Book 3: I Won't Leave You Behind
Book 3: I Won't Leave You Behind
The delay in the attainment of hope is worrying; Indeed, what is willing is the tree of life.
The car drove to the side of the street and stopped, and Wen Ziqi unfastened his seat belt and said, "Let's have something to eat!" So he got out of the car first.
Liu Mianmian had to follow, came to a restaurant with *** decoration style, followed Wenzi to the second floor, and came to a small private room.
Wenzi didn't take the menu, and said to the waiter: "A nest of yam white rice porridge, lettuce beef slices, no green chili, stewed chicken with tea tree mushrooms," he glanced at Liu Mianmian, and then said: "One appetizer pickle, two cups of eight-treasure tea." The waiter made a note and left behind closed doors.
The mobile phone vibrate, it was Yang Jing calling, Liu Mianmian hurriedly answered and explained: "Sister Yang, I'm sorry, I forgot to call you, I got an injection, well, well, don't worry if it's okay, you're busy with you, we're about to eat, I'll go back after eating, goodbye Sister Yang." ”
Hung up the phone, Liu Mianmian exhaled, it seems that this place really doesn't match her, and her body and head are funny after she comes.
After the tea came up, Liu Mianmian couldn't wait to take a sip of it, it was sweet and warm, slowly flowing into the stomach, and suddenly the whole body gathered back, and couldn't help sighing: "It's really warm to the stomach!" ”
Wen Ziqi raised his eyes and glanced at her, and also took a sip of the cup, he was in a hurry today, and he didn't care about drinking saliva, only then did he realize that his lips were dry and his throat was hoarse, and he didn't eat breakfast, and his stomach was slightly cramped at the moment because there was no food all day.
The white porridge was presented, Wen Ziqi picked up a spoon and scooped a bowl, and handed it to Liu Mianmian opposite, a round table with ridiculous eight people, and they sat opposite each other, like strangers sharing the table.
Liu Mianmian hurriedly stood up, took it flattered, whispered thanks, and lowered his head to eat. When the dishes were served, she found that Wen Ziqi had moved next to her for some time, and picked up a piece of lettuce and put it on her plate.
Wenzi period is not good at taking care of people, most of the time in the past Liu Mianmian cooked for him to eat, and then asked him over and over again how it tasted, he deliberately held it silent, Liu Mianmian pretended to be angry, and at the end of Wenzi period scratched her neck, the two frolicked for a while, and when it quieted down, he seriously held Liu Mianmian's young and beautiful cheeks, and said: "My woman, naturally a can beanie~" Liu Mianmian smiled with satisfaction.
Now the woman in front of him is completely regarded as a friend he just met, and he doesn't plan to be polite, let alone deliberately find a topic, burying his head in savoring the food, and seems to be quite interested in pickled cucumbers. The sauce touched her lips, and Liu Mianmian naturally stretched out her hand and said, "Paper!" Wen Ziqi more naturally pulled out a piece of meal paper and handed it to her. Suddenly, both of them thought of something, and were stunned for a moment.
Are you sure it's not a dream? Wen Ziqi tasted the porridge in the bowl and thought to himself, it would be okay for her to sit there decently, on this sparsely populated border, to have dinner with him, no one knew them, no one bothered them.
When he was young, he tried his mind for the first time in the moonlight, a trembling couple, and he was about to enter the year of standing in a blink of an eye, he shouldn't continue to be awkward like a child, embarrassed by Liu Mianmian and embarrassed himself, the most difficult days have passed, eat a good meal, isn't it also a luxury that he didn't dare to have in his heart in the past five years?
Wen Ziqi filled Liu Mianmian with two spoonfuls of chicken soup in an empty bowl, put it in front of her and said: "This chicken soup is stewed with atractylodes, astragalus, and Yunling, which is the most nourishing stomach, you have a weak spleen and stomach and drink some soup, and try not to eat meat." These days, pay more attention to your diet and be lighter. ”
Liu Mianmian had a stomach ache when she was in college, and she saved two meals to eat a big meal, and her stomach was bloated and sore after eating, and she had diarrhea the next day, and she vomited when she drank water.
At this time, only white rice porridge and soda water can be swallowed, and Liu Mianmian beat his chest and feet, blaming Cangtian for being a raw foodie, how to give a weak stomach.
"Ziji, why are you here?" Liu Mianmian interrupted Wen Ziqi's train of thought and asked, while obediently drinking chicken soup, and then playing with a spoon and pressing a wolfberry in a small bowl.
"Feng County Merchants Bureau Director Sun a few years ago when I visited the mainland, I became a friend, Mr. Sang and our company also have a contract, now the county wants to develop the local safflower industry, Mr. Yang intends to invest in the construction of a factory, Mr. Sang has land, we have processing equipment, get together to dock." Wen Ziqi took a sip of tea and continued: "I choose to take annual leave in June every year and stay here for a month, so I am more familiar. ”
"How have you been all these years?" Liu Mianmian rubbed her earlobe with her left hand, lowered her eyebrows and asked softly.
"With a salary that is neither high nor low, doing a job that is easy to do, it is not comparable..."Wen Ziqi paused, and said sarcastically: "I can't compare to the life of the upper class, but I am also self-sufficient, and my heart is at peace." After saying that, he was a little remorseful, and looked up at her.
The other party didn't care, and nodded: "This is the best." ”
Wenzi also wants to ask Liu Mianmian, how are you doing, are you happy in your married life? Have you ever thought of me for a moment? Why are you here?
But he couldn't ask a word, he was stunned, and he was dumb for a while, as if there were dreams in front of him, and he was afraid that he would be awakened by his recklessness and shatter the dream.
On the way back to the hotel, it was getting late, only their car was driving alone on the dark road, there was endless snow on both sides of the road, the snow on the side of the road was frozen into ice, and the road ahead was like a long tunnel with no end to the exit. If it weren't for the light of the headlights, it would have been a terrible abyss, like falling into an endless abyss of claustrophobia. Liu Mianmian, who was in the back seat, rubbed her cheeks vigorously with her hands, sighed, and teased: "If you throw me here at this moment, I guess I will be taken away by wolves." ”
"No, I won't leave you behind." Liu Mianmian was originally joking, but Wenzi became serious, and he was embarrassed to say after speaking: "I can't do such a crazy thing." ”
This time Liu Mianmian became embarrassed and frustrated, it seems that she did it.
Back at the hotel, one went to the third floor, the other went up to the fourth floor, and they said goodbye politely in the elevator. Wen Ziqi's eyes swept to the room card in the woman's hand - 0306.
When she returned to the room, Wen Yun's heating hit, and she stretched out a lot, Liu Mianmian took off her shoes and coat, lay lazily on the bed, and sent a WeChat message to Sister Yang to inform her that she had returned to the room. Liu Mianmian is more resistant to calling, she will be irritable when she hears the ringtone, most of the time the mobile phone is silent or vibrating, and her work and life basically rely on WeChat communication.
After resting on his stomach for about half an hour, he remembered that he hadn't taken the medicine, got up and prepared to boil water, when two knocks sounded on the door.
It was about Sister Yang, Liu Mianmian opened the door.
Wen Ziqi was still wearing the gray sweater from yesterday, holding a rechargeable hot water bag in his hand and said: "I borrowed it from the front desk, in case your stomach hurts again at night, the warm water bag will always relieve you." He remembered that in the past, when Liu Mianmian had a period or had a stomachache, the warm water bag was a must-have medicine.
Liu Mianmian thanked him and took it, and the person outside the door didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
"Would you like to come in and sit down? I'm about to boil water, so you can drink some too. Liu Mianmian went to fetch water by herself, and Wen Ziqi sat on the sofa unceremoniously, looking around the room with Erlang's legs crossed.
The coat was thrown on the bed, the suitcase was open in a mess, and there was a laptop on the table, and a few pieces of scribbled waste paper.
Liu Mianmian walked to the bedside table, plugged in the hot water bag, took out the water cup in the box, poured boiling water, and repeatedly scalded the hotel's white porcelain water cup with boiling water on the other side, and finally poured hot water and handed it to Wen Ziqi.
The room of less than 20 square meters, there is a large bed in the middle, the place is particularly cramped, fortunately there is the sound of warm water bags gurgling, otherwise the atmosphere is really a little ambiguous. Wenzi thought, after all, they had been skin-to-skin, every inch of Liu Mianmian's body, he had kissed, that stubborn lips were attacked by him, and the soft and glutinous earlobes were also bitten by him, he still remembered that her body was soft and transparent, and her back was smooth and slender.
Wen Ziqi interrupted his shameful thoughts as soon as possible, and comforted himself on the other hand, maybe this is the virtue of the man, he is infatuated with Liu Mianmian, including her soul and body.
Liu Mianmian didn't know that she had been molested by the person in front of her, and she asked Wen Ziqi: "When do you plan to return to Changtan?" ”
"It depends, it should be earlier than you." Wenzi period answer.
"If you're earlier than Sister Yang, can you take me to the airport with you?" Liu Mianmian knew that it was five or six hundred kilometers away from the nearest airport, and it was not good to trouble others to give her a ride: "I'll go back to Lizhou." ”
"What? Want to go back when you first arrived? Wen Ziqi was puzzled, and said vinegar: "Can't you let go of your husband after just going out for a few days?" ”
After saying that, I regretted it again, and I was annoyed by my recklessness.
Liu Mianmian looked at him, didn't speak for a long time, stared at the water glass in his hand. Slowed down, and said softly: "I'm divorced." ”
Wen Ziqi was shocked and looked at her in surprise.
"I've been restless when I got here, and I can't sleep well at night, except for the snow is the blue sky, which probably makes this look too sad and vast this season." Liu Mianmian diverted the topic, held the thermos cup and said: "You are all busy with business, and I am not always good to be taken care of." I told Sister Yang before I came, and if it's not fun, I'll go back first. ”
Wen Ziqi didn't speak, the moment was mixed, mixed feelings, there was a trace of joy in the depths of his heart, and he was silent for a while and said: "Tomorrow morning there will be a meeting with the local **, you just have to rest more, I will come to you before lunch and take you to a place." Putting down the water glass, he got up to say goodbye, and Liu Mianmian sent him to the door and said: "You don't have to take time out of your time, it's good for me to take natural oxygen here." It's not that bad, in fact, maybe it's my own problem. Liu Mianmian lowered his head suddenly, unable to see clearly.
"It's okay, I haven't been there in a long time." Wen Ziqi smiled and turned to leave.
The hot water bag clings to Liu Mianmian's body, and a warm current invades the whole body, I don't know if it's because of the drug or because she is too tired and has no dreams all night.
On the second day, Wenziqi arrived as scheduled, Liu Mianmian greeted Sister Yang on the phone, and set off with Wenziqi.
Following him to a black Audi car in the yard, Liu Mianmian subconsciously walked to the back seat, and Wenzi said: "You take the co-pilot, talk to me for 300 kilometers, otherwise I will take a nap." ”
Liu Mianmian nodded and put the bag in the back seat.
The scenery in the town during the day is much more beautiful than at night, and even though it is winter, occasionally herdsmen release their cattle and sheep out of the grassland, and the snow water flows into small streams, attracting cattle and sheep to drink. In the distance, half of the snow-capped mountains are glittering with white snow, half are indigo, and the top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and there is no trace of cloud in the blue sky. Because of last night's good sleep, Liu Mianmian looked refreshed, Wenzi glanced at the beauty beside her with her residual light, it seems that the stomach pain last night did not happen again, Liu Mianmian is still the dark green white-collar down jacket today, but the sweater inside has been replaced with a goose yellow high neck, the sun shines on her chestnut slightly curly hair, today she is half-tied with a ball head, and a silver dark light star-shaped clip.
Wen Ziqi was thinking about what kind of topic to talk about, but Liu Mianmian spoke first: "Ziqi, do you remember Zhao Xiaochan?" ”
Of course, he knew that the hardcore close friend who was inseparable from Liu Mianmian at that time reprimanded Wen Ziqi for being a scumbag. With Liu Mianmian, people gather like people, and things are divided into groups. Wen Ziqi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said, "Remember." He once saw Su Rui's avatar in the class group, which was a wedding photo with Zhao Xiaochan.
"Her daughters are all three years old," Liu Mianmian said with a smile, "I didn't dare to imagine that she became a mother at first." ”
Wen Ziqi really wants to ask, Liu Mianmian, what about you? Do you have a baby? A daughter as lovely as you, or a son like that person?
Forget it, forget it, we can see each other again in our lifetime, and the two of them feel the snow and blue sky together, which is already a gift, and it is time to be content.
"Her daughter's little hands are soft, a milky fragrance, I have never seen a girl with such long eyelashes, and she has inherited her mother's dimples, every time I see it, I call my aunt, my heart is going to melt, it's still a girl!" Liu Mianmian said to herself, with a smile in the corner of her eyes.
"Zhao Xiaochan and Su Rui are suitable." Wen Ziqi said casually.
Liu Mianmian laughed to herself: "Su Rui has always talked little, like a stuffy gourd, Xiaochan said that once she went on a trip, when the tour guide helped them take pictures, Xiaochan wanted to learn to be hugged by the princess in the TV series, and Su Rui asked her to pay attention to public civilization!" Ha ha. ”
It's one thing down the other. After breaking up with Liu Mianmian, Wenzi returned to his old family Tan City, almost cut off all contact with Liu Mianmian, and gradually faded from his college classmates.
At that time, Wenzi felt like an anomaly, burying his head like an ostrich. He has been smooth since he was a child, with excellent grades and a harmonious original family, so he naturally thought that the relationship would come naturally, and confidently thought that Liu Mianmian was his, Su Rui's happy Wenzi period had never been envied, he was like a busy and happy ant every day, and he couldn't wait to plan the future that belonged to him and Liu Mianmian, but he didn't know that fate played a big joke on himself.
The car was getting closer and closer to the snowy mountain, and the person next to him seemed to be really worried that he would doze off while driving, and there were obviously more words today.
"I raised a golden retriever, boy, too naughty, when I was a child, it was a trivial matter to bite my shoes, once I came home, the sofa turned into a pamukkale, the wooden shelves inside were bitten off, take it to the vegetable market, run with people's green onions, the taste is also quite strange, I love to eat raw cauliflower, it can gnaw half a watermelon in summer," Liu Mianmian shook his head with emotion: "The amount of food is amazing!" Gluttonous guy. Eat milk soaked dog food for dinner. She thought for a while and said, "I don't know what's going on lately, it's not very lively." ”
It was the life they longed for, a small home, where the poppies she liked were sown on the balcony, and some vigorous greenery was raised, a flower cat was drunk under the frame, a docile dog lay in the living room, and the hostess tied her hair haphazardly in the kitchen preparing dinner.
He and Liu Mianmian will have a daughter, wearing a pink gauze skirt, wearing a crown, and her father who is holding a magic wand pointing at the computer and happily says: "Use my magic to change, change, change!" ”
But all the magic of fairies, the validity period is always too short, love is shallow, and before the Wenzi period has time to work hard, the colorful bubble "snaps" and breaks. When I was young, even though my heart was higher than the sky, I didn't want to try it, but it was as funny as a clown climbing a ladder.
I think that the last three years of college were the happiest times in the Wenzi period, and he and Liu Mianmian were seen in almost every corner of the campus. The love when I was young, pure and impatient to give, never cared about gains and losses, but was afraid that I would not give each other enough and reconcile. The smell in the memories is always sweet and refreshing, thick but not rushing, like the faint fragrance of jasmine under the campus corridor, and there is no bitterness.
The swirling inky road is like a giant python, winding towards the top of the snow-capped mountain, the road is lined with snow, water and mud, and the sky is blue like a mirror, refreshing. Liu Mianmian couldn't help but open the car window, but the oncoming wind was not cold at all, but warm, and then looked back, behind him was the uninhabited mountains, undulating, and the wasteland somehow built rows of herringbone iron frames, which were abruptly lined with snow.
"There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening here, and the sun is drying at noon, so you don't need to wear cotton clothes, but it's so cold at night that you don't dare to go out." Wen Ziqi said to her on the steering wheel.
The car slowed down, and Liu Mianmian looked up to see the towering, imitation ridge style of the triangular gate, like a pine plank, the appearance of the dark coffee varnish, the middle of the gate above the four words "snowy capital" reflected impressively.
The gate was open, and they went straight in, turning left and entering, on the right was the natural ski slope down from the mountain, surrounded by a fence, separated by a four-meter-wide gravel road, and on the left was a rectangular three-storey wooden house, the first floor covered an area of about 3,000 square meters, the first floor was full of floor-to-ceiling windows, and the second and third floors were halal-style windows.
After parking the car, the two entered through the central glass door, the room felt a little hot, and the hall was lined with rows of wrought iron tables and chairs for four people, and against the wall were rows of iron-legged wooden shelves, where all kinds of ski equipment were placed, and the huge hall was only five or six people, which seemed empty.
Liu Mianmian followed Wenzi all the way, passed through the hall, and entered another door, which was another world. On the high bar on the left, there are a variety of wine bottles on the wine rack, the waiters are thin and tall, wearing casual white shirts, busy under their hands, raising their eyes and smiling politely to greet them, although the music is loud, it is not so noisy, there are a few laughing young men and women sitting on the sofa, and there are singers holding guitars and singing on the stage opposite.
Wen Ziqi stepped forward and didn't know what to say to the waiter, but after a while, a waitress came in, politely led them up the stairs from the corner, and after a few turns, they came to an orange private room.
The reason why it is orange is because the sofa, tablecloth, chair seats, and wallpaper in the private room are all orange, but fortunately, the floor tiles are retro Mediterranean-style lake blue. A rectangular wrought-iron dining table for four people, covered with orange linen tablecloths, and a pair of orange leather sofas on either side.
"Let's have lunch first, I guess you didn't eat breakfast." Wen Ziqi sat opposite, stretched and said: "You can ski here, and the downstairs is more lively at night, but it is not as good as the mainland, and there are fewer people." I remember you love to read, and there is a book bar on the second floor, and the matcha cake is well done. He raised his eyes to look at Liu Mianmian. He remembered that Liu Mianmian liked sweets. Sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour tenderloin, ice cream, strawberry omelets, cream cakes, and even White Rabbit toffee are her favorites. At that time, Wenzi accompanied her, and her stomach was sweet every day, so she always made some green tea in a cup, and in turn was laughed at by Liu Mianmian and old-fashioned.
"It seems that the most important task in the past few days is to eat," Liu Mianmian said with a smile: "Before I came, I only heard that it was cold, but I didn't hear that the food was hard, and I forgot to bring food tablets." ”
Wen Ziqi also smiled: "The people here are simple and simple, and the locals are hospitable, so I will do my best to invite you to eat a few meals with the friendship of half of the landlord, and you don't have to be polite." ”
In the past, he didn't eat much of Liu Mianmian's cooking, and the only daughter who was once pampered at home in her early twenties cooked for him every day, waiting for him to come home from work. Thinking about it, he was also a little charming at that time, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Wen Ziqi was worried that Liu Mianmian's stomach had not recovered, so he only ordered a few vegetarian dishes, and both of them ate noodle soup as their staple food. Outside the window is the ski resort, there are only four or five people in the big venue, Liu Mianmian looked at it at a glance, and saw a girl in red laughing and threw herself into the arms of the boy next to her, both of them fell into the snow and sat together~~
Spring is already blooming in the mainland in March, but it is still a kingdom of ice and snow.
Wen Ziqi suddenly raised his head and said to Liu Mianmian as if he thought of something: "Last year, a private theater was added here, how about watching a movie together?" ”
Thinking about it, Liu Mianmian happily agreed.
When I got to the room, Wenzi began to make difficulties, with the current relationship, the two can't always choose romance films, horror movies can't be, comedy films can't be found for a while I haven't seen or have a high rating, Wenzi period rummaged around and finally saw an Indian film "Mystery Superstar" that was released not long ago, with a score of 7.9, inspirational films, inspirational films are good, just watch inspirational films! He wiped the sweat from his forehead and regretted his proposal, this kind of private theater is mostly watched by lovers, what kind of fun is he making!
There is a semi-circular soft couch smaller than the bed and larger than the sofa, and there is a bird's nest-shaped hanging basket rattan chair next to the couch, and there is everything to eat and drink on the table, and the price is clearly marked.
Don't close the curtains!
Wenzi Qiwu opened a bottle of water and sat cross-legged on the rattan chair, while Liu Mianmian found a comfortable position to sit on the soft couch. Start watching movies in earnest.
The film is good, the hostess who is going out with her husband and son in the film changes into a silk wrap skirt that is almost watermelon red, and her husband orders her to wear a necklace. But not long ago, the necklace was sold for a computer for her daughter, and she said to her daughter in horror and despair: "I don't know either." ”
In the movie, the wife turned her head and saw her ghost-like husband standing behind the mirror, and Wen Ziqi obviously felt that the person on the couch was nervous.
In the movie, the husband pulls his wife with a face full of fear and despair, does not listen to his wife and daughter's explanation, takes off his coat, takes off his watch, and orders his daughter to take his son back to the house.
"Do you want your brother to watch too?" The husband said to his daughter.
Liu Mianmian subconsciously hugged the pillow, she didn't want to look any further, fear and anxiety swept through her body, at this moment Liu Mianmian felt numb in her hands and feet, her brain was blank, as if she was stuck in a swamp, she began to despair, struggling but weak, her body seemed to gradually slide down to an unknown abyss, her heart throbbed, she couldn't help but shrink.
"Smack!" In the movie, the husband sticks out a slap in the face;
Second,
Third,
The fourth... Accompanied by the cry of his wife, it was loud and crisp.
Liu Mianmian closed her eyes and clung to the pillow, she was so scared, her breathing began to be short, her heart beat faster, and she desperately resisted the urge to shed tears, but the tears had already flowed down.
Wen Ziqi realized that something was wrong with her, and hurriedly ran down: "Mianmian? ”
Wen Ziqi took a step closer and found that Liu Mianmian was shivering, so he wanted to reach out to shake her hand, but found that it was cold and abnormal.
"Mianmian, what's wrong with you?" Wen Ziqi was frightened by Liu Mianmian's appearance, and he was at a loss for a while, trying to grab her, but Liu Mianmian broke away: "Don't touch me!" Her trembling voice growled, "Turn off, turn off!" ”
"Good, good!" Because he was too nervous and worried, Wenziqi's hands also trembled.
"I have medicine in my bag, give it to me!" Liu Mianmian said anxiously.
Wen Ziqi hurriedly went to flip through it, and saw a white medicine bottle, estazolam tablets, turned her head to look at Liu Mianmian, she nodded with difficulty: "That's it!" ”
"How many?" Wen Ziqi said in a panic.
"Give it to me," Liu Mianmian snatched it and poured out two slices, tilted her head and poured it into her mouth: "Water!" ”
Wen Ziqi hurriedly handed it over.
She gulped, her heartbeat finally slowed down, her breathing was still short, she lay down by herself, and Wen Ziqi hurriedly took a pillow and put it under Liu Mianmian's head.
"Don't worry, don't be afraid, I'll rest, rest for a while, take a slow," Liu Mianmian tried to calm down, "Help me play some light music." ”
When the music sounded, Wen Ziqi didn't dare to speak, half-knelt beside the bed, staring nervously at Liu Mianmian.
After about an hour, she gradually calmed down, her eyes slowly and strugglingly opened, looking at the ceiling tiredly, and after a moment, Liu Mianmian struggled to sit up.
Wen Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief, and got up with difficulty and sat down next to her, his legs slightly sore.
"Drink water?" Wen Ziqi asked Liu Mianmian with red eyes and a hoarse voice.
She shook her head, suddenly reached out and touched Wen Ziqi's hot cheeks, and said in a slow, wind-chime-like voice, "Ziqi, I miss you very much." ”
Wenzi's brain was electric for a while, his throat was choking, but his heart was like five thunders, and his whole body, hands and feet seemed to be stunned like he didn't listen to the command.
The setting sun shines through the windows on the blue slump.
The culprit in front of him lightly opened his lips and said, "Let's chat, I have a lot to say to you." ”
Liu Mianmian lowered her head and hands as if she had done something wrong, straightened the hem of her clothes and continued: "I originally thought that you had any obligation to listen to my, but I felt that I could meet you here, maybe God gave me a chance to explain to you," she raised her eyes and looked at Wen Ziqi, bright and with a hint of begging: "You don't have to forgive me, just listen to a story." ”
