053 Stay by my side obediently
But she thought about it, what if Miss Jia came?
Here, in front of the two patriarchs, she should not be the one to be afraid.
Snow accumulates on the green pines and cypresses, and whenever a gust of wind blows, it pours down, adding some life to the quiet cemetery.
Zhen Xin saw from a distance that a warm and slender back stood in front of the tombstone.
Standing next to each other, she walked straight to her father's grave, laid out the flowers and incense candles, and stared blankly at the pictures on the tombstones.
Xu Mu saw her coming, but he didn't immediately bother.
It wasn't until she let out a long breath that he said lightly without squinting, "Does Xiao Tingli know that you are here?" ”
"Why do you ask?" Zhen Xin glanced at him a little inexplicably, "Since you are engaged, why don't you bring Miss Jia to see your godfather?" ”
Xu Mu squatted down, rubbing his fingers on his father's photo, his face was slightly moved, "Are you still willing to call my dad a godfather......
"Godfather and godmother are good to me, and I won't be erased because you are bad to me."
Zhen Xin didn't want to show the slightest grievance in front of him, but the grievance in his heart was real and rich, no matter how he covered it up, there were still traces of it leaking in his voice.
Xu Mu finally couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, his eyes were complex and deep, as if he was buried in an abyss buried by snow, "Xinxin, last night's incident is thanks to you." ”
"I'm not for you. I don't know what you're doing, but you said it was for godfather, so I'll give you a hand. Zhen Xin's gaze fell firmly on the front, "Bet on what Zhen Xin only has and take the last risk." ”
Outside the cemetery.
The driver, who was waiting for Zhen Xin, received a call from Xiao Tingli, "Where is she?" ”
"Yongci Cemetery in the west of the city."
Xiao Tingli positioned it, it was not far from his location, so he asked the driver to go back first, "I'll go over now." Don't bother her, let her stay in there by herself for a while. ”
"Okay, Mr. Xiao."
The snow gradually stopped, but the sky became more gloomy, and the twilight was heavy and oppressive.
Zhen Xin cleaned up the tombstones everywhere, and then poured a cup for each of the two fathers and two good brothers who brought Moutai, and put it quietly in front of the photo.
Xu Mu stood side by side with her, as many times in previous years, the two little sweethearts had no guesses.
Only this time, they were separated from each other in secrets, and they could no longer speak freely as before. Perhaps one day, they will drift apart.
Just like the lyrics, the only thing that can always be by your side is your own shadow.
Xu Mu came a long time earlier than her, look at the time, he should go back.
The phone rang at this point, and he pressed to connect.
"Mr. Xu, Xiao Tingli is here, it will take about ten minutes to arrive."
"Got it." Xu Mu put down his phone, raised his hand and gently put it on Zhen Xin's shoulder, "It's going to rain, go back." Xiao Tingli is almost here. ”
Zhen Xin looked surprised, "Why did he come here?" ”
This is a cemetery that can only be seen by ordinary people, small and crowded.
"I don't know."
Xu Mu's voice was slightly worried, "However, you can't let him see the two tombs side by side." He is a scheming and sharp person, and I don't want to cause you unnecessary trouble one day in the future. ”
"I still want to spend a little more time with my dad, you can go by yourself."
Zhen Xin said expressionlessly, "Sooner or later, what he wants to know will be known." I don't care if he wants to believe me or not. I don't love him. ”
Xu Mu's originally gray and sad eyes suddenly lit up.
He smiled, nodded, leaned over and quickly cleaned up everything in front of his father's tombstone, and finally bowed to the two elders, "Dad, Xinxin Dad, you all have to protect Xinxin." She was very nice to me and my mom. ”
Zhen Xin's eyelashes twitched, and in the afterglow, his figure was already getting farther and farther away.
When Xiao Tingli walked up, he saw her back from a distance, her figure was alone, and she was cold.
The wind swept through the drizzle, covering her whole body with a layer of mist. His hand landed lightly on her shoulder, and a biting chill came from his palm.
"Why are you here?" Zhen Xin tilted his head slightly.
Xiao Tingli's gaze fell on the tombstone, "Passing by." ”
After he finished answering, his eyes moved to the side again, "This is Xu Mu's father's tomb?" ”
"Hmm. They are colleagues. Zhen Xin said plainly.
"So you often come together?"
"In the past, my mom used to come with my godmother. I was selfish and scared of hurting the scene. ”
Xiao Tingli glanced at the two tombstones next to each other again, and the time on them was less than a week apart.
He had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, but he couldn't say the specifics.
Perhaps, in this place, people always feel differently than usual.
The wind gradually became stronger, and the drizzle hit the people, and soon the trouser legs were wet.
But Xiao Tingli never urged her, just quietly holding an umbrella beside her.
Zhen Xin knows that this is the noble Mr. Xiao, it is rare to condescend to others and stand with him in this steep wind and rain.
Therefore, she also rarely allowed herself to be willful once, remembering his feelings in her heart.
Before the heavy rain arrived, the incense candles finally burned out.
Zhen Xin let out a deep breath, "Dad, I'm leaving." I'll see you next time. ”
Xiao Tingli took her shoulders and bowed slightly to the tombstone before leaving, showing respect for the deceased.
Zhen Xin knew that this was an upbringing engraved in his bones, and it couldn't be more natural to do.
The cold wind pushed the clouds down, and it seemed as if it was about to fall on the top of people's heads at any moment.
She pulled Xiao Tingli and ran quickly, "It's going to rain heavily!" Come on! ”
Xiao Tingli had to keep up with her pace, he had never been so anxious and panicked, and when he thought about it, he was suddenly amused by himself, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl.
Zhen Xin caught a glimpse of the shadows of the two in her afterglow, and the man held an umbrella firmly beside her, as if he had held up a protective umbrella for her in this stormy world.
Back in the car, Xiao Tingli took out a towel to wipe her hair.
The air conditioning in the car was full of heating, and her cold body, which was wet by the winter rain, quickly warmed up.
"Mr. Xiao really hurts."
"So, stay by my side obediently, and I will be better and better to you."
A bright smile flew into the corner of Zhen Xin's eyes, "Okay." ”
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, most companies and business premises will return to normal work.
Zhen Xin took the prepared guide dog Lele and did a morning of instruction training. When I was about to go back to the kennel, I passed by the grooming department and heard a child screaming and crying.
"This isn't my big white bear! Not my hero! ”
"This is your hero, I wish Uncle I gave you the hard time to get back from the shelter, it can't be wrong."
"Not at all! Not at all! They don't look like each other at all! ”
Zhen Xin walked into the living room and saw a slender boy of eleven or twelve years old, stomping his feet angrily and screaming, and a young woman with bright makeup on the side was patiently comforting and persuading.
"It doesn't look like it now, because the hero has been wandering outside for months, and he can't eat and sleep well, so he is dirty and thin. After a good shower and a good look, it will be like. You go home and make up for it, and when you get fat, it's exactly the same as before. ”
The little boy angrily pushed the woman away, "You lie! You're just lying to me with that man! You are now all about that man, your soul has been taken away by her, and you will believe everything he says! ”
This probably poked the woman's sensitive point, the woman's face immediately became angry, and her hand was raised high, "Who taught you this?" Your grandma and dad aren't they? You don't want me to have a better life, do you deliberately find fault? ”
Seeing that the woman's slap was about to fall on the little boy's face, Zhen Xin hurriedly deliberately stepped on his feet heavily, and quipped, "Hey, what's wrong?" The dogs who were afraid of bathing didn't cry, but the shovel officer cried first? ”
"That's not my dog!" The little boy retorted sharply.
The woman was about to get angry again, and the phone rang just as she hurried to the door to answer the phone, but her eyes never left the little boy.
Zhen Xin squatted in front of the little boy, first guided him to pet Lele, and waited for his mood to stabilize a little, before asking him kindly, "Meng Huan, what's wrong with your dog?" ”
"My hero is lost. It is a mighty and heroic big white bear dog. Meng Huan mentioned the dog, and sadness welled up on his face, "Mom's new boyfriend promised to help me get it back, but he lied to me and Mom!" That's not my hero! ”
"How can you be sure that's not your hero?" Zhen Xin asked patiently.
"It looks at me differently." Meng Huan stubbornly stiffened his neck, "I told my mother, but she didn't believe me!" She'd rather trust someone else! ”
Questioned by his closest mother, no wonder he was so sad and angry.
Zhen Xin's thoughts came out of her mind at this moment, and she remembered herself that year, the little girl who lost her father, was not understood and doubted by her only relative.
She remembered that she rushed out of the house angrily and sadly, running wildly in the dark night, but she didn't know where else to run.
