103. If you have the ability, come and grab it
"Mom, it's about my own happiness, I know how to take measure."
At this time, Jiang Che's urging voice came from downstairs, ending my conversation with my mother.
When I got downstairs, Jiang Che had already gotten into the car, half of his arm was exposed outside the car window, and he smiled at me when he saw it, "I thought you were addicted to talking to your mother, and you didn't want to come down." He drove jokingly, turned sideways and pushed the door open for me.
After getting in the car, he drove to the vegetable market, and kept asking me what I was going to do for him to entertain him. In fact, he didn't ask me, I know, after more than ten years of friendship, I know very well what he likes to eat.
He chattered with me all the way, always feeling that it was not me but him who had his birthday today, and this excitement was really contagious. Seeing him smile so happily, I couldn't help but laugh along with him.
"Zhong Xia, I still think it's better for you to be with me." Jiang Che said as a matter of course, his bright eyes staring ahead, "Do you dare to say that you can be so happy when you are with Liang Jinyan?" β
There are always unexpected but truly unexpected, unexpected, words that come out of his mouth. He's right, I rarely laugh when I'm with Liang Jinyan, and I rarely even talk about personal topics when I'm with him.
Although he didn't say much, Liang Jinyan did a lot for me, and he was the kind of person who turned everything he wanted to say into action. That's why I like him......
When I think of him, I will inevitably think of Xu Jiayi, maybe they will remarry today......
Thinking of this, I unconsciously frowned.
However, at this time, Jiang Che's warm fingers reached out in front of me and rubbed my twisted eyebrows, "If you really want to have a happy birthday, don't think about these messy things in your mind, what you want to think about now is what we eat at noon." By the way, I also prepared a surprise for you in the evening, are you looking forward to it? Jiang Che took out a small thing from his pocket and put it in the palm of my hand as if offering a treasure.
When I spread it out, it turned out to be a plum candy, or the kind of plum candy we used to eat when we were kids.
When the familiar wrapper was opened, a small brown translucent candy was revealed.
"I still remember that year, Jiang Zhi's mother bought him a can of plum candy, and he gave it to all the friends in the village, but he didn't give it to me. At that time, I was so angry that I poured all his words into the chicken coop in the middle of the night, and I was beaten the next day......" Jiang Che still looked ahead and drove cautiously, but with his recollection, I also remembered the incident.
I clearly remember that day Jiang Che was dragged to the chicken coop by Jiang Zhi's mother, forcing him to dig out the plum candy one by one from the rotten soil scratched by the chicken's paws, and forcing him to eat it.
It was the third year that Jiang Che came to Jiang's house, and I felt distressed to see Jiang Che being bullied by his mother so much, and watching him stuff the muddy plum candy into his mouth. Later, I didn't know where I got the courage to pull Jiang Che away from the chicken coop.
Later, when Jiang Zhi ate plum candy again, Jiang Che would hide to the side and pick his throat. The shadow of childhood caused by it invisibly, so at that time, Jiang Che and I never ate plum candy again.
"If you don't eat it, you're going to melt." Jiang Che urged, I just threw the plum candy into my mouth, sweet and sour, the same taste as I remembered.
A small piece of plum candy began to melt with the saliva in my mouth, and I turned my head to look at Jiang Che's side face and couldn't help but ask him why he gave me this.
"Actually, I know you like to eat, but you put up with it for so many years because of me. Zhong Xia, I don't like you on the spur of the moment. I know all these things that you have protected me and defended me when I was being bullied all these years. You know my preferences, you know my personality, just as I know you. Jiang Che said lightly, and the car stopped in the parking lot at the entrance of the vegetable market while speaking, "The plum candy is the shadow of my childhood, but it is not yours." Because of my dislike, you gave up what you liked. Zhong Xia, I don't want to be that plum candy, I can be liked by you, but in the end I end up being forgotten by you. β
A small word, Mei Tang, made him say such touching words.
In fact, even if he doesn't say anything now, I can understand his feelings, "Jiang Che, you don't have to say anything." I know everything you want to say, and maybe time will give me the best answer. I forced a smile at him, but he grabbed my hand as I pushed the door open to get down.
"Zhong Xia ......"
"I said, don't talk about these things today, if you want to have a good meal, hurry down and buy vegetables!"
I walked in front without looking back, Jiang Che chased after me, and the topic just now was over. After being silent for a while, he couldn't help but speak, "I know it's me pushing too hard that you're like this." Well, I'll just say nothing. β
"Well, talk to me so much without saying anything." I shook my head and glanced back at him, "I'm used to buying what I eat." β
"Good!" Jiang Che nodded again and again, followed me around the vegetable market several times, and when I went back, I was carrying a large bag in my hand.
At noon, because there were only me, my mother and Jiang Che, there were not many dishes to prepare, and after a simple meal, I was going to propose to find a small restaurant to eat in the evening, but I didn't expect to be rejected by Jiang Che.
My mom also said not to spend money indiscriminately, and also suggested eating at home, so I had to give up.
It's just that the doorbell was rang not long after lunch, and when I opened the door, I didn't expect it to be Bo Qing, who was holding a large bouquet of pink roses in his hand, far more than Jiang Che sent in the morning.
When Bo Qing came in with this bouquet of flowers, Jiang Che's face darkened, especially when he saw Bo Qing's cynical face, he even spoke in a sour tone.
In the face of Jiang Che's provocation, Bo Qing just didn't see it, and cheekily greeted me and my mother. Bo Qing had contact with my mother because of my father's transfer to the hospital, and my mother has always regarded Bo Qing as my leader.
When she saw Bo Qing come to the door in person, she couldn't help but be a lot more attentive, and once strongly asked Bo Qing to stay for dinner, but because of Jiang Che's face, Bo Qing could only wave his hand and say next time.
But before leaving, he told me that maybe Bai Yu would come tonight. I asked him what Bai Yu was going to do, and Bo Qing shook his head and said he didn't know, but it was probably not a bad thing.
As soon as Bo Qing left, Jiang Che's face immediately recovered, and he pointed at Sang and scolded Huai and said that Bo Qing was wrong, that look was really naΓ―ve.
Finally, seeing that he had stopped, my mother quickly pulled me into the kitchen and asked me if I was really with Jiang Che. My mother, a clear-eyed person, saw everything clearly, "You said that you have nothing to do with Xiao Che, but he can eat people when he looks at Mr. Bo." If you really get together with Xiao Che, you will provoke a bully for your family! β
"Auntie, I'm not happy if you talk about me like that." Jiang Che appeared in the kitchen by surprise, startling me and my mother, but he immediately changed his face and grinned at my mother, "Auntie, I'm serious about Xiao Xia!" I can guarantee that as long as Natsu is with me, I will do my best to be good to her. β
"But......" my mother opened her mouth, really embarrassed her, "Xiao Che, Xiao Xia told me everything about you." As Xiao Xia's mother, I hope she will live well, but our Xiao Xia can't climb up to your family's family background. β
"Auntie, so you're worried about this!" Jiang Che couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, "I thought it was something, my dad had already met Xiao Xia, and he didn't object to my affairs at all, so my aunt didn't have to worry about Xiao Xia being wronged after following me." β
Every word is Jiang Che's heartfelt words, and I naturally believe that he can say it.
"But......" My mother wanted to say something more, but at this time, Jiang Che's mobile phone rang, and he waved his hand and turned to answer the phone.
I couldn't guess who was calling him, but I could vaguely hear some important words.
Looking at Jiang Che's back, my mother couldn't help but sigh, "This kid's temperament is too direct, I can see that he really likes you, but I always feel that you can't choose him." β
"Mom, don't worry too much, I said that I will grasp my happiness myself." I stretched out my hand and hugged her, and just as I was about to say something more, I saw Jiang Che suddenly slam the door and go out.
The moment the door closed, I seemed to hear him say, "Liang Jinyan, if you have the ability, you can grab it!" β
