Chapter 298: Dead Skin
Almost just as Xia Hao threw Zhang Yuexin to the ground, a gunshot rang out.
The dull loud noise was especially loud in this oppressive space, and Scarhead fell to the ground at this time. Immediately afterward, a bright flashlight appeared around him.
The woman who was almost stripped naked by Xia Hao snorted coldly at Xia Hao, grabbed her clothes and put them on herself like lightning, and at the same time she lowered her voice and said to Xia Hao: "Today's account, sooner or later I will find you to settle it!" ”
Xia Hao ignored the woman, lowered his head and asked Zhang Yuexin under him, "Are you okay?" ”
Zhang Yuexin's voice trembled: "I'm fine, what about you?" ”
At that moment just now, Zhang Yuexin didn't know what was going on, but now that she thinks about it, she knows that Xia Hao is trying to block the gun!
Although Zhang Yuexin's impression of Xia Hao was extremely bad, Xia Hao's move made some subtle changes in her heart.
"Yo, are you still in the mood to save the beauty of heroes?" Facai appeared in front of Xia Hao with a smile.
Zhang Yuexin struggled for a while, Xia Hao hurriedly helped her up, and then looked at Facai and said dissatisfiedly: "Your bodyguard is too incompetent." ”
Facai smiled, "Don't worry, that guy called Scarhead, the gun in his hand has already been used by me, and there are no bullets in it at all, otherwise why was only Scarhead knocked down just now." ”
Xia Hao suddenly realized, no wonder Facai has not appeared, it turns out that everything is under the control of this goods, but this makes Xia Hao even more angry, just now he was forced by Scar to take off that woman's clothes, Facai must have been deliberate!
"Let's go, what are you doing here?" Fortune left the basement without looking back.
Xia Hao put on his clothes and was sent back to the city center by the police uncle with Zhang Yuexin, as for Scarhead, they have all been wiped out, including the guy who went to get money, but according to Facai, the mastermind behind this incident has not been found, Scarhead They are just a group of gangsters, collecting money to do things, and they have not even seen each other's faces.
This made Xia Hao very worried about Zhang Yuexin's safety, so he insisted on letting Zhang Yuexin stay in the hotel first, and then go home after he completely solved the matter, but Zhang Yuexin refused, and when the two were arguing at the door of the hotel, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Xin'er?"
When Zhang Yuexin heard this voice, she couldn't help but be stunned, and turned her head and shouted, "Dad! ”
Xia Hao turned his head to see that Zhang Yuexin's father was a middle-aged man in his forties, carrying a shoeshine box on his back, and there were still some residual traces of shoe polish on his hands, and a smell of shoe polish came to his face.
"Xin'er, what are you doing here?" Father Zhang seemed to realize something, turned his head to look at the luxury hotel behind him, his face changed greatly, and he glared at Xia Hao and said, "Xin'er, tell Dad, is he bullying you?" ”
As an ordinary person in the market, how could Zhang's father not understand the sinister nature of this world, especially the beauty of his daughter, which will definitely cause a lot of trouble, so it is easy to think about the bad side.
Xia Hao was depressed, and hurriedly defended himself: "Hello uncle, my name is Xia Hao, I think you misunderstood, I am friends with your daughter, and I was just about to send her home." ”
"Xin'er, is what he said true?"
Zhang Yuexin lowered her head and said, "Yes." ”
"Uncle, you haven't eaten yet, have you? It just so happens that we haven't eaten yet, let's find a place to eat first! Xia Hao consciously took the shoe-shine box on Zhang's father's shoulder and said first.
"In that case, let's go home and eat, the things outside are too expensive." Father Zhang saw Xia Hao's performance and immediately realized that this guy must have an unusual relationship with his daughter, so he said those words with a little bit of his father-in-law's mind to test his son-in-law.
"Oh, uncle, you see how embarrassed I am to go to your house empty-handed......" Xia Hao immediately hit the snake with the stick.
Zhang Yuexin looked at Xia Hao dissatisfied, and shouted: "Dad, he still has something to do, and he doesn't have time to go to our house!" ”
"I'm fine, besides, if I don't send you home, how can I rest assured, the outside world is so chaotic now, what do you say, uncle?" Xia Hao turned to Zhang's father to flatter.
When Zhang's father heard this, he was quite relieved and said, "Xiao Xia is right, let's go, go home." ”
Xia Hao didn't seem to see Zhang Yuexin's angry gaze, and even grimaced at her, then turned his head and began to ask about Zhang's father's income from shining shoes.
Zhang's father is obviously not ashamed of his industry, but he is very interested in pulling Xia Hao to explain to him various tips for shining shoes, under Xia Hao's deliberate pandering, after a while, Zhang's father will regard Xia Hao as a five-good young man, which makes Zhang Yuexin, who is following behind, very helpless.
Zhang's father is usually reluctant to take a taxi, but today he did not hesitate to stop a taxi and set out on the way home. Of course, if Zhang's father knew that Xia Hao had "bullied" Zhang Yuexin, he would probably take the shoeshine box and stone Xia Hao to death.
The taxi came to a very old neighborhood with some factories around it, and it looked like the family area of the factory. Zhang's father told Zhang Yuexin to take Xia Hao back first, and he went to the braised meat shop next to him to buy cold dishes.
Zhang's father was not around, and Zhang Yuexin immediately attacked Xia Hao.
"What the hell are you going to do?" Zhang Yuexin glared at Xia Hao and said.
Xia Hao spread his hands and said, "Dinner, your father invited me." ”
"No, you leave me right away!" Zhang Yuexin said without refusing.
"Wouldn't this be a disappointment to my uncle's good intentions? I happen to be hungry too, so what's wrong with coming to your house for a meal? Besides, something like this happened today, how could I just walk away? ”
Zhang Yuexin said coldly: "You don't have to worry about my business!" ”
"I admit that when I first saw you, I did something sorry for you, but I didn't know what was wrong at the time, and I couldn't help but ...... when I saw your beautiful face so closely."
"Don't say it!" Zhang Yuexin shouted anxiously, raising her eyes to look around, for fear of being heard by others.
"I can't help but put you there, but it's precisely because of this that you can see Ma Junyan's true face, in case you really marry Ma Junyan, only to find out that he is a human-faced beast, wouldn't it be too late?" Xia Hao continued to analyze.
"If you say that, I have to thank you?" Zhang Yuexin said coldly.
Xia Hao spread his hands and said, "Of course not, I want to say that even if I am sorry for you in the past, you don't have to hold on to it like this, right?" ”
"Hold on? It was my first kiss! Zhang Yuexin was about to cry, maybe in his eyes, that kiss was worthless, but it meant a lot to her.
Xia Hao leaned into Zhang Yuexin's ear and said, "Actually, that was also my first kiss." After speaking, regardless of Zhang Yuexin's reaction, she jumped directly into the small supermarket next to her.
Although Zhang Yuexin didn't believe it, she finally felt better, but when she thought of it, she still felt depressed.
"Xin'er, where's that young man?" Zhang's father bought braised pork and cold vegetables, and saw that Zhang Yuexin was the only one standing alone on the side of the road, so he couldn't help but ask.
"He said to go to the supermarket and buy something. Dad, you can just buy some food, why do you want to buy so much meat? Zhang Yuexin looked at the braised beef, sauce elbow and other meat that her father was carrying, and said dissatisfiedly, she knew her own situation, and it was a luxury to eat a meal of braised meat.
At this moment, Xia Hao walked out of the small supermarket, carrying a large string of things in his hand, what kind of tobacco, alcohol and nutritional products, anyway, after he went in, he picked the most expensive one to buy, and the owner of the small supermarket was stunned by Xia Hao's arrogance, and the high-end goods in his house were almost swept away by Xia Hao.
"Why are you carrying so many things?" Zhang Yuexin asked with a frown.
Xia Hao smiled at Father Zhang and said, "The first time I went to my uncle's house, how could I go empty-handed?" These things are a little bit of my heart. ”
"That's not going to work, how can I let you break the bank!" Zhang's father grabbed Xia Hao into the small supermarket and said to the owner: "Lao Wang, I'm sorry, help return the things he bought!" ”
"Lao Zhang, is this young man going to your house? It turned out to be Xin'er's boyfriend, I just said whose relatives are so atmospheric, I didn't expect it to be your family! This is also a piece of the heart of other young men, why should you return it? The shopkeeper was still happy just now, and when he heard that Zhang's father was going to return the goods, he was naturally a little reluctant.
"Uncle, what are you doing when you leave? If that's the case, then I'd rather not go to your house!" Xia Hao also pretended to be angry and said.
The shopkeeper, Lao Wang, took the opportunity to say: "You see what a good young man, Xin'er is really blessed to find him!" ”
"Uncle, I've already bought it, and if I return it, it won't look good on my face, so let's just go." Xia Hao said.
Father Zhang could see that Xia Hao's attitude was resolute, and if Xia Hao really left, he would not be able to go, so he discussed: "Then take two bottles of wine, and return the rest." ”
Xia Hao glanced at the boss and said solemnly: "Uncle, what I pay most attention to is integrity, if you want me to do this, you are trapping me in an unrighteous place!" ”
"Lao Wang, how much do these cost in total?" Father Zhang gritted his teeth and asked.
"Uncle, I don't have much money, let's go."
Zhang's father looked at the boss and said, "To tell you the truth, how much is it?" ”
"One thousand two hundred and thirty pieces." The boss also seemed to know Zhang's father's temper, and said frankly.
"I don't have so much money on me, you return the money to him, and I'll just send you the money back." Father Zhang said in an unquestionable tone.
Xia Hao smiled bitterly, no wonder Zhang Yuexin had a stubbornness in her temperament, it turned out to be with her father. However, for such a person who can adhere to principles, Xia Hao still sincerely admires it.
Zhang Yuexin's family background is obviously not very good, which was already determined when Xia Hao saw Zhang's father.
Of course, this is nonsense, but if the family background is a little better, Father Zhang will not shine shoes for others, even if Father Zhang is really very interested in shoes, presumably he does not have the hobby of groveling to shine shoes.
"Uncle, you're slapping me in the face!" Xia Hao selected cigarettes, alcohol and two boxes of health care products, and then put the other things in front of the boss, and said: "Since my uncle insists, I don't want to make it difficult for him, but since I have bought these things, I will not return them, and the rest will be put here first, and I will take them away when I leave later." ”
"I've never seen a young man with such a good character!" When the boss heard that there was no need to return the goods, he naturally did not hesitate to praise him.
"Young man, it's not easy to make money, how can you spend money so lavishly?" Father Zhang admonished.
"Okay, uncle, let's go, or Xin'er should be in a hurry."
Xia Hao said to the boss and took Zhang's father out, while Zhang Yuexin glared at Xia Hao hatefully, obviously she heard the conversation in the store clearly, especially when the boss said that Xia Hao was her boyfriend, no one had explained it to Lao Wang, if there was no accident, tomorrow morning, the neighborhood would know that she Zhang Yuexin had a boyfriend.
Zhang Yuexin was just about to go in and explain to the boss clearly, when she happened to see Zhang's father and Xia Hao walk out.
"Dad, you go first, I'll go buy something." Zhang Yuexin said to Zhang's father, glanced at Xia Hao with her eyes, and ran into the supermarket.
"Yuexin is back? I don't say a word to your Uncle Wang when I have a boyfriend, that kid in our family is still thinking about you! The boss said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"Uncle Wang, you misunderstood, that was not my boyfriend just now, I just met him." Zhang Yuexin hurriedly explained.
"Not a boyfriend? Impossible, right? That's what he just told me! The shopkeeper said.
Zhang Yuexin had a secret hatred in her heart, and she could only continue to explain: "Uncle Wang, he is really not my boyfriend, don't talk nonsense." ”
Xia Hao didn't go far with Zhang's father, and Zhang Yuexin caught up, but her eyes were full of anger when she looked at Xia Hao, obviously because of the words of the shopkeeper just now. Xia Hao didn't realize this yet, he just bared his little white teeth and showed a kind smile, but in Zhang Yuexin's eyes, how hateful he was, how hateful he was.
"Xin'er, hurry up and help carry something." Zhang's father said.
Zhang Yuexin didn't want to disobey her father's wishes, walked to Xia Hao's side, took a part from him, but stomped on her feet, stepped on Xia Hao's feet and said, "I'll help you get it." ”
Xia Hao grinned, and could only endure Zhang Yuexin's angry behavior.
Soon, the group of three entered the unit building of Zhang Yuexin's house, and after going up to the top floor, Zhang's father opened the door and said, "Xiao Xia, come in." ”
The room is not big, but it is very warmly furnished and clean.
"Dad, I'll go make some rice." Zhang Yuexin put down her things and went into the kitchen, Xia Hao looked around, and didn't seem to find that there was a hostess's breath in this room.
"Xiao Xia, you sit down first, and I'll go wash the smell of shoe polish on my body." Zhang's father said and went into the bathroom.
Xia Hao glanced around the room and saw a posthumous photo in a bedroom, which was a kind middle-aged woman, who should be Zhang Yuexin's mother. On the wall of the other bedroom, there are all kinds of awards, most of the names are Zhang Yuexin, and there is another Zhang Yang, and their grades are obviously excellent.
The other furnishings in the room are very simple, Xia Hao can see that Zhang Yuexin's family is indeed not wealthy, this small one-bedroom and two-hall house, there are almost no large pieces of furniture.
Father Zhang beckoned Xia Hao to sit down on the sofa for some years, looked at Zhang Yuexin's back, and said, "Alas, it's hard for Xin'er, since her mother died, this family has been supported by her." At my age, I can't do much, and Xin'er basically pays for her brother's schooling. ”
Xia Hao sighed and said, "Actually, the situation in my family is similar, and I was also born poor. ”
"Haha, blame me for mentioning these unhappy things! Come, have two drinks with me. Father Zhang took out a clean wine glass and half a bottle of liquor from under the coffee table.
Xia Hao hurriedly took the wine he had just bought from the supermarket from the side and said, "Uncle, come and taste this wine, I heard the boss say that this is a good wine." ”
The cold dishes are set aside, and the old and the young are drunk.
Xia Hao's amount of alcohol is average, and he can't drink much beer, let alone this kind of liquor with a high degree, when Zhang Yuexin walked out of the kitchen, Xia Hao was already red-faced.
"Dad, drink less!" Zhang Yuexin said dissatisfiedly.
"Today I am happy! Come, Xiao Xia will have another drink with me. Father Zhang raised his glass as he spoke.
"That's it, happy!" Xia Hao was already a little dizzy.
Zhang Yuexin glared at Xia Hao, he seemed to be aware of it, looked back at Zhang Yuexin and said, "Uncle, Xin'er is so beautiful!" Will you marry her to me? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhang Yuexin hurriedly shouted.
Father Zhang laughed and said, "I have already seen that your kid has other thoughts about Xin'er, but I can feel that you are a good young man, and I can't be the master of this matter, so I have to ask Xin'er what she means." ”
"Dad, even you are talking nonsense!" Zhang Yuexin said angrily.
"Don't hide it from me, I can see that you and Xiao Xia definitely didn't just meet, tell me what's going on?"
At this time, after Xia Hao finished his bold words, he was already dizzy and leaned on the sofa without moving.
"Dad, what do I have to do with him!" Zhang Yuexin glanced at Xia Haodao.
Father Zhang said: "Xiaoxia people are good, but the amount of alcohol is too poor, and they are unconscious after only a few glasses." ”
Fortunately, Xia Hao's wine was not bad, and he didn't make noise or noise after drinking too much, so he lay on the sofa and fell asleep.
"Help him to your brother's room and let him sleep." Zhang's father picked up Xia Hao and sent him to a bedroom.
"Dad, you go and rest for a while, I'll come." Zhang Yuexin took the prepared towel and said.
Father Zhang went out, and in the small bedroom, only Zhang Yuexin and Xia Hao were left.
Zhang Yuexin took off Xia Hao's shoes and asked him to lie down on the bed, and when he was wiping his face, Xia Hao's hand suddenly lifted and accurately grabbed Zhang Yuexin's little hands holding towels.
Zhang Yuexin didn't expect this thing to make such a move, and almost couldn't help screaming, but Xia Hao's eyes still didn't open, just held her hand tightly, and didn't make any other movements.
Trying her best to break free a few times, Zhang Yuexin not only withdrew her hand, but Xia Hao clenched it tighter.
Zhang Yuexin took a deep breath, bent down and approached Xia Hao, just about to break his hand, but Xia Hao pulled her to a stumbling force, and her body directly pounced on Xia Hao's body, and at the same time, Xia Hao's arm changed to grab and wrap around, wrapping Zhang Yuexin's small waist.
"Let go of me!" Zhang Yuexin let out a low snort, she was now lying on Xia Hao's body, the two were close together, Zhang Yuexin could even smell the strong wine breath exhaled by Xia Hao. Zhang Yuexin's head was right on Xia Hao's chest, and she could hear Xia Hao's powerful heartbeat on one side of her head.
At this moment, Xia Hao does not have his usual mouth, and looks quiet and peaceful. Zhang Yuexin raised her head to observe Xia Hao, but he still maintained that drunken state, and he didn't seem to realize the fact that the beauty was in his arms.
"Or is it more reliable when he doesn't speak." Zhang Yuexin thought in her heart.
In the small room, lonely men and widows are in the same room, especially at this time, the posture of the two is still so intimate, if Zhang's father sees it, I don't know what he will think!
Zhang Yuexin didn't want her father to see her embarrassment at the moment, so she gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound, broke free again, and left Xia Hao's arms easily to her surprise. Zhang Yuexin didn't want to wipe Xia Hao's face anymore, so she covered him with a quilt, turned off the lights and turned to leave.
Xia Hao didn't sleep for long, and was woken up by his sister's phone, it turned out that it was already evening, and his sister Xia Xiaohe didn't see Xia Hao when she came home, so she called him.
After learning that Peony had gone back, Xia Hao was relieved, he was really afraid that Ma Junyan would make a move on his sister, and now he can rest assured.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Hao found himself in a bed. This bedroom was divided in half by a cloth curtain, and he glanced inside the curtain and confirmed that it was where Zhang Yuexin lived, and there was a fragrance in it.
Xia Hao felt that his head was much clearer now, and when he walked out, he saw Zhang Yuexin sitting in the living room watching TV.
"Where's Uncle?" Xia Hao asked.
Zhang Yuexin said lightly: "He drank a lot of wine and has already slept." ”
Xia Hao asked, "I just saw a game helmet in that bedroom, let me borrow it first." ”
Zhang Yuexin looked at Xia Hao quietly, "It's not early." ”
"I know, so you rested early, after all, you were a little frightened today." Xia Hao didn't seem to understand Zhang Yuexin's eviction order, turned around and sat on the sofa with a game helmet: "I'll stay here tonight." ”
Zhang Yuexin gritted her teeth at Xia Hao's cheekiness, but thinking of the scene where this guy blocked the bullet for her today, she didn't ask Xia Hao to leave, turned around and returned to the room where Xia Hao slept just now, and locked the door.
Xia Hao lay on the sofa, entered the game, and continued to participate in the martial arts competition.
At this stage of the knockout round, for the vast majority of players, every game is crucial, and the strength of the enemy will become stronger and stronger, but Xia Hao relies on the invincible jumping ability of the big toad immortal, and almost every game is playing tricks on the opponent.
After this night's knockout round, Xia Hao continued to advance with his head held high.
After the game, Xia Hao went to Liberty City to brush the battlefield for a few hours, and won a lot of battlefield feats, and then he entered hibernation mode.
Early in the morning, Xia Hao was woken up from hunger, and he found that there were fritters and buns on the coffee table in the living room, Zhang Yuexin was busy, and there was still the smell of rice porridge in the kitchen.
"It's so fragrant, I just happen to be grumbling with hunger." Xia Hao said out loud.
"Are you okay today?" Zhang Yuexin's subtext is, you should go.
Xia Hao asked as if he hadn't heard Zhang Yuexin's words, "Do you still have a younger brother?" Is he still in school? ”
"Yes, it's Friday, and he'll be back tonight." Zhang Yuexin replied.
Zhang Yuexin put on a posture that she had to drive Xia Hao away. (To be continued.) )
