The stars are in the sky, the moonlight is like water, the shadows of the trees are abundant, and the breeze is blowing. Xiaomeng sat on the swing frame and shook it, shaking thousands of thoughts, chaotic to the extreme, and suddenly born a kind of impermanence of the world, death and life. Smelling the jasmine scent in the wind and looking up at the stars, they blink mischievously, like someone's eyes.

Is it that there will be a lot of stars on the sea? I haven't seen the stars in Beijing for a long time, and it's rare to look up, but between the high-rise buildings, I see so many scattered stars. Such a scene of stars and moons, in Xiaomeng's opinion, is a bit extravagant and unrealistic. Just like in today's life, you don't have to think about anything, you don't have to do anything, you just have to open your mouth to eat, you just concentrate on writing, and you don't even ask about the world, and you don't pay attention to the troubles. She knew that this was Lei Ming's intention, and he wanted to give her a completely quiet environment. Once dreamed of it, but got it but was in turmoil,—— why should she?

Lei Ming is really busy, I heard that it will take a lot of manpower, material and financial resources and, of course, energy, for the newly opened import and export trading company to get on track. Five or six middle-level and above manager-level managers have been sent from Beijing at Lei Ming's dispatch to assist Lei Ming in handling the company's affairs and several large real estate investment projects. Therefore, he leaves early and returns late every day, and there is not much time to really see him in person, but his careful arrangement is palpable.

Including what she wants to eat for three meals a day, let Aunt Chen take her to the gym for fitness, and often remind her that she can go to the study on the second floor to read or write, where not only is there a rich collection of books, but you can see the blue sea from the study window on the second floor. But Xiaomeng always follows the rules and refuses to easily disrupt other people's lives and invade other people's privacy and forbidden places. She would sit quietly in the worker's room and write, at most moving her laptop to the stone table in the gazebo in the garden.

When she was tired of writing, she would often receive a call from Lei Ming telling her to get up and move, and asked Lin Mingyue to teach her to swim twice a week, and the water in the pool often changed to room temperature. Now Du Xiaomeng's swimming skills are already good, and there is no problem in swimming back and forth in the swimming pool. After learning it, Lin Mingyue often took her to swim in the sea. From the villa to the sea, walk along a concrete road, and then cross the roundabout, which is only a 10-minute walk. Swimming in the sea, walking and running on the beach, or buying barbecue at a barbecue stall to eat, sitting there and watching others swim and play, and playing beach volleyball are the most comfortable and relaxing leisure ways for Xiaomeng.

Such a peach-blossom-like life is perfect, if it was Meng Fei who accompanied her instead of Lei Ming or Lin Mingyue, how good would it be! Hey, isn't she too greedy? Why are there so many stars tonight? They blink and blink, like someone's eyes. Like countless of his starry eyes, he was looking at her tenderly, asking her why she hadn't come home yet?

Two lines of tears slipped silently, was she wrong? What the hell is she hiding? Hide from the fruit, or hide from Meng Fei?

"Ahem," a soft cough startled her, "what are you thinking?" I was in a daze when I thought about it. You're in tears, why? ”

Xiaomeng turned back reflexively, and before he could see his face clearly, he immediately turned his back to him, covered his face with long hair, and quickly wiped away the tears on his face. A gentle smile appeared when he turned around: "Nothing? Sometimes it is inevitable to be sad and sentimental about new words. ”

Lei Ming sat gently on the other end of the swing, and the small swing brought the two closer together, breathing and smelling each other. Xiaomeng involuntarily leaned close to the handrail.

Lei Ming smiled bitterly: "Is it just so?" All your body language tells me that's more than that. When I'm back, you can't hear the sound of the iron door opening, you can't hear the sound of the car coming in, you can't even hear me when I call you, is it just the sentimentality you say? Tell me why, okay? Just like the sentimental Lin Daiyu's funeral flowers, there is a reason, not for the sentimental life experience under the fence, or for the unsustainable Mu Shi Qianmeng. So, what about you? Du Xiaomeng, who is more modern and cheerful than Lin Daiyu, is he sentimental about love, or is he nostalgic for fate? ”

Xiaomeng couldn't help but laugh, tilted his head and glanced at him delicately, and said: "The world says that Lei Ming, the president of Tianma Group, has the temperament of a Confucian businessman, and it really lives up to its name and is extraordinary. ”

Lei Ming smiled: "You don't need to pour me ecstasy soup, take care of it." I have always had a little question in my heart: why did you come here for so long and didn't want to go back to Beijing? I guessed, and for a long time, I thought: you must have run away from home. ”

Xiaomeng stared at Lei Ming in a daze, speechless for a long time.

"Your expression tells me, I guessed right." Lei Ming said proudly.

Xiaomeng smiled: "Okay, even if it's running away from home, what's the matter?" Actually, I didn't want to hide anything, but if you don't ask, of course I won't say it. If you had asked, I would have said it a long time ago. ”

"Oops, it looks like I'm stupid, I should have asked." Lei Ming slapped his thigh as if he were remorseful.

Xiaomeng pursed her lips and smiled, and said lightly: "I am running away from marriage." ”

"Running away from marriage? What era is this? Freedom of marriage and love, why do you need to escape marriage? If you don't want to, just refuse directly, why bother so hard to escape from marriage? Lei Ming didn't expect this to be the reason, which is quite strange.

Xiaomeng shook his head, looked at a tall phoenix tree in the courtyard in front of him, and said slowly as calmly as if telling someone else's story: "When I was ten years old, my parents divorced. Mom left me and Dad without a word. My father was an unknown poor painter, and no one wanted the paintings he painted, and we were so poor that we didn't have a meal. At this time, we met a mother and son. They helped us enthusiastically, and also helped Dad quit drinking and get back on his feet, and found a way out for Daddy's paintings, and Dad became famous. We even stayed in the villa. Naturally, this mother and my dad came together, and they got married. And that boy became my brother. He was seven years older than me, he treated me very well, took good care of me, and always followed me like a protective god from childhood to adulthood. I love him as if he were my own brother. But ......"

Xiaomeng couldn't go on anymore and lowered his head. Lei Ming quietly continued: "However, I didn't expect him to fall in love with you and want you to marry him." You are torn between grace and love, so you run away from home. ”

Xiaomeng nodded, she raised her little face and looked at Lei Ming and praised: "You are very smart, or you are very wise." ”

Xiaomeng didn't mention Meng Fei, that was a more complicated and essential reason, but she didn't intend to tell anyone. Lei Ming smiled: "It's easy to guess, like you are so beautiful, so talented, and so cute, when he first met you, he was already a half-sized boy, it was easy to fall in love, get along with you day and night, and it is not uncommon to like you." ”

Xiaomeng sighed: "Yes, it's not uncommon for love to open for the first time, but it's strange that he is infatuated and hard to change." I didn't listen to how many times I persuaded and how many times I refused. Not long ago, he was in a car accident for me, and he barely survived, but he proposed to me before he was discharged from the hospital. You say, what should I do? She tugged at the ends of her hair, and all her worries became tangled for a moment.

Lei Ming turned her shoulders and looked at her: "Listen to me, Xiaomeng, this matter is not as serious as you think. Escape is not a way, of course, if you want to escape for a lifetime, hide in me for a lifetime, then I can't wait, I must open my hands and warmly welcome. But I just want to tell you that there are many ways to repay the favor, and it is not the best way to make a promise. The end result may be bad for both you and him. ”

Xiaomeng bit her lower lip and nodded, Lei Ming looked at the eyes as clear as spring water, and couldn't help but want to hug her into his arms. Xiaomeng was startled, and immediately stood up and took two steps forward.

"I'm sorry. But my heart is in turmoil. Look, I can't even settle a forest fruit, and I don't have the ability to cause another relationship. ”

"It doesn't matter. I'll wait. I'm different from him, I'm not going to force marriage, I'll wait until you're willing. I am confident that one day, you will definitely fall in love with me. Lei Ming still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and said unhurriedly.

Having said that, there has never been a woman who has taken such pains for him as much as a little dream. It was new and exciting for him, and he wanted to challenge his patience. Is patience finite or unlimited?
