Chapter 29: To Miss or Not to Miss
I was still at work in the afternoon, Jiang Xinya called early to say that we would eat together in the evening, usually we didn't see each other for a while, we made an appointment to eat and chat together, most of them were about to get off work temporarily, make a phone call and ask if there is any time, who is free and who comes, get together casually, so early and solemnly please ten ** is something.
"What's the matter?"
"I can't invite you to dinner if it's okay!"
"Come less! Tell me, you have to ask the reason for eating your meal."
"I'm going to invite Mr. Chen to dinner, can you come along?"
"I'll just say you're okay with a treat? Why did you invite me? Who else was invited? ”
"Who don't you invite? You just finished the case of their factory, I heard Mr. Chen say that I am quite familiar with you, I was going to invite Mr. Huang, but unfortunately he went to the provincial capital, and he can't come back these days, only Mr. Chen and Vice President Zhang of their factory, I didn't invite anyone else, Mr. Chen said not to have too many people. ”
I was moved and asked, "Did Mr. Chen ask you to have a treat?" Did he let you invite me? ”
"I should also invite Mr. Chen to dinner, and after signing the contract with their unit, he has not said it, he said let me bring a friend together, I also think that it is not right for me and him, so I made an appointment with you."
。
"Where?"
"Mr. Chen said not to go to the hotel, find a quiet place, I think we should go to the East Lake Reservoir to eat fish, they southerners love to eat fish"
I suddenly felt that I had something in my heart, and when I was about to get off work, I thought that the unit could have something to do to push this dinner away, and I was worried that I would have to miss this dinner if there was really something, so I was a little restless.
When I went out, I felt that I should change into a more formal outfit, and after hesitating for a while, I was still wearing the casual jeans and white T-shirt I wore when I went to work, but I hung a handmade zuò clay porcelain Pisces pendant around my neck.
The East Lake Reservoir is less than ten kilometers away from the county seat, and there are several fish restaurants in the lake, the taste is not bad and very homely, I found the 'hometown flavor fish restaurant' where we came, sat down at a table near the window, Jiang Xinya took out two bottles of red and one white wine and put them on the table and asked: "What kind of wine does Mr. Chen drink?" ”
"I don't drink anymore, I'll drive, you guys drink"
Vice President Zhang hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, let me drive, you accompany the two beauties to drink"
"No need, you should drink with them, I'll just drink tea"
As he spoke, he took out a bag of tea leaves from the handbag he was carrying and handed it to the waiter, and told the waiter to make another pot of tea.
Seeing that he was so sure, everyone was not reluctant.
I said that I would only drink some red wine, and Vice President Zhang also said that I would only drink red wine, so Jiang Xinya only opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for the three of us.
I like to sit in front of the window and watch the colorful clouds reflected on the lake when the sun sets, although it is extremely gorgeous but extremely quiet, as if the sky is expressing its most surging passion with the calmest attitude.
Mr. Chen asked Jiang Xinya a few legal questions about their factory, which was in Jiang Xinya's arms, she puffed up her three-inch tongue and talked eloquently, not only answered his questions, but also cited the classic cases of several legal counsel units she represented, in short, she expressed to him the central idea that their factory chose her as a legal counsel is absolutely worth the money.
He listened quietly, sometimes asking a question lightly, sometimes nodding with a faint smile, Jiang Xinya's black and white eyes were as bright as beads at this time, and she looked at him and smiled from time to time.
And Vice President Zhang and I were just two foils, I sat there as if I was listening, as the sun sank a little bit and the sky darkened a little bit, watching the amber shimmer emitted by the red wine in the wine glass under the reflection of the setting sun from shallow to dark, I felt a little disappointed in my heart, I felt that I was really a little self-indulgent, and the little hope I had when I came was somewhat shattered.
"What are you thinking?"
Hearing him ask me, I came back to my senses, smiled at him and said, "I didn't think about anything."
"Really? I see how you are absent-minded? ”
He looked at me inquiringly and asked.
I have always seen him speak lightly and do things calmly, and suddenly seeing him ask so seriously, I felt a little uncomfortable and a little angry.
I picked up the wine glass and shook it, and said lazily with my hand on my chin: "I'm thinking, Lanling wine tulips, jade bowl with amber light, but so that the host can get drunk, I don't know where it is, the host is so attentive, it's a pity that you don't drink, you really live up to this good morning wine."
。
Saying that, he stopped looking at him, and said to Vice President Zhang with a wine glass: "They say their words, we drink our wine, and we don't want to waste this delicious wine and food."
。
Vice President Zhang picked up the wine glass and touched it with me and said, "Okay, let's drink our wine."
After that, we looked at each other and smiled, and drank it all.
He glanced at me and smiled lightly, and continued to drink tea and chat with Jiang Xinya.
He sent Jiang Xinya, then Vice President Zhang, and finally sent me, but the car did not enter the community where my family lived but stopped on the side of the road, he turned off the engine, and we sank into the dark night with the car, only the dim street lights shone into the window, I sat in the back seat and could only see his back but could not see his expression, I could feel the growing tension in the car.
As I became more and more sure that he was going to say something, I didn't want to run away from it, and I even looked forward to him saying something.
In the longer and longer silence I sensed that he was hesitating, but I don't know if he was hesitant about his feelings, or hesitant about his way of expressing himself, or uncertain about my attitude?
But at this time I really can't say anything, I can't encourage him directly, and I'm worried that any left-hand talk about his topic will make his already vague affection drift away, and now it's not the wind that moves, but my heart has moved.
His calm attitude and the slightest hint of affection really attracted me, and I don't know how long he sat in the dark, long enough for him to be sure of my feelings for him.
He turned around a little from his seat, stretched out his hand and handed me a card and said, "There is 300,000 yuan in this card, you go and buy yourself a car."
He didn't look at me as he spoke.
I felt the blood rush to my face all at once, and I was caught off guard by the way I was surprised by the way I was surprised, and I sat quietly with my hands clasped and watched his silhouette, calming my mood little by little.
"Sansu Sang is also old under the sky, since we have already encountered it, why do we have to miss it? You say, don't you? ”
He said lightly, not to me, but to someone outside the window, or to himself.
I let out a long sigh of relief in my mind, looking at his silhouette and his outstretched hand.
Money does not only represent a transaction, but also represents a way of interaction that can end at any time, we are just two people who meet by chance at a certain time and place, but it does not mean that we have a common future, he is just a passerby here, and he is just a "passerby" in my life
, which he was going to explain to me with this card.
His actions directly skip the beginning and process of our encounter, but directly indicate its outcome.
Now he's asking me: Should I miss this dewy relationship?
The blood rushing to the top of my head had long since returned to my heart, and I looked calmly at his background, he was probably the only person I had met over the years who I could love and want to love, even if I didn't have a lifelong alliance to keep together.
But do I still believe in the vow of love and love in the twilight and never change my heart?
Do I want to ask him for a couple for the rest of my life?
I didn't!
The night is so heavy that a little light in the city can't change the darkness of the night, but it can give you a little bit of light and a little warmth.
Still, haven't you ever sworn an oath that the sea is dry and rotten and you will never change your heart?
So what!
Those who should go still have to go, and since they are coming, let him come!
I reached out to take the card, he turned away, and we fell silent again, a gesture that showed that I had recognized our relationship, and I didn't know what I was going to say or what I was supposed to do.
In this silence, the sensitivity of the profession made me suddenly regret my impulsive action just now, and felt that I was too rash, should I really do it?
I just intuitively recognize this person, I don't have any deep understanding of him, but I have been a police officer for so many years, I know that any rash decision will bring unintended consequences, what kind of person is he?
What will be the consequences of this?
None of this can be explained by a card or a man's back, and I don't know if I can afford the consequences.
"Send me home"
I say.
He was silent for a while and said, "Okay"
But I didn't want to go home, I couldn't think about it in front of my family, even if they never knew it, it wasn't something my family and my children could accept, but I had nowhere to go.
At this time, my phone rang, I opened the phone and saw that it was the phone of the duty room of the criminal police team, and I was relieved, there must be a case when the duty room called so late, at least I don't have to think about it tonight.
I got on the phone and said, "What's wrong?" What's going on again? ”
"There's a report of rape"
Qi Jinjun, who was on duty, said on the phone.
"The case that just happened? Where is the informant? ”
I asked.
"It's a case that just happened, the reporter is in the duty room now, it's your old friend Miao Xinlan, I was going to let her go to work tomorrow and report the case, but she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, let's trouble Sister Lin to run"
Qi Jinjun said, even on the other end of the phone, I seem to be able to see Qi Jin's face with a wicked smile.
I smiled wryly and said, "Got it, I'll go over now"
。
After turning off the phone, I said to him: "Send me back to the unit, I have to go to receive someone who has reported the case"
"Okay"
He said with a low chuckle.
I don't know why he laughs, because of the joy of his wishes?
Or something else?
