Miss White Rose

Chapter 39 Happiness is not by chance

Next door to the mall is a public hospital.

"I'm going to get some Chinese medicine, you just wait here for me," Xu Xingyan unfastened her seat belt and got out of the car.

Lin Shengmiao didn't like to stay in the cramped car for a long time, so he wandered around the parking lot according to the time. It happened that there was a poplar forest separated by a fence wall, which was very beautiful with the snow scene.

"Didn't the doctor tell you that it won't affect your fertility! Why are you so persistent!"

A manly and unassuming low growl sounded from behind. Lin Shengmiao turned around and found that she was blocked by an RV next to her. The other party probably didn't notice her, and she had no intention of eavesdropping on other people's privacy.

"Sorry, but compared to the result, I still care more about the process..."

The woman's voice was polite, very tactful, but also had an uncontrollable sharpness.

"Besides, in a relationship, two people still need to walk at the same pace to go far. Your life rhythm is too fast, and I really can't keep up. Sorry, let's break up, and you will meet a girl who is more suitable for you."

man:"……"

Lin Shengmiao: "..."

She paused with her hand on the car door, and gave the young lady a thumbs up in the air.

This mouth and eloquence are comparable to those of her mother, Ms. Pei Wei, when she was young.

The man seemed to say something again, but Lin Shengmiao had already got back into the car, and he could hear it vaguely, until several horns sounded, and several cars stopped, and the conversation outside stopped abruptly.

"I'm back," Xu Xingyan trotted back to the car, and handed Lin Shengmiao a grilled sausage with a smile, "I just bought it in a small supermarket, and it's still warm."

When I turned around and put the traditional Chinese medicine bag on the back seat, my sleeves were slightly rolled up due to sweat, revealing a slender wound five to six centimeters long on my arm, which was not deep and closed, with a thin layer of scab on it .

Xu Xingyan turned her head and saw Lin Shengmiao looking at her with a roast sausage, and was about to ask her why she didn't eat it, when she followed her gaze to see this new scar on her wrist.

This was a week ago when I was moving a flower pot in the store, I accidentally missed it and was scratched by the splashed ceramic debris. It should have been healed a long time ago, but because of her poor healing ability, the wound was not easy to recover. In the winter of this year, my girlfriend caught me one by one.

When they were in a long-distance relationship, the desire to share did not actually diminish, but they started to announce the good news but not the bad news by coincidence. They could often chat for hours about small things such as what to eat and what gossip, and freely talked about any interesting people around them. make peace.

But I seldom tell the other party how much work I have stayed up late today, how many medicines I took when I was sick, twisted my foot when going down the stairs, and was delayed by uncooperative colleagues...

It's only one aspect of not wanting the other party to worry for nothing. The main reason is that before they really integrated into each other's life, they had already grown into adults who could withstand wind and frost, and were used to solving problems independently.

Just like when we met yesterday, apart from saying I miss you so much, no one mentioned the sadness and grievances they have encountered when their lover is not around these days.

Lin Shengmiao looked at her quietly with an unfathomable expression. Xu Xingyan automatically read the eight iron words in it, "Leniency is lenient for confession, and strictness for resistance".

Luo Jing used to say that Xu Xingyan was like an abacus, she would only move if someone dialed her, and it was a dream to want her to take the initiative.

But Lin Shengmiao was definitely the exception of the exceptions, the favorite of the favorites in this matter.

Xu Xingyan said decisively: "I was scratched by a flowerpot last Sunday, but it doesn't hurt anymore."

Lin Shengmiao: "That's why you didn't let me see your arm during the video that night."

"Be sure to tell me earlier next time, or I will think too much and worry more."

Xu Xingyan grabbed her hand and took a hard bite of the sausage, "Last Thursday, when I called you in the afternoon, you were clearly sounding fluttery and almost fell asleep, and you insisted that your phone was out of battery. .”

"Well, I'm too sleepy," Lin Shengmiao said, "I stayed up late the night before to finish a list, and I have to rush to prepare for the afternoon meeting in the morning. I really can't hold on."

"Extremely tired, right?" Xu Xingyan measured her wrist with her fingers, "You've lost weight."

"The next time you encounter this situation, just tell me directly. You can call me anytime."

Lin Shengmiao nodded, and whispered to her about Ms. Fang Yi's coming to find her.

After listening, Xu Xingyan thought about it, and also explained the miserable hospitalization period before: "In the past few days, I had a total of [-] nucleic acid tests, and there were a lot of tests. Luo Jing refused to let me go out of the hospital... "

Lin Shengmiao said without hesitation, "Hit her!"

Xu Xingyan covered her mouth and laughed, "No wonder you pinch Luo Jing as soon as you meet."

……

Mr. Luo is the oldest old man in several families. This time when he comes to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, it is natural that he should be the first. The New Year's Eve dinner is also arranged at the old man's house.

Fortunately, Mr. Luo's rank is high enough, and the two-story villa has a garden. Xiao Luoyang followed his father to post a circle of blessings and was exhausted and out of breath.

"You have a heart."

Mr. Luo took the set of teapots printed with Songhe Yannian sent by Lin Shengmiao, smiled, took two red envelopes from the guards, and gave one to Xu Xingyan and her, "Everyone has a share in the red envelopes during the Chinese New Year. "

With his age and experience, many things are not enough to move him, it doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman, the most important thing is being able to go to the end together.

Xu Xingyan: "Thank you, Grandpa Luo."

Lin Shengmiao held the red envelope in her palm and shouted after her, "Thank you, Grandpa Luo."

At the door, Luo Jing, who was late for a while, bluffed and said, "Grandpa, Yuhang and I brought some ham over here. Shall we eat it stewed or fried?"

Fang Yuan came out of the kitchen with a pot of prepared stuffing, and said, "I don't stew or fry. I'm making dumplings for today. Hurry up and wash your hands and come here to help."

Xiao Luoyang came out of nowhere, and hugged Xu Xingyan's waist, "Mom just bought me an ant workshop, can my little aunt accompany me to play?"

"Okay," Xu Xingyan agreed, and at the same time gave Lin Shengmiao a look asking her to follow.

Lin Shengmiao's knees moved, his eyes were a little hesitant, should he follow the aunt and nephew to sneak away, or stay and help make dumplings?

Seeing this, Chen Yue rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Sheng Miao, come and help me chop vegetables, I'm not too busy to come here alone."

Lin Shengmiao quickly agreed. Xu Xingyan told her that Chen Yue was a senior prosecutor. Both of her parents died when she was young, and she was brought up by the grandfather of a veteran. She has a soft personality but is very easy to get along with.

I have to say that Chen Yue relieved the tension in Lin Shengmiao's heart very well. She talked about everyone's hobbies and taboos in the family in a few words, and at the same time calmly and softly comforted her. She cut up a few side dishes and put them on the plate. , Lin Shengmiao thanked softly.

"You don't have to thank me, it's all due," Chen Yue said with a smile: "When I was in love and when I first got married, Yanyan also helped me a lot, and it's my turn to repay the favor."

Chen Yue told her that when Luo Bin introduced her to her relatives for the first time, she had just finished a part-time job and went to the hotel on a battery car, just in time to meet Luo Bin coming down to pick up a few elders, in front of a group of luxury cars , Her little eDonkey should be as conspicuous as possible. At that time, several old aunts had wrong eyes.

"Guess what Yanyan said?"

Lin Shengmiao thought for a while, and imitated Xu Xingyan's tone: "Sister-in-law, you're so cool riding a battery car!"

"That's right!" Chen Yue thought it was funny even thinking about it now, "She also said that she has always had a bad sense of balance, and she couldn't learn it no matter what, so she asked if I could teach her."

"And the day I got married happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it started to rain in the morning. A cousin in Luobin always said it was unlucky. Yanyan heard it in the new house at that time, and said cheerfully: 'This Of course it’s going to rain, after all the moon in the sky has come to my house, why don’t we make trouble?’”

"That's her tone. If it were me," Lin Shengmiao said with a smile, "I would say that in my hometown, if it rains on the way for the bride to get married, it means the bride is too good. If it rains, that means the groom rode a dog when he was a child!"

"That's right, that's right, my hometown also has this saying," Chen Yue couldn't stop laughing, "The groom used to ride a dog when he was young, and it will rain when he gets married, which is interesting."

……

Luo Bin: "Mom, this leek should be salted beforehand, it's too firewood."

Luo Jing said in a strange way: "Hey, thank you for this guest's opinion, why don't you show your hand right away, and open the eyes of ordinary people like us."

"Hey, I can't even offer an opinion?" Luo Bin felt innocent. "Only by offering an opinion can we make progress and do better. This..."

Chen Yue quickly blocked her husband's mouth: "Eat a bad fish. I asked the chef to make it yesterday. The soup was soaked overnight. Have you tasted it?"

Luo Bin immediately felt that his daughter-in-law was the best, and he ate two mouthfuls happily, and then he went back to his old ways and provoked, "I remember that the authentic boring fish doesn't shave the gills and scales, why have you shaved them all?"

Chen Yue smiled: "Shut up, it's good to give you something to eat, if you want to eat the authentic one, make it yourself!"

Luo Bin stopped talking.

Xiao Luoyang rolled his eyes and secretly made a face for him, "Father is ashamed."

Luo Bin touched his small face with his hands covered in soup, which frightened Xiao Luoyang to dodge left and right.

After dinner, on the second floor terrace.

Fang Yuan: "You guys visited Mr. Sun yesterday, how did you feel?"

Luo Jing: "He's a fox, but he's old. He probably wants to pave the way for his children and grandchildren."

Thinking of the young man who followed Mr. Sun, Luo Jing curled her lips and added: "But that Sun Ran, his thinking has completely fallen into the trap of Westernized logic. I chatted with him yesterday. If he didn't hide his clumsiness on purpose , should not be able to come out in the short term.”

Xu Xingyan thought back to the old man with white hair holding her hand yesterday, and sighed: "As expected of the Fang family, which is famous for its character and integrity, it has still been full of energy in the past so many years! Brother Fang is more blessed than me!"

She paused, and then said: "I took the time to analyze it before, and I got to know the situation with my father. Mr. Sun has not participated in the group's decision-making for many years. The current person in charge of EK is his eldest son, Sun Chang. As far as talent is mediocre, in recent years there have been several decision-making mistakes one after another, in addition to the fact that the brand premium of EK has always been too high, and many senior members of the group are dissatisfied..."

Xu Xingyan vaguely feels that her aunt is willing to go further. After all, there are still a few months before her re-election. With her age of more than 50 years and her achievements in these years, she is still very hopeful if she works hard.

That being the case, you should be more cautious during this period, and you should think more clearly about some people and things.

Fang Yuan turned the plain silver bracelet on her wrist, her eyes flashed, and she said slowly, "I see."

After Xu Xingyan and Luo Jing left, Fang Yuan stayed on the balcony alone, looking down and thinking deeply, until Uncle Luo Luo Heng came over, "Why are you standing here, isn't it cold?"

"Thinking about something, fascinated," Fang Yuan clasped her arms.

Luo Heng put the coat on her very politely.

Fang Yuan smiled, looked at his sunken face, couldn't help pinching his arm, and said, "Are you tired from the projects you've been busy with lately? Why have you lost so much weight?"

"The project is indeed a bit complicated, but it's not for this skinny one." Luo Heng blinked roguely, his eyes were clear like a teenager, "Thinking of you is like a full moon, and every night loses its brilliance. I am so haggard because of Yixiao. A Yuan has to make it up to me..."

Fang Yuan was amused by him again, for a moment, all the troubles and troubles melted into the night.

……

Downstairs, Yu Hang was playing chess with Mr. Luo.

Xu Xingyan understood a little bit, and after watching a game, she couldn't help but look at Yu Hang with admiration.

It is said that those who are good at chess have ditches in their chest. Mr. Luo's chess skills are not only at the pinnacle, but also at the level of a master. It is by no means an easy task to fight with him to this point.

Luo Jing's eyes glowed even more, as if she picked up a big baby, she was extremely excited.

After watching another game, Xu Xingyan dragged Lin Shengmiao to the small balcony on the second floor. The weather is beautiful tonight, not only the moon is shining brightly, but there are also a few stars as companions.

After quietly admiring the stars and moon for a while, Lin Shengmiao suddenly asked, "There is one thing I haven't figured out until now. How did Luo Jing know about us back then?"

Neither confessed nor pierced the window paper. At most, the two of them seemed to have a closer relationship, but girls tend to have no sense of boundaries. Are Luo Jing's eyes and imagination really that good?

Xu Xingyan lowered her head and smiled: "She and I have been doing homework on the same desk since we were young. She sometimes reads my novels. She probably read "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit" and she understands it by herself."

Sister Jing... is really very, very smart!

Lin Shengmiao groaned, raised her eyebrows, and didn't ask any more questions. After all, Ms. Xu, who has always been careful, forgot to put the book away. This is really a sad thing. It's better not to mention it.

The corners of her mouth curled up, and she took advantage of the situation to ask again: "Then when did you start liking me?"

Xu Xingyan paused for a few seconds, then turned her head and kissed her eyes, "It was love at first sight."

Lin Shengmiao was stunned, and tried hard to recall the scene of the first meeting, but after much deliberation, she didn't realize that there was anything worthy of love at first sight in her that day.

The two didn't even think of exchanging names in the end.

"That morning, for some reason, I put a book of my grandma's reading notes into my schoolbag, turned a few pages, and only remembered the sentence 'A lover must be cold'. I was thinking about it, and I saw you when I looked up."

Xu Xingyan will never forget those eyes——

At first glance, it looked very calm and cold, and it carried a sense of mystery that she couldn't understand at the time, making people want to tangle with it for no reason, but on closer inspection, this kind of coldness, like dewdrops in the morning, could be caught at any time. Evaporated, super fragile and sensitive, like a strong grass growing on the edge of a cliff, saying 'I'm strong, you can't hurt me', while being hurt by the wind knife and frost sword...

"Do you know what I was thinking at the time?"

Lin Shengmiao: "Bring me some candy."

"You just remember the sugar, I was nervous, I just took out the sugar when I had it in my pocket."

Xu Xingyan laughed and cursed, and said again: "I was thinking—this must be a god-sent fate."

Definitely not to be missed!

Lin Shengmiao was quiet for a second, then said, "I want to kiss you."

Xu Xingyan smiled, "Then hurry up!"

……

Fang Yi, who was walking around the house hand in hand with her husband, froze as soon as she stepped onto the corridor. Looking at the stacked figures, she couldn't care less.

Xu Yuming glanced at it, then changed his way with his wife in his arms, and said softly, "It's nothing, it's just that our little princess fell in love with the little princess of another family. From now on, there will be two princesses in our family. "

Fang Yi pinched him, laughed and said, "You think you're running a palace?"

Xu Yuming kissed her forehead and said in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong, my Majesty the Queen?"

……

This small balcony is really not a hidden place. Not long after Fang Yi and his wife left, Chen Yue and Luo Bin, who had put their son to sleep, also walked here.

Luo Bin tutted, "You're really young."

Chen Yue grabbed his collar, "Don't look at it."

"Look at it for a while," Luo Bin said in a low voice with sparkling eyes, "I always thought that Yanyan was frigid, and I have been worrying about it for a long time."

In the end, Chen Yue violently took him away.

When going down the stairs, Luo Bin said: "Do you still remember, before we started dating, one time when we went out to play, a small bug flew into your eye, let me help you get it out, your face is far away I was so close, I thought you wanted me to kiss you at one point."

Chen Yue patted him, "My eyes were hurting at that time, how can I have your extravagance."

"That's not necessarily true," Luo Bin leaned forward and smiled, "I'm so handsome, you might be tempted."

Chen Yue thought for a while, "If you kissed me at that time, I really wouldn't necessarily refuse."

After all, Luo Bin in college was really a handsome guy at the school level, which made people itch.

"but……"

Chen Yue: "I won't necessarily marry you later."

Luo Bin: "We may not be able to go so far."

The two spoke at the same time and looked at each other with a smile.

Happiness is never accidental. Today, all the good things we have obtained are just the foreshadowing of choices made over the long years.
