"What are you looking at?" Mina couldn't help asking softly when she saw Xiao Shi's gaze was fixed.
"Oh, it's nothing," Xiao Shi replied casually, "I just suddenly remembered my dad, and I haven't called him for the past few days."
Mina lowered her head and stirred the coffee, "It's great, you still have your father to think about, I don't even know what my father looks like."
Only then did Xiaoshi realize his slip of the tongue. She had heard from Shao Ting before that Mina's biological father was a well-known painter, very romantic, but after her mother was pregnant with her, he secretly left their mother and daughter and left without a sound. She regrets that she always speaks without going through her brain. Since she was a child, she has suffered a lot from this.
Xiao Shi looked at Mina apologetically, carefully discerning her emotions. However, Mina sipped her coffee as if nothing had happened, pursed her lips, raised her eyes and asked with a smile, "Where do you work now?"
Xiao Shi obviously paused for a few seconds, then said vaguely: "a company."
Mina looked at her thoughtfully for a while, "Is it Yijiang?"
"How do you know?" Xiao Shi was a little panicked.
"Me? Guess it!" Mina smiled mischievously, her eyes full of shrewdness.
Xiao Shi hurriedly explained: "No, I just work for a while to accumulate some experience, I don't plan to work there for a long time!"
Mina shrugged and said she didn't care, "It's your freedom to choose your own work and life, and I won't judge, and of course I have no right to interfere." She suddenly smiled complacently, "It seems that I I know Zhou Shaoting quite well!"
"When I was young, I rejected my stepfather, so I didn't want to go home, and always stayed at my uncle's house. I have known Zhou Shaoting since then. He is a very stubborn person." Mina said to herself Some seemingly insignificant gossip. Suddenly, she stopped, looked at Xiaoshi seriously and asked, "Hey, do you know that Zhou Shaoting went back to Shanghai to look for you before getting married?"
Hearing this sentence, Xiao Shi was stunned, and looked at Mina in disbelief, and after a long time, he asked dully, "When did it happen?"
"Ah? You don't know!" Mina was surprised, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Then, forget it. I just want to ask from the perspective of a woman, have you let go now?"
Xiao Shi's eyes froze for a moment, then turned to the window, seemingly inadvertently, and seemed to be distracting from the depressed mood, "Let it go, what can you do if you can't let go? It's all in the past."
"It's best for you to think like this. You are too persistent. In the end, you will be the one who makes things difficult for you." Mina said very confidingly, "Actually, there are some things I shouldn't say, because" She waited for Xiaoshi to turn her head and look at her. Only then did I continue to speak: "Because, Sun Xiaonan is my cousin and my uncle's daughter."
This time, Xiao Shi was really frightened, she never knew that these two people had such a relationship! Quickly explained: "Mina, don't think too much! I really didn't think too much! I went to Shao Ting's company to help out for a short time."
Seeing her eagerness to confess, Mina felt a little guilty, "Look, you're nervous! I don't mean anything else, I'm still me, you're still you, there's no difference. I just wanted to say my cousin , why did you drag it on yourself?"
She smiled helplessly, "My cousin doesn't have many friends, she can talk to me, and she likes to talk to me about everything. In recent years, I have heard her say a lot, she Marriage with Shao Ting" Mina sighed, "Oh, how should I put it? I have my own thoughts."
She spoke very cryptically, and Xiaoshi didn't have the time to speculate, but uneasily recalled what she had just said, fearing that she said something that shouldn't be said.
Mina looked at her absent-minded expression and felt that the chat was quite a failure. She only cared about solving the doubts in her heart, but did not consider the feelings of the person involved.
She began to feel sorry, and secretly blamed herself for being abrupt and selfish, so she stretched out her hand and fiddled with the lilies of the valley on the table, trying to find some light topics.
"My grandmother's home is in Salais, France. I went there several times when she was still alive. There, lily of the valley is a flower that symbolizes luck. Especially at the beginning of May, girls from the countryside go to the forest to pick lily of the valley. , as a gift to your sweetheart. It is said that the flower language of Lily of the Valley is 'Happiness Comes Again'."
Xiao Shi followed her to look at the slender and delicate flowers in the bottle, each of which looked like small white bells, exuding a vague and quiet fragrance that seemed like nothing. She suddenly remembered that she liked Yesenin's poem when she was in high school: "I walked on the first snow, and my heart surged like a lily-of-the-valley. Dusk was over my road, and the blue candle flames of stars were lit "
Mina was right,Lily of the valley's flower language is "happiness comes again", however, she didn't explain the latter, maybe because she didn't know, or maybe she didn't say it on purpose - lily of the valley's happiness will be particularly difficult, and accompanied by a faint sadness of fate.
Legends are always beautiful, but reality is full of imperfections.
Xiao Shi smiled relievedly, and suddenly said to herself: "I think this is good. He has his family and life, and I will have mine, just like what I blessed us with at the beginning. Now , I¡¯m content, I know he¡¯s there, we¡¯ve loved, and that¡¯s it.¡±
Mina was moved, and her heart was filled with indescribable emotion and pity. The love of this woman in front of me is completely different from the love of another woman who also claims to "love him".
She looked at Xiao Shi seriously, as if she was meeting her for the first time.
In the afternoon sun, the watery gaze of the woman is like a sparkling autumn lake, clear and clear, reflecting the blooming lily of the valley, feeling a little lonely and sad, but also so silent and gentle, steadfast and pure.
Mina's heart touched, suddenly her eyes lit up, she asked the waiter for a pen and paper, and sketched something hastily.
Soon, she finished the rough draft and unfolded it for Xiaoshi to read. It is a dress with clean lines and a fluid silhouette.
"What is this?" Xiaoshi asked.
"The dress I designed for you, I asked them to make it quickly and give it to you as a gift." Mina smiled with satisfaction and relief as she imagined the appearance of this inspired work she wore.
Coming out of the coffee shop, Xiao Shi said goodbye to Mina as she said she was going to visit a friend nearby.
She identified the direction and groped towards the direction of Dongyang Bakery. Mina said that Shao Ting came back to find her, so he should ask Han Dong, right? In this city, he was the closest friend to her.
After all, she was still unwilling and wanted to ask for proof.
A wind chime was hung on the doorknob of the bakery, and when the door was pushed open, it made a delicate and pleasant sound, which fell on Xiaoshi's heart, causing unreasonable tension and inexplicable hopes.
Everything in the store remained the same, and Guo Xuemei behind the counter was rarely in a good mood. Not only did she not show her face, but she also took the initiative to go to the back kitchen to help her call Han Dong out.
She obediently helped him wipe the sweat off his forehead, squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly, and her voices of "Brother Dongzi" were as crisp as the wind blowing ice floes.
Xiaoshi watched Han Dong approaching quietly, sat beside her, and didn't bother to exchange pleasantries, so she said, "I want to ask you something, when I was studying in Beijing, did Zhou Shaoting come to see you? "
Han Dong froze for a moment, then his whole face sank, and he asked angrily, "Did he tell you?"
"No, a friend of his accidentally mentioned"
"Hey, are you so interesting?" Han Dong interrupted angrily before she finished speaking, "What can he do if he can't find it? You're going back and forth here, you're not embarrassing yourself!"
Xiaoshi lowered her head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "If he really came to see me, I would feel better."
"Yan Xiaoshi, you are a fool, a big fool!" Han Dong stood up and yelled at her, "If I were your brother, I would want to beat you up!"
Xuemei looked over uneasily, and Han Dong sat down with a sigh of relief, almost gnashing his teeth, "You don't hate him when he treats you so well?"
"The situation back then was very complicated. You didn't understand it. I only know some things now. I don't blame him." Xiaoshi smiled wryly, "Actually, I never blamed him. The question of who is right and who is wrong is justa trick of fate."
Han Dong snorted coldly, tapped his fingers on the edge of the table irritably, stopped suddenly, lowered his eyes and said, "I saw it."
"Huh?" Xiaoshi didn't know what he was talking about.
"I saw it." Han Dong raised his eyes, his eyes were cold, and he said with a trembling voice: "I saw him drag you into the car that day, and you cried. I wanted to catch up, but I didn't, because I I know, you can't let go. I thought he would take you away and give you happiness, but he still left alone. You say this kind of man, you!" Han Dong could no longer restrain the depression and resentment in his chest, hated He said bitterly, "Even if you forgive him, I can't forgive him!"
Hearing these words, the heart-wrenching past of that rainy night came to mind again, and Xiaoshi's eye circles turned red instantly.
Han Dong's words continued: "He hurt you too much, Ah Shi! Before you came to Shanghai, your mother told me to take good care of you, but I failed to complete the task. I have been blaming myself, I I can feel that since then, you have never been really happy, you have been thinking about him."
Han Dong suddenly lowered his body, stared into Xiaoshi's eyes, and persuaded him earnestly, "Why can't you let go, Ah Shi? Let's live steadily, okay? Don't get entangled with him anymore." , you will have no results!"
However, when he discerned the loneliness and indifference in the girl's eyes, he felt a burst of frustration in his heart, and he couldn't help but said cruelly: "I'm leaving my words here today, if you don't believe me, just watch it!"
Xiaoshi looked at him blankly, as if she couldn't understand what he said, and after pondering for a while, she asked, "If there is someone in your heart that you can't let go of, can you live a good life?" (Remember this site's website: www. hlnovel.com)He earnestly persuaded: "Why can't you let go, Ah Shi? Let's live steadily, okay? Don't get entangled with him anymore, you won't have any results!"
