Chapter 31: Terrible Thunder
Shu Xin didn't leave in a hurry after eating, but kept staring at the other side until the three people walked out of the restaurant, Shu Xin got up and quietly followed behind them, watching them simply visit a few stores and didn't really buy anything, and then went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and fresh food, and finally returned home.
Shu Xin followed their car to an old community, watching the three people park the car and carry things home, until they disappeared from view, Shu Xin got out of the car and looked at the surrounding scene, this is an old community with a history of several decades, in and out of the elderly are the majority, there are few motor vehicles, just find a place to park, not as hard as parking in the new community.
There were a few elderly people chatting on the street to pass the time, Shu Xin walked over and asked, "Grandma, do you know that Zhuang Yuan lives here?"
"Zhuang Yuan?"
"Oh, I know, I know, the house in Building No. 5 is young, I heard that it can make a lot of money, but I don't know why I still live here, his wife doesn't like to talk, and she won't say anything when she asks her. ”
"Yes, yes, but people are still quite enthusiastic. By the way, who are you?"
"Oh, I'm his distant niece, and his cousin is my uncle. It's just that I just recently returned to China, so I don't know if they still live here?"
"Still living here, why don't I take you to his house?"
"Oh, I don't need it today, it's not good to come to the door without a gift, okay, thank you, then I know, I'll bring a gift to visit them another day." ”
Shu Xin inquired about Zhuang Yuan's residence, returned to the car and looked at the corner where the three of them had disappeared.
Zhuang Yuan, no wonder Shu Xin felt so familiar, and she was only able to confirm it when she saw Zhuang Tian again. He was a friend of her father and a cousin of her uncle, and although he had a completely different appearance from Zhuang Tian, he had the indispensable genes that belonged to that family, a tall hooked nose. This is the reason why Shu Xin felt familiar from the first time she saw him.
"Help me check this person Zhuang Yuan, Zhuang Tian's cousin. Shu Xin sent a message to the private investigator they had been in contact with.
Shu Xin looked back at this old community, in her memory, Zhuang Yuan was a person who did not smile, as if he did not have many friends except for her father Shu Jinchen, his father liked to call him to eat at home, he would only eat and drink sullenly, and he would talk very little. It's just that after so many years, his father died, and his good friends were not doing well, and Tang Yin really had the best life, with a career, a family and a social status.
Shu Xin sneered and drove home.
As soon as I opened the door when I got home, I saw Tang Zizhao sitting on the sofa alone, and the TV was not turned on, just sitting quietly.
"Why did you come back so early, did you really go on a date?"
Tang Zizhao turned around and put one arm on the back of the sofa, his whole body facing her, as if he was ready to interrogate at any time.
"You've been in a nursing home all day?"
Shu Xin changed her shoes and walked to her room, opened the door and turned half around and said, "I went to the commercial center in the afternoon, and the food on the top floor is good, so I recommend it to you for a date." ”
After finishing speaking, he entered the house and closed the door, just blocking the pillow thrown by Tang Zizhao.
Shu Xin patted her chest, changed into home clothes, and then leaned on the crack of the door to check Tang Zizhao's state, and saw that there was no one in the living room before she dared to come out.
As soon as Shu Xin sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, Tang Zizhao walked out of the kitchen with water, sat next to Shu Xin with a swagger, and watched TV with her without saying anything.
After watching an episode of the documentary, Shu Xin said sincerely, "The quality of the current documentary is really good." ”
Suddenly, a thunderstorm outside frightened Shu Xin for a moment, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Why are there so many thunderstorms this year?"
Tang Zizhao glanced at her, stretched out his arm and hugged her in his arms, Shu Xin did not resist, at this time she really felt that only in Tang Zizhao's arms would she feel at ease.
"Shu Xin, I remember that when you first lived in my house, you were not afraid of thunder, nor were you afraid of the dark, and you were not afraid of dying and teasing me with Ziyue. ”
"I was really not afraid of anything. ”
"When did you start to be afraid?"
"From the night my grandmother died, or since my dad went to prison, I didn't have a mother in my life, and the only thing that accompanied me every day after school was the nanny, and the nanny had something to do that night, and I was home alone, and then it was dark and thundered, and that was the first time I was afraid of thunder. ”
"Why don't you look for me? I can accompany you. ”
"You still have Ziyue to take care of, and you're still a child, so it's only about your aunt to take care of you. ”
"Shu Xin, I'm sorry, I should have cared about you earlier. ”
Saying that, Tang Zizhao hugged her tightly, Shu Xin sniffed, and wrapped her hands tightly around Tang Zizhao's waist.
"Shu Xin, can you tell me what happened to you in the UK, why do you want to see a psychiatrist?"
Shu Xin buried her face in his arms, and said angrily: "Nothing happened, just ordinary psychological treatment." ”
Tang Zizhao pulled her out of his arms and made her look directly at him, "Shu Xin, to be honest, why did you stay in a psychiatric hospital for three months?"
Shu Xin was suddenly shocked, how could Tang Zizhao know that she had been in a mental hospital, but also, since he knew that she graduated from the University of Birmingham with a double master's degree, it would not be too difficult to know that she had been hospitalized, Ives deliberately did not cover up her history to let her know that she was pinched by him at any time, Shu Xin could only pretend to smirk and say, "How is it possible? Where did you hear about such a ridiculous thing?"
"Shu Xin, I can say it, naturally there is a way I know, I believe that my news will not be wrong, and your general behavior is confirming my news. ”
Shu Xin frowned and stared at him with some displeasure, "You inquired about my news?"
"Shu Xin, I want to know how you have been doing all these years? You refuse to call home, you know how much I like you, how can I not care about your life in the UK. ”
Shu Xin hurriedly stopped his chatter, "First of all, don't say it so nicely, you like me? Why don't I believe it, I like that I can fall in love with someone else so quickly, and go on a date with Tu Su every day." Besides, how I am doing in the UK has nothing to do with you, whether I am doing well or not is in the past, and it doesn't matter if you know it, so please don't mind my business. ”
After speaking, he was about to get up and go back to the room, but was pulled by Tang Zizhao and sat back, Shu Xin turned his head angrily and glared at him, Tang Zizhao touched his nose, "I haven't finished talking yet, don't be in a hurry to go." ”
"Speak quickly!" Shu Xin almost yelled.
"I date Tu Su every day, are you jealous?"
Shu Xin bit her lip and gasped, turned her head to ignore him, "Whoever eats your jealousy, what do you like, it has nothing to do with me." ”
Tang Zizhao looked at her angry little look a little funny, this girl is just hard-mouthed, or she hasn't opened her mind yet, "Okay, you're not jealous, then it's not too much for me to care about you." ”
Shu Xin turned around angrily, "Do you care about me? You just want to spy on my privacy." ”
"I really didn't know that care would be understood in you like this, I see, you just want to tell me that I am self-inflicted, right?"
"Yes, it's ......"
"Click" was another thunderclap, Shu Xin was so frightened that her hairs stood up, but she stiffened up and didn't get any closer to Tang Zizhao, Tang Zizhao looked at her trembling shoulders or was defeated, and stepped forward to hug her tightly, "Yes, I am self-inflicted, who told me to like you so much." I'm afraid I'm going to spend the night, do you want to go to my room to sleep?"
Shu Xin heard this sentence in his arms and pushed him away vigorously, "Don't, you let go of me, I'm not afraid." ”
Tang Zizhao let go of her, Shu Xin was just about to get up, and another thunder frightened her so much that she jumped into Tang Zizhao's arms, Tang Zizhao was amused by her appearance, and Shu Xin's face was red with his laughter.
Tang Zizhao got up and carried her back to the room, put her on his bed, put his hands on her sides, looked at her condescendingly and asked, "Shu Xin, can I kiss you?"
"No, you're my brother, and you can't take advantage of others. ”
Tang Zizhao smiled faintly, kissed her forehead, lay down on her side and hugged her and said, "Okay, I don't take advantage of people's danger, sleep well, I'll accompany you, don't be afraid." ”
Shu Xin knew that this thunder would not be like Tang Zizhao said for a night, and it would pass in a while, but she liked this feeling of being close to Tang Zizhao, and even a little greedy. When Shu Xin looked at the handsome face in front of her, she felt that this was the way they got along.
As soon as Tang Zizhao woke up and opened his eyes, he saw Shu Xin's big eyes staring at him, and he was so excited for a while that he turned over and pressed against her, and kissed her lips without asking for her consent.
Shu Xin glared, this guy always said kiss like this, and treated her as a sister. However, Shu Xin seemed to be beginning to enjoy the feeling of being loved, and she gradually closed her eyes and tried to stick out her little tongue to respond to him. Tang Zizhao was shocked by this realization, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Shu Xin had closed his eyes and was immersed in this kiss, and he also responded to her happily and positively.
Just as the two of them were kissing passionately, Tang Zizhao suddenly jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom as if he were running away. Shu Xin sat up, brushing his lips with his hand, there was still his liquid there, Shu Xin sneered: "I told you to toss around blindly early in the morning." ”
Tang Zizhao slammed his fists against the wall and said to himself in annoyance: "Tang Zizhao, she is your sister, your sister." ”
When he was completely calm and came out of the bathroom, there was no Shu Xin on the bed, and then looked at the closed door opposite, Tang Zizhao laughed self-deprecatingly.
