cool autumn

Zhou Huaning came back a bit late. She has recently become obsessed with those cooking shows on TV. She is always eager to try new dishes that look good, but because of time constraints, this idea can't be realized. Before Zhou Ran came back, April went to play with her classmates again, so she made a quick decision and went straight to the food market with a bag.

"Mom, I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat?" Siyue got out of nowhere, patted the dirt on her body, and smiled happily.

Zhou Huaning was carrying a big bag of things, just put it away, hurried over to help her wipe off the dust, and said with a smile: "Ask your brother, didn't he say to buy pudding for you yesterday, go and have a look."

"Understood," Siyue's eyes were bent into a small crescent, and she jumped into the living room with a smile.

Not long after Zhou Huaning and Si Yue returned home, the rain outside the door poured down like a big basin, and the sound of crackling rain hitting the ground almost covered all the sounds at that moment.

Zhou Ran stood at the window looking at the torrential rain outside, and stared at the place where the old man left in the red flag car just now.

His brows were always twitching, and he always had a bad feeling about the matter of Zhou Huaning and Yuan Dingbang. Even now, he didn't dare to say with certainty that they would definitely have a good result.

Si Yue bounced over to ask him for pudding, held the mango pudding in one hand, and chattered about the little fat man, saying that he was miserable this time, that he didn't do his homework, and that he was too old in class It was a desertion, and she came forward to help him several times, and said that the test results this time were really bad, but her eyes and eyebrows were filled with the kind of pride of "I helped him a lot", and she couldn't say a few words , I was so happy that I couldn't do it, holding my stomach and laughing non-stop.

Zhou Ran wiped the dust off her nose with a tissue, and touched her head with a smile, "Don't eat too much, you haven't had dinner yet."

Zhou Zhiyang sat on the side, watching their interaction with envy, and turned his face slightly to see Zhou Huaning in the kitchen, feeling disappointed in his heart.

The longer he lived here, the stronger his sense of dependence, and the stronger the reluctance in his heart.Although he was regarded as the eldest son of Zhou Huaping in the Zhou family, and he received a lot of love and affection since he was a child, but since Zhou Zhihuan was born, those cares were no longer exclusive to him alone. It was immediately distinguished that Zhou Huaping was not a father who was good at expressing his own feelings, while the eldest aunt was more concerned about the younger son, and Zhou Zhiyang had grown up slowly, so the attention was natural They are even worse than before.

After a long time, he also forgot the tender feeling of being held in his mother's arms when he was a child. Zhou Huaning's gentleness made him feel that he was valued very much, and his equal attitude moved him very much.

"Mango flavor, here, try it." Zhou Ran handed a small bag to Siyue, and the other bag gave some to Zhou Zhiyang. His appetite is not good, and he doesn't eat much. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat that meal later.

During dinner, both Zhou Ran and Zhou Zhiyang tacitly didn't mention the old man's visit just now. Zhou Ran sincerely didn't want Zhou Huaning to worry about these things, but Zhou Zhiyang didn't take it to heart.In his opinion, since Zhou Ran received the old man, if he wanted to say something, he would naturally tell Zhou Huaning, and it was his turn to talk too much and destroy the relationship between the mother and the child.

"Have you met Uncle Yuan and his family?" Suddenly, Zhou Ran asked Zhou Huaning across the table.

Zhou Huaning was taken aback when he heard this, and when he came back to his senses, his face was instantly smeared with a charming rouge color, his eyes were slightly lowered and he smiled embarrassedly, "Not yet, your Uncle Yuan said to wait for a while, wait After he finishes the work he is doing now, he will take us to his house to meet the elders in the family."

Zhou Ran said 'oh', and didn't ask any more questions. She just lowered her eyebrows to avoid unnecessary expressions, and concentrated on solving the food in front of her.Since Yuan Dingbang has his own plans, he doesn't have to worry about what's there or what's not.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Ran was suddenly awakened by the mobile phone on the bedside table. He was a little stunned by the familiar melody one after another. After hesitating for two seconds, he picked up the mobile phone and pressed the connect button.

"Hello?" Zhou Ran whispered to the side.

There was a habitual pause, as if holding his breath, he was careful not to show any traces, the strange but nostalgic voice made Zhou Ran lose his mind, "Ran Ran, are you asleep?"

Zhou Ran glanced at the black-and-white striped alarm clock on the left, and the pointer had already pointed to 48:[-] in the morning, and there was a pause of a few seconds. I have class tomorrow, so go to bed early."

"I received a few photos today...it's about you." Huo Wendong's voice came from the other side through the radio waves, but when he heard it, he was slightly dissatisfied.

Zhou Ran sat up straight, leaned over to the bedside table and poured himself a cold cup, with slightly drowsy brows and eyes, and drank the ice-cold water, feeling comfortable and wanting to take a long breath.

"What photo, who gave it to you? Mu Wei, huh?" Lying back on the bed in a more comfortable position, Zhou Ran casually glanced at the phone screen that was still emitting faint light, and asked with a smile, her tone completely There is no emotion that he should be worried about, especially the last word 'um', which has an upturned ending in laziness with ecstasy.

The man suffocated for breath and called out uncontrollably, "Ran Ran, I'm very angry." He knew that Zhou Ran had always been gentle towards women, and the strict upbringing he had cultivated since he was a child made him seldom be rude or rude to women. What makes people angry? It's that they don't even have a look of indifference and contempt in normal times, let alone insulting women.

Huo Wendong doesn't have any opinion on Zhou Ran being so gentle with girls, but this gentleness is also different. For any girl who comes to confess his love, he just takes so much effort to take care of other people's face. annoyed.

I have never seen him treat me like this on weekdays.The man frowned, his face full of displeasure.

Zhou Ran was still a little sleepy, but just yawned lightly, and said lazily, "What conditions do you give Mu Wei to let her look at me for you, and even provide a photo."

"A special pistol, which is considered to be the most exquisite one made in Germany. It is still sold through fixed channels. I promise her to get one for her." Huo Wendong's voice became deeper and deeper, and there was affection in the hoarseness @ The voice of desire slowly reached Zhou Ran's ears in intermittent radio waves, "Ran Ran, miss me?".

Zhou Ran was laughing on the other end of the phone, completely forgetting the short message he sent on a whim that day. After laughing enough, he said slowly, "I don't want to."

Hearing the silence over there, Zhou Ran touched the corner of his mouth, and said with a deliberate tone, "It's just that you're not here, I'll find a girl I like to fall in love with, maybe I can really meet her." A few of them are pleasing to the eye."

The other end of the phone was still silent, but Zhou Ran heard some strange noises, hesitated for a few seconds, and spoke again cautiously into the phone, "Huo Wendong, what are you doing?"

"Guess?" The man's tone didn't contain the rage and anger that Zhou Ran thought about. Instead, there was an imperceptible smile, but Zhou Ran couldn't help but spit in his heart with his deep and somewhat sexy voice.Damn, he would use his obsession with nice voices to dig a hole to bury himself at any time.

Listening carefully, Zhou Ran heard the sound of the back rubbing, the man's hoarse voice, and the sound of the belt buckle falling to the ground...

Almost as soon as he realized it, Zhou Ran blushed and cursed at the other end of the phone, "You are too nasty, Huo Wendong."

The man chuckled, continued the movement of his hands, tightened his grip slowly @弹, and said word by word to the phone: "Didn't you want to ask me just now, what the hell are you doing? Hey, I'm just now Let me tell you the answer." Before Zhou Ran could stop him, he spoke more and more slowly, "I want to fuck you."

Missing Zhou Ran thought it would be impossible, so I had to come to have enough food and clothing by myself.He didn't lie. When he saw those photos, for a moment, he really thought about whether he should put aside what he was doing for the time being, and rush to Xunyang City directly after arranging the follow-up. I have the greatest power to surround Zhou Ran and take it as my own.

The clenched fingers loosened and closed again and again several times before Huo Wendong controlled his tyrannical emotions a little bit. When dealing with Zhou Ran, he could always subconsciously feel that his bottom limit was constantly being refreshed, and his The principle is constantly surpassing, no matter how displeased I feel in my heart, it doesn't seem to be a big deal in front of him.

Zhou Ran gritted her teeth and listened to Huo Wendong's embarrassing love words slowly on the other end of the phone.

"Ran Ran, Ran Ran, if you are by my side, I must treat you well," Huo Wendong smiled ripplingly over there, "I will bite the buttons of your clothes with my teeth bit by bit, and then slowly Lick your two little cherries wet with my tongue, suck gently like eating ice cream, I want to kiss your whole body, lick only your little feet, and then touch the flower behind you with my fingers bit by bit Little flower, I want to copy your fiery inner wall inch by inch with my fingers, I want you to touch my domineering side together, let you feel its passion, wait... I will attack you bit by bit My little flower, let you drift with me, with nothing to rely on but to cling to me..."

Zhou Ran trembled when he was told, it seemed that Huo Wendong's hot love words came quietly with the radio waves, as if he had experienced it personally, those sensitive places were a little itchy uncontrollably, "Bah, shut it up for me!" Mouth, you are too shameless, Huo Wendong." Zhou Ran was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a big hole and bury herself, but she was very reluctant to hang up the phone.

"Ran Ran, Ran Ran...um..." The voice over there became more lingering and deep, followed by a muffled groan, which was released.

Zhou Ran put on a completely red face expressionlessly, staring at the mobile phone in his hand without blinking, the hot panting that continuously wrapped around his body made him feel a little dizzy.A cool breeze at night gently stroked away the hotness on his face, and only then did the beating heart calm down a little.

"Huo Wendong, how are you doing recently? Are things going well?" Zhou Ran muttered his mouth a few times, and Zhou Ran didn't want to waste any more time scolding this person, his crow-wing eyelashes fluttered and drooped The embarrassment in his eyes disappeared, he hesitated for a few seconds, and he still tried his best to downplay the opening as naturally as possible.

Hearing the voice, it is estimated that Huo Wendong was pulling out some paper towels to wipe off the things on his body. After searching for a while, he said in a good mood: "I miss you very much, from the time I left to now, all the time."

Zhou Ran paused for a few seconds, and decided to ignore the words, but his eyebrows and eyes stretched quietly, and he changed into a cheerful tone and smiled and talked to him about school affairs, and about sending documents and documents to Lu Qingtao. When he was fetching the documents, he bumped into Xu Cheng, and then intermittently pulled out a series of follow-up plots.

He talked a lot, but the only thing he didn't mention was the matter that Lin Jingxian repeatedly emphasized for him to consider. Zhou Ran was talking cheerfully here, but he didn't know that the person on the other end of the phone had become more and more quiet and cold. The warm eyebrows and eyes began to become more and more serious when Zhou Ran couldn't see them. He was waiting for Zhou Ran to say it, and wanted him not to hide himself, but until the end of the call, Zhou Ran didn't seem to Be aware of this.

Of course Zhou Ran didn't notice this, because he didn't think about what Lin Jingxian said, so he didn't take it to heart at all, he just forgot what he said, and remembered what to do.

Thursday was the memorial day for Mr. Lin, so Zhou Ran asked the head teacher for a day off, took a taxi to Lin's house, and went to visit the grave with Lin Kuofeng and Lin Jingxian.

As a century-old family, the Lin family naturally has their own ancestral tomb. It is located on a quiet and beautiful hill in Xunyang City. , was buried on this small hill after death, and those tribesmen who made contributions but had little power and money were buried in rows of tombs surrounded by stars and moons.

Mr. Lin's grave is at the top of the mountain. As the patriarch, his great contribution to the family is unquestionable, and no one can question his status during his lifetime.

According to Mr. Lin's request, two other tombs were set up in his tidy and solemn burial place, one for Lin Kuofeng and the other for Lin Jingxian.

Standing one step behind Lin Jingxian, Zhou Ran was fascinated by the old man with the photo on the tombstone. If possible, he even wanted to sit in front of his grandfather's grave. The old man Lin on the screen still looks serious, with his lips tightly pressed, and his wrinkled face can still vaguely see his appearance when he was young.

Three steps away from Ran three steps away, Lin Chongwen, Huang Kaili and his two sons and daughters also stood aside, solemnly and solemnly holding the osmanthus branch that Mr. Lin loved most during his lifetime, and bowed solemnly in worship.

Behind him, Lin Jiankui and Lin Yuxiang secretly looked at each other from an angle that no one else could see, communicating silently. From the corner of their eyes, they occasionally glanced at Zhou Ran's direction, and their eyes were mostly blank. The two brothers and sisters looked like Lin Chongwen, especially Lin Jiankui. , the drooping corners of the eyes are exactly the same as the unflattering eyes.

In fact, Zhou Ran was very puzzled. You said that his grandfather was just Lin Chongwen. Grandma Lin passed away early. The so-called love of the house and the black, the old man also spoiled him since he was a child, held him in his palm and cared for him when he was alive. But The strange thing is that his personality and appearance don't have any resemblance to Mr. Lin, even Grandma Lin's appearance is also very good. I can't imagine why Lin Chongwen was born with such a genetic mutation. Handsome, overall okay.

The important members of the family had finished paying their respects following their steps, so Lin Kuofeng let them leave on their own, leaving only the few people who were closest to Mr. Lin before his death.

Lin Jingxian hadn't seen her second brother for many years, and yesterday's voice and smile seemed to be alive in her mind, and when she saw the photo on the tombstone again, the pain and suddenness in her heart made her almost lose consciousness. Weeping uncomfortably, the originally fluttering eyes became more and more dazed and dazed.

"Second Brother... Didn't you say that you are still waiting for me to come back and go to Crescent Moon Mountain to pick osmanthus? You said that," Lin Jingxian squatted down, and gently touched the line on the tombstone of Mr. Lin with her fingers. The name of Hongqi, the mist on the mountain wet her eyelashes, along the corners of her eyes, along the tears and quietly disappeared on the temples of her hair. When murmuring broken thoughts, people feel so sad that they want to cry.

Lin Kuofeng turned his eyes away with a look of reluctance, and his eyes fell on the two vacant tombs next to Mr. Lin, feeling gloomy in his heart. In the first two or three years, they joked with each other that they would definitely help each other and their favorite My little sister prepares a cemetery. It doesn't need to be too luxurious, as long as the three of them are neighbors. They say that, there may be more chances of reuniting in the next life. Who would have thought that Mr. Lin would go first in the end, but this tomb is stayed.

As a junior, as a non-staff member, Zhou Ran has complicated feelings about being allowed to sweep the grave together.He has always been brooding about the anguish of being rejected when he came here many times in his previous life.At that time, he really didn't covet anything from the Lin family, and he even planned to trade what he had in exchange for the opportunity to visit his grandfather.At that time, his mind really got into the horns of the dead, and his expectations were repeatedly broken by the reality. It was only later that he realized that the real thing is to have power, money, and strength. Although it is not invincible, But what he wants to do, and the factors that can really stop him will also decrease.

Therefore, he could be regarded as fulfilling a little regret of his own now.

Lin Jingxian claimed that she wanted to stay with her second brother, Lin Kuofeng took Lin Chongwen and his two children and left first, while Zhou Ran was ordered to stay with her.

Zhou Ran watched Lin Jingxian abandon the elegant image of the past, and with a flick of her dark blue dress, she made it to the side of the grave that Mr. Lin set up for herself. Zhou Ran waved, "Come, let's have a drink with your grandpa. "

She took out three wine glasses and filled them all up. The two touched each other, and lightly touched the glass that belonged to Mr. Lin. The two looked up in silence.

"When I was young, what I hated the most was your grandfather and your uncle. They were both father's children, but they were treated very differently. You also know that my mother was actually just a poor woman who borrowed me to take over the position. It's because I was greedy for a moment of glory, and in the end, I lost myself, huh..." Lin Jingxian chuckled while playing with her wine glass, "Oh, yes, I still have my own brothers and sisters, but it's a pity that all of them are not clear-headed. Is it all a whimsical expectation that the sky will drop a big pie? At that time, it was us brothers and sisters who were discussing what happened recently a quarter of an hour ago, but when you turn around, he can sell you Already, calculated, completely impossible to guard against."

Zhou Ran smacked his lips, savoring the wine in the glass in his hand, agreeing with Lin Jingxian's statement in his heart, but he didn't say a word, he knew, in fact, she just accumulated too much in her heart Only in this way can she have such a uncomfortable and weird feeling. What she needs is a dustbin that can hold her thoughts without revealing the bottom.

"If it weren't for your grandfather and uncle, I wouldn't be the person I am today, the Lin Jingxian I am today." Lin Jingxian smiled at the person in the photo on the tombstone, holding her wine glass at The wall of the stele collided lightly, silently doing the little tacit gesture they used to do when they were young, and then laughed while drinking...

Zhou Ran leaned quietly on the tombstone of Mr. Lin, closed her eyes, and hummed that little tune that Mr. Lin loved most during his lifetime with slightly pursed lips. The familiar melody attracted Lin Jingxian to echo softly, humming softly.

The memories of the past are too good, even the things that I thought I hated and disliked the most, but looking at them now, they are the most real and complete journey.

Before she finished humming the tune, Lin Jingxian collapsed, holding her head in her arms and crying loudly, completely ignoring Zhou Ran who was frightened for a moment, hugging the tombstone and crying like a child, tears like no money The slaps fell off, and the tombstone was soaked in a short while.

She kept telling herself to be strong, and she must not let her second brother be reincarnated with peace of mind even if he went underground. The decision to go abroad was made by Mr. Lin himself, and she was not even allowed to attend the condolences.

At that time, it could not be said that there was no resentment or hatred. They used to have such a good relationship, but now they didn't even give him the last chance to see him. The loss and sadness in Lin Jingxian's heart can be imagined.

If Lin Kuofeng hadn't called her later because of the Maoyejian poisoning incident, I'm afraid she would have been kept under wraps.Even now that she returned to the Lin family after returning to the country, she dared to run back without anyone notifying her after many inquiries and investigations.

What is the consequence of recklessness? She no longer wants to care about it and worry about it. She just wants to go home, so she doesn't have the heart to think about what is there or not.No matter what it is now, she has never felt that there is anything unreasonable or unreasonable in her heart. If it was later, if the poisoning of Lin Kuofeng had not been exposed, and when the two closest relatives in her heart had passed away, then She was really about to cry.

Zhou Ran glanced at her in bewilderment, fell silent for a while, and hurriedly took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe her tears, then got up and stood aside, accompanied by the gust of mountain wind, his thoughts drifted away.

When she went back later, Lin Jingxian's eyes had already turned into walnuts from crying, her eyes were extremely red and swollen, and if she opened her eyes slightly wider, she would feel a slight tingling and tired feeling.

When Zhou Ran left the cemetery with the car and was about to get off the car, Lin Jingxian stopped him suddenly, "Ah Ran, think about what my aunt said, I don't ask you to go to Germany or How about, we can discuss the specific matters carefully." Her voice was still hoarse from the hoarse screaming and crying just now, but her tone had returned to her usual gentleness.

Stopping the steps that were about to raise her feet, Zhou Ran turned her head to look at her. Lin Jingxian's eyes were calm, and her cold and wise eyes were firm. Those familiar eyes seemed to coincide with the old man Lin in Zhou Ran's memory. After being distracted for a while, he smiled and said to her, "I will seriously consider it when I go back."

In fact, Zhou Ran's heart is also shaken now. He knows that he should not miss this opportunity, but as long as he thinks of Zhou Huaning, April and Huo Wendong, and the second treasure that only eats but doesn't grow, his heart It is reluctant to let go no matter what.

But now Lin Jingxian suddenly offered him such a favorable condition, huh... lightly pressing her chest, the beating heart there was silently telling him that in fact, he was already tempted.

It was still early when I got home. Zhou Huaning was standing at the door of the kitchen talking with a few rough guys in the living room. They were all soldiers under Yuan Dingbang's hands. Seeing Zhou Huaning sitting on the sofa a little restrained, he was afraid If I accidentally offend this future sister-in-law, then they will be miserable, and their captain will definitely not let them go.

After Zhou Ran greeted them, he ran back to the bedroom in a hurry, smothered himself on the bed quilt, and collapsed lazily on the bed like a boneless cat, rubbing his temples with some headaches Staring at the ceiling lost in thought.
