Chapter 91 I'm Worried About You Walking Alone at Night
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. One Saturday afternoon, I went shopping with my daughter to buy her two skirts suitable for midsummer.
We, mother and daughter, were chatting and laughing, walking slowly on the bustling commercial streets of this city. However, when we were about to step into a large shopping mall, as the saying goes, there are no coincidences. At this moment, we encountered the person we least expected to encounter.
The people, they are-Deng Wenliang and Yang Kexin.
He and Yang Kexin were standing in front of the parking lot of the shopping mall. Next to them was a white BMW car, which may have been the car that Deng Wenliang had recently purchased for Yang Kexin.
Because it is midsummer, Deng Wenliang is wearing a very refreshing white half-sleeved shirt today. The hem of the shirt is tucked into the waistband of his trousers. Below is a pair of silver-gray straight trousers. He looks young and handsome.
He seemed to be more than ten years younger than his actual age.
As for Yang Kexin, she wore a navy blue gauze skirt today. The sleeves and skirt were gently swaying with the breeze. Her black hair was spread behind her head. She looked very youthful and beautiful.
The two were chatting and laughing, and when the conversation got heated, Yang Kexin pretended to be angry and stretched out her hand to chase Deng Wenliang. Deng Wenliang ran briskly under the shopping mall window. Yang Kexin chased after him and patted him twice.
, Deng Wenliang hugged Yang Kexin, and the two of them laughed again.
Inside the large display window were colorful products of all kinds, and outside the display window was a pair of handsome men and beauties laughing and scolding. It was a seductive scene.
Obviously, Deng Wenliang and Yang Kexin didn't notice our mother and daughter at first, but later, Deng Wenliang still noticed us. The moment he saw us, he slowly let go of Yang Kexin in his arms.
Disturbed by his sudden daze, Yang Kexin, who was laughing, also followed his gaze and looked in our direction.
For a moment, our eyes met, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Deng Wenliang looked at us mother and daughter blankly, then he forced a smile and said to me: "Xiaoman, are you and Tongtong here to buy things today?"
I smiled faintly at him and didn't answer his idiotic question.
At this time, Yang Kexin, who had been watching our mother and daughter, withdrew her gaze, turned her gaze back to Deng Wenliang, took his arm, and said softly to him: "Wenliang, let's go?"
Deng Wenliang stared at us blankly. At this time, Yang Kexin called out to him, and then he suddenly turned around, nodded to her, and the two of them walked towards the white BMW car.
Tongtong had been glaring at the couple fiercely, and even her eye circles were a little red. She pursed her lips and glared at the couple as they left. Then she turned her head and gently held my arm.
Called: "Mom?"
I looked away from Deng Wenliang and Yang Kexin, smiled and patted my daughter on the shoulder, and said to her in a calm voice: "Mom, it's okay, let's go."
Seeing me like this, my daughter felt relieved, a smile broke out on her tight little face, she glared at them again, then she held my arm tightly and walked with me towards the mall gate with her head held high.
go.
When we pushed open the glass door of the shopping mall, I inadvertently turned around and saw Deng Wenliang, who was about to get in the car, still looking in our direction.
I didn't pay any more attention, Yun Danfeng smiled softly, pushed open the glass door, and walked in with my beloved Tongtong.
I know that my lovely daughter Tongtong is worried about my ability to bear it. You can tell by the cautious look in her eyes. Although I felt uncomfortable the moment I saw Deng Wenliang and Yang Kexin making love, but
, as a mother, I want to give my child confidence and let her understand that I can live a good life without the man who doesn't cherish me.
I think Deng Wenliang must be feeling pity for me now, thinking, we broke up only half a year ago, how come I have become so simple and unpretentious, no different from any aunt or sister setting up a stall on the street.
But only I know best. Although I am living in poverty now, my spirit is joyful and full. It is a hundred times or a thousand times better than living in the ivory tower Deng Wenliang built for me.
I want my daughter to understand this, so when I face my ex-husband and his lover again, my attitude is indifferent, so that my Tongtong will understand that her mother had
Her choice was not wrong, and she is very happy now.
***
My Malatang shop continues to operate in full swing. Although it is midsummer, this snack is still selling well. It is just a pain for us merchants, because standing in front of the hot shabu-shabu under the scorching sun is sweating.
The taste of rinsing those ingredients is not as refreshing as when eating spicy hotpot.
But what makes me gratified is that with the arrival of summer, my income has increased again, because as the weather gets hotter, everyone will inevitably buy some cold drinks or beer while eating Malatang, so I set aside some time for it.
A freezer holds these drinks and beers, and the quantity goes down very quickly. Fortunately, the alcohol and beverage wholesale departments deliver them to my door, so this is convenient for me.
Unknowingly, it had been a few days since I last saw Ye Xing. I thought he would never appear again, but I didn't expect that he would appear again on such a scorching day.
On that day, he was wearing a white cotton half-sleeved T-shirt with a pattern in the middle, a pair of off-white cropped summer pants, refreshing leather sandals on his feet, and a badminton racket in his hand.
He walked past my stall quietly and then slowly stopped.
The moment I saw him, I was stunned. After being stunned, I blurted out: "Why are you here again?"
He smiled faintly at me, then pointed to the alley behind with his racket, and explained softly to me: "Oh, I live in the back."
"Back there?" My almond-shaped eyes widened, I glanced at the direction he pointed, and then asked him coldly: "Aren't you renting a house with your classmates? Why did you come to live here again?"
Ye Xing smiled lightly again and murmured to me: "That has long been a thing of the past. My workplace is nearby and it is very convenient to rent a house here!"
Looking at his confident and confident expression, I was speechless. I didn't know what he was planning, and I wasn't prepared to find out. I felt that the best way for me to deal with him at the moment was to ignore him.
So, I started to lower my head to do my work and stopped stepping on him.
Ye Xing stood in front of my stall, lifeless, and slowly left.
Watching his leaving figure, Xiaomei came over again and whispered in my ear: "Sister Man, is that handsome guy here again?"
I reluctantly pursed my lips at her, made a smile, and didn't answer her.
Xiaomei winked at me, then turned around and went back to the store to greet the customers.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, I stood under the bus stop sign, waiting for the bus with many passers-by.
In summer, more people go out for activities at night. Even though it is already this time, there are still many people waiting for the bus.
The train finally came, and when I followed the crowds of people into the car and slowly walked toward the back of the car, I caught a glimpse of Ye Xing, who was sitting in the second-to-last row of the car.
It's strange, why did he take this bus? Doesn't he live nearby? So why did he take the bus so late?
I was puzzled, and at the same time, I thought I'd better ignore him. No matter where he goes for a tryst in the middle of the night, what does it have to do with me?
Although he saved me once, he also deeply hurt me before, so the relationship between us is purely a bad debt, so it is better not to have any entanglement.
So, I was originally going to sit in the back seat, but finally turned around and found a seat at the front of the car with my back to the window, so that I could look at the night view along the way without the discomfort of sitting in the back.
The influence of that enemy.
Sitting in the car, I was a little drowsy after a tiring day. When the bus suddenly stopped and announced the name of the stop where I wanted to get off, I suddenly woke up, then stood up and helped me
Holding the railing inside the car, walk from the front door to the bottom of the car.
I walked forward along the path back to the rental house, but as I walked, I felt like someone was following me.
When I walked, that person walked too. When I stopped, that person stopped too. Suddenly, I felt creepy in my heart, because I thought of that night when I was robbed again.
Although there are more people out for night excursions on summer nights than before, this matter has nothing to do with the current year. If I am kidnapped again, I am afraid it will not be so easy to escape.
I was so frightened that I hurried forward, trying to walk through the dark shade of the trees, but I felt that the footsteps of the person behind me also became hasty.
Forced to have no choice, I suddenly took out a fruit knife from my backpack. This was the shadow left after the last robbery. In order to effectively defend myself and avoid being hurt again, I prepared a fruit knife in my backpack.
.
I took the fruit knife, turned around suddenly, glared at the person following me, and shouted sternly: "Who?"
"Sister Man, it's me! Don't be afraid!" His familiar voice suddenly made my whole body relax. It was Ye Xing.
I sighed, put the fruit knife into my backpack, and looked at him a few meters away from me through the dim street light.
Under the mottled shade of the trees, his facial features were not very clear, but I could still recognize his familiar look.
"What are you going to do? Why are you following me?" After a long silence, I shouted at him.
"I..." He looked at me, murmured, and then said, "I don't trust you! You are a woman who always walks at night so late. What will you do if you get robbed again?"
There was a vibrato in his voice, and that vibrato showed that his feelings at this time were sincere.
