Qing Dai never thought that at this time, she would see Mu Jinbai in this situation.

"Brother Jinbai?!"

to her.

to him.

It's all three words that have not been seen for a long time.

These three words instantly brought Mu Jinbai's thoughts to the emotions he first saw her a few years ago.

That year, he was seventeen, and Qingdai had just turned thirteen.

That year, he got an offer from Stanford, and after a big quarrel with his father, he rushed to school alone to start his academic life.

The mood is gloomy and gloomy.

He hardly socializes with people, and every day in addition to classes, he goes to the lobby of a five-star hotel near the school to play the piano to earn money.

That day, after playing a tune, he heard someone clapping.

He followed the applause and saw a young girl standing outside the window under a spring tree, her head and face full of spots of light cast from the leaves, and a bright smile.

The girl's eyes were scattered with points of light, like a galaxy of brilliant his whole depressed world.

"You...... What are you doing here? ”

Qing Dai's voice pulled him back from his memories.

"Hearing my father talk about the funeral, I'll come and see (your) ......"

The word "you" swirled on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it back in the end.

Qing Dai looked sideways, and her gaze fell back to the old man's tombstone.

"Thank you."

There are still undried tears in the corners of the girl's eyes.

Mu Jinbai knew what her grandfather meant to her.

At that time, Qing Dai's mother had just gotten married to a wealthy banker.

The other party also has two daughters, and the family life is very comfortable, but she is not happy.

Because it was just a big gorgeous house and an emotionless stranger, the mother had to please two stepdaughters in order to maintain the position of good hostess, and she seemed to be an outsider.

Therefore, after school, she always did not like to go home, wandered around the road, and sometimes sat on the side of the street and painted for hours, until it was dark.

That day, he played the piano in the lobby for four hours, and she sat outside and listened for four hours.

Two young people who are also lonely have become a pair of tacit understanding.

He played the piano every day, and she came over after school every day to draw outside the window while listening to him play the piano.

Playing the piano in the hotel lobby is just like background music.

No one really stopped to listen, she was the only real listener to him.

Because of this audience, Mu Jinbai changes his repertoire every day.

On the third day, he played a tune of his own, and she cried outside the window with red eyes.

When he got off work, she took the initiative to come over and stretched out her right hand to him.

"My name is Qingdai, let's make friends, shall we?"

At that time, she was like this, with tears in the corners of her eyes, but she still tried to show a smile.

So......

It's heart-wrenching.

Mu Jinbai's fingers hanging on his side moved, but he still didn't lift them.

Just spoke gently, just like a young boy back then.

"What if...... If you need a shoulder, I can lend you. ”

Qing Dai's shoulders trembled, but she finally couldn't hold back, reached over and grabbed his shirt, and sobbed lowly.

"You know, I can't help it...... I can't do anything...... I...... I could only watch him breathless......"

Whether in front of the young family, or when she called her mother, she was extremely strong.

In this life, only in front of Mu Jinbai will she show her vulnerability. Beanie boxes

With frowning brows, Mu Jinbai raised his palm, supported her back, and gently patted comfortingly.

"I know, I understand, I understand."

Because he too has lost.

After crying all the tears that have been suppressed these days, and after saying all the words that are blocked in her heart, Qingdai's emotions gradually stabilized.

Noticing that she was still leaning against his chest, and the man's arm was still half-wrapped around her, she realized that the posture of the two was a little ambiguous.

Straightening up, she wiped her eyes with his handkerchief hanging her face.

When I looked up again, I was already smiling again.

"I'm sorry, I'm a bit out of shape, thank you for coming. Grandpa he ...... Must have been happy. ”

She......

It's the same.

Mu Jinbai looked sideways, and his gaze fell on the old man on the tombstone.

He took a few steps back and solemnly bowed three times to the other party.

He is not familiar with the Qing family, but he has heard Qing Dai say many things about the old people, and knows that this is Qing Dai's closest person, even better than her father and mother.

It was precisely because he knew this that he hurried over, just to accompany her and carry through this most difficult time.

"You've taken care of everything, right?"

Qing Dai nodded.

"Shall I send you back?"

"No, I ...... I can call the assistant and ask the assistant to come over. She was hoarse, polite.

Mu Jinbai wrinkled his eyebrows, and suddenly became a little angry: "Don't you treat me as a friend anymore?" ”

"I'm ......," Qing Dai pursed her lips, "that...... Let's go! ”

A man and a woman descended the mountain side by side, each silent with their own thoughts.

The assistant and the driver were still smoking and chatting in the parking lot on the mountain, and they saw Mu Jinbai coming down with a girl from a distance, and the two looked at each other, busy extinguishing their cigarettes.

The driver got into the car, and Su Yinan opened the rear door.

There is a million points of curiosity in my heart, and I don't dare to ask a word.

Except for Jun Qing, this is the first time I have seen Mu Jinbai and the young girl appear alone, even if they are drivers and assistants.

I didn't participate in the event, so I hurried to the cemetery for lunch, one person went up, and two people came down.

There is adultery, there is definitely adultery!

The driver started the car, and Qing Dai called out a name—the name of a hotel.

She is different from others, she likes to stay in hotels.

Qingdai likes the feeling of wandering that she has to leave at any time, because she doesn't have a home, she won't go to the luxury of feeling at home, and occasionally when she returns to her mother's house, she won't be unaccustomed to it, so she will live in a hotel.

So, no matter where she goes, she stays in a hotel.

Never buy a house, never live in a fixed place.

Mu Jinbai looked sideways, and his gaze fell on the girl's haggard face.

has been taking care of her grandfather, and she has barely closed her eyes in the past few days, and there is a clear pale blue circle under her eyes.

"Go back to me." Mu Jinbai coughed lightly, "I mean...... You can take a good rest at my place. ”

Sideways eyes of Qing Dai.

She originally wanted to say that there is no need to be so troublesome, she is fine, she is fine, she can take care of herself by herself, but she really can't have an assistant.

But......

Turn your face to meet his eyes.

The man's eyes were deep, and he seemed to be able to see through all her disguises at a glance.

The look in his eyes clearly said:

Qingdai, don't pretend!

Wrapped in the black coat on her body, Qing Dai relaxed her body and leaned back on the chair, staring at the road scene flashing outside the window, and did not say anything more.
