The Wildest Urban Marriages: Contract Couples

Chapter 28 The Lost Night

In the afternoon of the next day, Jerry and Xu Jing came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau after completing the formalities. When they left the gate, Xu Jing took out a key from his bag and handed it to Jerry, saying, "This is the key for the house. Take it here." Bar".

Jerry glanced at it, but didn't take the key. He just said, "If you don't find a place to live yet, you can still live at home. You can keep the key. I live outside, and I may come back to live on weekends. , You still have to come back during the winter vacation, so you can keep it."

After hearing what Jerry said, Xu Jing nodded and put the key back into the bag.

"How is your friend? When is the operation?" Jerry asked with concern.

"It's been done for about two days, and the situation is not very good." Xu Jing's eyes showed a bit of anxiety and helplessness.

"Need any help from me?"

"No, there's no need, it's only up to fate"

"Then I'm going to work at work, take care of yourself"

"Well, thank you, take care too"

Jerry hailed a taxi and went back to work.

As soon as Jerry entered the office gate, he received a call from Zhang Xuan, asking him to come to the office.

When they arrived at the office, Zhang Xuan signaled Jerry to close the door. As soon as Jerry sat down, Zhang Xuan asked impatiently, "How is the matter going?"

Jerry smiled slightly and said, "It's done, I just came from the Civil Affairs Bureau."

After hearing this, Zhang Xuan stood up in surprise, walked quickly around the desk, put his arms around Jerry's head, and kissed him on the forehead.

Jerry reminded softly: "Be careful, this is the office".

Zhang Xuan quickly let go of his hand, and quickly sat back on his office chair, returning to a solemn expression.

Seeing Zhang Xuan acting like a child, Jerry couldn't help laughing.

As if Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered something, he opened the office drawer, took out a bunch of keys from it, and handed it to Jerry, signaling to Jerry to quickly put it on. dazzle.

Zhang Xuan said in a low voice: "This is the key to the Taihu Villa. We will live there tonight. It is very remote, and most of the people who live there are out-of-town bosses, and it is not easy to meet acquaintances."

"Taihu Lake Villa?" Jerry was a little surprised. Jerry knew that it was the most expensive villa group in Jianghai City. Although it was remote, it was close to Taihu Lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers. There are hundreds of square meters and a large garden. Such villas are usually affordable only by big bosses. The average working class, even if they are dreaming, don't even think about living in them.

"Shhh, keep your voice down, I made an appointment at the bureau chief's meeting in the morning to allocate car 76366 for your exclusive use."

"Isn't that car allocated to the Bureau of Veteran Cadres? Isn't it appropriate to allocate it to me?" Jerry didn't want to arouse objections from the veteran cadres in the unit.

"It's okay, I've spoken to them and bought them again. You are the director of the office and you have a lot of things to do. It's reasonable to have a special car for you. Besides, you don't have a car, so you can go back and forth. Inconvenient, after work, at six o'clock, you pick me up at Wuhai Tea House, and I will wait for you there. I have something to go out."

Jerry nodded, got up, and walked out of Zhang Xuan's office.

As soon as he returned to the office, Xiao Li from the veteran cadre's office walked in and handed Jerry the car key of 76366.

After work, Jerry and everyone in the unit returned home, got up and left the office, and drove to Wuhai Tea House in a small car.

Jerry looked at his watch, and it was exactly six o'clock, so he called Zhang Xuan's cell phone and told her that the car had arrived.

Seeing Zhang Xuan coming out of Wuhai Tea House, he looked around and saw no acquaintances, so he walked to Jerry's car, opened the door, and got in the car.

Zhang Xuan got into the car and kissed Jerry on the face. Jerry smiled knowingly and reminded Zhang Xuan to sit down. Jerry started the car and drove towards Taihu Villa.

When the car drove into the Taihu Villa Community, it was dark and the street lights in the community were on, but Jerry could see it from a distance. It was like a mirror lake. Beside the lake was a slightly sloping hillside with green trees on it. In the shade, the camphor tree emits brilliant green light under the illumination of the street lamps. When a gust of wind blows, the leaves rustle, making the villas surrounded by trees even more mysterious.

Zhang Xuan asked Jerry to drive to a villa near the lake. The high wall and locked iron gate gave people a sense of austerity. Zhang Xuan rolled down the car window, took out a key from his bag and pressed it towards the gate. After he pressed it, the door opened automatically, and the street lights in the yard were also on. A beautiful European-style three-and-a-half-storey small western-style building appeared in front of him. Following the walkway in the yard, Jerry drove the car into the street on the left. In the garage, the car is parked.

Jerry got out of the car and walked into the yard. The yard was very large, about [-] square meters, with a two-meter-wide aisle paved with marble in the middle. It leads directly to the garage on the first floor. On the left side of the corridor is a flat lawn, on which some rare evergreen trees are planted. Under the shade of the trees, there is an antique wood carving table and several bamboo, wood and rattan chairs. A small swimming pool, the water in the pool is crystal clear, and under the reflection of the light blue pool bottom and street lights, the pool water glows with a faint blue light. Jerry exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"

Seeing Jerry's amazed gaze, Zhang Xuan walked over and took Jerry's hand, leaned happily on Jerry's shoulder, and said longingly, "This is our home. When you become the deputy director, I will try my best to keep it as good as possible." You push it to the position of bureau chief, and when it fails, I will be transferred from the finance bureau, and we will get married again."

Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, Jerry felt a little yearning in his heart. What he yearned for was not the warm family life, but the position of director general, the honorable status, and the feeling that many people look up to him.

Zhang Xuan held Jerry's hand and said, "Go in, there are still surprises."

Jerry followed Zhang Xuan and pushed open the door, facing the air-conditioning breeze blowing, very warm.The interior is magnificently decorated, the hall is very spacious, and the gorgeous crystal wall lamps decorate the hall with golden walls. There are several large leather sofas in the center of the hall, a high-end coffee table in the middle of the sofa, and a luxurious set of coffee tables opposite the sofa. Home theater, the antique escalator with carved dragons and painted phoenixes bends and rotates up from the left side of the hall. On the right side of the stairs is a restaurant. There is an exquisite glass dining table in the restaurant. The five-color patterns under the table are illuminated by the lights. With a layer of light silver, the ivory white wooden chairs make everything here look gorgeous and dazzling. There is a sliding glass door on the left side of the dining room leading to the kitchen.

Seeing Jerry's amazed gaze, Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows with joy, walked through the kitchen, and brought out several dishes like magic, such as braised carp in sour sauce, stir-fried pork with pickled peppers, stir-fried vegetables, pork ribs stewed soup, and they were still slightly hot. Angry, Jerry was stunned when he saw these dishes, and he didn't know how she made them. The two of them had just come back together, so why did she go to the kitchen and make a few dishes?

Seeing Jerry's stunned look, Zhang Xuan told Jerry that this is a part-time worker. She called before she came and told the part-time worker to go back after finishing the meal at [-]:[-]. There are regular part-time workers near the villas here. , I also hired a part-time worker to clean up or cook for myself on a regular basis.

Hearing Zhang Xuan's explanation, Jerry suddenly realized, and lamented the advanced service concept of this community.

Zhang Xuan told Jerry to sit on the chair, and he took out a bottle of XO and two wine glasses from the closet.

The lights are flickering, affectionate styles, this night, Jerry is intoxicated in the warm and romantic atmosphere created by Zhang Xuan
But when Jerry and Zhang Xuan were talking tenderly, Miao Miao returned home, deserted, and Wen Hui moved out all his own things. Everything here was familiar and strange, and a feeling of desertedness surrounded Miao Miao.

Miao Miao didn't cook alone, but took out a box of instant noodles from the refrigerator, soaked them in boiling water and ate them.After eating the instant noodles, Miao Miao turned on the TV. It was either news or a bubble TV series. Miao Miao found that she couldn’t calm down and watch TV. Miao Miao pressed the remote controller back and forth, but still couldn’t find one to calm down and watch. Miao Miao turned off the TV irritably, went to the study room, turned on the computer, and opened QQ. Since Miao Miao lived with Jerry, she seldom went online, and she was even more neglected to take care of her space. Friends on QQ, Ever since I met Jerry, I have been estranged. In the QQ profile picture, except for my own, which is colored, the others are all gray. Miao Miao stared blankly at her own profile picture, not knowing what to do What to write, don’t know what to read, just feel empty inside, a kind of emptiness, a feeling of boredom engulfing her tightly, I really want to talk to someone, but I don’t know who to talk to, Miao Miao finds that she is married After that, I basically alienated my original friends. It can be said that I have no close friends of the same sex or opposite sex.

The life of two points and one line cannot be simpler.

Quarrels and cold wars made me feel suffocated in this narrow "castle".How many times have I longed to get rid of that suffocating marriage, but now I really got rid of it, divorced, and freed, but Miao Miao feels extremely lost and empty. What happened to this person?What happened to life?Why did the future life that I dreamed of when I was a child become like this?

Miao Miao was upset and turned off the computer again, walked out of the study, and walked up and down in the hall, she didn't know what to do next, and how to pass the time, Miao Miao felt so anxious and helpless Help, she just wants to chat with someone at this time, to drive away the nameless irritability, so that she can be quiet for a while, who to chat with?Wen Hui?No, he might be having a crush on that dance teacher, isn't that just asking for trouble?Xiao Shan?There is a girl in the family who is in love, can you hear your inexplicable irritability?Where's Jerry?Maybe at home, didn't he say that his wife was gay? Those two should be in harmony, so he called him and asked him to say a few words of reassurance with him, maybe he could feel a little better.

"Du,—" Miao Miao looked forward to it, "Pa", the other party hung up immediately, Miao Miao was very disappointed and even more anxious, could it be inconvenient for him to answer the phone, but Miao Miao was still unwilling, and continued to call, "Du —— ", "Crack" the phone hung up right after the call, Miao Miao felt very disappointed, didn't he know how helpless he was at this moment, how eager he was for a little comfort, why did he hang up in such a hateful way As for her own phone, Miao Miao continued to call without giving up, only to hear the other party say "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off". Hearing this voice, Miao Miao completely gave up, her heart was cold, she felt that she was being overwhelmed by the world The forgotten person, no one cares about his own existence, why, when he needed him most, he didn't even answer the phone, last night was still lingering and affectionate, how could it be a passing smoke in the blink of an eye.Maybe he didn't answer his phone because of some urgent matter, it must be, Miao Miao comforted herself again after thinking about it.In fact, at that moment, Jerry was lying drunk on the luxurious bed of director Zhang Xuanruanxiang.

Miao Miao forced herself to calm down and not think about him, a burst of aroma of braised pork wafting in from the window, Miao Miao couldn't help but go to the window to find out whose dishes smell so appetizing.

Walking to the window, Miao Miao saw that the street lights in the community were on, and every house in the tall buildings was brightly lit.Standing in front of the window, Miaomiao longed for Jerry to turn on the phone and make a phone call for herself. The room was getting darker and darker, but Miaomiao didn't want to turn on the light. When I am alone in a dark room, sometimes I am really lonely, lonely, so lonely!

A gust of cold wind blew in from the window, Miao Miao shivered slightly, but she was reluctant to close the glass window, she just wrapped her arms around her arms, wrapping her chest tightly, and let the cold wind outside the window hit her face.

I don't know how long I stood there, until my body was blown cold to the bones, and Miao Miao's extreme desire to be comforted was relieved a little.

The lights in the community gradually dimmed, and everyone hid in the bedroom to watch TV. At this time, Miao Miao left the window sill, turned on the indoor light, walked into the bathroom, and returned to the bedroom after a short wash. , took off his clothes, sat on the bed, stared at the wall in a daze
After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Miao Miao shrank back into the quilt again, lay halfway on the bed, and fell asleep lonely.
