Chapter 9: An Absurd Promise

Zhao Bin and his entourage got into a taxi and drove to Xingfu Jiayuan.

"Do you know your girlfriend's house?" Ren Yi asked.

"Of course I know, I've sent her home several times." Zhao Bin looked straight ahead and replied without looking back.

"Of course he knows, he did his homework before chasing the goddess." The black man sitting next to Ren Yi said. Bian Chi was a classmate of Zhao Bin's next class, and they formed a basketball team together, and even Zhao Bin helped him a lot when he chased Xu Xinyi.

Zhao Bin didn't defend himself, what he wanted to do most now was to know if Xu Xinyi was okay, and nothing else mattered.

The car finally stopped at the entrance of the community, and the five people walked in.

Zhao Bin led them to stop at the elevator entrance of the second unit.

"How many floors?"

"10th floor." Zhao Bin walked into the elevator and said according to the bright floor number.

Ren Yi smiled with a smile, glanced at Zhao Bin with a solemn face, and then looked at the others. The others smiled knowingly.

"What are you thinking, I tell you, we haven't done the dirty things you think in your heads." Zhao Bin said with a frown.

"Sooner or later." At the back of the elevator, the sound of bamboo poles as small as mosquitoes sounded.

Zhao Bin didn't bother to pay attention, the elevator stopped on the tenth floor, Zhao Bin tiptoed out, turned to his friend and said, "There are too many people, you just wait at the staircase, I'll come when I go." ”

Like a thief, he walked to the door of 1003 and stopped, leaned down, put his ear to the door and listened quietly, thirty minutes passed, and there was not a single sound from inside. At this time, the elevator door clanged, and the sound of crisp high heels came from the elevator entrance. Zhao Bin was afraid of being seen, so he immediately pretended to be calm and left, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw a camera installed directly above. He was heartbroken, "Why didn't I find out that there was a camera installed in the corridor before, this is bad, the property will definitely come to me when they see me sneaking here." He quickly covered his eyes and slipped to the staircase to beckon his brother to leave.

After running out of the community, the bamboo pole panted and said, "I said you, aren't you just looking for a girlfriend, it's like a big escape, and I'm tired to death." ”

"You just said you were tired after running for such a while, who let you eat so little food usually, it's strange if you have good physical strength." Bian Chi squatted on the side of the road and said

"What's the situation, what do you hear?" Wang Xiaolei, who hadn't spoken much, asked. Wang Xiaolei is also a member of the basketball team, introverted and usually doesn't like to talk.

"There was no sound."

"Then it must be fine, you don't have to worry, go home and wash and sleep, won't you be able to see the goddess tomorrow, besides, if you are really worried, send her a text message to ask, what is the phone for." Ren Yi said.

"Okay, thank you tonight, go home." Then the four of them left.

After Zhao Bin got home, he lay on the bed and hurriedly sent a short message to Xu Xinyi: "Have you slept?" "Who knows, the phone has not sounded with unread text messages.

Maybe she didn't see the text message, so he sent another "Are you okay?" Still no response.

Zhao Bin pressed the phone, his thumb stopped on the dial button and didn't press it for a long time, maybe she was asleep, I still don't want to wake her up.

The mobile phone kept vibrating, Zhao Bin opened his eyes, it was already morning, and when he saw that it was Xinyilai's call, he quickly picked it up.

"Hey, Xinyi."

"Hey, Zhao Bin, I fell asleep last night, and I only saw the text message now." Xu Xinyi's crisp voice rang on the other end of the phone, and after learning that Xinyi was fine, the stone in Zhao Bin's heart finally fell to the ground. He hurriedly washed up and rushed to school. He wanted to see Xu Xinyi earlier, to make sure that she was not affected by last night's incident, so that he could really feel at ease.

After morning self-study, Zhao Bin went to class 1 to find Xu Xinyi.

Two people were lying on the railing and chatting. "When you came home last night, your dad didn't say anything, did he?" Zhao Bin asked curiously.

"No, we didn't say a word, I went straight to my room as soon as I got home. It's just that the woman doesn't seem to have gone back last night. ”

Zhao Bin was surprised, this is completely different from the scene he imagined, normal people will definitely educate their children, usually with the impact of early love on learning and the like. But Xu Xinyi's father's reaction is too abnormal, not to mention that the object is Xu Xinyi, who is a good girl.

"What are you thinking?" Xu Xinyi saw that he was silent for a long time.

"No, I'm wondering what uncle means, is it to allow the two of us to be together?"

Xu Xinyi smiled miserably, "I don't know, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we haven't talked much, I think now, he doesn't even care about my life or death, let alone talking about friends." ”

Zhao Bin looked at her sad expression and rubbed her shoulder with some distress to express comfort.

Xu Xinyi tugged at the corners of her mouth to indicate that she was fine.

After the three classes in the morning, when the third class was about to end, a figure appeared at the door of the classroom of the first and fifth classes. The teacher stopped lecturing and stepped off the podium

"Who are you?"

"Oh, I'll look for Zhao Bin," Xu Zhiwei replied in a white short-sleeved shirt with a suit in the crook of his arm.

Zhao Bin only raised his head at this time, and recognized at a glance that the person standing at the door was Xu Xinyi's father. His heart was tight, could it be that his father came to settle accounts with me?

The bamboo pole whispered in the air, "Goddess, his father?" ”

Zhao Bin pursed his dry lips and nodded, he walked to the door of the classroom and introduced to the teacher, "This is my uncle, I'll go out first." ”

The teacher smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

Zhugan looked at the backs of Zhao Bin and Xu Zhiwei leaving, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly secretly sent a text message to Bian Chi in the next class, "Goddess, his father is here to take revenge on Zhao Bin." ”

"Can you go out now? I have something I want to sit down with you and talk about. Xu Zhiwei invited.

Looking at Xu Zhiwei's polite appearance, he shouldn't be the kind of person who would do something to a child, if you want to sit down with me and talk, you must be trying to convince people with reason.

Zhao Bin said hello to the doorman and handed him a pack of cigarettes. "This is my uncle, looking for me something, I've already asked the teacher for leave, go out for a while, and I'll be back immediately." The doorman uncle usually has a good relationship with Zhao Bin, and when he saw the benefits, he immediately let them go.

In the café not far from the school, Zhao Bin and Xu Zhiwei sat for a long time, waiting for each other to say the first word.

Finally, Zhao Bin couldn't bear it anymore, what do you have to say. He coughed dryly, "Uncle, do you have anything to say to me?"

Xu Zhiwei smiled and stirred the brown liquid in the cup with a spoon, "I'm looking at what the boy my daughter likes looks like." ”

Zhao Bin felt that this father was still quite open-minded, and it seemed that he had to use his ability to persuade him not to break up their little couple, maybe it would work.

"What does my uncle think of watching me for so long?"

"It's just the first contact, and I can't see anything, but I think you really like my family's heart, otherwise you wouldn't sneakily listen to the movement at my door last night, are you afraid that I will beat my daughter?"

Zhao Bin was stunned, could it be that Xu Zhiwei had been hiding in the dark to watch him last night or had he seen him from a cat's eye? It's not scientific. The only plausible explanation is that the property showed him the video.

Zhao Bin smiled awkwardly, touched the back of his head and didn't speak.

"You should know that Xinyi's mother unfortunately left when she was in junior high school, and in the past few years, every time I come home, I can always think of her mother when I see Xinyi, but neither of us mentions it. I'm afraid to say it, and I feel uncomfortable. Xinyi has been very strong since she was a child, whether it is an injection or a fall, she never cries, even her mother died, I never saw her cry, I thought at first that this child was not cold-blooded, and the day after tomorrow I saw her from a laughing and noisy girl to a taciturn and introverted child now, I was very sad. But I'm not afraid of your jokes, my mouth is so stupid, I don't know how to express my feelings, so that our relationship is getting stiffer and stiffer. Later, when I was working and socializing, I met a woman, although she had worked in that place, but after I came into contact with her a few times, I found that she was actually a very poor and kind person. I want her to be Xinyi's mother and make up for the debt to Xinyi in the past few years instead of me. And we really love each other, I can't live in the pain of losing my wife for the rest of my life, right? I also want to start a new life, to have a hot meal when I come home when I am busy at work, and to have someone to take care of my daughter for me. Do you understand me when I say that? ”

Zhao Bin raised his head, pursed his lips and said, "Uncle, I can understand what you said, but I want to tell you that in fact, Xinyi is not a strong girl, she is just an ordinary person, she will laugh when she is happy, and cry when she is sad." You don't see her crying because she doesn't want to cry in front of you, she doesn't want you to be as sad as she is. She told me that you taught her to be strong when she was younger. She's always remembered your words. ”

Xu Zhiwei looked at the thin and tall handsome boy in front of him in surprise, his words made him feel that the boy in front of him was as mature as an adult, and he knew his daughter better than himself.

Zhao Bin continued: "I have also heard about you and Aunt Ding, but what I heard and you said is another version. I heard that when you were not at home, Aunt Ding was bent on driving Xinyi out so that she could be the mistress of the house. ”

Xu Zhiwei smiled, "You listened to Xinyi, Aunt Ding is actually not that kind of person, she has explained to me, maybe Xinyi had a bad impression of her when she first saw her, so she was a little prejudiced against her." ”

Zhao Bin was surprised, what kind of ecstasy decoction did this woman pour into him, and how did she turn her elbows outward.

"Uncle, you're not looking for me today to just talk about this, right?"

"You're a smart kid, so let's get down to business. It stands to reason that my daughter's early love for me, as a father, should be stopped, but when I saw you today, I talked with you for so long, and found that you are different from what I imagined, maybe you can take care of my daughter like a man, I am not an enlightened parent, not to mention that I came from your age, and I know that the more things are prevented, the more they will change. I'll allow you to be with Xinyi, but you have to promise me one condition. ”

Zhao Bin was puzzled, "What conditions." ”

"Help me convince Xinyi to accept Aunt Ding."
