In the end, Lin Jingzhe couldn't take his father out. Lin Runsheng, who entered the teaching mode, seemed to have split into a second personality. This personality was irritable and hard to talk, and it was his responsibility to kill students.
Zhou Haitang looked like he was going to be out of luck, until Lin Jingzhe went out, he hadn't been able to get all the lines, but Lin Runsheng had already turned his attention to other subjects, and asserted that with his current grades, he could make up for the class activities. It takes at least a week to see visible results.
Of course, the elders were happy to see this, and Dad Zhou even got up enthusiastically and poured a cup of tea for Lin Runsheng to moisten his throat. Thinking of Gao Sheng hiding in the room and looking at the living room cautiously through the gap of the door = the chicken thief, Lin Jingzhe felt a heartfelt guilt for the pair.
Xiao Chi was waiting outside the gate of the community, before Lin Jingzhe saw him.
In the midsummer weather, the other party was wearing a short dress that was cut and refreshing. He was tall and had long legs, and his curled hair was half tied up. He leaned on the car and looked up at the community. It was like an oil painting in the gorgeous summer evening sky in Yan City.
The surrounding residents walked past him and secretly looked back.
Lin Jingzhe stopped far away, and stood at the gate of the community watching this scene with interest. He only felt that the expressionless person standing in the crowd looked like a lone wolf, while the passersby were rabbits. His temperament of keeping strangers out of the way.
The calm gaze of the "Lone Wolf" who refused to let people thousands of miles away caused ripples in the moment he met him.
At such moments, Lin Jingzhe would clearly realize a reality—he was special.
It seems that in such a small corner of the world, he has become an absolutely indispensable protagonist. Lin Jingzhe likes this feeling.
"Who's this? Are you young?" Xiao Chi asked while opening the door for him.
"Just Zhou Haitang, and Gao Sheng, remember? The two who had dinner together last time, my dad said he wanted to meet at their family."
Lin Jingzhe originally wanted to take the opportunity of this meeting to report the news of his marriage to Xiao Chi directly to the two families, but he couldn't find the right time for the whole process. Leave early.
But after his voice fell, Xiao Chi, who was driving in the driver's seat, was suddenly silent, looking at the road quietly with a blank face. Although there was no obvious expression, his whole body exuded an aura of "I'm not happy".
Lin Jingzhe asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"
"That Gao Sheng and Zhou Haitang..." Xiao Chi pondered for a while, frowning slightly, "Are you the ones who bought me the exact same leather jacket?"
"..." Lin Jingzhe thought for a while before finally realizing it, and a strong desire to laugh surged into his heart. At this time, he wanted to tell Xiao Chi the truth, but his reason told him that he must rot the truth in his stomach. If he really said it, Xiao Chi could overturn this car.
"Do you still remember?" Lin Jingzhe looked up at him, "No, how long has it been since then? I have given you both of their leather jackets, and one of Deng Mai's, don't you have them all now? Stacked in our cloakroom, why are you still eating vinegar?"
Xiao Chi said awkwardly, "I didn't."
The strings of Buddha beads on his wrist seemed to be hot, urging him to remove these restraints, Xiao Chi held back and tried not to pay attention to them. He couldn't tell what he was feeling either, his heart was swelled, and there was an astringent emotion tumbling over. This emotion was born on the day he was with Lin Jingzhe, and every time the other party showed that he was out of control, he would show up with his teeth and claws.
He knew that before meeting him, Lin Jingzhe had a complete world of his own. There are family members and friends in his circle, Gao Sheng and Zhou Haitang are indispensable, but there is absolutely no ambiguous connection.
But he's just not good,
Xiao Chi remembered that the first time he came into contact with Buddhism when he was a child, was the pen that his grandmother put into his hand. At that time, my grandmother told him that the Buddha is not omnipotent, and even it does not exist objectively. Therefore, we must not rely on faith. Buddha is only a constraint, and people who believe in it restrain their desires when necessary.
This meeting of the Yanshi Real Estate Alliance was more like a party. There were many non-alliance members with strong upward momentum at the gathering. After the members of the alliance briefly exchanged their views on the existing tradable plots in Yan City, they were in twos and threes. Spread out the entertainment.
Lin Jingzhe was pulled by a group of new real estate developers to speak, and looked at Xiao Chi who was surrounded by another group from a distance. The low pressure on the other side showed no signs of getting better.
"What's wrong with Mr. Xiao?" I heard someone curiously discussing in my ear, "It seems that I'm in a particularly bad mood today."
Lin Jingzhe took a sip of wine and looked back at the people who were talking. These are a group of young real estate developers in Yan City, who emerged from the development trend in the north of the city. Lin Jingzhe started from real estate and was the core member of them .
The communication circle between businessmen and businessmen is very meticulous. Although everyone is friendly on the surface, maybe they even cooperate occasionally, but in fact, who should play with whom, everyone on the other side knows who is who. Bright.
In the early years, it was better. After all, it was not long before commercial housing was launched in China, and there were not many resources that could be developed at the beginning. There were only a few real estate developers who could obtain them and develop accordingly. Like, you can talk about relatives when you leave the conference room.
But with the rapid economic development, this situation was gradually broken.
The group around Lin Jingzhe all emerged from the smoke and dust of the development in the north of the city. Their family background is far less prominent than the old school. However, even he is inexplicable. Perhaps the history of his fortune in real estate is too representative. This group of people seems to regard him as the leader. Since the first large-scale transaction of land in the northern section of the city, this one takes him as the leader. This small circle at the core gradually expanded. The people who came out after that were also consciously classified here. These self-made rich generation who had almost no background and depended solely on their personal strength formed a sharp contrast with the members of Xiao Chi's circle.
Then I don't know when it started, the daily life of the two factions led by Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi were evenly matched against each other. It's all to blame for the big mouth of Dai Gaofeng. Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi have clearly been very committed to showing a good relationship between the two sides. From the public cooperation complex to the activities that almost all appear at the same time, but outside is inexplicably determined that their discord .
After the news of Lin Jingzhe's attempted assassination attempt by Shi Nanxing came out, all kinds of speculation became more and more serious. After all, in order to steal the shares in Shi Nanxing's hands a few days ago, Xiao Chi had been with the other party for a while. This is amazing. When all kinds of information are combined, doesn't it make people terrified
Therefore, the clear trend between the two small circles is becoming more and more obvious, and each other is always paying attention to each other's every move.
"Isn't this normal?" Someone first turned the topic to Xiao Chi, and the rest immediately joined in, "Didn't you hear? Qi Kai was finally arrested and returned to China some time ago, and now he is clearly under control and will be sentenced. Zhenxiong also seems to be unable to drive. Mr. Xiao and his company only took the land from Wubao Mountain a few months ago. At that time, I was afraid that the price was cheap and wanted to find a leak. Abandoned, he wants to be happy, is he happy?"
The crowd sighed. The case of Qi Kai and Shi Nanxing is the most magnificent drama in Yan City since the beginning of this year. After all, they used to be people around them who were alive and kicking. Now, they are dead and dead. Although there was no intersection in the past, most people still can't help but feel emotional. But there are people who sigh and gloat at misfortune. There are many cynical characters in all circles. They can be very happy to see the Centrino real estate, which has been developing smoothly, capsize in the gutter.
A young boss in the cutting-edge circle who has been jumping up and down recently has a look of joy on his face that he can't hide: "Look, the tens of millions of funds from Centrino Real Estate will definitely not be recovered, and Wubao Mountain is an ominous piece of land. I don’t even know what happened to the Zhenxiong real estate that got the land before. It’s a crematorium and a funeral home, and now the former boss is still being reorganized like this. Don’t say he’s in a bad mood, I think Mr. Xiao estimates that at night I can’t sleep well at night, who will pick up this plate? Haha!”
Lin Jingzhe squinted and looked at him quietly, then put down the cup after a while: "You guys talk."
"Ah? President Lin? President Lin—"
The man called several times but failed to stop him. He was confused and uneasy for a while: "Why are you suddenly angry?"
The people next to him silently took a few steps away from him. At the same time, they shook their heads secretly in their hearts. This man quickly rose up against the farmland next to the Chengbei New Expressway. Not long after he entered this small circle, he tried his best to take pictures every day. Lin Jingzhe was flattering, but the sourness and insidiousness in his bones could not be concealed.
This person just said those words, it was really sloppy, and he thought that saying these words would make Lin Jingzhe look at him, but who has been with Lin Jingzhe for a while, who doesn't know what kind of temperament he is? This can be seen from the fact that while the other party is busy with the work at hand, he also struggles to create a foundation to take the initiative to raise funds. To be honest, although this group of upstarts in Yan City have made their fortunes not long ago, most of them are much older than Lin Jingzhe, and they are willing to take Lin Jingzhe as the leader, except that the development speed and scale of the real estate industry are second to none among the cutting-edge companies. Perhaps it is because of the subconscious desire for high purity in human nature.
Seeing Xiao Chi squinting at Lin Jingzhe Lin Jingzhe's side, Dai Gaofeng followed the probe to take a look, and then regained his senses because of Xiao Chi's extremely cold voice: "Who is that person?"
Just now, he had been sticking to Lin Jingzhe for a long time, and while talking, his eyes were looking at Lin Jingzhe. After Lin Jingzhe left, he actually chased after him for a while, making him and Lin Jingzhe so close.
It took a while for Dai Gaofeng to identify it: "That's Li Dafa, the boss of Dafa Construction. He has two plots in the north of the city that are well located and not small in size. It seems that Lin Jingzhe's circle, which he entered only a few days ago, is chasing after him all day long. I want to flatter after Lin Jingzhe's butt. Haha, it's a pity that he's not a woman, otherwise I'd have given up my life long ago."
Xiao Chi lowered his eyes slightly, and gently stroked the beads on his wrist with his fingers.
Dai Gaofeng felt the coolness emanating from him, and was a little helpless for a while. Some time ago, he saw that the relationship between the two had become harmonious, and today I don't know why it returned to freezing point. Recalling the state when the other party and Lin Jingzhe entered the arena together today, he couldn't help but persuade him worriedly: "Xiao Chi, today is different from the past, Mr. Lin is no longer the little scoundrel who just arrived in Yan City. He There are a large group of people around now, all of whom are well-known in Yan City. After the development of the north of the city is completed, these people will definitely join the alliance and be on the same front as President Lin. Don't fight with you because of a little grudge. Come."
Xiao Chi didn't speak, his eyes fixed on chasing Lin Jingzhe to the other side, Dai Gaofeng didn't dare to look at his radiant gaze, so he had to continue: "It's best if you two can take a step back, to be honest, neither do you either. It's a loss, although the family name is Lin, the entire Shen family is standing behind. Even if it's not his own son, don't you understand the attitude of Shen Juanying and Shen Tiantian?"
Shen Juanying is now talking about Lin Jingzhe when she is outside, directly my son is long and my son is short, and it is obvious that she is supporting the other party. With this relationship, even if the other party was not born in the compound, it is justifiable to enter their circle.
Xiao Chi didn't speak, there was a fragrant wind next to him, and there was a woman's soft and melodious voice: "Mr. Xiao, can I give you a toast?"
He glanced at the other party, it was a girl who didn't know who was brought by.
Xiao Chi politely touched the glass and ignored her. The girl stood for a while, really speechless, and finally left in embarrassment. Dai Gaofeng pulled away from the topic about Lin Jingzhe just now, and looked at this scene with a funny look: "Okay, you are about to get married, but it's different. Such a good-looking girl doesn't talk to others."
Xiao Chi didn't bother to pay any attention to him at all. He looked at Lin Jingzhe's back from a distance, and after taking a sip of the wine in the glass, he felt that it was boring and put it down.
"Is the wedding date set? When will the wine be served?" Dai Gaofeng continued to ask.
This question finally gave Xiao Chi some attention. He calmly replied, "On November 6th, when the wedding invitation arrives, I will deliver it to your house in person."
"Hey! Good!" Dai Gaofeng was overjoyed. After starting a family and starting a family, a man can experience a complete life only after starting a family and starting a business. Xiao Chi is also his junior. Watching the juniors become adults, even if it is not a matchmaker for his uncle, Dai Gaofeng is also happy to see it succeed.
"Guests—good evening—"
The voice of someone on the podium starting to organize activities, Dai Gaofeng likes to do this, and their group of middle-aged men like to be lively. The host jumped around on the stage and gathered everyone around. Xiao Chi's vision was gradually blocked. Realizing that Lin Jingzhe really didn't seem to want to coax him, he silently retracted his gaze to find the other party.
The people around him only thought he was unhappy because of the land that was trapped in Wubao Mountain, and they didn't dare to provoke him, so that there were few people within half a meter around him. The host on the stage is very effective, knowing that the group of entrepreneurs under the stage are calm and sophisticated on weekdays, and in order to liven up the atmosphere, they play several games. Several of the younger bosses in the audience were invited to play some boring sticker game with lights off. Xiao Chi felt boring after listening to the rules for a while.
There was a pile of things in his head, and he looked around, trying to find a place to go out and hide in a quiet corner to rest.
However, just at this moment, the game started, and the host gave an order, and the staff at the venue turned off all the lights in the venue.
The brightly lit scene suddenly fell into the silent darkness. The loud cheers and the screams pierced Xiao Chi's brain. Duan smelled a familiar aura that he couldn't mistake when it turned into ashes.
His lips were hot, and the chaotic noise seemed to be cut off by an invisible barrier. Xiao Chi subconsciously opened his mouth and embraced the other person, opening his eyes while opening his mouth. There was almost no extra light in the dark venue, but Lin Jingzhe's eyes seemed to be filled with a whole galaxy.
"Hahahaha-" The lights came on, and the invited guests on the stage were really ugly, and there was a burst of fierce laughter in the audience.
The middle-aged and elderly person of Dai Gaofeng was poked at the point of laughter, and he was almost unable to straighten his back with laughter. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly noticed the changes around him, and looked at Lin Jingzhe who suddenly appeared in surprise: "Jingzhe? You? When were you here?"
"Uncle Dai." A thief's hand slipped from his waist to his butt, Lin Jingzhe smiled very naturally, "I was here early in the morning."
The surroundings were crowded with people, Lin Jingzhe and Xiao Chi stood tightly together, and the distance between them was inseparable. Dai Gaofeng glanced at Xiao Chi with his head down and stared at Lin Jingzhe as if he had placed an entire explosion source in his eyes. He couldn't help but let out a dry laugh.
After the dinner, Xiao Chi went to drive first, Lin Jingzhe stayed behind, and was dragged by Dai Gaofeng and said a lot of things.
"It's so fateful. I never thought that Jing Zhe was Professor Lin's son. I've heard a lot about you before. No wonder I felt kind when I first saw you." Before arriving in Yan City, the people in the courtyard were talking about the son of Shen Juanying's remarriage husband's family, but they never heard anything good, but Dai Gaofeng didn't blush, "God destined us to be relatives! "
Lin Jingzhe didn't think that the other party showed emotions such as a good face when they met for the first time, he smiled very friendly: "Me too, the first time you saw Uncle Dai, you felt kind, and Aunt Shen also mentioned it to me privately. You have been many times."
For example, the other party's eldest son is too old to be out of his mind to snatch dance girls outside, or the other party's poor academic performance when he was young was a mess, and the history of being beaten by his parents every day, it's hard to count down, Shen Juanying's original The words are as follows-
"Jing Zhe, you must not follow him and not learn well!"
"Hahaha? It turns out that Guanying often mentions me at home?" Dai Gaofeng was very happy to hear this, and he became emotionally close to Lin Jingzhe for a while, "Since this is the case, everyone will be a family in the future. If there is any difficulty in life, you can talk to Uncle Dai! Uncle Dai is old and has no idea. He just thinks that these children in our compound will be safe and smooth in the future, don't talk to Qi... Alas. Just like him, if you engage in infighting, your own people will fight you to the death."
Lin Jingzhe nodded and said, "I understand."
"It's good to understand, good boy." Lin Jingzhe has always been reasonable and smart, Dai Gaofeng believed that the other party had understood what he had said so far. A slap didn't make a sound, Lin Jingzhe was willing to take a step back, and Xiao Chi's side would do the work again, and the conflict between the two sides could be resolved by taking advantage of the situation. He was so relieved that he couldn't help but ask pleasantly, "I heard from your father and your aunt Shen that you are going to get married soon?"
Lin Jingzhe nodded.
"Good! Good! The marriage is good. Uncle Dai will give you a big red envelope at that time, congratulations on starting a family!" The children's lives were successful one by one. Come out, "Is it in November? What day is it in November?"
"On the 6th, on the 6th of November." Lin Jingzhe glanced at his watch and felt that Xiao Chi's car should be almost driven, so he said goodbye with a smile, "The red envelopes are all secondary, it is a great gift for you to come here. , I'll make a special toast to you at that time. It's not early, so I'll leave first."
It was half a beat late for Dai Gaofeng to remember to say goodbye to Lin Jingzhe. When he opened his mouth, the other party's back was already far away.
October, November 6th…
He recalled, double-checking it ten times, and finally determined that he had heard the wrong date.
OMG! His head started to hurt, are these young people really concerned? Do you have to sing the opposite stage to this point? What happened to the elders of the Shen family and Xiao family? How could they be so foolish? !
The big talk was too early, and Lin Jingzhe invited him very sincerely. Dai Gaofeng fell into a crazy tangle, what should I do? How to do
Where should I go to eat on the sixth? At Xiao Chi's place, Shen Juanying's family must be unhappy, but if they go to Shen's house, Xiao Chi's side will be completely offended!
Having never encountered such a tangled multiple-choice question in his life, Dai Gaofeng scratched his head and licked his hair.
At least until the problem is figured out, his hair loss problem will not be cured.
*****
Lin Jingzhe looked at Xiao Chi's head shaking with the vibration of the car body with a funny look: "Aren't you angry anymore?"
"Not angry." Xiao Chi still refused to admit it.
Lin Jingzhe touched his lips that were sore from being sucked in in the dark just now. He was both angry and funny. Although Xiao Zuo was very happy and hurt his body, Xiao Chi made a big headache from time to time. Now that the other party has worked hard, he is embarrassed to admit that he lost his temper just now, as if it was someone else who was so proud that the pigtails were lifted up after the kiss in the venue.
This time it was a public kiss, how can I coax it back next time? Lin Jingzhe felt like he had brought a child with him, and he had to keep buying him toys and reading bedtime stories before he could be obedient.
The night in the compound was the quietest. Summer insects were chirping among the branches and trees. The two of them rarely had leisure time. They got out of the car and looked at the bright starry sky that Yan City could still see clearly.
Lin Jingzhe sighed, "Gao Sheng and Zhou Haitang are really just my buddies."
Xiao Chi grabbed his hand and held it in his hand. It was very rare for Lin Jingzhe to talk to the other party about his childhood, everything Zhou Haitang and Gao Sheng's family did for him in childhood, even in a few 20 years. Impossible to forget. Hu Yu and Zhou's mother replaced the role of mother that should have appeared in his life, Gao Sheng and Zhou Haitang are better than brothers, without the fetters of blood, they are still closely tied together by emotions. To put it badly, in Lin Jingzhe's heart, the Gao family and the Zhou family are more like family in the true sense than Jiang Chacha and Lin Runsheng.
Jiang Qia didn't need to say more. Although Lin Runsheng was not a bad father, in his two lifetimes together, Lin Jingzhe probably didn't say anything to him about an ordinary father and son for a day. When he was most vulnerable and most in need of help, it was the Zhou family and the Gao family who supported him to tide over the difficulties. Until now, when Hu Yu used to ask Gao Sheng to bring him the hot cakes every morning when he was in school, he and Zhou The mother economy is very embarrassed and still cooks those dishes for himself, Lin Jingzhe still feels warm from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Chi felt uncomfortable when he heard it. Although his parents were busy with work and seldom accompanied him when they were young, at least in daily life, these two roles always existed. However, even so, Xiao Chi and his sister have become what they are today because of too little parental company. It is difficult for him to imagine how a child younger than himself would be alone when his grandfather left his hometown to search for antiques. living in the house.
Lin Jingzhe felt the strength of the opponent's hand tighten, and turned to meet Xiao Chi's deep frown. He couldn't help but smile: "What are you doing?"
In fact, now that he thinks about it, it may be that the hard time has passed, and he feels that the days of his childhood have become quite enjoyable. He has Gao Sheng and Zhou Haitang to protect him, so he can eat wherever he goes when he is hungry. When my grandfather was not looking for antiques, Li Yun's old house was not so empty. Although my aunt and uncle have always disliked him, they have not been able to get what they wished for in this life.
All the difficulties he once thought he would not be able to bear, he gritted his teeth and persisted for a while. When he looked back, it had become a worthless ladder that he had stepped on down the mountain.
Xiao Chi apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry."
Lin Jingzhe was held in his arms by him, and he couldn't help laughing twice as he watched the moths fluttering around under the street lamp. In fact, he didn't reject Xiao Chi's occasional temper tantrums, and it was quite interesting to do so from time to time.
But he didn't expect that those memories that he felt warm would make those who listened so sad, Lin Jingzhe changed the subject and sold his teammates without hesitation: "Do you know how many people are watching the Wubaoshan land in your hand? That Dafa Building Mr. Li Dafa, who has been there all night, guessing when your company will go bankrupt, teach him a lesson as soon as possible, he is so annoying to me."
Xiao Chi heard about this? He immediately wrote down the name silently, and tipped Lin Jingzhe: "Tonight, the Jinxin real estate company is also about to bid for land. You should pay attention to the manpower in your company. The person in charge of their surnamed Jin has an opinion on your company's future intentions. very interested."
The two exchanged information about the enemy's camp before Xiao Chi remembered who Li Dafa was and asked with a frown, "Is the Li Dafa you said the one who has been following you tonight?"
As soon as Lin Jingzhe heard this, he knew that the other party was jealous again, and he learned to ask: "You still ask me, I want to ask you, are you drinking with a girl tonight? The chest is big and the waist is thin. Pretty."
Xiao Chi was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't remember, Lin Jing was dormant for a day, but he was not willing to give up: "Don't pretend to be confused with me, the one in red and wearing a long skirt is still standing next to you and telling you. After a few sentences, please explain it to me!"
Xiao Chi was sweating thinly on his forehead, and his temples were hurting. He felt as if something happened and he couldn't remember who the other party was. He was in a hurry and couldn't explain it.
Back and forth, in the sour vinegar smell, the two were sticky and greasy together and held each other accountable.
Lin Jingzhe pulled back a round, and a smile finally appeared on his face. There was a small sound from the Shen family's alley, and it was estimated that someone had come out. Lin Jingzhe planned to check his father's condition first, so he hugged Xiao Chi's neck and kissed it. The other party will do it again, and then take it out.
He said, "you go home first, and I'll go back after I finish watching my dad."
Xiao Chi put his arms around his waist and rubbed his nose: "It's okay, I'll pick you up later."
The two separated reluctantly, and as soon as they turned around, the atmosphere fell into a long stagnation.
The two figures stood side by side not far away, staring blankly at the young man who had just separated, like two ancient statues.
Because Lin Runsheng drank too much, Zhou's mother, who deliberately drove the other party home, turned her unbelievable gaze from Xiao Chi's face to the other party's shadow that was stretched by the street lights and grew a lot longer than normal people after a long time. : "???"
Accompanying his wife, Zhou's father, who is in a trance and in urgent need of scraping: "… "
Lin Jingzhe, who was completely unprepared: "!!!"
Xiao Chi: "= ="
