Zhou Yi began to worry about this matter as early as more than half a year ago, so he did a lot of homework, read a lot of books, and usually talked about this topic inadvertently when he took Sansan out to play, instilling in her some normal views on mate selection.

Zhou Ren and Mingyue looked at Zhou Yi's confident appearance, and knew that he had worked hard in this regard.

And many years later, Sansan's choice in love did not live up to Zhou Yi's careful teaching.

——

Zhou Ren and Mingyue came to New York with their two children this time, mainly so that they could play with Sansan, so at dinner, Mingyue discussed the matter of a short trip with Zheng Pianji, and after discussion, they decided to go to California.

This was Zhou Yi's turn - after all, he had been there for almost eight years and was very familiar with every city.

Zhou Yi also naturally took the task of arranging the itinerary to himself, "Then you will play in New York for two or three days first, and I will go back and make the itinerary and discuss it, and if there is no problem, we will book a ticket and leave." ”

Zhou Yi said as he picked up his phone and opened the memo, "If you have any places you want to go, you can tell me now." ”

"Disney!" The first person to speak was Sansan, "Can I go to Disney?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhou Yi agreed very simply, "Little left, little right, what about you?" ”

"I'm going to a national park." Xiao Zuo gave the answer after thinking about it.

Xiao You also followed: "I'm going to Sunset Boulevard." ”

"OK, no problem." Zhou Yi made a note in the memo.

Zheng Pianqi happened to sit on Zhou Yi's side, and he could see him when he raised his eyes slightly, and when he saw his expression seriously tapping on the mobile phone screen, Zheng Pianqi's gaze unconsciously stayed on him for a few more seconds.

I don't know if it's because of the change of roles and getting along mode, when she gets along with Zhou Yi recently, she often has a feeling that she has never known him, and occasionally finds his "charm" from the details - this is not the same as the charm she found when she was chased by him and fell in love with him.

In a relationship, people are "disguised", especially an experienced and skilled person like Zhou Yi, Zheng Pianqi later separated from him and realized that the qualities and charms he showed in front of her at the beginning were actually deliberately shown to her - not that he was acting, but what she saw was not a complete person.

But now Zhou Yi, at least in Zheng Pian's senses, he is more real and complete.

Zheng Pianqi thought that some of Zhou Yi's characteristics should not have changed, but her perspective when she looked at him had changed.

For example, he is so attentive to arrange his family's itinerary, if he looks at it from the perspective of the relationship between men and women, he will probably have a sense of loss that has been neglected, and he will unconsciously compare, which one is more important, he and his family, this is not hypocrisy, this is the psychology that people can't avoid, because love is always accompanied by expectations.

But now from the perspective of an ordinary friend, she will see the shining points in him, he is very good to his family, he will carefully write down the needs of the child, and try his best to meet them.

He is not a qualified lover, and he is a good father, friend, and family, and there is no contradiction between the two.

——

The trip to California lasted a week, and after the end, Zheng Pianqi and Zhou Yi took the three or three back to New York first.

The studio is now gradually getting busy, and the exhibition in September has also entered a state of preparation, Zheng Pianqi really does not have much time to play outside.

When they were separated, the most reluctant ones were naturally the three children.

They made an appointment to go to Beicheng to play during the winter vacation this year, and Xiao Zuo Xiaoyou also said very arrogantly that they would take Sansan to the resort for the Spring Festival.

Sansan was on the way to New York, and began to look forward to the arrival of the winter vacation.

After returning to New York, Zheng Pianqi devoted herself to work, and she finally listened to Zhou Yi's suggestion and chose three brands to cooperate, although there were still many invitations, but Zheng Pianqi refused.

She is not so short of money, and business cooperation does not require much, and it is easy to distract herself.

After Zheng Pianqi elected the brand, Zhou Yi was promoting the related matters of business cooperation, which was a very suitable job for him, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a person who was not good at socializing, Zheng Pianqi unconsciously relied on Zhou Yi in this matter.

When encountering any tricky problems in business, Zheng Pianqi will think of Zhou Yi as soon as possible - after such a thing happened a few times, Zheng Pianqi realized that something was wrong, and she subconsciously fell into anxiety.

That afternoon, after receiving an email reply from his partner, Zheng Pianqi immediately wanted to hand it over to Zhou Yi to deal with.

Then she suddenly reacted, she seems to have been too dependent on Zhou Yi lately - she is not good at managing these relationships, and Zhou Yi's existence just makes up for this, he is a very effective assistant at work.

But will there be "danger" in such dependence?

Zheng Pian rubbed his forehead and thought for a long time, and finally picked up his mobile phone and made an appointment with the counselor to meet this weekend.

Because she has been working a lot recently, Zheng Pianjiao has not been there for more than a month, and she thought that her situation had basically been "cured", but she didn't expect that the way of thinking in the past would still pop up from time to time.

After sending a message to the counselor, there was a knock on the door outside the studio.

Zheng Pian replied with a sentence of "please come in", and at the same time raised his head to look over, just opposite Zhou Yi's eyes when he came in.

Zhou Yi closed the door and walked to the long table as usual, "Is there an email from TOMY?" ”

Zheng Pian rubbed his swollen temples and didn't make a sound.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi subconsciously bent down and approached her, propped his hands on the table to observe her state, "Are you feeling unwell?" ”

Zheng Pianjiao shook his head: "It's okay." ”

She changed the subject and talked about work, "The email just arrived, I'll forward it to you now." ”

Zhou Yi said "um", "If you are not feeling well, go to the lounge to sleep for a while, you have been too busy recently, you may not be able to bear it, if you have anything urgent at hand, just leave it to me first." ”

"No, I'll do it myself." Zheng Pianqi subconsciously resisted, "You go out, I'm going to paint." ”

Zhou Yi nodded, still not at ease before he was about to leave: "Is it really okay?" ”

"Well, it's fine." Zheng Pianqi said, "If I feel unwell, I will see a doctor by myself." ”

Zheng Pianqi gave another eviction order, and Zhou Yi saw that she was unhappy, so he didn't stay any longer.

After Zhou Yi left, Zheng Pianjiao took a sip of coffee, got up and sat down in front of the easel, took a pen, and opened the paint box next to him.

The mood was too chaotic, Zheng Pianjiao took the pen and left a bunch of messy brushstrokes on the blank paper.

In less than twenty minutes, a folio sheet of paper had been filled.
