Facing Ye Ji'an's business-like attitude, Roman did not change his mind, "We really need to talk, it won't take long, of course you can go back to the meeting." He also put down the cup and wiped the milk cap on his lips, "Haha, actually I Just got out of the detention center, but arrived in Beijing three days ago."
Ye Ji Anxin said that you came prepared, but it seemed to be quite sincere, "Yeah." He nodded.
"Shawn and you have already lived together. I've seen them all, so you don't have to lie to me," Roman raised his eyes and added, "In the past three days, from the time you walked out of this gate to the time you entered the house, you've been together."
Ye Jian raised his eyebrows, "So you're just following us. It's the same as you are in Moscow."
Roman leaned back in his chair comfortably, "Don't be nervous, I didn't take pictures, and I don't want to help you come out."
Ye Ji'an propped her elbows on her knees and raised her chin, "Didn't you already help?"
Roman's expression was as if he hadn't heard this, "Shawn doesn't want to see me, I know, but since I saw you, I think I can say something to help you get to know him."
"Help me? It's not necessary."
"You've only known each other for half a year, and it's only for a short time after he returned to China, isn't it?" Roman smiled, "You know all his hobbies, habits, many aspects of his personality, and past experiences... Have you met his family? "
The first few items are nothing. Ye Ji'an always believes that the process of gradually understanding is also a kind of fun. Just like Liang Xiao can't know everything about him, isn't mutual excavation and acceptance a necessary condition for love? He was in no hurry. It's just the last one, he was a little nervous when he heard it, "Have you seen it?"
"Of course," Roman nodded, "his father came to visit us every year, and he took me to his mother and brother's cemetery in New York. We were very much in love. If it hadn't happened, he would have been with me sooner or later. Marriage proposal."
"Is that so." Ye Ji'an looked at him intently.
Roman was a little uncomfortable at being stared at, and touched the tip of his nose, "Do you know what it is?"
"Why you have been arrested for so many years, you should know better than me," Ye Ji'an said calmly, "What does this have to do with Liang Xiao, and how much trouble and unhappiness it has caused him, you should also better than me."
Roman was stunned.
Ye Ji'an added: "You know his family so well, you must know what happened to his mother, but you still touch him and gather a bunch of people to tie your wrists at his house? You love each other? When you do this kind of thing Remember that you love him too?"
His articulation is too clear, and his speech speed is also fast. Thanks to the spoken language honed in his daily work, his tone is still not ups and downs, and he is so calm that he seems to be out of the way. I saw that Roman opened his mouth, lowered his head, and sullenly made a hot cocoa, "I didn't expect you to be the strong type."
"It doesn't matter which category," Ye Ji'an glanced at his watch. "The key is that you are still telling me about your romance. As I said, I don't want to spend my work time on it."
"Of course it's important," Roman said earnestly. "Shawn can't be around powerful people, because he's a control freak who never gives in, to the point of morbidity, really."
Ye Ji'an smiled, "Even if we break up, there's no need to hurt others and not ourselves."
"I'm not joking." Roman finally sat up straight, "It was just like this before, when I came back from outside, he must ask me where I went, and when I make new friends, he must know and get to know me well. He has to pay attention to all the social accounts of his classmates. If my phone rang in the middle of the night and I didn’t answer, he would call back to find out who was on the other side. I basically have no personal space, and he almost set a position on me. "
Ye Ji'an's expression was indifferent and unmoved, "But haven't you succeeded? In terms of lying to him, you can only say that you are talented."
Roman's face turned pale from the choke, "I regret it."
Ye Ji'an took a sip of coffee, "Oh."
Roman suddenly raised his voice, "But doesn't this also prove that he loves me? He is afraid of losing me, afraid of leaving me, very afraid."
Ye Ji Anxin said that you are still addicted to recalling the past, "This is the past tense."
Roman suddenly smiled, "What about now? Did he do this to you?"
Ye Ji'an shrugged, "No. After a failed relationship, of course I have to learn a lesson." He also smiled, his eyebrows and eyes curved softly, "It turns out that worrying about gains and losses does not lead to happiness, Liang Xiao is so smart, and it's hard to start over. , of course, try to learn to trust each other with me, he is also mature and won't do the thankless things that little boys like. Maybe I can give more sense of security."
Roman bit his lip and stared at Ye Jian.
Ye Ji'an sighed to himself: "It's really too painful to repeat the same mistakes. He doesn't want to suffer so much, and I won't let him suffer."
Roman's eyes were red, and his lake blue eyes were watery, "You don't have the right to say that... We are both in love for the first time, and we all make mistakes. Yes, I have caused him very serious injuries, but he It also surprised me! I came out, made so many calls, sent so many emails, waited every day, all preparations were made, I didn't expect him to even see me once, when he called me It's like he doesn't know me. In Moscow, you've already been dating, right? That's it, as long as you make a mistake or something doesn't suit his mind, he will abandon you without hesitation. He is indifferent by nature. Love the new and hate the old, there is no such thing as nostalgia. Shawn is such a person. You know what? Are you not afraid?"
"Why do people find guilt for themselves?" Ye Ji'an asked back.
Roman looked confused.
Ye Ji'an frowned and looked at him sincerely, "There is a limit to what people can suffer. Obviously, he can't stand the kind of damage you caused, so why torture himself? Worrying about sudden death, why sacrifice your rest time to meet and quarrel with you? It can only be said that even without me, he is not yours."
Roman was speechless.
Ye Ji'an continued to improve his logic chain, "I understand what you said, but if I do something stupid in the future, to the point where it is irreversible, Liang Xiao will break up with me neatly and treat me as a stranger, and I will never do it again. No matter how sad you regret, you have to accept it, you don’t need to remind me now.”
"I don't think we can't get it back." Roman lowered his head and covered his eyes.
Ye Ji'an was a little annoyed. He didn't want to talk too much, as if he was bullying a child, but he was really upset when he faced this so-called love rival who didn't understand. He just wanted to talk straight, so he seemed a little impatient. "Respecting love and righteousness is a virtue, and showing off is also a kind of psychology that everyone has, so you come and talk to me now, although I don't like to hear it, but I respect it," he paused, then said, " Liang Xiao, of course he loved you, he loved you very much. You have already given me an example to prove it. In fact, no one wants to deny it. This can only prove that he is a person who takes his relationship seriously. Now that you find the company, everything you do is to make him hate you, even hate you, and if he does, you can't blame anyone else."
After that, he stood up again, walked to Roman's side, and patted his shoulder, which was trembling slightly, "If you can still hear it, I advise you to think carefully about how you treated him in the past. In this way, don't just think about how many people you have lost, think about whether you are worth it. Last time in Moscow, and today, if you really see him, or if you continue to look for opportunities, you can always meet him. People can stop you. But when you talk, will you feel a little bit of guilt in your heart?"
Roman roared in a muffled voice: "Don't say it!"
Ye Ji'an looked at the gray and cold street outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and said lightly, "I'll go back to the meeting, I won't send it."
As soon as he stepped up, he heard noises behind him. Roman should have stood up, "Director Ye, you don't seem to be afraid of anything. Then do you care about your relationship being known by your colleagues?"
Ye Ji'an didn't look back at all, "It doesn't matter to me, I think it's a matter of time, but you have to ask if Liang Xiao is willing or not. We haven't discussed this issue yet."
After saying that, he just left.
He walked smoothly, and in the short meeting after that, he also played normally, and arranged a few trivial matters before letting the employees celebrate. Valentine’s Day has an advantage. Couples have very legitimate reasons to stick together sweetly and do nothing else. Even if they are single, there are so many discounts in shopping malls, so many blockbusters in cinemas, and there are many choices to enjoy themselves. , Therefore, although the whole department ran away collectively, no one stayed and worked overtime actively, leaving Ye Ji'an alone in his glass office, watching today's market.
The market was closed a long time ago, and he didn't have time to look at the stocks he bought during his working hours. At the moment, he saw a lot of red stocks, and one of them had reached the daily limit. In this sad green market, he seemed beaming, but he had no sense of surprise in his heart. . The professional nature is here, and the little money he invested is like playing. Even if he makes a lot of money, it will only relieve the pressure on the mortgage, and will not relieve his urge to die every day.
It's not quite accurate to say that. Ye Ji'an seldom thinks about the profound proposition of death recently. He just wants to die now, this second, and the next second. It was past 5:40, he turned off the lights, a large department took up half of the floor, and the corridors, workstations and pantries in the inner corridor were dark, and the outside, such as his office with floor-to-ceiling windows, came in. The orange-red sunset also looked dark.
Ye Ji'an stared at the blob of red with no temperature in the high buildings, silently pondering, he was waiting, Vietnamese restaurants were waiting, wide-angle lenses were waiting, Valentine's Day was also waiting. There is no news about Liang Xiao now, but he will definitely come, so what's the hurry? He just kept recalling the conversation in the cafe. What he was like at the time, he used his eloquence, and he took out the aggressiveness he learned from the university debate team, and he was just as arrogant as a boy. It seems reasonable and well-founded, but in fact there is no apparent rationality at all - because he is really, very, very upset!
Ye Ji'an realized that he was jealous, and since eating at three o'clock until now, it's a big jar.
For example, family members, because it touches the sadness of the two, so they don't like to mention it, let alone meet, he doesn't even know who Liang Xiao's father is, and he doesn't say a word; another example is that kind of control. , Possessive, Ye Ji'an doesn't actually dislike it, but is a little worried that Liang Xiao's sense of proportion will always make Liang Xiao tired and cautious; oh yes, there is also the saying of first love, first love, first love you head! Ye Ji'an gulped down the cold Dahongpao so that he could calm down, but he couldn't stop shouting in his heart, whoever fell in love first was meaningless, and whoever fell in love at the end was the real skill!
All in all, jealousy is really terrifying. Ye Ji'an sat there looking like he had already packed his hair and sprayed perfume for the date, but his heart was turbulent and his bones were stuck in his throat.
Even the most urgent task - if Roman really exposed the matter, so that the whole company would know, how Liang Xiao would react, whether he should stop it and how to stop it, he couldn't figure it out.
The computer went black at some point, and Ye Ji'an didn't bother to open it again. He flipped over his phone in a distraction. Only then did he see that the newcomer's visit was over in the company group. The bus left on time at four and was expected to arrive at the company at six.
It's already six o'clock.
Ye Ji'an opened the dialogue window with Liang Xiao. The last one was a luxurious box lunch that Liang Xiao took for him during the lunch break. There were six dishes. Crying face.
Now he asks: Is it almost there
Again: Don't worry about the gift, eat first, and after a day of tossing, have you fainted from hunger
The last one is: I'm so hungry [crying face]
As a result, the reply was not received, and Liang Xiao called directly in, "Senior, are you still in the company," it sounded like running, "The company has a power outage!"
Ye Ji'an felt a little like waking up from a dream, as if he heard this voice, his soul that had been floating all afternoon really fell to the ground, "I was there, but I turned off the lights and didn't notice, where are you?"
"I'm climbing the stairs—" Liang Xiao seemed to laugh, "There's still two floors left, don't move."
Then he hung up the phone.
Ye Ji'an stood up abruptly, put on his coat and put on his bag. Indeed, the air conditioner was stopped, but he only felt the coldness now. I went straight to the glass door of the department. Fortunately, the credit card system is independently powered and can still be used now. As soon as he locked the door, he heard a cracking sound not far behind him. It was the sound of the fire door opening and closing. Before he had time to turn around, he was hugged from behind. is ice.
"It's so cold! The bus air conditioner is broken." Liang Xiao rubbed his back collar, but the bridge of his nose was sweating.
Ye Ji'an touched the two hands that were wrapped around his waist, which were also warm. It was only about the thirty-story building just now, and Liang Xiao was obviously in a hurry, "Just tell me to go down!"
"The corridor is so dark, I want to accompany the seniors." Liang Xiao hugged him and climbed into the fire stairs again, breathing evenly, smiling contentedly.
Ye Ji'an also laughed, the corridor was really dark, the airtight environment and the lights were all turned off, Ye Ji'an just felt like an old hen, because old hens have night blindness. But he was held by Liang Xiao, and he didn't even need to touch the armrests. The hunger of the two was put aside. It was like a private walk. Liang Xiao gently talked about the day's experiences, and Ye Ji'an listened quietly. Don't talk about talking about Roman, he doesn't even want to interrupt, to say anything, he thinks it's an untimely destruction.
They are all people who are sensitive to numbers. When they go down to the first floor, Liang Xiao naturally pushes the door. Ye Ji'an also happens to count to this floor, and no one will accidentally hit the ground. It was also dark outside, but the light from the street lamps shone into the spacious and transparent lobby, into the cafe, and met two security guards, but Liang Xiao did not let go of Ye Ji'an's hand.
No hesitation, maybe not even thinking, as if it had become a habit. The automatic door was on strike, and so was the revolving door. The two of them went to push the heavy door on the side. When the cold wind came, Ye Ji'an saw the red Bugatti, bright and clean, parked horizontally under the flagpole.
Liang Xiao turned his face and looked into Ye Ji'an's eyes, still smiling, "Senior's gift can't be late, it's in the car."
