I still remember that there was once such a person, but virtual is virtual after all, and no matter what, it is still destined to end in tragedy.

Xiao Yao stood in front of the window and looked upstairs in a complicated mood, it was still blue sky and white clouds, and it was already dark clouds at the moment.

The wind outside the window made the trees rustle, and even the flowers and plants on the floor swayed with the wind, like a sky that can change.

When Wen Yichen pushed the door with Lin Huoyan and entered, what he saw was his lonely back, and both of them were slightly stunned.

The Ah Yao they usually see is not what he is now, and sentimentality has never been suitable for him, after all, he is a person who should live a sunny life.

"Yao." Wen Yichen lowered his voice, originally brought Yanyan to discuss things with him, but seeing him like this at this time, he was afraid that he would hide something from him and refuse to say it.

I can't remember when it started, at that time, everyone became neighbors when they were young, and the fighting and slapping all the way up laid the brotherhood of several of them, so they naturally didn't feel good when they saw him lonely.

Lin Huoyan pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but the worry in her eyes couldn't deceive people, and she was also worried about him.

The room was still eerily quiet, and no one was silent this time.

The clock on the wall ticked and ticked, and I don't know how long it took for Xiao Yao to turn around, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, as if nothing happened.

"Looks like I need a special help." Fang Cai's face was still full of contemplation, and at this time, he had returned to his previous cold and warm heart, Xiao Yao pursed his lower lip slightly, and joked with him, but his face was still faint.

When he caught a glimpse of Lin Huoyan standing beside him, he remembered the old man's chaotic mandarin duck score some time ago, but he still nodded with her and said softly, "Come and sit." ”

I don't know if it's because she was the old man's favored granddaughter-in-law or because of something else, he is a little uncomfortable at the moment, but fortunately, there is Yichen by his side.

Lin Huoyan smiled, guessing that he was still minding Grandpa Xiao's disrespect for the elderly, and without shirking, he sat on the soft chair opposite him, took out the documents in his bag and pushed them in front of him.

"This is the content of the project that my father has drawn up, I think it's pretty good after reading it, of course, the premise is that Ayao can sign a contract with us."

This form has been written a long time ago, but I haven't had time to send it over to talk to him, after all, the two have their own companies to manage, and she is not at ease when it is handed over to the secretary, so she has not come to discuss until now.

The project is of absolute interest to everyone, and if the cooperation goes well, it will be convenient for the surrounding residents, and the cost will be minimized.

She is confident that she can let Ayao sign a contract, even if she doesn't look at the love she grew up with since childhood, she should think about the company.

However, the result was often unexpected by her, Xiao Yao opened the folder with his left hand, flipped through two or three pages with his right hand, and swept the content on it at a glance, frowning and not optimistic.

"Huo Yan, if my uncle's company really needs to carry out this project, I suggest that you carefully consider the copywriting first, and then come to me to talk about cooperation after thinking clearly." It's not that he doesn't give her face, but if she really does what she does, it will not be possible to succeed in the end, and it is not thorough in the end.

This is a tactful refusal, Lin Huoyan showed a look of loss, and soon raised a standard smile again, not embarrassed by the rejection at all, and still said to him: "Is there something not good enough?" I think this piece of land is still ideal for building a resort, it is close to the sea, and the geographical transportation is also very convenient, if you are worried about the demolition of residential houses, I think-"

She thought he was worried that the resort would affect the residents next to her once the project began, so she planned to explain it to him.

It's just that this project has been denied by him, Xiao Yao will no longer agree to cooperate, and at this time, he was a little annoyed to hear her keep talking, so he simply interrupted her and said-

"You don't need to explain this to me, Huo Yan, I think you should know me, the Shaw Group has not been involved in resorts and other projects for a long time, so I'm really sorry."

If there was even the slightest possibility, he would not ignore her request, but this kind of project is not what he is good at, and blind investment will only be disrespectful to the company's employees.

"But Ah Yao—" Lin Huoyan frowned slightly, and wanted to say something more when Wen Yichen, who was listening on the side, squeezed a glance at her, so she didn't say any more.

Undoubtedly, this negotiation was unpleasant, but it did not affect the friendship between the several of them, and when it was time to get off work, they made an appointment to dine at the city's most famous restaurant, "Han Palace".

The three of them sat by the window, and the waiter was also a human being, and when he saw that they were well-dressed, he hurriedly came over with a smile on his face to ask.

There is an unwritten rule at the dinner table, whenever accompanied by a lady, the lady will be asked to order first, and Xiao Yao and Wen Yichen are naturally the same.

Under the waiter's expectant gaze, Lin Huoyan took the menu and glanced at it a few times, then turned her head and smiled with her gently: "Blue Mountain coffee, as well as cheese, mashed potatoes and steak." ”

After speaking, he thanked her very elegantly, and then handed the menu to the two people opposite.

Xiao Yao didn't take it, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said to her with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth: "Let Yichen choose, he knows my taste." ”

In fact, he wanted a cup of multigrain porridge and black soybean milk, and unconsciously thought of Xiao Shuyi again, it seems that her favorite dessert is semi-liquid food such as porridge.

But it's just a matter of thinking about it, although there are all kinds of places like the Han Palace, no one will really order these two things, and the people who can come here are either rich or expensive, and it is still necessary to pretend.

The menu fell into Wen Yichen's hands, and he saw that he had a wrinkled face like bitter melon, and reluctantly chose a few more expensive dishes.

The service of the Han Palace restaurant is very fast, and they serve the dishes one after another after ordering, each dish is only a little bit, but it looks very pleasing to the eye.

So, the more upscale the place, the more you can't get enough to eat.

"I didn't expect you to change the taste, I thought you would prefer something heavier." Lin Huoyan glanced at the dishes on the table, which were basically relatively light, different from the spicy dishes he liked before.

She still remembers that when she was a child, as long as there were no chili peppers in the dishes made by Aunt Xiao, he would rather be hungry than move his chopsticks, and now after so many years, he has also changed.

"There will always be changes, people can't stay the same."

A pun, the meaning of which is not difficult to guess, but it is true, didn't the ancients still say that "things are not people"?

As his words came out, Lin Huoyan suddenly didn't know how to continue, so she had to drink coffee silently.

As if sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, although Wen Yichen was his special assistant, he was also the little hair of the two, so he smirked, pushed the plate of pasta in front of him, and said: "Ah Yao still eat the pasta first, when I came back, I felt that it tasted good, and it felt like authentic Western food." ”

When he said this, Xiao Yao also seemed to feel that his words were a little out of place, and he naturally went down the stairs, and immediately started the meal slowly and methodically, without saying anything throughout the whole process.

When the three of them came out of the Han Palace, it was close to the time for afternoon tea, so Xiao Yao asked Wen Yichen to take charge of sending her back.

"Ah Yao, is it convenient to say a few words?" Seeing that he was leaving, Lin Huoyan hurriedly got out of the car and asked at the back of him bending into the car.

She didn't want to be urged by her parents to deal with her and Ah Yao after she went home, she didn't know that he had a favorite person before, but now she knows that it must be cleared up, so as to save everyone embarrassment.

And she herself has something to ask, no matter how she says it, she is small, and she should care about it.

Suddenly stopped, Xiao Yao's hand movement paused slightly, then turned to look at her, and nodded at her to indicate that it was okay.

Lin Huoyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this, walked up to him with a Chanel bag, and asked what she thought with a serious expression: "Is the girl at last night's drinking party really your girlfriend?" Ah Yao, you also know what my parents mean, if she is the person you like, please tell my parents in person when the time comes, so that they can die and avoid further misunderstanding. ”

Originally, they were two people who only had brother and sister friendship, and they happened to have their own favorite people, so it was better to be clear than muddy.

Xiao Yao bowed his head, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, even if she didn't mention it, he would find someone to tell Uncle Lin's family.

"Well, in a few days, it's okay to talk about it."

Agreed, Lin Huoyan's worried heart suddenly dissipated, and was replaced by a sincere smile, and she said thank you softly and got into Wen Yichen's car.

The road ahead, the sea and the sky, how to be happy depends on yourself.

She doesn't deny that Ayao is perfect except for being a little cold, but there is a saying that is right, turnip greens have their own love, no matter how good he is, she only needs to bless and not participate.

After the car started, she looked at him through the window and moved her lips, saying "Good luck".

For some reason, that girl looks supple and innocent on the surface, but she always feels that this is not the real her, and she clearly said last night that the two have no relationship, so Ah Yao's love road is quite difficult.

Xiao Yao was a little confused by her, so after seeing what she was talking about, the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely, is there a small hair like her? Obviously gloating!

After standing for a while, he drove away in the dust, and there were two tutoring classes for her in the evening, so I guessed that her expression must be more ugly than crying.

After all, the misunderstanding at the first meeting was not very good.

Although it was close to the start time of the tutoring class at this time, Xiao Shuyi still calmly manipulated her trumpet to have fun, and did not care at all which teacher would be in charge later.

S University also offers on-campus tutoring like other universities, but the number of places is limited, and the students accepted are generally the top top students, and all four of them are lucky enough to be selected.

It's a blessing, but in fact, few people are willing to listen, it's too late to be lazy, where is that idle time?

It's just that because of the headmaster's majesty and the threat of credits, they don't have a choice.
