Chapter 37

After saying goodbye to Luo Ting and Gu Wenli's family, Lin Hui and He Jianshan went back. During dinner, He Jianshan drank some wine, and then he drove by Lin Hui. When the car passed Mingyue Lake Square, He Jianshan suddenly said, "Let's go over there."

"Now?" Lin Hui asked, but with a steering wheel in his hand, the car turned a corner and drove towards the parking lot in the square.

Mingyue Lake got its name because it resembles a full moon. With the lake as the center, a circle of high-end and atmospheric shopping malls and office buildings are built around it. The night lights in Mingyuehu Square are all embedded in the ground. At first glance, it is indeed as Lin Hui said, star-studded. The two were walking in the square. He Jianshan naturally wanted to hold Lin Hui's hand, but Lin Hui was so frightened that he quickly shrank back: "There are too many people."

"No one else knows us."

"No, I knew it when I was photographed."

He Jianshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not a star, so I'll make it public when I get it."

Lin Hui said bitterly: "No, think about the company, think about the shareholders, think about the busyness at the end of the year, the colleagues in the public relations department will go crazy."

He Jianshan sighed deeply: "Assistant Lin, what should I do? I'm just an ordinary person. I get sick, I get lazy, I lose my temper, and I want to walk hand in hand with the person I like in a night like this."

Lin Hui felt extremely guilty when he said this. He looked back and forth, left and right for a while, and finally waited for the opportunity when there were few people around, and saw him put on the hat on his clothes, then gently pulled He Jianshan, and his lips quickly touched his face.

Score at the touch of a button.

This fleeting kiss made He Jianshan sincerely think that Lin Hui was really cute and crazy.

In winter, the wind by the lake is a bit strong. People who walk and play either wear scarves and gloves, or put their hands in their pockets and refuse to take them out. Only He Jianshan and Lin Hui, the two of them shook their arms casually and walked, their hands would touch each other from time to time, and occasionally their fingers would twitch quietly, and then they quickly separated, waiting for the next encounter.

They hid in the endless crowd, secretly talking about a love that only the wind knew.

"Tell me about your college days." He Jianshan opened his mouth.

"University? My university is quite ordinary, with three points and one line, classrooms, dormitories, and libraries. Life is relatively simple."

"Anything fun?"

Lin Hui thought about it for a while: "There's actually a lot of fun, but now you tell me, I really can't remember it for a while, after all, it's been so many years since I graduated. Ah, there is one, there is a chicken soup in the second cafeteria of our school. The meal is very delicious."

He Jianshan: "...It's just soup and rice."

Lin Hui laughed: "Really, the second canteen is far from our dormitory, but we must eat in our dormitory in winter. Think about it, I ran to the canteen in the cold wind and ordered a chicken soup base. For Lao rice, I have to add an egg in it, and serve it to you with geothermal heat, alas, it’s delicious in this world, and I haven’t eaten it since graduating from college.”

"However, the best-selling item in the second cafeteria is peanut milk. I don't usually drink this kind of thing, but I think it's delicious. At that time, the boss of our dormitory was in love, and we queued up every day to buy this for his girlfriend, and then we all followed suit in our dormitory. Dip, hahaha."

As if being provoked by He Jianshan, Lin Hui began to talk about things in college one by one:

"You know that I study gardening. Our major is in the old campus, and next to the experimental field is the university's faculty and staff community, and then the cucumbers and tomatoes that we cultivated are often brought to the gate of the community to sell. They are very cheap, and uncles and aunts like it very much. , praised us for our delicious crops, but in fact most of them were taken directly to the cafeteria."

"Oh, and Brother Lei, there is another one in our dormitory. His girlfriend is in the management department. When Brother Lei was chasing others, he would give people tomatoes every day, which is really fat and water. After breaking up, his girlfriend still misses us. What about the tomatoes, I'm dying of laughter."

He Jianshan asked curiously, "Your dormitory is already in love, you haven't?"

"There are so many handsome guys in our school, how can you like me."

He Jianshan didn't believe it: "Luo Ting said that a lot of people in your university are chasing you, so you should have met someone you like."

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I have never been in a relationship in college."

"Oh?"

Lin Huisuo felt that something was wrong: "He Jianshan, you're taking my word for it."

He Jianshan let out a dull laugh: "No. You can't hold hands, and you can't get to know you?"

Lin Hui was really convinced: "You still talk about me, think about yourself, let me count, how many private dinners with women I have arranged for you, 1, 2, 3..."

Lin Hui pretended to break his fingers and started to count, He Jianshan quickly confessed: "It's all work, no romance."

Lin Fuhuan stopped, stopped for a while, and said softly, "He Jianshan, you can't just work."

"And you."

"No, there are many things in the world other than me and work, like the fireworks we watched that day."

He Jianshan was silent.

Looking at the gradually sparse crowd in front of him, he said, "Luo Ting said, when you talk about me, you think I'm very tired, and you always want to help me share a little more."

Lin Hui did not speak.

"If I say, I never seem to get tired, would you believe it?"

Physical fatigue can be solved by taking a nap, or having a drink with friends and chatting, but mentally, it keeps running at high speed all year round, even if the machine is worn out, but He Jianshan said that he does not feel tired.

Lin Hui lowered his eyes: "No one is not tired."

He Jianshan raised his head and looked at the night sky, "Actually, I used to think that the whole meaning of my life was work. Through it, I obtained self-satisfaction and realized the value of life. But now, my thinking has changed a bit."

Lin Hui was a little curious: "What has it become?"

"I started to want to learn from you."

"Learn from me?" The unexpected answer made Lin Hui look surprised.

"Yes, you will discover this interesting world by studying." He Jianshan glanced at Lin Hui with a smile, "When I was in Ninghai, I remembered that you had photographed a blue manhole cover during an inspection visit, and you said that you had never seen a blue manhole cover. I'm so horny, I think it's very interesting. I just thought, what is interesting in the end, I'm really curious. I really want to know if the world in your eyes has always been so interesting, and what does the boring me look like in your eyes?"

Lin Hui was stunned.

The media once described He Jianshan as "the well-deserved king of the business empire", which is very exaggerated and middle-of-the-road, and sounds too powerful. But Lin Hui felt that He Jianshan was not a king, but a cog, a cog that was turning all the time in the high-rise building of Wanzhu. All the people in the building can leave and stop, only he can't.

Such a He Jianshan said that he was boring.

Lin recalled that no, you are so powerful and excellent, and so many beautiful qualities in the world are concentrated in you, you should not just use the word "boring" to describe yourself in a stereotyped manner. But he suddenly reacted, was He Jianshan also confused, what he saw in his eyes was the superposition of those well-known perfect qualities, or was there something different? Or, he also wanted to know what Lin Hui's love would be like?

He never thought that even He Jianshan needed the most straightforward confirmation from his lover. He clearly knew better than everyone that when He Jianshan really wanted to get the answer in the question mark, he would try all the possibilities.

And the only correct solution is in his own hands.

Love breaks ground in the heart, and then sprouts, shoots, and blooms. And he, like an unaware craftsman, was addicted to water, air and sunlight, but he forgot that the roses had already bloomed.

Lin Hui stopped.

He Jianshan looked back at him: "What's wrong?"

Lin Hui shook his head. He watched He Jianshan earnestly for a while, then put his hand into his pocket.

He Jianshan smiled: "Is it cold? Let's go back."

"I was actually sad that you didn't come at the cinema that day." Lin Hui said suddenly.

The wind blew Lin Hui's hat a little, which made his voice fly into the night sky, sounding light and fluttering. He Jianshan carefully put the hat back on him: "Yes, I know, I have always regretted it."

He paused and let out a sigh of relief: "I always feel that some things should be said in person, so I didn't make it so clear in WeChat at the time - I want to surprise you, I, I have been thinking about it for a long time, What did you say in the movie theater?"

Lin Hui had never heard He Jianshan speak in such a tone: full of disappointment and annoyance. He thought that He Jianshan, like him, was also full of fantasies and expectations for that movie. Even though they made up the movie later and had more happy memories, all the moods were different.

The two of them, got the most important things in life, but also missed some things forever. It turns out that regret is also a companion product of love.

But the essence of love is never a companion product, but love.

"It's the same thing now."

He Jianshan paused for a while, and showed a rare smile that could be said to be very embarrassed: "I planned to hold your hand first, if you didn't refuse, we would keep holding hands and watch the movie; If you reject me, I'll let go first, and then wait until..."

He Jianshan talked a lot. He is like an employee who has carefully designed the project plan after the most rigorous research and is conscientiously reporting to the leader. In this plan, Lin Hui is the core, the only one, the guide of all the warmth, and the end of the infinite love.

He Jianshan loves him.

Lin recalled: He Jianshan loved me.

He took a deep breath: "He Jianshan—"

He Jianshan stopped and looked at Lin Hui in waiting.

"I like you."

He Jianshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I know."

He had indeed misunderstood that Lin Hui had a good impression of Feng Ying, but since he had close contact with Lin Hui, he knew that it was impossible, Lin Hui could not like such a person. He and Lin Hui were supposed to have a closer relationship than ordinary subordinates, and this intimacy was a good feeling. He originally thought that he would slowly turn Lin Hui's favor into liking, and then upgrade his liking to love.

But that night when it rained heavily, he saw himself in Lin Hui's eyes. In his tears, he was like a ship, swaying, and finally stopped in the harbor in his eyes.

Heart-to-heart connection does not need so much evidence, sometimes a tear is enough.

Lin Hui said it again: "He Jianshan, I love you."

He Jianshan's heart surged with enthusiasm, and he couldn't help lowering his head to peck Lin Hui's lips lightly: "Well, I know."

Lin Hui spoke for the third time: "He... see the mountains...

His voice was a little choked, and He Jianshan was stunned. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and kept stroking Lin Hui's face, his fingers passing his eyes, as if he wanted to confirm something. The bright white light fell from the gap between the tree shadows to the corners of Lin Hui's eyes, and he was suddenly not sure if it was the light, or something else——

"I...love you...for a long...for a long time."

Lin recalled that in the matter of "love", he would never lose.

The author has something to say:

Love is so delicate, even if it has been in love for so long, it is so difficult to express. However, it still has to be said.
