implication

"Have you asked your hometown? How long will Ning Fei be going this time?"

Hearing Shui Xin's question, Jiang Ze felt a little displeased, and replied perfunctorily, "Probably two or three days." After speaking, he picked up the wine tray and came out from the bar to give it to the customers who ordered.In fact, he didn't need to go there specially, as long as he waved to a waiter to help him deliver it.But Jiang Ze didn't want to listen to Shui Xin asking himself about Ning Fei here, and just wanted to find an excuse to escape.

Shui Xin didn't care about Jiang Ze's indifferent attitude towards him.He didn't just care about Ning Fei, he just felt that things were in a mess now, and it wasn't a good solution for Ning Fei to leave like this.In particular, it also left such an ignorant and ignorant Lin Chen in a mess.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.Shui Xin heard Jiang Ze's "Ouch" behind him.Turning his head to look, he didn't know what happened to Lin Chen suddenly. He rushed in so recklessly and bumped into Jiang Ze's back. Fortunately, the wine in his hand didn't fall.

Jiang Ze rubbed his back, turned around and asked, "Lin Qiu, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Chen didn't care if his forehead was red, he stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Ze's arm, raised his face and asked, "Jiang Ze, last time you told me that if you think of someone, your chest hurts, what does that mean?"

"Lin Chi..." Jiang Ze hesitated a bit, because Ning Fei specifically asked Lin Chi not to seduce Lin Chi, who didn't know anything, and let him just be a simple person.Jiang Ze thought over and over again, and decided to follow Ning Fei's note before he left, "Actually, that doesn't mean anything."

Lin Chen's hand holding Jiang Ze's arm drooped, "Really?" He looked down at the porcelain doll in his hand, "So it doesn't mean anything."

Shui Xin shook her head and walked in front of Lin Qiu, "You know exactly what that means."

"Shui Xin!" Jiang Ze stopped him, shaking his head at him to signal him to stop talking.

Shui Xin pushed away the hand that blocked him, "Jiang Ze, do you think this is helping Ning Fei? Ning Fei can't see clearly in the situation. If he doesn't let them see his heart clearly, things will only get worse and worse. It's getting worse. Lin Qiu!" Shui Xin shouted Lin Qiu's name loudly, and turned to look at him, "You actually know it in your heart, don't you? Otherwise, why would you push me into the water?"

Lin Chi shrank his neck from his fright, squeezed the porcelain doll in his hand, and lowered his head guiltily, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. Ah, it doesn't seem right to say that. I, I, I... I don't know what happened at that time. Yes, I just heard... I heard..." Lin Qiao said with a crying tone in his voice, he wiped the corner of his eyes, and sincerely bowed to Shuixin, "Anyway, I'm sorry!"

Shui Xin was taken aback by Lin Chen's sudden action. No one had ever apologized to him so seriously. There were people everywhere in the bar. Such a serious apology is not appropriate in a noisy bar. Because of face, Shui Xin helped her up. Lin Chen, the moment he lifted him up, he saw the porcelain doll that Lin Chen was holding tightly in his hand, and then looked up to see tears in Lin Chen's eyes, he sighed helplessly and softened his voice, "Forget it, it's okay to do something wrong once." The representative is a bad person, so you don’t have to blame yourself. Why did you come over and ask Jiang Ze all of a sudden?”

Lin Po pursed his lips and seemed aggrieved, "Because I don't understand."

"I don't understand what? Because that Lin Yue told me that Ning Fei was with him just to make up for the days when he couldn't come back to me. Obviously he said it one by one, but in a sentence, I couldn't understand it. , I can’t understand why Ning Fei did this? Obviously we made an agreement when we were young, and obviously he can come back to me directly.”

"It turns out that Lin Yue has already looked for you. He is right. In fact, I was lying to you before. You are not his substitute at all. On the contrary, he is your substitute."

Lin Chen was puzzled, "Why do you have to make things so troublesome?"

Shui Xin smiled, and stretched out her hand to press Lin Qiu's left chest. Lin Qiu reflexively turned to the side, and Shui Xin grabbed his arm to prevent him from hiding, "Because people's hearts are complicated, things also become troublesome. Think He can't help laughing, that's because he likes it. But later, he will occasionally feel pain and bitterness, and then he hears other people mentioning him and others, and after being sour, he does something that he regrets. There is jealousy and remorse , Lin Chen, don't you know why this is?"

Lin Chen glanced at Jiang Ze beside Shui Xin, his eyes were asking for help, Jiang Ze couldn't get in his mouth, because Shui Xin's words were too direct, and he was expressing his feelings, which were actually Jiang Ze's own feelings.

Jiang Ze couldn't help out, so Lin Chen lowered his head.Shui Xin didn't force him, looked at the smiling porcelain doll in his hand and said, "He bought a bicycle, but he sleeps in the staff lounge. Why do you think he bought a bicycle?"

Lin Chen looked confused, and repeated Shui Xin's words, "Then why did he buy a bicycle?"

"In short, it's not for the convenience of going to work. It's a matter of walking two steps from the backstage lounge to the front stage." Shui Xin shook his head and continued, "That day when he played the piano, you saw his hands were shaking and he couldn't move. Let's work hard."

Lin Chi lowered his eyes, "He said it was because the piano had been neglected for too long."

"No." Shui Xin interrupted very rudely, and glanced at Lin Qiao, "That's because he wiped the walls of the entire street during the day. He even cleaned the public toilets in the alleys. The purpose is to wipe off the stains on the walls." phone number left behind."

Lin Chen lowered his head and thought, no wonder the harassing calls didn't come back later.The porcelain doll in his hand was clenched tighter again.

Shui Xin looked at the porcelain doll in his hand, "Don't you still understand? Then I'll tell you again..."

"Hello, who is the owner of the bar?"

Shui Xin's words were suddenly interrupted.The happy guests around cast a lot of eyes.Jiang Zhe pulled Lin Qiao to hide behind him, and let Shui Xin stand beside him, smiling politely and vigilantly, "Comrade policeman, what's the matter? My business here is legal."

"We are here to confirm the situation. Please cooperate with the investigation."

"Confirm what?"

Jiang Ze and Shui Xin looked at each other suspiciously, and wanted to continue asking the police politely, when a female voice suddenly sounded behind the police, "It's me. I brought the police here."

Xiaomei appeared from behind the police with a smile, "Don't be nervous." Noticing Lin Qian behind Jiang Ze, she remembered his injury and asked again, "Is the injury on the back of your head all right?"

"My injury?" Lin Chen raised his hand in a daze to touch the almost healed injury on the back of his head, "How do you know about my injury?"

However, Xiaomei didn't care about Lin Ling, and pulled the timid person hiding behind her forward, "Fang Rou, don't be afraid, I will accompany you. We will cooperate with the police to collect evidence, so that Feng Lin can be arrested. After she finished speaking, she hugged Fang Rou's shoulders tightly, and when she nodded, Xiaomei turned her face and explained the situation clearly to Jiang Ze and Shui Xin, "We are here to identify the scene. Please take us to the back door, and then turn the monitor Make a copy and give it to the police comrades to take away."

"Oh." Shui Xin just remembered at this time that Ning Fei started to contact the victim girl to report Feng Lin's rape and blackmail two days ago.He patted Jiang Ze's hand to signal him to relax, "Ning Fei contacted them not long ago. This is the nurse Xiaomei who came to discuss this with Ning Fei before."

Lin Chen, who was behind Jiang Ze, heard this, and raised his head to look at Xiaomei again. She looked familiar, as if she was the person who came to the bar that day and Ning Fei cautiously entered the staff lounge behind.At that time, he thought she was pestering Ning Fei, but it was not what he thought.

"Then I'll take you to watch the monitoring first." Shui Xin said to Xiaomei and the group, then turned to send a note to Jiang Ze, "It's no big problem, you don't need to follow. You can send Lin Chi back first, so that he won't be watched by others." , otherwise Ning Fei should worry again."

"It's okay, I'll go back by myself." Lin Chen whispered stubbornly.

Shui Xin looked back at Lin Qiu who was pretending to be stubborn, "No one will see you off, so it's okay for you to walk alone at night?"

"I..." Shui Xin's words were blunt and sharp, which made Lin Chi gasp.

Shui Xin didn't want the police to stay in the front court too much, it was ugly, and the good people would add fuel to the scene later, and it might be rumored that his place was not clean.Thinking of this, I can't help but blame Ning Fei. Of course he doesn't care about anything because of Lin Chen, and he doesn't think about how difficult it is to open his own bar.

The more I think about it, the more angry I feel, especially when more and more people are talking about looking back, Shui Xin said to Lin Qu in a very bad tone, "Ning Fei is really, you didn't notify me before you left. You were so caught off guard Yes. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't stand here and suffer other people's eyes?"

Lin Chen was puzzled, "Because of me?"

"Because of you, he wanted to deal with Feng Lin in an upright manner. But he didn't want you to be involved. He made many phone calls and begged many people. Among the victims, only these two who had received his kindness were willing to stand up. Accused. If you say it’s not because of you, who else is because of you? Forget it, no matter how much you say, you’re still an idiot.” Shui Xin waved her hand irritably, “Jiang Ze, send him away quickly. It’s annoying to see him. Follow me."

Shui Xin led a group of people to pass in front of Lin Can. When Xiaomei passed by Lin Can, she stopped and looked at Lin Can carefully.Lin Chen was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, and he moved a step, allowing Jiang Ze's figure to cover him.

Xiaomei looked at the timid Lin Qiao and just smiled, "What are you afraid of me doing? Did I help you deal with your injury?"

"What?" Lin Chi came out from behind Jiang Ze again at this time, looked at Xiaomei with a strange face, and confirmed that he had only met her once, only at the bar, "I don't have that impression."

"You were asleep at the time." Xiaomei pinched her chin and recalled carefully, "When Ning Fei heard that I was a nurse, she asked me to bring medicine and tools from the hospital to clean your wound. You had a fever and slept deeply. Here When you were dealing with the wound, Ning Fei still held you in his arms and patted your back. That’s the same as in the Pediatrics Department of our hospital, where the father hugs and coaxes the child who is about to get an injection.” Xiaomei pouted, and sighed regretfully, Taking one more look at Lin Qiu, he walked away with emotion.

Lin Qian, who was hiding behind Jiang Ze, heard Xiaomei's voice drifting away.

"He looked quite fierce, but his expression was gentle at that time."

Lin Chen lowered his head, and kept touching the face of the porcelain doll in his hand, "I don't know. Ning Fei has done so much, and I don't know at all."

Jiang Ze turned his head to see his distressed and self-reproaching look, and patted his shoulder, "Ning Feihe... Anyway, he has already left. Don't worry about it."

"He's gone?" Lin Chen felt a dull pain in his heart, a kind of regret that was too late, and chopped his heart with a rusty axe.

"In short...forget it, don't think too much. I'll send you back first, and later..." Jiang Ze is really not good at comforting people, and he hesitated for a long time without saying any beautiful words that could comfort people's hearts. In the end, he could only be honest. Said, "Anyway, cheer yourself up in the future."

Lin Chi pursed his lips, his nose sore.After Ning Fei left, how should he cheer himself up?

In fact, he was not so weak, he left home bent on his own way, and he gritted his teeth and survived the hardships of life.It's just that when I meet Ning Fei again, someone takes care of me when I'm sick, and comforts me when I'm in a difficult life. Gradually, gradually, he becomes weak.Because of relying on him, he turned back into Lin Qian in the greenhouse.Because he was silently taken care of so well, he didn't know he was in the greenhouse.

But now?How should he cheer himself up now?

Lin Quan sniffed his nose, but the tears hadn't come down yet, Shui Xin hurried back again, scared Lin Quan forcefully held back his tears, except for Ning Fei, he never wanted to be seen with his red nose.Although he always brags that he is an adult in front of Ning Fei, but he only wants Ning Fei to see his childish side, and others can't.In front of other people, Lin Chen has to act like a duplicity adult.

Before Shui Xin opened his mouth, Lin Chen was afraid that his eyes and nose would turn red, so he hurriedly turned to leave, "You guys are busy, I'm going back."

Shui Xin grabbed him, "I still hate you after much deliberation!"

Lin Chen pursed his mouth, but still didn't look back, tears were about to gush out.He was so horribly dull that Shui Xin deserved to be scolded.

"I hate that iron can't be steel!" Shui Xin turned around Lin Qiu, and pointed at his nose angrily, "You didn't understand after saying so much. You can't recognize it yourself. What's the point of saying that word from someone else's mouth? What do you mean?" Shui Xin angrily pointed at Lin Qu and scolded him, and Lin Qu couldn't help but shed tears, and he kept admitting his belatedness, "I know, I know."

"You don't know!" Shui Xin shook off Jiang Ze who came up to pull him. Lin Quan looked at his unretracted index finger and thought that he was going to point his nose again and scold him. How could he know that Shui Xin didn't point at his face this time? , but pointing down at the china doll he was clutching.

Shui Xin lowered her voice, "You really don't know. This porcelain doll, Ning Fei, has been with me for many years."

Lin Qu looked down at the porcelain doll in his hand in surprise, "How is it possible? I dug it out from under the pomegranate tree at home..." Lin Qu looked at the porcelain doll in his hand in a daze, spread his fingers and looked carefully Read it again to see what is different about the porcelain doll in the palm.

The bar was dimly lit, Lin Qiu could see clearly, his head was buzzing, and the two people on the opposite side were talking, but Lin Qiu could not hear them at all.The porcelain doll in his hand was grinning at him. This was not the one he brought out from home, but the one he dug out from under the pomegranate tree. It was clearly a red spot on the forehead, but this one was the part on both sides of the cheeks. a red dot.

Suddenly, Lin Yue's words came to mind.

It's very strange, Ning Fei doesn't usually talk to me, but he always likes to call my name, I answered him but he didn't answer.Lin Chu Lin Chu always called my name throughout the day.

He bought a marshmallow that looked like a big cloud.When I entered the door, I smiled and said to me, look how much this looks like you.After laughing, he froze and entered the room without saying a word.

Why don't you understand?

Alas, I have said it so clearly, you are really too slow.

Then the out-of-body soul returns to the present, and the picture pauses a second before. Shui Xin tells him that Ning Fei has kept this porcelain doll with him for many years.

"Ning Fei?" Lin Chen murmured his name.

There were voices around again, and Lin Chen was at a loss as he watched Shui Xin open his mouth, spitting out words one by one, "Lin Chen, people like us are very different from you. Don't look at Ning Fei as stubborn and arrogant, in fact My heart is very humble. Otherwise, why would I never mention it in front of you? Silence has done so much for you? Although you are slow, you can go forward and pursue what you want to do, so I believe you can too Face your feelings bravely. If you don't say it first, Ning Fei will never dare to say a word. If you don't say it, Ning Fei may never come back."

"I... I was very partial to subjects since I was a child, and my reading comprehension was always bad. My mother said, it's not my fault, because when I was born, I was hypoxic and my heart stopped beating, so I don't need to pay too much attention to being slower than my peers. I... I don't know, what do you want me to say to Ning Fei."

"No, Lin Qian, you know."

Lin Chen raised his head and looked at Shui Xin. Shui Xin's eyes were glamorous and blurred by the lights of the bar, making Lin Can't move his eyes away, like a crystal ball that reflected people's hearts. He heard Shui Xin say, "You I know. There are joys and pains, and they hold you to the sun and make you jealous. There is only one thing that accommodates these two extreme sides.”
