Chapter 39
Chapter 38 Countdown [two more] (I really like you.
Xie Yuan’s home in Wuting is a large flat-storey western-style building with one terrace and one family. The living room is very transparent and the style of home decoration is quite simple. It can be seen that the displayed objects are very tasteful.
Xie Yuan wore a white turtleneck sweater, casual at home, the style of suits and leather shoes on weekdays is completely different, and the temperament is much softer.
He took Jiang Yu around to visit the room, and at the same time turned on the record player to play Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake”.
“Uncle Xie, your home is really good, big and beautiful.”
“You like it.” Xie Yuan took her to the study and pointed to a full floor bookshelf and said: “There are many collections and books about ballet on the bookshelf. You can read it at will. I will go to the kitchen to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner. .”
“Uncle Xie, do you need my help?”
“No, at home, you don’t need to do this.”
After Xie Yuan left, Jiang Yu flipped through the thick books. She found that these books were yellow and old, but they were well preserved.
Jiang Yu casually opened an English book of “Romantic Ballet Origins”, looked through a few pages, and found that it was densely outlined with notes, and there were notes in the corners with graceful handwriting, which looked like girls’ notes.
Jiang Yu turned a few more pages and saw an old photo. In the photo, a couple stood on a railroad track, with the ink-colored Cangshan mountain in the distance.
The girl is wearing cute overalls with ponytails, hugging the man’s waist, as if she is going to kiss his face. The man was very serious, looking at the camera, and taking pictures upright.
Jiang Yu recognized that the girl in the photo was Bu Tanyan, and this man was Xie Yuan when he was young.
The two of them used to be boy and girl friends with very close relationships.
Seeing their sweet and happy appearance, Jiang Yu also felt warm in his heart, and at the same time a little sad.
How come heaven and man are separated forever.
…
In the kitchen, Xie Yuan took the spatula and fry the garlic meat in the pot.
Jiang Manyi hugged his arms and leaned against the door, looking at his busy back: “Xie always cooks?”
“I used food stalls before.” Xie Yuan said calmly: “The cooking skills are not bad. You and Xiao Yu can try them later.”
Jiang Manyi rolled his eyes and said, “It seems that I have come here today, knowing that my daughter is a big foodie, and you want to seduce her by eating.”
“Don’t always be conspiracy theories.” Xie Yuan turned his head and said, “I just want to be nice to my daughter.”
Jiang Manyi hurriedly put his head out of the kitchen. After making sure that Jiang Yu was not outside, he closed the door and warned him: “I advise you not to talk nonsense, she is not your daughter, it is mine!”
“I checked it all.” Xie Yuan tried to drink the soup in the casserole and said calmly: “But you can rest assured that I am not an unreasonable person. You raised her. I appreciate you and respect you. .”
Jiang Manyi gritted his teeth and said angrily: “What qualifications do you have to say that she is your daughter? When Yanyan needed you the most, where were you? When she gave birth, you didn’t even have a ghost. She In the most desperate two years before you left, you were not by her side. You are now back to ask for a daughter. I tell you, it’s impossible!”
Xie Yuan put down the spoon in his hand, constricted his eyes, and said solemnly: “I have been in jail.”
Jiang Manyi paused without speaking.
“You look now, I am very glamorous, have a company, have assets, and have a big house. But the two years when I met Atan was the lowest point in my life. I just came out of prison. At the worst In the period when I met the best girl, low self-esteem was true.”
At that time, he had nothing, worried that his experience in jail would affect his friend’s company, and finally chose to leave from scratch and start his own business.
He opened a food stall restaurant in the backstreet of the university where Bu Tanyan was located, earning money while studying for the adult self-examination.
At that time, Bu Tanyan was the most beautiful girl in school. She could dance ballet. She danced gracefully at the party every year, and many boys liked her.
Xie Yuan never thought that such a girl would notice him.
For a long time, she came to his food stall to eat, wearing white T ripped jeans, ordering a small bowl of fried rice, standing next to him with the bowl, while eating, chatting with him and teasing him.
Who could have imagined that the “white swan” of Beicheng University, an unattainable goddess school flower, is like a little Taimei, who would come to his store to eat and drink for nothing as long as he was free.
She didn’t mind that he had been in jail, or that he had nothing, let alone his terrible temper.
Later, on a New Year’s Eve, after attending a high-end dinner party, the “white swan” wore a white dance skirt and ran all the way to his rental house in the wind and snow, just to say to him: ” Happy New Year.”
In the cold rented house, when Xie Yuan opened the door, he saw the “white swan” with snowflakes on the temples leaping up, jumped onto him, and hugged him hard.
She kept confiding in his ear: “I like you, I really like you, my body, my heart, every strand of my hair, I like you.”
Xie Yuan at that moment, every cell in his body gave up resistance.
He could no longer refuse, to reject the girl’s enthusiasm and sincerity and so many and so many likes.
It was a crazy night. There was no heating in the rental house. Xie Yuan changed the cleanest sheets.
They drank a lot of wine and burned each other to the extreme.
“Later I went south to do business and started from scratch, trying hard to be worthy of her. But she told me that no matter how hard I tried, we would not be able to get the consent of our parents unless she picked the first and only one in China. The queen’s ballet dancer laurels.”
Jiang Manyi sighed: “You missed her.”
“We made an appointment, work hard together, I work hard to earn money, she dances hard, and when I come back, she will give me a huge surprise.”
Xie Yuan closed his eyes painfully. Even after many years, when talking about his teenage lover, he still feels sad: “I didn’t wait for her surprise, there will be no more.”
Jiang Manyi knows what that surprise is…
Bu Tanyan concealed the whole world and gave him the cutest daughter in the world!
When he left, Bu Tanyan entrusted his daughter to Jiang Manyi. No matter how he blames himself now, Jiang Manyi will not be able to return his daughter to him.
“If you want to recognize your daughter back, this incident will definitely come out.” Jiang Manyi said in a deep voice, “The Bu family will also know that Bu Tanyan gave birth to a daughter. What do you think will happen to them? All these years, No one has ever won the position of queen in the ballet world except Bu Tanyan…”
“You are afraid that they will take Xiao Yu away.” Xie Yuan sneered: “Impossible, unless I die.”
Jiang Manyi knew that Xie Yuan today is no longer the poor boy Bu Tanyan said back then.
With his own strength, it is enough to contend with Bu’s family, but…
Jiang Manyi couldn’t do it. If Bu’s family wanted to send her daughter back, Jiang Manyi couldn’t stop it, just like she couldn’t stop Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan is different from Bu’s family. Xie Yuan has deep feelings for Jiang Yu, and because of this, he will not take her away forcibly.
This is why Jiang Manyi reluctantly agreed to let them come in contact, and did not forcefully stop it.
…
At this moment, Jiang Yu opened the kitchen door and looked at them meaningfully: “You two, what are you talking about in the kitchen when the door is closed?”
Jiang Manyi immediately said, “Thank you for your uncle’s good cooking skills. I will let him teach me how to cook.”
“Really.” Jiang Yu said with a smile: “There is no need to close the door.”
Jiang Manyi knew what Jiang Yu had misunderstood, and quickly pushed her out to avoid embarrassment.
“Don’t talk nonsense, Xie Yuan and I have nothing.”
“I told you what do you have?” Jiang Yu added a little smile: “You are here without silver three hundred taels.”
“No more nonsense, I’m leaving, you and him celebrate the New Year, I’ll go back to simmer a little wine and drink, I don’t bother to care about you.”
“Don’t don’t don’t, how embarrassing I am to stay when you’re gone.”
While the mother and daughter were talking on the balcony, Xie Yuan had already put a hearty meal on the table: “It’s ready for dinner.”
Jiang Yu walked over and saw the attractively fragrant food on the table, exclaimed: “Uncle Xie, your craftsmanship is so good! You can’t tell at all that you can cook!”
He usually looks like an elite in the workplace and corporate executives, but he didn’t expect to be a “family cook” at home.
Xie Yuan’s praise for his daughter was particularly useful, and he served her a bowl of pea hoof soup: “Drink the soup first.”
“Ah, I can’t drink this soup.” Jiang Yu looked at the oily flowers floating on it, and even though he was too greedy, he refused, “This…really can’t drink.”
“Why can’t you drink?”
Jiang Manyi said leisurely: “Controlling diet is the basic quality of a ballerina.”
“When you grow up, you should control what you eat.” Xie Yuan’s face became heavy: “Dad said that he can drink if he can.”
“Then I’ll take a sip?”
Xie Yuan scooped another bowl for her again, which melted the oily flowers on the soup noodles, all melted peas.
Jiang Yu was blowing the heat, just about to say something, suddenly remembering something, and looking at Xie Yuan: “Uncle Xie, you just said… Dad?”
Xie Yuan was slightly startled: “Did I say that? Nothing.”
Jiang Yu was very sure: “You said it, I heard it.”
“I do not have.”
Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Manyi: “He said, right?”
Jiang Manyi: “I didn’t say it, I didn’t hear it.”
“Eh???”
…
On the New Year’s Eve, Xie Yuan and Jiang Manyi went to the terrace to set fireworks and firecrackers.
Holding the cell phone alone, Jiang Yu secretly went to the study and gave Qiu Li a video for New Year’s Eve together.
But after the video passed, no one answered for a long time, and then he was hung up.
Jiang Yu posted another video and was quickly hung up.
what happened? Isn’t it a good idea to join the New Year?
She called Qiuli, and Qiuli did not hang up this time, but picked up the phone—
“girlfriend…”
Jiang Yu heard his breathing a bit heavy and noisy, so he asked: “Why don’t you pick up the video?”
“No traffic.” He cleared his throat: “Outside… watching the fireworks.”
“Oh, this way.” Jiang Yu didn’t doubt: “Did you wear the new shoes I gave you when you went out?”
“Yes, dress.”
“That’s good, for the New Year, we have to wear new clothes and new shoes.”
“Ok.”
“Then don’t hang up, wait for the countdown?”
“Don’t hang up.”
“You are so noisy and noisy, your voice has changed a bit.”
…
At the end of the damp alley, there are children watching fireworks and firecrackers, bursts of laughter, like another world.
Qiu Li was sitting on the ground with his back leaning against the wall. There was a pile of ashes in front of him. There were traces of black charcoal on his face. There were also many burn marks on his clothes, especially his arms. The burn marks were particularly obvious.
In his arms, he stubbornly held the AJ sneakers that Jiang Yu gave him. The glue on the sneakers was burned black, and the laces were burned out. Although the general appearance has not changed, it can be seen. , It’s already hard to wear.
Qiu Li’s eyes were bloodshot, holding those shoes tightly…
In the dark blue night sky, fireworks exploded in clusters, his eardrums swelled, and his temples jumped suddenly.
On the phone, the girl’s gentle and soft voice came: “Jiu Li, the countdown is about to begin, let’s go together, ten, nine, eight, seven, six…”
Qiu Li tried his best to suppress, and read with her: “Five, four, three, two, one…”
“Happy New Year! Happy New Year too!”
The corners of Qiu Li’s mouth raised unconsciously, but his eyes were very painful and painful: “Yes, so are we Xiaoyu…”
“Jouli, your voice doesn’t sound very good.”
Qiu Li lowered his head and kissed the burnt shoes, then wiped his dry eyes hard, and said, “Maybe it’s because my boyfriend missed you too much.”
Jiang Yu was a little worried, and said, “Then let’s video, and I will charge you up for your data.”
Qiu Li bit her fist hard, because she was too hard, her figure shuddered slightly—
“Xiao Yu, I love you.”
