Reborn as a top-notch little wife

Looking at the dark and deserted alley nearly thirty meters in front of her, Xi Changchang wanted to cry but had no tears.

The most terrifying thing is of course the long dark alley in front of the stop sign to this community, a narrow and dark space of about thirty meters, with only two dim and old lamps swaying in the wind.

Xi Changchang pulled the windbreaker on her body, her hair stood on end as she looked at the deserted alley in front of her with her nose twitching.

Why today in the 21st century, there are still such lanes and alleys full of the atmosphere of old Shanghai? And they are exactly on the way to walk back to Zhong Jiamu's villa.

Xi Changchang hesitated again and again, and finally took the first step in revolution.

He didn't glance around or squint, and kept his head down and rushed forward. Xi Changchang kept his head down and walked forward faster and faster, almost trotting all the way.

Halfway through the journey, Xi Changchang had just calmed down a little when he suddenly saw a vague red light flashing on the other side of the alley out of the corner of his eye, and it disappeared briefly.

Xi Changchang stood upright with hair all over his body and sang the national anthem, feeling that his teeth were chattering. His whole body was stiff, but he could not move his feet.

After standing quietly for a long time, there was no movement at all. Could it be that he was dazzled? Xi Changchang took a breath.

She tried to move forward, but the lamp in the corridor tugged pitifully and swayed, which also allowed her to see clearly a blurry black figure in the corner over there.

Headlines on social media, old corpses in mountain villages, all came to mind. Her face turned pale, and her body trembled like a fallen leaf in the wind.

A person slowly walked out of the darkness, raising his hands: "Don't be afraid, it's me, Zhong Jiamu." The voice became louder and louder, and he walked out step by step.

Under the dim light, his face was generally hidden in the dark, but you could still see the man's delicate outline. It was indeed Zhong Jiamu.

Sure enough, good intentions paid off, and she almost burst into tears with excitement.

The wind was strong at night, and it hurt people's faces. Xi Changchang rubbed his hands: "Why are you here so late?" She didn't dare to expect that this big ice cube came to find her. After all, Zhong Jiamu was always cold and cold.

, not to mention he didn’t know he was working the night shift.

Sure enough, Zhong Jiamu turned his face and said, "I'll come down to buy some midnight snacks." What was strange was that Zhong Jiamu's tone was a little unnatural.

Xi Changchang said oh, feeling that he was very lucky. But he glanced at Zhong Jiamu, who was empty-handed: "Where are the things you bought?"

Zhong Jiamu was stunned for a moment, turned around and walked forward: "Throw it away."

Throw it away? Xi Changchang was petrified over there, looking at Zhong Jiamu's back. He was thinking about giving this man a lesson on hoeing in the afternoon.

Wait, the back view?! A cold wind blew by, and she realized that Zhong Jiamu had already walked a long way. She hurriedly shouted: "Wait for me!"

Zhong Jiamu didn't say a word, but his steps slowed down. Xi Changchang walked side by side with him through the alley, still in shock: "It's a good thing I met you today. You don't know that I always pass by here these few nights.

I feel like someone is following me." He turned around and looked at the alley, which looked even darker from a distance, with a very scared tone: "Every time I get to the alley, I feel like someone is following me. If I am fast, he is also fast, if I am slow, he is also slow.

"

Zhong Jiamu was very disdainful: "Is there anyone else who wants to rob you?"

"It would be fine if it was a human being. At most, it would be a waste of money and disaster." She lowered her voice mysteriously: "I'm afraid it's just some dirty things." After saying this, she felt scared, and she subconsciously got closer to Zhong Jiamu.

point.

Zhong Jiamu's footsteps suddenly stopped, his face turned pale, and then he quickened his pace.

Xi Changchang trotted to keep up, panting from exhaustion: "Zhong Jiamu, walk...walk slowly."

Zhong Jiamu turned a deaf ear and walked faster and faster.

Until he was almost home, he looked at Zhong Jiamu biting his lip and taking out the key to open the door.

Xi Changchang realized later that the Zhong family was having trouble.

After thinking over and over what I said and did just now, I guess I didn't offend him.

Xi Changchang took another peek at Zhong Jiamu who was pushing the door open, and secretly put two labels on his face.

Moody and inexplicable.

After closing the door, the two of them changed their shoes and turned around to see a large sticky note on the bathroom door.

"Working the night shift and walking in the night alleys, it's so scary!!!" Three big exclamation points were followed by a crying face full of tears.

I posted this a few days ago to vent my anger. I've seen it a few times and didn't think much of it. But now when I look at it with my brother-in-law, I feel it's too childish. Xi Changchang's face turned red,

I just felt that I was disgraced. I peeked at Zhong Jiamu, and for some reason there was a slight blush on his face.

Even though it was an accidental encounter, Xi Changchang was still moved by the feeling of surviving the disaster. Remembering that Zhong Jiamu had gone to buy supper and now came back empty-handed, he hurriedly asked: "Zhong Jiamu, how about I cook you something to eat now?"

"

Zhong Jiamu took off his coat and put it on the sofa without looking back: "I'm not hungry."

"But didn't you just go down to buy midnight snacks?"

Zhong Jiamu was stunned for a while and then said, "Then you can do whatever you want."

Ten minutes later, Zhong Jiamu looked at the hot instant noodles in front of him and regretted it.

What about Xi Changchang, who usually cooks delicious food? He glanced at Xi Changchang, who was sitting aside, with "please praise me" written all over his face. He endured it for a rare moment, opened his chopsticks and ate in silence.

It was steaming, the doors and windows were closed, and the late autumn night breeze was blowing outside, making the room even more quiet. She sat aside and watched the TV series intently. An old drama was replayed at midnight, and the heroine asked questions with tears in her face.

: "You are cruel, you are ruthless, you are unreasonable."

It was obviously a bloody plot that he had always despised, but now it sounded like tenderness flowing through his ears.

Thousands of lights.

After eating the noodles, he stood up and said, "I'm going to sleep first."

Xi Changchang said oh and turned around to put away the dishes.

After he brushed his teeth and washed his face, and was about to go back to the room, he heard her hesitantly calling her name from behind. He turned back and raised his eyebrows in question.

She asked cautiously: "Tomorrow...will you go down to buy supper?"

Her expression was pretending to be casual, but there was a look of anticipation in her eyes. He suddenly burst into laughter, and after a moment he replied calmly: "Maybe."

This casual "maybe" frightened Xi Changchang for a whole day. When she arrived at the alley the next day, she looked around and saw that no one was there.

She touched her nose in the cold wind, losing her last hope. Thinking about it, how could it be such a coincidence that she happened to meet again. Take a look at the dark alley that could be used as a ghost movie scene without a set.

I feel like crying again but have no tears, so I have to move forward tremblingly.

There was a "pop" sound, and a light flashed from the shadow of the alley wall, illuminating that handsome face.

He blocked the wind with one hand, and red light came out from between his fingers, and the slightly drunken light flickered on and off his face.

She stood there, not knowing how to react.

He put the lighter back in his pocket, turned around and took two steps back. Seeing that she was still there in a daze, he frowned and said, "Let's go quickly."

"Oh." Xi Changchang woke up from a dream and hurriedly chased after him. With a flattering look on his face: "Zhong Jiamu, want to buy a midnight snack?"

"Throw it away again?" She glanced at his empty hand.

"Um."

"Where are you going back to?" Zhong Jiamu didn't answer, but asked.

"I'm so tired just after I got off the train. Besides, there's nothing wrong with them watching in the store..." Yang Qiang's voice was soft and gentle, with a kind of lazy warmth.

"I'll take you there." Zhong Jiamu said hello and glanced at Xi Changchang seemingly casually. When their eyes met, Xi Changchang immediately stood at attention, looking upright and upright.

Zhong Jiamu turned around and called one of his brothers: "Master, go to Hebei Road. Hebei Road, doesn't it happen to pass by his door? Xi Changchang immediately raised his hand to fight for his rights: "It's just on the way, why don't you send me off first..."

Zhong Jiamu glared at her, and she swallowed the following words in disbelief. Her heart suddenly felt cold. When she saw the beauty, she didn't even want to give her a ride.

Watching Zhong Jiamu open the car door and put Yang Qiang into the taxi, Xi Changchang stood in the wind and felt aggrieved. However, Zhong Jiamu came over again, picked up her luggage and put it into the trunk with one hand, and turned around

Seeing her still standing there blankly, she lowered her face and said, "Come here, get in the car!"

After another village, Zhong Jiamu was still very close to her, and Xi Changchang sat down in her arms.

Zhong Jiamu raised his eyebrows to express inquiry.

Xi Changchang pointed to the dozen or so dishes on the buffet box and expressed admiration: "You actually remember so many of my favorite dishes."

Zhong Jiamu glanced at her and said in a tone of fear of trouble: "Who would have nothing to do to memorize these things? I just typed them casually."

How could he be so precise in hitting anything, just to avoid her being a famous picky eater? Xi Changchang had bright eyes and was very impressed.

Zhong Jiamu looked at Xi Changchang who looked incredulous in front of him and raised his voice slightly: "Are you going to eat or not?"

"Eat, of course!" Xi Changchang immediately lowered his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

After a moment, with his mouth full of food, a chaotic female voice sounded: "Zhong Jiamu, why is your face red?"

"No." Zhong Jiamu glanced at her sideways.

"It's obviously there." Xi Changchang pointed out with sharp eyes.

"You are wrong!" Zhong Jiamu said firmly.
