Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Fruits of Midsummer

Room 3903, Blue Roof Building. Su Cheng embraced Yunuo from behind, with his chin resting on her long hair, and said softly, "Could you go back to Suzhou with me during the summer vacation? My small apartment on the seventeenth floor has been renovated, and I just need a hostess." This is Su Cheng's second visit. From the window on the thirty-ninth floor of the hotel, one can see the eternal lights of the whole city.Yuno turned around, looked at Su Cheng with a smile and said, "But I really have something to do this summer vacation, and Qiqi will go back to school, and I promise to make up all the homework for her."

"How much did he give you?" Su Cheng asked. "Who?" "Qiqi's father." "Hehe." Yuno let go of Su Cheng, sat down on the sofa and said, "It's not about money." "What's the problem?" Su Cheng didn't understand. "You'll know when you meet Qiqi." Yuno said, "She is a lonely child, and she needs me." "What's the reason?" Su Cheng stroked his forehead and sighed, "I'm also a lonely child, and I need you too." "Su Cheng, you are in your seventies and eighties, don't be foolish!" Yuno laughed at him.

"You also know that I'm seventy or eighty," Su Cheng said, squatting down beside Yuno, "Then why don't you hurry up and marry me, and have the heart to let me sing single love songs all the time?" "Damn it!" Yuno stretched out his hand to hit him and said, "Is there anyone like you, it's not serious to propose marriage!" Su Cheng immediately knelt down on one knee, pulled out a red velvet box from his pocket as if by magic, opened it, and inside was a sparkling diamond ring. "Marry me, Yuno." Su Cheng said affectionately. Yuno opened his eyes wide, covered his mouth with his hands, and didn't start to smile quietly, tears rolled out when he smiled.

"Marry me." Su Cheng continued, "To tell you the truth, I came here today prepared, if you don't, I'll jump off the thirty-ninth floor!" "Wow!" Yuno said, wiping away tears, "I have to think about whether I can find such a rambunctious person as my husband." Su Cheng took out the ring and threw away the box.He took Yuno's hand, put the ring on her slender finger carefully, and said successfully, "There is no time for you to think about it. I declare that you have been trapped by me from now on." "Talking about marriage is a major event in life." Yuno asked Su Cheng seriously, "Are you sure you won't regret it?"

"If you want to say regret." Su Cheng said affirmatively, "It means that I didn't pursue you when I graduated." Yuno was silent. Su Cheng went on at length: "Actually, I regretted it when I returned to Suzhou. When I miss you, I go to your website, read your words and pictures, and read your complaints and thoughts hidden in your words and pictures. I'm really sorry, I'm a science major, I don't have a liberal arts mind, so it took me a long time to understand you. But I swear, I will make up for you in the days to come for all the grievances you have suffered. "

"What about her?" Yuno finally asked, biting his lower lip. "Who?" "Tada." "We broke up." Su Cheng said firmly, "I came to you after I settled everything with her." "She loves you very much." "But love can't be forced. You have to spend your whole life with the person you like." Su Cheng said, "I have a good job in Suzhou, which can give you a very stable environment and let you do what you like to do. You Nuo Please believe me, I will spend my whole life to give you the greatest happiness." The marriage proposal was really a sudden matter for the wife, Yuno still didn't know what to say, so he just lowered his head and turned the ring on his hand, the ring was not big, but quite exquisite.I believe that Su Cheng must have put in a lot of effort when picking it.

At this moment, someone rang the doorbell, and Yunuo rushed to open the door with a sigh of relief. What surprised him was a bouquet of huge red roses, each of which was so bright. The waiter held it and said, "Mr. Su asked us to order it." "Yes." Su Cheng stepped forward from behind and took the rose.Handed it to Yuno in front of the waiter and said, "Honey, do you like it?" wife. An outrageously affectionate title. Yuno kicked the door shut, and screamed: "Su Cheng, Su Cheng, I protest, I really can't play anymore, if I continue to play, I will go crazy."

Su Cheng put the flowers on the table, grabbed Yuno's hands and said, "Protesting is invalid!" After speaking, he lifted Yuno's chin and kissed her deeply. This is their first kiss. The last time Su Cheng came to see You Nuo, he happened to meet Yuno who wanted to take a group of photos to accompany his new work, so he accompanied her to a small town more than 50 kilometers away from the city.There is a beautiful lake there, with lonely and blue lake water all year round.It was late at night, and they stayed in a small hotel by the lake, one room, one single lamp, one small bed for each, and they talked face to face until midnight, nothing happened.It was only when he was sending him to the train station the next day that he held her hand in the turbulent and disturbed crowd without showing any traces, and he continued to let go of her hand without showing any traces until he reached the ticket gate.

"I'll come again," he said to Yuno. He didn't break his promise, he will come back soon, and in his own words, he came prepared, with his brilliant diamond ring, a kiss to confirm his love is inevitable. Yuno couldn't find any reason to refuse. She buried her head in Su Cheng's chest and said, "You know, I'm a difficult little girl to take care of." "Let me use happiness to train you slowly?" Su Cheng was confident. "I'm afraid." Yuno said. "What are you afraid of?" "I'm afraid that love is not as beautiful as I imagined."

Su Cheng hugged her tightly and said, "Hehe, it's a bit difficult to wait on, but I will do my best." In the evening, they made an appointment with Qiqi to have dinner at "Sandia".Su Cheng and You Nuo arrived first, and after a while, Qi Qi came, her hair was cut short again, maybe it was because of the lighting, it turned out to be slightly purple.Seeing her approaching from a distance, Su Cheng asked Yuno in disbelief: "Is she a sophomore?" "Yes." Yuno said. "God." Su Cheng said, "It seems like I have been in society for ten years!"

"The appearance is just for support, and soon you will find that she is just a child." After Yuno finished speaking, he stood up and waved to Qi Qi.Qiqi finally approached, with a critical smile on her face, looked at Su Cheng and said, "Hello." "Okay." Su Cheng replied. "Hey, hello!" Qi Qi exaggeratedly shouted at Yuno: "Your boyfriend is so handsome!" "Hush!" Yuno stopped her, "Save me some face in public places." "It's really handsome, I'm not flattering you." Qi Qiyi sat down and shouted at the waiter, "Have a glass of brandy!" "Little girls should drink Cappuccino." Su Cheng said. "Can't afford it?" Qiqi said unhappily, "If you can't afford it, tell me earlier, I won't be merciless when I start ordering things in a while." "You little friend has a lot of skills." Su Cheng laughed and said to You Nuo, "As soon as we meet, you will send my army!" Yuno raised the knife and fork on the table and said viciously to Su Cheng: "Be content, she didn't use this to deal with you, it's just for my face." "You make me look like a Nazi!" Qi Qi is currently making up history, and she can use what she has learned at any time.Seeing Mama Wu threading needles and threads, I called her Huang Daopo.When I saw someone with a shaved head on TV, I pointed to and called Chiang Kai-shek. Qiqi has the wisdom of Qiqi, but it is often used in the wrong place. A meal is somewhat boring.Just chatting about Baobaolan, talking about her being away from the Internet for a long time, guessing the ending of her novel and whether she might become a great writer in the future.Su Cheng couldn't get in the conversation, so he smiled and drank.Qiqi drank too, her drinking capacity was no worse than Su Cheng's, only Yuno, enjoying a glass of freshly squeezed fresh orange juice slowly. When it was almost over, Yuno said to Qiqi: "Little boss, I want to take a week off, is that okay?" Qiqi pouted her mouth: "Why are you going?" "Go to Suzhou." Yuno looked at Su Cheng and said, "Go to his house." "The ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws." Qiqi said, "Can you take me with you?" "Okay." Su Cheng said generously, "If you want, let's go and have fun together. My house is quite big and we can live in it!" "I'm not happy to go!" Qiqi wiped her mouth vigorously with a towel and said, "The weather is getting hotter every day, so it's better to stay at home." "Isn't your father going to take you to Europe?" Yuno suggested, "Why don't you take this opportunity to relax?" "Listen to him!" Qiqi said, "Which of his words can he take seriously? Work, entertainment, what he loves most are endless work and endless entertainment, everything else is fucking bullshit!" After finishing speaking, Qiqi probed to Su Cheng and said, "Do you have work addiction? If so, I suggest you not marry a wife." "Work is important, wife is also important, and neither can be missed." Su Cheng laughed, put his hand on Yuno's shoulder and said, "Wife, don't you think so?" Yuno's face turned red. Qiqi laughed loudly and said, "It turns out that you have become someone else's wife after seeing you for a day. But he is so handsome, you have to be careful, handsome men are easier to play tricks on." "Don't sow discord!" Su Cheng acted angrily. Yuno just smiled. "OK! Count me as nonsense." Qi Qi said, "My light bulb won't work anymore, I'm going home to sleep." After speaking, she waved her hand, stood up, and left cleanly. After she left, Su Cheng said to Yuno: "This girl is a little strange." "What's wrong?" "There is a natural hostility in her eyes. I don't know if it is towards me or everyone." "You worry too much." Yuno said, "Qiqi is a special child, what she has is not what she wants, so she is different." That night, Yuno did not accompany Su Cheng back to her room in the Blue Roof Building, but insisted on letting Su Cheng take her back to the dormitory.In fact, it's not that he doesn't believe in Su Cheng, but he's always afraid that something will happen. Everything happened too fast, and he wasn't even fully prepared psychologically. Su Cheng didn't force You Nuo, they walked back to school slowly holding hands with the summer breeze blowing, and said goodbye at the gate.Before breaking up, Su Cheng kissed Yuno for the second time. The kiss was lingering, soft and endless, reaching the depths of Yuno's soul.It's just that Yuno still doesn't quite understand whether the happiness he has been waiting for for many years is the happiness he really wants? Or does it feel unreal because the happiness comes so quickly? "Come back with me." Su Cheng begged in a low voice. "Don't be childish." Yuno raised his toes, kissed him on the cheek and said, "The days will be long." "But I'm afraid that everything will disappear too quickly." Su Cheng said, "You Nuo, you are so beautiful, that's why I feel uneasy." "Don't try to flatter me!" Yuno let go of Su Cheng and said, "You don't need to pick me up for the express at 9:30 tomorrow morning, see you at the station?" "Bye." Su Cheng stroked her hair, and finally left reluctantly. Yuno went back to the dormitory and turned on the computer. In the chat room, she unexpectedly met Bao Baolan, whom she hadn't seen for many days. She happily said to Bao Baolan, "I had dinner with Qiqi tonight, and we talked about you. Your novel is written." How's it going?" "The ending has been changing." Baobaolan said. "Actually, stick to yourself." Yuno said, "Sometimes you can turn a deaf ear to the editor's opinion." "The key is that I myself have been hesitating." "What about the college entrance examination?" "The score came down early, but I didn't check it, and it was useless to check it." "Hey, coward." "I've been living in a stranger's house for a while," Bao Baolan said. "Honey, I often feel like I have nowhere to go. I wake up every day in a panic." "This place of peace of mind is my home." Yuno said, "Calm down, maybe everything will be easy to handle." "Ok." "Let's say something happy." Yuno said, "Someone proposed to me today." Baobaolan made a smiling face: "Then do you agree?" "Ok." "That's great." Bao Baolan said, "That man is very happy." "Lan." You Nuo sincerely invited, "If you are not happy, why not come out for a walk, Qi Qi and I hope you come to play, she has always wanted to see you." "Thank you." Baobaolan said, "I'll think about it." She didn't want to talk too much, which showed that she was really not in a good mood.But everyone has to go through some twists and turns, and Baobaolan will survive. Yuno firmly believes that she will have a bright future with her extraordinary literary talents. After saying goodbye to Baobaolan, Yuno cleaned up the website again, and it was already one o'clock in the morning when he went to bed, he simply packed up his luggage, set the alarm clock of his mobile phone to eight o'clock in the morning, and then went to sleep in peace. In the early morning, the mobile phone rang sharply. Yuno took it for granted that it was an alarm clock, closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to press it off. Who knew it would ring again soon, only then did he realize that it was a phone call, and he answered it in a daze. It was Mama Wu's anxious voice: "Is that you, Miss Yuno, something happened to Qiqi, come here!" Yuno was startled, woke up, and quickly asked, "What happened?" "Hurry up and take a taxi, let's talk about it when we get here." After Mama Wu finished speaking, the phone hung up. You Nuo put on his clothes in three steps, tidied things up and rushed to Qiqi's house. When he arrived at Qiqi's house, he found that the door was open and the living room was full of people. Wheat was there, Lin Huanzhi was there, and Mama Wu exist.Qi Qi confronted them, holding a small blade in his left hand, and his eyes seemed to burst into flames. "Qiqi!" Maizi stepped forward, "If you have something to say, don't hurt yourself like this." Qiqi raised the blade in her left hand and stepped back up the stairs, screaming: "None of you are allowed to come over, and whoever comes, I will make him look good!" He resolutely drew a big bloody mouth. "Qiqi!" Lin Huanzhi wanted to rush forward. "Don't come over!" Qiqi closed her eyes and stabbed again. Lin Huanzhi was too frightened to go any further, so he could only say in a pleading tone, "Okay, I won't come over, you put down the knife first." "No, no, no!" Qiqi was almost crazy, she shook her head and shouted, the blood on her right arm had already dripped onto the floor. Seeing this, Yuno quickly pulled Maimai and Lin Huanzhi away, and shouted at Qiqi, "Qiqi, you want to die, don't you?" The injured hand must have hurt so badly, Qiqi's face became distorted and disturbed.She gasped and said, "You Nuo, don't come here, this is my own business, don't worry about it!" "Is it not easy to die?" Yuno said, "Your little blade can only scare people!" After Yuno finished speaking, he walked quickly to the middle of the restaurant, picked up the sharp fruit knife in the fruit plate, and pointed it at Qi Qi. Walking in front of him, he said as he walked, "Come here, use this, this knife can kill with one blow!" Qi Qi was so frightened that she retreated up the stairs. But Yuno followed him all the time: "Come on, if you have the courage, use this knife to stab your body, and it will be over once and for all!" Qiqi's legs softened and she sat on the stairs.Yuno snatched the blade from her, and threw it downstairs together with the fruit knife in his own hand, and shouted at the three stunned people below, "Come here soon?" Maizi was the first to react, she rushed up with the first aid kit and bandaged Qiqi's wound. Yuno held Qiqi's head in his arms, listened to her whimpering like a small animal, comforted her and said, "Hey, it's okay, it's over, it's okay." Together with Mama Wu, they worked together to help Qiqi back to the room. Maizi gave Qiqi a sedative, but she didn't resist. She pressed her lips together and fell asleep slowly, with her head tilted to one side.Lavender hair concealed her pale face. "What's going on?" Yuno asked Maizi. "Last night, Qiqi's father had a social event, and it was almost six o'clock in the morning when he got home. Qiqi also stayed up all night, and was still playing online games. The father and daughter had an argument like this. When I came, it was already like this. gone." "It's all for show." Mama Wu casually picked up a piece of clothing next to Qiqi's bed and wiped away her tears, "It's just a good day, it's all for show." "Okay, let's go out, let her sleep for a while, she should be fine when she wakes up." Maizi beckoned them out.Yuno went downstairs and saw Lin Huanzhi sitting on the sofa, looking extremely tired. "It's okay." Maizi walked behind him and put his hand on his shoulder. "Thank you." Lin Huanzhi raised his head and said to Yuno, "I'm really sorry to trouble you so early." "It's okay." Yuno said, "I'm Qiqi's friend, this is what I should do. But I still think it's better for such things to happen less in the future." "I've tolerated her very much." Lin Huanzhi said, "It's her that goes too far day by day." "What is too much?" Yuno became excited, "What have you ever given her? Your money, your sympathy, or your indifference, your incomprehension?!" "You Nuo." Maizi stopped her and said, "It's not fair for you to say that. You also know that the doctor diagnosed Qi Qi as mild depression." "I don't care if I'm depressed or not!" Yuno said, "I'm just a tutor, maybe I shouldn't care so much, but I repeat, Qiqi, she is my friend, and you put all your faults on her." She never reflects on herself, that's unfair!" Speaking of this, Yuno's cell phone rang, and it was Su Cheng who shouted anxiously: "Why haven't you arrived at the station yet, you still have 20 minutes to drive." "Oh, I'm sorry." Yuno patted his forehead and said, "I have something to do in the morning, you wait for me, I'll come over right away, I should be in time." "Is there something wrong?" Lin Huanzhi immediately stood up and said, "I'll take you by car." "I'm going to Suzhou today." Yuno said, "But you don't need to take it off, and you haven't rested all night, so I'd better take a taxi by myself and rest assured." "Let me deliver it." Maizi said, "I also came by car." "I'll take it." Lin Huanzhi's tone could not be refused, he stood up and walked to the door, opened the door, turned back and said to Yuno: "Let's go." Lin Huanzhi drove the car quickly and steadily.In the car, the two of them had nothing to say for a long time, and finally Yuno said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I think I was too sloppy just now, but I really feel sorry for Qiqi." "I understand." Lin Huanzhi said, "Your words make sense." "You must communicate well." Yuno said, "You need to spend more time with her." "What major do you study?" Lin Huanzhi changed the subject. "Chinese." Yuno said. "Oh." Lin Huanzhi said, "Thanks to you today. Many times, I have nothing to do with her, and just thinking about it gives me a headache." He finished and sighed. Yuno heard a middle-aged man's sigh for the first time, it was long and sharp, carrying a very penetrating loneliness and helplessness.It made Yuno's heart turn a thousand times. "Just get off here." Lin Huanzhi said, "It's not easy to park over there. I wish you a pleasant journey." Yuno got out of the car, but changed her mind temporarily. She poked her head through the car window and said to Lin Huanzhi, "Wait for me at a convenient parking place in front, and I'll come back after saying hello to my friend." "What?" Lin Huanzhi didn't understand. "You can travel anytime." Yuno said, "But, I think Qiqi needs me now." "Okay." Lin Huanzhi nodded and quickly drove away. When Yuno arrived at the ticket gate, Su Cheng was already furious. He hit Yuno on the head and said, "I want to let your husband dove, so he won't come for a long time!" "Hey." Yuno smiled, "Didn't it mean something urgent." "Let's go." Su Cheng said, "The train will leave if it's late." "Su Cheng, listen to me." You Nuo put his arms around Su Cheng, looked up at him and said, "Forgive me for not being able to go to Suzhou with you today, Qiqi has something wrong with her, I have to stay with her. " "What is this?" Su Cheng said, "I called my parents last night, and they have made all preparations to welcome you." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yuno said, "When Qiqi is fine, I will definitely go to Suzhou to find you, okay?" "Not good." Su Cheng pulled Yuno back, "You follow me now." "Su Cheng!" "Could it be that I'm not as important as Qi Qi?" "It's different." Yuno said, "Su Cheng is bad and unreasonable." The broadcast urged over and over again: "Passengers on train T711, please get on the train quickly, passengers on train T711, please get on the train quickly..." Su Cheng finally carried his bag and went into the station without looking back. Yuno left the station full of worries, and finally found Lin Huanzhi's car outside the square. He was lying on the steering wheel, as if he had fallen asleep. When Yuno didn't know whether to wake him up, he suddenly Lifting his head, he opened the door for Yuno and said, "Are you done?" "Yeah." Yuno replied, "Let's go back, I don't know if Qi Qi has woken up." As soon as I got in the car, there was a text message from Su Cheng on the phone: "I am very disappointed and heartbroken." Yuno replied: "I'm sorry." After returning, turn off the phone. She turned her head away from the window, feeling the urge to cry, but finally held back. And Lin Huanzhi's biggest advantage is that he talks less.On the contrary, Yuno felt at ease, and simply closed his eyes in his car to rest his mind. Back at Qiqi's home, Qiqi is still sleeping.Yuno stayed by Qiqi's bedside, reading a book.This is the book that Lin Huanzhi bought for Qiqi. He gave Qiqi a lot of things that many other girls dream of, but Qiqiyi is not rare at all, nor is he happy because of it.This shows how difficult it is to be happy. During this period, Mama Wu came in once and handed Yuno a rich breakfast and a thick envelope. "What is this?" Yuno asked while biting the bread. "Mr. Lin's reward for you." "You tell him to put it away." Yuno whispered, "Don't force me away." "Okay, I'll tell him." Wu's mother put the money away and said, "I said a long time ago that there are many things in this world that money can't buy. Miss Yuno, you are different from many people. In the future There must be something promising." "Thank you Mama Wu." Yuno replied calmly. In the afternoon, Qiqi finally woke up, she opened her eyes and saw Yuno, a trace of surprise flashed across her face, and she said a word. "It hurts," she said. "It will be fine." Yuno touched her face and said, "Don't be so stupid next time, be good." Qiqi caressed the bandaged wound on her left wrist, and said almost in a whisper, "Do you know that my heart hurts so much that I can't bear it, only in this way can the pain be transferred." Yuno's heart ached sharply from Qiqi's words, she held Qiqi's injured hand and said, "Stupid girl, you have to remember, no matter what, don't hurt yourself again." "By the way, aren't you going to Suzhou today?" Qiqi suddenly remembered. "I don't think I can leave you at this time." Yuno said, "Do you think so?" Qiqi's tears flowed down, and she said, "I want to see Sam." "The psychiatrist?" Yuno said, "Okay. I'll shock him for you." "He keeps urging me to travel." "Then let's go." Yuno made up his mind and said, "How about going to see Baobaolan together?" "Good idea." A smile finally appeared on Qiqi's face.But she quickly said worriedly, "I'm afraid they won't allow me to go out." "I'll go and tell them," Yuno said, "he should feel at ease when we're together." "Don't bring your handsome guy." Qi Qi pushed forward. "No, but you have to be obedient." Yuno said, "Stop messing around." "I don't mess around." Qi Qi lay down, "I'm just very tired, I think it's okay to sleep a little longer?" "Okay." Yuno said, "I'll ask you for leave now, and let Mama Wu bring you some food by the way." "You Nuo." Qi Qi grabbed her and said, "You Nuo, thank you for not leaving." Yuno patted her on the cheek and came downstairs, telling Mama Wu that Qiqi woke up and asked her to bring some food up.Mama Wu seemed to have cried, her eyes were red.She pulled Yunuo and complained: "What do you think is good, a good child, who can save her. When I think about it, this place hurts!" Mama Wu patted her chest as she spoke. "Mama Wu, don't worry," Yuno comforted her, "We will help her. By the way, is Mr. Lin asleep yet?" "Didn't sleep, in the study." Yuno said, "Okay, I'll go see him." The study door was open, and Yuno knocked politely, but no one answered.When he walked in, he found that Lin Huanzhi had fallen asleep on the chair, and the sun was shining on his temples, which turned gray.This man who is in charge of the wind and rain in his career can't deal with his teenage daughter no matter what.There seems to be a protracted war between them. No matter who wins in the end, they can only have a past and a future full of holes. His coat fell to the ground, Yuno picked it up and covered him.At this time, she heard his sigh again, which was exactly the same as the one in the morning, which made Yuno feel bewildered.Just as she was about to leave, Lin Huanzhi grabbed her hand and said, "Sit with me."
