Chapter 85: Night and Dawn
I don't know when he came, and I don't know how much he listened to her words, Lin Xiangwan didn't care, he was tired like a cat, but his eyes were bright.
"And you don't wear socks, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" said Chudillo reproachfully, squatting down beside her, covering her feet in the palms of his hands.
Although she had surgery, her health was still not very good, and in winter, her hands and feet were always cold, and only when she was warmed by him would she not tremble. Because of his past work, Lin Xiangwan still likes to stay up late, and after taking a shower, he sits in front of the computer and reads gossip with his hair disheveled. In the past, no one cared, she would often see one or two points at a glance, and when she realized that the time was not early, her body was as stiff as a piece of wood, and now at twelve o'clock, Chu Di would go to the study to find her, whether she wanted to or not, she would carry her back to the bedroom.
Putting her cold hands and feet on her hot chest, listening to her breathe a sigh of comfort, even if she felt a little uncomfortable, felt that it was worth it.
For a long time, Chu Di has always felt that he is not a person who can take care of people, even if Lin Xiangwan says that he is very good to her now, he also feels that he has not done much, she is too independent, and the habits she developed in her early years make her unable to rely on one person completely, she doesn't like to be restrained, he cares about her more, she wants to blow up her hair, jump to her feet and tell him that she wants human rights, whenever this time, Chu Di doesn't quarrel with her, just calls Ye Nan and lets him watch from the side.
Whenever this happens, these two will throw away all their previous prejudices and become particularly tacit, one big and one small will not speak, just throwing a sad or contemptuous look at Lin Xiangwan, which is enough for her to surrender automatically.
"I won't sit for long, and I'll go back in a while. Lin Xiangwan muttered, but did not resist. The temperature of the man's palm made her feel very comfortable and reluctant to move away.
Chu Di sat beside her, rubbing the soles of his feet for her, his movements were slow and long, full of strength, but it didn't make her feel uncomfortable, he was used to doing this kind of thing at a glance. Lin Xiangwan was wrapped in a thin blanket and lay down sideways, on a snowy night, even if there were no stars and moons, it would look very bright, Chu Di's side face looked clear, and there was no middle-aged man's troubles at all. "If people see you like this, they will probably think that I am abusing you. ”
Her tone was lightly teasing, and her toes, which were as round as white shells, swam in Chu Di's hands, like a few restless small fish, Chu Di gently pinched them, "I'm willing, who will say it." ”
He had promised her that she would take care of him at the beginning, and now that her life would be in his hands.
Lin Xiangwan stared at the man in front of him, knowing that he was him, but sometimes he always felt that he was not actually him, but someone had changed his core, leaving only an imposter with the same shell. Otherwise, where did he go to that vicious and cunning man? When was he, swallowed up by the years, and replaced by such a man who, no matter what she did, even if he agreed, would accompany her, watch her go wild, and smile at her?
Two months ago, Ye Nan had a game, Lin Xiangwan and Chu Di went to watch together, before the game started, she was wandering around the Go Museum downstairs, because it was a children's group competition, so there were a lot of parents who came that day, and the crowd was like a vegetable market, Lin Xiangwan's heart was as calm as water, she didn't pay much attention to Ye Nan's game results, of course it was good to win the first place, but even if she couldn't take it, it didn't matter. She is more interested in whether he will be happy in the process. She didn't want to raise a talent, the water is full, the moon is full and the moon is lost, if something is too perfect, it is not far from beauty.
So when other parents were anxious about their children's results, she was like a crane, strolling around the museum with her hands behind her back. Looking east and west, Lin Xiangwan walked to the depths of the museum after a while, and even she forgot how many circles she had turned, and when she looked back, she found that Chu Di was behind her.
He is obviously not a pedant, no matter how free he is, he will not wander around the museum, plus his body has only recovered for a long time, and his legs will be uncomfortable if he stands for a long time, Lin Xiangwan thought that he would definitely find a place to rest, but what she didn't expect was that no matter where she went, as soon as she turned around, she could find that he was not far behind her.
Seeing her look back, he will smile quietly at her, the two people are obviously separated by a distance, but they seem to be inextricably linked, even raising their hands and feet, they are tacitly understanding.
Ye Nan finally won a third prize that day, and the organizer issued a small trophy, and the bonus was deducted from taxes for several hundred yuan, in the past, Ye Nan would give this kind of money directly to Lin Xiangwan, Lin Xiangwan would either save it for him, or the two of them would have a good meal outside, but this time Ye Nan did not hand over the bonus, and Lin Xiangwan did not ask him to ask for it, the child grew up, and he could not be detained all the time. So that day's dinner, Chu Di was the villager.
So in the restaurant, Chu Di once again surprised Lin Xiangwan, he remembered all their preferences, what flavor of dishes Ye Nan likes to eat, the steak should be a little cooked, and even the asparagus in Lin Xiangwan's bowl was automatically picked into his bowl by him......
When he does these things, there is no show-off or exaggeration in it, everything is natural, like gurgling water, which makes people only feel comfortable and intimate.
When did he notice these little things? Even she didn't know some tiny details of Ye Nan's life, but he knew everything about it, he said that he wanted to take care of them, this was not an empty word, he was really doing it with his heart.
"Oh, by the way, I received a letter yesterday afternoon, and I put it on your desk. Seeing that she didn't want to sleep for a while, Chu Di chatted casually with Lin Xiangwan. "Who sent it?"
In recent years, ordinary letters have almost become antiques, and everyone usually contacts either by mobile phone or by the Internet, and how can anyone write letters.
"I don't know. Lin Xiangwan shook his head, "The sender was not written on the letter." It seems to be a thank you letter from a hope elementary school, and the name of the school is not written on it, but I probably haven't funded this one, did I send it to you?"
"I don't remember, show it to me. ”
The letter is machine-printed, covered with many children's palm prints, the whole letter is filled with a strong sense of innocence and joy, on the back of the letter is a photo, hundreds of children and teachers huddled together, everyone's face is small, but it can be seen that they are all laughing.
Chu Di took the letter paper and looked at it under the light for a long time. Then he pointed to a point on the letter paper and said to Lin Xiangwan, "You come here." ”
Lin Xiangwan leaned over, looked at it for a moment, and then suddenly screamed. She took the letter and looked at the lamp carefully over and over again.
"It's ...... Mingfei?" The facial features of the person in the photo were blurred, and Lin Xiangwan could barely recognize them when he almost looked at them.
The name, and the man, had been gone in her world for almost a year. Xu Mingfei walked so simply at the beginning, and she was absolutely not like her gentle and kind on weekdays. She's gone, but she's left behind a mess.
Now Bailijia and the Zhong family are fighting to the death in the jewelry business, and some small businesses have to close their doors because of the serious backlog of profit margins. Every time there is a banquet attended by Baili Tong, the head of the Baili family, and Zhong Kun, a rookie of the Zhong family, it will inevitably become a gathering place for the paparazzi, because they know that these two people are like natural rivals, even if they don't meet, they will criticize each other to the fullest, or if they meet, they will inevitably be insoluble.
There are many people who wonder why these two people who have no connection at all suddenly turn against each other, but few know the truth.
"It should be her. She is probably afraid that you will be worried, so she will report your safety in this way. Chu Di said, taking the letter, folding it and putting it in a drawer.
Lin Xiangwan looked at his empty palm, and was in a trance for a while. "I don't know if she's doing well? She is also a person who has been up and down the mountains, knows how difficult life is in poor mountainous areas, sometimes she can't even drink clean water, and she doesn't know how Xu Mingfei, who has been in Baili's house, can endure it.
"No matter how bad the living conditions are, at least she is free. In that kind of place, no one forces her to do what she doesn't want to do. Chu Di said, "Don't underestimate Xu Mingfei, she is a very strong woman, leaving here is her choice, she will definitely live her life well, you don't have to worry too much about her." ”
Is this really the case? Lin Xiangwan was a little at a loss, she once thought that leaving was a good thing, but in the end she understood that there are some things that you can't let go of when you say it.
For example, people who have loved and hated, such as people who still love and hate today......
"Isn't it early, not going to sleep?" The hands of the clock pointed to five o'clock, and the snow outside did not know when it stopped. The white world looks very clean.
Lin Xiangwan shook his head, "I don't want to sleep, I don't have to go to work tomorrow anyway, let's make up for sleep when you're sleepy during the day, how long have you not seen the sunrise?"
As soon as she asked, Chu Di knew what she wanted to do, so he didn't persuade her anymore, just hugged her and sat back on the floor, and the two chatted without saying a word, waiting for the moment when dawn broke.
The heating in the room was turned on to the maximum, and his body was as hot as a small stove, so even if he sat on the floor, he would not feel cold. The man's heartbeat came through the thin blanket, and it was firm and powerful, intertwined with her heartbeat.
Lin Xiangwan's palm was tightly held by him, and the man's fingers gently rubbed back and forth on the old scar on her palm, which was a scar that would never fade, and might remain in her palm for a lifetime.
But after looking at it for a long time, I don't think it's ugly. At least she didn't, and she knew, he must have thought the same way.
Just like this long snowy night, no matter how raging the wind and snow, there will eventually be a moment when the snow will pass the sunny sky, and only after seeing the wind and snow can you know the value of a sunny day.
When the first rays of the sun illuminate the entire snow-white city, dawn is just around the corner.
