all the mornings

Chapter 7 The Golden Girl (3)
She heard the sound and came in, turned on the light, and looked at him with a smile.Seeing her smile, he forgot any grievances or unhappiness, stretched out his hand to her and said, "Come here."

She shook her head and said with a smile: "I asked someone to bring the meat and bone porridge. It's still hot. Let's have a bowl."

When he heard that there was meat and bone porridge, he suddenly felt hungry. He was about to get up when he remembered that he was naked.

She pursed her lips into a smile, and the rice nest at the corner of her mouth flickered, "I have someone take your clothes for dry cleaning, and they will be delivered later. You can put on my bathrobe first. It's in the bathroom."

She smiled and closed the bedroom door so he could get out of bed and get dressed.When she woke up, her whole person was different, talking and laughing, and caring for others.It seems that she really didn't have a good rest on the plane, she was really tired.Thinking of how he almost left in anger just now, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Most of the decisions made on impulse are made in a daze.That time he restrained himself and did not leave angrily, paving the way for what happened to them later.But why did he make an impulsive mistake later?Impulse is the devil.

Li Sichuan still remembered that that day after he finished eating the meat and bone porridge, the washed and ironed clothes were delivered to him.He went to change it in a polite manner, said a few words to Xiaoyu, and then left quickly... The past was vivid in his memory, and now that he thinks about it, he really sighs that the present is not as good as it used to be.He was just a boyfriend back then, and there was clean clothes and warm porridge waiting for him.Now he is not even qualified to be her servant.

He managed to meet her last night, got in her car, went back to her home, and relived his old dreams, but in the end he screwed up again.

Li Sichuan left her mansion angrily, took a taxi back to the hotel parking lot to pick up the car, and drove to her apartment.While waiting for the red light on the road, he took out his mobile phone and dialed her number.It turned out that the number he was familiar with didn't know if she was still using it. He couldn't wait to see more, and the light was changed again. He only had time to shout into the phone: "Huo Xiaoyu, I'm not Li Yi, you are!" Feeling better, I turned off the call button, threw it aside, and continued driving.

After a while, the phone rang.He glanced at the number on the caller ID, it was the one he dialed just now, and he answered it right away, regardless of safety.Only after "Hello", the grievance in my heart seemed to climb up the phone along with his sigh and pass it to her ears.

"Did you call just now?" Xiao Yu asked. "What did you say, I didn't catch you and hung up. Where are you now?"

Hearing that she still cared about him, Li Sichuan's heart softened.He wished that the speeding car would turn around and go back, holding her and crying.

"Xiao Yu." In the midst of the traffic on the viaduct, an inexplicable sadness hit his heart, and he wanted to tell her. "Xiao Yu, your surname is not Huo, and I am not Li Yi."

"I know, I know, are you in the car? Are you on the road? Can you turn off the phone, it's too dangerous." Xiao Yu didn't face him, but she cared about his life again.

Li Sichuan didn't care, he accused her angrily, "You don't care, you just wish I could die."

"I'll hang up first, you concentrate on driving." Xiaoyu heard his mother-in-law's words, showing a hint of displeasure in her tone.

"Xiaoyu, the meat and bone porridge is delicious. I want to eat it for the rest of my life, but you are closed." Li Sichuan hung up before she could speak.

"The meat and bone porridge is delicious, I want to eat it for the rest of my life."

Li Sichuan left Xiaoyu's boudoir in the middle of the night and sent such a text message to her cell phone.He didn't know if she had received it, because she never replied to this text message.

The next day, Li Sichuan invited her to see the ancient Indian sculpture exhibition at the National Expo.There are not many sculptures on display at the exhibition, but there is the famous bronze statue of Lord Shiva.Xiao Yu stood in front of the bronze statue for a long time, as if trying to trace it in her heart.

Li Sichuan focused his attention on other ancient Indian temple buildings with marble statues.The two walked and stood, each quietly admiring the details they liked.After a while, he went back to look for her, and she was still standing in front of the idol, staring at her with a smile on her lips, as if she saw the idol come alive, dancing in front of her, and she was having a visual conversation with the dancing god.

"Very beautiful, isn't it?" Li Sichuan asked softly.

"Yeah." Xiao Yu exclaimed happily, "It's so beautiful. I really want to sit in front of him and watch him dance for a century."

"If you are willing, I will accompany you to travel to India in the future." Li Sichuan seduced her.

She didn't pay attention to what he said, just immersed in her own thoughts.

"This is a collection of the V&A Museum. I saw it once before. I was too young to understand its beauty. I just took a rough look around and looked at everything, trying to see everything in the collection. I will go there later. , this statue is no longer there, and it was said that it was exhibited in another country. Only then did I know what regret is. I could go there anytime, but I had to delay until that day, and then I missed it. I missed it for so many years. Fortunately, you invited me here today, I didn't even dare to expect to meet him here."

Li Sichuan listened, and said "Yes", agreeing.

Xiaoyu added, "Actually, when looking at the exhibition, it is enough to be satisfied with a certain exhibit that I like, and I really don't need to read it all over. It's a pity that I didn't understand it at that time."

Li Sichuan couldn't agree more with this sentence, but what he asked was: "Have you lived in London for a long time?"

After Li Sichuan asked, afraid she might misunderstand, he explained: "I got the conclusion from what you said just now."

"I went to university there." Xiao Yu replied.

"Learn what?"

"Arts and jewelry design." She smiled back at him, raised her wrist, and brightened her bracelet.The red gold bracelet is hollowed out with flowers and leaves inlaid with emeralds, it is very gorgeous.

Li Sichuan held her hand up to admire, "It's beautiful, did you design it? What about the ones you wore before? They were all designed by you, too?"

Xiao Yu nodded triumphantly, pulled him to look around the exhibition area again, and said that he was hungry and wanted to eat.

Li Sichuan took her to a Southeast Asian restaurant that he had always liked.

As soon as the two entered, they saw his parents in the lobby. They were sitting at a table for four people, raising their hands to call the waiter to order. They met Li Sichuan's face and called him by name.

Li Sichuan was taken aback, so he had to go over to say hello, and said, "What a coincidence, you are eating here too. This is my friend Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu, this is my parents."

Li Sichuan's mother first spoke with a smile on her face, "Xiaoyu? It's a nice name, what's your surname?"

Mrs. Li's hair is curly perm, her eyebrows are light and her eyes are thin, and she is very well dressed.She greeted the girl brought by her son first, then turned her head and said to her son reproachfully: "Look at you, you don't even give out all the names when you introduce friends."

"What a coincidence, do you want to eat together? We haven't ordered yet." Li Sichuan's father asked.Mr. Li's hair is half gray, his body is still straight, and his appearance is very similar to Li Sichuan.

"A few days ago, I heard you talking about the ancient Indian sculpture exhibition here, so I dragged your mother here. Your mother has to go out for a long time, changing clothes and blowing hair. It's already time for dinner when you arrive here , we decided to go to see it after dinner. Have you already watched it?”

"We're done."

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Li Sichuan said helplessly: "Her surname is Huo, and her name is Huo Xiaoyu. Huo Xiaoyu's Huo, Huo Xiaoyu's Xiao, Huo Xiaoyu's Yu is next to a gold letter. You see, why don't I say my surname? understood."

Hearing his introduction, both Mr. Li and Mrs. Li laughed.Mrs. Li scolded with a smile: "What nonsense! How can you be like this. Xiao Yu, my son is spoiled by me. He speaks indiscriminately and is crazy. Just ignore him."

"Okay, I'll ignore him." Xiaoyu said politely with a smile on her face: "Mrs. Li, Mr. Li, please sit comfortably, so I won't disturb your meal." After she finished speaking, she nodded and smiled politely , while signaling the waiter to continue leading the way.

Li Sichuan was taken aback again, and hurriedly bent over and said to his parents: "I'll go over there to accompany Xiaoyu, you guys eat slowly." Then he followed Xiaoyu and the leading lady into the private room.

After sitting down, Li Sichuan wanted to explain - he was afraid that Xiaoyu would misunderstand that this was his prior arrangement.

Xiao Yu smiled at him and said, "Let's order first, I'm starving."

The male waiter came in to order, Xiao Yu said two things, and asked Li Sichuan to order.Li Sichuan felt a little tight in his chest, ordered two at random, and when the waiter took the menu and left, he said, "Xiao Yu."

He still wants to explain that this is not his arrangement, he is not so boring, let his parents come to see his girlfriend who has not yet established a relationship, and comment on other girls.

"Ah, what?" Xiaoyu asked.

"It's nothing," Li Sichuan said out of nowhere, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't make fun of your name."

"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it." Xiao Yu said generously, "Actually, Xiao Yu is my nickname, and my surname is not Huo. I was joking with you before, so I should apologize."

"What?" Li Sichuan said in surprise: "I always thought your surname was Huo, and your name was Xiaoyu. When I asked you the other day, you said that your name was Huo Xiaoyu, Jinyu's Yu. Didn't you? Or did I hear it wrong all along?"

Xiao Yu smiled, took off the bracelet on her wrist and handed it to him, "Look at the words inside, that's my name."

Li Sichuan took the bracelet, turned to face the light and looked at a small chiseled seal in the inner ring, on which were two seal characters.

"Golden Yu?"

Xiao Yu shook her head and smiled, "It's not Jin Yu, it's Yu Jin."

"Your name is Yu and Jin?" Li Sichuan asked, and then he laughed, "So I misheard, your friend called you Xiaoyu, but I understood it as Xiaoyu. Then I asked if your surname is Huo, and you Do not deny."

Xiao Yu blinked, pretending to be ignorant and said: "Why should I deny such an interesting thing? I don't have the opportunity to be asked every day if I am Huo Xiaoyu. Besides, the person who asked is still surnamed Li."

Li Sichuan was overwhelmed by her occasional playfulness, he was as happy as an idiot, "Anyway, you misled me on purpose."

"Not reconciled?" Xiao Yu asked with a half-smile at him.

"I can't ask for it." Li Sichuan said: "It's not every day that there is a chance that a beautiful girl will cooperate with me in singing."

"Yeah, it's a drama, and life is like a drama." Xiaoyu was not angry when he said that all of this was acting, but said with a smile: "'Xiaoyu? Is your surname Huo? My surname happens to be Li'."

When Li Sichuan heard her talking about his accusation words at that time, his brazenness made him ashamed.Half forgiving and half proud, he said, "I drank too much that day, and I performed supernormally. I'm not usually so quick-witted, but you inspired me."

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "It's a very good opening, I like it." She rolled her eyes, her eyes flowing, and she pursed her lips into a smile, revealing two small dimples at the corners of her mouth.

Li Sichuan's heart felt tense, his mouth became dry and his lips were dry.He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then changed the subject and said, "Your name sounds nice. Yu Jin, the combination of these two characters is not vulgar at all, but it has a strange and unique character. The surname is good, and the name is also good. Let Xiaoyu be your character, not just a nickname. The last name is Yu and the gold character is Xiaoyu, and Yu is a character of alloy inlaid jade. Who gave you this name?" He returned the bracelet to her.

Xiao Yu took it over and put it on, and twirled the bracelet with the other hand to admire, "My mother."

At this time, the waiter brought appetizers and wine, Li Sichuan waited for him to leave, raised his glass, "I wish your mother health."

Xiao Yu also raised her wine glass to touch him and said, "For your."

Li Sichuan thought that English is sometimes so tricky, how appropriate to use a sentence of English at this time, avoiding the embarrassment caused by their accidental encounter with his parents.

"Then I'll call you Xiaoyu from now on," Li Sichuan said, "I'm used to it."

"Okay, I'm used to it too." Xiaoyu put down his wine glass, "In the exhibition hall just now, there was a statue of the Hindu goddess Durga killing the buffalo demon. There is an interesting phenomenon here, do you want to know? ?”

"What do you think."

"There was a demon called Mosesa, who turned into a buffalo to cause disaster. All the gods were afraid of him. The goddess Durga first cut off the head of the buffalo, and the buffalo turned back into Mosesa. Durga cut off the head of Mosesa. Then The statue is Durga holding a weapon with his eight arms raised, stepping on a buffalo with one foot and catching a monster with the other hand. The head of the buffalo is next to the body of the buffalo." Xiao Yu said with her chin in her hand, "I find it very strange that the buffalo is not Has it changed back to Moses? Why do these two images appear at the same time?"

"One is an illusion and the other is an entity?" Li Sichuan said, "Otherwise, how should we express it? Draw a puff of smoke under the buffalo's body?"

"The Chinese would think that this buffalo can fly through the clouds." Xiao Yu said solemnly.

"It's not surprising that buffaloes can ride clouds and fog. The blue bulls ridden by Taishang Laojun must have this ability. However, I suddenly felt that the ultimate direction of this story will be the bull devil fighting the iron fan princess?" Li Sichuan asked with a smile .

Xiao Yu praised his idea, "Since Hanuman is the Monkey King, why can't Moses be the Bull Demon King? But Durga is another image of Shiva's wife, the Snow Mountain Goddess. You messed up the mandarin ducks." .”

"It seems that it is really necessary to go to India once. You go to see Shiva and I go to Taj." Li Sichuan said, "When do you have a vacation?"

"Me?" Xiaoyu said, the waiter brought the dishes, and she moved her chopsticks. "I'm available anytime, I work for myself and I don't have time constraints."

It was only later that Li Sichuan understood what Xiaoyu meant by working for herself.He didn't know until he knew it. She said it too lightly.

The party that night hadn't broken up until early morning.The guests were either sitting or lying down, all sleeping in disorder.Xiao Yu ignored the guests in the room, and left with Li Sichuan to find porridge on the street outside.

Li Sichuan was once again surprised by her willfulness and unruliness.He too used to be a party bug when he was younger, and attended all kinds of messy parties.But the host ran away and let the guests do their own thing, which is still very rare.Even if there is, the student dormitory cannot be compared with her house.

So he asked: "You don't care about your guests?"

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "What do they do? They will leave naturally when they wake up."

Li Sichuan also laughed, and said: "I'm afraid you don't know many of the guests. Why did you think of having a party? You didn't even call me. I didn't hear you mention it when we parted this afternoon, or I would have come here long ago."

"That's natural. Who can meet all the guests at a party? It's just to eat and drink, to join in the fun." Xiaoyu said, "Didn't I call you?"

"It doesn't count this time." Li Sichuan felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of the people rolling into a pile on the sofa.It's not that he has never seen a sex party before, but Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu is different.

"I came here by force, and you didn't intend to call me at all."

But Xiao Yu said, "How do you know it wasn't for you?"

Li Sichuan stopped his feet and looked at her sideways.

Xiao Yu smiled faintly, wrapped her coat tightly around her body, and said, "It's so cold."

Seeing that she didn't explain, Li Sichuan had no choice but to divert and say: "If you run away by yourself, aren't you afraid that the things in your house will be stolen?"

Xiao Yu smiled softly, "Sofa chair? Cabinet chandelier? If someone is willing to move it, it would be best if it is emptied, so that I don't have to hire someone to move it. If it is emptied, I will redecorate it, just to remove the scent and fingerprints of strangers." The footprints are all cleaned up."

"What about your clothes and jewelry?" Li Sichuan asked, thinking to himself, "Have I met a princess from the Qing Dynasty, who doesn't care so much about things outside of me?"

Li Sichuan felt that if Xiaoyu really didn't like the smell and handprints and footprints of strangers in the house, wouldn't it be fine if they weren't invited?In short, he felt unable to keep up with many of Xiao Yu's practices and ideas.If her beautiful clothes and jewelry were taken away by someone he didn't know, he would feel sorry for her.

"You don't think I'm stupid, do you?" Xiao Yu said with a smile, "I'm not a money-scattering boy."

Having said that, Li Sichuan had no choice but to shut up.If he continued talking, he would become narrow-minded.Conscience, he didn't mean that at all.

While talking, she led him into a small alley, which was the most common alley of residential buildings. Shops were opened with broken walls, and the signboards were lit. They were porridge shops and soup restaurants.This morning, they are all open.
