Chapter 140: Why I Should Like You
His sudden approach made Song Yu's body stiffen, her brain was already dazed, and now she was even more stiff and didn't dare to move.
Although she was dazed, Tang Xu's 'like' made her frightened. Horror is followed by sadness. After a long time, she raised her head and looked at Tang Xu and said, "Why should I like you?"
Her mind was supported by the only bit of clarity, but her gaze at Tang Xu was becoming more and more confused and blurred. The sudden pain spread along her limbs, her eyes were misty, and she lowered her head to look at the long shadows on the ground stretched by the light of the street lamp.
Her figure was emaciated, small and helpless like a young beast. Tang Xu originally just teased him, but he didn't expect the atmosphere to become wrong.
He straightened up, was silent for a while, and teased with some sneering, "You really like me?"
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Song Yu's stomach was so uncomfortable that he didn't answer his words, he got up from the stone bench and staggered inside.
Tang Xu stood in place, took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked.
The security guard not far away saw that Song Yu had left, and he was still standing, and he was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but look in the direction he was from time to time.
Tang Xu stood in place and finished smoking a cigarette, snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it in the trash can before walking inside.
Song Yu's feet were like stepping on clouds, and he walked very slowly. When Tang Xu passed, she had just pressed the elevator and didn't even lift her eyelids when she heard footsteps.
There was no one left, and the elevator came down quickly. Hearing the sound of Ding Dong, Song Yucai reopened his eyes and stumbled into the elevator.
After entering, she was about to reach out to press the floor, but Tang Xu pressed the floor first. He was rarely silent and didn't speak, and the elevator was extremely quiet.
When the elevator arrived at the floor, he saw Song Yu still leaning with his eyes closed. Tang Xu glanced sideways at her and said, "It's here." ”
Song Yu only opened his eyes and walked outside.
She didn't open the door either, and when she arrived, she leaned against the wall and waited for Tang Xu to open the door. Her body was hot, her feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, she just wanted to find a place to fall down and sleep wildly.
When the door opened, as soon as Tang Xu entered the house, she also cheered up and followed into the house. She didn't pay attention to her feet, and when she was about to enter the house, she tripped and threw herself forward.
I thought I would have a close contact with the ground, but I didn't. When she was about to fall, a hand reached out and pulled her.
Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief after standing firmly, opened his hand and continued to staggered inside. She didn't have the strength to take a shower anymore, and instead of going back to the bedroom, she went straight back to the guest room and fell heavily on the bed.
I don't know if it's because of the alcohol or what, she's very hot. I slept until more than three o'clock in the morning and was woken up by the heat. My stomach was so uncomfortable that my head ached as if it was about to explode. She couldn't help but let out a low moan.
She couldn't lie down for a minute, so she turned on the light and went straight to the bathroom to shower.
The hot water eased to a certain extent, and she stood and washed for a long time before putting on her clothes. Her stomach was so uncomfortable that she didn't have much to eat at home, so she took out milk from the refrigerator and drank it hot.
After doing all this, she went back to her room, and she couldn't sleep at all while lying in bed. She reached out and pressed her head, which was still faintly painful like a pinprick, and after a while she got up from the bed, clasped her hands on her knees and sat at the head of the bed.
She often forgets things after drinking, but she doesn't know why the scene of last night is clearly stuck in her mind.
Tang Xu's handsome and somewhat frivolous face appeared in her mind, and she closed her eyes.
She was dazed, just sitting in the dark. She was obviously disgusted with him, when did she fall in love with him?
probably liked it when he helped deal with the affairs of the Song family again and again. Although she was unusually strong after her father left, there was no girl who did not expect a hero to fall from the sky on a white horse and save herself from the depths of misery.
Tang Xu was not the hero who rode a white horse, but he helped her a lot, there is no doubt about it.
But why did she like him? Is it because he has helped her so much?
Song Yu's mind was dazed, and he looked up at the ceiling. She knew very well from the beginning that she and Tang Xu were not suitable, but how could she like him?
The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt, and she closed her eyes tightly and leaned against the head of the bed. Restrain yourself from thinking about anything.
The more you don't allow yourself to think about it, the more things come to mind. She unconsciously remembered Kong Fanlai again. She reached out and pressed her head tightly, and lay back on the bed and closed her eyes.
Song Yu didn't fall asleep again that night, and it was like that until dawn. I don't know if I want to go to the Tang family's old house today, although she has no energy, she still gets up and washes.
With an upset stomach, she went to the kitchen to boil millet porridge. Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, she wanted to call Yu Manzhu, but after hesitating for a long time, she finally didn't move. Even if she made a phone call, she would not come down the mountain for the New Year. Only when the time comes, I will call Master Huiqing and ask.
Time flies so fast, more than a year has passed so quickly. Thinking back to the past is like a dream. There were so many scenes that she had imagined and had never appeared before.
She was in a daze in the kitchen, and she didn't come to her senses until the millet porridge was boiling over.
There were frozen buns in the refrigerator, and she stirred the millet porridge and took out the buns and steamed them. She hadn't made breakfast at home in a while.
Tang Xu didn't get up until her breakfast was ready, and Song Yu tried her best to act as if nothing had happened, but she didn't remember last night's events at all.
Tang Xu was naturally casual, glanced at the simple breakfast and did not speak. Take a seat at the table.
He got up early, Song Yu thought that he was going to go to the Tang family's old mansion after breakfast, but he didn't. After she finished cleaning up the table, Tang Xu said, "Look at what you want to buy, go out today to prepare New Year's goods." ”
Their New Year must be spent in the Tang family's old house, and they don't need to prepare any New Year's goods. And he has always cared about these things, and he doesn't know how to manage it this year.
He said that he wanted to prepare New Year's goods, and Song Yu didn't ask anything, and went out with him after packing up.
The supermarket for the Chinese New Year is always crowded and crowded. Song Yu didn't care about Tang Xu, pushed a shopping cart and entered the supermarket.
Tang Xu prepared two copies of New Year's goods, and he was no longer the shopkeeper, holding things while watching. Obviously, he was going to the old mansion for the New Year, and he took a lot of vegetables and meat.
Purchasing New Year's goods is hard work, and Song Yu sweated all over after purchasing. Pushing shopping carts lined up in front of the long checkout counters.
When he finally paid the money and went out, Tang Xu was still a gentleman and carried the heavy things in his hands. Because of the extra traffic jam, he didn't drive, only went out to take a taxi.
He bought two copies of New Year's goods, and Song Yu thought they were going to be sent to the Tang family's old house, but they weren't. One of them turned out to be sent up the mountain. And it was he who personally sent it.
He wanted to go over, and Song Yu, his biological daughter, naturally couldn't help but go, so he followed him downstairs without even taking a break.
After getting in the car, he said: "I called my mother-in-law, she didn't want to go down the mountain to celebrate the New Year, and now I will go up the mountain to accompany her old man for the New Year in advance." ”
He has always been thoughtful in these matters, and Song Yu didn't know what to say without saying a word.
He had called Yu Manzhu in advance, but Yu Manzhu did not go out. It was waiting for them in the small courtyard.
She treats Tang Xu gently and gently, but treats Song Yu's daughter coldly. Knowing that he had to eat here, Song Yu didn't sit down, and went directly to the kitchen to start preparing the meal.
Without Mama Zhang, Yu Manzhu was alone and almost never used the small kitchen, but the kitchen was cleaned up, and she didn't need to clean it up.
Time and ingredients are limited, and this early Chinese New Year's Eve meal is much simpler and shabby than the Tang family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
With Tang Xu at this meal, he will naturally not be lonely, he will do what he likes, and most of the topics he talks about with Yu Manzhu are about the mountains.
He is quite good at talking, and Yu Manzhu's face will show a smile from time to time. This is the treatment that Song Yu does not have.
Because of eating, it was already slowly getting dark when the two of them went down the mountain. The wind in the mountains was whining, and it was a little cold.
Tang Xu was not in a hurry at all, and walked slowly. Instead, Song Yu tightened his clothes, put on his hat, and walked briskly in front of him.
There has been almost no communication between the two since last night, Tang Xu didn't know what he was thinking, although he walked slowly, he kept a distance not far from Song Yu. From time to time, I looked at her thin and thin back.
It was still early when I got back to my new house, it was only eight o'clock. Song Yu received a call from Song Mian when she came out of washing, and he called her to ask when she had time, and the family was ready to have a reunion dinner together.
Song Ting was on their side, and Song Yu had to get over everything, but she couldn't spare time to go to the Tang family's old mansion. said that it should be the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Song Mian naturally knew her difficulties, so let her have a good New Year, Song Ting was very good at home. As long as everyone is there, when it is the New Year, it will be enough to have a reunion dinner at that time.
Song Mian is much more mature and stable than before.
Song Yu responded well, and originally wanted to thank him. But knowing that this was the identity, he swallowed it back. asked Song Mian to ask Song Ting what birthday gift he wanted, and she bought it for him and brought it to him.
Song Mian nodded in response, and called her again after asking. Song Ting is much more sensible than children of the same age, and has never asked for toys or anything like that, and he will play whatever he buys. It's not a picky eater like other children, and it's sad just to look at it.
This year's Chinese New Year was a lot more lively because of Grandma Tang's presence, although it was icy and snowy, and as soon as I entered the yard, I heard laughter from the living room.
Tang Xu and Song Yu came relatively late, and Tang Xu's uncles, cousins, and cousins all came over with their children. Although Tang continued to treat Song Ting gently, he didn't like children very much, and rubbed his forehead as soon as he got out of the car.
The living room was naturally lively, and everyone gathered together to accompany the old lady. Seeing that Tang Xu came back, he must punish himself for a few glasses at the party, saying that he was late.
Song Yu was the same as before, and when he came over, he went to the kitchen to help. Although there are many people in the kitchen, they are orderly, and everything that should be ready has been prepared, and she does not need to do anything. Because there were other cousins and cousins to help, in the end, her job became to help Wen Yi make snacks.
Everyone came early, and Aunt Tang was the latest. However, no one from the elders or juniors said anything. She is also very generous, and when she came over, she gave all the juniors a New Year's red envelope first, which made everyone coax.
The atmosphere of this Chinese New Year's Eve meal was much more relaxed than last year, and Song Yu and Tang Xu were facing the same topic---- which was born. The old lady said vigorously that the two had been married for more than a year and that it was time to have children. Of course, while urging Song Yu and Tang Xu, he did not forget to urge Wen Yi and Tang Yao. said that the old mansion was too deserted, and she still wanted a few more great-grandsons Chenghuan to knees.
It has probably been urged many times, and the expression on Tang Yao's face has not changed at all, and he should be gentle. The old lady glared at him, and was about to say something when Aunt Tang interrupted her. She opened her mouth and said, "Mom, they will take care of their young people's affairs by themselves, so you don't care." ”
Grandma Tang listened to this little daughter's words the most in this family, and said with a smile: "Okay, I don't care, I don't care." ”
This topic was brought over, and Wen Wen and Song Yu were obviously relieved.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very lively, and as last year, after the meal, a group of people played cards downstairs.
Song Yu and Wen Yi did not participate, and went upstairs to the upstairs study to hide in Qingjing.
Not long after the two entered the study, Aunt Tang came over, she took coffee and small biscuits, and after she came in and sat down, she asked, "What are you talking about?"
She was much gentler now than when she was downstairs, smiled warmly, and said, "I didn't talk about anything, just talk about trivial matters." ”
She and Song Yu are not good at words, and they rarely talk about topics.
Aunt Tang nodded, glanced at the icy outside, and sighed: "It's much colder in China than abroad." Last year, the old lady and I went out to play. ”
Wen Yi smiled and talked to her about foreign affairs.
Aunt Tang is very good at words, and she speaks very funny, and Song Yu listened to the two chatting with relish.
The three of them sat upstairs until ten o'clock, and then went downstairs. Song Yu took the time to call Song Mian and learned that Song Ting had not slept and wished him a happy new year.
She called from the window, and when she hung up the phone, she saw Xue Zhaoying coming up from downstairs. The smile on her face has never dropped today, and her luck at the card table is also very good, and she has won a red glow.
At this time, seeing Song Yu, he was naturally full of smiles, and said, "Is my brother and sister calling Aunt Song? She must be very lonely alone in the mountains for the New Year, right?"
She has a look of pity, and she doesn't forget to poke people in the sore spots when she speaks.
The smile on Song Yu's face faded, and he said, "Thank you for your concern." ”
Xue Zhaoying naturally didn't have any interest in it, and said: "We are concubines, we are a family, shouldn't you care more about your younger siblings?"
She paused when she said this, and then said, "My younger brother and sister have been okay with my third brother recently?
She's very lenient in her business. But he still made a look of concern on his face.
Song was disgusted with her like this, but she couldn't show it on her face, smiled faintly, and said, "The second sister-in-law is very concerned about my life. ”
Her tone was understated, Xue Zhaoying was not embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "Didn't I also listen to what others said? ”
She completely looked like she was on Song Yu's side.
The smile on Song Yu's face was still faint, and he said, "Then I have to thank my second sister-in-law." She looked at the time and said, "If the second sister-in-law is okay, I'll go down first." ”
She said that she didn't look at Xue Zhaoying anymore and walked downstairs directly.
It was so hot downstairs that no one noticed her.
She didn't join in the fun, but sat down at the small table by the window. As soon as she sat down, Tang Lan came over with two cups of tea, handed one to Song Yuhou and sat down, and asked, "What did your second sister-in-law say to you just now?"
She wasn't upstairs at that time, and she didn't know how she knew Xue Zhaoying was talking to her. Song Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I didn't say anything." ”
Tang Lan naturally didn't believe what Xue Zhaoying didn't say, and said lightly: "Don't take what she said to heart." After a slight pause, she showed a bit of self-deprecation on her face, and said: "Although the people in this old mansion are broken bones and tendons, they are connected by the so-called blood relationship. But everyone has their own plans and thoughts, and no one is a fuel-efficient lamp. ”
The amount of information contained in her words was huge, and Song Yu couldn't help but be stunned. Tang Lan didn't say anything more when he said this, and there was a suspicious sadness in his eyes.
Song Yu was silent and didn't speak, and the two sat quietly.
After four or five minutes, Tang Lan came back to his senses, looked at Song Yu, and asked, "How is your mother on the mountain?" If there is anything, tell me, don't be polite to me. ”
Song Yu's face showed a wry smile, where is it so easy to explain the matter between her and Yu Manzhu. She didn't tell Tang Lan about her plans, so she nodded in response.
Tang Lan didn't speak anymore, and after a while, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, his eyes swept over the bustle of the living room, and suddenly said lightly: "The Tang family has not been a businessman for several generations, and all the children of the Tang family follow the path of their fathers. Except for the daughter. ”
I don't know how she talked nonsense about this, Song Yu was stunned. I don't know what she's trying to say.
Since all the children of the Tang family are following the road paved by their fathers, why did Tang Xu engage in business?
Tang Lan's tone was tinged with sadness, and Song Yu didn't ask anything in the end, waiting for her next words in silence.
