Chapter 289: Who's Little Mud
"There's only one room?"
I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes when I couldn't hear it, and I heard Li Yue'er behind me say this.
The front desk lady proposed, "Since the three of you know each other, why don't you join us?" β
Zhu Changle's eyes swept over my figure, and he hesitated: "This is not very good, Ning Huan, do you say that it disturbs you too much?" β
Li Yue'er and the front desk lady swept their eyes over, even if they turned their backs, they never stopped with the burning gaze that they received from the visit.
Since you know to bother, why don't you leave early.
I closed my eyes hard and suppressed all my emotions. Turning his head, he smiled mildly and calmly, "Okay." β
Just when I'm unlucky today.
"But I have two standard single rooms, one bed, won't I be too wronged by you......"
I haven't seen you for ten years, but when I see you today, you will sleep in the same bed with me if you have the ability.
With an apologetic look on my face, I said to Zhu Changle.
Where did I think that Zhu Changle had profound skills, he was stunned and didn't show any emotion, and followed him with his luggage gratefully: "Where will I be wronged, no, no, no, what hardships have I suffered in doing a small business over the years?" I've even slept under the overpass. It's good to have a room to shelter from the wind and rain, and I don't dislike or aggrieved. β
Damn, I can't do it.
"Miss Yue'er, you like those gadgets a lot." began to get close to Li Yue'er, who lacked heart.
I walked a few steps ahead and couldn't help but roll my eyes.
It's a pity that the naΓ―ve Li Yue'er nodded happily: "Well, I like it!" β
"Hehe, if you like it. I'll pick out a few more interesting ones for you next time in the room, do you like them? β
"Huh. Really? Okay, okay. β
What a fart.
It's just, it's not worth a lot of money.
That's why Li Yue'er is so stupid and likes to take it seriously.
Eh......
I regret it in my heart. I really shouldn't go to Zhu Changle for a little so-called justice, there is always a feeling that I am contaminated with this old acquaintance ten years ago, and then I can't get rid of her, and it will be endless.
When choosing a room, because I wish Changle and Li Yueer had a good conversation, Li Yue'er straightened her chest: "Boss Changle will sleep in the same room with me." β
Zhu Changle's eyes were full of light, and he said hypocritically: "That's so embarrassing, I have known Ning Huan for a long time, it's better to-"
My scalp is numb. hurriedly pulled the corners of his mouth: "Don't be embarrassed, since Yue'er has volunteered so much, you can live with you." Well, I'm a little tired and go first. β
I casually threw a room card over: "Na, Yue'er, take it." β
"Huh." Li Yue'er reached out and grabbed it gently, held the housing card, and grinned at me: "Hehe, Ning Huan." I caught it. β
"Well, good night." I smiled at her, opened the door in front of me, and closed the door.
With his back to the door. I breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I am a little sorry for Li Yue'er, Zhu Changle tricked her into buying a few worthless gadgets at most, which is better than watching her recall those past events that I don't want to remember.
I tilted my head to listen. There was talk at first, then the sound of doors opening and closing. Then calm returned.
I'm in.
I took a slight breath and walked into the bathroom.
I still can't help but think about it in the shower. Is it a coincidence or is it intentional that Zhu Changle is so coincidental and in the same hotel as us?
I thought of her small bits and ends, and the distance from the bazaar to the hotel, and counted the time. Suddenly it seemed reasonable.
After all, it is true in terms of time.
I turned off the shower and sat at the head of the bed with my wet hair on my head, wiping my hair for a while.
Knock knock, there's a knock on the door.
I looked up vigilantly, is it wishing Changle?
I hesitated for a moment, and didn't immediately get up to open the door, until there was another knock on the door, this time with an inquiring voice: "Hey, Ning Huan, aren't you here?" β
It's Li Yue'er.
My eyes flickered a few times, and I hurried over to open the door.
The door opened, and only Li Yue'er was wearing simple clothes outside.
I glanced around a few times to make sure I didn't see any other figures, and the inexplicable pressure in my heart suddenly decreased, and asked, "What's wrong?" What are you looking for me? β
Li Yue'er flattened her mouth: "It's to wish the boss." β
I wrinkled my eyebrows and said hurriedly, "What did she do?" Yue'er, you said, did she bully you, don't be afraid, you tell me everything. β
"What bullied me...... Ning Huan, what are you talking about? Li Yue'er looked inexplicable, "She snores when she sleeps, and she likes to kick the quilt over and over again, so I can't sleep before I come to you." β
I was stunned for a moment, and looked away a little unnaturally: "Oh, that's right." Well, when she was a child, she had a problem sleeping dishonestly. β
"Really? Then why did you think she would bully me? Li Yue'er had just finished washing, and her light-colored pupils were becoming more and more clear and flawless, "And just now at the front desk, Ning Huan, you don't seem to want her to live with us, why?" β
I was stunned again. Unexpectedly, looking at Li Yue'er, who lacks roots, her observation is still very sharp.
I turned sideways and moved out of the way and said, "Come in, you sleep with me." β
After coming in, Li Yue'er sat at the head of the bed and shook her legs, staring at me with her eyes, and continued to ask about the topic just now: "Why, aren't you good friends?" Looks like you don't like wishing the boss. β
Another truth hit me in the heart.
I said lightly: "Being a good friend in the past does not mean that you are now and will be in the future, many things are the same, not for a lifetime." Some people used to be friends, but they also end up being strangers for some reason. β
Li Yue'er doesn't seem to understand, and I don't expect her to understand immediately. When I entered the bathroom, I removed my hair wrapped in a towel and began to blow my hair.
Hula hula, hot wind scattering hair.
Blowing slowly in front of the mirror, the bathroom door was opened.
Li Yue'er flew over, hugged my neck and said, "I don't care, I don't care!" Ning Huan, we are good friends, then we must be good friends for life! Even if...... Even if you get angry with me in the future, you can't treat me like you did to my boss. Don't hate me! β
I was hugged, and the hair dryer in my hand was still hula hula.
"Why did you say that all of a sudden?"
"You have to promise me!" Li Yue'er shouted.
I feel inexplicable. But she couldn't pull it off when she hung on her body, so she could only persuade her with good words first: "Okay, okay." I'm not going to be mad at you, I'm not going to hate you, satisfied? β
"Hmmm......"
"Since I'm satisfied, let go first, I still have to blow my hair."
"Well, I'll blow it for you."
"I'll do it myselfβ"
"Good friends blow each other's hair!"
"...... "Who said that, even if there were, it was a teenage girl." I look at myself at my age, and then look at Li Yue'er with a stubborn face. After all, I gave in.
Hand the hair dryer over: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Miss Yue'er." β
"Hee-hee. Stand still. Keep your head straight, and don't move around. β
...... "What kind of sin have I done?"
This night, after Li Yueer finished blowing my hair for me, she was still unsatisfied, so she went into the bathroom to take a shower again, and came out with wet hair and asked me to give her the same treatment.
"It's your turn to blow my hair."
Me: "......"
My face was full of black lines, and I asked the sky speechlessly.
By the time I finished blowing my hair and dealing with her many problems, I was so tired that I just wanted to fall asleep, and I didn't have time to think about other trivial things.
Head dip into the pillow. Fall asleep quickly.
I slept very deeply this night, and when I woke up, it was already past nine o'clock the next day.
Li Yue'er jumped in, stood in front of me and said, "Hey, Ning Huan, you can sleep." I wish the boss to get up and leave early, you see she also gave me Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie. β
My hollow eyes swept over the colored clay figurines she held in her hands, and my head organized her words. Straightened up suddenly: "Zhu Changle is gone?" β
Li Yue'er blinked: "That's right." β
Yo, she's quite sensible. Rejoice in your heart. On the surface, he pretended to be calm and asked her, "Oh, when did she leave?" β
"An hour and a half ago."
"Oh." I nodded. Turn over and get out of bed to get ready to wash.
Li Yue'er couldn't help but remind her in the back: "Ning Huan, you can stuff an egg in your mouth." β
"What nonsense." I pretended to be angry, but I could feel that there was no power at all, and I ran into the bathroom to look in the mirror, and sure enough, my eyes, eyebrows, and the corners of my mouth were full of smirks.
Then he splashed a little water on the mirror, stupid, don't be infected by Li Yue'er......
However, after a good night's sleep, I didn't have to face Zhu Changle in the morning, which was really a pleasant morning.
Uh-huh......
After having a buffet breakfast downstairs in the hotel, Li Yueer and I set off in the direction of Huang Jia's message.
In the car, Li Yue'er was playing with the monkey and the pig there, her face was flushed, and the driver in the front row frequently looked through the rearview mirror.
I turned my face slightly, keeping some distance. lest they be taken for the same kind of fools.
This year, a girl in her early twenties held two clay figurines and muttered lines like "Okay, you old pig, see if my grandson doesn't beat you to death" and "Senior brother spare your life", no matter how you look at it, it looks like there is a problem with her head.
The driver is a kind person, and he didn't say anything until he arrived at the destination village, but just looked at me sympathetically when he paid the fare: "The son of my aunt's cousin's girlfriend's second aunt is also a child who doesn't grow up, and it's not easy for a girl to take your sister." This trip, even if it's big brother, I'll give you a layer. β
The car drove away, leaving me with the corners of my mouth twitching.
After a while, I sighed slightly and called Li Yue'er, who was also very engaged in playing on the side of the road: "Yue'er is gone, it's noon." Let's find a place to eat. β
There are not many shops in the local village, and it took almost half an hour to see a passable restaurant. I pulled Li Yue'er over, and just found the table and sat down, when I was about to call the boss to order, I heard a crisp voice.
"Boss, is there any place?"
My hand holding the chopsticks stiffened, and Li Yue'er, who lowered her head, seemed to have ears to the wind, raised her head suddenly, and waved her hand enthusiastically: "I wish the boss, I wish the boss!" β
Zhu Changle looked at it when he heard it, and when he saw the two of us, his eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then he smiled at the boss very naturally: "It just so happens that I know the people at that table, the boss doesn't bother you to find another table for me, I'll sit with them." β
At this time, it was the peak period of eating, the table was tight, and the boss wished that all the guests were acquaintances, so he packed every table, laughed and left: "That's great, you sit and chat for a while, and I'll come over and order for you." β
"Thank you, boss."
My heart was like ashes, and the dismantled plastic was crumpled tightly and thrown into the trash.
Zhu Changle came over, sat next to Li Yue'er, and met me face to face.
"Yue'er, you take the Monkey King and Marshal Tianpeng I gave you. Tsk, how about fun. β
Li Yue'er was in the excitement of these two clay figures all morning, and when she heard that someone was like-minded with her, she nodded excitedly: "It's fun!" It's fun! β
Her eyes lit up, and she began to tell Zhu Changle how she used two clay figures to interpret one place after another, and the more she talked, the more excited she became, and she couldn't stop at all.
When the boss came, I was the only one who was free, and after ordering a few dishes indifferently, I heard Zhu Changle on the other side interject: "Another pigeon soup." Little mud, after so many years, you still like to eat braised pork. β
Li Yue'er was attracted and looked at me with wide eyes: "Little mud? Who is Little Mud? β
I pursed my lips and said nothing.
Zhu Changle patted his head exaggeratedly and said, "Oh, look at my mouth, I accidentally leaked my mouth." Yue'er, you shouldn't have heard it. Ning Huan didn't like people calling her like this when she was a child. β
I stared blankly at the simple menu in my hand, black letters on a red background, but the words printed in my eyes were all legged and flailing, running around one by one, and I couldn't stay together properly for me to recognize.
"Huh, why?" Li Yue'er was simple-minded, but when she heard Zhu Changle say this, she was even more curious, so she simply tilted her head and asked me: "Ning Huan, why are you called Little Mud?" β
Little mud sounds like Ning Huan's Ning character homonym, but only those who have experienced that gray memory know the pain that this name brings me.
When I was brought back to the orphanage by the kind dean, I was already very old, and compared with those children who were abandoned and raised in the orphanage since childhood, I was very defensive and unwilling to give in. For a long time I couldn't fit into the collective.
In the orphanage, outsiders and newcomers are already easy to be bullied, and my behavior of never talking to anyone has caused their dissatisfaction. One rainy day, I was pushed into the rain by them, and I fell to the ground covered in mud and embarrassed.
They clapped and laughed around me, shouting, "Little mud, stinky mud, dirty, no one cares about it, no one loves it...... Little mud, rotten mud, stinky and like poop to step on! Hahahaha......"
Unhappy childhood memories came to my mind like a movie projection.
I clutched the menu tightly and said lightly, "I used to love mud, so they called me Little Mud." β
Zhu Changle on the other side sneered, I raised my eyes and looked straight over, and she was suddenly silent. (To be continued.) )
