Chapter 34: The Dust Settles

Liu Xiaoxiao sat next to Zhang Daxian and watched him busy. Compared with Liu Xiaoxiao's subtlety, Li Meizi is bold, she sat on Zhu Dake's lap, hugged his neck, and accompanied Zhu Dake to work together, although she couldn't understand it, she was still like a curious baby pointing to the dense code on the screen, asking questions, which made Zhu Dake feel faceless.

"I said Lao Zhu, can your uncle concentrate more?" Zhang Daxian pointed to a line of error prompts, frowned, tilted his head, and glanced at Zhu Dake, who was playing with Li Meizi's hair.

"Those who can work harder, those who can work harder! Hey! ”

Zhu Dake poked his head out from behind Li Meizi, and after speaking to Zhang Daxian, he told Zhang Daxian in lip language that they were in the stage of emotional warming, begging forgiveness!

Zhang Daxian was out of choice with Zhu Dake's cheekiness, and found an excuse to spend them and live in a two-person world.

After Zhu Dake and Li Meizi left, Liu Xiaoxiao looked down at Zhang Daxian shyly, but she found that Zhang Daxian didn't notice her at all, except for frowning at the computer or pinching her eyebrows.

Liu Xiaoxiao knew this reality, and suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, and then she didn't know what she thought, got up and walked behind Zhang Daxian, lying on his back, and hugging his neck.

Zhang Daxian was stiffened by Liu Xiaoxiao's sudden move, and he stammered when he spoke, "You... You... Isn't it hot? ”

Liu Xiaoxiao heard Zhang Daxian's grunt that tried his best to hide his swallowing saliva, so that she was even more presumptuous, "It's really hot, so take off one?" ”

After Zhang Daxian was let go by Liu Xiaoxiao, he turned around and saw that she was about to take off his clothes, and hurriedly stopped: "You are wearing so little, do you still have to take it off!" ”

"I'm hot!" Liu Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity to take the initiative, but she wouldn't give up so easily, "I'll take it off!" ”

She raised her arms and gestured to take off her clothes, so frightened that Zhang Daxian stepped forward and hugged her, "Miss, don't be joking, it's daylight!" ”

"Or at night?"

"What a joke!"

Zhang Daxian pressed Liu Xiaoxiao to sit on the chair, and was relieved to see that she was not going crazy.

"I, Liu Xiaoxiao, have always been the same!" Liu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Daxian, smiling beautifully, her big eyes smiled like a pair of crooked moons, "Then I'll go out first and look for you at night!" ”

"Don't, there's something to say, there's something to say!" Zhang Daxian had no choice but to give in.

"Then kiss me!"

Liu Xiaoxiao stretched out her index finger and pointed at her peach-like cheek.

"Can you owe?"

Liu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to hear this, and turned around to leave.

"Okay, now dear, now dear!"

Zhang Daxian's brain was hot, he stepped forward to hold Liu Xiaoxiao, held her head, like a dog, and kissed a few mouthfuls when he went up, so what kind of gentleness can there be.

Liu Xiaoxiao was stunned by him, and said yes, kiss my face, why do you kiss me?

After Zhang Daxian kissed her, she instantly calmed down, straightened her messed hair, and gently touched her eyebrows, like someone who was fine, and went back to continue to tease him.

Seeing him like this, Liu Xiaoxiao was happy and sad in her heart, and she was very entangled, so she puffed out her mouth, walked to Zhang Daxian's back, lay on his shoulder and bit him hard, and ran out of the room with a smile, leaving Zhang Daxian to cover his shoulders and hisses in pain.

Liu Xiaoxiao ran to the courtyard, looked around and saw that there was no one, she was relieved, walked to the pool, took a handful of water, washed her hot face, felt the coolness of the water, and the heart that was about to jump out of her chest was settled.

She didn't wipe her face, walked to the pergola in the yard, sat on a wicker chair, looked at the dense vines above her head and was stunned, I didn't know what I thought, sighed, and showed a wry smile - although it was a bitter smile, but my heart was sweet, like the green grape in her hand, although it was sour now, but I was patient, wait a minute, the taste was sweet.

Liu Xiaoxiao was startled by her ringtone, she took out her mobile phone, and saw that it was her sister Liu Sisi calling, answered the phone, and said coquettishly: "Sister, why did you remember to call me!" ”

Liu Sisi didn't say anything else, and hung up the phone after saying "you come out".

Liu Xiaoxiao hurriedly got up, walked out of the yard quickly, stood outside the door and took a slight look, and saw her sister on the road to the north, sitting in a black Mercedes-Benz, stretching out the window and waving to her.

Trotting to the side of the car and pulling the car door, Liu Xiaoxiao went in and asked, "Something?" ”

Liu Sisi smiled a little reluctantly and said, "They haven't treated you badly these days!" ”

Liu Xiaoxiao was a little clueless when she heard what she said, and she didn't speak patiently, but just turned sideways to look at her sister.

"Did Zhang Daxian do anything to you?"

When Liu Sisi said this, her hands trembled obviously, and she took out her cigarette four times before taking it out, and used the cheap plastic lighter for one dollar to make a fire three times before she lit the cigarette.

Looking at her sister's frowning brows in the smoke, Liu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and said, "Sister! Your hair is gray! ”

Liu Sisi subconsciously combed her hair, wanting to cover up the white hair that ran out, but the more she covered it up, the more the white hair ran out.

Liu Xiaoxiao looked at the white hair under the thin green silk, her eyes were sour, and her tears couldn't help but stay.

"When?"

"Huh?"

Liu Xiaoxiao pointed to Liu Sisi's hair.

"It's been a long time coming, I've been too busy lately, I don't have time to dye my hair, and you found out!" Liu Sisi popped out the cigarette butt in her hand and took out another one and lit it.

"You haven't answered what I just said!" Liu Sisi reached out to wipe away the tears on Liu Xiaoxiao's face.

Liu Xiaoxiao shook her head and didn't speak.

Liu Sisi was gloomy, as if she wanted to speak, but her lips trembled, and she didn't speak.

"There's nothing going on at home, you stay here with peace of mind, and when your college starts, I'll pick you up from college." You go back first, I'm leaving! ”

Liu Xiaoxiao pushed the car door, but before she could stretch out her feet, she was stopped by Liu Sisi, "In the trunk is something left by your mother, she went abroad!" ”

"You open the trunk, I'll get it!"

Liu Sisi nodded.

Walking to the back of the car, Liu Xiaoxiao picked up a one-foot-high cardboard box from the trunk, walked across the road, turned around and waved to her sister, and walked back to the yard.

She walked back to the house and opened the cardboard box, which contained a family portrait of her childhood, in addition to a few original English books that she had read for a long time. Seeing this photo, she also understood what her mother wanted to tell her and couldn't say.

At the back of the family photo, she saw a sentence written by her mother - you will definitely keep struggling, unbelievable, and will be knocked down by reality again and again, until you finally accept the truth and the dust settles!

She remembered this sentence, a sentence from "One Man's Pilgrimage", which she had read to her mother before.

Finally, Liu Xiaoxiao still couldn't hold back, put the photo on her chest, lay on the bed, and cried silently...... Reality, reality, after all, is so cold in front of you
