Chapter 6: The Autumn Night Wind is Gloomy
Lin Xiaoxian didn't come to class for two days, Ling Zixuan looked at the empty seat next to him, and felt empty in his heart, he had been sitting alone for two years and felt comfortable, when did he start to feel this kind of loneliness, the sudden change made Ling Zixuan feel uneasy.
"Tian Tian, I miss Concubine Lin, I'll go to her house with you to deliver notes, see if Aunt Lin's feet are better." Shi Huan is like being beaten every day.
"I can meet your little request, Yingying, you can't go." He Tiantian pushed Zhou Yunying, who was drinking milk next to him.
"I have to go to the store, I've been very busy these days." Zhou Yunying showed a talent for sales at a young age, and now she is an indispensable and important person in her aunt's shop.
"Concubine Zhou, I advise you to focus on your studies at a young age, and don't let the dazzling gold and silver dazzle of your two beautiful peach blossom eyes dazzle you." Shi Huan can't stand a little girl of the same age who can make more money than him.
"I was satisfied when I went to a normal university." Zhou Yunying looked longing, "Then open a bigger store too." ”
"It's over, you girl has completely fallen into the money hole, what about the man, he is so rich and doesn't want to raise a little white face." Shi Huan smiled evilly.
"I'm not interested in the little white face, what about the white-faced scholar......" Zhou Yunying smiled worse than Shi Huan.
After school, Ling Zixuan sent the driver who picked him up, and followed He Tiantian and Shi Huan from a distance, Lin Xiaoxian's house was very close to the school, and after a while, he saw them enter a six-story building.
As soon as He Tiantian and Shi Huan entered the door, they smelled a pungent fragrance.
"Come on, today I made sauce elbow and sweet and sour fish for the two of you, Shi Huan let go of eating today." Lin Feiyang came out with a vegetable spoon.
"Uncle Lin, you're back." He Tiantian changed into slippers and went to see Lin's mother.
"In the past few days on a business trip, thanks to your care, I also brought notes to Xiaoxian."
"It should be, it should be." Shi Huan only had sauce elbows in his eyes.
After eating, Lin Xiaoxian brought a king-size fruit plate, and Father Lin asked her to sit down.
"There's one thing I want to tell you, you and Ying Ying are Xiaoxian's best friends." Dad Lin looked at these young faces, revealing full of fatherly love.
He Tiantian was very keen, and felt that something was wrong, and Xiaoxian had very few words tonight.
"My job may have to be transferred, and you may not be able to attend next year's graduation together."
"How much longer." He Tiantian's eyes were a little red.
"About a month."
Shi Huanqiang swallowed the apple in his mouth and felt that this bite was so bitter.
When it got dark, the two came out of the Lin family and walked listlessly, no one wanted to talk.
He Tiantian knew Lin Xiaoxian first. In the year she graduated from junior high school, she has always been the capital for her parents to show off in front of relatives and colleagues, she tried her best to satisfy her parents, but she finally disappointed them, failed to be admitted to the provincial key high school, and during the whole holiday, her mother's disappointment gradually evolved into criticism and scolding, and her father's sigh also turned into indifference. He Tiantian suddenly couldn't find the reason for the purpose of coming to this world, and she hid in the quilt and cried every day.
On the first day of high school, her parents were on a business trip, and at night she sat on the railing of the bridge, looking at the lights in the water under the bridge with tears, wondering if her parents would really care about her if they couldn't see her tomorrow. She just thought about it, thinking, when someone suddenly hugged her behind her, and she was dragged back to the ground before she could scream.
That person is Lin Xiaoxian, and then took her to the game hall, to jump, to sing K, and was called to pay for Lin's father, dressed in a military uniform, and kept standing in the corner, watching his daughter release boundless youthful vitality, smiling so happily, at that time He Tiantian realized that he had never been wrong, what was wrong was his parents who regarded themselves as luxury cars and famous brands to show off everywhere.
Since then, He Tiantian and Lin Xiaoxian have become best friends, He Tiantian no longer deliberately pleases her parents, her happiness and strength make her parents afraid, and her daughter is no longer a puppet in their hands.
Walking to the nearby supermarket, Shi Huan bought a drink, handed He Tiantian a bottle, opened the lid by himself, poured it hard, sat on the roadside steps, looked at the only few stars in the sky, remembered the first parent-teacher meeting that year, the family's economic conditions were average, and his mother specially bought a new dress, but he was also despised by those rich women. When he arrived at the hospital, Lin's mother helped to take care of the whole process, and later the two families gradually became acquainted, and he and Lin Xiaoxian also became good friends.
The two of them were sad, and three people came, whistling lightly at He Tiantian, and Shi Huan stood up.
"Let's go." He Tiantian pulled Shi Huan to take a taxi.
"Don't go, pretty little girl, let's play."
Shi Huan reluctantly walked a few steps with He Tiantian, and heard a few of them looking at He Tiantian with a lewd smile on his face, and whispered to coax.
Shi Huan suddenly became angry, turned his head and punched the person in the middle in the face, the three of them thought to themselves, the three of us, you are a little hairy child and we are still baring your teeth, and in the blink of an eye, a few people will fight together.
Although Shi Huan is tall and big, he is not an opponent of three people, and he was knocked to the ground in a few rounds, He Tiantian shouted loudly: "Uncle policeman, come here." ”
Those few little deflated people, who were already out of the climate, heard that the police were coming, and they were so frightened that they ran away
He Tiantian pulled up Shi Huan and saw that the corners of his eyes and mouth were broken, and his face was red and swollen.
"Tell you to go, you don't listen, look at it now being beaten like this." He Tiantian slapped the soil on Shi Huan's body and couldn't help complaining.
"They bully more and less, or I won't suffer." Shi Huan's blood was strong, and his face was unconvinced.
"You're still hard-mouthed, and if the situation is not good, you'll leave, why are you looking for a fight." He Tiantian looked angry at him and was a little unhappy.
"You just said that I was full and wanted to be beaten, not to see you being bullied." Seeing that the thankless task was unpleasant, Shi Huan also got angry.
"If you're not there, I'll turn around and take a taxi, there are so many people on the street, what else can they do"
"You mean I'm cheap, don't you?"
"I'm cheap, I'll go with you, okay?"
The two were already in a bad mood, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became.
He Tiantian has a calm personality, and he couldn't hold it back for a while, so he turned his head and shook his head, "I'll go home by myself, I don't need you to send it." He turned around and walked away without looking back.
Angrily walked through the two streets, walked to the bus stop sign, couldn't hold back any longer, and sobbed aggrievedly.
"I'm the one who gets beaten, I'm the one who gets scolded, and I'm the one who should cry, right?" Shi Huan behind him kept following, and when he saw He Tiantian crying bitterly, he was very helpless.
"Why don't you listen to me, they are just a bunch of garbage people, no quality, no culture, no concept of right and wrong, why are you fighting with them, how many people are fighting for the so-called face for their girlfriends, they are pierced like honeycomb coal......" He Tiantian didn't want Shi Huan to see him crying like this, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
Shi Huan hugged her from behind, and rested his chin on the top of He Tiantian's head, "I'm sorry, I just want to protect you, I don't want you to be hurt." ”
Suddenly hugged by Shi Huan like this, He Tiantian was startled and wanted to break away, Shi Huan hugged him tighter than just now, he liked He Tiantian for a long time, she was too calm, too rational, Shi Huan didn't dare to act rashly at all.
He Tiantian knew that she was special in Shi Huan's eyes, and called at Lin Xiaoxian and Zhou Yunying, Zhou Aifei, and Concubine Lin Aifei, but she had always called her Tian Tian, and there were many different ties in her eyes. She gave up the useless struggle, maybe from the bottom of her heart never wanted to struggle, in her inner world full of loneliness, inferiority, and self-pity, Shi Huan gave her too much silent companionship and trust.
On an autumn night, under the bright moonlight, the wind gently swept across the two young faces......
Ling Zixuan saw Shi Huan and He Tiantian leaving from a distance, and felt that he should also go home, but sometimes, the ability of the human brain to dominate the limbs often deviated, and somehow his real body appeared at the entrance of Lin Xiaoxian's building, and he couldn't move his footsteps anymore.
Lin Xiaoxian helped her father clean up the table, and soon the sadness of separating from her good friend was like a meatball stuck in her throat, which made her breathless, so she ran out under the pretext of throwing out the garbage.
As soon as Lin Xiaoxian ran out of the building, Ling Zixuan's slender figure stood in front of her like a ghost under the dim street lamp, fortunately, Lin Xiaoxian had also practiced, and put the garbage bag in his hand on Ling Zixuan's handsome face without reflexivity.
The two froze in place, staring at each other for a moment.
"What are you doing at my doorstep?" Lin Xiaoxian finally found her tongue.
Ling Zixuan had been looking for a reason for his presence from the moment Lin Xiaoxian appeared, and in the end, he gave up, put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned around, and left.
Looking at Ling Zixuan's back, Lin Xiaoxian's brain cells increased their horsepower: "Did he come to see me, miss me, won't he like me......?"
Lin Xiaoxian looked up at the moon and stars in the sky, and Ling Zixuan's deep eyes seemed to appear in front of her, and suddenly, instead of them, Ling Zixuan's rampant and smug smile after he put the rice on her head when he was a child.
Lin Xiaoxian shook his head violently and threw the messy thoughts in his brain into the trash bin along with the garbage.
Ling Zixuan's goods are a demon, his black-bellied cultivation has reached a certain level, if he is swayed, he will have to split sooner or later, Lin Xiaoxian knocked on his head and warned himself to stay sober and not be fascinated by Ling Zixuan's male color.
Ling Zixuan sat in the back seat of the taxi, looking at the receding neon signs outside the window, he thought that he was crazy, how could he be so stupid as to stand at the door of Lin Xiaoxian's building and be hit by her, the first time he felt embarrassed.
The atmosphere at home is very special, his mother Jiang Muqing's always cold eyes have a hint of pleasure, Ling Zixuan changed his clothes and went downstairs with a prejudice that something was happening, but his intuition also told him that things that could make his mother happy would definitely not make him happy.
Of course, Jiang Muqing is happy, Song Huiyao, the daughter of the M group, favors Ling Ziyu, and even puts down her son to ask her parents to take the initiative to propose marriage to the Ling family, of course the Ling family has no reason to refuse, the M group has no rivals in the international luxury industry, and the investment focus of the Ling family in recent years has focused on building large-scale high-end shopping malls, and the marriage with the M group is a win-win situation for the interests of the two families, the most rare thing is the proactive attitude of the M group to this matter, Mrs. Song, who has always been in the eyes of no one, can be described as a compliment to her best today, How can you not make her feel comfortable.
Ling Haoran was noncommittal about this matter, just as indifferent to Jiang Muqing doing everything possible to break up Ling Ziyu and Meng Zhihe, whether Jiang Muqing was happy or sad made no difference to Ling Haoran.
At dinner, Jiang Muqing couldn't wait to tell Old Man Ling about this matter and all the benefits after the marriage, Old Man Ling, who was holding a spoon in his hand, paused for a while, and then continued to drink the soup, and said thoughtfully: "This matter is not in a hurry, Ziyu's talent and appearance plus the family background of the Ling family, how many people are rushing to it, the Song family is in a hurry, and some people will be more anxious." "The Song family of the M group is just a speculator who buys and sells, and it is still a little short of climbing the Ling family's power.
"My father-in-law said very reasonably, there are too many girls who want to enter our Ling family, we have to pick and choose." Jiang Muqing was poured too much ** soup by Mrs. Song today, and she was a little sober after listening to Old Man Ling's words.
"I'm sorry, I'm full." Ling Ziyu, who had not said a word from beginning to end, got up and went back to the room.
"In a few years, Zixuan will also grow up, and the threshold of our Ling family will probably have to be reinforced." Jiang Muqing rarely looked at Ling Zixuan and chuckled.
"Don't say that, dear mother, think about who would want to marry a prisoner, by the way, a bank robbery is punishable by a few years." Ling Zixuan said slowly while drinking the soup.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Muqing's good mood was swept away.
"It's not interesting, I'm thinking, how can the number of years you have been sentenced to labor camp for robbery be less than this kind of marriage, Father, when will you be released from prison, and I will give you a big gift then." Ling Zixuan supported his chin with one hand and gently knocked the edge of the bowl with a spoon with the other.
"You ......" Jiang Muqing was speechless with anger.
Ling Zixuan got up slowly, walked to the door and stopped, and said gloomily: "I don't move, and you don't move." ”
Watching Ling Zixuan disappear into the second floor, Old Man Ling said in a deep voice: "Yes Zixuan, don't act rashly, now he is like a coiled snake, let him stay quietly for a few years first." "Old Man Ling has been mediating with people outside for decades, and the ruthlessness in Ling Zixuan's eyes and his hatred for the Ling family often make it difficult for him to sleep.
"Zixuan still can't let go of Fen'er's matter......" Ling Haoran sighed.
Old Man Ling put down the bowl and went back to the room silently, his always rigid back seemed to have aged a lot.
"Why do you mention the child and his aunt, the old man is unhappy." Jiang Muqing was quite dissatisfied with Ling Haoran's many words.
Old Man Ling sat on the edge of the bed, caressing the hat that his little daughter gave him at the end, and muttered to himself: "Yes, how can you let go, my aunt who has been so good to him since he was a child jumped into the river in front of his eyes, can he not hate......"
