Chapter 20 White Sand in Nirvana
Outside the door of the dance hall stood two Chinese waiters in foreigner uniforms, although the atmosphere between Zhen Gu and Liao Wanyu was a little wrong, but they watched all the way, as if they couldn't see, and they all chose to be silent.
Seeing that Zhen Gu didn't speak, just looked straight at her, Liao Wanyu hugged her arms and asked tremblingly, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" ”
Maybe it was the low temperature outside that calmed Zhen Gu down, he lowered his forehead and sighed softly, "It's nothing, let's go in." ”
Zhen Gu's abnormal behavior made a knot in Liao Wanyu's heart, which led to the fact that until she left Jiangning and returned to Luzhou, she had been carefully observing Zhen Gu, for fear that she would do something wrong and make him unhappy inexplicably.
The weather in Luzhou is ten degrees warmer than Jiangning, and as soon as she got off the train, Liao Wanyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if she could stretch out on her homeland.
She could feel Zhen Gu's estrangement from her in the next two days, so she got off the train and found an excuse to leave alone, but Zhen Gu didn't mean to send her.
The rickshaw driver carried Liao Wanyu on the way home, and she recalled what she had seen and heard in Jiangning, and suddenly a sense of imbalance suddenly arose in her heart.
This imbalance was not obvious when she was in Jiangning, at that time, what she saw and heard all day was novel, and she didn't have a lot of time to reminisce and think, but now that she has returned to Luzhou in a down-to-earth manner, her mind and brain have time to turn.
Looking at the receding streetscape on both sides of the street, Liao Wanyu thought about a question.
If, she thinks if...... Abba and Grandma are still alive, their siblings have not been kicked out, and she has plenty of food and clothing, does she have the opportunity to see the new things at the persuasion meeting?
My younger brother should have followed Abba's plan to study abroad as a teenager, but what about her?
Will she also follow her grandmother's wishes and frequently appear in various social occasions until she finds a husband who satisfies Abba and is also useful to the Liao family?
Doesn't she like fine clothes and food? Wouldn't she want to live a life where she was greeted by cars and horses? Isn't it good to be an ordinary Mrs. Kuo who only worries about making new clothes and hairstyles all day long?
That was a predictable life, and now?
She couldn't have imagined.
She couldn't imagine what she would be like a year from now.
Where to live, what to do, everything seems to be unpredictable.
This kind of uncertainty, whether it is good or not, Liao Wanyu has no way to judge for a while.
The coachman's feet were very fast, and when he stopped steadily, he saw that the guest was still in his thoughts, and coughed, "Miss, it's here!" ”
Liao Wanyu came back to her senses, got out of the car, took out a piece of money and handed it to the driver, and walked upstairs with the suitcase.
There was the sound of intermittent reading in the hallway, and she walked up the stairs to see that the door of her house was open, and it was her brother who was reading.
"Pengsheng hemp, not upright. The white sand is in Nirvana, and it is black with it. The same is true of people's friendships. Gu should be a gentleman and a villain. ”
The text that her younger brother was reading, Liao Wanyu remembered that she had also learned, and it was in the second volume of primary education.
But Liao Xi entered the school very early, and the registration book should have been studied a long time ago, so why is it taken out and recited now?
Gently pushed open the door, the noon sun slanted into the hall, Liao Xi on the wooden square table heard the sound of the door, turned around and saw that it was his sister, immediately jumped off the bench excitedly, ran to give her a big hug.
"Sister! You're finally back. ”
After not seeing her for a few days, Liao Wanyu always felt that her younger brother was taller again, she gently stroked Liao Xi's head, but her eyes were on Chen Bingyi who was standing by the window.
This teenager originally cut his braids in order to show his progress, and his short hair was a manifestation of his self-improvement. But for some reason, at this moment he was wearing a blue-gray robe, covered with a black short coat, and a black velvet fake braid on the six-fold hat on his head.
"Brother Bingyi, you ...... Did you come to take care of my little waddle? ”
Chen Bingyi didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence, but his expression was serious, and he couldn't see the slightest joy at seeing his friend.
"Sister!" He hugged Liao Wanyu's waist and shook it twice, "Why did you leave a note and leave?" If it weren't for Brother Bingyi, how would Xiao Wei live? ”
Liao Xi's staggering words made her frown, didn't Zhen Gu say that he would arrange Ah Xi to take care of his younger brother? If Ah Xi didn't come, was Zhen Gu not arranged, or was he stopped by Bai Xiuzhen?
After all, they have been in Jiangning together for the past few days, and he may not know about the affairs of Luzhou, but his younger brother will not lie after all.
Putting down the rattan box in her hand, Liao Wanyu picked up her younger brother with difficulty and sat him on the wooden bench, "The shipyard suddenly sent me to the field, and I entrusted someone to take care of you, didn't she come?" ”
Liao Xi raised his hand and scratched his nose, rolled his eyes twice, and said loudly: "No!" When I got home, there was only money and notes on the table, and if it weren't for Brother Bingyi passing by to see me, I would be starving! ”
Chen Bingyi probably felt that he was being ignored, he coughed lightly and walked to the table, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down opposite Liao Wanyu upright.
"Little See, can you go to the next room for a while? My brother has something to tell your sister. He looked at Liao Xi's staggering gaze very softly.
Xu is getting along in the past few days has made Liao Xi get acquainted with him, and the little boy heard his words, nodded very cooperatively, and walked into the bedroom step by step.
As soon as Liao Xi staggered away, Chen Bingyi immediately changed his face, and he looked at Liao Wanyu coldly, as if he had a grudge.
"Where have you been?"
His tone was very hard, not so much like an inquiry between friends, but rather a bit of interrogation. But Liao Wanyu thought that she had really done something wrong by leaving her younger brother alone at home for a few days, and thought that he was worried about Liao Xi's stumbling, so he didn't do much about it.
Saying how she went to Jiangning, Liao Wanyu picked out the important ones, and when Chen Bingyi heard that Zhen Gu also went with him, his face turned pale.
His lips pursed and pursed, anger gradually rose in his eyebrows, and he stood up with a "whoosh", raised his hand and slammed it on the table.
Liao Wanyu was startled by the sudden loud noise, "What...... What's up? ”
Chen Bingyi stretched out his hand and pointed at her, gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you so shameless!" ”
“……”
Liao Wanyu felt that she was not responsible for leaving her younger brother at home, so how could she be so embarrassed?
"What do you mean by that?" She was at a loss.
"Isn't it good for me to take you?" Chen Bingyi answered the question, but his face softened slightly.
She pondered for a moment, quickly reversing Chen Bingyi's dealings with her in her mind, before she replied solemnly, "Brother Bingyi took me very well. ”
Chen Bingyi didn't seem to be very satisfied with this answer, he raised his hand, his fist clenched and released, the corners of his mouth moved twice, and he stomped heavily.
"How can you carry me behind my back and go out with other people's men!"
“……”
She is a free person, who is she going out with, do you have to apply in advance, according to the truth? Even if she needed it, the object should never be Chen Bingyi......
"I didn't arrange my little pods and left, it's really wrong, but ...... That's tolerance, and it just so happened that my cousin was going too, so naturally I went all the way. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her first outing, walking with an acquaintance who knew her roots.
"! Your cousins and cousins, what do you think of me! ”
Chen Bingyi's face was hideous, and Liao Xi staggered out of the bedroom when he heard the quarrel, and was frightened back by his hateful face.
Liao Wanyu seems to have a supple personality on weekdays, especially in the years of the Liao family, her mother has always taught her to be docile, but this does not mean that she is a temperless person.
At first, in the face of Chen Bingyi's inexplicable anger, she was still patient, but seeing him use that hateful face to scare her younger brother, she suddenly became emotional.
"You're too inexplicable! Zhen Gu is something I have known since I was a child, is there anything wrong with traveling on the same road for the first time? I may not have taken care of it, so I bothered you to take care of it for a few days, I remember your good in my heart, but don't you think your attitude is a little excessive? ”
Although she said so, Chen Bingyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, he felt that Liao Wanyu was simply ridiculous, terminally ill and ridiculous.
"You...... You shameless! ”
It's this sentence again, she doesn't understand, where is she shameless?
"The saint is precious in knowing himself but not seeing himself, and loving himself but not in self-esteem! You...... Why are you playing with my daring! You ...... This watery poplar woman! ”
What do you mean?
Liao Wanyu was speechless for a while, she looked at him in a daze, she didn't understand what she was doing, deceived his feelings, and became a woman with watery poplars......
Chen Bingyi saw that she was silent, and thought that she was speechless with shame, and for a while she was even more arrogant, and her fingers were about to poke the tip of Liao Wanyu's nose.
"I have sincere feelings for you and take good care of you, how can you use me and deceive me while not knowing other men!"
Liao Wanyu asked herself if she had some good feelings for Chen Bingyi, but that good impression was limited to knowing each other for many years and being familiar with each other. In addition, he had nothing to do with the people of the Liao family, so after meeting again, he had some contacts.
But when it comes to exchanges, I have seen him only a handful of times in recent days, and every time my younger brother is present, there is nothing unruly and unruly, and there is nothing to give and receive privately, I really don't know what he said.
Since Liao Wanyu understood that he had misunderstood, she patiently explained to him, but this person seemed to be a tendon, and she didn't want to listen to what others said, so she became more and more angry, and she didn't say anything at all.
"You say! It's not official for you to go to Jiangning at all, right? ”
He was unreasonable, and Liao Wanyu also lost patience, but she still cared about her friends in the past at the moment, and she was still civilized when she spoke.
"If you're not calm now, let's go back, Xiao Dang is frightened. If you will listen, I will tell you in a few days. ”
She didn't want to quarrel, especially not to quarrel with someone in front of her younger brother, but Chen Bingyi seemed to be iron-hearted, so he had to discuss it with her today and stopped her from going to the bedroom.
Liao Wanyu is very sensitive to this kind of pulling, because when she was young, the second sister and the fourth sister would bully her behind her back, so she was very resistant to physical contact in such an atmosphere, Chen Bingyi stretched out her hand to stop her, she didn't think about it, and subconsciously threw a slap in the face.
When the palm touched the dough, the sound was crisp and loud, and the whole room was silent.
