Chapter 39 Section 4

He saw me laughing backwards and forwards, and there seemed to be a faint pity in his eyes, but when he looked carefully, it was not, just a faint smile.I wondered: "Did you just win a big client? Or do you have other schemes? I think you are extra benevolent today, and I feel uncomfortable." He was drinking tea, almost spit out a sip of tea, coughed a few times, and said angrily: "Do you have a tendency to be masochistic? If you really have this habit, I can satisfy you." I quickly waved my hands, "No, no! This is fine." After hesitating for a while, I pretended to be nonchalant and asked the question I wanted to ask the most in my heart, "How many days will Alex be staying in Singapore?"

He lowered his head and took two sips of tea, then slowly put the cup away, "Come back in two or three days." I suddenly became happy, and I had to suppress myself, not to be too proud, so as not to show the fox's tail, and hurriedly added tea to him, "You drink tea, you drink tea! This is rose tea, which can calm the mind and sleep, and is good for the skin. " He finished his cup of tea, got up and said goodbye, "You rest, I'm going back." I also stood up and saw off the guests happily.When he arrived at the door, he was a little startled when he saw my smile.I hurriedly muttered to myself: You can't be too proud of yourself!

He stood at the door, hesitant to speak.I blinked my big eyes and looked at him puzzled, but he finally smiled, "You have a good rest." He turned and left. I was scratching my head while closing the door, there is a problem, there is a problem!Lu Licheng has a problem, I have to be careful! I decided to take a shower first, then go downstairs to do some shopping, and try not to sleep during the day, otherwise the jet lag will be even more difficult. I was soaking in the bathtub, always feeling that something was wrong, thinking about it, thinking about it, and thinking about it, and finally realized it - Malatang!This guy knew that I was going back to Beijing today, but he didn't say hello until now, and after I reported my mother's safety at the airport, before I had time to contact her, Lu Licheng appeared.

I was wet, tiptoeing, ran out to find my phone, and quickly shrank back into the bathtub. The phone rang for a long time before I heard a sleepy voice: "Hello?" "it's me!" Malatang asked in a daze, "Manman? Where are you? Aren't you in America?" I was furious, and broke out together with my dissatisfaction with her for more than a month, and scolded her head and face: "I have only been away for more than a month, do you not know who I am? If I was killed and the corpse was abandoned in the wilderness, I am afraid that if the corpse stinks, no one will miss me, so give me a call."

"Auntie, auntie, don't be angry, I... well, it's a long story. My life is really a mess now, I don't even know what day of the week it is. I forgot that you went back to Beijing today, it is indeed mine No. I was wrong, I was wrong, next time the leader goes, the little phone will follow him there, and I will treat you to dinner tonight." Mala Tang spoke softly. But I didn't appreciate it, "You'd better tell me one, two, three, four, otherwise, even if you stew yourself, I'm not interested." There was a rustling sound on the phone, probably she was looking for a pillow to find a comfortable posture, and planned to have a long chat.I also tidied up the towel under my head, turned on the hot water tap, lay down comfortably, and took a nap with my eyes closed.

"Manman, I met two men, one I like, and the other likes me." It really is a long story!My eyes opened immediately, and I quickly turned off the faucet, "Continue." "What's the next step? This is the current result. What do you think can be achieved after more than a month?" "You don't like the person who likes you?" "No, he was very, very, very nice to me." Malatang used three "very" in a row, which almost pissed me off.I didn't care to laugh at her, and asked puzzledly: "Since Lang has a lover and a concubine is interested, it's a match made in heaven, so what's the trouble? With your ability, it's not a piece of cake to send someone who likes you and you don't like!"

Malatang hesitated and said: "It's not that I don't like it completely, it should be that I don't like it now." Really complicated!I tentatively asked, "How did you know them?" Malatang laughed softly, "One met on a blind date, that is, the person I told you about was introduced by my father. I didn't have any hope at first, men are no better than women, and they don't have age pressure. How can a normal man need a blind date?" I didn’t expect this person to be very normal. He doesn’t talk much, but he doesn’t let the atmosphere stand cold; his clothes are neat, but not so neat that you think he is gay; he doesn’t have long nails, he doesn’t stingy, and he doesn’t change No way to make me pay the bill, let alone ask me to go for a walk in the park..."

A drop of cold sweat on my forehead fell into the bathtub, "Sister, I understand, you didn't meet the best, but you met a rare and normal variety during the blind date." Malatang smiled, "Yes! We feel good about each other. On the second day after the blind date ended, he asked me out to watch a movie. Before the movie, we had dinner together, and it felt good. The person I introduced was very repulsive, but this person is really nice. I couldn’t find fault with him even though I felt repulsive. On the contrary, I admired his calm demeanor, so I started a real date. Afterwards, I think we should be together."

"Well, what then?" "And then? Well, thank you for the apples." "My apple?" "I... this matter is really a long story. Manman, I have actually been secretly in love with someone. Although I dare not compare with your earth-shattering and weeping secret love, it is also very similar to the eight o'clock plot. " "What?" I stood up from the bathtub, felt cold, and immediately retracted, "When did this happen?" "A long, long time, before I knew you." "It's not like your character! Your character should be like him, so you have to say it out loud! If you like him, you have to throw him down!"

"The problem is that I don't know who he is at all. I only heard his voice. Who do you want me to tell? Who do you throw down?" "You mean to say that you have a crush on the voice of someone whose face you've never seen before." "Wrong! I mean, I have a crush on someone, although I have only heard his voice." My heart is like being tickled by ten thousand little monkeys. Malatang is indeed Malatang, even my secret love is so gorgeous, I have to look up at her half sadly and half brightly from a forty-five degree angle. "Then what does his voice have to do with my apple?"

"You asked me to pick up the apples, but because of some things, I haven't been able to pick them up." "Hmph! What are some things? Isn't it just to be with that blind date man! If I didn't leave a message to remind you, you might have completely forgotten about it." Malatang laughed a few times without denying it, "I met him almost every night at that time, so I never had a chance. I thought if I didn't take it, you came back. When you came back, you still have to expose my skin? It happened one day He wanted to meet an important client, but he didn’t have time to meet me, so I took a taxi and went straight to your house. It was a moonlit night... I thought your apples were only in a plastic bag, but it turned out to be half a box. Hey !By the way, where did you get so many apples?" I was fascinated by it, but she dared to change the subject, "Don't talk nonsense, continue!" "It was a night with a moon. The moon was so big and bright that even the neon lights of the city couldn't make it lose its color. When I took a taxi downstairs to your house, I saw a man in a black coat from a distance. Standing in front of the square of your building. Beside him is a black antique street lamp, a pure black lamp post, and a glass lampshade carved at the four corners. The light of the street lamp is very soft on him, and he is half looking up A round of moon hangs high in the black sky, the expression on the face is very gentle and gentle, as if thinking of a lover who is thousands of miles away, even I, the viewer, feel the gentle touch in my heart." Malatang's tone is also very gentle, very gentle, I dare not urge her to continue, let her talk very gently, very gently. "A little flower girl with long braids passed by him and asked him, 'Do you want to buy flowers, sir?' He looked down at the little girl, his expression was so gentle, like water, and then he took the red rose in the little girl's hand I bought them all. You didn’t see the expression on his face holding the flowers, the sadness overflowed from the tenderness one by one, and finally overwhelmed him.” Malatang sighed for a long time, “Such silent sadness, matched with fiery red roses , will break the hearts of those who see it.” It seems that Malatang was really touched by the scene in front of her at that time, her voice was low and confused, "At that time, there was still snow on the ground, black carved lampposts, blurred and soft lights, He was dressed in black, holding a bouquet of fiery red roses, standing alone in the cold wind, and the sadness on his face was almost heartbreaking. That scene was like an oil painting in the Renaissance period. , directly throwing a fifty-yuan bill to the taxi driver, and there is no time for him to give him change.” Malatang said it so soul-stirringly, I heard it sadly and lingeringly.Instead of oil painting, I thought of a vampire, a handsome vampire in love with a human girl, a desperate love affair, a bouquet of roses that can never be delivered. "and then?" "Then... I can't just stare at people all the time! So, although I moved every step, I walked into the building to get your apples. You have so many apples that I can't lift them. I can only I held it in my arms. When I came out, I saw that man was about to get into a taxi. I was scolding you in my heart for getting such a pile of apples for me. I didn’t expect him to see a girl holding a box in my arms. He stepped aside in a gentlemanly manner, indicating that I could use the car first. At that moment, I thought, if anyone is this person’s girlfriend, even I will have to envy him—you must be good-looking, and you must be virtuous.” I laughed at her: "You're almost drooling, why didn't you hook him up?" Malatang laughed, "I was really tempted and wanted to hook up, but I think the person I'm dating now is not bad, and we can't eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot, so we can only give up." I was nodding my head frequently, and I thought it was wrong, she didn't hook up with others, why did she go to such great lengths to tell me about a stranger? "Don't say what you mean! How did you hook up with him?" Malatang laughed twice, "I said 'thank you' to him again and again, and he kept smiling silently. Later, when he closed the door for me, he said 'you're welcome'. My head exploded at that time, and I didn't know Where was I? The taxi had already driven out, but I suddenly yelled: "Go back, go back!" The taxi driver was also anxious, and yelled: "You can't make a U-turn here." Pour all the money in him and beg him, 'Master, you must go back, please, please!' I saw a taxi driving towards him through the rear window, and I burst into tears , crying and shouting: "Master, I will give you another thousand, please turn around." The taxi master must have been frightened by me, and he gritted his teeth, "Sure, you sit still." Turning the corner, honking the horn all the way, and returning to the front of the building. At that time, he had already got into the taxi, and the car had already started. I threw myself in front of the car, with my hands outstretched, and stopped the car. The taxi driver slammed on the brakes. Fortunately, the car had just started and was very slow. But I was still knocked to the ground. The driver cursed angrily, but he immediately got out of the car and rushed over to help me, 'Are you hurt?'” Malatang stopped, as if waiting for my comment, but I couldn't say a word. After a while, I murmured: "This way of approaching a conversation is too tough like his mother's!" Malatang's voice was heavy and slow, "Manman, he is the one I have been secretly in love with for many years! My mother has always refused to tell me who he is, but I always know. No matter how many years have passed, even if I don't know his Appearance, I don’t know his name, as long as I hear his voice, I can recognize him. So I cried and begged the driver to drive the car back. I’m really afraid that I’ll miss it this time, and I won’t be able to find him in the crowd It would be fine if I never met him, I could always treat it as a dream, he is the person in my dream, but now I really see him, he is better than I imagined, How could I walk the rest of my life as if nothing had happened?" I sat in the bathtub foolishly, the water was already cold, but I didn't feel anything.Probably Malatang also foresaw my reaction, so he kept silent and let me digest slowly.After a long time, I don't know what to say in this situation, it's really... forgive me, my vocabulary is too poor. After a long silence, I finally said something: "Did you finally give the driver a thousand dollars?" Malatang was silent for a moment, then burst into a roar: "Su Man! You are doing well!" I patted my chest and felt relieved, it was still my Mala Tang.The tearful, dazed, and screaming man made me feel strange and uneasy. I came back to my senses and started to feel cold, so I let out a scream and stood up from the bathtub. "What happened?" "It's nothing, but I was so fascinated by your storytelling that I didn't realize that the bath water was almost freezing." Malatang smiled with satisfaction, and I said tremblingly, "I have to take a shower first, see you tonight." Under the shower head, I closed my eyes and let the water jet hit my face.The story of Malatang is half-hidden, and there are too many unexplained.Like, how on earth did she meet this man for the first time?How could it be possible to hear voices but not see people?Also, hasn't her mother been forcing her to go on blind dates?So why is it that she knows that her daughter has someone she likes, but refuses to tell her who it is?It would be understandable to say that this person is a bad person, but based on Malatang's simple description, one can know that this person is not only not a bad person, but also a very good person.So, I really can't understand!But none of us are newborn babies. There are stories behind our no longer young eyes. Who at this age has no secrets that he doesn’t want to tell?I don't want to tell Mala Tang that my father has cancer!More than four years ago, when I was just chatting with Malatang online, my father was diagnosed with gastric cancer and had half of his stomach removed.From then on, I realized that I should not be too willful. What we take for granted is actually easy to lose. This is the reason why I dare not refuse my family to arrange a blind date for me. I always thought that those days were just a nightmare, so I never said that my father was sick in front of anyone, and I didn't want anyone to look at me with sympathy and comfort.
