Balance beam

Chapter 34

In the processing workshop of a certain gold shop, the master cut a little bit and then explained it in detail. Palin stood with his arms folded, slightly bent over and stared at the diamond in his hand intently.

It is only when it is your turn to take part in the seemingly simple process that you realize how difficult it really is. What does ten years of hard work mean?It doesn't matter if you get close to the grinding wheel, if you don't pay attention to the little diamond, it will distort its original appearance, and it will waste a certain amount of jewelry with just a light push.Although Palin didn't care about how much money he lost, he still cared about his face, and he couldn't help showing embarrassment.

The technician has said before that even though he has a good intention, this is not something that ordinary people can get started in a short time.You must be patient, persistent, and able to withstand scrutiny. Palin is patient, so he asked the master to arrange tasks from the simplest practice like an apprentice.The tall man leaned over the tool, wearing a special magnifying glass on his eyes, staring at the hard crystal carefully, his eyes were so focused that it was unbearable to be mistaken.

Sonia lay on the bed and coughed lightly. The doctor carefully told her to pay more attention to rest and dietary precautions. The family nurse gently rubbed the back of her hand with a cotton swab and pulled out the drip needle.Songsong leaned on the door and leaned in with his upper body.Sonia smiled at her son, and walked towards her with open arms loosely. Just as Sonia was about to say, "Come, let mom hug you." She immediately withdrew her hand and covered her mouth with regret, "Go out quickly, mom is contagious." sick."

Song Song hugged the little bear tightly, "I'm not afraid."

Palin nodded to the doctor from behind Songsong, and mouthed to Sonia, "You should rest!" Then he picked up his son, and slowly closed the door tightly.

Sonia looked at the gap that was gradually closing, and her heart was pierced for a moment.I ran away from home twice, and the one who was most sorry was that child. When I was standing on the street waiting for Bai Li, my mind was full of his son, his expression when he found out that he was not there, the way he cried, Sonia I regretted it a bit, but I couldn't make it despite leaving everything behind, and I felt even more sorry for Songsong.

Bai Li managed to get Palin to go out, squatted on the side of Sonia's bed and kissed the back of her hand while blaming himself, "I was delayed that day." Sonia smiled and expressed her understanding, and discussed with him not to act for the time being. There should be a turnaround.Sonia didn't tell Bai Li that she didn't want to give up Songsong, but wanted to break up properly if possible.Bai Li nodded and agreed. One is that Sonia's physical condition is not suitable, and the other, what he didn't tell Sonia is that Miao Ke confessed to him.

On the day of the appointment, his wife cried and stopped him as if she had a premonition, holding his leg and preventing him from going out. Bai Li couldn't get rid of that pitiful gesture. "Bo Li, I love you, why do you think I don't love you. Think about it, if I don't love you, why do I have to bear so many gossips?" Of course it is not the generosity of a wife. The family is right, if Sonia is in that position, she will definitely not let it go.

Bai Li thought of their past. Although there was a suspicion of marriage, back then, he liked that woman with a shy expression who was reading under a tree.But the word love is too far away for them.In the end, Miao Ke persuaded him to focus on his career and promised him that he would persuade his family to support him. Bai Li was moved.Known as Little Superman, what kind of realm would he be if he had his father's support.Although my father said that the government monopolizes the project, he stepped in like water into a frying pan, and it must be fried to dryness.But if the wife comes forward, the attitude will be different.

Bai Li told Sonia that he would never give up his career, even if Palin retaliated against him, he would hold on. After this period of time, everything had a clue, and they wanted to fight for happiness together.Sonia was bewildered by his brilliance again, she nodded with a smile and said, "I support you!"

The city of Changxia is not impressive at all. Even if the outside world proclaims that the four seasons are like spring, it is still a place the size of a palm.From one end of the city to the other, the taxi fare will never exceed 20 yuan.

Palin leaned on the balcony to look at the scenery outside. Of course, it is not as prosperous as a big city. Even if you stay in the best hotel in the area and guard the best scenery, you will still see the houses in the distance, and even faintly hear the noise in the alley. sound.The roofs of this city are unique, a bit Baroque, even the bungalows have pointed tops, and the red tiles make the sky bluer and greener greener.There are a lot of green radishes and moss growing on the wall, and the mood is also good even if it is fixed and noisy.

Looking back at the room, the son, like a little adult, chose the room and took out his clothes and tidied them up one by one.The housekeeper tried to help, but was also declined, and Perrin couldn't help laughing.It is always inconvenient for him to bring his children out alone, and he specially hired a male servant just to take care of Songsong, but his son has a sensible expression, talking like an adult makes people laugh.

The father and son ate a delicious meal to appease the fatigue of the journey. Perrin asked his son, "Do you like this place?" Songsong looked up at him, his big eyes seemed to be foggy.The air outside is very humid and sticky compared to the dryness of my hometown. Songsong actually doesn’t like it here and always feels a little depressed. It may be because her mother is not around when she left home, or it may be because of the people here. Rustic feeling, whether it is speaking or clothing, although very enthusiastic, he still has a slight discomfort.

It's just that when my father talked to people in the company, he seemed to have mentioned that he should focus on development.Songsong is a child of a big family. Whether it is grandpa, father or grandpa, they always talk about business affairs at home, and they always feel that work matters are more important.He doesn't understand this industry, and of course he can't tell whether his father's vision is good or bad, and he doesn't want to pretend that I like this place so much, so he wrinkled his nose and said "it's okay~" with a little reluctance.

Perrin laughed out loud, it's not only okay, even the air in the city with that person is refreshingly fresh.

Perrin took a long breath, "The weather here is good, and it's a place to raise people. People don't have to be rich and powerful, the most important thing is to have a good temperament." What does what his father said have anything to do with living here?If it is better to say that the hometown is outstanding, Songsong said, "Songsong, Mom is sick, and Dad took you out for vacation because he was afraid that you would be infected. If you miss Mom, wait until she recovers. Let's go back, shall we?" Jiang Jiang raised his face and smiled, "I know, I won't make a fuss about going home."

In fact, Songsong is very wronged. If she is two years younger, she can cry loudly and clamor to go home and find her mother.There is nothing to play here, it is inconvenient to eat anything, and there is no rice cracker rolls for sale, which is really inconvenient.

Li Jia was very nervous when he came to see Palin, "You brought your son too?" Palin smiled brightly, "Come to introduce to you, let people see our little handsome boy."

"Songsong, this is Uncle Li." There was a bit of flattery in his father's voice, like asking if you like it when giving him a gift?With that little expectation.Songsong only looked up, and Li Jiaji grinned and said, "Hello." Songsong also grinned at him, seeing people like them a lot in his father's company, where would they be? The employees of the company are here to flatter the horse, right?

After the father and the uncle went out, Songsong quietly looked at him from behind, and then sat on the door frame to look at him through the half-open door. Lie on the bed and flip through a book.

Palin peeled fruit for Li Jia to show off proudly, "See, my son is very good. Such a young child is very curious and has a high emotional intelligence. When he was young, his mother bathed him and told the story of the prince marrying the princess. The people who talked about that paragraph are annoying, and he still hasn’t gotten tired of listening to it. Guess why?” Li Jia shook his head, “He asked his mother later, what is marriage? His mother said that we live together happily just like my father and I. He then asked, can I marry my mother? Tell him you can’t marry my mother, and he keeps asking, why? I like my mother, why can’t I marry my mother? Then you ask your father. He is naked Just ran out and asked me, Dad, will I marry Mom in the future? Do you know how old he was at that time, two years old. A two-year-old kid," Palin suddenly lowered his tone when he was happy, and peeked at Song Then he lowered his voice to Perrin's ear, "I can't let him hear it, I should be shy again."

Li Jia looked at Palin and smiled. This man was in a good state of mind, and he was especially radiant when talking about his son. It turned out that Palin also had a fatherly side. Li Jia couldn't tell whether it was comforting or a little jealous. The two exchanged smiles, The more he looked at Palin, the more he felt that this man was outstanding.

Palin smiled and leaned over to Li Jia's ear and whispered, "Looking at me longingly, do you miss me so much when I'm not around?" Li Jia blinked, and Palin touched the corner of his mouth with his hand , Li Jia's thin lips parted unconsciously, "It's stained with something."

Li Jia's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he hurriedly wiped it off with his hands. "It's okay, it's coffee." Always embarrassing in front of Palin.If she was young, she could be called cute, but now that she is old, she can only be called sloppy. Thinking about it this way, even her neck turns red.

The butler was busy in the kitchen with great interest, and occasionally heard a sound or two. Palin's throat was dry, and he leaned over and licked the corner of Li Jia's lips, "Okay, no more." The sudden sneak attack was so obvious , Li Jia slightly opened his mouth to look at Palin, Palin raised his eyebrows, "Look at me again, I will do even more extreme things."

Li Jia quickly lowered his eyes, but couldn't help but glance at Palin. Palin didn't do anything else, and sat upright with a smile on his face and asked Li Jia if he had any plans or arrangements.Li Jia shook his head, "I don't have any plans for work yet, so I'll take a short break and wait for Jiang Jiang to calm down." Palin nodded, and Li Jia looked over his shoulder at the time on the wall, "I'm going back."

Palin reluctantly sent Li Jia to the door. When Li Jia opened the door, Palin grabbed his waist with both hands behind him. Li Jia turned around and saw Palin's teasing face, so he turned around and rubbed his nose. Perrin immediately hugged Li Jia in his arms, and kept rubbing his nose against his face.Li Jia laughed lightly at first, seeing him always pestering him and not letting go, suddenly realized whether he wanted that, so he asked in a low voice, "Do you want to do it?"

Palin was stunned, his blood surged up for a while, and he almost pushed Li Jia down to do business on the spot. After calming down a little, Palin was amazed.Li Jia's words sounded like temptation at first glance, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed like a routine. Although the way he looked at himself was not perfunctory, there was something vaguely wrong.

Palin's original intention was not to delay Li Jia's journey home, so as not to be interrogated by his son again.As long as you touch his ears, touch his face, and rub your fingers from time to time, it's fine.He was just acting coquettishly, unexpectedly being misunderstood by Li Jia, he quickly explained "No." Seeing a trace of imperceptible disappointment on Li Jia's face, he felt that his words were as straightforward as rejection, so he quickly explained, "I want to hug you , but not now." The more he said, the more something went wrong, and Perrin was very annoyed, they hadn't had this kind of communication barrier before, how could it suddenly become like this, no matter what they said, it was inappropriate.

Li Jia was also a little puzzled. Did he ask too bluntly? Palin was eager to explain. He looked at Palin seriously and said, "I don't mind what you do. I'm serious."

"I know."

Li Jia was relieved, "That's good." After thinking about it, he smiled and asked, "Are you sure you don't want it? Then I'll go back."

Different from the ridicule and jokes when he was young, Palin felt that there was something wrong with him, and there was nothing wrong with Li Jia if he looked closely. As he said, "I really love you, I don't mind what you do." That's it. It was the humble attitude that made Palin feel so sad.

He forgave Li Jia, but Li Jia did not forgive himself.

Palin was distressed and desperately found that Li Jia seemed to have returned to the past, and he was the only one who followed the lead in everything. Everything was based on Palin, not giving up on himself, but not having himself.Palin believes that Li Jia loves him, and believes in his determination, but this one-way love, which only inputs without expecting anything in return, always makes people feel pain in their hearts.

Human self-blame always jumps out at this time to torment Li Jia, and Perrin feels that even if he is making trouble for no reason, like Sonia, who is both a loser and a loser, he will bear it with a smile and an attitude of appreciation.It's a pity that that's not Li Jia's style, Li Jia will only torture himself.

Palin was so upset that he hugged Li Jia in his arms distressedly, "Li Jia, I don't want you to wrong yourself because of me. I don't want you to wrong yourself either." Li Jia hugged Palin back, biting tightly. lip.

Li Jia no longer knew how to get along with Palin. Li Jia vaguely understood Palin's meaning. The experiences and tribulations in life would really leave traces, not to mention that conceit and pride had never been something he had.Mustering up the courage to go to Palin and accepting whatever the outcome is, this is already the strongest decision he has ever made in his life, but will the already fragile relationship between them just disappear like this?

Li Jia's sorrow was day after day, and when Palin realized that their relationship was in desperate need of improvement, it was a weekend night.There was an urgent matter at the headquarters that required him to return quickly. Palin told Li Jia, "Wait for me, I will definitely be back." Then he hurried and finally came back at the time he promised, and ate the dessert specially prepared by Li Jia. Li took out Tisumila, the surprise on his face was obvious, "Palin, don't work so hard." Having said that, Palin vaguely felt that Li Jia's original plan was that he would not come back.Palin felt that some words must be explained to Li Jia, and some actions must be expressed to make that man give up.

Jiang Jiang lay lazily resting under the parasol in front of the cabin, while Songsong was reading his 3D book on another recliner, Jiang Jiang curled his lips, "You still read that when you're too old, you're an immature child What's the use of repeating the plot, it doesn't help to improve IQ at all, it will make you more and more stupid." Songsong is full of emotion and is brewing emotions. He wants to cry along with the plot, and his hand has already reached Beside the tissue box, upon hearing this, he looked up in disbelief at the little brother opposite. The little brother was too lazy to see him, so he put a towel on his face and pretended to be asleep in annoyance.

In the distance, Li Jia and Palin were walking on the beach, talking and walking, stopping from time to time to pick up a shell or two.Li Jia was very surprised. There were many travelers who came by plane together, and there were also tourists who came with the group, but this Long Beach was very desolate and clean.The two surrounded the island for half a circle before Li Jia realized that in the middle of nowhere, there were crowds of tourists on the isolation zone not far away, and Perrin reserved half of the island for them to relax.

"I originally wanted to rent one, because our company has a share here. Considering the previous agreement with the tour group, doing so will cause gossip, so I have wronged you." Li Jia looked at Palin intently, and the sea water hit him Hit on the foot, Palin threw a stone on the sea, "Let it take everything away." Li Jia choked up, "Palin, don't do this, blame me, I don't mind if you blame me .”

Palin looked at Li Jia seriously, "Li Jia, I don't blame you anymore, not at all, I only love you."

In the dark night, the lights on the beach are surrounded by a circle. One of the two children is running like learning to fly, and the other is sitting there quietly looking at the starry sky. The sound of beating the rocks, Li Jia weeping silently, he never thought that he would have good luck, but everything was very different when he met Palin, if all the luck in his life was used up, he would be willing to exchange for the current Palin.
