Cross the sea

Chapter 14

Pressing pause when more than half of the movie was left, He Zhen took out his laptop and asked Li Chengyun if he wanted to finish watching the rest.

"let's talk tomorrow."

Li Chengyun leaned against the bathroom door and wiped his hair. He looked up at Hezhen holding a laptop as if hesitating. Li Chengyun lay on the bed, looked at Hezhen and said, "Aren't you going to take a bath?"

He Zhen turned to look at him, and Li Chengyun put his hands behind his head: "You smell."

Cracks appeared in the motionless expression, He Zhen blinked faster, Li Chengyun decided to pursue the victory, and added: "It doesn't smell very good."

He Zhen's expression became stiff, he put the computer aside, turned and walked into the bathroom, lowered his head slightly and sniffed his collar before closing the door, paused for a few seconds, and walked back to Li Chengyun's bedside.

"It should be the smell of the cafeteria. The cafeteria made fried chicken today, and the smell is relatively strong. I may be sitting closer to the kitchen—" "He Zhen."

Li Chengyun interrupted without hesitation. He sat up from the bed, tilted his head slightly and smiled at Hezhen, "I just said casually, why are you nervous?"

He Zhen said nothing in a low voice, then turned and walked into the bathroom, soon Li Chengyun heard the sound of running water, white mist came out from the crack of the door, and quickly disappeared into the bright light.

Li Chengyun took out the mobile phone under the pillow to check the information that he didn't have time to read today.

The private detective he found was very efficient, and he would send his father's recent itinerary every few days. Li Xiangting didn't lie, it was indeed as he told him, and he had meetings in other cities these few days.

Li Chengyun pulled the message to the end, it was a reminder message with a fairly good attitude, asking him when he could settle this month's money, Li Chengyun paused for a while, and typed two words on the keyboard: as soon as possible.

The door of the bathroom clicked, I don't know how much hot water He Zhen used, white mist poured in like a tsunami, and He Zhen stood in the middle of the white cloud.

The fog cleared away quickly, Li Chengyun looked away from the phone screen, and landed on He Zhen who was wearing white home clothes.

"come over."

Li Chengyun still maintained the posture just now, He Zhen was stunned, and walked towards him.

He Zhen's hair was very wet, and the water dripping from the ends of his hair quickly wet his shoulders, and the skin on his collarbone and chest was slightly reddened by the high water temperature.

The screen of his mobile phone is still on, as long as He Zhen glances at it, he can see the content on it.

But Hezhen just looked down at him, as if as long as he didn't tell him to let him go, he would stay here for the rest of his life.

"I told you to come here and you come here."

Li Chengyun looked up at He Zhen, who pursed his lips uncomfortably. He stood under the air conditioner, his clothes trembling in the wind.

Li Chengyun bent his eyes and said to He Zhen in a gentle tone, "You are really obedient."

The next day Li Chengyun had no class, so he called an online car-hailing car to go home to pick up the dry cleaning, and He Zhen called him when he was about to leave.

He Zhen was still sitting on the bed, the turned on computer screen covered the lower half of his face, only revealing a pair of very dark eyes.

"Do you want to watch the rest of the movie together tonight?"

Perhaps because he was afraid of being rejected, Hezhen paused and added: "The sooner you read it, the sooner you can start writing."

Li Chengyun nodded, said hello, then opened the door and walked out.

The car was already waiting at the school gate, and Li Chengyun smelled a strong smell of smoke just as he got into the car.

The driver looked at him from the rearview mirror, but happened to collide with Li Chengyun's cold gaze, the driver smiled a little embarrassedly, touched his nose and said: "The last passenger smoked two cigarettes and opened the window for a while. "

Li Chengyun opened the car window, turned his head and said it was okay.

The car drove into the tunnel, and the pop songs being played on the radio were intermittent. The driver was a little irritable, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and turned the volume of the radio to the lowest level with the other hand.

One second before the car rushed out of the tunnel, the floor lamps on both sides of the tunnel flashed by. Li Chengyun subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, only the white-capped sea and bougainvillea were left in his sight.

After more than 20 minutes, Li Chengyun arrived at home. Before entering his fingerprints on the door, he glanced at the black commercial vehicle parked at the garage door.

The door clicked open, but there were many more people in the room than he had imagined, a man in gray overalls squatting in front of him rolling a rug.

"Is there no class today?"

Li Chengyun raised his head in response, Zhen Wei was wearing a black dress, and a goblet filled with red wine was placed on the railing.

Li Chengyun shook his head, Zhen Wei took the wine glass and walked down the stairs, Li Chengyun realized that Zhen Wei was not wearing slippers.

"Didn't you see my newly permed hair?"

Zhen Wei sat on the sofa, brushing the ends of her chestnut hair with her left hand, "Doesn't it look good?"

"nice."

"Praise first next time."

Zhen Wei took a sip of the red wine, shook her head and smiled while taking a cigarette from her bag: "It's really as boring as Li Xiangting."

The slender white cigarette was held between her fingers, and Zhen Wei took a big puff, the sparks were scarlet, and the blue smoke passed through the fingers and scattered in the air.

Li Chengyun didn't answer, he looked at the half-rolled wool carpet, paused for a while before smiling and said: "Didn't you say that this carpet is the best thing in this house?"

"Yes."

Zhen Wei's eyes were blinded by the smoke that floated up, she half-closed her eyes, and a smile rose from the corner of her mouth, "So I want to take it away."

The wind chime that had been tied to the arched window sill was taken off and made a tinkling sound. Zhen Wei looked at Li Chengyun who was silent, took another puff of cigarette, then sat up straighter, threw the cigarette butt into the wine glass, Li Chengyun Hear the wail of Mars before disappearing into the wine.

"It seems your father didn't tell you."

Zhen Wei shook the wine glass until the white cigarette was swallowed up by the red wine a little bit, then she put down the glass and looked at Li Chengyun who was sitting opposite again.

"He and I agreed to a divorce.

Two workers came down from upstairs and carried Zhen Wei's vanity mirror in the master bedroom. The two carefully put the mirror into a box wrapped in red flannelette and pasted it with tape.

"When did this happen?"

As soon as Li Chengyun said it, he regretted it. Sure enough, a few seconds later, Zhen Wei, who was sitting opposite, moved closer and smiled at him with her chin propped: "You don't ask the reason, it seems that you knew it earlier than I did."

"Is she pretty?"

Zhen Wei asked him.

A pair of black eyes flashed in Li Chengyun's mind. He didn't carefully distinguish who the owner of the eyes was. He looked at his mother's face without any trace of age, and shook his head: "It's not beautiful."

This answer made Zhen Wei look very proud. She stood up and walked around the sofa twice, humming an unknown tune.

"Madam, do you want to take that painting away?"

The worker pointed to the oil painting family portrait hanging on the wall.

Zhen Wei lowered her head, almost without hesitation: "No, it's so ugly."

Li Chengyun sat on the sofa and suddenly wanted to laugh. Zhen Wei said before that what she loves most at home is the wool carpet, the makeup mirror in the house, and herself.

At first Li Chengyun questioned Zhen Wei's ranking, but now it seems that his biological son is indeed ranked behind the carpet and the makeup mirror.

The phone in his pocket rang, and Li Chengyun glanced at it. It was a message from He Zhen: I have already returned to the dormitory, when will you be back?After reading the last word, a new message popped up in the message box. Li Chengyun clicked on it, and it was still Hezhen. The content of the message seemed to be answering his last question.

He said: You can come back anytime.

When Li Chengyun was about to leave, Zhen Wei was eating the freshly made bird's nest in the small kitchen. The crystal clear bird's nest was placed in a white porcelain cup. Zhen Wei put it down after eating half of it, and looked up at Li Chengyun who stood up.

"Shall I call the driver to take you?"

"Need not."

Li Chengyun glanced at her, smiled and said: "Let the driver drive steadily when you leave, don't smash your babies."

The way back to school seemed to be much longer than when they came here. The driver took a completely different road from the time he came. The road he chose had many traffic lights. They waited for a long time at one of the intersections, next to the most famous Liberty Beach in Haishi.

Li Chengyun turned his head and looked out of the window. A man selling balloons was standing by the ticket window, holding several balloon puppies that He Zhen had bought in his hands.

When the green light came on, Li Chengyun looked away and stopped looking.

After bypassing two T-junctions, the car stopped at the back gate of the school. Not long after Li Chengyun got out of the car, he saw someone not far away waving at him.

"The young master is going home to get his clothes again?"

Shen Linwei approached with a smile and Li Chengyun didn't answer. The two walked forward side by side. Shen Linwei looked at Li Chengyun several times in the middle. When they were about to go downstairs to the dormitory, Shen Linwei suddenly said: "Original gentlemen shouldn't gossip behind people's backs. But I only said it as a friend."

"Do you know why Zhu Yuan changed groups suddenly? It's because Hezhen told her that if she doesn't change groups, she will report her to find a ghostwriter for her previous thesis."

Shen Linwei looked at Li Chengyun with a rare serious tone: "Hezhen is definitely not what we see on the surface. I found out when this guy threw my shoes."

Li Chengyun looked at Shen Linwei casually, "So what does it have to do with me?"

"what?"

Shen Linwei frowned.

"The person he was going to report was not me, and he didn't throw my shoes."

Li Chengyun looked at Shen Linwei and said with a smile, "What are you telling me?"

Shen Linwei froze on the spot and didn't know what to say. He thought that Li Chengyun might not believe what Li Chengyun said to him, but he never thought that Li Chengyun would have such an attitude. He pressed his temple a little irritably, and was about to speak, but found that Li Chengyun slightly Looking up, he looked past him to another location.

"stop looking."

Li Chengyun made a mouth shape.

Shen Linwei followed Li Chengyun's line of sight to look back, and saw He Zhen who was half covered by dark curtains in front of the window on the fourth floor.
