Chapter 40: Shadow's Heartbreak
At this time, the little shadow standing behind He Cheng stopped screaming, but looked at He Cheng who was blocking him in a daze, and there was no fear in his heart.
"Xiaohu, come here!" A female voice sounded, and then a girl ran out of the alley, and after the big dog saw the little girl, he instantly put away the murderous appearance just now, wagged his tail and ran to the girl's side, and let the girl put on a dog leash.
The girl touched its head and looked at He Cheng, who was nervous, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I scared you, in fact, although Xiaohu looks scary, he doesn't bite, usually he doesn't even bark, maybe he was frightened just now!" ”
"It's okay, I know, Pitbulls don't bite unless they've been specially trained. I'm not afraid, but she," He Cheng said, looking at the small shadow behind him.
"I'm really sorry, I scared your girlfriend beauty, are you okay!" The girl who led the dog continued to apologize.
"I'm fine, it's okay!" Xiaoying smiled and waved at the girl.
"You like dogs too?" The girl asked He Cheng.
"Yes! How do you know? ”
"Because you said that Xiaohu is a pitbull, and you understand its characteristics, and the way you look at Xiaohu, that is a loving look, which is unique to dog lovers!" The girl stood under the street lamp, He Cheng couldn't really see her appearance, but her voice was very sweet, and the outline of her body showed a graceful arc under the illumination of the street lamp.
He Cheng nodded, smirked twice and did not answer.
"Hehe, it's late, I'll go back, goodbye uncle, goodbye beauty!" The girl waved her hand at He Cheng and Xiaoying.
"Well, goodbye!" Xiaoying also smiled and waved her hand.
The girl turned around, patted the big dog's head, and scolded dotingly: "Stupid little tiger, bad little tiger, disobedient, I will give you a ground if you scare people in the future!" Xiaohu looked up and licked the girl's hand, then followed her away.
After being frightened by the dog, He Cheng and Xiaoying's drunkenness suddenly woke up for seven minutes, and the two of them walked side by side to the lotus apartment on the mountainside.
"Weren't you afraid at all?"
"I'm afraid, such a tall and strong dog, rushing over fiercely, who will not be afraid when he sees it!?" He Cheng said honestly.
"Aren't you afraid?" He Cheng asked Xiaoying.
"I was scared at first, but then I wasn't scared!"
"Why?"
Then Xiaoying smiled and said to He Cheng, "You are blocking in front, if you want to bite, you will bite you, what am I afraid of!" After speaking, she subconsciously grabbed He Cheng's forearm with both hands.
He Cheng was stunned for a moment, at this moment, he felt that the person around him was a girl.
The two were silent all the way, did not speak, standing at the entrance of the courtyard wall of the lotus apartment, He Cheng smiled and said, "Have you eaten enough?" ”
"Well, I'm full!" Xiaoying stood in front of He Cheng.
"Okay, it's late, you can go back quickly, you have to go to work tomorrow?"
"I won't go to work tomorrow and rest, what about you? Uncle, what do you do? ”
"I'm unemployed now, and I have nothing to do every day!" It took He Cheng half a day to finish a sentence.
"Hehe, that's just right, you don't go to work, you go up and drink some more with me, I never drank before, I didn't dare to drink it It was this feeling after drinking, like fluttering, hehe!" Xiaoying is still a little dizzy.
"Don't, go up quickly, you can't drink anymore, drink more!" He Cheng directly vetoed.
"It turns out that what is said on TV is true, drinking can really forget your troubles, hehe, uncle doesn't accompany me, I drink by myself!" Xiaoying didn't care about He Cheng on the side after speaking, and walked towards a nearby shop.
He Cheng didn't stop her, but followed her silently, because when Xiaoying said those words just now, he obviously saw the sadness in her eyes.
Xiaoying bought four bottles of beer in the commissary, and also selected a lot of snacks, He Cheng wanted to pay the bill but was strongly stopped by Xiaoying, he had to carry everything without speaking, and followed her into room 318 of the Lotus Apartment, He Cheng looked at the number on the door number at the moment of entering the door and paused, why is it the Arabic numeral "18".
Room 318 is much larger than He Cheng's kennel, and the small space is divided into a bedroom and living room with partitions, as well as a separate bathroom, and the balcony is the kitchen, which is a real bachelor apartment.
"Come in, uncle!" Xiaoying looked at He Cheng who was standing at the door, and took out a disposable cup and poured a glass of water as he spoke.
"Oh!"
He Cheng took a look, Xiaoying's room was almost decorated with warm colors, which looked very warm, and had a very strong girl's boudoir atmosphere. However, although it looks very clean and hygienic everywhere, it is a little messy.
"Sit down!" Xiaoying motioned for He Cheng to sit on the sofa, and bent down to turn on the TV behind him as she spoke.
He Cheng sat down, subconsciously took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, and put it in his mouth. He hadn't smoked all night, and he was addicted to smoking, but he soon took the cigarette from his mouth again, stuffed it into the cigarette case, and put it in his trouser pocket the moment Xiaoying turned around.
But this scene was still seen by Xiaoying, she smiled and said: "It's okay, uncle, if you want to smoke, you can smoke, I don't dislike this!" As he spoke, he put the trash can in front of He Cheng.
"It's okay, you can't die if you smoke one less, aren't you going to drink? Come, sit down! ”
"Uncle, quit if you can, smoking is really bad for your health!" Xiaoying said another sentence exactly the same as what the girl said at the beginning, the girl always asked He Cheng to quit smoking, but never forced him.
He Cheng's expression was a little gloomy, he didn't speak, but he bit the caps of the four bottles of beer with his teeth in one go, and then handed Xiaoying a bottle, touched the bottle with her, and raised his head to drink a few sips.
Xiaoying also took a big sip of the bottle, sat down, looked at He Cheng and said, "Hehe, uncle, you are the first person to come in, I can't tell why?" I always feel that you are the most important person in my life" When she said this, Xiaoying shook her head and smiled, she herself was very confused.
"Hehe, look!" He Cheng said with a frown, making a very honest and innocent expression.
"No, no, it's not looks, it's not expressions, it's feelings, uh yes, sixth sense! Sixth, I feel that Uncle is a trustworthy person, which makes people want to get closer. Xiaoying shook her head.
"Hehe, I feel like it's going to deceive, in fact, I'm a bad person, but you don't know it yet!"
"Huh, huh? What's a bad law? Xiaoying was curious.
"Don't talk about this, come, drink!" He Cheng raised the beer bottle towards Xiaoying, and the two took another big sip.
"You just said you don't believe in love, why?" He Cheng's question was very bland, trying to make her feel like an ordinary chat.
Hearing He Cheng's question, Xiaoying was silent for a long time, as if she was caught in a memory. Then tears slowly gathered in her eyes like a trickle.
"Since I was sensible, my father and mother have always quarreled all the time, sometimes my father beat my mother after drinking, and the attack was very heavy, my mother was often beaten all over the body, and my mother scolded my father very badly, as if he was an enemy. At that time, I was still young, and I couldn't do anything about it, I couldn't even dissuade it, the only thing I could do was cry, and I kept crying, and then I went to junior high school, because of the fear of home, I chose to live in school, and since then, I rarely go home, I am really afraid to go back and see them arguing"
Xiaoying took the tissue He Cheng handed her and continued: "After I graduated from junior high school, they divorced after all, and then each found someone to start a new family, and I became a burden to them, and since then I have no home, let alone go home." ”
"But now I realized that although they have been arguing and fighting, they have always loved each other deeply, do they want to hurt (him) her if they love someone? Do you have to leave him or her if you love him? Is this love? If yes, I'd rather not! Xiaoying said firmly.
"Maybe there was some misunderstanding between your parents?" He Cheng comforted.
"What misunderstanding can there be? It's just that the economic conditions at that time were almost there, and there were no other contradictions! Xiaoying was a little excited.
"Do they often quarrel with each other for money? Is your dad very machismo? He Cheng asked.
"Yes! You haven't seen my dad again, how do you know? ”
Hearing this, the words "poor and lowly couples mourn" came to He Cheng's mind again, but the two people who obviously loved each other ended tragically, and their favorite daughter left a heavy shadow in his heart.
He Cheng thought of the girl again, at this time he felt that the original decision was wise, although the girl was very sad at that time, but after all, the sadness was short-lived, and now it is estimated that she has long been cured and has a new boyfriend
"Uncle! Uncle! ”
"Ahh
"What are you thinking? Thinking so intrigued? ”
"Nothing!"
"Come, drink!" Xiaoying slammed the wine bottle into He Cheng's wine bottle.
"Hey! Don't drink it, you're drinking too much! He Cheng said that he was about to grab the bottle in Xiaoying's hand, but she held on to it. Originally, He Cheng guessed that she was going to borrow wine to kill her sorrows, but now he didn't want her to drink anymore, so he was a little worried.
"Uncle, don't stop me, drink with me, okay?"
"Good! Then you can't just drink and not eat, don't drink so quickly, let's eat and drink at the same time, okay!? He Cheng said and turned the shopping bag on the table upside down, and the snacks in it were sprinkled on the table, including spicy fish boys, spiced peanuts, pickled pepper phoenix feet, sauce pig's trotters, beef jerky, etc., all of which were snacks that He Cheng liked to eat, which made him very surprised.
"Xiaoying, do you usually like to eat these snacks?" He Cheng looked at Xiaoying fixedly and pointed to the snacks on the table.
At this moment, Xiaoying's face was as red as if she had wiped rouge, and her head shook a little, but her consciousness was still quite clear, and she said with a smile: "No, these are all bought for you, I have long been full and can't eat, just drink." I like seaweed and potato chips, oh yes, and Oreos! Hehe! ”
"And how do you know I like to eat these things?" He Cheng was even more puzzled.
"I don't know, it's just that when I bought it just now, I subconsciously thought you would like it, so I took it! What's wrong? Xiaoying said it as a matter of course.
"Oh, it's okay!" The doubts in He Cheng's heart were even worse.
