After sending Tianjing home, Lai Yang returned to the downstairs of the community, lit a cigarette and looked out at the night.
Normally, it is difficult to see the starry sky at night in Shanghai because the city’s lights are too distracting.
But tonight, Lai Yang clearly saw the stars flickering in the dark sky, just like Lai Yang's current mood, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
The wine cups, the slender arms, the faint smile, and the blush on her fair face after she got drunk...
These scenes kept flashing back in Lai Yang's mind.
Lai Yang felt that he was really attracted to Tian Jing.
I heard her talk about the dejected feeling of having her strength drained away when she had a crush on someone, and the pounding feeling of joy after the twists and turns.
All these emotions were surging in my heart on the way back.
Love, it seems, is just like this.
Once the floodgates of emotion are opened a crack, it becomes uncontrollable.
So what kind of feelings does she have towards me
friend
Or is it like Li Dian said, that you have some good feelings for him
The cigarette butt burned to the end, and after exhaling the last puff of smoke, Lai Yang sent a message to Tian Jing saying that he had arrived home.
The cell phone screen was flashing a faint light, and Lai Yang was standing downstairs waiting for a reply.
Ten seconds later, WeChat made a ding sound, like a pacemaker, which accelerated Lai Yang's heartbeat.
Tian Jing's reply was neat and tidy, just four words: go to bed early.
Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve, and there should be a lot of people attending the evening performance. If you want to watch it, I'll reserve a ticket for you.
Whoosh~
After the message popped up, Lai Yang waited with an anxious heart.
Sure, the company is closed tomorrow and I have some house cleaning to do. I'll come over when I'm done.
Spring cleaning? Are you doing it alone? Spring cleaning is hard work, it's best to have someone to help you.
Lai Yang bit her thumb and felt as nervous as a bride waiting to receive the veil.
Is what you want to express clear enough
Advise her not to be ungrateful.
I hired a housekeeper, Tian Jing replied.
Looking at this reply, Lai Yang lit another cigarette, took a few puffs and asked: How much
? Why are you asking this
Give me the money, I'll do it!
Quiet;…
After deciding to help Tian Jing with the cleaning tomorrow, Lai Yang smiled. She didn't refuse, which was great.
For a moment, it was as if I was back in my school days, taking turns on duty with the prettiest girl in the class.
That feeling of anticipation is really exciting.
…
“You drink at home?”
Outside Yuan Sheng's house, Laiyang
I came here intending to have a good chat with her, but when I opened the door, I smelled alcohol all over the room.
She was wearing pajamas, her graceful figure blocking the crack of the door, her cheeks were rosy, her hair was disheveled, and her pretty eyes were a little blurry and vague.
This is completely different from when you come out of the hot pot restaurant.
"Did I drink your wine? Did I spend your money?" Yuan Shengda said angrily.
Hey!
Since I returned to Shanghai, I found that this little girl has been against me in every way.
She hasn't been asked to settle accounts with him about the 'marriage proposal' yet, so why should she be so arrogant
Pushing Yuan Shengda aside, Lai Yang walked into the house and sat down on the sofa. The empty wine bottle on the coffee table came into view.
"You're the one who's making Erguotou? What good news makes you so happy?"
"Why, is it bothering you?"
Yuan Shengda slumped over on the sofa, bent his white legs, rested his chin on his knees, and muttered stubbornly with his little mouth.
It can be seen that she must be worried about something.
Lai Yang has known Yuan Shengda for more than 20 years. The more nonchalant her attitude is, the more it shows that she is unhappy.
Maybe she is really like what Li Dian said, penniless now, so she has given up.
"Xiaoqing~"
Lai Yang's tone slowed down a bit. He knew that he was also responsible for the "child" becoming like this.
"What did you call me?" Yuan Shengda opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at Lai Yang unfamiliarly.
Ever since he got the nickname 'Yuan Shengda', the name Yuan Qing hasn't come out of his mouth for more than ten years.
"I came over tonight to talk to you about your future."
Lai Yang swallowed his saliva. He started like this because he wanted to have a good chat with her, but he didn't expect it to be a bit awkward.
"I admit that it was my fault for letting you come to Shanghai before. I'm sorry for delaying you."
Lai Yang's tone was not frivolous, he spoke very seriously.
His eyes were always on the coffee table, and he was a little afraid to look at Yuan Shengda.
Because he knew that the other party might get angry in a while.
But she was living in poverty in Shanghai, so it would be better for her to go back to her hometown. Besides, she was not young anymore, and if her marriage was delayed, she would be the culprit.
"I thought the theater business was too simple, and I caused you to invest money. Now it's in such a state, half dead, I'm also very... sorry."
Lai Yang did not mention the renewal fee, but Yuan Shengda must have known it.
She was penniless, so how could she have the money to renew the lease
As for Li Dian's suggestion of asking her to find a part-time job, Lai Yang felt that it was unnecessary.
"So, I mean you should go back to Xi'an. Li Dian and I will get the 100,000 yuan back for you."
After saying this, Yuan Shengda became surprisingly quiet.
After a few seconds, Lai Yang turned to look at her with confusion. Yuan Shengda had a cold expression on his face, with a few strands of hair still stuck to the corners of his mouth, and he just looked at her.
"Are you done?"
“Uh…” Lai Yang was speechless for a moment.
"Do you think I deliberately made trouble for you and Tian Jing tonight?"
Lai Yang's face turned pale when he heard this. What the hell? What is the connection between these two things
After Lai Yang denied it, Yuan Shengda continued to ask; "Then give me a reason."
"What's the reason?"
"A reason for me to leave!"
"Isn't this just for your future?" Lai Yang was angry with her.
"Future? Will you give me a future?"
"I… "
"If you can't give it to me, then stop thinking about my future!"
Yuan Shengda's voice became louder and louder, and her thin shoulders began to tremble.
Lai Yang made a hushing gesture, asking her to be quiet.
Yuan Shengda stood on the sofa with his white legs bare, and shouted condescendingly at Lai Yang.
"My name is Yuan Shengda! You asked me to be quiet now, but I'm not quiet!!"
Laiyang Motong looked at her with trembling eyes. This was the first time he had seen Yuan Shengda like this.
"Haha, I see. Is it because I told my family that I was in a relationship with you that you were in a hurry to cut off ties with me? Is that so?"
"I… "
Lai Yang wanted to refute, but he choked back the words when they reached his lips.
At that time, I was really angry about this incident and even called Yuan Shengda to scold him.
So this excuse seems a bit pale.
Tears welled up in Yuan Sheng's bright dark pupils, his eye sockets turned red in an instant, and his voice became a little sticky.
"Why, you can't accept being in love with me?"
"Are you afraid of your family's misunderstanding, or are you afraid of your Jingjing's misunderstanding?"
"I came when you asked me to come. Now that the theater's lease has been renewed and I've been used to my heart's content, you're just going to let me go?"
After Yuan Shengda said this, Lai Yang felt as if his heart was hit by something.
This is not what he meant!
How did our conversation tonight suddenly come to this
He pulled Yuan Shengda off the sofa: "Can you listen to my explanation? That's really not what I meant."
"Get out of here!"
Yuan Shengda twisted his waist, broke free from Lai Yang's hand, and immediately pushed him towards the door.
"go out!"
"No, Yuan Shengda, did you take the wrong medicine..."
"roll!"
Bang-
