Chapter 21: Letters to Xie Shuyao
In Si Ting's words, Xie Shuyao was already very sure that the Zhao Ting in Si Ting's mouth was the Zhao Ting she knew, but she didn't expect that her good friend for many years was actually taken down by her second brother. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xie Shuyao recalled that when she was in Nanjing, Zhao Ting often went to her house to look for herself, and it was then that Zhao Ting and her second brother met. Suddenly, Xie Shuyao, who was a little unconscious, thought a little terribly, should they have been-
Xie Shuyao couldn't believe her judgment, and shook off some short-circuit thinking, Xie Shuyao thought about it from a different angle, maybe they weren't in love, after all, the two of them knew each other before, and now they are basically in the same school, and it's normal to move around a lot, Xie Shuyao thought calmly.
"Sister Shu Yao? Are you still listening? Si Ting's voice rang again in the microphone of the phone.
Xie Shuyao, who was woken up, explained in a trance: "I'm listening, in fact, that Zhao Ting is my good friend in Nanjing, I went to Yanyuan to find her last weekend, and the second brother also accompanied us to visit Yanyuan that day." ”
"What? You came to Yanyuan last week, why didn't you come to me? A reproachful voice came from the other end of the line.
Xie Shuyao originally planned to go to find Xie Siting, but later forgot about going to find Siting while playing at Yan University, Xie Shuyao felt that she couldn't tell Siting this terrible fact directly, so she turned her brain and thought of a good explanation, so Xie Shuyao closed her eyes, ignorant of her conscience, and once again put the responsibility on her second brother, and said on the phone: "My brother said that you had gone home, so he didn't let me go to you." ”
"Hey—I knew I wouldn't be home last weekend. Hey—" said the other end of the line with a sigh.
Hmph, it turns out that you, this little girl, are cheating on me, fortunately I am witty enough to deceive me, you are still a little tender, Xie Shuyao thought complacently for her wit, and she didn't have the slightest sense of shame about lying.
"Si Ting, listen to me. I think the two of them may not be in love, that Zhao Ting and I, as well as my brother, have known each other in Nanjing before, and now they are so close, it is normal to walk and chat together, don't think so much. Xie Shuyao thought about it and felt that she should explain it to this little girl.
"But I heard from my classmates that they are still hugging each other!" Xie Siting said unconvinced.
"What—they, really hugging each other?" Xie Shuyao couldn't help but be surprised, and after seeing that there was no one outside the door, she covered the microphone with her hand, for fear of being heard by others, and asked in a low voice on the phone.
"Of course, I've been asking for a long time!" A smug voice came from the other side of the microphone.
Xie Shuyao's eyes quickly rolled a few times, then the corners of her mouth curled, and she whispered into the phone with a wicked smile: "Siting, I have an idea, you listen to me, you call my house tomorrow......"
"Sister? If he finds out that we did it, will he be angry? Will he tell Grandpa? I'm afraid grandpa will find out—" Xie Siting said with some concern.
Xie Shuyao interrupted Xie Siting's worry on the phone, and patiently deduced: "He doesn't dare!" Do you think, when the time comes, he will be caught by us, will he dare to resist us? Besides, isn't there still me carrying it? ”
"It's because of you that I'm worried." Xie Siting on the other side muttered quietly.
Xie Shuyao couldn't help but said angrily: "Can you not say bad things in front of me?" I hear it all! ”
"Okay, I'll call tomorrow."
……
After planning tomorrow's arrangements with Xie Siting, Xie Shuyao picked up the phone and made a call, Xie Shuyao, who had arranged all this, curled the corners of her mouth with a little smirk, and said to herself: "This kid actually dares to play lurking under my nose, and he is good at it!" ”
After talking to himself, Xie Shuyao thought that when he just came back, he didn't seem to see Xie Chen in the courtyard, and when he came in, he seemed to see his old Xie in the courtyard, Xie Shuyao planned to ask Lao Xie in the courtyard, and ask him if he knew where Xie Chen was?
Xie Shuyao, who arrived in the courtyard, saw that there was no one in the empty courtyard, and Xie Shuyao, who was frowning, thought that the only place where his old Xie might stay was the study, so he went straight to the study.
Xie Shuyao, who was running too fast, slammed the door of the study open, and heard the people in the room screaming in fright, Xie Shuyao was also startled by this scream, and when she saw the frightened old Xie who was slumped in the chair, Xie Shuyao frowned, and said a little strangely: "You didn't do anything wrong, as for being scared like this?" ”
Whew-
"Girl, why are you pushing the door so hard? It almost scared the hell out of me! Father Xie gasped.
Xie Shuyao also felt a little embarrassed, but still said stiffly: "What door do you close in broad daylight, if you don't close the door, I won't need to push the door, right?" ”
Father Xie knew that it was more difficult to reason with his daughter than with her mother, so he asked instead, "Forget it." What are you doing in such a hurry? ”
"Oh, is my second brother back today?" Xie Shuyao thought of the purpose of coming to Father Xie, so he asked directly.
Father Xie took a sip of tea with a purple clay pot, suppressed his surprise and said, "Your brother came back early this morning and went out again, and he may not come back until later." Do you have something to do with your brother? ”
Xie Shuyao tilted her head and pretended to think about it, then looked at Father Xie innocently, and said seriously: "It's okay!" I just didn't see him when I came back, I just thought it was a little strange, nothing happened. ”
Seeing Father Xie looking at himself with a smile and not seeming to believe his words, Xie Shuyao saw a few pieces of paper full of words on the table in front of Father Xie, so he asked, "Old Xie, what were you writing just now, show it to me?" ”
Seeing that Xie's father's originally smiling face immediately became a little embarrassed, and he reluctantly picked up the letter paper full of words on the table, and was hesitating to show it to his daughter, but his daughter snatched the letter in her hand at once, Xie Shuyao looked at the content of these pages, and the more she looked at it, the tighter her brows wrinkled.
Father Xie saw that his daughter's brows were slowly twisted together, but Father Xie's heart slowly became calm at this time, no longer looked at his daughter who was reading the contents of the letter, got up and turned his back to his daughter, tilted his head slightly to the daughter behind him and said, "Yaoyao - have you read these letters?" ”
"Hmm-" Xie Shuyao, who had finished reading the letter, nodded, then frowned, looking at his father's back with some complicated expression.
Seeing Father Xie slowly turn around and look at himself, Xie Shuyao didn't dare to look at Father Xie's eyes, heard his father sigh, and then said with some relief: "Yaoyao, you have also grown up." Of the three of you, you are the smartest and the most difficult to manage, your mother and I love you the most, worry about you the most, and worry us the most. Dad knows you have what you think, but would you like to listen to some of Dad's advice? Just like Dad told you in the letter, Dad won't say much. Your mother and I are both open-minded people who have studied abroad, and they will not arrange your marriage for you like other families, and you can make your own decisions about your marriage, I have discussed this matter with your mother, and your mother also agreed. ”
Father Xie glanced at his daughter who lowered her head and listened to him, and then said: "Although we agree that you are free to love, you have no social experience, so you have to bring that person home for us to see, and your mother and I will give you a look and check." In the letter, I said that in this society, not everyone is a good person, and not everyone is a bad person, and you must slowly learn to distinguish who is really good to you and who is false to you. ”
"Dad, I know what you're talking about." Xie Shuyao couldn't help but say.
Father Xie walked up to his daughter, patted his daughter's head with his hand, and said with a faint smile: "You're annoyed when you talk about it, you know more about the truth than I do, so I won't be too long-winded, you understand." If only you could remember it and know how to do it. ”
"Dad—I see." Xie Shuyao nodded subconsciously and said.
"It's good to know, I was going to write this letter to you in the evening, and now I've said everything I should say, you can take this letter back!" Father Xie said kindly to his daughter.
Xie Shuyao turned around after seeing his father finish speaking, holding the letter written to him by his father, Xie Shuyao walked behind Xie's father, gently wrapped his hands around his father's waist, put his face against the black satin coat on Xie's father's back, closed his eyes and said to Xie's father: "Dad, thank you!" ”
Father Xie felt the embrace from his daughter, Father Xie smiled with relief, untied his daughter's hands around his waist, and said softly to his daughter: "Silly girl, who called you my daughter Xie Yingchang in this life!" ”
