The Boyfriend Who I’ve Never Met

Xie Tao stared at the familiar ceiling for a long time when she woke up, and then she looked around, everything in front of her was still so familiar, it was clearly the house she was renting.

Why is she back again? ? ?

Xie Tao sat up all of a sudden, her whole body dumbfounded.

Before she could think more, she quickly took out the phone from her pillow, tapped into WeChat, and opened the video call.

Wei Yun just sat in front of the case and rubbed his eyebrows, and he heard the fine ringtones. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a girl's face appeared in the light curtain of the copper pendant on the book case.

As soon as Xie Tao wanted to speak, she saw herself with messy hair in the upper right corner of the phone screen. She opened her eyes and quickly threw the phone on the bed, throwing down the sentence "Wei Yun, wait a minute" and put it on. Slippers ran into the bathroom.

When she came out again, she had already washed, changed her clothes, and even got a ponytail.

"Why did Wei Yun come back again?" She picked up the phone on the bed and asked him quickly.

Wei Yun was drinking tea, and when he saw her face again in the light curtain, he put down the tea cup and said: "The effect of the spice should be time-limited."

He has not asked Sheng Yueqi about this.

This is just his guess.

"what?"

Xie Tao tilted her head for a moment, and then opened her shiny eyes, urging him, "Then you try again, you try again!"

Wei Yun looked at her impatient look, and felt quite amused, "Are you not going to school today?"

This sentence immediately made Xie Tao stay there.

Yeah!

Going to school today!

"Then, wait for me! Wait for me to come back from school!" Xie Tao exhorted.

The heat lingering in the tea cup, Wei Yun's eyebrows were dimmed for a moment, there was a slight smile on his lips, and he did not refuse.

A little reluctantly hung up the video call, Xie Tao looked at the clothes she was wearing, sighed, and pulled out from the closet again the winter uniform of Tiancheng High School.

I owed a lot of homework, and Xie Tao was either listening to class or writing homework almost all day. He was extremely serious.

In the afternoon, Xie Tao suddenly received Zhou Xinyue's WeChat message.

It probably talked about her current situation abroad, and asked about how Xie Tao was doing recently. The two chatted for a long time.

For a moment, Xie Tao seemed to find her former good friend from the lines of Zhou Xinyue's words.

That should be what she looked like.

Knowing that Zhou Xinyue's situation was getting better, Xie Tao felt very happy in her heart.

She felt once again that her decision to return to Nanshi may never have been wrong, because this decision not only allowed her to help Zhou Xinyue get justice, but also gave her the opportunity to face those nightmares once again. courage.

When she left the Zheng's house more than a year ago, she was full of hearts, just wanting to escape.

And now, she learned to face it.

When school was over in the afternoon, Xie Tao met Xie Lan at the school gate.

In such a cold weather, he was still dressed very thinly, as if he could not feel the cold at all, and he seemed to walk step by step from the blazing summer sun.

"Sister Taotao, here's for you." Xie Lan handed her a bank card, "take it back."

Xie Tao stood there holding the shoulder strap of his schoolbag, looking at the bank card in his hand, without moving for a long while.

"Take it, didn't you say it's okay? Pay it back for you first,"

Xie Lan stuffed the bank card into her hand, "Anyway, just treat it as if you borrowed it from me. It's better to borrow mine than to borrow them?"

This sentence seems to make sense...

Xie Tao took the bank card, pursed her lips, and said, "Thank you, I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Xie Lan waved his hand, looking indifferent, "When do you come to work in the tavern?"

Xie Tao froze for a moment, and she stammered a little, "You, are you serious?"

She still couldn't believe it.

"Tsk, are you still thinking that Lao Xi and I lied to you?" Xie Lan reached out to play her brain collapsed.

Xie Tao hurriedly hid back, covering her forehead, "I see..."

"Okay, you go to do your business first, next time we have hot pot together."

After Xie Lan finished speaking, he put one hand in his trouser pocket, turned and walked across the street.

In the frequent traffic, his figure disappeared without knowing when. At that time, all the cameras on the street flashed for an instant, and at the same time, a section of the supposed image was lost.

When he appeared at the entrance of the tavern, the old Xi who was wiping the cup raised his eyes, caught a glimpse of his figure, and smiled, "I'm back."

"Yeah." Xie Lan walked in, sat down opposite Lao Xi, and took a sip of water.

"Did Taotao accept the child?" Old Xi asked.

Xie Lan nodded, "I accept it, it's better to owe me than to her stepfather."

Old Xi smiled slightly, and suddenly there was something meaningful in his tone, "You are very concerned about Taotao."

"That's because she is worth it." Xie Lan said casually.

"She looks so cute, human, and kind. The most important thing is that I am very convinced of her craftsmanship of braised pork, so I rushed to this, I don't lend her money, who do I borrow?"

Hearing what he said, Lao Xi seemed to be taken aback for a while, and then his expression suddenly became a little weird. He stared at Xie Lan and asked, "It's just because of this?"

"Otherwise?" Xie Lan looked at each other, then took the melon seeds in the plate and started snorting, "I, after all these years, no one talks to me except you, but you have nothing to say mainly to you. Yes, you are an elderly person, and the generation gap with me is too big. Taotaomei is pretty good. It's also good to be a younger sister. I really want to have a younger sister. Of course, the most important thing is that she is quite good at cooking..."

"..."

Lao Xi never expected that Xie Lan would be nice to Xie Tao because of this.

At this moment, Xie Lan didn't notice at all. Lao Xi's eyes looked at him, astonishingly the eyes of a sand sculpture "noting a lonely life".

"But I'm quite curious, Lao Xi, you said you are not a softhearted person? Why did you agree to let Tao Taomei work in the tavern?" Xie Lan nibbling on melon seeds, suddenly thought of this question.

Old Xi smiled without denying it.

After a long while, he looked at the empty space outside the entrance of the tavern, and then said, "She and I do have something to do with each other."

Lao Xi had been trapped in the bottle for hundreds of years, until Xie Lan picked it up and opened the mouth of the bottle.

But in fact, before meeting Xie Lan, the bottle was originally in Qizhen.

Xie Tao was the first to pick up the bottle.

Xie Tao at the time was just a ignorant child who was only a few years old.

Although Lao Xi was trapped in the bottle, he could still see everything outside and even heard all the sounds.

Therefore, he can be regarded as witnessing the whole process of this little girl from a happy family to a broken family.

Young Xie Tao likes to carry the bottle wherever she goes. At night, she heard the quarrel of her parents. When the sound of things smashed in the fight, she hid under the bed and held the bottle tightly in her hand. bottle.

Old Xi had heard her cry.

She is a very crying girl, but she always cries secretly under the covers.

Except for him, no one could hear the helpless cry of this little girl, and perhaps no one cared.

This is just one of the most common flavors in the world.

Having been a **** for many years, Lao Xi has seen many joys and sorrows in the world, suffering from the world.

But he still inevitably felt sorry for this little girl's cry.

She has been a kind child since she was a child.

No matter how much snacks she likes, she is willing to give them to the stray cats and dogs on the street, even squatting on the side of the road and looking at them cheerfully.

She would often give the candy she likes to the lonely old woman next door, and she even told the old woman again in a tender voice the story her mother had told her. Seeing that the old woman smiled so much that her teeth were missing. , She will also laugh.

A pure heart is always the most rare in this world.

Lao Xi witnessed her past.

But unfortunately, when her family was completely broken up, all the peace was shattered.

That night, her father never returned, the little girl cried all night, and finally got on the train to Nanshi with her mother.

On the day she came to Nanshi, she lost her favorite bottle.

The lost Lao Xi was trapped in it, and there was no way to remind her, and then the bottle was picked up and thrown directly into the trash can on the side of the road.

After Dianpei for a long time, he was picked up by Xie Lan.

"Wait... Old Xi, you mean, sister Taotao picked you up first?"

After listening to Lao Xi's speech, Xie Lan touched his chin and asked.

Seeing Lao Xi nodded, he suddenly "poofed" and started to beat the table and burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahahahaha...That is to say, Taotao picked you up, but does it mean to open the bottle from beginning to end?"

"..."

Lao Xi's face was dumb, and it took him a while to suffocate, "If she opens it, there will be nothing wrong with you."

Xie Lan laughed so hard that it took a long time to calm down, and then said, "So I have to thank Taotaomei? If it weren't for her, maybe I can still pick up the rags now?"

Old Xi glanced at him, but didn't speak.

At this time, Xie Tao didn't know all of this. She just installed the bank card, filled in the address at the courier company, and sent it to the Zheng family.

When she walked out, Xie Tao stood at the door and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

It was as if a cloud of clouds that had accumulated in my heart for many years finally turned into a cloud of mist and gradually disappeared without a trace. At this moment, her brows were raised slightly, finally showing a somewhat relaxed look.

I went to the supermarket to buy some snacks, and then Xie Tao rushed home.

At that time, Wei Yun had just returned from the forbidden palace, Wei Bo followed behind him, and he stopped talking.

Until Wei Yun entered the study, he stopped and stood in the courtyard, but still did not speak.

"Uncle Wei, what's the matter with you?" Wei Jing asked when he saw that his expression was different.

Uncle Wei gave a light cough, glanced around, and then approached Wei Jing and said in a low voice, "My lord is out of the house this morning, so I will clean up his bedroom. Guess what?"

"What's wrong?" Wei Jing asked.

Uncle Wei blocked his mouth and whispered, "My quilt... is gone."

My lord...'s quilt is missing?

Wei Jing was a little confused.

In the next moment, he raised his eyebrows, "has an assassin been here?"

Weibo gave a "噫" and shook his head, "Which assassin will steal the adult's quilt?"

"That's a thief?" Wei Jing said again.

"Which thief will only steal the quilt?" Weibo asked, directing his soul.

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other, their faces dumbfounded.

Wei Yun entered the study, and just sat down for a moment. Before reading the cipher text in his hand, he noticed that the copper pendant in his shirt was hot.

When he took it out, the copper pendant turned on the astrolabe, and the light curtain appeared.

The girl's face clearly appeared before her eyes.

Then, he heard her eagerly say, "Wei Yun, Wei Yun, hurry up and light up the incense! Hurry up!"

"..."

Wei Yun had to pour some of the gold powder in the brocade bag into the incense burner, and then set it alight with fire.

Thick smoke suddenly filled the room.

When they got together again, they gradually condensed into a figure that became clearer and clearer.

The next moment, the girl's figure completely appeared from the thick smoke, and she was caught off guard, and she fell into his arms.

She was holding a bag of snacks and sitting on his lap, obviously still a little confused.

For a time, his eyes faced each other.

The atmosphere is stagnant.

The author has something to say: Taotao, who sits directly on a person's lap as soon as we meet: Am I or I am getting up or not? ? ?

Wei Yun, who was directly seated on her leg as soon as we met: Should I push away or not? ? ?
