Chapter 24: The Sail (16)
She turned her face to his shoulder, and bit down with all her strength...... She bit him so hard that the roots of her teeth were sore, and her eyes were hot.
"You wicked woman." Tao Xiang's voice was hoarse.
Jingyi let go.
The smell of alcohol in his body was fueled by the fire on his body and became more and more intense, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Tao Xiang looked at her face. He looked very carefully, very carefully, with a drunken hazy look, as if he were looking at something that could not be seen clearly.
"Every time, I believe in you...... I believe in you every time. Do you know that I believe every time...... You lied to me, is it the last time? Tao Xiang's hand held Jingyi's neck, and his hand gradually clenched.
Jingyi closed her eyes. Tao Xiang's palms were extremely hot, choking her throat. She was already having some difficulty breathing, and she was almost suffocating.
"I really want to kill you." He whispered. Jing Yi opened her eyes slightly. His face was no more than inches away from hers, and his voice was thin and cold. She didn't move, and his shadow began to dim in her eyes...... His lips were close to her ear, almost touching her, "I really want to...... Kill you......"
He pushed her away and laughed.
Jingyi reached out and grabbed the lampstand so that she wouldn't fall. Fresh air rushed into the body, and the lungs hurt as if they were about to explode. It took a while for her to recover, and Tao Xiang's laughter grew louder and louder. She turned her head to look at himβTao Xiang staggered to her feet, and walked towards herβshe instinctively wanted to run away, but when she saw Tao Xiang's eyes, she froze.
She stood there motionless, watching the tall man come up to her. Her back was pressed against the lampstand. The lampstand was swaying slightly with her body, and the hanging glass lamp, the colorful light swayed like a madman, making his face have a strange color...... She opened her mouth, speechless.
His eyes were fixed on her face, holding the glass lamp in his hand to stabilize it.
She looked up at him.
Tao Xiang had a smile on his face and whispered, "Jingyi is a smart-faced and stupid child, Aunt Tao, please be patient with her......"
As he spoke, his hand slammed into the ground, and the lampstand fell to the ground, and the glass lamp fell with a crisp cracking sound.
Tao Xiang said in the shadows: "Mother's words are not right. It's not you who is stupid, it's me. β
His voice was as soft as a dream, and she didn't dare to breathe any harder.
He didn't look like he was drunk at all, and he said every word very clearly.
As if in a dream, his hug was gentle and gentle, and he said, "I thought that you were mine, and my heart, sooner or later, would also be mine." Once given to me, it will always be mine. β
Jingyi watched the oil lamp roll down on the carpet, kerosene and flames, lingering...... She also wanted to hug him, but his hand was raised in the air, and his arms were empty, and he had already turned around.
"I'll arrange for you to go as soon as possible...... Let's go...... I don't want to see you again. Before he could finish speaking, the man had already collapsed on the bed. Soon, all he could hear was his deep breathing......
Jingyi wrapped her robe tightly. The sweat on his body seemed to soak his clothes, but his feet were extremely cold. She wrapped her arms around her body and slowly stepped back...... Getting farther and farther away from him.
She quietly walked out and turned off the lights one by one.
She walked a long way in the dark, the soles of her feet seemed to be paved with thorns, and every step hurt her heart...... When she reached the middle of the staircase, she finally couldn't hold it anymore and slipped down the stairs.
Someone walked up to her, and she looked up and saw that it was Zhang's mother.
Zhang's mother put a cloak on her and looked at her worriedly.
Jing Yi said, "You go and see the Seventh Young Master...... Look at him......"
Zhang's mother helped Jingyi up.
Jingyi whispered to her, "I don't care, you go take care of him." β
She pushed Zhang's mother away and walked upstairs. She quietly went and carried her sleeping daughter back to her room.
Nan Nan is very well-behaved, in her arms, kissed by her......
As soon as the sky was bright, Qiu Wei woke up, lay on the bed, and watched Jing Yi and Nan babbling and talking--a faint halo around the mother and daughter, getting brighter and brighter--Jing Yi saw Qiu Wei wake up, handed Nan Nan to the nurse, urged her to wash her face, and then went home with Atul...... Qiu Wei looked at her as usual, although she was still a little uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't just stay here, but it made Jingyi uneasy, so she agreed to her.
Tu Huyi was waiting for Qiu Wei outside early in the morning, and when he saw that it was Jingyi who hugged Qiu Wei and sent Qiu Wei down in person, he hurriedly came over to say goodbye.
Jingyi asked Zhang's mother to prepare early, and after using it, she sent them out of the door. Qiu Wei asked her to go back quickly, she nodded, smiled and watched them leave - Tiger Wing helped Qiu Wei very carefully, and walked safely in the alley...... In the early morning, the air was cool, and Jing Yi looked at the girl in her arms, the fat doll wrapped in a red silk cotton jacket, her face flushed.
"Young grandma, go back, it's cold outside...... Young Master Qilin is going to school. Zhang's mother said.
Jingyi stood down, and sure enough, he saw Fushun taking Qilin'er's hand and walking towards this side. When Qilin'er saw her, she let go of Fushun's hand and ran.
"Little aunt!" Qilin'er shouted. He ran fast, and Fushun chased after him.
"Slow down!" Jing Yi hurriedly said. Qilin'er ran to her, crossed her feet to see her little sister, and Jingyi squatted down. When she heard the noise, she turned her head to look.
"Little aunt, I haven't seen my little sister for a few days, it's weird." Qilin'er said, stretched out her hand, shook it in front of Nannan, and talked to her.
"Young grandma." Fushun caught up, "Young Master Qilin, it's time to be late for school." Go back and teach you a lesson. β
"Alright, alright, I know." Qilin'er has seen Nannan and is satisfied. bowed to Jingyi and said respectfully, "Little aunt, I went to school." β
"Go ahead. Study well, don't be naughty. Jingyi said.
Zhang's mother saw Qilin'er and Fushun leaving, helped Jingyi into the courtyard gate, and said, "When will Nan Nan carry her schoolbag to school?" β
Jingyi looked at her daughter and whispered, "There will always be a day." β
"It's fast to say...... Grandma go into the house. Zhang's mother said.
"Grandma Seven." The voice was neither high nor low, Jingyi stopped and saw Ha Deguang who had just stepped into the courtyard gate.
Hade Guang came to greet Jingyi and said, "Seventh young grandmother is early. β
"Ha Boss morning." Jingyi looked at him, "Is there anything wrong with coming so early?" β
Hade said widely: "I don't know if the Seventh Young Master has gotten up?" I have something to tell the Seventh Young Master. β
Jingyi looked back at Zhang's mother, and Zhang's mother hurriedly said that the seventh young master was still asleep.
"Then I'll wait for the Seventh Young Master to get up." Harder looked at Nan Nan, "Miss Sun's birth is really painful." I heard that the old lady came back with letters every day, and they all asked Miss Sun. The wife said that everyone else is not in the heart of the old lady and the old lady...... The old lady came back with a few words. β
Jingyi said: "Seeing that the sky is getting cold again, it's time to come back......
"Yes. My wife was about to pick it up in person, so she came to a letter saying that she would be back in two days. This year is colder than usual, and there has been light snow in Shichuan for several days. Hade Guang said.
While they were talking, a messenger came in from outside, saying that Mrs. had sent someone. Before the words fell, I saw Mrs. Tao's old mother Liu enter the door. came over and asked Jingyi to say goodbye first, saying that Mrs. had instructions to ask the seventh young grandmother to come over.
Jingyi didn't expect Mrs. Tao to ask her to come and call her over so early. She didn't think much about it, so she handed it over to Zhang's mother. Zhang's mother hurriedly asked Yue'er to go up and get Jingyi's coat. Zhang's mother looked at Jingyi's snow-white face, and she was always worried and wanted Yue'er to follow. Liu said that there was someone in front of his wife who was serving the seventh young grandmother.
Jingyi was stunned, and with a sigh in her heart, she saw Zhang's mother's face change slightly. She put on her coat, raised her hand and touched Nannan's face, kissed her, and said, "It's time to feed Nannan's milk, Zhang's mother, remember to tell Nannan, don't always eat by Nannan's temperament......"
As she spoke, she descended the stairs and heard a whisper, as if she understood her words. She smiled back at her.
Zhang's mother hugged her tightly and watched Jingyi follow Liu through the courtyard...... Jingyi's figure is thin and soft in the morning light. When you cross the threshold, you look back and smile, and then you disappear.
"Mother Zhang, go and ask the Seventh Young Master to get up." Hade Guang said suddenly.
Zhang's mother nodded, turned around and went into the house, and handed the nanny to the nanny.
At this moment, the door opened, and Tao Xiang walked out of it.
He's cleaned up. Seeing that the girl was here, he put down his military hat and asked the nanny to give him the child.
She sniffed her little nose and was about to cry with her mouth flattened.
Tao Xiang patted her on the back, and just about to appease her, she heard Zhang's mother say: "Young master, just now my wife asked people to pick up the young grandmother, and she didn't let people follow ......."
Tao Xiang paused, saw Hade Guang here, and asked first, "Is there something wrong with Uncle Guang?" β
"There is something important to tell the Seventh Young Master." Hade Guang came over, "Xin'er from Shichuan, there was a courtyard in Zhuangzi that was flooded the night before, and although no one was hurt, the old lady and the old aunt were a little frightened, saying that they would come back in the next two days. β
Tao Xiang said: "Be sure to find out the reason. Send more people over to ensure the safety of the old lady. β
The telephone bell rang in the study. Tao Xiang waved his hand and went into the study to listen to the phone.
He hugged Nannan between his arms, listening to the work of the telephone, and his little hand pulled the telephone line...... He put the microphone on and looked at Nannan.
Someone outside the door shouted to report, it was Li Dalong.
