Chapter 252: "Straight (3)"
"Laughing at what?"
He was dissatisfied, "Others have to make an appointment with the secretary's office four weeks in advance, and they may not be able to make an appointment." β
She resigned herself to her fate: "Okay, Mr. Yi, Miss Lin of the Lin family has an appointment with you for lunch today." β
They went to the western restaurant that the two of them frequented the most to eat seafood.
They rarely see each other at noon, and under the bright sun, both of them are in a much better mood. He was looking for her for something, and she knew.
"What the hell happened to you in the morning?"
The sunlight shining in from the glass window also seemed to be transparent, the white wine in the goblet was crystal clear, and her mood was just as bright: "I said it's okay, when did you get up like this?" β
He snorted and said, "The dog bites Lu Dongbin!" β
He's always been busy at noon, and he must have put down his date to meet her today.
Her heart was soft and leaven, like a pudding in a small saucer, trembling gently.
She asked, "Who were you going to eat with at noon?" β
He asked alarmedly, "What are you asking for?" β
She smiled, "I want to compare the weight I have in your mind." β
He smiled, revealing a mouthful of thin white teeth: "Then wouldn't you be happy that I said that it was the mayor?" β
She raised her head and smiled: "Why don't you say it's the president of the United States?" Then I'll be happier. β
Speaking of jokes, the two of them relaxed again, the sun was too good, the cars and pedestrians outside were in a hurry, and they were going their separate ways under the big sun, she liked to watch such lively and irrelevant things.
The coffee came up, steaming hot, and she took a sip, it was so hot that it burned the tip of her tongue.
"Is there anything going on at night?" As he spoke, he took a sip of coffee, frowned, and thought that it was also hot, so he looked at her when he put it down, "Why don't you say it, it's so hot." β
She turned her face away from laughing, and he said, "I really don't understand you, I shed tears inexplicably in the morning, and I keep laughing at noon, I don't know what I'm happy about." β
She still laughed, and finally he laughed: "Hey, do you have an appointment at night, and if not, accompany me to dinner." β
She deliberately frowned: "Eat together at noon, and still together at night?" β
He tried to tug at the corners of her mouth, but she turned her face away.
So close, you could see that he had an impeccably perfect face, not a single beard, only a faint aroma of tobacco and shaving water.
He muttered as if to himself: "They have long told me that a woman must not be spoiled, and if she is spoiled, she will be pampered and proud." β
Her heart was bubbling like soda, some sour, some sweet, rising up, sullenly rising in her chest, with an indescribable feeling.
She turned her face away and looked at the street again, the sun was full of broken gold, and the street was bustling, in the words of the ancients, "the car is like flowing water and the horse is like a dragon", irrelevant and lively, but she is happy when she looks at it.
When she turned her head, she happened to see a father and daughter.
His father wore a suit and leather shoes, and Lin Zi seemed to have seen it in a certain financial magazine, and he was a famous business tycoon.
Sitting in front of him was a little girl, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
The other party pulled the man to be coquettish, what to say, Lin Zi didn't listen carefully, but it could be seen that the man doted on his daughter very much, took out a thick pile of checks from the bag next to him, wrote down a few numbers and tore it to her.
She suddenly remembered the past time, in the year of her joint entrance examination, her father was also busy and did not take care of himself, in his office, on the desk, her father wrote a check to himself, telling him to go to the classmates to play.
Yi Zhen had a party in the evening, she ate casually by herself, and went out shopping.
Yi Zhen has often taken her to various events recently, and he always dislikes his lack of clothes, so Lin Zi took this opportunity to buy himself several sets of clothes.
When I went to the men's clothing store, I saw the tie and bought another one for Yi Zhen.
Large bags of stuff were piled up in the back seat of her car, and she drove back in high spirits like a big purchase a year ago or Christmas.
When I got downstairs, there were too many things to hold, hooking, carrying, holding, and holding those paper bags, and struggling to get the keys at the door. Before she touched the key, the paper bag fell to the ground, and she didn't get angry, she grimaced at herself, still smiled, and squatted down to pick it up.
was picking it up, but the door opened, and she looked up to see that Yi Zhen was at home.
She smiled and said, "Didn't you say something? Why did you disperse so early today? β
Without saying a word, he turned and went in.
She hurriedly picked up her things and walked in, put those big bags and small bags on the low table, changed her slippers again, and said with a smile: "I made a good purchase today." β
Suddenly he wondered, "What's wrong with you?" β
Yi Zhen sat on the sofa, did not speak, and did not move. She walked over, only then did she smell the smell of alcohol on him, and hurriedly said, "Why did you drink so much?" β
"Didn't drink much." His voice was muffled, as if he weren't very happy.
She had never seen him drunk and didn't know what to do, and asked, "Is it uncomfortable?" Would you like to make you a cup of tea? As he asked, he went to turn on his headlights.
"Shut it up!" He suddenly shouted loudly, which startled her, and quickly turned off the light again, and in the faint light of the wall lamp, both of them froze there, like two stone statues.
Finally, she turned around: "I'll go put water in the water and bathe you." β
He grabbed her hand at once: "Lin Zi! β
Pull her into his arms, hoop and kiss.
"You've really drunk too much." She struggled, "Let go and let me go and release the water." β
He refused to listen, but tied her tighter, saying, "You want to strangle me?" β
He didn't care, he pushed her into the couch, as if he wanted to squeeze her into the couch.
She panicked: "What are you doing drunk! β
He didn't speak anyway, the two of them twisted together, one accidentally fell off the sofa, her head hit the corner of the coffee table, and it hurt so much that her eyes were black, she said "ouch", he finally let go.
She pressed her head with her hand and looked at him indignantly, but he smiled: "Really bumped? Let me see. β
Not knowing if he was really drunk or what, she walked away and sat down away from him.
He walked over slowly, put his arms around her from behind, wrapped his hands around her neck, and rested his chin on her head: "Is it stupid?" β
His breath was spraying in her ears, hot and tickling, and she said, "Go take a bath, smell of wine." β
He smiled, his body trembled because of this laughter, for some reason, his laughter tonight always made Lin Zi feel creepy, and she was actually scared.
Slowly, he grabbed her neck with a pair of hands: "I said I didn't drink much." β
Her breathing became difficult: "What are you doing, trying to strangle me?" β
He didn't speak, but he let go of his hand suddenly, and the personable Yi Zhen came back, and his laughter was calm and bright again: "I seem to have drunk too much, you can help me peel a willow ding." β
He likes to eat liuding, and he doesn't like to cut it out or cut it, and always has to be peeled.
She went to the kitchen refrigerator and took a few willow dices out to peel them for him, the skin was too thick, she had to cut her mouth first, and as soon as she had a mouth, it was easy to peel it, and the sour willow cloves spread in the room.
In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Zi finished his errands early and drove to his sister-in-law's house.
This sister-in-law is her father's sister, but she has never had much to do with her family.
This time it was her cousin's birthday, and she didn't want to go, but yesterday, her cousin came to look for her, and she couldn't pull it off, so she had to go.
When I was shopping yesterday, I bought gifts for my cousin and brought gifts for my sister-in-law and their family.
After all, it's embarrassing to go empty-handed.
Before the car could stop at the foot of the steps, my cousin came out of the living room, "My sister is here." β
The cousin also ran out, and it seems that everyone is waiting for her alone.
She smiled apologetically, "I've just gotten off work." β
So she asked the maid to carry the paper bag from the cart for her.
At this time, the sister-in-law was also standing at the door, and said a little sneeringly: "Xiaozi is here?" β
She laughed and called out with a complacent look: "Sister-in-law." β
He also said: "I have to forget my cousin's birthday, I have been so busy for a while that I rarely come home." β
When he entered the house to speak, the maid also brought in all those things, and Lin Zi explained them one by one: "This is for my cousin, this is for my cousin, sister-in-law, this is for you." β
The family happily opened the gifts, talked and laughed, and then it became lively, and everyone had a reunion dinner with Meimei.
This kind of harmonious and beautiful atmosphere has always brought her back.
It was late when she went back, and Yi Zhen also went back, busy under the lamp in the study.
She poked her head out of the study, but he didn't see it, so she knocked on the door.
"Come in." Still absent-minded, as if in the tone of the office.
She coughed deliberately and called, "Mr. Yi." β
He agreed casually, and then he reacted, raised his head to look at her and smiled: "Back?" β
In order to avoid suspicion, she easily did not enter his study, not to mention that he was working overtime to do official work now, so she only stood at the door and asked: "What did you eat at night, are you hungry now, do you want me to get you some supper?" β
"No need. I have a lot of things to do today, you don't have to wait for me, go to sleep first. β
He lowered his head again, and there was a spotlight on the desk, and the white light made his silhouette blade as if it were carved into the white background.
She woke up in the morning and realized that he hadn't slept all night.
When he walked to the study, the computer was still on, and there were materials spread out on the table, and he leaned in the chair with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was asleep or recuperating.
She turned around and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of milk, and he really didn't fall asleep, and when he heard the footsteps, he opened his eyes and frowned: "Milk? β
"I know you don't like it, but there's nothing in the fridge, and you can't drink coffee on an empty stomach."
"It's only for kids." He stretchedβonly halfway, and then lowered his hand, he was too polite to lose his temper in such a situation.
He said, "I have a heart, drink it." I made an appointment to play ball. β
