It was almost eleven o'clock when the work was over that day, and most of the people in the school had dispersed. Meng Shengnan went back to the apartment to pack her things, but was stopped by Xiao Lin at the door of the building. The woman smiled brightly, and Fu Song stood behind her.
"It's time to wait for you."
Meng Shengnan laughed, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Lin took out the invitation card from his bag and handed it to her, it was bright red. Meng Shengnan was surprised, and couldn't help but turn it over to check the time.
"July 19?"
Fu Song said, "We must come when the time comes."
Meng Shengnan was full of sighs, glanced at the two of them, lowered his head and smiled, and said slowly, "I didn't expect it to be so early."
Xiao Lin looked at Fu Song, the man stood up straight with a smile on his eyes. The sweetness in the woman's eyes couldn't be hidden, she turned to her and said, "It was planned to be next month, but he wanted to get married early and take me to London."
"Watching the Olympics?"
Kobayashi nodded with a smile.
Thousands of words, Meng Shengnan really didn't know what to say. She slightly opened her arms and hugged Xiao Lin, and whispered in her ear: "Happy wedding."
"Hurry up too."
She nodded with a smile.
We said a few words and said goodbye to each other. Meng Shengnan looked at the back of the pair walking away hand in hand, smiled and went upstairs. She had nothing to pack, she simply brought a few clothes. Sheng Dian called to ask her when she would arrive home, but she was on the bus heading back, and she said it was coming soon.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Xiao Hang ran out and hugged her.
Meng Shengnan was overjoyed, "What did your mother do?"
The child held his head high and held his chest high, "Sparse ribs, chicken wings and hairy crabs."
Meng Shengnan: "Why is it all your favorite food, what about mine?"
The child looked very serious, "Sister."
"Um?"
"You might have picked it up."
Meng Shengnan: "..."
She entered the house, and the grand ceremony had already set the table. Good guy, this is the full banquet. She probed to the woman in the kitchen, "What day is it today, Mom?"
Sheng Ceremony turned back and smiled, "Good day."
"What a good day?" she asked.
Sheng Dian pushed her to go out, "365 days a year, every day is a good day."
Meng Shengnan: "..."
At the dinner table, Meng Jin asked when she was going to Hangzhou. Sheng Dian went straight to the case, "Let's leave in these two days, your grandma reminds me every day."
"Sister, I'll go too."
Meng Shengnan couldn't taste the food while eating the food.
"If you go, you can stay longer." Sheng Dian said.
She poked the dish and said 'um'.
"By the way, Aunt Kang two days ago..." Sheng Dian turned to ask Meng Jin, Meng Shengnan lowered his head, and the food was tasteless. She sighed in her heart, she was about to leave just after confirming the relationship. The phone in the bag rang suddenly, and she immediately put down her chopsticks to pick it up.
The man over there asked, "Where are you?"
"Home."
"gone back?"
Meng Shengnan: "Well, I just arrived."
Chi Zheng was silent for a while, "What are you doing now?"
She glanced back at the three people at the dinner table, looked away, and lowered her voice, "It's time to eat."
Chi Zheng: "Then I'll call you later."
"Um."
With a muffled voice, she reluctantly ended the short phone call. Sheng Ceremony raised his voice and asked, "Who is it?"
"a friend."
She obediently sat down and ate, and the grand ceremony continued.
"Then you are still so quiet when you make a phone call?"
Meng Shengnan smiled dryly, "Aren't I afraid of disturbing you?"
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and bit the vegetables, feeling depressed. At that time Chi Zheng had just come out of the shop and was going to pick up Jiang Jin at the airport. He stepped on the accelerator and ran all the way. Jiang Jin had already got off the plane and was waiting on the roadside at the airport. Seeing a motorcycle approaching straight away, he hooked his fingers on his sunglasses and was stunned.
"Damn, your car is really good."
Chi Zheng got out of the car and glanced over.
"Don't sit down."
Jiang Jin giggled, "How is my sister?"
Chi Zheng threw a helmet over.
"gone."
"Tsk."
When he arrived at the shop, Jiang Jin threw his luggage on the ground and looked around. Chi Zheng took out two cigarettes from his pocket, threw one to him, and nodded.
"You've been like this for the past two years?"
Chi Zheng glanced at him lightly and took a breath.
Jiang Jin also took a sip, "Don't tell me you haven't thought about the future."
Chi Zheng didn't make a sound.
For a long time, his voice was calm: "Soon."
Hearing this, Jiang Jin smiled.
"As long as you have this sentence, otherwise I would hate to let my sister suffer with you."
Chi Zheng smiled.
"Did you really catch up with me?"
Jiang Jin still didn't believe it, so he couldn't ask Meng Shengnan directly. Chi Zheng bit his cigarette with clear meaning.
"I rely on."
Jiang Jin walked two steps in place and then came back, "Be nice to my sister."
Chi Zheng raised his eyes: "It's up to you."
Jiang Jin smiled, turned his head to look outside the door and then looked back.
"Are you alone?" Chi Zheng asked, squinting his eyes and taking a puff of his cigarette.
Jiang Jin shrugged, "I can't help it, who made us look so sorry."
Chi Zheng curled his lips.
The sun shone into the ground, and the two men stood opposite each other, each smoking a cigarette, and the smoke was lingering. After a while, Chi Zheng asked, "What are your plans for coming back this time?"
Jiang Jin was silent for a long time before saying, "Go home and be with my mother."
"Not leaving?"
"I'm not leaving." Jiang Jin smiled after finishing speaking.
After Chi Zheng smoked his last cigarette, Jiang Jin took out his cell phone from his pocket.
"Call my sister."
Chi Zheng frowned, and snatched the phone from Jiang Jin's hand.
"Hey, what?"
Chi Zheng: "Who are you calling?"
"My sister."
"She's busy."
Jiang Jin raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with being busy, I haven't seen her for several years."
Chi Zheng said lightly, "That won't work either."
Jiang Jin: "..."
"Okay, stop fighting, I'm exhausted, go to your bed and meet the head office."
Chi Zheng handed him the phone, stretched his arms to stop it, "Go find a nest outside."
"Ho—"
Jiang Jin became furious, "Is this how you entertain the brother who came all the way to sleep in your upper bunk?"
Chi Zheng laughed, took out an object from his trouser pocket and threw it into his arms.
"Go out and turn left."
Jiang Jin looked down and saw that it was a hotel room card with 1197 written on it.
"Tsk, that's enough loyalty." Jiang Jin patted him on the shoulder, "Giving this kind of treatment to my brother after being so poor."
"Hurry up and get out."
Jiang Jin carried the bag with a smile, walked to the door, turned back and said loudly, "Don't tell my sister, give her a surprise."
Then it quickly disappeared.
Only then did Chi Zheng take out his phone and dial a number. At that time, Meng Shengnan was lying on the bed reading a book, with his mobile phone by his elbow. She glanced at it from time to time, wanted to send a text message but held back. She picked up the bell that she had been thinking about for a while, pressed her finger on the answering button, paused again, and then picked it up.
She listened with bated breath.
Chi Zheng asked: "What are you doing now?"
"Reading."
Chi Zheng laughed silently, "Is it convenient to come out?"
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Chi Zheng: "I want to take you to meet someone."
"Now?"
Chi Zheng: "I'll pick you up at six o'clock."
Meng Shengnan said 'Oh', "You just said you met someone, who is it?"
"you know."
Meng Shengnan: "I know you?"
Chi Zheng smiled, "You will know in the evening."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Shengnan couldn't help being happy, rolling on the bed with his book in his arms. Aunt Qiong Yao wrote a bitter drama many years ago. She didn't quite understand that those people in it could really give up everything for love, even if they lived like ants. Now she seemed to understand a little bit, smiled and got up from the bed and jumped a few more times before going to flip through her clothes.
Xiaohang ran in from outside to look for her.
Meng Shengnan asked with one piece in his left hand and the other in his right hand, "Which one do you think sister wears better?"
The little boy frowned and thought about it, then pointed to her right hand.
"This?" she asked expectantly.
The child shook his head, "It's not pretty."
Meng Shengnan was dizzy and shook his left hand.
"not bad."
Meng Shengnan: "..."
On the left is the knee-length skirt she bought in the mall. She chose the dress and ran to the bathroom. The little boy who was left behind shook his head and sighed, "When did I have such a low IQ, and I can't even pick out clothes, alas."
She packed herself up and checked the time, it was not yet five o'clock.
The grand ceremony was at Aunt Kang's house next door, and Xiao Hang pestered her to show the movie. Meng Shengnan was idle waiting for the phone call, looking for a movie to sit on the sofa with Xiao Hang to watch. Xiaohang looked at it seriously and expressed his opinions from time to time. In the end, she was also fascinated by watching, and she didn't hear the phone ringing under the pillow.
"Sister, you can also buy me that chocolate."
"The kind can only be found abroad." She thought.
"But I want to eat."
Meng Shengnan licked his lips, "Me too."
Sheng Lian at the door came in with a big bag of vegetables and looked at them, "What's the noise, where are you?"
Meng Shengnan didn't react at first, then he was taken aback and hurried to find his phone. When she saw the three missed calls, she almost wanted to jump off the building. She put on her bag, got up and ran outside, leaving behind the words, "Mom, I'll be back later."
When the person reached the alley, she swept to both sides.
The phone rang, she picked it up, and the person inside said, "At the intersection on the right."
Meng Shengnan looked over, and there was him and a motorcycle a hundred meters away. She looked down at her toes and slowly walked over. When she was half a meter closer, Chi Zheng snuffed out the cigarette and looked over. She explained with some embarrassment, "I didn't hear the phone ring while Xiaohang and I were watching a movie."
Chi Zheng asked with a smile, "What movie is so focused on?"
Meng Shengnan blinked: "It's the kind children watch."
"Which kind?" he asked.
Meng Shengnan: "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
Chi Zheng licked his lips and smiled.
"Why are you waiting here?" Her heart beat faster and she changed the subject.
Chi Zheng looked at her with deep meaning, "I just saw your mother at the alley."
Meng Shengnan was surprised: "You know my mother?"
"Well, talking to people over there seems like someone wants to introduce you to a boyfriend." Chi Zheng smiled, "Your mother said that our family, Sheng Nan, is talking."
She blushed and bowed her head.
"My mother she-"
Chi Zheng smiled and rubbed her hair, "Okay, let's go."
Relieved, she grabbed her skirt and sat up. His back was broad, and she suppressed her heartbeat and put her hands on his sides. Then look up to the front, the road is very wide and long. Her hair was blown, and her eyes fell on his side face. The hem of the skirt was stuck to his leg by the wind, showing sympathy for each other.
"How long?" Feng Li, she asked.
Chi Zheng tilted his head slightly, "It's almost here."
"Who is that person?"
Chi Zheng smiled, "Old Yue."
