When I returned to the hotel, I sent a WeChat message to my mother, saying that I went to live at a friend's house, and my mother gave me a serious criticism and education, what to be wise and self-protecting, not to come nonsense, what to treat people humblely, to restrain temper, what to cherish the body, health is a blessing and so on.

In fact, the guilt hidden in my own heart has only increased a lot, during the Spring Festival, I only lived at home for two nights, and the rest of the time was moved out to accompany Wang Ling, this is an underground love affair that cannot be picked out clearly, although the friends around me have already understood, but I don't want to involve my family, including Qin Tong and Brother Scum, they hate me the most like a scumbag who is looking for flowers and asking willows, and is not familiar with the world.

She was still so uninhibited, like a wild horse that had taken off the leash, galloping to her heart's content, and the rapid gasping and sweaty body fragrance filled the whole room with her smell.

The bedside lamp emitted a warm hue, laying a golden glow on my face and hers, her thin lips slightly open, her expression soothing, as if she had arrived in heaven, where the breeze was clear, the sun was shining, where spring and scenery were bright, and the sky was shining up and down, and I was hovering on the edge of hell, and the more she showed intoxication and indifference, the deeper the sin in my heart became.

Late at night, the street lamps were hanging, the streets and alleys were lonely, in this hotel, Wang Ling panted and shrunk in my arms, as if she was whispering, and as if she had fallen asleep, I raised my eyebrows, took a cigarette and said, "After dawn, I will go home and pack my luggage." ”

She twisted, looked up, and said, "You're going back?" ”

I took a puff of cigarette and didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

She scratched my chest with her fingernails and whispered, "Are you in such a hurry to go back?" It's good to wait until the fifteenth day of the first month, and if you go back now, the renovation workers may not necessarily go to work. ”

"Sun Kai, they already know the relationship between you and me, if you don't leave now, I'm afraid that there will be many dreams at night, and it will be difficult to end up with the spread to my parents."

I pursed my lips, snuffed out my cigarette, and glanced down at her, only to see her pouting and a look of grievance.

I sighed, looked at her and said: "Besides, go back early, it should be you who is happy, you will run out on Chinese New Year's Eve, you will not think about your father, all year round, the family will get together during the Spring Festival, after you go back, you will also accompany him more, so as not to worry about you again." ”

Wang Ling pinched my belly lightly, and said angrily: "You are talking more and more like my father now." ”

"Then what should I say, to let you stay here and never go back?"

I pinched her smooth and soft cheeks and said with a smirk.

She said seriously: "I really hope so, this small town is also quite good, you can build a villa in the suburbs, buy a very big yard, plant flowers and trees in it, raise two big dogs, and live a carefree life, isn't it also good." ”

I laughed dryly twice and teased: "Yo, you really want to come out of it, I remember you said before that you wanted to go to the sea to drift, watch the sunrise and sunset, see the clouds and clouds, you have such a mind, then this small city will not meet your appetite, I am right." ”

She glared at me and said coquettishly, "Isn't your home here, do you like to live in the basement?" ”

"Haha, it's not that I like to live, the key is Xinyan her..."

Realizing that I was open-mouthed and moved Xinyan out on this occasion, it was really stupid to smoke, I changed my words and said unhurriedly: "The key is that you can't live in the basement for the rest of your life, no matter where you go, you have to have a nest first, right?" ”

She snorted, broke free from my arms, pulled the quilt over, and turned sideways.

"Hey, what are you doing inexplicably?"

I sat up, scratched my hair, and saw her back as if she was sleeping, and I had a trace of the idea of marrying her home, but only for a moment, I woke up, there will always be a result, no matter whether it is right or wrong, no matter what the result is, we must have a purpose, face it calmly, and know that I am going farther and farther on the wrong road, and getting deeper and deeper, but I have never calmed down and understood this messy feeling.

I pulled the quilt over, got in, hugged her and said, "Give me a little more time, I'll have to go back and solve a lot of things." ”

Wang Ling pillowed my arm and murmured, "I hope so." ”

I felt a palpitation in my heart, blinked my eyes and said, "Are you particularly disappointed in me, have you ever regretted it from beginning to end?" ”

She turned around, shrunk into my arms and said: "From the moment you jumped off the river bridge and fished me out of the water, I don't understand what regret is, you are kind-hearted, easy-going, you can't see others hurt, emotionally, you are in a dilemma, you are in prison, in your career, you..."

She paused, and I was a little surprised, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with your career?" ”

"I don't know anything about my career, after all, the store hasn't opened yet."

She muttered.

"And what do you think of the future?"

In fact, no one has a clear answer to this question, business is to be painstakingly operated, not hearsay, sit and collect money, Wang Ling pondered for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "The prospects of the clothing industry are still good, the key is that you have to grasp the hearts of consumers and the fashion trend, the early publicity work must be in place, and some money still has to be spent." ”

She pursed her lips and added: "It's best to endorse a brand of clothing, so that the advantages will be more obvious." ”

I don't seem to understand what I heard, I feel that I have opened a store rashly, it is indeed a bit hasty, Wang Ling has her own unique views in this regard, I am very pleased, not so much that she is a variety of elves, but that she is a living treasure with a lot of ghost ideas.

The twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, the skyscrapers with glass curtains, the ancient churches and the long bluestone alleys, are tightly intertwined in the darkness, and the breath of the Dutch colonies in the sixteenth century is lightly exhaled, and the night outside the window is getting deeper and deeper, unfathomable, like a black ocean.

In the night, the metropolis quietly hides its charm in the sun, densely hidden in every corner of the streets and alleys, particularly deep and attractive, and the little lights on the buildings seem to be the reflection of the starry sky, which makes people dizzy after looking at it for a long time.

Xue Xinyan sat at the desk, looking at the night for a while, looking at the miscellaneous books in front of her, after more than two hours, the thick and solid books, lying honestly, did not flutter a page, as if she was asleep, Xue Xinyan stared at it with her eyes open, but she didn't see anything.

She rubbed her fluttering eyelids, sighed lightly, and was just about to stand up, when the noble lady walked in lightly, she held a fruit bowl with a watermelon cut into cubes, put it on the desk and said, "Xinyan, what's wrong with you, your face is so bad, are you not feeling well?" ”

After speaking, she put her hand on Xinyan's forehead and took her temperature.

Xinyan turned around and said lightly: "I'm fine, but I'm very irritable, when will we go back to China?" ”

"Homesick? You're still young, isn't life the same everywhere? ”

She took Xinyan's hands, sighed and said, "Daughter, you have to grow up as soon as possible, your mother can't be by your side forever." ”

Xue Xinyan pursed her lips, pulled out her hands and said, "Your body is so tough, why do you always say this?" ”

She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the night scene of the lower city of New York, under the street lamp, two stray dogs patrolled around the garbage can, several young people passed by, bent down to pick up two stones, smashed on the head of a stray dog, let out two terrible screams, and then got into the night with their tails between their legs, the young people laughed, cheered, roared, as if they had done a great thing that shocked the world and cried ghosts and gods.

Xue Xinyan frowned, turned around and said, "I want to return to China tomorrow." ”

The lady hurriedly came over and said, "Daughter, what are you doing when you go back now, the country is during the Spring Festival, and we can celebrate the festival here, right..."

She took a step forward, looked at Xue Xinyan and said, "Is it because you miss that kid?" ”

Xinyan didn't talk, just sighed, walked to the desk and sat down slowly.

The lady rolled her eyes and whispered: "Mom didn't mean to oppose you two, from the very beginning of that kid's appearance, I saw through his fancy thoughts, thief eyebrows, ignorance of the world, and even more annoying is that he always puts on an expression of who else is me, he thinks it is true love?" Hmph, it's ridiculous, a hundred of him can't buy my daughter's noble background. ”

"Did you say enough?"

Xue Xinyan rubbed her eyelids again, she was upset and anxious at this time, this inexplicable depression began to appear before the Spring Festival, and it was not until today that she felt that it was time to return to China.

The lady stroked her hair and said sharply: "Daughter, what my mother said to you, even if you listen to it for half a minute, you will not be as depressed and worried as now, my mother has such a big family business, and she has to manage a group company, and I will be buried in the loess in the future, what should you do?" ”

She said in a voice full of emotion, choked up, walked to Xue Xinyan's side, and continued to lament: "So you don't want to be in the girl's heart, what is the most important thing in this society now?" Is it your physiognomy or your academic qualifications? ”

Xue Xinyan glanced at her, like a fish in her throat.

"It's money, we live a rich life, food and clothing, even if you don't like to manage the company, I can find a team of professional managers to take over, but you have to understand that the reason why we are generous is because we have strong financial resources to support it, but what does that kid have? Even if he had the same outstanding talent, I wouldn't turn him down. ”

The lady sat down on the chair in front of the desk, paused and said: "The ancient Roman philosopher, little Seneca said, if a person does not know which dock he is going to, then any wind will not be a tailwind, such a straightforward word, is the best evaluation of him, although now do not pay attention to the right person, talented and beautiful, everyone has the right to fall in love, that is an inalienable right, but you can't blindly look for it, you have to keep your eyes open, ask yourself, all this is worth it, pay so much, what can you get back." ”

She took a piece of watermelon on the fruit plate, walked to Xue Xinyan, handed it to her and said: "Mom is just such a baby daughter as you, I am afraid that it will melt in the palm of my hand, after you get married, my mother will be reluctant in every way, I hope you can be happy and can live happily, if you find a husband who is looking for flowers and willows, and is not doing his job, how can you let me live?" ”

"He's not that kind of person, he's very simple, although he's usually a little stubborn, but he's not bad."

Xue Xinyan took the watermelon, glanced at the noble lady, and then put it back on the fruit bowl.

The lady rubbed her hair, revealing a doting look on her face, she was really old, her body was bloated, her cheeks were gray, she was once the unstoppable, domineering lady, at this time she was a little powerless, she only hoped that Xinyan could be more mature, understand the world, measure people's hearts, don't let this endless lingering become her fetters.

Xue Xinyan leaned back in the chair, rubbed her temples, and whispered: "No matter what, I have to return to China, this is not my hometown, I am afraid I will not be able to attend your wedding with Professor Fan." ”

At the mention of Professor Fan, the noble lady's expression was slightly relaxed, she stood up, walked to the door of the study, turned around and said, "You insist on going back, I won't stop you, but I still say the same thing, don't mess with that kid, my mother is a person who has come over, and I can see this aspect more thoroughly than you." ”

Xue Xinyan's eyes were slightly closed, she sighed softly, the crystal chandelier flickered with a cold light, and a few rays of light scattered down, enveloping Xue Xinyan's cheeks, adding a bit of desolation to her loneliness and sadness.

My car drove in front, Wang Ling followed, this time to go, the two of us were very well prepared, my mother cooked a lot of tea eggs, let me eat on the road, and told me to bring Xue Xinyan back next time, let me drink less, smoke less, and restrain my temper, the most touching sentence is, it's not easy to mix over there, just go home early, mom will raise you.

There is a happy smile on the corner of my mouth, this is from my mother's care and expectation, there is no wind and no rain all the way, the clouds on the horizon are like hanging clumps of soft marshmallows, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, the white snow is stretching, at the end of the plain, connecting with the sky, giving people a feeling of being separated from the world.

Wang Ling sent me a few voice calls, complaining that I was driving too slowly, I ignored her, passing by a service area, Wang Ling said that she was too hungry and wanted to stop and rest.

This is a newly opened service area, and when you walk into the lobby, the smell of paint wafts through the air, but it is very comfortable to be cleaned.

During the Spring Festival, when it was sparsely populated and empty, Wang Ling bought a lot of snacks and ate them with relish.

"If you can't help but be hungry after eating those things, let's go to the restaurant and eat some main food."

I bought two boxes of cigarettes, and when she saw that she didn't pay any attention to me, I sighed and went out to smoke.

Heading south, the latitude was getting cooler and the temperature was much warmer, and I had just lit a cigarette when I heard someone calling me behind me.

"Uh, handsome dude, can you do me a favor?"

It was a pleasant female voice, and I turned around to see a girl in her mid-twenties, rubbing her white fingers, looking at me in a daze.

She was short, thin, yellowish-complexioned, wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a long beige cotton coat, a pair of brown snow cotton on her feet, and a red scarf around her neck, much like a knowledgeable scholar.

I took a puff of cigarette, looked at her and said, "What's wrong?" ”

She smiled faintly, pointed to a car not far from the service area and said: "My car broke down, there is something wrong with the tire, I want to find rescue in the wilderness, but they are all celebrating the Spring Festival, no one came to help me, can you help me change the spare tire?" Uh, it's a paid service, okay? ”

I threw away the cigarette, stepped on it with my foot, and glanced at Wang Ling in the hall, she was eating a mouth full of scum, I thought in my heart, give someone roses, there is a fragrance in my hand, and it doesn't hurt to help her change a tire, so I agreed to the girl's request.

Her car was a white SUV, the right rear tire had been completely torn, and the car was slanted to the side of the road.

Brought out the spare tire and tools from the trunk, and found a few red bricks, padded under the jack, just put the body up, Wang Ling walked out of the hall of the service area, saw that I was helping a girl change the tire, she was full of indifference and remarkable, puffed over, glared at the girl, and then looked at me and said, "Let's go." ”

I smiled wryly, "Wait a while, I'll change it right away." ”

She walked up to me, tugged at the corner of my clothes, and said unquestionably, "No, let's go now." ”

The girl's expression was a little embarrassed, she looked at Wang Ling and said, "Well, it won't delay you too much, I will pay you at the price of wilderness rescue." ”

"Hmph, who cares about that bit of money, hey, are you going to go or not?"

She dragged me hard twice, I was a little big, and Wang Ling's yin and yang weird words were full of sour taste.

I said helplessly: "It's just a few screws, can you make trouble without reason." ”

"What? What did you just say about me? Vexatious? Oh, if she's a man, won't you help her? ”

After she finished speaking, she walked away without looking back, and I hurriedly handed the wrench to the girl and said, "Twist the screws, stuff the spare tire in, and tighten the screws." ”

The girl nodded as if she didn't understand, and I let out a long sigh and chased after Wang Ling.

She slipped into the white Porsche, slammed the door, slammed on the accelerator, and walked away.

"Hey, fuck, are you crazy?"

I yelled at me from behind the car, but she ran farther and farther away, and after a few moments, disappeared at the end of the road.
