[Slow down: Broken life is still sunny!] 】

She looked at the oversized architectural blueprint, densely packed, all straight lines and various shapes, and she couldn't read it.

"Floor plan?"

"Yes."

"It looks like a park, right?"

"That's right, the floor plan of a park in the Pacifica district of Laicheng is not big. However, the government has organized a special competition for college students, mainly to stimulate the enthusiasm and talent of college students majoring in architecture. There are three awards, each with corresponding bonuses, and the first prize work will be accepted and used."

"Then I hope you win, hehe~"

"By the way, whatever you want to drink, a cocktail is fine, I'll make it."

She thought for a moment, "You decide, just make a cocktail that you want to mix for me the most right now."

"Good!"

Soon, he entered the bar and took out the base wine, soda, lemon juice and other ingredients; tools such as shakers, strainers, tampers, measuring cups, etc.; Begin to pour wine, cut fruit and mash and other preparations.

After his series of smooth maneuvers, a violet-blue cocktail was presented in front of her eyes.

Ai Shangni was fascinated by it, and couldn't help but clap his hands, "The movements are handsome, and the wine is also good-looking."

"It has a sweet, sour, bitter, complex taste, and is called a purple and blue dream. The preference of the small crowd, taste it?"

He specially concocted it for her, and she had to taste it anyway.

She picked up the cocktail and carefully dipped it with the tip of her tongue, the sweet and sour were fine, but the astringency was quite strong, and she couldn't help stirring her mouth.

Seeing her bitter expression, "I really can't drink it."

"Wait, let me try it again, I haven't drunk it yet." Then she took a big sip.

It was bitter and astringent, and it was as if her whole soul was about to be drained from her.

Duan Yiqiao smiled and poured her a glass of boiled water. The two sat in chairs side by side, with their backs to the wine cabinet behind the bar.

"It's really bitter and astringent, but when it enters the throat, it's more sweet and sour in the mouth. First bitter, then sweet and sour. Wow, this wine and this truth of life are in it."

She took the cocktail and took a closer look, then placed it on her overlapping knees and turned her head to him as she spoke.

He also held a glass of boiled water on his knees, and did not turn his head to still look ahead, "There is such a truth in it, but some people live a sweet and sour first, then bitter."

She knew that he was alluding to himself, so she didn't follow his words, and said angrily, "It doesn't matter what it comes first, didn't you just let you mix what you want to drink for me the most, it represents your mood, and you ended up giving me such a peculiar cup."

He tilted his head and his gaze fell on the cocktail in her hand, "That's how I want to tell you right now."

Ai Shangni looked at him with an indescribable sadness in his heart. She just learned from Tang Hao that he had sacrificed so much for his family, and she didn't dare to talk to him on heavier topics, she was afraid that he would be sad, and she was afraid that she would be sad.

At this moment, Duan Yiqiao took the mobile phone lit up on the bar and looked at it, and his face gradually tightened.

Ai Shangni took another sip of the bitter and astringent wine, and as soon as her wrinkled expression unfolded, Duan Yiqiao handed her the phone in front of her.

'I'm sorry, but I told you about your house and the night house. It was Tang Hao's WeChat message to Duan Yiqiao.

Ai Shangni immediately confessed, "I forced Hao to say it, so he had to say it."

Duan Yiqiao took back his mobile phone, and the tension just now quickly disappeared, stabilized his mind, and continued to lean calmly against the wine cabinet.

"What do you think?"

"I don't want to believe it."

"That's the truth."

Ai Shangni put the cocktail on the bar counter, turned to sit down, grabbed his left arm with both hands, and called softly, "Yiqiao~"

He tilted his head and looked at her sideways, thinking of what she had just said about helping him untie the shackles of the Ye family, and sure enough, he knew about the transaction between the two families.

Without any expression, he withdrew his gaze and continued to look ahead, saying, "Actually, I'm very grateful to the Ye family. The sky is going to fall in my house

At that time, it was the loan from the night family that helped my family withstand that day. No matter what you trade, it brings peace to my family, and that's enough. It's just that..... When I faced the night family, especially Nana, I felt very undignified. Sadly, I can't restore my so-called dignity."

Ai Shangni grabbed his hands tighter, comforting him, "Don't say that, you can't help yourself."

I saw him continue: "More than a billion, ten years, in the current situation of my family, I and I have to spend half of our time studying, let alone paying off, there are still some small debts that need to be repaid, how can I have the money to pay off the night home." That deal was actually based on my marriage to Nana. I tried to like Nana, but ah, the human brain can deceive itself, but the heart cannot. After graduating from high school, Nana and I made it clear what we thought of her, but she never let go. In fact, the most fundamental thing is that my family can't repay her family's huge sum, and if she can, whether she can let it go is another matter."

After speaking, he raised his head and exhaled deeply, feeling helpless.

Ai Shangni looked at him, his expression more melancholy than his.

The last time I went to Shangguan's house as a guest, I heard about his marriage to Ye Enna, and she was always at ease, but she didn't dare to ask him because of his mood. In this way, it is not for no reason, even the marriage that the snobbish Mrs. Night admitted, then it is true nine times out of ten.

He was stuck with that deal.

She finally understood why he said that he might not be able to live without Li Cheng for the rest of his life.

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, he turned his face to her and smiled faintly, "What, I was scared by what I said?"

She smiled worriedly, turned around and continued to lean her back against the wine cabinet, and said, "The third brother often tells me that people will encounter all kinds of ups and downs in their lives, big and small, but we can't give up on ourselves because of this. The sun is only hiding behind the dark clouds temporarily, and it will always come out to shine on the earth and shine on us. It's just a little slower."

"That's right, the sparse life is still sunny!"

Suddenly, she quickly turned to face him, leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

He immediately saw a faint fragrance wafting through the tip of his nose, and then her cocktail lips covered his lips, delicate and soft, sweet, like a soft and delicious strawberry mousse cake.

He didn't kiss her back, calmly staring at her close at hand, feeling the beauty emanating from her.

After a few seconds, she lifted her lips away from his lips and said, "I said that I may not be able to help you with this, but I am willing to be the one who is there for you."

"Thank you, Yiyi!"

Ai Shangni glanced at him angrily, "That's it again. In the previous rumor-mongering, you said that you could promise me one thing in order to compensate, and now I want you to fulfill it."

"You say."

"Give my confession a response, like it or not, I want to know. I hate being hung by you like this, it's always unsettling."

He reached out his left hand and grabbed her wrist and said, "I never wanted to hang you, I just ......"

"I know." She just said this on purpose, wanting him to respond to her quickly.

The simple three words made him feel her tolerance and understanding of him, and he couldn't help but hug her, put his lips to his ears, and said softly, "I like you!"

Gentle, yet full of sorrow.

But she didn't wait, he finally said that he liked her.

She was overjoyed, and hugged him tightly with both hands, more warmly than any other hug.

No matter how many grievances she had before, they were all offset by this belated response.

"Wait for me, let me take care of everything. I'll be with you and tell everyone I like you."

Handle everything? Although Ai Shangni felt uneasy, he nodded heavily.

Duan Yiqiao finally opened his hands to Ai Shangni, but he still couldn't hold her tightly. The weight on his shoulders made it too difficult for him to take that step.

In fact, Ai Shangni is not indifferent

Taboo, she never hides her liking for Duan Yiqiao, but she hasn't told him about eye disease so far.

She also had reservations about him, at least when it came to eye disease.

Each has its own burdens.

Ai Shangni chose to love bravely because she met the person she wanted to hold on to for the rest of her life.

Duan Yiqiao thought more, he was not only himself in his life, but the entire Duan family. He loved Ai Shanni, but now he couldn't promise her love.

Despite this, they both really felt the intensity of their affection for each other. net

The 31st is the last day of the year, and tomorrow is New Year's Day, and the new year is coming.

Weekends plus New Year's Day holidays, three days off.

Yesterday Saturday, after seeing Duan Yiqiao leave the bar, Ai Shangni returned to school.

After knowing about the Duan family, her heart was very heavy. But throughout the afternoon, she still took her books to the library to review for most of the day, and it was not until almost five o'clock that she left the library and returned to the dormitory, where she went to the cafeteria for dinner with her roommates. After dinner, she rode her bicycle to the café on the left side. Job.

The second day of the holiday, the 31st, was Sunday.

Except for Shangguan Chen and Situ Bingling, who went home, the other four made an appointment to go out together in the dormitory. During the day, they were all outside. In the evening, Fu Yuke took Ai Shangni to Duan's house for dinner.

This day is Duan Chuntong's birthday, and Duan Yiqiao invited the four Fa Xiao and Ai Shangni to the house as usual. There were nine people, and the small restaurant rented by the Duan family was crowded. However, with Fu Yuke here, it does not affect the dining atmosphere at all.

She can talk and love to say that the atmosphere of the whole dinner is much more lively than the last time she celebrated Duan Yiqiao's birthday.

Although she also felt that something was wrong between Ai Shangni and Duan Yiqiao, and wondered if it was because Ye Enna was there, she ignored it and talked and laughed with everyone as usual. made Duan Guangping and Shen Ruyun laugh constantly, and even Duan Chuntong, who had always been cold, smiled several times.

I had a great time eating my birthday dinner.
