Chapter Fifty-Eight: To Whom Is the Story Spoken?
Fang Jidong took out his mobile phone, it was almost early in the morning, and if she was in danger outside, he probably couldn't forgive himself. Suddenly there was a sound from the balcony, and Fang Jidong walked over gently, holding a baseball bat in his hand, and the balcony door was closed, and there was a flickering fire inside.
Fang Jidong walked over and quickly opened the door, and walked over with a stick, Shen Yuxi was wrapped in a thick bathrobe and covered with a blanket on the balcony, lying lazily on the recliner with his hair slightly damp. Probably just took a shower, with a cigarette in his hand, and when he saw him come in, he looked at him indifferently.
He just glanced at him, then turned his head and continued to smoke. Mr. Francis saw the ashtray on the table, which was full of cigarette butts, and next to it was a cigarette case, in which there was not much cigarette left. She smoked so much.
Fang Jidong walked over, his eyes were already a little angry, "When did you learn to smoke? ”
Shen Yuxi took a hard puff, snuffed out the remaining cigarette in his hand and threw it into the ashtray, grabbed the remaining cigarette on the table, stood up and stuffed it into Fang Jidong's hand, and gave him a blank look: "It's not okay if you don't smoke, it's verbose." ”
Fang Jidong pinched the cigarette in his hand hard, the box had been completely deformed, and he was a little annoyed by Shen Yuxi's disapproving attitude, "You ran away in such a negative mood, do you know how many people are looking for you again? Do you know how worried I am about you, why do you still look like nothing happened?"
Shen Yuxi let out a long sigh, and then said with a cold expression: "If you want to teach me a lesson, please ask for tomorrow, I am tired and sleepy today, and I am really in no mood to listen to your teachings." After speaking, he brushed Fang Jidong's body and walked back.
Fang Jidong stood on the balcony to calm down, and only walked out of the balcony when he was sure that he would not be angry with Shen Yuxi. But when he saw Shen Yuxi coming out of the bedroom with the quilt in his arms, his calm mood was not calm anymore.
"Shen Yuxi, if you have something to say, just make it clear, what is this for?"
"I slept in the guest room today, you're tired all night, rest early. Shen Yuxi didn't answer his question.
Fang Jidong took a few steps forward and grabbed her arm, looking extremely ugly. Shen Yuxi frowned, thought for a while, then pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, stood on tiptoe and kissed Fang Jidong comfortingly on the face, and then said softly: "I ran away alone tonight, and it was my fault that you were worried about me." I promise there won't be a next time, thank you Xu Wenyu and Lu Yuan, trouble them. In addition, I want to sleep in the guest room because I am not happy today, I want to be alone, I don't want to lose my temper with you, don't be angry. ”
Shen Yuxi seriously explained to him that the apology made him a little unbearable. He thought she would be like other girls, crying with him, messing with him, giving him a headache. But now that she's like this, he can't even lose his temper. He hugged her and whispered in her ear: "No, you are too abnormal today, I can't let you be alone, you always like to think cranky when you are alone." ”
Fang Jidong paused for a moment and said, "If it's because of Song Qing, I apologize." I ...... with her."
"You and her are in the past, and now they have nothing to do with each other. Is this what you want to tell me?" Shen Yuxi asked as he stared at him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you before, I'm just afraid that you will be too careful. ”
"I don't care what you were before, and I believe you have nothing to do with her now. But what does she mean by her appearance in front of you from time to time, and what is the purpose of her inviting me here today? I think it is probably to humiliate me, to see me make a fool of myself in front of everyone. ”
She wanted to cry, but her eyes were dry, and she sighed, "I'm very annoyed right now, and I don't want to talk to you about this." She turned to leave.
Francis pulled her in the slightest, showing no sign of letting go.
"I'm sorry I didn't protect you. ”
"I don't blame you, I just want to be quiet, please. ”
Shen Yuxi seemed to have made up her mind to sleep in the guest room, she looked at Fang Jidong motionlessly, looking aggrieved, as if she was going to cry in the next second, Fang Jidong was helpless, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, it's just for one night." ”
Shen Yuxi agreed, turned around and hugged the quilt and entered the guest room.
Shen Yuxi didn't sleep peacefully at night, she rarely dreamed, because she refused to think about the past. But this time it probably touched the depths of her heart, and chaotic and complicated dreams followed. After a while, she seemed to return to the old house of the Song family, and she chased after Song Mingcheng and called her father sweetly. Probably because she was still a child, Song Mingcheng was not very indifferent, and gently touched her hair with his hand. But he seemed to remember something again, and his eyes were instantly filled with disgust. He no longer paid attention to her, and sometimes when he saw her, he would stay away.
Then the scene changed, and her grandmother did not allow her to eat at the table, and her mother argued with reason, but she was slapped in the face. She screamed in fright, and her mother took her back to her room and secretly shed tears.
Later, the scene changed to a small dilapidated house, the mother was lying motionless on the cold floor, she sat next to her mother, crying loudly, she wanted to open the door and go out to call for someone to save her mother, but she couldn't open the small door. She slammed the door, her palms swollen, but no one responded. She has never been so desperate, even if she was beaten by her grandmother and bled profusely, even if she was scolded to the point of being indecent, she never despaired. She watched as her mother's blood meandered out from under her body, and her body became cold a little.
She finally woke up from her dream, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her body. She sat on the bed for a long time, and her heart ached. She didn't feel the slightest sleep, put on her shoes and got out of bed, and quietly opened the door and went out. Downstairs was silent, except for a wall lamp that still emitted a dim glow. The lights had been turned off in the master bedroom, and Fang Jidong was probably asleep.
Shen Yuxi went downstairs and turned on the TV and turned off the sound. There was an old movie playing on TV, the black and white picture quality was terrible, and she was looking at the TV screen, but her mind had already been empty.
Fang Jidong slept until midnight, his mouth was dry, usually Shen Yuxi would put a glass of water at the head of the bed, but today she was not there, so he could only rely on himself. When he walked downstairs and saw the TV set on, he was startled, and when he saw Shen Yuxi, who was lying prone on the sofa and already asleep, his heart settled down a little.
He walked over, Shen Yuxi was not sleeping very comfortably, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were slightly red, and he seemed to have cried. Francis sighed and carried her to the master bedroom. As if sensing something, Shen Yuxi hugged his neck tightly and said vaguely, "Don't leave me." ”
Fang Jidong patted her gently on the back and coaxed softly: "Good girl, I won't leave you." ”
When Shen Yuxi woke up, she was lying on Fang Jidong's chest. Her last impression was watching TV on the sofa, why did she run to the master bedroom, it seems that she subconsciously still relies too much on Francis.
Fang Jidong was sleeping deeply, Shen Yuxi quietly got up, washed up in the bathroom, and went into the kitchen to get busy.
By the time she had made breakfast and went upstairs, Fang Jidong had already gotten up, took a shower, and came out of the bathroom naked, with only a bath towel around her, her hair dripping wet. Shen Yuxi took a towel to wipe his hair, and nagged while wiping: "It's so cold, you still make it like this, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Fang Jidong laughed: "I'm seducing you, can't you see it? ”
Shen Yuxi was blushing by him, and said angrily: "It's not serious, who likes your body, how can I be so superficial?"
"So you like my mind more than my body?"
Shen Yuxi didn't want to talk to him, so he was silent and didn't speak. Fang Jidong did not give up: "Then my mind is much more improper than my body." ”
Shen Yuxi finally couldn't help it: "Why are you so rogue?
Fang Jidong laughed and rubbed her hair, which made her irritated for a while, and he continued to laugh: "It's so boring to be serious. ”
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, I'll take a hair dryer and blow your hair off, in case you really catch a cold, I have to serve you. ”
"Forget it, I'll be done in a while, isn't it time to make breakfast? ”
Seeing Shen Yuxi's attitude as usual, although Fang Jidong was a little confused, since she didn't want to mention yesterday's incident, he didn't ask much. She has always been sensitive, and she will tell him what she wants to say before he asks. If you don't want to say something, no matter how you persuade her, you won't say a word more, and in the end, she will be unhappy, and she will quarrel if she doesn't get it right.
So the atmosphere of the two of them eating was unexpectedly harmonious, and they had a tacit understanding that they did not mention the events of last night.
Although it was a weekend, Fang Jidong still made an appointment with customers, and Shen Yuxi also asked Su Zhi to go shopping. Fang Jidong wanted to send her, but she refused a word of disappointment.
Shen Yuxi and Su Zhi walked all the way, all the way around, both of them seemed to have their own thoughts, and the usual shopaholics didn't buy anything.
I picked a random drink shop and ordered milk tea and hot cocoa. Shen Yuxi was in her mouth, she wanted to say it but she couldn't say it, it was a very unpleasant memory, every time she recalled it, it was enough to make her heart ache, but she wanted to find an outlet for catharsis, she wanted to tell Fang Jidong, but she didn't dare, she was afraid that she didn't even have the last dignity in front of him.
Before she could speak, Su Zhi looked melancholy: "Xixi, I took a leave of absence for a while, and I want to go to the United States to find Chen Jiakai." ”
Su Zhi rarely took the initiative to mention Chen Jiakai, and Shen Yuxi asked, "Why are you looking for him?"
"I want to solve the problem between us once and for all, no matter what the answer is, our relationship will come to an end, and I don't want to wait so aimlessly. ”
"Do aunts and uncles agree with you going?"
"I didn't dare tell them, I just said I wanted to go out and relax. ”
Shen Yuxi didn't know how to respond for a while, Su Zhi has always been optimistic, heartless, but emotionally very serious. She and Chen Jiakai dragged on for a few years, and Shen Yuxi once thought that they were scattered in such an unclear way, and Su Zhi was unwilling after all.
She wanted to oppose Su Zhi to take risks, but there was always no suitable reason to oppose it, and when facing love in life, she always had to be brave.
Shen Yuxi didn't tell Su Zhi his tragic story of blood, Su Zhi's own affairs were annoying enough, there was no need to add another incident to her. What's more, what can I do if I tell it, in addition to tearing open my wounds to show Su Zhi, there is one more person who is sad and sad with her, so why bother?
