Chapter 116: The Estrangement Deepens
Xia Er took Zijin's hand and asked kindly: "Zijin, let's say, what do you want to eat, sister, please eat." ”
Zijin nodded happily and said, "Thank you, sister." Let's ask Hua Dong and see what he wants to eat, I'm free. ”
Xia Er deliberately straightened her face and said, "You have to ask him everything, let's not ask him, since you said casually, I'll take you to eat hot pot, right? I haven't eaten for a long time." ”
Zijin nodded happily.
In this way, Dongzi followed behind the two, watching the two of them talk and laugh for a while, not knowing what they were talking about, and not daring to come up and listen, so they could only follow from a distance.
When she was about to walk to the door of the hot pot restaurant, Xia Er asked, "Zijin, tell me honestly, has Dongzi found a partner now?"
Zijin didn't answer Xia'er's words, but pursed his mouth and said, "This...... Sister, it's not that I won't tell you, you should ask him about his own home. ”
Xia Er smiled and said, "Ouch, Zijin, you are really good at talking, haven't you already told me." ”
Zijin smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sister, don't tell Hua Dong that I said it, that person is not easy to mess with." After saying that, he stuck out his tongue.
Xia Er said: "Look at what you said, how could I be! I remember your mobile phone number, we often contact each other." ”
The two took out their phones and remembered each other's phone numbers.
After this inquiry, Xia Er knew that her younger brother must be in early love, but what she didn't expect was that Dongzi's early love object turned out to be her homeroom teacher and Chinese teacher, of course, when she Xia Er knew, it was the next thing. But even that was enough to surprise her.
Xia Er probably found out, and then didn't mention it again until the end of the meal.
During the meal, Xia Er asked in her hometown dialect, "Dongzi, have you been in touch with your family recently?"
Hearing the second sister ask, Dongzi was nervous for a while and asked, "How is Dad?" I heard my mother say that she will come for a check-up in a few days, right?"
Xia Er said "um" before saying, "I've been having nightmares these days, and I hope everything is okay." ”
Dongzi also nodded and said, "Second sister, don't think about it, wait for Dad to finish the examination in a few days." In Dongzi's heart, he always felt that his second sister was not only in charge of things, but also very sensitive, and his mother was simply carved out of the same mold.
Zijin, who was sitting next to Dongzi, put down his chopsticks and asked with concern, "What's wrong with uncle?"
Dongzi said: "No, it's nothing. ”
Xia Er said: "After middle age, people's physical condition will become worse and worse than before. After saying this, she changed the topic and asked, "Zijin, are you the only child in your family? Your parents are still very young, right?"
Zijin replied: "My parents are not much younger, I still have an older brother, not long after he was admitted to college, Hua Dong has seen it, is it Hua Dong?"
Fuyuko could only nod.
Xia Er smiled and said, "There is another brother? Then you are quite happy." ”
Zijin pursed his mouth and said, "What's the happiness! My brother always bullies me, how can Hua Dong be good, and he has three sisters to take care of him." ”
Xia Er "cut" and said with a pout: "Fortunately, it's not up to us to decide whether we're happy or not, we have to ask Yan Huadong." Maybe people don't want such happiness!"
Zijin heard the meaning of her words, and said with a smile: "He! is in the blessing and does not know the blessing, if I have three sisters, I can wake up laughing in my dreams!"
With that, both of them laughed. Looking at Dongzi sitting next to him, his face was white and red for a while, not a taste. He had no choice but to stand up and say, "I'm going to the toilet, you guys can eat." ”
Zijin looked at Dongzi, who was leaving quickly, smiled at Xia Er, and said, "Sister, thank you for inviting me to eat hot pot." ”
Xia Er waved her hand and said with a smile: "What is this, Dongzi's friend is my friend, besides, I don't have to ask you to help me supervise him! Dongzi is good at everything, but he thinks too much, and his heart can't calm down." ”
Zijin heard her talk about this topic again, turned his head to see that Dongzi hadn't come back yet, lowered his voice and said, "Sister, I heard that my uncle was hospitalized last time, and I didn't go over to take a look, so I didn't want to go." I'll give you a phone number, this is my dad's good friend, who is now the vice president of the first hospital in the city, you went to call him, and said that it was introduced by Zi Yuanliang. Zi Yuanliang in Zijin's mouth is naturally his father.
When Xia Er heard her say this, she hurriedly waved her hand, telling her not to mention this phone number. Then he said: "No need Zijin, my dad is just an ordinary examination, it's not a big problem, let's talk about it when necessary." ”
Zijin looked at Xia Er's rejection of her, and was a little disappointed in his heart, but his expression was disapproving, and said: "Well, if you need it, you can ask Hua Dong to tell me, don't see me, after all, you still invite me to dinner! ”
Xia Er looked at Zijin and said innocently, and said with a smile: "You and Dongzi are good friends, Dongzi calls me sister, of course you also call me sister, didn't you recognize it a long time ago, you also have my phone number, tell me anything in the future." ”
Zijin nodded heavily.
While the two were talking, Dongzi came back, looked at the smiling expressions of the two, and said, "You two said about my bad words, right?"
Xia Er didn't speak, but heard Zijin say: "Be careful, who said bad things about you!
Dongzi didn't say anything anymore, the three of them finished eating, Xia Er went to settle the bill, and walked out of the restaurant.
Xia Er looked at the time, it was not early, and said: "Zijin, the time is not early, so let's take a taxi for you first and let the master send you back." So saying, he walked to the side of the road and waved his hand.
Zijin looked at his watch, knowing that it would be too late to go back and inevitably have a chatter from his family, so he turned his head to look at Dongzi, who also happened to turn his head to look at him, and the eyes of the two flashed and they both avoided it.
Xia Er stopped a taxi, explained a few words, and asked Zijin to get in the car. Zijin sat in the car, waved his hand and said, "Sister, then I'll go back first, thank you for inviting me to eat hot pot." After saying this, he rolled up the window and didn't even look at Fuyuko.
Zijin's actions can't escape Xia'er's eyes, and through a night's observation, Xia'er probably understands: Zijin definitely likes Dongzi, but she doesn't know who Dongzi likes.
Dongzi stood at the intersection, looked at the taxi in the distance, sighed in his heart, and then turned around and said, "Second sister, you go back quickly, I will also go back to school." In fact, he wanted to go back to Liu Xia.
Xia Er turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we don't have the time when your school closes, I'll send you back and I'll go back." As he spoke, he walked in the direction of their school.
Dongzi cried out bitterly in his heart, but he couldn't show it, in front of his second sister, he always tied his hands and feet. He was thinking about Liu Xia in his heart, he knew that Liu Xia had returned home nine times out of ten, and he was now eager to go back and explain everything to Liu Xia just now, but the second sister seemed to have seen through all this, and deliberately tortured him.
Dongzi had no choice but to follow Xia Er, and she didn't dare to get too close, for fear that the second sister would ask something.
Xia Er turned her head and urged: "Go faster! You are a boy, you are not as fast as me! If you are so grinding, your dormitory must not be closed!"
Dongzi had to take two quick steps to catch up with Xia'er, but she didn't know what to say.
I only heard Xia Er say as she walked: "I heard that you are in love, right?"
Dongzi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No! No! Who did you listen to! Zijin can't believe what she said, we are just ordinary friends, she doesn't know me!"
Xia Er smiled and said: "Don't wronged Zijin, I think that little girl is very good, if you are in a relationship with her, I don't care." ”
Although she knew that the second sister's words were testing herself, in Dongzi's heart, she heard mixed feelings. He said in his heart: "Is Zijin really better than Liu Xia? Why do so many people say this?" In fact, Xia Er just said so, if there is another one, it may be his own heart.
I only heard Dongzi say: "Zijin, it's impossible for me to talk to her! You didn't listen to Zijin, so who did you listen to?"
Xia Er said with a serious face: "Paper can't contain fire, your classmates, your homeroom teacher, are you so sure that no one has told me?"
As soon as Dongzi heard the words "head teacher", he concluded that this was just the second sister's guess, and Liu Xia would never tell her family about the two of them. Thinking of this, Fuyuko's heart let go of a lot.
I only heard Dongzi say: "Sister, don't speculate randomly, okay? We are all preparing for the college entrance examination now, how can we have time to pay attention to those things." ”
Xia Er still said very seriously: "You still know that there is a college entrance examination! Don't forget, our family is not as good as other families, if you can't get into a good university, your family will not have extra money for you to study." ”
Dongzi couldn't help but smile when she heard the second sister's words. Although he doesn't know the specific situation of the family, but such a big factory is placed there, it won't be a fictitious thing, Dongzi has not calmed down to study after going to high school, and it is also because someone keeps talking to him in his ear about the family's money and the like, and he naturally believes it after hearing more.
As for Xia Er's words, this is something that no one expected.
Xia Er turned her face and asked, "What's the matter?"
Dongzi hurriedly said, "No, I just think your tone is becoming more and more like your mother." The 'three masters' are not called for nothing. ”
Xia Er said: "Be serious, I'm telling you the truth. ”
Fuyuko put away the hippie smile and said seriously: "I know the second sister, I will definitely be able to get into a good university, don't worry." ”
Xia Er nodded, and then explained: "Dad, come and do an MRI in a few days, you stay at school honestly, if there is nothing to do, you don't have to go." ”
Fuyuko nodded again. I thought that this second sister was extremely strict today, which was not a good sign.
The two talked as they walked, and it didn't take long to walk to the school gate, Xia Er looked at the time, there were still more than ten minutes before the dormitory closed, and hurriedly urged: "Dongzi, go back and study hard! ”
Dongzi said: "Don't worry, second sister, it's so late, you can take a taxi back, I'll go when I see you go." ”
Xia Er said "um", she didn't realize Fuyuko's true intentions, she couldn't imagine that Fuyuko's girlfriend was his homeroom teacher, and the two lived together. Fuyuko is about to go to her right now.
Dongzi saw that the second sister did not move, so she had to walk to the side of the road and wave her hand to stop the car. At this time, there were no pedestrians on the road, taxis were easy to stop, and after seeing a taxi coming, Dongzi waved him down, turned around and shouted, "Second sister, you go back." With that, he went to open the car door for her.
Dongzi stood in the wind, watched the second sister go away in a taxi, let out a sigh of relief, and turned around and walked towards Liu Xia's house. To be precise, he ran towards Liu Xia's house.
When he ran back to the two's residence out of breath, pushed open the bedroom door, and saw Liu Xia sleeping in clothes inside, a stone in his heart fell.
He cares about Liu Xia, but he doesn't care about the other half like others, this is Dongzi's perception of himself, this cognition has been with him for a long time, and he doesn't know why this is so, but in Dongzi's heart, caring is caring, there is no need to talk about it, or even reflect it in action. What he doesn't understand is that if a person's psychology is not expressed through action, who knows! People live in this world and always spend most of their time performing for others. On this issue, Fuyuko even thought: Leave him alone! I just know it myself, and as for the others, let them say it.
He doesn't know if this psychology of his is right or wrong, but the truth is that whether it's right or wrong, for Fuyuko, it's something that can't be changed. Because this concept is not ingrained in his mind.
Through the crack in the door, Dongzi saw that the bedroom light was on, and Liu Xia was facing inward, Dongzi knew that she was not asleep yet, and he concluded that Liu Xia knew that she had returned.
When Dongzi trotted all the way back, he had been thinking about how to explain to Liu Xia what happened tonight, but standing next to the bedroom at the moment, he didn't want to do it, and as for the reason, he didn't know why.
There was a lot going on tonight, and it wasn't too early, Dongzi was a little tired, he didn't take a shower, just simply washed his face, soaked his feet, and returned to the bedroom, gently turned off the light, and lay down next to Liu Xia in his clothes, neither of them said a word from beginning to end, and after a while, he heard Dongzi fall asleep groggily.
