Chapter 15: Snooping
Lin Jiang didn't expect that he would fall asleep.
When I woke up, I was still a little confused, and I was used to lifting the quilt, but I found that my body was strangled by a seat belt.
After shaking for a while, Lin Jiang remembered that Huo Congzhou used the intimate photos of the two to force her downstairs and accompany him for supper.
But there will be no one in the car.
Lin Jiang found Huo Congzhou at the door of the "Youjia Food Stall" on the street.
Underneath him was a cheap red plastic stool, and a few bottles of beer were piled up on the folding table in front of him.
The boss behind him sprinkled a handful of spices on the barbecue, and a burst of fire ignited and green smoke rose.
Full of fireworks.
Huo Congzhou's body exuded a coldness that was incompatible with the surroundings.
It was as if it was wrapped in mist, and people couldn't help but want to peep.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Huo glanced over from the turnaround.
His eyes were very light, and there seemed to be nothing in them, but they seemed to contain a lot.
Lin Jiang's breath couldn't help but freeze.
A car away, her eyes met.
Eyes collided, like eight years in a flash.
It's long, but it's short.
There seemed to be something fermenting in his heart, and Lin Jiang didn't want to investigate his innermost thoughts.
Driven by the thought of this moment, she unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car and sat down opposite Huo Congzhou.
"Drink?"
Lin Jiang pushed a glass over.
After a glass of wine, the boss came over with a skewer, looked at the sleepy-eyed Lin Jiang, and said with a smile, "Your husband is afraid that you won't be able to eat hot, so let me roast it later." ”
"I didn't expect you to wake up as soon as it was baked, and the time was just right for me!" The boss gave Lin Jiang a thumbs up.
"You little couples eat slowly, it's not enough to call again." After saying that, he turned around and entered the store.
Lin Jiang, who had a dense conversation, couldn't pick it up.
When the words of explanation came to his lips, he swallowed them back raw.
And Huo Congzhou turned a deaf ear from beginning to end, as if the boss's words had nothing to do with him.
Such as...... It doesn't matter if others mistake them for husband and wife.
Because of him, he didn't care who Lin Jiang was at all.
At four o'clock in the morning, the streets were empty, with the occasional car passing by.
But in this small corner, there are only her and Huo Congzhou.
The quiet air was a little uncomfortable, and his thoughts drifted to Huo Congzhou, and then flowed back to the past.
When he was in high school, Huo Congzhou's grandmother also sold barbecue, but on a small cart.
Every time after school, Lin Jiang had to follow Huo Congzhou to the stall, saying that he was helping his grandmother greet guests, but he couldn't stop eating.
Huo Congzhou always said with a cold face, "Don't eat it." ”
Lin Jiang grinned, flattering and well-behaved, "It's not that you don't give money, right, grandma?" ”
"Eat whatever you want, grandma won't charge you money."
……
Thinking of this, Lin Jiang's eyes couldn't help but pantothenic.
Huo Congzhou said that he didn't hate or mind, but he could always stab a knife at someone lightly.
She picked up a string of crispy pork belly and took a big bite of it, trying to hide the guilt in her heart.
The boss's craftsmanship is very good, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, crispy and crispy, but there is no satisfaction of biting down like Lin Jiang remembers.
She chewed slowly, stopped what she was doing, and raised her eyes to look at Huo Congzhou.
Huo Congzhou was also looking at her.
"Grandma, she ......" Lin Jiang opened his lips with difficulty.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Huo Congzhou interrupted her indifferently.
I knew that my grandmother died five years ago, and it was half a year since my grandmother was negligent.
She contacted Huo Congzhou, but his number ...... It doesn't work.
In the face of Huo Congzhou's cold questioning, Lin Jiang couldn't say a word of defense, she restrained the sourness of her nasal cavity, and said a little helplessly, "I'm sorry." ”
This is the first time that Lin Jiang apologized to Huo Congzhou for his past.
But these three words were like thorns, piercing Huo Congzhou to suppress the angry switch.
He poured down a glass of beer, lowered it, and looked cold, "No need." ”
"She's not you."
Lin Jiang wanted to say no, grandma is also her relative.
But Huo Congzhou's eyes were too cold, as if he could frostbite everything.
"I ......"
His throat was choked, Lin Jiang breathed hard, and a low request escaped from his throat, "Can I go see grandma?" ”
Huo Congzhou's warm gaze still fell on Lin Jiang's face.
Lin Jiang's pale face was covered with tears, his eyes were red, his slender neck was vulnerable, and he looked like he was being killed.
It's like that beautiful and fragile little Jiaojiao when she falls in love in bed.
But in fact, no one knew Lin Jiang's cold-bloodedness better than Huo Congzhou.
People cannot be resurrected after death, and they cannot be resurrected when their feelings are destroyed.
Huo Congzhou's eyes retracted, the anger in his body faded, and he said to the boss of the store, "Pay." ”
paid, turned around, and didn't even give Lin Jiang a look.
Almost subconsciously, Lin Jiang chased after him with his slippers.
Before the person could catch up, he lay on the ground first.
Lin Jiang felt that his mandible was about to shatter, and he gasped in pain, and Huo Congzhou was already a hundred meters away.
Forget it, the white-eyed wolf is the white-eyed wolf.
She didn't even go to worship her father.
Enduring the pain and tears, Lin Jiang struggled to get up, but he didn't pick it up for a long time.
After a while, Lin Jiang tried again.
In his sight, he fell into Huo Congzhou's black shoe.
The man's low-magnetic voice smashed above his head, "Bitter meat meter? ”
The dust-stained lips pursed, and Lin Jiang's curled fingers were closed, pretending to be calm, "Huo Congzhou...... You took me fifty thousand. ”
"So?"
"Help Me Up......"
Huo Congzhou was not in a hurry, "That's another price." ”
Knowing that Huo Congzhou was putting the hook, Lin Jiang still bit it, "What? ”
"Miss, what else do you have besides yourself now?"
