south and north

Back at the hotel, Ye Youlan started calling, "Sister Fang, what happened to the boy you mentioned last time who was studying in Beijing?"

Pu's father was on the side, and the more he heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he quickly reached out to give her a hand, "What are you doing?"

Ye Youlan waved her hand, "Don't worry about it."

Said and walked to the side.

When she came back from the phone call, she sat on the sofa and sighed.Papa Pu couldn't help but asked, "Isn't everything all right? You were stimulated by something again and suddenly became worried. Didn't you say that Lao Fang is too temperamental last time, and if you are a relative with her, you will be overwhelmed by her?"

Sister Fang is Ye Youlan's cousin. Although she is a distant relative who has turned seven or eight corners, because they are all in the education system, they move around more.

Last year, when a relative got married and went to a wedding banquet, and mentioned that Pu Xiangnan was going to university in Beijing, Sister Fang took the initiative to say that her husband’s family had a nephew who was also in Beijing, and he was a year older than Pu Xiangnan, which meant that the two Little children make contact.

This person is in a foreign land, so of course he needs someone familiar to help him at home.Moreover, the people introduced by relatives know the basics, and now they have been developing for two years, and they can get married after graduation without any delay.

Although Ye Youlan didn't explicitly refuse, but privately she felt that it was inappropriate.

However, today is different, she rolled her husband's eyes, "What do you know? I am prepared for any danger!"

It's not a matter of success, but it's good to find someone to distract Pu Xiangnan for the time being.But in a hurry, this is the best choice, and because I mentioned it before, it won't look abrupt.

Pu's father was like any father in the world who wanted to marry his daughter, dissatisfied, "Our Pu Xiangnan is only eighteen, what's the hurry? It's not too late to find another 28."

Ye Youlan thumped her, "You speak lightly!"

If Pu Xiangnan had a boyfriend normally, let alone 28, she would not be in a hurry at 38... No, no, 38 is still a bit too big, 33 is acceptable at four years old... Ye Youlan thought about it seriously, then thought about today What I saw gave me a headache.

Injustice, it is said that children are debts, the old saying is true!

After a while, the phone rang, and it was Sister Fang's WeChat, who sent a few photos of the boy, and pushed a WeChat business card.Ye Youlan clicked on it, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The boy looked upright and tall, so he had a good first impression.

She immediately wanted to forward the business card to Pu Xiangnan, held the phone in her hand for a while, hesitated, but held back.It seems strange that this matter is too urgent, and we still need to think about it in the long run.

Fortunately, no matter what, when I came back to Beijing, I finally figured out the reason why Pu Xiangnan was abnormal, so I didn't make a trip in vain.

Although Ye Youlan might wish she hadn't found anything.

A week later, Pu Xiangnan received a message from his mother, saying that she had sent some things to her, but it was co-posted with other people and sent to another school. Someone would send it to her and asked her to add it first. Click on the other party's WeChat to facilitate contact.

She was bewildered by the news.

"It's 9102. It's not like there's no door-to-door pick-up service for express delivery, and the charges are based on weight. Why is there a need for co-delivery?" She groaned while paralyzed on the bed.

Originally, the courier brother could deliver it downstairs, but now I have to trouble another person to come and deliver it to her specially.The traffic jam in Beijing is so congested, why is this so?

Xie Wennan hit the nail on the head, "Your mother didn't say whether the person who gave you the gift was a man or a woman?"

Pu Xiangnan had already clicked on the business card, and said casually, "Men."

Xie Wennan suddenly said "hey", "You don't understand this. How can this be a gift? This is a gift for you!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Pu Xiangnan sat up from the bed in fright, and frowned, "How could my mother do such a thing? How old am I? I don't need my family to worry about my blind date, right? Besides, I still have to go to school." Well, you also know that my mother is a teacher, and she always puts the most emphasis on studies..."

"That's not necessarily the case. The last time we met, Auntie said personally that the friendship in the ivory tower is the most precious." Xie Wennan retorted.

When Pu Xiangnan heard the words, he felt a little suspicious in his heart.

Because this matter is indeed completely beyond her understanding of Teacher Ye Youlan.But the things had already been mailed, no matter how confused she was, she had no choice but to add the other party's WeChat and offered to go and pick them up.

It is said that they are both in Beijing, but the distance between the two schools is very far, and it takes several hours to go back and forth. Pu Xiangnan is ashamed to bother others so much.

——Although she was very desperate when she thought of not only being unable to sleep in on weekends, but also having to go out to squeeze the subway.

Fortunately, the other party said that he was going to come here to find someone on the weekend, so he sent the things over by the way, no trouble.Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Pu Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief, and offered to invite him to dinner.

Xie Wennan fanned the flames, "It's over, it's over, little one, have you watched "Fortress Besieged"?"

"What?"

"Zhao Xinmei said: 'Between men and women, the knowledge of borrowing books is very great.' Because you have to return the borrowed books, there are two contacts between borrowing and returning, and this is often the beginning of a relationship between a man and a woman."

Xie Wennan smiled maliciously, "I think this invitation to dinner is also very knowledgeable. He is a boy, and it is the first time we meet, how can he have the nerve to let you treat him? He must compete to invite you. He has helped you in the first place. If He paid the money, how can you feel sorry? If you win, his masculine self-esteem will inevitably be brought back. Think about it, isn't this routine exactly the same?"

"...You think too much, sister." Pu Xiangnan retorted not very firmly.

Xie Wennan shrugged, "Of course, things may not necessarily develop as I said. After all, there must be a prerequisite for it, that is, the other party has taken a fancy to you after meeting."

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked Pu Xiangnan up and down, "But, with our little beauty, we probably can't go wrong."

Pu Xiangnan should be the kind of girl most favored by men. She is petite and cute, and can be fully embraced; with big eyes and a small round face, she is both pleasing and lovable, and can definitely satisfy the machismo psychology of many people ; and her size did not affect her physical development at all, with lordosis and back curl, everything she should have.

At least first impressions are bound to be good.

The more Pu Xiangnan listened, the more uncomfortable he became, and he quickly said, "Don't make a fuss."

But at the same time, she also quietly revised the plan of treating guests to dinner. It is better to give some practical small gifts. No, no, it is not appropriate to give gifts. There is always a feeling of "privately giving and receiving", in case the other party misunderstood , that's really impossible to wash away even if you jump into the Yellow River.And according to Xie Wennan, if this gift is given, there may be a gift in return, and it is not clear whether it is sent back and forth.

Fortunately, most of the items sent from home are edible, such as dried fish, chili sauce and other local products, let him take some of them back, so as not to be rude, nor to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Pu Xiangnan originally thought that Xie Wennan was thinking too much, maybe it was really just a way to send someone something, and there was no other meaning.But on the weekend night, after meeting the male fellow from the same country, my mother actually took the initiative to call over, testing her attitude inside and outside the words.

"Why do you ask so many questions? It's none of my business. I just gave something away without looking at it carefully. Who knows?" Pu Xiangnan simply pretended not to know anything and said deliberately.

But Ye Youlan didn't give her a chance to pretend to be stupid, "It doesn't matter if you don't know now, you will know after getting in touch with each other more. You are both young people, and you have a lot of topics in common, so it won't hurt to keep in touch with each other."

"Mom! What are you talking about?" Pu Xiangnan couldn't believe his ears.

Is this still her own mother who told her to focus on her studies and not to go on errands?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but whispered, "You really look like a pimp, don't you?"

"Pu Xiangnan!" Teacher Ye Youlan was so sharp that she didn't miss a word, and she was about to die of anger.

Pu Xiangnan couldn't help reaching out to grab the leaves of the pot of spider plants on the balcony, "It's there, what are you doing? I'm only so old, I haven't reached the point where I need someone from my family to introduce me to, right? Is your daughter not going to get married? "

She hadn't discussed this issue with her parents before, and suddenly realized that she had reached the age where she needed to think about these things, but she was completely repelled in her heart.

Not to mention that she already has someone in her heart, even if she doesn't, the interference of parents is still very unpleasant.

Ye Youlan was silent for a moment, and then she slowed down and said, "I'm not pressing your head to ask you to fall in love with someone, but just to let you get in touch. You are fellow villagers, and you are both in Beijing. It's normal for you to take care of each other. It's multiple friends, isn't it good?"

not good.Pu Xiangnan looked up at the sky, "Then I'm done contacting, I don't think there's any need to keep in touch, that's all."

The mother and daughter broke up unhappy, and Pu Xiangnan opened WeChat to complain to his father.

Pu's father comforted her, "I think your mother is probably in menopause. She has a thought every day, and she doesn't know what she is thinking. She has such a temper. If you follow her, you will be fine." This old man said this for almost 20 years. Years, very skilled.

Pu Xiangnan couldn't help but said, "Aren't you afraid that I have already made a boyfriend in school, and I will break up with you?"

"That can't be done." Pu's father took it for granted, "Your mother has already asked the little girls in your dormitory. You don't have a boyfriend now, and there is no suitor you like."

Well, let’s talk about why this incident was brought up all of a sudden, it was actually Xie Wennan who reported it!

Pu Xiangnan immediately dropped the phone, and rushed to Xie Wennan's neck from behind, "Okay, Nannan, let me tell you why you are so conscious when you play the side drum! Tell me, when my mother was here, what kind of monster did you do to her old man?" How? Otherwise, she wouldn't suddenly care about my life's affairs."

"I'm wronged!" Xie Wennan screamed cooperatively, "My lord, spare your life, and all the little ones will be recruited! It's not a small informer, but the empress dowager asked if you have any close male classmates in school. You also know that the empress dowager's majesty Eight sides, imposing manner, how can the villain withstand it? I have to recruit."

While laughing, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and Lu Yanbei walked in from the outside.

She didn't know the summary of the previous story, but when she saw Pu Xiangnan hugging Xie Wennan's neck intimately, she couldn't help but pause, her chest seemed to be blocked by something.

Except that time when he carried her back to the dormitory, even when the two of them were best friends, Pu Xiangnan had never been so close to her.

After suffering, there is fear.

Lu Yanbei walked past the two with heavy steps.Recently, the corners of her clothes almost touched Pu Xiangnan's back, but such a secret intimacy could no longer give her any comfort in front of the open intimacy of the two.

"Sa Sa is back?" Xie Wennan struggled out of Pu Xiangnan's arms, and greeted her with a smile.

Lu Yanbei felt another prick in his heart, quickly avoided looking at it, and explained, "I'm coming back to get something."

In fact, although she moved out of the dormitory, since her bed is still here, she is still a member of the 201 dormitory, and she doesn't need to explain to anyone when she comes in and out.

Moreover, Lu Yanbei stood blankly in front of his desk for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't remember what he came back to get.

Her thoughts seemed to have their own ideas, and they all ran in the direction of Pu Xiangnan.

She already treats others closer than herself.

Lu Yanbei had to admit that perhaps because Pu Xiangnan was the one who confessed, even if she rejected the other party, she still had a secret feeling in her heart: since she likes me, I should be the most special one to her. One, even if it is rejected, it will not change.

Those who are favored are fearless.

That's... despicable.

In a daze, she heard Xie Wennan say, "Oh, actually this kind of thing is very normal, it's nothing, parents are all the same. If you know that I met seven or eight men of the same age in succession during Chinese New Year, one of them was my former younger brother , would you feel a little more comforted?"

Lu Yanbei couldn't help turning his head to look over there.

Pu Xiangnan's attention was completely attracted by Xie Wennan at this moment, and he didn't notice her at all, "Really? Are you so exaggerated?"

Xie Wennan sighed, "I'm an only child. My mother is afraid that I won't be able to go back if I stay in Beijing, so she wants me to find a local boyfriend and go back as soon as I graduate. It's best to take the civil service exam and work in an agency. It's safe and decent. , and then get married and have children step by step.”

She shrugged, "Look, parents are all the same."

"..." In comparison, Teacher Ye's approach can indeed be considered gentle, and he even bothered to create opportunities for them to meet.

Although Pu Xiangnan was still scratching his head, what could he do?Do you want to tell your parents that I don't have a male classmate I like, but there is a female classmate?

If he was already with Lu Yanbei, Pu Xiangnan might think about how to come out to his family.But now, it's useless to say that.Since we are not together, no one knows what will happen in the future, and we may not be able to find a man or a woman, so there is no need to make trouble for the family.

Xie Wennan said again, "Actually, if you don't hate that boy, it's good for you to get in touch with him! Didn't you say he's more handsome than in the photo, and you don't have anyone you like now anyway, so try it with a handsome guy and you won't suffer. It's really done." , your parents must be happy, and if it doesn’t work, they don’t have to deal with it. At the worst, they can get a few months of safety——if you don’t agree, they will dare to bother you with this matter, believe it or not?”

With a "pop", the book in Lu Yanbei's hand fell to the ground.

She lowered her head to pick it up in a daze, but she didn't pay attention, and bumped into the cabinet next to her again. She hissed in pain, and squatted on the ground, almost unable to stand up.

When I saw Pu Xiangnan and Xie Wennan getting so close just now, I felt very bad.But because he is a good friend in the dormitory, and because Xie Wennan is already famous, Lu Yanbei can at least keep calm.

But what were they talking about just now?

A man of the same age introduced by a parent is handsome, give it a try...

It's not that I don't understand, it's that I can't believe it.

Lu Yanbei finally grabbed the book he had dropped.She reached out to support a cabinet, stood up slowly, tidied up the open books, and put them back on the shelf.

Then she turned around, strode over, grabbed Pu Xiangnan's hand, "Come with me."

Before Xie Wennan could finish asking "what are you doing", those two people had already walked out of the dormitory, so she could only curse in a low voice, "I don't know why." Then she turned to Su Rina, "Boss, what do you mean by Sa Sa and the others? "

"Are you going to reconcile?" Su Rina guessed.

Xie Wennan thought for a while, and said sincerely, "Okay, that's not bad. I've been suffering so much for the past two months. Every time there are four people, I feel inexplicably embarrassed."

Lu Yanbei pulled Pu Xiangnan forward, at first Pu Xiangnan staggered two steps, she immediately noticed this, and slowed down her pace so that she could keep up.The two went downstairs just like that, turned right along the boulevard in front of the dormitory building, and quickly put aside the noisy noise of pedestrians.

Next to the dormitory building is the school wall, usually no one will come, it is quiet.

The street lamps stretched Lu Yanbei's shadow very long, Pu Xiangnan was shrouded in this shadow, and couldn't help being in a trance for a moment.

It seemed that the two months of estrangement did not exist. They were still the same as before, walking hand in hand on the side of the road without doing anything, which was something to be happy about.

Lu Yanbei stopped under the streetlight.She let go of her hand, turned around to face Pu Xiangnan, looked at her quietly for a while, and then said, "Do you have anything to say?"

This person, she obviously pulled him out by herself, but now she wants to talk about it herself.

Pu Xiangnan took two steps back, opened a little distance, then raised his head and stared at her with an unflinching momentum, "What am I going to say? If I say I like you now, you will be with me ?"

Lu Yanbei was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Sorry..."

"Then what do you want me to say?" Pu Xiangnan was already in a bad mood tonight because of the arrangement of his parents, but now he was disturbed by Lu Yanbei again, his grievances surged up from his heart, and he couldn't suppress it at all. live.

As soon as the tip of her nose became sore, her vision was completely blurred, "Lu Yanbei, you are bullying!"

When she confessed her love for the first time, or when she was rejected, she had never been wronged like this. Pu Xiangnan covered his face and knelt down, crying heartbreakingly.

Startled by her sudden emotion, Lu Yanbei squatted down subconsciously.But when she opened her mouth, she found that any comforting words were so pale.In fact, she knows how to make the other party happy. Just say "I like you too" and nod your head. Not only can they restore their previous relationship, but they can even become closer.

But I just can't say it.

She reached out her hand clumsily, and patted Pu Xiangnan's back.But realizing her movements, Pu Xiangnan cried even louder.

"Why..." She really didn't understand, "Is it so difficult to like me once?"

Lu Yanbei felt as if his heart was hit by an invisible electric current, it was painful and numb.She couldn't even squat, half kneeled on the ground, and put her arms around Pu Xiangnan's shoulders.

"I'm sorry," her voice trembled slightly, "it's none of your business, it's me, Xiaoxiao, I don't know how to like you."

She pressed the person to her chest vigorously, as if she used this action to draw courage and strength from the other person before she could say the next thing, "When I was... when I was very young, maybe three or four years old, I I am very used to running to the hospital frequently. Looking back now, the first and clearest impression in my life is the smell of hospital beds and disinfectant."

The words were nonsensical, but Pu Xiangnan was quickly attracted, and even lowered his crying, subconsciously listening to her.

"My mother..." This address seemed unfamiliar to Lu Yanbei, and with a more complicated emotion, she paused here before continuing, "She is not in good health, it is... cancer."

Pu Jiangnan's sobbing stopped.

"Of course, I didn't know what cancer was at that time. I only knew that she lived in the hospital for at least half a year every year. Even if she went home, she could only stay in the upstairs room to recuperate. But I later learned that it was actually very good. gone."

"She died when I was six years old."

Human power is so thin and insignificant that we can never keep what is truly precious.

After losing his mother, Lu Yanbei began to lose more things, "After only half a year, five months and eighteen days to be exact, he planned to marry again."

She didn't use the word "father", Pu Xiangnan raised his head subconsciously, wanting to see Lu Yanbei's expression.But Lu Yanbei firmly held her shoulders, imprisoned her, and did not give her this chance, "Six-year-old children, they think I don't understand anything, but I understand everything."

Those eyes full of sympathy cast on her, the whispers and discussions of those people before and after.

They said the child was poor.

They said that there is no man who guards women, not to mention that Boss Lu is so young and promising, he must find another one.

They said that Boss Lu must have a son to inherit such a large family business!

They said that in fact, when Mrs. Lu was still there, Boss Lu had already been ambiguous with that woman.A man is an animal that thinks from the lower body. Mrs. Lu looks sick, how can she have fun?There is no way to hunt wild food outside.

They said they said... In these gossips, Lu Yanbei finally restored the truth of the whole thing.

She used to have a brother.

Mrs. Lu's illness was discovered when she was pregnant.It shouldn't have been, but she insisted on staying, so she had to give birth.As a result, the fetus was not well raised. The child was born weak and had heart problems. After a few months of stumbling and raising, he finally died.

Originally, Mrs. Lu's illness had hope to be cured, but after the child was gone, she also lost the will to survive, and her body completely collapsed.

The relationship between the husband and wife also changed because of the child's death and Mrs. Lu's illness.At that time, Lu Chenghua had someone outside.That woman was originally his secretary, who was hidden in his golden house, and she couldn't wait to bring her in the door as soon as she died.

That day, he led the woman in and asked Lu Yanbei to call her aunt, saying that they would be a family from now on.

Lu Yanbei responded by yelling at her to get out.She is still young, but she already knows that this is not a good thing, and that this daughter is a shame to herself.

Lu Chenghua lost face, flew into a rage, and pushed his daughter down the steps by mistake.

The little Lu Yanbei rolled seven or eight steps, and a big gash was cut on his forehead on the ground. His whole body was in excruciating pain, but he did not forget to stare at the man and woman who was much taller than her with blood on his head. : "If you want to enter the Lu family's door, you have to step on my dead body!"

She actually learned this line from the TV series.

But Lu Chenghua was frightened, and the woman was also frightened, so the marriage fell through.

But it was useless, since then, Lu Chenghua began to wander around the flowers in an open and honest manner.Sometimes Lu Yanbei even felt that he had given him an excellent and irresponsible excuse. If any woman wanted to mention marriage, he just had to use his crazy daughter as a shield.

Can't let him step on his daughter's body to marry a bride!

In this case, naturally don't expect any father-daughter affection.

Lu Chenghua hated, even faintly feared this daughter, wishing to stay away from her.He didn't even go back to his home very often. Anyway, he had a lot of real estate under his name, and there were beautiful women in the house, so where would it be better to go than to go back to that empty and gloomy villa?

"That's how I grew up." Lu Yanbei summed up his past 19 years of life so calmly, "No one has ever liked me, and I don't know how to like others."

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao. I want to pretend to be like you, but I really... can't."

Her confinement was loosened at some point, Pu Xiangnan raised his head from her embrace, staring blankly into Lu Yanbei's eyes.

Lu Yanbei's expression could be called calm, but Pu Xiangnan felt that she was crying.

She just couldn't make a sound.

"You..." She opened her mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, she could only ask dully, "You said before that when you were a child, you rolled down the stairs, so you were a little afraid of heights. Is it this time?"
