MTL - Have You Ever Met Such a Cold Author-Chapter 15 When we meet again after a long absence
Tang Tu woke up in the morning and habitually turned on the computer first to check the author's background.
Because of the jet lag, he usually gets up early to update, but he doesn't need it today, but he still put a chapter of the update into the background manuscript box, and finally went through the manuscript again, revised two wordings, and then set it up for this chapter. Regular update at night.
In the morning, it seems that he can't work. At noon, he will officially meet his brother's girlfriend for the first time. According to custom, as the eldest brother, he should be regarded as an elder, and he should prepare a gift for the woman to show his recognition of her. Because of this unexpected task, Tang Tu's room was temporarily closed. He took care of himself, stuffed the lipstick engraved with "Gift Feather" into the deepest part of the box, and then took a taxi into the city.
The only luck is that there is no need to worry about what to buy for Lin Long. Tang Tu thought bitterly when he set off, after all, the day before, he had just made up for what gifts to give to girls of his peers. He didn't expect this strategy to be reused a second time.
Tang Tu, who really has no experience in gift giving, is going to go to the mall to buy another lipstick of the same type - only this time, there is no need to engrave.
The taxi slowly drove into the center of this huge and prosperous city. After seven years of wandering, the time to return to "home" was approaching. There are some people who have come back from a long trip, they will be close to their hometown and feel timid, but Tang Tu is just the opposite. He feels that all his emotions have sunk into the deep sea. Once again, seeing this ancient city where he was born and raised, he seems to be indifferent. A stranger has no expression on his face and no joy or sorrow in his heart.
He deliberately did not choose the subway, but took the ground transportation to reunite himself with the city face to face. These familiar sights stimulated all the protective mechanisms in his subconscious to the greatest extent, and his true self was buried in the deepest and darkest corners, and beyond that, he was locked with the coldest mask layer by layer.
Be extremely prepared, be extremely indifferent, and seal your heart from the very beginning. Only in this way can you not bleed or collapse when dealing with the deadliest blow.
Tang Tu walked into the bustling shopping mall, identified the location of the makeup area, and walked forward. Even on Monday morning, such a popular shopping mall will not be deserted. In the crowd of people, Tang Tu seems to be out of tune with the crowd.
Today, he wore a black coat with a self-cultivation stand-up collar. He was calm and solemn. Anyone who knew the goods would be able to recognize that this coat was the spring style of a luxury brand last year, and it was expensive. He is tall and straight, with a handsome face, but his expression is as indifferent as ice. He seems to be withdrawn from this lively and noisy place, like a clump of bamboos on the high ridge, which cannot be approached or broken.
The expensive price of his clothes and the indifference between his eyes shocked the shopping guide at the counter. She quickly picked up a lipstick according to the picture shown by the other party, and did not even dare to recommend other products to him routinely. The back is gone.
The time to meet Lin Long was a little earlier than Tang Chu expected.
Near lunch time, they met at the entrance of the high-end villa complex. Lin Long got out of the car and waved to the bodyguard not to follow him. After passing the security check at the entrance of the community, she took off the huge pair of sunglasses that covered half of her beautiful face, and looked at the man standing there for only two seconds. Lin Long smiled and said, "Hello, Brother Tang Tu."
Tang Tu has not returned for seven years, and there are not many photos left in her youth. She recognized people so quickly, obviously she did her homework beforehand - so it seems that she treats this relationship between herself and Tang Qi, or Seriously.
Thinking of her mother who was waiting at home not far away, Tang Tu didn't know whether the girl's serious attitude was a good thing or a bad thing, so she just nodded and said, "Hello."
"We haven't seen each other in years."
How to take this? Tang Tuo thought nervously, the two of them probably met two or three times at the banquet when they were young. He only had a vague impression of the children of the Lin family, and he had nothing to say. Although he specially prepared another lipstick as a gift, he never thought that he would run into his brother's girlfriend alone.
Unprepared, he thought of the process that he had prepared yesterday but didn't use.
"I brought you a small gift." Tang Tuo backtracked stiffly, "Just be careful and treat it as a gift."
Chatting with strangers, he was so nervous that he forgot the gift bag he handed out. Lin Long didn't care, he took the bag and took a look at it. He smiled and said, "I like this brand very much.
Tang Tu looked at the ground awkwardly, "No thanks."
"Tang Qi always told me before that his brother had a hard time when he was a child, and told me to let everything go after seeing you." Lin Long tucked his hair together and sold his boyfriend without caring, "But I'm here. Before, my brother told me that his landlord is a very receptive person. He doesn't need to be restrained. Then I won't do that with you. Brother Tang Tu, you can tell me the truth, your mother she How much do you dislike me? Tang Qi is afraid that I think too much, and always comforts me that he will try his best to get his mother - I can see it, not yet."
The elder brother in her mouth is undoubtedly Lin Lang, the eldest son of Lin Kangsheng, the contemporary ruler of the Lin Group.
The eldest young master's temper is also unpredictable. The Lin family has only a lot of real estate in the United States, but he doesn't want a single one. Instead, he finds acquaintances in the same city—in fact, he doesn't know much—asking for a relationship. rent.
Lin Lang once told Tang Chu that if it wasn't for the relationship between Lin Long and Tang Qi, he would probably have to live in a hotel if he couldn't rent Tang Chu's house. At that time, Tang Tu only thought about what happened in the Lin family. The eldest son could not live or die in his house, but he was not a gossip person, and he had not lived in Dongling for a long time, so he didn't care much about this kind of problem. , so he didn't ask any further questions. Looking back now... He actually thought that the "relationship between Lin Long and Tang Qi" in Lin Lang's mouth meant the relationship between ordinary friends, and his thinking was too simple.
The brothers and sisters have the same personalities, straightforward, strong and decisive, Lin Long smiled at Tang Tuo and said, "You told me first, so I have to be prepared, for example, will I be scolded out as soon as I enter the door or something— To be honest, I have a very important work meeting in a while, and the other party has something to do at three o'clock, so wait until two o'clock at most, the sooner the better."
Tang Tu was helpless about this question and said, "Sorry, Miss Lin, I really don't know."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Long said casually, "Just call me by my name, or change my name to my younger brother and sister. Anyway, I will definitely marry Tang Qi."
Tang Tu smiled unnaturally, did not respond to this sentence, and made an inviting gesture.
When the two walked side by side to Tang Tu's parents' residence, he thought to himself, after seeing his mother today, Lin Long wondered if he could say this without hesitation.
The person who came to open the door was Tang Qi. He looked like he was about to go out to pick up someone, but both Tang Tu and Lin Long came early.
Tang Tu looked at Tang Qi's face and knew that the situation might be a little worse than he imagined. Lin Long didn't seem to feel anything, and took Tang Qi's arm forward with a smile.
"Brother." Tang Qi first nodded to greet Tang Tu, and then hugged Lin Long hard.
"Good noon dear." He didn't smile and said softly, "I'm sorry, it might be a tough battle today, but I'm definitely on your side, okay?"
When Tang Qi didn't smile, he looked somewhat similar to his elder brother Tang Tu. "That's great." Lin Long said happily, as if the other party was saying "How about Italian food for lunch today".
"Did Tang Tu come back?" A woman's voice came from upstairs.
"Yes, Mom. Lin Long is also here." Tang Qi answered loudly.
Tang Tu followed behind Tang Qi, and after many years, stepped into the door of this luxurious villa again. It's amazing, the moment he crossed this threshold, he suddenly recalled that seven years ago, when he stepped out of this place for the last time, his mother was still threatening: When you go abroad, correct the problem, or you will never come back!
So, Tang Tu really never came back.
It's hard to say how Tang Tu felt when he saw the woman in the wheelchair again.
She is old. The fatal disease is visibly draining her physical and mental strength. Today, she even wears loose hospital gowns to greet guests. Her face is wrinkled and she doesn't wear any makeup at all. For her youth, good face is better than life. , which is completely unimaginable.
Tang Tu thought that she would bring back many unbearable memories of her, such as the baby whose face was blue but still struggling weakly, such as the binding clothes that made him breathless, and the admission of Dongling University, which was torn to shreds and burned to ashes. notice.
But it didn't. She was so old and frail, not exactly the toughness he remembered.
"Baby!" Mother Tang cried out, tears pouring out, "Mom's baby, you are so old, my son..."
She was so emotional, she opened her arms in the wheelchair with tears streaming down her face, and motioned for her eldest son, who had reunited after a long absence, to give her a hug.
Tang Tu stood on the spot and said calmly, "Hello."
