Sincere words, thinking of the bamboo heart, tears are flowing, the morning moon is hooked
"Xiaoyu." Qian Jianjun changed his mind after opening his mouth. He stiffly came up with an excuse, "How's the e-commerce platform doing lately? How's the cross-industry cooperation with other industries going? Can you spare some time to prepare some materials for me?"
"OK."
After waiting for a few seconds and hearing nothing, Gu Quyu asked with concern, "You don't look well, are you okay?"
"I worked overtime last night and couldn't fall asleep since then."
"Don't force yourself, get some sleep and catch up."
"It's okay. I'll take a break after I finish arranging the work. Go and call Xinyue over for me and give her some homework. Then I'll rest."
Gu Quyu went out meekly.
"Wow, uncle, you look scary. Did you stay up all night and have a heart-to-heart talk with your pretty lady?"
Qian Jianjun's wound burst open, "I need your help!"
Something was not right, so Tu Xinyue didn't dare to continue joking. "What's wrong?"
"Yesterday I..."
After listening to Qian Jianjun's painful memories, Tu Xinyue muttered thoughtfully, "No wonder she neither confirmed nor denied it when I asked her if she had a boyfriend."
Qian Jianjun still heard her words, "Did you know this before?"
"I don't know. You know Sister Yue's condition. She's definitely not at the point of perfect harmony yet, so uncle, you're not completely without a chance."
Qian Jianjun could tell Tu Xinyue's consolation was perfunctory. "You don't have to comfort me. Xiaoyue's ability to express her position so clearly shows that she has already made her decision!"
"Uncle, aren't you prepared to fight again and again despite repeated failures?"
"That's assuming Xiaoyue doesn't have anyone in her life yet." Qian Jianjun's voice was low, sad and frustrated. "Now that I think about it, I was too conceited. I always thought that even if Xiaoyue rejected me, it was because I wasn't good enough. I always thought that my only opponent was me! I didn't expect that I would lose to one, one..."
"Uncle, even RMB can't be loved by everyone. There are still people who regard it as dirt. Sister Xiaoyue is just weak on the outside and more understanding. In fact, she is as proud and independent as your wife. In fact, she is even more proud and independent than your wife."
Influenced by Xue Jiuyue, Tu Xinyue still regarded Mei as Qian Jianjun's wife, and also revealed some news she heard from Xue Jiuyue.
Qian Jianjun didn't notice these details at the moment. "You may be right. But now, now I really feel uncomfortable..."
"Are you unwilling to give up? Uncle, please don't be so possessive. If you love someone, you should consider her feelings. At least love her the way she loves you. Your wife is like this, and so is Sister Xiaoyue." For someone like Qian Jianjun who is used to independent thinking, it is better to stop at the right time so as not to backfire. This is what Xue Jiuyue told Tu Xinyue.
So she quickly changed her perspective and put herself in Qian Jianjun's shoes. "I think your primary concern right now is how to maintain your friendship. At least there's still a chance. Having someone in your heart isn't set in stone! You can get divorced even after getting married. Sorry, it was just an accidental injury, uncle, I didn't mean to say anything!"
Tu Xinyue didn't add anything. Qian Jianjun wasn't in that much pain yet. She could only focus all her attention back on Xue Jiuyue. "Is there still hope?"
"I can only say that there's still a chance! No matter what, since you made Sister Yue so angry, you have to apologize! But the doctor's attitude shows that they probably haven't broken the final window paper yet." Tu Xinyue hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Uncle, you know Sister Yue and I have a very close relationship. Sometimes when she talks to me about you, she actually cares about you very much, but she herself didn't realize it, including that time when Zeng Le and I went to see you at night."
"Really?" Qian Jianjun finally perked up a little.
"Don't be happy too soon. Many times it's easy to find a spouse, but hard to find a confidant!" Tu Xinyue also said the second half of the sentence to Xue Jiuyue.
Listening to Qian Jianjun's words, he was told that Xue Jiuyue only regarded him as a confidant, but he had regained some of his "little bully" arrogance at this time, "That makes sense! But we must fight for it."
"Uncle, I'll take my leave now!" Tu Xinyue turned around and said goodbye, but before leaving, she rolled her eyes and said lightly, "Uncle, given Sister Yue's condition, if she can't be cured, can you accept platonic love?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Hehehe...Uncle, guess..." Tu Xinyue ran out cleverly.
"Ying'er, pass me a plate..."
"Here!" Qiu Nian's voice reminded Ke Yike who was busy.
Knowing that they were short of staff at noon, Qiu Nian took the initiative to stay and help.
But he was not Zhou Ying after all. As soon as he had some free time, Ke Yike habitually called out, "Ying'er?"
After a long time without any response, Ke Yike finally reacted and felt disappointed.
"Yiyi, I just realized today that Keke is so dependent on Zhou Ying." Qiu Nian whispered his discovery to Lin Yiyi.
"Some people are like opium. When they are around, you feel that they are everything. When they are completely gone, you realize that they are drugs. Some people are like air. When they are around, you ignore them. When they are gone, you realize that they are everything." Lin Yiyi was out of character. Not only did she explain carefully to Qiu Nian, she also raised her decibel level.
Qiu Nian didn't consider Lin Yiyi's ulterior motives, but simply expressed his sincerity, "You are air. I can't breathe for a second without you! But you are also a drug. Sister Yue said that I am deeply poisoned and there is no cure! If you don't scold me for a few days, I will feel uncomfortable all over."
Lin Yiyi looked at the smirking Qiu Nian, rolled her eyes at him, and whispered, "Bitch!"
Now, Qiu Nian laughed even more intoxicatedly.
Ke Yike lay listlessly on the bar. It wasn't that he didn't hear Lin Yiyi's words, but his brain was so muddled that he couldn't even think about 1+1=2. Just now in the kitchen, he had secretly taken two sips.
Xue Jiuyue also leaned back on the sofa, constantly asking herself, what if her health didn't improve? Could she bear to drag Liu Che down with her?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Not only did she not get an answer, her uncontrollable mind also brought back Liu Che's words from before, "Instead of supporting each other in times of adversity, it is better to forget each other in the world. Shouldn't love be about making beauty continue as long as possible?"
The sunlight outside the window has dimmed, making the chaotic thoughts as disorganized as long shadows in the evening light.
"Sister Yue, it's time for dinner!" Lin Yiyi's voice pulled Xue Jiuyue out of her indulgence.
"Oh well."
Lin Yiyi hesitated for a moment before reporting, "Even though you knew Zhou Ying wasn't coming back, you still cooked for five people!"
"Pack two portions and I'll send them to Zhou Ying. I'll eat with her!" Xue Jiuyue made the decision.
After knowing this decision, Ke Yike suddenly said, "Sister Yue, wait a moment."
He took out a large takeaway paper cup, poured in red wine and cola in the appropriate proportions, and finally added a lemon slice. He packed it up and handed it to Xue Jiuyue, "This is for Ying'er."
Despite having spoken on the phone on the way, Xue Jiuyue was still surprised when she knocked on Zhou Ying's door. This girl, who was always so strong that it made people feel distressed, was still gritting her teeth and holding on. She was dressed neatly, even the first button of her shirt was buttoned tightly, but her swollen eyes were still full of tears.
"Have you eaten?" Xue Jiuyue asked with concern.
Zhou Ying didn't answer but just shook her head.
"I haven't eaten either, let's eat something together!"
Zhou Ying still shook her head.
"Uncomfortable?"
Zhou Ying spoke slowly, her sweet voice already hoarse, "My heart aches, Sister Yue, I'm sorry, I can't hold on any longer, I want to leave..."
"Silly girl, today's incident has nothing to do with you. Why are you reacting so strongly? Keke doesn't know all this, and he won't know in the future. Because Mr. Qian doesn't know either! I told him I arranged it."
"Thank you, Sister Yue! I'm only afraid that he'll know, but that's only part of the reason." Zhou Ying gathered her thoughts and tearfully began to confide, "Sister Yue, the key issue is my own. Encountering this was purely accidental, and perhaps this was the straw that broke the camel's back. I've never felt how painful it was to have a crush on him, and I didn't mind helping him pursue you, because I always told myself that I wanted the purest feelings. But this morning, I suddenly realized that I'm no longer pure. Is this still the same me? In fact, I doubted it. That wasn't what he gave me. There was a very high probability that it wasn't for me, but I still took the gamble. Why? Because my feelings are no longer pure. I'm just trying to gain for the sake of gaining!"
Zhou Ying became emotional at this point, tears streaming down her face. "Once the feelings were no longer pure, I realized that everything that happened before was just heartbreaking pain. I felt so wronged and miserable..."
Her hoarse voice began to choke and she gradually broke down in tears, "So...so...I want to hide, want...want to escape..."
Xue Jiuyue hugged Zhou Ying and gave her a warm embrace, "Silly girl, I understand you and know you're suffering... Cry it out, cry it out..."
Although the flowing tears could not take away the pain, they could slowly let the emotions pour out. After Zhou Ying gradually calmed down, Xue Jiuyue whispered in her ear: "I really understand you. The sudden collapse of beliefs is the most painful. Just like Liu Xiaofeng wrote in "Salvation and Freedom", ordinary suicide is based on a certain belief. He believes that the world should not be like this; but the suicide of a poet is not based on any belief, otherwise he would not commit suicide. You suddenly find that the purity you have always adhered to is no longer pure, and the belief suddenly disappears. Then you feel that your previous behavior was like a fool, and the future direction is at a loss. You can't accept it, right?"
Zhou Ying stood up from Xue Jiuyue's arms, looking at Xue Jiuyue in disbelief with a pair of tearful eyes. She asked in a low, dry voice, "Have you experienced this too?"
"My view on love used to be similar to yours. I hoped for a lifetime of romance, but suddenly I realized that I might never find love again. That despair was even more complete than yours right now." Xue Jiuyue smiled bitterly and recounted the past before comforting him, "You just can't untie the knot in your heart right now. In fact, everything is getting better. It's not even the darkness before dawn. The darkness before dawn is the darkest, and you are already at the dawn."
"Dawn is about to break?" Zhou Ying couldn't believe it.
"Haven't you noticed that after I coughed that day, he rarely came near me recently? He must have completely understood that he and I are not suitable for each other not because he is not good enough, but because we are not suitable at all. He can understand the example I used with the ingredients the most. It's not that he didn't know you were good to him before, but I just blinded him."
Zhou Ying had some sense of Ke Yike's change; otherwise, there wouldn't have been the previous misunderstanding. But she was still unsure, "Sister Yue, please stop comforting me..."
"Haven't you noticed that lately, Keke has been the last to leave at night and the last to come in the morning, and many times he's still reeking of alcohol? You know he was traumatized by his drinking, so what else could be bothering him so much that he's going to get drunk?"
