Chapter 33 Lin Zichen confessed, and Huilan hesitated
Today, Hu Huilan went to Li Yao to drink coffee again, Li Yao gradually got used to the taste of coffee, although the taste was bitter in the mouth, but the aftertaste felt very sweet.
Hu Huilan doesn't know why, she just likes the little girl in front of her very much, if it weren't for her brother's hatred of the Li family, she really wanted her to be her brother-in-law.
She has lived in a simple house for the past two years, and rarely communicates with people, but fortunately, when she met Li Yao, she suddenly had someone else to talk to her heart.
Hu Huilan is a hard-working woman, in fact, she got married at the age of 29, this year according to the whole age, exactly 35 years old, life before the age of 30 seems to be a farce, a joke, she resented, depressed, and even committed suicide, until she had Wensheng.
In addition to being naughty, Wensheng is a sensible child in front of him.
Her headache was left after falling into the water, that day, she was discouraged, jumped into the river, was rescued, lay at home for two months, every day with her eyes open and did not say a word, she rarely spoke for about two or three years, her mother thought she had become mute, so anxious that she washed her face with tears every day.
After another two years, she was finally willing to speak, but she often said some nonsense, couldn't tell who she was and who her family was, took a lot of medicine, and spent a lot of effort before she finally got better.
When she was 28 years old, her mother persuaded her to find another person, but at that time, in the city, everyone rumored that she was a female madman, and most of the people who were equivalent to their family or had a little status and money did not dare to marry the Hu family.
She and Qi Wensheng's father, Qi Yicheng, met in the winter seven years ago, the weather was a little cold, he wore a pair of black and gold-framed glasses, a little thin, a scarf wrapped around his neck, half of his face was buried in it, his nose was red from the cold, his hands were in his sleeves, and he walked alone on the road.
He was originally a typist at a newspaper, but because he made a mistake carelessly, he was fired, and he was coaxed out with his things.
He wanted this month's salary, after all, he had worked for 10 days this month.
But not only did he not ask for his salary back, but he was also blackmailed by the newspaper, saying that because he made a typo, the newspaper was facing a loss, but in fact it was just nonsense.
They robbed him of the fifty dollars he had left in his pocket like robbers, and swollen half of his face.
He walked on the road in some desperation, he wanted to expose the newspaper, so he went to another newspaper to apply for a job, but unfortunately none of them looked up to him.
At that time, he was about to jump into the river, because he couldn't survive anymore, but he happened to meet Hu Huilan who was going out.
When I saw her, there were snowflakes floating in the sky, and they were getting bigger and bigger, and a layer of white frost soon formed on her body, like a white shawl.
She was followed by a little maid, and the maid did not have an umbrella in her hand, so she had to let it be drenched like this.
He works in the newspaper, it is impossible not to recognize Hu Huilan, just her photos, he has seen it several times, it is like finally seeing his dream lover in reality, he seems a little excited.
She looked holy and beautiful, not at all a madman as written in the newspapers, but even if she was a madman, she was a beautiful madman.
Instantly dispelled suicidal thoughts, he rushed into a store and spent the last copper plate he had hidden in his socks to buy an oil-paper umbrella.
He ran over and delivered the umbrella to her.
Hu Huilan took a step back, she was wary of strangers at that time.
He was also afraid that he would scare her, so he shook the umbrella in his hand and said, "It's cold, you can't be so drenched in a girl's house, the umbrella is for you." ”
Hu Huilan was still stunned.
He had to hand over the umbrella to the maid and ran away.
Since then, Qi Yicheng has used all the information he knows about her in the newspaper to collect it, and even her past and her preferences have been studied very thoroughly.
It's not so much like her as it is with some kind of purpose.
Hu Huilan has not met a person who is really good to her for many years, no matter how cold her heart is, it will slowly be warmed, although she doesn't love him, but if she marries someone who really loves her, she may be happy.
After getting married, he was really good to himself, and he didn't feel unfair because of his wealth, but he soon changed.
He used the contacts he had gradually accumulated, and used all the connections at his disposal to close the newspaper that had blown him away in the first place, and the president of the newspaper was imprisoned for taking bribes in private, and then he didn't know how to get addicted to smoking.
Hu Haoping wanted to send him directly to prison, but he didn't want to discredit his family anymore, so he only locked him up at home and sent someone to guard him.
At that time, Wensheng was already able to walk.
After cutting off opium, every time Qi Yicheng committed a smoking addiction, it was as uncomfortable as being bitten by thousands of ants, and there would be various hallucinations, every time she was addicted to smoking, she would hold Wensheng and hide far away, but she still can't forget that painful roar.
Qi Yicheng finally couldn't bear it, he untied his belt and hanged himself, Hu Haoping was unprecedentedly relaxed, and only announced to the public that he died suddenly of a sudden illness, and Hu Huilan also accepted this fact.
After a short period of happiness, she suddenly understood something, and feelings were both forced and trance-like and not easy for people to see clearly, because she couldn't open her heart to see clearly.
Fortunately, the past has become a memory, and the present is becoming clearer.
Li Yao didn't know what she was thinking, she was so fascinated by it, she wanted to call her aunt before, but she felt that it was inappropriate, she still looked so young: "Sister Huilan, what are you thinking about so intrigued?" ”
Hu Huilan came back to her senses, pursed her lips and smiled, the spoon stirred the coffee in the cup, suddenly stopped, looked up and asked Li Yao: "What kind of person is Lin Zichen?" ”
It turned out that she was thinking about this, Li Yao replied: "He is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met, his thinking is very trendy, he is serious and talented, and he founded the Moral Education School." ”
Hu Huilan only knew that he was the principal of the Moral Education School, but she didn't know that he founded it himself, and she was immediately a little admired.
"What about him besides being talented? How is the character? ”
She seemed to be asking a little anxiously, and Li Yao couldn't help but smile: "He is naturally a young talent with good conduct, and he is also good-looking, and many female teachers in our school like him very much." ”
Li Yao originally wanted to test Hu Huilan, but she didn't expect that her face was indeed abnormal when she heard it, and she muttered, "Yes... Really? ”
Li Yao immediately added: "But they can't get into his eyes." ”
"What kind of talent can get into his eyes?"
"Of course it has to be Sister Huilan, like you!"
When Hu Huilan heard this, two blushes rose on her face, she didn't ask her these things for no reason, in fact, two days ago, I met him, chatted a few words, and he suddenly took out a sachet from his pocket. He didn't dare to call until he left, and inside was a handful of red beans.
"Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring. May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely. She couldn't help but silently recite this poem "Acacia" written by Wang Wei in her heart.
Who doesn't know that red beans imply lovesickness, this is not him confessing to himself, this way of confession is both romantic and ingenious.
If there is no response, the two of them will not be embarrassed as if nothing happened, but Hu Huilan was actually moved, so she called Li Yao out.
She still carries the sachet with her, but even if she is moved, she is still a little hesitant, counting, she is three years older than him, although the old saying always says that the female junior holds gold bricks, but she also has a child.
She hesitated, entangled, and couldn't wait for someone to give her some advice, and the first thing she thought of was Li Yao.
Li Yao saw her hesitation, and she said, "Brother Zichen is sincere to you. ”
She jerked her head up, a little suspicious.
Li Yao continued: "He knows that we have a good relationship, so he often asks me about your preferences, and the things I gave you, such as a pillow smoked with Chinese medicine, and a sachet with lavender, are actually all sent by him to me, and that sachet was sewn by him!" ”
Hu Huilan remembered the sachet that had been placed next to her pillow, the stitches were crooked, and it was sewn by Lin Zichen, a big man would do this kind of girl's needlework.
She said, "No wonder it's so ugly." ”
Since Li Yao knew that Lin Zichen liked Hu Huilan, she always pushed him intentionally or unintentionally, after all, time flies, and it is easy to grow old, since they love each other, they can't be consumed like this.
"Do you like him?" Li Yao asked suddenly.
She was startled, the teaspoon in her hand fell, and when it hit the bottom of the cup, she couldn't tell clearly, she was already past the age of saying love and love in her mouth, if she wanted to say that she liked it, she always kept a distance from him, saying that she didn't like it, but Lin Zichen was indeed a tempting man.
She replied: "There is nothing to like at my age, and besides, we can't do it. ”
"Why can't it be?" Li Yao asked.
"I have a child, which is equivalent to being married twice, and he will definitely be criticized when he is with me."
"You can't think like that." Li Yao was a little anxious and said: "If he didn't take into account this certainty, he wouldn't have confessed to you easily, and if he confessed, it means that he doesn't care about this, and you should be brave." ”
But she is a timid person, because of her, the Hu family was almost humiliated twice, she didn't dare to take any more risks, and her father was too old to withstand the blow.
She also felt that maybe he was just a whim, and after getting along for a long time, he would find himself a boring woman, and he would get tired of himself at that time.
She originally wanted to listen to the opinion, but I don't know why, the more others encouraged her, the more anxious she was to deny herself, she was like this, she lacked a sense of security, obviously she was very yearning in her heart, but when she was about to take a step, she would hesitate, and a voice in her heart persuaded herself to dispel this idea, she had to say: "I'll think again."
