"It's normal." The beautiful woman was very kind and served her a bowl of soup. "Girl, what's your name?"
"Jiang Ningyu."
"Jiang Ningyu?" the beautiful woman said with a smile, "I seem to have heard of this name." She noticed Lin Xuyue raised her head suddenly, her eyes hurried and embarrassed, and then continued slowly, "Maybe it's a nice name."
, it all sounds familiar.”
Jiang Ningyu kept looking at him from the corner of her eye, and naturally noticed something strange about him. But their relationship was so good at the time, so it was normal for him to mention it to his parents...
She smiled just right and explained naturally, "Well, Lin Xuyue and I were high school classmates. When we were abroad, we even visited his uncle's house as a guest."
The beautiful woman suddenly said, "No wonder, it was his uncle who mentioned it." She paused, "I am Lin Xuyue's mother, and the person next to me you have seen is his father. Those two,
It's Lin Xuyue's uncle and aunt. His aunt was here just now, and now she goes to the mourning hall."
Jiang Ningyu nodded politely, "Hello."
Lin Xuyue's mother was very good at talking, and her talkativeness almost revealed her son's past. When she started to mention that her son had been naughty in climbing trees and building birdhouses to hatch eggs when he was a child, Lin Xuyue finally felt that she couldn't hold on to her face anymore.
He said aloud, "Don't you have anything else to talk about?"
Lin's mother then gave him a face and mentioned something else.
The dinner was quite harmonious. After the meal, Lin Xuyue took her to the yard and said to her, "It's a bit late today. I'll book a hotel for you and go back tomorrow morning."
He had returned to his normal attitude, looking at her with neither hatred nor love. The weak night light slowly moved under his eyes, but there was something dark that could not be seen through.
Jiang Ningyu silently canceled the online car-hailing ride to the high-speed rail station and nodded "ok".
…
However, Jiang Ningyu was not in a hurry to go back the next day.
She took a day off and watched them carry the coffin for the funeral from a distance in the morning. In the afternoon, she went to the cemetery to find Lin Xuyue. He sat alone by the tombstone in a very casual posture, with an open bottle of beer in his hand.
, I could see him moving his lips from a distance, as if he was talking to himself or talking to the tombstone.
When he saw Jiang Ningyu, he didn't show any surprise or surprise, and skipped all the politeness. He just glanced at her and asked, "I'll sit down for a while and then go back. Are you coming with me?"
These words sounded like inquiries. Jiang Ningyu couldn't help but sit cross-legged next to him and said softly, "Okay. How was your rest last night? Are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine." Lin Xuyue shook her head, "I just thought about a lot of things. People are destined to face separation in their lives, including life and death, and..." He didn't say any more, and there was silence for a while.
But even if he didn't say it clearly, Jiang Ningyu also understood.
"Every time you mentioned your grandma before, I always thought, how could there be such an interesting person in the world? I always wanted to meet her." She looked at the tombstone and smiled, "Now I have met her."
"Do you think she saw you?"
Although she didn't know why he asked this question, Jiang Ningyu still nodded, "I must have seen it."
Lin Xuyue said, "But I am a materialist and I don't believe in that."
Jiang Ningyu was made dumbfounded by him.
Suddenly he spoke again, "They said that grandma has been ill for several years and is now free. But every time I come back, she is always in high spirits. Last time she even performed a watermelon splitting with her bare hands for me..." Speaking of this
A helpless and lonely smile appeared on his lips, "Mom and others have known about it for a long time, so they kept it secret from me for fear that I would be distracted outside. Grandpa was so sad that he went to the hospital two days ago. I was thinking...
…When he gets better, take him to live with me.”
No wonder he didn't see his grandfather. With the question in his heart answered, Jiang Ningyu breathed a sigh of relief and tried to understand the reason why he said these words to her. Maybe it was because he was too sad, and there were thousands of words in his heart that he couldn't bear.
Just keep talking, no matter who that person is.
"That's good." Jiang Ningyu thought for a moment and said for him, "However, how many square meters is the house you live in now? If it's too young, some girls now mind living with their elders, so they may not be able to understand you.
Because of our filial piety, we will easily have conflicts when we get together in the future, so it is better to rent another apartment nearby."
"It's not big." Lin Xuyue said slowly, "It's only about three hundred square meters, a duplex."
"...Are you in Versailles?" Jiang Ningyu was a little helpless, "But why are you renting such a big house? It's not..." She suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
Yes, what if he lives with his girlfriend? Although there is always an intuition that he is single, at this age, the development of relationships is always rapid and sudden. It may be because of a meal or a feeling.
further development.
A female colleague in her team is in a lightning relationship, and she got the certificate within three months of knowing her husband.
"What's it not?" Lin Xuyue asked.
"No, I admire you for taking precautions." Jiang Ningyu twitched her lips, trying to find a lighter topic. Unexpectedly, he quickly said, "The house is not for rent. I picked up the lottery before returning to China and won. I paid for it."
The down payment, the balance paid by the parents, all in one lump sum.”
"...What does your family do?" Jiang Ningyu clicked her tongue.
"Mom runs a hospital and dad works as a translator."
"No wonder Mom..." She almost said the wrong thing according to his words. She straightened her tongue, "No wonder your mom was so calm yesterday. I lack this kind of common sense. It seems like..." Finally found a relaxing topic, she
When I raised my energy, I wanted to rely on medical knowledge, but I didn't know enough and couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
Lin Xuyue, on the other hand, looked at her troubled and painful look, and there was a faint smile in her tone, "It is said that touching the scene can cause sadness...Jiang Ningyu, you appeared so suddenly, are you not afraid of arousing my sadness?
Or do you mean you don’t care at all?”
When he mentioned such sharp words, his tone was indifferent. It was always like this, and he didn't know where to go.
For a moment, many kinds of reactions flashed through Jiang Ningyu's mind. She pretended to be dumbfounded, or she blamed Lu Li and acted innocent, or she acted coquettishly and told lies like before. There was always one of them that he would eat.
.
But she was silent for two seconds and asked seriously, "Will my appearance bother you?"
"A little."
"Then I understand." Jiang Ningyu raised a smile, "I won't do it again." She didn't know that she appeared suddenly.
Lin Xuyue wanted to say something else, but her cell phone rang. It was from Lu Li, asking when he was leaving.
During the two-hour drive, Jiang Ningyu sat in the back seat, listening to their chats from time to time, and she was unusually silent.
