Reborn as a top-notch little wife

The Baijia Lecture Forum was being broadcast on the TV. A professor was talking with great excitement, and Dad Xi was listening with 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. Even though 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, and he will not love them.

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...
