Chapter 5: Reunion
Sitting on the train to Guangzhou was a kind of torment for Chen Lu.
In the crowded carriage, the adults spoke noisily and the children cried and shouted, making it impossible for her to calm down. The salesman's frequent lines - "beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, and eight-treasure porridge" made her even more restless.
The small space of the carriage was filled with the smell of fruit, snacks, instant noodles, burnt cigarettes, sweaty feet with shoes off, and the smell of nondescript perfume mixed with armpit odor.
Chen Lu's already not very beautiful mood became worse and worse under the flood of these miscellaneous smells.
As a result, she had no appetite to eat, no energy to answer the phone, and no interest in texting back during the 18-hour drive. Fortunately, after receiving several calls and text messages from Fei Guang, the mobile phone was turned off when it ran out of power, so that she no longer had the guilt of refusing to answer and refuse.
After feeling guilty, she put on earplugs and an eye patch and forced herself into a coma.
On the other end of the phone, Fei Guang, who returned to his home in the countryside, experienced anxiety, impatience, and a faint pain in his heart for Chen Lu's sudden indifference after getting on the train.
However, he quickly adjusted himself, because there was still an important matter at home waiting for him to deal with, and he really couldn't spare more time to "grow up with children......
……
In the past, when she came to Guangzhou, she had made Chen Lu feel "returned" many times, and she had regarded this metropolis as her "another home".
But this time, Chen Lu's feeling of "going home" no longer exists, perhaps because she left her "heart" on Fei Guang, and she came back only as a "person".
In Guangzhou, the fast pace of "classes from day to evening, and work from night to midnight" makes Chen Lu's life seem full enough, but it still can't fill the emptiness in her heart.
Although, since getting off the train and resuming contact with Fei Guang, the daily mobile phone calls between the two can make Chen Lu's mood a little better.
But, just a little. The "invisible, intangible" voice of the lover's telecommunication in the mobile phone was not enough for her to drive away all loneliness.
In those days, Chen Lu's mentality was a little abnormal, and he could even be called nervous.
At school, when she heard other girls mention the words "male god" and "boyfriend", her mind was full of Fei Guang.
In the company, when she saw her colleagues showing affection, her eyes were full of sourness.
On the street, when she sees couples holding hands or moving intimately, her heart is full of disgust.
At that time, in addition to Chen Lu's abnormal mentality, his body also seemed to be "poisoned", a "poison" called acacia-
During class, she was absent-minded.
When she was working, she couldn't give up.
When eating, she was tasteless.
While sleeping, she tosses and turns.
In less than a month after being "poisoned", her original weight of 54 kilograms became a pitiful 45, and she lost 9 kilograms!
Cang Tian probably didn't like to see the "goddess" of "people thinner than yellow flowers", so he finally made the next arrangements.
……
Fei Guang was arranged to come to Guangzhou on January 19, 2011, the 27th day of separation from Chen Lu.
When they met again, Chen Lu threw herself directly into his arms, hugged him frantically, slapped him willfully, and kissed him indiscriminately.
During the kiss, Chen Lu no longer cared when she saw the idlers pointing at her on the street.
"Go to her uncle's dignified, go to his uncle's reserve!" She thought to herself.
When he kissed Chen Lu again, Fei Guang was so excited that his heart was beating at a high speed, as if it was about to pop out of his chest. Although it was only a reunion after just over 20 days of separation, it made him feel that they had been separated for centuries.
After the two hugged wildly and kissed indiscriminately, Chen Lu shifted the focus to the willful slapping again. She slapped and complained: "Since you can come to Guangzhou, why ...... Only now?"
Hearing Chen Lu's complaining question, Fei Guang chose to remain silent after being entangled in his heart for a while. There is another hidden reason for dwelling on silence, not because of the use of the routine "silence is better than sound at the moment".
But Chen Lu, who didn't know much about the secret at that time, regarded silence as "silence is better than sound", so in this silent embrace, she cried a lot - there was moving, excitement, and heartbeat in her tears......
……
After crying to the end of the "fun", Chen Lu took Fei Guang away from the noisy street and came to a secluded alley, at the end of the alley, there was the rental house where she lived.
When Fei Guang held hands again in the flow of people, Chen Lu felt more comfortable and "sour" than when he held hands for the first time. It's like the feeling of a gentle electric shock - the body is numb, the nerves are excited, and the walk is fluttering!
In the alley, I don't know whose stereo came from a song, Liu Xijun's "I'm Happy", which became the background song for them to walk hand in hand.
Maybe he was dizzy by Fei Guangning, it was a sad and bitter melody, but he heard joy and sweetness in Chen Lu's ears.
Do it, what don't you dare to do
What are you afraid of, believe me I don't care
Even if you're gone
falls, even if my heart from the 16th floor
Drop down to Block B on the B1st floor
I won't be sad either, don't underestimate me
What's not going to survive, it's a big deal to sing a song
Although it is a sad song, the voice is a little trembling
It's also much better than you, and I'm still very happy
I won't be sad, don't underestimate me
What can't survive, burn the letter you wrote
Forget your favorite songs and tie my eyes
I can't shed tears, but I'm still happy
……
When the two returned to the rental house where Chen Lu lived, it was almost dusk.
Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, Fei Guang made some observations in this hut, and after looking at it, he felt incredible......
It's a neat one-bedroom apartment.
In the living room, some books and drawing paper are piled up in an orderly manner on the desk, and the homemade pen holder is filled with all kinds of paintbrushes.
Under the window to the left of the desk is a small but delicate dresser. On the countertop, vanity tools and various bottles and cans of cosmetics, skin care products, perfumes, essential oils, etc., are well placed.
To the left of the dresser, there is an easel with an unfinished oil painting sandwiched between it.
On the wall to the left of the easel, there are some finished products, including sketches of geometric drawings, as well as watercolor paintings of flowers, birds, and landscapes.
In the southwest corner of the living room, there is a separate bathroom, and further west of the bathroom, there is a transparent sliding door.
Outside the sliding door, there is a balcony for drying clothes, and on the balcony, there are two pots of flowers and plants that cannot be named.
On the low table under the flowers and plants, there are induction cookers, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, etc., like a "small kitchen".
The "kitchenette", although a little close to the bathroom, has no sense of disobedience. Because, the two windproof doors between them alone are enough to block everything, not to mention that the bathroom is so clean and smellless.
To the east of the living room is a bedroom, with a half-open corner door that allows you to peek into the beautiful futon on the bed.
These wonderful pictures are combined with the fresh and pleasant fragrance in the house, which perfectly shows Fei Guang warmth and elegance.
What made Fei Guang unbelievable was not the warmth and elegance, but the déjà vu of this scene, as if he had already been here in an old dream, and there was an inexplicable familiarity.
After this kind of unbelievable thinking, Fei Guang confirmed it in his heart, confirmed his choice, and confirmed that he and Chen Lu must have some kind of inseparable relationship in the dark.
"Let's take a shower first, and change into single clothes!" Chen Lu interrupted Fei Guang's thoughts in a family-like tone.
"Ah...... This ...... "Fei Guang has received this kind of treatment, of course he is speechless, of course his heart is pounding, of course he can't move."
"Ahhhh......hh
"It's so hot in Guangzhou, and you wear so much, don't you panic?"
Chen Lu's two words stopped Fei Guang's heartbeat, thumping and thinking.
After being arranged by Chen Lu into the bathroom with a water heater, Fei Guang took a bath, washed his hair, changed his clothes, brushed his teeth, and shaved his beard before he could be considered tidy.
After cleaning up, the handsome was too obvious, and when she came out of the bathroom, Chen Lu took the initiative to hug and kiss her again.
When he hugged Chen Lu and enjoyed the kiss, Fei Guang's heart beat at a high speed again, as if it was beating at a higher speed than when they just met again, and they were about to suffocate.
Because, after taking off the coat, the shirt was so thin that his hand could easily feel the warmth around her waist......
Heaven always seems to like to spoil the atmosphere, and just as they are enjoying the warmth, they suddenly arrange a hurried doorbell.
Hearing the doorbell, Chen Lu broke free from Fei Guang's arms and forcibly ended the unfinished warmth. After she calmed down, as soon as she opened the door, Chen Yu walked in in a hurry.
"Brother-in-law, you're finally here."
"If you don't come again, my sister's lovesickness is going to be terminally ill!"
"Look, look, this ...... It's haggard for Yixiao~"
Entering the door, after seeing Fei Guang, Chen Yu first teased.
"Uh......"
Fei Guang has never been joked like this, and he is embarrassed for a while, and he doesn't know how to answer.
"I'm saying! It's hard to witness a love, how can God bear to just let me see a beginning......" Chen Yu pouted and continued, "My brother-in-law is in my hometown, I must have been delayed because of something, until now...... just came. ”
"Well, there is...... There is a little thing...... "Fei Guang's nervousness came again.
"Let's talk about it, save someone from being suspicious!" After Chen Yu finished speaking, he glanced at his sister Chen Lu next to him.
When those mischievous eyes glanced at her, Chen Lu was on the phone, and she took leave from her work unit on the night shift.
"Cause...... Because the work didn't ...... didn't say anything, delayed the time......" Fei Guang's nervousness turned into a weak heart.
The heart is weak because Fei Guang told a lie.
Fei Guang, who was originally sincere, concealed it in front of Chen Lu, but he didn't dare to tell the truth about his family these days.
Although Chen Lu is already the nominal fiancée after the engagement, in this world full of uncertainties, Fei Guang still chooses to be cautious.
conceals it because, if you want to understand the reason for this truth, you must mention some bad records about Fei Guang's mother, Ye Zi.
Cautious because in an ordinary rural family where the mother-in-law plays an important role, some of the bad records of the leaves are deadly. Because of her bad record, Fei Guang was divorced by three budget-conscious mothers-in-law.
Yes, before Fei Guang got acquainted with Chen Lu, he had three engaged fiancées.
Although Fei Guang even touched the three girls and was divorced, they were all regarded as his nominal ex-fiancées.
