Chapter 25 Dawn - Good Luck
I haven't seen her for a few months, but Ye Qi has changed a lot. She cut off her hair that was dyed with withered grass, and shaved her head. Today she is wearing a suit for the first time, and the tattoo on the back of her hand is also covered with traumatic stickers.

If you poke it there, it's pretty pure.

Jiang Limei seemed to have seen a ghost: "What are you doing? Are you going to become a monk?"

Ye Qi tugged at the tie around her neck, with an impatient expression on her face: "My family introduced a girl to me, and she was going to get married, but she came from a scholarly family and looked down on me. My father told me to correct my problems. Let's start with the looks."

Jiang Limei teased him: "Is it useful? Isn't your family also a scholarly family, if you can change it, you will change it sooner."

"Shut up."

Jiang Limei laughed, and glanced at the interior accessories of the car. Business models come standard with leather seats and a black gold-painted center console. They are more stylish than practical.In fact, she found out as soon as she got in the car, and asked Ye Qi:
"You just changed this car too? So much money for getting married?"

Ye Qi turned her head and glanced at her: "Am I crazy? I borrowed it, just to discuss business for you tonight. He has seen the world, so don't drop the price too much."

Taking advantage of the traffic lights, Ye Qi briefly talked to Jiang Limei about the situation of the museum project. The person who made an appointment for dinner tonight was the second-in-command, surnamed Yuan, who was an old friend of Ye Qi's father.

Jiang Limei listened quietly, without interrupting, and finally said: "If this order is completed, I will give you 30.00% of the profit, which is not much, but the total profit of this kind of project is not much, please be considerate."

Ye Qi touched her nose calmly, and refused very confidently: ".That's not necessary, I am not short of money."

Not short of money?Who was the one who lost money in business before?
Jiang Limei smiled, noncommittal, her eyes fell on the night outside the car window, protecting the man's indescribable self-esteem with silence.Besides, Jiang Limei's code of conduct is that things that can be solved with money should try not to consume human affection.

In exchange for money, those who receive money work hard, and those who give money are also at ease.

The car drove farther and farther on the Second Ring Road, then turned left at the next traffic light, and drove into the most famous night market street in Ling City.

There are countless Internet celebrity gourmet restaurants located here, attracting many old gourmets and food bloggers to check in. The most overcrowded on this street is a crayfish, with a mighty queue occupying most of the street.

The car stopped at the door of Crayfish.

Jiang Limei unbuckled her seat belt, didn't get out of the car, looked outside in surprise: "Eating crayfish??"

The person was made an appointment by Ye Qi, and the restaurant was also made by Ye Qi. It was originally agreed to meet at six o'clock in the evening, but Ye Qi temporarily changed it to nine o'clock in the evening for supper.

Ask people to discuss business, have supper, or crayfish that are not on the table.Jiang Limei was surprised: "What is this for?"

"What do you know?" Ye Qi straightened her tie, leaned over to the back seat to help Jiang Limei get her bag, and threw it into her arms: "Yuan Bo is from Hunan, and he likes to eat this, and don't make it too formal, they The unit is taboo about this.”

In fact, Jiang Limei was a little surprised. Ye Qi became serious, and she turned out to be a very transparent person.As the old saying goes, one stands at thirty, maybe when a man reaches the age of 30, he will feel a sense of crisis and have to use his brains on livelihood?

The boyfriends she dated in the past were often rated as interesting, seven points for appearance, and four points for economic conditions. As for family background and career, they were completely ignored.

After all, she's not rushing to get married, so what's the matter with her family and career?

In Jiang Limei's eyes, those advantages in the traditional concept of mate selection are not a plus.

Ye Qi got out of the car, walked around to her side, and opened the door for her very gentlemanly.The collar of the sweater is wide, Jiang Limei slipped out her fragrant shoulders when she bent down, Ye Qi glanced at it, and did not forget to sneer:

"Uncle Yuan's family is harmonious, and his family style is upright. If you don't like this, you're dressed for nothing today."

"Go to nm."

Ye Qi was not annoyed when she was scolded, she had a cheeky face, Jiang Limei kept a smile on her face, and scolded Ye Qi to the bottom of her heart, the change she had just made towards him was gone now.

There are many people waiting for a seat at the door, and the number machine keeps calling. They have reserved a seat in advance, and just go directly to the private room.

Ye Qi pushed open the opposite glass door to let Jiang Limei go in, but a man stepped out from inside, he looked drunk, pushed the door on the other side, and didn't see Jiang Limei, the metal handle on the door hit her directly arm.

This blow was quite strong, Jiang Limei snorted and frowned.The glass door was pushed back and forth by inertia.

"Hey buddy, look at the road."

Huang Youhui drank a lot. At this moment, his eyes were fluttering, and he was doubled. He saw a beautiful woman in front of him holding her arms, staggered two steps back, half of her face was covered by black curly hair, and she was half sober immediately.

He clasped his hands together towards Jiang Limei: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry beauty, blame me, blame me."

The person in front of him raised his head, and under the orange light, he had a beautiful face, a palm-sized face with exquisite makeup, but his slender eyebrows were tightly knit.

Huang Youhui was stunned for a while, firstly because the beauty was angry and charming, but because this face looked familiar.

"Forget it, it's okay." Jiang Limei pushed the half door and walked in.

Huang Youhui came back to his senses, apologized again, and stood at the door and shouted to the two people standing outside: "I'm talking about you two, have you finished talking with your confidantes? It's time to leave, Ren Yu, please call a substitute driver, and send grandson off." Ning go home."

Sun Ning had only half-spoken, and being teased by Huang Youhui like this, he couldn't hold back his face, and turned away with a blushing face.

As for Ren Yu, he stood tall and looked at the back of the person who had just entered the door from a distance, his eyes darkened.

.

Jiang Limei actually saw Ren Yu, just when he entered the door, he was standing at the door with a drunken face on his face, as if he was looking in her direction.There was also a girl standing beside him, wearing a denim jacket and a long white skirt, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind.

With Ren Yu's workload, it's not easy to spare time to fall in love, Jiang Limei thought.

She covered the outside of her elbow, touched it lightly, and shook it twice to make sure that she didn't hit the fractured wound.

Ye Qi asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's all right."

Before anyone arrived, they ordered the dishes first, and Ye Qi asked Jiang Limei: "Don't you still have a partner? Are you not coming?"

"Come on, wait a minute."

The crayfish was greasy, and I ordered a pot of chrysanthemum tea in addition to the wine. The aroma of a pot of tea changed from strong to weak, and the person in charge of the museum finally arrived.

It's a little different from Jiang Limei's imagination. The visitor is only sixty years old, dressed casually, with a kind face and no airs. He apologizes as soon as he enters the door:
"Sorry, I'm late."

"Uncle Yuan, I haven't seen you for too long!" Ye Qi went up to meet you.

Seeing that the relationship between the two families is indeed very good, Ye Qi speaks Lingshi dialect, one Yuan Baibai at a time, and the words are frequent and sweet. After a long time, she introduces Jiang Limei:

"Uncle Yuan, this is my good friend with a special relationship. I told you that I started my own cultural and creative company."

Jiang Limei stepped forward with a smile and blurted out "Teacher Yuan".

I used to be a university professor, and I must be proud of it.Ye Qi raised her eyebrows and gave Jiang Limei a thumbs up behind her back.

In fact, Jiang Limei has made a lot of arrangements for a dinner like this, but this time the emphasis is different, and she will inevitably spend more time thinking about it.Wu Yusi had been waiting nearby for a long time. After receiving Jiang Limei's WeChat message, she entered the restaurant. When she entered the private room, she was still dragging a suitcase in her hand. Her coiled hair was blown by the wind and scattered on her forehead. appearance.

Jiang Limei stood up and introduced: "This is Mr. Wu, another partner of our company. He was originally on a business trip in Nancheng. He heard that he would have dinner with you tonight. He bought the nearest air ticket and came here as soon as he landed."

Wu Yusi's smile is brighter than Jiang Limei's. She eats a meal with a brilliant tongue. She never lets her words fall to the ground. She even took out two paper bags from the suitcase at the right time. She said they were Nancheng's special products and brought them back specially. , Teacher Yuan must accept it and try it out.

Long after that meal, Ye Qi asked Jiang Limei, did your colleague just come back from Nancheng?
Jiang Limei chewed gum, raised her eyes and smiled at him: "Nancheng, she has never been to Nancheng since she grew up."

Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, flattery does not wear, and the gift is a wish from a long distance, and I am embarrassed to refuse it.It doesn't matter even if you are seen through, everyone laughs and turns the page.

Jiang Limei thought, how did she develop her thick skin?Part of it is because she has struggled in the past few years since starting a business, and part of it is because she was originally a social cow, and she was like this when she was in school.

got used to.

.

Huang Youhui's happy event is coming, he pays the bill, and no one grabs it.

A group of people bid farewell at the entrance of the hotel, and dispersed separately. Everyone kept their eyes on Ren Yu's car, and Sun Ning obediently followed behind Ren Yu, her broad figure covering half of her shadow.

With worries on his face, Ren Yu frowned, opened the car door, and motioned for her to sit in the back, while he sat in the co-pilot.

The night sky was gray and silent, and the wind picked up after waiting for the valet driver for 15 minutes.

The denim jacket on Sun Ning was actually very thin, so he had to wrap his arms tightly, and stared timidly at the back of Ren Yu's head.No matter what time this man is like a cold spring bamboo, now he is drunk, but he also sits upright, drowning out the little thoughts that sprouted in the night.

But what can I do?She just loves it.

In the past few years, a word has been popular, called intellectual love.Sun Ning thinks this is how she likes Ren Yu.

"Ren Yu, I'm cold."

When Sun Ning said this, his eyes were fixed on the black jacket on Ren Yu's body, but the man who was moved by the words just leaned over to the driver's seat, pressed the button, and the rear window slowly went up.

The wind, cold and dew are isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The inside of the car was very quiet, so quiet that it made people panic. When Sun Ning took a deep breath and spoke again, he couldn't hide his cautiousness: "Ren Yu."

The words were interrupted as soon as they were spoken, and Ren Yu's voice was dull, as if all his emotions had been swept away by the gust of wind just now:

"Sun Ning, I have someone I like."

Sun Ning choked and his heart beat faster: "I know, your first love, but didn't you break up? Then me"

"No breakup." Ren Yu finally made a move. He tilted his head slightly, leaning against the edge of the car window, spreading his palms and pressing his temples: "No breakup, I've never been with her before."

Sun Ning was stunned, not noticing that his voice was trembling: "Then you are still in touch?"

"Have."

Ren Yu is self-disciplined and self-restraining, careful and prudent, he doesn't bother to use alcohol as an excuse to vent his desires, but he has to admit that there seems to be an impulse that doesn't often appear in his veins tonight, some things he usually doesn't want to reveal, but today It seems just right.

"I've had a crush on her since high school, and it's been exactly ten years now. I lost contact for a few years, but she reappeared recently. I didn't think about what type of girl I like, because I don't know how to describe her, she counts as me The standard in your heart, a little more, a little less, will not work."

Sun Ning sniffed: "Why did you lose contact?"

If you really like and care so much, why would you be willing to break contact?

There was a long silence in the car.

Sun Ning was a little proud, it was the pride of catching the test center from the vast sea of ​​questions, but the next second, she heard Ren Yu speak, and her voice was tinged with fatigue:
"I didn't protect her well."

A group of young people came from a distance, looking at the appearance of college students, there were men and women, walking shoulder to shoulder, leaving a string of laughter beside the car.

Ren Yu stared at them in a daze for a long time.

He seldom thinks of Jiang Limei's appearance in school, especially after the reunion, but for some reason, tonight he frequently thinks of Jiang Limei's short haircut in her senior year.

At that time, he was studying in graduate school, and he was so busy every day that he was upside down, but he still took a day every half a month to go back and forth from Lingshi to Yangcheng.

Just to see if she is okay.

At that time, Jiang Limei had already lost contact with her family. The person who never worried about making a living before now has to work multiple part-time jobs in order to buy painting materials and pay dormitory fees.In order to save trouble and time, she simply cut her hair short, and the bicycle is her means of transportation to and from school.

Ren Yu still remembered that once she was riding a bicycle unsteadily and fell on the side of the road, and he was just a few steps away, so she didn't dare to go forward.

He had never felt that kind of bewilderment in his life for the second time.

Who doesn't have a first love?Who doesn't have white moonlight?
The moon is just the moon after all.

Sun Ning straightened up, still unwilling, she asked Ren Yu: "Then all these years, does she know what you want? Does she know that you like her? Has she never had a boyfriend?"

The slender hands rested on the knees, the knuckles of the fingers were distinct, slightly curved, and then slowly flattened.

"Have."

Ren Yu responded dryly, and he remembered that the man who was protecting her at the entrance of the hotel just now should be the one he saw in the hospital last time.

Since he can get her favor, he must have some characteristics that she likes, personality, occupation, or other things.But no matter what, the person she Jiang Limei likes will not be him.

"It's ok."

"What?" Sun Ning didn't hear clearly.

"It's okay, as long as I love her."

What a serious person he is.

At this time, I did not forget to replace "like" with "love".

It was only then that Sun Ning realized that Ren Yu was really too gentle tonight, maybe it was the night that put on his face, when he talked about the person he liked, even his expression and tone were different, as if he was caring for the willow branches that sprouted in early spring With the buds, so carefully.

She had never seen Ren Yu like this before, and her heart trembled, but it was unbearable.

"Ren Yu, do I really have no chance?"

Ren Yu remained silent, and after a long while, he whispered, "Thank you."

Not sorry, but thank you.Because you reject other people's love, you don't need to be sorry.

Sun Ning was confused, he actually defended her to such an extent.

".Brother Ren, please help me get a taxi. You should be alone tonight, so I won't bother you."

Tears rolled in her eyes, but she wanted to maintain what little dignity she had left.

Ren Yu said hello, opened the door and got out of the car.Sun Ning subconsciously wanted to hold Ren Yu's hand, but was blocked by the seat.It turned out that he had kept a distance from her since he got in the car, and he refused to even sit side by side with her.

His tenderness and patience are only for one person.What is left to others is still the alienated and indifferent Ren Yu.

Sun Ning laughed at himself.She finally got a glimpse of Bai Yueguang's lethality today.

However, is the one that can be picked off still called the moon?

She looked at Ren Yujing's back through the car window.

Her moon is completely silent tonight.Well then, good luck to you.
