full of love for you
Chapter 61 End
It was half a month after Xiaoman saw Zhong Ze again. He didn't expect it to be so long. Before Wang Hui said that he was on a business trip for a week. When he saw Zhong Ze again, he lost a lot of weight, his eye sockets were sunken, he was unshaven, and he was in a trance Xiaoman just wanted to ask him, but he dragged him into the office.
"Zhong Ze, what happened? Why do you look so bad? Sister Hui said you were on a business trip."
"Xiaoman," Zhong Ze called Xiaoman, and then sighed heavily, "I'm not on a business trip, it's my wife, she won't let me come to work again."
As soon as Xiaoman thought about it, he guessed the situation, "Does my sister-in-law know about you?"
"She knew it. I drank too much at the dinner party that night. After returning home, I lay on the bed and said a lot. She knew it all. She asked me to surrender. She sold all the house and car in the past few days, and the deposit was also lost. I gave it all to me, and she asked me to return the money to Zheng Anning, and she also said that she would rather not have her kidney than her life." After Zhong Ze finished speaking, he put his head in his hands and slumped on the ground, leaning on his back. On the wall, drooping his head, "I also know it's illegal, you know, I grew up in an orphanage, and then my adoptive parents passed away very early, I don't want my wife and my daughter to talk to me again Same, helpless."
Xiaoman also squatted down and patted his shoulder, "Zhong Ze, I know you want your sister-in-law and children to live a better life, but you can't continue doing this. It's just a matter of time before something happens. You really miss sister-in-law Be good to the children, you should listen to your sister-in-law now, and you should find a way to minimize the bad results, so that you are really good for them."
Zhong Ze raised his head, "Xiao Man, you are right, I also know that I came here today to give an explanation to the employees, this matter has nothing to do with the employees of the company, I cannot harm them."
In the meeting room of Longcheng Real Estate the next day, Zheng Anning was taken away at the shareholders' meeting, leaving a group of people who knew what happened and who didn't know what happened.

Xiaoman became unemployed. During this time, he learned a lot of dishes from the recipes. At noon, he would make soup at home, cook some dishes, send them to Li Xiwei's company, and then have dinner with him. As soon as he arrived downstairs at Li Xiwei's company, he ran into Yuan Huai and Yu Kaize. They should have just returned, and Yuan Huai was still dragging his suitcase.
Yu Kaize saw him first, and shouted from a distance, "Xiaoman."
Following the voice, Xiaoman saw Yu Kaize and Yuan Huai standing beside him. He walked up to the two of them, "Kaize, Yuan Huai, are you back?"
The three of them walked forward while talking, Yu Kaize took two quick steps, and stood side by side with Xiaoman, "Yeah, I'm going to start school soon, so I'm coming back."
"How are things going in the village?"
"The project has been approved and designed, just waiting for the construction. The children will have a new classroom soon. I have read the design drawings. There is also a playground, a basketball court, and a classroom. library."
"Great."
Yuan Huai was originally behind them, but after the three of them got into the elevator, they leaned behind Yu Kaize calmly and said, "Mr. Li has been following up on this project, otherwise the approval won't be so fast, and he also asked for the design. People who are acquainted with each other, so the progress is much faster than expected."
Yu Kaize felt the vibration in the chest of the person behind him, and leaned towards Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, do you have anything to do later? Let's go have dinner together."
"I'm with you." Yuan Huai said.
"I'm going to eat with Xiaoman, what are you going to do?" Yu Kaize frowned, "Didn't you just say that you have work to report? Don't you want to be busy?"
"I have to eat when I'm busy."
Xiao Man sensed that the atmosphere between the two was not normal, and asked in a low voice, "Kai Ze, did you quarrel with Yuan Zhu?"
"No noise."
"It's noisy."
Two voices sounded at the same time, Yu Kaize turned his head and stared at Yuan Huai, "We don't call that a quarrel!"
"What's that called?" Yuan Huai asked.
"That's called..." Yu Kaize was at a loss for words for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he said again: "We, forget it, just quarrel if you want to, I don't want to argue with you."
"Well, we did not quarrel." Yuan Huai compromised.
The elevator door opened, Yu Kaize took Xiaoman's arm and walked out directly, Xiaoman was still asking: "Why do I feel that the two of you are a little different from before."
Yu Kaize stammered, eyes dodged, "Yes, yes?"
"Yes," Xiao Man said in a low voice, "I think Yuan Huai's eyes on you are not quite right."
"Why isn't it right?" Yu Kaize couldn't help turning around, glanced at Yuan Huai who was a few steps behind him, and quickly turned back, "Xiao Man, you think too much, we are just ordinary friends."
"Yes, it's not the eyes of ordinary friends." Xiaoman said firmly, "I've been thinking of the right words just now, the way Yuan Huai looked at you, as if looking at you, pet."
Yu Kaize: "..."
Yuan Huai behind him: "..."
After returning home at night, Xiaoman told Li Xiwei about this, and Li Xiwei pinched the base of his nose: "Xiaoman, what do you think, Yu Kaize became Yuan Huai's pet, and Yu Kaize and Yuan Huai became a couple? One is a little more in line with the actual situation."
Xiaoman: "...How is it possible? Yu Kaize said before that he had a girlfriend before, and he was straight."
"As soon as they entered my office in the afternoon, I could tell at a glance that Yuan Huai had been with me for three years. His personality was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Only people who cared about themselves would show that kind of soft expression, and he saw it today. Yu Kaize all afternoon."
"But..." Xiaoman still didn't believe it, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that what Li Xiwei said should be true. Yuan Huai had been in the village for so long, getting along day and night, and the possibility of being together was really high. : "This is also very good."
On the weekend, Li Xiwei went to Qingshan Prison in Nancheng, where Li Pei was serving his sentence.
"Xi Wei, is your leg okay?" Through the glass window, Li Xiwei heard Li Pei's voice through the receiver. It was no longer deep and severe, only vicissitudes remained. For the two of them, Li Xiwei hadn't seen Li Pei for three years, and the depression that had accumulated in his heart for many years dissipated for no reason.
"Okay." Li Xiwei said.
"It's fine, grandpa, is your grandpa okay?" Li Pei asked.
"Grandpa is fine," Li Xiwei said, "Dad, I remember everything from the past."
Li Pei's face paled for a moment behind the glass window, and the voice from the receiver trembled, "Xi Wei, do you still remember?"
"Yes, I remembered everything, including how my mother died. At first, my mother did have the idea of suicide, but she has given up. In the end, she just wanted to divorce you, but you threatened me and grandpa. She, in the end, her disease will relapse and she will commit suicide."
"I'm sorry, Xiaowei. At that time, I thought your mother was just trying to scare me. I didn't expect that she was so seriously ill."
"You don't have to tell me you're sorry. You've never put your mind on my mother. Of course you can't tell that the person you're most sorry for is my mother." Speaking of his mother, Li Xiwei was still a little agitated, with veins on the side of his neck. agitated.
"In the end, you joined forces with lawyers to tamper with the will that my mother had made long ago. What you don't want me to remember is actually more about the will."
"Xi Wei, I'm sorry for your mother, and I'm sorry for you."
Behind the glass window, Li Pei's back was bent, like an old man in his twilight years. He lowered his head and remained silent for a while. Finally, he casually said something else to Li Xiwei, and reminded him to pay attention to his leg injury.
The conversation still turned to Xiao Man, "The one you met when you were young, that dumb..."
When he said this, he paused, and changed his words: "Where is the one named Xiao Man?"
Li Xiwei had expected that Li Pei would ask Xiao Man, so he answered simply and firmly, "He is with me now, and he will be with me in the future."
When Li Xiwei said that he remembered what happened before, Li Pei already had guesses in his heart, so he didn't say anything, just nodded, "I know, in fact, I was the one who asked people to report that small hotel back then. Their family moved away. I thought they would take Xiaoman away, but they didn't. In the end, I asked Zheng Lan to take him to the orphanage. Since you are already together, let's stay together Come on, don't let your mother down like your father."
"I will not be like you, I will not let him down, I will be very good with Xiaoman."
In the end, Li Xiwei said through the receiver that he had recharged Li Pei's consumer card in the prison, and told him to take care of his health. When the time came, he also hung up the phone.
Li Xiwei left the meeting room, and Xiaoman was waiting for him outside. Seeing him coming out in a depressed mood, he could probably guess in his heart what Li Xiwei would say to his father, but Xiaoman didn't ask, and just walked up to Li Xiwei, He said softly: "Xi Wei, just now I saw on my website that the maple leaves in Puring Mountain are turning red. I want to see it. You can go with me."
Li Xiwei took Xiaoman's hand, "It takes about two hours to drive from here to Mount Puring, and we can just watch the sunset. At night we will live directly in my old house."
"Okay, are you tired? If you are tired, let me drive."
"When did you learn to drive?" Li Xiwei was a little surprised, he had never seen Xiao Man driving before, "What else do you know that I don't know?"
"I learned it three years ago. At that time, I worked as a part-time job. The requirement was to be able to drive. Because I had to deliver goods occasionally, I went to a driving school to learn. The driving instructor was really fierce. He even beat people. It’s a very long ruler, and it’s a success if you reverse the car into the garage, but as long as it’s not within his requirements, he’ll slap the palm of your hand.”
"Has the coach ever hit your palm?" Li Xiwei scratched Xiaoman's palm with his fingers, "What coach, I want to complain about him, but I'm not willing to hit you."
The corners of Xiaoman's lips curled up, "He never beat me, because I practiced the best."
"Really?"
"real!"
"Then you will drive later."
under
"Put on the brake lightly, the road ahead is uneven." Li Xiwei sat in the driver's seat, leaning sideways to the driver's seat, watching Xiaoman clenched the steering wheel with both hands, and glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time, with a nervous expression. He regretted letting Xiaoman drive, Fortunately, all the way is in the suburbs, and there are few cars on the road.
"Turn the steering wheel a little bit to the right. There is a car coming in front of you. It will meet later." Li Xiwei kept directing from the side.
Seeing the pickup truck on the opposite side, Xiaoman slowed down, kept to the right, and waited until the opposite car passed by, Xiaoman let out a deep breath, "Fortunately, I thought he was going to scratch me, the car just now was very wide. "
When meeting the car just now, Xiaoman was almost parked on the side of the road, and the distance between the two cars was obviously very large, Li Xiwei asked: "Xiaoman, are you sure your coach didn't beat you at that time, it was because you practiced the best, not because of you Does it look good?"
Xiaoman blushed immediately when Li Xiwei said it, "Of course it's because I practice best, Li Xiwei, I'm driving and need to concentrate, don't interrupt me."
Li Xiwei coughed lightly and suppressed a smile, "Alright, alright, concentrate on driving, I won't bother you anymore."
"This is the reason why I haven't driven for a long time. When I was a part-time job, I went on the road several times. Moreover, when I took the driver's license test, I got full marks in subject two and subject three."
After Xiaoman finished speaking, he wanted to wait for Li Xiwei to say something, or to praise him, but after a few seconds, the co-driver still didn't respond, Xiaoman glanced at Li Xiwei from the corner of his eye, "Don't say anything, you Show me the way."
Li Xiwei looked at Xiaoman's tight jawline, and couldn't help laughing, "Why didn't I realize that you sometimes are unreasonable."
"How can I be unreasonable, driving is really not easy, it is very hard."
If it wasn't for Xiaoman driving, Li Xiwei really wanted to hug him in his arms, he looked forward, "We Xiaoman is working hard, I'll help you look at the road, after you pass the stone bridge ahead, you stop by the roadside, Let's switch, and I'll drive."
"Actually, I'm okay. There are few people on the road. If there are too many people, you can drive." Xiaoman whispered bravely.
We are driving on a section of rural road, the road is winding, the road surface is not smooth, and the road is full of potholes, but the scenery on both sides of the road is extremely beautiful. The continuous golden rice fields are constantly receding, and they seem to remain unchanged. The leaves of the sycamore trees on both sides of the road are It turned yellow, and as soon as the wind passed, the sycamore leaves swirled and fell. Li Xiwei said, "The scenery outside is beautiful. I've seen it, so I'll open it later, you see."
Xiaoman held the steering wheel and carefully looked out the window, "It's really beautiful, I didn't notice it just now."
After he finished speaking, he lowered the car window a little, and the cool autumn wind blew into the car, brushing against his cheeks, Xiaoman crossed the stone bridge, did not continue to drive forward, and found a spacious place where he could park his car. Braking, "I haven't seen the maple leaves at night, we don't need to worry, the scenery here is not bad, let's take a look here for a while."
Li Xiwei agreed. After the two got off the car, they sat directly on the dirt road steps by the side of the road. Xiaoman looked up at the sky above him. It was very high and blue, with only a few clouds blown by the wind. He said: " When we were young, my sister and I would sometimes goof off in the fields, lie on the piles of wheat fields, bury ourselves, leave a small hole in the top, and count the clouds passing by in the sky.”
"It must be fun."
"Well, it's very fun." After looking up for a long time, Xiaoman felt a pain in his neck. Li Xiwei raised his hand and rubbed his neck. I didn't ask why I couldn't speak once, but you already know it."
Li Xiwei didn't deny it, but nodded, "Well, I remember what happened when I was a child, and I knew it back then."
Xiaoman didn't shy away from the past, "I didn't know at that time, I thought you didn't know, Sun Xiaowei said at that time that I was the son of a murderer, I was afraid, I was afraid you would know, and then you would leave the small hotel , I'm a little lucky that you didn't ask me later."
Xiaoman was quiet for a while, as if remembering, and finally said softly: "My mother is a very gentle person. I was playing outside that day. After returning home, she made me my favorite hand-rolled egg noodles. I ate them. There were several bowls, but after I finished eating, I found that my mother’s eyes were very red. I asked her what’s wrong? She didn’t say anything, she just cried and touched my face. I wanted to wipe her tears, but I suddenly couldn’t lift up After that, I suddenly felt very sleepy and my whole body was sore and limp. When I woke up, I couldn’t move except for opening my eyes. In fact, my mother put sleeping pills in my face that day. She wanted to take me with me, but In the end, she couldn't bear it."
"it's already over."
"Well, it's all over, I can still count the clouds with my head up, and my sister is fine too."
"Then how am I?"
Xiaoman put his palms on the ground, stood up, patted the dirt on his pants, and stretched out his hand, "You're the best, okay."
"Of course I'm the best." Li Xiwei held Xiao Man's hand and stood up, "I'm fully satisfied with you."
In the end, they still didn't regard it as a maple leaf, and went straight back to Li Xiwei's old house. The house was cleaned regularly and they could live in it directly. Li Xiwei took Xiaoman to his room.From the room on the second floor, you can directly see the garden outside. There is only an open space in the garden, and there is nothing there. Xiao Man asked, "Is the garden empty?"
"Do you have any flowers you want to plant?"
Xiao Man thought for a while, "The tattoos on your body are pretty, so let's plant roses."
In the evening, Xiaoman was tossed by Li Xiwei all night again, and finally Xiaoman lay on the bed in a daze, Li Xiwei lay beside his ear, "Xiaoman, come with me to a reception tomorrow night, I received the invitation last week, I forgot I told you."
Xiaoman only heard the buzzing voices in his ears, but didn't hear what Li Xiwei said, so he vaguely responded. When he walked into the gate of the villa where the reception was held, wearing a formal dress and holding Li Xiwei's arm the next day, his expression changed Well, this is exactly the place where he and Li Xiwei had the reception three years ago. It's a holiday villa on the top of a mountain, and even the decorations in the courtyard haven't changed.
Li Xiwei sensed the subtle changes in the emotions of the people around him, and asked, "Xiao Man, do you still mind that you drank the drugged wine three years ago?"
Of course Xiaoman cared, but thinking about it now still gives a chill down his spine. If the person that night wasn't Li Xiwei, then he doesn't know what the consequences would be.
Li Xiwei shook his hand vigorously, "The problematic wine that night was not the last glass you drank, but the glass of Zheng Anning's that you drank before that. It's because I didn't drink much, so the time interval between attacks is a bit long, just after the cup I gave you."
After he finished speaking, he continued, "Xiao Man, don't worry, there won't be Zheng Anning tonight, and I will always be by your side."
Li Xiwei did what he said, throughout the reception, no matter where Li Xiwei went, he held Xiaoman's hand tightly. Even if someone approached Li Xiwei to talk about business, he didn't let Xiaoman back away. Although the others were curious, they didn't dare to ask in person. He only sneaked a few glances at Xiaoman from time to time, and the voice of discussion was different from three years ago. Although he was still curious, he could no longer hear those doubts and ridicule.
At the end of the reception, Xiao Man thought it was the driver who had brought them when he came, but Li Xiwei got into the driver's seat directly and let him get into the co-pilot.
Li Xiwei started the car and said, "Xiao Man, I'll take you somewhere."
Xiaoman didn't ask where he was going, but he vaguely recalled something in his heart. Li Xiwei drove around the villa, and finally stopped at an empty viewing platform on the top of the mountain, because it was night and no one was there.
"Xi Wei, what did you bring me here for?"
"You'll find out later."
Just in time, Li Xiwei's phone rang, and he picked it up. It was Fang Zheng, "Xi Wei, don't let me freeze outside all night like I did three years ago this time. Are you here? Is Xiaoman by your side?"
"Yes," Li Xiwei said into the microphone, "We have arrived at the viewing platform, you can let it go, you count three two one."
The wind on the top of the mountain was a bit strong, Xiaoman naturally couldn't hear Fang Zheng's words, and Fang Zheng was counting down to Li Xiwei on the phone, "Three."
Li Xiwei held Xiao Man's hand, held the phone by his ear with his left hand, put his arm around Xiao Man's shoulder with his right hand, and finally bent down and lowered his head, leaning into Xiao Man's ear, and repeated Fang Zheng's words to him, "Three."
"two."
"two."
"one."
"One, Xiao Man, look up and look up."
Xiaoman held his breath, the viewing platform on the top of the mountain was very high, he could see most of the southern city, and there were thousands of lights under the mountain, following Li Xiwei's words, Xiaoman raised his head, and there was a bang in the distant sky, breaking the sound of the wind and In the emptiness of the night, above the night sky, a large bunch of fireworks appeared in front of Xiaoman's eyes. A cluster of colorful fireworks exploded from a point in the middle, and finally covered the entire night sky. After that, one bunch after another, the scattered fireworks rained in Xiaoman's eyes all the time. Floating in and out, turning off and on again, flickering dots of light.
"Xiaoman, in fact, three years ago, the night I brought you to the reception, I prepared this fireworks. This is the best viewing platform. I prepared for a long time that time, but you didn't see it in the end."
"I see it now, although it's a bit late." After Xiaoman finished speaking, he finally changed his words, "Actually, it's never too late."
Li Xiwei said: "But I still think it's late. Sometimes I think, if we had met later when we were young, and if we had been older, maybe we would have been together a long time ago."
Xiaoman looked at Li Xiwei's profile under the fireworks, "We are fine now, let me ask you, do you still want to elope with me now?"
Another bunch of fireworks exploded above their heads, Li Xiwei looked back at Xiaoman, "I think about it, I will always think about it."

"Zhong Ze, what happened? Why do you look so bad? Sister Hui said you were on a business trip."

In the end, Li Xiwei said through the receiver that he had recharged Li Pei's consumer card in the prison, and told him to take care of his health. When the time came, he also hung up the phone.
Li Xiwei left the meeting room, and Xiaoman was waiting for him outside. Seeing him coming out in a depressed mood, he could probably guess in his heart what Li Xiwei would say to his father, but Xiaoman didn't ask, and just walked up to Li Xiwei, He said softly: "Xi Wei, just now I saw on my website that the maple leaves in Puring Mountain are turning red. I want to see it. You can go with me."
Li Xiwei took Xiaoman's hand, "It takes about two hours to drive from here to Mount Puring, and we can just watch the sunset. At night we will live directly in my old house."
"Okay, are you tired? If you are tired, let me drive."
"When did you learn to drive?" Li Xiwei was a little surprised, he had never seen Xiao Man driving before, "What else do you know that I don't know?"
"I learned it three years ago. At that time, I worked as a part-time job. The requirement was to be able to drive. Because I had to deliver goods occasionally, I went to a driving school to learn. The driving instructor was really fierce. He even beat people. It’s a very long ruler, and it’s a success if you reverse the car into the garage, but as long as it’s not within his requirements, he’ll slap the palm of your hand.”
"Has the coach ever hit your palm?" Li Xiwei scratched Xiaoman's palm with his fingers, "What coach, I want to complain about him, but I'm not willing to hit you."
The corners of Xiaoman's lips curled up, "He never beat me, because I practiced the best."
"Really?"
"real!"
"Then you will drive later."
under
"Put on the brake lightly, the road ahead is uneven." Li Xiwei sat in the driver's seat, leaning sideways to the driver's seat, watching Xiaoman clenched the steering wheel with both hands, and glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time, with a nervous expression. He regretted letting Xiaoman drive, Fortunately, all the way is in the suburbs, and there are few cars on the road.
"Turn the steering wheel a little bit to the right. There is a car coming in front of you. It will meet later." Li Xiwei kept directing from the side.
Seeing the pickup truck on the opposite side, Xiaoman slowed down, kept to the right, and waited until the opposite car passed by, Xiaoman let out a deep breath, "Fortunately, I thought he was going to scratch me, the car just now was very wide. "
When meeting the car just now, Xiaoman was almost parked on the side of the road, and the distance between the two cars was obviously very large, Li Xiwei asked: "Xiaoman, are you sure your coach didn't beat you at that time, it was because you practiced the best, not because of you Does it look good?"
Xiaoman blushed immediately when Li Xiwei said it, "Of course it's because I practice best, Li Xiwei, I'm driving and need to concentrate, don't interrupt me."
Li Xiwei coughed lightly and suppressed a smile, "Alright, alright, concentrate on driving, I won't bother you anymore."
"This is the reason why I haven't driven for a long time. When I was a part-time job, I went on the road several times. Moreover, when I took the driver's license test, I got full marks in subject two and subject three."
After Xiaoman finished speaking, he wanted to wait for Li Xiwei to say something, or to praise him, but after a few seconds, the co-driver still didn't respond, Xiaoman glanced at Li Xiwei from the corner of his eye, "Don't say anything, you Show me the way."
Li Xiwei looked at Xiaoman's tight jawline, and couldn't help laughing, "Why didn't I realize that you sometimes are unreasonable."
"How can I be unreasonable, driving is really not easy, it is very hard."
If it wasn't for Xiaoman driving, Li Xiwei really wanted to hug him in his arms, he looked forward, "We Xiaoman is working hard, I'll help you look at the road, after you pass the stone bridge ahead, you stop by the roadside, Let's switch, and I'll drive."
"Actually, I'm okay. There are few people on the road. If there are too many people, you can drive." Xiaoman whispered bravely.
We are driving on a section of rural road, the road is winding, the road surface is not smooth, and the road is full of potholes, but the scenery on both sides of the road is extremely beautiful. The continuous golden rice fields are constantly receding, and they seem to remain unchanged. The leaves of the sycamore trees on both sides of the road are It turned yellow, and as soon as the wind passed, the sycamore leaves swirled and fell. Li Xiwei said, "The scenery outside is beautiful. I've seen it, so I'll open it later, you see."
Xiaoman held the steering wheel and carefully looked out the window, "It's really beautiful, I didn't notice it just now."
After he finished speaking, he lowered the car window a little, and the cool autumn wind blew into the car, brushing against his cheeks, Xiaoman crossed the stone bridge, did not continue to drive forward, and found a spacious place where he could park his car. Braking, "I haven't seen the maple leaves at night, we don't need to worry, the scenery here is not bad, let's take a look here for a while."
Li Xiwei agreed. After the two got off the car, they sat directly on the dirt road steps by the side of the road. Xiaoman looked up at the sky above him. It was very high and blue, with only a few clouds blown by the wind. He said: " When we were young, my sister and I would sometimes goof off in the fields, lie on the piles of wheat fields, bury ourselves, leave a small hole in the top, and count the clouds passing by in the sky.”
"It must be fun."
"Well, it's very fun." After looking up for a long time, Xiaoman felt a pain in his neck. Li Xiwei raised his hand and rubbed his neck. I didn't ask why I couldn't speak once, but you already know it."
Li Xiwei didn't deny it, but nodded, "Well, I remember what happened when I was a child, and I knew it back then."
Xiaoman didn't shy away from the past, "I didn't know at that time, I thought you didn't know, Sun Xiaowei said at that time that I was the son of a murderer, I was afraid, I was afraid you would know, and then you would leave the small hotel , I'm a little lucky that you didn't ask me later."
Xiaoman was quiet for a while, as if remembering, and finally said softly: "My mother is a very gentle person. I was playing outside that day. After returning home, she made me my favorite hand-rolled egg noodles. I ate them. There were several bowls, but after I finished eating, I found that my mother’s eyes were very red. I asked her what’s wrong? She didn’t say anything, she just cried and touched my face. I wanted to wipe her tears, but I suddenly couldn’t lift up After that, I suddenly felt very sleepy and my whole body was sore and limp. When I woke up, I couldn’t move except for opening my eyes. In fact, my mother put sleeping pills in my face that day. She wanted to take me with me, but In the end, she couldn't bear it."
"it's already over."
"Well, it's all over, I can still count the clouds with my head up, and my sister is fine too."
"Then how am I?"
Xiaoman put his palms on the ground, stood up, patted the dirt on his pants, and stretched out his hand, "You're the best, okay."
"Of course I'm the best." Li Xiwei held Xiao Man's hand and stood up, "I'm fully satisfied with you."
In the end, they still didn't regard it as a maple leaf, and went straight back to Li Xiwei's old house. The house was cleaned regularly and they could live in it directly. Li Xiwei took Xiaoman to his room.From the room on the second floor, you can directly see the garden outside. There is only an open space in the garden, and there is nothing there. Xiao Man asked, "Is the garden empty?"
"Do you have any flowers you want to plant?"
Xiao Man thought for a while, "The tattoos on your body are pretty, so let's plant roses."
In the evening, Xiaoman was tossed by Li Xiwei all night again, and finally Xiaoman lay on the bed in a daze, Li Xiwei lay beside his ear, "Xiaoman, come with me to a reception tomorrow night, I received the invitation last week, I forgot I told you."
Xiaoman only heard the buzzing voices in his ears, but didn't hear what Li Xiwei said, so he vaguely responded. When he walked into the gate of the villa where the reception was held, wearing a formal dress and holding Li Xiwei's arm the next day, his expression changed Well, this is exactly the place where he and Li Xiwei had the reception three years ago. It's a holiday villa on the top of a mountain, and even the decorations in the courtyard haven't changed.
Li Xiwei sensed the subtle changes in the emotions of the people around him, and asked, "Xiao Man, do you still mind that you drank the drugged wine three years ago?"
Of course Xiaoman cared, but thinking about it now still gives a chill down his spine. If the person that night wasn't Li Xiwei, then he doesn't know what the consequences would be.
Li Xiwei shook his hand vigorously, "The problematic wine that night was not the last glass you drank, but the glass of Zheng Anning's that you drank before that. It's because I didn't drink much, so the time interval between attacks is a bit long, just after the cup I gave you."
After he finished speaking, he continued, "Xiao Man, don't worry, there won't be Zheng Anning tonight, and I will always be by your side."
Li Xiwei did what he said, throughout the reception, no matter where Li Xiwei went, he held Xiaoman's hand tightly. Even if someone approached Li Xiwei to talk about business, he didn't let Xiaoman back away. Although the others were curious, they didn't dare to ask in person. He only sneaked a few glances at Xiaoman from time to time, and the voice of discussion was different from three years ago. Although he was still curious, he could no longer hear those doubts and ridicule.
At the end of the reception, Xiao Man thought it was the driver who had brought them when he came, but Li Xiwei got into the driver's seat directly and let him get into the co-pilot.
Li Xiwei started the car and said, "Xiao Man, I'll take you somewhere."
Xiaoman didn't ask where he was going, but he vaguely recalled something in his heart. Li Xiwei drove around the villa, and finally stopped at an empty viewing platform on the top of the mountain, because it was night and no one was there.
"Xi Wei, what did you bring me here for?"
"You'll find out later."
Just in time, Li Xiwei's phone rang, and he picked it up. It was Fang Zheng, "Xi Wei, don't let me freeze outside all night like I did three years ago this time. Are you here? Is Xiaoman by your side?"
"Yes," Li Xiwei said into the microphone, "We have arrived at the viewing platform, you can let it go, you count three two one."
The wind on the top of the mountain was a bit strong, Xiaoman naturally couldn't hear Fang Zheng's words, and Fang Zheng was counting down to Li Xiwei on the phone, "Three."
Li Xiwei held Xiao Man's hand, held the phone by his ear with his left hand, put his arm around Xiao Man's shoulder with his right hand, and finally bent down and lowered his head, leaning into Xiao Man's ear, and repeated Fang Zheng's words to him, "Three."
"two."
"two."
"one."
"One, Xiao Man, look up and look up."
Xiaoman held his breath, the viewing platform on the top of the mountain was very high, he could see most of the southern city, and there were thousands of lights under the mountain, following Li Xiwei's words, Xiaoman raised his head, and there was a bang in the distant sky, breaking the sound of the wind and In the emptiness of the night, above the night sky, a large bunch of fireworks appeared in front of Xiaoman's eyes. A cluster of colorful fireworks exploded from a point in the middle, and finally covered the entire night sky. After that, one bunch after another, the scattered fireworks rained in Xiaoman's eyes all the time. Floating in and out, turning off and on again, flickering dots of light.
"Xiaoman, in fact, three years ago, the night I brought you to the reception, I prepared this fireworks. This is the best viewing platform. I prepared for a long time that time, but you didn't see it in the end."
"I see it now, although it's a bit late." After Xiaoman finished speaking, he finally changed his words, "Actually, it's never too late."
Li Xiwei said: "But I still think it's late. Sometimes I think, if we had met later when we were young, and if we had been older, maybe we would have been together a long time ago."
Xiaoman looked at Li Xiwei's profile under the fireworks, "We are fine now, let me ask you, do you still want to elope with me now?"
Another bunch of fireworks exploded above their heads, Li Xiwei looked back at Xiaoman, "I think about it, I will always think about it."
