Chapter 21: Waiting for You to Say You Love Me (1)
Time passed slowly.
I was lying on a recliner on the balcony reading a book, one of which was made into a bookshelf, and the other was a glass-clad wall, with green plants and shiny water droplets. The Ling River is not far away, and there is no water flow in the dark night, only a slender flash of colored light.
Just after eleven o'clock, there was a knock at the door, and I listened attentively, but I did not move the book in my hand, and I liked it, and listened to him come from room to room, and silently enjoyed the joy of being found, and he, as he said, knew that I must wait in a certain corner.
"Hey." The bedroom light wasn't on, and he walked straight up and leaned against the door frame, and I knew he was at least slightly drunk.
"Coming back?" I put the book aside: "The water is hot, do you want to take a shower?" "
"Come here, talk to me."
I was obediently dragged by him: "What do you say? "
Qi Xiang lifted my curls and kissed me slowly, I said, "Hey, hey, you're going to tell me this?" He chuckled in a muffled voice, and did not move, but pulled my long hair together, leaned down in it, and took a deep breath, and then he let go of me:
"I'm going to take a shower."
I turned to help him untie his tie, and he blocked my hand: "No, I smell like a wine table all over me now." "
"Ha, you're afraid I'll dislike you."
"I hate it myself." He said, "Wait for me for a while." "
Actually, I like the way he can't control himself, I wash my face in the small bathroom in the bedroom, rubbing the cleanser on my cheeks to create a rich lather, and confessing to myself.
I now perm my curls, left to about a little waist up the length of the length, I walk two streets to the unit every morning, the first thing I do when I go to the office is to bring boiling water, flush myself with a pot of pu'er or jasmine, sit for a day after work, go home to cook, now my steamed small yellow croaker and sweet and sour pork ribs are a must.
The marriage has lasted for more than two years, and it's strange that we have been in love for a long time before marriage, and sometimes I still think he is unpredictable and even a little mysterious. It's just that no matter how calm and self-controlled a person is, it is impossible to take it everywhere in his private time, so when he is tired, when he is weak, when he is confused, I have met them all after marriage.
But disillusionment didn't follow, and I became more and more fond of him and more attached to him.
A woman is such an animal, her feelings are boxes of indefinite sizes, she can fit anything as long as she is empty, he is as strong as a god, then she admires and rejoices, but once he returns to the world, she will never spare her love.
What about men, aren't men like that? I dab the toner onto my skin. Outside, Qi Xiang had finished bathing, and he went back to his room.
There was only a small light on all around, and I climbed up from the end of the bed, and he leaned there, looking at me, his hair wet, like a longing little boy, and I leaned over and kissed him like a lioness or a leopard or something. He responded eagerly, his hands gradually moving to my lower back, pushing down slightly, gently grinding, adjusting, and penetrating a little bit.
You can't be happy at the beginning, you always have to be in pain first, but it will soon pass, and as for how to be happy afterwards, you know it beforehand, but you still be surprised and frightened every time, which you can't perceive before, you can't replicate afterwards, only the process of understanding, the process of repeating over and over again, and finally, at the end of the sharp trembling.
At the critical moment, I pulled out, and my lower abdomen was warm. He sat down, waited for his breath to calm down a bit, sorted it with a tissue, and then lay down and hugged me. After a while, he spoke, "What are you thinking with your eyes open?" "
"I'm thinking, it's okay, I just left last Sunday."
"It's always right to be careful." He reached out and stroked my lower abdomen: "You still want to scare me again?" "
He was referring to the end of the summer of the previous year, when I was still working in a law firm, half a newcomer, and I had to run on the front line of everything, a small debt lawsuit of a company, 300,000 yuan, charged at 5 percent, and the debtor was a township enterprise far away, and the jurisdiction belonged to the local judicial authority, and no one in the law firm wanted to do it. When I got home, I told my mother, and my mother said Oh, fifteen thousand, I'll give it to you, why do you run so far and work so hard, don't pick it up.
My dad does her job, that's not what he said, today is a small amount of money collection, and if he does a good job, he may hire Xiao Ning as a legal adviser, and the situation is opened step by step, isn't it?
Qi Xiang didn't say a word at the time, my mother turned her head to ask for help, Xiao Qi, you can talk about it. He looked at my eager eyes, then turned back and smiled at my mom and said, look, she's so old, you let her make her own decisions.
There is no suspense in the lawsuit, the official seal of the legal person on the contract is there, and the local court has not engaged in obvious local protection, and the judgment is won here, but when the execution period expires, I rushed to the local area again, and found that the implementation is really a big and difficult problem, please ask the court to assist, once or twice, people are polite, and then two more times, and the good face is gone.
I called Qi Xiang at the guest house at night, and I was aggrieved and tearful as I talked, he didn't have any surprise over there, and he didn't say anything nonsense like I already knew, so he said that you should come back first, and you should eat a trench and grow wise.
When he said this, I was stubborn and came up, wiped away my tears, and went out again the next morning. On this day, it rained heavily in the county, the county's drainage system was not good, the taxi went out halfway through, I got out of the car and walked to the street where the company was located, and found that the whole street was almost flooded.
Later, I told people that in idol dramas, the heroine often yells to inspire herself when she encounters something wrong, I feel very hypocritical and false when I watch it, who is so big and will act as if it is exaggerated, I didn't expect it to happen to me, there is nothing more real. That day, I was holding my bag in one hand and an umbrella in the other, talking loudly to myself and cheering myself up.
It's okay, it's almost there, less than a hundred meters, come on, come on, it's almost there, it's almost there, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, what is this, how cool is this.
Less than twenty meters from the factory gate, I screamed. There was a wellhead, I don't know whether it was always vacant or was temporarily taken away for sewage, I stepped on the air through the surging flood, instantly fell backwards, the sky swirled, choked into a mouthful of sewage, panicked, fortunately the water was buoyant, and the depth was not high, I was able to flutter twice and stand up again.
I felt my bag back in the water, my whole body was drenched, even my hair was dripping, and at that moment I really wanted to howl, but then it suddenly occurred to me that the person who loved me was not around, and it was useless to cry out, it was a waste of energy, I sobbed twice, and trekked again. Okay Zhuang Ning, okay, it's okay now, go steady, step by step, it's coming soon, really, go slowly, don't rush, okay, it's not here.
When I appeared at the gate covered in mud, several security guards had already run out in panic and stood there, shouting from afar, "Are you okay?" I saw you fall down from afar, and I want to help you, but the water is too big, so you slow down.
It's okay, I smile bitterly at them, I'll find your general manager.
In the general manager's office, the middle-aged entrepreneur looked at me suspiciously, Lawyer Zhuang, tell me honestly, how much can you get for this arrears recovery?
I thought about it, and according to the truth, fifteen thousand.
He looked at the basically scrapped mobile phone parts I spread on his table, your machine, the same as my daughter's, the current market price is more than 4,000, and there are round-trip transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, do you want to report? Can you get it?
I said, "Leader, if you keep talking, I'll have to cry with you." It's not an account, it's not like that, I just want to do it well, and then I'll talk about it well.
He was silent for a long time, Lawyer Zhuang, let's do it, I won't make it difficult for you, I'll give you 150,000, no more, otherwise the news will spread, and my factory will be empty for debt collection.
I bargained with him, and with great difficulty, I got two hundred and thirty-five thousand. He couldn't cry or laugh, and joked with me all over the world, saying that there are still bits and pieces, you little girl is really sharp. Before leaving, he said, leave me a business card, maybe we can help each other in the future.
I'm happy to go out, go to the communication room to borrow a phone call, and enjoy it together, you know? I'm going to get the money, haha, awesome, right? I'm going back to the hotel, I'm ......
Before I could say the rest of the sentence, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen, and I squatted on the ground holding the microphone.
I started to think it was menstrual cramps.
The consequences were much more serious than I thought, when I opened my eyes and found Qi Xiang coming, his eyes were red when I cried.
The sad and dead scenes in the TV novels didn't happen to me, I just couldn't do it at the time, and I didn't have any expectations for it in advance, I only knew that I was afraid and worried, and as for the sadness, regret and faint sadness, it was all later.
I don't know, I said weakly, I really don't know, how did it happen.
You idiot. He hatefully and almost gritted his teeth and said, I will take care of you in everything in the future, and I don't want to let you anymore.
I haven't been thorough when I returned to Lingcheng, my mother asked a senior obstetrician and gynecologist to see me, she prescribed me countless Chinese medicines, and suggested that we should not have the idea of having children again within two years.
My mother and Qi Xiang's mother were so frightened that their souls were gone, and they finally came to talk to me in person, Xiao Ning, you see, Xiao Qi is so busy, you are also busy, how can this family be maintained? You still want children in the future, right? Then they told me that for my sake, Prosecutor Qi pulled down his old face and asked someone to help me find a vacant position in the municipal legal committee, sitting in the office, working from 9 to 5.
Later, both mothers started crying, and finally I cried too. They couldn't force each other harder, so they left together, and the two cups of tea on the table gradually dispersed the heat. When I got home, I sat alone at the table, motionless. He didn't have time to put his bag and hugged me: "What's wrong?" Well, there's me. "
With tears in my eyes, I reached out to touch his cheek, then turned to hug him back. He was so good, he loved me so much, he tolerated me, what about me, I used to be so bad to him.
"Qi Xiang, I think, I want to change jobs."
The general manager really called me later, saying that there was a business introduction, saying that he had promised the other party, this little lawyer, don't dare to talk too much about anything else, the sense of responsibility is absolutely strong, and he also wanted to say - I was sitting cross-legged on the yoga mat, facing a good sunset, gently interrupted him, sorry leader, I am no longer a lawyer.
"That scared the hell out of you?" I arched my shoulder: "Turn off the lights." "
"What do you say?" He turned on the lamp, pillowed on his bent right arm, and didn't know where to look in the dark, and his tone was slightly teasing: "I was almost scared to death." "
"Huh?" I laughed, "I can prove it, no." "
He patted me: "I'm really getting better at talking." "
"But I've heard that men are often eager to kill themselves outside the delivery room, is that an exaggeration?"
"Yes."
"Really? If it were me, I wouldn't want you to go. "
"That's a saying, have you ever seen anyone do that? It's too ruthless. "
"Then I'll look ugly, too." I said, "If it hurts, I'll scold you hard." "
"Scolding and scolding can't hurt your muscles and bones." He turned to look at me, frowning, "But are you looking a little far?" "
I could see at a glance that he wasn't really hurting his head, I didn't speak, he turned around and hugged me again: "Want to give me a baby?" "
"Go."
"Discuss the problem with you seriously and have a proper attitude." He really asked as seriously, "Is your body ready?" "
I sighed, "Two years are almost up. "
"Psychologically?" "I don't want you to be depressed after giving birth," he said. "
"Then you can find a way to keep me from being depressed."
He laughed and said, "That's smart." "
