Chapter Twenty-Three: The Maniac Who Killed His Father and Mother
Maybe it's because of the environment in which it grows.
Chen Jing is actually not good at handling interpersonal relationships.
As a Buddhist dead house, he has no friends in the real world, and as for colleagues or classmates, he hardly has any contact with him on a daily basis.
So...... How are relationships between friends maintained?
Chen Jing couldn't figure it out.
Even when he received the assignment of [Additional Question], he began to try to remember the TV series and movies he had watched......
As it turns out, making friends is not an easy task as a dead house with social difficulties.
At least he felt like he had screwed up now.
"I didn't expect you to wake up so early...... Chen Bofu walked to the side of the bed, raised his hand and touched Chen Jing's forehead, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "The body temperature has dropped a lot, it shouldn't be a big deal......
Chen Jing raised his face and smiled at Chen Bofu, but quickly turned his gaze to the place where Kui Nan left, and there was no figure in sight outside the window.
Only the evening breeze of Xi Xi blew the flaxen-colored curtains, and the yellowed plastic card ventilation bell jingled......
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Bofu asked curiously, looking in the direction Chen Jing was looking, "Why did she scold you for being a liar?" ”
"It's nothing...... Chen Jing pretended to be calm and shook his head, then turned around and smiled at Chen Bofu again, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'm much better." ”
When Chen Bofu heard him say this, his face suddenly burst into laughter.
"Grandpa brought you some food, all from the warehouse of the property office, all good things!"
"I'll eat later...... I just woke up and wasn't hungry......"
"Then I'll take it to the kitchen first, and if I want to eat it, I'll ask Ryan to heat it for you."
As soon as the words fell, Chen Bofu seemed to suddenly remember something, so he added.
"In the future, Ryan will be our retainer, or nanny, subordinate, anyway, it's all the same......"
Chen Jing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the little skeleton Ryan standing aside, and several big question marks appeared on his face.
"This little guy is very clever, he can help me take care of you in the future, and when grandpa is not at home, he can also help you serve tea, pour water, wash and fold quilts......"
"I'm not paralyzed, I don't need someone else to take care of ......"
"Yes, yes!"
Ryan had changed into a white-washed children's outfit at the moment, and he didn't know where he found it, and he didn't stutter much, and he spoke fluently as if he had changed his skull head.
"Young master, you can recuperate with peace of mind! I have everything big and small in the family! The lord has already told me what you like to eat! Lane will do it for you tomorrow! ”
“……”
"Don't worry, young master! Ryan will study hard in the future! In the future, I will definitely serve the young master and the master better! ”
At this moment, Ryan couldn't see the helplessness on Chen Jing's face at all, but was as excited as if he was beating chicken blood, as if for him, it was a supreme honor to be able to integrate into this family......
But it's a pity that Chen Jing is helpless to die at the moment.
After all, he is not a member of this world, and he still can't accept this feeling of raising a subordinate in his family.
He doesn't like to be called on, and he doesn't like to be called on others.
"Good grandson, if you are sleepy, lie down and sleep for a while, grandpa will go out first, so as not to disturb your rest...... But don't be afraid! Grandpa is sitting in the living room! Not going anywhere! ”
"yes, okay."
"Ryan, bring the stuff to the kitchen!"
"Understood!"
With the bedroom door closed.
Chen Jing was the only one left in the empty room.
"Am I a liar......
The smile on Chen Jing's face had long been put away, and he looked out the window in confusion at the dark night that had not changed for thousands of years, feeling a little uncomfortable inexplicably.
Let's be honest.
At first, he just made friends with a "get the job done" mentality.
Bite the bullet and interact with strange neighbors.
He does what the other party says.
From beginning to end, it almost follows the other party's wishes.
He felt that he had done enough to do this, and if he still couldn't complete that task, there was nothing he could do......
After all, it's like a game, and not every side quest can be completed to perfection.
But in the process of completing the task...... Chen Jing felt as if he had become less like himself, because he found that he had a lot more in his mind than the ultimate goal of completing the task.
Especially between with Kui Nan.
Maybe it's really because they've experienced a deadly threat, so it's hard for Chen Jing to treat Kui Nan as a game NPC, and he will only feel sad to hear her scold herself for being a liar.
At this moment, he felt very guilty, and even felt that he was a little stupid.
If you had thought of a better way to contact Kui Nan at the beginning, instead of making up an identity to perfunctory her, would everything be different?
"What do I do now......
"How is it played in the TV series......"
"To apologize?"
Chen Jing sat on the bed and thought for a while, his brows furrowed so much that he could catch flies.
"Her eyes seemed to be very sad......
"Am I overdoing it......
"But I really didn't mean to lie to her......"
"Seems like a bit too much......
Chen Jing curled up on the side of the bed like a child, with only half of his face exposed outside with the quilt on his head, and the expression in his eyes was very entangled.
In fact, from a certain point of view, Chen Jing is indeed no different from a child.
At least when it comes to socializing with friends......
He really didn't have any experience.
It's like a child breaking up with a good partner, Chen Jing feels guilty and a little aggrieved...... But after thinking about it for a while, he still decided to go to Kui Nan to make it clear, at least to explain.
"Good grandson, why did you come out suddenly?"
Chen Bofu was lying on the sofa in the living room, Ryan was squatting on the side to help him pinch his shoulders and beat his back, and when he saw Chen Jing suddenly walking out with an absent-minded face, they all looked at him together.
Especially when the grandfather Chen Bofu was a harrier who turned over and jumped up from the sofa, grabbed Chen Jing in a panic and checked his body.
"How ...... your current physical condition?"
"It's fine." Chen Jing smiled, "I can feel it, it's much better." ”
"Are you hungry then?" Chen Bofu said, then turned back and gave Ryan a look, "Go to the hot dish!" Don't starve my grandson! ”
"Got it, sir!"
"Don't heat it up, I'm going to go out for a ......"
Chen Jing walked to the shoe cabinet and was about to change the shoes he was wearing when he went out, but when he thought that he was going to see Kui Nan, he stopped again.
"Forget it, let's heat it up, Ryan, help me put it in the lunch box, I'll pack it and eat it."
"Okay young master!"
Chen Bofu glanced at Ryan, who was bouncing around and running to the kitchen to heat the dishes, and then turned to look at Chen Jing.
"You're going to find that minx?"
"Hmm."
"You guys quarreled?"
"Don't count......
"Stay away from her."
Hearing these cold words, Chen Jing couldn't help but be stunned.
"Stay away from her?"
"Hmm......" Chen Bofu turned his head and continued to stare at the evening news on TV, speaking in a tone as relaxed as chatting about the gossip next door, "Kui Nan is a very dangerous person. ”
Hearing the old man say this, Chen Jing was a little surprised in his heart.
He didn't expect this kind of "high evaluation" to come out of the old man's mouth.
Yes.
High rating.
can make Chen Bofu call it "dangerous", then she ......
"It's dangerous for you, it doesn't matter to me." Chen Bofu didn't need to look back at Chen Jing's expression, he seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking, "That girl is crazy......"
"Crazier than you?"
"No me...... Hey, no, Jingjing, do you have an opinion about grandpa? What do you mean to be crazier than me? ”
"Just kidding." Chen Jing hurriedly diverted the topic, "Grandpa, you go on." ”
"Don't interrupt you!"
Chen Bofu glanced at him angrily and touched the explosive head like Einstein.
"Uh...... Where did I say ......?"
"Oh yes, that girl is crazy, you should stay away from her!"
As he spoke, Chen Bofu suddenly took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket.
It looks like an ordinary commercial cigarette, but Chen Jing has never seen the brand of this cigarette, and the colorful LOGO is a huge skeleton with a thumbs up, and a line of bold characters written underneath......
[If you can't die, you will be pumped to death].
"Although we moved to this community later, I've heard that Kui Nan's girl is crazy when she is young."
Chen Bofu held a paper cigarette in his mouth, and with a slight snap of his fingers, the cigarette butt suddenly lit up with a scarlet fire.
"When she was five years old, she killed the family of four next door because of a verbal conflict......"
"When she was eight years old, her father beat her so hard that she killed her father......"
"When I was twelve years old, I don't know why she quarreled with her mother, and her mother was thrown down from the stairs by her and fell to pieces......"
"When she was sixteen, two of her friends went to celebrate her birthday and went out together, and the result was ...... Hey. ”
Chen Bofu held a cigarette with a smile on his face, as if he was saying something particularly interesting.
"If it weren't for the timely salvage by the security guards, I'm afraid the bodies of those two girls would still be wandering in the Xiyue River."
Let's talk about it.
Chen Bofu also saw the incredulous expression on Chen Jing's face, and immediately said a word of relief.
"My good grandson wants to make friends, of course grandpa supports it, but Kui Nan is too dangerous for you......"
Chen Bofu reminded earnestly.
"If that girl is crazy, let alone some bullshit friend, she won't even let go of her biological parents, so you still listen to grandpa's advice to stay away from her."
"There must be some misunderstanding in this...... I don't think she's that kind of person......"
Chen Jing couldn't help but retort, thinking of everything he had experienced today, he really couldn't connect the Kui Nan in his impression with the "madman" in the old man's mouth.
She did have a big temper.
Sometimes it's just a matter of brains.
But......
……
"Why are you here?"
"I'm afraid that the old madman won't give you a good treatment!"
……
"I'm feeling better, I shouldn't need to take medicine......"
"Eat! Lao Tzu paid for it! You have to eat even if you're not sick! ”
……
"By the way, little brother, what's your name?"
"Chen Jing."
"Oh...... My name is Kui Nan, and the name on the receipt must have been written by that old madman, what bullshit has no brains, Lao Tzu has the most brains! ”
……
"Young Master! Meals are packed! I'll be with you ......"
"No, I'll just go myself."
"Are you really going to go to her?" Chen Bofu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that his grandson didn't listen to persuasion and wasn't angry, he shook his head with a smile, "It seems that you don't believe what your grandfather said......
"Yes, but I think there must be some misunderstanding."
Chen Jing took the plastic bag containing the lunch box from Ryan's hand, and casually put the key on the shoe cabinet into his pocket, his face was as usual.
"And I've got to apologize to her, or I won't be able to sleep."
"How old is a person, how can he still be like a child......"
Chen Bofu turned his head to continue watching TV with a cigarette in his mouth, and he still smiled when he heard the sound of the door closing behind him.
Never mind.
Let the grandson do whatever he wants, and there's nothing to worry about with me staring at this building anyway......
At this point, the news program on TV was over.
Chen Bofu rubbed his cloudy old eyes, slowly got up from the sofa, stood up straight and stretched comfortably, and a series of crisp sounds suddenly sounded in his thin and shriveled body.
"Ryan, you wait here for the young master to come back, and I'll go lie down for a while."
"Yes, sir!"
"Do you want to watch TV? Don't look at me and turn it off. ”
"I ...... I won't look at it......"
"If you want to see it, you can see it, and our family is not bad for this electricity bill......"
Just as Ryan carefully took the remote control from Chen Bofu's hand, the black-and-white screen mobile phone that was placed aside suddenly rang.
Chen Bofu glanced at the caller ID, and then answered with a yawn.
"Hello?"
"Old man, it's me, Jade Yu."
Hearing this familiar voice, Chen Bofu raised his hand and clasped his ears, and said impatiently: "Oh, I can hear your voice, Lord Yuyu, the magistrate of Taiping District, right!" ”
As soon as Chen Bofu was polite, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly couldn't sit still.
"Old man, I just learned about the attack on your grandson, and no one thought that the wasteland polluted species would advance to the city during the moon festival......
The tone of the jade on the other end of the phone became more and more nervous, as if he knew that he would be in big trouble if he didn't explain this clearly.
"Originally, I wanted to explain to you in person, but the investigation on my side has not yet been ......."
"Okay, then you go check first, why do you talk so much about an old man like me."
Chen Bofu just laughed, but the sense of oppression revealed between his words made the jade on the other end of the phone a little frightened.
Because he knows what the old madman's reverse scales are.
"Old man, I will give you an explanation for this."
Hearing Yu Yu's assurance, Chen Bofu did not answer, but looked at the chandelier on the ceiling in a daze.
Although the jade on the other side of the phone couldn't hear Chen Bofu's voice, he didn't dare to hang up the phone, so he could only wait patiently.
"You'll come over tomorrow." Chen Bofu said suddenly.
Jade Yu didn't say anything, as if hesitating.
"Tomorrow at noon." Chen Bofu added.
As soon as he heard this, Yu Yu immediately knew that he had no possibility of refusing, not to mention that he didn't have the courage to refuse.
"Okay."
"Come back after dinner! Don't try to rub my family's food! ”
“…… Good. ”
