Reborn in the last days, I hoard goods to support my teammates

Chapter 48 Strange

The two grown men did not feel melancholy for long, and soon returned to their usual happy self, happily finishing dinner with Nan Sumei and He Xin.

It was already late at night, but Tong Tianhui was tossing and turning in bed unable to fall asleep, not because he was tired, but because he was worried about Qiao Yun and the others, "I wonder if they have rested now." He murmured.

Suddenly there were a few people missing from the room, and the meal was not so lively. I always felt empty inside.

"I don't know what happened to Kong Shu and Cen Gui."

"Damn it, that guy Cen Gui can tell at a glance that he has a stupid head."

He talked to himself about everyone. When he thought of Chu Yao, he remembered that she always called him Brother Tong affectionately, with a smile on her face and her clear eyes like spring water in a pool.

Recalling Chu Yao's intentional or unintentional hint that day, Tong Tianhui actually felt a little moved in his heart.

Thinking of this, Tong Tianhui's heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if something in his heart had been touched, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

After realizing that the corners of his mouth had reached his temples, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard, stood up, opened the bedroom door and walked into the bathroom.

The cold water touching the skin on his face made him wake up instantly. Tong Tianhui looked up at himself in the mirror and murmured to himself, "Are you worthy of A Yuan like this?"

He asked the same question to the mirror over and over again, and when he looked back in the mirror, his eyes were already red, and tears welled up from the corners of his eyes without warning, and fell across his face in the sink.

His emotions collapsed at this moment, and tears fell uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes. He sobbed softly and kept pouring water on his face, trying to hide the fact that he was crying.

Looking at his unsatisfactory self in the mirror, and the person in the mirror staring at him, he looked a little lost, as if himself in the mirror suddenly smiled disdainfully at him.

He rubbed his eyes that were sore from crying, looked at the mirror intently, and waved to it. The person in the mirror also waved as he did. It seemed that he was worrying too much.

He shook his head, washed his face again, and the moment he looked up again, the corner of his mouth raised in the mirror seemed to be mocking, and his lips opened and closed as if he was talking.

The person in the mirror spoke very quickly, but Tong Tianhui clearly knew that the person only said three words: heartless man.

Anger burned in his heart, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said in the mirror. The anger turned into infinite self-blame and guilt.

He leaned back against the sink, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. He didn't want to look at himself in the mirror anymore. He was trying his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, but the words "heartless man" always echoed in his ears.

His hands were clenched uncontrollably, and his nails were deeply embedded in his flesh, but he felt no pain at all. Compared with the pain caused by his body, his heart felt as uncomfortable as being pricked by thousands of needles.

He numbly turned around and faced the mirror again. The moment he turned around, he seemed to see himself in the mirror smiling contemptuously.

"Get out!" Tong Tianhui raised his hand and punched the mirror. The mirror cracked around his fist, and countless versions of himself seemed to be reflected in the broken mirror.

They kept the same contemptuous smiles and looked directly at Tong Tianhui.

Tong Tianhui stumbled out of the bathroom as if he was running away. He didn't want to stay in that place anymore.

After he returned to the bedroom, he didn't care about the wound on the back of his hand that was scratched by the lens after breaking the mirror. He collapsed directly on the bed and completely wrapped himself in the quilt.

A sleepless night.

When having breakfast the next day, Tong Tianhui's expression changed significantly, and he hid his injured hand intentionally or unintentionally.

However, the sharp-eyed Nan Sumei discovered it. The old man didn't ask any questions and just asked He Xin to use his powers to deal with it for him.

Zhao Liang, who lived on the second floor like Tong Tianhui, had already seen the broken mirror when he was washing up. He wanted to ask Tong Tianhui what happened during breakfast.

But now that I see him looking haggard, I just pretend that nothing happened. Men, there are inevitably a few days in a month.

After eating, Tong Tianhui went out to work immediately. Zhao Liang couldn't stay at home and went out early. He was happy at the thought of chatting with a pretty girl early.

Days passed like this, and this was Qiao Yun's third day out.

Several people in the residence could not sit still. Qiao Yun planned to return within two days before going out, but it was already the evening of the third day and they had not been seen yet.

Nan Sumei sat worriedly on the steps at the door of the villa, staring blankly at the closed door, looking forward to the return of Qiao Yun and the others.

It wasn't until the sky completely darkened that the door to the compound was finally opened, and Qiao Yun came back with her team.

Tong Tianhui, who was squatting on the edge of the small pond to watch the fish, turned his head and saw that it was Qiao Yun and the others who were back. He jumped up to meet them. When he saw that they were all fine, the big stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.

"I thought something happened to you." Tong Tianhui said with concern, his eyes swept across the crowd, and when he saw Chu Yao's face, his heart skipped a beat.

Chu Yao met Tong Tianhui's eyes and smiled lightly at him.

Tong Tianhui looked away as if he was electrocuted. Everything about last night was vivid in his mind. His palms were slightly sweaty and his expression was dazed.

He shook his suddenly heavy head and said slowly, "Go in quickly, grandma is very worried."

Nan Sumei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her return safely. She held Qiao Yun's hand, her eyes were red and her voice was slightly trembling, "Why did you go out for so long? I'm so worried."

"We went to Zhiyun Mountain in Linshi this time. We originally came back yesterday evening, but we met a group of people on the way, so we helped and delayed some time. Grandma was worried." Qiao Yun expanded.

Hugging Nan Sumei with both arms, she explained warmly.

"Just come back safely." Zhao Liang looked worried. Just now, after Tong Tianhui brought Qiao Yun and the others in, he hid in the room alone, "Sister Qiao, come here."

Qiao Yun saw Zhao Liang's serious expression, as if he really had something important to say, and was pulled to the entertainment room before she even had time to put down her bag.

Zhao Liang turned around and locked the door, faced Qiao Yun, thought for a moment and then said, "Tong Tianhui has been acting weird lately."

"How do you say that?" Qiao Yun was confused and frowned.

Zhao Liang informed Qiao Yun of Tong Tianhui's recent strange behavior and behavior of breaking mirrors.

"Is that so?" Qiao Yun never expected that something like this would happen to her after just a few days away, but she couldn't help but ask Tong Tianhui directly, "I'll observe him for a while, and you can also help me keep an eye on him.

"
