Ever since Ye Fei rejected Yan Xiao on Valentine's Day, the two have lost contact and have never met again.
Ye Fei felt that Yan Xiao must have given up completely this time, and the feeling of relief only lasted for a moment. Then, there was overwhelming discomfort.
The line from the throat to the chest seemed to be blocked by a hard object. It was painful and swollen, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Ye Fei knew that Yan Xiao should always look forward and would meet someone better and healthier than himself, which was a good thing, but she still couldn't help feeling pain.
Fortunately, Ye Fei only has two years left to live. If she is lucky, she may not see Yan Xiao with someone else.
Just get through it, just get through it.
Ye Fei opened her email and was about to find something to do to divert her attention when there was a knock on the office door.
He adjusted his expression before saying, "Come in."
Unexpectedly, the visitor was not only Gu Ruijia, but also Sun Qiong who had not been seen for a while.
Sun Qiong was drafted by his father a while ago and was in charge of the bidding for a piece of land in the east of the city. He was so busy that he rarely even showed up in the group.
"What brings you here?" Ye Fei kicked a chair over and said jokingly.
Sun Qiong didn't respond. He looked Ye Fei up and down and said in surprise, "Is this... because you lost weight or something? Your aura has improved."
Ye Fei has indeed lost weight recently, and the lines on his facial features appear more sharp. Sitting on the chair now, although she was much shorter than Sun Qiong, when she looked up and spoke to him, she did not appear to be weak. Instead, she had a vague sense of control.
"Hey? Has he lost weight?" Gu Ruijia leaned over and took a closer look. "I didn't notice it. It might be because I stay with him every day. But Ye Fei has indeed eaten less these days."
"Flattering is useless," Ye Fei lowered her eyes and cleverly avoided the topic, "If you don't have money, you won't have a partner."
"Fuck," Sun Qiong was so angry that she immediately forgot to continue asking and walked over to sit down. "Who the hell wants to date you? Do you have big breasts?"
"How do you know I haven't?" Ye Fei threw a bottle of mineral water to him and said lazily, "Have you touched it?"
Sun Qiong: “…”
Sun Qiong raised his hands in surrender: "I'm afraid of you. Let's get down to business. I came here today because I have good news to tell you."
Ye Fei raised her chin towards him, motioning him to continue.
Gu Ruijia also dragged a chair over, her face full of gossip: "Hurry up, what's going on? You've been keeping it so secretive, and you've kept me in suspense for so long."
Sun Qiong cleared his throat and said, "Ye Yao sold two houses yesterday. One is a sea view house in Haoyue Bay, and the other is an apartment in Maple Leaf Square. The total cash he got is more than 30 million."
Sun Qiong's family is in the real estate business, so they are well-informed about this area.
Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I didn't even know he had houses in these two places."
Sun Qiong and Gu Ruijia looked at each other and immediately understood that it was probably Ye's father who bought it for Ye Yao without telling Ye Fei. They are all my biological sons, no one else would be so biased towards them.
"How can this be called a good thing?" Gu Ruijia frowned and looked at Sun Qiong with dissatisfaction.
"Don't worry, I haven't told you the main point yet." Sun Qiong was worried about touching Ye Fei's sad memories, so she didn't argue with Gu Ruijia and hurried on, "Do you know why he sold the house?"
Sun Qiong did not keep the secret and continued in a low voice: "He owes a huge gambling debt!"
"Gambling debt?" Ye Fei propped up her chin with her hand, thinking, "Are you sure?"
Although Ye Yao is stupid and vicious, he is not depraved and he never touches things like gambling.
"Yes, I know someone who is in Wang Zhao's circle. I've asked around," Sun Qiong told Ye Fei. "Ye Yao got together with Wang Zhao for project investment. At first, he was just involved in a small gamble, but now..."
He sneered, "If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Didn't Dingyuan's new drama flop? Your ungrateful bastard must be in a bad mood, so he took a big gamble and got into trouble."
Not long after the filming of "Please Wake Up" started, Dingyuan also filmed a web drama. It is not a modern drama, but a costume drama, which is made to take advantage of the recent hit TV series "The Empress Dowager's Biography".
Due to effective publicity, the number of views of this ancient costume web drama on the first day was very good, and it seems to be on the verge of becoming another hit.
However, this situation only lasted for two days. Without solid quality support, no amount of marketing would be of any use. The number of views began to drop sharply from the third day.
Gu Ruijia initially kept an eye on the data online, fearing that "Please Wake Up" would be surpassed, but later he became too lazy to even look at it.
"Oh, that drama," Gu Ruijia smiled gloatingly, "It's understandable that Ye Yao is in a bad mood. Now there's not even a splash."
"How is it?" Sun Qiong looked at Ye Fei, "Do you feel better after listening to this?"
"Thank you," Ye Fei reached out and touched Sun Qiong's bottle with hers, saying calmly, "I never thought he would be so suicidal."
Ye Fei had long guessed that Ding Yuan would not last long in the hands of Ye's father and Ye Yao, so after his rebirth, he did not take the initiative to do anything, but just watched them struggle coldly.
What's the point of beating someone to death? Cutting meat with a dull knife is the most painful. Going from heaven to hell step by step, but being unable to do anything about it, the gap is so huge that it would drive anyone crazy.
Who knew that if he didn't take action, Ye Yao would think that his life was too long and rush to the battlefield to offer his head.
"Take it easy," Sun Qiong patted Ye Fei's shoulder, comforted him, and then changed the subject at the right time, "Why don't you ask Lao Zhou to come out for a drink tonight?"
"Eating is fine, but drinking is not." Ye Fei took out a pack of cigarettes and gave one to Sun Qiong and Gu Ruijia respectively. While lighting it, he said, "I plan to go to the northwest."
"Because of the budget?" Gu Ruijia asked Ye Fei for a lighter. "It's not necessary."
"Use your own," Ye Fei raised her hand, avoided Gu Ruijia, and put the lighter in her pocket, "It has nothing to do with the budget. The conditions over there are too difficult. I heard that several actors were sunburned recently. It would be unreasonable not to visit the set once."
Going out to relax might help me calm down faster, and I won't be thinking about seeing Yan Xiao all the time.
"Why are you so stingy? What's wrong with using your lighter?" Gu Ruijia complained, moving closer to Sun Qiong and lighting his cigarette with his cigarette butt. "What you said makes sense."
Ye Fei lowered his eyes, exhaled a smoke ring, and said nothing.
"When do you plan to leave?" Gu Ruijia asked again, "I'll ask the administration to book a plane ticket for you."
Sun Qiong interrupted and said, "Doesn't Brother Xiao have a private jet? Why are you booking a ticket?"
"It's inconvenient," Gu Ruijia rolled her eyes at him, "Not only do we need to apply for flight routes in advance, but our crew is in the mountains and there's no place to park the plane."
"The sooner the better," Ye Fei said, stroking the lighter in his pocket unconsciously, "Let's see if there is a flight tomorrow morning. If there is, let's go tomorrow morning."
Gu Ruijia made an OK gesture to him and agreed.
After taking care of the air ticket issue, he left work early and went out to eat with Ye Fei and Sun Qiong.
On the other side, Yan Xiao, who had just finished a video conference, returned to the office. He did not immediately plunge into his heavy work as usual, but took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album.
There were originally twenty-seven photos in the album named "Ye Fei", but now there is only one left. But this one was given to him by Ye Fei on his own initiative, so the meaning is naturally different.
In the photo, Ye Fei was leaning on the sofa, smiling openly and unrestrainedly. Next to him was a bright, large floor-to-ceiling window. The sun was shining brightly outside, making the captured image a lot softer.
Yan Xiao touched Ye Fei's face on the screen with his fingertips, but the longing in his heart did not ease much.
From that day till now, they have not seen each other for four days, three hours and thirty-eight minutes.
He really wanted to find some excuse to knock on Ye Fei's door like he did in the past. But thinking that Ye Fei might not want to see him, he restrained himself.
Yan Xiao knew that he was a dull and boring person who couldn't say sweet words or make Ye Fei happy, so it was normal for him to be rejected. So even though there is loss, you will not become depressed or despair.
The only thing is whether they can meet occasionally. It doesn’t matter if they have nothing to talk about like before, at least Yan Xiao can see Ye Fei.
Yan Xiao exited the photo album and clicked into Ye Fei’s circle of friends. Ye Fei rarely posts status updates, and the last one was a month ago, in which she praised a fried pork chop restaurant downstairs from Tianxi.
Yan Xiao read those few status messages over and over again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He told the driver to wait for him downstairs, then got up and walked out of the office.
"Hey? Brother Xiao, where are you going?" As soon as he walked to the elevator entrance, he ran into Cheng Minghao who came up to look for him.
Yan Xiao replied briefly, "I'm busy," and walked into the elevator without looking back.
Cheng Minghao looked at his back and sighed. He had a vague guess that the date that day might not have gone well, but because he was the one who came up with the idea, he was afraid that Yan Xiao would get angry with him, so he didn't dare to ask.
Forget it, Cheng Minghao rubbed his face and stopped thinking about it. They should solve their own problems themselves. Why should a single guy like me worry about it?
When Yan Xiao arrived at Tianxi, it was exactly five-thirty in the evening. According to Ye Fei's usual schedule, he would be off work in half an hour.
Yan Xiao did not go up, nor did he alarm Ye Fei. Ask the driver to park the car downstairs and wait quietly for Ye Fei to come out.
However, ten minutes passed, half an hour passed, and an hour passed, but Ye Fei still did not show up.
Yan Xiao took out his cell phone and opened Ye Fei's WeChat. He looked at it for a while, but nothing was sent. I turned to check my Moments and happened to see a status posted by Gu Ruijia not long ago:
[Gu Ruijia: Let’s go, brothers~[Picture][Picture]]
Only then did he realize that he had arrived at an unlucky time. Ye Fei had gotten off work early today and had gone out to have dinner with friends.
It was already dark, and the bright street lights shone on the roof of the car, casting a bleak white light.
Yan Xiao did not go home directly, but asked the driver to drive to the fried pork chop restaurant that Ye Fei had posted on WeChat Moments and ordered a pork chop set meal.
It was the dinner rush hour, the restaurant was almost full, and all kinds of noises mixed together, making it very noisy. Yan Xiao sat alone in the midst of the hustle and bustle, silently finishing the pork chops and shredded cabbage on his plate.
He waited for more than an hour but did not see Ye Fei. In the end, he only ate a pork chop set that Ye Fei had eaten before, but he still felt very satisfied.
The author has something to say: I don’t think it’s that sad actually_(:з」∠)_ It takes an opportunity for Ye Fei to completely open her heart, and then it will be very sweet! So sweet!
