Chapter 208: Smoke and Roses

Shen Man and I went to the fruit store to buy a fruit basket, and at Shen Man's repeated insistence, we went to the nearby supermarket to buy some other supplements before heading to the hospital.

After a while, she and I came to the hospital ward, and at this moment, my father, mother, uncle, and aunt were all there, and Shen Man greeted everyone one by one.

Everyone was surprised to see Shen Man, especially my father and mother, but they all knew the relationship between me and Shen Man, Shen Man didn't come to our house to play in college, and their attitude towards Shen Man was the same as mine, I was a sister, and they were daughters.

"Shen Man's girl is here!" Grandpa's voice was faint, but he was smiling.

"Well, grandpa, I've come to see you." Shen Man's voice was a little choked as she spoke, and she grabbed her grandfather's shriveled hand.

"You're still thinking about me, do you remember~~ You haven't come to see me for a long time, right?"

Shen Man nodded and said, "Well, I have been abroad some time ago, and I just came back recently, I didn't come to see you, I'm really sorry!" ”

"Silly girl, you also have work to do, I also want to thank you for taking care of Yixi, he has dragged you down for so many years......" Grandpa said to Shen Man in a sincere tone.

"Grandpa, where is it, Yixi is like my own brother in my heart, and I should take care of him." Shen Man said in a choked voice, his eyes moistened again.

Shen Man's emotions seemed to have infected other people, and they all wiped their tears.

Grandpa said to Shen Man, who took out a tissue to wipe his tears: "Little girl, don't cry, in my impression, you have always been a strong girl, don't let Yixi's bastard kid laugh at you......."

Shen Man looked at me, wiped away his tears and smiled, and said, "He didn't dare to laugh at me...... Grandpa, I wish you a speedy recovery, and when I come to see you next time, will you take me fishing? ”

Shen Man's words reminded me again, during the summer vacation of a certain college period, Shen Man lived in a small town for more than 2 weeks, during which he followed me and my grandfather to fish, and their interest in fishing seemed to be higher than mine, many times, I didn't go, both of them would go, listening to the conversation between the two, my heart was an indescribable depression, in fact, I knew that there was no such opportunity!

Grandpa nodded with a smile, and cared about Shen Man again: "Little girl, have you been disposed of, grandpa is still waiting to drink your wedding wine!" ”

Shen Man was stunned for a moment, looked back at me, I squeezed my eyes at her, signaled her to say yes, Shen Man immediately understood what I meant, nodded and said, "Well, there is, but he is busy, he didn't come to visit grandpa, don't be angry with him!" ”

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, you're in charge, we're all happy for you!" Grandpa said with joy.

"Hmm....." Shen Man nodded and smiled, but I inadvertently found that there was a trace of imperceptible bitterness hidden in her smile!

......

Shen Man stayed in the ward for almost an hour before saying goodbye to everyone, I was about to go to see her downstairs, but my father said to me: "Yixi, you can also go back to rest, you don't need to keep vigil today, your grandfather just has your little aunt and me to take care of." ”

As soon as my father finished speaking, everyone echoed and signaled that I didn't need to keep vigil, and that I should come early tomorrow morning.

Shen Man and I walked towards the entrance of the hospital together, the hospital was not so busy during the day, the crowd was bustling, and the cold environment could set off the silence between us.

Shen Man looked up at the sky and said, "The moonlight is good today." ”

I looked up and saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, looking over the land with a bright moonlight, I nodded and said, "Well, that's good." ”

"Let's go sit by the lake." Shen Man suddenly proposed.

"Tomorrow during the day, you drive at night, find a hotel to rest early."

Shen Man shook his head and said, "Not tomorrow, I have to go back to Nantong tomorrow morning, you stay in the small city to accompany your grandfather these days, and I will help you take over the work of the marketing department for the time being." ”

I looked at Shen Man and lit a cigarette for myself, Shen Man smiled and said, "What, are you afraid that I will use this opportunity to empty your authority in the marketing department?" ”

I remained silent, it is undeniable that I do have such thoughts, in the workplace, I can't talk about how much I trust Shen Man at this moment, she has been back for more than a week, and the aggressive momentum she showed made me tremble, she is too powerful.

Seeing that I was silent, Shen Man smiled meaningfully and said, "Let's go, go and sit by the small lake, let's talk, okay?" ”

"Hmm."

I took Shen Man to Chen Qingyi's car, Shen Man looked at Chen Qingyi's car in surprise and said, "Isn't this Qingyi's car?" ”

"Well, she's coming to town with me!"

Shen Man suddenly realized: "It turns out that your family said that your girlfriend is Chen Qingyi?" ”

"Hmm."

Shen Man said with a complicated face: "It turns out that what the prince said is true, and even such an excellent woman as Chen Qingyi has been impressed by you!" ”

"I don't have that much ability, she's just helping me, we don't have that kind of relationship." I explained, Dao.

Shen Man looked at me for a long time before he nodded, without asking any more, I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Let's go....." As I said that, I opened the car door and motioned for Shen Man to get in the car.

......

This is the second time I have come to the small lake today, with two women, with two completely different emotions, I sat on the stone I had sat on in the afternoon, looking at the lake, and Shen Man sat beside me.

At this moment, on both sides of the small lake, there are a few anglers with lights for night fishing, the lights are reflected on the lake surface with the moonlight, the wind blows, ripples, as if dancing, sporadic insect chirping, but the night is more silent.

Shen Man took out a pack of Jinling Twelve Hairpins from the leather bag he was carrying, opened it and lit one......

"Give me one, I'd like to smoke it too."

Shen Man looked at me suspiciously, and said, "Do you smoke the mint-flavored ones too?" ”

"When there's no smoke, it doesn't matter what it smells like." I said and took out the empty cigarette case from my pocket and showed it to Shen Man, today because of my bad mood, I smoked a lot more than usual, and the cigarettes I bought in the afternoon have been finished at the moment.

Shen Man pursed his lips, took one out of the cigarette case, handed it to me, I took it and put it in my mouth, and Shen Man lit the fire for me.

I took a leisurely puff and asked Shen Man, "Mr. Shen, how long do you want to smoke a pack of cigarettes now?" ”

"It's like 4 or 5 days, I'm stressed at work or in a bad mood, and I smoke a pack a day, what's wrong?"

"You smoke, I taught you to smoke, right?"

"I can't remember clearly....." Shen Man thought for a moment and replied.

I smiled and shook my head, how could she not remember, saying that she couldn't remember was just her pretense.

"Let's smoke less in the future." I said to Shen Man.

"Why?" Shen Man asked with a smile, while his fingers skillfully flicked off the ashes.

"The way you smoke, it's really not beautiful, have you ever seen Faye Wong smoking, that's called beauty!" I teased Shen Man.

"Ha~~ Why am I comparing myself to celebrities, smoking is just a pastime for me, it has nothing to do with beauty and ugliness, I don't care." Shen Man said with a smile.

"Women are like roses, smoke is like poison, in a woman's world, smoke and roses cannot coexist, if you want to be a woman like roses, don't smoke."

"You seem to be quite interesting." After Shen Man finished speaking, he snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand that was about to run out, looked at me with interest, and waited for me to continue.
