Chapter 131:
Why am I crying all the time? I'm like a waste. A waste can't save Jiang Xiao.
Lin Chengyu thought.
He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears, but it didn't work. The more he stretched his hand, the more his tear ducts were like emotions. He couldn't control them. Never forget, he will always remember.
This is a scar that he can't change and that remains in his heart.
If he did something wrong, he can't make up for it without remorse. No matter what the result is, there will always be something left in the process of this and that, reminding him of what he has missed.
The half of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that the old man gave him was a little big, and he cherished it very much.
It's really the taste of Jiang Xiao. The sweet-scented osmanthus honey in it is made by himself in autumn and stored well, but no matter how much he cooks, it is usually eaten before the Spring Festival. It has a very special taste and is very different from the ones sold outside. The same, anyone who has tasted it will remember it.
This should be the last batch. The sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus nectar at the bottom will be sweeter and not greasy, with a faint scent of osmanthus, as if to pull Lin Chengyu back into some past situations.
He has eaten this many times, and the entrance can even be divided into batches, but many times, he does not think it is very precious.
Even though he was so uncomfortable, he could still think of Jiang Xiao. The whole body was bitter, but the sweet-scented osmanthus nectar in his mouth was related to Jiang Xiao, and he could taste the sweetness.
That trace of sweetness bound him, he couldn't escape, and he was willing to stay there.
"Want to give up?"
The old man asked him.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you give up," said Old Man Lin. "Take a step back and you will feel much better. Jiang Xiao is also fine now."
Jiang Xiao also said similar things to him many times.
"No," Lin Chengyu shook his head, his first reaction was still the same, "I can't."
To this day, until now, he still can't do it.
It seems that he has given up Jiang Xiao, and his life will no longer have goals and meanings.
"Then keep it," Grandpa Lin was not surprised, he sighed lightly, "Go home first. If you have a chance, apologize to Jiang Xiao, you scared him."
At this time, Jiang Xiao drove home. He had calmed down a lot on the road, but there was still a bit of a lump left there.
Lin Chengyu... How could Lin Chengyu do this?
On the way, the other party called him, but Jiang Xiao didn't answer. When he got home, he received an apology text message from the other party.
Jiang Xiao felt annoyed.
Why are you doing this, why are you telling yourself this?
He and Lin Chengyu have nothing to do with each other now, can't they be calm?
He was suffocating in his heart.
It was New Year's Eve, and he and Fu Ruoyan still lived together, so they didn't live in the house next to the company. These days, I live in a new house, accompanied Xia Wanwan, and slowly prepared the dinner for the three of them on New Year's Eve.
As soon as Jiang Xiao entered the house, Fu Ruoyan was standing at the entrance. He heard the sound outside and waited there. He took out the slippers for Jiang Xiao, but as soon as the other party entered the door and took off the shoes, he reached into his arms with bare feet.
"What's wrong?" Fu Ruoyan reached out and touched his hair and kissed his side face, "Did Xiaoxiao miss me?"
"Well," Jiang Xiao nodded, the whole person was stuffed in his arms, "I miss you, is my mother here?"
He didn't see Xia Wanwan.
"I made an appointment and went shopping."
There are only two people in the family, so there is no scruples, Jiang Xiao immediately raised his head and kissed him.
This house is indeed a good buy. It is a duplex building, and it was designed later. Xia Wanwan doesn't want to climb the stairs every day, so she lives in the room on the first floor, and the room reserved for Jiang Xiao is on the second floor. Even if the two generations live together, they can usually Do not disturb each other.
Fu Ruoyan was working on some documents at home in the morning, and was busy with work, so he didn't go out with Jiang Xiao today. He didn't expect Jiang Xiao to be so enthusiastic when he came back.
But of course it was impossible for him to refuse the intimacy that was brought up.
He hugged and kissed enough, then reached out and carried Jiang Xiao upstairs.
Although it was noon, when the curtain of the bed in the room was drawn, it was no different from the night.
Jiang Xiao surrounded Fu Ruoyan, and he quickly forgot about the rest of the noon thing. In that state, it was really hard for him to think of other things, and he was completely in control of the other party.
This is not the first time, Fu Ruoyan still listened to some words, he did not toss for too long. Jiang Xiao slept for a while, and woke up after five o'clock in the afternoon.
Fu Ruoyan was sitting beside the bed, the curtains opened a little, he was talking on the phone, he didn't notice Jiang Xiao woke up for a while. Although the sound was low, the room was quiet and Jiang Xiao could hear what he was saying.
"...Buy the draft? Okay, let them buy it, film critic? It's okay too."
"I know, don't worry about it, let them toss about it, have you seen the film? You'll understand after watching it. The more films of this quality they make, the faster the reaction will be, and the audience will naturally have a real voice. Just send it out."
"As for the rest... I'm all ready, don't worry."
Jiang Xiao listened to it for a while, and realized that he was talking about the movie. The one that Fu Zonglin invested in, the film for the Spring Festival, will be released in just a few days.
Many people in Mrs. Fu are working overtime. They are busy during the day and night. Only his old **** is there, and everything is left alone.
"Fu Zonglin is dead," Fu Ruoyan turned his back to him, "after these few days, he will come back and beg me, begging me like a dog."
The tone of his words was something Jiang Xiao had never heard before, and it was ruthless to a certain extent.
Jiang Xiao's heart trembled.
He knew that Fu Ruoyan's hatred for his father had always been there, but what Jiang Xiao didn't expect was that even now he could only see a little of the hatred, which was much deeper than he imagined.
He didn't want Fu Ruoyan to be like this.
He hates his father and stepmother, Jiang Xiao understands it very well, Fu Ruoyan has indeed been deeply hurt, and it is very reasonable to choose to take revenge, but it is not a good way to let negative emotions erode him too much.
People always have to look forward, thinking about them all the time, and they will feel very uncomfortable. This is Jiang Xiao's feeling.
"Ruo Yan," Jiang Xiao sniffed and called his name. He had just woken up, and his voice was soft and a little hoarse, "I'm hungry."
As soon as he heard his words, Fu Ruoyan just now changed back to what he remembered. He quickly walked over, moved gently, and reached out to hug Jiang Xiao.
"Auntie just called to say that she and my little sister were out for dinner. I'll be back later tonight," Fu Ruoyan kissed his forehead, "I made some porridge, what else do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
Jiang Xiao leaned on him and rubbed his neck. He asked Fu Ruoyan, "Then what do you want to eat?"
Fu Ruoyan was stunned for a moment. He hadn't eaten anything today. As soon as Jiang Xiao said that, he felt hungry.
"Whatever," he said, "I can eat anything."
"I'll make it for you," Jiang Xiao got out of bed, "I've prepared a lot of things."
It is indeed Jiang Xiao's habit to stock up a lot of things during the New Year. Some are bought from outside, some are made by himself, and both refrigerators are full.
It's just two people, he didn't do it too complicated, but it has a sense of ritual.
I grilled two steaks, decorated the plate, and got a small plate of pasta with cheese. The drink was also adjusted, two glasses of strawberry milk. After all, Jiang Xiao can't drink much.
Fu Ruoyan's taste is not so sweet, and his cup is not so sweet. Besides, he also lit two candles, which smells like a candlelight dinner.
The two of them cheered, and the strawberry milk was still served in a red wine glass.
After eating this meal with Jiang Xiao, his mood was naturally much better, as if everything else was not important.
At night, the two of them lie on the sofa in the room and watch the night view.
The house that Xia Wanwan bought was on the riverside. It was a river view room, and she could see the landmark buildings in Li City. Fu Ruoyan and Jiang Xiao chatted about something, and saw him sleeping with his eyes closed in her arms. peaceful.
Xia Wanwan really came back late today. When she got home, Jiang Xiao had already slept for a long time.
Fu Ruoyan hadn't slept yet, he turned on a small night light and was still looking at the documents, Xia Wanwan just came back when he went down to pour the water.
She carried at least a dozen bags in her hand, and the property steward downstairs even helped her deliver some. Before the Spring Festival, the shopping malls had huge discounts, so she had to buy something no matter what.
Fu Ruoyan stepped forward to help her carry them. After putting all the bags on the sofa, he saw Xia Wanwan tumbling inside again.
"I bought something for you and Nian Nian," she whispered to him, she knew Jiang Xiao was asleep as soon as she came in, so she didn't speak loudly, "Take it, Nian Nian, I will talk to you tomorrow. give him."
There were a lot of things in the bag, clothes and decorations, Fu Ruoyan glanced at it, there were too many, and he looked at the top one, it was a medicine bag.
What is this for?
"The above is prepared for you every year. He said that you have been busy in the past few days, and you used to stay up all night, and you didn't sleep well. He changed the pillow, but he felt that it was not enough." Xia Wanwan said, "I found it from a doctor I knew before. There are medicine bags for foot soaking at night, incense sticks for hanging in the room, and tea bags for sleep aids, try it, and I don’t know if it will work for you.”
Fu Ruoyan carried the bag and stopped talking.
"Actually, these medicines are at best auxiliary, mainly because you need to adjust your mentality. Young people should relax in everything, don't make yourself so tired," Xia Wanwan added, "Go to sleep now, it's very late today."
Fu Ruoyan: "...Okay."
He wakes up to do something every time he sees Jiang Xiao falling asleep. Especially after returning from a trip abroad, Fu Zonglin's movie is about to be released. He knows that the quality is not good enough, but if he really does not have the power to fight back, he has to go to the Push forward.
Fu Zonglin manages the media, he also manages the same, many plans are waiting in secret.
He thought that Jiang Xiao was asleep, and he was doing this quietly, but in fact, everyone around the pillow knew.
