Chapter 34: The sunset dissipates and the twilight chill invades
"Thank you, Xia Xia. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info," Huang Quan said.
"Thank me for what, you should thank the Commission for Discipline Inspection for the call."
"Anyway, I still want to thank you. We can be regarded as suffering together, and if you have something to do in the future, just look for me. ā
"What a hardship! If it weren't for you, would this have anything to do with me?! Xia Xia said, "But fortunately, this matter is over, I went to sleep, and tomorrow is a good weekend." Xia Xia stood up.
"Xia Xia, I've seen it, there is only one bed here that can sleep, and the others are not made. Why don't we sleep together? It's kind of like a family of three! ā
"Say what. I'll sleep with Slang, you can find a way to go yourself. Shang Xia Xia entered the room and locked the door.
Huang Quan stood in the courtyard and shouted: "'Men and women have different beds for seven years old'!" Shang Xia Xia, you will bring bad children like this! ā
Shang Xiaxia's voice came from the room: "Only with you will you bring bad children!" ā
"......" Huang Quan was recognized and helpless. I had to lean against the tree. "I don't believe it yet," he muttered, "and it's not like I haven't slept outside." ā
When Shang Xiaxia woke up the next day, Huang Quan had already bought soy milk fritters and came back.
"Slang! It's time for breakfast! Shang Xia Xia ate without washing his face.
"Do you sleep soundly? Is it comfortable? Huang Quan asked deliberately.
"Well, it's comfortable." Shang Xiaxia deliberately angered him, "You sleep quite comfortably!" What a beautiful weather last night! ā
"yes, I almost didn't get a mosquito bite to death." Huang Quan really had a bag on his face.
"Hey, where are you going after eating in a while? Let's go together? Huang Quan asked.
"I'm not leaving. He's the only one left when I'm gone. Shang Xiaxia looked at Liang Silang.
"What does it matter, wasn't he alone when we weren't here?" Huang Quan said.
"What do you say, how can you say that Liang Sipeng helped you, didn't he? Shouldn't we stay with his brother? ā
"Okay then, you stay, I'm leaving anyway. I don't know how the house has been found, I still have to go and see it, and Zhang Yang, this kid, actually helped the village chief betray me, I want to ask him for clarification. ā
After eating, Huang Quan left. Shang Xiaxia and Liang Silang were playing in the yard. She is a big girl who is running fast, and she plays really well with children who have just entered junior high school. Also, she has never cared about age, not to mention that she will only be twenty-eight in a few days.
"Sister Xia Xia,"
"Huh?"
"Do you like my brother?" Childlike words.
Shang Xia Xia was stunned, and said, "I like it, your brother is the same as you." ā
"My brother likes you too."
Shang Xiaxia was even more calm this time, "How do you know?" ā
"My brother has a picture of you on his phone."
Shang Xia Xia remembered that it was a group photo taken by Liang Sipeng when he performed at heyJude for the first time. "You don't necessarily like a photo if you have it?"
"But my brother will look at your picture and laugh, I have found it many times."
Shang Xiaxia thought about this scene and laughed herself. I didn't expect Liang Sipeng to be like this!
"Sister Xia Xia, are you my brother's girlfriend?"
"You little ghost, do you know what a girlfriend is?" Shang Xia Xia pinched his face.
"I know, I'm going to junior high school, I'm an adult."
"Oh, what do you mean to be a girlfriend?" Shang Xiaxia thought of Huang Quan's words, and he seemed to be really a little bad for a child.
"Girlfriend is ...... It is...... My brother will be with you for the rest of my life! "It's a child's talk.
Shang Xia Xia was stunned. "Follow me for the rest of my life", what a simple truth, even children understand. But few people can do it. Gao Peng also swore to her like this back then, but as soon as the words came out, they dispersed with the wind.
When she was with Gao Peng, Shang Xiaxia, like all the girls in love in the world, thought that she was the happiest person, and thought that the hand she was holding would accompany her for a lifetime. But what should come will come eventually, and extravagant hopes will always be extravagant hopes. When he let go of his hand, Shang Xiaxia no longer had the emotion of "life is only as it was when I first saw it", and he no longer had the luxury of expecting anyone to accompany him for a lifetime.
The child's unintentional words made Shang Xiaxia think a lot.
At nine o'clock, Liang Sipeng came. Pushing the door in, Xia Xia was sitting in the courtyard with his brother.
"Brother, we're talking about you."
"Really?" Liang Spong looked at Xia Xia. "Where's Lao Huang?"
"He's got something to do and go first. Thank you so much this time. ā
"Don't be so polite. By the way, someone came to me as soon as you left last night, and I guess it was Lao Huang's village chief. ā
"They didn't embarrass you, did they?" Shang Xia Xia asked nervously.
"No, they were scolded by Anna."
"That's good."
"But didn't you say that Lao Huang was going to stay here for a while, why did he leave?"
"They found it last night."
"Huh?"
Shang Xiaxia explained the incident to Liang Sipeng in detail, and Liang Sipeng said: "It's okay if it's okay." ā
"Thanks to you this time."
"You're welcome."
"Hehehe......" Shang Xia Xia endured it as soon as Liang Sipeng came in, but he still couldn't help it.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Shang Xiaxia was thinking about Liang Sipeng's obsessive look at her photo, which was really not like the cheerful and lively him in front of him.
"When are you going home?" Liang Sipeng asked his brother.
"I'm not going home." Little Silang was coquettish.
"Didn't you tell me last night that you would stay one more day and go home, why, it doesn't count?" Shang Xiaxia said.
"Be obedient, you won't be at home again, your mother is going to beat you." Liang Sipeng said.
Hearing Zhao Meiliang, Xiao Silang was suddenly scared: "Then, can you take me to play today?" ā
"Okay." Liang Sipeng looked at his little brother helplessly. "Where do you say you're going?"
"Playground! I want Sister Xia Xia to go with me! ā
Liang Sipeng didn't say anything like "Don't mess around, Sister Xia Xia still has something," because he also wanted to be with Shang Xia Xia. He said, "Xia Xia, are you free?" Let's go together. ā
"Okay." Xia Xia agreed so happily that she herself was a little surprised. Is it because Liang Silang is here?
The three of them came to the playground and had a crazy play.
Liang Spong hadn't played like this in a long time, and the last time he came to the playground, his mother hadn't died. Shang Xiaxia is too, struggling with a humble career line every day, how can he have time to play so presumptuously! Both of them are close to thirty people, and when they were established, they had no work and family, and they still had their own sadness in their hearts.
Liang Silang was playing on the side, and Shang Xiaxia and Liang Sipeng were sitting at the drink stall chatting.
"I always feel like I'm still a child, and when I mess with him today, I know that I'm still old." Shang Xiaxia sighed.
"What are you old, you are not yet thirty. How old are you? ā
"Don't bring up such a sentimental topic." Shang Xiaxia himself said: "It's twenty-eight next week!" ā
"It's your birthday next week?"
"Well, Saturday." Shang Xiaxia said.
"Saturday...... It's the seventh of July! Your birthday is so good. ā
"What's so good about this, it's just a birthday." Shang Xiaxia has never taken her birthday seriously in all these years.
"July 7, Tanabata. That was the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met at the bridge, how romantic. ā
"You are a big man, you actually say romantic," Shang Xia Xia said, "What is so romantic," Yingying was silent. It's better to see you once a year than not to see you at all. I can't miss it if I don't see it, and this day is even more like a year. ā
"That's a peculiar idea. So what gift shall I give you? ā
"Gee, you're asking as if I told you I was asking you for a gift for my birthday." Shang Xiaxia said, "Don't give anything, I never celebrate my birthday." ā
"But birthdays? It's rare to see a girl like you, and it would be easy for someone to be your boyfriend. Liang Sipeng tested Shang Xiaxia's words.
Shang Xia Xia vaguely agreed.
"Hey, I've known you for so long, why haven't I heard you talk about your boyfriend?"
"Are you stupid, I don't have a boyfriend when I look like this." Shang Xiaxia was quick to talk for a while, and hurriedly made up for it: "I'm sorry." ā
Liang Sipeng smiled and said, "It's okay, I just like you like this, free and easy." ā
Liang Sipeng said something that seemed to be unintentional, and Shang Xiaxia's face was hot, and he lowered his head and sucked the juice.
"Brother, let's take a picture!" Liang Silang came out of nowhere.
"Okay." Liang Sipeng took out his mobile phone, Shang Xiaxia took it and said, "I'll take a picture of you two." ā
Shang Xiaxia looked at the two brothers in the camera, it was really good, I couldn't believe that the two of them were not born by the same mother; I can't believe that Liang Sipeng still has a holiday with Liang Silang.
"Okay? I'm going to shoot with Sister Xia Xia. ā
"Okay." Liang Sipeng took the phone again.
After the shooting, Liang Silang said again, give it to me, I'll take a picture of the two of you. The two adults were suddenly a little embarrassed, and Liang Silang said vigorously: "Come closer." ā
"Let's take a picture together." Liang Silang looks like a little master. When he approached Liang Sipeng, he whispered, "Brother, I'll help you." Liang Sipeng was surprised: "This little ghost, yes!" ā
The three of them played in the playground for a day, and they were really exhausted, and after eating, they sat hand in hand in the sunset. Passerby A saw it and said, "Look at a family of three, how happy." ā
Passerby B said: "Yes, look at the young couple, who are still young, where is such a big child?" ā
"Is it child marriage?" Passers-by guessed that they were heartily praising the overflowing happiness.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the alley, I saw a black car. Liang Silang recognized it at a glance: "It's my mother's car." Then he hid behind Liang Sipeng. Liang Spong didn't know what was wrong with him.
After a while, Zhao Meiliang came over. "Liang Silang! Come here! ā
Liang Silang was too frightened to speak, so he had to go over obediently. "Smack-" Zhao Meiliang raised his hand and slapped him. Liang Silang didn't even dare to make a sound, but his tears had already broken the embankment.
"Do you know how worried your mother is when you run out!" Zhao Meiliang scolded loudly.
"Zhao Meiliang! He's your son, why are you beating him! Liang Spen couldn't stand it anymore.
"I educate my son and take care of your business." Zhao Meiliang said, "Also, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!" You say, what are you going to do to trick my son here! ā
"It's not my brother......" Liang Silang whimpered.
"Shut up!" Zhao Meiliang scolded Liang Silang again, and he didn't dare to speak out. "Liang Sipeng, don't think that your dad will take advantage of you if you let you go home, the company will always have nothing to do with you!" After Zhao Meiliang finished speaking, she turned around to leave, and then turned to Shang Xiaxia and said, "And you Shang Xiaxia, don't think that you will have no worries about food and clothing if you hook up with the chairman's son, I have seen a lot of little sluts like you." With that, he got in the car and left.
Liang Sipeng's anger came up again, and he said to Shang Xiaxia: "Xiaxia, don't be angry, she herself is that kind of thing!" "Zhao Meiliang hooked up with the chairman back then, and today he actually has the face to stand here and scold others, and he is really not an ordinary person.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Shang Xiaxia didn't care what she said, she just watched Zhao Meiliang slap Liang Silang, she was extremely distressed, and she understood why Liang Silang didn't want to go home. She only felt that the relationship between Liang Sipeng's family was more complicated.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
"I'm sorry for you again."
"It's okay, I'm just going to sing, and I'm on the way."
The afterglow of the setting sun dissipated, the sky darkened, and Shang Xiaxia sat behind the motorcycle, suddenly feeling a little cold.
