687. Chapter 687: Unified Opinion (Part 3)
After Qi Lei said this, Mu Yuchen immediately remembered what he had explained to Li Si this morning.
"Okay, the samples you sent are here too. Let's take a look at them later."
Mu Yuchen just said this, then put the dishes handed over by Su Chen aside, opened the buttons and rolled up his sleeves, and began to help Su Chen cut the vegetables. Chicken soup was already simmering on the stove beside him.
Qi Lei stood aside a little helplessly. Seeing the two brothers in front of him working skillfully, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't expect that these two men could actually cook. He knew that Mu Mu could cook before. He was already surprised when Yu Chen met. Now looking at Su Chen, he looks like a resolute and upright man. He doesn't want to...
Qi Lei looked at it for a long time, then had no choice but to shrug and silently exit the kitchen.
In the living room, Xi Xiaye was leaning on the sofa and watching TV. When she saw Qi Lei coming, she looked towards him, thought for a moment, didn't say anything, and then turned to look at the TV screen.
Qi Lei lowered his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and whispered, "I'm sorry about Miss Su Nan..."
He said this without looking up at her. He just silently took the water handed over by Sister Wang and took a symbolic sip.
"Those things have nothing to do with you. Every injustice has its owner, and you don't need to apologize to me. The people who were hurt are Su Nan and Ruan Heng... I hope you can tell Miss Gu when you go back and let her think clearly before speaking. So as not to burden others.”
Xi Xiaye said, turning her head to look at him, thinking for a while, and then continued, "I know you have been worried about Ruan Heng these days, thank you."
Qi Lei suddenly smiled and clenched the cup in his hand, "When did you become so polite? What's more, this is the only thing I can do."
Having said this, he suddenly raised his eyes, met Xi Xiaye's indifferent eyes, and took a shallow breath, "What? Aren't you curious about my relationship with Shasha?"
Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows as she listened, and said with some confusion, "What's the relationship? Isn't she the one you like?"
Qi Lei lowered his head and took a sip, with a hint of sadness between his brows. His eyes suddenly became a little misty, as if he was reminiscing about distant memories. He sighed softly and said, "You girls all like flowers, right? Especially eight. A nine-year-old girl..."
"Um?"
Xi Xiaye looked at Qi Lei with some confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.
"When he was ten years old, a little boy accidentally broke a violet that a little girl wanted to give to her mother. The little girl cried very sadly, but the little girl did not blame the little boy and even apologized to the little boy for letting the violets go. The petals of the flower stained the little boy's white shirt. Later, they became friends, went to school together, and grew up together. The little boy said he would always protect the little girl, but when he grew up, he realized that at that age, how could he know What is forever?"
Qi Lei smiled awkwardly. His eyes were a little dazed, "I always thought that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or even longer, would be forever. I longed for my childhood sweetheart dream, but I was never the protagonist. I always thought that the memories buried deep in my heart would never be there no matter what. It should be innocent, but I have forgotten that many things will deteriorate as time goes by. I don’t want to go into it, but I am worried that I will not be able to keep the last trace of beauty. "
Seeing the sadness on his brows, Xi Xiaye thought for a while and said lightly, "My memory is also very shabby, but the past is just the past. How do you know that you will not live a colorful life in the future?" ? As I am now, I feel that the past does not seem to matter anymore. Mr. Mu said something to me, and I am willing to share it with you-"
Qi Lei listened and looked at her intently. Seeing the light smile on her face, he couldn't help but be deeply affected in his heart. His handsome face also softened, and the corner of his mouth raised a faint arc, waiting for her to continue. Go on.
"We cannot control the past or the future. The only thing we can control is the present, today."
Xi Xiaye's calm tone faintly reached his ears. Listening to it, Qi Lei couldn't help but be startled...
After a moment of silence, Qi Lei laughed and said, "Why do I hear that you seem to regard Mu Yuchen as the object of your admiration? How about mutual encouragement?"
"He has the capital to make me admire him. Mr. Qi thinks that apart from the so-called respect for each other as guests and mutual support, what is more important to a husband and wife?"
Seeing a little bit of interest in Qi Lei's eyes, Xi Xiaye suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and asked in a low voice.
Qi Lei raised his handsome eyebrows and thought about it seriously before shrugging and making a gesture to Xi Xiaye, "May Madam Mu give me some advice!"
Xi Xiaye also bent down to pour a glass of water, but Qi Lei on the side moved even faster, crossed his long arm, poured a glass neatly, and then handed it over in a gentlemanly manner, not as frivolous as before. For a moment, he seemed to have the air of a handsome young man from a noble family.
"Thanks."
Xi Xiaye said politely, took it, took a sip, and then continued, "Many women hope that their future husband will be their close friend, mentor and friend, like a father and brother, who can play many roles at the same time. A role. This is probably what many women dream of, and vice versa. However, how can you meet such a person? No matter whether you can meet him or not, the first thing to do is to break your own self-importance..."
"Do you want to break your own complacency?"
Qi Lei thought in a low voice.
Xi Xiaye nodded gently, looking at Qi Lei with clear eyes, but her tone was full of sighs, "Before, Mu Yuchen told me that he could always see his shadow in me, and his state of mind was somewhat similar to mine. And, think about it, I also see my shadow in you. Mr. Qi, didn't you realize that our experiences are actually somewhat similar?"
After Xi Xiaye finished speaking, Qi Lei was suddenly a little stunned, looking up at her silently, not knowing what he could say, and Xi Xiaye continued, "Mu Yuchen feels the same way about you as I do, and we have reached a consensus. Because of this, we can empathize more, and he and I have the same opinion about you. He said that he actually admires you. I am very happy that we have the same opinion, and I hope that you and our husband and wife can become good friends in addition to being partners."
The light and peaceful tone was full of sincerity, which made Qi Lei feel inexplicably moved and warm in his heart...
