CHAPTER XXIV
The balcony is connected to Lou Lihe's bedroom, and after entering the house, the two sit on the edge of the bed in the building and chat.
Ji Xinliang was anxious, "How did you come here?"
"I came on sick leave..."
"Are you sick?" Ji Xinliang looked Lou Lihe up and down, and found that her face was red, so that she didn't look sick.
"What disease do you say I have?" Lou Lihe stretched out his finger and pointed at the tip of Ji Xinliang's nose: "Lovesickness, so I can only come to my attending doctor..."
Ji Xinliang felt that he was going to be fainted by Tian at this moment, and said stumblingly: "Pear and..."
"What?"
In fact, Ji Xinliang didn't know why he wanted to shout Lou Lihe's name, he held Lou Lihe's hand tightly, trembling with excitement.
It was as if I saw the little kitten I had worked so hard to protect finally poke its head out from under the bed, and saw the surprise and satisfaction of it relying on its own coquettishness.
Ji Xinliang couldn't help but kiss Lou Lihe, and then leaned his head on her neck, "Thank you, Lou Lihe." ”
"Isn't it too early to say thank you now?" Lou Lihe couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this, "I haven't given you a name yet!"
Ji Xinliang reacted at this time, Lou Lihe said before that the household registration book is in her hometown, so isn't she in her hometown now?
"The household registration book is here?" asked Ji Xinliang.
As if playing a trick, Lou Lihe took out a dark red pamphlet from the side: "Seeing that you are so excited, I will reluctantly give you the household registration book." ”
After getting the household registration book, Ji Xinliang couldn't help but ask, "You just gave it to me?"
"Of course you'll give it to you, anyway, I'll be in your household registration book in the future, and this one won't be of much use. ”
Ji Xinliang opened the household registration book with a smile, and what caught his eye was Lou Lihe's father, the black and white photos left in the past, but it could be vaguely seen that he was a gentle man, with a slightly square face, very manly.
On the second page, it is Lou Lihe's mother, looking at the appearance, Lou Lihe's appearance has inherited more from her mother, soft and elegant.
"Your mother is beautiful. ”
"Of course," Lou Lihe said with a smile, "we are not from this place, we come from a more remote mountain, where there is my father's family, but it is both traditional and old-fashioned, my grandfather didn't like my mother at the beginning, but my father insisted on marrying, so my grandfather ticked his name from the family tree and typed out the family." After we got married, my father brought my mother to settle here, and then I came to me. ”
Lou Lihe continued: "Look, my father's name is Lou Yong, right?"
"That's right. ”
"But my father's name is actually Lou Xiaoming, but after he was expelled from the family, he changed his name himself. ”
"Uncle has a deep affection for his aunt. ”
Lou Lihe nodded: "It's a pity that my mother died early." After she died, my father pulled me to grow up alone, he was young and honest, and the people around him evaluated him very well, so someone introduced him to someone, but I didn't agree at that time, so he wronged himself for half his life and lived like this all the time. ”
"How did uncle and aunt go?" asked Ji Xinliang.
Lou Lihe said: "My mother didn't pay attention when she went out to buy vegetables, she had a car accident and was not saved, my father... It is a sudden intracerebral hemorrhage. ”
Ji Xinliang gently hugged Lou Lihe, "Then in two days, let's visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"Kick your nose in the face, that's what you're called? My parents haven't promised you to marry me. ”
"That's just a visit and kneeling down to beg for the consent of the second elder, anyway, I have confidence. ”
···
At night, of course, Ji Xinliang stayed at Lou Lihe's house, but Lou Lihe's room only had a small single bed, he was worried that Lou Lihe would not rest well, so he took the initiative to be on the sofa, in fact, he could go to Lou Yong's room to sleep, but Lou Lihe didn't have time to clean up.
Lying on the sofa, Ji Xinliang, who was satisfied, suddenly thought of something, if this is Lou Lihe's room, then the other empty room is not Ming Ke's room?
As soon as he thought of this, the curiosity he had suppressed in his heart in the past was about to move, the balcony of the old house was very close, he could jump over from the balcony as before, but it was impossible not to alarm Lou Lihe when he got to the balcony to pass through Lou Lihe's room.
In the end, it was still reason that prevailed over sensibility, and Ji Xinliang was still unwilling to disturb Lou Lihe's past.
If she wants to live in her dreams, then he is willing to accompany her to sleep quietly in her dreams.
···
After Rui Xiangchen came to Lingbei, he didn't immediately look for Du Xinyan, because he needed to have a simple meeting with the director of the company he was connected to.
But as soon as the work schedule was over, he immediately appeared in front of Du Xinyan and picked her up from work, but was told that she needed to wait a while during the operation, and Rui Xiangchen had long been used to it, so he waited on the side.
After seeing the polite Rui Xiangchen, everyone couldn't help but sigh that the two flowers of neurosurgery were picked one after the other.
Three hours later, Du Xinyan came out, looking tired.
Rui Xiangchen, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up unhurriedly, waiting for Du Xinyan to slowly approach.
"Xiangchen?" Du Xinyan apologized as he took off his surgical gown, "Wait until I wash my hands and explain something, and then we'll go." ”
"It's okay, you take your time. ”
After Du Xinyan was changed, Rui Xiangchen drove Du Xinyan to dinner.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Steak it. ”
···
While eating, Rui Xiangchen asked, "Xin Yan, have you ever been to see Ming Ke when you came here?"
Of course not, Du Xinyan didn't have the courage to appear in front of Ming Ke at all, even though he had died.
Du Xinyan's silence was expected by Rui Xiangchen, he took out a note from the hidden pocket of his coat and pushed it in front of Du Xinyan: "This is what I got from Mingxi before I came, if you want to go, I will accompany you, I also want to catch up with him when I say goodbye." ”
Du Xinyan hesitated for a long time before taking the note and looking at the address on it: "Jingxi City, Zening Township, No. 1 Cemetery." ”
Rui Xiangchen said: "Ming Xi said, this is a good place, with deep blessings, auspiciousness and tranquility. ”
"Really, if it's a good place, how could he be lonely for so many years?" Du Xinyan's eyes flashed with a hint of heartache, "After all these years, she probably never went to see him, right?"
Rui Xiangchen didn't answer, but said: "If you don't want to go, I'll go and see my old friend by myself, I have already booked the ticket, it will be tomorrow." ”
Du Xinyan heard Rui Xiangchen say this, he was a little unaccustomed, Rui Xiangchen had never treated himself like this in the past, and he seemed to be a little strong this time.
"I'll think about it. Du Xinyan said.
Rui Xiangchen said: "Xin Yan, in this world, not only Ming Ke will appear and disappear in your world like a meteor. ”
Du Xinyan hung his head and said, "I don't need you to teach. ”
···
In the evening, Du Xinyan thought about it and asked for leave from the hospital.
The next day, he and Rui Xiangchen got on the plane, transferred another car, and finally arrived at the address where Ming Ke once lived: "Xiaoweilou 503."
They had no intention of staying here, but at least they came to see, after all, Ming Ke stayed here for the last time of his life.
The key was brought by Rui Xiangchen, and the two opened the door and walked in, and the smell of dust and dust came to their faces.
Although the house here is old, it sits north and faces south, and it is very well ventilated, and in early summer, the house is still shady.
The living room is a simple furnishings, and it can be seen that the host has no guests, so there are a lot of drawing boards placed on both sides of the living room against the wall, and the coffee table is covered with paint boxes.
Probably the owner left in a hurry, and everything was still left in the old place, not cleaned up.
Du Xinyan involuntarily reached out and stroked the paints and paintings, tears one after another.
Rui Xiangchen's heart also became sour the moment he stepped into this room.
He came to Rui Xiangchen's bedroom, and unsurprisingly, there were many paintings here, but unlike the outside, whether it was color or line, it looked soft and gorgeous.
The easel stowed away by the bedroom door knew at a glance that it was placed on the balcony connected to the bedroom, which was Mingke's habit, and he liked to paint in a sunny place.
Rui Xiangchen saw that there were many paintings covered with cloth on the shelves next to the bed, and he thought that they must be Ming Ke's favorite and proudest works, otherwise he would not have preserved them so carefully.
He walked over and opened it gently, and was greeted by the bright smile of a young girl, a smile that was brighter than the brightest sunlight behind her.
There is no doubt that this is the girl Ming Ke loves the most, Rui Xiangchen thought, such a warm and dazzling person, no wonder it will make Ming Ke's heart move.
He flipped through the next one, one after the other.
It's all the same person.
Each one is smiling, one is brighter than the other, just like the summer sun appears earlier and brighter day by day.
This is a girl like a sunflower, and even Rui Xiangchen has to admit that such a girl is very charming.
When Rui Xiangchen opened these paintings, he heard the laughter next door, it seemed that a couple lived in it, such a thin wall, it was actually a bit hard for the quiet Ming Ke.
Putting the painting away and covering it, Rui Xiangchen came to the balcony, in a bright place, even sadness would hide, he took a few deep breaths, and when he turned his head, he saw a teenager on the balcony of 504 looking at him.
Rui Xiangchen was stunned, "Ji Xinliang?"
"Mr. Rui?"
Seeing each other, both of them were taken aback, the two had a meeting together before, so they naturally knew each other.
"Haven't you joined the group recently, is the filming location here?" asked Rui Xiangchen.
Ji Xinliang smiled and nodded, just as he wanted to say something, Lou Lihe in the house pounced: "Xinliang!
Rui Xiangchen looked at it squarely, his face was embarrassed, but after seeing Lou Li and Lou Li clearly, he felt inexplicably familiar, and just as he was about to identify himself, Du Xinyan also looked for him: "Xiangchen... You..."
The two girls naturally saw each other, and Du Xinyan looked at Lou Lihe hanging on Ji Xinliang's neck in disbelief: "You?!"
"Du Xinyan?" Lou Lihe was also surprised, she let go of Ji Xinliang's neck and looked at Rui Xiangchen and Du Xinyan.
Du Xinyan naturally remembered when she saw Lou Lihe, next door to Ming Ke's house was Lou Lihe's home, but she didn't expect that Lou Lihe, who had taken marriage leave, actually took Ji Xinliang to live next door to Ming Ke, which made Ming Ke embarrassed!
Du Xinyan couldn't help but sneer: "Young Master Ji is so interesting, there are so many scenic spots in the world, why do you bring your girlfriend to such a place?"
"I can go wherever I want, it's not your turn, but it's this poor country, how can Dr. Du be willing to condescend to come here?" Lou Li sneered.
Du Xinyan said coldly: "Since you forgot everything at that time, why did you still come here?"
"This is my house, why can't I come?"
"Yes, this is your home, but you haven't come back for ten years, why did you take Ji Xinliang with you as soon as you came back? I really said it right, you are shameless and ruthless!"
"You!" Lou Lihe was angry, she didn't know why Du Xinyan wanted to go against herself everywhere, and now she dared to insult herself in front of Ji Xinliang, it was really unbearable, Lou Lihe turned around and rushed out of the house, kicked open 503's house, rushed to the balcony and gave Du Xinyan a slap: "I warn you, I have always been able to move my hands and not move my mouth, and if you dare to slander me in front of my husband in the future, I will beat you to death!"
"Okay! That's right, anyway, you have more than one life in your hands, and it doesn't matter if you have one more of me, okay, you come, you think I'm afraid that you won't succeed!" Du Xinyan said sarcastically: "You actually brazenly stand in Ming Ke's house, saying that someone else is your husband, you are so powerful! Lou Lihe!"
Rui Xiangchen saw Lou Lihe make a move, so he immediately protected Du Xinyan behind him, Lou Lihe sneered when he saw this: "What Mingke? Don't talk about it over there, some don't have it, Ji Xinliang is my husband, I dare to say it no matter where I am!"
Ji Xinliang also rushed over at this time, and when he heard this sentence in his ears, his heartbeat was out of tune again.
But as soon as he thought that this was Ming Ke's home, he immediately pulled Lou Lihe away, "Lili will go with us." ”
"Wait," Du Xinyan suddenly said to stop, "Since you are in Ming Ke's house today, it's just right, I'll restore your memory!"
As he spoke, Du Xinyan pulled Lou Lihe and pushed her into the bedroom: "This is Ming Ke's home, he even buried his ashes here for you, you dare to say that you don't know him? Why did you forget him?"
Du Xinyan pulled Lou Lihe to the pile of paintings that were opened by Rui Xiangchen, "He remembered your appearance in his heart, how could you not even remember his name!"
"Get out of here!" Lou Lihe shook off Du Xinyan's clamps, took those paintings, and looked at them carefully, they were indeed her own appearance, but she sneered: "It's just a few paintings, what can it prove? Since I dare to forget him, I dare never remember him!"
"You! You really have no conscience!" Du Xinyan pointed at Lou Lihe's fingers and trembled, "Do you know how difficult it is for him to fall in love with you! How dare you forget him so much!"
"How can there be love at your fingertips in this world, how can he be especially cherished!" Lou Lihe looked at Du Xinyan, "What's more, in what capacity are you accusing me?
Du Xinyan wanted to say a lot, of course, but she couldn't.
Looking at Du Xinyan's dumb appearance, Lou Lihe sneered: "Du Xinyan, I'm not interested in this Ming Ke, please don't harass me for him!"
After speaking, she pulled the silent Ji Xinliang on the side and left.
Du Xinyan said in a trembling voice: "Xiangchen, if Ming Ke knew what she looked like, would he crawl out of the ground in anger?"
"Xin Yan, no matter how much you are upset about Ming Ke, he is gone, and Lou Lihe doesn't remember him at all, why are you doing this?"
"I can't bear it... I can't bear to let him be abandoned by Lou Lihe like this..." Du Xinyan's hatred spread in the bottom of his heart.
But Rui Xiangchen said, "Xin Yan, you actually know that, don't you?"
"Know what?"
"Actually, Lou Lihe is not wrong to do this, she just forgets a person who has passed, this is her right, this has nothing to do with you, isn't it? Because he doesn't love you for a long time. ”
Because he no longer loves, Du Xinyan has no position to even accuse.
···
Back at home, Lou Lihe sat on the sofa without saying a word, Ji Xinliang poured her a glass of water, and asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"
"It's very good!" Lou Lihe took a big sip, but Ji Xinliang saw the flicker in her eyes, as if she was bluffing.
Looking at her appearance, it seems that she doesn't think of anything, and she doesn't know whether to say Lou Li and cold, or whether to admit that she is indeed the world's leading hypnotist.
Ji Xinliang asked tentatively: "What they said Ming Ke, aren't you curious about who it is at all?"
"Ji Xinliang, don't mention this name in front of me in the future. Lou Lihe raised his head and looked at Ji Xinliang seriously, "I know very well that the people and things I forgot must be related to him, I knew it from the beginning, but I don't want to think about it, I also know that I can't think about it, if I really think about it, my life will definitely be turned upside down now, so, if you want to be with me, please make sure to keep this name away from me." ”
Lou Li and actually frightened, she squeezed Ji Xinliang's hand tightly, her eyes were full of pleading, Ji Xinliang felt the deepest uneasiness in Lou Lihe's heart at that moment, and she didn't see the momentum of the-for-tat confrontation with Du Xinyan just now.
"Don't be afraid, Riwa, I'm here. Ji Xinliang pulled Lou Lihe into his arms and comforted him softly.
