Chapter 51

After changing his shoes, Tong Yan rubbed down on the sofa in the living room.

Ling Zesheng brought a plate of fruit, put it on the coffee table, and looked up at her: "You will sleep in the guest room for a while." ”

"Huh?" Tong Yan, who had obviously not detached himself from the series of things that had happened before, was stunned and tilted his head blankly.

"Her expression was too innocent at this point, and her eyes were wide open, really like some kind of pet sticking out its tongue for attention. Ling Zesheng suddenly wanted to laugh, reached out and rubbed it on the top of her head, and sat down beside her, "I said, if you are sleepy, go to the guest room to sleep, I have already helped you clean up." ”

"Oh." His hand pressed on the top of Tong Yan's head, she inadvertently shrunk her neck, muffled to a word, and then continued to maintain the posture of a little daughter-in-law sitting with her hands on her knees, not daring to move.

In comparison, the laziness of coming here with her was more casual. It is estimated that he ate a snack in the kitchen, and was licking his mouth and stomping back to the living room, glancing at Tong Yan coldly, and then jumping onto the single sofa on the other side and lying down.

It was past the wee hours of the morning, but Tong Yan did not feel sleepy at all.

The living room was very quiet, neither of them made a sound, they just sat with their backs stiff for a while, Tong Yan was a little tired, and this silence made her uneasy, and she couldn't help but want to find something to say.

"Uh, didn't you say you only came back on Monday?" She held back this question all the way, and now she can finally ask it, and the question is full of hints, she is waiting for the answer that she has been thinking about for a long time.

Her tone was a little empty when she said this, and Ling Zesheng turned her head to look at her, with a faint smile in her dark eyes. He curled the corners of his lips slightly, and didn't answer her, but he looked at her for a moment, as if he was silently asking: What do you think?

His heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, Tong Yan felt that he was being teased by him, and he was a little flustered, but he didn't want to give up, so he took a deep breath and pushed him boldly, "I'll ask you!" ”

This tone of complaint, it sounded a little coquettish.

Ling Zesheng felt as if his heart had been scratched by a cat's claw, he pursed his lips slightly, hiding the shallow smile at the corner of his mouth, his expression did not change, and his tone was light: "I thought you knew." ”

Tong Yan felt that her heart was beating harder, and the roots of her ears were also a little hot, she moved her gaze back a little unnaturally, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know."

"I really don't know?" Ling Zesheng asked with a light smile, his body tilted slightly, approaching her, his eyes fixed on her ears, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be contained.

Tong Yan swallowed his saliva, and his whole body was about to burn. The hand she put on her knee tightened unconsciously, and her lips tightened, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted on the last bit of reason, weak and hard-mouthed: "I don't know." The corners of his mouth were uncontrollably curved upward.

"Oh~~~" Ling Zesheng sighed softly, bent down and leaned closer to her.

Tong Yan could feel his slight breathing in her ears, the cold hairs on his neck stood upside down, and his whole body was tense, and she didn't know whether she was expecting or afraid of what was about to happen. Or both.

Time seemed to stand still, the surroundings were quiet, and the lazy on the single sofa was already asleep, still in a twisted posture with all fours and eight forks.

Tong Yan didn't dare to come out, she quietly waited for him to approach, and she had even begun to make up what kind of affectionate eyes she should use to look at him

However, just as she felt that Ling Zesheng's lips were about to touch her ears, a low chuckle of his sounded out of thin air in the silence, and then he quickly retreated and retreated, sat up straight, and then heard his soft and deep voice coming.

"Okay then, forget if you don't know." After saying that, he stood up, patted his pants casually, and walked towards the restaurant.

A basin of cold water is poured down.

Tong Yan felt that his heart was still pink and fluttering, and his shy and expectant heart was thrown into the refrigerator in an instant.

She fell into a long speechlessness: "" couldn't help but secretly strangle her fist.

This feeling of being teased up and down and then letting go of it is really too painful!

It's like, it's like

His sister's constipation finally felt after five days, but she rushed to the toilet and worked hard for a long time just to come out with a fart!

It's really -- fuck you, uncle, and fall angrily!!

After silently roaring in his heart, Tong Yan took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, his expression was already as usual. She leaned back, changed her restrained posture just now, and leaned lazily on the sofa.

Nima, who is still holding the reserve of a shy little girl, is simply sick

After a while, Ling Zesheng came back with an extra bottle of fruit wine and two goblets in his hand.

"I can't sleep anyway, why don't we watch a movie together?" He stood by the coffee table, put down the things in his hand, and asked Tong Yan.

The fire in his heart did not disappear, Tong Yan didn't want to pay attention to him a little, and he ignored him: "Whatever." ”

Ling Zesheng nodded, went to turn on the TV, and when he turned around, he glanced back at Tong Yan and smiled slightly.

Capturing the subtle expression, Tong Yan knew that he had done it on purpose just now. Viciously gouged out his back eyes, snorted, and grabbed the cushion next to him and hugged it in his arms.

"What do you want to see?" Ling Zesheng turned on the TV and came back, holding the remote control board in his hand, searching.

Tong Yan didn't look at him, "It's all right, anyway, it's to pass the time." ”

Ling Zesheng turned his head to look at her, pursed his lips, didn't say anything, and directly pressed the online movie column and clicked on it.

There were several movies lined up on the screen, and he didn't have the heart to choose, so he directly pressed "Letter from a Strange Woman", which ranked first.

"See this?" He asked.

"Whatever you want." Tong Yan's chin rested against the edge of the pillow, looking indifferent, "Anyway, I've only seen the original." ”

Ling Zesheng chuckled when he heard this, didn't answer, pressed the OK button, got up and turned off the ceiling light in the living room, and twisted the floor lamp next to the sofa.

He sat back next to Tong Yan, reached out and took the corkscrew and fruit wine on the coffee table, opened it, poured two cups, moved one cup to Tong Yan, pinched one cup himself, and took a sip.

"This tastes good, you can taste it." He said.

"Oh." Tong Yan replied sullenly, obediently went to get the goblet, tilted his head slightly and took a sip, put the cup back on the table, and sighed: "The taste is okay, a little sour." ”

Ling Zesheng chuckled lowly, did not comment, turned back to watch TV, but there was a little itch in his heart, his mind was full of subtle changes in her throat when she had just swallowed fruit wine, just a slight slide He felt that his mouth was inexplicably dry.

He brought the glass to his lips and took a big sip.

It's so sweet

"Pipa Language" sounds, and the movie begins.

Tong Yan looked at the screen and was stunned.

She didn't expect that Zweig's European novel, originally written by Zweig, would be interpreted with Chinese elements - courtyard houses full of national characteristics, narrow streets, rickshaws with unique characteristics of the times, cheongsam, and bring people into the Republic of China in minutes, that era full of charm and confusing.

Xu Jinglei began to read the white, the plain narration, with a bit of drama lines, there was loneliness in the tone, but she couldn't feel sadness calmly, and there was no **, but it made another person have the urge to sigh out of thin air.

Tong Yan remembered the two lines that she remembered most when she first read the original book, and she copied them neatly in a notebook at that time.

-- Love is a matter of one person, and love is a matter of two people, so I love you and have nothing to do with you.

- I don't blame you, I love you, and this is what I love: emotional, forgetful, love at first sight, love is unfaithful.

There was a little strange thing in his heart, as if there was something pulling in his subconscious, Tong Yan looked at the screen and gradually entered it

Halfway through the movie, the two have not communicated for a long time.

Tong Yan's mind was in the movie, so when she heard Ling Zesheng's question, she felt so abrupt, and she didn't even react for a while.

"Do you think Miss Jiang is in love with Mr. Xu?" Ling Zesheng's voice was a little erratic.

"Huh?" Tong Yan was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at him, and was a little puzzled: "Isn't it?" ”

Ling Zesheng squinted slightly, his eyes were a little sharper and more scrutinizing, he pursed his lips and shook his head: "It looks profound, but in essence, it's just infatuation." ”

His tone was suspicious, but he clearly used declarative sentences, with certainty.

Tong Yan's body stiffened, and he suddenly felt that he had something to say.

Her thoughts began to be confused, and Tong Yan inexplicably linked the movie with herself - in the movie, the heroine Miss Jiang was obsessed with the male protagonist Mr. Xu all her life, is this a disguised insinuation of her and Ling Zesheng?

Her heart suddenly tightened into a point, Tong Yan's body trembled, and a trace of alarm flashed in her eyes when she looked at Ling Zesheng.

Was he trying to imply something?

The ghost sent him to think of his teasing of her before watching the movie, as well as the kiss and confession that happened a month ago, Tong Yan's chest was stuffy, and an indescribable depression welled up in his heart.

She slowly turned her head back, pretending not to care and continuing to pay attention to the movie, but she couldn't watch it anyway.

Thoughts roll into a chaotic thread, and the more you try to escape, the clearer some of your guesses become.

Perhaps, this is the answer he gave himself?

Or does he want to tell himself that her love for him can only end up like Miss Jiang in the movie.

I can't be sure, I don't dare and I don't want to be sure.

It was a silent stalemate

At 1 hour and 19 minutes into the movie, when Mr. Xu said to Miss Jiang again: "I'll look for you as soon as I come back." ”

Tong Yan suddenly sneered uncontrollably, and then she stood up and said ruthlessly, "It's too late, I'm going to sleep." ”

Ling Zesheng was slightly stunned, looked up at her, and saw that her cold face reflected in the dim light, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

"Oh, good." He pressed the pause button, got up, and put his arm on her back: "I'll take you there." ”

Tong Yan didn't respond, and walked away first.

Ling Zesheng looked at her back, a little puzzled, but didn't ask why

Sending Tong Yan to the guest room, Ling Zesheng returned to the living room, wanting to finish the last bit of the movie.

But he couldn't calm down anyway, and all he was thinking about was the unforeseen change in love just now, and he didn't understand why.

The movie is nearing the end, and "Pipa Language" sounded again, lingering and compassionate, wanting to talk about it, and inexhaustibly sad and sad.

The faint melody evoked Ling Zesheng's memories - the night a month ago, he sent Xiao Lin out, and when he pushed the door back to the box, he saw Tong Yan singing - she sat in the corner, her eyes slightly closed, and the dim light sprinkled on her side face, outlining the lines of her face, soft, but angular, just like her person.

She sang an English song "Almostlover", which is translated from Chinese as "Lovers Without Causes".

As soon as he thought of it, the melody of that song flowed out of his mind uncontrollably, and with the scene when he saw Tong Yan, he was able to reproduce it.

Goodbyemyalmostlover (Goodbye, my unloved love)

Goodbyemyhopelessdream (Goodbye, My Hopeless Dream)

I-mtryingnottothinkaboutyou

Can-tyoujustletmebe (Please let me go alone)

Solongmylucklessromance (Goodbye my unfortunate love

Mybackisturnedonyou (I'll turn away)

Should-veknownyou-dbringmeheartache (I should have known that you could only bring me endless heartache)

Almostloversalwaysdo (Lovers who don't have a chance are always like that)"

With an inexplicable move in his heart, Ling Zesheng raised his eyes and looked at the movie that was already broadcasting the end of the film, and instantly understood.

He glanced at the closed door of the guest room, got up and turned off the floor lamp, walked over to turn off the TV, and walked back to his bedroom

Tong Yan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and had no intention of sleeping.

After a while, she sat up, tilted her head sideways to listen to the movement outside the house, and rolled over and got out of bed.

Opening the door a crack, she looked into the living room, Ling Zesheng was no longer there, leaving only a dark and quiet room.

She crept out and sat down on the couch.

There was still half a cup of fruit wine on the coffee table that she hadn't finished drinking, and she picked it up and sipped it slowly, and her depressed mood gradually calmed down.

"Can't sleep?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, Tong Yan froze, and looked towards the source of the sound with a slight panic, and saw Ling Zesheng leaning against the door with his arms crossed, looking at her with a smile in the shadows.

With a move in his heart, Tong Yan smiled back with a faint smile, and his tone was already faint: "You can't sleep either?" ”

Ling Zesheng didn't answer, walked over to her, stood still in front of her, bent down and took the wine glass in her hand, put it on the table, and then reached out and dragged her up from the sofa.

"What do you mean by that?" Tong Yan was slightly stunned, and his breath was unstable.

Ling Zesheng lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyes were heavy and rippling, he reached out to hold her waist, wrapped her in front of him, and whispered, "I thought you already knew the answer." ”

What he said was nonsensical, but Tong Yan understood, and then he was stunned, and just as he was about to speak, he felt his chin pinched, and then his face instantly enlarged in front of her eyes.

The breath is intertwined, and the lips and teeth are blended.

"Hmm"
