Chapter 8: The Secrets of Seniors (2)
In the evening, when the senior came back from work with his bag on his back, as soon as he saw me, he hurriedly ran over to me and asked, "Xiaowen, where did you go last night?" Why didn't I see you when I woke up in the morning? β
I looked up at him and asked, "What else do I want to ask you?" β
"What? You didn't come back last night, you can't sleep on the street, do you? The senior asked in surprise.
"What do you say?" I thought to myself that it would be better not to talk about sleeping in the hotel first, and I would knock on the side of the senior first.
"Then I'm happier than you!" The senior said curtly, "I know that the little girl next door didn't have any kindness, why did she invite us to a meal?" I think her spearhead is all aimed at you, but when I followed behind, I ate and drank for nothing. β
"What you said made some of my monks scratch their heads, how do you know that the spearhead is aimed at me? Isn't it possible that it's possible that it's aimed at you? I looked at him suspiciously and asked, "No, I remember that you drank on the wine table last night and poured down, did you wake up again and leave me alone on the street with Xiao Yun?" β
"Not really!" The senior said nervously: "Xiaowen, don't blame the senior for not caring about you last night, I did drink too much last night, I can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and I don't even know how I came back." He gestured with his hand and said, "When I woke up this morning, I unexpectedly found myself sleeping in the bed, but this is much better than you sleeping on the street, haha, it seems that this little girl must have sent me back first, and then went back to deliberately fix you!" Do you think she's targeting you? Xiaowen, how did it feel to sleep on the street last night? The senior deliberately teased.
"Senior, don't make fun of me, can I say that it tastes very pleasant and comfortable?" I said deliberately embarrassed. thought: It seems that Xiao Yun is right, it is impossible to ask from the senior about last night, he drank like a dead pig last night, and he can't figure out how he came back, so asking him can only be a superfluous move.
"Is that you?" There was a sudden question outside the door, and I heard Du Ling's voice, although Du Ling and I met for the first time and only said a few words, but her voice was very special, as long as I heard it once, it was easy to distinguish.
At the same time, I suddenly felt the senior's body tremble, and the facial expression also changed wonderfully, I was surprised to ask what was going on, suddenly the senior pressed my shoulder with his hand, and said softly: "Xiaowen, the senior will go out to do something for a while, you can play with the computer in the room with peace of mind, no matter what happens outside for a while, you don't care, let alone be curious to go out to see, understand?" β
"Why?" I asked curiously.
"You're still a kid, and you don't understand some things, but when you do, you'll understand! Don't ask! The senior said meaningfully, "By the way, I recently found a few good pop songs on the Internet, and you can listen to them with headphones in a while!" β
"Where's the headphones?" I asked.
The senior seemed to be a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Just put it in the bottom drawer of the cabinet, remember to put it back after listening!" β
"I understand!" Before I could finish my words, the senior impatiently opened the door and walked out.
I thought to myself, what is it that makes my senior so anxious? Could it be that Du Ling owes him money and wants to pay it back to him?
I pressed the switch on the computer, and then the sound of a conversation between the senior and Du Ling came from outside the door.
"It's really you, I thought it was your junior?" Du Ling said.
"Of course it's me, do you know my junior?" The senior asked as if surprised.
"Of course, I saw him at noon today, and he said that it was your junior brother, named Zhao Xiaowen, right?" Du Ling said.
I thought to myself, this Du Ling's memory is not bad, and she can still remember my name!
The computer turned on, I opened the browser and began to browse the web, thinking: the biggest defect of this partition room is that the sound insulation effect is too poor, and there is no big difference between talking in the room and chatting outside the room.
At this moment, the sound of conversation was heard outside.
"Give you money!" Du Ling said.
I thought to myself that Du Ling really owes money to the senior, no wonder the senior is so impatient!
"How much?" The senior asked.
"Two for you!" Du Ling responded.
"Then I'll give you back two coins!" The senior said.
I'm curious, what are they talking about?
After a while, I heard Du Ling ask, "Has the wallet been opened?" β
"It's already open!" The senior responded.
"Then you put the money here, can you?" Du Ling asked.
"Absolutely!" The senior responded.
"Is it ready?" Du Ling asked.
"It's already placed!" The senior responded.
"Then you give me back the two coins!" Du Ling said.
I sat in my room and listened a little anxiously, what were they doing? How is it a bit like children playing games together, what put money here and there? If it hadn't been for the seniors who said hello in advance, I really wanted to rush out and see what the hell they were up to? It's inexplicable to speak.
I suddenly felt a little thirsty, then stood up and poured a glass of water, just sat down, suddenly felt the mouse move, I opened my eyes, for fear that my old eyes were dizzy and misunderstood, and then the mouse moved again.
I suddenly understood, it turned out that the senior asked me to listen to the song turned out to be what it meant, I opened the bottom drawer of the cabinet, and saw a black headphone lying inside, I took it out, and then plugged it into the headphone jack of the computer, the conversation outside was still continuing, I opened the music player, selected a few recent popular songs, and then put on the headphones, hold down the mouse, turn up the volume, and enjoy the beautiful pop music alone.
While enjoying the music, I recalled what happened at noon today, although I don't know when this inexplicable conversation between the senior and Du Ling began, but I can guess that it must be one day, Xiao Yun stayed alone in the house, and then there was a conversation between the senior and Du Ling outside, Xiao Yun listened inexplicably, so she opened the door curiously to see what was going on.
At this glance, the secret between the senior and Du Ling was discovered, and then, Xiao Yun may have contradictions, conflicts, and even scolding between them, with Xiao Yun's domineering character, the senior and Du Ling are naturally not her opponents.
After that scolding, Du Ling began to fear Xiao Yun, it may be that she has never seen such a domineering woman since she was a child, and she will avoid her as soon as she sees Xiao Yun in the future, which may be the only reasonable explanation why Du Ling ran away like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw Xiao Yun at noon today.
With this in mind, I began to have a clearer picture of the relationships in the hut, and I also had a more reasonable explanation for some of the things that had happened before.
The reason why the senior didn't want me to know the people in the hut may be due to three reasons, first of all, I have lived here for a relatively short time, and the senior feels that I don't need to know it, and secondly, the senior doesn't want me to know the secret between him and Du Ling, and finally there was a conflict between the senior and Xiao Yun, he didn't want me to be friends with her, so there was a statement that the senior had dispelled his concerns, saying that Xiao Yun's spearhead was aimed at me, not at him.
I took off my headphones, and the conversation outside had stopped at some point, and I sighed, feeling that everything was calming down.
After a while, the door opened, and I turned my head to look, and found that the senior had returned to the room with a tired face, and then lay on the bed on all fours, motionless, looking very tired.
I really didn't expect to be so tired when I went out to play games?
"Xiaowen ......" He shouted a few times before I answered.
"What's the matter?" I replied in a feigned ignorance.
"Have you listened to the pop songs I just mentioned?" The senior said slowly.
"Listen!" I responded.
"How does it feel?" The senior asked.
"It's pretty good!" I responded.
"Then why don't you have headphones?" The senior asked suspiciously.
"Oh, I'm a little tired from listening to it too much! I just took it off. I responded.
"Did you hear anything just now? Wonder what? The senior asked.
"Hear what? Wonder what? What are you talking about, senior? I don't understand what you're saying. With a puzzled expression, I said, "I've been listening to songs all the time, but I haven't heard anything, and if I want to say anything, I've just listened to a few good pop songs!" Heck, here's a joke, would you like to check it out? I said with a smile.
"You can't teach a child! Innocent, innocent, naΓ―ve! The senior said softly.
His voice was small, but I could hear it clearly.
"Senior, what did you say?" I pretended not to know.
"It's nothing, if you don't hear it, then it's better, if you accidentally hear it, you have to keep it a secret for me, understand?" The senior said.
"Don't worry, senior! I really haven't heard anything, if I really know any of your secrets, I will definitely keep it for you, and I will never say it, who made you my senior? "I suddenly realized that I didn't even need to type a draft to lie.
"Alright! I believe you! The senior seemed to be relieved, quiet for a while, and soon shouted loudly and entered the sleeping town.
I thought to myself, senior, you are really bold enough, if I hadn't discovered your secret today, I would have been afraid that others would tell me, I wouldn't have believed it.
I put the headphones back in the drawer, and then closed the computer, in the quiet of the night, I suddenly felt a little lonely, a little wandering, I picked up the water glass, stood up, walked to the balcony and looked lonely at the night view outside the window, thinking of the things I had experienced in the past, what might happen, my fate and future, my heart became heavy for a moment.
I looked downstairs, and with the help of the faint light of the street lamp, I suddenly saw a familiar figure, shuttling between the street lamp and the shadow of the tree, it was Xiao Yun, I exclaimed in my heart.
Her ponytail looks particularly beautiful in the night light, and sways from side to side with her elegant and powerful steps, fresh and natural, energetic and vibrant! I watched her walk, my heart fluttering, until she disappeared into the entrance downstairs, and my heart quietly regained its peace.
I looked up and suddenly felt a gaze staring at me, and this sudden realization made my heart instantly alert.
I glanced and found that on the balcony of the opposite building, there was a girl in a sundress who had been looking at me, through the skirt I found that the dress was blue, because the other party was wearing a suspender, and the skin was fair, in this dim environment looked particularly conspicuous, particularly eye-catching, but unfortunately the distance was a little far, I couldn't see her face clearly, but my intuition told me that when I just stared at Xiao Yun's walking appearance, she must have been staring at me.
I kept telling myself in my heart that maybe it was just a coincidence, she went to the balcony to watch the night view, and she happened to see me watching the night view on the balcony, so she looked at me a few more times curiously, and I happened to notice it.
But it's also possible that she noticed that I had been staring at the beautiful woman downstairs, and kept throwing disdainful glances at me.
I thought to myself, no matter what, the other party doesn't know me anyway, could she still come to Xiao Yun and tell Xiao Yun that there was a man staring at her upstairs just now, and his eyes didn't even blink?
I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of the door opening outside, and then the sound of the door opening next door, I thought to myself, this Xiao Yun must not hit me again tonight, I walked down the balcony, prayed in my heart that the Buddha would bless me, just put down the water glass, suddenly the door was knocked, so frightened that my hand trembled, and almost touched the cup I had just put down to the ground.
"Zhao Xiaowen, are you in there?" Xiao Yun shouted outside the door.
I was very entangled in my heart, I was really afraid of something, and I reluctantly responded with a sentence of "here!" β
"Open the door, I'm looking for you!" Xiao Yun continued.
"I, I'm already asleep, you should hear the senior's snoring, we're all asleep!" I responded.
"Bang bang bang" She knocked on the door three times and said loudly: "When you fall asleep, put on my clothes for me, give you thirty seconds, after thirty seconds the door doesn't open, I will kick the door open, and I'll start the timer now!" β
"Twenty-nine, twenty-seven, twenty-......"
I thought to myself, this timer is so bad! I had no choice but to walk over and open the door.
"How can it be so fast? Didn't you say you fell asleep? Xiao Yun asked.
"You're so fast, how dare I slack off? I just slept with my clothes on, and I can get together so it's fast! I replied.
Xiao Yun glanced at me up and down suspiciously, and said, "A man's words, few words are credible!" She waved her hand, "Okay, don't worry about this, this girl is in a good mood today, go shopping with me!" β
"Shopping? You're right? I'll go shopping with you? I looked at her in amazement, it is said that shopping is done by boyfriend and girlfriend or girlfriends, why am I so reckless to accompany her shopping? I'm a little reluctant.
She saw that I was a little hesitant, and suddenly said: "Don't think, don't talk, don't hesitate, I know what you're thinking, I once said, I'm your girlfriend!" After speaking, she grabbed my arm with her hand and said solemnly, "Go, don't resist, don't go against my will, otherwise I'm going to have a big explosion in the small universe!" β
I couldn't cry or laugh, so I was forcibly pulled and held by her, and walked step by step onto the street at night.
