Chapter 541: Barb Thorn
In the evening, Xu Shuangchuan was urged by his parents to go home, and according to the old rules, he brought a large bag of vegetables. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She was surprised that Chen Chi was at home.
It's already half dusk outside the window, the lights are not turned on in the hall, the TV is on, the picture is very cheerful, it seems to be a variety show, the singer in it is bouncing with the microphone, the screen light flashes with the stage special effects, and the light and darkness are quickly switching, illuminating the room with green and red.
But it's mute.
Chen Chi melted into this gray and dazzling color, only a rough outline, he leaned back against the sofa, his feet raised and rested on the coffee table, I don't know if he was enjoying the show or closing his eyes to recuperate.
Xu Shuang landed at the entrance, and he already smelled a smell of smoke on the tip of his nose. She frowned and turned on the light, and glanced at the messy coffee table, Chen Chi's bare feet were casually cocked on the edge of the coffee table, and next to it was a laptop computer of his, which was not squarely arranged, but crooked, as if he was swept by his feet. His legs pressed against the glass surface of the coffee table, and the empty cigarette case was next to his trousers, scattering a pinch of small yellow lines, presumably fragments of tobacco.
There are also several beer cans on the coffee table, all of which have opened the pull ring, and I don't know if there is any beer left in them, and it is very easy to be knocked over. Xu Shuang's eyes fell on the glass ashtray in the corner of the coffee table, there were a lot of cigarette butts piled up in it, and the pull ring of the can was also buried in the cigarette butts, and two were dropped next to the ashtray.
Chen Chi turned his head and looked straight at her. There seems to be a lot of meaning in this eye, and it is so complicated that Xu Shuang is unable to distinguish it for a while. She instantly had the same feeling as he had when he turned his back to her last night, his heart sinking like a freefall in endless darkness, empty but twitched.
But she didn't shy away from meeting his gaze, trying to read his eyes, but Chen Chi quickly turned back, still facing the TV.
Xu Shuang paused, turned around and carried the dishes into the kitchen, and there was nothing unusual in the action. Her mother gave her too many dishes, sauce chops, fried fish, egg dumplings, she put them in the refrigerator and took out the lunch box from the bag, she glanced into the living room. This was specially prepared for Chen Chi by her mother to prevent him from having dinner outside.
Chen Chi watched TV with great devotion, and the silent movie-like singing and dancing programs seemed to have infinite attraction to him. Xu Shuangchuan looked away, and didn't ask Chen Chi if she wanted to eat it, so she directly stuffed the lunch box into the refrigerator, and she was going to use it as lunch tomorrow to eat it herself.
There were two metal bumps, Xu Shuang subconsciously looked into the living room again, only to see Chen Chi put away one foot, bent up and stepped on the side of the coffee table, and the other foot was still across the coffee table, becoming more and more lazy, and he didn't help the poured beer can, staring at the TV.
Xu Shuangchuan was sullen and silently withdrew his gaze. In the past, Chen Chi also talked about comfortable sit-ups, but he never used the coffee table as a footstool in front of her, because she would nag when she saw it, and he would always abide by her rules. Sometimes he pulled her cheek and said that the rules of the chief manager should be followed, otherwise the chief manager would be unhappy. In a trance, Xu Shuangchuan felt that Chen Chi once listened to her orders at home, and seemed to give her a little thin face, but now he probably didn't care about her rules and regulations that were suspected of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
She collected the food and went out of the kitchen to the bedroom, Chen Chi was watching TV from beginning to end, and it was only during the break when she walked past the screen blocking the TV that Xu Shuangchuan sensed that he raised his eyes and glanced at her.
The smell of smoke around the coffee table was really strong, Xu Shuang's throat was itchy, and he couldn't hold back two sounds as soon as he walked into the bedroom, but he was not ready to complain more. From the living room to the bedroom, the lights were on, and there were two people, except for Xu Shuang's two coughs, there was no other sound.
She packed her backpack and carried a bag of dirty clothes out of the room. Chen Chi had been speechless, and when he caught a glimpse of the bag, his eyes shrank suddenly. Xu Shuangchuan had only walked a few steps before he heard the sound of a lighter behind him. She turned into the bathroom with a calm face and closed the door.
The sound of the water came through the wooden door. Chen Chi is familiar with Xu Shuang's laundry procedure, first soaking, then hand rubbing, and then rolling into the washing machine.
He took several puffs, pressed most of the cigarette in his hand to the bottom of the ashtray, got up and walked into the bedroom.
Xu Shuangchuan's mobile phone was placed on the bedside table to charge.
Chen Chi's method is always simple, he doesn't go to the time-consuming and laborious screening on the social page one by one, but directly looks through Xu Shuangxia's recent call records.
In addition to work needs and sales scams, other people who are willing to call and communicate with their voices have become intimate.
Chen Chi can easily identify those colleagues in Xu Shuang's company who are in Gu Yiwei's company. In addition to this, he had also heard a little about her former colleagues in the training institution. What's more, Xu Shuangchuan really has a very good habit, and she has a very distinctive note on the contact person at work, and she always takes the trouble to add a unit abbreviation in front of the person's name.
Personal friends don't have a unit prefix.
Lin Yu is just Lin Yu, his name accounts for three on the recent call records, one every day on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, that is to say, in the few days when Chen Chi went to the flower show, Lin Yu's phone did not fall for a day.
This name is not very unfamiliar, and Xu Shuangchuan's small book also has Lin Yu's phone number. Chen Chi is always stronger than Xu Shuangchuan in remembering people, his memories of Lin Yu have been expanded as early as when he saw the name in the small book, he knows that Lin Yu is Xu Shuangxia's junior high school classmate, and remembers that Lin Yu sent a New Year's greeting text message to Xu Shuangxiao on Chinese New Year's Eve, jokingly calling her the old nickname Sister Bao, and wishing her a beautiful year after year.
It fits the tips of the black dress and red lips and curly hair that night after returning from the concert.
Listening to such a romantic thing as a concert, she went alone, also on the days when he was on a business trip.
Chen Chi's eyes were dark, he retracted his mind, and continued to think about Lin Yu.
He still remembered Lin Yu's appearance, at Xu Shuang's cousin's birthday banquet last year, Lin Yu packed him very enthusiastically. Xu Shuangchuan, an old classmate, seems to be very good in all aspects, the ancestral house is demolished, he has his own small business, he has money, leisure and appearance. At the beginning, Chen Chi had the impression that Lin Yu was very meticulous and thoughtful, and his words were very modest and modest, and his actions were appropriate for men and considerate for women.
Chen Chi stared at the three call records on the top, skipped the other contacts, and directly clicked on the chat records of Xu Shuangchuan and Lin Yu.
"Sister Bao, you don't need to bring a tent, we will stay in a hotel on the way. ”
"I almost went online to buy it. ”
"It doesn't matter if you buy it, the next time we go to Huangshan, we can use it for camping in the mountains. ”
"Then I'll place an order. ”
"You've got your eye on what?"
"I'll send you a link, you give me some advice, which one is better?"
"I've seen it, and the orange one feels a little better. ”
"I think so too, so I'm sure it's orange. ”
"Sister Bao, you slow down and place an order, I know a friend who does outdoor goods trade, I'll ask you to find a better cost-effective one." ”
"What's so embarrassing about that?"
"What's so embarrassing, my friend is new to the industry, and everyone is reciprocal. ”
"That's good. ”
"Sister Bao, how long do you have to arrive? If it's too late, I'll pick you up at the subway station. "This was sent on Thursday.
Chen Chimian sank like water, and there was also a record at ten o'clock this morning, when he left the Xu family for only an hour.
"Sister Bao, are your feet better?"
"Much better. ”
"I see you limped downstairs last night. ”
"It's okay, it's good to have a night's rest. What about you?"
"In my sleep, I'm a little sore. ”
"You'll be tired at last, so go back to sleep. ”
Chen Chi stared at the last smiling expression, almost crushing his phone.
Xu Shuangchuan wiped the soap foam from her hands, walked back to the room, and remembered to call her mother to report her safety.
In the living room, the sofa was empty, the TV was still hysterically singing, and the colorful pillars of light were flashing.
Chen Chi walked out of the bedroom and happened to meet her at the door.
He didn't speak, he didn't let go, his eyes locked firmly on her, and it was a very indescribable meaning.
Xu Shuang didn't move, and said calmly for a while: "Have something to say?"
Chen Chi opened her mouth, and the smell of tobacco hit Xu Shuangxia's face, she lowered her head slightly, holding her breath, and suppressing the light itch in her throat.
“…… I'll go out for a bit. ”
A hoarse voice sounded above his forehead, Xu Shuangchuan couldn't help but raise his eyes, Chen Chi took a diagonal step, and without waiting for her to answer, he walked straight out, and she only had time to see his cold and hard cheekbones and chin.
A short time later, there was the sound of leather shoes stomping on the floor in the hallway, and then the lock of the back door rattled open, and finally slammed.
Everything was quiet again.
Xu Shuangchuan stood motionless at the door of the bedroom, for a long time, before dragging her steps inside, she sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the glass window, reflecting the empty room, and she looked like a wooden person. Slowly, she leaned down and buried her face in her palm.
Late at night, Xu Shuangchuan checked all the doors and windows outside and closed the door.
"I think my consultation should be over, how much do I have to pay you?"
"Isn't it too expensive and wants to be casual? Money doesn't need to be rushed, why don't you want to consult?"
"It's over, now it's just a matter of who says it first. ”
"You don't want to say it yet. ”
Xu Shuangzhuan's fingers pressed on the keyboard, closed his eyes, and tears flowed out.
"You are an unmarried person, you only have theory but no practice, and you have not experienced the pain of marriage at all, it is like a barbed thorn, embedded in the flesh and blood, and when you pull it out, it will hurt so much that you can't put your hands down, do you understand?"
"So, do you still pull it out?"
"Can you walk with this barb every day, eat, sleep?"
