Return home
Sensing someone approaching, Chi Xiansheng turned around and met the eyes of the young woman in overalls.
"Hello." She nodded almost invisible, she was a little embarrassed to speak, took a light breath, and handed over a drink, "Sir, your lips are very pale and lack moisture, please take this latte away Down."
Chi Xiansheng had just been licked twice by the mop dog, and squeezed out a little hand sanitizer that he carried with him. He wiped his fingers carefully and wiped it clean with a paper towel.Hearing her surprise, she didn't refuse, took it from her hand, took out the wallet with the other hand, and asked for the price.
The young woman seemed to have completed a task, her pretty lips curled up, her eyes brightened a bit, she left briskly without answering.
Holding an inexplicable latte, Chi Xiansheng stared at her back for a long time until he disappeared around the corner.
The paper cup was warm, he inserted the straw and took a sip, strawberry flavor.
Having settled down, Chi Xiansheng hesitated between accepting the drink and throwing it into the trash can.
On the phone, the voice was familiar, compared with the Qi Ye who whispered to him in the snowy night before rebirth, he was younger, but just as frivolous, even the same as before.
As long as they are professional players, they will meet each other sooner or later. Chi Xiansheng was ready to become an enemy again, but he never expected that there would be a little milk voice in an accident.
Standing by the trash can, he straightened his spine, straightened his eyebrows, pursed his lips, drank the strawberry latte one gulp, and finally threw the empty paper cup into the trash can.
The service staff had already put down the beeper, with a smile on their faces again.
As if forgetting the principles that he had always adhered to before, as if nothing had happened, he took the initiative to pack and weigh, took the mop dog, and sent it to the special item consignment office.
Although Chi Xiansheng felt strange in his heart, he didn't get to the bottom of it. He seized the time to check and board the plane.
Eleven hours later, I got off the plane with the mop dog.
The mop dog is not afraid of being put into a cage at all, and his little head seems to think that the air box is quite safe, with the long hair hanging in front of his eyes, and he lay down safely all the way.
The flight was delayed. At this time, it was just past four o'clock in the morning in China. The city was in the north, the sky was slightly bright, and it was close to the sea. The fog was faintly intertwined and floating slowly.
Chi Xiansheng lifted the zipper of his coat to the top, tucked his chin into the collar, and was wearing a sweater inside. The moisture in the wind passed through his body, creating layers of coolness.
When he was a teenager, he wore light clothes and a thin body. The cold aroused goose bumps and his hairs stood on end.The cup of hot water I drank before getting off the plane didn't matter at all, and I seemed to be more afraid of the cold.
Chi Xiansheng clenched his trembling teeth, clenched his hands, and walked out through the terminal with scattered people.
The back of his hand suddenly became hot, Chi Xiansheng turned his head, and saw the man stretch his arm holding a warm bun to the back of his hand.
"……elder brother?"
"Yeah." Chi Ge took the suitcase in his hand and passed the bean paste bag over, "I was just wondering how long it would take you to find me."
"You're busy with work, so there's no need to make an extra trip to pick me up." Seeing the tiredness that could not be concealed on Chi Ge's face, Chi Xiansheng had no choice but to look away, opened the packaging bag and took a bite. The bean paste was sweet and glutinous, and the skin was soft. .
"If I don't come, let you take a taxi until you get dizzy and vomit?" Chi Ge flicked his forehead with one free hand, "What are you thinking about?"
"In another hour, if you take the subway, the motion sickness won't be too serious." Chi Xiansheng swallowed the food in his mouth and emphasized seriously.
Chi Ge is eight years older than him. He works in a law firm and is in charge of business activities and internal affairs.Wearing a dark-colored suit all year round, he is majestic and confident, more mature and sophisticated, and it would be better if there is no plot of younger brother control.
Fearing that he would come to pick him up at the airport and delay his little rest time, Chi Xiansheng deliberately did not inform him of his plan to return to China, but in the end, he learned about it from others.
After tearing off the drawer paper, Chi Xiansheng ate the last bite of the red bean paste bun, Chi Ge took out the briefcase, and then handed over the second one.
Chi Xiansheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the moment he got off the plane, the wind blew his body freezing cold, eating one was enough to warm his stomach, but the second would definitely not fit in.I took it without opening it. The red bean paste bag is not big, and it is good to warm your hands.
He squeezed the waste paper and plastic bags into a ball, held them in his hands, and waited to throw them into the next trash bin passing by.
Before getting in the car, Chi Xiansheng took the motion sickness stickers prepared by Chi Ge, and put two stickers behind his ears.Sitting in the passenger seat, lowering half of the window, there is a sachet hanging on the interior rearview mirror, a transparent gauze bag tied with flowers and grass knots, filled with orange peels, and there is a fresh and comfortable smell in the air.
Chi Xiansheng tore the red bean paste bun into small pieces and put it in the flight case. The mop dog smelled it, barked softly, arched its nose, and began to eat slowly.
"Is this your dog?" Chi Ge drove the car smoothly when turning, merging, accelerating and decelerating. After waiting for the red light, he turned his head and asked with a smile, "It's so dirty, why doesn't it look like its owner."
After going abroad, Chi Xiansheng rarely met him, and the number of times they went together was even less.Every time I faced familiar road conditions, I frowned, pressed my throat down, formed a conditioned reflex, and made a movement of leaning back, but I didn't wait for the tilt or shake, and the nausea in my stomach before letting go. Laughing suddenly, "It's the first day of raising, it's understandable."
Driving across a long Shahe Bridge, Chi Ge turned off the navigation, parked the car on the side of the road, and chose a cryptic entry point, "Go to my place or go home?"
Sooner or later, he will reach this point without any concessions. He said frankly: "I need a severance agreement."
Chi Ge lowered his voice and called him by name, with a serious tone, "There is no law in our country that allows children to sever their relationship with their parents. It can only be terminated due to the death of one party."
"I don't need the permission of the law, as long as the person concerned is clear about it." Chi Xiansheng said softly.If she hadn't become a professional player, and she hadn't used her mother's status to threaten her again and again after she became a professional player, asking for sky-high alimony, perhaps, this wouldn't have happened.
"Why?" Chi Ge raised his hand to unbutton two shirts, tugged at the neckline, his voice was suppressed like a beast, "I didn't stop you from going to England four years ago, thinking that you could come out of it like me .But I was wrong. In just two years, you have played the piano again, and you have received many praises and reputations, which proves your innate talent. Now, do you still firmly believe that your choice at the beginning and now is the right one?"
The mop dog lay down again and closed its eyes, ate and slept, and ate and slept. Chi Xiansheng really wanted to name it something related to a pig, but it was not easy to remember the journey of the plane. A pretty name would be nice.Such as the long-haired monster, black wet, little dirty dog...
Thoughts drifted away involuntarily, and it was difficult to concentrate on thinking about what happened during that time.Someone once told him that this was an escape, and he didn't understand it at the time. Later, he wanted to tell that person that it was actually letting go.
Chi Ge took off his glasses, pinched his brows, put away his sharpness, touched Chi Xiansheng's shoulder, raised his jaw, and gave up, "Let me see your eyes."
Chi Xiansheng slowed down, glanced at the blue-gray sky outside the car window from the corner of his eye, stared at him, and said calmly, "Although it's impossible, I really want to let you see everything I've seen through my eyes."
Chi Ge's frowned eyebrows gradually relaxed, and the tails of his eyebrows were raised. After a while, he coughed and rubbed his hair nonchalantly, "It's up to you."
Chi first lowered the seat, put the air box in the back row, and then adjusted it back to the original angle.Chi Ge started the car and went back on the road, the street scene kept going backwards.
Lowering his head, Chi Xiansheng smoothed his messy hair.Like when he was young, he was always asked what kind of person he wants to be when he grows up, similar questions and what is his dream. He took the initiative to mention his future plans, his ears were a little warm, and his tone was normal, "I want to play e-sports , to be a professional player."
"Hmm." Chi Ge raised his eyelids, looking intently in front of him.
"In a short period of time, there may not be fame and income." Chi Xiansheng sniffed the pleasant orange smell in the air, raised the car window, and did not appear to be motion sick.
"En." Chi Ge nodded, turning the steering wheel with both hands.
"I didn't do it because of those." Chi Xiansheng added, turning his face, noticed half of the white silk sticking to the air blower, and pulled it off. It lay softly on the fingertips. Looking closer, it was orange .
"I know." Chi Ge leaned back, turned off the ignition, and pulled out the key. The profile of his face was clearly outlined, and the corners of his mouth were raised. "You should do what you want, not for anyone."
When I arrived at the office, the road was unimpeded, and it was already past six o'clock.
Chi Ge graduated with a major in law, was admitted to a lawyer's license, and then changed one firm after another, and finally came to this company.And Chi Xiansheng was still a junior high school student at the time, in the rebellious period, every day he was either planning to smash the piano, or planning to run away from home.
After five years, he came here for the first time.
The company faces south, and the office area has a bright floor-to-ceiling window facing the direction of sunrise.The sky was bright and white, and the sun could not be seen much. The sea view in the distance was deep and quiet, like a thick blanket, covered with undulating white waves.
It is expected that two or three hours later, the sun will flood the room, and everywhere will be red like a burning flame.
As soon as Chi Ge entered the office, he was stopped. There were two lawyers who had just returned from a business trip. They arrived at four o'clock and opened the door. They were pouring coffee and checking the files. Something went wrong when they were sorting out.
Pressing his forehead, Chi Ge handed the car keys to Chi Xiansheng, along with a bag of quicksand and a bag of vegetables, just taken out of the side pocket of the briefcase, warm.He gave a brief explanation, speaking at a slow pace: "There is a microwave oven in the drinking area, and you can eat it after heating it up. Wait for me in the office, in front of the conference room, on the right hand side, and turn into the innermost room."
Chi Xiansheng had a strong sense of direction, and quickly found the office with his hands full.I just ate a red bean paste bun, and I have food in my stomach, so I have no appetite, so I no longer go to the drinking area to find a microwave.
The office is tidy and the wooden floor is spotless. Chi Xiansheng sits on the sofa and lifts the flight case with both hands to look at it. The mop dog is still listless. He tore off a small piece of quicksand bag and put it in. Yes, instead, he spun around in circles, pointing his butt at him, looking even more airsick than him.
The office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Chi Xiansheng raised his head, but it wasn't Chi Ge. The person introduced himself cheerfully, "I'm Mr. Chi's assistant. Mr. Chi will probably be busy for a while. Do you want coffee or tea?" ?”
Chi Xiansheng nodded and thanked, "I'll do it myself."
The assistant's temperament is familiar, so I sat down and chatted with him: "I heard Mr. Chi say that you also like playing games. Have you ever played Hero Totem?"
"No."
"That's a pity, there is an international invitational tournament recently, it's very exciting!" The assistant's expression was exaggerated, and then he sighed heavily. A shameful person was thrown abroad, and now there is a lot of scolding on the Internet, and the end is either drowned by spitting, or rolled out of the professional circle, it seems that the official is also banned."
"Which team is the suspended...?" Chi Xiansheng's heart sank. He only remembered that the Australian team won this game, but he didn't expect so many things to be involved.
The assistant paid special attention to the game, and it was almost out of the circle. Without thinking about it, he blurted out: "JFY, their captain is Qi Ye, that's right!"
