Chapter 14: The Red Rose

Nizi, who I haven't seen for a long time, is quite beautiful. No, the sun is shining charmingly on the elegant and charming beauty in front of her. She is exquisitely dressed, under an off-white brimmed hat, a face as bright as a peach blossom, and a pair of eyes that are looking forward to it. At this moment, wink at me, "Don't wink at me, I'll be blinded by you." I quipped Nizi and said, "It's been a long time, you're spotlessly beautiful, and I envy you." ”

I saw a peacock blue silk scarf with pink lace and many patterns half-draped on top of the off-white suit, how eye-catching this bright color is in this season! Straight legs, well-fitting beige trousers, and a pair of black half-heeled leather shoes with pointed toes. This dress is stunned to make the former "lazy worm" Nizi show a wisp of heroic and charming, and the natural charm of a woman is more and more unusual.

"Well, I said, you girl, you are getting better at dressing up. Tell me about the happy things that have happened to you lately, and let me be happy with you. I said eagerly.

"I'm not going to tell you. I specially took you out to eat today, the people take food as the sky, in addition to eating, one more thing is to hear what you want to say. Nizi said as she lowered her brimmed hat downward.

"Hehe, you're getting deeper and deeper, are you going to take me into the army? Okay, stay for a while and catch a place to talk, I'll shake off all my recent things with you, don't you feel annoyed? I said.

"Humph! If I find you annoying, I won't come to you. With my understanding of her, this sentence can be replaced with "You don't bother talking, who doesn't know whom" Hehe, it seems that this Nizi's mood has not been so smooth recently.

Nizi is skillful on the road with the steering wheel in her hands, and she drives like an old driver, but in fact, it doesn't take long to get her driver's license. Some things may be innate, since I was a child, Nizi was sensible earlier than me, although she was a year older than me, but the sensibility of sooner or later does not lie in age, especially in terms of emotional intelligence. For example, her wise words in elementary school, I am lively, cute, and proud, and I am loved, you don't understand! It's weird! Hehe, to this day, I don't understand why Nizi was able to understand these things when she was so old, but I have to admit it, it's cute, cute, so cute!

We went to the hotel and found a quiet corner to sit down. I was amazed by the warmth and romance of the hotel's dΓ©cor, with a large number of red roses filling the center of the circle between the windowsill and the tabletop, and at this time, the brilliant sunlight outside the window shone in, and the red roses appeared more and more vibrant and dazzling. The slender waiter wore her hair in the back of her head in the shape of a ball-headed head, and wore brightly colored cheongsams to walk through the roses, showing her slim and graceful shadow, as if she had stepped into someone's wedding scene.

"There are so many red roses here every day? How much this owner loves red roses! I said to myself.

"It's because I like red roses, that's why I come here so often, don't you remember that my house is full of red roses? Oh, by the way, you haven't been there since I moved, you haven't cleaned up yet, and I'll invite you to dinner one day. Nizi said.

"Oh! Of course I remember that you loved red roses, and when you were a kid you used to tell me on pictures that it was the legendary red rose. I said that Yueji must be the one who is related. It's just that our small county town is too small to sell. I said, "All of a sudden, I was a little stunned when I saw such a large patch of red roses." You don't say a word when you move, and call me for a favor. It's getting out of sight, you Nizi. ”

As I spoke, I unfolded the scarlet napkin and handkerchief on the plate, which was a little more red than the red rose in the center of the table. At this time, I was calculating in my heart that I hadn't seen Nizi for half a year, and I didn't hear her say about buying a house last time, so why did she suddenly move again, it seems that she has a lot of things to do.

"Since you are so free today, you specially invited me to dinner. Do you want to hear what I have to say, or do I just listen to it? I smiled and said, my eyes touching Niko's sleek black hair, which was as smooth as ice. Niko tossed her hair back, her hair was very good since she was a child, and it shone with a charming golden glow in the sun. It's just that at that time, she was playing wildly all day long, with short hair that was half long, and the old saying called that kind of hairstyle "stove pit door", compared to today's fashionable hairstyle, I think that hairstyle is still very attractive, just like Nizi's slightly long hair now, it doesn't lose its elegance. At that time, it was a luxury to be able to use a bottle of Seagull shampoo at home, and it is like you can make a hair mold or something now. Some women are born with a beautiful embryo, and they are all beautiful! For example, now, the beautiful woman in front of her, she has absolutely no plastic surgery, she has been so beautiful since she was a child. I'm a complete ugly duckling compared to her.

"Is this cute, is it a lovely place? Isn't it the people who come here who are more cute? Her voice was sweet and honey-like.

"Yes! It is your spring breeze and joy, let the red roses here wave goodbye to love, and never look back. I whispered. As he was talking, the sound of footsteps came from behind him, and the waiter brought the dishes. Oh, and even the outside of the plate is decorated with red rose petals, which is really beautiful and delicious, and it is truly a romantic occasion.

"I'm willing to listen to you, and you speak to my heart." Nizi then said, "Cheers! ”

"Good! Why did you order so many dishes, can we eat them? I said, "Look, how expensive does this have to be?" ”

"Let's go straight to the point, you just eat, we don't have to have a little bit of verbosity and nonsense." She said as she ate to herself.

"Got it, you Nizi, thank you!" I say.

I ate a plate of salt-baked shrimp with cheese in front of me, and it tasted really good. Hehe, Nizi just drank a glass of white wine, and her cheeks were red for a while, like a thick layer of rouge, and like a rose on her face.

"Oh, now your face is as red as those roses, and it's so beautiful." I say. "I wish I had answered your words. It's been so long, are you okay? Nizi replied to me and asked me how my life was.

"Thanks to you, the same old way." I say.

"Well, I know. Let some things blow like a gust of wind when they pass, and the wind that blows will not leave a trace, except in your heart, and as for those who do not care about your feelings, they will be regarded as a haze, which will dissipate sooner or later. Nizi glared at me and continued, "Your face is still the same, but you can see gray hair in the corner of your forehead, and you have to take care of yourself when you are old." ”

At this point, I stood up, shook off the food scraps that had fallen to the corner of my clothes, pulled the chair next to Niko, and sat down next to her. I grabbed Nizi's hand, don't look at the blushing, but the little hands are cold, Nizi has been afraid of the cold since she was a child, whether it is winter or summer, her hands and feet are always cold. I said, "Thank you, you have always been concerned about me, don't worry, I can take care of my own affairs." When life is so bad that it can't go on badly, that is, it's getting better and better, right? Come, come, come, the two of us have just eaten so much meat, let's taste the fruit on the table that has not yet been chopsticked. I've followed you to a lot of mouthfuls, which is better than when you got up early in the morning to copy your homework when you were in elementary school together, hehehe! "I laughed at Niko's embarrassing past, and I'm afraid I'll talk to her about it for the rest of my life. At this time, Niko's face swelled even redder.

"Oh, you're blushing like this, how are you driving?" I suddenly remembered this and asked.

"In a while, you take a taxi back first, I still have a friend here, I'll wait for him, he will drive." Niko said.

"Has anyone touched your heart lately? If there is, that's great! Tell me before I vote against it. I said.

Nizi raised her head, muttered for a long time, and just wanted to say something, but swallowed it raw again, and shook her head with a wry smile.

At noon, sitting in a taxi, I watched the traffic on the street, the flow of people, and the traffic surging rapidly, so fast that I was left far behind me even if I couldn't see clearly. Time flies so fast, Nizi and I are both in our early forties, and we don't have time to reminisce about the past, and the wheels of time will carry you to the distance with a bang.

But today, the lunch between the two of us was very good, to be honest, I feel that the chef of this restaurant is really good, if there is a regular price, I think, I will come often, why don't I like red roses and food? In this short time together, Nizi didn't reveal some things about her in the emotional world, in fact, this has always been my biggest concern, but it's hard to ask her.

People who know her always wonder why she hasn't married yet.

With her bright fibers, she was wrapped in a coat of vagueness by the idea that the world was full of shadows. She's so proud, she's so lovely. I've been proud of her cuteness countless times, and I still am. When she was a child, her proud little face was always raised high, so that she was slightly tanned by the sun, and she went to work without graduating from junior high school. At that time, it seemed that Nizi had grown into an adult overnight, and she was so envious that she couldn't do it. In retrospect, it was cruel to leave campus prematurely and integrate into society.

In her best years, when she was covered in the golden light of youth, Nizi fell in love. Of course, I didn't see that boy when I was studying abroad, so let's call him a handsome guy. I only came home later and heard my mother say it, and I didn't know the exact name. But after so many years, sometimes, I think Nizi is quite tendoned.

Alas, then again, who can say anything about fate? But there is one point, the person you met in the most ignorant cardamom years that makes your heart move, especially the first love, and the two loves, the two hearts, and suddenly were broken up alive, I think that even if this thing is replaced by someone, the heart of a lifetime of emotions ending in this will be there.

How could Nizi's mother be willing to marry such a cute baby to the countryside of another province? Depending on what you do to Nizi, the old lady will definitely have no way to fight with you!

Nizi's mother is unforgiving, and finally forced the two to reach a temporary breakup condition, and wait until Nizi's mother dies to renew their relationship.

Nizi did it, but the rural baby on the other side of the family took it upon themselves to order a family affair, and I heard that Nizi had learned a few words about it, and I didn't want to ask deeply, for fear of blocking Nizi, but it has been several years since this happened. Nizi said that on the night of the wedding cave, the groom was locked in the house by his parents, and the bride sat on the head of a pit with a large pit, and the groom faced the earthen wall at the end of the pit.

A red candle flickered brightly on the two newlyweds, in the silence the groom lit a cigarette, just took a puff, the bride at the head of the pit also made a cigarette, and did not find a lighter for a long time, at this time, want to ask the groom to borrow a fire? The groom instantly threw away the cigarette and trampled it out, and dragged the bride down from the pit, shouting, "Let you borrow fire, let you borrow fire, you borrow me!" The two of them tore up, and the bride's shouting and screaming invited all the people in Tunzi to watch the excitement. That's what Niko said.

I want to say that Nizi is sensible, but reason sometimes turns around and laughs at you, don't you think so? Attachment is a burden, and even more so, a suffering. I think people in the whirlpool of love have zero IQ, at least that's what I thought at the time. If it's really because you're too young to know anything, and the two of you can't finally make such a promise, how can you go back and hurriedly tie up such a so-called wedding without any happiness, not so much that Nizi's mother is reluctant to marry her daughter too far away and is worried about not agreeing to hold back the two of them, but rather your ambiguous attitude when family affection is mixed into love, and the promise you made is like a text written on the water, except for yourself, no one else can see it, and a gust of wind blows and takes it away. Can you say that you are very loyal to love, loyal to Niko? I can only tell myself in my heart that these thoughts are all in the past, so why should I say them to upset Nizi? In the world of feelings, why don't I suffer bitterly when I am reckless?

Oh! Love is always looking for the weakest heart to devour. Just like the sentence in the movie "Dream of the Covered Bridge": each of us lives in our own past, people will spend a minute to get to know someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to fall in love with someone, but in the end, it will take a lifetime to forget someone.
