Chapter 167: Speechless
"Juanzi. Before Zheng Xinguang walked in the door, the voice had already entered the house.
I was stunned for a moment, I didn't go to get the photo, and I didn't respond to Zheng Xinguang, my hand was still on my schoolbag.
Zheng Xinguang squinted when he saw that I was rummaging through his schoolbag, walked into the room, and saw the photo that fell under the table at a glance.
That picture of Uncle Zheng molesting me.
I was dumbfounded, and hurriedly lowered my head like a child who had made a mistake.
Faintly, I felt that the atmosphere between us was a little awkward.
I don't know where Zheng Xinguang got that picture from, but as soon as I think of him seeing the picture in the photo, I feel a burst of heat and shame.
This picture is like a noose, and it kills me.
Zheng Xinguang didn't speak, and I didn't dare to speak, so I lowered my head and clenched my hand.
At this time, I felt Zheng Xinguang stretch out a hand and rub my head, and he said, "Hungry, I'll take you to eat something delicious." ”
When I heard this, I raised my head and was a little stunned, but Zheng Xinguang waved at me and walked out of the room first.
I subconsciously followed, reacted and looked back at the bottom of the table, to find that the picture was gone.
I didn't know what to do.
Sitting in Zheng Xinguang's car, Zheng Xinguang did not mention what happened just now, but talked about the interesting anecdotes he encountered when he was looking for a job during the day.
"When I was looking for a job today, you said it was funny or not, and when I saw that my work contract was about to be signed, the boss remembered to ask me my age, and then it was just blown. But it doesn't matter, this job wasn't my intention in the first place. When I was leaving, I heard the staff of the company chatting that the food in this restaurant was delicious, so I thought I'd take you to try it......"
I listened absentmindedly, still saddened by what had just happened.
The thing this picture is associated with a deep wound in my heart, I don't know how to heal it, and it has taken all my strength just to keep it from bleeding.
Zheng Xinguang and I have never talked about this issue head-on, one is probably that there are too many things going on and we don't know where to start, and the other is that neither he nor I have the courage to tear the biggest wound in our relationship.
At this time, the decoration of the store that Zheng Xinguang brought me to was very beautiful, and there were many customers, Zheng Xinguang should have made a reservation when he came, so we didn't wait much to come to a private room.
The meals came up one after another, and Zheng Xinguang still didn't talk about what happened just now, but kept taking care of me.
He basically ordered the dishes I liked, helped me with the soup, and urged me when I didn't move the chopsticks.
When I think about what happened to me and Uncle Zheng, I can't swallow when I think of that photo.
I barely picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites of food, and after chewing a few bites, I couldn't eat.
The dishes that Zheng Xinguang gave me at this time were already piled high in the bowl, but I only moved a few chopsticks.
When I thought of such an unbearable me, but I was taken care of by Zheng Xinguang meticulously, I felt a little dazed when I felt inferior.
"Juanzi, Juanzi?"
Zheng Xinguang called me a few times with some concern, I came back to my senses, looked at Zheng Xinguang, and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying.
Zheng Xinguang's expression was stunned, and then I didn't look at his expression anymore, and lowered my head to pull the rice.
The scene was a little embarrassing for a while, and Zheng Xinguang seemed to finally realize how much damage had been caused to me by what happened just now, and he also fell silent.
Neither of us spoke again, and ate quietly as if it were a social gathering.
Obviously, Zheng Xinguang wanted to bring me to eat delicious food at the beginning, and I should be happy about it, but at this time I was in a little depressed.
The matter of the photo made me unable to raise my head in front of Zheng Xinguang.
At this moment, a person suddenly came to us, and her voice carried a bit of suppressed anger: "Xinguang, why did you beat Lao Zheng to the hospital without knowing the severity of your actions?"
I trembled in my heart, looked up in some surprise, and was a little unhappy to see Xu Nuan's eyes looking at me.
Xu Nuan looked very angry, Zheng Xinguang finally opened his mouth at this time, glanced at me, and said, "You don't want to go to the toilet?"
He also saw Xu Nuan's anger and wanted to let me leave under the pretext of an excuse.
I hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Before I went far, I heard Xu Nuan say: "Xinguang, did you do this for Li Juan, I told you a long time ago......"
Zheng Xinguang has been defending me in front of my aunt, he said: "Auntie, you don't know what he wants to do to Juanzi, it's not about Juanzi, I saw it when I saw it, so I did it......"
When I heard that, my expression darkened.
Even though things have developed like this now, Zheng Xinguang still wants to help me speak for the first time and defend me in front of the people closest to him.
But how can I be worthy of Zheng Xinguang's liking like this?
I stood in the bathroom mirror, scrutinizing my face, as if trying to see what was there to like.
It's not particularly pretty, but it's passable.
I know that when I laugh, my face becomes extraordinarily bright.
Unconsciously pulled the corners of his mouth, and then a voice suddenly sounded in his head.
"I smile so happily every day, I just want to seduce people at first glance, and I am cheap. Hooking up every day, how could Zheng Xinguang fall in love with this kind of person?"
I was in a trance, and then realized that it was Chen Yueru's voice.
At this time, I even felt that it was not unreasonable for her to say this.
At this moment, Xu Nuan walked in.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I heard her whisper: "Li Juan, you can also see how Xinguang treats you, he has always been so stubborn, and I can't do anything about him."
"It's just that your temperament is so unresolute now, it will make Xinguang suffer a lot. I was poisoned by alcohol before, and now I'm running around for a living, but in fact, boys suffer a little, and I don't think it's anything. But I didn't want him to be sad, because the damage was far worse than the physical suffering.
"How these injuries were caused, Auntie won't say much. This meal, even if my aunt invites you and Xinguang, your future life will not be easy. ”
Xu Nuan's words were very gentle, but they conveyed her dissatisfaction with me.
When I heard this, my heart was mixed for a while.
Then Xu Nuan paid the money and left.
I returned to the box and found Zheng Xinguang sitting there alone, holding a cigarette in his hand, the fireworks were clearly extinguished, and I suddenly saw a gloom in him.
When he saw me coming, he snuffed out his cigarette, exhaled a long puff of smoke, and said, "Keep eating." ”
When I went back that night, he and I didn't eat much, and after washing, we lay down in bed together.
It's just that at this time, I looked at him and was a little speechless.
