Chapter 12 Who can do it spontaneously

Who can do it spontaneously

Lu Fei saw Xin Chen and Lin Yueqing walking side by side, it was a pair of very harmonious backs, Lin Yueqing, who was tall and carrying a camera bag on his shoulder, turned his head sideways and said something to Xin Chen beside him, and then smiled happily. Lu Fei knew that his sister was looking at him thoughtfully, but he had no intention of hiding his emotions.

It wasn't until the two of them walked across the corner and got into a taxi that Lu Fei turned around and looked at the noisy and passionate residential area in front of him, "The cost of acquiring land for this project is not low, and there is the pressure of venture capital funds, I think the board of directors of Haotian will definitely promote the development speed." Sister, you have to remind them to let the demolition company handle it well, and don't blindly seek speed to intensify the conflict and cause trouble. ”

Lu Shi nodded, "I know that the relationship between the two of us and the local area is too deep, and Haotian is also reluctant to enter this market because of this, in fact, he has lost a lot of business opportunities." If it weren't for Su Zhe's insistence a few years ago, the department store industry would probably not have settled in the local area, and the loss of the entire central region would have been even greater. ”

Both of them have a handsome appearance, and their clothes and temperament are too different from the crowd gathered here, and some people have already paid attention to them, and Lu is not wanting to be troubled, and motioned for him to leave.

The two got into Lu Fei's car parked not far away, Lu Fei fastened his seat belt, and turned his head to look at him, "Lu Fei, have you really decided?" Regretting marriage and resigning, both decisions are not trivial, and no matter which one says it, I am afraid that you have to have a clear explanation with your parents. ”

"Sister, I've figured it all out. I have already communicated with Ruoli when I came back from the United States to cancel the marriage contract, she only asked for a little more time for both parties to calm down, I respect her opinion, and will wait until she fully accepts it before going to explain to her parents. "As for work, I originally wanted to resign after finishing the cooperation project with Haotian, but there are too many things in the company, and I only need to travel everywhere in that position, and I have to go to the United States for meetings from time to time." Right now, I'm not going anywhere. Fortunately, the cooperation agreement between the two parties has been decided, I have submitted my resignation, and the boss will send a colleague to take over my work in the near future and continue to complete the project with Haotian. ”

"Are you doing all this because of Xin Chen?"

Lu Fei was silent for a moment, and said frankly: "Yes, she will definitely leave immediately after getting the demolition money, I can't risk losing contact with her anymore, I can only guard her here." ”

"But this girl Xin Chen," Lu Wei didn't know how to say for a while, "it seems to be completely different from before." ”

In the late autumn of nine years ago, Lu returned from the UK, and she and Su Jie, the general manager of Haotian Group, announced their engagement after meeting several times in Shenzhen. The parents of both sides were dumbfounded at the same time, although the two families were world friends, and they did have the idea of matching when they arranged for the two to meet, but this speed was too amazing.

In response to his parents' questions, Lu just laughed, "Don't you think it's unreasonable for me to be in the boudoir at the age of 29?" Su Jie is also a candidate you recognize, so it's him. ”

When Lu Fei heard the news, he was as surprised as his parents, he knew Su Jie and Su Zhe brothers, but he didn't have a deep friendship, and he didn't understand why his sister decided to get married as soon as she returned to China.

Lu also smiled at his younger brother, "Love is too hurtful, Lu Fei, fortunately, you have never been more rational than me." I just think that maybe a marriage that is made by a sober and rational decision will come a little more peacefully and for a long time. ”

Lu Fei looked at his sister who had no pleasure in her smile, and knew that she also had a dull pain, so he could only hold her hand.

"It's nothing, if I could do it all over again, I would probably live the same life and make the same choices. Don't talk about this, I heard my mother say that she asked the secretary to prepare the materials for studying abroad for you, but you are not cooperative enough, and you have not sent the materials out for a long time, and you still refuse to make it clear which school to choose. ”

Lu Fei decided to confess to his sister, "Sister, I fell in love with a girl, and I want to stay here to study in graduate school, so I can accompany her, but now I don't know how to tell my parents." ”

Lu was a little surprised, "This reason, I really don't know if my parents will accept it, and you don't know, they have always advocated starting a business first and then starting a family, after all, you are only 21 years old." ”

"But I really like her."

"Then tell her to come out for dinner, my sister is a substitute mother, let's see what kind of girl it is."

In the past month or so, Lu Fei has not had the opportunity to meet Xin Chen, who lives at the aunt's house, and it is inconvenient to call Xin's house, their contact is only Xin Chen's occasional IC card phone outside the school. She has always looked listless, I don't know if it's because her homework is too tight or she is depressed, Lu Fei thought, just asked Xin Di to take Xin Chen out to eat together, which can be regarded as letting Xin Chen relax.

He called Xin Di, Xin Di heard that Lu was back, very happy, she has always called her sister, the two used to be very close, "Okay, I'll go home and take Xin Chen immediately, today Saturday, it's time for her to relax, pitiful, I don't know what my mother has been bound by." ”

Lu couldn't help but be surprised, "Lu Fei, is what you like is actually Xin Di's cousin?" Xin Di is only 20 years old, how old is her cousin? ”

"She'll be 17 in a month."

Lu Shi couldn't help laughing, "Oh my God, this is too young love, Lu Fei, Lu Fei, I didn't expect you to like a little girl, I think you really can't report to your parents truthfully, they must not be able to accept it, and if you don't want to go abroad, find other reasons." ”

The two went to the restaurant together, and Lu Fei suddenly stopped, looked at a billboard being installed across the road, and his face was full of shock. It was an advertisement for a private hospital, and a girl in a pink nurse's uniform and a nurse's hat on the screen was smiling and bright, and the big advertising slogan next to it said: Unspeakable pain, painless solution. The small print at the bottom indicates various services such as early pregnancy tests and painless abortions.

The girl's pear vortex loomed, with a sweet smile, it turned out to be Xin Chen.

Lu Fei was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, all kinds of emotions surged in his heart, and his face suddenly turned blue. Lu followed his line of sight, and then looked at his expression, and roughly guessed, just as surprised, "Is this girl?" It's really beautiful, but Uncle Xin and Aunt Li are so strict in discipline that they won't let their niece shoot this kind of advertisement, right? Damn, you can't tell your mother now, otherwise you will definitely be scolded bloody. ”

Lu Fei's face was calm and silent, and there were many billboards with the same content along the way. The two arrived at the agreed restaurant, and waited for a long time before seeing Xin Di hurriedly running in alone, "Lu is sister, Lu Fei, I'm late." ”

"Where's Xiao Chen?"

"Do you see those ads out there? She was locked up by my parents, and they got so angry. Xin Di still had lingering palpitations, "I was also scolded." ”

Xin Di only found out about it when he went home just now. Facing the anger of the uncle and aunt, Xin Chen did not admit his mistake, "It's just an advertisement, it's a big deal that he will find me to shoot something else in the future, and I won't go." ”

"You are a girl who wants to love herself, how can you treat yourself with this kind of ...... Miscarriage ads rip off a piece. Li Xin was so angry that her face turned white.

Xin Chen blinked his eyes and said, "I don't know contraception, and I don't want children, it's common to have an abortion." ”

At this time, Xin Kaiming was also angry, "The more you talk, the more unpleasant it becomes, who taught you this?" ”

"My dad had already bought a book on physiology and hygiene for me to read, telling me to know how to protect myself and not ......"

Li Xin shouted violently: "Don't say it," turned to Xin Di, "Aren't you going out?" Go now, don't stay and listen to these crazy words, your account, I'll settle it with you when I get back. ”

Xin Di understood that her mother was going to defend the chastity of her ears, a junior girl who was almost 21 years old, and when she heard the topic of pregnancy and miscarriage in her mother's eyes, she had to stay away, she couldn't help but be funny and angry, so she could only make a look at Xin Chen, signaling her not to talk back to her parents, and then went out to the restaurant in a daze.

Lu Fei said with a calm face: "Who introduced her to shoot this kind of advertisement?" She is now in her third year of high school and studies all day and night, how can she have time to go out and shoot this? ”

Xin Di had a bitter face, "Blame me for making friends carelessly, it was my classmate, Yan Xuhui, who helped me shoot the clothing album last time, introduced him, and you also saw him that day." Speaking of Yan Xuhui, she got angry, took out her mobile phone, dialed his number, and began to scold: "The surname Yan, tell you not to hit my sister's idea, you are good, you actually coaxed her to shoot this kind of advertisement, what kind of heart do you have?!" ”

Yan Xuhui over there shouted: "Hey, Xin Di, I recommended Xin Chen so easily." She is completely new, it took less than an hour to shoot an advertisement, and the income is good. It's just an advertisement, and it's dressed tightly, and it's not revealing at all. Some manufacturers said that they wanted to ask her to shoot underwear advertisements, but I refused. ”

Xin Di gasped in fright, "Underwear advertising? Yan Xuhui, you dare to mention this matter to Chenzi, see if I don't peel your skin. ”

"Hey, you're studying fashion design, so you're a bit professional, okay?"

Xin Di actually didn't take this advertisement too seriously, and felt that her parents' anger was a bit of a fuss, but now that she is causing trouble, she naturally feels that Yan Xuhui is really hateful, "You don't talk nonsense with me, she is a minor, and she can't accept advertisements casually, let alone crowd advertisements." ”

"I didn't expect this, Miss, all I heard was that a hospital wanted to shoot a beautiful nurse for publicity, but I didn't know that they focused on painless abortion."

Xin Di was so angry, "Yan Xuhui, in short, you have been listed by my parents as a refusal object, don't want to go to my house in the future, let alone find Chenzi, if you dare to disturb her before the college entrance examination, it will be light for me to break off friendship with you." ”

hung up the phone, Xin Di looked helpless.

Lu Fei gritted his teeth and remained silent. More than a month ago, Xin Di asked Xin Chen to make a cameo appearance as a model, wearing a series of clothes she designed to prepare for the competition to shoot a picture album, and invited Yan Xuhui to help shoot it, and he also went.

It was a sunny autumn Sunday afternoon, and the shooting location was in front of an old-fashioned building not far from Xin Di's house.

Sexy, this unfamiliar word came to Lu Fei's mind, he was taken aback, and tried to press his heart, but when he turned his head, he saw Yan Xuhui, who had taken a single-lens reflex camera and instructed Xin Chen to stand and pose, his eyes were eagerly fixed on her, and his face was full of undisguised admiration.

Lu Fei could distinguish the difference between that expression and ordinary devotion and enthusiasm, because facing Yan Xuhui, he almost seemed to see himself, and clearly knew that there was the same longing and even desire in his eyes at this time, and this recognition made him unable to calm down.

Xin Di was busy sorting out his clothes and playing reflectors with a serious face, although Xin Chen was a little annoyed by fiddling, he felt that it was more interesting than doing homework at home after all, and he cooperated very obediently.

She leaned against the granite walls of the old house, her head slightly tilted, the autumn sun shining on her fair skin, a delicate line from chin to neck, and a slight and subduing collarbone with her breath and heartbeat.

Lu Fei couldn't stand anymore, so he told Xin Di to leave in advance and left in a hurry.

Later, Xin Di took out the album he made and showed it to Lu Fei, a thin volume, of course, the paper printing is not exquisite, but I have to admit that whether it is Xin Di's design, Yan Xuhui's photography or Xin Chen's interpretation, they are all quite creative and standard, and for a student, it is very handy. He collected a copy and put it together with the portrait sketches that Xin Di had drawn for Xin Chen before.

Lu Fei heard Xin Di talk about Yan Xuhui's volunteering to tutor Xin Chen to strengthen art, which was a bit unpleasant, but Xin Di said: "This guy is clever and knows how to deal with the art joint examination. ”

He had nothing to say but to comfort himself, after all, it was only half a year. But I didn't expect that Xin Chen actually filmed such an advertisement under the persuasion of Yan Xuhui.

Xin Di muttered: "It's already like this, it's nothing, the advertisement will be taken down when it expires." ”

"Xiaodi, Xiaochen is still a student, such advertisements are hung everywhere, what will people say about her, what will her classmates think of her, why do you think it is so simple?"

It was the first time for Lu Fei to speak in such a heavy tone, and Xin Di looked at him in a daze, "Hey, you and my parents have the same tone, it's not that serious, right?!" ”

Lu is playing a round, "Forget it, let's see if there is a way to remedy it, after all, she is a minor, and she doesn't have a parent's signature, and the photo is used for this kind of use, so you should be able to ask for it to be taken down." ”

Xin Kaiming did go to negotiate, but the advertising agency was very tough and did not give in, and there was no relevant law to make clear provisions on this, Xin Kaiming and Li Xin were not willing to make a big deal and cause more discussions, so these advertisements have been hanging on the streets of the city, and they will be slowly replaced after the expiration date, but it has been more than half a year later.

Xin Chen was first severely criticized by the aunt and uncle as never before, and then her classmates in the school talked a lot, and they were quite isolated and alienated from her. The school was also quite displeased, and the head teacher informed Xin Chen to invite the parents, and Xin Chen had to ask the uncle to go to school.

Xin Kaiming was talking to a vice principal, politely and clearly pointed out that this middle school has a rigorous academic style, and the admission rate has always been proud, although Xin Chen's behavior does not violate the school rules on the surface, but it is extremely inconsistent with the identity of the student, and now only a warning has been issued, hoping that parents will strictly restrain and discipline. Poor Xin Kaiming, as the leader of the agency, has always been dignified and dignified, but he can only promise to keep his voice and promise that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future.

Xin Chen didn't expect that Tu Fun's fun would make a mere 800 yuan, and he would be seen by others as such a serious disaster. When the aunt and uncle said about her, she could only bow her head and listen; When her classmates said cool things, she could only sneer and ignore them. But by the time Lu Fei criticized her again, she no longer had the patience to listen.

"You probably think I'm embarrassed, I don't understand, it's just an advertisement, as for all the fuss? And even if I lose face, it's my own face, is it written on the advertisement whose niece I am, which school student, whose girlfriend is it? Xin Chen's eyes lit up unusually brightly, and he said angrily.

"Xiao Chen, your attitude is not right, I just said a word, you have to jump up."

"I also filmed, I also admitted the mistake, I promised that I also went down, what else do you want me to do?"

Lu Fei tried to soften his tone, "Forget it, Xiao Chen, this matter will be over in the past, Yan Xuhui will look for you for this kind of thing in the future, you don't pay attention to him." ”

Xin Chen twisted his head to the side and closed his lips silently. Lu Fei was a little angry, "Look at your recent results, ups and downs, just a little bit of improvement, and immediately got a mess in the exam, if this continues, even if you take the art joint examination, the college entrance examination score will not look good, have you thought about the future?" ”

"Lu Fei, isn't it enjoyable to teach me? As I said earlier, I don't like to study, don't demand me with your standards. ”

Lu Fei didn't know what to say, and he sighed for a long time, "Xiaochen, I'll take the graduate school entrance examination right away, and I can't come over these days." I'm not teaching you, but you have to think about your future, you still know that if you don't do well in the high school entrance examination, your uncle will worry about you, isn't the college entrance examination the same reason? ”

Xin Chen's eyes are red, she has always been willing to only accept Shun Mao's touch, during this period of time from home to school is full of pressure, no matter how much she pretends not to care, she is also depressed. Seeing Lu Fei's frowning and troubled appearance, she regretted it in her heart, but she still stubbornly refused to bow her head.

"Go back, it's cold, be careful if you catch a cold."

She came out under the pretext of buying something, so naturally she couldn't stay out for a long time, and the two of them stood on the side of the road with the cold wind howling at night, and she had already been blown cold by her hands and feet, but she just didn't move. Lu Fei was helpless, pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, and then she cried out, choked up and said, "I won't shoot commercials anymore." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, don't cry." He pressed her head to his chest, his chin against her hair, and comforted her softly, "Go back with swollen eyes later, your aunt and uncle should worry again." ”

Lu Fei put his arm around her shoulders and sent her out of the courtyard, watching the slender figure walk in, a lonely shadow dragged diagonally behind her, she suddenly stopped, looked back at him, under the backlight, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but he knew that she didn't smile at him like she usually said goodbye, the north wind blew her ponytail crooked to the side, and her clothes fluttered up, looking thin and fragile. He had to control himself so he didn't run over and hugged her tightly.

"Xiaochen, come in." His voice was muffled in the howling of the wind, and she nodded, turning and walking into the hallway.

Lu Fei walked home with her tears on his clothes, the cold wind made that mark very scarred, but he really couldn't tell himself that it was okay.

He wandered alone on the winter streets, I don't know how long, and stopped under an advertising light box, on which was Xin Chen's smile, and looked innocent and provocative under the dim street lamplight. He is very self-disciplined, but he does not live in a vacuum, and of course he knows what that means to men. The last time I passed by with a classmate, the boy took a closer look, then whistled and laughed: "The temptation of a living uniform." He could only say nothing.

But it was really a temptation, he had to admit that such a temptation came rudely and directly, and even had entered his dream, his anger came more from this, he didn't want his Xin Chen to become someone else's fantasy as well, but he couldn't do anything about it at all.

Lu Fei's mother talked to him seriously and told him that neither she nor his father approved of him staying in China to study for graduate school, especially not for him to stay in the country to continue his studies, "Your father's new appointment is probably coming down soon, and after the beginning of the year, he will go to the south to take up a post, and I will definitely follow him." The professional direction you choose should go abroad for further study and develop in the future, we have always felt that you have considered the problem very comprehensively and have ambitions, how could you make such a decision? ”

He was speechless and could only say to think again.

Lu Shi persuaded him: "Lu Fei, I'm not on my parents' side to lobby you. But a girl who is less than 17 years old, she doesn't even have a fixed personality, there are infinite possibilities in the future, you are in love with her now, the mental development of the two people is completely out of sync, do you have a common topic? Could she be working with you towards a goal? Not to mention the advertisements on the streets, there is no chance at all to let parents know. ”

Lu Fei couldn't help but be confused, indeed, the time with Xin Chen was very sweet, but the two people's personalities and things were completely different, he didn't know when this wayward girl would grow up, and he didn't know how to bear the future of the two people.

What's more, he has always had a plan for everything, and she has become the only link in his life that refuses to accept it.

"Her parents are not around, Uncle Xin and Aunt Li do take good care of her, but she is still very lonely, if I don't stay, I really don't feel at ease."

Lu is shaking his head, "You're thinking too much, Lu Fei." I went to Shanghai to study at the age of 18 and the UK at the age of 22. You're showing up as her boyfriend right now, and you're going to go on forever, have you ever thought about what she thinks, maybe she needs space to grow on her own, after all, no one can go through this process for someone else. ”

"Sister, I admit that what you said makes sense, but I'm afraid that as soon as I leave, she will think that our relationship is over, and she has always been proud, I'm afraid she can't accept it."

Lu is looking into the distance, the same look of confusion, "The love of youth is very fragile, and you may not be able to keep it all day long, but if you keep it, you may find that it is not what you want." In fact, even now, I'm not sure about love. I suggest you continue your studies until you and she can decide your future. ”

LU FEI FELL INTO AN UNPRECEDENTED CONTRADICTION, HE STILL PARTICIPATED IN THE GRADUATE SCHOOL ENTRANCE EXAMINATION, AND BY THE TIME THE RESULTS CAME OUT IN MARCH, HE PASSED THE SCORE LINE OF HIS OWN SCHOOL, AND SEVERAL OFFERS FROM FOREIGN UNIVERSITIES WERE ALSO SENT ONE AFTER ANOTHER. His father, who had officially received his appointment and was going to take up a new post in the south, talked to him before leaving, asking him to immediately decide on the foreign university he was going to study and then start the formalities.

Lu Jingzhong is not the ruler of the family, he and a pair of children can be considered close, but his authority is real. Lu Shi and Lu Fei did not go through the stage of challenging and rebelling against their father like other children, and they have always admired their wise and deep father.

When his father was busy with the handover of work, he put on a gesture of talking to Lu Fei, but Lu Fei couldn't say his plans as calmly as usual. How could he tell his father, who was almost a workaholic, who had always had a complete plan for the future and a strong sense of responsibility, that he liked a wayward girl who had just turned 17 and wanted to stay in the local area to watch her grow up.

In particular, her photo is still hanging on advertisements for abortion hospitals all over the street.

Lu Fei stood outside the art college entrance examination center and waited for Xinchen, the weather was warm and cold, the branches revealed a faint green, and it was raining a small spring rain, he held a black umbrella and stood in the rain with other parents. Finally it was time for the end of the exam, Xin Chen came out with the team, and after the exam one day, she looked tired, and smiled happily when she saw him.

He holds an umbrella in one hand and her picture folder and toolbox in the other. She put her hands on his arm holding the umbrella and happily talked about the details of the exam.

"Sketchers have to paint busts, including hands, and the model is an uncle in his thirties, who looks weird, but has no features at all, alas, this kind of person is the most difficult to draw.

"I probably drew the two actions of the sketch a little closer to the comics, and it was funny to look at myself.

"I think I did well in the color test, and the fast drawing method of still life taught by Yan Xuhui is still quite effective."

Her tone when she mentioned Yan Xuhui was completely normal, and she obviously didn't blame him for her bad luck in shooting commercials. Lu Fei looked sideways at her relaxed and energetic appearance because of the completion of the exam, and decided to wait for a while to talk about serious topics, "Reward you, what do you want to eat, I'll take you there." ”

"No, I promised my aunt and uncle that I would go home after the exam, and they would be worried if it was late. I won't eat it today, and I'll be able to have a good time during the summer vacation after my college entrance examination. Hey, Lu Fei, I did okay in the school's preliminary exam this time, I want to save it up, and let you give a reward at that time. ”

She was so well-behaved at this time, Lu Fei only felt bitter, did she really want to give up this sweet smile in the crook of her arm? He smiled reluctantly: "What reward do you want, let's hear it." ”

"I want to go to the beach to play during the summer vacation, I haven't seen the sea yet, and my father always says that he wants to take me there, but I don't have time." At the mention of her father, her mood was a little low for a while, and she lowered her head and kicked the stagnant water on the road with her sneaker-wearing foot.

Lu Fei handed her the phone, "Give your dad a call." ”

Her father often called, and her aunt and uncle also encouraged her to call her father, but in front of them, she would speak somewhat restrained, and at this time she hurriedly dialed Xin Kaiyu's number, and their father and daughter talked very fast and laughed from time to time.

Lu Fei simply stopped, covered her with an umbrella, what she was saying, he didn't care at all, just stared at the face with a changing expression overflowing with happiness, the weather was gloomy, the light was dim, and her smile was bright and moving. He watched her slightly heroic dark eyebrows raised, her long and thick eyelashes trembling with the blinking of her eyes, wrinkling her nose from time to time, and then laughing, the pear vortex on her left cheek appeared, and her snow-white teeth glittered in the semi-darkness. He traced every line and expression of her face like a sketch, as if to carve her into his heart.

Xin Chen finally finished the phone and handed him back the phone, but he didn't answer, "What's wrong, Lu Fei?" ”

"Nothing." He woke up from his trance and took the phone that was warmed up by her, "Xiaochen, do you want to see the sea?" If your dad agrees, I'll take you there during the summer vacation. ”

Xin Chen nodded vigorously and grabbed his arm again, "I'm going to apply for the graphic design major of J University, Lu Fei, although it's not as good as your university, it's okay, and it's close to your school." ”

Lu Fei was silent for a long time, Xin Chen shook his arm, a little weak, "Lu Fei, my grades are probably only enough for J at most, I ......"

He tried to calm his emotions and looked at her gently, "It's not bad to go to J University, and in the last few months, work hard." ”

Xin Chen relieved himself, stood on tiptoe, and quickly kissed his lips with the cover of the umbrella, and he kissed back her slightly cold lips in the cold wind, deepening the kiss. The drizzle and the cold of spring, the traffic on the road, the noise of car horns, and the rush of people on both sides, and the umbrella in his hand seemed to isolate them from the chaotic world around them.

Such sweetness and willingness to indulge, but he couldn't let time stop at this moment, or let this kiss go on endlessly, he could only let go of her lightly, and said in a dumb voice: "Go back, it's not too early." ”

Seeing Xin Chen walk into the yard, Lu Fei went home again, his father had gone to the south to take office, and his mother stayed here to deal with some tedious daily affairs, waiting for the transfer, and was sitting in the living room chatting with her daughter. After the family of three had eaten, he went back to his room, sat on the small sofa in front of the window, and took a book to read. After a while, Lu Shi walked in with two cups of tea and sat down beside him.

"Haven't you made up your mind yet?" Looking at Lu Fei's acquiescence, Lu is sigh, "Don't delay any longer, Lu Fei, this is also for her good, in case my mother knows about this, with her old man's character, she will definitely call Aunt Li Xin or Uncle Xin directly to control her niece, wouldn't it hurt her even more at that time?" ”

"I'll take care of this matter, she has a few months to take the college entrance examination, and now tell her, she definitely can't accept it."

Lu is wry smile and shook her head, she just went to Hong Kong with Su Jie, and when she came back, she added an elegant one-carat diamond ring on the finger of her left hand, and she often turned this unassuming ring, "You drag it down, and then talk about it when you leave, she will hate you, Lu Fei, I advise you to make it clear to her as soon as possible." ”

Lu Fei was silent, and when he picked up Xin Chen, he was indeed ready to tell her about it, but seeing her so happy, he changed his mind. Of course, no matter when he said it, Xin Chen would not accept it calmly. If he had to go, then all he could do was minimize the damage to her.

On this day, Lu Fei had no class in the morning, and was looking up materials and writing papers in the library, when his mobile phone suddenly rang.

"I'm outside your school, you come out for a while, Lu Fei." Xin Chen only said this sentence and hung up the phone.

Lu Fei couldn't help but be stunned, this was the first time Xin Chen had crossed the river to the school to find him. He put down the book and hurried out, sure enough, Xin Chen stood alone outside the school gate, after days of rain, the sky had just cleared, the morning sun seemed warm and warm, she was leaning on the public phone booth with nothing to do, kicking the schoolbag in her hand with her foot.

"Xiaochen, why are you here? Don't you have to go to school today? ”

"I skipped school."

Lu Fei frowned, "Why?" Now should be the most stressful time. ”

Xin Chen pursed his lips and paused for a while before asking softly, "Lu Fei, is what Uncle and Aunt said true?" ”

"What did they say?"

"They said, you're going to study in the U.S. right away."

Lu Fei was surprised, he didn't know how Xin Kaiming and his wife knew about this, but after thinking about it again, Li Xin was helping to handle the transfer procedures for his mother, and naturally his mother told her, "Xiao Chen, don't be in a hurry to get angry, this matter has not been finalized." ”

"You're going to tell me later, are you?"

"Not really."

"What does that look like? Do I have to hear about you from other people's small talk? Lu Fei, what are you doing with me? ”

"Xiaochen, my family did ask me to study abroad, I hope to postpone it, in case I have to go now, there are only two to three years, I promise you, at most three years, I will definitely come back, or you can learn English well, and also strive to go to the United States."

Xin Chen stood stunned, as if trying to digest his words. Lu Fei stretched out his hand to put his arm around her shoulder, and was about to speak, but she took the initiative to stick to him, raised her face, and whispered to him closely: "Is this goal the same as the one that made me work hard to get into the university you studied in the past?" ”

"Xiao Chen, three years have passed quickly, and you are old enough at that time......"

Xin Chen stepped back suddenly, "I'm old enough now, so, please don't treat me as a child, hang a piece of candy in front of me, and let me reach it hard." There is no sugar worth my trip for three years, Lu Fei, I will never meet your standards, I will not be able to go to your university, and it is impossible for me to go to the United States. ”

Xin Chen turned around abruptly and ran across the road. She was lithe, with the agility of a jaw-dropping little animal, a car braked sharply not far from her, Lu Fei's heart almost stopped beating in an instant, and he watched the figure pass through the traffic, he ignored the driver's poking his head out and scolding, followed and rushed across the road, strode up, grabbed her schoolbag, and dragged her into his arms. She struggled hard twice and didn't break free, and when she raised her leg, she kicked him his calf, Lu Fei frowned in pain and didn't let go, "Don't make trouble Xiaochen, obediently listen to what I say, is it okay?" ”

She quieted down and tilted her head to look at him, "What do you want to say?" ”

Lu Fei found himself under the pressure of her clear eyes, and there was really nothing to say. At this time, what lies between the two is nothing more than a parting, and the reason for parting is pale and redundant no matter which way it is explained.

Xin Chen suddenly grabbed the placket of his coat and looked up at him, "Don't go, Lu Fei, just study here, okay?" ”

Her eyes were full of tears, Lu Fei lowered his head, and could clearly see his face flickering in the tears in her eyes, he almost rushed out a "good" word, but he could only say in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, Xiaochen, I hope I can say to you happily, okay, I'll stay, but I can't." I'm afraid that if I break my faith with you again, it will be even worse. ”

Xin Chen's fingers slowly loosened, "My dad is right, it's the stupidest thing to ask someone to stay, when I didn't say it." You let it go, I'm going back to school. ”

"I'll send you back." Lu Fei stopped the taxi and pushed her up, along the way, no matter what Lu Fei said, Xin Chen didn't say anything, didn't look at him, and hurriedly got out of the car and ran in when he arrived at school.

Since that day, Xin Chen has never called Lu Fei again, Lu Fei was helpless, called Xin Kaiming's house, Li Xin answered, and called Xin Chen in surprise: "Xiaochen, Lu Fei is looking for you." She came to answer and only said coldly: "I'm doing my homework, don't call again if there's nothing to do." Then he snapped and hung up.

Lu Fei didn't expect that she would be so determined to leave no room for anything. But he thought about it again, if she listened carefully to his explanation after the initial shock, expressed full understanding, and accepted it unconditionally, then she would not be Xin Chen.

Lu picked a Saturday night to go to Xin Kaiming's house, and said with a smile that he wanted to take Xin Chen out for a walk, and Li Xin naturally agreed. She took Xin Chen, who looked confused, to the hotel, and when she asked her opinion, she ordered a fresh fruit flame without looking at the menu. Entering a five-star hotel and eating HΓ€agen-Dazs, which was not officially sold in a local store at that time, she didn't look like an ordinary little girl's curiosity.

"Have you been here before?"

"My dad brought me here." Xin Kaiyu took his daughter to almost all the high-end hotels or restaurants in the city, and he once jokingly said that the reason for this was that his daughter would not easily fall for men only if she had experienced everything.

"Xiao Chen, I came to you to talk about Lu Fei, he was very uncomfortable during this time, and every time he went home, he locked himself in his room and didn't come out."

Xin Chen put the small spoon in his mouth and looked up at her, such an undignified action, she only looked innocent and coquettish, and Lu couldn't help but sigh at the power of youth.

"Lu is my sister, I am just as uncomfortable, but I still have to go to school and do homework. I can't just lock myself in my room and ignore people, and I have to pretend that I'm okay in front of my aunt and uncle. ”

Lu was a little surprised, he didn't expect her to stop talking so quickly, Lu is understanding that he probably couldn't coax her with a child's tone, "Xiaochen, don't you want him to leave here to study in the United States?" ”

Xin Chen said neatly: "Yes." ”

"But he's not yet 22 years old, you're only 17 years old, have you ever wondered what the future holds?"

"I didn't think too far, you thought of the future, can the future be the same as you hoped? All I know is that now that he's by my side, I'm happy. ”

"If going out to study is good for both of you in the future, wouldn't you want him to go? Three years is not a long time. ”

"I met Lu Fei when I was 14 years old, and it's been three years since I was this year, and I've been very happy in the past three years, and I guess he should be happy too. If he doesn't think it's worth staying for such a happy time, then I won't pester him, and I promised my dad that I won't pester anyone. ”

"The current situation is like this, Xiaochen, our parents are very strict with us, I also went to study abroad after graduating from university, Lu Fei is not willing to go now, he thinks that your parents are not around, if he leaves, you will be very lonely, but ......"

"If Lu Fei just pitied me, then there was no need." Xin Chen interrupted her rudely, her eyes glistened with tears, but she stubbornly opened wide, "My father loves me very much, my aunt and uncle and flute are very good to me, I am not an orphan." ”

Lu is ashamed, she has been in a state of confusion when she sees Lu Fei in the past few days, and decides to talk to Xin Chen in person, trying to induce her to accept the reality, so that Lu Fei can walk with peace of mind. At this time, he felt that if he continued to talk about it like this, he would simply bully a child, but he couldn't help but finish speaking, "Don't get me wrong, Xiaochen, of course Lu Fei likes you very much, otherwise he wouldn't have participated in the graduate school entrance examination and wanted to stay in the local area." But my parents asked him to go abroad for further study early on, and they would not accept him falling in love so early. He is very conflicted, and if you have faith in him, you should support him in his determination. I fully understand my brother's character, and as long as he promises to come back, he will definitely not miss the appointment. By then, you'll be almost 21 years old and you'll be able to decide your own life, what do you think? ”

"Lu is sister, you want me to go and tell him: Lu Fei, you go to study hard, I will wait for you here, right?" Xin Chen shook his head, "No, I wouldn't tell him that." You have faith in him, but I don't. I don't want anyone's promises, I want him to be by my side. He's leaving, and I'm done with him. He chooses for himself, if he wants me, or if he wants to go abroad, whatever he wants. ”

Lu couldn't help but be surprised by her arrogance, "If you force him to make a decision like this, he will either go against the will of his parents or against your will, no matter which decision he makes, he will not be happy." ”

"My dad told me that if you like someone, don't force them to make decisions. But if he likes me, he shouldn't force me to make a decision. My decision is that I don't pester anyone, and I don't wait for anyone. ”

"Xiao Chen, when I was your age, I also liked a boy. When I was 18 years old, I went to Shanghai to study, he went to Beijing, at that time the contact was not as convenient as now, we hated to communicate every day, as soon as the holiday came back to meet in a hurry, guess what happened? ”

Xin Chen looked at her with big eyes, "You probably didn't have a back." ”

Lu was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

"If you want to convince me with an example, of course you have to give an example of an 18-year-old relationship that didn't come later."

Lu is smiling, and he couldn't help but look at her with admiration, "You kid, hehe, indeed, when we meet again, we feel that we are strangers to each other, and the other party is completely different from the person in memory and correspondence." Later, the letters became less and less, and it didn't take long for them to simply cut off contact. ”

Xin Chen smiled for the first time, "Lu is sister, are you trying to tell me that when I am my age, feelings are not serious, everyone will meet other people in the future, what was thought to be important in the past will become unimportant in the future, right?" But the more this happens, the more I should insist that we have to be together? I don't think you would have been a stranger if you were with that boy in the first place. ”

Lu was dumbfounded, looking at the upright girl in front of him and smiling bitterly, "If you stay together, you may become a stranger." Xiao Chen, it seems that I have to tell you all about my love history today. When I was studying abroad, I met someone I liked, and we fell in love. After I graduated, I refused to listen to my father and returned to China, I just wanted to be with him...... "She stopped, it was a secret she had never told anyone, but she didn't know how to talk about this girl." She smiled wistfully, stroked the ring on her left ring finger, and couldn't speak anymore for a moment.

"Is it your father who insists that you go back to China, and you have to be separated?" Xin Chen was moved by curiosity and asked directly.

"No, it's not that dramatic, my dad is very strict, yes, but it's not that fierce. Well, anyway, I stayed there and worked for three years, until I became a little stranger with him, and then ......," she shrugged and stretched out her left hand to Xin Chen, "and I came back and decided to marry another man." ”

Xin Chen only glanced at the diamond ring, obviously not aware of this, "But you must have a happy time." I don't know how long I'll like Lu Fei, and I don't know how long Lu Fei will like me. If one day, he doesn't like me, or I don't like him anymore, I can accept it. But I think it's the stupidest thing to be when we don't get together when we like each other. ”

"You don't care what my parents think, do you?"

"What they think is my business."

Lu was speechless, and if he continued to talk, he would be stunned by this child's simple but powerful logic, so he could only sigh again, "I can't imagine that you really have a lot of ideas, you can think about it again, Xiaochen, I won't say anything more, Lu Fei really has to make his own decisions." But I can honestly say that in the current situation, my parents will never accept his reason for staying, and he probably can't take his parents' opinion as seriously as you do. ”

The road was to send Xin Chen home, and greeted Li Xin and Xin Kaiming: "I took Xiaochen to eat something just now, the little girl is very interesting." I'm getting married next month, so Uncle Xin and Aunt Li will be sure to attend my wedding if you have time. She turned her head to look at Xin Chen, who was also looking at her, and her eyes finally showed a little haste and pleading, but she stubbornly turned her head away immediately.

Later, Lu never saw Xin Chen again, when she got married, Xin Kaiming couldn't leave work, Xin Di accompanied her mother to the south to attend the wedding, and acted as her bridesmaid.

Lu is wearing a pearl white satin wedding dress is custom-made in Hong Kong, the style is simple and noble, Xin Di helped her tidy up the skirt, and praised her sincerely: "Lu is a sister, so beautiful, the famous design is different, it makes my heart itch." ”

"Xiaodi, do you hate to marry?"

Xin Di laughed, "Married, forget it, I'm not interested, I'm itching to take wedding dress design as the direction of development." ”

Lu Fei knocked on the door and came in, informing that the groom's convoy had come, Xin Di excitedly rushed out to see the excitement, and only the two sisters and brothers were left in the room. They exchanged a look in the mirror, and Lu knew that his brother, who had just spoken to his father, had already made a decision. She could only stretch out her elbow-length white silk glove and gently pat his hand, deliberately not paying attention to her brother's frustrated brow.

Who can do it spontaneously? On that day, the siblings embarked on the path they had to take at the same time, and Lu Fei decided to go to a foreign country, and she became the wife of a man who was 8 years older than her and had only met a few times. No matter how hesitant and hesitant I was before, at this moment, I can only move forward.

Seven years have passed in a flash, and the girl standing in front of Lu is just now is wearing a gray T-shirt printed with an abstract human head, a washed blue denim skirt, flat-heeled sandals, her hair is curled into a small bun, and she is carrying a large white backpack, clean and refreshing, which is a common girl dress on the street in the local summer, her demeanor is calm and serene, and she and Lu Fei are not alarmed, and they met before, calling her "Lu is sister", the tone is polite and distant, and it is really far from the girl with a bit of wild instability in her memory.

"She's changed a lot." Lu Fei held the steering wheel and looked straight ahead, "Sister, I hope I can handle my own affairs this time." ”

"Listening to this tone, it seems to blame me for having a lot of things to do seven years ago."

"No, I don't blame you, it's that I'm not firm enough, I was an adult at that time, but I didn't think about it, she was still a child after all."

"I actually like her," Lu is chuckling lightly, "so brave and direct." Oh, now that I think about it, I really only had that courage when I was young, and when I met someone to kill someone and meet a Buddha*, even if the whole world stood in front of me, I dared to be the enemy of the whole world. ”

However, there is a terrible price to be paid for being an enemy of the whole world. Lu Fei looked at the road under the blazing sun in front of him and thought bitterly. Xin Chen faced him so calmly now, without a trace of dodging, she had probably learned to live in peace with all the unsatisfactory in this world, but she didn't know how difficult the process was.

"But do you think you've figured it out? Lu Fei, do you love the little girl in your memory, or the Xin Chen in front of you? Do you really know her now? Disillusionment from knowing is a terrible thing, and if it were me, I'd rather keep a little bit of good memories. ”

"You are not me, sister, no matter what Xiaochen becomes, in my heart, she is her."

"It's true that I'm not you," Lu is smiling, "you've been rational since you were a child, but my sister is a little fantasizing." I didn't expect that now, I have to face my life rationally, and you, have decided to start indulging in feelings. ”

Lu Fei's expression was slightly in a trance, "I just understood that living so big, I have never tried to indulge, even if I was so happy in the past, I also had all kinds of considerations, and I ended up like this." Before it's too late, I need to give myself a chance. ”

"Then you're really braver than me, Lu Fei. You know? Seven years ago, on the first few days of the wedding, I wanted to get my passport and escape, but I didn't dare to do that. ”

Lu Fei couldn't help but be surprised, he knew that although Lu was close to a flash marriage with his brother-in-law Su Jie, they had a good relationship after marriage, and Lu gave birth to a lovely girl in the winter of the second year, and then he was not a full-time wife at home, but was in charge of the development business of Haotian Group, and he did a very good job, which can be said to be a family and career. Unexpectedly, his sister lingered here before getting married, and he was in pain after making a choice, and he didn't pay attention to his sister's thoughts at all.

Noticing his expression, Lu is smiled, "Yes, I'm very bad, when I agreed to Su Jie's marriage proposal, I thought I had forgotten about the past to persuade myself." But when it came to the end, I hesitated, if I wasn't afraid that I wouldn't be able to face my parents in the future, I would probably have really bought a plane ticket and left. Later, I got married, and after giving birth to a baby, I hugged her, and I didn't know whether to laugh or celebrate my cowardice. ”

Lu Fei was silent. On the last day of last year, it was already late at night, he turned off the computer and went back to the bedroom, and found that Ji Ruoli had not slept yet, leaning on the head of the bed and also facing the notebook, looking at the wedding photos uploaded by his good friend's blog and smiling. ”

This was not the first time she had politely spoken to him, and his mother had told him more than once that "personal matters should be considered". He lost his mind for a moment in his eager gaze at her, and then smiled, "You won't mind if you don't have a very formal proposal." ”

Ji Ruoli pushed away the notebook, jumped up and hugged him tightly. Looking at her ecstatic look, he thought, well, so be it.

The wedding date they agreed on was early September this year, and if he hadn't seen Xin Chen's photo on the wall of Lin Yueqing's dormitory in May this year, then he was now on the eve of the wedding, maybe like his sister back then, with uncertainty, but he could only continue.
