Liang Yinqiu had to admit that Wang Haiyang, now in his thirties, had changed since they met again. He looked less immature and aloof than before, and now handsome and calm.
But is the man who collects things really calm? He is only calm on the surface.
Her son-in-law, Wang Jianan, is a down-to-earth man who is willing to bend down for his family. He is a good and honest child.
Destroying other people's families, what a thing!
Liang Yinqiu didn't hear the answer. As he lowered his head to pick up the teacup, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
She wanted to act like a mother-in-law, pointing her finger at the other person's nose and yelling at him, but her expression made her look as kind as Wang Haiyang's aunt.
Wang Haiyang's throat moved, and he swallowed the word "okay" along with the embarrassment.
Liang Yinqiu didn't intend to waste time and continued gently:
“With the recent surge in prices, it’s really hard to live in Kyoto.
Especially since you don't have the talent of Bai Juyi.
Xiao Wang, if you feel that life here is too hard, Auntie can transfer you back to your original place at any time."
After saying that, Liang Yinqiu picked up a bunch of Ruifengxiang bags, turned around and left with a smile.
…
Liang Yinqiu had been gone for more than ten minutes, but Wang Haiyang was still sitting in his original position with an expressionless face.
He ignored the bustle in the teahouse.
The tea in the cup beside him was no longer steaming. He sat there quietly for a while, and suddenly a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.
When Bai Juyi was fifteen or sixteen years old, he went to Chang'an to visit the writer Gu Kuang, with the purpose of living in Chang'an and making friends with celebrities.
What did Gu Kuang say then? Oh, yes, "Rice prices in Chang'an are very high these days. I'm afraid living here is going to be very difficult!"
Haha, I guess he is the same as my aunt just now, and has never looked down on me.
But what Yiqing's mother said was right, Wang Haiyang did not have the talent that made people look at him differently: "The grass on the plain is withered and flourishing every year."
He was just a small policeman among the countless people, and the kind that could be dispatched at will by high-ranking officials.
With a chill in his heart, Wang Haiyang returned to the office and opened the safe that he always remembered to lock.
On a partition in the cabinet were five neatly folded shirts of various colors.
Wang Haiyang looked at it in a daze.
These days, he only put them on when he accompanied his boss to meetings or had a date with Chu Yiqing.
Sometimes he would have dinner and chat with Chu Yiqing until very late, and then he would return to the unit.
Because he needs to change them before going home.
Because he was afraid that his wife at home would find out.
Because it doesn't match him.
He must be the guy wearing the most ordinary police uniform, riding a bicycle, and sweating all over.
What does he look like?
"Yiqing, are you free tonight?"
Chu Yiqing closed her eyes and pinched her Jingming acupoint. She didn't want to upset her mother, so she held the phone and was about to refuse when the other end of the line said:
"I have something I want to tell you."
Chu Yiqing immediately opened his eyes, then narrowed them: "What happened?"
"No. Yiqing, when we meet today, let's not talk about our children's education, the ups and downs of relationships at work, Wang Jianan, or Li Chunlan. Let's just talk about us, okay? Don't you always say I'm being pretentious? I don't want to be pretentious today."
Chu Yiqing's heart skipped a beat and he smiled.
"Okay, the truth from the heart deserves a good meal with wine and food, 5pm, Zhaolong Hotel."
…
Wang Haiyang was wearing black trousers and a white tailor-made shirt, and his police uniform was draped on the stool next to him.
He shook the goblet, his eyes filled with deep affection that was no longer concealed:
"From the first time I saw you, you were like a proud princess in my heart. I still remember someone whistled at you, and you kicked the guy so hard that he bent over and asked for leave the next day."
Chu Yiqing smiled and said, "My dad said that if you meet a little hooligan, you should beat him up."
Wang Haiyang also laughed: "I don't know why, but when the guy recovered and came to class, I kicked him again in the men's room. Later, my mother went to the school to apologize and let it go."
"How come I don't know?"
"I still remember that when the bell rang, I would stand on the second-floor steps and look at you on the first floor, with your stubborn ponytail swinging back and forth.
I watch you after class and follow you after school. All the brothers around me know that I like you.
Yiqing, your big brother Haiyang in high school only had a white shirt and a pair of white sneakers.
You said that the me in your memory was like a prince charming.
But you may never know that white shirts and white sneakers will turn yellow if washed too many times. The white you see is actually a lot of white chalk on them.
The first year I knew you, I followed you from a distance. It wasn’t because I didn’t have the courage to talk to you, but because I was afraid you would discover me if I got too close.”
The man's deep voice was full of memories. He spoke slowly and did not stop Chu Yiqing from drinking one glass after another.
"The following year, I spent the entire summer working in a small brick factory to earn some money. Amidst my mother's coughing, I bought a white shirt that would allow me to walk up to you and talk to you.
That was the happiest year of my life so far.”
"I went to find you. You were fine a few days ago. You held Li Chunlan's hand and said you wanted to go with her. You know I'm arrogant. Do you know how difficult it is for me to have someone in my heart? You can find someone good, but she's not good!"
Chu Yiqing's eyes turned red, she couldn't get over the pain in her heart.
"That winter, my mother was hospitalized. I borrowed all I could. I was hanging around your house trying to borrow money when I saw your mother and your brother from afar...
It was at that moment that I realized what the gap was.
