I couldn't sleep all night in April, and when it was about to dawn, I fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up, I touched the futon next to me, and there was no temperature for a long time.

She got up and washed up briefly, combed her messy hair and tied it up, and then found the old clothes she had worn when she arrived. Although there are many beautiful and expensive clothes here, not a single plant or tree in this house belongs to her, and she is still the same when she comes in.

When she stepped out of the room, Chen's mother was watering the narcissus on the windowsill. Seeing her come out, Chen's mother greeted her lightly and told her, "Breakfast is ready, you go and eat, there is still nutritious porridge in the kitchen, it is still warm, if it is not enough, go inside." ”

April brought the bag with him, and he was a little embarrassed, so he excused himself and said, "Mother Chen, I'm bothering you these days, I'm leaving, and I won't eat breakfast." ”

Hearing this, Mother Chen put down the watering can in her hand and turned her head to look at her, "Miss Lin, Mr. has ordered when he went out, be sure to wait until you have breakfast before leaving." ”

April was stunned, she didn't expect him to go out so early, and she couldn't say goodbye to him. Standing in place and silent for a moment, she nodded to Chen's mother, "Thank you, then I'll go for breakfast." ”

"Okay, Miss Lin."

After coming for so many days, she was always called Miss Lin, and April felt a little uncomfortable, she smiled at the other party, turned around and walked towards the living room. The long dining table was still lined with a variety of breakfast and pastries, and April glanced at where she usually sits, and there were no porcelain bowls piled up in the shape of a hill on the table.

She watched quietly for a moment, then slowly walked over and sat down, as if she had no sense of self, and when she came back to her senses, she filled the empty bowl with almost every meal.

What's wrong with you? April frowned and wanted to put the pastry back in the bowl in its place, but she didn't know what came to mind, so she picked up her chopsticks, picked up a xiaolongbao, and took a bite gently. There was still some sweet taste, but her stomach seemed to get used to the taste, and she mechanically moved her chopsticks to swallow the food into her stomach little by little. When the snow-white bottom of the bowl was in front of her, she put away her chopsticks and sat in place for a while, then she got up and slung her bag over her shoulder.

When she turned around, Chen's mother had been waiting for her for a while, and when she saw her looking at her, she said, "Mr. asked me to send you out." ”

"Well, thank you."

"Miss Lin, you are too polite, this is my business." As she spoke, Chen's mother took the lead in leading the way in front and slowly led her to the direction of the exit.

Originally, Chen's mother asked her if she wanted to send a driver to take her back, but April politely refused. After saying goodbye, April stood alone on the side of the road, with vehicles coming and going, and the few taxis that were sporadic and manned.

The Gu family's house is not in the downtown area, the environment here is deep and clean, the vehicles on the road are some famous cars and luxury cars, there are few taxis, and buses are even more impossible. After waiting for most of the day, seeing that the sun was hanging high, she still didn't stop the car, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

At this moment, she saw a taxi coming slowly not far away, and April took a few steps forward with a fluke mentality. A short distance away, the passenger driver's door was opened, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out. April was overjoyed, and quickly grabbed the car door, "Master, I'm going to the Jingyuan community in the old city, can I trouble you to give it a ride." ”

The driver seemed a little surprised, and after a pause for a few seconds, a slightly muffled voice sounded, "Come in." ”

"Thank you, thank you." April thanked him repeatedly, opened the car door and sat in.

She glanced sideways at the driver, and saw that he was wearing a duck tongue, and the brim of his hat was pressed very low, and from her angle, she could only vaguely see the beautiful curve of the other party's lips. Her glasses were left in the rented house, so her vision was blurred, and she couldn't see things until she was up close.

I don't know if it's her delusion, she feels that this driver feels familiar to her, as if she has seen it somewhere.

"Do you want to listen to music?" The man next to her asked politely.

It takes more than 40 minutes to get to the old town, and April also felt that the atmosphere of not talking would be a little awkward and boring, so he said, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome." The man smiled vaguely and casually turned on the music.

Suddenly, a soothing piece of music flowed through the carriage, a folk song in the Russian style, with an inexplicable sadness in the slow tempo. April listened carefully, although she couldn't understand a word of the lyrics. The man glanced at her and raised his eyebrows, "Have you heard this song?" ”

"Nope." April shook her head, "I just think it sounds good." ”

"The song has a story about a Russian soldier who is going to the battlefield and his beloved girl says she will wait for him to come back. Three years later, when the deadline they had agreed upon had expired, and the soldier still hadn't returned, and—" the driver shrugged, "and the girl was married. ”

"Huh?" April's eyes widened in surprise.

"Heh, lie to you." The man laughed and said nonsense: "The girl has been waiting for him in her hometown, and the family said that he will not come back, but the girl refuses to believe it." In this way, she waited and waited, from a young girl in her prime to an old girl that no one wanted, but there was still no news of the soldier. As he spoke, he turned his head slightly and asked her, "If it were you, would you keep waiting?" Waiting hopelessly. ”

April thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. ”

"I thought you would say yes."

"Why?" April looked back at him, only to see that the corners of the other party's mouth were slightly hooked, full of interest.

"Because—" The man dragged out his tone, then paused, and continued, "You look very affectionate." ”

What is the answer. April laughed a little.

The man put away the smile on his face and continued indifferently, "One day, the soldier returned, and he had become a veteran, missing an arm, and a woman by his side. Speaking of which, he concluded: "It's really a sad story. ”

It's really sad, obviously the soldier said that she wanted to wait for him, but she didn't wait for the person she was waiting for.

There was silence in the car, and I didn't notice when the music was turned off.

It's just that it's too quiet, and April only felt that something was wrong, she glanced sideways ahead, and suddenly said, "Master, you forgot to punch in." ”

"Oh, I just accidentally forgot." The man said casually, and then there was a clicking sound in the car.

At this point, half of the time has passed.

April was silent, glanced at his hat, and suddenly said, "Why do you keep wearing a hat?" ”

"When you get used to it, you feel bad without a hat." The man returned faintly.

Somehow her heart beat half a beat, she turned her neck to look out the window, the shadows of the trees quickly receded, the road was empty, and there were basically no people.

April pinched her palm hard, and the tingling sensation from her palm made her heart calm down a little. She swallowed subconsciously and said calmly: "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to deal with, so you can stop on the side of the road, the place where I want to do something is very close to here." ”

"Oh? Such a coincidence? The man chuckled and slowly looked back at her, "When did you recognize me?" His voice was restored to its original clear quality.

Under the brim of the hat, those eyes were cold and compassionate, straight and unhindered to her.

Why?

If it weren't for the iconic scar on his face that she had just accidentally seen him, she wouldn't have thought it was him.

"Miss Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, we are really fated." He tugged at the corners of his mouth, smiling rather than smiling.

"What the hell is your purpose?" April doesn't talk nonsense and gets straight to the point. This road is not the way she went home at all.

He Xu continued to look ahead, drove the car intently, took the time to glance at her, and said with a smile: "Don't be so strict, I just want to take you to my place to sit and catch up." ”

Looking like that, it was clear that he didn't plan to let her get out of the car. April is not stupid, she only has a one-sided relationship with the other party, and he can't make it a mistake to catch up with her. After thinking about it again and again, she asked hesitantly: "If it's for that unfinished business, I'm sorry, I'll return the 100,000 yuan to you." "Because it was sent anonymously, she didn't know how to return it.

Seeing her stern expression and serious tone, he was amused, "You misunderstood, I said at the time that that the money would be used as your medical expenses." I need you to do me a favor now, though. ”

"I'm sorry, I can't help you." April refused.

Hearing this, He Xu slowly put away his smile, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, "What are you panicking about, I haven't said anything yet." ”

April did not speak.

The man didn't expect her to say anything, but only said in a leisurely and lazy voice: "I heard that you are Xiao Li's old classmate, I just want you to do a small favor." ”

It turned out to be related to Xiao Li, April narrowed his eyes, thought about it for a while, and said coldly: "What if I don't agree." ”

"That's not up to you." The man replied softly and deftly.

He Xu said ambiguously, April didn't know what he wanted her to do, but it was not difficult to imagine that it was definitely not a good thing. If it is to be unfavorable to Xiao Li, although she is just a small person, she can't say anything about betraying her friends. A variety of thoughts flashed through her mind, she vetoed them one by one, glanced out the window, and found that there was no one on the road, she was ruthless, and suddenly opened the car door.

Squeak -
