Chapter 26: Sleepless Tonight
On this night, Qi Xiaoyang didn't practice the "Spirit Refining Technique" for the first time because he couldn't calm down at all. The USB flash drive with a beautiful blue light was plugged into the computer, but the mouse couldn't open the button several times because of the trembling of the hand, and there was a strong expectation in fear, which made the young man's heart like the rising Qingyang River, surging waves. He repeatedly guessed all kinds of possibilities, and finally determined that the USB flash drive was the most likely to be a birthday song or something, so he slowly calmed down and clicked on the folder of the USB flash drive.
This is a video made by Jiang Mengyao herself, because the location where the picture was filmed, Qi Xiaoyang recognized it as the places along the Qingyang River, and Jiang Mengyao played together on her birthday before the Spring Festival. With the soft music, a close-up of two red pomegranate flowers appears on the screen, and the lines of words are enlarged from the heart of the flower to the screen one by one in different rotation ways - giving you a petal of heart incense. With Jiang Mengyao's recitation, the corresponding verses were also typed on the screen:
I once remembered the fragrance of pomegranates
The little sparrow spreads its tender wings
Leave a seed
Gently fall into the lonely atrium
The golden wind rises
Autumn water
Sprout in the fluttering snow
Butterflies grow up
The multicolor of the heart
Weave the garments of my dreams
Pomegranate blooms again
I'm going to a strange place
Dressed in the garments of dreams
In pursuit of a long yearning
People will be far away
God is wounded
I'll give you a heart incense
Remember what I look like
If the heart is not far away
Qianli Chanjuan stared together
Like a clear sweet spring injected into his heart, when the recitation of this soundtrack poem ended, Qi Xiaoyang's heart was filled with happiness! This poem was not borrowed from someone else as a birthday gift, but Jiang Mengyao wrote it especially for him. The four seasons of summer, autumn, winter and spring contained in the poem are the year when he and Jiang Mengyao really came into contact with each other, although there is no direct expression in the whole text, how could Qi Xiaoyang not be able to read it? He played this heavenly voice repeatedly, sleepless, intoxicated with the great happiness brought by this most special birthday gift
On this moonlit starry night, two other people also suffered from insomnia.
Xia Tiantian sat on the stone bench on the roof of his house, looking at the faint lights of the small building in the education and entertainment city outside Li Xu, thinking about his thoughts blankly. She also achieved good results in this college entrance examination, barely exceeding last year's first line, exceeding the original expectations, and should be able to go to a more ideal university, but this joy was quickly diluted by the sadness hidden in her heart. Over the past year, Tian Tian found that his feelings for Qi Xiaoyang had inadvertently changed, and now he was no longer a childhood sweetheart's sister and brother relationship, because if he couldn't see anyone for a day, his heart would be empty, and he couldn't help but think about him, Tian Tian understood very clearly that he was in love with this younger brother who was more than two years younger. She is very conflicted now, she is going to college soon, should she continue to bury this relationship in her heart, or let him know before leaving Jiuxiang? Originally, some time ago, I thought that he was still young, and it was not too late to talk slowly in the future, but she could read Jiang Mengyao's eyes when she looked at Qi Xiaoyang, and if she continued to hide her thoughts, she might never have a chance. She knew that Jiang Mengyao was far better than herself, and she thought intellectually that she should quit, but she couldn't let go of her feelings, and she didn't know what to do.
The birthday gift prepared today, in addition to the craft eagle that has been placed on Qi Xiaoyang's desk, there is also the pair of cartoon ceramic villains in his hand. Tian Tian has no money to buy good things, the meaning of the eagle is the future of the little sparrow, and the meaning of the couple villain in her hand is too obvious, she retreated on the spot, and finally did not give away the one that belongs to Qi Xiaoyang
Another person who suffers from insomnia is Mu Shenglan, Jiang Mengyao's mother. The daughter of the secretary of the provincial party committee, two years ago, because she found out that her husband Jiang Wuyuan was secretly raising a little lover outside, she took her daughter back to her hometown Jiuxiang in a fit of anger, but she did not divorce Jiang Wuyuan, the reason is very complicated. Mu Jiang and the two were college classmates, Jiang Wuyuan chased her at that time, her father Mu Xiangnong was already the mayor of a prefecture-level city, and Jiang Wuyuan was just a poor boy from a remote mountainous area, but his handsomeness, diligence and outstanding talent impressed the princess of the Mu family who looked up to him in appearance and family background, and he actually resisted the opposition of the whole family and forced his parents to recognize Jiang Wuyuan with death, but he didn't expect this poor boy to betray her ruthlessly after becoming a real estate tycoon later! Although she is well aware of the current social reality, successful people are just appetizers outside, but it should never happen to her husband who has given all her feelings! She is angry, she chose to leave willfully as she did back then, but such a heavy feeling is difficult to let go, and the special family does not allow her to take the step of divorce, and she does not even dare to tell her parents the real reason for the conflict. In the past three years since returning to Jiuxiang, Jiang Wuyuan has come to Jiuxiang every three or five times, and has continued to repent and reassure his daughter behind his back, and the ice in Mu Shenglan's heart has begun to melt slowly, ready to wait for his daughter to go to college and go back to Wulian's home.
Mother's heart is sensitive, in the past half a year, Jiang Mengyao's personality has slowly changed from introverted and arrogant to cheerful and casual, Mu Shenglan in her eyes knows that her daughter has just started to fall in love, she didn't care too much at first, her daughter is almost twenty years old, she has begun dating Jiang Wuyuan at this age, Jiang Mengyao is very late; I thought that this hazy first love would disappear as she went to college, but she didn't expect that after the college entrance examination, an unintentional discovery changed her opinion. In those days, Mu Shenglan saw that her daughter was suddenly obsessed with the computer, and she was busy working on the screen all day long, out of concern about the danger of the Internet, she took the opportunity of her daughter to go out and checked the Internet records, most of which were about MV production, and she was already relieved, and the poem shocked her, where is this still a hazy first love, it is clearly a deep affection!
Mu Shenglan did not mean to blame her daughter, but out of a mother's concern, she was curious about what the "little sparrow" that could only make her proud daughter feel like her. Quietly and lightly checked, the target quickly locked on Qi Xiaoyang, because Jiang Mengyao's communication and whereabouts in Jiuxiang are very simple and clear, and she can go to the street to help distribute leaflets in the scorching heat, there is only one explanation: the power of love. Hearing the name Qi Xiaoyang, Mu Shenglan was relieved, this provincial champion is now a famous figure in Jiuxiang, far from being excellent two words can be described, it is normal for a daughter to be tempted by such a person. This morning, Mu Shenglan took a leave of absence from the unit and quietly went to the opening ceremony of the Potential Education and Entertainment City to see for himself what this little sparrow looked like. When she saw the boy standing on the stage, she was very handsome and chic, and the first feeling was--This is too small! When she left, Mu Shenglan was in a very complicated mood, and she unconsciously compared Qi Xiaoyang with Jiang Wuyuan back then, this thin little guy did not have that handsome and chic at all, how could this childish hairy child win the heart of his daughter? Other worries also came one after another, where did this poor boy with no background come from so much money to open such a big company? Is it appropriate for his daughter to be two and a half years older than him? And Jiang Wuyuan and his parents, will they repeat the story of their past? Although this kid is now a little accomplished, in their eyes, he is really a little sparrow
At the breakfast table, Mu Shenglan casually asked her daughter who was stuffing eggs into her small mouth: "Yaoyao, do you still want to help your classmates today?"
"yes, he just opened yesterday, and he's still messing around, and he's in need of people. Jiang Mengyao replied vaguely.
"Is it necessary for your classmates to help with such care? You are not a simple classmate, are you?" Mu Shenglan said casually.
"Yes, he is not simple" Seeing Mu Shenglan's expression, Jiang Mengyao suddenly came back to her senses: "Mom, what are you talking about! Xiaoyang and I are classmates." ”
Seeing that her daughter's face was as red as the morning glow outside the window, Mu Shenglan hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Okay, okay, it's a classmate, what are you blushing for, hehe, when will you invite your good classmate to play at home?"
"What?" Jiang Mengyao's eyes widened in surprise: "Why do you want to invite Xiaoyang to our house?"
"What are you nervous about, aren't you just inviting a classmate to play at home, eat quickly, it's your business to please or not, I won't force you." Mu Shenglan smiled meaningfully, packed up the empty bowl and went to the kitchen, leaving Jiang Mengyao holding the empty cup in a daze.
Could it be that my mother found out something? Jiang Mengyao said in her heart, no, she and Qi Xiaoyang only vaguely found out that meaning last night, this mother is not a fairy, most likely because she knows Qi Xiaoyang's fame, why do you call herself! Slightly relieved, she took her handbag and shouted: "Mom, I'm leaving, help me wash the bowl, thank you!"
Qi Xiaoyang, who hadn't slept all night, seemed to be in better spirits today than yesterday, and as soon as he finished arranging work at work, he began to check around to make up for the rectification of those loopholes yesterday.
"Little boss!" Li Youzhi, the security captain at the gate, stopped him, and he didn't know who started calling him that first, and now the little boss has become the unified name of Qi Xiaoyang for more than 100 employees in the company. "There's something I don't know if I should tell you. The sturdy and dignified Li Youzhi's expression was a little unnatural.
"Brother Li, don't you soldiers pay attention to uprightness? What do you have to say directly?" Qi Xiaoyang has a very good image of this thirty-year-old veteran, and he never cares about suffering or losing money after applying for the job.
"Okay, then I'll just say it, judging from yesterday's situation, I think Cheng Chen, the city manager, is a bit incompetent, and a lot of trouble is caused by improper command. Li Youzhi suppressed his voice, but his tone was not ambiguous.
Qi Xiaoyang nodded and said: "I found out about this problem last night, you are right, I will make adjustments, today the gate is under your full command, Cheng Chen will tell him." ”
"Yes!" Li Youzhi's habit of being a soldier was still there, and he came to stand upright, causing Jiang Mengyao, who was quietly standing behind Qi Xiaoyang, to smile.
"You, here, let's go in first!" Qi Xiaoyang was embarrassed, he didn't know how to call someone for a while, and it was not appropriate to call him by name or Xueba's sister like before, but the two of them are now
"Xiaoyang," the only employee in the company who didn't call the little boss was Cheng Chen, trotted over, and said with a sincere smile: "I can't do this city affairs manager, don't blame me for picking on it for only one day, I'm really not that piece of material, you just let me just take care of the catering part, so as not to lose face by mistake." ”
Qi Xiaoyang was worried about how to say this so as not to hurt his feelings, and when he saw Cheng Chen take the initiative to say this, he couldn't help but be happy: "Don't talk about you, even I, the general manager, only know the gap as soon as I go to the battlefield, and I have to quickly find someone to make way for a position."
The hectic day began again in such an atmosphere, there were still so many people, and they were still so busy, but the chaos was not so chaotic, and such days passed quickly for a week.
