When he was on a business trip, he went to the courtyard of Aunt Qing's house once, and saw the old lady and Aunt Qing from a distance. He didn't go forward, only smoked silently in the car, and didn't leave until the old lady and Aunt Qing were far away. He had no face to meet them.

This year's New Year is also tasteless, I don't know if Zhou Qi wants to spend the New Year alone or what to do. The atmosphere has been depressing in recent months. Although Zhou Qi is still the same as usual, he has significantly more time in the company. He travels a lot, and often only sleeps four hours a day.

At the wine table, he was still talking and laughing, and nothing seemed to have changed. But only Ah Jin, who often followed him, knew that he was becoming more and more indifferent and moody. It's also more cold-blooded to deal with things. All those below trembled before him. He didn't even dare to make any decision beyond him, no matter how small.

He hesitated for a long time, but finally asked if he wanted to prepare New Year's goods. Zhou Qi lightly asked him not to prepare anything, and put all the people under him, including his aunt, on vacation. He didn't plan to celebrate the New Year.

But on the night before the New Year, Zhou Jining called and asked him to go to the old house for the New Year. This time, Zhou Zhengtao's family will come over. This is also the first regimental year after the old man's death, and he hopes that he will be able to arrive.

Zhou Qi was pinching a little past on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he did not get out of the car after arriving at the old mansion, and did it in the car until the mobile phone rang.

The huge living room was already lively, there were programs on the TV, and Zhou Jining was chatting with Zhou Zhengtao. And the hostesses of both families are busy in the kitchen.

Zhou Qi hasn't come back for too long, and he felt a little strange when he came in. Probably afraid that there would be another dispute between their father and son, Zhou Jining tried to ease the atmosphere. But in fact, this year has been very happy. As the old father grew older, he felt powerless, lowered his noble head, and began to deliberately please his son, who had not been treated well since he was a child. I only hope that one day, he can help his youngest son regardless of his past suspicions.

Zhou Qi was indifferent throughout the whole process, and the more lively the occasion, the more lonely he felt. He is already in a high position beyond the reach of many people, but like a rootless duckweed, he can't find a place to land. Even when the work schedule is full, he still feels empty. He was surrounded by all kinds of women, but there was not a face that was not boring.

probably saw that he was no longer-for-tat with himself, and after the meal, Zhou Zhengtao mentioned the daughter of the world friend, intending to let Zhou Qi go on a blind date.

Zhou Qi was noncommittal, and left after the New Year. Jian Yi has only been away for a few months, but it is as long as if she has spent her whole life.

He didn't go home, drove aimlessly around the streets, and eventually found a bar and got drunk. Then I took a taxi to the old house alone.

A series of houses are brightly lit, except for Song House and Peng House, which are pitch black. He hadn't come back since Jian Yi left, and when he opened the door and entered, the flowers and plants in the yard had long since withered, and thick moss had grown in the corners.

The room had not changed in the same way as before, except that it was covered with dust. He stood quietly in the living room for a while, then went to her room.

She walked in a hurry and took nothing with her. Her clothes were still hanging in the closet, and there were still books she had read on the table, and bookmarks were lying quietly in the center.

Zhou Qi dusted off his dust and lay down on the bed. There seemed to be the fragrance of her hair still on the pillow, and he slowly closed his eyes. She's really ruthless, and she doesn't leave a trace at all. He thought that she couldn't let go of the old lady and would come back during the Chinese New Year. But no, presumably, he had tired her so much that she wanted to give up together.

Spring goes to autumn, time flies very fast, and two years pass in a flash. At the end of another year, Zhou Qi received a call from Peng Yu before he got off work, saying that he was near his company and wanted to have dinner with him.

In the summer, she fell seriously ill and almost lost her life. Although Zhou Qi didn't show up much, he arranged the best doctors in the best hospital and found nurses to take care of him carefully.

This serious illness made her seem to be a different person, no longer as bitter and mean as before. As if to make up for the mother's love he never paid, he began to take care of Zhou Qi. often cooks meals and delivers them to the company in person, and when he learns that he is social, he will tell Ah Jin to let people cook him sobering soup. Knowing that he is not lacking, he will still give him an umbrella when it rains heavily.

She probably thought that all the mistakes could be remedied. But Yu Zhou got up and said that the belated maternal love is like candy given at an inappropriate age, although it is still very sweet, but it has passed the expiration date.

Probably because of her illness, he didn't refuse, but he didn't accept it either. The bento boxes she sent were often given to the people around her, and she told him that the people around him would only respond, but it would not change Zhou Qi's life.

In the evening, he had no entertainment, so he went to the appointment. Peng Yu had already arrived when he arrived, but she was not alone, and a young woman was sitting next to her. The woman's eyebrows were clear, she sat quietly and quietly, and when she saw him, she was not shy, and greeted him generously.

It was obviously two different faces, but for some reason, he felt like that person when he saw her. He didn't know how hard his mother was, but he didn't buy it, and he didn't even eat, and he sat for a while before getting up and leaving.

As soon as he came out of the restaurant, Peng Yu chased him out and stopped him.

He stopped, turned to look at his mother, who was angry and anxious, and said lightly: "My willingness to let you appear in my life does not mean that you can control my life. ”

His words were cold and heartless. Peng Yu couldn't feel her son's coldness, but everything was her own fault. He has always been indifferent, this indifference made her at a loss, she shook her hand nervously, and said: "Ah Qi, my mother has no intention of interfering in your life, you are not young, and it is time to get married and have children." ”

Yes, he should have gotten married and had children a long time ago. Zhou Jining's daughters are already babbling. There is also Ah Jin, who has already held a wedding in the summer and will become a father next summer. All the people around him who should have started a family have already started a family, but he is alone. Put it on any parent, it's in a hurry. That's why Peng Yu found such a girl.

Zhou Qi was not moved, and left without even waiting for her words to finish. Leaving Peng Yu standing in place with his body bent.

He came by car, looked for a car in the parking lot, and did not start the car immediately after getting into the car, but took a cigarette from the cigarette case, picked up the lighter placed aside and lit it, took a puff and slowly exhaled the smoke.
