Min Xi stood at the door of the study but didn't go in. He leaned against the door frame and looked at his brother silently. My brother has made it clear that he will not go on the June 2nd trip.
The reason for not going was ridiculous. He said he didn't know how to take pictures so as not to be disliked.
No tour is complete without Min Ting joining us.
"Brother, you really aren't going?"
Min Ting raised her eyelids. If he didn't go, she would be disappointed, probably just like when he didn't bring soda to pick her up from kindergarten when they were children.
He was definitely going to go, but originally planned to stay for only one day. Seeing his sister's eyes full of anticipation, he couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so he said without principle: "If you don't go, who will peel shrimp for you? You'll drink water every day for six or seven days?"
Min Xi's eyes lit up, unable to hide his excitement: "Do you have time to play with us for seven days?"
"Yeah." Min Ting was still holding the pencil that was used to tick the ticket. He was about to write a few more words on the back of the ticket when his sister came over and interrupted him. He suddenly forgot everything he wanted to write.
Min Xi rushed downstairs to the kitchen at great speed, made a cup of milk for his brother, added jasmine flowers and two roses.
During this time, the corners of his mouth were always upturned and never came down.
Seeing that her brother could stay in Jiangcheng for seven days, she even had the motivation to pack her luggage.
Today she submitted an annual leave application to Yu Chengtan. He just approved it and asked again: "Why don't you take all ten days off together?" 】
Min Xi: [One week is enough. 】
Yu Chengtan: [Relax well these days, you will be busy in the second half of the year. 】
Shengshi Auto and Shengshi Technology will both hold new product launches in October. The second-generation upgraded version of Beiqingyu Oil-Control Shampoo will also be launched soon. Compared with the first-generation shampoo, the continuous refreshing time is extended by about 24 hours, which is a qualitative breakthrough.
"I'm talking to you. Can you please stop looking at your phone?" Director Yu lost his good temper. He always hated it when others kept looking at their phones while talking about something.
Mrs. Yu nudged her husband and said, "There must be something wrong with the child. Please be patient."
Yu Chengtan put down his phone and slowly asked his father, "What did you just say?"
Director Yu: “…”
He didn't believe that his son didn't hear it, so he deliberately asked him to repeat it again.
He just said that Min Xi has been in Jiachen for six or seven years, and her achievements and abilities are obvious to all. The several projects she has handled have made Jiachen's reputation far superior to Zhuoran. Next week, the board of directors will discuss the company's personnel changes. He and several other directors agree that Min Xi is capable of taking on the important task of vice president.
"I say, appoint Min Xi as Jiachen's vice president, in charge of key customer marketing. What do you think?"
Of course he had no objection, this was what Min Xi deserved.
But Yu Chengtan refused to answer his father directly, and settled the score later: "Didn't you say that if I handed Shengshi Technology to Min Xi, who didn't know anything about the business, the company would be ruined sooner or later?"
Director Yu: “…”
I had prepared myself mentally to be scolded by my son, but when the moment came, it was useless to be mentally prepared. I felt embarrassed and hot.
He admitted that he was quite dissatisfied when his son brought Min Xi to join Jiachen, especially when his son gave her the independent responsibility for a big client like Shengshi Technology.
In the past two years, he put aside his prejudice against Min Xi and carefully studied all of Min Xi's marketing plans. They were not only warm but also profound, and she always had her own thoughts.
The appointment was officially issued at noon on May 20th. Everyone in Jiachen received an internal email. Yan Yinan was also promoted.
Min Xi and Yan Yinan sent each other a red envelope of 520 yuan to congratulate each other on their promotion and salary increase.
Min Xi took a screenshot of the personnel appointment email he received and sent it to the three-person group that "strictly prohibits some people from comparing with each other", and also sent two spinning emoticons.
The only pinned dialog box on Min Ting’s WeChat is this small group, to ensure that he sees group messages first. He replied immediately: [I’ll reward you with three of the latest handbags. Is there anything else you want? 】
Min Xi: [Nothing else is missing.] 】
Because of the time difference, it is now 5:10 in the morning for Fu Yanzhou and he is still not awake.
Two hours later, Fu Yanzhou replied in the small group: [Sending you four sets of this year's autumn and winter haute couture clothes to celebrate your promotion. Is there anything else you want? . 】
Min Ting: [Please have someone look at the group name! If it happens again, I will kick you out of the group! 】
Fu Yanzhou: [I named the group, specially for you @闽庭]
Min Xi: “…”
She sent a private message to Fu Yanzhou: [You haven’t woken up yet? 】
Fu Yanzhou: [Get up. 】I have taken a shower and am changing clothes.
He typed with one hand and buttoned his shirt with the other.
What other gifts do you want? 】
Min Xi: [I don’t want anything. Just two sets of haute couture. I have several projects coming up in the second half of the year. I definitely won’t have time to attend banquets. It would be a waste to order them. 】
Fu Yanzhou didn't respond and changed the subject.
Min Xi called him instead and asked him when he would have breakfast.
The bodyguard sent her a message a few hours later, saying that he could not enter the study, and the ring was placed on the dining table, where Fu Yanzhou could see it when he had breakfast.
Fu Yanzhou replied: "The food will be delivered at 7:30."
Min Xi looked at his watch and calculated the time difference, there were still about six minutes.
"Happy 520, I hope your wish will come true soon."
Fu Yanzhou smiled and said, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"
"You should know."
"What are you thinking about?"
The doorbell rang and breakfast was delivered early.
Fu Yanzhou said into the phone: "Xixi, I'll go open the door, we'll talk later."
Before hanging up the phone, Min Xi heard the waiter's greeting, followed by the sound of several people's footsteps, probably heading to the restaurant.
It was clearly her who gave the surprise, but at this moment she was so nervous that her heart was pounding.
The early morning sun shone over the Rhine River and cast a few rays on the restaurant. There was only a vase of flowers on the dining table, and the dark red velvet box was placed in the middle of the table, which was particularly eye-catching.
When Fu Yanzhou saw the velvet box, he couldn't help but pause. When he realized what was inside, his breathing became disordered and the blood in his body became hot and boiling.
On 520, the ring was found.
Min Xi suddenly couldn't hear the footsteps: "Hello?"
Fu Yanzhou didn't hear it. He took a few steps to the dining table and opened the velvet box with held his breath.
Two well-trained waiters placed the breakfast neatly on the dining table. As they left, they glanced at the ring box in Fu Yanzhou's hand.
After not speaking for so long, Min Xi guessed that he had already received the ring: "Did your wish come true?"
Fu Yanzhou put the ring on his ring finger and said in a hoarse voice: "It came true. Thank you."
He added, "I will go back the day after tomorrow."
When you are in the passionate period of love, two days seem to be extremely long.
Two days later, Beiqingyu's 520 event also came to a successful conclusion. On Valentine's Day, my mother wished that the new products would sell out. This beautiful wish was realized on 520.
Min Xi worked all night for two nights and went home early today.
Min Ting went on a business trip and flew directly to Jiangcheng on June 1st. His parents were not at home and the house was deserted.
After taking a shower, Min Xi took out the photos of the self-driving tour to the northwest that he had looked at several times. He fell asleep in a daze before he finished looking at them. His phone slipped off the pillow, and the wooden table lamp on the bedside was still on.
"Xixi." Fu Yanzhou called her softly.
Min Xi woke up, opened her eyes and saw someone beside her bed. She thought she was dreaming.
Fu Yanzhou put her phone on the cabinet. She stared at him blankly. He lowered his head and kissed her: "Don't you recognize me?"
Min Xi suddenly hugged his neck. It turned out that he was not dreaming. "Why are you in my house?"
"I asked Auntie to open the door for me." Fu Yanzhou held her in his arms, "Let's live in our own home tonight?"
Min Xi said: "I have to go to work tomorrow."
Fu Yanzhou understood what she meant. He couldn't stay up too late, so he promised her, "I won't go to bed later than 11:30."
Min Xi believed him once.
But I trusted him wrongly.
Not to mention half past eleven, he had no intention of letting her go to bed even at half past twelve.
Min Xi looked like she had just come out of the swimming pool. Fu Yanzhou bent down and kissed the sweat off her forehead.
He's still in there.
She hugged his neck tightly, bent over and kissed him, whispering coquettishly: "You promised me."
This was when she was at her most gentle. Fu Yanzhou kissed her once but didn't stop.
He supported himself on her sides with both hands. Min Xi held his arm tightly for a while, and then touched the wedding ring on his ring finger. The wedding ring could not distract her.
It's about to reach the top and it's unbearable.
Fu Yanzhou held her around the waist with one hand and pushed her as deep as possible. Min Xi suddenly burst into tears and trembled uncontrollably in his arms.
He bent down and took her lips in his and kissed her deeply.
He held her for more than ten minutes before letting her go.
Everything in the room was familiar to her, even the smell, and she slept soundly.
When she opened her eyes again, it was the next morning. The person next to her had already gotten up and was jogging downstairs. He also left her a note next to his pillow.
[Will you get up early and exercise with me in the future?] 】
Min Xi couldn't remember how many times he had received such a note. He crumpled the note and threw it into the trash can beside the bed. There were not many used tissues in the trash can.
In the past, it would take half a bucket of paper. I didn't use many of them last night, as he kissed and swallowed almost all of them.
She had just finished washing up when Fu Yanzhou ran up from downstairs. His muscles were clearly defined under his black sports T-shirt.
Min Xi fastened the last button and fixed her hair in front of the mirror.
Fu Yanzhou closed the bedroom door and said, "I'll take you to work later."
Min Xi: "Don't. I'll just be angry at you for now."
Fu Yanzhou hugged her from behind and said, "I'll be more careful next time."
Min Xi ignored him and rolled his eyes.
Fu Yanzhou smiled and coaxed her: "Next time you have the final say."
Min Xi no longer believed him.
But for the next week, he did what he promised her.
The night before going to Jiangcheng, he failed to exercise self-control again.
The next day, Min Xi slept all the way on the plane to Jiangcheng.
Fu Yanzhou arranged the B&Bs himself. He booked three special B&Bs and stayed in each for two nights.
The first homestay we stayed in was built by the water and surrounded by mountains on three sides.
Min Ting arrived two hours earlier than them and set up a barbecue grill on the water-viewing platform. The water-viewing platform and the homestay were under century-old lush trees, and sunlight could not penetrate.
With nothing to do, he skewered the barbecue ingredients himself, starting with a few skewers of his sister's favorite shrimp.
"elder brother!"
Min Xi was looking for him in the yard.
"On the water viewing platform in front."
"Let me pick some cherries before I go over!"
Min Xi took off his shoes and walked barefoot on the bluestone path. There were various fruit trees in the backyard, with big red cherries dotted on the branches, and a mountain spring flowed through the yard.
Enjoying picking is one of the features of the B&B.
Min Xi turned to Fu Yanzhou and said, "Call the B&B owner and ask if he has a ladder." She wanted to pick the cherries on top.
Fu Yanzhou: "No need for a ladder."
He half squatted down, "You can use my shoulder."
Min Xi had a vivid memory of being carried on his father’s shoulders like this when he was a child.
"It would be inconvenient for me to pick it if you carried me. I dare not move at all."
Fu Yanzhou: "I'll hold you and pick them."
He held her legs tightly and lifted her up high.
Min Xi picked a small basket full of cherries, squatted beside the mountain spring water to rinse them, and ate them while washing.
At this time, another car stopped at the gate of the yard. It was my father's car, and my mother got out first.
Fu Yanzhou went over to help carry the luggage, and Min Ting also came over from the water viewing platform.
Min Xi waved to her mother: "Mom, come over and eat some cherries, they were just picked."
Jiang Rui walked into the yard with a smile and asked her daughter, "Is it sour?"
"It's ok, sweet and sour."
Min Xi came over with a half bowl of cherries, picked the biggest one and put it into his mother's mouth.
Jiang Rui finished her meal and ate another one: "It tastes good, a bit like the cherries I ate when I was a child."
Min Jiangyuan came over and looked around the yard. "Is there a mountain spring?"
"Well, the water that flows down from the mountain is very cool." Min Xi took a cherry and gave it to his father to eat.
"I'm bringing some to my brother. He loves cherries the most." She left the backyard.
Jiang Rui squatted down by the mountain spring to wash her hands. Min Jiangyuan followed her and stood beside her to block the sun for her.
She looked up helplessly: "Can you stop following me?"
Min Jiangyuan didn't say anything.
Jiang Rui snorted and laughed: "Are you pretending not to be able to talk now? Weren't you quite noisy before?"
Min Jiangyuan: “…”
Fu Yanzhou came over and asked his father-in-law and mother-in-law to go to the water-viewing platform in front for a barbecue. When he arrived at the backyard, he heard this sentence. He did not disturb them and turned back to the water-viewing platform.
No wonder my father-in-law's life has turned out like this.
Min Ting was grilling shrimps for his sister. He looked behind Fu Yanzhou and waited for a while, but his parents didn't come over. He looked at Fu Yanzhou and said quietly, "What secrets did you hear about my parents?"
Fu Yanzhou: "My parents too."
Min Xi: “…”
I never dreamed that the conversation would go this way. She pulled Fu Yanzhou over and pointed at the ingredients on the table: "Work more and talk less."
After a while, Jiang Rui and Min Jiangyuan came over one after another.
In the past, Min Jiangyuan did everything himself at home, from skewering to grilling. He was so used to it that he always felt that other people’s barbecue was not to his daughter and wife’s taste.
He rolled up his sleeves and said to Min Ting, "I'll grill it."
There were melon seeds on the table, and Jiang Rui grabbed a handful and ate them.
Min Xi was in charge of taking photos and recording videos. Looking at his parents who were speechless, he asked his father, "Dad, are you playing games?"
Min Jiangyuan always agreed to his daughter's request: "Okay. What game do you want to play?"
Min Xi: "Truth or Dare. Do you dare to play?"
Min Jiangyuan didn't hesitate: "Just ask."
Min Xi smiled evilly: "Who do you think is better, Min Ting or Fu Yanzhou?"
Min Jiangyuan: “…”
He thought his daughter could help him in front of his wife, but she ended up setting traps for him.
He smiled and said, "Whoever treats you well is good to me."
Min Ting took over the conversation: "Isn't this the same as praising me directly?"
Fu Yanzhou glanced at him, his eyes telling him to have some shame.
Min Jiangyuan coughed twice and said, "Don't fight among yourselves, both of you."
He turned to look at his daughter again: "Keep asking."
"Just one, no more questions." Min Xi picked up the bowl of cherries, leaned back in his chair and started eating.
Min Jiangyuan had a lot to say to his wife, and when he was distracted, a string of shrimps was burnt.
Min Ting sat in front of the barbecue stove again, "Let me do it. If it gets too burnt, it won't be edible."
Min Jiangyuan couldn't help but clench the iron skewer in his hand, turned to his wife and said, "Today, in front of the children, I want to say sorry to you." After a pause, "You asked me if I had known that my life would be like this thirty years ago, would I still get married?"
Jiang Rui pinched the melon seeds with her fingertips, but didn't put them in her mouth. She glanced at him.
Min Jiangyuan said: "I will still marry you."
Jiang Rui really didn't expect him to say this in front of three children. She was so embarrassed that her ears were burning. "Say less."
Min Jiangyuan nodded and continued to grill shrimp for his daughter.
Min Ting stood up and made an excuse to leave: "I'm going to pick some fruit."
"I'll go too." Min Xi got up and chased after his brother.
Fu Yanzhou put down the skewers that had not yet been strung together and followed closely behind.
Today's barbecue lasted from the afternoon until nine o'clock in the evening.
There was no other entertainment here. We took a walk in the yard and then went back to our rooms to rest. We had to get up early tomorrow to go fishing.
The window of the room was open, and the cool mountain breeze blew in. Min Xi snuggled in Fu Yanzhou's arms, sleeping on his arm.
Fu Yanzhou wrapped her in a thin blanket and said, "Go to sleep. You have to get up at 4:30 tomorrow morning."
Under the quilt, Min Xi touched his hand and held his fingers tightly.
She suddenly frowned: "Why do you wear the ring when you sleep?"
Fu Yanzhou: "Make up for the year I didn't wear it."
He kissed her face and urged her again: "Go to sleep."
The next morning, Min Xi thought that the alarm might not wake her up. She woke up when Fu Yanzhou pulled his arm away from under her head. The air in the mountains was good and she slept comfortably at night.
Fu Yanzhou covered her with the quilt: "Sleep for another half an hour."
Min Xi: “Not sleepy anymore.”
Fu Yanzhou opened all the curtains. Min Xi was so shocked that she sat up from the quilt. In front of her was green water surrounded by green mountains, with vast mist and waves, like a fairyland.
Fu Yanzhou looked at the water viewing platform under the window and told Min Xi: "Min Ting has already started fishing."
Min Xi threw off the quilt and got dressed and washed up as quickly as possible.
When his sister and ex-brother-in-law came downstairs, Min Ting was not staring at the fishing rod, but was looking through a stack of papers on his lap.
"Brother, good morning." Min Xi sat down next to Min Ting to avoid any lifting between them. She sat between them.
"What are you looking at?" She leaned over to take a look.
Min Ting handed the stack of paper cut into the size of an airline ticket to his sister: "This is printed from a scan. It depends on how some people behave. If you don't behave well, you won't be able to get the original in your lifetime."
He glanced at Fu Yanzhou again: "I don't know exactly how many times you visited Xixi and how many surprises you gave her." But it was definitely more than what he recorded.
"The driver told me everything he knew. If you don't know, you can only blame your bad luck."
Fu Yanzhou didn't understand what was going on, so he sat down and watched it with Min Xi.
Min Xi opened the cover and started from the first page. It was the plane ticket she flew to see him when she was in college. She had checked each ticket. The blank space on the back of the ticket was the time and place where Fu Yanzhou flew to see her. From the first to the 82nd ticket, they corresponded one by one.
That is the sign of their love for each other.
I was obsessed, but I don't regret it.
