When winter nights are getting warmer

Chapter 6

{I go through the hurt, the most beautiful answer is your love. }
[01]

Xun Yijiang is 23 years old and one year older.

It's a pity that she didn't get off to a good start. In order to relieve her bad mood the day before, she and Xiao Ma went through several topic selections in a row. After the manuscript was sent out, Ou Chaoguang called her into the office.

She pushed the door and entered, and there was a man with cross-legged legs sitting on the oblique sofa. He was wearing a long goat leather jacket with the zipper unzipped, and he was lazily leaning on the back of the sofa. Familiar, but not familiar.Yi Jiang remained calm and stood aside quietly: "Director Ou."

Hearing the voice, the man's eyes slowly drifted over: "Is she Xun Yijiang?"

"Yes, she was the one who did the interview. There may be some discrepancies with the facts. Let's sit down and talk." Ou Zhaoguang pointed to a chair beside him and motioned her to sit down.Yijiang followed good deeds like a stream, and he already had clarity in his heart.Among the several topics she chose one after another, only one was about rights protection disputes. Hengyi Real Estate, the largest real estate group in Lijiang City, is buying a century-old street in the city center, the facade shops in Lihua Lane, and 70.00% of the household owners have agreed. However, the remaining 30.00% are swearing to stick to the old site handed down from their ancestors.Probably because Hengyi Real Estate failed to persuade the remaining heads of households successfully, and as a result, there was a nasty mob fight on the street.

Ou Chaoguang leaned slightly, looking through the lens at the person on the sofa: "Mr. Li, I have also carefully read Reporter Xun's manuscript. Basically, she does not have any subjective emotions. This is the manuscript I just printed out. Would you like to see it?"

The man on the sofa put his legs down, stood up and took the paper, and after sweeping it briefly, he frowned: "The heads of households are all scoundrels, and the reason why they disagree is because they want to extort more money."

"Mr. Li." Yi Jiang couldn't help straightening his back, "According to the facts I learned from the interview, you Hengyi Real Estate hired thugs to threaten the head of the household. I think this kind of behavior is a scoundrel and a hooligan! "

The man called "Mr. Li" narrowed his eyes and crossed his hands on the armrest of the sofa. He seemed to be thinking, and soon turned his gaze back to Ou Chaoguang: "Director Ou, I'm here in person this time. I don't want to know the ins and outs of this matter. The acquisition is not in my control. If it is the negligence of my subordinates, I will definitely punish it when I go back. I heard that the ratings of "Lijiang Evening Broadcast" have always been high, and they are currently attracting investment. I would like to ask, how much will be the title advertising fee for the whole year of next year? Hengyi has newly developed a real estate in the urban area, and just needs an opportunity to promote it."

A smile appeared on Ou Chaoguang's face. He stepped forward to pick up the phone and dialed the number, saying, "I'm only in charge of business. There is a special person in charge of advertising. I'll help you get in touch."

Yi Jiang's face gradually sank, it's great to be rich, if you spend money on advertisements, why can't you use money to appease the heads of households and meet their most basic needs.She was sullen, and finally waited for Ou Chaoguang to let her go. She stood up quickly, turned around and walked out of the office without saying goodbye.Unexpectedly, that Boss Li also followed, put on his sunglasses and walked to her side, lowered his head and chuckled, "Xun Yijiang?"

Yi Jiang stopped and looked at him warily.The man smiled nonchalantly, took out an envelope from his pocket, and handed it to her between his fingertips: "A girl has been running outside all day, it's hard work."

Yijiang looked down at the envelope and knew what was inside. She raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Mr. Li's huge advertising fee is enough. Our income for the whole year next year will be directly linked to your big money."

The man smiled instead of anger, retracted the envelope, touched it, then took out a business card, and quickly stuffed it into Yi Jiang's pocket.Yi Jiang took a step back subconsciously, the man raised his eyebrows suddenly, and smiled: "You really don't remember me?"

Yi Jiang frowned, looked him over carefully, and noticed the scar on his eyelid at a glance.Ah, yes!It was the drunk man I met in the "Northern Lights" bar that day!At that time, he was drinking and dressed casually, so he couldn't recognize him at the first time.Yi Jiang stared at him vigilantly, lowered his voice and asked, "What do you want to do? What do you want to do here!"

"You will know what I want to do in the future." He smiled nonchalantly, then waved his arm and turned to leave, "My name is Li Mingen, don't forget next time."

Seeing the back of him striding out, Yi Jiang slowly retracted his gaze, and reached into his pocket, just in time to touch the thin business card.Take a look, the general manager of Hengyi Real Estate, Li Mingen.

It turned out to be the youngest son of Li Guanghui, chairman of Hengyi Real Estate.

Frustrated by the rejection of the manuscript, she was not at all dispelled by the credit for the huge advertisement. She buried her head in front of the computer and pulled Sun Huohuo from the friend list.At this time, Jiang Yisen, who had just heard about it, stopped when he passed her.Her curly hair was tied back in a simple ball, and the hair was loose and looked even more furry.He hesitated for a few seconds, and finally walked over, and threw the stack of manuscripts in his hand to her desk: "Aren't you going out? Nothing to do? Then help me take these materials and copy them, I need them urgently after the meeting. "

Yi Jiang raised his head in confusion. Could it be that his assistant Chen Guo didn't do these things?As if guessing what she was thinking, Jiang Yisen raised his chin towards Chen Guoran's seat: "She asked for leave to fall in love, and you're fine anyway."

Yi Jiang could only slander in her heart, she picked up the documents and walked out without saying a word.What kind of leader is this? Is it reasonable to let my assistant ask for leave to fall in love, and then arrange her to do trivial things outside of her duties?
The copier was still rumbling, and she received a call from Sun Huohuo: "Yijiang, are you online? Did you see the news about Zoya?"

Zoya is an entertainer contracted by an entertainment company in this city, she is considered a second-tier star, but Yi Jiang has never pursued stars, nor has she paid attention to the news in the entertainment circle.She put on a teasing tone: "Sun Huohuo, you're starting to like Zoya? Haven't you always liked Chen Miaoyan?"

"Oh, look at that picture of her having a tryst with a rich man!"

Yi Jiang picked up the copied document, returned to his seat with the phone between his hands, turned on the computer and entered keywords, and soon a page popped up: "I saw it, what's so interesting?"

"That rich man, does he look like your father... Does that car belong to your family?"

Before the voice on the other end of the phone fell, Yijiang's hand holding the mouse was already frozen, as if a nightmare had come. This time, what she saw in the entertainment lace news was her biological father, Xun Zesheng.She sat there for a long time, and then remembered to call her father, but the phone was turned off when she dialed out. It seems that the news is true.

Before noon, the identity of the secret rich man was dug out, and Xun Zesheng was immediately exposed.

Large-scale reports on the Internet traced Xun Zesheng's family history one by one, followed by his ex-wife, Xun Yijiang's biological mother, Jiao Jie.She was the leading actress of Lijiang TV station in the early days, and she was also known as the golden microphone of Lijiang TV station, but at the peak of her career, she suffered from depression and finally committed suicide by jumping off a building.This past event happened before Xun Yijiang remembered it. She only heard about it from her father, but she didn't understand the whole story.Now that these truths were presented before her eyes in such a way, she suddenly became short of breath, and cold sweat broke out on her back.

Flipping down the page, Zeng Qian's photo was also exposed, and some unscrupulous reporters claimed that she was a mistress, and the language was extremely bad.Yijiang began to tremble all over, her teeth were clenched together, she obviously didn't want to look any more, but her fingers moved the mouse unconsciously, and then she saw the big picture on the entertainment headline again, the young and beautiful Zhuoya was climbing on Xun Zesheng's On the neck, the smile on the face is dazzling.

The world began to shake, the hotline jingled and jingled, and people came and went, but she was weak and leaned back on the chair.At this time, a female colleague walked over with her head down and played with her mobile phone. Passing by Yijiang, she suddenly took a few steps back, raised her mobile phone and handed it in front of her: "Is Xun Zesheng your father? It seems so, right?"

Yi Jiang held her breath, and stared at the magnified face on the phone screen without moving. She had thick eyebrows, a simple smile, and her eyes under the lens were full of loving care.Her eyes suddenly itched, and the muscles on her cheeks began to tremble uncontrollably. She wanted to smile and say of course not, but she couldn't say it, maybe she should stand up and say something about your shit, but she didn't even have the strength to stand up .

In such a short few seconds, more colleagues had come over. They noticed her abnormal behavior and saw the same photo on her computer. They discussed, tried, and tried to comfort her, but Yi Jiang's But no words could be heard in the ears, only humming and roaring.Then she heard a not-so-pleasing female voice: "What's the squeeze? Are you still working or not? Get out of the way. I have an emergency to run away! What does family affairs have to do with you?"

The crowd dispersed one after another, and a thin figure walked out.Yijiang glanced lightly, it was Pei Anqi, wearing a sweater and jeans, with a ponytail, more student-like than she looked.She didn't have the strength to distinguish between her good and her evil, she just pushed away her chair dejectedly, got up, and walked to the door step by step.

The pace was getting faster and faster, she started running in the corridor, the elevator couldn't wait for a long time, she turned around and rushed into the stairs, running down round and round.The speed was too fast, there was no time to brake when turning, the whole person rushed out, hit the wall, and fell to the ground.Her knees were scratched and her forehead was dizzy from the impact. She hugged her knees in vain, and then slowly, slowly buried her face in her arms.

I don't know how long it took, but hurried and heavy footsteps sounded, and the sound got closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of her.Yi Jiang raised his head slowly, the person in front of him stood upright, the light from the ceiling lamp poured down, his face was hidden, his expression could not be seen clearly, only the disordered breathing could be heard.She suddenly longed for those silent but penetrating deep eyes. Although she only looked at her quietly, she had already spoken a thousand words.

"Jiang..." Her voice was almost inaudible, like a fragile thread, and she couldn't speak any more after only one word.

The person in front of her had already sorted out her emotions, and squatted down to look her in the eyes: "A few words on the Internet are just for boring netizens to talk about drinking. You are your father's daughter, and you are heart-to-heart. Believe in your own heart. Come on, stand up, or keep your spirits up and continue to work, or submit a leave note to me, so leaving without authorization should not be what a qualified TV person should do."

Under his aggressive gaze, Yi Jiang stood up while leaning on the wall: "I'm sorry, I want to ask you for a day off."

[02]

No one answered Xun Zesheng's cell phone, and Zeng Qian was not at home. Yijiang made countless calls anxiously, but there was still no news from the two of them.She sank powerlessly on the sofa, not daring to watch TV or look at her mobile phone. She just sat there blankly, staring blankly at the photo wall behind the TV. The family of three smiled so brightly.

It was when she was just admitted to university, Xun Zesheng was so happy that he wanted to show off everywhere, Zeng Qian followed behind and always stopped him helplessly and funny, as long as the two of them looked at each other, there was a silent flow of affection.At that time, Yi Jiang always thought, how can an old couple who have been married for so many years still agree with each other so affectionately?Perhaps the love that other people no longer believe in is actually timeless.

Such feelings, how can there be a third party, how can there be a third party.

The sun is setting and the moon is rising, the days are getting shorter and shorter, and the night has come, there is no light in the house, only the light coming in from the window shines on Yi Jiang's face, shining brightly.There was a noise outside the door, she stood up hastily, before she could put on her slippers, she hurried over barefoot.The door opened, and Zeng Qian and Xun Zesheng walked in one after the other. Both of them were expressionless, exuding the coldness outside. It turned out that it was raining, and the floor mat was dripping wet.

She hurriedly turned on the light, rushed into the bathroom to get a dry towel, and walked out, the two of them were already sitting opposite each other at the dining table.Yi Jiang didn't dare to disturb her, and walked over gently holding the towel: "Mom, wipe your hair."

Zeng Qian didn't raise her head, her eyebrows were still lowered, as if she was studying her nails.Yijiang turned to Xun Zesheng and shouted timidly, "Father..."

"Let's get a divorce." Xun Zesheng said suddenly, he didn't look at his daughter, but only at his wife's elegant neck curve.He felt a little pain in his eyes, and his vision was blurred a lot. Recently, he was tired from using his eyes, and his eyesight probably declined a lot.

With a bang, it was Yijiang who accidentally touched the dining chair, and the chair legs slid across the floor, making a harsh sound.She hurriedly supported her, her face was full of panic, she repeated her last unfinished sentence, trying to erase the dreamlike babble: "Dad, wipe your hair."

Xun Zesheng finally raised his head. He glanced at Yijiang's face. The little girl's eye circles were already red, but she insisted on holding on to a smile.She's so good, she's always so obedient and trusts herself so much, he really doesn't want to let her down.He took the towel and held it tightly with his big hands. He heard his restrained voice: "Yijiang, Dad is sorry for you and Mom. Dad already has someone else in his heart."

"Impossible." Yi Jiang stepped forward to sit in front of him and grabbed his hand, "The news is all speculation, it must be Zoya who wants to be popular and drags Dad into the water."

Xun Zesheng's Adam's apple rolled, and he pulled out his hand abruptly: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, I'm determined to get a divorce, Zeng Qian, you can give me what you want, savings and real estate, whatever you want. "

"Dad!" Yi Jiang finally cried out, "What about me? Dad, what about me? Don't you even want me anymore?"

Xun Zesheng turned his head and silently pushed the heavy frame on the bridge of his nose.Zeng Qian, who had been silent all this time, finally said: "I agree." She raised her clear eyes and stared at the man who had been with her for 20 years, "In the past 20 years, thank you for what you have done to me and this family, and thank you for your dedication to me as always. I am accommodating and tolerant. Lao Xun, I agree to the divorce."

A sudden flash of lightning outside the window lit up the living room, Yi Jiang looked at Zeng Qian, who was calm and incredulous, with a pale face.She thought she would refuse, cry, and make trouble, but she never expected that she would agree so simply.The rain poured down, crackling against the window sill, and then she heard a thunder, muffled, as if it tore the sky.

The next day, Xun Zesheng voluntarily moved out of his home, but Zeng Qian did not persuade him to stay, and silently helped him pack his clothes and luggage.Before he left, he helped him straighten the neckline of his suit.The two bid farewell at the porch, did not see each other, just took a deep look, and seemed to have exhausted all the words in the world.That day, Zeng Qian locked herself in the bedroom, not a drop of water entered, and she didn't take half a step.In the evening, she came out again, put on makeup, and put on a small dress that was only turned out during festivals, a red sleeveless jumpsuit, and a pair of black lambskin high-heeled shoes.She didn't leave a word and didn't return all night.

After the long night passed, Yijiang watched the sky light up little by little. She sat up with difficulty and wanted to check the time with her mobile phone, only to find that the battery had already run out because of countless calls.And those phone calls, all disappeared.She knew that Zeng Qian was an adult and capable enough to take care of herself, but she was afraid that she would not think about doing something stupid, and it was still raining continuously outside the window, and she was also afraid that she would be in danger.Thinking of this, she felt restless, unable to stabilize her emotions no matter what.The horn of the car sounded outside the window, and she jumped off the bed suddenly, and without taking a shower, she put on her coat and rushed out.

The rain was so heavy that the umbrella couldn't stop it, and the wind swept the rain on her face, and she could hardly keep her eyes open.She held on tightly to the handle of the umbrella and walked forward with difficulty. As soon as she walked out of the community, she saw a familiar Land Rover. She didn't stop and walked forward with big strides.At this moment, the car door opened, and Jiang Yisen hurried down, catching up with her: "Xun Yijiang!"

She stopped, turned around, and looked confused.Her face looked pale, without a trace of blood, staring at a pair of dark circles, in a trance, is she looking for death by rushing forward without thinking?He snatched her umbrella, pulled her closer to him, lowered his head to explain his abruptness: "You didn't ask for leave yesterday, and you will be deducted [-] wages for a day of absenteeism."

"Sorry, I forgot." She raised her head slowly, "I can't go to work today, sorry."

Jiang Yisen was suddenly upset, he didn't like to hear her say sorry, especially like now, she seemed to faint in the next second, she was so weak, but she kept bowing and repeating sorry over and over again.Who is she sorry for?Sorry, only herself!
"Get in the car!" He held her wrist tightly and walked in the direction of the car. Yi Jiang suddenly woke up and shook his head violently: "No, I'm going to find my mother, I'm afraid something will happen to her."

"I'll accompany you!" Jiang Yisen opened the car door without any explanation, and with a force of his arm, he dragged her to the passenger seat.The door was slammed shut with a "snap", Yi Jiang was shocked all over, and nestled obediently into the seat.Jiang Yisen got into the car, looked down at the man with timid eyes, and felt distressed for no reason. This expression did not belong to her. She should be in high spirits, not like a falling cherry tree that was hit by rain.

That day, they drove around the entire Lijiang City, going back and forth along the river no less than three times. The rain was torrential, and there was a curling fog on the river, connecting the water and the sky.Jiangjing is a city attraction in Lijiang. The ferry crossing the river is crowded with people all the year round, but in this weather, no one would choose this mode of transportation. The river is so quiet that there is only the sound of rain.There was a deathly silence in the car, only the wipers swung repeatedly, and the hot breath covered the windows with a layer of water vapor. Yi Jiang leaned weakly on the glass, and stretched out his hand to paddle slowly.

"The phone can still be connected, but no one answers it. It should be that nothing happened. Otherwise, no one will find out overnight."

Yi Jiang turned his head when he heard this, and looked at him firmly with a pair of moist eyes.Jiang Yisen was shocked, and then said: "If your mother's mobile phone is installed and located, we should be able to search for it when we go back now."

"Forget it." She suddenly said quietly, "Don't look for it, she will be fine."

The rain splashed on the front mirror of the car, splashing one after another. Jiang Yisen stopped and turned to look at her. Although his spirit had eased a lot and his consciousness was clear, his whole body was still covered with rain-like melancholy.He waited quietly for a while, then sighed: "Okay, I'll take you home."

[03]

Back in the office, the turmoil had calmed down, and everyone was busy with the work at hand, as if no one remembered what happened to Yi Jiang.She still partnered with Xiao Ma, ran some hotline calls from the audience to select topics, and worked hard to fight for the number of manuscripts.Hao Wenrou just came up with the courier from downstairs, and seeing that she was about to go out again, she couldn't help sighing, "Are you trying to defeat my Wenrou sister as the manuscript king?"

Yijiang smiled modestly: "I asked for leave two days ago, and I will make up for it in these few days, otherwise the task will not be completed."

Just about to leave, Jiang Yisen leaned out from the office: "Xiao Xun, come to my office."

"I have a job, so I'm leaving." She raised the microphone in her hand.

"Just 2 minutes, you ask the driver to wait."

Yi Jiang put down the equipment and walked into the office. The door was ajar, but she knocked symbolically: "Producer Jiang?"

"Come in."

She opened the door and walked in. Jiang Yisen was sitting behind the table, frowning, staring at her motionless.She was a little weak, and her voice was weak and moaned: "Boss, what do you want from me?"

Jiang Yisen looked back and forth at her face. After a while, he retracted his gaze and leaned back in his chair: "Next week we are going to the countryside to shoot a series of short films. You are ready to pack everything you need to bring."

"How many days?" Yijiang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was business.

Jiang Yisen paid close attention to her expression all the time, and nothing escaped his eyes. Seeing her eyes suddenly light up, he knew he had made the right decision: "Two days, only one night, if the weather forecast is accurate , our filming should go well."

Yi Jiang nodded, seeing that Jiang Yisen had no intention of continuing, she was about to retreat.Just holding the doorknob, Jiang Yisen suddenly called her: "Wait a minute, take this with you." When she heard the sound, she turned her head and did not know where Jiang Yisen took out a paper bag, and threw it on the table casually, with an impatient expression on her face : "It rained yesterday to prevent colds and illnesses. The bottle has written when to take it. Take a few pills each time. Just follow the steps."

Yi Jiang looked down at the paper bag, and it turned out to be all kinds of medicines, such as cold medicine, fever medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, and even stomach medicine and digestive medicine. Company benefits?"

Jiang Yisen raised his eyebrows eagerly, and looked at her in disbelief. Is this girl not afraid of him anymore?But it was rare that she seemed to be in a good mood, she was much stronger than he imagined.

After being reminded by Jiang Yisen, Yijiang really felt a little dizzy and stuffy, and she almost put her chin on the keyboard when she came back from the news to write a manuscript.The high-intensity work made her a little overwhelmed, but only in this way can she get rid of the messy thoughts in her mind. She doesn't want to think about the cruel reality.Every day is still the same as before, nothing has changed.

At this time, the phone rang, and she sat up straight in shock, but it was Xun Zesheng's voice: "Yijiang, your mother and I are going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to file for a divorce this afternoon, are you coming?"

She was leaning on the armchair, holding the mobile phone tightly in her hands, looking out through the window, a bare plane tree, the last yellow leaf was suddenly blown off by the wind.The lonely and falling leaves, only twirl a few times, then fall into the dust, scattered and crushed into mud.

"Father, I'll go, I'll accompany you." She finally spoke.

She finished her work quickly and took a taxi directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau. She had also come here for an interview before. It was the news about the No. 20 newcomer group registration in May. She didn't expect that the divorce registration office was next to the marriage registration office.And Xun Zesheng and Zeng Qian were waiting there right now.

The two marriage certificates soon became two divorce certificates as the seal was stamped.Yijiang knew that it was hard to get over the water.Walking out of the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the bleak sunlight shone whitely on her body.She walked very fast at the front, and Xun Zesheng stopped her: "Father will take you back to Taiwan?"

"No need, you can see mom. I'll take a taxi back." She stopped and turned around. Xun Zesheng, whom he hadn't seen for many days, had so many gray hairs.

Zeng Qian who was on the side shook her head, her eyes were full of tiredness: "I drove here by myself, no need, let's go." When she said these words, she kept her head down, and finally she raised it up. Tears finally slid down the still beautiful face, "Old Xun, thank you..."

Yi Jiang hurriedly turned her head away, her chest was full of crying like a tide, she knew that this marriage was completely over from now on, getting together and breaking up was the most decisive ending.She didn't pursue Zeng Qian's repeated thank you in detail, and there were only three cold words "Let's go" in her mind.It was so cruel, she couldn't even do anything, they didn't think about her, they made a decision directly and simply.She sniffed and cheered up again: "Then dad, send me off, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet every day in the future."

As she spoke, she turned her back sadly, her voice choked unbearably, Xun Zesheng patted her shoulder silently, and then strode towards the car.Yi Jiang rubbed his eyes, bid farewell to Zeng Qian and chased after her.The car slid quietly and quickly merged into the traffic flow.Yi Jiang asked: "Father, you and Zoya..."

"Father broke up with her. As soon as the news came out, I made it clear to her." Xun Zesheng still stared straight ahead, his voice was flat, without any emotion.

It was the first time Yijiang heard his acknowledgment of this relationship from him, and he felt sad, because it was Zoya's appearance that broke the family relationship. Maybe she was not the root cause, but at least she did. A fuse.She said with difficulty: "Zoya is younger than her mother, what else is there besides this? Do you regret it?"

Xun Zesheng turned his head and reached out to touch her head: "You are still young, and you don't understand many things."

They all felt that she didn't understand anything, so they didn't want to tell her anything. It was the same with her parents' divorce, and it was the same with Jiang Ling's resignation and job-hopping. It was as if she was just a Barbie doll living in her own world. enough.

[04]

After the divorce, Xun Zesheng officially left home. He left the house to Zeng Qian, but Zeng Qian was unwilling to come back.Probably because she is afraid of seeing things and thinking about others, only she is still nostalgic, and wants to relive the happiness of the past in her sleep.It's just that when she woke up, facing the deserted and quiet home, she also wanted to find a safe haven to hide.

So this business trip to the countryside is really good for Yijiang, maybe he can take this opportunity to catch his breath.

There are more than a dozen people in the team going to the countryside. In addition to the film crew, there are two coordinators and two reporters. The host is Luo Tian. This is her first job as a host after she became a regular.On the way, she said enthusiastically that the place where she went to the countryside happened to be her hometown, and when she finished her work, she would recommend all kinds of delicious and fun things to everyone.Everyone in the car applauded and praised, and Yijiang's mood became happier. He turned to look at Luo Tian, ​​but found that Luo Tian's eyes fell on Jiang Yisen.She lowered her eyelids thoughtfully, but she didn't know what thoughts flashed through her mind. She soon regained her senses and helped other staff members check the equipment.

They lived in a temporarily rented farmyard, with several rooms connected to each other. The two coordinators had arranged it early in the morning, because Yijiang and Luo Tian knew each other well, and they shared the same room.When putting down the luggage, Luo Tian suddenly asked, "Are you familiar with the boss?"

Yi Jiang stopped and looked at her puzzled: "Why do you ask that?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Luo Tian stroked his hair, "I'm afraid he's strict, so I'll find out from you in advance."

Jiang Yisen is indeed strict. Even in such a harsh environment as deep in the mountains and old forests, he still recalibrates over and over again in order to meet the requirements.Luo Tian was suffering unspeakably, with a red envelope that was bitten by a mosquito on his leg, but still had a lively smile on his face.Yijiang was wearing long trousers, but he was bitten on his arm several times. He couldn't help stretching out his hand to scratch it more often. Jiang Yisen on the side also noticed it: "Someone of them brought ointment, and they will apply some ointment when they turn around. Now concentrate on it." Spirit, we will go to the farmhouse after filming."

Everyone booed one after another, cheered up and continued to work.After finishing all the work, the sun had already set. Luo Tian led them to find a farmhouse according to his words. He personally selected chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps. A group of people didn't understand, so they huddled together and fished in the fish pond.Jiang Yisen held a fishing net in his hand, and Yijiang kept yelling at his side: "Catch that one! That big one! Oh, it's that one!" Jiang Yisen couldn't help looking back at her, she looked like a lively little girl, her hair was tied into a Flower buds, flushed cheeks, clean and clear eyes.He grasped the fishing net tightly in his hand, fixed his eyes on the fish Yi Jiang pointed at, seized the opportunity, and the fish fell into the net easily.

The dinner was delicious and hot, and everyone went back for a walk with full stomachs. The night was getting thicker and thicker, and there were few street lights on the country roads. It took a long time to have one. Yi Jiang walked slowly with a flashlight in his hand. Suddenly, he saw something and was pleasantly surprised. He shouted loudly: "Fireflies! Come on, turn off the flashlight, there are fireflies!"

Everyone turned off their flashlights, only to see a group of faint green stars swimming in the field in the blue mist-like night.Yi Jiang held her breath, these scenes that she only saw on TV appeared in front of her eyes at this moment, she suddenly felt moved, the vastness of nature, the beauty of life, all these seemed to wash away the filth in her heart.Everything is growing, everything goes with the flow, she doesn't have to be entangled in the emotions of people, she just needs to listen to the voice of her heart.

Back in the small courtyard, she didn't go back to the house immediately, but leaned on the deck chair in the yard and looked at the sky quietly.At this moment, what are the parents who are separated in two places doing?Will you think of each other?Will you regret your decision to divorce?And Jiangling, who left the city and went to the provincial station, is it a night battle with lights?Will you miss your old colleagues?And Xun Yijiang lying in a small courtyard in the countryside, are you ready to grow up alone?
There was a sudden movement behind her, she got up and turned her head, Jiang Yisen came over with a pot of tea: "Still sleeping?"

She lay back down relaxed: "The air here is good, and you can see the stars. I want to lie down for a while."

Jiang Yisen poured a cup of tea, then reached out and handed it to her: "Do you have any thoughts?"

"Well, yes." She took a sip of tea and smiled, "Some things are in the past and let it go, and some people let it go. Anyway, the earth is still spinning, look forward and move forward."

"Awareness is very high, reflection is very deep." He brought the teacup to his lips with a smile, lowered his head and blew on the tea leaves, raised his eyes in an instant, blinked his eyelashes, and said with a chuckle: "Xun Yijiang, you didn't realize that I was chasing you ?"

Yi Jiang was stunned suddenly, as if thousands of stars had fallen into his eyes, shining brightly and shining brightly.Her heart was also beating fast, the person in front of her kept looking at her deeply, with a light smile on her lips, but her eyes were as magnificent as the sea, she heard herself whispering: "I don't know... ..."

Jiang Yisen gently covered the teacup, and shook his head mockingly: "Isn't it obvious enough?"

Yi Jiang didn't dare to move, and sat stiffly on the recliner, in a trance, not sure what he heard.Suddenly Jiang Yisen leaned over, stretched out his hand to rub her hair, and spoke again, with a gentle smile in his tone: "Then I will be more obvious from now on."

The stars are shining brightly, and the night is so charming.Yi Jiang couldn't say a single word, even if it was a follow-up question, she stared blankly at Jiang Yisen packing up the teapot and cups, and when she got up to leave, suddenly there was a sound of something breaking behind her.She came back to her senses suddenly, turned her head to look, and a figure flashed past the door.

Jiang Yisen looked down at her: "It seems that someone has heard my confession, so I can't pretend that nothing happened."

Yi Jiang looked up and saw that the room belonged to her and Luo Tian.

[05]

Yi Jiang suffered from insomnia all night.

When she started work the next day, she had two huge dark circles under her eyes. One of the film crew's older brothers deliberately pretended to be terrified and kept making fun of her. Jiang Yisen, who was behind the monitor, raised the corners of his mouth calmly and slowly.

After completing all the shooting tasks, it was already afternoon.After a simple meal, the group boarded the bus back to Lijiang.All the people were sleepy and tired, and almost collapsed. Compared with the time when they came, the way back was very quiet.The car arrived downstairs at Lijiang TV Station, it was already dark, everyone was discussing to find a place to have dinner, Jiang Yisen called Yijiang's name: "Xiao Xun, you go with me to upload the material first, we have to upload the film tonight Cut it out and let them bring us dinner."

Luo Tian raised his hand: "Boss, let me go with you."

"You go to eat." Jiang Yisen said lightly, "Bring me and Xiao Xun a copy after eating, thank you." After that, he picked up the equipment and strode forward. Yijiang hurriedly trotted to keep up. It was very quiet, only her and Jiang Yisen's footsteps sounded one after the other.

In fact, it was okay when she was working during the day. She was so focused on her work that she couldn't remember Jiang Yisen's confession to her. Now they were left alone, and the atmosphere became weird.She really couldn't understand how Jiang Yisen would like her, didn't he always dislike her?He thought that she was using her brain in the wrong place, that her manuscript was poorly done, and that she was crying too much. How could such a Jiang Yisen like such a Xun Yijiang?Also, he said he was chasing himself, when?How did you catch up?She can't feel it at all!Is she too dull?Or was everything last night just a dream?

"Xun Yijiang."

With a cold sound, Xun Yijiang immediately pricked up his ears.Looking up cautiously at Jiang Yisen, he was staring at himself with his head up: "You have been listening to this period for 2 minutes, have you finished?"

Yi Jiang frantically pressed the pause button, and explained embarrassingly: "I've finished listening..."

"After listening, go to the office and write the manuscript first, and leave it to me here." Jiang Yisen sat down, pulled out the material and got busy.Yi Jiang stared at his side face, with mixed feelings in his heart, why did it end after he confessed?Still pretending to be so nonchalant, but leaving her here feeling uneasy, is too unfair, too arrogant.She angrily kicked off the chair, grabbed the contemporaneous notebook that she had simply recorded, patted her ass and left.

There was no one in the office on the fifteenth floor. She turned on the light and sat in her own seat by the window.She opened the file, but couldn't get into it, then she took out her phone, searched through the contacts, and finally stopped at Jiang Ling's name.She froze for a few seconds, then quickly scrolled down and found "Papa Xun".

It took a long time for Xun Zesheng to answer the phone, his voice sounded a bit tired: "Call Dad so late?"

"Yeah." She leaned back in the chair, "Dad, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, I want to talk to our family Yijiang for a while."

Hearing the familiar laughter, Yi Jiang couldn't help but feel a little hot in her eyes. She rolled her eyes and tried to laugh easily: "Dad, tell me how you and Mom met? Are you free love? It can't be a matchmaker. Let's talk."

The other party was silent for a few seconds, and soon Xun Zesheng said: "Your mother was very beautiful when she was young, but at that time I was still an ignorant fool who didn't understand these things. When I met again later, I suddenly came to my senses. She is so beautiful, no wonder she was called the school belle at that time. Not only is she beautiful, she is also gentle. She often greets your father and takes good care of you. At that time, you were too young and I couldn’t take care of you alone. It’s rare that she didn’t hesitate and could It is my luck to marry her."

There was a smile on Yijiang's lips all the time. She could even think of Xun Zesheng at that time. Although his career was in full swing, when he returned home, he had to face a little doll. It was ridiculous to think of his at a loss.Fortunately, there is Zeng Qian, yes, fortunately, there is her. Dad will not regret this marriage that has lasted for nearly 20 years.

"Then dad..." Her voice softened, "Tell me about her, tell me about the mother who gave birth to me."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, just when Yijiang suddenly regretted mentioning Jiao Jie, Xun Zesheng chuckled: "She is also very beautiful."

Yijiang's nose turned sour, but he also smiled: "Father, you are very lucky."

"Yeah, Dad is very satisfied, and now you are a little beauty, when will you have a meal with Dad?"

The topic about Jiao Jie was passed by him like this, and Yi Jiang followed him sensiblely: "Why don't we have dinner together tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, covered her eyes and lay down on the table.She didn't know how long she had been sobbing, her head was buzzing, and her consciousness was getting more and more confused. She felt sleepy like a beast attacking her, and she fell asleep with her arms on her head without wiping off her tears.

When Jiang Yisen returned to the office, this was the first thing he saw. Behind the computer screen lay a small yurt, with the flower buds standing on the back of his head, rising and falling with his breath.He walked over with light steps and called her in a low voice: "Xiao Xun? You'll catch a cold if you sleep like this."

Yi Jiang felt as if he had fallen into the fog, a voice came from afar, and he couldn't see who it was, one after another.Then, with a lightness of her body, she seemed to be floating up, floating in the air, coming and going freely.She chuckled, then sighed deeply with contentment.

Jiang Yisen looked down at Xun Yijiang, who was laughing suddenly in his arms, and couldn't help frowning, but slowly relaxed them.It turned out that during this period of time, only in her dreams would she laugh unrestrainedly.He withdrew his gaze, hugged her and walked towards his office room, where there was a small foldable bed, where he would take a nap for a while when he usually worked overtime late.He gently put Yi Jiang on it, then turned around and took out a thin blanket from the cabinet. As soon as he covered it, Yi Jiang subconsciously wrapped it into a ball.

Returning to the desk and turning on the computer, he tried to concentrate on his work, but the slight ups and downs of breathing behind him prevented him from concentrating at all.He took out a cigarette, got up and walked out of the office, opened the window, and lit it.The wind was a bit strong, and the smoke burned quickly. He saw the scarlet on his fingertips, and his heart was full of fire.Is he being too abrupt?All day long, Yi Jiang avoided his gaze and tried to avoid being alone with him, but now he just left her behind, did he frighten her?

He just didn't want to see her cry, he wanted to see her laughing, showing her teeth and claws, being well protected and therefore unscrupulous.

He wants to protect her.

[06]

When he woke up, Yi Jiang was stunned for countless seconds.As usual, she was woken up by the alarm clock, turned it off, hid in the bed and squinted for another 5 minutes, stretched and sat up, and then...

She was so frightened, she saw Jiang Yisen, who was sitting opposite and staring at her!
"Boss Jiang..." She stumbled and said, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yisen stood up and quickly walked in front of her: "Get up and pack up before work."

Only then did Yijiang clear her mind. This is Jiang Yisen's office, and she slept here all night.In addition to the thin blanket, he also wore his coat. In order to prevent her from being cold, he also brought over all the shawls and blankets that everyone left on the office chair, and he was only wearing a black shirt.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Yi Jiang got out of bed in a hurry to help pack things.

"It's useless to wake you up, the door is locked."

"The door is locked?" Yi Jiang turned around and glanced at the door in disbelief, "Is that door locked? Did the cleaning lady lock it?" She turned and ran over, pulled, and it was locked from the outside , "Auntie is so careless, she didn't even ask if anyone is there." She walked back resentfully, and Jiang Yisen glanced at her without further explanation.

The first one to arrive at the office was Chen Guoran. Yijiang was about to blurt out all kinds of explanations, but when faced with her calm expression, he had no chance to say anything.Jiang Yisen came out from the room, and while handing over the materials to Chen Guoren, he said flatly, "Thanks for your hard work."

Chen Guoren put away the materials, turned to look at Xun Yijiang: "Reporter Xun, I brought you a toothbrush towel, do you want to wash it now? My colleagues will be here soon."

She grabbed her things and ran to the bathroom, staring at the mirror, puzzled.It seems that Chen really was notified by Jiang Yisen. Since she has the key, why doesn't Jiang Yisen let her come at night?This saves you from having to lock it all night in the office.After washing, she walked back with a basin in her hand, and saw Hao Wenrou when she arrived at the door. She held up her mobile phone, and she didn't know who she was looking at, but her expression was quite strange.Looking around, it turned out that he was talking to Jiang Yisen.

"Sister Wenrou, what are you doing winking?" She hid the washbasin behind her.

Hao Wenrou suddenly turned around, and seeing her, her expression became even more colorful: "Reporter Xiao Xun." She sighed, deliberately holding her appetite, "As a reporter, why don't you pay attention to current affairs. Fortunately, I Get used to getting up early, otherwise you may miss first-hand news."

As she said that, she brought her mobile phone over. Before Yijiang could see anything, Jiang Yisen cleared his throat: "I'm not here to gossip at work, Hao Wenrou, come to my office."

Yi Jiang looked up and glanced at her in confusion, Hao Wenrou shrugged and put the phone back.Yijiang once again cast her seeking gaze at Chen Guoran, she just helped the frame of the glasses, and then returned to her seat to deal with the work.Until the colleagues were all in place one by one, Zheng Cheng was the first to discover what was going on: "What's going on? Why did the group of "Li Jiang Evening Broadcast" disband? Who is the owner of the group? Why did it disband?"

Hao Wenrou reminded in a low voice: "The group leader is the boss."

"What does the boss disband the group?"

"Hush—" Hao Wenrou cut his neck, "Be careful of being silenced."

The gathering discussion turned into a private whisper, Yijiang wanted to join in the fun, but Hao Wenrou gave her a disgusted look, and then drove her aside.She looked at Jiang Yisen's office from a distance, did something happen to him?Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Luo Tian coming out of the room, his face was not very good, and his expression was also very depressed.Yi Jiang got up and walked over: "Boss criticized you? I read yesterday's material. You hosted it very well."

Luo Tian raised his eyelids and only glanced at her, but suddenly let out a laugh, then shook his head and walked back to his desk.Yi Jiang didn't understand, but his cell phone rang. It was Xun Zesheng calling, saying that the lunch appointment might have to be rescheduled.She hung up the phone and was about to go to her seat when Jiang Yisen walked out of the office and stopped her: "Director Ou said there is a topic to choose, Xiao Xun, go and run."

"What question?" Not a word of last night's topic draft has been moved yet.

"For Hengyi Real Estate, Director Ou personally told you to run away."

"no problem."

As soon as the words fell, Yijiang noticed something unusual. She raised her head and found that her colleagues who were still whispering in private were all looking at her and Jiang Yisen with quite... colorful expressions.Yijiang collected himself, turned around and walked into Jiang Yisen's office.

Jiang Yisen quickly followed, closed the door, and waited quietly for her with his head down.

"Is there something I'm hiding from me?" Yi Jiang raised his chin towards the outside, "They all looked at me with the expression of looking at a monster."

Jiang Yisen leaned against the door, and put his hands in his trouser pockets with ease: "It's okay, it's just a little trouble."

"What's the trouble?" Yi Jiang suddenly thought of something, "Why did the column group disband? Did you meet a hacker?"

Jiang Yisen couldn't help laughing, he straightened up and walked towards her, reaching out to rub her hair, Yijiang took precautions in advance, stepped back quickly, and looked at him vigilantly: "If you have something to say, don't move your hands or feet."

Jiang Yisen grabbed her with his long arms and pulled her in front of him, then stretched out his hands and rumpled her hair. He lowered his head and was about to speak when he suddenly saw that her face was flushed, and even the skin behind her ears was pink.His heart was full of tenderness, but he still let go of his hand and let the little guy in his arms go freely: "Don't worry, there are only some pictures that shouldn't appear in the group, and I can't delete them, so I disbanded the group."

Yijiang pretended to be calm, and while arranging his hair unhappily, he asked in a muffled voice, "What picture is so tense?" Could it be a disharmonious picture?

Jiang Yisen saw through her mind at a glance: "Anyway, it's a picture that you can't see, my dear, go to the topic selection of Hengyi Real Estate."

[07]

Along the way, Yijiang was thinking about what kind of shady picture it was, and he was so curious that he had to ask the pony next to him for help: "Did you see the picture in the group? I didn't go online last night, so I missed the good show what!"

Xiao Ma suppressed a smile, his face was almost purple: "Actually, I didn't see it either, I just heard what Sister Wenrou said."

"What picture? Could it really be those...disharmonious pictures?"

Xiao Ma thought for a while, then nodded: "Well, it's almost the same, you see that the effect is not good."

Come on, she's 23 years old, what doesn't she understand?Miss Gentle, look at her!Everyone underestimated her!She turned her head to look out of the window sullenly, and Joy City, a real estate project of Hengyi Real Estate, had arrived.

This time, it is a charity event organized by Hengyi Real Estate to promote the real estate. Since they are now the advertisers of the column, Ou Chaoguang allowed this topic to be selected. Besides, the charity event also has news points, as long as the advertisement is not too obvious That's it.Yijiang is already familiar with it, but seeing Li Mingen makes her feel a little unhappy.

She had to go to interview him: "Mr. Li, excuse me. I wonder if you have time for an interview?"

Li Mingen was talking to someone else, and when he heard this, he straightened his clothes, looked down at her, and smiled maliciously: "Of course, I didn't expect that it was reporter Xun who came to interview. Is this fate?"

Xun Yijiang's smile froze, she shook the microphone, ignored his words, and went straight to the interview.After the interview, Li Mingen asked her to stay, but Yijiang subconsciously shied away: "We have to go back to finish the draft, it's really inconvenient to stay, shall we meet again next time?"

"You're so excited, you know I want to treat you to dinner?" Li Mingen stepped forward, his face darkened, and his voice lowered, "I heard about Uncle Xun, and I was worried about you before, afraid of you..." Said Then, he stopped suddenly, and Yijiang subconsciously wanted to stay away from him, but in the next second, she suddenly felt a heat in her ears, and her breath brushed against her skin, she trembled all over, and hurriedly fled a few meters away.Li Mingen stretched out his hand and touched his lips, then raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "It seems that I should feel relieved now. By the way, how is Uncle Xun's health recently? I heard that Tongda's stock price has been falling, so he must be very busy." ?”

"You don't have to worry about it!" Yi Jiang frowned, pulled Xiao Ma back and turned around to leave.

Xiao Ma held the machine and asked curiously: "Is he chasing you?"

"Don't disgust me."

"Then he kissed your... ear?"

Yi Jiang glared at him fiercely: "Don't remind me! He is crazy!"

Xiao Ma looked at her in amazement and swears, and after a while he smiled cheerfully: "That is, if he dares to chase you, he will definitely die."

Yi Jiang nodded, yes, he dared to act recklessly and talk nonsense, she must make him go around endlessly!But Tongda's stock was really affected?That's why Dad changed the date temporarily and couldn't have lunch with her?She immediately took out her mobile phone and called, but no one answered.

Back in the office, she was called in again by Jiang Yisen: "Hengyi Real Estate's activities." He paused, looked up to consider her expression, "Did you run smoothly?"

"No problem." She asked puzzled.

He nodded thoughtfully: "Today is the last time. In the future, don't follow the news about Hengyi. Leave it to others." Tapping his fingers on the table, he finally found an excuse. "In the past two days, you and I will complete the feature film."

"Okay!" She didn't ask why, but Jiang Yisen's decision was exactly what she wanted, and she really didn't want to see Li Mingen.

She dated Sun Huohuo after get off work, and couldn't help complaining about Li Mingen over and over again, but Sun Huohuo couldn't grasp the point at all: "Is he handsome?"

"No matter how handsome he is, he's still a scum, okay?" Yi Jiang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Didn't you see him? In the 'Northern Lights' bar, he was drunk. By the way, you were drunk too drunk."

Sun Huohuo became excited: "So did I miss something?"

Yijiang reached out and knocked her on the head, and Sun Huohuo wailed all over the place.This time, the two decided to eat Japanese cuisine, because Sun Huohuo led the team back from Japan. It is said that the salmon there is very authentic, and she was reluctant to leave when she returned to China.And since Xun Zesheng moved away, Zeng Qian went back to her mother's house, and the housekeeping aunt also resigned and returned to her hometown. Yijiang's food has always been a big problem.Fortunately, Sun Huohuo returned to China, otherwise she would have to eat instant noodles again.

During this period, Yijiang has been debating whether to tell Sun Huohuo about Jiang Yisen's confession, but Jiang Yisen just let go after confessing, and she is not sure about the authenticity of his words.Wouldn't she be ashamed if he just mentioned it casually?Forget it, let's talk about it later, maybe it will be nothing in the end.

While eating, Sun Huohuo suddenly thought of something: "Has Yang Xixi contacted you recently?"

Yang Xixi is a classmate of Yijiang Elementary School and Junior High School. When she was in high school, she immigrated to Canada, and she lost a lot of contact.It is not always true that they are good friends, but the parents have business contacts, so the two little girls often stay together.After getting to know Sun Huohuo, Yijiang pulled her into his group of friends without hesitation. Yang Xixi originally didn't want to see Sun Huohuo, a pure grassroots, so the two had a heated quarrel. After that, Yang Xixi acquiesced to Sun Huohuo's existence .

"She sent an email to everyone in the group, and the group posted a message that she will return to China next month to get engaged." As he spoke, Sun Huohuo quickly glanced at Yi Jiang, "Hey, how many red envelopes are you going to pack? I If I don't have money, I won't go!"

"I care about you, love to go or not." Yi Jiang pulled out his phone, "I'll ask my dad if he can go."

However, when the call was made, Xun Zesheng's cell phone was turned off.
