Chapter 5 The Golden Girl (1)
Before Li Sichuan got married, he had been romantic for a few years.

After all, people don't waste their youth, let alone someone as energetic and hobbies as him.

Just like his thick beard and hair, Li Sichuan's hormones are also exuberant.In the ten years since he was 28 years old, he needed to take a bath twice a day in summer, otherwise he would hate the smell, let alone his girlfriend.

He was notorious among his male classmates for being a diligent bather.When staying up late to make models, everyone didn't sleep for 5 to [-] hours in a row. Other students smoked, drank coffee, cursed, and threw things. He grabbed a towel and went to the bathroom to take a shower.Wash your hair, apply soap, dry off the water and put on your clothes again, and it will be resolved in [-] minutes.

When doing graduation project, Li Sichuan's girlfriend was a professor assistant who was three years older than him.At that time, he exhausted his brain to write a thesis, the person was like Bajie, and the house was like a pigsty.The girlfriend was upset to see it. She smelled the sweat in the room and suggested that they go to the bathhouse—the school bathhouse, she went to the women's bathhouse, and he went to the men's bathhouse.

Li Sichuan knew that women take a long time in bathing, so he washed his body slowly, washed his hair again, soaped twice, rinsed with water three times, and by the way pushed his design concept from the head to the back, and then back to the front from the back. After four or ten minutes, I slowly wiped off the water, put on my clothes, and went out to wait for my girlfriend at the entrance of the bathroom.

After waiting, he pushed the paper twice again, and after waiting for an hour, his girlfriend came out with a bright red face after taking a bath, and said to him: "I know you men take a bath quickly, I have already speeded up. You Didn't you wait long?"

The girlfriend exuded the scent of sandalwood, which made Li Sichuan lose his temper. Although he didn't wait long to say it, he scolded the word "fuck" hundreds of times in his heart.Then I swore in my heart, "Whoever makes me wait another half an hour, I will break up immediately! No matter how beautiful that woman is!"

In college, Li Sichuan never lacked a girlfriend, and when he went abroad to study for a master's degree, he even had a blonde beauty in his arms.He thinks that he is quite popular with women, he is a lover, and he is brave enough to try anything new, but no one has really moved him.

After graduating, he found a job in a Baltimore firm, and was sent back to China within a year, and his life was on track.Once he settled down, his parents urged him to have a girlfriend.At this time, Li Sichuan had put away his youthful indulgence, and honestly played the role of a returnee elite—wearing decent clothes, speaking thoughtfully, and buying a house with a mortgage.

He solemnly embarked on the ordinary life he used to despise, and put all the avant-garde thoughts baptized by San Francisco in the blog behind his network ID to commemorate his squandered youth.

Before marrying Xiaoyu, Li Sichuan met several girls.These girls are not young, and after eating a few meals, they are satisfied with him, implying marriage inside and outside the words.Those who were not satisfied with him said "goodbye" and went to meet other elites.But Li Sichuan was not in a hurry, he was the kind of person who thought it was never too late for a man to get married at 40.

Of course, the key is not getting married, but having a girlfriend.

It's just that Li Sichuan forgot that the situation at home and abroad is different.Domestic women, as long as they reach the stage of girlfriends, they are all on the road to marriage, and he doesn't want to marry any of them, he is not completely bad after all.Since everyone has different goals and cannot get together, don't delay others.

Li Sichuan maintained the title of single nobleman for another two years, until he met Xiaoyu before he was 30 years old.

Seeing Xiao Yu, what happened before is history.

After that, Li Sichuan cultivated his moral character, restrained himself and recovered his manners.He ignored everyone's objections, almost turned against his parents, and decided to combine with Xiaoyu.

He is not afraid of people saying that what he fancy is Xiaoyu's wealth.He knew in his heart that what he wanted was her.

From the age of 30 to the age of [-], Li Sichuan has been absurd for more than ten years, seeing all kinds of women, just to meet her.

Those women all played the same role in the course of his life.In Beijing opera, it is a secondary role, in novels it is a supporting role, in movies it is a passerby, in architecture it is mortar, in painting it is background color.Those women were all the foils in Zhou Xingchi's movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance". When the music started, he waited for Qiuxiang to look back and smile.Tang Yin, who is as chic and unruly as Zhou Xingchi, also feels like being struck by lightning.And he, since then, has been trying to be her lamb.

Before getting married, Li Sichuan's parents met Xiao Yu once, not at home, but by chance when they were eating in a restaurant.Li Sichuan was also stunned for a moment, then forced himself to be calm, and introduced to both sides.

Xiao Yu just greeted Mr. Li and Mrs. Li lightly, and didn't mean to sit down to eat and chat with them and make a good relationship with them at all.

Li Sichuan ate this meal very calmly.Such accidents can happen, so what is there to worry about?Xiaoyu didn't want to give up, even if her parents didn't like her, and they were not satisfied with such a girl as a daughter-in-law, at worst, they wouldn't bring Xiaoyu to entertain relatives in the future, and just don't make them angry.

Therefore, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai with Jiang Taigong's posture, and had a good meal with Xiaoyu, without mentioning the unhappiness just now.The meal was two hours old, and by the time they left, his parents were gone.

Xiao Yu also never mentioned what happened just now, she was neither colder nor warmer.It seemed that what she met just now was just an ordinary person who nodded and acquainted, so ordinary that she didn't even have curiosity.

Li Sichuan sent Xiaoyu to where she was going before returning to work.When he was about to leave work, he received a series of death calls from his parents, telling him to go home immediately and accept the questioning of the elders.He knew that he would pass this test sooner or later, so he immediately went home in good spirits.

Li Sichuan first went to the supermarket and walked around, carrying two barrels of oil, two bags of rice, two boxes of milk, and two boxes of fruit, piled them up on the floor of the living room with a playful smile, and thoughtfully said to his mother, "I know these things are heavy. I'll bring it to you so you don't have to go to the supermarket to move it."

His parents looked solemn, turning a blind eye to these heavy objects, and just asked if this girl today was his girlfriend or someone to marry?If it's just a girlfriend, they don't say a word, he will play for another two years before getting married, and they have no objection.

Before that, they had been persuading him to get married early, move out of his elderly grandmother, and even considered the household registration of his future wife and the education of his children in the future.But today they said, "You can play for another two years, we are not in a hurry."

It can be seen that he is really dissatisfied with this girl.

Li Sichuan said a few perfunctory words casually, watched the TV series with them for a while, and then left.At that time, he didn't dare to guarantee that I would definitely marry this girl.It's not that he is afraid of his parents' opposition, but that he is not sure that Xiao Yu will marry him.Since the future is unknown, why should he bother his parents.

After leaving his parents' house, he didn't go back to his house, but called Xiao Yu as soon as he got in the car.

Xiao Yu picked it up and asked him, "You still not resting so late? Where are you?"

Li Sichuan said, "On the way to your place."

Xiao Yu smiled lightly on the phone and said, "Then come here."

At that time Li Sichuan didn't know that Xiao Yu was a person who didn't sleep at night, he thought that if she invited him to her boudoir, he would have a beautiful night.Only when he got there did he realize that he thought of her too simply.There was a lot of people in her room, and the smell of alcohol and smoke made people unable to open their eyes.The people in the room were standing, sitting or lying down, in groups of three or five, and no one was awake.

It was only an hour since they made the phone call. At that time, Xiao Yu was still awake and speaking in an orderly manner, but after a while, the room became like this, and she actually cared about herself in front of a room full of guests. fell asleep!On the sofa, she was covered by several overcoats, sleeping soundly, with only one hand exposed.That hand was slender and white, with a one-inch-wide flat gold bracelet on its wrist.This bracelet is wide, with a hollow in the middle, and a few emeralds inlaid.The so-called resplendent and magnificent, that is what it means.

When he saw the bracelet, he knew Xiao Yu was here.When they were together in the afternoon, she was still wearing this red gold jadeite bracelet.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled away all kinds of clothes on her body, revealing her face underneath.Her face was flushed with sleep, as flawless as a baby.She has this ability, even though she is in the most absurd environment, she always looks as pure as a fairy.It seems that she just broke into someone's party by mistake and went the wrong way. She came here to rest, drink some water, and then continue to look for her place.

Perhaps due to the influence of the surrounding atmosphere, he lost his mind for a moment, sat down on the ground in front of the sofa where she was lying, and bent over to kiss her face.Her face was hot, and he shivered from the heat.He slid down a little and landed on her lips.

With a "beep" sound between her lips, she woke up.She blinked, and the thick eyelashes brushed his face, making his heart itch.Her dazed eyes focused, and seeing him clearly, she laughed again and again: "I'm Huo Xiaoyu, but your surname is Li?"

Li Sichuan thought at the time, get the hell out of everyone and everything, if he and Xiao Yu could get drunk like this, who would wake up?
Li Sichuan and Huo Xiaoyu met at another reception, another bar.

For a friend's birthday, borrow another friend's bar to entertain the group of friends.Friends brought their own friends again. It was originally a small gathering of 30 people, but later the number exceeded a hundred.When there are too many people, it becomes chaotic and noisy.In the end, I mixed it with any wine, and the taste became very strange.Li Sichuan is so particular about wine, he doesn't want to drink these messy things.Just as the bartender was about to leave in a hurry, he went to the bar to make a drink for himself.

A woman sat up, propped her head on her hand, watched him mix a Kiel Royale, and nodded, "Nice gesture, new?"

It is very common for Li Sichuan to be approached by beautiful women.He nodded yes, and asked, "What do you want, miss?"

The woman was wearing a dark purple chiffon dress with numerous thin pleats on the chest, and then hung on her shoulders by a thin shoulder strap, revealing a large area of ​​skin.On her snow-white neck was a necklace made of gold coins the size of a coin. She had a dark haircut that pressed her eyebrows. Under the hair curtain was a pair of black eyes drawn with long blue eyeliner—— Dressed like Cleopatra.

But Li Sichuan felt that she was extremely good-looking, Huang Chengcheng's gold was not tacky for the first time.

Cleopatra looked at his wine and asked, "What do you think I should drink?"

Li Sichuan doesn't know how to mix many wines, but at this time he must pretend to be very proficient.So he said in a casual tone: "Then mimosa."

"Okay," said Cleopatra, "I like it."

Li Sichuan found champagne and orange juice in the pile of wine bottles, and made a glass of mimosa for her.

Cleopatra took a sip and said, "Excellent." Then she pursed her lips and smiled, revealing two small grains of rice under the corners of her mouth.

Looking at her smile, Li Sichuan felt his mouth dry.He asked, "Miss, what's your name?"

Cleopatra blinked exaggeratedly and said, "Cleopatra."

Li Sichuan laughed, picked up his wine glass, clinked it with her, and said, "Long live Caesar."

Cleopatra also laughed, this time very happily, the gold coin on her chest shook a few times, swinging on Li Sichuan's heart.Cleopatra drank the wine in the glass and got up to leave. Li Sichuan was anxious and asked, "Can I ask your phone number?"

She looked back and smiled: "Who are you? Anthony?"

He is not Antony, not worthy of Cleopatra, and can only watch her go.But the goddess of fate wanted to take care of him this night, so she took two steps when her companion came over and called her by name, "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu."

It turned out that her name was Xiaoyu.What a nice name.

In a blink of an eye, Xiaoyu and her companions started dancing.The companion wore a tight floral shirt and had curly hair tied behind his neck.It's a man, but his posture is even more enchanting than Xiaoyu's.

Xiaoyu is dressed in purple and has black hair, her face is illuminated by golden light, and her eyes with blue eyeliner are shining like cats - she is as dignified as a queen.

Li Sichuan couldn't help leaving the bar, walked to the dance floor, patted the enchanting man lightly, and signaled to exchange partners.Seeing that Xiaoyu had no intention of objecting, the man generously handed over the beautiful woman in his arms to him.He took Xiaoyu, danced slowly, put his face next to her ear and asked, "Xiaoyu? Is your surname Huo? My surname happens to be Li."

Xiao Yu's smile spread across his face, and the smile went straight into his eyes.

She replied, "I'm Huo Xiaoyu, Jinyu's Yu. Are you Mr. Li Yi?"

"Although it's not Mr. Li from Yizhou, it's not far off. My name is Li Sichuan." For the first time, Li Sichuan was 12 points grateful to his parents for giving him this name.

"Yizhe Chuanye. It's really close." Huo Xiaoyu's eyes flickered as the light ball above his head turned.She and he moved slowly, swaying to the music.After the first song was over, he didn't let her go, and when the second song started again, he continued to dance slowly with his arms around her.Huo Xiaoyu finished the song with him quietly. When the music stopped, she said a series of numbers, and then said with a smile: "My phone."

Li Sichuan is a talented student in the Department of Architecture and is very sensitive to numbers.He quickly memorized the string of eleven-digit numbers twice in his heart and wrote them down.Then watching her and her companion leave, a part of her body seemed to be separated from his body, leaving with her.He knew the missing part, its name was "heart".

The next day he called Xiao Yu, but the phone was turned off first, and then it was not in the service area.He made countless phone calls a day, almost thinking that what she told him was a fake number, and also doubted his memory. Three days later, when he was downcast, the call actually got through.Li Sichuan couldn't believe it, he hurriedly said, "Huo Xiaoyu? I'm Li Sichuan. Do you remember me?"

"I remember, Mr. Li Yi." Xiao Yu first smiled lightly, and then said in a very apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, I won't be in Shanghai these three days."

Li Sichuan didn't bother to complain about her, but he was lucky that she still answered his calls.He cleared his throat and said, "It doesn't matter, I just greet you." He pretended to ask casually in a casual chat tone, "Where did you go to play?"

There was noise on Xiaoyu's phone, apparently in a public place."Hong Kong," she said.

"Did you use the number and mobile phone over there?" Li Sichuan had nothing to say.

"Well, I turned it on as soon as the plane landed." His number must have flooded her phone.

Li Sichuan froze for a moment, and immediately came to his senses. "Are you at Pudong Airport now?"

"Yes."

"Where are you? I'm here to look for you. I'm also at the airport, on the third floor." Li Sichuan was in a hurry, picked up his luggage and left the cafe.

"You... ok, I'm going to the exit soon."

"Don't leave there, I'll be right there."

Li Sichuan really rushed to the exit just like the phrase "three steps and two steps, two steps and one step", and he saw Xiaoyu at a glance among the crowds hurriedly leaving with their suitcases.She was talking to someone. She was wearing a long black skirt, a small pale pink leather jacket, and her hair was cut close to her ears.

He had only seen Xiao Yu once before under the revolving lights in the bar. At that time, she was still wearing heavy makeup and different clothes, which was extremely camouflaged, but he didn't know why, when he saw this woman with short hair and leather clothes, he knew her It's Huo Xiaoyu.He had such an intuition—only she had such narrow shoulders, such a slender waist, and such a graceful figure.

The young man she was traveling with was the one who had danced with her at the bar that day.His long curly hair fell back in a ponytail, and he wore a black tights over a smoky gray cashmere cardigan.The two tones of unruly and refined are expressed by him with these two materials at the same time.Based on his years of experience and experience in San Francisco, he immediately saw that the long-haired man was gay.

The long-haired man was intimate with Xiao Yu, said a few words, kissed her on the cheek, dragged the suitcase and left.Xiao Yu stood there waiting with a small handbag, quite leisurely, not at all like someone who had been on a plane for two hours.

Li Sichuan slowed down and approached her slowly, never leaving her eyes, he wanted to engrave her image in his mind.Across the crowd, she also felt it.She turned around, looked at him, and froze.
