salt by salt

Songcheng has a lot of things to do, and it is rare to squeeze out a whole day to stay with me, so I cherish it very much.No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but there is no need to think about the future these days, let alone tense nerves.

He asked me if I wanted to travel somewhere, I shook my head and said that going out was too tiring.

He put his arms around me and kissed the top of my hair: "Then let's stay at home and sleep late, and don't do anything else. I learned a few new dishes and I'll make them for you to try."

The two fell deeply into the warm and soft bedding, and I nodded, feeling a long-lost relaxation.

When watching a movie together, Song Cheng asked me to lean in his arms, and interlocked my fingers with the other hand.They are all classic old movies that have been watched many times, and I even accompanied him to check many of the lines.Sometimes he was so sleepy that he fell asleep in his arms, and when he woke up, he could still follow the plot.

The whole day passed leisurely, and time slowed down.We maintained a good tacit understanding, never mentioned other things or people, only kissed sweetly, and cuddled each other tightly, just like the days in the rental house a long time ago.

Song Cheng made breakfast for me, the fried eggs sizzled in the pan, the heat of the porridge floated in the air, and the oily aroma was mixed with the sweet and sticky rice aroma.I slouched over, hugged his waist and looked up, and he said, "Be careful of oil splashing on you."

There is a kind of gentleness in his body, and I put my face on his broad back with nostalgia: "You are blocking me in front of me."

Song Cheng hummed the tune softly, while turning the fried egg over: "Eat steamed fish for lunch, and then make steamed eggs with sea urchin. I think you like the one I made last time."

I said: "Generally like it."

"I like it so much and you ate it up? Huh?" He smiled. "Is there any dish you want to order? I'll send someone to deliver the ingredients and prepare it in advance."

I also laughed: "I want to eat French fries."

"Fried food is bad for your health, change it to creamy mashed potatoes?"

I like how Song Cheng and I talk like this, with a soft tone and a hint of discussion.Although it is also a constraint, it gives me the peace of mind of being loved.

"Okay." I rubbed his sweater and muttered, "You can do anything."

"Good boy, when did our Junyan become so easy to support?" He laughed out loud, "Go and sit by the dining table, I'll make breakfast for you."

Being good at creating the illusion of happiness, whether that is an advantage or a disadvantage, I don't know.

I am a light sleeper and have great difficulty falling asleep, so I often wake up in the middle of the night.Song Cheng fell asleep next to me, and I stared at his side face, with deep eyebrows, straight nose, and a clean outline outlined in the shadows.

Maybe he will be different in the future, like his father, or uncle, those who are really high above.He will become more at ease and have more unsatisfied desires.One day, he will find that Xu Junyan is nothing, and he is not worth keeping in his heart at all.

I dare not imagine what Song Cheng will look like when he reaches middle age—the shadow of the good times always remains in my heart.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I could see the tall young man in jeans with a boyish smile, waving enthusiastically to me and leading me into the tube building.The stairs were tall and narrow, and he turned and took my hand.

Or maybe it was him these days, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and he looked extremely good-looking when he wore an apron.He was busy in the kitchen, I leaned over and looked around, he stuffed a washed cherry into my mouth, and the pulp splashed sweet juice in my mouth.

If only he wasn't so stubborn, stopped trying to keep me in his hands, and saw me as an equal lover.

Maybe Song Cheng was also thinking in his heart, it would be great if Xu Junyan stopped stubbornly resisting. Anyway, he couldn't escape, so he might as well accept the fate of being treated as a canary.

90.00% of him is enough to make me fall in love countless times, but the remaining one percent is something I can never accept.

I remembered a little incident some time ago.

There is an area on the first floor of the Mingde office building for employees to relax. I came up by chance and went downstairs to have a look.It was noon, and there were many people in the rest area, only the sports field seemed empty.I played badminton well in high school and joined the school team. Seeing that there were only two young employees playing in the entire court, I stopped and watched for a while.

One of the girls poses in a professional manner, far superior to the other, obviously trying to accommodate the other, almost like a joke.The most important thing in competitive sports is evenness. She didn't play smoothly, and I was bored watching it.

The girl's opponent said that her arm was tired and she didn't want to fight anymore, so she showed a little disappointment.Looking up and seeing me standing by the court, she pursed her lips and invited me, asking if I wanted to play a game.

The employees of Minter's departments are not working on the same floor. She may have never seen me and thought I was a colleague from other departments.I watched on the sidelines for a long time, and it was a lie to say that I didn’t feel itchy. Just as I was about to take the racket, I suddenly remembered that my left leg was disabled and could not withstand high-intensity exercise.

I had no choice but to smile and excuse myself that I can't play.

27 years old.In the golden age of my life, the years of wanton running and love and hate are far away from me. My body is about to be scrapped, and I can only live like an old man.

Probably the dream was not pleasant, Song Cheng frowned suddenly.I looked at it for a while, then stretched out my hand to gently smooth him, my warm and gentle breath came to my palm.

It can't be said that it is envy, or acceptance of fate.

I thought to myself, he is still very young.

"The main stone of this necklace is a natural emerald. It has a rich color and a very pure texture, and it has four carats. Mr. Xu, look at the design here. It is both noble and dignified. It must be very suitable for Mrs. ..."

With a smile on his face, the introducer gently held up the necklace and showed it to me.

Sun Ning has been pregnant for more than six months. She has taken care of me for three years. Now is the time when I need someone to care about me. But I can't go back to accompany her during the Chinese New Year. I feel very guilty.

I heard from Yan Xia that because of her pregnancy, Sun Ning couldn't sleep well recently, and even felt depressed.I remember that she seemed to have a preference for gemstones, and she wanted to buy something to relieve her mood, so I asked Yin Wenjun, who has a wide range of knowledge, to know if he has any friends who do business in this field.

He very readily recommended this studio to me. The owner’s vision and aesthetics are very good, and the family has been engaged in the jewelry industry in Hong Kong City for generations, and has designed many jewelry for the royal family. There are many just for this name. sought after.

Just now I said that the person I want to give is pregnant, and the staff mistakenly thought that I was the husband who bought gifts for his wife, and I was a little embarrassed for my wife.I didn't find a chance to interject to explain, and I felt that it was unnecessary to explain too clearly to strangers, so I had to acquiesce in this misunderstanding.

However, the few pieces of jewelry he brought out were very brilliant. The emerald necklace I chose was classic and elegant in style, especially dazzling. I looked at it carefully and thought that Sun Ning would definitely like it.

I thought it would be better to just give the whole set, but the other jewelry didn't match well, so I asked, "Is there any other matching jewelry for this necklace? A ring or something like that."

"Our boss designed this one himself. At that time, we only picked one of the most suitable gemstones, so we only made a necklace." The staff immediately said, "I will contact him for you and ask about the specific situation."

After the call, the staff told me that their boss will communicate with me in person later.I still have this patience, so I nodded and smiled, and went to appreciate other styles of jewelry.

After waiting for a long time, I heard the staff behind me call "Boss", and turned around to see a rather young man pushing the door.

He has red lips and white teeth, and is not tall. When he saw me, he was obviously taken aback.I just thought this face was a little familiar, but I couldn't remember where I saw it, so I smiled, stretched out my hand and said, "Hello."

"Mr. Xu?" He shook hands with me, with a look of disbelief written all over his face, "Is that you? Picking jewelry for your pregnant wife?"

I was slightly offended by his tone, and I asked, "What?"

"I'm Tang Jiaze." He looked me up and down, "Don't you remember?"

Tang Jiaze.I searched for this name carefully in my mind, when did I have an intersection with this person——

"I'm Yang Chen's ex-boyfriend. We met a few years ago, remember?"

It was him.

It's unlucky, under such circumstances, you can still meet someone who has a relationship with Yang Chen.I thought quietly in my heart, with the same smile on my face: "Sorry, I don't have a good memory. So you are a jewelry designer, what a coincidence."

Tang Jiaze was not as aggressive as when we first met. He shrugged and sat down beside me: "My family members are all in this business, so there is no need to start from scratch. Mr. Xu, when did you have a wife who wasn't with Yang Chen?" ?"

"It was sent to my friend, the staff misunderstood."

"Oh." He nodded with a clear expression on his face, "I just said, how could you get married, Yang Chen not long ago..."

I looked up at him, and Tang Jiaze showed regret on his face, and hurriedly said haha: "I designed the same set of bracelets and brooches as that necklace, and they can all be customized now. Now that I have prepared For pregnant women, Mr. Xu, why don't you take a look at some of the models that can be used as a baby's full moon gift?"

I didn't ask about Yang Chen's affairs, and concentrated on choosing the jewelry for Sun Ning.Although this set of jewelry is not yet fully completed, its beauty can already be glimpsed from the renderings.I paid the money readily, and the staff will deliver the whole set of jewelry directly to Sun Ning after the production is completed.

There is nothing to say about Tang Jiaze's professionalism. I exchanged contact information with him and said that when Sun Ning's child is born, I will ask him to design a gift for the newborn.

He sent me out of the studio, and I asked casually, "Did Yang Chen ask you to design a ring?"

Tang Jiaze's expression was blank for a second of astonishment, which was enough to explain everything.Seeing me raise my eyebrows, he hastily retorted: "Yang Chen and I are in the past tense. In the past, we would confront you when we were young and ignorant. I didn't mean to interfere with you, but just treated him as a client—"

"No, no, no, I don't doubt you." I said, "I won't tell him that I know, you don't have to worry. Mr. Tang, your thoughts are really easy to guess, and everything shows on your face. Yang Chen is Didn't you still ask for engraving?"

Tang Jiaze nodded, and I shook my head helplessly: "He is a person who sometimes has unexpected traditions, which is simply a bit old-fashioned."

"Yang Chen loves you very much." He pursed his lips, "I have designed rings for many couples, you can tell at a glance whether you like it or not. He loves you very much."

I said, "I know."

"However, Mr. Xu, you don't seem to love him that much." Tang Jiaze said hesitantly, and added, "Some people's feelings are hidden in their hearts. I don't know your character very well. Maybe you are not good at expressing it."

"How could I not love Yang Chen." I smiled, "I was with him when I was 17, and he didn't learn to love until I was 27. Apart from his parents, I'm probably the most tolerant person in the world."

"That's why you can always be by his side." Tang Jiaze said with a hint of sadness in his tone, "Mr. Xu, you are really amazing. Few people can be as persistent as you... I wish you happiness."

I want to tell Tang Jiaze that there can be hate in a relationship while there is love.I hate Yang Chen, I hate his cruelty, I hate him for being the same stubborn and arrogant as before, I hate him for holding my hand tightly and not letting me go free, I hate him as much as I love him.

But in the end I just smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words."
