Chapter 28: I Sleep Here, You Sleep There
"I know, don't worry." Mrs. Jing nodded, her tone became gentle, and she didn't forget to tease at the end, "Look at you, I feel sorry for you." β
"Grandma." She called out with some embarrassment.
Just when she didn't know what to say next, in the parking lot downstairs, Shi Qian had already driven over.
"Jing Ye." He called out and got out of the car with the cute red panda doll.
Jing Xiao didn't mean to get out of the car, put away his phone, glanced at him indifferently, and felt that the thing in his hand was fluffy, and it looked cuter than in the photo.
"By the way, Master Jing, Madame's call record has been obtained, and I have sent it to your mailbox." When handing the doll to him, Shi Qian reported.
"I've seen it." Jing Xiao took the red panda and looked at it, and asked, "There are two calls in the call record, both of which were made to her by the other party, and the call lasted for a long time, have you found out who made the call?" β
Shi Qian shook his head and replied truthfully: "That number, it's not a real-name system, I'm still asking people to check it, there should be news soon, but what is certain is that it was from Danzhou." β
"Danzhou?" Hearing this, his eyebrows frowned deeper, and even the hand holding the red panda couldn't help but increase his strength.
Danzhou is Tang Duyi's hometown, if the call came from there, it shouldn't be Jing Xunhua.
Could it be some kind of relative of the Tang family?
But a few months ago, he asked people to go to Danzhou to investigate, since Grandma Tang died, Tang Duyi came to Haicheng to study, Danzhou, there are no relatives for her?
As soon as he thought of this, his heart became even more annoyed, and after a moment of silence, he told again, "Find out as soon as possible, I must know who that person is." β
That person called Tang Duyi and threatened her, he had to figure out this matter after all.
"Understood." Shi Qian responded respectfully, and added, "I'll hurry up." β
Jing Xiao bowed slightly, then got out of the car and carried the red panda in his hand into the elevator.
After seeing him leave, Shi Qian couldn't help laughing, he felt as if he smelled a breath of extreme spoiling.
Upstairs in the living room, Tang Duyi was sitting at the dining table chatting with Mrs. Jing, and Aunt Man was cooking in the kitchen, and the scene was harmonious.
Just as they were talking and laughing, the door opened, and Jing Xiao came in with the red panda doll with the beautiful packaging.
The moment she saw him, Tang Duyi was really a little shocked, not to mention her, even the old lady Jing on the side was dumbfounded, she had never seen her baby grandson like this.
Maybe it's because Jing Xiao looks handsome and handsome, and his temperament is cold and domineering, so when he holds such a naΓ―ve doll, it's really a little abrupt.
"Take it, you want it." He stood in the doorway, his tone was very calm, and there was no emotion on his face.
Tang Duyi was stunned for half a second, and quickly stepped forward to take the red panda doll, the corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow arc, "Thank you." β
Jing Xiao raised his eyebrows, answered softly, didn't say much, changed his shoes and entered the house.
Looking at their strange atmosphere at the moment, Mrs. Jing couldn't bear to bother for a while.
If it weren't for Aunt Man coming out with the dishes, she would still want to continue watching this kind of picture.
"Gardenia, you go and put this down, it's time to eat."
Hearing this, Tang Duyi, who was standing in place, walked to the bedroom with the red panda in his arms.
"Ah Xiao, what are you ......" Mrs. Jing looked at her grandson suspiciously, with a little inquiry, a little gossip, and a little joy in her eyes.
"She wants it." He replied indifferently, glanced at the empty bowl on the table, and asked, "She drank the ginger tea?" β
Hearing the concern in his words, Mrs. Jing nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, I've drunk a big bowl honestly." β
After a while, they sat down at the table for dinner.
During the meal, Jing Xiao quietly observed Tang Duyi's reaction, as if she wanted to observe from her expression the purpose of buying this doll.
It's a pity that he didn't see anything, but he just noticed that Tang Duyi's appetite didn't seem to be very good, and when he was eating, he looked absent-minded.
"What's wrong? Not to your liking tonight? He frowned and asked in a low voice.
As soon as he heard this, Tang Duyi suddenly came back to his senses, looked at him with a panicked face, and hurriedly shook his head, "No, no." β
It's not that the dish is unappetizing, it's that when she put the doll back to the room, she received a text message from Tang Hong.
He will go to Haicheng tomorrow morning, and ask her to meet at noon, and ask her to give him the money if she doesn't take the house book, and if she dares not to go, he will go to the school to find her, so that she can't even pass the final exam.
With such a bad thing, how could she still be in the mood to eat?
Mrs. Jing knew that she had something in her heart, but she didn't ask much, she just thought that she was thinking of her grandmother, so she gave Jing Xiao a look and asked him not to ask more.
Then, they tacitly changed the topic and chatted about the day.
After the meal, Mrs. Jing asked Jing Xiao to take her back to the room under the pretext that Tang Duyi was cold today and should rest early.
Knowing Grandma's intentions, the two of them glanced at each other, then didn't say anything and went straight back to the bedroom.
As soon as the door was closed, Jing Xiao saw the doll placed on the bed, frowned and asked, "Are you going to sleep with it at night?" β
"Hmm." Tang Duyi nodded his head and asked, "Is it okay?" β
Jing Xiao pondered for a few seconds, then bowed slightly, "Yes." β
They live in the same room now, and if she wants to sleep with it in her arms and find some security, he will have no problem.
It's just that why does he always feel that she wants to hold this thing to guard against him?
Tang Duyi didn't see the strange look on his face, and smiled sweetly at him, "Jingxiao, thank you." β
Since the cold has not yet recovered, her voice is a little hoarse, but it is extremely soft and sweet.
Facing her thanks again and again, Jing Xiao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, "You don't have to thank me for everything, you will make me feel that there is a lot of separation between us." β
Sensing that he was a little displeased, Tang Duyi didn't continue the topic, "I'll go wash up first." β
After the words fell, she turned around and went directly to the bathroom.
Jing Xiao watched her back disappear, but instead of going out like last night, she walked to the window.
Looking at the city in the rainstorm, he narrowed his dark and gloomy eyes, and became more and more curious about the person who called from Danzhou.
Not long after, Tang Duyi came out of the bathroom.
When she saw the person standing by the window, she was stunned for a moment.
Jing Xiao turned around after hearing the movement, his eyes fell on her, his Adam's apple rolled down, and his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.
She was wearing that cartoon pajamas again, the top two buttons were not buttoned, revealing delicate collarbones and large patches of fair skin.
Tang Duyi noticed his gaze, reached out to fasten the button on his collar, and said, "It's not early, you should wash up and rest early." β
"Okay." He answered, didn't dare to look more, and hurried to the bathroom.
When taking a bath, his mind always kept coming up with Tang Duyi's face and her beautiful body.
He suddenly found that when he thought of her, his body became extremely hot and unbearable.
This reaction shocked him.
By the time he came out of the shower, Tang Duyi was already lying on the bed, and she was on her side, holding the doll in her arms.
"You sleep in bed tonight, I'll sleep here, you sleep there." She said in a light tone, but she was extremely nervous.
Jing Xiao glanced at the half of the bed she left for herself, pursed her thin lips slightly, and did not say a word.
Now he realized that she was going to buy dolls in the rain for this.
Sure enough, in order to protect herself, she really took great pains.
Seeing that he stood in place for a long time and did not move, Tang Duyi raised his head slightly, put his cheek on the red panda's belly, looked at him, and explained: "I just think that we will have to live together for a few days after that, and it will not be good if you keep sleeping on the sofa." β
"Hmm." Jing Xiao answered, then walked to the bed, reached out and lifted the thin quilt and lay on the bed.
Now that there is a red panda doll between them, it is not too embarrassing.
"Gardenia ......" After a long time, he suddenly shouted.
"Huh?"
Jing Xiao turned to the side, looked straight at her with his eyes, and said slowly: "If you need my help with anything else, you can also tell me." β
He wanted to help her solve the problem, but only if she took the initiative to tell him.
Tang Duyi was stunned for a moment, a little surprised in his heart, and buried his cheeks in the doll a little more.
"My current trouble is the exam, and you can't help with this." She replied in a pretended relaxed manner, her voice a little muffled.
She still didn't plan to tell him about Tang Hong, after all, this matter was her family matter, and she could handle it herself.
A touch of disappointment flashed in Jing Xiao's eyes, he tried many times, but she avoided it many times, this sense of powerlessness was really fatal.
However, since she didn't want to say it, let's do it first.
"Go to bed early, good night." After saying this, he rolled over and turned his back to her.
Tang Duyi looked at his broad and straight back, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Good night." β
After saying that, she also turned over and deliberately kept a distance from him.
Now they are back to back, each taking up a third of the bed, and the remaining third is reserved for the red panda doll lying in the middle.
The rain outside the window had not stopped, hitting the window with a crackling sound.
Jing Xiao closed his eyes, and his ears were full of Tang Duyi's shredded breathing, which made him feel no sleep, and even his heart was a little confused.
He struggled to calm his chaotic heartbeat and turned his head slightly to look at her.
Tang Duyi leaned sideways and curled himself up into a small ball, as if he didn't have any sense of security, which made him feel distressed.
It's just that he can't reach out to hug her now, so he can only endure the restlessness and impulsiveness in his heart and force himself to sleep.
