Chapter 2106: Slightly Drunk (IV)
When I left the sanatorium, the sun was setting just right outside, and the soft golden light filled the ground, and the whole world was filled with warmth.
According to the lunar calendar, the weather is also in October, with crisp autumn air. In such a quiet town, the weather is more distinct than in the city. Although in this southerly area, the four seasons are not distinct, but in this quiet town, the weather is not clear. I can feel a little bit of autumn here.
The car was driving on a quiet country road, with open fields on both sides. The rice in the fields had been harvested for this season, and now what was left was the large withered yellow straw roots. The car windows were not closed, and the rice was poured from outside. The cool breeze that came in was a bit bleak and desolate like the evening breeze.
"Your mother looks much better than when she came here last time."
Lan Xiu's voice broke the silence in the car.
"Her condition has stabilized a bit, probably because she knows about my dad's situation. She hates my dad very much. You know this. And she is also a very vindictive person. She sees that they are not living well. Okay, she..."
Leng Xinran said, with a sneer on his face, and there was no need to say anything else.
Lan Xiu could also understand what she said next.
"Do you also think I'm vicious? To Ye Xiaolian and the others?"
Leng Xinran suddenly asked.
"Everything has a cause and effect. You just did what you were supposed to do. No matter whether you are kind or vicious, we are not born to be saints who can save all sentient beings."
Lan Xiu is very open-minded.
"It's hard to say for sure. When a marriage or relationship breaks down, how many men always like to say, have you changed? Have you become vicious and scheming?"
When Leng Xinran said this, a hint of disdain rose at the corner of his mouth.
Lan Xiu was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "That's true, either because he is tired or looking for excuses. But why does it change? In essence, it is often because of men."
"So, if I tell you that I am not a good woman, I am not good-hearted, I am not as simple and kind as others, I am even ruthless, or I may be unscrupulous in the future, will you still treat me so calmly?"
Leng Xinran said, her eyes quietly catching Lan Xiu's black eyes.
Lan Xiu glanced at her sideways, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Leave it to me to do anything unscrupulous. You have to believe that I can protect you."
After saying this, Leng Xinran also paused and turned to look at him. After a moment, he smiled lightly and said, "Thank you. Although it is good to be protected, it is still better to deal with it on your own. In the end, we are still It’s pretty good.”
"Aren't women inherently weaker and should enjoy protection?"
Lan Xiu smiled and said.
Leng Xinran shook his head, "How can anyone deserve to be protected when they are born? If I didn't think so, I wouldn't have so much resentment in my heart. I always feel that God sent you here alone so that you could go on your own. Create value and then enjoy value.”
"Are you good at philosophy?"
Lan Xiu listened and asked her with a smile.
Leng Xinran paused, then reacted quickly, pursed her lips and smiled, "Fortunately, I always get excellent marks in every exam."
"I can see it."
Lan Xiu responded.
With her, although she was not someone who liked to talk, every time they talked, they would feel very natural and friendly. He had to admit that he liked staying with her, at least, her A lot of talking will make him feel that he has benefited a lot and enjoys it very much.
"It's Sunday tomorrow. You don't have to go to work. Let's go back and get some good food later, and let's have a few drinks too."
Leng Xinran suggested.
"You are in a good mood today, and you are still in such good spirits."
Lan Xiu smiled and did not refuse. Seeing the light joy on her face, his mood eased inexplicably.
"It's rare for my mother to have such a happy birthday as today. Last year, she and I parted ways on bad terms. It's obvious that she likes you very much. She's having a great time today. This is all your fault. In fact, , I can’t even remember the last time I saw her smile.”
Leng Xinran let out a long sigh.
"She just asked me what our plans were for getting married."
Lan Xiu thought for a while and then said this.
"marry?"
Leng Xinran muttered in a low voice and turned to look at him, "Then how do you answer?"
"I said we are very busy at the end of the year, and the wedding is a major event that needs to be discussed between the two of us. It mainly depends on you."
Lan Xiu expressed his feelings and looked at her with a deep look.
Leng Xinran remained silent, and did not answer at all. Instead, she turned to look out the car window.
Lan Xiu looked at it and could only smile. He didn't know why he suddenly felt a touch of loneliness.
It’s been almost a year!
between them...
"Let's wait until a year later. If you insist, we will talk about this issue."
After a long time, Leng Xinran suddenly spoke.
Lan Xiu listened and nodded immediately, "Okay, it's up to you."
…
When we returned to the villa area, it was already late at night, and the servants had prepared dinner for them. After serving it to them, they also left.
Leng Xinran was in a good mood tonight. He drank a few drinks in a row, and his face turned a little crimson. While pouring him some wine, he said, "I brought this back from my trip to the Southwest a few years ago." The medicinal wine has been soaked for several years and has enough flavor. Drinking a little is good for the body, but the wine is a bit stronger. If you are used to drinking red wine and foreign wine, you may not be used to it. "
What they drink now is medicinal wine soaked in some medicinal materials and animals. Leng Xinran has a problem with body cold, and he often drinks a little of this medicinal wine. Just like now, if he drinks it, his whole body will feel much warmer. Now it is autumn again. In this season, the weather is a bit cool, so it’s just right to drink a little.
"You drink slowly, even if it's medicinal wine, drinking too much is not good."
When Lan Xiu saw her drinking another drink, he was a little worried and stopped her.
"It's rare to be in a good mood, so don't let me spoil it. Even if you're drunk, this is home. You don't have to go to work tomorrow, so just take a sleeping pill and have a peaceful sleep."
Leng Xinran felt a little tired. It was a rare opportunity like this, so he wanted to relax.
Seeing this, Lan Xiu felt a little helpless and quickly served her some rice, "Then you have some rice to fill your stomach."
Leng Xinran did not refuse, brought it over, then lowered his head and ate silently.
…
The two of them were also chatting while eating. When they got to the back, Leng Xinran didn't know how much he had drunk. He just felt that his consciousness was beginning to blur. Looking at Lan Xiu opposite, he also felt like a phantom. Was he right? focal length……
