44. Happiness and sorrow
What does it mean to be happy and sad? That's what I am.
I proudly carried my grandmother's purple gold box, and the left pocket of the bulging banknotes, the right pocket put my temporary ID card, came to the downstairs lobby, I also deliberately stood in front of the elevator, saw that the staff at the front desk was busy, did not have time to pay attention to me, so three steps into two steps, buried head to the gate briskly.
Seeing that victory is in sight, as long as I step through that threshold, I will be free. But when he went out, he hit his head on someone, and then Zhou Tong's loud voice sounded in his ears: "Eh, little sister, why are you rushing out in such a hurry, are you hungry?" You see that I'm still worried about you, brother, I know that you girl is hard-mouthed, go, my brother ordered you a lot of dishes. ”
Before I could react, he grabbed my arm and walked to the door of the hotel next to me, I suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Wait! The figure stopped, and Zhou Tong looked back at me in shock, "What's wrong?" ”
I...... I can't answer. I can only stand in place, and my mind is desperately spinning and I can't think of a way to solve the dilemma in front of me. Why do you just carry it like that? I just happened to be bumped into by Zhou Tong, in case I carelessly carried the bag out, it would be even more difficult to explain now. When I think of this, my back chills and I break out in a cold sweat.
Zhou Tong saw that I was standing stupidly and didn't speak, and his eyes rolled as if he had realized: "I'm afraid that Liu Yue's sharp mouth won't be forgiving?" I know that you don't want to come down to eat because of that mother-in-law, don't worry, with your brother here, she doesn't dare to say anything about you, besides, there is still Brother Yao, she dares to be presumptuous? Don't dare to give her two guts. ”
Seeing that the situation had developed like this, it was impossible for me to get out, so I could only pretend to be awkward and say, "However, she always targets me and doesn't give me a good look." Zhou Tong sneered, shook his head and said with a smile: "Liu Yue is a paper tiger, the more you are afraid of her, the more fierce she becomes, and when you get along for more time, you will get used to her yin and yang weirdness." ”
At this point, I could only follow Zhou Tong into the hotel. In fact, among these people, Zhou Tong was the most kind to me, except for intimidating me when we met for the first time, and then he took good care of me, really like an old brother. Inexplicably, I felt a little ashamed, if I hadn't been blocked by him, I was afraid that I would have escaped with my personal belongings at this time.
Huang Shenjian had already gone up to the door of the box on the second floor, and I quickly gathered my mind and told myself that there was still a tough battle to fight. Zhou Tong doesn't think elsewhere because of his upright temperament, but Sheng Shiyao is no better than others, and his mind is so deep that he can't even hide the slightest detail from his eyes. Especially when I still carry a purple gold box in my arms, I feel cold sweat when I think about it.
As soon as the box door was pushed open, a few lines of sight came over, and to my surprise, there was actually a strange man sitting next to Sheng Shiyao. The man looked at me and asked, "This is ......?"
"Cheng Xiao." Sheng Shiyao briefly introduced my name and raised his eyes to signal me to take a seat.
As soon as I looked at the seat, a black line appeared on my forehead, and Zhou Tong sat down first after entering the door, and now only one chair was left for me, which was the position on Sheng Shiyao's left. I'm really afraid of what will come, and there is no way to avoid it. As soon as I sat down, I didn't know if I was weak, and when I felt Sheng Shiyao's gaze drift to my coat, I froze for a second.
Be on hot coals! Even after I sat down, they didn't care about me, and just chatted with themselves, mostly about the customs of this place. It is estimated that before I came, they may have already negotiated the matters to be discussed, so they asked Zhou Tong to summon me down. This may also be the reason why Sheng Shiyao didn't insist that I come along.
In a sense, neither he Sheng Shiyao nor others have completely regarded me as their own.
