"Don't look for him." Min Hui said immediately, "This kind of rotten person is not worth your effort to deal with."

He didn't answer, just pursed his lips hard, and after a while he said, "When I was a child, I had a bad temper, and people around me couldn't stand me. Only Tian Tian let me, but even so, sometimes I was provoked. Here. Once she starts to get angry, I will calm down immediately..." He smiled, his eyes soft, as if Su Tian was right in front of him, "Because I am afraid that she is really angry, that she will ignore me from now on, I will I will take the initiative to find her, and I will try my best to make her happy, because she is my only relative and concern."

There is a picture of Su Tian on the tombstone, with a grin and a letter V, with a lot of thoughts on his brows...

"Do you know what it's like to be completely dependent on one person?" he murmured again, "Other people, as long as they have quarreled with me once or twice at most, they will definitely turn their backs on me, and even if they don't, they will stay away. Only Su Tian, ​​I know that no matter how many times I quarrel with her, every time I look back, she will forgive me and stand there waiting for me with a smile."

Of course Min Hui understood that she had biological parents who loved her.

"Tian Tian watched helplessly as he and his younger brother were abducted. At that time, he didn't know that someone had given the medicine, so he kept telling me that my mother was too careless. She only thought about her own sleep and lost her and her younger brother. It was unreliable. At that time, I thought, I must become a reliable man, otherwise Tian Tian will not feel at ease with me... When I arrived in the United States, I have been working hard in this direction, and I have not let up for a moment. Thinking of the result, it turned out to be like this: Among all her relatives, I am the most unreliable one! If I made the appointment on time, she would not"

"—It's not your fault," she hurriedly interrupted after hearing his choked voice, "don't blame yourself."

"Of course it's my fault!" He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth hard, "We once promised each other that when we grow up in the future, if we can't give our child a warm home, we simply don't let him come to this world. I work hard and earn money because I think, that's the only way to give her and our children a lot of security, a lot of security... I was wrong! Don't waste time on these things, earning money like this There is no end to things. I shouldn't leave her at all, even if the life is hard, we will suffer together, at least she doesn't have to bear it alone, at least there is someone around to help her shelter from the wind and rain! "

"Don't think so, Xin Qi, this is not Su Tian's wish."

"The day she met you was actually very close to the time we met, but she didn't bring that T-shirt and enamel water glass, indicating that she probably didn't plan to go to Yong'an Bridge to meet me. It must be... yes I'm disappointed."

Min Hui also thought about this.

Su Tian disappeared on June 27th, and the meeting time was July 7th, only ten days away. Yongquan and Jiangzhou, one is in the north and the other is in the south, while the Mushui River is in the west of Hubei. It takes four hours by train from Mushuihe to Bincheng, and five hours by high-speed train from Bincheng back to Jiangzhou. From Jiangzhou to take the T-shirt and water cup that must be brought to Yongquan, it is equivalent to coming from the motherland. The southernmost ran to the northernmost. With Su Tian's consumption habits, it is unlikely to take a plane, and it would take a day and a half to take the train. In the middle, she still has to stay in Bencheng to look for Jiajun... Of course, it's still too late to talk non-stop. It's just that if she is Su Tian, ​​even if she suddenly finds out that her younger brother is in Yukong, she points out that it is too close to meeting Xin Qi, so she will definitely bring the T-shirt and water cup with her, so as to save another train ride. Go back.

What Su Tian planned at that time, it is impossible to know now.

"Of course she wants to see you! Most of the time she thought you were dead." Min Hui comforted softly, "Didn't she say in her diary that you might not live to be fifteen years old?"

"What she said in her diary was—anyway, she'd wait for me for another three years! She must be desperate, three years have come, and she's not going to wait. Either she thinks I'm dead, or I've changed my mind. I I can't bear that she went to heaven with this kind of thought, and didn't give me any chance to explain, I didn't die or change my mind, I didn't!"

Suddenly, he burst into tears.

She stared at him blankly, feeling a burst of sadness. She would rather be blamed fiercely by Xin Qi than to see him feel so sad and blame himself.

"She must be planning to see you," she patted him on the shoulder, finding no more words of comfort. "There is no doubt about that."

"She has worked in various jobs in Jiangzhou: pushing mortar and lifting steel bars in the construction site, punching boards and shoe soles in a shoe factory, ironing clothes and buttoning in a garment factory... She goes to work in a foot bath shop, where she doesn't even have a window, and she is often bullied by customers... This is her life, day after day, humble and numb... This kind of life and this kind of suffering was originally borne by me of"

"No. The Su Tian I met was a lively and cheerful girl who was very friendly to strangers... She cared about me very much. Seeing that my hair was thin, she even recommended a hair mask to me. It's not as sad and depressed as you think. ,insensitive."

"That's what makes her different from me," he smiled wryly. "No matter how painful it is, she still laughs, even with all her strength. And I can't deceive myself like she does. Do you think we're choosing our lives? ? On the contrary, life is choosing us. When you meet too many unreliable people, including your biological parents, you will learn to calculate and pay carefully at a very young age. Because you have never You have received unconditional love, and every piece of love you have is earned and cultivated by yourself, and you simply cannot be generous in front of your feelings..."

He turned around, looked at her and said, "I'm afraid you can't understand what I said. It's a kind of 'carefulness' that accumulates over time. Every care and every joy is so precious and needs to be held in The palm of the hand, clutching it hard, it will be broken if you are not careful. In the year we broke up, Su Tian will definitely let me go, because she knows my personality and my destructive power. If I encounter too many and I have no choice, She would become a bad person, and she definitely wouldn't. From my first fight, she said, I'm not really any different from those kids, and once I get stronger, I'll bully others."

"No." Min Hui shook her head, "Su Tian let you go because she loves you, she cares about your future, and encourages you to grow. She supports you in exploring new worlds, and believes that you will eventually come back for reunion. She I love you very deeply, that's why I do this."

He didn't answer, looking at the tombstone, lost in thought.

After a while, seeing that he hadn't spoken, Min Hui pointed to a piece of space beside him and said, "Xin Qi, did you see that piece of land?"

He looked up and nodded, there was a small tomb.

"I bought it."

"You bought it?" He frowned.

"Yes. I'll be buried here when I die. I'll be your neighbor."

"You won't let us go in your next life?"

"Yes, I spent it with you."

He looked at her with a strange look. For a long time, he didn't speak, he just smiled bitterly and said, "It's late, let's go."

The two left the cemetery together and came to the parking lot outside the gate.

"Are you going straight home?" Xin Qi asked.

"right."

"I'll take it to you."

"No, it's very convenient to call a taxi." She took out her mobile phone and clicked on the taxi app.

"It's convenient for me to send you."

"No need," she smiled, "Xin Qi, I've decided on Moveon, let's start now."

He was slightly startled, then looked at her silently and raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to play, Min Hui?"

"Everything is irreversible, and there is only precious time left. I will cherish the blessings that Su Tian left me," she looked at him with an empty face, "I'm glad you can think about it, It's a relief for everyone. I wish you all the best, and take care of you—" He smiled and stretched out a hand, "I hope that all that was lost will come back in another way."

She shook hands with him forcefully, then turned her back and lit a cigarette, then walked to the shade of a tree and smoked it leisurely.

He glanced at her, walked into his car, flashed the headlights, and left quickly.

The twilight was all around, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the trees.

The car she was waiting for didn't arrive, Min Hui smoked two cigarettes in a row, her mood went up and down, she didn't know whether she was relaxed or heavy.

Pretending to be chic, she's not good at it.

There is a lot of rain in Bincheng in autumn. It is not heavy rain, and there is no thunder. It is just a few days in a row.

The GS2.0 project led by Min Hui has entered the final stage of system architecture and database design. Guanchao International is indeed a leader in the industry. Its strength and resources are several orders of magnitude higher than that of Bai'an Hi-Tech. Cheng Qirang asked Min Hui to upgrade and expand the original design in an all-round way. Intellectually challenging and intense work. After the merger, Min Hui hadn't been so devoted to the project for a long time, so when she fixed the last round of bugs, she was shocked to find that she hadn't seen her son for two weeks.

After the cemetery left, Xin Qi never took the initiative to look for Min Hui again, nor did Min Hui take the initiative to look for him. During this period, she regularly went to Xin Qi's apartment to visit her son, and she also went back on time, without any delay. It was either the nanny or Yunlu who received her, and Xin Qi himself never showed up. Asking Yunlu is also vague. He only said that Xin Qi has been very busy recently, but no matter how busy he is, he always finds time to accompany his son every day. The "quality time" between father and son is definitely not less than three hours. There were times when I couldn't walk away, so I just took my son, Yunlu, and the nanny on a business trip.

Min Hui didn't take it too seriously, she knew that Xin Qi was reliable, and as long as it was handed over to him, there was nothing to worry about.

It just so happened that she was also busy, and Xin Qi was almost on business trips out of town in the past two weeks, and Su Quan was also by his side, so she never saw each other. Su Quan was already able to take pictures with his father's mobile phone, and kept uploading the photos to the album shared by the three of them. Min Hui often went to see them. The background was either Disney or a museum, or a zoo or Sea World. His son looked elated. Father and son had a great time.

Are women really emotional animals? She was very skeptical and found that she was not as described in emotional novels. As long as she was a mother, she would think about her children all the time, and she would not think about food or dinner and worry about it every day.

Maybe it’s because a single mother has been working for a long time, or is struggling to cope with too many things. Now that she finally has a full time at her disposal, her life has become extraordinarily easy. As long as she doesn’t work, her body and mind are at a high level. state. After get off work, either learn Sanda with Yin Xu, go to supper with colleagues, or play cards and gossip with Cao Mu. In short, can play as long as want, go home at any time, and it is no problem to play games all night.

Zhou Ruji heard that she was going to turn the page, and introduced two young doctors to her successively: "I know your taste, these two are doctors who studied in Germany, they have good business, interesting people, and good family background. The key is that both I love playing games..."

But it was disrespectful, so Min Hui had to meet each other and went to a bar with one of them. She had a good impression of the two boys, but when it came to the child, they all said that they didn't mind the second marriage, but hoped that the child would live with the father in the future.

Uh—No.

The next day, Min Hui told Cao Mu about these experiences, and Cao Mu slapped the table: "I said earlier, I have a ready-made one! It's my junior brother, surnamed Lu, who used to teach at Huaqing University, but later went to sea and opened a family. A technology company that also engages in AI and self-driving software, and the business is quite good. Like you, he has been divorced once, but has no children. He is a little older, but he is very stable and understands fun. If I hadn't been fascinated by Yin Xu, I would have married him."

"Is he handsome?" Min Hui asked, she was Yan Control.

"Can I like him if he's not handsome? Of course he's handsome, but he's not handsome like an athlete.

Min Hui thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay. Ask him if he doesn't mind if I have a child, and I may live with the child in the future."

"I don't think he would mind. To be conservative, ask first."

There was a quick reply that he didn't mind.

The two then made an appointment to eat sashimi, and chatted with each other during the banquet. Mr. Lu was quite complacent about his hardware, but he was not arrogant enough to talk about it. He was very interested in Min Hui's research. Chatting happily. If he can stay in Huaqing University, he must be a scholar, but his temper is very gentle, he pays attention to listening to Min Hui's point of view, and nods in agreement from time to time. He is not a self-centered person.

After dinner, Mr. Lu proposed to go to a famous dessert shop nearby to eat cake. Min Hui said that he was tired and wanted to go home to rest, but he did not ask for his contact information. Everyone understands that this is a euphemism that doesn't make sense. Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment, and he naturally heard the meaning of shirk. Looking back on the conversation just now, he didn't know where he was wrong, and immediately said that he would not force it, but politely asked: "It's alright, in fact, when I saw you, I felt very familiar. Yes, have we met before?"

"never seen it."

"Well, it's a pity." He shook hands with her generously, "However, it's an honor to meet you."

"Me too."

The two shook hands and said goodbye. Min Hui said that she would like to go shopping nearby, so Mr. Lu had to drive away. She was about to move when her phone dinged, and a text message from Zhou Ruji came: "Are you on Jinhu Street?"

It was only then that she remembered that when she lived with Zhou Ruji in the past, their traces could be shared on the mobile phone, and then they separated and did not delete this function. Because Su Quan was often sick, and it was difficult to register at the hospital, she often went to Ru Ji to go through the back door, so she needed to know his whereabouts.

"right."

"Cao Mu said you were dating? What's the situation? Is there any drama?"

"No play. Just finished."

"Don't be discouraged, keep looking." He said, "I happen to be nearby and want to watch a movie without company. Let's go together?"

"Row."

After Zizhu's death, Ruji's mood was not so disheartened, but she was also depressed and unhappy. It happened that Min Hui was unhappy because of Su Tian's death and Xin Qi's rage. The two unlucky bastards hugged together for warmth. They often got together, either fried chicken or skewered. Watching movies was the only common hobby, and they occasionally went together. Sometimes it was a cartoon, Min Hui took Su Quan over as well, and the three of them watched it together, as if returning to the good old days of a family of three.

But she knew she couldn't go back.

Between her and Xin Qi, there was a Su Tian. There was also a purple pearl between her and Ru Ji. Both men used to treat her well, as well as Su Quan, if not for historical factors, she was not lacking in competitiveness, but unfortunately she was not the first... Following Ruji, she felt boring because life was the same. Following Xin Qi, she will panic because life has changed too much.

The movie is the latest Hollywood horror movie. There are no big-name actors, the plot is compact, and there is no pee point in the whole process. It ends at ten o'clock at night. Min Hui got out of the car and walked to the gate. She took out her mobile phone and saw that there was a missed call on it. It was Xin Qi, so she quickly dialed back.

"Hi, Xin Qi," she said apologetically, "I was watching a movie just now, and my phone was on silent."

"Yeah." The voice over there was lazy.

"What's up?"

"Your son wants to see you."

"Oh? Now? Are you at home? I'll be right over." She thought he was still on a business trip.

"I originally brought him here to find you. You didn't call back for a long time. He fell asleep in the car," he said.

There were many cars parked on the road on the left, and one of the lights flashed. She walked over, just in time to see Xin Qi getting out of the car with Su Quan in his arms.

He looked as if he had just come back from the negotiating table, in a suit and leather shoes, his hair was neatly combed, but Su Quan in his arms was wearing only a bear pajamas, bare feet, wrapped in a blanket, and his hands tightly He wrapped his arms around Xin Qi's neck.

"Give me a hug." Min Hui took it and hugged it in her hands, she couldn't help but said, "It's so heavy, I can't hold it anymore."

"I'll do it." He took it again.

The child turned around in the hands of the two of them. After such a big movement, he didn't wake up. He lay in Xin Qi's arms and continued to sleep soundly.

The two walked under the street lamp, and Min Hui touched her son's face and said, "Are you on a business trip recently? I think you were in Shanghai yesterday?"

"Just got back this afternoon."

"If you're really busy, just leave it all with me, and I can take care of him."

"No matter how busy you are, there is still time to take care of the child," he said, squinting at her.

Because of today's blind date, Min Hui put on makeup very seriously. The outside was a white wool coat, and the inside was the magnolia flower lace dress that Xin Qi gave her. The weather was very cold, and the coat was originally tightly covered, because just after eating Mala Tang, my whole body was hot, so I loosened the belt.

"What event did you attend and dress so formally?" he asked.

"Blind date."

He frowned slightly: "Do you have to wear the clothes I gave you?"

She asked in surprise, "Can't you?"

He looked at her seriously and shook his head slowly: "No, absolutely not."

A gust of cold wind blew, and she subconsciously gathered up her coat and fastened her belt: "Okay, pay attention next time."

"How is that man?" he asked again.

"Who?"

"Your object."

"Oh, no drama. It was introduced by Cao Mu. As soon as we met, I remembered that he was my freshman math teacher who taught me linear algebra."

"Isn't this good?" Xin Qi looked at her happily, "Everyone is a scholar."

"He gave me a very low grade in that class, and I can't forget it to this day."

"How low is it?"

"89."

"Is that low?"

"All my exams in this class were full marks. Just because I took allergy medicine in class, I fell asleep accidentally, and snored. He said that I deliberately despised him. I tried hard to argue, and he said that I talked back, In this way, I publicly avenged my personal revenge and deducted my overall evaluation score."

He looked at her and couldn't help laughing: "Don't you still hate him now?"

"Don't hold grudges, and definitely don't marry. In short, I can't bear it."

"Can't bear to watch a movie with him?"

"I watched a movie with Zhou Ruji."

He was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time for him to react: "So you and Zhou Ruji are also dating?"

"It doesn't count with him. He's in a bad mood recently, and he's not interested in this kind of thing."

"If you're interested, will you follow him?"

"Yes. It can be considered." Min Hui said seriously, "Zhou Ruji is a good person, and Su Quan is also good. In the future, the three of us..."

"Min Hui, stop me!" He suddenly became angry, "What the hell are you three?"

"We used to live together for four years without any quarrels or quarrels. Now that Zizhu has passed away, I think there is hope for us to get back together."

Xin Qi looked up at the sky, and after a while, he said with a sneer, "Min Hui, if you want to find a stepfather for my son, I must agree first."

"Why, Xin Qi? Why should I listen to you?"

He bit, his face flushed: "Zhou Ruji can't do it. He abandoned your mother and son."

"Nothing, the divorce was initiated by me—"

"That doesn't work either. Good horses don't eat grass."

Min Hui shrugged: "Otherwise, can you find one for me? As long as you like it, I can do it."

He glared at her, and his anger came again: "When did you become the best man? What's the use of me seeing it? You have to see it yourself."

"I trust your vision."

"..."

"Xin Qi, I have entrusted you with the important affairs of my life. You have to be careful. We will try to finalize it at the end of the year, and get the certificate during the Spring Festival. I will give birth to a sister for Su Quan."

"..."

"Anything else to say?" She looked at her watch. "I have to go in."

He suddenly changed the subject: "Can you resign?"

"why?"

"I'm afraid Cheng Qirang will bully you."

"He's busy right now, so he doesn't have time to talk to me, relax, I'll be fine." She pursed her lips and patted him on the back, "Besides, Jiajun and the others are doing news investigations, and there will be an important article soon. The pound bomb is waiting for him, and he won't have a good life."

He looked at her silently, and said softly, "Min Hui, resign tomorrow, be obedient."

She shook her head firmly: "No."

He sighed, turned and got into the car, which quietly left.

The next day, Min Hui went to work on time. As usual, she stayed in her office to write programs. When it was time for lunch, Cao Mu took her to the snack bar downstairs to eat Vietnamese noodles, and whispered, "What are you doing all morning? Woolen cloth?"

"Write a program." Min Hui blew the heat from the bowl and squeezed the lime juice into the Hefen soup, "What else can I do."

"You haven't heard of today's financial headlines? - BBG holds a sign to watch the tide international."
