Chapter 67: Waiting for Idle Change But Old People's Hearts
Although the time in Nanshui is unforgettable, Bai Shuo after returning to Shudu does not have much aftertaste of the days when he got along with Man Lin, because there is a woman who is more worthy of Bai Shuo's attention at this time. On the day Bai Shuo returned to Shudu, he heard the news of Li Zhen's divorce from the mouth of the pillar. The time when Li Zhen was divorced happened to be when Bai Shuo went to the imperial capital, Hong Kong Island, and Nanshui, so Bai Shuo didn't know what happened to Li Zhen these days. And the pillar's factory is very close to Li Zhen's company, and it is in the same area, and Pingsu Zhuzi will also have some communication with Li Zhen, so it was the pillar who got the news first and provided Li Zhen with some help as much as possible. When he heard the news, Bai Shuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Those who should come will still come! Once again, he remembered the bits and pieces of the ten years he spent with Li Zhen in his memory, but it seemed that those ten years did not really exist, at least for Li Zhen. The difference is that the current Bai Shuo obviously no longer needs Li Zhen's care, on the contrary, he has the ability to make Li Zhen live a happier life.
Bai Shuo immediately called Li Zhen, and Li Zhen couldn't hear any emotions on the phone, but within two minutes, Li Zhen hung up Bai Shuo's phone on the grounds that he was working. Later, Bai Shuo called Li Zhen again, this time it was time to get off work, but Li Zhen still only talked to Bai Shuo for two or three minutes before saying that he was busy with other things, and hung up the phone again. The next day, Bai Shuo was ready to ask Li Zhen to come out to sit and chat, this time Li Zhen was not in a hurry to hang up the phone, but talked to Bai Shuo on the phone for a long time, but Li Zhen politely refused Bai Shuo's idea of meeting each other in time. Li Zhen said that she understood what Bai Shuo meant, and repeatedly assured Bai Shuo that her current condition was very good, and there was nothing to comfort, so that Bai Shuo should not care too much about her current life.
However, Bai Shuo is not so easy to be fooled by Li Zhen, he knows that Li Zhen now lives in a temporarily rented cottage, and when he divorced, Li Zhen stubbornly did not fight for anything with his ex-husband, and left the house by himself, but he didn't want to go back to his parents' house to live, so he rented such a place not far from the company. It was the weekend, and Bai Shuo estimated that Li Zhen should be at home, and he didn't contact him in advance, so he came here directly according to the address provided by the pillar. Li Zhen was wearing a loose dress at home, and the moment she saw Bai Shuo, her mood obviously fluctuated slightly, but she didn't say anything, she adjusted her dress slightly, smiled at Bai Shuo, and quietly opened the door, and then returned to the house. Bai Shuo approached the house and glanced around, it was an old house in the seventies and eighties, with a small area, only one bedroom and one living room. The interior of the house is poorly decorated and there is not much furniture, but it is very clean and tidy by Li Zhen. The broken flower cloth on the old dining table, the vase full of flowers on the coffee table, the big doll on the sofa, and the faint fragrance in the air all make the whole room full of women's breath.
Li Zhen packed up the odds and ends in the house, and did not stop because of Bai Shuo's arrival. Bai Shuo also walked to the sofa and sat down casually, watching Li Zhen's every move, without speaking, it seemed that everyone had nothing to say. Indeed, Bai Shuo has already heard everything, after Li Zhen and her ex-husband got married, their original life was relatively harmonious, his ex-husband worked as an executive in a good unit, and the living conditions at home were relatively superior, and everything seemed to be very good. But after marriage, the two have not been able to have a child, and it was finally found out that it was Li Zhen's body, although they made a lot of efforts, but the two have not been able to have their own children. Slowly, Li Zhen began to have a very unharmonious relationship with her ex-husband and in-laws. The two often quarrel over some trivial matters, and her ex-husband is often not at home for work reasons, leaving Li Zhen alone in the empty room. I heard that not long ago, because Li Zhen used his family's funds to lend Bai Shuo for emergency, the two had a big quarrel again, and the relationship took a sharp turn for the worse. Until a few weeks ago, Li Zhen finally found evidence of her ex-husband's cheating, and Li Zhen, who was desperate, did not try to redeem it, and his ex-husband did not have any justification in the face of those evidences, and seemed to be determined to divorce. I finally went through the formalities a week ago, and it was a peaceful breakup.
Bai Shuo still felt a little guilty about the conflict with his ex-husband because Li Zhen had helped him, but he also knew that the key to the conflict between the two was not here, and this little episode was just a little catalyst at best. The two of them developed like this, and even if they didn't have this, they would quarrel over other things.
At this time, Li Zhen also seemed to know that Bai Shuo already knew everything, and he didn't want to say anything more to Bai Shuo. Bai Shuo also understood Li Zhen from Li Zhen's eyes, and knew that he knew everything.
Bai Shuo, who didn't know what to do for a while, saw a crumpled piece of writing paper under the coffee table, picked it up and was about to help Li Zhen throw it into the trash, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot of words written on the paper, so he opened the paper at will, but saw that it was Li Zhen's handwriting, which was written in Nalan Xingde's "Magnolia Flower Order":
If life is only as it first seems
What's the autumn wind sad painting fan
Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts
......
When he wrote the sentence "Waiting for the idle to change, but the old people's hearts", he did not continue to finish the poem, but repeated this sentence several times. Before Bai Shuo could completely unfold the paper ball, Li Zhen rushed over, snatched the paper ball, and then rubbed it vigorously and threw it into the trash. "Write scrapped things, there's nothing to look at. ”
"Is there anything you need help with?" Bai Shuo asked casually, breaking the embarrassment.
Li Zhen smiled: "I don't need help, I just moved over, and there is still a little mess in the house, so I'll clean it up myself." ”
"It seems a little smaller here, can I change you somewhere?"
"Why do I live alone in such a big place? It's close to the company, and it's very convenient. You don't have to worry about it. Li Zhen said, pouring a glass of boiled water for Bai Shuo, "There is nothing to prepare at home, only this is the only one for the time being." ”
Bai Shuo took the water cup, took a sip of it, put it on the coffee table, and continued to ask, "What are your plans for the future?"
"What can you plan, wasn't it like this before, but it was also such a person who ran a home. It's no different now. Li Zhen said lightly, without a trace of emotion, and seemed to really don't care about this sudden change.
The two chatted without saying a word for a while, Li Zhen casually looked at the time, and said to Bai Shuo with a smile: "Good brother, it's so late, you see that I don't have any preparations, so I won't leave you for dinner." ”
Bai Shuo noticed that it was almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon. "Well, what about you? Don't you eat?"
"I'm just going to have a casual meal, and I usually don't eat much at night. Li Zhen still said with a smile.
This is obviously an eviction order, although Bai Shuo knows that Li Zhen doesn't want to be so open-minded, but he doesn't know how to comfort others, he thinks that maybe what Li Zhen needs most at the moment is quiet, since he has seen Li Zhen and knows her current state, even if Bai Shuo's goal is achieved, he got up and prepared to leave. When Li Zhen sent Bai Shuo to the door, Bai Shuo turned around and looked at Li Zhen who was close at hand, and Li Zhen also raised his head and looked at Bai Shuo suspiciously.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered. Bai Shuo finally said another sentence before leaving the door.
After Li Zhen heard this, he showed a sweet smile to Bai Shuo, smiling and smiling, a flash of crystal suddenly flashed in his eyes, his originally smiling face became stiff in an instant, and his lips trembled slightly with his breath. Finally, when the first tears fell from his eyes, Li Zhen pounced on Bai Shuo with a "wow" and cried. Bai Shuo hugged Li Zhen tightly, and Li Zhen's body shook more and more. "Why, why did you do this to me, what did I do wrong?Why ......!" Li Zhen's suppressed emotions finally broke out at this moment, and he cried for a while before he let go of Bai Shuo, straightened his somewhat messy hair, seemed to be a little embarrassed to look at Bai Shuo again, lowered his head slightly and said "Thank you......"
"Fool, what else do we both say thank you. Bai Shuo said as he gently stroked Li Zhen and walked over to the sofa, and when Li Zhen was settled on the sofa, Bai Shuo asked, "Are you hungry?" I'll make you something to eat. Li Zhen Yaoyao nodded, pulled the corner of Bai Shuo's clothes and said, "No need, I'm not hungry, can you sit with me for a while?"
Bai Shuo nodded, sat sideways on Li Zhen's left, and then hugged Li Zhen's shoulder with one hand and pulled her over to lean on his body. Li Zhen's body was unusually soft, and he leaned over diagonally without the slightest resistance. After a while, Bai Shuo found that Li Zhen was actually asleep, obviously very sleepy. Bai Shuo helped Li Zhen, carefully adjusted his sitting posture, put Li Zhen's body as flat as possible, and pillowed his head on his lap. At this time, Bai Shuo carefully observed Li Zhen at close range, her brows were slightly tightened, her face looked very haggard, and the skin at the corners of her eyes was already slightly red, which was obviously caused by being often soaked with tears recently. This made Bai Shuo suddenly feel distressed, and in the depths of his memory, his admiration for Li Zhen was suddenly filled with his heart, but those experiences, only he knew, Li Zhen in his arms did not have the same experience and the same emotions, everything was just Bai Shuo's wishful thinking. And the current situation of Li Zhen does not seem to be the best time to start a new relationship. Thinking of this, Bai Shuo could only suppress the stupidity in his heart.
Li Zhen fell asleep for three hours before waking up. sat up, looked out the window at night, and looked at Bai Shuo very ashamedly, "I actually fell asleep, how long have I been asleep?"
"It's 9 o'clock, you must not have slept much during this time, right?" Bai Shuo looked at Li Zhen lovingly and said.
"Ah, I actually slept for three hours?" Li Zhen glanced at Bai Shuo's pants that were a little wrinkled by her embarrassedly, "Didn't it hurt you?"
Bai Shuo laughed, and actually reached out and touched Li Zhen's head, "Fool, how heavy can your little head be." ”
Li Zhen's head and neck shrank slightly, and Ren Baixuan, who was motionless, touched his head, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.
"I'm hungry, I'm going to cook two bowls of noodles. Bai Shuo got up and walked to the kitchen. Li Zhen didn't object, just sat on the sofa and quietly looked at Bai Shuo's busy figure.
After a while, two bowls of noodles were served to Bai Shuo. Li Zhen walked to the dining table and sat down, holding the noodles and staring blankly.
"You don't have any ingredients at home, so it's just like this, let's eat it first, hehe......" Bai Shuo finished speaking, picked up the noodles first, and ate them, at this point in time, he was indeed a little hungry.
Li Zhen slowly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a pinch of noodles and fed them to his mouth, eating and eating, his eyes were red again.
"What's the matter, a bowl of noodles moved you?" hehe...... Bai Shuo smiled and took out a tissue from the table and handed it to Li Zhen. Li Zhen took the tissue and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Who was moved, I just woke up, and my eyes are a little astringent." With that, he picked up the bowl and ate it in a big gulp.
After eating the noodles, Li Zhen was responsible for cleaning up and washing the dishes. This time, it was Bai Shuo's turn to quietly look at Li Zhen's busy figure while doing housework. When Li Zhen finished cleaning up, Bai Shuo saw that it was not too early, and he also got up and prepared to leave, after all, a woman who had just divorced was in her house, and it was not good for such a lonely man and widow. Li Zhen sent him to the door again, and Bai Shuo asked again: "Now that you are alone, can I ask you out to play in the future?"
Li Zhen nodded a little shyly, Bai Shuo left happily, and the moment he walked out of the door of the corridor, he jumped up excitedly. Although everything has changed a lot from the memory in the dream, it seems that the relationship with Li Zhen is still developing in the established direction.
For the rest of the day, it seemed that everything was getting better and better. Li Zhen is usually very busy with work, but when he is free, he will come out to get together with Bai Shuo and them, and sometimes he will eat and drink coffee with Bai Shuo alone. Li Zhen's mood gradually recovered little by little, and Bai Shuo's feelings for Li Zhen seemed to be accumulating little by little. In the A-share market, ST Jinjing has been reviewing and starting a continuous daily limit since Bai Shuo went to Nanshui Town, and it has been more than 30 consecutive daily limits, Liang Ying said in surprise, I have never seen such a crazy stock. He didn't have much hope for this stock before, thinking that ST shares could rise by up to 5% per day, but who knew that the bookmaker of this stock could play like this. Bai Shuo counted the time, and let Liang Ying slowly throw it out when he saw the opportunity, the A-share market left them with little time, and they had more important things to do later. In the United States, the signal of the crisis has become more and more intense, with a number of hedge funds in crisis, European and American stock markets plummeting across the board, some real estate trust companies began to go bankrupt, and ZF began to pay attention to the crisis and rescue the market. After many discussions, Liu Shu and Zhong Pengcheng's team did not agree that their opinions were not very unanimous, and this choice was finally handed over to Bai Shuo and Liang Ying.
