Chapter Twenty-Three: I like the smell of fireworks

Knowing that his daughter was going home and was going to bring her boyfriend back, after the phone call, Bai Wenze and his wife Lu Xiaoping began to get busy, the furniture floor was polished, and the flowers and plants on the balcony were sprayed again.

After cleaning up the house and the outside, the two went to the vegetable market again, and happily came back with two large bags of vegetables and fruits.

In the past five years, Jingya has never mentioned the matter of finding a partner, although someone came to introduce her, but she refused for various reasons. Bai Wenze and Lu Xiaoping had no choice but to say that they were not in a hurry, but in fact, they were already about to get angry in their hearts. Now, the daughter finally got her senses, and the couple talked about the importance of character and character while working in the kitchen.

The journey was fairly smooth, at three o'clock in the afternoon, navigation tip: arrived at the destination. Gu Yunfan first found a place to park the car, and then waited for Jingya to wake up. He looked around through the car window, although it was only a county seat, the city construction was not bad at all, the old streets were very clean except for a few yellow leaves, and the road was flanked by tall birch trees, the trunks of which were straight and white, and the golden triangular leaves swayed in the wind. The pedestrian path is lined with pink and white camellias, there are large benches every few meters, and there are not many vehicles and pedestrians on the road, so there is no such crowding and busyness as in big cities. Right now, New Year's Day is approaching, and the small shops on both sides of the street are also decorated with a strong New Year's atmosphere. Gu Yunfan felt that his eyes were like an oil painting of winter beauty, and the fatigue of this period of time disappeared in an instant.

Jingya finally woke up, looked up at the window, and realized that it had arrived.

Gu Yunfan saw that she was awake, so he whispered, "It's so good that you guys are here." ”

Jingya had just woken up, and she was dizzy and didn't hear what he said, but smiled faintly. Under the winter sun, looking at the shallow dimples, Gu Yunfan said again: "It's better to have you." ”

After getting out of the car, Jingya really felt relaxed, she took a deep breath, although it was a cold air, but this familiar breath was enough to warm her heart.

Jingya's family has lived in this community for more than ten years, and the relationship with the neighbors is also very good, as soon as Jingya stepped into the gate of the community, someone immediately took the initiative to greet her, Jingya held the white lily of the valley in one hand, and carried two bags for Gu Yunfan with the other hand. On the surface, he looks quite calm, but he is a little awkward in his heart. She could guess that most of those people's eyes fell behind her, and Gu Yunfan was holding a large stack of gifts, a scene he rarely encountered. I had to politely give people a smile one by one. Jingya felt that her face was hot, and she had walked for more than ten years, and this moment really felt so long.

Fortunately, I finally got home, as soon as I opened the door, there was a burst of the smell of food, Gu Yunfan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, Jingya put down the flowers and bags in her hand, and shouted in the direction of the kitchen: "Dad, Mom, I'm back." ”

Bai Wenze and Lu Xiaoping immediately appeared in front of them, and Jingya immediately threw herself into Lu Xiaoping's arms softly, and said coquettishly: "Do you miss me?" ”

Lu Xiaoping's hand was oily, so she had to raise her hand and say with a doting look and a long tail note: "Yes!"

"Dad made a lot of your favorite dishes today. Bai Wenze looked at the mother and daughter from the side, and his eyes were full of happiness.

"Uncle, aunt is good!" Gu Yunfan put down the things in his hand and walked over to say hello.

Bai Wenze and Lu Xiaoping turned their heads almost at the same time, a well-dressed young man stood at the door, with a number of valuable gifts beside him, Lu Xiaoping motioned Jingya to stand up with her arm, and the husband and wife were a little embarrassed by the faux pas just now, and at the same time replied enthusiastically: "Okay, hello, come and sit." ”

The meal is indeed very rich, although it is home-cooked food, but for Gu Yunfan, who rarely can eat home-cooked food, this taste is better than the banquets of many big hotels. The conversation at the dinner table was also very relaxed, and Gu Yunfan's nervous heart gradually relaxed, he liked such a life full of fireworks.

Jingya didn't explain Gu Yunfan's identity to her parents in detail, but simply said that he worked in a large company, but Bai Wenze could see from his conversation and temperament that it was not so simple. In the evening, after Lu Xiaoping arranged the guest room, she took Jingya to the supermarket, and Gu Yunfan stayed to play chess with Bai Wenze. After a few games of chess, Bai Wenze could see that Gu Yunfan's mind was calmer than that of ordinary young people.

Lu Xiaoping just bought a few daily necessities in the supermarket, and on the way back, Jingya was like a child, holding her arm and snuggling beside her. Lu Xiaoping reached out and nodded her forehead, and said angrily: "It's all grown, and I still look like a child all day long, not an adult." ”

"Who said I grew up, I was just a child. Jingya replied with a mischievous face.

"That Xiao Gu looks pretty good, he is a polite and educated child. I can see that he is also attentive to you, and always puts vegetables in your bowl when eating. You're so old, you have to deal with people. ”

"Mom!"

"Okay, let's not talk about it. You are in charge of your own affairs, and your parents can only give you advice at most. ”

At night, Gu Yunfan slept in the guest room arranged by Lu Xiaoping, there were many colorful stickers on the wall, and a few of them were quiet and elegant head stickers, looking at the layout of the room, it should have been a study before, and there were some textbooks and extracurricular books stacked on the shelves.

Gu Yunfan was lying on the bed, and the warm and soft quilt made him sleepy quickly.

Jingya put the bouquet of lily of the valley flowers in the vase on the bedside table, and the faint fragrance spread throughout the room. It's probably because I've slept for too long during the day, and now I'm not sleepy, and I've been thinking about the words my mother said, but my heart is inexplicably very steady.

Yan Yidong hesitated for a long time, and finally tied the scarf around his neck and got out of the car. The day was quite bright, but in the evening it began to rain, and the rain was not heavy, but it added a little chill to the temperature.

He put his hands in the pockets on both sides of his gray tweed coat, and the large beige plaid cashmere scarf tightened his neck, which he had always carried with him for several years, but he had worn it twice, and today was the second time.

When I entered the gate of the community just now, if it wasn't for the access control card, I would never have been able to enter. He held it tightly in his palm, and even if his palm was painful, he had no intention of letting go.

Although the sky has completely darkened, I can still see that the environment here has hardly changed much, this is the first time I have returned here since leaving, slowly approaching the villa, the wall lamps on both sides of the gate illuminate the surroundings quite clearly, on one side is a small bamboo forest, on the other side is a tall blue tree tree. With the fragrance of bamboo leaves in the cold wind, he looked at the blue jacaranda tree, still remembering the scene when the blue jacaranda flowers were in full bloom, and looking at it from afar, it was as hazy and romantic as a purple mist. At that time, he had happily thought in his heart that he would be able to enjoy such a beautiful scenery with her in the future, and then this purple mist wish also drifted away with the wind.

After a few steps forward, I got closer and closer to the door, and there were only two lights on the second floor of the whole house. One of them, he knew, had once been a children's room.

A gust of wind swept by, and I faintly felt a little sour in my nose. The hand that wanted to ring the doorbell stayed in mid-air for a moment, and finally put it down. Soon, he turned around and returned to the car.

He quickly started the car, and the inside of the car quickly became ambiguous, and he ripped off the scarf around his neck, threw it on the seat next to him, and left as fast as he could.

When she returned to the hotel, Yin Lisha was waiting for Yan Yidong at the door with a document. Seeing that he frowned, he guessed that it was probably related to Bai Jingya, so he had to briefly talk about the plan he had determined with the advertising company and asked him to sign the document.

Yan Yidong didn't listen to Yin Lisha's report at all, but sat there and continued to think about the previous question, so he raised his head and asked, "Lisa, do you often think of your parents?"

Yin Lisha was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes, who doesn't want to miss their parents." ”

Yan Yidong could see the happy smile on her face, and he was even a little envious.

Anyone else would answer such a question the same as Yin Lisha, but Yan Yidong's heart is a dead hole, this is his heart knot. His emotions, which he had finally calmed down, began to emerge uncontrollably again. Yes, he used to miss his parents like Yin Lisha, and the villa he went to just now was the home that once made him feel warm, he had lived there for more than 20 years, and he thought that his future life would be so happy. But what he never expected was that all of this was an illusion, and his parents made him sacrifice his life's happiness in order to achieve his own interests.

The phone rang to interrupt his recollection, and the word "Mary" was displayed on the screen, and he quickly connected.

"I'm Mary. ”

"Hmm. Yan Yidong actually knew that this name must be fake, but he didn't want to delve into it, after all, after this matter, they should never have any contact again.

"I've asked you, Bai Jingya did take annual leave, and now she is going back to her hometown to rest. Mary paused, then added, "It's going back with his boyfriend." ”

"And Gu Yunfan?"

"Hmm. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

"You don't even have a word of thanks? ”

"We're just working together to benefit each other. ”

"Well, I'm not going to worry about that with you, I hope we can all succeed. Can you say it now, who the hell are you? It can't be an ex-boyfriend, right......"

"FiancΓ©!" the voice was so low that it seemed to come from his chest.

"You...... She ......"

"You don't need to know more things, and then contact them. He quickly hung up the phone.

Five years ago, if there was no accident at that wedding, now she must be his wife, if it wasn't for that car accident, she wouldn't be as unrecognizable as she is now, in the past few years, he has been letting himself forget some things, but there are always two names that are hard to forget, that is Lin Xi and Bai Jingya.
