Li Yue'er

In City C in March, the ice and snow melted, and spring was in full swing. Although the wind in early spring is still sporadically chilly, the spring flowers at the head of the city are full of sprouts, and they can't help but poke out the dense and rising little goose yellow, as if the sky is full of bright stars falling into the world, bright and shining mottled warm light in the daytime, and the gold is very beautiful.

In March, Kairan ushered in a happy event. When Wang Hao announced at the morning meeting that Mr. Guo was about to hold a wedding on the 18th of this month, everyone was surprised. Although it is normal for Mr. Guo to get married at this time, he has always been a workaholic, and in the past 20 years, his career has been almost completely occupied by men's careers and ambitions, and he has rarely heard about men and women, and even Chen Ran once laughed that he married Kai Ran as his wife. But it is such a golden bachelor who is difficult for all ladies and celebrities to get into the eyes of the law, but the news that he is about to get married suddenly came out is indeed surprising, especially after hearing that the other party is still a college student who has not yet graduated, it is even more surprising.

Chen Ran couldn't help but sigh when he told me about this, recalling that he and Mr. Guo's ten-year friendship was like wine, and laughed and said that the other party was really a non-sounding Northwest man, just like his character, I thought that he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect to walk directly into the marriage hall without making a sound, and he didn't even want to wait for the other party's graduation, and took advantage of Valentine's Day to pull the little girl to get the certificate. At the end, Chen Ran sighed, as if he was telling me, and seemed to be talking to himself, "I really envy his ......", as for why he envied him and what he envied him, Chen Ran shook his head, and finally did not say it.

As far as I am concerned, although I have never met Mr. Guo's little fiancée, she must be a petite and lovely woman. In this world, there are many kinds of misfortunes, but the appearance of happiness is actually the same, in the final analysis, it is just freedom and love. And this girl in the ivory tower who has not yet been born in society is lucky to have these two things before she has traveled through the complexities and dangers of the world. Even though there is still a long way to go, at least having such a precious experience in life is something that many people envy. Of course, among the people who envy me is me.

The encounter with Chen Ran made me not free; And to Chen Ran's affection, but even love can't be spoken. Such helplessness, in the face of such a grand and blessed wedding, pales in comparison, humble as dust.

Therefore, when Wang Hao arranged for me to be in charge of the guest pick-up and drop-off of Mr. Guo's wedding, I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Fragile as I am, I really don't want to rush to the wedding scene, and let the dazzling and romantic happiness prick my already sensitive nerves over and over again.

The wedding date is approaching, and all preparations are in order. The guests who came to attend the wedding also stayed at the hotel one after another. After lunch, Wang Hao called me to the office, took a list and looked at it carefully, and said to me, "Xiao Li, Mr. Chen's lover will fly to City C at five o'clock in the afternoon today, you go to pick it up, she won't stay in the hotel, and send it directly to Mr. Chen's apartment." After speaking, he handed me the list in his hand, "This is the flight time and phone number of the guests who have arrived in the last two days, you keep a copy, arrange it early, don't let the guests wait." ”

Promised to take it, I looked at the name of "Yao Xiaojuan" suddenly printed on the first line of the guest list, as if I went back to the time when I first met in D County a few months ago, the fair girl in red clothes with long wavy hair was still a heavy shadow in my memory, and my heart couldn't help but be gloomy. Knowing that such a situation was unavoidable, I had to arrange the relevant pick-up matters step by step.

Thinking that the plane would arrive at five o'clock, the time was neither early nor late, and the way back was the rush hour, in order to avoid the traffic jam and delay dinner, I specially prepared some small snacks in case of emergency. At that time, my mind at the moment was quite delicate, because of those feelings for Chen Ran, I felt embarrassed to meet his lover, or was it a faint weakness, and even some inexplicable flattery psychology, this feeling was very complicated, and sometimes I couldn't help but ask myself, did I subconsciously want to get some recognition from her, so as to avoid the guilt of my disgraceful mind? After thinking about it, I felt that I was very ridiculous, if I really had something with Chen Ran, how could his wife let it go easily, I was just a little self-consolation by deceiving myself like this.

With a light sigh, I untied my hair and put it back together, and when I was upset, I always liked to repeat this action, and after a few times, I felt that my mood was not as dull as it was just now. Seeing that it was not too early, I put the pick-up list in my bag, called the driver, and walked out of the company.

At this time, City C was not congested, and we drove all the way, and it was rare to get unimpeded. On a spring afternoon, the sky overhead is as blue as a quiet lake, bottomless. I opened the car window and let the breeze ruffle my long hair, brushing the surface of my trench coat with a rustling sound, gradually soothing my inner anxiety and trouble. What should come will come after all, and what should be seen must be seen, do your part, Li Yue'er, you and Chen Ran, haven't you come to the point where it is difficult to recover? Even in terms of the current brother-sister relationship, you have never acted out of the ordinary, so why can't you face his family calmly? What you are afraid of, what you are worried about, is just your own mental barrier, break these, you can get out, otherwise you will be trapped in a dead end, and you will only force yourself into a corner.

He closed his eyes and shook his head, as if trying to shake off these annoying feelings. Look at the delicate pastries around you, the fluffy cakes are served with delicate cream, with a golden brown color and layers of fruit embedded in them, which makes people appetize. In any case, as an employee of Kairan, it is our duty to serve the guests and do our best to satisfy them, not to mention that this guest is one of the proprietress of Kairan.

Thinking like this, my heart calms down a lot. We arrived at the airport on time and picked up Chen Ran's wife smoothly. When she saw me, she seemed to be slightly stunned, but she didn't say much, I kept a decent smile and greeted her cordially, "Sister Xiaojuan, hello, I'm Li Yue'er from the Kairan Administration Department, welcome to your arrival!" ”

She looked at me carefully, thoughtfully, "Li Yue'er", and immediately said, "Oh, we met last time in County D, right?" ”

"Ah, yes, Sister Xiaojuan" I didn't expect her to remember me, "Last time you and Mr. Chen went to D County to play, we met, you were in too much of a hurry last time, and you couldn't give us a chance to treat you to a light meal" I said politely.

She smiled slightly, and didn't answer me directly, "Well, I was a little busy last time. Li Yue'er, is it? Are you in the administration department? ”

I don't know if it's my delusion, there seems to be some special attention to me in her question, she paused slightly, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, Sister Xiaojuan, I've been in the administration department"

"Oh, okay, let's go." After listening to my answer, she was noncommittal, nodded and walked straight forward. I hurriedly followed and took her luggage, while calling the driver to get ready to go.

Seeing that I was diligent in helping, she didn't shirk too much, only smiled slightly as a thanks. Since the first meeting, she has always given me a feeling of coldness, perhaps because of the proprietress of the proprietress that she unconsciously reveals the distance between her gestures. I pursed my lips slightly, knowing that society was like this, but I didn't really care, and only took two quick steps to follow.

After getting in the car, she found the pastries in the back seat at a glance, looked up at me, and I hurriedly explained, "Sister Xiaojuan, it's more than five o'clock now, and I don't know if there is a meal arranged on the plane, this is the rush hour after work, and the way back may be more congested, and the time will take a little more, if you are hungry, you can eat something first to cushion your stomach." ”

"Oh," she said, then looked back at me, "is this what you prepared?" ”

I was stunned by her question, and said a little dazed, "Well, yes, Sister Xiaojuan, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Hehe, that's not true," she chuckled softly, "Your mind is clever, the people in the administration department really know how to do things, no wonder Chen Ran praises you." ”

My face suddenly turned red, and her words seemed to compare me with Wang Hao and Zhang Xiaoqi, who are proficient in personnel, but I know that I am not that kind of person, although I prepared this pastry with a slight flattery, but she was broken by her words, and I couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed. Alas, when will I be able to do things properly like Wang Hao and Zhang Xiaoqi without showing any traces, I really sigh to myself.

But now I have to pretend to excuse myself, "No, no, Sister Xiaojuan, you won the prize, I just thought that you might be hungry so I prepared something to eat, and I don't know if it suits your taste." ”

"It's good to have this heart" She raised her eyes to look at me, with a slight indescribable meaning in her anticipation, as if she wanted to look straight into my heart, and then said unhurriedly, "But I've been losing weight recently, and I don't dare to touch these sweets, especially at night." He handed me the pastry and smiled, "But thank you." ”

"Ah, oh" I didn't know if what she said was true or just an excuse, I took it from her hand awkwardly, and said a little sneeringly, "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't think it through, Sister Xiaojuan" looked at her secretly, and I continued, "Sister Xiaojuan is in such a good shape, and she still has to lose weight?" ”

"Heh," she didn't expect me to add this, she put down her phone, glanced at me, and seemed to smile, "I didn't expect you to be so good at talking!" Xiao Li, right? How old is it? How long has it been since you arrived at Kairan? ”

"Well, Sister Xiaojuan, I'm 24 years old, and it's been almost two years since I arrived in Kairan."

"24, yes, of the horse? You Mr. Chen are also horses, what a coincidence! She seemed stunned, and looked at me quietly, but that glance, with a little sharp edge, made me unconscious, "Yes, you will come to Kairan after graduating from school, right?" I heard Chen Ran say that your performance in the administration department is quite outstanding, and you can reach this level in two years, which is not easy."

Her words seemed to be compliments in every word, but they were a little distracting to my ears, and I was flustered for no reason, but when I thought about it, I couldn't find anything. I gritted my teeth, uneasily picked up a strand of broken hair, and said thoughtfully, "Sister Xiaojuan has won the prize!" It was Mr. Chen, Mr. Guo and Manager Wang who gave me the opportunity to learn a lot, and I would like to thank them for their careful cultivation of me! ”

"Did Xiao Li talk about friends?" She suddenly asked this sentence, and I couldn't help but be stunned. The voice came from behind, and it had a faint and strange smell, as if a terrible hand was slowly and imperceptibly coming towards me. Her question was stiff and abrupt, and I was a little overwhelmed for a moment, so I had to reply, "No." ”

I turned around and saw her sitting in the back seat as usual, looking down at her phone, her face hidden in her long wavy hair indistinct. At this time, she just raised her head, looked at each other, there was no expression on her face, and after a few seconds, she suddenly smiled, that smile, as if the sponge that had been dried up desperately squeezed out the last drop of water, and finally lost her distortion, "Xiao Li is so good, he hasn't talked about friends yet?" It seems that you have a very high vision, I guess you can't look down on ordinary people."

I am very uncomfortable, and I really don't like to discuss such a private topic with someone I don't know well, especially if the other party is Chen Ran's wife. But her words today are always weird, is it deliberate? The aggressiveness in that tone really made me a little overwhelmed, but why me? I have only met her twice, and the total number of words is less than ten sentences, I think I am already cautious and polite, and I have not offended her, is it because of Chen Ran? But I have tried my best to hide my affection for Chen Ran, just for fear of encountering such embarrassment and confusion today. I wanted to open the window, but I didn't care about whether the person behind me was uncomfortable, and I blurted out in a blank way, "No, Sister Xiaojuan, I just think I'm still young now, I should focus on work, and I will think about personal problems in a few years."

"Oh? Is it? Guo Kai and Chen Ran must be happy to hear you say this," she laughed out loud, "But I can't complain about you, Kai Ran, I know very well, I am tired and tired all day, like you girls, how can you have time to fall in love, and there are few people outside!" ”

I didn't know how to answer when she said this, so I had to smile and respond. She didn't say anything more, and they didn't say anything to each other. The atmosphere was a little dreary for a while. I looked in the rearview mirror, and she continued to swipe her phone indifferently, but I felt that the return journey was so long that I felt the urge to run away.

I was secretly relieved in my heart to get her to her destination, and I picked up my spirits to take her luggage and send her upstairs.

This is the first time I have entered the community where Chen Ran lives, and although I usually face each other across the river, I can already get a glimpse of its magnificent regulations. At this moment, I realized that it really lived up to its name. As far as the eye can see, the vegetation is luxuriant, the shadows of the trees are verdant, and all kinds of flowers are blooming all over under the artificial carving, posing in a variety of pretty shapes, which makes people feel pitiful. In the spring, the garden is full of beauty inside the wall, and the gurgling water outside the wall is like walking into a picturesque beautiful scroll, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

But I didn't care about admiring and admiring her at the moment, and followed her step by step. It was the first time to touch every grass and tree in Chen Ran's life so closely, or even step on his usual footprints, but it was with his wife, which really made people feel ironic and helpless. The spacious elevator went up smoothly, and the bright marble floor could reflect the human figure, and I stood next to Chen Ran's wife, not a little angry.

Stopping at the door of Chen Ran's apartment, she turned her head, "Thank you today, I'll take the things in myself." Saying that, he took the luggage in my hand, but he was not in a hurry to open the door, he seemed to think about it, and then opened his backpack, took out a piece of something that looked like a wooden card from it and handed it to me, "Xiao Li, I think you are a good person, and you are quite in love, this is a peach blossom card that has been opened, it will help your luck, and I will give it to you as a gift." As he spoke, he took my hand and put it in.

"Ah, no, no" I didn't expect her to give me something suddenly, especially such a thing, it was weird in the end, I hurriedly excused myself, "Sister Xiaojuan, you are too polite, these are all things I should do, not enough to worry about, how can I ask for such a valuable gift." Thank you, no! ”

"If you take it, you will take it" She covered my hand, as if she had changed someone, and said with a smile, as if she was extremely sincere, "I don't like to be polite to people, people who meet me for the first time think I'm cold, but as long as it's someone I feel like I'm in love, I'm sincere!" Although you are young, you can see that people are very sensible, to put it mildly, I am so much older than you, and I see you as a sister in my heart. This peach blossom card is very helpful to your career, feelings, and fortune in all aspects, I still deliberately asked for it in the Lingshui Temple in H City, very effective, I don't give it to ordinary people! As he spoke, he patted my hand and urged with a smile, "Take it, take it, if you don't hold it, you won't give me face." ”

For some reason, the more enthusiastic she was, the more I resisted in my heart. I just feel that everything today is so unnatural and unsettling. But her words have already come to this point, and if she refuses to excuse herself, it seems that I don't know how to lift, so I have to smile reluctantly, "Then I might as well be respectful, thank you, Sister Xiaojuan." ”

"Hey, that's right, remember to go home and hang on the head of the bed to have an effect!" Seeing that I accepted it, she finally smiled, and seemed to be slightly relieved, "Okay, you go back quickly, it's so late." ”

promised to say goodbye to her and walked out of Chen Ran's apartment. Looking back at the towering high-rise building behind him, it looks like a craggy stone beast under the cover of twilight, solemn and tranquil and inviolable. I picked up the peach blossom card in my hand, the brown wooden card in the center is prominently engraved with the Tai Chi Bagua pattern, surrounded by a circle of exquisite hollow entwined peach blossoms, around a sword-like pattern looming, a small gourd tied to the bottom is cute, the red tassel hangs down softly, but adds a bit of antique taste. Although I don't believe in these lucky feng shui sayings, but this peach blossom brand is exquisitely elegant, very ingenious, and it is not impossible to be a pendant, smile slightly, put it in the bag, and don't think about it anymore.
