Chapter 37 (I)

Thirty-year-old Chen Yi doesn't have much "personal" feeling about her age, just like the seventeen-year-old she can't sketch an image of her thirty-year-old self in front of her eyes - too far away - tied in a ponytail, wearing a loose sky blue school uniform, dreaming of becoming a big star in Beijing, the girl Chen Yi can imagine herself wearing an evening dress, standing on the stage of the Oscars, but she can't imagine what she looks like as a middle-aged woman.

Thirty years old, in the hearts of seventeen-year-old children, isn't it a middle-aged woman, Chen Yi and Bai Qi walked on the street, for the oncoming people, it seems that they have a set of vision shielding system that belongs to their teenagers, they can only see people of the same age as themselves, can accurately judge what brand of sneakers on their feet is which season's limited edition, and can also by looking at the school uniform, you will naturally think of your friends in other schools, so it involves the topic of the world, all people under the age of fifteen, above the age of twenty, it seems that they can't attract their attention, even if it is a beautiful middle-aged woman, they will only pass by without squintingAt most, when you meet you in the supermarket, you first say, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I've borrowed it." Then he casually said, "That aunt just now is very beautiful." ”

After the age of thirty, Chen Yi will no longer be angry with the children's "auntie", occasionally a child has a sweet mouth, calling her "sister", she will correct with a smile, "Call auntie." ”

This is a watershed, even if she is called an aunt at the age of twenty-nine, Chen Yi will still chuckle lightly in her heart, thirty years old is very good, she can be called, her face is calm and can even be called kindly, accept this honorific title.

At zero o'clock, she set an alarm clock for herself with a sense of ceremony, and when the alarm went off, she closed her laptop, walked to the window, and looked out the window, the moon was clear and the wind was clear, and her face was reflected on the glass as usual.

It seems that the world does not care about her aging, just as any teenager does not care about his middle age.

She turned around and returned to her seat to continue to be busy, she received many blessing text messages on her mobile phone, and she saw Bai Qi first, "Yiyi, I have never been absent in the first half of your life, and I will never leave in the second half of my life, happy birthday, my baby, when you become an old baby, the person who kisses and hugs you is still me." ”

Without waiting for Chen Yi to reply, he sent another message, "Don't rob you with your mother during the day, you must free up time for me at night." ”

After lunch, Zhou Biyun picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked into the kitchen to urge Chen Yi, "You hurry up and clean up, dress better, Bai Qi will definitely take you to a high-end restaurant later, and he won't send you back at night, you'd better spray another perfume." ”

Chen Yi stood up, rolled up her sleeves to help, and teased her, "Why are you so nervous? My husband and wife and I, even if we meet with a plain face and wear old Beijing slippers, it's nothing." ”

"Don't, don't, beware of the smell of oil smoke and make him dislike you. Zhou Biyun turned around to avoid her outstretched hand, Nunu mouthed and motioned for her to go aside, "If it's really an old husband and wife, even if you shit and fart in front of him unkempt, I don't care about you, but this, aren't you unlicensed? You young people say that you don't get married, you want to talk about a lifelong relationship, that's a little reserved, every date has to be taken seriously, this romance can't be lost, once lost, the feelings are also lost, who would be happy to face a yellow-faced woman, an old man with a beer belly, and talk about love?"

"Look at you. Chen Yi pointed at her, shook his fingers, and made a regretful expression, "It's getting married again, and the bad habits are hard to change." ”

"I didn't rush to get married, don't wronged me. Zhou Biyun argued, "I just advise you that boyfriends and girlfriends are not as delicate as husband and wife when they meet." ”

Chen Yi retorted, "Then after getting married, can you endure it if you are not exquisite?"

"Then what can you do? Zhou Biyun laughed, she said while washing the dishes, "This marriage is troublesome, divorce is also difficult, although it is a piece of paper, but it is also a certificate recognized by the whole society, how much it still puts an invisible lock on the love of the two, husband and wife are more tightly tied than the boyfriend and girlfriend relationship that can be divided, and it can be regarded as a promise to others, in order to live with you, I am not afraid of trouble, and I will repair an extra threshold for possible breakup thoughts." ”

There is some truth in this, so Chen Yi didn't argue anymore, she thought about it from a different angle, and suddenly screamed "Oh, oh", pushed her mother's waist, squinted her eyes and asked, "It's Bai Qi who taught you a lesson, right?"

She asked: "If you really love him and plan to accompany each other in the future, what does it matter if you have one more certificate?"

Fortunately, after listening to Zhou Biyun's words and putting on a formal suit, Chen Yi saw that Bai Qi was also dressed in a formal suit, but according to his habits, he usually went to an overly serious restaurant on a date, today is her birthday, and she must go to a heavy place, she greeted him with a smile, looked at him standing on the side of the road in a suit and leather shoes, bowed slightly to her, first held his hand and kissed the back of his hand lightly, and then opened the car door, and called her affectionately: "Yiyi, are you ready?"

Before she could ask, he said, "It's a birthday." ”

The implication of his words is to tell her to prepare for the life of thirty years old, Chen Yi smiled, whether she is ready or not, this time does not always have to move forward, no one can stop fine lines from creeping up the corners of her eyes, the years do not look back, what should a middle-aged person have? family?children? Although she has no children, she is at peace in her heart, because she feels that she has a home, which is the kind that cannot be separated by storms, as for the career, although there are inevitably some shortcomings in progress and completion, she is steadily moving forward - what else do you need?—— In terms of material, the house, she was already looking, it had to be a big house, because she had a big family.

She said, "Bai Qi, I'm thirty years old. ”

Bai Qi's eyes looked at her as gently as a clear spring, "Glittering age." ”

Bai Qi did not drive the car to the business district, but a quiet dense forest, Chen Yi knew that this road was the well-known Yunfeng Road No. 8, which is famous for its high housing prices and many famous residents, their car drove straight into the community after brushing through the gate and passing the checkpoint, and finally stopped in front of an independent three-story building, Bai Qi parked the car in the parking apron in front of the gate.

Chen Yi got out of the car, and when he saw Bai Qitou, he didn't look back and introduced while entering the password to open the door, "The password is your birthday and sugar, and then add 99." - It seems that this is everyone's future residence - Thinking of Zhou Biyun's ambiguous and mysterious eyes when she heard Bai Qi coming to pick her up, Chen Yi suddenly understood that while she was busy with work, they had already secretly completed a big thing.

Entering the door and a courtyard, the main body of the house stands among the shades, and then entering the house, Chen Yi saw a table of candlelight dinners that had been prepared, two people dressed in chef costumes and a waiter tuxedo stood straight in front of the table, bowing politely to them, "Mr. Bai Qi, Miss Chen Yi, the dinner for the two of you has been prepared." ”

The two chefs left first, so Chen Yi enjoyed a luxurious dinner with waiter service in this home environment.

After the meal, the cleaning staff came to clean up the scraps, Bai Qi led Chen Yi upstairs to explore the room, there is a spacious living room on each floor of this house, but the largest and attached bar on the first floor, the space is large enough for dozens of people to have an all-night dance party with food and drink, the second and third floors have four bedrooms and two bathrooms, of which the master bedroom has its own walk-in closet, and there are huge balconies large enough to organize open-air barbecues facing south and west.

"See which room you want to live in? My ideal is that we will live in the master bedroom on the third floor, the second bedroom for Baitang, our parents will live on the second floor, and the extra room will be our studio, one for you and one for me. Bai Qi took Chen Yi's hand throughout the whole process, while walking indoors, while describing a better future, the basic household appliances in the house have been prepared, but there is not much soft decoration, he said, "Like hanging paintings, furnishings these things, I don't make my own opinions, you can get it according to your preferences." ”

After turning each room, they came to the balcony on the third floor, where each of the detached villas in the community was hidden in the forest, so that the floating street lamps and home lamps were like undulating fishing fires on the sea, more like stars in the night sky, as if they wanted to sing an ode to the wind for this quiet and beautiful night.

"This is a pass, there are two of them, one for me and one for you. Bai Qi handed Chen Yi a white envelope with a red ribbon tied with a bow, and then said, "The room book has been put away by your mother, and only your name is written, happy birthday." ”

"Huh?" Chen Yi exhaled lightly and looked at Bai Qi in disbelief, this building is worth about 50 million, even if Bai Qi can earn it again, this sudden expense can be regarded as draining his inventory.

"Yiyi, I've kept you waiting. Bai Qi didn't wait for her to shirk, so he took out a ring, put it on her ring finger without saying a word, and said, "This is what I owe you, I should have given it to you a long time ago, once I said, I only propose once in this life, because I have a good face, I just want to succeed and not fail, but if you reject me, then I have to be cheeky to propose again and again, anyway, we must be together at least in this life, I have time and patience." ”

"I'm sorry......" As soon as Chen Yi said these three words, she saw that the star under Bai Qi's eyes was missing a corner, and she hurriedly added, "No, what I mean when I say I'm sorry is that I won't give you a second chance to propose." ”

"What?" Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face was already uncontrollably excited, "You agreed?"

Chen Yi was smiling on her face, but her eyes were full of tears, she wrapped her hands tightly around Bai Qi's waist, at the moment when she was filled with happiness, a fragile sense of uneasiness followed, she hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that the torrent of fate would suddenly wash away the two of them, she raised her head and asked, "When will you get the certificate?"

"I'll be free tomorrow. Bai Qi smiled, "If you don't have time, can you also make time for me? ”

Chen Yi nodded heavily, and then snuggled into Bai Qi's arms, did she still need to prepare anything for the age of thirty?

The next day, Bai Qi did not show up at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, so that Chen Yi thought that everything he experienced yesterday was just an overly grand and beautiful dream.
