Chapter 23 Chapter Eleven

Du Lilin and Xu Yancheng went home together from the office that day, and they didn't speak a word.After eating a meal, Lilin saw that Xu Yancheng was still silent, so she couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said: "Cough, Yancheng, I opened my eyes and told nonsense for you, but you didn't tell the truth." "It's a lie to say that I climbed to hell. It's a nonsense." "So to be honest, you went out to see friends early in the morning?" "I went to see my friends." "I have to take a car to Xiangshan to see it!"

"My friend is not in Xiangshan. Do I need to report to that little woman about who I see, what car I take, and what route I take?" "But she saw you both, what do you say?" "She didn't see it." "Someone saw it. One you, one her." "Joke! You didn't say anything about me at all. The person she ordered has proved that she didn't go to the mountains. How can you ask me to go to the mountains with her?" "Jiang Min sees through that lady is lying." "Lying? Unless she has a double body. Someone saw her working in the office, how can she go on a mountain tour with me?"

"You are very good at protecting her! It's a pity that both of you have changed your face, and you don't tell yourself. I'll cover it up for you, but you still don't know what to do." Yancheng sighed and said, "You can make it up as you like. I'm telling the truth, but if you don't believe me, what can I say?" Lilin sighed more deeply and said, "I know your heart too. I know I'm stupid, not as smart as others. I'm a vulgar person, not as elegant as others. I'm just a pushy woman, no Like people have brains." "When did I say such a thing?" Yancheng felt aggrieved.

"Do you need to say it? I'm stupid, but I can still hear what you didn't say." Yancheng felt that Lilin was really a "standard woman".He said with restraint: "What happened to her, you said it yourself, I just didn't argue with you, now it's all on my head." "It's said that it's in your heart, what else can you tell!" Yancheng felt that she was unreasonable, so he sneaked into his "kennel" silently. Lilin said in English outside: "I also understand now. The three words you owed me, you owed me five or six years, and you didn't want to pay back, because you didn't want to give it to me, because I didn't deserve it. Now you have found a worthy one. You are the one with three words. I congratulate you!"

Yancheng felt a dull pain in his heart, and Lilin was very good at analyzing his heart.What he felt but didn't dare to admit to himself was always decided by Lilin for him.His face was very ugly, and he ran out patiently, and said to Lilin: "It's hard for Mom and the others to leave, and we've only been quiet for a few days, and you're looking for trouble for yourself, and uttering such nonsensical words." Lilin said very illogically and logically: "Feelings cannot be forced, I don't force it. I just ask you to fulfill your promise. You promised me to be faithful to me forever and tell the truth to me forever. But you said What a truth!" She walked into the bedroom angrily, crying bitterly.

Yancheng is most afraid of women crying.Tears quietly wiped away like Yao Mi's, which would move him very much.But using tears as a weapon disgusted him, because it was her mother's habit.He hesitated for a moment, but still patiently followed into the bedroom, and said quietly: "Lilin, do you know what Mama Li said outside? Mr. and Mrs. speak foreign languages, it's just a quarrel." With sobs, Lilin sneered and said, "You're afraid of gossip!" Yancheng said sincerely: "Lilin, what I told you is indeed the truth. I didn't go on a mountain tour with others."

Lilin turned her head and said, "I don't like to see you being hypocritical." She sat in front of the mirror, facing her teary face, slowly wiped away the tears with a handkerchief, and wiped away the tears with a powder puff. Yancheng saw from the mirror that Lilin was very restrained, not as capricious as his mother.He held back his breath and told her again: "Lilin, I want to be sincere to you..." Lilin stared at Yancheng with her beautiful eyes wet with tears, and said with a sneer, "Then please ask yourself, am I wrong when I say you are in love with someone else?"

Yancheng took retreat as an advance and said, "You are never wrong! The one who is wrong is ultimately me." Lilin turned around, turned her back to the mirror, and said with a serious face: "Yancheng, listen to me. I have an eldest sister and a second sister, and I am the youngest sister. My eldest brother-in-law is always on the loose..." Yancheng laughed and said, "You mean towards Qin Muchu?" Lilin didn't smile at all: "I'm sorry, I'm from the comprador class. I'm not as educated as others. I only learned to speak a few words of English when I studied abroad. I'm not a learned person. Thank you for your advice. Chaoqin Muchu—— I used to think that only people like my brother-in-law were like that—my eldest sister always turned a blind eye and closed one eye. There are many beauties in Hong Kong, and I guess they are still the same now. My second sister divorced twice, and now brings This daughter is relying on her natal family, and it seems that she will never find a good husband again. She knows that she is a burden on the family, just a superfluous person, and she only swallows her anger. I saw their example and thought I would learn from her. You're smart. I don't want to marry a dandy, I don't want to marry a foreigner, I want to marry a scholar with knowledge and good character. I also argue myself, not relying on my natal family, not relying on my husband. But, alas, it seems that the world is like an old crow Black! At least, the daughters of our Du family are all annoying..."

Yancheng interrupted her and said, "Why make such a big fuss? I didn't court Qin Muchu, and I didn't divorce you..." "Whatever you say, anyway, I know it in my heart. I have three eyes! Two eyes are closed, and one is open! I also know how to protect myself, and I won't be manipulated by others!" She got up and pushed Yancheng out the door , while saying: "Get into your doghouse! Miss your lover!" She shut Yancheng out. Yancheng was lying on the small plank bed in his "kennel", angry all by himself.He couldn't help it at the beginning, and invited Yao Mi to visit the mountains.Just for Lilin's sake, in order not to let her down, he temporarily canceled the mountain tour appointment, almost teasing Yao Mi.Unexpectedly, Lilin only wanted to occupy him, not allowing him to have any secrets and freedom.The "truth" he said is of course not true, but when a third party is involved, he can't betray the third party.He didn't ask Lilin to be as demure and deep as Yao Mi, yet gentle and charming, unexpectedly she was so blunt and ferocious.He also knew that Lilin had no sense of humor, but how could a person be so dull!

"Okay!" he thought angrily, "you will protect yourself, and I will protect myself! I will not be at your mercy either!" He rested his hands on the back of his head, thinking about how to plead guilty to Yao Mi.Whether she forgives or not, he must apologise. He got up and wrote a letter, put it in the notebook that he carried with him, went to Yao's house to listen to music, and went to Yao Mi's small study to read a book, and put a note in the book on the small desk, stating that See a page in a book.He took out the letter addressed to Yao Mi, flattened it, folded it in two, and put it in that page of the book.This is how the letter was written.

Yao Mi: I dare not defend myself, but ask your forgiveness.Please allow me to apologize to you. If I could have imagined that I would have to cancel my trip to the mountains, I shouldn't have asked you out in the first place.If I could think of having to follow you, I shouldn't have canceled the engagement.It was my fault to make an appointment with you; it was my fault to cancel this appointment; it was my fault to follow you in private.If you cannot forgive, then I only beg you not to be angry, and not to think that I am teasing you.Because even though I was wrong, it was a last resort. Xu Yancheng can you answerOr, can you just fold this double-folded letter into four and put it in place to show that you are not angry with me anymore? and Before leaving, Yancheng said to Mrs. Yao: "Auntie, please tell Yao Mi that I have picked out the book she wants to refer to, and it is on her small desk." One day later, Yancheng arrived at Yao's house, then went to Yao Mi's small study, hurriedly found the book, flipped through it, but the double-folded letter disappeared. Yancheng tore off a page from the pad in the drawer of the small desk, and hurriedly wrote the following short message. Yao Mi: I waited in trepidation, please double fold this paper, too. Yan Cheng One day later, the paper was gone.Yancheng folded a piece of white paper without authorization and put it in the book.Another day later, he found that the blank paper was still there.He wrote on the paper: Yao Mi: Although you didn't fold the paper, you let it fold into double folds, so it can be regarded as tacit approval, right? Yan Cheng Yancheng himself felt a bit rascal.Sure enough, it made Yao Mi speak up.She had taken the letter away and replaced it with blank paper, on which there were only eight words written: "If you keep pestering me, I will tell Mom." Yancheng felt ashamed, as if he saw Yao Mi holding a pair of small scissors and said, "I'll stab you!" "I'll stab you!" He cannot accept this threat.He just scribbled a few lines on the back of the paper. "It would be great if you told Mum, because I'm going to divorce Lilin and I'm thinking of having her as a consultant, but I don't dare to disturb her. Before I divorce, I can't speak freely. I can only ask you again not to be angry. Wait impatiently." It's up to you to tell your aunt." This time Yao Mi answered in a hurry.The words are only two short sentences. Mr. Xu: Please don't disturb my mother, please, please.I can be a consultant. Yao Mi Yancheng replied as follows: Yao Mi: Thanks for finally talking to me.Do not disturb my aunt as ordered.So, where can we meet?I heard that the house where your family used to store books is still empty.Do you still have the key to the back door? Xu Yancheng Yancheng wrote a few small characters at the end of the letter: "Mr. Advisor: Please destroy my letter for me, thank you." He put the letter in the book, let out a big breath, and waited innocently for Yao Mi's reply.
