She felt that she had slept for centuries before she came to her senses, and on a sunny afternoon in her dressing gown, she drank afternoon tea under the umbrella on the terrace. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info Ah Xi bought back the croissants from a German Western restaurant, freshly baked, with a burnt aroma, with a delicate small stainless steel spoon evenly coated with blueberry jam, after warming the red date tea with honey, dragged a circle of tasseled white lace tablecloth...... She sometimes thinks that in fact, she lives here the most peaceful, neither dragging down her life, nor facing the strange eyes cast on her by the left and right neighbors when she lives alone - this is a place where the relationship between people is relatively relaxed, you don't need to know me, I won't inquire about you, even if you meet with a set of the most superficial politeness, when you meet "Nong Hao", "thank you" after turning around, politely refuse people thousands of miles away, you don't have to tell your story to anyone, and you don't have to worry about who will spread your rumors, She had such hopes during her time in Zhabei - at that time she decided to go with Mr. Tang, partly because she was coerced by him, and partly because of the environment. Fortunately, he is actually not bad for her, although he doesn't come often, but he rarely comes.

That night, she stood by the railing of the terrace and watched the party held on the lawn in the distance, which was very lively, and she was in a good mood for a while. "Yo, I'm in good spirits today." He came up with a smile and brought her a towel blanket and put it on the armrest of the wicker chair. She smiled, he took her arm and sat on his lap, ate two cherries, and gave them to her to eat, "Sweet, huh?" If you like it, let Zhou's mother buy more ......" said that she took out the wallet from the inner pocket of the suit and wanted to leave her banknotes, although she resented him, she never wanted to ask him for more money, thinking about what it always looked like! So he returned the money he had left on the table, "No...... I'll tell you when I'm done. He glanced at her, took the banknote and put it under the fruit bowl containing the cherry, "You take it well, it's always more convenient to have more money on hand, buy whatever you want, buy better, don't worry too much......" He also saw her in Zhabei at that time to come out late at night to forage for food and felt a deep sadness in his heart, even though she now lives here and has a servant to take care of, he still can't rest assured, he doesn't have much time to accompany her, so he keeps money for her again and again, always thinking that she can be more comfortable and comfortable. And the pregnant woman's heart is also extraordinarily soft, even if he was wrong before, now he has given her a stable and worry-free life to give birth to a child, he is still quite attentive to her, originally she and him are not without emotional foundation, so what else can't be erased? For the first time, she fell on him and wept, and he was moved by crying, and he did not leave that night.

She began to learn to accept him, and she offered to tie his tie early in the morning, and he smiled in front of the mirror and turned his head back to "yo", halfway through and then unpacked, and sat on the edge of the bed to tie it for her. She didn't, and after two circles, she paused, "You teach me." He smiled, "I'll do it myself." ”

He didn't teach her to tie it, but in the days that followed, he cultivated her equally ruthless hand of cards. With him, it was inevitable to take part in some socializing, she permed her hair, put on her makeup, sat delicately and quietly behind him and looked at the cards, and he would occasionally turn back to her and teach her to leave no room for the right time - it was not enough to be in such a circle, and sometimes it was necessary to preemptively strike. There is an aunt wife who relies on the man to be an official of the patrol room, and has always been arrogant and domineering, once she saw the jade bracelet in Su Youling's hand, she was not satisfied that she wore such a color of jade at a young age, and challenged her at the card table, although she was not as treacherous and spicy as Mr. Tang, but she still had a ruthless force, and she was silent and only pressed the biggest card in her hand towards others. She was also good at cards that day, but she was so angry that people left when they dropped their cards. The next day, someone came to talk to Mr. Tang, and Mr. Tang smoked his cigarette and snorted, "The trivial things among women are also taken out to say that it is embarrassing, and tell him that sooner or later such a pattern will not be eaten." He didn't pay attention to it at all, this matter was not resolved later, and he didn't tell Su Youling. She has always adhered to this style and attitude, in fact, it is rare for a novice in her circle to win, but her way of doing things that does not leave room for the opportunity is a little frightening, and it is faintly not to be underestimated.

Some people say that she has a temperament like Mr. Tang, and she thought about it later, but in fact, she had the potential to be similar to him in some aspects from the beginning, and she had the same smell, so she developed like this. She also gradually figured out some things in the time after she was with him, she began to smile softly and indifferently, and used a white porcelain bowl to make him the Tieguanyin spring tea of the year, and the orchid fragrance of tea rose in the hot air, which was rich and long-lasting, and she would play with a piece of Tsing Yi on his lap when she was interested, just like she had sung in front of Lian Sheng before-her lower abdomen could already be seen, bulging, like a small mountain, cutting off many things. She is just a very ordinary woman, she doesn't read much, and she doesn't have any unswerving ideals and emotional beliefs in life, she will only start in front of her, watching the food and eating - she is pregnant with Mr. Tang's child, and she is with Mr. Tang, so she naturally does what she should do at this time, including wearing a tie, which she later learned, especially from Zhou's mother.

She has never contacted Gu Xiaochun, thinking that at that time, she knew that she had other feelings and still matched her and Lian Sheng like that, she would definitely not approve of her being with Mr. Tang now, she must have said that she was dizzy and made others small. And she didn't want to beg for scolding, so she just put it on hold, fortunately, she has a lot of worries in her life now, but she doesn't think about Gu Xiaochun so much.

In July, Li Xiaodong came to see her, he had been cooperating with Mr. Tang on the affairs of the foreign bank, and he didn't tell Gu Xiaochun anything. He told Mr. Tang that he wanted to visit Su Youling, but in fact, he had always felt guilty about her, and always felt that it was because of his negligence that she was in this situation. Su Youling was reluctant to see Xiaodong at first, and now she doesn't want to see the old people again, but Mr. Tang persuaded her to meet with others, after all, she was once a good friend. She thought about it later and felt that Xiaodong was different from others, he had a lot of contact with Mr. Tang, and he should not look at her and Mr. Tang in the same way as others.

It is the German Western restaurant where Axi often buys bread on Petain Road, and it is the time for morning and afternoon tea. Xiaodong arrived first, waiting for her in the train booth by the window, the afternoon sunlight in the shadows of the trees cast on, shining on his fluent German painted on the windowpane, there was a small insect outside the glass, and the backlight turned into a transparent amber color, crawling slowly along the strokes of the letters, as if to climb into the heart of a person...... He saw her coming from across the street, and felt like she had come from another century, she was wearing a white diamond-patterned cheongsam, her slightly permed hair was tucked behind her head, and she looked left and right as the cars passed by, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether she was good or bad. He smiled and waved his hand at her, and she smiled and waved. "Nong just happened to choose this Western restaurant...... she smiled and came over to sit across from him, beckoning to the waiter, he smiled, "Mr. Tang asked me to come here." She looked up, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, she probably knew what he was thinking, and nodded as she flipped through the tea list, "Yes, I've been here for afternoon tea twice......" She expertly ordered the snacks and tea she wanted, and asked him what he wanted, helping him talk to the waiter.

She is different from before, fat but not fat, her complexion seems to be much better, and she is a lot calmer, she talks to him without hurry, and smiles softly and tactfully. She probably lived a fairly good life, but he always felt that she was less aura than before, she used to have that kind of looking forward to the brilliance, the wild flowers in the field willful and arrogant temperament, not the same demeanor now. He deeply felt a sense of self-blame, thinking about what kind of psychological tribulation a person has to go through to wear off the layer of shining brilliance on his body. She must have been miserable and desperate, so she would leave Liansheng, and when she came back to be with Mr. Tang, he also thought that she must have been coerced, not voluntarily, and in any case, she was alone in this, and he never appeared, until today he sat here and looked at her with the air of a time that had passed by time - he confessed that he was later subject to Mr. Tang because of some selfish motives, and that he could not lose his fame and fortune, and he gave up on her by coercion and inducement by the means that the hooligans had always used. He hadn't planned to tell her about this, but when he saw her, he couldn't help but pour it all out, with the emotion of atonement. In fact, he didn't say that she could guess it, she didn't have a trace of blame for him, and there was part of her own reason for returning to Mr. Tang, she smiled and raised her eyes to look out the window, took a breath of relief, stroked her arms and said leisurely: "Actually, Old Tang is not bad...... You see your righteous anger, it's okay to me......" She was telling the truth, but he thought she was miserable self-comfort, and he didn't feel that the spoon in his hand was hard to scratch twice at the bottom of the cup, he really thought that he was a contradictory person, he couldn't look at her so wronged, and he couldn't let go of Mr. Tang over there, he couldn't do anything, so he could only say to her, "You have an unhappy call me......" while taking out a notepad and trying to leave her a phone, thinking that she had his phone, and put it back. She smiled and nodded, he looked at the time and was concerned, but she asked at the end, "Is he good...... "He started?" "I haven't met Brother Lian Sheng for a long time, I'll go see ...... another day" I don't know if he refuses to tell him, or if there is really no news from him, I think he won't be too embarrassed to see Lian Sheng.

He waved goodbye to her in the street, and he saw her cross the street, all the way west, and in the afterglow of the setting sun back to her home, a desolate air came over him, he took a deep breath, looked leisurely south to see if there was a tram coming, and then turned back and walked down the street, to the tram platform over there.

After separating from Su Youling, Xiaodong immediately went to find Lian Sheng. When Lian Sheng was called out, Xiaodong was standing on the side of the street smoking, and he didn't see him come out with his back to Lian Sheng, but Lian Sheng called him "Xiaodong" and came over to shake hands with him. This Xiaodong said a pleasant greeting today, asking him if he was busy now, when it would close, and he was going to let him smoke, Lian Sheng waved his hand, "Xiaodong, you have something to talk about directly." Xiaodong lowered his head and smoked in silence, Lian Sheng asked if Su Youling had gone to Gu Xiaochun, Xiaodong shook his head and said no, Lian Sheng fell silent, and looked at the dusk street scene with his hand in his pocket - she has been gone for more than two months, he spends every day in hope and disappointment, as long as he hears someone looking for him, he will first react "Is it related to her", and he is really about to collapse! He couldn't help but say to Xiaodong, "I'd rather she come back and call me to find a way together, what is it if she hides alone and is sad when something happens like this!" "Brother Liansheng, don't wait for her...... Maybe she's doing well now...... If she couldn't get by, she would have come back a long time ago......" Xiaodong finally couldn't help but persuade Lian Sheng to give up, he was resolute in the front, but he lacked confidence in the back, hesitated and thought about it, and slapped Lian Sheng's arm twice, buried his head in a heavy breath, and added a sentence "I don't think she will come back...... " said Bi Gu walked out, Lian Sheng glanced at him disapplauded, stood alone for a moment, and turned back to the store - he had already planned to change his residence, Mrs. Yan had a new baby there, and the cry often disturbed him so that he couldn't rest, He wanted to change places, but as soon as Su Youling left, the matter was put on hold again. He was afraid that she would be embarrassed to go to Hongdingfang, and maybe she would go to the residence to look for him, so he still lived there.
