Lu Fei drove the car into the yard just in time for Dai Weifan to open the trunk and put Xin Di's luggage inside. Xin Di watched Xin Chen, who had not returned overnight, get out of the Lu Fei car, and did not show surprise, but was a little happy. Lu Fei was still in a hurry to go to the meeting, said hello to them and left first.

Xin Chen walked over and said with a smile: "The passport and international flight tickets are placed in the innermost compartment of the bag, and the ID card and the ticket to Beijing are placed in the outer compartment, don't let this package leave your sight." ”

"It's really good for you to repeat my mother's words." Xin Di couldn't help laughing, hesitated, and whispered, "Tatsuko, no matter what my mother says, don't care, okay?" ”

Xin Chen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Don't worry about it, my aunt won't say anything about me." ”

After all, it was his mother, and Xin Di didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, "I'm leaving, you live here obediently, don't disappear silently without waiting for me to come back." ”

"No, you're just watching a fashion week, and the distribution of demolition money is probably not so efficient." Xin Chen yawned, "Dizi get in the car, don't miss the opportunity, have a safe journey." ”

Watching Dai Weifan drive the car out of the yard, Xin Chen went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes, and then brought all the real estate certificates and ID cards, and rushed to the demolition office to go through the formalities. The staff of the demolition and relocation office told her that after she signed, they would wait for them to arrange for an intermediary agency to conduct an investigation and assessment of the main body, decoration and ancillary facilities of her house, and send her the "Real Estate Appraisal Report" as soon as possible.

Xin Chen didn't expect to get the money right away, but she thought that after signing it, there would be no more business for her, and she didn't expect it to be so complicated at all. It was not easy to get out, she thought.

Out of the demolition office, she could only rush to the office of the advertising company Dai Weifan sullenly, Yan Xuhui has returned to Beijing after completing the shooting, she has worked overtime continuously during this time, repairing the picture, only Dai Weifan needs to review it for the last time, put forward revisions, and finalize the post-production and printing.

Dai Weifan saw half of it, the phone rang, and a smile appeared on his face, "Xin Di called." As he got up, "Are you here?" Yes, Lao Yan should invite you to dinner, you wait a minute, I'll go out and tell you. ”

He strolled out of the office, Xin Chen continued to look at the picture, and after a while, a tall girl walked straight in and looked at her condescendingly, it was Shen Xiaona, who had met here some time ago. Xin Chen glanced at her, and his gaze returned to the LCD screen.

Shen Xiaona looked at her unceremoniously, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xin Chen replied nonchalantly: "Naturally, it's work." If you have a business negotiation, please contact Zhenzhen at the front desk. ”

Shen Xiaona ignored her, and her eyes fell on a new photo frame on Dai Weifan's desk, the inlaid photos were taken at Xin Di's press conference held in Beijing at the end of March this year, Dai Weifan walked on the catwalk to offer flowers, familiar reporters captured the moment when the two embraced, the brilliant lights hit the two of them, Dai Weifan wearing a royal blue shirt was magnificent, his tall and toned body leaned slightly towards the petite Xin Di, a bunch of lilies between the two, his face was about to touch her raised face, the picture was pleasing to the eye. David Fan had already received this photo, but only in the last few days he suddenly remembered it, found it and enlarged it and developed it on his desk.

Shen Xiaona saw it for the first time, she was a little surprised, she stretched out her hand and was about to pick it up and take a closer look, but she saw Xin Chen looking at her with a little smiling expression, she didn't want to lose the position, retracted her hand, walked around inadvertently, and sat in Dai Weifan's position, "Which clothing company's picture is this?" ”

Unexpectedly, Xin Chen immediately reached out and turned off the display screen, Shen Xiaona was first stunned by her actions, and then annoyed, "What do you mean?" ”

Xin Chen turned the swivel chair around for half a circle, stepped back from the desk a little, and faced her head-on, without the slightest intention of backing down, "If I'm not mistaken, you're also a clothing company, right?" These pictures are not convenient for you to see, if you can, please do not disturb my work. ”

Shen Xiaona doesn't want to say that she has to be windy and rainy in her own company, she has always been courteous when she goes in and out of this advertising company, and she is suddenly stunned in the face of such an unaccommodating treatment, just when Dai Weifan came back from the phone, he immediately shouted: "Weifan, why are you so rude?" ”

"Is there anything wrong with me, Cortana?"

"Can't I look for you if it's okay?"

At a glance, Dai Weifan had already seen Xin Chen's wait-and-see expression, and said with a straight face: "Xiao Na, I have arranged for Xiao Liu to follow up on the production of promotional materials you commissioned, and if you have any specific requirements, you can directly mention them to him." ”

Shen Xiaona obviously didn't expect his tone to be so formal, and pointed at Xin Chen, "Weifan, introduce this young lady to me." ”

"Shen Xiaona, the design director of Sino Clothing, this is Xin Chen, a part-time graphic designer in our company." After Dai Weifan officially introduced it, he added clearly, "I am also the sister of my girlfriend Xin Di." ”

Shen Xiaona was taken aback, the name Xin Di is a loud name in the local clothing industry, her parents run a clothing company, and she has the name of a design director, so she has naturally heard of it. She looked at the photo on the table, and then at Dai Weifan, "When did Xin Di become your girlfriend?" ”

Dai Weifan said funny: "I don't need to report my private life in detail to the younger sister, right?!" ”

Shen Xiaona was almost choked, and her anger rose, so she could only force herself to hold on, squinting her eyes and smiling, "Okay, senior, I'll go find Xiao Liu." He turned and walked out of the office.

"That's a pass." Xin Chen pursed his lips, obviously not appreciative. Dai Weifan could only laugh at himself: "You are much more difficult to please than your sister." ”

Xin Chen smiled and turned on the display screen again, "Mr. Dai, not being ambiguous with others, it is the basic condition for sincere love, and my dizi's requirements for men are not so simple." ”

Dai Weifan naturally understood what she meant, laughed, and continued to look at the pictures with her, after all the revisions were reviewed, Xin Chen was about to leave, and Dai Weifan also got up, "Xin Chen, I'll send you back." ”

"No need."

"I didn't send it to you on purpose, I forgot the Bluetooth headset at Xin Di's yesterday, I have to pick it up."

Xin Chen could only helplessly get into his car, and the two of them went upstairs together, she took the key to open the door, but she was stunned, Li Xin was sitting on the sofa, folding the clothes she had put away. Xin Di has always neglected housework, usually hiring a part-time worker, and coming to clean three times a week. No matter how she protested, Li Xin never gave up taking care of her, and would come over every once in a while to clean up her room and sort out the clothes and quilts for the seasons.

Li Xin's eyes sharply looked at Xin Chen and Dai Weifan, who entered the door at the same time, Dai Weifan was indeed startled by this look, and instinctively thought of his stay last night, only thinking that the old lady probably already knew about it.

Xin Chen said calmly: "Mr. Dai, look for where you put the headphones." ”

Dai Weifan came back to his senses, "Hello Auntie, I sent Xiaodi back yesterday and left the headphones here." He saw that the headphones were on the coffee table, and hurriedly picked them up, "Are you going back now?" I'll send you. ”

"No, little Dai." Li Xin said in a very kind tone, "You can go with your business, I'll sit down for a while." ”

After Dai Weifan left, Xin Chen thought, I'm afraid I still can't avoid a positive conversation, remembering Xin Di's warning before leaving in the morning, she sat on another sofa and waited for Li Xin to speak.

"Xiao Chen, what do you think of me and your uncle to you?"

This standard opening line made her cry and laugh a little, "It's good for me!" ”

Li Xin smiled, "You don't have to be reluctant, your uncle is really good to you, he loves you no less than he hurts Xiaodi, and sometimes he even cares more about you than he does for her." As for me, the big aunt, I know we've never been close, but I think I've never treated you badly. ”

"You've taken good care of me."

"Yes, I have a clear conscience about that. Dizi is your cousin, and she has always treated you as her own sister, so you have no objection to this, right? ”

Li Xin's voice was soft, Xin Chen was speechless, and could only nod silently.

"So I hope you know how to be grateful."

"Auntie, I have already gone to the demolition office in the morning to sign, and I will go to Kunming as soon as I get the money."

Li Xin nodded, "Xiao Chen, it's not that I want to drive you away, if you just live in my house, I have never refused, but the current situation is not so simple." I don't want to be a wicked person, there are some things I have to explain to you. Before you gave birth, your grandparents asked me to come to me, insisting that I claim to be pregnant, and after you were born, we would take you back to register for the household registration, so as to save your father the reputation of an unmarried father and hinder his future life. Your uncle is a foolish and filial person, and he actually agreed. He didn't want to think about it at all, we are all civil servants, how can we openly violate the family planning policy, and we don't want a future and don't want to suffer from this righteous anger in public office? For this matter, he and I turned against each other for the first time, and the quarrel was close to the point of divorce, and he compromised. ”

Xin Chen didn't expect such a past, she smiled slightly bitterly, "Grandparents' request is indeed unreasonable, you should refuse." ”

"Our husband and wife have always had a good relationship, and we have never blushed before that, and every time we quarrel in the future, the reason can be said to be mostly inseparable from you or your father. Including that time, in order to keep your father from going to jail, your uncle used a lot of connections, and it cannot be said that it has no impact on his reputation and position at all. Even if I'm not good enough for you, he's done his best to be benevolent. So, I'm a little selfish now, and I'm sure you're understandable. You can't ...... if you follow the road."

"I really don't need to say anything more, auntie. I cherish Uncle and Dizi's feelings for me, and thank you for tolerating me for so many years, I don't mind what you think of me, but there is no need to say it, it's not interesting to hurt the harmony. Xin Chen looked at Li Xin with a calm expression, "I promise you now that I will leave as soon as possible and will not do anything to embarrass Uncle and Dizi, is this okay?" ”

After Li Xin left, Xin Chen only felt that his palms were full of cold sweat, and his heartbeat was so heavy that it seemed to resonate in his ears. She lay down on the couch and followed the yoga breathing technique she had practiced for a while, relaxing her body and slowly adjusting her breathing until her heartbeat gradually returned to its normal rhythm.

After lying for an unknown amount of time, she fell into a dream, walking alone on a dark and narrow road, surrounded by absolute silence, she could only repeat her steps in a monotonous manner, and there was always an unchanging gray scene on both sides, there was no end in sight ahead, and there was no way to look back, such a desperate trek, but she could not stop.

The ringtone of the mobile phone woke her up, and she lay silently until she regained her mobility, struggling to pick up the mobile phone on the coffee table, which was called by Lu Fei. She pressed answer, and Lu Fei's voice came: "Xiaochen, can I come and pick you up for dinner now?" ”

She should have been grateful that the call had brought her out of her nightmare, but his always gentle and calm tone made her suddenly angry, and she yelled fiercely, "I don't eat, I don't eat." Hung up casually, threw the phone on the coffee table, the fuselage collided with the glass on the coffee table and made a piercing crisp sound, she was startled, only to calm down, frustrated blindfolded.

As night fell, the room was so quiet that she felt suffocated, she got up, turned on the light, turned on the TV, and lay back on the couch.

She gave up the TV when she was renovating her home and only watched online TV on the computer in her spare time. There was a variety show on the screen in front of me, and the host and guests were gagging, which made the room a little angry.

She slowly regained her composure, thinking that the work at hand was over, and she didn't plan to pick up new jobs to stumble herself, and she was afraid that she would have to wait for nothing next. She had never been in a hurry, but now she suddenly couldn't bear to stay in the city without a specific deadline.

The doorbell rang, Xin Chen went to open the door, and saw Lu Fei standing at the door, she was sorry for the attack on the phone just now, but she really couldn't mobilize the mood of polite hospitality. However, Lu Fei ignored her tense face, walked straight to the restaurant, opened the food box in his hand, and went to the kitchen to take out the dishes and chopsticks, "Come and eat." ”

Xin Chen couldn't figure out the situation a little, she thought, could it be that she still said something that shouldn't be said after drinking last night, so that now Lu Fei put on a natural posture of care.

What Lu Fei brought was a fried eel, a braised bamboo shoots, and a fish fillet soup, which were placed on the table hot and fragrant, and she was indeed hungry, so she decided that there was no need to be awkward, so she happily sat down opposite him and ate it.

Neither of them spoke, as if it was natural to sit and eat like this. After Xin Chen finished eating, he neatly cleaned up the table, took the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen to wash and put them away, and when he came out, he saw Lu Fei standing by the living room window looking outside, and the tall and long back under the soft light made her stand still, and she was in a trance.

At this time, Lu Fei suddenly turned around, this old-fashioned house has a long depth, and the two eyes met across the narrow living room and dining room, Xin Chen didn't have time to put that casual smile on her face, and for a moment, she was so tired that she could barely support it, leaning against the kitchen door frame.

Lu Fei walked over, took her hand, led her to the sofa, and sat her down, "Did something happen today?" ”

"You really have faith in me, you actually think that I will only lose my temper unreasonably after an accident."

He smiled, "Yes, I'd like to see you have a seizure without fear, but you're too much in control right now." ”

"Who has the right to have no scruples about others? I'm sorry I was angry with you just now. It's really not in a good mood, and I can't maintain basic politeness. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to apologize, tell me why."

"The demolition procedures are too cumbersome, and it's boring for a while, and there is no special reason."

"Are you in a hurry to leave?"

"It's urgent." Xin Chen smiled bleakly, "If it weren't for the fact that the uncle was too busy with work, I would entrust him with the demolition matter, and then leave quickly, at least leaving a more personable back for everyone." ”

"I asked you last night, if I asked you to stay, would you agree?"

Xin Chen tried to think about it, but he didn't understand the point, "I shouldn't have said anything, even if I did, it was still drunk, and it couldn't be true." ”

Lu Fei sighed with a smile, "You are so drunk, you ignore my request." ”

His eyes looked at her with affection, and she once again found that under such gaze, she would involuntarily relax and weaken, and could only avoid his gaze, "What are you going to do, Lu Fei?" Do you want to see how cold and rude I can be? ”

"I want to keep you, it's clumsy, and I know very well that the tighter my grip is, the more anxious you will be to break free, but I can't help but try."

"It's a terrible thing to get into a dependency on someone, and I'm not going to let myself go through it again, and even more so I have a good reason not to stay, so don't try, okay?"

Lu Fei stared at her, "I'm sorry to make you so unhappy." ”

Xin Chen smiled, "Lu Fei, don't tell me I'm sorry. You're always like this, you can't help but have to be soft-hearted, and if you keep talking, I'll really be sorry for you. But you don't owe me anything, don't insist on my happiness or life as your responsibility, you can't afford it, and I don't dare to let others bear it. ”

"You treat me as a good-natured person who is soft-hearted and guilty, trapped by a self-righteous sense of responsibility." The smile on the corner of Lu Fei's mouth deepened, "But Xiao Chen, if I still want to be responsible for your life today, I really don't know anything about you." I just want you to be happy, whether it is me or not. ”

The next morning, Xin Chen received a call from the demolition and relocation office, informing her that she must go over to go through the formalities. She thought it was an intermediary to inspect her house, and listlessly agreed.

It was raining lightly outside, and there was a slight coolness in the air. Xin Chen went to the demolition office and reported her name to the staff, and after a while, the general manager of the demolition company, who claimed to be surnamed Wang, received her in person and told her that as long as she signed a few documents, the demolition money would be credited to her account immediately.

Looking at those documents with cumbersome contents, Xin Chen couldn't help but be puzzled, and Mr. Wang said politely: "Miss Xin, you also know that this demolition project was developed by Haotian Group, and Mr. Lu called from Shenzhen early in the morning, so we naturally acted according to her instructions." ”

He picked up his mobile phone and dialed the phone, and after saying a few words, he handed it to Xin Chen, "Mr. Lu, please listen to the phone." ”

Xin Chen took the phone, and it was indeed Lu Shi's voice coming from inside: "Xiaochen, hello." ”

"Lu is sister, hello."

"I have already told Mr. Wang, you just need to sign the documents and give him the bank account number, and he will complete the formalities for you in the shortest possible time."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, Xiaochen."

This turn of events came too unexpectedly, Xin Chen put down his phone, calmed down and thought about it, and concluded that there was no need to hesitate. She quickly signed the paperwork and handed the relevant ownership certificate and keys to the staff. After a while, the cashier came over and gave her the transfer voucher, and the house, which was less than 70 square meters, turned into a sum of cash, no more, no less, and lay on her bank account.

Coming out of the demolition office, the rain was a little heavier, Xin Chen walked a few steps with an umbrella, and couldn't help but stop and look at the place where he had lived since he was a child across the street.

Some of the storefronts along the street have been closed, and some have put up slogans such as "demolition sale" to attract customers.

She slowly looked up at her home.

On the balcony on the fifth floor, the morning glory leaves are still green, and the purple-red flowers have bloomed, or in a few days, there will be no new buds, the leaves will gradually wither and wither, and the vines will gradually wither. This once densely populated residential area will be relocated, demolished into ruins, and a shopping plaza with high-end office buildings and apartments will be erected.

If she ever returned, she would never find a trace of the old days again.

Xin Chen didn't let herself stay any longer, she walked along the street, found an airline ticket office, went in to inquire about flights, discounts, and booked an early flight ticket the next day. After walking out with the good ticket, she called Xin Kaiming, of course he was surprised, "Why is it so urgent?" ”

"Save me from delaying my father's wedding, he is also a big boss."

This naughty answer made the corners of Xin Kaiming's mouth twitch, but he really couldn't laugh. He is led by a secretary and has a clear understanding of the world. The demolition money hit Xin Chen's account at such an astonishing speed, Xin Chen decided to leave so without delay, where did he still have to think about the connection in between, he could only say in the same relaxed tone as possible: "Xiao Chen, come over for dinner in the evening." ”

"No, uncle, I still have to go buy something, I made an appointment with a friend in the evening, you help me talk to my aunt, I won't go to say goodbye in person, I'll call you as soon as I get to Kunming."

Lu Fei's phone came immediately, "Xiaochen, what time are you going to book a flight?" ”

Lu is thousands of miles away in Shenzhen, but suddenly intervened in this matter, Xin Chen of course didn't have to ask Lu Fei how he could ask this question, only told him the time of the ticket, and he sighed softly in the earpiece: "Why is it so urgent?" ”

She couldn't give him the answer she gave to her uncle, and was silent for a while, "Please thank Lu is sister for me, and thank you too." ”

This acknowledgment silenced Lu Fei as well. He was standing in front of the window, his new office behind him, with its well-lit teak floors, large desks well organized, dark bookcases filled with hardcover books, and a set of black leather sofas on the other side of the window, crystal vases with calla lilies in crystal vases on coffee tables, and tall potted broadleaf plants in the corners.

In the morning, Wang Feng presided over the board of directors and introduced him to shareholders and the company's senior management, and in the afternoon, there was a working meeting on investment project approval waiting for him, to talk with the managers of various departments, and to entertain customers in the evening. The secretary began to arrange the schedule as he was instructed, and he was already in a state of intense work.

The glass curtain wall insulates the hustle and bustle of the city beneath your feet, but the sound of the mobile phone earpiece is clearly heard: rain on umbrellas, cars passing by all the time, motorcycles and electric car horns are constantly ringing, and people are noisy. He could imagine that she was standing on the street of the city, holding her mobile phone like him, maintaining a posture of standing and listening, as if the rain was falling, the traffic around her and the people coming and going, as if she had nothing to do with it.

The intercom phone rang on his desk, and he said to the phone, "I'm sorry." In the past, I pressed the answer, and the secretary's crisp voice came: "Mr. Lu, it's time for the meeting." ”

"Got it, thanks."

Xin Chen opened his mouth: "You're busy, I have to go buy some things too, goodbye." ”

"Xiaochen, I'm going to a meeting soon, and I have a party in the evening, it's estimated that it will be late, and I'll pick you up at the airport tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thanks."

When Lu Fei came over to ring the doorbell, Xin Chen had just gotten up, opened the door with a toothbrush, and then ran back to the bathroom. The early flight she booked with the biggest discount had already calculated the time to freshen up calmly, but Lu Fei came early to her surprise, she could only speed up the speed of brushing her teeth, washing her face and combing her hair, curling her hair into a small bun, and then going to change clothes, "I'll be fine right away." ”

"Don't rush, eat early first."

Lu Fei brought xiaolongbao and soy milk, and when Xin Chen looked at the wrapping paper bag, he knew that it was produced by a local time-honored brand without a branch. She used to love to eat this, and Lu Fei clearly knew that when she went to see her during the holidays, she would go out of her way to buy it first and then hurry to her house, watching her eat with a smile.

At this moment, under his gaze, she was a little unate, barely finished eating, got up and ran out to close the windows of all the rooms, and then picked up the suitcase and notebook bag that had been packed last night, "Okay, let's go." ”

Lu Fei took it, saw her lock the door, and the two of them went downstairs together. Yesterday's rain came and went, and I don't know when it stopped at night, and the morning air was fresh and quiet. Xin Chen stood under the acacia tree and waited for the road to come over, the breeze blew, and the rain accumulated on the leaves slid down on her, she was not wary at all, and the coolness made her snort. Lu Fei saw her looking up at the tall acacia tree in the rearview mirror, shaking the water from her hair, a light smile on her beautiful face, he held his breath, and could barely hold the steering wheel on his own.

It had been 11 years since he saw her shake the acacia tree in a naughty manner, create a rain of flowers, and then shake her head and shake off the petals on her body, and they had been infinitely close, and then they had drifted apart, far away from each other. Now that he was about to send her away, the distance between them would be widened again.

Lu Fei drove the car out of the city, and when he was about to get on the airport expressway, he suddenly said: "Xiaochen, it won't take long to take you to see your flowers." ”

Without waiting for Xin Chen to answer, he had already turned the steering wheel and drove into an exit to the left.

A straight avenue in front of him leads to a large area of criss-crossing natural lakes in the suburbs, Xin Chen used to come here in his spare time to participate in the hiking around the lake, deep into the hinterland of the lake and the river, he is no stranger to the environment here, and also noticed the community under construction on the side of the lake, at that time, the companions also argued that this place played the brand of the largest wetland ecological reserve in the suburbs, but approved whether the residential community construction project was reasonable, but in any case, the villa built on the shore of such a beautiful lake caused everyone to unanimously look hot, and they temporarily interrupted the trip, went to the sales department, and several netizens with financial strength also specially inquired about the price with the staff.

The weather was not clear, the sky was cloudy, and from the car, there was a light mist flowing on the surface of the lake, and along the shore of the lake was a row of tall and straight metasequoias, outlining the shoreline. Lu Fei drove into the community and parked in front of a townhouse, he got out of the car, went around to open the car door for Xin Chen, and reached out to hold her hand, she could only take advantage of the situation to get out of the car.

A tall man led a light yellow golden retriever retriever, leisurely walking through the wet front driveway, birds chirping in the trees, with the unique tranquility of the morning after the rain.

This is a three-storey villa that has not yet been renovated, like other villas, uniform blue-gray wall tiles, with a sunroom, the attached garage is not equipped with a door, hollow towards the courtyard, and the yard has not been cleaned up in any way, just a corner neatly placed flowers moved from her house, pots are growing well, two pots of begonias sprout small fruits, geraniums heart-shaped leaves are rolling with water droplets, all kinds of moon seasons are blooming lively, the eye-catching nearly one-meter-high bamboo branches and leaves are stretched, and there are no withered flowers hanging on the branches, there are no yellow leaves, and it can be seen that they are being carefully cared for these days.

"I've already found someone to come up with a design, and I'll start decorating it in a few days."

The corners of Xin Chen's mouth turned up, and he smiled, "The environment here is good, but," she casually took down her chin and pointed at the flowers, "I plant flowers based on the principle of good feeding and lively flowers, they don't necessarily match the environment here, after you decorate, you can find a garden design to plan the courtyard and choose the right varieties." ”

Lu Fei's voice was unhurried, "I don't need to find someone to plan what is best for me. I'm just telling you, half a month ago, I bought this house; Yesterday, I just took over a new job locally. In the future, I may visit family, go on business trips, or go on vacation, but most of the time, I will settle here. ”

Xin Chen turned his head and wrote clearly in his eyes: Why are you telling me this?

Lu Fei looked at her, and his eyes were also clearly written: You should know why.

He stared at her, his gaze deep. Xin Chen found out again that the man standing in front of her had a calm posture, she couldn't resist his gaze, and turned her head to look at the flowers again, "Okay, it's still the same sentence, everyone walks and stays, come and go, just be happy." ”

"Telling you this, I'm not using my plan to bind you. I just want you to know that if you don't want me to stay with you now, then I'll stay here and wait for you for as long as you want. Xin Chen was speechless, and Lu Fei said briefly, "Let's go, I'll take you to the airport." ”

The two got in the car, Lu Fei drove to the airport, checked her in and checked her luggage, and sent her to the security checkpoint, she took her notebook bag and looked back at him, "I never waited for you, Lu Fei, I don't need you to compensate me in this way." ”

"I must say that this is compensation, and it is also compensation for the shortcomings of my own life. Forgive me for my selfishness, Xiao Chen, I can't keep you, I should have let you live the life you want to live without any burden, but I still can't help but impose this wait on you. ”

Xin Chen's gaze wandered, "I can only say that a wait that I don't want to accept will probably not bind me." ”

Lu Fei smiled, "Yes, I only use it to bind myself, you are free." ”

"Freedom?" Xin Chen also smiled, "When I was a child, I dreamed that when I grew up, I would wander the world as my home and enjoy a free life, and now I can control my own life, but I can't be sure, this is the freedom I want." Goodbye, Lu Fei. ”

She walked straight into the security checkpoint, placed her laptop bag on the security conveyor belt, passed through the metal detector door, picked up the bag and walked straight in.

Lu Fei stared as the figure disappeared from his sight.

He did have many opportunities to keep her, but he chose to let go, and almost untied the shackles that kept her with his own hands.

The night she came out of the Forever bar, she was drunk, lying in his arms, talking sporadically and non-stop, talking about the days with him, wandering on the boulevard behind the park, watching movies with him, listening to him play the piano, playing chess with him, talking about the rainbow that suddenly appeared over the Gannan Labuleng Temple, the sea of flowers and grass in the sunset, the lonely smoke and sunset on the vast Gobi, the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the traveling friends who traveled with him, the small inn without lights, the rainforest overgrown with leeches, the muddy mountain road, and the snakes jumping through the grass... …

In the silence of the street in the middle of the night, occasionally a car drove by, and the headlights flickered, and her voice gradually became faint and indistinct, close to exhaustion, but still refused to stop. He picked her up in the car and looked at the time, it was past midnight. He drove the car back to his lodgings, carried her to the elevator home, and put her on his bed, she looked up blankly, and suddenly raised her arms to hug him tightly, and kissed him on the lips, his lips reacted before his consciousness, and the two lips and tongues were intertwined, with the smell of wine, just as urgent.

The last kiss was nearly eight years ago, and it aroused his adolescent lust for the first time, making him almost unable to control himself; And at this moment in his arms is the girl he dreamed of, he kissed her neck, sucked her violently beating carotid artery, thin blood vessels pulsated between his teeth, he bit down, with a force that seemed to want to devour her, she hissed in pain, trembling under him, he suddenly woke up, let go of her, but she rolled over and fell on top of him, and said vaguely: "Bite me?" She bit him hard, the hot breath of his breath sprayed on his neck, he didn't move, bearing the sweet pain, only gently caressing her back, her teeth gradually relaxed, her lips pressed in place, her body relaxed in his arms, her breathing slowly steady, sinking into sleep.

Lu Fei moved her to her side and lay down, staring at her closely. The face had a serene expression, long eyelashes casting a row of shadows under the eyelids, swollen lips slightly open, and the breath still smelled of wine.

Although the physical needs of the two men were equally honest and passionate, he knew that she was suffering from the euphoric indulgence of drunkenness, and if he possessed her at this time, she would have fled even further when she woke up.

He could not indulge his desires and take this opportunity to impose himself on her.

After coming out of Xin Di's house the night before, Lu Fei sat in the car and called Lu Shi first. Listening to his request, Lu was surprised: "Did you ask me to do this to encourage her to leave immediately?" ”

"She's not happy to be here right now."

Lu is chuckling, as if sighing, "Lu Fei, I hope you know what you want." ”

"I always knew that I wanted her, but I can't keep her now, so I have to give her freedom." He also laughed, "The best way to imprison a person is to make the prison infinite." ”

His tone was relaxed, as if he was joking, and Lu Shi could only smile and shake his head in agreement.

Xin Chen really couldn't wait to leave, without a trace of hesitation and nostalgia. They were only a stone's throw away at the moment, and as the plane took off, they were about to be thousands of miles apart, but he didn't regret his decision.

Lu Fei drove back to the city where there was no longer Xin Chen and continued his work.
