"Hey, uncle, I'm Jiaolong. How is Zhuo Jing? I encountered something. My phone fell into the river and I can't find it. This is Zong Bao's phone number. The dirt on Zhuo Jing's body..."
"Qiaoqiao, tell me first why you don't come."
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to go, it's that the situation at that time made it impossible to go. Can you tell me Zhuo Jing's condition first, and whether he is okay or not."
"Qilin has returned to normal work. The pendant you gave him was found with the help of Mr. Nan. He threw it into the office."
"Oh, that's good. I'm really afraid that something will happen to him."
"Are you really afraid? If you are really afraid, why didn't you come? Qiaoqiao, you let me down, you know. Although your sister-in-law said that something must have happened to you, I think you can't do anything.
We can't keep silent. Do you know that Qilin is the lifeblood of our family? I have been afraid that something will happen to him since he was a child. He would wake up and get sick again and again, but during the few minutes he was awake, he would bite him.
I didn’t say where I threw the sunbathing needle, I just asked you if you were here, if you were here, Qilin’s way of dealing with feelings is indeed a bit childish sometimes, but because of this, I feel that he treats you.
Seriously, but Qiao Qiao, you have to tell me what happened to you and why you didn’t come. I know it takes a lot of courage for you to be with him. Maybe you have your
I’m worried, but it’s such a big deal, does human life matter?”
This was probably the first time that my uncle got angry with me. He was anxious, and I felt uncomfortable in my heart.
"Uncle, I fell into the river, and then I didn't know anything..."
Would he believe me if I said I had been dead for seven or eight days?
"I don't want to hear this anymore. I called your parents. They said you were taking your grandpa to see people in the countryside. This time, not only did Qilin give up, I also felt that you two were not a good match, Qiao Qiao.
Ah, since you want to break off, let's just break it off. He is fine now and his work has returned to normal in the past two days. From now on, don't interfere with Qilin's life anymore. I will never allow anyone to hurt him.
.”
"Uncle, listen to me, if Mr. Nan goes, I think Mr. Nan will figure out the reason why I didn't go!!"
"I asked, but Mr. Nan didn't say much about your absence..."
how come--
"Qiaoqiao, I really wanted you and Qilin to be together before, but now Mr. Nan has said that the fate has not yet come, so I can't force it. I just want my nephew to be happy, so you can do it quietly.
, not only did he not come, but there was no call either. I lost my mind and so did Qilin. He locked himself in the room and was bored for two days. After he came out, I thought he might have figured it out and could eat and drink.
Go back to work normally, your sister-in-law also said, instead of both of us working so hard, just let it go."
"Uncle, I really didn't mean not to go, I..."
"Don't talk about this, it's all over. The important thing now is not the explanation, but that you have missed the best first time. Fortunately, Qilin is fine. Of course, I don't want anything to happen to you. I can't pick you up today."
I feel relieved when I get your call. Qiao Qiao, just let the two of you live your own lives. I have also thought about it in the past two days. My sister-in-law is indeed in a lot of trouble. Even if Qilin can listen to your explanation,
But many things in the future will still be very difficult. I don’t want to see my nephew do this again. Can you all be good? Trust me, you will all encounter better things."
"Little uncle, hello, little uncle..."
…
Slowly regaining consciousness, I looked at my grandfather and repeated: "The one I like is Zhuo Jing. The boyfriend Zong Bao mentioned also refers to Zhuo Jing."
This call was made to my uncle when I was changing clothes. The result was naturally bloody but it seemed to be expected. How the hell could Zhuo Jing let anything happen to him? He didn't even die when he was a child, and besides, their family is still alive.
I know a lot of onmyojis, so it's possible to save their lives, but the process is more painful. But my uncle's words made me feel that my explanation was so pale. It seemed like I was telling another ridiculous lie, and my uncle didn't even bother to listen.
But it's okay. At least he's fine. He can still go to work. However, I don't know if I will tell him some things. I know that the stronger a person's appearance is, the more fragile he is on the inside. In some aspects
, Zhuo Jing and I are really similar. We are both good at disguising ourselves and insisting on our opinions childishly. I think this time, Zhuo Jing must have built a high wall in his heart. I was sealed into the wall by him.
It's a heinous crime again.
It's just that I don't know if I have the courage to run and tell him everything. I want to go. I feel like I have done nothing wrong, but in the end I dare not think about it. Maybe he can accept my explanation, but there is a deeper level.
Accepting it, maybe he will collapse. This is probably the harm my uncle said. I messed up and left myself with nowhere to go.
"Zhuo Jing, who is Zhuo Jing?"
Grandpa listened to my words and looked at me with a slightly confused expression: "Who's name is Zhuo Jing?"
I lowered my eyes: "It was the boyfriend I dated before. Maybe you don't remember, but at that time..."
"It's no use to anyone! Anyway, I'm looking for Xiaobai!!"
Grandpa's sudden voice startled me, and Cheng Baize quickly comforted him: "Grandpa, this matter can't be rushed. Jiaolong and I have never thought about these things. Give her some time, this is a big matter of marriage..."
"Marriage matters must be decided by the family!" Grandpa suddenly became stubborn and looked at Cheng Baize: "Xiao Bai, grandpa wants to ask you, if Jiaolong gives it to you, will you marry her or not, and will you treat her well!!"
Cheng Baize looked at me again, then looked at grandpa: "Grandpa, of course I will be good to her."
I know that Cheng Baize's purpose is to make my grandpa happy, and I feel the same way, but only feelings are not good. Whether it is true or false, I can't make my marriage a trivial matter. Besides, this is unfair to Cheng Baize!
"That's okay, Xiaobai, you go to bed and rest first. Grandpa has something to talk to Jiaolong, so you go out first."
"good."
Cheng Baize nodded and gave me another look when he stood up, telling me not to make my grandpa unhappy. I didn't respond and just sat there with my neck stiffened. I can agree to anything, but I definitely can't do this.
When Cheng Baize went out, grandpa woke up Zong Bao and Li Xiaoshi again and asked them to go out. When everyone was gone, grandpa looked at me and cleared his throat: "Jiaolong, grandpa is a person who has been here before, so I will just follow you.
Tell me, the guy you are talking about is called Zhuo. Grandpa thought about it and got some impression. Isn’t he the one whose family is rich? Grandpa’s head is indeed useless, but he is not that old fool yet.
Come on, why is your aunt displeased with you? It seems to be related to that boy. Grandpa won’t say anything else, nor what is that Zhuosha person like. I’ll just ask you a few things. Tell me, that
What did the boy do for you?"
My eyes slowly turned red: "I did a lot, I can't remember."
"Well, grandpa continues to ask you, where is he when you are not angry anymore? You have been lying down for so many days. Where are the others? Why is Xiaobai busy with other things? Without Xiaobai, you can still wake up.
Come here, let alone you are gone in this world, even grandpa is gone. He saved your life, and he also saved grandpa's life. You girl, you don't know it!"
I opened my mouth slightly: "Grandpa, you really misunderstood my relationship with Cheng Baize. We are like brothers and sisters. He and I..."
"Nonsense! Where does the relationship between brother and sister come from if they are not relatives? Why do people treat you so well! We can't take advantage of other people's feelings!"
Grandpa was angry: "You said, don't talk about this time, just talk about Xiaobai's feelings for me. As long as I call him, I won't say hang up and he won't hang up. In the past two years, you said he is sick."
He still didn't come to see me, but before, I could forget what I had for my last meal, but I didn't forget him. He knew that I liked growing flowers, and he bought me one or two pots every time he came to see me.
I also deliberately learned from me. The young and old people like to serve flowers and plants. Even you can't calm down and accompany me to plant flowers, but Xiaobai can do it! As long as I make a call, Xiaobai will be there immediately. What kind of friendship is this?
Ah, Jiaolong, we can't behave like this, we can't bully others."
I was so aggrieved by what my grandpa said that my chest was so tight that I couldn't control the tears pouring out: "Grandpa, I really can't do it with him. I have someone I like, and I still want to marry him. Isn't that cheating others?"
Besides, I’m not suitable for marriage. The worst is, I won’t be able to follow anyone. My grandma has already told me to leave me alone..."
"Can I rest assured that you are alone? Do I have to see you helpless that day when I close my eyes? Your parents are not as caring as Xiaobai! Jiaolong, listen to grandpa,
He will definitely not betray you. It doesn’t matter who you like. I only met your grandma a few times before we got married. We had a pretty good life in those decades. Find someone who cares about you and treat yourself as your own.
It's not easy. You will know later. It's hard for you to have the surname of Zhuo.
There are no elders to pressure you, so where can you find such conditions! Don’t be stupid, my dear girl!!”
I was depressed, I was really depressed, "Grandpa! Please don't force me, okay! I'll say it again, it's impossible for me and him!!"
"Then you are going to make grandpa mad! Unless you disown me! Otherwise, you must get married to me this Spring Festival!"
"I don't!!"
I stood up in a hurry: "I can rely on you in anything, and I can listen to you in everything, but this won't work, it will ruin both of us! I regard him as a friend and as a brother! I will feel like myself when I get married.
I'll be sorry for him for the rest of my life for hurting him! And I still have objections to marriage, how could I marry him! Something will happen to him!"
"Xiaobai knows how to break!" Grandpa glared at me: "You are shouting at me!"
My lips trembled twice, I bent my legs, and with a 'pop' sound, I knelt down directly on the ground: "Grandpa, please don't force us to do this. You're really going to cause Cheng Baize this."
I’m troubled. You scare me. Believe me. No matter what happens in my life, whether I’m with the one I love or alone, I will take good care of myself. Grandpa, I beg you.
Stop talking about this."
Grandpa looked at me for a long time, then covered his chest with a painful look on his face, and looked at me: "You kid... You kid..."
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" I stood up in a hurry to rub his chest, but grandpa stretched out his hand and pushed me over: "You kid, you are not sensible, you are just kidding, you are really ignorant..."
