Chapter 70: Lingering Love (4)
Hong Fang is straightforward and straightforward by nature, and because she drank a few more glasses of wine at dinner that day, she stared at Hua Nianping and said, "Tell me, what do you think of Lin Si'er's feelings for you now?" ”
Hua Nianping expected that Hong Fang would ask him this question sooner or later, and asked her rhetorically: "What do you think I should think?" ”
Hong Fang said: "Lin Si'er told me that she loves you as always!" ”
Hua Nianping glanced at Lin Si'er silently, toasted her with a large glass of wine, and did not speak.
Hong Fang continued to ask Hua Nianping: "I want you to answer directly in front of everyone, do you continue to love Lin Si'er in your heart, or don't you love her?" ”
Hua Nianping turned his face to Tao Hailiang and said: "The discipline supervision leaders in the province are sitting here, you see what Hong Fang said, can I answer it directly?" ”
Tao Hailiang didn't think that his identity would be used by Hua Nianping as a shield for Hong Fang's questioning of him, and he said that his wife was stupid enough to order a married man in public to confess his feelings to another married woman, which really made it difficult for others.
But he had never shown a conflict with his wife Hong Fang, so he had to raise his glass in embarrassment and say, "Drink!" Drink! ”
Hong Fang glared at Tao Hailiang and said, "Lieutenant Tao, you're giving me and the mud!" ”
Lin Si'er was worried that once Hong Fang used her temperament, she would not be angry with Hua Nianping, but she would take her husband Tao Hailiang out of anger, and hurriedly said to Hong Fang: "Loving someone is not used for sweet words, just put it on your lips and say it as the truth, I was also asked by you to be in a hurry." It's rare for us to get together, so let's have a few more drinks and don't get drunk and don't go home! ”
She said, and immediately took the glass in front of her and drank it down.
Hua Nianping was worried, if he wanted to stop Lin Si'er from getting drunk again tonight, it would probably be very difficult.
Sure enough, after a meal, Lin Si'er and Hong Fang began to stagger.
When they broke up at the elevator, Tao Hailiang said to Hua Nianping that he would pick him up and Lin Si'er tomorrow morning and go around the Shushan Natural Scenic Area not far from the provincial capital.
Hong Fang was drunk, patted Hua Nianping's cheek vigorously and said, "I'll hand Lin Si'er over to you tonight." You know what to do to soothe a woman's wounded heart! ”
Her voice was so loud that it was clearly heard by a few people standing not far away.
Among them stood Jiang Dengjie and Wei Shengli.
Hua Nianping helped Lin Si'er to the door of the guest room where she lived, and asked her if the room card was stuffed into her bag or in her pocket? Lin Si'er lowered her head and lay on his shoulder, grunting for a long time, but she didn't say it clearly.
Hua Nianping had no choice but to call a waitress who happened to be passing by and asked her to help open the door.
The waiter asked for the name of the person who registered in the room, found the room card, put Hua Nianping and Lin Si'er into the room, and closed the door casually.
All this, Jiang Dengjie, who was following him, hid in a dim corner and filmed the whole process with his mobile phone.
Hua Nianping helped Lin Si'er to lie down on the bed in the room, and poured a glass of boiling water on the bed table.
He brought a chair and sat down on the edge of her bed.
Lin Si'er fell asleep drunkly, maintaining the charming sleeping position that Hua Nianping was familiar with many years ago.
Her eyebrows are still thin and slender, her lips are still plump and soft, and her face and body still look unusually quiet and moving.
Hua Nianping's heart was hot, and he kept churning with various thoughts in his mind.
He couldn't help but continue to look at Lin Si'er carefully, and saw that her upright nose suddenly tightened slightly, suddenly stretched slightly, and her towering chest protruded from time to time as she breathed rose and fell; The long green silk cut into short hair just made her face, which seemed to have become thin over the years, and it looked like a lot of softness.
However, the corners of her mouth that were originally cheerful and upturned when she was young now leave the marks of being unhappy all day long, even in her sleep, it can remind people that she has always retained an emotional sadness in her heart.
Hua Nianping looked a little sad, he thought impulsively that if he could lean down and kiss Lin Si'er right now, maybe he would make her sleep sweeter. But he didn't have the courage.
He even hated his hypocrisy and ruthlessness.
Hua Nianping smoked two cigarettes in succession in distraught, and began to think about whether to return to his guest room immediately, or stay and wait for Lin Si'er to wake up.
As it gradually approached the end of the night, Hua Nian sat upright on the chair and felt sore, and did not change his position to sit on the side of Lin Si'er's bed for a while. He was worried that as soon as he touched the edge of the bed, he would fall asleep immediately, and he was even more worried that he would continue to look at Lin Si'er like this, and he couldn't help but think crankily for a while.
In the meantime, Lin Si'er woke up once, she drank a few sips of water, looked at Hua Nianping with indescribable eyes, sighed and fell asleep again.
Hua Nianping was panicked by Lin Si'er's eyes when she woke up, thinking that she might sleep until dawn again, so she turned off the light in the room and planned to leave.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Lin Si'er calling softly behind him, "Nianping!" ”,
Hua Nianping thought that she had something to do with him, so he turned around and walked back to Lin Si'er's bed, wanting to ask her what else she needed.
In the dark, Lin Si'er pulled Hua Nian to the bed, and threw herself into his arms and sobbed sadly.
Hua Nianping couldn't suppress his sadness, and tears burst out of his eyes.
He hugged Lin Si'er tightly, and waited for her crying to slowly subside before he sighed and said, "Si'er, I'm sorry!" You know, we can't! ”
Lin Si'er understood that Hua Nianping was talking about what "can't" between the two.
Undoubtedly, his words caused Lin Si'er to cry again.
Hua Nianping was half-lying down, and he kept sleeping calmly with Lin Si'er in his arms, until the faint morning light came through the window, and then he carefully let go of her and quietly returned to his guest room.
The next day, several people went to the Shushan Natural Scenic Area to play, but Lin Si'er was always lonely and unhappy, and seemed not interested.
After lunch, Hua Nianping went to the airport with Hong Fang and Tao Hailiang to send Lin Si'er away, and then took a long-distance bus back to Huaishi, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening.
He had a casual dinner on the way, and it was not until he walked slowly to the Quanhe Dry Rest House that the sky became dark.
As soon as he turned on the TV when he entered the house, Lin Si'er, who had returned to the capital, dialed his mobile phone, saying that he suddenly remembered an important matter, and it was necessary to tell Hua Nianping immediately.
The topic was about the tall, bald man I had met in the hall before dinner yesterday.
Lin Si'er said that during the Spring Festival holiday this year, he once met this tall bald man at the School of Economics of Beijing University, and he asked her about the building where Hua Nianping, the commissioner of Huaicheng Enyuan Group, lived.
Because she didn't know that Hua Nianping didn't return to Beijing for some reason, she was very kind enough to lead the tall man to Hua Nianping's house in the teacher's apartment building of Beijing University.
Hua Nianping waited for Lin Si'er to finish what she knew, and immediately became uneasy.
He immediately dialed his wife Wu Ningfang's mobile phone and eagerly asked her if she knew a businessman named Wei Shengli.
Afraid that Wu Ningfang wouldn't remember, he deliberately described Wei Shengli's bald head and tall and thin characteristics carefully.
Wu Ningfang hesitated for a moment, did not answer immediately, but asked Hua Nianping why he asked this?
Hua Nianping said that he wanted to find out if Wei Shengli had found his home during the Spring Festival. What is the purpose of going?
Wu Ningfang was annoyed by Hua Nianping's series of stern questions, and said, "I don't remember this person!" ”
He hung up.
