Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 8991: Red cherries, green bananas (10)

Xiao Sisi shook his head: "It doesn't matter. When I lived in the orphanage, I often played on the floor with the children. I'm used to it."

Xiao Xisi hit the floor very quickly.

In summer, the ground was not cold, so she directly laid out a blanket, took a pillow, and slept with her clothes on.

Under the incandescent lamp, Xiao Mingzhang stared at her for a long time.

In a strange environment, Xiao Mingzhang was not sleepy at all.

He was sitting alone at his desk writing a report. The tip of his pen rubbed against the white paper, making a subtle "rustling" sound. The village was filled with the sound of insects on a summer night.

Ningshen incense is burning slowly, and the green smoke is floating away.

This incense relieved Xiao Mingzhang's headache.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Xisi turned over and muttered: "Don't come over."

Xiao Mingzhang stopped the pen in his hand and looked at Xiao Xisi with a deep look in his eyes.

"Killing for life is a matter of course."

Xiao Mingzhang:?

What is she saying?

Xiao Xi's brows were furrowed, as if he was having a nightmare, and his face turned pale.

"Don't come over! Don't come over, none of you!"

"Crazy, they are all crazy!"

It was quiet everywhere, and Xiao Mingzhang clearly heard what she said in her sleep. Was she having a nightmare?

On the ground, the statue seemed to be curled up in a ball, and the whole figure looked like a very small cat, with a face full of pain.

Xiao Mingzhang stood up, bent down and carried her to the bed.

You have to be stubborn. It’s not good to sleep on the bed. Do you have to sleep on the floor?

Xiao seemed not to be awake, clutching the quilt tightly with both hands, muttering to himself: "You will have your retribution."

Xiao Mingzhang shook his head and put down the mosquito net for her.

Summer in the mountains is very quiet, especially late at night, so quiet that you can hear your own breathing.

Xiao Mingzhang worked at his desk, and when he was tired, he lay on the table and took a nap.

The incense of tranquility burns little by little.

While taking a nap, Xiao Mingzhang dreamed of a vague outline of a girl.

Most of the people in his dreams were the ones he had seen three years after the accident, but the outline of this girl... was unfamiliar to him.

Later, he carved a wooden sculpture following his dream.

He didn't recognize the girl on the wood carving.

Today, he dreamed of that girl again.

This time, the girl in the dream spoke for the first time and called him "brother", but he didn't respond and strode forward.

The girl called him "brother" from behind, her voice hoarse, but he didn't look back.

"elder brother……"

Xiao Mingzhang woke up suddenly and rubbed his temples.

Looking up, he was still at the village chief's house on the mountain, and he had just dreamed of that girl again.

Who are the girls? When Xiao Qiaoqiao was a teenager? After all, only Xiao Qiaoqiao had ever called him "brother."

If you look back in your dream, can you see clearly what the girl looks like?

Xiao Mingzhang picked up the cup and took a sip of cold water. He looked at the watch on his hand and saw that it was already past four in the morning.

Already sleepy, he stood up and walked outside.

The stars are thousands of miles away, the mountains are rolling, and the mountain village under the huge night is like a dormant beast, clinging to the rolling mountains.

The wind was very cold late at night. Xiao Mingzhang put on his suit jacket and sat quietly on the stone bench in the yard.

There was darkness hidden in the man's deep and calm eyes. He looked into the distance, but couldn't see anything.

The layers of mountains gave Xiao Mingzhang a huge sense of familiarity.

Has he been here? When did you come?

As soon as doubts popped into my mind, my head started to hurt vaguely.

Xiao Mingzhang smiled lightly and didn't think any further.

Things in the past are in the past, there is no need to think about them deliberately.

The doctors said that it was impossible for him to remember the past.

He had read the file given to him by the housekeeper, and it seemed that there was nothing outstanding about him since he was a child. He was adopted by the Xiao family at a young age, went to school, studied abroad, and returned home to take over his career.

An ordinary life.

The evening breeze blew through Xiao Mingzhang's handsome and cold face. The profile of the man's face was hidden in the night, his forehead was blown by the wind, and under his thick and long eyelashes was a pair of deep eyes, looking out over the mountains and fields, calm and restrained. …

On Sunday evening, Xiao Mingzhang drove Xiao Sisi back to the laboratory building.

Xiao Si seemed to have found the herbal medicine she was looking for, and she also wrote a thick stack of experimental reports.

"Mr. Xiao, thank you for sending me back. It's going very smoothly."

"Ah."

The man did not leave immediately, but sat in the front seat and flipped through the report.

He didn't leave, and Xiao seemed to have trouble driving him away. She sat in her seat and continued working.

There were only two of them in the huge laboratory.

A ray of sunset slanted on the window glass.

It was getting late, and Xiao Mingzhang's cell phone rang. It was his adoptive father Xiao Lang.

"Mingzhang, come to Hanhai Hotel. Dad will introduce some friends to you."

"Ah."

"Wait for you."

Xiao Mingzhang frowned, put away his phone, leaned on his seat tiredly, and didn't speak for a long time.

He just sat there, motionless.

I don't know how long it took before Xiao Mingzhang picked up the car keys and left the laboratory building.

Xiao Xixi stared at his back, only to see the afterglow of the sunset falling on his white shirt, and his back was cold and lonely.

As soon as he left, Xiao seemed to take out the medicine.

She took a sample from the drug, and then dissolved the drug in the reagent, staring at the reagent with a pair of bright eyes.

Dissolve, sample, decompose, and finish it all smoothly, just like pouring out the reagent in the cup.

She took off her gloves and it was time to go to dinner.

No overtime tonight.

As soon as he left the laboratory building, Xiao seemed to receive a call from "Mother Qing."

"Grandma, good evening."

"It seems..." The old man's voice was thick on the other end, "There is no money for next month's milk powder."

"Mother-in-law, I just paid a month's salary at the beginning of the month."

"I know, it's not just that Zheng Bao wants to buy toys, but also new clothes. It's not enough."

"Okay, I'll transfer some money later. By the way, I happen to be free tonight, so I'll go see the baby."

"Sisi, I heard that you found a very good job. How much does it cost per month?"

"It's not much. When I first joined the company, the salary was not high."

Xiao Si didn't seem to say much and hung up the phone.

She walked out of the laboratory building and found a bank to transfer money.

Xiao Si seemed to know that the money he sent to Granny Qing every month was more than enough, and she was afraid that Granny Qing had taken part of the money to give to her son.

Her son loves to gamble, but fortunately Granny Qing is quite reliable.

Grandma Qing has taken care of Zheng Bao for several years, and Xiao seems to not want to change her for the moment.

She didn't want to mess up her plans.

Xiao Sisi had some dinner and chose a little tiger doll in the toy store.

Zheng Bao likes tiger cubs and often wants to go to the zoo to see them.

Grandma Qing's home is in the lower county of Xuanzhou, and it takes more than an hour by taxi.

Xiao Sisi feels very guilty about Zheng Bao. She rarely has time to see him, and spends most of her free time on studies and work.

In a blink of an eye, Zhengbao was already in kindergarten.

Grandma Qing's home is in an old house with a yard, and it seems to be going by as usual.

Zheng Bao is playing with the puppy in the yard: "Qiu Qiu, Zheng Bao loves you, do you love Bao Bao?"
