192. Bashan Book City
It was already past six o'clock, Zhou Yu proposed to go to dinner, I thought about it and refused: "No, Mi Li has to go to school tomorrow, I have to rest early, just go back and get some food." ”
Everything will stop at the point, and if there is more, it will be full. Mi Li has been with him long enough today, and it can be said that he crossed that line, and it is bound to make him go back.
Zhou Yu sent us downstairs to the apartment, after getting out of the car, Mi Li came to hug my legs, he was tired after a day of playing, I picked him up and looked at Zhou Yu, and turned around and walked back without saying goodbye. I stayed behind until I cut off the line of sight, and when I went upstairs, I took out my phone and sent him a red envelope, and he quickly called "? "Come here.
I replied: Count it as movie tickets and money to buy books for Mi Li.
After a long time and no reply from him, I hooked my lips and smiled, there was always a way to make him angry.
It wasn't until I finished washing up and told Mi Li a story that I heard a message ringing on my mobile phone, so I turned my head and glanced at the bedside table, and then I took it back after swiping my eyes from my mobile phone, and continued to read the story picture book to Mi Li.
What he read was what Zhou Yu bought for him in the bookstore in the afternoon, and it was the rice grain requested. When I read the second story, Mi Li fell asleep, and after a moment of silence, I put down the picture book and put his little hand in the bed.
Sitting up from the bed, he took the phone on the bedside table and walked out quietly.
Click on the message and see it above - Jia Ru, you are a stone.
I replied: Why?
I thought that after such a long time, I might put it on hold for a while, but I didn't expect him to come back after a few seconds-
The temperament looks soft, but it's actually as hard as a stone, and there is no room for me, and I'm very angry.
After reading this message twice, the corners of his mouth still couldn't help it, and he could almost imagine the expression he was typing word by word with his mobile phone in his mind: frowning, with annoyance in his eyes, but his expression was extremely focused, like him who was arrogant at that time.
As soon as I was distracted, another text message came: What? When I said yes, I was annoyed and angry and didn't reply to my message?
I simply put down my phone and wanted to see what he was going to do.
After a minute, the text message did not come, but a voice chat came. I waited for the beep to sound the tenth before I slowly pressed the answer, and it was rare that his deep voice sounded mellow: "Really angry? It's not, I'm not so angry with you, take you to the movies with Mi Li, buy picture books for Mi Li, and you have to calculate the account for me so clearly, why didn't you give me a red envelope along with the chicken dollars? ”
I snorted, "Okay, I'll send it to you right now." ”
"Oh, don't! I didn't mean that, Jia Ru, why don't you get oil and salt? His voice sounded like he was going crazy, and he whispered helplessly: "Okay, I'll apologize to you." It's me who didn't speak right, you're not a stone, you're cotton, is that okay? ”
Suddenly I was angry and funny, what kind of stone cotton, how can I feel like he is playing a scoundrel with me.
On second thought, he was actually playing a scoundrel. After I explicitly refused him, I moved my mind to Mi Li, and also to my mother, and he really didn't give up. However, I refused him and didn't want him to give up, so even though he crossed the line today, I let him play, and only hit him back with the foot that crossed the line at the end.
This game between me and him is still going to take a long time, so let's go through it slowly.
In the end, he did not recognize either "Stone" or "Cotton", and only whispered "I slept" and hung up the phone.
Then he threw his phone on the table and went straight into the bedroom.
It doesn't matter what is behind him, out of sight is pure, and if his ears don't hear, his mind will not be restless. I slept until dawn, it was still the point of the biological clock, and after washing, I went to wake up the rice grains first, so that he would wake up in bed, and I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
I will have a good nutritional mix for breakfast, and on Monday I eat bread and shredded milk. So just put the milk hot and leave it there, spin and wait for the rice to get hot.
I went out to get my phone on the table, but I flipped through it and there was no more text message.
I inevitably drew a line in my heart, and pondered this matter when I took the elevator down with Mi Li, and finally came to the conclusion -
Zhou Yu and I, no one won or lost.
I was not moved by his confession, and I sank into deep affection without regret; He didn't stop me from refusing, and tried to touch my tentacles again, and then he didn't make any further moves.
I can't be sure if I have another plan, but Zhou Yu is now more mature and stable than before in terms of behavior and thinking, and I can't see through it. I used to be sure that I would beat him one day, but now I haven't beaten him so far.
If you ask me how I feel now, as long as I don't look back, it's okay.
I don't like to live in the past, and those facts that can't be changed can no longer be tangled up, but as long as I can let go, there will be no night rain in Bashan. Since you can't let go, then obey your heart and think - start over.
After delivering the rice grains, as soon as I walked to the side of the road, I heard the sound of a car horn pressing again, turned my head, and the familiar car was parked at the intersection. When I was about to walk over, a phone call came in, and I looked down and found that it was Xiao Dong.
My heart sank slightly, and I knew what was probably going on. Sure enough, I heard Xiao Dong say on the phone that the court had summoned me to review the details of the dispute. What should come will always come, and this matter will always be solved.
When I hung up the phone, I saw the car driving in front of me, and someone leaned out of the window and urged: "It's not good to park here, hurry up." ”
I stood still and said to him, "If you want to go to the courthouse, if you don't have time, I'll take a taxi myself." ”
He frowned, "Didn't I tell you to come up?" ”
According to the words, I got into the car around the front of the car, and as soon as I pulled the seat belt, the car started on the road.
"Did the court call you? What are you going to do? ”
"Follow the process and go."
"What process? Let's talk about it. ”
After listening to his questioning, he realized that he didn't know much about the law, in fact, it was nothing, that is, he accepted the court's review and submitted the relevant information that needed to be submitted, and as for how the court would judge later, it could only depend on how the judge weighed it.
Zhou Yu's brows furrowed even tighter after hearing this: "Isn't that the initiative in the hands of others, and you can only resign yourself to fate?" Why don't you find a lawyer to fight this lawsuit for you? ”
The space fell silent suddenly.
I used to be a lawyer, I knew the law, and I had handled many of these kinds of disputes, and at that time I could almost have promised to win. But now, I am out of touch with this industry, and I haven't been in touch with my original colleagues, including Xiao Dong, for several years, until I met recently, can I ask Xiao Dong to fight this lawsuit?
Another reason is that Liu Bing is Xiao Zhou's cousin, even if Xiao Zhou ignores the case in order to avoid suspicion, the current relationship between Xiao Dong and Xiao Zhou is not suitable to defend me in turn.
"There's a relationship in it?" was pierced by Zhou Yu.
I nodded silently, and heard him sneer softly beside me: "Jia Ru, you are worried about others, have you ever thought that the store you worked hard to run will become a stepping stone for others, and your fate may be to disappear in City A, and with it, there will be Bashan Night Rain." ”
My heart was shocked, and the drink shop did take a lot of thought on my part, but the real meaning lies in the "Bashan Night Rain". It poured a lot of things into the world that couldn't be outside, and if it was gone...... There will be an illusion that everything is empty.
"Okay, you go to the court today to talk about it, and then I'll help you find a lawyer to fight this lawsuit. Don't look at me, it's important to help you, but it's also because 'Bashan Night Rain' will become the brand of our book city, and it can't be lost. ”
I looked at him in amazement, "Book City? ”
He smiled, "Think about it, if the Pavilion in the Sky is made, shouldn't it be a book city in terms of its scale?" ”
My heart moved, and I couldn't help asking: "What is it called?" ”
"Bashan Book City."
Suddenly, somewhere in my heart was touched, if this book city really appeared in everyone's sight, maybe many people did not understand the meaning of the word "Bashan", or they thought it was related to Sichuan and Shu, but in fact it was a kind of sustenance, missing and waiting.
"Jun asked that the return date is not due, and the night rain in Bashan rises in the autumn pool. He cut the candles in the west window together, but when it rained at night in Bashan. Zhou Yu suddenly chanted the poem on the side, looked at me with a faint gaze and said: "The artistic conception of this poem is very suitable for our theme, I plan to use it as the main propaganda theme, what do you think?" ”
I was silent for a moment, then turned my head to look out the window, "You just decide." ”
When the car stopped at the gate of the court, Zhou Yu said that he was waiting for me outside, and after thinking about it, he didn't know how long it would take to be examined, so he asked him to do it in advance without waiting for me. When I got out of the car, I stared at the building inside the courthouse, and I couldn't help but be distracted.
I haven't stepped through this door since I left the company, and occasionally I only glance at the occasional car passing by. I never thought that I would walk in here in a different capacity, and scenes from the past flashed in front of me.
I clenched my fist and found that my hands were cold, not because I was afraid, but because of the feeling that time had passed and everything was wrong.
