Chapter。 176
Jessica's Chinese name is Lin Shengnan, and if you go back decades, it is very common to put such a name on a woman of the previous generation. After all www.biquge.info the phenomenon of preference for sons over daughters was still a frenzy at that time, and family planning was not prevalent.
If two daughters are born in a row, the third daughter will inevitably be given the name of "Zhaodi", which means that the next one can give birth to a son, and if it is an only daughter, it may be called "Shengnan", allusion, like a modern version of Mulan.
However, Jessica is a post-80s generation, a generation whose family planning is strictly implemented, theoretically has a one-child certificate, and can also allow parents to receive allowances, which should be worthy of recognition and affirmation, but she was still forced by her grandfather to take the name of "Shengnan", the name of the scumbag, and she was inevitably teased by her classmates since she was a child.
When she was able to control the content of her introduction, she always used her English name as a shield in strict and unquestionable terms, shielding herself from the harm that might come because of her name.
Jessica。 Lin Shengnan.
It's really just like grandpa expected, and he has grown into a "victorious man". Excellent, capable, tough, mature, steady, occasionally makes people feel cold and fierce, the appearance of a strong woman.
Whether it's disguised or instinctive, it's not a girlish image that you can't read on the surface, and after graduating from college, she climbed to the position of department head step by step with her strength.
Because of such a "victorious man" appearance, because of the name of such a "victorious man", he is always respected by the object of his affection.
But if you can't see it on the surface, it doesn't mean that you really don't have it in your heart. will also yearn for a beautiful love in the interval between busy careers. Persevering, longing for a love. However, as I grow older, I gradually understand that love, a thing that can be met but not sought, may not be desired, so at least a good marriage can be desired.
After the elders were worried about her ability, they finally began to worry about her lifelong events in the news of the neighbor's wedding or holding her grandson, and then hurriedly arranged a blind date for her.
Ye Qingyun is the fourth blind date she went to meet, different from the first Mediterranean hairstyle, different from the second one's oily face, and the third one's belly is different, Ye Qingyun is completely different from the first three who make people almost desperate for the blind date, he is refreshing and handsome like a prince.
Although at the time of the blind date, he was only a company employee focusing on product research and development, and he was far less successful than the first three. But it's not just the outside, Jessica sees the inside of him with a bright future.
It is possible to appreciate. Like. Love. Then start a family. Spend the rest of your life together.
For the first time, she tried to take the initiative: "Then let's try to have a relationship?" ”
#
This matter was said from Ye Qingyun's point of view: "I came back after graduating from college, and my job at that time was product research and development, and my practice was different from when I was studying, after all, I was very interested and very devoted, so I was busy all the time and forgot to have a girlfriend." ”
Cheng Jiayi smiled: "Forgot ......"
Ye Qingyun: "Then, Xia Xintong, do you remember?" ”
Cheng Jiayi: "Remember, and Yao Yufeng, when we were children, the four of us were fine, how could we forget?" Doesn't her house live next door to yours? ”
Ye Qingyun: "Well, yes, at that time, I didn't buy my current house yet, and I still lived in the original community, and she still lived there, so it was quite close." My parents always thought that I was a couple with her, so they didn't push me anything. But, in fact, we still have the same kind of friend relationship as before, so when she got married, she made my parents anxious, thinking that I was dumped, and I couldn't explain it, so I arranged a blind date for me. ”
Cheng Jiayi couldn't stop laughing: "Hahahahaha...... Uncle and aunt are so funny......"
Ye Qingyun: "Don't laugh...... That's when Jessica met ......."
Cheng Jiayi: "Well, then what? ”
Ye Qingyun touched her nose and was a little embarrassed: "She is very capable, maybe she liked me a little when we met for the first time...... Later, they would occasionally ask me to dinner and watch movies, and if I had time, I would go, after all...... Mom and Dad always knock on the side to inquire about the progress, and feel that it doesn't seem good to refuse directly......"
It was already on the way back after eating, Cheng Jiayi held the red bean milk tea he bought after the meal, bit the straw and sucked it slowly, vaguely: "Hmm." ”
Ye Qingyun: "Later...... It seems that I accidentally talked about the problem of work, and at that time, I had a top boss, which was not very good...... It seems that speaking ill of people behind their backs is ...... Scold...... In terms of R&D results...... It's like making a wedding dress for someone else......"
Cheng Jiayi: "Well, I understand...... So you want to go it alone? ”
Ye Qingyun: "No, I just complained at that time, but Jessica listened to it, and I didn't expect that after a while, she came to discuss with me about opening a company, and even the planning was very detailed and specific...... To be honest, I was really shocked by her ability at that time. ”
Cheng Jiayi: "Isn't that great?" A woman who is also helpful to you in your career, it would be better if you married into the door, wouldn't it? ”
Ye Qingyun: "However, after contact, I still feel that I don't have any kind of love for her besides appreciation, and I don't even like her because of appreciation, it's the kind of ...... that doesn't call at all."
Cheng Jiayi sneered.
Ye Qingyun's face was full of doubts, and he didn't understand such a serious sentence, where the laughter was, so he asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Cheng Jiayi waved his hand: "No." But he still couldn't help laughing.
Ye Qingyun frowned: "What are you laughing at?" ”
Cheng Jiayi held back for a while, but still chose to explain honestly: "No, I just think of the kind of cheating stories of successful people that I often hear, after I got rich, I suddenly felt that I spent too much energy starting a business in the past, as if there was a lack of a soft part related to love in my life, and then I found a young and beautiful girl to experience the so-called love, and abandoned the wretched wife who struggled together." ”
Ye Qingyun was helpless: "The brain hole is really big......
Cheng Jiayi smiled: "No...... It's good that you're doing that, at least to avoid the possibility of going bad in the future. ”
Ye Qingyun: "Hey......"
Cheng Jiayi still smiled: "No, no, no...... You continue to ...... What happened? ”
Ye Qingyun pondered for a while, and then took back the train of thought that she had interrupted: "Later...... Afterward...... I'm very interested in her planning, and she has experience and channels in marketing, so what I need to do is not much different from the original, but there is more space, so I really want to try it...... But I didn't want her to misunderstand, so I made the emotional aspect clear to her before talking about the partnership. ”
Cheng Jiayi: "What do you say?" ”
Ye Qingyun: "Let's just say that I want to start a business first, and I don't want to think about emotional issues......"
Cheng Jiayi: "Huh? Isn't that giving her hope? That's ...... ...... No wonder she still likes you to this day. ”
Ye Qingyun hurriedly explained: "No...... Be...... At that time, I also felt that I couldn't handle it well, so I quickly told her later, saying that I just admired her, and there might not be a way to generate more feelings......"
As she spoke, recalling that in the dim café, Jessica bit her lip with a forbearant expression, and asked sadly after a long time: "How do you know that there is no way without trying?" Since we appreciate each other, our feelings can also be cultivated slowly! ”
Ye Qingyun: "I'm sorry. ”
I'm sorry.
So she tried, and he refused.
In addition to appreciating each other. It also needs to like each other. Love each other. to be able to start a family. Spend the rest of your life together.
Cheng Jiayi: "But...... She still hasn't given up...... Is it really okay? ”
Ye Qingyun: "Just like I told you before, you can't like each other just because the other party likes you, and there is no way to force others, because you don't like others, and ask her to dislike you too...... She actually handled it quite well, with a clear distinction between public and private, I think, one day she will figure it out, there is an essential difference between appreciation and love after all. ”

Before going back to the room for good night, Ye Qingyun seemed to suddenly remember something, took out a key from his trouser pocket and threw it over: "The new key, I almost forgot to give it to you." ”
Cheng Jiayi caught it with both hands: "Oh, thank you!" ”
Ye Qingyun: "Good night." ”
Cheng Jiayi: "Good night." ”
It's like under the movie tag on a video website, which will be divided into genres such as: drama, literature, love, suspense, horror, action, war, science fiction...... Like other small labels, people who like to watch movies should also be subdivided according to their favorite genres.
Two people who are also movie lovers may also be unable to talk about it because one prefers more literary films and the other prefers more science fiction films.
So, it's not just hard to find someone who shares your own interests, but it's also very difficult to just find someone who is similar to your own preferences for movies.
Should Cheng Jiayi be considered a movie lover? It's half a lot. Because although she loves to watch movies, she doesn't have that much time to watch movies, so she has seen far less movies than those who are true movie lovers.
And because she and Shu Hang started too early, long before movies became common in life, almost every movie she watched had memories of Shu Hang.
The first impression I had was that I watched "The Grudge" together in his room in high school, and it was a very challenging film for high school students. At that time, Cheng Jiayi didn't have any concept of horror movies, but when he saw the retrieved movie posters, he had a feeling that he didn't dare to look at them directly.
Then Shu Hang took her hand and encouraged in a seductive tone: "This is very popular now, don't be afraid, I'm here!" ”
In order to create a terrifying atmosphere, the lights were deliberately turned off and the curtains were tightened.
Looking back after so many years, except for the little boy whose face was painted very white and whose eyes were two black holes, I can't remember the specific plot. I just remember that every time a terrifying sound effect sounded, I immediately raised my hand to block my eyes, afraid that a ghost would accidentally come out of the computer screen. Then there was Shu Hang's hand, which was blocking closely, at a position of 5 millimeters outside the back of her hand, with the warmth unique to boys, blocking her vision more densely.
Obviously, I still want to look at the plot secretly through my fingers, but with the feeling of being so nervous that I hold my breath and am so curious that my heart beats faster, outside the fingers between the middle finger and the ring finger, but Shu Hang's fingers are close together.
So I couldn't help but grab his hand with both hands, poke my head up a little, show my eyes, and exhale a breath of relaxation after seeing the sound stop the false alarm, and then screamed in fright when the sudden female ghost appeared.
When I was in high school, did the boys like Shu Hang like watching horror movies with their girlfriends to show their bravery?
So, earlier and earlier, before I met Shu Hang, the movie should have been "Titanic", or "Titanic" in the form of VCD discs, because junior high school students were ashamed to speak up and couldn't help but look forward to the large scale of curiosity and secretly circulated in the class.
Obviously, when she saw that the window glass was dyed with white mist by the blended breath, Rose's hand was also red when she made a clear mark in the fog, but she was red and blushing and said stubbornly: "You boys will only pay attention to Luo body, it's too tasteless!" ”

The reason why Cheng Jiayi suddenly thought of these was because a movie she wanted to watch was being shown in the cinema, and on a rare Saturday, when she asked Liu Meng to watch it on WeChat, her reply was: "I went to see this with Peng Haoyu last night, it's really good, I recommend you to watch it!" ”
Cheng Jiayi: "Heavy color and light friends!" ”
Liu Meng: "Hahaha! You also have today! Do you remember me when you watched a movie with Shu Hang? ”
Cheng Jiayi: "At that time, I also had an appointment with you~"
Liu Meng: "Do you think I can be happy if I ask me to make a light bulb?" ”
Cheng Jiayi had no choice but to make a crying and laughing expression.
Liu Meng: "Make an appointment with your landlord, he will definitely be happy to accompany you to the movie!" ”
Cheng Jiayi: "I didn't think about asking him out, and he went on a business trip." ”
Liu Meng: "No appointment is fake, the focus is on a business trip~"
Cheng Jiayi: "Don't keep taking me into the pit, I really don't want to have any emotional problems now." ”
Liu Meng: "Okay, okay, I'm going on a date, you slowly think about things other than emotional problems~"
#
Anything other than relationship problems?
At the moment, it seems that there is only the problem of who to watch the movie with.
It's like those movies that won't be delayed because she ran away alone for more than a year, although I want to watch it, I really want Cheng Jiayi to go to the cinema to watch it alone, and I still can't get used to that loneliness in my heart. can only wait for the resources to come out on the Internet for a long time, and then watch them silently by themselves.
So, now that I'm back, do I still have to continue the same way I was when I left before?
So, if there was a good movie, Shu Hang must have sat together in the couple's seat in the movie theater, is it okay now? Do you think of me when you see the movie you want to see come out?
It's back to relationship problems!

After Cheng Jiayi gave up the idea of watching movies, he aimlessly looked for books in Ye Qingyun's study, and professional books on machinery accounted for a large proportion, followed by economic management, and he was really a serious man.
There are three tiers of bookshelves, and it goes all the way to the highest level that there are some novels and essays. Cheng Jiayi moved a chair and stepped on it, scanning the authors and titles on the spine of the book one by one, Maupassant, Haizi, and Keigo Higashino, ...... "Les Miserables", "Four Generations in the Same Hall", and "Confucian Dreams...... Wait, Daphne? Du Maurier's "Butterfly Dream"? When I was in high school, I finished reading the book in chemistry class, and I had a super good impression of it, what is it about? I don't remember...... Let's relive it!
Cheng Jiayi happily pulled out the one she wanted, leaned lazily into the sofa and flipped it up. After reading 5 pages seriously, the doorbell rang crisply.
Ye Qingyun went on a business trip, and no one knew that I lived here, who would come at this time?
Cheng Jiayi put the open pages face down on the table, and ran to open the door in confusion.
and the man outside the door looked at each other for a while, but the other party spoke first: "Are you Cheng Jiayi?" ”
Cheng Jiayi: "Hmm...... Yao Yufeng? ”
Yao Yufeng was obviously happy: "Do you remember me?" Eh...... You've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you, you used to be like a tomboy, but I didn't expect to be so beautiful now! ”
Cheng Jiayi: "Ye Qingyun also said that I haven't changed at all......"
Yao Yufeng: "That's that, he looks at you and I definitely look at you differently, I didn't expect you to finally achieve positive results, it's not easy!" ”
Cheng Jiayi was shocked by the last sentence: "What? ”
Yao Yufeng: "He's really fast, I'm just going on a honeymoon, you've already entered the door." ”
Cheng Jiayi hurriedly waved his hand: "Huh? Isn't it...... You misunderstood, I didn't have a place to live in Hecheng, he only rented half of it to me, and we didn't have ......."
Yao Yufeng: "Still not?" It's a pity...... I thought he had waited so many years and finally had a result......"
Cheng Jiayi was puzzled: "Wait? ”
Yao Yufeng was also puzzled: "Ye Qingyun likes you, don't you know?" ”
was originally a natural sentence, but when he saw Cheng Jiayi's surprised expression, he suddenly realized that he might have said the wrong thing, would such a reckless straightforwardness destroy the pursuit plan of the dead party who wanted to capture and indulge? So Yao Yufeng hurriedly changed his words and said: "I'm also guessing, who told him to be single for so long...... After all, he used to be so good with you! ”
Cheng Jiayi exhaled in a daze: "Don't talk nonsense...... It scared the hell out of me...... We're good friends, aren't we...... How could he possibly like me? ”
Yao Yufeng smiled embarrassedly haha, but he sweated for his dead friend in his heart, obviously everyone has already lived in the house, and this development is too slow, but this kind of thing is not something that he can manage, so let's talk about it first. (To be continued.) )
