Forbidden City

Chapter 61

The two words Zhou Yuyong replied made me elusive.I didn't message him back, and he didn't message me again.

When I woke up the next day, I saw Xinxin rummaging through my bag, and I asked softly, "Xinxin, what are you looking for?" Xinxin looked back at me and said, "Dad, my clothes are too small. I want to change to a bigger one."

I looked at Xinxin, and sure enough, Xinxin had grown up a bit, like a four-year-old child.In fact, the clothes she wore last night were okay, but a little tight.Luckily, I had previously bought clothes for the four and five year olds.

After putting on Xinxin's four-year-old new clothes, I was very puzzled, how did this kid grow up so fast? He really grew a year older every day.

"Shall we go to see our mother today?" Xinxin asked me with a bold head.I smiled wryly and said, "Okay, I'll take you to find your mother."

After washing up, I took Xinxin downstairs to have breakfast.

As soon as he sat down, he saw Zhou Yuyong walking towards him from a distance.He bowed his head, looking sluggish and listless.I called him, but he didn't hear him, he still kept his head down and walked on his own.I called three times in a row, but he still didn't answer.I find it very strange, this kid, is he deaf?Just as he was about to stop him, he covered his head and went into the rented building.Seeing that the owner of the breakfast shop had brought our breakfast over, I had no choice but to give up.

Xinxin's food intake was a little less today. She only ate half of a five-yuan bowl of rice and stopped eating.I asked her if she was full, and she nodded and said she was full.

After breakfast, I took Xinxin upstairs, and Xinxin asked, "Aren't you going to see your mother?" I patted her head and said softly, "I'll go and see my uncle first, and I'll go to my mother later." Xinxin nodded sensibly.

I live on the third floor and Zhou Yuyong is on the fourth floor.Xinxin and I came to his room and knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened. I was about to ask Zhou Yuyong why it took so long to open the door, but when I looked at his face, I was surprised. , This kid's face is ashen, his eyes are also black, with a huge dark circle, like a panda.

"Ah, uncle is so ugly!" Xinxin said.

I was also surprised and asked: "What did you do last night? Why are you like this?"

Seeing that it was us, Zhou Yuyong lazily turned around, fell down on the bed, and said weakly: "I spent the night at Ouyang Mei's house last night. I slept with her on the same bed. What are you talking about?"

"Then there's no need to make it like this?" I thought to myself, isn't this kid too hardworking?
Zhou Yuyong chuckled and said, "Damn kid, that woman is a goblin, and she drained me dry." He grabbed a pillow to cover his head, and fell asleep soundly. .

I sighed helplessly, I was really worried that this kid would die from exhaustion.

Xinxin looked at Zhou Yuyong and asked me: "Dad, what's wrong with Uncle?" I said he was tired and needed to rest, let's not disturb his rest, let's go.Xinxin still looked at Zhou Yuyong and said, "But Dad, why is there white steam coming from uncle's head?" I was startled, and looked above Zhou Yuyong's head, but there was nothing, so I asked suspiciously: "Xinxin, Did you really see white gas on Uncle's head?" Xinxin said seriously, "Yes, there is really white gas on his head."

A feeling of ominousness flooded into my heart, Xinxin was born as a ghost, so she was naturally different from ordinary people after being born, could she see things that ordinary people can't see?And what does Zhou Yuyong's white gas on the top of his head represent?I wanted to wake Zhou Yuyong up and ask him what he did last night. Even if he fought all night, he wouldn't be so tired. However, I shook him, but he didn't respond at all, so I had to give up.

After leaving Zhou Yuyong's room, I closed the door lightly, and then took Xinxin for a walk around the city.Clearly, I wanted to accompany Xinxin to find my mother, but actually I wanted to see if there was a suitable job for me.For some reason, without a job, I always feel uneasy.Alas, who told me that I didn't save money before.I used to live alone and eat less and drink less if I had no money, but now with a child, it is really impossible to have no money.

However, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find a satisfactory job. The main reason is that I have a child and it is inconvenient to go to work.

At noon, I made a phone call to Zhou Yuyong. He rang for a long time before answering, as if he hadn’t woken up, he lazily gave a feed. I asked him what he was doing, and he said he was sleeping.I asked him to come out for dinner, but he said he didn't want to eat, he was very tired and wanted to sleep, and then hung up the phone.

All I can say is, that kid, it was too hard last night.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, I took Xinxin back to the rented room, because Xinxin was also tired after a day of shopping, and fell asleep on the bed as soon as I got home.I thought of Zhou Yuyong, so I gently closed the door and went to the fourth floor. I heard the sound of music playing from his room from afar.

"You are my little apple, I can't love you no matter how much I love you. Your little red face warms my heart and lights up the flames of my life..."

The sound was so loud that it almost shook the whole building.

When I came to the door of Zhou Yuyong’s room, the sound got louder. I saw the video of this song was playing on the computer in his room, and Zhou Yuyong was humming with his waist twisted while combing his hair in front of the mirror, looking very happy .As soon as he saw me coming in, he immediately posed in a pose and asked, "Are you cool, buddy?" I looked at his half-baked face, and saw his excited face again, the dark circles under his eyes disappeared, and he looked like a half-dead man in the morning The general sluggish sweat is like two different people, so he asked: "Are you alive?"

"What's alive?" Zhou Yuyong continued to comb his hair, "I've always been alive, okay?"

I jokingly said, "I thought you were going to die when you looked so out of breath in the morning."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Zhou Yuyong threw the mirror and the comb on the table, then stroked his shiny hair and said, "Don't curse me, tell you, buddy, I'm alive and well. "

I saw that he had changed into a new suit, so I asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhou Yuyong stretched out his hands, made a hugging gesture, and made two obscene gestures, and said proudly: "Where else can I go, of course to see my Meimei, do you know, that girl, really her Damn it's cool, sleep with her for one night, and you will lose ten years of life, and you will be happy."

"Really? I died under the peony flower..."

Zhou Yuyong immediately responded: "Being a ghost is also romantic!"

I reached out and patted Zhou Yuyong's shoulder heavily, and said seriously: "Yongyong, listen to my advice, don't go again."

"What? Don't you go?" Zhou Yuyong opened his eyes wide and asked very displeasedly, "Why don't you go?"

"That Ouyang Mei is not easy." I said, "You will be in danger after you go..."

"It's over." Zhou Yuyong pushed my hand away, and said impatiently: "Feng Feng, I understand what you mean, you think Ouyang Mei is a bad person, right? But, so what if she is a bad person? I am poor and white , What is she trying to do to me? Instead, she feeds me and lets me sleep, so what can I say? Looking for a lady outside will cost you two or three hundred a night. I don’t need money, and if I don’t go, I won’t go for nothing.”

"But……"

"No need." Zhou Yuyong pointed at me and said, "Don't persuade me anymore, and don't stop me from pursuing happiness, otherwise, my buddies will be very angry."

"Then you're not working?"

"I was in the hair class, and I asked for three days' leave." Zhou Yuyong said while turning off the computer. I sighed helplessly and had to say: "Okay then, you are going, and I will accompany you."

"NO, NO, NO..." Zhou Yuyong immediately said, "I don't want you to accompany me. It's better for me to go alone for this kind of thing."

I firmly said: "No, I must follow, I am not at ease."

"Don't worry," Zhou Yuyong looked at me and said, "Ouyang Mei said that he doesn't like you and doesn't want to see you again, so there's no need for you to follow."

"Don't like me?" I wondered, "She really said that?"

Zhou Yuyong nodded.

I was at a loss for words.

That Ouyang Mei, why do you say you don't like me?We have only met once, and the time is only one or two minutes apart, and we haven't spoken to each other, so why doesn't she like me?
Suddenly, I remembered Xinxin's reaction when she saw her. Could it be that she doesn't like Xinxin?It was because Xinxin saw that she was different from ordinary people.
