Qi Yun began a real "adult" life, going to work at the Education Bureau on time every day, dealing with some transactional work, not busy, but not leisurely. After about two years in this way, sometimes she would reminisce about her lost youth, think of those dense madness and pain, and only then would she realize that her heart had gradually become numb. The only thing she can do now is to go to the bank at the end of each month and send most of her monthly salary to the small mountain village where she used to teach.

has been in love with Hong Jian for a year and a half, and the parents of both sides have long been very familiar, and their friends have all blessed this relationship, but for some reason, deep down I always know that the relationship can't be warmed up. Maybe it's because Hong Jian is very busy, and he constantly receives shooting tasks on business trips, filming Qinling, shooting Hoh Xili, and even going deep into the northwest cities controlled by terrorists, the two always get together more and leave less. In fact, if you calm down and think about it, she is not unhappy, at least that time she didn't tell a lie, the big hero she admired since she was a child is Hong Jian, and the person she wanted to marry since she was a child is also Hong Jian, although Hong Jian was once absent from her life, but isn't the happiness of life all going round and round? Her happiness finally came back after a long journey, but why was she full of melancholy in her happiness?

In the past two years, she had certainly heard from that man more than once. That's right, it's Lu Wei, in the past two years, Lu Wei has been mixed up in the urban construction company because of his wife's relationship, and gradually became the leader of the construction committee and the guest of Qi Yun's father's house. She deliberately pretended to turn a blind eye to these, and her explanation to her father only said that she and Lu Wei were not familiar with each other in school and had no intersection with each other, so she couldn't find two words to say so far.

The father only nodded casually and did not comment on it. In fact, except for the first one or two chance encounters, Qi Yun would intentionally or unintentionally inquire about the days when Lu Yu came to visit, and then disappeared from home during these times. Her parents rarely mentioned Lu Wei in front of her, and she only occasionally knew that he had been here from some small details, such as a small note on the telephone cabinet, which she knew was his handwriting after only a glance; There is also the herbal tea in his mother's cup, which is a specialty of his hometown. In the past years, she once leaned on his arms and listened to him smile and listen to him talk about the twilight spring in his hometown, his mother would go to the mountains to pick this herb, and then pick up the best of them to dry on the slope in front of his house, this herbal tea can only be dried more than half a catty a year, even in poor rural areas they are not willing to sell, keep it for themselves to drink or give it to relatives, can improve a variety of human immunity, especially for mother's chronic arthritis The best therapeutic effect of diet.

I don't know what day it was, but she found herself inadvertently searching for details about his visit. When she realized what she was afraid of, she couldn't help but be shocked, and tried to suppress the countless emotions that came to her heart. It was also at that moment that she suddenly realized that the number of times he came to the house had become frequent recently, so frequent that a few times as soon as Qi Yun pushed open the door, he saw his coat hanging on the entrance cabinet of his house.

She stood on tiptoe and peeked home, where her father's bedroom door was hidden and the sound of argument came from within, and the faint smell of tobacco wafted out.

It's good that he didn't come out to greet her, Qi Yun thought. At the same time, she sadly found that even now, if he really did that, she still didn't know how to adjust the expression on her face to deal with him. Thinking about it like this, Qi Yun felt deeply ashamed of himself. Yes, he is now a mature man, the son-in-law of Mr. Zhao, who has just been promoted to the top of the urban construction company, the director and assistant general manager of the third construction department, and more importantly, the father of a boy who has just turned one year old.

This last identity made Qi Yun smile bitterly from his heart, casually locked his bedroom door, plugged in the headphones to listen to French songs, she has been learning French recently, not too eager to improve her level, just to find something to do.

When I came out in the evening, my father's bedroom was empty. She walked in by surprise, and saw a large pile of cigarette butts on her father's desk that Aunt Qin had not had time to put away, and for a moment she felt her eyes tingle, and there was a moment of surprise.

She knew that her father never smoked except when he was thinking very hard, and she hated smoking in his room. And he? It turns out that he didn't smoke when they were together, and many changes happened after they were absent from each other's lives - but at the end of the day, what were they discussing? Why do you smoke so much?

She tried to ask her father, but he stopped talking, and then asked cheerfully: What is the matter? Qi Yun didn't want to persecute her father, but she felt sad. She is no longer the easy little girl she used to be, but her father obviously doesn't see her as an adult companion who can be together through thick and thin.

Next, Lu Wei came to the house more often, every time he came, he went into his father's bedroom, the two closed the door to discuss, and after Lu Wei left, there was a bunch of cigarette butts in his father's bedroom.

Every time Qi Yun put on headphones to learn French, her handsome French teacher was quite surprised that she was learning thousands of miles in the world. She put all her mind on French books, and even went to the water dispenser in the living room to fetch water quietly, but once she was caught off guard by him.

Could there be a worse fate? She walked and drank half a glass of water, her slippers on, her head uncombed, and her half-worn pajamas crumpled. But such an outfit made her feel reassured, why did she let him think she was beautiful? She is no longer the little girl who stood in front of the mirror and changed all her dresses for a date, and now she is a different woman who is beautiful for him.

But he obviously didn't notice what she was wearing, a pair of big black eyes big enough to raise fish, staring at her eyes fixedly, if these eyes used to make Qi Yun feel her heart beat faster and breathing faster, but now these eyes could only make her feel deep sadness, and the furious anger that rose from the soles of her feet.

"Qi Yun, I have something to say to you." Lu anxiously stopped her. As if he was afraid that she would misunderstand, Lu Wei added: "About ...... Your dad's thing. ”

Qi Yun didn't move in a daze. How long has it been? Hearing this voice call her name again made her feel like she was in a dream, and she felt great irony.

Qi Yun spoke, his voice was cold and hard, dry,

"I don't want to talk to you, and I'm not interested in hearing anything you say. Also, if my dad really wanted to tell me something, he himself would come and say to me, why bother with you as an outsider? ”

She staggered away from him and wanted to leave. What a joke, when will it be his turn to talk about her father's affairs? Their father and daughter have always been the closest to each other, so how can they allow others to get involved?

He desperately reached out and grabbed her. With so much force, her left shoulder hit his chest, and his breath blew in her ear:

"Xiaoyun, I'll just say a few words......"

The itching in her ears prompted her to shake him off decisively, gritted her teeth and said:

"Lu Wei, I see that you are my father's friend at work, and we have been classmates, so I will forgive you for your recklessness! But here's what I want to tell you: if you dare to try again, I swear I'll never make you look good again! ”

Lu Wei wanted to say something more, but Qi Yun warned him in a fierce voice:

"This is my home, don't force me to tell you to get out!"

He retracted his hand in frustration. Qi Yun rushed back to his bedroom as fast as he could, closed the bedroom door tightly, raised his face and leaned his back against the door, but he was in tears.

She thought that after she calmed down, she could forget about what happened on this day, but the sky did not obey people's wishes. The next evening, when my mother was out for a walk, my father once again "passed" by Qi Yun, who was smiling in front of the TV and smiling at the entertainment program, with a teacup.

"Dad, do you have something to say to me?"

Qi Yun put away the smile on his face, got up from the sofa, and turned off the TV with the remote control.

This sudden move made Qi Yun's father a little stunned. But he only hesitated slightly, and sat down on the sofa on Qi Yun's left.

"Yunyun, sit down...... You've grown up too. ”

Such an opening statement made Qi Yun feel that something was really about to happen. Thinking of Lu Wei's gaffe yesterday, Qi Yun smiled bitterly, how could she be so naïve? Is it really possible that Lu Wei suddenly showed favor yesterday just because of her "charm" and couldn't help it?

Not to mention that she doesn't have much feminine charm to herself, even if she does, with Lu Wei's rational to cold-blooded character, it is impossible to get out of control because of it.

The father seemed to be weighing the words, and he said carefully:

"Yunyun, dad is sorry for you. You and Lu Wei ...... thing"

Qi Yun sat on the sofa and straightened his back, feeling a chill. So the father knew? He always knew that he had a relationship with Lu Wei? Since when did you first know about it? And, even if he knew, he could watch him marry someone else's girl and abandon his own daughter?

Or maybe his father knew it relatively late and had no time to exert influence on Lu Wei's marriage, but didn't he also get along so well with Lu Wei next? Not even a hint of unnaturalness. The rational world of men is really not something that a little woman can understand.

"Yunyun, my father was wrong back then, but how to say it, it was for your own good...... Maybe I was wrong, but now it's all in the past, and it's useless to mention it...... But if something really happens in the future, I want you to know that in this world, apart from me, Lu Wei is the man you can rely on the most. You don't have to feel feelings for him...... At this point, it's best that you don't have feelings for him anymore. But there's one thing I want you to know: he's ...... after all I still love you! ”

Qi Yun's eyes widened in surprise. Her father had never said anything like love to her, and after she finished speaking, she inevitably coughed to hide her slight embarrassment. But what Qi Yun felt was ridiculous was that his father actually said that Lu Wei still loved her after all!

How funny is that? If this kind of treatment can also be done out of love, then Qi Yun really wants to wonder what the world is still so admiring and eager for love? Of course, Qi Yun also knows that there are many, many women or men in this world who are false and aggrieved in true and false love for various purposes, but it is impossible for her to do that Qi Yun!

Qi Yun turned his head away from his father, his little face flushed, and he was extremely innocent.

"Dad, you were the one who introduced Lu Wei to the urban construction company, did you do this in the first place to let him leave me?"

The father hesitated for a moment, and for the first time lit a cigarette in front of Qi Yun:

"Yes. Back then, He Miliang - oh, it was Vice President He's daughter, she took a fancy to Lu Wei, and she didn't dare to tell her father herself, asking me to be a peacemaker. I was ...... is just an old coffin in the eyes of ordinary forces, for fear that his daughter will marry a poor student and suffer, so he beats the mandarin duck alive. Yunyun, your father and I have a bad eye, and our hearts are not necessarily open...... You have an estrangement with me now, and even hate me, which is right. ”

He Miliang? It was the first time Qi Yun had heard this name head-on, and neither she nor anyone else had unconsciously avoided this matter before. She lowered her head and thought for a long time before she raised her head and smiled at her father:

"What are you talking about? I'm your daughter, and you're doing it for my good. Besides, even if you introduce him to work in the urban construction company, even if He Miliang is interested in him, isn't the acceptable person still him? Or to put it more simply, isn't the person who pursues He Miliang and makes He Miliang pregnant still Lu Wei? ”

Qi Yun thought that a month after He Miliang became pregnant, Lu Wei had a skin-to-skin relationship with her, and couldn't help but turn over in his stomach. She suppressed her tears and waved at her father, who was still trying to speak, and motioned for him to stop talking.

"Daddy, let's do this. I loved him, he left me, it didn't matter. The only thing I'm afraid of is that one day I'll have no resentment against him, and if that's the case, what will be left of the unforgettable heart?! ”

"But, Hong Jian ......"

"Hong Jian is very good," Qi Yun said decisively: "Brother A Jian and I have grown up together since childhood, and being with him is as comfortable as being with another self, I ...... No reluctance. ”

The father's mouth opened, but he didn't say anything more, just lost his mind for a moment. His face met the light of the window, Qi Yun looked at his father carefully for the first time, and she saw that this face that was once so handsome and high-spirited had been engraved with obvious lines by the years, and a pair of eye sockets were also deeply sunken. The fact that Qi Yun had never realized suddenly came to his mind: his father was old.

I don't know why, there was a sudden depression floating in the air, and Qi Yun turned around and ran out of the living room.
