"It's Rong Li, he seems to have drunk too much."

As soon as Xu Tanxi came out, Rong Li, who was squatting on the ground, poked his head out and stared at her, staring intently, staring deadly.

Xu Tanxi was stared at by him uncomfortably, and turned his face away: "Aunt Li, I didn't turn off the fire in the kitchen." ”

Li Yin'e showed an expression of "I understand, I understand", and her eyes swirled back and forth on the two of them: "Be quiet, don't make noise about the neighborhood." ”

“……”

After explaining, Li Yin'e covered her mouth and went in with a smile.

Xu Tanxi closed the courtyard door and walked in front of Rong Li: "How much wine have you drunk?" She leaned in and sniffed, she must have drunk quite a bit.

Rong Li looked up at her and replied, "Why don't you wait for me in the alley?" ”

Before, when he came home late, she would wait for him in the alley.

She called out to him softly, "Mr. Rong." ”

Before, she always called him sir and didn't add her last name.

She called him this because she was angry: "Have you forgotten what you said today?" You told me not to hit your mind. ”

When she is angry, she speaks a little faster, and if she listens carefully to her words, she can hear a trace of carefully hidden grievances, not much, she is not a person with a big temperament.

Rong Li drank wine, his eyes were moist, his cheeks were red, his eyelashes drooped, drunk, he dragged and called her word by word: "Xu Tanxi." ”

Xu Tanxi did not agree.

He kept shouting: "Xu Tanxi." ”

"Xu Tanxi."

"Xu Tanxi."

Finally, he became impatient: "Xu Qiqi! ”

Previously, Qin Zhaoli sent a courier to Xu Tanxi, and the one filled in was 杳. Xu Tanxi was helpless, there was no way to take him, so he squatted down: "What are you asking me to do?" ”

"I can't see the way." Rong Li squatted and stretched out his hand to her, "You take me back." ”

His hands were long, and the knuckles of his fingers were long, and there was mud on the back of his hand, and his index finger was cut by something, and it was scabbed, and the blood was dry.

Xu Tanxi grabbed his sleeve and looked at it worriedly: "Why did your hand hurt?" ”

Rong Li withdrew his hand: "I just fell." He turned the question back again, his tone like blaming her, "Why don't you wait for me in the alley?" ”

Drunk people usually don't have much logic, and if they have a question in their head, they will ask it over and over again.

Xu Tanxi thought for a while and then replied: "Because we quarreled, you are very fierce today." ”

Rong Li didn't admit it: "I didn't. ”

After asking again and again, the drunk man still remembered that he had asked, so he asked again, "Why don't you wait for me in the alley?" ”

Xu Tanxi was annoyed by him, and he couldn't reason with him, so he could only coax: "Shall I send you home?" ”

"I can't see clearly." He reached over and commanded unreasonably, "You have to pull me away." ”

He usually doesn't like to laugh, he is cold and indifferent, sometimes he speaks wildly, and he acts roughly, and if anyone upsets him, he indulges in that terrifying ruthlessness, so that others will always ignore his already well-behaved skin.

He actually looks very well-behaved, squatting like this, not aggressive at all.

Xu Tanxi held his hand and pulled him up, he obediently followed, holding her hand, and walking behind her.

The lights on both sides of the alley have not been turned off, Xu Tanxi borrowed the light and pulled Rong Li to his house, she didn't speak, he followed quietly.

The moonlight is gentle tonight, and the people are also gentle, whose ivy climbed out of the wall, and the black tiles and white walls are a little green, all under the silver moonlight.

"Did you go drinking alone?" Xu Tanxi looked back at him.

When he is drunk, he is more obedient and answers whatever he asks.

"And Cheng Zhenyou."

Cheng Zhenyou? Xu Tanxi thought for a moment before reacting: "Then why don't you let Mr. Cheng send you back?" ”

"I don't know him well." His speed of speech is very normal, he doesn't speak like he's drunk, but the corners of his eyes are red with drunkenness, his steps are like stepping on clouds, and he can't walk in a straight line.

Xu Tanxi walked very slowly, grabbed his wrist, and carefully bypassed the puddle on the ground: "We are not familiar with each other." ”

Rong Li said: "We are village friends. ”

Xu Cunyou smiled but did not speak.

As he walked, Rong Li asked, "Why don't you wait for me in the alley?" He deliberately pulled the hand she was holding back, and he didn't break free, only expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Why don't you wait for me in the alley?"

“……”

He just kept it going.

When passing by the old lady Qiuhua's house, Rong Guanguan jumped out and ran like a round ball: "Brother! Don't look at his short legs, but he runs very quickly, "Why did you come back so late?" ”

The old lady of the autumn flowers also came out.

Rong Li looked at the old lady, then at Rong Guanguan, and he asked Rong Guanguan: "Are you Ah Li?" ”

Rong Guanguan felt that his brother was a little strange today: "I'm Guanguan." ”

Rong Li stretched out his other hand and patted him lightly on the head three times, as if he was talking to himself, and said, "You don't want to be like Ah Li, don't grow up like him." ”

Rong Guanguan didn't understand, but nodded obediently.

Alley.

Xu Tanxi wrote it down.

Rong Li followed her to the door, and suddenly turned around: "Rong Guanguan." ”

Rong Guanguan followed him: "What's the matter, brother?" ”

"You're too fat."

“……”

My brother is a turtle bastard!

Rong Guanguan snorted and ran in.

Xu Tanxi pursed her lips and smiled, pulled Rong Li into the house, and went upstairs. She went up a staircase first and stopped: "Stairs, be careful." ”

"I'm not drunk, I'm walking steadily."

Rong Li took away the hand she was holding and staggered up by herself. Xu Tanxi followed cautiously, for fear that he would step on the air.

He went upstairs, walked to the door of the room, lowered his head and took out the key in his pocket, it took a long time to take it out, his head was little by little, and he didn't put the key into the lock hole for a long time, he kicked the door in annoyance, didn't stand firmly, and slammed his body into the door.

Xu Tanxi hurriedly helped him: "Give me the key." ”

"Oh."

Rong Li gave her the key and kicked the door again.

She opened the door to the room, and he walked in by himself, walked over to the table first, picked up the sleeping pills that had been placed on it, and unscrewed the lid—

Xu Tanxi coaxed and said, "I won't take medicine today, so I'll sleep like this." ”

Rong Li was sluggish for five seconds, and screwed the lid of the sleeping pill back: "Oh. ”

He put the pill bottle down, staggered to the bed, took off his coat, threw it on the ground, then lay down, kicked off his shoes, pressed the cassia pillow under his arm, and slept.

Xu Tanxi felt that he was very well-behaved, not noisy or noisy.

She spread out the quilt, covered him, and stood by the bedside for a while before going downstairs and fetching hot water. She wet the towel, wrung out the water, hesitated, and sat down on the edge of his bed.

The windows in the house were nailed shut and airtight, and he nested under the quilt and covered himself tightly, and she knew another thing about him.

He was very insecure, perhaps a little afraid of the world he hated.

Xu Tanxi carefully lifted the quilt covering his face, holding the towel close to his face, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were not clear, just out of defensive instinct, he grabbed the hand close to him, and the other hand reflexively touched the dagger under the pillow.

"It's me." She said.

He was stunned for a moment and let go of his hand: "Xu Tanxi," he turned over and lay on his side to look at her, "Why don't you wait for me in the alley?" ”

With that, he closed his eyes again.
