[Comprehensive] Traveling to the world of romance novels

Shang Qinqin replied without hesitation: "Don't you already know the reason?" She was referring to what she said to Xu Congshu today.

Xu Cunzi turned around and stared into her eyes: "You know that's not what I asked."

Shang Qinqin stared back without showing any weakness.

"You don't want my money. I gave you a gift. Although you accepted it and thanked me, you never showed genuine happiness in your eyes." Xu Cunzi pointed to the exquisite piles of unopened gifts piled up in the corner. bags. "I'm getting old, and I'm not as strong as Congshu's young man. I don't believe you will let him go and choose me instead."

Shang Qinqin sighed softly, she never thought that Xu Cunzi, who was always majestic and majestic, would have times of inferiority and jealousy."I don't want your money, I just want your people," she said.

Xu Cunzi looked at her steadfastly, and after a long time, he sighed, "It's getting late, you should go to bed earlier."

After all, he turned and left without looking back.

Shang Qinqin stared blankly at the direction he left, his mind was in chaos.In fact, when Cai Xu Cunzi asked this question just now, she also questioned herself in the depths of her heart: Did you really approach him to complete the system tasks?Don't you have any real heartbeat when you face him being gentle and considerate?

She suddenly found that she couldn't justly say: "Yes, I approached Xu Cunzi just to complete the task, and I don't feel anything about him at all."

Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.

***

The next day, Shang Qinqin was notified that he could be discharged from the hospital.She knew that it was because Xu Congshu already knew about this place, and it was useless for her to hide any longer.

She didn't say anything, and smiled faintly at Secretary Hu who came to pick her up: "Let's go."

Her hands were empty and she took nothing—just like when she first moved in.

She didn't even ask where she was going.Secretary Hu respectfully invited her to get into a black Rolls-Royce. The car started and flowed into the vast sea of ​​cars like flowing water.

In the car, Secretary Hu handed Shang Qinqin an envelope and said, "Miss Shang, Mr. Xu said that you can choose the location here, and you can go wherever you want."

Holding the thin envelope, she thought to herself: What should come still came.

Opening the envelope, it turned out to be several tickets to different places.Shang Qinqin didn't even look at it, he tore everything up, looked at Secretary Hu coldly, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Secretary Hu's face was calm: "Mr. Xu said that Ms. Shang's physical condition is more suitable for going abroad for recuperation."

Shang Qinqin laughed back angrily, what a Xu Cunzi, what a high-sounding excuse.

Secretary Hu said: "This is a matter decided by Mr. Xu, and I am only following orders."

Shang Qinqin didn't intend to embarrass Secretary Hu, she said: "I can go if you want, but I have one condition, I want to see my mother."

Secretary Hu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Xu said that if Ms. Shang wants to see her family, it's fine."

He didn't even think of that.Shang Qinqin didn't know whether to cry or laugh.She took a deep breath and put on a smile: "Then please lead the way."

The driver steadily parked the Rolls-Royce under a very old building, Shang Qinqin looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, and felt a little bit of reluctance in his heart.

Secretary Hu didn't follow her upstairs.At the door of his own house, Shang Qinqin hesitated for a moment.She raised her hand, but her fingers dared not touch the painted door panel.Is this what is said in the poem, "the closer you are to the country, the more timid you are?"

Suddenly a door on the opposite side was opened, and the people inside were shocked when they saw her: "Qinqin, where have you been these days? Ask your mother and she won't tell, your brother is always crying and wants to find your sister."

Shang Qinqin turned around and forced a smile: "Grandma Wu, I... have a lot of homework in school recently, and I have applied to live in school." In order to save some accommodation fees, Shang Qinqin had always lived at home before.

The old man's ears are not very good, so he couldn't hear what Shang Qinqin said clearly, so he asked again loudly.Shang Qinqin was about to answer, but heard a "click" behind him, the sound of the door lock being opened.

Standing behind the door was Wang Hongmei with a bad complexion.

"Come in and talk." Wang Hongmei said coldly.

Shang Qinqin smiled at Grandma Wu, and entered the house cautiously.

"Mom—" Shang Qinqin broke the silence first.

Wang Hongmei looked at the happy family portrait on the wall with her back turned to her, her body trembled slightly.

"Mom." Shang Qinqin's nose was sore, "I'm sorry."

Wang Hongmei's nasal voice was heavy: "You are most sorry for your father."

dad.Shang Qinqin looked at the smiling man on the wall. She had never seen this man with her own eyes, but she could sketch out his image from the remaining memory of the original Shang Qinqin.This is a poor man.He had excellent grades since he was a child, but he was unable to go to college because of his poor family background, so he could only sell his strength to support his family. I came to Hong Kong after the 80s, thinking that I could come to a legendary paradise, but my dream was completely shattered by the ruthless reality.Years of exhaustion overwhelmed his body, and he didn't even have time to see the day when he was admitted to the University of Hong Kong, and he eventually became a piece of loess in a foreign land.

Shang Qinqin wanted to say "Mom, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I will cut off contact with him", but she couldn't.The moment she saw the task, she knew that this was a road that could not be turned back after hitting the south wall, and she could only reach the other shore by going forward bravely.

Wang Hongmei asked: "Is that man married?"

Shang Qinqin was silent.

Wang Hongmei said: "If your father is still alive, he should be about the same age as him."

Shang Qinqin still did not speak.

Wang Hongmei was suddenly furious: "Shang Qinqin, speak up!"

Shang Qinqin looked at her sadly, and finally said: "Mom, I'm sorry."

Wang Hongmei seemed to be sucked out of all her strength in an instant, her body went limp, she almost fell to the ground, and barely managed to hold onto the wall.She looked at Shang Qinqin sadly: "Will you continue to be with him?"

Shang Qinqin didn't move, his face was full of tears.

Wang Hongmei said with a hoarse voice: "Qin Qin, if you really want... Mom can't stop you. But you have to think carefully, he also has his family, do you want to be someone else's mistress? People poke the spine!"

Shang Qinqin opened his mouth, but said: "Mom, when I come back this time, I want to say one thing."

Wang Hongmei understood the determination on Shang Qinqin's face, she was startled, and murmured: "Don't say it, Qinqin, don't say it..."

Shang Qinqin, on the other hand, spoke clearly, "Mom, I'm going abroad, maybe I won't come back in the future. I'm here to say goodbye to you and my brother. Mom, I know I'm not filial, I lost you And dad's face, I said a thousand and ten thousand sorry can't make up for my mistakes, but I still have to say, Mom, I'm sorry. Mom, forget about me, forget that there is such a naughty daughter like me You take good care of your younger brother, don’t worry about money. My younger brother is still young, he is very smart, and he will definitely become a talent in the future.”

Shang Qinqin knelt on the cold concrete floor, her knees hurt, but she didn't feel it at all.She kowtowed three times to Wang Hongmei, got up and went to the back room, kissed her sleeping brother lightly on the forehead, and left without looking back.

When they went downstairs, the Rolls Royce was still parked there.She opened the car door and said to the surprised Secretary Hu, "Let's go."

The car started, and Shang Qinqin calmly looked at the scenery outside the window.The tall buildings divide the sky into fragmented shapes, and the scale-like clouds are like catkins blown away by the wind, bit by bit, the way is endless.It has been half a year since she came to this world, and it was the first time she discovered that the sky in Hong Kong is so high and so blue, so high that it makes people intoxicated, and it is so blue that people are intoxicated.

***

The radio repeatedly broadcast the news that Typhoon Signal No. [-] was about to land in Hong Kong. The wind blew mercilessly outside the window, and the dark and heavy clouds covered the tops of skyscrapers not far away.

But no matter how it looks like a hell on earth outside, inside the house is like a paradise.

The maid carefully poured a gram of bird food for the precious bird in the cage, and then went out. There was only a small dim light in the bedroom, and the room was filled with the faint scent of roses. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows A woman stood before him.

She wore long curly hair and only wore a large bathrobe. She lowered her eyes and stared at a wild goose not far away that was stubbornly resisting the strong wind.Under the vast sky, it looks so small, so small that it will be swallowed by this angry storm in the next second.

The woman sighed faintly, and the sigh was buried in the noise from below the city.Even in typhoon days, Hong Kong has never been quiet. This is a city destined to be noisy.

"Well, Hong Kong has changed a lot, right?" At some point, the bedroom door was quietly opened.The woman didn't look back, she knew that there was only one person in this world who would appear unexpectedly.

"I thought I would never come back in this life, but I didn't expect to encounter such a storm when I finally came back." The cigarette in the woman's hand was flickering, and the slender fingers holding the cigarette were burning with red nail polish.

The man gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist, his gestures were intimate but not frivolous: "Everything is good in Hong Kong, but this is not good. There are always typhoon warnings."

But the woman said: "There is nothing good in Hong Kong, but this is good. There is too much filth here, and it cannot be washed away by storms."

The man shook his head: "Qin Qin, you always like to fight against me."
