Chapter 81: The Past
Zhou Jining didn't give Jian Yi a chance to ask, looked at her sideways, and asked, "Is it cold?" At this point, the topic was stopped, and Jian Yi did not ask again.
The two continued to walk slowly, and Jian Yi remembered that he was still enjoying the shade in the yard with his grandfather at this time last year, and his eyes involuntarily turned red.
Zhou Jining was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Jian Yi, do you plan to go abroad for further study?" ”
Jian Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and Zhou Jining continued casually: "If you come back from studying abroad for a few years, your work will be much smoother." ”
Jian Yi came back to his senses, looked into the distance through the deep night, shook his head, and said, "I never thought of going abroad. And with grandma, how can I go? ”
Zhou Jining suddenly stopped, stared at her, and said, "If the old lady is properly accommodated, are you willing to go abroad?" ”
Jian Yi looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he meant.
Zhou Jining looked away, smiled slightly, and said, "You used to love to study when you were in school, and it's a pity that you didn't continue your studies." ”
Jian Yi also smiled, there was some emptiness in his eyes, and said: "At that time, my grandfather also asked me to continue my graduate studies, and I think it's good to come out to work early." ”
Zhou Jining nodded and did not speak again.
He sent Jian Yi back to Zhou Qi's residence, did not go upstairs, and watched her enter the elevator before leaving. He went back to the bar to pick up the car, but he didn't leave immediately, called to find a substitute driver, and returned to the bar to continue drinking.
He drank a lot of wine, and although he drank a lot of wine, his eyes were still clear. Sitting in the car, he rested his hands on his forehead, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Somehow, he suddenly remembered the club meeting in college. They won the prize, and the group was very excited. That night I drank and sang, and I made a lot of noise. In the end, they all got drunk. He was one of the more sober, opened the room, and sent the person to the hotel next door.
When he finally left the private room, he found that there was a person curled up in the corner of the sofa. He reached out and pressed his eyebrows and stepped forward to check.
Lying on the sofa was Song Jianyi, she was already drunk and confused. He woke her up, but she still recognized him and called out to her brother.
Zhou Jining snorted, looked at the time and asked, "Everyone is in the hotel, do you want to send you over or go home?" He asked patiently.
After asking for a long time, he didn't wait for Jian Yi's reaction, he lowered his head, only to find that she was looking at him with a pair of dark and misty eyes, and said, "Senior brother, you are so good-looking." I seem to like you a little bit. ”
She looked stupid and stupid, her face was red under alcohol, and she had a bit of girlish coquettishness.
Zhou Jining thought that he had always been cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and he couldn't help but laugh in the face of the girl's drunken confession, he remembered that she had always kept a rejection with him and was very polite.
He couldn't help but tease her, saying, "But I already have a girlfriend." ”
He thought that Jian Yi would be devastated, but he didn't. She hung her head and fell asleep again.
Zhou Jining was a little amused and sent her to the hotel next door.
He thought the meeting would be awkward in the future, but he didn't. She seemed to have forgotten the drunken confession that night, and it was still the same as before. But in his behavior, he has become more polite and measured than before.
At that time, few people knew about his relationship with Yu Yuwei, and later he did not prevent this kind of thing from happening, so he brought her to the club and introduced her to everyone.
Zhou Jining opened his eyes and took out a cigarette to light it. The street lights peeked into the car, and his deep silhouette was hidden in the shadows, a little sparse and a little bleak.
The relationship between him and Yu Yuwei had a rift before going abroad. In fact, probably knowing that he was born in the Zhou family, the relationship between the two of them is no longer the same. She suffers from gains and losses, and has low self-esteem because of the gap between her families. She has always been self-reliant and self-reliant, so she is even more energetic.
He watched her tired, and thoughtfully arranged everything for her. But she was ridiculed by her, saying that she did not have the life of a princess, would not have a princess illness, and she would arrange everything by herself, and was unwilling to accept anyone's alms.
So the two drifted apart, both of them were exhausted in this relationship, and finally Yu Yuwei proposed to break up. She said she was too tired to continue and wanted to catch her breath.
He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and agreed to break up.
He was depressed for a while, broke up with his girlfriend, and his life alone in a foreign land was doubly difficult. He had returned to China twice during the holidays, went to college once, and met Song Jianyi while waiting for friends on the side of the road. She was walking with Professor Yan, who was notoriously stern, and she was a little timid, like a rabbit. She doesn't seem to have changed at all, with a slightly baby fat face with the innocence and coquettishness of a girl.
Zhou Jining finished smoking a cigarette, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and looked out of the car window motionlessly.
The second time he returned to China to see Jian Yi, it was a family banquet at home, and he ate outside. She was also with a few classmates, and he wanted to go over to say hello, but because of the presence of his elders, he didn't go in the end.
When I went to the bathroom later, I happened to meet them coming out after eating, and a few people were talking in the lobby. She stood on the sidelines, a quiet smile on her face. It's different from the last time we met.
Before he could go over to say hello, there were footsteps approaching behind him, and Zhou Qi's voice rang out, saying, "What is the eldest brother looking at?" ”
His tone was lazy, looking over the line of sight.
He withdrew his gaze, said nothing, and walked to the bathroom.
Zhou Qi and Jian Yi were together, the purpose was not so simple, he knew it from the beginning. He thought he could stop it, but he didn't expect that things would go step by step to a point beyond his control.
Zhou Qi still didn't come back from a business trip, Jian Yi returned home, didn't turn on the lights, walked straight to the sofa, curled up in a small ball.
She had woken up a lot from her wine, and she sat for a long time before she got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Time flies so fast that it's the end of August. The old lady also returned home from the mountain, and she couldn't help but see things and think about people, and together with Aunt Qing, she put away all the things that the old man used during his lifetime.
The old lady's birthday was also at the end of the month, Jian Yi hesitated for a long time, but still called Zhou Qi and asked him to come over to celebrate the old lady's birthday on the old lady's birthday.
She wasn't ready to ask for anyone else.
She moved back to the old house when the old lady returned.
Zhou Qi did not refuse, and responded.
The old lady was satisfied with her arrangement, and asked Aunt Qing to go grocery shopping early. Because the old man's funeral was all handled by Zhou Qi, she always felt a little guilty in her heart. Before he and Jian Yi got married, their family caused him trouble first.
