like drinking ice

As soon as Li Zhurong left, there were only three of us left in the room.

I looked at Zheng Ao, and Li Xiu stared at me.Zheng Ao watched Li Zhurong go out, the door was closed again, the window let in the snow light, a wintersweet flower was inserted in the white porcelain plum vase on the shelf, the color alone made people feel cold.

Zheng Ao raised his eyes and glanced at me, Li Xiu suddenly stood in front of me as if he was facing an enemy: "What do you want?" He now regards himself as my protector, and he is fierce to Zheng Ao.

Zheng Ao turned around.

"I'm going to see how my grandma is doing, and the housekeeper will arrange for you."

But in just a few days, his back seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but he didn't say anything, explain, apologize, or wait for me to care about him, nothing.Although the Zheng family often have a smile on their lips, they are actually proud in their bones. The more wrong they are, the more proud they are.Of course, it may also be that he feels that I am not worthy of him.

We had lunch at Zheng's house. The Zheng family was in a state of chaos after such a big incident, but we still had dinner on time. Li Zhurong cleaned up the relatives and the servants were free. The housekeeper came over to ask us how the meal was going.Although the expression is sad, the attitude is respectful.

In the afternoon, Li Xiu was called by his father to run errands, and I sat alone in the reception room.There is heating, and the earth dragon burns very warmly. There are also books to read, and I read at the table under a blanket.Later, a group of female guests came, dressed in sable, all of them were very beautiful, the older ones were very graceful, and the young girls were restrained not to disturb me by talking loudly.

I heard a girl ask why her cousin didn't come.

They are the guests of the Guan family.

After a while, the housekeeper took them all away, leaving a room full of fragrance.

I don't know why I'm here.

Zheng Ao didn't seem to need me at all.

Li Xiu hadn't come back that night, so I stayed at Zheng's house alone.Obviously there are no rentals around here, so I called my dad and asked if he could send a car to pick me up.My dad told me a lot of truths in good words, what is the difficulty of the Zheng family now, I stayed here not only to do my best, but also to pass on news and so on. I'm going back.

I stayed in Zheng's guest room at night.

I don’t know if it’s snow or moonlight outside, the windows are all white. I want to go to the Zheng’s garden, which I used to like very much, but unfortunately it’s too cold.Instead, I heard the voices of the guests from the Guan family.The members of the Guan family are very forthright, and their voices are very frank.

Even I know that there are so many female guests from the Guan family, and I'm afraid there will be more male guests.When something happened to Zheng Yehu, the Guan family came out in full force. To put it bluntly, they cared.

The next day it was sunny.

I decided to go out by myself.

I greeted the butler, who was very surprised. I said that I had some things at home, and I had to go to the company to ask for leave, so I had to go back.The butler said that he could wait for the husband to come back, and now the cars are all out.

Maybe Zheng Yehu is indeed more ominous than good, both the Zheng family and the Li family call the family members Mr. Zheng Ao has become Mr. now.

I said it's okay, you can show me the way, and I will go out and take a taxi.

Seeing that the housekeeper couldn't keep me, he looked very embarrassed, and he didn't want to talk about having a car now, so he let me go out.

This area is full of courtyards. The elm trees have lost all their leaves, and the branches are covered with snow. In one courtyard, a very spiritual green pine tree is planted, with a little tip exposed, covered with snow, like a pagoda.I got closer to have a look, and saw two guards standing at the door.

I have the impression that the old house of the Li family is also here. I hope I don’t meet Li Yan. When I was a child, he asked me to harm Li Xiu. I refused, and even sued Li Zhurong. After that, he hated me.Although Li Zhurong couldn't be punished too much because of the favor of his relatives, they all cared about face.

After walking for 2 minutes, several cars passed by. I stood on the side of the road and let them pass first, but they stopped.

The window of one of them was rolled down, revealing Zheng Ao's face in the back seat.He was wearing a black overcoat, and his face was very pale. He probably didn't sleep well. The Zheng family and his son both had peach blossom eyes, and their eyes were a little red, but they didn't look embarrassed, but they were very beautiful.

We confronted for a while, and he spoke first.

"Are you going back?"

I nodded.

He didn't ask why, and he didn't ask to stay.

"Let them go back first, let's go to Li's house." He told the driver.

I haven't sat down with Zheng Ao so peacefully for a long time.

It's just that we have nothing to say.

For more than ten minutes away, he didn't explain a word, it seems that that time in the bar has already finished all the words in our life.I thought it was me who had to be firm and not be deceived, but it turned out that he didn't want to deceive me at all.

He doesn't need me.

I feel a little cold, and I want to laugh a little.

When he saw the Li family, he stopped.

"I won't go in, you go back."

"it is good."

I was about to get out of the car, but the door didn't open.

He was sitting there with his back against the back of the chair, and he turned his face to look at the snow outside the window, and all I could see was the back of his head.

"My dad's plane was found," he said. "The entire tail is gone, the pilot and co-pilot's bodies were found, and a few more are being identified."

I do not know what to say.

He didn't give me time to talk either.

"Open the door, he's going down."

It was still very early, my dad was eating breakfast and reading at the dining table with his clothes on. When he saw me coming back, he was shocked and thought something had happened.

I explained it clearly to him, but he didn't say anything about me.

My dad's character is like this. He always forgets that the world is not what he thinks, and then makes some difficult demands.But if others can't do it, he won't criticize others severely.A person like him can't do anything that hurts a lot.

It's just that I never wanted to disappoint him.

"It's good to be back." He was probably comforting himself: "Have you had breakfast? Today's porridge is delicious."

I served a bowl of porridge, sat at the table and drank it, while listening to my dad asking about the Zheng family one after another, and answering him slowly.The housekeeper brought freshly cut roses to insert, and the whole restaurant was full of fragrance.My face was originally cold, but it gradually warmed up.

The phone in my pocket flickered, I took it out, it was a text message, the sender was Zheng Ao.

I shook the spoon and spilled a little porridge. My dad noticed it and raised his eyes to look at me.

I took my phone and went to the side to open it.

He said, "Xiao Lang, my heart is empty."

I typed a string of words and then slowly deleted them.I instinctively want to comfort him and tell him that everything will pass, that things are not that bad, that auspicious people have their own destiny, no matter how difficult the day is, as long as it passes, looking back, it will be bright sunshine.

But I still remember his arrogance, his silence, his silence, no explanation, no apology, no sign of weakness, as if there was nothing wrong with him in the whole thing, as if I should just follow behind him like this , don't need a little apology, don't need a little comfort, and will treat him wholeheartedly, and will be so cheap to the bone for that little love.

Where I stood stood new roses, still dewy on the buds.I still remember every sentence, every word he said in the greenhouse.

I picked up the phone and texted him back word by word.

I said: "Go to Ning Yue, the world is so big, there are always things you haven't played before, and you won't be empty if you enjoy it."

After answering the text message, I sat back at the dining table and continued to drink porridge.Probably my attitude was very calm, and my dad didn't ask me any more.

It's a bit ironic that after saying these words, I don't have much desire for revenge in my heart. Zheng Ao said that his heart is very empty, but my heart is really empty now, like a hole has been corroded, empty, The hurricane blows through my heart, and I can't catch anything.

I am probably destined to never finish this bowl of porridge.

After two sips, the butler took the phone and answered it for my dad.

My dad said "hmm" twice, the call was very short, he hung up the phone and looked up at me.

His eyes were very complicated, he was a little cautious, and he was observing my expression, and he probably blamed me a little bit.

He said: "Xiaoan called and said that Zheng Ao's car was hit by someone on the road. The situation is still unclear, so let's not worry."

The spoon in my hand fell off.

I think, probably I am really a very stupid person.

He doesn't have the wisdom to dissect everything, but insists on making himself so sharp, so whatever he does is wrong.
