Chapter 27: The Road to Marriage
Shao Chengzhi has always been punctual, and when he was five minutes away from 2 o'clock, he arrived at the coffee shop. Ling Ran's text message came: Chengzhi, I'm sorry, I'm going to be late for a while, and I haven't finished it yet. Please wait for me for a while, I will definitely be worth your wait.
Shao Chengzhi couldn't help but be curious, what was Ling Ran doing, it was so worth waiting?
As a result, after waiting for nearly half an hour, Ling Ran finally arrived in a hurry, and as soon as she pushed open the door of the coffee shop, the entire coffee shop suddenly looked at the door.
Shao Chengzhi couldn't help but stand up, dumbfounded: Ling Ran's thick waist-length hair was permed into a big rolling wave, and it was fluffy and curly, draped down in the form of a waterfall, covering half of his body like a cloud, with a set of gold and diamond-inlaid jade jewelry on his neck and ears, a small diamond earring earring on the left and right earrings, and an oval three-circle diamond egg face hanging under a thin gold necklace on his neck, green and verdant, just hanging on the deep ditch. Ling Ran was wearing a black low-cut short-sleeved dress, with a V-shaped black ribbon inlaid at the neckline, exposing her chest in a large area, the sleeves were below the shoulder blades, just a short decorative section, the white satin-like shoulders were completely exposed, the skirt was knee-length, tightened at the waist, highlighting the sexy figure, below were slender and graceful calves, and she was stepping on a pair โกโกof stiletto shoes that were 7 cm high.
Shao Chengzhi stammered when he spoke: "You, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Ling Ran's face that had just come out of the beauty salon was gorgeous and exquisite, and she smiled charmingly at Shao Chengzhi, her eyes and jade reflected each other, making the man dizzy: "Green contact lenses." โ
Shao Chengzhi breathed a long sigh of relief, took out a napkin and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Scared me to death." โ
Ling Ran smiled proudly and slowly rotated 360 degrees in front of Shao Chengzhi: "Do you like it, although it doesn't look like the one on your desk." โ
"Well, yes, that's good. Shao Chengzhi searched the dry intestines, "The temperament is a little more elegant, not as enchanting as that one." โ
Ling Ran glanced at Shao Chengzhi: "Her clothes, can she walk on the road?"
"That's, that's, it's anime after all. Shao Chengzhi was not good at expressing surprise, so he had to nod his head twice.
If this is Ye Ling, he will definitely give a very exaggerated feedback: either praise or belittle, in short, it will definitely make Ling Ran addicted. Shao Chengzhi's performance was too bland, and Ling Ran was a little disappointed.
Shao Chengzhi immediately felt it, but the highest level of his appreciation, "very good", had already been used up, and other words, such as "make my heart shake, make me strong, I want it now", this kind of words, he didn't dare to think of it, as for 'I know your mind, I'm excited, I accept your love", this kind of words, he can't say it. Shao Chengzhi has been nurtured since he was a child: subtle, feelings must be buried in the bottom of his heart, and he cannot say it.
Shao Chengzhi didn't know what to do, and muttered, "You sit and drink coffee." Your arms are exposed, will it be cold?" Shao Chengzhi waved his hand to Ling Ran for coffee.
Ling Ran sat down and replied coldly, "It's okay." โ
Shao Chengzhi was anxious, thought for a while, and said, "Dressing up like this, it seems that there are still shortcomings." โ
Ling Ran was stunned: "What?"
Shao Chengzhi opened the maroon leather men's bag he was carrying, and took out a small gift box wrapped in golden colored paper and ribbons from inside: "For you." โ
Ling Ran glanced at Shao Chengzhi: This is what this kid said, what he wants to do this morning.
There is no woman in the world who doesn't like to open gifts, Ling Ran took it curiously, opened it and looked: Oh, a bottle of joy-u. The golden oil is housed in a noble and elegant crystal perfume bottle.
Ling Ran couldn't help laughing: "This is the most expensive perfume in the world, it is said that a bottle will squeeze 10,000 jasmine flowers and 28 dozen roses." The fragrance is profound, a drop on the clothes, and the aftertaste lingers a year later. "Actually, joy-you is suitable for mature women, and Ling Ran is a little younger with this rich perfume. But Ling Ran now knows a little bit that Shao Chengzhi's character is like to pursue the ultimate, if he doesn't buy, he will be a blockbuster, and if he doesn't buy it, he will buy the most expensive.
Shao Chengzhi smiled shyly: "There will still be a fragrance after a year, so magical?" Well, I don't understand, I told the sales lady that I want the most expensive and the best, and she took out a few bottles for me to choose." I thought the bottle was beautiful (Ling Ran, it turned out to be because of the bottle), so I bought it. โ
Ling Ran opened the cap of the bottle and wiped a little bit on the carotid artery behind the ear and the artery of the two wrists, and suddenly the fragrance of flowers within a radius of one meter was surging, and the strong smell of roses and moonlight in the front taste even overshadowed the coffee.
Shao Chengzhi was surprised and proud: "Do you like it?"
"Well, yes, that's good. Ling Ran sarcastically mocked Shao Chengzhi, but immediately smiled sweetly at him and patted him on the back: "I like it so much, I've always wanted to buy it and I'm reluctant to buy it." I'll use it every day from now on (then you'll have to keep buying it for me). โ
Shao Chengzhi smiled, something flashing in the depths of his eyes. Ling Ran didn't dare to look more, and lowered her head to drink coffee.
The two were silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly spoke together.
Ling Ran: "I'm going to show you something." โ
Shao Chengzhi: "I have one more thing to tell you. โ
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand what the other party was saying, so they said in unison: "You speak first." โ
The two laughed together and said repeatedly, "You say first, you say first." Well, I'll say it first, I'll say it first. โ
Finally, Shao Chengzhi said: dyfirst. โ
Ling Ran smiled: "I'm going to show you something." It's not a thing, it's my house. I've already brought my bags in the morning - just my clothes. From today onwards, I live here. โ
"Oh, look at the house, okay. Let's go. Shao Chengzhi said, "In the morning, Li Zhao called me. There are guests from my hometown coming to Beijing."
Wen Shuqin's second brother flew over no matter how Li Zhao objected, and he didn't fly over alone, the two people he led flew over with him. These three people flew all the way to give Li Zhao two bottles of wine and two cigarettes. It turned out that the leader of his second brother was no longer the director of the county taxation bureau, and had been promoted to the county government to be the director in charge of finance, deputy county level. Li Zhao is just a deputy director level in Beijing, the level is at the deputy county level, and the deputy department level is the same size, but how many things does the director have to take care of in a county, so he deliberately went to Beijing like this to give you a little secretary who is not much older than his son to send cigarettes and alcohol, hey Li Zhao has no choice but to receive it ceremoniously. This reception fee, theoretically it should be Wen Shuqin's second brother, but the breakthrough in that poor place, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for him to reimburse, her second brother pays for it himself, is it good to help, just his 2,000 yuan a month's salary, and the whole family has to eat, drink and Lazar. Li Zhao had no choice but to pull Shao Chengzhi up, besides, knowing one more director of the county would have one more way back, anyway, it would not hurt for Shao Chengzhi to invite this meal.
Shao Chengzhi explained to Ling Ran: "I have to pay for him." Come with me. He was in the city center and we had to leave early to avoid traffic jams. โ
Ling Ran nodded. The importance and influence of Li Zhao to Shao Chengzhi is self-evident, Shao Chengzhi took himself to see Li Zhao, for Shao Chengzhi, I am afraid that it is more important than meeting his parents.
The two hurriedly finished paying the bill, and Ling Ran led Shao Chengzhi out of the door. In fact, the coffee shop is opposite the community where Ling Ran lives, and it takes less than five minutes to walk downstairs to Ling Ran's house.
Ling Ran's house is on the 10th floor, which was bought by Ling Ran when she was still in college, and she was still in love with special enrollment at that time. Ling Ran's parents didn't know if their daughter would marry this handsome man in the end, considering that the special enrollment was not from Beijing, so they would buy a set for their daughter to prepare. Because it is a wedding room, the area can be bought, there are 115 square meters, but it was bought early, the structure is a bit outdated, the kitchen is small, the living room and dining room are not separated, and there is only one balcony.
Ling Ran took Shao Chengzhi to look at the rooms one by one: "I lived here before I went abroad, and I renovated it at that time, and it was relatively simple. After I left, my parents rented out the house, and naturally it was a mess. So as soon as I decided to go back to China, my parents took back the house and renovated it all. When Ling Ran's parents thought of their daughter being 28 years old, her boyfriend had made three people before and after, and none of them came to talk about marriage, they were annoyed in their hearts, and they wished that they could pack her out by sticking a house upside down, so this time the house was decorated quite well, although the pattern could not be changed.
Ling Ran showed Shao Chengzhi the master bedroom and the second bedroom: "In the future, I will sleep in the master bedroom, you will sleep in the second bedroom, one bathroom per person, and you are not allowed to visit the door at night." Violators sweep the floor out of the house, whether it is in the middle of the night or in the early hours of the morning. โ
Shao Chengzhi laughed: "How dare I." โ
Ling Ran looked at Shao Chengzhi: This kid really doesn't look daring, so what should I do? How can I seduce him? After taking a bath, he walked around the living room wrapped in a bath towel, and then, accidentally, the bath towel fell to the ground
The current function of the third room is a study, the room is not small, there are more than ten square meters, but only a set of computer desks and chairs, a bookshelf. Ling Ran explained: "If there are children in this room, it can be converted into a baby room, so there is no furniture now. Both of us have to use the study, and there are not enough computer desks, so I have to buy another set. โ
"No, two people working in the same room will affect each other. Shao Chengzhi said, "I'll use the dining table." โ
The dining table is a six-seater solid wood table and chairs, which is more spacious, and Shao Chengzhi feels that it is more convenient to use.
Ling Ran just wanted to object, but Shao Chengzhi was already thinking about it and saying, "But we have to buy another filing cabinet, the filing of documents is too important, and it is very inconvenient for me to be in the rental house now." In addition, we have to buy two good printers, one laser for file printing, and one for inkjet, color printing, and inkjet have to buy a hybrid type, which must have fax scanning and copying functions. This makes it much easier to work overtime. Do you have broadband?"
"It should be installed. โ
Shao Chengzhi looked at it, there was no router: "Bring the R I used tomorrow." The notebook is also placed here for you, and you will no longer have to carry it around. โ
Shao Chengzhi began to think about what filing cabinets and printers to buy, and where to put them appropriately, so that both of them could use them without affecting each other. Shao Chengzhi compared to the house, and finally decided to buy another set of combined computer desks, with filing cabinets, and put them in the study for Ling Ran. Move this small computer desk in the study to the living room, use it yourself, and put the laser printer in the study, because Ling Ran has a lot of documents to print, and the inkjet one is in the living room, because Shao Chengzhi's messy functions are frequently used.
"You don't have to worry about these things, I'll order tomorrow and let them deliver them to your door. Shao Chengzhi said, he didn't notice at all, this is Ling Ran's house, and the two have only known each other for the third day.
Ling Ran smiled, Shao Chengzhi was a little stunned, but Ling Ran was not disgusted at all, but a little moved. She saw that Shao Chengzhi was really a man with solid eyes, because he knew that the green card would come down at any time, and subconsciously he was already arranging the life of the two after marriage, if he didn't sincerely plan to marry her, with Shao Chengzhi's character of not walking by the river because he was afraid of wet shoes, he wouldn't even come up to this building.
There was a voice in Ling Ran's heart saying: I'm going to get married, soon, soon, but, but have I really decided to marry him.
Ling Ran turned her head and looked out the window, there was a flat-roofed building complex not far away, which was a gymnasium with a swimming pool, a ball club, and a gym
Ye Ling didn't come to Ling Ran's house many times, basically Ling Ran went to him, but every time he came, he would stay for a few days, giving Ling Ran enough of the warmth and sweetness of the two of them living at home. So after Ling Ran returned to China, she hadn't come to this house yet, for fear that she wouldn't be able to bear the shock. But this morning, when she walked into the house, Ling Ran found that she was not as painful as she thought, on the contrary, she didn't seem to feel anything at all, could it be because the house had been redecorated and erased all traces of the past
Ling Ran suddenly realized that in the bottom of her heart, the forgetting procedure had begun unconsciously, the person who had loved her so much, the person who once thought she wanted to forget and could not forget, in the hourglass of time, had actually faded away and disappeared like a cloud, in the near future, she and Shao Chengzhi would be under the same roof, candlelight dinner together, tender together, walking hand in hand in the community together, swimming in the swimming pool together, and playing tennis together. All the things that have been done with Ye Ling will be redone with Shao Chengzhi, and they will feel happy and happy in the same way. At that time, Ye Ling, and all kinds of past events, will you think about it again? Even if it happens by chance, it will be a light smile.
Ling Ran suddenly felt a burst of sadness: Ye Ling, are you abandoned by me like this? I left my home and went to the country, floating to the end of the world, I just don't want the disappointment of life to wear down my love for you, I just want to freeze my love for you into eternity, but this world doesn't care about the eternity of love, and I can actually accept such an impermanence now
Shao Chengzhi said that replacing files is more effective than deleting them. This bastard bastard-
Hayao Miyazaki said: No matter how deeply you have been hurt, there will always be someone who will show up and ask you to forgive all the difficulties that life has done to you before
