Lantern: Reflection Of The Peach Blossoms - Chapter 77
Min Min, a two-year-old girl at Yu’s house, took care of everything. The babysitter washed and cut the vegetables, marinated the fish, and cooked the rice.
Yu Jingzhong personally cooked the three fresh dishes, steamed a piece of sea bass, and burned a bone tofu soup; when the rice was served, Yan Lanyu finally went upstairs and put the car key on the cabinet of the entrance without saying a word.
“Let’s eat,” Yu Fu said, not embarrassed to look at the expression on Yan Lanyu’s face.
The two sat and ate speechlessly, one went to work in the study, and the other used the iPad to check things in the living room. There was a deliberate silence in the home atmosphere, as if the confession just downstairs had never happened.
Time passed quickly in silence. When it was time to sleep, Yu Jingzhong returned to his bedroom and peeped through the cracks in the door to see that the living room lights were still on.
…What is he thinking about?
Vice President Yu sat in bed for a while, trying to analyze the current situation with the powerful logical thinking ability of the agent of many years, and the powerful logical thinking ability of intelligence analysis, but he was full of brains, which was more complicated than planning an overseas spy.
Sure enough, it was me who wanted to eat swan meat… Yu Fu thought so self-deprecatingly, and washed himself to bed and fell asleep.
As a result, in the middle of the night, Yu Jingzhong was awakened by a strange feeling. He opened his eyes confusedly and saw that Yan Lanyu was sitting by the bed and leaned down to herself.
Yu Jingzhong sat up stunned, but then Yan Yanyu was held down and kissed, while the warm fingers seemed to be holding something sharp and pressed against his chest.
“you……”
The inquiry was submerged in the entanglement of lips and tongue, Yu Jingzhong’s mind was awake for a while, and it was almost unspeakable. In the confusion, he only felt that the sharp thing was stabbed into the meat, and then it was hot and slipped, completely disappeared. chest.
……what is this? He hurt me?
No, no, if he hurt me, I would have died long ago, this is…
Yu Jingzhong no longer thought about it. He seemed to have been guilty. His body lifted his hands out of control and grabbed Yan Lanyu. The two fell over on the bed at the same time. The large pieces of skin were attached to each other, making each nerve ending tremble with excitement.
“What’s that?” Yu Jingzhong reluctantly concentrated his last wit in his breath, and asked, “What are you putting…”
The bedroom curtains were slightly covered, the moonlight was sprinkling on the sheets, and Yan Lanyu’s eyes shone with some strange shimmer in the depths of his eyes.
“It’s the mirror heart,” he said softly.
“It’s half of my heart.”
·
That night, Yu Jingzhong dreamed of the poison girl who was the goalkeeper of the sea. He was placed in the waves, and he could not help walking with the current. He was submerged and set atop the high tide, and saw the whale bones slowly opening in the depths of the sea like a flower; when the tide was lifted out of the water by the gentle waves, he could see the blur when he looked up. Dazzling starlight.
The wind glanced across the sea with a slight saltiness, wrapped in a whimper, as if someone was calling his name.
Yu Jingzhong tried his best to lean his head out of the sea, and the strong impulse from nowhere made him search around, but the voice was intermittent like a hide-and-seek, and disappeared every time he just locked one direction.
When the tide was high, Yu Jingzhong was submerged by the sea water, and the painful cry for help sounded again, seeming to be more and more sad and desperate because of the long wait.
“where are you?”
Yu Jingzhong asked loudly in the sea water, but there was only a string of blisters at the exit.
“who are you?”
The tide rises and falls, and the wind keeps coming, and the call finally looms again.
Yu Jingzhong did not know where his strength came from, suddenly struggling to swim in Shanghai, and saw that there was a fire on the water not far away.
A man was tied to a wooden frame in the light of fire. His body was covered with blood, his blood dripping, his head drooping weakly, he could not tell whether he was alive or dead.
I do not know why an anger that trembles suddenly swept Yu Jingzhong’s heart, he shouted and swam to the fire, but no matter how struggling he could not get close to the roaring tongue of fire.
At the next moment, I saw countless pale and thin ghost claws suddenly stretched out in the sea of fire, struggling to grab the person tied to the wooden frame, and it was about to pull him down into the deep abyss of the seabed…
“Wait!” Yu Jingzhong screamed: “Wait, don’t—!”
The blood wrapped in a tongue of fire, “Hoo!” It burned and stretched into an endless fire hell. The man was about to fall in. At the last second he looked up and looked at Yu Jingzhong in the distant sea.
At that moment the picture was frozen and I saw his face very familiar.
——That is really Yan Lanyu when he grows up!
Yu Jingzhong froze. The next second the tsunami rose from the ground and crashed down, pushing him into the abyss!
·
“–what!”
Yu Jingzhong sat up abruptly, and was so bright that he couldn’t open his eyes.
I saw the sky was already bright, and there were birds singing outside. It snowed last night, and the sun shone on the snow to reflect the dazzling white light.
Yu Jingzhong gasped for a moment, turned over to the ground after a while, stepped barefoot on the floor, leaving wet footprints, only to realize he was soaked in cold sweat.
He went to the bathroom, looked at his face in the mirror, and subconsciously remembered the dream again.
Yan Lanyu after she grew up…
Yu Jingzhong washed his face with cold water. Then he felt awake and turned to look at the messy bed in the bedroom.
Although the very real nightmare just left a shadow in his subconscious mind, Yan Lanyu’s behavior last night…should be agreed.
Yu Jingzhong rubbed his temples, quickly washed and shaved, changed his shirt and trousers, pushed the door and walked out on tiptoe. When he passed Yan Lanyu’s bedroom, he glanced at the probe and was surprised to find that no one was there.
Where did it go?
“early.”
Yu Jingzhong turned around and saw that Yan Lanyu was sitting at the breakfast table, with porridge, pickles and poached eggs on the table, don’t be too dark.
“Early…early.”
Yu Jingzhong coughed and walked over to the table to sit down and saw that Yan Lanyu was holding an iPad and didn’t know what she was looking up.
He will also go to the 547 unit on duty, but he doesn’t have as many restrictions on his clothes as Jingzhong, so he casually wore a light gray sweater. The neck exposed at the neckline was extremely delicate and white, and it almost felt dazzling.
“This… this is what you did?”
“Ok.”
Yu Jingzhong drank two mouthfuls of porridge and later reacted: “Have you eaten?”
“Ok.”
The atmosphere returned to a slightly embarrassing silence. Yu Fu wanted to say something and was embarrassed to say that he didn’t want to adjust it, so he had to concentrate on his breakfast, put the tableware and grabbed the car key and said, “Then we will go first…”
“I have something to tell you.”
Yu Jingzhong stunned slightly and saw Yan Lanyu put down the iPad. Yu Guang glimpsed that it was a rental advertisement in the fourth ring of Beijing!
“What you told me yesterday, I am very grateful and have considered it for a long time. I am very willing to maintain the status quo with you, but there is no way to further the relationship of the lover… This is good for you and me. .”
Yu Jingzhong was a little embarrassed, and it took several seconds to react: “Do you know what you are talking about?”
Yan Lanyu did not answer.
“What do you mean is that you don’t want to live with me seriously, but are willing to maintain a relationship?” Yu Jingzhong was messed up: “What do you think?”
Yan Lanyu still didn’t speak, only to look at the fine texture of the checkered tablecloth without blinking her eyelashes. After a while, Yu Jingzhong was a little irritable, and he finally took a deep breath and slowly said: “If you are willing to understand this… Yes, I mean that.”
“…”
“At the same time, thank you for your stay since this time, but I am an adult and have income. It is too decent to live like this. I have already found an apartment near the unit, and if there is no accident, I will soon move in. Now.”
Yan Lanyu closed her eyes, opened it again after a while, got up and walked to the door.
“Wait!” Yu Jingzhong couldn’t help but got up and asked, “Where am I doing badly? Or are you dissatisfied with me? If this is the case, you just say directly, there is no need to worry about what I think…”
“No.” Yan Lanyu said, somehow the sound sounded very sad: “Not for that reason… Actually I like you very much.”
·
In the next few days, Yu Jingzhong was very decadent, and the whole person was not in shape.
Fortunately, there are few things during the New Year, and most people have gone on holiday, this situation has not caused any errors in work. But in Yu Jingzhong’s position, every year’s entertainment is indispensable. Who is not an elite in the officialdom? Almost everyone discovered Yu Fu’s anomaly overnight.
If there is something kind, I say that Mr. Yu is too busy and the pressure is too great. The old man is declining first; the harsh point simply doubts whether he has been single for a long time, and there is something wrong in some aspects, otherwise how the world is owed He looks like five million.
The red-headed document came here after years. Because of its outstanding performance in the dead air in Beijing and the alien invasion in H city, and the quick and accurate standing movement during the turmoil in Guoan, Deputy Director Yu Jingzhong was promoted by the leapfrog and became a special The deputy director of the 12th bureau of the National Security Bureau under the division enjoys deputy ministerial treatment.
At the age of Jingzhong, this position can be described as a high weight, and instantly became the ghost-eye merchant of the celebrity rebirth in the national security system. Overnight, he received countless congratulatory messages from the capital and various local administrative agencies, within the security system, and from heaven and hell, which really made a splash.
However, Yu Jingzhong, deputy director of Xinke, did not show much enthusiasm.
He sat in the office, watching the cigarettes in his hand die out, and burned a little to the end in the smoke.
…
“I also like you very much…”
“I am willing to maintain the status quo, but I can not go further into the relationship of lovers…”
“This is good for you and me.”
Damn, it’s good for me, what’s good for you? The great youth of my teens wasted on me, and I did not seek anything or ask for anything. This is obviously a kind of repaying mentality. If I don’t like me, I am embarrassed to refuse it!
Yu Jingzhong gritted his teeth and put the cigarette **** on the waste document, exhaling for a long time.
·
A few days after the year, Yan Lanyu really found a good house and moved away.
Yu, who has been promoted to the rank of deputy bureau, likes Yan Lanyu, who is 18 years old. That is really nothing. After persuading several times to be invalid, he could only help to collect Yan Lanyu’s limited luggage and send him to the newly rented small apartment. Looking at the empty room with basic furniture, he felt a sullen heart. Can’t get out.
“What do you eat at night?” Yu Jingzhong asked when he opened the empty refrigerator.
Yan Lanyu said: “Call takeaway.”
Yu Jingzhong looked pale, went back to the supermarket and carried rice, oil, meat and vegetables back, added pots and pans one by one, checked the door and window gas, and was very annoyed to repeatedly correct the lock shaft in the bathroom that was not aligned properly.
He was like a parent who sent his child away from home for the first time. Before leaving, there were countless small things like a needle and a brain. A brain was put on the desk. Everything was worried, and everything was important. He arranges everything piece by piece.
Yan Lanyu repeatedly said no, but before he left, he still made a full of sharp three dishes and a soup, even wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, fearing that it would be forgotten by Yan Lanyu on the table. A few days later Diarrhea after eating spoilage.
“It’s not far from home. I can go back on weekends. I can still pick you up and go to work. Sleep at night and close the doors and windows. Don’t go out and sway. When the Chinese New Year is out, it’s chaotic outside!”
Yu Fu stood at the door and changed his shoes while teaching, while Yan Lanyu was standing at the entrance. The dim light made his silent face look ambiguous.
“Also,” Yu Jingzhong paused and said again: “Although what you said last time keeps the existing relationship unchanged, but I have seriously considered that it cannot be like this.”
Yan Lanyu raised his head, and for a moment his expression looked inexplicable.
It seems that the transparent texture is covered with tiny cracks, and it will soon be broken into countless pieces of thin ice.
“You’re still young and don’t know how bad it will be for you in the future. If you really live together, it’s unclear how many years you have mixed with me, you will have a lot of trouble no matter whether you are going to college or work in the future, enough for you to drink A pot.”
“I still mean to you as usual,” Yu Jingzhong rarely showed sadness: “But I am older than you, not too selfish, so I can take advantage of you when you are ignorant… I still think that , Even if you like someone else in the future, you must make sure that you ride the car and live your life seriously.
Yan Lanyu looked at him staring blankly.
Under such gaze, Yu Jingzhong was in a trance and couldn’t help but stretch out his hand, trying to stroke the delicate cheek of the young boy’s exquisite Tianjiao.
——However, just before the skin touched, he suddenly reacted and withdrew his hand in embarrassment.
“Cough, that’s it.” Yu Zuozi looked at the sky outside and said, “I… I’m leaving first, and I’ll pick up Min Min.”
·
Yu Jingzhong almost rushed downstairs in disorderly steps, opened the door and drilled into it.
This is a new residential area. It’s getting late, there is no one on the road, only a few cars parked not far away. In the winter, the dry grass shrank, and the swing in the green belt was empty not far away, and only the embers of the firecrackers were scattered randomly on the ground.
Yu Jingzhong didn’t start the car immediately, only sitting in the car, his eyes gloomy and gloomy.
What if Yan Lanyu really likes others?
Yu Jingzhong once thought that he would retire in the future and divide the property into two halves, half for Min Min and half for Yan Lanyu. Although there are not many, he can still provide a carefree life for him in Beijing. In the future, if the person he finds can’t afford a Beijing house, neither of them will have nowhere to live.
But think about it now. In the future, Yan Lanyu finds someone else, can he really understand that free and easy, without any ill will?
Yu Jingzhong looked at the sinking sky, and for the first time, a feeling of jealousy grew in his heart. He is jealous of the stranger who exists only in the future. He is jealous of the unreserved love he will get from Yan Lanyu. He is jealous of the happy time they will spend together hand in hand; he sees himself alone in the light at that time. .
Yu Jingzhong sighed for a long time, unconsciously found a cigarette, but could not find a lighter everywhere.
Did you lose your way or did you bring it out today?
Yu Fu was so irritable that he hit the steering wheel with a punch, and simply chewed the tobacco.
·
Working in a place like Guo’an, although it cannot be said that there is no personal space at all, personal space is also very limited. Yan Lanyu’s new address was quickly listed in the organization, so everyone in the special place knew it-this sad news was like a spring breeze blowing across the rivers, and everyone was heard overnight, and their boss was proud of the officialdom. Frustrated, he was dumped as soon as he was promoted.
Some people feel uncomfortable with Yu Fu, and some people feel that they are indeed not suitable for being in their tens, and some people-let’s say Comrade Shen Wanxiao-feel that they can finally pursue the true love in life, so they travel to Tibet from Beijing three times a day However, Yan Lanyu confiscated all of them and was intercepted by Yu Jingzhong.
Yan Lanyu went to work under the eyes of everyone, and after get off work, quiet as usual, as if some kind of flower blooming in the dark and unobtrusive. Yu Fuqiang insisted on picking him up every day, but over time, sometimes overtime and sometimes business trips, the time was always difficult to adjust together, and Yan Lanyu was accustomed to go back to the rental apartment.
It happened one day after half a month.
At that time, Yu Fu was secretly dispatched to a place in Jiangxi to perform official duties. Yan Lanyu returned home after get off work and found a courier carton at the door one day.
It’s the very ordinary courier box, yellow cardboard, with a lot of tape attached to it. Yan Lanyu thought she had arrived at Taobao’s small potted plant, leaned over and picked it up, and the whole person froze instantly.
——Japanese is written on the delivery note. The item is “Birthday Congratulations”, and the sender is Tianli Qizhi.
Tianli Qizhi.
Almost no one in Japan knows that this is his real name. Even in the Onmyoji division, this name is rarely mentioned, but Yan Lanyu knows who he is.
At Tantra, people only call the owner of this name with respect and obedience—
The head.
