"Have you ever thought about breaking up?"

After saying this, Cheng Yubai found that the peace of this day and night was as cruel as the calm before Li Ke's death.

There is no too clear beginning, she borrowed wine and sold crazy kisses, she said on her own that she didn't want to end, and now she doesn't ask what she means and has the idea of ending again, and he clearly said that he wanted to confess, and now he is the one who is hiding it.

He knew that she had something to hide from herself, although he didn't know anything, but seeing her running back and forth with a desperate posture, he must have something to do with the cooperation of the original star.

She has always been independent and needs a career, and he doesn't want her to work too hard.

"Don't feel embarrassed, the reality is like this, if I don't give up reform for the rest of my life, then I may be in the whirlpool for the rest of my life, how tired should I be with someone like me? Maybe think about it rationally, it's better for you to be separated. ”

He lowered his hand before he dared to look at her.

"Do you want to break up?"

Xu Qing didn't say a word, got up and walked out. Cheng Yubai hurriedly went to pull her, she shook off his hand, turned around and scolded: "Cheng Yubai, you are a bastard." ”

After taking a few steps forward, she was still dissatisfied and spoke again, "Five years ago, I gave up the opportunity to go abroad for exchanges, and you didn't do anything. This time I'm gone, there won't be a second five years, you think clearly before you make a decision, don't let me look down on you. ”

"I ......"

Xu Qing didn't listen anymore and walked out quickly. She walked through the alley to the intersection, bought a few pastries along the street, and went back to the port to take a taxi. waited for the car, but still didn't see Cheng Yubai's figure.

She couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or something else, she was shrouded in irritability, and she was a little worried when she thought of Wu Yi's words. But Cheng Yubai's temperament, if he didn't figure it out by himself, who could save him? It was useless to persuade her, and it made her sad in vain, thinking about it this way, she didn't struggle on the way back.

Back in Jingdezhen, Xu Qing first gave Yuan Xing a video call. Yuan Xing saw the progress of the Zhangnamdong Concert Hall, made sure that she did not delay her work for personal matters, and generously forgave her, and then asked, "How to arrange the follow-up work?" ”

Xu Qing didn't speak.

Yuan Xing grabbed his hair: "I know, I try to arrange less business trips and longer business trips, and if you can video chat, you can video chat, but you also take care of your mood, look at your face, I don't know what I think is wrong with you." ”

Xu Qing don't look over.

"Eh, I really got it right? Didn't you break up? ”

"Is there still work to say? No I hung up. ”

"Okay, okay, then you calm down for a while, if you want to talk to someone, I have a lot of time. So what, if I break up, can I be the first to sign up to be my next boyfriend? ”

"No points, no no, goodbye."

Xu Qing hung up the phone, went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, and turned around to see Xu Zhiliu leaning against the door, looking at him with interest. She swallowed and said, "I really haven't scored, right?" ”

Xu Zhiliu sighed: "Modern people are so bold. ”

There was a bit of teasing in his tone, Xu Qing was helpless, walked back to the workbench and continued to draw.

Xu Zhiliu followed, seeing that she was still adjusting the layout details of the Zhangnandong Concert Hall, she pointed to a few places to say her thoughts, the two discussed for a while, Xu Zhiliu saw her bury her head again, she didn't know how late she was going to be busy, and hesitated for a moment and asked, "When will he come back?" ”

Xu Qing brushed up.

The young man's smile was fleeting, and it had long been covered with a faint haze.

Li Ke suddenly had an accident, not only Cheng Yubai, but Xu Qing was also disrupted, can't he still urge Cheng Yubai to repair the spring and summer bowls at this time, right? She discussed with Xu Zhiliu and waited a little longer. Xu Zhiliu guessed her thoughts, and was no longer reluctant, but often looked at her with a slightly sad gaze that wanted to stop talking.

How can such a melancholy not make people soften?

"Can you wait a little longer? When he returned, I immediately gave him the porcelain tiles. ”

"Okay."

Xu Qing stayed at home for another two days, and he was a little surprised when he received a call from Xu Xiaohe. Wanhe Media had civil strife, Xu Xiaohe was busy grabbing family property and shares with Xu Zhengnan for a while, and the fight was dark, and he didn't think that he would have spare time to kill her family to chat.

Xu Qing was short of money now, and he couldn't afford to entertain the prince, so he blocked him at the door and asked what he was doing.

Xu Xiaohe puffed out his face and said angrily: "That's how you treat your fellow Daoists?" Didn't you say that you want to do it together? ”

"Daoyou has not been feeling well these days, is it okay to talk about it another day?"

"Don't worry, this Taoist friend will win a phased victory for the time being, grab a lot of money, and won't kill you."

When Xu Qing heard this, he let go of the crack in the door and invited him in. Xu Xiaohe saw that she had no fighting spirit, and wondered: "What's the matter?" The sky fell? Those who don't know think you're dead, Master. ”

"Shut up."

"Okay, then I'll take back what I just said, what the hell happened to you?"

Xu Qing didn't know what to say, Cheng Yubai had no news for a few days, and he looked quite depraved. The chief construction officer didn't say anything, and he didn't know when he would be able to cheer up, how could they do a big deal?

Besides, he's going to break up.

Xu Qing took a long breath, he really didn't have the energy to deal with the energetic Xu Xiaohe, so he asked, "What is the matter with you?" ”

"I have a message."

Xu Xiaohe sold Guanzi as usual, Xu Qing didn't pick up the stubble as usual, he had to grit his teeth and say to himself: "Although that matter was not publicized, everyone above knew that the circumstances were serious and sensitive in nature, and the other party was still Cheng Yubai's master." These days, Cheng Yubai returned to his hometown to deal with the funeral, and these people were not idle, and they met together for three days to discuss how to deal with the aftermath. I heard that they are planning to hold a major accident briefing after Cheng Yubai returns. What to say, the accountability is almost the same, the leader is Zhang Shuoyang, Gao Wen and they will also participate. ”

It is equivalent to another tripartite talks.

"This time, the participants are more miscellaneous, investors, the Propaganda Department, and the reform team are all coming, and it is estimated that they will have to take Cheng Yubai."

Xu Xiaohe waited for a while after speaking, and saw that Xu Qing's reaction was flat, so he hurriedly jumped up: "No, your boyfriend is going to be clicked, why aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”

"Phew, you've just been clicked, is it useful to say I'm in a hurry?"

She wasn't in a hurry, she didn't react for a while, and she was still figuring out the relationship between the characters, Xu Xiaohe's phone rang. The assistant reminded him that time was running out, Xu Xiaohe looked at his watch and said to come down immediately.

"I'm going back to the company to tear up with the old man, so I won't talk about it straight around the corner." The crown prince coughed lightly and straightened his face, "You must have heard about my family, right?" I don't know what cake Zhang Shuoyang drew for the old man, he is ready to increase his investment in No. 9 Land, and he has been quietly selling assets these days. ”

It includes the old house where Xu Hong lived before his death, Xu Zhengnan hid this matter tightly, Xu Xiaohe didn't notice it at all, and he didn't hear the news until he signed the transfer, it was too late.

He is mainly to blame for this, he was dizzy by the old man's illness, and he even sprouted a little father-son relationship, who thought that the old man was just making a show, using that dry blood and family affection to paralyze him.

In retrospect, Xu Xiaohe felt ridiculous and pitiful.

"I guess the old man and I can't get along peacefully, if the Baicai reform is going to continue, I must get the ownership of the ninth land." He didn't mean to joke at all, and his tone was very serious, "The accountability meeting is just a few days away, time is running out, I think of a way, maybe I can turn the tide." ”

Xu Qing unconsciously sat up straight: "You say." ”

"Perhaps, you can use Li Ke's death to make a fuss."

"Impossible, Cheng Yubai won't agree."

"That's why I came to you today, I know he won't agree, but in this situation, only by letting public opinion fall to us can we put upward pressure and keep everything at present. You don't want Cheng Yubai to be marginalized or even kicked out of the reform team, right? ”

Long after Xu Xiaohe left, Xu Qing was still pondering his last words, what is marginalization? What does it mean to kick out of the reform group? He won't say these things for no reason, he must have received some news, could it be that the Propaganda Department has also decided to give up Cheng Yubai and settle the matter?

The more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, and she called Xu Xiaohe, but she didn't get through. She called Gao Wen again, but Gao Wen answered, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she said: "I've been a little busy lately, and I promised you that the dinner is going to be missed again, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll be free tomorrow, and then I will make amends carefully." Oops, do you remember the cups we talked about on the day of the National Exhibition? Later, I bought a private collection for myself, but it was a baby, but it turned out that the aunt at home accidentally broke it while cleaning a few days ago. ”

Before Xu Qing could speak, Gao Wen said again: "I have found several masters who have said that it is difficult, it seems that this time it is really impossible to repair it, and I have to think of other ways." I won't tell you yet, I'll make an appointment when I'm free. ”

After Xu Qing hung up the phone, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Xu Zhiliu was close, heard the content of the call, and reminded her: "The cup we talked about on the day of the National Exhibition should be a chicken bowl cup, right?" Gao Wen should be really inconvenient, she may be disciplined. ”

She used the chicken bowl cup to hint at Cheng Yubai, saying that it was broken, and it was difficult to repair it after finding several masters, and she had to think of another way, which was both a reminder and a warning. In other words, Xu Xiaohe's rumors are not wrong, and the Propaganda Department may really want to give up Cheng Yubai.

What kind of tripartite talks are there to do, both sides are in agreement, and there are many Cheng Yubai's sworn enemies in the reform group of the other side, how can they not take the opportunity to get him down?

At this time, Xu Qing was really anxious, worry, anger, and worry came up together, and in the end, they all caused grievances that were unfair to Cheng Yubai. Why? Why should they do that to him, damn it?

At this moment, Xu Zhiliu suddenly remembered the rainy night when he was humiliated by An Shijiu, when Xiao Liang grabbed the murderer and waded across the pond to his side, he seemed to be in the same state of mind as Xu Qing.

At that time, he was covered in mud, his delicate cheeks were covered with scars from fights with people, blood was washed to the corners of his mouth by the rain, and his eyes were heartbroken and humiliating to look at him.

He recalled that gaze over and over again, his chest kept rising and falling, he couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward to block Xu Qing's way.

"Sit down and we'll talk."

"What are you talking about?"

"Why don't you talk about why Li Ke committed suicide?"

……

Cheng Yubai received the notice the next day.

There were many of his henchmen in the reform team, and as soon as he returned to Jingdezhen, those people came to discuss countermeasures, and Xiao Qili was busy all the way away, boiling tea and delivering water, dealing with the remaining chores, and when he sent those people away, it was already dark.

He brought a bowl of somen noodles to Cheng Yubai: "Brother, I've been hungry for a day, let's eat something to pad my stomach." ”

Cheng Yubai didn't have much appetite, but he still took two bites, and then put them aside, letting Xiao Qi close the store and rest early. Xiao Qi looked at the remaining half of the noodle bowl, hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about you?" ”

"I want to sit alone for a while."

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

Cheng Yubai tore open the cigarette case, shook it twice on his fingertips, poured out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Xiao Qi stepped forward to hand over the fire, Cheng Yubai glanced at him, and seemed to smile: "What, are you afraid that I will be cranky?" ”

At this glance, Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

His brother is back.

"Then I'll go to sleep, and you can rest early."

He didn't know if Cheng Yubai had come up with a way to deal with it, but looking at the worried looks of those people when they left, it was not expected to go well, but the matter had come to this point, no matter how worried it was, it was useless to take care of his body first, and then find another way out.

Of course, Cheng Yubai knew this truth, and he didn't intend to torture himself, sitting alone in the hiding room, with his arms on his lap, while swallowing clouds and spitting fog, while staring at the two portraits on the wall.

Cheng Min's painting was brought from Yaoli's hometown by Li Kelai because of the accident, and the other one was specially brought back by him on this return trip.

The house was empty, and he didn't want Li Ke to stay alone in the ancient town, but he didn't know if returning to a scoop of drinks would be as he wished?

However, even if it wasn't as he wanted, he couldn't resist.

Cheng Yubai said: "I know you hate me, but you are dead, you can't do anything, hate it, hate it, what do I care about?" There are so many people who hate me, what are you? ”

"You think you'll make up for what you owe me? You think too great of yourself. ”

"Maybe it's your purpose to get revenge on me, maybe I'm doing it myself? If so, Master, all I can say is that you succeeded, you pinned me to the ground. ”

"Master, tell me, what the do you mean?"

One cigarette ends, another cigarette.

Cheng Yubai took half a night and went back to the house to sleep. The next day, as usual, a group of people came to discuss countermeasures, and Cheng Yubai entertained them to stay until dark, and then meditated alone.

Two days later, Xiao Qi found out that something was wrong, nothing was right, how could Cheng Yubai sit at home and think about countermeasures? When did he encounter a problem in the past, didn't he take the initiative? He often runs outside, plays all the things on the wine table, and often doesn't make much progress when he gets drunk, but he still wakes up the next day and continues to run around the day before.

But this time, he sat at home, waiting for people to come to the door, and ate on time, although he smoked a little harder, but it was not out of line, but he never took the initiative to make a phone call.

He hadn't been in contact with Xu Qing for a while, Xiao Qi noticed something, he didn't dare to ask more, and he didn't dare to make an assertion to tell Xu Qing that they were back, just looking at Cheng Yubai so abnormal, as if he had given up struggling, he panicked in his heart.

After thinking about it, he still couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and press the familiar number.

Three days after hearing that they had been back, Xu Qing snapped and hung up the phone.
