Chapter 61: Lovesickness and Sorrow

My trip to Tibet with Lin Xueer touched me a lot.

"It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo."

A person's spiritual life is a decisive factor in the positive nature of his or her values.

Just like people like Uncle Xiao, who live a poor life and do not have high requirements for material life, they are happy in the dedication of participating in national projects, and they have found their own positioning, and they are optimistic and positive, but it is very easy to obtain a sense of happiness and satisfaction.

The primitive scenery and folk culture of Tibet, as well as the simple engineers of the Engineering Bureau who came into contact with me in the depths of the mountains, are deeply imprinted in the depths of my soul.

This kind of shock made me reflect on myself all the time after returning to Beijing, and I was able to calm down in the hustle and bustle.

This rare emotion has benefited me a lot from being impetuous in the past.

The business of Dazhi Real Estate is completely on the right track, and Dazhi and I have plenty of leisure time.

Dazhi is still obsessed with looking around in the capital and buying houses.

Under his influence, I also bought a few houses in Beijing.

Beijing's housing price growth continues to refresh people's perceptions.

After the Olympics, housing prices in Beijing have risen significantly.

More and more property speculation groups are flocking in, which is a rare business opportunity for a real estate company like ours, which mainly focuses on tertiary business.

We have limited funds in our hands, although we know that investing in real estate now will definitely have rich returns in the future, but we are suffering from limited financial resources and powerlessness.

Small companies like ours, with thousands of people in Beijing, have little impact on the market compared to the rising land prices in Beijing.

Doing what we can, making peace of mind, and minimizing risks is the biggest gain that Dazhi and I have gained after going through ups and downs in business for so many years.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another year has passed.

The matter of going abroad for exchange that Lin Xueer and I mentioned was put on the agenda.

I have plenty of time now, and sometimes I even think that maybe I will find an opportunity to go abroad with her to recharge my batteries later, and it would be a good thing for her to go out to explore the road first.

So, Lin Xueer mentioned to me again that she wanted to go overseas and accompany me to study, and I happily agreed.

With my permission, Lin Xue'er's visa was quickly processed, and as Dazhi had told me before, she flew away quickly.

After Lin Xue'er left, I was very bored in Beijing alone.

Daishi and his cousin resumed their relationship.

But neither of them seemed to be able to take a step forward, and his cousin refused his gift of real estate and any kindness, and stubbornly lived a hard life in Zhongguancun with his children, only occasionally hitchhiking back to his hometown in the countryside with Dazhi.

I sometimes joke with Dazhi.

"Little brother, when will this platonic love between you and our cousin come to fruition?"

He smiled and said nothing.

That expression reminded me of when I was in college, when he showed Peng and me photos of playing with my cousin in the dormitory.

The emotional world of Dazhi is incomprehensible to ordinary laypeople.

Lin Xueer occasionally makes a cross-ocean call to me overseas to report her safety, and it can be heard in her tone that she is completely adapted to life abroad and has a very happy life.

Every time Lin Xueer finished calling, Dazhi would also tease me.

"The little sister-in-law has completely flown away now, and your affairs are probably going to be yellow, right?"

I smiled in response.

But I still have some bottom in my heart, Lin Xueer's rapid growth worries me, it's not that I don't have confidence, it's that I can't hold her at all.

As for the future of Helin Xue'er, the devil knows what will happen.

My smile response was very different from my ambition.

Great ambition is confident.

I'm completely unsure.

Dazhi's jokes sometimes make me depressed and stuffed for a long time with a narrow heart, I know that a big man shouldn't be like this, but I just can't get over that hurdle.

After a long time, the more times it has been said, it gradually doesn't matter.

Lin Xue'er's phone call came more frequently, and my lovesickness worsened, and I looked like I didn't think about tea and dinner.

When Dazhi sees that I am uncomfortable, he will encourage me.

"Go, go and accompany your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law is so beautiful, don't wait until you really let people run away, and then stop cooking."

His suggestion was effective, I arranged the company's affairs and decided to visit Lin Xueer abroad.

It was very convenient to go abroad from Beijing, and the formalities were very efficient, and I quickly got my wish.

After the visa came down, it took me a day to fly to Lin Xue'er's side.

Lin Xue'er picked me up at the airport, and the moment she saw me, I saw her cheering and happy like a child.

"I can't bear to say goodbye to a lot, and I feel more lovesick after parting."

She loves me so much!

Seeing her, all my psychological burdens in the country were completely put down.

The moment I reunited with Lin Xue'er, a warm current poured into my heart, like a long-lost relative, thinking that this is because she is already my family, right?

It is true that the environment abroad is not much different from that at home.

Lin Xueer rents a small apartment near the school.

The apartment was very tidy.

I walked into the room and looked around, and the conditions were a little rudimentary.

"Are you used to living here?"

Lin Xue'er nodded.

"What do you eat, are you used to eating?" , I felt like an old mother, and when I finished asking, I laughed too.

"That's good, oops, you're so long-winded." , My chattering care made Lin Xue a little emotional.

"I'm so old, I'm sure I'll be able to take care of myself outside."

"That's good." , Lin Xue'er has a strong ability to stand on her own, and it can be seen that she is indeed as she said to me on the phone, there is nothing uncomfortable, so I am completely relieved.

After settling me in, she hurried to class.

I was jetlagged in the small bed in my apartment.

After taking a nap, I got up and made two side dishes, waiting for Lin Xue'er to come back.

When I was done, I stood in front of the window and looked out, and I don't know when the light rain began to fall outside, and in the distance, the buildings were lined up one after another, the streets were neat, and the pedestrians on the road were weaving, but they were orderly.

Compared with the domestic market, the street view does not seem to be much different.

Lin Xue'er came back at a trot after class, and because she didn't bring an umbrella, she was drenched in the rain.

When she saw that I had cooked the meal, she happily hugged me.

"This is the etiquette of new students abroad? My husband cooks a meal, and my wife comes back to give me a hug? I grinned and teased her.

"Cut, fuck off, you won't be able to find the north if you give you a hug, right?" She gave me a blank look and went straight to the bathroom to wipe her wet hair.

After a while, she washed up and sat back in her seat.

When I look at it, it seems that I have something on my mind.

"What's wrong? What do you think? I can read all of her expressions now.

"What did you just say?" Her eyes flickered slightly.

"Me? , didn't say anything? I tried to think about it, as if I hadn't said anything out of the ordinary.

"You just called me wife." After speaking, Lin Xueer seemed thoughtful.

I'm a little embarrassed, yes, we are indeed like husband and wife at the moment, but after all, we are still far from the real husband and wife relationship, I have never called her that, I have been separated for a long time, and I am in a foreign country, I feel very cordial after meeting, I can't control my mouth, and I just say it.

"Huh? Is it? I want to perfunctory past.

"However, people are still in school, and they don't want to get married so early." , Lin Xue'er pursed her lips, a little unhappy.

"I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong." , I hastened to clarify again.

"Hmph, I don't know what you're thinking yet, you just want to force me to marry you." , the more she talked, the more excited she became, and she had the posture of holding me back.

Although I knew her very well, I never seriously thought about her attitude towards our marriage, and for a while, I couldn't understand her real thoughts, and even regretted that I was joking without words.

"Eat, eat." I patted her on the shoulder.

"Marriage is such a big thing, we will discuss it after dinner."

Lin Xue'er rolled her eyes at me, still looking unhappy.

The meal was a bit dull.

After eating, she packed up the dishes and turned to me again.

Biting his lip, he stopped talking.

"Are you really going to marry me?"

I'm starting to get a little headache, and it looks like she's going to be staring at it.

"What about you? Do you want to? I looked at her and asked rhetorically.

"I'm going to marry you, but they're not ready yet." , she said seriously.

"I want to be independent first, and after I have made some career on my own, you can marry me again."

Her answer surprised me a little.

"Why do you have to be independent, I have enough ability to take care of you."

"Oh, you don't understand, I don't want to be a housewife, everything depends on you."

I laughed, Lin Xue'er was very strong, but she was still a little childish.

"What's mine is yours, what's yours is still yours, okay?"

She was upset again.

"Nope."

"I'm going to make a lot of money, pay you back all the money I've spent all these years, and then marry you."

I'm a little speechless.

"I said it all, we don't have to be so clear, I love you, everything I have is yours, as long as you like, use whatever you want."

"Do you love me?"

I looked at her earnestly.

"I love you." , Lin Xue'er looked at me affectionately.

"During this time, the days when we were separated, I missed you every day except for school!"

I held her in my arms.

A familiar body odor came from the nose.

"Silly boy, that's enough, as long as you love me, love can't have any conditions."

"Nope." She pushed me away, looking resolute.

"I must do a good job first, do a good job, and then marry you brilliantly, this is my condition for marrying you."

"What if you fail to start a business and never succeed?" , I want to play a joke with her.

"I'm going to make it." She looked stubborn, as if she had had this idea for a long time.

"What if you fail?" I looked at her with a smile.

"Then I won't marry for the rest of my life!" Her answer stunned me.

I had to compromise.

"Okay, you're going to be wronged tonight and marry me for a day, right?"

I pulled her back into my arms again.

"You're a big badass." , her delicate eyes are spreading, and she is as beautiful as a flower.

"Okay, okay, I'm the big bad, the big bad wolf."

Lin Xue'er's charm made me surrender unconditionally again.

"Okay, let's get married for one night."

She kissed me lightly on the cheek and said delicately, breathing.

At the same time, the soft limbs were like delicate vines, tightly wrapped around me.

In a strange country, everything is so familiar.

I was surrounded by the warmth of home and became obsessed.

"The shallow wine is in front of the people, the nephrite lamp is embraced, and there is always affection when looking back into the embrace."

What could be more obsessive than the feeling of coming home?
