Chapter 64: Sour

Lan Xingye wanted to continue to ask how old his sister was, but as soon as she spoke, she was interrupted, and a slightly angry male voice came from in front of her, which was familiar, "Lan Xingye!" ”

Lan Xingye turned his head to look at it in surprise, and couldn't help but be stunned. At the same time, Shao Mingyang also followed the voice, only to see a man in a suit and leather shoes standing in front of the hall.

That's Li Jun!

"Your friend?" Shao Mingyang opened his mouth first and asked in a low voice.

Lan Xingye came back to her senses at this time, she didn't expect Li Jun to suddenly appear in her company, and she was even waiting for her!

A little surprised for a while, she was stunned and said, "Well, yes." ”

Li Jun didn't expect that he would see Lan Xingye walking side by side with a man! Moreover, he is still a man with a bewitching and handsome face! Seeing that she didn't move, she became even more impatient, and shouted again, "You don't come over quickly!" ”

"Got it." Lan Xingye replied softly, then turned his head to look at Shao Mingyang and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, senior, a friend is here today, I'll just go back by myself, don't bother you to send me again." ”

"It's okay, you go." Shao Mingyang replied gently, not angry.

Lan Xingye nodded, smiled, and waved goodbye, "Bye." ”

Li Jun stood in front of him, watching silently all the time, watching her talk to the strange man, and then seeing her waving goodbye to the other party, inexplicably, there was a thorn in his heart like a thorn in his heart, making him so uncomfortable and uncomfortable, he didn't understand what it was, in short, it was unpleasant.

Before Blue Star Night could get closer, he strode forward and walked in front of her in a few steps. Lan Xingye was stunned, and was about to shout, but he grabbed her hand, held it so firmly, and walked outside with her hand, "Xiaojun......"

"Hurry up!" Li Jun shouted in a low voice and pulled Lan Xingye away.

And in the back hall. Shao Mingyang looked at the figures pulled away by the two, and his gaze was fixed on Lan Xingye's hand.

Her hand was now held by another man.

When Shao Mingyang walked out of the company, his eyes looked ahead. I saw Lan Xingye get into the man's car, and then walked away.

In his eyes, it seemed that the scene of them holding hands just now was frozen.

It's rush hour, and the road is full of traffic.

The car drove forward in a hurry, and Blue Star didn't have time to fasten his seatbelt. He had already questioned him, and his anger seemed to freeze, "Ah Chen's matter, why don't you sue me!" ”

Lan Xingye was suddenly stunned, and after a while, she whispered, "You know everything." ”

"Yes! If it weren't for Yan Yan suing me, would you still plan to continue to hide it from me? Are you going to hide it from me for the rest of your life? Li Jun's hands clenched the steering wheel, and the force was so fierce that he wanted to crush the steering wheel. If it weren't for the accidental conversation with Li Lingyan. He didn't even know it all along!

"It's been three years! Blue Starry Night! It's been three years since Ah Chen died, and you didn't sue me, who are you and me? Li Jun asked coldly, and even reprimanded, "I have watched Ah Chen grow up since I was a child, and he has always called me brother, in my heart, Ah Chen is my younger brother!" You didn't even sue me! ”

Lan Xingye's heart suddenly soured, and she found that her eyes were also a little hot.

Li Jun's stomach was on fire, but Lan Xingye was silent. He shouted again, "Is it because my mother won't let you say it?" ”

Lan Xingye was just silent, looking sideways out the window, silent.

Blue Starry Night will never forget it for the rest of your life. Li's mother told him that Li Jun was very busy studying abroad, so don't let him worry, so don't tell Li Jun about Ah Chen's affairs.

Her silence made Li Jun even more angry. He shouted angrily again, "What did my mother say, did you listen to it?" Is my studies more important than Ah Chen? The eyes burned even more, with anger and deep self-reproach and chagrin, "Ah Chen is sick, I don't know!" I didn't even attend his funeral! Even when I return home, you won't say anything! Blue Starry Night! Are you going too far! ”

All kinds of qiē made Li Jun feel annoyed like never before when he thought about it!

In fact, after the surgery that year, Ah Chen's condition was controlled and improved at first. They all thought he would be fine, the doctor said the same, and so did Blue Starry Night. But I didn't expect that less than half a year later, the condition began to deteriorate again, and with lightning speed, people couldn't stop and couldn't be rescued.

It's just that Lan Xingye can't forget that Lan Jingchen was lying on the hospital bed weakly, dying. He held her hand and muttered: Sister, it's autumn, hasn't Brother Xiaojun come back yet? Lan Xingye smiled strongly, thinking that he remembered that Li Jun promised him when he went abroad to study that he would send him local American specialties, so he smiled and said: I'm coming back soon, and when I come back, I will bring a lot of delicious food back to Xiaochen.

But Lan Jingchen smiled and said: Sister, I'm not a child, I don't want to eat it. Lan Xingye asked him again, what did he want. Lan Jingchen looked very yearning, looked at her and muttered: Sister, I have seen it in a book before, and I heard that the redwood forest in California, USA, is very beautiful. Mom, she likes Maple Leaf the most, I want to show her, it must be beautiful, she will definitely like it. I told Brother Xiaojun, and he promised me that he would bring it to me when he came back.

Since the Chinese New Year that year, she has not looked for Li Jun again. But because she heard Lan Jingchen's last wish, she picked up her mobile phone again and dialed Li Jun, she mentioned Ah Chen, hoping that if he could, he could go to the redwood forest in California and pick some maple leaves and send them to him, because he wanted it very much. It's just that at that time, Li Jun responded impatiently, telling her that Xuanqing had been busy participating in ballet competitions recently, and that he was accompanying her, but he would go if he was free, and then hung up the phone.

Later, there was no news in the sea.

Until Lan Jingchen closed his eyes forever, until the heartbeat meter stopped rising and falling, he never saw the maple leaves of the redwood forest again. But the bright red color, the maple leaf fell into the heart of the blue starry night forever. Lan Xingye thought that from now on, she would never call him again, she would never ask him to give her anything again, never again.

Lan Xingye's mood has become very calm in the past three years, calm to the point that it is like the sea on a sunny winter day, there is no fluctuation at all, only the sea water is cold and indifferent, she said softly, "It's okay, it's all over anyway." It's been three years. ”

Her voice was faint, like dead silence, which made Li Jun's heart tighten. He looked sideways and saw her leaping through the window. There was not a hint of color in those eyes. It was so dim that it couldn't do it, which suddenly reminded him of the time when the Blue Mother died.

There was a time when Blue Starry Night's eyes were also so dim.

All that anger and blame became small, insignificant. He wanted to apologize, he wanted to say something. But in the end, it was impossible to speak.

Annoyed, he blurted out, "It's all your fault!" Li Jun still remembers that when Lan Mu died, she didn't cry much, she was not as strong as a teenager, and even smiled and told him that she was fine. He pulled her over and put her in the back seat of his bike, then took her hand and put it around his waist. Let her hold her tight, or he will ride fast and throw her off.

The wind in the evening was a slight heat in early summer.

Along the way, he didn't speak, and neither did she. From time to time, he would tell her to let her sit down, and she would answer with a well-behaved "en". When turning, he rode fast, so Blue Star Night crashed into his back. He wore a white shirt and school uniform that day. And sweater vests.

But in the end, he felt his shirt soaking wet, and through the vest, the wet feeling came.

Li Jun didn't look back. He didn't dare to turn back.

He knew that it was the tears of the blue starry night.

And today, he is as overwhelmed as he was then.

It's all your fault! Tell you to come to me if you have something!

It's all your fault! I told you to hold me tight!

Lan Xingye just looked out the window, but she responded softly as she did when she was a child. "Yes."

She responded obediently again, which made Li Jun frown.

He also grabbed the steering wheel, and then said, "Where is Ah Chen's burial, take me to see him first, and then send you back to Grandpa Lan." ”

Li Jun thought that he must make amends today, he made such a big mistake.

Lan Xingye said, "It's too late, the door of the cemetery is already closed, let's do it another day." ”

"Tomorrow, then."

"Yes."

As the car drove forward, Li Jun suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice, "Who was that man just now?" ”

Lan Xingye said softly, "The manager of our company. ”

Company manager? The man's face appeared in front of Li Jun's eyes again, it was really a jealous and handsome face, and it couldn't be better to deceive women, especially a simple girl like her! He said in a sullen voice, "I see that you came down with him, what's the matter, you have a good relationship?" ”

"It's okay." Blue Starry Night didn't want to talk about it.

"Don't blame me for not suing you in advance, a man like him will cheat girls, and he is clearly a playboy, don't get too close to him, be careful of being deceived......" Li Jun's words were not finished, but this time Lan Xingye interrupted him.

Her voice was a little soft, "Xiaojun, I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while." ”

Li Jun stopped suddenly, but saw that she closed her eyes, and she really looked very tired. He frowned in annoyance and tried to say something, but in the end he just stopped talking impatiently.

*************************

On Friday evening, it's time for school to get out.

At the entrance of Zhuhai University, students are picked up and departed by private cars.

When he was about to arrive at the campus, Shao Mingyang dialed the phone.

Shao Qiling picked it up at the other end, and Shao Mingyang said, "I'm almost here, you sort out your things." ”

"How long?"

"Twenty minutes."

Since there was no traffic jam on the road and no traffic lights, the road was unimpeded. It was ten minutes faster than the time mentioned before, and it only took half the time to arrive at the west gate of the school. At this time, there are not many students left, most of them have been picked up, two or three sporadically.

Shao Mingyang was about to pick up his mobile phone again, so that Shao Qiling could come out, and he was here at the West Gate. But when he turned his head to look, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of two figures.

It was a man and a woman, walking side by side.

And that girl is none other than Shao Qiling.

Shao Qiling was holding the bag in one hand, talking and laughing with the boy. I don't know what she said, she actually laughed, the smile on her face was so bright and flying, some youthful and bright feeling, but it was too flamboyant.

Shao Mingyang rarely saw Shao Qiling laughing like this.

The daughter of the Shao family, who has received a lady's education since she was a child, smiles without showing her teeth and does not shake her head. Sitting without bare knees, standing without leaning against the door, and not talking back to the elders, it is absolutely impossible to be disobedient. But at this moment, Shao Qiling smiled like this. That was a side that Shao Mingyang had never seen. is no longer cautious, no longer respectful, but it seems that this is what she should be.

That's the youthful face that a twenty-year-old girl should have.

Shao Mingyang's gaze. It was fixed on the boy again.

looks handsome and resolute, and the figure is also straight, you can see at a glance that the family background should be extraordinary, otherwise there would not be such a charm.

But who is he?

Che Yi died after his mother's death. I've never heard Ling Ling mention it.

Shao Mingyang was puzzled in his heart, and then he also got out of the car, but he didn't shout, just watched the two slowly approach.

However, the boy found him.

He stopped. Shao Qiling also stopped, looked up, and saw Shao Mingyang standing in front.

"It's your brother." The boy whispered.

"Yes." Shao Qiling was a little nervous, and said softly, "Then I'll go first." ”

"Wait, your book."

Shao Qiling took the book from his hand and held it in his arms.

The boy nodded at Shao Mingyang, and then staggered off the path to the side. Obviously, he just came to give Shao Qiling a ride, not just by the way. Or or. He deliberately avoided Shao Mingyang.

Shao Mingyang watched Shao Qiling approach quickly, his gaze withdrawn from the boy in the distance.

"Brother, didn't you say it would take twenty minutes? How can it be so fast? Shao Qiling looked up and asked.

"If I don't hurry up, I guess I won't be able to bump into you together." Shao Mingyang said softly. I saw Shao Qiling lower his head, biting his lip and not speaking.

"Let's get in the car first." Shao Mingyang was not in a hurry to ask, and opened the car door for her.

The car drove away from the campus, Shao Qiling was uneasy, and then took the initiative to speak, "He is a classmate of our school." and my one. We have known each other since we were in Australia and have been friends for many years. ”

"Lingling, I remember that you were in Australia and went to a girls' school." Shao Mingyang listened to her quietly, and said with a burst of blood.

"Can't girls' schools know boys?" Shao Qiling protested softly.

Shao Mingyang understands it all now, it seems that they have known each other for many years, so they gradually have feelings, but I don't know how much this affection is.

"No wonder you still come to school during the summer vacation." At this moment, Shao Mingyang also understood some things, such as the reason why Shao Qiling still came to school during the holiday in the middle of summer. But he never talked about her relationship problems.

This time, he whispered, "Lingling, do you like him?" ”

"No ......" Shao Qiling's voice was very soft, obviously lacking confidence.

After being silent for a moment, Shao Mingyang said, "Then don't have any more dealings with him." ”

"Brother, why!" Shao Qiling reacted violently and asked in annoyance.

"First, you're a girl, and I don't worry about you having a relationship with him. Second, you should know that your marriage uncle has already been chosen. ”

"I know what you say." Shao Qiling clenched the book in his hand, his voice was very low, but it was also very depressing, it seemed that he had been forbearing, he had been suppressing, "But brother, you never ask me if I am willing, whether I agree." You always set a qiē for yourself, and let me live a step-by-step life according to the plan! You never asked me if I was happy or if I wanted to, and you made a decision for me! ”

"I don't want to marry someone else." Shao Qiling seemed to have surrendered, and said softly, "Brother, I like him." ”

Finally, the sentence came out of his mouth.

At the traffic light ahead, the car stopped.

"When did it start?" Shao Mingyang asked in a low voice, he really wanted to know when his sister had started to grow up and have her own emotions. But he found out that it was too late, and thought that she had always been the little girl who didn't grow up.

"I don't know." Shao Qiling replied softly, looking so dazed.

"If you just have a crush on him, then break it off now, you know that the two of you won't be possible, and I'm also for your good." Shao Mingyang said lightly.

"Brother, I really like someone, how can I just say it? It's not a switch, you just turn it off! ”

"It's too late for you to pull back from the precipice." Shao Mingyang's voice was cold.

"It's too late, even if it's time to stop the precipice. It's too late. Shao Qiling leaned on the saddle and tilted his head to the side. Shao Mingyang turned his head to look, while Shao Qiling looked out the window, "Brother." When you like someone, you are uncontrollable. ”

"That's being attracted, an irresistible force, like there's a thread that keeps pulling you. Sometimes. Maybe he just said a word, sometimes, it could just be that he was doing something, that person's smile and sometimes it would pop up, and you couldn't stop it at all, and you couldn't refuse it. Because of feelings, it's not up to you to decide. Accept or surrender, there is no other way. ”

There was silence, and the red light had turned green. The car drove forward again. There was sunshine in front of him, but a shy and smiling face appeared in front of Shao Mingyang's eyes, which made him a little stunned.

"Brother, I really don't want to marry someone I don't love." Shao Qiling pleaded softly, her eyes red.

Shao Mingyang was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I will discuss this matter with my uncle again." However, I want you to promise that you will not cross the line with that boy. ”

Shao Qiling was a little embarrassed. "Brother!"

"You have to promise!"

"I see, I promise!" Shao Qiling replied, and said again, "Brother." Actually, I would love to study in Italy......"

"Lingling, you know that the uncle will not agree." Shao Mingyang snorted.

Shao Qiling was silent, frowning. Yes, the girl of the Shao family doesn't need dreams or talents, she just needs to get married.

Shao Mingyang was also a little impetuous. The figure that came to mind just now turned out to be Blue Starry Night.

**************************

Today, Blue Star Night wants to accompany Shao Mingyang to Fulan Business and Trade Negotiations, the driver is driving in front, and the two are sitting in the back seat. Lan Xingye thought that last Friday, Li Jun suddenly appeared, thus rejecting his kindness.

She felt sorry and said silently, "Well, I'm really sorry last Friday. ”

"It's okay." Shao Mingyang smiled in response, but glanced sideways at her, and he suddenly asked, "It's just that I'm curious about one thing." ”

Lan Xingye also looked at him sideways, and Shao Mingyang asked, "He's your boyfriend?" ”

She and Li Jun? Lan Xingye hurriedly shook his head, "No, it's not. ”

"Didn't you say that as long as you hold hands, you are lovers? I've seen it with my own eyes. Shao Mingyang said unhurriedly.

But inexplicably, Lan Xingye felt that the gaze was interrogating, she was stunned, but she was also stopped by her question, in fact, when he asked that question before, she just happened to see a pair of lovers holding hands with passers-by in front of her, but she didn't expect that he was serious.

"I said before that there were no boys around me, it turned out that they were all lies." He chuckled under his breath, holding the car door with one hand, his gaze swept slantedly, and his handsome face was hidden in the gloomy light and shadow under the sun's pouring, "No wonder you rejected me before, it turned out to be because of this." ”

"No, I'm not in that relationship with him...... Because we grew up together, we are already very familiar with each other, and he came to hold my hand, but it was just a habit, and there was nothing about it! Lan Xingye was in a hurry, because he completely misunderstood, she explained in a hurry, even she didn't understand why she was in such a hurry, and finally whispered, "It's really not like that......"

"Growing up together, it turns out that you still have a childhood sweetheart." Shao Mingyang spoke in a low voice, and said with a smile, "When I was eating in a small restaurant before, your good friend Zhang Sisi once said that you already have someone you like, could it be him?" ”

Lan Xingye was stunned, how could his memory be so good, and at this time he brought up all the past events one by one, "It's not ......"

"I think you're like unrequited love or a crush." Shao Mingyang said with a smile again, "In this era, it is not fashionable to do that, it will only make people feel funny." If you have known him for so long and have not been together, then it can only prove that you are impossible, and he will not be able to like you. ”

His words were well-organized, and every word was engraved into Lan Xingye's heart, what he said was right, she had already known it, but she didn't know why, but these words made her feel slim, she looked at Shao Mingyang, who was clearly so close at the moment, sitting side by side in a car, but suddenly it was so far away.

Blue Star replied softly, "I know. ”

She knew it all along.

Xu was because of those words, so Lan Xingye was a little distracted in the meeting.

And as thoughtful as Shao Mingyang, how could he not have noticed.

On the way back to Sihai, he couldn't help asking, "When you had a meeting just now, you were a little absent-minded. ”

Blue Star was startled, "I'm sorry ......"

"It's okay, just pay attention next time." Shao Mingyang responded, "Senior sister, shouldn't you be unhappy because of what I just said?" ”

"Of course ......not," Lan Xingye replied hurriedly, how could she be unhappy, because it was all the truth.

"I'm going to be a bit heavier and may make you uncomfortable, but I just want to give you a piece of advice. Senior sister, sober up early. He kindly reminded him, a smile on his lips.

Lan Xingye's heart suddenly chuckled, and she whispered, "I've always been awake. ”

"That's good." He smiled and nodded, and Blue Starry Night smiled. Then Shao Mingyang's mobile phone rang, he answered the phone, and looked ahead.

"Well, I'll see you at noon......" In his ears, his voice was vague, answering the call intermittently.

Lan Xingye also withdrew his gaze, but looked out the window.

The car window is reflected, reflecting Shao Mingyang's side face.

She lowered the window a little, and the wind whistled through her ears, blowing away the distractions.

Yes, she was awake all the time.

***************

Just as it was about to take the lunch break, Blue Star's mobile phone rang.

Pick it up and take a look, this time it is no longer Li Jun, but Zhao Xuanqing.

In fact, she rejected Zhao Xuanqing twice before, and Lan Xingye felt a little guilty in her heart, after all, she also had good intentions. She originally wanted to come out of the empty space, and inviting her to dinner was considered to make amends, but today can undoubtedly be regarded as making amends.

The western restaurant that I made an appointment with was not far from the company, and after Lan Xingye arrived, he took a look around, and Zhao Xuanqing had not yet arrived.

She was greeted by the waiter and sat down at the window.

Lan Xingye ordered a glass of lemon juice, and after taking a sip, the sour taste went from the tip of his teeth to the root of his teeth, making Lan Xingye frown.

In fact, she has never loved lemons very much, and she doesn't like sour things, since she was a child, she has a sweet tooth, likes to eat candy and chocolate. Just because I suddenly thought of someone, he always seemed to have a faint lemon fragrance on his body.

It's really strange why it smells so good, but it tastes so sour.

She couldn't help but stick out her tongue, a little irritated by the lemon.

And she didn't notice her own qiē at all, and she had already been seen by another person.

On the VIP floor upstairs of the restaurant, on the top of the empty floor, a pair of warm eyes have been watching her. Since she came in from outside, Shao Mingyang has seen her. Seeing her order lemon juice, watching her take a sip, and then seeing her ridiculous appearance of sticking out her tongue because she couldn't stand the sourness, he couldn't help but smile.

"You know?" The woman opposite had a cold face, and her voice was also very indifferent.

Shao Mingyang's gaze shifted from Lan Xingye's body and fell back to the other party's face, "Well, she is my junior sister, and now she is working under my hands for the time being." ”

"For the time being?" That is, it is not formal yet.

"She is an employee of Fulan and is temporarily seconded to the world." (To be continued.) )
