I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 408 A One-Year Promise
The sun passed through the leaves of the sycamore tree and landed on my handbag. When the wind blew, the leaves moved, and the sun also moved. She also ordered a drink.

Lu Jia still likes to drink Americano coffee. After the coffee is in her hand, she holds the cup with both hands and turns it around... She likes to do this whenever the weather is cold, because she has a cold body, so her hands are very cold.

She looked at me and smiled, then asked, "Did you ask me out on a special trip?"

"Yes... I'm going back to Dali tomorrow."

"What a coincidence, I also bought a plane ticket to France tomorrow... The school has approved my application to resume school."

I nodded, and after being silent for a while, I said again: "Thank you, I won't say any more...these two things are for you."

After finishing speaking, I took out Lu Jia's ID card and a real estate certificate from my bag, handed them to her, and continued, "I took the ID card from your wallet... ...I bought a house in Chengdu under your name... 119 square meters, fine decoration, not too big, but enough to live in."

Lu Jia looked at me in surprise, and asked after a while, "Why did you buy me a house?"

"If you like Chengdu, you can accept it... By the way, I even bought myself a BMW [-] Series. Did you see it when you came? It stopped under that sycamore tree."

Lu Jia subconsciously looked under the sycamore tree. There was a black 740LI parked there. It was indeed my car. I just picked it up from the 4S shop in the morning and hadn't had time to get the license plate.

A house is something I have always wanted to buy, but a car is an impulse purchase.

I said to Lu Jia again: "Let's go and try the car."

……

We chose an open road with few cars. Lu Jia drove, neither fast nor slow...while I half-lyed in the co-pilot's seat.I don’t feel bad that it’s a new car, anyway, I just lit a cigarette... I think I need a cigarette at this time. I once imagined such a scene, and I think for myself, this is a happy life.

But after he really got it, he suddenly felt that he was horrible and vulgar.

Lu Jia finally spoke to me and said, "Why buy 740? There are many choices at this price."

I remembered the night when I went to Shanghai to find Ye Zhi. I met a man who proposed marriage on the Bund. When the man took out a seven-series car key and gave it to the woman, the atmosphere reached its climax in an instant. It was at that moment that I saw the collision of soul and matter... The scene was extremely shocking...

Come to think of it, I didn't choose this car because I really liked it, but I couldn't forget that scene, the beautiful woman holding the car key and smiling amidst the fireworks.

Putting away these random thoughts, I replied to Lu Jia: "Because this car has the biggest discount, you know, I always only buy the right ones, not expensive ones."

Lu Jia smiled: "Isn't it expensive?"

"In the same level, it is relatively cost-effective."

"Oh."

Lu Jia responded, and then pulled over the car... She lay on the steering wheel, I didn't think much about it, I just thought she was tired... And I just stared at the sunset outside the car window... I couldn't breathe Some cold air, but it didn't make me uncomfortable. On the contrary, in the fallen leaves, I saw the kind of tragic beauty that can only be seen in late autumn...

"Mi Gao, what do you think of me?...Why did you buy me a house and let me drive your new car...Do you think that these are the things I really care about?"

I finally looked back at her and her shoulders were shaking...

Lu Jia raised her head, she didn't look at me, but I could see her tearful eyes.

In my silence, she said to me again: "All along, what I care about is not what I have, or what you can give me... I only care about what you have... When you are in love, it doesn't matter , as long as two people can be happy together every day... But when it comes to marriage, it's not that simple... Because marriage is a matter between two families, and every parent has the same mood... You must have Only with a certain ability to survive can they trust their daughters to you... You have to understand their feelings, because the most terrifying thing for a woman is to marry the wrong man..."

I finally opened my mouth and said to her: "I know...so your name is written on the house, and if you show it to them, shouldn't they be more at ease?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Lu Jia stared at me, but I avoided her eyes...

Lu Jia wiped away his tears and said, "Mi Gao... I never force you, and I don't want you to think that I took care of my uncle for so long to gain favor from him and let him put pressure on you... My idea is very simple... I have already left you once, so when you are most difficult and need company most, I must not be that woman who left you..."

After a short pause, she said again: "Do you know why I chose to go back to school?... If my uncle's condition doesn't improve, I won't go back to school, I will always take care of him...but now, I have to go back to school...because, I If you stay in Chengdu, he will definitely put pressure on you and let us get married... I know you don't want to marry me, at least at this stage, you only feel sorry for me now...so I can't tie you down at this time …Let’s not let you spend your whole life with me with such guilt, so that you will not be happy… Going abroad to continue your studies is a very good reason. If I choose this way, they will understand and give you space .”

Whether Lu Jia is a smart woman, I'm not sure, but she is definitely a woman with a very delicate mind, so my thoughts, Lao Mi's and my mother's thoughts are all expressed in her words.

I am still silent, I know she has not finished speaking.

Lu Jia's face showed a struggling look again, and after a long time, she said with a melancholy smile: "I know, this is probably the best opportunity in my life... If I miss this time, what will the future be like?" , I have no idea at all... But I have to do this... I also hope that you can promise me that we will give each other a year. If you still think like this after a year, then I will stay in France , never come back again... If, after going around, I am still an indispensable woman in your life, then we will get married... One year is not a long time... But it is enough for us to see Clear a lot of things...can you promise me?"

Lu Jia and I looked at each other, and finally said to her: "I promise you... we will make a one-year agreement... I hope that in this year, you can finish your studies with peace of mind."

Lu Jia nodded and asked again, "What about you... What will you do this year?"

"I don't know... Maybe I will stay in Dali, maybe I will go to a new city and find something to do again."

"Let's go to a new city..."

"why?"

Lu Jia smiled: "I want to see a different you from before... Although romantic love is good, it can also make a man passionate."

I looked at Lu Jia in a daze, feeling confused... If I didn't stay in Dali, where else could I go? ...But what she said is not wrong. Dali is really a place that gives me many choices in life.

Is this a blessing or a misfortune?
