The year Xiang Huan met Cheng Ye, he was seventeen and a sophomore in high school alone in Lincheng.
My mother, Pan Ning, was doing border trade business in Marriage Town at the time. She had built a warehouse in the town and had little time to return to Lincheng.
Every winter and summer vacation, Xiang Huan goes to the town to spend the holidays.
During the summer vacation of the second year of high school, song and dance halls suddenly became popular in Marriage Town. Tickets for the most popular one were five yuan, and they were packed every day.
Although Lincheng has already had more fashionable and fun entertainment projects, Xiang Huan, who was focused on studying, had never been there.
So when I came to town, I was still curious when I saw the dance hall, but no one dared to go in.
Pan Ning rented a house in town. Only when Xiang Huan came here this time did he find out that his mother was living with a man, and the three of them wanted to live together.
Pan Ning's man this time was in his early thirties and not a local in the town. He met Pan Ning in the neighboring country Y.
Xiang Huan has been accustomed to the men who come around her mother since she was a child, and she basically doesn't like them all.
This time there was an exception.
She calls this man Uncle Cao, and they actually get along with him when chatting with him during meals, especially when they talk about Xiang Huan's favorite rock music.
After going back and forth, by the time there was not much left in the holiday, Xiang Huan was already looking forward to this man staying in her mother's life for a longer time.
If that incident hadn't happened later... Xiang Huan didn't dare to recall more, so he just skipped it.
The memory goes directly to the rainy night after that incident. Xiang Huan impulsively bought a ticket and entered the most popular song and dance hall, where he met Cheng Ye.
After that, she found out that Narino was still her neighbor, living at the end of the alley where she lived.
In a makeshift shed.
The first time Narino wanted to kiss her was in this shed.
Xiang Huan didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this. He finished recalling it and waited to hear what he had to say.
Narino was probably also recalling that he was silent for a while, staring at the dark construction site.
It wasn't until a car sped past them and Xiang Huan subconsciously dodged that he came to his senses.
"That shed is my first home in my life, even though it looks like a doghouse," Cheng Ye pulled Xiang Huan to a safer place.
He continued, "At that time, I was building walls and mopping the floor brick by brick, and you were still involved."
When Xiang Huan said this, he remembered more details, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
Cheng Ye hadn't remembered her smiling like this for a long time. He stared at her in a daze and almost forgot what he was going to say next.
"Recalling the past shows that people are getting older." Xiang Huan noticed that he was silent and said something to break the silence.
Narino chuckled.
"I just want to say that I had an ideal at that time. I hope that I can build a better house in the future and give you one..." He paused and said, "I just want to get into real estate development!"
After talking about it in such a big way, it turns out that this is the key point.
Xiang Huan has heard him talk about many ideas about his career in the past few days, so it is not surprising to hear this again.
However, she recalled one thing because of this. She remembered that Narino had indeed told her before entering that he had an ideal of building a good house.
At that time, there was no professional term for real estate development.
Many memories that have been buried deep in my heart are also being brought out tonight.
Xiang Huan remembered that he had said at that meeting that if Xiang Huan settled in any city in the future, he would go there and work hard in that city.
Work hard to build a good house and give her a home built with your own hands.
Xiang Huan raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes and quickly glanced at Chengye.
If nothing happens and he is not sentenced to jail, she believes that his wish will come true.
"Cheng Tianyu is ready to take over this project and let me practice with it."
Xiang Huan knew that Boss Cheng's group also had a real estate department, but he didn't expect him to take over this hot potato.
"Your mother is also going to participate. This is not as close as my aunt has been recently." Nareno mentioned Pan Ning, his tone clearly showing that he didn't want to see her.
When he said this, Xiang Huan also understood the real purpose of his mother's recent efforts on Cheng Hong.
She was used to it and it wasn't strange. She just felt that because of this, she might get involved with the Xu family again.
Then he thought of Xu Jiandong. They hadn't contacted each other for a while.
Chengye thought about it with her, "By the way, how is your ex-husband doing lately?"
"I haven't had any contact recently, so it should be fine. He's not involved in the family's business, so it won't be affected much."
Narino continued, "He is still working as a lookout at the forest farm in Marriage Town?"
"right."
Xiang Huan didn't want to talk more about this topic.
Chengye persisted and mentioned his plan to open a coffee shop back in town. He also said that when he went back, he wanted to get to know the second young master of the Xu family.
Xiang Huan looked at him incomprehensively, "Why do you know him? Do you really want to go back and open a coffee shop?"
He didn't just say he wanted to do real estate development.
Can this kind of style of doing things like a hammer and a stick do good business? If Mr. Cheng knew about it, he would probably have a headache.
Narino himself didn't think that the focus of the conversation had just shifted to opening a coffee shop.
He told Xiang Huan that he was not kidding, and he was going to take people to Marriage Town for an on-site inspection in the next two days.
The two returned to [Fu Huan].
Chengye drove his car and was about to leave. Before leaving, he said to Xiang Huan, "You should also arrange a time and come with me then."
Xiang Huan immediately said she couldn't go because there was a lot of things going on at the club and the furniture store, and she couldn't leave.
Narino fastened his seat belt, replied calmly that it was up to you, and started the car.
Only five days later, at the train ticket gate bound for Marriage Town, Xiang Huan still stood with Cheng Ye.
There is no direct flight there, and the high-speed rail only has this one trip every day. The rest is the green train that Xiang Huan took last time.
Xiang Huan never thought that his refusal would be useful, so he just tried it in the club that day.
Chengye didn't contact her for the next two days, nor did he openly ask her for any problems. Even the trouble in the club was quickly resolved.
Qu Xiaohua, who came back from Dawan, told her that the matter was settled quickly and that the family had helped.
Lawyer Qu also told her on the phone, "I think Cheng Ye is definitely interested in you. Xiang Huan, you are quite capable."
After temporarily passing the test at the club, Chengye's WeChat message came and he asked Xiang Huan for his ID number.
Xiang Huan asked him what he wanted to do.
"I'll help you book a train ticket to the town. You don't have any problem with your time."
Xiang Huan's face was ugly, but his WeChat reply was, "Let me handle such a small matter. I'll book the train ticket and give me your ID number."
Narino didn't refuse.
Just like that, Xiang Huan once again boarded the train to Marriage Town.
Along with them were Xiao Wu and two other people. Narino said they were professionals he had found.
When he was about to arrive at the station in two hours, Xiang Huan called Xu Jiandong.
