"Are we home now?" Kang Shaonan immediately became nervous when he heard what his young wife said, but he was away from home and could do nothing except comfort her softly.
"Well, I'm home, I'm opening the door!" Finally arriving at the door, Yu Xiao opened the door with the key, walked in, turned on the light, and quickly closed the security door. Looking at everything in front of her, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she got home, she would be safe!
"Have you entered the house?" Hearing the sound of the door closing on the phone, Kang Shaonan asked her slowly.
“Hmm…” Yu Xiao put on her slippers and walked into the bedroom. Her body softened and she lay on the bed, her heart still pounding.
"Didn't I tell you to go back to your mother's house? Why did you go back again?" Kang Shaonan couldn't help but worry when he thought about his wife being alone at home.
"Isn't today the second day after our wedding? I don't think it's a good idea to go back to my mom's house. Besides, people usually go back to their parents' house together after getting married. If I go back alone, people who don't know would think your family is abusing me, so I came back first!"
"Baby, are you sure that it is that man who has been following you? Maybe you have seen it wrong, and he is also going back to his home?" She was timid and maybe she was just too suspicious.
"He started following me as soon as I entered the community, and followed me downstairs. When I ran to the door of the unit, he stood not far away and looked at me before leaving." Yu Xiao became more and more scared as she spoke. She put on her slippers and ran to the window to look down. Finding no suspicious people, she nervously locked the window, drew the curtains, and ran back to bed to lie down.
"Then go back to your mother's house tomorrow! I'm worried about you!" The young wife is too young. She grew up under the love of her parents. She must have some difficulty adapting to suddenly living alone.
"Well, okay!" She regretted it ever since she saw the man behind her.
"Baby, isn't today your second day at work? Why are you back so late? I thought you were asleep." Kang Shaonan had just come back and thought his wife had already gone to bed. When he called her, he found out that she had just arrived home. He was a little puzzled that she had come back so late.
"When I got off work yesterday, I was going to celebrate with An An and Xiao Tong, but I didn't get to celebrate because I went to your house. After get off work today, An An and Xiao Tong and I went out for dinner, and we came back a little late." Yu Xiao didn't dare to tell her that she had dinner with her boss, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"Don't come back so late in the future. How about this, you must send me a text message every night when you get home to let me know that you got home safely, okay?"
"Okay, I understand!" Yu Xiao nodded obediently.
"Baby, go wash up now and go to bed. I'll call you in half an hour!"
"Okay, OK!" Yu Xiao hung up the phone and went into the bathroom to take a shower and brush her teeth. When she came out of the bathroom, the phone on the bedside table was ringing. She wiped her hair and walked over. She picked up the phone and saw that it was her mother calling.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Yu Xiao asked while wiping his hair.
"What else could it be? Why didn't you come home today?" Ren Zhiping knew that her daughter had returned to Kang's house yesterday. She thought her daughter would come home today, but she waited all night and didn't see her. She was worried that something had happened to her, so she called.
"I thought, isn't today the second day after Kang Shaonan and I got married? I felt it was not comfortable to live at home, so I came back."
"Are you okay home alone?" Ren Zhiping couldn't help but worry when she thought of her daughter living alone in a house.
"Mom, don't worry! I'm fine! I'll go home tomorrow night! Kang Shaonan is still waiting for my call, I won't talk to you for now." Yu Xiao was worried that Kang Shaonan couldn't get through the call, so he was anxious to explain to his mother.
"Okay, then you should go to bed early!" Ren Zhiping felt relieved when she heard her daughter say this.
"Okay, got it, Mom. Good night!" Yu Xiao quickly hung up the phone. Just as she lay down on the bed, Kang Shaonan called her.
"Baby, who were you talking to just now?"
"My mother is worried about me, so she called to ask about me."
"Oh, are you done with the shower?"
"Well, I'm done."
"After you finish washing, go to bed and sleep well. Your husband will tell you a story." Worried that what happened just now would leave a psychological trauma on her, he decided to coax her to sleep over the phone.
"Pfft!" Kang Shaonan's words made Yu Xiao couldn't help laughing: "How old am I, and you still tell me stories? Then tell me what story you want to tell me? It won't be the story of the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood, right?"
"Let me tell you the glorious history of your husband! Are you lying down?" Kang Shaonan smiled. Hearing her joking with him like this, he felt a little comforted.
"Well, lie down!"
"Now close your eyes, I'm going to start talking!"
"Well, okay! I'll close my eyes, you start telling the story now!" Yu Xiao really closed her eyes, waiting for Kang Shaonan to tell her a story. Listening to him talking in her ear, her heart slowly relaxed and her mood became much better.
"Let me tell you a story about my childhood! I was in the third grade at that time. I was very naughty and did a lot of things like climbing walls and trees to steal bird eggs."
"Haha, you can do that kind of thing?" Yu Xiao laughed, imagining the scene of the leader climbing the wall and the tree, and couldn't help laughing.
"Can't you tell? Let me tell you a time when I touched bird eggs!" Kang Shaonan coughed twice, like a big leader.
"Um."
"There was a small forest next to where I went to school, and many birds went there to build nests. It was autumn, and the weather was getting colder, so I wore a hat to school. Because I had to go to school early that day, I went to the forest with a few friends to look for bird eggs. We climbed several trees, and there was one in the last tree. I took three eggs, but before I got down from the tree, the bell rang. When the students under the tree heard the bell, no one cared about me and ran into the school. I also quickly slipped down from the tree and ran to the classroom with the bird eggs. When I was about to reach the classroom, I was afraid of being discovered by the teacher, so I wanted to hide the eggs, but the clothes I wore that day had no pockets. I thought about it for a long time, and finally had no choice but to put the three bird eggs in my hat, and then walked into the classroom as if nothing had happened. Walking in When I arrived at the podium, the teacher was already standing on the platform. I shouted "report" loudly and then stood at the door. The teacher was a woman. She looked at me, walked up to me with a sullen face and a textbook and asked me: Kang Shaonan, why are you late again? I said I was late for dinner. Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, someone in the audience shouted in such a mean way: Teacher, Kang Shaonan has been here a long time ago! He has been touching bird eggs outside. When I heard this, my head immediately drooped. The female teacher was furious, and she knocked me on the head with the textbook in her hand a few times. I don’t know if she used too much force or the skin of the three bird eggs was too thin. Anyway, after she knocked the textbook, my face was covered with yellow and white blood. The female teacher’s face turned pale at the time, and she thought she had knocked my brains out! "
“Haha… Haha…” After hearing what he said, Yu Xiao couldn’t help laughing anymore. She could even imagine how embarrassed he was at that time.
"How about it, honey? Isn't this funny about your husband?" Hearing her laughing on the phone, he also laughed with relief.
"Haha... Kang... Kang Shaonan, you are so funny, aren't you?" Yu Xiao thought more and more about it, and her stomach was cramped with laughter. The fear that she had just felt from being scared by the strange man was instantly dispelled by Kang Shaonan's joke.
"It's a classic, right? But there were some benefits to my experience that time. From then on, the female teacher never dared to hit her students on the head with a book again. Later, I thought about it and I guess she had a psychological trauma." Kang Shaonan explained with a smile.
"Haha, then you have done a good thing, but it's a pity for the three little birds that haven't hatched yet. Is there anything else interesting? I want to hear more!" Kang Shaonan's story is much better than the Big Bad Wolf. As Yu Xiao listened to his phone call, she no longer felt sleepy.
"Okay! Then let me tell you about another time when I was on a mission at the border. It was a few years ago..." Kang Shaonan slowed down his voice and began to speak.
Knowing that she was addicted to listening, he began to tell a very long story, which sounded a bit boring, but listening to such stories is easier to hypnotize, so he told this story on purpose. Yu Xiao tossed around all night, and was frightened by the man when she entered the community. She felt tired and sleepy. Kang Shaonan had been talking for less than ten minutes when she began to yawn continuously. After a while, she actually fell asleep.
Hearing that there was no response from her on the phone, Kang Shaonan gently called her: "Baby, are you asleep? Baby..." There was no sound on the other end of the phone. Yu Xiao fell asleep completely in Kang Shaonan's story...
Kang Shaonan hung up the phone after making sure his wife was asleep. Thinking about the sound of Yu Xiao talking to him when she just got home, he knew she must have been frightened, but he was hundreds of kilometers away, so he could do nothing even if he was worried. He took a cigarette from the bedside, lit it, took two puffs, frowned, thought about it, and took the phone to call his brother Kang Shaobei.
Because of his elder brother's wedding, Kang Shaobei has been tossed around for the past two days, and seems to be more tired than Kang Shaonan, the groom. At this moment, he just lay down on the bed when he received a call from his elder brother.
"Brother, are you unable to sleep because you are missing your sister-in-law?" Kang Shaobei rubbed his forehead, sat up against the headboard and joked with his eldest brother.
"I'm afraid I'm going to have sleepless nights tonight!" Kang Shaonan didn't refute, but answered a little depressed.
"Then why don't you take a few more days off? You're going back to the army the day after your wedding. Do you think you're a fairy?" Kang Shaobei deliberately teased his elder brother.
"Just now when Yu Xiao was going home, a strange man followed her in the community. She is young and was almost scared to tears when she heard the voice just now. You should take some time to go to the community tomorrow and find a way to adjust the surveillance footage tonight to see what happened!" If this matter is not settled, Kang Shaonan will probably have insomnia tonight. (To be continued)
