"Sister, it's different. You should understand." I said in a low voice, sighing.
"Yes, it's different. I know. Sister understands you, because you are still relatively traditional in your heart. But Feng Xiao, this is all fate, and you have to accept it. Take me for example, now I am right
I no longer have any hope for marriage, because I have resigned myself to my fate. Well, are you free tonight? Let’s have a meal together," she said.
"You have no plans tonight?" I asked. In my mind, she was always busy.
"I can put down tonight's affairs," she said.
"Then there's no need. Don't affect your work. Let's do this. We'll contact you after you're done socializing," I said.
"So, are you feeling better now?" she asked.
"Much better. It's okay." I said.
"That's okay. Feng Xiao, if you have anything that makes you feel uncomfortable in the future, you must tell me. Do you hear me?" she said.
"Yeah." I said hurriedly.
"There have been a lot of things going on in the government recently, and things in the officialdom have become more and more complicated. So, I may not have much time to spend with you, so don't blame me. Also, your classmate Kang Demao is also very busy. He
You follow Governor Huang out almost every day, and you try to have as little contact with him as possible. Let's wait until this period of time passes." She then added.
"Yeah." I replied again, thinking: It seems that their work is not as fun as mine.
Therefore, I feel even more that administrative work is not suitable for me.
In fact, I could tell from Lin Yu's words that she didn't have to have dinner with me today, but she just didn't trust me.
I went home directly after get off work, and when I entered the house, I found Lin Yu inside. I asked in surprise: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's okay. I was passing by and came in to see Xiaonan and the kids. If you don't come back, I'll be ready to leave right away." He said with a smile.
I immediately laughed, "It seems you still have something to do, right? It's just not that important."
He nodded, "That's right. Shangguan Qin is back from Beijing. I still think we should discuss it with Zhuang Qing first. How about it? Are you free in the past few days? Let's go to Beijing together?"
"About the signing?" I asked. I remembered that I had suggested to him that the signing ceremony of Zhuang Qing's endorsement contract should be turned into a press conference.
"Yeah. How about it? Come with me?" He asked me with a smile.
I thought about the last time I met the paparazzi in Beijing, and I felt that it was unfair to go there, so I shook my head and said: "I'd better not go to such a thing. I'm just a doctor, and I'll attend such a thing."
What’s the ceremony for?”
He didn't force me, "Okay. If you don't want to go, forget it. I'm just asking you casually."
Now I felt embarrassed, so I asked him tentatively: "If I don't go, it won't affect your affairs, right?"
He laughed, "No. I told you, I'm just asking you casually."
I felt relieved immediately. Then, he stood up and walked outside. I stood up hurriedly to see him off, but he stopped at the door of my house, turned around and asked me, "Feng Xiao
, I just looked at Xiao Nan, and I found that her condition is getting worse and worse, have you ever thought about it? What if one day... do you understand what I mean? "
I hurriedly glanced at the door of the room where Chen Yuan was, "Uncle Lin, please keep your voice down. She can hear it."
He was startled, then smiled at me, "Feng Xiao, I understand. That's it, I shouldn't ask you this question."
Immediately, he left.
I stood blankly in the center of the living room... Yes, he is such a smart person, he should be able to hear my true inner thoughts from what I just said. In fact, what I just said was just a sudden and uncontrollable thought.
I said it out loud, because I have always believed that Chen Yuan should be aware of the environment around her. Because of this, I was particularly worried that Lin Yi's words were heard by her, because Lin Yi's words had already been made very clear:
Judging from Chen Yuan's current situation, he is likely to leave this world at any time. What will I do if that day really comes?
Therefore, my first feeling is that Chen Yuan must not let Chen Yuan hear his words, because his words are likely to be heard by Chen Yuan and become reality. You know, sometimes language has a profound impact on a person's life.
The blowing power is also very powerful. Of course, this must be done when Chen Yuan can sense her surroundings, but I have always firmly believed in this.
I reminded Lin Yi in time, and he also understood my heart: I care about Chen Yuan so much in my heart.
In fact, I had not fully noticed my feelings for Chen Yuan before, but just last night, the dream on the plane made me truly understand the position of Chen Yuan in my heart.
However, I now feel that what Lin Yi just said is not that simple, because now I think about it: his question seems to have regarded it as inevitable that Chen Yuan will leave this world at any time.
So, what kind of meaning did he want to express to me?
Do you just want to ask about my attitude? Or do you want to know my thoughts on my future marriage?
Later I found out that he didn’t just come to my house to have a casual chat with me. In fact, he had already made arrangements for my future marriage at that time. Of course, he also wanted me to go to Beijing.
He had his own thoughts, but he didn't feel it was so urgent at that time.
Later, when Lin Yi and his Jiangnan Group collapsed together, my mood was still so complicated, because I found that I didn't know how to evaluate him at all.
Lin Yi took Shangguanqin to Beijing the next day. I specially watched the press conference planned by Jiangnan Group the next day, and I saw Zhuang Qing on the TV screen.
When Zhuang Qing attended the press conference, she was wearing a red dress. The style of the skirt was very trendy, simple and elegant. The bottom of the skirt was just below her knees, which showed her beautiful calves to the extreme. At the same time,
It also brought out the beauty of her charming smile.
I didn't pay much attention to what they said at the press conference because my attention was all on Zhuang Qing. After the press conference, I discovered something: I didn't see Lin Yi, and the person attending the press conference was Shangguan Qin.
, she is representing Jiangnan Group. In addition, there is a deputy minister of our Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee Publicity Board and a deputy director of the Department of Culture. Shangguan Qin made a brief speech at the press conference. I felt that although she
She is very beautiful, but not as natural and lively as Zhuang Qing, and she also seems a little nervous.
I secretly felt funny in my heart: I never thought that Shangguanqin would be nervous sometimes.
Shangguanqin's words caught my attention. She said: "After our preliminary negotiation with Miss Zhuang Qing, Miss Zhuang Qing will come to Jiangnan in half a month to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of our opera house project..."
In half a month, we will enter late autumn.
In the next half month, I counted the days almost every day. I was anxiously waiting for the day when Zhuang Qing arrived. But what I didn't expect was that in this half month, something happened that made me sad.
Something happened that I didn't expect.
Caicai's boyfriend, the foreign language teacher named Luan Charlie, is dead.
When I heard the news, I was stunned, and a deep sense of self-blame suddenly hit me.
Charlie Luan committed suicide by turning on the gas in his own residence and left a suicide note. The general meaning of his suicide note was: He was seriously ill and did not want to suffer too much, so he had no choice but to end his life in this way.
Moreover, underneath his suicide note was a doctor’s diagnosis: stomach cancer.
The police also determined that he committed suicide.
But I still feel guilty because I always feel that his death has something to do with me.
That day, which was the third day after I came back from Xiamen, after Charlie Luan and I talked on the phone, we went to a coffee shop outside the school.
The cafe outside the school is not very big. It is mainly opened to satisfy couples among students, so the prices of coffee and snacks are not very expensive.
I went there first, found a seat against the wall and sat down, ordered some sweets such as preserved fruits, and then ordered myself a cup of tea.
It didn't take long for him to arrive. I asked him if he wanted to drink tea or coffee. He said, "Coffee, I like the taste of coffee. Alas! I haven't drank it for many years."
I found that he has changed a lot, at least it is very different from his previous image in my mind. In my impression, although he is very old, at least he is not as bald as he is now, and his back is too thin.
He shouldn't be as hunchbacked and skinny as he is now.
To be honest, if I talk purely from a man's perspective, I sympathize with him very much. Charlie Luan never married a wife, and he almost never had the pleasure of love before he met Cai Cai. He was always a joke in the eyes of others.
Object. On the other hand, he is not a good-for-nothing man as people think. At least his foreign language level is very good, and his teaching ability is also very strong.
Looking at the man opposite me, he seems a little humble, but I have to greet him politely, because he is my teacher. When I treat my teacher, even if I don’t think highly of him in my heart, I still
I instinctively showed respect to him. This is something in a person's bones, and it is the imprint left deep in my heart by traditional culture.
I asked him what he liked to drink, and he said: "Coffee, I like the taste of coffee. Alas! I haven't drank it for many years."
His words surprised me: Coffee is not an expensive thing, why don't you buy it and drink it? But then I thought of those jokes about him and felt relieved.
At the same time, I immediately remembered the purpose of looking for him today and the abnormal relationship between him and Cai Cai. Therefore, my sympathy for the old man in front of me suddenly decreased.
A kind of contempt and anger suddenly emerged from the bottom of my heart.
I feel that no matter from which perspective, his seduction of a young girl is inappropriate and incomprehensible and inexcusable. (To be continued)
