Chapter 151: Happy Birthday, Brother-in-law
Tunghai University Apartment No. 5, a certain room.
Xia Xue had already fallen asleep, and suddenly her phone rang.
She rubbed her eyes and picked up her phone to look at it.
Tan Ya, who was sleeping opposite, also woke up, and she rubbed her eyes: "Who is still calling so late?"
"Well, like a phone call from the Public Security Bureau. "Summer Snow Road.
Tan Ya sat up suddenly: "What are the public security bureaus looking for you?"
Xia Xue's face was solemn: "I don't know." ”
"Pick it up, what's the situation?" Tan Ya said.
"Hmm. Xia Xue nodded.
She glanced at the screen again, then pressed the answer button.
"Hey, hello, is it Miss Xue?" a woman's voice sounded.
Xia Xue hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm Xia Xue." ”
"Your name is Xia Xue, that person only told us, your name is Xue, I thought your surname was Xue. ”
"Uh, who is that person?" and "Who are you?" Xia Xue hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"I'm sorry. We are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Your friend Tao Bao was arrested for soliciting prostitution, and he asked you to bring 1,000 yuan to the Public Security Bureau to pay a fine. The other party said.
"Oh, I see. ”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Xue turned on the bed lamp, took out her wallet and counted it.
There are only five hundred dollars left in the wallet.
"Xiaoxue, what are the Public Security Bureau looking for you?" Tan Ya said.
"Oh, a friend of mine is drunk, let me check it out. "Summer Snow Road.
Tan Ya smiled: "Xiaoxue, you are really not good at lying." That's not going to work. Lying is an essential skill for women. ”
"How?"
"It's like if you go on a business trip with a male colleague, in order not to make your husband suspicious, you have to lie and lie to your husband, saying that it is a female colleague who is on a business trip together. This is a white lie, the key to maintaining family harmony. Tanya is talking about the Tao.
"Uh, strange logic. Xia Qing paused, looked at Tan Ya again, and said, "Yaya, do you have five hundred yuan?" Lend me one. ”
"Yes. Tan Ya counted five red-haired grandfathers and handed them to Xia Xue: "Are you going out now?"
"Hmm. Xia Xue borrowed money and said while packing her things.
"It's midnight now. My dad said that good girls don't go out at night. Tanya said.
"That's what your dad said, my dad didn't say that. Xia Xue put on her clothes and shoes, took her satchel, and casually put the seagull watch she bought today in her bag: "Tanya, I'm leaving." ”
"Xiao, Xiaoxue, it's dark outside, aren't you afraid?" Tan Ya said with a nervous face.
Although Uncle Kun is an old man, he never let his daughter Tan Ya intervene in the underworld, and he disciplined Tan Ya very strictly, never letting Tan Ya spend the night outside.
Since she was a child, Tan Ya has been repeatedly instilled by her father with the concept that the night is terrifying, there are bad people, and there are lonely ghosts and wild ghosts who travel at night. After a long time, these concepts were implanted in Tanya's heart.
Even when she grows up, Tanya knows that society is not so chaotic and there are no ghosts, but she is still very afraid of the night. Generally, after zero o'clock, Tanya will never go out.
Xia Xue glanced at the night outside and said lightly, "Well, it's okay." ”
Tanya was very entangled, she bit her lip lightly, and finally turned into a touch of determination.
She stood up violently and said, "Xiaoxue, I'll go with you!"
Xia Xue patted Tan Ya's head, and then said, "Yaya, thank you." It's okay, I can do it alone. ”
After speaking, Xia Xue waved her hand and left.
Tan Ya watched Xia Xue's back disappear from view, with a faint longing on her face.
"Xiaoxue, so handsome. I'm the same age, but I feel so mature. ”
Xia Xue got out of school and took the night bus directly to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
When Xia Xue appeared in front of Tao Bao and the policewoman, the light ** policeman was obviously taken aback.
"What a beautiful girl, and her temperament is extraordinary, just like a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks in the world!"
Coupled with the 1,000 yuan brought by Xia Xue, Tao Bao finally scraped together a fine of 5,000 yuan and came out of the Public Security Bureau.
"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry, I let you go on a special trip. Because, I really can't find anyone else. Although I have a few friends in the East China Sea, I really can't talk about this kind of thing. And you're different. You are like my family, a lovely family member who can show the shameful side to you without any scruples. Tao Bao smiled.
"Oh. Xia Xue pondered a little, then turned her head to look at Tao Bao and said, "Brother-in-law, don't you have a girlfriend now?"
"Hmm...... Yes, no. Tao Bao paused, and then smiled: "But I didn't go to that kind of place because I didn't have a girlfriend." Hey, how can I say it? I've been cheated on. I didn't do anything, just took a shower, and was indiscriminately labeled as a prostitute by the police who suddenly broke in. Alas, forget it, no one believes this kind of thing. ”
"I believe it. Xia Xue said suddenly.
"Uh......"
"Because, the brother-in-law is absolutely reluctant to spend money to find the young lady. You prefer to open a room with a young woman you met at a drink, preferably with the other person's bill. Xia Xue said again.
"Uh...... Sister Xue knows me so well, my brother-in-law doesn't know what to say. Tao Bao smiled.
He collected his emotions, and then said, "Xiaoxue, money, I will pay you back as soon as possible." ”
Xia Xue shook her head: "Don't worry, I'm not short of money." Oh yes. ”
Xia Qing opened the bag, took out the seagull watch from it, and handed it to Tao Bao: "Brother-in-law, happy birthday." ”
"Uh......" Tao Bao felt a faint warm current in his heart, and he took his watch and glanced at it.
The time has been adjusted by Xia Xue.
"Well, it's past midnight, and from today, I'll be twenty-four. Tao Bao put on his watch, then looked at Xia Xue and smiled faintly: "Xia Xue, thank you." This is the first birthday present I received this year. ”
"Just a very cheap gift. Xia Xue turned around, put her hands behind her back, and said, "Brother-in-law, you may not know." I am able to stand in the city of Tokai today and study my favorite French major, all thanks to my brother-in-law. ”
"Me?" Tao Bao was slightly surprised.
Xia Xue nodded.
"Three years ago, I wanted to give up because my self-study of French took up a lot of time, which led to a huge drop in my grades, and my parents strictly forbade me to learn French again. But you came to my house to convince my parents. You run the risk of offending your parents by telling them that dreams are like angel wings, and without wings, an angel is no longer an angel, just a mortal. Because of your words, my parents agreed that I should continue to study French. That's why I was able to enter Tunghai University three years later and continue my dream. ”
"Oh, I forgot about that. Tao Bao smiled: "This is all Xiaoxue's own efforts." ”
Xia Xue remembered something, and said again: "That's right, brother-in-law." The French classic "The Count of Monte Cristo", which I participated in translating, is about to be published, and I will give you a set when the time comes. ”
"Wow! that's amazing!" Tao Bao gave a thumbs up.
"I'm just involved in translation, more of an assistant's corner. Xia Xue paused, looked at the twinkling stars in the night, and said with a resolute gaze: "One day, I will ** complete the translation of "The Count of Monte Cristo". ”
Tao Bao looked at Xia Xue quietly.
Six years ago, when he first saw Xia Xue, she was only 13 years old reading the all-French version of "The Count of Monte Cristo", and there was a "Chinese-French Dictionary" next to her, and her expression was focused, as if she had forgotten anything else in the world.
At that time, he felt that this kid was very powerful.
As it turned out, he was not wrong in his vision.
Xia Xue, this kid, is really very powerful.
"What's wrong? brother-in-law. Xia Xue turned around, blinked, and said.
Tao Bao smiled: "Well, I'm thinking, not a very top man is not worthy of our Xia Xue at all." ”
"Uh......"... Friends who read books, you can search for "", you can find this site as soon as possible.
