Chapter 47: To Your Pleasure, But Only Three (3)
“…… The Chinese New Year is no different from normal in our family. "The tide lowers its eyes.
"Instead of enduring the silence of death every day, it is better to do some part-time work and prepare for graduate school."
Xia Chan looked at her calm face, indifferent, and didn't know what to say. But since it was the tide that made her own choice, she had no right to interfere.
“…… Well, you pay more attention to safety alone. ”
That's all she could say.
"That's right!"
Xia Cicada suddenly shouted when she remembered something. Tide was startled by her and rolled her eyes.
Xia Cicada glanced around a few times, and then poked her head mysteriously.
"This may be good news for you."
When she said this, the tide became a little curious.
She saw Xia Chan's eyes shining with joy.
“…… Jiang Qi and Xiao Ya were separated. ”
Tides felt a bang in their heads.
“…… Divided?"
She seemed to be talking to herself, and it was like asking Xia Cicada again.
Xia Chan nodded with great certainty, as if he was afraid of the tide and didn't believe it, and added.
"It's been rumored in the school post bar for a long time, and I only found out this morning, so I don't know the exact date of their breakup."
The tides felt their temples jump up again.
“…… Rumors, not necessarily true. ”
She subconsciously responded.
Xia Chan pursed her lips, knowing that she wouldn't believe it.
“…… If you don't believe it, when the time comes, you ask Jiang Luo, she will definitely know. ”
She used a killer move.
Tidal pursed his lips and said nothing more. She took out her mobile phone and glanced at the time on it, the time for Jiang Luo to make up for the lesson was almost up. She had to hurry up.
"You go back first, I'm going to make up for Jiang Luo."
She raised her eyes to Xia Cicada.
Xia Chan laughed and patted her on the shoulder, smiling evilly.
"Come on, strive to be Shangjiangluo's sister-in-law."
Tidal punched her in the shoulder, and the painful Xia Cicada grinned.
"I'll you."
She didn't have to go long on this road.
The tide looked at the Western villa that gradually appeared in front of him, and his eyes slowly sank.
She remembers the first time she was here. At that time, she was worried about her recent living expenses. After stubbornly refusing Chaohai's support, she gradually became self-reliant. The job came just in time for her to solve her imminent problem of living expenses.
At that time, she didn't know that this house would connect her with his family, and she thought that her intersection with him only existed in Xiao Ya.
Thinking of this, Tide sighed inexplicably and quickened his pace.
Jiang Luo was waiting for her in the living room.
Here comes the teacher. ”
She saw Tidal walk in and stood up, took an orange from the coffee table and handed it to Tidal. "My brother just left not long ago."
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and the tide was scared when she saw it.
“…… Let's go to the room, hurry up, there are more tasks today. ”
She selectively ignored Jiang Luo's words, took the orange, lowered her eyes and didn't look at her.
Jiang Luo sneered, lazily grabbed the schoolbag on the sofa and put it on his body.
Jiang Luo's room was always filled with an extremely good girlish aroma. It tastes like a fresh orange with the fragrance of yuzu. Tide loves the taste, and it always makes her feel a kind of closeness to her life.
"Everyone in your family smells good."
She threw her backpack on the bed and subconsciously spit out a sentence.
Jiang Luo turned around, his eyebrows slightly raised, as if he was a little puzzled.
“…… Everyone, including my brother?"
She asked knowingly. Chao glared at her with a slightly amused smile, and his smile spread.
"What's the smell of my brother?"
Jiang Luo suddenly asked.
Tide was surprised, and sat on the bed and looked up at her, her expression very focused, not like the last time he deliberately teased her.
“…… Mint flavor. ”
Tide didn't care whether Jiang Luo was deliberately joking or not, and while responding to her casually, he took out the book from his backpack.
She didn't see Jiang Luo's eyes narrowing slightly, and the smile was meaningful.
"Teacher, my brother and Xiao Ya are separated."
Jiang Luo's nonchaliant voice came from the other side.
The feeling of hearing this from Xia Cicada's mouth is completely different from hearing it from Jiang Qi's own sister's mouth. She remembered Xia Chan's suggestion that if she didn't believe it, she could ask Jiang Luo today, and she only felt her eyebrows skip a beat.
"Oh."
She replied lightly and put the book she took out next to Jiang Luo.
"It's class, it's forbidden to talk about irrelevant topics."
Jiang Luo snorted, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Teacher, don't you feel anything?"
She always breaks the casserole and asks to the end.
The tide felt that the rhythm of the heartbeat was disturbed by this question, and it was extremely disordered. She held her breath slightly, and looked up at Jiang Luo with a steady gaze.
"If I had to say that it was a feeling, it might be a pity. They're a good match. ”
She tried to keep her tone as natural as possible.
The girl opposite suddenly fell silent, looking slightly depressed. Tide set his eyes on the book, only to hear the squeak of the chair as Jiang Luo adjusted his sitting position.
The topic of the two finally ended between Jiang Qi and Xiao Ya. Tidal exhaled silently, but felt the roots behind his ears burn terribly.
The first thing Jiang Xiangcheng did when he came back was to go to Jiang Luo's room to see the progress of his studies. Tide heard the door open, turned his head to see him, and immediately stood up straight.
"Hello Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Xiang smiled kindly, nodded, and walked to Jiang Luo's side. "Don't be so polite, you're busy, I'm just here to see."
Only then did the tide turn around and sit down, continuing to lecture to Jiang Luo.
Jiang Xiangcheng's gaze fell on Jiang Luo's head as he was reading seriously, as if he remembered something, and his nose unconsciously became sour. He sniffed, trying to calm his choppy emotions.
"Tide, are you on winter vacation?"
During the rest time on the way, Jiang Xiangcheng popped out with a question.
"Let it go."
Tide nodded in response. "But I won't go back during the winter vacation this year, I have to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination or something, and stay where I live."
Jiang Xiangcheng and Jiang Luo turned their heads to look at her almost at the same time, looking surprised.
"Are your parents willing? After all, it's the Spring Festival, you can study at any time, and family reunion is very important. ”
Jiang Xiangcheng's gaze fluctuated.
Hearing this, the tide smiled slightly. Complex emotions rose from the bottom of my heart, rushing to my eyes with a thick heat.
“…… Say yes to them, they don't mind. The school I want to take is very good, and I can't get into it if I don't work hard, so I will have more opportunities to revise early. ”
She explained to him.
Jiang Xiangcheng frowned, as if he was thinking about something, but after a while, he suddenly spoke.
"Come to our house on Chinese New Year's Eve, celebrate the New Year with us, and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together. …… Xiaoqi doesn't know if he will come, if he doesn't come, there are only two people in the family, me and Xiaoluo, and they are quite lonely, and there are more people. ”
Before the tide could react, Jiang Luo, who was concentrating on writing the question next to her, was excited, she threw the pen and shouted.
"Yes, you can! The teacher came to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with us!"
The tide was swaying, and the tone was tinged with a hint of tactfulness.
“…… Uncle, I'm just a tutor, it's not good......"
When Jiang Xiangcheng heard this, his eyebrows were horizontal and his eyebrows were raised.
"What are you talking about?! We don't treat you as an outsider for a long time, in the eyes of my uncle, you are my daughter and Jiang Luo's sister. ”
His tone was sonorous and powerful. The tide only felt a warmth spread from the heart to the whole body, bubbling and flowing.
“…… Good. Thank you, uncle. ”
Xiao Ya leaned on the windowsill and was distracted.
There is a couple downstairs who are reluctant to part. Her eyes fell on the whispers and hugs of the two people, only to feel that her heart was tight, making her breath hard.
The shadow of Jiang Qi appeared in front of him at the right time.
That day, he stood at the threshold with cold eyebrows, and his eyes were full of coldness.
He said, "Xiao Ya, I hate it when others dig into my past. ”
She regretted that she panicked at the beginning, and tears popped out of her eyes. For the first time, she was embarrassed in front of a boy, and she remembered the days when she was with him, when she was able to freely hold his soap-scented arms and waist, and walk down the street with the envious eyes of a thousand looking back.
"I didn't mean to, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
She knew that she had violated his strongest bottom line, and apologized to him in every possible way.
At first, she just wanted to know more about him. Just like all lovers, he doesn't say everything, but just wants to be really involved in his past and future.
He has always been a mystery that she can't see through, and although they have been together for a while, she is still ignorant of Jiang Qi. Just like the photo that she found in his house by chance, she desperately searched day and night, it was a mess of lines, and her brain hurt.
In the end, her ignorant love violated his last bottom line.
But how did Jiang Qi know about her going to find Fang Xiuyuan? She knew the relationship between mother and son very well, and this gentle and painful woman would not tell him such a tricky thing.
Xiao Ya tried her best to recall all the people and everything she met that day, and a pretty figure suddenly flashed in her mind. She narrowed her eyes, and suddenly an eyebrow came to her.
A cold wind blew suddenly.
Xiao Ya was only wrapped in an overcoat and couldn't help but shiver. She pulled her thoughts out of the tangled threads, lifted her legs and stepped under the windowsill, feeling only her mouth dry.
Tears rolled in her eyes, but she still held back.
Xiao Yang is coming back soon, she has to hurry back to the room, and she tries to stay away from him these days. He may have noticed the anomaly with the packet of white powder he had taken from him last time, but he didn't even say anything about it.
Her eyelids jumped suddenly.
