Chapter 47: How Long to Wait
I have to say, Zhuo Ou is a strange person, obviously the front foot and I said that we want to be together, but the back foot can't get through the phone and can't contact people, it's a kind of dragon to see the head... No, no, no... I can't think of a suitable word, so let's replace it with hateful for the time being!
I contacted Brother Xiao Ran after getting off work the next day, he called me, and asked me about Zhuo Ou's whereabouts, my God, big brother, don't think that I contacted you not for Zhuo Ou but for you, right?
Brother Xiao Ran is really a suspicious person, even my younger sister, who has grown up together, can't believe it, and he specially drove to my house, of course, he brought a lot of condolence gifts, making him look less like he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
But, what is the basis for Xingshi to ask for sin? I'm not a human trafficker!
He politely teased my dad for a long time, saying some nonsense that I didn't bother to listen to, so I hid in the kitchen to adjust the yogurt maker I bought, but gossip has always been a woman's nature, and at this time, my ears are still pointed, but I choose to skip the words that I am not interested in.
Suddenly, they spoke of Zoor.
Brother Xiao Ran said so, Zhuo Ou grew up with us since he was a child, and his character is very good, so treat Li Li well, you can rest assured in the future!
My dad, he smiled and said, good, good, good, I know, I was not wrong about that child!
I... How can I feel like the person is being left out? Moreover, Brother Xiao Ran seems to be a matchmaker who comes to matchmaking, if you put a gaudy red flower on his ear and a beauty mole on his lips, it will be the reincarnation of a matchmaker! Look at my dear father, why is it that there is no feeling of reluctance for a daughter who was a lover in her previous life, and now she has to give it up?
I thought about it many times in my head, but I still didn't figure it out, so I coughed twice very unkindly and interrupted their conversation, and then came out with a serious face, staring at Brother Xiao Ran, and then staring at my father.
Brother Xiao Ran was very calm, that is, my father's face was a little red when I stared at him, and I suddenly thought of the chicken soup that day, so I approached my father and asked, "Dad, is there anything good about you who are so anxious to let me get married?" ”
How do you know that it's okay if I don't say it, as soon as I say it, my father immediately blew his beard angrily and glared at me and yelled: "Who is in a hurry to marry you off!" It's good! You're a girl, don't you understand some things and can't talk nonsense! ”
I was stunned by my father's yelling, and the words in my mouth ran out of my mouth for some reason, "I just... I heard you guys in the kitchen... Zhuo Ou..."
Dad pulled my arm down pointing at the kitchen, "What's wrong with Zhuo Ou?" Oh, you're in love with someone, and you don't want your dad to know? I'm telling you, your mother is gone, it's me who pulled you up with a handful of shit and pee......"
I couldn't help it, and I broke him by pulling his arm, "A handful of and a handful of pee... Dad, wouldn't you be exaggerating! My mom died when I was 12 years old. ”
Dad glared at me angrily, maybe the corner of his eye swept to Brother Xiao Ran, and the momentum was immediately retracted, and he tore off my hand, "Okay, okay, Xiao Ran is still there!" I'm not afraid of jokes! ”
Brother Xiao Ran was laughing with his mouth covered, and when he heard my dad say this, he immediately looked a little serious, and said: "Uncle, I just came to see Li Li and you today, my parents asked me to greet you on their behalf, if you have any needs, you can come to me at any time, I won't bother today." Brother Xiao Ran was about to get up as he spoke, but I was pushed by my father and stood up and stopped him, and said, "Do you want to leave when you come?" Wait! Sister will make you dark food! ”
Before I finished speaking, my father had already gotten up and knocked my head, and said sharply, "It's not big or small!" Don't go cook yet! ”
Get! Where am I still the baby girl he said just now, it's obvious that she is a free little girl! The only difference from the little maid is that I have another legitimate errand, and I have to use the legitimate errand to earn money to support this old landlord!
Brother Xiao Ran still didn't leave after all, after all, my craftsmanship, that's not bragging, Brother Xiao Ran has brought the taste of the delicacies and seas that I have eaten over the years, I can still make a seven or eight points similar, so Brother Xiao Ran and his father refused a couple of sentences and stayed to eat with us.
Brother Xiao Ran sat at my house for a while after eating, Dad pulled him to ask him personal questions, I looked at the embarrassed expression on Brother Xiao Ran's face, and the mood was more than a minute and a half good, so I almost opened my mouth and laughed out loud to show my joy, and I completely forgot about the matter of this hateful guy Zhuo Ou.
However, the good times didn't last long, after Brother Xiao Ran's forehead was tossed by his father in cold sweat, it was my turn to gossip, although I was already making a gesture to go back to the room to sleep, but my father was unwilling to let me go, I looked at Brother Xiao Ran hard, how do I know that the person who was still flustered just now is very indifferent, looking at me with a smug smile, so angry that I want to insert his nostrils, uh... I don't have the guts!
Brother Xiao Ran helped me in the end, and of course, that call came in time. The company's affairs, emergency, asked him to go back to the meeting, Dad was afraid that the dark road in our community would be narrow and the noble Brother Xiao Ran fell, so he ordered me to go with him to light the way home for him... This is just what I imagined my dad wanted to express, because when I was about to go out, he was still telling me in my ear which floor of the voice-activated light needed to be louder, which floor of the bulb had broken down, and there was a gap in the stairs...
His posture makes me wonder who is his biological child, because usually, even if I have fallen, he just hands me a medical box, and then sits on the side and chatters, without even stretching out his hand...
Actually, when I sent Brother Xiao Ran downstairs, he took care of me more, after all... He's a big boy, and he's embarrassed to ask me to take care of it!
I struggled for a while, but I still asked him about Zhuo Ou.
This time, he didn't twist much, and told me bluntly that Zhuo Ou was not in the country now.
I suddenly had a very bad premonition, and I didn't dare to ask any more, but Brother Xiao Ran didn't stop and continued to tell me some things I didn't want to hear. And I had a very strong resistance to what I didn't like, so I only saw his lips open and close, and the content of what he said didn't enter my ears at all, so that I didn't react for a long time after he finished speaking.
Finally he asked me, "Would you like to wait for him?" ”
I was dumbfounded and asked him, "What do you mean?" ”
I saw him shake his head helplessly, then reached out and rubbed my hair and went to his car, reversed, waved goodbye, and left.
I felt as if I had some terrible illness again, my brain was dizzy, and my throat was itchy and coughing so much that I doubted my life, so I complained to my father that it was because he asked me to go down to send Brother Xiao Ran and made me sick. What I didn't expect was that my father actually accepted all the orders, and was very careful to buy medicine for me and tuck the quilt for me, which really flattered me!
As I said earlier, I have paranoia of being killed, and if something good happens, I will also wonder if it will be a blessing or a curse, and whether it will come with the disaster, so I was terrified all day long, and a small cold was tossed for more than half a month before it got better.
Maybe my illness caused my lack of energy to make me look like a person who was going to fall down at any moment, and there were magically fewer things in the company, and sometimes I sat all day without a list, but it was okay that I was recuperating.
When I was sick, my brain was always dizzy, and my brain, which had no brain capacity, didn't even think of Zhuo Ou during this time, and when I got better, I remembered that my first kiss seemed to be given to my boyfriend, oh, not my boyfriend, we haven't officially confessed yet, we can only count... Kindness... Admirer Joo?
Before getting off work, I called Zhuo Ou, but it was still turned off, and I don't know why, I suddenly remembered what Brother Xiao Ran said that day, and asked me if I would like to wait for him. Wait? How long to wait? Didn't tell me, told me to wait? I've waited so many years, isn't that enough?
I went to Brother Xiao Ran's office, his assistant told me that Brother Xiao Ran was in the company, but he was talking about business, and asked me to wait outside for a while, I thought, anyway, Dad's company has a year-end cocktail party today, and I don't need to go back to cook, just wait, you can't tell me to wait until midnight, right? However, people are always not as good as heaven, I really waited until the middle of the night, when Xiao Ran's assistant woke me up, the lights in the office next to me were all turned off, leaving only the lights in Xiao Ran's office and in front of his door.
When I walked in, Brother Xiao Ran was tapping on the keyboard quickly, with a serious face, as if he was replying to some important email and must maintain a high degree of respect, in fact, what is the need? Others are not by your side, across the Internet, you can express your sincerity by typing out, and you yourself, what is it?
I wanted to avoid suspicion, and sat opposite him and waited for him, but I didn't know that he beckoned me over, and he looked excited, and I really couldn't associate him with the person with a serious face just now.
What he showed me was the email he was replying to, which was an invitation to join the company, which said so-and-so shoe industry, his reply had been written, I read it again, it was very smooth, and there was respect between the lines. So I asked him, "Why are you showing me this?" ”
Brother Xiao Ran said excitedly: "I want to join the gang!" Do you think it's good? Why don't you join us? ”
I rolled my eyes speechlessly and said, "Big brother, you look down on me too much!" I just graduated from college, and the first pot of gold in my hand has not been saved, so you call me to join the house, I think it is the house of the house, right? ”
Brother Xiao Ran smiled disappreciatively, "I'll give you money, do you see how many shares you want?" ”
I stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief, "Shares? With that name, the company went public? ”
Brother Xiao Ran glared at me with disdain, "Have you forgotten that I taught you not to look at people with colored glasses since I was a child?" Companies can't either, you know? ”
I shook my head, "I'm not interested in this, I wouldn't mind if you gave me more money." ”
Brother Xiao Ran snorted, knocked back and sent the email, and then asked me why I came to him. Only then did I realize that Brother Xiao Ran's topic had led me astray, and I had forgotten what to do!
I asked him, "Is something wrong with Zhuo Ou?" I can't contact him, his phone keeps turning off, and you've been hiding when I ask you. ”
Brother Xiao Ran put away his smile, frowned slightly and asked me, "Didn't I tell you that day, didn't you listen to a word?" ”
I was puzzled, "What did you say?" ”
Brother Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly, turned off the computer, picked up his briefcase and stood up and walked out, "Said as he walked." ”
I obediently followed him, without the slightest suspicion. When Xiao Range's car stopped in front of his old house, I realized that he didn't say anything just now, and had been fiddling with his computer since he sat in the back seat, as if he was really a busy man, and sometimes it was easy to leak flaws if he overdressed, just like now, his computer screen was off, and he was still staring at the computer screen thoughtfully.
I poked his arm and he woke up from his slumber and I knew he was asleep...
Brother Xiao Ran sat up, sorted out the computer, grabbed his hair, and said casually, "Get out of the car, Zhuo Ou is at my house." ”
I...... Big brother, do you want to pant so much, don't say it for so long, you have to go to the door to say it! Looking down at the clothes on my body, I got up half an hour late in the morning, and I was wearing a sweatshirt that I put on at random, the jacket was very formal, and there was a long skirt underneath, but how could I go to see Zhuo Ou like this? So, in the second half of the story, I desperately grabbed the doorknob, Xiao Ran pulled the hat of my sweatshirt with one hand and forced me to comply, and then Zhuo Ou stood by the gate not far from us and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
What are we doing? What can we do? Big brother, can't you see that Brother Xiao Ran is bullying me...
When the thoughts in my head were still springing up one after another, Zhuo Ou had already walked up to us, and Brother Xiao Ran had let go of me as soon as he asked that sentence, and I was able to retract back into the car.
Zhuo Ou stared at me, and then said to Brother Xiao Ran: "You go in first, everyone is waiting for you, I'll send her back." ”
When I thought Brother Xiao Ran would say something, Brother Xiao Ran nodded and walked towards the courtyard, and when I was still sitting in the back seat and looking at Zhuo Ou blankly, Zhuo Ou leaned down and smiled and said, "Sit down a little." ”
There was a faint smile in his tone, as if he was in a good mood, I couldn't figure out why he was in a good mood, I just felt that I was a little like a fool now, and I would follow what others said.
The car started, and Zhuo Ou leaned over and asked me, "What are you doing?" ”
I rolled my eyes up and down, thinking, how could he see that I was in a daze, huh? You can't still see that I'm thinking about him, right? Thinking of this, I only felt a hot face, and immediately turned my head out of the window in embarrassment, pretending to be calm...
