The day Gu Yi and Song Zhenzhen broke off their engagement, I was coordinating Gu Yi's schedule. I don't know why he had a sudden idea to spare five days to go to Bordeaux for vacation.
This is really embarrassing for me, because he has a dense schedule in those days that cannot be pushed aside, such as board meetings, appointments with Citibank president to play golf, various technical meetings, and his mother, who is sixty-five years old. birthdays, etc.
I was so worried about his schedule and couldn't do anything about it. Song Zhenzhen's phone call caught me off guard.
She scolded me on the phone using all the vicious words she knew, but as a young lady from a famous family, she knew the most vicious words were bitch and shameless.
During the interval between her scoldings, I looked at my watch without changing my expression. During the half hour of being scolded, she spoke fiercely, and only these two words were used over and over again.
Finally, she got tired of scolding, took a sip of water, and then continued to question me aggressively: "I really misjudged you, Ren Man. I was really pecked in the eye by an eagle."
She paused and continued to ask: "I believe you so much, and you actually encouraged Gu Yi to break off our engagement and just have fun, but do you know how shameful I would be if word of the breakup of our engagement spread?"
I was stunned, and subconsciously said quickly Explanation: "It's not me."
Song Zhenzhen on the other side was also stunned, as if she was stuck, and asked: "It's not you?"
Then she changed the subject, and I could hear a murderous voice through the phone. The momentum, but the target was changed, she said: "Which bitch is that? She is secretly hiding under our noses. I have to tear her apart. I don't know that destroying other people's families will be punished by God."
is muttering over there Du hung up the phone. She was probably going to hire a private investigator. I was the only one holding the phone in a daze.
Song Zhenzhen is Gu Yi's fiancée. They are childhood sweethearts and well matched. However, marriages between aristocratic families like theirs generally have no loyalty at all. They are just for profit. They are the closest community of interests, not a husband and wife.
The first time I saw Song Zhenzhen was when she and Gu Yi went to a restaurant to eat after working overtime. I met Song Zhenzhen in the middle of the meal. She was holding the hand of a popular actor who was recently popular and came over to say hello. I am Gu Yi's senior assistant. Naturally, she is familiar with all the interpersonal relationships around him and knows that she is his fiancée.
The scene was a bit embarrassing at that time. Later, when we got to know each other, Song Zhenzhen laughed at me and said, "Ren Man, I knew you were a good boy from the first time I saw you. When you looked at me, the color on your face flushed. My wife disappeared completely, and she looked so pitiful that I felt pity for her. "
Actually, it was just because she was frightened, because Song Zhenzhen seemed to regard me as Gu Yi's lover at the time, and she did not shy away from pulling him. The traffic actor shared the table with us. On the table, he was not shy about flirting with the traffic boy, while discussing with Gu Yi when to go back to his old house to visit his parents.
Because their wedding date has been set, but there are still many trivial details that need to be carefully considered.
Gu Yi sat there eating very calmly and as if no one else was watching, occasionally talking to each other, as if he didn't know how absurd this scene looked.
Later on, Song Zhenzhen always thought that I was Gu Yi’s lover. Her exact words were: “The people around me are nice, knowledgeable, knowledgeable about general interests, and will not cause trouble to me and Gu Yi.” She also warned me with a smile. , "Ren Man, you should know the bottom line of people like us? You know what to do and what not to do, right?"
I know, it's OK to have fun, you can ask for money, you can ask for people and hearts, but you need a name If it is divided, it would be a violation of the bottom line.
But this has nothing to do with me. Later, I mentioned this matter to Gu Yi and asked him tactfully if he needed an explanation. He looked at the document intently and just said no in an understatement.

Gu Yi is the successor to Gu Jianuo’s big business. I, his direct assistant, was also overtly and covertly attracted by the board of directors and his business rivals when I first joined the company, but it didn’t succeed, so there were secret rumors about the two of us. The message spread overwhelmingly on all floors of the company.
Because only this scandal can explain why I can remain unmoved in the face of huge temptations to buy.
But in fact, we just graduated from the same university and the same major. No one may believe it. We still studied software engineering , which is not the same as the profession we are currently engaged in.
When Gu Yi first entered the school, he was very out of place. He never participated in any team building activities and was always taciturn and a loner. However, these incompatible qualities could not hide his unique temperament.
First, because he is really smart enough, and he has a straight and handsome face, and second, because he is mysterious enough.
Before I met Gu Yi, I overheard his gossip in the library. Hua , an student from the art department, was chatting with her friend. Her friend asked her in confusion: "Fu'er, what the hell are you doing?" Why did you fall in love with that Gu Yi? Yes, he is indeed good-looking and smart, but look at the clothes he tossed and turned and their color has faded. Why do you think you are so enthusiastic about his cold face? You don’t really fall in love with him, do you?”
Xie Hua’s voice was as attractive as her appearance, with a hint of coquettishness: “What do you know? Did you see the logo on the sleeve of his clothes? The suit was custom-made from the old store Sanile Row. My father had previously made a suit custom-made at a high price and gave it away. It hurt him for more than half a year. His financial background must not be simple. Even a T-shirt for daily wear costs such a high price. I must We need to take him down."
The voices of the two people were getting farther and farther away. I looked at Gu Yi awkwardly behind the bookshelf, and my eyes subconsciously moved to the corners of his sleeves, curious about what kind of symbol it was. He was pretty cool. He calmly took a professional explanation book under my gaze and waited until the two people had gone far before going out.
But later he stopped wearing his few T-shirts that had faded in the wash. He spent 100 yuan on three T-shirts in the student street, changing them in rotation, and he was lost in the crowd of boys in the same style on campus.
When we met again, we accidentally bumped into him and was beaten up. A young man in his early twenties has not yet matured mentally. The way to deal with his love rival is to show off his strength.
The suitor of the department beauty was waiting with a few people on the way back to the dormitory from self-study the next night. Nine to one was really ungraceful. There was no unexpected situation in idol dramas where the male protagonist fights back. Gu Yi did not resist and curled up to protect him. It occupied several fatal places on the body, and those few people kicked it a few times and left after finding it boring.
When I was passing by with my book in my arms, I happened to see him holding his belly and standing up from the ground. His face was pale, so I stopped and asked more: "Do you need help?"
At that time, I was just asking casually, I didn't expect that he would pay attention to me. I didn't expect that after he raised his head and glanced at me, he stretched out a hand towards me and said, "Thank you."
I was stunned, and then I helped him to the school infirmary.
Later, after I became Gu Yi’s assistant, I watched him practice boxing. He was really angry with the people on the board of directors that day, but he has always been good at hiding his emotions. No matter how angry he was, he always had a calm smile. Only I know him. Very angry.
After get off work, I went to find him to sign the document. He was practicing boxing in the basement. The huge sandbag broke after a few punches, and the sand fell like a large hourglass. I couldn't help but call him: " Gu Yi."
His eyes looked over with a coldness that was too late to restrain. They were as sharp as a knife. When he took the document and signed it, his lips were pursed tightly, and the strength penetrated the back of the paper. Then I looked at the sandbag with leakage, and I didn't know why I thought of it. When he was beaten up in college, he couldn't help but smile.
When he handed me the document, he looked at the smile on my lips and raised his eyebrows inexplicably, with a questioning expression.
I was like. Ask him: "Do you remember when you were beaten up in college? His brows relaxed, and he obviously remembered. His anger subsided little by little, and he smiled slightly and said: "I will probably be pestered and troubled after I fight back. I just want to be quiet in college." "
He was indeed very low-key throughout college. The time when his presence was highest was at the end of each semester. Everyone wanted to team up with him to do group assignments, because he was the only one who could pass the rigorous "Circuit and Analog Electronic Technology" exam. I got high marks from Professor Tou.
Probably because he wanted to thank me for supporting him, he invited me to form a team for every final group assignment.
Later, when we got to know each other better, he said it was because I was less talkative and less curious. , and quiet, and the most important thing is to respond quickly and know how to cooperate with him.
My mother once said that I am dull, which is not a sign of intelligence in the eyes of others, but I am really not interested in other people's private affairs. I like to work with my nose and nose in mind, and Gu Yi likes my stability.
We are like old friends who have a tacit understanding. It cannot be said that we have a warm relationship, but there is an indescribable tacit understanding.
I am about to graduate from my senior year. When we were interning in a large factory together, we would go back to the dormitory together after get off work. Sometimes we would leave early and we would sit together by the fountain in the open square eating ice cream, watching the hurried passers-by, and sometimes we would I went to grill skewers with great interest, and occasionally chatted about what I did during my internship today, gossip about the office, and discussed my graduation thesis.
He never talked about things at home, and I never asked.
Until. His father passed away.
It was a normal day at the end of the internship. When Gu Yi and I were in the elevator, we were still discussing what flavor of ice cream we would buy later. When we arrived at the door of the company, we saw a long, dark car parked outside. The car was just like in the TV series. There were two bodyguards in black suits and leather shoes standing next to the car.
A man who looked like a butler stood at the car door, opened the door, and said to Gu Yi: "Your vacation. It's over. The head of the house is dying. Madam asked me to take you back. "
I turned my head to look at Gu Yi's expression in surprise. The smile on his lips faded little by little, his face was light, and he nodded slightly and got into the car.
I can't tell what my mood was at that time. It seemed like he didn't react. , looking at this scene in a daze. He got into the car, closed the door and drove for a while before suddenly stopping.
Gu Yi opened the door and looked at me, stretching out a hand towards me from a distance, like him. After he was beaten, I asked him if he wanted my help. His dark eyes looked at me steadily, with a trace of unnoticeable hesitation under his calm indifference. He asked me: "Ren Man, can you come and accompany me?" "
I don't know what I was thinking at the time. Maybe I didn't think about anything at all. I walked over to the car without hesitation and accompanied him to the hospital.

I went to see Gu Yi and told him tactfully that Song Zhenzhen was very angry on the phone. He didn't even raise his head, just nodded slightly to show that he understood.
I stood still. After a long time, he looked up from the file and asked me, "What else is there?" thing? "
I quietly, pretending to smile as if nothing had happened, asked: "Who is the person who asked you to refuse marriage? ”
He looked at me quietly without saying a word, we just looked at each other.
It’s strange. I used to be his friend who talked about everything, and he was also his comrade-in-arms in the mall for so long. Even though their family marriage is very bad and they can play their own way by default, he seems to be obsessed with women. Little interest.
As a man, sometimes I would go out with him to discuss things, and the host would carefully arrange everything. Once there was even a popular female star, but he declined. Later, there were also partners who took the wrong approach. I invited the male model over and I laughed at him for a whole week.
But I don’t know who can make him give up the marriage and the mission he must take on.
I don’t know anything about such an important thing.
This was probably the first time I got to the bottom of this. He sighed under my gaze, and then said: "It's Tan Rui." His eyes were calm, as if he was asking me or talking to himself, asking me: "I just want to try the love of ordinary people, Ren Man, do you think I can take a different path?"
I smiled slightly, put my trembling hands behind my back, and sincerely blessed him like his best friend. Him, I said: "You will be happy, Gu Yi."
He seemed to think of Tan Rui, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and said, "She is a very special person, isn't she?"
I smiled and nodded in praise. He has such a good eye.
Gu Yi and I met Tan Rui for the first time at a business banquet. I remember her, not that she was stunning enough, just because of her temperament, and she was the only one wearing a cheongsam among the grand formal dresses on the floor. Cheongsam is something that depends on your temperament. If your temperament is not up to par, you will feel a bit dusty, but when she wears it, it is as fresh and refined as a orchid with a trembling branch.
What's even more extraordinary is her drinking ability. Her boss asked Gu Yi for help. During the dinner, he changed glasses and drank glass after glass of wine. She didn't even blush at all. This was in great contrast with her appearance. It was the first time I saw Gu Yi showing interest to a woman. He held up his wine glass, smiled at Tan Rui, and asked her, "Miss Tan, does she have a good drinking capacity?"
She smiled softly, and her gesture of pouring the wine was very elegant. She speaks softly and easily attracts people's favor. She talks freely about wine. She was born in a small town that produces wine. She was raised by her family who dipped their chopsticks in white wine when she was young. She is very fond of wine. There are countless brews and varieties.
is elegant and decent, so I am very impressed.
I just don’t know how they got in touch after that dinner.
I don’t know since when, Gu Yi seems to no longer need me. In other words, my company is not that important anymore. I accompanied him through the absurd period when his father passed away. I accompanied him to step up from the grassroots level of the company. I accompanied him to deal with the cunning and cunning people on the board of directors. The fox...
But people are always growing. Nearly ten years have passed, and we are not the same as before.
He used to hate the Gu family and the intrigues in the shopping mall, but he adapted well. As the new head of the Gu family, he had a talent in his heart for playing with capital in the palm of his hand, and he used both kindness and power to clean up the company. He had to be submissive, but no matter what, I was probably the only one who had seen his slight fragility and hesitation.
When I was reviewing home with him, his father was seriously ill and passed away within a week. During that time, I stayed with him in the hospital.
I only saw his mother when his father passed away. At the door of the ward, his mother was a beauty whose age could not be discerned. The huge ring on her finger was so dazzling that it hurt the eyes. She stood beside the hospital bed and took a quick look. He found her husband's body on the hospital bed, and then ordered the funeral that had been prepared to go according to the procedures.
She seemed to be in a hurry because she was rushing to have afternoon tea with her friends. She only saw me and Gu Yi when she was going out. She smiled, pinched my face, and teased Gu Yi: "This is the one you brought back from school. "Little girlfriend?"
Gu Yi didn't say anything, so he didn't explain. Later, at his father's funeral, I stood with him on the second floor. The music in the hall was melodious and his mother was wearing a long black dress. Dancing unabashedly with a tall, handsome man in the middle of the hall - it didn't look like it was a funeral.
Nowhere is sad, even Gu Yi's expression is light.
I still remember his expression. He pointed at the people below and laughed at himself: "Ren Man, have you seen it? This is my future life, marry someone I don't like, and give birth to an heir who is guaranteed to be my child. Living a peaceful married life, when I die, maybe my wife will dance gracefully with others like this at my funeral. "
" This life is really boring. "
" Sometimes. I will be very curious about those hot and strong emotions, the love that is risking one's life for one person, Ren Man, do you think I can meet it in this life?"
His expression was too lonely, and the sarcasm of self-loathing was too obvious, and I was confused. She held his hand, then leaned over to half-hug him, swallowed the words "I will always be with you", and then comforted him as a friend: "You will be happy, Gu Yi."
His body stiffened and he paused. After a pause, he raised his hands and put them around my waist.
Later I recalled that in this short period of time, this moment turned out to be the most intimate time between me and Gu Yi.

Before Gu Yi flew to Bordeaux, I repeatedly confirmed with him whether he needed me to accompany him. I flew with him to many cities and countries. Due to business needs, he had many things to pay attention to in his diet. He was allergic to many foods. And he himself doesn’t pay much attention to these things, so I have to take care of everything secretly every time.
Until I received his ticket booking information, I started to prepare his air ticket and hotel. There were two air tickets, the other one was for Tangrui, and Bordeaux is a famous wine holy land.
It turned out to be a smile for Bo Jiaren. No wonder he insisted on pushing back so many schedules. This was the first time he had been working for so long.
I can only smile and quietly wish him a happy journey.
Song Zhenzhen called me after he left. After answering the phone, she went straight to the topic and asked: "Ren Man, I found it, do you know Tan Rui?"
She asked me how Gu Yi and Tan Rui met. , I blocked them all back without missing a beat, and she probably didn’t find it interesting either. Her tone on the last phone call was rare and decadent: "Gu Yi is really determined to break off the engagement this time. My father is already angry to death. I will be laughed to death by my little sister.”
But she quickly cheered up and asked me, “Do you know the ** group? I made an appointment with them to sing K. Do you know that they are the main dancers? You have eight pack abs, do you want to come and play with me?"
I declined politely. She was still very disappointed after being rejected, and said with some sympathy: "Hey, aren't you sad? Do you like him? To be honest, I had thought that if Gu Yi regretted not wanting to get married one day, it would be because of you. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway and said, "Ren Man, you are more pitiful than me."
I was heartbroken. shock.
I don’t know how she could tell that I liked Gu Yi. I could only explain calmly: "Gu Yi and I are just friends."
She smiled disapprovingly and asked me: "Okay, stop pretending, you She thought I was that stupid person from Gu Yi. "
I didn't say anything. She probably didn't think it was interesting either, so she hung up the phone quickly.
Song Zhenzhen did not wrong me. I stayed with Gu Yi for so many years in the name of friendship just because I liked him.
I can’t tell when it started. Maybe it was during my senior year of internship. He was sitting next to the fountain pool, and the light reflected in his lonely eyes. In the bustling city with people coming and going, he was the only one who looked like an out-of-place foreigner. Or maybe it was at the funeral when his father passed away. He looked indifferent and looked at the hustle and bustle of the hall on the first floor with lowered eyelashes. His body was covered with lingering sadness. He asked me so desperately if he still had the possibility of happiness. ?
In the eyes of outsiders, Gu Yi is a proud man of heaven. He was born to stand in the pyramid. What he wants is always within easy reach. He is aloof and unkind, but I am the only one who has seen his most vulnerable side. He is just too lonely.
My feelings for Gu Yi are very strange. I like him and stay with him silently, but this feeling is not possessive and has nothing to do with jealousy. I just hope that he can be happy for the rest of his life.
Even if this happiness has nothing to do with me.
If Song Zhenzhen knew my thoughts, she would probably praise her as infatuated. Being too wealthy deprives them of a small part of their ability to perceive ordinary happiness. However, despite saying this, I have actually tried it.
That was three years ago. When Gu Yi took office, he had just established a foothold on the board of directors and began to carry out drastic reforms. Some of his companies that were not profitable or could not keep up with the times and were destined to be eliminated were all shut down. My company For a period of time, I followed him all over the world to inspect the economic benefits of each company.
Of course, there were accidents. When a textile factory in a remote area was shut down, an unemployed and aggrieved man rushed out of the crowd with a knife. He shouted that everyone should die together and stabbed him fiercely. I was standing at that time. Behind Gu Yi, the blade was actually pointing at me, but Gu Yi reacted quickly, pulled me behind him, then turned around to block me, and the knife pierced his abdomen.
Fortunately, the knife did not hit the spleen. From the time I sent him to the hospital until he bandaged the wound and was out of danger, I kept crying.
I rarely cry, because my emotions are too stable and restrained, and when I cry, it is silent, but the tears keep rolling down the corners of my eyes, and I didn’t even notice when he woke up. He raised his hands weakly. He came to wipe the tears on my face, his lips were pale, he looked at me tenderly, still smiling, and said: "Stop crying, the ward will flood if you cry again."
I couldn't help but smile.
Later, after he was discharged from the hospital, I went to his home to take care of him. He had a strong sense of privacy and didn’t like babysitters. He didn’t know how to clean up himself. I used to occasionally come over to help him clean up. Sometimes I would come over to help him clean up after working overtime. Come and stay, there are plenty of rooms anyway.
After he was discharged from the hospital, I went to make porridge for him. It was cooked without fire. It was cooked in a sealed sand pot buried in a red-hot charcoal pile. This ensured all the nutritional essence. Occasionally, I would still sit next to the charcoal pile. Simmer two sweet potatoes. When the porridge is cooked, you can eat it together with the porridge. It will make your body feel comfortable.
Only at this time does Gu Yi show his long-lost childlike innocence. He usually stays by the charcoal fire and stares at it, and will do anything to eat half a sweet potato.
Perhaps the atmosphere was too good that time. I raised my hand to help him wipe the black ash from the sweet potato shell that had gotten on his face at some point, and asked him: "Why did you block that knife for me?"
He looked back magnanimously. , said: "I don't know."
He still has a bit of chauvinism in his heart, maybe because I am a girl and a friend, so he feels that I need to be protected. I moved my lips, but I actually wanted to ask him What if that knife had hit a vital point? Would he have done this to whoever was behind him at that time?
But I didn’t ask. The atmosphere was too bewitching, so I couldn’t help but leaned forward, but the kiss was pushed away before it even touched the corner of his lips.
He looked pretending to be calm, looking at me from a distance with complicated eyes, but he did not embarrass me. He said to me: "Ren Man, you are too important to me, you may just be Because I'm moved, but I don't want to complicate our relationship."
" Lovers and lovers will sometimes fall out. I can't bet on this possibility. I can't lose you, so I don't want to take risks. "
I nodded to express my understanding and returned to my friend's position after so many years.
Now it seems that the identity of a friend is not safe.

It was late at night when I received a call from Tan Rui across the ocean. She was incoherent on the other end of the phone. , there was even a slight tremor, and there was an unpleasant feeling in my heart, but I still suppressed it calmly, and softly comforted her and said slowly
She choked for a while, finally calmed down, and said that she would spend the evening with Gu Yi. After returning from dinner, Gu Yi suddenly fell into coma and was short of breath. She didn't know what to do. I calmly asked them what they had eaten tonight. She recalled it intermittently until I interrupted her. Gu Yi is food. Allergic , I need to go to the hospital immediately.
I called the emergency call across the ocean, arranged everything properly, and then carefully told Tan Rui and Gu Yi’s history of drug allergies.
After doing all this, I immediately checked the flight information. The next flight was also five hours away, and I immediately booked my ticket.
By the time I arrived at the local hospital in Bordeaux, it was already early the next morning.
I rushed into the ward in a hurry. Gu Yi had already woken up and was still sleeping. His handsome face was swollen, as if telepathically. When he heard the voice, he turned his head and looked toward the door. When he saw me, he smiled. He was not surprised that I came over so quickly. There was a smile on his face. He smiled reassuringly and comforted me: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm fine. "
I breathed a sigh of relief, and then greeted Tan Rui with a smile. She sat on the other side of the hospital bed, her whole figure shrouded in shadow. She looked me up and down thoughtfully in my smile and said hello, and then implicitly He nodded gently at me.
This probing gaze was unpleasant. I turned away and suppressed the discomfort in my heart.
A week after returning from Bordeaux, Gu Yi told me that Tan Rui wanted to treat me to dinner. He said it was to thank me for my help that night in Bordeaux.
was lively and polite, with a quiet declaration of sovereignty. I didn't care. The main thing was that Gu Yi wanted us to get along well, so I went there. It was not a difficult dinner. Everyone was an adult and knew the right way to go. Except for the hotel manager who personally delivered a bottle of Guojiao . When she opened the lid, she squinted her eyes intoxicated, and so did the beauty. It’s pretty, like a lazy cat.
But I don’t know much about wine, especially liquor. When she was pouring wine for me, Gu Yi pushed my cup away with a smile and explained to me: “She drinks wine. I can't touch it, but let her go.
Tan Rui then took back her hand and looked at me with a smile: "Then I won't force Miss Ren. Wine is something that really needs to be understood by people with good character. Otherwise, such expensive wine will be drunk by people who don't understand it." A waste of natural resources. "
I lowered my head and ate the food without saying a word. It's not that I don't know how to drink. The year Gu Yi first took over the Gu family, a group of senior executives relied on their elders and ignored him. When Gu Yi first took office, he arranged a dinner for them and toasted them during the dinner. They all looked down upon him with a degree of contempt.
At that time, Gu Yi was not as powerful as he is now. He held the wine glass and looked at the executives who refused to drink. The scene was a bit embarrassing, so I took a glass of wine. After the meal was over, I squatted in the bathroom and vomited, and then I was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment because of stomach bleeding.
I still remember the way Gu Yi stood beside my hospital bed while I was in a daze. With red eyes, he swore to me that he would never let me drink a glass of wine that I didn't want to drink. Then he buried his head in my arm, and there were hot water droplets on my arm, which made my heart ache.
This has been ten years. What happened before, I accompanied him on this journey through wind and rain, is not enough to be appreciated by outsiders.
Gu Yi and I didn't speak. Tan Rui looked at Gu Yi and added, "You, you, we are in pairs, Miss Ren is so alone, you and her are such good friends. , and didn't want to help her get settled."
Gu Yi's face was indifferent, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he said: "She's not in a hurry."
Tan Rui opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she just looked at Gu Yi. The look on his face calmed down.

I don’t know how Gu Yi convinced his mother and the Song family. After all, it was not an easy task. First, it was the interests of the marriage, then the Song family’s anger, and then his mother’s strong opposition. .
I don’t know what method he used to solve it. At this time, I had withdrawn from his core decision-making team. He had a group of think tanks who graduated from various business schools. I could no longer help him except being responsible for his daily schedule and life arrangements. Any busy.
The day he came out from the Gu family's ancestral home to find me, there were bright slap marks on his face, and a piece of skin on his forehead, probably from his mother.
I didn’t say any unnecessary nonsense. I peeled a hard-boiled egg and rolled it gently on his face to reduce swelling. He lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, looking exhausted.
It was strange. The matter had obviously been resolved, but he still seemed to have countless worries on his forehead. I couldn't help but stop and asked him what was wrong.
He has been excellent in studies since I met him in college. He is a very smart person. No matter how difficult the subject is, he can never be difficult. He is always 90% sure of doing things. But this time he opened his eyes and looked at me with a lot of confidence. He was obviously at a loss, as if he had gone back to the time when his father was about to die more than ten years ago, and he was unsure about the future, full of unknowns and uncertainties.
I stopped and asked him: "Why did you choose her?"
He concentrated, paused, and then looked straight at me: "One day when I came out of the company after working overtime, she was waiting for me at the door of the company."
Gu Yi There is a special personal passage in the company, and an exclusive elevator leads directly to the parking lot. He rarely goes out from the main entrance of the company, so unless it is a coincidence, the chance of meeting him on the day he happens to leave the main entrance of the company is probably higher than buying the first one. The chance of winning with just one lottery ticket is small.
My guess was indeed correct. Gu Yi sighed: "It was raining heavily that day. When I went out, she was sitting on the reception chair in the front hall, holding a small jar of wine in her arms. She smiled when she saw me. Yes, she brewed a jar of plum wine using her own unique method. She smiled like a cunning fox and said she didn’t know why, but she just wanted me to try it. "
" For that jar of wine, she came to the company every day and waited for more than a month from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. "
" I was wondering if such a brave girl was doing this for an unknown person. In the end, he went without hesitation? I don't know, but I admit that at that moment, I was touched."
He looked at me and asked me: "Do you understand? Ren Man, there is something in her that I have always wanted. But I...I'm not sure..."
He looked over with dark eyes, looking at me steadily, as if I was the uncertain factor.
But I know this is probably not the case, because I understand him. He has always wanted to pursue a kind of hot and strong pure emotion without any hesitation. He has an inexplicable obsession with this kind of pure thing, maybe because he has seen too little. Because it is too scarce, so I really want to have it.
The environment in which he grew up has left him with a certain lack of perception of emotions, so he must be moved by emotions that are so active that he can clearly feel strong love.
Even if many people don't understand, I can understand him, so from this point on, I have always been clear that I can never impress him.
If Tan Rui is like a strong liquor that burns the throat, then I am like boiled water, lukewarm and tasteless.
I understood it from the beginning.
Fortunately, he is happy. I looked at him and comforted him softly: "After all, you have to experience it to understand. Life is short, and the long road only happens once. You have to try it before you regret it."
He He looked at me with a complicated expression, and finally smiled with relief and said, "You're right, you have to try before you regret it."
He seemed to suddenly become enlightened and stood up to leave. I didn't know why before he opened the door and left. After calling him, I asked: "Gu Yi, why did you go to the lobby that day."
He paused and then turned back: "That day you had a fever and were hospitalized. When I rushed to the hospital, I went to the wrong floor because I was thinking about something."
I smiled sadly as he left. Things are unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people, but fortunately, some of us are happy.

After Gu Yi and Tan Rui’s wedding date was decided, he and I proposed our resignation.
The resignation process was stuck with him for more than half a month, and he kept saying nothing. It was not until I urged him repeatedly that he looked at me and asked, "Why do you want to resign? Is it because I'm married?"
Before their wedding date was set, Tan Rui came to me one night and begged me to leave sincerely, without being pushy but without doubt, she said: "We are all women, you must be considerate of me, right? Ren Man?"
"You have been here all along. Gu Yi, I know you don't have much, but as the saying goes, don't let others snore and sleep on the bed. If someone keeps coveting your husband, you will feel uncomfortable, right? "
" Gu Yi, right? I'm very good, as good as you can imagine, almost obedient, but every time I mention you - I'm sorry, I had troubles with him several times and asked him to transfer you, but he never agreed. We had a few quarrels.”
The beauty was so moved that she was about to cry. At the end of her speech, she held my hand and almost begged me, “You will leave on your own, right? Don’t you want him to be happy?” ? As long as you are here, you will be a thorn in our marriage. If I am not happy, he will not be happy either."
I pulled out my hand with difficulty and looked at her: "I promise you."
She smiled with tears in her eyes. .
Of course, I couldn't talk to Gu Yi about this. I just said lightly: "I'm too tired. You've already made up your mind. I have nothing to worry about." I even joked to him, "I'm so tired next to you." After being so nervous for so long, it’s time to go out and relax. After all, you have to enjoy life after making so much money, right?”
He looked at me for a long time, then put his forehead on his forehead and smiled bitterly, and said, “I don’t know if I can adapt to it?” The days without you. "
The CEO I had a crush on for ten years got married. I was heartbroken and asked to resign, but he said, "I can't live without you."
I smiled and said nothing. Time is the most equal, and he will definitely adapt in the end.
I planned to travel around after leaving the company. When he went to the airport to see me off, he asked me when I would come back to him.
Who knows, maybe this day will never come, maybe it will be the day when he tries it and finds that strong alcohol is not suitable for him. Just leave it to time, it will give us the answer. (Original title: "We Are Not Together in the End")
