At this moment, a trace of regret suddenly flashed through my heart: Why did I give up on such a good woman? But this regret only flashed for a moment. I smiled bitterly and said to Lin Yi: "Uncle Lin, you
Stop talking about this."
Lin Yi sighed and stopped talking, but Xia Lan immediately said: "Feng Xiao is still young, why are you anxious? Actually, I think Zhuang Qing and you are quite suitable. I don't understand why you can't be together.
Woolen cloth?"
Lin Yi said: "Zhuang Qing is not suitable for him. Zhuang Qing's heart is too big."
Xia Lan asked him in surprise: "Why do you say that? She is just an actress, and she wants to make a few good movies. How can she be so ambitious?"
Lin Yi glanced at me and said, "Don't ask. Feng Xiao understands what I mean."
Xia Lanlai looked at me, and I smiled bitterly again and said: "Actually, I find that I understand her less and less. I can be friends with her, but not husband and wife. Let's not talk about this anymore... Lin
Uncle, I have eaten."
In fact, I already have the idea of leaving right away, because today's topics make me feel uncomfortable.
But Lin Yi said: "I've finished eating too. Feng Xiao, let's go to the study and sit. I haven't talked to you for a long time."
I could only nod.
This is the first time I have entered his study here. His villa is too big and there are many rooms in it. I have visited some rooms in it before, but I did not find where his study is located.
It turns out that his study is on the top floor, on the other side of the rooftop terrace. I guess this side should also be a terrace, but he changed it into a study room separated by transparent glass.
He turned on the light in the study room, and I found that there was a large bookshelf inside. On the side against the wall, the other three sides were covered with large floor-to-ceiling glass, and the roof was made of wood.
It's night now, but I can imagine what it's like during the day. There should be plenty of light.
I said: "Uncle Lin, why did you make the study like this? The light is very good, but it will be very dazzling when reading."
He smiled and said: "My glass is not ordinary glass. It can adjust the light that enters."
Then he took out a remote control panel and pressed it. I was surprised to find that the light in the distance outside the glass window I just saw quickly disappeared, and the window slowly turned into complete darkness.
I couldn't help but sigh, "How much does this thing cost?"
He smiled and said: "It's not very expensive. But I like to read in a well-lit environment, which makes me feel very relaxed."
He began to boil water to make tea. Of course, the tea-making utensils he used were very exquisite. The teapot and teacups were all made of purple sand.
I said: "I like to read in a dark environment, so that I can calm down."
The water was already boiling. He poured water into the teapot and said with a smile: "That's because you are still young and easily affected by the external environment. I can't. It's easy to fall asleep if the light is too dark."
He was washing the tea skillfully, then poured out the water with which the tea leaves had been washed, and then poured water into the teapot again. A special fragrance suddenly spread in the room.
He poured me a glass and said, "Try it, this is this year's Longjing."
I took a sip and immediately felt the fragrance filling my cheeks, and there was also a slight sweet aftertaste. I couldn't help nodding and praising: "What a good tea."
He smiled and said: "Actually, tea is the same as wine. Drinking it alone loses a lot of fun. This tea has been sitting here for several months, and I rarely drink it. It's just right that you are here today, otherwise it will be over again after a while.
The tea will become stale and you will have to throw it away."
I jokingly said: "Uncle Lin, please give me all the tea leaves you plan to throw away from now on. Anyway, my requirements for this thing are not that high."
He immediately laughed and said, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. This idiom seems to be more appropriate in this matter. I give you something that I don't even like. This in itself is a kind of kindness to you."
It’s disrespectful. That’s not okay.”
I immediately laughed, "Uncle Lin, this is the first time I've heard someone use this idiom like this. But I think it's quite appropriate. I really don't care, I just think it tastes good."
But he immediately said to me seriously: "That's not okay. Feng Xiao, you must be sincere when giving things to others, and when accepting things from others, you must also check whether the other person is sincere. This reflects a person's dignity."
I immediately calmed down and said, "Yes. Uncle Lin, you are right."
He waved his hand at me and said: "Of course, we were joking just now. Feng Xiao, you are actually quite serious, and I appreciate this very much. I heard that you were the first to oppose me in your Shangjiang City Standing Committee meeting.
The suggestions for the transformation of your city. Is that so?"
I didn't expect that he would ask me about this matter face to face, but I was not nervous because I had discussed this matter with him before. I nodded and said, "Yes. Uncle Lin, I think your plan is not good."
It's perfect. A city must have its own style, but if the elements are too single, it will lose its aura. After all, we have now entered the modern society, so a city should still have distinctive modern characteristics. Only
A city composed of diverse elements will be more attractive. This is my true opinion, and I think I should be more responsible for the future of a city."
He nodded, "Maybe you are right. Actually, now I am tired of some things. At the beginning, whenever I saw the properties I developed, I still felt very proud. I felt that this city has
I have the footprints of my own struggles and have done a lot for this city.
But now I am really tired of it. Whenever I see the high-rise buildings built by my company rising one after another, I no longer have the same excitement as before. Hey! Maybe I am getting old.
So, I don’t particularly care about your going to the river. But Ning Xiangru said one thing to me when she left, which was about the construction of your gymnasium. I promised her this matter, so I must also
Do it well. The gymnasium can also be regarded as a livelihood project, because it is related to the health of the people, and it is also a symbol of a city's civilization. I am willing to do such good things."
His words suddenly moved me. At the same time, I couldn't believe that he was the kind of person Tong Yao suspected.
I said: "Thank you, Uncle Lin."
He looked at me and smiled: "Feng Xiao, actually I have wanted to talk to you for a long time. Do you know? In fact, I am very lonely, because there are many things that I cannot tell anyone else, but I am willing to talk to you.
Talk. If there are too many things in a person's heart, it will be very uncomfortable. You have to find someone to talk to."
I felt even more moved in my heart, because his words represented a kind of trust in me. I said to him sincerely: "Thank you, Uncle Lin."
He waved his hand at me and said, "You don't have to be so polite in front of me. I've told you a long time ago that we are a family, so don't get so quarrelsome."
