The reason why Zhu Zhu came back from Shanghai and was shining all over his body turned out to be because of Haonan. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info they met on the flight from Nancheng to Shanghai, and they have a good impression of each other, Haonan is a very quiet boy, a typical science and engineering man, one year older than Zhu Zhu, engaged in financial services, Nancheng people, good family background. In front of us, there are few words and expressions, but Zhu Zhu is extremely considerate and careful.
"What should Chen Muye do?" I deliberately teased Zhu Zhu.
"Just a little bit of admiration for him, don't think about it. Zhu Zhu pushed it all away.
I often don't answer the phone calls from Lin Mai, and I spend more and more time in the Momo dessert shop.
"What are you hiding?" asked the koala.
A flash of consternation flashed in my eyes, and I was always being seen through by others, which made me feel very insecure.
"I pay every time, do you still hate me?"
"But I'm not a refuge here. "She's cold to the point.
The pain made my heart tremble.
"Zhu Zhu has a boyfriend, what about you?" I deliberately diverted the topic.
On the day of the opening of the new store, Tony Chan came back from abroad, and she went to the airport to greet her, and Tony Chan walked in front of her with his wife and children talking and laughing, without looking at her.
It's like being stabbed in an old wound again.
That night, she came to me to cry, crying in front of me so much that her facial features were twisted and her heart was about to break.
"When will you quit?" I asked her.
"Why do you want to quit spicy? He is not the only one in the world who eats spicy. "She's really in love with spicy food.
"It's good that you understand. "I don't want to leave her room open.
The sunlight shines through the glass and casts a soft thin powder on her face.
"The first time I saw Lin Mai, I was stunned, too similar to him, and sad, it turned out that when we met, he owed me a youth. After listening to this, I felt a little comforted in my heart, and she seemed to be slowly beginning to let go.
At the mention of Lin Mai, my heart twitched violently. Like a lost relative, hearing the name will also be inexplicably sentimental for a long time.
Girls in love especially love to look in the mirror.
Just drinking a cup of coffee, Zhu Zhu's hand does not leave the mirror.
"You're beautiful. "Love is like a magic pill, it has the effect of changing the old into a new one.
"How can you be beautiful. “
"Am I beautiful?" has a plain face every day, and even he is tired of looking at himself.
"Your aura is enough to overwhelm a lot of people. ”
I laughed at myself.
"Because my dad is Qin Tian, besides, what else do I have to cover a lot of people?"
"You have a big halo on your head, so no one else can see the little halo on you. But I can see it, because we're always close!" Zhu Zhu pouted in the mirror and touched up some lipstick. "Would you like some?"
"No, I don't. ”
Haonan walked towards us.
"Two beauties, can I sit down?" he smiled and sat next to Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu put away the makeup mirror.
"Am I beautiful?" she asked Haonan with a sweet smile.
"Beautiful. Haonan smiled like a well-behaved cat, and he was also in love for the first time, and I think the two of them fit very well.
I didn't want to continue to look at them in front of me, and got up to say goodbye.
Passing by the school's basketball court, I couldn't help but stop and watch.
"It's a long skirt today! Your hair is long! Are you ready to grow long hair?" Chen Muye, who was dressed in a jersey, jumped in front of me with a basketball and a beautiful closing action.
I looked at the overcrowded stadium and felt pity.
"I can't play against you. ”
"Of course there is a way. Follow me. "He took me to the parking lot and drove me to his neighborhood.
It turns out that there is also a basketball court inside, which is still very new. Nothing is playing.
"Then what is your purpose in sacrificing the near and far?"
"Let's play first!" he tossed me the basketball in his hand.
It's another hearty foul game. I don't care if I win or lose, but I can't help but get serious fouls all the time. He would still angrily accuse me of being indifferent.
After playing, the two went to rest on the balcony of his house.
We still only have mineral water to drink.
"Your skills haven't improved at all. He complained.
"Even if it's my opportunism!"
He touched the bottle against the bottle.
"We are one of the same kind. Cheers!"
I wondered.
"Tell me about it. ”
"Didn't you ask me what was the purpose of going to your school to play basketball?"
I nodded.
"Because I fell in love with a girl, in order to meet her, to create more opportunities to get close to her. You say, is it opportunistic?"
"A little bit!"
"If I say that girl is you, the daughter of our chairman. Will it feel stronger?"
I was surprised, not because he liked me, but because he was honest.
"How do you describe me? The toad wants to eat swan meat?" he laughed and teased himself.
"The last time I saw you and a girl pulling on the street...... "Confession is no longer lethal to me."
"Yes? That's my ex-girlfriend, the one in the picture, she's beautiful, talented, but not my ideal type. She is the same as me, with the most ordinary background, she is worse than me, there is also a blind mother at home, she has been strong since she was a child, she is very hard, she was admitted to the best university in Nancheng, but unfortunately when she met me, I walked with her and felt more sympathy than love. She loves me more, but love is not all, it is for anyone. He briefly summed up his first love to me, it is rare to see someone who can be so sober in the face of love?
"She doesn't want to break up?"
"She was stubborn, even paranoid. It's been almost a year since we broke up, and she still won't give up, I moved here just to avoid her, and it's not easy to buy a small apartment like this in Nancheng with my financial strength, and my parents have done everything for me. “
"Your whole family is in debt just to avoid her?" I naturally favored the girl.
"Count it as a cause!" he smiled wryly. "Don't talk about it, I'm a little tired, I'll send you home. ”
When I got home, I had just finished taking a shower and Lin Mai called me.
"At home?" he asked me.
"Yes. ”
"I'm still in the company and haven't eaten. ”
"Where's Secretary Qiu?"
"She has something at home, so she doesn't have time to care about me. ”
"What a pitiful thing to say, do you want me to bring you something to eat?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you. He hung up happily.
I'm in a bit of a trance, why can I quickly regain my sense of intimacy as long as I hear his voice, and indulge in it desperately?
I went to Zuixianlou to buy Lin Mai's favorite barbecued pork rice.
"I owe you in my last life. I complained to him, but it was actually a helpless sense of satisfaction.
He just laughed.
After eating the barbecued pork rice I bought, he touched my short hair with satisfaction.
"How can I thank you for saving the Seven Syndicates?"
"It's so easy to sign a long-term cooperation agreement. ”
"Good idea. ”
He grabbed his coat and prepared to leave work.
It was drizzling outside, and he put his arm around my shoulders and almost embraced me into his arms.
I was comfortably leaning against his chest, I was used to the smell of him, and I hated my dependence on him.
Scolding while enjoying it.
He changed to a black van, and I began to miss the way he drove a sports car again.
"It turns out that people's preferences really change with age. Am I more suitable for driving a car like this now?" he asked me.
I wonder if what he said was true or not.
"You're handsome in a tractor. ”
He laughed happily.
Because of the rain, I read a book at home all morning. By the time the rainy season was over, it was time for me to graduate, and the rest of my class had already started shuttling through job fairs with their carefully crafted resumes.
To end or to continue my school life?
Lin Mai called to have lunch with me, and I told Shen's mother to stir-fry two more dishes.
"Miss Wan, Young Master Mai hasn't come to the house for dinner for a long time. "Lin Mai's gentlemanly demeanor left a good impression on Shen's mother, and she often mentioned him in front of me.
"He's too busy. "I had another answer in mind.
The Chinese food is ready to be put on the table, Lin Mai has not arrived yet, and I am too lazy to urge him, he is a person with a very sense of time. Half an hour passed, and he finally appeared, and while eating, I pretended to protest.
"If you're busy, call me to cancel!
He apologized to me, and he was looking more and more like a mature and savvy businessman.
I think that his current appearance may be what Qin Wan will look like in the near future.
"I'm about to become a workaholic, and my dad's way of forcing marriage is unique. ”
"You didn't think about a strike?"
"I respect their choice. ”
He eventually gave in, I think.
"Do you have classes in the afternoon?"
"Nope. "Even if there is a class, I won't go because of the rain.
"What are the classmates up to?"
I smiled wryly.
"I'm busy submitting resumes. ”
"You voted too?"
I put down my chopsticks.
"No, it seems that I am the only one who has nothing to do, anyway, I don't need to find a job, and it is still a high-paying job that ordinary people can't hope for. ”
He looked at me with pity. I was so ridiculous that he and I were already in the same fate.
"Why don't you think that's a lucky thing?"
Yes, people often use the word lucky, why do I have so easily something that others might spend a lifetime not necessarily get? And not hypocrisy!
I stood beside the sofa and watched Lin Mai leave through the glass, and before leaving, he kissed me lightly on the forehead and told me to answer his call.
The rain on the glass blurred his back.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Muye called and asked me to help pick up his parents at the airport.
"Because it's work time, I can't find friends who can help. ”
Looking at the rain outside, I hesitated.
"If not, I'll find someone else. His voice sounded anxious.
I promised him that I would go, hung up the phone and regretted it.
I remember that the last time my car drove to deliver dinner to Lin Mai, it had been parked in the underground parking lot of the seven headquarters.
Before I go out, I dress up. Waterproof pants and rain boots come in handy.
I took a taxi to pick up the car at the seven headquarters first, and I didn't bother Lin Mai, but later, he knew that I didn't go to him.
Because of the rainy and foggy weather, the flight was delayed in a large area, and the airport was full of anxious faces, so we could only wait, Chen Muye came to meet me after work, and until it was dark, we couldn't wait for the Chen family's parents.
A feeling of physical and mental exhaustion.
"I'll buy you something to eat. Chen Muye looked discouraged.
"Forget it, I'm not hungry. "I've drunk two bottles of mineral water and I feel like my stomach is full and I can't hold anything else.
"My parents wanted to see the new house I bought. "Chen Muye showed me the photos on his mobile phone, a pair of simple parents who looked honest.
"They must be proud of you. ”
"I'm not doing enough. ”
"You're humble. ”
"I had to take money from my family to buy a house, and I was a failure. ”
I laugh, failure? We have different understandings.
The airport staff are busy calming down the depressed people, and it is difficult to convince the people who want to fly away but can't, why do they have to issue tickets if the plane can't take off normally in the rain? The emotional middle-aged man smashed the boxed lunch delivered by the airport to the floor angrily, the pale-faced customer service lady lowered her head and carefully cleaned up, the middle-aged man rushed to another city to participate in the final negotiations, and the jobs of three or four hundred people in the factory were in danger, he was very angry understandably, everyone has all kinds of reasons to vent their dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts, only calm and restraint. Those of us who were waiting for the plane to land, cautiously asking the airport authorities for updates on the progress, and trying to get in touch with those we were waiting for, the rain chattering outside seemed to be gloating, and it was getting harder and harder.
It was dark, everyone was getting tired, and they began to go to the hotel arranged by the airport to rest, and the airport hall slowly became quiet.
"Otherwise, we will ......," I advised Chen Muye, who was still waiting.
He shook his head.
“…… They were at least relieved to see me. "He was very stubborn and asked for peace of mind.
I accompanied him to eat instant noodles, and he quickly ate them.
"Only when you have eaten enough can you have the spirit to continue waiting. He pulled himself together, as if he was about to meet his parents.
I really wanted to go home, and the customer service lady seemed to see through my mind and smiled at me from time to time. My mom called and asked where I was, I told her at the airport, she didn't ask why, she just thought I was going to run away from home, she hung up the phone in fright, I called again, she didn't answer. I guess she must have panicked and asked the driver to take her to the airport to find me.
Chen Muye stood in front of the glass, and a focused face was reflected inside.
I approached him.
He looked as close to the glass as he could, the dim light faint in the rain.
"There's so much rain in the south that I didn't like it here from the beginning. ”
"Then why did you stay for four or five years?"
"It has its advantages, advantages that I can't refuse. ”
"You gain more than you lose, and you must have a trade-off. ”
He turned to look at me and smiled.
"You seem to understand me very well, and this feeling is better than I thought. ”
It's time for me to go home.
"My mom'...... there"
He nodded.
"Let's go! Drive carefully!"
Before leaving, I asked the customer service lady to pay more attention to Chen Muye, and I was always worried that he would become a manic person after I left.
"Don't worry, I will advise him to go to the hotel to rest first. The customer service lady reassured me again and again in a soft voice.
I walked out of the airport gate, the rain was still falling, and I silently prayed in my heart that the rain would stop soon. The driver arrived just with my mother, and sure enough, it was Mrs. Qin, and the person who was in a hurry to find her daughter was also meticulously dressed.
As soon as the car stopped, she eagerly opened the door and rushed down, stepped forward and hugged me.
"Wan baby, I won't tell your dad, come home with me. ”
I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't laugh, follow her into the car, she inevitably nagged, I didn't have a chance to explain, I just leaned on her arms and listened to her nagging quietly, and soon fell asleep, her nagging and Lin Mai's nagging have the same hypnotic effect.
In the middle of the night, Chen Muye called me to wake me up.
"The rain stopped, and my parents arrived safely in the south city. He cheered on the phone, and I hummed, threw the phone aside, and rolled over, as if I had slept more soundly.
The rainy season ended early, but my graduation ceremony had not yet arrived, the sky was clear, and the blue sky and white clouds that I had not seen for a long time made the south city look new, and I felt very energetic in everything I did. After all, it is a city, and within three days, all kinds of pollution will take the opportunity to wreak havoc, and the southern city seems to be covered with a layer of gray, gradually making people feel inexplicably bored and tired.
Chen Muye came to the school to find me, originally Xiaofeng said that she wanted to come from Guancheng to have dinner with me, but she had something to cancel temporarily, I told her on the phone to take care of herself alone, hesitated and hung up the phone.
I would love to suggest that she get a job in Southtown, and I can help her, but thankfully I didn't say it.
"My parents only cook hometown food, it's their heart, you will eat some. "Chen Muye drove me to his house, talking non-stop along the way. "They like generous and decent girls, I didn't tell them about your family history, I'll talk about it slowly later. They brought some souvenirs from home, and if they give them to you, you still accept them, and if you don't accept them, it is rude according to our teachings. ”
It made me nervous, too.
"It seems that I only say it when I bring my girlfriend to meet my parents, but we are just ordinary friends, so we don't have to abide by it, right?"
"I hope you comply. "Isn't he just as stubborn? He also said that his ex-girlfriend was stubborn and extreme.
Don't think about my feelings at all?
The Chen family's parents were very hospitable, but when I saw them, I became calm and natural, and I didn't deliberately try to please them. They made a table of hometown dishes, looking at the "shocking" chili peppers in the bowl, I couldn't help it, even the green vegetables were added to the salty homemade pickled peppers, so I could only eat more white rice, and they kept picking vegetables for me.
"Nowadays, girls say that they want to lose weight all day long, you are so thin, how can your body be good if you just eat vegetables? "Chen's mother is only a few years older than my mother, but she looks much older on the outside, and there are some gaps, which you can't ignore if you say you don't care.
I barely ate some of the dishes they had sandwiched, and tears came out of my eyes, still smiling and praising them for their ability.
Chen Muye understood my patience and sent me home as soon as he finished eating.
"You drink plenty of warm water, and soon it won't be spicy. ”
"I want to cry!" I said loudly, expressing my inner and physical discomfort.
He smiled and reached out to grab my stomach, and threw the whole person into his arms, and I struggled for a while before giving up.
"I'm sorry! It's a test! I swear I won't. ”
The unfamiliar smell on his body reminded me of Lin Mai......
The car carried the two of us through the glittering city of Ambilight.
"Your parents gave me those souvenirs and I like them quite a bit, Shen's mother used to live in the countryside, and often listened to her talk about things in the countryside, I haven't lived in the countryside, I have a little yearning, these things are given to Shen's mother, she must like it better than me." ”
"I will ask Mother Shen to stew delicious japonica rice porridge for you according to the practice of our hometown. After arriving at my house, he carried those things directly to the kitchen to find Shen's mother, and I kept laughing next to me.
"Shen's mother went home at night. ”
"You don't remind me either. He put those things in the storage room and told me that when Shen's mother came tomorrow, I must call him and let them communicate. I agreed, thinking he was verbose, and urged him to leave quickly.
"Chairman, are they often not at home with you?" he asked me as he walked towards the gate.
"It's fine. "I saw that the red roses in the garden were still blooming. "Wait a minute, I'll give you something in return. "I went to the tool room and got gardening scissors, intending to cut some red roses for them.
"They don't know how to appreciate. "Chen Muye felt that my gift was not worth giving.
"You haven't given it to them yet. "I carefully wrapped the cut red roses in old newspapers and handed them to Chen Muye. "Don't think that what you think is what they think. ”
"Alright!" he reluctantly accepted the bouquet. "Then what flowers should I give you, why do you grow so many beautiful red roses yourself?"
I think it's funny.
"What flowers do I have to report to you first?
He walked to the door, stopped, and turned to raise the bouquet in his hand.
"Be careful, those flowers!" I reminded him.
