Chapter 19: Why return home
For a week, I reported on time early in the morning to deliver flowers downstairs, which was more diligent than punching in, and the whole office was a sensation.
The purple forget-me-not reclined on the desk, like a melancholy sea, with a magnificent dream. Once Zhao Mingxuan asked strangely, "Xiaoya, girls like that kind of delicate and fragrant flowers, roses, lilies, phalaenopsis...all are beautiful, why do you like this kind of flower without fragrance?" ”
Tang Xiaoya always smiled sweetly while holding the flower, "I just like its blue and faint name, it's forget-me-not...... Don't forget, don't forget, it represents eternal memory, no matter when and where you are in the future, as long as you see it, you can think of me...."
In fact, what first attracted her was the legend about forget-me-not. A man wants to pluck this flower for the woman he loves, but unexpectedly falls into a swamp. His face was getting closer to the ground, but the flower in his hand was raised higher and higher, and he smiled and said to her, "Forget-me-not." The woman rushed desperately and fell, covering her face with her hands, tears dripping from her fingers, drenching the field.
Perhaps sadness is contagious, and the once unforgettable love has been washed away by time, and now only the fading nostalgia remains.
Later, after Lu Mingxuan went abroad, every time Tang Xiaoya passed by the flower shop, she would stop for a while, looking for the familiar handful of blue blue, but she never bought it.
If the glimpse of the café was still a bit of a trance, then these flowers had confirmed that suspicion, and the person who thought that the end of the world might have come to this city, maybe somewhere not far from her.
Zhao Mingxuan, why do you want to appear? Want to come back and show off your happiness or show off your accomplishments? The answer was revealed sooner than she expected.
On this day, Jiayu Company offered to sign a contract with Hongyu, and Lin Zhongyang threw the case to Tang Xiaoya to be responsible.
Jiayu is a joint venture, and it is said that the United States has sent a new representative from China, who has recently arrived.
Because it was upstairs and downstairs, she personally went to Jiayu Company to discuss with their person in charge, and the beauty in the secretary's room took her to the reception room. After a while, she heard footsteps, the door opened, and a slender figure entered, with a plaid shirt and slacks, it was Lu Mingxuan, who she hadn't seen for many years. The man in front of him was as handsome and upright as ever, but there was more maturity between his eyebrows and eyes, and he seemed more stable and generous. Tang Xiaoya was stunned for a moment.
Lu Mingxuan's heart was also mixed, he looked deeply at the woman in a white dress in front of him, his eyes were still clear and bright, like mist and water, and those astringent and sweet pasts came one by one.
"Xiaoya, after so many years, are you okay?"
Tang Xiaoya calmed down and smiled softly, "Well, I'm fine, are you okay?" Mingxuan. ”
Lu Mingxuan took a step forward and muttered, "I'm not good, Xiaoya, I haven't been able to forget you all these years...."
Want to do it? There has been no news for five years, and she hid in a no-man's corner and cried quietly in those nights, where is Zhao Mingxuan?
Tang Xiaoya was speechless for a while, not knowing where to start. In fact, his happiness has nothing to do with her, so the only thing left is work.
She took out the contract and handed it over, looking businesslike, "Mingxuan, I have other arrangements in the morning, and I don't dare to delay your time, or let's talk about the details of the contract first." ”
"There is nothing wrong with the contract, I will leave it to Manager Chen." Lu Mingxuan sighed and clasped her hand, "Xiaoya, you also know that I did this, but I just wanted to meet you..."
"I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first...."Tang Xiaoya gently withdrew her hand, turned around, and left the reception room, leaving Zhao Mingxuan standing in place.
Throughout the day, Tang Xiaoya ran in and out, busy with everything else, and put Lu Mingxuan's affairs aside for the time being. Being busy is sometimes a good thing, and it can make you forget a lot of worries. At this time, she is especially grateful to the boss for his wisdom, which fills her time as a newcomer early in the morning,....
After work, she and a few colleagues had dinner outside, and then called Mickey Mouse, but the woman didn't know where she was, and the signal was always there, and then she simply hung up. She simply walked around the street, until it was nearly ten o'clock before returning home.
The small park in front of the building was very quiet and empty, Tang Xiaoya habitually walked in the direction of the bench, and suddenly a figure walked out from the opposite side, a familiar face, with concern in his eyes.
"Xiaoya, let's talk..."
Tang Xiaoya's panic when they first met, after more than ten hours of precipitation, her heart has slowly calmed down. Fragments of those memories are pieced together pieced together...
"Okay, Mingxuan, you say, I'll listen." She replied faintly, sat straight on the bench, and looked at Zhao Mingxuan sitting beside her. Such a close and palpable distance used to be her extravagant hope, and she could only appear in her dreams countless times.
So close, so far.
Lu Mingxuan raised his head and asked slowly, "Xiaoya, do you know that I had to choose to go abroad for what I wanted to do in the first place?" You don't ask anything seriously, for what? ”
Tang Xiaoya turned her head indignantly and looked at him, "Zhao Mingxuan, what do you mean by that, when you said that you were sorry for me, that you made a very helpless choice, aren't these enough?" Okay, then tell me, if I had asked seriously, would the ending have been different, and you would have stayed for me? ”
"Xiaoya, don't be angry, listen to me." Lu Mingxuan stroked her shoulders and looked at her motionlessly, as if he wanted to rub the eyebrows and eyes of the woman in front of him into his heart.
"Say, give you the last chance, I want to hear how helpless you are?" Tang Xiaoya replied stupidly.
"Xiaoya, do you know that when Lu Dao was about to graduate, did my father have cancer?" Lu Mingxuan seemed to be caught in old memories, picking up those mottled scars, a little bit, it was pain....
Cancer? Why didn't she hear him mention it at all?
"At that time, you were busy working part-time, looking for a job, and you were so busy, how dare I increase your burden?" Lu Mingxuan sighed lightly, and then recalled.
"At that time, I took leave to spend a month with my father in the hospital, and the doctor said that I had just found a matching bone marrow, but at least 300,000 yuan had to be raised for chemotherapy and surgery. You also know the situation of my family, my parents are poor teachers, and I have a younger sister who is in school, where can I raise so much money. At that time, I borrowed money everywhere but it was a drop in the bucket, so I found Shen Mingfang, the general manager of the part-time company, hoping that she could help me, and promised to work hard after graduation to repay on time. Unexpectedly, she readily agreed, but put forward a condition, that is, she wanted me to accompany her to the United States to develop the market. ”
Tang Xiaoya thought about it, and now she understands Lu Mingxuan's strange appearance during that time, often frowning, sighing and sighing, looking at her and stopping, probably because of the entanglement. When they graduated, as soon as the news of their breakup spread, it was rumored among their classmates, all saying that Zhao Mingxuan was empathetic and not in love, and he and the rich girl were ready to live and fly together, but it turned out that it was not groundless. And she, the client, is probably the last one to know the truth.
Seeing that she was silent, Lu Mingxuan became a little anxious, "At that time, I was in a hurry to use the money to operate on my father, so I agreed to her. Later, after coming to the United States, she confessed to me, and I realized that she also had a mind. But, Xiaoya, I have always regarded Shen Mingfang as my boss and work partner, and I can be sure that I only have you in my heart over the years, so after paying off the debt, I will apply to the head office, and I want to see you when I come back. ”
"Mingxuan ......" Tang Xiaoya looked at his anxious eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, and her eyes gradually became wet. Actually, she didn't want to cry, but, somehow, she suddenly felt sad.
Lu Mingxuan hugged her violently, tightly, not daring to let go. The beautiful face in front of him, this warm and delicate body, so familiar, so beautiful, in those difficult and difficult days in the United States, he touched it thousands of times in his dreams, and now he has returned to his embrace, at this moment, his heart is suddenly steady, like a fishing boat docking.
"Let's start over, Xiaoya?" Lu Mingxuan's eyes were full of anticipation, and he suddenly clasped her waist, found her lips, leaned over, but the person in his arms turned his face away and pushed him away for a distance.
Lu Mingxuan looked at her puzzled, "What's the matter, Xiaoya, I know that you should still have me in your heart, otherwise, you wouldn't be single so far, would you?" ”
Tang Xiaoya couldn't tell what was going on with her, she had found a lot of reasons for him to leave, but she didn't expect it to come true, but now she hesitated for no reason, "Mingxuan, all this is too sudden for me, when you left, I thought you were just empathetic and don't fall in love, or you wanted to pursue a new life, but now I know that everything is probably doomed, and the transposition is me, and it is estimated that I will make the same choice, but, after all, it has been five years, and in those days, we are blank for each other, and everything changes too fast." …… I need time to think about ......"
Lu Mingxuan sighed, "Okay, I won't force you, but I hope that day will come sooner." ”
