Extra four: A person's alluring time
(a)
The sky is clear.
Even when the sunlight shines on the ground, I think it's beautiful to be fine.
But on his coffee table, there is always an invitation, a very beautifully made invitation.
The color of bright red makes people feel very dazzling.
Qiao Yu pushed the invitation aside with some irritation.
"Brother Qiao. The assistant handed over a bottle of water.
"Thank you. Qiao Yu lowered his head and took it, and tilted his head back a little tiredly, "How long has it been now?"
The assistant looked at the time: "It's already twelve o'clock, is Brother Qiao going to take a nap?"
Qiao Yu shook his head, as if he didn't quite understand what he was going to do.
In fact, there are some things that are obviously clear from the beginning, why can't I let go?
He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't seem to want to.
It seems that in this way, you can have more contact with her.
Qiao Yu sighed: "Recently, has Ning Nuan received any scripts? TV or movies?"
The assistant shook his head: "Now she doesn't seem to be filming anymore, she has opened a studio by herself, as if she plans to be an artist herself." ”
"Aren't you taking the show?" Qiao Yu smiled, a little sad, "Then is there still a shortage of artists in her studio?"
"The contract I signed with the crown is about to expire, do you ask her if she would like to contact me?" Qiao Yu smiled, hesitated again and again, but still picked up the invitation.
After saying that, there was some contempt in my heart that I all knew.
The assistant slurred for a while, but did not speak.
Qiao Yu pinched the bridge of his nose: "I'm kidding you, the crown is very good to me, how could I be willing to abandon my old club." ”
He pointed to the hat on the side: "Help me get it, let's talk about renewing the contract." ”
(b)
In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.
Snow fell again in City A.
The snow was thick and covered the entire yard, and when Qiao Yu stepped on it, there was a creak.
He looked up at the sky, five years seemed to be a long time.
is long enough for the little girl in Jiang Ningnuan's studio to win the title of actress and enter the world.
also grew to the shadow of a capable person, in his heart, took root and sprouted, and then went deep into the bone marrow, unable to give up.
The assistant ran out of the room and handed over the phone: "Brother Qiao, your mother's phone." ”
Qiao Yu took it and shouted, "Mom." ”
And there was no more sound.
After a half-ring, he put down his phone and turned around to look: "My mother asked me to go back for the New Year, and I don't have any work this year, so let's take a holiday, I'll just go home alone." ”
Returned home.
There were hot meals and kind greetings from parents.
This is also the life he used to dream of, so that his parents no longer have to run around for a living, but now he is starting to be greedy.
He wanted more than that.
There are also wives and children hot kang heads.
The mother washed the fruit and came out and pushed it in front of him: "Son, do you have a suitable girl recently?"
"If you have the right one, you can take it home, any kind of girl, as long as you like it. ”
"I'm busy with work, so I don't have time to talk about it. This is also the excuse he has always shirked.
"You can't just care about work, now we don't have to worry about food and clothing, and we don't have any great ideals, to become a multimillionaire, I just hope you can find someone who knows cold and hot. ”
Qiao Yu lowered his head and agreed indiscriminately.
He had always known his parents' wishes.
The children of their age are all in school, but he is the only one who is still single, and there is nothing.
It's not that I don't envy, it's just that I'd rather lack than abuse.
After the Chinese New Year, he flew back to City A.
He met the man at the airport.
She held her son and smiled.
He stood in the distance and smiled suddenly, thinking that this seemed to be fine.
I can watch her from a distance and watch over her.
(c)
The years are really unforgiving.
In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed.
People often say that the seven-year itch is there, but he doesn't feel it.
It seems that the man has grown into a towering tree in his heart, and no one can shake it.
He is forty-three years old this year, and he is really an old bachelor.
But he didn't care.
After the play, he went to shabu-shabu alone.
He remembered that she used to love hot pot too.
There is a line in a movie that says: "The deepest love I think is that after separation, I see myself living like you." ”
So over the years, he has traveled all over her circle of friends, every place she has been, and every scenery she has seen.
He used chopsticks to pick up the hairy belly to burn it.
A pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared in front of him: "What do you think?"
He looked up and saw a face that seduced all beings, with a demonic appearance.
It seems that after all these years, she is still the same.
A raised eyebrow and a curved lip are all kinds of styles.
"Why are you here?" Qiao Yu asked, and then continued to soaking his hot pot.
"It's pitiful to see you eating hot pot alone. Meng Xuanyi sat down opposite him, "So I decided to reluctantly accompany you to eat hot pot." ”
"You're also coming to film?" Qiao Yu took a few bites, and suddenly felt that it seemed good to have someone to accompany him.
"Yes, what a coincidence! Emperor Qiao, we starred in the same play, but this time it was you chasing me. Meng Xuan smiled.
Qiao Yu still smiled: "Yes, that's good." ”
Maybe two people who are also lonely.
The relationship between him and Meng Xuanyi gradually became closer, occasionally going to dinner together, drinking and drinking together, as if they regarded each other as a comfort to their souls, and nothing else.
She knew he had someone in his heart.
He knew that she had a financy outside.
Just feel like they're the same people to each other, in a way.
And they drank wine again that day.
Meng Xuan hooked his legs, leaned on the bar and laughed: "Qiao Yu, or let's live together." ”
"Anyway, life is very boring for one person, but two people are tasteful. ”
Qiao Yu shook his head.
"Don't!" Meng Xuan coquettishly, "Anyway, in your life, you won't like other girls, except for Ah Jue, I won't like other men anymore, it's better to make do with it, it's good to talk when you're old." ”
"There's a lot to talk to. Qiao Yu looked at her very seriously and said.
"But...... He won't let me have a baby!" Meng Xuan pouted, although he was over forty years old, he was still like a goblin.
But when Qiao Yu looked at it, he felt sparse and normal, and he didn't feel anything.
Meng Xuan was not convinced, and directly reached out and pressed the place, and suddenly smiled: "You are really guarding her like a jade!
"Ah Jue said, my body is a real gentle township, a hero's mound. ”
In this regard, Qiao Yu just shook his head: "You are not her." ”
"You think about it, we can do IVF, don't you want to have a child of your own?" Meng Xuanyi continued to laugh, "And it's good to have a companion for the elderly." ”
Qiao Yu still shook his head.
In this regard, Meng Xuan said a word: "I don't understand the customs." ”
Three months later, the play was finished.
As soon as Meng Xuan was leaving, he came to him again.
He was handed a note: "Oh, for you, call me if you have something." ”
"That thing, for a long time with me. ”
Qiao Yu clenched slowly: "Since you like him so much, why don't you fight for it?" but are willing to be a mistress. ”
"Because, their family won't allow me to enter the door, besides, he's married, if I go for it, won't I be a junior?"
"Then is there any difference between you and the junior now?"
"Yes. Meng Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The marriages of big families like theirs are all fake, do you think his wife will not know about my existence? Do you think that his wife will really stay at home honestly and not go anywhere?"
"I'll tell you a secret~" Meng Xuan approached him and padded his feet, "That little fresh meat that has been very popular recently is the little lover of Ah Jue's wife." ”
Qiao Yu frowned and did not speak.
After Meng Xuan smiled, he retreated: "Trust me, you will be able to use me." ”
At that time, he thought that Meng Xuanyi was just joking.
Unexpectedly, he really used it.
My parents are getting older, and their health is getting worse and worse.
His mother has been in the hospital several times because of coronary heart disease.
He knew that his parents' only wish in this life was to see him get married and have children.
When the hospital issued another critical illness notice, he understood that he no longer had the right to choose.
He stood outside the ward and called Meng Xuanyi.
Three hours later, the man arrived.
He saw his mother's smile of relief.
Under his mother's attentive gaze, he and Meng Xuan went to get a marriage certificate the next day.
After eating a glass of his daughter-in-law's wine, he went there in the early morning of the same day.
That day, it snowed again.
(iv)
After getting married, Meng Xuanyi often didn't go home at night, and all kinds of scandals were reported in turn, and he suppressed those scandals for her over and over again.
Later, they went for IVF.
In the spring of the third year, they had their first child.
He took the name, Arbor.
Meng Xuanyi did not object.
Qiao Yu officially started his career as a dad.
He took care of the children at home seriously, and pushed all the scripts cleanly.
After all, the money he earned in the early years was enough for him and his children to live a lifetime.
Later, as soon as Meng Xuan had enough, he also returned to the family and raised the children with him.
Like many couples, they began to go in and out together, going for walks to pick up the children and discussing household chores together.
They have gradually become a model couple in the mouth of the outside world.
They didn't fight once until they died.
He remembered that Qiao Mu once squatted in front of his hospital bed and said: I envy the relationship between him and his mother, because he has never blushed.
At that time, he thought Qiao Mu was really stupid.
If it is really a couple who love each other, how can they not be blushing, they will not be blushing, it will be much less fun between husband and wife.
Doesn't blush, just because I've never loved.
(5)
He couldn't remember how many years it was.
He's old.
He couldn't recognize the big changes in City A.
I could only vaguely listen to Qiao Mu talking to him.
It's just that when a building was exposed, there was still a poster from decades ago.
It's a wedding photo.
The girl above, smiling with crooked eyebrows, the happiness jumped on the top of the eyebrows, teaching people to feel happy when they saw it.
Qiao Mu turned back from the cab, looked at his father and said with a smile: "This is the Gu family couple, the golden wedding anniversary." ”
"Jiang Ningnuan is really beautiful. ”
He looked at it, smiled and nodded, Qiao Mu wanted to say something, but he saw his father cry all of a sudden.
Old tears are rampant.
I can't stop it.
Qiao Mu has been by his father's side for twenty-five years, and when he saw his father crying, he panicked and didn't know what to do.
On the way back, he died of a heart attack.
That night, Qiao Mu met the man who made his father cry.
It has been forty-two years since I met me when I was twenty-eight years old, and it has been 15,330 days and nights.
So many days and nights, all gathered together, are my own time and memories.
If there is an afterlife......
Ning Nuan, can you wait for me?
