Chapter 3: Bye-bye

Wu Xi smelled the smell of Xu Xing's down jacket, which was warm and faint, which made her heart feel ironed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info She suddenly had a terrible thought of staying in this embrace a little longer, even if it was for a moment. What's even more terrifying is that Wu Xi put this idea into action, she watched the resentful spirit slowly turn into a ball of light, which was sucked into it by the jade wrench, but still did not withdraw her body from Xu Xing's arms.

Whatever, that's it, Wu Xi didn't care about it, anyway, Xu Xing didn't mean to push himself away, so just stay here for a while, it's a big deal that when he asked, he said that he was scared stupid, anyway, she was a weak woman, so there was nothing unreasonable to say so.

But time passed minute by minute, Xu Xing still hugged her, but he didn't mean to ask her at all, just let the jade wrench spin in the air, emitting a warm red light. Wu Xi raised his head suspiciously, and touched Xu Xing's unfathomable eyes: "I...... I was scared silly just now. ”

"I know."

Wu Xi stared at the orange in her hand, she had been peeling it for half an hour, and she had cleaned every orange on it but still didn't let go.

"Xixi, Dad has thanked the orange and other flowers, can you give it to me?"

Wu Li'an's voice reminded her, and Wu Xi hurriedly took the orange to Wu Li'an, "Xixi, why are you in a daze?" Tell Dad if you have something on your mind, and I'll help you solve it. ”

Wu Xi just wanted to answer, but was interrupted by the ringtone of her mobile phone, and when she saw the word "Xu Xing" displayed on the screen, she hurriedly took her mobile phone and came to the window.

"I'm home," Xu Xing's voice was as calm as ever. "Why don't you speak? Still not recovering from the shock? ”

"What's the matter," Wu Xi hurriedly changed the subject, "You already knew that man would come to me, so you deliberately left the hospital first to bring him out, right?" ”

"I did see him when I came back from buying food during the day, but there was no way to do it in that environment, and I knew that he would come to you again, so I deliberately set up this game and waited for him to fall into the net."

"I said, why did you come back suddenly, by the way, Lao Wu asked me to tell you that there is a futon in the cabinet in the study, and if it is cold, add it yourself."

"Okay."

After saying this, there was an embarrassing silence on both ends of the phone, Wu Xi's heart was beating so hard that she wondered if this voice was all in Xu Xing's ears.

"I'm hanging." She finally said these words with difficulty, hung up the phone in a hurry, and then threw it on the sofa far away from herself, as if it was a hot potato.

The next day Xu Xing came to pick up Wu Li'an and went home, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the streets are full of lights, and there are joyful scenes everywhere. Wu Xi went to the supermarket to temporarily buy some leftover New Year's goods, but fortunately, Xu Xing had a pair of skillful hands, and he poured out a large table of dishes in the kitchen.

Wu Li'an sat at the table and was amazed, but he looked at the figure who was busy in the kitchen, but he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, this poor child, because he had no parents to take care of him since he was a child, so he practiced such a good cooking skill. Thinking of this, he hurriedly beckoned Xu Xing to come out for dinner.

Wu Xi poured wine for the two of them, she also poured herself a glass, and the three of them ate while watching the party, and the atmosphere was peaceful and happy. Wu Xi picked up a piece of taro and spontaneously stayed for a while, "Dad, do you remember the root number two?" ”

"Of course I remember, Ren Le, your best friend in junior high school, she used to come to our house to play, and you two used her mother's cosmetics to paint yourself a big face, and almost didn't scare my heart attack."

Wu Xi was happy, "I still remember that the taro made by her mother was very delicious, and I stayed at their house for the Chinese New Year, so I ate this dish made by her mother, and the taro was glutinous and sweet, and I couldn't stop eating it." But they don't eat meat dishes during the Chinese New Year, although there are many kinds of dishes, but they are all vegetarian, so I obediently went home by myself the next day. ”

"Why don't you eat meat dishes?" Xu Xing asked her.

"It is said that Gen No. 2's grandmother died on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and her grandfather and her relationship were very deep, so since her death, no one in the family is allowed to eat meat during the New Year."

Wu Xi vividly remembers the scene at that time: she and Ren Le were going around a table of dishes, and just wanted to secretly reach out to take a piece but were beaten back by Ren Le's mother with chopsticks, "I forgot the rules, I haven't worshiped my grandmother, how can I eat first?" ”

"What do you mean, where did your grandmother go?" She secretly asked her friend.

"She died just after giving birth to my mother, and I never saw her." Ren Le whispered, "The day she died happened to be Chinese New Year's Eve, so our family didn't have meat to eat for the New Year." ”

Wu Xi looked at her sympathetically, as if Ren Le was the most unfortunate person in the world.

"Lele, come here, grandpa has arrived, everyone is waiting for you." Ren Le's mother walked over, "Xixi, you go to the back room for a while, and Auntie will call you out for dinner later." She gently admonished Wu Xi.

Wu Xi obediently walked into the bedroom, but out of curiosity, she opened the bedroom door a crack to see what "bye-bye" was. ”

Ren Le's mother took out a black-framed photo from the cabinet and put it on the table, she carefully wiped him clean with a towel, and then placed an incense burner and some melons and fruits in front of it.

"Dad, everything is ready, you can get started." She looked back at the figures standing behind her. Wu Xi saw that an old man with gray sideburns walked to the table, inserted three incense sticks in the incense burner, and then bowed deeply to the photo, and the people behind him also bowed deeply three times with him. With that, the old man walked alone to the table, stroked the picture with his fingers, and let the tears slide down his furrowed face.

"Dad, don't be too sad, you have to take care of your body." Ren Le's mother stepped forward and helped the old man back.

Wu Xi squinted his eyes and wanted to see the woman in the photo clearly, she must be very beautiful, otherwise how could a man miss him for forty years. But because of the reflection, she could only see two thick and long braids, and she couldn't see what her face looked like. Wu Xi sighed, picked up a piece of candy from the fruit bowl and peeled it off and ate it, before he finished eating, Ren Le pushed open the door and walked in, "It's finally over, let's go, go out to eat." ”

Wu Xi walked out of the bedroom door and found that the photos on the table were missing, she asked Ren Le strangely, "I see that the photos of other families worshipping ancestors are placed all year round, why do you put them away when you run out of home?" ”

"My dad wouldn't let him put it here, and he always said that the picture made him panic."
