Chapter 156: Providence Makes People
Chang Zaichuan didn't need Lin Zixia to say, so he obediently took off his shoes and socks and soaked his feet in. The temperature of the water was a little high, but the feeling of warm water instantly enveloping his feet made Tokogawa sigh comfortably.
Chang Zaichuan paints every day, either sitting or standing, and once he starts, it is a few hours, and he often paints until his lower limbs are numb, and then he changes his movements. Therefore, every day his feet are always cold because of the lack of blood flow.
After Lin Zixia knew about Chang Zaichuan's situation, she would prepare a basin of warm water for him every day, and put herbs in it to invigorate blood and relieve fatigue. At the beginning, Chang Zaichuan felt troublesome, and he always let Lin Zixia wait, which was a little embarrassing, but after a few days, Chang Zaichuan liked this feeling.
Even Chang Zaichuan himself couldn't tell whether he liked this warm feeling, or whether he liked the beauty of being served so attentively by Lin Zixia.
Chang Zaichuan has been around for so many years, and there is only one Baihe by his side. In foreign countries, they are fellow villagers, classmates, and friends who can explore a higher realm of painting together, but they are not confidants. Back in China, the relationship between the two people has changed and they have become an unmarried couple, but this huge turn of events does not seem to mean anything to the two people, and they still live in the same space in parallel.
And Chang Zaichuan never thought of getting anything from Baihe, just maintain the status quo.
But Lin Zixia accidentally broke into their lives, although she didn't know how to paint at all, but she used her dexterous hands, bright smile, tireless busyness, gentle and delicate care, so that Chang Zaichuan's eyes stayed on her for more and more time, and he didn't even look at Baihe like this once.
Chang Zaichuan didn't know if he liked Lin Zixia, but he was used to her being by his side, and he was used to her constantly doing this and that for herself. He didn't even notice that he had never liked to laugh much, only when facing Lin Zixia, the corners of his mouth would involuntarily dye a smile, relaxed and casual, but also gentle and warm, like the first morning light in the sky before dawn, which made people can't help but be fascinated.
Lin Zixia's heartbroken by her ex-boyfriend was automatically healed in Chang Zaichuan's natural smile.
She was so intoxicated by his smile that it was like a dream, so beautiful that she didn't want to wake up!
However, no matter how beautiful the dream is, it will wake up after all! If you don't belong to yourself, you can only wait and see after all!
Lin Zixia gave Chang Zaichuan a shoulder massage evenly, and her tone was a little ethereal: "Brother Zaichuan, go and bring Sister Baihe back, you are about to get married, she is not happy, you can coax her, women need to be coaxed." ”
Chang Zaichuan closed his eyes and hummed lightly, he still remembered that Baihe was his wife who had not passed through the door.
"Tomorrow, I'll go out and look for a house and move out on my own." Lin Zixia still said softly.
This time, Chang Zaichuan opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Lin Zixia in confusion: "Why do you want to move away, isn't it good to live here?" If you find cooking hard, I can give you a raise. ”
Lin Zixia listened to Chang Zaichuan's words, and her heart was mixed. After all, he is a servant or an employee! As the boss, he has calculated well for her, what else can he expect?
Lin Zixia smiled bitterly: "Brother Zaichuan, you and Sister Baihe are going to get married in a few days, and it's inconvenient for me to live here." ”
"yes, it doesn't seem like it's been a few days, but what does this have to do with you? What's inconvenient? Chang Zaichuan frowned.
Lin Zixia's heart was a little more bitter! yes, what do you have to do with them? I'm an outsider after all! It's okay this way, the two don't owe each other, they have nothing to do with each other, and she will just be their employee in the future.
"Brother Zaichuan, I am an outsider after all, I live with you, and others will gossip, so it will not have a good impact on you. I've moved out, and it's not too far away, and I'm still working in the gallery, so we see each other every day. ”
Chang Zaichuan thought about it, and it seemed that there was some truth, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you find a house closer to here." After Chang Zaichuan finished speaking, he walked back to his room.
Lin Zixia looked at Chang Zaichuan's back, and a heavy sigh slipped through her heart......
On the border with country N in the southeast, surrounded by mountains, there is an abandoned mine, which looks quiet and desolate under the faint moonlight.
However, in a row of factories to the north of the mine, the lights were bright, and many workers were wearing white overalls, white work hats on their heads, and thick white masks on their mouths. They were all nervously busy, packing bags of white powder into cardboard boxes, then packing them and piling them up.
On the hillside outside the mine, a team of people quietly came up, and the leader of the team was Zheng Yukai, who had been missing for many days.
On the day Zheng Yukai left the hotel, he called Baihe, but she turned off her phone. Zheng Yukai is the person who will execute something as soon as it is decided. He didn't go home and drove directly to Baihe's house. But he didn't see Baihe, but saw Baihe's father, the mayor Baigechuan.
Bai Gechuan did not let Zheng Yukai enter the house, but took him directly to his office.
Zheng Yukai is not the first time to see Baigechuan, but it used to be a business matter, he was upright, neither humble nor arrogant, but now it is a private matter, he wants to marry someone else's daughter, he has never done this, and his palms can't help but sweat.
Bai Gechuan looked at Zheng Yukai, who was magnificent, and couldn't help but admire. Their daughters still have vision, but they are destined to fail! If Chang Zaichuan can have one-tenth of Zheng Yukai's spirit, Baigechuan will have no regrets! It's a pity that providence makes people!
Zheng Yukai first broke the silence and said very sincerely and straightforwardly: "Uncle Bai, I like Baihe and want to marry her." Zheng Yukai did not call the mayor, but called Uncle Bai, hoping to narrow the distance between him and Baige River.
Bai Gechuan smiled slightly: "Xiao Zheng, I am very happy that you can like Baihe, but my Xiaohe is about to get married, so it is not appropriate for you to propose marriage again." ”
Zheng Yukai nodded and said, "I know, and I've also seen Chang Zaichuan." His family background is better than mine, but family background does not guarantee happiness. And Chang Zaichuan, he can be a good painter, but he definitely can't be a good husband, he can't give Baihe a lifetime of happiness! Shouldn't Uncle Bai think about Baihe's happiness? ”
Bai Gechuan's face was a little dark: "Young man, don't make judgments!" Baihe is my daughter, and I certainly wish her happiness for the rest of her life! Only by marrying into the Chang family can she ensure the stability and prosperity of her life. ”
"Uncle Bai, are you sure that what you arranged is what Baihe wants? Doesn't she have the right to choose her own happiness? Zheng Yukai frowned, he keenly felt that there must be a collusion of interests in the marriage between Baihe and Chang Zaichuan, but what it is, Zheng Yukai doesn't know yet, but he will investigate, he will definitely find out!
Bai Gechuan's face became more gloomy: "I'm just such a daughter, can I still harm her?" Isn't a girl's home just trying to have a stable life? Do you know your profession, you are running around every day, born and dying, can you give Baihe happiness? When she needs you, she can't even touch your personal figure, what happiness can she have? Therefore, it is for the happiness of my daughter's life that I let her marry into the Chang family! Today, what I said is clear enough, I'm going to work, you can go! "Baige Chuan mercilessly issued an eviction order.
Baigechuan's words have to be said to be very reasonable. Whoever has a daughter is not willing to marry a man who runs around every day and doesn't care about his family! If Baihe marries into the Chang family, there is really happiness at all, Zheng Yukai is willing to let go and fulfill her! But that's not the case at all! That night, Baihe's behavior was enough to illustrate her pain and despair! And she is so attached and reluctant to Zheng Yukai!
Now, Baihe has become his Zheng Yukai's woman, and he has the right to give her a happiness! Especially, that morning, when Zheng Yukai saw a bright blood stain like a plum blossom on the bed sheet, he was firm, he wanted a hundred lotus, he was going to decide!
Zheng Yukai left Baigechuan's office and drove back to the military compound, where his parents were there. Zheng Yukai did not hide anything, and explained to the second elder the matter between him and Baihe, hoping that his father could come forward and take the initiative to propose to Baigechuan.
The two old men, after listening to Zheng Yukai's narration, unexpectedly let out a sigh in unison.
Zheng Yukai's mother said with some regret: "Xiao Kai, haven't you always liked Xiaoqing?" I always thought you could marry Xiaoqing back. ”
Zheng Yukai's heart ached, and he said gloomily: "Xiaoqing is already married to Qin Zhengyang, and they love each other very much. ”
Mother Zheng sighed and said, "It's because you're not blessed!" Xiaoqing is such a good girl, beautiful, sweet and well-behaved, and very well-behaved and sensible, the key is that she is always full of energy, which is very suitable for a family like ours. You said, you want to marry a delicate lady, she won't take care of you, she still needs someone to take care of her, how can you live this day? ”
Zheng Yukai frowned, he really didn't think about it so much.
Zheng's father Zheng Yuedong said: "Xiaokai, it's not that Dad doesn't help you, it's just that my position is low, and I don't have any friendship with Baigechuan, so people may not take me seriously." Besides, what about the Chang family? Even if Baigechuan wants to repent of marriage, is the Chang family willing? They are about to hold a wedding, and they will temporarily regret their marriage, which will have a bad impact on both families, saying that it will affect their reputation if it is small, and it may affect their political career if it is big! So, what happened to you and Baihe, if Baihe doesn't say anything, you should treat it as if nothing happened! ”
Just act as if nothing happened? That's not his Zheng Yukai's style!
