Chapter 160: Showdown
After dinner, Hua Tao chatted with Tao Sihua for a while before leaving.
Suddenly it rained heavily on the road, and the raindrops knocked on the car window, and there was a rapid crackling, and the sound was very similar to that of my mother fried peanuts.
Taxi drivers cursed the weather, blamed industrial pollution, and then blamed the incompetence of the functional departments.
Hua Tao has been very quiet all the time, without talking, and the taxi driver talked to himself for a long time, and finally felt bored and closed his mouth again.
Xia Sheng made a few phone calls, and every time he asked her where she was, Hua Tao looked at the vast world outside the car window, the high and low buildings were like a sleeping beast in the dark, she really didn't know where she was at the moment.
Xia Sheng had no choice but to tell her to tell the driver not to drive the car too fast, as much as you want, safety first.
When Hua Tao hung up Xia Sheng's phone for the third time, the driver finally couldn't help but joke: "Little girl, your boyfriend is really attentive to you, a call every five minutes." ”
Hua Tao was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and smiled: "Hmm." ”
Xia Sheng's kindness to her, she has always known and can feel it.
Because of this, she became a victim of gains and losses, afraid that this happiness was a beautiful and fragile soap bubble, which would immediately shatter and disappear if she was touched by something.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and Xia Sheng called again and told her that a Xiaoqiang ran into the living room just now, which scared the orange juice so much that its hair exploded.
Hua Tao imagined that scene for a moment and couldn't help but laugh.
They chatted for a while, and the rain began to slowly become lighter, Xia Sheng asked her where she was now, and Hua Tao craned her neck to look out of the windshield, but she couldn't see anything clearly.
The driver was understanding, looked back and smiled: "It's five minutes away, you can ask your boyfriend to wait downstairs now." ”
Xia Sheng heard the driver's words on the other end of the phone, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll go downstairs now." ”
"No, no," Hua Tao hurriedly said, "You can wait for me at home." ”
But the other end is about to hang up.
The driver smiled and sighed: "It's good to be young." ”
Hua Tao lowered her head, pinched the phone in the palm of her hand, and couldn't help but secretly bend the corners of her mouth.
The driver drove into the community and drove all the way to the downstairs of the unit where she lived.
"That's your boyfriend?" The driver squinted his eyes and looked out of the watery window, then nodded his head in praise, "Nice lad." ”
Hua Tao paid the money and was about to push the door to get out of the car, when she saw that Xia Sheng had already walked to the door with an umbrella.
As soon as the door opened, rain and wind poured in, mixing with the smell of earth and the aroma of plants.
Hua Tao couldn't help but shrink her neck in the cold wind.
Xia Sheng lifted the hem of his jacket, wrapped her in his arms, then closed the car door, half-hugged and half-hugged her and ran towards the staircase.
The corridor lamp is orange, and the light is hazy, which adds a warm color to this bleak and cold rainy night.
"I'm wearing too little, and my hands are so cold." Xia Sheng put away the umbrella, grabbed her hand, and then frowned slightly.
Hua Tao stomped her feet and said, "Let's go up quickly, it's really windy here." ”
When she went to find Tao Sihua, the sun was still hanging in the sky, shining warmly, so she didn't wear a coat. I was heated when I was in the car just now, and I didn't feel cold. It was only when she got out of the car that the wind and rain rushed in her face that she began to shiver.
Xia Sheng took off her jacket and draped it on her, she pulled her clothes and said, "No need, I'm almost home anyway." ”
Xia Sheng straightened the slightly messy bangs on her forehead, and said with a straight face: "Clothed, good." ”
So Hua Tao wrapped her clothes tightly.
There was a nice smell of mint wafting on the clothes, and it also carried Xia Sheng's temperature, warm, refreshing, and clean.
When the two entered the house, Xia Sheng immediately urged Hua Tao to take a bath, and then he went to the kitchen to heat the milk.
Hua Tao came out of the shower and saw a glass of milk on the coffee table in the living room, and probed the wall of the cup, which was a little hot.
Xia Sheng was on the balcony, not changing his pajamas, still wearing jeans and jackets, with his hands in his pockets, quietly looking at the rainy night.
Hua Tao gently wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, and pressed her face against his warm and generous back.
"Did you drink milk?" Xia Sheng turned around, raised his arm, and scooped the peach into his arms.
Hua Tao shook her head, didn't make a sound, and snuggled tightly to his chest.
He couldn't help but touch her head.
Hua Tao felt that the moment when she and Xia Sheng snuggled up to each other was calm and warm.
"Where did you go in the afternoon, did you have a good time?" Xia Sheng asked with a smile.
Hua Tao said: "I went to Sihua, she has now moved to Tianhe Villa in the western suburbs, where there is a fruit forest, and I see a star fruit tree that bears fruit." ”
"Then next time we'll pick it together." Xia Sheng smiled.
"Okay." Hua Tao also smiled, "Let's go pick star fruit together." ”
"It's a bit far, I'm afraid I'll have to find a day off." Xia Sheng thought about it and said again.
Hua Tao said: "It's not too far, an hour's drive." ”
"I'm afraid it won't work in an hour, it's taken you more than two hours to come back from there."
Hua Tao said: "It's impossible, I have time to watch when I go, but it rains when I come back, and the driver drives a little slower, and you asked me to ask him to drive a little slower." ”
"But there's no reason to spend an extra hour." Xia Sheng said, "Then the driver won't deliberately take a detour and overcharge you, right?" ”
"No," it is rare for the noble son to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and Hua Tao is happy, "He didn't overcharge me, and the fare is the same as when I went." ”
It's actually pointless to discuss this kind of issue, but as long as you're with Xia Sheng, it doesn't matter what you talk about.
It's not the content of the chat that matters, it's the person you're chatting with.
When two people are together, even if they don't say anything, they won't be bored.
Even the rain outside is no longer a bleak and cold rain, but a romantic rain, dripping, like the melody of a certain song.
The two of them watched the rain scene for a long time, the milk on the coffee table was cold, Xia Sheng reheated it again, and after the peach was drunk, they washed and rested together.
got on the bed, Hua Tao took the initiative to lean on Xia Sheng, Xia Sheng froze, although he didn't push her away, but there was no response.
Hua Tao kissed him on the lips, then his cheeks, all the way to his earlobes.
Xia Sheng showed a trace of helplessness in the dark, and finally raised his hand and gently hugged her waist.
Hua Tao bit the tip of his ear and asked in a low voice, "Do you have something to hide from me?" ”
Xia Sheng was stunned for a moment, touched her head, and changed the topic with a smile: "It's not early, go to sleep." ”
Hua Tao reached out and touched his face, his movements were gentle, and his fingertips traveled along the lines of his face, as if he wanted to rely on touch to remember the appearance of the other party.
"Brother Sheng, how long do you want to hide it from me?" Hua Tao's voice was very calm, and when she heard it in the dark, she didn't bring out the slightest emotion of joy and sorrow.
Xia Sheng didn't speak, he knew that Hua Tao would continue to speak, she hadn't finished speaking, he was waiting for her to continue.
Hua Tao kept making small movements, first licking his earlobe, and then holding his face and kissing it, as if a big child finally got his beloved toy and couldn't put it down.
"Brother Sheng, if you don't tell me, do you think it's useless to tell me, or don't you want me to worry?"
Xia Sheng still didn't speak.
Hua Tao said: "If you don't speak, are you guessing what I know?" ”
Xia Sheng was a little surprised, because Hua Tao was really right.
Hua Tao chuckled in his ear.
"You promised me that you would tell me everything, and you would not hide anything from me. The result? I don't even want to tell you how many times you've lied to me. Hua Tao's voice lowered, "I'm so disappointed." Brother Sheng, I'm so disappointed. ”
Xia Sheng only felt his heart skip a beat, and finally realized that Hua Tao was different.
She was really angry.
"Flower piggy, I don't want to ...... either" He himself felt that the explanation was pale and weak, so he couldn't go on halfway through the talk.
Deception is deception, and there is no reason or excuse for it.
It is his fault that he gave a promise but could not fulfill it, no matter how much bitterness there was, it was just an excuse and a quibble.
"You don't want to," Hua Tao smiled, "but you did it anyway." ”
Xia Sheng really has nothing to say this time.
The only thing that seems to be left to say is: "I'm sorry." ”
Hua Tao said lightly: "It's useless, you have apologized to me many times, but you still don't change, it can be seen that your apology is also a kind of coaxing." ”
Xia Sheng was silent, and in the face of Hua Tao's sharp mouth, he had no power to refute.
He took the lead and said that everything was wrong, so he simply didn't say anything.
Hua Tao originally wanted to restrain her emotions and have a showdown with Xia Sheng calmly, but Xia Sheng's silence made her anger burn instantly.
Since the two confessed to each other, they have never blushed again, the little life is too sweet, with love as the foundation, it seems that everything can be ignored, everything can be tolerated, and everything can be forgiven.
It's weird.
Hua Tao opened her mouth and bit Xia Sheng's ear.
Push hard.
"You're crazy!" Xia Sheng only felt a sharp pain coming from his heart, and subconsciously raised his hand to wave her away, but his arm was raised high, and he was frozen in mid-air, and after a while, he slowly put it down.
"You're not a piggy, you're a puppy." Xia Sheng was so painful that he broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.
Then, he heard a small whimper.
Like a puppy that has been snubbed by its owner, it makes a grief of grievance.
He sighed, no matter how much it hurt, he endured it, and no matter how much it hurt, he recognized it.
He gently touched her head, as if to soothe a wounded little beast.
Hua Tao also knew that she had bitten hard, and she knew that Xia Sheng must be in pain, because she tasted the smell of iron. Her heart suddenly crumpled into a ball, and she was so distressed that she couldn't do it.
The emotions that she had tried to suppress finally reached a critical point at this moment, and she completely exploded.
"Why are you hiding it from me?" She let go of her mouth and asked with tears in her voice, "Are you planning to hide it from me to death?" No, until you die, you still want to hide it from me! ”
Xia Sheng touched her face in the dark, and his palms were full of tears.
"Did you see the inspection report?" He asked.
In fact, there is no need to ask, the answer must be yes.
When he returned home in the evening, he found that the lock of the drawer in the closet had been picked.
Xia Shengming knew that she already knew, but he still pretended that she didn't know yet, because he hadn't figured out how to tell her about it.
Life and death, life and death, are not something that can be said clearly in a few words.
……
Autumn thunder is rare, but tonight it hits.
The rumbling sound came from far and near, like the roar of an angry beast.
The door to the room was pushed open, and a drenched man walked in.
"Where have you been?" Lu Yi turned his head and immediately stopped his roommate who wanted to walk in like this, "You got the floor wet, you wait, I'll get a towel to wipe it for you." ”
Lu Yi moved neatly, went and returned, holding a big towel in his hand.
"It's raining so hard and you're going out and dating a girl?" Lu Yi quipped.
Guo Tianqu took off his shirt in the entrance and wrapped himself in a big towel: "Doing something interesting is more interesting than dating a girl." ”
Lu Yi didn't believe it at all.
"What could be more fun than dating a girl? It can't be dating a boy, right? ”
Guo Tianqu laughed, took off his pants heroically while laughing, wrapped in a towel and walked barefoot to the bathroom.
"Hey, you haven't answered me yet." Lu Yi asked after him.
The bathroom door slammed shut in front of him.
Lu Yi touched his nose and snorted: "If you don't say it, forget it." ”
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Guo Tianqu's laughter came from the bathroom: "Haha, I'm going to drive a taxi." ”
"What kind of taxi?" Lu Yi was inexplicable.
Guo Tianqu stopped answering, humming a little song happily, like a happy bird.
