Chapter 70: The Bird Enters the Cage
"Guiyun Pavilion is opened by my family. Cheng Xiao said lightly, and naturally sat next to Babao, opposite me, so as to completely block Babao's escape route.
Babao turned his head and saw Cheng Xiao, not in a hurry, but said, "Yo, you're here." β
"I, I mean, why are you here now?" I sat down, my brain turned, and secretly reached out and pinched the thigh of soy sauce under the table.
"What do you say?" Cheng Xiao leaned back on the back of the chair for a long time, moved the chair back a few centimeters, and stuck the gap behind it, probably to prevent Babao from escaping, "We just took a selfie in the circle of friends at noon, and all the people up and down my family have enlarged your photos and seen them eight hundred times, and it is estimated that they know better than you know what you look like and what clothes you wear." As soon as you walked in the door, my second aunt sent me a message telling me that you were here. β
Throwing myself into the net and the bird into the cage is just like that, I covered my face with my hands, leaned on the shoulders of the soy sauce, and the gap between my ten fingers was exposed, and I secretly watched Cheng Xiao's reaction.
"If you want to rely on your husband," Soy Sauce pushed me away in disgust, she supported her chin with her hands, and stared at Cheng Xiao with her eyes blinking, "Chasing your wife for thousands of miles, isn't it fun?"
Cheng Xiao thought about it seriously and replied: "It's fun, it's fun and fun, the taxi ticket plus the high-speed rail ticket, plus more than an hour of thousands of miles of travel, is really novel." A few more times next time, I'll get used to it. β
I pretended to cry, and wiped two non-existent tears with the back of my hand, Cheng Xiao saw me teasing and laughed.
I saw that the left side of his face was flushed and there were three blood marks on his right arm, so I couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with your face?"
"I was beaten by Mother Sun. Cheng Xiao replied nonchalantly.
"Ah, why did my mother even beat you?" Babao instantly stopped playing the game, his face was heavy, and he looked left and right, as if he wanted to escape, "How did you all meet each other." β
"It's a long story. Cheng Xiao said with a smile, unwilling to give way to Babao.
"Then you'll make a long story short. β
The three of us said this old stalk in unison, and Cheng Xiao said badly: "Do you know that foreign customs, saying the same sentence together is bad luck." β
"My bad luck hasn't stopped. Babao howled to the sky, and continued to play the game with his head bowed in resignation, as if it was none of his business.
"I went to the office in the afternoon to hand in the paper record sheet and went downstairs, and happened to hear a lot of noise on the second floor, so I went to join in the fun with a curiosity. It doesn't matter if I look at this, I happened to see an aunt crying in front of the counselor, and I heard the crowd next to me say that it was Sun Xinchen's mother, and then I thought of the message sent by Xiao Baibai and me, and I guessed most of it. β
"Why did he start calling you Xiaobaibai?" Soy Sauce exchanged words with me, and I shrugged my shoulders and didn't answer.
"Are you here to be a lobbyist, or are you here to be cannon fodder in the vanguard? What about my mother, was she sent to the police station by the counselor?" (I muttered to Soy Sauce, didn't you really receive a ventilation message from Soy Sauce?)" Babao finished a game, and he didn't know whether he won or lost, so he simply threw his mobile phone on the table, breaking the jar and breaking it.
"As a lobbyist, of course. Cheng Xiao said in a calm tone, "However, I am a lobbyist at both ends, and I talked to the counselors about it, so that Mother Sun calmed down and stopped making noise, and decided to get you back first." β
"I think the counselor is afraid that he will get into trouble by taking matters into his own hands (giving him a diploma), so he is so concerned. "Eight Treasures hummed.
"Don't say that, we also tried our best to get your mother to sign an agreement, one is to return your graduation certificate, the other is to wait for you to go back and no longer pursue the past, and the third is to let you choose your career freely after graduation, sign and draw, how about this?" Cheng Xiao took out a piece of horizontal paper with the school's letterhead printed on it from the pocket of the chef's uniform and handed it to Babao.
This truth is definitely not easier than what he said, otherwise he would not have been slapped and scratched a few marks, but in front of Babao, I don't want to ask, I just want to trick her back first.
"Is that true?" Babao's eyes lit up instantly.
"Of course. β
"Wow, you're so awesome, your mother's hard bones have been gnawed off by you!" Babao looked at me and raised his little hand, "Shall I apply to hug him?"
"Ahem," I coughed lightly, and Shi Shiran waved his hand, "You feel free." β
Soy sauce tilted his head to look at me, and saw that I was a little displeased, so he said, "Then, I'll also apply for a hug, okay?"
I was amused by that guy, and said to Cheng Xiao: "Then I will be reluctant to make it difficult, can I apply for a hug?"
"Don't apply, come here and I'll hug you. β
"Oh oh oh-" The two little girls coaxed, and the soy sauce pushed me out of my seat, and I caught a glimpse of the eldest sister and the proprietress who were hiding at the corner of the stairs, sneaking towards us, and their faces turned red. I staggered up to him, as if to be heroic, leaned down, hugged him like a grandson, and touched his head.
"I think, Xiao Lizi, you might as well hug him on behalf of the two of us, and you have to hug him twice more to be fair. Soy sauce suggested.
"Save it, save it, save it. I sat back in my seat, my face flushed.
"Don't keep it, forget it later. I'll go to the toilet and you talk slowly. Babao glanced at Cheng Xiao, "I'm really in a hurry, can you let me go?"
Soy sauce also stood up, "I want to go to the toilet too, let's go together." β
The soy sauce is so implied that Cheng Xiao didn't understand it, he got up happily and made way for Babao. The soy sauce warmly grabbed Babao's hand, and the two went to the toilet in pairs to go to Liao.
The eldest sister came over, helped us take away the dishes, wiped the table, looked at me meaningfully, didn't say anything, and walked away.
"Aren't you afraid that the Eight Treasures will slip away?" I said, blushing.
"That's not all, the exhaust window in my toilet is very small, just to prevent people from jumping out of it to escape," he joked with me, casually shaking in the direction of the toilet, not necessarily as sure as he said, "If you want to escape half of the date, you can't do it." β
I laughed very shamefully.
"Why do you girls like to go to the toilet together so much? He sat back down.
"Girls still like to take a bath together, so you boys can go together. I picked up the glass and deliberately looked at the chrysanthemums that were spreading out in the cup.
"Ahem, the function is different, it's strange to the eyes," he asked, "how are the cats in the house good when you run out like this." β
"Before I went out, I saw that there was enough food and water, and there was a small crack in the window. As long as it's not the dormitory aunt who kills a horse pistol, or the hot sauce comes back, it will be home alone, and it will be fine. What about you? Benny has entrusted Ziyan to take care of?"
"yes, yes, babysitter. He said shamelessly and grabbed my hand, "Why did you follow Sun Xinchen to mess around and follow him to Hangzhou." β
"Ah, I didn't want to come in the first place, but I was afraid that she would really disappear without a trace. β
"If you don't want to come, you don't want to come, why don't you explain your intentions, and follow all the way to Hangzhou. What's the matter, do you still want to follow all the way to Guangzhou? Whatever you think in the future, just say it, don't let everyone follow the crowd and be taken to the ditch. β
I was so aggrieved that I pretended to cry, but isn't it, let alone Guangzhou, even Tibet gritted my teeth, and he really understands my personality of pushing the boat down the river.
I suddenly remembered Haruki Murakami's words - you have to be a quiet adult. Don't be emotional, don't secretly miss, don't look back. to live another life of your own. You have to be obedient, not all fish will live in the same sea.
He was so frightened that he quickly pulled out a tissue for me, not wanting me to move my hand away, where there would be traces of crying.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about you," he said embarrassedly, "Well, our food is delicious." β
"Delicious, delicious, come back next time. I nodded solemnly.
"I'll give you a free order. He smiled, looked at me, and finally found a trace of vegetable stains, wiped them for me, rubbed the napkin, and threw it into the small trash can on the side, as if he had completed a mission, fake serious, very interesting.
"Why haven't I heard you mention it before? I asked curiously.
"Didn't we know each other on the first day, how could we expose the old bottom to you?"
Ahh
Seeing that I was angry with my cheeks, he hooked his fingers and motioned for me to come over, and I obediently stretched my neck.
He whispered to me: "At the end of Shinong Gonggong, one of our family is a catering, what is there to show off. When I was a child, I saw that the parents of other children sat in the office, so I didn't have to show my face, I stood there for a day to welcome customers, pull goods, wash vegetables and stir-fry vegetables, how envious. Until high school, he was still so brazen, feeling that his family was indebted, and he refused to talk to his family well. I was inspired to get into a good university, and then I was admitted to graduate school, to be a company executive, and to honor my ancestors. β
I felt gloomy in my heart, it turned out that he also had such a rebellious teenage age.
He touched my cheek and sighed: "But in the past two years of living by myself, I have understood the suffering of my family. Now that I think about it, the food is also very good, at least I can see the happy smiles on the faces of the diners, and I can see your satisfied looks, and I am already satisfied. β
"Oh......" I thought for a moment, "so that's what you meant when you said to help the family cook." "I guess it's been a busy day, and I blame him for forgetting to contact me, which is really embarrassing.
Just when I wanted to kiss him, the two little girls walked back with a smile, and when they saw that the two of us were very close, they quickly retreated to the toilet again.
"You guys come back to meβ" I clenched my fists, resisting the urge to stand up and tug at their collars.
