"Who is it?"
Lu Yiwei called out as he put on his clothes, but no one answered.
The doorbell kept ringing. He put on his pajamas and came to the door. He asked again. A low voice came from outside the door. It was really her. He was in a dilemma. Should he open the door or not? After thinking for a moment, he opened the door.
What caught him off guard was that Qiu Yingxue rushed into his arms and hugged him tightly, sobbing non-stop as she lay in his arms. Lu Yiwei stood there stiffly, with no place to put his hands.
The door was not closed, and the lights in the corridor were still there. His hair was still wet, dripping down …
"Yingxue, don't be like this. What's wrong with you?"
Qiu Yingxue slowly raised her head. Her eyes were red and swollen. She bit her lips and said, "Yiwei, I'm scared …"
"Can you let go of me first? The door is still open. "
She realized that she had lost her composure, so she hurriedly let go of her hands and stood there shyly like a child. Her fingers kept rolling the corner of her clothes. She did not have the dignity and coldness of the former Discipline Inspection Secretary.
Usually, Qiu Yingxue was serious in speech and manner and had a tough style. Coupled with the fact that her father-in-law was the head of the municipal organization department, no one dared to provoke her. Even Liu Zhankui had to give in to her. Since she entered Yongsheng Town, all the officials were obedient and well-behaved. In this way, she dealt with seven or eight officials in a row, which played a deterrent role.
After closing the door, Lu Yiwei looked back at her. He took a towel to dry his hair and said, "What's wrong?"
"No … Nothing. I just feel uncomfortable."
After that, she squinted at the ceiling and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her fingers.
Lu Yiwei knew what happened, but it was not convenient for him to say it. He pointed at the sofa and said, "Sit down and talk."
Qiu Yingxue slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. No one knew whether it was because she was wearing thin clothes or because she was too sad, but her body was shivering like an injured hedgehog. She wanted to be hugged, but she did not want to hurt others with her thorny body.
Because of their working relationship, they called each other by their titles. They were not used to calling each other by their titles. Coupled with their previous relationship, his words and actions were relatively casual. Lu Yiwei threw the towel aside, sat down, and lit a cigarette. "What's wrong? Are you scared? I'm back now, aren't I?"
Qiu Yingxue burst into tears again. Lu Yiwei couldn't take it anymore. He quickly handed over a tissue and said, "Why are you crying again?"
Qiu Yingxue took the tissue and wiped it as she said, "It's all your fault."
Lu Yiwei couldn't help but laugh. He crossed his legs but felt that it was inappropriate, so he sat there and said, "Go ahead and cry. If you have something on your mind, you'll feel better after crying."
He thought that she would uncover her sealed memories, but she didn't. They just sat there in a daze, not talking to each other. They could only hear the ticking of the clock on the wall. The hour hand overlapped with the minute hand, pointing at 12 o 'clock at the same time. She slowly stood up and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I forgot myself. Rest early, I'm going back. "
Lu Yiwei stood up and sent her to the door. He then said the words that had been brewing for a long time, "Look forward, there's no obstacle that can't be overcome."
Qiu Yingxue was stunned. After a long time, she turned back to look at him affectionately and said, "Yiwei, if I said that I liked you back then, would you believe me?"
This time, it was Lu Yiwei's turn to be stunned. He lowered his head and smiled, then froze. He let out a long sigh and said, "Is there any use in saying this now?"
"I'm asking if you believe me or not."
Lu Yiwei hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Qiu Yingxue did something shocking again. She threw herself at him and hugged him. She tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek before running away like a fugitive. Lu Yiwei stood there motionlessly. After a long time, he reached out and touched his hot cheeks. His heart was in chaos.
It was all in the past, the impulse of youth. To be honest, he didn't really like Qiu Yingxue back then. He just reacted instinctively when he saw a beautiful woman. It just so happened that he was in a vacuum of love at that time. Under the constant urging of his family, he was forced to do something unusual. If there was a common interest and a common language between them …
Lying on the bed, he couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. What was going on? Was it because of the pressure from work? Or did Qiu Yingxue's kiss just now break into his heart? This was the first time he had contact with the opposite sex after his marriage with Fan Chunfang. He actually felt his heart palpitate with excitement.
He touched his burning cheeks and did not forget to sniff it. It was colorless and odorless. There was only the lingering smell of tobacco on his fingertips.
At this moment, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a text from Qiu Yingxue. "Do you still remember the song we sang at the KTV when we graduated from the Party School?"
Lu Yiwei thought for a moment and replied, "I remember."
"Can I sing it for you?"
"Now?"
She did not reply but called him. Lu Yiwei hesitated for a moment before picking up the call. She did not say a word but started singing …
I don't ask why you're crying
I don't care who else is in your heart
Let me comfort you
No matter if the ending is happy or sad
…
You should know that this will break my heart
Promise me that you will never
Linger in the night
Don't easily taste the taste of indulgence
You should know that this will break my heart
This was a song by Zhang Xinzhe, "Love is like the Tide". For the tone-deaf Lu Yiwei, he rarely went to the KTV to join in the fun, but he liked to listen to other people sing. When the youth cadre class graduated, the whole class went to the KTV. Regardless of whether they were male or female, they all drank too much that night. In the beginning, she was reserved and could not let go. After drinking a little too much, she sang this song, which shocked everyone. No one expected her to sing so well, to be able to perform a man's song to the fullest.
The next day, just like graduating from university, everyone packed up and returned to their respective posts. After that, Lu Yiwei did not see her again. In his heart, Qiu Yingxue was just like Toya, just a beautiful dream. Don't try to disturb the dream. Years later, when you recall it, your heart will feel sweet.
He did not expect to meet again.
"Are you listening?"
Lu Yiwei awoke from his memories and grunted in acknowledgment.
"How do you understand this song?"
"Uh … I don't know how to sing, I just think it sounds good."
The other party was silent for a long time before saying, "Yiwei, do you know that my love is a failure? Ever since he passed away, I no longer believe in love. Now, we are introduced to each other. I don't like him, not because of his looks, but because I heard some of his romantic stories before. But my parents took a liking to his family and forced me to marry him. For the sake of my family, I made a sacrifice. It was a marriage without love to begin with. I can't fall in love with him, can you understand? "
Lu Yiwei listened quietly. Wasn't her story the exact same as his? It was just the opposite. The difference was that he was a man and should bear the responsibility of a family.
Because he had no other choice.
