Chapter 49: The Shutter Man Goes (Volume 1)

There are always many incomprehensible things in life, and often, all the "unexpected" will happen at the same time.

For Leng Yue, Yuanshan's silence made her have many questions in her heart, she wanted to see him the next day and talk about it seriously, and she also thought about a lot of things to say to him.

But for many days, there was no trace of the distant mountains.

This made Leng Yue vaguely feel that this distant mountain, which was still bothering her a few days ago and stirring up countless ripples in her heart, was probably no longer her "problem".

In other words, from now on, she can also be "freed" from Leng Yue.

But can she really be "liberated"? As the days passed, five, ten, twenty, thirty days, the distant mountains seemed to have evaporated from the world, and the news was lost.

At this time, Leng Yue was completely tormented by a feeling of dissatisfaction with herself.

She regretted why she ran away like that that day, why didn't she give Yuanshan more time to create more opportunities for the last love of her life.

While remorseful, she wanders in the scenic area every day like a shadow of a lost soul.

At different times, in different places, her figure floated everywhere...... Especially the path where they had held hands, she hoped to find traces of her departure, or a sudden miracle, where the distant mountains were waiting for her to appear.

She couldn't stop saying to herself, "Ten days ago...... Fifteen days ago...... He was there twenty days ago, and he was waiting for me there. I have a lot of opportunities to get his love. But I treated him as air and nourishment, and I didn't know how to appreciate that blessing, and I let time fly by, and I didn't grasp every minute, and now it's too late...... Missed the opportunity...... He's gone...... There is no way to get it back...... He's gone......"

After more than a month of these regrets and thoughts, her eyebrows, which were still full of hope, were completely shrouded in a layer of anxiety and sadness.

Her face no longer had the burning vigor she had had when she had searched for the distant mountains, and her soul had long since disappeared with him...... As the saying goes: When the blinds go, the heavens and the earth are reduced to zero.

*

It was a dry summer.

More than a month later, it was June and July, and it was the hottest time.

Recently, not a drop of rain had fallen, and a dry, burning smell filled the air, as if a match could be lit.

This kind of breath is uncomfortable and oppressive. What makes people feel even more oppressive is the atmosphere in Leng Yue's house.

For more than a month, she has gone out early and returned late, getting up early and going to bed late. In addition to wandering in the mountains, when I returned home, I locked myself in my study.

She slept little, ate little, and spoke little.

As for Li Min, after the last bathroom incident, he moved back home.

He knew that if he continued to be willful, he would really lose Leng Yue. Therefore, he quit smoking and drinking, and he was refreshed every day, playing the image of a good husband.

He is not pestering Leng Yue, he goes to and from work on time.

His behavior is remarkable, and his attitude is gentle and natural.

He drives a sports car, wears a famous brand, and in the eyes of everyone, he is a successful, mature, and attractive middle-aged man.

He observed the cold moon.

Seeing her lose her soul every day, he felt sorry in his heart, but it was also a little strange.

He didn't know that her tendons were wrong, and the mood could last so long. But he knew that the world of a literati was sour, pretended to be high, inexplicably happy and sad...... The kind of thing of laughing one minute and crying the next minute is also commonplace.

Therefore, in addition to watching coldly, he recalled Zhang's sister-in-law in his hometown. He instructed Sister-in-law Zhang to make food for Leng Yue in different ways to ensure her nutrition and health.

On this day, Leng Yue got up a little late, because she fell asleep in a daze when it was almost dawn. After falling asleep, she had many strange dreams.

These dreams are not continuous, but intermittent.

She seemed to have dreamed of the sea and the sunrise. In her dream, she seemed to feel that the sky was unusually gorgeous, and the sea was rolling waves.

When she woke up, she saw that the sun had entered the house through the window, and knew that it was not early.

She got up and showered, put on a simple, white flannel robe, embroidered with a bouquet of purple flowers, and went to the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, is breakfast ready?"

When she got up, she suddenly felt mysteriously full of joy, and she wanted to eat.

"Ma'am, are you up?"

"Hmm!, is there anything to eat?" she asked.

"Yes, wow, of course!"

Sister-in-law Zhang had a smile on her face, and hurriedly picked up the materials prepared in advance, she said:

"It's all ready, but I don't know when you'll get up, I'm afraid that if you do it in advance, it will be cold and not delicious. Wait a minute, ma'am!"

"Okay, do you have fresh milk?

"Yes!"

Sister-in-law Zhang took fresh milk for Leng Yue while quietly looking at Leng Yue.

She thought to herself: No wonder Mr. Li spoiled her like that and let her go. I'm the same age, but I look like a young lady. A simple white robe seems to be an old product from decades ago, but when worn on her, how can it be so beautiful, so foreign, and so noble?

His long hair was casually draped and wet...... I didn't rub any alabaster on my face, but it was still white and tender, like a freshly peeled egg for breakfast, not to mention a man, even as a woman, I was almost fascinated by her.

"Alas......"

She couldn't help but sigh softly, it's really the same life.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, is there a recent evening newspaper?"

Leng Yue asked Sister-in-law Zhang, she hoped that she could find news about the distant mountains in the newspaper.

"Yes!"

Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly ran to the hall and retrieved a few evening newspapers.

Leng Yue drank fresh milk while reading the evening newspaper.

At this time, Li Min had just come out of the bedroom, and he saw Sister-in-law Zhang running back to the restaurant with the evening newspaper, and he also followed.

Seeing Leng Yue drinking fresh milk and reading the newspaper, the whole person was not only in good spirits, but she was also as fresh as morning dewdrops.

A burst of warm happiness quickly poured into Li Min's heart.

He felt a perfect comfort invaded by him, a comfort of life and mind, of body and soul.

Thatβ€”it was the comfort that his beautiful wife brought him.

"Hey, good morning, Leng Yue!" he greeted with a smile.

Leng Yue glanced at him and continued to read her newspaper.

"You are a busy person, you still love to study so much, and you care about national affairs, you really set an example for me!" Li Min sat opposite Leng Yue with a smile.

"Aren't you going to work?" Leng Yue asked, looking at him.

Li Min glanced at the Swiss watch in his left hand, and his eyebrows were stretched.

"There are still 40 minutes before the restaurant opens. ”

As he answered, he took a spoon in his hand and placed it in an empty bottle on the table, which he held up like a microphone.

"Idle is idle, I will accompany you to chat for ten yuan, so as to save you boredom. He said without words, and pointed the mouth of the bottle at Leng Yue: "What good news is there in this newspaper, tell me about it, let me be happy and happy." ”

Leng Yue glanced at him again and didn't say anything.

Li Min stood up and walked around the dining table, he stood behind Leng Yue:

"Oh cold moon, it's time for the U.S. presidential election, isn't it? Barack Obama, did you get elected?" I wondered...... he said.

Leng Yue glared at him, thinking of yesterday's report about the impact of horoscopes on people's personalities, so she asked him unconsciously:

"I wonder what kind of seat you are?"

Li Min was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, and he replied with a smile: "Of course I am...... Made of meat!"

With a snort, Leng Yue laughed angrily at him.

"Made of meat, hob meat, right?"

Leng Yue put the newspaper on the dining table: "Since you pay so much attention to international news, you still look at it yourself!"

"No, no, I don't like to read newspapers, I like to listen to people. He put the newspaper in Leng Yue's hand: "You go on, keep reading!"

He left behind Leng Yue and sat down on the opposite side of the dining table, his legs folded casually, one hand on the back of the chair, with a free and casual expression.

Seeing that Leng Yue didn't move, he was lonely and unbearable, and pointed the mouth of the bottle at Leng Yue and said:

"Come! Interview: If there is no international news, what is the situation in China? After the 11 th CPC National Congress, the situation has been very big, right? Has the large-scale development of the western region been carried out? What have you reported?"

Leng Yue looked at the evening newspaper quietly, but still didn't talk.

Sister-in-law Zhang snickered while making breakfast, thinking to herself, these two are so funny, like cross talk, so funny!

"Hey, Leng Yue, what is there in the newspaper? Is it some messy thing about film and television stars? Can Gong Li and Zhang Yimou still be together?"

"Sister-in-law Zhang!"

Leng Yue smelled a smell of roasted paste: "What a smell!"

"Oh my God!"

Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly turned off the power and turned on the oven, and the food had already been baked by her.

"It's all you!"

Leng Yue glared at Li Min.

"Early morning nonsense, I'm gone. ”

She put on her hat, changed her clothes, and walked out of the house.

Before she walked out of the house, she heard Li Min shouting behind her: "I'll wait for you to come back-Leng Yue! Come back, let's talk about the direction of running the newspaper, I'll wait for you to come back, and we'll talk about it-"
