Chapter Twenty-Nine: Normal Life
Zhu Xixi said with a slightly unnatural expression: "I asked Feng Tang, why are you so good, Feng Tang said, because I am good to you, this is called Aiwu and Wu." ”
Ah Xu's expression froze for a moment when he heard this, and he asked uncertainly: "So you want to love Han Fei and Wu?" Because he's a friend of Li Jiang, he doesn't care about what he messes with you? You've only met Li Jiaang a few times, and you like him so much? ”
Zhu Xixi didn't answer, just looked down at the cake and was distracted.
Ah Xu felt that he couldn't understand who Zhu Xixi would like if he was so indifferent, he didn't look very interested and got up to go to the bathroom, and as soon as he turned around, he heard Zhu Xixi's answer.
She said softly: "Because I think that with Li Jiang, you can have a normal life as an ordinary person." You can pretend that you can't see ghosts, and you can pretend that you don't have painful memories. ”
Including that she wants to leave Zhu Qiao, she also wants to live an ordinary life without shuttling between ghosts.
Ah Xu stopped, listening to Zhu Xixi's words, she felt a little sore in her heart, it turned out that she was longing for a normal life for ordinary people.
Yes, with those talents comes with unimaginable pressures......
Ah Xu had insomnia this night, and his mind kept circulating the words Zhu Xixi said, and the tone was very different from the usual indifference and sharpness.
"Ordinary normal life......" Ah Xu opened his eyes and looked at the moonlight outside the window, that is also something he can't hope for, can he one day live an ordinary life like a normal person?
Early the next morning, Zhu Xixi walked out of the bedroom as usual and was about to go to the bathroom, but when she passed by the living room, she found that there was no Ah Xu on the sofa, she looked around and called a few times: "Ah Xu?" Axu? ”
No one answered.
Zhu Xixi took out his mobile phone to call Ah Xu's watch, but he couldn't get through, and looked at the empty bed on the sofa suspiciously, this guy is missing again, how many times has this been?
Just as Zhu Xixi was brewing anger, her mobile phone rang, it was Li Jiaang.
Zhu Xixi picked up the phone with some surprise and said, "Hey? ”
"Xixi, it's me, Li Jiaang, I hope it didn't bother you." Li Jiang's eternally energetic voice rang from the other end of the phone, as bright and warm as a ray of sunshine through the dark clouds.
Zhu Xixi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and asked, "No, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"The last time the traffickers were there, I took it upon myself to help you apply for the Outstanding Citizen Award, and commended you for providing clues and helping many families find their children, and there was a simple award ceremony in the bureau in the afternoon, are you free?" Li Jiaang paused and waited for Zhu Xixi to answer, his words were full of anticipation.
Zhu Xixi was a little surprised, but he still agreed and said, "Yes, what time?" I went ahead of time. ”
Li Jiaang said with a smile: "At half past three in the afternoon, at the police station, you have been here twice, you should know the road, right?" ”
"Well, okay, I'll go on time." After Zhu Xixi hung up the phone, he stared at the phone screen and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Li Jiang's sunny smile unconsciously appeared in front of him.
At this time, the door rang, Ah Xu stepped on his feet to open the door, saw Zhu Xixi standing in the living room, and said, "Are you awake?" ”
Hearing Ah Xu's voice, Zhu Xixi immediately turned around and looked over, and saw that he was actually carrying a bun in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "Where have you been?" ”
"Buy breakfast." Ah Xu went to the kitchen and took out two bowls, put breakfast on the coffee table and said, "I woke up and sat by the window, and the smell of breakfast downstairs kept wafting to my nose, so I went down and bought it." ”
Zhu Xixi sat on the sofa suspiciously and asked, "Do you have any money?" ”
"Nope." Ah Xu said calmly, "So I bet my watch on the breakfast shop and told the boss that I would go upstairs to get the money." ”
He stretched out his little hand and said, "Breakfast money." ”
Zhu Xixi stared at him for a few seconds, and suddenly wanted to laugh, he was like a small creditor.
"Hurry up." Ah Xu urged, "My watch is still there!" ”
Zhu Xixi lowered his head and transferred money to Ah Xu with his mobile phone and said, "Your watch can be paid, it's over." ”
"Oh." Ah Xu turned around and ran out with his little short legs.
When he went down the stairs, Ah Xu patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he was clever enough to buy some breakfast, fortunately just in time for Zhu Xixi to get up, otherwise this time he would have to find some reason to explain that he disappeared in the middle of the night.
Ah Xu wanted to tell Zhu Xixi her secret, but somehow, she didn't want to say it more and more, especially after she said that she wanted to live a normal life as an ordinary person.
It seems that after saying it, it will make it even more obvious that he is not a normal person.
Ah Xu, who went back upstairs, met the little couple at the door, and the two of them actually walked downstairs with you on their shoulders and me holding you, talking and laughing.
This makes Ah Xu stupid, didn't he fight so fiercely last time? How is this ......
Could it be that this is love?
Back at home, Ah Xu sat on the sofa and said puzzledly: "I just saw the husband and wife at the opposite door, the two of them actually look very affectionate, the injury on the woman's face is not healed, and she actually forgave her husband?" It's incredible, isn't it? ”
Zhu Xixi drank soy milk and said nonchalantly: "I'll just say don't meddle in other people's affairs, people are willing to fight and suffer, and in the end, they will work together to deal with outsiders." By the way, we'll go out in the afternoon. ”
"Where are you going?" Ah Xu asked while eating steamed buns.
"Police station." Zhu Xixi explained, "Because of the arrest of human traffickers, Li Jiaang helped us apply for the award of outstanding citizens, and went to receive the award in the afternoon. ”
As soon as he heard Li Jiang's name, Ah Xu felt that the buns in his hand were no longer fragrant, and he responded lightly: "Oh." ”
The two of them were eating breakfast quietly, and Ah Xu suddenly remembered something and said, "Then you...... Buy me two clothes, and get the prize in the afternoon, it's a little better. ”
"Huh?" Zhu Xixi turned her head to look at Ah Xu, looking up and down, he only had the pajamas and a change of clothes that Feng Tang bought for him, and the weather was getting colder day by day, it was time to add clothes, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, go shopping after eating." ”
"Sell the bracelet that the old lady gave me last time." Ah Xu proposed, "It's also convenient to exchange it for money, I'm very generous, and I'll share half of it." ”
Zhu Xixi sneered and said, "Do I want to thank you?" ”
"You're welcome." Ah Xu raised his eyebrows and looked like a little arrogant.
After packing up and going out, the two of them took the bus to the jewelry store where they asked about the ring last time to sell bracelets, but they didn't expect the old lady's bracelet to sell for a good price of 180,000 yuan.
When the two of them went out, their steps were a little hurried, for fear that the boss would regret calling them.
The boss was also very nervous when he stared at them and went out, for fear that they would regret turning back and not selling.
Both sides think they've picked up a big bargain.
On the bus, Ah Xu looked at the balance displayed in his watch and counted it several times, it was the first time he had so much money, and he was so happy in his heart, and he also had a very down-to-earth feeling.
Zhu Xixi, who was next to him, looked at him stealing fun and asked, "What?" Do you regret taking half of me? ”
"Of course not!" Ah Xu said seriously, "You take good care of me, that's what you deserve." ”
Zhu Xixi is still a little embarrassed to say this, and I think I don't take very good care of Ah Xu.
The two of them got out of the car and went to the mall, and came to the floor of children's clothes, Zhu Xixi didn't like shopping, so she walked with her hands behind her back, and there were children's chirping sounds everywhere, she didn't like it.
I suddenly felt that it would be nice if all the children were like Ah Xu, able to communicate normally, not crying, and have a certain self-care ability.
"Let's take a look here." Ah Xu pulled the corner of Zhu Xixi's clothes and pulled her into a store.
The first thing Zhu Xixi did when she entered the store was to find a place to sit and let Ah Xu see it by herself, she was bored and pulled her mobile phone, and she didn't pay attention to where Ah Xu went.
After a while, the store resounded with the cry of a child, the shrill screaming of a woman, and it seemed that there was also Axu's voice.
Zhu Xixi looked up and looked for Ah Xu's figure in the rows of clothes, and sure enough, in the middle of the bustle, a gorgeously dressed woman was scolding Ah Xu fiercely with her waist crossed.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that Ah Xu's figure was so weak, and she was so pitiful and helpless in the face of an aggressive adult.
The woman scolded Ah Xu with a domineering appearance: "Where did you come from, the wild child that no one wants!" No rules, no upbringing! ”
Ah Xu clenched his little fists and shouted: "Who are you talking about, wild child!" ”
"Dare to shout!" The woman pointed at Ah Xu with her index finger, and her face was a little distorted because of anger, and said, "I saw you push my son to the ground!" Still want to deny it? ”
Zhu Xixi's anger came up as soon as he rubbed it, walked over quickly to protect Ah Xu by his side, and directly slapped the woman's hand away, and said slowly with a strong aura: "What do you mean when you speak?" Didn't the kindergarten teacher teach you to be civilized and polite? No rules, no upbringing! ”
Zhu Xixi's sudden appearance surprised Ah Xu, he looked up at Zhu Xixi's angry face, and felt a sense of security in his heart, and he couldn't take his eyes off.
"You!" The woman who was beaten was stunned, and instantly became even more angry, her chest rose and fell violently, and her son's crying attracted a lot of people to watch.
The woman's voice became more shrill, and she yelled with madness: "You can still hit people casually!?" Where did the wild girl come from! ”
"Is this called a beating?" Zhu Xixi said unhurriedly, "You haven't seen what it means to beat someone, have you?" ”
As she spoke, she raised her arms, and the woman thought she was going to be slapped, so she subconsciously closed her eyes and shrunk her neck in fear.
But Zhu Xixi didn't fight, he looked at the woman contemptuously with his hands around his chest and said: "It is inevitable that there will be friction in places where there are many children, and when adults can't carry it clearly, they really should be beaten!" You will protect your child, and I will protect mine! ”
Then she lowered her head and asked Ah Xu: "Say, what's wrong with her?" ”
Suddenly facing Zhu Xixi's eyes, Ah Xu was stunned, unnaturally turned his gaze, and stammered: "I, when I looked at the clothes, he was going to snatch them, I pulled the clothes, and he actually reached out to hit me, so I pushed him." ”
Ah Xu said pitifully and raised the back of his hand to show Zhu Xixi, there were three red marks on it, and it was slightly oozing blood.
"Who hit you!" The woman began to defend her son in a hurry, "I obviously saw that you pushed my son!" ”
The sharp and vexatious voice made Zhu Xixi irritable, and he looked over directly, stretched out his hand and pushed it the woman's shoulder, and said with ruthlessness: "Is this how you pushed?" Have you ever asked why? Just here pointing at that other person's child?! Look what your hands have done! ”
At this time, the woman staggered two steps and lost her temper in an instant, and in the face of Zhu Xixi's powerful aura, she had no choice but to stare dryly, and she didn't dare to speak or move again.
The clerk on the side hurriedly came over to make peace, evacuated the onlookers who ate melons, and apologized for serving tea and pouring water.
