Jian Yi accompanied the old man to lunch, and the old man's appetite was not good, but he asked Jian Yi to eat more.

After lunch, knowing that the old man was going to take a lunch break, Jian Yi was about to leave, so the old man took out a card, pushed it in front of her, and said kindly: "Ah Yi, you take this." There's enough money to cover your and grandma's daily needs. ”

Jian Yi was taken aback, shook his head, and said, "You don't have to worry about our daily needs, I have them." I can't take this. ”

She pushed the card back.

The old man pushed it in front of her again and said, "You can take it, you don't have to have any psychological burden." This money was not given to you because of Ah Qi, but a little bit of my heart. So you have to keep it. After a slight pause, he sighed and continued, "I heard that your father ......."

There was a pause at this point, followed by a sigh. He knew about the Song family during his old friend's funeral, including Song Weihe's later sale of the house.

This money is said to be for Jian Yi and her grandmother's daily needs, but in fact, she wants to pay off Song Weihe's debts outside and keep the house left by his old friend.

When Jian Yi heard this, how could he not understand. She didn't know what she was feeling in her heart, and said, "Grandpa Zhou, you don't have to worry about my father's affairs. After a slight pause, she continued: "Grandpa said that in the future, his own path should be taken by himself." ”

She smiled bitterly, and then said: "He has gnawed on the old man for most of his life, and it is time for him to take responsibility for his own actions." ”

Old Man Zhou didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he slowly asked, "What are you going to do over there?" ”

Jian Yi didn't know if his old man had checked this matter himself, or if Zhou Qi had told him. But she didn't ask, and said softly: "You don't have to worry about this, the house is in the name of grandma, and he can't help it." ”

The old man sighed again and said, "You are as stubborn as your grandfather." In short, even if you have nothing to do with Zhou Qi, in Grandpa Zhou's place, you are just like your granddaughter. Don't be polite to me. ”

He was worried that Jian Yi would be burdened, so he refused to accept the money. After a pause, he continued: "Don't treat Grandpa Zhou as an outsider, if there is something, tell me." I won't be able to protect you for a few days. ”

His tone was gloomy. At this age, death doesn't know if it's a matter of today or tomorrow.

Jian Yi felt sad in his heart, and said softly: "You will definitely live a long life." ”

The old man waved his hand, unwilling to let the atmosphere be depressed, and said with a kind smile: "Don't coax grandpa." He looked at Jian Yi when he said this, and suddenly asked, "How are you and Zhou Qi getting along?" ”

Jian Yi didn't expect him to suddenly ask about this, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "It's all good." ”

The old man was relieved and said, "This kid has a bad temper, but his character is not bad. If he dares to bully you, just tell me, and I'll clean him up. ”

Jian Yi agreed, and talked with the old man for a while, and the old man arranged for the driver to take her home.

Jian Yi had insomnia at night, and wanted to call Tong Yuan to ask him to come out for a drink, but when he called him, he realized that he was socializing, and he couldn't get out for a while, so he went to the bar alone.

She went to a bar near Zhou Qi's house, which was deserted and deserted.

As if only drinking could stop the hollow pain in her heart, she drank cup after cup. I don't know how long she drank, but someone sat down next to her. She didn't pay attention at first, but when she saw that the man was drinking silently, she turned her head sideways.

The person sitting next to her turned out to be Zhou Jining, who was still wearing a formal suit, and the buttons on the cuffs and neckline had been unbuttoned, which was a little less cold than usual.

Jian Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then squeezed out a smile and asked, "Senior brother, why did you come here?" ”

Zhou Jining held the wine glass, and his slender fingers were distinct. Jian Yi had already drunk a lot of wine, her cheeks were crimson, and her eyes were a little confused. It looks very fragile, like a porcelain doll that shatters when touched.

He raised his hand, touched her head gently, and said, "I met Tong Yuan during the entertainment and heard you call him, so I came over." ”

Jian Yi looked away and said softly, "I won't get drunk." ”

Zhou Jining was noncommittal, took a sip of the wine in the wine glass, and said, "Drink it if you want, I will send you home." ”

Jian Yi was silent and did not speak.

For the rest of the day, neither of them spoke. Jian Yi did speak and counted, he was not drunk, and when he felt dizzy, he stood up and said to Zhou Jining: "Senior brother, I'm going back." As she spoke, she called the bartender to pay the bill.

Zhou Jining paid first, stood up, and said, "I'll send you back." ”

Jian Yi reluctantly squeezed out a smile, pretended to look at him generously, and said, "I live in Zhou Qi's residence, not far from here. ”

She thought Zhou Jining would be surprised, but no, he nodded slightly and said, "I know." ”

This time it was Jian Yi's turn and he didn't know what to say.

The two went all the way out of the bar, and Zhou Jining was going to drive. But Jian Yi didn't get into the car, saying that it was not far away, and she just walked back.

Zhou Jining didn't insist, and accompanied her all the way slowly. It was early in the morning, and the dim street lamps stretched the shadows of the two of them long.

Jian Yi walked for a while, looked at the street lamp not far away, and said softly: "I really miss my life in college. "It was carefree, she had almost no worries. The only small troubles are insignificant.

Zhou Jining was silent and did not speak.

With the strength of the wine, Jian Yi asked what he had always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, "Senior brother, why did you break up with Senior Sister?" ”

This question bothered her for a long time, when the two of them were at school and were a couple that everyone envied. No one had even seen the two of them fight. She originally thought that the two of them would get married and form a happy family. Who knew that after returning from abroad, the two broke up.

Zhou Jining didn't answer her words, took out a cigarette and smoked it. He didn't speak for a long time, and when Jian Yi thought he wouldn't answer, he said lightly: "The personality is not compatible." ”

They have been talking for so many years, how can they have incompatible personalities after going abroad?
