Chapter 33: The Devil Is Your Brother
After school in the evening, Zheng Xinguang leaned on his bicycle and waited for me at the school gate, talking and laughing with Lin Keer next to him.
"Here she is. ”
Lin Keer was the first to see me walking out of the school gate, and stood on tiptoe and beckoned to me, "Li Juan, we are here." ”
My feet suddenly weighed a thousand pounds, and I couldn't step over them.
As a younger sister, I should avoid suspicion, right?
Seeing that I didn't move for a long time, Zheng Xinguang rode the bicycle directly to me and pointed to the back seat with his chin, "What are you doing standing there? Get on the bus, I'll take you home." ”
I stole a glance at Lin Ke'er, her long hair was blown up by the breeze, and people couldn't take their eyes off just standing there.
Her face was still the same as usual, always smiling.
"Li Juan?" Zheng Xinguang increased his volume.
I came to my senses and smiled awkwardly, "I ate a little too much this afternoon, I want to go back by myself, I see that you had a good chat with Lin Keer just now, why don't you go and send her home first." ”
"What do you mean?" he looked at me with a sharp look.
Lin Ke'er next to her saw everything in her eyes, waved her hand to refuse my kindness, "Later, the driver at home will come to pick me up." ”
"Get in the car. ”
This time, Zheng Xinguang's tone was commanding.
I knew he was about to get angry, but I didn't understand it, and I was so upset that I was so interested in making room for them? What a strange thing......
However, I don't dare to provoke Zheng Xinguang, who is about to get angry.
I nodded apologetically at Lin Ke'er, sat in the back seat slowly, and before I could sit down, he rode away directly.
"Grinding. "He's still complaining about me.
Because he rode too suddenly, I was not prepared for a while, my body leaned back due to inertia, and in a panic, I had to wrap my arms around his waist and say timidly, "You ride slowly." ”
I heard Zheng Xinguang snort coldly, and said in disgust, "Saying that you are an elm brain really lifts you up." ”
At that time, I didn't appreciate the deep meaning of his words.
Just now my nose hit his back, it hurt a little, and with Lin Keer watching behind me, I didn't dare to hug him like that all the time, I only dared to carefully pull the corner of his clothes.
"Why don't you talk again?"
I casually made an excuse, "Today's endorsement of the back of the voice is a little dry, and my stomach hurts, I don't really want to speak." ”
"Stomach ache?"
What I didn't expect was that my casual prevarication was taken to heart by him, and he suddenly turned around with me, "This shouldn't be the way home, right?
"Buying something. ”
"What can't you go back and buy?"
"Less nonsense, sit well. ”
Zheng Xinguang's patience was still exhausted under my endless questioning, and I shut up and didn't speak.
The bike eventually stopped at the entrance of a commissary.
He asked me to wait for him outside, go in by myself, and when I came out again, there was an extra packet of brown sugar in my hand, which was very uncomfortable and stuffed into my hand, "Didn't you just say that my stomach hurts? ”
"You ......"
His action warmed my heart, and I looked at him with some amusement, and asked knowingly, "Did you just say that you were buying something just to buy me brown sugar?"
"What do you say?" he kicked the ball back for me.
"I said yes. ”
I took the brown sugar he bought for me into my arms, and my originally firm heart was a little shaken at this moment.
At this moment, I saw a girl around the corner.
Her outfit is not much different from the outfit she saw Lin Keer in school today, she is also wearing a white dress and holding a few books in her arms, looking quiet and beautiful.
Obviously, this person is not her.
But my heartbeat still involuntarily became faster, and I didn't dare to look at her more, probably because I was a thief. I always felt that the time I spent with Zheng Xinguang was stolen and stolen from her.
Today I was a little abnormal, Zheng Xinguang also noticed that something was wrong with me, straddled the bicycle and stared at me for a long time.
"What do you think?"
"Is there something on my face?" I was a little uncomfortable by his gaze, and reached out to touch my face.
"Why are you wandering all the time today?"
"No......"
"Do you have anything on your mind?" he asked.
My heart instantly rose to my throat, and I pretended to be calm, "What can I do, it's just that I'm tired of studying." ”
"But you didn't do this before!" Zheng Xinguang didn't believe my excuse this time, and began to test my tone, "Is it that Chen Yueru in your class is targeting you?"
"How do you know her?" I asked, stunned.
"I was handed a love letter when I was in school before, and I saw that I was sweeping the floor with you, so I looked at the name. When he said this, he suddenly changed his words, "Did she bully you?"
I shook my head, "It's not her, no one is bullying me." ”
Afraid that he still wouldn't believe me, I nodded with a serious face, "Really, lying to you is a puppy." ”
"Tell me if someone bullies you, do you know?"
"Got it, brother. ”
I deliberately changed my words, but in fact, I was reminding myself that I must recognize my current identity.
He looked at me in shock, "What do you call me?"
"Brother......" I touched my nose and whispered, "Uncle Zheng didn't always say that you should take care of your sister, then it's not wrong for me to call you brother, why make such a fuss?"
He glanced at me, "The ghost wants to be your brother!"
On the way back, he didn't talk to me anymore, the whole way was quiet, and I always felt that he was angry with me.
After dinner, I went back to my room, and I lay on the table to do my homework.
My eyes would always look at the door that opened to the balcony and wonder if he would come over like he did yesterday.
The result was no.
Our relationship that had eased up was inexplicably back to square one, and I locked the sunflower headstring and the bag of brown sugar he had given me in a drawer.
He will still take me to and from school as Uncle Zheng explained.
But there is always something between us.
One weekend, after dinner, my mom went out to play mahjong with the mahjong friend she had met before.
And Zheng Xinguang basically doesn't stay at home during the day on weekends, and he also goes out to play ball with his classmates, so there are only two people left in the whole family, me and Uncle Zheng.
I washed the dishes and chopsticks and turned on the TV in the living room.
Uncle Zheng also came out of the room when he heard the movement, and looked at me meaningfully, "Are you watching TV?"
"Hmm. I hurriedly got up and nodded, "Do you want to see it?"
"No need, I'll watch with you for a while. ”
While talking, Uncle Zheng also sat down next to me and discussed with me the bloody plot of the TV series.
We talked a lot, and I wasn't as uncomfortable as I was at first.
It's just that Uncle Zheng, who was originally sitting far away from me, unknowingly sat on my side......
