Chapter 11
In June of this year, it rained a lot, and the city was shrouded in light mist and rain, very quiet.
One month after Tang Song left, Lin Chen bought a golden retriever in a pet store, and took it out for a walk every evening, and occasionally met the couple downstairs [Dawn], and walked together, talking and laughing, Not too sad.
He and Gu Nan gradually became acquainted, and often went to the dessert shop to chat with him. The huskies in the shop liked golden retrievers very much, and the two dogs were very noisy when they got together. Gu Nan would always sit behind the counter and watch them make trouble, and then asked: " Hey, what do you think of us Yoha?"
Lin Chen didn't react.
Qin Mian, the real owner of the husky, laughed at the side: "Gu Nannan, you are really wrong."
Just another laugh.
After laughing, Gu Nan touched his nose and asked again: "By the way, I still don't know what your golden retriever's name is?"
Lin Chen shook his head with a gentle smile: "It...has no name yet, because I'm waiting for someone, the name of the golden retriever. I want to get it with him when he comes back."
Afterwards, this topic did not continue, but before leaving, Gu Nan gave him a box of small biscuits.He took it home and ate it while watching TV with the golden retriever. At the end of the meal, he saw a line written on the bottom of the box, which was exactly the same as the original business card.
You will have the best tomorrow.
Lin Chen just smiled, put the box away, with a gentle expression.
In fact, sometimes, the days of waiting are not sad.
From day to night, the weather gradually cooled down.
In August of this year, Lin Chen took a long vacation and returned home with his golden retriever.Lin's father and Lin's mother were very pleasantly surprised, holding his hand for a long time to ask him how warm he was, and as they talked, they talked about getting married.
Lin Chen just smiled, looking very quiet.
As Mother Lin spoke, her voice gradually became softer: "Lin Lin, do you have someone you like?"
Lin Chen froze for a moment, then nodded.
Mother Lin's expression began to be a little cautious: "What kind of person is the person you like?"
What kind of person?
Lin Chen smiled slightly: "He is...a very gentle person, he smiles very warmly, his eyes are beautiful and always have a very faint light, he..."
He would smile and say good morning to me every day, and would cook delicious food for me. He has a good temper, occasionally a bit domineering and teasing, but he is a very kind and gentle person in his heart.
Sometimes he is a little narrow-minded, very jealous, likes to buy a lot of the same things, and quietly throws away my old things, and is afraid that I will get angry, so he hides and looks at me, and when he sees that I am not angry, he will smile very gently.
He doesn't actually like sweets, but I do, so he makes them often.He also specially bought recipes for sweets, and exchanged experiences with a group of mothers on food forums every day. He thought I didn't know anything, but I knew everything, really.
I sometimes work overtime, no matter how late it is, he will wait for me and leave a light for me.Walked downstairs, far away, I could see that little light, after going upstairs, as long as I walked to the door, the door would be opened, he stood at the door, smiling very nicely, said to me, welcome home .
He said very seriously that he wanted to grow old with me, plant flowers on the balcony with me, raise a dog, go to many places, take many photos, look at those photos when he gets old, think about it, this life , how good.
he……
At the end of the sentence, Lin Chen lowered his head.
"I really, really special, like him."
It was quiet all around.
He raised his head and saw Lin's father and Lin's mother's face full of bewilderment and surprise.
Lin Chen's eyes moved, and he suddenly felt a little hot. He raised his hand to touch his cheek, and the tentacles were moist.
He cried.
But Lin Chen didn't feel bitter, nor did he feel sad.
He smiled, stretched out his hand to wipe his face carelessly, looked at Lin's father and Lin's mother: "Dad, Mom, look, it's very good, isn't it?"
The eyelashes were still stained with water, and when he laughed, he felt inexplicably miserable in the eyes of others.
Lin's father didn't speak, but Lin's mother's eyes turned red first: "Yes, it's very good."
Lin Chen's eyes curved slightly, and the water in the pupils reflected the light spots, and in that instant, it was extremely warm.
Mother Lin stared at him blankly for a long time, then suddenly realized that it seemed like it had been a long, long time since she had seen such a warm expression on her child's face.
It was even more sad for a moment.
Mother Lin raised her head, looking at the well-behaved and quiet child in front of others, she suddenly wanted to cry.
No one knew her child well, so no one knew better than her that Lin Chen hadn't been happy all these years.
And even now, Lin Chenming is clearly not having a good time, but he still looks at her with a soft expression and says, "I'm doing well, you don't have to worry."
At this time, even Father Lin who was standing next to him had bitter eyes and a sore heart, so he couldn't say anything.
They were silent for a long time that night. At the end, Mother Lin forcibly suppressed the redness in the corners of her eyes, looked at Lin Chen's quiet face, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Lin Lin, the person you like is from Xu Jiang's wedding ceremony." Someone who came with you?"
Lin Chen was stunned for a while, then nodded his head in silence, and replied in a low voice, "Yes."
A longer silence followed.
Lin Chen lowered his head, feeling very chaotic in his heart, but also a kind of calm after putting everything into his mouth. When he said it, he had mixed feelings.He didn't dare to look up to see his parents' expressions, his fingers were tightly clenched, and his eyes were downcast.
He didn't know how long it had been like this, until he felt that his eyes were a little dry, and then he heard Father Lin in front of him speak in a very deep voice.
"If you have time, take him home and show me and your mother..."
Lin Chen raised his head in a daze, his nose suddenly felt a little sore.
Father Lin's always serious face had a rare softness, and he stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder: "Live a good life."
Beside him, the redness in Mother Lin's eyes that had just dissipated came back again, and he just looked at Lin Chen with such red eyes for a long time, and said, "Don't wrong yourself, no matter what, your father and I hope you will be well." of."
"Others are not important, really, they are not important..."
It doesn't matter. These four words have been said many times, as if to comfort Lin Chen, but also as if to convince himself.
And Lin Chen's eyes were already unbelievably red.
The family chatted for a long time that night, and every word and sentence was filled with tender hearts.
Gentle people, life will never be too sad.
After staying at home for a month, at the beginning of September, Lin Chen returned to the apartment with the golden retriever and a bunch of things stuffed at home.
After not taking care of it for a month, the room was covered with a thin layer of dust. Lin Chen twisted the rag to clean up. He remembered that when he first met Tang Song, he hadn't been in this room for three months, but that Sometimes the house is clean and tidy, and it feels like home.
feel like home.
Lin Chen froze for a moment, looked around the room that had been cleaned, and suddenly understood one thing.
He used to regard this place as a writer, not because of anything else, but because he knew that there was someone here who would cook him delicious meals, leave a light for him when he came home late, and wait for him to come home no matter how late , by the way, welcome home.
A place without Tang Song is not a home.
Lin Chen was silent for a long time, and at the moment when everything became clear, his eyes became uncontrollably blurred.
Miss him, miss him especially.
Tang Song, let me leave the light for you this time, when will you go home?
When it rains many times outside, the branches are green and mottled, the leaves are broken and covered with winter snow, and after the sound of firecrackers, it will be a year.
This year, Lin Chen's company was busy, and he didn't have a few days of annual leave. When he went home to accompany his parents after the third year of junior high school, he was called back to the company by countless calls. He was busy for three months.
Time always flies by when you are busy, you leave early and return late, and sometimes you don’t even have the strength to wash up when you come back.
But no matter how tired he was, Lin Chen would always take out his mobile phone at night to read what Tang Song had written before. Looking at it, he couldn't help laughing slightly, and then slowly covered his eyes.
How he feels, no one knows except himself.
In May, a new garden was built under the community where Lin Chen lived, and the golden retriever liked that place very much.At this time, the busy season of the company is over. Every evening, he will take the golden retriever out for a walk. When he comes back, he will water the flowers on the balcony, cook dinner, wash the dishes afterward, and sit on the sofa with the golden retriever to watch TV. Channel, it doesn't matter what.
His cooking skills are becoming more and more exquisite, more and more like the taste of Tang Song's cooking.
Later he went to [Dawn], followed Meng Xi to learn the cake he bought for the first time, and tried many times at home, but failed to make that heart-warming taste.
Gu Nan always smiled and said not to worry.
Lin Chen would always be silent at this time, and then smiled, very calmly.
There are more and more red circles on the calendar, and when the old page is torn off, June will arrive.
It was June last year when Tang Song left.
The one-year period is approaching, Lin Chen began to suffer from insomnia all night, Jin Mao lay beside him and opened his eyes with him, Lin Shen couldn't fall asleep, so he began to tell Jin Mao a story about how he and Tang Song met for the first time , the details of living together, talking about Tang Song's narrow-mindedness and domineering, and the warm eyes when looking at him.
Some are sweet, some are sour, and some are astringent, and they are not too sad to be together.
At the end, Lin Chen hugged Jin Mao's neck and said softly: "You have to remember, there is another person in this family named Tang Song. When he comes back, you have to go up and shake his hand in a friendly way, do you know ?”
The golden retriever gave a docile bark, and Lin Chen laughed, which was very pretty.
In the end, the days can't be kept, and in a short while, it will be the middle of the month.
The light at the entrance was on all night, and Lin Chen also waited on the sofa in the city every day until he fell asleep, and he was not disappointed if he couldn't wait, day and night, again and again.
This day, the refrigerator at home was empty, and the dog food was also running out at any time. Lin Chen took the golden retriever to the supermarket outside, and it took two hours to go there.
When they came back, it started to rain, one person and one Wang rushed home with shopping bags, went upstairs, Lin Chen took a few steps forward, and suddenly froze.
Then, the lowered hand couldn't help it, and trembled slightly.
This year, the wind is very light, the clouds are very light, and the days are gentle.
The city is still quiet, the person with peaceful eyebrows raised his eyes quietly, and the person standing in front of him has the warmest smile and a calm voice.
"I am back."
The author has something to say: Is it over? (*/ω\*).
May everyone have a gentle heart and a warm person.
See you next time!
