Chapter Twenty-Three: Self-inflicted Affection

Halfway through the banquet, I learned that the party at Brother Xiao Ran's house was to celebrate his twelfth birthday, and he was really a rich family, and he could even have a banquet on his birthday when he didn't have a store in the village before, and an ordinary person like me was very likely... I suddenly found out that my birthday was not a few days away from his!

Dad was recently sent on a business trip, and I made rapid progress in cooking every day, so he was relieved to go out boldly, although I volunteered to let him go, but I am still a mortal man who expects someone to remember my birthday and remember to celebrate my birthday. Naturally, I was disappointed, disappointed, and then encouraged to pick myself up.

There are a lot of cakes and snacks prepared tonight, I think, I quietly took Brother Xiao Ran's birthday cake to say to myself a happy birthday, no one should find out, right? But I forgot that there was still Zhuo Ou sitting next to me and his little princess who called my sister-in-law as soon as they met.

Brother Xiao Ran went to toast again, such a young child went to toast from table to table, I don't know what their elders think, but fortunately, today's protagonist is not me, although the whole audience knows that I am Brother Xiao Ran's fiancée, but this does not affect me in the slightest when they dress up as civilians.

When I returned to my seat with a large triangular cake with candles on top of the candle that I was looking for to come from, Grandma Mu sat directly opposite me and looked at me with a smile, I saw her whispering in Grandpa Mu's ear, I inexplicably felt that I was talking about stealing the cake, my face was hot, I instantly felt breathless, I wanted to turn my head to look elsewhere, and just turned to the direction of Zhuo Ou, this is unbelievable, I am already weak-hearted, and now I am more like a thing in a cage, and there is nowhere to escape.

I don't think I've ever been so distracted! Because although I wanted to see the guests, my eyes were fixed on Zhuo Ou and I couldn't take it off. It's not that Zhuo Ou is good-looking, he is still a little worse than Brother Xiao Ran, but this does not affect his attraction to me at all, I think, this may be a reason that magnets attract opposite sexes as the physics teacher said, right? I was attracted to him.

As if he could feel my gaze, Zhuo Ou turned his head to look at me, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and then pointed to the beautiful woman holding his father's hand on the stage and introduced, "My fiancée." ”

Me: "......"

I'll admit that my mind was blank and close to death, but what I admired myself was that the next second, my clenched teeth were able to squeeze out a sentence of 'beautiful'.

To be honest, I didn't really want to praise his fiancée. I even expected him to laugh and tell me, 'Actually, that's a joke.'" But from the fact that the playful girl had finally taken his place as Princess Wanwan and sat beside him, intimately leaning on his movements, I was sure that the joke would not be so realistic.

I finally realized what it was like to sit on pins and needles, so much so that when Brother Xiao Ran pulled me to invite me to dance after a round of wine, I stood up and forgot that my dancing skills were clumsy.

Brother Xiao Ran hugged my waist and slowly opened with steps, slowly, more and more people came into the dance floor, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Zhuo Ou and the beautiful woman I didn't know getting off the dance floor, a few laps down, I have stepped on Brother Xiao Ran no less than ten times, not because of nervousness and my poor dance skills, but because of me, absent-minded.

I can't believe that I care so much about Zhuo Ou, maybe I was originally proud and arrogant that Zhuo Ou would always be behind me, running after me, laughing and laughing, and finally getting married, although I haven't thought of the last step yet, but I have long thought in my mind, if I and Zhuo Ou are a couple, how happy I will be for him.

I was losing my mind, only to feel my body being thrown out, and then I spun into a solid embrace, and I came back to my senses to see that it was Zhuo Ou.

I didn't know how to face him, maybe my current appearance was simply embarrassed, I knew that I was not in the mood or the ability to jump anymore, I pushed Zhuo Ou away heavily, turned around and ran out of the venue, I didn't care if anyone would follow behind me, and I didn't care what the consequences of my sudden departure would be.

Fortunately, my evening dress was not too long, and my shoes were of moderate height, so I ran out of the venue and quickly found the bus stop I had specially noted down on the road, took out my coin purse, and flew on the bus as soon as the bus arrived.

The people in the car looked at me strangely. Yes, this kind of dress must not be suitable for riding the bus, but I am a Cinderella, and the princess and prince are them, so I didn't care about other people's eyes at all, and went straight to the back of the bus.

Fortunately, the terminal of this car is the entrance of my community, even if I fall asleep in a daze, I can be woken up by the driver at the terminal so that I will not sit and stand outside the wind and eat and sleep overnight.

I stood at the staircase on the first floor and stomped on my high heels, but the light in the stairwell didn't come on, and I knew that the sensor light was broken again!

I am very afraid of the dark people, but I am afraid of returning, I still have to go back, I carefully touched the railing of the stairs, slowly walked up step by step, and when I reached the third floor, I felt footsteps behind me, and my heart unconsciously thumped up.

I stopped, and so did the footsteps downstairs, and the stairs seemed very quiet in the dark, and this silence made my heart beat a little faster.

I took off my high heels, regardless of the cold on the ground, I picked up my skirt and ran upstairs as fast as I could, on the fifth floor, I put down my skirt and ran to take out the key, and then stopped at my door and quickly opened the door, slamming it shut, and then dared to lean on the door and gasp for breath.

Suddenly there was a simple and crisp knock on the door behind me, and my heart was lifted again, and I could only see through the cat's eye the dark door, and I couldn't see anyone at all.

I tried to pretend that there was no one in the house, grabbed my skirt and walked slowly towards the room, then closed the door.

At this moment, my handbag on the bed suddenly vibrated with a whining, and I shuddered with fear, thinking about the door and the door that had been locked, and I was bolder.

I turned on the small lamp at the head of the bed, and opened my handbag by the faint light, only to find that there was a mobile phone in my bag, look carefully, it was still the one that Brother Xiao Ran gave me, but the caller number displayed on it was an unfamiliar number, I thought about the time to answer, and the phone had hung up. It's okay, I don't want to take it anyway.

I was about to turn around and go to the closet to get my clothes, when my phone vibrated again, and I looked at it, it was still the same unfamiliar number just now.

is so persistent, shouldn't it be Brother Xiao Ran's?

I reached out to connect the phone and pressed the amplification, there was no sound on the phone, I glanced at it, and it was still on the phone, so I asked, "Who?" ”

There was a soft laugh on the other end of the phone, then there was a noise, and then I heard Brother Xiao Ran ask, "Where have you been?" ”

I was about to make an excuse when there was another knock outside the door, and I asked Brother Xiao Ran, "Are you at my door?" ”

Brother Xiao Ran said strangely: "No, what's wrong?" ”

I coughed lightly twice, and in the spirit of not making trouble for him, I said lightly: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I was a little uncomfortable just now, so I'll go home first." ”

Brother Xiao Ran sighed, I heard someone greeting him, and he was busy greeting others, so I said, "Brother Xiao Ran, I'm a little tired, I'll rest if it's okay." ”

Brother Xiao Ran's phone was obviously in his ear, and when he heard me say this, he sighed again, and then asked me to have a good rest.

Since it's not Brother Xiao Ran outside the door, who else is there?

No one knows my address but him, so to speak... Outside the door... Probably a stranger?

I didn't dare to open the door, let alone go out of my room and take a shower in the bathroom near the kitchen and also near the door.

Right! The older I get, the smaller I get, the more squeamish I get, even I look down on myself, and I secretly make up my mind that tomorrow I will ask my father to report me a karate, taekwondo is also good, I don't want to be like this for the rest of my life!

I changed into pajamas and lay on the bed and pulled the quilt over my body, thinking about Zhuo Ou's good-looking smile and his fiancée's longing to stick to him, thinking resentfully, what the hell! He was only twelve years old and had a fiancée, so this wealthy family was engaged too early, right? Aren't you afraid that his 'wife' will grow up and become disabled? Although this possibility is very small, just looking at Barbie dolls, you can think that their wealthy daughters will only grow and look better, and if they are a little dissatisfied, plastic surgery is okay! Where is it like me, a common man, a little pocket money is only enough to buy a barbecue to eat!

I have to admit that I was a precocious child, and I was a little haunted by what was happening at the banquet, so much so that Zoor came back to class and sat next to me, and I didn't say a word to him.

Of course, he didn't have time to talk to me.

After class, I can always hear his mobile phone vibrate twice, and then he used his slender and good-looking fingers to unlock the phone password, open the text message, crackle and press, and then lock it again, and then vibrate, and unravel, I was annoyed by his behavior of showing affection, and it was suppressed until he blatantly put the mobile phone on the desk and vibrated in the quiet classroom to make a very obvious sound, and when the teacher looked at our table, he framed me, and then I was pulled by the teacher to the office to explain the review, The teacher didn't believe me, and I asked me to write a 5,000-word review, and after the flag-raising ceremony on Monday, I faced the whole school review, and I completely broke out!

I'm so good-natured, and in this case, I just threw the phone I got back on his desk, threw the battery out, and sat down to write a review without saying a word.

Zhuo Ou didn't say anything, he picked up the battery and put it in, just turned it on, the phone kept vibrating, I just felt that I was angry, my brain was hot, I reached out and grabbed the mobile phone in his hand and fell to the ground hard, this fall, the phone is dead.

I looked at the corpse on the mobile phone on the ground with satisfaction, turned my head and glanced at Zhuo Ou, gritted my teeth and said, "This is the price for me to take the blame!" ”

Zhuo Ou was stunned for about half a minute before he came back to his senses and remembered to speak, but I didn't look at him for a long time, and began to write to myself, dear teachers, dear students......

Zhuo Ou next to him stood up suddenly, high and wide blocking the meager light outside the window, I didn't mind at all, put my head closer to the notebook, and continued to write, he reached out and grabbed my pen, and I gave him a look.

He still looks invincible, and he looks very underwhelmed!

He said, "Let me out." ”
