Chapter 41: The City
"Boom!"
The sudden loud thunder made everyone in the room feel a shock in their ears. And the shock it brought to Ruan Wan was far less than what her mother had just said to her.
"I went to high school...... Live with me......"
The staccato words continued to echo in her ears.
She had heard this sentence in her previous life, from her mother's mouth. At that time, she felt ecstatic, but now she only feels thunder on a sunny day...... No, maybe it's a thunderbolt. It's just that my grandmother has always had a negative opinion on this matter in my previous life, but what about this time?
Ruan Wan subconsciously turned her head, she looked at her grandmother, wanting to see the latter's mouth spit out words of opposition. However, to her disappointment, her grandmother didn't say anything.
Mom and Grandma avoided what they were talking about, and this was it?
Why did my grandmother say yes...... How could it be possible!
The thunder outside was louder, and every lightning bolt seemed to hit the ground and splash sparks. On the contrary, Ruan Wan's heart gradually cooled down. She must not know what kind of cold eyes she is showing at this moment - the scarred and gray heart of the previous life has been wrapped in a lot of warmth since she was reborn, and at this moment, because of this sudden impact, the outer skin has accidentally fallen off a little, and those negative feelings that have been sealed in the dust for a long time have naturally been revealed along her eyes.
It is an empty and lonely look, there is no joy or sorrow, so desolate that it seems that there is nothing......
This is the look that only people who have lost a qiē have.
But she is clearly just a child who has just started her life......
Grandma looked at Ruan Wan like this, her heart sank, her lips trembled slightly, and finally said, "Fanghua, you take the two children to change their clothes." ”
Because of the angle, Su Fanghua didn't see Ruan Wan's eyes, she was just slightly stunned: "Mom, my wish and Ziyu's clothes are not ......."
"Go!" Grandma whispered, her words indiscerning a command.
Su Fanghua subconsciously shook her shoulders, and the instinct she had cultivated in the past few years was to tell her that whenever her mother spoke like this, it was best not to disobey her. In addition, her personality is naturally submissive, so she didn't say anything more, and only whispered to Qiao Xinyuan and Shen Ziyu to leave with her.
In fact, neither Qiao Xinyuan nor Shen Ziyu's clothes were much wet, and they didn't need to be changed at all. But none of them objected, because ...... They also saw Ruan Wan's eyes. They still don't understand the meaning of that look at all, they just think it's very poignant, very sad, and just looking at it makes people can't help but feel sad. Especially Qiao's wish, she was originally very happy to hear what her mother said, but now, she can't be happy no matter what.
After a while, the other three retreated, leaving only Grandma and Ruan Wan in the main hall.
Ruan Wan asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it true?"
She only felt aggrieved.
Aren't you good enough?
Haven't you done well enough since you were born again?
Why didn't her grandmother who didn't agree with her leaving in her previous life, but she readily agreed in this life.
Why!
Grandma silently looked at Ruan Wan for a moment, her expression a little tired: "Xiao Wan......"
"Isn't it?" Ruan Wan raised her voice with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, "Is it true?"
Ruan Wan didn't know why she was talking like this, or she knew that she shouldn't have spoken to her grandmother like this, but she had already been accused, and she was accused of the coldness, anger, and sadness that suddenly appeared and quickly filled her body, and she couldn't wait to sneer, and couldn't wait to say anything, and she couldn't wait to stab the people she could see!
This feeling is all too familiar to her.
Because I felt it all the time in my previous life, and every time this feeling broke out, the result was terrible. At this moment, she inadvertently saw her reflection on the glass cabinet, and naturally, she saw her eyes at the moment.
She was looking at her grandmother with that look......
Grandma saw the look in her eyes now......
I saw what she had done her best to hide, to forget, and to replace since she was reborn.
This realization made her suddenly feel extremely cold.
In the next second, she turned around abruptly and rushed into the rain curtain without looking back.
The thunder roared, the lightning was dazzling, Ruan Wan stumbled, she didn't know how long she had been running, and she didn't know how many times she had fallen halfway. When she stopped, she realized that she was standing far away from home. She stood in the rain in a daze, letting it drench her body and mind, and gradually calmed down, and her heart slowly cooled.
The reason why she can calmly face her mother, Qiao Xinyuan and Shen Ziyu today is just because she feels that she will not have anything too deep to do with them. She is different, she has embarked on a completely different path than in her previous life. But then, fate told her what it means to be cruel. She tried so hard to go down the other path, but it gave her a stroke of genius and sent her back to the original path.
So, she inevitably lost her temper.
If this news is not from the mother herself, if she is given enough time to calm down, if ...... Maybe it's not as big as it was just now. But Yiqiē is so coincidental, so clever that people are caught off guard, and she has finally done something wrong again.
Obviously, she could directly open her mouth to refuse, but she actually turned a qiē like this......
Ruan Wan staggered a few steps, leaned against the wall beside her, and squatted down with her knees hugged, her eyes full of confusion.
was seen......
She showed her grandmother the worst side.
In her previous life, my grandmother was overhit by the things she did, and in a trance, she was in the fire with the house......
She obviously thought that she would never let this kind of thing happen again in this life!
And yet still......
Grandma didn't want her anymore, so she should have made up her mind more now, right?
Ruan Wan thought of this and whimpered lowly. She hadn't cried for a long time since she was reborn, but now, she wanted to cry properly. So, she buried her head in her arms and cried uncontrollably. Anyway, the thunder is so heavy and the rain is so heavy, no one will hear it, and she won't disturb anyone.
And so it was, because the rain was so heavy that it showed no signs of stopping. It is densely connected to heaven and earth, and it is also like an invisible cage, locking Ruan Wan into it like this.
In such weather, Qi Xuan strode home with an umbrella, still carrying a soy sauce bottle in his hand. He was also really unlucky, as soon as he came back in the morning, he was sent out of the house by his mother and grandmother to make soy sauce. As a result, they met their friends in the store, and the two of them played happily a few times...... More than a dozen times...... Ahem, well, it's dozens of "Little Overlord" game consoles, and I can only hear lightning and thunder outside. Qi Xuan then remembered that his grandmother and mother seemed to be still waiting for him to cook with soy sauce...... So he didn't have time to wait for the rain to stop, so he borrowed an umbrella and ran home.
At first, he was running in small steps, but then he realized that on such a rainy day, there was not much difference between holding an umbrella and not holding it. Well, there's a difference - the difference between a dog with an umbrella and a dog without an umbrella - it's all drenched dogs anyway!
He trembled as he ran, the umbrella was a bit old, the tip of the umbrella was metal instead of plastic, and the handle was still a little broken...... If he accidentally acts as a lightning rod, he'll be finished! Thinking that he is so young and handsome, if he hangs here, it will be a big loss! Mom and grandma will cry and faint in the toilet!
Qi Xuan's heart kept popping up with all kinds of thoughts, and while thinking wildly, he ran desperately.
It would have been nice to know that they would have avoided the rain for a while and then go home, anyway, they had waited so long, and it wasn't bad for a while......
I would have gotten a new umbrella if I had known......
That little lump poking on the side of the road was a bit like Ruan Wan's guy......
But how is that possible...... Hey?
Wait a minute!
Qi Xuan braked suddenly, took a few steps back, turned his head, and his eyes fell straight to the side of the road.
As the rain was pouring down, there was a young girl squatting on the side of the road, she was wearing a pale pink dress, the style seemed quite old, but it was not sudden. At this moment, her face was buried in her arms, and her black hair like a waterfall slid down her clothes, and the ends of her hair even fell to the ground-Qi Xuan felt that this scene was beautiful like a painting on the one hand, but on the other hand, she inexplicably had a little more brain, look, under the lightning and thunder, the girl slowly raised her head, dwelling, ran, full, face, head, hair!
Well, he was rightly frightened by himself.
He took a step back, stretched out his hand and patted his little liver, looked left and right, and secretly said that it was fortunate that no one saw him, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
Then he cautiously walked to the side of the girl by the wall, held an umbrella and asked in a low voice, "Ruan Wan, is that you?"
Qi Xuan didn't get any response, but he was completely sure that this person was Ruan Wan. He squatted down, holding an umbrella for her, and asked, "Why are you here?"
“……”
"Why don't you go home when it's raining?" Qi Xuan didn't care if there was a response or not—anyway, Ruan Wan would occasionally ignore him—and said to himself, babbling to himself, "Did you fall? Do you want me to send you back?" If you haven't returned home on such a rainy day, Grandma Su will be worried. ”
None of his other words had any effect, except for the last one......
It's like a key to unlock a lock.
Ruan Wan, who had no reaction to external things, suddenly raised her head and instinctively looked at Qi Xuan, who was talking about her grandmother to herself. The latter was startled at first, only to realize that when Ruan Wan raised her head, she was still Ruan Wan, and she had not turned into a female ghost with hair all over her face, and this realization made him greatly relieved. Then, he realized that Ruan Wan's state was not quite right.
