miss you dearly

Chapter 9 The distance of dreams (5)
Xi He didn't seem to hear, and turned to discuss professional issues with Supervisor Zhang.

Supervisor Zhang handed over the project report that was about to be completed: "All standards are up to standard, and the evaluation can pass."

Xi He took the evaluation report and looked through it: "How is the progress?"

"The project is nearing completion. If there is no accident, it can be completed within ten days, which is half a month earlier than the time of signing the contract. Huacheng's integrity is completely trustworthy." Supervisor Zhang should be satisfied, because he smiled.

However, Xi He changed the subject and asked half jokingly and half seriously: "I heard that Supervisor Li and Mr. Tang have a good personal relationship."

"Deputy Director Xi was joking, please believe in my ability and professional ethics." Supervisor Li said firmly.

"That's natural." Xi He closed the documents in his hand, smiled, "Thank you." Then he looked at Tang Yifan: "The general office will send someone to do the assessment tomorrow. If it goes well, we can catch up with the preliminary review."

Tang Yifan was still thinking about the connection between Han Nuo and qualifications, but Xi He didn't mention a word.

Ji Ruoning called Xi Yan as soon as she got home.

Xi Yan still doesn't know about Huacheng's declaration of qualifications: "Why did you come back so soon, isn't it planned to play for half a month?"

Ji Ruoning succinctly explained the joint bidding between Huacheng and Wen's, and finally asked: "Wen Xingyuan didn't tell you about such a big matter? Why do I think that he put such a large investment in City A and divorced you?" Doesn't matter?"

Xi Yan was sitting in front of the window basking in the sun, she gently stirred the coffee, forward, reverse, and repeated: "Can you stop putting everything related to Wen Xingyuan on me? He is the helm of the group, investing in this It's not a joke."

"That's why he's serious about you." Ji Ruoning didn't agree with her: "Such a superb man, someone else would have jumped on him long ago, but you are still hesitating here. What's the matter, you guys, I'll leave this paragraph Has time progressed?"

"Can you stop gossiping like this? Your husband is going to do a project, and you haven't thought about how to win this project for the design institute."

Ji Ruoning laughed softly, "With you here, I don't worry that this design will fall into the hands of other design institutes."

"Don't get involved with me, Wen Xingyuan is a person who distinguishes between public and private." Seeing Ji Ruoning's laughter, Xi Yan slightly annoyed: "Have you taken laughing medicine?"

"Wen Xingyuan is a person who distinguishes between public and private." Ji Ruoning imitated her speech, and did not forget to comment at the end: "It's a very understanding and trusting tone."

Xi Yan wanted to strangle her to death.

Ji Ruoning also added fuel and vinegar: "I have a hunch that Wen Xingyuan is going to come to an end."

Xi Yan began to wonder if Ji Ruoning regarded Wen Xingyuan as a male god, so why did she turn her every sentence towards him?

A week later, Huacheng Construction appeared on the list of companies with special qualifications for preliminary examination announced on the Internet. As a wife, Ji Ruoning excitedly called Xi Yan and asked her to have an evening get-together.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the brothers and sisters of the Xi family appeared in the private club "Upstream" in casual clothes.

Huacheng was able to pass the preliminary review in such a short period of time. Xi He helped a lot. Faced with Tang Yifan's sincere thanks, he smiled disapprovingly, "If the evaluation fails, I can't do anything, but there was some misunderstanding before."

"It's good to have a misunderstanding." Tang Yifan has also been in the mall for a long time, and it's not difficult to hear the ambiguity, but because of Xi He's point, he also avoids talking: "Xi He, I toast you."

Xi He raised his glass with a smile: "Everything is ready now, I'm just waiting for the two of you brothers to join hands to win this project, don't let me pick out the thorns, otherwise I will show no mercy."

"Guaranteed to complete the task." Tang Yifan also raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp.

At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open by the waiter, and Tang Yifan criticized the visitor, "Your speed is comparable to that of a snail."

"You think I'm flying a plane." His eyes flicked over Xi Yan, and Wen Xingyuan walked up to Xi He and sat down in a calm and unrestrained way.

Xi Yan didn't know in advance that he was coming, and she seemed to be calm on the surface, but she became nervous uncontrollably in her heart.Just a few days ago, Wen Xingyuan called in the early morning, and Xi Yan heard him ask while half asleep and half awake, "When will you give me the answer?"

She didn't understand, so: "What answer?"

"The four kinds of friends I mentioned, which one do you choose?" The man's deep and hoarse voice was extraordinarily charming in the silent night, and Xi Yan's drowsiness disappeared completely.

Wen Xingyuan didn't rush her, and waited in silence for a long time, until Xiyan thought that there was no one on the phone, he continued: "There are some things I have never said, but my actions have proved everything. Xiaoyan, I Waiting longer than you think. Promise me, think about it, I don't want to be sent out like this."

Don't just like this, there is no beginning, just the end.

It turned out that it was true.

When the Xi family was almost in desperation, he suddenly returned to China and organized his mother's funeral together with Xi He. At the same time, with the influence of the Wen family, he used all available connections to win the lawsuit for his father. She took her to the ancient city and stayed with her for a year. Even if she left, she entrusted her to her good brother Zhang Ziliang.

Every phone call, every sarcasm, every word, every word, is all of calm and caring.

Xi Yan thought it was because of his brotherhood with Xi He.

It turned out that it was all her self-righteousness.

After hanging up the phone, Xi Yan stayed up all night.

As many times as she has gone back and forth, she never forgets Han Nuo.As much as Wen Xingyuan understood her, he was so angry that he couldn't help it.He picked up the wine glass, raised his head to finish it, the cold liquid slid down his throat, burning hot into his heart.

It is said that the more you drink, the warmer you get, but at this time, no amount of wine can warm Wen Xingyuan's cold heart.As if empathizing with his emotions, Xi Yan suddenly turned her head, and those indifferent eyes fell into his eyes.

Want to hide, but there is nowhere to escape.That's it, standoff.

Finally, Wen Xingyuan was defeated, he restrained himself and showed too much emotion, "What, haven't seen a stranger for a few days? Come here."

The deep and shallow smile was very calm, Xi Yan hesitated for a few seconds, then got up and sat next to him: "Did you come here for that piece of land?"

She regretted it as soon as she said it, annoyed that she had found the worst topic.Sure enough, Wen Xingyuan was also dissatisfied with her opening remarks: "You think it is." Seeing her silence, he couldn't bear it anymore, and knocked on her forehead affectionately: "I have been hiding there since I entered the door, afraid of me ?”

Xi Yan didn't dodge, and glared at him, "Does it show that your arms are long? You really don't have hands."

"It's longer than you anyway." Wen Xingyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, leaning back on the sofa, showing a bit of laziness, and deliberately swayed his long legs outstretched in front of her: "Legs too."

The man's black eyes were like stars twinkling in the cold night sky, shining frighteningly.Xi Yan watched with a smile in his eyes, "I also have very long legs."

"Bibi?"

"Who is afraid of who?"

Childish, like two children.

Wen Xingyuan seemed to have forgotten the question about friends, and Xi Yan didn't seem to know what he was thinking.However, the hidden worry in his eyes and the pretended ease in her smile all made the answer obvious.

"Yo, such a tacit understanding." Tang Yifan turned his attention to the two of them, blinking ambiguously: "Yanyan, my brother and sister are also diamond-level bachelors after all, you two are unmarried men and women, how about making do with each other?" ? Say the wrong thing, I mean, you make do with him?"

Wen Xingyuan stretched out his leg and kicked him, but he smiled and said nothing, with a meek look waiting to be accepted.

Ji Ruoning moved to sit next to Tang Yifan, and echoed, "It's just a makeshift, it's obviously a man of talent."

These words were very pleasing to Wen Xingyuan's ears, and he gave Ji Ruoning a thumbs up without hesitation, expressing his approval of the compliment of "talented man and beautiful woman".

Xi Yan could not wait to give Ji Ruoning a second blow: "It shows that you are good at learning idioms."

As for the eldest brother of the Xi family, who was born with the same root as Xi Yan, he didn't have the slightest intention of defending the younger sister, with a smile on his face, he seemed to say: Xingyuan, you can figure it out, take it away if you like it, don't worry about me at all.

Wen Xingyuan looked straight at Xi Yan, he was still in a lazy posture, but his eyes were focused as if he could burn her in the next second.Looking at the chiseled face in front of her, Xi Yan's heartbeat quickened, and then she heard him ask: "Why don't we follow the will of the public?"

In the past, Xi Yan would definitely run on him with a few words, and she has always been far from Wen Xing when she is harsher than her words.But this time, even if Wen Xingyuan deliberately concealed it with a casual tone, his eyes could not deceive anyone.

too serious.

Xi Yan hurriedly got up: "I, go to the bathroom."

In a panic.

Both Tang Yifan and Xi He reminded Wen Xingyuan to chase him out with their eyes, but he sat still.Seeing this, Ji Ruoning wanted to follow her out, but he didn't let her go, "Don't force her."

Three words, is his tolerance of love.

Of course, Xi Yan didn't really want to go to the bathroom, but went out of the clubhouse and squatted on the bench in front of the door.One year in the ancient city, the details of getting along with Wen Xingyuan are like a slow-motion replay, and scenes emerge in front of him.

When he first arrived in the ancient city, facing her slump, he made a gentle promise: "Call me if you need anything, anytime."

She changed from drinking black coffee to drinking strong alcohol, and he comforted softly: "Some people, you won't lose them if you don't want them to."

When she finally had a smile on her face, they could stand in front of the bar and tease each other like friends who have known each other for many years. He said with a smile: "If you attack me again, I have no obligation to maintain my demeanor."

The moonlight was very good at that time, and they got along like this, just like meeting another person for the first time.

The whole world is beautiful for it.

In fact, after more than 1000 days of self-imposed exile, Xi Yan has changed a lot. At least she is no longer as attached to anything as before. Even before she decided to return from the ancient town, she was thinking that if she saw Han Nuo again, she would say to him: " Thanks."

Thank you for loving me in every possible way.

Thank you for giving up on me, resolutely.

He had already done enough psychological construction, but he didn't expect him to say: "Start again." But he turned a blind eye to her refusal.

Wen Xingyuan thought that what Xi Yan turned off to avoid was the kiss he couldn't help on the day of parting, but he didn't know that what Xi Yan avoided was Han Nuo's redeeming text messages one after another.

"Somewhere in time, our steps were so close. I don't know whether to blame God's will, or lament my fragility and lack of persistence. When happiness flows away from my fingertips like quicksand, Yan Yan, I humbly pray that everything will return You can go back."

"If time could be turned back, I would not let go of your hand. Yan Yan, please forgive me for not daring to speak, I just want to tell you, 'I love you', please give our love a chance to start again."

Every time I turn on the phone, Han Nuo's text messages will flood in. Xi Yan reads it and deletes it.But this is everywhere, can there be no ripples in my heart?After all, that was the person she loved with all her strength.

With a sigh, Xi Yan embraced herself with both arms, with a slender back and a fragile posture, lonely and helpless.

The sound of approaching footsteps disturbed her, and when a masculine coat was draped over her shoulders, Xi Yan raised her head.

Under the soft and yellowish streetlights, the man in the light blue shirt had a warm aura and calm eyes.

Their eyes met, and he said, "Yanyan, I made things difficult for you."

Embarrassed?Xi Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Yes, it's so embarrassing."

I lost it three years ago, why do I still feel the pain of letting go until now?

Then, two voices rang out in succession:

It was Han Nuo who was warm and hoarse, and he promised her: "Yan Yan, I will always be by your side."

It was Wen Xingyuan who was deep and magnetic, and he told her, "Xiaoyan, I'm always by your side!"

The former asked her: "Give our love a chance to start over."

The latter asked her, "Tell me, what kind of friends do we belong to?"

The soft corners of her chest were soaked, and Xi Yan almost choked up, but she still said clearly: "We can't go back."

Han Nuo turned her face towards him, as if to see insincere words in her eyes, but failed.He embraced her in silence, hugging her tightly, as if saying goodbye.

However, not far away, someone stood at the door of the clubhouse, still smiling wryly.
