Chapter 9: Waiting and Returning (II)

A poet wrote this in her poem.

You said that the lights on the other side were what your heart wanted, and then the fishing boat sang at night, and the smoke and rain wandered.

You said that the begonias outside the curtain, the mandarin ducks in the Jinping, and then the courtyard was deep in spring, and the painting hall was close at hand.

You said that the beautiful scenery of a good day, you went alone, and then the red dust was purple and the snow fell too much.

You said that you were endowed with the Tang Dynasty, Sansheng Shishang, and later the monarch lived in Ziyou, and the concubine was in Heyang.

You said that the red sleeves were feigned, and the autumn waves were open and open, and then the eyebrows were long, and the spring was floating and Ruan Lang was gone.

Some people say that every time you part, it is for the next better encounter, because it is precious to meet again, so the next time you meet you, you have to become better and more outstanding, so that you can live up to the beauty, the time, and the youth.

We always look forward to a long time, but there is no tenderness in the world.

There are many choices in life, sometimes if we are not careful, we will choose a wrong path, we will be disappointed, we will regret, but looking back, who can guarantee that the other path is the right one? Mistakes cannot be avoided, we have to make a mistake before we can understand which mistake is more worth making. Life is the same, we will always make some of the craziest and most irrational decisions for the sake of inner attachment and emotion, and later, we will regret or be ashamed, but we will never regret it, which is willful in the eyes of others, in fact, it is the so-called maturity.

For example, many years later, at a joint press lawyer's conference, Zhang Wei was interviewed and asked, "Lawyer Zhang, you said that it only took you one year to go from failure to success, from poverty to prosperity, how did you do it?"

Zhang Wei smiled, faced the camera, and said sincerely and warmly, in fact, it's nothing, it's just because I have someone I like.

【Love Apartment-3602】

Yifei was intimately medicating Zhang Wei's face, and it could be seen that Zhang Wei's right side of his face had been swollen, nothing else, but the credit of a flash.

[Hu Yifei]: Don't move.

[Zhang Wei (gasp)]: It hurts, it hurts, Yifei, I'll do it myself.

[Lu Ziqiao]: Zhang Wei, you are really right, you don't tell us if you want to make wood carvings for Dali, which makes us nervous and think that you want to cut Dali.

【Curry Paste】: That's it, it scared me...... The is all divided.

[Zhao Haitang]: It is mitosis.

[Chen Meijia]: Besides, how can anyone use a kitchen knife to make wood carvings?

[Zhang Wei]: Didn't I just learn it in the past few days, I'm afraid that if I tell you, you will reveal it to Dali, so there will be no sense of surprise and mystery.

[Hu Yifei]: So, do you know that Dali is going to Berlin?

Zhang Wei nodded.

[Zhang Wei]: Before Dali went to school, she had talked to me, I already knew that she was going to Berlin, although I was a little sad, but I can't affect Dali's life because of my emotions, I have figured it out, I learned to do wood carving these days, just want to make a gift to Dali by myself.

[Lu Ziqiao]: Don't put gold on your face, you definitely don't want to spend money to buy it, so you can only do it yourself.

[Zhang Wei]: Who...... I'm a lawyer, a high-income group, I'm just ...... I just feel that the gifts I made with my own hands are more meaningful.

[Hu Yifei]: Oh?

The unbelieving gaze of the people.

[Zhang Wei]: What kind of eyes do you have?

[Zhao Haitang]: I really don't understand, Zhang Wei, you said that I am better than you in everything, why can't I do you?

[Chen Meijia]: Okay, okay, Zhang Wei finally made a gift by himself, so I believe him once, eh, what are you going to carve?

Zhang Wei snorted coldly, made a terrific expression, and then turned on his phone and posted a photo.

In the background of the photograph is the vast universe, in the bright galaxy, a dark purple centaur is bending its bow and arrows to point at a star in the distance, noble and atmospheric.

[Hu Yifei]: This is, Sagittarius?

[Zhao Haitang]: Really, isn't this a constellation of power?

[Lu Ziqiao]: There is progress, 80% of girls have a soft spot for their own exclusive constellations, woodcarved constellations, this idea is good.

[Zhang Wei]: How about it, do you say that you will be happy after seeing it?

[Chen Meijia]: Sure it must be and sure, it's done well, Zhang Wei.

[Zhao Haitang (suddenly indignant)]: Yes, send the constellation statue, why didn't I think of this trick in the first place!

[Lu Ziqiao]: So, Zhao Xiu'er, there is still a reason why you lost to Zhang Wei, Dali is not an ordinary girl, you must win by surprise, pickle girls pay attention to fast, accurate and ruthless, each kind of woman has different interests and hobbies, you have to prescribe the right medicine, you have to learn more from me, a senior.

[Zhao Haitang]: Brother Ziqiao, you are all a father, and you haven't lost your previous pickling techniques?

[Lu Ziqiao]: Just kidding, this is my ability to watch the family and eat, how can I lose it.

The crowd despised it.

Curry Sauce: But, Mr. Zhang, are you sure you can do it before you go?

[Hu Yifei]: Curry is right, with your current level of wood carving that we can all see, not to mention that before Dali leaves, you may not be able to do a good job when Dali comes back, and you won't let Dali walk with a wooden pimple when the time comes.

[Lu Ziqiao]: If you want me to say that you should go directly to a professional wood carver to make one, I am afraid that the plan will not be able to catch up with the change.

[Zhang Wei]: How expensive is that!

[Hu Yifei]: What?

[Zhang Wei (in a hurry)]: No, I mean, that... That's so boring, you don't have to worry, I also prepared Plan B.

[Chen Meijia]: What is Plan B? Hang it out to dry, I've heard that it will never be spread out.

[Zhang Wei (mysterious, whispered to everyone)]: In order to prepare gifts for Dali, I went to the antique market yesterday......

The camera turned.

【S City-Antique Street】

The antique market in S City, the lights are dark and lonely, it is obviously summer, but the atmosphere is cold and makes people shiver, most of the merchants or customers who come and go are walking with cloaks, no one greets others, revealing a mysterious atmosphere, just like the overturned alley in Harry Potter, revealing weirdness everywhere.

Zhang Wei stepped into this place, dressed in a suit, with a puzzled expression on his face, his dress looked incompatible with the atmosphere of the antique street, and the puzzled eyes of the people who came to him seemed to be looking at a fool.

A dazzling array of antiques, jade products, all kinds of treasures, utensils, antiques, etc. or imitation, or claiming to be ancestral things are hung out for sale, from China to foreign dynasties and generations, it is simply to see the eyes of the flowers, Zhang Wei even saw that not far from a stall, there is actually a Luoyang shovel for tomb robbery, tomb robbery is illegal in the 21st century, but fortunately, in the big movie with Wu Xie, the fat man, the stuffy oil bottle they went to the tomb once, more or less have some resistance to the things in front of him, these strange things may surprise him, but will not make him afraid, unless it is the worm in the movie crawling out of the tomb, otherwise the heavens and the earth will fall apart and the world will be destroyed, and it will not stop him from giving him the heart to buy gifts vigorously.

Zhang Wei was walking like this, scanning the high-end and cheap things with his eyes, when suddenly the shouting of an antique vendor next to him caught his attention.

[Huang Huifeng (shouting)]: Take a look at it, the family heirloom antiques have been wholesaled, the original price is 180,000, the current price is only 99, don't miss it when you pass by, 99 can't buy a loss, can't buy fooled, 99 can't buy anything, you poor people.

Zhang Wei walked in front of Huang Hui Feng's stall.

[Huang Huifeng (stretching out his hand to say hello)]: This poor ...... I'm sorry for the poem (meaning), I said it wrong, it should be this brother, look at you as a person who knows the goods, how about it, pick the things on my stall, guarantee that they are all treasures, fake one pays ten, Tong Su is not bullied.

[Zhang Wei (doubtful)]: Can antiques still be faked for one and pay ten?

[Huang Huifeng]: This is just an exaggeration, an exaggeration of the amount (that's it), but what I have here is definitely quality and quantity.

[Zhang Wei (talking to himself)]: Why does this sound so familiar, by the way, the last time I spent 20 yuan to buy a notebook with a retail price of 5 yuan, the owner of the store said the same thing.

[Huang Huifeng]: Qiaohuo (coincidence), definitely Qiaohuo (coincidence).

[Zhang Wei]: Forget it, do you have anything here that looks high-end, memorable, and affordable?

[Huang Huifeng]: Absolutely.

Saying that, Huang Huifeng picked up a wooden quaint box from the stall in front of him and handed it to Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei took it and opened it, in the wooden box the size of a shoebox, there were two broken bowl-shaped bone fragments, one large and one small, and the moment he saw this thing, Zhang Wei was so frightened that his whole body trembled three times, and with a move of both hands, the box was thrown at Huang Huifeng, and was caught by Huang Huifeng.

[Zhang Wei (surprised)]: What... What the hell, you're a skull?

[Huang Huifeng (whispered mysterious)]: Brother Tai, this is not an ordinary skull, this is the skull of Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, my Huang ancestor has an old relationship with Cao Cao, he gave the skull to my ancestors before he died, and it has been passed down to this day, the original price is 108,808, and the current price is only 998.

[Zhang Wei]: How can anyone give their skull to someone else, and it's only two pieces? You're outrageous, it's definitely fake.

[Huang Huifeng]: I'm X! You are a charlatan, we intellectuals have a temperance.

[Zhang Wei]: Stop, it's not that I don't believe you, it's mainly that I buy things for girls as gifts, where have you ever seen anyone give girls skulls?

Speaking of this, Zhang Wei looked around and saw that no one was close to this stall, so he stretched his head forward and approached Huang Huifeng.

[Zhang Wei (whispering)]: Besides, ninety-nine eight is too expensive, I don't have that much money, is there any... Cheaper.

[Huang Huifeng]: I see, don't worry, it's on me, you see, how about this!

Huang Huifeng picked up a picture scroll, unfolded it, and presented it in front of Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei's mouth widened in surprise, as if he had seen something incredible from the painting Huang Huifeng had taken out, and his eyes were full of surprise.

..................

【Love Apartment-3602】

In the huge 3602, Yifei, Ziqiao, Meijia, Zhao Haitang, and Curry Sauce looked at the painting Zhang Wei took out, their mouths widened, and then, everything was silent, only the sound of the apple in Curry Sauce's hand falling to the ground.

And Zhang Wei was showing the painting he bought from Huang Huifeng to everyone, with a proud look on his face.

[Zhang Wei]: How is it? My vision is good, isn't it shocking.

For a long time –

[Hu Yifei]: Wow oh -

[Lu Ziqiao]: Why do I seem to have seen this painting somewhere?

Master Huang said that this painting is the only one in the world, and it is a famous Italian painter...... Daphne's work, he was fated with me, so he sold it to me at a low price, how could you have seen it.

[Zhao Haitang]: Are you sure that the painting in your hand is genuine?

[Zhang Wei]: Of course, there can be no fake, I am a lawyer, and my vision is professional.

[Hu Yifei]: You idiot, this is the Mona Lisa, the real thing is displayed in the Louvre Museum, this painting in your hand is at best a two-and-a-half piece of stall goods, and you actually bought it back as a treasure.

[Everyone (smiling)]: Poof...... Hahahaha......

[Zhao Haitang (laughing fork)]: Zhang ...... Lawyer Zhang, it is worthy of you, you can actually find the Mona Lisa from the stall.

[Lu Ziqiao (laughs)]: It's Mona Lisa, I'm afraid you're called Mona Fool.

【Zhang Wei】: ??!!!

[Zhang Wei]: You... You're saying the painting is fake?

Yifei gave Zhang Wei a thumbs up.

[Chen Meijia]: Of course it's fake, I've seen it a long time ago.

Everyone looked at Mika.

Meijia suddenly restrained her expression, lowered her head and poked the two index fingers of her left hand and right hand, and muttered quietly.

[Chen Meijia]: People really see it.

Curry Sauce: I'll just say this painting looks familiar.

Ten minutes later......

Zhang Wei looked at the photo of the Mona Lisa smiling at the Louvre Museum on his mobile phone, crying heartbreakingly.

After calming down, Zhang Wei rolled up the picture scroll, and was about to go out to the antique street to find Huang Huifeng's theory, in Zhang Wei's words, this is the dignity of being a lawyer.

When he reached the door, it was opened first.

A vigorous man in a yellow sportswear walked in, and everyone who was laughing at Zhang Wei and bought a Mona Lisa a second ago instantly quieted down, and they all pricked up their ears like curious rabbits to listen to the conversation between the couple.

[Zhang Wei]: Dali, why are you back? Didn't you go back to school to pack your things and leave for Berlin in a few days?

[Zhuge Dali (softly)]: I was notified that the school's flight to Berlin has been rebooked.

[Zhang Wei]: Rebooking? So you don't leave? Oh, that's great.

[Zhuge Dali]: ......

[Zhuge Dali]: It's not that I won't go, but the flight has been rebooked this afternoon, I'm here to say goodbye to all of you, and this afternoon, I'm going to leave for Berlin.

Silence......

Ziqiao Meijia opened her mouth wide in surprise and looked at each other.

The apple of the curry sauce fell to the ground again.

Zhao Haitang looked at Dali in surprise.

Yifei crossed his hands and looked at Zhang Wei and Dali quietly.

【Zhang Wei】: ...... Yes?

——————————————

There is a line in the Legend of Sword and Fairy that goes like this.

No matter how sincere the feelings are, no matter how deep the concern, there will be a day of separation, and in the end, how can it be worth parting from life and death.

That's true, but even if it's ...... Even if we part tomorrow, I don't regret knowing you.

When you are alive, you must be happy, and when you die, you can have no regrets, if you are afraid of the future, you have to avoid the things of the present, then you will not be happy in life, what is the meaning.

Do you have no regrets in life and no regrets in death? I think we should really grasp the time of the moment, the time with the people we love.

【Love Apartment-3601-Vigorous Room】

After taking a last look at this familiar room, he vigorously lifted the suitcase, turned around and closed the door, but just ran into Zhang Wei who walked in, behind Zhang Wei, all the residents in the apartment were there, and the atmosphere was depressing and uncomfortable, as if it was back to the days when I just knew that the love apartment was demolished, and everyone's face did not have the usual smile, respectively, sometimes it is more painful than death.

[Zhuge Dali]: Thank you all for sending me, don't worry, I'm just going to be an exchange student for a year, a year is not too long, in the blink of an eye, I'll be back.

[Chen Meijia]: A year is not long, the last time I was separated from Ziqiao for a week, I couldn't stand it.

Yifei nudged Mika and motioned for her to shut up.

[Hu Yifei]: Okay, let's all be happy, Dali is going to study abroad, not going to the battlefield, it's like a memorial service, Zhang Wei, what about your Mona Lisa, don't take it out and give it to Dali.

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was much better for a while.

[Zhuge Dali]: What Mona Lisa?

[Zhang Wei]: No, Dali, don't listen to their nonsense.

Knock Knock Knock –

There was a knock on the door, and the curry sauce took the opportunity to open the door.

【Curry Paste (Surprise】: Applejack?

Applejack smiled at the curry sauce, as if remembering some unbearable memory, and shuddered, and turned her gaze away from the curry sauce.

[Applejack]: Lawyer Zhang, your courier.

Curry-chan just wants to say something to Applejack, but Applejack stuffs the package into Curry-chan's hand the next moment and runs away in a hurry, leaving Curry-chan with a helpless face.

[Lu Ziqiao]: Zhang Wei, what did you buy?

Zhang Wei didn't answer, just took the package from the curry sauce and opened it calmly, and inside the package, there was a photo framed with a beautiful photo frame.

The edge of the wooden photo frame is carved with dragons and phoenixes, the yellow frame is red, it is very good-looking, the background color of the photo in the frame is the blue sky and white clouds, Zhang Wei and Dali each grow a pair of white wings, like two angels, holding hands, flying into the distance, PS technology is very good, it is obviously a fake photo, with the photo frame and background color, it looks very harmonious, Zhang Wei took out the photo and gave it to Dali.

[Zhuge Dali (laughs)]: This photo is quite interesting.

[Zhao Haitang]: Flying stupid bird?

[Meijia Chen]: Don't talk nonsense, this is an angel.

[Zhang Wei (laughs)]: We don't have many memories either, so I can only ask someone to make this photo online and give it to you as a gift, hoping that when you study in Berlin, you will always remember that there is someone thinking about you in the love apartment.

Dali smiled, looked at Zhang Wei, then held the photo in his arms, and then opened his arms and hugged him, this was the first time, Dali took the initiative to hug Zhang Wei.

Ziqiao Meijia glanced at each other, Meijia took out a box and handed it to Dali, inside the box, there are photos of Xiaoxiaobu from birth to the present, art photos, and life photos.

[Lu Ziqiao]: Originally, I was going to buy you a necklace, earrings or something, but considering that you are going to study in Berlin and not a beauty pageant, I didn't buy it.

[Zhuge Dali (laughs)]: Thank you, uncle, I don't need those, it's enough to have these photos, looking at the cute little cloth can add motivation to my studies.

[Chen Meijia (to Lu Ziqiao)]: Look, I'll just say, Dali won't like those.

Curry Sauce smiled and pulled out a boxed disc.

[Curry Sauce]: Dali, I don't have anything to give, this disc is a cutscene, and the dubbing in it is all dubbed by myself, I hope you can like it.

[Hu Yifei (take out a book)]: Vigorously, this book of fighting and self-defense skills is given to you, I heard that there are a lot of foreign gangsters, once you learn this book, no matter what the gangsters, let them all fart.

Hehe......

Laughter......

Zhao Haitang didn't send his blessings, he walked away silently and went to the balcony of the apartment, everyone saw him and looked at each other, and finally Ziqiao stood up.

[Lu Ziqiao]: Don't worry, leave it to me.

Zhao Haitang exhaled deeply at the strange and familiar city, not knowing what he was thinking. Ziqiao walked over, patted him on the back, and said, "What, the beauty is going to a distant place, and you are not willing to be lonely?"

"Brother Ziqiao, why are you here. ”

"Isn't this worrying about you, Zhao Xiu'er, and still can't let go of your strength?"

"Of course, I've liked it for so long, how can I say that I can put it down. ”

Ziqiao and Zhao Haitang stood side by side, facing the night sky of the city, for a long time, Ziqiao said to Zhao Haitang.

[Lu Ziqiao]: Zhao Xiu'er, do you think you know Dali very well?

[Zhao Haitang]: Of course, I have been vigorously rejected more than 100 times, and the accumulated experience is enough to become a king.

[Lu Ziqiao]: Then the question is, since you think you know Dali very well, why did you pursue so many times without success?

[Zhao Haitang]: I ......

Zhao Haitang wanted to refute, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his mouth, his thoughts were complicated for a while, he had always been optimistic, cheerful and free, as if he would never be sad about him, and for the first time he questioned what he had done.

Yes, do you really understand Dali? Send a sea of flowers, send diamonds, send roses, are those things really what this girl wants? So, what does she want? Is it something she can't give? So why can Zhang Wei give it to her?

Zhao Haitang suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Wei who was laughing with Dali through the window of the balcony, for the first time, he felt that he couldn't see through this middle-aged man who always had a lewd expression, maybe just like Ziqiao said, this man does have his own things worth learning, and if he can't learn it for a day, he won't be mature for a day.

Zhao Haitang smiled, laughed at his own naivety, and looked back to think about it, everything he did before was extremely naïve, but that kind of road will not be taken again in the future, because it is a story that everyone has and has no plot.

[Lu Ziqiao]: All along, you have been pursuing Dali, creating all kinds of surprises for Dali, you always give her what you think is good, what you think is valuable, but you have never asked her what she wants, are you sure you really understand her? If you really love someone, you must be good for her wholeheartedly, and ...... Give her freedom.

Zhao Haitang nodded.

[Zhao Haitang]: Brother Ziqiao, thank you, I understand.

[Lu Ziqiao (patting Zhao Haitang on the shoulder)]: If you understand, go and say goodbye to Dali, everyone is waiting for you.

[Zhao Haitang]: Hmm.

..................

In the days of separation, in the love apartment, there was laughter.

At the same time, a taxi stopped at the entrance of the love apartment complex, and a man got out of the car, carrying a heavy suitcase, gray-headed, panting, and muttering "The current people are too unqualified, didn't I just rob that child's lollipop, fart is a big deal, his adult actually chased me for eight streets, who let his child say that I look like an alpaca, fortunately I got into a taxi quickly, otherwise my handsome face would be completely disfigured." ”

While talking, the man walked into the door of the community with his suitcase, as if he was extremely happy, he shouted with joy: "Love apartment, my Zeng Xiaoxian is back!"

[End of chapter]

——————————————

The author has something to say.

At first, I just wrote this novel with my love for the love apartment, but I didn't expect to make a lot of friends in the process, it was this TV series that made us meet, and it also allowed our youth to continue, because of school and daily life plus sometimes the idea is not clear, the reason for the inspiration jam makes my writing very slow, thank you for your support, this book will not be a eunuch.

There is also this book is just one of the many continuations of the love apartment, I have also seen the continuation of the works of several great gods, very level, I dare not say how good I wrote, but I used all my strength to write, I hope what I write is the ideal love apartment in my heart.

Also, you don't have to pick out the bug conflict between the book and the TV series, even if Director Wei comes to write, I don't dare to say that I can write it meticulously in full accordance with the logic of story development, after all, there are a thousand love apartments in the hearts of a thousand viewers, and everyone has a different understanding of this TV series.
