Chapter 48: I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer
ο»Ώο»Ώ ??????? I said I really can't remember: "You didn't come to the training yesterday, so I didn't go to class." Everything is working normally, commuting to and from work-"
Su Xihang didn't speak, and his expression was so serious that the police around him were nervous.
I bit my fingernails and sat down with a broken thought. I saw him suddenly bloom with Conan's expression when he found the evidence. Comes with a high-pitched background sound!
"Luo Qi!"
I said what did you think!
"Because I didn't come yesterday, you're not in the mood to attend the class. And said that there is no me in his heart?!"
Su Xihang, what are you thinking about these half days!!
Later I signed. Leave with a lost item. Su Xihang said that he wanted to invite me to dinner, and I said that I would invite it. The six hundred dollars that were lost and recovered were like falling from the sky.
The two of us went to a clean little Chinese restaurant. He didn't eat much, and it was obvious that he still had something on his mind. It's just that I can't wait until he is quieter, and I won't be bored with my mouth again.
It wasn't until he finally sent me to the door of the house that he said, "Luo Qi, if you are not interested in me, then do you really like Su Beiwang?"
Me: "!!"
I deliberately avoided the problem for a whole day, and I was thrown out by him so naked, and I didn't even give a little buffer!
I stood in front of the car and took a breath, and then faced the problem very solemnly and rationally. After filtering my thoughts, I said word by word:
"My seven-year relationship ended and my three-year marriage failed. When I was most emotionally unfounded, there was a high-quality man like Su Beiwang who blocked sluts and scum for me in the company.
To be honest, I do have a crush on him.
But I'm twenty-seven years old, and I can't be like seventeen anymore. I was crazy about my youth when I saw a boy wearing a white shirt that I liked one afternoon.
The more I have experienced, the more I naturally think about it.
I think that the heartbeat is just an irresponsible moment of surging, and whether you like it or not, whether it is appropriate or not. Whether we can be together or not is indeed three completely different things.
So Sussihang, the question you asked...... I can't even give myself a clear answer. β
With a snap, I saw the man press a voice recorder! Immediately, the corners of his mouth rose and he smiled and said, "A lot of nonsense." Hehe, two people who are too rational often end without a start.
I should have told my brother that, perhapsβ"
"Su Xihang, you dare to record my words!" I was so angry that my face turned red, and I went up to grab it.
"No more fuss, no fuss! I'm kidding you. β
He smiled and spread the pen out in front of me, it turned out to be just a ballpoint pen that had always been very ordinary.
I gasped, raised my hand and slapped him: "Su Xihang, are you sick? If you dare to tell Su Beiwang these words, I will definitely break off my friendship with you!"
"I'm not stupid. Su Xihang covered his wound and glared at me: "Tell him, do you want him to chase you?"
"What are you doing if he can't chase me!"
Su Xihang rolled his eyes faintly, and the topic instantly changed to a different painting style: "But your considerations are not wrong, sometimes it is not a bad thing to be sensible." Whoever sinks first is sad first, the eternal game theory.
Let's go, see you next week!"
After entering the house, my mother's mung bean porridge became cold. As soon as I opened my mouth, I asked me how the two of us slipped away so fast, as if we were eloping.
I piled my butt on the couch and said don't mention that person.
"Tell you. He's a pyramid scheme. Mom, you remember not to let this guy come to the door in the future. β
My mom made an OK gesture with a greeting in her eyes, 'You're not sick'.
After dinner, I was watching American dramas in my bedroom, and when the plot was tense, I received a call from Su Beiwang.
I was a little apprehensive, so I weakly picked it up and fed it.
"Luo Qi, your mobile phone is connected?"
"Oh, I changed my card today. β
Hopefully, the sound of the pounding heartbeat hadn't traveled down the earpiece, and I said embarrassedly, "I...... I was busy dealing with lost property, so I didn't go to the hospital today......
Well, are you okay?"
"After the examination, there is nothing wrong, and I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow with a little skin trauma. Su Beiwang's voice was quite energetic, and I breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of my heart: "Really? It's good if it's okay." That...... Will there be scars on your face?"
"It's just three stitches close to the brow bone, it doesn't matter. "He thinks a lot, and sure enough, a man who can eat by strength doesn't want to be seen by others as eating with his face.
There was 315 seconds of silence in the earpiece.
I heard that Su Beiwang seemed to breathe a big sigh and said:
"If it's convenient tomorrow, come and pick me up at the hospital. β
"Ah?!" I thought I had heard it wrong, but Su Beiwang only paused slightly, and insisted on giving me a reason-
"Accompany me to take Xiaoqi home. β
"Xiaoqi?!" I thought for a long time who this child was, and then I realized that it was the little grass cat that Su Beiwang almost crippled!
"If I take it home alone, well, this kind of thing ......" He was too embarrassed to say that he was afraid, but I was already laughing out loud on the other end of the phone.
"Good. I said.
After hanging up Su Beiwang's phone, I rolled on the bed with my mobile phone. My mother came up to deliver the cantaloupe, stood at the door and looked at me strangely, and then found a blank piece of paper to draw a talisman and pasted me!
I said I wasn't evil, I might just be ...... Well, it's a bit ......
"Kind of like that pyramid scheme?"
My mother is really from the director of discipline, and one sentence can sweep away all your good mood.
The little heart that was originally quite excited was suddenly splashed with cold water and turned into a dog. Can I say that when I want to look at the north of Su, please don't mention Suxi Airlines to me again!
Reflecting on the magnetic voice on the phone just now, I sighed deeply.
Su Beiwang asked me to pick him up, and then took him to pick up the child - Bah, Bah, Pick up the cat!
What do you mean? What the hell is he-
Han Ruochu's old-fashioned tone like a love consultant sounded in my ears again, and if he didn't say he liked it, it didn't mean ...... Like.
With a snap, I gave myself a hard slap on the hot cheek.
Twenty-seven years old, don't be a nymphomaniac!
However, the mobile phone in my arms once again deceived the corpse, and I was so frightened that I rolled off the ground with a spirit.
Is it Zhou Nan?
I didn't want to pay attention to him, and I was about to turn my phone to silent, but my hand shook and I pressed the answer and rejection in reverse......**ΞΌ
"Luo Qi, I-"
I stubbornly asked, is there anything wrong with you?
"I want to ask you, there is a lock on the red lacquered box under the bed in our bedroom, what is it, and where is the key?"
I frowned impatiently: "Are you still finished? Is it necessary to ask me such a trivial matter?"
I knew that the aftermath of divorce was like rheumatoid pain, not necessarily when it rained, and not necessarily when it had convulsions.
"Luo Qi, what is going on at home...... I haven't intervened in all these years. Now that you're gone, I thinkβ"
I said what are you afraid of when I'm gone, isn't there already a hostess?
Luo Qi ...... I'm afraid I'll break your things, so I'll ask you first. "Zhou Nan's voice is not very confident, which makes me more and more sure - this man's nature is a cheap word. If I am strong, he will be weak, and if I am weak, he will be lame like 25800000.
I thought about it for a while, and before leaving, I obviously went through all the cabinets and drawers in the house with my mother...... What's in this box under the bed? Why can't I remember?
"I forgot what the box was, and it probably wouldn't have anything important. If you two think it's a treasure map, smash it open!" I snorted, then hung up coldly.
Then my mom came up again, poked my head out and asked me what kind of box I was. I replied without a match: "Under the bed, Zhou Nan said that there was a red lacquer box locked." β
"Ouch, isn't that the suitcase that put your wedding photos in the first place!" my mother has a better brain than me: "The red paint box is still the dowry when I married your father." I searched for a long time and couldn't remember where to throw it. No, no, no, how can such an important souvenir be forgotten to take it. As she spoke, she poured out a small key from a decorative vase: "Xiaoqi, you take the time to get the box back for me." As for what's inside...... I guess you'll be angry when you see it, and burn the statue!"
When my mom said that, I remembered it. When I took wedding photos, the photo studio gave me a few thick albums. When we went to pick it up, we took a box from my mom.
Later, I didn't have a chance to turn it out and look at it, so it was sealed under the bed.
I said okay, I know, I'll pick it up in a few days. There are no state secrets in it-
Thinking of confidentiality, my thoughts returned to the private detective agency that Han Ruochu had introduced me to before. Anyway, it's been a few days since people offered me, and I didn't reply.
Come to think of it, I feel like I should give someone an answer. So I crackled and opened the mailbox, and returned a letter to Lin Yuqing-
Can it be cheaper?γ
I didn't expect the other party to be like a robot, and I came back in seconds!
Hello Ms. Luo, you are also the first employer of our firm since its establishment. γ
Boss Lin should be teasing me, but for the sake of Mao, I am ashamed to think that he is praising me!
I'm sorry Mr. Lin, I just don't think it's worth it for me to spend so much money on investigating. I gritted my teeth, and said in my heart that I would throw a month's salary into it at most, and any more would be a mallet.
γ eight thousand. γ
Hehe, what a refreshing person! I happily went back to the past two words.
ββ
The next day, Sunday, I got up and turned the wardrobe upside down, and I didn't think about what clothes I should wear to see Su Beiwang.
My mother stood at the door and squinted at me: "Women spend a lot of time thinking about what to wear to attract men, but what men want to see most is women who don't wear clothes." β
I almost sprayed her face with a mouthful of toothpaste foam, and I said that you are a people's teacher, can you have a bottom line when you speak.
"I'm retired, I'm in charge of my discipline!"
In the end, I picked out a beige sleeveless dress, which was very healing and thoughtful.
Before going out, I passed by my father's study, and I subconsciously glanced at it: "By the way, Mom, I told Guan Chengqing, take a moment to ask him to come over and help me sort out the information left by my father." Or next week?"
"Huh?" my mom stared at me in surprise and shook her head, "Next week, Xiao Guan called me just now, saying that he would come to the door to clean up in a whileβ"
A while?!
"You don't know?" my mom looked at me.
I said, of course I don't know! You treat him as a son, and I don't think of him as a son!
Seriously, I've always thought it was a little weird.
When I mentioned this to Guan Chengqing last Friday, he was too enthusiastic, which ...... That's abnormal, isn't it?
Approaching my father's desk, I reached through the newspapers and magazines, the old and new newspapers and magazines, the lesson plan notes and experiment reports that had followed him for decades.
It seems that I can still see my old Professor Luo hunched over in front of the desk lamp, devoting himself to the most enthusiastic cause of his life.
My eyes were a little sore, and I breathed hard to adjust, and then slammed the door to the study shut. I said you better tell him to wait for me to come back and get it. Dad's stuff, I want to see it for myself.
Driving downstairs to the hospital, Su Beiwang was already waiting for me. I saw Hua Xiaoting standing with him, and the two of them talked without any suspicion, like a pair of biological mothers and sons.
At that moment, I seemed to understand where the twin brothers' mustard was born-
Hua Xiaoting is Su Mingyuan's original partner, born in a famous family and gentle and virtuous. And their biological mother, no matter how bumpy and pitiful she is, is just an extramarital junior who can't have a name.
The two brothers grew up in different families and recognized different mothers, so they were fundamentally opposed in terms of moral tendencies.
Su Xihang must feel sorry for his biological mother and resent his irresponsible father. And Su Beiwang has never even seen his biological mother, and he only recognizes Hua Xiaoting in his eyes. Even if he talks about his life experience later, most of them are just indifferent and sighing, and they can't pour out any true feelings.
Alas, it's hard enough for them.
At this time, Su Beiwang saw me coming from a distance and waved at me.
This is the first time I've seen him in casual clothes, a slim chestnut long-sleeved shirt with bottoms and casual trousers, and the whole person looks like a horse with a very expensive coat.
He wore sunglasses and slightly covered the injured area at the corner of his eyebrows with bangs, which would not affect his beauty at all when he looked at it from a distance.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and took two quick steps forward.
"Hello aunt. "I'll say hello to my mother first.
"Miss Luo, I still remember you, thank you for sending Beiwang to the hospital that day. Hua Xiaoting's demeanor is elegant and generous, and her smile is as easy as Sister Su's.
No wonder a slut as difficult as Su Xihang doesn't treat her badly.
I smiled embarrassedly and said I hadn't actually helped much.
"Mom, go back first. Looking at her mother, who was still a little worried, Su Beiwang sent her to the driver.
"Beiwang, don't rush to the company, rest for a few more days. Hua Xiaoting looked at him, and then turned to me again: "Miss Luo, Beiwang usually doesn't have any friends to deal with, please bother more." β
Uh-
What should I answer? With this kind look in his eyes, his relieved and ambiguous attitude, he just handed over his son to me?!
"Mom, don't worry. I'm an adult and I'll take care of myself. β
After Hua Xiaoting left, Su Beiwang turned his face to look at me: "Let's go, the child is in a hurry." β
I blushed and pulled the car door and let him in. Then the first thing is to help him fasten his seatbelt. I think if I knock him out again, well, if he is disfigured...... I'm really going to be in charge for the rest of my life.
The two of us first bought some cat daily necessities at the pet supply store next to it and put them in the car, and there was a wide range of everything, just like visiting a baby goods store!
"What is this?cat litter?bath?"
I said with a black face that it was for cats to defecate.
"I thought it was bath sand for bathing. Su Beiwang said while looking at the trademark: "I checked the strategy on the Internet, and said that if the kitten is not good at bathing, you can use bathing sandββ"
I said that the one you looked up should be a strategy for raising hamsters.
He asked me what a hamster was, and I pointed to the little mouse on the side of the counter who was running around the cage and spinning the ball.
And then...... I don't think the frightened expression on Su Beiwang's face should be faked.
"You're afraid of anything with hair?" I didn't make a joke about him.
"It's not ...... The comparison of guinea pigs is ......" Su Beiwang turned his face away and retracted his collapsed gaze.
As soon as I heard the word guinea pig, I guessed that it should be related to Su Xihang. His home is like an anatomy laboratory, and perhaps some inhumane means were used to bury his brother's psychological shadow.
When I came to the ward of the pet hospital, I found that Xiao Qi had grown a lot and his coat color was brighter.
And it's quite human, as soon as I saw Su Bei and I look in, it was like knowing that I was going to be taken away by the new master. Say hello to me.
I held the cat in my arms, and Su Beiwang subconsciously hid back. I couldn't help but laugh: "You really ...... Are you sure you want to raise it?"
He nodded, tried to reach out, and tapped lightly on the cat's back. Then he asked me with a dumb face, "Is it hot?"
The doctor next to him didn't choke on a sip of water, and laughed loudly: "Cats have a higher body temperature than people, and they can be held as hot water bottles when they are cold." β
Xiao Qi rubbed on my shoulder, and soon got into a groove, crouching under my armpit and stepping on.
"It's ...... Do you want to make a hole?" Su Beiwang looked at me blankly.
The female doctor really laughed, and I stepped on the man next to me with a red face.
"Don't sell cuteness with such a handsome face, okay!"
I told him it was a cat stepping on milk, a very cute nature.
"It's very comfortable, do you want to try it?"
"Thank you, no. Su Beiwang took a step back: "Please let me get used to it first, and try to make it appear in my sight completely." β
That's it, the two of us came with this little thing - well, Su Beiwang's apartment is much more normal!
At least there won't be ghostly vine-like plants and human bones all over the floor.
He lives in a high-end apartment in the downtown business district, with 18 floors and a modern minimalist style of 200 square meters and three bedrooms. The dΓ©cor is simple and fresh.
But it's so simple that you can tell at a glance that there is no hostess in the house, because it lacks a warmth that only women can decorate.
"You're just living alone?"
"Usually there is a housekeeping aunt who comes to clean regularly. I live alone and there is nothing to worry about. Su Beiwang hung up his coat and fetched water from the refrigerator for me.
I said, where is Xiaoqi's bedroom going to be placed?
"Washroom. β
What the hell is going onβ
I will punish you on behalf of the cats! I said Su Beiwang, you are abusing animals like this.
"I checked it on the Internet and said that the new pet should be placed in the bathroom first so that it can learn to be convenient. So saying, he took the cat cage and went in.
I followed up and did a square dance in his twelve-square-level bathroom.
I said okay, just rely on your luxurious suite-like toilet...... It's a blessing to drown it in the toilet.
And then I saw ...... Su Beiwang put the cat cage on the toilet seat!!!!
"Su Beiwang, are you a tease invited by the monkey?"
It's funny, but can you not look at me so innocently.
I said she's a cat, no matter how much you train her from a young age, she can't learn to call her daddy! A cat uses a sand box to go to the toilet, and even if you stick her to the toilet, she is unlikely to learn to flush!
"Oh. Su Beiwang lifted the cage down stupidly, and the lost expression on his face was so real, so real that I wanted to hug him and ravage him!
I said forget it, you better sit there and rest.
Then I rolled my arms and sleeves and spent an afternoon creating a 'children's playground' in his guest room.
Then I introduced everything to Su Beiwang and Xiaoqi. It is said that this one grinds its claws, that one grinds its teeth, and there is a cat corridor on the wall, which cats can drill but you can't. Remember?
Xiao Qi sighed, and Su Beiwang shook his head blankly. Bu Dong Shuai died.
I sat on the sofa in despair, I said you better give it to Sister Su, I can already foresee its pitiful second half of life.
"You don't have faith in me?"
I said that these are two different things, and of course I believe that you are a very capable businessman, but the interlacing is like a mountain...... Raising cats, you better let yourself go, and let go of the cat.
"I prefer to raise ......"
At that moment, I thought I had misheard. He's ...... Are you being tsundere with me?!
"Besides...... Isn't there still you?"
I said, oh, you and Xiaoqi, this is a piece of porcelain tied to touch me. If I put it on, I can't rely on it, right?
I held Xiaoqi in my arms and held a bottle with a moderate temperature in one hand.
"When I was nursing in the hospital, I was nursed by the nursery, and I had to get used to it and let her learn to eat it herself. "I stuffed the pet pacifier into the little thing, and watched it hold it with its two front paws, like a child, and it was so cute that my face was bloody.
Su Beiwang slowly stretched out his hand and gently stroked the top of its head. Then my scalp tightened and I realized that he was touching me again!
"You...... What are you doing?" I glanced at him with a fever in my face.
"I think you're pretty cute, too. β
I say thank you, I usually describe a woman as cute because there is no other word to describe it.
"I just think you're really special. I've never seen such a beautiful smile on the face of a woman who has been through this before. β
Why don't you say such Su lines?!
I was suddenly excited, and I felt inexplicably itchy in my heart.
I said that I was just more heartless than other women, and I couldn't see the pain.
"It's not heartlessness, it's wisdom. Su Beiwang looked into my eyes and said, "You are smarter than others first, and then stronger than others." β
The ripples in my heart exploded countless times, and I looked at Su Beiwang in a daze, but I didn't want to show myself the broken embankment after being strong.
Quickly bowed my head and teased the cat, and I said in a pretended calm tone, "Thank you for your appreciation." I do...... I've always told myself like this, and I've been talking about it a lot, and I've started to believe that I'm such a strong person. β
Later, I fed the cat for ten minutes, and Su Beiwang sat on the side and watched me for ten minutes. Later, when the cat fell asleep, I saw that he covered his mouth lightly and yawned, well, I guess he was also sleepy......
I put Xiao Qi back in the cat kennel, and then said to him, do you want to go back to the room to rest first, I'm almost-
"Well, if you have something to do, go back first. β
I snorted, but I didn't expect him to have already issued an 'eviction order'.
Actually, I ...... I don't have any other skills, except that I can cook and make medicine.
From now on, I will follow this principle, I will cook for whoever is good to me, and I will drug whoever treats me badly.
"Then I'm ......"
I stood in the hallway, hesitating slightly.
When I turned my head, I found that Su Beiwang was looking at me very seriously: "What's wrong with you?"
I asked, do you need me to go downstairs and buy some bento for you?
"Don't move. He suddenly held my face with both hands, and his gaze was clouded!
"You have a ...... in your face Cat food. β
I'm embarrassed, I said that the cat food hasn't been opened yet.
Su Beiwang sighed: "Luo Qi, can't you pretend to be confused." β
Before I could figure out what he was frowning, suddenly I felt a softness on my lips, and he came down and kissed me!
It's very light and light, not so much a kiss as a gentle touch. But I could hear his frantic heartbeat in his chest, very real agitation.
I looked at him with a red face and couldn't say a word.
It's just a little ambiguity like a dragonfly dotting water, but the effect is surprisingly good. At least it can make me feel very stressed.
"Go back and be careful when driving. "Su Beiwang helped me open the door and sent me out.
I smiled and nodded: "Call me if you have any situation, good luck to you!"
Driving all the way back, I felt like my heart was beating as fast as I pressed the accelerator.
But before I got home, I answered a phone call-
