Chen Ke's new home is very elegantly decorated, with brightly colored floor tiles and white lace curtains that make it feel like a dreamy fairy tale.

There was dim candlelight on the coffee table, a few side dishes, and a bottle of red wine. Tang Yi couldn't help but laugh: "Are you trying to be romantic?"

Chen Ke wore a yellow floral skirt. The soft gauze fabric stuck to her newly matured body, making it even more obvious that Chen Ke's body was curvy and curvy. She wore white high-heeled crystal sandals and no stockings.

The little feet are white and tender. The toes are pointed upward playfully.

Tang Yi coughed dryly and withdrew his gaze from Chen Ke. Chen Ke chuckled: "If you don't look at it anymore, you won't be able to see it."

Tang Yi was silent and wanted to speak, but Chen Ke had already given him a glass of red wine: "Brother, I respect you. In a few days, you won't be able to see me again."

Suddenly realizing that he would really say goodbye to Chen Ke, Tang Yi took the wine glass and took a sip subconsciously, feeling a little bitter.

Both of them were silent, drinking sip after sip. When Tang Yi saw Chen Ke pouring himself the fifth glass, Tang Yi couldn't help but grab the red wine from her hand and said, "Stop drinking."

After a long time, Chen Ke slowly sat down next to Tang Yi and leaned gently into Tang Yi's arms: "Brother, are you angry that I came down to the grassroots level without saying hello to you?" Chen Ke, who was a little drunk, had a flushed face and even

Looks pretty and charming.

Tang Yi shook his wine glass and shook his head gently.

"I, I just want to work hard to catch up with you, I want to be more worthy of you..." Chen Ke looked at Tang Yi infatuatedly, his eyes were a little helpless and a little confused.

Tang Yi's heart tightened, and he hugged her tightly without saying a word. He sighed in his heart, Chen Ke, I'm not that good in front of you. I'm even so humble that I feel ashamed.

"Brother, promise me not to walk too fast. Wait for me, okay?" Chen Ke stretched out his little finger. Tang Yi's throat was a little blocked and he nodded gently. He reached out and hooked Chen Ke's little finger.

Chen Ke slowly fell asleep, and she didn't even have time to carry out her dedication plan. She leaned in Tang Yi's arms, and she was still murmuring: "Brother, tonight I, I am yours..."

Tang Yi was a little funny, but more sad. How could he be embarrassed by the innocent and silly Chen Ke?

Tang Yi never saw Chen Ke again in the days to come, but during the phone call with Sister Ma, he knew that Chen Ke was working very hard and diligently, and successfully graduated with the first place in the training class.

Then, he received a call from Chen Ke, "Brother, you have to say goodbye to me this Sunday. I will go to Ningbian on Monday."

Listening to Chen Ke's cheerful words, Tang Yi was silent for a while and said softly: "I know."

"It's settled." Chen Ke hung up the phone.

Tang Yi was in a daze. After a while, he slowly put down the phone. He always felt that something he didn't want to see was about to happen.

Then, on Thursday, he received a call from his second uncle. It was a weekend off this week and the old man wanted to see him. Tang Yi thought about the time and called Chen Ke to tell Chen Ke that he would return to Beijing on Saturday and could only bid farewell to her on Sunday night.

Chen Ke chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home. See you there."

Tang Yi took the train back to Beijing on Friday night. It was already morning when he arrived in Beijing, and his second uncle sent a driver to pick him up and take him back to the mysterious duplex courtyard.

After a good nap, it was already lunch time when I woke up, but the old man was not at home. I heard from the nanny Aunt Li that he had gone to reminisce with his old comrades.

After lunch, Tang Wandong entered Tang Yi's room. He hadn't seen him for several months. However, Tang Wandong had already grown a few hairs. His face was also a little thin. Tang Yi was slightly surprised. Isn't it satisfactory in the ministry?

Seeing Tang Yi, Tang Wandong smiled gently: "Little guy, your performance has been very eye-catching recently. In a few years, I'm afraid you will outshine your second uncle and me."

Pulling Tang Yi to sit down at the coffee table, Tang Wandong asked: "How is it? Do you have any ideas about going to the south or coming to the ministry to develop? The old man also hopes that you will take action."

Tang Yi suddenly raised his head and realized that he had finally been recognized by the old man. It was a clear signal that his grandfather began to care about his career, but Tang Yi did not want his development to be restricted by the family step by step. After all, no matter how wise his grandfather was, he was

I never thought of my inherent advantages.

Tang Yi thought about it and said: "I still want to train in Liaodong for a few more years." Tang Wandong nodded and smiled: "Yes, at your age you should really train more here. It will be very beneficial to your growth, but Xiaoyi

, you are going to get married to a girl from the Ning family soon, you can’t just live in separate places right after getting married, right? I think it’s better for you to go back to the ministry for the time being. Let’s talk about the future after things are stable.”

Tang Yi was completely stunned. Marriage? Tang Wandong's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Tang Yi's ears buzz and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"Mr. Ning and our old man have talked about it for a long time. It will be good for you to get married before Miss Ning's birthday this year. You are not young anymore. It's time to start a family." Tang Wandong smiled and picked up the tea cup.

It turns out that he is looking forward to this marriage very much.

Tang Yi's mind went blank, and he didn't know what kind of reaction he should make, but his second uncle continued: "In the past few days, I am going to visit relatives with the Ning family girl. I have already helped you to say hello to Liaodong, please."

A few days off. Preparation for the wedding, trivial matters are inevitable."

Tang Yi listened numbly to Tang Wandong's words, but felt confused in his heart. He did not resist the marriage with his younger sister, and knew that it would come sooner or later. But when it came to the matter, Tang Yi was confused, because he knew that really

When you get married, many things will change.

Tang Wandong saw that Tang Yi was distracted and patted him on the shoulder: "Think about it for yourself." He stood up and walked out. In front of Yi, she would always be like a snow lotus on an iceberg, aloof and dazzling.

So on this day, Tang Yi was like a puppet controlled by invisible threads, following Ning Xiaomei to visit people he recognized or did not recognize, including relatives and friends of the Ning family, as well as relatives and friends of the Tang family.

Everywhere I go, I hear praises and blessings. I don’t know how many people’s eyes have been attracted by the golden boy and beautiful girl. I don’t know how much glory the family will have, and I don’t know how it will shock the political circles of the capital.

As night fell, the red sports car slowly stopped at the intersection of the mysterious courtyard residential area. Looking at Tang Yi, who was silent in the passenger seat, Ning Xiaomei asked softly: "Are you tired?"

Tang Yi shook his head silently. He said he was tired. The little girl who disliked such trivial things as socializing was probably more tired than him. Tang Yi also knew that he shouldn't look down on the little girl. But in his heart, he was very depressed. It was really uncomfortable.

Know how to vent it out.

"Go play video games?" the younger sister suggested softly.

Tang Yi shook his head and looked at his watch. It was already past seven o'clock. Then he looked at his little finger. There seemed to be that smooth tenderness on his little finger, as well as that sworn promise.

Tang Yi opened the car door and got out of the car. He walked slowly into the mysterious alley. Looking at his back, Ning Xiaomei was stunned for a while before turning on the ignition and slowly starting the sports car.

In the simple study room, Tang Yi expressed his different views on the old man's decision for the first time: "Grandpa, I don't think it's the right time to get married. In June, the replacement work of cities and counties in Liaodong will begin and end in August.

I can't waste this time on planning the wedding, I think the wedding should be postponed."

The old man stared at Tang Yi for a while. Tang Yi's courage slowly dissipated under the old man's gentle gaze. Finally, Tang Yi lowered his head.

"A hero is short of breath, but a son and a daughter love each other forever. Xiaoyi, I am very disappointed in you."

The old man ignored Tang Yi again and spread out a piece of rice paper on the mat on the desk. Then he chose a thicker brush from the pen holder. He opened the inkstone and ground it twice with graphite. Then he dipped the brush lightly and evenly into the ink.

Come.

Tang Yi was stunned for a while, then turned around and slowly walked out of the study. The guard gently closed the study door. At that moment, Tang Yi's heart trembled. He knew that he had let his grandfather down.

Tang Yi returned to his room in a daze, lay down on the bed like a dead person, looked at the watch on his wrist, and looked at the phone on the bedside table. Tang Yi hesitated. Call? But what did he say? I'm getting married?

Time passed by minute by minute, and Tang Yi endured tremendous suffering every moment.

At the entrance of a charming community in Spring City, Chen Ke was wearing the Burberry white plaid windbreaker that Tang Yi bought for her, standing gracefully next to the white Jetta.

She looked at her watch from time to time, took off her pager and shook it to see if something was wrong.

"Dangdang" the twelve o'clock bell of the distant Admiralty Building was heard in the wind. Chen Ke looked at the road in the distance and whispered to himself, "Brother can't keep his words and can't speak the truth."

…”

Finally, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, got into the car, turned on the ignition, started, and drove towards the unpredictable future...

Tang Yi returned to Spring City on Wednesday afternoon. Before coming back, his second uncle told the old man that the wedding can be put on hold temporarily, but the marriage must be completed within this year. Tang Wandong said more seriously: "Xiao Yi, you have to remember that you represent more than just yourself."

.”

The next day, as soon as Tang Yi went to work, Gao Xiaolan entered his office mysteriously and asked curiously: "Director, are you getting married?"

Tang Yi was stunned, thinking that the news came so quickly.

Gao Xiaolan smiled and said: "Listen to what my dad said, you asked for leave to prepare for the wedding, why did you come back so soon?"

Tang Yi shook his head, not wanting to talk about this topic, but Gao Xiaolan pouted: "Director, you are really not interesting. I just met your girlfriend once, and I really miss her. When will I bring you here so that everyone can open their eyes again?"

Well! They didn’t believe me when I told them how beautiful I was!”

Tang Yi had no choice but to say perfunctorily: "Sure, I'll bring it to you someday for everyone to see."

Gao Xiaolan left with satisfaction. Before getting off work at noon, Tang Yi received a call from Sister Ma. Sister Ma smiled and said, "What, I heard that you are getting married?"

Tang Yi groaned, and his intuition told him that something was wrong. Sure enough, Sister Ma said: "I heard what Chen Ke said. After she arrived in Ningbian, she called your office to report that she was safe. I heard that the people in your office were planning a wedding.

"

Tang Yi was silent. Such words were not said by himself. How would Chen Ke feel?

Tang Yi was silent for a while and asked: "How is Chen Ke?"

Sister Ma smiled and said, "That's great. She seems to be very adaptable to her new job. She's in a good mood. She chatted with me for more than an hour. Ha, I didn't know she talked so much before."

Tang Yi said oh and hung up the phone after accepting Sister Ma's blessing.

After being stunned for a while, I picked up the phone again. After dialing "126", the sweet voice of the paging lady came: "Hello, pager No. 361 is at your service. May I ask your paging number?"

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, then pressed the phone again, sighed deeply, and slowly leaned on the chair.

Qi Jie called before getting off work in the evening, and her first sentence was also: "Are you getting married?"

Tang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Why am I not the first one to tell you?"

"Us?" Qi Jie giggled, "How many are there?"

Tang Yi sighed and said, "Not many, I'm exhausted. When will you come and see me?"

It was the first time Qi Jie heard that Tang Yi was so uninterested, and she immediately became nervous: "Husband, are you okay? Marriage is a happy event, you have to be happy!"

Listening to Qi Jie's words, Tang Yi didn't cry or laugh. He was more moved. At this time, shouldn't he make Qi Jie happy?

"Husband. Can I still call you husband after you get married?" Qi Jie asked timidly.

Tang Yi laughed: "Fuck you, you won't shout if I don't tell you to? When have you ever been so obedient?"

Qi Jie chuckled: "I always listen to your words. You are the shining sun, and I am the little earth, always revolving around you."
