When they arrived at Murong's house, Aunt Lian helped open the door: "Xiao Xu, are you here?"
"Good evening, Aunt Lian."
"Okay." Aunt Lian turned sideways to let her in, noticing what she was carrying, "Come here, why are you so polite."
Xu Chuanchuan smiled: "I used to come empty-handed to blame embarrassment."
"It's too heavy to buy so much? Give it to me, your hands are all red."
Xu Chuanchuan wanted to say that he could do it, but before he even opened his mouth, Aunt Lian took it away. She rubbed her red palms and asked, "Aunt Mingshu, is she okay?"
"Oh, I was terrified when I fainted! Fortunately, I was sent to the hospital in time, and the person is now all right, lying in the room."
"Then is it convenient for me to see her now?"
Before Aunt Lian could answer, a voice came in: "Why don't you tell me when you arrive?"
Xu Chuanchuan followed the reputation and saw Murong Shi running downstairs wearing slippers, "da da da", and ran to her in a blink of an eye.
The eager eyes, the joy and love in the eyes that are too gentle to hide. The person in front of him is so familiar, but Xu Chuanchuan seems to be unable to see through it.
Psychological trouble, she even felt that Murong Shi's smile at the moment was a little fake. She didn't start, and said blankly, "I just want to see Auntie."
Murong Shi didn't notice anything strange about her: "She is resting in the room, I'll take you there."
After speaking, he naturally grabbed her hand.
Xu Chuanchuan originally wanted to break free, but he held back because of Aunt Lian.
As soon as she touched her hand, Murong Shi realized something was wrong: "Does it hurt?"
There was a deep dent in the palm of the hand, and the pain was a bit painful, but Xu Chuanchuan said stubbornly: "It's okay."
Murong Shi spread out her palm and massaged her gently.
Every time Murong Shi treats her so tenderly, Xu Chuanchuan will feel that she is being protected by someone, but now she is in a complicated mood.
She pulled her hand back calmly, lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes, and said, "Don't do this in your house."
As long as they are not alone, both of them are accustomed to avoid suspicion, and Murong Shi only thinks she is shy.
Murong Mingshu's room was on the second floor. Pushing the door open, Xu Chuanchuan saw a burly figure sitting beside the bed feeding Murong Mingshu apples. She realized that it was Murong Shi's father, Sun An, and she paused.
"Dad, Mom, Chuanchuan is here." Murong Shi said to the people inside.
"Chuanchuan is coming?" Murong Mingshu's pale face showed an amiable smile, her voice sounded weak, "Come in."
Xu Chuanchuan walked in behind Murong Shi.
Handing the peeled apple to his wife, Murong Mingshu shook her head and said she didn't want to eat it. Sun An put the item back in the fruit basket, stood up slowly, and looked Xu Chuanchuan up and down with her sharp eyes: "Who is this?"
It was the first time I saw Sun An himself after so many visits. According to Murong Shi's description in the past, Xu Chuanchuan imagined that Sun An should be a very strict person. She was a little nervous, with a decent smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Hello, Mr. Sun, my name is Xu Chuanchuan."
Murong Shi added: "It's my girlfriend."
The word "girlfriend" is very broad. Sun An didn't think about it deeply, and said with a stern smile: "I have the impression that you were the one who stayed here last time, right? Welcome to our house."
Xu Chuanchuan felt a little weird in her heart. For a moment, she thought that Murong Shi was going to come out at this time, and her heart skipped a beat.
Murong Shi said lightly, "She's been here many times, but you're so busy that you haven't seen her once."
It was a very common sentence. For some reason, Xu Chuanchuan felt that the atmosphere froze after Murong Shi finished speaking.
There was a crack in Sun An's majestic expression, but it quickly returned to normal. He didn't pick up, and said, "Let's talk, I have an entertainment tonight."
"You walk slowly." Murong Shi's tone was respectful, but his expression was cold.
Sun An gave her a deep look, then looked at Murong Mingshu, who was leaning against the bed, and said, "Take care of your mother."
"Of course, you don't need to say that."
This sentence actually contained some provocative taste. Xu Chuanchuan felt uncomfortable listening to it, let alone Sun An
Surprisingly, Sun An didn't have a seizure. He seemed to be trying his best to hold back his emotions, and finally left without saying anything.
Murong Shi went to close the door.
Murong Mingshu sighed heavily and said, "You father and daughter have finally seen each other, why can't you communicate well?"
Murong Shi said nothing.
Did it come at the wrong time? Xu Chuanchuan was a little overwhelmed: "That... I... "
Murong Mingshu noticed her, smiled tenderly, and said, "Chuanchuan can't speak anymore."
Xu Chuanchuan laughed twice.
Murong Mingshu took her hand affectionately: "You came to see me specifically, right? Don't worry, I'm fine."
Murong Shi was displeased and said, "It's okay to faint? Do you know how dangerous it is for the elderly to suffer from heat stroke? You are no longer young, how dare you go out in such a bright sun? There are no seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls like you now. Is it bad to blow the air conditioner at home?"
Murong Mingshu seemed to be used to it. She listened silently and said, "A girl can't be so fierce."
"Don't be fierce, you don't have a long memory. I've told you how many times. You don't have to do the dirty work yourself in the future. If you don't listen, you ran to catch the chickens yourself last time, and the chickens pecked your hands. You are so Why are you so disobedient? How can you let me go out to work at ease?"
Murong Mingshu pressed her forehead and said, "Yes, yes, you are right, I will definitely listen to you next time. Why did you become so nagging, and your temper is not good, what should you do if no one asks for it in the future? "
Murong Shi stretched his long arms around Xu Chuanchuan's shoulders and said meaningfully, "Don't worry about this."
No one noticed Xu Chuanchuan's smile a little stiff.
Seeing that Murong Mingshu was all right, Xu Chuanchuan finally felt relieved, but he still had one thing on his mind.
In order not to disturb Murong Mingshu's rest, the two of them withdrew. Only then did Murong Shi get a chance to get close to her, leaned into her ear, and said, "You don't have to go to work tomorrow, don't leave tonight."
The warm breath penetrated into his ears, and his whole body was numb. Xu Chuanchuan pushed her away sensitively and kept a proper distance from her: "I have something to tell you."
Murong Shi's face was full of smiles: "What?"
Behind Murong Mingshu's room, Aunt Lian was busy in the kitchen downstairs, Xu Chuanchuan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Go to your room."
Murong Shi's eyes lit up, she couldn't wait to drag her back to the room, closed the door, turned around and pressed her against the door.
Xu Chuanchuan inhaled: "Hey!"
"It hurts?" Murong Shi completely misunderstood what she meant, and tried to hug her between the entry board and her back, but was blocked by something.
Xu Chuanchuan struggled slightly.
"What?" Murong Shi looked down and saw that it was a bag, so he had to help her take it down.
Xu Chuanchuan held her hand: "I have something to say."
"Let's kiss again. We haven't seen each other for a day." Murong Shi's fiery lips fell.
Xu Chuanchuan couldn't be in the mood to make out with her now, he tilted his head, and Murong Shi's lips fell on her cheek.
The hand holding her arms was very small, but resistance to the accident was obvious, and the eager kiss became hesitant.
It was only at this moment that Murong Shi realized that Xu Chuanchuan was not quite right: "What's wrong?"
Xu Chuanchuan dodged to the side, his back pressed against the door, looked up at her, and went straight in: "Have you lied to me?"
Murong Shi burst into laughter, picked her index finger to her chin, and said, "What a sudden question. Of course not, why am I lying to you?"
"No?" Xu Chuanchuan grabbed her restless hand, his face sinking like water, and he said, "I'll give you another chance."
This was the first time Xu Chuanchuan had spoken to her in such a blunt tone. Murong Shi was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, put away her joking thoughts, and looked at her for a moment: "What are you trying to say?"
Xu Chuanchuan looked straight into her eyes, his voice did not fluctuate: "Did you not remember or did you act on purpose?"
Murong Shi lowered her eyes and frowned unhappily: "I don't like your expression and the way you talk."
The two were talking like chickens and ducks, and they were not speaking on the same channel at all. Xu Chuanchuan took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then I'll remind you."
"Reminder? Why can't I understand a word of what you said?" Murong Shi looked at her, looking down at her bag, "What are you looking for?"
The zipper got stuck for some reason, Xu Chuanchuan took a long time to pull it open, and took out the thing Linda gave her earlier.
"What is this?" Murong Shi asked again, and when Xu Chuanchuan lifted the thing up, she closed her mouth when she saw the express order.
"Do you see clearly?" Xu Chuanchuan did not miss the expression on her face, pointing to the sender's column, "'Xu XX', this is me. This is a book that I sent. Come and tell me, who is this 'passer-by-passer poem'?"
"… "
"You already knew my pen name, didn't you?"
"..." Murong Shi gradually remembered.
It was too long, and so many things happened in the middle, Murong Shi completely forgot about the express. She wondered, wasn't the courier delivered to Linda's house? Why is it in Xu Chuanchuan's hands
Murong Shi's mind turned and turned, and the expression on his face changed and changed.
Xu Chuanchuan was impatient after waiting for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't want to admit it, right? Linda told me that this address was filled in by you on purpose, except this time, the six books last time. It was also sent to her. 'Passerby Poetry' is obviously you, why do you keep playing with me?!"
"..." After all precautions, this joint was finally missed. What else can I say if the evidence is convincing? Murong Shi raised his hand in surrender, "Yes, it's me, but I didn't play tricks on you."
"How dare you say no?!" A surge of blood rushed to his forehead, Xu Chuanchuan unconsciously raised his voice, "You read my novels, peep at my Weibo while wearing this vest, and ask me to write articles praising you. Call me to the office to read it to you, and you still record it! You made fun of me on QQ because you voted so much for me, this is not a joke, what are you talking about?!"
"I… "
"I still have chat records in my phone, do you want to argue?"
Xu Chuanchuan became more and more agitated, and her voice became sharper every time. Murong Shi tried to appease her: "It's not a big deal, you calm down first."
Xu Chuanchuan was stunned: "I acted with me in a vest, lied to me, lied to me for so long, and you actually said it wasn't a big deal?"
Murong Shi was choked for a moment, then paused, and said, "Listen to my explanation first."
"Explain what? Look at what you said to me on Weibo and QQ, didn't you mean to fool me?"
"I... I just thought you were funny at first, nothing else."
Xu Chuanchuan couldn't help sneering: "Is it fun to play people? Don't you think you're going too far?"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me."
"… "
"Boom boom boom-"
After the knock on the door came, Xu Chuanchuan was taken aback.
Immediately afterwards, Murong Mingshu's voice came in: "Why are you so noisy, what are you two doing inside?"
Xu Chuanchuan secretly said that it was bad, and for a moment she forgot that it was in someone else's house. She quickly packed up her emotions and turned to open the door.
Seeing Murong Mingshu with a sick face outside the door, Xu Chuanchuan felt guilty, supported her, and said, "Did it affect your rest?"
"That's not true. I wanted to go downstairs, but suddenly I heard a lot of movement inside. I thought you were arguing."
Murong Shi walked out and said without changing his face, "We didn't quarrel."
Xu Chuanchuan: "..." It was true that there was no quarrel, she was alone.
Murong Shi glanced at Xu Chuanchuan worriedly, and Xu Chuanchuan deliberately turned his head away.
"..." Now is not the time for trouble, Murong Shi asked Murong Mingshu softly, "Dinner isn't ready, would you like to lie down for a while?"
Murong Mingshu waved her hand and said, "It's been a long day, and my waist can't take it anymore. I'll go down for a walk."
So Murong Shi and Xu Chuanchuan went downstairs with Murong Mingshu, supporting each other.
Xu Chuanchuan prepared his emotions and said, "Auntie, since you're fine, I'll go first."
Murong Shi looked at her in surprise: "Aunt Lian is already preparing dinner."
"That's right, come here, eat before leaving." Murong Mingshu said.
"I'm not hungry." Xu Chuanchuan shrugged, trying not to laugh so dryly, and said without blushing and panting, "I have something to do later, so I have to go back before it gets dark. Auntie, you are fine. Rest, I'm leaving."
"Ah? You just left?" Murong Mingshu didn't react.
"Goodbye." Xu Chuanchuan waved his hand, "Help me tell Aunt Lian, you don't need to send it."
Having said that, Murong Shi still followed her out, and quickly grabbed her hand to prevent her from slipping away: "Didn't I already say goodbye to you? Should I walk after eating? I'll take you back after eating."
"You don't need to send it, I can go by myself." Xu Chuanchuan shook off her hand with a stern face.
Murong Shi said softly, "It's easy to get motion sickness in the car on an empty stomach."
"Motion sickness has nothing to do with you." Xu Chuanchuan glared at her.
"..." Murong Shi looked helpless, "Then what do you want me to do to forgive me?"
Xu Chuanchuan was so hot that she couldn't think. She didn't even understand why she was angry and blurted out, "I don't want to talk to you today."
Murong Shi: "..."
Almost venting, he stuffed the courier into her arms, and Xu Chuan walked in the direction of the elevator angrily.
Murong Shi didn't catch it, and with a "pop", the courier fell to the ground.
Murong Shi didn't even look at her, she went to chase after her, and suddenly heard Murong Mingshu shouting from inside, "Little Shi—"
Murong Shi was slightly startled.
After only a second of hesitation, Xu Chuanchuan rushed into the elevator.
The moment he rushed out of the elevator, the phone rang, and seeing that it was Murong Shi's call, Xu Chuanchuan hung up without even thinking about it.
This should be the first time they had a conflict after they were together, and Xu Chuanchuan had mixed feelings in his heart. She knew that Murong Shi would definitely not catch up. After all, Murong Mingshu just had to stay and take care of it when something like that happened today.
She didn't answer the phone, so Murong Shi changed to WeChat, and sent one message after another, all of which were explanations and apologies. Xu Chuanchuan didn't reply.
After a few minutes, Xu Chuanchuan had already boarded a taxi, and Murong Shi was still posting, and she began to lose her mind.
Murong Shi's attitude of admitting mistakes is very positive, and it can even be said to be low-pitched. Xu Chuanchuan held the mobile phone and began to reflect on himself: Did I do it too much
She almost forgave her, but when she opened the private messages on Weibo, opened QQ, and read the messages sent to her by "Passerby Poetry" before, she was not angry.
How can someone be so boring? He clearly knew who she was, but he deliberately put on a vest to fool her.
Murong Shi actually said before that how insincere she is, who is insincere!
Thanks to her telling Murong Shi about her own writing, Murong Shi pretended to be stupid with her, and asked her to teach her how to write comments and throw thunder!
She acted so innocently and so like, Xu Chuanchuan still taught her hands-on complacently, Murong Shi must have been happy at that time, right
Really pissed off.
Wouldn't it be cheap for her to forgive her like that
After some struggle, Xu Chuanchuan turned off WeChat, switched his fingers to QQ, clicked on An Ji's avatar, and his fingers trembled as he typed.
Xu Chuanchuan: "Let me tell you, the passerby poem is the bastard Murong!"
Anji: "What's the situation???"
Typing was not easy, and it took Xu Chuanchuan a long time to explain clearly to An Ji.
An Ji: "My God, this Murong is too good to play!"
Xu Chuanchuan: "So you think I should be angry?!"
Anji: "How do you want me to answer? It's not easy for couples to quarrel and outsiders to get involved [Tan Shou]"
Even the "life mentor" An Ji didn't help her anymore, and Xu Chuanchuan was suddenly confused.
Naturally, she wouldn't doubt Murong Shi's feelings for her, but she just felt unwilling to be played for so long in vain, so the cold war began.
- "In the code word?"
-"have you eaten?"
"Are you still angry?"
- "Tomorrow, I'll ask Aunt Lian to make you your favorite dish and send it to you, okay?"
- "Sleep?"
…
Since leaving Murong's house, Xu Chuanchuan's cell phone has not stopped, she simply turned off the sound and vibration.
An Ji invited her to code together, but she couldn't calm down after opening the document for a long time, so Xu Chuanchuan had to give up.
After turning off the computer, lying on the soft big bed, and smelling the familiar perfume that belonged to Murong Shi, Xu Chuanchuan felt irritable.
She has never quarreled with anyone, and a cold war is even more impossible, and now I regret it a bit.
In fact, Murong Shi didn't do anything heinous, but she didn't make trouble until now.
"I'm going to take a shower." This is the message Murong Shi sent her five minutes ago.
The phone finally stopped, but Xu Chuanchuan's heart was empty. She was too easy to be soft-hearted, it was obviously Murong Shi's fault, but she blamed herself for being too hypocritical.
But he couldn't pull his face down to make up, and Xu Chuanchuan felt like a roller coaster all day.
There was no one beside the bed, and it felt like something was missing. Xu Chuanchuan didn't sleep well all night, and opened his eyes to look forward to the dawn.
When the day finally dawned, she couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep. In a daze, she felt that someone was staring at her quietly beside the bed.
As soon as this idea came up, Xu Chuanchuan woke up suddenly, opened her eyes and saw that there was indeed a person squatting beside the bed, she was still a little confused.
"Did I quarrel with you?" Murong Shi was wearing a white shirt with long hair covering her shoulders. She looked so gentle, even her voice seemed to be full of doting.
Xu Chuanchuan was stabbed in the heart, she opened her mouth, but let out a long yawn: "..."
Murong Shi helped her to push the hair that was blocking her eyes aside, and said, "It's still early, just go to sleep if you want."
Xu Chuanchuan was really sleepy, her head was dizzy, and she subconsciously hugged Murong Shi's hand and rubbed it.
Murong Shi looked at her with a smile on her face: "Are you willing to forgive me?"
One sentence successfully awakened the memory of yesterday. Thinking of yesterday's unhappiness, Xu Chuanchuan threw away her hand and hummed dutifully, "No way!"
"Hey—" Murong Shi sighed.
No sleepiness, Xu Chuanchuan got up lazily, she patted off Murong Shi's hand that was reaching out to hug her, and when she looked down, she saw a bunch of strange things on the ground: "What are these?"
She was sleepy, and her voice was hoarse, sounding like a spoiled child. Murong Shi wanted to kiss her, but worried about hitting a nail like yesterday, so she held it back, pointed to something on the ground and said, "Washboard, durian, and a malfunctioning keyboard."
Xu Chuanchuan was stunned: "What are you doing with these things?"
"You choose one."
Not quite conscious, Xu Chuanchuan rubbed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"Which one do you want me to kneel on?"
"… "
