Chapter 34: Goodbye
Chen Zikun was drunk and smoky, and thought that he was dazzled, rubbing his eyes, it was indeed Xia Xiaoqing standing across the street, it was late at night, the shops on the street were all on the door panels, it was difficult to block the wind and rain under the eaves, and Xia Xiaoqing's trousers were wet.
Just about to cross the street, a carriage drove by, jingling bells, and then saw that there was no one under the eaves, Chen Zikun stood in the middle of the street and looked around, and finally found Xia Xiaoqing's traces, she was carrying a small burden and walking quickly into the distance.
Chen Zikun hurriedly caught up and tried to pull Xia Xiaoqing's hand, but she threw him away: "Leave me alone, you don't want me anymore, I'll go to my mother." ”
Chen Zikun felt ridiculous and angry, doesn't this show that he is coquettish, I really want to find your mother, why are you waiting for yourself on the street, but you can't say this, you can only coax at this time.
"Who said they didn't want you anymore." Chen Zikun drank some wine, and arrogantly held Xia Xiaoqing in his arms, he was ready to be slammed, but he knew that Xia Xiaoqing only symbolically resisted and surrendered, lying on Chen Zikun's shoulder with snot and tears.
"My dad beat me, don't want me anymore, I'm homeless, woo woo." Snot mixed with rain smeared on Chan's brand-new coat.
"Well, isn't there still me, come home with me." Chan said.
"That's not good, I'm not married to you, I went to your house in the middle of the night, and my reputation will be ruined." Xia Xiaoqing is colorful.
"Then ......" Chen Zikun scratched his head and said, "In that case, let's find a hotel to stay overnight." ”
Xia Xiaoqing bit her lip and thought for a long time: "Okay, but you are not allowed to play hooligans." ”
Chan said, "If you are there, I will open a room for you, and then go home and sleep." ”
Now Xia Xiaoqing was annoyed again: "Okay, you don't want me anymore, I'm not alive anymore, I'll go to my mother." ”
Chen Zikun complained bitterly, and said in his heart What does this woman think, this can't do it, it doesn't work, yes, Lao Tzu can't give up his life to accompany the gentleman.
"Okay, I'll be with you." Chen Zikun gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to make this important decision.
"Hee-hee, that's pretty much it." Xia Xiaoqing burst into tears and laughed.
Donglai Shun Restaurant is located in the area of Dong'an Market, there is a very good hotel called Donghua Inn nearby, and the hotel of the Six Nations Hotel is different from the foreign style of the hotel, Donghua Inn is the style of the Gaosheng Inn in the former Qing Dynasty, when the people who ushered in and sent to Beijing are the local officials who report to work, so the guest rooms are extremely luxurious and elegant, they are all inside and outside the suite room, the furniture is also Chinese, the house price is much cheaper than the Six Nations Hotel, and one night is only one piece of eight in the ocean.
When registering his name at the counter, Xia Xiaoqing hid behind Chen Zikun like a timid little daughter-in-law, but the guys at Donghua Inn were not surprised, thinking that they were foreign tourists who had just come from the train station to stay overnight.
opened a set of upper rooms on the second floor, the two walked into the room and looked around, the layout and furnishings were warm and homely, the red tent on the shelf bed was hanging low, I don't know why, Xia Xiaoqing's face was red, and Ai Ai was just about to speak, the guy came in with a basin of hot water, took out two red candles and lit them, put them on the candlestick and said: "There are often power outages at night, just get up at night." ”
Chen Zikun gave a dime tip and sent the guy away, latched the door, the two were a little embarrassed, they didn't know what to say, and Chen Zikun said: "What, wash and sleep, I'll just sleep on the ground." ”
Xia Xiaoqing said: "It's just a quilt, how to divide it." ”
"Then I don't cover the quilt, can I?"
"What should you do if you get frostbitten, I have to take you to see the doctor."
"So what do you say?" Chen Zikun is completely out of line.
Xia Xiaoqing smiled: "Seeing that you are so honest, I will reward you to go to bed, I will sleep inside and you will sleep outside, and you are not allowed to cross the line." ”
Chen Zikun's heart jumped wildly, and he said with a shy face: "What should I do if I cross the line?" ”
"Wherever the line is crossed, chop it." Xia Xiaoqing's wrist flipped and showed a snowy flying knife.
Chen Zikun swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to ask any more.
The two washed their faces and feet, Xia Xiaoqing and his clothes climbed into bed, Chen Zikun took off his long shirt, blew out the candles, and climbed into bed.
There was silence.
Xia Xiaoqing suddenly said: "I'm cold ......"
"What then?" Chan said.
"Hug ......"
"What are you going to do if you chop me up?"
"Stupid, you can pretend."
Having said that, Chen Zikun will really become a fool if he doesn't take action
There was a rustling sound, clothes were thrown out, belts were thrown out, and a sharp throwing knife was thrown out, and the handle of the knife was still trembling slightly on the wooden floor.
Koukoukoukou (omit the number of words, see the official's own brain)
Early in the morning, Chen Zikun woke up from his slumber and quietly got up to the window, where the drizzle was still beating on the window, and the wet streets were filled with pedestrians in twos and threes, and the city of Beijing was shrouded in smoke and rain.
Looking back at the bed, Xia Xiaoqing's lotus-like arm was stretched out of the quilt, and there was a trace of sparkling saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth, probably sensing Chen Zikun's gaze, Xia Xiaoqing opened his eyes, retracted his arm, and whispered: "My clothes." ”
"Is that it?" Chen Zikun picked up a pink belly pocket and asked, It's funny, Xia Xiaoqing is always dressed in heroic practice clothes on weekdays, but the underwear is like this.
Xia Xiaoqing blushed and nodded, waited for Chen Zikun to throw his belly pocket over, put it into the quilt, and said, "I'm hungry." ”
"What do you want to eat. I'm going to buy it. Chen Zikun stammered.
"Hmm......" Xia Xiaoqing's eyes blinked, and he thought for a while and said, "Sugar fire, oil noodle tea." ”
"Okay, I'll go." Chen Zikun got dressed and went downstairs, went to the street to buy two servings of sugar fire and oil noodle tea, and after thinking about it, he bought a piece of Aiwowo and donkey rolling, both of which are famous sweets in Beijing.
returned to the hostel, went upstairs to open the door, but saw that the bed was empty, and thought that Xia Xiaoqing had gone to the toilet, and after waiting for a while, no one came, Chen Zikun was anxious, and he looked everywhere but did not see anyone, and then returned to the room to look for it, only to find that Xia Xiaoqing's burden was gone.
Hurriedly went downstairs to ask the guy, and the shopkeeper on duty at the counter told him that the tall girl had just gone out and left a note for herself.
Chen Zikun took the note, only to see a line written on it: I'm leaving, don't look for me, meet again.
The handwriting is very immature, it is from Xia Xiaoqing's handwriting, Chen Zikun hurriedly rushed out of the inn to the street to look around, the rain wet his clothes, the carriage and the car roared by him, where is the shadow of the person next to the pillow last night in the vast sea of people.
……
Chen Zikun went to the courtyard house rented by the Xia family's father and daughter, and people had already gone to the empty building, and went to the Longxugou Miscellaneous Courtyard to find it, and the neighbors said that they had not seen it since they moved away, and they had gone to the overpass to find it, but there was no trace.
This incident made Chen Zikun extremely lost and depressed, and he wanted to go to Cangzhou's hometown to find Xia Xiaoqing, but after thinking about it, since he wanted to avoid himself, he definitely didn't go back to Cangzhou, and besides, the day of his going abroad was approaching, and it would not be beautiful to toss and delay the big event.
If there is fate, then we will definitely see you again, Chen Zikun had to comfort himself with Xia Xiaoqing's parting message.
In the past few days, there are still friends who sent Cheng Yi to come, Zhao Dahai's master Zhao Yuchen, Xu Guodong of the Police Department, and even Yu Zhankui of the Qitian Martial Arts Hall also sent his eldest disciple Yan Zhiyong to send a red envelope of twenty yuan.
In the blink of an eye, the day of departure, Chen Zikun's study abroad affairs were all undertaken by the War Department, and the funds and passports were collected here, when he entered the gate of the War Department again, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, when he came for the first time a few months ago, he led the people to rampage here, rummaging through the cabinets, but today he had to politely return the salute to the sentry.
When he came to an office, he was greeted by a colonel officer, who was outrageously young, and Chan estimated that the officer would be twenty-five years old at most.
The colonel was gentle and elegant, and the sterling silver cufflinks on the French folded shirt were exposed in the cuffs of his straight tweed military uniform, and a European and American style was revealed in his gestures, and he politely beckoned Chen Zikun to sit down, let the orderlies go to make coffee, and sat with him, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen Shi went abroad to study this time, we are authentic alumni." ”
Chen Zikun wondered: "The chief is also from the Academy of American Affairs? ”
The colonel said: "My name is Wang Geng, and I am a graduate of West Point in 1918, so you are my junior." ”
Chen Zikun was in awe: "Oh, it's disrespectful, it turns out to be a senior, I have to ask you for advice." ”
Wang Geng said: "That's natural, but let's talk about business today, your funds for going abroad have been approved, your passport was also done yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent someone to send it over, everything is here, you can sign for it." ”
A Republic of China passport and a 5,000 yuan cashier's note from the Bank of China were handed over to Chen Zikun in a briefcase.
"I don't know if Brother Chen has time at night, let's make an appointment to sit down, the coffee from the War Department is really unpalatable." Wang Geng said with a smile.
"Then bother." Chan readily agreed.
……
That night, Chen Zikun was invited to participate in the party held by Wang Geng and his wife in the Beijing Hotel, and he missed Yao Yilei on the bright dance floor.
"Xiao Chen, why don't you dance?" A delicate and lovely woman sat directly beside him, followed by Wang Geng with a wine glass: "Let me introduce, my wife, Lu Xiaoman, this is ......"
Lu Xiaoman interrupted him with a giggle: "I know, who doesn't know Chen Zikun, a young talent who is so red and purple in Beijing today. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Chen Zikun, looking like an empress.
Her accent has a bit of the soft language of Southern Wu Nong, and the high-minded lady is a little similar to Yao Yilei, Chen Zikun couldn't help but be in a trance, and he didn't react stupidly.
"My wife invited you to dance." Wang Geng reminded with a smile that he was not wearing a military uniform at this time, but a graceful evening dress.
"I'm sorry." Chen Zikun hurriedly got up and dragged Lu Xiaoman onto the dance floor, just as the song ended, the band changed to a cheerful dance song.
"Will it be tango?" Lu Xiaoman asked.
"Yes." At this moment, Chen Zikun seems to have returned to the moment when he was with Yao Yilei.
With the sound of exotic dance music, the two danced, tango is different from the graceful and luxurious court waltz, the movements are extremely hot and bold, not only the dance skills are very demanding, the temperament and body shape of the dancer are more demanding.
Chen Zikun is a martial arts background, Foshan can play without shadow feet, not to mention tango, plus he is tall and long-legged, with a small and exquisite dance skills Lu Xiaoman, it is simply a perfect match, especially when he turns his head, a pair of electric eyes are even more fascinated by the female guests present.
At the end of the song, there was silence for a moment, and suddenly applause broke out, and Wang Geng applauded even more, very excited.
"It's ugly." Chan is a little restrained, after all, he doesn't often go in and out of this kind of social circle.
"Where, you're a master of the forest." Lu Xiaoman was drenched in sweat and her eyes were like silk.
