Xiao has thought about it for a long time

How can you not get your shoes wet when you often walk by the river? Liang Jincheng is not a good person. If you follow him, you have to weigh how much you have, but whether it really matters or not, as long as it has nothing to do with the Qiao family.

Something happened to Zhou's family, Zhou Meihe's mother and son, and Zhou Jiaqi stayed silent for a while, they didn't buy much luxury goods, they couldn't be seen on various occasions, and it seemed that they didn't even leave the house.

It took a while for Josie to realize that it turned out that the higher-ups wanted to catch the example, and whoever in the Zhou family dared to show such a little bit of limelight might be made a fuss about.

The health food market is mixed. There have been several related scams in Jiangcheng recently. The scammers exaggerated the efficacy of health products. Now I am holding back my big move, I am not sure which company to take the knife, and failing the quality inspection is an excellent opening.

Of course, it wasn't just the Zhou family who were unqualified, that's why the Zhou family had been so quiet and low-key recently, seeking support in secret, for fear of being dragged out to take the lead.

Over the past few years, the Qiao family has been doing their best, but this time nothing happened.

Now, although the Qiao and Zhou families are related by marriage, business is business, and they have never been related at all. No matter what the Zhou family does, it will not have much influence on the Qiao family, so Josie is not worried about Qiao Jianliang.

Besides, Qiao Jianliang is not a fool. After learning about the Zhou family, he immediately left it clean and invited a few old acquaintances to dinner. We are in the same boat.

Josie finally took the bank card that Qiao Jianliang had given him before, and checked the amount, but was stunned.She put the card away and thought about it for a long time, but she still didn't call Qiao Jianliang. Qiao Jianliang said that this card was for her.

During this period of time, Fu Bei would come over from time to time, and she would be stopped by the security guards at the entrance of the community, so she would go to the store. Occasionally, when Josie was busy, she could only wait for a long time.

The university teacher is busy and relaxed. She is now teaching high mathematics for freshmen. She has to do a lot of preparation work when she first enters the industry. The relationship in the workplace is also a big problem. It is difficult to convince people, and it is inevitable that colleagues will privately allude to related accounts as time goes by.

Josie didn't pay much attention to Fu Bei's affairs, but sometimes he saw him preparing lessons and often preparing for such-and-such meetings.

Qin Si would also come here, but only during the day, which happened to be different from Fu Bei's.

"Do you have any plans to travel during the Chinese New Year this year?" Qin Si asked, helping to pass tattoo tools.

Josie was doing tattoos with the guests, earnestly and carefully, and only replied during the break: "I don't know yet, it's still a long time before Chinese New Year, let's see when the time comes."

Expecting her to answer like this, Qin Si smiled, and said with insight: "At that time, you may be like last year, and you don't want to go anywhere."

Last year, Qin Si asked her to go to Thailand to play, that's what Josie said. At that time, Qin Si would be wrong, thinking that she had this plan, and made a strategy in advance, but when it came to the Chinese New Year, Josie completely forgot about it .

Josie is too lazy, unlike Qin Si, she doesn't like to run around all over the world, she is used to staying in one place for a long time, and stays at home when she has nothing to do, and doesn't want to move.

She bowed her head for too long and her neck was sore. She twisted her head and looked at Qin Si, then buried her head in a mask and continued, saying, "I want to rest during the Chinese New Year, and I don't want to run around, otherwise I will be tired after coming back to work after the new year."

"You're not short of money, so you have to start working after the new year. It's the same if you open a month later. Anyway, not many people come for a month."

The same family is well-off, but their ideas are quite different. Qin Si advocates enjoying instant pleasures. Opening a tattoo shop is just to pass the time. When I am in a good mood, I open the store for half a month and a month. I am busy and tired. If I am not in a good mood, I run around at home and abroad, go to Hawaii for skydiving and go to New Zealand for adventure. Willing to jump out of her comfort zone, she can stay at home for half a month without going out, can go shopping and eat alone, can endure loneliness, and doesn't like to do any thrilling things.

Both are deviant, but the directions of deviant are different, one for life and the other for family.

"If you don't open a store, there's nothing to do." Josie said in a perfunctory tone.

Qin Si didn't seem to understand that this was a refusal, so he found a stool and sat down beside him, and helped to adjust the light, "Then go out for a walk, where do you want to go, Singapore or somewhere else?"

Josie asked back, "Are you going to Singapore?"

"Tell me casually, I don't really want to." Qin Si said, after some testing, he knew that she didn't want to, so he didn't mention it anymore. Seeing that she was about to continue attacking, he looked down and reminded, "Don't stab too deep Just like that."

Josie paused, raised her eyelids and glanced, "I know."

Back then when I was an apprentice under Qin Si, every time I did something wrong, I would inevitably be reprimanded by this person. Qin Si demanded high love to train others, and he would always find fault with even a small mistake. Josie was still a little uncomfortable.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and it took more than three hours for the tattoo to end.

After seeing off the guests, Qin Si suddenly asked while cleaning and disinfecting, "What have you been up to lately?"

Josie cleaned up the equipment carelessly, "It's in the store, you come here every now and then, what else can you do?"

"I met Tang Yi yesterday, at the gate of your school."

"Ah."

"She asked you." Qin Si said, there was another meaning in his eyes, as if he was sizing up and seeing through, there was a dark tide in his calm eyes, and there was a deep meaning of forbearance in it.

Some questions, she didn't ask very clearly, in fact, she already guessed what was going on, but she still pretended that she didn't know anything, deceiving herself.

Josie froze for a moment, "Ask me what?"

"Ask what you've been doing recently and if there's anything wrong."

It was the beginning of the school year, and Tang Yi was both a student and a teaching assistant. She had a lot of work to do, and basically she was only free at night, but recently Josie didn't have time at night, so she made up excuses when Tang Yi called several times He said he was too busy and didn't have time, and once even when he was so emotional that he couldn't control himself.

She lowered her eyes, tightened her palms, and then said calmly, "It's just that there are too many things to do in the store. If you can't finish it during the day, you will go back and stay up late. I don't have time for the time being."

Qin Si snorted, no matter whether he believed it or not, he didn't ask any further questions.

"Don't be too tired, don't push yourself so hard."

Josie paused, hummed lightly, and turned her back. The expression on her face dimmed instantly, but she returned to normal after turning around.Qin Si came to help herself for a long time, and after she finished packing everything, she asked Qin Si to go to the university town for dinner, and took him back by herself. eat together.

I went to a soup restaurant with a light taste.With Tang Yi's joining, Qin Si is no longer as lukewarm as in the shop, but only helped Qiao Xi serve soup twice, and did not serve Tang Yisheng.

Tang Yi kept talking as soon as she arrived, which distracted most of Josie's attention, so that she didn't notice the specialness.

"My parents are coming here for the Chinese New Year this year, and we plan to spend it in Jiangcheng, Qiao Qiao, and come over for dinner when you have time." Tang Yi said eagerly, and then talked about some recent plans.

Josie didn't refuse, but agreed, and even helped to make suggestions.Qin Si on the side took a sip of the soup, lifted his eyelids, his face was calm and his eyes were deep, with a different meaning.

This night, I ate in the university town until almost ten o'clock. When I returned to the community, the familiar black car was already waiting outside.

The community security guards are too conscientious and winking. In fact, they know that Fu Bei and Josie are familiar with each other. They see that there must be conflicts between the two, so they stop the car every time, but they will not drive them away. They only let Fu Bei go to other places. place to park.

Josie has something to look for her, so let's go in together this time.

I don't know how long I have been waiting, but this person smells like cigarettes. The smell is not unpleasant, but I am just not used to it.

In the elevator, Josie frowned, "What time did you come?"

"Not long." Fu Bei only said, his voice was slightly hoarse with fatigue, and he must be tired after a day of class today.

Hearing her exhaustion, Josie pursed her lips, silently stared at the elevator display screen, waited until she got out of the elevator on the twelfth floor, and took the key to open the door.

Fu Bei watched from behind, and the moment she lowered her body, Shu Er said again: "I met Tang Yi at the school tonight, did you go there?"

Josie froze, turned the key immediately, and replied indifferently: "I have something to do, let's go and have dinner."

No secrets at all, very honest.

When the three of them met at the gate of the Polytechnic University, Fu Bei happened to come out from Jiangda with other colleagues on the way. From a distance, he saw Tang Yi excitedly walking towards West Street with Josie on his arm, and Qin Si was waiting beside him, following him every step of the way.

The colleague was enthusiastic and wanted to invite Fu Bei to have dinner with him, but Fu Bei didn't go and stood at the gate of Jiang University for a while, watching the three of them gradually go away.

Qin Si always stood by Josie's hand in a nonchalant manner, always keeping a line of distance, and approached proactively every time he pulled away.

For a meal, how long did they spend there, and how long did Fu Bei wait here? A few hours were neither too long nor too short.

Open the door, go in and turn on the light.

There was no rush, Josie went to the bathroom to take a shower first, then found new toiletries for Fu Bei to use, and then Fu Bei went in again.

Maybe it's because the weather is getting colder. Tonight's hot water doesn't seem to be hot enough, and the water pressure isn't strong enough, so it's not comfortable to take a shower.She switched positions with Josie, as if Josie had experienced it before, and now she has to bear it.

In the room, the bedside lamp was on, and the light was strong and hot.

It was raining lightly outside, holding the pearl and walking twice on the wet path full of water, holding Josie on his lap and sitting, Fu Bei rested in Josie's neck, wanting to say What, but Josie refused to say, she tilted her head, lowered her head and sealed her lips.

There were two people's mobile phones on the bedside table. Josie's mobile phone suddenly lit up, and a message from WeChat came in, and the notification sounded once.

The note shows Qin Si.

Josie withdrew her hand from Fu Bei's hair, but didn't intend to get the phone, but responded to Fu Bei.

The beep sounded again.

She paused, and reached out to touch the phone, but Fu Bei, who was one step ahead, suddenly grabbed her wrist, turned over and pressed her face down on the bed.

"Wait a minute—" Fu Bei said, biting the tip of her ear lightly.
