Paper rose

Chapter 9 A Handful of Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles (1)
"Bang", there was a soft sound, and the colorful fireworks sounded on the top of the white geese, and layers of paper scraps and petals fell like a rain of flowers.She was startled, and couldn't help but hide in Kang Jian's arms, and the lights in the restaurant were turned on.Applause and laughter came from all directions.

Kang Jian nodded to the crowd with a smile, and led the white geese across the flower gate to the stage.

Kang Yunlin delivered a thank you speech on behalf of the couple's family.

Before getting married, Kang Jian took Bai Yan to the provincial capital to meet his family.For the prospective father-in-law and prospective mother-in-law who are in high positions, Bai Yan is somewhat trembling, although it doesn't show on his face.Kang Jian didn't take her to his house, but took her into Kang Yunlin's office of the provincial government.Kang Yunlin was receiving a visiting group from New Zealand, and he wanted to accompany him for lunch. When he heard that Bai Yan was coming, he asked his secretary to go instead.

Kang Yunlin is a little fatter, his hair has lost a lot of weight, he speaks full of spirit, and some traces of old handsomeness can be vaguely found on his broad face.Kang Jian doesn't quite resemble him, but there is a shadow of Kang Yunlin in every gesture.

The lunch was served at the small hotel of the provincial government, and the dishes were ordered by Kang Yunlin.He gently served Bai Yan with vegetables, and kept asking about Bai Yan's work, as well as Bai Mumei's recent situation, as kind as a respected elder.Bai Yan's previous worries disappeared.

After lunch, Kang Yunlin asked Kang Jian to take Bai Yan home to stay for a few days. Kang Jian said that there were many things in the city and his mother was not at home, so he stayed in the hotel for one night and left tomorrow.

In the evening, Kang Yunlin accompanied the two to a play.After the show ended, he passed the "Old Fengxiang" jewelry store, and Kang Yunlin went in to buy a diamond bracelet for Bai Yan.He also took out a red envelope from his pocket as a gift for the first meeting.Everything is very traditional.

It's a pity that I didn't see Kang Jian's mother, Li Xinxia, ​​who heard that she was in poor health and went to Beijing to recuperate.

Bai Yan asked Kang Jian what was wrong with him, but Kang Jian was answering the phone and didn't hear her clearly, so he didn't answer.

Bai Yan thought that the illness must be serious, because she was absent from the wedding of her only son.

Another thunderous applause interrupted Bai Yan's thoughts.Kang Yunlin's speech was over, and the host invited Bai Mumei to come on stage together.

Bai Yan took a deep breath habitually, and the arm holding Kang Jian trembled.

The noisy human voices suddenly subsided like a sea tide, and the restaurant was as silent as midnight.Bai Mumei wore a black velvet cheongsam with bare arms, a black shawl with gold threads on her body, her hair was tied up behind her head, and an antique gold hairpin was inserted, and she walked away with a half-smile come over.

When she walked in front of Bai Yan, she stopped, touched Bai Yan's face kindly, then hugged Bai Yan extremely reluctantly, tears even glistened in her long and narrow phoenix eyes.

"Kang Jian, take good care of Yanyan." Then, she turned to Kang Jian and told him.

After finishing speaking, she turned around beautifully, and stood beside Kang Yunlin like a bird.

All eyes suddenly turned to that direction.

Kang Yunlin's sharp eyes had soft waves, and the long-lost post movements could not be concealed.

Bai Yan felt that the roles had been specially changed. Tonight's protagonists were Kang Yunlin and Bai Mumei. She and Kang Jian were just their best man and bridesmaid.

I don't know how Kang Jian is, anyway, I am too used to this phenomenon.Where Bai Mumei is present, she can only be the highlight of the audience. Others are just a chair, a table, flowers, plants, and trees to set off her.

Bai Yan rolled his eyes and glanced at Kang Jian.Kang Jian pursed his lips, without any expression on his face, neither happy nor annoyed.

"Yan, your mother is simply Maggie Cheung in "In the Mood for Love", no, it's Zheng Xiuwen in "Song of Everlasting Regret", she is a peerless beauty! Where does she go, can we still live?" Liu Jing accompanied Bai Yan Going to change clothes in the locker room, I was in a mess with emotion.

"Are you envious?" Bai Yan turned around and asked Liu Jing to zip up the back of the long skirt.

Liu Jing froze for a moment, shook her head, and answered honestly: "I still like my mother, your mother is not like a mother." She couldn't think of other words to describe it.

Bai Yan tilted her mouth, raised her head, and the makeup artist touched up her makeup.

Liu Jing's mobile phone text message came from the bag she was carrying, she opened the bag and handed the phone to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan turned on the phone, the number from afar. "Xiaoyan, you must be very beautiful today, but unfortunately I can't see it."

Bai Yan held the phone tremblingly, "Liu Jing, take a picture of me, I have a friend who wants to see what I look like now."

Liu Jing muttered: "Aren't the few remaining friends of yours here?"

Bai Yan didn't answer, but made a happy face, asked Liu Jing to take a photo, and then replied to the number just now.After a while, the text message rang again. There was no language, no expression, only a line of dots.

After changing their clothes, the two of them walked to the restaurant. There was a TV hanging in the corridor, which was broadcasting the weather forecast. Bai Yan stopped, "It's 24 degrees in Chengdu today, it's warmer than Binjiang!" She muttered to herself.

"Want to go to Chengdu for honeymoon?" Liu Jing asked.

Bai Yan shook his head, "There is no honeymoon, Kang Jian will hold the demolition and construction conference of the old city the day after tomorrow, so there is no time."

Liu Jing grinned, "Why do you want to get married if you can't spare time? Dedicate your blood to the party and the country."

Bai Yan blushed, turned around and pinched Liu Jing, "Miss, image, image..."

Liu Jing stuck out her tongue, laughed like a ghost, leaned close to Bai Yan's ear, and blew like blue, "Yan, my little sisters and I gave you a present, you will open it after you enter the bridal chamber!"

Bai Yan smiled shyly, knowing it must be some kind of prank.

The wedding banquet lasted until ten o'clock in the evening. After seeing off all the guests, Bai Yan felt that the two legs were not his own anymore.Bai Mumei was slightly drunk, but luckily she was staying in this hotel, so she didn't need to be seen off.

Bai Yan and Kang Jian went back to their new house in the wedding car.

Kang Jian used to live in the city government guest house. Three months ago, as soon as he established a relationship with Bai Yan, he bought an apartment.The apartment is on the edge of the city. The community is small and quiet, with more than a dozen six-storey buildings located far away among the green lawns.Their home is on the top floor of one of the buildings, a duplex structure, and the living room faces the city's moat.On the other side of the river is a row of farmland, and rows of farm houses can be seen in the distance, which is a bit pastoral.Outside the community, there is a shuttle bus directly to the hospital, and it is convenient for Baiyan to go to work.

The first floor of the new house is the living room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, guest room and so on. In addition to the bedrooms, there is also a study on the second floor.Kang Jian opened up the utility room and the guest room and turned it into a big suite.

At the beginning, Bai Yan was not sure that she would live in such a big house.This is many times higher than her dream.But she is a person who hides everything very deeply, she is happy in her heart, and she will never show a flattered look on her face.

The two walked into the room tiredly, Bai Yan went upstairs to unload, and Kang Jian went into the kitchen to boil water.

"Bai Yan," Kang Jian called to her, "Come here, I have something to say to you."

"Yes, leader!" Bai Yan turned around with a playful smile, and sat down on the sofa next to him, her brows were full of the charm of a little woman.

"It's not how many times I've told you, don't call me the leader." Kang Jian frowned.

"I used to call you Leader Kang, but now I call you Leader. This has a different meaning. Leader Kang is a stranger who is out of reach, while Leader is the closest person. In front of you, I am just a clumsy child. You are capable of leading me in any way, and I am willing to be led by you." She leaned close to Kang Jian, put her arms around his waist, and her warm breath brushed against his neck, "You... don't want to lead me ?"

Kang Jian's dark eyes deepened, and he couldn't help stroking her smiling cheek with his fingers, but he retracted them halfway.

"Bai Yan, sit down, I have something serious to tell you." He cleared his throat uncomfortably.

"Well," Bai Yan snuggled into his arms like a kitten, yawned gracefully, and closed his eyes gently, "I'm tired, let's just say it like this!"

Kang Jian looked at her for a long time, "Bai Yan, don't bring your friends and colleagues to your house casually, let alone promise to do something for others, it's best to keep a distance from Liu Jing and the others. There are guests at home , you are not allowed to talk nonsense outside when you hear something. Whoever asks you for something, think about it before answering. Not everyone who knocks on the door will open it. Look through the cat's eyes and ask what is the matter before opening. Colleagues of the opposite sex don’t talk too casually...what are you doing?"

With his eyes closed, Bai Yan sat up suddenly, his eyes widened, he stretched out his hand and poked his face, blinking, "Are you really the leader of my family?" His expression seemed to be sleepwalking.

"Bai Yan!" Kang Jian felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Bai Yan clapped his hands together, smiling like a flower, and the two dimples on his small face were shining cutely, "You are really my leader, I thought you were the warden just now, your tone is so fierce, you scared me!"

Kang Jian was at a loss for words, his handsome face was pale.

Bai Yan gently pressed a kiss on his face, pursed her lips delicately, and drew circles with her small hands on his chest, "Leader, today is our wedding night, you can only say Miss me, love me, love me, pity me, and... hug me..."

She jumped up, jumped up the stairs like a child, and turned her head mischievously, "Don't put on a straight face, you won't look handsome like this. I'm going to undress, take a shower, and show you in beautiful pajamas. Then I'll put you in the bath Water. Leader, come up after you finish your tea."

Kang Jian's chest was rising and falling rapidly, his Adam's apple was throbbing, and Jun's face was flushed red.

Bai Yan was obviously satisfied with what she saw, humming a song, and went up the stairs with a skip.

Entering the bedroom, I saw a pile of gifts on the floor, the top one was from Liu Jing and the others, the packaging was very gorgeous.Bai Yan took it apart and looked at it, and couldn't help pursing his lips and laughing until his stomach ached.

The box contained all kinds of colorful condoms, including scary orange, purple, and black. If Leader Kang puts them on... Bai Yan closed his eyes and flirted, his toes turned red with shame.

After taking a shower, brushing her hair, she listened carefully to the fact that there was no sound on the stairs. She looked down and saw that there was no sound in the living room or in the kitchen.Bai Yan went downstairs in surprise and heard voices on the balcony, only then did he realize that Kang Jian was answering the phone outside.The glass door leading to the living room was firmly pulled, and he seemed very agitated, waving his hands up and down.

He turned around, met Bai Yan's gaze, was stunned, and hurriedly hung up the phone.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Bai Yan asked thoughtfully.

Kang Jian hesitated for a while, then nodded, "Well, it's a matter of work, I need to... go out and deal with it, Bai Yan... tonight..."

Bai Yan replied seriously: "A moment in the spring night is worth a thousand dollars, but this is not a hardware task. If you can't finish it, you don't need to deduct your salary. But work is a serious matter, which is related to the future of my family leader. I can distinguish the importance. Go to Hurry up, I will lock the door, and I won’t open it no matter if it’s the big bad wolf or the pleasant goat.” As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn’t hold back anymore and burst out laughing.

Kang Jian also laughed, stretched out his hand to stroke her wet hair, and winked, "Then go to bed early, and I will try to come back soon."

"Drive slowly on the road. Oh, wait..." Bai Yan turned his head and rushed into the kitchen, took out a bottle of honey from the refrigerator, picked a spoon and put it in a teacup, then filled it with water, and blew as he walked, "You I drank a lot of wine at night, this one sobers up and soothes my throat."

On the small face, two small dimples flashed again and again, Kang Jian looked at her, as if he had taken a lot of courage to take the teacup, and under her gaze, he drank every drop.

"Then I'm leaving..." His tone was a bit hesitant, as if he wished Bai Yan could stay.

"En!" Bai Yan stood on tiptoe and rubbed against his arms. The soft body that had just taken a bath exuded the soft fragrance of a girl and shower gel. Kang Jian felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling. With difficulty, he opened the door.

When I went downstairs, my mind was full of the twinkling dimples of Bai Yan.

And the white geese in the house somehow remembered Zhang Yimou's old movie "Raise the Red Lantern", the master just married the fourth wife, and was entering the bridal chamber, the maid outside came to report: "Master, the third wife is sick! "

"What disease?"

"Old problem, heartache."

The fourth wife asked obediently: "Is this illness serious?"

The master murmured grumblingly: "Really, no day can make people peaceful." Complaining, he put on his clothes and left with the little girl.

The fourth wife looked at the red candles in a room shaking the house, her expression was in a trance.

Bai Yan looked at himself in the mirror with hazy eyes, and patted himself, how could he think of this?Ah, I must have been drinking too much to be cranky.

She grimaced at the person in the mirror, yawned, and lay down on the huge marriage bed.

Outside the window, the shallow moon is hidden in the clouds, the stars are dim, and the night is getting darker.

Until dawn, Kang Jian did not come back.

Bai Yan rubbed his sleepy eyes, Lao Niu walked downstairs slowly, looked at the empty house, and suddenly felt that having such a big apartment was not a very happy thing.I can't help but think of the small apartment I rented before, with dozens of square meters. Standing outside the door, I can see every corner of the house.Smile and the room is filled with joy.Shed a tear, and the room is full of sadness.Now, she coughed, and it took a while before she heard the echo, which frightened herself suddenly.

It's a pity that Leader Kang has already urged to withdraw the rent of that apartment.

Bai Yan's age does not qualify as late marriage, but the hospital gave her a holiday for late marriage.Before getting married, she had already taken a week off to buy this and that, and counting from today, she could still take a week off.

Leader Kang is busy, and we still have to squeeze out time for getting married, and then there will be this meeting and that meeting, and maybe a business trip.

Bai Yan thought, if he had to go back to work in the hospital, he would stay in the room alone, looking at his nose and mouth, mouth to heart, with his body and shadow, and it would be boring.

I lazily went to the kitchen to pour myself a glass of water, opened the refrigerator, wanted to cook something, and listened to the non-stop ringing of the landline in the living room.

She dropped the water glass and hurried over to pick it up.

"Yanyan, are you up yet?" Kang Yunlin asked gently at the other end of the wire.

As soon as Bai Yan closed her eyes, it was broken. She forgot that there were two elderly people living in the hotel, and she agreed to go to have breakfast with them today.

"Dad...Dad," the sound made Bai Yan break out in sweat, and he couldn't help standing up, turning his head to the side, taking a deep breath, taking a deep breath, feeling calmer, before continuing, "I'll be right there."

"Don't worry, take your time on the road, your mother and I will have some tea first."

"Okay, okay." Bai Yan nodded hastily, put down the phone, and rushed upstairs.In order to get married, I added a few expensive skirts.In May, when it is slightly warmer and slightly cooler, a dress will do.She put on light makeup, straightened her hair, and went out.

After leaving the community, I stopped the taxi.As soon as he got in the car, he hurriedly dialed Kang Jian's cell phone.

"The number you dialed is not in the service area." Bai Yan looked at the phone, a little silly, could it be possible that Leader Cheng Kang went abroad overnight?
The car soon arrived at the hotel, Bai Yan walked into the lobby, glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was ten past eight.Wiping the thin beads of sweat on his forehead, fortunately, it's not too late for breakfast.

In the breakfast room, there were few customers left.As soon as Bai Yan raised his eyes, he saw Kang Yunlin and Bai Mumei.

It should be said that Bai Mumei's dress today is very suitable for her age, strong and generous.But this is the same as when a little girl wears dark-colored clothes, which further highlights her own advantages. People around her will naturally show surprise on their faces.Kang Yunlin was not wearing formal clothes, but a shirt with dark patterns, loose beige slacks, and his brows were full of spirit.As soon as the two of them sat there, a familiar melody "The most beautiful is the red sunset..." echoed in Bai Yan's mind.

"Yanyan, why are you here alone?" Bai Mumei continued her decent image of a loving mother last night, and asked with concern, "Where's Kang Jian?"

Bai Yan shook her head and sat down at the table, "I drank too much last night, and I haven't sobered up yet..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Kang Yunlin, who was facing the restaurant's door, staring in surprise.

"Kang Jian!"

The corner of Bai Yan's mouth curled into a self-deprecating smile.

"Yanyan deliberately teased us, look, Kang Jian is not coming...Kang Jian?" Bai Mumei took a delicate breath.
