Chapter 41 The North of the Yangtze River
My son had a summer vacation, and I asked Li Qiutong to help me find a few good tutors to watch him in the summer vacation, don't let him play wild, Li Qiutong said: "If you don't want to care, it's better to let him go to the summer camp to see the famous mountains and rivers, famous schools and scenic spots, open his eyes, maybe he will open his mind."
。
I said, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I don't have time to go out, and I don't feel at ease with letting him go out alone."
。
Li Qiutong said disdainfully: "You don't care where you should be careful, you can't be careful where you shouldn't, how many times have other people's children run so big, he is already fourteen years old, and he can manage himself." ”
"That's what I said, but I'm just a son, I'm just angry at best if I study well, and if he really has any mistakes, I won't be able to live."
I say.
"Okay, I'm just going to give you a proposal, you can do it, let you say that, I'm empty-hearted, I don't want to take responsibility for you"
Li Qiutong pouted and said.
I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll think about your construction"
I went home in the evening and called my younger brother Lin Xiaoran, who was still in the hotel.
I asked him, "How did Lin Tiancheng arrange it during the summer vacation?" ”
He said: "Mu Xiaoli wants to take Tiancheng to travel to the south"
。
When I heard this, I was secretly happy: "Where is she going?" ”
"They plan to go to Dali, Yunnan"
"Now that the children are growing up, since they are going to the south, why don't you take them to the Holy Land of the Revolution and the Ancient City of Phoenix to see, that is, after traveling and increasing their knowledge, you go and discuss with Mu Xiaoli, take that route and let her take Li Haoyu with her, so that he can be a companion with Tiancheng"
。
"Sister, tell her yourself"
Lin Xiaoran said.
"You're having a conflict again? Who is looking for this time? ”
"What's not there is that she has nothing to do all day long"
"Okay, I got it"
I took the phone and thought about it, and called Mu Xiaoli: "What are you doing?" ”
I asked.
Mu Xiaoli said weakly on the phone: "Watch TV"
。
As soon as I heard this, I felt in a bad mood, so I asked in confusion, "What about Tiancheng?" ”
"Went out to play, haven't come back yet"
。
"I heard Lin Xiaoran say that you want to take Tiancheng out for a trip?"
"Oh, it's not interesting to be at home, I want to take Tiancheng to the south to have fun"
I laughed and said, "Quarreled with Lin Xiaoran again?" ”
"How can I quarrel with him, he doesn't go home all day long, and he is very happy with the lobby manager in the hotel, how can he have time to quarrel with me"
Mu Xiaoli said angrily.
I smiled and said, "Do you have a time to stop all day long, Tiancheng is so big, don't quarrel in front of him about these things, you are not afraid of affecting the child, where do you think of going out this time?" ”
"I want to go to Dali, Yunnan"
I hurriedly agitated and said: "Why don't you take Tiancheng and Li Haoyu to take the route of Jinggangshan and Phoenix Ancient City in Hunan, and let them have a long experience and be educated."
Mu Xiaoli thought for a while and said, "That's good, but isn't the price a little expensive?" ”
As soon as I heard it, I knew what she was thinking, they didn't have that amount of money at all, I said: "I will pay for Li Haoyu's expenses myself, and the pocket money will be handed over to you, you can take care of them and don't have accidents."
。
"Look at what my sister said, I didn't mean that"
Mu Xiaoli hurriedly said.
"Okay, it's decided, you help choose a group, preferably a summer camp, there are many children, let them make more friends"
。
Three days later, my son happily set off, sent him to the airport and watched him walk into the airport with his bag on his back, and suddenly felt empty in his heart, one day he would really grow up, just walk out of my sight, out of my life, and then I would not even have a person who was angry and quarrelsome.
Jiang Xinya made an appointment to have dinner at the Millennium Hotel, and I asked her, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's nothing, just a casual meal"
。
"Is it really a light meal? Why are you there? Who did you date? ”
I asked.
"It's really just a light meal, don't ask so much, just come"
After finishing speaking, I hung up the phone, I took the phone and thought about it for a long time, and I didn't know what Jiang Xinya was going to do, but it was definitely not as simple as she said.
When I arrived at the hotel, I learned that she only made an appointment with Mr. Huang and Chen Jingde, she said: "I didn't call anyone else today, just the four of us, last time I invited Mr. Chen to dinner, Mr. Huang has something to do and is not there, please make up for it today"
。
Seeing Jiang Xinya treat me like this, I was a little uncomfortable at first, but when I saw him greet me calmly and quietly, and talked to me politely and naturally, I also changed from being restrained at the beginning to calm.
Jiang Xinya said: "Please eat here today because you don't have to drive, everyone has to drink today, don't make excuses anymore, you have to drink"
。
Mr. Huang immediately agreed: "Okay, you have to drink, and you will rest when you get drunk."
。
He just smiled faintly and didn't speak, I felt that Jiang Xinya was going to provoke trouble against me today, so I immediately objected and said, "I can't drink"
。
"You have to drink today, you are not allowed to pretend today, you pretended to be a bird in front of Lawyer Li that day, and Lawyer Li still misses you!"
Jiang Xinya looked at me with a smile and said categorically.
I gritted my teeth and glared at Jiang Xinya, today she was determined to target me, I glanced at him from the corner of my eye, and saw that he had a casual expression, deaf to him, and there was a trace of coolness in my heart.
It's easy for me to drink on my face, my amount of alcohol is not large, a little more drink and my face is full of clouds, I feel that my face is starting to have a fever and my heart is beating faster and I refuse to drink anymore, Mr. Huang took a glass of wine and said to me: "Officer Lin, you are more beautiful when you drink, your skin is white and red."
。
I smiled and excused myself and said, "I've drunk too much, even now that I've become a fairy, I can't drink anymore."
。
At this time, Jiang Xinya looked at him with a wine glass and said, "Mr. Chen, do you say that I am beautiful or still beautiful?" ”
Seeing Jiang Xinya's provocative remarks, I glared at her fiercely, but she pretended not to know and looked at him with a smile on her face and asked, "What do you say, Mr. Chen?" ”
He put down the wine glass in his hand, leaned back in the chair, met Jiang Xinya's gaze, thought for a while, smiled faintly and said, "Your beauty can be said, but Officer Lin's beauty can't be said."
。
This is also the first time I have heard him say what he thinks of me, although we have been together for so long, we have never said the kind of words that you love me more than kiss, but at this time he deliberately called me Officer Lin, and opened the distance between us in front of people, although this is what I meant, but he really did it, I still feel a burst of amazement in my heart.
"It seems that Officer Lin is still prettier than me in your eyes"
Jiang Xinya pouted the corners of her mouth and said with a smile.
Halfway through the banquet, Jiang Xinya asked me if I would go to the bathroom, and after we came out.
At the bathroom sink, she saw no one around and asked me, "What's the matter with you two?" Officer Lin, hum! I'll leave you alone."
。
"I don't have anything to do with him in the first place"
I said lightly.
Jiang Xinya was silent for a while: "I know he likes you, he is also the kind of person you like, what have you been waiting for for so many years, I know, he is better than Wu Tianyang, you can fight for yourself"
。
Jiang Xinya's aggressive eyes can often see my own heart that I don't want to face.
But I knew that it was unrealistic, and that he was just a 'passerby' in my life.
I closed my eyes slightly, took a secret breath, calmed my mood, looked at her calmly and said, "I have nothing to do with him"
, I don't want to deceive Jiang Xinya, although I know very well that she has guessed my relationship with him, but I don't want to pierce this layer of window paper, I don't want her to wade into this muddy water, as if she is our accomplice, this is an unclean relationship after all.
"Still, you take your feelings too seriously, you can't afford to put down this kind of game, in the end you will only hurt yourself more seriously, isn't it enough for a Wu Tianyang to destroy you? If he really loves you, let him give you a promise"
"Do promises work? Does the Oath Work? Did Wu Tianyang say less back then? ”
I sneered, and then said absolutely, "I have nothing to do with him"
。
Back at the table, I was smiling on my face, but there was no longer a smile in my heart, and after a few more glasses of wine, I felt a little dizzy and insisted on not drinking anymore, no matter what, I didn't want to let myself lose my temper.
He said he wanted to send me, I didn't let him send it, insisted on going home by himself, although the wine was a little high, but I knew very well in my heart, I had a kind of resentment towards him for no reason, and I didn't want to have a gaffe in front of him.
No matter how much it hurts me in the end in this emotional entanglement, I must not lose my dignity in front of him.
But he didn't care about my attitude, so he couldn't help but call a taxi to push me into the car and get into the car with me, he said to Jiang Xinya: "Let's go first"
I let the taxi go, and I had no choice but to be at his mercy.
In the "Lido Garden"
I got out of the car in front of the building, he wanted to help me upstairs, I didn't let him help me, I carried the railing upstairs, and after entering the house, I took off my shoes and went straight to the bedroom, got on the bed and lay down and fell asleep, at first I could hear him calling my name, and then I didn't know anything.
I woke up in the morning light, and I don't know when he changed into my pajamas.
I walked barefoot out of the bedroom and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, which is the "Lido Garden"
A building in the northeasternmost corner, to the north is a dense forest, which was originally a nursery on the outskirts of the city, and later expanded to this area and turned this nursery into a forest park.
I don't know when it rained last night, at this time there was still a wet moisture in the air, and the sky that had been washed by the rain was extremely transparent, but in the faint morning light, there was a dazzling light between the damp heaven and earth, which made people unconsciously indulge in it, and my heart was also damp and soft at the moment.
Sensing him coming behind me, he turned his head and smiled at him, he put his arm around me from behind and whispered in my ear, "Why did you get up so early?" ”
"I can't sleep when I wake up"
I say.
"Drank too much yesterday? I thought you could drink more, so that's just the amount."
He chuckled lowly.
I laughed and said, "I couldn't have drunk in the first place."
He smiled and brushed my hair and said, "What are you looking at?" So distracted? ”
"I don't know when it rained last night, the air was wet, a little like the weather in the south of the Yangtze River, just now I was thinking about Liu Yong's 'sprinkling the river sky on the twilight rain of Xiaoxiao, washing the autumn'"
I looked up and looked sideways at him.
"But it's summer, huh."
He buried his head in my neck and kissed me.
"But one day it will be 'red and green, and the red will fade, and the things will be resting.' Only the water of the Yangtze River flows eastward without a word'"
。
He silently hugged me for a long time and asked, "Still, do you want to go to Jiangnan?" ”
I tightened my body and was silent for a while and said: "Tangerine is born Jiangnan for orange, Jiangbei is orange, citrus is born Jiangbei for citrus, Jiangnan is orange, I am Jiangbei orange, not Jiangnan orange, good or bad, here I am all me, I don't want to become anything else"
。
In order to follow a man, for an unending relationship, wandering to the ends of the earth, to live an inexplicable life, I can't do it, Jiang Xinya is right: One Wu Tianyang is enough, I am no longer the Lin Yi of more than ten years ago.
I tilted my head slightly and leaned against his face and said, "We're together now."
。
He put his chin on top of my head and took me into his arms, looked out the window quietly for a while and said, "Okay, we're together now."
I could see the sun rise in the east, and the warm sunlight dispelled the misty humidity in the air, and the dazzling feeling disappeared.
