For The Rest of Our Life

The mall is near a light luxury brand store leading to the escalator on the second floor, a young girl with a long and beautiful face standing quietly in front of the window, carefully looking at the two scarves of different styles in the cabinet, hesitating .

Her left hand, inserted in the pocket of a beige long trench coat jacket, with long slender fingers, was unconsciously tightening a thin and hard bank card. The bank card was square, and she held her tightly, even making her hand feel a little painful.

For a moment, the words of arrogance and contempt for her a few days ago sounded in her ears, and in the eyes as bright as stars, there was a flash of sadness and pain.

Maybe, Shi Jinglan was right...

It was a few days ago, when Shi Jinglan rarely had a rest at home. Xia Zhijin's grade is also on holiday, and in a few days she will return to her hometown as usual to spend the Spring Festival with her grandmother and sister.

Despite the fact that Shi Jinglan's condescending and arrogant charity and demand for her, let Xia Zhijin recognize Shi Jinglan and see clearly, Shi Jinglan is not the kind she has been worshipping and respecting for many years-peace and kindness Auntie. But over the years, Shi Jinglan's favor and help to her and her family are undeniable. Xia Zhijin, after all, is someone who knows the number of gifts.

Therefore, she thought that when she waited a few days for her to return home, Shi Jinglan might be on a business trip again. So, taking advantage of that day when she rested at home, she went to say hello to her.

The ancestral home of the Shi family has been inhabited by the grandfather of Shi Jinglan’s father, who is immediately full. The villa where Shiman and Shijinglan lived was bought by Shi Jinglan after entering Shixing Group. The villa is located in a rare place close to the urban area, but it is also a place close to the mountains and the sea. Around it, there are independent luxury villas one after another, and it is the famous wealthy area of ​​Anjiang. The top floor of the Shi family is a small glass dome viewing garden specially cut out according to Shi Jinglan's preferences. It is filled with flowers and seedlings selected by Shi Jinglan himself, and even a small lawn. When occasionally resting at home, Shi Jinglan likes to be alone on the top floor, pruning flowers and plants, and tasting the scenery. When Shiman was joking and joking, she still laughed at her mother and her time, not as much time as she and her baby.

Sure enough, Xia Zhijin went straight up to the top floor and saw that the door was half-covered. Obviously, someone was outside.

She stood at the door, politely reached out and knocked gently on the door, and when she announced it, she shocked her arrival: "Aunt Shi, can I come in?"

As soon as the words fell, she heard a shocked response when she heard: "Come in."

She pushed the door in, and Shi Jinglan wore an elegant silk nightdress, casually dressed in a nightgown, her legs overlapped, and she leaned half on the lounge chair. The exquisite and slender jade feet are exposed to the warm sun, and the smooth white legs are looming, which is the lazy and charming appearance that Xia Zhijin has not seen for many years.

For a moment, Xia Zhijin thought thoughtfully, full, in fact, very much like mother.

Seeing Xia Zhijin approaching, Shi Jinglan sat up casually, stepped barefoot on the soft carpet, walked to the coffee table and sat down, opened the water boiler on the tea set, and the quiet eyes were pale Xia Zhijin swept across and greeted her: "Sit, what tea do you drink?"

Xia Zhijin withdrew his mind, his face looked cold, his head slightly lowered, his eyes fixed on her mahogany coffee table, and he refused lightly: "No, Auntie Shi, I'm here to tell you, I'm coming back to my hometown and my grandmother sister It’s the New Year together. With three meals here, I’ve greeted my aunt."

Shi Jinglan seemed to care less about Xia Zhijin’s unrecognized rejection and the whole body’s resistance that was totally different from the closeness when she saw her earlier, and she tore open a bag of tea by herself. Xia Zhijin said: "So..."

Her graceful and restrained face was quiet, and the tea leaves were slowly poured into the utensils by no one else, and her head was gently sniffing the fragrance of tea.

Xia Zhijin got a little embarrassed under her unclear response and indifference. She stood silently for a few seconds, but finally couldn't stand, and said, "There is nothing else, when I go downstairs."

She was about to turn around when she lifted her legs, but Shi Jinglan suddenly asked her aloudly, "Don't you pick them up and live together?"

Xia Zhijin's footsteps finally lifted his eyes and looked seriously at Shi Lan.

Shi Jinglan was also watching her, and the Wufa, which she picked up on weekdays, was scattered casually on her shoulders at this moment, leaving her a little bit cold and dull, adding a little softness to the restrained and gentle temperament. But Xia Zhijin looked into her as deep as Gutan, without seeing the slightest smile in her eyes, she realized clearly again that all the gentleness and calmness of this woman was just the usual illusion that she had developed because of business needs.

Her voice was a little colder, and she responded with shock: "No more, they live well at home."

When Shi Jinglan's lips and lips turned into a smile-like smile, he seemed to want to find the answer seriously, and asked Xia Zhijin: "You didn't take the money, you want to wait for two years and when you get a perfect hand. me?"

Xia Zhijin bit her lip and looked at her without speaking.

When she heard it, Jinglan sighed in regret, like a pity: "Zi Jin, after so many years of dealing with the Shi family, how can you still not learn the shrewdness of the businessman who was engraved in the bones of the Shi family. "

Her quiet eyes stared at Xia Zhijin, and her words were as gentle as the ordinary elders who loved the juniors and taught her: "You promised me, and the time is full, then the money is what you deserve. This is fair. If The result is already doomed to change, you have to learn to maximize the benefits."

Xia Zhijin's calm eyes finally waved a little under her thoughtful words. She clenched her fists slightly, and there was faint irritability and unwillingness to twitch in her eyes. She wanted to tell her aloud that she was with Shiman not for money or gratitude. When she wanted to reprimand, she was shocked and feelings were not able to measure the gains and losses with money like ordinary transactions.

However, in the end, she was shocked and laughed like she had seen through everything, but chose to turn around silently and leave.

Shi Jinglan How can people like her understand? She won't understand.

Why do you play the piano to Niu, and put your own pride in your hands with both hands to make this noble and rich person ridicule and ridicule.

Humiliation is enough once. Being a person should be fun.

Shi Jinglan refused to let her go. When she was about to step out of the building, her voice was soft and lazy as she said to herself: "Jin Jin, you are so proud, you really like it Is it full?"

She said lightly and contemptuously: "Withdraw the money, when I prepaid to you full pocket money. I don't want her to have a rare first love, but because of your tight hands, you feel aggrieved and live tightly."

Xia Zhijin stood at the door of the building, his back facing the rising sun, and his thin and slender waist plate stood straight. For a while, she took a step and walked down the steps step by step.

The darkness in the corridor engulfed her whole bit by bit.

She didn't have much, but she was willing to dedicate everything to Shiman. As long as she has, as long as she wants.

She asked herself, her conscience was clear.

But at the moment, Xia Zhijin stood in front of the counter, but suddenly he was in a trance. She tried everything, Yu Shiman said, in fact, but still, is it wronged?

Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing were tired of shopping, and were going to take the escalator to eat on the third floor dining area. When passing by the escalator, Lin Xian's casual glance seemed to sweep to a familiar figure in the adjacent store. She immediately pulled La Xiaowan's hand and motioned her to stop.

"Aunt Xiao, is that Sister Jin?" Lin Xian voiced doubtfully.

Xiao Wanqing stopped when he heard the sound and looked in the direction of Lin Xian's sight. In front of the shop window with a few floors up and down, Xia Zhijin was the beautiful girl who was lying sideways in the blue.

She nodded and answered Lin Xian: "Well, it's Jinjin."

Lin Xianli was a little excited when she took Xiao Wanqing's hand and went to the store: "What a coincidence. I just went to say hello to them and waited back to the South District. I shouldn't see you in this winter vacation. "" Where she defaults to Xia Zhijin, there will definitely be time.

Unexpectedly, this time she made a mistake.

Inside the shop, Xia Zhijin's side was empty, and awesome, only Xia Zhijin was alone.

Lin Xian poked Xia Zhijin's arm that was still walking, and asked her with a smile: "Sister Jinjin, what a coincidence, what are you doing?"

Xia Zhijin turned his head and turned around, only to find Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing who were standing beside him when they didn't know when. Her cold brows softened a little, and with a slight warm smile, she responded: "Aunt Xiao, envy, do you come to buy things too? I'm helping picking scarves all over."

Lin Xian heard Shi Man's name, looked around again, and couldn't help wondering: "So full? Are you alone?"

Xia Zhijin thought of being full of time, and there was a bit of melancholy in his expression. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "On the New Year's Eve, she said she wanted a scarf, but I dragged it until I didn't buy it for her. She was angry."

In her mind, there was again a girl who pointed at her packing home last night, her eyes were red, her peach blossom eyes filled with tears and asked her, "You remember your sister! Xia Zhijin, do you think I have any money?" You can buy it yourself. If you don’t lack anything, you don’t have to look after me.

There was sharp pain again in my heart.

What should she explain, she didn't remember it, she just, she was not capable enough, sorry, let her wait for a long time.

After the New Year's Eve, she was ready to buy a scarf for Shiman. However, she didn't have enough money, and she couldn't even afford the most low-end brands she used up. She has been waiting, and when she gets the two-week class fee, she can afford it. However, Shi Man raised her dissatisfaction and grievances first.

She looked at the crying face of the beloved girl's grievances, her eyes were hot and her nose was sore. However, she said how to export, how can she tell her: "full, I did not intentionally, I just can not afford it."

She could only coax her with her tears: "I'll buy it tomorrow, OK?" But the girl seemed to have broken her heart, pushed her away, looked at her with extreme disappointment, and ran back to the room to lock door.

In the morning, Shiman reluctant to eat out of the room. Obviously, he was still angry and he didn't want to see her.

Lin Xian heard it strangely: "Aren't you knitting a scarf before? Wouldn't it be nice to give that one to her?"

Xia Zhijin was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

Lin Xian said with a smile: "A lot of words, she said that you have been knitting a scarf some time ago, I don't know if it is a surprise for her, she has been looking forward to it for a long time."

In an instant, Xia Zhijin's eyes were filled with shock waves, as if he had understood something all at once.

No wonder, Shi Man knows that everything in the suitcase is to be taken home, and knows that the scarf was only given to her sister Xia Zhiqi before suddenly becoming so disappointed and sad.

But...but...

Xia Zhijin bit her lip and murmured: "That scarf was woven for my sister. The scarf she wove by hand is not good-looking and can only keep her warm. Zhiqi is surrounded by the countryside and is full. How can she use it? "Her self-esteem made her unable to say anything. She was even scared. She bought the scarf she bought here. She and Shi Jinglan walked with Shi Jinglan to visit friends and relatives. They would be laughed at if they were not up to grade. She has seen the relatives of the Shi family and the wealthy people in the Shi family circle.

Lin Xian listened to her saying that she immediately hated iron and was not steel, and frowned: "Sister Jin, you are full, but you can give her a grasshopper with a dog's tail. She can happily show off people for several days. You Thought that she wanted you to give her a scarf? She wanted it, but it was your heart." She sighed and eased her tone, teasing halfway: "As long as it's sister Jin, you gave it to her." , I’m afraid she doesn’t need to knit, just wool, she can happily go out.”

Xia Zhijin was slightly stunned, and his always calm expression was somewhat overwhelmed.

Xiao Yuanqing gently patted Xia Zhijin's shoulder, and comforted her softly: "Zhi Jin, for Manchu, your mind is more precious than anything, it is priceless." She hesitated, thinking of Xia Zhijin that night. Desperate and desperate when holding her, she still followed her heart and said a word that she didn't know was offended: "Zinjin, full, she has everything because of everything, so she doesn't care about the things outside her." She paused After a moment, he said seriously: "It may be you who cares."

Xia Zhijin's expression slightly moved, his eyes gradually filled with mist. For a while, she let go of the hand that had been holding the bank card, and her lips gradually gave a smile of relief.

Her eyes softly thanked Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing: "I know, thank you." Then, as if she couldn't wait, she turned and took steps, step by step, lighter than step by step, and hurried out of the mall... …

Lin Xian looked at Xia Zhijin away, Xiao Xiaoqing turned around, and gently scraped Lin Xian's nose, softly teasing her: "I don't know that we envy is a love expert. , The analysis is straightforward, the head is right."

Lin Xian looked back at Xiao Wanqing's smiling face, bit her lip, and teased herself half-jokingly, "I'm just, I have been ill for a long time."

She understands Shi Man's mind so much, she understands Shi Man's grievances, but it is because she once sympathized with Shi Man and became a doctor for a long time.

Xiao Wanqing was unknown, but keenly heard the inexplicable seriousness and sorrow in the girl's voice. Xiumei frowned slightly, some lost her joke, with some inexplicable anxiety and said: "Yes?"

Lin Xianben just felt emotion for a while, did not want to say anything. But her eyes glanced at Xiao Wanqing's appearance, and her words seemed to have changed slightly, which was rare and dignified. Her eyes flashed, and suddenly she changed her mind.

She lowered her clear eyebrows, and there was a faint melancholy cage between her eyebrows, her voice was soft, and she answered Xiao Wanqing with half-truth: "I'm like full, I have been in love for a long time."

"Acacia becomes a disease, a long illness becomes a doctor." She stared deeply at Xiao Wanqing, saying one word after another.

The gentle smile that still remained in the corners of Xiao Wan’s green lips suddenly froze in time, and the color of his eyes changed suddenly. In his heart, he jerked.
