Reborn as a top-notch little wife

The Baijia Lecture Forum was being broadcast on the TV. A professor was talking with great enthusiasm, and Father Xi was listening with great interest below.

Xi's mother poked her head out of the kitchen: "We've run out of salt, Lao Xi, go buy two bags."

Dad Xi's eyes moved, and then he calmly pretended not to hear and continued to stare at the TV.

"Old Xi!" Xi's mother held up the spoon and her tone was already a sign that a storm was coming.

"I'll go." Xi Changchang stood up from the sofa.

"Qiao..." Mother Xi was a little worried.

Father Xi cast his gaze on her and looked disapproving: "For such a big child, are you still worried that she will get lost?"

Xi Changchang also laughed: "Yes, it's in the community, can I lose it?"

Only then did Xi's mother glare at Lao Xi, then turned to tell Xi Changchang: "Remember to buy two more bags."

Xi Changchang said "hmm", opened the door and walked out.

When the door was closed, I heard Mother Xi sigh: "This kid Qiao..." The rest of the words were hidden behind the door.

The smile on Shicai's face disappeared for an instant, as if it had never been there.

Leaning against the wooden door, Xi Changchang's eyes were a little moist.

Facing their daughter who suddenly ran home in a mess and refused to say a word except crying, how worried they must have been these days.

But she couldn't speak. If she did, how should she explain?

There is a small supermarket in the community. Although it is not big, it has a complete range of household items.

When paying the bill, the landlady looked surprised: "Qiao, when did you come back?"

"It's been more than a month."

"Why haven't I passed you?"

"I've been at home and never came out." After a short silence, she answered in a low voice.

"It's good to be back. Spend more time at home with your parents. They only have you as their precious daughter. They don't say it, but they can't bear to have you outside."

The familiar local accent made Xi Changchang smile.

When we left the supermarket, the sun was already a little bright and dazzling. It had not been out for a long time. Even though the sun was so damned in the summer, it still felt a little fresh.

She actually stood so stupidly in the bright summer sun at noon, squinting and looking up at the sky.

In fact, I can't see anything, I can't open my eyes, there are white lights everywhere, like snow blindness.

In the blindness of the snow, she heard someone calling her name: "Xi Changchang."

She instinctively turned around in a daze, her eyes unable to adapt for a moment. Slowly, the light slowly faded from her sight, and a figure gradually emerged.

Tall figure, long wavy hair, gentle smile, looking at Yan Xing charmingly.

Yang Xi.

It was as if all the blood in the brain had been drained out instantly, making Xi Changchang feel slightly dizzy.

As if it was still that night, she knocked on the door of her house anxiously, and the water droplets on Yang Xi's hair inside fell drop by drop on Zhong Jiamu's T-shirt on her body - it was the only clothes on her body, and she put one hand on it

Beside the door frame, he asked casually: "Looking for Zhong Jiamu?"

How miserable and embarrassed I must have been at that time.

Xi Changchang's feet moved back involuntarily, almost running away again.

But Yang Xi had already walked over, still looking as bright and bright as a star. She smiled at her, as if she had met an old friend in a foreign land: "Teacher Xi, don't you invite me to have a cold drink?"

It's so natural, so natural.

There is a cold drink shop on the corner of the street outside the community.

"Red bean smoothie." Yang Xi handed the catalog in his hand to Xi Changchang.

"I'll just give you a glass of warm water." Xi Changchang nodded to the waiter.

The waiter soon brought it over. Xi Changchang held the water glass in both hands and sipped little by little. There was an awkward silence in the small cubicle.

In the end, Xi Changchang couldn't bear it anymore and forced a smile: "Yang Xi, it's such a coincidence that I meet you here."

"Come here to meet a friend." Yang Xi fiddled with the smoothie in the cup.

"How long will you probably stay?"

"Two or three days."

"Oh, then let your friend take you to have a good time."

"This is natural."

…

In this way, there was time for each sentence to be exchanged, and both of them finished eating.

It has to be said that Xi Changchang felt a little relieved and smiled at Yang Xi: "The family is cooking, I have to go back first."

As he said that, he stood up and went to check out.

Yang Xi sat there without moving, just looking at her with a half-smile. That look made Xi Changchang a little uneasy, making her... want to run away urgently.

"You asked me a lot of questions, but you seem to have forgotten to ask the most important one." Yang Xi spoke in a soft and sarcastic tone. She leaned forward slightly, locking every bit of Xi Changchang tightly.

Expression: "Why don't you ask Zhong Jiamu how you are doing lately?"

When Xi Changchang suddenly heard the name, he could hardly suppress the trembling all over his body. He turned away hastily and said in a cold tone: "I don't want to know."

"But..." Yang Xi spoke softly, but held her trembling hand firmly: "There are some things you must know."

Yang Xi lit up a cigarette. Few women could even smoke in such a beautiful posture. There was no frivolity at all. Instead, they looked carefree and free, as if they were full of wind and rain.

Her voice was low and shallow, more like talking to herself than talking.

"Zhong Jiamu and I grew up together with Uncle Song in a bar. Zhong Jiamu lived with his aunt at that time - oh, the one who later got into trouble because of gambling. Although he was nominally Zhong Jiamu's guardian, in fact he was just Hua Zhong.

It’s just Jiamu’s money. Her home is in a mess, and Zhong Jiamu spends most of his time in bars.”

Xi Changchang was confused. She remembered the first time she and Zhong Jiamu went out on the street. Of course she wanted to pay the bill, but Zhong Jiamu sneered at her: "I never spend women's money." With a stinking look on her face, she added at the end

He said: "Especially yours."

Every time he went out to eat after that, he never let her take a penny.

Thinking about it, in the past six months, although he can't be called a squanderer, as a student, his skills are amazing.

Where did he get so much money?

Seeming to see her doubts, Yang Xi gave a brief explanation: "Zhong Jiamu rarely talks about his own affairs. I'm not sure where his money came from. Some people say it was left by his biological mother who committed suicide."

, some people say that he is actually his biological father. But this has nothing to do with us, we just know him as a person."

"Xi Changchang, do you know that I hate you very much?" She took a deep breath of cigarette and said suddenly.

"Zhong Jiamu and I grew up together. I also watched the women coming and going around him. There were so many different kinds of women, but I never noticed them because I knew he had never been serious.

I have seen them before my eyes. Although he changes one after another, I know that one day he will be mine. No matter how many people are around him, he will not love them. Zhong Jiamu has no one in his heart. He does not

I love anyone, but he likes me. Our friendship has lasted so many years, and I have a place in his heart."

"Until I saw you at the train station."

"I didn't tell anyone when I went back that day. The moment I saw Zhong Jiamu at the train station, I thought that so many years of waiting had finally come to an end. But I threw myself into his arms and when I looked up, I saw his eyes.

It's sprinkled in your direction."

"Although he pretended not to care, even though he pretended to be impatient, when he saw you, his eyes were smiling. I have heard your name a long time ago. When something happened to the Zhong family and the Mu family, I was not here.

I heard that he moved to live with you. When I saw you looking stupid, I comforted myself that maybe he was just used to it. After all, you were by his side when he lost his last relative."

"But in the taxi, when you got to the door, he wouldn't let you get out of the car. It was so unreasonable. I know Zhong Jiamu very well. He rarely values ​​anything, but once he values ​​it, he becomes stubborn. You pouted at that time

Sitting in front angrily, do you know how much I wished that the person who arrived first was me, so that I wouldn't have to see with my own eyes his stubbornness towards you? He is so unreasonable, but he just doesn't want you to leave his sight.

."

Xi Changchang's hand just clenched the glass in his hand, as if there was no other support in the world except this.

"Everything is so obvious, but I just don't want to believe it." Yang Xi smiled self-deprecatingly: "I also lied to myself that it was because Zhong Jiamu was fresh and met too many people in the bar that he was so stupid and stupid.

Silly, you were interested. But then he was too attentive to you. He went to other suburbs overnight to get illegal fireworks. Because someone injured you, he went around the city looking for people to inquire. He did so much to—

Maybe there are more, I don't know, and you won't pay attention to it. Even though you had someone else at the time, he still treated you wishfully."

"It turns out that I am willing to wait like that because I thought that Zhong Jiamu doesn't understand love. Because he doesn't understand, he doesn't love me. But as long as he starts to understand, he will find that he has me and only me by his side.

"

"But at that time, I realized that it wasn't that he didn't understand love, he just didn't love me. In fact, he understood it better than anyone else, and he loved you so well."

"I also thought about giving up, and I also tried. Fortunately, he didn't come to the bar often at that time. I rarely saw him. I think if you do this day by day, you will have good results, and I will forget one day.

Got him."

"But at this time, I don't know what happened between you, and he started to come to the store again. Although he didn't say anything, I secretly went to your downstairs. When he was away, the lights were dim.

, you have moved out."

"At first I thought, maybe it's still impossible for you, maybe you've already separated. I even thought badly that you wouldn't be able to tie him up for long after all. But then I realized that I was wrong. Even though he goes to the bar every day,

Insisting on leaving before ten o'clock, even not drinking at all - except that his people show up at the store on time every day, everything else is the same as when you were there."

"At that time, I realized that he was waiting for you. If you didn't like what he did, he still wouldn't do it. He came home on time every day and never drank, all because he was waiting for you. For when you come back

, he is still there, has never changed, and has never let you down."

"From that moment on, I realized that I had absolutely no chance."

"Because he is stupider than me."

"And that Lan Lan, I know why she lied, because she knew Zhong Jiamu wouldn't explain - he is like that, no matter what others think of him, he doesn't care at all. Lan Lan also understands this,

That’s why he lied like this. When Zhong Jiamu’s teacher called him, I was standing by. He originally just said that he couldn’t go, and he didn’t care what the school did with him, whether he got money or dropped out of school. But when he heard

He said you would go there, so he hurried over. I think as long as you are there, he will explain it and no longer just acquiesce to his indifference. "

"That day, when he came back from school, he looked the same as usual. I thought the matter had been resolved. He sat there all night, neither drinking nor talking. He just looked at the dance floor. I went over to say hello to him.

, I cried the moment I saw his eyes."

"His eyes used to be empty. He didn't notice anyone or anything. But at that time, his eyes were completely dead. At that moment, I understood what it means to have no greater sorrow than the heart.

die."

"Uncle Song has such a big nerve that he noticed something was wrong with him. At that time, we had the idea that whether he got drunk or got into a fight, even if it ruined the whole place, it would be better than him staying like a zombie.

Okay. Later, we finally succeeded. For the first time in so many years, I discovered that Zhong Jiamu's drinking was a good thing. I watched it willingly, just because I was afraid that he wouldn't drink much and that he wouldn't get drunk."

"Later he got drunk and I sent him home. He spit on my clothes. After I put him to bed, I took a shower and put on his clothes. Then I heard a knock on the door.

I saw you."

Xi Changchang paused for a moment, fluttered his eyelashes twice, and finally lowered them.

Yang Xi flicked her fingers and dropped a piece of cigarette ashes: "When I saw you standing outside the door, I knew clearly that this was an opportunity for you to reconcile. But I couldn't help it. I just wanted you to misunderstand."

"Seeing that Zhong Jiamu is in love so hard, and you just put on a face like an idiot who doesn't know anything, it's annoying to look at. You look innocent, but in fact you are completely heartless.

When I saw you running downstairs with a pale face, I felt really happy."

"But I was still wrong. With a personality like yours, you will retract into your shell after a little setback. Zhong Jiamu is the only one who is hurt."

"So, I came here and rented a house here - since I asked you to leave, I will get you back. This is what I owe Zhong Jiamu. Only if I can make up for the mistakes I made,

Only then can I get rid of the past and move forward. I have been waiting for you here for ten days just to say these words to you."

After saying that, she slowly stood up and walked out, ignoring Xi Changchang who was quietly lost in thought.

When he reached the door of the cubicle, he stopped.

"But I want you to know that at that time, I had no intention of breaking you up."

"The Zhong family is so affectionate that they didn't even leave me a chance."

"No matter what your choice is, if you still don't have the courage to believe, then there is absolutely no possibility of happiness."

When she said these words, she did not look back.

It was past two o'clock when we got home. Xi's parents were both working people. They ate in a hurry and didn't even have time for their usual lunch break. They left the house with yawns on their faces.

There was only one Xi Changchang left in the room.

When I turn on the TV, there is a Taiwanese local drama on the channel, a gentle and submissive daughter-in-law, a mother-in-law who is deliberately making things difficult for her, and the husband in the middle who is in a dilemma.

A crude but tear-jerking plot, a typical soap drama.

The air conditioner in the room silently cools down the heat, blocking out the summer heat outside the window. The pictures on the TV are crude, but also fascinating. There are washed fruits and brewed juice on the coffee table on the sofa.

The usual quiet afternoon was just like the past month or so, just like she had been for more than 20 years.

The rest seemed like a dream, as if it had never happened.

For example, Yang Xi whom I just met by chance, or Zhong Jiamu who I don't want to think of.

Zhong Jiamu...

Just these two words are like a sigh.

His eyes unconsciously fell on the mobile phone next to the sofa.

As if possessed, I picked up the phone and pressed one button after another, and heard a busy tone in my ears.

"Hey." After a few calls, Zhong Jiamu's somewhat confused voice came from inside.

Her heart seemed to be clenched suddenly, and her eyes became moist for a moment. She couldn't speak, but just listened stupidly.

"Who?"

Xi Changchang could almost imagine what Zhong Jiamu looked like. He must be frowning, with the corners of his eyes downward, and his face full of impatience. If he didn't get a response, he would hang up without hesitation.

It turns out that I miss you so much, and I have been thinking about it secretly.

The expected busy signal did not sound, and there was silence on the other side.

After a long while, his voice sounded again, a little low and hoarse, as if he was suppressing something: "Xiaoxiao...is it you?"

Xi Changchang seemed to have woken up from a dream, quickly turned off the phone, and threw the phone to the other end of the sofa, as if it was a good soldering iron.

Until the evening, I felt a little restless and in a trance. When eating dinner, I actually added a few spoons of MSG to the porridge. Xi's mother couldn't help but ask, and Xi Changchang hesitated a few words, so she could sleep at night.

I was a little sleepy as an excuse and hid in my room.

Lying on the bed, looking at the lines on the ceiling, holding the cold mobile phone in his hand, Xi Changchang burst into laughter.

She is far less important to Zhong Jiamu than Yang Xi thought.

I didn't understand it before, but I can see it clearly now.

She left without saying goodbye and cut off all contact, but the landline at her home remained unchanged. If he was really so thoughtful, why didn't he get a single call for so many days?

That's fine, the relationship between them was originally just a mistake he made when he was drunk. If they don't see each other again, they will gradually end.

There is no other involvement at all, nor should there be any other involvement.

This is good. She is using a new mobile phone at home and will change her card tomorrow. Today's obsessive impulse can be disguised as if it never happened.

Really, that’s fine too.

But, why do I think about it like this? It feels like there is a big stone lying across my chest, which is so heavy that I can't breathe. Even every breath I take is painful. But my heart feels like a piece is missing, and I feel empty and uncomfortable.

The answer was too obvious, as if she was ready to call it out. She closed her eyes, but she just didn't dare to think about it.

Last night she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She didn't close her eyes until early in the morning, but it turned out that each one was like a ball of yarn. She finally fell asleep and heard the doorbell ringing outside. She covered her ears with a pillow and tried not to hear it.

But the person outside obviously has a lot of patience.

When the doorbell rang for the twenty-second time, Xi Changchang finally got up from the bed.

I opened the door sleepily, but my eyes suddenly opened wide when I saw the person at the door.

Zhong Jiamu?!

She stood there blankly, looking at Zhong Jiamu who was dressed in dust and had red eyes outside the door.

Why are you here? How do you know my home address?…

There were too many questions to ask, but Xi Changchang just stood there stupidly, staring blankly at Zhong Jiamu who should be thousands of miles away.

"Don't talk, don't leave." Zhong Jiamu reached out and held her hand firmly, leaving six words that were confusing. He walked into the living room very generously, and then... collapsed on the sofa.

He fell into a deep sleep.

It took a long time for Xi Changchang to realize that the person in front of him, with his shoes still on and sleeping soundly on his sofa, was the real-life Zhong Jiamu.

You should be uneasy when facing him, but why are you just looking at him like this and the corners of your mouth can't help but turn up?

It was as if the haze of so many days had been swept away, and the ecstasy so full in his chest could almost annihilate him.

It's like a candy I ate when I was a child. As soon as I put it in my mouth, the sourness made my whole face wrinkle. But the astringency slowly faded away, and the sweetness inside was precious. The sourness before was also astringent.

, they are all worthy and beautiful.

Is this kind of joy that fills your chest, this unprecedented sense of certainty called...happiness?

From the corner of his eye, he saw the footprints symbolizing the arrival of happiness on the large shallow floor tiles, and Xi Changchang frowned.

Mother Xi mopped the floor before going to work every day, but someone stepped on it before it was even dry.

Xi Changchang tried to pull her hand out bit by bit, trying to destroy the evidence that she had "led the man into the house".

He struggled to pull his hand away, but couldn't pull it out. He held it tightly, as if he wanted to hold it like this forever and never let go.

Xi Changchang lowered his eyes and had no choice but to sit down on the sofa on the side.

He raised his chin with one hand and looked at the sleeping Zhong Jiamu. Only then did he realize that he had actually lost a lot of weight and his cheeks were a little slumped. When he fell asleep, his lips were slightly open and his breathing was regular and long. There was a layer of light gray under his eyes.

, as if he hadn't slept well for a long time. Thinking about it just now, his eyes were all red and sleepy, but when he looked down at her, his eyes were surprisingly bright.

Looking at it like this, Xi Changchang, who was seriously sleep deprived, finally tilted his head and declared his death in battle.

When she woke up, he was looking at her thoughtfully.

Xi Changchang just woke up, her mind was still a little confused, and she blinked and looked back.

The two of them looked at each other for a while, before they could change from chaos to affection. "Gululu..." Xi Changchang's stomach broke the silence first.

Xi Changchang suddenly felt blood rushing to his head, his face was burning, and he quickly defended: "I didn't eat breakfast this morning."

Zhong Jiamu actually nodded seriously: "I didn't eat either."

"Then... let me go make some food?"

"You?" The painful experience in the past made the Zhong family raise their eyebrows in disbelief.

Xi Changchang lowered his head in shame: "It's better that you go."

Zhong Jiamu suddenly laughed. He rarely smiled like this, and his eyebrows were raised.

"I've been thinking about the first thing I should say when I meet you, but I didn't expect the style to be so smooth."

In other words, in his mind, Xi Changchang’s style is closely related to eating.

He is so merciless, and he is also a typical Zhong Jiamu style, Xi Changchang slandered him.

As if he could see through her thoughts, Zhong Jiamu smiled and knocked her on the head and walked into the kitchen.

Oh, why is it that the reunion is not as bloody and tearful as in romantic dramas, but instead we are ridiculed and laughed at?!

Oh, why don't you think he is gentle and sweet to me, but instead he has an element of violence (knocking on the head)?!

Xi Changchang was angry and unjust.

But I still followed the kitchen and watched Zhong Jiamu open the refrigerator, look for ingredients, add oil, stir...

It was past ten o'clock and the sun was already dazzling, but there was a soft and quiet halo of light shining on him through the window paper. When he was cooking, the expression on his face was serious and focused.

And she looked at him equally seriously and intently.

He suddenly turned around and raised his eyebrows high: "You peeked at me." He said in a very proud tone.

"No!" Xi Changchang immediately turned his face and studied the gaps in the tiles on the wall next to him attentively.

Zhong Jiamu kindly suggested: "Compared to that tile, I look better."

Xi Changchang was so embarrassed that she turned around and left.

But was pulled.

"Don't leave! Since you have given me the first evil look, you must persevere and carry on." Zhong Jiamu's tone was full of ridicule, but suddenly it became deeper: "Now that you have seen it, you must see it like this for the rest of your life.

understand?"

He said this half-truthfully, but there was an unmistakable determination in his eyes.

Xi Changchang was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what he was feeling in his heart, but his eye circles were a little moist. He just nodded vigorously.

Zhong Jiamu was very satisfied. For the first time, he praised her seriously: "Well, you have very good taste."

Such a typical Wang Po almost made Xi Changchang petrified on the spot, who was in deep intoxication and emotion.

Fortunately, the quality of the cooked rice has little to do with the chef's personality. Otherwise, Xi Changchang suspected that after eating this meal, her internal organs would all turn into black.

The legendary villain.

With his stomach half full, Xi Changchang remembered a lot of questions he had and asked inarticulately: "Zhong Jiamu, when did you come? How did you know my home address? How did you get here?"

Zhong Jiamu glanced at her and replied slowly: "Yesterday afternoon, school, taking the bus."

Xi Changchang rolled his eyes: "There is only one local train in the afternoon and it will arrive at one o'clock in the afternoon. The direct train leaves at two o'clock in the morning. Zhong Jiamu, how did you get here?"

I asked him casually, but she caught me by the hair! This Zhong family has many criminal records and is facing bankruptcy of credit.

"I did come by car." Zhong Jiamu shrugged: "But the car I drove myself."

Xi Changchang's hand holding the chopsticks stopped there. It was more than two thousand miles away and more than ten hours of driving. No wonder he fell asleep as soon as he entered the door.

It was obvious that he should be reprimanded for such a dangerous behavior, but even he couldn't believe the soft voice when he spoke: "Idiot, the plane will arrive in less than three hours."

Zhong Jiamu lowered his eyes. How could he think of so many things at that time.

After receiving her call.

He asked Song Qin for the key. Although Song Qin kept saying that maybe someone else accidentally typed it wrong, he stubbornly believed that it was her. He also just wanted to see her, as soon as possible, so he rushed with the key.

When I came out, I didn't dare to get on the expressway because I was afraid of being interrogated. I bumped on the bumpy road. I kept making phone calls to avoid going the wrong way.

When he rang the doorbell, his hands were shaking, maybe it wasn't her.

When she really stood in front of him, the fatigue of this night and the longing for these months were released instantly. He felt tired and endlessly sleepy. But he was still worried in his heart, afraid that she would drive him away, afraid that she would drive him away.

He left quietly again.

He could only hold her hand and say: "Don't talk, don't leave."

When he opened his eyes, he saw her sleeping soundly on the sofa with her head tilted. Her hand was still in his. Only then did she feel a little more stable. But she began to be afraid again. She was just soft-hearted and didn't know how to refuse.

.

When she looked at him vaguely and said nothing, his heart almost stopped. If she spoke...if she spoke about Zhong Jiamu, I don't want to see you again.

So, what should he do?

But she just blushed and explained sheepishly: "I didn't have breakfast this morning."

Fortunately, she only blushed and explained sheepishly: "I didn't have breakfast this morning."

In the past ten years or so, he has not worried about gains and losses as much as he did in these few hours today.

But when I turned around and saw her leaning against the kitchen door and looking at me, I realized that everything was worth it.

If she doesn't mention the past, he pretends to forget it. If she doesn't talk about love, he won't talk about love either.

She wants to be an ostrich, and he will accompany her to whitewash the peace.

As long as she is around and you can see her when you turn around, that's fine.

He smiled and said, "I'll remember that next time."

But this next time, God knows when.

In the short term, he didn't think there was a chance they would be separated again.

But this short period of time is too short...

After clearing away the dishes, Xi Changchang gave the order to expel the guests.

Zhong Jiamu's face was disgusting: "Why do I have to leave now?"

Xi Changchang said sternly: "You are a student, go back and have a good class!"

Zhong Jiamu Liangliang reminded: "It's summer vacation now."

Xi Changchang raised his eyes and looked at the wall clock: "Even if I don't go back today, I have to find a place to live outside first."

"We'll go back later. It's not even noon yet."

He was about to leave just after seeing her? Are you kidding me?

“It’s too hot in the afternoon.”

Zhong Jiamu compromised: "Then you go with me."

It doesn't matter where you go, the key is to accompany you.

"No!" Xi Changchang's answer was so decisive that it finally made him suspicious. In addition, she kept looking at the wall clock...

There is only one truth, and the answer is ready to come out...

The doorbell rang suddenly, and Mother Xi's voice came through the wooden door: "Xiaoxiao, why don't you open the door yet?"

Xi Changchang's face turned pale and he replied: "I'm in the toilet, wait a minute."

Seeing the crying Xi Changchang, Zhong Jiamu's face darkened.

Is he so shameless?!

blind date

Finally, he pushed and pulled Zhong Jiamu into his room, and made a silent gesture before daring to open the door.

"Why so slow?" Mother Xi said as she walked in.

When Xi's mother prepared the meal, Xi's father happened to go home with his briefcase. The family ate happily while Xi Changchang stayed behind to wash the dishes.

as usual.

It's just that Xi Changchang moved extremely quickly today. After finishing his work at lightning speed, he was about to go back to his room.

"Smile." Mother Xi looked at her with a smile on her face.

Xi Changchang stopped helplessly, and Xi's mother handed over a glass of water very kindly: "Drink some water to clear your stomach after eating."

Xi Changchang was anxious to go back, took the cup and poured it into his stomach.

Then I heard Mama Xi's seemingly casual words.

"Go change your clothes and get dressed up, and go on a blind date in the evening."

"Blind date?!" Xi Changchang spat out in one breath.

Mother Xi nodded, her expression still kind: "You are not young anymore. You used to work out of town. Now that you stay at home, you should make plans for the future."

Xi Changchang glanced back and forth at Mama Xi, who had a gentle smile on her face, and Papa Xi, who was noncommittal, and then suddenly realized that they were going to clear out her inventory.

Guiltily, I glanced at the door of my room, hoping that the sound insulation effect of this wooden door was not bad.

Mother Xi said sincerely: "Today I introduce to you this person who is from your father's company. He has a good character and a good family background. The most rare thing is that he is also honest and sincere. Your father also values ​​him very much..."

Suddenly, I heard a strange noise coming from Xi Changchang's room.

Mother Xi was interrupted and glanced over: "What's the sound?"

Cold sweat broke out on Xi Changchang's head: "No, keep talking."

Mother Xi did not become suspicious and continued to brag: "I went to your dad's company last time and saw that the young man was good-looking and very polite..."

The strange sounds in Xi Changchang's room became louder and louder.

Mother Xi finally became suspicious: "Xiaoxiao, what keeps making noises in your room?"

"I'm going to take a look!" Before Xi's mother got up, Xi Changchang immediately put down the water glass and ran back.

When he opened the door, he was faced with Zhong Jiamu, who had an ugly face.

If he put on a shit face when she pushed him into the room, then his current face is so big that there are no words to describe it.

"Are you going on a blind date?" A questioning sentence and a questioning tone.

Xi Changchang winked and lowered his voice: "Keep your voice down."

Zhong Jiamu put on a face of complaining about her husband, but seeing how nervous she looked, she still lowered her voice. I wonder if it was due to deliberate suppression that she actually sounded a little sad: "You have to go behind my back and talk to me.

People are dating?”

Xi Changchang once again failed to grasp the key point and just frowned: "What's not three or four?"

Zhong Jiamu said matter-of-factly: "Except for me, everyone else is neither three nor four."

Heresies!

Xi Changchang had no time to argue, so he lowered his voice and taught him seriously: "You didn't sleep well yesterday. Get some sleep later and don't make any weird noises again!" Finally, he gave him a warning look and went out.

And closed the door.

I could vaguely hear her explaining outside: "Haha, something on the table fell to the floor."

Zhong Jiamu stood there, seriously thinking about the possibility that he would go out, shake hands with Xi's father, talk to Xi's mother, and then pack Xi Changchang away.

Thinking of the little ostrich's reaction, he still shook his head.

Don't push her too hard.

This was not easy anymore. She recognized him and accepted him. All that was left was to wait.

He hates waiting, but when he knows that there will be a desired result at the end, waiting does not seem so difficult.

After closing the door, I looked back at the room and saw the novels scattered on the bed, the round creamy yellow lemon scented box on the table, and the messy table.

A long-lost feeling of familiarity.

He suddenly relaxed, and the tense nerves for so many days were completely relaxed. After a night of driving and bumpy driving with concentration, he only slept for a while today, and now the fatigue and sleepiness came to him.

Think about someone's one-sided personality, now that you recognize him, you will never go on a blind date.

He fell on the bed, with such thoughts in his mind, and fell into sleep.

When he woke up and saw the dark night outside and the empty room, he realized that he might be too confident.

The hands of the wall clock had already pointed to eight o'clock, and the kitchen was still empty with no sign of use.

The air conditioner in the living room was turned off, and there was no warmth at the vents. It had obviously not been running for a long time.

The handbag that Xi Changchang originally placed on the sofa was nowhere to be found.

All the evidence points to one fact... someone actually dared to go out on a blind date.

It was past nine o'clock when Xi Changchang and his family came back. When they opened the door and turned on the light, Xi's mother frowned: "Why does it smell like cigarettes?"

Xi Changchang was frightened. He tried his best to be a child herding sheep and took two strong breaths: "No, why didn't I smell it?"

Fortunately, Mother Xi was attracted by something else: "Xiaoxiao, what do you think of Xiao Lin today? I think he has a good impression of you. Have you left each other's mobile phone numbers?"

Xi Changchang shouted that he couldn't bear it, hesitated for a few words and then returned to the room.

When he opened the door, he realized that the whole room was filled with smoke, and Zhong Jiamu was leaning there, puffing away at his cigarette.

Xi Changchang has seen him several times and tried to persuade him to no avail, but he has never seen him smoke so fiercely, leaving a thick layer of soot on the ground.

She walked over and lowered her voice: "Did you just go to the living room?"

Zhong Jiamu's eyebrows were a little gloomy, but he just said "hmm" indifferently.

I remember that when Xi's father was ordered to quit smoking, even if he took a few puffs secretly overnight, Xi's mother could still smell it. Now Zhong Jiamu actually pretended to be Xi's mother's disapproval and openly ran to the living room. Xi Changchang's face fell.

: "I will be killed by you!"

Zhong Jiamu put out his cigarette and didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he whispered: "I saw it all."

"Huh?" There is no beginning or end, what do you see?

Zhong Jiamu crumpled the cigarette in his hand: "I saw that man sending you back."

"Oh." Xi Changchang responded, and then fell silent.

She came back in such a mess. In the eyes of her parents, for a daughter to do such a thing, she must be emotionally frustrated. Therefore, she spent a lot of effort to arrange today's blind date. She had to go, in order to reassure them.

But now I feel a little guilty and want to explain, but feel a little strange.
