CHAPTER XXIII
"Uh-huhβ" Her phone still vibrate.
Hibiscus stood at the door and looked at Shen Yue under the steps, with a little anger and impatience between her eyebrows.
In the courtyard, Shen Yue was wearing a black suit and leaning against the co-pilot's door, his hair was slightly curly, and his eyebrows were scattered in front of his forehead, his skin was very white, especially in the sun.
Right now, he was pinching his phone and saying something, and when he looked up and saw Hibiscus swiping his finger up, canceling the send, he watched her head tilt, and pulled the car door to signal her to get into the car.
She was a hundred unwilling, but when she saw the white medicine bottle in Shen Yue's hand, she could only obey, this feeling made her very unhappy, especially Shen Yue's face, I just like the way you can't get used to me and can't kill me.
"Are you in a hurry to get married?" she glanced at him, got into the passenger seat, and fastened his seatbelt.
When Shen Yue heard this, he leaned on the door and approached her, with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth, if he looked at it from a distance, he thought that the two were kissing, "With you?"
"Dream-" Hibiscus raised her eyebrows, she was not afraid of his blazing gaze at all, as long as she put her hand to her side, Shen Yue had already straightened her back.
Shen Yue let out a light "hum" sound dragging his long tail from the tip of his nose, "naughty ......", he closed the door and sat in the driver's seat around the front of the car, buckled his seat belt to start the engine and turned out of the door, "Girls don't come out with knives to threaten people at every turn, this really makes me lose face, no matter how we say that we are colleagues now." β
"It's still you crying and begging me to help you with your psychiatrist. β
Hibiscus turned her face away and stared at the street scene moving backwards outside the window, "Shen Yue." β
"Huh?"
"Have you ever had that momentary thought in your mind that you wanted to cut a person's lips and stitch them up and grow them? She said it lightly, but he listened with horror.
Belch...... Shen Yue held the hand on the steering wheel, and his fingers fluctuated helplessly, "Actually, it's good, so that you can save yourself when you encounter danger." β
"Heh-" Hibiscus chuckled self-deprecatingly, the voice of the old man flashing through her mind, "I can't imagine what it will be like for you to be in danger next time, so I can only make you stronger, strong enough that you can handle anything without me, I'm sorry, Hibiscus...... I ......"
Hibiscus's eyes flickered, the scene in front of her blurred at first, and then focused back on reality, the feeling of staring at the dense colony of ants at the door in an orphanage, and her eyes began to lose focus after a long time of concentration.
All her expressions fell into Shen Yue's eyes, and this time he didn't say anything, just drove quietly.
The car probably drove for more than thirty minutes, through the bustling alleys, and finally stopped outside an old neighborhood, "Get off." β
Hibiscus got out of the car and looked around at the unfamiliar environment and crowd around her, among which the people who gathered under a grapefruit tree to play cards cast their eyes and looked at them, after all, Shen Yue drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom, dressed in a suit and leather shoes.
Xiangwucheng Community, Hibiscus She stared at a few rusted fonts on the gate of the community, here is ...... The community where Xing Sunfei's best friend Qiao Ci lives.
This belongs to the old city block in the south of the city, the cement road is uneven, and there are a few asphalt roads like patches from time to time, of course, the most common means of transportation on the road are battery cars and bicycles, both sides of the road are one after another merchants, although the faΓ§ade is not big, and even the goods and groceries are placed under the eaves aisle, but it is better to be lively.
"What are we doing here?" Hibiscus leaned over to avoid the figures that passed by her, she didn't like the contact of strangers.
"Just walk around. Shen Yue had a relaxed attitude, and seemed to be completely integrated into the hurried and slow life here, "Do you want milk tea?" β
"A cup of strawberry flavored bubble tea. β
Hibiscus stared at the glass box where the fried chicken was placed, the stainless steel basin was separated by a leaky net, and there were drops of white and yellow oil solidified at the bottom, the orange headlights shone directly on the continuous heat preservation, and a plastic cup was filled with water in the corner of the box to prevent the temperature in the glass box from being too high and dry and causing a fire.
The price list of milk tea has been oxidized and faded, and there are various fruit-flavored bubble tea listed on it, and the price seems to have traveled back to three yuan a long time ago, but at that time, three yuan a cup of bubble milk tea was a luxury that she had been waiting for for most of the month.
Hibiscus swallowed a mouthful of saliva moistening her parched throat, and she watched the pink liquid vibrate in the juicer, "Uh-huh", "Cup...... Apple-flavored. β
Malic acid, the powder used to make her cup of milk tea, is blue-green.
Hibiscus stared at the pattern of "Joyful and Big Big Wolf" on the plastic paper, and inhaled a sip of milk tea mixed with black pearls.
The orphanage took her with her, and the mother-in-law adopted a total of 17 children.
The house they live in is a Western church left over from the last century, and the previous steward was a Christian foreign grandmother, Angelina, who adopted many abandoned children, including the dean's mother.
The dean's mother lost her fertility in a car accident in her early years, and her husband couldn't go back to her mother's house after her divorce, after all, this man was she eloped to Wutong City despite her family's opposition, so she simply jumped into Yijiang and got rid of it.
At that time, Angelina passed by and persuaded her to bring her back to the church to help, so after Angelina fell ill and died, the dean's mother began to take care of them.
The oldest in the orphanage was fourteen-year-old Xiao Ming, then eleven-year-old Li Wei, and ten-year-old Lin Xiao...... And the smallest is the hibiscus that has just learned to walk.
Xiao Ming and their fourteen-year-old junior high school did not finish and began to drop out of school one after another to help relieve the pressure in the orphanage, although the dean's mother was a little guilty, but there was no other way, she alone could not provide for so many children.
At that time, four-year-old Hibiscus lay in bed at night, staring at the pointed window in anticipation of her arrival of fourteen, thinking that one day she would take good care of her younger siblings in the same way.
As everyone knows, Xiao Ming and what they think is that hibiscus can make up for the fourteen-year-old, fifteen-year-old, sixteen-year-old they have not experienced......
From high school to college, the life they have lived is not full of life pressure, and their hands are sharpened and yellowed.
Hibiscus she sucked the pearls hard, sucked the plastic straw "soo" sound, after getting a pearl and chewed contentedly, these hibiscus she seems to have done, she took good care of her younger siblings, she also went to high school, went to college, and now has a decent career.
"Do you want me to buy you another drink?" Shen Yue asked, walking beside her.
At this time, the sun had broken through the morning clouds and sprinkled light, she turned her head to look at him, the white sunlight pierced his hair, a brown halo, flashing and flashing, she swallowed the last pearl, with a cold attitude, "No, just stay away from me." β
At this time, Shen Yue seemed to be everyone's attention.
"Are you sure?" said Shen Yue with a smirk, and then stopped.
For a moment, the dazzling sun probed the side of her face, she raised her hand to cover it, and only after realizing it did she realize the meaning of Shen Yue's words, so Shen Yue had been blocking the sun for her just now?
She suddenly felt a little uneasy, but she still walked forward with her head down.
"To die is to lose face and to suffer sin. Shen Yue threw his blazer on top of her head, "Say thank you and you'll die." β
No.
Hibiscus pulled the collar of her suit to reveal her white face, her lips pursed into a line, and her stomach seemed to be swollen, "Thank you." β
