CHAPTER XXXI
Before the laughter of the two stopped, they saw a small black image rushing over like a small cannonball, which turned out to be a little boy of three or four years old, walking on small short legs, chasing an electric car, but accidentally hit Ye Ying Ning.
Jiang Bin hurriedly supported the little boy, helped him pick up the toy car that had fallen into the grass, stuffed it into his hand, and whispered: "Run slowly, don't fall." ”
The mother of the child who caught up hurriedly apologized to the night baby Ning Dao, and asked the child Xie Lu to thank Jiang Bin.
"Uncle Xie Lu, Xie. ”
The little boy was holding the toy car, and the milk said a word, and then his mother took him by the hand. After taking a few steps, he turned around, winked playfully at Jiang Bin and Ye Yingning, and waved his hand.
The child's father stood in the distance waiting for the mother and son, stretched out his hand and patted the boy's buttocks lightly, the mother was inevitably distressed, stepped forward to squeeze her husband's arm, took her son's hand, and the family of three continued to walk along the embankment. Two pairs of big hands holding a pair of small hands, that scene looks really warm.
Ye Ying Ning looked at it for a long time, and her eyes were sour.
"This kid is a little naughty......"
Jiang Bin on the side couldn't help but smile and said, and before he finished speaking, he noticed Ye Yingning's emotions and hurriedly stopped.
She grudgingly smiled at him, staring down at the tip of her shoe, and after a few seconds, she was back to normal.
"Jiang Bin, you are a few years older than me, if you don't find a wife, Aunt Zhao will not let you come to the door to eat in the future. Although you are busy with work, your leaders will not even give time to solve personal problems, right?"
Thinking that before leaving, Zhao Zixiu asked himself to help persuade Jiang Bin, and Ye Yingning changed the topic.
Jiang Bin stretched out his hand and patted the back of his head, and said helplessly: "Let's take a walk, why did you talk about me again?" In modern society, everyone is under so much pressure, and it is normal to be single in your thirties. I caught one in a daze and went to get married, and after I got married, I found that it was wrong, wouldn't there be another pair of resentful couples in the world?"
Seeing that he said the truth, Ye Yingning couldn't refute it, after thinking about it, she smiled and said: "Then don't be confused, find someone who is in love, I remember that Xiao Deng in your unit seems to have a good impression of you, the last time we were on video, didn't she bring you breakfast......"
Because of the time difference, the two of them occasionally contacted online, and one of them was always in the morning, and that time, Jiang Bin, who happened to have a female colleague who had worked overtime all night, took the initiative to bring his own breakfast, which made him very ashamed.
Jiang Bin was introverted, and it was not easy to refuse in person, and he didn't want to accept the other party's kindness again and again, so he had to hide from Xiao Deng from then on, like a cat and mouse.
"I, I...... I didn't have ......"
When he heard Ye Ying Ning say this, he was even more embarrassed, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
"Okay, no kidding you, you see your face is red. ”
Ye Ying Ning laughed, raised her wrist to look at the time, "It's time for me to go back to the hotel, let's go back, my suitcase is still in your car." ”
The two of them returned side by side along the same road, it was almost nine o'clock, and the people who walked gradually went home, and there were many fewer people by the river, from the noisy and noisy just now, to a little quieter.
"Don't you plan to stay a few more days? At the beginning of last year, the unit had benefits, so I followed the trend and bought another house, which is only a five-minute walk from the unit. So the house was empty before, and if you come back, you will have a place to stay. ”
Thinking that Ye Ying Ning would leave in two days, coming and going in a hurry, Jiang Bin was also a little reluctant.
"To be honest, in fact, I'm very afraid of this city now, too many memories, too many people and things I don't want to face, and anything I see will touch the scene, just like ......"
She was stunned, and she couldn't help but think of the family of three just now, a loving husband and wife, and lovely children, who seemed ordinary, but all of them were what she envied but couldn't ask for.
Jiang Bin understood her embarrassment and pain, sighed, and didn't say anything more. He walked briskly to the car, opened the trunk, and helped her remove her luggage.
Ye Ying Ning looked at him, not because he didn't understand his inner thoughts. It's just that she can't understand, once she understands, how will the two of them face each other in the future and how to get along calmly.
She took the suitcase, took out two paper bags, and put them back in the trunk.
"One is for you, and the other is a gift for the girl you meet on a date in the future, so that you don't know what to give, and you have to worry. ”
Night Infant Ning said carefully, at this moment, she seems to be a little older than Jiang Bin.
"I don't lack anything, don't break the bank in the future. He raised an eyebrow, knowing that the gift she gave must be worth a lot of money, and she lived alone in a foreign country, and there were many places to spend it.
"I made it myself, and it's not expensive at all. ”
She blinked, smirking triumphantly. Turning around and holding the lever of the suitcase, Ye Ying Ning waved at Jiang Bin, the hotel gate was close at hand, and it would be a few steps away.
He wanted to send her into the hotel, but he was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he forced himself to stay where he was and watched her leave.
Su Qingchi's wedding was held in this hotel, and she helped Ye Ying Ning book a room in advance, just waiting for her to come back to Zhonghai to witness the most important day in her life.
Open the door with the room card, hand the tip to the waiter who helped him with his luggage, Ye Ying Ning looked at the room in front of him, and then called Su Qingchi.
Back then, in the second month after she arrived in London, Ye Ying Ning took the initiative to contact Su Qingchi, who had just returned to Zhonghai with Duan Rui, and asked her to keep this secret for herself.
And Su Qingchi, who had been in tears all day long since she learned that Ye Ying Ning was on the missing plane, was simply surprised and delighted the moment she received her call, and couldn't believe the news.
Ye Ying Ning put down her luggage, took a simple shower, and called Su Qingchi to report her safety.
The bride is naturally the busiest, and sure enough, on the phone, she is still making the most final decisions with the stylist and the costume artist. I have to get up at four o'clock tomorrow morning to put on makeup and change my wedding dress, and I see that I have entered the countdown to the wedding.
"Ying Ning, will you come to my room to sleep tonight?" Su Qingchi begged, but Duan Rui, who was beside him, snorted as if his throat was uncomfortable when he heard this.
"Don't, Duan Rui will kill me. I know that he suffers from a severe 'sticky wife', and the time he has been separated from you in the past three years can only be counted in hours, and if he doesn't see you all night, I'm afraid he will go crazy. ”
Ye Ying Ning refused with a smile, and then chatted with Su Qingchi for a while before hanging up the phone.
Lying on the bed, her eyes open, tired, but not sleepy.
In the past two years, because she often has to travel with Wu Chengjun to inspect the market, she has to travel almost every week and stay in hotels large and small in the world. At first, it was naturally novel, but later, she had developed the ability to fall asleep quickly when she fell.
It's just that tonight is an exception, in the land of his hometown, insomnia.
It seems that as soon as you close your eyes, you can see the eyes of the man who are as black as ink and bottomless, as if you can smell the strong smell of blood.
I thought I had forgotten it a long time ago, but I didn't want those past events to be implanted in the bone marrow and integrated into the blood, and I could completely crush her at any time.
As a result, this sleepless night seems to be extraordinarily long......
