Reborn as a top-notch little wife

Chapter 38 Love is a Light

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 the handsome face was illuminated in the shadow of the alley wall.

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."

Then there was silence.

Xi Changchang obviously had no understanding of this kind of silent friendship between gentlemen. After walking for about ten steps, she already felt embarrassed bugs crawling all over her body. She peeked at Zhong Jiamu's side face a few times,

Try to speak: "Zhong Jiamu."

He hummed obligingly.

Xi Changchang gained courage and broke the dullness: "Today, the old man in our department actually confessed his love."

Zhong Jiamu looked uninterested, but he kindly said, "Really?"

Response! There is a response! Xi Changchang struck while the iron was hot, gesticulating: "Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. There was actually a love letter in his bag, a pink and blue envelope, with a quote from Xu Zhimo's poem on it. What are you saying?

It's just a cloud in the sky. It's so rubbish. How can anyone use these poems nowadays? Even Jay Chou's lyrics are much better than this! Besides, who still writes love letters in this day and age." She finished her comment and turned around to read.

Looking at Zhong Jiamu: "Really?"

Zhong Jiamu was obviously perfunctory: "Oh, yes, yes."

Xi Changchang's nerves were obviously thicker than others, and his mood was even higher: "Let me tell you again, the general manager's wig was crooked during the meeting today. We..."

The old street lamp stretched the silhouette of the two people very long.

More than a month later, in the dark old alley late at night, I witnessed the daily "accidental encounters" between a certain lawyer who bought midnight snacks and then threw them away, and a timid and talkative sister-in-law.

Such conversations often echoed above the alley.

"Zhong Jiamu, do you know that a person came to our company today? His sister has filmed many TV series!"

"Is it?"

The old street lamps stretched the figures of the paralyzed lawyer and the talkative man very long.

As soon as I got home, someone called me.

"Xi Changchang? Come over tomorrow. There is something at home that requires your help."

Xi Changchang was obviously very happy when he heard his father's voice and agreed repeatedly.

After hanging up the phone, she carefully asked Zhong Jiamu: "My home is far away, will you come to pick me up?" There was unhidden expectation in her eyes.

"Everything is going on in the office and you have to be busy."

"Oh." After hearing Zhong Jiamu's answer, Xi Changchang's face was filled with disappointment. She lowered her head and returned to her room. She lay on the bed, wondering if her father would have a long talk again when she went back tomorrow.

I fell into sleep just thinking about it.

As soon as he got home, as expected, his father gave him all kinds of earnest lessons. After Xi Changchang stayed there for a day, he ran away and took away most of his belongings in the room.

As soon as Xi Changchang's four big bags left the subway station, a bunch of people gathered around them.

"Beauty, where are you going?"

“Beauty, do you want a car?

Xi Changchang was very pleased with the sound of beautiful women, and was about to choose a kind-faced brother to go home. The men who were gathered in front of her all walked behind her, and all of them had their eyes widened.

Xi Changchang turned around, her eyes suddenly froze - it was a very big beauty.

Although half of her face was covered by a pair of big sunglasses, her temperament, image, and clothes made her look like someone from an urban idol drama. A bunch of guys instantly formed a wall in front of the beautiful woman.

"Beauty, where are you going?"

"Beauty, do you want a car?"

This time the beauty screamed very sincerely, Xi Changchang thought bitterly. The beauty stopped in her steps. Although she couldn't see her eyes, her expression was quite impatient. She smoothed her hair with her hand and walked towards her faster.

Walking forward. When passing by Xi Changchang, he said coldly: "Take it."

Xi Changchang hurriedly moved her luggage that was blocking her on the road, and the beautiful woman passed by with a cold face.

So cool, so cool. Looking at her curly hair blown by the wind, the corners of her coat that were turned up slightly when she walked, and the stiletto boots that made her tremble just looking at them, Xi Changchang was filled with emotion. Then she looked down.

Xi Changchang felt a little depressed when he saw himself wrapped up like a bun.

The cold beauty in front suddenly stopped, took off her glasses with one hand, and said in a surprised voice: "Zhong Jiamu!"

Zhong Jiamu?! Xi Changchang, who was bowing his head and feeling inferior, raised his head in shock and saw the beautiful woman walking forward and throwing herself into someone's arms.

The man seemed a little surprised: "Yang Qiang?!" The lights of the shops around the square illuminated the delicate facial features and lazy expression.

It was her brother-in-law who refused to pick her up no matter how much she begged for orders!

Xi Changchang pouted and Lao Gao stood aside and stared at the two people.

That beauty, uh, Yang Qiang no longer has a glamorous image, she is completely tired of Zhong Jiamu's arms, but Zhong Jiamu, the human flesh cushion who always hates physical contact, has no intention of refusing at all. Leave yourself alone.

Picking up others, and now hugging and hugging others. It is typical for Xi Changchang to have a beautiful woman and forget about her sister-in-law, which makes Xi Changchang feel a little unbalanced mentally.

"Zhong Jiamu, how did you know I was coming back today?" Yang Qiang's voice came, and Xi Changchang couldn't help but lean forward and stretch his neck.

"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.

Yang Qiang glanced at her: "Zhong Jiamu, who is she?"

Zhong Jiamu replied calmly: "An acquaintance."

Acquaintance, such a broad and indifferent term, Xi Changchang was shocked.

Yang Qiang looked at Xi Changchang seriously, then turned around and smiled at Zhong Jiamu: "Hey, when did Zhong Jiamu have any acquaintances that I didn't know?" It was very meaningful.

Xi Changchang was keenly aware of the smell of adultery, turned her body back, and stretched her ears and neck.

Zhong Jiamu glanced at Xi Changchang intentionally or unintentionally, and did not answer. He only asked: "Why didn't you ask them to pick you up when you came back?"

"Aside from talking a lot, what's the use of them coming?" Yang Qiang sneered, but glanced at Xi Changchang.

The ice was biting, the ice was biting, and Xi Changchang shivered immediately.

Just as he was talking, he saw the Zhong family and the Mu family arriving. Changchang immediately shouted to stop the car when he arrived. The driver looked at him in confusion: "We haven't arrived yet."

"Stop here for a moment." Hebei Road has not yet arrived, but her home has already arrived. After more than ten hours of jolting, what she wants most now is to lie on her own bed.

Just as the master was about to turn the steering wheel, Zhong Jiamu's voice came over: "Master, go to Hebei Road first.

"Why?" Xi Changchang exclaimed.
