"You don't know, now the United States and Japan ...... Eh, you're here! When Xiao Long was explaining international politics with his eyebrows fluttering, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Ji Mingchen who pushed the door in, as well as Zhong Qing and Zou Tongtong with different expressions.

"How did you all get here?" Xu Ye got up to greet him, he had grown a lot taller, his original messy curly hair was combed back into his back, and his facial features were more handsome than when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Downstairs." Ji Mingchen stepped forward, Xu Ye put the bag on the sofa for him, and pulled out a chair to signal Ji Mingchen to sit.

"Don't bother, just sit all day and stand up." Ji Mingchen leaned on the back of the chair and said with a smile.

"What's the matter with you two? It's like a guest. Xiao Long looked at Xu Ye and took good care of Ji Mingchen, and wanted to tease, but he opened his mouth, not only did he not achieve the comedic effect he wanted, but also got a room speechless.

A few people who were already embarrassed were even more embarrassed.

"Uh...... What's wrong with them one by one? I seem to have a lot of redundancy here! ”

Zou Tongtong took the lead in breaking the deadlock, and she said to Xiao Long: "It's not a day or two that you're redundant."

"Ha, it used to be redundant, and now it's redundant, it's really a loss of conscience!" Xiao Long didn't seem to see that Zou Tongtong was breaking the siege, and said endlessly.

In the past, these five-person groups were a pair of public, a pair of undisclosed but well-known passers-by, plus a Xiao Long. He also often complained that the other four people left him alone in pairs without even saying hello, and he often threatened to be independent, but when it came to dinner, he still followed the four people with a shy face, eating and drinking with a dead face.

Xu Ye, as the person who invited the guests, naturally didn't want the atmosphere to become so stiff, and warmly beckoned Zhong Qing and Zou Tongtong to sit down.

"I looked at the menu, and some of our favorite dishes were still there, and I was really thinking about them abroad."

Zhong Qing said: "Can't get used to eating in the United States?"

"I'm used to eating early, that is, Western food is not better than home cooking from snacks to big, the taste is single, there are actually a lot of Chinese restaurants where I live but the taste is not authentic, plus I can't cook, so I want to."

Zou Tongtong responded lukewarmly on the other side: "Wouldn't it be good to find a girlfriend who can cook and accompany you in the United States?"

Zhong Qing felt that the relationship between the two was really weird, so she asked, "By the way, Xu Ye, I don't know if you have a girlfriend now?"

"No, I've been busy with work in the past few years," Xu Ye waved his hand and said with a smile: "And I'm not interested in foreign girls."

"Xu Ye likes a girl who is gentle on the outside, simple on the inside, and a good wife and mother according to the bird, Zhong Qing, if you know the right one, remember to introduce him!" As soon as Zou Tongtong opened her mouth, it was like taking gunpowder, and Zhong Qing really wondered if she was in a relationship with Xu Ye.

"It's too demanding, I've lowered the requirements a lot now, as long as it fits her eyes, regardless of her appearance and heart." Xu Ye took the small teapot and poured water one by one, saying as he poured.

"Yes, sometimes you don't have to ask for anything but you can meet the right one." Zhong Qing decisively chose to change the topic, "Then you come back this time, are you still leaving?" ”

"I won't leave for the time being, but if I don't go back to the United States, I may have to go to work in a company in Shanghai, and the branch is in Shanghai, but Zhongning is very close to Shanghai, and I can come back at any time if I want to."

"It's good to be back." Ji Mingchen, who had never spoken, took a sip of tea and said to Xu Ye.

"You only returned to Zhongning this year, right?"

"Well, similar to you, this year, the head office sent me to Zhongning to be the general manager of a subsidiary, but I don't have much real power."

"Originally in Beijing?"

"Yes."

"Take your time, I understand where you are."

Zhong Qing wanted to open his mouth several times, wanting to ask him why he could talk endlessly when he saw Xu Ye, but he didn't say a word when he saw himself?

Only then did she understand what Ji Mingchen meant when he said in the car, "I thought I would be very angry with him, but the phone call was the same as it was at the beginning", the two of them sat together, their appearance changed from young to mature, their clothes changed from school uniforms to suits, the location changed from football stadiums to restaurants, and the topic changed from football stars to careers, but the tone of the conversation and the familiarity between the words have not changed at all, although Ji Mingchen said that he and Xu Ye have not seen each other for two years.

Zhong Qing sighed to herself, the relationship between the brothers was far stronger than she imagined.

"By the way, Zhong Qing, I remembered something, I saw Qiao Ruxiao in your original class in San Francisco a while ago, her appearance has changed so much that I almost didn't recognize it."

"Qiao Ruxiao?"

"Jomo Chou?"

Zhong Qing and Zou Tongtong blurted out, and Zhong Qing was immediately silenced, thinking about how to answer Xu Ye in his mind.

Zou Tongtong preemptively said: "She has plastic surgery, okay?" I heard that she spent millions on her face, I saw her at the cocktail party of my husband's company last year, and she is not as good-looking as before! ”

Qiao Mochou is Qiao Ruxiao, her student days were simply the entire Zhongning City, contradicting teachers, bullying classmates, and even chasing a boy was known to the whole school, and then passed on ten to hundred, her deeds were also passed on to the gods, and there were various terrifying versions, at that time, Jin Yong's martial arts novels were still hot, and many people called her the devil Li Mochou behind her back, because she was ruthless but gave a very gentle name, everyone changed her name to Qiao Mochou.

"Is she still chasing Liang Baizhou? I remember that the name of her film and television company was Mu Zhou, and I knew what it meant at a glance. ”

Zhong Qing thought to herself, look, Qiao Ruxiao, no matter if you hide it or don't admit it, loving someone always shows your feet everywhere.

"I don't know much about that, but I think she's much better looking than she used to be."

"Is her dad a billionaire?" Xiao Long interjected.

Ten years ago, Qiao Ruxiao was able to do whatever she wanted, all because of her multimillionaire father, and ten years later, there were rumors that her father's current property valuation was unimaginable, and it was not enough to be a billionaire.

"I don't even know that."

Zou Tongtong frowned and asked, "I remember that at that time, she didn't care about anyone, just ignored you alone, and I thought it was so strange at that time."

Zhong Qing's thoughts drifted to the distant past, Qiao Ruxiao, who was sitting under the national flag platform to greet Zhong Qing, Qiao Ruxiao, who pretended not to care but secretly wiped her tears, and Qiao Ruxiao, who was dressed in a fancy dress and had a hard mouth in the office today, all overlapped, she suddenly felt that ten years had passed, and everyone had changed more or less under the weight of life, only Qiao Ruxiao brought her withdrawn stubbornness and coldness from the past to the present.

"Maybe I didn't care about anything at that time, and I didn't bother to care if she was an outlier, but she was moved by her as well as other classmates. At that time, she didn't want to be afraid, nor to flatter, she just wanted others to treat her equally, and I happened to do it! ”

"Yes, you were bent on chasing Ji Mingchen at that time!" Xiao Long interjected again, Zhong Qing almost wanted to raise the small teacup and pour the hot water inside on Xiao Long's face.
