Chapter 22: The Uninvited Guest
"Sister, there's no more wine...... Kevin said as he walked towards me.
"I'm not trying to drink, I'm just trying to get a good night's sleep. I self-deprecatingly grabbed the necklace around my neck and said, "It's like a roller coaster ride every day." ”
"Sister, in my opinion, that Yang Zhou is not as good as they say, just break up, don't be so sad. ”
"Do you think I'm sad because I broke up with Yang Zhou?" I smiled and looked at Kevin.
"Huh?"
"How did you learn this? When I heard him say my mantra, I wanted to laugh inexplicably, "I'm a kind of person, looking at the appearance of a woman from a good family, if you dress up, you can take it out to meet people." And I'm sensible...... I'll care about him, but I'm not going to step past his comfort. It's what he's doing out there, and as long as he doesn't want me to know, I won't ask. When he wants me to come close, I rush out to offer warmth, and I don't want him money...... Such a good candidate to be a wife, isn't it?"
After listening to my words, Kevin was silent for a while, and suddenly patted me on the head.
"What for?"
"I didn't expect you to see it so clearly, what about you?"
Kevin was expecting my answer, and I seemed to know why he was expecting it, but I didn't want to admit it.
"It's good that he gives me support and freedom. I kept my head down and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"Sister, Lu Lingxi, can I finish what I want to say this morning?" he propped up my head with a finger and looked me straight in the eye.
"I'm so sleepy, I'll sleep first......" I shied away from Kevin's eyes and stood up.
"Lu Lingxi, how can you pretend to be stupid?" Kevin raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes slightly curved, "Today, I must say." ”
I stood up, overwhelmed and ready to run, only to be grabbed by Kevin's arm.
"This morning, I want to tell you that I ......"
The sound of the key spinning interrupted the awkward atmosphere, and Lou Ye pushed the door in with three large boxes.
"You're back to Lou Ye, do you want to help?" I pushed Kevin's hand away and said hello to Lou Ye.
"Hmm. Kevin is on TV, can I not come back?"
"What are you talking about?" Kevin stepped forward to take the building's box.
"Am I not right? I made her look at you, and I didn't let her show you!"
Kevin threw the box on the ground, ignored it anymore, turned around and glared at Lou Ye and raised his voice: "She doesn't know anything, if you want to blame me, blame me!"
"I'm sorry Master Lou, I can return the money to you......"
Lou Ye put his palm at me and said, "Forget it, there's no need, thank you for this time." ”
After saying that, Lou Ye carried his luggage into the house, and Kevin followed him into the house.
I was still tossing and turning this night, and the things kept backlogging, and I was like a camel carrying a heavy load, and I always had a premonition that the last straw was still about to move. For Ah Cai's helplessness, for the school's anger, for Lou Ye's self-blame...... I don't know how long I thought about it before I fell asleep in agony.
In my sleep, I seemed to hear the argument between father and son.
When I woke up and listened carefully, I was indeed arguing: "Departure on Sunday, don't you want to go, together." ”
"So fast......?"
"It's enough for a round trip. ”
"Good ......"
Kevin's tone was getting weaker, and I couldn't hear what he was saying.
When he opened the door, he saw father and son sitting quietly at the stone table, both looking at their feet, and neither of them spoke.
"Sister, I got up early today. Kevin saw me come out and tried to squeeze a smile.
"I'm going to buy some groceries with my sister. Although Kevin said that he was asking for advice, what he could use was the tone of notification.
Before I could react, Kevin got up and stepped forward, pulled me up and left. I looked at Master Lou, he still lowered his head and didn't speak, his sideburns became more and more gray, he just waved his hand and acquiesced to us leaving.
"I haven't washed up yet...... Kevin didn't want to tell me, and just pulled me away.
"What, so suddenly. ”
"Sister...... I just suddenly remembered that I haven't taught you how to make lasagna yet......" He looked into the distance, I couldn't see his expression clearly, "And today I really want to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs you made, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat them in the future." ”
"Are you moving away?" I asked, apprehensively, not wanting to hear that answer.
"Sister, will you forget me?"
"Looks like you're really moving out......" I suddenly felt like someone had smashed my heart, and I almost couldn't hold back my tears, but then I thought, yes, this is right, this is the best.
"Will you forget me?" he stopped abruptly and turned to look at me, praying for an answer.
"Although we have only known each other for a little over a month, I feel that I may never forget you for the rest of my life. "Some people are like this, they have known each other for ten years, and they may not have entered your heart. But for some people, knowing each other for two days is enough......
Kevin suddenly laughed with satisfaction, and muttered, "Content, content, content......"
Along the way, we didn't talk again, I restrained, because I have self-knowledge, he is 10 years younger than me, even if he has traveled so many countries, but he has not really experienced the world of flowers, sooner or later he will forget me, sooner or later he will meet her who is his age or younger than him, not this me who is ten years older than him......
Lasagna is complicated, a layer of crust, a layer of meat sauce, a layer of white juice, a layer of cheese, Kevin patiently taught me, and the atmosphere is not like he is moving, but like life and death.
"Kevin, can you tell me...... Where are you going to move next?
I took a step back and just hit Kevin's arms, almost throwing the baking tray out of my hand. I hurried to get out of the way, but he held out an arm to stop me.
"Far. He said quietly, but his arm kept holding me back, not letting me leave.
I didn't push him away again, and then asked, "Did you leave China?"
"It shouldn't be considered to be leaving, it's still in the country. ”
"Shall I go to you, then?" I don't know why I said this, probably because I was about to part, so I had no scruples.
"Can't...... But sister, I will definitely come back to you...... You don't have to wait for me, but what if...... I mean, if you're willing to wait for me, I'll play a third song for you the day I get back. ”
He touched my head, took the baking tray from my hand, and went straight to the oven.
This meal was very embarrassing, in the afternoon Lou Ye and Kevin entered the main room and didn't know what they were tossing, although they kept listening to movement, but no one came out, only vaguely listening to the two people talking. I sat on the swing and woke up a little sleepy, so I went back to sleep, and even the nap dreams were all Kevin's appearance.
There was a loud knock on the door, "Who?" I hurriedly put on my clothes and prepared to open the door.
In the courtyard, I found that Kevin and Lou Ye looked at each other solemnly, but no one had any intention of opening the door.
"After you open the door, don't say we're here, and don't say see me. Lou Ye said and pulled Kevin into the house.
"How can you leave her here?"
She responded by herself, and she had to solve it, and she was harmed by her. ”
Originally, I had just opened my eyes, and I was in a daze, but now I was completely confused by these two people.
I slowly opened the courtyard door, and several big men rushed in before I could speak.
"What are you doing!" they circled the yard, as if looking for something.
"If you don't go out again, I'll call the police!" I shouted loudly, but they still looked at themselves, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked in from behind the group of big men.
With an extremely kind smile on his face, he said, "Don't be nervous, girl, we're just here to find someone." ”
If it weren't for this group of bandits, I would probably have been deceived by this man's appearance like a spring breeze......
"Who are you trespassing! I don't know you!"
"Do you live by yourself?"
"Just me. "I instinctively alerted to the bad things that were coming.
"Have you seen this person?" a young man nodded and followed behind the middle-aged man, pulling out a photograph and placing it in front of my eyes.
The person in the photo, with an angular face and a pair of gold-rimmed eyes, is simply a Lou Ye with folds and white hair......
