Xin Qing's rental house is in Brooklyn, and Huo Jinwei's high-end apartment is on the Upper East Side, just like the two were born, there is a world of difference.

After chatting last night, Lin Dingqiang and Huo Jinwei became speechless after getting on the plane.

Each of them has their own agenda.

Lin Dingqiang thought about how to greet Xin Qing when he saw him for the first time.

Is it to say that I am here, or to say that I have not seen you for a long time.

And Huo Jinwei also had the same troubles, looking forward to the whole way, thinking about the journey, but when she was about to meet, the anxiety in her heart came up.

The rhetoric on the Seine has long since disappeared at this moment, and she still has no confidence in her heart in the face of her former best friend.

Challenger 850 sent the two of them safely to Newark Liberty International Airport, and after getting off the plane, Huo Jinwei said slowly: "Ding Qiang, I booked a hotel for you tonight, and I will send you over to check in when the time comes." ”

When she came to a place with Xin Qing, Huo Jinwei's fiery reined in a lot, arranged accommodation in advance, and did not ask Lin Dingqiang to live in her apartment.

"Okay, thank you. ”

Huo Jinwei took a deep breath, "Later, let's go to Xin Qing first, and then have a meal together." ”

"So fast?" Lin Ding panicked, "Why don't I ask her first." ”

Huo Jinwei laughed, she took out her mobile phone to find the chat history with Xin Qing, Xin Qing, who couldn't cook, prepared a dinner for the two of them in the rental house, although they were all processed from quick-frozen food, but it was also a piece of heart.

"She's pretty much done. Huo Jinwei urged: "Let's go, the car has arrived." ”

After leaving the terminal, the two got on a black and white Maybach and went straight to Brooklyn.

The goose-yellow Brooklyn Bridge connects Manhattan and Brooklyn, and the sunset glows on the deck. Along with the Empire State Building and the former twin towers of the World Trade Center, the bridge has long been a landmark in New York and has been the setting for many American dramas and movies.

After crossing the bridge and driving for five or six minutes, Maybach stopped in front of a red-brick house. The streets are fairly clean, except that from time to time a few black people can be seen drinking beer on the side of the street.

Lin Dingqiang didn't discriminate against this group of people, but when he saw such a scene, he was still a little worried about Xin Qing's safety on weekdays.

As soon as the extravagant and high-profile Maybach stopped, it attracted the scrutiny of pedestrians, plus two Asian faces got out of the car, and someone still made a defiant whistle.

Fortunately, Huo Jinwei was prepared, and after the white bodyguard who was more than two meters tall stood next to the car and put one hand in the pocket of his suit, this whistle was slightly relieved.

Lin Dingqiang stood downstairs and looked, the windows of the house where Xin Qing lived were closed, Huo Jinwei stepped forward and rang the doorbell of the iron door on the ground floor, and a beeping sound came from the intercom.

After about five or six sounds, Lin Dingqiang finally heard the still gentle voice in the cold machine.

“hi。 ”

"Xin Qing, we're here. Huo Jinwei smiled and said, "Open the door quickly!"

Xin Qing was stunned for a second, and her tone became brisk, "Okay." ”

Click.

The lock of the iron door was opened, Huo Jinwei walked in front, and Lin Dingqiang followed.

Xin Qing's room is on the third floor, the elevator lights are a little dim, and there is a smell of alcohol inside, it seems that Xin Qing's life here is not as comfortable as she imagined.

Bite.

The elevator stopped, and when you turned right out of the elevator door, you could see a hidden door. The door was made of wood, and there seemed to be no security to protect the woman behind it, except for the small keyhole on it.

However, the two smelled the fragrance of curry, Huo Jinwei opened the door and said hello, "Are you still busy?"

Lin Dingqiang followed suit, and he tried his best to open his eyes wide, wanting to see that familiar figure.

"You're here so early!" Xin Qing wore an apron and a home dress, the slippers on her feet were as cute as ever, and the head of the balls was still tied up with chopsticks.

She held a packet of oatmeal and waffles that only needed to be heated in her hands, and she had a smile on her face when she saw Huo Jinwei.

"Yes, we took off first. Huo Jinwei replied, "Where do you change your shoes?"

Xin Qing smiled and said, "No, just come in." ”

Huo Jinwei looked back at Lin Dingqiang and found that he was hiding behind the door, only revealing one eye, "What are you doing!

Lin Ding cleared his throat, "No, I see that this door is going to be changed, and there are a few termites." ”

After speaking, Lin Dingqiang appeared at the door, he looked at Xin Qing five or six steps away, and countless words were blocked in his throat.

Xin Qing tilted her head, showed a sweet smile, and said happily: "Lao Lin." ”

"Do you want to help?" This was the first sentence Lin Dingqiang and Xin Qing said when they met for the first time after being separated for so long.

Xin Qing shook her head, "No, you and Jinwei will sit first, and we will be able to eat later." ”

The two entered the house, and Lin Dingqiang looked at Xin Qing's living environment.

The whole house is not badly lit, you can see the Brooklyn Bridge just passed through the living room window, and there is no sofa in the formal sense in the living room, only a lazy sofa on the ground, and a small bar with whiskey and wine glasses on the side of the sofa.

Looking at the back, it is Xin Qing's bedroom. In addition to the dressing table, there is a simple wardrobe with a single bed next to it.

"What's wrong?" Huo Jinwei sat on the only sofa and looked at Lin Dingqiang with a smile, "I didn't expect your little princess's life here to be so difficult?"

Compared with Palm Springs, where the two once lived, Xin Qing's current conditions are indeed not good, but they are also a hundred times better than most people living in this city.

"The house is a bit small. Lin Dingqiang said truthfully.

——————

"Lao Lin, can you help me go to the mailbox downstairs to get the courier?" Xin Qing shouted in the kitchen, "305." ”

Lin Dingqiang responded: "Okay." ”

With that, he went out the door and got on the old elevator again.

There were only two people left in the room, Xin Qing and Huo Jinwei, the two didn't talk at first, Xin Qing was still cooking dinner in the kitchen with the microwave, and Huo Jinwei looked at the sunset outside the window.

The silence lasted for about a few dozen seconds, but Huo Jinwei still stood up, came to the kitchen, took a salad dressing, and asked, "Is it squeezed on this pot of cabbage?"

Xin Qing nodded, "Yes." I love to eat. ”

Huo Jinwei slowly squeezed the salad dressing, she didn't look directly into Xin Qing's eyes, and said, "Ding Qiang and I have been to many places, and we have encountered a lot of funny things. ”

Xin Qing stroked her hair and opened the waffle, "What did you encounter?"

"When he was in Xiongguo, Ding Qiang was wronged by the local police and was arrested in the police station. Huo Jinwei said unhurriedly.

Xin Qing didn't know about this matter, after Lin Dingqiang's accident, Huo Jinwei didn't choose to tell her about it, but she didn't expect Xin Qing to be stunned after hearing Huo Jinwei's words, and asked, "He didn't suffer anything, right?"

"Not really. Huo Jinwei replied: "He was very happy all the way." ”

Xin Qing put down the waffle in her hand and looked up at Huo Jinwei, "Thank you for taking care of Lao Lin along the way." ”

Huo Jinwei also put down the salad dressing, and the eyes of the two met at this moment, and she said calmly: "This is what I should do, and this is what I want to do." ”

Xin Qing smiled: "I've always wondered who will come to snatch this man from me, I imagined that I have met many opponents, such as Wei Jinghan or Ouyang Ya, but what I never expected was that the final opponent would be you." ”

"Ding Qiang is an excellent man, and there will naturally be no shortage of women around him. Huo Jinwei said calmly: "You should know that when you choose to let go, there will naturally be other people to make up for this vacancy." ”

Xin Qing didn't get angry after hearing Huo Jinwei's words, but she became more and more calm, "Of course I know this, but you're quite interesting." ”

"What's wrong with me?" Huo Jinwei asked deliberately.

"You specially took Lao Lin to the De Florent Cafe, right?" Xin Qing asked slowly, "After I saw Lao Lin's photo, I understood your intentions. ”

"That's why you don't like the comments?" Huo Jinwei laughed, "That's right, I took him there on purpose." I just want to see how you react. ”

Xin Qing turned around and put the waffles in the microwave, "I know what you want. ”

"I said I could give him everything I had and accept everything from him. Huo Jinwei said calmly: "I am a divorced woman, although I have not tasted the taste of forbidden fruit, but I also know what men want." ”

Xin Qing was silent for a while, and Huo Jinwei continued: "I know that Ding Qiang still has you in his heart, although he didn't say anything along the way, but after I tried it several times, I had no way to escape this reality." ”

When Xin Qing heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and Huo Jinwei continued: "So I just want to try this method, but it's not feasible." Because I know he doesn't understand why he chose that one of the thousands of cafes in Bali, and you should understand what I mean. ”

Xin Qing smiled and said, "I knew it when I looked at the positioning." But I think it's a bit hard to accept that if you want to separate people in half. ”

Huo Jinwei frowned slightly, "Then you don't agree with my idea?"

"I'm sorry, Jinwei. Xin Qing said frankly: "I don't think I can share this unique love with you." ”

"Then why did you choose to leave in the first place?" Huo Jinwei asked.

Xin Qing propped herself on the small table and said in a low voice: "All along, Lao Lin has been very good to me. From the first time we met, from the first date, he took good care of me. This made me feel extremely happy, and when I got pregnant, everyone pinned their hopes and blessings on me, but in the end it was a dream. I feel like I've failed everyone, especially Lao Lin. Everything he did for me, I will never forget in my life. ”

Xin Qing was a little choked up when she said this, "After the accident, I was on the verge of collapse, I wanted to escape from that familiar city, I wanted to avoid those earnest and caring eyes and greetings, I just wanted to be alone and quiet, and find the self with goals and ideals again from the muddy days." ”

"So you wrote that letter?" Huo Jinwei asked.

Xin Qing nodded, "Sure enough, Lao Lin showed you." ”

"Then you don't have to start with Dear Jhon!" Huo Jinwei was puzzled.

Xin Qing was stunned for a second, then she understood, walked to the locker, took out an iron box, searched for it for a long time, and then handed Huo Jinwei a business card.

This business card was originally used by Lin Dingqiang when he was working in Hengsheng, and in addition to Lin Dingqiang's Chinese name on it, Jhon Lin's English name was written below.

After Huo Jinwei saw this business card, she was stunned, when she was on the top floor of Rongshan Building, Lin Dingqiang once said that her English name was really John. Huo Jinwei thought that this was Lin Dingqiang's self-consolation in order not to give up, but she didn't expect that he really wasn't lying.

It's strange that whether it is Huo Jinwei or Li Jianhu or Li Lan, after seeing this letter, they over-interpreted it out of their own understanding, which made this letter a farewell book.

Xin Qing smiled: "Blame me for being hypocritical at the time, otherwise there would be no such misunderstandings." ”

Huo Jinwei took the business card, thought for a while, and said, "It was all because of your hypocrisy at that time, which made me understand my own mind." ”

"Jinwei, do you really want to rob me?" Xin Qing asked.

Huo Jinwei smiled calmly: "Xin Qing, I never wanted to grab anything from you, I just fought for it." I like Ding Qiang, I can't lie to myself. ”

Xin Qing smiled slightly: "I'm afraid it's not just about liking." The video of the two of you performing at Sheila's embassy has been uploaded to YouTube like crazy, and I think anyone with a discerning eye can see that you don't like him, but love him. ”

Huo Jinwei lowered her head, pondered for a moment, then raised it proudly again, and said calmly: "Yes, I love him." ”

Xin Qing smiled slightly: "Okay, let's see if Lao Lin will choose the love myth of Sartre and Beauvoir in the end, or the promise that Pu Wei is as tough as silk and has no transfer in the stone." ”

"Xin Qing, what did you buy?" Lin Dingqiang returned to the door at this time, he held a heavy box of couriers, and asked, "What is the smell of cured meat?"

Xin Qing poked her head, "I asked my mother to send it some time ago, and it contains sausages and glutinous rice chicken made by my mother." I don't know if the logistics have been bad for so long. ”

Lin Dingqiang put down the package and looked at the two people standing in the kitchen, judging from Huo Jinwei's expression, he knew that the two had already had an exchange before he left.

Xin Qing walked out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "It's Christmas the day after tomorrow, let's celebrate in advance tonight." Jinwei, did you say so?"

Huo Jinwei came to Xin Qing's side with her head held high, and looked at Lin Dingqiang with a smile, "Yes, celebrate and celebrate the reunion of the three of us after a long absence." Ding Qiang, go to the kitchen to serve food. ”

Lin Ding rolled his throat, he thought it would be a century war, but he didn't expect that Xin Huo and the two would be so calm after they met, there was not even a trace of waves on the surface, just like two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they could still talk and laugh together.

His heart became more and more bottomless at the moment, and he walked stiffly towards the kitchen, thinking, "Is this the calm before the storm?"
