the time you love

Chapter2
I responded vaguely, and when I walked to the entrance, I remembered something again, so I ran back to the bedroom, found a brooch in the drawer of the bedside table, and fastened it on.

I'm going to meet the man who indirectly gave me this apartment as a dowry gift to my sister.I took a taxi to the place where he works, the most famous private hospital in the city.

Get out of the car and don't go in directly.I have an inexplicable fear of hospitals, and the smell of disinfectant makes my stomach sick.Call him on the cell phone and simply say: "I'm here, come out for a while."

After waiting for a long time, he came out slowly. I have long been used to his high profile. I glanced at the watch on my wrist and realized that the waiting time this time was really not too long.

I looked up and stared at him intently.There was no change from the last time I saw him. He was wearing a white coat, with no expression on his face, and he was so calm that it was almost cold.Yes, grim, that's the right word!
He asked casually, "Why don't you say something before you come back? I can pick you up at the airport."

I smiled perfunctorily: "It's very convenient to take a taxi from the airport, you're so busy..."

He gave me a deep look, as if to see through me.I seem to hear his slight cold snort, this man is indifferent, but I can easily feel his magnetic field.

This person is Zhou Nuoyan. His younger brother is my brother-in-law. I didn’t know how to call him at first, but my sister called him uncle. I wanted to laugh when I heard that. He is 31 years old, with a handsome appearance. It is no exaggeration to describe it.Seven years ago, he asked me to call him by his first name, which I gladly accepted.

"He Bixi, did you come back alone?" Under the sun, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at me.

"No," I suddenly felt mischievous, "and my friend, she will come back with me."

Zhou Nuoyan's iceberg-like face finally changed, and there was a haze between his brows, "Where do you live? Him?"

I looked at him strangely and said, "Of course I live in my house, it goes without saying!"

"He Bixi! You actually let him live in the house I gave you!"

I smiled lightly and reminded him: "I heard that the house is my sister's dowry."

"Without me, do you think Zhou Shouxin can afford a house?" Zhou Shouxin is his younger brother, that is, my brother-in-law, but I have never seen him give a good face, and he always calls him by name like this every time.

Not to be outdone, I raised my voice and said: "You are his elder brother, the elder brother is like a father, it is only natural to prepare the dowry for him."

"It's just and right?" He laughed angrily, "Then I raised you for seven years, and it's just and right to provide you with food and clothing?"

My face immediately turned red, as if someone had slapped me hard.Biting her lips to adjust her breathing, she had the strength to say, "I owe you this, and I will definitely pay it back."

He looked contemptuous and dismissed my remarks.After a while, he asked again: "What kind of person is he? A college classmate?"

I smelled something unusual from his words, and finally had a chance to regain my face, pretending to ask cautiously: "Very good, do you want to see her?"

He gave me a hard look, and said coldly: "Of course I want to see you! Don't forget that I am your guardian."

I couldn't help showing a sneer: "You might as well say the creditor, this word is much more accurate."

"Sorry, I'm not from the Chinese Department." His complexion was extremely bad, he turned and left, and said, "Wait for my call."

"Okay." I answered him lukewarmly, looking at his stiff back, a whirlwind of revenge blew up in my heart.

I thought he would ask me to accompany him for dinner and coffee, but I didn't expect to get away so soon.Seeing that it was still early, I called Fang Wenlin and asked her to wait for me to go out for dinner together. Fifteen minutes later, I received a call from Zhou Nuoyan in the taxi.

I asked him what was the matter with a bitter face, and kept my voice as calm as possible. I couldn't help but feel lucky that my mobile phone is not advanced enough to video.

"Do you remember our agreement?"

"Of course I remember." Nonsense!can i forgetHow could I forget!The driver flinched when he saw the fierce look in my eyes in the mirror.I ignored it and continued to act viciously. What Zhou Nuoyan said was the agreement and guarantee letter I signed with him before I went to university. The content was very absurd, but I had no choice.

"Very well, I hope your friend will not disappoint me too much."

"I don't think so." I know he misunderstood, but I just want him to misunderstand and drive him crazy.And he got the trick as I wished, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned the promise back then so eagerly.

He was silent for a while, and suddenly brought up an unrelated topic, "You wore the clothes I gave you today, and you still have a brooch."

"Yes." I didn't feel awkward at all. I just made it for him to see. If he didn't show it, I wouldn't feel disappointed. If he said it, I wouldn't be embarrassed.

Since the age of 16, I have been trying to please this person intentionally or unintentionally. Although I pissed him off far more times than I did when I was pleasing him, these two conflicting motives seemed to melt into my blood and made me And he was able to live with him in the quarrel for many years.

In the next few days, Fang Wenlin and I went out every day, mostly playing.On the fourth day, more and more phone calls informing her to go to the interview gradually increased, so I also stopped and stayed in the nest all day, reading books and watching DVDs, and fell asleep. It was such a joy.The mobile phone is turned on 24 hours a day. Although there is a fixed line, but with Zhou Nuoyan's usual style, the phone is basically useless.My main purpose was not to wait for him, but to wait for Shen Su. I hoped that he would call and at least say hello, but no, I was really disappointed.

I began to doubt my relationship over the past two years, and Shen Su, do I really understand him?Or, this person is just a redemption in my subconscious.

Redemption!

This is the only question I think about with my brain in the days of eating, drinking and having fun recently.But I just stayed on the level of yes or no, and refused to delve into it. Life is still unbearably light, but I am afraid that the conclusions I draw will be too heavy to bear.

Whenever I couldn't help but think wildly, I hurried to search in the drawer under the DVD player. There were a bunch of discs there, bought by Zhou Nuoyan, many of which I hadn't seen.This man has a good shopping habit. He will buy everything he sees without hesitation. I appreciate his "good" habit very much, because I have benefited a lot from his generosity.

On this day, I didn’t wake up until noon. I went to the bathroom to take an aromatherapy bath, wiped off the water stains on my skin with a bath towel, wrapped myself in a set of clean sheets, ran to the living room and lay down on the big sofa to start First dish every day.

It's an interesting film called "Love Call Transfer". Later, I checked it online and found that it was a new film, which means that when I didn't live here, Zhou Nuoyan often visited my cabin.

Halfway through, Fang Wenlin came back.I asked her about the results of the interview, and she was obviously a little tired, but she was in high spirits, because the advertising agency she was most optimistic about had decided to hire her.I've heard of that company, which is small in scale, but has a good reputation. In recent years, several plans that have attracted national attention have come from it.

Fang Wenlin was so happy, she hugged me and kept talking.She has always been self-disciplined. I seldom see her lose control of her emotions. I used to worry that her nerves would be tense. For those who turned around, take this internship search as an example, there were countless units that were interested in recruiting her, but she rejected them all, and she was only thinking about the one she liked.Now, she finally got what she wanted, and I'm so happy for her.Then she asked me when I was going to report to the unit. After I said the New Year, she nodded and said me too, and my mobile phone started ringing loudly.

My face changed slightly, I threw myself on the table and grabbed my phone to look, it showed Zhou Nuoyan's number, this plague god, he finally thought of me.I sighed, and before answering I was too busy mourning the passing of the good times I had these days.

I answered, his voice was as nice as ever, but also as cold as ever.I paid more and more attention, and finally heard some clues from his calm voice—he seemed to be in a good mood, which is a good sign!

"Tourma, call your friend and have dinner together." It seems that my guess is right, he will only call me Tourma, not He Bixi, if he is not angry.

"Okay." I agreed to him straightforwardly. Lies will always be exposed, and it is enough to play tricks on him for a few days.While listening to him, I gestured to Fang Wenlin to go out for dinner.After he reported a place, I decisively hung up before him.

Fang Wenlin asked curiously: "Who is so nice to invite us to dinner?"

"Zhou Nuoyan." I cast a puzzled look at her, and suddenly felt a headache. I never mentioned this name for four years in college, and I was even more silent about everything related to him. Now I suddenly put him from the basement into the sun. Here, I don't know how to explain my relationship with him.After hesitating for a long time, he said lightly, "My brother-in-law's eldest brother is a rich surgeon."

"Why did he invite me to dinner? I don't know him."

"I met him soon after I went there. He is spiritually empty and full of enthusiasm for meeting strangers."

"I'm not interested in old men."

"Ha!" I laughed, "I promise you will never have such thoughts after seeing him."

"Really?" Fang Wenlin became a little interested, but she was still skeptical. She is a rigorous person. Unless she saw it with her own eyes, she would give me 50.00% trust at most.

"It's more real than real gold." I ran to change my clothes, forgetting her series of questions about Zhou Nuoyan.Anyway, she will know when she sees him. Apart from acknowledging his good looks, I don't want to bother with good words. Because he has raised me for seven years, I don't want to criticize him in front of outsiders.

The location is a high-end western restaurant.

When Zhou Nuoyan saw Fang Wenlin, he didn't have the absent-mindedness and anger of being teased as I expected, but a touch of joy.He had a kind face, smiled and shook hands with her, and took care of her in every possible way.

I could see surprise in Fang Wenlin's eyes, such a mature and quiet person would be flattered and overwhelmed sometimes.He turned around and looked at Zhou Nuoyan coldly. Today he was wearing a navy blue casual suit, the fabric texture and tailoring workmanship were all excellent, with a moon white shirt inside, and the buttons on it were in the shape of golden hollow balls.I thought it looked familiar, and I quickly remembered seeing it in a fashion magazine two days ago.I curled my lips, the doctor now is really fashionable and rich, a shirt is enough to cover my living expenses for two months in school.

Maybe my gaze was too presumptuous, Zhou Nuoyan glanced at me, and his eyes fell on the almost untouched steak in front of me, "What? It doesn't suit your taste?"

"No, no, very good." I lowered my head hastily, and picked up the goblet containing the red wine. Accidentally, the red wine splashed on my clothes. I quickly tore off the napkin and stood up.

"I'm going to the bathroom, excuse me."

After dawdling in the bathroom for a long time, I slowly straightened my clothes and slowly looked at my face in the mirror. A woman passed by me. I smelled a smell of cigarettes and blurted out: "Can you give me a cigarette? "I guessed she would not refuse, and sure enough she nodded, took out a cigarette case from her bag, smoked one and handed it to me.

"Is there a fire?" She asked as she took out a lighter and lit it for me.

"Thank you."

She opened the door and went out, and I simply sat on the washstand, stretched my long legs, and leisurely puffed out smoke rings.During my four years in college, I learned to smoke, but I have no addiction to smoking. Whether I smoke depends on my mood.Suddenly I think of Shen Su again, he is simply a model of the new good man in the 21st century, he does not smoke, drink, play online games, go to bars, or go shopping and eat alone with girls other than me. He is always so good that I feel ashamed.

If, at the beginning, he knew the existence of that contract, I'm sure he would not start dating me, even if he liked it, he would give it up.Fang Wenlin has never been optimistic about our relationship, and once told me the following: "He Bixi, a boy like Shen Su has a superior family background, has a high self-esteem, and is held in the palm of his hand by his parents and sisters as a priceless treasure." The best thing for such a person is to find a [-]% perfect girl to match him, but He Bixi, are you?"

I wasn't, and I'm sorry to say at the time, I wasn't.Despite self-knowledge, the brave are fearless like moths to a flame.

At this time, the bathroom door was opened, and a lady wearing glasses walked in, looking at me like a bad girl.I jumped down quickly, extinguished the cigarette butt, and threw it into the wastebasket next to me.

She turned on the faucet to wash her hands and said, "Little girl, it's not good to smoke at a young age."
