Chapter 44: Familiar Strangers
Ren Zhen stood under the shower, his heart was heavy, as if he had done something bad, afraid and unhappy.
After taking a shower, she came out wrapped in a bath towel, sat by the window and stretched her neck, he should still be on the other side of the lake.
The water was dripping down her hair, and she wiped it with a dry towel and quickly tossed it aside. I don't want to move, my hands don't want to move, my brain doesn't want to move.
She's obviously good at refusing... It's just that they reject the malice of others. The first encounter and the need to reject the kindness of others are even more difficult to solve than a math problem.
Leaning on the edge of the window with his head against the scorching sun, Ren Zhen instantly felt the two heavens of ice and fire from inside and outside the house, obviously his body was very calm, but his brain was hot and panicked.
Jiang He, a person who has seen her ugliness, a person who knows her vices, a person who has gone to the teacher's office to fish for her countless times... One, she only treats him as a brother!
She was not the one who was pulled to him by Yue Lao, he was mistaken, and he brought it himself! Random pulling of the wire will short-circuit! It will explode! She must tell Jiang He how unimaginable the consequences of doing this are!
The woman he wants to have must be as flawless as him!
"River..."Aunt Wu's voice was close at hand.
Jiang He is back! Why did he come back so soon?!
Ren Zhen instantly ejected from the chair, grabbed the bath towel with one hand to prevent it from slipping, and hurriedly pulled the curtains with the other.
As a result, it was a step too late, and the two of them had already walked to the front, but the curtains were only half drawn.
She hurriedly changed her strategy, a very stupid strategy, squatted down, and the whole person was clinging to the wall. She kept rolling her eyes up, and her ears were so bad that it was all her own rough wheezing.
Are you gone? Are you gone? Can you stand... Got up?
Bell...... The landline on the table suddenly rang fatally, Ren Zhen scolded, this life-threatening voice!
She moved to the table in a crawling position almost close to the floor, then picked up the phone and put it to her ear in a trembling position.
"Have you had breakfast?"
Bang! She hung up the phone, Jiang He on the other end looked dazed, is this planning not to even say anything in the future?
This head, let it really hammer the ground.
She hung up the phone by accident! When she climbed over, she didn't pay attention to the bath towel when she took it off, and when she heard the sound of the river, she relaxed, and just wanted to stand up, but she stepped on the bath towel, and the whole person fell on the table, and the phone was so dead that it was detained.
Frightened, she was naked, rubbing her red knees and limping to the bed, "Damn, why did you hang up?!How am I going to explain it to him in a while?!"
As soon as the words fell, the phone rang again.
"No, no, I can't answer it now! I haven't figured out how to explain it yet!", Ren Zhen wrapped himself in the quilt and kept muttering, "I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear..."
After a long time, the house was calm again, and Ren Zhen sneaked out of the quilt to put on his clothes.
"Ren Zhen, I'm Aunt Wu, what do you want to eat at noon?" Aunt Wu asked while standing at the door.
Ren Zhen opened the door and looked to both sides, and Aunt Wu followed her to take a look.
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing Jiang He, Ren Zhen lifted the alarm, turned to Aunt Wu and said with a smile, "It's okay, what do you do, I will eat." β
"Good. Aunt Wu smiled, turned around and walked a few steps, patted her head and turned back, and said, "Look at my brain, Jiang He said to let you go to the idle court, and he is waiting for you there." β
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
After all, he can't hide, Ren Zhen looked at the direction of the idle court, Jiang He is not a man-eating monster, what is there to fear!
β¦β¦
Stay at ease.
Jiang He stood on the edge of the terrace, looking in the direction she was coming from.
After Ren Zhen ran away in the morning, he didn't shout, because he couldn't shout, as if he had lost his voice. When he returned, he saw his bare shoulders shaking slightly from nervousness under the window, and he felt amused and sad.
He didn't blame her, it all happened so suddenly, and it took time for her to get used to it. In short, it's still a long time, and he can wait.
In the distance, Ren Zhen jumped out of the path and walked over, took an umbrella, and shrouded himself tightly.
From the perspective of the river, it looks like a parasol has two legs. He smiled lightly, she was always full of tricks and surprises, just like when she was a child.
Ren Zhen entered the house, took the umbrella and stood by the wall.
Standing at the staircase, she looked up, but did not dare to lift her feet. What the hell is Jiang He looking for herself? She hasn't thought about how to refuse him without hurting her feelings......
"Here, come up. The voice fell softly above her head like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers.
He stood against the light, surrounded by a circle of light.
"Do you want me to go down and bring you up?"
Ren Zhen paused in his heart, you damn gentle! If he hadn't been for his brother, maybe she would have fallen at his feet!
"No, no, no, I'll go up myself. β
After going up, she didn't dare to look directly into Jiang He's eyes.
His eyes were like gentle swirls, and mortals had better not probe lightly.
"Are you hiding from me?" Jiang He leaned against the fence, the more affectionate he was, the more furious she became.
"No... Didn't hide from you. What am I hiding from you for?" Ren Zhen squeezed out an embarrassed smile, walked over to him and held the fence, staring at the sparkling lake downstairs.
Jiang He looked at her reddening side face, and his heart itched. Just as he was about to take off his coat of calm, he reached out in time to ruffle her hair, blocking his desire.
"Brother, what are you doing!?" Ren Zhen grabbed his hair, his hair was still damp, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his face.
The corners of Jiang He's mouth drew an arc, and he smiled, "Tease you." β
"......" has always been her whole river, but she didn't think that Jiang He would learn badly and start to rectify herself. Why can't he be angry yet, because his trick is full of warmth and love.
"So... Brother, what are you looking for me?" Ren Zhen plucked up his courage and thought that he would die early and take care of his life.
"I can't look for you if it's okay?"
ββ¦β¦β
Jiang He smiled, stopped teasing her, and said, "Sister is back." β
"Sister is back!" Ren Zhen was excited, "Why didn't she tell me?"
"She called you, and you didn't answer. β
"When?"
"Just now. β
Ren Zhen's back tightened, it turned out that the second call just now was from his sister.
"Where is my sister now?" Ren Zhen asked.
Jiang He showed embarrassment, "In the B&B outside Yuexin Garden, she said that she would not come back first." β
"How?!"
Jiang He glanced at the direction of his grandfather's bedroom, and Ren Zhen immediately realized that his sister didn't dare to come back.
Jiang Hao used to be a worker in Qingyi, and she on the stage is like what is described in "Luo Shen Fu", "Her hair is like the moon covered by light clouds, and her fluttering is like the snow of the wind." Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow, and when you are forced to observe it, it is scorching like a hibiscus rising out of the waves. β
Ren Zhen was completely bowed under her gently swaying water sleeves after watching her sister's performance once.
Grandpa once regarded Jiang Hao as proud, and looked forward to her one day becoming famous and continuing to glorify the family. But Jiang Hao smashed his pride to pieces for the sake of love, regardless of his grandfather's opposition.
After several quarrels in a row, Jiang Hao chose to follow in his mother's footsteps, ran away from home, and followed his beloved abroad. Grandpa fell ill on the bed because of this, and he couldn't get out of bed for a long time.
Ren Zhen didn't understand why her sister was like this at first, she was usually a kind, gentle, filial and considerate girl. How can a personality change drastically for the sake of a stranger?
Later, as she grew older, she learned that in this world, in addition to the family affection of loving each other, the friendship of treating each other, there is also a kind of unswerving love.
Grandpa hopes that Jiang Hao can live a stable and worry-free life, while Jiang Hao wants to follow his lover to ride the wind and waves. It's just a matter of taking different positions, and it's not about right or wrong.
Now, six years have passed, and my sister has returned, and it's time to let go.
β¦β¦
"Brother, what are you going to do?" Ren Zhen asked on the way back to dinner.
Jiang He was silent for a while, and said, "I haven't thought about it either, you know, grandpa's temper is stubborn." β
During the meal, my grandfather was in a good mood, and he chatted with the two of them with or without a match. Ren Zhen kept echoing, but Jiang He was in no mood to listen to what they were saying.
"Jianghe, what's wrong with you in the past two days? Grandpa took a sip of wine and asked.
Jiang He said "Huh?", saying that he was fine.
Grandpa nodded and continued to eat.
Ren Zhen looked at the two of them back and forth, with Jiang He's personality, he must have planned everything before he spoke, but his sister has already returned, and it is not a matter of living outside all the time, it is better to cut through the mess quickly and have a good time!
Anyway, no matter how good the plan is, grandpa will still get angry when he sees Jiang Hao, so it's better to say it now, see grandpa's reaction, and then make a decision.
"Grandpa, I have something for you. β
Jiang He was stunned, raised his foot and kicked her lightly, but she kicked it back and ignored it.
"What's wrong?" Grandpa put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Ren Zhen.
"Well, my sister called me. β
Grandpa was quite calm at the moment, because he knew that in the past six years, Jiang Hao had kept in touch with his younger brothers and sisters, and occasionally Ren Zhen would mention it.
"Well, good. Grandpa replied as usual.
"Sister is back. β
If the truth is closed, the river seems to hear the rumbling thunder slowly rolling from the sky.
"......" Grandpa stopped at the food he picked up, threw it into the bowl and put down the chopsticks after a few seconds, didn't say anything, got up and left the table.
In the room, she looked at him, and he looked at her.
"Grandpa... Did you just leave without getting angry?" Ren Zhen asked.
Jiang He nodded.
This didn't go according to her script at all! Her assumption was that Grandpa would be furious when he heard this, slammed the table and smashed the chair, and then said that no one was allowed to let her in!
This... How did she persuade her? Or did Grandpa acquiesce?
"What are you going to do next?" Jiang He asked with an expression of watching the fire from the other side.
Ren Zhen was stunned, shook his head mechanically, and said, "I... No... Know... Dao, grandpa just doesn't play cards according to the routine. β
After eating, the two asked Aunt Wu to send some to Grandpa in a while. Aunt Wu asked what was wrong, but they didn't say anything for the time being, only said that Aunt Wu should not talk much when she saw her grandfather.
