076 The Living Book of Songs
When Meng Junyao went from S City to M City, he told Xiaobai that he was going to work in a company in another place, and now he has to make up this lie.
He is comfortable with other girls, but he really feels awkward when he talks nonsense in front of Xiaobai.
"Mr. Meng, I forgot to ask, what company are you in now, and what kind of work do you do?"
Meng Junyao said reluctantly: "A small company, or art-related work. β
"That sister-in-law is definitely not happy to spend Chinese New Year's Eve alone, right?"
"She's ...... It's okay, I travel a lot and she's used to it. β
The sister-in-law who didn't exist at all was Meng Junyao's shield, blocking the arrows of Cupid, the god of love.
Xiaobai really hopes that he is lying, if he comes to see him, it would be great!
But don't expect too much, that's already very good.
I haven't seen each other for a year, and at this moment, I have a stomach full of things to say, and I don't know when to start.
The hearts of the two people obviously want to be close, but due to various obstacles, including those that don't actually exist (such as the sister-in-law who never had a child at all) and the inferiority complex hidden in their hearts, worldly prejudices, etc., they have to keep their distance on the surface.
But the eyes can't deceive people after all, and the deep affection spreads silently in this small room.
Xiaobai was suddenly very sure that what he wanted to entrust his life was such a man, ordinary, simple, and sincere.
What I want is not a life of fine clothes and fine food, famous cars, but the happiness of two people who can hold hands and walk together to buy vegetables, which is not a small luck, but a big luck.
It's a pity that I didn't be more determined at the beginning.
At this moment, all lawsuits, compensations, and bad guys have been left behind, and they just want to stare at each other's faces, the longer the better, but no one dares to take a step beyond Lei Chi.
"Smack!"
"It's all aboutβ"
"Seven milesβ"
"Gurglingβ"
The delicate atmosphere was broken by a series of loud drops, and a woman's loud invective could be heard in his ears.
Obviously, the stage of the neighbor Sister Zhang and his boyfriend started again, and Sister Zhang's set of eighteen palms of the dragon was not in vain, and every time she quarreled, her man hugged his head and scurried, crying for his father and calling his mother;
Sister Zhang also sold pork in the vegetable market a few years ago, and her shouting skills were first-class, as soon as she opened her mouth, everyone heard it, even the famous soprano X Hong and X Dan Zhuoma were not her opponents.
If it weren't for the fact that her legs and stomach turned as soon as she came on stage like Xiaobai, she would have gone to participate in some good voice show a long time ago, and her voice was absolutely overwhelming. So when her family quarrels, the neighbors can enjoy the all-natural additive-free soprano without any bel canto training for free.
After such a fuss today, the whole building knew that Sister Zhang's boyfriend had an affair with another girl.
Sister Zhang is in her 40s, her boyfriend is a few years older than her, and the girl is less than 20.
Sister Zhang scolded the old cow for eating tender grass, and tonight it is estimated that she will smash everything that can be smashed at home.
As a result, the atmosphere in the room here was very awkward, and Meng Junyao felt that every word was like scolding himself, the only difference was that he didn't actually do anything to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai thought, alas, Chinese New Year's Eve, just take it as "broken peace".
Seeing Xiao Bai's red face, Meng Junyao, who had eaten more than 20 years of rice than her and had thicker and rougher skin than her, broke the embarrassing situation with a smile: "They are lively with theirs, let's cut our cake." β
"Oh. β
Xiaobai hurriedly borrowed the steps to get something to light the fire.
The cake was decorated with no bells and whistles, just two blueberries, a red berry, and two butterfly flowers on the milky white mirror.
Because Meng Junyao knew that Xiaobai, like her name, liked a minimalist style.
"Yo, there are not enough candles attached to the cake, only 20, blame me for being careless!" Meng Junyao thought for a while and said, "Fortunately, I will order 18, I wish you 18 years of prosperity, come, make a wish." β
Xiaobai obediently clasped her hands, and she quietly made a wish - "I hope Jun Yao will have a safe life." β
Meng Junyao also silently made a wish behind her - "I hope Xiaobai will meet a lover, spoil her, and love her, just as I can't." β
If God could somehow reveal each other's buried wishes to each other, would the outcome of many love stories be different?
Blowing out the candle and turning on the light, Meng Junyao took out a flat log box from his coat pocket, which he kept close to his body, and carried his body temperature: "Oh, birthday present." β
Xiaobai is especially looking forward to it, because every year the gifts given by Mr. Meng are the most special and creative, and they are definitely not available outside!
Inside is a piece of white silk, unfolded, a long, long and stunning hand-painted color stave, the notes are not tadpoles, but butterflies!
They fly up and down to form this song, which is a harmonica tune composed for a text in the "Book of Songs", and the text is as follows: "Like the eternity of the moon, like the rise of the sun, like the longevity of the South Mountain, not collapsed, like the pine and cypress, there is no ....... or inheritance"
Just like when they met for the first time, Meng Junyao quietly took out a small white cloth bag from his robot cat's treasure bag-like pocket, pulled out a harmonica from it, and played this tune on the spot, and the "Book of Songs" came alive like this.
Xiaobai fell in love with this man's talent and romantic feelings, which is probably one of the reasons why his attachment to him has increased for more than 10 years.
Then again, with such an emotional and attentive elegant man, what girl with normal body and mind would be disgusted?
To say that he is ugly is inevitably a bit vulgar.
Xiaobai was so moved that no matter how loud things fell next door, no matter how loud the scolding was, it couldn't affect her mood.
Meng Junyao had been looking at her face warmly, and the way she couldn't put it down made him very pleased.
"Xiaobai, have you eaten?"
"Not yet. β
"How about just eating cake? I'll see what's in your fridge. β
I just returned to Canada a few days ago, and before leaving, I thoughtfully stuffed Xiaobai's refrigerator with food, and of course I didn't forget to stuff Xiaobai's refrigerator with various flavors of ice cream.
If she knew that Meng Junyao would come, she would definitely buy another 10 fish to freeze in the refrigerator in advance, because the fish made by Meng Junyao is invincible in the world and she never gets tired of eating it.
"There's a lot of stuff, but there's no fish! It's okay, other ingredients can also show you a hand, you can wait a while." β
There is a sentence that has been turning in Xiaobai's throat for a long time, it's so late that you are still with me, will my sister-in-law be unhappy if she knows?
But she is too attached to the long-lost taste of home given by Meng Junyao, so she can't say it anyway, and she can't wait to stay with him for a while longer, so she will be selfish again.
After today, I don't know if there is such an opportunity.
"Teacher Meng, I'll give you a hand. β
Looking at Meng Junyao's busy figure in the kitchen, Xiaobai felt that happiness was both near and far.
Two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks were placed on the table, Meng Junyao smiled and kept bringing fragrant dishes from the kitchen, he is really a good family man, and the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is, whoever wants to say that he is ugly, Xiaobai will definitely be anxious with that person.
Xiaobai, who was so hungry that he wanted to bite the chopsticks, moved his index finger and was about to shake off his cheeks and rub it, when suddenly, a text message "Ding Dong" came from the devil!
- Now come down and see me!
Xiaobai's heart rose to his throat!
Wushan is so careful, if he sees a man still in his house so late, how will he deal with Teacher Meng? I'm afraid it's not a problem of 150,000 yuan!
But it doesn't work if you ignore it, what if he rushes up directly?
She hastened to reply.
- I'm about to sleep.
- Aren't the lights still on?!
Xiaobai thought to himself, he must have come to me to settle accounts, because I was scolding him on the phone, this guy who will repay him!
At this time, Meng Junyao just brought out the last dish, also served the rice, and intimately pulled up a chair for her, and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, you're hungry, it's time to eat!"
Xiaobai turned off the light in the living room with a nervous face, leaving only the kitchen inside, and said stubbornly: "This light flashed just now, I'll turn it off for a while and turn it on." β
Meng Junyao watched Xiaobai grow up, knowing that she was not a lying girl since she was a child, and the lonely man and widow ate in the dark, did she have any ideas......
But whatever the idea is, it must be well-intentioned. And Meng Junyao dotes on her very much, and always gives her enough face: "Okay, you are the birthday star who listens to you." β
Xiaobai quickly sent another text message back to Wushan under the table.
- Looking for you tomorrow!
There's no movement over there.
With the help of the kitchen light, Xiaobai took a few bites of rice with trepidation, forgetting to praise Meng Junyao's cooking skills, and only hoped that Wushan would leave quickly.
Meng Junyao was neither praised nor thanked, he didn't mind at all, and only jokingly said: "The light is so dim, be careful not to eat it in your nose." β
Xiaobai under the dim light, the facial lines are softer and warmer, more and more moving, Meng Junyao looked into a daze, thinking that no wonder young people love to eat candlelight dinners, it turns out that the darker environment can make people look more beautiful.
He is a mixture of a man's love for his daughter and his woman.
Heavy footsteps got closer and closer, and finally, "Knock knock!"
Loud slamming of the door.
Xiaobai threw away his rice bowl and jumped up, picked up Meng Junyao and ran to the bathroom, not forgetting to grab the coat he put on the back of the chair.
"Xiaobai, who knocked on the door?"
Her expression was tense, and she said pleadingly: "Don't ask so much, no matter what happens outside, you must not come out, ten million!"
Meng Junyao took the coat she stuffed over with a confused expression, worried about her safety.
Xiaobai locked him in the bathroom and hurriedly opened the door, the old door panel was almost removed by Wushan.
She dodged outside the house and closed the door: "What are you doing?"
"Aren't you sleeping? What are the nerves to sleep in such a neat dress?" Wu Shan, who had a chill on the ink-colored windbreaker, turned his sharp eyes on her, and sniffed a few more times, "It's very fragrant, dodge!"
