At the end of September, an unprecedentedly powerful typhoon made landfall off the coast of Guangzhou, causing fish boats to return to port, Haikou to be closed, schools to be closed, and factories to suspend production. In the streets, workers wearing hard hats are orderly cutting off branches of green trees and reinforcing billboards, and a tense atmosphere pervades the city to prepare for an impending disaster.

However, there are some disasters that cannot be prevented!

……

After that, I never saw Xia Xiaoxue again, and they may have left Guangzhou, but I went to her hometown in She County, and I didn't find them.

The quaint ancestral house was locked in front of it, and it was clear that it had not been inhabited for a long time.

I inquired with my neighbors, but there was no result, only to hear that Xiaoxue had a serious illness, and the family never came back after that.

I stayed in She County for a few days, but I really couldn't find out where Xia Xiaoxue's family went, so I had to return to Guangzhou.

On this day, Hu Shanshan suddenly sent me a WeChat message, telling me that her volunteer teaching work had expired, and she would probably be able to come to Guangzhou to find me on National Day.

And I'm starting to get tired of life here, and I'm planning to quit my job and return to my hometown.

It may be that when you get older, you start to be sentimental, you lose confidence in what you can't grasp, and you suddenly fear losing something.

I thought, it's time to have a home and family of my own, and this time, I must take advantage of it.

And Hu Shanshan also needs a home, and our yearning coincides.

However, it backfired, one day when I visited Han Meimei, Han Daqing suddenly stopped me.

He sent the maid away, leaned on the sofa and lit a cigar, looked at me with a cloud of mist, and asked, "Lu Xia, is your accomplice's name Zhao Ziwu?" Is it the manager of the marketing department of a state-owned enterprise? ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and thought to myself, could it be Han Meimei who told him? Or did he secretly investigate the incident?

Seeing that I was silent, Han Daqing was more sure of his words, took a deep puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled: "No wonder you dare to come to Guangzhou alone, it turns out that there are people from the resources department of state-owned enterprises operating in the dark, if it is aimed at people in the company, even Mr. Xu is difficult to prevent." It's a pity ......"

"What a pity?" I sensed a hint from his attitude, a vague premonition that something was happening, and my heart suddenly became apprehensive.

Han Daqing smoked his cigarette unhurriedly, looked at me, and looked upstairs again, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"Lu Xia, I have bad news and good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Forehead ......"

Seeing that I was silent, Han Daqing also realized that his old stalk was a little outdated, so he smiled, put down his cigar and said to me: "Then let's tell you the bad news first!" ”

Han Daqing stiffened his body and said to me solemnly: "Lu Xia, Zhao Ziwu is in prison, an economic crime. ”

"Huh? How can it be! "I panicked.

"Why can't it be? Do you think you're sure you're winning? And he said,

Han Daqing glanced at me with contempt, picked up the cigar again, leaned back and took a casual puff and said, "So you should leave the company as soon as possible!" Mayor Li will not stop there. ”

I panicked, and I didn't know what to do for a while. I don't think about my career, but when I think of Zhao Ziwu in danger and I can't do anything, I feel a sense of powerlessness and guilt.

Han Daqing looked at me with a cigar, suddenly rolled his eyes, and asked nervously, "What?" Are you reluctant? ”

As he spoke, he laughed again: "Yes, it is really not easy for you to get to where you are in the company today!" You are so young, you will definitely have an immeasurable future if you continue. It's a pity! ”

I didn't answer, but looking at Han Daqing's behavior today, it's a bit weird, it's not like it's a blessing, and it's not like it's going to fall into a stone. When he said this, he seemed to be foreshadowing something.

Thinking of this, I realized that there was something in his words, and asked him tightly: "Section Chief Han, what is the good news?" ”

Han Daqing looked me up and down, and suddenly laughed: "Lu Xia, I won't sell it to you anymore, the good news is: although Zhao Ziwu broke himself, he was a senior official of a state-owned enterprise after all, and he also stabbed a knife in the other party's chest." Now Mayor Li is at the end of his power, and if I make another move, he will surely fall. I've been guarding against that person for half my life, and I have a little bit of capital to deal with him in my hands......"

"That's great!" I said excitedly.

"Okay? Where's the good? I didn't promise to help you deal with him."

Han Daqing said in a weird manner, looked me up and down again, put down his cigar, rubbed his palms and said, "Lu Xia, I'll just say it!" Of course I can help you, and I can even pay to get Zhao Ziwu out. Economic crimes, there is no crime after filling in the blanks! But why would I do that? What's in it for me to do this? ”

I can see that Han Daqing is coming to me to negotiate conditions.

"Section Chief Han, what benefits do you want? I don't have a high position, and I don't know how I can help you! ”

Han Daqing laughed when he heard this: "Lu Xia, you really can't help me anything, I don't have anything to desire for money and career!" ”

"That'...... Are you going to help me? ”

"Help?" Han Daqing smiled self-deprecatingly, suddenly had a stern look in his eyes, and said to me seriously: "Unless you are my family, I have a reason to help." You know, Mayor Li is still in office after all, and I am also taking risks. ”

"Family?" I asked for some reason.

"That's right! Family、Be my Han Daqing's son-in-law。 Han Daqing said and looked upstairs, looked at me with kind eyebrows, and said, "I don't mean to persecute you." I just hope that you can marry Meimei and let her have a good rest of her life. I know that this is too much of a request for you, after all, Meimei is different from ordinary girls. Do you think about it? ”

“……”

Seeing that I didn't speak, Han Daqing was a little flustered, his brows tightened, he sighed and said, "Lu Xia, Meimei can't hold on for a few years!" She is a hard-working child, and as a parent, I have thousands of family dollars, but I can't give her anything. And you, on the other hand, are the ones who can walk into her heart......"

……

I forgot the rest of the conversation, but I knew I would say yes. Even if there is no matter of Zhao Ziwu, even if Han Meimei is just a girl from an ordinary family, I will do this.

Because, I promised Han Meimei that I would fulfill many of her regrets, and I couldn't bear to see a girl who relied on me face the rest of her life so lonely and miserable.

However, I am married to Han Mi-mi, what about my love? What else can I take to greet Hu Shanshan?

……

After three days of disturbance, I still sent a WeChat message to Hu Shanshan: "Da Shanshan, I'm sorry, I'm going to break my promise again"

"What?" She asked

"I'm getting married? On National Day, he married Han Meimei. ”

"Lu Xia, are you kidding? I'm going to have to laugh, right? … But I ask you to stop making such jokes, okay? I really can't laugh! ”

"Da Shanshan, I'm sorry, it's true, I have to get married!"

"Lu Xia, we said okay! It's only been a few days, and I'll be looking for you in Guangzhou in a few days! Can't wait a few days? ”

"I'm sorry! ……”

……

On October 1st, my wedding with Han Meimei was held as scheduled in full view of everyone, and Hu Shanshan still stubbornly came to Guangzhou on this day.

Like the day I first dropped her off at Hefei airport, she waited five hours at Baiyun Airport in Guangzhou.

Even though she knew I wouldn't go, she came, sent me a WeChat location, and sat down and waited....

At the wedding, Han Mi-mi's French aunt toasted me, she was drunk, treated the wedding as a party, and took my arm to ask me to dance with her.

Xu Jiaojiao hated me all day long, pouted and drank with herself, no blessing, no scolding me, and seeing that the wedding was halfway through, she ran up to the stage and grabbed the microphone of the master of ceremonies and sang......

What a strange wedding!

……

On the night of candles in the cave room, Han Meimei waited for me with a hijab. I was drunk and hazy and wiped the pole, and was about to pick up the red hijab embroidered with dragon and phoenix Chengxiang like in TV, when suddenly the phone shook.

It was Hu Shanshan's wedding greeting to me, only two short words: "Congratulations"

……

At night, Han Meimei hugged my arm and slept sweetly, but I lost my sleepiness because the alcohol subsided.

Bored on his mobile phone, he suddenly saw Hu Shanshan having a WeChat message.

A photo of the airport at night with a poetic text:

I'll wait for you!

"You can't escape from the place you often come to in your dreams, you can't leave what you have to wait for in your dreams, and you can't leave the peaks in your dreams. I know you won't come, but I'm willing to wait.

In the same night, pedestrians are in a hurry, you come and go, mayflies and fog in front of the light box at the subway entrance, and the tracks of the escalator are rattling.

At dusk, the air is filled with barbecue smoke, the noise of vendors is filled with ears, and the high beams of cars sweep away the hesitation and heartbeat of inferiority.

You bought flowers for you, and you hid a surprise for me, with the city you live in front of you and the steps you walked at your feet.

Nan Ke outside my thoughts, Huang Liang in my longing, I stand at the intersection of waiting for you, take off the shackles of fetters and take off the shackles of imprisonment, I am waiting for you, the years are flying, I am waiting for you.

Tick ......tock, you haven't come yet, I unscrewed the water glass in my hand. Tick-tock, I twisted the dirt off my shoulders. Tick-tock, I catch a flying fish.

The night is always so long, you always don't come, every night, every day, every often.

One day I was restless, I was restless.

One day, arrogance flowed between his fingers, and he danced on his eyebrows.

You haven't come yet, I have time to write a story for you.

You haven't come yet, I have time to paint a poetic scene for you.

The girl who sold flowers smiled shyly, and the remarried phoenix crown made trouble in the wedding sedan chair. The knight stepped on the sand and returned to the west, and the emperor drove the east. The fairies in the sky are stained with pearls, and the lanterns in the brothels are swaying in the cold wind.

I can't stop waiting, dreaming in and out of my dreams. I can't go out and wait, you are always in the future.

I know you won't come, but I'm waiting.

I know you won't come, but I'm willing to wait.
