in the name of painting

No, when I just came in, I saw a booth in the pastry shop downstairs. If I remember correctly, that's where she and Niannian met for the first time. "

There are also such stories.

The author has something to say: the next chapter arranges her reunion

☆, back to Beijing

The sound of going upstairs came from outside the door, Lu Yi stopped talking, Xia Jinnian winked at her, and the two changed the topic tacitly.

"Dangdangdang", she knocked on the door, "Mom is eating."

Lu Yi followed and shouted, "I haven't had dinner yet~"

Wu she: "I didn't do your part."

Lu Yi: "..."

Xia Jinnian burst out laughing, and said to Lu Yi, "She's teasing you, knowing that you're coming, she bought some extra vegetables this morning."

Lu Yi: "This duplicity guy..."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very active. Like a cross talk, Lu Yi and Xia Yujian revealed all the secrets of each other's university. All kinds of anecdotes and embarrassments made Xia Jinnian laugh and stop several times to rest.

She brought a plate of steamed shrimp to the table, Xia Jinnian picked one up, put it into the Lu Yi bowl, and said softly, "Little Lu, eat more."

Lu Yi smiled and rolled his eyes, showing his white teeth and said, "Thank you, Aunt Jinnian."

The dining table suddenly fell silent, and the other two people also straightened their backs, stretched their necks, and stared at Xia Jinnian, with eyes full of signs that they were about to be fed.

Xia Jinnian froze for a moment, shook his head and laughed at the childishness of the two juniors, but still picked up the chopsticks, first took a piece for Xia Yujian, and then put another piece into Wu's bowl.

Xia Yujian began to panic, "Look, my sister still thinks of me first."

She Wu gave him a blank look: "Didn't you see that my shrimp is the biggest here?"

Speaking of which, the three naive ghosts picked up their chopsticks and began to compare whose shrimps were bigger. In the last comparison, they found that Lu Yi's shrimps were the biggest.

Xia Yujian glared at Lu Yi angrily, "When are you leaving?"

Lu Yi: "...I just came here"

She Wu: "Buy the ticket first, it will be too late when I go back."

Lu Yi: "... Aunt Jinnian and the others bullied me woohoo"

Xia Jinnian smiled and comforted Lu Yi, then thought of something, "Wu, when Lu Yi returns to Beijing, you can go with her."

Wu she:? ? ?

Xia Yujian's rice grains sprayed out from his nose, "Hahahahahahahaha"

Wu she: "No, Mom, why?"

Xia Jinnian: "Go back and see your teachers and classmates. At that time, you went back to Su City, and you didn't greet them properly."

She Wu: "This... there are many things in the store, mom, you also need help in your daily life..."

Xia Yujian interrupted her, "Let's go, let's go, I'm here, I can beat two or three of you by myself."

Wu was speechless, looking into Xia Jinnian's eyes, she felt that her mother's words seemed to have other meanings.

On the branches of the moon, she pushed Xia Jinnian out for a walk after dinner as usual.

She pushed steadily, stopping from time to time to cover Xia Jinnian with a blanket on the wheelchair.

The moonlit night is quiet, and a string of silk and bamboo can be heard from the depths of the ancient street.

Xia Jinnian smiled lightly all the way, "Do you know? Once when I was walking with your father, I talked about what kind of person the future will be so that we can marry our daughter away..."

The speed of the wheelchair slowed down, and then continued to move forward steadily. Wu's voice came from behind, "What kind of people do you and Dad hope for?"

Xia Jin smiled young, "Your father's standards are unreliable. He almost requires his son-in-law to go to heaven and earth and be omnipotent. I think he doesn't want you to marry at all."

She also laughed, "Dad is like this, what do you think, Mom?"

Xia Jinnian patted Wu's hand, "Actually, I am the same as what your father thinks. My precious daughter is so good, I don't feel good marrying anyone."

She Wu smiled, "Then I won't marry, and stay at home with you, okay?"

Xia Jinnian shook his head, "It's not possible, so I thought of a compromise, or, you marry one and come home, what do you think?"

"Click"

The wheelchair stopped, and the branches that had just been pressed seemed to be electrified. They went up Wu's soles of her feet, jumped over her numb fingertips, and hit Wu's dazed brain again.

Lu Yi's big mouth!I must have told my mother something!

She walked up to Xia Jinnian, squatted down, looked into Xia Jinnian's eyes, and wondered how much she knew.

Xia Jinnian gently twisted Wu's long hair from her forehead behind her ears, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, "Daughter has grown up, she has her own lover, and my mother always thought that the pseudonym [Her Nian] refers to our mother's love." What about the girl..."

Wu's face quickly picked up two blushes, her eyes were a little shy, and there was long-standing forbearance and restraint.

Xia Jinnian understood it immediately. She understood Wu's concerns. Most of the reasons for her daughter's refusal to mention this relationship were her own.

"Mom has already put it down." Xia Jinnian's eyes were like water filled with moonlight, clear and thorough, without any clutter, and she looked deeply into Wu's eyes, and said seriously: "Mom doesn't allow you to take the money of the previous generation. If you make a mistake, punish yourself, do you understand?"

Wu's eyes were covered with mist, and the world became like a dream, hazy and unreal.

Xia Jinnian's whispers continued to be heard in his ears:

"You and that child are both innocent, so what a pity to miss it."

The fog in the dream dissipated, revealing a smiling face hidden deep in memory, with curved eyebrows and shallow pear dimples, carrying the sweetness of the whole world, and said to her:

"You have such a serious expression, you will scare the cake to tears~"

***

A week later.

Wu She and Lu Yi arrived at Beijing Airport in the evening.

Walking out of the luggage hall, I saw Lu Yi running towards one direction, then hugged a tall figure, as if stuck, and didn't let go after hugging for a while.

Li cherishes and dotes on Lu Yi to hold her, puts her chin on Lu Yi's shoulder lightly, and smiles at Wu who is approaching, "Wu, long time no see."

She ate the dog food by herself, with a hint of envy in her expression, and responded with a smile: "Sister Lixi, long time no see."

Only then did Lu Yi let go of Li Xi, then turned around and waved to Wu, "We're going back first, you can go shopping by yourself, and contact me if you need anything."

Wu she: "..."

Li Xi apologized, and said to Lu Yi in a low voice: "It's not good for Wu to go back to Beijing after all, so it's not good to leave her like this."

Lu Yi shook the hands they held together, "It's okay, she's such an adult, she won't be lost."

As Lu Yi said, he really took Li Xi away, and within a few steps, Lu Yi suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked her to say:

"The house you rented from the university is still there. If you have time, remember to go back and collect your things."

Wu was stunned, she had been away from Beijing for so long, how could the landlord not take back the house?

···

Wu walked out of the airport and faced the city she had been away for two years alone. She was not sure how many things were left here that could belong to her.

There are always no stars in the night sky of Beijing, like a huge net thrown into the deep sea, except for the moon, the net is empty and lonely.

Wu sat on the bench outside the airport for a long time, her phone was on, and it contained the conversation window from two years ago in the top contacts of WeChat:

[Wu She: Every year, I'm leaving for your house, see you later. 】

···

Who would have thought that what happened after that was like a nightmare.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the coldness of winter penetrated into her bones. She stood up, called a taxi, and gave an address that hadn't appeared in her memory for a long time.

Since Lu Yi said that the house is still there, let's deal with it for one night first.

The taxi stopped downstairs at an apartment building by the river. She paid the fare and got out of the car with a light bag on her back.

The lobby on the first floor was still simple and bright. Like her habit in college, she passed by the vending machine at the door and bought a bottle of green tea.

In winter, the vending machine has specially turned on the hot drink function, and the green tea is slightly hot in the mouth, which slightly dilutes the coldness of the evening wind.

The advertising screen in the elevator room displayed the newly released wealth management products this year. The spokesperson's eyebrows were flying, and Wu looked sleepy.

The elevator stopped steadily on the sixth floor, walked through the familiar aisle, and she stopped outside the door of the innermost room.

After a little recollection, Wu entered a series of numbers on the combination lock, ticked, and the door opened.

Beside the window of the living room, a small Christmas tree full of colorful lights appeared first in sight. It was full of splendor in the darkness. On the top of the tree was a bright yellow, pink and gold star, which twinkled and twinkled, as if welcoming Wu to her home. .

Wu fumbled to turn on the light in the living room and stayed where she was.

The expected flying dust and cobwebs did not appear, the room was clean and refreshing, and the tables and chairs remained the same as before he left, almost unchanged.

Did Lu Yi do these?

It's not like, that guy who forgets his friends after seeing sex doesn't seem like someone who would do such a considerate thing.

Wu put down her bag, walked through the living room, and turned on the light in the kitchen.

The neatly packed kitchen utensils and condiments, the dry sink, the clean cooking table, and a plate on it...

Wait, there is a plate of deep burnt cake!

You don’t need to taste it, just take a look, and the burnt charcoal smell that is still fresh in your memory will come back again. This is...

A conjecture flashed in Wu's mind that made her unbelievable. This is... Could it be that everything here is...

Wu walked back to the door quickly. She didn't have time to take a closer look when she entered the door. There were a few pairs of shoes that didn't belong to her on the shoe rack at the door...

"Um···"

Suddenly there was a sleepy whisper from the direction of the bedroom, like a immobilization spell, which instantly locked her in place, and her guess just now turned into reality.

Si Huanian lives here!

She Wu had imagined countless scenarios where they would meet again, but she never expected it to be this one.

There were bursts of sadness in her heart, and she calmed down for a while. Finally, she mustered up the courage, turned around, and walked towards the bedroom step by step.

Turning the doorknob to the limit a little bit, Wu took a deep breath, and then gently pushed the door open.

Under the light orange night light, the face that has appeared in dreams countless times is closing her eyes at this moment, huddled in her light gray quilt, only a small head is exposed, and the brows are slightly wrinkled, as if she is experiencing An uneasy sleep.

Wu she squatted beside the bed, her eyes fixed on Si Huanian's sleeping face for a long time.

Si Huanian has lost a lot of weight, and the cheeks that were a bit baby fat are now a little sunken, exposing too sharp lines, and the color of his lips is also unhealthy pale, no longer as shiny as before.

Wu's hand slid across Si Huanian's cheek with distress, the water in her eyes swayed again and again,

"Why can't you take care of yourself..."

Following Wu's caress, the sleeping person slowly opened his eyes.

Si Huanian's eyes were soft and soft, and there was a touch of pain in the infatuation. She quietly looked at her lover who was so close in front of her, and whispered very softly:

"It's great, dreaming about you again..."

The author has something to say: Let me think about how to write the next chapter, so as not to be locked by Jinjiang...

☆, obsessed with

When Wu was still immersed in Si Huanian's somewhat poignant and blurred vision at this time, two slender jade arms wrapped around her neck, and then a gentle movement, and in an instant, the two long-lost hearts, Pasted together again.

Si Huanian closed his eyes slightly, and kissed her softly, delicately, on her forehead, between her brows, on her cheeks, on the tip of her nose, and finally stopped on her lips slowly, rubbing, sucking, and clinging to her. An obsession with all kinds of nostalgia.

Wu propped her elbows on both sides of the pillow, allowing the people under her to get what they wanted. Between her lips and teeth, there was the fragrance of red wine and the fragrance of green tea, which mixed together into the most extreme temptation in the thinner and thinner air.

At a certain moment, she finally couldn't support the weight of her body, and followed her heart, and threw herself into the intoxicating tenderness.

The kiss also became deeper, heavier and longer...

As if the valve of desire was opened, the flood poured down, the waves were higher than the waves, the clouds and rain rolled, and it was hard to get back overnight.

···

Early the next morning.

Si Huanian was still immersed in the too real dream last night, and at the same time he was a little shy that he had such a dream after drinking.

His legs were slightly bent, and there was a sudden burst of pain in his lower body. Si Huanian woke up instantly. The dream...wouldn't be so real...

When people are in panic, their senses are magnified. Si Huanian can not only hear her own breathing, but also feel the warm and soft breath blowing from the back of her neck, which is definitely not natural wind.

The heartbeat immediately soared.

Si Huanian turned around little by little, and just fell into the gaze she had been looking forward to for two years.

With a smile in those eyes, they are still as gentle, tolerant, and doting as memories, with eyes full of only yourself.

She supported her head, raised her brows lightly, looked at Si Huanian's dazed expression at the moment, and said with a smile: "Morning".

Si Huanian's head buzzed, and a huge amount of information hit him.

Ahhh, everything that happened last night was true, oh my god, what did she do last night ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. ah ah ah

"puff"

A chuckle interrupted Si Huanian's chaotic thoughts.

After regaining his senses, Si Huanian looked into Wu's eyes again.

Her hands caressed Wu's face in disbelief, stroking over and over again, confirming over and over again that the person in front of her was her long-awaited lover.

A sour joy surged up, Si Huanian had thousands of words in his heart, but at this moment he could only send out a simple greeting:

"morning"

As soon as the voice came out, Si Huanian's face was steamed with heat. This, is this her voice?Why is her voice so hoarse? !

"Bah"

Si Huanian lifted the quilt and got in all at once, and then she regretted it even more.The two people in the quilt are completely naked at the moment...

She gently picked up Si Huanian who was like a boiled shrimp, kissed her lips, and turned the longing, debt, and love of the past two years into the lingering tenderness at this moment.

"Niannian, I'm back."

***

With a plate of egg dumplings, two bowls of porridge, and a plate of sour and crispy side dishes, Wu made a simple and delicious breakfast in half an hour.

Si Huanian stared blankly at her at the dining table, still feeling a little unreal in his heart.

"Here." She handed Wu a spoon.

"Thank you, thank you."

Seeing Si Huanian's carefulness made her heart ache when she saw it. Like herself, she also suffered from the ups and downs of fate.

"Niannian", she stepped across the dining table, took Si Huanian's hand, and said in a deep voice, "I'm coming back this time to take you with me to bid farewell to the unhappiness of the past."

Si Huanian's eyes trembled slightly, and his suspended heart slowly fell to the ground. She didn't want her, and she still couldn't let her go.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long." Wu looked into Si Huanian's eyes affectionately, "Would you like to give me another chance to come back to you?"

Wu's hands gradually tightened. At this moment, she was still a little uneasy. After two years of vacancy, she didn't know that Si Huanian still...

"Welcome back," Si Huanian replied with a smile, with the corners of his eyes sparkling, "I am looking forward to your return every day, every hour, every moment."

The two hands are clasped with ten fingers, and the grip is getting tighter and tighter. The world's troubles are complicated, and love and hatred are not important anymore.

The important thing is that at this moment you have me in your eyes and you in my eyes.

···

She leaned on the sofa with a crooked body, curiously watching Si Huanian skillfully tampering with the bottles and cans on the dressing table, and taking a tool like a paintbrush to spread a layer of makeup on her face with appropriate shades.

In the past two years of her absence, she has grown a lot every year...

"I'm going to work." Si Huanian put on a light gray suit jacket over a v-neck solid-color shirt, put on the high heels at the door, turned his head and smiled and said to her, "Be good and wait for me at home."

Well, after changing his attire, the mature temperament of the group president was instantly revealed.

Wu sat up straight unconsciously, "President Si, do you want me to pick you up after get off work?"

Si Huanian's smiling eyes curved into familiar arcs again, and his voice couldn't stop being sweet, "Okay."

"Wait a minute," Wu called to her again, walked over and handed Si Huanian a box of candies, blinked, "Throat lozenges, cough, I should need them."

Even after putting on a layer of foundation, Si Huanian's cheeks were still reddened visibly. She snatched the lozenges, leaving Wu with a quick turning back, "Got it."

Si Huanian was a little absent-minded during the whole day's work, and she played back the experience of this night and morning over and over again in her mind, every minute and every second was as sweet as honey.

Several subordinates around me were whispering:

"Look, isn't our boss a little weird today?"

"Yes, yes, she read the paperwork I wrote this morning, and actually laughed when she saw it. It scared me to death. What I wrote is very serious."

"That's right, I greeted her in the tea room at noon, and she praised me for the nice smell of the perfume on my body, God, I've been using this perfume next to her for several years..."

The last few people exchanged their gazes tacitly:

"It's tricky."

"That's right, I faintly smell something special."

"What is the taste?"

"The sour smell of love."

"What?! President Si was chased away?! How many people in the company must cry to death."

"I bet there will be someone on the first floor."

"I bet two floors!"

···

Finally, when it was time to get off work, the project report meeting still hadn't come to an end. Si Huanian sat in the first place, staring at the project manager who buttoned his shirt to the top and squeezed his neck into a lump, talking more and more vigorously. There is already resentment.

"buzz"

A message popped up on WeChat, [Baby Wu: I'm downstairs]

The corner of Si Huanian's mouth raised, he turned around and ordered his assistant to take him to the lounge next to him.

The partitions in the office area are all made of transparent glass. When she and Assistant Ye walked up to this floor, Si Huanian saw her almost immediately.

Wu is wearing a dark green mid-length knee-length windbreaker today. Her long straight black hair is like a painting scroll, hanging down, and her skin is as white as snow.

She has both the romance of an artist and the calmness of a manager, and she has a perfect blend of coolness and elegance. She always attracts everyone's attention along the way.

She smiled and nodded to Si Huanian, sat on the sofa in the lounge next to her, and politely thanked Assistant Ye who brought her a cup of tea.

"buzz"

Another message popped up on WeChat: [Baby Wu: You are busy first, I will wait for you. 】

It took a lot of effort to look away from her, not only Si Huanian, but also the rest of the guys in the lounge who were still lingering after get off work.

Si Huanian frowned slightly. From the corner of his eye, he looked at a male employee who didn't know what to do. He stood in front of her several times to try to strike up a conversation. Didn't she see that her baby was drinking tea and reading a magazine, so she didn't want to talk to you? !

It may be that Si Huanian's unhappiness was too obvious. The manager who reported in the meeting room silently wiped the cold sweat off his head, "President Si, I actually have plan b here, let me tell you..."

Si Huanian withdrew his gaze, "No, the one just now was pretty good, you continue."

Just kidding, how could Si Huanian have the time to change the plan for him and start over again.

When Wu's third wave of strike-ups appeared, Si Huanian finally couldn't sit still.

She concluded with a few sentences, hurriedly dismissed the meeting with a wave of her hand, then got up and walked to the lounge.

"It's over?" She just raised her head from the magazine, and a faint smile appeared on her face after being cold for a long time, "The employees in your company are really enthusiastic."

Si Huanian's unsteady vinegar bottle fell down again.

Regardless of the bright sights around her, she clasped Wu on the sofa with both hands, then leaned slightly, and in a second, shortened the distance between the two to the length that no one could have expected just now.

Si Huanian's breath could directly touch Wu's face, "Then what do you think of me?"

Wu's throat trembled, and the magazine in her hand was so painful that her palms ached, she restrained the thought of kissing her,

"Cough, of course they are all, not as good as yours, cough cough."

This is Niannian Company, we must exercise restraint, exercise restraint.

Si Huanian let go of her hand and let her go, and the eyes of the surroundings hurriedly averted, as if they were brewing a company lace news that would soon become a hit.

But Si Huanian didn't care about these things, she wished the whole world knew that Wu was hers.

She was obediently held by Si Huanian, and walked out of the building with Si Huanian amidst the attention and greetings of Ling's employees all the way.

Her family has not only matured in the past two years, but also a lot more domineering.

When she got home, just as the door was closed, Wu turned around and pushed the boss Si who was still domineering in the company to the door.

The longing that had been endured all the way was released, and the predatory kiss swept through.

Si Huanian was dumbfounded by the kiss, and only then did he recall that her baby was still the same as before, always the most seductive.

"Honey, honey, we haven't eaten yet..."

"Shh, I'm eating..."

The clothes peeled off from the outside to the inside, all the way from the door to the bedroom, where desire was only suppressed all the way, maybe for more than two years.

The author has something to say: Maybe it is time to enter the countdown to the end of the book, huh, what do you think of the description of this chapter?I have restrained myself, I didn’t write anything below… Please Jinjiang don’t lock me…

☆, ask the heart

Shower breaks.

The warm feather-colored quilt covers the warmth of the two clinging quilts.

Si Huanian huddled in Wu's arms, and closed her eyes beautifully in the intertwined breaths.

This feeling of being cared about, cherished, and owned is like the best sleep aid, making people sleep peacefully.

***

the next day.

Si Huanian opened his eyes amidst the smell of rice.

The bedroom is still very dark, the heavy blackout curtains tightly block the light outside, only a warm floor lamp in the corner is still on, quietly blurring the night and day.

Clothes were scattered on the carpet, as if to imply how intense the "battle" was last night.

The seat next to him was already empty, Si Huanian rubbed his eyes, stood up, and called softly from the bed: "Honey?"

Wu's response came quickly from the direction of the kitchen, "I'm making breakfast, you can sleep again every year, and I'll call you when it's done~"

The corners of Si Huanian's lips curled up, and he lay back on Wu's pillow, took a deep breath, and then closed his eyes in satisfaction.

The kitchen is sunny.

Wearing an apron, Wu was frying the tender yellow and milky white of the eggs to a perfect color. The porridge was cooking in the pot, with orange shrimps paired with distinct rice grains, gurgling with sticky bubbles.

She skillfully mixed a plate of sweet and sour green bamboo shoots, and arranged the steamed buns that she bought downstairs in the morning in a heart-shaped pattern, forming a loving breakfast.

Si Huanian slept for a while, but couldn't stand the smell of the food, so he got up from the bed, sniffed his little nose, and walked to the kitchen looking for the smell.

Si Huanian only wore a blanket, with a large area of ​​skin exposed.

The beautiful neckline is smooth and down, connected to the sexy collarbone, and there are still a few soft and shallow hickey marks nearby.

Wu looked up and almost spilled the porridge, "Niannian, go and wear more."

Si Huanian smacked his lips twice, sat down in front of the kitchen counter, took a chopstick in one hand, tapped the table, and said coquettishly, "Let's eat first, I'm hungry~"

She put down the porridge bowl, stood up and closed the curtains again with a few "crashes", and then brought the breakfast one by one.

She handed Si Huanian a spoon and said softly, "Come on, have a taste."

Si Huanian took a spoonful of porridge and put it into her mouth. The rice fragrance mixed with the shrimp fragrance filled her mouth. The taste was rich and just right, so delicious that she squinted her eyes.

She also served herself a bowl, "Are you still going to the company today?"

Si Huanian enjoyed his breakfast slowly, and replied: "I won't go, I will stay with you at home."

Wu she smiled more gently.

The playlist Wu had chosen was played on the stereo in the living room. No matter how many years passed, she always remembered what Si Huanian liked to listen to.

Si Huanian listened to the music and asked the question she was most concerned about now, "Honey, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to develop in Beijing?"

"I will still be a freelance painter in the future, what about the place of work..." She stopped here for a while, served some porridge for Si Huanian, and said with a smile, "Do you want me to develop in Beijing?"

Of course, Si Huanian was willing in his heart, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into cautious temptations, "Is it okay?"

Wu's movements in her hands paused, she raised her head and looked into Si Huanian's eyes, "Of course."

Si Huanian's smile finally came true, but he was still a little uneasy, "But, over there in Sucheng..."

Si Huanian received a message from Lu Yi as soon as Xia Jinnian woke up. She was really happy for Wu, but at the same time fell into deep panic.

She is the daughter of the perpetrator who caused the Wu family's tragedy. Will Aunt Jinnian also hate her?

Does she have the right to ask for forgiveness?Can she expect her relationship to be blessed?

No, she felt unworthy.

"Niannian", Wu stretched out her hand, and gently untied Si Huanian's tangled fingers, "I have a friend who takes care of the business in Sucheng, and my mother is also recovering well, and you said you would If so, I want you to come home with me and have a look."

"Go home?" Si Huanian couldn't believe it, "With you?"

"Mmm," she nodded slightly with fond eyes.

Si Huanian was at a loss, she was never ready to see Aunt Jinnian.

Another memory related to returning home came to life, the fierce quarrel in the living room of the Si family, the broken vase frame, the cruel truth, the loneliness and desolation in the last room...

The pictures came one after another, like a cruel and cold nightmare, thinking about it now, Si Huanian's heart is still dull and aching.

Si Huanian closed his eyes in pain, "Give me some more time, please?"

She Wu held Si Huanian's hand, "Of course, there's no rush."

She understands Si Huanian's knots in her heart, she and Niannian have too many shackles that need to be removed, and these cannot be let go overnight.

Fortunately, they can face it together now.

***

On the outskirts of Beijing, a women's prison.

Ling Luo pleaded guilty to all the charges after being arrested, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison because of the seriousness of the circumstances and combined punishment for multiple crimes.

After being imprisoned, Ling Luo entrusted a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement, signed it with his own name, and sent it to Si Wangqiu to set him free, but Si Wangqiu did not sign it.

Si Wangqiu would visit her in prison every month, but Ling Luo never showed up.

But this time, Si Wangqiu deliberately chose his and Ling Luo's wedding anniversary to come here. Sure enough, Ling Luo still cared about the old relationship and agreed to meet.

Si Wangqiu hadn't seen Ling Luo for more than two years. The woman with heavy makeup and sharp aura in my memory was wearing a simple prison uniform at the moment, without makeup, her face was pale, and there were a few strands of white hair mixed between her temples. , his eyes were gloomy and waveless, and he couldn't see any of what he used to be.

Si Wangqiu thought a lot before coming, but when he saw Ling Luo, he couldn't say a word.

He blamed himself, felt distressed, helpless, and couldn't bear it... all kinds of complicated emotions wrapped him tightly, and for a moment, he even felt that he should suffer this pain for Ling Luo.

Ling Luo put the receiver to her ear quietly through the glass plate, and waited for a long time before Si Wangqiu could speak. The corner of her mouth curled into a self-mockery, "Why, are you scared by my old-fashionedness?"

Si Wangqiu shook his head, and finally added: "Not old."

Ling Luo smiled very lightly, but she didn't take it seriously. She knew what she was like.

She felt that it would be fine to just let herself age quickly. Anyway, in this world, there is no one worth saving her time to please. Who is young, who is beautiful, who wants to see, and who cares.

The two stared at each other in silence for a long time, Ling Luo was not interested, and finally at a certain moment, she sighed inwardly, it was just a coincidence that Si Wangqiu chose to come today.

After so many years of lessons, why does she still have these useless delusions.

Ling Luo: "If there's nothing else, it's fine."

Si Wangqiu was in a hurry, and when Ling Luo was about to put down the microphone, he hurriedly said, "Luo Luo!"

If he missed it this time, Si Wangqiu felt that Ling Luo might never agree to see him again.

Ling Luo's movements froze.

Lolo.

It seemed centuries had passed since Si Wangqiu called her that last time.

At that time Ling Luo was still so young, didn't understand love, and so foolishly believed that her brother Wang Qiu's kindness to her at the beginning was the uniqueness of exclusive love.

Ling Luo didn't put down the microphone to leave after all, but he didn't respond to the address either.

Si Wangqiu quickly organized his words in his mind, "Luo Luo, I have thought a lot about it in the past two years, and I feel that I owe you an apology."

Ling Luomo remained silent, and his expression did not change.

Si Wangqiu continued: "I'm sorry, I have neglected you all this time, failed to fulfill my husband's responsibilities, and failed to protect this family well."

Si Wangqiu's breathing came from the microphone, so real, as if it was right next to his ear, so close, yet as far apart as two pieces of time and space.

Ling Luo closed her eyes, she finally waited for this apology, but what's the point now?The mistake is irreversible, and she has no future.

"Luo Luo", Si Wangqiu put his hand on the glass, stopped at the position closest to Ling Luo's cheek, and said in a deep voice, "I'll wait for you to go home."

Ling Luo opened her eyes, and once again saw a trace of sincerity in the eyes of this husband who had neglected her for countless years.

Ling Luo still didn't respond, but quietly looked into Si Wangqiu's eyes.

Long time, long time.

Ling Luo smiled.

In her smile, Si Wangqiu could still vaguely see the shadow of that innocent girl when they first met.

The girl took a picture of his painting at her coming-of-age ceremony, her eyes were full of joy, and she told him that she would cherish his painting.

She just lived in Beijing. When Si Huanian was at work, Wu would create works in the studio at home. When Si Huanian came back, she would prepare nutritious dishes to help Si Huanian recondition his body. .

The two are like a loving couple, warm and happy, but Si Huanian still deliberately avoids some topics, and Wu always responds with the utmost patience and tolerance.

Wu would spend one week every month going back to Sucheng to visit, and Xia Jin would tease her every time, asking her when she could bring her girlfriend back, but Wu would always smile and say soon.

Lu Yi often comes to eat at home, and occasionally brings Li Xi along.
