Long Street - Chapter 35
The melatonin he bought from the taro was soft candy, and it tasted sweet and fruity. Jin Fubai doubted the function of this thing very much.
But every night before going to bed, he rang the alarm clock on the taro and got up to take the bottle and unscrew it. Under her scorching gaze, he stretched out his palm, took two soft candies, and put them in his mouth.
It’s hard to say whether there is any effect.
He also only ate for 3 or 4 days. After receiving a call, he had to set off to go abroad again.
Perhaps it was because the last time I went abroad was too long and there were too many things that happened. Jin Fubai and Xiang Yu were a little bit conflicted with this trip.
Xiang Yu went to the airport to see him off. He sat on his suitcase and raised his head. It was a pity: “I still have three days off on New Year’s Day.”
“I’ll be back early.”
Just like before, Jin Fubai would occasionally call and take photos.
The difference is that he now talks to Xiang Yu about those tedious business competitions. Every time Xiang Yu listens to the cloud, he only sighs after he finishes saying: “Your world is so amazing, I feel like I am in Listen to historical biographies of turbulent times.”
When she said this, Jin Fubai would laugh on the phone and then ask her if she would be bored at home alone.
Actually it’s okay.
It was the beginning of 2014. The Korean drama “You from the Stars” was well received. The Internet was overwhelming with information about this TV series. There was even a homophonic joke on Weibo:
“There was a baby orangutan in the zoo who was sick. The nurse hurriedly called the veterinarian and asked him to come and treat the baby orangutan. After a while, someone knocked on the door, the nurse opened the door, looked up and down, and asked, you are …’You who came to treat the orangutans’?”
When it was the hottest, Xiang Yu didn’t mention it with interest, but when he saw the printed color pictures in the company newspaper, he realized later that the heroine was Quan Jixian.
Xiang Yu was puzzled. It should have been many years since she watched Quan Zhixian’s “Daisy”. Why is she not old at all?
With such doubts in mind, Xiang Yu also began to chase the drama, and was out of control.
At that time, the mobile version of “Happy Xiaoxiaole” also became popular, and the gluttonous snake fell out of favor and became obsessed with Xiaoxiaole.
Accompanied by Korean dramas and Xiao Xiaole, she did not obsessively wait for Jin Fubai’s calls and messages.
Once or twice, when she was playing the game at the critical moment of the last few steps, Jin Fubai called and she hung up.
Later, Jin Fubai ridiculed on the phone at a distance of more than 10,000 kilometers, saying that she was a little heartless and didn’t know she missed him.
Xiang Yu stared at the beautiful look of Quan Ji-hyun in the tablet computer, immersed in the Korean drama, and replied perfunctorily: “Think, think, miss you!”
Jin Fubai’s dissatisfied “tsk” sound came from the phone: “Go back and pack you.”
He “cleaned up” and learned from Yu.
One day when she came back from get off work, Jin Fubai sent her downstairs and went to the underground garage by herself. Xiang Yu really met the actor she was talking about in the elevator.
When Jin Fubai parked his car and returned, the door of his house was not closed. Xiang Yuzheng was holding a piece of paper and looking around the room.
Jin Fubai asked her, what are you looking for?
Xiang Yu looked back, took what was in his hand, showed him, and asked him if he had a photo frame, and wanted to frame the star’s signature.
Jin Fubai didn’t say anything that day, except that she took a shower and came out of the bathroom at night. She was picked up by him and thrown on the bed. She tied her wrists with a tie…
She was unable to go to work the next morning. She was nestled in the quilt, holding her mobile phone weakly and sending a message to Zhou Lie saying that she could not get up to bed because of her illness.
Thinking of his “packing” method, Xiang Yu turned off the tablet, very serious: “I really miss you.”
Jin Fubai laughed. Before he could say anything, there were voices from other people around him, speaking in foreign languages.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: “Go to bed early and call you when you have time.”
Hanging up the phone, Xiang Yu looked at the still Korean drama screen on the tablet, and looked at the night outside the window.
The high-rise buildings overlooked the dim lights of the surrounding community, and she suddenly felt that the “really miss you” she said just now came from the bottom of her heart.
After a few seconds, he sent a message to Jin Fubai to Yu, but there was nothing to look for:
[Where did you put that male celebrity’s autograph? 】
Jin Fubai should be busy, and it took a few minutes before he replied:
【? 】
Xiang Yu returned to him:
[Should it be thrown away? In case he becomes popular all over the world someday, I can sell the autograph for some money and treat you to dinner. 】
This message has not been replied after a long time.
It wasn’t until Xiang Yu washed and prepared to go to bed that the phone buzzed and then buzzed one after another.
She clicked on the unread message, and he didn’t say anything. He just sent the balance of all his accounts, as if asking her silently, use him?
Xiangyu ate two melatonin tablets, lay in the quilt holding the phone, and smiled silently in the dark.
Maybe it was because she was bored at home, maybe Jin Fubai had told him that Li Qi called on almost every weekend, or he would just stay downstairs at the company and said he would take his sister-in-law out.
With Xiang Yu, this group of people also constrained in playing. At most, they pushed Mahjong together to play cards. They didn’t dare to pick up Xiang Yu’s money. They were very serious.
One day they even made an appointment with Xiang Yu to go to a monastery in the suburbs to worship Buddha on the mountain.
In the winter, Xiang Yu wore a thick down jacket and walked very **** the winding steps.
At the end of the cable car, she chic and waved with a few others: “You continue to climb, I will take the cable car.”
“Don’t sister-in-law, worship Buddha! Sincerity is spirit.”
“It won’t work if you take the cable car.”
“Sister-in-law, these steps are not bad, let’s go.”
Xiang Yu looked back at the lonely winter scenery in the north, smiled, and made a quiet “hush”: “Say quietly, the Buddha didn’t know that I went up by the cable car.”
Perhaps it was her fallacies that had the effect, Li Qi and the others stopped climbing at all, and followed her to line up for the cable car.
Li Qi and Xiang Yu were on the same cable car. When the phone rang, he didn’t know whose name he saw on the screen, frowned and chopped off.
“Lover?” Xiang Yu joked.
“Where.”
Li Qi called up the call log to show her, “Sister-in-law, do you remember Qu Donghang? I used to play with us two or three times in my place.”
Xiang Yu remembered, but what she remembered was Xiao Xingyan, and the finely divided diamond chain on her hand.
After half a second of silence, she spit out: “Remember, Mr. Qu.”
“Look, I know you don’t want to see him, he still wants to follow the Buddha today, I didn’t bring it, I’m afraid my sister-in-law would not be willing to look at him.”
Xiang Yu looked at the water in the mountain stream and smiled softly.
She didn’t even interfere with Jin Fubai, how could she interfere with what kind of people Li Qi brought?
In her smiling gaze, Li Qi’s expression gradually became serious: “Sister-in-law, you are too clear. In fact, sometimes I am afraid of you. You are like the one next to us, bombing regularly.”
“How to say?”
“You also know about Zhuo Xiao.”
Li Qi seemed to think of something, and suddenly closed his eyes, “We went to the hospital. We went to his house after announcing that the rescue was invalid. He had his wrist cut, the floor was bloody, and the cracks in the light wood-colored floor… ….”
In the following scene, Li Qi didn’t continue, he only said that before Zhuo Xiao committed suicide, he had sent several messages to a mixed-race woman, all of which were very long.
They also only found out that day that the woman was called Jenny.
In the message, Zhuo Xiao recalled their first time in France, recalled their college time, recalled their first kiss or even the first time, and recalled their life after returning to China.
Many, many, Zhuo Xiao said that getting married is one of his most painful things, and only Jenny makes him feel happy.
He asked Jenny if she was really going to get married, and also asked her if she would come back to him.
Jenny only replied two sentences:
I don’t want to be a third party anymore.
Now I am very happy, we love each other.
In fact, Xiang Yu didn’t want to hear about Zhuo Xiao. She interrupted Li Qi: “So, what do you want to tell me?”
Li Qi shook his head: “Ge Jin has you in his heart, I know, but Xiang Yu, he has only one way to go. If that day comes, you won’t blame him?”
“Am I such an aggressive person?” Xiang Yu smiled calmly.
“of course not.”
Li Qi’s legs crossed and pointed to himself, “With us, everything has a purpose, and we need to have a plan to go on. For me, Jin Ge and I are so good and have my purpose. It’s nice to enjoy the cool under the tree.”
Halfway through the cable car, there are mountains at the foot, and he pointed at the taro: “The trees are all bald, how can you enjoy the shade?”
Li Qi was taken aback and looked at her deeply.
Obviously she was talking about serious things, but she always answered in two ways.
When she spoke, she exhaled a little bit of hoarfrost, her eyes full of determination, and she knew that the ending was not good, but she still wanted to make a breakthrough.
Xiang Yu didn’t go around the bend, and half-truth joked: “What the **** is it? For a person like you who is like a clever tongue, you have to go around such a big bend?”
Li Qi chuckled at her, clasped his fists and said, “It’s nothing, I’ll trouble you. If in the end, don’t let my Jin brother also splattered blood.”
Xiang Yu nodded coolly like a heroine: “It’s easy to talk and talk.”
When Jin Fubai called the video, she was wandering in the Guanyin Temple and showed him the statue of Guanyin behind her: “Next time you won’t come out with Li Qi and the others. Taking me and them with these activities is too healthy. It’s better to take them. When I go to the venue, I can still have fun for a while.”
“tired?”
“Do you know how high this mountain is? Just walking to the cable car ride, I feel that my leg is about to break.”
As he said to Yu, he suddenly thought of something, “By the way, do you have anything you want to ask, I will help you bye?”
Jin Fubai looked behind her, glanced at the Buddha statue, and suddenly smiled: “That’s Guanyin.”
He is not serious, “Otherwise, you can also pay goodbye to us.”
Xiang Yu was startled.
This temple has a history of more than 500 years. She is in front of the old vermilion lacquered wood temple. The cold air is filled with the smell of incense, carved beams and pillars, and solemn treasures.
She just wandered here accidentally, and when she heard his words, she looked at the statue behind her in panic.
“…What are you talking nonsense, what should I do if I heard it seriously?” Xiang Yu lowered his voice and trot with his mobile phone, for fear that the Guanyin behind him would really hear it.
Jin Fubai’s face was full of affection. He didn’t realize that there was anything wrong with him, and laughed at her: “What’s wrong with you? Isn’t it right?”
Jin Fubai didn’t mean to come back for a while near the New Year’s Eve. His parents were also busy, and Aunt Chen was still helping with the children in his hometown.
Xiang Yudu was ready to celebrate the New Year alone, but a few days before the new year, he received a call from Tang Yuchi.
Young Master Tang said that his grandmother was celebrating the New Year at his house today, and the old lady was willing to play mahjong, and asked Xiang Yu if he would go on New Year’s Eve, if he wanted to play mahjong with them, and stay together.
Speaking of the old man, Xiang Yu inevitably thinks of Jin Fubai’s grandmother.
She had never seen him speaking in Cantonese with such a modest face and making phone calls.
There are still a few days before the New Year, and Jin Fubai may be back.
You can’t let him spend the New Year in Li Ju’s place.
Thinking of this, she decisively rejected Tang Yuchi: “No, your card skills are so bad. I won’t be embarrassed to take it after playing cards at your house. It’s good for me to order takeaways by myself. Don’t bother me.”
“Fart, are you waiting for Jin Fubai to accompany you?”
The screen of the phone that was talking was lit up, and there was another call coming in. It only rang once, and when she saw it, the other side had already hung up.
Tang Yuchi’s voice kept flowing: “Your godmother and father miss you, and they want to make braised pork ribs for you.”
The phone shook again, and information came in.
It’s Jin Fubai.
[Let parents withdraw from the project, hurry up. 】
Xiang Yu stared at the message, but didn’t react for a while.
There were Korean dramas in the room, and Tang Yuchi was still talking on the phone. She called out the information and read it again. Inexplicably, she felt Jin Fubai’s eagerness.
She can no longer remember how she told Tang Yuchi when she hung up the phone. All she knows is that she called her father with unprecedented seriousness and asked him to return today’s bid.
Of course Xiang’s father refused, and Xiang’s mother answered the phone over there, wanting to communicate with her.
Xiang Yu had a cold voice and repeatedly questioned: “Dad really doesn’t know why he was selected by the world’s top 100 companies for bidding? Would it be unreasonable if I asked you to withdraw? When did I make unreasonable trouble with you in 22 years? What? Have you ever been wayward to you? Even once?”
After that day, Xiang Yu never received another message from Jin Fubai, nor did she take the initiative to contact him.
Occasionally I clicked on his dialog box, and I could see that he called her parents “dad” and “mother”. Knowing that he was short of time, he saved the number of words.
But Xiang Yu was more willing to take it, he wanted to call it that way.
When the company is on holiday, the streets are full of Chinese New Year, with lights and festoons, joy and joy.
Huge Spring Festival couplets and horse-patterned electronic window grilles are hung on the malls, all red everywhere.
Xiang Yu stayed alone at Jin Fubai’s house and watched Korean dramas. Fortunately, this year, the takeaway software has been developed, and she can also order fried noodles while watching Korean dramas.
The sauce of Korean-style fried noodles is black. She was eating her mouth full of sauce when she heard the key ring at the door.
When raising his eyes, Jin Fubai was standing by the door.
Unexpectedly, he would come back on New Year’s Eve. Xiang Yu was at a loss for a moment, and quickly put his chopsticks and ran over: “You don’t want to come back soon, I only ordered a serving of fried noodles…”
It was New Year’s Eve in 2014, and a lot of things happened that year.
A taxi software has changed the traditional taxi mode. Before that, many small restaurants in Imperial City had taxi-hailing numbers printed on the napkin boxes. You can call the platform to get cheap rentals. The popularization of taxi-hailing software has overwhelmed taxi-hailing. The platform has indeed made life more convenient.
An electronic trading company went public in Newtown, setting a record for the largest IPO in foreign history, even surpassing Facebook, becoming the world’s second-largest Internet company by market value.
But Jin Fubai stood at the entrance with a touch of fatigue on his face. He raised his hand and wiped off the sauce on the yam’s mouth: “It’s New Year’s Eve anyway, just eat this?”
“I also ordered fried chicken and beer, and crayfish…”
Jin Fubai finally smiled. He held her on the back of his neck, suddenly pressed the person into his arms, and then hung his head and kissed her lips.
The employees of the companies under the group are still counting year-end rewards and looking forward to the new year, but many things in the group have been unable to recover.
He has countless insurmountable dilemmas right now, she knows.
They will face many difficulties, she also knows.
But he tiptoed to Taro and gently wrapped Jin Fubai’s neck: “Jin Fubai, Happy New Year.”
He smiled and said, “Happy New Year.”
