Chapter 69: The Gift
Needless to say, emotional privacy is always the safest handle.
Lan Zheng was like a dog whose tail was caught, and hurriedly said for mercy.
"Hey, you little Lanzi...... Okay, I'm afraid of you, okay? Don't worry, I promised you, but when did I not do it?"
"So he accepted it?"
"Accepted. But at first, he refused, and then your letter worked. This kid has a temper like you said. The dough was wrapped in a hard stone, and if he was not happy, he could break people's big teeth. Such a person is the living Wei Yan, and there is a backbone in the back of his head......"
"What are you doing, what are you doing. Talk nonsense. People call it backbone......"
"What do you mean? I haven't seen you boast so much. Lan Lan, tell me the truth, do you mean that to him? Don't lie to me, I can't explain to my parents when I go back. Let me tell you, our family must not have a son-in-law like 'Gogarin'. I can work for him, and I can take it again. ”
"No, of course not. Elder brother. Look at you, what are you wondering about? It's all about it. I won't tell you, I'll hang ......"
The more the brother and sister teased, the more anxious they became, and Lan Lan blushed from what her brother said.
If you get upset, you have to end the conversation.
But unexpectedly, Lan Zheng's next sentence hooked her again, and even made her heart skip a beat.
"Don't hang up, wait, I almost forgot to tell you, that Ning Weimin gave you a gift in order to express his gratitude, and asked me to pass it on to you. You just don't want to know what it is?......"
"What? And he gave me a gift......? You're going to take it?"
"Accepted. Hey, it's not anything valuable, it's just a painting. It's just a souvenir. ”
"Ah, a painting?"
"Yes, an orchid painted by Xu Beihong. The size is not too large. The inscription is particularly ...... Wait, I'll open it for you. ”
Lan Zheng said and went to unfold the scroll.
Then he cleared his throat again, and then he read it.
"It's like being in a deep valley. All beings are greedy and disturbed, and there is no resonance. ”
"How about it? This sycophant is enough, right? He's quite literary, this is a metaphor for painting, and he will hold you up to the sky. ”
"You said he had a lot of ideas and a quick brain, and now I believe it. I don't think this kid is mixed in officialdom, it's a waste. ”
"But then again, the more that's the case, the less he's suitable for you. People like this don't have a family, they can reach up and down, and they still have so many scheming. How dangerous it is to be and how dangerous it is. This is the kind of person that our dad is most afraid of you meeting. You don't have any thoughts about him, that's good. ”
"You have to remember to promise your family, you don't want anything until you get into college. Don't let your parents ...... again."
Lan Zheng was still talking, but Lan Lan was already impatient on the other side of the phone.
"Brother, why are you so old like this, are you bored? You put the painting away for me, go back and ask for it." ”
After a few words of anger, Lan Lan really hung up the phone this time.
But to be honest, even she didn't know what was wrong with her.
The old man didn't come to his senses for a long time, so he stood in place as if he was enchanted, and couldn't help but still ponder the inscription on the painting.
Especially when she heard her brother read a few words just now, her heart seemed to have something strange spewing out.
She faintly tasted a particularly precious and intimate ...... Agitated.
At the same time, I feel that my thinking, emotions, and judgment are all disturbed.
Not for anything else, just because such literary language is often semantically ambiguous.
How to understand it, several layers of meaning, all lie in people's own subjective consciousness.
And her feelings are not as simple as her brother Lan Zheng, she will think more.
Indeed, Ning Weimin has the meaning of using paintings as metaphors.
In order to express his gratitude, he praised her for a beautiful orchid, which is as noble as Hua.
But at the same time, is this also a metaphor for status?
Is Ning Weimin lamenting that the fate of the two has ended, and they will go their separate ways in the future, and gradually drift apart?
Are you saying that she is an orchid in a deep valley, and it is really difficult for her to touch?
Or just the other way around, Ning Weimin told her that she wouldn't be alone.
He's expressing another possibility......
It's messed up, Lan Lan's mind is all in chaos.
She had no idea when she was back in her room.
I couldn't do anything anymore, and my heart continued to be uneasy.
I walked to the window and looked out of the window, which was getting darker and darker, and had been hung with a crescent moon.
This girl who has always been full of sunshine, hard to have sorrow, and almost doesn't know what to cry for.
I actually experienced a kind of Lin Daiyu-style spirituality and sadness.
............
In this world, is there anything else that scares Ning Weimin?
Will there still be times when he can't make up his mind and has a lot of worries?
It seems that there is.
Like today, Lan Lan's letter and Lan Zheng's words have caused such an effect on Ning Weimin.
It can even be said to be a kind of concussion.
In Ning Weimin's eyes, Lan Lan, this girl is simply incredible.
Obviously, I haven't known him for a long time, and I haven't had much contact, and he is young, and he doesn't have much of a city.
But he knows his heart better than everyone he has ever come into contact with, and he is the one who can really see through him.
Such a quality seems to be a powerful attraction.
couldn't help but make Ning Weimin feel cordial, moved, and excited about her.
even longed to see her again, to be happy, to talk more.
But at the same time, it also made Ning Weimin feel an unspeakable threat.
Because he has always regarded emotions as meaningless burdens.
Thinking that thing can only make him weak, sluggish, and indecisive, will put him at a disadvantage in business.
In particular, the relationship between men and women is the most likely to cause major economic losses.
pinning his emotions on a girl, in his opinion, is probably the stupidest thing in the world.
He never thought, let alone believe, that he would throb for an inexplicable reason.
I am faintly looking forward to starting a vulgar romance.
Such a self is strange and frightens him.
He was afraid of losing control, afraid that he would not be sure of the outcome and all the emotional concerns it would bring.
Yes, he genuinely hoped that Lan Lan could get better and get the happiness she deserved.
Because he thanked the girl for the good times he had had.
But the objective reality of everything points to an illusion in his heart.
Lan Lan shouldn't be his favorite type at all.
Both of them have a deep convergence of ideas and goals.
Even the family environment is very different.
Then there was an indescribable sadness in his heart.
He was acutely aware that he seemed to have stumbled upon something precious that he had never had.
But I had to give up and throw it away.
Because he believes that it is better to lose than to gain.
