I didn't expect Sun Yiqing to call me, and I didn't expect that he would hear the abnormality in my voice. I needed someone to talk to, so I put on my coat and went straight to the elevator.

The afternoon sun was a little dazzling, the road was full of pedestrians coming and going, I went around the long road, looked at the mottled reflection under the tree, all the way to the east, under a big banyan tree, I saw Sun Yiqing.

Last time, I didn't have time to thank him for helping to fix the faucet, and this time I have to complain to him again, and I feel a little sorry for it. The man standing in the distance didn't seem to have that idea.

He was wearing a V-neck T-shirt with a blue and white striped suit over it, and he was looking at me from the front of the car with big sunglasses on his face.

We sat on the wooden chairs under the park, with the sound of laughter in the distance, and not far away were the citizens playing by the lake.

There are some things that are easy to keep by yourself, but it is difficult and tortuous to say them.

In the middle of the night, Sun Yiqing walked behind the tree, and when he came back, he held two cold drinks in his hand and handed me one.

He looked at me with a smile and said, "When your heart is bitter, you can try something sweeter, so that you don't feel so bitter." ”

I laughed and said, "Thank you for helping fix the faucet last time, I don't know when you left...... Sorry, didn't thank you properly. ”

Sun Yiqing shrugged his shoulders slightly, looked at me, and said, "There are many things you don't know." "There is nothing wrong with his natural smile, and he always has an open-mindedness in him that makes me envious.

I nodded, feeling something, and said, "Indeed, I am just a speck of dust in the vastness, and I don't care about it." ”

"What the hell is going on? Is it convenient to say it? Perhaps, I can help you analyze it. Sun Yiqing took the straw and milk tea in my hand, and after inserting it, he handed it back and motioned for me to taste it.

I took a sip, the sweet taste spread between my lips and teeth, and I suddenly felt better.

The warm afternoon sun crept up the palm of my hand, thin and mottled, as if telling me something about it.

I opened my mouth, glanced at the figure beside me, and summarized the incident of Gao Zijian's mother in one sentence: "Auntie came to me and told me clearly that the Gao family could not accept a daughter-in-law like me." ”

Sun Yiqing glanced at me, suddenly chuckled, and said, "Her thoughts are already in your expectations, why bother." ”

"How could I not care? Gao Zijian because I have already turned my face with my aunt, I don't want them to make a fuss like this, but I also understand that I can't let go of myself at all. "My nose was so sore that I almost burst into tears.

"Do you want to hear me tell the truth?" Sun Yiqing looked at me and asked seriously.

I nodded, and heard him say: "I know what you think, maybe I should encourage you, strive for your own happiness, don't care about what your parents think, but, this is obviously self-deception, the relationship between parents and younger generations already exists, it is impossible to be concealed, let alone parted, a friend of mine has also encountered the same problem as you, at that time I did encourage her to fight, but now, I regret it." ”

"Regrets?" I'm a little puzzled.

"I encouraged her to pursue her own happiness, but it turned out that after a few years, she was not happy." Sun Yiqing shrugged his shoulders and said: "Three years, such a long time, she was busy fighting with her parents, busy being a good daughter-in-law in her mother-in-law's mind, completely forgetting to enjoy her life and losing her true self. Instead of this, why should you be so wronged yourself? ”

"You mean, I don't have to spend it?" I was a little surprised.

Sun Yiqing shook his head and said, "No, I believe that you have the answer to this question yourself, I just think that it is still good for you to recognize the facts earlier." ”

I understood what Sun Yiqing meant, there was no need for me to continue dreaming.

"It seems that you have also heard some rumors about the Gao family in this city, in fact, I also understand that in their hearts, the concept of the family is deep-rooted, and I am indeed making trouble for myself."

Sun Yiqing sighed and said: "Chen Xiaojia, the concept of the door is only secondary, the main problem lies with you and Gao Zijian, if he handles it well, you will be able to suffer a little less, otherwise, you will go through twists and turns." ”

Gao Zijian? Gao Zijian has a lot of problems to deal with now, and I can't bear him, I can't bear it.

Tears flowed down my eyes. Because I am a little helpless, because I am a little dissatisfied, I am more afraid, I am afraid that Gao Zijian will leave me, and I am even more afraid that we will lose to reality.

Sun Yiqing leaned over slightly, stretched out his hand, and the white handkerchief shook gently under my eyes twice, and said, "Chen Xiaojia, you are obviously not a crying woman, but recently, you have cried several times." Is he really good to you? ”

I nodded, but my cry grew louder and louder.

"He's not mature now, it's very worrying......" Sun Yiqing looked at me with a smile and said, "But it's okay, if there's any problem, look for me, I'll try my best to help." ”

I nodded, as Sun Yiqing said, I already have the answer in my heart.

Sun Yiqing moved beside me, pointed to his shoulder, and said, "Cry, I won't peek, just cry." ”

I bit my lip and cried louder, as if the grievances in my heart had erupted at this moment, and the arm behind me gently pushed me to his shoulder, leaning on his shoulder and crying, very relieved.

I know I can't let go of Gao Zijian.

In the evening, he said goodbye to Sun Yiqing downstairs, looking at his suit jacket apologetically, but he didn't care and turned away.

Being reminded by Sun Yiqing, I was almost more sure that I couldn't be separated from Gao Zijian. Since attitudes can be changed, I try to change myself to cater to the views of Gao Zijian's parents.

I cooked two dishes and one soup and called Gao Zijian, but the phone was always on the phone. At eight o'clock in the evening, the door opened, and Gao Zijian dragged his tired body back.

His face was a little ugly, his hair was a little messy, and his collar seemed to have been torn off, and the whole person looked very embarrassed.

I hurried over, put my slippers at his feet, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gao Zijian raised his head and looked at me and said, "Chen Xiaojia, something happened." ”

The words "something happened" suddenly sounded an alarm bell in my heart, I took Gao Zijian's hand, slowly walked to the bedside, and asked nervously: "What's wrong?" ”

Gao Zijian sighed softly and said, "The studio was smashed." ”

I was surprised and immediately stood up from the edge of the bed, looked at Gao Zijian, and said, "Who did it?" ”

Gao Zijian shook his head and said, "I can't see any clues in the surveillance of the building, the police came over and left, Xiaojia, I have nothing." ”

"No, you still have me." I held Gao Zijian's hands, and felt uneasy in my heart, first there was a problem with the renovated store of the North First Ring Road, and then the studio was smashed inexplicably, is there any connection to all this?

lowered his head and looked at the heavy dark circles on Gao Zijian's face, and the things that Aunt Ji came over during the day choked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

"How's the renovation going? Can Li Shu help? I looked at Gao Zijian distressedly and asked.

Gao Zijian shook his head and said, "The bidding project we talked about yesterday, Li Shu missed, he has more problems now than me, just Xiao Jia, I may have nothing." ”

"Gao Zijian, don't talk nonsense, isn't the store in the North First Ring Road closed next month? Don't be so quick to come to conclusions, let's think about it. I put my arms around Gao Zijian and said in a gentle voice.

Gao Zijian raised his head to look at me, opened his mouth, and said, "Xiaojia, the decoration problem has been answered, and the supplier responsible for providing us with cement is temporary, and now, nowhere to be found." ”

This time, I finally knew what a house leak was because it rained overnight, and for a while, I didn't know what to say.

The room was dimly lit, and I stood in front of Gao Zijian, and we glanced at each other, knowing for the first time what it was called hardship. This problem is not new to me, but I know that for Gao Zijian, it is very cruel.

I have a strange idea that, secretly, someone is deliberately playing tricks. It's just this person, I don't know who it is, so many accidents have come one after another, is it intentional or unintentional? The renovation accident may be explained, but what about the smashed studio? How can this act of direct provocation be explained?

After a while, Gao Zijian raised his head, looked at me, and said, "Chen Xiaojia, I may, really, have nothing." ”

I smiled, gently brushed my fingers across Gao Zijian's face, and said with a smile: "What you don't have is something outside the body, and I've always been there." ”

Gao Zijian suddenly held my hand tightly and asked, "Chen Xiaojia, according to the contract, I need to compensate the shopkeeper for double the loss, and the studio can't be opened." When the time comes, not only will I have no money, but I may also lose my job. ”

I can feel the fine sweat in Gao Zijian's palm, I know what he is afraid of, because he has never experienced loss, so he will be afraid, unlike me, I have never had, I don't know the sadness of loss.

Leaned down, gently dropped a kiss on Gao Zijian's lips, and said: "We will compensate for the loss together, the big deal will be a few years of suffering, who is Gao Zijian, I don't believe he will be poor for a lifetime." ”

"Little ......"

"Gao Zijian, don't be discouraged, even if the studio is smashed, so what? The rent of the house is for one year, let's go over tomorrow to clean it well, tidy it up a little, and we can continue. The loss of the storefront house, we will first find a reliable decoration company to help complete it, and reduce the loss to a minimum, don't worry, I will accompany you. ”

"Xiaojia, the redecoration of the store means that all the previous expenses have been wasted, it is all my hard work......" Gao Zijian's voice was a little choked.

I lightly imprinted a kiss on Gao Zijian's forehead and said, "I know very well who we Gao Zijian are, isn't it just a matter of money?" The two of us will figure out a way together, I'm too tired today, eat something first, and discuss it tomorrow. ”

I pulled Gao Zijian up from the bed, his voice was hoarse, he said he had no appetite.

Of course I know that these few things have exhausted him, Gao Zijian seems to be mature, in fact, I know that so far, today's setbacks may be the most profound setbacks he has experienced when he grows up, he has no dependence, no support, no bank card prepared by his parents, only me.

I understand his vulnerability and I have to be stronger than him.

Brought the dishes and chopsticks to Gao Zijian, fed him two bites, he shook his head, very tired.

I didn't want to force him to go to dinner again, so I took off his shoes and carried him to the bed.

I turned my face to look at Gao Zijian, and said with a smile, "I'll go get you some water and wash your face." ”

Gao Zijian shook his head, like a schoolboy being bullied, and said, "I want to hold you." ”

I simply lay down, snuggled tightly with Gao Zijian, and said, "It's okay, I'll accompany you, I'm always there." ”

Gao Zijian sighed and said, "Xiao Jia, I just made a rough calculation, this time, I may have to bear about 500,000 foreign debts. ”

Half a million? Although I was fully prepared, I didn't expect that there would be so much.

"Li Shu has also invested a lot of money in order to bid, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull out the extra funds to help me this time, let's ......" Gao Zijian said Finally, only a hoarse voice could be heard in his voice.

"I know......" I held Gao Zijian's hand and said, "Let's think of a way slowly, don't be in a hurry, can't be in a hurry." ”

Gao Zijian stretched out his arm, hugged me in his arms as before, let out a long sigh, and said: "Chen Xiaojia, be with me, you didn't ask me to have a penny, I have always seen this in my eyes, and now, if you want to suffer with me, will you feel wronged?" ”

Where is this voice Gao Zijian's voice? His voice is loud and pleasant, where is the hoarse and weak voice at this moment?

He has changed, but his changes and these grievances are all because of me, what do I have, my position to say that I am wronged?

......I raised my eyes to look up at the man in front of me and asked, "If I had a way to help you now, would you listen to me?" ”

Gao Zijian's face was stunned, and he motioned for me to continue.

I lowered my eyes and said in a calm voice: "Gao Zijian, I am willing to accompany you, no matter how hard it is ahead, I am willing, I just want to ask you, are you afraid of hardship?" If you're afraid, you can talk to Uncle Gao, and maybe, they can ......"

Gao Zijian's index finger blocked my mouth, his eyes were dark and translucent, he looked at me and said, "Chen Xiaojia, my women are not afraid, how can I be afraid?" I didn't want to ask them for any help, and that's my answer. ”

Why don't I understand? Uncle and Aunt Gao were already not very satisfied with me, and if they knew that Gao Zijian had become like this after cutting off financial assistance from them, they would only persuade Gao Zijian to leave me even more.

Gao Zijian is different from me, even if he causes a big incident, after all, he is still Uncle Gao's son, and he is still the son of the military compound. Who will fight against his own son? Not at all.

"Gao Zijian ......" I sniffed, hugged him, and said, "With me, you are also wronged." ”

"Don't say that," Gao Zijian glared at me and said, "Chen Xiaojia, I love you......"

I looked at Gao Zijian in surprise and listened to him continue: "I love you...... So I don't want you to be wronged, I ...... I'm not a good man......"

I bit Gao Zijian's lip with some dissatisfaction, expressing my deep protest.

Gao Zijian was so tired that he slept very deeply, and after the May Day holiday, I still had to go to work, so I left a note for her and ran directly to the company.

At lunchtime, I made an appointment with Durian to be downstairs, and I got straight to the point and directly talked about borrowing money.

Durian asked me why I was in such a hurry to use money, and I briefly told Durian about the unlucky problem that Gao Zijian had encountered recently, and she felt incredible when she heard it.

Because last night, Zheng Kai was hurriedly called over by Li Shu, and he also borrowed money.

Li Shu's bid failed, and the fact that he had won the bid 100% suddenly came a bolt from the blue, and he didn't win. However, Li Shu has already signed a contract with the contractor, and when the time comes, he cannot start construction, and he is negotiating losses.

Compared with Gao Zijian, Li Shu is not much better.

I asked the durian how much he could lend me.

Durian looked at me and said, "Chen Xiaojia, have you figured it out?" You and Gao Zijian are not married now, and the funds owed are not a few, it doesn't matter if the money goes in, what about the future? Gao Zijian's parents are so capable, where do you need to help? ”

I know what durian means, she is afraid that I will lose my body and lose money, and in the end, if I don't be with Gao Zijian, I will lose my youth, and it is not worth it.

Durian is rational, but there is no way, I have already made a decision.

Seeing that I had made up her mind, Durian gestured her index finger at me, and I smiled lightly and said, "Ten thousand? ”

"Cut, look at your little bit of interest," Durian said with disdain on her face, "One hundred thousand." ”

Shakespeare said that if you want to test your relationship with someone, borrow money from her. I didn't expect Durian to be so generous, after all, I have been working with her for so long and have never interfered with each other's privacy, but I understand that she is not the kind of person who is a big spender, and I was really touched to be able to say this number in one breath.

"With the 50,000 in my bank card, a total of 150,000, I should be able to cope with it for a while." I sighed softly and said.

"Chen Xiaojia, isn't your money going to prepare life insurance for your uncle and aunt? Didn't you say that it had been saved for two years? Durian looked at me and said, "100,000 yuan should be able to cope for a while, I won't let you pay it back, I will keep this account on Gao Zijian's body, and don't take out the money you used to buy insurance for your uncle and aunt." ”

Yes, I endured the most difficult times in life, but now, where is the time to care about this time? I took a soft breath and said, "Let's explain it to my parents when I go back for the Chinese New Year, I can't tell Gao Zijian about this matter, understand?" ”

Durian looked at me, sandwiched the chicken from the dinner plate to my plate, and said, "Chen Xiaojia, I admire you very much, it's me, I don't have such courage." ”

I smiled softly, and just as I was about to speak, my phone rang, and when I picked it up, it turned out to be a call from Li Shu.

Durian and I glanced at each other and picked up the phone.

"Chen Xiaojia, is the sub-key there? I have something to talk to him about. Li Shu's somewhat impatient voice came.

I coughed softly and said, "Maybe I'm still sleeping now, what's wrong?" Anxious? ”

"Are you together now? Things are indeed a bit tricky, tell me your address......" Li Shu said nervously.

I lowered my head and glanced at the time, and said, "I'm in the company, not far from home, it's too late to go back now, can you tell me what's urgent?" ”

Li Shu was the sound of the horn from the car, it seemed that he was a little impatient, and said: "Yesterday, Zijian asked me to go to the businessman who was responsible for providing him with cement, so I paid attention to it, who knew that things were so coincidental, when I went to the construction site in the morning, the person who was wantonly making trouble with the workers was actually a person!! ”

Alone? What does that mean?

"Okay, I'll go back immediately, I'll send the address to your phone!" I hurriedly said goodbye to Durian and told her to remember to help me ask for leave in case she couldn't come, and run straight to the apartment.

The person who caused trouble with Li Shu, and the person who provided Gao Zijian with cement with quality problems, turned out to be the same person? Was it a coincidence, or was it really deliberate, as I imagined?

If it was deliberate, who would that person be?

I stood at the intersection in a panic, waving my hand to take a taxi, but my heart was messy, when did our life become so complicated?

Who is it that wants to make things difficult in every way? Won't want to keep us safe?

Gao Zijian, if he knows the truth, can he treat it calmly? I don't know any of this.
