Self-investment

Christmas, New Year's Day, the two important festivals before the end of the year, and just after celebrating the New Year's Day holiday, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year has become stronger. The advertisements on TV have brought auspicious words for the New Year, and the supermarkets have also launched All kinds of New Year's gift packages are placed on the most conspicuous shelf in the center of the entrance. The packages are all bright red or gold, and they are full of joy.

In Jianling's Internet cafe, the ribbons and snowflakes that were hung at Christmas were also removed, and red lanterns, red firecrackers, and blessing characters were hung instead.

It’s winter vacation already, Jinling University’s students are almost gone, the business in Jianling’s Internet cafe is cold, there are only a few customers scattered here and there, this situation will not be relieved until the next semester starts, Jianling will not be able to do so in a few days I plan to temporarily close the business and give red envelopes to the employees at the end of the year, so that they can go home happily for the New Year, and I can relax for a few days.

The facade of my own home has no rent pressure, so Jianling's Internet cafe is the first one to close down on this street every year, which makes the employees of other stores envious.

Xiao Liu is the last one among the employees of the Internet cafe to return to his hometown. He is now the foreman in the shop. His salary has increased a lot compared to before, and he is responsible for more things than before. He is a little timid, but there is no major problem, Jian Ling is very relieved of him.

The day before Xiao Liu left, he pasted Spring Festival couplets on the gate of the Internet cafe twice, and also pasted the word "Fu" on the rolling gate, hoping for good luck and prosperous business in the coming year. It was supposed to be posted on New Year's Eve. He knew that Jian Ling didn't believe it, so he would put up the Spring Festival couplets and window grilles every year before he went home.

The sun is rare in winter, so Jian Ling moved a chair and sat in front of the Internet cafe, holding a mug and the hot soybean milk that Luo Yimu made for her, chatting with Xiao Liu, "Xiao Liu, your hometown seems to be quite far from Lijinling Right? I remember it took two days and one night to get there by train."

"Yeah, hehe, I thought you'd forgotten, sister Ling, but I didn't expect you to have such a good memory."

"Of course." Jian Ling felt very comfortable being complimented by Xiao Liu, and said with a smile, "It's so far away, how did you come to Jinling? You can't go home several times a year, so you must be thinking about it."

"I can't help it, just to make a living. In our small place, we can't make much money even if we work hard for a year. Unlike a big city like Jinling, there are many opportunities. People like me who have no education and no culture can do it as long as they work hard." If I earn money, I plan to work in Jinling for a few more years, and when I earn money, I will go back to build a house, marry a wife, and have two children, preferably a son and a daughter. This is called good things come in pairs, hehehe."

Jian Ling was amused by him, "Your thinking is far ahead."

"It's not far away. I'm 22 this year. Last month, my elementary school classmate sent me an invitation to drink his son's full moon wine."

"Give birth at the age of 22?" Jian Ling was surprised. She usually thought she was quite young, but when Xiao Liu said this, she immediately felt old.

Thinking about it this way is also true, Jian Lingxu is already 26 years old after the Chinese New Year. Thinking about it, when her father was her age, she seemed to have already been in the fifth grade of elementary school.

Jian Ling recalled many things that happened in this year. Half a year ago, she was just a bastard who played games in the world. A big change, the old friends are gone, the bad habit of being lazy and greedy has also changed a lot, at least I can clean up the house, I can steam rice, scramble an egg, bean sprouts, etc., all by myself In life, even if I don’t rely on takeaway and instant noodles, I can’t starve myself to death. After reading two serious books, I also started to practice calligraphy.

The most important thing is that before, Jane Ling thought that her end would be to die alone, but now, she has someone who is enough to spend her whole life with.

How amazing, Luo Yimu suddenly appeared in Jian Ling's life in another village, and a very ordinary encounter in an Internet cafe actually contributed to so many things that happened after them, Jian Ling recalled, I can't even believe it's true.

Sometimes Jian Ling thinks, [-]% of the time, he did good deeds and accumulated virtues in his previous life, and cultivated good luck, so that he met Luo Yimu in this life, as if he fell from the sky.

She was so immersed in her own world that she didn't notice a person walking slowly behind her.

The students are on winter vacation, and the end of the year is approaching, and the teachers have fewer things to do. Luo Yimu got off work much earlier than before the holiday, and today he got off work before four o'clock, and bought some food on the way. I came back early, and when I arrived at the Internet cafe, the sun hadn't set yet, and I felt a warm afterglow, which shone lazily on my body, and even my bones were crisp.

Luo Yimu's walking steps are much lighter than ordinary people's. If Xiao Liu hadn't turned his head when he took the paste to put on the window grilles, he would never have found that Luo Yimu had returned.

Xiao Liu and Luo Yimu looked at each other and were stunned for half a second. Just about to say hello to her, she raised her index finger to her lips, signaling Xiao Liu not to speak, and pointing briefly, meaning to tease her. Touch her.

Xiao Liu nodded his head very slightly, expressing that he understood, and was afraid that Jian Ling would notice him, so he quickly turned his head and pretended to put on the window grilles. In fact, he kept looking at Jian Ling from the corner of his eye, hoping that Jian Ling would be surprised next time. look.

Xiao Liu thinks, from the first time he met Luo Yimu, he called her "Professor Luo" politely, and now he calls her "Sister Luo", the person who has changed the most in this small Internet cafe is Luo Yimu. Yimu.

Recalling the time when I first met Luo Yimu, this person was serious and unsmiling, he looked at everyone as if he owed her millions, his eyes were full of sharp icicles, he never smiled, and he never joked with others. Nao, when Xiao Liu looked at her at the time, his heart was terrified. It was hard to imagine why Jian Ling would fall in love with such a person. Apart from his amazing appearance, from his personality to his living habits, everything was hard to resist.

What now?Xiao Liu Yuguang glanced at the woman standing behind Jian Ling with slightly raised mouth corners and soft brows and eyes. She was completely different from the cold Professor Luo he had just met.

Luo Yimu's eyes were small, and he wanted to play tricks on Jian Ling from behind. His expression was vivid, and the image of the indifferent professor who didn't eat the world's fireworks could hardly be seen in the past.

Xiao Liu smiled and concentrated on pasting his window grilles, thinking, life is like this, when you meet the right person, life will be happy.

Luo Yimu stood behind Jian Ling and thought about it for a minute. He didn't think about how to tease her. After much deliberation, he simply wanted to yell behind her ear suddenly to scare her—it would be best to get out of the chair in fright. Jumped up, and then Luo Yimu picked her up and carried her home.

Jian Ling nestled in the chair basking in the sun and drinking soy milk, completely unaware that Luo Yimu was behind him, and directed Xiao Liu with a smile: "The window grille is crooked, a little to the left, yes, a little higher, that's over there... "

Luo Yimu has already bent down gently, and lowered his body to Jian Ling's back ear, only a distance of more than ten centimeters. He opened his mouth, trying to scare her lightly.

Not wanting to let out a soft drink, as soon as a little breath came out of her lips, Jian Ling suddenly turned around unexpectedly, and kissed her opened lips accurately, the tip of her tongue slipped across her lower lip, and immediately Moving away, looking at the sluggish Luo Yimu, he licked the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of sly smiles that had been prepared for a long time.

"Mumu, you miscalculated." Jian Ling said, raising her hand frivolously to pick her chin, "Hey, I caught you doing something bad, let me think about how to punish you."

The distance was close, and it was midwinter again, a thin layer of white mist sprayed on Luo Yimu's face, warming it up.

"How do you know I'm back?" Luo Yimu's rare prank was caught off guard by Jian Ling, and without annoyance, he wrapped the hand holding his chin in his palm and squeezed it.

Jian Ling basked in the sun all afternoon, her whole body was warm, and her hands were also hot, while Luo Yimu's body temperature was low, holding her hand was like grabbing a small stove, it was warm and soft, and her five fingers were like green onions , It is extremely soft in the hand, as if water can be squeezed out with a light pinch.

Holding it was not enough, Luo Yimu simply pulled that hand to his lips and kissed.

"You smell so fragrant, I smelled it a few meters away, and you can hide it from me?" Jian Ling smiled smugly. In order to prove her words, she deliberately raised her nose to the side of Luo Yimu's neck, sniffed it vigorously, and was intoxicated. Leaning against her neck, the back of her hand was artificially pressed against her forehead, and exaggeratedly cried softly, "Ah, it's so fragrant, as soon as I smell your fragrance, my bones become soft, so soft that I can't walk, Mu Mu, you have to be responsible to me."

Luo Yimu knew the little idea in her heart, and cooperated with her very much, and asked with a smile: "How does Ah Ling want me to be responsible?"

"How about carrying me up?"

"Okay." Luo Yimu chuckled, turned from the back of the chair to the front, turned his back to Jian Ling, and squatted halfway in front of her, as if he was about to recite the brief, but Jian Ling was late. There was no movement.

"Why don't you come up?" Luo Yimu didn't wait for the familiar weight on his back, turned around in doubt, and found that Jian Ling was sitting on the chair hesitating, his expression was a little awkward, and the bases of his ears turned red suspiciously.

"I'm just kidding, you don't need to memorize it, just walk by yourself." Jian Ling said, the blush at the base of her ears spread.

She just wanted to tease Luo Yimu, and didn't really want her to carry her back. There are people coming and going on this street, and there are many neighbors in the neighborhood. If someone who likes to talk about it sees it, she will be caught. Knowing that she is good at hands and feet and still being carried home, does she want to lose face?

No, no, no, Luo Yimu must not recite it.

Jian Ling hurriedly dodged Luo Yimu, stood up from the chair, raised her legs as if slipping, "I can walk by myself, walk by myself..."

In the end, before he could take two steps, he suddenly jumped up and was hugged by Luo Yimu, "Didn't you say that your bones are too weak to walk? Since you don't want me to carry it, it's just right, you can also hug it."

"Put me down quickly!" Jian Ling grabbed Luo Yimu's arm, kicked his legs and struggled, and warned her in a low voice with a blushing face: "The neighbors in the neighborhood saw it, even Xiao Liu, what does it look like?"

"What's the matter?" Luo Yimu smiled indifferently, "How many times have I carried you back and forth from this gate, why did I suddenly become reserved today?"

"At that time, my leg was injured. It's fair and aboveboard. Now that I'm good at my hands and feet, I told you to carry me upstairs without saying a word. Would you like me to save face for my dignified Boss Jane?"

Boss Jian, who is dignified, blushed brightly when she spoke.
