Chapter 21: Do You Want Me to Stay?
"Grandma, it's not good." Tang Duyi frowned in embarrassment, embarrassed and wanted to find a crack to get into.
"I think it'...... too"
Jing Xiao spoke at the right time, but before he could finish speaking, he was stopped.
"Don't think so." Old Madam Jing frowned, glared at him, and then looked at Tang Duyi, the corners of her mouth immediately hooked up a smile, and said, "Gardenia, grandma is rare to live here with you once, you just listen to grandma." ”
"But...... I ......" She was so anxious that she couldn't even speak, and couldn't help coughing, and her little face was flushed.
Seeing this, Jing Xiao hurriedly reached out and patted her on the back, and then asked Aunt Man to pour a glass of warm water.
His eyes were dark and deep, as vast and vast as the night sky, with a deep concern and worry in them, and Tang Duyi's heart trembled slightly, and he lost his mind for a moment.
Seeing their eyes meet, Mrs. Jing hurriedly said, "Ah Xiao, it's not too early, you help Gardenia go back to the room to rest, I, the old woman, have to go back to the room to rest." ”
As soon as the words fell, she got up and went straight to Tang Duyi's bedroom, and when she left, she didn't forget to tell the kitchen, "Xiao Man, you should go back to the room early to rest." ”
"Got it, old lady." Aunt Man answered, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the old lady still knows how to play.
After hearing the sound of the door being closed, Tang Duyi's whole person was not good.
Although they all knew that grandma did it on purpose, they couldn't really get angry with this old lady.
"What now?" Tang Duyi lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes covered the emotions under her eyes, and her tone was a little sullen.
Jing Xiao was also helpless, sighed, and said, "Let's go back to the room first." ”
"Huh?" She looked up in surprise and looked at his side face, "Your room?" ”
"Or else?" He asked rhetorically, and then said, "If you can get grandma to open the door for you, then go back to your room." ”
She bit her lip and didn't speak, grandma obviously did it on purpose tonight, how could she open the door for her.
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Jing Xiao didn't say anything, and walked directly towards her bedroom with steady steps.
There was no way, Tang Duyi had to follow, but when she got to the door, she stopped again and didn't go in for a long time.
Jing Xiao knew what she was thinking in her heart, and she also knew what she was worried about, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Are you planning to stand there for the night?" If you really want to stand at the door for the night, I'm afraid I'm going to be driven downstairs by my grandmother to stand in the cold wind for the night. ”
Hearing this, she frowned, her little hands clutched the corners of her clothes uneasily, and she looked at him with some embarrassment, "It's better for me to ......."
"It's getting late." Jing Xiao interrupted her lightly, walked to the door, took her wrist, pulled her into the house, and then closed the door.
After entering the house, Tang Duyi was still standing by the door, and her little heart was beating fast, as if she was about to pop out.
Seeing that she looked extremely nervous, Jing Xiao let go of her hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." ”
At the moment, she hasn't graduated from college yet, so a lot of things will be talked about later.
Although he said so, Tang Duyi still didn't have a score in his heart, after all, Jing Xiao, this person, these two days have been strange, not the same as before.
"You can rest in my room tonight, and I'll go to the study later."
Hearing him say this, Tang Duyi was worried: "Do you still have to go to work?" You didn't sleep last night, so you might as well have a good night's rest tonight. ”
Jing Xiao put his hands around his chest, his posture was a little lazy, and asked casually, "Do you want me to stay?" ”
Hearing this, Tang Duyi's cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and he hurriedly denied it, "I didn't." ”
She didn't mean that, why did this person talk nonsense?
Seeing that she was shy, Jing Xiao couldn't help but chuckle twice, and stopped teasing her, "Okay, you hurry up and wash up and rest, you're just a little better, if it's serious again, grandma is afraid that she won't leave tomorrow night." ”
"Oh." She whispered in response, but never moved.
As a result, the two of them froze in place.
Jing Xiao waited patiently for a while, then raised his sword eyebrows and smiled in a low voice, "I'll go to the study to make a call first." ”
knew that he was deliberately looking for an excuse to go out, so Tang Duyi just nodded knowingly and didn't say much.
"I'll ask Aunt Man to bring you pajamas in a while, and you can go take a shower." When he got to the door, he said one more thing.
When the words fell, he opened the door and went out.
It wasn't until he was the only one left in the room that Tang Duyi drooped his shoulders and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After her tense body relaxed, she smelled a faint mint smell, which was slowly entering her nastrils.
She moved her steps little by little, observing Jingxiao's room, when she first moved here, she only glanced at it, and then signed an agreement, and she never stepped into this place again.
At this time, she noticed that the decoration style here is cold, the layout is extremely simple, and there are almost no ornaments in the house, which makes people feel cold.
The sheets were dark gray, and there was a smell of Jingxiao wafting on them.
Tang Duyi pursed her lips, didn't look at it more, didn't think about it anymore, turned around and went into the bathroom.
When she began to wash, Mrs. Jing in the next room was sitting on the edge of her bed, holding a picture frame in her hand.
That's what Tang Duyi has been putting at the head of the bed, and on it is a photo of her and her grandmother.
"You, don't worry, I won't let people bully Gardenia." Mrs. Jing looked at the photo, her eyes gradually became hot, her heart was full of sourness, she choked her voice, and continued to mumble to herself, "Tell me about you, you have worked hard for most of your life, and you can finally enjoy happiness, why are you willing to leave." ”
After speaking, she picked up the photo frame, held the photo close to her chest, and slowly closed her eyes, as if recalling their beginnings.
If it weren't for a knock on the door, she would have been immersed in her memories and would not want to come back to her senses for a long time.
"Old lady." Aunt Man's voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this, Mrs. Jing opened her eyes, wiped away the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes, and calmed down before asking, "What's wrong?" ”
"Mr. Jing asked me to get a pajama for Gardenia, can you open the door?" Aunt Man answered honestly.
She remembered their advice, so she changed her title to Jing Xiao from Young Master to Sir.
"Oh." Mrs. Jing put down the photo frame, slowly got up and went to open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, Aunt Man immediately looked embarrassed and called respectfully, "Old lady." ”
Before she could react, Jing Xiao walked out from the side.
"Stinky boy, scare me." Old Madam Jing glared at him, then looked at Aunt Man on the side, and ordered, "You go and get clothes for Gardenia." ”
"Okay." Aunt Man answered, and then entered the house.
Jing Xiao noticed that her grandmother's eyes were red, so she asked with some concern, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Ever cried? ”
"It's okay, I miss my old girlfriend." With that, she turned and went into the house.
Jing Xiao immediately followed, didn't ask more, but said something else in a deep voice, "Grandma, I have no problem with you staying overnight, but your arrangement is really not good." ”
She didn't rush to speak, but looked at Aunt Man not far away and motioned for her to go out first.
Aunt Man bowed slightly, took a pair of Tang Duyi's pajamas and went out, and closed the door for them.
When only the two of them were left in the house, Mrs. Jing spoke up and asked, "What's wrong with my arrangement?" You're both married, and living together is a matter of course. ”
"We're married, but we're not at the point where we're going to live together." He immediately retorted, paused and said, "Grandma, you promised me to give me some time, besides, she hasn't graduated yet." ”
Old Madam Jing wrinkled her eyebrows, and said unjustly: "I just let you live in one room, and I didn't let you do anything to her." ”
"Grandma'......" faced her unreasonableness, Jing Xiao was a little helpless.
"I still say the same thing, Gardenia will never choose to marry you because of money." Mrs. Jing had a straight face, and her tone was firm and arrogant.
Hearing this, Jing Xiao suddenly fell silent, and after this period of getting along, he could see it more or less.
Tang Duyi never cared about his money, not even him as a person, as she said, she just needed a reason to reassure her mother, and she also needed a free place to live, nothing more.
But even so, when facing this relationship, he still has some concerns, and it still takes some time.
Seeing that his attitude seemed to have changed, Mrs. Jing continued to persuade: "Ah Xiao, I know that you are a good boy, but so is Gardenia, since you have married her, then just like a man, take the initiative and cultivate a good relationship with her, okay?" ”
Jing Xiao lowered his eyes, wiped away the gloom in his eyes, and after muttering for a while, he replied, "I'll try my best." ”
"I'm sure you can do it." Old Madam Jing smiled with relief and patted him on the shoulder, "I can see that you don't have that kind of thought about Gardenia. ”
"Grandma, I'm afraid you're really wrong about this." He denied it without thinking about it, "At her age, it's very suitable to be my sister." ”
"You don't have to pretend to be confused." Old Madam Jing snorted lightly and said disapprehantly, "Gardenia is lively and cute, which is most suitable for your cold iceberg." ”
"Grandma'......"
"Okay, I'm sleepy, I'm going to rest, you can go out." She waved her hand and impatiently ordered the eviction.
Seeing this, Jing Xiao had to exit the room, and when he arrived at the door, he didn't forget to mutter, "Your play tonight is too obvious." ”
After he went out, Mrs. Jing hooked her lips and smiled, and said disdainfully: "What do you stinky boy know, you will thank me well in the future." ”
After saying that, she looked at the picture on the bedside again, and muttered, "You have to bless them well, otherwise, my old woman's hard work will be in vain." ”
Grandma Tang in the photo smiled kindly and gently, and she looked at it for a while before she withdrew her gaze.
