Chapter 36: Self-defeating

During the meal, I was still a little nervous, and my thoughts had drifted to the clouds. So much so that in the face of my favorite shiitake mushroom beef bun, it tastes like chewing wax.

The big one ate with relish on the side, and from time to time he and Xiao Zhong discussed what stuffed buns were delicious. I symbolically stuffed something into my mouth, then picked up a bowl of porridge and drank it silently.

"Big head, what's wrong? Look at your melancholy face. Xiao Zhong inadvertently glanced at me and asked with a concerned expression.

The big one also raised his head to look at me, I shook my head slightly, and said, "The sage said: food is silent, sleep is silent." Don't you two know?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the big man's reprimand came: "The saint is a fart, don't pretend, you are not qualified to say this at all, when have you done it? Every time you say something in your sleep, the labor and management are startled." What the hell is going on, say it and let the brothers help you think of a way, the three stinkers are still Zhuge Liang, not to mention that the three of us are Zhuge Liang. "

Xiao Zhong couldn't help but laugh a little when he heard it, and said: "Three Zhuge Liang still forget it, at least you don't like it." "

I nodded in agreement, but the big one narrowed his eyes, and I could see a cold light bursting out of the crack, and asked, "Xiao Zhong, are the buns delicious?"

"It's delicious. "

"Then why can't I stop you?"

"Yes, you two talk, I don't talk. Xiao Zhong hurriedly shut up, completely succumbing to the obscenity of the big one, but his eyes would still glance at me from time to time.

The big one took a sip of porridge and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

I was sincerely happy to see the concerned expressions of the two of them, but I still don't know where my inexplicable troubles are coming from, and my head hurts when I think about what has happened recently. put the bowl down, took out a tissue, wiped his mouth lightly, and said: "What else can it be, worry, Lao Liu personally arranged it, which means that I have to live under his nose for a week." "

Xiao Zhonghu looked at me suspiciously, and then picked up the bowl and drank porridge. The big man was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Lao Liu is actually quite good, but he is a little stricter, and we can rest assured that he is staring at you." "

After a long time, I pretended to be relaxed and said, "I figured it out, what a big deal." Eat fast and go out for a day today. "

"Play a fart, go back to drawing when you're done, I'll stare at you. "The big one decisively rejected me.

"Do you want to do that? I'm going to treat you to breakfast too. I wanted to cry without tears.

The big man said expressionlessly: "This is compensation for our stay up with you last night." "

I subconsciously looked around, found that there was no "weapon" to take advantage of, and said with a glare: "Are you embarrassed to say last night? Who accompanied whom last night, you guys ate special food, and Xiao Zhong came back and poured it for me...... As soon as you cover Coke, you will be angry when you think of labor and management. "The more I think about it, the more angry I become, these guys didn't do anything last night.

"Buzz...... I frowned and looked at the big one, and for some reason, I always had a natural aversion to this kind of sound.

The big man spread his hands, indicating that it was not his mobile phone, and the eyes of the two of us converged on Xiao Zhong again, Xiao Zhong seemed to be in a daze just now, and there was no reaction for a while.

"Xiao Zhong, your phone. The big one reminded.

"Ahh Seeing his reaction, I was a little curious and couldn't help asking, "Whose phone is it?"

"I guess I made a mistake, an unfamiliar number. Xiao Zhong replied perfunctorily.

Seeing that he didn't want to say, I didn't force it anymore, looked back at the big one, and found that he was also looking at Xiao Zhong, but the expression on his face was a hint of doubt.

......

"Big head, big man, you two go back first, my parents are here, I'll pick you up at the train station." As soon as he came out of the store, Xiao Zhong said in a hurry.

"Ah, uncle and aunt are here, do you want to help?" asked the big one, turning to him.

"No need, I'll do it, you go back and stare at the big head and draw a picture, the fat man can't be trusted." As soon as Xiao Zhong finished speaking, the person was already walking towards the bus stop.

"Stay safe, call whenever you need to. I shouted at him.

"Hey~~"

......

The older one and I were wandering leisurely along the school's boulevard, where the sun was the most comfortable, but it was still a bit unbearable to shine directly on the skin if there was no shelter. Close your eyes and enjoy the breath of nature, after all... There really aren't many opportunities like that.

Thinking of this, that inexplicable sadness permeated my heart again, forget it, I don't want to do it anymore.

"Big head, do you think that Xiao Zhong's reaction just now is a little wrong. "

"What's the use of feeling wrong, it's not that you don't know his character, and you won't say anything you don't want to say, but it will affect our relationship. I replied with a light sigh.

The big one nodded lightly and said, "Since the last time Yang Yun happened, I feel that Xiao Zhong is not the same as before. "

"Didn't he just say that his parents were here, maybe I'm embarrassed to trouble us. "I try to come up with a reason that convinces me.

The big one thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It's the same." He really doesn't like to trouble people. "

Recalling the recent changes in the Xiao Zhong, I also nodded in agreement, although the previous Xiao Zhong was mostly silent, but the expression always gave people a very tranquil feeling, but the recent Xiao Zhong will always stay alone somewhere in a daze, and occasionally show an incomprehensible expression.

Remembering what he promised his mother in the morning, he said to the eldest one: "You go back first, I'll call my dad." "

"Well, remember to come back and draw. "He was gone, and he didn't forget to look back and remind me.

I couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "Get out, I'll be back after the call." "

......

trotted to sit on the bench under the tree, began to look for the call record with my father in the mobile phone, slid the screen for a long time, and finally found the number in the impression and the note next to it (Lao Yun), looked at the date, but it was three months ago.

Cough lightly twice to keep your throat in tip-top condition for the next call.

The phone was quickly connected, and Dad's familiar voice came from the other end: "Hey, who's who?"

I felt the corners of my mouth twitching, could it be that he couldn't even recognize my number......?

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, and I didn't say anything more, just waited quietly. After a long time, a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Oh~~ Wuxiu, what's the matter with the call?" I clearly felt that he was pretending to be calm, and the joy hidden in it had betrayed his mood at the moment.

I couldn't help but want to tease the unsmiling father, so I replied with a smile: "I heard my mother say that you miss me, and you are embarrassed to call me, so I called you." "

I don't know what the look on my dad on the other end of the line was when he heard that, because I'd never seen him embarrassed.

"You kid, your mother has never been accurate in speaking, why do you believe her. "

I tried to imagine what my father would look like at this time, and shook my head with some regret, I really couldn't imagine the embarrassed appearance of the serious father. He said, "Hey, don't talk about this, my mother said that you have been very busy with work recently, so you should pay attention to rest." "

"Alas, your mother always likes to talk with a bit of exaggeration, what about you, are you busy during this time?"

"It's not busy, it's just drawing pictures every day. "

"That's good, take care of yourself when you're out and about. "

"Well, don't worry. "

"Okay, I'm here, hang up first. Before I could reply, the sound of hanging up came over. He also said that he was not busy, and he couldn't even spend a leisurely weekend. Every time I talk to my dad on the phone, I don't seem to have much to talk about, and after the routine greeting, I fall silent.

Later, my dad may have noticed this problem too, and every time he would find an excuse to quickly hang up the phone after greeting, I would stare at the hung up interface for a long time.

Today, too, I feel like my head is in chaos, I can't see the past clearly, and I can't see the future.

......

A refreshing fragrance came into my nostrils, and then I couldn't see anything, what blinded my eyes?

"Guess who I am?"

I closed my eyes, and the cold touch kept stirring my hot heart, although the voice deliberately changed a little, but the familiar fragrance made me immediately judge who it was.

But thinking that there was finally something to relieve her boredom, I didn't plan to demolish her immediately. So he asked tentatively, "Lin Yiyi?"

"No! guess again!" the voice sounded a little smug, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl a little.

In order to make her happier, let's guess a few more, and said, "That's ...... Li Yue?"

"No, no, guess!"

I vaguely seemed to feel a trace of resentment from it, maybe Nie Xinyan was resistant to the name Li Yue, so I guessed again: "It can't be Lin Yao, right?"

Unexpectedly, this time she didn't let me guess again, but asked me, "Who is Lin Yao?"

"Lin Yao is...... Oh, no, didn't I guess? Why did you ask me?"

"You tell me who Lin Yao is first?"

Seeing that she didn't mean to relax in the slightest, I narrated to her the process of my acquaintance with Lin Yao, and after listening, there was a silence, and the hands that covered my eyes were also lowered.

The first picture I saw when I opened my eyes was Nie Xinyan's somewhat red eyes, and the crystals at the corners of her eyes were so dazzling.

"You... Even Li Yue's best friend can think of me, but can't he just think of me?" her voice was a little choked.

I looked at her in amazement, and suddenly realized that there might be some kind of deviation in our thinking, and that my self-indulgence was self-defeating.

I couldn't figure out how to explain it to her for a while, and when I tried to open my mouth to speak, all I could see was her back......
