Chapter 176: Husband and Wife
At about eleven o'clock in the morning, it suddenly began to drizzle, Zhang Xingchen's painting had not been painted, so he had to hurriedly collect his things and go back to the house.
"Let's just start painting tomorrow!" I reassured him.
"I had a bunch of plans, but they all stopped because of the rain. He scratched his hair and said.
I'm very thankful for this rain, I like to hide in the house on a rainy day, sleep, dream, listen to the rain, there is nothing more pleasant.
I love this rain to death.
"You seem to be very happy?" Zhang Xingchen glared at me and said, "You're gloating, aren't you?"
I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, how could it be." ”
"I see you're snickering. Zhang Xingchen looked at me with disgust, stared at me for a long time, and then said, "Lu Xiaochao, to be honest, do you like rain at all?"
"Hmm. I smiled and nodded.
Zhang Xingchen looked at me in surprise, pursed his mouth, and said with a very dissatisfied look: "How did you change so much, who emphasized to me back then that he hated rain and snow?"
"Do you remember?" I asked, laughing.
"Do you remember......" he learned my tone, his face was dissatisfied, and his tone was full of accusations: "You have forgotten, there is no righteousness." ”
"From the moment you said you wanted to hold an umbrella with me on a rainy day, I loved rainy days. I said with a sense of confidence.
Zhang Xingchen's face was cloudy and clear, he pinched my cheek, grinned, and said, "Good boy." ”
I couldn't laugh or cry, I really didn't understand how he could suddenly come up with such a word, in his eyes I was a child?
I looked around his room. The easel and the pile of miscellaneous things were piled up under his bookshelf, which looked a little messy, and there was a cardboard storage box next to it, which looked a little familiar, so I asked him, "Did I also move that box from there?"
His eyes looked a little cramped, and then he denied it: "No." That's my stuff, and you're not allowed to rummage through it. ”
I looked at him suspiciously for a moment, then didn't pursue anything further, and then went out of his room, and after a while, he came out, with his wallet in his hand, and then looked everywhere in the living room.
"What are you looking for?" I half-leaned back on the couch, a little tired. Hearing the movement, he lifted his eyelids and asked him.
"Do you see the umbrella?" he asked.
"Are you going out?" I sat up straight, why should I go out on a good rainy day, I don't want to go out, and I don't want to be alone. The rainy day is hell, it's a mess everywhere, people come and go, and it's not at all pleasant.
"Hmm. We're going to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, and there are customers in the evening. Have you forgotten?" he was not ambiguous at all, and he didn't ask my opinion, just "us".
"I don't want to go. I begged.
"No, I can't. He refused, then turned around and continued to look for an umbrella, looking for something, and did not tell me, "You go back to your room and put on your coat." It's cold outside, put on your gloves and scarf, and put on the pair of snow boots I bought for you!"
"Bad old man. I muttered under my breath.
He had excellent hearing and immediately straightened up. turned to look at me with a threatening expression: "Lu Xiaochao, I heard it." ”
"Oh. I buried my head and got up and walked to my room.
"Lu Xiaochao, if you don't have me by your side, you will know that you are powerful. "He was still behind me.
This sentence made me almost cry.
Yes, if Lu Xiaochao doesn't have Zhang Xingchen, what will Lu Xiaochao do?
When I got dressed and came out, Zhang Xingchen smiled harmlessly, and he said, "Lu Xiaochao, we have to buy an umbrella." ”
"Don't you have an umbrella at home?" I stumbled after him, carrying his snow boots, and complained, "It's going to get wet." ”
"Nonsense, that shopping guide clearly told me that it wouldn't get into the water!" he retorted eloquently.
I sat down on the shoe-changing bench by the entrance and reluctantly put on my snow boots, he looked very excited, and as soon as I was dressed, he proudly asked for credit: "How's it, the yardage is not wrong!"
I nodded.
"Is it warm?" he asked again.
I nodded again, and saw that he was wearing the knee-length black coat, no scarf, no gloves.
"You're not cold?"
"It's not cold. Zhang Xingchen smiled at me meaningfully: "I am full of blood every day, how can it be cold." ”
"What do you mean?" I asked.
He just smiled and didn't speak, opened the door, and took me by the hand and walked out.
"Go by car, I don't want to get wet. "I'm so scared of his whims, walking in the rain or something, I'm not interested at all, I'm afraid of the cold.
He glanced back at me and suddenly realized: "Yes, just drive, no umbrella." ”
Once in the car, I complained all the way, "We haven't had lunch yet, I'm hungry." ”
Zhang Xingchen was a little annoyed by my reading, and shouted loudly, complaining about the sudden rain: "I'll just say it, when it rains, all plans are messed up." …… You still don't like rainy days, it's a little difficult for me to sing with my wife. ”
How could it be? With him, for me, rain or shine, it's all good.
At the end, a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he held mine with one free hand, and said for a while: "Lu Xiaochao, the woman sings and the husband follows, do you want to wander with me?"
My heart tightened, and my throat tightened.
He took my hand, tightened it as if comfortingly, and said casually and to himself, "I'm too greedy, right? ”
"Good. I said.
He turned his face to look at me, but immediately looked back straight ahead.
The car swam on the wet asphalt road, the sound of the wheels running over the road, listening to the heart of a little itchy pain, my hand was held by him in the palm of his hand, suddenly I hope that this road can be extended endlessly, until the old land, to the wilderness.
He took me to the Chinese restaurant on Nikko Road, where he was at the time. He admitted that he and Qin Jiami had already obtained a marriage certificate, and when he walked into the store at this time, there was always an illusion of a different life, as if everything at this moment was the afterlife that he had been looking forward to in his previous life, and I finally got my wish. Holding Zhang Xingchen's hand, holding my only unchanging love in my past life, this life and future life.
I think, it's not that I really can't forget Zhang Xingchen, it's that I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to forget him, it's daunting to me than the severing of bones and all the torture in this world.
I seem to have gradually gotten used to the strange eyes and discussions around me when I was with Zhang Xingchen. Zhang Xingchen did not choose a remote and quiet private room, but chose to dine in the hall, which, in his words, was generous.
I can still hear the girls at the next table talking without shying away: "It shouldn't be a girlfriend, it should be a sister, and she looks a little alike!"
"Very caring brother, if only I had such a brother, so handsome!"
"yes. yes, if I had such an older brother. I'd like to cripple my legs!"
"Wait a minute, go ask for your mobile phone number!"
"Don't don't, it's a shame!"
I was supposed to be angry, but I almost laughed.
It's not a pity to be a brother like Zhang Xingchen, to be honest, I have felt sorry for him countless times when he likes me.
Zhang Xingchen said to go to the bathroom. And he got up and left.
That is, taking advantage of this gap, a few girls who had just been talking generously came over and surrounded me.
"Excuse me, is that your brother just now?" one of the girls asked.
"Then may I ask, does your brother have a girlfriend?"
I immediately remembered the two junior high school alumni I met when I went out to watch a movie with Zhang Xingchen that day. That's pretty much what they asked me that day.
Like a coward, I just nodded and nodded again.
I've really heard enough of those words, when I was in junior high school, because of Wang Yifan, many little girls who liked Wang Yifan would say this, "Lu Xiaochao, you are just a cripple, why do you climb high branches, why do you like him, you win the sympathy of others like this, do you think you will get love?......
You're shameless.
You are not ashamed. ……
……”
In fact, I know that when I turn my back, I can almost say a thousand or ten thousand words to refute them, and I am quietly cheering myself up every time, and next time, next time I will definitely refute them with confidence, and I will definitely be able to hit the nail on the head and make them speechless.
But each time I just nodded silently, shook my head, or nodded.
The humble appearance makes me feel sick to myself.
If I loudly contradict these girls in such a public place, will they also humiliate me like this?
"He has a girlfriend. "I don't make a big noise, but at least I hear it.
"What?" I don't know if they really didn't hear clearly, so I asked again.
"He's not my brother. "If I show some courage, maybe I can say it better.
"Not your brother?" said the girl in amazement, "but you really look alike!"
I almost burst out laughing.
Is this a compliment on my face? Zhang Xingchen's beauty is what he is most proud of, I don't know if he will be annoyed and angry when he hears it......
"That's husband and wife. "I puffed out my cheeks, and in my heart I confessed this lie to myself countless times like Jesus.
Husband and wife.
I was almost amused by myself, and I swore that "his surname is Zhang, my surname is Lu, not brother and sister." ”
The girls went back to their desks in a huff that was much more peaceful than I had imagined, and I was almost flattered.
When Zhang Xingchen came back, he saw that I was smiling a little and his eyebrows were dancing, so he asked me, "What's so happy?"
I shook my head and couldn't help laughing.
Until now, I still have the urge to rush home to avoid the crowd, but it is not as strong and urgent as before.
Come to think of it, either it was true that I met someone unladylike when I was in junior high school, or maybe everyone was young at that time and was not so mature enough to take care of me.
"Really?" he asked again.
I nodded, and then laughed: "People say we look alike." ”
Zhang Xingchen's face was really wrinkled, and he pointed to my face and said, "Where? I'm so handsome, where is your face with me?"
"I know you've been wronged. "I just laughed.
Zhang Xingchen glanced at the girls at the next table who kept paying attention to us, and then narrowed his eyes with a smile and said, "Count them as having vision." ”
I looked at him in amazement, and then he leaned over, put his hands on my ears, and said a word.
He covered my ears, but he spoke so loudly that I could hear it.
He said: Lu Xiaochao, I love you.
There was screaming all around. (To be continued......)
