Reborn as a top-notch little wife

Chapter 55 Mother-in-law?

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 turned down, and his face was 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 be waking up from a dream, quickly turned off the phone, and threw the phone to the other end of the sofa, as if it were a hot 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 asking, 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 on the light-colored floor tiles that symbolized the arrival of happiness, 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 turn into black.

The legendary villain.

When his stomach was 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.

He should obviously be reprimanded for such a dangerous behavior, but even he couldn't believe the soft voice when he said, "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 was bumpy 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 have been working in other places. 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.
