Chapter 11 I Want to Rely on You

At noon on Sunday, Song's mother and daughter arrived earlier than Jiang Shaozheng. As soon as they saw Song Yarou, Jiang Shaozheng's cousin immediately greeted her.

"Why didn't you wear the sapphire brooch my second brother gave you?"

"Huh?" Song Yarou looked puzzled.

Jiang Shaozheng's sister pouted and complained to her mother: "You don't know how much my brother is too much. I took a fancy to a brooch and asked him to pay for it. I'll choose another one!"

Jiang Shaozheng's aunt looked at Song Yarou with a smile: "A girlfriend is naturally more important than a younger sister, and she is no longer a child. How can she compete with her future sister-in-law?"

"Of course I don't have to, I'm just angry that my brother is too partial."

"That's where it's at. When your brother gets married, he may not have time to talk to you if you ask him to go out."

"Shaozheng wants to get married?" Hearing this, Jiang Shaozheng's aunt and another aunt also surrounded him.

A group of elderly women get together, and the most enthusiastic topic is their children's career and marriage. Jiang Shaozheng's cousins ​​are all married, and the cousins ​​are young. He is the only one who has not found a market, so he and Song Yarou It became the center of everyone's jokes.

Song Yarou was upset, and knew that explaining was useless, so she walked out alone, bumped into Jiang Shaozheng's family who came later, greeted his parents, and said to him: "Why did you come, I have something to tell you. "

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang couldn't ask for more, and immediately pulled her husband away.

"I heard from your sister that you stole her brooch?"

Jiang Shaozheng was startled: "Why did she tell you this?"

"She thought you gave me the brooch... so she was wronged."

"I told her early in the morning that I didn't want to send you off. Is there something wrong with this girl's ears?"

"They all thought I was a couple with you. When I explained to them, they didn't believe me. They thought I was being shy, and even my mother misunderstood. My mother has always liked you very much, and always hated that I can't fall in love. When I heard her Just now I said 'the biggest stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground', I am under a lot of pressure, and I dare not say that you like Ning Lixia, for fear of causing you to quarrel with your aunt again."

"I'm sorry, this misunderstanding is all because my mother is showing off that you and I are 'good match' everywhere. I will explain to her as soon as possible. It will be much more useful for her to explain to others than for you and me to explain."

However, what Song Yarou expected was not that Jiang Shaozheng would tell others that he liked Ning Lixia who was worthless and would not choose her. If it spread, wouldn't she want to lose face?Apart from the embarrassment, she was even more afraid that this matter would not turn around after she revealed it.

She originally wanted to show weakness to provoke his pity, but unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect.

Because of Ning Yu, the name Yan Guyu has been on her mind for seven whole years, if it's someone else, Jiang Shaozheng actually likes her again, new grudges add to old grudges, this anger is hard to appease.

Song Yarou thought bitterly, Jiang Shaozheng could ignore him, but Yan Guyu must not be the one to marry.

Coming out of her cousin's house, Mrs. Jiang stopped Jiang Shaozheng, who was about to go back alone, and insisted that he accompany her for afternoon tea.

"You have to fight against me with your arms like this! You can get into a car accident on a business trip, almost scaring me to death. By the way, what are you doing on the highway when you have nothing to do?"

Jiang Shaozheng was worried that he couldn't find a chance to explain clearly, so he simply pointed out: "While waiting for the red light, Ning Lixia told me that he seemed to see her father. To confirm, I had to chase after him."

"You were injured because you were chasing a fugitive?" Mrs. Jiang was frightened and immediately covered her heart.

Hearing the word "fugitive", Jiang Shaozheng frowned: "Uncle Yan will most likely become my father-in-law in the future."

"Do you want that kind of person to be our in-law?" Mrs. Jiang couldn't believe her ears, and asked sharply regardless of her appearance, "Are you expecting me and your father to become the laughing stock of relatives and friends!"

"Even if Ning Lixia agreed to marry me, you don't have to treat her as your daughter-in-law, anyway, she might not be happy to have a mother-in-law like you."

"what do you mean?"

"You understand. Although the words 'don't marry unless she' may sound awkward to you, I really can't find another word to describe my current relationship with her." Jiang Shaozheng lowered his eyes without looking at his mother's expression Said, "I'm over 30 years old, I became independent many years ago, I know how to distinguish between good and bad, and my thoughts will not be easily swayed... You are my mother, I respect you very much, and I don't want to have any quarrel with you, so I persuade you You treat Ning Lixia fairly."

No matter how tactfully Jiang Shaozheng spoke, Mrs. Jiang still heard it very harshly: "If I don't recognize Ning Lixia as a daughter-in-law, you don't recognize me as a mother, right?"

"It's not that serious, as long as you don't embarrass Ning Lixia anymore. She is a reasonable person and will never cause you trouble. If you don't like her, you can treat her and our future children as non-existent. And me, of course Still your son."

Even if Ning Lixia didn't exist, Mrs. Jiang would absolutely never ignore her future grandson. It would be hard to swallow the anger in her chest if she compromised, but if she continues to toss...she knows her son's personality too well.

After weighing it for a while, Mrs. Jiang gave Jiang Shaozheng a blank look, and let go bitterly: "You think I want to control you very much! If you don't care about you, you can probably live a few more years. Since you like to jump into the fire pit, you can do whatever you want." You go, I won't ask any more questions. There is only one thing, you will regret it if you get cheated in the future, don't go home and cry to me and your dad!"

Jiang Shaozheng smiled: "You are worrying too much. I am afraid that if I want to be tricked, people will not give me a chance. In addition, Song Yarou and I are just friends who grew up together. The messages outside made me and her very embarrassed. We I don't want to be misunderstood, I am afraid that only you can eliminate this bad influence."

When Jiang Shaozheng got home, dinner was already on the table, but Ning Lixia was not there.There was a note under the white porcelain bowl, saying that he had an appointment tonight and asked him to use his intact right hand to heat the food in the microwave.

He was the only one to eat, and she also prepared four dishes and one soup. Jiang Shaozheng called to thank him, but Ning Lixia on the other end of the phone was obviously a little perfunctory.

Alarm bells were ringing in his heart, and he couldn't directly ask who she was with and what she was doing, so he went around and said, "If no one sees you, remember to call me when you go back, and I will pick you up. Recently, there are always single women Missing news."

"I'm in the studio. You can't drive. If you come to me and follow my car back to my house, don't I have to take you back?"

"I can get a ride by myself."

Only Ning Lixia and Wei Jie were in the whole studio, so quiet that one could clearly hear the insects and frogs outside the window, not to mention the content of the call that was close at hand.

So, as soon as Ning Lixia put down the phone, Wei Jie smiled and said: "How dare you lie to me that there is no ambiguity between you! He can take you home by car, why can't you go to school? And his family is Have a driver."

"..."

"If you feel guilty, you can hire a part-time worker for him, why go by yourself?"

"..."

"Speaking of guilt and being responsible for his injury is not an excuse to meet."

Ning Lixia really wanted to refute, but he couldn't say a word, so he could only change the subject: "Are you here to learn baking or to inquire about gossip? If you mix the batter slowly like this, the qifeng baked will collapse. "

Hearing this sentence, Wei Jie simply pushed away the stainless steel basin and gave up: "Don't do it, I'm in trouble."

"Didn't you already boast to Jin Wei that you will bake a birthday cake for him tonight?"

"It's enough to fool him with what you did! Don't say you slipped your mouth. I really admire you. You actually have the patience to prepare three meals a day for a man. You are still an 'ordinary' male friend. By the way, Jin Wei a few days ago Tian overheard Ning Yu ordering people to pay attention to your father, did your father know Ning Yu? Why never heard you mention it?"

Ning Lixia was startled, and immediately asked.

Wei Jie said, "I don't know either! He didn't entrust Jin Wei to do this."

Ning Lixia knew that Ning Yu deliberately asked Wei Jie to release the news to him, but he felt even more resistant to bowing his head and compromising.

After separating from Wei Jie, Ning Lixia began to think about how to alienate Jiang Shaozheng.His intentions have already been made clear, if this continues, wouldn't it be to misunderstand him.

While waiting for the elevator, she finally made up her mind, and the first thing she said when they met again was that she would ask someone to take care of his life.However, when she got out of the elevator and saw Jiang Shaozheng standing outside the apartment, she temporarily changed her mind.

He rushed over late at night, and if he refused immediately, it might cause him insomnia, so let's bring it up tomorrow morning.

Jiang Shaozheng raised the plastic bag in Yang's hand: "Today, a student sent me a box of grapes from his own orchard. They are very fresh and sweet. I was afraid that the taste would change tomorrow, so I sent them as soon as possible."

Before Ning Lixia could speak, he smiled and confessed: "Don't say you don't eat at night, I finally came up with an excuse to see you."

"If you don't eat the rice, you can taste a grape instead."

The grapes were soft and juicy, sweet but not greasy, Ning Lixia wanted to taste just one, but he couldn't help but ate half a bag.

"Staying with you, I always relapsed, and when I picked up each one, I said to myself 'this is the last one'." She was frustrated, "Eating grapes is the easiest way to gain weight, and it's all because you hurt me."

"You used to look good even when you were fat."

"When did I gain weight? Forget it, I've already eaten half a bag anyway, so I won't gain much weight if I add more." She took out the mangosteen she bought in the afternoon from the refrigerator, "You're not by my side, my perseverance is great! I love mangosteen so much, I just couldn’t bear to eat a single one.”

Jiang Shaozheng couldn't use his left hand, so she broke one and handed it to him, then went to get the second one.

Before she could break it off again, Jiang Shaozheng took out a petal and put it into her mouth: "I'm not a disabled person, so I don't need special treatment."

His index finger accidentally touched her lips, Ning Lixia felt his cheeks burning, and smiled to cover up: "I'm not a disabled person, why do you want me to pick you up?"

"Because I want to see you. If you don't object to my showing up at your house every day, I can cook for you with only my right hand."

Ning Lixia intentionally evaded, and pushed the remaining mangosteen aside: "The grapes you brought are too sweet, and it won't taste like anything else."

"Understood, it's like I like you too much, so I can't appreciate other people anymore."

Ning Lixia cut with a smile: "Am I a grape?"

"Just a metaphor."

"It's really nasty, I can't stand men talking about what they like or not all day long."

Early autumn was the most rainy day, and just as Jiang Shaozheng was about to leave, there was a crackling sound outside the window.

"It was so big that I had to sit down again."

Unexpectedly, after half an hour, the rain was not weak but strong.

Jiang Shaozheng looked out the window and said, "I didn't bring an umbrella, and it's raining again at this time, so I'm afraid it's not easy to stop the car."

"I send you."

"It's dark and the road is slippery. I don't believe in your driving skills. It's too unsafe for you to come back alone after you send me back."

"so what?"

"The sofa in your house is quite big, I can barely sleep on it."

"Is it reasonable to stay at someone else's house when it rains?"

"I took you in too, and I can help you make breakfast."

Ning Lixia didn't know if he was crazy, he hesitated for two seconds, and actually nodded in agreement.

"Just this time, I don't need to sleep on the sofa. When my sister came to live, I put an extra bed in the study."

Jiang Shaozheng lived in contentedly.

The rain was strong and the wind was cool, Ning Lixia, who hadn't fallen asleep for a long time, got up to close the window, remembering that there was only a thin blanket in the guest room, she took out a quilt from the closet.

Jiang Shaozheng didn't close the door. Ning Lixia walked to the bed lightly, and covered him with the quilt. There was a three-point smile on his mouth. Seeing that Ning Lixia was upset, he whispered to himself: "I'm not I care about you, but I am just afraid that you will catch a cold and have a fever for another day."

When Ning Lixia woke up, the rain still didn't stop, the sky was gloomy and it was not yet daylight.

When she walked out of the bedroom with a yawn in her pajamas, Jiang Shaozheng was already fully dressed and sitting in the living room watching the morning news.Ning Lixia was still awake at this time, and it took him two seconds to remember why this person appeared on his sofa.

She fled back to the bedroom immediately, took a shower and put on makeup for a full hour, and when she came out, she returned to her usual delicate makeup.

Jiang Shaozheng found it funny: "It's not that I haven't seen you look more unkempt, so why be so nervous."

Ning Lixia glared at him: "Where's the breakfast you prepared?"

"I will do it. You don't have materials at home, so go out and eat."

It was still early, so Ning Lixia drove the car to the teahouse she often went to.Unexpectedly, I ran into Jiang Shaozheng's cousin and his middle school classmate Ji Boqian in the parking lot.

The temperature dropped sharply, Ning Lixia chose a black velvet turtleneck dress, and just pinned the sapphire brooch in the middle of the collar, when Jiang Shaoxuan saw it, he naturally wanted to yell.

"Second Brother, it turns out that Sister Gu Yu is your real girlfriend!"

Jiang Shaozheng tapped his cousin's forehead with his index finger, and asked Ji Boqian over her, "Why are you together?"

Before Ji Boqian could speak, Jiang Shaoxuan rushed to say: "I'm writing a medical-themed script recently and collected materials from Ji Boqian. Their hospital is so far away, and my mother refused to buy me a car, so I had to take his ride."

"It took you four times to get your driver's license. How could my aunt let you drive by yourself." Jiang Shaozheng turned to Ji Boqian, "Are the two of you on the way?"

Jiang Shaoxuan rushed to answer again: "Ji Boqian has moved out of his parents' house, and his apartment is very close to my house. But he is so stingy, I begged him for a long time and he refused to drive me, he insisted on asking me to buy breakfast return."

"I didn't pick her up for free breakfast, but because I was scared by her." Ji Boqian showed a trace of helplessness on his expressionless face.

Jiang Shaoxuan gave Ji Boqian a white look, took Ning Lixia's arm, and said affectionately: "Sister Gu Yu, how long has it been since we saw each other? I heard from them that you came back and opened a restaurant. I have always wanted to visit you, but it's a pity Didn't find time."

Because they used to go to Jiang Shaozheng's grandfather's house often, Ning Lixia and Jiang Shaoxuan were fairly close, but because of their age difference, they couldn't hang out together.In her eyes, even after 20 years old, Jiang Shaozheng's cousin is just a child: "Leave me an address later, and I will send you new desserts later, I remember you have a sweet tooth. "

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome to send it back and forth. I will take my classmates to praise you on weekends."

As soon as he sat in the box, Ning Lixia got up and went to the bathroom.While she was leaving, Jiang Shaoxuan hurriedly whispered to his brother: "Sister Gu Yu is much better than Song Yarou. I don't like Song Yarou the most. I heard that you and her made a couple a while ago, and I was too scared to go to your house."

"When did you become so timid to be frightened by rumors?"

Ji Boqian, who had been drinking tea silently, said for her: "People are divided into groups. Your sister, who is so ignorant and inexperienced, naturally dare not stay with Song Yarou for a long time. She is afraid that she will show her timidity after a few words and be discovered by others. It's more than enough for Yan Guyu to chat, eat, drink and have fun together."

Ning Lixia, who came back to get her makeup bag, heard this, opened the door and said with a smile: "This is the reason, only similar people can be harmonious together, like Dr. Ji, you have to find someone who is equally outstanding."

Ji Boqian glanced at Jiang Shaoxuan, and said leisurely: "I mean friends of the same sex. At least to me, it doesn't matter whether a girlfriend has a brain or not. It doesn't matter if you are stupid. The important thing is to understand that you are not smart, just be obedient."

"Sister Gu Yu, ignore him, he's just so self-righteous." Jiang Shaoxuan turned his head and snorted at Ji Boqian, "I hope you find someone who cares more about people than you, and he can treat you to be obedient!"

Seeing Ji Boqian's slight frown, Ning Lixia smiled triumphantly.

Saying goodbye to his sister and Ji Boqian, Jiang Shaozheng took Ning Lixia's hand calmly.

Ning Lixia looked puzzled, and immediately pulled out, but Jiang Shaozheng held it tighter and tighter.

"Why do you use your hands and feet?" She was slightly annoyed.

"My sister said that you are my real girlfriend, didn't you acquiesce?"

"What acquiesce, I am too lazy to explain, the clearer clears himself."

Jiang Shaozheng still didn't let go: "Seeing the two of them, I remembered a lot of past events. You used to say that I neglected you and complained to me that I was not taken seriously. How about we get together again, and let me feel the neglect of my girlfriend, you Just think of it as revenge."

Of course Ning Lixia would not be fooled by him: "I'm very busy, so I don't have the time and energy to take revenge on you."

Before it was time to get off work, Ning Lixia received a text message from Jiang Shaozheng, telling her not to cook for herself anymore.

She was happy and relaxed, and went to the department store alone for a few hours before driving home.It was inconvenient to open the door with large bags and small bags. Just as I was about to put my things on the ground and look for the key, the door opened from the inside.

Ning Lixia, who has been living alone since her mother and sister left, was taken aback. When she saw that it was Jiang Shaozheng who opened the door, she was naturally surprised: "Why are you in my house?"

"Cooking. I didn't make breakfast, so I made up dinner. I always keep my word."

"How did you get in?"

"I accidentally saw it when you entered the password last night. Didn't you say that you always break the precept when you're with me? It shouldn't matter if you eat one more meal."

"..."

After eating the dinner made with one hand, Jiang Shaozheng was about to wash the dishes with one hand again, but out of love for the disabled, Ning Lixia stopped him in time.

"I'm here to wash the dishes, you should go back earlier, or you won't be able to get a taxi if you're late."

"Where am I going back?"

"Your own home."

Jiang Shaozheng pointed to the travel bag placed between the sofa and the coffee table, and said to Ning Lixia: "I'm going to stay with you for a while."

Ning Lixia thought he heard it wrong: "You want to live in my house? Why!"

"I don't want you to go back and forth all the time. Usually you have to go to my house to pick me up. Starting together like this morning can save a lot of time."

"I'm not afraid of trouble, and I'm planning to hire you a driver and part-time worker."

"You can find a housekeeper. I don't have much time, so I can't cook every meal, and I don't want you to work too hard. I will pay for the housekeeping. It's not good to eat and drink for free with you."

"Wait, you mean, if you hire a housekeeper, you will also live in my house?"

Jiang Shaozheng said "Yes", and put the travel bag into the guest room: "You have a TV at home, it's good to watch news and sports games occasionally."

"You can watch it with a computer. If you want a TV, I'll buy it for you."

"What's the point of seeing it alone? Didn't you say you didn't know how to repay my favor a while ago, so you lent me the room."

After all, Ning Lixia didn't turn down his face and drive him out, but every time she saw Jiang Shaozheng dangling in front of her eyes, she would always feel confused, where did that unsmiling, silent and wise man go?Does everyone show a completely different side in front of the person they like?

Unlike when his sister came to live, Ning Lixia couldn't get used to Jiang Shaozheng's intrusion after several days.

You can no longer wear an empty suit nightdress without a bra, you can no longer wash vegetables and cut fruits with a facial mask on, you can no longer throw sundries around, and you can no longer sit on the floor with your messy hair holding your notebook—maybe old couples can do whatever they want Regardless of the image, they are still in an ambiguous period when they are not yet lovers.

Except for the inconvenience, Jiang Shaozheng's nagging is not without benefits, at least Ning Lixia's life has quickly become more regular, and the apartment has become much cleaner.

Every day at six o'clock, Jiang Shaozheng would get up on time to prepare breakfast, with a bandage on his left arm and a spatula in his right hand, which did not affect his elegant temperament at all.After having breakfast with Ning Lixia, he would quickly wash the dishes and tidy up the living room while waiting for her to dress up and change clothes.After taking Jiang Shaozheng to school by taking a detour, Ning Lixia usually has to go back to the studio. In the evening, after a day's work is over, no matter whether she is in the restaurant or the studio, Jiang Shaozheng will always wait outside the door, or find a room with her. Eat dinner in a restaurant, or go to the supermarket to buy fresh fruits and vegetables to make soup and stir-fry.

The roommate worked for a week, and Jiang Shaozheng replaced the habit of reading before going to bed by watching movies with Ning Lixia. Ning Lixia gave up skipping lunch and started eating dinner. His complexion quickly turned rosy, and although a slight weight gain was inevitable, he was much more energetic.

Ning Lixia was very happy to send Jiang Shaozheng, who was going on a business trip for a week, to the airport. However, the free and solitary life started again for just a few hours, and she was not used to it.

She finally understood that skipping dinner for many years was not due to strong willpower, but just because one was too lazy to cook.

When Jiang Shaozheng on the other end of the phone said that he would come back two days early, Ning Lixia actually had a little expectation. After buying his favorite ingredients in the market, she patiently tidied up the house.

While cleaning the floor, the doorbell rang. She remembered that she hadn't done any online shopping recently, and remembered Jiang Shaozheng's instructions before leaving the door, so she looked behind the door first.

Ning Yu?After hesitating for a moment, Ning Lixia opened the door anyway.

Ning Yu walked in directly, and sat down on the sofa without saying a word, without saying a word after a long absence.

His complexion looked bad, and Ning Lixia couldn't bear it, so he put down his grudge for the time being, made a cup of hot milk, and handed it to him in a friendly manner: "Did you come to see me for something?"

Ning Yu suddenly stretched out his hand to grab her arm, and said in a deep voice, "Forget my fault, don't quarrel with me anymore."

"I'm not quarreling with you, and I don't want to tell who is right and who is wrong. The reason we broke up is..."

"My mother found it." Ning Yu interrupted her.

"Auntie found it? How is she now?"

"died."

"Ah?" After being stunned for a long time, Ning Lixia said, "Don't be too sad."

"She has been missing for 15 years. I have been mentally prepared for it. When I really heard the news, I still couldn't accept it."

In the face of parting from life and death, any words seemed pale and powerless. After careful consideration, Ning Lixia put away his comforting words and only said: "I understand."

"I searched for so long, but I didn't get any useful clues until two policemen came to my office a few days ago. They said that they had caught several robbery and murderers, and one of them confessed to the others 15 years ago. In an old case, they stopped a car in a scenic spot, killed a woman who was driving drunk, and buried her nearby... My mother, who was so beautiful that she had to be strong for a lifetime, ended up like this."

Ning Lixia was very shocked: "Could it be a mistake? It's been 15 years, and the body has changed beyond recognition, right?"

"They gained a lot from robbing my mother, so they were very impressed, and every detail is clearly remembered. The bones dug up at the designated location belong to my mother, and they have already experienced DNA."

She didn't know what to say, she sat beside Ning Yu and patted his shoulder.

Ning Yu suddenly turned around and hugged her, Ning Lixia sighed, but did not escape after all.

When he let her go, the sad look on his face had long since disappeared, and his voice was as cold as ever: "Are you and Jiang Shaozheng really here?"

Ning Lixia didn't answer directly: "This has nothing to do with me or you."

"It's okay? I didn't make way, how could he be so smooth."

"..."

"He helped you with the packing box in the previous paragraph."

Ning Lixia let out a "hmm" at first, and then said, "You sent the person who came here to make trouble, right?"

Ning Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then denied it: "I'm not that free, and I wouldn't be so stupid as to give Jiang Shaozheng another chance to be courteous when he knew that he had settled the bank loan for you."

"It's not that you are manipulating behind the scenes, how could those people hold on to such a small matter?"

"You should doubt Jiang Shaozheng, he will gain the most if you cause trouble."

"He won't."

"He won't I will?"

Ning Lixia didn't make a sound.

Ning Yu sneered: "Don't think too much about yourself, even if I insist on you, I wouldn't make such a boring move."

Ning Lixia knew Ning Yu well, knew that he would not lie about this kind of matter, and immediately apologized and asked for peace: "It's my villainous heart that caused the trouble."

"I will find out about this matter. If Jiang Shaozheng is the one who caused the trouble, how will you pay for my mental loss?"

"At least a little bit mad at you."

"Why are you so angry? If you are willing to change your mind, I can give you one last chance."

Ning Lixia couldn't help laughing: "Let's leave such a precious opportunity to your ex-girlfriends."

Ning Yu's face darkened: "I won't pester you, but you have to give me a reasonable reason to choose Jiang Shaozheng over me. I don't think he is stronger than me in any way."

"It has nothing to do with him. Without Song Yarou's reminder, maybe I would have agreed to your marriage proposal in a dizzy way, but now I feel lucky. I used to think that having love would not hinder the happiness of marriage, but later I realized that it was Wrong, I have to go through too much in my life. If there is no love support, how can I be willing to endure the differences between the other party and myself? Our parents are all failures in marriage. I don’t want my children to be like me because of their parents. Thin feelings are always fearful."

"Only you are indifferent, don't get involved with me." Ning Yu couldn't listen any longer, and pushed the door and left on the pretext of dealing with her mother's funeral.

The seven-year friendship couldn't be broken up after all. After the initial anger, even though he still secretly resented Ning Yu because of his father's affairs, Ning Lixia couldn't bear to cut off all ties and refused to attend Ning Yu's mother's funeral.

It was already afternoon after the funeral, so mother and younger sister naturally wanted to stay, but Ning Lixia said he was busy and bought a return ticket for the nearest train.

Pushing open the door of the apartment, Jiang Shaozheng, who had just showered and hadn't dried his hair, came out of the bedroom immediately.

"I called your cell phone and you didn't answer it. Why did you come back so late?"

"I just came out of the station half an hour ago."

"On a business trip? I thought you would stay at home and wait for me."

Ning Lixia was upset, and his tone was naturally bad: "This is my home, you are just staying here, I don't seem to have the obligation to wait for you to come back."

Jiang Shaozheng was used to cold reception, so he didn't care. He smiled kindly and said, "I have the responsibility to wait for you. The water chestnut porridge has been cooked and is being warmed on a low fire. The salad will be ready soon."

He put on an apron, elegantly cracked two eggs into the pan, fried them just right, put them on a milky white bone china plate, trimmed them to a perfect circle with a fruit knife, and then spread them on the salad.

Jiang Shaozheng's focused profile made Ning Lixia's heart suddenly soften, and he blurted out almost without thinking: "My mother and Uncle Ning are preparing for the wedding, and I want to attend too. Will you accompany me when the time comes?"

Jiang Shaozheng was overjoyed, but he deliberately asked: "It's free, but you have to have an identity, otherwise when people ask me, I can't say that this is the wedding of my father's old friend's ex-wife."

"You can also say that you are the boyfriend of the bride's daughter."

"This boyfriend's tenure will not only have one wedding, right?" Jiang Shaozheng couldn't believe that good luck would suddenly come to him.

The self-satisfaction on his face made Ning Lixia feel regretful: "It's fine if you don't like it, I won't force it."

Jiang Shaozheng's face became thicker and thicker in the successive setbacks, and he looked at Ning Lixia almost flatteringly: "Of course I am willing, but I am afraid that the term of office is too short and there is not enough time to perform."

"Not only did we not meet just now, but you are still my ex. What's there to do? With your failing performance seven years ago, I don't want to look forward to it at all." After saying this, Ning Lixia who had been running around all day Then he turned and went into the bedroom.

Xu Shi went to bed before ten o'clock, and at five o'clock the next morning, Ning Lixia couldn't fall asleep anymore.

After a simple dressing, seeing that Jiang Shaozheng, who was in charge of breakfast, hadn't woken up yet, she leisurely made a pot of coffee, found a manual juicer, and peeled the Mengzi pomegranate delivered the day before to squeeze the juice.

Hearing the movement, Jiang Shaozheng got up quickly. Seeing him coming out, Ning Lixia raised the pomegranate juice in his hand and asked with a smile, "Does it look like a vampire's breakfast?"

Jiang Shaozheng took it and took a sip: "I remember we watched a horror movie about vampires together. Tang Ruize saw that you were timid, and secretly replaced the honey water in your thermos with roselle tea, causing you to unscrew the bottle Guy cried in fright."

Ning Lixia was full of emotion: "It seems to be something that happened in junior high school. It has been more than ten years, but when I think about it, it seems to be so close."

"A few days ago, I went to pick up her daughter from the primary school I attended for Shaofei, and suddenly recalled many things from my childhood. 30 years is really just a blink of an eye."

"Yesterday I went to Ning Yu's mother's funeral. I have never seen her before. I only heard Ning Yu talk about her occasionally. Ning Yu said she was very beautiful. This time I saw a picture of her in Ning's old house, and it was true. My mother also told me some past events between her and Uncle Ning, how such a face-saving and ostentatious person ended up in such a tragic end. "

Jiang Shaozheng naturally knew about Ning Yu's mother, and he sighed: "I heard that after signing the divorce agreement, I was in a bad mood, drank too much alcohol, and drove up the mountain alone to meet a robber... I had a meeting with Aunt Jing a long time ago. Zhiyuan is very similar to Ning Yu. She is so arrogant that she is arrogant, but she is not very annoying. After learning about this, everyone finds it inconceivable. They always think that a person like her should be honorable even if she dies. "

"There is no third party between her and Uncle Ning. What led to the divorce was nothing more than trivial things that were mutually incompatible. Perhaps she was still waiting for Uncle Ning to bow his head before signing the divorce agreement. She will definitely not act on her own will for what is right and what is not."

Ning Lixia put the peeled pomegranate into the juicer, and said while pressing it: "Ning Yu seldom expressed emotion, but yesterday he sighed beside the tombstone and said that his future children would not know or understand his grandmother, He also passed away decades later, and his mother was completely forgotten by the world. A person’s life can last up to eight or ninety years, and it is fleeting like a fleeting moment. Natural disasters and man-made disasters happen all the time. I don’t know where my end is. Although it’s useless to get back together with the ex who once neglected me, I like it. The time to act willfully is too limited. I have seen Ning Yu’s mother’s misfortune, and I don’t want to Waste time on pouting."

"You like... me?" Jiang Shaozheng was overjoyed.

Ning Lixia "cut": "Don't be too complacent, when everyone has a bad head, they might be stupid twice for the same person and the same thing, maybe one day I will understand, I don't even bother to look at it look at you."

There are too many contradictions and burdens in life.She loves Jiang Shaozheng, but hates his mother deeply; she wants to be with Jiang Shaozheng, but she is not willing to abandon the few bones and self-esteem left; she has worked so hard to maintain equality between the two, but she can't refuse him again and again s help.After hesitating and procrastinating until now, I finally made up my mind.Maybe she will regret it in the future, but at least she can be happy for a while now.
