Chapter 23: Did I Think Too Much?
Tian Mi and Su Xin chatted for a while, and the content was nothing more than what they liked to eat, what books they read, what music they listened to, and whether they even played games or not, and whether they chased stars...... In short, in Fang Jin's opinion, it was just boring conversation.
He listened absentmindedly, and began to think that Tian Mi Expert was a deceitful chatbot.
When Su Xin walked out of the house, she had a smile on her face. When he got in the car, Fang Jin didn't ask her anything, and went directly to the porridge shop he had said before.
"Su Xin, can you eat seafood?"
"Oh, yes, it doesn't matter what I eat."
Fang Jin ordered a Gu shrimp corn porridge, a drawer of steamed dumplings, three plain pancakes, cold preserved eggs, a plate of side dishes, and a pair of grilled chicken wings. There are not many samples, but there are many samples.
Shrimp polenta, white porridge is soft and glutinous, peeled shrimp show a little pink, embedded with corn kernels and green beans, and garnished with a little coriander. White, red, yellow, green, bright colors, it looks like it's appetizing. Fang Jin gave Su Xin a bowl, Su Xin took a sip, the fragrance was rich, and she couldn't help but say, "This porridge is really delicious." ”
"Anything else is good, just eat and have a taste." As he spoke, he sandwiched another pancake for her.
"The first time I drank such porridge, I didn't know how to make it, so I went back and tried it and made it for my grandparents." Su Xin usually helps her grandmother cook, and slowly she will be able to do it.
"The steamed dumplings are a little greasy, not as delicious as Grandma Tian's." Fang Jin naturally followed Su Xin to call grandma.
"Grandma loves to make pasta."
"You can cook too?"
"When I was a child, my grandmother cooked, and my grandfather did it, and I watched from the sidelines. At that time, my grandmother always disliked my grandfather for not doing well. When I grew up, I took my grandfather's place. Hehe. Su Xin talked about the old couple with a face full of happiness.
"You're pretty good." Fang Jin was telling the truth, he didn't like to cook.
"My grandparents are getting older, and they are just my relatives, and I have to learn to take care of them."
"Well, yes. Didn't you say invite me to dinner, and make me dumplings one day. Fang Jin suddenly became interested.
"I think the steamed dumplings here are delicious." Su Xin whispered, never daring to raise her head.
"If you look down again, you'll fall into the bowl. I do not pull it down. Fang Jin said and sandwiched another chicken wing for her.
He took care of Su Xin's eating speed, and he didn't eat fast.
The order was just right, the two of them ate everything, they were full, the plate was empty, and there was some porridge left.
Fang Jin got up to settle the bill, and Su Xin said, "I'll come this time." ”
"Didn't you say that it was good to keep accounts!" Fang Jin was a little impatient.
"Fang Jin, you've helped me too much these days. I'm a little reluctant to go. Su Xin felt that some things should be made clear.
"I didn't want to trouble you, but ......"
"Why are you so awkward?"
"I ...... I want to talk to you. ”
"Hey, let's talk." Fang Jin looked at the serious appearance of the little girl opposite, and suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh.
"Fang Jin, I'm 17 years old this year, no, according to what my grandmother said, the virtual age should be 18 years old."
"I know."
"I'm in my third year of high school, and I'm about to take the college entrance exam. I want to study medicine in the future. I had this idea when I was a kid and it was important to me. Fang Jin looked at her, a little envious, he knew what he wanted since he was a child, how good it was.
"My grandparents are getting older, and I want to earn money to honor them in the future, and I want to do my best to help more people. You saved me, I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart, and I accidentally ran into you again, and to be honest, I am very happy. But this time it's your help, and I don't think I'll be able to go. I owe you so much. ”
"It's serious to owe words, it's just a gesture, nothing."
"I ...... I want to say, I'm not a ......, my grandmother told me since I was a child, ......., it's just ......" Su Xin was in a hurry, didn't know how to express it, and stammered.
Fang Jin just felt that this little girl was chatting with him for the first time, and he was quite happy. But seeing Su Xin's incoherent appearance, he wanted to laugh again.
"What the hell are you going to say?" Fang Jin crossed his hands over his chest, as if he was watching Su Xin's joke.
"I mean, I'm not what you think I am."
"Which one?"
"That's it...... It's right at the door of the hotel that you ...... You and that ......"
"Haha... Haha" Fang Jin looked at the little girl's blushing face, his eyes kept not looking at him, and he laughed out loud.
Su Xin hurriedly looked around and found that no one was looking at them, so she was relieved. "What are you laughing at?"
"Are you jealous?" Fang Jin bent one arm and caressed his chin to look at her.
"Oh, no, no, no," Su Xin hurriedly waved his hand.
"Grandma said that girls should have self-respect and self-love, and they can't ...... casually"
"Not casually after that." Fang Jin just likes to tease her.
"It's not...... I mean, alas! Anyway, you may think that I should be like the lady at the hotel door, but I am not like that, and I don't think like that. Su Xin looked at Fang Jin a little anxiously.
Since Fang Jin went to Su Xin's house last time, he knew what Su Xin felt about him, it was a kind of gratitude, not feelings. He always knew she didn't like him. But she went around for a long time, and when she said this, he was still a little sad in his heart.
"You think too much, get dressed, let's go." Fang Jin said a few words and stood up.
Su Xin was a little confused, "What is 'thinking too much', people don't mean that at all, I'm sentimental?" It's no better, and if there is, he'll hear it. Alas! Su Xin only blamed herself for finally mustering up the courage, but she couldn't speak clearly.
**
There was a small park next to the restaurant, and the two of them had just finished eating, Fang Jin was also a little confused, and said to Su Xin, "Let's go, go back to school in a while, and eliminate food." ”
"Okay," Su Xin agreed.
In the park, there are not many people at this time. In twos and threes, most of them are parents leading their children. Fang Jin walked in front, Su Xin followed him, Fang Jin himself was tall, Su Xin was well-behaved and clever, and he also seemed to be leading a child.
Fang Jin thought to himself, "I'm ten years older than her." The sudden upsurge of headless inferiority made Fang Jin's heart shrink fiercely.
An artificial lake has been created in the center of the park, and the lake has almost melted. There are a lot of small fish swimming around. There were children who threw fish food into it, and small fish came in groups to eat.
Fang Jin leaned on the railing by the lake, turned around and asked her, "Why don't you always reply to my WeChat, you know your current situation, you can say that the problem is big and small, and you will reply every day in the future." Otherwise, if something really happens, can't my grandparents blame me? ”
"I can't bring my phone with me to class, and if I find it, it will be confiscated."
"Every day after self-study, I have to reply as soon as possible, do you hear it?"
"Actually, my own question ....... in my own heart"
Before Su Xin finished speaking, she listened to "Ah! You let go of me! ”
Su Xin and Fang Jin turned their heads at the same time, and saw a man pulling the woman's hair, pulling and pulling.
Fang Jin covered Su Xin's down jacket and hat and pressed it on his chest.
The hat was large, with a thick fur collar, and she was tightly covered. Su Xin was stunned for a few seconds and nudged it. Fang Jin pressed the little head down again, "Don't move, someone is fighting." ”
Su Xin was embraced, his feet were raised, a little higher than Fang Jin's chin, leaning on him, he was like a big box, wrapping Su Xin inside.
blocked the sound of the outside world, although through the thick coat, Su Xin could still clearly hear his heartbeat.
In my ears, a few women's screams, men's muffled roars, the voice was ethereal, unclear.
She couldn't care about being scared now, only embarrassment and shyness. She knew in her heart that she didn't have to worry about any danger when she was there, and this wide chest made her feel very stable.
The little girl stood obediently in his arms, her head covered, her hands hanging down, and she did not move, as if she had hit a little rabbit in a tree.
"It's okay, you...... You let go of me. Su Xin spoke in a humming voice, and the hot breath he exhaled, as if it had grown magic power, penetrated through the thick clothes, and floated to Shang Jin's chest.
It was in those seconds that he suddenly made up his mind.
Fang Jin let go of her a little, Su Xin raised her head, her ears were red, and her bright eyes looked at Fang Jin, wanting to straighten her waist.
Fang Jin couldn't stand her eyes like this, like an injured deer, let him want to give him everything, and he could spare his life for her. He knew that he might not be able to let go in his life.
The distance that was slightly released made Su Xin take a breath. Fang Jin slammed it, and suddenly hugged her again, this time even tighter. Su Xin couldn't help but scream "ah" softly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Let me have a few words with you. ”
Fang Jin raised his right hand and gently touched her head, then slid down again, patting her on the back.
"You...... You let go and say the same. We sat down and said. Su Xin didn't break free, as if she was persuading Fang Jin.
Fang Jin still held her in his arms and didn't let go at all, "Xinxin, don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you." Fang Jin's tone was very gentle, like a spring breeze in April blowing through her ears, making Su Xin lose for a moment.
"I can only say the following words once, don't interrupt me, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to say it in the future. You're right, I'm not a good person, a man has a bad bad life, and I don't do anything to women, so I can do whatever I want. So...... So I bullied you in the car. I'm sorry! ”
Su Xin trembled slightly, a little aggrieved, and her eyes turned red. Fang Jin felt it, his hand tightened, and his heart tightened, he knew that she was so scared, he would not force her to suffocate himself. He didn't know at that time that she had taken root in his heart, and no one could move, and when she cried, he felt more distressed than anyone else.
"Don't be afraid, no one will be able to bully you in the future, including myself." Fang Jin hated himself a little and continued.
"You're still young, and you're still going to university, and I know that. There is a little girl living in my heart, and I want to wait for her to grow up, keep her safe, and give him happiness. Su Xin, I like you! ”
Fang Jin's tone was slow, it was the first time that Su Xin was so close to a man, and this kind of intimate contact made her very uncomfortable.
But her heart was like a cracked lake, and a clear spring flowed through it.
Su Xin has been afraid of the cold since she was a child, Fang Jin's embrace is too warm, and she is a little nostalgic.
She heard him say in person, "I like you!" Shocked and unable to say a word.
Fang Jin hugged the villain in his arms, wanting to hold her like this for the rest of his life, but he forced himself to let go of his hand, raised his hand and pinned the broken hair next to Su Xin's face behind his ear, "Don't have a psychological burden, live your own life." Let's go, let's go back. ”
