After his birthday, Jiang Qingchi didn't want to go back to school so soon.
School is not very attractive to him now because there is no one he wants to meet.
It just so happened that on the weekend, several brothers from high school gathered together.
Boys and girls are different. Girls can not go out for a month and just stay at home with food and drink. Boys cannot. People and circles need to be connected through occasions.
but-
Jiang Qingchi usually doesn't need to take the initiative to contact others, because others take the initiative to contact him. His friends are all people in the same circle. His parents are either CEOs, doctors, or officials or soldiers.
He drove his own sports car to the hotel, so Jiangbeiyuan only gave him a car in his own territory.
When he arrived at the hotel, the front desk and waiters' eyes were glued to him. Like radar, they followed him wherever he went.
At such a gathering, Jiang Qingchi dressed casually, but he did not lose his face. He was dressed in casual clothes, sports shoes worth hundreds of thousands, and a Patek Philippe men's watch on his left wrist. He did not wear such expensive ones at school. I find it troublesome and unnecessary.
Such a handsome guy, good-looking, and wearing a famous brand, who would you look at if you don't look at him!
However, what didn't match his outfit was the gray scarf around his neck.
Knitted, old-fashioned, fringed is all the rage these days.
As soon as he entered the box door, the boy who had the best relationship with Jiang Qingchi High School hooked his shoulder.
"Did you pick up this scarf? It's so ugly."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qingchi's face suddenly darkened, "Would you like to say it again?"
The other party's name was Yu Hao, and he smiled disapprovingly, "What's wrong? I won't let you know about a scarf. Did your mother or your sister give it to you?"
"roll."
"Don't worry, I still want to chase your sister. Your sister is an adult now, so you can chase her!"
"Whether you are an adult or not, it doesn't matter to you." Jiang Qingchi bent a finger and poked Yu Hao's shoulder.
People who want to chase his sister can line up two long streets, who is he? Not even brothers.
Soon, the rest of the brothers came one after another, and several boys bumped fists, hugged, patted shoulders or beat each other twice to express their affection for each other.
Then I sat down and saw about seven or eight boys at a table.
"Hey, Conggen hasn't come yet?" Yu Hao shouted.
Conggen's original name was Li Cong. He was lean and lean, so he was called Conggen by the big guys.
"The roots are at the back. I heard that I brought my girlfriend here, and I want to introduce her to you!"
I don't know which words made Jiang Qingchi come to mind. He picked up the bowl of tea in front of him and drank several sips.
Isn't it said that tea makes people feel better? Why does he get more angry the more he drinks it
"What's wrong with the pool? Isn't it hot wearing a scarf?"
The heating in the private room was turned on to 30 degrees, and everyone else took off their coats. Only Jiang Qingchi had a scarf around his neck, which seemed particularly inappropriate.
Jiang Qingchi said without raising his head, "Wearing it, I feel at ease."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Cong came.
Li Cong brought a very beautiful girlfriend.
As soon as his girlfriend entered the door, she saw Jiang Qingchi.
She didn't mean to look at him, it was just because his appearance was so outstanding. Even if he wasn't sitting in the middle, he still attracted attention like he stood out from the crowd.
"Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, An Xin."
Jiang Qingchi lazily raised his eyelids.
Just for a moment.
The next second he lowered his eyes, with no unnecessary expression on his face.
An Xin smiled and said, "Li Cong, it turns out you and Jiang Qingchi are friends, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"Huh? You two know each other?"
"Ah... yes, we are in the same major and in the same class at university."
An Xin said this very proudly, and looked smugly towards Jiang Qingchi, who bent an arm to support his forehead. His handsome face showed no emotion at all, as if he was distracted, and he didn't seem to care at all about An Xin's approach.
Li Cong grabbed the melon seeds on the table and threw them towards Jiang Qingchi.
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"
Jiang Qingchi frowned and said in a quiet voice, "Ang, I know him, but I'm not familiar with him."
Didn't you see that he was depressed? He didn't even look at the muzzle of the gun.
Li Cong looked at Yu Hao, "What's wrong with him?"
Yu Hao shrugged, "I don't know, it's like falling out of love."
One sentence made Jiang Qingchi angry.
Why does everyone say he looks like a lovelorn person? Is there any more heavenly justice
He grabbed Yu Hao's collar next to him and almost gritted his teeth, "If you take a closer look, do I look like a lovelorn person?"
Yu Hao is not afraid of death: "Either you are broken up in love, or you are divorced, or else, you are being cuckolded?"
"You're the only one who's a cuckold—your whole family is a cuckold!"
"Haha, it's like this. Jiang Qingchi had a girlfriend in college,"
An Xin suddenly said, raising her hand and tucking the strands of hair behind her ears. This action was so gentle and beautiful that all the boys present except Jiang Qingchi looked at her.
Realizing that she had become the center of attention, An Xin curled her lips and smiled:
"That girl's name is Mu Yanzhu, and her name is quite nice."
"What does he look like? Who is more beautiful than Cheng Huan?" asked a brother.
An Xin was puzzled, "Who is Cheng Huan?"
"Oh, that's Chizi's girlfriend from high school, the school beauty."
Li Cong explained to her that he found Cheng Huan's photo from Cheng Huan's circle of friends and showed it to An Xin.
Seeing this, An Xin's lips curled up again.
"Maybe I speak more frankly. I think Cheng Huan is much prettier than Mu Yanzhu. Yes, I heard that Mu Yanzhu's character is not that good. She is a weird girl and not very popular. I am all of these things. I just heard it from hearsay, just listen to it—"
"Wow-"
The dining table was overturned.
The plate that fell on the floor reflected An Xin's frightened and pale little face, and the words she had not finished speaking were all blocked in her throat, unable to come down or come up.
The man who flipped the table was condescending, staring at her with his raised eyebrows as if they were tempered with poison.
"I'm telling you, I don't hit women, though!"
"It's totally unacceptable for me to hear you say a bad word about my wife!"
After speaking, Jiang Qingchi picked up his coat, put it on and went out directly.
Like a fierce ghost emerging from the depths of hell, he came on the moon and left bloodthirsty. No one dared to provoke him, and no one dared to compete with him.
"Bang!" There was a slamming of the door, and An Xin cried and was frightened.
Li Cong patted her hair and comforted her, "Okay, okay, my brother is like this, he has a bad temper, don't take it to heart, I'll talk to him later!"
Yu Hao sighed: "We talked about Cheng Huan a lot before, and we never saw Chizi like this. What's going on, eating him to death?"
"Who knows, let's ask the waiter to pack our things first."
…
Jiang Qingchi left the restaurant and saw two small words written on the lower right corner of the scarf.
rivers.
His grip on the scarf tightened.
"Whose river am I? It's been three days, I said you were home, and I didn't say anything else. I didn't tell you how you were doing, and you didn't say you missed me. I can't get through this day? If I had known you would start with Don't mess with me, I never knew I would like you so much."
"Who do you like?"
A voice sounded from behind, startling Jiang He Hu Hai.
As soon as I turned my head, I saw a familiar face, with oval face, big eyes, delicate and beautiful facial features, Xiaojiabiyu's dress, who else could it be besides Cheng Huan.
"When did you come home? I thought you were still at school."
"Come back to celebrate my birthday, go back tomorrow."
In fact, he wasn't going back tomorrow, Jiang Qingchi said so deliberately, turned around and left.
Cheng Huan followed him, "How are you doing? Have you got a new girlfriend? Are you still single?"
"What does it have to do with you? We have been separated for several lifetimes."
Jiang Qingchi is very annoyed with Cheng Huan now.
To be precise, he was annoyed by women except Mu Yanzhu.
The reason why I dated Cheng Huan before was because she was the school beauty and good-looking, and the brothers said she was difficult to woo.
Difficult to pursue
All energetic young men like challenges. In addition, men have a desire to conquer in their bones. The more they don't get, the more they get excited, so Jiang Qingchi also pursued Cheng Huan.
Unexpectedly, I just chased him casually and succeeded. It felt like it was not interesting.
In addition, Cheng Huan is not good at taking care of himself. Because his family is rich and powerful, he has nothing to do but make up and dress up.
Oh yes, speaking of this, Jiang Qingchi had to mention that Cheng Huan ate noodles one by one and rice one grain at a time. Jiang Qingchi couldn't stand such people.
Jiang San'er told him that Cheng Huan's mother, Yan Nian's love rival, is the kind of person who eats rice one grain at a time.
Then Jiang Qingchi broke up with her naturally.
Now that Lang Qingqing is interested in concubine, Cheng Huan can't forget Jiang Qingchi, "Do you still remember that when you were a child, you were a little fat guy, and you chased me, but I still looked down on you. Who knew you would be so handsome when you grow up."
"Are you bringing up hundreds of years of old stories? Why don't you mention the time when your mother fell in love with my father."
"Hey you!"
Cheng Huan stamped his foot hard.
That's a matter for the older generation, can they be blamed for the crime
Jiang Qingchi put his hands in his pockets. A bus came next to him. He got on it without looking at it. He just wanted to avoid Cheng Huan and not let her gossip in his ears.
Outside the window, Cheng Huan shouted something unknown to Jiang Qingchi.
Jiang Qingchi didn't hear clearly.
He didn't bother to listen clearly.
Leaning against the car window, with headphones in his ears, listening to Jay Chou's songs, is this considered love to Wu Jiwu? Because he likes Mu Yanzhu, he also falls in love with her idol.
But look, none of the other women are in favor of him. She is the only one who is his real girlfriend and still ignores him.
Does that silly girl really like him
Then why didn't you contact him for several days
Jiang Qingchi wrapped the scarf around his neck several times, as if it was the only warmth he had now.
Sitting in front of him was a young girl. She recalled the only time she took the bus on a whim when she was a child. She watched Mu Yanzhu fall asleep and hit her head against the glass. His little hand was on her hair to remind her. Be careful.
Facing the front, the young man suddenly felt something:
"Daughter-in-law, I miss you."
The girl in front turned her head.
Looking at the back, I thought it was a young girl, but I didn't expect it to be an aunt.
The aunt smiled like a rose, "Little handsome boy, am I your wife?"
Jiang Qingchi faked a smile: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm gay."
…
When Jiang San'er took a taxi to pick up Jiang Qingchi, someone was already soaked in the rain.
This is a kind of deserved thing. He didn’t even know which bus he was taking. He fell asleep in the middle of the bus. He took it all the way to the terminal. He arrived at a place where birds don’t poop. It rained heavily and he didn’t get wet.
Jiang Jingming held a big black umbrella and walked in front of Jiang Qingchi with his white canvas shoes splashing on the water.
The latter was sitting on the ground, his head lowered, his hair soaked through the water, lying limply against his bangs. This time he looked like an abandoned little wolf dog, pitiful and very suitable for the situation.
Jiang San'er took off her coat to him, "Are you pregnant?"
Jiang Qingchi took out the scarf tucked into his shirt and said, "This is a gift from my wife. It must not get wet."
"Oh, let's go."
"Um."
The two of them were sitting in the back seat, equally heroic and handsome.
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror twice and said, "What did you two brothers eat to grow up and you look so good?"
Jiang Qingchi: "You have to ask my dad about this."
Jiang San'er: "You can ask my mother."
Hey!
The two young men have quite a tacit understanding.
When I got home, only the dog was at home, Yan Nian and Jiang Beiyuan went out, and Jiang Chunhe went to dance class.
The three dogs Yu Li gave birth to during his lifetime, Chang'an and Changsheng, all grew old one after another, with only Changsheng still alive.
Jiang Qingchi squatted on the ground and touched Changshou's head.
"San'er, how long do you think I can live if I live long?"
"A hundred years old."
"Um?"
"Longevity."
"Heh, you're the one who reacts quickly."
"Not only do I react quickly, I also move faster than you."
Before Jiang Qingchi could react what he meant, San'er threw him a piece of paper with a list of addresses written on it.
"My sister-in-law's address."
Jiang Qingchi's first reaction was that he was jealous, "How do you have her address?"
I knew he would ask that.
Jiang San'er sighed, "I have hacker friends who hack your school's computers and all the students' personal information."
"Tch. So what."
Jiang Qingchi still spoke harshly when he was about to die, threw the note aside, and continued to caress Chang Ming.
"She doesn't contact me and doesn't care about me at all... I still care about what she does."
"Did you know she doesn't have parents?"
"Hmm. What's wrong?"
"Then do you know that her uncle and aunt sold her house?" Jiang San'er asked again.
Jiang Qingchi was stunned.
"I'll help you just once."
San'er threw a file into Jiang Qingchi's arms.
This contains most of Mu Yanzhu's family information.
"It's a rare trip home, so don't be in a bad mood. If you are unhappy, your parents will be anxious, and my sister and I will also be worried about you."
"Thanks, San'er."
"..." San'er made a gesture of spreading his hands, and then went back to the room.
*
"The same goes for you two. Even if you don't take care of the old lady, why did you send her to a nursing home?"
Facing the village chief's question, Mu Yanzhu's aunt Zheng Ru kept smiling apologetically: "Village chief, what are you talking about? How can I not support the elderly? It's not that Mu Gang and I are busy and are afraid of the elderly. No one is taking care of you!”
"I see that this old lady has a strong body. I saw her going to the market a few days ago, shouting and selling eggs and duck eggs. She has a stronger body than anyone else!"
The village chief became more and more angry.
"You two have made money now, don't think that you will leave the village. No matter what, your household registration will always be in our Mujia Village. Okay, okay, take the old lady back quickly, and ask a child to talk to me about this matter. , it’s not embarrassing!”
Mu Ran nodded from the side: "That's right, parents, you are going too far, and you let my sister get involved in this matter."
"Listen, the kids are smarter than you two!"
The village chief cursed and left.
Zheng Ru stepped down and pointed at Mu Ran, "How could I give birth to a thing like you with your elbows turned out? Huh?"
"Mom, you were wrong in the first place. Your grandma was only over sixty, so you sent her to a nursing home. No wonder the neighbors chewed your tongue all day long!"
"What do you know, a kid? If I don't kick her out, how can she flip the house she has? If not, how will your father and I get the money to buy you a house? Also, don't talk to that girl Mu Yanzhu anymore in the future. Get in touch, lest she teach you bad things!”
"My sister got 680 in the college entrance examination. What did she teach me badly?"
"You will definitely be better than her in the future. Mom believes in you!"
Mu Ran: "..."
He can score 380 in the high school entrance examination, and he will be grateful if he can go to school!
Mu Yanzhu went to the nursing home to pick up the old lady.
Mu Ran also came to grandma's house, carrying fruit and milk in his hands to give to grandma.
The old lady sighed, "My teeth are broken. Leave these things to your sister."
"Sister... I'm sorry." Mu Ran's eyes were filled with guilt.
"It's not your fault, why do you apologize?"
There was a trace of exhaustion in Mu Yanzhu's eyes. Ever since she returned home, she had been fussing over her grandma's affairs because she never expected that her uncle and aunt would drive the old lady to a nursing home.
"Uncle and aunt used to be good friends. The richer they get, the more they forget their roots. They are unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust. What happened with grandma this time, including the last time I sold the house, made me see through them."
Mu Ran scratched her hair and said, "Sister, to be honest, I don't know how my parents got rich overnight. It's quite strange."
"Okay, it's none of your business. You go to school and get into a key high school first."
After Mu Ran left, Mu Yanzhu put the old lady's clothes in the nursing home into a wooden basin and washed them by hand.
The cell phone was put in her pocket, but there was no movement.
Four days.
Time passes quickly and slowly.
Li Wenna told her that if a couple does not contact each other for more than two weeks, the relationship is defined as an automatic breakup.
She and Jiang Qingchi haven't contacted each other for four days, and it feels like they are really going to be cut off.
"What's wrong with my girl? Why has she been crying these days?"
The old lady saw that Mu Yanzhu's eyes were red and a little swollen, so she naturally asked.
Mu Yanzhu shook her head, "Grandma, I'm fine. I think of you."
The old lady smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
At night, Mu Yanzhu suffered from insomnia. She lay on the bed and flipped through the chat records between her and Jiang Qingchi. She listened to the voice messages he sent her over and over again. Those warm little moments were vivid in her mind and they really existed.
Unknowingly, half a year has passed by like this.
When you love him, you don't feel distant. Even if you break up, you should not disturb him.
Thinking like this, Mu Yanzhu fell asleep in a daze, sleeping from three o'clock in the morning to ten thirty in the morning.
This is the first time she has stayed in bed for so long.
Turn on your phone—
The phone exploded!
Jiang Qingchi made 30 phone calls to her, 20 WeChat calls, and sent her a stamp of 99+ on QQ.
