Chapter 28: Godsister
Xinya's strange performance and ridiculous demands made my heart, which was no longer so guarded, tighten again.
Later, I asked Wenwen to go to the city where Xinya was born and raised to do some research, and Wenwen seemed to have a natural interest in this area.
But the results of the investigation proved that Xinya did not lie, and also learned that Xinya's uncle had gone to Beihai, Guangxi with his children to retire, Xinya because she didn't like the city where she was born and raised, she sold a two-bedroom house left by her parents and left the local area soon after graduating from college.
Asked Wenwen to help me investigate Xinya, and the unexpected gain was that Wenwen's hostility towards Xinya seemed to have dissipated a lot, but she felt a little more sympathy.
Slowly, the people in the company knew Xinya's life experience, and seemed to be more friendly to Xinya, which was really a bit unintentional for me, because it turned out that some employees who were still a little unconvinced by Xinya, perhaps out of compassion for the plotter, were more cooperative with Xinya's work, and I also had a lot less trouble coordinating between them.
I no longer doubt Xinya's identity, but it doesn't mean that I have completely given up on Xinya's "unreasonable" request, but everyone is more tolerant and sympathetic to her after knowing Xinya's life experience, and when Xinya makes such an unreasonable request again, I am a little hesitant.
It was winter, Xinya took a taxi to my residence to talk about some difficult things at work at that time, and when I went out, I found that it was snowing outside, and there was a thick layer on the ground.
"Why don't you wait for the snow to stop before you leave?" I asked her in a consultative tone, and if she insisted on going back, I thought I would still drive her back.
Xinya raised an eyebrow at me, then stood quietly in front of the window and watched the snowflakes dancing in the wind outside the window.
By the time it got dark, the snow had not only not weakened, but had fallen more violently, and the snow on the ground was enough to cover your ankles.
I was originally timid and cautious, and Xinya had no intention of going back, so in such weather, I dispelled the idea of driving Xinya.
I let Xinya sleep in my daughter's room, and before going to bed, I went to the bedroom on the second floor to take down my wife's toiletries for Xinya to use.
"I'm sorry, but there is no surplus at home, this is for my wife. ”
Xinya took the toothbrush, toothpaste, towel and facial cleanser, and looked at it for a long time, I don't know if she wondered why I still have something for women here or if she thought it was for the dead and panicked.
"But don't worry, this hasn't been used, and I replace it regularly. ”
Xinya looked at the toiletries in a trance, as if she hadn't heard my explanation at all.
Who knows that if you start this beginning, you won't be able to finish it, and Xinya can always have a reason to say "I'm too lazy to go back, so I'll live here with you".
To be honest, living under the same roof with a young woman, plus Xinya has no intention of being defensive at all, and it is not normal to have a little dirty idea.
But when the blood is swollen and ready to move, I always ask myself, "Then what?", how to explain to other girls when the pressure is released after being happy?
Marry in?
No!
No, you can't! I can't help my dead wife, my wife hasn't heard from me yet, and my wife hasn't agreed yet.
Besides, Xinya's intentions have never been figured out, who knows if it's a bait, if it's a trap?
Reasonable suspicions cannot be taken seriously until they are proven, not to mention that Xinya's painful experience is a fact that has been proven.
But in the long run, I am always afraid that acquaintances will gossip when they see it, of course, mainly the company's employees.
I don't have any ill feelings towards Xinya herself, to be precise, I'm a little used to Xinya getting close to me, and I always feel that there is something familiar about her, but I'm still somewhat wary of Xinya's motives.
But when I thought of Xinya's unfortunate experience and experience, I persuaded myself not to think too much about it, and to take it one step at a time.
In order not to attract too much gossip, I persuaded Xinya to be my godsister.
I deliberately held a small ceremony that day, invited the company's employees to have dinner together, and solemnly announced that in view of Xinya's parents forgetting early, my uncle is far away in Guangxi and rarely contacted, and there are no relatives to move around, I officially recognize Xinya as my sister.
After everyone was surprised, someone joked with Xinya, saying that he finally met a good brother, Wenwen said jealously: "When my parents pass away, will you also consider recognizing me as a sister?"
======
"Let me ask you, what's the matter with you letting Xinya live with you for a long time, aren't you afraid of delaying other people's marriages?"
Wenwen called me back from my memories, and I looked out the train window: "Yo, before I know it, I'll be there soon." ”
It's not that I don't want to answer Wenwen positively, I really don't know how to answer better.
On the one hand, I was afraid of delaying Xinya and wanted her to move out, but Xinya was unwilling, and Zhenzhen asked me rhetorically, "Why do you want me to move out", on the other hand, after staying close for a long time, I found that Xinya has many qualities similar to my wife, and takes care of my daily life, and I am reluctant to let her go.
Wenwen suddenly saw through my thoughts: "Unconsciously, you should be sitting opposite me for a long time, right?"
"What's that called?"
"You speak in your heart. ”
"Net nonsense. You're not a roundworm in my belly. ”
Wenwen looked directly at me and smiled: "But I can read minds!"
didn't want to continue to play tricks with Wenwen, thinking about Xinya's explanation, so she said: "Xinya asked you to rest at home for a few more days after you go back, and you don't have to rush to work." ”
Wenwen squinted at me: "Is it what you mean or what Xinya means?"
"Does it make a difference?"
It's over, it's the wrong thing again!
Wenwen grabbed my braids: "Yes, you two are breathing out of one nostril, like one person." Of course there is no difference. ”
was choked by Wenwen and didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to calm down: "It's what I mean." ”
Wenwen tugged at the corners of her mouth, glanced at me, and looked out the window.
After being silent for dozens of seconds, Wenwen's face was still facing out of the window, and she said slowly: "It's better for you to let Xinya move out as soon as possible!"
Since Wenwen went to Xinya's hometown to investigate and came back and changed her attitude towards Xinya, when she occasionally talked to Wenwen about Xinya, Wenwen persuaded me half-truthfully, "You should marry Xinya quickly", I know that it is not Wenwen's true words, it is a temptation between persistence and abandonment.
But today the wind direction has changed a little, and it sounds a little different, not an inquiry, not a suggestion, but like a ......
"You're no longer trying to persuade me to marry her as soon as possible?" I asked jokingly.
Wenwen tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a subtle smile, turned her face out of the window again, and did not speak.
