When He Smiles - Chapter 43

In the shop, Chi Zheng was sitting on a chair and smoking a cigarette.

From time to time, he handed the cigarette to his mouth and took a sip, then held it in his hand. His brows were half-twisted, and his eyes were dark. After smoking a cigarette, he took another cigarette in his mouth. Just about to go, press the lighter for a while. Then pin the cigarette behind your ears and turn on the computer.

The screen code is ever-changing.

He was busy all morning, and it was half past twelve to check the time. He stretched and went to the table to get his phone, and was about to call Meng Shengnan. Chen Si’s call came first, and he immediately answered it.

“mom.”

Chen Si asked: “Have you eaten?”

Chi Zheng: “Eat it later.”

Chen Si asked again: “Are you busy now?”

“what’s happenin?”

Chen Sizhuo pondered: “I’m thinking that today is a good day. Would you like to call Sheng Nan and sit down?”

Chi Zheng smiled and touched the cigarette in his mouth.

“I brought her back this afternoon, do you think it is?”

Chen Si said with a smile and hung up. Thinking about it again, the words ‘bring her back’ are obviously meaningful. She couldn’t sit still at home, so she ran to the kitchen to cook. Chi Zheng was lighting a cigarette while dialing it to Meng Shengnan. There is the standard Mandarin of “The phone you dialed is turned off, please call again later.”

He gave a ‘tsk’ and threw the phone on the table.

At that time, Meng Shengnan and Xiao Hang were sitting on the floor of her room and playing cool running, and there were always all kinds of messy advertisements for buying gold coins popping up. She was afraid that Xiao Hang would accidentally make a mistake and turned on the flight mode. The ceremony came in and asked her if she had packed up, the train at 2:30. Meng Shengnan stood up listlessly and patted his butt.

“I went to bring a few more clothes.” Said the ceremony.

Meng Shengnan raised his eyebrows.

“Why do you bring so much?”

“Could it be that you want to be back in two or three days?”

Meng Shengnan blinked, but there was nothing to say. She packed up her clothes in silence, then ran to the ceremony room to take a few pieces of Xiaohang’s, and finally filled the entire trolley case. The ceremony took a look at the time and said: “Go out now and make a call.”

She was a little tired.

“Sister.” Meng Hang called her.

“Ok.”

The child handed her the mobile phone and Meng Shengnan put it in the bag directly. The two went out like that, and there was still a little time to arrive at the train station. Meng Shengnan found a seat and sat down with Xiao Hang. She pulled out her mobile phone and wondered how to talk to Chi Zheng.

Drifting to the ticket check.

Their carriage was full of people, men and women, old people and children. Meng Shengnan likes to take the train, and people from all over the world take a train to a certain direction. When the car started, it was very lively. The world is full of attitudes. Every time someone gets off the bus with their luggage, they may never encounter it again in this life.

She looked out the window and took out her phone to dial.

Only then found out that it was always in flight mode, and turned off in a hurry. Just after returning to normal, Chi Zheng’s call came. Meng Shengnan pressed helplessly to answer, his voice sounded a little irritable, “Why is it shutting down all the time?”

Meng Shengnan vaguely explained, “I forgot to turn off the flight mode.”

“Why do you drive that?”

“Little Hang plays games.”

Chi Zheng frowned and asked, “Are you free now?”

Meng Shengnan took a deep breath, “Well, I’m about to talk to you.”

“Ok.”

Meng Shengnan: “I—”

“Ok?”

She closed her eyes, “I went to Hangzhou.”

“Hangzhou?”

“Well, look at my grandma.”

Chi Zheng frowned, “When?”

“It’s on the train.”

Chi Zheng didn’t say a word for a long time.

Meng Shengnan slowly probed: “You, did you listen?”

He said ‘um’, neither salty nor indifferent.

“I wanted to tell you last night, but then I forgot.”

She finished speaking slowly and waited for him to speak.

“Forget until now?” He said faintly.

She subconsciously ‘huh? ’Stopped.

Chi Zheng laughed and hummed, “Aren’t you going to say if I call?”

“No.”

“what is that?”

“I’m calling to talk to you.”

When she said the last few words, the voice became smaller and smaller, and Chi Zheng smiled lazily.

“Meng Shengnan.”

“Ok.”

He leisurely tossed a sentence, “I’m so skilled.”

Then he pinched the phone.

Meng Shengnan looked at the phone screen unexpectedly, bit his lip and sighed. She held her chin motionless with her palm, and Xiao Hang from the opposite side came over, “Sister, what else are you looking at if they are all hung up?”

She gritted her teeth: “You are not allowed to play games for three days.”

Xiao Hang pouted, “Why?”

Meng Shengnan squatted on the table and didn’t want to get up. The mountains outside the window were cascading and galloping past. She looked at it, and suddenly smiled. Xiao Hang was dissatisfied with her attitude and still whispered, “I didn’t make you angry.”

Hangzhou is passing by this train.

Meng Hang is bored, “Sister!”

She looked up, “What’s the matter?”

The child followed her, holding his chin and looking out the window, rolled her in a modest way, and ignored it.

Meng Shengnan: “…”

There was someone in the carriage who was persevering with the ringtone of his cell phone, Xu Wei’s Blue Lotus. The song goes with the car, and the wind does not go to the ocean. At the intersection of Fangshijie, Chi Zheng was waiting for the traffic light on his motorcycle. The girl opposite Ren Xianqi in the shop behind him looked over, and he lowered his head and smiled.

At home in twenty minutes, Chen Si waited at the door.

Chi Zheng parked his motorcycle and approached, “Why don’t you go in?”

Chen Si looked behind him, “Where is Sheng Nan?”

“She can’t come.”

“what’s happenin?”

Chi Zheng walked in, “Something is blocked.”

Chen Si said ‘oh’, after a second thought, it was wrong, and then he stopped him and asked, “Isn’t it making people angry again?”

Chi Zheng smiled, “You made a mistake this time.”

“what’s happenin?”

Chi Zheng said: “She provokes me.”

Chen Si went to pat him on the back, “Virtue.”

Chi Zheng laughed and entered the house.

Chen Si followed in, “I’m going to cook.”

Chi Zheng raised his eyebrows: “Where’s Mother Yang?”

“Her daughter is pregnant, she has to go back and take care of her.”

Chi Zheng frowned, “Then I will find another one soon.”

“Don’t, mom is in much better health now.” Chen Si walked to the kitchen and turned around, “You have to be obedient.”

Chi Zheng raked his head.

At the dinner table, Chen Si mentioned it again and asked him: “What is going on with Shengnan now?”

Chi Zheng ate a big mouthful of food and his voice was vague.

“Okay.”

“Really together?” Chen Siyixi.

Chi Zheng raised his eyes, slowly chewing the vegetables, his eyes gleaming and smiling. In the afternoon, he was alone in the room, leaning on the bedside to read the meditation recording. Every time he flipped through this book, he would think of one thing. She fell from the sky early in the morning on graduation day.

Going around for six years.

Chi Zheng lay down and put the book on his face. He closed his eyes, thinking seriously. After a cup of tea was soaked underneath, he got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and he was refreshed by his own hands. When he came out, the phone was ringing, and when he saw the call, his interest was completely wiped out.

He cleaned up and went downstairs.

Chen Si embroidered flowers on the sofa and said, “Where are we going?”

“Run for a job.”

After speaking, I have left the house.

It was a small financial company, on the 17th floor of CBD-A. When Chi Zheng went there, there was already a mess of porridge inside. An acquaintance took him over for repairs, and by the way asked how he was doing. Chi Zheng simply responded, “That’s it.”

“Just your technology, didn’t you want to be bigger?”

Chi Zheng smiled lightly.

“I look at the bus.” He said after a while.

There was a hacker attack on the computer, and he stole it for more than half an hour. Then the Trojan horse was hit, and an acquaintance asked: “Is this all right?”

Chi Zheng explained: “If it is attacked again, the Trojan will start a counterattack.”

Acquaintances are not experts, they seem to understand but do not understand.

He walked out of the company after he was busy with his backpack. The corridor was neither long nor short. Chi Zheng walked out, but before the end, his eyes swept to the side inadvertently. There is an office with its door open, and there is a closed-circuit television on the wall. A press conference of a company’s new software was playing above, and his black eyes shrank.

Then lift your foot down the stairs.

When he reached the eleventh floor, he stopped and lit a cigarette against the wall.

Two years ago, he devoted himself to writing software programs, but in the end he made a dowry for others, and suffered heavy debts. He laughed at himself and smoked nearly half a pack of cigarettes after a while. The setting sun shone in from the small window at the corner of the stairs, and the shadow was looming.

Chi Zheng found out that there was a missed one after touching out the phone.

When he called, Meng Shengnan was taking a shower. Grandma knocked on the door and said there was a phone call, and handed her the phone through the door. Meng Shengnanguang turned off the shower while naked, and wiped his hands with a towel. She wanted to call him when she arrived in Hangzhou, and it was her fault. Now he called, she drew back, and hesitated to answer.

“Ready to admit your mistake?”

He asked at the beginning.

Meng Shengnan was taken aback, “Huh?”

“Does that miss me?”

Meng Shengnan’s face was shy, Chi Zheng smiled lightly.

“Are you at your grandma’s house?” He asked aloud after a while.

Meng Shengnan said: “It’s been a long time.”

“Ok.”

Meng Shengnan wrapped herself in a bath towel and asked, “Are you in the store?”

“Ok.”

He flicked the soot, and said casually: “I’m idle.”

She ‘oh’.

Suddenly someone spoke at the top of the stairs, and Meng Shengnan’s hearing was blurred. She thought that there were customers in the store, so she had to hang up. Chi Zheng called her, Meng Shengnan asked, “What’s wrong?”

Chi Zheng: “Let’s talk about it later.”

“But in your shop—”

“Don’t worry.”

Meng Shengnan hesitated and asked, “Are you in a bad mood?”

Chi Zheng slowly raised his eyes and looked at the pale white wall opposite.

“No.”

Meng Shengnan said ‘oh’.

“What are you doing now?” he asked.

Meng Shengnan saw his body through the misty glass, and didn’t know what to say. While he was thinking about it, she suddenly sneezed, and she rubbed her nose nerdly.

Chi Zheng chuckled, “Bath?”

She was taken aback, “How do you know?”

“Guess it.”

He smirked, but Meng Shengnan didn’t say a word.

“Know what I think now?”

Meng Shengnan asked: “What?”

Chi Zheng was silent, as if seeing her from the wall. His wet hair was draped on his back and his body was naked. She has a very soft breast and can be held in one palm. His eyes were dodging, his cheeks flushed. Chi Zheng moved his Adam’s apple unnaturally, and vomited in his mouth.

“Fuck you.”

The author has something to say: “The ground is full of sixpence, but he looked up and saw the moon.” This sentence is related to the British writer Maugham’s “The Moon and Sixpence”. It means that everyone longs for the’moon’, but not everyone can get rid of the’sixpence’. The former represents ideals and the latter represents reality. When Jiang Jin said this, he meant something, how should I put it. Perhaps for many people, Meng Shengnan is a better match, but she only likes Chi Zheng. Although he has nothing, clinking poorly. Perhaps to her, Chi Zheng is the ‘moon’. In fact, Jiang Jin is also taunting himself. He has been tossing all his life, what is he pursuing in the end.

I feel like I am doing Chinese reading comprehension——.
