Originally, it was very late to end work, and by the time Nanxi and Lu Zaiyuan came out of the company in a neat manner, it was already more than eleven o'clock at night.

Lu Zaiyuan first took her to have supper, and then the two of them went home together.

After the car stopped outside the door, Nanxi found that the tent in the yard was lit up.

Nanxi turned to Lu Zaiyuan and said, "Maybe Xiaohe is in the tent, you can wait in the car for a while."

Lu Zaiyuan seemed to be accustomed to it, he sat quietly in the car, watching Nanxi push open the courtyard door and enter the tent.

This tent has now become a permanent playground for the Nanxi family.

In the first few days, Lu Zaiyuan would get up every morning and put away the tent before driving away. Then one day he got up late, and the company called him urgently, so he got up and drove away, and the tent was not collected.

When Nanhe got up, she found such a thing in the yard, which she thought was very novel, and all morning, she was lying or sitting in the tent, holding a comic book and reading it happily.

Since that day, the tent has never been put away.

At night, the road is far away in tents for the night. During the day, Nanhe watched calligraphy and painting in the tent. One thing for two purposes, and it turned out to be safe.

Originally, Nanhe's schedule was extremely regular, and she should have fallen asleep at this time. I don't know what's going on today, it's so late, she is still staying in the tent far away.

Nan Xi opened the door of the tent, leaned in to take a look, and saw Nan He leaning on a thick cushion, holding a sketchbook on his lap, drawing something. Seeing Nanxi coming in, she closed the sketchbook with a "whoosh" and hid it behind her.

My sister actually started to have secrets, and Nanxi was very pleased. She was not in a hurry to know what was drawn in the sketchbook, and smiled at her sister kindly: "Xiaohe, it's so late, why don't you sleep?" ”

Nanhe blinked nervously: "I'm not sleepy......"

"Even if you're not sleepy, you should go back and wash up and paint warmly under the quilt. It's late at night, it's already cold in the tent, okay to go back? Nan Xi spoke, reaching out to pull Nanhe's arm.

Nanhe thought she was coming to grab a sketchbook, and was so frightened that she stepped back.

Nanxi was suspicious, but he still retracted his hand, turned around and pulled out the tent: "Let's go back to the house, stay any longer, you will catch a cold." ”

Nanhe lowered his head, quickly climbed out of the tent, hugged the sketchbook to his chest, and ran into the house before Nanxi.

Nanxi followed her into the door, and saw that she had rushed back to her room and closed the door with a "snap".

"Sister Xiaoxi, are you back?" Probably hearing the sound, Zhao Chufang walked down from the second floor and greeted Nanxi.

Nanxi nodded, and then said, "Chu Fang, what are you busy with?" ”

She actually wanted to know, why Nanhe was still painting in the tent outside so late, and why didn't Zhao Chufang settle Xiaohe and sleep earlier?

It's just that Zhao Chufang is not her aunt after all, and people are just volunteering to help take care of Xiaohe, so she can't use a reproachful tone towards him.

"Oh......" Zhao Chufang hesitated, "Sister Xiaoxi, do you want to have supper?" Shall I cook you a bowl of small ravioli? ”

Ay? What is answered? What's going on?

Nanxi was puzzled, shook his head and said, "Thank you, I've already had supper, you don't have to bother...... Chu Fang, are you in trouble? ”

Zhao Chufang lowered his head in embarrassment, stared at his toes, shook his shoulders and said, "Sister Xiaoxi, I'm leaving......"

"Why? Don't you have more than a dozen days left on your vacation? Such a sudden decision, Nanxi was taken aback.

"I ...... My classmate asked me to go to Tibet, and I ...... Would love to go...... So ......" Zhao Chufang was very embarrassed.

"Oh, that's it...... Nanxi's heart sank, "Okay, while you're young and free, you should go out for a walk...... When have you decided to leave? Is it by plane or train? I'll have someone buy you a ticket......"

"No need, Sister Xiaoxi is so busy, why am I embarrassed to trouble you. I'll leave tomorrow, the train tickets have been bought, and the luggage has been packed......" Zhao Chufang was like a child who had done something wrong, crampedly holding his hands behind his back, not daring to look directly into Nanxi's eyes.

Nanxi's mood plummeted, but she had no reason to continue to keep Zhao Chufang. I don't know what Xiaohe will become after Zhao Chufang leaves, she feels a headache when she thinks about it.

She smiled reluctantly and said politely: "You are really, since you are leaving, you should tell me in advance." You've done me so much of a favor, but you didn't give me the time to prepare a gift, and I really can't go. ”

"You're welcome, Sister Xiaoxi, I had a great time this winter vacation, this is the best gift. Besides...... I will come to visit Senior Sister Xiaohe again in the future, and Sister Xiaoxi will invite me to dinner when the time comes. Zhao Chufang finally raised his head, but his eyes still didn't dare to meet Nanxi.

Nanxi thought to herself: This is really a kind child, Xiaohe's illness is not his fault, let alone his responsibility, looking at his current appearance, it seems to have become his burden.

"Since it's tomorrow's train, then you should go to bed early, and I'll take you to the station tomorrow." Nanxi didn't know what to say anymore, so he urged Zhao Chufang to go upstairs.

Zhao Chufang was also very cramped, hearing Nanxi say this, he quickly said good night, turned around and ran back upstairs.

Leaving Nanxi alone, he stood in the living room for a long time, frowning.

After a long time, she dragged her steps into Nanhe's room.

Probably Zhao Chufang was in a hurry to pack his luggage, and he didn't take special care of Nanhe tonight. After Nanhe ran in from outside, he lay down on the bed with his clothes down, and he had already fallen asleep without washing.

Nanxi couldn't bear to wake her up, helped her take off her socks and coat, pulled the quilt and put it on her, and let her continue to sleep.

Seeing that her sleeping position was very uncomfortable, Nanxi grabbed her shoulders and helped her turn over. After her body turned over, Nanxi saw that her hands were still tightly holding the sketchbook, covering her chest.

Nanxi tried to draw it, and actually pulled out the book. She carefully opened the notebook, wanting to see what her sister had drawn and why she was afraid of being seen.

The first half of the sketchbook is mostly Xiaohe's casual graffiti, and a few serious small paintings are also very abstract and difficult to understand.

But in the second half, Nanxi suddenly saw a sketch of a man and a woman's bodies intertwined, she was startled, her hand shook, and she almost dropped the sketchbook to the ground.

Turning back further, it is all sketches of this subject, various postures, and the faces of men are becoming more and more detailed and clear. Look closely, that man is clearly Deng Jiaxiang!

Xiaohe is hiding in a tent and is secretly painting something like this!

Looking at the picture of Deng Jiaxiang and his sister together in the sketchbook, Nanxi only felt that his hairs stood up, and he looked like an ant crawling, which was very uncomfortable.

remembered the dream that his sister once talked about, in which Deng Jiaxiang stripped off his sister's clothes.......

Nanxi was very panicked and didn't know what to do. Because her sister is not a normal girl, she can't teach her these things through normal communication.

She held her sketchbook, thought for a while, turned off the light, got up and walked out.

She came to the tent in the courtyard, Lu Zaiyuan had already arranged her sleeping bag, leaned on the mat, and was reading a book with a heater attached.

Seeing Nanxi walk in, he opened his arms: "Come!" Come into your husband's arms! ”

Nanxi frowned, sat down beside him, and sighed.

Lu Zaiyuan touched her hair: "Sigh what?" Didn't you meet you in the office just now? Do you want me to wait for you again? ”

"You're messing around! I'm dying of sorrow! Nanxi spoke, handing the sketchbook to Lu Zaiyuan.

Lu Zaiyuan quickly flipped over, and soon turned to the sketch of the spring, and the palace diagram at the back: "This is ...... It can't be drawn when you think of me, right? ”

"Do you think I can draw a sketch at this level? There is only one person in our family who loves to draw! Didn't you ask knowingly? Nanxi was annoyed, and had no patience to listen to Lu Zaiyuan's jokes.

"Oh......" Lu Zaiyuan turned a few more pages and nodded, "God has closed the door for a person, and he will surely open a window for her." Xiaohe can draw a few sketches casually, you can take them out for exhibition, these paintings are so beautiful! After a while, I will be free and find a good agent for Xiaohe, it is a pity that her paintings are hidden in your studio, more people should see her works. ”

Nanxi pulled the sketchbook angrily: "For me, nothing is more important than Xiaohe's health!" Don't you think there's a problem with her secretly drawing these things and hiding them from me? ”

"What's the problem?" Lu Zaiyuan disagreed, "Xiaohe is twenty-two years old this year, if she is a healthy girl, she can get married and have children at this age." She will have some beautiful fantasies, indicating that her sexual consciousness is awakening, and she is gradually becoming a normal girl. She's going to be like a child for the rest of her life, so you should be worried, right? ”

Nanxi was also a little confused when he heard him say this.

Is it really because Xiaohe is slowly getting better, so there is such a beautiful fantasy? But all the men in her paintings look like Deng Jiaxiang, and she still can't accept it.

Lu Zaiyuan saw her staring at those paintings with a wrinkled face, and said: "She has always liked Deng Jiaxiang, you know, so it is normal for her to regard Deng Jiaxiang as an object of fantasy." If you are worried about this, you can ask the doctor for help, and the doctor can provide her with psychological counseling. ”

"Yes." Nanxi nodded and closed the sketchbook, "I've been too busy lately, I haven't found time, I want to change the doctor for Xiaohe, although Dr. Zhou is the person who knows Xiaohe's condition best, but Xiaohe has some strange behavior now, and Dr. Zhou doesn't seem to have any choice." ”

"I know that the company's affairs are all entrusted to you alone, and it is really hard for you. I'll find you a good helper as soon as possible, let's all have a day off this weekend, and I'll accompany you to take Xiaohe to the doctor. Lu Zaiyuan comforted her.

Because of Xiaohe's paintings, because Zhao Chufang suddenly wanted to leave, Nanxi's heart was in a mess. But Lu Zaiyuan was by her side and unleashed her heart, so she didn't feel so sad.

The next day, after breakfast, Zhao Chufang was leaving.

Nanhe didn't know about it yet, seeing that Zhao Chufang was dressed neatly and walked downstairs with her luggage, she also took the initiative to come up and ask, "Where are we going today?" ”

Zhao Chufang's eyes were red, he pulled Nanhe to sit on the sofa, and told her softly: "Senior Sister Xiaohe, I have some things to leave for a while." When I'm not at home, you have to listen to Sister Xiaoxi, listen to Auntie, eat well, and don't make trouble obediently, okay? ”

Xiaohe frowned: "Where to go?" How long has it been? ”

"Probably...... Let's take a few days. Zhao Chufang didn't dare to tell the truth, in fact, it was impossible for him to come back.

"That'...... I'll go with you, okay? Nanhe felt so sudden, dazed and at a loss, he would only say this.

Nan Xi took Nanhe's hand: "Xiaohe, Chu Fang is going to a far place, you are not in good health, you can't stand such a tiring journey, just wait for him at home." When he comes back, he will definitely come to see you! ”

"That'...... Who's with me? Brother Jiaxiang? Nanhe didn't pester Zhao Chufang and didn't let her go, she just wanted to know who would accompany her next

Now that Zhao Chufang is gone, it should be Brother Jiaxiang to accompany her, right?

She rightfully thought so.

Nanxi was afraid that she would mention Deng Jiaxiang again, but as soon as Zhao Chufang was about to leave, she immediately remembered Deng Jiaxiang again. Whether it is the real Deng Jiaxiang or the fake Deng Jiaxiang, there must always be one by her side, otherwise her life seems to be unable to continue.

"Xiaohe, Jiaxiang is not here, my sister explained it to you, have you forgotten? Don't be afraid, there is a sister here, and my sister will accompany you. Nanxi didn't know what to say, so she could only coax her with good words.

Nanhe didn't follow: "No, Brother Jiaxiang is here, he ...... every night"

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Chufang suddenly jumped up: "I'm sorry, I'm leaving, if I delay for a while, I won't be able to catch the train!" ”

He got up so violently and spoke so loudly that Nanhe was startled, and the unspoken words were stuck in his throat, and he watched Zhao Chufang drag his suitcase and hurriedly go out of the house, she was still dumbfounded.

Nanxi saw that although she was reluctant to let Zhao Chufang leave, she didn't have a fierce reaction. Out of politeness, she had to send Zhao Chufang's, so she told her aunt to take care of Xiaohe, and if there was anything to call her, she also ran out of the house and drove to catch up with Zhao Chufang.

"Chu Fang, get on the train, I'll take you to the station." She stopped the car and greeted Zhao Chufang, who was hurrying on the side of the road.

Zhao Chufang hesitated, but still got into her car.

Nanxi saw that he had a tense face, as if he was angry, and thought: It must be Xiaohe's words just now that hurt him, Xiaohe has no scheming, since she can tell me about dreaming of Deng Jiaxiang at night, Zhao Chufang accompanies her day and night, and must have heard her say it. Zhao Chufang liked Xiaohe a little in his heart, and he must have been very uncomfortable listening to her words.

Thinking like this, Nan Xi felt a little guilty, so he said, "Chu Fang...... I'm sorry, you know the creek now...... It's not fully recovered, and if she says something that makes you sad, don't take it to heart. What you did for Xiaohe, my sister saw it in my eyes, and my sister was very grateful to you...... It's true! ”

After Nanxi finished speaking, he waited for a while, but he didn't hear Zhao Chufang's response.

She turned her head to look at him and saw that he was facing out of the car window and not looking at her. She thought he didn't like to answer the question, and was digressing the subject, noticing that his shoulders were shaking slightly.

Is he crying?

Nanxi hurriedly stopped the car and patted him on the back: "Chu Fang? What happened to you? Did Xiaohe do something to hurt you when I wasn't at home? ”

Zhao Chufang shook his head vigorously: "No!" No! Sister Xiaoxi! Leave me alone! You go to work! I'll go to the station myself! ”

Then, suddenly, he pushed the car door, jumped out of the car, grabbed his luggage from the back seat, and stood on the side of the road to hail a taxi.

Nanxi hurriedly chased down the car, but a taxi stopped abruptly at this time, Zhao Chufang jumped into the taxi, closed the door, and the car drove away!

Nanxi stood on the side of the road in confusion, thinking to himself: How could he be so sad? What did Xiaohe do to hurt him? He didn't make it clear to me and just left?

Yes, Zhao Chufang left like this, leaving Nanxi full of questions.

However, she didn't have much energy to think about Zhao Chufang, she was grateful and guilty to this young man, and after all, she couldn't offset her concern for her own sister. After Zhao Chufang left, she was particularly concerned about her sister's condition, for fear that she would suddenly make a fuss and clamoring to see Deng Jiaxiang.

Strangely, Nam Ha is very quiet during the day, and if no one is noisy with her, she can stay in the studio all day, painting one painting after another.

But at night, she was not so comfortable. Although she would go to bed on time every night, in the middle of the night, she would get up again and wander around the house.

After Nanxi was woken up by her, she pulled her back to sleep, but she always refused, muttering in her mouth: "Why don't you come yet?" Why not come yet? ”

Nanxi called Dr. Zhou and asked her to come and see the condition of Xiaohe. Dr. Zhou said: "I used to have someone to accompany her, but now she has suddenly become a person, a little lonely, difficult to sleep, and this slight night travel symptom will appear, you don't worry, I will consider her condition and adjust my treatment plan." ”

Since Dr. Zhou said so, Nanxi can only wait for the effect of the treatment.

However, just three days after Zhao Chufang left, something happened that made everyone extremely embarrassed.

That night, after Nanxi settled Nanhe, he went back to his room to sleep. The moment she lay on the bed, she was still thinking: I can't sleep too long, Xiaohe will definitely wake up in the middle of the night, I can't let her walk around alone and roll down the stairs.

So she set the alarm clock on her phone, closed her eyes and prepared to take a nap.

She didn't know how long she slept when she heard a scream coming from outside the door. Even in her half-sleep, she could hear it as the sound of a river!

Nanxi heard the screams, jumped up from the bed in fright, and ran out barefoot in pajamas.

The sound came from the courtyard, and when she ran out of the house, she saw Nanhe clutching her chest, crawling out of the tent, kneeling on the ground and gasping for air.

"Creek! How did you end up here? Nanxi hurriedly ran forward and grabbed her sister's arm.

Nanhe trembled, hugged Nanxi, and pointed to the tent: "Where is it...... There are bad guys ......"

At this time, Lu Zaiyuan also came out of the tent, and when he saw Nanxi, he grabbed his hair at a loss: "I'm sorry...... I didn't know it was Xiaohe, I thought it was you......"

Nanxi heard him say this, and probably guessed what happened just now.

"Xiaohe, it's too cold outside, let's go back to the house with my sister." Nanxi pulled Nanhe up, half-supported and half-hugged, and dragged him into the house.

She settled her sister on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and said, "Xiaohe, you just had a dream just now, haven't you been dreaming every night lately?" It was just a nightmare, nothing happened, so you don't have to be afraid, get a good night's sleep, and wake up tomorrow morning with nothing to do. ”

Nanhe was shocked, opened her big eyes, grabbed the quilt and trembled: "It's not a dream...... It's not a dream......

Nan Xi's eyes were red with anxiety, and tears were about to fall: "You believe in my sister, there are no bad people, it's really just a nightmare, it's good to wake up." ”

Nanhe didn't seem to hear what she was saying, and muttered to himself, "It's not a dream...... Brother Jiaxiang is not coming...... He said he would come to my rescue...... But he didn't come......"

She was talking to herself like a dream, and Nanxi listened to it speciously, and she couldn't fully understand it. It's just that she was very distressed when she saw her sister frightened, she even thought of compromising with her sister, and wanted to take her to Deng Jiaxiang at dawn, she thought very turtleishly: Maybe let her see Deng Jiaxiang, her mood can be stabilized, and she won't sleepwalk at night.

Nanxi is really tired, if my sister continues to sleepwalk like this night and night, and there are accidents every now and then, she will collapse before her sister recovers.

She stayed by Xiaohe's bedside until Xiaohe was tired and finally closed her eyes and fell asleep. She got up, turned off the light, and walked out of the river's bedroom.

As soon as she went out, she saw Lu Zaiyuan sitting on the sofa in the living room.

The anger in her belly burst out instantly, and she rushed out of the house like the wind, rushed to the tent in the courtyard, kicked her hands and feet, overturned the tent, and threw the contents of the tent everywhere.

Lu Zaiyuan stood behind her, silently watching her vent, not blocking or speaking.

It wasn't until the tent had been trampled on by her, and there was nothing left to lose, that she stopped, and stood there panting, the heat of which turned into a white mist in the cold night.

Lu Zai walked over and hugged her from behind. But she shook him off vigorously: "You let go of me!" Get out! ”

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know it was Xiaohe, I was sleeping soundly, and suddenly someone got into my sleeping bag and fell into my arms, and I was in a daze...... I thought you were coming to me......" Lu Zaiyuan looked like a child who had done something wrong, hanging his head.

Nanxi didn't listen, and her scalp exploded when she heard it: "What did you do to her?!" 166 Reading Network
