Chapter 56: The City

One more

Not long after, Ruan Wan and Qiao Xinwan got a freshly boiled egg by themselves, Ruan Wan took it and gently rolled it around her eyes - in fact, she didn't need it at all, she was very restrained when she cried, her eyes were just slightly red, and it would be fine after a while. In stark contrast to her, Joe's eyes were swollen like a peach injected with hormones, which was really miserable.

When external contradictions are resolved, internal contradictions are naturally exposed.

Qiao Xinwan didn't forget that she was almost beaten by her own mother just now, and the grievances in her heart could not be dissipated for a while, so she puffed out her face and refused to deal with Su Fanghua.

Ruan Wan ignored Su Fanghua's gaze, she just wanted to go home now - it's cool to tear up, right...... Cough! (Ruan Wan confessed for a second), but she has only been here for a day, and even tearing it up several times is too hard. Sure enough, it's better for ordinary people like her to honestly go back to the countryside to live. Moreover, Wu's mother's craftsmanship is really inferior to her grandmother.

She walked on her own, and at some point Su Fanghua and Wu's mother left the living room one after another, Qiao asked Qiao Yi willingly: "Brother, what did you just ask us for?" ”

"Grandpa asked me to take you out for a walk." Qiao Yi replied, "Is there anything special you want to visit?" ”

"Hmm......" Qiao wished to stuff the egg that had rubbed his eyes into his mouth, and after the three of them ate it, they naturally picked up the egg in front of Ruan Wan and stuffed it into their mouths, and after thinking about it carefully, they replied, "Riding a horse?" ”

"Horseback riding this weather?" Qiao Yi was very speechless about this.

"Barbecue? Dance? Sing? Qiao Xinyuan proposed new yΓ¬ one after another, and then showed a disgusted expression, "In the end, forget about this, brother, you sing out of tune." No wonder you don't have a girlfriend! ”

"......" Qiao Yi, who has been hit N times in a row today, burst out of a green vein on his forehead, "What the hell?" ”

Qiao Xinyuan looked at his brother who obviously blackened his face, and very wisely stopped provoking, blinked and said, "Let's go out and have a look first." ”

Ruan Wan didn't really want to go out to play, but thinking about the experience from yesterday to today, she felt that staying at Qiao's house was not an "insurance choice". In contrast, she would rather go out for a walk.

"Then it was so happily decided!" Qiao Xinqiao stood up and was about to rush to the door, and then saw that Ruan Wan was actually walking towards the room, she asked strangely, "Sister, what are you going to get back?" ”

Ruan Wan lifted the hem of her skirt: "Change clothes." She hadn't forgotten how someone had cried over her dress.

The disgusted Joe Wish burst into tears.

Considering that she was going out, Ruan Wan changed into casual clothes, but this one was not made by her grandmother, but given by her uncle and grandfather - well, among the dozens of sets of clothes that her uncle and grandfather gave her, it was rare to be able to wear them! I still remember that at the beginning, when she said, "This set is good", my uncle and grandfather clenched their fists and almost burst into tears. Ruan Wan has always liked light-colored, warm-colored and solid-colored clothing, for example, the top of this outfit is a pure white suspender bat shirt, the waist is tucked up with a thin bead chain, the length of the hem is uneven, the cropped pants are light blue, the style is very simple, except for a circle of white hem at the hem, there is no extra decoration.

She looked in the mirror, removed the hair plug that didn't match the dress, combed the long hair that had fallen into a high ponytail, found a decorative bracelet with a ring to tie it to her left wrist, and changed into a pair of summer sneakersβ€”and her uncle clenched his fists again and burst into tears.

She changed her clothes quickly, and when she went out, Joe had only eaten half of her ice cream. The latter circled around Ruan Wan three times with an ice-cream stick in his mouth and gave a thumbs up.

When going out this time, it was still Qiao Yi who drove, and Ruan Wan and Qiao were willing to sit in the back row. Qiao Yi looked through the rearview mirror and saw Qiao Xinyuan, who was crying miserably and almost summoning the wolf an hour ago, giggling at this time, except for his eyes, he couldn't see any traces of his previous "struggle"; As for the other little girl...... Well, with a calm face, I can't see any signs of "blackening people so much" just now. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: A creature like a woman is really terrible in some ways, no wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend.

…… Wait a minute.

Qiao Yi's face darkened again, this time, he was angry with himself.

City A is notoriously crowded with people, even in the hot summer. In the absence of a clear goal, the car starts and stops, and even enjoys the taste of "street parking lot" on the way - even though the air conditioning is on in the car, it is also very uncomfortable to keep doing so. So, when passing by the "Central Music Square", Qiao Yi finally found a place to park, so he decided to take them to have lunch nearby.

The "Music Square", as the name suggests, is definitely a neighborhood where music is indispensable. This is true, but Ruan Wan remembers very well that over time, after a few years, it gradually became a coser gathering place and a comic convention center, and one of her roommates who was obsessed with these things in college would often come here on weekends to hang out all day. But right now, most of the people gathered here are small bands.

In other seasons, there are still people in the square at noon, but unfortunately it is summer, so the band members do not gather until the evening. Of course, there are also bands that will be stationed in nearby restaurants and bars, such as those for three. However, Ruan Wan doesn't have a special love for music, although she thinks that the female singer sings well, but she doesn't have the urge to linger, and the other two are the same. So after the meal, the three of them left normally.

"Huh? Look over there! ”

Ruan Wan looked in the direction of Qiao's wish finger and was surprised to find that there was actually a band in the square.

Under the scorching sun, the new band members took up a place in a slightly shady spot on the side of the square and began to install the equipment they had brought with them - their facilities were rudimentary, so they were quickly installed.

"Their hair is exactly five colors!" Joe counted with a wish, "Red, yellow, blue, green, purple." …… Gourd baby? ”

Ruan Wan didn't care too much about this - after all, this kind of killing Matt style was popular these days, but what made her care was ...... Why does one of them look so familiar?!

Right now......

The band began to try microphones, and then the "colorful army" just chatted with microphones.

"It's hot."

"yes, yes, it's really hot."

"Can't you really come back in the evening?"

"Stupid! Now is the time for us to make a big splash! Maybe there's a scout nearby! The last sentence sounded triumphant, "As the saying goes, a hard afternoon, a lifetime of happiness." ”

Joe laughed out loud as soon as he wished to "poof".

Qiao Yi also shook his head and smiled.

And Ruan Wan ......

Her face darkened with a "swoop".

Because, she could already hear who this voice belonged to.

But the little green hair, who had his back to her, still didn't know anything about it, and was holding the microphone excitedly and howling, suspiciously excited. The people around him applauded him very much.

"Boss, sing well!"

"Boss, well done!"

"Astringent! Astringent everyone! The little green hair imitates the "thank you" of a local singer, which is called a sè.

Ruan Wan twitched the corners of her eyes, raised her feet and walked towards the place where the people were. And her action was quickly captured by the orchestra members next to Little Green Hair-

"Boss, there's a sister paper coming towards us!" One of the members said in a "self-righteous] low voice.

"It can't be our fan, right?"

"Quite possibly!"

"Huh? Boss, she's been looking at you, she can't be a crush on you! ”

The little green hair smiled, and said coldly and nobly, "Don't be obsessed with brother, brother is a legend", and then, he turned his head in a posture of [self-thought] very handsome and cool. The moment he saw Ruan Wan, his eyes widened, and then he instinctively let out a cry, "!" The microphone in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", startling the friends around him.

Ruan Wan narrowed her eyes and looked at the guy who was rubbing her eyes desperately not far away, and smiled softly. But what she didn't expect was that the guy's first reaction was actually - let out a scream and turned and ran, almost like a ghost.

Ruan Wan: "......" What a deep psychological shadow she left on this guy! After gritting her teeth, she raised her voice and said, "Qi Xuan, you stop for me!" ”

"I don't!" Qi Xuan replied while running wildly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After running for a long distance, Qi Xuan stopped, and turned his head to look at Ruan Wan tremblingly: "You, don't come here!" I'll ...... if you come back again."

Ruan Wan sighed: "You're going to die to show me?" ”

Qi Xuan: "......"

Ruan Wan continued to walk forward, and said in a calm tone: "Come, let's die." ”

Qi Xuan burst into tears, he wanted to die, but the problem was that he had no tools to commit the crime at all!

The "caring" Ruan Wan understood his thoughts and warmly said, "You can untie your shoes." ”

"Huh?"

"And then use it to strangle yourself."

Qi Xuan vomited blood, he didn't actually want to die, really!

He swallowed his saliva, looked at Ruan Wan's face, and said cautiously, "It's okay if I don't run...... You have to promise me one thing. ”

"What?"

"You promise not to hit me."

Ruan Wan smiled softly: "Don't worry, I promise not to kill you." ”

As soon as Qi Xuan heard this, he was instantly relieved, and he ran in the direction where Ruan Wan was, and suddenly came back to his senses after half running: "Wait! Did I just hear something wrong? You must not have said you were going to kill me, did you? You must not have said that, did you? ”

Ruan Wan: "......" This guy's brain can still be used well!

Two more

Qi Xuan felt that he was clever!

Ruan Boss Wan's face darkened, and he immediately realized the danger from it! I didn't want to be ready to run wild again, but who knew - day and night, it would be difficult to prevent thieves!

Ruan Wan turned her head sideways and was about to find some "bullets" to throw, and the little red hair beside her sent a bottle of mineral water in time: "Eldest sister, please use it!" ”

Ruan Wan: "What the hell is the eldest sister of ......?"

But she didn't care about thinking so much, and she just threw her hand away!

I don't know if she is really talented in this way, or if Qi Teabi is too unlucky, anyway, this bottle of water smashed firmly on the latter's ass. Qi Xiaoxuan flew to the ground in an instant in a standard flat sand and falling goose style, which was really tragic. He originally wanted to be dying, but when he saw his younger brothers looking at a certain "female devil who stares at who is pregnant" with a look of adoration, and was ready to continue delivering water, he covered his face in pain, thinking that this is really "God is going to kill me!! ”。

"It's worthy of being the eldest sister!"

"Mighty and domineering!"

"Awesome!"

……

Ruan Wan listened to these compliments, and then looked at the little red, yellow, blue, and purple hair that applauded beside her, and suddenly felt a strong sense of shame coming to her face, and she counted this account on Qi Xuan's body. With this thought in mind, she stepped forward quickly and walked to Qi Teabi, who was pouting her hips and holding her head as if she had given up struggling. She narrowed her eyes, thinking that his position was like begging for a kick.

Ruan Wan was thinking about whether to meet this guy's "physical needs" when she heard his weak voice coming-

"Please at least don't slap ...... face"

"You still have this thing?"

"......" Qi Xuan burst into tears, don't you want to be so venomous! He struggled and said, "How can I say that I am also a dignified manly husband, can I give some face?" ”

"Did you think about saving face when you were running around with green hair on your own?"

Qi Xuan: Is it a delusion of "......"? Why do you always think that she is not talking about "green hair" but "green hat"!

Ruan Wan raised her foot and kicked Qi Xuan lightly, and whispered, "Get up, don't pretend to be dead, isn't the ground hot?" ”

Qi Xuan was stunned: "You say that...... Oh! It's hot! He jumped to his feet, lifted his T-shirt to look at his belly, and howled, "Oh my God, it's red!! ”

Ruan Wan held her forehead, picked up the bottle of chilled mineral water from the ground, tore off the hem of his clothes, and pasted it on his belly through the fabric, and then heard the goods panting comfortably and said, "Comfortable~". She felt that she was helpless, so she asked, "What is your situation now?" ”

"Huh?" Qi Xuan subconsciously scratched the little green hair on his head, scratched it twice and remembered the "green hat", and began to scratch his cheeks embarrassedly, "That's what you see......"

"What I saw?" Ruan Wan's gaze fell on Qi Xuan's head again, well, she did it on purpose.

Qi Xuan almost didn't vomit blood, he turned his head angrily: "I formed a band with that group of guys!" ”

"Oh."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You're just, 'oh'? ”

"Or else?"

Ruan Wan replied lightly, but Qi Xuan couldn't be calm, he originally wanted to cool her and hang her appetite, but now he didn't have this idea at all, and he said it in one go-

"The school I attended had a club, and those guys were in the same grade as me, and they were all from the music club, and they came out with me to chase their dreams in the summer!"

"Chasing dreams?"

"That's right!" Qi Xuan clenched his fists, "I found that I have a heart for music!" It's constantly encouraging me to move forward! As he spoke, he cautiously looked at Ruan Wan's face and found that she looked calm, showing no signs of being impressed by him at all. He was speechless, "Don't you have anything to say?" ”

"Yes."

"What?"

"'Ready to move' is a derogatory term that is generally used to describe the bad guys preparing to cause trouble or the enemy preparing to attack." Ruan Wan replied in a light tone, "Do you need me to send you to the bureau?" ”

"......" Qi Xuan turned his head in pain, sure enough, she will always be his nemesis! Nemesis!

Ruan Wan looked at him with a bitter look on his face and sighed: "You ran out so suddenly, do your parents know?" ”

"Yes." Qi Xuan replied, "They don't know how dare I run out." "First, I don't have any money, and second, I will be broken by my own father! He pointed to Xiaohong, Xiaohuang, Xiaolan and Xiaozi not far away and said, "Their parents also know that we are living in Lan Fei's uncle's house now." If you don't believe me, you can call my dad! ”

Ruan Wan stared intently at Qi Xuan's serious expression, making sure that this guy wasn't lyingβ€”because he was too stupid to be good at doing such a thing. She nodded, "That's good." "If she meets someone else, she doesn't bother to meddle with it. However, Qi Xuan's family treats her very well, especially his grandmother and his mother, who will send small things to her and grandmother from time to time, so since she has met her, she has to ask more or less.

Seeing that he had "passed the test", Qi Xuan smiled like a brilliant dog tail flower, if there was a tail behind him, the tail would inevitably be thrown to the ground like a big chrysanthemum. But soon, he realized that something was wrong.

"Wait! I didn't do anything bad, what are you doing beating me? ”

Ruan Wan asked him rhetorically, "When did I beat you?" ”

Qi Xuan raised the mineral water bottle in his hand high and signaled, "This is evidence!" Evidence of red fruits! ”。

Ruan Wan said that this thing can't be used as evidence at all, because-

"Whoever told you to see me will run."

"Wasn't I scared!"

"You didn't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of?"

"I ......" Qi Xuan was stunned, he smashed his mouth, and thought to himself, "Yes!" I didn't do anything wrong, I ran a hair! But that's not, "knee-jerk reaction...... "qaq."

Ruan Wan was also speechless when she heard this, how afraid he was of her! Such conditions were actually formed for launch. And yes, "What's going on with the eldest sister?" She hadn't forgotten the strange language and actions of Xiao Hong, Xiao Huang, Xiao Lan and Xiao Zi just now.

Qi Xuangan laughed: "Ahahaha......" This is actually an accident. Didn't he have a graduation photo from his class, although he couldn't take it, Mr. Li still mailed one to him. When he received the photo during the holiday, he was very open to take him/her to show off with this group of like-minded friends, and someone found her conspicuous and asked her who she was. At that time, he secretly drank a little wine with them for the first time, and when he was a little drunk and added a brain pump, he told a little about his record of "rushing to the crown and becoming a female devil" and her deeds of "staring at who is pregnant". Well, when he woke up the next day, he found that her big head had been cut off by someone and pasted on the wall, with two ballpoint pen couplets pasted next to it.

Stare at who is pregnant.

Whoever hates dies.

Horizontal criticism - peerless female devil.

There is also an incense burner on the wall, and five bunches of incense are poked in the stove.

Ahem, they were all drunk the night before, and they seemed to be incense to her together and bowed to her by the way.

All in all, Qi Xuan, who came to his senses completely, regarded this incident as a complete black history! However, his friends seem to really regard her as the head of the eldest sister, all in all, well, this is really a sad story!

However, he was too embarrassed to say this!

Will be ridiculed for a lifetime either!

So he could only vaguely reply, "Hmm...... What's that...... They are impressed by your domineering. ”

Ruan Wan couldn't see that this product was lying, but she didn't bother to care, because, well, she always felt that if she asked clearly, it would be her who would regret it! In the end, she could only give this assessment-

"It's a gathering of likes."

Tease's friends aren't witty either.

Qi Xuan looked at the group of friends who were gloating with tears in his eyes, and had to tragically admit that what she said was actually very reasonable! Ah, what a sad story!

But what made him more concerned was-

"Why are you here?"

Ruan Wan: "......"

She realized in hindsight that Qiao Yi and Qiao's wishes seemed to have been ignored by her for a long time. When she looked sideways, she found that the two of them were standing not far away, without any sign of dissatisfaction on their faces, which made Ruan Wan feel a little embarrassed.

"Huh? That uncle looks so familiar. Qi Tubi looked at Qiao Yi from a distance and scratched his head, "I always feel as if I've seen it somewhere." ”

Ruan Wan: "......"

Qiao Yi: "......"

Qiao Xin's wish was very not to give his brother face, and he laughed out loud: "Sister, your friend is so interesting!" ”

"Astringent compliment." Qi Xuan replied scerely, "I'm just such a funny ...... Ga! Because the brakes were too fast, he made a sound similar to a duck's call, and then looked at Joe in dismay, "'Sister'?" As a resident of the same town, he was naturally familiar with Ruan Wan's life experience, and he usually avoided mentioning this matter as much as possible during the exchange - he regretted accidentally poking it once before! Although he hadn't heard Ruan Wan mention her mother and "the family on the other side", he could vaguely sense that "she didn't have a good impression of that over there", but now, why was she with the people over there......

Otherwise, how to say that a comic is a comic, his first reaction was-

"You weren't kidnapped, were you?"

Well, in his cognition, she shouldn't be here unless she was forced.

Ruan Wan looked at this guy who deliberately lowered his voice and was suspected of being a spy, and the whole person was speechless: "You have watched too many novels and movies." ”

Qi Xuans reacted in seconds: "That's right, no one should dare to kidnap you." ”

Ruan Wan: "......" Is she a plague god! What to do? My hands are so itchy, I really want to beat this guy!
