Chapter Ninety-Five: Jenny's Story (I)
If Alice had been a little younger, or if Jenny had matured, perhaps some would have mistaken the sisters for a mother-daughter pair. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Jenny was busy, Alice happily followed her, going in and out of the kitchen and the living room, bouncing like a cheerful lark.
Shi Lei is decorating the Christmas tree. It may be a little late, it should be dressed up in the early morning, or sooner, and together with the white socks with the gifts, it will be the biggest surprise for the children to wake up in the morning.
Shi Lei was immersed in it, and seemed to feel the joy of the festival, looking at the cheerful Alice, he thought: "Maybe there will never be a more wonderful Christmas in the future, right?" ”
The sumptuous food soon filled the table, and Jenny finally brought out a bottle of red wine from the kitchen: "Let's have a drink for this wonderful day?" ”
If you don't add drinks, red wine is the worst-tasting poison in Shi Lei's eyes, but today he feels that he needs it very much.
"I want it too."
Alice held up one of her porcelain-like arms and told Jenny what she wanted.
"No, Alice, you can't drink yet, you can only drink."
Jenny's refusal made Alice pout: "I'm 16 years old, just a little bit of an adult, and this is our home, not a public place." ”
"No, Alice, no, you have to wait until you're an adult before you can touch these, huh?"
Not being an adult is like a sharp arrow piercing Shi Lei's heart, and Shi Lei feels as if he is doing something dishonorable, which makes him feel weak.
Rejected by Jenny again, Alice's lips curled even more, she didn't speak again, she looked like she was sulking, but her smart eyes were not like that at all.
Shi Lei's alcohol consumption is not good, but at any time, he can control his alcohol intake, so he has never been drunk.
But Jenny was so excited. Drinking with a woman is actually unreasonable, you can only drink more than her, not less than her. Shi Lei gradually felt the dizziness caused by the surging wine.
"Hey, Jenny, you can't drink anymore."
Seeing Jenny drink the wine in the glass again, Shi Lei stopped her from continuing to pour the wine.
"It doesn't matter, Shi, it's a pleasant day, it's okay to drink more."
The wine in the stomach is constantly rising, the wine has come up, Shi Lei, whose thinking is not so bright, can no longer let himself think carefully, he just wants to stop drinking, he just wants to stop Jenny, and says, "But Jenny, you still need to take care of Alice!" ”
After saying that, Shi Lei regretted it, he knew that he had done something stupid.
The joyful atmosphere seems to condense, as if a crack has opened in a warm room, and the warmth will slowly disappear.
"Okay."
Jenny put down the red wine and returned to reality, she was no longer as happy as she was just now.
Alice looked at Shi Lei fiercely with undisguised disgust, and when Jenny picked up the red wine and returned to the kitchen, she gritted her teeth in Shi Lei's ear in a low voice: "I hate you big man, you better get out of here quickly!" ”
This was like a cold current, which instantly froze Shi Lei's heart.
In the end, Shi Lei fled, unable to withstand Alice's gaze, for him, it was the sharpest weapon in the world.
When Jenny staggered back from the kitchen, Shi Lei immediately chose to leave, and in a panic, he even forgot to take his coat.
Back in the house just a wall away, Shi Lei was struck down with great remorse, and he felt that he had made a mistake that he could not forgive.
Falling on the sofa, Shi Lei's mind kept echoing Alice's words: "I hate you!" I hate you! I hate you! I hate you......"
It's like a spell!
Boiling thoughts entangled Shi Lei, entangled his heart, disrupted his good work and rest habits, it was late, and he was not sleepy.
"Is this love? It's so a lot of gains! ”
Shi Lei tossed and turned on the sofa, thinking back to the scene that had just passed, the girl, the girl's face, eyes, the girl's words and deeds, and her distressing illness.
"Spiritual love" is the purest love in the world that Shi Lei once believed, he believes that love and sex are separate, but he didn't find her, he has always been sure that her existence is in a corner.
When he saw a girl, he couldn't raise the slightest **** in his heart, only love and companionship, this feeling he had been looking for for a long time, until today, when he saw Alice for the first time, he knew that this was the girl he had been looking for, waiting for him in the corner.
One moment of frustration and one moment of laughter, one moment of sadness and one moment of melancholy, the expression on Shi Lei's face kept changing with the change of thoughts.
It's late, and only the roar of vehicles on the road will occasionally ring, which makes the doorbell, which is not too big, seem particularly harsh.
The room was pitch black, and only then did Shi Lei realize that time was quietly passing away unconsciously. He fumbled with his phone, and by the faint light, he turned on the light in the room.
"Jenny!"
Standing outside the door was Jenny, which surprised him, and he couldn't help but think about it, and he began to worry about Alice's condition.
"Nothing will happen to Alice."
"Your coat, you forgot it on the couch."
Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he took his coat: "I'm sorry, I drank too much." ”
"Nothing."
Jenny handed the coat back to Shi Lei and did not go back immediately, which made Shi Lei feel as if she had something to say to herself, so he opened the door.
"Come in and sit down for a while?"
Jenny stepped in, her face a little red and her gait swaying.
Shi Lei stepped forward to help her, and with the help of the light, she found that Shi Lei was still wearing the clothes just now.
"You just went out?"
"No, no, I drank too much and fell asleep on the couch when I came back."
"It's a bit much, my head is still dizzy."
"You should drink less."
"But I'm so happy today."
Jenny seemed to have a lot to say, and as soon as she sat down on the couch, she began to gush in, "You know, Shi, I'm so happy today." ”
"I'm happy too."
Seeing Jenny's state, Shi Lei poured her a glass of water and put it in front of her.
"No, that's different. You know, once again, Alice has always refused to contact strangers, and when a stranger appears, she will yell in horror, but not today, she is very stable today, and she smiles very happily when she sleeps. ”
