084
In the morning, I raised my smooth and slender fingers and looked left and right, indicating that I was still a little uncomfortable with the ring that suddenly appeared on my fingers.
I threw my wedding ring with Zhuoyang into the hospital fountain when we got divorced, but it left a faint mark over the years. It took me two years to finally restore it to its original whiteness, tenderness and smoothness. I didn't expect to have to wear it again so soon.
No wonder some people say that marriage is a shackle, and the ring is a clear symbol.
I sighed. I don't know when Ding Wei came over. When she saw my finger, she screamed and grabbed my hand. Her trembling body could not hide her excitement. "Ah... Song Yu is so fast?"
I withdrew my hand, sighed, and lay back on the table.
"I haven't reacted yet..." Why did I accept the ring at that time... It had only been a few years since I stepped out of the tomb of love, but who knew that I would jump into it again so quickly without hesitation.
Ding Wei seemed even more excited than me, the bride-to-be. She held my fingers and kept looking at me, "Wow... Song Yu actually proposed to you... Toothbrush, this ring is quite expensive... Isn't this the new style I saw in a magazine last time... It's a unique style... Damn... An Yue, you are so lucky..."
No matter how expensive or unique a ring is, it’s useless; they all have the same functions.
I withdrew my hand and fell limply again, my voice even weaker, "Sister Ding Wei, don't you think we are going too fast?"
"Too fast?" Ding Wei shook her head. "Some people get married after knowing each other for only seven days... Hey... Song Yu is so fast, he won't be that fast in bed too, right?" Ding Wei said as she glanced at me with suspicion, three parts of her eyes exploring and seven parts of suspicion.
I glanced at Ding Wei and sighed again, "He and I haven't slept with each other yet..."
Strictly speaking, it was not completed.
That night, Song Yu proposed to me, and I was naturally very moved. For a moment, a voice in my heart told me - don't worry, he is the one... He is the one I want. Only he can give me the peaceful life I want...
Indeed, we were so passionate about each other that day that I was almost limp in his arms, but I didn't expect that he would stop in the end.
"Marriage... I can wait until after marriage..."
"..." At that moment, I looked at the breathless man on me, and for some reason, I inexplicably wanted to laugh.
But what was more clear in my heart was that Song Yu had always known my perfunctory attitude and my mood, so he was giving me time.
He has been following me and waiting for me.
This man always puts my mood first, how could I let him down
"Not yet? Song Yu is so innocent..." Ding Wei said in amazement, "I say... he can be so patient, is he sick..."
"You are the one who is sick..." I pushed the gossiping Ding Wei away with a palm, "He is not sick, I am the one who is sick."
"What happened?" Ding Wei saw that I was listless and realized something. "You should be happy... You have a man... And this man is not bad... What is there for you to sigh about?"
"It's troublesome to have a man..." I pursed my lips, "First of all, I didn't want to get married so soon. I've only been divorced for more than a year... Well... almost two years... But this is not the point... The point is... I didn't expect that I would have to meet my parents so soon..."
In fact, the second half of the reason is the key to my troubles.
Song Yu said he would take me home during the New Year.
Of course, my family had long been broken up, so Song Yu naturally meant to go back to his home.
I once heard Li Ruobing say that Song Yu's mother was a diplomat with excellent eloquence, and his father was a high-ranking official in the military region. In short, their family was high-ranking, and no matter how I thought about it, I felt that that family was not a place that ordinary people like us could enter.
I even didn't sleep well for several days because of meeting the parents.
"Decided to take you back home for the New Year?" Ding Wei murmured to herself, "Logically, Song Yu should also take you back..."
I know that if you care about someone, you will want to bring him home to gain your parents' approval.
But…
The key is that I am not ready yet. Seeing Song Yu so positive, I feel reluctant to refuse.
Now I just make myself anxious and worried.
I couldn't tell Song Yu that I didn't want to go back, so I could only take advantage of this time to prepare well, and go to Li Ruobing for advice when I have time. It would be best if I could leave a good impression on Song Yu's parents the first time we meet.
However, Li Ruobing also said directly, "No matter how well you prepare, they may not like you... The best way is... to cling to Ayu... As long as Ayu can handle them, you don't have to worry about anything..."
"But… "
I am still very worried. I can't cling to Song Yu for the rest of my life. Since we are going to be a family, some things must be resolved as soon as possible.
I rehearsed at home for a long time and finally mustered up some courage to meet Song Yu's family.
However, I don’t know whether it is my good luck or bad luck.
This year, Song Yu's mother had something to do abroad and could not come back this year. Song Yu's father followed the army to fight the disaster in the south due to the heavy snow some time ago.
So I didn’t have to meet my parents during the Spring Festival this year.
I felt relieved, but at the same time I was a little worried that if things got delayed for a long time, it would become more and more troublesome.
I spent this New Year very worried. Song Yu comforted me that his parents were not as scary as I imagined, but it would have been better if he hadn't comforted me. Once he comforted me, I became even more scared.
I spent this year's New Year with Song Yu.
On New Year's Eve, we leaned together and watched the fireworks flying in the sky outside.
"Tell me, can I really do this?"
Song Yu stroked my head and said, "Don't worry... you can do it... you forgot... I am here for everything."
He patted my head as if he were comforting a puppy.
The moment the New Year’s bell rang, I leaned against the window and received text messages.
There are Li Ruobing's, Wen Li's, Ding Wei's, and my colleagues who have worked with me this year. Finally -
And Zhuoyang's.
Unlike others, he did not use those funny text message templates. The whole message was just a simple "Happy New Year".
I held the phone for a long time, thought about it, and edited two words.
Have fun together.
But in the end, I didn’t send it out.
Forget it. There must be a lot of people saying Happy New Year to him. It doesn’t matter if I’m missing.
He said he would get used to it...
Days without me.
We all have to get used to it.
Thanks to Song Yu's company, I had a fulfilling New Year.
On the second day of the New Year, Li Ruobing and Wen Li came over for dinner, and even Li Chen, who had not been seen for a long time, came.
However, compared with his previous foodie self, Li Chen's appetite has decreased a lot recently.
I was still wondering, "Don't you love spicy chicken the most?"
Li Chen shook his head, "I don't know why... My appetite has been much worse recently..."
"Do you want to go to the hospital?" I wonder if this guy has gastritis or something.
Li Chen still shook his head, and waved his hands at me in a very servile manner, "Don't worry... I'm so handsome, how could anything happen to me... I guess I've been eating too much meat and fish recently..."
Seeing his nonchalant look, I guessed that he had nothing to do, so I ignored him.
To be honest, Wen Li and Li Ruobing just ate for one day and then left.
But Li Chen kept doing it for several days in a row.
Song Yu said that Li Chen didn't have a good relationship with his family. In fact, I had a vague understanding of this, but I felt a little sympathetic when I occasionally saw him leaning against the window with a very sad expression.
This person…
There doesn't seem to be much difference between people with family and people like me who have no family.
After the New Year, I began to suggest to Li Chen, intentionally or unintentionally, that life is short and it is not necessary to have a companion.
But Li Chen always interrupted me with a smile, "Find a companion... Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to live in a tomb?"
“…” He really means well but ends up being treated as a wolf.
After the Chinese New Year, Li Chen became lively again, and I don't know what kind of flower and grass circle he is active in. I gradually put him out of my mind, and Song Yu was going to that prefecture-level county, and the separation was imminent, so I realized how reluctant I was to let him go.
But-
I can't stop.
I could only watch him walk out of my sight step by step.
Naturally, I was a little uncomfortable with Song Yu's departure.
However, Song Yu said that he would come back once every two weeks. Thinking about it, this year should go by pretty quickly.
Besides, if Ding Wei’s studio is not busy, I can go find him.
Come to think of it, life isn't that hard.
In this way, this New Year passed quickly in longing and separation.
After the wonderful holiday, I started my hard work life again.
On my first day at work, I heard the news about Zhuo Yang.
I heard that the orphanage had been completed and was just waiting for Zhuo Yang to go there and complete the completion ceremony.
I felt a little softer when I thought about those helpless children who had been lacking a lot compared to normal children since birth.
finally…
It can be considered a good thing.
I guess I'll find time to visit the kids once they move in.
But I'd better wait until Zhuo Yang figures out the situation. It won't be too late for me to go then.
That day, after get off work, I went to the supermarket to buy things as usual. After Song Yu left, I developed the habit of not rushing home after get off work every night, but going to the supermarket, bookstore, and other places to kill time and calm my restless heart.
Just today, as I was leaving the supermarket, a black car stopped in front of me.
The car window rolled down, and a serious and slightly upright face appeared in front of me.
"Ms. Anyue?"
I nodded, not understanding what was going on. "Who are you?"
"I am Master Song Yu's housekeeper, my surname is Zhou... Our wife wants to see you."
