The shimmering lost dusty summer

Chapter 10
Please allow me to settle the dust and bury the past with silence.

1. ten years
Ten years, exactly ten years.

Wu Qi.

He parked the car at the door of the well-known jewelry store and got out of the car.

Today he is going to do a big thing, something related to his happiness in this life.

The waiter handed him a blue velvet box: "Mr. Wu, check if you are satisfied."

Wu Qi opened it, a bright light overflowed, and a smile appeared on his handsome face at the same time: "Is it according to her size?" He asked the waiter.

The waiter nodded: "Mr. Wu, please rest assured."

"Okay!" Wu Qi closed the box, looking high-spirited, and said to the smiling waiter, "Wish me success."

Wu Zheng.

Hang up the phone, thoughtful.

Proposal?

Just now Wu Qi told him on the phone that he was going to propose to Nuan Feng.

He looked up at the TV hanging on the wall in the intensive care unit, which was broadcasting a football game. His eyes were fixed on one of them, and he took a long time to look away.

Are you proposing?
The guy finally made his move.

Nuanfeng entered A University a year later than him. Why he missed the college entrance examination ten years ago is still a mystery.

Therefore, Nuan Feng and Wu Qi's school life was only two years, and in these two years, excluding Nuan Feng's full part-time job and Wu Qi's internship time in his senior year, it was actually just over a year.

After that summer, Nuanfeng became much more silent, and she didn’t have any smiles for a long time. She spent all her time studying and working in college, and she hardly had any contact with boys in school, and Wu Qi’s pursuit of her was similar. Spent all his college years.

He asked Wu Qi: "When did you fall in love with the warm air?"

Wu Qi's answer was: "On your birthday, I thought you were chasing him."

Thought he was chasing her?That's right, what he had thought about before was just... He looked up at the electrocardiogram machine next to the bed and smiled wryly.

Hope it works, he prayed inwardly.

warm air.

I looked at the clock in the lower right corner of the computer, and it was already past the off-duty time.

It's over. I made an appointment with Wu Qi. He doesn't like to be late the most. She has been told several times. She quickly picked up her bag, and then saw that her colleague Xiao Jiang was already watching a football game on the Internet.

In the past few days of the NBA league, as a girl, she likes to watch basketball the most, because the game is usually in the morning, and the boss is not convenient at that time, so she watches the online recording and broadcasting in the company after work.

"Xiao Jiang, I'm leaving, don't you go home and watch?" Nuan Feng said.

"My family's broken net will be stuck. It's safe, Nuanfeng, go and meet your lover." Xiao Jiang didn't raise his head, but waved at her.

Nuanfeng smiled and took his bag out.

She is now the financial team leader of a foreign-funded enterprise. Although she is the team leader, there are only her and Xiao Jiang. They are responsible for financial accounting and other things, which are managed by the financial manager. I'll be very busy, but there's nothing I can do about it, because I have to worry about sharing finances.

After leaving the company, the street was full of people. She knew that it was impossible to hail a taxi at this time, especially in this place full of office buildings.

Fortunately, there is a subway, although it is a bit crowded, but at least there will be no traffic jams or other problems.

She called Wu Qi and said that she would arrive later, and went to the subway.

Wu Qi, in fact, I almost forgot about this person after meeting him once on Wu Zheng's birthday, and then I met him again in college, and I remembered him only after Wu Zheng's introduction.

Until now, Nuanfeng still feels that she and Wu Zheng are not suitable for many things, such as family background, such as views on many things, she can't explain why she finally agreed to his pursuit, maybe it was a sentence from her mother: I see Wu Qi is pretty good, that’s not the case between men and women, no one is born to be suitable for another person, you have to get to know and grind slowly, he has been chasing you for so long, I think it’s almost the same.

In college, most people are happy and sad about love, but she doesn't have this time, all the time is occupied by study and part-time job, she never thought about what the so-called love is, whether it is really like those classmates showed that sometimes they are happy and sometimes sad ?It's still meaningless like everyone lost their love when they graduated.

So she is more willing to believe that the so-called love is actually short-lived, and more, as her mother said, it is almost the same, and then slowly understand and grind.

She doesn't think it would be better to change someone than Wu Qi, and she doesn't want to find that short-lived love that is full of joy and sorrow. For her, real life is like she is now, working hard, treating people seriously, and then finding love. A man who treats her well will marry and have children.

Wu Qi is that man.

There were a lot of people in the subway station, and there was a long queue at every door. She hung up the phone and waited patiently for the train with her head down, not noticing that several men cast amazed glances at her.

Because of practicing dancing when she was a child, her body shape is very well-proportioned, and her skin is fair, and her facial features are really beautiful, so she always attracts some attention, but in Xiao Jiang's words, it is not the key to being beautiful, the key is her She has a femininity that makes men flock to her. Even a woman like her wants to kiss Fangze. This is of course a joke, but it is undeniable that when she first joined the company, many men wanted to chase her, but after Wu It took a few months to stand guard at the entrance of the company before the men gave up their thoughts.

Maybe she's used to it, just like how many boys paid attention to her in school, she didn't have the so-called secret love and vanity, she just waited indifferently for the car.

With 2 minutes left, she glanced at the bus time displayed on the overhead monitor, and when she lowered her head, she heard the excited cries of the girls next to her.

"Ding Yu, look quickly, it's Ding Yu."

Hearing this name, she was startled suddenly, and subconsciously looked in the direction the girls pointed.

Still on the monitor, the latest news is being broadcast.

The tall and tall Ding Yu, with his hair cut very short, wore a No. [-] jersey, and many microphones were facing him at the same time. She couldn't hear what he was saying, because the sound of the monitor was covered by the surrounding sounds, but she could see clearly. The following words were written: Ding Yu, the season is over this month, and he is going to return to China for treatment.

return home?Nuan Feng subconsciously panicked.

He's finally coming back.

The incoming train came slowly with a gust of hot wind, and the warm wind stared at the screen without moving.

It was that day that he disappeared, was beaten to the ground by his mother, woke up and was scolded by his mother, and disappeared without a trace.

The mother said that he went to live in the city with his second uncle, and she had no news of him in the next few years, until five years ago, she saw him again on TV, a professional player of a certain American team.

In the past five years, he has made great military achievements, and everyone in the country knows him, but she only regards him as someone she does not know, and she will not look at or listen to him even if he is brilliant.

I always thought that even though he often appeared in my eyes and ears, he was actually far away from me, but now, he is coming back.

She didn't know what she was panicking about, maybe she only saw it on TV when she came back, the city is so big, there is no such a coincidence in the world, besides, she also believed that even if he came back, he would not appear in front of her and her mother .

The door of the train opened, and a large group of people got off the train. The crowd moved forward, and she followed blankly.

Wu Qi felt that Nuan Feng was a little absent-minded. The dishes were almost ready, and she didn't take a few bites. The blue velvet box was still in his pocket. Seeing Nuan Feng's current state, he considered whether to change the time.

"What's wrong with you today?" He gave her the meat next to the eye of the steamed fish that had just been served.

Nuanfeng looked at the fish in the bowl, and thought of Ding Yu in the past. If there was something delicious, it would always go into his stomach, not to mention the meat next to the fish eye. She looked up at Wu Qi, he was still the same She is meticulous, her hair is neatly combed, and she is dressed in a high-end suit. She looks handsome and energetic. She felt a little unapproachable to him at first, and she didn't think he would take a fancy to a girl like her who came from a single parent and had a poor family background. , but he was serious and chased her for more than two years without any discouragement.

"It's nothing." She replied, and gave him the meat from the other side of the fish's eye.

Wu Qi happily ate the fish. When he looked up, he saw Nuanfeng's hands. It may be because of doing housework since he was a child. Nuanfeng's hands are not particularly slender and tender. This is a pity he feels every time he sees it. She didn't mind her place, but she didn't mind, she reached out and took her hand and held it in her hand: "But you have something on your face."

"What about now?" Nuanfeng didn't want to tell him that it was because of Ding Yu, maybe he didn't know that she had a younger brother named Ding Yu at all, so he just smiled at him, and his pink face was special because of this smile beauty.

Wu Qi was startled, then laughed, grabbed her hand and kissed it on his lips, reluctant to kiss her again.

The warm wind struggled, and the other finger pointed at the people around him, his face flushed slightly.

Wu Qi smiled, and did not let go of her hand. With his free hand, he took out the blue velvet box from his pocket and put it in her hand: "Open it and have a look."

Nuan Feng stared at the box for a long time before reaching out to open it. It was a ring.

"Actually, I should choose a romantic French restaurant, which has enough atmosphere, but this is the first time I asked you to come out to eat with me. I think it is my blessed place, so I hope it can also bring me today. Good luck," Wu Qi looked at her and said seriously, "Miss Qin Nuanfeng, please marry me."

Nuan Feng looked at the child ring without moving.

In fact, this is just a matter of course.

Nuanfeng didn't know what she was hesitating about, but when Wu Qi said that she would marry me, she really didn't have the urge to agree right away, either because she was too touched, or because she was surprised, or just because she was stupid.

They have been in love for two years. In Xiaojiang's words, they are old couples. They have already known how much the other party has inside and out. She, as long as she blinks, she will know what fart he is farting. too familiar.

But what about him and Wu Qi?It seems that he always respects each other like a bridesmaid, just like the suit he is wearing now, although it is gorgeous, it seems alienated. She always only sees his perfect side, but never knows what kind of embarrassment or embarrassment he has, just like he looks at her. I will always say that you are the lover of my dreams, but I don't know what kind of painful price this dream lover has paid in nearly ten years of compensation for killing someone else's father because of his willfulness?
So, can we get married?
She suddenly became confused. She accepted the relationship, but forgot that the other end of the relationship was marriage. Just like she was hesitating whether to accept Wu Qi at that time, she is now hesitating whether to accept the marriage proposal.

"Nuanfeng?" Wu Qi looked at Nuanfeng in a daze, feeling that the arrogance just now fell to the bottom, "Is there any problem? I still think I'm not good enough?"

"No, it's not," Nuan Feng came back to his senses, looked at Wu Qi, and thought for a while, "It's too sudden, can you let me think about it." He said and put the ring in his hand on the table.

Wu Qi looked at the ring, his eyes dimmed, and he said after a while: "Okay, think about it, I am indeed too hasty."

After a hard meal, Wu Qicai took the ring away before leaving and sent warm air home.

The place where Nuanfeng lives is close to the suburbs, but he rented it because the rent was cheap at that time. Later, the subway was connected and it was much more convenient to go to work, so he has lived there until now and has not moved.

Wu Qi's car got on the elevated road, because it wasn't the time for commuting, so the road conditions were good. At this time, both of them were a little bored. Wu Qi turned on the radio, tuned back and forth, and listened to the music for a while, singing nothing more than You Love Me Something, he turned it off a little irritably, and finally stopped at the sports station, letting the host and guests inside talk nonsense.

Therefore, Nuanfeng easily heard Ding Yu's news again, talking about how he played today, and how his proud jumping ability was threatened due to old injuries.

Nuan Feng listened silently, stretched out his hand for a while, took Wu Qi's hand holding the steering wheel, and said softly: "I'm sorry."

Wu Qi froze for a moment, turned to look at her, and smiled: "There is no need to say sorry for this kind of thing, besides, you didn't abandon me, you just didn't think about it, right?"

Nuan Feng nodded, retracted his hand, looked at the street lights flashing by quickly outside the car window, and suddenly thought to himself, maybe we should accept it just now, love is like this, why should marriage be difficult?

After Wu Qi sent Nuanfeng home, he drove to the hospital where Wu Zheng was, and was hospitalized again. Wu Zheng asked not to tell Nuanfeng.

It was already late when he arrived at the hospital. He thought Wu Zheng should have fallen asleep, but the lights in his single room were still on, and he was leaning on the bed and reading.

"I thought you would at least be more honest if you were a patient." Wu Qi closed the door casually and looked at Wu Zheng on the bed.

Wu Zheng didn't realize that someone came in. He heard the voice and saw that it was Wu Qi. He smiled, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, pointed to the book in his hand and said: "This book about atomic mechanics is especially good. Read it." Gotta forget the time."

"You're just a nerd." Wu Zheng sat down beside his bed, took an apple and tossed it in his hand and caught it again, without saying a word.

Wu Zheng looked at him for a while, knowing it well, and said, "Failed?"

Wu Qi stopped tossing the apple, didn't speak, and continued to toss it again.

Wu Zheng still smiled: "From childhood to adulthood, it's the first setback. Congratulations."

Wu Zheng stopped and looked at the apple in his hand. He wanted to take a bite, but thought that the apple might not have been washed, so he held it in his hand and said, "Are you just making fun of me? Don't you want to comfort me?"

"How to comfort?"

"Like playing chess with me."

Wu Zheng scratched his head in pain. Brother Tang was like his father. When he was young, he came to his house to play chess with his father. He heard from his father that his strength should not be underestimated. Now that his father is old, he is often caught playing chess. , Said that the son inherited the father's business.

The two set up the chessboard and played one piece at a time. Although Wu Zheng didn't like playing chess very much, his chess skills were not bad. He walked a few steps with Wu Qi and was evenly matched. Wu Zheng obviously felt that Wu Qi was a little absent-minded and played chess faster than It was much slower before, and he didn't rush, just went at his speed.

Going down to the dangerous place, Wu Qi was obsessed with meditating, but suddenly he leaned back on the chair like he was out of breath, and said to Wu Qi suddenly: "I think she has something on her mind, but I don't know what it is?"

"Warm air?" Wu Zheng glanced at him.

Wu Qi nodded: "I felt it when I saw her again in college. I thought that I would gradually understand it after a long time, but sometimes I can't figure out what she is thinking?"

"You think she didn't accept it because of this reason?"

"I don't know," Wu Qi looked at Wu Zheng and said, "You knew her earlier than me, and you are her best friend. There are some things you should know better than me."

Wu Qi put down the chess in his hand, leaned back to relieve the pressure on his heart, and thought for a while: "Wuanfeng is very good, he is very tolerant in many things, and he will not complain to anyone easily, so sometimes people don't know What is she thinking?"

"But I'm his boyfriend. After two years of dating, she can't open her heart to me?"

"That's your problem," Wu Zheng looked at him, "It means you're not doing well enough."

"Me?" Wu Qi pointed at himself and paused, "Where am I not good enough?"

Wu Zheng didn't answer, picked up a chess piece and made a move: "I shouldn't say this." While speaking, he ate several of Wu Qi's chess pieces.

2. Goodbye
It was the busiest few days of the month again, and Nuan Feng looked at a large number of reports sent from the headquarters, and started to do one by one.Originally in this situation, my colleague Xiao Jiang should have been complaining over there, but today he was in a good mood, humming a song, shaking his head while making a watch.

Nuan Feng looked at her through the computer, just smiled and didn't care.

She and Xiaojiang are actually about the same age, but their personalities are very different. Xiaojiang is heartless and doesn't care about anything, but Nuanfeng is mature and stable, and he does things properly, but it is undeniable that Nuanfeng I still like this Xiaojiang very much, and when I am with her, my mood will be much better, so every time Xiaojiang makes a mistake carelessly, she never says anything, just correct it for her.

"Nanfeng, do you know that Ding Yu is going back to China today?" After playing for a long time, Xiao Jiang finally couldn't help it, and said to Nuanfeng.

The fingers of the warm air sliding the mouse stopped.

"It's the one who plays basketball, the super handsome one." Thinking that Nuan Feng didn't know, Xiao Jiang explained over there dancing, "The one on my computer desktop."

Compared with Xiao Jiang's excitement, Nuan Feng stared blankly at the computer screen, and after a while he responded: "Ah, I know him."
