Chapter 10 Chapter Ten Holding Hands

The next morning, when I woke up, I was in Song Yi's bed. There was a small note on the bedside table. I went to work, the porridge was heating up in the rice cooker, and there was a fried egg in the microwave, so you don’t have to rush to work, I’ll give you a day off and prepare your bags for tomorrow. I put my thumb in my mouth and bit it hard, it hurts!He picked up his phone and dialed Malatang again: "Malatang, am I dreaming?" Malatang said angrily, "Being your mother's spring dream!" Fine, I'm not dreaming.I hung up the phone, looked around the room carefully from left to right, from bottom to top, and finally confirmed clearly where I was.The body rolled into a ball, rolling around on the bed laughing.

Yesterday, everything happened so suddenly, the happiness was unreal, and today everything is really confirmed, the great happiness makes people feel like they want to laugh with their toes. After flopping on the bed enough, I ran to the kitchen with bare feet, touching here and there, as if everything was so fresh, everything was so precious, thinking that all of this bears Song Yi's imprint , Grinning only knows a smirk. I filled a bowl of porridge and drank it happily. If someone asked me, what is the best food in this life?I will definitely tell him, the white porridge in the rice cooker.

After eating breakfast and taking a shower, I tidied up the messy bed I had tossed about, and also tidied up the sofa where Song Yi slept on. I put my face against the pillow he used, and I felt that there was still warmth from him. His face involuntarily became hot, and his heart was filled with happiness. Spending the whole morning at Song Yi's house, looking around, everything has returned to its original state, although he was reluctant to let go, but after all he was too embarrassed to hang on, so he had to take a taxi home.After getting off the taxi and passing the overpass, he came across a fruit vendor who often set up a stall on the overpass. He was looking at the stall while weaving things with a few bamboo strips, his hands were red from the cold.

"I want two catties of apples." He hurriedly put down the things in his hands and hurried to weigh the apples for me. "Are you weaving flower baskets? What a skill!" The man's honest and honest face was full of embarrassment: "It's Auntie's birthday, I'll imitate you people in the city and make a birthday present." There are countless happy bubbles in my heart, so happy that I seem to be flying, wishing that everyone in the world can be as happy as me, I smiled and said: "I want the rest of the fruits in your basket, you Do the math."

The man was stunned: "Girl, can you finish eating?" I laughed: "I have many friends." He smiled all of a sudden, and helped me deliver the fruit to my door. I gave him two hundred dollars, and he kept saying "thank you". His happiness was so direct and simple, and I kept saying "you're welcome." ".Holding the money tightly, he happily ran downstairs with the half-woven flower basket. I washed a big apple and bit into it. The indescribably sweet taste made people feel sweet all the way to their hearts.While I was eating apples, I was humming and dancing back and forth in the house.Laughing while dancing, too much happiness, I can't help it if I want to bear it, I can only let it gushing like a fountain.

In the evening, when Song Yi came over, what he saw was that my room, which was only about 30 square meters in total, was piled with enough apples to last me for three months. I handed him a big apple: "You're welcome, take a few catties when you leave at night." Holding an apple, he asked, "Have you opened a fruit shop?" "I just bought it this afternoon." There was really no room for him in the room. There were clothes and boxes on the bed and the floor, so he simply sat on my desk and reminded me: "You have to get on the plane tomorrow morning."

I laughed: "Today is the birthday of the peddler's wife, so I bought all his apples." He took a bite of the apple: "I didn't hear the causal connection, are you friends with the vendor's wife?" "When he sells out his apples, he can go home early, and when he comes home early, he can celebrate his wife's birthday, and they will be as happy as me." He was silent and didn't speak. I zipped the suitcase, clapped my hands and stood up: "It's time to eat." "Have you packed your luggage?" "almost." He handed me a stack of documents: "Here are some things and people that you need to pay special attention to. Put them in your carry-on luggage. You can check them on the plane. Once you get on the plane, adjust the time to New York time. According to New York time Go rest so you don't have to work too hard when you're jet-lagged."

I took it over and looked through it casually.Listed one by one clearly, the details that need my special attention were highlighted with a highlighter, and I silently put the materials into the handbag. All the way after graduating from university, my career path is not more difficult than others, and of course it is not smoother than others. Even so, all the bumps and bumps added up are enough to write a sad history of women's career path.When I made a mistake, I was reprimanded by my elder sister in public. From the beginning, I held back my tears, but then I became calm. I have long been used to taking care of everything by myself. My head has to be carried on my shoulders. However, it turns out that the feeling of being taken care of is so... …so comforting and warm.

When I was going out, my mother's phone came. "Mom, well, the plane tomorrow morning, the luggage has been packed." "No need to bring me food, food is not allowed to be brought into the United States." Clamping the mobile phone on the shoulder, while talking, he went to put on his clothes, and tried his best to stuff his arms into the coat crookedly. Song Yi took the coat over, stood in front of me, and helped me get dressed. I obediently concentrated on the phone while getting dressed, and he instructed me to raise my hand as soon as I raised it, and change my arm as soon as I changed my arm.

"Well, there is a male colleague with me." "I don't care if he's single or not! What does it matter to me if he's single or not?" "What? Mom, what are you talking about? I'm off to eat, so I won't talk to you anymore!" When my mother heard that there was a male colleague with me, she immediately asked me if he was married, and encouraged me to seize opportunities. Foreign countries and airplanes are places where romances frequently occur. Song Yi was so close, he must have heard it clearly, my face was flushed, he lowered his head and fastened the last button for me, and said without expression: "Okay, let's go!"

He strode silently ahead, and I had to trot to keep up with him.On a cold night, everyone was rushing home, pedestrians and vehicles refused to give way to each other, and the street was in chaos. He stopped suddenly, turned around and took my hand, and led me through the traffic. The uneasiness disappeared again, and he followed him with a big stride with a smile on his face. After crossing the road, he wanted to let go, but I held it tightly and refused to let go.He stopped and looked at me, and I half-raised my head, staring at him, still holding his hand. Under the neon lights, his expression was indistinct, only a pair of obscure eyes, as deep as the sea, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see the bottom, we were like people standing on both sides of the sea, as if separated by a natural moat, I could only Hold his hand tightly, relying on the warmth of his palm, tell yourself that we are very close. He yanked his hand a few times, but I grabbed it with greater strength and didn't let him go!Never let go!If I let go, I'm afraid he will stand on the other side of the sky. There was a constant flow of people around us, and when they passed us, they all stared at me carefully when they saw our posture.I don't know how long I can persist with my stubbornness, I bit my lip tightly, trying to keep my eyes from being filled with fog. He seemed to hear a long sigh, his five fingers slowly closed, and finally he held my hand instead.I lowered my head, pretending to rub my eyes, and wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes.He took my hand and walked into the restaurant. The waiter gave us a couple seat on his own initiative. I peeked at him, but he didn’t show any displeasure. My heart calmed down, and I asked him to recommend me something in New York. The food is delicious, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about that, what to do with the apples in your house is what you should worry about now." I snapped my fingers and counted for him: "I've thought about it a long time ago, how many catties will my mother take, how many catties will you get, how many catties will be given to Malatang, how many catties will be given to the elder sister, how many catties will be given to the security guard downstairs at my house..." He stuffed the juice into my hand: "Okay, okay, I see." I took a sip of the fruit juice, propped my chin, and looked at him with a smile. This time, he did not avoid my gaze, but stared at me. It was filled with the same thing as my eyes, and my heart finally settled down. He likes me, I can't be wrong. I wrinkled my nose, moved closer to him, and mysteriously motioned him to come closer: "I have something to ask." Seeing that I spoke so politely, he must have thought it was related to work, so he immediately lowered his head and listened attentively. "I'm going to be in New York for over a month, will you miss me?" After he stayed for a while, he replied that he gave me a "popping chestnut" on my forehead. "I'm going to miss this." I rubbed my forehead and murmured in a low voice: "Thinking is to knock my forehead, my forehead is only mine, that is thinking of me." He was dumbfounded, leaning on his forehead and sighing: "Am I really old? Girls nowadays are as full of 'confidence' as you?" "One heart plus ninety-nine roses equals the full score of love..." The ringtone of my mobile phone rang untimely. Fortunately, I just changed the ringtone today. Angela Chang's "It's No Reason to Like You", although it's also very 250, but at least it's very girly and youthful, especially very very suitable for my current mood.So, after I found the phone, I didn't want to press the answer button immediately. Instead, I held it in my hand and listened to the singing for a while. Song Yi probably understood my thoughts. He didn't say a word, but just stared at me tenderly. , with touching pampering in his eyes. One heart plus ninety-nine roses is equal to the full score of love and heart-pounding feeling. Touching is as changeable as comprehensive chocolate, but no matter how you choose, it is a happy taste.Love adds dreams, and the secret garden will emerge. When we go to explore together, it turns out that the sweetness of love is created in every moment, and the shelf life is forever.Love Ninety-nine, a long-lasting romance, there is no reason to like you, and the good mood is endless; love Ninety-nine, a long time of sweetness in my heart, taste your tender love, super perfect taste... After the ringtone is played completely , I blushed and pressed the answer button: "Hello?" Because I was in a good mood, I could even say the word "Hello" tenderly.On the other side of the phone, it seemed that he couldn't get used to it. After a moment of silence, there was a voice: "It's me, Lu Licheng." As if facing a formidable enemy, I immediately sat up straight and said politely: "Hello!" There was another moment of silence on the phone: "Do you have time tonight?" I glanced at Song Yi: "Sorry, no." "Have you had dinner yet?" "eating." "one person?" "No, with friends." There was a long silence on the phone, and I thought I was disconnected: "Hello? Hello?" "exist." "What's the matter?" "For some work matters, I originally thought that if you had time, you would come to the office. If that's the case, forget it. We'll talk about it when we have a conference call in New York." I cursed insanely in my heart, I have to get on the plane tomorrow, and he actually planned to let me work tonight, don’t say I’m busy, even if I’m fine, I’ll definitely find something for myself, but he still said politely: “Okay , Okay, thank you very much, I will contact you when I arrive in New York." Just about to hang up the phone, he asked again: "Do you have time after dinner?" I almost died of anger. He is a workaholic, but it doesn't mean that I am also a workaholic. How can there be such a boss who doesn't know how to be considerate of his subordinates? "Sorry, no! Tonight, my parents are coming to see me, and I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow." I deliberately emphasized the last sentence. He was silent and didn't speak, I called out twice: "Hello? Hello?" He said: "Then I won't disturb your meal, goodbye!" "goodbye!" The good habit cultivated by my elder sister, in order to show my respect to my boss, I usually wait for my boss to hang up first. Without speaking, I could only say "goodbye" again and hang up the phone first. I made a face at Song Yi: "I don't think I'm a promising person anymore. Unlike some colleagues, the mobile phone is turned on 24 hours a day, and the boss is there at any time. Let's just say Peter, don't look at him usually Careless, but I heard that when he was under Lu Licheng before, Lu Licheng called him at three o'clock in the morning to ask him to get the data, and he reported it clearly immediately." Song Yi stared at me with a smile and didn't speak. After dinner, the two walked back to my house holding hands. When we passed a cloakroom, he dragged me in. I thought he was going to buy something, but unexpectedly he bought me a hat, a scarf, and a pair of gloves . "New York is close to the sea, the wind is stronger than Beijing, the humidity is heavy, and it often snows in winter, remember to wear thicker clothes." When I left the store, I was fully armed, with only two eyes exposed.However, people who pass by, even if they only see my eyes, know that this girl must be very happy. He sent me home, and helped me pack my luggage from big to small, and put it at the door. He took his computer bag and a bag of apples, and was about to say goodbye: "Go to bed early, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't see you off." Alright, I'll let Peter pick you up and go to the airport together, just let him take your luggage." "You are suspected of acting for personal gain!" He smiled: "It's not 'suspect', but 'is'." I giggled happily, because he admitted that I was his "private". The two said goodbye at the door, I closed the door, just entered the room, and immediately rushed out the door.By the time I ran out of the elevator in a hurry, he was about to get into a taxi. "Song Yi, Song Yi..." He turned around and looked at me, I ran quickly, threw myself into his arms, and hugged him tightly, his body was stiff, as if he was refusing, but also seemed at a loss. I closed my eyes, tiptoed, and said in his ear: "You know what? I like you very much, I like you very much!" When I was seventeen, I wished I could tell him that I liked him very much. Finally, when I was twenty-eight, this wish came true. I sighed contentedly, let him go, turned and ran home . "Su Man." He called from behind, I stopped, looked at him with a smile, he stared at me, motionless, suddenly, he strode towards me, pulled me into his arms, and wrapped his arms around me tightly , Tighter and tighter, as if to rub me into his chest.I closed my eyes and hugged him tightly. The taxi driver was honking at the side. I didn't care about it just now, but now I felt embarrassed, raised my head, and pushed him gently. The corner of my eye seemed to catch something, and I couldn't help turning my head to check.I seemed to see Lu Licheng's horseman just now.Taking a closer look, there was nothing unusual about the cars passing by on the street, it seemed that it was just a car of the same model passing by. He asked, "What's wrong?" "It looks like someone is watching us." He smiled in my ear: "It seems that someone has been watching." He ignored the taxi driver, hugged me, and drove me all the way to the building.The security guard in the duty room winked and smiled at me. Although I have rough skin and thick flesh, my face couldn't help but burn hot. He finally let me go: "Go upstairs quickly, and don't go downstairs without a coat next time." I nodded heavily, he rubbed my hair, turned to leave, but my parents just walked in, saw a man next to me, and looked handsome, talented, immediately his eyes lit up, I Dad was still a little reserved, my mother didn't even greet me, she rushed to Song Yi first: "You are..." One head turned into two big ones, and I embarrassedly said to Song Yi: "This is my mother, this is my father." Song Yi was also very embarrassed, but he concealed it well, so he couldn't see it, and smiled and called: "Uncle, Auntie". "Mom, why did you get here so soon?" My mother glared at me: "Do you really hope we arrive later?" Turning her head, she smiled like a flower at Song Yi, "Are you Manman's colleague? A friend? How old are you? How long have you known Manman?" gone?" My face was flushed, and I wished I could find a hole right away. Song Yi smiled and replied, "My name is Song Yi, and I work in the same company as Su Man." "Yi with two feathers?" Song Yi replied slightly surprised: "Yes." "Song Yi? Didn't you have a blind date with my Manman?" Mom pointed at him and exclaimed. Song Yi was completely dizzy and looked at me puzzled. I laughed dryly and whispered, "Aunt Chen." Seeing that he didn't respond, I reminded him again, "Outside the south gate of Tsinghua University." Song Yi finally seemed to think of such a thing, which shows how careless he was at that time.I hurriedly said, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, the story of One Thousand and One Nights hasn't been told yet." No, he didn't care at all, he stared at me and asked, "Did you resign and join MG after knowing that I had returned to Beijing after the blind date?" If I keep silent, it is the default.But my mother yelled, "What? You changed jobs to..." I immediately blushed and said, "Mom, Song Yi still has something to do, so I need to go back first." Mom looked at Song Yi, at me, and decided to let me go. Dad looked Song Yi up and down, with the expression of a prospective father-in-law looking at his son-in-law, which made Song Yi a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly said goodbye to us. I waved to him and watched him leave. As soon as he got into the taxi, his mother immediately asked, "Is that the one your Aunt Chen introduced? But isn't that person very bad?" I dragged them into the elevator: "It's that one." Mom reacted: "It turns out that he didn't like my Manman, so he said he was bad?" Dad said: "It looks like this, it's a polite person's way of refusing." Mom let out a dissatisfied "hum", then became cheerful again, and said to Dad: "I don't think he looks down on Manman today!" Dad smiled and nodded. Mom leaned into Dad's ear and whispered to Dad: "My Manman is not stupid! I used to think she was stupid, but she always looked down on her. Look at her rightly, how quick her actions are, and her style is also very good. It's so bold that he quit his job and ran after..." "Mom, I can hear you." I yelled with shame and embarrassment. Mom nodded indifferently: "I know." I was completely defeated by them, and I simply became deaf and dumb, and let them talk.When I entered the house, my mother checked my luggage to see if I had missed anything, while talking about Song Yi with my father, and asked me how far I was going, but I pretended not to hear, and my father saw that my face was getting worse , finally stopped my mother: "Okay, okay! Manman has her own ideas, let's not interfere." My mother smiled and said, "That's right. How can a person who has no idea go to work in the same company as him if he can't get a phone call? I'm completely relieved." After sending off my parents, I immediately called Malatang. I had a lot to tell her urgently. "Hello, who is it?" I put the phone in front of me to see if I dialed the wrong number, it was indeed Malatang. "It's me, you... are you okay?" "Are you in a hurry? I'm having dinner with my parents. If there's nothing urgent, can I call you back later?" "No, no! You can eat!" I glanced at my watch, "I have a flight tomorrow, and I have to go to bed early tonight, so I won't wait for your call. Go back and check my message on QQ." After hanging up the phone, I repeated "you" and "you" several times in a row before I got rid of the energy of talking.What kind of person is Malatang's mother, who can train Malatang like this! Leave a message to Malatang and tell her to get apples from the security guard, and help me deliver some to my eldest sister, and then go to bed.
