Zhang Ling didn't wait for Li Xiang's answer for a while.
He urged with a "say" filled with anxiety and anger.
Li Xiang's body trembled because he thought of a reason that was not a reason.
So I could only bite the bullet and explain:
"Zhang Ling, you should know how mobile phone address books are generally sorted."
Zhang Ling said displeasedly:
"Let's get down to business. Why are you talking to me about this?"
Li Xiang said with firm eyes:
"This is business."
Zhang Ling said doubtfully:
"Is this business?"
Li Xiang nodded and explained:
"The address book is generally sorted in English alphabetical order. So in the children's address book, my names are sorted before yours. Naturally, when sending messages, I am the first choice."
Zhang Ling silently followed Li Xiang's words in her heart.
She arranged the names of the two people (including mom and dad) in order.
I found that she was indeed ranked behind Li Xiang.
It is most convenient to send messages to Li Xiang according to your habit.
She was basically convinced by this explanation.
That's why I said "Oh" when I stopped.
Li Xiang mistakenly thought that the storm would be over.
So I glanced at my watch out of habit.
A bit like a child.
He smiled naively and stroked his belly with one hand and said:
"Have eaten! I see it's still early. Let's look at the scenery nearby. There are green trees, rivers, lakes, etc. So the overall situation is pretty good. How about we go out for a walk and eat together?"
Although I'm not used to western breakfast.
But with the blessing of Li Xiang Games.
She did eat a little full today.
So I agreed to Li Xiang's proposal without too much hesitation.
When walking along the riverside path under the shade of trees towards the lake.
Along the way, you can often see some frogs that have not completely degenerated their tails active around the path.
If you look carefully at the river.
You can also see the grass wadding like green gauze.
There are countless unhatched black tadpole eggs scattered like black sesame seeds.
Zhang Ling happily pointed at the green grass in the river and shouted:
"Li Xiang, look! Those are tadpole eggs that are about to hatch. This kind of sight can no longer be seen in our fields near Wuchuan."
Li Xiang smiled and nodded and said:
"That's right! This is not caused by some experts."
Zhang Ling asked:
“What does this have to do with some experts?”
Li Xiang explained:
"Nowadays, Wuchuan rural areas do not allow farmers to burn straw. Then the eggs of pests attached to the straw cannot be effectively killed. As a result, the frequency of food being destroyed by pests in the second year is too high."
Zhang Ling said:
"Then use pesticides!"
Li wanted to say:
"Yes! In order to have a good harvest of the food grown, pesticides should be used. But farmers are using pesticides more and more frequently."
Zhang Ling said:
"Oh, I understand! When pests become resistant to pesticides, farmers use more and more concentrated pesticides. So it's a miracle that the frog survives!"
Li Xiang nodded and said with a somewhat nostalgic look:
"I think you could hear the noise of frogs in the summer in the suburbs and rural areas in the past. Especially after it rained, you could see frogs jumping in the yard, on the road, in the fields, etc. But now it is difficult to find traces of frogs even if you specifically look for them.
.”
Zhang Ling said curiously:
"I don't understand. Why are you specifically looking for traces of frogs?"
Li Xiang's face flashed with sadness as he explained:
"That's because grandma has been in the hospital ward for too long. She misses the sound of frogs in the countryside. So I thought of catching a few frogs and letting grandma listen to the sounds of frogs."
Zhang Ling shook her head in confusion and asked:
“What’s there to miss about the sound of a frog?”
Li Xiang smiled slightly and continued:
"I can't figure it out. When I lived in the countryside, I remember that my grandma had a hard time sleeping at night because she was disturbed by the sound of frogs. She wished she would never hear such sounds again in her life."
Zhang Ling also has a deep understanding of this.
For example, any sound in life can be considered as noise.
Then people will feel extremely irritated after hearing the noise.
It's like city dwellers taking a break.
There are people upstairs who often make strange noises erratically.
That’s why she nodded repeatedly and said:
"That's right! If anyone disturbs my rest, I will definitely argue with them. But it's not easy for humans to reason with animals."
Li Xiang continued:
"But when you get used to the sound of frogs, you can't hear it for a long time but you start to miss it again. This may be the contradiction between people sometimes."
Zhang Ling did not continue Li Xiang's topic.
Instead, he asked with some curiosity:
"So did you find the frog for grandma?"
She thinks this is grandma’s last wish!
No matter what, we have to find a way to complete it.
Li Xiang was silent for a while and slowly shook his head and said:
"No! However, I chose a place with the sound of frogs to bury grandma. This can be regarded as fulfilling grandma's last wish."
The place he was talking about was not the countryside near Wuchuan.
But their relatively remote mountainous hometown.
despite this.
Zhang Ling still feels very sorry.
A wish that was relatively simple and ordinary in the past.
But he couldn't achieve it during his lifetime.
I can only let my relatives make up for it with regrets.
This statement sounds really funny and ironic!
"grandmother?"
A sudden sound pierced the current sky.
Qi Diaozhe walked towards them like a ghost.
At the same time, he said with some curiosity:
"I seem to have heard Mr. Li talking about grandma just now. This is wrong! According to rumors, Mr. Li's relationship with grandma is not good. But why would Mr. Li be filial and look for frogs for grandma?"
Zhang Ling looked at Li Xiang with a hint of panic on her face.
But Li Xiang retorted calmly:
"Hasn't Master Qi heard that the rumors among the people are not trustworthy?"
Qi Diaozhe raised his hand and slapped his forehead, pretending to be sober, and said:
"Oh, blame me! You can forget this. Yes, the rumors are not trustworthy."
now!
Zhang Ling said with a look of boredom on her face:
"Qi Diaozhe, why do you appear in front of me again with such lingering ghosts?"
Qi Diaozhe just smiled at Zhang Ling and did not answer.
He looked at Li Xiang again and continued:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "However, as far as I know, Mr. Li's grandma seems to be an elegant lady who lives in the luxurious Li House. How can she be used to the croaking of frogs in the countryside?"
Zhang Ling heard the sound.
He also pretended to be a curious bystander and looked at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang still said without panic:
"Master Qi, you really know a lot about me. But, do you know the truth?"
Qi Diaozhe asked with a hint of self-doubt:
"Isn't it?"
Li Xiang shook his head and continued:
"My Li family has a lot of elderly people from my grandmother's generation. Are you sure we are talking about the same person?"
Qi Diaozhe looked at Li Xiang blankly and said nothing.
Yes!
He did forget this fact.
The Li family indeed has grandmothers who like to live in rural areas with beautiful mountains and rivers for their retirement.
And there are many such elders.
Therefore, it is difficult to guarantee that any of these elders have a close relationship with Li Xiang.
Think of this.
Qi Diaozhe explained with a hint of embarrassment in his smile:
"This... seems, probably, maybe not the same person. Sorry! It was me who was abrupt just now."
Zhang Ling first looked around to see if there were any fans of Qi Diaozhe.
Then he said in a slightly weird tone:
"Hey, I didn't see it. Master Qi would even take the initiative to apologize. This is a bit strange. It doesn't look like he was putting on a show."
This is a satire on Qi Diaozhe’s untruth!
But Qi Diaozhe didn't seem to understand what Zhang Ling meant.
So she looked at Zhang Ling seriously and explained:
"Zhang Ling, don't say that. Don't you understand me? I have always been the kind of person who knows his mistakes and can correct them."
Zhang Ling smiled and shook her head and said:
"It's funny! Do we know each other well? Qi Diaozhe, please remember that people will change. Since the moment you disappeared for more than ten years, we have not been familiar with each other."
Qi Diaozhe said with a bitter smile:
"I know. But please give me a chance to get to know each other again, okay? I promise this time..."
Qi Diaozhe hasn't finished speaking yet.
A "Shut up" interrupted the other person's narration.
Zhang Ling looked ferocious and then shook her head in disappointment and said:
"Master Qi, you have lived for decades in vain. Don't you understand that water cannot be recovered when it is overturned?"
Qi Diaozhe said seriously:
"I understand! It is difficult to recover the overflowing water, but it is not impossible. I just ask you to give me a chance. I will definitely work hard to recover the overflowing water."
Zhang Ling didn't expect Qi Diaozhe to say such shameless words.
To be honest, if Li Xiang is not by her side.
There was really a hint of the idea in her heart that she wanted to compromise and accept Qi Diaozhe.
That's because Zhang Ling really saw Qi Diaozhe's sincerity and determination towards her.
Li Xiang seemed to have read through Zhang Ling's mind.
He deliberately leaned into Zhang Ling’s ear and whispered:
"Zhang Ling, if you want to agree, then agree."
Zhang Ling turned around and looked at Li Xiang with surprised eyes.
Li Xiang did not restrain himself.
Instead, he continued to smile and whisper:
"To be honest, as a man, I was moved by the sincerity shown by Qi Diaozhe."
Zhang Ling swallowed her saliva and asked:
"are you serious?"
Although this sentence is a question.
But for Li Xiang, it is an affirmative sentence.
Does that mean no matter how he answers next?
There is only one answer.
So he didn't answer.
He just nodded slightly at her.
Zhang Ling felt Li Xiang's caution.
She also realized that she had just had thoughts that she shouldn't have had in her mind.
to this end!
She began to blame herself strongly in her heart.
How could she heal the scar and forget the pain when she blames herself?
What's more, the damage Qi Diaozhe caused to her has not yet healed.
Every time I meet Qi Diaozhe, I will unconsciously recall every torturous day and night in the past ten years.
It felt like someone deliberately reopened a freshly scabbed wound.
It was like trying to prove his existence with her bloody wounds.
How can such a selfish approach be worthy of the word "sincerity"?
So she glanced at Qi Diaozhe without any scruples.
Then he raised a finger and pointed at Qi Diaozhe, and deliberately asked Li Xiang loudly:
"Hey, you're not mistaken. Do you think the word 'sincerity' is really appropriate to apply to him?"
Zhang Ling's question stunned the two men present.
Qi Diaozhe's heart suddenly felt cold.
It felt like falling into an ice cellar and freezing.
His body began to tremble involuntarily.
Li Xiang showed some joy after being stunned.
He drew an important conclusion from Zhang Ling's answer.
That's because the ideas he just had were too ridiculous.
But in order not to let Zhang Ling feel that he was not serious.
So he immediately showed a serious look and shook his head and said:
"Of course I don't think it's appropriate. But if you think it's appropriate, Zhang Ling, I will agree with your point of view."
Zhang Ling shook her head and said:
"I thought you understood me. But I was wrong. You seem to have never understood me."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and glanced at the time on her watch.
I probably thought it was almost time to leave for the airport.
So I turned around angrily and walked back to the hotel.
Even though Li wanted to follow closely and ask her to wait for his explanation.
Zhang Ling never looked back.
Qi Diaozhe stood behind them and looked at their backs, revealing a smile of success.
That’s right!
The main purpose of Qi Diaozhe appearing next to Zhang Ling this time was to create a gap between them.
This will lay an important foundation for him to enter Zhang Ling's heart again.
Wuchuan Airport.
Zhang Ling walked in front.
Li Xiang followed closely with an anxious look on his face.
Because it starts from the moment we leave the lake.
Zhang Ling never wanted to say a word to Li.
Presumably this is a punishment for Li Xiang.
Wu Man, who pretended to be here to pick up the plane, appeared in front of them together with Yan Yuan.
Yan Yuan felt the tense atmosphere between the two.
So after the hug ended, I took Zhang Ling’s hand and looked at Li and wanted to say:
"Sisters, you went abroad together. Did something special happen? I feel like you look at each other strangely."
Wu Man glanced at the two of them deliberately and pretended to be confused and said to Yan Yuan:
"What's weird? When I look at them, they don't seem to be any different from before I left."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yan Yuan glanced at Wu Man with disdain and said:
"If you could see it, then the decades of sisterly love between Zhang Ling and I would be in vain!"
Wu Man asked inquiringly:
"Then please tell me in detail. What's strange between them?"
Yan Yuan explained with a sense of pride:
"Look! The way Zhang Ling looked at Li Xiang showed the strong hostility of an enemy. And the way Li Xiang looked at Zhang Ling showed the strong sense of expectation that family members who had been separated for a long time could reunite.
"
Finished.
What puzzled Yan Yuan was that Wu Man didn't refute anything.
Instead, he laughed happily.
However, Yan Yuan did not forget his purpose because of Wu Man's differences.
So Yan Yuan continued to chase and asked Zhang Ling to explain quickly.
Zhang Ling felt helpless and immediately restrained her hostility towards Li Xiang.
She quickly waved to Yan Yuan and looked at Li Xiang aside to ask:
"Have we?"
Li Xiang immediately shook his head and said:
"No."
Then he turned to look at Yan Yuan and said:
"I said, Yan Yuan, what's the matter with you? You're hoping that we won't get along!"
Yan Yuan is not willing to take the blame.
She denied to Zhang Ling with a bit of horror:
"no……"
Li Xiang had no intention of letting Yan Yuan explain.
So I deliberately raised my voice and said first:
"Zhang Ling, look what kind of friends you have made now. You have to keep your eyes open when making friends in the future! You don't want friends like this."
Wu Man looked at Yan Yuan who was struggling to explain and looked anxious.
A gloating smile appeared on her face.
He even joked a little bit to add insult to injury:
"Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan, you said that you and Zhang Ling have been friends for many years. Why do you need to explain such a trivial matter? In that case, don't explain it."
Yan Yuan is not stupid!
At first hearing Wu Man's gloating about his misfortune was really annoying.
But I kept Wu Man's words in my mind.
I understood immediately.
Aren't the words Wu Man just said a reminder to her?
It reminds me that the relationship between her and Zhang Ling is that one can understand each other's feelings without too much explanation.
So Yan Yuan said "thank you" to Wu Man a little abnormally.
Maybe Li Xiang's thoughts were focused on Zhang Ling.
That’s why I asked a little confused:
"Yan Yuan, why do you want to say thank you to Wu Man if you have nothing to do?"
