Chapter Fifty-Six: The Past and the Present
At this moment, Chen Chong calmed down and approached her. When the words came to his mouth, Su Yuzhen didn't know how to speak, and lowered his head and picked his fingers. As long as she is nervous, she will unconsciously pick her fingers.
Chen Chong held a cigarette in his hand and did not light it. "Is the work going well?" He didn't look at her, and she knew he was talking to her. I don't know who said that when there is no topic, talk about the weather, today's weather is not good, to a good day, whether it is a marriage proposal, or marriage, or dating, it is a good choice.
It's not that there is no topic between them, but because they have so much to say, that they don't know where to start, and they are embarrassed.
"Mm-hmm, that's good." Su Yuzhen nodded, and saw Chen Chong put the cigarette in his hand back into the cigarette case, and the way he pursed his lips and lowered his head made her heart flutter and beat. In the past, she loved to see him bow his head and do things seriously. As soon as he did this, her heart softened.
"Miao Guangping has never been married? If it weren't for today's proposal, I would have thought he and Zheng ......" Su Yuzhen felt that she had to find something to talk about, or she was really afraid that she would be staring at him all the time.
"Well, Hiroko...... It's long overdue," Chen Chong's tone relaxed. When it came to Miao Guangping, he was happy for him in his heart, and now he finally figured it out. The two of them quarreled and quarreled, and in the end they came together. It's not easy.
"I don't know how the relationship between the two of you is so good, one is quiet, the other is noisy." Su Yuzhen remembered what happened when she was a child, she and Chen Chong were at the table, Chen Chong was honest, he didn't make trouble or provoke trouble, Miao Guangping was a ruffian at that time, he was famous in the whole school, and the teacher was also quite a headache. How did two people who are so mismatched become inseparable friends.
Chen Chong smiled slightly, his friendship with Miao Guangping had to start from the first elementary school meeting. At the wine table, Miao Guangping said that he couldn't get used to Chen Chong early on, he was too honest, and he always wanted to bully and bully, but he couldn't graduate from elementary school. Later, there was a contact, and then Miao Guangping's family had an accident and was in urgent need of money, when he and Chen Chong spoke, Chen Chong didn't say a word, and asked for the bank card number, and he turned it over the same day. In the most difficult years of the Miao family, everyone shouted and beat him, but Chen Chong took him in without disgust.
Later, he finally survived, but he always remembered this kindness. In addition to a respect, there is also an admiration for Chen Chong.
"Hiroko is a cheap person, and he will definitely have a good time in everything. The young master is sick, that is, the zither grinds with him. Chen Chong smiled and mentioned Miao Guangping, he loved and hated this brother.
"It's more mature than before." Su Yuzhen responded.
Chen Chong looked at her and nodded, she was indeed mature.
The two fell silent again, Chen Chong looked at his watch and came out for a while, but he didn't feel it for a long time, but it was still time to go back. He said to Su Yuzhen, who was bowing his head and tucking his hair, "Go back." ”
Su Yuzhen raised his head and agreed, Chen Chong saw her tucking her hair behind her ear, revealing one of her white quiet ears, and he cleared his throat. Her ears were soft, not small and hard like his. In the past, he liked to touch her earlobe, and he kept joking that she was a good girl, and she didn't give up, but then he compromised and said good things, and the good words showed that my daughter-in-law was attractive, and she was happy, and said with a smile Who do you call your daughter-in-law.
Chen Chong asked Su Yuzhen to go first, and he followed behind her, as before, but he knew that there had already been a change between them.
When they came back, Miao Guangping was pulling a zither to toast people. When he arrived, he replaced it with juice, he couldn't drink it, today he had to drive back by himself, Yu Feng went to the unit, the machine in the new factory was out of order, and he had to supervise on the spot.
Su Yuzhen drank a large glass of red wine with Zhengzheng, and the two of them held hands and whispered.
Miao Guangping saw that his eyes were always on Su Yuzhen's body, and he came over to look at the little woman who was chatting with him, and he felt that today's zither was so beautiful. He wanted to kiss her right now, but he couldn't.
"Why did you go, I saw you two coming back together." Miao Guangping looked at Chen Chong and wanted to find out the news.
Chen Chong retracted his gaze and ignored Miao Guangping's words. At this time, Xu Wei came over to say goodbye to them, she had to go back. Even if she and Chen Chong can't walk together, it won't affect her relationship with Miao Guangping, originally she thought that Miao Guangping was a nouveau riche, but when she came into contact, she found that he was not bad.
"I have to go back," she said, looking at Miao Guangping. Thumbs up to him again, the man who is doing this today.
She looked at Chen Chong again, "When you propose, also notify me in advance." ”
Chen Chong was silent for a moment, she was still expecting, "I'm not welcome?" ”
Miao Guangping snorted, "Your identity is considered to be your mother's family, Chen Chong doesn't invite you, Yang Huan also has to invite you." Xu Wei nodded and smiled, but it made sense.
Chen Chong frowned, and said nonsense without a word. He frowned again. At this time, Zheng Zheng and Su Yuzhen came over together, and Su Yuzhen was going back. She didn't drive over this time, Zheng asked Miao Guangping to arrange someone to send her, she shook her head and refused, she left the taxi driver's phone number, and came to answer it after making a call, it was not so troublesome. She took out her mobile phone and was about to make a call, when Chen Chong spoke.
"I'll send you."
Su Yuzhen was stunned, she heard it right, he wanted to send her? Xu Wei looked at the stunned few people who didn't know what to do, she shrugged her shoulders and left first.
Until she got into the car, Su Yuzhen was still nervous, in fact, the atmosphere in which she and Chen Chong got along just now was still harmonious, but at this moment, she was both expectant and scared at such a close distance.
Chen Chongzhi calmly asked her where she lived, and after she reported the address, he was silent and concentrated on driving.
"Thank you." Su Yuzhen felt that she should say something, she would be suffocated if she remained silent like this.
Chen Chong didn't say anything, what did she want to thank? Thank you for driving her? Or all of them.
"Chen Chong......" Su Yuzhen called his name, "Actually, I always owe you an apology. ”
Chen Chong's hand trembled, what was she going to say. "What is past is in the past." He answered her. But it wasn't what she wanted. She wanted him to lash out with her and scold her, but he didn't. Calm, natural, like discussing someone else's business.
Only Chen Chong himself knew how much effort he had used to say such a thing to pretend to be so light-hearted.
Su Yuzhen was silent again, but this time it was replaced by Chen Chong who had a question to ask. "Are you not going to leave this time?" He still couldn't ask the question he'd always wanted to ask.
How much he wanted to ask her face to face how he had managed to make such a decision after so many years, and it would take him ten years to forget. He just couldn't get angry with her, then and now.
"Yes, grandma is old and needs someone to accompany her." Su Yuzhen did not deny her intention to stay. But it is expressed in another way.
"Does he agree?" This sentence went back and forth in Chen Chong's mouth, but he still didn't ask.
Both of them were silent, and at this time Chen Chong's phone rang, it was a WeChat video call, and Su Yuzhen clearly saw that the remarks on it were Yang Huan. Chen Chong pressed the rejection while looking at the road. At the red light, he picked up the phone and dialed out. A woman's silver-bell-like laughter on the opposite side came out of her mobile phone clearly. His face instantly filled with smiles. He put the phone to his left ear. I don't know what the other side said, he responded. I could see that he listened carefully and was very patient.
Yang Huan wanted to show him the cherry blossoms at night, and Fangfei during the day was even more dreamlike under the lights at night. At that point, she thought he wasn't busy. I sent a video invitation. She felt sorry for him when he refused. I took a video of myself and kept it for him to see. But after a while, he called, saying that he was driving. She said it wouldn't affect his distraction, and he said no. She babbled a bunch of things again. She knew that his company was on a business trip, and she didn't send him a message for fear of disturbing him.
She told him how beautiful the cherry blossoms were and how magnificent the sea was. How good she was in the mood. He listened and answered. Later, she realized that she was talking too much, and he was still driving. I asked if you missed me?
He paused for a moment before whispering something in thought. She laughed, laughed heartily, and finally hung up the phone reluctantly.
Rao is Su Yuzhen no matter how sluggish he is, he understands what he means. She thought he must not know how gentle he was smiling at the moment.
He hung up the phone and didn't explain, and Su Yuzhen wouldn't be stupid to ask. The two men fell silent again. The old house she lived in was narrow and the car couldn't get in, so he got out of the car and walked with her for a while.
"Just send it here." Su Yuzhen thanked Chen Chongneng for accompanying her for such a journey, and now she was about to arrive at the unit building, but she didn't have the courage to say it and let him go up and sit down and have a cup of coffee before leaving.
Chen Chong said goodbye to her, and her face didn't seem to be very good. It is inconvenient to live alone in this kind of old town. But he couldn't say anything, and now they were classmates at best.
Su Yuzhen's mind kept thinking about what Chen Chong had just thought. His gentle appearance was engraved in her heart, but she felt so dazzling. Once upon a time, she would ask him on the other end of the phone if he missed her, over and over again. Every time, he said it firmly and loudly, and he wanted to think about it very much. I can't wait to carry it in my pocket and take it with me wherever I go. She laughed out loud.
Now he was saying the same thing to another girl in front of her, and she wanted to cry when she heard it. In the end, he belonged to someone else.
Yang Huan had a very fulfilling holiday, not only saw the cherry blossoms, but also played all the attractions in Lushun. She will be even happier to see Chen Chong again tomorrow.
During this period, her roommate took her to see her brother Bing, and Yang Huan sighed at the hardships of a long-distance relationship when she saw the picture of them being reluctant. At the same time, he is also glad that he and Chen Chong can be in the same city. If you want to see each other one day, you can meet at any time.
Just like last time, he didn't say hello to her, he came to her without a sound, and took away her first kiss, the kiss with the fragrance of flowers, which is sweet when I think about it now.
