Chapter 49: The City
One more
Qiao Yi listened to Qiao Shuqi's description, and for no reason, he remembered the girl who had a two-sided relationship, and unconsciously became distracted. Therefore, facial paralysis is this good, even if it is out of the mind, it can be understood as "strict thinking".
Seeing him show this expression, Qiao Shuqi was happy in his heart, Su Fanghua was anxious, and the mood of the two sisters-in-law was in the same tone at the moment - Xiao Yi was tired of Ruan Wan (Xiao Wan)!
Su Fanghua hurriedly explained: "This matter is not Xiaowan's fault, it is ......"
Qiao Shuqi interjected: "No matter who is right or wrong, you go and pick up the person first." Pity our family's wishes, they have been so miserable. β
Su Fanghua is simply a mouthful of blood -- her sister-in-law has such a ability, and just saying a word can make her chest tight for half a month, but what can she say? In the past, she let this sister-in-law do it, on the one hand, to maintain family harmony, and on the other hand, she was also forced by her mother-in-law's high pressure, and now although her mother-in-law is gone, she has become accustomed to it for so many years. Although he was depressed at the moment, he didn't say anything.
Qiao Yi was naturally aware of the contradictions between the two, but he couldn't say anything, so he just said: "Auntie, Aunt Su, don't worry, I'll go and pick them up now." β
"Xiao Yi, then please!" When Su Fanghua heard this, she was instantly relieved. She has always known that this stepson is as reliable as her husband Jingwei.
Qiao Shuqi saw the happy appearance of the "enemy", and pursed her lips disdainfully, but she didn't say anything, after all, the baby niece was still in the game, in case she was scared, she was also distressed!
At this time, Ruan Wan and Qiao Xinyuan had already finished recording the transcript. As Su Fanghua said, the fault party for this matter is not at all, if you have to find something wrong with them, it is undoubtedly too heavy, and there is a suspicion of excessive defense.
As for why Ruan Wan knew about this......
Halfway through her transcription, someone came over and whispered something to the policeman who had taken the transcript for her, and the latter exclaimed, "Shenma, almost broken?" Although the policeman quickly covered his mouth and didn't say anything, his eyes were painful and frightened at that time, and the expression on his face that looked at Ruan Wan as if he was looking at a gorilla.
Ruan Wan felt a little wronged, because she knew very well that this pot was not hers, otherwise the man would have been sent to the hospital last night. But the real "culprit" Qiao's wish is to help her grab the bag, and secondly, to learn from her, so she can't say anything, so she can only pretend not to hear this.
Moreover, she really felt that the man also deserved it.
After the two finished the transcript, they sat side by side on a bench. I have to say that although in the hearts of male policemen, these two little girls are almost equal to female tyrannosaurus, but in the hearts of female policemen, these two good-looking little girls are still very pleasing, and someone brought them two glasses of orange juice.
In Qiao Shuqi's heart, Qiao Shuqi, who was "probably scared", said to Ruan Wan beside him, "Sister, what's next?"
Ruan Wan asked suspiciously, "What's next?"
"That's the next step. Qiao Xinyi came here for the first time, and felt that everything was fresh, in her eyes, Ruan Wanna, who had been "second to the palace", must be a senior, so she asked in the spirit of "modest and cautious and not anxious", "Do I have the opportunity to say the phrase 'I won't recruit if I am killed'?"
Ruan Wan: "......"
"Sister?"
ββ¦β¦ You must enjoy watching TV. β
Qiao Xinyan blinked: "I'm fine, but my parents always like to pull me when they watch it." β
Hearing this, Ruan Wan smiled and narrowed, of course she couldn't be clearer about this matter. Qiao Jingwei likes to watch military dramas, and her mother likes to watch romance dramas, she has watched a lot of them in her previous life. As for this life, her hobby is watching dramas with her grandmother, well, both of them have a wide range of hobbies and can watch anything. And then I always comment while watching this kind of drama-
"This actor is crying too fakely. β
"It's fake. β
"This actor's hairstyle is too ugly. β
"Not everyone can hold down the spring head. β
"What's the use of crying when you encounter something like this. β
"Yes, just pick up the knife and forget it. β
β¦β¦
Qi Xuan once came to play with her and happened to hear this "extremely murderous" conversation, and the whole person was not good. However, Ruan Wan is accustomed to her grandmother, after all, although some of the plots are very exciting, people never get tired of watching them. But there are also a lot of pure thunder, every time I see these gods and gods talking to god plots, the grandparents and grandchildren feel quite painful, and they will naturally start to complain. Speaking of which, now is not the time when there are the most thunder dramas, wait until the years before her death in her last life...... Grandma will be very cheerful when she watches TV!
Ruan Wan thought about it, and suddenly thought that the "Magic Machete Thirteen Lang" they were chasing recently just ended last night, although she knew that the male protagonist would definitely be able to overthrow the boss of the end and become a generation of heroes, but she was curious about who the male protagonist chose in the end - several heroines were too heavy in makeup, and she and her grandmother didn't remember their looks too much, so they only gave them code names, namely "Purple Lips", "Chicken Feather Head" and "Sequin Skirt".
So who did you choose......
She also had a small gamble with her grandmother.
Ruan Wan, whose thoughts were getting more and more deviated unconsciously, accidentally tilted the building, until Qiao's heartfelt shout interrupted her contemplation-
"Brother, why are you here?"
Ruan Wan: "......"
She subconsciously raised her head, and sure enough, she saw Qiao Yi standing not far away, and there was a little surprise in his eyes when he looked at her. Ruan Wan looked at him for a moment before turning her head away. She didn't want to tell him her name before, not because she was afraid of anything, but because she didn't feel necessary. Even if she was known now, she didn't feel like she needed to explain anything.
Qiao Yi looked at the expression of the little girl opposite, and the doubts that had arisen in his heart before were finally answered. No wonder she has always had a strong resistance to him, it turns out that she is another daughter of Aunt Su.
"Brother?"
Qiao Yi, who was slightly stunned, came back to his senses because of Qiao's wish to run in front of him, he stretched out his hand and patted his sister's head, and said with a straight face: "It's all here, still laughing?"
"I'm doing what I did!" Qiao said unconvinced, "that man snatched my sister's bag!"
"And then?"
"And then......" said Joe, muttering in a low voice, "just kick him." That's because he stabbed me with a knife first! I was defending myself!"
"You should correct the language, it's over-defensive. Qiao Yi said lightly.
"Uh......" Qiao didn't know what to say, so he could only stick out his tongue.
Qiao Yi shook his head, although it was true that the fault of this matter was the person, he felt that it was necessary to let his sister learn a lesson. She has a lot of strength, and she loves to fight and kill since she was a child, even if she knows well, she is too indiscriminate to attack the living. If you don't do it now, you may get into big trouble in the future. cough, when he learned about the man's injury, he felt a little numb in his scalp, and secretly decided to make his wish until the importance of this matter, otherwise he would be specially ...... when he was fighting That's the end of it!
In fact, Qiao Yi's idea is not wrong.
Because the man's previous act of quickly disarming also made Qiao Xinwan awaken the skill of "Ah, it turns out that this fight is very effective!", and now as the situation becomes stricter, she silently decided to drag this skill from the "common skill column" to the "big move column". Thanks to this, a large number of men have avoided the fate of "being poisoned and leaving a psychological shadow"!
Brother Mo Ruo, Qiao's wish can almost be said to be Qiao Yi watched grow up, seeing her show a scared expression, Qiao Yi was satisfied, although his sister was spoiled and grew up, there was nothing bad about it, and she changed it when she knew her mistakes, which was much better than some girls from other families he knew. Seeing that she had learned her lesson, he no longer dwelled on this matter.
In the end, this matter can be big or small, and since he is here, the matter has already been determined. The two girls were not guilty, as for the man...... This city is the central city of China, isn't it ruining the image of the country to rob in this city, not to mention that he still uses a murder weapon in a place like a train station, and he can be as strict as he wants to do things.
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with them anymore.
"Let's go back. Qiao Yi gently patted his sister's back and got a sweet smile.
He turned his head and saw that the girl on the other side, who had not said a word since he had seen him, also stood up, apparently hearing his words.
"By the way, brother, this is my sister, that is, your sister!" Qiao Wanwan introduced seriously.
With these words, Qiao Yi and Ruan Wan's eyes met again.
Qiao Yi thought in his heart, although this girl is also Aunt Su's child, she is completely different from her wish, not Aunt Pixel, and not different from other girls. Although he didn't object to Aunt Su picking up someone before, he was also a little concerned that she might not be able to get used to this side and might not be able to get along with her wishes, but now it seems that he doesn't have to worry too much -- the previous contact and the fact that she saved her wish this time made him feel that this girl had a good character, but it was just ......
This kind of "rejecting people thousands of miles away" look is really too cold.
But in the end, it's the adult's fault.
Qiao Yi, who knew what happened back then, nodded to Ruan Wan, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he showed a smile: "You are Xiaowan, I am your brother - Qiao Yi." "He doesn't laugh very often, so when he deliberately wants to laugh, his face always looks a little stiff and ridiculous.
If in normal times, Ruan Wan could laugh when she saw such a face.
But at this moment, she just politely hooked the corners of her mouth and replied, "I'm Ruan Wan." β
His surname is Joe.
Her surname is Nguyen.
It's also funny, in his previous life, he loved to ignore her and couldn't climb high, but in this life he was very weird and kind to her. It's a pity that she's not uncommon.
In this life, she will no longer do those wrong things, and she will no longer think about what to compete with Qiao Xinyuan, but she no longer has the energy to expect to "become a family" with the Qiao family, just be strangers who know each other.
She doesn't want to wronged herself anymore.
Two more
Qiao Yi could see at a glance that although the girl in front of him was smiling, her eyes were even colder. Or rather, she had no intention of hiding it at all.
He had no experience in this situation, and even if he did, it was not the right time and place, so he led Qiao Xinyuan and Ruan Wan out of the police station and got into the car. He came by car, and Qiao Xinyuan and Ruan Wan sat in the back seat.
The car was moving quickly, and there was silence in the car.
Although Qiao Xinyuan has a naΓ―ve personality, she is not ignorant of the atmosphere, and although she does not understand where this feeling comes from, she still feels a lot of pressure. Out of a sense of responsibility, she felt that she had to save the atmosphere in the car! So she took the initiative to talk to Ruan Wan.
"Sister, have you practiced?"
Ruan Wan: What is it about "......" that gives her such feelings?
Qiao wished to make a throwing action: "You are really accurate in throwing bombs, when will you teach me!"
Ruan Wan's face was bloody, and her lips moved a few times before replying, "That's ...... Accidentally. Or should I say that the man was so unlucky that he actually met the brick with his face.
In fact, Qiao Yi also felt that she had practiced eighty percent, because when she smashed the bowl before, her head was also very good - everyone was dizzy, and the bowl was still stuck on her head.
Although this topic made Ruan Wan quite speechless, I have to say that the purpose of Qiao's wish was still achieved, and the atmosphere in the car at this moment was indeed not as tense as just now. After that, Qiao Xinwan introduced some local food and scenery to Ruan Wan along the way, and patted her chest and said that she would take her to eat and play in the next days. Ruan Wan is actually no stranger to these "characteristics" she said, but she can't express them, so she can only listen to them patiently.
Qiao Yi looked at his dancing sister through the rearview mirror...... Or should I say it's a little sister now? Her eyebrows fluttered, she seemed very happy, there was no doubt that she should like Ruan Wan's "sister" very much, but ......
The wish may not be visible, but he realized very lightly that this "big sister's" response was just polite. He originally thought that the meeting of the two sisters was just two outcomes, either falling in love or getting disgusted, but he didn't expect that there was a third situation - not liking it, not hating it - full of distance, as if facing a stranger.
Qiao Yi, who realized this, couldn't help but think of her stepmother's earnest attitude, and suddenly felt that her expectations were about to be disappointed. However, as a junior, he is not suitable to meddle in this kind of thing.
After a while, the compound where Qiao's family was located arrived.
After passing the guΓ² sentry, Qiao Yi parked the car at the parking spot of Qiao's house. When Ruan Wan pushed the car door and got out of the car with her luggage, she looked at the familiar scenery in front of her, and suddenly had a sense of dislocation in her dream at the moment.
When she first came to Qiao's house in her previous life, what she saw for the first time was also the scene in front of her. Whether it's a car parked here, a nearby lawn or a tree not far away...... All brought her a deep sense of familiarity.
"Sister, what are you doing in a daze?"
Ruan Wan suddenly came back to her senses, and then smiled.
Some things haven't changed, but some, they've changed.
For example, in her previous life, only Qiao's driver went to pick her up, for example, in her previous life, she wore a skirt mailed back by her mother, for example, in her last life, she carried not a duffel bag but a suitcase bought for her by her grandmother......
Yes, a qiΔ is already different.
"Sister, why are you in a daze again!" Qiao Xinyuan, who walked around the car to Ruan Wan's side, pulled the sleeve of the former speechlessly, "It's so hot, if you like to see here, I'll take you over to see it in the evening, let's go home first!"
Ruan Wan smiled and followed behind her without any objections.
Qiao Yi walked beside the two and remained silent.
On the way to Qiao's house, the three of them passed a small basketball court, on which many teenagers were sweating and playing in T-shirts and shorts. Someone saw Qiao Yi from a distance and shouted "Brother Qiao Yi!", and then more people greeted Qiao Yi. It can be seen that Qiao Yi, who seems to be a little talker, is not bad. In fact, it is normal, the group of "next generation" in the yard grew up together, and the relationship was originally deeper. And Qiao Yi, who is three to five years older than them, was a well-deserved "child king" when he was a child, although he doesn't mix with them much now, but the "majesty" is still there after all. Of course, his popularity is somewhat due to the Qiao family itself, after all, a teenager is not a child anymore.
Ruan Wan noticed that Shen Ziyu was also among them, and he was wearing a red jersey. I don't know if it's a coincidence, when she looked over, Shen Ziyu also happened to come over, he was stunned, and the ball in his hand was snatched away by the "opponent", and then he got a lot of complaints from his teammates. Ruan Wan looked at Shen Ershao, who had a stinky face in an instant, and turned her head to stop looking at her. Who knows if this guy will blame her for losing the ball, and why should she eat his gaze, it's really "flying from the pot unintentionally".
Just as Ruan Wan looked at the group of people, the latter naturally noticed Ruan Wan who was following Qiao Yi.
It is said that more than 20 years ago, a fortune teller approved this courtyard, saying that it was a "place where the sun was born", and it was suitable for livability and development...... This is not allowed to be said, but it is true that the youngest generation in the compound is much more numerous than women. Although it can't be said to be a "monk's temple", it's not much better. Although boys at this age don't like to play with girls, they will also secretly pay attention to other girls.
In this context, it is very normal for the "strange girl" who suddenly appeared to be noticed by them.
Not to mention, Ruan Wan is still a little conspicuous.
If most of the girls in the courtyard are from the north, then Ruan Wan is undoubtedly the "spokesperson" of Jiangnan women, in a word, - small.
Small skeleton.
Small size.
The face is small, the hands are small, and the feet are small.
Chest...... Ahem, this is a part that cannot be described!
When it comes to Jiangnan women, many people will subconsciously think of "water", there is no doubt that Ruan Wan is such a woman like water, especially those eyes, when they are clear, they are like two pills of black mercury in white mercury, and when they are hazy, they are like smoke waves, which is very moving.
And, it is no exaggeration to say that as she gets older, she is also getting more beautiful day by day. At this moment, she is wearing a clean and refreshing pink dress, and the hem of her skirt trembles slightly as she walks, like a river paddled by a small oar. Her long black hair was pulled up high because it was too hot - although it might look better with her hair draped, the weather here was much hotter than in her hometown, and Ruan Wan really didn't have masochistic tendencies, and she didn't want to get prickly heat on her neck at all.
So......
Qiao Yi saw the eyes of a group of "livestock" fall on the girl beside him, and a few strange voices coaxed-
"Brother Qiao Yi, who is this?"
"Girlfriend?"
"Hey, hey, hey......"
"It's worthy of Brother Qiao Yi!"
β¦β¦
Well, a large group of stinky boys who are strictly controlled at home and are idle and panicked now find that there is an opportunity for them to "play on the topic", and they have become bold.
Qiao Yi was speechless, looked back one by one, and found that almost all of these unlucky children were "thieves but not thieves", just fooling around. On the contrary, it was his new "big sister" who calmly surprised him. She walked on her own with a calm expression, not the slightest bit shy or nervous, as if she had not heard these words at all. Of course he didn't know, if Ruan Wan was surprised by this, it would be incredible. I think she is Ben San's age, if she will be shy because of the ridicule of a group of little children, what a dish!
Among the three, it was Qiao who couldn't bear it the most.
I saw her stop directly in front of Ruan Wan and yell at those people: "Don't bully my sister!"
ββ¦β¦ Your sister?" someone was stunned.
"Where did you come from, sister?"
"Cousin or cousin?"
"I want you to take care of it!" Qiao snorted, "if you talk nonsense again, be careful that my brother will beat you all up." Right, brother?"
Qiao Yi: "......" Of course, he couldn't beat everyone here, he just glanced at them warningly, and then said, "Let's go, Aunt Su is still waiting for you." β
After walking about a hundred meters over the basketball court, you will arrive at Qiao's house.
To be fair, Qiao's family wasn't that big, just like many of the people who lived here - just an ordinary two-story detached house. But there are some things that must never be viewed from these simple perspectives. As soon as you enter the first floor, you will find the living room, and on the far left side of the living room is a staircase up to the second floor, in the center of which are the sofas and coffee tables for entertaining guests, and on the right side, a separate space is divided into a dining room.
As soon as the three of them walked in, Su Fanghua, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up and greeted him.
"Wish, Xiaowan, are you all right?!"
She walked over and was about to grab her two daughters to take a closer look, but was squeezed away by Qiao Shuqi, who came over together. The latter hugged his niece Joe's wish and shouted with some exaggeration: "My wish baby, you have suffered!"
Su Fanghua stumbled, grabbed Ruan Wan's hand and looked it up and down. The latter lowered his eyes, let the former look at him, and said nothing. She came over this time, on the one hand, because she was afraid that her grandmother would be embarrassed, and on the other hand, she was "invited" to thank her. For the latter point, she still has resentment in her heart until now, but it is inconvenient to express it. Or it's useless to express it, because my mother has a low IQ! This is indeed the case, her appearance is a clear proof of "suffering" in Su Fanghua's eyes, her eyes turned red in an instant, and she choked up and said: "You have also suffered......"
Joe's wish: "......"
Ruan Wan: "......"
Qiao Yi: "......"
Qiao Yi simply wanted to support his forehead, so he really didn't understand anything about women. He coughed lightly, interrupting his stepmother and aunt's "bitter play" at the moment, and said, "They just made a record." β
Before Su Fanghua could say anything, Qiao Shuqi had already exploded: "My family's wishes have gone to the police station, this is still called 'that's it'?!Why are you so irresponsible as an elder brother!"
Qiao Yi: "......" He's lying down.
"Hmph!" Qiao Shuqi's spearhead was not pointed at Qiao Yi at all, he was just injured by mistake. That's right, Aunt Qiao's real hostile target is actually Ruan Wan, she snorted and said, "I haven't been in the bureau for so many years, I just went out to pick up someone and went in, and I don't know what cats and dogs are involved!"
Su Fanghua's face changed greatly.
Qiao Yi also showed disapproval.
There is no doubt that this kind of thing is not good to say in front of a child.
However, when Ruan Wan heard this, it was the same as if she hadn't heard it. In her previous life, Qiao Shuqi didn't like her, and she was used to it.
She can treat Qiao Shuqi as a stranger, but Qiao Shuqi is not happy, she let go of her niece's hand, walked up to Ruan Wan, and said with a disdainful expression: "Don't call when you see the elders, which family are you a tutor?"
Ruan Wan showed just the right expression of surprise on her face: "Elder, where is it?"
ββ¦β¦β
Su Fanghua coughed lightly and said, "Xiaowan, don't mess around, this is your aunt." β
Ruan Wan was speechless, thinking that her mother was really a professional pit teammate for three hundred years.
Qiao Shuqi originally wanted to say, "Who is her aunt!", but he felt that he had to listen to this little girl admit that she was an elder first, and then give her a "fatal blow"!
"Ah, I'm sorry, I see that she is so old, and I thought it was the maid Wu Ma you mentioned Mom. β
