Chapter 66: You Like Her
Wei Lai is certainly not the kind of person who is aggressive or even stalking, so after seriously disrupting Miss He's train of thought and heart, she didn't say anything more.
He Zhi went back to the room in a state of confusion, although she looked calm on the surface, even Wei Lai could see her dazed and helpless. Maybe by now, she has regretted going out today after listening to Xi Qiu's words.
But now Wei Lai didn't plan to push it anymore, she looked at He Zhi and returned to the house with a fugue appearance, then turned around and went out to the tofu stall in Zhenkou to pick up her mother home.
What Miss Ho needs most now is time, she needs time to figure out her mind, and she also needs time to accept this reality. Until then, all the persecution from the outside world will only be counterproductive.
Wei Lai turned around and left, and the small courtyard of the Wei family was calm again. After a while, Xi Qiu, who had been wandering outside for a long time to create a time for the two of them to be alone, came back. She watched Wei Lai leave, but she didn't know how the two were talking, so at this time, she was anxious to go to her own young lady to ask about the situation.
"Squeak" pushed open the door, Xi Qiu looked at it and found that his young lady was really standing by the window and distracted. I don't know what she was thinking, not only did she ignore the cold wind blowing outside in this cold winter season, but she didn't even seem to be noticed when she pushed the door in.
Miss doesn't look like she has opened her heart knot, and she is in a good mood, but the two of them still haven't made it clear? Xi Qiu was a little entangled, but when she thought of the brisk steps of General Xiao Wei when he left, she felt that it didn't seem to be.
The little girl was a little confused, but she was also used to not being able to guess her young lady's thoughts, so she simply asked, "Miss, what are you thinking?" Although she wanted to ask more: Miss, how did you talk to General Xiao Wei?
He Zhi was indeed distracted, and he really didn't notice when Xi Qiu came back, and when he heard Xi Qiu's voice coldly, he was shocked. When she saw that it was Xi Qiu who entered the door, she lowered her eyes again, and while she was secretly relieved in her heart, she also had a shallow sense of loss.
"Xi Qiu, why did you come back?" He Zhi didn't answer the rhetorical question, but her casual words seemed to carry two points of complaint.
Xi Qiu blinked, keenly aware of the hint of complaint in his young lady's words, but he felt even more confused. Of course, she wasn't stupid enough to say it bluntly to avoid suspicion, otherwise what would her young lady do if she was annoyed and angry? So he simply excused himself: "General Xiao Wei walked too fast just now, I chased after me in a hurry, and everything fell to the ground, and I came back after picking it up." ”
Naturally, it won't take that long to pick up a few things, of course He Zhi knows that this is an excuse, but she also understands that her complaint is unreasonable, so in the end, she can only let it go gently.
Xi Qiu saw that He Zhi didn't seem to have the intention of answering her previous question, and she naturally couldn't ask anything as a maid, so although she was full of curiosity, she could only let it go. Looking down at the bits and pieces that were full of hugs, he simply began to clean them up.
Seeing that Xi Qiu didn't ask, He Zhi couldn't hide his words. Her heart was very upset, and she also wanted to find someone to talk to, and by the way, she gave herself the confidence to persevere. So after thinking about it, she still asked abruptly, "Xi Qiu, do you think I like General Xiao Wei?" Or rather, does she like me? ”
Xi Qiu didn't know Wei Lai's identity, even when he was most flustered in his heart, He Zhi didn't think about telling the second person about it. Therefore, in Xi Qiu's eyes, although He Zhi and Wei Lai are not a match made in heaven for talented women, the two have a good impression of each other, and Wei Lai can be regarded as a young man, and he can barely be worthy of her young lady.
Speaking of which, Xi Qiu can be regarded as a straight temper, and he didn't think much about it when he heard the question at the moment, but just nodded with a natural face: "Naturally, I like it." If you don't like it, Miss, what are you doing in this remote Changning Town? If she doesn't like it, General Xiao Wei won't bring you back. ”
The bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused.
He Zhi has always been smart, so she naturally understands this truth, not to mention that what Xi Qiu said is irrefutable. Just listening to this unhesitating affirmative answer, her heart still couldn't help jumping, and she couldn't tell what it was like for a while.
Could it be that Wei Lai's words were really not narcissistic, but that she did like each other unconsciously? He Zhi blinked, and the confidence to persist was not found, but she only felt more confused because of Xi Qiu's words.
At this moment, even the heart was shaken a little.
*****************************************************************
As soon as noon, Wei Lai pushed the cart and came back with Aunt Wei. After packing up his things, he followed Aunt Wei to the kitchen to cook, except that his expression was more relaxed and his movements were more brisk, but it was no different from usual.
Of course, these slight differences naturally can't be hidden from the eyes of the mother, so as soon as the two entered the kitchen, Aunt Wei asked: "Ah Lai, you are very happy to look at today, is there anything good?" ”
If you want to say a good thing, naturally you haven't yet, you have to wait until He Zhi agrees, which is really a good thing for Wei Lai. However, the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time finally came out, and Wei Lai was really in a good mood, so he smiled relaxedly: "The weather is good today, and it makes people happy when they look at it." Besides, mother, when have I ever been unhappy when I went home? ”
Hearing this, Aunt Wei turned her head and looked out of the small window of the kitchen, the winter weather has become colder and colder, and she has not seen the sun in the past few days, and the whole sky is gloomy, so I really can't see where the weather is good.
Shaking her head helplessly, Aunt Wei smiled: "You just talk nonsense, people can freeze to death in this weather, where is it?!" ”
The weather or something, it's just a casual remark. It's been like this weather recently, and Wei Lai really didn't notice this, so he made a joke for a while. Fortunately, this joke was made in front of his mother, and Wei Lai only touched his nose in embarrassment when he heard this, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
As soon as I turned my head, I heard Aunt Wei say again: "You are happy to go home, I know." But I'm your mother, and I can naturally see that you have something on your mind. After a pause, he sighed: "You have been away for so many years, and you are probably used to hiding things in your heart, but now that your mother is by your side, if you have anything to do, tell your mother." ”
Wei Laiben lit a fire under the stove, and just lit the straw and was about to stuff it under the stove, when he heard that the hand that stuffed the straw was a meal. She was a little distracted and thought about what had happened outside all these years, until the fire burned the straw and almost burned her hand.
Hurriedly threw down the straw in his hand, and took some from the side to continue to ignite. When the burning straw was stuffed under the stove, Wei Lai lowered his head and smiled a little reluctantly: "Mother, don't worry, I'm back, what else can I do." After thinking about it, he still revealed: "I offended Miss He a few days ago, although she was good-tempered and didn't say anything, but these days she is also cold and indifferent." I talked to her today, and I just hope she forgives me. ”
On the day she came back, Wei Lai told Aunt Wei that she had already told He Zhi about her identity, so Aunt Wei knew why He Zhi was unhappy during this time. Hearing this, she didn't think much about it, but sighed and said, "In the end, we owe people, and she should be angry." Don't say that she didn't lose her temper at you, even if she beats you and scolds you, you deserve it. ”
Wei Lai was in a good mood all morning because he had made it clear to He Zhi. But at this time, after listening to Aunt Wei's words, the uncertainty in her heart came out again, and finally she had to nod silently, without speaking, but felt that her hand sank in the next second.
raised her eyes suspiciously, but she was stuffed with a bowl of tofu brain into her hand by Aunt Wei.
Wei Lai's father died early, and although the family had a few acres of thin fields, the life of orphans and widows was not easy. Wei Lai had almost no snacks when he was young, and the only snack was about this tofu brain, because the Wei family originally sold tofu.
At this time, Wei came to see the tofu brain in her hand and blinked, thinking that her mother was using this tofu brain to comfort her like when she was a child, so she heard Aunt Wei say: "Send this tofu brain to Ah Zhi." If you mention the previous incident to her today, she must be in a bad mood, and it would be much better to eat something when she is in a bad mood. ”
...... "Mother, I'm not in a good mood now, why isn't this tofu brain for me?!"
Aunt Wei understood Wei Lai's pitiful eyes at a glance, and the earlier dull atmosphere was instantly broken, and she scolded with a smile: "Okay, we have a lot of tofu brains, and you still eat less?!" Hurry up and send the things to Zhi. ”
It's just a bowl of tofu brain, Wei Lai naturally doesn't care about it, not to mention that it's still for Miss He, no matter how valuable things are, she is willing to give them up. It was only this morning that she said those words to He Zhi, and it is estimated that the other party may not have calmed down at this time, Wei Lai is really not sure that Miss He wants to see her at this moment. Kneel and beg to return to the field
