A sudden confession
The sun is shining brightly, and it's already very hot even though it's only mid-April.
Yi Shiwu, wearing a construction hat, was still coordinating the construction plan with General Manager Yao's secretary. It had to be said that it was still somewhat difficult to complete the entire project within one year. One of the biggest problems was the road.
If the road problem is not solved, no one will be able to enter even if the design is good.
"Mr. Shi, please wait a moment. I have a call."
While waiting, Yi Shiwu looked towards the office. Qi Yue and Chu Zhiyi were planning the internal structure according to the construction drawings. Even after a long break, they were still good at their craft. This was Yi Shiwu's most pertinent evaluation of Qi Yue.
"Just like that, shine in the field you are good at!"
"Mr. Shi, the road problem has been solved."
"That's great. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yao."
Seeing the secretary's expression, Yi Shiwu felt that there was something else that had not been said.
"Just tell me what you have to say!"
“It’s been resolved, but you know the investor.”
"I know him?"
Yi Shiwu returned to his office and called Zou Muchu.
"You know everything."
"Um."
"I just found out about this too. If you find it difficult, I can take over your job."
"No, I just thought it was quite sudden."
"Fifteen, don't be polite to me. Don't always resist."
"I'm not being polite. Do you think I'd feel uncomfortable with Mr. Wan's investment?"
"After all, there's also the issue of breach of contract. I might be overthinking it."
"What's the big deal? Isn't it just compensation? Don't worry, I've taken care of it."
"Solved. How did you solve such a huge funding gap?"
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Zou Muchu seemed to have guessed the answer. There was only one place that could raise so much money in a short time.
It’s “Starry Sky”, a shop by the river, but it’s still a little short of the penalty for breach of contract.
"Fifteen, why didn't you discuss this with me? Starry Sky is your grandparents' former residence."
"Money? They are all external things."
That is Yi Shiwu, a child who grew up in love, who gave the word "money" a different flavor.
"Then for the remaining funds, why don't you sell the house in Jinshucheng?"
"How is that possible?"
Without selling Jinshucheng, Yi Shiwu's parents' house would not be. At this stage, Yi Shiwu has no working capital, because part of the funds under Yi Shiwu's name have been invested in the current resort. Although the proportion is very small, he is also a small shareholder. So the house can only be the first house Yi Shiwu bought after making money, the 220-square-meter one-floor one-family apartment.
"I'm saying, is your brain rusty? Why don't you sell Jinshucheng? The shortfall from Jinshucheng is enough to offset it."
"I kept half of the remaining money at home and invested the other half."
Zou Muchu found that he was becoming less and less able to understand his brother's train of thought. He always complicated simple things and ignored complicated things. Perhaps it was because he was not qualified enough to keep up with the pace of the great god.
"Okay, do whatever you want. I'll just tell you one thing. Next time you encounter this kind of situation, can you please remember that you still have a brother who can share your hardships?"
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a "click". It was not difficult to tell that he was really angry.
"Still have the same bad temper."
Yi Shiwu smiled helplessly in response to the phone call, but more of it was his recognition of this brotherhood.
"fifteen."
"Why."
After hearing the other party's response, Qi Yue pushed open the office door.
"What are you doing? I sent you a message but you didn't reply. The phone line was busy. I called you but you didn't say anything."
"I just talked to Lao Zou, what's wrong?" Yi Shiwu looked at Qi Yue gently.
"It's time to eat." Qi Yue pointed to her watch.
This watch was given to Qiyue by Yi Shiwu. Its purpose is very simple, to detect heart rate and blood pressure, etc. It is connected to Yi Shiwu's mobile phone and its main function is to monitor health status in real time. But for Qiyue, it only has one function, which is to tell time.
"Brother Shi, have you heard? President Wan is coming?"
While Qi Yue was getting some water, Yi Shiwu kicked Chu Zhiyi, signaling him to "shut up."
"Oh, don't worry, Qi Yue can't hear you."
Seeing that Yi Shiwu didn't answer, Chu Zhiyi could no longer hide his curiosity.
"You haven't told Qiyue yet?"
"She doesn't need to know, she just needs to be happy."
"The truth will come to light sooner or later. When General Wan comes, he might embarrass you. Qiyue will definitely see it then."
"So, I plan to ask your brother to transfer him back."
"I think it's difficult. Qiyue won't want to go back."
"She will come back."
"Aren't you afraid that Qiyue will be angry when she finds out? You know, Qiyue hates being deceived the most, especially by her own husband."
After hearing the word "husband" once, the originally gloomy Yi Shiwu seemed to have waited for the moment when the rain stopped and the sky cleared up, and he immediately grinned.
"Is it really that serious? Brother Shi, I find that you are not calm at all."
"Well, we who have certificates generally don't need to be calm."
I have to say that Yi Shiwu’s methods of dog abuse are still bizarre, especially against Chu Zhiyi.
"Isn't Qiyue going to graduate school? Then we can find an excuse that it's inconvenient to travel back and forth, and send her back."
"It's only mid-April, and school starts in September, so I'll be going back five months early."
At this moment, Chu Zhiyi looked at Yi Shiwu as if he was looking at a fool. It has to be said that not only love can reduce a person's IQ to zero, but marriage as well.
"Here, one bottle for each of you. Eat and drink your fill, then go to work."
Qiyue is very satisfied with her current life, her marriage is happy, she is confident in her work, and she is full of expectations for her studies. It seems that the sky is really going to clear up.
When Yi Shiwu came back in the evening, he saw that the lights in the living room were still on. He felt that it must be his newlywed wife who had not gone to bed yet.
"Yueyue, why aren't you sleeping yet so late?"
"I'm waiting for you." After saying that, Qi Yue grabbed Yi Shiwu's arm.
"It's already ten o'clock. If you don't go to bed and rest well, I'll send you back, right?"
"No, I just saw that you got off work too late, so I was waiting for you."
After saying that, Qi Yue turned around and went to the kitchen to take out the cooked noodles.
A very simple bowl of tomato and egg noodles. Although transportation in the village is not well developed, eggs and tomatoes are still available.
Qi Yue didn't know what time Yi Shiwu would get off work, but she just followed her intuition and started preparing at 9:50.
Wash the tomatoes, then dice them, put them in a small pot for cooking noodles, and boil them into a paste. Add a little water, then sprinkle the beaten egg liquid in a circle. When the eggs turn golden yellow, add appropriate amount of water again, boil, and put the dragon beard noodles in.
For Qi Yue, who can’t cook, this is already her specialty. It is the simplest and most common bowl of tomato and egg noodles, sour and sweet and very appetizing.
"As expected of Lan Qiyue, you are good at everything you do. If you weren't a designer, you could definitely be a good chef."
"Don't praise me, I know my own weight. Come on, try it and see if it tastes good."
Seeing that there was only a pair of chopsticks, Yi Shiwu stood up and went to the kitchen. Qi Yue understood his actions and grabbed his hand the moment he stood up and forced him to sit down.
"I'm not hungry. If I eat so late, I won't sleep. It's all yours."
After hearing Qi Yue's answer, Yi Shiwu picked up the chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls.
As expected, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It burns your tongue before it even enters your stomach.
"Drink some water, drink some water. Why are you in such a hurry? No one is competing with you for it."
"Haven't I ever had anything good to eat?"
"You're the only one who can say that."
"I'm not flattering you, it's really delicious."
Seeing Yi Shiwu's satisfied look, Qi Yue didn't want to be modest anymore.
"Of course, don't you see who made it? I'm an expert at cooking noodles. I'm not as good as you at cooking, but I'm not inferior to you in cooking noodles."
Listening to the chatter of my lover and eating midnight snack under the moonlight, life is so comfortable.
"By the way, I'm going to Xinghai tomorrow."
Hearing Qi Yue's words, Yi Shiwu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Qi Yue with eyes full of doubt.
Yi Shiwu knew that Xinghai was the place where the man got off the bus at that time. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Yi Shiwu wanted to send Qiyue back to Yangbin. Of course, one must hide his treasure well. What if it was stolen when he was careless?
After all, this is a fate given by God. Even if I am penniless now, I will never let it go.
"What's with that expression on your face? You look like a Capybara." Qi Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Oh, I was wondering what you were doing in Xinghai?"
Although they have known each other for a short time, Qi Yue is very clear about some of Yi Shiwu's little thoughts. Neither of them is someone who is not confident in feelings, but both of them have their own things that they cannot let go of.
What Yi Shiwu can't let go of is Qi Yue. Although he believes in her, he is still the one who is deceiving her at this stage. To be more precise, he is concealing the truth in the name of love. What Qi Yue can't let go of is the fear of the past. Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Qi Yue, who is in love, can't stand being displaced again.
"Fifteen, I love you, I love you very much. If it weren't for love, I wouldn't marry you."
Qi Yue's sudden confession left Yi Shiwu a little at a loss.
"So, as long as it's not a principled mistake and we don't wantonly trample on the bottom line, we will be bound together forever and ever."
But, if I choose to deceive you because I love you, will you still do that forever?
"That's natural. I'm super confident in myself." Yi Shiwu continued to eat noodles, as if only by avoiding Qi Yue's gaze could he avoid being discovered.
But isn't deception still deception? Even if it's done in the name of love, it can't change the fact that it's a lie. How much love is done under the false pretense of "for your own good"?
In love, what we want is never for you, but because we love you and are loved by you, so we choose to be together forever, to share weal and woe, to know each other's joys and sorrows, to stay together for a lifetime, until we grow old.
