Yuqin held the steering wheel with both hands, shook her head and said, "I'm just afraid that I will never wake up!" ”

Zhu Huaijing's heart sank suddenly, and his body fluttered lightly. He grabbed Yuqin's hand and couldn't say a word. Yuqin closed her eyes and leaned lazily. Zhu Huaijing's chest was beating wildly, but he tried his best to calm himself and calmly hugged the jade qin. The two hugged each other tightly, rubbing and kissing. Yuqin's round shoulders couldn't stop trembling. He caressed her shoulder lovingly, slowly changed his posture, held Yuqin flat in his arms, and caressed it unwillingly. Yuqin lay quietly, like a sleeping beauty. After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes, sighed, and said, "Huaijing, let's go back, okay?" ”

The night was deep and the traffic was thin, but Yuqin still drove the car very slowly. Neither spoke the way.

When the car arrived at the gate of the city, Zhu Huaijing leaned over to kiss Yuqin, but kissed a wet and tearful face.

Zhu Huaijing got out of the car and stood there still, wanting to watch Yuqin drive the car away. But I saw that the lights were out, but the car was motionless. He waved her to go. Still nowhere to be seen. He thought that Yuqin must be watching him go first, so he waved his hand and walked inside the gate. He turned back as he walked, but he still saw that the white Honda seemed to be moving.

Zhu Huaijing didn't sleep much last night, and his head was a little heavy when he woke up early in the morning. Xiangmei only knew that he came back late last night, and he was supposed to sleep a little longer, but he got up early.

He always felt like something was going on, and he couldn't sleep well. At breakfast, Xiangmei asked how the conversation was yesterday. He said it was okay, and he didn't go into details. Xiangmei said that she had gone to the hospital yesterday afternoon and got everything done. The attending doctor has done the medical records as we intended, but he said that the cost of medicine must also be increased, otherwise it will not be like it. I don't think we pay for the medicine anyway, so it's up to them.

Zhu Huaijing said: "Don't do it like this, it's so boring." ”

Xiangmei was confused and asked, "What's going on?" That's what you're going to do! I said it wasn't good! I thought you weren't available, so I took a leave of absence to go to the hospital for an afternoon, but I ended up complaining. ”

Zhu Huaijing knew that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly explained: "I mean the owner of Longxing Hotel is also very polite, we are too bad, and we are not happy on face." This was only done by hired security guards, and they also fired the security guards, and Lao Song also arrested those two people. I'm a soft-hearted man. ”

Xiangmei thought for a while and said, "This thing is not easy to do." I asked someone to make the medical records, and now I ask someone to change it, how can I do it? And say we're capricious. Since the medical records have done this, it would be foolish not to ask them to compensate for the disability. I'm stupid, I'm stupid, and others will say you're incompetent. ”

He thought it was the same thing, so he had to say, "That's the only way to go." ”

After breakfast, I still sent Kiki to school first. As soon as he finished cleaning in the office, Liu Zhongxia came over and said that he had a short meeting and had a few things to talk about. It is said that before the meeting in the office, Liu Zhongxia should first talk to him and discuss what to say. But Liu Zhongxia often improvises, opens whenever he wants, and always greets him. He felt a little unhappy in his heart. As soon as the meeting began, he found that there was no substance, but Director Liu conveyed the spirit of several meetings he had attended in the past few days. He was a little absent-minded, always worried about whether someone would call. But Director Liu's speech is verbose, and very simple things always have to be repeated over and over again. Director Liu has the kind of problem of being a scholar, his thinking is multi-layered, and he is logical when thinking about problems, but his expression is chaotic, which makes people feel redundant and do not understand the essentials.

Finally, after the meeting, Zhu Huaijing was the first to leave the conference room. When I looked at my watch, I found that it had been on for more than two hours. According to his work habits, it would be a maximum of 40 minutes. As soon as I sat down, the phone rang. His heart pounded. When he answered the phone, it was Song Daqing calling. He couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Song Daqing said that he called as soon as he got to work, but no one answered. He said he had just had an emergency meeting before returning to his office. Song Daqing said that he didn't catch up with him yesterday, so I'm so sorry. He said, "Where, where." Yesterday I also wanted to take a sauna, but I am dirt, I can't smell the perfume inside, I only feel dizzy, and I didn't even do a massage before I came out. Besides, I'm not worried about the water there. I didn't see you when I came out, so I didn't bother. It's not far, take a taxi and you'll be home. Song Daqing said a few more polite words, and the two hung up the phone.

He didn't know if Song Daqing would know about last night's massage. It's not a good thing to get hold of it. After returning home last night, he first hung up Yuqin's phone anxiously, but no one answered, and terrifying speculations kept popping up in his heart, for fear that something would happen to her. In the end, Yuqin was cold, as if what had just happened was just an illusion of his own. His mind was clouded. Could it be that this woman is so unpredictable? Later, I thought about massage. In the middle of the night, people's thoughts are usually amplified, and fear and remorse continue to swell, like two cold snakes clinging to him. I remembered that I was very interested in other women on weekdays, and I felt that I was extremely despicable. He still considers himself a decent person all the time, but he is a well-dressed beast in his bones! If this thing were to be laid out in broad daylight, how would he be human? Because he climbed into the woman's body, his conscience would not be at peace for the rest of his life. But it was so uncomfortable to blame himself like this, and he had to find an explanation to comfort himself. So he thought, if he still had some kind of evil thoughts about such ugly things that he knew he couldn't do, then he had the audacity to do it today, and found that it was just like that, and it was boring. I will never do such a thing again. After all, he is a person with knowledge and status, so he must live a hierarchical and stylish life.

Now, he sits alone in his office, and what he can't forget in his mind is Yuqin. Don't dare to hang up the phone. Yesterday she was suddenly so cold, I really don't know what she thought. Is it to blame him for being too pretentious? It doesn't seem to be. He hung up anyway. The phone was connected, and Yuqin answered the phone: "Who?" Seeing that it was Zhu Huaijing, Yuqin was silent. He hurriedly said, "Yuqin, how are you?" How are you? You speak! Yuqin remained silent. Zhu Huaijing couldn't tell if he was in a hurry or angry, so he shouted repeatedly: "What's wrong with you Yuqin?" What the hell is wrong with you, what's wrong, what's wrong......" He was still busy asking, but Yuqin put the phone down. Zhu Huaijing was still listening to the buzz of the phone, and it took a long time.

Zhu Huaijing couldn't do anything anymore, and walked back and forth in the office. Colleagues come in, thinking he's thinking about something important, so they don't bother him. After a while, Xiangmei called and asked when Simao's matter would have a result. He was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to get angry, but he couldn't help it, and only said that he was very busy now, and he would talk about it then. He put down the phone and still walked back and forth. It's really boring to think about doing things for Simao again. Why are you so cheesy? What would Yuqin think if she knew that he was such a person? Why did Yuqin ignore people all of a sudden? Did she know about the sauna? If that's the case, he's really faceless. There are many women in the world, how can you play with prostitutes? Prostitutes aren't for us people!

After leaving work at noon, he didn't want to go home. I couldn't remember where I was going. I only thought about Yuqin in my heart. But apparently this is not to go to her rashly. I really couldn't figure out what she meant, and I was afraid that I would be bored; Second, she was busy at the moment, and she didn't have time to greet him; Third, going there during the day is too eye-catching, maybe something will come out of it. Anyway, I don't want to go back, so I just go out alone.

It was cold outside, so he stiffened his neck and shook. After walking on the street for a while, I thought of Li Mingxi. I'm afraid I haven't been to him for a year, so I'm going to see it. He looked around, wanting to make a phone call first to see if Li Mingxi was not at home. Before he was about to call, he stopped again. Make a ghost call, he won't come back, anyway, it's messing around. I got on the bus to the Academy of Fine Arts.

As soon as you get off the bus, there is a rickshaw master soliciting business. There is still a fork in the road to the Academy of Fine Arts, and the bus can't get there, so you have to take a rickshaw. Zhu Huaijing's expression was blank and he didn't care about others. He wanted to walk in alone. Zhu Huaijing has always insisted on not taking rickshaws and not letting others shine their shoes. He wanted to teach this to his son in the future. I remember where I saw the family motto of a Western rich man, and I only listed a dozen of them, teaching children what to do by themselves and what not to do, which is very simple and practical. is not like the kind of family motto handed down in our country, which is full of great truth and full of Taoism. Everyone listens to people talk about big truths all day long outside, and they have to listen to big truths when they go home, which is really bearable. Zhu Huaijing thought about the family mottos written by the ancients, but he was afraid that they were just for circulation, not so much to teach future generations, but to leave a name for himself. This inevitably requires posturing.

Zhu Huaijing thought so crankily, and arrived at the Academy of Fine Arts. The forest of the Academy of Fine Arts is very good, the forest path is straight, and the leaves are all over the ground. Some of the students were standing and squatting, sketching with their sketchpads. Zhu Huaijing thought that these people who were engaged in art were not long, so cold and freezing, but they came here to play deeply.

Zhu Huaijing is a person who doesn't know the direction, and he hasn't been here for more than a year, and after a few turns, he can't distinguish between north and south. When he was wearing a mask, he saw a boy with long hair and a shawl squatting in the woods and didn't know what to do. Zhu Huaijing was curious and walked over. But I saw that the boy found some fallen leaves, and put them on a blank piece of paper, and it became a wonderful painting. Zhu Huaijing was surprised in his heart, and saw the young man holding a pen and inscribed a line of words next to him: Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan. With this title, it is even more divine. I saw the chrysanthemum climbing the bamboo fence, a Weng like a fairy, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the distant mountains are vague. "Miaomiao!" Zhu Huaijing screamed. When the boy looked up, he saw that it was a stranger, so he said nothing, but bowed his head and went about his business. Zhu Huaijing watched him pick a leaf, put it in the palm of his hand and spread it out, as if he was enchanted, he was busy picking up a few leaves on the ground for a while, and then picked out a few leaves. Zhu Huaijing couldn't see anything special about these leaves. He wanted to see how the young man put them together. In just three or two clicks, there was an old man with a bamboo hat and a palm lily fishing in Jiangzhu, and a small boat was next to him. Zhu Huaijing was imitating this artistic conception, and saw that the boy was inscribed with "Fishing alone in the cold river and snow". Zhu Huaijing wanted to see the name of the boy's inscription clearly, but the word was too thin and grassy, and he only vaguely saw a word clearly. Zhu Huaijing couldn't help but sigh again: "It's really good!" This time, the boy didn't raise his head, but only cared about himself. Zhu Huaijing felt bored, so he asked with a sneer: "Do you know where Mr. Li Mingxi lives?" The boy didn't have time at hand, so he just used his mouth to snuggle up.

Zhu Huaijing walked in the direction pointed by the boy for a while, saw the two-story teacher's dormitory, and slowly got an impression. I went up to the second floor, and I estimated that I had been touching for a long time, but I didn't know which door to knock on. At this time, a woman came, and he hurriedly asked politely, "Miss, which room does Mr. Li Mingxi live in?" The woman didn't look at him, but raised her hand vaguely. Zhu Huaijing didn't react, and the woman went downstairs. He knocked on a random door. It took a long time for the door to open slowly. A man with a disheveled hair stared at him with bulging eyes, and he was startled. The man bared his teeth and laughed. It turned out to be Li Mingxi.

Zhu Huaijing entered the door and said, "It's hard to see a person who can laugh here, but he laughs so terrifyingly." Li Mingxi bared his teeth again and smiled strangely.

"Why are you getting more and more like an insane asylum here? As soon as I came in, I either saw nervous people or wooden people. Zhu Huaijing is still talking about his perception.

Li Mingxi said: "I am here every day, I feel very natural! Maybe it's because this is two worlds from you. It's a little colder between people here, but it's what it should be. Of course, it's not like shaking hands as soon as you meet, so it's so affectionate. ”

When Zhu Huaijing heard this, he didn't continue to talk. He knew that if he continued, it would be meaningless to ridicule each other. He looked up at the calligraphy and paintings hanging in a mess on the four walls. Several couplets are written upside down: "You only drink when you are interested, and you only paint when you are bored", "Only write about flowers, birds, insects and fish, regardless of autumn, winter, spring and summer". Zhu Huaijing vaguely remembered the couplet "Flowers, Birds, Insects and Fish", as if Zhou Zuoren had a similar one, so he asked: "Do you like Zhou Zuoren's article?" ”

Li Mingxi said: "I don't know how to learn, and I don't like to read the most." What Zhou Zuoren? Seems to have heard of it. ”

Zhu Huaijing knew that Li Mingxi deliberately said this, so he said: "You are such a simple and vulgar person, and you are also so cheesy." Nowadays, it is fashionable for most people to not learn and not know how to do it, and you are also in fashion. ”

Li Mingxi's eyes widened and asked, "I don't understand this." In the past, people didn't know how to pretend to understand, but now why is it fashionable to not learn and not learn? I don't understand the world. ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "You really seem to be living outside the world. You don't remember, people used to say that my level was limited. This is actually just a polite remark, and the person who says it actually thinks he is very knowledgeable. Because at that time, people still respected the learned. Later, the ticket became more important, and the knowledge was worthless, and everyone said that they were coarse. Because most of the learned people don't have tickets. ”

Li Mingxi said: "I don't care if it's fashionable or not. I don't read much. There aren't a few books worth reading. ”

Zhu Huaijing laughed and said, "You're too crazy, aren't you, there's no book worth reading?" But your couplet of flowers, birds, insects and fish, if you haven't seen Zhou Zuoren write it, you really have two hands. The realm of some of Zhou Zuoren's articles is really detached. I think you're a superworldly person too. Zhu Huaijing looked directly at Li Mingxi, feeling that this person's mind was full of unbelievable thoughts, which were very incomparable.

I don't know when. Zhu Huaijing does not wear a watch. Li Mingxi is a person who has nothing to do with time at all, and he can't find Zhong here. It is estimated that it is time to go to work, Zhu Huaijing hung up the phone in Liu Zhongxia's office, and only said that a relative from the family came to see a doctor in the hospital, and he wanted to say hello and ask for leave.

If Li Mingxi were like an ordinary person, he would definitely ask him how he had time to play? Can I help you? Don't go to work? But he had no such concepts. just laughed with Zhu Huaijing. At this time, he saw Zhu Huaijing hanging up the phone to Director Liu, so he asked, "What is your name as Director Liu?" The painting is finished, but there is no inscription yet. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a landscape on the wall. In the near corner of the picture is a thatched hut with a wild charm, with a bamboo fence and a firewood lightly hidden. Next to the thatched hut is a bamboo forest, only a corner is exposed, but I see a few new bamboo shoots, quite spring. There was also an old mulberry branch, several young leaves, and two fat insects crawling on it. In the distance, the mountains are light and the clouds are low, as if there has just been a spring rain, revealing a fresh sunny light. Although the picture is full, it is not too congested, but because of the contrast between far and near, the layers are clear, and the colors are bright, which makes the scene open and stretched, and the weather is extraordinary. Zhu Huaijing hurriedly said: "Good drawing, good painting." Director Liu's name is Liu Zhongxia. I don't know how you inscribed? Don't imply ridicule. ”

Li Mingxi didn't say anything, and wrote the inscription in the upper left: Bamboo fence hut, the bottom is the Tibetan spring. Mr. Liu Zhongxia is elegant. and the inscription in the lower right: Savage Li Mingxi, a certain winter moon.

Zhu Huaijing said: "You will be the crazy man Li Mingxi next time." As he spoke, he thought the two insects in the painting were a little weird. On closer inspection, it seems to be a silkworm. Silkworm babies are cute, but they go against common sense. How can silkworms climb mulberry trees on their own?

Li Mingxi saw his doubts and said with a smile: "I only painted mulberry leaves, and I don't want to climb the silkworm baby overnight." ”

Zhu Huaijing felt that this was extremely humorous and witty, so he said: "You are really bullish." In a few days, the mulberry leaves will not be eaten by silkworms? You'd better catch this silkworm quickly. I said that if you really become everyone, today's words may become an allusion, just like the finishing touch. ”

After joking for a while, Zhu Huaijing said that he met a boy in the forest who made a puzzle with dead leaves. I was afraid that Li Mingxi would say that he didn't have knowledge, so he just said it casually. Li Mingxi said: "You must be talking about Xiang Kefu." This is a geek, I taught him. If you want to say crazy, he is the real crazy. You don't talk about dead leaves, anything in his hands, he can make it shine. I just don't want to paint, and I always run in the field all day long. The head of the school didn't like him and wanted to expel him several times. ”

Li Mingxi asked whether he took the painting to frame it, or if Zhu Huaijing sent it to frame it himself. Zhu Huaijing was afraid that the time would be delayed for too long, so he said I'll go find a place. Li Mingxi took a newspaper and wrapped up the painting. Zhu Huaijing watched Li Mingxi's movements be hasty, for fear of damaging the painting. It was a little dark, and Zhu Huaijing remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, and he was suddenly hungry, so he invited Li Mingxi to find a store outside, and the two drank a few glasses.

It was late when Zhu Huaijing returned home, and Xiangmei had already gone to bed. Zhu Huaijing didn't come back because of something, so he said hello from different homes. This is a habit he has developed since he worked in the county, and Xiangmei has long stopped taking it seriously. At the beginning, the phone in the county was not very convenient, and he was a person who didn't know where to eat lunch while eating breakfast, so he simply asked his family not to wait for him. In this way, he was freer and less restrained.

Zhu Huaijing washed it hastily and came to sleep. Xiangmei said: "It's no wonder today, there are always phone calls, and when I answer it, I don't listen to anyone." ”

Zhu Huaijing understood eight or nine points in his heart, but said: "Someone must have made the wrong call." This happens all the time. He wanted to get out of bed and hang up the phone for Yuqin, but Xiangmei was unbuttoning his clothes, so it was hard to say anything.

Xiangmei leaned over and pillowed on his shoulder, saying, "You've been so busy these days, aren't you?" Be careful! ”

"What's the busy? Isn't it just that every day there will be a meeting here? It's just boring, but not so tired. Zhu Huaijing said perfunctorily.
