Chapter 177: The Last Request
Just as I was about to pick the second mango, I suddenly heard a shout in the distance: "Who's there?" ”
With this loud shout, the bright light of a flashlight shone from not far away, and suddenly my body was invisible in the already sparse leaves.
I was shocked, I didn't expect that there were still people guarding this park, and I was arrested.
I saw an uncle in a security uniform hurrying over.
"Kid stealing mango from the tree, come down quickly!" The uncle's voice was like a coaxing bell, and he rebuked sharply.
While scolding me, he pointed at Mu Xichun and said, "You are together!" Don't go, wait and accept the punishment! It's glamorous to dress, but I didn't expect it to be so immoral, is this a human thing? ”
Mu Xichun didn't defend himself, he just stood in place, and was silent in front of the uncle.
It was difficult to get up the tree, but it was easy to get down, and as I slid down with my limbs around the trunk, the other two people present stared at me, as if they were stunned by my silky maneuver.
I stood barefoot in place, still holding the huge mango in my hand, and suddenly my old face turned red and I felt uncomfortable.
The old man nodded with a sneer and said, "The kid seems to have done this a lot!" ”
"No, I...... It's my first time! Hehe! I was embarrassed to argue.
"Do you know what this place is? This is a government-funded project, and every grass and tree is public, so your behavior is destroying public property, do you know? Is it a crime to know it? The old man reprimanded severely.
Mu Xichun and I stood side by side, like two children who had done bad things and were arrested, hanging their heads slightly and unable to speak.
Although the old man's words made me feel funny, he obviously didn't know what the crime of destroying public property was, probably because he finally caught the two thieves and finally showed the importance of his work, so he wanted to find some high-sounding words to achieve the purpose of educating us, but I didn't say anything to pierce him.
The old man criticized and educated us with his hands behind his back again, and then said, "What are your two names?" Where to work? I'm going to make a registration! If the company investigates it, I will have an explanation! ”
Mu Xichun and I glanced at each other and looked at each other, but I didn't expect this old man to be too serious about his work, didn't he just steal a mango, and he had to register so solemnly!
"Uh...... May I ask the old man, what is your work unit...... "I asked with some hesitation, this old man is so hard-hearted, I don't know which unit he belongs to?"
"Have you heard of Hongji Real Estate?" The old man interrupted me before I could finish asking, and his tone was full of pride. "I am an employee of Hongkai Real Estate, belonging to the company's economic and construction department, specializing in the on-site security of the project, and I never lose a screw in the company, so you stealing things under my nose are simply hitting my gun!"
I nodded in amazement, I didn't expect this person to be my colleague, and I didn't expect that there was such a person in our company, which was really touching. Suddenly, I felt that this idea was wrong, because I was no longer an employee of the company at the moment, and I couldn't help but feel sorry.
"Huh? You kid don't want to change the topic and get by, why did you ask me instead? What's your name? What is the place of work? The old man suddenly became serious again.
I turned my head to look at Mu Xichun, only to see her shaking her head slightly,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I understood what she meant, she didn't want to tell the old man who she really was, but I would love to see what kind of expression he would have when he knew that it was his boss who was standing in front of him.
It's just that since Mu Xichun doesn't want to reveal his identity, I won't say it.
"Uh,...... My name is Wei Dong, and her name is Mu Xi! "I casually lied.
Mu Xichun couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, but her smile was good, which made the old man, who was not suspicious, suddenly come over.
"Wei Dong Muxi? Stuff? You're fooling my old man! The old man glared at the old man and said sharply.
"You two come with me to the guard room, I want to register your ID cards!" As he spoke, he turned around and walked forward first.
I picked up my shoes and followed the old man with Mu Xichun, and the old man walked forward with his hands behind his back and didn't bother to look at us.
I couldn't help but think about it, and pulled Mu Xichun's sleeve, Mu Xichun looked back at me suspiciously.
I tilted my head at her, but she still didn't understand what I meant, and stared at me with big eyes.
I saw that the old man was more than ten meters away from us, and I didn't bother to explain to Mu Xichun, so I took her hand with a shoe in one hand and turned around and ran towards the gap in the fence where I came in.
Mu Xichun suddenly realized that her beautiful eyes were wider, but she did not break free from my hand, but was pulled by me with a shocked expression and ran with me.
The old man, though old, was still deaf and clear-sighted, and discovered our intentions at the same time as we turned and fled.
"Stinky boy, stop me!" The old man shouted and chased after him.
But he was an old man after all, and at first he could keep up with us, but he was soon left behind by us. When we ran to the gap, we looked back and saw that the old man had been thrown away by us a hundred or two hundred meters away, and he was still yelling at us to stop.
Mu Xichun and I got out of that gap, and I pulled her for a distance, stopping when we were both exhausted.
I sat on the road with my hands on the ground and panted backwards, Mu Xichun was no better, although she was pulled by me to run, but she was already drenched in sweat, she was also panting with her hands on her knees and bending over.
After a long time, we eased up a little and glanced at each other, and we couldn't help but burst into laughter, and almost tears came out of my laughter, and Mu Xichun was also trembling with laughter.
How long has it been since we laughed so loudly has made me feel a little dazed, as if the unpleasantness that happened between us does not exist, and we are still as happy and happy as before......
But laughing and laughing we all gradually stopped, when this little accident came to an end in our laughter, we can't help but have to face the reality in front of us, those unhappy, those entanglements, those injuries are really between us, this is the reality, the reality that we can't laugh......
I reached out and handed the mango to her and said, "Don't you want to eat the mango?" Here you go! ”
Mu Xichun hesitated for a long time, and slowly reached out to take the mango that was ripe and exuded a rich fruity fragrance, and his expression gradually became melancholy.
"It's late, you go back!" I felt a little uncomfortable looking at her instantaneous expression, it was hard to imagine that we were laughing uncontrollably just now, and in an instant we were pulled back by reality
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Come.
"Can you do something for me one last time?" She whispered.
I was stunned, she had said the same thing before picking the mango, but I didn't poke her, and what if I thought I was leaving tomorrow night, I would do one more thing for her?
It's just that I didn't plan to tell her about my departure, in fact, not only her, but I didn't even tell Xiangdong Li Liang.
I don't want to leave when there are still too many obstacles, I just want to leave quietly, and it doesn't hurt to tell them when I'm thousands of miles away and can't turn back.
I'm afraid that telling them will inevitably cause some embarrassment, which will only increase the sadness, and I am already a little unable to bear these emotions.
"What else can I do for you?" I suddenly became sad.
My words obviously also stung Mu Xichun, her expression became distorted because of sadness, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"Send me home, one last time! All right? She looked at me with a desolate look in her eyes
I nodded silently!
What more can I say? Tomorrow our fates will never intersect again, and our lives will never be your again......
Then please cherish this last time, this will be the last tribute to your youth, after tonight I will be completely old......
I slowly took the car keys she handed me and walked behind her in the direction of her car.
We spent the whole time in silence on the way back, and in fact I was tempted to find something to talk to her, but finally I didn't think of anything that seemed less stilted.
When I was about to turn at the intersection of the green shade community, Mu Xichun finally spoke: "I don't live here anymore, I've moved back!" ”
I didn't speak, turned the steering wheel on again, and drove towards the Cuiweiju villa area.
"Is the company okay?" I finally couldn't hold back the suffocating silence.
"Nothing good or bad, it's just busier now!" Mu Xichun stared out the window in the back seat and said with a cold expression.
"You have stomach cramps, no matter how busy you are, remember to eat on time!" I finally couldn't hold back and inadvertently said what was in my heart.
Mu Xichun slowly retracted his gaze, looked at me from the endoscope, and said faintly after a long time: "If I don't eat on time, will you come back to remind me?" ”
An inexplicable sourness suddenly surged in my heart, as if the softest part of my heart had been gently pricked by a needle, and there was a faint pain.
"Ah Wei is a careful person, I believe he will take care of you!" I hesitated for a moment and said insincerely, I really couldn't find any words to comfort her.
"Do you really think so?"
“…… Yes......"
"Even if you don't care about me anymore, you don't have to make excuses like that, I'm not a second-hand commodity or a pet, you don't have to sell me or entrust me to someone else! It's not like I've never lived alone! You don't have to worry about me! Mu Xichun's face turned out of the window again, her words were like iron beads smashing into my heart in my ears, I wanted to refute, I wanted to tell her loudly that it was not like this, but I could only hold back silently.
So I was silent again......
