all the mornings

Chapter 6 The Golden Girl (2)
Then, she brushed her hair.

Li Sichuan's heart skipped a beat.

Women put on makeup for a reason.They only care about their appearance in front of the people they care about.A second ago, she said goodbye to her companion casually, relaxed her body, and took a waiting posture.In the next second, she focused on her appearance, subconsciously wanting to make a good impression on the other party.This shows that she is also nervous about him.

That's good, he was afraid that all of this was done by him alone, and the other party didn't care at all.The three-day wait was a huge torment for him.

He knew that he had found the person he had been waiting for, and he was afraid of missing her.

Li Sichuan walked in front of her, paused for a while, and greedily looked at her enough.These three days seemed to him as long as a century, and every time the phone call was empty, it was a point of disappointment.

"Xiao Yu, I'm Li Sichuan." After he finished speaking, he waited for her to nod and smile before asking, "Are you tired?"

"Fortunately, I fell asleep on the plane," she smiled, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going back to Beijing. How much time do you have?" he asked.

"Is three hours enough?"

"More is better. Then come with me."

"it is good."

She didn't ask where she was going with him, she just answered yes.Li Sichuan took her hand, went to change the ticket to four hours later, checked her luggage, and then took her out of the airport empty-handed, boarded the maglev train, and arrived at Longyang Road Station in 7 minutes.

He took her out of the station, got into a taxi, and said to the driver, "Go to Century Park."

When she heard it, there was a "puchi" and she smiled.

He glanced back at her and said innocently, "Do you have a better suggestion?"

"No, your proposal is very good and very creative." Xiao Yu replied with a serious face.

The car arrived at Century Park in a blink of an eye, and Li Sichuan took Huo Xiaoyu's hand for a walk in the ginkgo forest.

It was late autumn, the ginkgo tree was yellow, and the golden leaves of Kazuki shone golden in the evening sun.The wind blew, rustling.Some early withered leaves fell to the ground, like a layer of gold leaf.They walked on these gold leafs, which was so luxurious that people couldn't bear to step on them.

Xiao Yu smiled sideways at him, "What do you want to say?"

He looked at her again.

Her hair was short and thinly shaved, making her eyes look bigger.She wore a golden necklace around her slender neck, and a gold leaf pendant made of hollow oak leaves fell just below her collarbone.The end of the clavicle protrudes a little, whitening the small piece of skin, and then casting a shadow underneath, just as beautiful as a sketch.He knew it was oak leaves.He spent four autumns in North America, and he often saw them on campus.The oak leaf was solid gold, with slender, lifelike veins that made him wonder if it was made of real leaves, like the leaves used to make bookmarks in middle school.She used a bookmark as a pendant, and she herself was a book, waiting for him to open it and read it.

So he asked her seriously, "Can you be my girlfriend?"

"Okay." She only answered one word briefly.

"It's a girlfriend, not any other kind of friend." He said seriously: "It's the kind of boyfriend and girlfriend, one-on-one. I will find every opportunity to find a way to be with you and spend time together. All free time, like now."

Like now, he's putting off his flight time just to be with her.They tell their heartfelt love, interlock their fingers, rub each other's ears, kiss, hug... It's not a simple bed, not a one-night stand, but a couple with a fixed relationship.

So he asks her to be his girlfriend.He hopes that they will be one-on-one; the kind who will naturally unbutton each other's clothes when the mood is right in the future; the kind who will marry with the hope that they can stay with each other for a lifetime.

Xiao Yu understood, and looked at him with research eyes.He faced her assessment calmly and left himself and the future to her to decide.After a while, she said, "I'll have to try before I can answer."

He stopped, and stood under a tall ginkgo tree, "Let the King slaughter you."

She threw the bag in her hand on the gold leaf piled up on the leaves, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and kissed his face, "Kiss me, and I will know."

He took her shoulders, pressed her against the tree trunk, leaned over and kissed her.Use all the kissing methods he knows, using the experience he has accumulated for more than ten years.

"Would you like more tests?" he joked, waiting for her to look away and catch her breath. "For now, this much is enough." She nodded with satisfaction without blushing.

"Look, I'm right in proposing to come here. If I said to go to the hotel, but you said that so much is enough, wouldn't it be embarrassing." He said triumphantly.

"Oh, shut up." She didn't want to listen to his good news, and continued to enjoy his kiss.

He kissed her for a long time, from eyes to ears, from lips to neck, it took so long that he almost couldn't hold it anymore before he let her go and said: "Well, you already have the tone of a girlfriend like you .”

She looked at him with a half-smile.

He laughed too, picked up her bag, shook her hand, and left the ginkgo tree that had contributed so much.

They roamed the park for three hours.Time seems to have grown golden wings, walking fast, Li Sichuan felt that he had just said a few words, Xiao Yu looked at the gold watch on his wrist, and reminded him that he had to board the plane.He had no choice but to send her into a taxi and return to the airport by himself.

It was almost one o'clock in the morning when we arrived home from Shanghai.

Early the next morning, he went to work to report on his work, and he was busy all morning. During lunch, he found time to call Xiaoyu, but she didn't answer.He put down the phone and thought, "I have to change my job."

Xiaoyu didn't return his call until night, and after a few words, it was past twelve o'clock—the time had never passed so fast.

In the next three months, Li Sichuan took every opportunity to meet her on business trips.Xiaoyu has also been to Beijing several times, and every time she appears in front of him, she always dresses up to make people's eyes shine.She wore beautiful and fine clothes, made up in just shades and shades, and wore some gold ornaments.Sometimes it was a necklace of twining branches of honeysuckle, with a sapphire bird set in the breast, in the style of Master Morris' "Strawberry Thief".Sometimes it is a golden thread like a waterfall tassel, with golden beads on the end.Li Sichuan thinks that she must like gold jewelry very much. Of course, she looks good wearing it, just like the first time they met, she was wearing a necklace made of gold coins. The best woman is her.

Xiao Yu also likes to wear solid-colored clothes.Her outfits range from autumn to winter without repeating the same.Delicate clothes set off her snow-white skin, short jet-black hair, and gold jewelry glittered on her body, making her an eye-catcher wherever she went.

On Christmas, Li Sichuan went to Shanghai to see her.She took him to a party, which seemed to be a trendy circle, and the people who went there were all dressed up in colorful clothes.Xiao Yu wore a long skirt in a rich green color, the fabric was nothing fancy, it was the common double palace bright silk, but it was a little more ironed.But the lace of gold thread was rusted on the neckline, the color was gorgeous and the pattern was complicated.Gives off a subtle glow in interior lighting.He found that many female guests were looking at her green dress with gold trim, and he took another look curiously, and found that the hem of the skirt seemed to be embroidered with real gold thread.Not to mention that, in the center of the lace, there are more than a dozen small mirrors the size of a fingernail.These small mirrors reflect brilliance as she moves.

Her body is in a luxurious Indian style.

Some of Li Sichuan's previous girlfriends liked to dress up, but none were so good at dressing up.These gold-trimmed clothes, one by one, must be expensive, and he wonders if he can afford it.

Li Sichuan returned to Beijing after spending the New Year in Shanghai.

Before the Spring Festival, there were a lot of things. He was busy with gatherings and dinners, coordinating relationships, entertaining guests and giving gifts, and spent a period of time in a mess.During the Spring Festival, he accompanied his parents back home to visit relatives.His father is from Xi'an, his grandmother is still alive, and lives in Xi'an with his youngest son. As the eldest grandson, it is really unreasonable for him not to go back.

In the last few days of the vacation, he thought it better to fly to Shanghai first, stay with Xiaoyu for two days, and return to Beijing the day before going to work.He picked a free afternoon to call Xiaoyu.

Xiao Yu picked it up very quickly this time, and after the greeting, she sighed and said, "I'm so exhausted, I eat with my relatives every day."

He laughed straight after hearing this, and quickly said, "I am the same. Every day there is a lot of fish and meat, and there is not a single green vegetable leaf on more than a dozen plates."

The two were laughing and chatting on the phone, Li Sichuan asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Xiaoyu paused for a few seconds, and then refused: "No need, I'm not in Shanghai either, so you came here for nothing."

Li Sichuan said, "Oh, you're back home too. Where is your hometown?"

He had been in love with Xiaoyu for so long, but he never asked her where she was from.Although they met in Shanghai, and Xiaoyu also has a house in Shanghai, they don't have any accent.

Xiao Yu paused and replied, "Jinjiang, Fujian."

Li Sichuan was not familiar with this place, so he asked a few words about the local scenery.Xiao Yu answered a few words casually, and then said: "Someone called me, I hung up. Let's get in touch after the Chinese New Year."

Li Sichuan could only agree: "Okay, I go to work on the seventh day, and I will return to Beijing on the fifth day. When will you leave?"

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "We haven't finished the Lantern Festival here, it's not considered the end of the New Year. Just wait for my call."

This wait, really wait until after the Lantern Festival.

On the day Li Sichuan got the news that he was going to pick up Xiaoyu, he made the calculations in the car - this time the meeting on New Year's Day was more than two months away.

Xiaoyu's flight was delayed due to the weather in Beijing, and it was already past one o'clock in the evening when she arrived.Fortunately, he brought his laptop and found a seat at the airport restaurant for dinner and errands.After writing two English emails, he browsed the webpage again, and when he was bored waiting, he suddenly remembered the vow he made before, saying that if any woman made him wait for half an hour, no matter what the reason, no matter how beautiful she was, he said Just break it.But this time, he waited at the airport for a full five hours, and he had already broken through the bottom line he set, and he didn't have the temper to say "breakup" to her.

Finally, Xiao Yu came out, dragging the boss's suitcase, most of the makeup on her face was taken off, when she saw him, she cried out that she was tired and wanted to go home to rest.He felt heartbroken when he saw it, cursed a few words about the air in Beijing, and picked up his suitcase to send her back.

This time I came to pick her up and asked a friend to borrow a car.She got into the car, saw him sitting in the driver's seat again, and didn't ask any more questions. She just held her head in her hands, closed her eyes, and seemed to be asleep.He started the car, and when he turned around, he still remembered joking with her, saying: "Aren't you good at sleeping on the plane? Why did you fail today?"

Xiao Yu gave a vague "hmm" and didn't answer.After a while, she opened the car window a little to let the night wind blow in.

"Beware of catching a cold," he said.Then he saw her wrap the ivory scarf around her neck again.

She still doesn't speak.The atmosphere in the car was a bit tense, he was still working hard, and asked with a smile: "What are you doing here this time? Could it be to meet me specifically? By the way, there will be an Indian sculpture exhibition at the National Expo in two days, do you want to go and see it?"

She looked up, opened her mouth, and closed it again.

He asked with concern: "Xiao Yu?"

"I'm a little tired, I sat too long on the plane." Her voice was a little hoarse, as if she was sick. "Can we not talk? You can take me home."

She owns property in Beijing, he knows that, but she doesn't tell, and it's not convenient for him to ask.

He thought it was always a boost to their relationship that she had allowed him to come into her house and into her door this time.

Arriving at the downstairs of her house according to the address she said, he parked the car, helped her carry the suitcase, opened the door of the apartment, and pressed the elevator floor.She didn't say "Okay, I'll send it here", so he happily pretended to be confused.When he thought of being able to enter her boudoir tonight, he felt a little blissful, and threw aside the anxiety he had just had.

In fact, after hearing her mention the address just now, Li Sichuan hardly believed that she lived there.The serviced apartments in Oriental Plaza are affordable only for those who are either rich or expensive.

Now he looked at her house and was silent.He is an architect, and he knows better than anyone else the price of such a house and such a location in Beijing.He graduated with a master's degree and returned home for five years. He worked in a medium-sized foreign-funded construction firm and lived in Beijing with an American salary.

When Xiao Yu arrived home, she changed into green embroidered slippers, left him who was taking care of her suitcase, and went straight to the bathroom, taking off her clothes while walking.He couldn't see it, so he followed her and took it one by one and put it on his arm.She didn't care, she took off only a milky white silk long petticoat, said "I'll sleep after taking a shower, close the door when you go out", and then went into the bathroom in front of him.

Seeing her attitude, Li Sichuan felt a little suffocated and a little confused.But thinking that she was really tired out of shape, it was hard to say anything.He hung up the clothes for her, put the suitcase in the bedroom, and then stood at the door of her bathroom, hesitating for a while, wanting to stay or leave.

Li Sichuan thought and thought, and finally came up with a high-sounding excuse, planning to tell her: "It's too late, don't disturb your rest, I'll come back tomorrow morning." As for making the atmosphere stiff.So he raised his hand and knocked on the bathroom door, wanting to talk to her.There was no sound after knocking twice. He thought she was washing her hair and couldn't hear it.But after listening to the sound, there was no sound of water flowing, so he knocked on the door again.This time he stepped up a bit.

Still no answer.

Li Sichuan faintly felt that something was wrong, he turned the doorknob, it was unlocked, and it opened with just one turn.He pushed open the door, expecting to see a picture of a fragrant beauty coming out of the bath, or pink cheeks and bare arms that were soaked in hot water.Unexpectedly, when the door was pushed open, there was neither hot water steam nor hibiscus coming out of the water. Only Xiao Yu was sitting on the makeup stool, with her upper body bent in front of the dressing table.

He was shocked, rushed to help her up, and called her name.She murmured twice, but didn't wake up.He thought she had passed out, rolling his eyelids and taking his pulse.Just based on his shallow medical knowledge, he couldn't tell what kind of disease she had.Her breathing was normal, her complexion was rosy, her pulse was steady, and she seemed to be asleep.

Li Sichuan thought, maybe she was really tired and fell asleep, so she didn't have the energy to talk.After all, she sat in the small space on the plane for four or five hours. The flight time plus the waiting time for take-off, even in the business class, she still had a backache.And all of this was just to see him.

When he thought about it, he suddenly felt heartbroken.

He held her across his arms, put her on the bed in the bedroom, and pulled the quilt over to cover her.

But in this way, he would have to leave or stay.In the front, he wanted to stay, and wanted to leave in order to fight for one breath, but he wanted to show her.Now even if he wanted to stay, he felt inconvenient.A gentleman does not bully a dark room, and it is obviously not what a gentleman does if he insists on staying like this.

He spent half a year maintaining his image of a gentleman, and at this moment he ran into a problem.It's really unreasonable to leave her alone, sick and tired.After all, she is also his girlfriend, he should take care of her when she is sick.Just staying, the two of them really haven't reached this point...

After much deliberation, he looked at her sleeping soundly, and suddenly burst out laughing.

What a great opportunity, how could he be so pedantic and almost miss it.That is to say, he cared too much about her, so he was so worried about gains and losses.

He took off his clothes slowly, went to the bathroom to take a shower, dried his hair, came out naked, uncovered her quilt, and lay beside her.

He just wanted to sleep with her, that's all.He wanted to bring the two of them closer.Falling in love in two cities left him in a state of suspense, without real feeling.Although he had planned to change jobs early on, it was not so easy to find a suitable place.

What did he think they should do in their current situation?After thinking about it for a while, he fell asleep without even hugging the beauty beside him.

When he woke up, the people around him disappeared.The room was dark, and he couldn't remember where the light switch was for a moment, and he had no clothes on him, so he had to call her.
