Chapter 218: Visiting Xu Hu Again
(Girls' Literature)
After leaving Xu Hu's house that day. I still haven't gotten my gloves. I've been commuting to work bare-handed these days. I always want to buy it. But it was as if there was always no time. But one day, Li Yunxiang stuffed a pair of fashionable sheepskin gloves into my hands. Then he turned around and left.
He still didn't talk to me. Even the pace of departure was hurried. I looked at his back in a daze. Finally, when the phone vibrated inside the bag. I just found out. I was unknowingly. This glove has been accepted. But this is accepted. It still seems a little confusing.
Oh. The message was sent by Li Yunxiang. "Tomorrow is something. I can't pick you up and commute to work. Pay attention to yourself ... Li Yunxiang. "I also replied in a ghostly way." Good. "When the message is sent. I have some regrets. This seems to be the case now. We just didn't speak. Everything else is like a normal couple. It seems that there is an unconsciously unstoppable tacit understanding with him. I shook my head and walked away.
The next day, Li Yunxiang really didn't come to accompany me on the bus. I wonder if it's because this guy is in pain when he wakes up early these days. So I went home to catch up on sleep. That's why it didn't come. There was a sense of empty loss in my heart. I couldn't help but be taken aback by the feeling of loss that felt in my heart. Seemingly. I'm really used to it. Accustomed to having him by his side on the bus these days. This doesn't seem like a good sign. It seems to be a more dangerous situation. I asked myself. Am I going to fall back in?
this day. I follow my last memory. Carrying a bag of fruit. came to Xu Hu's house again. I stood in the doorway. Their yard was quiet. The old man who was squatting at the door last time to chop wood is also gone. I looked at the rusty hose in the doorway. There is a large area of moist yellow soil underground.
It is estimated that water with a high sand content is still flowing from the inside. The faucet dripped droplets the size of beans. I plucked up the courage and knocked on the door again. "Tuk, tuk, tuk". The pace of the heartbeat is slightly faster. I listened carefully to the movement inside the room. There was no echo. I knocked again. "Tuk, tuk, tuk" still didn't respond. Hey. Isn't he at home? Just when my heart was about to retreat. A voice came from inside the room. "Who?"
The smell of the quilt in this voice was very heavy. When I heard it, I had just gotten up with the breath of getting up without waking up. It's half past six in the afternoon. Didn't this guy get out of bed yet? "It's me. Ai Xiaoya. I said calmly. I'm going to get my gloves. "My voice was a little bit unsettled. Because some people have some wake-up gas. For example, Li Yunxiang has it. He's talked to me before. Within half an hour of him getting up. Don't talk to him. Because he will be irritable. I don't know if this Uncle Xu Hu and Uncle Xu are angry to get up. If only he would be grumpy. I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL BE ABLE TO HOLD HIM.
"Oh. Wait a minute. "I heard a clothed figure in the room. There is also the sound of the metal ring on the belt colliding with other objects. The ring is jingling. Looks like he's up now. I heard footsteps. But it's the sound of footsteps without rhythm. It seems that Xu Hu's legs are not good. You can hear it from the sound of walking.
I stood quietly in the doorway. When we were opened. Xu Hu, with a tired face, stood in front of me. The smell of the quilt emanated from all over the body. But the smell is not very pleasant. I couldn't help but frown. But he didn't dare to cover his nose. It's not necessary to save some face.
"Why are you here?" I saw that it was me at the door. Xu Hu was still a little surprised. The next second, he flashed to the side. "Come on in." I nodded. When I walked into the room, I saw that my gloves were on the table in the room. But Xu Hu's whole room was very messy.
The entire floor seemed to be covered with clothes that had been taken off. Mom. I searched around to find the small stool I had sat on last time. "Here's the fruit I bought for you."
I handed the fruit to Xu Hu. Xu Hu's face showed an expression of disbelief. It seems that the yellow, orange, and orange oranges contained in the plastic bag are not oranges anymore. It's like a big golden egg. He took the bag. The aroma of the fruit inside is still squeezed like this. It's all out. The foul air inside the room instantly filled the room with the aroma of fruit.
"Thank you." He took the bag. Then he pulled out two oranges from inside. Hand me one of them. I took it too. Xu Hu sat on the edge of the bed. Tear the orange peel apart. I pulled out the orange petals from it. Sent to the inside of the mouth. The aroma of oranges gradually suppressed the smell in the room. "There's a lot of smell in your room." I said as I ate an orange. "Why don't you clean up?" Xu Hu sniffed. "Yes. I didn't feel it. "I don't know the true face of Lushan. It's just because I'm in this mountain. People are accustomed to their environment. He's in this room all day long. Definitely didn't feel it.
"Why don't you clean up yourself." I pointed to the mess of clothes on the ground. Xu Hu glanced at it. In the past two days, I haven't seen the bruises on my face lighten a lot. "Get used to it. It's not that exquisite. It's a bit of a mess. It feels better. "What a strange theory. I'll admit that I'm not a very clean girl. But I don't want my house to be a kennel.
"I'll clean it up for you. It's just so dirty in here. I clapped my hands and slowly stood up. Xu Hu had a surprised expression. And stopped eating oranges. But he didn't say yes. I didn't say no. He sat straight on the edge of the bed. He looked at me stunned. It seems to be stuck all of a sudden.
I bent down and picked up the clothes on the floor one by one. Sort them into categories according to color. It's all in the laundry tub. Everything on the table was neatly arranged. I picked up the broom in the room, which was almost crumbling with a rod and a head. He bowed his body. Start cleaning.
"You're going to the museum with this broom." I shrugged my shoulders. I smiled at him. Sure enough. My voice just fell. The crumbling broom head had already fallen. It fell completely. A puff of dust rose on the ground.
"Yes. It's really what it says. I muttered. While picking up the broom head that had fallen on the ground. Thrown in the trash. The rest of the stick was in his hand. "Where are you going to leave this?" I stood inside the room and looked around. asked Xu Hu as if asking. Xu Hu shook his head. Staggered and took the stick. "Don't throw it away. Put it here. I can use it for self-defense. ”
As he spoke, he took the stick and stood at the head of the bed. I blinked. I really don't know what era Xu Hu lives in. You also need to fall asleep with a stick. Pack it all up. I left the windows of the house open. The air in the room really needs to be changed. A cool air slowly invaded the room. Maybe it's the psychological effect. The smell in the room suddenly lightened a lot.
I clapped my hands. Took a deep breath. "Look at it. Isn't it that the air in the house is much fresher? Xu Hu nodded embarrassedly. Hehe. One is used to it. I stood up. Picked up the laundry tub. Walked outside. There was a bag of laundry detergent on the windowsill. I turned on the faucet, and the water quality was relatively clear today. I soaked my clothes all over. Ice-cold water. My hands hurt when I was irritated.
"I'll wash it later." Xu Hu appeared at the door. Some looked at me with embarrassment.
"No, you don't." I looked up and smiled at him. "I washed it very quickly. You might as well take a break over there. Xu Hu didn't reply. He just stood at the door and watched me for a while, and then went back to the house. I don't know how long Xu Hu has been putting these clothes away. After washing it several times, it can be considered eye-catching. Hehe. His life really wasn't an ordinary mess.
I hung all my clothes in the yard. These clothes don't have the smell they just had. Instead floats in the air. It gives off a burst of aroma of laundry detergent. I snorted hard. Can't help but sneeze. Hee-hee. This laundry detergent is really powerful.
"It's not cold." I walked inside the house, and Xu Hu gave me a hot towel. I took it. It's been a long time since my hands were soaked in the cold water. When cold fingers touch a warm towel. An indescribable burst of comfort. The warm sensation dispelled the biting coldness on his fingers aside.
"Thank you." I said with a smile. Xu Hu took out a cigarette from his pocket and knocked it in the palm of his hand. "Actually, it's me who should say thank you." Xu Hu said softly. I looked at the cigarette in his hand. "Can I not smoke it?" I really didn't want to smell secondhand smoke anymore. A little begging to look at Xu Hu. Xu Hu pursed his mouth. I put the cigarette on the table anyway. The man sat down on the bed again.
"Why are you helping me so much." Xu Hu raised his head and asked me. "I'm a relative now, and my old friends don't come to the door. It's like a lump of dog droppings. Why are you willing to help me? He stared at me with burning eyes. Ai Xiaoya. You tell me. I really don't know why you're doing that. ”
