25. Hug me.
Xu Shenlin took me to the hospital to bandage me, and met his assistant halfway, and his father was hospitalized, and he has been taking care of him here during this time.
The assistant gave him the car keys, and Xu Shenlin instructed, "Don't tell them, I'm out." β
His assistant nodded.
Xu Shenlin glanced at me, then walked out with the car keys, I followed him, looking at his tall back with mixed feelings.
If I were five years younger and met him at the best age, I would have fallen in love with him no matter what I said, but unfortunately, there are so many early and late encounters in this world, just right, so difficult to meet.
There is no fate, it can only be like this.
He pulled the car door and I bent over and sat in, and when I sat in, I looked up and saw the rearview mirror and couldn't help but look up left and right, and my face was wrapped in gauze and was miserable.
It's not a particularly beautiful kind in the first place, so I'm also disfigured.
Xu Shenlin sat in the driver's seat, saw that I was looking at the scar on my face, and reminded me, "Seat belt." β
I looked left and right, lowered my head and immediately buckled the seat belt, he glanced at me, retracted his gaze and started to start the engine, he drove very steadily, and there was no problem with looking left and right.
Steady and not impatient, anyway, I sat inside, drowsy from the lukewarm heater, and when I arrived at a restaurant, I immediately looked at the front of the hotel.
I'm afraid that last time it would be ordinary, and I would take some places to eat pomp and circumstance, and I was afraid that I would be turned away again.
But this time, Xu Shenlin brought me to a private restaurant, a Hunan cuisine with a bit of local flavor.
I stood at the door waiting for him, he parked the car and got out of the car and walked towards me, he stood in front of me, seeing that I was looking at him, Xu Shenlin stretched out his hand and loosened his neckline, and unbuttoned it, revealing a sexy Adam's apple, I glanced at it and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
I thought to myself, how would it feel if I kissed it?
Thinking of the blurred kiss that night, I felt more and more uncontrollable, and immediately let myself stop this somewhat yellow burst of thoughts, closed my eyes, and wanted to bring my reason back.
Seeing that my face was a little red, he frowned and asked, "What?"
I immediately turned my face away a little unnaturally, and in order to prevent him from guessing the reason for my blushing, I reached out and fanned my face, looked around and said, "It's a little hot." β
He didn't ask any more questions, just said, "Go in first." β
I nodded, and followed him in, don't look at the countryside outside, but there is a lot of Qiankun inside, it is elegant, and it has the feeling of a small bridge and flowing water.
Anyway, when I walked in, I only heard the sound of the spring tinkling, and when I looked around, I saw a large waterwheel standing in the middle of the courtyard, which was slowly turning.
Driving the moonlight in the sky in all directions, the water is sparkling, and a few rare peach blossoms are planted around, scorching people's eyes.
Walking in, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and under the peach tree, there is duckweed mixed with peach petals on the water surface.
I followed closely behind Xu Shenlin, for fear that he would lose me without paying attention, but what should I do, he seemed to see that I was a little repulsed by this strange environment.
The corners of his mouth inadvertently hooked up a smile, and he stretched out his hand, "Don't lose it." β
I glanced at his hand, but I didn't dare to take it, but I took the corner of his sleeve and whispered, "That's fine." β
He wasn't reluctant, so we started to go weirdly all the way, I tugged at his sleeve, and sometimes he stopped at his pace, and I didn't pay attention, and he always bumped into his back.
This courtyard doesn't look at the small faΓ§ade outside, the inside is the same as the Forbidden City, looking around, a pavilion next to a pavilion.
I looked around and saw a school of fish slipping under the Feifei Bridge quickly, colorful, and with some surprise, he pointed to a huge thing in the center of the fish, and said in surprise, "Look, there is a king in it." β
Naturally, he took my long outstretched hand and said, "Eat first." β
He held it very naturally, as if it should be like this, and it was obviously impossible for me to withdraw my hand, the temperature of his palm was a little cold, dry and generous, and it surrounded my hand just right.
Just as I was at a loss, he had led me to a water pavilion, surrounded by curtains that were particularly ethereal in the moonlight.
The water pavilion is surrounded by a graceful blue lotus, blooming lotus flowers, where there is already a waiter waiting there.
After we entered, the waiter greeted us with a smile and shouted to Xu Shenlin, "Mr. Xu." β
Xu Shenlin hummed, took me and sat down, and after his hand let go of me, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The waiter asked him what he was eating, and he handed me the menu and asked me to start ordering.
I'm really hungry, I just looked at the strange rocks all the way, my stomach was already hungry, he asked me to order, and I won't squirm or be polite.
The menu was in Chinese and English, I hurriedly scanned a few times, then ordered a few signature dishes, Xu Shenlin asked for a soup, when the waiter retreated.
Xu Shenlin held a jasper teapot on the stone table, holding a small translucent teacup in his left hand, I stared at the teapot in his hand for a long time, thinking in my heart, what a rich man, drinking tea casually is because of the antique goods handed down by the ancestors.
If I go home and sell them all, will I be rich?
Thinking about it like this, I feel that I have gone astray again, and I want to correct my bad thoughts immediately.
Xu Shenlin had already handed me the small jade teacup in his hand, "Say it." β
I took it, and the big lama took a sip, and I didn't put it on the tip of my nose like him first, but swallowed the dates and drank it, a cup to the stomach, there was no legendary fragrance on the lips and teeth, but the taste of RMB was particularly strong.
I was a little thirsty, and after drinking one glass, I poured a few more glasses one after another, completely forgetting what I had promised him before, and subconsciously asked, "What do you say?"
He said, "How did the injury come about?" β
Speaking of this, I didn't think there was anything to keep secret, while drinking tea, while eating the side dishes on the table and telling him, how I met my husband's lover who rushed out with a knife to kidnap me when I was in the supermarket, and I didn't forget to brag to him about how smart and awesome I was at that time.
He frowned slightly when he heard this, and I said jokingly as I spoke, "You must not know, the woman who pointed the knife at me is still my best friend who has played with me since childhood, women's friendship is really weaker than anything in the world, and if it is gone, it will be gone." β
After I finished speaking, I suddenly fell tired on the stone table, looked at the lotus leaves and lotus flowers outside the curtain of the water pavilion, and said listlessly, "Forget it, it's nothing, it's just a thing that can't be vulgar." β
When I finished speaking, I put my hand over my eyes, not wanting him to see my cowardice.
I felt that my palms were a little wet, and just as I wanted to calm down and face him again, Xu Shenlin's hand had reached out to my face, pulled away my hand covering my eyes, and then gently wiped the tears from my eyes.
He whispered, "You still have a wound on your face, and it hurts when you get your tears on it." β
I raised my head, looked at the soft look on his face, and pleaded, "You hug me, if I was wronged when I was a child, my father would always hold me in his arms and comfort me, but my mother was admitted to the hospital because of me, I didn't dare to tell them about me, and no one would want to listen to me." β
The surroundings were so beautiful that night that I suddenly wanted him to hug me, although I didn't allow it, but this hug had nothing to do with Fengyue, I just wanted someone who could hold all my tears and complaints.
