Chapter 14
Dai Xiaoqing said the word "Su Yuan" extremely mysteriously.
A cloudy and indistinguishable look floated on Lin Hui's face: "I heard that he was abroad, why did he come here?"
"They returned to China very early and opened their own company. The one who died to the east, you remember, the criminal investigation team of the Public Security Bureau, he was a sworn friend when he was studying with Su Yuan, he knew everything, but his mouth was ...... "Dai Xiaoqing "tsk" twice, and then said: "Death is tight, never mention Su Yuan half a word." “
"Xiangdong", how could Lin Hui not remember, I met once during the winter vacation of college one year, and since then I have cut off contact, and I don't know where I offended him, because of Su Yuan's relationship in high school, their relationship was originally very good, but that time, he glanced away like a stranger and walked away, ignoring her completely.
"Oh, is he okay?"
Dai Xiaoqing: "Hehe", "Your two lines are exactly the same." You know, he asked you the same thing, 'Is she okay?' what did you two do afterwards? Why didn't you get in touch with you so well? I thought you two would make it. “
Lin Hui glanced at Lu Cen Yi sensitively, "We are pure classmates and friendships, okay, don't mess around." “
"The ghost believes it, you said that you have nothing to do with him, how can no one contact anyone, you were so good at that time, I don't know how many men and women hated you. “
"You are hated, do you know why girls don't want to see you? The boys they like are staring at you, do you say you are hated?" Lin Hui used chopsticks to hold a fat bamboo clam, careful not to let the garlic and crushed pepper on it fall: "Come, open your mouth, this meat is tender and sweet." “
The chopsticks were all brought to his mouth, Dai Xiaoqing had to open his mouth, Lin Hui stared at his eyes and observed Dai Xiaoqing's expression without blinking: "Didn't I? The entrance is first a suitable garlic aroma, and then when you bite into it, the delicate meat is as sweet as bursting, and the aroma of garlic just neutralizes the fishy smell of the seafood, and that little bit of sweetness and spiciness, which makes the taste more layered and richer, isn't it?"
didn't wait for Dai Xiaoqing's answer, but Lu Cen clapped his hands and applauded, "Lin Hui, you are really a treasure, if I have the opportunity, I am willing to cook for you every day, and it is fortunate that those who like to eat must meet people who know how to eat." Just like Boya and Zi Period, in the world of eating, I serve Lin Hui and you as my Zhong Zi Period. “
"Could it be that you are also like Yu Boya, who died in the future, and broke the strings. Dai Xiaoqing teased.
"Can you speak, can you speak well, what is the death of a child?" Lu Cen Yi seemed to be very sensitive, and his eyes showed a fierce light.
Dai Xiaoqing is not a green onion to be messed with, how can Lu Cen scold like this, just said it, Lin Hui held it down, picked up the wine bottle on the table and said to Lu Cen Yi: "Oh, just make an analogy, come, come, I don't drink, I will drink a glass of wine with you." Lin Hui has never seen Lu Cen Yi like this, usually either a cynical hanger, or a love overflowing and amorous with nowhere to place.
Lu Cen ignored it, drank the wine in the cup by himself, then brushed away his angry face, and returned to his usual appearance: "If you drink, Rong Zeyu will destroy me, eat well, go home early, so as not to be followed by phone calls and annoying people to death." "The whole world knows that Rong Zeyu is very nervous about his wife.
The three of them parted unhappily, and when Lu Cen sent Lin Hui home, Lin Hui said that Lu Cen had just taken a joke seriously.
Lin Cen had a rare serious face, admitting that he was a little sensitive. Their family has a history of heart disease, and their father, mother, and brother all died early due to this disease, and they seem to have left him luck and hope, leaving him alone in this world, so he is quite afraid of the word "parting". Originally, he still had a younger sister, when he was seven years old, looking at the little girl who was pink, he poured all his childish love into her, but unfortunately she did not escape the doom of the family, and left before he reached the age of one, that was the first time he faced life and death, until now, as long as he thinks about it, he can still experience the heartbreak at that time.
Lin Hui couldn't help but think of her parents, and unconsciously shed tears, she held Lu Cen Yi's hand and choked up: "We are all orphans. “
"You know what? The first time I saw you in the ward, I had a very strange feeling that you were my sister growing up, and I had a special sense of intimacy, and I especially wanted to protect you, as if I was too young to protect my sister and let her go, and now that I am older, I have the strength to protect you. “
Lu Cen helped Lin Hui wipe away her tears: "Wait a minute, Rong Zeyu still thinks I'm bullying you." “
"Cut, I'm very angry, you were kind to me before, I thought it was my personality charm, I didn't think it was the shadow of replacing your sister. Lin Huiren never cried easily before, and he felt a little forgetful for a while, but now he was a little embarrassed when he was laughed at by Lu Cen.
"Haha, I have no conscience, I don't treat you as a shadow, I treat you as a living sister, whether you want it or not, you are my sister, you have no escape. The evil smile on Lu Cen's face was still there, but it was full of warmth.
Lin Hui's words changed, "What's the matter with you and Dai Xiaoqing, every time you meet, it's like an enemy in your previous life, and I have become a sandwich cake for the two of you." “
"I don't like her attitude towards you. “
"That's it?"
"What else could there be? She, the princess is sick, thinking that if she has a little look, the whole world will be centered on her. “
"It's as you say. In fact, she was very shy when she was studying before, not so strong, I had the best time with her when I was studying, and then I didn't have much contact when I went to college, until she opened a studio, and I got back in touch. “
"yes, you admit she's strong. “
"People have their own personalities, and in this world, they need to be the same while reserving differences, so that they can live more comfortably. “
"Quibble, you are a good person and mud, but I definitely can't see you being angry at all, much more uncomfortable than I am angry. “
"Thank you, people who don't know you will be deceived by your indifferent appearance, in fact, you are a very gentle and delicate person, you can always sense my little emotions and give me explanation, like my relatives, I am wondering if you are sent by my heavenly parents. Lin Hui said that she was emotional, somehow, she really didn't hide her softness in front of Lu Cen Yi, just like in front of her parents.
When he got home, Rong Zeyu came out of the study, looked at Lin Hui with a worried face, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ah, what's wrong?" Lin Hui was a little absent-minded by the name Dai Xiaoqing said.
"You have 'I have something on my mind' written on your face. “
"Haha, is there one?" Lin Hui hurriedly retracted and stopped thinking about those old things, "You said that Dai Xiaoqing and Lu Cen Yi were like enemies in their previous lives, and they quarreled as soon as they met." “
Dai Xiaoqing thinks she is beautiful, and everyone is going to revolve around her, but Lu Cen Yi is an outlier. “
"Haha, you have the same point of view as Lu Cen Yi, don't you understand, in fact, Dai Xiaoqing doesn't care about men?"
"You, you always think about people in a good way, and when the time comes, people will sell you, and see where you are crying. “
"I'm up to you. “
Rong Zeyu was amused: "Okay, you go to bed early at night, I want to go to bed later." With that, he went into the study. Lin Hui didn't know what time he saw when he read the book, or if it was all night, anyway, every day he woke up, the other side of the bed was always empty, and the kitchen was as always wafting out of the aroma of fireworks in the world.
It's been more than a week since the class reunion, and Su Yuan hasn't seen Lin Hui, or even her contact information.
Xiangdong didn't let Su Yuan live in a hotel, he had to be pulled to live at home, Xiangdong's son was more than a year old, he had just learned to speak, babbling and cute, the tiger's head and tiger brain were like a mini version of Xiangdong, the little guy was particularly interested in the strange Su Yuan, and he wanted his uncle to hug him at every turn, this sticky little guy made Su Yuan's heart shake a little if he was with Lin Hui...... He suddenly woke up and no longer thought that the marriage column in Lin Hui's message he got was married, and he shouldn't interfere with other people's lives.
Thinking of this, I didn't feel upset, if it weren't for this class reunion, would Lin Hui be buried deep in any corner of his heart, even in his memories, he would be cautious and detour, and no longer touch.
He decided to go back to the old place again, the mountains are high and the road is far away, just to see her again, now it seems that there is no need, as long as she is happy.
Unconsciously walked to the gate of the middle school, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, the campus was quiet, now the student does not have to go to the evening self-study, at that time he was so fond of evening self-study, after school at night they followed them, listening to them chirp like happy little birds, the wind would occasionally send a burst of shampoo fragrance from their hair. They walked on the same road at the same pace, not near or far, tacitly happy.
Standing on the iron fence at the school gate, you can see the basketball court, and it seems that nothing has changed.
The basketball coach approached him several times to want him to join the team, and he made it clear that he was not interested. After watching several games of the school team, the level is so low that he doesn't have any idea of joining the school team.
When passing by the basketball court, Su Yuan saw Lin Hui in the same class sitting alone in the high audience seat reading a book, a round of slanting sun softly inlaid Lin Hui's silhouette with golden light, her every movement in the golden light and shadow was like playing with Jin Hui wantonly, Su Yuan's pestle was a little obsessed there, and a crispy and soft throbbing rose in his heart, like a small insect teasing his youthful heart with tentacles.
Lin Hui seemed to sense that someone was looking at her, raised her head to look at him, and suddenly waved to him with a bright smile.
Su Yuan was embarrassed and panicked, and he didn't know how to place his hands, like a voyeur thief who had been caught, but instead of blaming, the master showed the greatest kindness to you.
Su Yuan's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he was about to raise his hand in response, when Dai Xiaoqing ran past him like a gust of wind, "Lin Hui."
Lin Hui was still beckoning, shining brilliantly, but it was just for Dai Xiaoqing. Su Yuan took a long breath, like a fugitive who had successfully escaped from prison, and hurriedly stepped on the way home with a relaxed pace and whistling.
After that, every time he finished his homework in the classroom after school, and then passed by the court, Lin Hui and the shy and good-looking Dai Xiaoqing could always be seen in the high audience. It seemed to be their after-school base.
"Young man, is there something wrong?" the old man guarding the door expressed obvious hostility towards Su Yuan, who was probing his brain.
Su Yuan suddenly returned to reality from his memories and blurted out "Uncle Liu". The old man looked at the young man in front of him and made it carefully, but he couldn't find any sign of recognition, "Who are you? I don't seem to know you." “
Su Yuan said with a smile: "There are so many students coming in and out of the school every day, how can you remember me, it's much easier for us to recognize you." Uncle Liu is a lot older, but he can still recognize it at a glance, and Su Yuan is so happy that he talks more.
Hearing that it was a former student, Uncle Liu politely invited Su Yuan into the communication room, and the two people who were very different in age warmly recalled the eventful years.
Rong Zeyu was going on a business trip to hold an academic seminar, and he didn't worry that Lin Hui was at home alone, so he simply entrusted it to Lu Cen Yi, so Lu Cen Yi successfully worked part-time as the Rong family's nanny for a few days.
Lin Hui is like a bird letting go of the wind, she is very happy, pulling Lu Cen to accompany her to eat snacks, go to the night market, swim in the night river, watch a series of movies, anyway, everything Lin Hui wants to do and Rong Zeyu doesn't let her do, she has fun.
Rong Zeyu's routine phone call is as accurate as his surgery, Lin Hui answered the phone very "obediently" at the same time every night, which is the time when she started to "do", today Lu Cen finished the rehearsal early, and cooked at home, after a gluttonous meal, Lin Hui said that she had indigestion and was going to swim in the night river.
Lu Cen is basically responsive to Lin Hui's needs, as long as he doesn't go out of line.
After some reminiscences, Su Yuan looked at the time, got up and said goodbye, he thought that older people sleep early, his grandmother has to sleep as soon as it gets dark, he is young and ignorant, he laughs at grandma if he is a chicken, he has to go into the cage to sleep as soon as it gets dark, and the few chickens raised by grandma are like this.
A light rain fell in the sky, and Su Yuan breathed hard into the moist air, it was so good, this southern night had been circulating in his dream for many years.
He walked aimlessly, no matter how light the rain was, it had been falling for a long time, and the hair on his forehead was a little wet and soft.
Cross the road and enter a narrow alley, where the dim street lamps drag his figure to the other end of the alley. I don't know that there is a babbling huqin sound from that house, a woman's slender voice sings with affection and sadness, Su Yuan only heard a sentence that there is an old lover living in it, and he is still waiting for a fool......
For a while, I didn't know what day and night, my nose was a little sour, so I walked out quickly, the end of the alley suddenly opened up, the two sides of the moat are no longer the lively and lively taverns, bars, there are quiet bars, and the door curtain window also makes every effort to make its characteristics stand out and attract the attention of guests. There are a few retro ones that attract him to have the urge to go in and sit, but tonight he prefers to swim in the Night River, and the boldest and most romantic thing he did with Lin Hui back then was probably to swim in the Night River.
When the boat arrived at the ferry, Lin Hui jumped down satisfied, they came early, there were no people, now is the time to be lively, the stalls and vendors have come out, the people on the boat have begun to increase, and the people on and off the boat are a little crowded.
As soon as Lu Cen turned around to find Lin Hui, he accidentally bumped into a man, and the two people who hit and were hit said "I'm sorry" at the same time, and looked at each other politely and smiled. Lu Cen has always been full of conceit about his appearance, but this man has made him have a kind of pearl and jade on the side, a strand of hair wet by the fine rain hangs down in front of his forehead, and the sculpted face reveals an unusual coldness although he is smiling, which makes people admire his appearance and fear his coldness and avoid it, dressed in linen casually worn on a tall man, casual and elegant, Lu Cen unconsciously looked at it a few more times......
Lin Hui jumped out with two ice cream cones: "What are you looking at?"
