She didn't know when he came, or how much he listened to her words. Lin Xiangwan didn't care, she was as tired as a cat, but her eyes were bright.
"Aren't you afraid of catching cold if you don't wear socks?" Chu Diluo said reproachfully, squatting next to her and covering her feet in his hands.
Although she had the surgery, she was still not in good health. In winter, her hands and feet were always cold. Only by being warmed by him would she stop shivering. Because of her past work, Lin Xiangwan still liked to stay up late and took a shower.
Just sit in front of the computer with disheveled hair and read gossip. In the past, no one cared about it. She would often see one or two o'clock at a glance. By the time she realized that it was late, her body was as stiff as a piece of wood. Now it is one to twelve o'clock.
, Chu Di would go to the study to find her, and whether she wanted to or not, he would carry her back to the bedroom.
Putting her cold hands and feet against his warm chest and listening to her let out a comfortable sigh, even if he felt a little uncomfortable, it was worth it.
For a long time, Chu Di has always felt that he is not a person who can take care of others. Even now that Lin Xiangwan says that he is very good to her, he still feels that he has not done much in fact. She is too independent and the habits she developed in her early years make her
She couldn't completely rely on one person. She didn't like to be restrained. If he cared more about her, she would get angry and jump on her feet and tell him that she wanted human rights. Whenever this time, Chu Di wouldn't quarrel with her, just yell.
Come to Ye Nan and let him watch from the side.
At this time, the two of them would throw away all their previous prejudices and become particularly in harmony with each other. Neither one nor the other would speak, and just cast a sad or disdainful look at Lin Xiangwan, which was enough to make her take the initiative.
surrender.
"I won't sit for a long time. I will go back soon." Lin Xiangwan muttered, but did not resist. The warmth of the man's palm made her feel very comfortable and she was reluctant to move away.
Chu Di sat next to her and rubbed the acupuncture points on the soles of her feet for her. His movements were slow and long, full of strength, but would not make her feel uncomfortable. It seemed that he was used to doing this kind of thing. Lin Xiangwan was wrapped
Lying sideways on a thin blanket, on a snowy night, even if there are no stars and moon, it will look very bright. Chu Di’s side face looks clear, without the worries of middle-aged and old men getting fat at all. "If others see you like this
, you’ll probably think I’m abusing you.”
There was a hint of ridicule in her tone, and her toes as round as white shells were swimming in Chu Di's hands, like a few restless little fishes. Chu Di squeezed them gently, "I am willing to do it, no matter who."
can speak."
He promised her that she was the one who took care of him in the beginning, but now he will be solely responsible for her life.
Lin Xiangwan stared at the man in front of her, knowing clearly that he was him, but sometimes she always felt that he was not actually him. He was a fake whose core had been changed, leaving only the same shell. Otherwise,
That man with a vicious tongue and a cunning heart, where has he gone? When was he swallowed up by the years and replaced by such a man? No matter what she does, even if he approves, he will accompany her and watch her act wild.
A man who would smile at her?
Two months ago, Ye Nan had a competition. Lin Xiangwan and Chu Di went to watch it together. Before the competition started, she wandered around the Go Museum downstairs. Because it was a children's competition, there were a lot of parents who came that day.
The place was as chaotic as a wet market, but Lin Xiangwan was as calm as water. She didn't pay much attention to Ye Nan's competition results. It was good to get first place, but even if he couldn't win, it didn't matter. What she valued more was whether he could
Get happiness in the process. She didn't want to cultivate a genius. When the water is full, it overflows, and the moon waxes and wanes. If something is too perfect, it is not far from being beautiful.
So while other parents were anxious about their children's competition results, she was like a crane, walking around the museum with her hands behind her back. She looked around and looked around, and not long after, Lin Xiangwan came to
Deep in the museum, even she forgot how many times she had turned around. When she looked back, she found Chu Di right behind her.
He was obviously not a scholar and would not wander around in the museum when he had time. In addition, his body had only just recovered and his legs would feel uncomfortable if he stood for a long time. Lin Xiangwan thought that he would definitely find a place to rest.
But what she didn't expect was that no matter where she went, she would find him not far behind her when she turned around.
When he saw her looking back, he would smile quietly at her. The two of them were obviously separated by a distance, but they seemed to be inextricably connected. Even the movements of their hands and feet were in tacit understanding.
Ye Nan finally won the third prize that day. The organizer gave a small trophy. The bonus after tax was several hundred yuan. In the past, Ye Nan would give this kind of money directly to Lin Xiangwan, and Lin Xiangwan would either save it for him.
, or the two of them had a good meal out, but this time Ye Nan didn't hand over the bonus, and Lin Xiangwan didn't ask him for it. When the child grows up, he can't be restrained all the time. So that day's dinner,
It is Chu Di who is the banker.
So in the restaurant, Chu Di once again surprised Lin Xiangwan. He remembered all their preferences, what kind of dishes Ye Nan liked to eat, how cooked the steak should be, and even Lin Xiangwan's bowl
He automatically picked the asparagus in the bowl and put it into his bowl...
When he does these things, there is nothing showy or exaggerated in it. Everything is natural, like gurgling water, making people feel comfortable and caring.
When did he notice these little things? Even she herself didn't know some of the tiny details about Ye Nan's life, but he knew it very well. He said he would take care of them. This was not an empty talk. He really meant it.
Do it.
"Oh, by the way, I received a letter yesterday afternoon and I put it on your desk." Seeing that she still didn't want to sleep, Chu Di chatted casually with Lin Xiangwan. "Who sent it?"
These days, ordinary letters are almost becoming an antique. People usually communicate by either mobile phones or the Internet. How can anyone still write letters?
"I don't know." Lin Xiangwan shook his head, "I didn't write the sender on the letter. It seemed to be a thank you letter from a Hope Primary School, and there was no name of the school on it, but I probably didn't sponsor this school.
Wasn’t it sent to you?”
"I don't remember it, bring it to me to see."
The letter was printed by a machine, with many children's palm prints stamped on it. The entire letter paper was filled with a rich sense of innocence and joy. On the back of the letter paper was a photo. Hundreds of children and teachers were crowded together. Everyone's
Their faces are all small, but you can see that they are all laughing.
Chu Di took the letter and looked at it under the light for a long time. Then he pointed to a point on the letter and said to Lin Xiangwan, "Come and see here."
Lin Xiangwan leaned over, looked at it for a moment, and then suddenly screamed. She took the letter over and looked at the lamp carefully over and over again.
"This is... Ming Fei?" The facial features of the person in the photo were blurred, and Lin Xiangwan almost looked at each other before he could barely recognize it.
This name and this person have disappeared from her world for nearly a year. Xu Mingfei left so simply and resolutely, completely unlike the gentle and kind-hearted person she usually was. She left, but she didn't
A big mess was left behind.
Now the Baili family and the Zhong family are fighting to the death in the jewelry business, which has caused some small businesses to close down because their profit margins have been seriously backlogged. Every banquet attended by Baili Tong, the head of the Baili family, and Zhong Kun, the rookie of the Zhong family,
It will inevitably become a gathering place for paparazzi, because they know that these two people are like natural enemies. Even if they don't meet, they will criticize each other to pieces, or if they meet, they will definitely be incompatible.
Many people are curious about why these two people who had no connection at all suddenly turned against each other, but very few know the truth.
"It should be her. She was probably worried that you would be worried, so she used this way to report that she was safe." Chu Di said, taking the letter, folding it and putting it in the drawer.
Lin Xiangwan looked at her empty palms, feeling dazed for a moment. "I don't know if she is living well? Can she get used to living in a remote and remote area?" She is also someone who has lived in the mountains and rural areas, and knows how unpleasant life in impoverished mountainous areas is.
It's easy. Sometimes I can't even drink clean water. I don't know how Xu Mingfei, who has been living in Baili's home with good clothes and fine food, can endure it.
"No matter how bad the living conditions are, at least she is free. In that kind of place, no one will force her to do something she doesn't want to do." Chu Di said, "Don't underestimate Xu Mingfei, she is a very strong woman, and it is her responsibility to leave here.
She will definitely live a good life if she chooses, so you don’t have to worry too much about her.”
Is this really going to happen? Lin Xiangwan was a little at a loss. She once thought that leaving was a good thing, but in the end she realized that some things can't be let go just by saying let them go.
For example, people who have loved and hated before, such as people who still love and hate today...
"It's getting late, why don't you go to bed?" The hands of the clock pointed to five o'clock, and the snow outside stopped at some point. The white sky and earth looked extremely clean.
Lin Xiangwan shook his head, "I don't want to sleep. I don't have to go to work tomorrow anyway. If you feel sleepy during the day, you can catch up on your sleep. How long has it been since you saw the sunrise?"
As soon as she asked the question, Chu Di knew what she wanted to do, so he stopped trying to persuade her. He just hugged her and sat back on the floor. The two of them chatted wordlessly, waiting for the dawn to break.
arrival.
The heating in the room was turned on to the maximum, and his body was as warm as a small heater, so even if he sat on the floor, he would not feel cold. The man's heartbeat came through the thin blanket, one after another, firm and powerful, and consistent with
Her heartbeats were intertwined.
Lin Xiangwan's palm was held tightly by him, and the man's fingers gently rubbed back and forth on the old scar on her palm. It was a scar that would never fade away and might remain in her palm for a lifetime.
But after looking at it for a long time, she didn't think it was that ugly. At least she didn't think so, and she also knew that he would definitely think so too.
Just like this long snowy night, no matter how raging the wind and snow are, there will eventually be a moment when the snow passes and the sky becomes sunny. Only those who have seen the wind and snow can know the value of sunny days.
When the first golden ray of the sun illuminates the entire snow-white city, dawn is right in front of you.
