Chapter Seventy-Five: Release
The light in the bedroom is very quiet, and the afternoon sun shines through the gauze curtains, creating an unreal, but very clear color, only the wind keeps stirring, like an unpeaceful mood.
Xu Shrimp leaned on Lin An'an's round, Irish waltz-like French bed, the soft bed was fragrant, but he couldn't keep his spirits up.
Although it was close at hand and there was a door key, he rarely came to Lin An's house, and most of the time he ran to her store. But when he had a silly girl, and was in Lin An'an's bed again, he had to think, how did she spend the long time of those luxurious big beds and those nights of being alone?
Xu Shrimp was gloomy alone, Lin Anan came in with two glasses of foreign wine, handed him one glass, held another cup over his body, leaned lazily to his side, Erlang's legs were cocked, and asked, "What do you want?" ”
Xu Shrimp said: "I'm wondering, how are you doing alone." ”
Lin Anan said charmingly: "What, don't worry about me?" ”
Xu Shrimp said seriously: "It's not that I'm not at ease, it's that I want to know if you're happy and full." ”
Lin Anan glanced at him: "The whole heart is occupied by people, what else is not full?" Tilt your neck and take a sip of wine, close your eyes and savor it, as if you are savoring the heart.
Xu Shrimp also took a small sip, a little strange, very **, and very aftertaste, and then said: "An An, seriously, I don't care who you associate with, but don't take people home easily." ”
Lin Anan raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you really afraid that my thing will be snatched away?" ”
Xu Shrimp frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Now that people are so bad, you live alone again, and you accidentally run into a bad person, what should you do? ”
Lin Anan said: "I can't even see this thing clearly, haven't I been messing around for so many years?" ”
Xu Shrimp said angrily: "How many years have you been a woman, if something really happens, it's not you who is injured?" ”
Lin Anan said impatiently: "Oh, that expert just sent me downstairs, and he didn't go upstairs at all." There is no second man besides you who entered my house, and now you should be relieved, right? ”
Xu Xia suddenly realized, remembering that the expert was indeed looking at the sky downstairs, only to know that he was a little anxious, so he said: "In short, you are alone, you usually have to be more careful." ”
Lin Anan didn't continue the topic, got up and said, "Don't talk about it yet, tell me, you don't want to be a secretary for the surname Qu, what are your plans in the future?" ”
Xiao Shrimp came to her after all, and she was destined to give up a lot of things. A man for a woman, no matter what he gives up, always kind of giving, she can't help but think about it.
Xu Shrimp said: "Let's do it for a few years first, and then let's see." ”
Lin Anan said: "What do you mean by seeing? You're so young now, it's a good time, how can you waste it so much? ”
Xu Xia glanced at her, and suddenly smiled: "Isn't it good to have a bad career?" Maybe I'll do a good job in the future, and be a deputy mayor or deputy secretary or something, isn't it also quite beautiful? ”
Lin Anan frowned and said: "Of course, there is nothing wrong with the mixed career, if you really want to do it, I will definitely support it, the key is whether you are really willing to do it." You're only twenty-four, it's a good time, if you don't do it well, you delay the good time, and you regret it after a few years, and then you want to do something else, don't you have to start again? ”
Lin Anan was quite serious, Xu Shrimp put the wine glass aside, and said strangely: "Why do you suddenly ask this?" ”
Lin Anan sighed: "Your old man came to me and gave up all the ideals of a diplomat, and now it's almost a year, and I'm absent-minded all day long, if I don't ask, can I live in peace?" ”
Xu Shrimp smiled: "Then just say it, are you still serious?" ”
Lin An'an said: "You don't have to talk to me." casually say that you have nothing to do to take the graduate school entrance examination, and when you are studying, you are trying to get close to international students, and you are in a hurry to learn spoken English with others, what do you think? In addition to the above reasons, Xiao Shrimp's admission to graduate school also means that she has been separated from her for three years and paid such a big price, so if you say it casually, it is strange for her to believe it.
Xu Shrimp looked at her for a while, and said honestly: "Actually, it's nothing, what I really wanted to do back then was to be a columnist, that is, to write about current reviews and sensitive areas in various places, a bit like a war correspondent, but more free, you can run all over the world by your surname, so I took the national customs exam and wanted to make preparations." ”
Lin Anan was shocked, after so many years, he knew that Xiao Shrimp had such a free ideal, and asked in his heart: "Why didn't you tell me before?" ”
Xu Xia smiled lightly: "This is a life-threatening profession, you have to go deep into the field to get first-hand information that people are interested in, and if you don't figure it out, something will happen somewhere." Even if I'm not afraid, I can't help but think about the people around me, so I just make a preparation, when to do it, whether to do it, whether to do it, whether I can do it, it depends on the specific situation. ”
Lin Anan handed him the wine glass and asked distressedly: "You told me that you want to be a diplomat, are you afraid that I will be worried?" ”
Xu Xia took it, put it with his own cup, and said frankly: "It shouldn't be." I'm going to tell you, you're definitely going to support it. I mainly can't let you go, and I don't want to think about anything else first. ”
Lin Anan was even more distressed: "There aren't many war correspondents? Even if it's dangerous, is it as scary as you say? ”
Xu Shrimp smiled bitterly: "If you want to say this, the accident is definitely a small part compared to the accident, but in terms of probability, it must be much more dangerous than other occupations." Not to mention anything else, aren't the hostages of those extremist organizations all journalists? When the hostages are still good, how many people are alive and dead, and they don't know at all. ”
Lin Anan asked again: "If you want to do it, which newspaper do you want to join?" ”
Xu Shrimp shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, just sign a contract, or open a column." ”
He further explained: "This kind of columnist, in a sense, is also a kind of adventurer, who writes about personal experiences, relatively more in the West, but very little in the East. There are almost no similar columns in my country that are all so-called scholars and experts, who read the news, write some analysis casually, and go to the field in person. If you can really go deep into the front line and write articles with personal experience and certain reference value and historical value, it is not difficult to find a weekly magazine abroad, such as in Hong Kong. ”
Xiao Shrimp said so fully and concretely, not only thoughtful, but also researched, and really worked hard in action, obviously yearning for this profession. Lin Anan was embarrassed that Xiao Shrimp failed to fulfill his wish, and couldn't bear to ask: "Do you still think so now?" ”
Xu Shrimp sighed and said: "I want to have the consent of my family, the boss is not small, I have to take some responsibility for my family, I want to be a one, where is the accident?" ”
Lin Anan said unwillingly: "Have you discussed it with your family?" As soon as the words came out, he realized that he had ignored the dangers of this profession, and regretted that he had not been able to do so.
Xu Shrimp said: "It's been less than a year since I graduated, how can I think about this?" ”
Lin Anan said simply: "No matter what, you should have a plan first, no matter if he is in danger or not, you can't give up like this?" ”
Xu Shrimp smiled: "Even if you don't care about the danger, even if you spoil me, you can't help but think about my safety, right?" Aren't you afraid that I will hang up unexpectedly? ”
Lin Anan said disdainfully: "How can it be so easy to say that you can hang up?" There are not only a few accidents. You're a big man, shouldn't you be a little rushed to live? I've been sitting in the government all day long, wondering what is the meaning of the country's money? Don't say that you are the deputy mayor and deputy secretary, but what can you do if you become the vice chairman? Just a few things a day over and over, living is like doing math problems, and there is no personal freedom, how can it be compared to being at ease all over the world? ”
suddenly smiled, looked at him and said: "And there is an advantage, you Xu Dagongzi can pick up girls all over the world, black girls, white girls, not black and not white girls, play casually, isn't it much stronger than you play a single taste now?" ”
Xu Shrimp laughed and laughed: "You can also talk about the next way when you talk about the right thing, can't you be serious?" ”
Lin Anan smiled: "Why is it not serious? It's not all true, don't tell me you're willing to sit on that mechanism and wait for others like a grandson all day long. ”
Xu Shrimp said this, and said back to the truth: "You know my surname, I definitely don't like it, but my idea is a bit alternative after all, and all kinds of factors can't be ignored." ”
Lin Anan said: "How to think about it is another matter, you have to show your strength first." After so many years of hard work, I'm almost ready to go, how can I do nothing? Isn't this the same as when you're looking for a one-night stand, your pants are all off, and you're still called a man if you don't go there? ”
Xu Shrimp scolded: "Damn! This parable can also be used. ”
Lin An'an's face was not ashamed and said, "What can't be used?" The words are rough, but the reason is not rough. Seriously, you're a great idea, and I'm excited to hear it. As for whether it is dangerous or not, life and death are fateful, you can't control it, even if you really hang up somewhere, it is better than your muddy life. Listen to me, or make a decision early and think of a way early. ”
Xu Xia looked at her and nodded slowly: "Since you say so, I will consider it and see how to put it into practice." ”
Lin Anan was relieved: "What's so difficult about this, it's not just your parents and your wife." Your dad will definitely be able to support you, and your mom can object to two sentences, at most you can do it first, and then tell her when you are famous. It's easier for your wife, wouldn't it be okay to let her resign to accompany you? She's a big SWAT, and she happens to be your bodyguard, and the danger factor can be reduced. ”
Xu Shrimp scoffed: "You said lightly? She is such a vulgar person, and she still exists as a state violence machine all the year round, you must know that I have this idea, it would be good not to break my legs and lock my home, and she can still be my bodyguard? ”
Lin Anan said: "If you get it for her earlier, it won't be over." Women, love is confused, what don't you listen to men? Besides, she is a broken special police officer, wearing dog skins all day long, beating and killing, what's the point? How good it is for her to accompany you, the two of you are literate and martial, wandering around the world, how leisurely, how comfortable, more comfortable than the gods. If you have this idea, and you just happened to find a special police officer, it means that God is helping you, and you are right to listen to me. ”
Xu Xia didn't speak, just looked at her. Lin An'an is right, but he cares about not only these three people, but also Lin An'an? If he could let go, he would have ventured all over the world a long time ago, how could he run to this city, and it would be impossible to know Ji Ruomin.
Of course, Lin Anan understood what he was thinking, and smiled gently: "You don't have to be reluctant to me, the more wonderful your life is, the more satisfied I will be." Besides, no matter where you go, if you don't have to come back, I'll wait for you and it'll be over. ”
Xu Xia said weakly: "That's you, I still can't bear you." After so many years, it's not like you don't know that no matter what way, I have to be with you to feel at ease. ”
Lin Anan frowned and said, "That's why I let you go on a rampage, you can't revolve around me for the rest of your life?" Not to mention anything else, I'm a shopkeeper, you are admitted to graduate school, I can open a store in N city to accompany you, but why didn't I go? I don't want you to let go and do something. There are many ways to be emotional, you don't have to be together all the time, and I don't want to be your fetters. If that's the case, I haven't done it in vain for so many years, don't you understand this truth? ”
This truth is not profound, of course Xu Xia understands, but understanding is one thing, and doing it is another. He couldn't let go of Lin An'an, and he couldn't convince himself, so he had to say: "Don't worry, since I have been preparing for so many years, I naturally won't give up easily." Anyway, it will take time to get her, and I will think about you when I pass her. ”
Lin Anan said ambiguously: "You don't want to take both of us to the world, do you?" ”
Xu Xia smiled hesitantly: "If you really can, I will definitely not object." ”
Lin An'an's face was slightly red, and she said angrily: "You are looking for such a big vinegar jar, and you still want to gather the beauty of people, dreaming?" ”
Xu Shrimp laughed and said: "That's not necessarily, how bold people are, how productive the land is, maybe I can achieve it in the future." He turned around and brought back two wine glasses: "Come on, I wish me success in the horse road." ”
A mobile phone bell suddenly rang from Xiao Shrimp's arms.
The two looked at each other, and Lin An'an said: "Take it, we have nothing to do, let her doubt it and give in." ”
Xu Shrimp couldn't cry or laugh, handed the wine glass to Lin An'an, took out his mobile phone and connected it.
Ji Ruomin always asked simply: "Where is it?" ”
Xu Shrimp said: "In An'an's house, I just sent her back." ”
Ji Ruomin wondered: "It's been like this for a long time, why did you send her back?" ”
Xu Xia didn't think about it and said, "I sent Dou Hui first, her family had to let us go in and sit for a while, so we delayed some time." ”
Ji Ruomin said in a slow tone: "I'm done with the meeting, come and pick me up." "Just hang up.
Put away the phone, Xu Shrimp made a helpless gesture.
Lin Anan played with taste: "You weren't born to be a liar, right?" The nonsense that came at hand, even I, the client, believed it to be true. ”
Xu Xia sighed: "How can this be called a lie? It's to put her at ease and save her from messing around with you. ”
Lin Anan smiled contemptuously: "Speaking in a high-sounding manner, are you still reasonable?" Hand him a wine glass.
Xu Shrimp smiled, the two collided and drank it all.
After saying that, the wine was drunk, and the dream wings that Xu Shrimp had gathered were also re-released by Lin An'an, whether he could fly out and how far he could fly depends on his efforts and creation. But at least, compared to the vast majority of people in the world, it is always a happy and fortunate thing to have the opportunity to realize the dreams in your heart.
Xu Shrimp got out of bed and left, and Lin Anan saw him off in front of the door, until he was gone, and Fang gently closed the door.
