Chapter 4 Chapter Four

Rilang sighed. Most people owe debts to their children, but she, Jiao Rilang, owes a lot to her mother, and she doesn't know when. She took the timepiece out of the drawer, her friends had used it, and she wanted to try it too. Playing around for a long time, Ri Lang still can't think of any special memorable day for her. Not that she is strict, but really not. Sighing, she put the watch back in place and locked it. In two days, she informed Huo Yongjin of the time and place of Cen Jieren's meeting. At the same time, he offered advice to Cen Jieren: "Jieren, don't spread the word, and then give the owner a surprise. If she doesn't come, you don't have to be dishonored. Begging for help is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. "

Cen Jieren didn't make a sound, but suddenly his eyes turned red, and he held Rilang's hand, "Let's get married." Ri Lang couldn't help but laugh, "Sell yourself for glory?" "Thanksgiving poster!" "It's not popular anymore." "Why are you so nice to me?" "Jieren, you are difficult to serve. You used to always complain that I refused to make a move." "A woman's heart is a sea needle." Rilang barely spit out a mouthful of tea. The heyday of women's mentality has passed, and the gorgeous adjectives such as the most poisonous woman's heart are no longer effective, which makes Ri Lang, who is still late for the rest of his life, very regretful.

I really didn't expect that Huo Yongjin not only appeared on time, but also gave Cen Jieren a surprise. Cen Jieren described it to Ri Lang frothily. "She got the timing right, we just sat down, the chairman just wanted to speak, she came in, she was all beautiful, her face was cold, she looked confident, followed by a person, everyone recognized that it was her father's Mr. Zhou, private secretary. Wow, all of a sudden, the atmosphere at the scene is heated up..." Huo Yongjin and Secretary Zhou sat in the back seat near the door, and they left quietly in less than twenty minutes without saying a word.

But her appearance already represented certain meanings, and the effect was extraordinary in the turbulent shopping mall. Rilang just felt bored, but in Jianghu, he had to walk this way. If you want to be happy, you must first make others happy; At this time, Rilang wants to retire. There are also three points of envy Huo Yongjin. She called right away. And said: "Yongjin, I would like to invite you to come down to the house for a cup of tea." "Okay." Huo Yongjin agreed very readily. "Yes, is Liang Zhaoping back yet?" "Come back to pack some clothes and go again."

"I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon." "How can I excuse you, I have my own car." Ri Lang took out the timepiece, calculated Huo Yongjin's age, and adjusted the time to when she was fourteen and a half years old. As soon as Huo Yongjin arrived, she asked her, "When and how many days were you in Feilengcui?" Unexpectedly, Huo Yongjin remembered it so clearly, "May 16th." Rilang pulled out the watch, "What do you think of this watch?" Huo Yongjin has seen countless gold and diamond watches, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's nothing unusual, it's very bulky."

"Put it on and see." Huo Yongjin wears the timepiece on her wrist, and like everyone else, she is attracted to it. Rilang pressed the knob, and it started beating. Huo Yongjin yawned. Rilang said: "It's really a pleasure for a person to be able to relive happy memories." "Oh, but you can't be too lost in the past..." Huo Yongjin tilted his delicate face slightly and fell asleep. Rilang used several small soft pillows to cushion her neck and waist, making her lie comfortably on the couch to dream sweet dreams. Huo Yongjin is so kind-hearted, he really has to repay her well.

It's a pity that in the sweet dreams of the couple Liang Zhaoping and Huo Yongjin, neither of them appeared. Same bed, different dreams. Rilang realized more and more that the words of the ancients were not wrong at all. She put Huo Yongjin down to deal with the documents by herself. He suddenly raised his head and saw the neon lights all over the city, it was already dark. Rilang went to see Huo Yongjin. I saw that she was breathing evenly, her face was peaceful, and the corner of her mouth was smiling, it was a good dream. A day in the dream is also a day in the world, if you exchange one day for another, if you are really happy, it will be worth it.

There are countless documents in Jiao Rilang's case that need to be cleaned up, and it is no small matter to lose a day for nothing. She is impatient to dream. She is a woman with the most boring, rigid and boring mentality. Then Rilang made sandwiches to wrap his belly, replied several faxes in a row, and made overseas phone calls to confirm several things. Stretching, just about to take a shower, Huo Yongjin woke up. She bent down and sat up, looking at Rilang in confusion, "How could I fall asleep?" "Did you have a sweet dream?" Ri Lang smiled. "No, I had a nightmare."

Rilang was taken aback, "Didn't you say that on May 16th in Feilengcui, you met a boy with a Vatican dumbbell who has been following you on a small sheep motorbike?" "I must have misremembered. It wasn't May 16th. May 16th was the day my elder brother died in an accident." "Oh, Yongjin, I'm so sorry!" Huo Yongjin said in a daze, "It's none of your business, just look at my memory." "Yongjin, rewarding you has turned into punishing you." "Ah, terrible, we were sleeping, suddenly, my father's private phone rang, and my mother went to the study to listen in her nightgown, and a few seconds later she came out screaming, squatting on the ground, howling like a wild animal. I am the eldest daughter, seeing that the phone has not been hung up, I went to ask who it is, and the other end is Secretary Zhou."

Ri Lang listened blankly. Huo Yongjin's tone was bleak, she seemed to bring out the sorrow of that day from her dream, at this moment Rilang's small apartment was full of hesitation and sadness. "Where is your father?" "Him? He's in the small mansion." Rilang couldn't bear to ask any more questions. Huo Yongjin covered his face with his hands, "How could I have such a dream?" She put down her hands, "Ri Lang, what's going on?" Ri Lang gave her a glass of wine. "Ri Lang, do you have spells?" Rilang silently removed the watch from Huo Yongjin's hand.

Her half-baked mage almost killed people. She said: "I think about it every day, and I dream about it at night." "But big brother never entered my dreams." "Do you miss him?" Huo Yongjin rested his head on his hand, "Give me another cup." After finishing that cup, Huo Yongjin never mentioned family affairs again. Rilang opens a window to let the grief in the room escape with the wind. Huo Yongjin patted the sofa, "This is a dream bed." She said goodbye. After that day, she became estranged from Jiao Rilang. Seeing that she hadn't heard from her for a long time, Ri Lang asked her once or twice, but Huo Yongjin didn't reply. The friendship between Rilang and Yongjin is over. Probably the Huo family realized that Yongjin was being used and warned her. Rilang didn't feel it was a pity, she had made her purpose clear long ago when she was in contact with Huo Yongjin. Jiao Rilang doesn't worry about having no friends, and Fan Lixuan is her lifelong best friend. Lixuan came to look for her. "I heard about that, what magic weapon did you use? How did you become so powerful?" "Hey, don't be modest, don't you still have that kind of method?" "How did Huo Yongjin fall for your bait?" "Do you remember Liang Zhaoping?" "Yes, yes, he married Huo Yongjin." "Miss Huo wants to see the true face of the person in front of her before making friends with me." Lixuan went up immediately: "So she paid the price." "Don't speak so harshly." "Then what should I say?" "We both love each other." "It's really wretched, and it's too flattering for Liang Zhaoping." "Lixuan, you can't help yourself." "It's not for yourself, why did you soak in the muddy water?" "But Cen Jieren is very happy." "To please the ex-boyfriend's wife, in order to make the current boyfriend happy?" "They have nothing to do with me at the moment." "Thank goodness for that." "Huo Yongjin is a very lovely woman." "Give me that kind of living environment, and I will be ten times cuter than her." "You, I believe it, but I have seen a few people who are getting more and more greedy, never satisfied, and bullying and bullying are their lifelong career." "That's talent, too." "Lixuan, you look very good." "Here's my new business card." "Changed jobs?" "yes." "congratulations!" "It still values ​​me there, and I hope to have a new start, so I can feel proud soon." Ri Lang is sincerely happy for her. "Hey, what is this?" Li Xuan made a new discovery. "telescope." "What are you looking at? The handsome man facing the window?" "It is said that your soil is soil, and astronomical telescopes are not used to see life on earth." "Hey, the telescope also has a camera." "yes." "Are you studying celestial bodies?" Li Xuan saw a lot of reference books. "I'm watching Libra." "Hi! You were born in September, you seem to be a Libra." Ri Lang smiled, "This pastime is beneficial to the body and mind. After watching the stars for a long time, you will feel small and care less about worldly affairs." Lixuan teased her: "Yes, let someone step on your head. If he hits you on the right side of the cheek, you hit him on the left side. If he strips you of your coat, you even give him your underwear." Rilang sighed, "It's a good thing if you can do it." She couldn't do that to her mother, and often bargained with her. "Ri Lang, have you contacted my cousin yet?" Ri Lang understood that this was the real reason why Fan Lixuan came to her. She said gently: "Lixuan, it's still popular to be a big media at the moment." Lixuan replied: "But there are many men and women who are very suitable, and it is a pity that they cannot be together." "That's not fate." "I am willing to be the middleman." "We already know each other, thank you." "Wen Yingjie actually has a lot of flavor." "I believe you are right." Ri Lang said calmly. "He fell in love once not long ago, and it didn't end well." "I once loved deeply, and this life is not in vain." "The girl left him." Rilang loves to listen to love stories, "What happened?" Her interest came. "I didn't ask, I don't know." "He doesn't look too sad." But Ri Lang knew that some people screamed when the blade was scraped, while others bleed but did not shed tears. "Believe me, he's devastated." Ri Lang raised his hands, "I'm the worst at healing broken hearts." "You underestimate people too much," Li Xuan disapproved, "Wen Yingjie is a man, so he shouldn't be torn apart." "Duh, modern women are just as strong." "Yes," Fan Lixuan sang emotionally, "I have let go of my arms and become a human being." Rilang boldly asked, "What about you? Lixuan." "I started dating yesterday." "Great!" "I like that man's eyes, blue, like the Mediterranean Sea in summer, sunny, he is not my race." Ri Lang smiled and comforted Fan Lixuan: "The same solar system is fine." After all, her heart skipped a beat. Li Xuan went on uprightly: "As long as you share the same interests, it doesn't matter if you come from another galaxy." Really, it's hard to find a confidant, no matter where he comes from. Li Xuan lay down on the sofa in the past. "I really hope to have another sweet dream." Rilang really envied Lixuan, she had a wonderful teenage years, she could almost simply go back and live again. "What do you want today?" Fan Lixuan recalled with relish: "When I was in the third year of high school, two boys pursued me at the same time—" "Lixuan, I don't want to listen to this kind of foolishness. Stepping on two boats is not a compliment." "Phew, you're young." "Seventeen or eighteen years old, not too young." Fan Lixuan closed his eyes, "Don't wake me up." Rilang hopes she can do the same. Turning back from the study, Ri Lang found that Fan Lixuan had fallen asleep. Rilang suddenly summoned up his courage, opened the drawer, took out the timepiece that Chenxi gave her, and kept turning the numbers back to the day when she was only one year old. Rilang put it on, lay down on the carpet, and pressed the handle. She calmly folded her hands on her chest and stared at the ceiling. No, no, she didn't want to go back to see herself, she wanted to go back to see her parents, and wanted to know how this failed marriage was formed. Everyone come to sleep. Soon, Ri Lang felt that the surroundings became quiet, and there was darkness around her. Ri Lang is not afraid of the dark, but it is not a good feeling to stretch out her hands and fingers, so she raised her voice and asked, "What should I do?" The lights around her gradually turned on, as if someone had turned on the desk lamp. She stood in a corridor and subconsciously walked forward.Oh, this is really a weird dream, can we go from here to childhood?How long will it take? While hesitating, she heard the cry of a child, a slight "Wooooowah". When she arrived, she told herself, this is little Jiao Rilang. She quickened her pace, and the cry of the child was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, she came to a living room of a simple furnished residence. She saw herself. Jiao Rilang stopped in her tracks, "Is this me?" She blurted out. A toddler, dressed in lovely pastel-coloured clothes, is sitting on a woman's lap, dancing and fussing.Intuitively, Jiao Rilang knew that the child was not her. She knew that her childhood environment was not good, and she had never worn such elegant clothes. Whose home is this?She looked around wonderingly.The place is spacious and the furnishings are simple and practical, just the way she likes it. Ri Lang's eyes slowly turned to the young woman. She was stunned, only to feel that the hairs all over her body stood on end. Of course Jiao Rilang recognized Jiao Rilang. Is it her or who? I saw her wearing casual clothes, with a radiant face, coaxing the baby in her arms, saying something meaningless in her mouth: "Why is it so noisy, only pigs are noisy, are you a baby pig? How are you, baby pig?" He didn't take it seriously at all, and the child continued to lose his temper. Sweat dripped from Rilang's forehead. This is the future! If you guessed right, this grumpy toddler is hers. Rilang stood in a corner of the living room in a daze. She must have dialed the wrong timepiece. She wanted to go back to the past, but ended up in the future world. That timepiece didn't have an instruction manual, which was really troublesome. At this time, someone called her: "Ri Lang, Ri Lang." She raised her head and said with a smile, "Dad is back." The father, of course, is the father of the baby, her partner. Rilang was very excited, who could this be?She wants to know too much. At this moment, it was dark and I couldn't see anything. Then someone pushed her hard, "Jiao Rilang, Jiao Rilang, wake up, wake up." Rilang was very angry and said loudly: "Don't talk to me, since when will a person not even have the freedom to sleep?" "Okay," someone breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally woke up." Hey, this is Fan Lixuan's voice. Rilang opened his eyes. "What is this place?" she asked aloud. "This is the Holy Love Hospital." Ri Lang was stunned, and quickly sat up, "Why am I in the hospital?" The doctor laughed and said, "Miss Fan, please explain to her slowly." Fan Lixuan looked at Rilang, "Do you remember what happened before you fell asleep?" "Remember, I will take a nap at my house with you." "Yes, but I woke up an hour later and you didn't." "Then there's no need to send me to the hospital." "Miss, do you know how long you slept?" Ri Lang couldn't believe it, "How long?" "Two days and two nights, scaring people." What?Rilang was in a daze. Heh, one day in the mountains is a thousand years in the world. In the dream, it was just a three-to-two-minute experience, and she didn't even see the face of her future partner clearly, but in the real world, she had already lost two days and two nights. "What day is it?" "Sunday afternoon." "Oh, fortunately, I don't need to ask for leave." "You still hang on to this. At one point, the doctor suspected that you were poisoned by nameless, and you might have become a vegetative state." Rilang quickly raised his wrist, "Where is my watch?" "I put it away for you." Lixuan opened his handbag, took out the timepiece, and returned it to Rilang. Rilang quickly put it on. "Ri Lang, why are you in a trance?" Ri Lang looked around, "Can I be discharged from the hospital?" "Qin Jieren has been here twice, Rilang, he treats you like this, holding your hand and shedding tears." "Notify him I'm awake." "Ri Lang, what medicine have you taken, but the doctor said there is no foreign matter in the blood." "I think I'm probably exhausted. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who commits suicide." "Rilang—" Ri Lang held his friend's hand, "Don't worry." After half a day of turmoil, Ri Lang was able to leave the hospital. Cen Jieren came to pick him up in a speeding car, seeing his attire, he was obviously coming from a reception, so he was thoughtful. He told Ri Lang: "I will accompany you in two hours." "No." "Stop talking nonsense." Rilang listened carefully to his voice, no, it wasn't him. The voice in the dream was not Cen Jieren. Who is it? After this blunder, Rilang dared not use the timepiece carelessly. After losing two days and two nights, Ri Lang saw her future destination, she smiled, it was worth it. She never expected that she would become such a patient mother. Rilang leaned on the sofa and couldn't help laughing, baby pig!Fortunately, she came up with such an ugly nickname. The kid was clearly 100% spoiled. She was a little girl in pink clothes, she was probably a girl, I hope it was a baby girl... Ri Lang kept recalling that dream. Doorbell rang. As soon as Cen Jieren entered the door, he loosened his tie, took off his shoes and poured beer. "Hey," Rilang protested, "this is not your home, what will people think?" "Ri Lang, I want you to go for a full body checkup." "Don't worry about it." "Sleeping for forty-eight hours is not a joke." Ri Lang sighed, "I'm extremely tired." "You've only walked a third of your life, and you're tired so early?" Ri Lang let out a chuckle: "Are you going to be ninety years old?" "why not?" Cen Jieren puffed up his chest, and saw that his face was flushed and his spirits were high, Rilang was very happy for him. "Ri Lang, let's get married. You are in charge and I am in charge. We will succeed." He was full of confidence. "Jieren, I don't love you." "Listen to what this is saying, so caring about me and saying that you don't love me." "After marriage, you kept pulling me around to attend social gatherings. Within three months, I would be so annoyed that I would become a deserter." "You will get used to it." Cen Jieren smiled. "thanks." "Ri Lang, I want you—" Rilang covered his mouth with his hands, "I want this and I want that, it's terrible. Please go back, I have my own way, you don't care about me, I don't care about you, we are good friends." " "What's that?" Cen Jieren smiled, "Xu Zhimo's latest poem?" No, that voice does not belong to Cen Jieren. Rilang can be sure. "I'm tired and I want to rest." "After sleeping for so long, you still say you are tired? Why don't you listen to my recent record." Without Rilang's guidance, Cen Jieren has already talked on and on.Who and who are his defeated opponents at this moment, and all ministers lie down at the foot of the mountain and look up at his achievements. Mr. A has been against him all his life, but at this moment he has to quietly retire. Mr. B and Mr. C are not afraid of their voices and colors. Others look at them as little mice... and so on. , Cen Jieren is the only one. The more Rilang listened, the more enjoyable he was, and he kept smiling. It's a joy to be so arrogant, why not?It doesn't hurt people, and it's not happy for nothing. "Ri Lang, I have succeeded. I have recovered all the ground I lost. I have already conquered the mountain and am in an invincible position." Rilang is obedient. "The good battle has been fought, and what should be done has been done." Cen Jieren said with a high air. "Yes," Rilang continued for him, "when will you go to God to receive your crown?" Cen Jieren smiled, "You're spoiling the fun again, Rilang." But this time he wasn't angry. Ri Lang patted him on the shoulder, "It's time for everyone to rest." Cen Jieren finally returned home. Ri Lang shook his head and turned off the light. A person stands out because he is unwilling to be ordinary, not because he wants to show to anyone. How old are these audiences?It's just a group of people who like to watch the excitement, why bother to satisfy them. Doing better is because I want to improve the quality of life, not for other reasons. Cen Jieren obviously doesn't think this is the driving force behind his progress, he loves the audience, and he can't do without the light stage; however, he has his own fun. He was afraid that Ri Lang would teach him to be self-absorbed, and Ri Lang was afraid that he would pull her on stage to perform, and the two really couldn't get together. Rilang fell asleep. In the middle of the night, I was woken up by the sound of the neighbor's baby crying, and I was in a daze. I was only lucky that I didn't have a family. It was still daylight. When I was a student, I always went out at dawn when the traffic was not so congested. Rilang has been lonely. She suddenly became weak and called her mother. Ms. Yao soon came to listen, apparently already up. Ri Lang cleared his throat, "I was thinking, maybe we should have a meal together." But her mother asked, "Who are you?" She did not recognize her daughter's voice. "I'm Rilang." "Oh, you," she was surprised, "what's the matter?" "It's okay, just get together." But they never had this habit. Ms. Yao froze for a while, and then reluctantly said, "Let me know after you book the date and place." "Okay, let me think about it and contact you when I have time." The phone hung up, another failure. It is unknown when this gap will be crossed. Rilang has heard from many friends that when his mother gets older, the mother and daughter finally understand and start talking and laughing. For Jiao Rilang, this is an extravagant hope. Lixuan advised once: "Forgive her!" "Lixuan, you don't understand," Rilang said immediately, "I forgive her? She thinks it's all my fault, and she's not ready to forgive me yet." Li Xuan was stunned, "What's wrong with you?" Rilang is no longer willing to discuss any further. How about telling me where the chocolate cake is particularly delicious, and what brand of jeans are really docile.Also, whoever is really good will be promoted to that seat in the government in his thirties. Small talk is best to talk about irrelevant things, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach. There's a short note on the fax machine. "Ri Lang, the newspaper has been received, thank you, please note that sometimes novels and essays are not on the same page, please don't miss out, Yingjie." Rilang couldn't help but laugh, he is really a fan of newspapers, to this point, he can be called a fanatic of newspapers. It is good to have sustenance in life. She washed up and went to work. Back in the office building, I saw colleagues from the Electrical and Mechanical Department and the secretary making noise around her desk. "What's up?" "Miss Jiao, the fax machine was receiving. It suddenly got stuck and started to smoke. I hurriedly called someone to come up to fix it. It seems that it has been reimbursed." Rilang said casually, "What brand is so crude? Return it and ask for compensation." "Miss Jiao, I'm afraid I have to carry the whole thing away." "approve." But Rilang's sharp eyes saw that half a page of paper was jammed in the incoming and outgoing part of the fax machine. "Give me this page." The repairman struggled several times before pulling out half of the paper. The paper was already burnt yellow, and Rilang could only see a line of words: "Wanxia, ​​don't come here without any problems."
