My lips were dry, and I lost my soul as I looked at the man in front of me, and every word that came out of his mouth turned into cannon fire. All my limbs were filled with a desperate pain like pins and needles. There seemed to be a fire on the top of his head, and the burning sensation from top to bottom instantly scorched his whole body. I was out of my control, I was convulsive, I couldn't breathe at all. It's my body, but I don't know where it provoked it, so that it reacted so violently.

Holding on to my throat, I threw myself out of the house, rushed to the large tank of water, violently lifted the wooden lid on the top of the tank, and scooped the water over my head and drenched it down fiercely, I repeated it several times...... It wasn't until Ritsu Zhaochuan pulled me out of the water tank that the last thing I saw was a panic in his panic and his eyes.

If his worries weren't fake, then what did he want?

What the hell do you want!

Finally......

When consciousness completely returned, I was lying on the big bed in my parents' room when I heard Aunt Ji walking back and forth. She was outside the room, and her voice was very angry: "Aren't you watching in front of her, how can you let her mess around!" I quietly raised my eyes and saw Lu Zhaochuan hanging his head, obediently listening to the reprimand.

"You're both adults, why are you still like children. If there is any problem, don't live here, go directly to my house! "Although she was annoyed, Aunt Ji still arranged us properly before leaving.

After Aunt Ji left, Lu Zhaochuan walked lightly to my bed and asked extremely burdensomely, "Mu Xuezhou, are you better?" ”

This tone is a 180-degree turn compared to the previous one!

My head still hurts a little, but my breath has stabilized.

I just don't want to talk to him.

Lu Zhaochuan stood at the head of the bed, and showed kindness to himself: "I can ...... No, if you need time to adjust, we can stay in Licheng for a few more days, how about three days – that's just the right amount of time! Three days later, we returned to Beijing together...... bar. ”

He was like a warden, merciful and gave me a parole pass, and I was only allowed to bow my head in thanksgiving.

I didn't appreciate it, and issued an eviction order in an unkind tone: "Can you go out?" I'm going to sleep. ”

"Okay." He replied neatly, simply turned around, and before taking the door, I heard him ask again outside the door, "Mu Selangor, what do you want to eat for dinner?" ”

Eat up!

I pulled a pillow over my head, trying to keep the annoying noise out of my mind.

After a full sleep, I was hungry.

Yes, Ritsu Zhaochuan didn't make a sound, I was hungry first. So, out of nowhere, I prepared dinner.

The loofahs in the courtyard grew very well, and I picked the plump and ageless loofahs. Scrape off the dark green winged edges with a sharpener, push off the coarse skin, wash and cut into thin slices. Put a little oil in a hot pan, stir-fry briefly, add water, and cook over high heat to make soup. The seasonal loofah soup is sweet and delicious.

The dried eggplant sent by Aunt Ji was very good to eat at night. Eggplants cut into strips and dried can be stored for a long time, washed and dished when eating, steamed in water, and then marinated in sauce and spicy to make it delicious.

Blanch the prawns.

I quickly made three dishes and steamed rice.

Lu Zhaochuan silently ate several bowls of rice, and only after the meal did he take out his mobile phone from his pocket and stuffed it in my hand: "Don't lose it again." ”

I hung my head, it was my phone that I left behind.

When he turned on the screen, he found that there were dozens of missed calls, all from him.

Before it was dark, I basketed the loofahs I picked and prepared to give them to my neighbors.

When Lu Zhaochuan saw me going out with a basket, as if he was afraid that I would run away, he followed me step by step. At first he lagged behind me, and as soon as I turned into the alley, he hurried after me and walked alongside me.

Coward!

I obviously went to deliver a loofah, but when I came back, the basket was not empty. After the neighbor accepted the loofah, he forbade me to walk empty-handed, and gave me all kinds of things in return. At the moment, my basket contains two horseshoe-shaped unpeeled green shoots, a handful of fresh winter flowers, and a handful of dried leaves.

"I see that your basket is heavier than when you go out......" Ritsu Zhaochuan said, glancing at my basket.

"You are very envious, this warm hometown."

Lu Zhaochuan didn't answer, he curled his lips, grabbed the dried leaves and asked, "What is this, it's almost dried into powder, so let's throw it away." ”

Seeing that he was about to throw away my things, I hurriedly snatched them back and explained, "This is a fig leaf, put a few slices in the soup to remove the smell." ”

With that, I cherished the leaves back in the basket.

Ritsu Zhaochuan looked at me silently with a serious expression.

"See what?"

"Nothing." He withdrew his gaze, took the basket from my hand, and walked past me.

"Hey, the third big mahogany door is Uncle Ji's house." I reminded loudly behind him.

As soon as we walked to the door of Uncle Ji's house, we saw Uncle Ji's five-year-old son, Ji Manzheng, fighting with an older child. The eldest child was taller than Ji Man, and Ji Man was like a pocket being pulled around by the big child......

I hurriedly ran over to separate them: "No fighting!" ”

"Sister, we're not fighting, I'm competing." Ji Man looked up at his fleshy face, but said in a childish voice.

Ritsu Zhaochuan pulled me back: "Don't interfere. ”

Seeing that the two children had a serious face, they were not evil.

I was confused and stepped back a little, and as soon as I stepped back, the two of them immediately "hugged" together.

Ji Man is a little chubby, empty of flesh, but completely ineffective, every time he attacks, he is easily defused by the big kids, tripping again and again, and falling to the ground again and again. Strangely, he is like a small motor filled with gas, clattering and tirelessly launching attack after attack. I don't know how many times he tried, and suddenly he used the right strength to knock the big kid down for the first time! The little fat dun was stunned, and then cheered.

Aunt Ji came out of the house when she heard the sound, and exclaimed when she saw this: "Oh, what are these two broken children doing again, Ji Man, you little villain, you have new clothes on you!" Hearing the adult's reprimand, the two children woke up suddenly, wittily ran away, and ran away without a trace in an instant.

When Aunt Ji saw us, she immediately restrained her anger and warmly beckoned us into the house, and I woke up like a dream.

Spread out your palms, and the inside was full of sweat.

Although I watched the "competition" between two children, my heart was already full of turmoil.

Even a five-year-old child knows better than I do. Can't I even learn?

Well, when the wind comes, I will meet the wind. When the rain comes, I will welcome it.

I don't want to cower and stand still.

Isn't it just going back to Beijing, who is afraid of whom!

Lu Zhaochuan glanced at me and said leisurely: "Well, I forgot to tell you, I have a train ticket for the day after tomorrow." ”

“……”

I looked back at Ritsu Zhaochuan's eyes, and I was speechless for a moment.

I have to admit that this man knows me very well.

I looked at him very perfunctorily, and I didn't seek to understand him. And he always had the right insight into my thoughts. Without words, he seemed to be able to know my thoughts just by looking at my expressions, so as to achieve the purpose of communication. This is almost "heart-to-heart" that can directly probe the "tacit understanding" in my heart...... Is it a blessing or a misfortune for me?

I no longer hesitated and boarded the train to Beijing again.

I didn't expect that the first person I saw when I returned to Beijing was Lu Zhenyu.

I don't know where she got my phone number and took the initiative to call me.

My chest tightened when she gave her name, and I felt nervous when she said timidly that she wanted to see me.

Nervous and urgent.

Before the train arrived in Beijing, we had already made an appointment to meet at a chain coffee shop outside the train station.

After getting off the train, I unconsciously dragged my luggage and ran wildly, and I didn't care if Ritsu Zhaochuan was keeping up.

Standing in front of the café I had agreed upon, I paused. I found that I had never been as confused about the interview as I am today.

"Mu Xuezhou, I'll wait for you outside." Ritsu Zhaochuan retreated.

After Ritsu Zhaochuan walked away, I took a deep breath and slammed the door in.

At first sight, I found her. She was looking out with her cheeks on her cheeks, and the moment I pushed the door open, she turned around, and we met eyes.

A voice in my heart sounded repeatedly: This, is my sister?

"This orange grapefruit is a specialty of my hometown, you can taste it, it's very sweet." We found a more secluded seat and sat facing each other, but we looked at each other without saying a word, and we didn't know how to speak. In order to alleviate the embarrassment, I took out Licheng specialties from my bag and gave them to her.

"Old ......," she muttered, and immediately took the orange grapefruit and thanked her obediently, "Thank you." ”

"I saw your news online. Know that you are now a cutting-edge fashion designer. "I was absolutely impressed.

On the train back, I used my phone to search for her name and read all the news and interviews about her. In the scattered information, I summed up her resume.

How did she get in, when did she win the award, and how did she become famous......

How hard it has been, but now it's all right, she has become famous everywhere.

An interview also briefly mentioned her past - her parents divorced when she was a child, she lived in Hangzhou with her mother, at the age of sixteen, her mother died unexpectedly, she reunited with her sister in Beijing, her sister gave her a Barbie doll, she cherished it very much, so she changed the way to make clothes for the doll to wear, everyone said that her clothes were good, you can try to make them for adults. In this way, I slowly embarked on the road of fashion design......

"My parents are divorced, and my relatives are separated. The mother has passed away. ”

The moment I read those words, my eyes burned and my chest tightened with pain.

Her past.

It's also my past......

On the other side, she had already peeled off the orange grapefruit, removed the white tendons, and put the orange petals in the entrance. The juice of orange grapefruit is full and rich, and the taste is like grapefruit, but there is no sour taste of yuzu. I'm looking forward to her reaction.

She looked at me and smiled.

"It's so sweet!"

"Yes, you have to look at the skin of the orange pomelo, the skin looks bright and juicy, and the darker the color, the sweeter the color!" I couldn't help but start popularizing science.

She listened quietly to me, her eyes swirling.

I was horrified: "Did I say something wrong?" ”

"When you were sixteen years old, when you came to pick me up, you brought me something to eat and looked forward to my reaction. His expression was exactly the same then as it is now. ”

My breath faltered, and my heart suddenly shook and swayed.

It's my sister in front of me......
