Chapter 39: His Weakness
There are no grand dreams, I just hope that after many years, you will still be as warm as ever.
- Xie Xiaonuan
"Lu Zihao, why are you here?" Xie Xiaonuan felt caught off guard, her eyes glanced at Xu Jingjing, Xu Jingjing shook her head, it was definitely not her invitation.
At this time, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of Lu Zihao's lips, and he explained to everyone, "I happened to be there when He Yunye answered the phone that day, so I came here on my own initiative, you won't blame me, right?" ”
There was silence for a while, everyone had their own thoughts, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.
Seeing that they didn't respond, Lu Zihao scratched his head, and when he was raising his foot to withdraw from the quiet atmosphere, He Yunye coughed lightly twice, and was the first to open his mouth to relieve the siege, "Of course not, it's always good to have one more companion." ”
He Yunye said so, and there was no reason for others to refuse him again, Xu Jingjing hurriedly echoed, "Yes, Lu Zihao, welcome!" ”
Lu Zihao exhaled lightly, his grateful gaze moved from He Yunye, and finally looked at everyone, "I wish us all the best today!" ”
At this moment, He Yunye smiled faintly, and at the moment when everyone didn't notice, he made an "OK" gesture to Lu Zihao, and Lu Zihao also secretly replied with a gesture.
So three men and three women, six people set off in such a strange procession, and the bus finally arrived at its destination after an hour of speeding on the highway.
A farmhouse courtyard with a strong smell of fireworks.
Sure enough, it was winter, and as far as the eye could see, the vast areas of lattice land had long been frozen, and the branches of the trees were bare, except for the wisps of cooking smoke rising from the chimneys on the roofs, adding a little vitality.
The road was lined with elaborate fences, and all kinds of poultry were enclosed in the fence, and occasionally a flock of chickens ran out and stopped in front of the door to feed, and suddenly they were startled by the footsteps of a group of people, and they flew away in a mess.
Xie Xiaonuan, who was walking in the front row, picked up the camera to take pictures, pursed her lips and smiled secretly, a familiar and nostalgic scene, how long has she not seen it?
Since the last time was childhood, I only remember that my grandparents lived in the yard at that time, and every time the harvest season came, she would lie in the corn pile, peel corn with her grandparents, and listen to the chirping larks, which was the most pleasant time she remembered.
But then ......
Xie Xiaonuan frowned slightly, her brows were tightly locked, she couldn't remember anything about what happened later......
It seems that I haven't seen my grandparents for many years, and my parents haven't mentioned it again......
I really can't remember...... Could it be that there is a mistake in my memory......
Xie Xiaonuan couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to shake his head, and then when he looked up, he happened to meet a pair of clear eyes, with a hint of pampering hidden in his eyes, and more pity.
"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so bad? Xia Yuyang walked over quickly, his tone was full of concern, "What do you want?" Standing here motionless, everyone else has already walked a long way. ”
Xie Xiaonuan looked at the person in front of him blankly, his thoughts were gradually pulled back, and he looked around and found that it was empty, except for the two of them, there was no one else.
She smiled apologetically, "I was too obsessed with things just now, so I ......"
Xia Yuyang stared at her silently, and only sighed after a long time, "You are always like this, if you don't pay attention, you will get distracted." ”
As he spoke, he took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to her, "Wipe it, your head is covered with sweat, be careful of catching a cold, I don't know what horror story I can think of, I am afraid of being like this......"
Xie Xiaonuan stopped answering, took the tissue and wiped it obediently, only then did she find that her hair was half wet, and even her palms were permeated with fine beads of sweat.
It seems that these unclear things still need to go back and ask my parents well.
With such a plan, her heart was also much more comfortable, she tugged on Xia Yuyang's sleeve and said let's go, and then took a few quick steps forward.
Looking at the stubborn and resolute back in front of him, Xia Yuyang's heart was indescribably blocked, and this feeling has been lingering. He shook his head and hurried to follow.
Pushing open the old wooden door with a "squeak", I saw a dog rushing towards the two of them, and the barking of "Wangwang" was getting closer and closer, Xie Xiaonuan was startled, shouted "oops", and turned around and threw himself into Xia Yuyang's arms.
The sudden embrace made Xia Yuyang have no time to react, a burst of fragrance came, he suddenly became stiff, and after a while, he eased up, raised his hand and gently patted her back, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it doesn't bite, don't believe it......"
Hearing this, Xie Xiaonuan slowly exposed his head. Sure enough, the puppy didn't make any big moves, just rubbed her trouser leg with her head, stuck out her pink tongue, pouted her tail and kept wagging it.
Xie Xiaonuan chuckled, "Really, it's so cute!" ”
This is Xu Jingjing's voice suddenly coming from the back room, "I'll go and see why they haven't come in yet......" Before he finished speaking, he had already stepped out of the threshold, and when he saw the two of them, his mouth opened wide in surprise.
"Why don't you leave, quietly?" Song Yiyi followed closely, stretched out her head from behind Xu Jingjing to look here, paused in her footsteps, she was wearing black sunglasses, and she couldn't see her expression clearly at this moment.
Song Yiyi was the first to speak, "Come in and sit, what are you doing at the gate?" With that, she turned and walked into the room, no one noticed that her fists were clenched and her nails were already deeply embedded in the palms of her hands.
Xie Xiaonuan suddenly thought that he was still in Xia Yuyang's arms, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to push him away, Xia Yuyang didn't have time to react, and slammed on the door with a "bang" sound.
Xia Yuyang shook his head with a smile, his expression was full of helplessness, "Xie Xiaonuan, how can you be like this?" I'll throw it away when I'm done using it......"
Xie Xiaonuan's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth, "Don't talk!" They all heard it! ”
Xia Yuyang winked at her, took her little hand, and slowly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Well, not only did I hear it, but I saw it just now......"
Xie Xiaonuan dodged his gaze, raised his fist and smacked him, and ran into the back room in a hurry without looking back.
Xia Yuyang's eyes were full of tenderness, she was really a lovely girl.
After everyone took their seats, Xie Xiaonuan pointed to the signboard at the door and looked at Xu Jingjing, "There is a private room to burn fish heads, your favorite dish." ”
Xu Jingjing's eyes lit up, and she beckoned her aunt to come over and order, first ordered the roasted fish head, and then put the menu in front of Xie Xiaonuan's table. He Yunye pursed his lips and smiled, raising his eyes to look at her, "Like to eat fish?" ”
"Hmm." Xu Jingjing nodded, her face crimson, "Hurry up and order the food, I heard that the food here is super delicious." ”
This farmhouse is a family of their own, so there are only two husband and wife, they have good craftsmanship and rich dishes, although they are usually deserted, but when it comes to holidays, there is an endless stream of visitors.
After ordering one after another, everyone walked to another room, where all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as desserts after dinner, were placed like a cafeteria.
Looking at the food in front of him, Xie Xiaonuan's face was full of joy, completely forgetting the irritability just now, Xu Jingjing and Song Yiyi also chatted endlessly about the "Food Sutra", and their interest was very high.
He Yunye sat on the side of the corner, looking at the girl with her eyebrows fluttering, and a gentle smile couldn't help but swell up in his eyes.
Xia Yuyang and Lu Zihao got together unexpectedly.
I saw Xia Yuyang slowly and methodically pinch a few grains of rice and sprinkle them into the fence, seeing a group of chickens scrambling, the smile in his eyes was even stronger, Lu Zihao suddenly asked, "Don't you want to ask why I came?" ”
Xia Yuyang seemed to be immersed in the atmosphere of feeding, and turned a deaf ear to Lu Zihao's words, but Lu Zihao was also calm and sprinkled rice.
After a while, Xia Yuyang finally spoke, "It's your freedom to do what you want, but-" He turned his head to look at Lu Zihao, his smile gradually solidified, and his eyes were indifferent.
"If you have the idea of hurting Xie Xiaonuan, I will never let you go."
Lu Zihao put away the sarcasm at the corner of his lips and laughed out loud, "Xia Yuyang, you really think highly of me, don't worry, I like her, how can I hurt her." ”
"Shut up!" Xia Yuyang was slightly angry.
Lu Zihao's face tightened, he took a deep breath, and bent a smile, "I didn't expect that you Xia Yuyang would also have a weakness." With that, he turned around and walked into the house.
Xia Yuyang clutched the food in his hand tightly, his eyes were fixed on the back of the departing figure and disappeared, and his anger gradually subsided, and after thinking about it, he still followed closely.
Song Yiyi, who happened to come out to find the toilet, saw the scene of the conversation between the two people, her little face was flushed, she took off her sunglasses, and her eyes were full of confusion and unwillingness.
"Song Yiyi, why did you come back? All the dishes are ready! Xu Jingjing put her hands on her cheeks and said dissatisfied, you can only eat when everyone is ready, this is table etiquette, she doesn't want to be rude in front of He Yunye.
So I can only transfer the complaint to Song Yiyi.
Song Yiyi hurriedly walked a few steps and sat down at the dining table, with an apologetic face, "I'm sorry, I just answered a phone call, there is something at home." ”
Xie Xiaonuan said with concern, "What's the matter, is it serious?" ”
Song Yiyi waved her hand and smiled at her, "It's not a big deal, but I should go back after eating, my parents are urging me." ”
Xie Xiaonuan thought about it, Song Yiyi was already much more cheerful than before, and she had also achieved the purpose of distraction, so she nodded, "Okay, then let's eat first." ”
Without the pressure of studying, plus all the delicious food, a table of handsome men and beautiful women, everyone ate heartily and chatted happily at this meal.
After the dinner, everyone decided to go home together, but they waited at the intersection for more than half an hour without a car passing by.
Song Yiyi's brows furrowed more and more, Xie Xiaonuan stepped forward and asked her with concern, "Are you in a hurry about things at home?" ”
Song Yiyi's face was stunned, and then she smiled faintly, "I'm not in a hurry, I just feel like I've been waiting for a long time......"
"I'll go ask somebody!" He Yunye spoke first, nodded to everyone and turned to leave, and at this time, Lu Zihao followed without hurrying.
Xia Yuyang looked ahead, looking at the two people who were talking to each other in unison, something flashed in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.
Xu Jingjing couldn't stand anymore, so she squatted down and observed everyone's expressions, and when her eyes moved to Song Yiyi, she stayed for a few seconds, and suddenly seemed to have discovered some secret, so she stood up suddenly and stood still in front of Song Yiyi.
"Song Yiyi, the weather is so good today, don't wear sunglasses." As he spoke, he pulled off her sunglasses.
"Ahh
Xie Xiaonuan and Xia Yuyang heard the screams and turned their heads to look to the right.
Song Yiyi had already lowered her head and covered her face, and Xu Jingjing, who was standing in front of her, also widened her eyes in surprise, with a look of disbelief.
