Chapter 24 Recuperation

Cheng Lin put a lot of thought into the choice of movies, the movie "2046" staged during this period was too mysterious, only suitable for adolescent literary and artistic youth or petty bourgeoisie who engaged in celibacy self-comfort and intoxication; "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" was too noisy and did not suit his appetite; "King Arthur" lacked space, and he didn't need to drag a woman who had become reality to pursue some legendary ideals and hopes and the like; Lin Lin made various choices, he bought "Dragon and Phoenix Fight", which was quite chic and interesting.

Liu is sitting next to Cheng Lin, watching the heroes and heroines in the movie fighting back and forth, feeling a little bored, and whispering: "Is it interesting?"

"It's not bad!" Cheng Lin smiled, these games are not suitable for ordinary people, just take a look, "Don't you think they are full of us?"

Liu is glaring at him, looking back at the movie, and watching it patiently. Her adolescent ideal was to earn money, earn a lot of money, Prince Charming came to save her, and after waiting for many years of disappointment, she was almost no longer interested in these, and she couldn't understand why two people who were obviously affectionate had to fight back and forth?

At the end of the movie, the male protagonist is peacefully recuperating at the foot of the Alps, waiting for death to come, and the female protagonist is confused in the face of all the documents about the transfer of property, there is music playing, and there are low cries of women around her. Liu is lips pursed and got up, Cheng Lin immediately stood up and escorted her out.

"How do you feel?" Cheng Lin smiled, "I don't think you're very interested?"

Liu is shrugged and said, "I don't know if the male protagonist really loves the female protagonist, or is his death also used as a trick against the female protagonist?"

Cheng Lin was puzzled: "What do you say?"

"Don't you think that man is despicable, he left all his possessions to the woman, and died alone, do you think that the heroine will forget him for the rest of the time? The cat looks well-behaved and very smart, but the occasional sharp claw can make people feel funny, probably that man has such a mentality, right? Of course, this is my personal opinion!" Liu is looking at the crowd walking by, "It's strange, people want to stay with the person they love the most before they know that they are going to die!"

Cheng Lin took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "That's just a movie!"

"Of course, I only watch it as a movie!"

"Men are sometimes as strange as women.,I don't know what I want!The biggest joy of that male protagonist is probably when he and the female protagonist find a way to compete for something.。 He knew that he was going to die, on the one hand, he didn't want to bind the heroine, and on the other hand, he was reluctant, so he would give her everything he had in this way before leaving, which was also his love! Look, hasn't he achieved everything he wants?" Cheng Lin took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "Don't talk about this, let's go find something to eat?"

Liu is raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "It's too late, it's time to go back!"

"I'll send you back!"

The two stood on the side of the street in front of the movie theater, watching the traffic coming and going, flashing neon.

"Brother, buy a flower for my sister!" A little girl grabbed Cheng Lin's trouser leg and raised her little face, with a few roses wrapped in cheap plastic paper in her hand. The flowers are also not fresh, the moisture of the petals has been lost, and there is no appearance of spirit.

Liu is looking at Cheng Lin wanted to reach out and push but didn't dare to push hard, and the girl who wanted to walk away but hugged his leg and couldn't walk away, Cheng Lin looked at Liu is who was watching the joke on the side, and said helplessly: "Sister, you should come to help, right?"

"Hey, what's the matter with me?" Ryu looked in the direction the bus was coming from.

Cheng Lin saw that Liu was about to slip away again, so he hurriedly took out a fifty yuan bill and said, "I bought it all, you can go quickly!"

The little girl stuffed the flower into Lin's hand, showed him a pure and immaculate smile, and ran away as soon as she slipped away. Cheng Lin shook his head and walked to Liu is side, threw the flower into Liu is hand, and said, "I bought it for you, take it!"

Liu is glanced at it and said, "Who wants it?"

"Sister, I can treat you as an ordinary woman, ordinary women want to receive flowers from others, whether they like it or not, they have to say thank you!" Cheng Lin smiled and said, "You should thank me!"

"How stupid it is to hold a handful of flowers!" Liu is holding the flowers, a little helpless in her heart, and a little happy, she is not a little girl, this flower came a little late, and the person is wrong, "Thank you!"

"Sister, I'm just an ordinary man, an ordinary man is an ordinary woman, just like the right couple!" Cheng Lin smiled and said, "The car is coming, let's go up!" After speaking, he took Liu Yes's hand and ran over. Liu is holding the flower in one hand, and being pulled by Cheng Lin with the other, trying to break free, but being held by Cheng Lin.

There were few people in the car at night, and Cheng Lin occupied two seats on the tail of the car. Liu is sat down, gently took off Cheng Lin's hand, held the flower between his hands, and said, "I told you not to move your hands and feet!"

"Hey!" Cheng Lin smiled, he wouldn't listen to such words. From the perspective of human relationships, if you want to take the initiative to strengthen the connection between two strangers, one person must take the initiative to say something close and do something that makes two people feel close. He will use this method to make Liu close to him in words, actions, and finally thoughts, then, that is the day of his success. At present, Liu is no longer reluctant to call him her sister, nor does he reject some of the ambiguous language he occasionally utters, although he is still a little resistant to his touch, but compared with those two slaps, it is much better. Cheng Lin's heart was sweet, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face, and he smiled at him while looking sideways at Liu Shi.

Liu was frightened by Cheng Lin's smile, and said, "Look at what I'm doing, look at the front!"

"Sister, did everyone say that you are beautiful?" Cheng Lin smiled, "Men can't help but look at you!"

Liu is laughing, she has always known that she is beautiful, and some people have said that she is good-looking, but no one said it in such a fasciated tone like Cheng Lin. She said lightly, "Don't say it!" If she continues to say more, she may really not be able to control her heartbeat. She turned her head to look at the rainbow flashing outside the window, a little lonely.

Cheng Lin's hand gently patted Liu is shoulder twice, as if to comfort him, Liu is not refused.

Cheng Lin sent Liu is to the door of the house, watched her walk in without looking back, stood at the gate of the community for a while, smoked a cigarette, and took a taxi home to work.

Liu is home, and there is no one at home. Wang Juan and her mother are probably not coming back. After she washed herself, she lay on the bed, and Cheng Lin's sentence kept echoing in her mind, "Sister, I'm just an ordinary man, and ordinary men are just the right pair for ordinary women!" She couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so she simply got up and hugged her knees, she was indeed just an ordinary woman.

***************

Cheng Lin adjusted his schedule and considered how to reassure his parents.

During the period of store decoration, he got up at nine o'clock every morning, and then went to Liu Yes's store with his computer to squat, stayed in the attic and listened to Liu is discussing the decoration plan with Lin Shengjie; at noon, he and Liu would find a restaurant to eat casually; at night, Liu would buy vegetables and cook at home, and Cheng Lin would follow him to eat; after eating, Cheng Lin would go back to his parents to pretend to be pitiful.

Liu is Cheng Lin, who was full of smiles, had no choice but to let him do as he pleased, and the owner of that house was Wang Juan, since Wang Juan didn't have any language, she didn't have much to say.

Liu is heart wondered, how could a man abandon the love he was trying to get in a short period of time and turn to pursue other women? She silently observed the words and actions of Cheng Lin and Wang Juan. The two of them still spoke very affectionately, after all, they had been familiar with each other for twenty years, but Cheng Lin didn't seem to pat Wang Juan's head or pull her arm from time to time like before.

While Ryu was observing the two men, her mother was also observing her. She was quite worried when she saw that her daughter's eyes kept on the young man, but she couldn't say what she wanted to say.

When Cheng Lin was cooking, he was in the kitchen asking questions, and his sister was calling more affectionately, is this sugar, is this salt, what is the difference between soy sauce and vinegar? Liu was annoyed and asked him to go out, but he had to say help.

Wang Juan hid at the door of the kitchen, secretly took a photo with her mobile phone, and sent it to her husband. Liu Cai only replied with two words, boring.

After dinner, Cheng Lin drove back to his parents' house.

Aunt Wu was also very confused during this time, her son has always been assertive and she is very clear as a mother, she doesn't dare to put too much pressure on her son, wouldn't it be worse if it backfires? Professor Cheng looked like he didn't care, he looked at his newspapers and magazines as usual every day, and leisurely went to Father Wang to play chess and drink tea, which made Aunt Wu's heart burn.

"You really don't care about this?" asked Aunt Wu.

"What's the matter? What do you say?" Professor Cheng put down the magazine.

"Isn't it just that I can't ask you?" Aunt Wu was angry.

"Hey, that stinky boy has a big idea, if he is really anxious, he will definitely find a way to drag someone to get the certificate directly, and you can't help it when you say it!" Professor Cheng smiled, "Isn't it said that Liu disagrees now, I think Liu does not agree because he feels that it is not suitable for that stinky boy, and Liu is attitude is more important at this stage?"

"That'...... , I'll go look for Liu again?" Aunt Wu asked tentatively.

Professor Cheng shook his head, "What are you looking for her?

Aunt Wu sat on the sofa and said hatefully, "You said this stinky boy ......"

As he was talking, he heard the sound of stopping. Aunt Wu poked her head out, saw the familiar car, and pouted, "It's back again!"

Professor Cheng smiled faintly, I'm afraid this kid is not as simple as pretending to be obedient. Playing chess with Lao Wang in the past few days, I heard him talk about Cheng Lin eating at Wang Juan's house, and I thought that this kid was to appease the emotions on both sides first, and delay the time to act on his own. It's a good idea, but it's too much to ignore his father. Professor Cheng took a sip of tea and saw Cheng Lin push open the door and come in, his face sad.

Aunt Wu said, "What, it's back again?"

Cheng Lin obediently walked over, sat next to Aunt Wu, and said, "It's better to be at home!"

Aunt Wu has a little pride, this dead boy, she didn't know that the family was okay until she suffered a loss outside?" "I said you, you don't have anything serious to do every day, why don't you find a job to do?" Aunt Wu said lightly, as long as you have a job, you should not have so much free time to pester Liu every day, right?

"Mom, I want to cultivate!" Cheng Lin went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of soup to drink, and his mother had prepared soup for him for supper in the past few days.

Aunt Wu snorted coldly, didn't say much, and went to sleep in the bedroom.

Professor Cheng saw Aunt Wu going upstairs, and said lightly: "Stinky boy, stop a little, you run over there and here every day, and you have to get up in the middle of the night to do this and that, tossing your mother too hard!"

Cheng Lin immediately leaned over and said, "Dad, do you see it?"

Professor Cheng smiled proudly, "Just your little bit of Taoism, shallow!"

Cheng Lin immediately came to his senses and said, "Dad, then tell me, how did you pursue your mother in the first place?"

Professor Cheng picked up the magazine, got up and went upstairs, and said, "Think about it yourself, I won't say much! The marriage of children is predestined, but don't let your mother worry too much." You're tired of running around like this every day, aren't you? Just take care of your body!"

Cheng Lin smiled and nodded, it seems that there is no problem on Dad's side, Mom has to grind slowly!
