don't want to miss you
Chapter 1 The Other Side of Time
Chapter 1 The Other Side of Time
After receiving the call from the front desk, Jiang Qiaoan frowned slightly, took the black velvet brocade box at hand, and walked out of the office bravely.
The VIP room is covered with a thick camel-colored carpet, stepping on it quietly, and Jiang Qiaoan seldom wears high heels, so when he walked to the sofa, Yang Jinghan looked away from the gourmet magazine, raised his head and smiled politely at her : "Thank you, Designer Jiang."
This kind of politeness and politeness made Jiang Qiaoan feel even more sorry. He took the lemon soda from his colleague and handed it to him personally: "Sorry, Miss Yang, I kept you waiting."
"Where, I'm here early." Yang Jinghan had two small dimples on his lips, and his voice was sweet, because he was in a really good mood, and he was very talkative, and added with a smile, "My boyfriend has invited you for a long time Accompany me on leave, I will go directly to the hotel at night, and probably won’t be free for a whole day, so come here early to pick it up.”
Jiang Qiaoan put on white gloves, opened the brocade box and pushed it in front of Yang Jinghan: "I'm really sorry, the factory did not follow the drawings completely, and the patterns on the tie clips and cufflinks are slightly different from my design draft, because your list It is already urgent, it was delivered in the morning, and there is not enough time to return to the factory for modification, if you are not satisfied, I will send it back to the factory immediately, and there will not be too long a delay."
After checking the things, Yang Jinghan was very angry. Due to his usual good self-cultivation, he didn't shout loudly, but complained in a low voice: "Although time is tight, I also paid for the expedited fee. How can such a big brand like yours come out?" Such a question! My boyfriend's birthday is today, and the birthday dinner is about to start in a few hours, so how can I make it in time if I send it to be revised now?"
Facing the customer's dissatisfaction, Jiang Qiao'an could only apologize again. In the private customization of high-end jewelry, there are two things that designers fear most. The customer has no idea and is changeable, and the factory does not strictly follow the drawings. A regular customer of Designer Liu who just resigned due to marriage and immigration. Designer Liu was Jiang Qiaoan's senior sister in college.
The customer base of her company is relatively high-end, and almost all of them are members with familiar designers.Rich people always prefer big brands. Since they have bought precious gemstones, they will not hesitate to pay extra design fees to hire famous designers. She has only graduated for a year, and she has only been in the industry for a short time. She has not yet won any important awards. I just returned to this city where I had been away for four years. I have no contacts or fame. Although I got an offer from this big company after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, if I don’t rely on the help of my seniors, it’s really hard to get an offer. difficulty.
The set of collar pins, tie clips, cufflinks and belt buckles that Yang Jinghan ordered, just the three big diamonds he selected are already worth a lot, not to mention that he asked Jiang Qiaoan for the size and asked someone else to order a gold one. The Sinan wooden box is only waiting for the accessories here to be put in the factory. It can be imagined that the importance is attached to it, so her displeasure at the moment is much milder than Jiang Qiaoan's expected reaction.
In fact, Jiang Qiaoan pays more attention to this order than the customer. She has always been strong, and she must do her best in everything. What's more, she has just entered this company, and it is very important to successfully complete the first order to gain trust.The design of men's accessories is more difficult than that of women. It must be simple and not cumbersome, but also unique and not popular. Naturally, it takes a lot of effort to think of it.
Private customization is different from competitions. Success or failure does not depend on whether the work is outstanding but on the customer's satisfaction. She stayed up for a few nights in exchange for Yang Jinghan's praise. Unexpectedly, because of the problems at the factory, the original favor was instantly lost. Reduced to a negative value-customers value only the results, and do not analyze who is responsible.
Yang Jinghan is a perfectionist, he will not easily accept the slightest change, and then return to the factory to modify the time is not allowed, and he can't calm down if he doesn't change it, so he weighed it for a while and said reluctantly: "Forget it, I'm in a hurry, I will get the things first Go back and give it away, and come back later to modify it. The gift you sent out has to be changed again, what is going on!"
Jiang Qiaoan had no choice but to say sorry again.
Yang Jinghan took out the golden nanmu box from the bag, and put the cufflinks and tie clips in the velvet brocade box one by one with his own hands, but his fingernails were too long, and he couldn't get the tie pins after several tries. Qiao'an took over to help.
"I was the one who waited for you in the past. I waited for the whole afternoon. It was so hard for you to wait for me again. I became impatient within a quarter of an hour!" Her voice was so honeyed, she joked coquettishly, " What's the reason for the no-stop zone, if you really get a ticket, it will be counted on my account."
Putting down the phone, Yang Jinghan's previous unhappiness was swept away, and he smiled and praised Jiang Qiaoan who took off his gloves: "Wow, your hands are so beautiful."
Jiang Qiaoan smiled, but didn't answer the call, and couldn't help but envy her—it's nice to be young, probably only girls in their early 20s would be coaxed to smile immediately after a phone call from their boyfriend that took less than 30 seconds.
She handed the wooden box to Yang Jinghan, and was about to get up to see off the guests, when she saw the initials engraved on the lower right corner of the box cover, she couldn't help but startled.
"Designer Jiang?"
Jiang Qiaoan consciously lost his composure, and immediately let go: "Why is the abbreviation on the box different from the one on the accessories?"
"My boyfriend's name is on the box, and his last name and my first name are on the accessories. I want him to wear my name all the time. Is there any problem?"
"I thought I got the initials wrong, it's nothing." Jiang Qiaoan laughed at his boredom. The city is so big, the same birthday and initials are probably just a coincidence.
"Why did you come in!" Yang Jinghan pouted, looking past Jiang Qiaoan, "I want to wait until twelve o'clock to give you a surprise, and the box has not been collected yet."
"Didn't you say you came here to find friends? What a surprise, if you didn't invite a lot of people behind my back, I wouldn't even bother celebrating my birthday."
Jiang Qiaoan looked back, Yang Jinghan's boyfriend walked in at some time, standing in front of the VIP room, smiling and watching his girlfriend acting like a spoiled child, his smile was full of doting, Xu felt that Jiang Qiaoan was there Staring at himself, he glanced casually, and only politely twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he were greeting him.
Rao Jiang Qiao'an was always moody and angry, and he couldn't react for a while, and finally moved his eyes away after a few seconds.
"30 years old is a full birthday, but what can I do, since the surprise is gone, why don't you just wear my present on your body now." Yang Jinghan ran over briskly, grabbed her boyfriend's hand and pulled him over. The two introduced each other, "This is Designer Jiang, and this is my boyfriend Shi Mochi."
When looking at Jiang Qiao'an, Shi Mochi had already put away the love in his eyes, and said with a leisurely expression: "Don't come here without any problems, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Qiaoan didn't answer, but turned to Yang Jinghan with a smile: "Miss Yang, if there is nothing else, I won't bother you."
"What do you mean Bie Lai Wu San, did you know each other before?" Yang Jinghan was full of curiosity, so he naturally held Jiang Qiaoan back and prevented her from leaving.
Shi Mochi smiled but was not a smile, also waiting for Jiang Qiaoan's answer.
Jiang Qiao settled down and said, "Alumni from college."
"In college?" Yang Jinghan became more interested, and cast a glance at Shi Mochi, "Then have you seen his ex-girlfriend? Is that bad woman pretty?"
"It's been too long, I don't remember." This time she answered without hesitation.
Jiang Qiaoan still had a three-point professional smile on his face, but Shi Mochi's face changed slightly, and he asked the disappointed Yang Jinghan a little impatiently: "Have you had enough trouble?"
Yang Jinghan was obviously not afraid of his losing his temper, so he snorted coquettishly, and slowly opened the golden nanmu box: "What, put it on before leaving. All the money I saved for a whole school year was used to buy you gifts, you appreciate it." Not moved?"
Shi Mochi didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't move or speak, but Yang Jinghan didn't care about the sudden cold reception, but she always reached out for her clothes, and she never helped others put on collar pin cuff buttons, and tried a few times clumsily , and asked Jiang Qiaoan who was standing aside for help.
Jiang Qiaoan hesitated for a moment, put on his white gloves again in a businesslike manner, took the things in Yang Jinghan's hands and replaced the collar pin, tie clip, belt buckle and cufflinks for him in turn.When she touched Shi Mo Chi's cuff, her hand trembled slightly, she couldn't help raising her head to look at him, and the old cufflinks rolled to the ground.
Jiang Qiaoan is tall, and he is so close, the broken hair on the top of his head can touch the tip of his nose when he is stepping on his flat heels. The long-lost and familiar sweetness makes Shi Mochi lose his mind for a few seconds, meeting Jiang Qiaoan's gaze, His heart skipped a beat, but Yang Jinghan beside him was still chattering.
"It's a pity that the finished product is not the same as the original design drawing. The original design is much better! I will show you the original drawing later, and I can change it if I like it."
Shi Mochi didn't seem to hear it, until Yang Jinghan asked again and said: "No, this is very good."
"Then let's go quickly, it's still early, we can go to Boya's for afternoon tea in time!" Yang Jinghan stuffed the old collar pins he replaced into the bag randomly, and when he pulled it, Mo Chi left.
There was only one old cufflink left, and the other one had already rolled away. Seeing Jiang Qiaoan bent down to look for it, Shi Mochi said indifferently: "If you lose it, you lose it. It's an insignificant thing."
Jiang Qiaoan lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, and sent the guests out as usual.Opening the glass door, the cold wind gushed in. She was only wearing a suit and silk stockings close to her body, she couldn't help shrinking her shoulders, she stayed in the room that was always kept at 20 degrees Celsius for too long, and for a moment she forgot that it was already early winter.
She didn't go back to the upstairs office immediately, but walked quickly to the VIP room, and half-kneeled on the carpet to search inch by inch. After a while, she finally found the old cufflink on the back of the sofa. It took six years. , 18k gold is the easiest to turn yellow, no matter how well kept it is, the surface is no longer bright. This is the work of her third-year final exam, and it is also the first pair of cufflinks she designed. She gave it away with joy, But he never expected to return to his hands in this way.
Jiang Qiaoan thought, there is no irony in life.
The little girl at the front desk came to clean up. Seeing Jiang Qiaoan sitting half-kneeling on the carpet in a daze, she came over curiously: "Designer Jiang, did you drop something? Did you find it?"
Jiang Qiaoan got up immediately: "It has been found."
"Mr. Shi's mother who just came here is Yang Ruiqi, the chief designer of our company. You majored in jewelry design. You must have heard of Yang Ruiqi's name, right? She left the job a few months ago because of her husband's poor health. Miss Yang is her niece." Wherever there are women, there will never be a shortage of gossip.
Jiang Qiaoan's temperament is cold, and he never likes to talk about these things, but he seems to be interested when he hears this sentence: "Then Miss Yang is Mr. Shi's cousin? How can she say they are boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Designer Yang is Mr. Shi's stepmother. They are not related by blood, but the relationship between the two is better than that of a biological mother and son. Mr. Shi is young, promising, tall and handsome. There are few stable and excellent men. And most of them like men, he is a rare animal that is on the verge of extinction! He accompanied Designer Yang to the annual meeting in previous years, and many girls in our company tried their best to get close to him."
She suddenly lowered her voice: "Mina, who is sitting next to you, chased after him two years ago when she was not married. Even Designer Yang worked hard to please him. He made dim sum and soup in different ways every day. Finally, Designer Yang We were all moved, but Mr. Shi didn't pay her much attention. He has never had a girlfriend, and we are still guessing whether he loves men in private! It turned out that he was waiting for his little cousin to grow up. Ms. Yang is sweet and cute, and she treats people very well. , Men like this kind of coquettish ones the most."
The little girl at the front desk wanted to talk, but Jiang Qiaoan didn't want to listen anymore, so she found an excuse and went back to the office first.She wasn't busy in the afternoon, but she, who was always meticulous, made abnormal mistakes one after another. She didn't realize it until she received a call from Mu Yan when she got off work. She forgot to ask her what she wanted to eat for dinner in advance.
"You don't have to cook tonight, let's go out to eat."
"It's better not to go out to eat. You have a baby in your belly, and the food outside has a lot of MSG. What do you want to eat? Buy it and make it together. Next time, don't run around by yourself. There are many people on the street at this time. If you are caught Come across, I can't bear Li Yijiang's temper."
"He doesn't care what he's doing!" Mu Yan snorted, and suddenly said mysteriously, "I'm already downstairs in your company. You don't need to drive your car. Someone will take you off tomorrow morning."
Although Jiang Qiaoan was strange, she was worried that she was a pregnant woman waiting alone in a crowded downtown area. She didn't ask much questions, didn't even change out of her suit, just put on a cashmere coat and hurried out.
Seeing the tall man standing beside Mu Yan, Jiang Qiaoan couldn't help but startled, and said with a smile, "Mu Yin? Hello."
Mu Yin smiled gently, opened the car door for them, and walked around to the cab to drive.
"You have met my third brother two or three times in total, and it happened more than ten years ago. I didn't expect to recognize him immediately." Mu Yan turned to Mu Yin and said, "Let's go eat hot pot, hot pot. Qiaoan likes the hot and spicy one."
Jiang Qiaoan quickly stopped: "You are pregnant, so you should eat less greasy, unnutritious and MSG-rich foods."
Mu Yan pursed her lips: "This tone sounds like Li Yijiang."
"You don't go home when you are pregnant, and you ignore Li Yijiang. He can't wait to call me ten times a day, from when you wake up and when you go to bed, to what you eat every day. I see that you don't eat hot pot and dry pot. Is your third brother here to pick you up this time?" Thinking of this, Jiang Qiaoan immediately felt a sense of happiness that he was about to see the sun again.
"He actually has the nerve to call you secretly!" Mu Yan didn't expect that Li Yijiang still has the ability to instigate his girlfriends after more than 1000 kilometers, and she was very dissatisfied, "I want to eat what he doesn't allow, so let's eat hot pot today. "
Mu Yin has a gentle temper and has no principles in petting his younger sister. After hearing Jiang Qiaoan's words, he objected at first, but Mu Yan couldn't hold back her anger. Finally, he listened to her opinion and drove the car to the hot pot restaurant.
Jiang Qiaoan was afraid of being read by Li Yijiang again, so he had no choice but to suggest: "Let's buy the ingredients and go home to eat. There are pig's trotters in the refrigerator, which can be stewed to make soup base."
Pregnant people tend to have opposite tastes than before. Mu Yan used to never touch food like pig’s trotters, but recently she wants to eat it surprisingly. She is not self-willed and disregarding the baby. nodded.
Stewing pig’s trotters naturally takes a while. Jiang Qiaoan stayed in the kitchen to pack fruits and vegetables while waiting, and Mu Yan squeezed in to help. Jiang Qiaoan glanced at Mu Yin who was patiently peeling hickory nuts for his younger sister, and smiled. He said to her: "Do you know why I can recognize your third brother immediately after so many years? Because it is impossible for Li Yijiang to allow men other than your brother to approach you, and among your three cousins, there is also Only Mu Yinken put down his work and came all the way here to pick you up instead of Li Yijiang."
"My third brother didn't come here to pick me up, but changed his job here." Mu Yanzheng didn't know how to speak, and said, "I rented this house to you because he was going to be transferred here, and my grandfather gave it to him. bought."
"...Didn't you say this is your house?"
"My brother's is mine!" Mu Yan is always confident, "Anyway, there are two bedrooms, and it's too wasteful to live alone. I told my brother, you can live at ease, and he won't charge you for rent, water and electricity. of."
"...Your brother and I don't know each other well, and it's inconvenient for us to be different genders. It's hard to find a suitable house now. I have to live in it for a week, and then I'll move out."
In addition to the inconvenience, Jiang Qiaoan insisted on moving out because he knew Mu Yan's temperament too well. No one likes strangers living in their homes. Mu Yin would agree that it was most likely forced by his sister.
Mu Yan immediately became anxious when she heard that, and hugged Jiang Qiao'an's arm to play tricks: "How can you do this, if you move away, I will ignore you again! I have a stomachache, and I must be angry with you."
Jiang Qiaoan suddenly felt suspicious, so he asked, "You tricked me into this house by saying that it was yours, and now you are not allowing me to move out. Are you playing some stupid idea?"
Sure enough, Mu Yan laughed and immediately admitted: "Oh, I'm not doing this for your own good. You're already 27 years old and haven't found a boyfriend. I'm just worrying for you. I'm only a month older than you. I already have a second baby. If you think it’s too early to get married at 27, it’s better to find a man you like first! My brother is even more ridiculous. He couldn’t see Zhou Wanyi and Chen Yuedong getting married, so he just hid here. In fact, how good is my third brother , Mucheng Muwei and Li Yijiang are not as good as him! You try to get along with him, if you really don’t feel like him, just treat him as a friend who can take care of each other in different places! Anyway, he often travels for work, and half time is not there."
It was just a joking tone, but it has always touched Jiang Qiaoan's heart. 27 or 30 years old is too embarrassing age. Single girlfriends of the same age often complain to her about how her parents are not open to urging her. They clearly plan to enjoy freedom until they are [-] years old. Considering marriage, but can't resist the nagging of parents, wasting precious weekends to deal with the blind date.But they all don't know that being nagged by others is a very happy thing. By her side, the only one who keeps persuading them to think about life-long affairs as early as possible is Mu Yan who grew up together.
Seeing that Jiang Qiaoan was silent, Mu Yan thought she had no objection, and exaggerated how good her brother was. Mu Yin came in to deliver the peeled hickory nuts, and after hearing a few words, she could only apologize to Jiang Qiaoan behind her sister. smiled.
As soon as the soup base was ready, before the three of them sat down, the doorbell rang. Mu Yin glanced at Mu Yan, who was enthusiastically throwing tofu fruit and tenderloin slices into the pot, and then turned to Jiang Qiaoan, his eyes still Before handing it over, he saw her silently asking "Li Yijiang?" with her lips. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, motioning for her to comfort Mu Yan, and got up to open the door.
Seeing Li Yijiang, Mu Yan immediately changed her face, picked up the pillow on the back of the chair and threw it at him, turned her head and glared at her brother, then turned back to the bedroom and locked the door.
After driving for more than ten hours, Li Yijiang was naturally tired. After hastily greeting Mu Yin and Jiang Qiaoan, he knocked on the door and begged for mercy with a smile.
Mu Yin has only been to this apartment once before, so he doesn't know where the spare key for the bedroom is. Just as he was about to ask Jiang Qiaoan, she handed it to Li Yijiang, gestured to him, and turned around. The terrace farthest from the bedroom - the house is small and not soundproof, and Li Yijiang is most concerned about face, so it is not convenient for them to stay in the living room for him to be humble.
Mu Yin also had this intention, so he followed: "I don't come back here every day, so you can stay at ease."
"Which one am I? Among Mu Yan's girlfriends, except for those who have a master, you have probably been forced by her to see all of them."
The smile on her face was shallow, but Mu Yin was taken aback, and then secretly sighed that Jiang Qiao'an was really smart. No wonder, besides Zhou Wanyi, more than one of the acquaintances used to describe her as "hearing the strings and knowing the elegance", but Yun Dan With a gentle sentence, the embarrassing atmosphere created by Mu Yan dissipated in an instant.
He had no choice but to smile helplessly: "My younger sister has always said one thing at home since she was a child, and she loves to bully me the most, so she has no choice but to obey."
Jiang Qiao'an originally wanted to say "Mu Yan is also kind", but she took it back, everyone understands the truth, so why talk too much, besides, she doesn't want to touch the privacy of others.
Mu Yin is a talkative person, but Jiang Qiaoan's temperament is cold, and the two of them only met a few times, so naturally there are not many topics, but they chat casually, but there is no embarrassment of having nothing to say. He didn't feel bored, and was very natural and comfortable, so when Li Yijiang, who tried his best to persuade the beauty to return, brought his wife to say goodbye, both of them thought that Li Yijiang's trip was really a quick win. Time, I was really taken aback.
A few days ago, Mu Yan came with a whole suitcase full of luggage, but she only brought a handbag when she left. Mu Yin and Jiang Qiaoan couldn't hold back and went downstairs to see each other off, and they didn't go back upstairs together until Li Yijiang's car drove away.
In the silver extended car not far away, when he happened to see this scene, Mo Chi's expression froze slightly, and Yang Jinghan beside him was still immersed in the excitement of the dinner that just ended, he seemed to have never heard of her joy, and only remembered That night many years ago, when he came back from the study room, he passed by the girls' dormitory, and heard someone called "Jiang Qiao'an". Because he heard the name mentioned by the boys in the class more than once, he subconsciously turned his face to look, maybe it was She was distracted, but she didn't turn her head back. It was just a thin and tall figure, not as stunning as the rumors said, but her neck was exceptionally beautiful and slender. In the thick night, there was an undisguised exquisiteness, which impressed him so far. profound.
"Hey, Shi Mochi! Whatever you think, ignore me." Yang Jinghan finally realized that he was absent-minded, stopped the topic, and pouted to complain.
"You called my name casually, too? No big or small." The tone seemed to be reproachful, but the corners of his mouth curled up. Mo Chi was always extra tolerant when his temper was not good for his cousin who was nearly ten years younger than him.
"What cousin, we are not related by blood, so I won't call you brother. I told my aunt and uncle that I want to be your girlfriend, and they agreed!"
The smile in his eyes suddenly subsided by seven points: "The whole world agrees, and it's useless if I don't agree."
Yang Jinghan's persistence made Shi Mochi really dumbfounded. If it was another woman, with his character, he wouldn't even say a word of nonsense, but she is a younger sister, so she can't speak seriously. After repeated rejections are useless, she can only hide.
A few years ago, when he heard Yang Jinghan yelling to be his girlfriend, Shi Mochi only thought of her as a child, and didn't take it seriously, thinking that when she went to college, her attention would naturally shift to the boys in the school. In life, she never expected that she would work harder as she got older. In order to get closer to herself, she studied desperately before the college entrance examination, gave up a more suitable school, and filled all her volunteers in the city where he was located.Only then did he gradually become vigilant, from insinuating on the sidelines to directly stating that the relationship between them was completely impossible, but Yang Jinghan persisted and refused to give up.
"You will agree one day! You don't have a marriage partner now. I like you. What's wrong? I say you are my boyfriend everywhere, because I am afraid that you will be missed by other women!" Yang Jinghan thought of something, proudly Mo Chi held Shi Mochi tightly, "And we have made a little progress. When I introduced you to Miss Jiang in the afternoon, you didn't say the phrase 'she was joking, I'm her cousin' for the first time. This is the default. Right!"
This passage unknowingly touched Shi Mo Chi's nerves, he suddenly pulled his arm out, and frowning slightly took out the prepared check: "You are still a student, don't use your parents' money to give too expensive gifts. Also, before I don’t want to repeat what I have said many times. You are my sister, a child in my eyes, and will always be. I have the responsibility to let you pamper you, and I have the responsibility to discipline you. I will go back to my parents tonight Home, you put the key to the apartment on the dining table tomorrow morning, and we don’t need to meet again until you think it through.”
Yang Jinghan didn't understand for a moment, he was swollen for a moment, and then his eyes widened and he asked, "Brother, why are you so fierce all of a sudden?"
Shi Mochi felt soft-hearted again. He has always regarded Yang Ruiqi as his biological mother, and he has treated Yang Jinghan and the other two serious younger sisters since he was a child. Among the three younger sisters, she is the youngest and clings to him, so he has always been reluctant to bear it. Too hard to refuse.But he also understood that procrastination would only be worse for her. Instead of continuing to hide whenever she could, it would be better to let her give up once and for all, so he got out of the car and opened the door for her without answering.
Yang Jinghan's eyes were already filled with tears, and while trying not to cry out more embarrassingly, he shouted at him unwillingly: "I like you so much, and I have been working hard, but you not only don't like me, but now you still treat me Fierce, my parents have never been cruel to me, do you think I have to help you celebrate your birthday because I like to be lively? Is it because you always find reasons to avoid me, and I can’t see you, so you moved so much Come out! This is not fair at all, I will never like you again!"
It took her a lot of effort to stick to him when Mo Chi came to his apartment, trying to do something to bring them closer, but in the end it didn't work out. This kind of gap is naturally more frustrating than when they hit soft nails in the past.Yang Jinghan had never been wronged, and Mo Chi was still silent after seeing what he had said. He threw the apartment key he had snatched earlier at him, turned around and ran out.
Shi Mochi suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, leaned on the car and lowered his head to light a cigarette. In fact, he hated the smell of smoke and fire very much, and he has not been able to get used to it until now. In college, he avoided the male dormitory. The smell of smoke, and even the school that has never lived in a day.These years, he has been inseparable from tobacco, because he really can't find a second thing to calm his irritability when he thinks of that name.
When he put the lighter into his trouser pocket, he inevitably touched the remaining cuff button, mocking the self who faced Jiang Qiao'an a few hours ago is too ridiculous and irrelevant How can something be worn for six years?
Shi Mochi suddenly felt desperate, because he finally realized that even if time passed, even if he was over thirty, he would always be childish and irritable when facing this person.
He has always been proud of himself.
When he was finally able to move, Jiang Qiaoan glanced at the clock on the wall - but at [-]:[-] in the morning, there were still two hours before dawn.
In the past year, she has had nightmares almost once or twice a month, and she can't wake up when she is consciously awake - she clearly feels that there are hands holding her throat and tearing her body, but she can't cry out at all I can't even move, so what if I can scream?She was the only one living in the whole apartment.
Even though she has experienced it many times, even if the doctor told her that this phenomenon will only appear when she is under too much mental stress and fatigue, her mind is clear and her muscles and nerves have not yet awakened, and it has nothing to do with the theory of ghosts and ghosts. Fear, still huddled in the quilt almost every second until dawn.
After waking up, Jiang Qiao'an was always thirsty, but because she was afraid of the darkness outside the room, she endured until dawn. She calmed down for a moment, and when she turned on the wall lamp by the bed, she accidentally saw a warm light pouring in from the crack of the bedroom door. , was taken aback before remembering that Mu Yin also lived in this apartment.
With others around, there is no need to be afraid. Jiang Qiaoan immediately put on his pajamas and went to the kitchen to drink water. Before leaving, he took half a bottle of brandy and a bottle of soda from the cupboard.
When returning to the bedroom, he passed the living room. Mu Yin, who was watching a movie on the sofa, took off his earphones and asked, "Did I disturb you?"
"No, why haven't you slept yet?"
"I love the bed. It's too uncomfortable to toss and turn. It's better to get up." He smiled very warmly. He glanced at the bottle in Jiang Qiaoan's hand and kindly reminded him, "It's easy to drink with soda, and it's easier to get drunk."
"No, I just have a drink to help me sleep." She wanted to go back to her room, but asked in a strange way, "Would you like a drink?"
Seeing that Mu Yin nodded and said yes, Jiang Qiaoan went to find two more glasses and poured wine for him with her own hands. Her fingers were very beautiful, fair and slender, her nails were neatly trimmed, painted with bright red nail polish, silky The pajamas are also bright red, but it's just such a lively color, but she wears it with a cool connotation.
"Originally, I planned to find another apartment to move out as soon as possible, but I just checked the Internet. It is not easy to find an apartment with a suitable location, size and price, and it is a bit troublesome to move... If you don't mind..." Until now Jiang Qiao Ancai realized that the smell of another person in the house could make her feel at ease, so she began to consider continuing to live.
Before she finished speaking, Mu Yin said: "Of course I don't mind, I agree that you were not forced to live by Mu Yan."
Jiang Qiaoan breathed a sigh of relief: "Tomorrow I will draw up a contract, and I will give you half a year's rent first. I know the third young master of the Mu family will definitely not care about this little money, but if you don't accept it, I will feel sorry anyway."
"I will definitely be scolded by Mu Yan for accepting your money. I don't know how to do housework and I don't want to hire a housekeeper I don't know. I also want to thank you for helping me take care of the house."
Jiang Qiaoan felt that it was boring to push back and forth verbally, so he stopped the topic and raised his glass: "Have a good time getting along, and if you come back for dinner, tell me in advance, and cook your favorite dishes."
Mu Yin didn't push back, just said yes with a smile, the two of them had their own concerns, and drank half a bottle in silence, Jiang Qiaoan was about to get up and go back to the room, when he heard him say, "A few bottles were given by my comrades before I came here. It’s a good wine, it’s not opened yet, let’s try it together?”
Jiang Qiaoan seldom drank baijiu, and he was even more reluctant to see the strength of the bottle: "Everyone of you who have been in the army can drink it, but I can't."
Mu Yin went to the kitchen to change a small cup, and only poured half of it for her: "Try it, this one is not spicy."
She took a sip, raised her head and smiled at him: "It's really not very spicy."
Jiang Qiaoan didn't smile often, and Mu Yin was taken aback.
She is very beautiful and elegant, her eyes are not big but very beautiful, her delicate melon-shaped face is matched with a very tall nose, she is pale and slender like a shade plant when she is silent, when she smiles, a very charming and elegant smile appears on the corner of her mouth The radian is not very beautiful at first glance, but it has a very attractive charm.
When he came back to his senses, Mu Yin realized that his eyes were a little presumptuous. After pouring her a full glass, he changed the subject in a little embarrassment: "I heard from my sister that you could have a better development in the previous city. Why did you suddenly resign?" Come here for a job?"
Jiang Qiaoan was a little sad, and made up a reason to get away. Mu Yin smiled after hearing this: "My sister must have told you that I hid here because Wanyi wanted to get married, but it wasn't true. No matter how stupid I am, I can take it I can let it go. I was born, studied, and worked in the same city. I’ve been in the same city for almost 30 years, so I always feel tired. That’s why I wanted to change to a fresh environment while my parents were still young and didn’t need me to take care of them. Live alone for a while."
The spirit of alcohol gradually increased, and Jiang Qiaoan felt that his words were no longer under control, and consciously felt that it should not be, but he said it out of his mouth: "Except for Zhou Wanyue, I don't want to mention anyone in the Zhou family, especially Zhou Wanyi."
Mu Yin knew that she had a delicate relationship with the Zhou family, but he didn't expect her to tell him so bluntly, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while: "I heard Mu Yan say something about you... Wanyi is not good to you, maybe It's also for my aunt, although she appears to be headstrong and ignorant, she is actually a very nice person."
"She has exactly the same personality as her aunt, so she has the same love as mother and daughter." Jiang Qiaoan sneered and sarcastically. She was the most impatient to argue with others. Half sat back down again.
Mu Yin was silent for a while, and recalled to himself: "When I was a teenager, I got viral keratitis. My family held a birthday party for Mu Yan. Many people came. Grandma didn't want me to be bored in the room alone. I asked a few people of similar age to take me to the garden. Because of my sudden blindness, I became very sensitive and silent. Discord will naturally be violent. Although I can't see it, I kick and bite with all my strength. They are worried that I am a patient, but they don't take advantage of it. To vent their anger, they throw my cat into the swimming pool. Later, Wanyi helped me I picked up the cat and took me back to my room to help me bandage it. But after I had my cornea replaced, she went to another place to work with her parents. It was ten years after we met again. I mentioned the past to her. Totally forgot."
"...I was the one who brought the cat up and bandaged it for you... You later asked Zhou Wanyue who I was, and she said I was her sister... But it's not surprising that you mistaken the person, because you couldn't see me at that time Things, except for Zhou Wanyue, no one would think that I am her sister like Zhou Wanyi." Jiang Qiaoan said blankly, "Of course, neither will I."
When Jiang Qiaoan woke up the next day, she felt regretful again. She and Mu Yin didn't even know each other well, but she actually wanted to ridicule the goddess in others' hearts for a while. Embarrassing—both her father and stepmother have passed away, and she has no relationship with the Zhou family anymore. If she didn't take advantage of the drunkenness, how could she mention all the grievances in the past to others.
When he walked out of the room, he heard the sound of water flowing in the shower room of the guest bathroom. Jiang Qiaoan knew that Mu Yin had woken up, so he began to prepare a double breakfast.She didn't know Mu Yin's taste, so she had to follow Mu Yan's preference, fried egg fried rice with diced bamboo shoots, edamame, carrots and bacon, and cut a few thin slices of ham and fried it to cover it.
Jiang Qiaoan has always been neat in his work, and the kitchen was already cleaned up when he turned off the fire and loaded the dishes. Seeing Mu Yin coming out of the bathroom, he poured soy milk and greeted him for dinner.
Mu Yin was a little surprised. After sitting down, he praised the delicious breakfast and chatted with her. From the weather, work, current affairs to the latest movie, the short-lived differences last night disappeared, as if they never existed.
Because of rushing to work, the morning time is always very precious. Jiang Qiaoan didn’t have time to clean up the dishes. After eating, he went back to his room to take a shower and change clothes. He didn’t sleep well last night, and he could see clearly in the mirror through layers of fog Naturally, foundation couldn't cover up the dark circles under her eyes, so she simply chose thick black eyeliner and put on a slightly heavy makeup.
When Jiang Qiaoan went out with her bag, Mu Yin was standing solemnly in the kitchen studying how to use dish soap. Seeing this, she couldn't help laughing: "Just leave it alone, I wash dishes at night."
"You cooked the rice, of course I have to wash the dishes." Seeing that she seemed to be going to work, Mu Yin quickly put down the things in his hand, put on his coat and went out together, "I'll drive you."
Jiang Qiaoan was puzzled at first, and then remembered that his car was still parked in the company, so he declined with a smile: "Don't bother, I can take a taxi or take the subway."
"I'm going to work in the afternoon, and I'm going to meet my friends in the morning, so I just drop by to drop you off."
When Mu Yin went to get the car, Jiang Qiaoan waited in the garden downstairs. Within 2 minutes, the silver extended car drove out of the underground garage, but she didn't intend to drive here. She was a little strange, and immediately waved.
It took a full ten seconds for the car to turn around. Jiang Qiaoan opened the door and said with a smile, "Didn't you say it's good to wait here? Why don't you just drive out..."
Jiang Qiaoan was dumbfounded when he saw the person sitting in the driver's seat, and Shi Mochi asked inexplicably, "Miss Jiang wants a ride?"
She didn't know how to advance or retreat, but fortunately she heard the horn of the car behind, turned her head and saw Mu Yin with the window down, said to Shi Mochi in a hurry, "Sorry, I got the wrong car" and immediately closed the car door and ran over.
Seeing that identical car whizzing by his car, for a moment, Mo Chi almost had the urge to run into it.
"It's embarrassing?" Mu Yin saw Jiang Qiaoan's uneasiness, and comforted him with a smile, "Mu Yan also often misidentifies the wrong car. She always only looks at the appearance and doesn't look at the license plate, but she blames Li Yijiang's cars all over the street. This car is too small.”
(End of this chapter)
After receiving the call from the front desk, Jiang Qiaoan frowned slightly, took the black velvet brocade box at hand, and walked out of the office bravely.
The VIP room is covered with a thick camel-colored carpet, stepping on it quietly, and Jiang Qiaoan seldom wears high heels, so when he walked to the sofa, Yang Jinghan looked away from the gourmet magazine, raised his head and smiled politely at her : "Thank you, Designer Jiang."
This kind of politeness and politeness made Jiang Qiaoan feel even more sorry. He took the lemon soda from his colleague and handed it to him personally: "Sorry, Miss Yang, I kept you waiting."
"Where, I'm here early." Yang Jinghan had two small dimples on his lips, and his voice was sweet, because he was in a really good mood, and he was very talkative, and added with a smile, "My boyfriend has invited you for a long time Accompany me on leave, I will go directly to the hotel at night, and probably won’t be free for a whole day, so come here early to pick it up.”
Jiang Qiaoan put on white gloves, opened the brocade box and pushed it in front of Yang Jinghan: "I'm really sorry, the factory did not follow the drawings completely, and the patterns on the tie clips and cufflinks are slightly different from my design draft, because your list It is already urgent, it was delivered in the morning, and there is not enough time to return to the factory for modification, if you are not satisfied, I will send it back to the factory immediately, and there will not be too long a delay."
After checking the things, Yang Jinghan was very angry. Due to his usual good self-cultivation, he didn't shout loudly, but complained in a low voice: "Although time is tight, I also paid for the expedited fee. How can such a big brand like yours come out?" Such a question! My boyfriend's birthday is today, and the birthday dinner is about to start in a few hours, so how can I make it in time if I send it to be revised now?"
Facing the customer's dissatisfaction, Jiang Qiao'an could only apologize again. In the private customization of high-end jewelry, there are two things that designers fear most. The customer has no idea and is changeable, and the factory does not strictly follow the drawings. A regular customer of Designer Liu who just resigned due to marriage and immigration. Designer Liu was Jiang Qiaoan's senior sister in college.
The customer base of her company is relatively high-end, and almost all of them are members with familiar designers.Rich people always prefer big brands. Since they have bought precious gemstones, they will not hesitate to pay extra design fees to hire famous designers. She has only graduated for a year, and she has only been in the industry for a short time. She has not yet won any important awards. I just returned to this city where I had been away for four years. I have no contacts or fame. Although I got an offer from this big company after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, if I don’t rely on the help of my seniors, it’s really hard to get an offer. difficulty.
The set of collar pins, tie clips, cufflinks and belt buckles that Yang Jinghan ordered, just the three big diamonds he selected are already worth a lot, not to mention that he asked Jiang Qiaoan for the size and asked someone else to order a gold one. The Sinan wooden box is only waiting for the accessories here to be put in the factory. It can be imagined that the importance is attached to it, so her displeasure at the moment is much milder than Jiang Qiaoan's expected reaction.
In fact, Jiang Qiaoan pays more attention to this order than the customer. She has always been strong, and she must do her best in everything. What's more, she has just entered this company, and it is very important to successfully complete the first order to gain trust.The design of men's accessories is more difficult than that of women. It must be simple and not cumbersome, but also unique and not popular. Naturally, it takes a lot of effort to think of it.
Private customization is different from competitions. Success or failure does not depend on whether the work is outstanding but on the customer's satisfaction. She stayed up for a few nights in exchange for Yang Jinghan's praise. Unexpectedly, because of the problems at the factory, the original favor was instantly lost. Reduced to a negative value-customers value only the results, and do not analyze who is responsible.
Yang Jinghan is a perfectionist, he will not easily accept the slightest change, and then return to the factory to modify the time is not allowed, and he can't calm down if he doesn't change it, so he weighed it for a while and said reluctantly: "Forget it, I'm in a hurry, I will get the things first Go back and give it away, and come back later to modify it. The gift you sent out has to be changed again, what is going on!"
Jiang Qiaoan had no choice but to say sorry again.
Yang Jinghan took out the golden nanmu box from the bag, and put the cufflinks and tie clips in the velvet brocade box one by one with his own hands, but his fingernails were too long, and he couldn't get the tie pins after several tries. Qiao'an took over to help.
"I was the one who waited for you in the past. I waited for the whole afternoon. It was so hard for you to wait for me again. I became impatient within a quarter of an hour!" Her voice was so honeyed, she joked coquettishly, " What's the reason for the no-stop zone, if you really get a ticket, it will be counted on my account."
Putting down the phone, Yang Jinghan's previous unhappiness was swept away, and he smiled and praised Jiang Qiaoan who took off his gloves: "Wow, your hands are so beautiful."
Jiang Qiaoan smiled, but didn't answer the call, and couldn't help but envy her—it's nice to be young, probably only girls in their early 20s would be coaxed to smile immediately after a phone call from their boyfriend that took less than 30 seconds.
She handed the wooden box to Yang Jinghan, and was about to get up to see off the guests, when she saw the initials engraved on the lower right corner of the box cover, she couldn't help but startled.
"Designer Jiang?"
Jiang Qiaoan consciously lost his composure, and immediately let go: "Why is the abbreviation on the box different from the one on the accessories?"
"My boyfriend's name is on the box, and his last name and my first name are on the accessories. I want him to wear my name all the time. Is there any problem?"
"I thought I got the initials wrong, it's nothing." Jiang Qiaoan laughed at his boredom. The city is so big, the same birthday and initials are probably just a coincidence.
"Why did you come in!" Yang Jinghan pouted, looking past Jiang Qiaoan, "I want to wait until twelve o'clock to give you a surprise, and the box has not been collected yet."
"Didn't you say you came here to find friends? What a surprise, if you didn't invite a lot of people behind my back, I wouldn't even bother celebrating my birthday."
Jiang Qiaoan looked back, Yang Jinghan's boyfriend walked in at some time, standing in front of the VIP room, smiling and watching his girlfriend acting like a spoiled child, his smile was full of doting, Xu felt that Jiang Qiaoan was there Staring at himself, he glanced casually, and only politely twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he were greeting him.
Rao Jiang Qiao'an was always moody and angry, and he couldn't react for a while, and finally moved his eyes away after a few seconds.
"30 years old is a full birthday, but what can I do, since the surprise is gone, why don't you just wear my present on your body now." Yang Jinghan ran over briskly, grabbed her boyfriend's hand and pulled him over. The two introduced each other, "This is Designer Jiang, and this is my boyfriend Shi Mochi."
When looking at Jiang Qiao'an, Shi Mochi had already put away the love in his eyes, and said with a leisurely expression: "Don't come here without any problems, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Qiaoan didn't answer, but turned to Yang Jinghan with a smile: "Miss Yang, if there is nothing else, I won't bother you."
"What do you mean Bie Lai Wu San, did you know each other before?" Yang Jinghan was full of curiosity, so he naturally held Jiang Qiaoan back and prevented her from leaving.
Shi Mochi smiled but was not a smile, also waiting for Jiang Qiaoan's answer.
Jiang Qiao settled down and said, "Alumni from college."
"In college?" Yang Jinghan became more interested, and cast a glance at Shi Mochi, "Then have you seen his ex-girlfriend? Is that bad woman pretty?"
"It's been too long, I don't remember." This time she answered without hesitation.
Jiang Qiaoan still had a three-point professional smile on his face, but Shi Mochi's face changed slightly, and he asked the disappointed Yang Jinghan a little impatiently: "Have you had enough trouble?"
Yang Jinghan was obviously not afraid of his losing his temper, so he snorted coquettishly, and slowly opened the golden nanmu box: "What, put it on before leaving. All the money I saved for a whole school year was used to buy you gifts, you appreciate it." Not moved?"
Shi Mochi didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't move or speak, but Yang Jinghan didn't care about the sudden cold reception, but she always reached out for her clothes, and she never helped others put on collar pin cuff buttons, and tried a few times clumsily , and asked Jiang Qiaoan who was standing aside for help.
Jiang Qiaoan hesitated for a moment, put on his white gloves again in a businesslike manner, took the things in Yang Jinghan's hands and replaced the collar pin, tie clip, belt buckle and cufflinks for him in turn.When she touched Shi Mo Chi's cuff, her hand trembled slightly, she couldn't help raising her head to look at him, and the old cufflinks rolled to the ground.
Jiang Qiaoan is tall, and he is so close, the broken hair on the top of his head can touch the tip of his nose when he is stepping on his flat heels. The long-lost and familiar sweetness makes Shi Mochi lose his mind for a few seconds, meeting Jiang Qiaoan's gaze, His heart skipped a beat, but Yang Jinghan beside him was still chattering.
"It's a pity that the finished product is not the same as the original design drawing. The original design is much better! I will show you the original drawing later, and I can change it if I like it."
Shi Mochi didn't seem to hear it, until Yang Jinghan asked again and said: "No, this is very good."
"Then let's go quickly, it's still early, we can go to Boya's for afternoon tea in time!" Yang Jinghan stuffed the old collar pins he replaced into the bag randomly, and when he pulled it, Mo Chi left.
There was only one old cufflink left, and the other one had already rolled away. Seeing Jiang Qiaoan bent down to look for it, Shi Mochi said indifferently: "If you lose it, you lose it. It's an insignificant thing."
Jiang Qiaoan lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, and sent the guests out as usual.Opening the glass door, the cold wind gushed in. She was only wearing a suit and silk stockings close to her body, she couldn't help shrinking her shoulders, she stayed in the room that was always kept at 20 degrees Celsius for too long, and for a moment she forgot that it was already early winter.
She didn't go back to the upstairs office immediately, but walked quickly to the VIP room, and half-kneeled on the carpet to search inch by inch. After a while, she finally found the old cufflink on the back of the sofa. It took six years. , 18k gold is the easiest to turn yellow, no matter how well kept it is, the surface is no longer bright. This is the work of her third-year final exam, and it is also the first pair of cufflinks she designed. She gave it away with joy, But he never expected to return to his hands in this way.
Jiang Qiaoan thought, there is no irony in life.
The little girl at the front desk came to clean up. Seeing Jiang Qiaoan sitting half-kneeling on the carpet in a daze, she came over curiously: "Designer Jiang, did you drop something? Did you find it?"
Jiang Qiaoan got up immediately: "It has been found."
"Mr. Shi's mother who just came here is Yang Ruiqi, the chief designer of our company. You majored in jewelry design. You must have heard of Yang Ruiqi's name, right? She left the job a few months ago because of her husband's poor health. Miss Yang is her niece." Wherever there are women, there will never be a shortage of gossip.
Jiang Qiaoan's temperament is cold, and he never likes to talk about these things, but he seems to be interested when he hears this sentence: "Then Miss Yang is Mr. Shi's cousin? How can she say they are boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Designer Yang is Mr. Shi's stepmother. They are not related by blood, but the relationship between the two is better than that of a biological mother and son. Mr. Shi is young, promising, tall and handsome. There are few stable and excellent men. And most of them like men, he is a rare animal that is on the verge of extinction! He accompanied Designer Yang to the annual meeting in previous years, and many girls in our company tried their best to get close to him."
She suddenly lowered her voice: "Mina, who is sitting next to you, chased after him two years ago when she was not married. Even Designer Yang worked hard to please him. He made dim sum and soup in different ways every day. Finally, Designer Yang We were all moved, but Mr. Shi didn't pay her much attention. He has never had a girlfriend, and we are still guessing whether he loves men in private! It turned out that he was waiting for his little cousin to grow up. Ms. Yang is sweet and cute, and she treats people very well. , Men like this kind of coquettish ones the most."
The little girl at the front desk wanted to talk, but Jiang Qiaoan didn't want to listen anymore, so she found an excuse and went back to the office first.She wasn't busy in the afternoon, but she, who was always meticulous, made abnormal mistakes one after another. She didn't realize it until she received a call from Mu Yan when she got off work. She forgot to ask her what she wanted to eat for dinner in advance.
"You don't have to cook tonight, let's go out to eat."
"It's better not to go out to eat. You have a baby in your belly, and the food outside has a lot of MSG. What do you want to eat? Buy it and make it together. Next time, don't run around by yourself. There are many people on the street at this time. If you are caught Come across, I can't bear Li Yijiang's temper."
"He doesn't care what he's doing!" Mu Yan snorted, and suddenly said mysteriously, "I'm already downstairs in your company. You don't need to drive your car. Someone will take you off tomorrow morning."
Although Jiang Qiaoan was strange, she was worried that she was a pregnant woman waiting alone in a crowded downtown area. She didn't ask much questions, didn't even change out of her suit, just put on a cashmere coat and hurried out.
Seeing the tall man standing beside Mu Yan, Jiang Qiaoan couldn't help but startled, and said with a smile, "Mu Yin? Hello."
Mu Yin smiled gently, opened the car door for them, and walked around to the cab to drive.
"You have met my third brother two or three times in total, and it happened more than ten years ago. I didn't expect to recognize him immediately." Mu Yan turned to Mu Yin and said, "Let's go eat hot pot, hot pot. Qiaoan likes the hot and spicy one."
Jiang Qiaoan quickly stopped: "You are pregnant, so you should eat less greasy, unnutritious and MSG-rich foods."
Mu Yan pursed her lips: "This tone sounds like Li Yijiang."
"You don't go home when you are pregnant, and you ignore Li Yijiang. He can't wait to call me ten times a day, from when you wake up and when you go to bed, to what you eat every day. I see that you don't eat hot pot and dry pot. Is your third brother here to pick you up this time?" Thinking of this, Jiang Qiaoan immediately felt a sense of happiness that he was about to see the sun again.
"He actually has the nerve to call you secretly!" Mu Yan didn't expect that Li Yijiang still has the ability to instigate his girlfriends after more than 1000 kilometers, and she was very dissatisfied, "I want to eat what he doesn't allow, so let's eat hot pot today. "
Mu Yin has a gentle temper and has no principles in petting his younger sister. After hearing Jiang Qiaoan's words, he objected at first, but Mu Yan couldn't hold back her anger. Finally, he listened to her opinion and drove the car to the hot pot restaurant.
Jiang Qiaoan was afraid of being read by Li Yijiang again, so he had no choice but to suggest: "Let's buy the ingredients and go home to eat. There are pig's trotters in the refrigerator, which can be stewed to make soup base."
Pregnant people tend to have opposite tastes than before. Mu Yan used to never touch food like pig’s trotters, but recently she wants to eat it surprisingly. She is not self-willed and disregarding the baby. nodded.
Stewing pig’s trotters naturally takes a while. Jiang Qiaoan stayed in the kitchen to pack fruits and vegetables while waiting, and Mu Yan squeezed in to help. Jiang Qiaoan glanced at Mu Yin who was patiently peeling hickory nuts for his younger sister, and smiled. He said to her: "Do you know why I can recognize your third brother immediately after so many years? Because it is impossible for Li Yijiang to allow men other than your brother to approach you, and among your three cousins, there is also Only Mu Yinken put down his work and came all the way here to pick you up instead of Li Yijiang."
"My third brother didn't come here to pick me up, but changed his job here." Mu Yanzheng didn't know how to speak, and said, "I rented this house to you because he was going to be transferred here, and my grandfather gave it to him. bought."
"...Didn't you say this is your house?"
"My brother's is mine!" Mu Yan is always confident, "Anyway, there are two bedrooms, and it's too wasteful to live alone. I told my brother, you can live at ease, and he won't charge you for rent, water and electricity. of."
"...Your brother and I don't know each other well, and it's inconvenient for us to be different genders. It's hard to find a suitable house now. I have to live in it for a week, and then I'll move out."
In addition to the inconvenience, Jiang Qiaoan insisted on moving out because he knew Mu Yan's temperament too well. No one likes strangers living in their homes. Mu Yin would agree that it was most likely forced by his sister.
Mu Yan immediately became anxious when she heard that, and hugged Jiang Qiao'an's arm to play tricks: "How can you do this, if you move away, I will ignore you again! I have a stomachache, and I must be angry with you."
Jiang Qiaoan suddenly felt suspicious, so he asked, "You tricked me into this house by saying that it was yours, and now you are not allowing me to move out. Are you playing some stupid idea?"
Sure enough, Mu Yan laughed and immediately admitted: "Oh, I'm not doing this for your own good. You're already 27 years old and haven't found a boyfriend. I'm just worrying for you. I'm only a month older than you. I already have a second baby. If you think it’s too early to get married at 27, it’s better to find a man you like first! My brother is even more ridiculous. He couldn’t see Zhou Wanyi and Chen Yuedong getting married, so he just hid here. In fact, how good is my third brother , Mucheng Muwei and Li Yijiang are not as good as him! You try to get along with him, if you really don’t feel like him, just treat him as a friend who can take care of each other in different places! Anyway, he often travels for work, and half time is not there."
It was just a joking tone, but it has always touched Jiang Qiaoan's heart. 27 or 30 years old is too embarrassing age. Single girlfriends of the same age often complain to her about how her parents are not open to urging her. They clearly plan to enjoy freedom until they are [-] years old. Considering marriage, but can't resist the nagging of parents, wasting precious weekends to deal with the blind date.But they all don't know that being nagged by others is a very happy thing. By her side, the only one who keeps persuading them to think about life-long affairs as early as possible is Mu Yan who grew up together.
Seeing that Jiang Qiaoan was silent, Mu Yan thought she had no objection, and exaggerated how good her brother was. Mu Yin came in to deliver the peeled hickory nuts, and after hearing a few words, she could only apologize to Jiang Qiaoan behind her sister. smiled.
As soon as the soup base was ready, before the three of them sat down, the doorbell rang. Mu Yin glanced at Mu Yan, who was enthusiastically throwing tofu fruit and tenderloin slices into the pot, and then turned to Jiang Qiaoan, his eyes still Before handing it over, he saw her silently asking "Li Yijiang?" with her lips. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, motioning for her to comfort Mu Yan, and got up to open the door.
Seeing Li Yijiang, Mu Yan immediately changed her face, picked up the pillow on the back of the chair and threw it at him, turned her head and glared at her brother, then turned back to the bedroom and locked the door.
After driving for more than ten hours, Li Yijiang was naturally tired. After hastily greeting Mu Yin and Jiang Qiaoan, he knocked on the door and begged for mercy with a smile.
Mu Yin has only been to this apartment once before, so he doesn't know where the spare key for the bedroom is. Just as he was about to ask Jiang Qiaoan, she handed it to Li Yijiang, gestured to him, and turned around. The terrace farthest from the bedroom - the house is small and not soundproof, and Li Yijiang is most concerned about face, so it is not convenient for them to stay in the living room for him to be humble.
Mu Yin also had this intention, so he followed: "I don't come back here every day, so you can stay at ease."
"Which one am I? Among Mu Yan's girlfriends, except for those who have a master, you have probably been forced by her to see all of them."
The smile on her face was shallow, but Mu Yin was taken aback, and then secretly sighed that Jiang Qiao'an was really smart. No wonder, besides Zhou Wanyi, more than one of the acquaintances used to describe her as "hearing the strings and knowing the elegance", but Yun Dan With a gentle sentence, the embarrassing atmosphere created by Mu Yan dissipated in an instant.
He had no choice but to smile helplessly: "My younger sister has always said one thing at home since she was a child, and she loves to bully me the most, so she has no choice but to obey."
Jiang Qiao'an originally wanted to say "Mu Yan is also kind", but she took it back, everyone understands the truth, so why talk too much, besides, she doesn't want to touch the privacy of others.
Mu Yin is a talkative person, but Jiang Qiaoan's temperament is cold, and the two of them only met a few times, so naturally there are not many topics, but they chat casually, but there is no embarrassment of having nothing to say. He didn't feel bored, and was very natural and comfortable, so when Li Yijiang, who tried his best to persuade the beauty to return, brought his wife to say goodbye, both of them thought that Li Yijiang's trip was really a quick win. Time, I was really taken aback.
A few days ago, Mu Yan came with a whole suitcase full of luggage, but she only brought a handbag when she left. Mu Yin and Jiang Qiaoan couldn't hold back and went downstairs to see each other off, and they didn't go back upstairs together until Li Yijiang's car drove away.
In the silver extended car not far away, when he happened to see this scene, Mo Chi's expression froze slightly, and Yang Jinghan beside him was still immersed in the excitement of the dinner that just ended, he seemed to have never heard of her joy, and only remembered That night many years ago, when he came back from the study room, he passed by the girls' dormitory, and heard someone called "Jiang Qiao'an". Because he heard the name mentioned by the boys in the class more than once, he subconsciously turned his face to look, maybe it was She was distracted, but she didn't turn her head back. It was just a thin and tall figure, not as stunning as the rumors said, but her neck was exceptionally beautiful and slender. In the thick night, there was an undisguised exquisiteness, which impressed him so far. profound.
"Hey, Shi Mochi! Whatever you think, ignore me." Yang Jinghan finally realized that he was absent-minded, stopped the topic, and pouted to complain.
"You called my name casually, too? No big or small." The tone seemed to be reproachful, but the corners of his mouth curled up. Mo Chi was always extra tolerant when his temper was not good for his cousin who was nearly ten years younger than him.
"What cousin, we are not related by blood, so I won't call you brother. I told my aunt and uncle that I want to be your girlfriend, and they agreed!"
The smile in his eyes suddenly subsided by seven points: "The whole world agrees, and it's useless if I don't agree."
Yang Jinghan's persistence made Shi Mochi really dumbfounded. If it was another woman, with his character, he wouldn't even say a word of nonsense, but she is a younger sister, so she can't speak seriously. After repeated rejections are useless, she can only hide.
A few years ago, when he heard Yang Jinghan yelling to be his girlfriend, Shi Mochi only thought of her as a child, and didn't take it seriously, thinking that when she went to college, her attention would naturally shift to the boys in the school. In life, she never expected that she would work harder as she got older. In order to get closer to herself, she studied desperately before the college entrance examination, gave up a more suitable school, and filled all her volunteers in the city where he was located.Only then did he gradually become vigilant, from insinuating on the sidelines to directly stating that the relationship between them was completely impossible, but Yang Jinghan persisted and refused to give up.
"You will agree one day! You don't have a marriage partner now. I like you. What's wrong? I say you are my boyfriend everywhere, because I am afraid that you will be missed by other women!" Yang Jinghan thought of something, proudly Mo Chi held Shi Mochi tightly, "And we have made a little progress. When I introduced you to Miss Jiang in the afternoon, you didn't say the phrase 'she was joking, I'm her cousin' for the first time. This is the default. Right!"
This passage unknowingly touched Shi Mo Chi's nerves, he suddenly pulled his arm out, and frowning slightly took out the prepared check: "You are still a student, don't use your parents' money to give too expensive gifts. Also, before I don’t want to repeat what I have said many times. You are my sister, a child in my eyes, and will always be. I have the responsibility to let you pamper you, and I have the responsibility to discipline you. I will go back to my parents tonight Home, you put the key to the apartment on the dining table tomorrow morning, and we don’t need to meet again until you think it through.”
Yang Jinghan didn't understand for a moment, he was swollen for a moment, and then his eyes widened and he asked, "Brother, why are you so fierce all of a sudden?"
Shi Mochi felt soft-hearted again. He has always regarded Yang Ruiqi as his biological mother, and he has treated Yang Jinghan and the other two serious younger sisters since he was a child. Among the three younger sisters, she is the youngest and clings to him, so he has always been reluctant to bear it. Too hard to refuse.But he also understood that procrastination would only be worse for her. Instead of continuing to hide whenever she could, it would be better to let her give up once and for all, so he got out of the car and opened the door for her without answering.
Yang Jinghan's eyes were already filled with tears, and while trying not to cry out more embarrassingly, he shouted at him unwillingly: "I like you so much, and I have been working hard, but you not only don't like me, but now you still treat me Fierce, my parents have never been cruel to me, do you think I have to help you celebrate your birthday because I like to be lively? Is it because you always find reasons to avoid me, and I can’t see you, so you moved so much Come out! This is not fair at all, I will never like you again!"
It took her a lot of effort to stick to him when Mo Chi came to his apartment, trying to do something to bring them closer, but in the end it didn't work out. This kind of gap is naturally more frustrating than when they hit soft nails in the past.Yang Jinghan had never been wronged, and Mo Chi was still silent after seeing what he had said. He threw the apartment key he had snatched earlier at him, turned around and ran out.
Shi Mochi suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, leaned on the car and lowered his head to light a cigarette. In fact, he hated the smell of smoke and fire very much, and he has not been able to get used to it until now. In college, he avoided the male dormitory. The smell of smoke, and even the school that has never lived in a day.These years, he has been inseparable from tobacco, because he really can't find a second thing to calm his irritability when he thinks of that name.
When he put the lighter into his trouser pocket, he inevitably touched the remaining cuff button, mocking the self who faced Jiang Qiao'an a few hours ago is too ridiculous and irrelevant How can something be worn for six years?
Shi Mochi suddenly felt desperate, because he finally realized that even if time passed, even if he was over thirty, he would always be childish and irritable when facing this person.
He has always been proud of himself.
When he was finally able to move, Jiang Qiaoan glanced at the clock on the wall - but at [-]:[-] in the morning, there were still two hours before dawn.
In the past year, she has had nightmares almost once or twice a month, and she can't wake up when she is consciously awake - she clearly feels that there are hands holding her throat and tearing her body, but she can't cry out at all I can't even move, so what if I can scream?She was the only one living in the whole apartment.
Even though she has experienced it many times, even if the doctor told her that this phenomenon will only appear when she is under too much mental stress and fatigue, her mind is clear and her muscles and nerves have not yet awakened, and it has nothing to do with the theory of ghosts and ghosts. Fear, still huddled in the quilt almost every second until dawn.
After waking up, Jiang Qiao'an was always thirsty, but because she was afraid of the darkness outside the room, she endured until dawn. She calmed down for a moment, and when she turned on the wall lamp by the bed, she accidentally saw a warm light pouring in from the crack of the bedroom door. , was taken aback before remembering that Mu Yin also lived in this apartment.
With others around, there is no need to be afraid. Jiang Qiaoan immediately put on his pajamas and went to the kitchen to drink water. Before leaving, he took half a bottle of brandy and a bottle of soda from the cupboard.
When returning to the bedroom, he passed the living room. Mu Yin, who was watching a movie on the sofa, took off his earphones and asked, "Did I disturb you?"
"No, why haven't you slept yet?"
"I love the bed. It's too uncomfortable to toss and turn. It's better to get up." He smiled very warmly. He glanced at the bottle in Jiang Qiaoan's hand and kindly reminded him, "It's easy to drink with soda, and it's easier to get drunk."
"No, I just have a drink to help me sleep." She wanted to go back to her room, but asked in a strange way, "Would you like a drink?"
Seeing that Mu Yin nodded and said yes, Jiang Qiaoan went to find two more glasses and poured wine for him with her own hands. Her fingers were very beautiful, fair and slender, her nails were neatly trimmed, painted with bright red nail polish, silky The pajamas are also bright red, but it's just such a lively color, but she wears it with a cool connotation.
"Originally, I planned to find another apartment to move out as soon as possible, but I just checked the Internet. It is not easy to find an apartment with a suitable location, size and price, and it is a bit troublesome to move... If you don't mind..." Until now Jiang Qiao Ancai realized that the smell of another person in the house could make her feel at ease, so she began to consider continuing to live.
Before she finished speaking, Mu Yin said: "Of course I don't mind, I agree that you were not forced to live by Mu Yan."
Jiang Qiaoan breathed a sigh of relief: "Tomorrow I will draw up a contract, and I will give you half a year's rent first. I know the third young master of the Mu family will definitely not care about this little money, but if you don't accept it, I will feel sorry anyway."
"I will definitely be scolded by Mu Yan for accepting your money. I don't know how to do housework and I don't want to hire a housekeeper I don't know. I also want to thank you for helping me take care of the house."
Jiang Qiaoan felt that it was boring to push back and forth verbally, so he stopped the topic and raised his glass: "Have a good time getting along, and if you come back for dinner, tell me in advance, and cook your favorite dishes."
Mu Yin didn't push back, just said yes with a smile, the two of them had their own concerns, and drank half a bottle in silence, Jiang Qiaoan was about to get up and go back to the room, when he heard him say, "A few bottles were given by my comrades before I came here. It’s a good wine, it’s not opened yet, let’s try it together?”
Jiang Qiaoan seldom drank baijiu, and he was even more reluctant to see the strength of the bottle: "Everyone of you who have been in the army can drink it, but I can't."
Mu Yin went to the kitchen to change a small cup, and only poured half of it for her: "Try it, this one is not spicy."
She took a sip, raised her head and smiled at him: "It's really not very spicy."
Jiang Qiaoan didn't smile often, and Mu Yin was taken aback.
She is very beautiful and elegant, her eyes are not big but very beautiful, her delicate melon-shaped face is matched with a very tall nose, she is pale and slender like a shade plant when she is silent, when she smiles, a very charming and elegant smile appears on the corner of her mouth The radian is not very beautiful at first glance, but it has a very attractive charm.
When he came back to his senses, Mu Yin realized that his eyes were a little presumptuous. After pouring her a full glass, he changed the subject in a little embarrassment: "I heard from my sister that you could have a better development in the previous city. Why did you suddenly resign?" Come here for a job?"
Jiang Qiaoan was a little sad, and made up a reason to get away. Mu Yin smiled after hearing this: "My sister must have told you that I hid here because Wanyi wanted to get married, but it wasn't true. No matter how stupid I am, I can take it I can let it go. I was born, studied, and worked in the same city. I’ve been in the same city for almost 30 years, so I always feel tired. That’s why I wanted to change to a fresh environment while my parents were still young and didn’t need me to take care of them. Live alone for a while."
The spirit of alcohol gradually increased, and Jiang Qiaoan felt that his words were no longer under control, and consciously felt that it should not be, but he said it out of his mouth: "Except for Zhou Wanyue, I don't want to mention anyone in the Zhou family, especially Zhou Wanyi."
Mu Yin knew that she had a delicate relationship with the Zhou family, but he didn't expect her to tell him so bluntly, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while: "I heard Mu Yan say something about you... Wanyi is not good to you, maybe It's also for my aunt, although she appears to be headstrong and ignorant, she is actually a very nice person."
"She has exactly the same personality as her aunt, so she has the same love as mother and daughter." Jiang Qiaoan sneered and sarcastically. She was the most impatient to argue with others. Half sat back down again.
Mu Yin was silent for a while, and recalled to himself: "When I was a teenager, I got viral keratitis. My family held a birthday party for Mu Yan. Many people came. Grandma didn't want me to be bored in the room alone. I asked a few people of similar age to take me to the garden. Because of my sudden blindness, I became very sensitive and silent. Discord will naturally be violent. Although I can't see it, I kick and bite with all my strength. They are worried that I am a patient, but they don't take advantage of it. To vent their anger, they throw my cat into the swimming pool. Later, Wanyi helped me I picked up the cat and took me back to my room to help me bandage it. But after I had my cornea replaced, she went to another place to work with her parents. It was ten years after we met again. I mentioned the past to her. Totally forgot."
"...I was the one who brought the cat up and bandaged it for you... You later asked Zhou Wanyue who I was, and she said I was her sister... But it's not surprising that you mistaken the person, because you couldn't see me at that time Things, except for Zhou Wanyue, no one would think that I am her sister like Zhou Wanyi." Jiang Qiaoan said blankly, "Of course, neither will I."
When Jiang Qiaoan woke up the next day, she felt regretful again. She and Mu Yin didn't even know each other well, but she actually wanted to ridicule the goddess in others' hearts for a while. Embarrassing—both her father and stepmother have passed away, and she has no relationship with the Zhou family anymore. If she didn't take advantage of the drunkenness, how could she mention all the grievances in the past to others.
When he walked out of the room, he heard the sound of water flowing in the shower room of the guest bathroom. Jiang Qiaoan knew that Mu Yin had woken up, so he began to prepare a double breakfast.She didn't know Mu Yin's taste, so she had to follow Mu Yan's preference, fried egg fried rice with diced bamboo shoots, edamame, carrots and bacon, and cut a few thin slices of ham and fried it to cover it.
Jiang Qiaoan has always been neat in his work, and the kitchen was already cleaned up when he turned off the fire and loaded the dishes. Seeing Mu Yin coming out of the bathroom, he poured soy milk and greeted him for dinner.
Mu Yin was a little surprised. After sitting down, he praised the delicious breakfast and chatted with her. From the weather, work, current affairs to the latest movie, the short-lived differences last night disappeared, as if they never existed.
Because of rushing to work, the morning time is always very precious. Jiang Qiaoan didn’t have time to clean up the dishes. After eating, he went back to his room to take a shower and change clothes. He didn’t sleep well last night, and he could see clearly in the mirror through layers of fog Naturally, foundation couldn't cover up the dark circles under her eyes, so she simply chose thick black eyeliner and put on a slightly heavy makeup.
When Jiang Qiaoan went out with her bag, Mu Yin was standing solemnly in the kitchen studying how to use dish soap. Seeing this, she couldn't help laughing: "Just leave it alone, I wash dishes at night."
"You cooked the rice, of course I have to wash the dishes." Seeing that she seemed to be going to work, Mu Yin quickly put down the things in his hand, put on his coat and went out together, "I'll drive you."
Jiang Qiaoan was puzzled at first, and then remembered that his car was still parked in the company, so he declined with a smile: "Don't bother, I can take a taxi or take the subway."
"I'm going to work in the afternoon, and I'm going to meet my friends in the morning, so I just drop by to drop you off."
When Mu Yin went to get the car, Jiang Qiaoan waited in the garden downstairs. Within 2 minutes, the silver extended car drove out of the underground garage, but she didn't intend to drive here. She was a little strange, and immediately waved.
It took a full ten seconds for the car to turn around. Jiang Qiaoan opened the door and said with a smile, "Didn't you say it's good to wait here? Why don't you just drive out..."
Jiang Qiaoan was dumbfounded when he saw the person sitting in the driver's seat, and Shi Mochi asked inexplicably, "Miss Jiang wants a ride?"
She didn't know how to advance or retreat, but fortunately she heard the horn of the car behind, turned her head and saw Mu Yin with the window down, said to Shi Mochi in a hurry, "Sorry, I got the wrong car" and immediately closed the car door and ran over.
Seeing that identical car whizzing by his car, for a moment, Mo Chi almost had the urge to run into it.
"It's embarrassing?" Mu Yin saw Jiang Qiaoan's uneasiness, and comforted him with a smile, "Mu Yan also often misidentifies the wrong car. She always only looks at the appearance and doesn't look at the license plate, but she blames Li Yijiang's cars all over the street. This car is too small.”
