033 Awkward
Making a guess, Jiang Ningyu went in.
"Hello." In the face of strangers, she has always been generous, "I am a classmate of Lin Xuyue, can I go to condole?" After that, he handed over the white gift money.
The men were stunned.
One of them was a little haggard, but his eyebrows and eyes were handsome, and he looked at the middle-aged man who was a little similar to Lin Xuyue, hesitated, but still gave a salute and said politely, "Xuyue's classmate, of course it's okay." ”
Then he took her to the mourning hall.
The door was open, two doors, and the middle-aged man didn't go in, but said gently, "Xuyue is guarding inside." If you want, you can stay for dinner. ”
"Okay, thank you, uncle." After seeing him leave, Jiang Ningyu tidied up her clothes slightly. Fortunately, today I considered that I wore a pair of wide-legged pants when I went far away, and the top was also a light yellow plain flower, which was fresh and elegant, and it was convenient to hit it by mistake at this time.
She glanced left and right, but didn't see Lu Li, so she stepped in with a grimace.
The decoration of the mourning hall that I have only seen on TV, a solemn coffin, a posthumous statue, an incense burner, a couplet and flowers, and a lantern lit on the long table.
But it is a little strange, the tone of the mourning hall is half bright, half heavy, like it is not like joy and mourning, as if there are two groups of people with very different ideas.
Lin Xuyue didn't wear linen and filial piety like her relatives, she was wearing ordinary casual clothes, sitting on a chair next to the coffin, propping one hand on the table against her temples and closing her eyes, looking slightly tired.
When I got closer, I found that the dark circles under the long eyelashes were fragile and lonely hidden in the seemingly tough shell, which was inexplicably distressing.
Jiang Ningyu bowed to the coffin first, then walked lightly behind the man and stretched out her hands towards his shoulders.
The moment he touched him, the man sat up straighter, and his clear and pleasant voice carried a low unhappiness, "Mom, I said don't bother me." ”
Don't bother me? I don't think I've ever heard him say that. I guess that's what happened to his own mother.
Jiang Ningyu was inexplicably embarrassed, put her hand on it again, and then pressed it gently.
"Aren't you tired from sitting for so long?"
The moment she spoke, Jiang Ningyu clearly felt that his body stiffened and stopped moving. Forgot to resist too.
It seems to have scared him.
Thinking that he would not make a big move in the mourning hall, Jiang Ningyu gently and skillfully pressed his shoulder.
This act was slightly intimate, and it should not be the work of a man who had resolved several times not to disturb him again.
But Jiang Ningyu just couldn't help it. Seeing him, he couldn't help the turbulence under the calm surface of the waves, especially when he was fragile and sad. Of course, I was also done to be pushed away by resistance.
But Lin Xuyue just rubbed her face with her hands, as if she wanted to sober herself up, and then looked back at her.
His eyes were a little dilated, slightly stunned, but there was no surprised look, as if he couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams.
It is a look that Jiang Ningyu rarely sees.
"Linxuyue?" She couldn't help but reach out and shake it in front of his eyes.
But he was gently pulled. Then in her slightly startled eyes, he held her hand with one hand and pressed his temple with the other, revealing a troubled expression, "I'm tired, can you walk away?" ”
Jiang Ningyu whispered, reasonable, "You pull me, I can't leave." ”
"Nonsense, you can break away by pulling you." Lin Xuyue still didn't let go, and once again held her temples and closed her eyes, looking unwilling to take care of her.
Jiang Ningyu felt that he was a little delirious, pulled the chair next to him, and sat down beside him. The hand he held tightened silently, silently holding him.
At that moment, she seemed to see Lin Xuyue's eyelashes tremble. Then he tilted his head and fell asleep on the table.
When Lu Li came in, the first thing he saw was the two of them shaking hands. Lin Xuyue's body was lying on her stomach to the left, but her right hand was tightly pulling the other side, which gave her a splitting and funny look.
And Jiang Ningyu leaned on the back of the chair in silence in a daze, heard the movement and looked over, and saw that it was him. An unnatural look appeared on his face. She tried to move her hand, but it didn't twitch, and she gave up.
Lu Li didn't have a special expression, and lowered his voice and said to her, "Xuyue's father asked me to call you for dinner." ”
“…… Ha? ”
Jiang Ningyu showed a messy expression.
Could it be that the middle-aged man is Lin Xuyue's father?
She subconsciously thought back to her previous performance, it should be decent, right?
"And what about him?" Jiang Ningyu looked at the person next to her.
Lu Li expressed what to do with his actions. He walked over and woke the person up, "Hey, get up and eat." ”
Jiang Ningyu was shocked by him and was speechless for a while.
Lin Xuyue was originally sleeping lightly, but when she heard his voice, she subconsciously said, "I'm not hungry...... and then suddenly seemed to feel something, and shook off his hand suddenly.
They turned their heads abruptly, their eyes full of astonishment and shock. But Jiang Ningyu gently held her hand that had been thrown away, got up and got out of the way.
"You haven't eaten much in two days, and you're not hungry, hurry up, your aunt will come over for you later."
Lu Li's voice interrupted the delicate atmosphere.
Jiang Ningyu was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Xuyue's sudden voice, "Okay, let's go." ”
Lu Li was not surprised, and squeezed his eyes at her, as if to say: Look, he will eat when you come.
"Otherwise, I won't eat it." On the way to the dining room, Jiang Ningyu whispered to Lu Li, "I came too abruptly, in case Lin Xuyue is unhappy......
"I heard that you came over and gave back the gold? They don't give it, but they're not embarrassed to refuse you, so you have to eat this meal. Lu Li said.
She had nothing more to say.
In the dining room, there were four elders who had met in the afternoon, and there were some meals on the round table, and the atmosphere was a little silent. It wasn't until Lin Xuyue stepped in that he became a little more active.
"Here we go." A beautiful woman with a gentle temperament was the first to speak, noticing the woman following him, and said kindly, "Come, girl, sit beside me." ”
Jiang Ningyu didn't care about Lin Xuyue's expression, the elder spoke, and she passed over generously, "Okay, I'll sit here." Lu Li consciously sat on another vacant seat, and gave up the position between him and Jiang Ningyu to Lin Xuyue.
Lin Xuyue didn't react in any special way, until a bowl of porridge was pushed in front of him, and he took a sip, but suddenly reacted very much and turned around, lowered his head and retched.
Jiang Ningyu was startled, and hurriedly leaned over to pat him on the back, "What's wrong?" You okay? ”
"I haven't eaten well for two days, and I have normal physiological nausea." The slow explanation came from the beautiful woman just now, "You don't have to worry about him, he will be fine in a while." ”
Except for Lu Li, the other three elders all looked peaceful. Jiang Ningyu realized that she had overreacted, and seeing that he really turned around, she coughed lightly in disguise, "Oh, I haven't encountered this situation......"
