Flowers all the way

Chapter 22 The Infinite Prison
Lu Fei drove the car into the yard, just in time for David Fan to open the trunk and put Xin Di's luggage in.Seeing Xin Chen, who hadn't returned all night, get off Lu Fei's car, Xin Di didn't show any surprise, but was rather happy.Lu Fei was still in a hurry to go to the meeting, so he said hello to them and left first.

Xin Chen came over and said with a smile: "Put passport and international flight ticket in the innermost mezzanine of the bag, and ID card and Beijing ticket in the outer mezzanine. Don't let this bag out of your sight."

"You repeat my mother's words exactly." Xin Di couldn't help laughing, hesitated, and whispered, "Chenzi, no matter what my mother says, don't care, okay?"

Xin Chen was startled, then smiled, "Don't worry about it, aunt won't say anything about me."

After all, it was her own mother, and Xin Di didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, "I'm leaving, you stay here obediently, don't just disappear without a sound before I come back."

"No, you're just watching a fashion week, and the disbursement of demolition funds probably won't be so efficient." Xin Chen yawned, "Get in the car, Dizi, don't miss the plane, safe journey."

Watching David Fan drive the car out of the yard, Xin Chen went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes, and then rushed to the demolition office with all the real estate certificates and ID cards.The staff of the demolition office told her that after she signed, they will arrange for an intermediary agency to survey and evaluate the main body, decoration, and auxiliary facilities of her house, and send the "Real Estate Evaluation Report" to her as soon as possible, pending confirmation After that, they can arrange to receive the demolition funds, and they can't say the exact time.

Xin Chen didn't expect to get the money right away, but she thought it would be nothing to do with her after signing, and she didn't expect it to be so complicated.She thought, it was really not an easy thing to escape.

After leaving the demolition office, she could only rush to the office of the advertising company David Fan in a sullen mood. Yan Xuhui had already returned to Beijing after finishing the filming. Post-production printing.

David Fan saw halfway, the phone rang, and he had a smile on his face, "Xin Di called." He stood up, "Are you here? Yes, Lao Yan should invite you to dinner. Wait a minute, I'll go out and talk to you." you say."

He walked out of the office, Xin Chen continued to look at the picture, after a while, a tall girl walked in and looked at her condescendingly, it was Shen Xiaona who met here a while ago.Xin Chen glanced at her, and then returned to the LCD screen.

Shen Xiaona looked at her unceremoniously, "What are you doing here?"

Xin Chen replied casually: "Of course it's work. If you have business negotiations, please contact Zhenzhen at the front desk."

Shen Xiaona ignored her, and her gaze fell on a newly placed photo frame on David Fan's desk. The photo inlaid inside was taken at Xin Di's press conference held in Beijing at the end of March this year. David Fan walked on the runway to present flowers. Captured the moment when the two embraced each other, the brilliant lights hit the two of them. David Fan, who was wearing a royal blue shirt, was majestic, his tall and fit body leaned slightly towards the petite Xin Di, with a bunch of lilies between them, his face It's hard to touch her upturned face, the picture is pleasing to the eye.David Fan had received this photo a long time ago, but he suddenly remembered it in the past few days. He found it, enlarged it, developed it, and placed it on his desk.

It was the first time for Shen Xiaona to see it, she was a little surprised, she stretched out her hand to pick it up for a closer look, but she saw Xin Chen was looking at her with a smile that was not a smile, she didn't want to lose the battle, she withdrew her hand, walked around in a casual manner, and sat down. Go to David Fan's place, "Which clothing company's picture is this?"

Unexpectedly, Xin Chen immediately reached out and turned off the display screen. Shen Xiaona was stunned by her action at first, and then became annoyed, "What do you mean?"

Xin Chen turned the swivel chair half a circle, stepped back from the desk, and faced her directly, without any intention of giving in, "If I'm not mistaken, you are also from a clothing company, right? These pictures are not convenient for you to look at. Please don't interrupt my work if you can."

Shen Xiaona didn't say that in her own company, she was always treated with courtesy when she went in and out of this advertising company, but suddenly she was stunned by such unaccommodating treatment, just in time for David Fan to come back after speaking on the phone , Immediately shouted: "Wei Fan, why is your employee so rude?"

"Is there anything you can do for me, Xiaona?"

"It's okay, can't I find you?"

At a glance, David Fan saw Xin Chen's leisurely wait-and-see expression, and said sternly, "Xiaona, I have arranged for Xiao Liu to follow up on the production of the promotional materials you entrusted. If you have any specific requirements, you can directly ask him."

Shen Xiaona obviously didn't expect his tone to be so formal, she pointed at Xin Chen, "Wei Fan, please introduce this lady to me."

"Shen Xiaona, the design director of Xinhe Clothing, this is Xin Chen, a part-time graphic designer of our company." After Dawei Fan formally introduced, he added clearly, "She is also the younger sister of my girlfriend Xin Di."

Shen Xiaona was taken aback. The name Xin Di was quite famous in the local clothing industry. Her parents owned a clothing company, and she had the name of a design director, so she had heard of it.She looked at the photos on the table, and then at David Fan, "When did Xin Di become your girlfriend?"

David Fan said amusedly: "I don't need to report my private life in detail to my junior, do I?!"

Shen Xiaona was almost choked, her anger rose, she could only suppress herself, squinted her eyes and smiled, "Okay, senior, I'll go find Xiao Liu." She turned and walked out of the office.

"This performance is a pass." Xin Chen curled his lips, obviously not appreciative.David Fan could only laugh at himself: "You are much harder to please than your sister."

Xin Chen smiled, and turned on the display screen again, "Mr. Dai, not flirting with others is the basic condition for a sincere relationship. My Dizi's requirements for men are not that simple."

David Fan naturally understood what she meant, laughed, and continued to look at the pictures with her. After all revisions and review were completed, Xin Chen was about to leave, and David Fan also got up, "Xin Chen, I will take you back."

"no need."

"I didn't give it to you on purpose. I forgot the Bluetooth headset at Xindi's place yesterday. I have to go get it."

Xin Chen had no choice but to get into his car, and the two went upstairs together. She took the key to open the door, but was stunned. Li Xin was sitting on the sofa, folding the clothes she had put away.Xin Di has always been neglectful of housework, and usually hires a part-time worker to come over three times a week to do cleaning.No matter how she protested, Li Xin never gave up on taking care of her. She would come over every once in a while to tidy up her room, changing clothes and quilts.

Li Xin looked sharply at Xin Chen and David Fan who entered the door at the same time. David Fan was indeed taken aback by this look. He instinctively thought of his overnight stay last night, and thought that the old lady probably knew about it.

Xin Chen said calmly: "Mr. Dai, look for where you put the earphones."

David Fan came back to his senses, "Hello, Auntie, I left the earphones here yesterday when I brought Xiaodi back." He saw the earphones on the tea table and quickly picked them up, "Are you going back now? I'll give them to you. "

"No need, Xiaodai." Li Xin said kindly, "You go about your business, I'll sit down for a while."

After David Fan left, Xin Chen thought that she might not be able to avoid a positive conversation. Remembering Xin Di's warning before leaving in the morning, she sat on another sofa and waited for Li Xin to speak.

"Xiaochen, what do you think of me and your uncle treating you?"

This standard opening speech made her a little dumbfounded, "It's good for me!"

Li Xin smiled, "You don't have to force it. Your uncle is really good to you. He loves you as much as Xiaodi. Sometimes he even cares about you more than she does. As for me, as an aunt, I know We have never been close, but I think I have never treated you badly."

"You have taken good care of me."

"Yes, I have a clear conscience on this point. Dizi is your cousin, and she has always treated you as her own sister. You have no objection to this, right?"

Li Xin spoke softly, Xin Chen was speechless and could only nod silently.

"So I hope that you will know how to be grateful."

"Auntie, I have already signed at the demolition office this morning, and I will go to Kunming immediately after I get the money."

Li Xin nodded, "Xiao Chen, it's not that I'm cruel to drive you away. If you just lived in my house, I never refused, but the current situation is not that simple. I don't want to be a villain. There are some things that I must Tell you clearly. Before you were born, your grandparents came to me and insisted that I claim to be pregnant. After you were born, we would take you back to register, so as to save your father from being an unmarried father. , hindering his future life. Your uncle is a foolish and filial person, but he agreed without hesitation. He didn't think about it at all. We are all civil servants. How could we openly violate the one-child policy, don't want a future, don't want a public job, and suffer this loyalty? For this matter , I fell out with him for the first time, and we quarreled to the point of getting a divorce before he compromised."

Xin Chen didn't expect such a past, she smiled bitterly, "The request from grandpa and grandma is indeed unreasonable, you should refuse."

"Our husband and wife have always had a good relationship. Before that, we had never blushed. Every time we quarreled in the future, it can be said that most of the reasons were inseparable from you or your father. Including that time, your uncle used a lot to keep your father from going to jail. It cannot be said that his relationship has no effect on his reputation and position. Even if I am not good enough to you, he has indeed done his best. Therefore, I am a little selfish now, and I believe you can understand it. You and Lu Fei, it is impossible ..."

"I really don't need to say anything more, aunt. I cherish the feelings that uncle and Dizi have for me, and thank you for your tolerance for me for so many years. I don't mind what you think of me, but there is no need to say it, it hurts There's no point in being friendly." Xin Chen looked at Li Xin with a calm expression, "I assure you now that I will leave as soon as possible and will not do anything to embarrass Uncle and Dizi, is this okay?"

After Li Xin left, Xin Chen felt cold sweat on his palms, and his heartbeat was so heavy that it seemed to resonate in his ears.She lay down on the sofa, followed the yoga breathing method she had practiced for a while, relaxed her body, and slowly adjusted her breathing until her heartbeat gradually returned to its normal rhythm.

After lying down for an unknown amount of time, she fell into a dream, walking alone on a dark and narrow road, surrounded by absolute silence, she could only repeat her steps forward monotonously, with the gray scenery on both sides always unchanged, ahead I can't see the end, I can't see the way when I look back, such a desperate trek, but I can't stop.

The ringtone of the mobile phone woke her up, and she lay silently. When she regained her mobility, she struggled and leaned over to pick up the mobile phone on the coffee table. It was Lu Fei who called.She pressed the answer button, and Lu Fei's voice came: "Xiaochen, can I come and pick you up for dinner now?"

She should have been grateful that this call brought her out of the nightmare, but his gentle and calm tone made her suddenly furious, and she yelled fiercely: "I won't eat, I won't eat." Throwing it on the coffee table, the fuselage collided with the glass on the coffee table and made a piercing crisp sound. She was startled before calming down, and blindfolded her eyes in frustration.

As night fell, the silence in the room made her feel suffocated. She got up and turned on the light, then turned on the TV, and then lay down on the sofa again.

She gave up the TV when she was decorating her home, and only watched Internet TV on the computer in her spare time.There was a variety show on the screen in front of me, the host and the guests were joking around, making the room a little more angry.

She slowly regained her composure, thinking that the work at hand was over, and she didn't plan to pick up new ones to trip her up, so she might just have to wait around doing nothing.She has never been impatient, but now she suddenly can't bear to stay in this city without a specific deadline.

The doorbell rang, and Xin Chen went to open the door and saw Lu Fei standing at the door. She felt sorry for the outburst on the phone just now, but she really couldn't mobilize the mood of being polite.However, Lu Fei ignored her sullen face, walked straight to the restaurant, opened the food box in his hand, went to the kitchen to take out the bowls and chopsticks, "Come and eat."

Xin Chen was a little confused about the situation. She thought, did she still say something she shouldn't have said after drinking last night, which made Lu Fei take care of her for granted.

What Lufei brought was a shredded eel, a stewed bamboo shoot tip, and a fish fillet soup. They were hot and fragrant when they were placed on the table. She was indeed hungry, so she decided there was no need to be awkward, so she happily sat across from him to eat. up.

The two of them didn't speak, as if they were sitting and eating opposite each other, it was only natural.After Xin Chen finished eating, he tidied up the table neatly, took the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, washed them and put them away. When he came out, he saw that Lu Fei was standing by the living room window and looking outside. Under the soft light, the tall and slender figure made her stand still. I was in a trance.

At this time, Lu Fei turned around suddenly. This old-fashioned house has a long depth, and the eyes of the two met across the long and narrow living room and dining room. Xin Chen didn't even have time to put that casual smile on his face. Almost exhausted, he leaned against the kitchen door frame.

Lu Fei came over, held her hand, led her to the sofa, and asked her to sit down, "What happened today?"

"You have so much confidence in me that you actually think that only after something happens to me will I get angry and lose my temper unreasonably."

He smiled, "Yes, I would like to see you attack without any scruples, but you are too controlling yourself now."

"Who has the right to have no scruples about others? I got angry with you just now, I'm sorry. I'm really in a bad mood, and I can't maintain basic politeness."

"Don't rush to apologize, tell me why."

"The demolition procedures are too cumbersome and boring for a while, for no particular reason."

"Are you in a hurry to go?"

"Very urgent." Xin Chen smiled bleakly, "If uncle is not too busy with work, I will entrust him with the demolition and leave quickly, at least to leave a more graceful back for everyone."

"I asked you last night, if I asked you to stay, would you agree?"

Xin Chen tried hard to think back, but couldn't figure it out, "I probably didn't say anything, even if I did, it would be drunken words, and it can't be taken seriously."

Lu Fei smiled and sighed, "You're so drunk, you didn't answer my request."

His eyes looked at her with nostalgia, and she once again found that she would involuntarily relax and become weak under such gaze, so she could only avoid his sight, "What are you going to do, Lufei? Want to see how indifferent and how indifferent I will be?" Is it rude?"

"I want to keep you. The method is very clumsy, and I know clearly that the tighter I hold my hand, the more eager you will be to break free, but I have to try."

"Cultivating dependence on one person is a terrible thing. I won't let myself go through it again, not to mention that I have good reasons not to stay, so don't try, okay?"

Lu Fei stared at her, "Sorry for making you so unhappy."

Xin Chen smiled, "Lu Fei, don't tell me you're sorry. You're always like this, and you can't help but feel soft-hearted. If you keep talking, I'll really think you're sorry. But you don't owe me anything, don't insist Take my happiness or life as your responsibility, you can't afford it, and I dare not let others bear it."

"You treat me as a soft-hearted and guilty person who is trapped by a self-righteous sense of responsibility." The smile on the corner of Lu Fei's mouth deepened, "But Xiaochen, if I still want to be responsible for your life today, I am indeed right." You don't understand a little bit. I just want you to be happy, whether the premise of this happiness is me or not."

The next morning, Xinchen received a call from the demolition office, informing her that she had to go through the formalities.She thought it was to arrange an intermediary agency to inspect her house, and agreed listlessly.

It was raining lightly outside, and there was a slight chill in the air.Xin Chen went to the demolition office and reported her name to the staff. After a while, the general manager of the demolition company who claimed to be surnamed Wang received her personally and told her that as long as she signed a few documents, the demolition money would be paid to her immediately. on the account.

Looking at the cumbersome documents, Xin Chen couldn't help being puzzled, Mr. Wang said politely: "Miss Xin, you also know that this demolition project is developed by Haotian Group, Mr. Lu called from Shenzhen early in the morning Come here, we will naturally follow her orders."

He picked up his mobile phone and dialed, said a few words and handed it to Xin Chen, "Mr. Lu, please listen to the phone."

Xin Chen took the phone, and it was Lu Shi's voice that came from inside: "Xiao Chen, hello."

"Lu is sister, hello."

"I've already told Mr. Wang that you just need to sign the documents and give him the bank account number, and he will complete the procedures for you in the shortest possible time."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, Xiaochen."

This turning point came so unexpectedly, Xin Chen put down his phone, calmed down and thought about it, and concluded that there was no need to hesitate.She quickly signed the documents and handed over the relevant ownership certificates and keys to the staff.After a while, the cashier came over and gave her the transfer voucher. The house of less than 70 square meters turned into a small amount of cash, which was deposited in her bank account.

After coming out of the demolition office, it rained a little harder. Xin Chen walked a few steps under an umbrella, and couldn't help but stop, looking across the street at the place where he had lived since he was a child.

The part of the public housing and warehouses that were demolished in the early stage created an abrupt gap in the dense residential area. Some facades along the street have been closed, and some have put up slogans such as "demolition big sale" and used loudspeakers to attract customers. , such a hasty and enthusiastic shouting sound did not attract customers to welcome the door, but it was a bit bleak in the rain.

She slowly looked up towards her home.

On the balcony on the fifth floor, the leaves of the morning glory covered with anti-theft nets are still emerald green, and the purple-red flowers are already in full bloom. In a few days, there will be no new flower buds, and the leaves will fade away. Gradually withered and withered, the vines will gradually wither.And this once densely populated residential area will be relocated and demolished into ruins, and then a shopping plaza plus high-end office buildings and apartments will be erected.

If she will come back, there should be no trace of the old days.

Xin Chen didn't let herself stay any longer, she walked along the street, found an airline ticket office, went in to inquire about flights and discounts, and booked an early flight ticket for the next day.After she walked out with the paid air ticket, she called Xin Kaiming. Of course he was surprised, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"So as not to delay my father's wedding, he's not young anymore."

This mischievous answer made the corner of Xin Kaiming's mouth twitch, but he couldn't help but laugh.He is led by a secretary and has a clear understanding of world affairs.The demolition funds were credited to Xin Chen's account at such an alarming speed, and Xin Chen decided to leave without any delay. There was no need to think about the connection between them. He could only say in the same relaxed tone as possible: "Xiao Chen , come over for dinner tonight."

"No, uncle, I have to go shopping. I have an appointment with friends tonight. Please tell my aunt for me, so I won't say goodbye in person. I will call you as soon as I arrive in Kunming."

Lu Fei's call came right after, "Xiaochen, what time do you plan to book the flight?"

Lu is thousands of miles away from Shenzhen, but suddenly intervened in this matter. Of course, Xin Chen didn't have to ask Lu Fei why he would ask this question, but just told him the flight time, and he sighed softly through the receiver: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

She couldn't give him the answer she had given to her uncle, and she was silent for a while, "Please thank Sister Lu for me, and thank you too."

This thank you made Lu Fei also silent.At this time he was standing in front of the window, behind him was his new office, the teak floor was shiny, the large desk was well organized, the dark bookcase was full of hardcover books, and by the window on the other side was a A group of black leather sofas, calla lilies in crystal vases on the coffee table, and tall potted broad-leaved plants with branches and leaves stretched in the corner.

Today he officially took up his new post. In the morning, Wang Feng presided over the board of directors and introduced him to shareholders and company executives. In the afternoon, there was a working meeting for investment project approval.The secretary began to arrange the schedule according to his instructions, and he had already entered a tense working state.

The glass curtain wall cuts off the hustle and bustle of the city below, but various sounds can be heard clearly from the handset of the mobile phone: the rain is hitting the umbrella densely, the cars are passing by non-stop, and the horns of motorcycles and electric vehicles are endless. There was a lot of voices.He could imagine that she was standing on the streets of the busy city, holding a mobile phone like him, maintaining a posture of standing and listening, the rain, the traffic and people around seemed to have nothing to do with her.

The intercom phone on the desk rang, and he said to the mobile phone: "I'm sorry." He pressed the answer, and the secretary's crisp voice came: "Mr. Lu, it's time for the meeting."

"Got it, thank you."

Xin Chen said: "You are busy, I have to go shopping too, goodbye."

"Xiaochen, I'm going to a meeting right now, and I have a social event tonight, so it's probably going to be very late. I'll pick you up at the airport tomorrow morning."

"OK, thanks."

When Lu Fei came to ring the doorbell, Xin Chen had just gotten up, opened the door with his toothbrush in his mouth, and then ran back to the bathroom.She booked the morning flight with the biggest discount, and she had already calculated the time to freshen up calmly, but Lu Fei came earlier than she expected, so she could only speed up brushing her teeth, washing her face and combing her hair, tied her hair into a small bun, and then went to Change clothes, "I'll be fine soon."

"No hurry, eat breakfast first."

What Lu Fei brought were steamed buns and soy milk. Xin Chen saw the wrapping paper bag and knew that it was produced by a time-honored local brand with no branch.She used to love to eat this, but Lu Fei knew very well that when he went to visit her on vacation, he would buy it first and then rush to her house, watching her eat with a smile on his face.

Under his gaze at the moment, she felt a little hungry, barely finished eating, got up and ran out to close the windows of all the rooms, then picked up the suitcase and notebook bag that had been packed last night, "Okay, let's go."

Lu Fei took it, watched her lock the door, and they went downstairs together.Yesterday's rain came and went suddenly, I don't know when it stopped at night, and the air was fresh and quiet in the morning.Xin Chen stood under the acacia tree and waited for Lu Fei to reverse the car. The breeze blew by, and the rainwater accumulated on the leaves slid on her body.From the rearview mirror, Lu Fei saw her looking up at the tall acacia tree, shaking the water from her hair, and a slight smile appeared on her beautiful face. He held his breath and could hardly hold the steering wheel tightly.

It has been 11 years since he saw her shaking the acacia tree in the attitude of an urchin, making a flower rain, and then shaking her head to shake off the petals on her body.Now that he was about to send her off, the distance between them would be opened again.

Lu Fei drove the car out of the city, and when he was about to board the airport expressway, he suddenly said, "Xiaochen, I'll take you to see your flowers, it won't take long."

Before Xin Chen could answer, he had already turned the steering wheel and drove to an exit to the left.

A straight avenue in front of him leads to a large criss-crossing natural lake area in the suburbs. Xin Chen came here to take part in hiking around the lake in his spare time before, and went deep into the hinterland of the lake and the river. He is no stranger to the environment here, and he has noticed When I went to the community under construction on the side of the lake, my colleagues were still arguing about whether it was reasonable to approve the construction project of the residential community under the sign of the largest wetland ecological protection zone in the suburbs, but anyway, the villa built on such a beautiful lakeside It aroused everyone's unanimous attention. They temporarily interrupted their schedule and went to the sales department. Several netizens with financial strength even asked the staff for the price.

The weather was not clear, and the sky was covered with dense clouds. Looking out from the car, there was a thin mist flowing on the surface of the lake. Along the lakeside was a row of tall and straight metasequoia, outlining the outline of the lake shoreline.Lu Fei drove into the community and stopped in front of a townhouse. He got out of the car, went around and opened the car door for Xin Chen, and reached out to hold her hand. She could only use the momentum to get out of the car.

A tall man was leading a light yellow golden retriever, walking leisurely through the still wet driveway in front of the yard, the birds were chirping in the trees, bringing the unique tranquility of the morning after the rain.

This is a three-storey villa that has not yet been renovated. Like other villas, it has uniform blue-gray wall tiles, with a sun room, and the attached garage has no door, facing the courtyard empty, and the yard has not been tidied up. , but the flowers moved from her house are neatly placed in one corner, and the pots are growing well, and the two pots of begonias are sprouting small fruits, and the heart-shaped leaves of the geraniums are rolling with water, and the roses of various colors are blooming lively. Flowers, the eye-catching nearly one-meter-high asparagus bamboo branches and leaves stretch out, there are no withered flowers hanging on the branches, and there are no yellow leaves. It can be seen that they have been carefully cared for these days.

"I have already found someone to come up with the design, and the decoration will start in a few days."

The corners of Xin Chen's mouth turned up, and he smiled, "The environment here is good, but," she casually pointed at the flowers with her chin, "I plant flowers based on the principle of being easy to feed and blooming lively, and they may not be the same as those here. The environment matches, after you finish the decoration, you can find a garden designer to plan the courtyard and choose suitable varieties.”

Lu Fei's voice was unhurried, "I don't need to find someone to plan what is most suitable for me. I just tell you that I bought this house half a month ago; yesterday, I just took over a local New job. I may visit relatives, go on business trips, take vacations in the future, but most of the time, I will settle here."

Xin Chen turned his head, his eyes were clearly written: Why did you tell me this?

Lu Fei looked at her, with the same clear words in his eyes: You should know why.

He stared at her with deep eyes.Xin Chen once again found that the man standing in front of him had a calm posture. She couldn't resist his gaze, so she turned her head to look at the flowers, "Okay, it's the same sentence, let's walk and stay, come and go , just be happy."

"I'm telling you this, not to restrict you with my plan. I just want you to know that if you don't want me to accompany you now, then I will stay here and wait for you, as long as you want." Xin Chen was speechless , Lu Fei said briefly, "Let's go, I'll take you to the airport."

The two got in the car, and Lu Fei drove to the airport, checked her in and checked her luggage, and sent her to the security checkpoint. She took her laptop bag and looked back at him, "I never waited for you, Lu Fei No, I don't need you to compensate me in this way."

"It must be said that this is compensation, and it is also compensation for the shortcomings of my own life. Forgive my selfishness, Xiaochen, I can't keep you. I should have let you live the life you want without any burden, but I still bear it." I can't help imposing this wait on you."

Xin Chen's eyes fluctuated, "I can only say that a waiting that I don't want to accept probably won't bind me."

Lu Fei smiled, "Yes, I only use it to bind myself, you are free."

"Freedom?" Xin Chen also smiled, "I dreamed of it when I was a child, and when I grew up, I wandered all over the world and made my home, enjoying a free life. Now I can control my life, but I can't be sure. This is the freedom I want. Goodbye, Lufei."

She walked straight into the security checkpoint, put her laptop bag on the security conveyor belt, passed through the metal detection gate, picked up her bag and walked straight in.

Lu Fei stared at the figure disappearing from his sight.

He did have many opportunities to keep her, but he chose to let go, almost breaking the bond that kept her with him.

That night when she came out of the Forever bar, she was drunk and lay in his arms, chatting randomly and non-stop, talking about the days with him, wandering on the avenue behind the park, and watching movies with him , listening to him playing the piano, playing chess with him, talking about the rainbow that suddenly appeared over the Labuleng Monastery in Gannan, the flower lake and grass sea in the sunset, the lonely sunset on the vast Gobi, the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the donkey friends who were traveling together , a small inn without lights, a rainforest overgrown with leeches, a muddy mountain road, a snake darting across the grass...

On the quiet street in the middle of the night, occasionally a car drove by, and the headlights flickered by. Her voice gradually became weak and vague, and she was almost exhausted, but she still refused to stop.He carried her into the car and checked the time, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night.He drove the car back to his residence, carried her to the elevator home, and put her on his bed. She looked up blankly, then suddenly raised her arms to hug him tightly, and kissed his lips, which were formed before his consciousness. Responding, the two men's lips and tongues intertwined, with the smell of wine, equally urgent.

The last passionate kiss was nearly eight years ago, and it aroused his adolescent lust for the first time, which made him almost unable to hold back; but at this moment, in his arms was the girl he had dreamed of, and he kissed her neck and sucked her fiercely The throbbing carotid artery, the thin blood vessels pulsating between his teeth, he bit down, with the force that seemed to want to swallow her up, she hissed and screamed in pain, trembling under him, he suddenly woke up, let go of her, But she turned over and leaned on him, and said vaguely: "Bite me?" She also bit him hard, and the hot breath of her breath sprayed on his neck. He remained motionless, enduring the sweet pain, only gently Caressing her back, her teeth gradually relaxed, her lips stuck in place, her body relaxed in his arms, her breathing was slow and steady, and she fell into sleep.

Lu Fei moved her to lie beside her and stared at her closely.The expression on that face was serene, the long eyelashes cast a row of shadows under the eyelids, the swollen lips were slightly parted, and the breath still smelled of wine.

Although their physical needs were equally honest and fervent, he knew she was in a drunken euphoria, and if he possessed her now, she would run farther away when she woke up.

He couldn't indulge his desire and took this opportunity to impose himself on her.

After leaving Xin Di's house the night before, Lu Fei sat in the car and called the circuit first.After hearing his request, Lu Shi was surprised: "Are you asking me to do this to encourage her to leave immediately?"

"She's not happy here right now."

Lu Shi chuckled, and seemed to be sighing, "Lu Fei, I hope you know what you want."

"I have always known that what I want is her, but now I can't keep her, so I have to give her freedom." He also smiled, "The best way to imprison a person is to make the prison infinitely large."
