In the room, Gao Hangfeng finished speaking, and he took one last look at me and Jiang Xue respectively, and then turned around and walked out of the rental house.

In the brief argument they had just had, I couldn't say a word because...... What Gao Hangfeng said is indeed true, in the past two years, everyone in our circle knows that Jiang Xue, she has helped me too much, even if I have politely refused, but she still does it without hesitation, just like she said just now, "voluntarily" to do this for me.

I took one last look at the lost back of Gao Hangfeng when he left, and I had mixed feelings and mixed feelings in my heart.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, the three of us should not be so "close", at least in life and career, we should be separated. If I had figured this out earlier, maybe this wouldn't have happened today.

In our circle, first "lost" Lin Shile and Fang Chao, and then Lao Wei went back to his hometown because of family matters, and now the three of us, is it ...... Because of today's incident, Gao Hangfeng or Jiang Xue, are they all going to leave me?

When I was distracted, Jiang Xue got up and walked towards her room, turning her back to me and whispering.

"Today's matter is my own choice, so don't blame yourself anymore, take the money, and deal with the tavern affairs properly...... Lao Xue, I don't blame you, as long as you can understand my mind, it's enough...... I'll go back to my room first. ”

After Jiang Xue entered the room, I sat alone on the chair in the living room, silently lit a cigarette that I had wanted to light a long time ago, until the familiar nicotine taste rushed into my body, and my inner mood gradually improved a little.

I got up and walked to the balcony, habitually lying on the edge of the railing, watching the night gradually cover the sky, the stars twinkling at the same time as the planes streaked across the night sky.

At this moment, I can't help but think in my heart: what is love? Is it the feeling of the night breeze blowing in your face, or the stars twinkling in the sky but untouchable? It's fascinating, but it's also confusing!

……

This night, I did not go back to the tavern, but simply stayed in my room quietly and had a good night's rest, until the next morning, when I went to the tavern to continue my day's work.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Hangfeng still hadn't come to the tavern, and just as I wanted to send him a message, he was the first to send a message to me.

"For the next few days, I can't go to the tavern, I need to prepare something, and I just need to think about the next few days for myself. You don't have to look for me anymore, I'll be back to the tavern when the time is right. ”

After reading Gao Hangfeng's message, I was silent for a while, just replied to him with a "good" word, and then silently put down the phone.

Today is the first day of the official closure of the tavern for rectification, and the original staff of the tavern have also come to the new store to help, but in fact, the new store does not need so many people, so I simply let some of them come to the voluntary holiday.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, I had a brief dinner at the tavern, and then went into the office and continued to think about the next work.

For the rest of the day, I spent most of my time in the tavern, looking like I was working, but I was wandering a lot of the time, thinking about what had happened in the past two days. It's confronting, but it's also like escaping.

I stood in front of the window of my office and lit the first cigarette after dinner, spring was coming soon, and the succulent potted plants by the window, with their leaves, looked alive in the light.

After a short while, there was a knock on the office door, and I responded with a "please come in," and someone came in.

Still turning my back to the direction of the door, I whispered, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

"Didn't you even turn around and look at me?"

This familiar voice made me subconsciously turn around and look at the person who came to my office, officially Qin Weilan.

"Wei Lan, why did you come here all of a sudden?"

Qin Weilan smiled indifferently, walked to the chair next to the desk and sat down, and said softly, "It's okay, I should have come over a long time ago...... I know what happened at the tavern, but a few days ago, I happened to be out of town on a business trip to the south, and I didn't return to Kyoto until this afternoon. ”

Her expression gradually became bitter, and she said to me in a lost tone: "Jingfan, I never thought that Zhang Yunluo would do this...... And the reason why you met Zhang Yunluo, and the reason why you had a holiday with him later, was actually caused by me, and I indirectly caused you a big trouble again. ”

I snuffed out the remaining half of the cigarette butt on the ashtray, then walked to the small sofa next to me and sat down, picking up the teapot and pouring myself a small cup of tea, while softly responding to Qin Weilan's words.

"Maybe these are all in the dark, they have been arranged for a long time, and they are destined to encounter these things."

After I finished speaking, Qin Weilan got up and walked to the sofa opposite me, then took out a bank card from her bag and put it in front of my desk, I raised my head, looked at her with a puzzled expression, and asked.

"What does that mean?"

"I already know the verdict of the tavern, a total of 380,000...... Jingfan, I must also be responsible for this trouble, you are because of me, such a thing happened, you take the money, otherwise I will be very upset......"

"How can I, Xue Jingfan, let the two women give me money to solve the crisis when I am in trouble......" I smiled bitterly and continued: "Wei Lan, you take the card back, someone has already helped me solve this trouble." ”

Qin Weilan paused for a moment, looked at me suspiciously, and asked, "Is it Jiang Xue?" ”

I nodded my head with a "hmm" and moved the card on the table to her, motioning for her to take it back.

Qin Weilan was not in a hurry to take the bank card away, and after being silent for a while, she continued to ask me, "Jiang Xue...... Does she have so much money to help you? ”

I took a deep breath and was extremely reluctant to agree to Jiang Xue to Xingyue Entertainment and Guo Qingchu in order to raise money for me.

"The contract is for three years, and in these three years, Jiang Xue's career plan will be handed over to Xingyue Entertainment, including training, commercial performances, etc."

Qin Weilan sighed lightly and said, "Why is she so troubled...... It's also my fault, if only I had come back sooner......"

I didn't respond to Qin Weilan's words, but silently poured her a small cup of tea and put it on her table.

Qin Weilan was silent for a while, and then her face showed a complicated look and opened her mouth to me again.

"Jingfan, I can see that Jiang Xue really likes you, no, she can pay so much for you, this is no longer as simple as 'liking', but loving deeply...... What do you think in your heart? ”

I avoided Qin Weilan's gaze and said in a low voice: "Not only you can see it, but as long as the people around us know about it...... I don't want to talk about this anymore, let's change the subject. ”

Qin Weilan sensed my inner emotions, she nodded lightly to me, then put the bank card on the table into her bag, stood up and said to me.

"Then I won't bother you for now, if you want, you can talk to me at any time, not for anything else, just to make you feel better, there is such a person who can confide in you."

After Qin Weilan finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of my office, and from beginning to end, she didn't drink the cup of tea I poured for her on the table.

For a moment, I began to gradually get tired of this kind of life, but I had to continue to face it, and I could only continue to be confused while looking for my own "dawn" ahead.
