Cheng Baize's cell phone ringtone sounded slightly abruptly in the lonely but smoky air. I looked at the lighted up cell phone screen, and the word 'Grandpa' displayed on it made my heart tremble slightly.
Is it telepathy? My grandfather actually called Cheng Baize at this time?
Cheng Baize took a step forward, which allowed me to see his pale face and the pain in his eyes through the candlelight. He definitely didn't want to kill me. At this moment, I also had mixed feelings in my heart. Of course I didn't want to die, at least.
I don't want to die like this. If I die, what will happen to my grandfather? But if Cheng Baize is not on guard, then I will definitely die.
He reached out and picked up the phone, "Hey, grandpa."
I was a little stunned. I didn't expect him to pick up the phone. My heart felt a little uncomfortable as he remembered his grandfather.
"Xiao Bai, you know that Jiaolong has gone to the city."
My grandpa's voice on the phone was directly heard in my ears. I lowered my eyes, looked at the red wine in the glass in front of me, and bit my lip gently.
"Ok, I know."
"Oh, her phone was turned off, maybe out of battery. I called her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law said she was going to see a friend tonight, and she came back after seeing her friend, but I can't find her now.
, I couldn’t get through to Zong Bao when I called her. I know she’s in the city and she’s worried about you. Did she come to see you? Do you know where she is?”
"I know."
Cheng Baize replied firmly, looking at me: "She is here with me."
I raised my eyes and looked at him. The complexity in his eyes prevented me from reading the real content, but I simply passed on a message, Cheng Baize, since I am your only friend, do you really have the heart to kill me?
'I can't bear it, but I have no other choice.'
My heart tightened, and I looked into his eyes and nodded, OK, I understand.
"Grandpa, do you want to say a few words to Jiaolong?"
"Stop talking, as long as she's fine, Xiaobai, please take care of her. You can take her to play in the city for two days and then come back. I don't worry about her being with you. Go to bed early.
, Don’t be too late, tell Jiaolong not to worry about me. We turn to her for everything at home now. She is the backbone of our family now. The child is too tired now. You tell her to take this opportunity to relax.
Oh my god, Xiaobai, grandpa will leave Jiaolong to you, go to sleep, go to sleep, I’m going to die now.”
"Grandpa..."
"Ah, what's the matter? Is there anything else?"
Cheng Baize looked at me and responded: "Do you really think I can take good care of Jiaolong?"
"Of course, grandpa cares about you. Grandpa also knows how much you care for Jiaolong. Even though he is old, he is also someone who has been here. It is not easy for you to guard Jiaolong and let her do whatever she wants. Grandpa certainly can't.
Let you guard in vain, and Jiaolong will have to give you an explanation for everything you say in the future. The two of you will become my own grandfather. Hey, grandpa, isn't it a little too early to say this..."
I covered my mouth with my hand, and tears flowed silently from my eyes. Grandpa’s voice made me feel sour in my heart. Some of the words sounded ridiculous to me before, but at this moment, I felt sad. If grandpa knew about him,
The person I thought I could trust for the rest of my life waited for me to end this call after hanging up the phone. My grandfather must have been heartbroken.
One wrong step, one wrong step after another. I always thought that it was because I drank a drop less of blood that I was in this situation today. Looking at it now, even if An Qi hadn’t set the fire, I would have been doomed. But, I did
The biggest mistake I made was to choose to come to the city to escape, and just like that I stepped into the whirlpool.
In this city, I came into contact with two men. One of them gave me a complete heart, but what he gave me back was incomplete. I was so injured that I was almost broken into pieces, while the other one wanted to die directly.
The friend who took my life and thought he could support you for the rest of his life turned out to be holding a dagger against your waist.
Haha, it’s all my sorrow, I hate the heaven for why it only makes me suffer, what great evil has I, Ma Jiaolong, done!
"Okay, no more chatting. Why hasn't the girl made any movement? Did she take a rest?"
"Oh, she went to the bathroom."
"Okay, I don't have anything to do. Just hang up. Xiaobai, you've taken the trouble."
"Grandpa, you should also take a good rest."
"Hey, I'm sorry. It's best that you come back with Jiaolong. Grandpa misses you."
As I said that, I heard no sound on the other end of the phone. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing because my ears are so good, because every time I eavesdrop as an adult, it makes people feel uncomfortable, as if there is a piece of wood used to ring a bell.
It hits your heart hard one after another, just waiting for a 'bang' sound, either an explosion or death.
Standing up, I walked directly to the wall, fumbled with my hand and turned on the light switch in the office with a 'click' sound. The light that suddenly came on was slightly dazzling for a while. I held the wine glass with my back to Cheng Baize and held it.
The switch slowed down for a long time, and only Cheng Baize's voice could be heard faintly: "Turn off the light."
I didn't respond, but gritted my teeth and forced out a smile, and looked back at him: "What color is the light on my head?"
Cheng Baize didn't answer, just looked at me with his lips tightly pursed. Under the light, his face, which was so white that it seemed to be oozing, was extremely clear——
I took another deep breath and looked into his eyes. I knew he was struggling, but I could only take a gamble. In my mind, I remembered what I said when I was doing divination outside the door: "In a flash of blood, disaster will come."
From now on, there is no solution to the calamity in my mind, it all depends on one thought.'
Now I understand, whether I live or die depends on his thoughts. He moved the wine glass in front of him: "Cheng Baize, I know, it's useless to say anything. In this case, then I just
Please help me take care of my grandpa. He is sick now, but one day he will forget me. I used to be afraid that he would forget me, but now, I hope he can sleep for a while.
He can forget me when he sleeps, promise me, and help me take good care of him. It is all thanks to him and grandma that I am alive today. I can go down to accompany my grandma, but he has not enjoyed my blessing yet. I
I entrusted him to you, as well as my family, and I also entrusted him to you..."
As soon as I finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly rose outside the window, and the curtains were blown high. The books on Cheng Baize's desk were also blown up, turning the pages. I looked at the dark sky outside the window, and for a few seconds,
A streak of purple lightning resembling a tree trunk twisted and twisted in the night sky, making a "ka-ka" sound. In an instant, heavy rain fell like stones, and the glass of the window seemed to be hit by raindrops at any time.
Rotten, making a sharp and crisp sound.
I looked up at Cheng Baize, and with the sound of thunder and rain, I smiled softly: "I'm glad to meet you. Thank you for your help. Originally I didn't know how to repay you, but now I know how to do it.
I won’t force you. I also know that as a friend, you treat me sincerely. I don’t regret knowing you. We are destined to meet you again.”
After saying that, I raised my head and poured the wine directly into my mouth. Life is so joyful, and death is so painful. Since I can't escape, it's not a big deal if I lose the bet!
"Jiaolong...Majiaolong!"
He suddenly shouted my name and raised his hand towards me. (To be continued)
