Nine
My parents decided to terminate the summer internship program early, they were worried about my health, I had pneumonia once when I was a child, and I almost lost my life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was no objection.
There were only a few days left in the summer vacation.
I seemed to be a little at a loss, I went up and down the house excitedly, played a few piano songs, went to the kitchen to listen to Shen's mother reminiscing about the past, and then went to the garden to pick fresh red roses and put them in all the vases......
After eating Chinese food, I stayed upstairs in the study and looked through old photos, sometimes looking at myself in the photos like a stranger......
Lin Mai came to me with brisk steps, wearing a black and white long-sleeved striped shirt, he seemed to be in a good mood, and took me to his thermostatic flower room to enjoy afternoon tea, exquisite British blueberry biscuits, with Brazilian coffee beans hand-ground fragrant coffee, very comfortable.
He was immersed in the labor of tinkering with the flowers and plants, and I took a copy of the English novel he brought back from England to read slowly.
"Do you want to spend the rest of the summer vacation?" he stood in front of a pineapple plant with scissors in his hand and looked at it for a long time.
"Whatever!" I replied without looking up, not planning at all.
"Your birthday is almost ......"
"Oh. ”
In the novel, the heroine, who was betrayed by the male protagonist, is running alone in the dark night against the storm......
If it were me, I didn't necessarily have that kind of courage, and I would rather hide alone and be injured.
Lin Mai said a few more words, and I didn't pay attention to the heroine's touch.
Staying at Lin's house for dinner before returning, he is used to eating Western food, and the chef invited by the family is naturally good at making Western food.
When I went back, I saw Chen Muye standing at the gate of my house.
I thought he had waited a long time.
"I've just arrived. There was a box of grapes at his feet, with the words "Farm So-and-so" written on it, "I went to the vineyard of the farm with my friends today to pick them, they are quite fresh and taste good, so I will send them to you in a hurry." ”
"Have you had dinner?" I led him in.
"I don't have much appetite, the weather in Nancheng is hot and humid, and I may still be a little unaccustomed. He said after me.
Shen's mother is here, my parents haven't come back yet, and I don't know anything about cooking.
"There's a lot of stuff in the kitchen," I poured for him...... "I poured him a cup of barley tea.
"Don't bother, if you don't mind, I'll wash some grapes and eat them together. ”
"It's fine. I instructed him to carry the grapes to the storage room next to the kitchen, put them in a crisper bag and put them in the refrigerator, and he washed some more and put them in a fruit bowl to take to the living room.
The two of us ate a few grapes, and I didn't deliberately find something to talk about.
It can be seen that he has little interest in grapes.
"It's my first time in the mansion, aren't you going to show me around?"
Somewhat surprised, visiting a private place? I don't think it's worth it enough.
"This house was purchased ten years ago, with a total of three floors, from the outside it looks in a typical modernist architectural style, without too many cumbersome decorations, and it is inferred that the designer is a pragmatist...... but he imagines himself to be the docent of the famous Qin Mansion, gushing endlessly.
"What about the house from 10 years ago?" he asked.
"There's a relative living in here, not far from here. ”
"Is it also a villa?"
"It's not. ”
"Apartment building?"
"It's not. "His questioning ruined my interest, and made me displeased, but he was only doing the friendship of the landlord, and he could not help but gain an inch. "Did you come by car?"
He was stunned.
"Drive me away?"
"It's not. I sat down impatiently on the couch.
"If you think the grapes are delicious, I can take you to that farm. I'm gone, good night. "He's funny, but he seems to be out of shape?
I only drove him to the gate of my house, and his car could not be driven into the villa area.
Watching him walk away, I feel that his back is a little lonely, blaming myself for not being close to people, why can't I be more patient with him than I am with others?
Zhou Xiaodou suddenly called me to make an appointment, it was a surprise to me, what would she become after three years of separation?
How has she been doing all these years?
Before I went to the appointment, I had a lot of imaginations about her......
The restaurant where I agreed to meet was located in the new district of Nancheng, and I parked my car in the parking space on the side of the road opposite the restaurant, and the road in Shinki was spacious and secluded.
It is a very high-end restaurant, and the beautiful reception lady took me to the private room booked by Zhou Xiaodou, and the environment inside is very comfortable and luxurious.
As soon as Zhou Xiaodou saw me, he rushed over and gave me a big hug.
"Xiaowan, I miss you so much......" Her voice choked, her eyes were red, and she still held my hand tightly after sitting down and refused to let go.
Looking at her, I was in a trance, my hair was cut short and dyed yellow, my face with makeup was gone, and I was dressed fashionably, I almost thought that she was not the Zhou Xiaodou I knew.
"You're still studying?" she asked.
"Yes, I will graduate next year. ”
"I really envy you, it's better to be a student! You look much younger than me, I'm old, right?"
"No. "I sigh, I can't see the years on my face covered with grease.
I miss, no, I miss Zhou Xiaodou who wears a ponytail and calls me Qin Xiaowan all day long, she is a high school student, her dream is to marry a rich man one day in the future, have two children, and grow up with them slowly.
After eating, we said goodbye outside the restaurant, and Zhou Xiaodou's boyfriend drove to pick her up.
"His family is very rich, he loves to play, and I am willing to accompany him. ”
"Will you marry him?"
"I don't know. She sighed softly, "My mom lost all the money my dad sent back from abroad, but fortunately the house I bought was my dad who paid off the loan, otherwise our family might have to sleep on the streets." ”
I complain about God's injustice, Zhou Xiaodou was born well-behaved, why did she arrange such an irresponsible mother for her?
"That dream of yours will come true!" I comforted her.
"Thank you. ”
Her boyfriend didn't get out of the car, nor did he say hello to me, I watched Zhou Xiaodou get into the car, the car drove away, she was still reluctantly waving at me, I couldn't help crying.
I should have reached out to her more, I reminded myself.
Without any warning, Lin Mai bought a ticket to Singapore.
"I didn't think there would be my share. "I looked at the ticket and was so happy.
"It's a birthday present for you, although I've only secured five days off, and I hope you're satisfied. ”
"Thank you. "I'm going to pack my bags.
"Just bring a change of dress. "Lin Mai explained to me.
Zhu Zhu heard Shen's mother say that I was going to Singapore, so she called me to complain.
"I want to go too. ”
"Okay!"
She laughed.
"Just kidding! It's a birthday present from Brother Mai, but I'm still waiting for you to come back from Singapore to make up for your birthday. ”
"Whatever you want. ”
I hung up the phone, I couldn't hide the excitement in my heart, I was so happy, I told myself.
Even though I knew that Lin Mai was going to stop by the branch office to handle official business when I arrived in Singapore, I was still grateful to him for arranging this trip.
I slept alone in his little apartment until the afternoon, and he had already prepared a hearty dinner.
"I don't dare to wake you up, if you don't sleep enough, go back to sleep after eating. ”
I feel like I've slept enough and I'm in good spirits.
"I'm going to go out to play after eating, whether you accompany me or not, I'm going to go. "I took a sip of the fragrant seafood choda soup.
"Of course I'll go with you. ”
I don't like the bustling streets, I yearn for a simple rural and natural life, but I was born in the city, and I grew up in the city with the prosperity of the city, if possible, I want to find a quiet place away from the city, where there are wild trees, unknown weeds growing on the roadside, and unknown wildflowers blooming in all seasons.
"Shall we take another one?" said Linmail, holding me back.
I stopped and rolled my eyes at the lens of his phone.
This photo on the banks of the Singapore River was later used by Lin Mai as the background of his mobile phone.
I think it's good to stand in front of the Queen's Square and dance in the wind, and dancing in the wind is a good artistic conception. But Lin Mai prefers the cute and naughty me.
Lin Mai and I went to the store to choose the right gift for everyone, he was very intimate to me to understand everyone's usual preferences, I told him, Zhu Zhu is more childish, he picked a cartoon necklace for me, there is a winged pig hanging on the slender chain, I like it very much, I almost want to take it for myself, I also said that Zhou Xiaodou is inferior by nature, but he is born not to admit defeat, he chose a bright red lipstick, I think Zhou Xiaodou will like it......
We returned with a full load, lying on the carpet in the small apartment to write cards, which is also Lin Mai's creativity, the written small cards are pasted on the packaging box of each gift, I believe that the person who receives the gift will be very happy!
Halfway through writing, I fell asleep, Lin Mai carried me to the bed to sleep, and he insisted on writing the rest of the cards alone before resting.
The next morning, I woke up early and looked at the cards on the gift boxes, it turned out that he had also prepared a gift for Chen Muye, and when I saw the words on the cards, I was a little moved: I wish Mr. Chen Muye all the best on the way to realize his dream!
Could it be that Chen Muye told Lin Mai that he had a dream that he wanted to realize?
