◎Good girl. ◎
The night was as cold as water, and in the silence, Chen Zui heard his own voice tightening: "Why return it?"
Liang Yuwei seemed to have a smile in his voice: "Why are you nervous?"
He seemed to be turning his head to look at her, his voice It's closer than it sounded just now.
Chen Zui swallowed his saliva: "I owe you a lot of favors, and I'm thinking about how to repay them."
Liang Yuwei laughed and said nothing.
"Shall I treat you to dinner?"
Liang Yuwei paused and said yes.
"What do you like to eat? I'll do my homework."
"You cook it for me?"
She originally wanted to find a good restaurant, but Liang Yuwei had already finished her words, so she could only tell the truth: "My craftsmanship Average."
Liang Yuwei said nonchalantly, "I'm not a bad person."
The two of them laughed in unison.
Chen Zui turned his head and glanced at the dark place on the right.
Even though she couldn't see anything, she still felt like a pool of gentle water was flowing between them.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next morning, Chen Zuo woke up very early.
The swelling on her foot was smaller than the day before, and a large bruise appeared around the swelling.
She tried moving her ankle, but it still hurt.
After washing, Chen Zui jumped to the window and opened the sliding door.
The morning sun shines through the shadows of the trees, and the air is fresh and sweet.
There was no one on the balcony next door.
"Good morning."
The voice came from directly below.
She lowered her head, and Liang Yuwei was standing in the yard with his hands in his pockets, looking up at her quite leisurely, with a handsome and clean face.
"Morning." She waved to him.
"How are your feet?"
"It's better."
Liang Yuwei asked the boss to send breakfast upstairs. He told Chen that there was no need to worry and he would leave after eating.
We had to walk a long way back to the road to get to the highway. Ding Yi was still carrying the bag, and Liang Yuwei was carrying Chen Zui.
After walking for a while, Chen Zui remembered that he was in a bad mood on the phone the night before, so he asked: "I didn't delay you for anything yesterday, right?"
Liang Yuwei shook his head and said, "No."
Chen Zui continued: "I I've thought about it, but it's still not enough to treat you to a meal. If you have any gifts or wishes, I can fulfill them."
She was a little embarrassed, but luckily Liang Yuwei couldn't see her. expression. After all, people like Liang Yuwei probably lack nothing.
Liang Yuwei smiled secretly and hummed.
The B&B owner's car was filled with a strong smell of perfume, which made Chen most uncomfortable. After getting in the car, he leaned on the seat and said nothing.
In the car, Ding Yi asked without giving up, do you really not want to add Li Muyang to WeChat?
Chen Zui kept his eyes closed, and his thinking slowed down.
She shook her head hesitantly.
During their brief interaction the day before, she and Li Muyang had spoken less than ten words in total, and she would not go hiking again in the short term.
She said, "You have to delete friends even if you add them."
"Do you often delete friends?" Liang Yuwei asked suddenly.
"Well, delete the ones you don't contact." After Chen Zui finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that she had deleted Liang Yuwei's WeChat account.
She always thought he didn't know.
Judging from his expression, he seemed to know...
Chen Zui continued to close his eyes.
She heard Liang Yuwei snort coldly.
-
Chen Zui’s face turned pale when she got off the car. She held onto a tree on the side of the road in a daze and leaned over to take a deep breath.
She didn't get car sick originally, but the thick and low-quality fragrance in the car was so irritating that she endured it all the way to prevent herself from vomiting.
She weakly pointed at her backpack. Liang Yuwei thought she was going to vomit, so he patted her back again and again.
"No." Her thin white fingers reached into the side pocket of her backpack, "Mobile phone."
Liang Yuwei helped her take out the vibrating mobile phone and handed it to her.
He saw the words "Li Qingyun" displayed on it.
Chen Zui stood up straight and picked up: "Hey, Mom."
Liang Yuwei supported her and helped her maintain balance.
Li Qingyun called and said that his brother was on summer vacation and could he be sent to her for two days?
After Chen Shengping and Li Qingyun divorced, they each had children. In addition to Xingxing, Chen Zui also has a younger brother.
"I want to work." Chen said calmly.
"Don't you have weekends off? I have to be on duty next weekend, so you can look after me for two days on the weekend."
Chen Zui said that her foot was injured and it was inconvenient to do anything.
"As long as you are at home, just order takeout for dinner or something." Li Qingyun felt that this was nothing.
Chen Zui frowned and said, "I only have one bedroom here. How will he live here?"
"Just one night, just squeeze in."
"He has already gone to elementary school, and he should know the difference between men and women."
Li Qingyun was silent. After a while, he said not very politely: "Sometimes I really wonder if there is a stone, which can't be heated by covering it."
Chen Zui bit his lower lip and replied with a livid face: "You two didn't care about me at the beginning. I didn’t blame anyone, but now it’s my fault.”
There was a busy signal from the other end.
Chen weakly stuffed the phone back into his bag, feeling dizzy and retching several times.
Meeting Liang Yuwei's gaze, she explained: "My mother called and asked me to help take care of my brother."
Liang Yuwei ignored her words, frowned and asked, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
She shook her head, Her thoughts were still on the phone call just now, asking him: "Am I a little ruthless?"
Liang Yuwei patted her back gently to ease her discomfort and said: "So what if you are ruthless? I think you are magnanimous. It must not be your fault."
Chen Zui lowered his eyes and smiled lightly.
Liang Yuwei stared at her: "Chen Zui, I think you are a good girl."
-
Liang Yuwei sent Chen Zui home.
Apart from Jiang Siyao, Liang Yuwei was the first guest of the opposite sex in Chen Zui's family.
The home is not big, clean and simple, but lacks vitality. There are no ornaments, no decorations, not even out-of-the-blue colors.
Except for the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves full of books, it seems that the owner of this room has no hobbies.
Liang Yuwei stopped in front of her floor-to-ceiling bookshelf. In addition to some art-related books on the bookshelf, there are also her high school textbooks and exercise books high up, all of which are well preserved.
Liang Yuwei asked, "Do you mind if I take a look?"
Chen Zui shook his head and told him to take it as he pleased.
Liang Yuwei was tall. He casually pulled out a high school physics book from the top. There was beautiful handwriting on the cover, "Grade 3, Class 7, Chen Zui".
He looked through several old textbooks and when he stuffed the books back, he found a light blue packaging bag sandwiched between the books.
The packaging bag was inconspicuous and thin, with two sun protection sleeves inside. At first glance, I thought it was a gift from a certain book.
Chen Zui saw this in his hand and said casually: "This, someone gave this to me when I was in high school."
"Who?"
Chen Zui shook his head: "I don't know."
"You haven't opened it yet?" Liang Yu Wei shook the intact packaging.
"Yes."
Chen Zui did not continue speaking. If she continued to speak, her scar would be pulled out.
She once thought it was from Sheng Hui or Teacher Zhang, because they were the only ones who knew she had scars. Later, she tried it and found that it was not the case.
Someone else knows her secret.
That person had the heart to protect her secret, and she has kept this goodwill to this day.
Liang Yuwei nodded, put everything back in its place, and said, "With so many things, it might be inconvenient to move."
Indeed, every time Chen Zui moved, it was a big project.
His parents divorced and started their own families. There was no room for Chen Zui in either family.
After she graduated and found a job, she moved all her belongings away.
She smiled and said, "I am a landlord with many houses. Once I paid him rent, and he forgot that he owned this house. He probably won't take it back in a short time."
Liang Yuwei looked around. , said, let me give you some green plants.
Chen Zui shook his head: "I can't support him."
"Then give him something easier to support."
"I don't seem to be interested in these."
Liang Yuwei stared at Chen Zui in front of him.
She always closes her heart and puts herself out of life, as if she doesn't care about anything.
He wanted her to get her zest for life back.
"Aren't we all trying to get in touch with nature? Let's try to feed plants again."
-
Liang Yuwei came out of Chen Zui's house, went home, changed clothes, and drove to the family home of a university in the old city.
Liang Jianyi and Lin Han were both at home. When they heard the door lock turning, they looked at each other without any reaction.
At the family dinner the night before, Liang Yuwei was absent, and her parents were not in a good mood.
Liang Yuwei walked in and called out calmly: "Dad, Mom."
Liang Jianyi said expressionlessly: "You still know how to come back."
Liang Yuwei took the initiative to apologize: "I did have something to do last night, so I couldn't come back. "
Liang Jianyi raised his eyebrows and said mockingly: "Who are you fighting with again?"
Liang Jianyi and Lin Han rarely pay attention to online news. When the video of Liang Yuwei's fight spread all over the world, they learned about it from their colleagues.
The fight caused a storm in the city, and he was almost suspended from his job. This kind of thing could happen to their twenty-six-year-old son.
The two gardeners who taught and educated people only cared about the influence of this incident and never explored Liang Yuwei's original intention.
Liang Yuwei shrugged, sat next to Lin Han, picked up the teapot and poured tea: "It was my fault yesterday. From today on, I will come back to eat every day."
Liang Jianyi snorted.
Lin Han said: "Don't blame your dad for losing his temper. You don't care how old you are, and you are still so impulsive. Can fists solve the problem?"
Liang Yuwei thought to himself, fists can't solve the problem, but that punch can't solve the problem. If he fights out, he won't be able to forgive himself.
But if you confront your parents at this time, this matter will not go through.
He was familiar with his father's temper and chose not to refute it.
"That video has so many views and has such a big impact. Not to mention my colleagues, many of my students know about it..."
Liang Yuwei nodded and said: "I know, Mom."
It's okay not to see him, but to see him, Liang Jianyi's anger rose again.
"Can't you pay attention to the impact? Do you think you are a high school student?"
Liang Yuwei made a move with his hands: "What's wrong with the high school students?"
"The point is this? The point is that you are so old that you still fight!" Liang Jianyi is not skilled. He quickly pulled up the video from his phone and tapped the screen with his fingers angrily, "When I got into a fight in high school, I lost my place as a recommended person, and now I'm going to lose my job? Don't you think about what your employer will think of you? What will your boss think of you? If it's really because of this Isn't it a big joke to be suspended?"
Liang Yuwei nodded: "I know."
"You are not just representing yourself. If something happens, people will immediately make a fuss about your identity. The video is so blurry. I can recognize you."
Liang Yuwei forced out a smile: "Shouldn't I thank you for giving me a good body?"
Liang Jianyi snorted, not expecting that Liang Yuwei would analyze the problem from this angle. Almost didn't catch it.
His mood was obviously better than before, but he still had a tense face and accused: "You should be calmer in the future and do more serious things."
Lin Han elbowed him: "Did you hear that?"
He said casually " "Hmm" said.
Because of his good attitude, his father's anger gradually subsided.
Lin Han mentioned it at every opportunity: "Look at your brother, he has not delayed anything from work, love, and marriage."
"No, I can't compare to my brother." Liang Yuwei knew what the next topic was, so he joked , "At worst, I will spend the rest of my life with Zhou Mo."
"With Zhou Mo? You don't even ask Zhou Mo if he is willing." Lin Han said tentatively, "By the way, I heard that Song Shiwei is back?"
"Yes." Liang Yuwei knew that she was asking questions knowingly, so he twisted his neck irritably.
"You are planning to stay in Jingjiang from now on, are you not leaving?"
"I don't know."
Song Shiwei was originally based in Shanghai, but was sent back because the offline store opened. Her future plans are unclear.
"If you have time, ask Song Shiwei to come to your house for a meal?"
"It's not appropriate to ask your work partner to come to your house." Liang Yuwei raised his eyes and looked at Lin Han.
"What's inappropriate? She is still my student. If you don't ask me to call, she is my guest."
Liang Yuwei said casually, opened the door and went out.
He came out of the house and got into the car. Feeling upset again, he got out and lit a cigarette.
The temperature was hot, just like his mood.
He couldn't help but think of Chen Zui's face.
The face he has now and the one he had when he was sixteen years old, the expression has not changed.
He doesn't like smoking, but whenever he encounters something related to Chen Zhi, it seems that only smoking can relieve his irritability.
When he was a boy, Chen Zui appeared in his dreams countless times.
Over the years, she has always occupied a part of his memory.
But now that they met again, he was a little confused about how he felt about Chen Zui.
She is always so distant and cold, as if no one can really get into her heart.
He often gets irritated because of this, but he can't help but do something for her.
The cigarette on my fingertips burned out, my phone vibrated, and an approval reminder appeared on the screen.
For holidays and field work within three days, the approval ends with Fred, and Liang Yuwei only receives the backup.
But he took one more glance.
Shen Miao applied for field work, and the reason column stated that she was going to Li Art Museum to deliver the contract.
This matter can be left to the local courier company. Shen Miao's departure is nothing more than a girl's petty thought of looking for Chen Zui.
Shen Miao was a little clever, but the overall work was done well, so Liang Yuwei ignored these details.
He thought for a while and called Chen Zui: "Are you going to work tomorrow?" Chen Zui thought he had remembered the wrong date, so he took a look at the calendar, then approached the phone and said, "Tomorrow is Monday." "My feet are numb
."
How can we go if it's like that? Why don't we go?"
Chen Zu ignored his sarcasm and said that he had been on annual leave for too long and had not finished a lot of work.
Liang Yuwei was silent for a moment and said, "I'll see you off."
"I can do it myself." Chen Zui rejected him, "Just take a taxi."
"Then treat me to dinner." His tone left no room for doubt. .
Chen had no idea why he suddenly became irrational. From the tone of his voice, it seemed like this was a must-choice question.
She said: "Okay, I can only cook instant noodles now. Will you come?"
"Come."
Chen was most afraid of him: "I still don't want to wrong Mr. Liang and eat instant noodles."
