Chapter 19: Estrangement
It's summer vacation, Niannian didn't take the opportunity to sleep lazy, and still got up early as she usually got up on school weekends.
At that time, the sun was not very big, she was tiptoeing in the yard, practicing dance steps, but every time she turned around, her eyes looked towards the window of Huaibao intentionally or unintentionally, and there was still no movement like last night.
After jumping for a while, she was in no mood to jump, so she simply turned around and sat on her own swing, Huaibao used to sit on another swing not far from herself, and for the first time she felt quite lonely sitting here alone.
Hasn't Huaibao gotten up yet?
Until noon, Nian Nian entered the house and came out, came out and went in, but she didn't see Huaibao's figure, she was a little worried, whether he was still hurting in his stomach, and regardless of whether it was because the sun outside was already vicious at this time, so Huaibao didn't come out, she felt that Huaibao's house was not moving.
Because usually, Huai Bao would call her and let her see his new Lego, and he always liked to let Nian Nian see the first thing when he finished those things.
"Nian Nian, go and send some pumpkin seeds to Huaibao and them, grandma brought them."
When Nian Nian was worried that she couldn't find a reason to go over there to have a look, her mother did a divine assist again, and no one would have thought much about it in the past, but she had such a thought.
"Okay."
She took the plate in Wang Li's hand, stepped on a pair of pink slippers and changed her shoes at the door, stepped over the low railing, and stood at the door of Huaibao's house.
Usually, the doors of both houses are not closed during the day. In the summer, the air conditioner is turned on, so it will be half-hidden.
She opened the door and put her little head inside, and the first thing she saw was the staircase, and to the left was a compartment without a door, and there was a window facing the morning sun, and the sultry sun was shining in, and it was covered in the compartment with a step, and the podium was all hot, even though the air conditioning was on.
It's like a window spot in a café outside.
On the right is the area where the living room and kitchen are located, and a movie is playing on the TV, which is the movie played by Huaibao's favorite Leonardo.
Nian Nian didn't see it, but he was also taken by Huaibao to watch it together, it seems to be "Cat and Mouse Game".
So the person on the sofa who showed half of his black hair was Huai Bao?
Nian Nian took off her shoes at the door, casually put on a pair of sandals at the door, and then walked in with a plate, she pursed her lips and slowly approached the position of the sofa.
When she saw it clearly, she found that Huai Bao on the sofa was asleep, she sighed a little disappointed, simply took the plate directly to the kitchen, and walked out lightly.
After feeling that Nian Nian was gone, Huai Bao slowly opened his eyes, not like he was asleep at all, he just watched the movie on TV with an expressionless face.
"Did you just come to Niannian?"
Xuan Xuan, who had just gone upstairs to make the mattress, came downstairs and asked Huai Bao on the sofa.
"Hmm."
He singled out a single word, which made Xuan Xuan, who was holding Yi Qianjun's change of clothes in his hand, a little puzzled, usually thinking about it, he was not like this.
"What's wrong? Quarrelsome? ”
“…… No. ”
Also, since she was a child, she watched these two children grow up, and she never saw them quarrel, not even a cold war.
"What's going on? You're a little abnormal after graduation! ”
"What does it mean to be abnormal?"
"It's just a little different from before."
"What was I like before?"
“…… Forget it, you can watch your TV by yourself, I'll do the laundry. ”
Listening to Huaibao's lazy look, Xuan Xuan didn't tell him anymore, but her feeling was not groundless, not only did Huaibao not go to Nian Nian to play these days, but she has eaten less recently.
"Mom, I'm going out in the afternoon."
"Let's get out. Where to go with Niannian? ”
Huai Bao was speechless, no matter how she spoke.
"Not with her, with Pei Dang."
Xuan Xuan, who was tinkering with the washing machine, didn't think of it for a while when she heard the name, Pei? Oh, that Principal Pei's nephew, the children's PE teacher.
"What are you doing with him? Developing a teacher-student relationship? Haha, yes, boy. ”
When the movie ended, Huai Bao stood up, turned off the TV, and then turned around to go upstairs, where the laundry room was in a small room next to the staircase.
"Lose weight."
He said lightly, and went upstairs after speaking.
"Huh? What the? ”
The washing machine was running, and the sound made made Xuan Xuan didn't hear what Huai Bao said behind her, she poked her head out, but there was no one in the living room.
"Huh? Where did he run again? ”
In the afternoon, Pei Dang came directly to pick him up at the gate of the Green Forest Villa area, he just happened to come here to do some errands, so he simply took Yi Huai to the gym together.
"Why do you suddenly want to lose weight, I persuaded you for six years, and you are not interested."
Pei Dang drove the car and looked at Huaibao looking out the window from the rearview mirror.
"I'm touched by your perseverance."
Huaibao still propped his head and looked out the window, the air conditioner was on in the car, and after a while, he shook the glass up by himself.
"I think it has something to do with that little girl."
Don't really say it, adults always say it, Pei Dare is a 26-year-old person, those eyes are still very good at seeing people, this kid has felt depressed since the day he graduated.
Huai Bao didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"Tell my brother, and my brother will help you analyze and analyze."
"You drive your car, it has nothing to do with her, it's just that I want to lose weight, I don't want to go to junior high school and run and pant for breath."
"Okay, okay, it's okay if you don't want to say it now, I'll always know, a fitness card is 1200 a month, and I give you a friendship price of 800, is it cool?"
"Don't think about it, I'm going for free."
"Together, I've been trying to get you to work out with me for free for the past six years."
"I know you like my aunt, if I can lose weight, you will also be good, what do you think?"
"Okay, boy, just a few years old, and you'll learn to negotiate conditions."
Huai Bao smiled, the last time Yi Yao went to school to pick up Xu Yinchuan and Huai Bao, she happened to be bumped into by Pei Dang, who went back from work, so she took them by the way, that's nothing, Yi Yao is the child of the dean and his ex-wife, and the dean and Principal Pei have a good relationship, so it was not the first time Pei Dang saw Yi Yao, and later it was also because Yi Yao married abroad, Pei Dang didn't have much impression, and now after Yi Yao came back from the divorce, she walked around more, and often met her in the same banquet hall, over time, Pei Kang felt that he was in love with this strong and beautiful woman.
And why Huai Bao knew, it was because Pei Dang always asked him about Yi Yao, and after asking, he still had a lewd smile on his face.
"What do you mean by obscenity, you can't change it to a better adjective?"
"It's okay to do anything, do you agree or not?"
"It's done, it's done."
The look of suffering so much on his lips, in fact, Pei Dang was still happy in his heart, he was not ready to collect money from a junior high school student, saying that collecting money was just to tease him, and this kid can't exercise too much to lose weight, and he can't exercise too much, although Yi Huai is now more than 1.7 meters old, only thirteen years old, but now is the time to grow his body, and it may not be too long after practicing muscles, so to lose weight, standardize his diet every day, and then run and stretch it, and he can play with other appliances if he wants to, He opened the gym for fun, and it wasn't bad for his money.
So why did he persuade him to lose weight for the past six years?
Hell knows.
Pei Kang's gym is located in the heart of the city, on the upper floor of a café, and the entire gym is surrounded by reflective glass, with a free eating and drinking area in the middle, surrounded by sophisticated fitness equipment.
Monday to Friday is the day of work, so there are not so many people in the relative world.
"Rare guest, do you have time today?"
The woman who had just finished the workout had a good figure, she tied her long hair into a ponytail, and her beautiful face looked more moisturized because of sweat.
"yes, bring my son for a tour today."
"Son!?
The woman was shocked, opened her mouth, put down the phone, and looked at Huai Bao, who was only a head shorter than Pei Dang, who was only one head shorter than Pei Dang, and said that this height is sixteen or seventeen.
"Yes, yes, you have something to do, you are busy first, we will go first."
After speaking, he pushed Huaibao in.
"Do you want me to help you block the gun, do you need to insult my personality?"
Huai Bao glared at him, and then moved his gaze to the polished utensils.
Hearing Huai Bao say this, Pei Kang didn't dare to underestimate this kid, how smart must he be?
"Okay, how do you know I'm pulling you back to block the gun? What else is a personal insult? You can play with everything in my store, and you're not satisfied? ”
Satisfaction is satisfaction, but some are too heavy, and he doesn't want to play, he just wants to lose weight, and he doesn't need to train a muscle that looks greasy.
"I see that others are not bad, they just finished exercising, and they are going to call you, why don't you look down on others."
That's right, when he just came in, Pei Kang's mobile phone rang, rang for a while, and then there was no sound again, just when the woman put down the phone, Huai Bao caught a glimpse of Pei Kang's name on the phone, it was the woman's call, especially when he saw Pei Kang's flattering look, he had seen it on his parents before......
"You know what? She's not suitable for me, she changes her boyfriend several times a month, who knows if she's sincere, only this kind of thing of feelings can't be disappointed, and besides, she is not as good-looking as your aunt. ”
"That's just as well."
Feelings can't be let down? So is he being let down?
He wore it in the gym all the day, but he didn't work out all the time, and from time to time he went to Pei Kang's game room to play dancing machines and play video games, and then went downstairs to eat something, and the day passed.
However, Yi Huai's weight loss career is not for fun, after going home, the meal is also as long as he is full, no longer as long as he can eat as before, he has to stuff his stomach as before, and he gets up early every morning to go for a morning run, and he will go for a night run at night. During this time, Huaibao and Niannian have never met seriously, and two months have passed, and Niannian is going to participate in the competition.
Huaibao lost weight, but it took two weeks for the three families to get used to, and they couldn't be called Huaibao no matter what they ate in the future, and he is now starting to avoid it.
"Yes, I can't call you a little chubby dun in the future, let alone lose weight, you look very handsome, young man."
Xia Yecheng comes back once a week, so the visual impact is greater.
"You've always been handsome, okay?"
Because this international ballet competition was held in Shenzhen, Nian Nian was going to pack up her things and go to Shenzhen on this day, and it stands to reason that she could bring a companion with her.
She thought about it for a long time, and decided to follow the person she had set when she was in the sixth grade, when she was still in the sixth grade of primary school, the dance teacher told her that she could bring a companion with her, at that time, she wanted to take Huai Bao with her, she also told Huai Bao at that time, Huai Bao naturally agreed very happily.
The time of the dance competition was only recently set, in the past two months, Huaibao has always seen the beginning and the end, and she has rarely had time to speak, she has not figured out why Huaibao suddenly lost weight, and when she was two months old, the chubby Huaibao changed.
The day of departure was the afternoon of that day, and she was going to stay in Shenzhen for a week, because school was about to start, the event was arranged relatively tightly, and the preliminary round was over and the finals, so she had to first accept the guidance of the famous ballet teacher, and the plane took off at four o'clock in the afternoon that day.
"Niannian, you can call Huaibao again, this kid, I don't know where to run, I run out every day."
Xuan Xuan stood in the courtyard, she thought about it, if she really couldn't find Huaibao, she would accompany Nian Nian and let Huaibao cook and eat by herself alone.
Nian Nian also obediently picked up the phone again, there was a beeping sound on the phone, Shang Nian's heart also became a little nervous, this is the first time she has called him in these two months, but she didn't know how many calls she made to him this afternoon, but he never answered, I don't know if I don't want to answer or I didn't see it, she almost felt that after graduating from elementary school, they were going to become strangers.
"Hello?"
Finally answered the phone over there, the voice was crisp and magnetic, his voice seemed to be a little different, but Nian Nian could hear that it was Huaibao's voice.
"Huaibao?"
“…… Hmmm"
"That...... I'm going to Shenzhen to compete. ”
She didn't say the rest, she felt that just like that, Huai Bao should be able to understand.
“…… Oh, huh...... Come on. ”
……
Did he forget, he was just cheering himself on, and cheering for himself wasn't that what it should be? So didn't you say you were going with me? Why didn't he mention it at all?
Nian Nian clutched the phone tightly, didn't speak, but her nose became sour, her eyes were sour, she stayed at home alone for the last month or two, and wanted to go to Huaibao several times, but he was not at home, and all the grievances came up at once, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I haven't cried for a long time.
"Yi Huai, what's the matter with you? Didn't you agree to accompany Niannian to Shenzhen to participate in the competition? Didn't you say yes? You kid, okay, don't cry. ”
Xuan Xuan saw that Niannian was crying, and she didn't know what Huai Bao said, so she took the phone.
When Nian Nian heard Xuan Xuan tell him not to cry, he hurriedly took the phone and hung up. grabbed Aunt Xuan's arm and buried her head in Xuan Xuan's arms.
"Aunt Xuan, he ...... Don't you want me anymore. ”
In other words, Xuan Xuan can comfort her that her feelings can't be forced, but Nian Nian is the daughter-in-law she identifies, and nothing she says can make Nian Nian discouraged Huaibao.
"How is that possible? You are best friends, you grew up together, he can not do without us, he can't do without you. ”
"Aunt Xuan, don't tell Huai Bao about my crying today, I feel like he will laugh at me."
"He dares! Niannian, or I'll accompany you, just so I'll go on a trip. ”
Wang Li and Shang Wenxuan went to their hometown these days, because the queen mother was moving, and she remarried the royal father, so the two young people went to help.
Mom and Dad are not at home, Nian Nian has been following Xuan Xuan, so the only one who accompanies her can only be Xuan Xuan.
"Forget it, Aunt Xuan, you better stay at home and make food for Huaibao, I feel that he has lost a lot of weight. I'm also going with some classmates from the dance studio who go alone, so you don't have to worry about me. ”
Nian Nian was talking and talking, and she was about to cry again, Xuan Xuan took her in her arms distressedly, patted the little girl's back, and sighed.
This kid, Huaibao has really lost weight, and even his appearance has changed, but when he loses weight, he loses weight, why has his personality changed.
Her son can't really be a big carrot.
It's okay, Niannian, my mother-in-law will definitely catch Huaibao for you to accompany you.
