Lin Wan, who has been busy designing plans for the north of the city recently, often turns day and night upside down, and she is a lot haggard.

Today is Chen Xue's first banquet after their marriage, and she went to the bathroom after work to make up her makeup, wanting to cover the dark circles caused by staying up late in the past few days.

Due to time constraints, the locker room was on another floor, so she simply changed her clothes directly in the toilet.

"It's not fair, it's obvious that Sister Sun has been following up, why did it become Lin Wan to be responsible?"

There was a sound of a girl talking outside.

Listen carefully to the members of Lin Wan's group, Yang Lili, the daughter of the company's director, who came to work purely for fun. She seems to be fighting for Sun Qian's project this time.

The corners of Lin Wan's mouth hooked up a smile, this Yang Lili is really interesting.

It turned out that she didn't know that Yang Lili, who slandered and ridiculed Sun Qian in front of her, would have a day of grievances for the object of slander.

"She's really talented in design. Sun Qian's faint voice came.

"I can't tell you to go and give her a hand. Isn't it the project team's business to make bids?" Compared with Sun Qian's calmness, Yang Lili seemed a lot more excited.

"Maybe I've been following up on this project before, and my boss thinks I know better. ”

In my opinion, she must not know what wind is blowing in front of the president, this charming fox knows how to seduce people. I saw her coming out of the president's office that day, and her disheveled ......" Yang Lili's voice became sharp.

"Shhhhhhh......h......h

After it was quiet outside, Lin Wan pushed open the door and came out.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I was wearing a purple floral dress, my slightly curly hair was on my chest, and the dark circles under my eyes had been perfectly covered.

The reddish lip flap is coated with a light lip gloss and gently grinned......

Yang Lili, Sun Qian, these two people, interesting.

Lin Wan took a taxi directly to the International City after getting off work from the company.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Cheng Yu sitting in the crowd, wearing a well-made and well-tailored suit, laughing and talking with friends, sometimes lowering her eyelids, sometimes raising her eyebrows slightly, and occasionally opening the corners of her mouth, which can also make people breathe.

"Why didn't your boyfriend come?"

The person who spoke was Lin Wan's high school classmate Xiao Qi, and as soon as he saw Lin Wan appear, he came up and pulled her aside, and whispered in her ear.

Lin Wan met Xiaoqi's eyes inexplicably, "What boyfriend?"

"Still pretending to be with me. On the night of Chen Xue's wedding, the handsome guy who drove a luxury car to pick you up. ”

Lin Wan smiled.

Just as she wanted to explain, Xiao Qi's tentative eyes smashed into her heart with a cautious voice.

"But you hugged Cheng Yu in front of your boyfriend, and his face turned green......"

Lin Wan was stunned, and her throat was difficult to breathe as if it was being contained.

"I went to another small private room in the hotel to rest that day because I was too drunk, who knew that I fell asleep, and when I woke up, everyone was gone. ”

Coincidentally, at this moment, I saw Cheng Yu coming out of the bathroom, so I hitched a ride with him. Xiao Qi said while paying attention to the change in Lin Wan's expression, and seeing that her eyes did not change, he continued to speak.

"I was in the back seat when you refused to ride in his car, and before I could call you, the car sped away......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qi's face became ugly, "You also know Cheng Yu's famous iceberg face, I was like sitting on pins and needles in the car, and I regretted it to death." ”

"But after a few minutes, he quickly turned around and stopped not far away to watch you......"

Lin Wan didn't speak, and her curved willow eyebrows frowned slightly.

After a long time, he said lightly, "He's about to get married." ”

"Are you willing?" Xiao Qi was puzzled, why the two people who loved each other so much were separated like this.

"At first, I was very unwilling, and I didn't understand why I left like this. But later, he was slowly relieved, and he always had his reasons. ”

"Then you don't want to know why?"

"That doesn't matter anymore. Whatever the reason, he eventually gave up on me. ”

Xiao Qi saw a touch of sadness under Lin Wan's indifferent eyes, although it was very fast, she caught it.

She had no choice but to divert the subject, "We were just looking at your old photo albums, there are a lot of photos I haven't seen before, and your elementary school ones." Let's go, let's take a look. ”

At this time, Lin Wan found that Chen Xue was sitting on the other side, carefully flipping through the photo album in her hand.

The slightly curly long hair is draped over her chest, and the jujube red close-fitting dress perfectly highlights the curves of her figure, and she is casually draped in a khaki shawl, sexy and glamorous.

They walked up to Chen Xue, and Chen Xue raised her head at this time, her slender Danfeng's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and her face was slightly haggard.

After seeing the person clearly, he stretched his eyebrows for a moment.

She took Lin Wan's hand and said with a smile, "Here, sit down, we were just looking at old photos." ”

The cold touch made Lin Wan shiver, and she sat down next to Chen Xue, "Why are your hands so cold?

"It's okay, I haven't had a good rest lately. Chen Xue smiled, "Xiaoqi, where did we just see." Chen Xue said and pulled Xiaoqi to sit down on the other side.

"This, on your fifth birthday, hahaha, why is Lin Wan so short......"

Lin Wan smiled helplessly, in her life of more than 10 years, she heard the most about being small, short, and small......

She didn't know why other girls had almost developed in junior high school, and she was still a bean sprout in her first year of high school, and she didn't start to soar until her second year of high school.

That will be ridiculed for whether it was stolen and eaten pig feed was matured, and it grew five or six centimeters when it came back from a holiday.

Lin Wan is a typical scientology, according to biology, her father is 180, her mother is 168, she can't grow tall.

She had always believed that she was just a little later than others, but she didn't expect that day to be so many years late.

"Lin Wan's elementary school hasn't changed much from junior high school, her height is about the same, hahahaha!" Xiao Qi's laughter came from his ears again.

Seeing Chen Xue covering her mouth and smiling on the side, Lin Wan was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, she ignored them anymore and flipped through another photo album in front of her alone.

"Lin Wan, you can, someone has a crush in the third or fourth grade of primary school. Who's this little brat?"

Lin Wan raised her eyes and looked at the photo that Xiao Qi said, the photo was taken at the gate of the former community compound.

In the photo, Lin Wan and Chen Xue are about six or seven years old, standing on the stone bench in the courtyard in a flower skirt and playing, and a thin little boy next to them is staring at her stupidly.

"Isn't this Aunt Jiang's nephew? What's your name, Jiangnan? Jiang Nan? Aren't you still her little daughter-in-law? Chen Xue joked with a smile.

Lin Wan couldn't remember how long she hadn't heard this name, it had been so long that she had almost forgotten that there was such a little boy when she was a child, and she spent that dark time with her.

That was the time that Lin Wan didn't want to think about the most.

She didn't know why her loving parents would suddenly blush and quarrel in front of her.

She didn't know why her father slammed the door so angrily.

She didn't know how to comfort her sad and crying mother.

She didn't know if there would be no more fathers in the future......

She hid in the closet of her room, her small body curled up, and the darkness in front of her, like her world, suddenly collapsed, leaving only endless fear to envelop her.

Bad luck.

Soon after, she contracted measles, a highly contagious pediatric respiratory disease.

She burned in a daze for two days, her mother had been in front of her hospital bed, she didn't see her father, looking at her mother crying silently because of self-blame, she didn't dare to ask about her father again.

The doctor said that after the fever subsides, the rash will slowly appear all over the body, and the rash will subside naturally in about a week, do not go out, do not blow the wind, isolate at home, and the rash must not be scratched, otherwise it will leave a scar.

After the fever subsided, her mother took her home and quarantined.

The next day, a dense red rash began to appear on her face, slowly spreading from her torso to her limbs, and finally there was no good place on her body, which was extremely itchy.

For Kobayashi Wan, this period was the darkest years in her childhood memories.

She wore a long-sleeved shirt in the sweltering August weather, couldn't blow a fan, and the rash on her body was unbearable.

The laughter of the children playing in the courtyard outside the door stimulates her sensitive nerves at all times.

Gradually, the rash on her body slowly receded, and her face was white again.

When Xiao Lin Wan ran out to play with her friends with her mother's consent, they avoided her like a plague, and even Xiao Chen Xue looked a little scared when she saw her.

They ran away, pointing at her and saying she had a contagion.

She was so sad that she ran home and sat at the door of the stairs and cried.

That was the saddest cry she had ever cried since she grew up, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and sadness during this time.

In the midst of tears, she saw a little boy standing in front of her, short, half a head shorter than her, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and his hair was withered and somewhat malnourished.

Xiao Lin Wan knew that this was a relative of Aunt Jiang's neighbor, and she had been here for a while, and she always followed her.

Once after being frightened by Chen Xue, he didn't dare to follow anymore, but sometimes he would still see him standing far away, looking at her quietly.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" she said, wiping her face with her hand and choking up, a few tears still stained on her long eyelashes.

"Don't be afraid ......" the immature voice sounded.

"Why do you always follow me?" Lin Wan gradually stopped sobbing, she wondered why this little boy always followed her.

"Like Mom, you're a lot like Mom. He looked at her quietly for a long time before he made a thin sound.

"What about your mother?"

"My mom went far away......"

"And what about your dad?"

The little boy stopped talking, lowered his head for a long time, "I don't have a father. ”

Kobayashi suddenly thought of herself, she hadn't seen her father for a long time, and even her father didn't come back when she was sick.

Thinking that she might not have a father in the future, she stood up and said to the little boy in front of her, "I will protect you from bullying you in the future." ”

The little boy raised his head suddenly, he didn't speak, just looked at Lin Wan quietly, his clear and transparent eyes flashed with faint tears.

Just when she thought he didn't agree, she heard a firm voice, "I'm older than you, I'm my brother, I'll protect you!"

"Huh......" Lin Wan laughed suddenly, the pear vortex at the corner of her mouth was deep, "You are older than me, not as tall as me." ”

"I'll be taller than you in the future, auntie said, boys grow slowly!" The little boy's ruddy mouth on the opposite side opened a large arc, revealing white and neat teeth.

In fact, it is not that he is slow to grow, but that he is not in good health, coupled with stunting caused by long-term malnutrition.

"Do what you say, hang yourself with a hook, and you won't change for a hundred years. ”

Two tiny fingers hooked together.

When it was time to separate, Lin Wan suddenly thought of something, so she stopped him, "Hey, I don't know what your name is?"

The little boy was stunned for a moment, smiled and said, "Jiang Nan, my name is Jiang Nan." ”

So in that summer, Xiao Lin Wan became good friends with this little boy named Jiang Nan, and they could be seen playing everywhere, and the laughter like silver bells spread in the compound.

On a sunny afternoon, Lin Wan brought a half-cut mosquito net from home as a veil, Jiang Nan used a ring woven from dog tail grass, and under the witness of other friends in the yard, the two held a wedding like a family.

"Wanwan, my little bride. ”

Since then, Lin Wan has become Jiang Nan's unforgettable little bride in her life.

But he left after all.

"My dad came to pick me up, and I might have to go to another city far away. ”

Lin Wan looked up not far away, the noble and elegant uncle standing next to the car was his father, it was so good!

"Congratulations, you finally have a dad. Lin Wan looked at the smile in the corner of his eyes and was sincerely happy for him, but when she thought that the two were going to separate, she was still a little reluctant.

"Trust me, your dad will be back too. ”

Xiao Lin Wan looked at his departing back, and her eyes flashed with tears.

What echoed in his ears was what he had just said, "Wanwan, you are my little bride, you wait for me, I will come back to you, definitely!"

Later, as Jiang Nan said, her father came back on a rainy afternoon.

Lin Ye had just come back from participating in the special rectification activities of the city's public security system, opened the door, and looked at the beautiful wife's gradually emaciated figure and the well-behaved daughter sitting beside him, and his always calm and restrained face was a little moved.

He took off his police hat, grabbed his slightly stunned wife, wiped away her tears with his hands, hugged her slender waist branch tightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Yueling, I have always been the only one with you, I have been and will be ...... in the future."

Lu Yueling burst into tears in an instant, she hugged him back, she chose to believe the man in front of her.

Xiao Lin Wan saw her parents hugging each other in the small fingers that covered her face, and the sun hit their bodies, swinging out circles of light.

She knew that her dad was back and her world was bright again.

But the boy named Jiang Nan, the only glimmer that brought her in that dark time, never appeared again.

......

"Let's go, let's eat. What do you think about so fascinatingly? Xiao Qi interrupted her memories, pulled her up, and walked towards the restaurant.

At the dinner table, everyone was unsurprisingly talking about the past, who had a crush on whom, who did the troubles, and who was with whom......

Lin Wan listened quietly, occasionally smiling lightly, and the pear vortex at the corner of her mouth appeared from time to time.

Raising his head inadvertently, his breath stagnant, he crashed into a pair of dark and deep eyes, and quickly looked away.

"Alas, do you remember the basketball league in the sophomore year of high school? Cheng Yu made a three-point reversal directly after a steal in the last few seconds, so handsome!" Someone suddenly spoke loudly.

"But I still think he was the most handsome when he walked towards Lin Wan that day, hehe. Xiao Qi said with a wink at Lin Wan.

No one expected that Xiaoqi would suddenly make a joke between the two, everyone looked at each other, and the scene was a little embarrassing.

No one spoke again, and the only thing left for the restaurant was the sound of chopsticks clapping bowls and swallowing food.

Cheng Yu and Lin Wan basically knew about the things they had played well with, but no one knew how they separated after going to college, and no one dared to inquire about it, for fear of accidentally stepping on thunder, Cheng Yu's coldness was famous.

So everyone tacitly did not take Xiao Qi's words and ridiculed, and remained silent collectively.

"Xiaoqi, come, this cup is full, I respect you. ”

The person opposite Lin Wan spoke, breaking the silence of the room.

A deep voice resounded in the quiet dining room, and it shook the heartstrings.

Lin Wan's hand holding the chopsticks couldn't help but pause.

Even if she was mentally prepared before she came, she guessed that it would inevitably talk about the past more or less, but when she was named, Lin Wan's heart still trembled inexplicably.

I thought that after so many years, I could already do it without care, and I thought that if I didn't listen to the news about him, time would dilute everything.

Seven years is not a long time, but it is enough to blur a person's appearance and voice.

But strangely, she still remembers clearly-

The sky was blue that day, the sun was very big, and after winning, he walked towards her with a basketball against the light.

The sun hit his body, gilding him with a halo, and the fine bangs were wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead.

He lowered his head slightly, grinned the corners of his mouth, and said to her with a smile, "Lin Wan, I won!"

Memories came to her in a flood of momentum, instantly overwhelming her.

She stood up suddenly and poured a small glass of white wine, "I salute everyone with this cup, I still have something to do, I'll leave first, we'll meet next time!"

After speaking, he raised his head and took a sip of the small glass of white wine.

"Lin Wan, it's not you. It's hard for us to get together once, and you have to leave early. Li Zhongyi, the male host of this party, leaned back on the chair and put his hand on the back of Chen Xue's chair next to him, looking like she was not allowed to leave.

"I'll just say play, don't be angry. Xiao Qi's originally joking face also became nervous.

"Xiaoqi, I'm not angry with you, my company is really in trouble. Lin Wan smiled and patted Xiaoqi's arm, but a thin layer of sweat floated slightly in her palms as calmly.

"Otherwise, if you drink the cup of liquor in front of you, you will agree to let you go. Li Zhongyi pointed to the wine cup in front of her and smiled evilly.

Lin Wan looked down at the wine cup in front of her, her fingers shrunk, and a wine cup was about 6 taels of liquor.

"Don't make a fuss, Zhongyi!" A deep voice came from the other side, and it slammed into her chest like a subwoofer.

Lin Wan didn't take Li Zhongyi's embarrassment to heart from the beginning, and she couldn't have known him for so many years that his spoofs made her bad.

But somehow, after hearing Cheng Yu's voice, she became inexplicably irritable in her heart.

Why did he Cheng Yu help her speak.

In what capacity did he stop Li Zhongyi from deliberately making things difficult for her.

She raised her eyes to meet those dark eyes, the deep eyes were bottomless, and the slightly nervous look looked particularly ridiculous in her eyes.

She kept a proper smile and took a sip of the white wine.

"Alas, Lin Wan, I'm joking with you, why did you really drink it!" Li Zhongyi didn't expect Lin Wan to really drink, he stood up a little anxiously and wanted to stop it.

Lin Wan put down the wine cup, picked up the bag, and still smiled indifferently, "It's okay, Zhongyi, I have a good amount of wine." I'll go first, Xiaoxue, Xiaoqi, we'll make an appointment next time!" After picking up his bag and greeting everyone, he left.

As soon as Lin Wan stepped out of the elevator, a gust of cold wind poured into her neck, and the wine came up at once.

Consciousness gradually becomes blurred.

Lin Wan squatted at the gate of the International City Community, watching a car pass in front of her, she thought, why didn't anyone stop to take me like a sunken fish and a goose, beautiful as a little fairy? Why did they ignore me? Even the taxis were against me, what did I do wrong?

She never thought that the image of a lady she had established in front of outsiders would collapse overnight, and if she knew that she would now sit on the ground like a fool and scold at a passing car, she would definitely not impulsively drink that cup of liquor.

Finally, under her scolding, a car stopped, not only stopped, but also opened the car door and walked towards her, not only walked towards her, this person also looked a little good-looking, not only a little good-looking, but also a little familiar.

The familiar and good-looking handsome guy squatted down and held her face with both hands, and in her deep eyes was that she couldn't read complex emotions.

The cold touch made her subconsciously shrink her head, and then the tears fell in large pieces.

She heard him say, "Xiaowan, I still lost to you in the end. ”
