Chapter 6 Chapter Six

Because of the project in Taichung, Tong Zhilei's performance was very good, so the superiors began to pay special attention to him, intending to cultivate him as the main talent. So a few days later, it was decided that he and two other assistants would go to the United States for a month in a Sino-US cooperation project.This case is related to his promotion performance appraisal at the end of the year, so Tong Zhilei must of course make full preparations.He started to get busy in recent days, so he cherished the time they spend together after get off work even more, and even skipped class to accompany him with a smile.Anyway, she didn't intend to go to higher education, so why should Li Chengfeng do it?

Before ten o'clock every day, Tong Zhilei would take her home on time, and then go home with a pile of documents to organize.Not long after he walked in the door, the phone rang immediately, and he picked it up. It was his mother's voice, and he remembered with some guilt that after returning from Taichung, he had never been home, and he hadn't even made a phone call. Your father said that you have performed very well in the company, and the superiors have been handing over important tasks to you, so you should take care of your health!By the way, on August 30th, remember to go to Jindi Hotel.Your father's sixtieth birthday, you will not forget it?Mother Tong explained.

He had forgotten about it, but he didn't think it was a good time to reveal his identity. Does dad want me to go? He knows your scruples, you should come early, he wants to talk to you for a while, your eldest brother and sister-in-law will also come back that day, you brothers haven't seen each other for several years.After the banquet starts, you go first!You are going abroad on the 31st, and it is not good to be too tired that day. All right!I will pass.After hanging up the phone, he hesitated whether to go with him with a smile on his face, thinking about it, let's talk about it after returning home.The reveal of his identity will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with Xiaomei. It is estimated that it will take several days to appease her, and his trip to the United States will be after the 30th. It is not appropriate to think about it. Moon time alone let her get into a dead end here.At that time, I am afraid that their relationship, which has finally entered a stable stage, will be shaken again.

He had to think of an excuse to deal with the displeasure of the smiling eyebrow.He is determined to marry this wife, so it will be at the end of the year!He decides. On Sunday, Xiaomei deliberately dressed herself up. During holidays, she never dated Tong Zhilei, and today her mother called Li Chengfeng not to come.Because, today she is going to attend her mother's engagement ceremony.Originally, this was just a matter between the two of them, but Chen Qijun finally proposed to Lin Ruyue after drinking for courage.This marriage can finally be regarded as a consummation of merit and virtue.When the two elders of the Chen family learned that their only son was finally getting married, they wept with joy and at the same time ordered their son not to act rashly, even the matter of engagement should not be hasty.So the two elders went north, set up ten tables in the restaurant, and invited school teachers and some relatives and friends to give testimony.

Lin Ruyue didn't have the nervousness of an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws. The old chairman and his wife watched her grow up. From junior high school to high school, she has always been a good student with excellent character and learning. After she got divorced, Mrs. Chen tried her best to marry her. Invite her to teach at her alma mater.It was not until Chen Qijun took over that the two elders returned to the south to provide for the elderly.It's just that the two elders never knew that Lin Ruyue was the object of their precious son's heart, otherwise, they would have sat idly by and been anxious for five years.

As soon as they met, the two elders put the jewelry on Lin Ruyue's body, and they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.At the same time, Ai Wu and Wu's also gave a smiley eyebrow gold necklace.The second elder is very easy to bribe, as long as she smiles and calls grandma to the left and grandpa to the right, she will be almost drowned in gold, and she will become glittering gold all of a sudden. Today's mother is really beautiful, and all the teachers who have worked with her for many years are shocked.They couldn't believe that Lin Ruyue, who was always rigid and indifferent, would be so beautiful after taking off her glasses.Not only beautiful, but also full of mature charm.Wearing the most suitable Nepalese-style clothing for her, her long hair is elegantly tied behind her neck, with a few wavy strands falling down, which is both elegant and charming; while the light makeup emphasizes her beauty and meticulousness.

Chen Qijun stared blankly at her fiancée, if he hadn't pinched him at the right time with a smile to bring him back to his senses, he might have drank juice into his nose and stuffed vegetables into his clothes.He couldn't even hear the jokes made by others. It was all due to Lin Yueru's handling of them properly that the engagement banquet would not be turned into a joke. When exchanging rings, Chen Qijun's hands shook like an earthquake.Xiaomei grasped his hand firmly and helped him put the ring into his mother's finger with all his strength.When Lin Ruyue slipped the ring into his finger, Chen Qijun's eyes were moist.Lin Ruyue smiled lightly, and under the booing of everyone, she printed the first kiss between them to hide his tears.She quietly wiped away his tears with her hands, she knew that this man would love her forever.

All the guests clapped their hands and put their arms around their shoulders with smiles, and said softly: Congratulations, Mom.Also, my new dad.Attached to his ear and confessed: You have to treat my mother well, you know?Otherwise, my daughter will settle accounts with you. I will. How could I be bad to her?Living with her is the biggest dream of my life.Chen Qijun looked deeply at Lin Ruyue, and said the first complete sentence of the night. After the noon banquet, they returned to Chen Qijun's apartment and agreed on a wedding date.Everyone hoped that the sooner the better, it was decided to hold it in October.Xiaomei sat alone and flipped through the newspaper. Anyway, she is not qualified to comment on matters discussed by adults.Flipping through the pages, I saw a 16-format engagement notice in the corner of the newspaper.

Wow!Mom, have you reported it?So cautious?She showed it to her mother. Lin Ruyue and Chen Qijun looked at each other, but the elders of the Chen family laughed. This is for some relatives and friends who have not had time to contact.The only child is getting married, of course it must be announced to the whole world! They didn't take it seriously and all laughed.There is a miserable feeling in the heart of the smiling eyebrow.Now her father will send her an audience soon.She never reported such important matters to him, and it was inevitable that she would be scolded. Originally, she wanted to delay the discussion until after they got married.

This time it's ahead of schedule. This premonition was quickly fulfilled.When she got home, she immediately received a call from her father asking her to have dinner at a Japanese restaurant at seven o'clock.Since then, the smiling eyebrows and bitter melon face have never relaxed.What a climax of this troubled midsummer period, and how miserable she felt! Why did you never tell me?Wang Daxiang didn't wait for his daughter to eat and drink enough, as soon as he entered the box, he immediately questioned her with a cold face. This is my mother's own business!The chairman is a very good person.I think my mother never said a word about my father's remarriage.Xiaomei knew that his father would care, but he had no right to care.

Wang Daxiang drank a glass of sake irritably.How to say?He was really shocked when he saw the newspaper, he thought that Lin Ruyue had no intention of remarrying.If even a man like him can't keep her, then who might she fall in love with?They were done right, but he wished he was still the only man in her life. What's so good about that guy?What does your mother like about him?He looked at his daughter unforgivingly, not happy that her heart turned to that outsider. Smiling, he looked directly at his father. The good thing about Mr. Chen is that he can give his mother 100% sincerity and care, which is what my mother has been looking for all her life.We should be happy for her, mother also has the right to pursue her own happiness. what do you do thenShe can't leave you selfishly. When I brought you to her, she promised to take good care of you.Sometimes his daughter's sharpness made him feel embarrassed, and he mercilessly told her disapproval in her accusing eyes.It clearly reminds him that he should not feel confident about the rights he has decided to give up.He remarried first, and he had already lost his position. What right did he have to try to use his daughter to prevent his ex-wife from remarrying?If it comes to raising, he is even less qualified to talk about it. He has never fulfilled his responsibility for a day.But how can you be sure that the man really treats Kisaragi?Who would accept a divorced middle-aged woman with a bottle of oil without any qualms.Maybe that man is just looking fresh for a while, and when Ruyue's beauty is gone, he will kick her away cruelly. At that time, isn't she very pitiful?He is just taking precautions now! I'm an adult and don't live on either side, I live in my current apartment.Mom has fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother.She didn't want to bring up the possibility that she might be sent off to get married at the end of the year.Tong Zhilei kept mentioning this matter, anyway, she has no big ambitions, and it is quite a new life to marry and have a baby.But if I tell my dad, I'm afraid it will lead to his wealth investigation.She didn't like it; and mother was busy with her own marriage at the moment, and it was not proper to bother her, so she kept it out. Looking at the expression on his father's face, it seems that his beloved toy has been snatched away, and he is very depressed.Smiling eyebrows frowned. Dad, be more gracious. Four months ago, my mother gave you a big gift as a wedding present. If you are so unhappy, you are too petty.You care so much, let Aunt Tong know, she will be very sad. It can only be said that his father's passion still has not restrained.He clearly loves Tong Xuehe, but he is worried about where his ex-wife is going, he is really amazing.Xiaomei is glad that she is not in love with this kind of man, and her sincerity can be divided into percentages to distribute. Is she going to have a baby?Knowing that the situation is over, Wang Daxiang still couldn't help asking about this matter. During his twelve-year marriage with his ex-wife, Ruyue refused to have a second child on the grounds that he could not let the child grow up soundly.Now that she is married, is it possible for her to have another child?God, he was starting to envy that man. Smiling eyebrows didn't want to answer this question. After hastily picking up some sushi, he picked up the leather bag and said, "You can ask mom about it."I'm going home, bye. Looking at the disappearing figure of his daughter, Wang Daxiang felt a deep sense of loneliness in his heart.The ex-wife is a very good and caring partner. She is smart, humorous, funny and cheerful, and at the same time has a classical temperament. She is the most special woman in his life.Of course he loves his current wife, but because of the difference in age and her submissive personality, he can't communicate with her.She is obedient and serves him meticulously.But alas!His biggest shortcoming in this life is the pursuit of perfection, and he will never be satisfied. He thinks his ex-wife is too demanding and not gentle enough, but he thinks his current wife is too docile and lifeless.After chasing for most of my life, but I am only accompanied by the word loneliness.Afraid of restraint, but can't let go of anything.Hearing that his ex-wife was getting married, he realized that his old love for her was still deep.He smiled bitterly, is it selfish?Affectionately laughed at me, Zao Shenghua made a pot of sake, and drank it all in self-mockery. Since Tong Zhilei was going to attend a banquet on August 30th, today was their farewell date.Of course Xiaomei skipped class again.After eating a big meal, the two walked on the moonlight, laughing and going to pick the moon.The bus took one stop after another, and finally got off at the botanical garden. Both of them liked the quietness here. I really want to tie you on the plane and take you to America together.He hugged her from behind, burying his face in her hair. I will not fly away.Even if I fly away, to the ends of the earth, you will not let me go, and you will catch me back and beat me up again!She stated what might happen to her.She has experienced Tong Zhilei's overbearing. Don't look at his cold face, the strong enthusiasm he treats her will scare people to death.He gave wholeheartedly. If she hadn't fallen in love with him, she would have been terrified, and she would have to love if she didn't love him.Fortunately she fell in love with him too. Remember to be good, you know?He confessed again, lost count of the number of times.Maybe it was because he was afraid of being separated for too long, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, as if something was going to happen. I'm very good!You occupy me so that I have no time to be misbehaving.She pulled his hand away, and the two walked forward again.I heard that you were talking and laughing with your female colleagues. he laughed.If it's jealous, I accept it.But I will be angry with you for listening to the truth, and gossip is better than the facts you know? Xiaomei never believed it.Although he doesn't like to listen, when others mention gossip about him, he can't help but want to know.There are too many versions of the content, she was a little confused, she deeply admired those people's ability to create rumors; she was even more fortunate that the relationship between them was kept secret very successfully, if it was exposed, it would be miserable, I don't know what it will be like, think about it So she couldn't help shivering. Walking under a lamp, he pulled her body to face him, with a mysterious smile on her face. Um?She looked at his expression curiously, but couldn't figure it out.I've decided that today is the big day of our private life.He took out a blue velvet box from his pocket. Xiaomei was quite frightened, he came to this show on such a sudden, wouldn't it be too exciting?Using street lamps as candlelight and the noise of passing cars as music, it's really special! He had slipped a small ruby ​​ring on her right ring finger, and it was just the right size. very expensive, right?When did you buy it?The smiling eyebrows felt weird, and the ten fingers of both hands had never worn such things before.She has always been afraid of being restrained, and he probably won't allow her to take it off in this way.Maybe she can pay him back by buying a dog leash!Thinking about it, I was really bad-hearted. Last month's salary is the value of this ring, how will you reward me?How about a promise kiss?He moved closer to the face. Smiling eyebrows offered several kisses again and again.It will be a month's separation, and she will definitely miss him very much.I can't help but want to kiss for a full month to comfort the pain of lovesickness.I will miss you very much, you have to call me!She was starting to miss him. Of course you have to call, and I will check in every day, if you let me know that you are not good, hum!snort!Imagine the consequences.He pretended to be menacing. It made me giggle and laugh.You will only threaten me!She jumped into his arms and hooked his waist, coquettishly said: But I know, you are reluctant to hit me, at most you just want to scare me, right? right.I've let you see through it all, will there be any dramas in the future? Yes, threats can't be used, they can be changed to inducements.She tried her best to heal herself for him.Thankfully she has such a penchant for digging her own grave. Lollipop?Or ice cream?He raised his eyebrows.Maybe he can consider selling ice cream in the future to cure the drooling of his smiling eyebrows, and he can take the opportunity to lure her.It's admirable to eat that kind of high-calorie food without gaining weight! Talking about walking, I have already entered the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.The lights at night set off a splendid scene, and there were still people setting off fireworks.Tong Zhilei bought extra large balls of ice cream and marshmallows for her at the door, and easily got her kisses, so it was very easy to bribe this girl, and it took no effort at all. Counting up the stairs one step at a time, the eighty-ninth step is the highest level, sitting on the ground with a smiling brow, overlooking the surrounding night scene.The flowers that bloomed in midsummer looked a little haggard in the moonlit night. Tonight is the full moon. She looked at the moon, leaned back into Tong Zhilei's arms, rested her head on his shoulder at an angle, and said a few words that suddenly came to her mind. : The clouds break through the moon, the flowers play shadows, the wind is uncertain, people are quiet at first, and tomorrow the sun will be red and the path will be full I don't like this one.Tong Zhilei murmured softly. It's just for the occasion, I don't remember what I said earlier, it's Zhang Xian's fairy, right? He recited the first half of the passage: "Water tone several times and listen to it with wine, and wake up from noon drunk and worry about it."When will I send Chunchun back?In the evening mirror, hurting the scene, the past is empty in the later period.It is a word that is full of emotion after parting and cannot be recovered.We don't do that.Don't keep memorizing such sad things, I'm already disturbed enough, you still want to be naughty with me!He scolded in a low voice, and the uneasiness in his heart deepened again, and he hugged her tightly. Smiling and sticking out his tongue, he is really sensitive!She gently comforted him and said: Do not be like that!If you are not happy, I am also sad!I promise, one month is as fast as water, and it will pass before you find it.Then you will come back and see me safe and sound. After I come back, I'm going to visit your mother and propose marriage to her. She replied mischievously: My mother is already married, why are you going to propose a marriage?Are you afraid that her fiancé will challenge you to a duel? naughty!You know what I'm talking about.It was getting late, and he helped her down the stairs.go home. The taxi stopped in front of her house, and after getting off the taxi with a smiley eyebrow, she took Tong Zhilei's hand.I also want to see my mother, and the timing is not bad today!Let's go up together, okay? He shook his head, he hoped that the parents who saw Xiaomei for the first time would be more serious.He didn't prepare anything today, and he got out of the taxi because he wanted to see her more and kiss her for a while. I will visit her again when I return home.He wrapped her in his arms, and carefully imprinted kisses on her face.Be good! Smiling eyebrows couldn't bear to look away, and nodded, God, she began to feel the pain of lovesickness, a month seemed like a century. Tong Zhilei frowned and tapped the tip of her nose.Don't have this expression, like a puppy abandoned by its owner. She couldn't say any more words of farewell.Tong Zhilei thought: If he stayed longer, she might start to cry, so he kissed her again and got in the car.Go upstairs and I'll call you every day. Nodding with a smiling eyebrow, he insisted on waiting for his car to drive away until it disappeared at the turning, and he walked towards the gate dejectedly when he was no longer in sight. One month, Wang Baochuan has been guarding the cold kiln for eighteen years, which is almost the same situation.She didn't expect that she would be so sad after saying goodbye, and tonight she laughed that Tong Zhilei's uneasiness was unfounded! A figure flashed out from the shadow of the gate like a ghost, blocking Xiaomei's way.Xiaomei was not mentally prepared to be shocked for a moment, and hurriedly stroked her still-shocked heart, and stared hard at the person who blocked her. Li Chengfeng, what are you doing?Still here at this late hour! Li Chengfeng stared at her gloomyly, and roared out his anger in a violent and hoarse voice: Who is he? none of your business.Smiling eyebrows looked at him strangely, his expression was like a husband caught in bed.That's ridiculous!She is the one who should be angry!He saw the scene where she was making out with her boyfriend, and instead of seeing no evil, he put on this very angry face and questioned her, who did he think he was! You left me aside these days and kept me sitting at your house for two hours just because of that man?He vomits!Of course he vomits!Originally, he thought that Xiaomei didn't understand love, so he would be ignorant of his dedication. He originally planned to tolerate her and protect her with greater patience. He only hoped that when she began to know love, he would be the first to fall in love. The man in her eyes was not the same thing at all, she already had a boyfriend!Just now he had been guarding the gate for nearly an hour before waiting for her to come home. Unexpectedly, he saw her alluring in the arms of a strange man, letting him kiss him wantonly!He, Li Chengfeng, is also a master of the game, but he never dared to offend Xiaomei. Unexpectedly, he was too polite and patient. During this period, she had already been abducted by another quick-handed man!And he was still ignorant!He had been a fool for nearly a month in vain! You are lying!The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had to give him an explanation, and her tone became even hotter. Smiling eyebrows with hands on hips, not to be outdone, roared back: none of your business!Go away, who do you think you are?Standing downstairs in my house and yelling at me in this tone. Li Chengfeng was the second man in her life who yelled at her, but it made her feel much worse!Tong Zhilei yelled at her that time because he was teasing and affectionate, and was just trying to scare her, but because she cared too much about him, he yelled at her obediently.But Li Chengfeng couldn't get this kind of effect. His status in Xiaomei's heart was far behind Tong Zhilei, and he couldn't be called a friend. In addition, his half-hearted record was seen in Xiaomei's eyes, and his evaluation of him had long been It was a negative growth, and at this time he thought that the person who yelled louder had an advantage, so he yelled at her if he didn't weigh himself, so that the smiling eyebrows would not be frightened.Who is afraid of whom?Her voice is not small, are you afraid of losing him by yelling? Gritting his teeth, he didn't know what to say for a moment, and couldn't help reaching out to grab her shoulders.Smiling, he took a quick step back. Is he better off than me?He doesn't even have his own car, so I won't lose to him in terms of looks!Under the streetlight, he could see seven or eight points clearly. The man's figure was slender, with a well-proportioned and strong frame, and his face was full of gentle and handsome.Seeing that he is dressed as a white-collar office worker, he might be a shellless snail!He will pursue Xiaomei because he is interested in inheriting a large amount of property in the future.There is no guarantee at all. If Xiaomei had brains, he would choose him. Smiling eyebrows saw his unspoken contempt, she said coldly: He doesn't have a car, and the house is also rented. He looks exactly the kind of gentle and handsome I like. His family background may not be as good as yours, but I can tell you what you lose to him.What you lose to him is: he has a heart of 100% gold. In his eyes, money and material things are just tools for application, not indicators for measuring other people's status.I don't think you'll get the point, because in your world, money rules everything, no wonder my dad likes you, you happen to be the same kind of guy, and, you know, I said it from the beginning There can be nothing between you and me, and I never encouraged you to pursue me.In the future, there is no need to use tutoring as an excuse. Everyone knows that there will be no such thing as going to higher education.She walked around him sideways and walked towards the elevator without looking at Li Chengfeng again, and he didn't follow either.It's best for him to give up and return to Tong Xuelian obediently.If Tong Xuehe is suitable for dad, then Li Chengfeng and Tong Xuelian will also be a perfect match.After entering the elevator, when the door closed, she caught a glimpse of Li Chengfeng's thoughtful eyes at the gate. What was he thinking?Well, who cares, as long as he doesn't bother her anymore, she will start counting buns obediently until her sweetheart comes home.She couldn't help but smile and looked at the ring on her finger, she was really locked up for the rest of her life. After entering the house, she was stunned for a while, and there were more than a dozen framed wedding photos in the living room.Chen Qijun was also there, and he and his mother were sitting together looking at a photobook. When did you go to shoot it?Wow!So many enlarged photos, very expensive, right?Smiling eyebrows sat on the floor, carefully looking at every scene of happiness.When my mother got married for the first time, it was not popular to take wedding photos. There were only rough pictures taken during the banquet. These are the most formal wedding photos in my mother's life. Lin Ruyue came over and hugged her daughter. Last week, I went to test shoot some of these when I was free. I didn’t intend to zoom in so much, but your grandpa Chen and the others insisted on taking some as gifts for relatives and friends.Tomorrow we have to shoot another ten groups, and you have to go too.We're going to take a family portrait.I took a beautiful picture of you, and it will be more convenient for blind dates in the future. Tomorrow is the weekend, so it's not difficult to ask for leave temporarily.Xiaomei was amused by the solemn and almost crazy request of the second elder of the Chen family.She walked up to Chen Qijun and looked left and right at him, making Chen Qijun uncomfortable, his fair skin flushed. mom!I always knew that Uncle Chen was handsome, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome after dressing up. Wouldn't it be an eyesore for him to still have this old-fashioned look?She discussed it with her mother in earnest. In the wedding photo, Chen Qijun blew his hair in a chic suit, revealing his full and intelligent forehead and forehead, and his two eyebrows are more handsome. The 40-year-old golden bachelor is very attractive.It's a pity that he has been stationed in the pile of books for a long time, and he doesn't retouch his appearance. He often cuts his hair until his eyes can't see clearly, and then lets it grow long.The clothes are comfortable and easy to wash. When there are few suits and leather shoes, it is always a dark shirt, dark suit pants, and a jacket.He often buys new clothes until they are worn out, and the suits he wears on formal occasions are also outdated styles, wasting his good figure in vain. Lin Ruyue also sat down. From now on, it will be up to me to rectify and let people know what an excellent husband I have. Seeing Chen Qijun start to giggle.A man who is a bit silly will be blessed with foolishness, and his smile can predict how much Chen Qijun will cast all his arms on his mother in the future.It's happiness!Chen Qijun needs a good woman who can take care of everything for him as a companion.Will Tong Zhilei be too?She frowned, the situation could be reversed and she would be the one to be taken care of in the future.Not bad either!She likes his love for her. Lin Yueru grabbed her daughter's right hand sharply and said: Who sent it?She didn't think her daughter was interested in buying jewelry to wear at all.Just ask her what she thinks is going on.Although she has been busy with classes and shopping for dowry these days, she did not ignore the hidden joy and affection on her daughter's face. Lin Xiaomei also felt that it was time to talk to her. When he returns to China, I will bring it to you to see, you will like it. As long as you like it, I am absolutely sure of your vision.But this boy is too domineering, does wearing a ring mean that if the parents don't agree, he will definitely kidnap you and elope? With his personality, I'm afraid it's very possible.However, my mother will not give him this opportunity, because you prefer to marry your daughter in a beautiful way.The smiling eyebrows smiled sweetly. Lin Ruyue narrowed her eyes and stared at her, with her arms across her chest. Does this mean that your happy event is near? Too soon, Xiaomei is only twenty years old!We haven't seen the man yet.Chen Qijun had a troubled look on his face.In his eyes, Xiaomei was still a child, not to mention that he was about to have a daughter, but he might marry again soon, so he inevitably began to feel sad. Nodding with a smile. I think so too, and I know I'm not yet an adult.But he said that he didn't want me to grow up, but wanted me to remain innocent forever.Moreover, the arrival of fate is regardless of age. I was just lucky to have arrived before I waited for it; as for you, you have waited for twenty years to achieve consummation. Judging from his words and deeds, he seems to be a man who suits your temperament.I've started to like him, what's his name? Tong Zhilei.He is a golden bachelor in the planning department of the company where I work, seven years older than me.Eat ice cream with me every day.When I said this, scenes of time spent together flew through my mind, and all the sweetness leaked out of my eyes, full of the cute and naive attitude of a little girl who is in love for the first time. Lin Ruyue and Chen Qijun looked at each other and smiled!That man must be an amazing man, he can guide the smiling eyebrows to open up, and he can embrace everything about her with appreciation and see the beauty of the smiling eyebrows. This alone shows his unique insight. Just waiting for that person to return home.Maybe, Lin Ruyue thought, maybe the mother and daughter could leave the cabinet on the same day, the scene must be quite impressive.
