Chapter 4
Chapter 4
As an architect, you often have to start from scratch, design, draw, lay the foundation, build the building layer by layer, and finally complete it. There is no miracle of rising to the sky in one step and rising a tall building in one day.Every step must be exhausted, rigorous and careful. For Qiao Mubai, the most important thing he lacks is patience.Be it work or love.
The slow Qiao Mubai likes to boil frogs in warm water, and slowly infiltrates his life with Fang Qihong. He believes that as long as that Suzhou girl doesn't show up again, he can lead Fang Qihong into the trap he set.
The revived Fang Qihong rose again, and he wanted to reopen his architectural design firm. As a colleague, Qiao Mubai selflessly provided help within his scope of authority, which caused William to feel repeatedly that Qiao Mubai was better than him in this future. Hello brother-in-law and boss, I personally support a new competitor, but Qiao Mubai seems to have won Fang Qihong, after that Fang Qihong's is his own, he just made an early investment.
The design drawing inspired by the shadow of a Suzhou girl has already started construction, and it was built in Suzhou. Fang Qihong said that she might be able to see it one day.When he said this, Fang Qihong focused on the harlequin frog with gentle eyes. Qiao Mubai was stuck in his heart for a long time because of these words, but soon he regained his composure.
"Do you want to eat mussels again today?" Qiao Mubai ran to Fang Qihong's house uninvited to have a meal. He went to the restaurant where he had dinner to learn, but that restaurant had already closed, and he was afraid that when he saw the girl again, he would not be able to eat the same taste as before.No matter how many times Fang Qihong failed, Qiao Mubai ate it.
"I think the taste is very similar this time, try it." Fang Qihong enthusiastically brought a plate of mussels for Qiao Mubai to taste, the corners of Qiao Mubai's mouth twitched slightly, forget it, this is an investment.
"It's really close." Qiao Mubai's good dining etiquette made Fang Qihong unable to see any dissatisfaction with the food. Qiao Mubai took out the tissue after eating three symbolically, and said casually, "William introduced me today." Two girlfriends and a boyfriend."
Fang Qihong shook his hand holding the wine glass, and took a big gulp of wine than usual, "Why do you still have a boyfriend?"
Although Fang Qihong asked Qiao Mubai the question he wanted, he didn't intend to answer it, and poured wine into his glass on his own, "He will return to the United States next year, and he said he will complete the work my sister gave him. As for the task, to be honest, that man really suits my taste."
Fang Qihong felt that he didn't know the neighbors he had been with for two years. Qiao Mubai usually kept his life clean, didn't go to nightclubs, didn't have promiscuous sex, and there were many suitors around him, but he didn't seem to be tempted. His hobbies were tennis and his golden retriever Tony. He was also the one who helped me the most in the past two years.But today, he discovered a deeper secret, his good neighbor seems to be gay.Fang Qihong, a Martian man, feels that his world view has been broken into another world by his neighbor.
"What's your taste? What's he like?" Fang Qihong tried his best to look as if nothing had happened. He was not homophobic, and he did not have the tendency to exclude his neighbors.
Qiao Mubai gently shook the wine in the glass, seemingly calm, but if you observe carefully, you can see that his hand under the table is tightly clutching the corner of his clothes, pretending to be serious about tasting the wine, and taking a sip The tone "feels like you."
Fang Qihong was embarrassed. How did this describe him? Like him, Fang Qihong's EQ was not low. He had a faint feeling that there was something in Qiao Mubai's words.When Qiao Mubai raised his head slightly, those calm and unwavering eyes instantly stirred up a huge wave of melancholy, and was quickly hidden by the owner of these eyes. Fang Qihong even thought that the emotion he saw was his own illusion.
Qiao Mubai didn't want to scare Fang Qihong away, there were enough hints like this, he hooked the corners of his mouth and pulled out an exaggerated and joking smile, "When you are interested in men someday, you must be the first to consider me .”
Maybe it was because Qiao Mubai's joking tone was too real, Fang Qihong heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't want to lose a friend like Qiao Mubai.Just as Qiao Mubai expected, Fang Qihong had unknowingly left a place in his heart for Qiao Mubai. In fact, even he himself didn't know that this position had surpassed that Suzhou girl.
one year later
"It's right here. You can still see my company from here." Qiao Mubai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and pointed to the window above. Fang Qihong was also very satisfied with Qiao Mubai's choice, and stood side by side with Qiao Mubai by the window Looking forward, listening to Qiao Mubai's undisguised excitement, "I'll go back and change my office to the window, so you can still see me when you're working."
"Let's do it here." Fang Qihong finally made a decision, and he didn't know why he was vaguely expecting Qiao Mubai to change his office to the window.He always thought that in the past three years, he rejected every girl who pursued him because of that Suzhou girl.
"I'm going back to work too. William went back to the United States. I've got all the work on me. Work hard. Call me when you have something to do here." Qiao Mubai bid farewell to Fang Qihong, and didn't let Fang Qihong see him off. Anyway, the two of them I'm so familiar that I don't need such politeness.
Just when Qiao Mubai thought that life would continue to be peaceful like this, he found that God just likes to joke with him, and an accident happened after he was only on a business trip for three days.
Returning to Hong Kong from a business trip in Shanghai, Qiao Mubai didn’t need to hurry back. He remembered that Fang Qihong had an ice hockey game, so he hurried back to Hong Kong. He returned to the company to put down the documents, and saw the opposite party dancing in front of the French window At first, Qiao Mubai thought that Fang Qihong was calling him, but Fang Qihong picked up his horned frog. Qiao Mubai felt something was wrong. Is there that Suzhou girl downstairs in his company?
Qiao Mubai couldn't help but took a few steps towards the French windows. This time Fang Qihong finally noticed that the person above the Suzhou girl, the person who should have been in Shanghai, had returned.
"Hey, you're back." Fang Qihong didn't hold back, and called Qiao Mubai. The light in Qiao Mubai's place was dim, so Fang Qihong couldn't see Qiao Mubai's expression clearly.
"Ah, put the things back in the company, just now..." Qiao Mubai hesitated for a moment, his expression was gloomy, and his tired voice was slightly hoarse, "Did you make an appointment?"
"I saw her and just asked her out."
"Happy date, I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first." Qiao Mubai congratulated against his will, hung up the phone in a hurry, sat down weakly, propped his aching head with one hand, and stared at the phone screen to turn it off.He smiled wryly, he didn't dare to ask Fang Qihong, am I just a friend to you?He didn't dare, he was afraid to ask, even friends couldn't do it.The three years of companionship were destroyed after the girl appeared, and Qiao Mubai was in unspeakable suffering.
Qiao Mubai is not a timid person, but when he meets someone he cherishes, he can't help restraining his sensibility.
"Mr. Qiao, you are back." A female employee wanted to come back to pick up something she had forgotten, but unexpectedly saw the slumped Qiao Mubai. Unlike Qiao Mubai who was confident and sunny during the day, she was already interested in Qiao Mubai. The female employee couldn't hide the throbbing in her heart, "Are you okay?"
Qiao Mubai quickly adjusted his expression, and smiled lightly, hiding his vulnerability under the smile, "I'm fine, what are you doing back here?"
"I forgot something, come back to pick it up, Mr. Qiao, do you want to go?" The female staff tried to get close to Qiao Mubai. Qiao Mubai nodded and picked up the car key, because it was a colleague who didn't look up but looked down, gentleman Qiao Mubai's "Well, are you going home? Do you need me to drive you?"
"Then trouble you." Of course, the female staff would not give up an opportunity to get close to Qiao Mubai. Of course, Qiao Mubai was only out of colleagues and didn't think too much.
Qiao Mubai and Fang Qihong met unexpectedly. Qiao Mubai stood by the car and looked at Fang Qihong who was carrying the horned frog face to face. Fang Qihong noticed the woman in Qiao Mubai's car. It was the first time he saw a woman sitting in the co-pilot of Qiao Mubai's car, "Are you going on a date?"
"Zhao Ling, she's a colleague, take her home on the way." Qiao Mubai supported the car door, clasped the door tightly with his fingertips, met Fang Qihong's gaze, and said slowly, "Although I want to take you home by the way, by the way." , Come on for today's game, it seems that I don't need to accompany you, so let's go first."
Qiao Mubai didn't sloppily get into the car and leave, Fang Qihong just stood there, watching Qiao Mubai drive in the opposite direction of home, Qiao Mubai kept looking at him, the seriousness and loneliness in his eyes formed A complex catalyst made Fang Qihong feel an indescribable sense of unease.I have been hiding in a taboo place deep in my heart that I have never stepped into, trying hard to break free from the shackles.
"Mr. Qiao, don't you want to sit down?" Zhao Ling invited Qiao Mubai. Qiao Mubai stared straight ahead, and his headache seemed to increase again. "No, I need to go back to the lounge."
Zhao Ling glanced disappointedly at Qiao Mubai who seemed to be polite, but had never looked at her in the eye. She was just about to continue to fight for it, but Qiao Mubai just turned her head. There was no trace of desire in her eyes, and she was even a little impatient.The witty Zhao Ling immediately changed her words, "Be careful."
In the end, Qiao Mubai still didn't go home directly. He found a bar for the first time, and drank two glasses of strong alcohol in a row. His drinking capacity was not as good as Fang Qihong's, and he slowed down only when he drank the third glass.Qiao Mubai ignored the eyes around him who wanted to come forward to talk, he just wanted to have a drink or two, but he didn't intend to drag anyone into bed.
Slightly drunk, he took a taxi home, his nerves paralyzed by alcohol made Qiao Mubai drowsy.Bloody coincidences are everywhere, Qiao Mubai and Fang Qihong got off the two taxis almost at the same time.
When they saw each other, both of them were taken aback for a moment, and Qiao Mubai regained consciousness after being blown by the night breeze, "How did you play today?"
"Are you going to drink?" Fang Qihong smelled the alcohol on Qiao Mubai's body along the wind. Apart from being more keen on black coffee, Qiao Mubai seldom touches alcohol and tobacco. The smell on him shows how much he drank.
"That's right, drink away your worries when you're broken in love." Qiao Mubai smiled wantonly, and he walked towards Fang Qihong, the smell of alcohol on Qiao Mubai's body lingered on the tip of Fang Qihong's nose.
The person in front of him was obviously joking, and he smiled relaxedly, and the inexplicable Fang Qihong read out a sense of sadness.
"Hey, why are you in a daze, let's go upstairs, I haven't seen Tony for several days." Qiao Mubai waved his hands in front of Fang Qihong's eyes, and walked in front of Fang Qihong humming with his hands behind his back.
"What are you singing?" Hearing Qiao Mubai's surprisingly good humming tune, Qiao Mubai clenched his hands in his pockets slightly, "Does it sound good? Then I'll sing it to you from the beginning."
"How to have a rainbow
How to embrace the summer wind
天上 的 星星 笑 地 的 人
总是 不 能 懂 不 觉得 足够
if i love your smile
how to collect how to own
if you're happy not for me
会 不 会 放手 其实 是 拥有
当 一 阵 风吹来 飞上 天空
Pray for you, bless and move
Finally your figure disappeared at the end of the crowd
Only to find that laughing and crying hurt the most
that day you and me that hill
Singing the song of that year like that
that kind of memory is enough
足够 我 天天 都 着 寂寞
当 一 阵 风吹来 飞上 天空
Pray for you, bless and move
Finally your figure disappeared at the end of the crowd
Only to find that laughing and crying hurt the most
当 一 阵 风吹来 飞上 天空
Pray for you, bless and move
Finally your figure disappeared at the end of the crowd
Only to find that laughing and crying hurt the most
if i love your smile
how to collect how to own
如果 你 快乐 再 不 为 我
会 不 会 放手 其实 是 拥有
知足 的 快乐 叫 忍受 心痛
The joy of contentment makes me endure heartache"
The magnetic voice sang a song that was bright but sad. He wanted to hold it tightly, but he had to let go. It wasn't because he didn't love anymore, but because he loved too deeply.
For a moment, Fang Qihong read the feeling of crying from Qiao Mubai's calm side face, and cried with a smile.
Qiao Mubai is just like this song, there is no complexity, he loves deeply, loves simply, and understands contentment more, he carefully maintains the friendship called love in the glass room.He integrated into Fang Qihong's life and gained those memorable memories.When the person Fang Qihong really loves appears, he will withdraw silently. He has never been confident in love, and he fights for it confidently, confidently thinking that Fang Qihong belongs to him.
Qiao Mubai guessed himself many times. He guessed that he was probably just a friend in Fang Qihong's heart, a good friend. After all, Fang Qihong had never forgotten that Suzhou girl for three years.
Qiao Mubai cherishes every minute and every second with Fang Qihong, he dare not expect too much.When the heroine appeared, it was time for him, the prince's guard, to leave.Qiao Mubai hated his reason to death.
The author has something to say:
Qiao Mubai sang the contentment of Mayday, a very nice song
Those who have watched single men and women should know that everyone in this movie has a representative song, just like Fang Qihong sang for Cheng Zixin.
