The happy time is always short-lived. When the clock strikes eight o'clock, it seems to indicate that the 'Last Supper' is about to end.
Qiao Wan glanced at the watch on her wrist, stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back first. You young people can have fun."
Before I could say the words "I" I would like to send you, my mother spoke before me.
"I'll give it to you." My mother has the same hair style as Qiao Wan. She wears a black chiffon mid-sleeve top and a hip-hugging midi skirt. She looks casual and capable.
Qiao Wan smiled knowingly, "Okay."
Two women of similar age, with the same elegance, walked out one behind the other, which made me feel inexplicably restless.
On the balcony, the three men were still chatting, but they had changed several topics.
Xuanxuan patted me on the shoulder: "Why are you so stunned? It's a flop!"
I opened it casually without even looking at it, dragging my chin and wondering if my mother would say something to Qiao Wan.
Xuanxuan was so shocked that she screamed in my ear: "Niu Niu! Hahaha, kill them all, pay for the money!"
Xuanxuan made a move to grab the RMB in front of Jian Xin, but Jian Xin quickly grabbed the money and said, "This is his bet, he should pay for it."
"Aren't you two boyfriends and girlfriends? Why are you so clear about it?" Xuanxuan doesn't care. There is no difference between taking Director Qin's and Jian Xin's, as long as they are in her hands.
Director Qin smiled helplessly, took out two bright-colored Mao Zedong pictures from his wallet and handed them to Xuanxuan.
"My boyfriend is better!" Jian Xin grabbed Director Qin's arm lovingly. If it weren't for Director Qin's embarrassed expression, she would have thought they were a couple.
At 8:10, my mother came back from outside, and the sound of closing the door alerted the men on the balcony.
I asked my mother: "Where did you send it to Aunt Wan? It took so long?" I wanted to know if she had said anything to Qiao Wan.
My mother replied calmly: "Send it to the car."
Liang Sheng and the others returned to the living room one after another. Seeing that Qiao Wan was not there, they said to the people at the card game: "Let's go back too."
My parents didn't offer any symbolic attempts to persuade me to stay, so I had no choice but to get up and get a coat, "I'll take you out."
I looked back at my parents and asked for their opinions. They didn't object, so I calmly followed everyone out.
Several people chatted as they went downstairs, and did not leave immediately after exiting the unit door. Xuanxuan turned around and asked me, "Yanyan, when are you going to take a vacation?"
"Huh?" I was a little confused.
"Didn't we agree to go play together? You must have forgotten it, right?" Xuanxuan pouted unhappily.
I haven't forgotten it, but if she didn't, I would never bring it up. We did make an appointment to travel to a city together, but I had just promised my parents.
"The company has been a little busy recently, let's wait for a while." In desperation, we had to slow down the strategy.
"Where are you going, can you take me with you?" Jian Xin raised her eyebrows, her beautiful pupils glowing amber, looking at us expectantly.
Chu Jin leaned on Xuanxuan and joked: "You have to ask your boyfriend about this. If he says it's okay, it's okay."
Jian Xin immediately turned her gaze to the face of the absent Director Qin. Director Qin shrugged, "Can I say no?"
Jian Xin snapped her fingers, "That's it! Call me when the time comes. You can go anywhere."
Xuanxuan and Chu Jin drove away first, Jian Xin followed and started the engine. Director Qin consciously got into her passenger seat this time. Liang Sheng hesitated, as if he had something to say to me, and hesitated for a while before finally Waved to Jian Xin: "You two go ahead, I'll take a taxi back in a while."
"Tsk, tsk, you will really create a chance for yourself to be alone!" Jian Xin was speechless, teased Liang Sheng, and waved to us.
Director Qin said a little worriedly: "You have drank a lot, can you open it?"
"If you're afraid, just put on your seat belt!" The royal blue Porsche slowly drove into the night and escaped our sight.
Liang Sheng and I were the only two people left on the dark tree-lined path.
Liang Sheng stood in the shadows, staring at me with his hands in his pockets, which made me panic, so I could only say calmly: "I'll take you out to take a taxi."
I turned around, took a step, and found that he didn't follow me at all. He was still standing where he was. I didn't even want to move away and looked at him.
After a moment of silence, Liang Sheng finally spoke: "Yanyan, no matter what decision you make, I understand you. But I still want to ask you, can you wait for me?"
He suddenly said these words, which caught me off guard, and made my already chaotic heart even more uneasy. I moved my lips and asked, "What are you waiting for?"
"Didn't you hear what your dad said to me last time?" Liang Sheng looked at me and reminded me deliberately, "That time when he was in my office on the first day after he woke up."
It turns out that he knew everything. Since he knew that I heard everything, why did he wait until now to talk to me. If there was something, as long as I didn't take the initiative to ask, he would always just pretend that it never happened.
"I don't understand what you mean." I simply shook my head and said I didn't know.
Liang Sheng lowered his head, then raised it again, his eyes as deep as ink, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. As long as you give me some time, I will definitely make your parents agree with us."
Is this a promise? What if he can't do it
I said coldly, "How long?"
"One month." Liang Sheng answered almost affirmatively.
I tried hard to control my emotions, took a deep breath without leaving any trace, and then said: "If you fail after one month, does it mean that there is no possibility for the two of us anymore."
"." He fell silent.
"So, I have completely left this feeling in your hands?" I looked at him, trying to get some relief from his eyes.
But his eyes were dim, leaving me unable to see any hope. I'm afraid even he himself is betting.
I sighed and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Then let's not meet each other for a month. I will wait for you, but the period will not be too long."
Liang Sheng opened her thin lips and wanted to explain something. It took a long time before she uttered one word: "Yeah."
"Okay, let me take you out." I walked in front quietly. I paused for a while before slight footsteps sounded behind me. I could feel that Liang Sheng was following me.
When the tree-lined avenue was about to turn into a bright main road, the pace behind me suddenly quickened, and then I was hugged tightly into someone's arms.
The familiar smell mixed with the mellow masculine breath came out, all spraying on the sensitive skin of my neck. His chin inadvertently rubbed against my ear, and his shallow voice was like a sweet violin, soothing: " Yanyan, there are some things I won’t say, just because I don’t want you to be distracted, please believe me, I will give you all the good things, with all my wisdom and life.”
I trust him, and it is precisely because of this trust that I won’t ask many things as long as he doesn’t mention them. I used to enjoy this feeling of tacit understanding, which would make me feel at ease and happy inexplicably; but now my body is almost immune to this 'sedative', and I urgently need more direct medicine to cure my panic.
I turned around, faced him seriously, and said word by word: "Liang Sheng, I want you to know that what I want more is to fight side by side with you, rather than just waiting for you to win all the kingdoms for me. .”
Liang Sheng fell silent, his dark pupils sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness. He looked at me quietly for a while, with a smile on his face. He touched my face from behind and said, "You think you are Hua Mulan."
I didn't respond, but my feelings were so strong that he actually said such a nonsensical sentence.
Seeing that I was speechless, Liang Sheng smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. Go back quickly. Don't let your parents worry."
"Yeah." I nodded, took a step back, and was about to turn around, wondering, while I was complaining that he was hiding something from me, wasn't I also hiding my own feelings? So I turned back and said to him: "Can you go check and find out what is the connection between your father and my grandfather?"
Liang Shengjun frowned slightly and said warily: "Did your father tell you something?"
I didn't nod or shake my head. I avoided his question and continued: "Maybe if you know the grudges of the previous generation, many things can be solved easily."
Liang Sheng's eyes became dark, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "I told you, these things are not something you can figure out with your IQ."
"Go back quickly. I'll check what you said." He bowed his head and kissed me on the lips.
