chapter eight(1/4)
I originally thought that the fear would disappear after we figured out what happened in the kitchen, but we didn't expect that the feeling of fear would still hit us after we heard that sound coming from the living room again.
She said: "The two of us are inside and outside, maybe we will find the source of the sound."
I suddenly remembered something, "Tong Yao, don't you think it's strange? In the afternoon I was sleeping and you were busy in the kitchen alone, and then you were watching TV on the sofa. Why didn't you hear anything during that process?
Where are any strange sounds?”
She was startled for a moment, and then answered me: "Maybe it's because of the daytime, because some small sounds inside can't be heard during the day. And I was still cooking at the time, and the noise was very loud. No matter what, now
The situation is that we all heard an unusual sound, so we must find out the sound tonight, and we must also discover the reason for it."
I nodded, "Okay. I'll listen outside."
So she went in, and I sat at the dining table and started eating the cold dishes, and slowly drank. To be honest, I really like this way of drinking, after all, it is very relaxing and comfortable.
In fact, I was very focused while eating and drinking, and my ears were very attentive to listening to every sound around me.
At this moment, Tong Yao had turned off the TV, and the surroundings were so quiet that I could clearly hear the sound of a pin dropping. Now, the only sounds I could hear were the slight noises Tong Yao made in the kitchen.
.
Tong Yao came out and brought some other dishes on the table to heat in the microwave. She looked at me and smiled, shaking her head at the same time.
I also laughed, "Did we all misunderstand just now? Is it the sound coming from outside the house?"
She smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe." Then she carried the plate and went to the kitchen again.
I couldn't help but shake my head, thinking that this thing might be the so-called fear that occurred because we were too nervous. Regarding my situation last night, maybe the same was true. As Tong Yao analyzed, maybe it was because my home was too quiet.
But I was too lonely and lonely, so I heard some sounds outside as coming from inside my home.
This is a materialistic world, how could something like that happen?
So, now I think the only way when we face such a thing is to ignore it. Many things are like this. Once you pay special attention to it, it will add unnecessary trouble and annoyance to yourself. Don’t be surprised,
Just let it be.
However, when I was thinking wildly here, I suddenly heard Tong Yao's shrill, terrifying scream coming from the kitchen, "Ah..."
I was startled, immediately stood up from my seat, and ran quickly towards the kitchen.
In front of her, Tong Yao was looking at the stove with a horrified face. She pointed at that place, "Feng Xiao, cockroach! How come you have something like that in your house?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "There are cockroaches in the house, what's so strange about it? Which house doesn't have these things?"
She kept tapping her chest lightly, "It scared me to death."
I smiled bitterly and said: "Tong Yao, you are too nervous. I really can't imagine that you are still a policeman. You are even afraid of this thing!"
She glared at me and said, "Stop talking. Come and serve me the food."[
The dishes on the table are all hot, and the chicken soup is no longer as salty as before. I smiled and said: "Tong Yao, I finally understand why we Jiangnan people like to eat twice-cooked pork so much. It turns out that this dish needs to be tasted a second time.
It will be better."
She laughed, then stretched out her hand and hit me lightly, "Yuck!"
I looked at her, "Are you really going to live here today?"
She nodded and then looked at me, "Feng Xiao, are you safe here?"
I didn't understand what she meant, "What's unsafe? Except for the noises we just heard, but as long as you're not afraid."
She glared at me and then smiled, "I mean, as long as you are safe, then I am safe. The most terrifying thing in the world is us humans, not ghosts and gods."
I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Didn't you already test me? I'm not as bad as you think."
She laughed and said, "That's true. I think you are pretty good. From now on, I will look for a husband like you, but I can't be as fussy as you."
I immediately laughed, "You are so powerful, which man dares to bother you? Are you looking for death?"
She immediately looked very unhappy, "Feng Xiao, you made me sound like a tigress. Am I that powerful?"
I stopped laughing and nodded to her seriously: "Of course, you are indeed very powerful!"
She stared at me without saying a word, but then she laughed, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to be angry with you. Come on, let's drink."
I also laughed. In fact, I was joking with her. Of course she should understand. This is how two people are together. If everyone is too serious, it will be very embarrassing.
So we drank while talking, and eventually we forgot about the noise in the house. The conversation between her and I became more enjoyable.
Later, she asked me a question, "Feng Xiao, are you still ready to fall in love and get married?"
I shook my head, "Let's talk about it later. I really don't feel like that anymore. Besides, I think it will be difficult for me to meet the right person again."
She asked me again: "Do you think Zhao Menglei or Chen Yuan are suitable for you? I'm sorry, I seem to have drunk too much. I shouldn't ask you this question."
I shook my head, "It's okay. Tong Yao, I said you can ask me anything. I know you want to know more about marriage from me. After all, you are not young anymore. It's okay, I can answer
you."
Her face blushed slightly, "Yes. I am very confused, and I really can't imagine what it will be like if I get married in the future, and I don't know who I will marry."
I smiled and said: "A person's marriage is actually an unknown. Just like when I was admitted to college, I started to fill in the application form after the college entrance examination. It was as if I had fallen in love with a certain girl and was full of expectations. Of course, one choice
This is what I hope for most, and I have to settle for the next best thing. The scores in the college entrance examination are equivalent to my own conditions, and then I use those conditions to pursue the girl I like. However, I am still very nervous during this process, because
I don’t know which school will take a fancy to me in the future. However, when the admission notice comes, I always feel a little regretful. Even if the school that admits me is my first choice, I will still have that feeling in my heart.
It's a pity. At that time, I thought to myself: It would have been better if I had applied for another university at that time. Haha! Tong Yao, isn't this marriage also like this? I am unknowable about the future, so I feel uneasy in my heart, but once that happens
When the day comes, I will feel at ease. Although I may still be a little dissatisfied, I will eventually continue along the path God has arranged for me. (.om pure text)"
She immediately laughed and said, "This is the first time I have heard the college entrance examination be used as a metaphor for marriage. It's funny, but I think what you said makes sense. So, can I understand it this way? In fact, you are very fond of Zhao Menglei and Chen Yuan.
None of them are particularly satisfactory. Is that so?"
I smiled bitterly, "How can anything in this world be 100% satisfactory? Zhao Menglei... She was my middle school classmate. I remember that I thought she was so beautiful when I was in high school, and I always secretly liked her, but at that time
I was too timid to tell her my love for her. But I never thought I would see her again after so many years... Hey! You know what happened next."
She asked me: "Have you ever thought about it? Did she do that thing because of you?"
I shook my head and said: "I have been thinking about this issue, but I don't think it is the case. For a woman, once she marries a man, she will not betray her marriage under normal circumstances.
Let alone doing something like that. It was obvious that the man had abused her for a long time. Of course, she has feelings for me, just like I like her, which is the basis for our marriage.
.But there are still some regrets in our hearts. For her, she may feel a little ashamed of me. After all, I never even had a relationship before marrying her. That’s why she would accommodate me in everything.
Even though she knew that I had done some things that I shouldn't have done, she pretended not to know. As for me, to be honest, I did feel a little unbalanced later on because she was married. Alas! Now that I think of this
I feel ashamed when I come here. I can’t bear to look back on the past.”
She sighed, "It seems that you have to think carefully before getting married, and don't be impulsive."
I shook my head and said: "How can we get married without impulse? Marriage is originally the product of impulse. The problem is that after the impulse, you should calm down and face your marriage, and you should not complain anymore. Between me and Zhao Menglei, including later
The biggest problem with Chen Yuan is here. Because they all have one thing in common, that is, they feel guilty. But what about me? But I am always dissatisfied and dissatisfied in my heart. So, now I have a deep feeling for them.
Deeply ashamed."
She put down her chopsticks, then held her cheek with one hand, and looked at me like this, "Feng Xiao, I can't tell that you still have the temperament of a philosopher. What you just said was so good."
I shook my head and said, "What kind of philosopher? A person will gradually understand after experiencing it, but by then it will be too late to regret."
She asked me: "Do you still hate your father-in-law now? Sometimes I think for you, if Lin Yi didn't force you to marry Chen Yuan, maybe the current situation would not be like this."
I shook my head, "I don't have the right to hate others. The person I should hate the most is myself. In the past, I was too absurd, and I have continued that absurdity to this day. Alas!"
She sighed softly.
I raised my glass to her, "Do you still drink?"
She was still holding her chin with her hand, and she was shaking her head, "I don't want to drink anymore, I want to listen to you."
I couldn't help but laughed, "Tong Yao, you look like a little girl, so cute. In fact, you are very cute, but you always like to pretend to be fierce. Haha! You are actually afraid of cockroaches! Originally, you are very cute.
I wanted you to help me today, but I ended up scaring you like that."
She suddenly took her hand away and said angrily: "You!"
I hurriedly said: "Forget it. Let's not talk about it. If you don't want to drink, just eat something. You made it yourself. If we don't finish it today, we will just throw it away tomorrow. What a pity."
She immediately shouted: "Don't pour it, you can still eat it tomorrow morning."
I said: "Let's go out to eat tomorrow morning. Breakfast is still porridge, steamed buns or something like that."
She said: "It's too wasteful. It seems that poor craftsmanship is also a waste. It's just like leaders who make wrong decisions and there will be huge waste."
I couldn't help but laughed again, "Tong Yao, you speak very well today."
She also smiled, "I learned this from you too. By the way, Feng Xiao, let me ask you a question, if you want to get married in the future, what kind of girl are you going to find?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "She's still a girl. It will be good to find a middle-aged woman from now on."
She burst out laughing, "I don't believe it. Don't I know you yet? No woman you know is ugly. Tell me, what do you want? Maybe I can do it for you.
Introduce."
I was silent for a moment, but an impulse suddenly surged in my heart.
She continued to ask me: "Feng Xiao, what's wrong with you? I'm not joking with you. I really want to know what your wife should be like."
I found that it was a little difficult for me to speak now, "Tong Yao, what about you? What do you think your future husband should be like?"
