Chapter 017: I'm Your Granddaughter
There will be many secrets in this world, and not every secret needs to be known.
Even Xue Xuxu himself is the same, a secret that cannot be said.
Shen Liyang said goodbye, but his hand rested on the window and did not go back.
"What's wrong?" Xue Xuxu turned his head and asked again.
The corners of his mouth hooked, not much expression, but his hand caressed her cheek, and swept it gently like a feather brush, and finally the tip of his thumb rested on his rosy lips.
Suddenly, Xue Xu's face turned awkwardly, and he quickly retracted half of his body, and in a state of confusion, he urged the master to hurry up.
The panicked and cute appearance made someone smile a little deeper.
Shen Liyang retracted his hand into his trouser pocket before the glass window closed, and then walked in the direction of his own house without looking back, but when he heard the sound of the wheels running, he involuntarily looked sideways and silently wrote down the license plate number.
The taxi driver looked at Xue Xuxu, who was flushed in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but sigh, "Little girl, my uncle advises you to study hard now." Falling in love is such a thing, and there will be more time in the future, so it's in a hurry! ”
Hearing this, Xue Xuxu raised her head and looked in the rearview mirror, smiled and turned her head to open the window, and the wind swept in, bringing a lot of heat, which also made her sober up a lot.
The master looked at Xue Xuxu, who was unmoved, realized his mouth, shrugged his shoulders and continued to drive towards his destination.
And just when the master thought that the friendly contact was terminated because he was disgusted, Xue Xuxu in the back seat suddenly muttered back to him, "Well, you're right." ”
Belch.
It sounds quite sincere, but the expression on that face is hard to say.
Driving all the way to the Xue family's old house, the master turned around and left after putting down Xue Xuxu.
But after getting out of the car, Xue Xuxu became homeless.
Standing in front of the dark gate, Xue Xuxu reached out and touched the peony carving on the big iron door, thinking about his parents who had fallen asleep inside, and had a momentary impulse to go and see.
But, forget it! There were two Xue lifelike in front of everyone's eyes, what a big deal it must be.
Just, what's next? Xue Xuxu looked dazed.
Leaning against the wall and thinking for a while, she still planned to stay away from this place, so she let out a long sigh and walked down the hill in the direction she had come.
Fortunately, it was early summer, and the night was lukewarm, and the moonlight, which was half covered by clouds overhead, was also a poetic scene.
Xue Xuxu, who was comforting himself like this, walked slowly and leisurely with his hands, but not long after he left, he heard a small and fragmented voice behind him.
Xue Xuxu looked back and saw a figure popping out of the grass; And that position was the direction in which Xue Xuxu bumped into Jiang Hao last time.
The gap in the wall is hidden and imperceptible, and only two people know about it.
Yes, Xue Xuxu squinted through the thin moonlight and saw that it was really her eldest brother Xue Jiangshan.
It's so late, Xue Jiangshan is going to meet those fox friends again?
When Xue Xuxu hesitated, but after seeing Xue Jiangshan jump out of the grass, he looked left and right very carefully, and then walked up the mountain with the box in his hand.
Xue Xuxu unintentionally walked under the shaded tree, a dark place where the light and moonlight could not shine, so Xue Jiangshan didn't find it. But his sneaky actions aroused Xue Xuxu's suspicions.
The old mansion of the Xue family is built on the mountainside, and there is a pavilion along the mountain road, which can attract many people to see the beautiful scenery of the sunrise in summer. There are two roads up the mountain, one is the winding mountain road in front of Xue's house, and the other is the fitness trail built by the government.
If you have money to drive, you have no money on the 11th Road, but what does it mean to walk on the road in the middle of the night with a suitcase?
I followed Xue Jiangshan all the way to the top of the mountain, and saw him standing in front of the gazebo with a box in his hand, pacing back and forth restlessly, and probing in the direction of the fitness trail from time to time.
What's going on?
Doubts formed in his mind, and Xue Xuxu couldn't help but move closer a little further.
However, there were many stones on the top of the mountain, and the lights were dim, so if I didn't pay attention to my feet, I made a noise.
"Who!" Obviously, Xue Jiangshan was very nervous, and he was frightened by such a small sound, and he looked in the direction of the sound, and at the same time retreated towards the position of the trailhead.
It made Xue Xuxu, who was panicked for a while, add more doubts.
Xue Xuxu stepped out of the shadows under the tree and showed his face with a solemn expression.
Xue Jiangshan took a look, and his panicked footsteps finally stopped, but Xue Xuxu's appearance made him worried.
"Lifelike." He called softly, and made sure again.
Carrying the box, he looked behind him and ran towards Xue Xuxu quickly, "How did you get here!" ”
The simple five words are undoubtedly not the heaviest sentence he has said to his own sister over the years.
Yes, Xue Xuxu was dumbfounded, frowned at the young man in front of him in his prime, and naturally fell his gaze on the box in his right hand.
"Brother, why are you here so late?"
Xue Jiangshan, "......"
Xue Jiangshan replied in silence, raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, and then pulled Xue Xuxu to the shade of the tree just now, and pressed her whole body tightly against the trunk.
"Just hide, don't make a sound. Remember, don't make a noise! After speaking, Xue Jiangshan carried the box and returned to the place where he was standing.
At this moment, Xue Xuxu, even if she had more questions, she could see the seriousness of the matter from the serious expression on her brother's face, so she didn't make trouble, and hid quietly in the dark according to her words.
The place has its back to the gazebo, and you can't see the wind and grass on the top of the hill.
But soon, Xue Xuxu heard a lot of chaotic footsteps, coming from the direction of the fitness trail, as if there were a lot of people.
"Where's the stuff?" A gruff voice sounded in the silence of the night, with an eerie smell of it.
Xue Xuxu thought that this should be said to his brother.
However, Xue Xuxu didn't hear Xue Jiangshan's voice, and after a while, the chaotic footsteps began to sound again, followed away, and then there was a calm madman.
Because he couldn't see it, Xue Xuxu was worried about his heart at the moment.
But just when she was about to break through the limit of her patience repeatedly, Xue Jiangshan appeared, stood in front of her, bent down and helped her up.
"What the hell is going on? Who are those? Brother, is something wrong with you? ”
Honestly, even if anything, it's all in the past; In fact, Xue Xuxu didn't need to ask, but this immersive feeling made her sense of danger. Therefore, even if the situation has long been turned around, she wants to know the ins and outs.
Perhaps it was the firmness in Xue Xuxu's eyes that made Xue Jiangshan give up his silence.
He bit his lower lip and struggled for a while before he whispered, "I lost money on a bet, and they are loan sharks." ”
Xue Xuxu, "......"
Gambling money, loan sharks!
Well, Xue Xu has to admit that these are all plot episodes that she thinks will only appear in TV movies, but how can it happen now, and the protagonist is still her good big brother.
"Lifelike, the eldest brother knows that he is wrong, can you help the eldest brother keep the secret and not tell his parents?"
Xue Jiangshan half-bowed his head, and Xue Xuxu half-tilted his head; It can only be that Xue Jiangshan can see her clearly, but Xue Xuxu can't see him!
However, Xue Jiangshan's burning and begging eyes, Xue Xuxu couldn't ignore it.
She hurriedly lowered her head and hummed softly.
"Really?" Xue Jiangshan said worriedly.
"Well, don't tell." She looked up and smiled bitterly.
Seeing this, Xue Jiangshan finally showed a smile with peace of mind, and only then did he have the leisure to look at Xue Xuxu's dress, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Aren't you already going to bed, what?" ”
"Oh......" Xue Xuxu thought for a long time and said with a dry smile, "I remembered that Shen Liyang had asked me out, so I planned to go and see if he was still there." ”
This is true, Xue Jiangshan naturally has channels to know what happened during the day, so this excuse is reasonable.
Looking at the sky, Xue Jiangshan didn't want to stay on the top of this mountain anymore, so he said to Xue Xuxu, "It's so late, that kid is estimated to have left early." Let's go back and rest early. ”
"Okay."
The two brothers and sisters walked quietly all the way, and took advantage of the gap in the wall to enter the Xue family's old mansion.
Xue Jiangshan didn't seem to be at ease with Xue Xuxu, for fear that she would suddenly run to her parents' room to complain, so he pulled all the way to the bedroom door.
Xue Jiangshan was relieved to see Xue Xuxu really walk in.
However, Xue Xuxu is worried about the goofs of his identity!
"Go to bed early."
"Oh." Although he responded like this, the hand on the doorknob did not dare to turn.
Xue Jiangshan, "......"
Xue Xuxu, "......"
Xue Jiangshan's expression became serious, and Xue Xuxu, who had not moved for a long time, could only grit his teeth and said with a smile, "Good night, big brother." With that, he turned the doorknob, dodged backwards, slipped into the crack and quickly closed the door.
She thought about it, she would rush to the bed and cover the screaming mouth of the seventeen-year-old Xue Xu with the speed of covering her ears, and then tell her: I am your future granddaughter!
Facing the closed bedroom door, Xue Xuxu took a deep breath and turned around in the dark.
Thereupon.
Tick tick, tick tick......
The phone ringing in the butt pocket rang again.
