Chapter 22 Return to Weihai
In the end, Meng Yao and I hooked up on our shoulders and walked home slowly, a gust of evening breeze blew the ends of her hair, and a few of her hairs floated into the corners of my mouth, asking her The fragrance on her body was a little fascinating, as if her mouth was sweet.
Even I didn't know that I was walking on the street so intimately with Meng Yao, maybe I was drunk, and subconsciously wanted to find a woman to rely on, and find a safe haven with nowhere to put my heart, and no longer be tired.
Another cold wind blew, my drunkenness had gradually awakened, Meng Yao still had a faint flush on her face, she drank a few glasses at the bar, it seems that the amount of alcohol is really limited.
Sensing that I was looking at her, the flush on my face was visibly thickened, and she asked me, "Han, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine."
"Then you ......"
"Don't talk, let me be quiet for a while." I just want to smell her fragrance and feel her warmth now, which makes me feel a little safe and leaning on this cold night.
Meng Yao and I were silent all the way until we returned home, downstairs, and then we went home.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw my mother sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, I looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was already ten o'clock, so I asked suspiciously: "Mom, it's ten o'clock, you still don't go to bed?" ”
"Waiting for you." My mom said with the same face.
I smiled and said, "What are you waiting for?" ”
My mother patted the place next to me and said, "Son, come and sit." ”
I approached tentatively, fearing that my mother would stumble, and I thought of several reasons why my mother wanted to ask the teacher for sin, but I still couldn't figure out what my mother would say about me.
"Mom, what's the matter with you?"
My mother turned down the voice of the TV and said to me: "I discussed with your father, you and Meng Yao should not go to Weihai in the future, and the two of us will start a new business in Suzhou and work together." ”
I frowned and said, "Why do you suddenly think like this, do you think that I will have a bad time in Weihai?" ”
"I don't know what you're capable of? How old are your dad and me, and we still don't expect you to provide for us? My mom said and pointed to her face.
I saw a few more wrinkles on my mother's face, I couldn't help but feel a little more distressed, I knew that my mother paid attention to maintenance, what these wrinkles meant, so I moved to stay in Suzhou.
I tried to ask my mother to put this mind aside for a while, and said: "But you also know that my company is still in Weihai, and Meng Yao's company is also in Weihai, if we stay in Suzhou, what will the company do?" ”
"Lin Shuyi, you are still young, not old, I will definitely come back to provide for you in a few years, will you?"
My mom smiled, then her face became more serious, and she said, "If you can convince your dad, I won't stop you." ”
I heard this most of the time, although my dad has always been very afraid of my mother, but my dad chooses small things for my mom to manage, and my dad has a somewhat stubborn personality, and some big things decided are not necessarily for my mom to let him change.
After the silence, I said, "Mom, I don't know if you want me to stay with you because you feel that you are old, but as a son, I also have my own dreams and goals that I want to achieve, can I live the life I want to live?" ”
I saw that my mother's eyes suddenly darkened, and she was silent for a long time, and then sighed and said, "Wait until I talk to your father." ”
After saying that, I went back to the bedroom, and I stayed in the living room with a hollow in my mind, and took out a cigarette and smoked it alone.
At the end of the cigarette, I ran out of cigarettes, leaned on the sofa and watched the bloody Korean drama, a wave of sleepiness hit, and I finally fell asleep on the sofa.
......
Early in the morning, I heard my mother cleaning in the living room with a vacuum cleaner, I opened my hazy eyes, covered my eyes and squinted at her, and said, "Aren't you tired of doing housework so early?" ”
"What time is it? It's almost nine o'clock, and I'm still sleeping like a pig. "My mother didn't look at me, and after cleaning the dust, she wiped the glass with a rag.
I looked at the wall clock, it was really almost nine o'clock, maybe it was because I was drunk last night, I woke up dizzy in the morning, went back to my room and fell asleep again.
......
When I woke up again, there was a knock on my room door, and I asked as I walked, "Who?" ”
"Me." Meng Yao's voice sounded outside the door.
I looked puzzled, and when I opened the door, I saw Meng Yao looking at me outside the door in exquisite clothes, and said to me with a smile: "Han, it's time to eat." ”
"Where are you going?"
Meng Yao looked at me strangely and reminded, "Didn't you say it yesterday?" When my dad comes home today, we'll go out to dinner together. ”
I knocked on my head, and I was so drunk that I forgot about it.
Let Meng Yao wait for me outside the door first, quickly wash my hair, and change out of the clothes that exuded alcohol, and when I went downstairs with Meng Yao, I saw that my parents and Meng Yao's parents had been waiting downstairs for a long time.
"You've been waiting for a long time."
My dad cried and laughed and said, "Where did you learn the nonsense?" ”
Aunt Zijin and Uncle Xuan smiled and motioned for me to hurry up and get in the car.
I found a hotel outside, solved lunch, and before leaving, Uncle Xuan asked me: "The weather is not bad today, why don't you go out to play?" ”
"Uncle Xuan, I'm not young, I'm too old to play." I replied with a wry smile.
I know what Uncle Xuan means, he wants me to take Meng Yao out to have fun.
"When you are young, you say that you are not young, what are you making us old people? Almost in the coffin? Uncle Xuan said angrily.
"Dad, that's not what Shui Han meant." Meng Yao pouted.
"Okay, that's not what it means." Uncle Xuan suddenly lost his temper.
I reluctantly said, "Car keys." ”
Uncle Xuan immediately changed his face and threw the key in his hand, I took the key and glanced at the four of them, and thought to myself, "This is a partnership team." ”
On the way, Meng Yao asked expectantly: "Cold, there are a few new shopping malls in Suzhou, shall we go shopping?" ”
I nodded in response with an "yes".
followed Meng Yao into a Red Star Shopping Plaza, and was pulled by Meng Yao to try on clothes constantly, once again realizing that a woman's physical strength defeats a man in shopping.
Waiting for Meng Yao to change clothes outside the locker room, Li Ranran suddenly called.
I wondered whether to answer or not, but finally I looked at the locker room and walked outside to answer the phone.
I said flatly, "Why did you call me?" ”
"Are you free on Saturday?"
I was silent and said, "Not available." ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and his voice trembled slightly, "I'm getting married on Saturday, aren't you coming?" ”
"I'm in Suzhou, I can't come." I was close to breaking down, and before she could speak, I hung up the phone wishing her a happy wedding.
After brewing his emotions, he turned around and saw Meng Yao standing behind me, she was wearing the clothes she had just chosen, turned around and smiled at me and asked, "Is it good-looking?" ”
I squeezed out a smile, but stiffened, and responded, "Okay...... Pretty. ”
Meng Yao glanced at me, nodded, and went back to settle the bill.
Meng Yao and I had our own thoughts, and Meng Yao finally said, "Han, let's go back." ”
"Okay."
......
Until the evening, Meng Yao called me and asked me to come out.
I was already lying on the bed, shivering and getting dressed, and walked out single-handedly against the cold, Meng Yao was wearing thick clothes, and I said tremblingly: "This ...... Why do you come out on such a cold day? ”
Looking at my slightly thin clothes, he put the scarf around my neck and asked, "Is it warm?" ”
I nodded, the scarf still had her fragrance and body temperature, and I couldn't help wrapping the scarf tightly, but fortunately, Meng Yao didn't know if I was really cold or ......
Meng Yao proposed, "I want to go." ”
"Oh." Although I wondered about Meng Yao, who was not right in the afternoon, I still didn't refuse.
"Then I'll go with you."
Meng Yao responded, because of the cold, I hid behind Meng Yao and asked her "big zongzi" to be a wind chill for me, although it was shameful and degraded, but I think she should not be afraid of the cold.
"Han, do you believe in love?" Meng Yao said suddenly.
I looked at her suspiciously, wondering why she was saying this, and after thinking for a while, I said, "Believe it." ”
"And what is love?"
"Feelings, you asked me this when I came out?" I'm a little angry, this cold day made me freeze to death outside and say that I believe in love?
Meng Yao suddenly stopped by the river, looked at me, her eyes flashed, and said, "Han, I know you love her very much." ”
"If you love her so much, why let her go?"
I tried to calm myself, but with a hint of anger in my tone, I said, "You don't understand, don't ask." ”
Meng Yao continued to ask: "I know, she is getting married, don't you want to take a look?" ”
I finally couldn't restrain myself and said angrily, "Let me go and see a woman marry another man? ”
"What do you think?"
Meng Yao shed tears and choked up: "Ye Hua secretly told me that Li Ranran got married this Saturday, and I Meng Yao can't be so great, let the person I like still love another woman." ”
Meng Yao almost pleaded: "Han, let it go." ”
"I've let it go."
"No, you don't, if you don't love her anymore, a dead-hearted person will not be sad because of someone who has abandoned him, and I can see that Li Ranran still loves you."
I looked at Meng Yao in disbelief, Meng Yao approached me, cried and said, "Han, if you really can't forget her, go and have a look." ”
After saying that, Meng Yao cried and turned to leave, I stood alone by the river, a few tears dripping from the corners of my eyes.
The pendant on my chest emitted a faint fluorescence, the light reflected by the street lamp, I gently picked it up, and my mind went back to the past, bit by bit, constantly changing, until that day of separation and decisive parting.
I knew it was time for me to really make up my mind about this relationship, but fortunately I still had one last flight to Weihai, so I got home and got a few clothes and left Suzhou.
......
At four o'clock in the morning, I went back to Weihai again, it was much colder than Suzhou, I wrapped my clothes tightly, her wedding was still a day, I went back to my home and waited for the day after tomorrow.
