Friends from afar

It’s great that we meet again.

My distant friend, it has been seven years since we last met.

The entire venue was so quiet that even the sound of a pen falling to the ground could be heard clearly. It was indeed an extraordinary first-class training and exchange conference in the industry.

At this time, Qi Yue was secretly and quietly swaying her body from side to side. She had been sitting there for ten hours and could no longer sit still.

Chu Zhiyi stood up and wanted to leave, but Qiyue didn't stand up for a long time.

Chu Zhiyi bowed and said, "Qiyue, the meeting is over, why are you still sitting here?"

Seeing Qi Yue ignored him, he immediately said, "Why, haven't you heard enough?"

Qi Yue raised her head and glared at the 1.80-meter-tall man standing in front of her, and said impatiently, "My legs are numb."

Chu Zhiyi said with a look of disgust: "What a promising prospect." Then, he continued to sit down, waiting for Qi Yue to recover.

One on the left and one on the right, the scene was so funny that the two of them sat there for another three minutes after everyone left.

They looked at each other and laughed unconsciously.

"That's what friends are like. Even if we have to suffer shame together, we should do it together."

As the sun sets, the golden sunlight falls on the two children, two not very "smart" children.

After leaving the venue, Qi Yue turned to Chu Zhiyi and said, "Don't wait for me for breakfast tomorrow. I have something to do."

Chu Zhiyi asked curiously, "What's going on? Don't you usually go back and forth between here and there in Mujin? Why are you so busy now that you're in the city?"

Without even raising her eyes, Qi Yue said, "Young man, don't ask too much about the affairs of the underworld. It will do you no good to know too much."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Chu Zhiyi to ask again, he took a step back, turned around and left, leaving Chu Zhiyi behind who was still thinking about the problem in a daze.

Qi Yue chuckled secretly, thinking, "Chu Zhiyi is a big fool."

Walking on the wide streets of Yangbin, looking at the red sky burned by fire, feeling the unique warm breath of summer, the whole body is particularly wet.

The shops on both sides of the street gradually turned on their colorful lights, making the black, white and gray in front of Qi Yue dazzling and creating a visual impact.

"Dad used to see such beautiful scenery often."

"I seem to be feeling a bit nostalgic again lately. There's nothing wrong with missing someone, but you have to control, control, and control all distracting thoughts besides your emotions."

Qi Yue shook her head gently, trying to get rid of all the distracting thoughts in her mind.

"good evening."

On such a special day, Qiyue got up early and dressed up as quickly as possible. It was obvious that today was a different day.

~~~

I don’t know why, Qi Yue’s steps are so brisk today.

"Hello, I'd like a chicken panini with egg and lean meat congee, a black pepper veal steak, French-style sesame cakes, and soy milk, plus a fried dough stick, a sunny-side-up egg, and an Americano."

"Oh, by the way, American coffee should be iced."

"Hello, would you like to dine in or take away?"

"Pack."

"Give me two more packets of ketchup, thank you."

"OK."

"It's been a long time since we last met. I don't know what you like to eat." Qi Yue stared at the menu in front of her.

"Hello, this is your breakfast, please take it."

"Okay, thank you, you've worked hard."

After saying that, he quickly walked out of the restaurant.

Qi Yue raised her wrist again and looked at her watch. It was five minutes to seven.

Qi Yue waited at the subway entrance early, looking at the people coming and going, searching around and around.

"Why haven't you left the station yet? Could it be lost?"

Qi Yue picked up the phone and was about to dial the number, but then she stopped and shook her head, "Let's wait a little longer."

"Don't rush. Sometimes mistakes are made when you're busy. Take your time and things will turn out well."

Twenty minutes later.

"Hey, Lili."

"Hey, little cutie, where are you? I didn't see you." A typical southerner.

"Li, I didn't see you either. Why haven't you gotten off the subway yet? I've been waiting for a long time, and three waves of people have passed by."

"What, cutie, you're still on the subway, and I've already arrived at the hotel where you're training."

"You're already at the hotel. I didn't tell you I was coming to pick you up? Why did you come out on your own?"

"Little cutie, you didn't read the message I sent you. I already told you that if I didn't see you when I came out, I would come to the hotel first. We will meet here. Look at you, you are confused again."

"Oh, I was in a hurry and didn't check my phone. Okay, wait for me in the lobby. I'll be there soon."

What a dramatic morning! I got up early and arrived late.

Qi Yue turned around and hurriedly walked out of the subway station.

As soon as I entered the hotel lobby, I saw that familiar figure, and Qi Yue ran over quickly.

The moment the other person stood up, he hugged him tightly.

Some people you want to run to hug.

"Oh, Lili, I miss you so much."

"Little cutie, little cutie, I miss you too. Come, let me take a good look at you."

"Well, you've lost weight, but you haven't grown taller. You're still so pretty. You're my little cutie."

"How are you? How are you? Are you growing up well?"

"Of course, my little cutie, you must grow up nice, beautiful and healthy."

Qi Yue took out breakfast and arranged it one by one while chatting with Li Li about family matters. It seemed as if time had gone back to college.

At that time, Qi Yue either attended classes or spent time with her roommates. If not, she would definitely hang out with her Li and senior schoolmates.

Lili said while eating, "Hey, little cutie, are you going to feed the pigs? You bought me so much breakfast, how can I finish it all by myself? Come on, eat with me."

Qi Yue shook her head: "I'm not hungry, I just watch you eat, I'm happy."

Lili smiled dotingly: "Look at you, you silly guy."

"By the way, little cutie, everything is fine at home, right? Your uncle and aunt are not in a hurry to marry you off!"

"Home", it was another question like this, and Qiyue had already answered it quite skillfully.

"Please rest assured, everything is fine."

"By the way, sweetheart, I have to leave tonight. I'm just on a business trip and I just happened to be passing by. You happened to be here too, so I stopped by to see you."

Qi Yue's smile immediately disappeared: "Ah, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have to bother you with this trip."

Li Ligan quickly put down the burger in his hand and said, "What are you talking about? Why bother with friends? What's the capital of young people? It's their youth. When you're young, you can do whatever you want. In a lifetime, you can only have a few close friends. If you find it troublesome to even see your friends, then you should just go to work every day to make money. What's the point of making friends? What's the point of talking about life?"

You see, it’s exactly the same as what Qi Yue said back then. Ouyang Li, a man with a clear mind and clear goals, is still the man who often preaches.

"I'm sorry, teacher. I was ignorant. I will read more books and newspapers, follow your ideas, keep up with your pace, and be your most qualified student." While speaking, he also raised his fist.

"Okay, I'm full. You can go to the training when it's time! I'll go to the steam room later to experience the culture of your bathhouse. Don't look for me at noon. I'll come to reward you in the afternoon."

"Please rest assured, I will study hard, listen carefully, and live up to everyone's expectations." Then, she respectfully handed him the backpack and reminded him, "Be careful on the road, be careful, and call me if you need anything."

"I get it. I'm already a grown man, and you still keep saying these things. I'm leaving now, so go in now."

Then he leaned in close to Qi Yue, peeking behind her and said to her, "I see a man in the back seat staring at you. He's probably not a good person. Be careful. Do you want me to go over and deal with it before I leave?"

Qi Yue turned around and took a look, then rolled her eyes at the other person.

"It's okay, go ahead and do your work. My colleague isn't very smart."

"Okay, be careful." After taking another look behind him, he left behind a dashing back figure, just like before.

A sneaky, furtive, and shifty man has been observing the opposite side for who knows how long.

Seeing Qi Yue walking towards him, Chu Zhiyi hurriedly picked up the materials needed for the meeting and pretended to look at them carefully.

"Chu Zhiyi, what are you doing? You look like you haven't had breakfast."

Chu Zhiyi said with a silly smile: "Qiyue, I was just about to go to have breakfast when I saw you coming. I thought I would wait for you to eat together?"

"Come on, I told you yesterday I wouldn't eat breakfast. You're just spying on me."

When Chu Zhiyi heard the word "surveillance", he quickly stood up and nervously explained: "Qi Yue, I don't have this habit."

Qi Yue didn't wait for Chu Zhiyi to finish speaking and turned to walk towards the venue.

Chu Zhiyi trotted after him, "Qiyue, I'm just curious. You don't usually interact with your colleagues. What kind of person is it that makes you go buy breakfast so early in the morning, and still smile so brightly? I've been working with you for almost two years, and we've never had a private meal together."

Qi Yue stopped and looked at the man in front of her who was one year younger than her. "It seems like what I said to him is true. I really seem to be staying alone in Mujin quietly. It seems like I am really alone."

Qi Yue raised the unopened breakfast in her hand and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? If you don't mind, just make do with it. We'll go to the restaurant together for lunch at noon."

Chu Zhiyi is a simple person. As long as you treat him well, he will be extremely happy. And now Qi Yue likes such simple people and simple things.

As a person, you should be sincere when you should be sincere. Don’t hide anything. It’s better to be simple.

Chu Zhiyi ate and walked while saying to Qiyue, "Qiyue, just call me Zhiyi. It's so awkward to always call me by my full name."

You see, as soon as you treat a simple person a little nicely, he will start to ask for this and that and cause a lot of problems.

Qi Yue stretched out an arc on her face: "Okay, I understand."

"You'd better stop laughing. It's too fake. I'm scared."

Qi Yue glared at Chu Zhiyi and walked forward ignoring him.

Another morning of sitting upright. Judging from Qiyue's condition, she hasn't learned anything, but her back pain is about to come back after sitting for so long.

Chu Zhiyi noticed Qi Yue's movements and whispered to her, "It's almost over anyway, why don't you go for a walk outside the venue? I'll take care of it, don't worry."

Qi Yue nodded, bowed, and walked out from the back of the venue.

With such nice weather and good air, it’s such a waste to stay in the venue.
