CHAPTER XXXIX

This night, two people who obviously had nothing to talk about made an unprecedented phone call for a long time.

Cheng Luyang asked her: "Is it a stomachache and a pain, and you can't sleep?"

At this time, Qin Zhen had already gotten into the quilt, and responded in a low voice, his face was still a little hot.

What is this called, every time the eldest aunt comes, he participates.

Cheng Luyang said: "Did you go to bed?"

"Hmm. ”

"Where's the quilt?"

"Hmm. ”

"Alright, you can just sleep like this for now. ”

Qin Zhen was curious, "What about you?"

"I'll sleep when you're asleep. Cheng Luyang found a comfortable position on the sofa and lay down, and took a book from the coffee table, "Aren't you unable to sleep? ”

"Big brother, are you such a waste of phone bills?" Qin Zhen had a black line.

"You care about me!" Cheng Luyang smiled, "Okay, sleep with you, if you want to speak, just say it directly, I'll listen." ”

Qin Zhen's heart was pounding, and a warm emotion was fermenting in his chest, and it was about to spread out.

She always knew that Cheng Luyang was a person who was indifferent on the outside but meticulous in his heart, but when he gave her such tenderness and thoughtfulness without reservation, she felt very complicated in her heart.

It is joyful, joyful, apprehensive, and at the same time uneasy.

She rested on the pillow, listening to the occasional sound of turning the page, and became more and more unable to sleep.

After a long time, she called in a low voice: "Cheng Luyang?"

"Haven't slept yet?" he asked her rhetorically.

"Can't sleep. Qin Zhen turned over, and there was a ghost when he could sleep on the phone like this!, "Otherwise, you read to me what book you are reading, right?"

Cheng Luyang snorted, "Just know that the Dao is calling me, okay, uncle, I'm in a good mood today, you wait!"

He also pretended to clear his throat, and Qin Zhen listened attentively, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would speak fluent British English.

“Everybodyinourfamilyhasdifferenthair.MyPapa'shairislikeabroom,allupintheair. Andme,myhairislazy. Itneverobeysbarrettesorbands.”

……

“Butmymother'shair,mymother'shair,likelittlerosettes,likelittledycirclesallcurlyandprettybecauseshepiinpincurlsallday……”

Qin Zhen hasn't touched English for many years, even if this paragraph is actually very simple, she can only understand a rough idea. But Cheng Luyang's voice was low and pleasant, like coming from a distant star, with bright starlight and gentle brilliance.

When he was studying, Qin Zhen preferred Yingyin to Meiyin. She liked the English gentlemen in the old movies, holding a black long-handled umbrella wherever she went, smiling softly when she saw a lady, taking off her top hat and bowing.

And the English pronunciation is also easy to remind people of the English gentleman, with a gentle and soft bite and a reserved and restrained pronunciation.

Qin Zhen was fascinated by what he heard.

When he stopped, she whispered to him, "Can you explain what that means?"

Cheng Luyang said with a smile: "Then you have to shout 'Uncle Cheng, okay'." ”

She snorted.

Cheng Luyang laughed and translated it for her.

This is a children's book, poetry in prose, or prose in poetic style. The author wrote a diary in the voice of a child, entitled "The House on Mango Street".

And the chapter he read was about hair, and one of the warm and lovely words made Qin Zhen's heart soften a little:

Mother's hair is like a small rose knot, a small candy ring, all so curly, so beautiful...... When she puts her arms around you, you feel extremely relieved, and the smell is so sweet, it is the warm fragrance of bread to be baked, it is the fragrance of the body temperature when she gives you a corner of the quilt. You sleep next to her, it's raining outside, and Daddy is snoring. Oh, the snoring, the rain, and Mommy's bread-smelling hair!

Cheng Luyang's voice was hoarse and low, with a little nasal, in this case, Qin Zhen seemed to have returned to many years ago and saw Cheng Luyang in that childhood.

He longs for his relatives, his parents, and even more for being loved, so he still looks at such childish and gentle children's books, right?

She was wrapped in the quilt and called him softly: "Cheng Luyang." ”

He stopped and replied in a nasal voice, "Huh?"

"Good night. Her voice was small, with a kind of reluctance.

Cheng Luyang laughed, "Willing to sleep?"

Reluctantly, not at all...... Qin Zhen sighed secretly with regret, but said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Well, I'm sleepy, let's sleep." ”

He's still sick and can't stay up late.

Cheng Luyang smiled, "Okay, you hang first." ”

She was ruthless, hung up in one breath, and then stared at the screen melancholy and contentedly for a long time, and then fell asleep.

Cheng Luyang, who was on the other end, held the pale yellow book in his hand and read it for a long time, and finally returned to the bedroom.

Is this really the smell of my mother's hair? He was curious, too.

***

What does it be like to have someone you care about?

It's like running on a vast wilderness, and when you stop out of breath and tired, you lie on your back on top of the rice paddies without hesitation, and then you see the clouds in the sky constantly changing, as if they are about to fall from the sky and cover you in an intimate posture.

At this moment, you will feel that the whole world is actually no bigger than the sky you see.

At this moment, you will feel that this blue sky that everyone admires can actually be owned by you alone.

So when Qin Zhen thought of Cheng Luyang, he would feel that the entire world had jumped into her arms.

Every day's work without new ideas has become extraordinary because she can meet him, she is like a girl who has just fallen in love, rushing from Outing to Cheng Luyang's place every day, and she is always reluctant to leave when she leaves.

***

On Saturday, Qin Zhen received a call from her mother, and Zhu Yunzhi asked her on the other end of the phone, "Have you been busy lately?"

Qin Zhen was lying on the bed reading a book, and the one he bought from the Internet just a few days ago was the "Cottage on Mango Street" that Cheng Luyang read to her that night. She rolled over and said with a smile, "Not busy." ”

"That's right, come back for dinner in the evening, stay one night, and leave tomorrow. ”

She laughed and quickly climbed out of bed, "Okay! I'm worried that I don't know what to eat today, so I'll call Bai Lu!"

"Don't!" Zhu Yunzhi suddenly became anxious, "Don't call Bai Lu!"

Qin Zhen took out his clothes from the closet in confusion, "What's the matter, why don't you call Bai Lu?"

They have always gone home together, because Bai Lu and she grew up together, and they treat Zhu Yunzhi like their own mother.

Zhu Yunzhi hesitated for a while before saying: "Anyway, you will come back alone today, your parents miss you, it is not good for you to trouble Bai Lu to drive back every time, the fuel is so expensive, and you have never given anyone money!"

Qin Zhen smiled, "She and I still care about this, besides, every time I come back, the dishes you cook are enough for her oil!"

couldn't help Zhu Yunzhi's repeated persuasion, Qin Zhen had to agree, "Okay, okay, I'll come back alone, I'm satisfied, right?"

But when she arrived at her home in the county seat for several hours, all her previous joy was gone, because there was an extra stranger in the family besides her parents and Qin Tian.

Zhu Yunzhi took her hand diligently, asked her to sit on the sofa with the man, and then introduced: "This is Xiao Shao, the nephew of Zhao's mother next door, come, Qin Zhen, hurry up and say hello!"

The man called Xiao Shao is about the same age as Qin Zhen, with glasses and a sven appearance, but the whole person is too thin and looks a little unenergetic.

He stretched out his hand and smiled slightly, "Hello, Miss Qin, I'm Shao Feng." ”

Qin Zhen paused, smiled politely, and stretched out his hand to shake him, "Hello." ”

But the smile at this moment can no longer come from her heart, because no matter how stupid she is, she will not be stupid enough to recognize the situation in front of her - Ms. Zhu Yunzhi is arranging a blind date for her.

There was no food on the table, and seeing that it was time to eat, Zhu Yunzhi just pushed the two young people out of the house, "There is a new restaurant on the street, the environment is very good, suitable for dating, you two don't eat at home today!"

The door closed, Qin Zhen's smile faded a little, turned her head sideways and smiled apologetically at Shao Feng, she sighed, "My mother has always been like this, she is too explicit, I'm sorry!"

Shao Feng also smiled, "Mother's is like this, since she said so, let's go to that restaurant and have a look." ”

The restaurant is actually not bad, at least in this small county, it is a good place with an elegant environment.

Red and white plaid tablecloths, glass vases with flowers, and floor-to-ceiling windows with light...... It's a pity that Qin Zhen has always believed in a truth, it doesn't matter what you eat or where you eat, what matters is the person sitting opposite.

Shao Feng is a very ordinary young man, with Zhou Zheng facial features and a shy temperament, when listening to him introduce himself, he said that he also works in City B and is the director of an insurance company.

Qin Zhen was talking to him with a lack of interest, and the meal was listless, but he still had to greet him with a smile. She guessed that she might have been with Cheng Luyang for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't have dealt with such a small occasion stiffly and unnaturally, according to her kind of temperament of seeing people and talking about ghosts, a blind date should also be easy.

After chatting, she couldn't help but admire her mother's vision, the director of the insurance company matched her as the manager of the real estate company, it was a perfect match!

But looking at Shao Feng's unmanly eating posture and his cramped and unnatural way of talking, it was hard for Qin Zhen to imagine that he would have to spend the rest of his life with this kind of person in the future.

After eating, she politely declined Shao Feng's proposal to send her home, saying that the company had something to do and she had to rush back to City B immediately.

Shao Feng probably saw her lack of interest, and after saying a few words politely, he broke up with her.

Qin Zhen walked on the street alone for a long time, until it was dark, and he had walked around all the familiar places, and then he went home.

Zhu Yunzhi had obviously heard about the progress of the two from Shao Feng, and when she opened the door, her face was gloomy, and when she entered the door and closed the door, she couldn't help but shout: "Did I say that you are like Qin Zhen? I finally arranged such a blind date for you, and you actually ran away after eating?"

Qin Zhen put the bag on the sofa, his face was a little unsightly, but he still lowered his voice and said, "Mom, I don't want to go on a blind date." ”

"Don't want to go on a blind date? You're going to be twenty-seven soon, Xiao Li downstairs is one year younger than you, and he gave birth to his second child this year, and Li Yuanyuan from the next unit, your elementary school classmate, also got married last month. Every time people meet, they ask me, 'Hey, your family Qin is really good, isn't it?' How do you tell me to answer people? Say that you don't even have a partner, right?" Zhu Yunzhi was angry when he mentioned this, "I persuaded you two years ago, you said that you would do it yourself, and I would let you go." As a result, two years have passed, and that's how you did it for me?"

"Then you can't force me!" Qin Zhen drank a glass of water irritably, "It's my own business to get married or something, can you force me to get a good result?"

Seeing that she was still talking, Zhu Yunzhi slapped the table angrily, "Who am I doing this for? Not for you! Tell me yourself, aren't you just a real estate owner? If you say that you are a manager, if you say that it is ugly, you are a sales lady, your salary is unstable, and everything depends on your performance, not to mention that your company is still a small company with a little name? Qin Zhen, you are old, your diploma is not high, and your job is not good, what good partner can you find? I am because I am your mother, or who will persuade you hard? Who's going to ask around all day long if there's a good partner?"

"Okay, okay, don't say a word, ah! Qin Zhen finally came back once, don't bother her with these things!" Qin Jianfeng pulled her and hurriedly persuaded her.

But Zhu Yunzhi didn't listen, she kept chattering, her voice was loud and her voice was sharp, Qin Zhen heard it buzzing in her head, and she was extremely irritable.

When she got to the end, she couldn't help but reply: "Mom, I don't have a high diploma and I don't have a good job, but that's not what I think! Do you think I want to stay in this kind of position like this, looking at people's faces all day long, but the salary is pitiful?"

Zhu Yunzhi was dumb all of a sudden, and he couldn't say a word.

Qin Zhen's words hit the ground of her heart, if she hadn't insisted on letting Qin Zhen give up college and go out to work, Qin Zhen wouldn't have only had a high school degree.

She pointed at Qin Zhen with an ugly face: "You're complaining about me now, aren't you?" You finally said it, didn't you?"

Qin Zhen, who hadn't argued with her for so long because of university matters, finally stood up upset, took his satchel and walked out, "My company still has something to do, so I'll go back today." ”

When he went out, Qin Zhen collided with Qin Tian, who came back from self-study at night.

Qin Tian smiled and said, "Yo, Qin Zhen is back?"

Qin Zhen smiled reluctantly, "There's something wrong, let's go first." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about what Qin Tian said behind him, and left in a hurry in the night.

At this time, the bus back to City B has long been gone, and I don't know how much it will cost to take a taxi.

Qin Zhen stopped an empty car irritably, so he had to sit on it and report the address.

When she returned to the gate of the community across a long distance, she found that the cash in the bag was not enough.

The driver looked at her vigilantly, as if he was afraid that she would repay the debt, Qin Zhen closed the bag again with a smile, "What, master, you better give me another ride!"

She reported the address of Cheng Luyang's house, then took out her mobile phone to call him, and whispered her embarrassing situation.

After a while, the car stopped outside the community where Cheng Luyang lived, and he was wearing a dark blue casual sweatshirt, standing on the side of the road like a big boy, seeing her leaning out of the window and waving, he took a few steps forward, and handed the prepared banknotes to the driver.

Qin Zhen jumped out of the car with her bag, and suddenly realized a question the moment she saw Cheng Luyang: When did she start to see this embarrassing situation, the first person to think of turned from Bai Lu to him?

The author has something to say: what does it feel like to have someone to care about?

——When Qin Zhen thought of Cheng Luyang, he would feel that the entire world had jumped into her arms.
