Chapter 39 It turns out that this life is like a dream, and I can't help it at all (2)
"Tut tsk tsk, why is this? It's too immoral, and your heart is too bad. Why are you greedy for this kind of money? If you want me to say, no matter how good-looking this kind of woman is, she is too dark-hearted. It's going to hell."

"That's right. He deserves it. If such a person can get away with it, then God will be blind."

This feeling is really subtle, listening to them right next to me, scolding me for being immoral and ill-intentioned, accusing me of going to the [-]th level of hell, this feeling is really subtle.I smile wryly.

Who would have thought that this Weiwei who is selling small jewelry in this small corner now, who can't even afford a decent winter coat, is the Lin Xiawei who was so popular not long ago that her stardom was brilliant.Even when I saw those old endorsement posters posted on the street by chance, I felt that Lin Xiawei, who was in high spirits, had nothing to do with me at all.

But I'm sad, I'm really sad.I really want to tell everyone that I didn't embezzle donations, and I didn't seduce Lu Qi. I'm not the ugly person they say I am.But even if I say it, will anyone believe it?No one in the whole world believes me. The words "embezzlement of charitable funds" are imprinted on my face like a brand, and I will never be able to get rid of them for the rest of my life.

Suddenly someone yelled: "Run! The urban management is here!" Before I could react, A Liang had already packed up his stall and yelled at me while running: "Idiot, what are you doing standing there! Run! Ah! Don’t take those craps of yours! If you get caught by the city management, you will be fined!”

I panicked, quickly put the things away with the bottom cloth, hugged them in my arms and ran desperately towards Ah Liang.At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and water accumulated on the ground. I was wearing cotton slippers on my feet, and it was very difficult to run.

"Run, hurry up!" A Liang shouted at me desperately in front.

Behind them, the urban management sternly stopped: "Stop, you are not allowed to run, all stop for me!" Some stall owners who had no time to escape were caught, crying and begging the other party to let them go, shouting and crying for a while. Voices, begging for mercy mixed into one.I turned my head in a hurry, only to see a city management officer chasing me less than three meters behind me, which scared me to quicken my pace.

I ran desperately, the rain hit my face, my hair was wet in no time, and my bangs stood greasy on my face.The cotton slippers were soaked in water, and it was extremely difficult not to take a step.But I can't stop running, I can't be caught by them, I don't have any more money to pay the fine, I can't be caught by them.I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes and rushed forward with the greatest speed.

Suddenly, there was a stab at the foot.

I didn't have time to stop, and ran out several steps in a row, but every step was painful.Shocked, I fell to the ground.Looking down, I don’t know when the slippers on my left foot were lost, and at this time there was a piece of broken glass on the bottom of my feet, and blood was seeping out like a leaking faucet, which was shocking.

Before I could get scared, I kept lifting me up with heavy hands, and a man with a fleshy face yelled at me: "Why are you running? Do you think you can run? Alas, you even stepped on the glass! Really! Unlucky, Xiao Jiang, you come to deal with this woman!" He turned to greet a female colleague.

I was caught, I was caught by the city management.

At the moment, my mind is blank, and it is this idea that is turning over and over again.I was caught by the city management, I would be fined, I don't have money to pay the fine, I can't be fined.So I gritted my teeth and bit down hard on the man's arm.

"Ouch!" The man let go of his hand in pain, and I seized the opportunity to turn around and run away.But as soon as I stepped on my left foot, the piercing pain made my foot go limp, and I slammed forward fiercely, and fell to the ground hard.There was a sharp pain, and the palm was cut by glass shards.

This was probably the most embarrassing moment of my life.His clothes were disheveled, and he fell sadly and miserably in the rainy night, and one of the cotton slippers on his feet fell off.If I had a choice, I would absolutely not want Zhuo Hao to see me in such a mess. I would rather die than let him see me in such a mess.

But God probably has a grudge against me, and always wants to fight against me.

The living room was well-heated and very warm.Zhuo Xiaohao lay on the opposite sofa in the most comfortable position, looking at me curiously with his dark eyes.And I was drenched from top to bottom, sitting there in a mess.

"I found it, the medicine box." Aunt Jiang ran downstairs.

Zhuo Hao took the medicine box and opened it, quickly took out tweezers, cotton balls and alcohol from it.He squatted down in front of me and gently grabbed my left foot.I flinched subconsciously, but he held me down: "Don't move. I know you're soaked and uncomfortable now, but your foot injury is more serious. I'll take care of it first, and I'll call you when the doctor arrives later." Tetanus. It can be big or small."

So I fell silent.

Zhuo Hao gently grabbed my foot with his left hand, and held the tweezers in his right hand. He carefully observed the injury on the bottom of the foot, then used the tweezers to grab the glass fragments, and pulled them out gently and forcefully. "Hiss..." I took a deep breath in pain, and then I applied cold alcohol on it.

Aunt Jiang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuo told me before that he has a lifeguard certificate issued by the Red Cross. I still didn't believe it. It turned out to be true."

Zhuo Hao smiled and said, "Why did I lie to you?" He quickly bandaged my left foot while talking, and then began to handle my hands.Under the light, his side face is serious and focused, and his expression is really charming.I stared blankly at the side face, lost in thought, until Zhuo Hao stood up: "Okay. Aunt Jiang, take her upstairs to change clothes."

Aunt Jiang said, Xia Wei, it's good to see you again.I saw the news, alas, but I didn't expect you to live like this... alas, your company is too cruel.

I smiled, didn't speak, and went into the bathroom with the clean nightgown that Aunt Jiang handed over.Because there were wounds on my feet and hands, I couldn’t take a bath, so I could only wipe it carefully with a wet towel. After putting on my nightgown, I felt much warmer.

Until now, I still can't believe that I'm in Zhuo Hao's villa.Just now I was fleeing for my life in order to avoid the urban management in the rainy night, but now I am here, wearing a clean nightgown and blowing the warm air conditioner, and stepping on a warm carpet under my feet, I seem to be dreaming.

I turned around and stared blankly at myself in the mirror.Recalling the way Zhuo Hao squatted on the ground to clean and bandage my wound just now, his expression was so gentle, my heart seemed to be a pool of spring water, gently stirred by an invisible hand, creating ripples layer after layer.

God, is this my compensation?I asked softly in my heart.

After I finished packing, Aunt Jiang helped me to sit by the bed, and went downstairs to make me a cup of ginger tea: "Drink it quickly, don't catch a cold if you get in the rain."

"Thank you, Aunt Jiang." I took it, and the warm temperature of the cup penetrated through the palm of my hand, warming my whole body all of a sudden. "Aunt Jiang, isn't Young Master Zhuo in South Africa? Why did you suddenly return to China?"

"That's right. The project in South Africa is still not over. Mr. Zhuo must have something to do with the company when he came back halfway." Aunt Jiang put the fried egg on my plate, "Fortunately, he met you on the way. Otherwise, you are really pitiful."

Whether it was a chance encounter or a special trip, he probably came back after knowing about me.There was a small ripple in my heart.

"Mr. Zhuo told you to stay here and recover from your injuries. You don't have to worry too much. It's important to heal your foot injuries first. Don't worry, with me taking care of you, you will recover quickly." Aunt Jiang touched my chin Her palm is very warm, and I feel at ease under this warmth.

So I stayed at Zhuo’s house for half a month, and my foot injury gradually healed, and new tender flesh grew out, but it was so itchy that Aunt Jiang volunteered to make a chicken feather for me. , as long as the soles of the feet are itchy, just take it and gently brush it twice to stop itching, the effect is amazing.

During this time, Zhuo Hao didn't come back very often, he would occasionally come back for dinner, but he never stayed overnight in the villa.Aunt Jiang said that he has been very busy with work recently, and it is said that he often has to hold video conferences with South Africa all night, so he often turns upside down day and night.Even so, I'm happy as long as he comes back for dinner once in a while.

I clearly realized that the little seedling that had been strangled in my heart seemed to be sprouting again.I always feel that Zhuo Hao's thoughts should be the same as mine, otherwise how could he appear so coincidentally to save me, and I seem to be able to understand the way he looks at me.

It's warm and gentle.

I woke up very late that day, and it was already 11 noon when I woke up.There was the sound of Zhuo Xiaohao playing in the courtyard downstairs. I rolled off the bed and walked to the balcony barefoot.Aunt Jiang said yesterday that she would go home early in the morning and come back tomorrow, what is Zhuo Xiaohao making a fuss about all by herself.

Unexpectedly, it was Zhuo Hao who came back.

The winter sun was very warm, he stood under that piece of sunshine, and the golden sunlight shone down, his whole body seemed to be shining.I was pleasantly surprised, and jumped down the stairs: "You're back!"

Zhuo Hao turned his head, his smile was beautiful under the sunlight: "Well, I'm back for lunch."

I was a little at a loss under such a smile, I scratched my messy hair: "Uh, Aunt Jiang went home today and there is no one to cook. I didn't expect you to come back. I originally planned to eat instant noodles."

"Then make me a bowl of instant noodles."

I thought for a while: "That's not good. You are my savior, how can I let my savior eat instant noodles! There is a small vegetable market at the foot of the mountain, let's go there and buy some simple dishes. It's such a happy decision, I'm going to wash!" I turned around and ran upstairs, only to hear Zhuo Hao "cut" from behind: "That's not going to cost me money to buy vegetables."

Tsk, you cheapskate!
The vegetable market at the foot of the mountain is very small, and most of the surplus vegetables grown by some farmers are sold at home. There are few varieties, but they are all fresh.Zhuo Hao and I got out of the car, and the vegetable farmers greeted us warmly: "Hey, do you sell radishes? Fresh radishes, just dug this morning!"

"The spring bamboo shoots are very fresh, take a look!"

"Can I buy some spring bamboo shoots?" I asked Zhuo Hao.Zhuo Hao shrugged his shoulders: "Whatever you want, I have no objection." The aunt who sold the bamboo shoots smiled happily when she saw our intention to buy bamboo shoots: "Hey, this fried pork with bamboo shoots is delicious, your husband will definitely like it. "

I was taken aback: "No, we are not husband and wife."

"Oh, I'm not married yet!" The aunt smiled, and hurriedly grabbed a bamboo shoot from the bamboo basket and put it on the scale, "Hey, it's a little more than two catties, it's two catties for you, 6 yuan. "

Zhuo Hao frowned: "We didn't say we would... Hey, why are you paying?"

"Oh, people weighed everything, so I bought it. And the spring bamboo shoots are really delicious. I remember there is sauerkraut in the refrigerator, and fried bamboo shoots with sauerkraut are the most delicious in the world!"

"Heh, I'll be thankful if you can cook it well." Zhuo Hao rolled his eyes at me, and walked towards the butcher in front.

Tsk, this guy is still as sarcastic as before, really unpleasant.I curled my lips angrily, but the weather is so good today, I don't want to be affected by this bitter guy, so I quickly followed: "Hey, let's buy some pork rib stew!

I have never felt such happiness.Oily smoke rises in the pan, and the sliced ​​meat makes a happy sound when it is fried. After stir-frying, add some salt, and then pour in the chopped onions.

"The pork rib soup should be ready, it's already very fragrant." Zhuo Hao entered the kitchen at some unknown time, and stretched out his nose to smell the heat coming from the casserole.I smiled: "It's almost done. Let it simmer for a while, and I'll cook two more dishes." Zhuo Hao nodded and went out with a satisfied smile.

I was momentarily absent-minded.This feeling really seems to be a young couple living a happy little life.If only time could stop at this moment.I think.

Stir-fried meat with onions, fried bamboo shoots with sauerkraut, braised chicken wings in soy sauce, and corn rib soup are all home-cooked dishes.I put them on the table one by one, and put two sets of bowls and chopsticks. "It's time to eat." I shouted into the hall, but the tip of my nose suddenly felt sour.I really really like this feeling.

"This soup is delicious, refreshing and nourishing." I scooped up a bowl of corn rib soup for Zhuo Hao.Zhuo Hao took it with a smile and took a sip, with a smile on his face: "Well, it's really good. It's comparable to Aunt Jiang's craftsmanship."

Looking at Zhuo Hao's contented appearance while drinking the soup I made, I feel that I am extremely happy now, and this feeling is as strong as if I spent all my happiness in my life for this one time.I also filled a bowl of soup for myself and took a sip.Well, it's really good.But it seems that the flavor of the spices is a little bit stronger, and it can be made lighter next time.

"By the way, do you want to go to Barcelona?" Zhuo Hao suddenly asked while drinking the soup.

"Huh? Where is Barcelona?" I couldn't respond to his nonsensical question, "Europe?"

"It is the second largest city in Spain. It faces the Mediterranean Sea. It is very beautiful. It is sunny and flowers are blooming all year round."

I tilted my head and thought for a while: "It seems to be a very beautiful place, but why should I go there? Are you going? Is the company going to do projects there? Then I will go with you." No matter where he goes, I will go there. I want to go with him, because as long as I am with him, every second is happy.

Zhuo Hao took a sip of the soup slowly: "It's not me, it's you."

I was a little taken aback, not understanding what he was talking about.I stared at him blankly, seeing my smile froze a little bit in his eyes.

"I have a good friend in Barcelona. He is a photographer. Recently, he asked me to help him find an oriental girl as a model in China. I think you fit his requirements, and you also need to avoid the limelight. Of course you are not very You can’t go, but I can only keep you for a short time, you can choose whether to go out and continue to face or go to Barcelona.”

I put down my chopsticks: "You can only keep me for a short time?" What does this mean?
Zhuo Hao picked up a piece of spring bamboo shoots, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.I don't know when the smile on his face disappeared, he looked lazy, and he didn't even lift his eyelids when he spoke: "Of course, I have my own life, and I can't let you live here forever. And I don't want to Let you live here forever."

"You don't want to? Then why did you save me?" I asked stupidly, but my fingers were already cold.

He raised his eyes and looked at me: "I think you may have misunderstood me. I helped you save you only out of sympathy and pity. After all, we also met once, and there is no other meaning. You know that I am There is a kind of heroism, even if it is Zhou Tingting, when she is down and down, I can't help but feel sorry for her."

It turned out to be like this, it turned out to be my wishful thinking again, it turned out to be my misunderstanding again.It's ridiculous, Lin Xiawei, you are so ashamed.But how could this be the case? The answer should not be this way.

The sun shines in through the glass windows, and there are countless small golden particles floating in the air, which hurt my eyes.I took a deep breath and asked, "Do you like me?"

Zhuo Hao was startled, as if surprised that I would ask such a question, then shook his head.

"Do you like me?" I asked again.

"I don't like it." This time he answered me clearly, turning his head away and frowning deeply.

There seemed to be something blocked in the throat, and the nose was sour.I pursed my lips and held back my tears: "I'll give you another chance, do you like me?"

"I have answered you this question a long time ago. I thought I had made it very clear in the first meal last time. If I knew that you hadn't given up, I wouldn't save you. I said earlier that I hate playing tricks the most. And a woman who demands too much, I also said that the Zhuo family will not marry a woman like you."

A demanding woman, it turned out that I was "this kind of woman" in his eyes, a demanding woman.The female lead who pestered him and asked him for a movie was not satisfied, but also wanted to enter the house, climb the dragon and attach herself to the phoenix, and look at the ridiculous woman who flew up the branches and turned into a phoenix.I was wrong, I thought he always treated me differently, but I was wrong.

"I'm going to Barcelona." I said quietly.

Zhuo Hao seemed relieved: "Okay."

The restaurant was quiet, and the two of them ate quietly. They thought it would be a warm and happy meal, but they didn't expect it to be the last lunch.I took a bite of the chicken wing and laughed silently.

On the day I left, Zhuo Hao didn't show up at the villa.Aunt Jiang sent me out, and when I was about to leave, she realized that I had no shoes. She suddenly remembered something and ran into the cloakroom. When she came out, she had a pair of "M&R" flat doll shoes in her hand. "Mr. Zhuo got this from somewhere last year. I think it fits your size. You can wear it."

I put on the shoes and they fit and were familiar.At that moment, I wanted to cry, but the tears were held back after all.

As the plane took off, I watched the city's shining stars go farther and farther away, and I thought, when can I come back?I think, I will definitely come back.
