126 Chapter 126
"It's naΓ―ve." Nanxi glanced at Liao Yijiang.
Liao Yijiang was not hit at all, picked out all the luminous star-shaped stickers on the paving, and said while paying: "Xiaohe, imagine that if you put these stickers on the walls and ceiling of your room and turn off the lights at night, will there be a room of starlight?" β
"Yes!" Nanhe's eyes lit up.
"How? Brother didn't lie to you, did he? Say that there is starlight, there is starlight! Hey! Liao Yijiang laughed proudly twice.
Nanhe snatched those stickers, hugged them in his arms, turned around and asked Nanxi: "Sister, let's go home now, okay?" β
Although Nanxi thinks this kind of play is very naΓ―ve, it is rare for Xiaohe to like it. Coming out tonight, Xiaohe was not as restless and nervous as she was at home, she would laugh out loud and say a lot of things.
As long as my sister is happy, let alone putting these childish stickers on the wall, she wants Nanxi to tear down the house, and she is also willing.
"Okay, I'll go back now." Nanxi cast a grateful glance at Liao Yijiang.
Liao Yijiang made a triumphant gesture: "Since Xiaohe likes it, my brother will often take you out to play in the future, okay?" β
"Hmm." Nanhe nodded.
Holding a marshmallow in one hand and a stack of stickers in the other, Nanhe happily walked out of the night market.
When he got in the car, Nanxi stopped Liao Yijiang and said to him: "I've worked hard for you tonight, I can drive Xiaohe home, don't send it, just take a taxi home here." β
"How can that be? I'll take you out, of course, and I'll be responsible for sending you back, but I'm a gentleman. Liao Yijiang thought that Nanxi was polite, so he put her hand away and prepared to enter the driver's seat.
Nanxi grabbed him and said, "I really don't need to send it, I'm in good spirits now, there's no problem with driving, let you send it around, it's troublesome." β
Liao Yijiang felt that Nanxi really didn't want him to drive back.
He had been happy all night, and he couldn't figure out where this sudden resistance came from.
He didn't ask, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "Okay, drive carefully, send me a text message when you get home." β
"Okay, then let's go first." Nanxi asked Nanhe to get into the car first, fastened her seat belt, sat in the driver's seat, waved his hand at Liao Yijiang, and started the car.
After the car hit the road, Nanxi saw from the rearview mirror that Liao Yijiang had been standing on the side of the road, watching them leave.
In fact, she couldn't tell what was wrong with her, and when she went out from home, the car parked in front of her neighbor's house gave her inexplicable pressure. She always felt that Lu Zaiyuan was nearby, and his eyes kept following her, watching her go out with other men to relax.
This thought made her very uncomfortable, so she took Liao Yijiang away and decided to drive home by herself.
Back at the door, she parked the car and looked around.
There is no such thing as that army green Jeep!
She let out a sigh of relief, and secretly scolded herself in her heart: What a nervous disorder! There are many people who drive that kind of car in this world, so as long as you see that kind of car on the street in the future, you will have to be nervous for a long time?
She sat in the car, sulking at herself.
"Sister, don't you get out of the car?" Nanhe saw that his sister was in a daze with her cheeks puffed out, and she didn't mean to get out of the car, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Get out of the car, get out of the car! Go home and give you stars all over the house. Nanxi quickly changed his smiling face, pulled the door and got out of the car, ran to Nanhe, and picked up Nanhe as well.
After locking the car, the sisters walked towards the door. Nanhe's eyes were sharp, and he saw a bouquet of flowers by the wall of the courtyard gate. She pulled Nanxi: "Sister......"
Nanxi looked in the direction of her finger, and also saw the bouquet of flowers placed against the wall, and next to the bouquet, there was a plastic bag.
Her heart fluttered and stuck in her throat. She quickly looked around, and the street was empty, and there was no one in sight.
She walked over and pulled through the bouquet of flowers, but couldn't find the card for the message. When she opened the plastic bag again, it was a takeaway box, and the smell of stinky tofu came out the moment she opened the bag.
She reached out and touched it, but the box was still warm, so it was obvious that the person who delivered the things had just left.
She picked up the bouquet of flowers, picked up the box of stinky tofu, and looked back again. The surroundings are quiet and empty, where is his figure?
Nan Xi sighed and pushed open the courtyard door: "Xiaohe, come in." β
Pushing open the door, the lights were on in the living room, but there was no one. The sisters changed their shoes, the older sister held flowers and carried a stinky tofu box, and the younger sister held a marshmallow and a stack of star stickers and walked to their room.
"Looks like you're having a great time, you're all home." Deng Jiaxiang's voice suddenly came from upstairs.
Nanxi didn't do anything, but Nanhe was startled, his hands shook, and the stickers fell to the ground. Then, like a child who has made a mistake, she timidly raised her head and looked at the second floor.
At the staircase on the second floor, Deng Jiaxiang sat on a chair and looked down at the two sisters who had just entered the house. He had been sitting here for more than half an hour since he had been waiting for them to come back.
"Jia...... Brother Jiaxiang. The smile on Nanhe's face disappeared, and he nervously squeezed the marshmallow in his hand and shrunk his shoulders.
Nanxi bent down, picked up the stickers that fell on the ground one by one, and looked up at Deng Jiaxiang: "Deng Jiaxiang, I ask you one thing, this is my home, not your home." You have to have the consciousness and basic etiquette of being a guest, the first of which is: do not interfere with the host's life! β
"I didn't interfere in your life, I just sighed a little, how can you still have fun in this situation? Still having such a good time? Deng Jiaxiang's tone was sour.
"How I'm going to live, it's not your turn to question. The second basic etiquette as a guest: don't pretend to be a midnight ghost, sit in the dark and scare people by not sleeping or turning on the lights in the middle of the night! Nan Xi raised his head slightly and glanced at Deng Jiaxiang indifferently.
Then, she shook her head towards Nanhe: "Xiaohe, let's go back to the house." β
Nanhe stood there still, looked up at Deng Jiaxiang, and shouted timidly: "Brother Jiaxiang......"
Deng Jiaxiang looked at the two of them silently for a few seconds, stood up with the armrest of the chair, and smiled at Nanhe: "Xiaohe, Brother Jiaxiang is actually worried about you, I won't be able to sleep if I don't see you come back with my own eyes." Okay, now that you're home safely, let's go wash and sleep, Brother Jiaxiang is also tired and is going to sleep. β
After speaking, Deng Jiaxiang slowly moved his steps and went back to his room.
Nanhe lowered his head, bit his lip, and his face turned a little pale.
Nanxi was troubled by the bouquet of flowers in her arms and the box of stinky tofu in her hand, and she didn't particularly notice her sister's expression. She first sent the bouquet and stinky tofu back to her room, changed her clothes, and then went to her sister's room next door.
Nanhe sat on the bed, his expression gloomy, not as cheerful as he was at the night market just now.
"Creek." Nanxi called her, "Sister go and move the ladder and stick all the stars on it, okay?" β
Nanhe raised his eyes to look at her, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Will Brother Jiaxiang be unhappy?" β
Hearing her ask like this, Nanxi was worried for a while. Although her sister's condition is improving, her dependence on Deng Jiaxiang is becoming more and more serious. If Deng Jiaxiang leaves their house one day and disappears from Xiaohe's sight, I don't know what will happen to Xiaohe.
"He doesn't need to approve this matter, this sister has the final say, and my sister said that it can be pasted, that is, it can be pasted. You wait, I'll move the ladder. β
Nanxi went to the utility room, carried the ladder out, and set it up in the center of Nanhe's bedroom. Then she poured out all the stickers, spread them on the bed, estimated a spacing based on the number, and climbed up the ladder, tore off the star stickers one by one, and pasted them on the ceiling on the south riverbed.
The rest of the ones were pasted on the walls of the four walls.
It took her more than half an hour to complete this work. During the whole process, Nanhe sat on the bed, quiet and worried.
Nanxi looked at her like that, and thought to herself: She was quite happy when she was outside just now, her eyes were shining, why did she wilt as soon as she got home? It seems that I should take her out for a walk often in the future
After all the stars were pasted on the wall, Nanxi moved the ladder out, and then she returned to the house and said to Nanhe: "Xiaohe, let's check the results and see if Brother Liao Yijiang is bragging, okay?" I'm going to turn off the lights. β
She snapped the switch of the light, and the bedroom suddenly went dark.
Immediately afterwards, all the stars on the ceiling and walls lit up, and the room was lit up with colorful shimmers, like a night sky shining with multicolored stars.
"Huh!" In the darkness, Nan Xi heard Nan He laughing.
"Does Xiaohe like it?" She asked.
"There is really starlight, Brother Yijiang didn't lie." The sudden brightness of the starlight in the room brought great joy to Nanhe, and her voice became brisk.
Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Xiaohe is like a simple-minded child, and this little surprise can make her happy. In fact, what she wants is very simple, nothing more than a peaceful life. Her heart has been ravaged by evil winds and waves, and she is a terrified child.
Nanxi's eyes adjusted to the dim light, walked to the bedside, and sat down beside Nanhe.
She put her arm around her sister's shoulders and said softly: "Xiaohe, it was my sister who didn't protect you before, but from today on, my sister's life will focus on you, as long as you are happy, my sister is willing to do anything." β
Nanhe listened to Nanxi's words quietly, but there was no response, probably not knowing how to respond.
After a long while, she said, "Sister, look, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, colorful starlight, but there are no black stars, why?" β
"Silly sister, how can there be black stars? Even if it did, it didn't shine, it melted into the darkness, and we couldn't see it. Although her sister's question was very strange, Nanxi still answered her seriously.
"Oh...... I've seen black stars...... In a dream...... In the vast white mist, there were many black stars twinkling. Nanhe muttered.
Nanxi listened to her sister tell her dream, and her heart hurt. The world in my sister's heart, even the stars are so weird.
"Hey! In the future, if you fall asleep looking at these colored stars every day, the stars in your dreams will not be black. Look, what a beautiful starlight you have in your house, just sleep in this beautiful starlight and have a good dream. β
As he spoke, Nanxi helped his sister lie down and covered her with a quilt.
She sat on the edge of the bed and waited until her sister was breathing evenly, and then she stood up. Walk to the door and look back at the faintly shining stars on the ceiling and walls.
When she was in the night market, she also laughed at Liao Yijiang for being naΓ―ve. I didn't expect those inconspicuous stickers to create such a beautiful starlight effect.
She sighed, gently opened the door, and tiptoed out of Nanhe's bedroom and went back to her own room.
Under the light, the bouquet of flowers was like an abandoned beautiful girl, lying lonely and aggrieved on the table. Next to the flowers, there is a box of stinky tofu still wrapped in a plastic bag.
The two things are very contrasting, completely out of bounds, and they have a very comedic effect when put together.
But Nanxi couldn't laugh.
She walked over and rummaged through the bouquet again, still not finding the card in which she was writing. She opened the bag of stinky tofu, only to see a note inside.
She hurriedly took it out and unfolded it to see that it was Lu Zhiyuan's handwriting.
A piece of paper that was temporarily torn from a notepad with three sentences written on it: Have you had fun at night? I bought you a supper, eat it while it's hot.
Sure enough, it was him! The car she saw when she went out was indeed his! He must have been sitting in the car at that time, watching her and Liao Yijiang get into a car and drive away!
Divorce is different! If it had been before, either he would have rushed out of the car and dragged her back, or he would have followed her in the car, watching her every move.
But now, he's driving away right now.
Was he really going to give up on her? So what's the deal with the flowers and stinky tofu? Want to play deep with her? Does the so-called "divorce not the end" refer to this kind of silent harassment?
She was still angry with him, and in her current state of mind, she took it for granted that his behavior was a form of harassment.
I won't eat what you bought!
She was secretly angry in her heart, and she picked up the box and was about to throw it in the trash. Considering that the smell of stinky tofu is too strong, although she likes this food, she can't sleep all night surrounded by the smell of stinky tofu.
So she went to the kitchen with the box and wanted to throw it in the kitchen trash can. She stood next to the trash can, and the moment her hand was raised, she regretted it again.
The smell of stinky tofu wafted into her nose one by one, and although it was already cold, it still tempted her. She couldn't tell if her stomach was tempted or her heart was tempted, so she hesitated, turned on the microwave, put stinky tofu in it, and pressed the heating button.
A minute later, the microwave made a "ding" sound, reminding her that the heating was over.
She took out the stinky tofu and put it on the table. She pulled out a chair, sat down, took out a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of hot stinky tofu, and put it in her mouth.
It was very fragrant, it was the taste she had liked for many years, and in this silent and empty midnight, it warmed her stomach warmly.
But why did she want to cry? Chewing on the richly flavored stinky tofu in his mouth, tears fell down one by one like beads with broken threads.
She wiped away her tears and clipped a second piece...... A box of stinky tofu was eaten by her with tears in her eyes. She threw away the empty box, went back to her room, found an empty bottle, arranged the flowers, washed and went to bed.
She was extremely tired, and she wanted to sleep very much, but she didn't feel sleepy. This has been going on with her for some time.
How strange it is that when she was dumped by Deng Jiaxiang, she would also shed tears sadly. But after the tears were gone, she still fell asleep. Others said that falling out of love would cause insomnia, but she couldn't understand it at all, and she thought she was a heartless person.
Now she finally tasted insomnia, obviously her body was as tired as a puddle of mud, but her brain was galloping with thousands of horses, and she couldn't be quiet.
After tumbling like a pancake for more than an hour, she lifted the quilt in annoyance and sat up.
After a moment's pause, she jumped out of bed and pulled out her laptop. She hadn't turned on the computer for a long time, and she was afraid of seeing the news about the Pei family and the Zhao family, as well as all kinds of gossip rumors about her and Lu Zaiyuan.
But tonight, she couldn't help but want to know about him, about his father and mother, about what he was doing.
Opening the search engine, she knocked out several sets of keywords.
Although a long time has passed, there is still enthusiasm for this matter on the Internet and in the media. Probably because Zhao Liangmao and Pei Guanzai's identities are extraordinary, or because this is related to the future and fate of the two large companies, it may even be ....... It was Pei Tianming and Zhao Liangmao who bought off the relationship and created momentum in the media and on the Internet.
In short, the search results are varied, and there are all kinds of stories in this version.
Click on the latest news casually, and it turns out to be an article published by a portal in a prominent position.
The article tells a story, and the protagonists of the story are two people, one is Pei Tianming and the other is Xin Ping. The general content of the story is that more than 30 years ago, Pei Tianming and Xin Ping were a pair of lovers who loved each other. Later, Zhao Xinyao took a fancy to Pei Tianming, and after chasing him to no avail, she asked her father Zhao Liangmao to use underworld methods. Under coercion, the pair of lovers had to break up, and Pei Tianming was forced to marry Zhao Xinyao under pressure.
This is not the end, later Zhao Liangmao was worried that Pei Tianming would miss his old lover and not be able to treat his daughter wholeheartedly, so he sent someone to hunt down Xin Ping. They slashed Xin Ping with knives and set fire to her house. Later, although Xin Ping was saved, she lost a leg and was completely disfigured.
Nanxi looked at this story and couldn't help but sneer.
In the whole story, except for the fact that Xin Ping lost a leg and was disfigured, the rest of the parts were all made up.
But the author of this article actually knew Xin Ping's current situation, Xin Ping had only been in D City for a few days, and it was impossible for Pei Tianming to let her rashly expose herself to the public's attention. Then it is conceivable that this article was written under the instruction of Pei Tianming.
Since it was Pei Tianming's meaning, he didn't even mention that the road was far away, what did it mean?
Gradual? Zhao Xinyao, who hit Zhao Liangmao first, made everyone hate the father and daughter. Then let Xin Ping and Lu Zaiyuan appear, and at that time the poor mother and son will definitely be able to win the sympathy and support of the public. In the call to eliminate evil and promote good, probably no one will pay attention to Pei Tianming's action of encroaching on Zhao's entertainment, and Lu Zaiyuan can also show the identity of Pei Tianming's biological son.
The bullies-like Zhao father and daughter will be punished, and everyone will say that they deserve it. And the suffering Xin Ping's mother and son will eventually have good rewards, whether it is spiritual or material.
Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, and ordinary viewers like this kind of happy story ending.
Pei Tianming is really an old fox! Or...... Is there a long way to go?
When Nanxi was eating hot stinky tofu in the kitchen, she felt that the road was getting very close, and her heart ached. But when she sat in front of the computer and saw these entanglements between him and his father and the Zhao family, she would feel that the road was far, far away, and her heart was cold.
When you don't know, you want to know, and when you know, you will only add infinite troubles.
Nanxi angrily pressed the power button directly, turned off the computer, and poured back into bed. Tossing and turning, it wasn't until dawn that she fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know what time I went to bed, but a knock on the door woke her up.
She got up to open the door and saw Mother Deng holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms, standing outside the door: "Xiaoxi, someone came to deliver flowers just now, saying it was for you." β
Nanxi was drowsy, took the flowers, and said to Mother Deng: "I know, thank you." β
"Who is ......" Mother Deng couldn't help but be curious and wanted to ask. But before she could finish asking, Nanxi had already closed the door.
Nanxi didn't look carefully, she casually threw the bouquet on the table, she turned around, threw herself on the bed, closed her eyes and wanted to continue sleeping.
However, she could not sleep anymore, and the drowsiness faded little by little, and the bouquet of flowers on the table behind her seemed to have infinite magic, sending wisps of floral fragrance into her nose and grabbing her nerves.
She rolled over, stared at the bouquet for a long time, and sat up.
She silently thought in her heart: it won't be him, it won't be him, this time it will definitely not be him...... As a result, it is conceivable that besides him, who else will send her flowers early in the morning?
This time, he left a card with a line written on it: Since you already have the physical strength to travel at night, then please start working today. 166 Reading Network
