Chapter 201: Fireflies
After drinking about five or six bottles of red wine, she felt that her brain was still very clear, and the tinnitus that quietly appeared in her cochlea, accompanied by what Lin Sheng had just said, looped in her cochlea like a repeater indefinitely, especially the sentence 'I found myself really in love with you!'
Feeling that she was almost drunk, her fingertips were weak and broke the goblet that still contained red wine, and her eyelids, which were as heavy as stones, gradually closed.
Early the next morning
Kong Xiaoxiao, who was still asleep under the influence of alcohol, was woken up by the mobile phone bell in her coat pocket three times in a row, and finally her red and swollen eyes opened sleepily.
took out her mobile phone and picked up the phone, and said a few words in a daze, but before she could hang up the phone, the whole person fell into a drowsy sleep again.
She fell asleep for a while, and as evening approached, she was woken up by the sound of a visiting doorbell.
Then she fell from the soft couch to the cold floor, and then she sat down on the floor with a bang, and for a while, she raised her hand and pinched her temple, and her head was really swollen and went to open the door.
Seeing that the closed door in front of him was opened, and then a strong and pungent smell of wine hit his face, Lin Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the crumbling Kong Xiaoxiao out of a gentleman.
"How much wine have you drunk?" he asked worriedly.
Kong Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and exhaled, stretched out his arm and pushed Lin Sheng away, and asked in a hoarse voice with heavy eyes, "What are you doing here?"
"Grandpa Yi called me this morning and said let's go back to Yi's house at eight o'clock in the evening! I called you a lot in the morning, but you didn't say anything, I was worried that something would happen to you, so I didn't say hello and came over in advance. ”
Kong Xiaoxiao's eyes were empty and sluggish for a while.
"What time is it?"
Lin Sheng raised the watch he was wearing on his wrist, "It's almost seven o'clock in the evening!"
"Oh, wait for me here, I'll go change my clothes. ”
She responded indifferently, and while speaking, she dragged her body with a floating body towards her master bedroom, and this shaky back made Lin Sheng look at it, and she also had a different feeling in her heart, not very comfortable!
Coupled with the bathing and washing time, Kong Xiaoxiao only took more than half an hour to take care of himself, and the strong smell of wine that had just choked was also covered by a light pear flower fragrance.
It's just that the haggard in her eyes is still a little distressing to look at.
When I came to the Yi family's mansion, it was already half past eight.
Originally, when they arrived at Yi's house, the time was exactly eight o'clock, but sitting in the co-pilot and already asleep Kong Xiaoxiao, Lin Sheng did not wake her up immediately after parking the car, but sat quietly in the car, looking at her sleeping face with sincere love and satisfaction.
"Grandpa"
"Why are you so late?"
At this time, the old man Yi sat leisurely on a leather sofa specially made of Italian custom, his eyes were bright, and he glanced at Kong Xiaoxiao with majesty, and his voice was still very majestic.
Kong Xiaoxiao lowered his eyes and was speechless, Lin Sheng saw that the situation was not quite right, and hurriedly stepped forward to answer: "Grandpa Yi, in fact, I was late when I picked up Xiaoxiao in the past! There was a temporary situation on the company's side, so I was busy dealing with it and forgot to see the time, so it was delayed." ”
"Really?"
Old Man Yi looked back and stared sharply at Kong Xiaoxiao, Kong Xiaoxiao's body was slightly stunned, and he bit his lip and nodded in response.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go, it's time for the feast!"
Old Man Yi got up from the sofa and took a step first, Kong Xiaoxiao stood in place for a few seconds, and Lin Sheng's gentle reminder came from his ears.
"Let's go too!"
Kong Xiaoxiao bit her red lip and paused for a while, raised her godless eyes and nodded in reply.
When I came to the dining place, the large dining table was already full of the elders of the Yi family, including Mr. Yi and his wife, Yi Zhiyan's parents, and Kong Xiaoxiao's parents.
"Xiaoxiao, come! Come to Mom!"
Kong Xiaoxiao's mother's facial features are very delicate, her figure is also very small and exquisite, and her fair and wrinkle-free face bags make her feel like sisters, not mother and daughter.
She obediently walked to the vacant seat beside her mother and sat down, and lowered her head for a long time and refused to raise it.
"Have you been able to afford to work lately?"
Kong Xiaoxiao nodded and remained silent, and when her mother saw this, she sighed helplessly and distressedly, stretched out her hand to hold her hand and patted the back of her hand.
"Mom, you don't have to worry! the work is going well, nothing is a big problem!"
"That's good!"
Halfway through the meal, Lin Sheng's seat was close to Old Man Yi, he seemed to be very good at communicating, and a few words made Old Man Yi laugh.
"Xiaoxiao, we recently discussed your marriage contract with Lin Sheng, and the wedding time is scheduled for the middle of next month, so you should prepare well during this time!"
"Grandpa, I..."
When Kong Xiaoxiao was about to retort, her mother quickly pulled down her sleeve, and motioned to her not to talk nonsense with calm and unflustered eyes.
Noticing her mother's action, she gritted her teeth and said unwillingly: "I know grandpa." ”
Lin Sheng, who also noticed Kong Xiaoxiao's actions, instantly flashed a trace of disappointment in his happy eyes, and lowered his eyes and was silent while pursing his lips.
After dinner, Kong Xiaoxiao was immediately called to a quieter place by her mother.
"Mom, is there something you brought me here for?"
In her preoccupied eyes, she looked a little tired and looked up at her mother in confusion.
"You're still waiting for that boy?"
As soon as her mother said this, Kong Xiaoxiao was stunned for a few seconds, her eyes were tearful, and she bit her lip.
"It's been ten years, why can't you let him go?" her mother asked helplessly.
Kong Xiaoxiao bit his lip and was silent for a long time, then plucked up the courage to answer: "Because he saved my life, if it weren't for him, I would have died ten years ago!"
"Xiaoxiao, you are now twenty-five years old, you can't wait any longer! Ten years is not a short time, especially for you who are just in your twenties, don't wait any longer, okay? Maybe he has already started a family. ”
"No! he didn't!"
"Have you found him?"
Kong Xiaoxiao shook his head, "I will find it! I will definitely find him! This is what I owe him and I promised him, I will not give up!"
"Shinoshino"
"Mom, don't say it again! This is my own business, and I will take care of it myself!" After finishing speaking, Kong Xiaoxiao left the place without looking back, leaving her mother alone and standing in place.
In the early hours of the night, she dragged her drunken body back to the private house, and just curled up on the sofa, her stomach suddenly hit an irrepressible overturn.
A gagging sound came, and she was half lying on the edge of the sofa with a pale face, and she basically vomited out all the things she had eaten at Yi's house.
The dark night seemed to have just been dyed with ink, and it was as silent as time jammed except for the thin and bleak moonlight shining through the window.
Time never seemed so quiet, or perhaps it should have been.
Ten years ago in the early summer
Kong Xiaoxiao, who has been accustomed to a pampered life since she was a child, took her to a beautiful township during the school summer vacation, which can be regarded as a summer vacation.
She didn't live in the township for a few days, and her body suddenly became unadaptable, and she lay in bed for many days in a row, and drank a lot of Chinese and Western medicines to recuperate, but there was still no improvement.
Just the day before her mother couldn't stand it and was about to take her back to S City, a handsome boy appeared, and he played with her for about two hours, and her unaccustomed phenomenon miraculously gradually improved.
Her mother looked very strange at the time, why she still looked sick the day before, and now she is so good that she can jump alive again.
Since that day, she has made an appointment with the boy to meet at a certain place and a certain point every day, and then they will play together for a long time, and when they are tired of playing, they will go back to their respective homes.
After spending a few days with the boy, Kong Xiaoxiao felt from the bottom of his heart that the boy was a gentle and kind person, and he also knew his name from the conversation with him.
"Qin Han, your name is so nice!"
"Sounds good?"
Qin Han paused slightly, then raised the corners of his lips to reveal a pair of pear vortices on his cheeks, "What about you?"
"Kong Xiaoxiao, everyone calls me Xiaoxiao, you can call me like that!"
Such a beautiful life has lasted for more than half a month, and in this half month, Kong Xiaoxiao probably knew that Qin Han was not actually a native of the township here, and he also vaguely revealed an extraordinary temperament, it turned out that he and she were both from other places to escape the summer.
On the day of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, her mother unexpectedly discovered that the enemies of the family had followed them to this township, and the first thing she said was that the lion opened his mouth and asked her to come up with five million within three hours, and if they couldn't get it, then they could only let their mother and daughter die here.
Kong Xiaoxiao's mother did not compromise after all, after all, she was not frightened, and she seemed to be somewhat sure in her heart that those people would not really treat her.
It's a pity that she still overestimated this group of people!
The leading man picked up a phone at this point, and still turned on a loud speakerphone.
"Boss, do you need to do it now? That girl is in our surveillance range!"
The first sentence on the phone made Kong Xiaoxiao's mother widen her pupils on the spot and was stunned!
"What are you going to do?"
After the leading man put away the phone, he let go of a cigarette in the corner of his mouth and fell to the ground, and then ruthlessly stepped on the cigarette that was burning with sparks.
"Five million, I don't care what method you use to hand it over within three hours, if you can't hand it over, then the first person to be buried will be your daughter in the palm of your hand!"
"You dare to touch her!"
At this time, Kong Xiaoxiao's mother's face changed instantly, and she still looked full of confidence, but now her eyes were already panicked and worried.
The edge of the small pond, like the moonlight shining like a street lamp, illuminated the area around them very brightly.
The looming fireflies are flying quietly in this night, and the picture is also dreamy and beautiful.
"Hey Qin Han, come and see! There are fireflies here, it's so beautiful!"
Kong Xiaoxiao, who was already laughing to the point of blooming, followed a firefly with a strong fluorescent firefly and ran after him.
Qin Han saw that Kong Xiaoxiao had already started and ran happily, and he immediately chased after her with a bright smile.
