Bai Ziren had a strange dream. In the dream, she was still very young. Her father took her by the hand to buy ice cream at the train station. After buying the ice cream, her father left. She waited on the spot for more than an hour, and finally A man with a blurred face came, took her hand, and took her home. His voice was very gentle, and his palms were big and warm. She followed him for a while, jumping and jumping happily.
This man is better than Dad.
The sweet dream came to an abrupt end, she was woken up by the heat, and only when she opened her eyes did she realize what was going on, she was sleeping on a sofa chair, her coat was gone, her body was covered with a moderately thick quilt, I was also hugging a square pillow, and because the indoor heating was sufficient, it was hot from head to sole of the feet.
After two seconds of confusion, her eyes stayed on the person behind the desk. He was looking at his mobile phone. On the desk was the night light she bought. He had already moved it over and lit it while charging. Like an orange in the snow in winter.
"What time is it?" She sat up and asked softly.
"It's almost time."
"Sleeping for so long." She scratched her head, "I'm going back now."
"Go back?" He put down his phone and thought about it seriously, "Just sleep here and go back after breakfast tomorrow."
This suggestion is okay, she thought as she looked at the spacious office, it was clean and tidy, with sufficient heating, it was no problem to stay for one night, but if she stayed, would he stay too
"Where do you sleep?" she asked him.
"I can go to the living room on the second floor, find two sofas and make them together, and sleep until dawn, no problem."
"Sounds exhausting."
Cheng Jingbo came over, sat on the side of the sofa bed, looked at her quietly, and brushed a little dust off her eyelashes with her hand.
"How about we squeeze and sleep?" she suggested.
He smiled, slowly pondering the feasibility of this suggestion, and asked, "Are you sure? Will I have to turn my back again to adjust my emotions?"
"No, we just make ends meet for one night." She thought it was just back to back, there should be no problem.
"It's too small, you won't be able to sleep comfortably, I'll go downstairs later." He said and lay down, "Now I'll stay with you for a while."
Bai Ziren also lay down, shoulder to shoulder with him, not daring to move at all.
"Don't be nervous." He took her hand and pressed the palm against her fingertips, "At most."
"I'm not nervous because I'm afraid."
"I know." He looked at her hand and slowed down his speech, "Remember the last time we talked about Plato? Then I thought, if I really want to fall in love with you purely spiritually, I can do it too, but it's a little bit more difficult."
She said nothing.
"I chose you not to solve my loneliness, nor to carry on the family line, but to keep you by my side."
She turned her body to face him, and whispered in his ear: "I know who you are, and I like you too, it has nothing to do with anything else."
He held her hand casually on his chest.
"We'll do that after we get married, shall we?"
"What did you say?" He was a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong.
Sure enough, her ears were all red, and she began to stutter: "I mean, after we get married, we won't be Plato, just like everyone else."
"So, you have decided that you want to marry me?"
"Otherwise... why should I fall in love with you? Still lying here together?"
There was a moment of stillness in his eyes, as if a calm lake had a storm at night, and the darkness deepened silently, as if it was about to sweep the person in front of him.
If I remember correctly, this is the first time she said such a thing. He thought it would be a long time before she had the courage to open up this topic, but she just said it.
"I understand." He stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and slowly summed up her words, "You mean, you are willing to marry me, and you are willing to accompany me to do things that make us happy, and you are willing to continue the offspring for us, yes?"
"..."
"I'm glad you took the initiative."
She was completely at a loss for words, and didn't know how to continue. In fact, when she said those words just now, she obviously didn't think so much. The only thing she was sure of was the fact that she was willing to be with him for the rest of her life.
"Actually, I think the same thing." He continued, "We will be together for the rest of our lives, I will take care of you, give you what I can, try to make you less troublesome, and stay with me without any worries."
His love words were so sweet, she forgot the entanglement just now, followed his train of thought, and nodded in agreement.
"However, I may not be rich enough to give you the best material things."
"Enough." She held his hand tightly, her eyes were clear and bright, and her tone was firm, "I feel rich."
How can those vain delicacies, rich clothes and fine food compare to the peace of mind being with him? She is like a lucky child who accidentally picked up a pearl hidden in the gravel while playing, held it firmly in her palm, and just wanted to cherish it.
Her appearance is very beautiful in his eyes. If it is said that he was not interested in beautiful women in the past, now he realizes that he has never met a real beauty. Like at this moment, the small attic window is facing the night sky, sporadic flickering, faint light Come in, when everything is quiet, her face is close at hand, black eyes and white skin, blue silk like a juan is scattered on his arms, there is a touch of sweetness in the breath, eyelashes flicker, eyes are clear, clearly wearing a pair of eyes. His pure love and attachment, holding her in his arms for a long time, he admitted that it was difficult to hold on.
Plato falls in love, he thinks few people in the world can do it, especially when they really meet Allure.
"Why don't you talk?" She wondered.
"It's time, I should go down."
"So fast? Don't stay longer?"
"I really want to stay forever." He looked at her with determination deep in his eyes, "but I can't."
With that said, he got up to cover her with the quilt, took off her socks and put them aside so that she could sleep more comfortably.
"Call me if you need anything, I'll be downstairs."
She pulled the quilt with both hands and smiled at him: "See you tomorrow morning."
"Okay, see you tomorrow morning." He turned off the light and exited gently.
Because he just fell asleep, Bai Ziren didn't feel sleepy for the time being. He lay on the warm sofa and tried to hear the movement downstairs, but of course it was futile. The partition here was thick, and there was no sound downstairs. She felt a little regretful. I had no choice but to close my eyes and urge myself to fall asleep quickly, but I was in good spirits and couldn't fall asleep until dawn.
Bai Ziren slept for a long time and didn't wake up until after nine o'clock. He called Cheng Jingbo as soon as he woke up. He came up quickly, already dressed neatly, obviously woke up early.
He leaned over to look at her and asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well?"
"Very good." She was refreshed, unaware that her hair was a mess.
"Go to the bathroom to wash up first, and then follow me to the first floor for breakfast."
"I'll go right away, you wait for me."
He didn't say that he woke up after six o'clock. He opened the door and came in to see her once, and found that she was in a deep sleep. He heard a very soft sound recently. He sat on the side and kept looking at her. After a long time, he left the room. I went to the second floor to read a book.
Bai Ziren finished washing quickly, and followed Cheng Jingbo to the first floor for breakfast. Xiao Jiren had already arrived, and he had changed into grass-green work clothes, with a flower bud tied in his hair. He was very youthful. His face remained calm.
Not long after Bai Ziren sat down, Xiao Ji served an American breakfast, including omelette, potato pancakes, bacon, vegetables and a cup of hot milk.
"The omelette was made by Mr. Cheng himself, and it tastes very good." Xiao Ji specially explained.
Bai Ziren's eyes lit up.
"The hot milk was also ordered by Teacher Cheng. It should be coffee." Xiao Ji glanced at them again.
Cheng Jingbo didn't speak.
Xiao Ji began to talk to himself: "In the future, I will also find such a caring boyfriend, who will wake up at six o'clock and make a loving breakfast for me. Thinking about it, it will be very loving."
"I wish you all the best, now you can retire." Cheng Jingbo said.
Xiao Ji retreated angrily.
Bai Ziren took a sip of Cheng Jingbo's omelet, it tasted super delicious, and he was a little surprised at his good cooking skills.
"Don't expect too much, I only cook simple things, cooking noodles, omelets and fried rice, nothing else."
"It's already perfect. If I can eat this omelet every morning, I will be very happy."
He smiled, and heard her talking about happiness again and again, he couldn't help saying: "Your happiness seems to be easy to achieve."
"Happiness is a very simple thing. I watched a movie when I was a child, and there was a line in it that said that there are two major wishes in life." She paused and asked him, "Guess what it is?"
"My guess is, every morning when I open my eyes, I have a cup of hot soy milk, and every night I can take a hot bath before going to bed."
She smiled: "So you have seen it too."
He denied it lightly: "I haven't seen it, but a kid has, and she told me."
She didn't ask who the kid was, so she took it for granted that he was his friend at the time.
"Life should be contented and happy, that will be very happy."
"Speaking of contentment and happiness, I objected to these four words a long time ago. I felt that life should be pursued continuously. Whether it is a lofty ideal or a vulgar material, having a goal to pursue is a kind of value, at least people Living soberly, and those four words will more or less hinder people's thinking, it seems to be a good excuse to be lazy."
She listened to him.
"It's different now, I like these four words." He looked at her.
She saw a little hidden emotion in his eyes, and suddenly she was a little puzzled, but she didn't try to pry into it. If he wanted to tell her something, he would always say it, just like her inner affairs, he never took the initiative to ask, Wait for her to say it voluntarily.
"Especially today, I'm really happy." He pulled her wrist and took a bite of the omelette in her hand naturally, "I can see you when you open it."
"Are you always so sweet-talking?" She asked him seriously.
"Just telling the truth, I don't deliberately say nice compliments."
"But it sounds good."
"Then do you want me to say something more?" He didn't let go of her in a hurry, and gently rubbed her wrist with his fingertips.
At first he wanted to nod and say yes, but found that Xiao Ji secretly changed his direction through the gap between the tablecloths, and glanced at their table, as if he was paying attention.
She changed her mind resolutely: "You can continue talking when there are only two of us."
"Okay, I'll find a place where there are no idlers waiting to watch, and make sure you're the only one who hears it."
After breakfast was over, Cheng Jingbo sent Bai Ziren back to school. Xiao Ji, who had lost a lot of weight from being abused, lay on the bar counter and sighed, "The temperature is so high today. Seeing that spring is coming, my love, where are you? At the age of twenty-four, I am not much worse than other parents, so what is going on without a princess hug?"
"Ji Dongdong, what are you rambling about?" Zhang Wuji walked in, saw the employee lying listlessly on his stomach, and was instantly displeased, "How decent are you?"
Xiao Ji trembled, and immediately stood up straight: "Zhang Mo... Manager Zhang, long time no see."
"Long time no see?" Zhang Wuji sneered, and took off his sunglasses, revealing a bloodless face, "You are very courageous, you dare to mock me as the shopkeeper."
"Don't dare, I miss you."
"Hypocritical." Zhang Wuji ignored it, and roughly browsed the furnishings in the store. Everything was in order, but there was a table left uncleared, and he questioned quietly, "What's the matter with that table, no one cleared it up after eating?"
"Oh, that's what Mr. Cheng cooked for his girlfriend, not a guest. To be precise, we haven't officially opened yet."
"Cheng Jingbo's girlfriend?" Zhang Wuji thought about it. He heard Ji Dongdong say it before, but he believed that she was chasing after the wind. With Cheng Jingbo's ascetic temperament, he would never find a woman. Now it seems that it is him. Overconfident.
"Manager Zhang?" Seeing his silence for a long time, Ji Dongdong had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Zhang Wuji opened his mouth with a devastating line: "Ji Dongdong, one-third of your salary will be deducted this month."
"Huh? What did I do wrong?!"
Zhang Wuji glanced at her casually and found a reason: "The hairstyle is not right, my female employees need to be dignified and elegant, such a round bun head, I can accept it if you are eighteen years old, but unfortunately, you have surpassed my bottom line by a full six age."
Ji Dongdong's eyes widened, his fists beside him were already clenched, and he was about to yell at his old lady in the next second, and then punched that handsome face.
Zhang Wuji asked expressionlessly: "Your facial features are crowded together, what are you thinking in your heart?"
"No." Ji Dongdong said silently, holding back a knife in his heart.
"It's fine if you don't have one. I'm going upstairs. Don't bother me if you have anything to do." He put on his sunglasses again.
"Wait... Manager Zhang, there is an extra sofa bed in the office."
"Oh? Who moved it?"
"Teacher Cheng sent someone to move here so that he can sleep with his girlfriend conveniently."
"Ji Dongdong, two-thirds of his salary will be deducted."
"..."
"If I need a reason, I can spend fifteen seconds looking for one." Zhang Wuji pondered.
"… unnecessary."
"Good, saved my time."
When Zhang Wuji went upstairs, Ji Dongdong collapsed behind the bar, not knowing what he did wrong to offend the big devil. It took five minutes before he remembered something. The older leftover man, whoever finds a wife first will win 1,000 yuan. Now it seems that 99% of them have lost. It is not only about money, but also about dignity. With his good face, he must be in a bad mood now. Take it out on her, of course.
Thinking of this, Ji Dongdong shouted in his heart, he is really too insidious!
