043 Your favorite watch
Seeing Li Yaotang silently in a daze, he cleared his throat and asked, "That, a gift?" β
Suddenly poured a bucket of ice water, Li Yaotang said "oh", gift. In less than ten days, Fu Gan and An Zhijia will get married.
Gifts, she seemed to be thinking very seriously, but her mind was blank. She just looked at He Yu in a daze. He Yu looked at her, and after a long while, he spoke: "I think what the two of them need most at this moment is a house. β
"They don't live in the house?"
He Yu looked at her with a smile and said, "Dad has that meaning, but Fu Gan is unwilling." The aunt disagreed. "Li Yaotang is sometimes simple-minded, and it's really okay to be simple.
Li Yaotang understood. I couldn't help but have some scorn on my face. But no, Fu Gan is married, how can he live at home? He is not surnamed Li.
He Yu didn't see her uncomfortable, and then said, "Dad asked me if I had a suitable apartment. Zhijia is going back to Japan immediately after getting married. Fu Gan is on a long vacation, so he is still living at home for the time being. Fu Gan wanted to take advantage of this time to slowly find a house. Both of them want to apply for a transfer back to their home countries. β
"Hmm." She responded. Her father was a little surprised that she had discussed this with He Yu.
He Yu continued: "I thought, since Dad has spoken, it is better to give them a place." β
"When did you say that?"
"It's been a while."
"I didn't even hear you mention it."
"I have to take stock in advance, and you know how much property our family has."
Li Yaotang wrinkled his nose, "They have public housing." β
"But the family has to prepare a house. That's what Dad and Auntie mean. If you don't think it's appropriate, discuss it again. β
"He won't want it." She said. She knows Fu Gan and lives in the house they sent? How can it be!
He Yu raised his eyebrows.
"If that's the case, ask Zhijia and see what she thinks."
Her eyes turned to the TV screen.
Fu Gan is getting married. Although I had known the news for a long time, I still ......
She's going to ask his fiancΓ©e...... Do you need such a gift?!
Is there anything more ironic in the world?
But there is. But she met it.
The flames of war on the TV screen seemed to move to her heart. One defense after another was shattered by artillery fire.
They really left her with nowhere to hide.
He Yu looked at Li Yaotang's eyes and just stared at the TV screen, and the expression on his face gradually condensed.
"Tang Tang?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Did you hear me clearly?"
"Hear me."
"You repeat it to me." He furrowed his eyebrows.
She was silent.
He saw that she deliberately pursed his lips tightly and gritted his teeth.
Li Yaotang went back to the courtyard the next day. Even if she didn't have a house, she should come over and see if there was anything she could do to help.
Fu Gan is not at home, An Zhijia is here, and he is comparing the list of guests. In fact, most of the guests are from the woman's family, and most of the man's guests are Fu Gan's classmates and colleagues, and Shen Peiyi has no relatives at home.
Li Yaotang whispered to An Zhijia.
An Zhijia looked at Li Yaotang in surprise and smiled.
"How?" Li Yaotang saw that she was just smiling, so he asked.
An Zhijia said in a rare slow manner: "I feel like pie in the sky." β
ββ¦β¦β
An Zhijia smiled, reached over, and held Li Yaotang's hand. Li Yaotang's hand was slightly cold, An Zhijia seemed to be frozen, and at that moment, she thought of his hand, which was also so cold.
Her heart swelled instantly.
An Zhijia said: "Tang Tang, thank you, and thank you He Yu, for thinking so thoughtfully for us......" She paused, "I and Fu Gan, we have already looked at an apartment, and the deposit has been paid." Because I'm busy these days, I don't bother to go up to go through the formalities. I want to wait until the wedding is over before I get things done. It also means that I don't want my family to worry about it. β
"That's ...... This place chosen by He Yuxuan is very close to the ministry, only five minutes by car...... In the future, it will be very convenient for you to go to work. She looked at An Zhijia.
An Zhijia smiled and said, "Tangtang, how can we ask for a house?" Housing prices in Beijing are close to those in Tokyo, which is too expensive. Thank you. But we really can't ask for it. β
"It's just a gift." Li Yaotang's words were a little weak.
An Zhijia laughed and said, "Yes." However, I have already communicated with Fu Gan. We don't need a big house, just a small one. β
β¦β¦
Our home doesn't need to be big, just a small one...... It was the home of the two of us, and it belonged to the two of us......
Who is this, who also said the same thing in her ear?
An Zhijia blinked, seeing that Li Yaotang didn't say anything for a long time, she only looked at herself in a daze, she thought that Li Yaotang was unhappy, so she smiled quietly and said, "You can send us something else." β
She nodded, "What do you like?" β
"We'll be happy with whatever you send." An Zhijia smiled and said, "Thank you and He Yu." β
An Zhijia's smile is like a spring flower blooming, which is the most feminine smile of the bride-to-be.
"You ...... When to register? Li Yaotang listened to his voice, as if it was a little out of tune. Her hand was still held by An Zhijia - strange, her hand was still so cold after so long.
"Oh, I was going to go in the next two days. But," An Zhijia smiled, "I want to register on Valentine's Day......"
Li Yaotang counted the days and asked, "It was after the wedding, and it was Saturday." β
"Hmm. You can now go and register on Saturdays. An Zhijia smiled proudly, there were fine laugh lines at the corners of her eyes, "It's not like getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket, we want to think that this life should be as sweet and happy as this day." β
β¦β¦
In the evening, when He Yu returned home, Li Yaotang told him about the day. He only nodded.
His face was faint. She's lazy.
The two of them finished their dinner sullenly, and went back to their rooms to go about their own business.
Li Yaotang sat at his desk and flipped through the books. School is about to start. She needs to prepare the materials. She is also busy with her own homework, and she only read half of the book list listed by her tutor last semester; It's time for the first draft of the paper, and she doesn't have a clue yet...... She thought, headache.
It's a real headache. Li Yaotang closed his eyes and rubbed the corners of his forehead. The brain melon seeds seem to be kicked around as a ball, and it hurts badly. She pulled open the drawer for medicine. Painkillers she always had on hand. But the most convenient location, but I didn't find it. I have a terrible headache, and I really can't remember if I came to the bottom of the medicine and ate it or didn't put it here at all. There should be one in the bathroom medicine box, and I don't want to touch it.
At this time, He Yu knocked on the door and came in, holding a small paper bag in his hand, saw Li Yaotang's appearance, and asked, "What are you looking for?" Her brow furrowed.
"Painkillers." She said simply. Then she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes slightly, the stimulation of the light only made her headache worse.
He Yu walked over, put the paper bag on the table, reached out and tried her forehead, it was a little cold. He knew she had migraines and flare-ups from time to time.
Li Yaotang looked at him with wide eyes. For a moment, I forgot about the headache. But when I came back to my senses, I only felt that the headache was more intense. It was like a hammer slamming over the head.
He Yu bent down, pulled her chair closer to herself, and put her hands on her shoulders.
"What?"
"Relax......" He gently pressed her shoulder, her body tense under the palm of his hand. His hand was strong, and he pressed her firmly. She had to sit there obediently and not move.
"Close your eyes." He whispered.
Despite her doubts, she slowly closed her eyes. Tie He's hand nudged lightly, allowing her to lean back in her chair. Raise your hand and press your thumb to the center of her eyebrows, from the inside out, gently massaging. The heat in his hands kept passing on. Like a soldering iron, ironing her forehead. An indescribable comfort gradually eroded her consciousness......
He Yu watched Li Yaotang's twisted eyebrows gradually loosen, and the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a smile.
He scrutinized her.
After a while, he gently stroked her cheek, the smooth skin seemed to stick to his fingers. There is some nostalgia, but I still let go. As if to resist the urge to touch her again, he put his hands in his trouser pockets.
Li Yaotang opened his eyes, and He Yu leaned on the desk, blocking most of the light.
ββ¦β¦ Much better......" she muttered, raising her hand to stroke her forehead.
He pursed his lips.
Her face suddenly felt hot. Just now, she almost fell asleep like that...... However, it was really comfortable. Thinking of this, she raised her eyes to see He Yu. How does he know which acupuncture points to massage to relieve headaches?
He Yu didn't respond to her inquiring gaze, but just pouted at the paper bag he brought on the table, and said, "Fu Gan and Zhijia are there, I have this in addition." Look at it, and if it doesn't suit your heart, take it for exchange. In addition, you can decide the amount of the gift money. β
She looked at the sign on the paper bag and immediately understood what was inside.
As if she was not giving up, she raised her eyes to see what she encountered. That gaze was a little pitiful.
These subtle changes were all seen by He Yu.
He didn't have anything to do, "Don't you like this brand of watch?" β
Li Yaotang felt that his head began to hurt again. Not only did I have a headache, but I also felt a little nauseous. She knew it was a terrible thing to do. Suppressing the discomfort, he forced out a smile.
"Good. Very good. β
"If you're satisfied."
Silently, neither of them spoke anymore.
He Yu finally stood up straight and left silently.
Li Yaotang leaned softly on the chair and closed his eyes.
The clock on the desk ticked and ticked, and it was like a horseshoe print, all of which were imprinted on her heart......
He once used a watch to promise her a lifetime; Now she wants to use a gift to cut off her thoughts.
Actually, it really can't be considered a thought.
What can you think about?
When it was so difficult, so difficult, she said Fu Gan, I don't care, it's useless for anyone to object, I want to marry you, I just want you.
He said okay, Tang Tang, let's get married.
She held her ID card and household registration book, and stood nervously and happily in the corridor of the Civil Affairs Bureau, waiting for him.
After the appointed time, he did not show up. No one answered the phone. She didn't dare to call home to find him. Because, Auntie is at home.
