Chapter 9 The Old Lady of the Du Family
Xue Chen didn't follow again, standing in place and looking at the back in the distance, frowning.
A shirtless, sturdy but not tall man walked over: "I said Xue Chen, what are you doing, you can go!" ”
Xue Chen turned his head to look at the other party: "I'm not going, you tell Fang Liang, I have something to do temporarily, and I'll help him another day." With that, he chased after him.
"You say I'm your ......"
The phone rang, I couldn't wait to swipe across the screen, and Xiao Ting's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Niu, why haven't you arrived yet?" Do you want me to pick you up? ”
"Ting......" My voice choked uncontrollably.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ting on the other end of the phone was surprised: "What happened?" …… Where are you? ”
"...... on the Road"
I felt like I couldn't take a step anymore, so I crouched down with my phone in my hand, biting my lip to keep myself from making a sound.
After a while, a woman wearing suspender pajamas and a thin coat ran out of the splendid garden and ran across the road.
"Shan, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Xiao Ting's voice, I got up and pounced, and tears finally burst out of my eyes uncontrollably.
The passers-by looked at the two people hugging each other on the side of the road, and Xue Chen also watched from a distance, and at this moment he settled down and turned away, with complicated emotions in his eyes.
Xiao Ting took me back to her house, brought out a cup of coffee and handed it over: "Settle down!" ”
I took it with both hands, didn't drink it, just held it in my hand, and used the heat on the cup to dispel the residual chill on my body.
"Look at you crying like this, what's going on?" Xiao Ting sat down on the sofa next to her.
Hell!
God knows how sensitive I am to this word now. I shook my head helplessly, not wanting to say anything, because I didn't know if she could accept it, and even if she did, how ......
"Are you talking?" Xiao Ting was a little impatient, and then sighed again: "Forget it...... Eat first, wait until your stomach hurts! With that, she walked towards the kitchen.
The meal was very rich, Xiao Ting rarely cooked it herself, I barely ate two bites, and she cleaned it up.
Xiao Ting looked at the bowl with more than half of the food left, shook her head and poured it into the trash, thinking: If I didn't know that you had no partner, I would have been in love with you!
By the time she came out of the kitchen, the number 9 had already crossed the hour hand on the wall clock - it was still early in the summer, and the nightlife had just begun, but tonight, it was impossible to get down to business.
"I'll take a shower first, and you'll go back to the bedroom after you're in a daze!"
I curled up on the couch and nodded, feeling much more stable, at least no longer shivering. By the time I got up and went back to the bedroom, Xiao Ting was already lying down, with a white mask on her face, looking weird.
In a purple dreamy bedroom, on a Simmons more than two meters wide, two women with loose hair are lying. One is quiet and pale, and the other is charming and moving.
I suddenly asked, "...... Do you believe that there are ghosts in the world? ”
"Huh? Ghost? Hehe^ your brain show is funny! ”
"Maybe......"
Then, after a long silence, Xiao Ting thought I was asleep and reached out to turn off the bedside lamp.
"What the hell am I!" I said this sentence hidden in my heart, leaned sideways, and breathed next to Xiao Ting's ear.
Xiao Ting's tired consciousness woke up suddenly, but she was not frightened by my words.
"Lin Shan, what's wrong with you today? Did you burn out your brain? She sat up and yelled at me.
I turned around, lay on my back, and said to myself, "I know you won't believe it, no one will believe it, and I won't believe it either...... Possible...... Really burned out my brain! ”
Xiao Ting sighed, lay down helplessly, and comforted: "Don't think about it, you're just too stressed......" Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at me: "You can't have workplace anxiety, right?" Is it resignation...... Forget it, go to bed early, and don't play depression at a young age! ”
Xiao Ting slept, in the dark, I kept my eyes open and continued to stare at the ceiling, where there was no light coming in from the windows......
In a courtyard of white bricks and red tiles, there is a white magnolia tree with flourishing branches.
A wicker chair swayed under the tree, and a septuagenarian man lay there, humming a Beijing accent in his mouth.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Outside the courtyard, there was the sound of the copper ring knocking on the iron door, and the old man opened his mouth and called: "Xiaohu, Xiaohu go and open the door, look at who is coming so late?" ”
A chubby boy of seven or eight years old ran out of the house, with beads of sweat on his forehead. As soon as the door opened, the little boy pounced on it, shouting excitedly: "Brother Chen! Grandpa, Brother Chen is here! ”
Xue Chen put down Xiaohu, led him into the courtyard, and bent down respectfully to the old man: "Grandpa, you haven't rested so late!" ”
The old man deliberately put on a displeased expression: "I know it's late, what are you still doing?" ”
"I want to ask the old lady something." Xue Chen replied frankly.
The old man wanted to reprimand him a few more words, and the little grandson on the side happily pulled Xue Chen to the house: "The old lady is in the living room, let's go, Brother Chen, I'll take you there!"
Xue Chen nodded to the old man and let Xiaohu pull him towards the house.
On the bamboo chair in the living room, the silver-haired old lady was chatting with her daughter-in-law, and when she saw her little great-grandson leading her great-great-grandson into the door, her wrinkled face smiled.
The old woman beside her stood up and said with a smile: "Xiaochen, it's so late, why did you come over?" ”
When Xue Chen saw the old lady raise her hand, he immediately stepped forward to hold it, and replied, "Grandma, I miss the old lady, so I came over without saying hello!" ”
"It's good, you don't need to say hello, you can come if you want!" The hundred-year-old lady looked at Xue Chen dotingly, and when she spoke, she was not ambiguous at all.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The old woman's mouth responded: "You accompany the old lady, and I will cut the watermelon for you." ”
"I want watermelon, I want watermelon!" Xiaohu shouted again and followed the old woman out.
There were only two grandchildren left in the house, and the old lady had a shrewd look in her eyes, and said to Xue Chen: "Say, did something happen?" ”
"Hehe, I really can't hide anything from the old lady!" Xue Chen pondered: "I met a girl today, and she was ...... With an unusual touch! ”
The old lady said lightly: "It's an evil one! ”
Xue Chen shook his head: "It's not as simple as hitting the evil spirit. ”
"Oh?" The old lady groaned slightly: "Could it be that girl is a ghost?" ”
Xue Chen frowned and said, "By the way, she has a bell, I think that thing is a bit unusual, it's ...... than your mahogany hairpin" Xue Chen paused and continued: "It's amazing!" However, she threw it! ”
When the old lady heard this, she became interested: "Is there such a mysterious thing? She pursed her lips and deliberately quipped: "This big night came to see my old woman for this matter, isn't it, you kid has fallen in love with someone?" ”
Xue Chen looked at the old lady with a smile and replied, "You have the heart to make me happy, it seems that you have been doing well recently!" ”
