Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Purple Lips

Lu Chen'er loves her good friend Tianchi deeply, but doesn't like her name. Lu Yue didn't like it either. He said: "As the name suggests, people are too cold and lonely, too proud, and completely disdain to associate with the world. It doesn't work." But he was attracted by the owner of this cold and beautiful name, and vowed not to give up until he won her heart. Chen'er persuaded her elder brother: "Forget it, you don't think there are too many Yingying and Yanyan around you?" Lu Yue replied: "But none of them is called Ji Tianchi."

"Honestly, are you pursuing Sister Ji because she is Tianchi, or because you are Lu Yue?" "What nonsense? I don't understand." Chen'er walked around in front of her brother, forcing him to meet her eyes: "I mean, do you want to 'pursue' Sister Ji, or to 'conquer' Sister Ji?" Lu Yue simply closed his eyes: "I don't even understand." He recalled the first time he saw Tianchi: It was just summer, but the weather was unbearably hot. My younger sister went shopping with my parents, and he was at home alone, very bored, playing karaoke and singing loudly on the guitar, deliberately Make the hot weather even hotter.When the doorbell rang, he didn't pay attention to it. He opened the door without thinking about it when some buddy asked him to go swimming. Only when he saw a strange girl standing outside the door did he realize that he was still alive. Shirtless, he couldn't help being embarrassed. He who was always eloquent suddenly became dumb.

However, the girl didn't take it at all, her clear eyes seemed to see nothing, she smiled lightly, and said calmly, "I'm Ji Tianchi, you are Lu Yue." She was very confident. Like a gust of wind blowing.Lu Yue suddenly felt that the heat had disappeared. As a photographer, he is used to the exaggeration of female models, and Tianchi's understatement makes him feel fresh and new. She was definitely not pretty, but he was stunning nonetheless. Her attitude is so calm and generous, as if she is facing a well-dressed gentleman; her smile is so light and watery, it disappears before it can be caught, leaving only a layer of ripples as real as illusion.Although the two people face each other and are close at hand, it feels like they are far away in the sky.

Never seen a girl more like water than she is. cold water. Fluid and clear. At that moment, Lu Yue already knew that he would never let Tianchi go. At that moment, he felt that all the girls he had been friends with in the past were suddenly blurred. At that moment, he hated his sister Chen'er almost every day. Introduce yourself. He couldn't help thinking absentmindedly: This is the so-called "love at first sight" in the movie, right? However, that day, Tianchi just came to say goodbye to Chen'er. She left Dalian the next day and went to Guangzhou. She didn't give Lu Yue a chance to see her again, but Lu Yue couldn't forget her.

It's just a glimpse, but her white figure has already been frozen in my heart. I'm afraid that he will be turned into ashes in a hundred years, and every speck of dust will still retain the memory of that moment. Today, Chen'er told him that Tianchi finally decided to come back.Although he knew that her return was not for him, but for the outdated groom Wu Zhou who had turned into a vegetable, he still felt that his chance had come. Chen'er came back from the hospital that day, with a pale face, repeating a sentence in his mouth: "Wu Zhou has become a vegetable, sister Ji will cry to death, Wu Zhou has become a vegetable, sister Ji must cry to death gone."

From Chen'er, he learned the story of Tianchi and Wu Zhou—— That year, she was nine years old and he was seventeen. While talking and laughing, he put on lipstick for her for the first time. It is purple, bright and seductive. It seems to have some kind of magic power.The little girl who was just nine years old turned into a seductive elf in an instant. Looking at her reborn self in the mirror, she felt dizzy. That was the first time she put on lipstick, that was the first time she saw him, and since then, she has identified him for the rest of her life. Years later, she still clearly remembered that the brand of that lipstick was called "Estee Lauder".

It was just an old-fashioned story of an ordinary little girl secretly in love with her neighbor's brother, but because it happened to Tianchi, it felt thrilling. Lu Yue's theory of love has always come and gone quickly. Regarding secret love, he has never tried it, and even if he has longed for Tianchi, he doesn't feel any pain.A person can secretly love another person for thirteen years without letting the other person know. He feels that this is the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in the last century, and it should not happen today.Once it happens, it is immediately upgraded to a legend.The characters in legends are often novel and enviable by ordinary people.

"How soul-stirring." He said, his admiration for Tianchi became even stronger. Chen'er didn't think so: "Sweet? Treating suffering as beauty, that's what scholars say. Anyway, in the novelist's writing, no matter how long the days are, it's just a flick of a finger. As long as it can make people cry, they don't hesitate to seek novelty and seek differences. But putting it on the person concerned is not easy, let alone thirteen years, there are 365 days in a year, and 24 hours in a day, every minute and every second must be passed, how can it be so easy?"

"Isn't it easy?" Lu Yue returned to his true nature of smiling face, and he was about to make jokes as he talked, "Aren't you and the little lunatic also respecting each other like a guest for more than ten years?" "How is that like? There is no love between us." "No love? Then what are you guys now? Aren't you in love?" "Yes, we are talking, but we are not in love." Chen'er suddenly felt melancholy. The so-called "little lunatic" refers to her childhood sweetheart boyfriend Xu Feng. The two have been dating for a while, and they can be called acquainted and respectful each other. According to the order of their parents, the two adults have long recognized them as a pair of mandarin ducks who could not be separated from each other.But Chen'er always felt that there was something missing in their relationship, what was it?

Coincidentally, a whistle sounded downstairs at this time.Chen'er was surprised: "Xiaofeng is here?" Pushing open the window, Xu Feng was standing downstairs looking up, Xu Feng was in a hurry on a hot day, his face was flushed with sweat, and he tried his best to look up. The way he bowed his head looked extraordinarily childishly infatuated. Chen'er felt a little soft-hearted.No wonder Juliet in the story lives upstairs. "Xiaofeng, you said you would study at home today." Xu Feng was ashamed: "The air conditioner in my house is broken, and it's too hot to sit still, so I just wanted to read a book here."

Lu Yue smiled "ha": "Isn't that even hotter? Why do you still read 'books'? Heroes are sad and beautiful. If you don't read them, you will definitely 'lose'." Xu Feng was stunned: "Brother Yue, what did you say?" Chen'er had pulled him into the study earlier, wiped the table and stools, made tea and water, and then said: "Okay, the tea is ready, and the air conditioner is turned on, so you can read here." Without waiting for his objection, he closed the door behind him. Xu Feng was taken aback again, swallowed, wanted to say something but didn't say it, took a sip of tea resentfully, opened the book and read it with restraint. Lu Yue made faces at his sister, threatening: "Knowing that the little lunatic is just an excuse to read a book, but in fact, it is to see you, but you are playing tricks and tricks? You force the little lunatic to work hard every day, and you really drive him crazy. At that time I regret telling my husband-in-law to look for 'crazy' Hou." Chen'er wrinkled her nose: "What else should I do? That year when he was taking the postgraduate entrance examination, he lost his standard because of a cold and a fever. His mother insisted that he was distracted by chasing girls. In fact, we hadn't formally talked at that time. He scolded him for a year. This time he took the TOEFL test, his mother watched him more closely than ever, and if he failed the test, he would scold me again for disregarding the overall situation and knowing how to seduce her son so that he valued sex over fame." Lu Yue corrected his color and acted like an unfounded worry: "Ah, when you get married in the future, his mother will let him be elected as the top ten young people, and be rated as a first-level professor. If he can't get in, why not force his son to issue a letter of divorce and divorce you?" "In the future? Who guarantees that I will marry him in the future? Is there any chance for my mother to make my son divorce?" "Not to marry? Are you willing? My childhood sweetheart, my childhood sweetheart." "You still say?" Chen'er feigned anger, bent her ten fingers into a cat shape, and let out a threatening sound of "Woooo". Lu Yue always said that his younger sister was a cat spirit in her previous life, and whenever she got angry, she would stare and puff her cheeks, but she had no beard to blow off, otherwise she would look like a fierce female cat.And the most important tool for fighting against the elder brother is the tip of the ten fingers. Wherever they go, the ten scratches are as thin as a cat's claw.At this moment, seeing her younger sister acting like an angry kitten again, she immediately hung up the exemption card: "Don't don't, count me as wrong, count me as loser!" Chen'er was proud, and let out a victorious "meow meow", and the brother and sister laughed together. It was dawn, but Pei Linglong's tears were still wet. She had been crying by Wu Zhou's bed all night.The only wish is that the sky never rises again, then it will all be just a nightmare. Having been in love with Wu Zhou for two years, the heart of this handsome prodigal son is not so easy to win.When some men hear that they have the opportunity to become a student companion, they would like to fly all over their bodies to become a driver and cook in exchange for the opportunity, but Wu Zhou is not such a person. It was she who chased him, tried her best, graduated from graduate school, both talented and beautiful, innocent in family background and an only daughter, all kinds of conditions were not working, until she cooked the kitchen herself and resorted to the old trick of washing hands and making soup. He impresses. Seeing that he was about to tie the knot and fly together, but a catastrophe struck him. He was healthy and unrestrained yesterday, but now he was lying on the hospital bed, becoming a vegetative person with only breathing but no consciousness. Vegetative! What a cruel and unreasonable word! Plants are plants.People are people.How can it be confused? But Wu Zhou is obviously a living person, but at this moment he has turned into a cold and calm plant. How can Linglong, who is about to become the bride of the Wu family and a student studying abroad, accept it? She knelt at the feet of the attending physician, Dr. Lu, and begged bitterly: "Please save him again, make sure to wake him up, I want to marry him, we are going to have a wedding!" Just today!Originally, she was going to be a bride in a white wedding dress today.But fate made her stay in the ward, completely white. It's white, but it's not a wedding dress, no! All the people present were in tears, even the well-informed Dr. Lu felt sad, but still shook his head helplessly: "We have tried our best, his brain was congested a lot, it is not easy for us to save his life. If you want to remove all the accumulated blood, you can only wait for his own body to absorb it, so it is not impossible for him to wake up, but the time cannot be determined, it depends on the patient's own resistance and regeneration ability." Mother Wu was the first to burst into tears.In the past few days, she dared not close her eyes. As soon as she became dim, she saw her son standing in front of him, waving goodbye with a smile on his face.In the dream, she thought, her son is about to board the plane.Haven't they already completed the formalities for going abroad?Probably today? However, the son's smile, as if he left and never came back, carried an indescribable sadness, which made Mama Wu's heart sore, it was obviously a happy thing, why did she want to cry so much? I was also crying in my dream, saying: "Zhou, go early and return early." As soon as the words came out, the person also woke up, and the tears could not help but flow out.Son, you are still alive, but where did Hun'er go?Why don't you come back? Now that the doctor clearly confirmed her son's long sleep, she couldn't stand it any longer, and wept bitterly, ignoring the public's gaze. Linglong's parents are also here. This is a very standard intellectual couple. The clothes they wear, the glasses they wear, and the appropriate tears and sorrows all mark their identities like labels. They are a pair of middle school teachers who are exemplary. teacher.It is very difficult for them to understand that the daughter is both talented and beautiful, but choose a handsome young man without a proper job as her husband, but they are civilized and enlightened modern parents after all. Attitude reluctantly agreed to the marriage.However, now that something happened to their son-in-law suddenly, they feel that they can no longer stand by and watch, but have the responsibility to make choices for their daughter, and they can no longer let it go. They greeted Wu Zhou's situation with gentle concern, sighed a few times, and greeted just right, and then used the teacher's persuasive skills and simple language to explain their intentions. The most important thing is to start as usual. Old Mr. Wu nodded silently, but Ms. Wu was somewhat displeased. She felt that if something happened to her son, the daughter-in-law should of course be by her side. How could she be so cruel and let go.But looking at the unconscious son and Linglong who was out of breath from crying, he felt that it was inconvenient to say angry words, so he kept wiping his tears with a handkerchief. Linglong just cried and said nothing to leave Wu Zhou's bed. Until today, the ticket had expired, Pei Linglong's parents packed her luggage and passport for her, and drove her to the hospital.Linglong held Wu Zhou's hand firmly, and kept saying, "Wu Zhou, wake up, our plane is about to depart, get up and go with me!" Crying so much that both parents shed tears. Old Mr. Wu was heartbroken, but still rational, he helped Linglong and said: "Girl, since you have called me daddy, I will treat you as my own daughter, and I have to think about you. Zhou'er is already like this, you Even if he stays, he doesn't know when he will wake up, or if he will wake up. He probably has nothing to hope for, and I don't want to delay you any longer. You have finally completed the formalities for going abroad, and the air tickets have come out. This time No, I don’t know if you will be able to leave in the future. Although you have already obtained the marriage certificate, the wedding has not yet been held. Our Zhouer is unlucky. In my opinion, this marriage does not need to be counted. If you are abroad in the future Meet the right…” Before she finished speaking, Linglong had already cried so much that she almost died, she grabbed Mr. Wu's hand and said, "Dad, I called your father, and she is your daughter-in-law. I have already obtained a certificate with Wu Zhou. He is my husband, and I am his wife. It doesn’t matter whether the wedding is held or not. I will definitely wait for him. If he doesn’t wake up, I won’t think about other people. When he wakes up, when will I Have a make-up wedding with him. I am his man after all, and it will never change." Linglong's parents also felt heartbroken, but after all, it was their daughter's future that mattered, so they had to grit their teeth and urge: "Linglong, the plane doesn't wait for anyone, if you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up." Dalian Zhoushuizi Airport. It was just four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early before the plane landed. Lu Yue held a large bouquet of flowers, took advantage of the waiting time to sharpen his guns, and kept asking his sister for information: "Will Tianchi like these flowers?" "Yes, Tianchi's favorite is the bird of paradise. It's just that at this time, I'm afraid she can't see any flowers. Brother, you just call it 'beautiful eyes for the blind'. Tianchi's eyes are not at all Can't see you." Lu Yue was not convinced: "It's useless to talk about my brother like this. I don't even ask who your brother is?" "Of course I know, you are a beautiful woman, resourceful, talented, outstanding in gambling skills, suave, and invincible in all love scenes." Lu Yue was suspicious: "Are you talking about me?" "I'm talking about Wei Xiaobao." Lu Yue was resentful, and asked again after a while: "What do you think is Tianchi's favorite thing?" "Book." Chen'er didn't think about it. "Then what are you most afraid of?" "wind." "wind?" "wind." "How could it be the wind?" "It's just the wind." "The wind has wrinkled a pool of spring water, what's the matter with you?" Lu Yue suddenly began to make a fuss. But Chen'er didn't speak any more, and looked into the distance, remembering the situation of sending Tianchi to the plane here a year ago. It was also summer, they had just graduated, and the assignment notice hadn't been issued yet, Tianchi couldn't wait to suspend their jobs without pay.Of course the school refused to agree, so Tianchi simply broke the boat, gave up the allocation and went south alone to Guangzhou.At that time, Chen'er was on vacation at her aunt's house in Qingdao. When she heard about Tianchi's plan, she borrowed 500 yuan from her aunt and took a taxi from Qingdao overnight to Dalian.I called Tianchi's house, but no one answered, I knew she had probably gone to the airport.I was busy and dialed to the airport information office. Fortunately, there were still two hours before the plane took off, and the ticket should not be checked yet.So we turned around and drove to the airport. In the noisy and bustling crowd in the airport hall, Ji Tianchi, dressed in white, was particularly eye-catching. A loneliness that couldn't be concealed emanated from her body, as if she was separated from the people around by a wall. Chen'er recognized her effortlessly in the crowd, but she was so sad that she couldn't speak for a moment, she just stared at her from a distance and blessed her silently. No one knows Tianchi's mind better than her. When I was in college, I don't know how many times, she accompanied Tianchi by the side of the road that Wu Zhou must pass to get off work, standing for a long time, just to see him from a distance when he came out. What I saw was just the back view. So until now when Chen'er thinks of Wu Zhou, what always comes to mind is the back view: tall, handsome, with broad shoulders and thin waist, with a standard "V" upper body, a pair of long legs, and a vigorous and powerful walk. Regardless of the appearance, the back is indeed charming. So much so that when she finally saw Wu Zhou's face on the hospital bed, she felt unable to accept it. Is this the person Ji Tianchi has loved for thirteen years?How deeply he slept. In fact, as far as Tianchi is concerned, in the past thirteen years, how has he ever woken up?For thirteen years, he has appeared in Tianchi's heart and dreams all the time, controlling all her thoughts and emotions, but he himself knows nothing about it.So, when the news of his engagement was announced, her silent love finally had to come to an end, and she left, far away from Dalian, Wu Zhou, and the idea of ​​waiting for him to find him and miss him. Once you leave, it will be a year. Over the past year, they have talked on the phone at least once a week, and tried every opportunity to chat online and send emails to each other, but they never mentioned Wu Zhou.But Chen'er knew that Tianchi would never forget Wu Zhou, she knew it from the fact that she hurried back as soon as she heard that Wu Zhou was killed. From those phone calls and letters, Chen'er roughly understood how Tianchi established himself in Guangzhou step by step, from a singer in a bar to a business manager in a plate-making company.However, what kind of hardships and twists that road should be is beyond her imagination when she grew up in the ivory tower.Tianchi mostly underestimated all kinds of conflicts and struggles, and only briefly mentioned them in a joking tone afterwards, but it was enough to make her change color with horror. It was not until the beginning of this year that I finally heard that Tianchi became a business manager and had his own office and private computer.But now, for the sake of Wu Zhou, she handed over the country that had been so hard to conquer, and gently abandoned it.Just like the old poem written in the 1930s: Gently I go, just as I came gently. However, Tianchi, I left empty, just as I returned empty. Above the blue sky, a passenger plane slowly descended. Finally, the pick-up notice sounded on the loudspeaker, Chen'er dragged her elder brother to the gate of the pick-up station, just when she stood still, she saw Tianchi approaching from a distance.She was wearing a white dress that she was used to, and the corners of the skirt raised slightly as she walked. When she saw Chen'er, she quickly quickened her pace. "Sister Ji!" "Chen'er!" The two girls hugged each other with tears in their eyes.This pair of sisters, the friendship established since the freshman year, has a history of five years, and the reunion after a small farewell, and under such circumstances, can't help feeling a sense of survival after the catastrophe. Lu Yue dressed neatly today, and was more confident psychologically. He stood aside and looked at Tianchi unscrupulously.I haven't seen her for a year, and she has lost a lot of weight, her face is haggard, and her eyelids are slightly swollen.He knew clearly that the widening of the belt and the tears were not for him, but he still couldn't help feeling a little distressed.I don't know if it's because he misses her for too long, or because he loves her so much because of his sister, anyway, he doesn't feel strange to her at all. At this moment, he once again swore to himself in his heart: "I want to catch up with this girl as my wife, I must, and I will not marry unless she is!"
