Chapter 57
In the evening, it rained again, the sky was dark and gloomy, occasionally accompanied by one or two thunders, and the air pressure in the Ji family's old house was like the weather outside, terrifyingly low.
There was no light in the living room of Nuoda, and the memorial was a man nestled in the sofa, his head resting on his hands, his eyes wide open, and he looked at the door without blinking, obviously waiting for someone.
He was waiting for Shuning, waiting for her to come back for dinner, and even though she told him not to wait for her, he was stubborn about waiting for her.
"Young Master." Alou stood behind him and said, "It's time to eat." ”
As if he hadn't heard it, he continued to maintain that position, motionless.
Alou sighed softly and turned to leave.
The memorial opened his mouth, and his voice was full of worry: "It's raining so hard, how can A-Ning come back?" Alu, you go pick her up. ”
Alu stopped and subconsciously said, "Isn't Shuning not coming back for dinner?" "During the day, when he was sending a message to commemorate the meeting, he accidentally saw it.
But the memorial apparently didn't notice this, and only thought about Shuning.
"But what if? What if she had to come back sooner? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, so he sat up and urged, "You go quickly, go and pick her up." ”
"But I don't even know where she is?" Alu was a little embarrassed, in fact more reluctant.
Shuning's return was not something he was happy to see.
Just like now, there are obviously a lot of affairs waiting for Memorial to deal with in the company, but he gets off work early and waits for Shuning here stupidly, and he is not even sure when she will come back.
"Then I'll go by myself, I'll pick ......her up," he said, standing up, putting on his shoes and walking out.
"Do you know where she is? What's more, it's raining so hard outside, it's not safe for you to drive. Alu stopped the memorial and finally said, "I'll go!" ”
Ji Shuning, you shouldn't come back, you know? Alou said hatefully.
It's just that he doesn't know where Shu Ning is now, and he can't get through to the phone just now, so he can only drive out in the car and wander around in the rain.
It was seven o'clock when Shu Ning returned to Ji's house, but it was damn God, it was pouring rain when she just walked out of the mall, and she didn't get a taxi all the way, and she walked in the rain for almost half an hour before she finally stopped a car.
Shaking off the rain on her body, she pushed open the door of the living room, but she didn't want to, it was dark inside, and the lights were not turned on.
"Memorial?" She walked in and let out a tentative cry, but she didn't want to be hugged, and in an instant she smelled the familiarity of the memorial.
Shu Ning stretched out his hand to push away the memorial, "I'm still wet, don't ...... it"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Memorial, "Why don't you reply to the message and answer the phone?" There was a hint of anger in his anxious voice.
"Wet in the rain." Shuning took out her mobile phone, it rained for almost half an hour, not only was she soaked, but even her mobile phone was so wet that she couldn't turn it on, otherwise, how could she not call him.
There was a cold touch from his subordinates, and the memory was angry for some reason: "Why are you raining, are you stupid?" I don't know if I'll come back when the rain stops......"
Shu Ning was stunned by the yelling, it had been a long time since she had spoken so loudly to her, and she forgot to react for a while.
With a "squeak", the door of the living room was blown open by the wind, and the outside light shone in.
Shu Ning was also shivered by the wind, and subconsciously leaned into the memorial's arms, but quickly reacted and retreated, but was firmly imprisoned by the memorial's hands, "Why the rain?" He asked again.
Shu Ning raised her eyes, and in the faint light, she could still see the worry in the memorial eyes, she didn't know how to answer for a while, could it be that she was in a hurry to come back and eat with him?
Of course, she wouldn't say that, so she said, "No umbrella." ”
"You ......" Memorial seemed to be angry with her words, and he didn't know what to say for a while, only stared at her with his eyes tightly, and spit out two words: "Stupid! ”
"You let go of me first, I'm cold." Shu Ning's cold voice was trembling, and there was a pitiful meaning in his words.
What she needs most now is not a hug, but a hot shower.
Remembrance finally let go, turned around and turned on the light, and sure enough, he saw Shu Ning in an embarrassed state, and the hem of his clothes was still dripping with water.
As a result, Memorial's face became even more ugly, "Why are you drenched like this?" Go, take a shower......" he urged, but turned his head away from reading the book.
Shu Ning looked at the evasive gaze of the memorial suspiciously, but he didn't say anything more and went upstairs directly.
It wasn't until she entered the bathroom and saw herself in the mirror that Shu Ning's face turned red instantly, and she finally knew why Memorial didn't dare to look at her just now.
In late summer and early autumn, she wore a suspender belt on it, and a chiffon cardigan was worn outside, which became a little translucent when it rained.
So, Memorial must have seen her printed black underwear just now.
God, Shu Ning held his forehead and couldn't help but pat his red face.
After taking a bath, Shu Ning finally calmed down and hesitated whether to go down, but he didn't want to remember knocking on her door first, "A-Ning, it's time to eat." ”
Shuning looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock, and the memorial had been waiting for her without eating.
After thinking about it, she replied, "Here we are." "I put on my coat and went to open the door.
The memorial didn't seem to dare to look at her, so he only lowered his head and said, "I just had the food all the food heated." ”
"Hmm." Shu Ning nodded, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face, "Let's go, go eat." ”
Sitting at the dining table, Shu Ning found that there were fewer people, and the old housekeeper knew that she went to the countryside after Grandpa Ji's funeral, saying that it was easy to see things and think about people when she stayed here, and she was hurt by the scene, after all, the master and servant had been serving for decades, and Grandpa Ji's sudden departure was not a small blow to the old housekeeper.
It's just that Alu didn't see him today for some reason, so Shuning asked, "What about Alu?" ”
Memorial seemed to remember something, and hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and sent a message, and then said, "He went to look for you just now." ”
"Looking for me?" Shu Ning held the bowl in his hand and paused.
"It's raining so hard, I'm worried about you, so I'll let Alu pick you up."
Shu Ning frowned, and said habitually: "Don't do this next time, don't wait for me to eat." After saying that, she remembered that she would leave tomorrow, and where would she come next time.
"A Ning ......" memorial just picked up the chopsticks, put them down again, his face was happy, and asked in disbelief: "You are not leaving." ”
Looking at the bright eyes of the memorial remembrance, Shu Ning realized what she said wrong, and she also knew how cruel what she was going to say next, but she still said, "I'm leaving, tomorrow's ticket." ”
"Tomorrow's ticket ......" the memorial muttered Shu Ning's words, and the brilliance in his eyes slowly faded...... Eventually, his eyes were filled with gloom, and he looked at Shu Ning and asked word by word, "Do you have to go?" ”
It seemed to be a dying struggle, even though he knew the answer, even though he knew how cold and hard Shuning's heart was, he still wanted to ask her.
Staring at the dark eyes of the memorial, Shu Ning could only be silent, she had already answered this question.
In the end, Shuning put a piece of chicken wings into the commemorative bowl, and smiled: "Eat it quickly, otherwise it will be cold again." ”
After speaking, she lowered her head to eat quietly, and answered the memorial silently.
"Good!" After a long time, Memorial replied, he picked up the chicken wing and stuffed it into his mouth, but he didn't taste anything at all, it tasted like chewing wax.
Should he be relieved? At least, Aning remembers that he likes to eat this.
Neither of them spoke, and in the dining room, there was only the slight sound of the clattering of chopsticks and the sound of them chewing and swallowing their food.
At the end of the meal, they ate extremely calmly, and the memorial did not ask Shu Ning that question again, nor did he mean to be angry, he even added an extra bowl of rice than usual.
It's just that after eating, he ran to the bathroom and threw up.
The bathroom window was wide open, and the storm was raging outside, like a memorial heart.
He kept suppressing, suppressing, but still couldn't suppress.
Shu Ning patted the door of the memorial room worriedly, "Xiao Nian, how are you?" ”
Memorial sat slumped in the bathroom, let the wind and rain waft in hit his body, and soon, his clothes were all wet.
"Xiao Nian, open the door......" Shu Ning was still outside his room, she was very worried, she was afraid that he would leave again like the last time he left.
As if he hadn't heard Shu Ning's voice, he sat on the ground for a long time, until he felt the coldness in his heart, and only then did he slowly stand up when he felt a slight pain in his left foot.
Looking at himself in the mirror, embarrassed and desperate, he couldn't even tell whether it was rain or tears on his face, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and he raised a sarcastic smile.
"You can still laugh?"
He seemed to be muttering to himself, as if he was asking himself in the mirror,
"A-Ning is leaving......"
"She's leaving!"
As soon as he said that, the smile on the face of the person in the mirror deepened, as if it was not him, but someone else, laughing at him, laughing at him for being just a poor creature that no one wanted.
Eventually, he punched the mirror, and the smiling face inside was completely shattered by him.
In an instant, a red liquid flowed out of his hand, and the memorial stood stunned as if he hadn't seen it.
"Remembrance!" Hearing the sound, Shu Ning's voice raised in vain, "What are you doing?" ”
As if he had finally heard the sound outside, he walked blankly step by step to open the door for Shuning, but the place he walked was unexpectedly dyed a heavy red.
As soon as the door opened, Shu Ning took the lead to look at the commemorative hand, and sure enough, it was so red and brilliant that it almost stabbed her eyes.
"You're crazy!" Unable to help but get angry, she reprimanded: "Even if you kill yourself, I still have to leave tomorrow." As she spoke, she took the memorial hand and examined it.
There was a pain in his eyes, as if he had been hurt by Shu Ning's words, and he pulled back his hand vigorously, "Don't worry about it!" "The door is about to close.
Shuning leaned against the door, his face ugly, "If it weren't for me, do you think I'd take care of you?" ”
Saying so, she still ripped off her coat, wrapped the memorial wound, and said in a bad tone: "Cover yourself, I'll go get the medicine kit." With that, he turned around and went downstairs.
