Chapter 139: Temperance

Without waiting for me to finish, Zhang Ruolei couldn't help laughing.

"You have to do it, you're even more unreliable, you really want to watch less of those messy TV series."

I protested.

"You mean I'm like a grandmother?"

He shrugged.

"Isn't it?"

My mom came down from upstairs, and the two of us blocked out the topic, but soon found an opportunity to be alone.

"What's going on?"

I stared at him so I could see his panic through his eyes.

"It's not Xiao Han, could it be the amorous tent you brought back outside?"

He frowned in silence, in a pensive manner.

"Eon," I said, seducing him further. "It really doesn't matter, I swear I'll forgive you. These are all pre-wedding desserts, and I don't care. As long as you confess, I swear. ”

He raised an eyebrow at me.

"You've gone bad."

He said, "I really want to re-evaluate the weight of the vows you have made in the past." ”

I tilted my head to look at him, hoping to see a trace of artificiality in his seemingly untouched face. However, it is a pity.

That day passed quickly, the first person continued, and there were always people who came to visit the New Year, which is also a tradition in the north, and neighbors should also say "Happy New Year" when they meet. The Zhang family is not a family, but there are many relatives of the seven aunts and eight aunts, and the two children of Aunt Zhang Ruolei's family, one of whom has already married and has the next generation, which is also a point that Zhang Fusheng is very envious.

Just look at the attitude he had towards the children of that age, and his eyes were full of pure love. The child was a boy, not quiet, Zhang Fusheng's body couldn't help but be too noisy and noisy, but he was extremely tolerant of the little guy who was a generation apart.

There are more people at dinner, and the dishes on the table are more varied. In fact, I have always been worried, my mother and the two aunts and grandmothers of the Zhang family are the first time to meet, the two old ladies have a general impression of me, I am really afraid that they will casually pretend to speak without concealment, I am used to it, I am afraid that my mother will not be able to stand it.

She's so old, I don't want her to be wronged with me again.

But I don't want to laugh and feast during the banquet, and the atmosphere is unprecedentedly harmonious. After dinner, we talked for a while, and when everyone had said goodbye, Zhang Ruolei and I saw their taillights gradually disappear in the dark night, and my heart was really settled.

Zhang Ruolei put his hand on my shoulder and said to reassure you that you are biased towards that useless heart.

I turned around, and the white gas in my mouth quickly dissipated, and soon there was no trace. Only then did I feel a little cold, and I couldn't help but put my hand to my mouth and breathe hard at them, Zhang Ruolei reached out and put them into his palm.

"Cold?"

"Sort of."

"I saw you looking good just now."

I grimaced at him.

"My mom is coming to the door for the first time......"

He put his arm around my shoulder, and the two of us walked side by side towards the house.

"It's been arranged a long time ago. It's the first time you and your mom come to the door, and if you guys feel embarrassed, it's a remiss on my part. ”

I'm grounded, back

Frowning at him. He always surprises me.

"You?"

"Yes! A little bit of a little profit, especially my cousins, are much easier to handle than my two difficult aunts. With them, they don't need me to come forward, they will do the work of the two old ladies. ”

I smiled with relief, my eyes full of gratitude.

But then it was not without reproach.

"Then you didn't tell me sooner."

"I'm not afraid that my cousins and sisters are not good enough, so I invite merit and reward too early, and I can't point where to fight when the time comes, so it's strange that you can't hate me to death."

I turned to face him.

"Are you afraid I hate you?"

He looked at me and then turned his gaze elsewhere. He's avoiding my eyes, quietly.

"That's the one thing I'm most afraid of."

"Then why don't you show me what's in the courier?"

There was a surprise on his face.

"You ......"

I left him alone and walked into the house.

"I saw you take a small object out of it, but I don't know what it is, and when I look again, it's already in your pocket."

I turned around, and the lights in the hallway were flickering brightly, and I was shrouded in a circle of light that was drifting and fluttering in the air, silently waiting for his explanation or answer.

He stood not far away, as if he wanted to keep a certain distance from me, perhaps inwardly struggling with whether to talk to me or not, but it was clear that in the end one decision prevailed.

He remained silent until the thick cold air enveloped me and him. I had a lamp above my head, and I could still feel a little of the residual warmth of the light, while he was completely exposed to the icy winter air.

We confronted each other silently until someone inside pushed the door open.

The two of them entered the room in silence, both of them were in a state of interest, and they had nothing to say, so they had to go into the bedroom to prepare for a rest. On this point, the old men can agree. But lying on the bed that was not cold were two cold bodies that seemed to have no temperature. In order to avoid embarrassment, both of them had to pretend to sleep. I deliberately stretched my breath long, and he didn't toss and turn on the other side of the bed, and I heard the air being puffed out by his even, deep breath. Well, he pretended to be as perfect as mine.

Darkness surrounded me and him, enveloping me and him, and if we reached out at such a time, the first thing we would touch would be the infinite darkness, not each other. And the distance between the hearts seems to be even farther away, they seem to be separated by thousands of mountains, trekking through mountains and rivers, looking around blankly, sometimes I or he think that I have finally found it, but in the end it is sad to find that it is just an empty joy.

The wonder and indifference of life lies in the fact that what I thought was easy to obtain turned out to be a mirror.

You always think that life has deceived you, but it is more likely that you have been deceiving yourself.

For the former, you can criticize and resent; For the latter, most people can only find a casual reason or excuse to convince themselves. There is no way, life has to go on, in order not to let himself

Even more uncomfortable, people can use a variety of means to whitewash themselves.

That night, the night was surprisingly long, hoping for the dawn, but the sky was always unclear. How much hatred there is in the world, after all, it is always because you can't do what you want from your heart. In fact, there is no way for people to tell whether their desires are legitimate or not. In the face of desire, people just want to feed it, fill it, satisfy it when they get it, and anger when they lose.

We are all fickle and unpredictable children.

Perhaps, we should not be easily satisfied in the first place.

The sky will be clear, but I am sleepy, the northern year has not been happy to sleep in the past few days, barely brace up to get up, who knows that he dragged me down.

"What?"

I had heavy dark circles under my eyes.

"Tut-tut."

He said.

"It's just one night. Look at you. ”

His hand ran over the corner of my eye.

"It's a rare animal."

I knew he was laughing at my dark circles, and I pushed him away with all my strength.

"Get up, the old people are all up, we don't get up yet."

He lay on all fours, and had no intention of getting up.

"I haven't slept much all night, and I've been struggling with whether to confess to you."

I turned my back to him and couldn't see his face, I didn't know the expression on his face. I don't want to guess, not just because I'm always misjudged.

Silence came unexpectedly, my gaze was weakly fixed somewhere ahead, without a fulcrum.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement behind him. I'm not too young, and I should know that sometimes silence is the best answer.

So I didn't expect the answer that seemed far away, so I decisively got up, got out of bed, washed up, and did it in one go. I changed my clothes and went downstairs, breakfast was already ready.

He followed me, his head was not combed and his face was not washed, Zhang Fusheng frowned, and said that he would not wash his face.

"It's too sleepy."

He yawned.

"Then go back to sleep and wake up. Why are you holding on? We don't pay so much attention to it. But maybe someone will pay New Year's greetings for a while, but I can say that you go out to pay New Year's greetings to others, go back to sleep. ”

Zhang Ruolei was pardoned, and looked at me pitifully.

"What are you doing with me? I'm not sleepy. ”

When he saw that I was not leaving, he did not move. Sit next to me, pick up chopsticks, and see if you don't have any appetite for anything. I didn't have much appetite either, but I was afraid that my mother would be worried about me like this, so I barely ate a few bites.

After eating, my mother seized an opportunity to pull me aside, and mysteriously said that there was something my mother had to tell you.

I say you say.

My mother said that in other people's homes, you should be modest, this is not good. It's a little too unseemly to see.

I was puzzled.

What to moderate?

But all of a sudden, there was a flash of lightning.

"Mom......" I was speechless, not knowing how to explain it so as not to be embarrassed.

"I ......"

My mom looked like she knew everything.

"We actually ......"

Then I saw Zhang Ruolei smiling silently on the stairs, and I hated to let my eyes become

Two small bombs can blow him to pieces in the air. He galloped down and pulled me away.

"Mom, let's pay attention, we must pay attention next time."

"Zhang Ruolei."

He pulled me more and more urgently.

"Your mom isn't like my dad, you know what my dad asks me?"

"What?"

As we spoke, we had gone upstairs to the bedroom door, and he unscrewed the door, and I followed him in.

"My dad said if you're pregnant, you need to be more modest."

"Zhang Ruolei!"

I got up and wanted to leave, I really didn't want to carry this black pot with him. He didn't want to stop there, and pulled me back.

"Silly,"

He whispered in my ear, "It's better to go with the flow without explanation." ”

"Get out of the way."

My face changed color, and after yesterday's noon incident, I felt an inexplicable estrangement and alienation from him, and I didn't want to pretend that nothing had happened. I could have pretended to be deaf and dumb, but definitely not now.

He was really angry when he saw me, and he had already lost Meng Lang just now. But I didn't wait for him to react, and walked three steps and two steps towards the door. I thought he was going to hold me, but he didn't, I thought he was going to chase it out, and he didn't.
