I stand on the bridge and watch the scenery

Chapter 23 Love on the Edge
Zhang Zhenglan came to Xi'an unexpectedly, but left in a leisurely manner. He said goodbye to everyone in the compound one by one, polite and thoughtful, and when he looked at the closed house facing west, he just After taking a long look, he said to Shuiguang, "I'm leaving."

Zhang Zhenglan went back, and Shui Guang returned with Luo Zhi two days later. Zhang Zhenglan came to pick up the plane, looking calm and in good spirits.

He first sent them to their residence to unpack their luggage, and then went out for lunch together.After the meal, Luo Zhi rushed to the company. At the beginning of starting a business, scrambling to be the first and working hard are all basic.After Luo Zhi left, the remaining two looked at each other for a while, and Shui Guang turned his head first.Zhang Zhenglan blinked, stretched out her hand and waved in front of her eyes, "Miss Xiao Shuiguang, I dressed up specially today, at least give me some face and look at me more?"

So Shui Guang looked at him again, and Zhang Zhenglan laughed happily.

The time was so calm and undisturbed, or it was pushed to April in a conventional manner. During this period, Zhang Zhenglan's company's game was launched, and the results were remarkable, and this caused the streets, especially the entrances of Internet cafes, to hang high. A poster for this big game.

Shuiguang once went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, passed by an Internet cafe, walked past and turned back, looked at it for a long time and said, "Fortunately, only three images were processed."

And in the middle of this, a small thing happened, that is, Shuiguang met the man and woman who caused her to lose her first job.

That day when she went out to eat with Zhang Zhenglan, someone came up to greet Boss Zhang, with a hint of obsequious flattery. People in the same industry flattered Zhang Zhenglan. It was not surprising that they had seen it before. The flatterer was the proud and conceited client who tried to moles her on official business but was taught a lesson by her, followed by his girlfriend Sun Zhiping, and the two of them quickly recognized her, naturally they were surprised endlessly.

What is the relationship between Xiao Shuiguang and the boss of GIT?If I didn’t see it at first, but I still can’t see it afterwards, I’m blind. The boss of GIT never forgets to take good care of the person opposite him all the time when he’s polite to them. What’s this kind of move?
The jealousy and hatred that flashed across Sun Zhiping's face when he looked at the water was caught by Zhang Zhenglan. He was wondering where he had seen this woman before.Thinking about it for a while, I remembered that the woman was also there in the photo Zhang Yu showed him last time, and Shui Guang was holding her hand, obviously the two were arguing.

The concept of "dispute" made Zhang Zhenglan frowned, knowing that his girlfriend would not be at a disadvantage, but when he became partial, it was because the other party didn't know how to flatter him.

So later Boss Zhang told them: "Okay, my wife and I don't like to be disturbed by others when we have dinner, please contact my secretary for work matters." The attitude was quite cold.

Zhang Zhenglan has never been a person who beats around the bush, or he is a person who does things entirely on his own will. It didn't matter if he didn't have prejudices before, but now he has prejudices, and he doesn't bother to deal with them for a second, so some people say that it is wrong to please Zhang Zhenglan. It is more difficult, too willful and casual, and he is not sure about his mentality.

At this moment, the faces of the two standing there were a little ugly, and they hurriedly said goodbye after a few polite words. In fact, the man should be glad that Zhang Zhenglan didn't know that he had treated his sweetheart lightly. Although he failed, it was enough to kill him all over.

And Shui Guang looked at the two people who walked away, and sincerely sighed: "Fear the strong and bully the weak."

Boss Zhang continued, "You can also bully others."

"..."

The two got along more and more "harmoniously", Xiao Shuiguang may not have noticed it, but unconsciously, she began to rely on Zhang Zhenglan a little bit.She gradually learned to sleep with him. When she woke up at night and found that he was not around, she would subconsciously look for him. When she went shopping with Lin Jiajia and saw some men's products, she thought whether she should buy some for him.

I also gradually got used to his holding hands and kissing whenever I want, and even skin-to-skin contact, and I will naturally ask him about any problems at work, because asking him to ask is much less time-consuming than myself. many.

Shuiguang didn't want to admit it on the surface, but in his heart he adored Boss Zhang a little bit.

Some people say that love begins with faith, just like when she fell in love with Yu Jinglan when she was young...

One of Zhang Zhenglan's extra-curriculum projects recently is to learn cooking. A few days ago, secretary He Lan was ordered to register him. At that moment, Ms. He really lamented that the world is impermanent. People who have never even bothered to think about eating I went to learn how to cook, and I can only say that the power of love is infinite, and I can't help but admire that Miss Xiao Shuiguang can tame the unruly boss Zhang, and the boss seems to be willing to be locked up.

But sometimes I would see the boss standing by the window in a daze, as if he was thinking something, his expression was not completely relaxed, even a little... melancholy, to be honest, He Lan felt that he had read wrongly, following Boss Zhang for so long, melancholy This kind of emotion has never appeared on him before, so it is even more impossible for people who are in the period of passionate love to be depressed.

He Lan saw Xiao Shuiguang again one day in mid-April. At that time, someone from the company suggested going to the boss's house for dinner. After all, there is a sister-in-law. The boss's house should look like a "home", at least it can provide meals, right?It was also rare for the boss to know that their ulterior motives were not about drinking, so he allowed them to go there.

In fact, I can't blame them for being too gossip. I didn't know that Miss Xiao was the boss's girlfriend when I saw her the first two times. I found out later, but I haven't seen her once. I can see the beauties on the poster every day, but this is even more important. It makes people want to be curious, the beauty, the chivalrous woman, the girlfriend who makes the boss return to the right way in the world, the halo is like an idol!
The idol came late that day, and they ate hot pot that night, so they didn’t need anyone to go to the kitchen. To be honest, they didn’t dare to let the boss or sister-in-law cook. Surrounding the big table with people was a joy, but Miss Xiao didn't talk too much during the dinner, but she didn't express any repulsion or caring about having dinner with them. Even when they toasted, she drank it, which was very refreshing. of a person.

When they left, the boss came to see her off at the door. He embraced Miss Xiao with a smile on his face. It was the first time He Lan saw the expression of "happiness" on the boss's face in a real sense.

She really thought the boss was going to get married then.

Shuiguang saw Liang Chengfei again, and it was she who asked him out after she received an email.

In fact, she had a stomachache all day that day, and her body was hot and cold. She wanted to stay up until after get off work to check, but instead saw the email, which had no words, just a few photos.

Yu Jinglan's photo.

And in every photo, there was another person beside him, a strange woman, at least to her.

The water light slowly pulled down, she watched very carefully, because she knew too little about him at this stage.

She didn't even know that he could be so happy when he smiled.

Shui Guang looked at the sender after a long, long time.

Liang Chengfei came to the place mentioned on the phone, opened the door and entered, the waiter just walked up and said: "Looking for someone." He scanned around, found the person he was looking for, and walked straight over.

Liang Chengfei sat across from her, "Miss Xiao, I'm not the one looking for you this time."

"You know Yu Jinglan?" She seemed to only care about this, but Liang Chengfei knew that it was impossible, she felt uncomfortable, just like him.

Liang Chengfei smiled, "I said that I don't know him, but I know the person he loves."

The waiter came over, he ordered a cup of coffee, she stopped talking, and he continued: "I didn't intend to tell you, but after thinking about it, it's too unfair that I know the 'truth'."

"So I generously sent you the photos I have collected for so many years, so that you can enjoy them together."

"Miss Xiao, is it painful to find out that the person you love has never loved you?"

"Are you going to cry?"

Sweat dripped from Shuiguang's forehead, and he raised the corners of his mouth, "Reality is always cruel. When you peel off the appearance layer by layer, and those bloody facts are in front of you, you suddenly realize that you are so stupid. The person who loves with all his heart and soul, loves someone else."

Shui Guang forgot to hear what she said at the end. She seemed to say yes, but also seemed to say that I don't believe it, or she didn't say anything.

That night, Shuiguang's stomach hurt like a knife, and he got up in the middle of the night and fell to the ground.Zhang Zhenglan was awakened by the sound, and when she saw the person lying on the ground, she immediately woke up, jumped out of bed and picked her up, seeing the person in her arms was pale and almost drenched in sweat, naturally she was quite frightened, I called her several times but there was no response, and I immediately drove to the hospital with someone in my arms.

After an investigation, there was bleeding in the stomach and almost perforated the stomach. Fortunately, it was delivered in time.Zhang Zhenglan stayed by the side all night, and fell asleep on the edge of the bed almost the next morning.The person on the bed woke up again as soon as she moved. Zhang Zhenglan saw that she opened her eyes tiredly, and leaned close to her and asked in a low voice, "Is it still hurting? I'll call the doctor. If you squint for a while, it's still early."

Shui Guang gradually regained consciousness, looked around, and found that Zhang Zhenglan was looking at her worriedly in the hospital.

"Why am I here?"

"Why didn't you tell me you didn't feel well yesterday? You almost had your stomach perforated!" He was really terrified.

Shui Guang recalled yesterday, slightly lowered his eyelids, and said, "I'm fine."

Zhang Zhenglan looked at her for a while, and finally said "Yes", got up and called the doctor.

Shuiguang stayed in the hospital for five days. Zhang Zhenglan went to ask her for leave. Of course, Yunteng's boss immediately agreed and said he would come to give condolences. Zhang Zhenglan politely refused, hung up the phone, put on an apron and started Cooking porridge, when Shuiguang ate Zhang Zhenglan's porridge for the first time, he said, "It's okay."

Zhang Zhenglan said with a smile: "It's not bad, it seems that we have to make persistent efforts."

It seemed that everything had returned to normal. In May, Zhang Zhenglan's company organized its employees to travel to Hainan.Naturally, he wanted to bring his girlfriend along, but Shuiguang didn't like traveling very much, and he had just asked for a week's leave a while ago, so the repeated leave had a bad effect, so he rejected his offer.And Zhang Zhenglan is the boss of the company. It is unreasonable for him not to participate in this kind of group activities. He went, but he was not interested and concerned. As soon as he arrived in Hainan, he called the phone and said that it was hot. Shui Guang said: "Go to Hainan this time , it's hot."

Zhang Zhenglan said with a smile: "The people in the company voted for the place. I was forced to go to Liangshan. You are not authentic. You will not give up your life to accompany the gentleman, and let me suffer here alone."

"Then you come back early." Half sincerely, half telling myself, stop thinking about it, since I decided to come out, then it doesn't matter whether Jing Lan ever liked me or not, doesn't it?
And Zhang Zhenglan laughed when she heard what she said, "It makes me want to fly back right now."

Shui Guang calmed down and said, "I'll wait for you."

I'm waiting for you.

After the words had been spoken, Shui Guang realized that this sentence was also the last sentence Jing Lan said to her.After all, he still didn't want to be with her, saying "wait", at most he just didn't want to hurt her.

She waited for Yu Jinglan wishfully.And Zhang Zhenglan waited for her wishfully.

Is it really time to end?Jing Lan may not need her to wait from the beginning to the end, and she is also tired.Sometimes, when she looks in the mirror, she hardly recognizes herself in the mirror.The person next to him said, I like your eyebrows. If it was in ancient times, I would get up early every day to paint your eyebrows.

Maybe it's really getting used to him around, his words, his actions.She couldn't tell whether she liked it more or got used to it more?But after all, he was accepted.

That night, she found the piece of paper under her pillow that she had packed with a suitable size of transparent nylon. The handwriting on it was still as new as before: the flowers on Moshang are blooming, but they can return slowly.

"Jing Lan, I can't wait for you... I want to live a good life with that person. He is the same as I was back then, he will pretend to be stupid, but he is also sincere... If you hear it, then please You bless me."

A flock of pigeons flew from nowhere, and did not return home at night. They circled outside the window, and there was a faint sound, and the light of the water could not tell whether it was the whistle of the pigeons or the sound of the wind.

The next day was the weekend, Shuiguang pressed Liang Chengfei's number again.I don't know if it's because she has already made a decision, so when she said "I want to see her", her heart is as calm as a mirror.

"Why?" Liang Chengfei smiled shortly.

"Don't you want me to meet her too?"

The other side was silent for a while, and finally told her the address and time.

At noon the next day, Shui Guang waited at the entrance of the hospital for a while, and saw Liang Chengfei coming over.She had nothing to say to him, so she just said lightly: "Let's go."

The 22nd floor of the Municipal People's Hospital is the intensive care unit, and the aisles are deserted.Liang Chengfei stepped out of the elevator first, and Shui Guang followed behind him.The nurse on duty came over with a few bottles of medicine, and smiled at Liang Chengfei as if she knew her well.Shui Guang met her eyes, but caught a trace of regret flashing across her face.

Liang Chengfei stopped in front of the security gate, and didn't intend to go in, but said coldly: "2208."

Shui Guang didn't care about his attitude.She just came to see her...to end the knot in her heart.But it was really going to pass, Shui Guang became timid again.She raised her head and looked at the man beside her.She has always wondered why two faces so similar can make people feel so different.

"What are you looking at?" Liang Chengfei noticed her gaze and frowned.

"You really resemble him." Shui Guang looked at Liang Chengfei seriously and without emotion, "You are so similar, but I hate you so much."

"Oh?" Liang Chengfei mocked indifferently, "If Yu Jinglan had no family background or status, would you guys like him?"

It's not speculative to say more than half a sentence, only to feel that Liang Chengfei is a little different today, but he immediately changed back to his original shape.In his eyes, it seems that the world is full of dirty snobs, but isn't he the one who is always obsessed with money and status?

The water light entered the security door, and the smell of disinfectant inside was much stronger than outside, and there were subtle sounds from some machines in her ears. She went through one by one and found 2208.She stood still, did not go in, looked in through the glass, the time in the ward seemed to be still, and the people lying on the ward were sleeping soundly, it was no longer reminiscent of the appearance in those photos, without brilliance and Laughter, leaving only weakness and silence.

"Are you waiting for Jing Lan?" Shui Guang reached out to caress the cold glass, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart, including melancholy, discomfort, and regret.

Liang Chengfei still didn't come over, Shui Guang turned his head, and through the half glass of the security door, he saw him standing quietly with his back turned, feeling a sense of great sadness for no reason.She thought, he must love her deeply, but it was just a blind eye, which hurt herself and stabbed her.From this point of view, I am very similar to him.

Shuiguang suddenly felt a little sympathetic to him. She once copied a beautiful sentence on the Internet: I pray that the Buddha will let you grow up in front of the window where I look into the distance every day, and quietly stare at your daily comings and goings, your joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys. until old age and death.In the sun, the flowers are solemnly blooming, and I write my expectations of the past life, this life, and the next life in the petals and leaves.Do you know how long and how long I have missed the swaying leaves; you know how long and long I have longed for the colorful petals of falling flowers.

Knowing that that kind of hope is hopeless, but still waiting day and night.

Shui Guang walked out of the security door, Liang Chengfei turned to her, "After reading it, what do you think?" His voice was hoarse, Shui Guang looked out of the window, at a point of emptiness outside, "If she is awake and Jing Lan is still alive, I'm afraid they are already living together... Actually, it's pretty good."

Liang Chengfei sneered: "You can think about it."

Shui Guang said lightly: "Otherwise what else?"

This simple sentence choked Liang Chengfei, yes, what else could it be?However, he is not reconciled!
"I'm not reconciled, are you? Then Yu Jinglan never loved you, are you reconciled, Xiao Shuiguang?"

Shui Guang was not aroused by him, "I'm not reconciled, it's because I don't give up, it's not that I didn't get it."

Liang Chengfei sneered, "You are so great. Xiao Shuiguang, tell me, how did you manage to pretend to be affectionate and great while empathizing with others?"

Shui Guang knew that he was talking about Zhang Zhenglan, and this man always used Zhang Zhenglan to stimulate her after he had used Jing Lan.

Although she is in pain, she never wants others to bear her pain; and he seems to be able to relieve his pain a little only when he sees that others are in more pain than him.

"You can't see others like this, okay?"

"No." Liang Chengfei raised the corners of his mouth, but the coldness was evident in his eyes, "I just can't see you well."

Shui Guang smiled wryly, "Actually, I want to thank you for letting me know that other than me, there are people who loved him like that, and at least he loved someone..."

Liang Chengfei's expression froze for a moment, and then he was speechless.

After breaking up with Liang Chengfei, Shui Guang was always puzzled. She vaguely saw Zhang Zhenglan in the hospital lobby.But the familiar figure disappeared in a flash, always giving her the illusion of being in a trance.But when he thought that he should be in Hainan at the moment, he felt that he was supercilious.

After wandering around aimlessly for a while, my heart seemed to be emptied of everything, empty, but there was a kind of relaxation.

By the time we got home, it was dusk.He took out the key to open the door and entered the house, and turned on the light, Shui Guang was taken aback for a moment, he really came back.Zhang Zhenglan sat on the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling. She didn't recover until the light came on. Seeing her, she smiled, "You're back?"

Shuiguang nodded, and took slippers from the shoe cabinet to change.

Zhang Zhenglan was silent for a moment, and said with a bit of resentment in her tone, "You don't care about me, and you don't ask me why I came back early?"

When he spoke, his expression was calm.

Before going to Hainan, Zhang Zhenglan met Liang Chengfei the day after she was discharged from the hospital with stomach problems.

At a dinner, Zhang Zhenglan casually asked Deputy Director Wang, who had a good relationship with him, if there was a policeman named Liang in their unit, and he said he would also ask him to come out and sit down.

When Liang Chengfei was brought into the box by the waiter, he was still a little puzzled. There were either high-ranking officials or noble people here. Why did the higher-ups ask him for no reason?When he saw the person who was chatting with Deputy Director Wang, he understood a little bit, and a hint of ridicule was born in his heart.

When Deputy Director Wang introduced Liang Chengfei to Zhang Zhenglan, the latter didn't say much, just a few polite words out of habit. Later, when the two met in the bathroom, Zhang Zhenglan finally said, "Officer Liang, although we only We met on a few occasions, but I know you... well enough, I beg you not to trouble my lover again in the future."

Liang Chengfei was a little surprised, but his expression remained calm, "Boss Zhang, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Zhang Zhenglan didn't mind, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you know how to do it."

If Liang Chengfei only thought that this man was just a rich and powerful businessman before, now he can see that this man is very shrewd, or in other words, he is not what he looks like.

Liang Chengfei laughed, "Boss Zhang, I'm looking for her because of business. If you interfere with the police's work, you will be sued. I think you should be very clear about it, Boss Zhang."

Zhang Zhenglan became more serious, "It's understandable to contact my lover because of 'business', but if it's a trivial business, I think you can just tell me in the future."

Liang Chengfei suddenly remembered the man who rushed to complain against Xiao Shuiguang last time, and he withdrew the complaint the next day. He understood immediately after hearing what he said, and the way to deal with it was self-evident. Liang Chengfei couldn't help feeling disgusted. , said with a cold face: "Do you think money can solve everything?"

Zhang Zhenglan said bluntly, "At least most of the problems can be solved."

Contempt and a trace of humiliation flashed across Liang Chengfei's face. He has always hated such superior people, "Boss Zhang, do you want to bet with me——no matter how much money you spend, you are still worthless in her heart!"

Zhang Zhenglan wouldn't bet against anyone with her, but that didn't mean the other party wouldn't.

Liang Chengfei wasn't afraid of anything, what he was afraid of... was her attitude from the beginning to the end.

"Xiao Shuiguang, why didn't you ask me why I came back early?"

Zhang Zhenglan didn't wait for her answer, so he simply stood up and walked in front of her and said directly, "Tomorrow, come with me to Hangzhou." Shui Guang was already used to his demeanor, but couldn't help repeating it now. Once again, "Hangzhou?" She recalled that when she was a child, she had thought that when she grew up, she would walk across the Broken Bridge hand in hand with the one she loved, to see Lin Fengmian's small building, to worship the Lingyin Bodhisattva, and to make promises in the next life by the Sansheng Stone. ...

"Yeah, I have something to do over there, so I came back early." Zhang Zhenglan paused, "Hainan is a long way away. If you are not happy, you can ask for leave to accompany me. This time, you must accompany me. I will deal with the matter soon. We can finish it, and then we can have fun."

Shui Guang pondered, Zhang Zhenglan did not continue to lobby, he was waiting, waiting for her answer in agreement.

When Shui Guang agreed, it was worth a million dollars to Zhang Zhenglan.

That night, when he returned to Zhang Zhenglan's residence, he watched Shuiguang sitting by the bed and arranging their luggage, just like any couple in the world doing the most ordinary thing.

He lay down on the bed, covering his eyes with his hands.

"She is with me, do you want to come and see her?"

Zhang Zhenglan was a little tired, fell into a dream, saw that she was going to leave, and reached out to grab her desperately, "Don't go."

Opening his eyes, he found that in his room, Shui Guang was kneeling beside the bed to cover him with a quilt. He picked him up and hugged him into his arms. Shui Guang said, "I haven't packed my things yet."

"Let's fix it tomorrow."

Shui Guang didn't know the reason for his mood swings today, he just thought it was because he was tired, and he was muttering in his sleep when he just fell asleep.
