When will the fog clear

Chapter 13
Lin Miao searched for the place as her mother said, just as Lin's mother came out with a hot water bottle, she was taken aback when she saw her daughter, and then pulled her forward distressedly: "Look at your appearance, I told you not to rush You’re not a doctor, and you can’t do anything.” Because her husband was safe after the operation, Mama Lin’s heart was relieved, and she seemed to have a backbone again.

"Mom, what's wrong with my dad now?" Lin Miao asked worriedly.

"Your father fell asleep, the operation was successful, and his leg was saved. The doctor said that he might not be able to walk easily in the future, and his bones would heal slowly at his age... But this is the blessing of the Buddha. His colleague is still in the ICU. Well, it’s even more pitiful, they’re all about to celebrate the festival, so how can such a terrible thing happen?”

Lin Miao clenched her fists and took two steps forward. Looking in through the glass on the door of the ward, her father was lying on the bed with a frown and a pale face. She saw the left leg that had undergone surgery at a glance.

Their family used to live well, they had a house and a car, their father was a construction material worker, and knew a lot of people. They often went to play volleyball with their friends on weekends. Later, they sold everything they could sell, and rarely saw old friends. To live in an old house without an elevator.

Now she still hurt her leg. Although she didn't see it there, and her mother tried her best to downplay it, she felt that her father's appearance when he was injured must be terrible.

She held her mother's hand, hugged her equally thin shoulders tightly, and choked up and said, "Mom, I'm sorry."

Mother Lin touched her head and sighed distressedly: "Silly boy, why do you apologize, it's not your fault."

No, it's all her fault.

Lin Miao's mother was not in good health, and now her father was admitted to the hospital again. Lin Miao was so worried that she could only ask for leave from the studio and run around the hospital and home.She seems to understand why grandma and father wanted a boy back then, but now, it is difficult for her alone to help her father up and wipe himself off. She has to ask the help of a nurse, so her mother asked her to hurry up Find someone.With one more person to rely on, she wouldn't be so difficult. It's a pity that the sea was once too difficult, and she really didn't think about getting married.

Lin's father was reclining on the hospital bed, his injured leg was hanging up, and his body had other bruises, his movements were restricted, but when Lin Miao wanted to feed, his father insisted on eating by himself.Perhaps her stubbornness is also hereditary.

Lin Miao was reading the newspaper to his father, and just happened to read a piece of news about the empty-nest old man who no one cared about.

She sniffed, and suddenly said, "Dad, why don't I come home."

Papa Lin paused holding the bowl, pursed his lips and said, "Didn't you just change jobs? Are you unhappy?"

Lin Miao shook her head: "I want to come back to accompany you."

Father Lin hesitated for a moment, then tilted his body slightly, reached out and rubbed his daughter's hair, and said softly, "I have your mother, and your mother has me, so you don't need to come back."

"Dad, I..." Lin Miao wiped the corners of her eyes.

Mother Lin came in with the doctor who made the rounds, she quickly stood up and retreated to the corner.Looking at her father's old face under the doctor's questioning, Lin Miao felt that she didn't dare to stay any longer.Mother Lin saw that her daughter was not in the right mood, so she asked her husband, "Did you say little girl just now? Why are you crying for her again?" She felt distressed.

Lin's father bent his lips and said, "No, she said she would come back home, and I told her not to do so."

"Why didn't you agree to her? I've long thought of her coming back. It's really worrying that a girl is outside, and it's not good to eat..." Mother Lin began to think about it.

"Come back and face us two old ones every day?" Papa Lin moved, as if he had pulled the wound, and gritted his teeth in pain, "Didn't you see that after she changed her job, she often called home, she spoke more easily and looked better Is it? I heard that she is doing music, she has always wanted to do that kind of thing, I sent her to learn the piano since Douding was a little older..." As she was talking, she couldn't continue.

"Yes." Mother Lin nodded and sighed again, "They say you shouldn't be too strict with Xiaonan, she's always afraid of you, so she's not considerate, in fact, you love her so much."

"My Lin Huailiang's daughter, I don't love her, who else loves her?" Papa Lin said, hiding the difficulty in his eyes with a flat tone.

His little daughter is suffering too much. As parents, they can only suffer with her.Before Lin's father recovered quickly, he drove his daughter back to the city, saying in multiple voices that he was fine and that he was fine.Lin Miao was reluctant to let go, and repeatedly asked the hourly nurse to take care of his father, and then reluctantly returned to the city, saying that he would go home as soon as he had a rest.

At this time, Jiang Hang had already returned from a business trip abroad. He heard that he had a lot of creative inspiration. The atmosphere in the studio was quite good, and Lin Miao cheered up and started to do his own thing.

When Jiang Hang appeared in the studio, Lin Miao was called to his office.

"How is your father?" Jiang Hang looked at Lin Miao who was sitting at the desk, and asked with concern, "Is there any help?"

Lin Miao smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern, I'm much better now, but this time I hurt my leg, and I need to continue to do physical rehabilitation in the future."

"That's good, just tell me if you want to go back, there are not too many rules here, you know." Jiang Hang knocked on the table, thought for a while and asked, "There is one more thing, I want to hear from you How should I say it, I will speak more directly, I hope you don't mind, Lin Miao."

Lin Miao nodded. Seeing that Jiang Hang suddenly became serious, she felt a little nervous.

Jiang Hang asked her: "Do you know Chen Jiti?" Sure enough, it was very direct and sharp. It seemed that this was no longer a question, but a verification.

Lin Miao asked carefully, "Why do you say that?"

"Xiao Zhang said that he saw Chen Jizhen's car coming to pick you up in Hengdian, and... I found out later that he is the brother of your classmate. We have contacted him several times, but you never mentioned it to me."

"This kind of thing... I don't know how to tell you." Lin Miao smiled helplessly, her eyes were a little confused.

Jiang Hang said with a stern face: "Of course I have to say, then I will know how to arrange it so that you don't need to contact him, or you and him... He threatened you with that incident?"

Lin Miao raised her eyes, shook her head quickly and said, "No, no, it's just that it was too late that day and I couldn't borrow a car. Mr. Chen happened to be there and gave me a ride on the way, and in his capacity, there is no need to threaten me..."

"That's right, that person is rich and powerful, why bother? But you don't feel good when you see him. I told you about your past, I won't ask more questions, but I will try to arrange other people to contact TK in the future. You stay in the studio, how do you feel?"

Lin Miao was grateful for his kindness without going into details, and nodded vigorously.

It may be because of Jiang Hang's tolerance that made Lin Miao more devoted to work, and she was able to compose a short piece of accompaniment, but during the audition, it was still not her piano, someone else helped her try it out, and the effect turned out to be good Even the other party felt that there was a small surprise and said that he would tell Jiang Hang.

In the studio, except for Jiang Hang, no one else knew Lin Miao's experience, thinking that she was invited back to do odd jobs.

Lin Miao still felt that it wasn't good enough, such an immature thing might not catch Jiang Hang's eyes.

Lin Miao still remembered that he owed Chen Jizhen one favor, in fact, more than one, but this was the time he asked her to thank him personally.She still didn't have Chen Jitang's contact information, so she could only trouble Lu Yi again.

Lu Yi answered her calls very politely, and would care about her father's health, but when she asked to have a conversation with Chen Jizhen, Lu Yi said that he was too busy to answer the phone.After three fights, it was always the same. Lin Miao gradually lost the courage to fight again. Maybe Chen Jizhen just said that casually, but he was too serious. Would it make people think that he was unnecessary?
Lin Miao gradually let go of this matter, and the accompaniment to test the waters gave her a good start. In her spare time, she gradually became able to write something, which has never happened in recent years.

She always felt that maybe she could start again, do what she liked, and live the life she wanted to live.

After getting off work and getting off the bus, she walked home through the noisy market as usual.

There is a car parked at the corner, it is difficult to get in here, many cars usually only park at the intersection, otherwise they can only get out when the market closes very late, Lin Miao subconsciously looked at the car that appeared suddenly, originally The sleek black body has been splashed with mud, and no one who lives here can drive a car of this class.

She couldn't see the license plate clearly, but she thought the model was very familiar, and her first reaction was that she was overthinking, but when she looked again, the black window of the car was lowered, allowing her to clearly see the people sitting inside.

Chen Jitang.Lin Miao was taken aback. How could Chen Jiti know this place?Last time he just sent her off the main road... But after thinking about it, he felt relieved, what he wanted to know, wasn't it easy?

She just stood there.He came here specifically to find her?Why?
Chen Jizhen sat in the car and looked at Lin Miao for a while, then opened the door and got out of the car. With long legs, he walked up to her in two or three steps.

He frowned and asked her, "Why do you get off work with this point?"

"Traffic jam during rush hour." Lin Miao replied dumbly, and then asked, "Why are you here?"

"Jiang Hang can come, but I can't?" He chuckled.

Lin Miao's brain still couldn't turn the corner: "What did you say?"

There was almost no distance between Chen Jizhen and her, his breath was on her forehead, he didn't answer her, and quickly changed the subject: "Lu Yi said you were looking for me."

"Well, about last time, I want to thank you for your help." Lin Miao nodded, before she had time to figure out the meaning of his last sentence.I don't know what's going on, but every time she talks to him, she can't seem to use her tongue.

Lin Miao only found out after reading the newspaper recently that his company had made a major breakthrough in the research and development of a new high-tech. The good news made the stock rise accordingly. The male voice effect sitting next to her held his stock. It blossomed, and it quickly appeared in major financial newspapers, saying that Chen Jizhen was young and promising.That day when he rushed back to the meeting, he was afraid that it was because of this matter. It was really kind and righteous to give her a ride at this critical juncture.

Lin Miao felt that she should be more calm. Chen Jizhen did not feel sorry for her.

Chen Jizhen was silent for a while, and then said again: "How do you plan to thank me? Just talking?"

"How come?" Lin Miao looked at him in astonishment, but she didn't have any plans. After a while, she asked cautiously, "How about I treat you to a meal? Where do you like to eat?"

"I just didn't eat, can I go anywhere?" Chen Jiti nodded.

Lin Miao felt that he was very talkative today, pinched the purse in his bag, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I just paid the salary."

Chen Jizhen seemed to have heard some funny joke, so he burst out laughing suddenly, and said softly, "Why haven't I eaten outside? Since you want to thank me, why don't you think I'm sincere by cooking for you yourself? "

Lin Miao was stunned.Standing in front of Lin Miao seemed to be just a man who looked a lot like Chen Jiting. His eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and his tone was gentle, which was completely different from the cold and sharp figure of the past, but the slender and straight figure was clearly him.After hesitating for a while, she said slowly: "I can only cook a little pasta...I know there is a newly opened restaurant with a good reputation, how about I invite you to go there..."

"I can also eat noodles." Chen Jizhen interrupted her, and smiled again.

"But the food I made is really not tasty." Lin Miao's heart sank, and she looked at him quietly, "I'm afraid you will find it hard to swallow."

Chen Jizhen didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh, he stared deeply at her for a while before asking, "You're not me, how do you know how I feel? Lin Miao, do you understand me?"

why should i know youLin Miao retorted in her heart, but she didn't have the guts to say it out.

But she was still not reconciled, and couldn't help whispering: "The place I live in is small and cramped, so it's not convenient to open fire."

Chen Jizhen looked at her with a half-smile, and suddenly waved and said, "Lin Miao, come here." He seemed to call her name directly like this often.

She was startled: "What?"

He took a quick step forward, leaned over and put his face close to her ear and exhaled: "Well, my apartment is quite big, I can do whatever I want, what do you think?"

Mingming's tone was very gentle, but Lin Miao shuddered. She wondered if it was because he was a businessman, so he could always hold people's seven inches very firmly. She had no doubt that as long as she found a reason to refuse, he would will do as he wishes.

Such a pleasing man, but acts like a robber.She didn't want to go to one of his apartments.

Lin Miao just wanted to pay back the favor and send him away, and she didn't want to think about why a busy man would come all the way here just to eat a bowl of noodles.

The air is so hot, summer is really here.Lin Miao took a few steps back and consciously distanced himself from Chen Jizhen, which made him feel better.

"Then please wait here for a while. I'll go to the vegetable market to buy some food. It will be very soon." Lin Miao said so, it would not be so shabby to invite him to eat noodles. There is a farmer's market, and it is very convenient to buy vegetables.

She turned around and was about to leave, when she heard footsteps, she looked back and found that Chen Jiti was following behind her.

Lin Miao may not know that her expression at that time was like a frightened little rabbit, her face was flushed, she looked at him with beautiful jewel-like eyes, she was angry but she didn't dare to show it.

He felt good about himself, completely ignoring her resistance.

Lin Miao clenched her fists, thought for a while, and then walked in another direction. She remembered that there was a supermarket over there. When he saw this, he asked, "Isn't the vegetable market right here? Where are you going?"

Hearing the sound, she first looked up at his three-dimensional facial features, then gradually lowered her head to look at his high-end leather shoes under his straight suit, and finally couldn't help but say harshly: "I guess you don't know, there is a lot of water in the vegetable market. dirty……"

"Lin Miao, I told you that you don't understand me. Why do I have to say it twice every time to remember?" Chen Jizhen began to speak sharply, and followed others to the farmer's market, "Let's go, I can help you check .”

Lin Miao gritted her teeth, didn't she say that eating noodles is fine, so what's the point? Has he ever bought vegetables?She felt that she was still too tender, how could she be better than him?

Now that he doesn't mind, what's the point of being hypocritical, just go with the situation, she has nothing worth his attention, it's just a meal, she comforts herself like this.

Lin Miao used to be very quiet at home. She wanted to play the piano and go to school, and her parents didn't need her to do any housework.

Suddenly living alone, she realized that she had to start over from scratch. What she had learned before was like a moon in the water in the mirror. It would be better to be able to carry two bags of rice or persuade customers to buy more bottles of drinks.

At that time, the money she got was really hard-earned money. At the beginning, she didn’t know how to cook, and instant noodles were her good companions. Later, she would only order food for herself during the holidays, and everything from a small steak How much experience have you experienced when you can make a similar three dishes and one soup after frying?only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.

Lin Miao went to the vegetable market, and it was already a night market, but it was crowded with people, and everyone came to buy vegetables after get off work, so there were still many choices.

She is used to being thrifty, and once she has thought about the dishes in her heart, she starts to pick out stalls one by one, and sometimes bargains with the boss, as if she has forgotten that there is Chen Jitang by her side.

Chen Jiti felt this side of her was new, he just watched silently without saying a word.

When she was about to take the big bag of baby vegetables handed by the proprietress, he took it one step faster than her. The water from the vegetable leaves splashed all over each other, and said in a deep voice, "Let me get it." something.
