Chapter Twenty-Eight: Weak Depression
After being discharged from the hospital, Li Kuitian forbade Huo Jingyu to come to the studio to take classes in order to let him recuperate, and also forbade him to worry about these trivial things.
Indeed, although Huo Jingyu was discharged from the hospital, his physical function has not yet recovered, and the two openings in his lower abdomen can only heal naturally, and he will have to wait for a while longer to fully recover.
Cheng Ye hadn't seen Huo Jingyu for a long time, no one knew where he had traveled, and his phone was turned off, she was in a hurry, afraid that something bad would happen to him.
When she asked him, they weren't worried at all, even Lin Weihe had this attitude. She is not stupid, they must have something to hide from her, and it is very likely that Huo Jingyu instructed her.
She ran to the studio to ask for clarification, but she didn't expect to see a familiar face.
Isn't that a convenience store clerk?
Gide squatted next to the paint cabinet and dug for paint, talking and laughing with the students from time to time.
"Sister Ye!"
The little face ran towards her in surprise, still holding a spatula in his hand.
"Sister Ye, why are you here?" She asked happily.
Cheng Ye smiled and touched her head, "Is your brother Tian here?" ”
"Yes, he's washing the car in the back."
"Okay, let's draw it seriously." Leaving a loving smile, Cheng Ye went to the parking apron.
As soon as she saw Li Kuitian, she asked, "Brother, did Jing Yu really go on a trip?" ”
"yes." Li Kuitian looked at her impatiently: "How many times have you asked?" ”
"Then why aren't you worried? He's been alone for so long. ”
"Doesn't he often go away for months, why are you so worried about doing, and he's not a child."
Cheng Ye flattened his mouth, "Is that the new teacher?" ”
"Oh! Yes, at a young age, the level is very good. ”
"How long have you been here?"
"It's been a while."
"What's it called?"
"Gide."
It's really the convenience store clerk.
"What? You ask so much, he is younger than you, don't eat grass from old cows. Li Kuitian said worriedly.
Cheng Yebai glanced at him, "Don't worry, I'm not interested!" With that, she yawned sleepily and turned to leave.
"Let's go? Help me wash my car! Li Kuitian shouted loudly.
Recently, he has been busy with work, often busy until the second half of the night, Cheng Ye didn't even want to drive the car, and stopped a taxi.
"Master, please drive safely, it's okay to drive slowly."
The driver smiled: "Girl, don't worry, my car is more than 30 years old, and it is very stable." ”
"Then I'm sorry for you."
The driver smiled politely, it was rare to meet such a polite young man, and he couldn't help but look in the rearview mirror.
The driver glanced at her again, frowned uncertainly, was silent for a short while, glanced at her again and couldn't help asking, "Little girl, what profession do you have?" ”
Cheng Ye was tilting his head and leaning on the back of the chair, forcing himself to watch more entertainment news. She thought for a moment and replied, "Teacher." ”
"Really? But how do I look familiar to you? With that, the red light stopped.
Cheng Ye watched the driver take out his mobile phone and didn't know what he was looking for, she saw the green light on and reminded him: "Master, the green light is green." ”
"Oh, I found it, do you see if it's you?" The driver handed her the phone.
Cheng Ye took it suspiciously, it was indeed her photo, she was holding Rian.
Some time ago, she took Ryan, the most talented person in the studio, to the field to participate in a competition about original music.
The program team needed to make some words of encouragement to the contestants, so she appeared in full makeup as a music recommender, and recited the script in front of the camera in an unnatural official tone. Unexpectedly, it also stirred up a small splash, and some netizens shouted for human flesh, a cool-looking young lady.
Cheng Ye glanced at the driver and began to pretend to be stupid, she said, "Of course it's not me!" How can I be so good-looking. ”
There is only one reason to pretend to be stupid, her current appearance can only be described as sloppy, I really don't know how this driver recognized her.
"I think it's you, and the more I look at it, the more it looks like you. My daughter clamored to see this boy every day, and adolescent children are especially difficult to discipline! ”
Ryan became popular because of this show, he is talented and humble, the key is to have a model body, angelic looks and a silly smile. After the first episode of the show was broadcast, it successfully fascinated a little sister and an old sister.
Cheng Ye smiled, "Anyway, it's not me." ”
The driver didn't argue with her, and in his heart he thought it was her.
When he arrived downstairs, Cheng Ye dragged his heavy steps home.
"Ahh
After lying down for a while, she walked into the room and took out the gramophone that Huo Jingyu gave her and placed it next to the TV.
She listened to the deep lullaby, but the sleepiness suddenly ran away, and she was going crazy.
"Am I going to die suddenly? A woman who lived alone in an apartment died suddenly at home late at night. She stared at the ceiling and muttered to herself.
"Ahh I am hungry! ”
She yelled again, grabbed her purse and went to the convenience store across the street, which was her new favorite.
As soon as she entered, she went straight to the freezer to get a bottle of barley tea, then came to the counter, stared at the various meat products that made her salivate, touched her lips and said, "Hmm...... Bring me a grilled chicken chop, flour kueh and ...... Udon bar. ”
"In the case of udon, is it still beef sauce mixed with all the sauce?"
Hearing the convenience store clerk say this, she looked up in surprise, "Oh! You! Gide? She pointed at Gide, looking silly with her mouth open.
Gide said with some surprise: "You know my name? ”
"I don't just know your name, I know you work in the studio." Cheng Ye put the barley tea on the counter and said.
Gide's expression was natural, and he smiled and asked, "Wow, do you have prophetic abilities?" ”
"Uh-huh~" Cheng Ye nodded: "No, I saw it today, Li Kuitian is my brother, I went to see him today and saw you, I thought I was wrong." ”
Gide tilted his head and said, "I didn't see you." ”
"You're digging for paint very seriously, when are you going to make udon for me? I've been hungry for a long time. ”
"I'm sorry." Gide reacted and immediately cooked it for her.
Cheng Ye sat on a chair eating chicken chops, pulled a tissue to wipe his mouth, and asked him, "Why do you have a job and still work here?" As far as I know, the salary in the studio is not low, right? ”
Ji De replied while mixing the ingredients: "I teach sketching, and I only schedule classes in the afternoon, so I think this time is wasted, so I will work the evening shift here." ”
"What time do you get off work?"
"Six o'clock."
Cheng Ye said in surprise: "Then where do you live?" ”
"Nearby." Gide brought her the noodles.
"Thank you." Cheng Ye stared at the face and asked, "Did you give me two servings?" ”
She continued: "The last time I went to the convenience store where you used to work, the new clerk made only half of this bowl, and she said that one pack was enough. ”
"Yes." Gide readily admitted.
Cheng Ye stared at him with round eyes and incomprehension: "Why?" ”
"You buy a lot every time, I'm afraid you won't have enough to eat." Gide said calmly.
"But you're only going to take me a share?"
"This kind of noodle is highly profitable, and the boss can't see that there is one more pack and one less pack."
Cheng Ye didn't know how to answer and thanked him hardcorely, but he was not allowed to do it anymore.
Before leaving, Gide called out to her, "Can we exchange numbers?" ”
Cheng Ye looked at him, and he said embarrassedly: "I just think we are quite fated to meet each other often, and we can be friends." ”
Cheng Ye never gives a phone number to a man other than his work partner, which involves privacy. But she still took his phone and typed a string of numbers into it.
"Thank you." Gide smiled and thanked her, and watched her go out.
He glanced down at his phone, burst out laughing, looked at her distant back, and felt cute in desperation.
He stared at the short 7 numbers given by Cheng Ye and smiled and laughed.
The inner courtyard of the forest house.
Old man Lin Xian was wearing a white-veined robe and sat on a wooden chair waiting, with a wooden carved crutch beside him.
The old man directly ignored Lin Zhinan and beckoned to his favorite granddaughter.
Lin Weihe jumped over and gave him a big hug, and the words on his lips were very sweet, which made the old man smile.
"Grandpa cut your hair like this, don't blame grandpa?"
Lin Weihe shook his head, "It's easy to wash your hair for such a short time." ”
The old man nodded with satisfaction: "The injuries on his body are all healed?" ”
"Well, it's good morning."
Lin Weihe and Lin Zhinan looked at each other, and she asked, "Grandpa, what are you asking us to come back for?" ”
The old man took out a thick red envelope, "Reward you!" ”
Lin Weihe happily took it and said sweetly: "Thank you, grandpa!" But why do you want to give me a red envelope? ”
The old man's expression was subtle, and several emotions were mixed together, he said: "The wife of an old comrade-in-arms of mine has passed away, and his son's life is not good, and only a precious grandson is left." He said bitterly, but there is no point, does this have anything to do with giving her a red envelope?
"He has bad legs and feet, and he is often hospitalized with no one to accompany him."
Speaking of this, Lin Weihe heard something out of the way, "Does Grandpa want me to accompany your old comrades-in-arms?" ”
The old man hesitated for a while and nodded, "So to speak, aren't you about to go on vacation, you can go with your grandfather to see his old man's house if you have nothing to do." ”
Seeing that Lin Weihe readily agreed, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. But his mind couldn't escape Lin Zhinan's eyes.
The old man stood up on crutches and changed the topic, "How are you and Xiao Zhen doing?" ”
There was something in his words, Lin Zhinan couldn't understand it, and the two grandparents were deadlocked.
Lin Weihe saw their gunsmoke, didn't dare to ask anything, just stayed quietly aside, she couldn't stand it after a few minutes, she wanted to avoid this war, she stood up suddenly and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to play!" ”
As soon as Lin Weihe left, Lin Zhinan threw the black box he had carried all the way to the ground and smashed it with a loud noise: "Are you only going to do this trick?" ”
The old man looked at the gold nuggets that were thrown out, "What a good boy, I don't recognize money." ”
"Not everyone is like you, who only recognizes money!"
The old man swung his stick down and landed his leg.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to! Let me tell you, I've already looked for someone, and he should retreat if he knows each other, what are you entangled?! ”
"You also know that I am pestering, why hurt him?! Grandpa, you are a soldier, a soldier with iron bones! Aren't you afraid of disappointing the country that trusts you by doing these things?! Lin Zhinan roared angrily.
The old man said calmly: "I am a businessman now, and I don't hurt him, can you be obedient?" ”
"Okay, I won't hold you accountable for what you used to be, Xiao Zhen is a good girl, live a good life with her, and get rid of your bad third-rate problems."
Lin Zhinan stared at the old man with cold eyes, and said word by word: "If you drive him away, I'll change it, if you still drive him, I'll look for it again, you are ready to drive away all the men in the world." ”
When the old man saw his grandson's attitude, he was so angry that he trembled, and he raised his crutches to beat him again.
"No matter how much you beat me or how many women you stuff at me, it doesn't change the fact that I like men." Lin Zhinan calmly stated his attitude, and his rebellious mood was undisguised.
"Evil obstacles! You wickedness! The old man clenched his fists and threw his crutches out to smash the vase on the other side. He sneered: "Originally, he could have been safe and sound, but now he is just living in a hospital, and it is up to you to decide what will happen in the future." ”
"Grandpa!" Lin Zhinan's eyes exploded.
"Your matter is a foregone conclusion, why don't you help me settle Weihe's matter as soon as possible." The old man's sudden leisure sat down to make tea, as if the anger just now was just an illusion.
"Weihe is still small!"
The old man didn't seem to hear it, and casually picked up the small porcelain cup that was hot, the calluses on his hands were enough to resist the heat, and he took a sip after blowing it cold.
"Don't you feel contradictory that you sent her to study abroad, and now you are marrying her?"
"Contradictions? I asked her to go abroad to study a major, not to let her learn the thinking of foreigners. Can the thousand-year-old society of my Greater China be easily reversed with a few words you say? ”
The old man's body has always been tough, but he is old, and he is still a little out of breath when he is excited. He said smoothly: "Your grandmother married me when she was 13 years old, and she gave birth to your father at the age of 14." Weihe is not small, so she will be married first. ”
Lin Zhinan narrowed his eyes: "You're not afraid that she will resist and run away from home?" ”
Hearing this, the old man laughed and said: "She doesn't even have basic living skills, and she is nothing when she leaves this home." After speaking, he glanced at Lin Zhinan, "You are the same." ”
Lin Zhinan was silent.
"The grandson of my old comrade-in-arms, I have already investigated that boy, I am very satisfied, and Weihe will definitely like it. People are also coming, everyone has a meal together, and we will understand first. After he finished speaking, he took the cane handed back by the butler, turned and left.
Lin Zhinan stood there, the anger that had accumulated for countless days and nights, like a volcanic eruption, was uncontrollable.
In the eyes of the old man, Lin Zhinan is so small that he will only use the weakest way to vent his anger.
There is a small glass flower house in the back mountain.
This flower house is a gift from Lin Zhinan to Lin Weihe.
Looking at the roof, the wooden beams are connected to the glass, and a crystal lamp falls from the center of the spire, and the sun is warm, and the light is especially beautiful when it shines in.
A large long table made by himself, when he has nothing to do, Lin Weihe sits on the table, smelling the aroma.
It's been a long time since I've seen cute flowers and plants, and these little cuties are taken care of by Sister-in-law Xin.
Lin Weihe lifted a small pot of meat, poked it with his index finger, and the meat was very cute, "Xiaohong, you have gained weight." ”
She pointed to the succulents on the wooden shelves next to her, who were used to run houses from discarded old tree roots, and said, "Why are you still so small, don't you have enough to eat?" ”
A tall and thin boy stared at her in the corner for a long time, and there was no emotion on his face. He took a few steps forward, a few steps away from her:
"Hey."
The sudden voice startled Lin Weihe, she turned around suddenly, looked at this person who should be strange but not stranger, and was stunned for a few seconds:
"Liao Qin?!"
