It is a man's responsibility to protect his woman, and a woman protected by a man is happy. And if a woman can unswervingly advance and retreat with her man, then this man is lucky. Tan Xuan feels that he is the luckiest one.
, the ex and the current one are together, but they treat the same thing in completely different ways, which makes him even more grateful that he loves the right person.
The Jiang family finally left Jiangzhou, but they were a family when they came. When they returned, one person had turned into a box of ashes. According to local customs, young people like Jiang Mingcheng could not be buried, so the Jiang family planned to put him to death.
His ashes were brought back to Tongyu and scattered on the mountain in his hometown, which can be considered as leaving a memory for his family.
Tan Xuan finally moved back to his home. Of course, he didn't move back alone. Xiao Di also moved back. In Tan Xuan's view, although Xiao Di's place was warm and cozy, the rented house was not as good as his own.
She lived casually in the house. Tan Xuan intended to move all Xiao Di's belongings directly there, but Xiao Di refused, saying that it was her nest. If she wanted to go back to live there in the future, she would have to go back for a few days, but Tan Xuan was still rejected.
Using both soft and hard tactics, he moved a lot of her office stuff over.
Ordinary life always passes quickly, especially when there are people at home staying with each other, and the time is spent either sleeping or waiting for sleep. Tan Xuan lives a fulfilling life every day, even if he is taken care of by Xiao Di, in his view
Coming there is also the ravages of love.
A few days passed in a flash, and Tan Xuan had completely returned to his old life. He stayed up and down at night every day, and lived a comfortable life with Xiao Di. He just thought that their relationship had not been mentioned to Xiao Di's family, and thought of Qin Sixian's original life.
Tan Xuan's heart was a little beat up. It was not entirely because of fear, but more because of the negative impact of the Jiang family's attack.
On this day, Tan Xuan was still busy with the online ride-hailing business that he was passionate about. As a result, at ten o'clock in the morning, he received a strange phone call from a different place.
"Hello, hello, who are you?" Tan Xuan answered the phone with a professional greeting. Since he changed his original mobile phone number, he feels that his business has returned a lot, and his work only depends on the distance and not the distance.
Man, it doesn’t matter if his phone number is from another place or a foreign country.
"Hello, is this Brother Tan?" A trembling and hoarse voice came from the phone.
"Who are you?" Tan Xuan did not take the initiative to agree, but asked with a frown.
The other party coughed twice and said, "Brother Tan, I am Shen Zihan."
"It's you, you're still up so late, why don't you call me?" Tan Xuan asked again. In fact, when he heard the other party coughing twice, he already knew who the other party was, but he didn't expect it.
She would still call herself. After all, in Tan Xuan's view, he and Shen Zihan no longer had any interaction, just like two pieces of duckweed in the water, one has gone away with the current, and the other is still making a nest in the same place.
"Brother Tan, let me tell you something. I dreamed about Jiang Mingcheng." Shen Zihan continued to say tremblingly, as if he had just experienced something terrible and had not yet recovered from it.
Tan Xuan frowned again, realizing that this person was not asleep but had just woken up, so he said impatiently: "Do you have anything else to do? If nothing else, I will hang up. I am busy now."
When Jiang Mingcheng was alive, Tan Xuan didn't want to see him, and when he died, he almost caused uproar in the city. Now that he heard his name, Tan Xuan felt unlucky.
"No, Brother Tan, listen to me. I dreamed that Jiang Mingcheng came to me and said that he was suffering there and he came to beg me..."
"Okay, okay." Tan Xuan interrupted Shen Zihan, "It seems that you still miss Jiang Mingcheng in your heart. This is because you think about it day by day and dream about it at night. You think too much on weekdays. , if you have nothing to do, go to bed early, it’s still early before dawn.”
After saying that, Tan Xuan hung up the phone, not giving Shen Zihan a chance to continue chatting with her.
"Good guy, you came to talk to me about dreams in the middle of the night. Talking about dreams is better than talking about dreams. What's more, it's still a nightmare. If you want to talk about erotic dreams, I can still talk to you. Fortunately, there are no passengers at the moment, otherwise I would hear Don’t report these blabbering words to me anymore..."
After hanging up the phone, Tan Xuan muttered to himself for a while, but after talking for a while, he froze.
"No, how did Shen Zihan know that Jiang Mingcheng was dead? Jiang Mingcheng had just come back when she left Jiangzhou, and he hadn't jumped into the river yet. And how did she know my phone number..."
All kinds of questions came up. Tan Xuan shook his head and quickly explained himself, "I guess she is still in contact with the Jiang family. She was still haunted by this dream after she caused that guy to do that. It's really... I have no memory. Go ahead and dream. Anyway, that bastard can only appear in your dreams. It won’t take long, as long as you have a new love, you will forget about the old one.”
The phone call didn't have any impact on Tan Xuan. If he had to say it did, it would be to refresh him at midnight. After working as a driver for a long time, he had more or less acquired some of the driver's habits. He loved it when there were passengers. Chat with passengers, and chat with yourself when there are no passengers.
Tan Xuan thought that this incident was over, but at about the same time the next day, Shen Zihan called again, and his tone was even more panicked than yesterday, "Brother Tan, it's not good, I just had another dream." We’ve arrived at Jiangming City.”
Tan Xuan chuckled, "Why, you still have one dream a day. Your sleep quality is not good either."
There were no passengers anyway, and Tan Xuan was bored and parked the car directly on the side of the road.
"Why, you dreamed about Jiang Mingcheng again. What did he ask you for? He wanted to renew his relationship with you, right? I advise you to be more reserved. He tricked you like this when he was alive. After he died, You’ll be done with it even more.”
Tan Xuan was teasing him in a nonchalant way, but as a result, there was no sound on the phone.
"Hey, hey...what are you doing? Did you fall asleep again?" Tan Xuan shouted loudly into the mobile phone.
"No, no." Shen Zihan's nervous voice came from the phone.
"Then why didn't you say anything? I thought you were asleep again." Thinking that we would never see each other again, Tan Xuan's tone was not as serious as before, and even a little unserious, "You give me this time every day When I call, you won’t be going to the toilet at this time every day, right?”
The phone fell into silence again. Tan Xuan shook his head and smiled proudly. This was how they chatted until they had nothing to say. But when he was about to hang up, Shen Zihan's weak voice came over the phone again.
"Brother Tan, is Jiang Mingcheng dead?"
Tan Xuan frowned slightly and said impatiently: "Aren't you asking questions knowingly? Didn't Jiang Yingyue and his family already tell you? If he doesn't die, would you dream that he could be so virtuous by scaring him?"
"No, no one told me the news. I just heard you say that I knew Jiang Mingcheng was dead. When did he die? How did he die?" Shen Zihan said in surprise, throwing out a series of words. Several problems occurred.
"Oh?" Tan Xuan became very surprised for a moment. He did not answer Shen Zihan's question, but asked: "Then you called me in the past two days and said that you dreamed of him, and you were still panicking. What's going on?"
"I dreamed that he came to my house and asked me to save him. He said that he was haunted by a female ghost. But every time I asked him in my dream what was going on, he asked He suddenly disappeared."
"Did you dream that he came to you and asked you to come to me to save him?" Tan Xuan smiled, "It seems that I am not the only one who is deeply harassed by the Jiang family. You can dream about this even if you die. It's okay. You just want to There are too many.”
Tan Xuancai didn't believe that Jiang Mingcheng entrusted Shen Zihan with a dream. He didn't even create a ghost. What could he use to entrust the dream to him? Shen Zihan probably knew the news of Jiang Mingcheng's death from other channels, and felt a little hard to accept it for a while, and caused She was in a trance, that's why she had this kind of dream. It's not like Tan Xuan has never encountered this kind of thing before. All this can only show that Shen Zihan has Jiang Mingcheng in her heart. If not, how could she dream of him? But Tan Xuan didn't Go clarify the matter. After all, once said, some words will not only hurt people, but also hurt others.
"No, Brother Tan, it's not that I'm imagining it, but I feel like it's not like a dream, it's just like reality." Shen Zihan continued to say matter-of-factly.
Tan Xuan laughed, dumbfounded by Shen Zihan's words, and said: "No matter how real a dream is, it's just a dream. You just got tricked too deeply by him. Okay, you can continue to sleep. Didn't Jiang Mingcheng ask you to ask me for help?" , now that your words have reached me, you can sleep peacefully. You don’t owe him anything, so you don’t have to be afraid of him. It’s my business whether to save him or not. If he wants to blame me, let him come to me.”
Tan Xuan hung up Shen Zihan's call again. This kind of phone call was fine for passing time, but talking too much would not be good if it affected his mood.
"Hey, this guy Jiang Mingcheng only caused trouble for others when he was alive. He is still like this now. He is really a scourge. It would be great if he really turned into a ghost. Those people in his family wouldn't bother me anymore. It's been so long, and if he turns out to be a ghost, I just want to catch him and vent my anger, at least beat him a few times to relieve my anger. It's a pity, this guy died a free and easy death, and he didn't give me this chance."
"You have a new order, please check it carefully. Please arrive at the designated location to pick up the passenger before one thirty..."
After receiving a new order, Tan Xuan didn't bother to think about Jiang Mingcheng anymore. The passenger was God, much better than his dead person who had turned to ashes.
Tan Xuan drove back home after working so hard that the sky was turning white. He bought breakfast at the gate of the community and took it home. He found that Xiao Di had already fallen asleep. He didn't know whether he just fell asleep or he was not too busy last night. Tan Xuan had eaten Tiptoely, he washed up, ate something, and went to the study to practice Kungfu for a while. When the sun fully revealed his body, he went back to sleep. Tan Xuan and Xiao Di still lived in the north-facing bedroom, not Xiao Di. She dislikes the fact that Chaoyang's master bedroom has been occupied by Jiang Yingyue, but she agrees with Tan Xuan's way of choosing a room. For night owls like them who sleep during the day, it is more suitable to sleep in a north-facing bedroom. It is not only quiet, but also the most important thing is that it can be made by themselves. time difference.
After sleeping until the afternoon, he was already hungry when he woke up, and the food left in the morning had already cooled down. Tan Xuan was reluctant to let Xiao Di eat such food, so the two of them tidied up a little and went out to look for food hand in hand. That's right, they are just looking for food, because they don't think about eating water, they just go out and eat whatever they encounter.
Although it was late autumn, it was already very cold in the morning and evening, but the afternoon sunshine was still warm. The two of them did not drive, but held each other's hands and walked out of the community. There were mostly elderly friends walking along the way, and there were even some pushing wheelchairs. They were out for a walk, and the handsome man and woman among them were quite eye-catching.
"Brother Tan! Sister Tan!"
As soon as Tan Xuan and Xiao Di walked out of the gate of the community, they heard someone calling them loudly, and hearing this name, they knew who called them without looking.
"Let me go, why did she come to our door?"
Tan Xuan patted his forehead and looked to the side of the gate. He was immediately stunned because standing next to the guard box at the gate was not only Shen Zihan but also Jiang Yingyue.
While Tan Xuan was stunned, Xiao Di had already let go of Tan Xuan's arm and walked to the two of them with a smile, "Hello, are you waiting for us?"
"Yes, Miss Xiaoying and I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
"We've been waiting for a long time, so why don't you go in? It's not like you don't know which building we live in." Xiao Di asked slightly surprised.
Jiang Yingyue smiled awkwardly and said: "We didn't go in. The last time my parents and I had a fight, the security guard at the door had completely remembered me. They stopped us as soon as we arrived at the door. We asked the owner to allow us to come in and called you, but you all turned off your phone."
"Ah, that's right." Xiao Di also smiled awkwardly. The security guard refused to let in. That's because she had an argument with the property management company after moving back two days ago. Xuan wouldn't come out to "escape" in the middle of the night. As for the inability to get through on the phone, it would be strange if she and Tan Xuan could get through during the day. If they could get through, they would probably only get a scolding.
"Why did you come to us again?" Tan Xuan asked expressionlessly.
Facing Jiang Yingyue again, Tan Xuan didn't show any signs of embarrassment. Sometimes he couldn't see a person clearly for a long time, but sometimes it only takes one thing to recognize a person. Now Tan Xuan is not happy to see Jiang Yingyue. There is no resentment, just like seeing a normal acquaintance, not a friend, nor acquiescence, even the polite greetings are a bit redundant.
"Tan Xuan, what are you talking about?" Xiao Di rolled her eyes at Tan Xuan unhappily. As the hostess of the family, she would not allow Tan Xuan to treat guests this way.
"Have you eaten? How about we go outside to eat something first."
"No."
"OK."
Jiang Yingyue and Shen Zihan answered almost at the same time and then looked at each other. They were both embarrassed.
Xiao Di chuckled and said, "You're welcome. Tan Xuan and I came out to eat when we were hungry. Let's eat together. No matter what happens, we'll talk about it after we go home."
With that said, Xiao Di didn't give them a chance to refuse, and directly pulled them to the row of shops outside the gate of the community. There was no shortage of places to eat and drink here. Although it may not be high-end, the taste was always good.
During the meal, Jiang Yingyue hesitated many times, and Shen Zihan also looked sad. Xiao Di ordered a lot of dishes and they didn't even take a few bites. It wasn't that the food didn't suit their appetite, but that they had no appetite. Xiao Di and them After a brief chat, they only found out that they had made an appointment last night and each came from their hometown this morning. Jiang Yingyue came by car, while Shen Zihan came by plane. It can't be described from the perspective of being in the dust. As for the specific reason for their coming, they didn't dare to say more, because Tan Xuan told them to talk about it at home, and not to say anything that shouldn't be said outside. They didn't know whether their words should be said. But seeing Tan Xuan's expression, he chose to remain silent.
The meal was eaten in a hurry, and I hurriedly checked out and left without eating much, because some people couldn't eat because they were worried, some couldn't eat because they were confused, and some people ate because they were unhappy. No less. It was a good afternoon and dinner, but due to everyone’s different thoughts, I lost my appetite.
Arriving at Tan Xuan's home again, Jiang Yingyue, who had become a guest, was very reserved. After entering the house, she felt a little restless. She was not even as comfortable as Shen Zihan.
"You're welcome, it's not your first time here, feel free to do whatever you want. Come, eat fruit... come, drink tea..."
I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Di was very enthusiastic, making tea and water, and washing fruits. She was busy for a long time, but throughout the whole process, she acted like the hostess of the house. All he had to do was stick a piece of paper on his forehead with the words "Tan Xuan's wife" written on it.
Tan Xuan occupied one side of the sofa by himself, leaned back, looked at the two unwelcome guests and said lazily: "Tell me, what is the situation that made you two come all the way here?" Have you been waiting at the gate of my community all afternoon?"
"Brother Tan, I came to you just to tell you about the dream I have been talking about for the past two days." Shen Zihan was the first to speak, as if she had been preparing for a long time. As soon as Tan Xuan asked, she rushed to answer. .
Tan Xuan snorted, looking at Shen Zihan who was much fatter than the previous two days, but still not in good spirits, and asked: "Your dream, good guy, I didn't tell you enough on the phone, and you came to my house to tell me Oh, what, you dreamed that Jiang Mingcheng asked you to come to me again?"
"Yes." Shen Zihan nodded vigorously, "After you hung up the phone last night, I fell asleep again. As soon as I fell asleep, I dreamed of Jiang Mingcheng. This time Jiang Mingcheng and The two dreams were different. He was so thin that he looked like he had taken off his clothes. Instead, water kept dripping from his body, as if he had just been fished out of the water. He cried and begged me to find you to save him. He said he was captured by a female ghost and he no longer wants to be with that female ghost. Please rescue him."
Tan Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Shen Zihan and then looked at Jiang Yingyue, "Did you tell her that Jiang Mingcheng jumped into the river and died?"
Jiang Yingyue shook her head, "I didn't tell Zihan about Mingcheng. It was only when I received her call this morning that I found out that Mingcheng had entrusted her with a dream, so I asked her to fly over to see you."
Tan Xuan snorted coldly again, "What kind of dream did you ask for? Jiang Mingcheng has completely disappeared from this world. He didn't even become a ghost. What kind of dream he used to ask for was all Shen Zihan's wild imagination. These two I told her to stop thinking about useless things every day, but she not only didn't listen, she even came to my family."
Shen Zihan shook her head vigorously, looked into Tan Xuan's eyes and said: "No, Brother Tan, I'm not just thinking wildly. I'm sure Jiang Mingcheng really entrusted me with a dream. I really didn't lie to you. I dreamed last night I woke up after Jiang Mingcheng told me what he said. Although Jiang Mingcheng's voice and smile were still vivid in my mind, I thought I was dreaming. But when I got out of bed and went to the bathroom, I saw a puddle of water on the floor next to my bed. Oh, I felt that it was not a dream, because in the dream Jiang Mingcheng was standing there and talking to me."
"What!" Tan Xuan frowned instantly, sat up straight and asked Shen Zihan: "Are you sure you saw a piece of water?"
"Well, I'm sure." Shen Zihan nodded vigorously, then took out a crumpled paper ball from his small bag and put it on the coffee table, "Look, this is what I used to wipe the puddle of water. Tissues. I think this is not a dream, Jiang Mingcheng is really in trouble and needs you to save him, so I got up early and took a plane to Jiangzhou, and also found Miss Xiaoying."
"oh!"
Tan Xuan looked at the paper ball on the table and frowned even deeper, because he saw a faint yin energy from the paper ball. Although it was not much, it was not something that a living person should have at all. As for Shen Zihan's explanation later If so, he didn't listen at all.
"What's wrong? Do you see what's wrong?" Xiao Di had already understood the purpose of Shen Zihan and Jiang Yingyue's visit. Seeing Tan Xuan's expression, she knew that Tan Xuan must have discovered something wrong, and The problem seems to be serious, because she has been with Tan Xuan for a long time, and she is already familiar with Tan Xuan's habits, and the seriousness of the matter can be seen from the degree of Tan Xuan's frown.
Tan Xuan shook his head slightly, with a serious look on his face, "It's hard to say for sure. The matter is more complicated than I thought. Let me first verify whether Shen Zihan was entrusted with a dream by the ghost of Jiang Mingcheng."
"Jiang Mingcheng's ghost, didn't you say that Jiang Mingcheng didn't become a ghost?" Xiao Di said puzzledly, "And Jiang Yingyue's grandfather also confirmed Jiang Mingcheng's point. What if Jiang Mingcheng didn't register with him at all? "
"So this situation may be more complicated than I thought. Let me confirm this first before talking about it."
Tan Xuan went to the kitchen to get a bowl, lit the paper ball that Shen Zihan brought and threw it into the bowl. After it was completely burned to ashes, Tan Xuan took another bottle of pure water and poured it into the bowl. He took a chopstick and poured it into the bowl. The water was completely muddy. Then Tan Xuan lit another cigarette, took a deep breath and blew out a puff of smoke towards the mouth of the bowl. The smoke did not dissipate and slowly formed a film on the water in the bowl. , a vague figure gradually appeared on the film.
"ah!"
Shen Zihan was shocked when she saw that figure, while Jiang Yingyue beside her couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
