许半生却道：“顺其自然吧，你也算是少有的能和我爷爷聊到一块儿的老人。我爷爷一把年纪了，找个能说话的伴儿也不容易。你若不愿我不强求，若是你也觉得跟我爷爷能做个晨练的朋友，那么就保持原样，也省的他老人家怀疑什么。”

老莫笑了笑，道：“晨练的那帮老头儿老太太，还真是没什么人能跟你爷爷好好的聊聊天，他们所关注的，无非是些柴米油盐。也好，我虽然不是什么重要人物，不过给许老爷子做个聊友，还是合格的。那就顺其自然吧。我回去了，今天已经出来的太久，家里人该担心了，估计他们都上山找过我了。”

许半生点点头，道：“我让三哥送你回去。”这里虽然并不太远，但是外头还下着雨，走到能打车的地方也还有段距离。

老莫也没拒绝，任由许半生安排，冯三开着车把老莫送了回去。

蒋怡早就到了，只是知道许半生在和老莫说话，就没来打扰他们。蒋怡非常有分寸，并没有因为她和许半生之间的关系，就觉得可以随意的打扰许半生。

老莫既然走了，蒋怡也就敲响了包间的门。

“来了很久了？”许半生温柔的问道，轻轻的抓起蒋怡的手，放在自己的掌心之中缓缓的摩挲着。

蒋怡关上门，悄声道：“也没有太久，见你跟那位老先生说话，就没打扰你们。正好吃了个早饭，也刚吃完。”

许半生点点头，牵着蒋怡的手带着她走到露台上，看着依旧飘渺于烟雨之中的湖景，说道：“心里多了很多事，怕是要好好理一理。”这话一方面是告诉蒋怡他有很多事情要思考，另一方面也是在告诉蒋怡，这些事暂时还不能对她说。

许半生不说，蒋怡就不会问，她仰起头，轻轻的亲吻着许半生的下巴。

下巴处，已经有些短短的胡茬，蒋怡却丝毫不介意。

许半生低下头，含住了蒋怡柔软的双唇，双唇之上仿佛有着丝丝的甜意，味道很好的样子。

……

不知不觉，雨停了，时间竟然也到了该吃中饭的时候。

许半生说：“刚才那个老人，他有一双儿女，你看着安排人提携一下。”

蒋怡没问原因，点点头答应下来。
