Chapter 43: Now I

After saying goodbye to Jian Shang who sent her back, Yan Xiao went upstairs with a "puff".

As soon as I inserted the key into the lock hole, I only heard a "click" in the door, and then I showed He Mengmeng's face behind the door.

Unexpectedly, He Mengmeng was still there at this point in time, and Yanxiao suddenly panicked, "You...... Why didn't you go to work? ”

Unhurriedly opened the door to let Yan Xiao in, He Mengmeng gave Yan Xiao a teasing expression, "I'll come back and get something...... But you can, little girl, now you have learned to stay home at night. ”

glanced at the ankle-length black coat that Yan Xiao was wearing again, and then said, "Hey, the little girl has grown up, and it's time to have a boyfriend." ”

took off the coat on his body and hung it aside, Yan Xiao hurriedly rushed to He Mengmeng's side and covered her mouth and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not what you think." ”

While laughing, He Mengmeng noticed the injury on Yan Xiao's face at a glance, "What's going on on your face?" Got into a fight with your boyfriend? Did he hit you? I'll tell you, a man who beats a woman can't be wanted......"

Covering He Mengmeng's endless mouth again, Yan Xiao briefly said that he met a gangster and was rescued on the night road. He Mengmeng, who was beside him, was also embarrassed when she heard the end, and comforted her for a long time with a smile that almost cried again.

After laughing for a while, He Mengmeng left first because she still had to report back to the society. Standing in front of the bathroom mirror after taking a shower, Yan Xiao checked the injury on his face, it still looks a little red and swollen, if he goes to work like this, he will probably be watched, and everyone in the editorial department is brainy, and I don't know what version of the story will be born at that time. Thinking of this, Yanxiao couldn't help but shudder, and without hesitation, she called the leader and asked for leave.

I stayed comfortably in the house for two days, and in the blink of an eye it was the weekend. When Yanxiao opened her eyes in the morning, He Mengmeng was already busy in the kitchen, and she said that she wanted to give Yanxiao a little comfort to her frightened little heart. Yanxiao was a little bored and wandered around the living room, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Jian Shang's coat hanging on the hanger. By the way, the uncle's clothes haven't been returned yet.

picked up the mobile phone, and just wanted to call Jian Shang, but he suddenly remembered the embarrassment of the two facing each other that day. hesitated for a moment, but finally changed to sending a message, after all, if you don't speak, there will be less embarrassment.

"Uncle, your coat is still with me, are you at home today? I'll send it to you. ”

After a while, "ding", the mobile phone rang, Yanxiao opened it and looked, "Are you better?" ”

"Well, I'm fine, I wasn't injured in the first place, I'm Xiaoqiang who can't be killed hahaha."

The person who looked at this message couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, thinking of the girl who sent the message at this moment, and the heart of Jian Shang, who had a thought in his heart, tickled, and with a movement of his fingers, a message was sent again.

"I'll look for you in a moment, wait for me."

After breakfast, He Mengmeng was pressed on the sofa, and Yanxiao took the initiative to take on the responsibility of washing the dishes. It's rare that the weather is so good today, and Yan Xiao only feels that the haze that has been in his heart for a few days has been swept away. Quickly brought the dishes under the faucet, and in the sound of running water, Yan Xiao couldn't help but hum a song.

At this time, He Mengmeng was slumped on the sofa, holding her mobile phone and chatting with her colleagues in the group. Suddenly, a knock on the door made her stunned, who?

Lazily got up and walked over to open the door, and as soon as the sentence "Who" blurted out, He Mengmeng looked at the man outside the door and was stunned.

"Excuse me, is Yan Xiao there?" Jian Shang asked politely.

He Mengmeng was still a little unable to turn around at this time, and her mind was full of pink question marks, who is this man? Why do you look so good? Looking for a smile? Why haven't you seen it before? I wonder if I have a girlfriend? Heck, the more you look at it, the better it looks......

Jian Shang was a little puzzled, and the question was not answered, and the girl in the door just stood there, looking at him blankly.

Clearing his throat, Jian Shang had to raise his voice again, "Hello? Is Yan Xiao there? ”

He Mengmeng finally came to her senses, opened the door to the maximum with an embarrassed red face, said "Yes, yes", and enthusiastically invited Jian Shang into the door.

"She's cleaning up in the kitchen." pointed to the location of the kitchen to the man, and was about to invite him to sit down on the sofa and chat, He Mengmeng saw the man walking in the direction she pointed, and when she walked outside the kitchen door, she stood still after seeing the back of the busy smile.

Tsk, looking at this back seems to be affectionate. He Mengmeng's heart only felt full of sourness, and she had to interrogate this little girl when she turned around! Picking up the spring heart that had just sprouted and was broken with a "click", and wiping away the tears that did not exist in the corners of her eyes, He Mengmeng turned around and went back to her room with a sad face.

Humming happily, the thin water flowed down, and the dishes became clean little by little in my hands. After putting away the washed dishes, Yan Xiao straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the water on his hands again, and turned his back to untie the knot behind the apron.

"Oops! It's a dead knot again......" pulled and pulled, and Yan Xiao helplessly realized that he had once again pulled his apron into a dead knot.

Wordlessly, he shrugged his shoulders to himself, and Yan Xiao had no choice but to pull the knot behind him while trying to pull the knot behind his back, while unknowingly shouting He Mengmeng, who had already moved from the living room into his room, "Sister Mengmeng, come and help me untie it, I pulled the apron into a dead button again!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Xiao only felt that someone was already approaching behind her, and a pair of hands were carefully untying it behind her, and soon, the apron on her body was loosened. Embarrassed to stick out his tongue, Yan Xiao took out two halves from the freshly peeled orange on the plate at hand, smiled and turned his head to stuff it into the mouth of the person behind him, and said, "Plug your mouth, don't take ......"

As soon as he turned around, before he finished speaking, Yan Xiao was already holding the orange in his hand and froze. Standing behind her was Jian Shang, who sent a message in the morning saying that he was coming to her.

"Uncle...... Why are you? I thought it was Sister Mengmeng......"

With a surprised expression on the girl's face, the corners of Jian Shang's mouth rose, and he glanced at the orange on the side of his mouth again, and asked playfully, "Aren't you trying to block my mouth?" ”

With a sudden, Yan Xiao only felt that her face was red all of a sudden, and she lowered her head sneerfully, and was about to withdraw her raised hand, but suddenly Jian Shang in front of her grabbed her wrist, dragged her hand, and sent the orange into her mouth.

Then he chewed and nodded calmly, "Well, it's sweet." ”

Yan Xiao only felt that his face was red and seemed to be dripping blood.

As if he had finally seen the embarrassment in the girl's expression, Jian Shang let go of Yan Xiao's wrist, took a step back, carefully looked at her restored white face, nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the topic as if unintentionally, "Are you done cleaning up?" ”

Yan Xiao looked up at Jian Shang at this time, nodded indifferently and said, "Well, it's over." ”

"Going for a walk?" Jian Shang raised his chin at the good weather outside the window, and looked at Yan Xiao again, as if asking for her opinion.

"Then you wait for me, uncle, I'll go change my clothes." As he spoke, Yan Xiao bypassed Jian Shang in front of him and entered his room.

Walking slowly on the street side by side with Jian Shang, the warm sunlight sprinkled down, and the people who illuminated it were a little drowsy. Yan Xiao secretly glanced at Jian Shang beside him, the man walked slowly beside him, and at this time, he was also rarely curling the corners of his mouth, squinting his eyes and smiling, making his whole person look more and more plump and handsome.

"Laugh!" The words and smiles that were traveling around space were suddenly brought back to his senses by the sudden cry of Jian Shang beside him.

Turning his head suspiciously, he glanced at the person who spoke, and the expression that was smiling just now somehow became serious again.

"You know, the people I've been involved in my experience aren't easy for us to deal with. So, Yanxiao, I hope you don't risk anything for me anymore. At the very least, I don't want you to be like me at the beginning, and encounter some pain and suffering that we can't bear, which can ruin a person's life. ”

Yan Xiao blinked, but did not respond to Jian Shang's earnest words, only silent for a moment and asked, "Uncle, I have always had a question for you. If you were who you are today, would you still pursue and uphold justice without hesitation as you did back then? ”

Jian Shang suddenly stopped. Looking at Yan Xiao, he couldn't help but recall his appearance when he first entered the reporter's career, it seemed to be similar to the little girl in front of him, full of enthusiasm, brave and persistent, when he saw a dark place, he wanted to plunge into it, and tried to warm and illuminate with his weak light and heat.

If it's who you are today......

Jian Shang took another step forward and raised his head, the sun was still shining on him.

There seemed to be faint words scattered behind him, and he said, "Whether it was before, now, or in the future, there are some things that I want to keep." ”
