The list of the Spring Recruitment Team was quickly notified and sent to the mailboxes of the heads of various departments. At that time, Ye Ji'an had recovered. .
He was not surprised. When Liang Xiao talked about it with anticipation, he almost guessed the result. From another perspective, Liang Xiao is young, has experience in studying abroad, and has excellent foreign language skills. He is indeed suitable for this job. As a supervisor, there are many vacancies in his department this year, so it is not unreasonable to check in the past.
The line starts in Massachusetts, goes south through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, and then goes north after a circle, and the last stop is New York. The time starts in early April and is planned to last for three weeks.
For someone like him who has business trips for at least three months a year, staying outside for more than ten days is nothing, but the preparatory work is more troublesome. Although the visa is handled by the company, the air ticket and hotel are the general department. It's all inclusive, but Ye Ji'an has to explain the ongoing work in the department clearly, lest when he goes out, his deputy can't make up his mind when something happens, and his home will be a mess.
At the same time, it was not easy to pack up. Ye Ji'an set aside three nights to do this. Liang Xiao was very open. Ye Ji'an did not agree. He took the vertical iron and ironed more than 20 shirts, seven or eight suits, and ten ties, half of which were his own and half of Liang Xiao's, and then folded one by one, neatly Put it in the suitcase.
"I may be a little obsessive-compulsive." He pinched the fat waist of his pajamas and showed his results to Liang Xiao, who had just taken a bath. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sleep."
"Then I'll shine my shoes." Liang Xiao volunteered.
"You'd better go to sleep," Ye Ji'an hugged him and fell onto the bed, facing each other and playing together, "We'll talk about it tomorrow."
The day before the departure, Ye Ji'an held a short meeting at 5 o'clock as usual, and no overtime was arranged. Everyone happily packed up and went home for the Qingming holiday. The general manager has recently been looking for new people to chat one by one. , Ye Ji'an was waiting for him in the office before he came back.
At 5:40, he received a text message: I'm working in Beijing these two days, the hotel is in the center of Hong Kong and Macau, and your company is diagonally opposite. Are you free to meet
Sender: Ye Zhihong.
Ye Ji'an looked at his brother's name and was a little surprised. After thinking about it for a while, he replied, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. I'm only free tonight, so I'll be at the coffee shop downstairs at six o'clock."
Ye Zhihong: OK.
Ye Ji'an exited the interface and sent another message to Liang Xiao: My younger brother is here to run errands, maybe he wants to chat with me, if you don't see me when you come back, I'll stay in the cafe downstairs.
Liang Xiao didn't reply, and it was estimated that he was still forced to have a long talk with the general manager of Huantu to accept earnest teachings. Ye Ji'an arranged his hair and neckline according to the glass wall, put on the leather bag, and went downstairs.
He didn't tell Liang Xiao "find me when the time comes", but he didn't say that he couldn't, because he felt that this should be left to Liang Xiao to choose. As for whether to meet his brother, Ye Ji'an didn't know Liang Xiao's thoughts, so he Don't want to put him in a passive position.
In fact, Ye Ji'an was going to make a quick decision. He and Ye Zhihong actually had nothing to say, and there was no need to eat together. He also wanted to try the newly opened Cantonese restaurant with Liang Xiao.
When he swiped his card from the gate and walked through the hall, he saw that Ye Zhihong had already arrived, picked a booth by the window, and was waiting for him.
They haven't seen each other for more than ten years. They can only know each other's appearance changes from the photos. After the two greeted each other, they kept silent on both sides of the table, and spent at least dozens of seconds observing each other.
"Still so busy?" Ye Zhihong broke the silence and poured fruit tea for Ye Ji'an.
"It's alright." Ye Ji'an took a sip, it was too sweet and had a lingering taste.
The two just chatted casually. When it comes to the company's vacation, the parents' health, and the child's further education, Ye Zhihong doesn't seem to be in a hurry. Maybe it's just that after so many years, everything has faded. Including his disdain for Ye Ji'an. When he got to the door, he remembered that he had an older brother, and he began to wonder if he should meet like that.
However, most of the time, Ye Ji'an just listened and didn't feel anything. Until later, Ye Zhihong asked him, "Are you accompanied? Or alone?"
"Haha, no," Ye Ji'an put down the phone, Liang Xiao just came to reply, said "I know", it was almost half past six, he looked up at his brother again, "I'm with my colleague. "
Ye Zhihong was slightly surprised, "How old are you?"
"Twenty-seven, she still looks tender," Ye Ji'an smiled, "I'm under a lot of pressure."
Ye Zhihong raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then you have to pay attention. Take it home and show it to your parents when you have time."
Ye Ji'an confirmed that he heard it right, but this is obviously the master who is not willing to pay for money back home, and I wish there was no such person in the family. "Hey, are you serious?" Still joking.
"They all really want to see you," Ye Zhihong lowered his head and looked at his crossed hands on the table, "I was the one who made trouble during the New Year, old man, I don't know when he will be gone, you If you are free, take yours back and let them rest assured."
Ye Ji'an didn't answer, didn't say anything, just drank tea silently.
He doesn't want to accuse anyone of hypocrisy or argue with anyone, just a lack of enthusiasm. Anyone can have the mentality of showing off. For example, he is living well now. For example, he has Liang Xiao. Of course, he wants to show it to the world. He also feels that he has a responsibility to visit his parents before they pass away. The city where I grew up, the compound where I grew up, the family building...
Ye Ji'an still drinks tea.
Ye Zhihong's expression became more and more embarrassing, "Think about it, is this the truth?"
Ye Ji'an narrowed his eyes. He didn't want to embarrass the other party, so he felt that he should say something. As soon as he opened his mouth, someone called him, "Senior!" Immediately after, Liang Xiao walked over quickly and stood by the side of the tea table.
"After talking for about 50 minutes, the general manager is really good." Ye Ji'an glanced at his watch and gave up the seat next to him.
Liang Xiao took his seat in no hurry, "Hello, my surname is Liang." He bowed and shook hands across the table.
Ye Zhihong stood up, his legs were not straight, he casually squeezed a hand, and flicked his wrist to release, "Your colleague?"
"Well, the twenty-seven-year-old one," Ye Ji'an lost the desire to speak again, and stood directly beside Liang Xiao with his bag, "We have to go, the restaurant reservation will be automatically cancelled if you arrive half an hour late."
He also took Liang Xiao's hand, "I will think about it carefully. I will definitely be with him at that time."
Ye Zhihong was stunned.
Afterwards they said goodbye to each other, still rusty and polite. But there is some progress, right? Or progress. Ye Ji'an and Liang Xiao walked side by side on the zebra crossing. There was only a trace of the setting sun. The scent of locust wafted in the tail. Inviting, I am not someone who will seriously consider going home.
They were almost late for the flight the next day. Ye Ji'an was annoyed that he couldn't hear the alarm clock. On the first day of the holiday, the Fifth Ring Road was particularly congested. Fortunately, Liang Xiao's Xiaobu could keep up with the trip. After driving back, the two of them hurriedly hurried. After all the procedures were completed, they sat in the seats five minutes before the end of the boarding time.
They were all first-class cabins. Ye Ji'an sat here in accordance with regulations, while Liang Xiao asked Xiao Li to make up the money in advance. There were no occupants in the surrounding seats, only the flight attendant came up to greet him, and there was no one in line at the boarding gate just now. At that time, he attributed it to being too late, and everyone had already boarded. At this time, Ye Ji'an thought about it, it's not surprising that there is no one in this cabin, and the crew members of other departments are not on this flight. At this time, Beijing to Boston is not a popular route, and direct flights are expensive and first-class. It never sells. But wouldn't it be better? The young man just happened to be able to do something else, just like a special plane. Even if he was hugged by Liang Xiao and sticky all the time, he would not have any concerns.
After all, at least a 13-hour voyage, just for work and sleep, would be too miserable.
After taking off, Liang Xiao asked for a blanket to cover Ye Ji'an's lap, while he focused on typing on the keyboard. Ye Ji'an blatantly peeked at the screen from the side, and when he saw that others were working, he was embarrassed to fish, and found the bad debts thrown by the planning department. For some reason, he vaguely felt that Liang Xiao was being happy, but this person always refused to laugh, so he looked at the screen with such a calm mind, which shook Ye Ji'an's conjecture.
A few minutes passed, dozens of minutes passed, and Ye Ji'an felt more and more strange in his heart, constantly wanting to turn his head to look at the corners of Liang Xiao's raised eyes, and the flickering eyelashes from time to time. This is really too quiet for the plane. Even if there is a distance from the cabin behind it, there is only a curtain in the middle. How can there be no noise
Get up and go to the bathroom, as long as you open the curtain, you can see the situation behind, Ye Ji'an intends to go over and find out. Liang Xiao raised his face to look at him, just squeezed his hand and let him go. Ye Ji'an put his pockets in and walked through the corridor - the business class, empty.
I walked over and came to the economy class, but there was still no one there.
really.
Sure enough? Horror flight? how can that be.
Ye Ji'an told herself that a big event was about to happen, and that thing that you sometimes guessed but never dared to think about, may be about to happen. It should be estimated using the principle of risk control... No, how can this be estimated, he entered the bathroom, looked in the mirror, washed his hands, touched his trouser pocket again, and pushed out the door.
Between the empty seats, Liang Xiao stood in the corridor, waiting for him.
"This plane, I wrapped it up," he walked towards Ye Ji'an calmly, and explained slowly, "Because I have important things to do... so I don't want to be disturbed. I also know that I don't need to say it, senior will definitely found."
"What's the matter?" Ye Ji'an smiled. There were still water droplets on his hands. He even felt that he could catch his surging pulse. Should he stay there, the transition between the two areas, next to the escape channel, was in front of the porthole.
Liang Xiao stood in front of him: "I want to propose to you."
He raised his hand, holding a small velvet box in the palm of his hand, the elegant crab shell green, holding a broken snow.
Ye Jian held his breath.
"Senior, brother," Liang Xiao stared at him, said carefully, and said calmly, "You are willing to accompany me with the rest of your life, love me, and accept my love..."
"Will you be my bride?"
Ye Ji'an took a breath and almost cried out. He was done talking, but he was actually prepared, before he noticed the difference, or even earlier, from the first time they mentioned marriage, to forever. But his heartbeat is still too fast now, which is outrageous than the heartbeat caused by excessive espresso. It can only be said that the impact is much greater than expected. He is really afraid that he can't even speak well. Efforts to appear calm and reliable, Ye Ji'an stretched out his left hand and spread out his five fingers, "I will, of course I will," his voice trembled a little, "Come on!"
Liang Xiao pinched the ring, blushing, and also looked apprehensive, "By the way, I'll get down on one knee first—"
"Don't!" Ye Ji'an grabbed his wrist, aligned himself, and poked his fingertips in, "the rest of it, you can wear it for me."
Liang Xiao looked at it deeply and did it honestly. The size of the ring was just right. He held it and cherished it and rubbed the base of Ye Ji'an's fingers. The center of gravity, the two of them leaned against the wall by the porthole together, but lowered their other hand and digged in their trouser pocket.
"Close your eyes," he said.
"Senior?" Liang Xiao looked at him suspiciously, and seemed dissatisfied with the interruption.
"Close it first, if I say open it, open it." Ye Ji'an clasped his five fingers and arched the tip of his nose. Seeing that he finally closed his eyelids obediently, he took out the things in his pocket and grabbed it. The finger that held Liang Xiao was lightly attached.
The size is also suitable.
He heard the sudden rapid breathing in his ear, but Liang Xiao still closed his eyes.
"Okay, you can open it now." With his right hand down, Ye Ji'an held up his palm with the base of his palm, while his left hand rested on top, overlapping his fingers with him, and held it up to the front of Liang Xiao's eyes. It was cast on the ring fingers of the two that were clinging to each other.
The broken snow turned into two.
"Fortunately, I'm still worried that you will make me look too shabby by getting the kind of dove egg that the local tyrants like." Ye Ji'an sighed in relief, stood on tiptoe, and kissed the lover who had just exchanged rings.
Liang Xiao was still a little confused, ecstatic and speechless. He hugged him tightly and said, "I didn't expect... I thought it was a surprise?"
"It's a surprise, I almost cried just now..." Ye Ji'an buried her face in his neck, rubbed her face, choked her throat, and said straightly, "But do you remember, you told me that if I first If you come, you will not agree, but when I think about it, there is usually only one engagement ring. What will you wear then? How can you leave it empty? Especially recently, I always have a hunch that when I walk on the road, you suddenly say something Let's get married, so I have to prepare in advance, such a small thing, just take it with you, and touch it from time to time to make sure you don't lose it. Now, I took it out later than you, so you can't refuse. "
"You can surprise me, but I can't?" He raised his eyelids again and stared at Liang Xiao steadily.
Liang Xiao smiled suddenly, so tenderly, his dark eyes rippled, but he didn't speak, he just tightened his waist, held his cheek, and kissed him closely. The lingering just continued, the bodies were close to each other, the new ring was gently rubbed on the cheek, Ye Ji'an hugged back, thirsty, absent, crazy, all of them, the kiss gradually became fierce, or let it go, Ye Ji'an's His breathing gradually lost his rhythm. The kilometer altitude made him dizzy, and the man in front of him was even worse. He leaned completely on Liang Xiao with his back facing the porthole. Exotic night.
"Senior left just now, and I followed. When I saw you here, I knew that I had to ask you properly at this moment," Liang Xiao temporarily gave a chance to catch his breath, "Do you still remember this place? ? On the plane, in the connection area, in front of the escape door—"
"Well, I remember, I remember," Ye Ji'an spoke with him against the corners of his lips, his voice soft as if he was telling a secret, his hands were clasped again, he couldn't help it, maybe it was the mutual attraction between diamonds, "We kissed for the first time. The place."
