Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

She sighed softly, and there was a slight change in her tone: "Daixi, have you heard of this old saying?" People without addictions cannot be friends with each other because they are not affectionate. Infuriating too.'” Dai Xi shook his head blankly, Lin Nianzhen smiled: "I believe, he will get better." After a moment of silence, Dai Xi said, "Jane, there is one more thing, which...he entrusted me to do it." Dai Xi opened the satchel, and put a thin piece of paper on the stone table. She had to press it with her hands to prevent it from being blown away by the passing autumn wind.

"That day at 'Yi Yuan', William asked me to pass this on to you." Lin Nianzhen looked at this piece of paper and didn't say a word for a long time, his handsome face was as calm and serene as a sculpture. Dai Xi took out another bank card from her bag, and took a deep breath: "There is still a sum of money, and he asked me to do it for you, as a handling fee..." "Dai Xi." Lin Nianzhen interrupted her, "Stop talking. You put all these away, I don't want it." Dai Xi's eyes blurred all of a sudden, what's going on?How did you become so crying?

"Jane..." Dai Xi seemed to be begging, but she didn't know who it was for or what it was for. Lin Nianzhen gently handed the paper back to Dai Xi: "You are also used to using your left hand, I just found out." Dai Xi couldn't speak, she just felt sad, heartbroken... "No matter how precious 'Yi Yuan' is, it's just a house. She's only valuable to those who really love her, and I won't To love an empty house." Huge amounts of wealth and several years of love and affection were given away without any regrets.Withered and yellow autumn leaves falling on the stone table, are they going to return to the dust with the white paper?

Standing downstairs in Meng Feiyang's house, Dai Xi was in a daze.The last time I left here was the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year. Meng Feiyang dragged her suitcase and sent her to the gate of the community. The remains of firecrackers and fireworks on the passage had been swept away, but the remaining snow in the flower beds on the roadside was still dotted with red and red flowers. A green crumb that's festive and dirty. He pressed a final kiss on her lips and watched her get into the taxi.The car started, and Dai Xi looked back through the car window. In the cold evening wind, Meng Feiyang's figure in a ginger-yellow down trench coat shone brightly in the gray darkness, and was soon obscured by the condensed fog in the car window. went……

It was Ke Yaping who came to open the door, but she stared blankly at Dai Xi without speaking. "Hello...I'm looking for Meng Feiyang." Dai Xi had no choice but to say. Ke Yaping simply averted her gaze, leaned slightly and stood by the door—the gesture of inviting in, the expression of resistance. Just when Dai Xi was in a dilemma, Meng Feiyang appeared in front of the door: "Dai Xi, you are here." Meng Feiyang's home is quite neat and tidy, and some little things have been added that Dai Xi has never seen before: a few pots of cactus on the windowsill with pink flowers, and an S-shaped IKEA-style full-length mirror erected on the wall of the entrance hallway, There are a few more cushions printed with floral patterns on the sofa... "Snail Girl"'s thoughts and hard work make this simple little home exude a warm atmosphere, and also deeply engrave her personal imprint.Dai Xi recalled the renovations that Meng Feiyang had specially done for himself during the Spring Festival holiday: it was almost winter, the hot water faucet in the kitchen and the new heater in the bathroom were ready for use.Although I have never had the chance to enjoy it, at least that touch has been preserved and has not failed.

Meng Feiyang fell behind, talking softly with Ke Yaping in the kitchen.Dai Xi sat alone on the sofa and waited. The computer on the opposite desk was turned on and the screen was shining brightly.It was on this computer that Dai Xi received the employment email from West Bund Chemical, and it was also on this computer that she read the self-report of the consultant x over and over again, unconsciously pretending to be him into the heart... It was these memories that helped Daixi get rid of the embarrassment of becoming an outsider. The past was vivid, and every fragment convinced her that she had truly loved and was equally truly loved. Live up to my own heart.

"Daixi, what do you want to drink?" Meng Feiyang walked over with his right arm crossed, "Tea or coffee?" She chuckled: "What a handsome hotel receptionist." "Well, a five-star hotel!" Meng Feiyang nodded solemnly, sat down beside Dai Xi, his eyes fell on her forehead, "This scar hasn't faded yet." Dai Xi unconsciously raised her hand to cover her forehead, and pouted: "It's so annoying to stare at this!" "Okay, okay, I don't want to watch it." Meng Feiyang said so, but his eyes refused to move away, and the pity, reluctance, and love that couldn't be contained were overflowing.

"Well, if only I could have arrived sooner..." "Fly!" The two fell silent in unison. The holiday ended on October 8, and Meng Feiyang kept calling Zhang Naichi since the morning, but no one answered.In the afternoon, Meng Feiyang, who was working in the company, couldn't sit still anymore, and rushed directly to Zhang Naichi's apartment.What he saw was a mess, torn documents, smashed cups and plates, smudges all over the place... What shocked Meng Feiyang especially was that the milky white wallpaper was torn apart by a sharp knife, and three blood-red wallpapers could be vaguely recognized. The words painted all over the wall - Li Weilian!

Meng Feiyang's heart tightened immediately, he instinctively grabbed his phone and dialed Dai Xi's number.The other party couldn't get through, and Meng Feiyang's mind was buzzing. He took a taxi and went straight to West Bund Chemical. The news he got was that Dai Xi took half a day off and left after lunch.where will she be !Why can't I get through the phone? !Probably because of a tacit understanding, Meng Feiyang, who was wandering around downstairs in West Bank Chemical, suddenly remembered: There is a place where the mobile phone signal is not good-"Yiyuan"!

The closed front door of "Yi Garden" delayed Meng Feiyang a lot of time. When he finally reached the side door, the small door had already been pushed open by Zhang Naichi. pointed out the direction.Just when Zhang Naichi stabbed Dai Xi with a sharp knife, Meng Feiyang finally arrived in time, and at the very moment, he put his shoulder under Zhang Naichi's blade without thinking. Li Weilian struggled, and the two injured men fought together with the lunatic holding the murder weapon.Fortunately, Meng Feiyang had sensed a strong murderous intent when he was outside the "Yi Garden" wall, so he called Tong Xiao and asked Tong Xiao to come over as soon as possible.At about the same time, Qiu Wenxin observed something strange from the upper floor of "Shuangmei 1919" and called the police. Several people rushed to the police within five minutes, and then subdued Zhang Naichi and put out the raging fire in time.

Dai Xi lightly touched Meng Feiyang's right arm hanging around his neck: "Does it still hurt?" "Hehe, the man has rough skin and thick flesh, it's okay! Everything will be normal in two weeks." Meng Feiyang looked down, "Besides, this is the standard hospitality posture now, isn't it?" Dai Xi forced a smile, then suddenly thought of Ke Yaping: "Ke...how about her?" "Oh, I went grocery shopping." "Feiyang," Dai Xi blinked, "with her...are you happy?" Meng Feiyang looked at Dai Xi with a smile, only he could understand the meaning of her question, and only he could understand her mood.So he didn't answer her directly, but asked instead: "Daisy, I heard from Uncle Dai that you resigned?" "Ok." "That's fine, do you have any new plans? Do you want to change jobs or..." "I haven't made up my mind yet." Dai Xi lowered her head. "Xiaoxi," Meng Feiyang called her again in the way he has been accustomed to for many years, "Xiaoxi, do what you really want to do." He looked into her eyes: "As long as you are happy, I will be happy." They looked into each other's hearts, this moment is so precious, enough to comfort youth. After a while, Meng Feiyang stretched out his left hand and pinched the silk scarf around Dai Xi's neck: "Do you remember? carpe diem..." The delicate and smooth silk is full of texture, passing through his fingers.This fiery red Hermès silk scarf was the only luxury item that Meng Feiyang gave Dai Xi. At that time, the two of them studied the introduction of the silk scarf excitedly for a long time. Dai Xi especially liked the Latin poet He La mentioned in it. Sri Lanka's famous sentence: carpe diem. My dear, please tie my blessings around your neck forever - cherish the years. When Ke Yaping came back from shopping, Dai Xi had already left.Ke Yaping didn't ask any more questions, but just washed vegetables and cooked in silence. Since Meng Feiyang was injured, she has taken good care of him every day. From the hospital to home, she is meticulous and hard-working. It seems that she has completely regarded this as her duty. Meng Feiyang's right hand is still not healed, so he won't be able to use the computer for long.Just like when Dai Xi often lived here in the past, the computer does not have a power-on password, which is convenient for two people to use at the same time.Both Meng Feiyang and Dai Xi thought that only in this way could they prove that they were honest with each other and had no secrets from each other.But recalling it now, Meng Feiyang always thinks bitterly, how naive the two of them were. The real secret is never locked in the computer, it is hidden in the deepest part of the heart, and no one can discover it except yourself. Just after nine-thirty in the evening, they went to bed.Ke Yaping helped Meng Feiyang wash first, then packed his underwear, cleaned the bathroom, and waited until she got into bed after taking a shower, more than half an hour passed. Meng Feiyang was lying on his left side, and he had to maintain this sleeping position for a while before his right arm completely healed.Ke Yaping cautiously stretched her hand over him, trying to turn off the bedside lamp on his side. "Yaping." As soon as her body softened, she hurriedly stood up again: "Oh, did it hurt you?" Meng Feiyang took a hissing breath: "It hurts... why are you turning off the light?" "Ah? What should I do then?" Ke Yaping panicked, "I thought you were asleep." "Didn't sleep, I'll wait for you." "wait for me?" The bedside light shone obliquely on his face, and Ke Yaping suddenly realized something, and his face turned red.Under Meng Feiyang's gaze, she muttered: "...What do you want to do? The injury is not healed yet." "It's because the arm is not healed, but other places are fine. If you are idle, it will be ruined." "That can't be done, how inconvenient..." "I don't find it inconvenient." Meng Feiyang stared at Ke Yaping intently, and she half pushed and half snuggled into his arms.She knew that she could no longer refuse, otherwise he would be unhappy. He could only half prop up his body with his left arm, and this posture was still very reluctant after all.After trying it once, he asked softly, "Why don't you be on top?" "Let's wait until later." Ke Yaping lay in the crook of his left arm, "That's it for today, okay?" "Hmm..." Meng Feiyang put her hand on his fiery desire, that's all he could do, because he couldn't and didn't want to explain to her clearly: how much he wants, how much he wants, how much he wants today. He was finally released under her caress, and the sense of exhaustion that arrived as expected calmed his surging heart.After turning off the bedside lamp, they lay down separately. A few minutes later, Ke Yaping whispered, "Feiyang, the agent recommended me a two-bedroom house, not too far from here. Let's go and see it together tomorrow." "it is good." Ke Yaping's breathing gradually became even and long, but Meng Feiyang opened his eyes wide in the darkness.Now that he has decided to give full emotion, then tonight, only tonight, he allowed himself to be intoxicated in his thoughts. ...Research has proved that the function and state of sexual organs can most truly reflect a man's biological age. ... Eunuchs, they only have the age of being human, not the age of men! Meng Feiyang wants to understand for himself: From now on, no one will say such things to him again. His future life will be plain and solid, and when he retires, he may become another old Ke.He will no longer be that young man with a simple sense of justice who resigned from a large trading company because he could not understand the power-for-money deal between the leader and customs officials; At the same time, he tried to stop Yuchuan's commercial fraud... As a result, he lost his job and caused a series of unexpected changes. He didn't regret it, but finally decided to forget it all. That's fine, as a human being, he will inevitably mature, decay, and grow old, but his manly age will always be reserved for his beloved girl, no matter his biological age is sixty, seventy or eighty, he will remember it The words that the girl said most touched his heartstrings: "I only hope that in the end, I can verify by myself that your male age has reached a hundred years old..." Meng Feiyang felt that something warm was slowly flowing down the corner of his eyes, and silently penetrated into the pillow. do you know?I'm a hundred years old... In this silent night, Meng Feiyang bid farewell to Dai Xi who was cherished in his heart: "Dearest Miss Floyd, fly free in the world of the mind - may you be happy."
