Xin Chen washed his hair and took a bath, put on a mask, and then put a rose bubble bath into the bathtub, turned the water to the maximum, watched the bubbles rise, lay down, sighed comfortably, and only felt that his tired body was floating in the clouds.

After Xin Di's parents moved out, the bathroom was redecorated, which was completely different from the minimalist style of Xin Chen's side with only shower heads. Light-toned mosaic tiles, a small pink shell-shaped jacuzzi, large stacks of thick bath towels, and a variety of skin care products on the shelves. Xin Chen had to admit that these things prepared by Xin Di were still very effective.

When she came out of the shower, she had no appetite to eat for a while, and lay down on the velvet sofa to rest. She had always loved this old-fashioned sofa, low and wide, with just the right amount of dark red velvet, and her hand caressed it, as if touching an old friend who was reassuring.

In fact, Xin Chen liked the whole house. The high and deep space, the long and narrow living room, the old floor with mottled wood grain, and the curtains with floral patterns, each of which has the leisure and comfortable taste of home. When Xin Di said that she wanted to redecorate it all, she was scared, and she waved her hand again and again and said, "Don't, it's good." ”

Xin Di laughed, "Hey, these furniture are old, the key is that there is no feature at all, it's just the craftsmanship of a carpenter in the late 70s of the 20th century, why do you cherish it so much?" ”

Xin Chen couldn't tell the reason at all, but of course she cherished it. A courtyard in the downtown area, although not large, is relatively quiet, and the two acacia trees in the courtyard grow luxuriantly, and in the summer they bloom beautiful flowers and exude a light fragrance. There are all colleagues who know each other, there is a master on duty at the door, and there is a special person to clean the corridor. In particular, Aunt Li Xin has a pair of skillful hands to keep the house, the floor is waxed regularly, everything is placed neatly and orderly, and all the furniture is spotless, which is in stark contrast to where she lives.

She began to spend her vacations here when she was 12 years old, and after her junior year of high school, she lived here for a whole year. Although she and her aunt have never been intimate, she is still reluctant to destroy the warm home order created by her aunt.

Xin Di's parents also reversed her grand renovation plan to make her less tormented, and in the end she only changed part of the furniture and remodeled the bathroom.

When it was Xin Chen's turn to decorate the house, Xin Di deliberately walked over to look at it and shouted: "Hey, you can really do it, you can throw all the things you can throw, and knock all the walls you can knock." ”

She smiled and said, "Hehe, I made money, and my dad also sent money over to support me to toss casually." ”

After she finished decorating, Xin Di came to look at it again and sighed: "You have turned your entire home into an office, how can you decorate it like this." ”

But she said with satisfaction, "That's how good." ”

Of course, this is so good that there is not a trace of the old days.

Xin Chen turned over on the sofa and fell asleep in a daze, between the blindfolds, there seemed to be a pair of gentle and powerful hands hugging her, gently caressing her back, relaxing her tired and tense body, letting her head lean against the slightly sunken place on his shoulder, whispering "Don't be afraid" in her ear, the hot breath of breath brushed her ears, causing a slight tingling sensation...... The mobile phone rang, and she suddenly rolled over and sat up, holding her head: she actually had such a dream again.

But when you lie on this couch, don't you just want to indulge yourself in your dreams? Even such a hug in the dream is no longer pure as a memory, but almost like a spring dream, with a bit of indescribable beauty. She smiled at herself a little sarcastically, took her phone and saw that it was her father Xin Kaiyu calling.

"Tatsuko, why don't you come home in the middle of the night?" He said with a pretense of majesty.

She couldn't help but laugh, "Your tone has no deterrent effect at all, I'll live on the Dizi's side today, you take the key." ”

"The weather is good, let's come out and spend the night with my father."

Xin Chen was really a little hungry, and made an appointment with his father to go to Xin Di's wardrobe to find clothes, their height difference was nearly 10 centimeters, and they couldn't wear clothes together, but fortunately she was a designer, and there were really a lot of stocks at home, Xin Chen changed into a white T-shirt and a blue batik wrap skirt that didn't need to be recognized, and then went out on flip-flops.

On local summer evenings, there are always many people who spend the night outside, and they have made an appointment near the river, not far from Xin Di's residence. Walking at night is a pleasant thing, if there is no wind blowing, people come and go seem relaxed, gait calm, there is no anxiety in the high temperature of the day.

Xin Kaiyu had already sat over there, there were all kinds of small plates of braised vegetables on the small table, he patted the seat next to him, and handed a bowl of beef and radish soup to his daughter, Xin Chen smiled and grinned, "The hot day told me to drink this." ”

"It's just that it's a hot day to drink this."

It's actually a small storefront that has been doing it for many years and is also very famous in the local area. The boss is a big old lady with dark skin and a gloomy face, known as Mrs. Wang, she has never greeted guests with a smile, and it is her two sons and daughters-in-law who are hands-on, and she is not enthusiastic, but the beef soup and various marinated foods are very delicious, and the diners who come here do not care about the attitude.

At night, more than a dozen simple tables and chairs placed outside the door are full of people, many of them well-dressed white-collar workers, putting their leather bags next to them, loosening their ties, loosening the collar of their shirts, holding coarse porcelain bowls and eating happily, and many people driving over to buy takeout. A few small shops have been opened next to the trend, selling other flavors, which are lively and lively, just like a food stall.

"I'm over there in Kunming, except for worrying about you, I miss what to eat here."

Xin Chen picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, which was so spicy as expected that he suddenly inhaled, "I'm afraid I don't have as much time to think about the food here as I do." ”

Xin Kaiyu laughed, poured a glass of cold beer for his daughter, and went to the small shop next to him to call for red bean paste, "Drink this quickly, the flute is spicier than you, I like the beef soup of this house the most, why don't you call her over?" ”

"She has a date today."

"Didn't anyone ask you out? It's amazing that my beautiful daughter doesn't go on a date on a weekend. ”

Xin Chen also smiled, "Your daughter and I didn't get your good inheritance at all, it's really shameless." ”

"Tatsuko, don't keep locking yourself up at home, I'm not worried about this."

"I've never seen a father like you, I wish my daughter was happy when she went out to the world."

"If you don't enjoy life while you're young, will you regret it when you're old?"

"Come on, I've enjoyed being young and frivolous, and now I'm enjoying another life, which is not bad."

Xin Kaiyu shook his head, "You should be in love and enjoy the boy's hospitality." ”

"I've tried, and I can pass the time of boredom, but it doesn't seem to make much sense. Dad, I've always wanted to ask you, can you keep your initial good mood if you keep falling in love? ”

"Of course, there are times when I get bored, and I don't stop getting better, especially now, I really want to stop and rest." Xin Kaiyu paused for a moment and looked at his daughter, "Tatsuko, I'm going to get married." ”

Xin Chen was taken aback, his hand holding the duck tongue with chopsticks stopped in mid-air, tilting his head to look at his father, his expression was relaxed, but he definitely didn't mean to joke. Puzzled, she asked, "Who is the lucky bride?" ”

Xin Kaiyu took out her wallet and handed it to her, she opened it and saw that there were two photos inside, one was a photo of herself and him, and the other was a lady, judging from the photos, she was about 30 years old, with a pair of bright eyes, thin lips with a slight smile, and her appearance could only be said to be delicate and upright, and she was definitely not outstanding.

Xin Chen couldn't help but be surprised, since she was a child, she saw a lot of all kinds of women trying their best to find her merry father for marriage and commitment, among which the most fierce woman even caused his business to go bankrupt and almost go to prison when she was a sophomore in high school nine years ago.

That day, she had a little cold and headache, came back from school early, stood at the door of her house and heard the conversation between her uncle and her father, and then she knew that her father, who was abnormally at home and did not run around during this time, was actually in big trouble.

"Otherwise, you can agree to marry her and let her settle the matter. She is a little ruthless, but she has been with you for several years in vain, and she probably really cares about you. It was the enlightened voice of the Great Berzing, and she stopped, wondering, "Is Daddy going to get married?"

"Marrying her is no different from going to jail." Xin Kaiyu said softly, "And it's already come to this point, she also understands that she can't turn back, big brother, don't be too naïve." ”

Xin Kaiming, who had always been reserved, finally raised his voice, "If you had listened to my advice earlier, found a woman to live a good life, and didn't go out to fool around, why did you get to this point today." ”

Xin Kaiyu was silent for a while before saying, "Don't worry about this, big brother." ”

"You should take care of you when I want to, I am a poor Xiaochen who is an irresponsible father like you, and this kind of thing is a sentence of one or two years at most, and being locked up for transformation can restrain your temperament, but what should Xiaochen do?"

Xin Chen was so frightened that the schoolbag in her hand fell to the ground, and the brothers found her standing at the door, Xin Kaiyu hurriedly came over to pick up the schoolbag for her, and said casually: "Is school so early today?" I'll take you out to dinner later. ”

Xin Chen hastily pulled his sleeve and cried out with a little cry: "Dad-"

Xin Kaiming has always loved his niece, and he regretted that the words blurted out in anger scared her, "Xiao Chen, don't be afraid, what the uncle said just now was angry, it's just a little economic dispute, and your father can solve it." ”

Where is Xin Chen willing to believe, he looked at him with tears in his eyes, "Uncle, I won't stop my dad from getting married, I don't want him to go to jail." ”

Xin Kaiming let out a long sigh, "No, Xiao Chen, you concentrate on studying, adults will worry about these things." ”

Xin Chen didn't roughly understand until later that Xin Kaiyu's girlfriend at that time had a good family background and had been doing business with him, and when she couldn't get married, she actually signed a few contracts in his name that were enough to bankrupt his family. At her instigation, those customers have reported the case and threatened to prosecute Xin Kaiyu for fraud.

After a few days, Xin Kaiyu was taken away by the procuratorate in front of Xin Chen for investigation, Xin Kaiming rushed to hear the news and brought the pale niece home, Li Xin brought a hot towel to wash her face and wipe off the cold sweat on her head, even if she didn't like her, and at the same time she was tired of the trouble brought by her brother-in-law, she couldn't help but be stunned, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, your uncle will find a way, don't tell anyone about this, including your sister and Lu Fei." ”

She could only nod mechanically, knowing that it wasn't a good thing, and that it wasn't worth sharing with anyone.

Fortunately, the case itself is not complicated, Xin Kaiming found a relationship to get Xin Kaiyu released on bail pending trial, Xin Chen hugged his bearded father, and he was so scared that he couldn't cry. Next, she would run to the school gate every day between classes and call her father with an IC card phone to confirm that he was okay; I came home immediately after school, and I couldn't wait to follow my dad every step of the way. Xin Kaiyu looked at his daughter like a frightened bird, very sorry, and could only promise her that he would never go out unless necessary.

In this case, it is not surprising that her results have plummeted.

Xin Kaiming kept running for his brother's affairs, and also met with the family of his ex-girlfriend who hated because of love through relationships, and the result of persuasion and mediation back and forth was to lose money and settle out of court, Xin Kaiyu sold the company, and then raised part of it by the eldest brother, which can be regarded as escaping from prison with money.

At the invitation of a friend, Xin Kaiyu decided to start over in another place, while Xin Chen could only live at his uncle's house.

On the day he left, Xin Kaiyu took his daughter to a restaurant for dinner, looked at her daughter and said: "This is not better than a business trip, I can't come back in a short time, you have to take care of yourself, don't make your uncle and aunt angry." ”

Xin Chen knew that his father was fine, and his heart finally fell back to its original place, and after a few months of torment, both of them lost a lot of weight. Changing to other fathers and daughters, doing such a farewell dialogue is probably sentimental, but they all use a gossip and homely tone, and they all try their best to be relaxed, "I know, I promise to be obedient, and you don't provoke this kind of rotten peach blossom for yourself again." ”

Xin Kaiyu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Chenzi, listen to Auntie's words, don't associate with that boy named Lu Fei anymore." ”

On the first day, Li Xin's original words to their father and daughter were "Don't pester Lu Fei anymore", Xin Chen immediately stood up, Xin Kaiyu was also very annoyed, or held down the daughter who was about to have a seizure, looked at her sister-in-law coldly and said unceremoniously: "There have always been only others who have pestered my daughter." ”

Li Xin had no choice but to say with a headache: "Anyway, I have made it clear to your father and daughter, and this is also for Xiaochen's good, you can do it yourself." ”

Xin Chen's answer to his father was still fierce, "I'll ask Lu Fei, if he doesn't want to deal with me anymore, I promise to ignore him again, I won't pester anyone." ”

"If you like him, don't force him to make a decision, Tatsuko, he's already in college, he should know what to do best for you, you just promise me, don't take the initiative to find him."

Xin Chen thought thoughtfully, "Are you all afraid of being forced to make a decision?" Seeing that Xin Kaiyu was puzzled, she said, "Just like this time, you'd rather go to jail than be forced to get married." ”

Xin Kaiyu smiled and stroked her hair, "Your father's matter is more complicated, not exactly the same meaning, but it's almost the same." ”

I don't know how she tied up her father, Xin Chen looked at the photo in her hand, no matter what, what other women didn't do, this lady did it, there should be something special about her. She returned her wallet to Xin Kaiyu and teased: "I have already put the photo in my wallet and listed it side by side with my daughter, it is estimated that sooner or later, I will be completely kicked out." ”

Xin Kaiyu laughed and knocked her on the head, "Nonsense, you are the most important person in Dad's life, and no one can think of replacing you." ”

"I'm not impressed." She pouted, "Why did you suddenly think of getting married, didn't you get a younger brother and sister for me to come out and get married?" ”

"The more you talk about it, the more unpleasant it becomes." Xin Kaiyu shook his head and smiled, "No, we have reached a consensus, we don't plan to have any more children, I am not interested in trying to change the diaper of the child at this age, and she is not interested in being an elderly mother, she said, as long as you are willing to ......"

"Stop, stop, but don't tell me, as long as I want, she will treat me as a daughter, I'm really afraid that people will say this to me. You guys get married, I promise it's okay, you don't have to play goodwill with me. ”

Xin Kaiyu smiled helplessly, "She said that as long as you want, you can come and live with us at any time." ”

Xin Chen also smiled, "Hey, you should really warn her, you have a spoiled and stinky temper daughter, it's very difficult to coax." No, I'm used to living alone, and it's a good place in Kunming, but even if I go there, I plan to find a house to live alone. ”

"Don't look for it, Tatsuko, she's arranging the renovation of the house, and she's setting aside a south-facing bedroom for you, and asked me to ask if you have any special requirements. If you insist on not living with us, I will raise money to buy a small house nearby for you when I go back. ”

Xin Chen begged for mercy with a bitter face, "Dad, do you have to be so moved that you cry before you are happy?" You really don't need it, you haven't made a fortune, your business needs money turnover, and if you are just about to get married, you will definitely have to spend money, so don't buy an extra house. If I had gone, I would have stayed in a guest room, and I wouldn't have stayed there for long. ”

"I don't object to you wherever you want, Tatsuko, as long as you're happy, I'll always leave a place for you. I can't say I've been a good father for so many years, and you must not deprive me of this opportunity to show my father's love. ”

Xin Chen took a big sip of the beef soup, stimulated by the spicy taste, so that the tears flowed down justifiably, and then took a tissue to print the tear stains, "Hmph, bribe me, don't want me to call her Mom." She doesn't look much older than me, I can afford to be cheeky and call Mom, I'm afraid she can't be cheeky enough to agree. ”

"It's okay to call it, it's not a problem." Xin Kaiyu picked up the beer and poured it full for himself, suddenly changed the topic, and said idly, "I went home just now and saw Lu Fei standing downstairs all the time. ”

"Who is Lu Fei?"

"You don't pretend to me." Xin Kaiyu said with a smile.

Xin Chen also smiled, "Hey, really, when I have more people, I haven't seen you look at anyone before." ”

"Do you blame me, Tatsuko? If it weren't for my ......"

Xin Chen made an unbearable expression, "Dad, you really look like a man who is about to get married now, so sentimental." I have nothing to do with him, and you have no problem with your business. We separated, no one forced us, and there was no misunderstanding. It's not that you don't know your daughter's sex, it's just that everyone has their own way to go. ”

"Would you still consider him now?"

"Already going their separate ways, thinking about what. Dad, I never asked you about it...... My mom, right? ”

Xin Kaiyu was stunned, "This is a subtle signal for me to shut up and leave your business alone." ”

"Dad, do I still have to show you so tortuous? I just heard that you were going to get married and find me a stepmother, and I suddenly thought of it. You and my mother are each other's first, don't tell me that you are a love saint at the age of 19, and you have been in the sea countless times. ”

Xin Kaiyu can't help but feel a little emotional, his youth has long gone, and he doesn't like to think back to the days when there were too many troubles and confusion. Of course, they were each other's firsts, who had also just broken free from the heavy academic load of high school and the supervision of their families, fell in love at first sight, and indulged in the warm emotions that only exist when they were young, and a kiss and a hug soon failed to satisfy curiosity and desire.

If there is no accident later, even if they are separated in the future, it is a simple and beautiful memory, but an accident derives the consequences that young life cannot bear, and then you can only pay the price.

She naturally paid more, was severely reprimanded by her family members who came from other places, was expelled from school, and left school in embarrassment, her stomach was already bulging, and the eyes of her classmates were sympathetic and disgusting. The two parents discussed the aftermath, and they sat on the side, but they were not qualified to intervene. He looked over and saw her pale and haggard, her eyes glazed, her hands resting on her stomach, and a thick coat that could not hide her bulging belly, staring blankly at the opposite wall. The girl in front of him completely lost her former agility, and her face was gray, making him equally dazed.

At night, he found the hotel where they lived, and asked the waiter to help quietly hand a note up, and after a while, she came down, and the two were opposed, but suddenly they both felt that each other was a little strange, and the once close embrace became distant and ethereal, and the lobby of the old hotel was dimly lit, and each other's expressions fell on each other's eyes were blurred.

Xin Kaiyu thought that he had made up his mind to take on the responsibility that life suddenly handed over to him, but at this time he hesitated. He was silent for a while, then decided not to give himself a chance to regret it, and said to her, "You stay, we will get married when we are old." ”

She was visibly shocked, and tears finally flowed out, but she didn't say anything, just shook her head, kept shaking her head, he didn't know if this refusal made him painful or a little relieved.

He came out of the hotel, and the autumn wind was blowing outside, and it was already cold. He pulled up his collar and wandered outside until late at night before returning home, his parents reproaching him as usual, and he was in a daze and did not respond at all.

They haven't seen each other since. It was only when his parents brought the little baby back from the hospital that he realized for the first time that he had become a father by the time he was a little over 19 years old, with half of his blood and bones on his little head with dark hair exposed in swaddling clothes. After a moment of greed, it condensed into such a delicate life, he only felt wonderful and confused.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the baby grew into a slim girl, sitting beside him, looking at the glass of cold beer in his hand, as if he had forgotten what question he had just asked, and he had no idea what kind of memories his father had evoked in that question.

Xin Kaiyu knew that his daughter had something on his mind, and he had always tried his best to indulge her, somewhat to make up for the girl who was forced to end her youth early and face the difficulties of the world, but at the same time, he also tried his best to indulge himself, and he was really not a good father who was traditional and responsible.

"She and I should be each other's first love."

Xin Chen looked back at her father, in fact, she didn't know what she was going to ask. What can you ask? When she was a child, her grandparents and father doted on her, and she didn't mind without her mother. Later, when she grew up, she was in a hurry with the woman who claimed to be her mother, and she didn't have the courage to turn back to her father, who had never talked about anything.

They all looked so young, unlike her cousin and the parents of her classmates. As she grew up, she could only speculate that it was probably just a mistake they made when they were young, and then they forgot about each other. As a result of a mistake, asking questions is just adding a little embarrassment or sadness.

Everyone treated her with a gentle and tolerant attitude, avoiding the topic for fear of touching her heart. It wasn't until Feng Yi'an's mother suddenly found her that she was surprised to find that there was no mother, and in the eyes of others, it was actually a congenital defect.

Hearing this sentence from Xin Kaiyu's mouth, her heart suddenly relaxed, then they were also in love at the beginning, and it was a good time for first love, who can attribute the passionate love in youth to a mistake that shouldn't have happened?

She picked up the beer glass and touched her father, "Dad, I only know that this is enough, no one can guarantee that I will go with anyone forever, there is nothing to regret." She threw her head back and gulped down the wine.

It was already late at night after eating, Xin Kaiyu sent Xin Chen to the outside of Xin Di's courtyard and told her to rest early. Xin Chen walked in lazily with a little wine, but saw two people standing very close to the car on the side of the half-dark courtyard, as if whispering, her eyesight has always been very good, she has seen that it is Dai Weifan and Xin Di, she walked in without squinting, the two people had been hurriedly separated, Xin Di stopped her with a smile: "Hey, you pretend not to see, it seems that I am a traitor." ”

David Fan smiled and waved his hand at them, "Good night, I'll go first." ”

The sisters went upstairs, Xin Di took the key and opened the door, and asked her, "Where did you run?" Just back? ”

"Eat with my dad, it seems like it's not too late to come back, haha."

Xin Di yawned, "You've come back just in time, I don't know how to say goodbye." Flirting is a thing, a little bit can make the heartbeat intensify, the blood flow will be faster, and it will be boring if it overflows too much. ”

Xin Chen smiled heartily and absolutely agreed with this. Xin Di casually threw the bag on the sofa, looked at the skirt she was wearing, and couldn't help but be stunned, "This is still the work I made when I first learned to make plates, remember?" It's cut according to your figure, and it's done for you to try it on, Lu Fei said it looks good, but you don't appreciate it, you say it's like a noodle pocket, and then it's been put in my closet, this style is not outdated now, and it looks good with a white T-shirt. ”

Xin Chen was slightly stunned, "What year is it?" ”

Xin Di critically pushed her to the side to face herself, squatted down and started to re-tie the skirt, "Hey, you ran out with a bow tied so sloppily, I'm sorry for my design, even if it's early." I think about it, it should be the summer vacation of my junior year, so you should be in your third year of high school. ”

Xin Chen let her tidy up the ties and adjust the angle of the skirt, not wanting to protest that she was about to take off and change into pajamas to sleep, so there was no need to bother with it.

Of course, it was that summer vacation, when her happy memories came to an end. At that time, she was already about as tall as she is now, and the clothes she liked were girly, and she didn't like the dull and rough blue batik fabric, and it was natural to have a style that was not neat enough to be longer than the knee. She doesn't have an outstanding memory of details related to clothing like Xin Di, but according to her cousin, this chic skirt was worn by herself, and Lu Fei also commented.

However, today, she took it out of the closet and put it on, and took a selfie in the mirror before going out, but she didn't have a trace of impression, she was a little confused and a little relieved.

Then, the memories will gradually fade away in the passage of time, and more details will be lost in the past little by little, and one day, the unforgettable memories of the past will be completely light.

Sending his father Xin Kaiyu away, Xin Chen resumed his work state, sat in front of the computer for a long time to process pictures, and did not go out at all for a week.

Lin Yueqing has become a frequent visitor to her place, he often takes a camera to photograph the old buildings of the city, and the rest of the time he will bring packed food over to eat with her. After dinner, she continued to work, he used her notebook to sort out the pictures he took, or played games, read books, and when he was tired, he unceremoniously lay down on the chaise longue on the side of the studio to rest, and he didn't leave until Xin Chen was about to sleep.

Xin Chen couldn't cry or laugh, "Hey, you're tired of not being at home here, I'm afraid that your father will come to you, I can't tell." ”

"You kidnapped a young man, you can't escape this crime." Lin Yueqing laughed.

Xin Chen had no choice but to let him go. In fact, she also welcomes Lin Yueqing, he stays here and does not disturb her work, but when she has been facing the computer for a long time, he will suddenly push her swivel chair away from the workbench and move it to the balcony to force her to look outside for a while, and it is relaxing to chat for a while.

He told her his name seriously, "Lin Yueqing." I also have a twin sister named Lin Leping, who is only six minutes younger than me, relying on small sales, and has been bullying me for a long time. Our names together are a word card: Qingpingle, so poetic. In the future, you will call me Yueqing, which is more kind. ”

Xin Chen couldn't help but smile, "Then should I introduce myself formally." ”

"No need, I know your name is Xin Chen, but I like to call you Hehuan, it's a nice name."

Lin Yueqing helped her water the flowers, "After I arrived in Canada at the age of 15, I earned pocket money by helping my mother water the flowers and mow the lawn. ”

She slapped a bill into his hand, "Take it, don't look for it." ”

It was his turn to cry and laugh, "Blatantly take advantage of me, Hehuan." ”

Xin Chen finished repairing the picture, and she went downstairs for the first time at noon that day, Lin Yueqing was waiting for her below, ready to go to the advertising agency to hand in the pictures first, and then she accompanied him to take pictures of some of the old buildings hidden in the alleys.

After she walked out, she was surprised to find that several long banners were suddenly pulled up on the front of the street, which read, "I would rather have a bed in the city than a suite in the suburbs" and "We demand fair and reasonable compensation for demolition and relocation". Originally, the place where the demolition notice was posted was pasted with ink-stained posters, analyzing in great detail the price of new houses in this area, the level of compensation given by the demolition company in the same area, and the interpretation of the relevant contents of the "Property Law", calling on all residents to unite to resist unreasonable demolition.

Lin Yueqing smiled: "You are really isolated from the world, you have been so lively here these days." ”

He was taking out his camera to take pictures of this scene, and someone next to him asked, "Young man, are you a reporter?" ”

He shook his head and was about to speak, when suddenly someone called: "Yueqing, Xiaochen." ”

Walking towards them was Lu Fei and a short-haired woman in her thirties wearing a turquoise silk shirt and gray linen trousers, Lin Yueqing smiled and agreed: "Hi, hello." Auntie, why are you here? ”

The woman smiled: "I am coming to see the scene with the people from the design institute, and I am not very satisfied with the preliminary plan they came up with." Hello Xiaochen, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Xin Chen smiled, "Hello, Lu is sister, it's been a long time." I'm sorry, I have to go do something, I'm out of company. She nodded politely goodbye to Lu Shi and Lu Fei, and Lin Yueqing also waved her hand to them, "Let's go first, goodbye." ”

got into the taxi, Lin Yueqing said, "Don't you ask me how I know Lu Fei and his sister?" ”

"It is said that any two strangers in the world can be connected by six people, and it seems that it is not strange who knows whom." Xin Chen said with interest.

"I found out a few days ago that Lu Fei is the younger brother of my little cousin and sister-in-law." This awkward statement made Lin Yueqing himself amused, but his little cousin Su Zhe's brother Su Jie is half-brother with his little cousin, and he is only related to his little cousin.

Xin Chen was not interested in figuring it out, so he just looked ahead and was silent. Of course, the connection between strangers is far more complicated than they imagined, and after the acquaintances have become strangers, it is even more impossible to sort out the inexplicable connections between each other.

When she arrived at the advertising agency, Xin Chen asked Lin Yueqing to wait for her in the reception room. She often comes here, and she goes straight to Dai Weifan's office, and when she goes in to take a look, she is stunned, Dai Weifan is not there, and a tall girl wearing a cool suspender belt with healthy and delicate wheat-colored skin is answering the phone and saying, "Okay, okay, I'll be back soon." While walking out, when I saw her come in, I put down my phone and stopped and looked at her very unceremoniously. She could only ask: "Is Mr. Dai here?" ”

The girl looked her up and down, and saw that she did not have a hint of evasion, but looked at herself with interest, and then spoke: "He is not here, what are you looking for him?" ”

Xin Chen thought, Shibei will have to be impressed in three days, could it be that David Weifan's shelf has risen so fast, and he has already been equipped with a secretary to block the idle people and wait? And it's a secretary with such an arrogant attitude. She only said, "Then I'll go out and wait for him." ”

Xin Chen turned his head back to the reception room, and saw that the company's copywriter Xiao Zhao had already caught up with Lin Yueqing, "Are you here to audition for that advertising model?" ”

Lin Yueqing said seriously: "Do you think my conditions are suitable? ”

"It's a bit of a waste to shoot such a vulgar product with your temperament, if only you had come to shoot the advertisement for that hot spring resort last time."

"I don't know what it is."

"Men's health medicine."

Lin Yueqing slapped the table and laughed, and said, "No, no, no, this is good, it should be suitable for me." I'm actually wild at heart, and I'm very macho. ”

Xin Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Xiao Zhao, he is my friend, not a model." ”

"Tell your friend to try a part-time cameo, Xin Chen."

"You can convince him yourself, I don't care, hey, is Mr. Dai a secretary?"

Xiao Zhao was surprised, "There is only one secretary and front desk Zhenzhen in the company, and you don't know each other." ”

"Who was the girl who just came out of his office?"

While speaking, Zhenzhen came over with two cups of tea and handed them to them, pouting and smiling: "That's Mr. Dai's minister under the suit and pants, Shen Xiaona, the turtle who returned to China in the first half of this year, the daughter and design director of the owner of Sino Clothing Company, came to our company to squat at two ends in three days, I think I will soon have to add a table to her in Mr. Dai's office." ”

Xiao Zhao also smiled, "Zhenzhen, your mouth, didn't Miss Shen ask our company to make a picture album?" ”

"Is it good to hand over the album early, it used to be an excuse to visit, but now I simply don't want an excuse, the shelf is bigger than the serious boss, I want coffee for a while and I want to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner for a while, and I sit for a long time, hey, I'm finally gone."

Several people laughed, but before the laughter fell, Dai Weifan appeared at the door, "Zhenzhen, chewing your tongue again." ”

Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue, but she was not afraid of him, she only said with a hippie smile: "Boss, am I good to tell the facts, alas, who let us wear the charm of Mr. Dai and attract bees and butterflies?" ”

Dai Weifan has always had no shelf in the company, and he really can't take this class of lazy employees, so he only scolded with a smile: "Give me to do things well, Xin Chen go to my office." ”

Dai Weifan imported the pictures from Xinchen's mobile hard drive into his computer, and said while looking at it: "That Shen Xiaona is just my junior sister, don't listen to their nonsense." ”

Xin Chen was silent, Dai Weifan looked up, and saw that she was smiling but not smiling, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, "I already have a bad reputation in Xin Di's eyes, don't add fuel to me." ”

"Do I need to say anything, Mr. Dai?" Xin Chen said slowly, "You can't catch up with my Xin Di with clean hands and feet, but try to drag a burden to chase her." ”

David Fan laughed, "Don't worry, I have a number, and I won't do such a bad thing." ”

Xin Chen said goodbye, Dai Weifan threw the pen on the desk, and began to ponder what Xin Chen said just now. Of course, the pursuit of Xin Di went smoothly and not smoothly, and the smooth thing is that Xin Di is not hypocritical, if he calls her to make an appointment, and she is free, he will happily agree; The unsmooth was the moment when Xin Di was deliberately confused, but he didn't enter the state of love as he wished.

David Weifan has never tasted the taste of being trapped in love, he has always been someone else's crush on him, and his own limited experience of a crush has also ended in the bud, and it has ended before it has time to be profound, only a little melancholy. It has always been the girls who have turned upside down for him, and they look at him with bright eyes one by one, as if with him, no matter how boring the show is, it has become interesting.

But Xin Di is not like this, even in front of him, she is easily distracted, and confidently admits that she has thought of a certain design idea. In the bar, she will hide her mouth and yawn, and the air is muddy, the music does not match the atmosphere, she is focused on watching the movie, but she obviously doesn't care about the plot, and the sensational movie is broken down into costumes and pictures to her, and the actors are in tears there, but she says: "This kind of clothes with padded shoulders and high waistline may become popular again, maybe our boss is right, fashion is really unreasonable." ”

This kind of performance made Dai Weifan both frustrated and ruthless, determined to deal with this difficult woman. He looked at the time, called her, and asked her to have dinner together in the evening, and Xin Di hummed absentmindedly.

David Fan hated her most for being in a state of seeming to listen but not listening, and he had suffered losses. Once I made an appointment with her to meet her downstairs, but he waited for almost forty minutes and didn't see her come down, and then called, she was surprised, "When did I promise you?" ”

"We made an appointment yesterday."

"I'm not impressed, I'm rushing a design draft now, you can eat it yourself." She hung up the phone very simply, and Davidfan was so angry that he almost wanted to pound the steering wheel, and at the same time despised why he was so angry. But two days later, she called, and when he asked him if he had time to drink at night, he immediately said that he was free.

IN FACT, IT WASN'T JUST THE TWO OF THEM WHO WENT TO DRINK, AND HE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN HE WENT OVER THAT XIN DI WAS LOOKING FOR HIM MAINLY TO ACCOMPANY KEN. Ah Ken has no friends in this city, and when idlers don't get into his eyes, he is curious, loves to wander around, and likes to accompany him wherever he goes.

Xin Di was overwhelmed after accompanying him a few times, and called Dai Weifan out in the spirit of making the best use of his talents, and at the same time said in a tone of Tuogu: "Ah KEN, if you want to have fun in the future, you will find Dai Weifan directly, so that I will not be a woman but hinder your business." He specializes in eating, drinking, and having fun, and he must be more than competent to accompany you. Or you can give him a good English name, well, now that he has it, it's David. ”

Dai Weifan looked at Xin Di's unbearable appearance, angry and funny, and once again he was ruthless in his heart, and when she fell into it one day, he would ...... He was a little unaware of what to do, and he felt that this idea was so childish.

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

"Listening, listening, what did you just say?"

Dai Weifan had no choice but to say again patiently, "I'll pick up Yan Xuhui at the airport in the afternoon, and then we'll invite him to dinner together." ”

Xin Di smiled, "Let's be clear, it's you, not us." Yan Xuhui went to Beijing to mix up the title of the latest domestic fashion photographer? Where did he get such a big face for me to invite. You pick him up and come directly to meet, Ah Ken and I will review the style of the album here first, and he will return to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow, so we have to hurry up and finish it in these two days. ”

Xin Di put down her phone and continued to discuss the design draft with Ah Ken, when she was busy, someone called her.

When that gentle voice said "Hello, I'm Ji Ruoli" on the phone, she had no idea at all and could only reply: "Hello." ”

There was an embarrassing silence on Xin Di's phone, and she was about to confess that she had no memory of the name when the voice said: "We met in Beijing more than two years ago, and we had dinner together, I am Lu Fei's fiancée, maybe I have to say ex-fiancée." ”

Xin Di suddenly dragged out a long voice, but she didn't know what to say next, she only realized that she was a little embarrassed, and she really couldn't tell if it was her name or the identity of "ex-fiancée", which made people uneasy when they heard it.
