The next day, Xiaomeng slept until nearly noon before getting up, and woke up with her knees hugged, staring at the LCD TV that thundered last night and moved people to her room. She scratched her hair and tilted her head to think for a long time.

She rarely watches TV, and holds her laptop all day long, writing and surfing the Internet. It's inconvenient to carry such a big "champion" around, maybe she will return to Beijing one day. What's the use of this "champion"? After thinking about it, a flash of inspiration suddenly dawned.

"There you have it, you have it." She'd have to find Thunder to exchange for cash. This TV is worth five or six thousand yuan at least. Round-trip plane tickets are not available.

Completely awakened by this idea, she jumped down refreshedly and kicked a small Xiaoice box at her feet. She smiled. Yes, and this Xiaoice box also has to be cashed out together. Last night she insisted on giving Lin Mingyue a gold necklace, and Lin Mingyue asked her to accept this Xiaoice box.

She changed out of her nightdress, changed into a pair of blue jeans, a white tank top, and her long hair was tied into a high ponytail, looking youthful. She ran upstairs and downstairs in every room, and couldn't find thunder, strange, isn't it a Mid-Autumn Festival holiday today? Where did you go? SHE DIDN'T IMAGINE A LADY RAY CALLING HIM TO INVESTIGATE HIS WHEREABOUTS. I had no choice but to give up.

When Shi Shiran returned to the room, Aunt Chen's smile brighter than the sun came out of the kitchen: "Quick, the rice is ready, it's all your favorite dishes, wash your hands and eat." ”

Xiaomeng happily replied, "Okay." "Sure enough, it's different, a gold necklace in exchange for an unprecedented warm smile, it's really worth the money. The mood will affect each other, and she will also become brighter, and the meal will be fragrant.

After eating, Xiaomeng drank a cup of tea as usual, and then dangled in the garden with his hands behind his back.

It is said that every festival is a day of reunion. Yesterday I was so busy all day that I didn't feel anything, but as soon as I calmed down today, infinite sorrow came to my heart. Thinking about how unfilial he is, it has been almost two months since he ran away from home quietly, and his father must be in a hurry. After the old father fell seriously ill, his body weakened a lot, his career was unsatisfactory, and his family had frequent accidents. My brother was in a car accident and ran away by himself, how could my father bear it? She suddenly shed a tear and blamed herself deeply.

However, this is not hypocritical, and she can't go back now. Thinking of living with someone she doesn't love for the rest of her life, she really can't do it. Time should be the panacea for everything. She'd heard a truth. Parents were always angry at the beginning of the runaway child, and said viciously: "When this son of evil comes back, Lao Tzu will definitely break his dog's leg." But three days later, my parents couldn't hate it, so they could only complain: "God, what have I done?" How could such an unscrupulous child be born? After three months, the anger and hatred of the parents were all forgotten, and they would only anxiously pray to God to worship the Buddha: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva, please bless my son with a safe return, as long as he returns safely, everything will not be investigated!" ”

Therefore, she dreams that she will not be able to return home until at least three months have passed. At least at that time, Lin Guozi would definitely be too scared to mention marriage to her again. But she missed them. It shouldn't matter if you secretly tell your father, right?

She pulled her phone out of her jeans pocket, pressed her father's phone key by key, and eliminated it key by key, hesitating repeatedly, and finally pressed the call button. Waiting for the music was a little long, and this length made her hesitate again. She pressed the end button in a hurry. No, let's not fight. What if there was someone around him? In another month, no, in two months, I will definitely go home before the Spring Festival. I don't know how my relatives are doing, isn't it a kind of torture for myself?

She hid back in her room to write, and was in the middle of a new novel, two-thirds of which she had already written. Yu An'an, the editor of the publishing house, has urged several times to speed up the writing. Proofreading, design, publishing, and distribution should ideally be completed within two months in order to catch up with the Shanghai Book Fair on New Year's Day. When the new book is launched, the author signs and sells the book on the spot, and the publicity will be stronger.

In fact, several books published before Xiaomeng's crossing were also published through this publishing house, and Yu Anan has always been the editor who contacted her, but she has never heard her voice and never seen her. Go for it! Xiaomeng clenched his fists and shouted cheers to himself, hoping that he would be able to deliver the manuscript at the end of the month. She began to write. Until the phone suddenly rang and startled her.

She picked up her phone and looked, oh my God, it was Dad. By the way, he must have come back from the missed call just now, Xiaomeng didn't know whether to answer or not, she looked at the word "Dad" on the phone screen in fear, and she didn't have the courage to move until the bell rang. Forget it, she thinks she used a foreign card to call, if she insists on not answering, Dad will think it was a strange call made by mistake, and it should be fine.

It's okay, it's okay, but after the phone rang, Xiaomeng couldn't write anymore. She looked at the time on her phone, and it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Instead, he simply turned off his computer, put on his white sneakers, and jogged to the beach.

This season is crisp and not cold at all, and there are still countless tourists lingering on the seaside, playing and chasing the waves, and the laughter wakes up the egrets, and they wade across the sea. Xiaomeng ran and jumped on the beach with her arms outstretched, and she didn't mind at all if the sand ran into her shoes. She looked down again for the shells, and screamed and jumped like a child at the first discovery. She took off her sneakers and packed the shells of different colors and shapes she had picked up, and if she had the chance, she hoped to give them to Meng Fei so that he could listen to the sound of the sea inside the shells.

The sunset dyed the horizon red, and the sunset was so beautiful. Tired of picking up, Xiaomeng sat on the beach, and the sneakers filled with shells were neatly placed beside her. She hugged her knees, rested her head on her knees, and watched the sun set with wide eyes. "The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk". Li Shangyin said it so well, it made her a little "uncomfortable to the evening". She burst into tears again, and became sentimental.

The sky soon darkened, and the sky and the earth were dusk and yellow, and soon they would be completely hidden in darkness. Xiaomeng stood up, patted the sand on his pants, walked barefoot and shoes along the coastline. Ahead, the brightly lit place is the Celebrity Club. She remembered the first time she had dinner with Thunder.

She didn't leave, she sat on the beach in front of the club. The night breeze after the Mid-Autumn Festival was a little cool, and she wanted to sit for a while before she could go back. Facing the darkening sea, listening to the sound of the waves, a person can't help but feel afraid of insignificance. Suddenly she felt more and more lonely and frightened, so she slammed to her feet and prepared to go back.

At that moment, he inadvertently glanced at the brightly lit glass wall on the second floor of the club, and was immediately stunned. It's thunder! He's kissing a well-dressed woman, God, he's going to do that? And the woman, with her back against the glass wall, tightly wrapped her neck around Lei Ming. She couldn't see her clearly, but from her graceful posture, she could imagine that she must be a beautiful woman.

After being stunned for a second, Xiaomeng felt her face flush, hot to the base of her ears. She felt embarrassed, and suddenly ran away in a hurry as if she had broken into someone else's privacy, and ran all the way back to the villa barefoot. This incident shocked her so much that she didn't even notice the pain in the palm of her foot.

As soon as Aunt Chen saw her, she nagged: "Oh, Xiaomeng, where have you been?" I'm scared to death. I didn't say a word when I went out, how can I explain to Mr. Lei if there is anything? Hungry, come and eat. Mr. Lei called and came back, said that he would not come back for dinner, and asked what you were doing, I thought you were writing in the room, so I told him. In the future, you have to go out and tell me, now that the security is so bad, and you are so beautiful, you have to pay more attention than others, you know? ”

Xiao Meng lowered his head and said lightly: "Well, I know, I'll wash and come." She hurried to the bathroom, washed her sandy feet, and put on comfortable slippers. Then he took out all the shells and washed them, and then he washed the sneakers. The sneakers were handed over to Aunt Chen, and the shells were taken back to her own windowsill to dry.

After she finished her dinner in a hurry, she went back to her room, carefully folded the very high-end evening dress she wore for the party last night, and carried it to the living room to watch TV. She wanted to wait here for Thunder to come back so that she could return the evening dress to him. She's been here for the first time in so long and she's sitting here watching TV. Sit here, as soon as Lei Ming comes back, open the door and see her.

After Aunt Chen finished washing the dishes, she also sat over to watch TV with her for a while, and finally couldn't stand the disturbance of the sleepy insect and went back to sleep first.

The boring TV plot also made Xiaomeng doze off. When Lei Ming opened the door and came in, he saw such a scene, Xiaomeng's little head was leaning on the back of the sofa, and it slid down and startled her, and she immediately adjusted the position of her head and continued to sleep, holding the evening dress tightly in her hand as a quilt cover.

Lei Ming sat down beside her with a smile, his fingers slid gently over her sleeping face, and she reflexively woke up, her body shrinking back, a pair of dark grape eyes staring at him warily.

"It's me. Am I that scary? He stared with affection. At this time, he really brought the mature and steady charm of a man to the extreme, and it was easy for a woman to lean on his broad shoulders and seek a reliable protection.

Xiaomeng couldn't help but sit upright: "It's you who are terrible!" ”

"Oh? Why? I never dared to cross the thunder pool by half a step. He was puzzled.

Xiaomeng said: "Don't you dare, or don't you want to?" Don't dare not be terrible, think is terrible. looks like a gentleman on the outside, but he has a bad stomach, which is terrifying. In short, whether you are a hypocrite or a real villain, this evening dress will be returned to you. ”

Lei Ming looked at her and pondered: "No, you are a little abnormal today, and suddenly have such a bad evaluation of me, where did I offend you?" ”

"No, no," Xiao Meng, of course, refused to say: "What's abnormal, you promised me that the evening dress will only be borrowed for one night, and I won't accept this gift." ”

Lei Ming shook his head: "No, I'm not talking about it. It's your attitude towards me......"

Xiaomeng snatched the white like a thief: "I don't have any attitude, not at all." I've always been so ignorant, haven't I? You must think so. ”

"No, I think it's not that you don't know what to do, but you respect yourself, and that's good, really."

When Xiaomeng heard this, he was stunned. It seems that the thunder is not so superficial. But......

"Hey, don't talk about this," Xiaomeng didn't want to continue to talk to such a man late at night, it was dangerous to go on like this: "I have something serious to say to you." ”

Lei Ming said strangely: "Oh, serious? What the? ”

Xiao Meng grinned and said, "That's it, the champion I got yesterday and the Xiaoice box that Ah Yue gave me, I want to cash in with you." ”

"Cash?"

"Well, it's converted into RMB. I don't need those things, I'll give you all back, just give me MONEY, okay? Please. ”

Lei Ming smiled: "I've never seen you like this." Well, if you insist on that, I'll give you cash. ”

"Really, great, how much is that worth?"

"About seven thousand dollars."

"Wow, I'm rich." Little Dream jumped for joy.

Although Lei Ming thinks it's funny, as long as Xiaomeng is happy, what's not to do? Unexpectedly, Xiaomeng said again: "Give it now, is it okay?" Dear President, I beg you, give it now. ”

Lei Ming stared at her with wide eyes: "Is there really such a lack of money?" Is there really such a shortage? ”

Xiaomeng said: "You don't understand, it's not a question of lack of money. It's a question of security. If you bring me the money, I will feel safe, and I can sleep soundly tonight. ”

Lei Ming shook his head and puzzled: "I thought that Du Xiaomeng had never loved money, didn't eat fireworks in the world, and only knew how to refuse, how can I ...... now?" ...... like this"

Xiaomeng smiled slyly: "You don't understand this, right?" I, Du Xiaomeng, am very principled, I only refuse what I shouldn't get, but what I should get, I will fight to the end. I worked hard to get this champion, why did I refuse? Why should I refuse? You said. ”

Lei Ming smiled: "I can't come, I'm willing to bow down." I'm going to get you the money. ”

"Right now."

"Immediately."

Lei Ming really went upstairs to get the money and handed it to Xiaomeng. Xiaomeng accepted it unceremoniously: "I'm going to sleep." Good night. ”

"Good night." Lei Ming smiled: "It seems that I don't know you well enough." ”

"Women don't need to understand, they just need to love." Xiaomeng looked back and said. After saying that, he regretted it again, as if he was hinting at something, and immediately denied it to Lei Ming: "No, no, you don't pay attention to what I just said, click it off, when I didn't say it." Good night. ”

Lei Ming looked at her back with a smile and asked himself, when will this girl belong to him.

But Du Xiaomeng's emotions are much more complicated. Before going to bed, she kept thinking about a question: Man, it seems easy to cash in cash, but it seems difficult to make promises.
