Chapter 19 Chapter 19

Lei Yuzheng stayed at home for two days. On Sunday night, he called his secretary to book a plane ticket, but Shao Kaixuan suddenly said to him, "Book an extra ticket." He told him, "Your Uncle Chen's daughter is back. That girl, Yijia, is going to Shanghai tomorrow. Chen Yijia has been abroad for more than ten years, and she is not familiar with the place. When you arrive in Shanghai, you can walk with her more." He was stunned for a moment, Wei Luoxian hid beside Shao Kaixuan and made faces at him, smiling so brightly that he could only apologize, "Mom, I still have a job..."

"Then invite people to have a meal or something after work, take them around, have fun." Shao Kaixuan asked, "Are you so busy that you can't spare this little time?" Lei Yuzheng was afraid that she would get angry, so he quickly said, "Okay, okay." He hadn't seen Chen Yijia for six or seven years, and the last time he saw her was at Christmas many years ago, when she returned to China for vacation.She was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, and she only remembered that she dyed her hair red, looking like a little concubine, and he felt a headache when he thought about it.As a result, he waited for a long time at the airport, but he didn't wait for the little girl in his memory. He thought, maybe he was late?This kind of lady has no sense of time, and she has to wait. Fortunately, the ticket can be changed.

He was about to change his ticket when he suddenly heard someone behind him calling: "Lei Yuzheng!" The voice is very crisp, and I can hardly recognize it when I look back. After all, I haven’t seen her for so many years. Although Chen Yijia’s outline hasn’t changed much, her eyebrows and eyes have stretched out. She has short hair and big eyes, and wears jeans and a T-shirt. a little boy.Just smiling with bright eyes and bright teeth, there is obviously a kind of girl's tranquility, Chen Yijia is generous, "Is the security check over there?" Both of them had no luggage, but the security check was very fast.Chen Yijia was very excited and chatty. All the way she heard her gossip, from Air China's stewardess to how pretty she was, to Beijing's crab shell yellow biscuits being delicious.Her voice is clear and melodious, like the ancients described, big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate.But the big pearls and small pearls fell all the way endlessly, and Lei Yuzheng felt a faint headache.

After leaving the airport, a driver came to pick him up. He was worrying about how to arrange for the young lady, but Chen Yijia said without any pretense, "Take me to the chief's mansion, I booked a room there. My classmates are still waiting for me to go shopping together." , go about your business and leave me alone." He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, "Then I'll take care of you tomorrow night." She readily agreed: "Okay, but I don't eat Western food!" He told the secretary this sentence, and Shan Wanting was very conscientious, and reserved a table for them at a newly opened local restaurant.As a result, as soon as he entered, he saw Shangguan Boyao.Chen Yijia also saw it, "Isn't that Shangguan? Hey, he brought his girlfriend to dinner? He brought two more? That's amazing!"

Shangguan Boyao probably told some joke, which made a girl across from him laugh, while the other was drinking tea with her head down.Chen Yijia walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Shangguan!" When Shangguan Boyao turned around and saw it was her, he was both surprised and happy, "It's you? When did you come back?" "It's been half a month since I came back, and I've been at home all day in colorful clothes to entertain my relatives, and my mother finally let me out to play." Speaking of this, she lowered her voice, "But she appointed a guardian for me."

"guardian?" Chen Yijia pouted, Shangguan turned his face and saw Lei Yuzheng, he couldn't help laughing, "Lei Er, you are really getting more and more promising now." Lei Yuzheng laughed, but did not speak.But Chen Yijia was very curious about Shangguan's female companion, "This is..." "My friends, Du Xiaosu and Zou Siqi." Shangguan turned his face and introduced Du Xiaosu and Zou Siqi, "Chen Yijia, my junior." Chen Yijia smiled cutely, greeted them, and said to Lei Yuzheng: "Why don't we eat with Shangguan and the others."

Shangguan was very happy, "Come on, it's so lively to eat together. After we finish eating, let's play mahjong, and whoever loses will get supper." Chen Yijia was overjoyed, "Okay! Ever since I learned how to play mahjong with my roommate, I haven't played mahjong happily once. I finally moved and met a neighbor's wife who can also play mahjong, but unfortunately she is Japanese and only knows how to play Japanese mahjong. This It’s all right, there are still three missing one, ouch, I’m so depressed.” While talking, he greeted the waiter, “Bring the menu, order quickly, we can play cards after eating.”

Only then did Lei Yuzheng say: "What mahjong are you playing?" Chen Yijia rolled her eyes, "Singing is fine too, I'm Maiba, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch me." As a result, a group of people went to sing K after eating.Shangguan is a frequent visitor to the nightclub, so he picked the place.As soon as he entered the store, he was very beautiful. All the clients knew him. Along the way, countless assistant managers greeted him: "Are you here?" So as soon as he entered the box, Chen Yijia said: "Shangguan, we know each other so well." For many years, why didn't I know that your status in the world is so prominent?"

Shangguan looked depressed, "Don't mention it, I don't know either." "You look like a young master!" Chen Yijia smiled, "How do you say it in Cantonese?" Trying to learn Cantonese pronunciation, "Guanzai bone bones." Shangguan just picked up the glass and almost choked to death from the ice water, "Do you still know this word?" "My roommate is from Hong Kong. I learned from her." Chen Yijia joked, "Don't order Cantonese songs today. There is a young master from a Lingnan family here. If he can't sing well, he will make fun of him."

Du Xiaosu was a little surprised. After knowing Shangguan for so long, he still didn't know that he was from Cantonese, because he usually speaks authentic Beijing movies.Shangguan probably also saw her doubts, because the music was a little loud, so he turned to explain to her: "My mother is from Beijing." But Chen Yijia saw it, "Hey! Don't whisper!" He rushed to Shangguan and blinked.Shangguan rapped her on the head and said, "You are the only one with a sharp eye and a quick mouth." Chen Yijia rubbed the painful place, leaned into Lei Yuzheng's ear and whispered: "I think Miss Du must be Shangguan's girlfriend. , he took such good care of her."

Lei Yuzheng didn't speak, but Shangguan had already called out: "Hey, hey! Don't whisper!" Chen Yijia made a face at him, "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light the lamps!" Lei Yuzheng handed the microphone to her and said, "Let's sing." The microphones were twirling in the hands of the two women, leaving the two men aside.Shangguan couldn't sit still, so he took Lei Yuzheng out to get some air.Going out from the corridor is a large hanging garden with an open-air swimming pool and lounge chairs. There are rattan chairs on the side near the railing, facing the bustling night.The hustle and bustle is separated by a short distance, but it seems to be quiet in the middle of the noise.The two leaned on the railing, smoking and chatting for a while, when Shangguan suddenly remembered, "By the way, I have a friend who wants to buy a house in your company's real estate, please give me a preferential price." Lei Yuzheng said casually, "Tell him to find my secretary with your business card." "Okay." Shangguan smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "Thank you." Lei Yuzheng forgot about it the next day.He has a lot of business, but fortunately Chen Yijia is lively and active, and has many friends in Shanghai. He just takes time to accompany her to eat and shop, or occasionally take care of her, so it is easy to deal with.On the weekend, when he was working overtime in the office, Shan Wanting suddenly remembered to ask him: "By the way, Mr. Lei, Mr. Shangguan's friend brought a business card and indicated that he wanted to buy a house in Yipin Famous City. It was the one under Ms. Du's name. Because You specifically explained that this house is handled by you personally, so I only left his contact information and did not respond to him immediately." She carefully observed the boss's face, but she couldn't see anything.Usually, Lei Yuzheng never changed his expression before the landslides, and at most he would frown on big things, but today he didn't even frown, and his tone was very calm: "I see." After returning home at night, he thought about it for a while before calling Shangguan.The phone rang for a long time and no one answered it, and was about to hang up, but someone finally answered, but it was a woman, "Hello." He didn't speak. "Hello?" She asked again, "Who is this?" After waiting for a few seconds for no response, her voice seemed to be farther away, "Shangguan, no one is talking, why don't you come and pick me up." He hung up the phone. He never knew that he could hear her voice, and for two seconds he didn't seem to think about anything, just sat there.After a while, the phone suddenly vibrated and buzzed, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet room. He sat there without moving, the phone kept vibrating in the palm of his hand, like a heart, it kept vibrating, and it kept vibrating until his palms were numb, and finally he answered it. "Lei Er," Shangguan's tone was very brisk, "Did you call me just now?" He paused: "Oh, I asked you to come out for dinner." "I'm by the lake." Shangguan seemed very contented, "Come and play, we're having a barbecue again, you smell the scent... tsk tsk..." Lei Yuzheng knew that he had a mansion by the Taihu Lake, which was originally the villa of an elderly man in the Republic of China, and it was once confiscated for public use after liberation.A few years ago, it was purchased by Shangguan through auctions. Soon after, he spent huge sums of money to redecorate it, and built a swimming pool on top of the rockery in the garden, claiming that he could enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains from the swimming pool.Shangguan often called friends to spend weekends there, and a large group of people set up grills for barbecue in the garden.Because of the frequent smoke and fire, an ancient wisteria that was said to be hand-planted by celebrities in the Guangxu period of the late Qing Dynasty was actually smoked to death. Therefore, Ye Shenkuan praised it many times as a model of "burning pianos and cooking cranes, drying trousers among flowers, and washing feet in clear streams." ".After all, a group of people still often go there to eat barbecue and drink, presumably at this time Shangguan is barbecued in the garden of this mansion again. "I'm not coming, I have something to do tomorrow." He said quickly, "That's it, go ahead, goodbye." "okay bye bye." He took the car keys and went out. There is no purpose, the neon on the side of the road keeps passing by, or purple, or red, and the twinkling streamer, has been reflected on the glass in front of the car.This city is just singing and dancing, prosperous to the peak, lively to the extreme.But for some reason, he always felt that he was not in the mood. Finally he stopped the car and called a random number from the notepad. The other party probably didn't expect that he would take the initiative to call, so there was a bit of surprise in his voice, and he was charming and angry, "Is it you?" "Where are you?" "I'm still on the set." Probably afraid that he would hang up, he said hastily, "But work is over, why don't I go find you?" "Then I'll wait for you at the hotel." "Okay." Through the phone line, one can imagine her happy look, and even her voice seemed a little sweet, "I'll be there right away." After the body is extremely tired, there is a brief blank in the mind, but what comes up is an even more empty feeling, just feeling tired.Even if the water from the shower hits the body, it seems to be numb, more of a lethargy, as if there is a piece missing in the whole body, and no matter how hard it is, it can't be filled. Maybe it took too long to wash, Xu You's playful voice came through the door, "Do you want me to go in and wipe your back for you?" He didn't answer, turned off the shower, took a bath towel to dry off the water droplets on his body, changed his clothes and went out. Xu You knew his habits, so although he was disappointed, but seeing his wet hair, he still asked softly, "After drying your hair for you, are you leaving?" "No, thank you." The voice was distant and polite, as if a little absent-minded.Under the dim light in the room, he could only see his thin lips, and the slightly pursed arc revealed an air of indifference.According to physiognomy, a man with thin lips is lucky, Xu You has to admit that this man has always been hard-hearted.They have been together for almost two years, but she can hardly understand any side of him. What's more, his mood seems to be slightly abnormal tonight. Although it is not easy to detect, she feels it very keenly.So she didn't say any more, took the coat and helped him put it on, and then watched him go out, saying: "Drive carefully." His hand had already touched the doorknob, he suddenly paused, turned around and looked at her, "Didn't you say you wanted to change your car a while ago? The Porsche 911 is pretty good, and it suits you well, just buy that one. The one who picked it up Remember to call my driver and someone will pay the bill." She was overjoyed, hooked his neck on tiptoe, and smiled, "Really? Why did you give me such an expensive gift suddenly? What are you trying to do wrong?" She pouted and wanted to kiss him, but his He tilted his face slightly, avoided it, and said, "You are always smart, you should understand." Her arms were originally wrapped around his neck, but her arms gradually became weak, as if all the strength in her body had been sucked out, and her ten fingers began to feel cold, until the palms of her hands became cold.She finally couldn't hold it anymore, her hand slipped from his shoulder, she almost lost her composure, standing there in a daze, just looking at him. "Take care of yourself in the future, don't stay up late if you're not filming, and don't just trust your friends to invest casually." The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. In fact, he was the most charming like this, but she would never see him again. "Call me if you're in trouble." He kissed her for the last time, on her cheek like a dragonfly on water, just a touch, almost without any warmth, he had already opened the door and left. In the elevator he saw his own face, empty and tired.In the early hours of the morning, the noisy city finally gradually fell asleep, and the elevator was even more silent. It's not that he's tired, he just doesn't want the relationship anymore.Although Xu You is very beautiful and almost never troubles him, she was once a flower of interpretation that he was very satisfied with.But for some reason, he just felt tired tonight, so he chose to leave. Perhaps some appropriate changes to the current life can make life easier. When he woke up the next morning, Lei Yuzheng went to play a game of tennis first. Seeing that it was still early, he called Chen Yijia, "How about having lunch together?" Chen Yijia was very happy, "Okay, I'm shopping with my classmates, come and pick me up." She was waiting for him at the corner of the square. He drove and saw her standing by the side of the road. Because he couldn't stop, he slowed down his speed and was about to let her cross the road to wait.Unexpectedly, she opened the door and quickly got into the car. "Very dangerous!" "Sometimes it's fun to do something dangerous." She put on her seat belt with a smile on her face, "What else would you like to eat?" "How about the barbecue?" "That's fun to bake yourself," she said. "Then take you somewhere." When she left the city, she didn't ask where she was going, but watched him drive the car onto the highway, so she covered her mouth and yawned, and fell asleep after a while. He glanced at her in the rearview mirror. In fact, there was still a little childishness in her eyebrows.He doesn't have a younger sister, but he thinks it would be like this if he had a younger sister. He was driving very fast, and she was just waking up when it was almost there.The location of Shangguan Villa is very good, hidden by Yiwan Lake, like a seaside, but the lake water is more tranquil than sea water.There are plum trees on both sides of the road. At this time, the branches and leaves are sparse, and it is conceivable that when the flowers bloom, they must be fragrant for ten miles.Seeing such a beautiful scenery, she couldn't help asking: "Your lake view mansion? This is too luxurious!" "The superior." She smiled with crooked eyebrows, "So it belongs to the capitalist Shangguan." The carved iron gate has been slowly opened, and Shangguan personally came out to pick them up, "Oh, I didn't expect it, it's so far away, it's really a face." "not welcome?" "Welcome, of course welcome!" Shangguan was still smiling, "You are not welcome, I still welcome Yijia." The driver of Shangguan's family came up to stop the car for him. He talked with Chen Yijia and Shangguan, walked around the rockery all the way, and saw a barbecue grill on the grass from a distance.Although it was so far away, he saw her at a glance. Du Xiaosu was sitting on a recliner under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, talking to Zou Siqi with his head turned sideways.Looking at her from a distance like this, her profile is falling, her brows are still so lonely.For some reason, he calmed down strangely, as if he would feel at ease whenever he saw her. But so close, still so far away.
