The rain that day was not heavy, compared to the torrential rain in Changsha when they met the previous summer, it was actually not worth mentioning.
It's just that the dripping dripped densely, wetting Jin's pale face, his hair was pushed up to the top of his forehead impatiently, his forehead exposed, and his shirt was wet against the skin.
Embarrassed, anxious, but also unstoppable.
Xiang Yu stood in the traffic jam, waved his hand, and jumped to call him: "Jin Fubai! I'm here!"
With just one sound, Jin Fubai suddenly looked back and looked straight at him.
Across the misty rain, they looked at each other on an unfamiliar street abroad. After a long absence, they met again, so their eyes were even more lingering than this rain.
Xiang Yu looked at Jin Fubai and threw back the police loudspeaker in his hand to the police, and strode towards her.
He pulled her wrist and was about to leave, only to return to Xiang Yu: "I haven't paid the fare yet."
Jin Fubai stood in the rain, communicated with the taxi driver in a foreign language, took out his wallet and paid the fare.
He turned around and hugged Xiang Yu, walked through the noisy traffic, through the sirens, through the rain screen, and gently put her into the car.
When the car drove out of the airport road, Jin Fubai was always silent.
It wasn't until he got to the elevator of the hotel that Xiang Yu went over to hook his finger and asked tentatively, "I'm here, are you not happy?"
Jin Fubai looked back, and his eyes fell deeply into hers. He said, "I heard that there was an accident on the airport road, and I thought it was you."
Before he finished speaking, he wrapped her arms around her waist, and Xiang Yu almost fell on his chest. He just raised his head, and his lips were blocked by his kiss.
In a foreign country, this hotel is probably not Li Yu's business. The decoration style is very simple, and Xiang Yu is not used to it for a while.
Jin Fubai didn't live in a suite, but it was surprisingly spacious. Xiang Yu was placed in his arms by him. He took off his rain-soaked shirt and came over.
Xiang Yu turned his back to him, but felt that the skirt was pushed to his waist by Jin Fubai, and he hugged her from behind.
It was probably the craziest of all events.
Afterwards, they hugged each other and lay on the bed. Jin Fubai pulled up the long white dress that was wet by the rain beside the bed, and asked Xiang Yu with squinted eyes, "Last year in Changsha, did you wear this?"
Xiang Yu was exhausted, nodded weakly and said yes.
During the four months that Jin Fubai was away from China, although he didn't meet, he had to talk or send messages almost every day, but he didn't want to meet and there were so many topics to talk about.
They depended on each other in the middle of the night, and told Jin Fubai about the trivial things in her ordinary life.
Jin Fubai chuckled in her ear: "it's very interesting, you continue to say."
Maybe he was infected by Xiangyu, and he also said a little about the family business, but Xiangyu couldn't understand it.
But she was very quiet, and when she listened carefully, she only remembered Jin Fubai's sigh at night. He said that powerlessness is probably what it feels like now.
In the early morning, Xiang Yu was a little dazed. Hearing the phone ringing by the bed, he picked up the phone subconsciously and put it in his ear: "Which one?"
On the phone was an old and gentle old man. The old man coughed a few times, his voice was full of surprises, and he said something in Cantonese.
Xiang Yu woke up suddenly, holding the phone at a loss.
Fortunately, Jin Fubai came out of the bathroom at this time. She looked like she was in trouble. She covered her mobile phone with a sad face, and said to him in an angry voice, "No, I received a call from your family. It seems to be your grandmother. , speak Cantonese, I can't understand...
Jin Fubai didn't have any special emotions, she took the mobile phone in her hand with a smile, and said a few words in Cantonese to the person on the phone.
After he hung up the phone, Xiang Yu asked anxiously, "Is it your grandmother? Did she say anything?"
Jin Fubai, a hooligan, only put on a nightgown loosely after taking a shower, deliberately changing clothes in front of her.
While buttoning his shirt slowly, he said with a smile, "It's nothing, grandmother asked you if you are her future granddaughter-in-law, and asked you to come and sit with her when you have time."
Xiang Yu was taken aback: "Then you should come down?!"
"Future grandson-in-law, aren't you?"
His love words were beautiful, and Xiang Yuxin jumped fiercely a few times, but he didn't respond aloud.
After that day, Jin Fubai didn't have so much time to accompany Xiang Yu all the time.
Jin Fubai in foreign countries is not the same as in China. Sometimes when he wakes up to drink water at night or goes to the bathroom, he will find that Jin Fubai has come back.
Perhaps because he was worried about waking her up, he didn't come to bed, he was wearing a formal suit and leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed.
His brows are always wrinkled, as if there are thousands of melancholy.
And all his melancholy, never let her participate.
Xiang Yu would sit on his lap at night and help him untie his tie.
Often at this time, Jin Fubai would suddenly open his eyes, full of anger and defensiveness.
Seeing that it was Xiang Yu, his eyes softened again, looking at her affectionately, pulling up a tie in her hand, kissing her lips and wrapping the tie around her wrist: "Why, I want some stimulation. Is it?"
During that time in bed, he had an indescribable ruthlessness, Xiang Yu was tossed so hard that in the end he was too lazy to even get out of the hotel door and ate in the hotel restaurant.
He spent very little time with her, but he never ignored her.
Even one day, when Xiang Yu was sitting in the restaurant, a waiter communicated with her in a simple foreign language, saying that Mr. Jin arranged lunch for you.
Xiang Yu did not expect that the lunch that Jin Fubai arranged for her was actually the bone broth she was infatuated with when she was in Changsha to cook hibiscus flowers.
Opened the soup pot, the fragrance was fragrant, she scooped up a small spoonful and tasted it, the taste was exactly the same as in memory.
She didn't know whether Jin Fubai invited the cook to go abroad, or what other method he used.
For a moment, she remembered that "a concubine of Hongchen laughed, no one knew it was lychee".
It is another ancient poem by Du Mu, saying that Xuanzong, in order to win the happiness of Concubine Yang, traveled thousands of miles to send fresh lychees to Concubine Yang.
Xiang Yu thought a little jokingly that he had tasted the treatment of being a "concubine" once.
She sent this message to Jin Fubai, and Jin Fubai took the time to say back to her, "Do you want to be like this?" Just want to be a princess
Later, I thought about eating the soft and waxy hibiscus lace while eating taro.
The first is to reflect on yourself, why do you feel that you are a noble concubine
The second is to reflect on yourself. After more than ten years of schooling, how come after graduation, you can only remember some poems with the meaning of "gossip" on the surface, and you can't even memorize the whole poem
She was thinking at random, and a shadow was cast on the table.
Xiang Yu looked up, and there was a man standing by his desk, in a suit and leather shoes, with the face of an Asian compatriot.
The man looked at Xiang Yu, smiled, and politely asked, "Miss, can I share a table with you?"
She was sitting at a table for two. Does this man want to sit across from her for dinner
Obviously the restaurant is only half full, so what are you doing
Xiang Yu had just eaten the hot bone soup hibiscus flower, and his mind was also filled with the comfort of contentment. He was not vigilant for a while, thinking that this man was just an ordinary accoster.
So she propped her cheek with one hand, put down the silver spoon with the other, waved her fingers, and casually declined: "I'm sorry, there is someone here."
The man turned a deaf ear to her refusal, pulled out the chair and sat opposite Xiang Yu: "I heard that you live in 404?"
Xiang Yu also realized that the man in front of him might not have a simple identity when he said the room number.
She glanced at him calmly, unable to see what his purpose was, so she could only ask: "Then what?"
"Nothing then."
The man laughed, with fine lines at the corners of his eyes. He looked harmless, but his words were sharp, "Miss Xiang, what is the relationship between you and Jin Fubai? Are you his lover?"
If Xiang Yu is more sensitive, he should realize that his name is Jin Fubai.
instead of Mr. Jin.
There are many diners in the restaurant of the hotel. Xiang Yu may have watched too many spy war movies. He glanced at the direction of the safety exit and said, "No, I am Jin Fubai's girlfriend."
Jin Fubai's preference over the past few days gave her courage. When she said this, she did not show a guilty conscience, but was neither humble nor arrogant.
The man raised his eyebrows slightly unexpectedly, and was silent for a few seconds before spitting out a foreign language with a smile.
Like a joke, but with a heavier irony.
Xiang Yu's foreign language is not very good, but she can understand such simple words.
What he said was, true love
Ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, or they are facing a big enemy, or they find it annoying.
But Xiang Yu didn't have any special emotions, she was still drinking soup, taking her time, only glanced at the man opposite, nodded, and said affirmatively, "Bingo, we are true love."
Xiang Yu will not affect his mood because of other people's deliberate words and deeds.
What's more, she is experiencing the life of a "concubine" today, and she is drinking the bone soup hibiscus flower that Jin Fubai brought from more than 10,000 kilometers away.
Swollen can not open the smoke
The man on the opposite side opened his mouth several times, but Xiang Yu didn't seem to be able to see it. He scooped the soup to his lips, and even opened the snake and played with it.
The man probably didn't expect Xiang Yu to have such a calm temperament, he was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled: "No wonder Jin Fubai likes you, it's really interesting."
He talked about men's interest in women very frivolously, and he didn't even mention it to Taro: "Listen to your tone, you don't have a target, right?"
"People like us don't need objects, understand?"
"Understood, poor people without true love." Xiang Yu continued to play Snake.
The man finally stopped sitting down, got up and walked to Xiang Yu's side, leaned his body, lowered his voice and said in her ear: "Miss Xiang, if the true love you are talking about is abandoning your family and betraying your relatives, forgive me and disagree."
Xiang Yu's greedy snake hit her tail, she put away her phone, looked back and smiled, and said with a bright expression, "Who wants your dog to come with you?"
That may have been a rare sharp moment in her 22-year life.
There are also Lonely Yong who is not deeply involved.
It was many years after that, when Xiang Yu accidentally saw a familiar face on TV, he realized that he was the heir of a well-known domestic company, surnamed Chu.
It's just that at that time, what she knew better was not the young President Chu, but his twin sister, Chu Linlang.
When Jin Fubai came out of the villa, it was already dark. He was going to go to the hotel to find Xiang Yu, so he made a random excuse to go out.
After a few steps, the driver followed: "Mr. Jin."
"What? Grandma isn't asleep yet?"
"The old lady is asleep. It's about Miss Xiang."
Jin Fubai tilted his head: "Speak."
"In the afternoon, there was a little accident on Miss Xiang's side. Chu Jue found Miss Xiang, and I don't know what Miss Xiang said."
The Chu family has always wanted to marry the Jin family, and it would be strange if Chu Jue found Xiang Yu and could say anything good.
Based on this situation, Jin Fubai always felt a little uneasy on the way to the hotel.
Pushing open the door of the hotel, Xiang Yu is in the lobby.
She knelt on the sofa and leaned against the back of the chair to look out the window.
He asked the hotel staff to move the sofa to the window. Xiang Yu has been playing games in the hotel these days. He was worried that she would be bored.
Fortunately, there is a tree with a beautiful crown outside the window, and the scenery is not bad.
She was lying by the window, looking at the moonlight outside the window. When she looked back, her hair was blown by the breeze, and her eyes were also dyed with the color of the lights outside the window.
She Yingying smiled at him, Jin Fubai was silent for a moment, she thought she was going to say something, but she only said: "Jin Fubai, the moon in the sky is so beautiful, like clipped nails."
Jin Fubai laughed unexpectedly, leaned over and kissed her from behind: "I met something unhappy in the afternoon? Why didn't you tell me?"
Xiang Yu put a soft voice in his kiss: "No, I have only met an irrelevant person."
After a pause, she said, "Bone broth hibiscus is delicious. It's a pity you weren't here. This is the most unhappy thing for me today."
There is tenderness in her eyes, which is enough to ease all Jin Fubai's impatience with life.
Jin Fubai twisted the buckle on her back through her clothes, and put her hand in: "I may have time tomorrow afternoon. When can I take you out for a walk?"
"OK."
"If I don't accompany you, you won't go out? Don't be afraid of being suffocated in the hotel, so lazy?" he said while rubbing.
Xiang Yu smiled lightly in his arms: "I'm here to accompany you, not to travel. I don't want to go out when you're not here. It doesn't matter if I'm lazy or not."
But the next day, Jin Fubai still didn't have time to come back to accompany her.
For a whole day, Xiang Yu had no news of Jin Fubai in the hotel.
He came back late at night, wearing a black suit with a black shirt underneath.
Like a night killer in a movie, he quietly opened the hotel door, walked in, and sat on the sofa.
Xiang Yu didn't sleep well that day, probably because he drank too much coffee while playing games in the afternoon, and he couldn't get into deep sleep.
So Jin Fubai came back, even if the movement was light, she felt it.
Intuitively, he was in a very bad mood, heavier than the rainy night outside the window.
Xiang Yu didn't turn on the light and didn't wear shoes. He groped in the dark to Jin Fubai's side, and snuggled into his arms: "What's wrong?"
He was covered in the coldness of the night dew, and she put her warm body on it to help him keep warm.
For a moment, she felt like his long-married wife.
Jin Fubai hugged her waist, rarely did not take the opportunity to wipe the oil, only buried his head in Xiang Yu's neck, his voice was hoarse like a severe cold patient.
He said, "Xiang Yu, stay with me for a while."
Jin Fubai smoked half a pack of cigarettes that night, but remained silent.
Xiang Yu accompanied him until the sun rose to the horizon outside the window, and the sun shone slightly through the lush tree canopy and fell into the hotel room. Jin Fubai took out his mobile phone from his trousers pocket.
It turned out that his mobile phone had been turned off, and a lot of calls and messages flooded in the moment it was turned on, and the mobile phone was directly stuck.
Xiang Yu didn't close his eyes all night, his mouth was a little dry, he licked the corner of his lower lip, and then asked him, "Jin Fubai, I'll change the ticket and stay with you for a few days?"
Jin Fubai kissed her forehead: "No, I don't have time to come over these few days, go back to China and wait for me."
Jin Fubai didn't take her to the airport in person. When Xiang Yu packed himself up, he had already changed into another all-black suit and was tying a tie.
After changing his clothes, Jin Fubai took Xiang Yu's hand and comforted him simply: "Trust me, don't think about it, wait for me to go back."
Xiang Yu turned around and kissed his profile on tiptoe: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
At that time, Xiang Yu didn't know what happened to Jin Fubai.
It wasn't until a week after returning to China that she was using the computer to read news in the company, and then came across an obituary:
xxx, the co-founder and chairman of a Fortune 100 company, died of an emergency abroad on June 31, 2013, at the age of 85.
June 31 is the date for her return to China.
Xiang Yu typed the unfamiliar name of the deceased person in the obituary into the search engine, and saw the life introduction of the deceased old man.
As mentioned above, she is from Cantonese.
There are pictures of the old man when he was young in the introduction of the encyclopedia. She was sitting with several men in a formal suit.
The sharp inner corners of her eyes look very similar to Jin Fubai.
But Xiangyu has heard her voice, gentle and kind.
When he was in the hotel that day, Xiang Yu answered Jin Fubai's call.
The old man spoke Cantonese softly, asked her if she was Jin Fubai's girlfriend, and said that she wanted her to go to her place when she had time.
I didn't expect such an old man to die suddenly.
But about the loss of a close relative, Jin Fubai didn't disclose it to her.
At his most vulnerable and groggy moments, he was smoking a cigarette and staying up all night.
Fortunately, that day, she had the opportunity to be by his side.
Xiang Yu suddenly regretted not being able to stay abroad for a few more days to accompany Jin Fubai.
Seeing Jin Fubai again, it's already the end of summer.
At that time, Xiang Yu finally got some time to relax in the company. She sat in front of the computer at the front desk all day, and her shoulders and neck could not bear it. Jin Fubai was not in China and had a lot of free time. She simply went to buy a tennis court annual card. Play tennis when you have time.
Once I had dinner with Tang Yuchi, he took her there. At the entrance of the tennis court, Tang Yuchi raised his jaw: "Hey, there is a woman who bumped into your shirt."
Xiang Yu curiously drove out of the car, and it was a coincidence that he saw a girl with Xiao Xingyan who had asked her about her clothes brand in Li Haochang in winter.
Xiao Xingyan was waving goodbye to a man with a particularly sweet smile.
In the blink of an eye, seeing Xiang Yu getting off Tang Yuchi's car, Xiao Xingyan seemed to want to say hello to her, but she timidly withdrew her hand as if she was thinking of something.
The girl didn't pay attention to her face for a while, and her smile became a little unstoppable.
Or Xiang Yu took the initiative to talk to her: "Meet again, our clothes are the same style today."
Xiao Xingyan's eyes lit up, like a chattering little sparrow, jumping over and talking to Xiangyu: "I found this clothes in the big-name flat shop you gave me, the clothes in this shop are really good-looking! You Do you want to play tennis too?"
"Ah, you too?"
"Yes, yes, I'm here to play tennis too."
Xiao Xingyan was very excited, "I talked to you last time, and a few sisters said that I shouldn't talk to you, saying that you would be annoying."
"Why am I bothered?"
"Because Mr. Jin..."
Xiao Xingyan hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "Because Mr. Jin is too tall, I'm following Mr. Qu, and I have to talk to Mr. Qu in a similar position, otherwise it will be bad for Mr. Qu, and someone will talk about him behind his back. .. ”
"President Qu, is that the one who sent you here just now?"
Xiao Xingyan nodded with red eyes and ears: "Well, he is very nice, and he even bought me a bracelet today."
She stretched out her thin wrist, a chain of broken diamonds shining on it.
Maybe it was because he often met Xiao Xingyan when playing tennis. There were rumors in the circle that Xiang Yu finally "fallen out of favor" and was abandoned by Jin Fubai.
Xiang Yu had vaguely heard about them, but she didn't care.
The only thing she cared about was that at the end of August, Jin Fubai finally returned from abroad.
After playing tennis that day, Xiangyu turned around with the racket, and suddenly saw Jin Fubai sitting on the chair in the rest area with her legs open, drinking half of the mineral water she had drunk.
Xiang Yu trotted all the way and grabbed the water bottle: "What did you drink from me?"
Jin Fubai's eyes were full of smiles: "I'll come to see you as soon as I get off the plane, and I won't even give you saliva?"
"Why are you back today? Didn't you say next week?"
"I miss you so much, I came back."
Xiang Yu was hugged by him and sat on his lap. After a closer look, he found that Jin Fubai had lost a lot of weight.
She remembered the obituary that had no temperature, the night he smoked silently when he was abroad, and the news that he carried the news of the death of his relatives but never showed weakness.
Xiang Yu's eyes were red, and he called him, "Jin Fubai."
But this person didn't want to complain to her at all, rubbed her buttocks with his hands, and looked obscenely at her short tennis skirt: "I don't play well, but the clothes are quite decent."
Xiang Yu held back all his tears and hit him: "Why are you so lewd! If you're not serious, forget it!"
Jin Fubai smiled and leaned into her ear: "You jumped up just now, guess what I saw?"
