The moon is white and the wind is clear.
The hospital room was silent for a split second, echoing with faint gasps.
For a moment, Nanchu thought that she had misheard him and looked up to see if there was a hint of a joke in his eyes, but Lin Luchu's eyes were, as always, like a pool of clear water, unperturbed.
No rushing, no jokes, just as normal as just asking if you've eaten.
The person who asked was glib, but it was too much of a shock for the person who listened, and things shifted so quickly that Nanchu paused.
Lin Lu Snap captured her hesitant expression, his peach blossom eyes slightly hooked and his eyebrows raised, "Don't dare?"
Nanchu smiled down, her gaze like a mirror.
There was nothing she wouldn't dare do for him.
"Dare." She tilted her head and said crisply.
Hanging a heart finally fell to the ground, Lin Lu Snapu intuition back a burst of heartache, probably just got out of bed to pull her, pulled the wound.
Spirit just relaxed attack, a dizziness attacked, the person somewhat unable to hold on, planted on Nanchu.
The weight was all over her body before she realized something was wrong.
The side of his neck was covered in his beaded sweat and rapid breathing, Nanchu reached out to touch his forehead, "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Lu Snapdragon hid his pain, "It's pulling on the wound."
Nanchu went to rattle his head and exclaimed, "What then?!"
Shen Mu and Da Liu just happened to walk to the door, heard this sound, scared directly kicked open the door and rushed in.
"Thunk-" The door was kicked in.
Followed closely by two, "Luk Snap--!!!"
The two people in the room looked over at the sound of the voice, Lin Luchu's brows furrowed even more, but he still hung on to Nanchu, flatly comforting the woman in his arms, "It's fine."
Shen Mu and Da Liu exchanged glances.
Shit, what's this shit?
The nurse came over to change the medicine, Nanchu finished the toilet came out, saw the nurse lady a face of spring and bright, to strip the upper half of the Lin Lu Snapdragon smiled daintily, "you this old injury plus the new injury, the good is not so fast, have to be a while, even if it is good, usually have to pay attention to a little bit, and then there is a next time, can not be such a matter of fact, Dr. Zhang has said that, do not get well not allowed to let you out of the hospital. "
Lin Lu Snap was lying on the bed with his bare back, and when he saw her come out, his gaze was firmly fixed on her.
Nanchu glared at him.
The eyes of the two men were tangled in the air with reckless abandon.
Behind the nurse is oblivious to what kind of atmosphere they are in, still focusing on their own to give him medicine, self-centered, said: "Last time you fire brigade to our surprise inspection, Dr. Zhang also read with us you to come, you are really, work so life-threatening, usually vacation on the rest of it, and people show off what can be done on the street to catch what the rioters went. "
Lin Luzhu didn't pay attention to her at all, or rather didn't even listen to what was coming out of her mouth.
The nurse, bored, changed the medicine and pushed the cart away.
Lin Lu Snapdragon puts his clothes back on, sits up, raises his chin at Nan Chuxu, and points to the stool in front of the bed, "Come and sit."
Shen Mu and Da Liu went somewhere.
Nanchu obediently went over and sat down.
Just as my butt hit the bench, my cell phone rang frantically, and when I looked down, it was a long list of unfamiliar numbers.
Nanchu guessed that it was mostly Zou Miao, because he had blacked out his number a while ago, and he had called several times with a different number.
Just snap it off.
Lin Lu Snap stared at her and raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you answer?"
Nanchu: "It doesn't matter."
The phone rings again, Nanchu hangs up again, and so on for three times, Lin Lu Snapdragon seems to realize something, and says without moving, "Answer it. Maybe the person has something to find you."
Nanchu firmly did not pick up, turned off her cell phone and directly threw it to the side on the sofa.
Lin Lu Snap's eyes followed the rounded parabola and the cell phone settled before he licked the corners of his mouth and smiled down.
"Really marry me?"
Nanchu nodded.
He was happy, the bit of gangsterism in his brow came out again, "OK, I'll make up for your ring later."
Nanchu looked at him worriedly, "Anything."
Lin Lu Snapdragon laughed, "What? Worried that I can't afford it?"
Nanchu shook her head, "Just stay with you."
Lin Lu Snapdragon's hand hanging at his side gradually clenched, his heart seemed to be scratched by something, he turned his head sideways and turned back in a second, his expression had calmed down, looking at the girl in front of him, he said, "I have to go back to Deer Mountain next week, before I go back, get the license first."
"Uh-huh." Nanchu nodded.
After that, you have to go about your business again. Claim it, claim your peace of mind.
"I just have two cars, with an apartment, and not much savings, but enough to marry you, go back and match the keys to you, as for the banquet ......"
Nanchu busily said, "Don't set up the banquet first, I still have some things to take care of on my side, when I'm done with things on my side, we'll discuss the matter of the banquet again, or wait for you to come back from Deer Mountain and we'll talk about the banquet again."
"Your mom's side?"
"Let's get the license first, and we'll figure out what happens after that."
"Well, you'll have to hide it while I'm gone before you have no one to protect you."
"I'll visit you when I get a chance." Nanchu said.
Lin Lu Snapdragon smiled, "Okay."
......
Getting a license isn't something you can do just yet.
The last approved marriage report because of the back of the matter, directly by Meng Guohong buckle down, the process to his place on the card, has not been raised. Lin Lu Snapdragon the next day directly from the hospital slipped out, back to a trip to the old Hutong, Lin Qingyuan has now retired from the second line, the whole day with old friends to play chess and drink wine inscription days are also free.
Just as he reached the door, his old friend saw a tall figure approaching and shouted, "Your son is back!"
Lin Qingyuan looked down and smiled.
Under the sunlight, in the end is older, Lin Qingyuan's eyebrows and temples are white, so far from looking, but like a kind old man, see Lin Lu Snapdragon's heart is sour, he staggered in the doorway, sidelong head.
It's a sign that he's sad.
"Bastard! What are you standing there for!" Lin Qingyuan was full of vigor.
He was happy again all of a sudden and walked over, "Dad."
Lin Qingyuan grunted, like a naughty old child, "You know you're going home?"
No one told him about Lin Luchu's injury, and Auntie Meng purposely kept it a secret for fear that the old man would be worried.
The old friend looked at Lin Luchu's expression of desire to speak and immediately stood up with a sense of humor, "Come on, it looks like this kid has something to say to you. Old Lin, I'll come back to play chess with you this afternoon."
After saying that, he patted Lin Luchu's shoulder.
The latter said rather respectfully, "Uncle Liu, take your time."
Lin Qingyuan slowly stood up and walked towards the house with his hands behind his back, "What matter do you want to talk about?"
Lin Lu Snap is always direct, "I'm filing a marriage report."
Lin Qingyuan straightened down and looked back at him, backlit, he looked as usual and grunted, "This is to inform me?"
"I've been rubbing up against her for too long, and I'm going to have to do this one if you don't agree."
Lin Lu Snapdragon thought about whether to say that Nanchu was pregnant, after all, thirty, the old man's own heart is also anxious, but always still not willing to lie about this matter.
Lin Qingyuan suddenly kicked him in the calf, without force, "Bunny, did I say I don't agree?"
Overjoyed.
Lin Qingyuan sat down in front of the desk, "Secretary Zhang told me a long time ago, you dead kid, you don't tell me in advance even if you make a report, I've already asked Secretary Zhang to mention it for you, it can be approved next week, before you return to Deer Mountain."
When Secretary Zhang called Lin Qingyuan, Lin Qingyuan didn't ask anything but asked, "Still that girl?"
With a yes on the other end of the phone, Lin Qingyuan suddenly laughed, "Alright, hurry up and approve it, and by the way, hurry up Old Liu a few times, that kid probably wants to get his license before he goes back to Deer Mountain."
Knowing the son is like knowing the father.
As he left, Lin Qingyuan laughed and said, "By the way, Lin Qi is also coming out soon, bring her back before you leave and we'll have dinner together, I've seen her once since I was a child, and I've only seen her on TV when I was growing up."
Lin Lu Snap's cheeks puffed out and he nodded in silence, "Good."
"Become a family can not be with the previous so muddy, marriage should buy things do not give people less, not enough money, I have this side and, cobble together can help you to buy a house loan."
"Enough, saved some before."
He is usually in the team, food and clothing without additional expenses, wages are sent directly to the card, did not move much, so a few years down the line, but also saved a lot, marrying a daughter-in-law this is enough.
Lin Qingyuan nodded as if he had nothing more to explain, "Alright."
......
The night before the return.
Lin Luchuan just happened to be discharged from the hospital, and went back to the old hutong, leaning at the entrance of the alley with his pockets in black clothes, waiting for someone.
Under the streetlight, shadows drifted in and out, a girl ran ahead, and Lin Mei reached him, stood still, and handed him a bag of tan-colored document files, panting, "Here, brother, steaming hot, fresh out of the oven."
Lin Lu Snapdragon took it, pinned it in the crook of his arm, and smiled, "Thanks."
Lin Mei was surprised, "Ho, it's pretty rare to hear a thank you from you, when will you let me meet my little sister-in-law?!"
"There's a chance." He laughs.
Lin Mei: "I ran my legs off for this report of yours, okay! How can you thank me?"
"At best, the next time your father beats you, my brother will help you hold him back." He hung back.
Lin Mei cut in, "Why don't you realize you helped me take a beating?"
"Take a beating and forget it, my wife will be pissed, let's go."
When he finished, he threw the dossier bag inside, leaving a trailer full of exhaust.
Lin Mei stayed in place to think, more than ten years ago, they are still children, in this alleyway laughing and playing, carefree, happy to let loose screaming, unhappy to cry, that are still helping children, although not famous, but full of enthusiasm.
In the blink of an eye, they were all almost thirty, with their own lives, and even Lin Luchu was getting married.
Youth never returns, and now you and I go our separate ways.
When he got home, Lin Luchu dropped his dossier bag and keys and pulled his cell phone out of his pocket to call Nanchu, "Do you have time tomorrow?"
On the other end of the phone, Nanchu was sitting cross-legged on the floor, fidgeting with the account book and a set of keys, and dully replied, "I have time in the morning."
Lin Lu Snapdragon headed to the sofa and rubbed the bridge of his nose, the person was tired, "Well, I came to pick you up."
Nanchu's heart was beating like a drum, "Going to the civil office?"
The person on the other end seemed tired and very faintly let out a monotone through his nose, "Uh-huh."
Nanchu's mind was sensitive and sensed, "What's wrong with you? Very tired?"
Lin Luzhu ignored her, "After you get married, which side are you going to live on?"
There was something Nanchu had wanted to mention.
But afraid to say he has will not be happy, silent for a while, the other side urged: "Nanchu?"
"Captain, let me tell you something first."
"Uh-huh."
"The rent on my side is about to expire, anyway, I'm getting married tomorrow, so I'm going to buy a house by the river, so we'll live there from now on, okay? The scenery is quite nice."
Lin Lu Snapdragon that house is a single apartment, two people living is really a little small, plus before the paparazzi squatting point, Nanchu things and more, it is estimated that all at once can not move in "How much?"
Nanchu said a number.
Lin Lu Snapdragon wrinkled his eyebrows, in fact, really not expensive, he calculated that the sale of this set, plus the money in the card and the old man borrowed a little bit, the rest of the later slowly to give her, the house of the money can not let the girl out.
"I'll give you all the payroll cards tomorrow."
All of it is yours.
"No, anyway, it's the two of us living, your money to keep to raise the child, buy this house, I do not have a lot of money on hand, there are still some in the investment and shares, the rest of the day, have to rely on you to support me." The little girl's voice is clear and soft.
"Good."
In fact, it didn't take much thought to realize that she was doing her best to match the little bit of machismo in his bones.
Both of them were silent, and the phone didn't disconnect, so they sat in silence until Lin Luchu glanced at the wall clock on the wall and said, "Go to sleep, it's late."
"Good night, Captain, see you tomorrow."
Every sound is filled with anticipation for tomorrow.
"Good night, see you tomorrow."
Then a sleepless night.
Lin Lu Snapdragon tossed and turned, got up in the latter half of the night and sat on the balcony and smoked a pack of cigarettes, staring at the starry spots in the sky, the person became more and more awake. Thinking back to the past thirty years, in his mind like a movie over again.
She's seven, she's sixteen, she's twenty-one ......
Over and over again, one photo after another, all coming back to him, joyful, smiling, angry, all her best looks.
Until the sky turned fish-belly white, as if a clear opening had opened up and light was spilling down.
Lin Luchu sat on the balcony for the rest of the night, then went in, washed and changed his clothes, picked up the file bag and went downstairs to the car.
Nanchu finished organizing and went downstairs.
Seeing a black figure leaning against the car downstairs, she hooked her mouth and quickly ran over.
The two men looked at each other and both were happy.
With two panda eyes, Nanchu was sullenly happy, Lin Luchu shallowly hooked the corner of his mouth, "What are you happy about?"
"You didn't sleep either?"
Getting into the car, he leaned over and buckled her in, "It's okay."
To the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two came early, there are not many people inside, Nanchu and Lin Luchu directly be taken to the second floor, the staff to bring them into a room.
That should have been greeted by Lin Qingyuan in advance.
The registrar took the file sweep Lin Lu primrose, Nanchu heart thud thud thud straight jump, afraid that the man came out of a sentence can not, can not get married, think and feel stupid, people still care about you with whom to get married, and so on that the steel seal went down, the two manpower to lead a red book, that the heart only settled down.
Nanchu looked left and right as if she was holding a treasure for a long time, "Captain, go back and we'll have to frame it, it's so sacred."
Lin Luzhu glanced down.
I didn't think there was anything sacred about it, so I turned the inside page and saw the two of them with their heads next to each other, and suddenly I felt a sense of belonging.
It seems like a hundred turns and finally the dust has settled.
