Du Xisheng wore a white T-shirt for a few days, and the collar and chest were lightly yellow, which was the mark left by repeated sweat stains. A pair of gray house pants with a loose knot at the waist and blackened at the knees.

At this moment, he had a bird's nest-like hair, a scruffy beard, a withered appearance, and a scarred face with dark red scars. There was a plaster cast on one hand, and I don't know how he got it, the gauze on the outside was tattered, and it was so dirty that it seemed to have rolled in the mud.

After getting along for so many years, even if it was the most violent part, every morning, he would still dress up neatly, comb his hair meticulously before going out, Xia Ran looked at the man in front of him who looked down, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Xia Ran took off her shoes, casually put on a pair of suitable slippers, and walked to the kitchen with her things.

Du Xisheng had already reacted, walked over to stop her, and said in a deep voice: "You also let me out." ”

Xia Ran didn't seem to hear it, and saw that he was holding a wine glass in his unbroken hand, the orange-yellow liquid was only a shallow layer, and the ice cubes were lying horizontally at the bottom of the glass.

She looked at Du Xisheng's thin, sunken face, and said, "It seems that their concerns are superfluous, you still know that you can enjoy alcohol by making ice, how can you not do it so quickly." ”

Du Xi said, "Get out." ”

Xia Ran smiled at him and said, "I'll go make dinner." ”

Xia Ran just pushed slightly, Du Xisheng was pushed aside, and she walked in unimpeded.

Dinner is simple, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat any dry goods, boil a pot of rotten porridge, and make one or two refreshing side dishes, just deal with the past meal.

The kitchen fell with a layer of dust, and I don't know when he quit his aunt. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, Xia Ran found gloves to clean.

Xia Ran had just wiped the stove, and the man whose steps were slower than a turtle finally came over, leaned against the kitchen door, and gasped: "I don't need you here." ”

She opened the window to ventilate, and let the range hood work, obviously because she didn't want to talk or listen to people, but Du Xisheng still had a tone of death: "You heard me speak, you leave now." ”

Xia Ran tilted her head and sighed, took off her two gloves, fell onto the table, and turned around to look at Du Xisheng with her hands in her hands: "A big man, why are you talking so much, do you want me to go?" ”

Xia Ran was about to come out of the kitchen, and when she passed by someone, Du Xisheng reached out to stop her. She turned her head to look at him, her scarred face tangled and painfully twisted.

Xia Ran asked knowingly: "Are you blocking me with your hand, do you want me to go, or don't let me go?" ”

Du Xisheng gritted his teeth, refusing to speak or let go.

The two confronted each other wordlessly, and Xia Ran finally took a step back, returned to the kitchen to put on gloves, and got busy again.

It was an hour after the dinner was ready, Xia Ran brought a bowl of porridge to him, served a few dishes one after another, took out a chair and sat down, and gave him a chin.

Xia Ran said: "It's been a long time since I've been cooking, I don't know if the salty and light charm doesn't meet your appetite, don't pick and choose, just make do with it." ”

Du Xi picked up the chopsticks in a hesitant voice, and heard her say, "I see that I will leave when you finish eating." He frowned, and put the chopsticks down again.

Du Xisheng couldn't wait to see a hole in the neatly folded table flag at the corner of the table, so he said a few times slowly: "Don't go." ”

Thirty-year-old, calm and mature on weekdays, a cold and alienated look in front of everyone, after taking off his guard, he still has a little childish naivety.

It seems that no matter how dazzling the wind-chasing boy he used to be, when he was with her in private, he was always surprisingly obedient and soft. At that time, I thought it was love's fun, and it was a tacit understanding between two people when they were together, I was coquettish to you, and you endured my arrogance.

I didn't expect to experience it again a few years later, he was still in the play, but she was like a melon-eating crowd sitting on the sidelines, not embarrassing, but embarrassing. Xia Ran ordered the table at this time, and said lazily: "You better eat quickly." ”

Du Xisheng's face was released: "Either you leave now, or you don't leave, whether I eat or not is my own business, how old am I, and I still want people to watch?" ”

Xia Ran smiled and took over the conversation: "You also know that you are not young, and you don't need others to watch you to do things, so you run back alone, and you have to beat out all the people you take care of, what are you doing at home?" Take 10,000 steps back and say, you are an adult now, if you can't take care of yourself, at least you should settle the group of people outside. It's okay if you want to give up on yourself, self-exile, or dephemous, but you can't influence others. ”

Du Xisheng slowly went through the words and asked, "My mother called you?" ”

Xia Ran said, "You're not stupid. Being able to make her make up her mind to call me shows how anxious she is now. I didn't want to come at first, we left early in the morning, one is that I have no obligation to you, the second is that you have a girlfriend, and the third is what I just said, you are an adult who can think independently and dare to put down family affection and love to die, why do others have to be thankless to stop it? ”

Du Xisheng's face was extremely ugly: "Then you are still here?" ”

Xia Ran said honestly: "I didn't want to come, but I told me that I owe your mother a favor, and I have to do something for her to completely settle down." So no matter how sick I am to my stomach and how to reject me, I have come over with a cheeky face, and after this time, I will return to the bridge with your family in the future. ”

Du Xisheng said: "What favor do you want to repay, did you hide her from marrying me back then, or are you divorcing me from her now?" If you have both, you don't have to worry about it, marriage is also the freedom of an adult who can think for herself, and in this regard, you owe nothing to her. ”

Xia Ran said: "It seems that I did come by mistake today, in fact, I already regretted it as soon as I stepped on the plane." You probably never knew that it was really bad to hate a person in your heart, and you always had to stick a hot face to someone's cold ass. ”

Xia Ran stood up at this time, let out a long breath as if relieved, looked at Du Xisheng who was looking at the dish on the other side and said, "Then I'll go first, I don't care if you eat this dinner or not, I was originally entrusted by someone to see if you are dead or not, since you are still alive and well, I can also deal with her." ”

Just as he took a step, the table was suddenly pushed against the ground, and then his wrist was tightly choked. Xia Ran twisted his eyebrows to look at his bruised hand, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Du Xisheng said, "I have." ”

Xia Ran said: "If you have something, hurry up and talk about it, don't be like a schizophrenic patient, let me go for a while and don't let me go, don't always hold me so tightly, you rich people, don't you think it's interesting to go back and forth like this?" ”

Du Xisheng said: "I am dizzy. ”

Xia Ran said: "Then you sit down and don't fall." ”

Du Xisheng: "You hold me." ”

Xia Ran: "I'm here to visit, I didn't want to be your nanny, I left." ”

Forward, Du Xisheng's whole person rushed, Xia Ran wanted to say You should let go, he staggered and suddenly broke his legs and knelt down, and pounced on Xia Ran.

Xia Ran shouted: "Du Xisheng, don't think that I can listen to you by pretending to be dead, I-"

She moved her knees, and the man fell to one side like mud, and she quickly squatted down to help him, and looked at his face, his eyes were closed, and his brows were tightly locked—really dizzy?

Du Mu came with the doctor. Du Xisheng was weak, the doctor hung glucose on him, and the experienced nurse changed his clothes and wiped his body.

Xia Ran waited in the corridor outside the master bedroom, and on the wall behind her was a monotonous oil painting, Xia Ran stared at it for a long time before remembering that this should be the treasure that Du Xisheng brought back after an auction.

He, a copper-smelling businessman, probably fell in love with the painting, so the first person he saw made up his mind to get the painting in his pocket, no matter how much effort he spent.

According to him, he and another person competed for a bid at the auction, and in the end, he won it with more money. I just bought it so happy that I don't know what to do, should I set up a special collection room, or reframe it and hang it in a conspicuous place at home?

Later, as he collected more and more things and the price became higher and higher, the painting slowly and slowly declined from the peak, until it was gradually freed up and hung in this unattended corridor. Only occasionally re-noticing, he would still point to the painting and pause, saying that I had a good eye back then.

Probably everyone in this world is fickle, and there is such a process of turning from deep to shallow for everything, and her new shoes are bought, and the most precious ones are only the first three days. It's either that I don't like it, or I don't care that much, and then I gradually throw it aside.

Xia Ran couldn't remember exactly when they moved into this villa, what kind of mood they had, and what kind of struggles they had done. She began to forget how she had been loved by this person, and then betrayed, screaming that I was unwilling, and then a little numb, and finally moved away completely.

One day, she will not remember that in this corner of the world, there is such a painting that was once held in the palm of his hand and ignored...... Just like he had done to her.

Du Mu walked out of the door, walked straight to Xia Ran, and said, "Thanks to you." ”

Xia Ran said: "I didn't do anything, even the dinner he cooked. ”

Du Mu said: "I still want to thank you, if you are not here today, he will faint at home again, then I really don't know what will happen." ”

Xia Ran said: "Then he should be fine now, it's not too early, I should go." I haven't come back for many days, and I guess my house is dirty, so I'm in a hurry to go back to clean. ”

Xia Ran said that she was going downstairs, but Du Mu followed behind and said unhurriedly: "Otherwise...... You're going to stay here for a few days. ”

Xia Ran was stunned: "Huh? ”

Du Mu said: "Didn't you say, you haven't been in for a long time, you must have fallen a layer of dust, the time is really not early, you are flying today and coming to take care of Xisheng, you are already very tired, and it is too hard to go back to clean up the house at night." And I'm also afraid that Xisheng will lose his temper when he wakes up and can't see you, his stubborn temper can't pull ten cows up, and then drive the doctors and nurses away, I really don't know how long this disease will last. ”

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, no matter how many people they are facing who gnash their teeth, for the sake of their children, they can always go out and say all the good things.

Once the woman who can empathize and ask, "How long have you endured", finally return to her place, she can still let go of the bad things she hates the most, and turn to plan for her own flesh and blood.

Xia Ran thought for a while and said, "I'd better go back." ”

Someone was pushing the door in, shouting "Du Xisheng" loudly, she flicked her long hair to the second floor, and Xia Ran and Du Mu were also looking down at her.

Yan Xiting snorted coldly: "What a coincidence, Miss Xia." 166 Reading Network
