When Xiao Zheng returned home, it was already twelve o'clock at night. Opening the door, a light came on in the living room, which Lin Huayin left for him. Just like what Xiao Zheng said when he first came to the Lin family, he hoped that no matter how late he came home, there would be a light left for him. Lin Huayin remembered it, and after slowly adapting to Xiao Zheng's existence, she left a light for him every night.
The lights in Ye Yuhua's room have been turned off. Presumably a woman like her who has been a monk for twenty years is not in the habit of staying up late. After turning off the lights, Xiao Zheng went straight upstairs. I found that Lin Huayin, who was used to going to bed around one o'clock, had already fallen asleep. Immediately, I took a shower quietly, and then climbed into the soft big bed.
But he did not sleep directly. Instead, he quietly climbed to the head of the bed, took a few glances at Lin Huayin, who was sleeping on his side, and asked cautiously: "Are you asleep?"
"No." Lin Huayin, who was lying on his side, responded lightly, with a hint of tiredness in his tone, but not sleepiness.
"Give you a gift." Xiao Zheng secretly took out an exquisite small gift box and handed it to Lin Huayin.
"What," Lin Huayin turned over slightly and glanced at the gift box in Xiao Zheng's palm.
"Open it and see for yourself." Xiao Zheng said mysteriously.
Lin Huayin frowned slightly, but after all, she did not reject Xiao Zheng's kindness. She took the gift box and untied the pink cassette. As soon as he opened it, his eyes were dazzled by the light inside the box.
Inside the box is nothing else but a diamond-encrusted necklace. It has an exquisite appearance and is filled with a noble atmosphere. The tiny diamonds are set on the necklace, like bright stars, shining with dazzling light. Especially under the illumination of the warm bedside lamp, it looks even more beautiful and precious.
Lin Huayin only glanced at it, and her heart palpitated slightly. An indescribable thought was flowing through my body, and I didn't know whether to accept it or not.
She is not an ordinary woman, nor is she a blind and shallow woman. She could see that this necklace was not priceless, but it was definitely not something that ordinary people could afford or be willing to buy. Especially when she knew that Xiao Zheng could barely earn ten thousand a month. This is the income after promotion and salary increase. Buying this necklace is no less than letting him buy a private car that can stand out among the pearls. Extremely difficult.
"What do you mean?" Lin Huayin asked calmly. His tone softened significantly.
She doesn't care about diamond necklaces, and she has no habit of wearing jewelry. In her cabinet, she has no less than ten diamond necklaces like this, and even more expensive and rare necklaces. Even if Lin Xiaozhu stole one or two, she might not be able to find out. But the one in front of me was given by Xiao Zheng. A gift from a man who broke into her life, broke her tranquility, and no longer resented or rejected her.
"Today is your birthday." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "I have been thinking about it for a long time and don't know what to give. But I heard a saying that diamonds are a woman's best friend. So I picked a necklace. I hope you will like it."
"I don't need friends. I don't usually wear a necklace." Lin Huayin said lukewarmly. "There is no need for you to spend this wasted money."
"After all, it's the first birthday I've known you on." Xiao Zheng, already used to Lin Huayin's cold demeanor, said with a smile. "Just keep it as a souvenir."
Lin Huayin pursed his lips and finally swallowed the words that reached his lips. He put away the gift box and placed it on the bedside table casually. He slowly lay down and said calmly: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Xiao Zheng smiled and asked again. "By the way, how was your chat with Auntie tonight?"
"What are you talking about?" Lin Huayin asked.
"No chat," Xiao Zheng said regretfully. "With such a great opportunity, why not try to untie the knot in your heart? After all, she is the mother who brought you into this world."
"I have no knots in my heart." Lin Huayin said indifferently.
"But she is always your mother..." Xiao Zheng said helplessly. "Are you going to boycott her for the rest of your life?"
"I'm sleepy." Lin Huayin said calmly, not wanting to continue this topic.
Xiao Zheng sighed softly in his heart, wondering where there could be such hatred between mother and daughter. For him, having a living mother of flesh and blood is such a luxury, even a whimsical thing. Lin Huayin clearly has a perfect mother, but she just doesn't want to recognize her. It's really a pity.
But Xiao Zheng is always an outsider, not to mention that his relationship with Lin Huayin is quite delicate. Even if he really marries Lin Huayin and becomes the son-in-law of the old Lin family, it is really not suitable for him to get too involved in the conflict between mother and daughter. He didn't ask any more questions at the moment, hugged the pillow and came to the end of the bed, saying softly: "Good night."
…
Ye Yuhua gets up on time at four o'clock in the morning, without the need for an alarm clock or anyone else calling her. She has developed this habit for twenty years. From the first day she became a monk, she started the habit of going to bed at eight o'clock in the evening and getting up at four o'clock in the morning.
After getting up, Ye Yuhua dressed and washed slowly, then opened the door, picked up the linen duffel bag and went out.
She was originally planning to leave Mingzhu quietly and return to the nunnery where she had lived for twenty years, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Xiao Zheng, neatly dressed and guarding the living room.
"Good morning, auntie." Xiao Zheng greeted Ye Yuhua with a smile, and did not try to persuade Ye Yuhua to stay. He just asked softly. "You're ready to go,"
"Yeah." Ye Yuhua smiled and nodded.
"Then I'll see you off." Xiao Zheng knew that no one could change Ye Yuhua's decision.
Ye Yuhua didn't refuse, turned around and walked out of the Lin family.
The sky is full of stars and the moon is bright, and the breeze is refreshing and refreshing. Xiao Zheng has not enjoyed the moist air of the morning for a long time. I couldn't help but take a deep breath and exclaimed: "It's so comfortable."
Ye Yuhua smiled and said: "If you go to bed early at night, you can smell the first breath of air before dawn every day."
Xiao Zheng said awkwardly: "It's too early and I really can't sleep."
"When your mind is calm, you can do anything." Ye Yuhua said with a smile.
Xiao Zheng scratched his head and said, "I can't calm down in the short term even if I think about it."
Ye Yuhua smiled slightly and said, "You can always be calm."
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng accepted the teaching with an open mind and was not proud at all.
In fact, Xiao Zheng doesn't like elders who rely on their elders. Except for women with great wisdom like Ye Yuhua. He may not be able to understand some of what Ye Yuhua said for the time being, but he believes that sooner or later, he will fully understand it.
"Auntie, I know there is a porridge shop outside the community. The millet porridge is very delicious. I will take you there to have a bowl," Xiao Zheng suggested.
"I won't eat anymore." Ye Yuhua smiled and shook his head.
"Ah," Xiao Zheng said helplessly. "The fastest it will take you to return to Yanjing is a few hours. It's hard to find suitable meals for you on the way."
"Fasting makes people sober and can see people and things more clearly." Ye Yuhua said with a smile.
Xiao Zheng scratched his head and said, "Then I will take you directly to the airport."
"Go to the train station." Ye Yuhua said with a smile.
"Take the train," Xiao Zheng said unexpectedly. "With so many people on the train, will it be inconvenient?"
"Convenient." Ye Yuhua said. "It's convenient for others, and it's convenient for me too."
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Then I'll drive you to the train station."
"No need." Ye Yuhua shook his head and said. "I bought a ticket for ten o'clock in the morning. I walked there and was just in time."
"Go over there," Xiao Zheng collapsed.
"Azheng, you are very smart and capable. But Auntie hopes you will learn not to argue." Ye Yuhua did not answer Xiao Zheng's question. Instead, he took out a string of Buddhist beads from his sleeve and said gently. "Auntie doesn't have anything good. This string of Buddhist beads has been with Auntie for twenty years, so it's just a meeting gift for you. Auntie also wants to give you a message. There is only one Buddhist bead between fighting and not fighting."
It will break out tomorrow~
