Guan Yun was surprised, Lao Rongtou has such a big background, can he directly enter Zhongnanhai? What is Zhongnanhai? It is the office of the State Council, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and other highest organs of state power, so is it a place where ordinary people can come and go at will?

Lao Rongtou first glared at him, then narrowed his eyes, and smiled as if he had succeeded in his conspiracy: "Look at what scares you, isn't it just that you can take the bus in Zhongnanhai, why are you so excited?" ”

Yes, Guan Yun shook his head: "Don't always scare me when you get old, so I can't tell the truth from the fake." ”

"Things in the world, where are there so obvious truths, falsehoods, black and white." Lao Rongtou sighed with emotion, seeing beyond the red wall, the emotion of revisiting the old place came to his heart, he couldn't help but blur his eyes, and muttered, "It is not honorable to gain an official, and it is not disgraceful to lose an official...... It's been thirty years, a full thirty years, the past has been hurt several times in the world, the mountains and rivers are still cold, and I am back. ”

If you gain an official, you will not be honored, and if you lose an official, you will be humiliated...... Isn't it exactly a sentence on the couplet that Quan Quan sent him, and the old man also knows this couplet? Thinking about it again, Guan Yun was relieved again, Lao Rongtou was pedantic about heaven and man, astronomy and geography, customs and history, he knew almost everything.

However, listening to Lao Rongtou's words, he still remembers the past, and there are many past events that are difficult to let go.

Pull over, put down Lao Rongtou, seeing that it was dark, Guan Yun still wanted to explain something, and he didn't know if Lao Rongtou's money was enough, but without waiting for him to speak, Lao Rongtou waved his hand at him, and the lonely and desolate figure disappeared into the bustling streets of Beijing in a blink of an eye, like an inconspicuous fallen leaf, floating between heaven and earth, and finally the leaves fell back to their roots.

It wasn't until the figure of the old face disappeared completely that Guan Yun started the car, feeling slightly lost in his heart, and after a while, he dialed Xia Lai's phone.

"You're here?" Charley's voice finally had a hint of surprise, "Where." I'm going to look for you. ”

"I'm in ......" Guan Yun drove forward for a while, saw a familiar restaurant, and said his name, "I'm waiting for you in the old place." ”

He has been in college in the capital for four years, and he can't say that he is extremely familiar with every grass and tree in the capital, at least he and Xia Lai have walked through many streets and alleys hand in hand. Guan Yun likes the atmosphere of the capital very much, which has both the weight of history and the impact of a modern city. Perhaps as soon as you come out of the skyscraper, you will turn around to a classic alley, where modernity and history are intertwined in an instant, making people feel dazzled.

This is a small restaurant, the name is very elegant - Jing'an, and the environment inside is indeed quiet and comfortable, there is a kind of quiet and quiet of the years. Back then, Guan Yun and Xia Lai often came here to eat, and the two liked to sit in the innermost window position while eating quietly. While admiring the crowds and vehicles coming and going outside the window, you can feel a rare comfort in life.

Guan Yun parked the car. Pushing the door in, more than a year has passed, and the layout and furnishings inside have not changed at all, still dark wooden chairs and wooden tables, and the lighting is dim and blurred, creating a soft and slow atmosphere. It just so happened that the innermost window seat was empty. Guan Yun sat down.

It's just that things are different, and the waiters who came to order food are no longer the pure Hunan girls who used to be, but a few Guangxi girls with deep eye sockets and high cheekbones. is not the type that Guan Yun likes, so he doesn't have the heart to laugh with the other party.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the door rang and Charley came.

Charlais ...... The former Xia Lai, the current Xia Lai, just quietly appeared in front of Guan Yun, she was still as thin as a bamboo, although she wore thick winter clothes and a white scarf, she was still a slender figure, and she let Guan Yun know at a glance that she had lost at least a few pounds when Yan Shi was goodbye.

For no reason, Guan Yun felt distressed for a while.

Xia Lai happily ran to Guan Yun and stuck out his tongue at him: "It's so cold, are you cold?" ”

Seeing Xia Lai smiling, his face did not change, his eyes were still the same, and in a trance, it was as if he had returned to the time of his first love, Guan Yun lost his mind for a while, and blurted out: "Xia Lai, how are you?" ”

"Of course I'm fine, I've always been good." Xia Lai was still smiling lightly, not at all like the sorrow when they were separated, she remembered something, reached out and took out a gift from her pocket and handed it over, "I made it up, give it to you." ”

It is a pair of gloves, gloves woven with wool, and the silk thread is all woven with love.

"Thank you." Guan Yun took the gloves, "You also learned to weave things?" ”

"Yes, idle is idle, I learned to knit gloves and knit sweaters, by the way, I also knitted a sweater for you, but it's not good yet, there are still a few stitches left, it will be good tomorrow, you will definitely fit it when you wear it." Xia Lai seems to have done well, not only has her body fully recovered, but her mentality has also returned to the same state, and she is even a little more lively than before, "If it is not good-looking, you are not allowed to talk about me, I have done my best." But I'm going to tell you a little secret, I knit it to you first, I just want to practice with you first, whether it's good or bad, you'll accommodate me anyway, won't you? ”

Xia Lai's performance made Guan Yun very happy, so to speak, Xia Lei really figured it out, and no longer had to break up, he nodded and said: "Of course I won't talk about you, I am the most accommodating person in the world." ”

Xia Lai smiled sweetly: "Why don't you order our favorite set meal before?" ”

"Okay." The feeling of first love returned to his heart, and Guan Yun was in a good mood. In the past, he and Xia Lai often came to Jing'an Hotel to eat, and they didn't order more, as long as they had two set meals, they could eat deliciously for half a day. As if the past has reappeared in an instant, the most beautiful first love is only once, even if it is short and hurried, it is also the most brilliant fireworks in life.

After ordering the package, Guan Yun and Xia Lai took a bite of you, immersed in the aftertaste of the past, and the eyes of each other's affectionate gaze seemed to penetrate all the past and light up the night of the entire capital.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the night of the capital is not less prosperous because of the cold, Guan Yun and Xia Lai strolled on the streets of the capital, the cold air made people sober, Xia Lai hugged Guan Yun's right arm tightly, half of his body snuggled up to his side, just like ordinary lovers. It is like seeing the sun through the clouds, and all kinds of unhappiness in the past dissipate with the wind, and return to the beauty of the past.

Everything came too suddenly, so that Guan Yun couldn't believe Xia Lai's transformation, but Xia Lai's gentleness was obviously not pretending, and her smile and happiness were also from the bottom of her heart.

"Where to stay at night?" After walking for half an hour, Xia Lai raised her little face and asked Guan Yun, she bit her lip and smiled, "I booked a hotel for you, which is the one you stayed in when you graduated......"

Guan Yun instantly understood Xia Lai's hint, after graduating and leaving school, when it was time to be assigned, he stayed at the Qianmen Hotel for one night, and Xia Lei stayed. At that time, the young hearts collided violently, and almost went off, and at the last critical moment, Charlais said no sensibly, saying that she would stay until the wedding night, and she also swore that she would always belong to him alone and would not give it to anyone.

lingered all night, and stayed in Guan Yun's mind all night, toothless and unforgettable.

Now Xia Lai has the intention to book a room in the Qianmen Hotel, which means, how can Guan Yun not know, he hugged Xia Lai tightly: "Don't wronged you for me." ”

Xia Lai shook his head firmly: "No, I figured it out, when I was a child, I lived for the pride of my parents, and when I grew up, I lived for the face of my parents, and now, it's time to live for myself." ”

Guan Yun and Xia Lai returned to the Jing'an Hotel and drove to the Qianmen Hotel. After getting into the Mercedes-Benz, Xia Lai didn't ask whose car it was, and the license plate was obviously a Beijing license plate, she should be like a mirror, but she didn't say a word, and she didn't know if she was too negligent, or she felt that she was Guan Yun's favorite person after all.

"The car is a good car." Guan Yun did not hide Xia Lai, and told the truth, "She drove to Kong County to inspect, and I didn't drive away when she left, so I drove here." ”

"Hmm." Charley only replied softly, without expressing any opinion.

"You're not going abroad?"

"Hmm."

"It's better to stay in China, after all, you are learning Chinese."

"Hmm."

Whatever Guan Yun says, Xia Lai should do anything, well-behaved and docile as before, although Xia Lai was also well-behaved in the past, but not docile in everything, and some things she is very assertive, even if she doesn't refute it face-to-face, she will tell Guan Yun with her look and eyes that she is not happy, but today, she is indeed uncharacteristically docile as a sheep.

Qianmen Hotel is located on Jianguo Road, the name is very atmospheric, in fact, it is a relatively remote small hotel, not particularly high-end, when Guan Yun arrived, there was a parking space.

After parking the car, he entered the room with Xia Lai, and Guan Yun was taken aback when he entered the room, Xia Lai booked a suite, which should be the best room in the Qianmen Hotel, there is a piano in the middle of the room, the decoration style is elegant and simple, perhaps because of the careful preparation, the bedding on the bed is all red and festive colors.

"Guan Yun, can you play the song "Remembrance of Love" for me again?"

Guan Yun was known for his talent in college, not only writing well, but also playing the piano well, and it was his outstanding talent that finally won Xia Lai's heart. Needless to say, his calligraphy is also first-class, and his piano level is also first-class, although he rarely plays it again after graduation, but his basic skills have not been pulled down. When he was in college, he conquered Xia Lai with the song "Remembrance of Love", how could Guan Yun not happily obey his fate?

Guan Yun gently soothed his fingers, put his fingertips on the piano keys, bowed his head slightly, and brewed emotions for a moment, and then his fingertips danced lightly, jumping like beads, and a series of watery music flowed out, which was the prestigious piano song "Remembrance of Love".

If love needs to be remembered, then love is not in the present tense, but in the past tense. At the end of Guan Yun's song, the clothes on Xia Lai's body had slipped off one by one, and her light voice sounded in Guan Yun's ears: "Flowers can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches...... Guan Yun, tonight, I am your bride. ”
