An hour later, it got dark.
The food stalls in summer are the most lively places in the city. The barbecue stalls are full of fireworks. Invite a few friends to have a cold bottle of good wine, paired with the sizzling and oily mutton skewers, and chat about the troubles at work. The tigress said that the family was unreasonable, and finally urged the boss why he hadn't roasted the kidneys yet, waiting for supplements.
There are especially many pedestrians on the road near the river, because the wind blowing over the water brings a bit of coolness, dispelling the heat on the body.
Qian Sanyi ran out of the rural garden community and wandered aimlessly on the trail inside the river embankment. He didn't know where to go, let alone who to tell about today's experience. Looking back suddenly, he found half a friend he could be close to. None of them. In terms of life, he is really a failure.
"Qian Sanyi, Qian Sanyi."
The female voice behind him interrupted his melancholy and annoyance. When he looked back, he saw Deng Xiaoqi running over, panting, with a thin layer of sweat on her cheeks.
Huchi, wheeze...
"Qian...Qian Sanyi, you move so fast."
"How did you come?"
Qian Sanyi frowned. His mood did not improve because he saw his acquaintance. On the contrary, he seemed a little impatient.
"When I glanced at the corner just now, I said that the back looks so familiar, it is indeed you." After Deng Xiaoqi finished speaking, she noticed that his upper body was dirty and wet, and his hair was combed back: "Your T-shirt...you...this What happened?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Qian Sanyi resisted her concern, turned around and continued walking along the river.
"Qian Sanyi, what happened? Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
"You can't help me."
"How do you know I can't help you if you don't tell me?"
Deng Xiaoqi walked side by side with him expectantly, her heart pounding, hoping that Qian Sanyi would open up to her about her feelings about her parents' failed marriage, and then comfort him and relieve him. She has also come through a similar situation. As Lin Yue said, she and Qian Sanyi are in the same boat, and they should join forces to keep each other warm and help each other.
Qian Sanyi glanced at her, said nothing, and walked forward on his own.
Deng Xiaoqi was not discouraged and quickly followed.
"Don't you know how to face your parents?"
How to face it?
Qian Sanyi has known for a long time that his parents are not on good terms and has been used to the days when the two are separated. He has long been mentally prepared for the outcome of the divorce. What worries him now is his relationship with Lin Miaomiao and the resulting conflict between mother and son. Deng Xiaoqi At this time, running around to gain a sense of presence is like flying around a person who is worried about too much homework. The buzzing green bean flies will annoy as many people as they want.
"Deng Xiaoqi, can you stop following me!"
"But the way you look...I'm worried."
Qian Sanyi said coldly: "I know what I am doing, there is no need for you to worry."
"You...how could you do this to me?"
Deng Xiaoqi couldn't understand. Last time she was sad, Qian Sanyi comforted her and bought her delicious snacks. This time the roles were reversed, he didn't say he was grateful, but spoke to her in this tone, It's so hurtful.
"What I do has nothing to do with my parents' affairs. I want to be alone for a while."
"It has nothing to do with your parents, but who does it have to do with? Are you thinking about how to take revenge on Lin Yue?"
"no."
"Who does that have to do with? Tell me."
"Deng Xiaoqi, can you please stop bothering me?" Qian Sanyi said angrily: "Don't make me hate you more and more."
"Hate me? You said you hate me?" Deng Xiaoqi was very excited. She kindly comforted her. She didn't say anything but was yelled at: "If it were Lin Miaomiao, would you still say that?"
"Can you please stop being unreasonable?"
Qian Sanyi's expression changed slightly, feeling that she was indeed a bit irritable, but Deng Xiaoqi was also really annoying. She even said she wanted to be quiet, but she just kept asking questions like a deaf person, and even pulled Lin Miaomiao out to talk. .
Deng Xiaoqi didn't realize the problem and said angrily: "Lin Miaomiao doesn't like you at all, she likes Lin Yue."
Qian Sanyi held back his emotions and said, "This has nothing to do with you."
"Do you think she said she likes Lin Yue to excuse your mother? To tell you the truth, I sent that WeChat message. In order to break up the two of them, Wang Shengnan went to Africa to find Lin Yue's parents. Then Do you think there is anyone who knows her daughter better than her mother?"
When Deng Xiaoqi saw that Qian Sanyi was thinking of Lin Miaomiao when she needed people's attention the most, she suddenly collapsed and overturned the table.
At this year's New Year's Day party, Lin Yue invited a group of stars to help out. It was normal to get first place in the school. Why did the chicken dance planned by Lin Miaomiao also beat her? She was the beauty of the class, with good looks and a good figure. She is recognized as a beauty by the school. What does Lin Miaomiao have? She has a flat chest, short legs, and a four-eyed girl. She is usually crazy and lacks femininity. And even if she has the stigma of being Deng Bancheng's daughter, she is still better than Lin Miaomiao, who has a family history of mental illness, right?
This is often the case. The more friends or besties we are, the more we like to compare and become jealous. Just like many women, when looking for a partner, they always ask: My best friend’s boyfriend is highly educated, has a good job, and is rich at home. , then I must find a better mentality than him to pick and choose. If I am not satisfied at all, I will just say, change!
In the matter of chasing Qian Sanyi, it was okay to lose to outsiders, but she was totally dissatisfied with losing to Lin Miaomiao.
Qian Sanyi was stunned and looked at Deng Xiaoqi blankly.
Did she say that she was the one who sent that sentence? Wasn't it Lin Miaomiao?
Because of the courage brought by these words, he had just had a quarrel with Pei Yin, and now Deng Xiaoqi told him that it was all a lie, that Lin Miaomiao was not interested in him, and that she was "falsely passing on the imperial edict."
"Impossible, impossible, that is Lin Miaomiao's mobile phone. How could you..." At this point, he realized that this question was very serious. Deng Xiaoqi and Lin Miaomiao lived in the same dormitory and were best friends. She got it Isn’t the latter’s mobile phone normal?
Qian Sanyi grabbed Deng Xiaoqi's arm and shook it hard: "Why are you doing this? Why!"
"In order to prevent you from going to the juvenile class, are you satisfied with this answer?"
Seeing her sweetheart's behavior, Deng Xiaoqi became more and more sad, and her heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar, because this was basically a statement of attitude, just saying that he liked Lin Miaomiao.
Qian Sanyi stood there blankly, feeling that he had been deceived, and also thought it was a great shame. He thought that he was a dignified scholar, the eldest grandson of an academician, who had always been brilliant and harvested admirers, but he was turned into a man by Deng Xiaoqi. Became a love clown.
The sadness of quarreling with his mother, the anger of being teased, and the disappointment caused by failed expectations, all these emotions were released at once.
"Despicable!"
He yelled, pushed Deng Xiaoqi hard, turned around, ignored the "Hey, you" sound coming from behind, and walked away without looking back.
"..."
Despicable?
Shameless?
No matter how despicable and shameless she is, it's all because she likes him.
Deng Xiaoqi slumped to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in her knees. She must have broken her skin when she fell.
I thought that what happened last time had brought the two of them closer together, and now supporting him at his most vulnerable moment would be able to move him, but he didn't expect that this would be the result.
She feels that her life is a joke.
dad? She doesn't even know who her father is.
Mother? My mother and my classmates are fine.
friend? Her best friend stole her favorite boy.
study? Can't study.
Specialty? I couldn't even get into the top three spots in the school party if I used my special skills to dance.
love?
"Well, love is the art of dressing up as a clown."
clown?
Yes, she was an out-and-out clown, he was right.
Deng Xiaoqi turned her head and looked at Lin Yue, who was sitting on the fence of the river embankment at some point.
"Why...are you here? Are you...following me?"
"Is this important?"
It's not important.
"You got your wish, now... you got your wish! You can laugh at my jokes again, right?"
Sure enough, he revealed to her that Qian Sanyi's whereabouts belonged to Weasel paying New Year's greetings to Rooster, which was not a good idea.
She frowned and endured the pain in her knees to prop up her lower body, but in the end she did not stand up, her body sank and fell back to the ground.
I thought it was just a bruise on the skin, but now it looks like a sprained joint.
Lin Yue sighed, jumped off the fence and went to help her up.
Deng Xiaoqi was shaky and unsteady, and she was still unwilling to accept his help.
"Don't touch me, don't touch me!"
Without saying a word, Lin Yue forcibly lifted the person on his shoulder and walked towards the stairs leading to the sidewalk.
"Let me go, let me go. If you don't let me go, I'll call someone."
Lin Yue turned a deaf ear.
"Help, help..."
Her voice was cut off by a slap on her butt.
Only then did she realize that she was being carried on his shoulders, with her feet in front and her head facing back, which was the most convenient spanking position.
"You...how dare you..."
Her face suddenly turned red. She had never been spanked by anyone, not even Deng Xinhua.
"Lin Yue, I'm warning you, let me go."
Snapped!
Lin Yue not only refused to let go, but also slapped her hard, making her jump. The passers-by looked at them in amusement and did not take her struggle and yelling seriously. They just felt that it was a young couple having a tantrum.
"Deng Xiaoqi, have you forgotten the bet we made downstairs last year? I didn't even force you to fulfill your promise, I just spanked you a few times. What do you call it?"
The bet we made downstairs last year...
Thinking of this incident, Deng Xiaoqi's face turned ugly, but her body's struggle stopped and she stopped shouting for help.
"Call me daddy."
"Lin, don't push yourself too far!"
Deng Xiaoqi was sad and sad that Qian Sanyi treated her like that, but the things he did to her completely disrupted the process of broken love and interrupted the brewing of emotions. She couldn't cry and struggled in vain. She was very sad. Crazy, very broken!
…
Qian Sanyi was wandering outside like a ghost, walking from the south of Xinjiang Road to the north of Xinjiang Road.
He got the quietness he wanted, but when it came to what he got through thinking, he was completely blank.
That's right, a blank slate.
Walking for miles without any meaning.
Deng Xiaoqi's words made his persistence in front of Pei Yin meaningless. The arrogant number one scholar turned into a wishful clown. If anyone in the school knew about the incident, they would definitely laugh out loud.
A guy like Lin Yue!
That super shameless guy... actually slept with the mother of a female classmate. Is Lin Miaomiao crazy? Would you like this kind of person?
He couldn't understand why she didn't like a top student who was well-developed morally, intellectually, physically, and beautifully and from a prominent family, but she liked a guy who looked like a scumbag from both sides.
Maybe, his mother is right, moving out of the Country Garden Community is also a good choice.
But... I just turned against my mother because I objected to moving out, so I made a 180-degree turn and it was hard to save my face.
Tangled up and down, two drivers who were suffering from road rage were saying goodbye to each other in the lane. They honked their horns and everyone frowned. They also woke him up. When he looked up, he found that he was back to the original place.
"Go home first."
Defeated by the cruel reality, he regretted having such a quarrel with Pei Yin.
However, when he returned to Building 14 with the attitude of admitting his mistake, he vaguely heard his mother talking to the same person near the second floor.
"Don't worry, children will come back when their anger subsides. Lin Miaomiao has done this kind of thing a lot. Later she found out that her father and I didn't care at all, so she never did it again. Now when she gets angry with adults, the most she can do is lock herself in a room. Not coming out.”
"But Sanyi, this is the first time. It's dark outside. Where do you think he can go?"
"He is already eighteen years old, will he still be picked up? Can you let him ride a bicycle to school every day, and are you afraid of him walking on the street alone? Okay, stop thinking about it, let's discuss how to deal with the bastard named Lin Egg."
"You just said that his parents agreed to the African chief's marriage proposal...is that true?"
"Can it still be false? I was listening while they were discussing the details. According to the chief named Ghana Asansi, Lin Yue had already relented, and the two parties had even agreed on the dowry. It’s Lin Qiang and his wife who have been blocking it.”
"Then he and Deng Xinhua..."
"Why are you so naive? It's impossible even if you think about it, to leave the mine alone and marry a woman 20 years older than you? He's just playing for fun."
"That's right, given his character, he is not a down-to-earth kind of person."
"Talk about the child. Miaomiao has a good relationship with your Sanyi family. It's pointless for you to ask your Sanyi family to persuade her not to live here."
"Okay, when Sanyi comes back, I will tell him what you said."
"..."
Qian Sanyi, who was eavesdropping at the door, was a little confused. Two days ago, Pei Yin said that Wang Shengnan had a bad personality and was not a good person. How could the two of them just talk and laugh and become friends?
If combined with the current situation, it is understandable.
Pei Yin knew that he liked Lin Miaomiao, and if she wanted to find him, it was best to ask Lin Miaomiao to call him, which explained why she appeared on the second floor.
Both women regard Lin Yue as their enemy. Based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, it is normal to form a united front.
Wang Shengnan wanted him to persuade Lin Miaomiao to agree to move. From Pei Yin's point of view, he definitely agreed with both hands, because once Lin Miaomiao left, he no longer had the obsession to stay in Building 14 of the Country Garden Community.
It turned out that Lin Yue had already agreed to the African chief's proposal of marriage, and the result for Lin Miaomiao... I was afraid that it would only end in unrequited love.
Thinking of this, he firmly decided not to move. At least until Lin Miaomiao didn't let go, he would stay by her side.
Naughty male students are indeed more attractive to girls. This is how they are played in movies, but as long as Lin Miaomiao understands that Lin Yue even married a black man for the sake of the mine, which can be called a profit-seeking true face, I believe she will definitely make the right decision. s Choice.
At this point, he no longer suppressed the sound of his footsteps and went straight to the third floor.
In the living room of Wang Shengnan's house, Pei Yin listened for a while and pointed outside: "That sounds like the footsteps of Trinity."
After saying that, he quickly stood up, said "I have to go back and take a look", and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Wang Shengnan sent her to the door, not forgetting to tell her to control her emotions and speak her words carefully.
Pei Yinxin said you advised others to do it, but did you do it yourself? Don’t you train your husband and daughter to be dogs every day?
Of course, she wouldn't say what was in her heart, she just nodded, said yes and went upstairs.
Although the relationship between the two people had been greatly improved just now, Wang Shengnan was somewhat hypocritical and conciliatory. She kept half of her words because she found that Wang Shengnan had real hatred for Lin Yue, and she... still talked about it. It wasn't hatred, it used to be anger, but after the previous conversation, the anger inside was mixed with some inexplicable emotions, and even the idea of moving became less urgent.
…
Lin Dawei is very busy these days.
Busy preparing for Jiang Quanling's memorial service------a memorial service during his lifetime.
The venue is ready, the eulogy is written, the scenery is OK, everything is ready.
Then open it.
This time, it was broken. Jiang Quanling threw half a set of punches in front of everyone. He couldn't get a breath and died with a bang.
So the funeral ended hastily.
Lin Dawei was confused and thought he had caused trouble. Who would have thought that Jiang Quanling's wife did not blame him and allowed him to continue planning the funeral. In order to be different from others, she also decided on the festive color red as the theme of the funeral.
The master's family has a destiny, and he who provides services has to obey.
Nothing to say, just do it.
So I bought a bright red training uniform online and planned to wear it at the funeral.
He has been busy with his own affairs recently, and has lacked communication with his wife and daughter. Moreover, his change of career in the funeral industry is not high enough, so he has not told anyone.
What Lin Dawei didn't expect was that when he was changing clothes in front of the mirror in the funeral home, looking at himself dressed in red, he kept cheering, saying "You can do it" over and over again, and determined to hold a red funeral that was unprecedented and unprecedented. His wife Wang Shengnan also came out of the house with her own red training uniform and drove to the funeral parlor. If you want to ask why, it is very simple. She had learned martial arts under Jiang Quanling, otherwise she could have beaten Lin Dawei with one hand when she was young. Accept it?
