It's been a long time since I've seen Xue Xinyan, and when she walks towards me with graceful steps, I feel as if I'm in a dream.

Xue Xinyan walked up to me, looked at me in surprise and said, "Xiaotao, uh, why are you here, who is she?" Your friend? ”

I hurriedly explained: "This is my friend, her name is Zhang Xueyao, I came to her house today, uh..."

"She came to my house to visit my parents, who are you?"

Zhang Xueyao swept away the aggrieved crying just now, and instantly turned into a deserving expression.

"Hello, my name is Xue Xinyan, I am Wang Tao's girlfriend, what does it mean to visit your parents, can you explain?"

Xue Xinyan asked Zhang Xueyao very politely.

Seeing this, I hurriedly said: "That's the case, she begged me to do her a favor, and came to her house, Xinyan, why are you here, didn't you say that you would come tomorrow, why didn't you tell me when you came, I didn't prepare anything." ”

Xue Xinyan stared at Zhang Xueyao for a while, and then turned her gaze to her face.

"What's wrong with your face?"

She stretched out her slender hand and stroked my cheek and gauze, her face full of distress.

I smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not a big problem, if you scratch it, it won't leave a scar, you haven't answered me yet, why are you here." ”

At this time, the domineering president walked over with a graceful demeanor, very aura, he stood beside Xue Xinyan and asked softly, "Xinyan, do you know them?" ”

I saw that this man was very close to Xinyan, and I was very unhappy, so I said a little angrily: "Who are you, Xue Xinyan is my girlfriend." ”

Xue Xinyan explained with a smile after hearing this: "Xiaotao, you are too sensitive, this is Du Chenyu, the head of my mother's company, my mother knew that I was going to come to this city to see you, so she obstructed me in every possible way, and sent someone to keep an eye on me, thanks to Chenyu, I came here, this is Chenyu's sister's residence, he drove me here to live, don't think about it." ”

Xinyan shouted one by one, I am not angry, this noble lady is really vicious, she even sent someone to spy on her daughter, damn, what age is it to block the love of young people, I want to see what other means this old witch has.

I grabbed Xinyan's hand and said, "Are you having a hard time over there, has your mother embarrassed you, if you don't want to stay there, come to my side." ”

Xue Xinyan looked at me with love on her face like a mature sister, she smiled and said, "Xiaotao, don't worry about me, I'm fine over there, but you, how are you now, have you suffered a lot." ”

Zhang Xueyao saw that the two of us were cold and gentle, and her affection was lingering, so she shouted angrily: "Don't sprinkle dog food here, it's really an eyesore, hum." ”

After finishing speaking, he went straight to get the puppet, and Du Chenyu also said softly: "Xinyan, since you have found someone, then don't bother my sister." ”

Xue Xinyan hurriedly apologized and said, "Thank you, Brother Du, for helping me again and again, I don't know how to repay you." ”

Du Chenyu still had the face of a domineering president, and he said with a serious face: "There are only three days to take you out this time, and you have to go back no matter what, otherwise I won't be able to deal with your mother." ”

I seemed to have a feeling that the Cowherd saw the Weaver Girl, so I asked Du Chenyu with a puzzled face: "Why is my own girlfriend dating me, there is still a time limit." ”

I didn't expect him to ignore me and walk towards the eye-catching Lamborghini.

I felt like I had been poured a bucket of cold water, and I was very unhappy, Xue Xinyan held my hand and said, "Don't be angry, Brother Du is that kind of character, and he is very good." ”

I thought to myself, this person must like Xinyan, otherwise he wouldn't have treated me coldly, Xinyan is the daughter of the boss of a listed company, he has 10,000 reasons to pursue her, and I am a poor boy who is not even stable at work, this is not contrasting at all, no wonder the lady always counts me in various ways, ridicules me, and prevents Xinyan from seeing me, for good reasons, and what is unbalanced in my own psychology, since ancient times, I have paid attention to the right family and marriage matching, but I do love Xinyan, no matter who comes, I can't stop me.

I hugged Xue Xinyan tightly into my arms, the mint fragrance on her body was very fresh, I buried my head in her neck and took a deep breath, it smelled so good, how long had I not hugged her.

Xue Xinyan whispered, "Did you drink?" ”

"Well, drank a little"

"With whom?"

"Zhang Xueyao's father"

"What is that girl looking for you to help her?"

"Pretend to be a boyfriend, otherwise her parents will let her go on a blind date"

Xue Xinyan pushed me away, raised her head and looked at me and said, "Why are you still the same as when you were in school, you will agree to whatever others ask you to do, why don't you refuse this kind of thing, where did you put me?" ”

I saw that Xinyan's beautiful face was slightly flushed, her clear and bright eyes were a little complaining, and her charming and seductive red lips were slightly curled, looking very cute, but she was angry with me at this time.

I hurriedly explained: "Xinyan, don't you know what kind of person I am, I have always put you first in my heart, I will not mess with flowers, let alone deceive you, betray you, I won't do that kind of thing, I'm soft-hearted, I'm embarrassed to refuse when others ask me, in fact, this kind of thing is also a matter of effort, and I won't lose anything, don't be angry, I promise not to take it as an example." ”

I coaxed for a long time before Xue Xinyan's face returned to her usual innocent smile, and I took her hand, walked out of the underground parking lot, and came to a nearby square.

The square was brightly lit, the fountains were like willows, and the water was blowing in my face, and I felt a sense of refreshment, and there were very few people walking in the square, and a few young couples held hands and whispered in a corner of the square.

I looked at Xue Xinyan walking beside me, full of joy, no matter how long it has been, she is still the girl who can make my heart move and have pity, I am just an ordinary man, I am very content with my love, I am willing to guard her for the rest of my life, like a collector, guarding the touching of my years.

I suddenly remembered Wang Feng's "Bright":

When the ashes seal the eaves of the frost, when the chrysanthemum grass turns into late autumn dew.

I made a bag out of stubborn withered vines and went to a thorny land.

Maybe the melancholy of being lost will tear my steps apart, but I believe that the future will give me a pair of wings for dreams.

How much in line with myself at this moment, from the moment I stepped on the train, I was destined for this bumpy life, but fortunately I still have Xinyan, this girl who guided me forward when I lost my way, gave me strength in my deep darkness, and soothed my scars when I was in pain, what reason do I have not to love her and protect her.

In the luxurious room, I once again felt her body temperature, which was as intoxicating, nostalgic and inextricable as it was back then.

The most important woman in my life, lying in my arms and asleep, like a docile cat, she seemed to be very haggard, lacking the laughter and pleasure of the small town, and more decisive and resolute, but it was only in front of outsiders, in front of me she was still the shy, kind, restrained girl, maybe this time by the side of the noble lady, the old witch is the best in the business world, of course, she will transform her daughter into a future victorious general.

I looked at her affectionately, her eyes were full of love, her white and tender cheeks were full of red rhyme, and from time to time she pursed her lovely thin lips, I lowered my head uncontrollably and kissed her forehead, at this moment I am very satisfied, life is proud, beautiful companionship, my most beloved woman in my arms, what are the bumps and fetters that can't go through.

I looked out the window, the sky was far away, the stars were twinkling, and the crescent moon hung in the night, exuding a cold silver glow.

I looked down at Xue Xinyan again, thinking to myself, wouldn't it be beautiful if fate gave me such a lifeless and tranquil and natural.

I often complain, cynical, uphold justice, uphold fairness, especially my lost eight years, but now think about how naïve my complaints are, fate is fair, when you wake up in a dream, with your beloved woman company, with that tough and healthy parents to love, such a life is not complete, people often hollow out their minds to find happiness, but do not know what happiness is, just like the three-eyed leopard in "Passing by New York", the happiness in its eyes is to climb the snow-capped mountains of Kilimanjaro, There is the truth and freedom it wants, but when it comes to the last strength of life, how can it be satisfied?

The sky will break, the night will turn white, and I slowly fall asleep in that ethereal thought.

The next day, I slept until 10 o'clock and woke up, but Xue Xinyan was gone, I climbed out of bed in a panic, put on my clothes, took out my mobile phone and dialed Xue Xinyan's number.

As soon as the phone was dialed, Xue Xinyan came back, carrying some fruits and breakfast in her hand, and said with a smile: "Lazy pig, wake up." ”

I hurriedly said, "Why are you going, why don't you wake me up." ”

"I see that you are sleeping very deeply, I can't bear to wake you up, I went out and bought you something to eat, after eating, go to your residence to have a look, and just visit the scumbag you often say."

"Well, the scumbag brother is not at home during the day, if you look for him, you have to go to the flea market, he is a person who makes money, and he comes back late every day."

After hearing this, Xue Xinyan said thoughtfully: "Then go to your residence and take a look at the head office, and see how sloppy you are when you are out by yourself, hehe." ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "The place where I live is an ordinary basement, and I like that yard a lot, where I can cook and do laundry, and there is a big tree." ”

"Well, you should eat this breakfast quickly, otherwise it won't taste good when it gets cold in a while."

"You eat with me, I can't eat so much."

She looked at me dotingly, smiled and said, "Okay, Prince Wang, I'll accompany you to dinner once." ”

After we finished our meal with a smile and a quick wash, I took a taxi to my accommodation.

She walked into the yard and said excitedly: "This yard is very similar to the farmhouse courtyard in our small town, giving people a refreshing feeling, huh?" That's what you're talking about. ”

I smiled and nodded, and she was bouncing around her back, curious about everything, like a little girl who came out to blow up.

I took her into the basement again, and as soon as she came in, she covered her nose, frowned and said, "Why is it so big about alcohol, do you drink every day?" ”

I smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, it's usually hot, so I'll drink some beer with the scumbag brother to cool off, there is no air conditioning here, and the night is very stuffy." ”

Xue Xinyan looked at my bed again, the futon was still clean, she saw a pile of empty cigarette boxes under the bed, so she counted them and said, "Can't you usually smoke less?" ”

I laughed and joked, "Every night in the dead of night, only smoking can get rid of my thoughts about you." ”

She gave me a blank look and said, "Flim, make excuses for yourself." ”

After looking around again, she said to me, "Don't live here, let's find an apartment, the conditions there are relatively better than here." ”

I thought to myself, why don't I want to live in an apartment building, but I have been cheated out of money, and the money I have saved in the past few months is not enough for rent, but I can't tell her that I have been deceived, and she will worry with me.

I comforted her and said, "It's also very good here, I'm very reluctant to this place now, and I still have a scumbag brother with me every day, and I'm not lonely." ”

Xue Xinyan didn't listen to a word, she said directly to me: "No, you can't live in this place, it's dark and damp, and you don't see the sun, in case you get rheumatism, it's too late, you come all the way here, get a rheumatoid leg, old and cold, it's not worth it, I'll accompany you to find a house in the afternoon." ”

I know that Xue Xinyan can't see me suffering and suffering, and her tough attitude of helping me rent a house has touched me a lot, but I can't spend her money, I'm a very thin person, although sometimes I hate myself too, but how can I use her money.

After hearing this, I hurriedly said to her: "Xinyan, I know that you are for my good, but I live very comfortably here, I will have no companion when I leave, and he still expects me to wholesale clothes with him, I really can't move, don't worry about me, I will naturally look for you if I have difficulties." ”

After Xue Xinyan heard this, she fell into deep thought, and when I saw that she was silent, I said, "Let's go and sit in the courtyard, it's too dark here." ”

She sat on the bench in the yard, I helped her peel an apple, she said while eating: "Xiaotao, why don't you come with me to live over there, or have a care, I don't want to see you suffer now, or I can go back to the northern city with you, Xiao Qing's mother has been calling me and saying that the kindergarten children miss me very much, I really want to go back and see." ”

I thought to myself, I came to this city to leave my own small city, and I definitely can't go back at present, as for Xue Xinyan's city, I still want to go, but after all, her mother is over there, when I think of the noble lady's horizontal eyebrows and disdain, I am disgusted, and if I come to her side, Xue Xinyan will inevitably take care of me in every way, and then her mother will definitely say more: Look, this wine bag and rice bag, nothing has been done, nothing has been done, and it is really shameless to expect my daughter to feed.

Every time I think of this, I retreat, I would rather work alone in this city than let the old witch laugh, although I can't stay with Xinyan every day, but with that missing, the pace of my struggle will speed up a lot.

I took Xue Xinyan's hand and said, "Xinyan, as long as you are having a good time, don't worry about me all the time, I can't go to your side for the time being, you have to understand me." ”

Xue Xinyan looked at me for a while, then nodded slightly.

I dragged her around the nearby park again, and in the afternoon I went to the cinema to watch a horror movie, which scared her into my arms with her eyes closed, and I laughed, as if all the unhappiness between heaven and earth had gone with the wind.

Brother Scumbag came back in the evening, and he knew that Xinyan was coming today, so he carried a large bag of seafood and beer.

Xinyan greeted Brother Scum very politely: "Brother Scum, I'm Xue Xinyan." ”

When the scumbag brother saw it, he smiled and said: "Yo, this girl looks like a fairy, she is ashamed of flowers in the closed moon, and she sinks fish and geese." ”

A few of us burst out laughing.

Brother Slag was busy in the yard, Xue Xinyan and I were washing crabs and clams in the sink, due to the large number of people, everyone was busy together, so it didn't take half an hour to start eating, I put a small square table in the courtyard, took a few cups, took the beer out of the cold bucket, opened it with a bottle driver, handed a bottle to Brother Scum, and Brother Slag grabbed it and drank half a bottle.

Xue Xinyan was dumbfounded, and I smiled and said, "Brother scumbag has always been like this when he drinks, and he is also very refreshing, uh, do you want Xinyan to drink a bottle too..."

Xue Xinyan said boldly: "When you come to such a passionate wine table, there is no reason not to drink. ”

After saying that, I covered my mouth and smiled, I thought to myself, it is rare to sit with Xinyan for dinner today, I am very happy, so I handed her a bottle of beer.

The garlic clams and steamed crabs made by Brother Slag are particularly appetizing, and even Xue Xinyan gave a thumbs up and praised them.

The wine table was staggered, and the scumbag brother entered the state, and she had been mentioning her son and wife who were far away in her hometown, she said with some sadness: "When his wife married him, her parents did not agree to live or die, and threatened me that as long as my wife married, they would immediately cut off the father-son relationship with my wife. ”

What Brother Scumbag said was deep and sad, Xue Xinyan held her chin with her hands, her cheeks flushed, and she listened carefully.

Brother scumbag lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and continued: "When my wife first got married, her parents never came to my house, every time I went to visit them, they ignored them, I was very sad, and later, in order to give my wife and son better living conditions, I came to the south alone. ”

Xue Xinyan and I toasted him a glass of wine, he drank it with a coo, put down the wine bottle, he burped a long wine, looked at the two of us and said: "When young people fall in love, they can't be confused by anything, even if they are stopped by their parents, as long as the two of them truly love each other and share weal and woe, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome." ”

Brother Scumbag said a lot that night, and it was also very rare, he rarely talked to me about his past, he just wanted to warn the two of us, if the relationship between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight.

Xue Xinyan squeezed with me on the bed in the basement that night, her face was full of happiness and satisfaction, and the scumbag brother's snoring was still so deafening, one after another, I hugged her softly, and in half sleep, I found the direction and goal again.
