Siping is gone.

Although Long Xiaoyu no longer loves her, this separation still gave him unexpected disappointment. On his way back to the company, his mind repeatedly jumped out of the impression he had when he first met Siping on the river leading from Shiqiao Town to Shaoxing City two years ago. He carried their mother and daughter back to the city in a canopy boat, Siping wore two thick black pigtails, wore a fiery red sweater, and two big black and white eyes, looking at him fixedly. It was a scene he will never forget.

It was difficult for him to imagine that Siping and Siping, who bargained with him like a businessman with a straight face today, and Siping, who became extremely vicious when bargaining, as a person. Even though he didn't love her anymore, he didn't want the girl he loved to be this virtuous.

Long Xiaoyu's mentality, according to Han Ding's analysis, is due to the fact that he and Siping are not on the same road in the first place. They are from the same township, the same age, and from the same humble background, but they are not from the same path. Siping is simple-minded, pampered by her mother since she was a child, centered on herself in everything, and is often beaten and scolded by her drunken father, and raised a violent and rebellious personality. Long Xiaoyu grew up in the collective of the rural opera troupe since he was a child, and was influenced by the rules of master and apprentice in the pear orchard, and knew how to respect his predecessors and put others before himself; Influenced by his father, he repaid his kindness to others and paid more attention to his feelings. He doesn't love Siping anymore, but he still treats her as a sister emotionally, so he can't stand Siping's becoming this virtue.

In fact, Siping also had no ruthlessness towards Long Xiaoyu, which was repeatedly confirmed in Han Ding's investigation later. In the later investigation, Han Ding also unexpectedly found that the relationship between Zhu Siping and Nobita was also somewhat strange, and all kinds of signs of fragmentation made Han Ding doubt their relationship. Judging from the phenomenon, Siping has not found any serious job since she came to Pingling from her hometown, and she basically lives on Nobita, in other words, she is raised by Nobita. Nobita is willing to support a girl, especially a girl like Siping, why? Han Ding had asked Long Xiaoyu this question bluntly. Long Xiaoyu admitted that Siping had told him that Nobita meant that to her. Siping's purpose in telling Long Xiaoyu what Nobita meant to her is not only to show off, but also to confess, and at the same time, it also has the effect of stimulating Long Xiaoyu a little - don't look at you being cold to me now, there are many people chasing me, even characters like Nobita are chasing me. But every time she mentioned Nobita to Long Xiaoyu, she had to confess: "I didn't let Nobita get it, because I only have you in my heart." ”

Nobita is a celebrity among the Shaoxing people in Pingling, a powerful and capable person. In the circle of Shaoxing people, which girl makes Nobita fall in love is also a glory. Long Xiaoyu knew that Siping relied on Nobita, she spent his money, ate with him, and called Nobita "brother...... But he also knows that Siping doesn't like Nobita, she and Nobita are together for survival, in addition to eating and drinking, they can also be protected from being bullied by others, and no one dares to make up their minds anymore when they become Nobita's "sister". The only thing Long Xiaoyu doesn't know is whether Siping is really as protective as jade to Nobita, and he has never been here once.

On the night when he and Siping broke up, Long Xiaoyu had insomnia all night, and two women he loved appeared in his mind chaotically. Of course, it's more about Luo Jingjing. Is Luo Jingjing really angry? Do you really ignore him anymore? He thought of his father and mother again from Luo Jingjing. In the past two years, whenever sadness strikes, his father's face, the expression he has when he talks to him, has always come out of Long Xiaoyu's mind. And the mother. The impression of his mother is not deep, and his mother has become a symbol of maternal love in his heart, exuding a fixed and unchanging brilliance. That night, he thought about his parents, his long-lost home, the displacement of the past two years, and the encounter and relationship with Luo Jingjing...... His last thoughts became shattered the moment he was rejected by Luo Jingjing. At this moment, he was suddenly afraid of being alone, and he even shed a few tears for his loneliness, and the tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes in the dark, leaving two cold marks. This cold feeling finally made him understand what he wanted most: a fixed job, a future home, and someone who could truly love him like his father.

Long Xiaoyu confessed to Han Ding that his fragility, the fragility in the depths of his soul was in huge contrast with his healthy and sunny appearance. He had a very pitiful expression on Han Ding when he said that Luo Jingjing turned him away, and he said that he was afraid that Luo Jingjing would not love him anymore, and he was very scared.

In the days when Luo Jingjing ignored him, Long Xiaoyu lived in a panic every day, always pale and in a trance when he went to work, and often didn't say anything when talking to people. Director Wang asked him with concern if he was sick, and he said no, no, and prevaricated. In those days, in addition to his day-to-day work, he also had to keep an eye out for the opportunity to get a budget for the expansion project. The project bid and budget were stored in the project preparation office, which was located in the office area of the pharmaceutical factory, and he once found an excuse to go there, and also entered the office room of Director Ma, where a set of filing cabinets and an iron cabinet with a secret lock were placed very impressively. During the less than five-minute conversation between him and Director Ma, there were several groups of people coming and going, and there was no chance for him to get close to the cabinet.

But Siping was in a hurry, as if urging her life, not only did she call constantly, but her tone was the same as when she met a few days ago, soft and hard, slow and urgent, and sometimes a few straight and explicit threats. Long Xiaoyu suppressed the disgust in his heart, and patiently explained to her that the materials were not in his hand, they were in the preparation office, and he could not take them casually if he wanted to. Siping fell silent during his last explanation, and she was silent for a long time, and suddenly said in an unusually short voice in a choked voice:

"I love you Xiao Yu, it's really hard for you."

Then, the phone hung up.

When Siping repeatedly urged and threatened, he really wanted to yell on the phone: "I'm not doing it!" Retaliate as much as you want! But Siping's choked voice made his heart soften again. He knew that Siping couldn't get this thing, and he couldn't pay it on Nobita's side, and when he broke up with Siping, he was even more worried about her lack of food and clothing. So, after hanging up the phone, he decided to get it done for her as soon as possible.

This day was the weekend, and when he was about to get off work in the evening, Luo Baochun personally called Long Xiaoyu and told Long Xiaoyu that he planned to go to Yunqing Mountain in Fujian to recuperate for a few days, and instructed him to go to the finance department to get some cash, bring all the documents that he had not read in the past two days, and fly to Fujian with him tomorrow morning. The ticket to Fujian Director Wang has already been completed, and Long Xiaoyu only needs to prepare a car to the airport. He put down the phone, hurriedly informed the driver, went to the finance department to withdraw the money, and then went back to the office to pack up the papers. As he was packing up his papers, he suddenly thought of something, and the movements of his hands gradually slowed down, and he hesitated again and again, and finally grabbed the phone on the table.

He called the preparatory office of the expansion project, and when the phone was connected, he said that I was looking for Director Ma.

The person who answered the phone was a woman, saying that Director Ma had gone to the Environmental Protection Bureau and was not there.

Long Xiaoyu's tone at this moment was still hesitant, which made people sound a little lacking in confidence, and he even stammered a little before saying, "Uh...... I am from the chairman's office, I am Long Xiaoyu, and the chairman wants to take a look at the bid documents for the expansion project, as well as the project budget made by the supervision company. Is the budget in your place or in the finance department? The woman said, "What about us, is it the chairman who wants to see it?" Okay, I'll tell Director Ma as soon as I get to work tomorrow. Director Ma will not rest tomorrow. ”

Long Xiaoyu said: "The chairman will leave early tomorrow morning, can you send it over today?" ”

The woman said: "Oh, the documents at the bottom of the bid are all in the safe, the key is in Director Ma's hand, he probably won't come back today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get it out today." Does the chairman have to ask for it today? Do you want us to call Director Ma? ”

The moment Long Xiaoyu was about to open his mouth, he suddenly became timid, and his breath was already in his throat, but he somehow let it out, and even his voice was dispersed. He said, "Ah, ah, no, let's talk about it." He hung up the phone.

He didn't dare to alarm Director Ma, Director Ma and the chairman often had a hotline contact, in case he called Luo Baochun directly to send the materials over, wouldn't there be an accident. Long Xiaoyu obviously couldn't wait for Director Ma to go to work the next day, he had to get up at six o'clock the next morning, and at seven o'clock he had to park the car at the gate of the Yellow Crane Lake villa outside the city with the driver Lao Zhao, so as to pick up the chairman Luo Baochun and go to the airport together.

This is the first time that Long Xiaoyu has been ordered to accompany Luo Baochun to go far away, and he is to accompany him on vacation, which is of course a great encouragement for him. This seems to indicate that Luo Baochun's trust in him has reached a particularly close level. He got up early, brought all the things he should have brought, and before seven o'clock, he parked the car at the gate of the Yellow Crane Lake Villa and waited for Luo Baochun to come out.

Ten minutes later, Luo Baochun came out. Long Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised to see that the person who walked out of the villa with him was his daughter Luo Jingjing. He was pleasantly surprised to see that Luo Jingjing, like her father, carried the luggage for the trip. He excitedly placed the two pieces of luggage in the trunk of the car with the driver Lao Zhao, and after getting into the car, he turned around and glanced at Luo Jingjing in the back seat, Luo Jingjing immediately turned his face away and looked out the window. Long Xiaoyu turned to greet Luo Baochun.

"Good morning, Chairman."

Luo Baochun sighed, and then instructed the driver Lao Zhao: "Let's drive." ”

The car started and arrived at the airport half an hour later. The driver drove the car back. Long Xiaoyu carried one of his backpacks on his back, dragged Luo Baochun's suitcase with rollers in his hand, and stretched out his other hand to take over the suitcase dragged by Luo Jingjing, but Luo Jingjing dodged away and coldly dragged his suitcase towards the passenger entrance. Luo Baochun smiled and said to Long Xiaoyu, who looked embarrassed:

"You tell her to mention it herself, she's not too young, she will inevitably go out in the future, so she has to exercise early."

They entered the airport, and while waiting for the plane, Luo Baochun chattered with his daughter with a kind face, and Long Xiaoyu sat opposite them, quietly without saying a word. He could notice that Luo Jingjing was absent-minded about her father's nagging, and occasionally glanced at him secretly, although he always avoided looking at him, but the seemingly unintentional glances were clearly deliberate, and Long Xiaoyu could feel it.

Soon, they checked in and boarded the plane, which was a small plane with two seats in a row. Naturally, Luo Jingjing and her father sat together, and Long Xiaoyu sat behind them. What made Long Xiaoyu happy was that when she sat down and put her luggage in the overhead suitor, Luo Jingjing's box was put on by him, she couldn't lift the box for a long time, Long Xiaoyu hurriedly came over to help, the box was deadlocked in mid-air, so it was difficult to refuse this favor. After Long Xiaoyu helped her put the box away, Luo Jingjing's expression was a little embarrassed, and she habitually wanted to say thank you, but she didn't say it; wanted to smile at Long Xiaoyu, just grinned the corners of his mouth, and retracted it, his face was still flat. Long Xiaoyu didn't know if she was acting or if she was really angry. But he thought that Luo Jingjing must have known that she and her father had him with him on this vacation. If she really couldn't forgive him, would she agree with her father to bring him?

The two-hour flight was quickly over, and as soon as they stepped out of Fujian's Zhangyan airport, they felt a hot breeze blowing on their faces – the air here was as humid as summer. They hired a taxi to drive in the direction of Yunqing Mountain. Luo Baochun seems to be a frequent visitor here, with a look of familiarity with the road, Luo Jingjing also seems to have been here, and the topic of the father and daughter on the road is nothing more than how the temperature and accommodation on the mountain are......

Although Long Xiaoyu has been to this place in Yunqing Mountain, he has heard of it. When he was in college in Shaoxing, he heard a student from Zhangyan boast about their Yunqing victory in the class, but Long Xiaoyu didn't pay attention to where the victory was. The impression is that it is an undeveloped primeval forest, which is not much different from Shennongjia in Hubei. At this time, when I really entered this mountain, I found that this place is actually very close to the city, and its primitive atmosphere may be due to its seclusion. Although the road into the mountain is very formal, and it can even be called exquisite, there are no traces of people along the way, and not even a single farmer herding cattle is seen. When the car tossed and turned on the mountain road for an hour, they finally saw the destination of the trip, a pine hut built on the slope, Long Xiaoyu realized that this is obviously a resort that has been carefully built and deeply developed, and the artificial architecture and mountain landscape complement each other perfectly, and the combination is just right. Long Xiaoyu had never been to such a quiet and beautiful place in his life.

That wooden house is the Yunqingshan Tourist Resort mentioned on Luo Baochun Road, and every pine cottage in that resort is a fully functional single-family villa. After settling into a wooden house, they went to the resort's game restaurant for lunch. After the meal, Luo Baochun's father and daughter went back to the wooden house to rest, and Long Xiaoyu went to the shop next to the restaurant to buy some chicken, fish, meat dishes and seasonings. Their cabin has three bedrooms and a living room, as well as a large kitchen with pots and pans. Luo Baochun casually asked Long Xiaoyu on the road if he could cook, and when it came to cooking, Long Xiaoyu glanced at Luo Jingjing and said yes, which made Luo Baochun couldn't help but be surprised: "You are really good, use you as a secretary, and even the bodyguards and cooks are invited." Then he said to Luo Jingjing in a tone of soliciting opinions: "Jingjing, then let's cook and eat by ourselves in the next few days, how about trying Xiao Yu's craftsmanship?" Long Xiaoyu looked at Luo Jingjing and said, "Who knows if Jingjing can get used to it." Luo Jingjing replied and said: "I hate men who love to cook the most, men are not men and women." Luo Baochun smiled and encouraged Long Xiaoyu: "Cooking is also a survival skill, right?" Do a good job, show us a hand! ”

So, Long Xiaoyu carried all kinds of food from the store back to their wooden house. As soon as I entered the house, I saw Luo Jingjing dressed in a short dress, carrying a small Kun-style back pocket and tying her shoes, as if she was going out. Long Xiaoyu asked, "Are you going out?" Luo Jingjing sighed and didn't answer much. Long Xiaoyu stubbornly asked again: "Where are you going?" Luo Jingjing said: "Go to the mountains." Long Xiaoyu asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?" Before Luo Jingjing could answer, Luo Baochun came out of the bedroom and said to his daughter: "You can't go out alone, there are deep mountains and dense forests all around, in case you get lost or run into wild beasts." Luo Baochun said to Long Xiaoyu in an ordered tone again: "Xiaoyu, you accompany her, remember the way, don't go far." ”

Long Xiaoyu immediately responded, and quickly ran into the kitchen to put down the things he had purchased. Before he left the kitchen, he heard Luo Jingjing's voice in the living room resisting his father: "I don't want him to accompany me, I want to go around by myself, I don't want him to follow me." Long Xiaoyu knew in his heart that Luo Jingjing was deliberately telling him, but he still walked out of the kitchen, he stood at the door of the kitchen, and said, "Jingjing, your father is worried that something will happen to you, so I'll go with you." ”

Luo Jingjing didn't look at him and whispered, "I don't want to go with you." ”

Luo Baochun was a little unhappy when he saw that his daughter was so willful on the first day she came out, so she straightened up and said in a rough voice: "Then you don't want to go out, you can't go out alone!" ”

Luo Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red. Long Xiaoyu knew that she was because her father reprimanded her in front of him, which made her a little unable to get off the stage. She glared at her father for a long time, then walked into her bedroom without saying a word, and slammed the door shut. Long Xiaoyu looked at Luo Baochun, Luo Baochun said, "Don't pay attention to her, I don't understand how she became like this now." ”

After Luo Baochun finished speaking, he also went back to his room.

Only Long Xiaoyu was left in the living room.

Long Xiaoyu really didn't feel good in his heart.

Long Xiaoyu had been lying on the bed all afternoon, looking at the sky outside through a small window on the wooden wall. The sky was half grey and half red, with some fog. The mist was not only in the sky, but also seemed to permeate this hut and into Long Xiaoyu's heart. For a whole afternoon, Long Xiaoyu lay on the bed, listening to the movement in the living room, but there was no movement in the living room. At five o'clock in the evening, Long Xiaoyu got up and went to the kitchen to prepare the dinner for the evening. He seriously made two meat, two vegetarian dishes, four dishes, a soup, and a fruit plate, which was a mixture of pears, apples and oranges, which looked quite exquisite, and the rice was steamed just right. At dinner in the evening, Luo Baochun praised his craftsmanship greatly, saying that it was better than he imagined, much better. I also asked him where he learned this craft. Long Xiaoyu simply said that he learned from a master in the past drama troupe. He always paid attention to Luo Jingjing when he talked to Luo Baochun, and he found that Luo Jingjing only served a small half bowl of rice, and ate even less vegetables, she scribbled her head down and ate the little bit of rice in the bowl before getting up and leaving her seat and going back to her room. Luo Baochun frowned and asked her why she ate so little, and she didn't say anything, but she still slammed the door of the bedroom shut, so that Luo Baochun could only sigh to Long Xiaoyu: "My daughter, I have been spoiled since I was a child." However, she wasn't like this before, and if she wants to lose her temper, she is still very concerned about the scene when an outsider is present, even my old nanny is not like this in her. So, my friends, as well as the people in the company, all said that she was very sensible, and I don't know how she did it this time. But it's okay, it means that she doesn't treat you as an outsider anymore. Luo Baochun said this, Long Xiaoyu listened to this, and he didn't respond to it, and didn't say a word.

After dinner, they rested separately. No one even watched TV. Long Xiaoyu looked out from the window of his room, except for a few sparkling street lamps nearby, all around were surrounded by thick inky darkness. The night in Yunqing Mountain is really quiet. He couldn't sleep on such a quiet night, and he listened intently to the voices next door all night. Across the wall from him slept the girl he loved with all his heart, the girl who didn't know if he still loved him.

He reasoned repeatedly, and there seemed to be only one conclusion, that is: Luo Jingjing still loves him. If she doesn't love him anymore, why bother to come out together? Why bother to fight with him so willfully?
