Paper rose

Chapter 56
In Yun County, I was poor and couldn't afford anything.But Shang Mingming's mother is an expert in the kitchen. Sitting in the courtyard, she watched Shang's mother cook simple stir-fried vegetables with good color, flavor and taste.After work, she also learned to cook, and gradually developed a good skill.

With an MP3 player plugged into his ears, Bai Yan hummed a song, washing and chopping happily in the kitchen.When it was getting dark, the small dining table in the living room was filled with dishes, red and green, especially the crab in the middle, the shell was red and transparent, and the crab oil was exposed, which made people drool.Bai Yan thought that he could only eat one at most, and packed the others tomorrow and took them to the hospital for Liu Jing and the others to taste.

Before eating, Bai Yan went to wash his face, took off his apron, and just as he walked out, someone knocked on the door.

She peeked out through the cat's eyes, and saw that Mr. Kang was standing straight with a serious face.

She slammed the lights out and opened the door.

"The light is out?" Kang Jian asked puzzledly. Before he went upstairs, he took a special look to see that the house was brightly lit.

Bai Yan blocked the door, "Well, what kind of clothes are you going to wear today?" This leader Kang is getting more and more shameless, and now he doesn't even make a phone call.

Kang Jian looked at everything in the house vigilantly in the dark, and his sensitive nose smelled a familiar smell.

"Who else is in the family?" His voice was chilling.

"Only me."

Kang Jian didn't believe it, so he pushed her away, found the switch familiarly, and with a "snap", the room was filled with light.

He first stared at the food on the table in disbelief, his Adam's apple moved, and then quickly rushed into the room, the bedroom, the balcony, the kitchen, and even the bathroom, and the tense muscles on his face immediately relaxed.

Bai Yan followed behind him and secretly waved his fist, suspicious!As soon as he turned around, she didn't have time to take it back, she smiled dryly and pretended to pat her head, "Go and change quickly!" Go, go, she still has to eat!
Kang Jian nodded, entered the room, took off his coat, and came out wearing only a woolen sweater, then went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and took the dishes from the kitchen.

"What... are you doing?" Bai Yan stared wide-eyed.

"Let's have dinner!" Kang Jian said naturally.

"This... is my dinner."

"You can eat so much by yourself." Kang Jian loosened his tie and served the porridge by himself.

"I'll bring tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Bai Yan was anxious.

"It's better to eat freshly prepared meals. Leftovers are tasteless. Sit down and eat! Is there any wine at home?" Kang Jian looked at the crabs on the plate and the long-lost "Baiyan-style unique skill" with dark eyes. His eyes are shining brightly.

Bai Yan pouted and stood by the table, "We're already divorced, these were bought with my money, not yours."

"I'll pay you for the food in the future. In late autumn, eat while it's hot." Kang Jian sat her down, handed her chopsticks and a bowl of porridge, and reached for the crab first.

Bai Yan rolled his eyes, and slapped his hand with chopsticks, "Crabs are the freshest, eat last, otherwise the other things will be tasteless." This leader Kang is a dog, with such a sharp nose.It was the first time she moved out to cook so solemnly, and he ran into it.

"Yeah!" Kang Jian smiled slightly, drank a big mouthful of porridge, picked up a big chopsticks cake, didn't even need vegetables, and ate with gusto.Talking and boasting, "Bai Yan, your cooking is getting better and better, it's really delicious."

Bai Yan chewed cucumbers and ate bean sprouts dully, ignoring him.

Kang Jian's mood was not affected at all, he drank two bowls of porridge, cleaned up a large plate of pancakes, and finally ate two big crabs.

"I'll eat these few crabs tomorrow." Kang Jian looked at the remaining three big crabs on the plate with nostalgia.

"This is someone else's share." Bai Yan snorted.

"Liu Jing?" Kang Jian raised his eyebrows.

Bai Yan didn't say anything.

Kang Jian took the initiative to help clean up the dishes and rushed to wash the dishes with a good performance.The kitchen is not big, and the two of them would bump into shoulders and legs from time to time. No matter how you look at it, they look like a loving couple who get along harmoniously.

Bai Yan squinted at Kang Jian, threw the rag away, let him show off as much as he likes, free food is not so delicious.

She turned on the TV and it was broadcasting "News Network". She didn't like to watch the news, so she picked up the remote control and tuned the channel, "No, no, which province's development zone were you talking about just now?" Kang Jian slapped the water on his hand , ran in.

"Anyway, it's not our province."

"It's not for us to save, but we should also care about it." Kang Jian grabbed the remote control, sat down next to her, and focused on the screen.

Bai Yan tilted her head, resting her chin on her hand, as if meeting Leader Kang for the first time, looking left and right, is this really her ex-husband who divorced her for almost three months?
"Leader Kang, you are over 31 years old, right?"

Kang Jian stared intently, "Yes."

"You are not too young, shouldn't it be time to consider personal issues?"

"Not in a hurry."

"Is it because I didn't meet the right one? Our head nurse knows a lot of people. Would you like to ask her to introduce you?"

These words finally managed to divert Leader Kang's attention. He turned sideways and frowned, "Bai Yan, why are you acting like my mother today?"

Bai Yan curled her mouth playfully, "That's right, your mother should have been involved in this matter. What I want to say is, is it appropriate for you to stay in your ex-wife's room at such a late hour?"

"What's inappropriate, we didn't do anything inappropriate for children."

As soon as the words fell, the two people couldn't help avoiding their gaze at each other. Kang Jian's ears were red and red, and his hands on his knees slowly curled up.

"However, I don't want to be gossiped by the neighbors. Leader Kang, take your clothes... let's go early!"

Bai Yan's face turned cold, and he gave the order to evict the guest.

That night, Kang Jian suffered from insomnia.

Sleeping on the snow-white sheets in the government guest house, the quilt is a fluffy and soft imported silk quilt, and the central air conditioner keeps the indoor temperature at a comfortable eighteen degrees. He read documents until midnight, but he couldn't fall asleep.

Kang Jian came from the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee to serve as the mayor's assistant in Binjiang, and concluded that the two most important tasks of being an official are drinking and holding meetings.360 days a year, he doesn't know how many drinks and meetings he will have.However, every banquet and every meeting cannot be turned away.In the past, he would write something by himself, but now Xiao Wu can do all the simple things.There is a car to travel when going out, meals are consumed with public funds, speeches are written by someone, and the mood is depressed and travels on the grounds of meetings.All of this, in his current position, he can accept it with peace of mind.

Kang Jian sometimes questioned whether he had raised his spiritual level, or had he degenerated into a decayed soul with a young skin?
If there is anything to be thankful for, it is that he has not really become an official bastard, and he has done some practical things for Binjiang wholeheartedly.He also sat on the stage and sang high-profile songs, but his manuscripts were more or less real.For this old city renovation, he went to Beijing and the provincial capital to win funds and projects. In this regard, Binjiang can change the old look and bring huge potential benefits to Binjiang.

The leaders of the four teams of the city government were unanimously optimistic about him in the urban construction mayoral election in January, but they had some criticisms about Lu Difei, and they tsk-tsk when they talked about it.

Not surprisingly, it should be an election without suspense.

Kang Jian's current career development can be described by four words "smooth wind and smooth water" despite Kang Yunlin's shadow.

In the past, Kang Jian still had a calm expression on his face, but he was still very proud and had a sense of accomplishment in his heart.But at this moment, he really didn't feel any pleasure.Kang Jian analyzed that the reason was that his heart was full of work, but now, more than half of his heart was freed up for one person to live in.

This person is his ex-wife - Bai Yan.

It's funny to say, people are cheap, and it was only when Bai Yan asked him for a divorce that he realized that he was deeply in love with his wife.He once said to himself, it doesn't matter if he is cheeky, it doesn't matter if he loses face, or he can pretend to be deaf and dumb, he must not take Bai Yan's words seriously, he must seize every opportunity and keep Bai Yan by his side.

Kang Jian is not ideal, but he has a premonition that in his whole life, the only person who makes him fall in love and desires for marriage is very likely to be Bai Yan.

But he finally agreed to the divorce.

Sometimes, divorce is not about not loving, but about returning everything to the original point.Divorce is a mirror that allows him to clearly discover the problems between him and Bai Yan, see Bai Yan's true heart, and let Bai Yan see his heart.

Shang Mingming's affection for Bai Yan that was so strong that he could protect it with his life shook him to pieces.Later, he realized that the love between them was just a spiritual cuddle, not about the lust between a man and a woman.Instead of feeling happy, he was even more ashamed.

No wonder Shang Ming said sadly how envious he was of being able to marry Bai Yan, and asked why he was not willing to cherish it?
His face was red and swollen, his clothes were covered with blood, and his brain was like a paste.

Did he not cherish it?precious!But why did Bai Yan still want to leave?He couldn't find the problem.

After the divorce, he slowly came to his senses.The crux of Bai Yan's problem was the intricate relationship between the two parents, the existence of Yi Tongtong, and the distrust of him.

After the divorce, he felt even more that without Bai Yan, there was nothing happy and worth looking forward to in his life.

No matter how successful a person is in his career, without someone to share with you, everything is meaningless.

Therefore, if he wanted to leave no regrets in this life, he had to get his wife back.

He already has enough confidence to solve Bai Yan's crux.

Tonight, the two of them sat so close to each other, with their legs sticking to each other, he held his breath, he could smell the fragrance of shampoo in her hair, and when he looked sideways, he could see her beautiful breasts wrapped in a sweater.It was so warm in the room, and he ate such a delicious meal. The desire that had been dusty for a long time slowly climbed up from the soles of his feet. He was pretending to be serious watching TV, but every nerve was jumping excitedly. His sensitive masculinity is pushing up his baggy trousers, and he racks his brains to figure out how to keep himself a little longer, how to hug her, his dimpled laughing wife is terribly annoying to him rushed out.

Standing in the cold wind, Kang Jian looked up at the light from the bedroom window, that frustration, he was speechless.

Kang Jian tossed and turned, Dongfang turned pale, and then closed his eyes a little.

Speaking of which, the city of Binjiang is small and very large. For a city with several million urban residents, the chances of meeting someone are very small, but there are exceptions.

Kang Jian didn't expect that he would meet Yi Tongtong unexpectedly again soon, and they met in front of a piece of cheesecake.

A well-known construction company in the north set up a branch in Binjiang. The company opened today, and several city leaders were invited to cut the ribbon.After the ribbon-cutting, there was another activity, so Kang Jian found a reason to decline it.

On the way here, he found a cake shop on this street, which is a chain store of a well-known pastry shop in China.When she first got married, Bai Yan once bought two cakes from this shop.In the evening, put it on a small plate, pour two cups of green tea, and bring it to the study room as a supper for the two of them.

He doesn't like sweets, so he frowned and shook his hand. Bai Yan glared, "Leader, do you know how much this cake costs? It costs 28 yuan for such a small amount. I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes, letting my heart ache Bleeding, endured the pain, bought two yuan, how much would you have to buy if you replaced it with sliced ​​bread! If you think it looks ugly again, how can you be worthy of my heart and the 28 yuan?"

He saw that the dim sum on the plate was really small and a bit expensive. "It's too expensive, so why buy it?"

Bai Yan's long eyelashes fluttered a few times, "There is a reason why people are expensive. Although it is small, it is delicious. This is a wonderful realm that a pile of sliced ​​bread can't reach. Hehe, people should pamper themselves occasionally, yes Come on! Eat quickly, don't drop a single crumb."

His rigid thinking sometimes really can't keep up with his wife. Just now he accused her of stealing money with righteous indignation, and now he immediately defended her rights and interests.

Under his wife's threatening gaze, he took the plate and picked a piece of cake with a spoon and put it in his mouth.How delicious it is, I can't say, but he accidentally remembered the name of this cake.

He didn't go to Bai Yan's rental place for another two days, and the temperature dropped a few degrees in the past two days. He thought of going to get clothes at night, and bring some cakes for Bai Yan.

Courtesy is reciprocal, so that she won't care about him next time.

The little girl from the pastry shop enthusiastically packed the box for him and tied a beautiful bow with a ribbon. He took out his wallet, and someone behind him called timidly, "Kang Jian?"

He turned his head and met the eyes of the visitor.Yi Tongtong's beautiful eyes were full of waves, but he was calm.

Yi Tongtong tidied up very elegantly today, with a beige cashmere dress, a purple windbreaker on the outside, and purple high leather boots underneath, her long hair like silk, blowing softly in the wind.Behind her, the red sports car was parked.

"You like the cake here too?" Yi Tongtong was surprised.In my impression, Kang Jian never touched sweet things.

Kang Jian twitched the corner of his mouth as an answer, and continued to turn around to pay the bill.

"I also like the cheesecake here, and I always buy it once a week, otherwise life would be boring." Yi Tongtong blushed, and was in a hurry to find something to say, for fear that Kang Jian would turn around and leave like last time.

"You treat yourself really well." Kang Jian dropped the paper box carefully, and nodded to Yi Tongtong.He didn't let Jian Jian follow, and drove by himself today.

"Kang Jian," Yi Tongtong chased after him, "Are you... how are you doing?" He asked a stupid, unnutritious and vulgar question.

"It's okay." Kang Jian frowned and asked politely, "How are you?"

Yi Tongtong lowered his head and sighed sadly.

From that day to the present, she and Li Zehao have been in a stalemate.It just so happened that school started, and Li Zehao took the intensive class of the third year of senior high school this semester.The children in the intensive class are all human beings, and they need a teacher with great powers to be able to hold them down.Li Zehao was very busy, and he took on a few tutors privately, and it was even rarer to have the opportunity to accompany Yi Tongtong.But the two still eat together every day, and Li Zehao no longer spends the night at her apartment on weekend nights.Yi Tongtong is very clear about how to break the ice, as long as she acts coquettishly and confesses her love, she will definitely be able to make Li Zehao laugh, but she is unwilling.

Now she seems to be getting more and more intolerable for some of Li Zehao's habits, for example, he speaks Mandarin with a local accent; Xia Tian likes to walk around the house bare-chested and wearing only a pair of three-legged pants; for example, he chews vegetables and drinks soup very loudly For example, he loves to hug her and kiss her when he wakes up in the morning without brushing his teeth...

This stalemate ending made her feel relieved.She knew that she was a sacred princess in Li Zehao's mind, as long as she didn't abandon him, he would never abandon her.Being with him is a great gift to him.

She didn't know what she really wanted, Li Zehao was like a chicken rib to her, it was tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to throw it away.

The moment Yi Tongtong saw Kang Jian again, he understood what he really wanted.

Seeing that Yi Tongtong hadn't spoken for a long time, Kang Jian walked past her impatiently, opened the car door, and put the carton into the car.

"Kang Jian, are you in a hurry?" Yi Tongtong asked.

Kang Jian turned to look at her questioningly.

"If...you are not too busy, let's go in and have a cup of coffee. The ice cream here is also very good. We...haven't talked for a long time." Yi Tongtong reached out and grabbed Kang Jian's clothes, looking expectant.

Kang Jian wanted to pull back his coat, but she held it too tightly and failed for a while.

How could Kang Jian not know about Yi Tongtong's trick.

When they broke up, he felt a little guilty and compassionate towards her, and he solemnly asked Huaxing to take care of her as much as possible.But in hindsight, it wasn't really worth it.It's not that I feel sorry for the money spent, the money is spent, but the peace of mind, at least this matter is valuable.He was knowing what Yi Tongtong had said and done to Bai Yan, and after Yi Tongtong had robbed Liu Jing's boyfriend, he completely changed his view of her.

"Do we have anything else to say?" He looked at Yi Tongtong indifferently.

Yi Tongtong could hear the alienation in Kang Jian's mouth, but she didn't want to think about it, "I... I heard that you got divorced... Are you feeling bad?"

Kang Jian turned his head to look at the busy and noisy streets, and wanted to laugh, "Tongtong, do you know how people can make themselves happy?"

Yi Tongtong shook his head blankly.

"He who is content is always happy!" Kang Jian said word by word.

Yi Tongtong pursed her lips.
