22. Chapter 21

At night, I sat alone in the gazebo in the courtyard. Next to my house is a large forest park, and it is a pure land in the city shrouded in neon and exhaust fumes. When the weather is good, you can see a bright and vast star curtain when you look up, which is almost dizzying.

It's like tonight.

Qin Yan didn't know when he came, but when I turned my head to find him, he seemed to have been standing there for a while. I was stunned for a moment, watched him walk over slowly, and gently picked the corner of my lower lip: "Seeing that you closed your eyes, I thought you were asleep." ”

I was silent for two seconds, and then smiled at him: "I'm looking at the stars, I'm a little dizzy, just close my eyes and rest for a while." ”

He reached out and touched my forehead, shook my hand again, and frowned: "Why is it so cold?" ”

I withdrew my hand from his hand and hid it in my shawl: "It's nothing, it's like this after taking the medicine." ”

He sat down on the stone bench next to me and said, "Didn't you say that you were fine some time ago, why did you suddenly get sick again?" ”

I shrugged my shoulders and pretended to be light-hearted and said, "Sometimes it's just a little repetitive, don't worry." ”

Qin Yan was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and after almost ten seconds, he said: "The evidence on the side of the Public Security Bureau has been almost collected, and the prosecution process will begin soon." ”

It took me a moment to know what he was talking about, but I didn't know how to answer for a while, and I couldn't even say thank you when I remembered the reason behind his actions.

After being quiet for a long time, Qin Yan opened his mouth and called me again: "Buckwheat." ”

I came back to my senses, smiled at him, and I said, "Well, I heard you called me in the afternoon, is there anything wrong?" ”

He lowered his eyes and thought for two seconds, then lowered his head and took out something from his trouser pocket: "Today, the secretary received an engagement ring from Italy, and I wanted you to try it." ”

He handed me a square, black velvet box, and I reached out to take it, and then I heard him say, "I received the cufflinks you put on my desk that day, and I didn't have time to buy you anything, so I had to reluctantly take this as a gift in return." ”

I opened the box, and it was a pair of platinum rings, a very simple model, and the women's one was decorated with full pavé diamonds. I took it out and looked at it, and the inside of the ring was engraved with my initials and his. I put it on my hand and tried it out, and it was the right size, and I touched the diamond, which was brighter than a star, and after a few seconds, I raised my eyes and said, "Well, I think it's pretty good, what do you think?" ”

He chuckled lightly: "I don't see anything, you can just like it." ”

Then we didn't speak again, and after a moment of silence, he leaned back against the stone pillar behind him, looked up at the sky for a while, and slowly closed his eyes. The light in the pavilion was a little dazed, and I looked at him quietly for a long time, perhaps at least a quarter of an hour. I think he must have fallen asleep and had a very peaceful face. I slowly moved over to observe the moonlit half of his face, I had never looked at him so closely and closely, it turned out that there was a faint fine line at the corner of his left eye, and when the corners of his mouth relaxed, it was a slightly raised arc.

I squeezed my hand over my shawl until it wasn't so cold, and then carefully placed it on his face, my index finger brushing the mole around his sideburns...... This guy I've liked him for so long.

After a few seconds, Qin Yan's eyelids trembled slightly, and then opened half of his eyes very slowly, my hand still rested on his face, he looked at me quietly with his eyes half-closed, and after a while, he gently picked the corner of his lips: "Take advantage of me while I'm asleep?" ”

I touched the corner of his mouth again, and pretended to regret it, "Yes, I wanted to kiss you, but you woke up before I could kiss you." ”

The corners of his lips widened, "Then do you want me to close my eyes again?" ”

I shook my head and put my hand down: "There is no pretending to be asleep in the story of Sleeping Beauty, next time I will kiss you when you are really asleep." ”

He didn't say anything with a smile, I lowered my head and was silent for a while, raised my eyes to look at him, and said softly, "Qin Yan, are you happy?" ”

He didn't speak, his eyebrows moved slightly, as if he was in doubt, and I said, "I mean, what do you think will make you happy?" ”

He lowered his eyes, as if thinking, and after a while, he squinted his eyes slightly at me: "I can't tell, buckwheat, your problem is a bit big." ”

I said, "It's not big at all, I think...... As long as I can keep drawing, I can buy the paintings I like, and then I and all the people around me can always be safe and healthy, and I can stay with the people I like all the time, I am very happy. After a pause, I asked him, "What about you?" Is it given to the people and things you want, and you will feel happy and happy? ”

After listening, he was quiet for a few seconds, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Maybe." ”

I bowed my head again for a long time, and said to myself, "I see." ”

After a long while, Qin Yan reached over and gently lifted my chin, and then he was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?" ”

I wiped my eyes and smiled reluctantly, "No, I miss my mom." ”

He paused, grabbed my wrist and gently pulled it in his direction, I went over and hugged him, resting my head on his shoulder, I choked up and whispered in his ear: "If one day I am gone, will you miss me too?" ”

He froze a little, and after two seconds, he laughed and came out: "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about?" Buckwheat, your illness is just a minor illness, take a good rest and you'll be fine. ”

I closed my eyes and stopped talking, and I wish it had been a little longer on a summer night like this.

Later, after sending Qin Yan out, I went back to my room to rest, and soon after, I heard a sound from the guest room next to the second floor, it should be Li Xiao who came back. After sitting quietly for a long time, the sound of water in the bathroom next door stopped, and I came out of the room, walked to the guest room and knocked on Li Xiao's door.

When she came to answer the door, I said to her, "Li Xiao, are you free in two days, I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”

Two days later, I asked Qin Yan to have dinner in a Western restaurant.

I arrived half an hour earlier than scheduled, at a window position in the lobby, and after more than twenty minutes, I saw Qin Yan's car driving in from the window.

After drinking another half glass of lemonade, someone sat down in the opposite seat. I looked at the table below, and it was exactly the agreed time, which was exactly the same.

Qin Yan opened the napkin and put it under him, and asked me, "Why don't you book it in the private room and be quiet." ”

I raised my eyes and said, "Don't you think it's quite lively in the lobby, and there will be people coming to play the violin in a while." He glanced to the side again and sighed: "Just have to endure that there are always girls who flatter you." ”

He laughed nonchalantly: "If you are unbalanced in your heart, you can also throw it." ”

I didn't have anything to say, so I just raised my hand, and the waiter came over to order.

After serving the first plate and cream soup, in the interval between waiting for the main dish, Qin Yan asked the waiter who played the violin to come over and asked me what song I wanted to listen to, I thought about it, and I couldn't think of anything else for a while, so I said casually: "Liang Zhu". ”

Qin Yan said: "Liang Zhu"? Why order such a sad tune, it is better to order Diniku's "Skylark". ”

I lowered my eyes and said, "Oh, it's okay...... and then whispered: "I'm not Miss Jiang, how can I know so many famous violin songs." ”

He looked at me for a few seconds, seemed to laugh very softly, looked up and said to the waiter, "Just "Liang Zhu". ”

So we started eating the steak in a song that was like a dead mother, and the musicians worked hard for seven or eight minutes. At the end, Qin Yan gave him a generous tip with a smile and a smile.

After another ten minutes or so, when I finally settled the main course, I put down my knife and fork, coughed lightly, and took another sip of lemonade. After a few seconds, I heard the two girls at the next table who had just sat down start chatting.

One of them said: "Big star, your recent schedule is too full, and I asked you to eat three times before I was willing to reward your face once." ”

The other said: "I can't help it, sister, I've been messing around in Y City recently." There is a film that is about to be filmed, but the crew is very demanding, so we have to go to the dance school for two months of training. I press my legs and lower my waist every day, don't you see me coming in with a limp, it hurts so much that my bones are scattered all over my body and I can make a sauce skeleton. ”

"Such an exaggeration, haven't you also acted in classical dance before?"

"Classical dance is just throwing off the water sleeves, how simple it is, learning ballet is a real effort, okay......" She paused for a moment, and then said: "But the teacher who taught us is really beautiful enough, she is almost thirty years old, and she really can't see it on her face at all, she feels like a twenty-four or five-year-old girl, my agent saw her eyes straight, and wanted to sign her." Later, I chatted with her and learned that she used to be from N City, and she also went to the High School Attached to the Normal University in middle school, and I thought about it, there are not two who can be more beautiful than me in the history of the High School, and Meicheng must have been a man of the year back then. I came back and inquired, sure enough, it was the school flower of the class of 06, and I heard that I almost married the eldest young master of the Qin family back then, you know the Qin family, it's the famous big consortium. ”

I stared down at the dessert in front of me, pretending not to hear anything. After being silent for a moment, I raised my head, Qin Yan lowered his eyes on the other side, and he didn't have any expression.

Li Xiao said to her companion on the side, "Hey, I'll go to the bathroom first." With that, he stood up and left the table.

Half a minute after she left, Qin Yan put down the tableware, put the napkin on the dining table, stood up and said to me, "I'm sorry, I'm out of company." ”
