When we came to the courtyard downstairs, Boss Tang unexpectedly took out a box of Chinese cigarettes and handed them to me.
You know, it’s usually very difficult to get a good cigarette from him, but this time it’s just a box of China. I’m really a little puzzled.
Of course I didn't dare to answer the question, so I looked at him suspiciously and said, "No, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, I just want to ask you for a favor."
"No help."
"No, I didn't say anything about my business, and you refused?"
"It's definitely not a good thing for you to do this to me right now, let me tell you! I won't do anything illegal or criminal."
"Look, where are you thinking? I just want you to help me connect with Xiaomi. You should also be a good person, right?"
It turns out that’s what it means. It seems that when we were having dinner and chatting in the evening, Boss Tang was still frightened by what he said to Xiaomi!
"Come on, come on, put your cigarette away, let's sit down and have a good chat."
I still didn't take it because I can't do it.
I returned the cigarette to him, pulled him to sit down, and said earnestly: "Old Tang, listen to me. I believe you have felt it yourself. Xiaomi's feelings for you are actually not as complicated as we thought.
She should treat you like a brother."
Boss Tang didn't say anything, so I continued: "You really can't force this relationship. You heard what Xiaomi said during dinner tonight. It's obvious that she treats you like a brother."
"But..." Boss Tang hesitated.
I patted his shoulder and said, "You see, you don't even know what to say, which proves that you already have the answer in your heart. If you really want to give it a try, then... find an opportunity to confess your love to her directly.
"
"Confession?" Boss Tang looked at me in surprise.
"Yes, but in this case you may not even be friends anymore, so you should think about it yourself."
Boss Tang fell silent again, feeling a little sad.
I had no choice but to say to him again: "Actually, you didn't have these thoughts about Xiaomi from the beginning, right? So people will change. If Xiaomi has always meant that to you from the beginning to now, there will be no need to wait until now.
I haven’t expressed it to you yet.”
Boss Tang sighed heavily, "Okay, I get it. I'm really not good enough for her. What's more, there's such a big age difference between me and her. People will laugh at me if this gets out."
"There is no such thing as unworthy in a relationship. When I met my current wife, I didn't know her true identity. But after I found out, I was still with her... But the most important thing is whether I love her or not.
."
"Yes, you're right. I think it's good to get along like this. If this relationship is suddenly broken, I'm afraid, as you said, we won't even be friends."
"That's right. If you want to be more open-minded, I really think Sister A Cui next door is quite nice."
Boss Tang didn't say anything more to me. He shrugged and stood up and said, "Okay, go to sleep. I know what's going on."
"Well, don't think too much. Some things that are yours will always be yours. What's not yours can never be yours. You can't force it."
After watching Boss Tang return to his room, I also returned upstairs.
But I saw Xiaomi standing in the corridor on the second floor. She seemed to have heard the whole conversation between me and Boss Tang.
"Brother Chen." She greeted me.
I nodded, walked to her side and said, "Did you hear everything?"
"Well, actually I know that, and I'm quite scared too."
"Afraid, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that if Brother Tang confesses his love to me, I don't know how to answer him."
"Then what do you think of him?"
"Just like you said, he is just like a brother."
After Xiaomi paused for a moment, he continued: "Indeed, from the beginning when I came here, I had some admiration for Brother Tang, but it was just admiration... As we got along, I realized that what I liked was not
People like Boss Tang."
"Don't worry, Old Tang will figure it out. Don't think too much about what will happen tomorrow at dawn."
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
I smiled and said, "Thank you for what I did, but I didn't do anything."
"If you hadn't said those words to Brother Tang just now, he might really come back to me to confess, and by then we might not even be friends anymore,"
I smiled and asked her again: "What is the person you like like? Do you know it well?"
"He is a person who can make me happy. It doesn't matter whether he looks good or not. The important thing is that he must be humorous."
"Then have you met him?"
Xiaomi pursed her lips and shook her head and said: "Not yet, but I will encounter it soon. I believe in love."
The sentence "Believe in love" suddenly put me in a trance.
Because in today's society, not many people are looking forward to love, and people rarely even mention the word "love".
This is a society where money comes first. If you have money, you will have love. In other words, money can buy everything, including love and family ties.
I haven’t heard someone say that she (he) still believes in love for a long time. How wonderful this is!
"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?"
I came back to my senses, smiled and said: "It's okay, I just want to say that I also believe in love."
"Well, I can tell. You call your sister-in-law almost every day. I can feel your love from your chats."
"Okay, go to bed early, and I hope you find your love as soon as possible."
Back in the room, I could finally lie down.
I suddenly had an idea to set up a love topic in the resort town we are about to open.
Because "love" is really too rare nowadays.
But I believe that there are still people in this world who believe in love.
I often see ordinary and happy love in some short videos.
I have seen the story of a car accident that took away the wife and the husband died in love with her.
I have also seen a young couple who came from the mountains and created their own family with their own hands.
I also saw a husband who was terminally ill and found someone to stage an affair, just to get his wife to leave. She didn't want to drag her down, but the wife never wanted to leave her husband.
Isn't this love?
If possible, I really hope that this topic about love can save these people.
Just like the terminally ill husband who died because he had no money for treatment, the wife tried her best and borrowed money from everyone, but in the end she could only watch her husband leave her.
I am indeed eager to make money now, my desire is getting bigger and bigger, and my appetite is getting bigger and bigger.
But I am very rational and I know the purpose of doing all this. No matter what, I will maintain my original intention.
Compared with Chen Feng five years ago, I have changed, but I am still the Chen Feng who believed in love.
Even if I have been hurt, love is still my belief.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but the next morning it was a sunny day again.
After breakfast, I sent Xiaoman to kindergarten.
On the way, I received a call from Director Liu of the Investment Promotion Bureau...
