In order to resist his mother, he married Si Nian, whom his mother hated most.
When Si Nian learned the truth, she chose to divorce.
But he regretted it.
[This story is pure fiction]
“You’re all married, but you’re still not 46. Hurry home. Little Lu hasn’t been here for a long time
. Come back for dinner when you’re free. Be careful on the way. Go quickly!”
Si Nian stood outside the door, looking at each other with a bag of preserved meat sausages on his side. The plan
to stay at her mother’s home failed.
Dejectedly carrying the bag down the stairs, Si Nian felt his footsteps heavy as if they had been filled
with lead.
She really doesn’t want to go home, if that’s really a home.
Canjing Garden is one of the top-grade residential areas in B City. Si Nian lives on the 36th
floor of a certain building, which is the top floor. The house area is very large, with a very exquisite attic. The decoration
style is the Nordic style she loves very much. In order not to appear too cold and hard, she
purchased all kinds of warm elements. Warm sofas, rocking chairs, all kinds of lovely cushions, strange shapes of gadgets..
In short, she arranged the place in her ideal way, and her so-called happiness ran through it.
The car got on the elevated road. It was about ten o’clock in the evening, and there was still a lot of traffic. While waiting for the red light, Si Nian lowered the window a little, and the cold air outside swarmed in along the gap, and she shivered.
As usual, less than 30 minutes by car, she was stunned for nearly 50 minutes before she drove into the community, got out of the car, carried a heavy bag, and looked up at the windows on the 36th floor. I can’t see
anything. For
half a month, she went out alone in the morning light and came back alone in the night. She was the only one in the two-storey house, and there was no other living thing.
How about a cat? When you are
bored, you can brush your hair and bathe it, hold it in your arms and roll its hairy little head.
But some people are allergic to cat hair, and then they sneeze and have a rash.
Forget it. What do you want him to do.
With thoughts tangled into a ball of wool, he pressed the password lock, laboriously put the bag in his hand on the cabinet in the entrance, and Si Nian reached out to touch the switch on the wall. The moment the
light came on, she saw a black mass on the sofa not far away. If it hadn’t been for the suitcase at her feet indicating that someone had gone out and returned, the scream in her throat would have quickly awakened the sleeping neighbor at this point.
Lu Rin leaned back relaxed on the sofa, one arm bent to cover his eyes, and under his neck was the carrot pillow that Si Nian had bought and disliked. He was wearing the gray shirt that Si Nian had seen at a glance when he was shopping, his tie had been pulled loose, and he was covered with the black coat he had left home. I haven’t seen you for
a month, and I seem to have lost a little weight.
Si Nian changed his slippers, walked lightly, and picked up the thick Farrah blanket on the back of the rocking chair as he passed.
Two people are separated by a tea table, bronze do the old hollow design, the top is the frosted glass table top. I remember at that time Lu Lin wanted to find the tea table of the log, but Si Nian took a fancy to it at a glance. Although Lu Lin had some complaints, he paid the money readily.
The tea table was scattered with several pieces of A4 paper covered with black printing fonts, and the bold and enlarged words on the top could be seen at a glance without careful identification.
Divorce papers.
“Back?” The man on the sofa did not know when he had opened his eyes, and his voice was still dull and nasal. Si Nian guessed that he might have caught a cold because
of the sudden drop in temperature in the past two days. After all, as long as he met with sudden changes in the weather, he was hardly spared.
But at this moment, it’s obviously not the time to talk about it.
Lu Rin lifted his clothes and sat up, and there was a brief silence between them. The divorce agreement on the tea table seemed to be a gap between them, with clear boundaries, and now they could not get around it.
When Lu Lin coughed twice and tried to say something, Si Nian opened his mouth first.
“Now that you’ve seen it,” Si Nian licked his chapped lips. “Lu Lin, let’s divorce.”
This marriage may have been a mistake from the beginning.
She and Lu Lin have been married for almost three years, and the cold war has accounted for almost half of the time, and the remaining half is a local hot war and pretending to be in love. Tang Hsueh,
Si Nian’s best friend, acted as a bridesmaid when she got married. When this woman, who had been traveling abroad for many years, learned that Si Nian was going to have a “flash marriage,” she immediately returned home from Europe, full of questions like, “How long have you been in contact with each other? Is it really reliable to get married?”. “What kind of role is that Lu or something? I didn’t even check it.” And so on, after really touching Lu Lin, all the worries turned into soap bubbles that could be broken at a touch. Instead, he said,
“Si Nian, Si Nian, what kind of luck did you step on?”
Indeed, Lu Lin as a marriage partner, the conditions are really good. Good
appearance, tall, low-key and calm, just the right gentlemanly demeanor not only takes good care of others but also does not make people feel frivolous. Behind him is the famous Lu family in the business world, not to mention the material conditions.
In the words of Tang Hsueh, “When people get married, they think about the house and the car, but you’re going straight to be a young grandmother.”
Si Nian felt a chill and said, “Young madam..” Is it right to step back into the old society? What kind of girl can’t find a person like
Lu Lin? Why is she the one?
At that time, Si Nian thought that he might be the Cinderella described by Tang Xue, and Lu Rin saw her in the confusion of flowers and eyes, which was the most common one, but also another degree of uniqueness.
Later, she learned that it was nothing more than rebellion.
Si Nian has an ordinary family background. His parents are both teachers in a middle school near his home. His family is fairly well-off, but he is not rich. Si Nian finished college in a neighboring city and stayed there to work. He worked in the famous five-star hotel L. After several years of job rotation and further training, he was promoted to the housekeeping manager. The salary was good, and the work was busy and idle because of the off-peak season. Overall, it was passable.
Lu Lin’s family is L’s VIP customers, more often appear is Lu Lin, Si Nian occasionally in the hotel cafe and rooftop restaurant to see him, always surrounded by all kinds of people. Most of the time,
his expression is very indifferent. His businesslike appearance often reminds him of his unsmiling boss. Occasionally, he smiles very kindly and his eyes are slightly curved. At this time, Si Nian can’t help observing what kind of people he is with, which can make him show such a relaxed and comfortable look.
He has a lot of female companions. At first, Si Nian thought that the beautiful girl in the red dress holding his arm was Lu’s girlfriend at the annual meeting held by L, but soon at a dinner party, he was replaced by another cute girl in a champagne strapless dress, and then.. Colleagues who
love gossip have secretly discussed behind their backs that Lu Rin is a golden bachelor, and if anyone wins him for the rest of his life, he will not worry about money and appearance. Cautiously, Si Nian raised the question of “girlfriend.” His colleague said dismissively, “It’s just a female companion, just like the pure working relationship between us.”.
Si Nian and he began to intersect when she began to take over some docking work related to Lu, mostly with the capable and elegant assistant gentleman, occasionally when he finally needed to make a decision, there would be some dialogue because of the report.
Until that time. The restaurant on the
roof was only a third full, and Si Nian easily saw Lu Lin and the two ladies opposite him, one of whom she had seen, Lu Lin’s mother, Mrs. Lu, and the other. If she did not admit her mistake, it should be Meng Yan ran, the news anchor of the provincial station. Anyone with
a discerning eye can see the scene of the blind date. The combination of
business elites and beautiful anchors is very good.
Si Nian had no time to put his gossip mind aside a little, and there was an accident in the restaurant. About a few tables away from Lu Rin, a woman seemed to have a seizure and fell to the ground from a dining chair, convulsing constantly with white secretion flowing out of her mouth.
Si Nian was so close that he rushed over, recalling the previous medical professional training in his mind, and quickly arranged for people around him to inform the hotel’s medical team and call the emergency telephone. Although
Si Nian has received professional training, but this situation is not encountered much, she tried to suppress the heartbeat that was about to rush to her throat, her mouth began to read the first aid steps, first put the patient flat, turn her head to one side, try to clean up the secretion in the exit.. The
medical team came quickly and quickly put the patient on a stretcher, and the ambulance downstairs was already waiting. Teacher Chen, who is in charge of medical training for the team, seemed to want to clap Si Nian’s arm when she passed by, but in the face of the fact that she had just picked up a lot of secretion, she withdrew her hand at the right time and turned it into a compliment: “Well done.”
Si Nian, still breathing heavily, smiled weakly and said thank you. The commotion in the
restaurant soon subsided, and Si Nian was ready to leave for the dressing room to deal with his mess. When he passed Lu Lin’s table, the man in a black suit suddenly reached out and took her wrist.
Si Nian’s subconscious thought is-never dirty the guests! However, before she could break free, the man stood up and pulled her in front of him, with his arm around her shoulder.
“Mom, let me introduce you. This is Si Nian.”
When Si Nian was still a little confused and stunned, the man in his ear gave a low laugh.
“We are dating.”
Si Nian expected that this sentence would bring her trouble, and sure enough. Although Mrs.
Lu is elegant and dignified, she will not use the unfashionable means in the TV series to punish her, but she does not hide her dislike. Mrs. Lu, who rarely appeared in L
before, began to come to report often. In addition to eating and drinking coffee, she even booked a room to stay for a few days from time to time, and seemed to unintentionally always ask for the service of Si Nian.
At first, Si Nian didn’t feel anything. First, the little Lu always sent her a message that night, expressing his apology. Although the words did not say too clearly, Si Nian also probably clear, is nothing more than to pull her out to block a gun, stir up the blind date that he is not interested in. Second, Xiao Lu is Party a after all, and she is still half of her own leader. Even if she is pulled to block the gun hole, she can’t say anything.
Right as a relief for him, but no one told her there was a follow-up ah? She can endure things at
work, but outside of work. When Mrs. Lu stayed in the hotel again
that day, Si Nian just handed over his shift. He changed his uniform and high-heeled shoes in the dressing room. As soon as he turned into the lobby of the hotel, he bumped into Mrs. Lu who entered the door, along with the last anchor Meng. When they met in
such a straight manner, Si Nian had to bite the bullet and come forward to say hello. Then the two people in front of him looked up and down with indescribable eyes. Mrs. Lu cleared her throat and frowned slightly: “Why are you dressed like that?”. After work,
Si Nian made an appointment with a friend to go to a newly opened cat cafe to play with cats. He anticipated that he might be covered with all kinds of cat hair. He specially picked out a dress that would not hurt even if it was not cleaned up well. Maybe it looked like some.. But.
“And your hair, in a mess, tsk..”
Si Nian’s hair has been in a bun for a whole day, and now he feels that his whole scalp is very sore, and his hair is disheveled to be more comfortable.
Si Nian glanced at Meng Yan Ran, who was not very willing to look at her, well, neat and stylish curly hair, delicate jewelry and makeup, beautifully cut nude dress, low-key and simple but full of design stilettos.
Perfect, really perfect.
“Mrs. Lu, Miss Meng, I’ve left a little early.” Si Nian decided not to stay here to add to the congestion, and said with a smile: “I wish you a pleasant time in L.”
“If it’s not something urgent, stay and have dinner together.” Mrs. Lu looked at her, not asking for advice, but telling her, “Lu Lin will be here soon.” What’s it
to me? Having said that
, he sat down in the restaurant on the top floor with physical honesty. Lu Lin was also slightly surprised when he saw her, but he quickly adjusted his mood
and came over with a smile that seemed to really see the other half.
Si Nian also smiled naturally, and tacitly began to act.
“Here we go.” Si Nian behaves as naturally as possible. “The chef in charge of Lu’s dinner
in two days is here today. Didn’t you want to see him before? Would you like to..”
The chef is not the chef is not important, the important thing at the moment is that she has to talk
to Lu Lin alone first, for example, it is better to suggest that little Lu always tell the truth and don’t pretend to be like Mrs. Lu disliked
her. Taking her as a shield does not seem to be able to comfort Mrs.
Lu emotionally, but it is easy to add fuel to the fire.
“All right, show me.” Fortunately, Lu Lin winked at her hint
and stood up from his seat. He buttoned his suit button with one hand and looked slightly
over to the opposite side. “I’ll take care of my business first.” The
two of them reached a place where they couldn’t see. Lu Lin leaned against the decorative pillar on the wall
, folded his arms and raised his chin slightly. “What do you want to say?”
He looks like a capitalist waiting for a report.
Si Nian concisely chose some content to report, specific things are not important, anyway
, capitalists only look at the conclusion, the conclusion is that your mother particularly does not like me.
Therefore, I suggest that you adjust the current strategy so that my work can be better.
Si Nian thought to himself.
My mother, she.. I hate you? Lu Rin did not seem to be distressed, and the mood in his expression was somewhat obscure.
Si Nian thought for a moment and replied, “It’s true that the gap between you and me is a little..” So Mrs. Lu can be excused for what she has done.
“Okay, I got it.”
“Mom, I admit my mistake first.” The two of them waited for a while and returned to their seats. As soon as Lu Lin had just sat down, he said surprisingly, “I’m not dating Si Nian. She’s not my girlfriend. I lied last time.”
Si Nian silently picked up the drink next to him to calm down. Both Mrs.
Lu and Meng Yan ran had a “I knew it” expression on their faces. Mrs. Lu was obviously relieved, but before she could express any views on the matter, Lu Lin quickly and accurately blocked her words.
“I’m still in pursuit,” the man said in a deliberately frivolous tone. “Mom, you always show up here. When the time comes, I’m afraid you won’t agree to me. Are you responsible for your son being a bachelor all his life?”
……
Si Nian’s drink almost got stuck in his throat.
High, really high, lies without blinking an eye.
The meal was not pleasant. Halfway through, Mrs. Lu and Meng Yan ran left first on the grounds that they still had something to do, leaving two people looking at each other. Si Nian could only mechanically and numbly stuff the exquisite dishes made by the Michelin chef in the restaurant into his mouth.
“That..” Si Nian thought about it, but still felt that he had to say something about it.
“I’m very grateful to you for relieving me of a big worry at work, but what you just
said..” What are we going to do later..
Lu Lin looked hungry and was struggling with the steak on his plate. Hearing the sound, he raised
his eyes and looked at Si Nian, whose cheeks were still bulging. This glance made Si Nian feel particularly like Tang
Xue’s Samoyed who pretended to be pitiful as soon as he arrived at the meal point.
“You eat first, you eat first.”
Lu Rin finished his meal, gracefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, crossed his hands in front of him
, and posed for a formal exchange.
Si Nian could not help but sit up straight.
“Does Miss Si have a boyfriend?”
“Uh..” No. Miss
Si.. I’m sorry to be so presumptuous. How old is Miss Si?
「27……」
“What is Miss Si’s impression of me?”
“It’s all right..” How can I feel a flash of cold light. “Pretty good, very
good.”
“Then Miss Si might as well consider my pursuit.” Lu Lin’s cell phone on the table vibrated a few times. He glanced at it and spoke at a noticeably faster pace: “On the premise of getting married, and I hope I can get married next year.”
？？？ The message that the
mobile phone kept vibrating was replaced by an incoming call at the moment, Lu Rin frowned slightly, reached for the mobile phone, and was already about to stand up.
“Sorry, I have business to deal with. If possible, can Miss Si give me an answer within this week?”
“General Manager Lu, I..”
“Miss Si, think about it. Goodbye.” The result of
consideration is naturally to agree, otherwise they will not get married later.
Si Nian will agree to the reason is actually very simple, she to Lu Rin, is really moved. However, due to the gap that had to be mentioned between the two, she did not specifically entangle this idea as an obsession. But now that Lu Lin has put forward it, does it mean that he has a good impression on himself, at least.
For the cultivation of a relationship, and even the establishment of a marriage relationship, Si Nian felt that it was a feasible and necessary condition, so she was moved, and she also wanted to try.
After all, she was not initially attracted by those excellent objective conditions, nor by the so-called excellent material life readily available to the Lu family. She clearly knew that the body that attracted her
and made her appreciate was the person named Lu Rin, just as a man.
But perhaps it’s a little ridiculous to say this, as if trying to put a piece of paper on your face and say, “I really don’t do it for money!”
So some time before the wedding preparations, a colleague in the group who had a good time joked that she would have no worries about food and drink for the rest of her life if she married Little Lu. She just chimed in: Of course I won’t let go of a rich husband! I’m already in the upper class, and when my sister gets better, I’ll help you find some other golden tortoises!
Turning the corridor, I saw Lu Lin who came to pick her up to try on her clothes.
Si Nian did not know if he had heard, she kind of wanted to explain that she was just joking, not what he thought, but then thought what he thought? Directly pull this sentence out of the formal explanation is also very abrupt and strange, entangled again and again, Si Nian had no choice but to comfort himself through Lu Rin’s attitude towards her without any change, he did not hear.
Rich and powerful daughter-in-law, and Si Nian imagined almost, like sitting on pins and needles.
At first, they lived with Lu’s father and mother in an old house on the outskirts of the city. The house was very big, with a single villa and a huge courtyard. The scenery was pleasant. In addition to Lu Lin’s parents, there are also a grandfather from the army who looks quite serious and a grandmother with a kind face.
Si Nian has been studying in a boarding school since he was a child. He doesn’t spend much time with his elders, and he is used to being independent. The Lu family has a big business, and some rules are unavoidable. The combination of these two makes Si Nian feel a little uncomfortable. The nature of
Si Nian’s work is quite special. He often needs to work in shifts. The old house is really far away from the hotel. Si Nian can’t help but go out too early and come back too late. Although Lu Rin often picks her up, Lu’s mother doesn’t say anything, and her eyes have turned into sharp knives shooting at her on countless occasions when she meets Si Nian.
Si Nian is still timid and chooses to drive or take public transport most of the time.
In the long run is not the way, a rare only two people sitting together to eat breakfast in the morning, Si Nian put forward a request to go out to live, Lu Lin has several houses in the city, they occasionally have something to live nearby there.
“We’ll come back every weekend. Do you think it’s okay?”
Lu Lin took a noncommittal sip of coffee and asked her, “Don’t you like living here?”
“Not really..” Ssu-nien silently added, “That’s a pretty good guess.”
“If we move out, there will be no one to take care of our three meals a day and all kinds of chores like now. We will be much more tired than now. You have to think clearly.”
Indeed, there are drivers in the old house, nannies and aunts at home, and they have nothing to worry about.
“It’s not tiring for men and women to work together,” Ssu-nien continues. “I really feel that sometimes it’s too disturbing for everyone.”
“Let me think about it.”
Lu Lin thought that there was no movement for more than half a month, and Si Nian could not urge him. Mrs. Lu did not know where she learned that she wanted to move out, and she was very angry about it. The two of them have been “feuding for a long time.” Seeing that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is about to rise from cynicism to a local hot war, Si Nian thinks that there is no hope of moving out, but Lu Lin thinks clearly.
They moved to this top floor with a beautiful loft.
The house is new, Lu Rin that capable and refined assistant gentleman once asked her about the requirements of the house, Si Nian thought Lu Rin would take her to see at least a few, but soon received a property certificate of the house, fortunately, the assistant gentleman’s ability to work is very good, looking for a house completely poked in Si Nian’s aesthetic point.
Si Nian thinks is two people’s common home, how to say oneself also want to pay a part of money, although Lu Lin may not care about her this, but she herself cares. In the end, Si read out about 30% of the house payment, and turned to the other party’s card in front of Lu Rin, and asked every minute if he had received it, until the message finally arrived.
Lu Rin was leisurely leaning on the sofa to watch the computer, letting her play with it over there, and Si Nian looked quite proud to hold up the message to his eyes, and he just chuckled.
It seems to be full of disdain. With the
house, Si Nian began to collect all kinds of cute gadgets everywhere to enrich the house, which looked a little cold and hard. These things were tedious and complicated, but she was always in high spirits when she did them. All
she could think about was that this was her home.
Her home with Lu Lin.
Although Si Nian was a little slow, she also realized that she and Lu Lin seemed to be different from ordinary couples. It
‘s not that it’s bad, but.. That’s great?
It is said that the most suitable state between husband and wife is to respect each other as guests. Si Nian feels that between her and Lu Lin, it seems more appropriate to replace the word “guest” with “ice.”.
Si Nian also did not feel that this is a big problem, there is no emotional basis, just rely on some of each other’s good feelings into marriage, may indeed have to go through such a stage. There is also a very popular genre in
romance novels called marriage before love.
If she hadn’t overheard the conversation.
Lu Lin recently suffered from gastritis at home to recuperate, Si Nian hotel here at the end of the year and more activities, but also take time to take care of him, finally Lu big young master looked at Si Nian more and more black eyes sent a good heart, said he temporarily back to the old house there. Si Nianchang breathed a sigh of relief, saying that the old house would take better care of her diet and daily life than she did. With Mrs. Lu as her own mother, she would only care more about her baby son’s health than her daughter-in-law.
An activity ended earlier than expected, and Si Nian suddenly had half a day more free time. Despite dragging her limp body, she decided to go to the old house to see Lu Rin before the evening activity began. There seemed to be no one at home
that day, and she gently went up to the third floor where she and Lu Rin’s room were, and as soon as she was ready to open the unclosed door, she heard the sound of conversation inside.
She stopped the movement subconsciously.
“Look at your own body.” Mother Lu’s tone doesn’t sound very good. “She doesn’t know how to love you at all. I really don’t know why you’re so determined to marry her. Also, your driver and aunt took care of you when you were young, and if you don’t want to enjoy it, you have to move out and live, so hurry up and move back! After a moment of silence in the
bedroom, Si Nian heard Lu Rin’s voice ringing leisurely, with frivolity and disdain.
Why did you marry her? Why did you move out? With a chuckle, “Don’t you know that the more you don’t like it, the more I like to work against you?”
“I’d like to see how else you can control me.”
“Even at the cost of your marriage?” Lu Mu seemed to be angry and laughed.
“So what?”
…… The door of the
bedroom was flung open, and when Lu’s mother saw her, she was stunned for a moment: “What are you doing here?”
“I,” Ssu-nien tried to smile. “I’ll have a rest and come back to have a look. Er, I, I have something to do at the hotel. It’s too late. I’ll go first. You take good care of Lu Lin. I, I’ll come to see him next time.” Incoherent, stuttering, home as if to visit the hospital, too late to wait for Lu
Mu to make any response to stumble away the way people think of four words
-run away.
Without driving, she walked a long way from the old house to get a taxi.
In order to avoid the chat that the driver uncle might start, she began to close her eyes and sleep as soon as she got on the bus.
She was a little afraid that she would choke up when she spoke, which was too humiliating. What kind of girl can’t find a person like
Lu Lin? Why is she the one?
I seem to have found the answer.
Because she is the one who is most disliked by Lu Mu.
Si Nian closed his eyes and pinched his nails deep into the flesh of his palm.
Adult collapse is doomed to only in the heart, the surface or to deal with the work in an orderly manner
, the evening event is Lin’s annual dinner, Lin is also a big
customer of L, the above has already issued an order. The whole team should play the spirit of one hundred and twenty points and not
make any mistakes.
Lin’s young master has two, Lin Zhihang and Lin Zhixing, Lin Zhihang step by step in
Lin’s do small Lin Zong, Lin Zhixing is a new way into the entertainment industry as an actor, is
also a certain popularity.
Both of them had met several times, the Lin family and the Lu family were family friends, and Lu Rin and they
grew up together in the courtyard.
Lin Zhixing has a lively nature and a sweet mouth. He is a few years younger than Si Nian. Every time he sees her, he gives her all kinds of nicknames, such as Nian Nian’s elder sister, Xiao Nian Nian, and Xiao Si Nian. He says that he is very congenial to Si Nian. At the wedding, he and Tang Xue are the best man and bridesmaid.
“Xiao Nian Nian!” Lin Zhixing saw her from a distance and waved to her. Si Nian reluctantly responded with a polite smile and beckoned him into the hall. He thought it was natural and decent, but he was still found out. So much so that the midway Lin trip slipped out of the banquet hall and ran out to find her and asked her if she was unhappy.
“No.” Ssu-nien lowered his eyes and replied faintly, “Go in quickly. I’m still working.”
“Now!” Lin Zhixing said and held out his hand to her, straight toward her eyelashes, and before she could dodge her eyelashes, she felt a slight touch, and Lin Zhixing had withdrawn his hand.
“Your false eyelashes are falling off. Are you crying?”
“I guess I didn’t put it up properly. Thank you. Just go inside.”
“Oh.”
Before he left, Big Star Lin turned around again and came to her ear. He grabbed Si Nian’s forearm in his hand to prevent her from avoiding it. After a long series of gibberish, Si Nian nodded feebly.
“I know, I know. Go inside.” It was just
an episode, but I never thought it would be on the news the next day. Si Nian looked at his faint side face in the newspaper and Lin Zhixing, who was very close to him, and felt a great pain in his skull. “Oh, this is all very common
. I’m too popular. Don’t worry, what you shot is not clear. No one knows it’s
yours.” After a pause, he added, “If you’re worried about Brother Lin, why
don’t I..”
“Forget it, it’s all right.”
As for what happened yesterday, Lu Lin didn’t say anything, but at the moment a
piece of news came leisurely
: “Can’t wait to find a new tortoise?”? Lin Zhixing is still young, and his mind
is uncertain. Entering the entertainment circle is the nature of playing tickets, which is very unstable. If you want to find
a more stable backer, you might as well turn to his brother.
Si Nian stared at the message for five minutes and replied with an expressionless face.
“No, I think you’re good.”
After a while, another message came in from the phone.
You don’t want to divorce me? Tang Hsueh first said that you are a person who values honesty above everything else
, and that you can’t tolerate purposeful feelings and deception. It seems that what she said is not
accurate.
……
That’s right. She doesn’t know me very well. We’re two of a kind. We’re a perfect match. I’m
very happy to play with you. The life of
two people after that was spent slowly in making each other unhappy.
The original wedding only invited close relatives and friends of both sides, and did not publicize, the outside world in addition to know that Lu Rin is married, the information about Si Nian is well protected, L hotel, in addition to Si Nian a few particularly familiar colleagues, basically no one knows that she is Lu Rin’s wife.
Lu still has a lot of activities held in L, Si Nian occasionally needs to participate in the assistance, Xiao Lu’s female companion one after another, each one has been speculated by the outside world whether it is Xiao Lu’s wife, but with the appearance and clarification of the next fresh face, one by one is self-defeating.
Si Nian has no feelings about this, and can even deal with all kinds of unexpected situations of Lu Lin’s female companion in an orderly way. In front of Lu Lin, he praises others for being “a good match” for him, and he can sleep in the same bed with this person at night.
Until Meng Yan ran reappeared and became Lu Lin’s regular female companion for several activities, rumors from the outside world were once again rampant.
One day, Lu Lin told her to go to Europe on business for a period of time, the next day, Si Nian saw Meng Yan ran’s airport map taken by fans on the news, flying to XXX. After
Lu Rin left, she was summoned back to the old house by Lu’s mother and stayed for a whole afternoon.
Then she found a lawyer and drafted the divorce agreement.
She suddenly felt tired.
“What did Mom say to you?” Lu Rin lit a cigarette and asked lightly, half leaning back on the back of the sofa.
“Say it and you may not believe it.” Ssu-nien smiled softly. “Mom says, no, Mrs. Lu says she’s already accepted me. I hope that now that you and I are married, we can live a good
life. In two years we’ll have another child, and all the contradictions will gradually fade away.”
I also know why you have such a rebellious and even vindictive feeling towards your mother. It’s true that being forced not to play with friends who are “not suitable” for you, not to apply for the university you like, not to apply for the major you like, not to engage in the field you like, and even to follow a “suitable” relationship, is really quite suffocating. If it were me, I would want to resist and oppose.
“So you know what the best option is right now?” Ssu-nien smiles with a simple smile that can be described as harmless to humans and animals. “Divorcing me has made your mother’s expectations come to naught, and has once again hit her with a precise blow.”
Lu Rin looked at her in silence, his eyes so deep that he could not see the end. After a while, he suddenly stood up, bypassed the tea table in front of him, and approached Si Nian step by step.
“I’m really starting to appreciate you, Si Nian.” The man’s tone was full of sarcasm. “Don’t forget to think about me at this time.”
Si Nian retreated step by step in his approach until he leaned against the wall.
In that case, I have to make a good plan for you. How much do you want? Uh? How much money can you continue to live the rest of your life without worrying about food and clothing? Or do you need a long-term meal ticket more than money? A more suitable tortoise than I?
“I asked a friend to draft the divorce agreement. Take a closer look.” Ssu-nien steadied his mind and tried to deal with the matter in a businesslike tone. “You don’t have to worry that I’m going to open my mouth, and don’t think I’m going to ask for nothing.”
Sinian paused. “But you must give me what I want. I won’t give in.”
In her eyes, Lu Lin reached out and picked up the divorce agreement on the tea table, and the first page clearly indicated the intention of property division.
Si Nian’s voice rang in his ear: “I only want one thing, and that is this house.”
“Get out of here, please.”
Harsh words are very cool, but in fact, it was Si Nian who came out of Canjing’s apartment first that night.
When Mingming came out of home a few hours ago, her mother was fine. Not long after Si Nian left, Ms. Chen, who was humming a ditty and washing dishes in the kitchen, was caught off guard and fainted.
Si Nian’s father quickly called an ambulance. Shortly after Ms. Chen was sent to the hospital, she went into the operating room. Si Nian’s father was really uneasy outside the operating room. He thought about it and called his daughter in the middle of the night.
Lu Lin saw the opposite woman answered the phone instantly changed face, almost trembling to grab the handbag beside him, the slippers on his feet did not change to rush to open the door, with the security door was vigorously thrown on the huge crash, Lu Lin just came to his senses, grabbed the car keys to follow up.
Arriving at the garage, Si Nian’s car was already out of the basement. By the time the two cars arrived at the hospital one after the other, Ssu-nien’s mother had already finished her operation and was sent to
the ICU. Ssu-nien stumbled over and rushed over. After a few words of communication with Ssu-nien’s father, she began to
cry, saying, “What should I do? Ms. Chen is most afraid of pain.” How painful it must be,
whoo, whoo..
Ssu-nien’s father patted his daughter on the back and waved to Lu Lin, who was a few steps away. “Little Lu
is here, too.”
“Dad.” Lu Lin walked over and said, “I already contacted Director Meng on the way here. Don
‘t worry.”
Lu Lin in the heart actually some can not say the taste, Si Nian is still crying, trying to suppress
the cry but seems to hit in his heart.
Miraculously, after being married for so long, he seemed to have never seen Si Nian’s tears. When she
works, she is polite and decent, and her face is always full of smiles that make people feel like spring breeze. Occasionally
, the small expressions of dissatisfaction and even disgust that he catches also make her very vivid.
Later, when she got married, she was happy because of a little thing, fighting wits and courage
with Mrs. Lu, reluctantly playing the role of a good daughter-in-law on some big occasions in the family, and even
knowing everything in the end, tit for tat with herself, showing her pawns, in short. It shouldn
‘t be as fragile as a piece of paper now.
Lu Lin is rarely at a loss like this. While continuing to pat his daughter on the back
, Si Nien’s father motioned for Lu Lin to come closer. “Little Lu, go and buy Nien Nien a bag of XX
candy.”
“XX Sugar?”
Lu Lin wondered why he was going to buy sugar now, but he went obediently. Before he entered the elevator, he looked back, and Si Nian’s shoulders were still shaking slightly.
He quickly bought back the sugar, sugar is very cheap, one by one there is no independent packaging, colorful in the packaging bag, Lu Lin I do not know why always feel some familiar. Ssu-nien’s father took it, tore a small hole in it and handed it to Ssu-nien, who was sitting in a chair with his head down. He turned around and patted him on the shoulder. “Come on, go outside with Dad and smoke a cigarette.” When he
left, he saw that Si Nian took out a small purple ball from it and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Nien-nien has been very good since she was a child. She seldom cries, but when she cries, she can’t stop.” On a bench in the hospital garden, Ssu-nien’s father lights a cigarette but doesn’t smoke. “Once I bought her this candy, and after eating it, she stopped crying immediately. From then on, whenever I felt sad about Ssu-nien, I bought her this candy, hoping that when she finished eating, she would forget all the unhappy things and stop crying.”
“We read it aloud. It’s easy to coax.”
Lu Rin took a deep puff of smoke and felt a little blocked in his heart.
He finally remembered why he thought the candy looked familiar. At home in Canjing Garden, the pantry he had inadvertently opened, the occasional bags scattered on the tea table, and the bedside table seemed to have seen it all.
“Originally I didn’t want to marry you. Even though she was the daughter of our small family, she was our baby from childhood to adulthood, and I was always worried that she wouldn’t be able to fit in with your Lu family and would be bullied.” “But Nien-nien likes you very much. After
you got married, she often said that you were very kind to her, that you took good care of her, that you spoke up for her when your mother was critical of her, and that you were willing to move out so that she could live comfortably.” The smoke in
Lu Rin’s hand burned quietly, and he could not even digest the contents of the words.
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Ssu-nien’s father stood up and patted him on the shoulder. “Just treat her sincerely. She can feel it.”
Sincerely, it feels like a slap in the face.
Si Nian’s father went upstairs first, and Lu Rin sat on the bench, the smoke in his hand gradually burning to the end and going out little by little.
Lu Lin, Lu Lin, what are you doing.
He closed his eyes feebly. Shortly after Ms.
Chen recovered, Lu Lin and Si Nian went through the divorce formalities. The
weather was fine and cloudless that day, and the long-lost sunshine poured back into the city which had been overcast and rainy for a long time.
“I told you, I just want that house.” The two men stood at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Ssu-nien smoothed her hair, which was ruffled by the wind. “You’ve given me too much. I can’t afford it.”
“You deserve it.” Lu Lin looked down at her and smiled. “I don’t want people to say I’m so stingy.” Alas. Si Nian shook his head. “No.”
“Sorry.”
Si Nian raised his head in surprise. “What?”
“I’m sorry,” Lu Lin paused. “I’m sorry for a lot of things.”
“Now say this..” Ssu-nien smiled and lowered his head. “Forget it.”
It seemed to be the rustling sound of pulling out a pocket, and then a transparent
rectangular bag appeared in front of Si Nian’s eyes, in which small balls of various colors stained with white granulated sugar rolled
around.
“Get to know each other again.” Lu Lin handed her the candy and said, “If you promise, accept it.”
Although Si Nian has always felt that it is ridiculous to be friends after breaking up, but it is not necessary to throw away this new
understanding, after all, the future work still can not avoid to meet
often, she does not want to wear small shoes because of this. Miss Si Nian, a sober beater in the
world.
“Good.”
7
One year later. The news that
Lu Lin’s flight was hit by a strong storm and lost contact was told by Tang Xue on the phone in the middle of the night
. Tang Xue was a stewardess. When she was told the news, the news had not been reported yet. Si Nian hung up the phone and felt his hand trembling slightly. A lot of things have happened
this year.
She seemed to see Lu Rin more often than before.
Obviously there is a permanent old house, and there are several houses in the city, but it is like a homeless
person, always booking rooms, in addition to flying around on business, basically contracted
the VIP suite on the 28th floor. The relationship between the
two people seems to be in accordance with the agreement, re-recognize and tacitly return to
the time when they were only working partners before they were together, after all, Lu is L.
The big customer is Party a, who can’t afford to be offended, and Si Nian doesn’t want to make trouble so much that he doesn’t even contact each other at work
.
After all, it’s too childish for adults. It was
also because of this that she came to the conclusion that the root cause of Lu Lin’s gastritis, which often broke out and did not heal for a long time
, was entirely his own doing.
Just Si Nian ran into the scene of drunkenness no less than three times a week.
Lu Rin’s drinking capacity and wine taste are not bad, drink too much is at most red cheeks, feet floating
, occasionally vomit, Si Nian every time he sees him walk into the hotel like this, confirm that he returned to the VIP
room, will call the restaurant for a sobering soup. Then ask the waiter to send it
in. It
is only out of respect for the leaders of Party A and the humanistic care of the hotel employees.
As a result, in order to “reciprocate,” Lu Lin also expressed the same special concern to her, and when he had no time to prepare, he would arrange for an assistant.
Often, the day before, she sent a message to her circle of friends or micro-blog about what food she missed, and the next day, Su Tezhu would send it over with various excuses.
It’s like that day when she just came out of a long meeting, pressed the elevator to go to the coffee shop to buy black coffee to clear her head for another meeting 40 minutes later, prepared a sandwich in time for lunch, and then walked into the coffee shop to see the person sitting directly opposite the door.
Oh, the smart and elegant assistant.
“Hello, Su Tezhu.” Ssu-nien smiled politely. “What are you doing here?”
“There will be preparations for a press conference in the near future.” The man stretched out his hand and pulled a large bag on the table. The big letter “G” stood out conspicuously. “I just happened to pass by G’s house. It was convenient.”
She just posted it in the circle of friends yesterday.
“Did Mr. Lu ask you to buy it?” Si Nian pushed the bag back. “I appreciate it, but I don’t need it. Thank you.”
“Miss Si, it’s just something to eat.”
“That’s what you said last time, and last time, last time, I said, no.” The man
opposite did not speak.
Si Nian has a headache.
Si Nian suddenly realized that his tone seemed to be somewhat bad, the opposite person was Lu Rin’s assistant, even if she had more opinions about Lu Rin, she should not vent to innocent people. She slowed her tone. “Please tell him that as a friend, you really don’t have to do this.”
I don’t know if the assistant told me that I had a dinner with Lu in the evening. It was euphemistically called the sublimation of feelings between the two sides. In fact, it was expected that Lu could throw more money at L next year. Si Nian was also arranged to attend.
Lu Lin didn’t look very well, but he was still poured a lot of cups during the dinner. As soon as Si Nian’s leader came back from a toast, he pushed Si Nian forward and said, “Come on, Si Nian, a toast to Lu.” With a sigh,
Si Nien took two glasses of wine, one red and one white, and handed over the white one with a bright smile on his face. “There’s not much wine in General Lu’s glass. Why don’t you drink the one I poured?”
Lu Lin lowered her eyes and glanced at the overflowing cup in her hand. “Manager Si is not going to let me go.”
Si Nian shrugged his shoulders.
The two sides toasted, the man in front of him drank the liquid in the cup, and then looked at her eyes flashed a trace of consternation.
Si Nian naturally took the cup, echoed the sentence that General Manager Lu was a good drinker and flashed back to his seat.
With such a large cup of cold boiled water, you can go to the toilet to drain the water later.
Dinner time has been very late, Lu Rin back to the room, Si Nian also in the dressing room to change the regular clothes ready to go home. Before she left, the slightly pale face of Lu Lin on the dining table suddenly appeared in her mind. She thought for a moment and then called the restaurant. Standing at the door of the VIP suite with a
dinner plate, Si Nian began to regret for no reason. It shouldn
‘t be like this. At least, she shouldn’t have sent it.
The door opened and Lu Rin was wearing a bathrobe with wet hair. See her a moment of some consternation, Si Nian motioned to the hand of the plate, Lu Rin to the side of the retreat, to make way for her.
Si Nian’s movements were a little stagnant. What she meant was to ask you to take what I had in my hand, and then we said good night to each other, and then goodbye.
Forget it, don’t argue with the patient.
“I will go abroad tomorrow and return on the 20th.” Lu Lin picked up another white towel from the sofa to wipe his hair. “In addition, the conference on the 21st needs to strengthen security.”
Si Nian did not expect that he would suddenly start talking about business at this time. He immediately swallowed the words he had tried to ask him about his health, and replaced them with a report: “We have already received the notice, and we will arrange it properly.” After a pause, she couldn’t resist asking, “What’s the matter?”
Lu Lin stopped slightly as he wiped his hair and looked at her.
“I’m sorry, I just asked curiously. You don’t have to answer me. After you eat the soup, go to bed early. I won’t bother you.”
Lu Lin did not answer her, reached out and stroked her forehead, and her body seemed to tremble slightly.
“Are you okay?” Ssu-nien unconsciously took two steps forward, trying to hold his hand and stopping in midair. “What’s wrong?”
Si Nian was ready to hear the answer-nothing. After all, he was like this before.
“I have a headache and an upset stomach.” Lu Lin took two steps in her direction, put his arm on Si Nian’s hand, and “forced” her to hold him.
“Will you stay with me for a while? Just for a while.”
……
Si Nian was speechless: “Are you showing weakness to me?”
“Yes.”
“You are like this..” Dejected, Ssu-nien followed his movements and helped him sit down on the sofa. “Forget it. I won’t argue with you.”
The soup was still on the tea table by the window, and Si Nian, worried that it would get cold, turned and went that way.
Lu Rin stroked the forehead of the hand suddenly fell down, and then grabbed Si Nian’s hand.
Si Nian froze for a moment.
“Just a moment.” “I’ll bring you the soup. It’s getting cold.”
“Oh.”
A promise is a promise, but the hand is not released in time. It’s not
like Ssu-nien couldn’t get it off, but he still held it for a few seconds, closed his eyes, and said
, “Let go.”
“Si Nian, when I come back, I have something to say.” After
returning, Si Nian did not sleep well all night, lying in the room
where she and Lu Lin had stayed together, tossing and turning.
I feel that the direction is getting more and more wrong. I haven’t seen Lu Rin for
many days, and I haven’t got any news about him.
Until I received a phone call from Tang Xue.
Tang Xue let her wait for the news at home, thinking over and over again, Si Nian still put on his coat and went out.
As soon as she stepped into the airport hall, Tang Xue saw her at a glance.
“How’s it going?”
“No news yet, but don’t worry. The storm is weakening. It will
be all right.” Si Nian sat down on the seat in the airport lobby. He didn’t feel it all the way just now, but now
he felt his feet hurt. He looked down and saw that his heels were already bleeding
.
…… Do evil. I don’t know how long I
waited, but the radio at the airport finally rang.
“XX crew, please note that the flight from XX to XX has landed successfully.
All passengers and crew on board are injured. Please lead the ambulance to
the apron immediately.”
It’s okay.
Exit place, familiar figure gradually appeared, forehead and chin have obvious trauma
, left hand seems to have some injuries, covering a piece of white gauze, faintly red
.
He approached slowly, and the moment he saw Si Nian, he was obviously stunned.
The next second, the huge momentum made Si Nian almost lose his footing.
Si Nian slowly stretched out his hand and wrapped it around the back of the man in front of him. He felt a slight tremor
and patted him: “It’s all right, it’s all right.”
But he seemed to feel an inaudible sob. After
running all night, the next day’s work had to go on as usual.
The press conference was in the afternoon, and Si Nian was able to sleep late. When she arrived in the hall to help prepare, fifteen minutes before the start, Lu’s staff entered. Although Lu Lin’s face was still injured, he had recovered mentally. He was tall and straight in a neatly tailored black suit.
“General Manager Lu is really handsome.” – Routine rainbow fart time
from colleagues.
Although everything went in an orderly way, I don’t know if it was because of last night’s shock, Si Nian always felt a little uneasy, and when she saw that the meeting was about to end and she was ready to leave, her heart was about to return to its original position. The
accident is at this moment.
Si Nian swore that she really had no time to think about anything, and the moment she saw the man’s movements, she had rushed up and blocked in front of Lu Rin. “If you want to throw something, tomatoes or rotten vegetable leaves don’t smell good. What kind of rotten eggs do you throw?” Asks Si Nian in the
bathroom, pulling something sticky from his hair indignantly. Close to smell the things on the hands, is still a strong sense of nausea. The person who
intended to commit murder had been caught, and the scene had been restored to order. It was nothing more than a tangle with Lu’s business. Si Nian was too lazy to delve into anything. At the moment, for her, nothing could compare with taking a bath and throwing the clothes on her body as far as possible.
The leader had granted leave, but she really didn’t have the courage to go out like that and dilly-dally in the toilet until now. Just walked out of the bathroom door, the wrist was directly caught and quickly dragged her to the direction of the elevator
, Si Nian wanted to break free, but was in front of the man can not tell where
the anger suppressed to speed up the pace.
Swipe the card and open the door.
Lu Lin threw her in with one hand and pushed open the bathroom door. “Go in, take a shower, and change clothes
.”
“No, I’m going home..”
“Get in! Go!”
“I don’t have a change of clothes here, I..”
Lu Lin frowned and took out a paper bag from the sofa next to her and stuffed it into her bosom. He
turned her around and pushed her in.
Si Nian stayed in the bathroom for a long time, until Lu Lin finally knocked on the door.
“Come out.”
Si Nian looked at himself in front of the mirror and lost his good tone completely outside the door. “Did you do that on purpose
?”? Let me go out in this? Are you sick or am I sick?
“Come out.”
……
“No, I’m going in.” “!” Ssu-nien was very disdainful. “Come in if you can.”
She seems to have forgotten that this is someone else’s room.
The next second, the bathroom door was opened.
Clothes are not to say that there is anything shameful, very beautiful, very luxurious, very delicate
. But it was wrong because it was an evening dress. Should she wear an evening dress and go to the door of the hotel to call a taxi to go home in front of so many people coming and going in the hotel
? I’m afraid
she will be arrested as a neuropathy.
“It fits.” Lu Lin looked at him and walked over step by step. “Accompany me to Lu
‘s dinner tonight.”
“Why?”
From the beginning of the agreement to get to know each other again, this is getting more and more wrong, and from
last night to just now, both of them seem to be holding back an emotion, and at this moment they can’t wait to need
an outlet to vent.
“Si Nian, come back to me.”
“Lu Lin, this isn’t funny.” Si Nian’s voice cooled. “I’m leaving.”
Walking to the door, there was a sound of footsteps behind her, her warm body covered her back
, and a pair of arms around her waist tightly encircled her.
Si Nian did not move, nor did Lu Lin.
After a while, Si Nian felt the warm breath on her shoulder, and Lu Rin’s deep voice was almost close to her ear.
“Your father said that you were particularly easy to coax, and that a bag of candy could make you feel no longer sad, as long as you were sincere.” Lu Lin’s voice paused. “On the day of the divorce, I gave you that bag of candy in the hope that you would forget all your previous unhappiness. We started from knowing each other as strangers and started over.”
“But I also know that my mistakes can’t be erased by a bag of sugar, so I’ve been around you all year to let you see and pay attention to them.”
“I told myself not to worry, but to approach you again slowly, so that you could see my sincerity and be willing to accept my day again.”
“So you’re still..” Si Nian sighed a little.
“But I didn’t expect that I would almost never see you again.” Lu Lin’s arms tightened. “You don’t know that when I walked out of the airport exit, the first person I saw was you. I really felt that I had survived the disaster.”
“I know you don’t believe me.” Lu Lin’s voice paused. “Give me time, and I’ll show you the answer to this question.”
From last night to today, two soul-stirring as if through the plunder, but also in the heart of Si Nian set off a storm.
If this person will never appear again.
Si Nian closed her eyes, and after a long silence, she said her first words. “Let’s prepare the dinner first. It’s going to be late.”
Perhaps, love is, you will always be soft to a person.
Little Fan Wai:
About “Missing”
The first time Lu Lin got an impression of the name Si Nian was through Su Zhe, the capable and refined assistant in Si Nian’s mouth
.
The reason was that he overheard a phone call from Su Zhe, in which he
said “miss” 17 times, but the content seemed to be talking about business.
Lu Lin was a little confused, and at lunch he seemed to mention it unintentionally: “Where was my
girlfriend just now?” A rare blankness appeared on
Su Tezhu’s face. He swallowed the rice in his mouth and then said slowly,
“How could General Manager Lu ask that?”
“I said I missed her more than a dozen times in one phone call,” says Lu Lin with a half-laugh. “I didn’t see
it, Su Zhe. So sticky?”
Su Tezhu’s brain got stuck for a moment and smiled politely: “No, Mr. Lu.
I was just confirming the preparations for the next few banquets with the L Hotel. The contact person is Si Nian, the department manager of the L
Hotel.”
After pausing for a moment, he went on to add, “The driver’s driver is the one who recites the sutras.” Si Nian of the
hotel suddenly sneezed.
Soon, the slimy Miss came to report to him with a respectful.
So that’s it. Miss seems to be different from the girls
he. His female companions all have bird stomachs, and when the food is brought to him, he takes a bite on the top of the fork and says he’s full. Sometimes he’s a little dispirited, and when he looks around unintentionally, he sees Miss Miss coming to the restaurant to replenish her energy.
Her cheeks were so full that she could quickly finish the high-piled plate the chef handed her. That time he happened to pass behind her and heard the chef in the bar reminding her rather helplessly: “Eat less. Do you know how many calories there are in this plate?” Miss
trying to swallow the last bite of food
Lu Lin seemed to be able to see the cook’s eyes rolling in his heart.
Lu Lin did not realize that after he returned to his seat, there was still a smile on his lips, until the female companion opposite asked him with interest if he had encountered anything interesting.
“No.” Lu Lin smiled. “Let’s eat.”
About the photo
Si Nian was lying on Lu Lin’s lap to brush the circle of friends. When he saw one of them, he suddenly exclaimed and sat up. The strength and speed hit Mr. Lu’s chin violently, who was about to reach for the remote control.
“What for?!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Si Nian flattered and reached out to rub it for him. With his other hand, he quickly moved to the position in the circle of friends. “Look, look, this is Tang Xue’s back, isn’t it?”
“Kind of like,” Lu Lin squinted. “What’s all the fuss about. Wait, whose circle of friends is this?
“The journey to Lin!” Si Nien gnashed his teeth and said, “Well, you didn’t tell me when we got together.”
Lu Rin raised his eyebrows, noncommittal about her attitude of paying too much attention to other people’s emotional life, but her vague side face and clear trip to Lin in the magazine of that year suddenly appeared in his mind.
But in view of the subsequent lethality of the incident, he wanted to know what had happened, but he was afraid to mention it.
“You know, this guy Lin Chih-hsing is really not a thing. That year when he pestered me to ask for Tang Hsueh’s contact information, my elder sister called me short and long, and I relented and gave it to him. The result was that he was photographed in a magazine like that. I went to find him and he didn’t take it seriously. He didn’t care whether I was alive or dead.
“Well, oh.” Mr. Lu nodded approvingly. “Yes, it’s not a thing.”
About Xinxin
: “If we have a child, let’s call it Xinxin.”
Why? Is there a moral?
“So that together you are the thoughts of my heart.”
……
Si Nian turned around in silence. “I beg you to see less of this mess.”
