Long Street - Chapter 40

In 2019, Xiang Yu was 28 years old this year. When he first met Jin Fubai, he was also 28 years old.

I don’t know if others are like this. Xiang Yu sometimes feels that the older he gets, the easier he feels.

Waiting for her to stand at the same age as Jin Fubai back then, even a little can’t figure it out, how hard is it to be at this age? How did he fall in love with her so obsessively?

A few years have passed by in a flash, and when I recalled the separation, I actually had to use “the year” to describe it.

But over the years, there is really little information about Jin Fubai.

She thought she was separated back then, and she would soon hear about his marriage.

I also think that such a large group is turbulent, why financial programs have to be analyzed.

But in fact, there is nothing.

Only occasionally, Xiang Yu went to Tang Yuchi’s house for dinner, and heard God’s father and mother say that a certain company had sold some of its assets because of operating difficulties.

She would guess: Is his group already selling net worth?

It’s not easy to check it when eating. After the meal, he helped the godmother wash the dishes. The name of the company was mentioned once or twice in the dining room, and Xiang Yu forgot.

I don’t know if the company that has difficulty in operation belongs to Jin Fubai’s group.

Xiang Yu could only listen to the godmother sighed in the sound of washing the dishes: “Yuchi, this child, stays for two days every year when he comes back. He doesn’t even spend the fifth day of the new year at home, so he is thinking about going abroad.”

There was a trace of melancholy on the godmother’s well-maintained face, “It’s been three years, it’s been three years. It’s not that your goddad and I don’t support him and his partner in starting a business, but no matter what, we should always go home to see it. See?”

“Godmother, I was busy at the beginning of the business, and it will be fine after two years.”

Dry the water in the porcelain dish in Yu Yu’s hand, put it in the sterilized dish rack, and said with a smile, “When he calls me again, I will help you scold him.”

She said that, but Xiang Yu knew that she couldn’t really blame it.

Because on the third day of the Lunar New Year, when Tang Yuchi was leaving, she asked, she left so early this year?

The 28-year-old Tang Yuchi still has a face of a milky dog. He was packing his luggage. He glanced up at her, and suddenly sighed: “In fact, sometimes, I feel that time flies quickly, and nothing has changed in three years… ….”

He didn’t say anything afterwards.

Xiang Yu picked it up for him in his heart, and after going out for so long, she still couldn’t forget her.

He must have lied to Ansui that year. Didn’t he not remember what it was like to love her, he just didn’t want to love her anymore.

And this year, the spring couplets are painted with golden pigs to send blessings, and the red envelopes from **** fathers and mothers received from Yu Yu, which are also printed with naive pigs.

In January, the lunar probe sent back the world’s first image of the moon’s back.

Those hazy, shallow moons and Qianli Chanjuan in the poems show uneven surfaces in front of people.

The year of “truth” begins here.

It was also this year that Xiang Yu learned about Jin Fubai for the first time.

In those few days, the first month was not out, because the company only took 5 days off during the Chinese New Year. As long as Zhou Lie was not there, the company was full of complaints and cursing.

Perhaps the employee resented too deeply and rushed to the central air-conditioning on the ceiling. Suddenly there was a problem with the heating. The office area was too cold all afternoon.

Zhou Lie went out to do errands. Xiang Yu, the “high official” and the logistics staff, first called the air-conditioning maintenance side, and she paid for it out of her own pocket and ordered a bunch of hot drinks to be delivered upstairs.

After being busy, she wore a thin woolen skirt and was almost completely frozen.

Zhou Lie’s office has an independent electric heater, and Xiang Yu’s current desk is opposite his desk. He didn’t feel warm, so he simply sat in his place and felt warm.

There was an all-English newspaper on the table. He drank hot fruit tea to the taro and flipped it through. Then he saw the picture of Jin Fubai.

At this time, the company’s interns knocked on the door, and the probe came in: “Zongzhu Xiang, this is the sample of the magazine that Zhou Zong asked before. Where do I put it?”

“Just give it to me.”

The intern is called Qian Haoran, who has not graduated from university, and is only 20 years old. He still has an enviable campus atmosphere, and the sunshine is pure.

He put the magazine in front of Xiang Yu and did not leave.

Qian Haoran didn’t notice that Xiang Yu was staring blankly at the English newspaper under the magazine.

I didn’t notice that the fingers hanging on the edge of the table were slightly stiff.

He only felt that Zhou Lie was not in the room, and it was quiet enough to talk to him, so he smiled and showed his white teeth, and asked, “Zongzhu Xiang, have you watched this TV series?”

Hearing this, Xiang Yu gave the cover of the magazine a little distracted, and glanced at it.

It is a popular TV series, in which four women live together, with different personalities:

A strong woman, a rich second-generation, a woman who worships gold, and another is a love brain.

Xiang Yu faintly replied: “Look at it a little bit.”

“Which image does Xiang Zongzhu like?”

Xiang Yu finally looked away from the newspaper, thinking of her emotional regrets, she suddenly smiled: “Love the brain.”

“Huh? I thought you would like strong women, just like you do now.”

Qian Haoran said more today, and suddenly said, “They all said that you, you and Mr. Zhou are related. I don’t think it is. This is discrimination against capable women in the workplace. You must rely on your own strength. Sitting in this position, they will be jealous of you…”

Xiang Yu suddenly smiled and interrupted him: “Qian Haoran? Why did you tell me this?”

The door of the office was half open, and the young boy who had not graduated was standing at his desk, his eyes open.

He was wearing a suit, his ears and neck were slowly reddening, and he paused for half a second before he said: “I always think you are fine.”

The boy in front of him was nervous and a little overwhelmed. He raised his hand and scratched his head. As if making a decision, he let out a sigh of relief: “I like you very much.”

Said to Taro faintly, and pointed to his watch: “It’s working time. These words shouldn’t appear in this time period.”

Those green, hopeful eyes slowly dimmed, and they fell silent.

She continued to smile and raised her right hand: “And I am wearing a ring, not Zhou Lie in your mouth, but also other men, are you right?”

Qian Haoran was startled, first apologized, then bowed his head and walked out.

Zhou Lie, who had returned from the outside, walked to face him, but he left without saying hello.

Zhou Lie stepped into the office and hung his coat on the hanger: “The intern who was interesting to you was finally hit?”

Xiang Yu didn’t talk about this with Zhou Lie, and picked up the English newspaper on his desk: “I will pay you back after reading it.”

She didn’t take out the newspaper at the company, but stuffed it into her bag.

Because Xiang’s father and mother were in China this time, she went back to live in her own home after get off work.

When she entered the door, she didn’t hear what Aunt Chen said, she just went back to the bedroom with her bag on her back, and closed the door like a thief.

I thought that when I reached this age, my heartbeat would no longer accelerate, but it turned out not to be.

Inhaled deeply into Yu, and took out the newspaper from the bag.

The photo is very blurry, and it’s a sneak shot at first glance.

And this media is too courageous, such a squishy photos, they still have to mosaic.

It can only be seen that it was Jin Fubai and Chu Linlang, sitting at a table for dinner.

Xiang Yu didn’t even take off his coat. He sat on the carpet and read the newspaper for a long time.

The mood gradually calmed down.

She wanted to get excited, but her English level didn’t allow her, and she couldn’t understand what was written.

The second image is a manuscript photo of the diamond ring.

Xiang Yu turned out the English dictionary that was idle during school, and worked hard for a long time with translation, before he could understand the content of the newspaper.

To the effect:

Jin Fubai was photographed eating with Chu Linlang, and according to people familiar with the matter, he had found a well-known jewelry designer four years ago and ordered a priceless diamond ring.

All the jewelry designs of this designer will display the design drafts and finished products on the personal social platform, and will also mention the ultimate owner of the jewelry.

There is only one pink diamond ring, not marked.

In the past few years, the Chu family and the group have cooperated very closely, so everyone has speculated that Jin Fubai had been secretly married to Chu Linlang four years ago.

The report was well-founded, saying that Jin Fubai was low-key, and when his grandmother was alive, he didn’t even want to have a real job.

Hidden marriage is like something he can do.

Xiang Yu fixed his gaze on the diamond ring manuscript, remembering a past event.

When they were with Jin Fubai, they watched many movies, and among these movies, there are not few movies about diamond jewelry.

Diamonds are like a permanent romantic element, frequently appearing in film and television works.

Xiang Yu remembered Jin Fubai for a while, because she said casually, always thinking of making her a blue diamond necklace like “Heart of the Sea”.

Until later, they watched the uncut version of “Lust. Caution” together.

This movie is full of controversy, and the evaluation is divided into two levels. I don’t know where Jin Fubai got it, but every frame is very clear.

Now think about it, maybe that CD is the original version of that year.

They cuddled together that day, leaning on the bed, looking at the large-scale picture in the picture.

Xiang Yu could feel Jin Fubai’s reaction, fearing that he would come up and interrupt her watching the movie, so he could only look back at him warningly, then turned his head and sank back into the plot of the movie.

Jin Fubai was also kind, and never bothered her.

Xiang Yu watched the movie seriously, and then cried again.

The male protagonist played by Tony Leung is a spy leader, commonly known as the traitor leader.

The heroine played by Tang Wei is an undercover man waiting for an opportunity to kill him.

It shouldn’t be emotional, it shouldn’t be.

It shouldn’t be worse than she and Jin Fubai.

But on the day when the heroine notified the hero to encircle and suppress the hero, the hero gave her a pink diamond ring—

“I’m not interested in diamonds, I just want to see it in your hand.”

The hostess looked at him suspiciously, struggling.

When he lowered his eyes for a long while, when he raised his eyes again, the dust settled softly in his eyes.

Her lips were shaking, and she told him softly, hurry up.

In this plot, Xiang Yu frowned and choked with tears.

Jin Fubai was by her side, fiddled with her earlobes, and said to her, “This diamond ring is in a good style. May I buy you one too?”

She blamed him for not watching the movie well, which spoiled the moving atmosphere, looked back and bit his shoulder.

He smiled and put his hand in and glanced at the TV screen: “Did you finish? Do something else?”

The past is vivid, rubbing the rough edges of the newspaper to the taro, looking at the photo of the diamond ring manuscript.

Much like the diamond ring in the movie, the main diamonds are pink diamonds with broken diamonds.

Because it contains a lot of mechanical wood pulp, newspapers have a special touch, not as smooth as books.

The ink faintly diffused with the heating in the room, she thought, would he really buy such a diamond ring for Chu Linlang?

Hidden marriage may not be possible, because his low-key nature is absolutely false.

He did everything by his will or not. Back then, he only held a ticket, swaggered against the eyes of everyone, pulled her into the orchestra venue, and let her sit on his lap to watch the performance. Such a thing was not uncommon. Over.

Diamond ring…

Xiang Yu was completely insomniac, and called Tang Yuchi, who was far away in a foreign country.

It was wee hours on his side after the jet lag, and Young Master Tang answered the phone angrily: “Xiang Yu, if you have nothing important, do you believe me if I killed you?!”

She did not argue with Tang Yuchi, she was full of melancholy: “I read a foreign language newspaper today, and it said that Jin Fubai was married and bought a pink diamond and diamond ring for Chu Linlang. But the style of the diamond ring is clear. I like it, why did he buy it to her? You say, how could he do this?”

In that tone, it was as if they had never separated, and she only called her boyfriend one day to make a complaint.

There was a long silence on the phone, and Tang Yuchi’s unbelievable voice came: “You took the wrong medicine? You have been separated for four years, four years, you will not start to feel sad?!”

“Maybe my reaction is slow…”

Tang Yuchi rarely has such a serious tone: “Forget it, don’t think about it, love is the most important thing. There are not so many people who eventually get married, in the middle of the night, you don’t want to be horny.”

Xiang Yu was dissatisfied with this answer: “Who wants to hear you say this kind of poisonous chicken soup?”

“…Then what do you want to hear? Listen to me saying that his love for you is unswerving to the death?”

Xiang Yu said, “Yeah, right, otherwise, why should I call you?”

Tang Yuchi sighed on the phone, and then said: “Maybe it is true until death. I also heard about it a while ago. Gossip, I’m afraid it’s not true, so I didn’t tell you.”

The trail gossip that Tang Yuchi said was about Jin Fubai.

He said that Jin Fubai was asked by his elders at a dinner in front of Chu Linlang, did you order a diamond ring for engagement? Why don’t you get it and give it to Miss Chu now?

Jin Fubai stared at Chu Linlang for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, “I lost it.”

This story was not believed by Yu. She and Tang Yuchi said: “Jin Fubai would not be like that. He would not stare at Chu Linlang.”

Tang Yuchi might be furious, and hung up the phone directly.

In fact, Xiang Yu was only momentarily bored and melancholy. He didn’t really want to know Jin Fubai’s whereabouts.

She even thought jokingly, maybe Jin Fubai really ordered a pink diamond ring, and maybe that ring was given to Li Qi.

When spring came again, Xiang Yu packed his clothes and found a windbreaker jacket that had been kept in dust for a long time in the cabinet.

She only wore this coat once. Jin Fubai insisted on buying it for her. It was very expensive. Wearing a cloth that looked like a renminbi woven fabric, she was always afraid of dripping oil when eating.

Xiang Yu thought for a while and decided to send the clothes to dry cleaning.

Before leaving the house, Aunt Chen asked her: “Taro, don’t you have breakfast? This is bad for your health.”

Fearing to make Aunt Chen worry, she took off the high heels she had worn, sat at the dining table, and ate a bowl of dragon beard noodles obediently.

Swallowing the thin noodles and thinking about taro, it seems that people older than her call her “Taro”.

Only Jin Fubai always calls her full name affectionately in an ambiguous voice.

It was as if there was a premonition in the dark. They had been separated for a long time that year, but she frequently thought of him.

The windbreaker is too expensive to find a dry cleaner.

Xiang Yu held the paper bag with the windbreaker, as if holding a bag of cash, found the most expensive dry cleaner nearby, and brought the windbreaker in.

The dry cleaner needs to register the name and phone number. When filling in the taro chuitou, the clerk heard a long “Huh—”.

She was still immersed in the thinking of “the signature is not beautiful enough”, and when she looked up, she saw the clerk’s expression in a daze.

The clerk carefully held a pink diamond ring in his hand, like a hot potato, and looked at her: “Miss Xiang, remember to take away the things in your pockets.”

That pink diamond is bigger than the six-carat diamond ring in the movie.

It refracted the spring light outside the window and made people’s eyes hurt.

Suddenly, he remembered to Yu that Jin Fubai insisted on buying this dress for her a few days before they separated.

Xiang Yu was not happy when he had new clothes. He talked about him for a long time on the way back. He complained about his prodigal family, said he was a spender, and said that even a banknote printing factory was not enough for him to waste.

At that time, he must have felt that the separation was imminent, so he bought such expensive clothes.

Actually it wasn’t for her, it was just used to put down the diamond ring.

Jin Fubai was betting that she would have such a stingy character that she would not throw away the clothes if she lost anything.

Xiang Yu looked at the diamond ring, as if he saw a joke made by Jin Fubai over the years.

After many years, he laughed badly, and there are even more prodigal ones, hidden in his pockets, little fool, didn’t he expect it?

She took the ring and put it on. This time, he didn’t mistake her size.

With a cool touch, the platinum ring is placed on the ring finger, not too big or too small.
