Zhuo Jing followed my outstretched hand and pulled me into his arms. The moment he kissed me, he heard Aunt Wang's frightened voice: "Mr. Zhuo, your father and mother are here..."
I held back most of my tears and looked at Zhuo Jing: "You, parents..."
Zhuo Jing wiped my tears helplessly, "Don't be nervous, you have to meet your parents-in-law."
My scalp felt numb for a while, and what I was most afraid of was coming. I admit that I was impulsive because I really couldn't let it go, but suddenly his parents came, and I wasn't prepared for it.
When I was pulled downstairs by Zhuo Jing, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I took it out and took a look. It was a text message from Zong Bao, 'Did Zhuo Jing find you? I got a DNA test to test him. He
I didn't disappoint you, how about my assist.'
If time and circumstances hadn't allowed it, I really wanted to give Liu Zongbao one right away, hide it, and I'd give you a discount on your legs if I caught him!
After walking to the living room, I saw Zhuo Yuncheng and Jiang Meiyuan saying hello. I was still a little uncomfortable and wanted to break off Zhuo Jing's hand that was holding me tightly. Unexpectedly, Zhuo Yuncheng looked at me and walked towards me with a natural look.
He smiled cordially and said, "Long time no see, Qiao Qiao."
I hummed, smiling politely with tears on my face, but my hands were still secretly competing with Zhuo Jing.
"Your aunt and I know that you are here specifically to see you, otherwise we don't know when we will have to wait until the next time we meet. Qiaoqiao, we are going to live with your sister-in-law for a long time. From now on, Qilin, I will ask you to take care of me.
…”
"Um?"
I didn't react at the moment, "Uncle, are you and aunt going abroad?"
Zhuo Yuncheng nodded and looked back at Jiang Meiyuan, who had been sitting there without looking at me, and said, "Your aunt is not in good health, and we have both thought about going there to retire. You young people should go and visit us when you have time."
…”
The hand held by Zhuo Jing was still very tight, but I didn't realize what was going on. Zhuo Yuncheng also said some words to encourage Zhuo Jing and me to take care of each other in work and life, but he didn't mention his previous taboos at all.
It was not until Jiang Meiyuan finally raised her head and said that she felt uncomfortable and wanted to go back to rest that she walked up to me and opened her mouth softly, "Qiao Qiao, you still need to discuss it with us after the date is set. Of course, our main priority is to respect
Your opinions.”
"Day, aunt, this..."
Jiang Meiyuan held the corner of her mouth to signal me not to say more: "Don't mention the past again. Of course we old ones hope that the younger ones will be better. Yuncheng, let's go back..."
When Zhuo Jing's parents left, I was so stupid that I didn't come back to my senses. I didn't say anything more and just decided on the date?
"Zhuo Jing, your parents..."
"Are you still worried?"
I shook my head like a rattle: "Why is it so sudden? I am intersex, your parents..."
"Report, I am an intersex husband, is that okay?"
When I looked at Zhuo Jing's appearance, I suddenly couldn't help laughing, and I hugged his neck, but the tears of laughter flowed out again.
What a waste, you just cry every time!
…
"Ms. Yuan? Jiaolong, are you the person who has been waiting in line to meet Brother Cheng, Ms. Yuan!!?"
Looking at Xiao Shu's surprised face, I smiled and nodded: "It's me. I asked my friend to call you. I'm mainly afraid that if I come in my own name, Cheng Baize won't see me."
Xiao Shu was still in a state of surprise and did not react. She opened her mouth instinctively: "How could it be possible? Brother Cheng will definitely meet you..."
"Don't tell him that I'm here, just tell me where he is waiting for the victim, and I will just go in and see him..."
In the season of early October, the autumn wind was unusually refreshing. I followed Xiao Shu, who was wearing a minority costume, and walked into Brother Qi's wide door again. Xiao Shu held my arm and chanted to me, "Jiaolong."
, you should have told me in advance, if Master Qi knew you were coming, he would definitely not go out."
I smiled slightly and didn't say much. When I got the call from Xiao Shu when I came back from Luomen Ridge, I kept thinking about how to come to see Cheng Baize. Later I felt that the most appropriate way without fear of his absence was to let him go.
Xiaoni called and pretended to be the person making the appointment, so Cheng Baize would definitely be there.
I didn't walk far into the courtyard, and in a pavilion on a waterside pavilion, I immediately saw Cheng Baize, who was sitting there sipping tea with his back to us. He was dressed in white clothes. Looking at his back, he looked much thinner.
Xiao Shu opened her mouth in a low voice: "You can go by yourself. The weather is not very cold now. Brother Cheng likes to sit there and chat with the victim."
I nodded and looked at Cheng Baize's back as he slowly walked in. When he walked into the waterside pavilion, Cheng Baize turned around and said, "Ms. Yuan, you're here..."
The steps stopped, and I stared blankly at his black and white eyes, raised my hand, and shook it slightly...
"Ms. Yuan?"
He seemed to be looking at me, still smiling, and the familiar dimples were still unusually obvious.
I covered my mouth hard, afraid that I would cry out, and slowly walked up to him, carefully looking at his still clear eyes and friendly facial features...
Cheng Baize's face moved slightly towards me, and then he said with a smile: "Jiaolong... It's you who is here, but you still love to cry..."
I collapsed immediately, "You...you..."
He pointed at his heart: "I can see clearly, you must be crying very ugly now."
"I thought you wouldn't want to see me, I was afraid you wouldn't see me..."
Cheng Baize was still smiling: "I have always been here. As long as you want to come, you will see me. Give me a hug, sister..."
I cried and stretched out my arms to hug him, "Brother...brother..."
When I had finished crying, I raised my eyes and looked at his face carefully. From the moment I saw him, he had a light smile on his face, "Are you looking at me again?"
"Well, you've become more handsome."
"And you."
"I've become ugly..."
Cheng Baize shook his head with a smile: "The Magdalena in my mind will not be ugly... By the way, I will take you to see the flowers. They are in the backyard. They are blooming very beautifully this season."
"Look at the flowers..."
I followed him in a daze, and wanted to reach out to help him several times, but he was obviously very familiar with every plant and tree here. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't even realize that he couldn't see.
I have seen a large open space in the backyard before, and I also know that there are poison urns buried underneath. It’s just that there were no flowers when I came here last time. Looking at it now, it’s really colorful and not too expensive that I haven’t seen before.
, cosmos, a very lively and festive flower.
"It looks good..."
"Um."
Cheng Baize's expression was indifferent as if he was looking at the sea of flowers in front of him: "Grandpa, are you okay?"
"good."
"And you."
"I am fine too……"
He didn't say much, he looked in the direction of the cosmos, and I looked at his profile. Many words seemed to be stuck in my throat. I wanted to say them, but couldn't. Finally, I gave up and just looked at him like this.
, just watch him doing well.
He should have been able to feel my gaze. After a while, he just gently raised the corner of his mouth: "Do you still remember the password I once told you?"
"Remember."
"Do you know the meaning?"
I sniffed and remembered the meaning of the English letters after the string of numbers. I looked at him and shook his head, "I don't think I can figure it out. You know I'm stupid."
He smiled, and looked at me with his dimples in his smile, his eyes falling on my face very precisely, "It's better to be stupid, because the numbers on the password didn't do it for me, but I think
, someone will do it.”
I pursed my lips hard and held his hand, "Cheng Baize, you have to be good, really..."
"ring……"
He touched the ring on my ring finger very keenly: "Are you married?"
"Not yet, maybe next year."
"I'm getting married."
I was a little dazed, looking at his faint smile, "Are you with Xiao Shu?"
"Um."
My eyes were a little wet, I smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Cheng Baize took a deep breath, "It's a hard process to wait for someone who doesn't love you. Maybe you are happy and cautious at first, but in the end, you don't know when it will become contrary to you. At first, you just wanted to be innocent.
I have good intentions for someone, and I don’t want her to continue to work hard. Even if I can no longer give her too much, I will be responsible for her. As you said, I can’t be the same as in my previous life, Jiaolong, sometimes I really
I’m glad I can’t see anymore…”
I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say except that my cheeks were moist and warm.
"Now I can see what I want to see at any time. Do you know when I really realized that I was destined to be wrong?"
"when."
"When you closed your eyes in front of me and let me kill you with my palm, it was at that moment that I suddenly knew that one day I would be doomed and would make the same mistake again and again."
"But I don't blame you...you always..."
"I know."
Cheng Baize nodded, "The past is in the past. I have always felt that I was wandering, but now, I want to take root. Jiaolong, don't come again. Forget the bad, only remember the good. In this life,
I hope that both of us can go on safely."
After saying that, he walked directly towards the back door of the house. I followed a few steps. When I saw his footsteps stopped, he turned to look at me and said, "If I see you again in the next life, I hope it will be the earliest."
He is no longer an elder brother... He should be waiting for you. Come back, I want to rest." (To be continued)
