They had lunch in the club clubhouse, and Shangguan originally proposed to play cards, but Ye Shenkuan temporarily answered a phone call and had something to leave, so they dispersed. Shangguan Boyao lived in Puxi, and after crossing the river, he encountered a traffic jam, so he had to be caught in the traffic and move forward slowly. I was bored looking at the beautiful woman on the sidewalk, and suddenly I saw a figure in the rearview mirror, with long hair and big eyes, and a very sweet look, as if I had seen it somewhere. When I looked closely, it was clear that it was the girl I bumped into this morning, and she really had nowhere to find it when she stepped on the iron shoes, and it didn't take much effort to get there. Seeing that she was holding a supermarket shopping bag in both hands, she hurriedly pressed the window and called her: "Hey! ”

Du Xiaosu walked with his head down, he didn't pay attention at all, he called several times before she glanced over here, only to see him push the car door halfway open, and beckoned to her with a smile: "Come up!" ”

She looked around, and he smiled even brighter: "Don't know me anymore?" In the morning, he learned the sound ......of the engine vividly, and Du Xiaosu saw him smile and show a mouthful of white teeth, so he remembered that he was the one who raced with Lei Yuzheng in the morning.

"Get in the car! Otherwise, the probe will be photographed! He urged her, "Hurry up, hurry up!" You carry so many things, I'll send you home! ”

She said, "No, my house is right in front." ”

He kept a straight face: "You suspect that I am a bad person? ”

There is no bad guy in this world who drives an Audi R8, at most he is just a panicked boy.

She was still hesitating, and he desperately urged: "Hurry up, hurry up!" There are traffic police ahead! Fast! ”

She was so hungry that she quickly pulled the car door and got into the car. As soon as he closed the car door, he really saw the traffic police walking from the front, he was very satisfied with her agile movements, and praised her: "It's really good, I almost saw it." ”

In fact, at that time in the morning, he and Lei Yuzheng were speeding, and the probe was estimated to have taken ten or eight times earlier.

She smiled and buckled up. It's just that the speed of the car is about the same as walking.

Although there was a traffic jam, he was not idle: "I am Shangguan Boyao, the erudite Bo, the Yao of 'Bird Raw Fish Soup'." What's your name? ”

"Du Xiaosu."

"That's a nice name, it's good." He still joked in a smooth tone, "Lei Er, this kid, every time he finds a girlfriend, the name is very good." ”

"It's not." Her expression was very calm, "I'm not his girlfriend. ”

He seemed surprised, glanced at her, and then said: "I really haven't seen you like this, people want others to misunderstand it as his girlfriend, so you are in a hurry to get rid of it." ”

Du Xiaosu was silent.

"But that's fine." He suddenly smiled at her, "Since it's not his girlfriend, then be my girlfriend." ”

Du Xiaosu couldn't react a little, and his big dark eyes were full of astonishment. Shangguan said to himself: "Look, I'm good-looking, at least more handsome than Lei, right?" When it comes to money, don't look at him being busier than me, but I'm not necessarily poorer than him. Besides, he is such an unemotional person, he only knows how to pretend to be cool all day long, and you will suffocate to death with him......"

Now Du Xiaosu really understood, this is really a boring boy, so she said: "I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend." Thank you. ”

Shangguan glanced at her and said, "Don't lie, if you really have a boyfriend, how can you go to the supermarket alone on weekends and carry two big bags." Even if you really have a boyfriend, from this point of view, he will fail, and quickly forget about him! ”

Du Xiaosu was a little sad and said in a low voice: "I will never forget him." "Fooling himself and turning his head to look out the window. The car walked slowly, there were many people on the sidewalk, everyone was in a hurry, the street was surging like a tide, but there was not even a similar figure.

"Lying is not a good habit." Shangguan grinned, "That's it, be my girlfriend." ”

"I do have a boyfriend." She finally turned her face, her eyes slightly red, "I didn't lie to you, his name is Shao Zhenrong." ”

He didn't speak for a long time, and it was a long time before he said, "I'm sorry." ”

"Nothing." Du Xiaosu whispered. Pressing the long bread that came out of the shopping bag, her eyelashes were long, curved like a small fan, and hung down to appear longer, as if there was a layer of fog separating something. The car fell silent all of a sudden, and he stopped giggling with her, while she bit her lower lip slightly, clutching the supermarket shopping bag. After a long time, she said, "I'm here, it's hard to park over there, just let me go here." ”

"It's fine." He drove straight over, stopped next to the no-stop sign, and asked her, "Is this the place?" ”

She nodded, and as soon as she pushed the car door, he had already gotten out of the car, and grabbed her two big bags first: "I'll send you up!" ”

"No need!"

He insisted: "I'll send you!" ”

He was still holding her things, and she couldn't go with him to grab them, so she had to lean sideways in front to lead the way. I took the elevator upstairs and walked through the hallway to the door, and she said, "Thank you, I'm here." ”

"I'll help you get in." He frowned and looked at the transparent shopping bag, "Instant noodles, instant vermicelli, canned ham, bread, you eat this all day long?" ”

"I have to go to work, and sometimes I don't have time to cook." She was a little nervous, but he was blocked by the door like a tower, so she had to open the door and let him in.

She poured him a cup of tea and put the two large bags in the fridge. He ran to the kitchen with a teacup in his hand and asked her, "Did you buy or rent this house?" ”

"Rented."

"It's in the west." He sweated all over his head, "Your whole wall is hot, isn't it hot?" ”

The temperature is too high today, in fact, she turned on the air conditioner as soon as she entered the door, but the temperature has not dropped yet. She was a little apologetic, and hurriedly grabbed the remote control and turned the temperature down again.

The air conditioner was still "ticking", and suddenly I heard him say, "I'll find you a house." Immediately added, "Don't get me wrong, I have a friend who works as a real estate agent, he must have a suitable one on hand, and it can be a little cheaper than the market, you just pay the rent to others." ”

She is a frightened bird, where can she dare to take such an advantage, and quickly shook her head: "No need, it's good for me to live here." I have a house, Zhenrong left me ...... However, there is no decoration...... When the decoration is complete, you can move. ”

Shangguan said, "Then I will invite you to dinner, and you should make amends." ”

In fact, he didn't offend her, she had to say that she had made an appointment in the evening, and he laughed again: "It's really not a good habit to lie." I didn't eat enough at noon, and I was already hungry. Don't be polite, okay? Although we have just met, Lei Er's younger brother is just like my younger brother, let's go, just have a meal. ”

Zhenrong is mentioned implicitly, but she tries to make herself look not pitiful, she doesn't need pity. He probably regretted his mistake: "You see, I'm so hungry that I can't even speak." I'll treat you to a barbecue, so I don't have to be bored to eat alone. ”

Although he is a smooth and smooth son, he suddenly becomes serious, which is not easy to refuse. The two of them went downstairs, but they happened to see the traffic police directing the trailer and lifting the front of his R8 car.

"Hey, hey!" He hurriedly rushed over, "Comrade policeman, wait a minute! Please wait a moment! ”

The traffic police glanced at him: "You are the owner of the car?" Pointing to the large no-stop sign, "Do you know what this is?" ”

He was sweating profusely: "Comrade, it's like this, you listen to me. I had a fight with my girlfriend, she got out of the car and left, I had to leave the car here to chase her, and finally coaxed her to change her mind, you see, I'm not coming back right away? He pointed to Du Xiaosu not far away, "Look at it, you are going to tow the car away, she is angry, and she has to quarrel with me, she and I plan to get the marriage certificate tomorrow, and now it is all yellow." You do good deeds, and this is related to my lifelong happiness......"

The policeman glanced at Du Xiaosu suspiciously, then at Shangguan with a sincere face, and then at the R8, and finally took out the ticket, lowered his head and copied the license plate: "Go to the bank and pay a fine of 200 yuan yourself, and the car will not be delayed." ”

"Thank you, thank you." Shangguan took the ticket and seemed to sigh from the bottom of his heart, "You are really a good person!" ”

The police instructed the tow truck to put the car down, and taught the officer: "Even if you are in a hurry with your girlfriend, you must pay attention to obeying the traffic rules." ”

"Yes, yes."

"And the little girl." The policeman turned his face away and taught Du Xiaosu again, "What kind of temper is there on the road, danger comes!" ”

"That's it!" Shangguan winked at Du Xiaosu, "Let's go!" Let's eat barbecue. ”

After getting into the car, Du Xiaosu said: "It's really smooth for you to lie." ”

"Just kidding, I'm a director of a public company." His expression was very serious and serious, "Do you know what a listed company is?" It's the kind of lying that doesn't change its face. ”

Du Xiaosu finally couldn't help but laugh "poof".

Shangguan praised her: "Look how good you look when you smile, you should smile more." ”

She smiled again, a little abruptly.

I thought he would take him to one of the bustling Brazilian restaurants, but who knew that he would take her to another district and find a small restaurant: "Tell you, the best barbecue in the city is here." ”

I didn't expect a boy like him to find this kind of place to eat. The place was small, the table was still greasy, and the shop had a smoky smell, and the waiter ignored them, but the barbecue was so delicious that he ate it with a greasy mouth, and asked her, "Is it delicious?" ”

She had meat in her mouth and nodded.

He was very satisfied with her appearance: "That's right, you'll be happier when you're full." ”

She took a sip of the juice and said, "I'm not unhappy. ”

"Look at you, lying again." He casually said, "Your eyes are full of sadness. ”

She was stunned for a moment before laughing: "I didn't expect you to lie smoothly, and your literary tone is also quite smooth." ”

"Actually, I am the most worthy literary young man this year." He raised his glass as if infinitely humble and polite, "Thank you." ”

She toasted with him, drank a lot of sour plum juice in one gulp, and then munched on the table and ate more of the roast.

I didn't expect to get to know Shangguan on this. He is very idle and very noisy, and there are always two or three days a week when he can't find anyone to eat, especially on weekends, and always calls her: "Come out to eat, eat friend." ”

So she thought it was strange: "You don't have to be busy with business? Don't you boys have a lot of entertainment? ”

"I am the second ancestor, do you know what the second ancestor is? It's the kind of money that just spends money and doesn't make money, and you don't have to do anything except eat, drink and have fun. ”

She asked him, "Your old man doesn't care about you?" ”

"He's busy, so he doesn't have time to care about me."

"Then you don't have to inherit the family business or anything?"

"With my eldest brother here, which round will I inherit the family business, besides, I am not born to the same mother as him. Hey, this is not something that can be explained in one sentence or two, so I won't tell you. ”

didn't expect such a happy Shangguan to have such a complicated family background, she couldn't help but think of TVB's wealthy family grievances, the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so she was very interested in asking more.

On this day, they ate Huizhou cuisine, the whole restaurant is an old ancestral hall in Huizhou, from Huizhou local brick by brick dismantling and transporting, and then reset one by one, the wood carvings and stone carvings are exquisitely breathtaking, the real ancient style and ancient charm, a hundred years of old things, in the middle of which is already a kind of enjoyment, it is rare that the dish is also very delicious.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet Lin Xiangyuan and Jiang Fanlu.

Du Xiaosu's expression changed when he saw Jiang Fanlu's delicate face from a distance, but Jiang Fanlu also saw them, and actually said something to Lin Xiangyuan, Lin Xiangyuan glanced at them, a little helpless, but still got up and walked over with Jiang Fanlu.

With such a huge city and a population of tens of millions, why do you always have to meet the last person you want to meet?

Du Xiaosu took a spoon and plucked the fish soup in the bowl, thinking a little wistfully.

As a result, after Jiang Fanlu came over, he only looked at her, and then greeted Shangguan with a smile on his face: "Little uncle." ”

She looked up at Shangguan in astonishment, Shangguan seemed to nod casually, he had always been this casual style in front of outsiders: "You guys are coming to dinner?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Fanlu seemed to have really met his elders, a little respectful, but Du Xiaosu felt that he had never seen the world.

He didn't introduce Du Xiaosu to Jiang Fanlu, nor did he introduce Jiang Fanlu to Xiaosu, but only said to Jiang Fanlu: "Then go to dinner, don't worry about me." ”

It was Lin Xiangyuan who glanced at Xiaosu, Du Xiaosu only ate his own and didn't pay attention to them at all.

When they walked away, Shangguan said, "My distant niece and her husband." ”

Her mood didn't change at all: "You still have such a big niece?" ”

He was a little stupid: "My father gave birth to me when he was old, and we have many relatives, those who are far and near, not to mention nieces, and even nieces and grandchildren." ”

Du Xiaosu didn't take this chance encounter to heart at all, but she didn't expect that Lin Xiangyuan would call her a few days later.

Call her on her phone and ask her out to meet.

She refused, but Lin Xiangyuan insisted: "Why don't you decide on a place, I just have a few words to tell you, and I will leave after speaking, and I won't delay you for a long time." ”

She felt ridiculous: "Vice President Lin, if you have anything to say, you can say it on the phone." ”

He paused for a few seconds before saying, "Xiaosu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

She felt bored with how she could fall in love with such a person back then, always apologizing afterwards, but refusing to take responsibility when it happened.

When I was young, I was really shallow.

"If it's for last time," she said, "it doesn't have to. I know you have good intentions to help me, but I am sorry for misleading your wife. ”

He seemed to sigh, but said, "Xiaosu, I know I'm sorry for you." But if you're here alone, you must take care of yourself. ”

She said, "Thank you." I always felt that he called, not just for these few words. Sure enough, he said: "Xiaosu, do you know the details of Shangguan Boyao? ”

Really.

She said in her heart that he was going to say that he was not a good person.

Lin Xiangyuan said: "He's not a good person, Xiaosu, stay away from him, this kind of son-in-law, if you get wet, you will die without a place to be buried." ”

She almost sneered: "Mr. Lin, thank you, thank you for calling me to persuade me to get lost." But I don't want your wife to misunderstand again, so let's end the call. As for whether I am dating Brother Gongzi, that is my private matter and has nothing to do with you. ”

She hung up the phone with a "click", only to feel chills all over her body, how she was so obsessed with her mind back then, that she loved this person so much.

But this incident also reminded her that in the eyes of outsiders, perhaps her relationship with Shangguan was already ambiguous. So when Shangguan called again, she was reluctant to go out, saying that she was busy with work and rarely went to eat those strange things with him anymore.

Zou Siqi agreed with this, she said: "That Shangguan has peach blossoms in his eyes when he sees it, we girls from good families can't afford to hide." ”

Du Xiaosu saw her straighten her chest, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm still a girl, I'll be old soon." ”

Zou Siqi glanced at her: "Yes, you will be twenty-four soon, so old." ”

Her eyes dimmed for a moment. Last year, Shao Zhenrong celebrated her birthday, and this year, she has only herself.

It's only twenty-four years old, but it seems that half of his life has passed.

Zou Siqi said: "How do you want to spend your birthday? ”

"I want to go home," she said. ”

But instead of going home, she took a leave of absence to book a plane ticket to that strange and familiar city.

It's only early autumn in Shanghai, and it's late autumn in the north, and the trees on the roadside are falling their leaves, and the sidewalks are in a hurry, and their windbreakers are blown by the wind. The taxi driver pulled her and asked her at every street entrance, "South or north?" ”

In the labyrinthine old town, she actually found the alley in her memory. Although she had only been here once, when she saw the two black courtyard gates, she knew that they were here.

I paid for the car and got out of the car with a large bag of gifts.

Before knocking on the door, she was a little nervous and didn't know what she was afraid of. As a result, the nanny came to open the door and asked her who she was looking for, but before she could answer, she heard Zhao's mother's voice asking in the yard, "Who is it?" ”

She called softly: "Mother Zhao." ”

When Zhao's mother saw her, she grabbed her hand, and her tears almost fell: "Child, why are you here?" ”

She was afraid that she would cry too, so she tried her best to hold back and said with a smile: "I'll come to see you." ”

"Come into the house, come." Zhao's mother took her hand and refused to let go, "You kid, don't say a word when you come, I'll pick you up, this place is not easy to find." ”

"It's okay, I remember the way."

Because Zhenrong brought her here, she remembers, remembers firmly, everything about him, she will always remember it.

Mother Zhao took her hand and saw the ring on her finger, she couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes, but she still looked at her with a reluctant smile: "Why are you thin again?" Your second brother happened to be back today, Mother Zhao is so happy that you can still come to see me. ”

Only then did she see Lei Yuzheng. He stood at the bottom of the eaves under the blue sky of late autumn in the north, the quiet autumn sun reflected on the top of his hair, and the halo made his hair almost blue, perhaps because he was wearing a dark blue sweater, he looked gentle and elegant, which was very different from his usual coldness. When she thought of Zhenronglai, she felt even more sad.

The nanny poured tea for her, and Zhao's mother treated her like a child, not only took out the fruit plate, but also grabbed a handful of chocolates for her: "Eat, child." ”

She slowly peeled the tin foil of the chocolate and put it in her mouth, it was sweet and bitter, and she couldn't taste anything. Zhao's mother went to buy vegetables in person and said to them: "You are all eating here today, I will go to buy vegetables, and you will sit for a while." Xiao Zheng, you accompany Xiaosu to talk. ”

Du Xiaosu only felt moved, and when Zhao's mother left, she didn't know what to say to Lei Yuzheng, so she just silently held the cup and drank tea. Jasmine tea, a faint aroma, lingers between the teeth and cheeks, if there is nothing. The house is very quiet, it is rare to hear the sound of pigeon whistles, and in the large window facing south, you can see two jujube trees in the courtyard, the leaves have almost fallen, and the branches are decorated with red jujubes, covering the autumn colors of the courtyard. Time seems to stand still, only the sunlight under the eaves, warmly reflected in front of the window, reminds people of the footsteps of time. She wondered what Shao Zhenrong looked like when he was a child, whether he was also carefree and having fun in autumn like the northern country.

"What are you doing here?" His voice suddenly shattered her thoughts. She seemed to be taken aback, and looked at him a little stunned for a few seconds before she answered, "I'll just come to see Mother Zhao." ”

He didn't say anything more, he didn't treat her much after all, from the beginning to the present.

But after Zhao's mother came back, he changed his appearance again, treated her very politely, and didn't seem to treat her as an outsider like Zhao's mother, especially when eating. Mother Zhao gave him one of the thighs of the stewed old hen, and the other to Xiaosu: "You two eat more, you are busy all day long, and the rice is not delicious." ”

He seemed to want to make Zhao's mother happy, so he finished eating the chicken leg by dividing it by two, and asked, "Is there anything else?" I can clean up together. ”
