There is a small frozen lake by the roadside. Su Jingsheng was afraid that he would be thrown into it by Rong Ci after he finished asking, so he wrapped his hands and feet around him at the same time, and reassured him a little louder: "I really just find it strange to ask." It's just a question, I'm not interested in teasing you, so don't overthink it!"
Hearing this, Rong Ci kept his head slightly tilted and did not speak for a long time. The light snowflakes were flying around, and some of them fluttered and fell on his long eyelashes, and melted into water droplets into his eyes, but he He didn't even move his eyelids, as if he had suddenly stopped.
Su Jingyang couldn't help but get nervous, won't, won't be really hit by what he said! !
Rong Ci closed his eyes for a moment before turning his face away with an unclear expression, and continued to walk steadily forward with his back behind his back, with a faint voice: "Do you think I will fall in love with you?"
Su Jingyang has consciously interpreted these words as denials, heaved a sigh of relief, loosened his hands and feet, leaned on his shoulder and said: "I don't think so, this is really the best. Because if you really like If I do, I won't be responsible."
Rong Ci said: "Who said you were responsible?"
Su Jingyang asked with a puzzled expression: "What's your point of view, don't you need to be responsible for your feelings?"
Rong Ci said: "There are so many people who love me, are you responsible? Have you seen who I am responsible for? Oh, except for Yang Yang."
Su Jingyang said in his heart, "Okay, then my worries are unnecessary." He thought of something, and quickly changed his words: "No, I mean, if you like someone else, don't you expect others to be responsible for you? "
Rong Ci's dark eyes were bottomless, and he curled his lips and said in a manly voice: "There are few people who say they are responsible, but I have not seen a few who can really be responsible for a lifetime. These are all lies. It's better to be happy every day. Worrying so much about what to do.”
Su Jingyang was surprised when he heard this, "Yes, you are very chic." After a pause, Su Jingyang continued: "However, if you can say that, you probably haven't met someone you really like. If you are possessive, when you meet the right person, your point of view will definitely change, and you will not be as calm as you are now."
Su Jingyang was more at ease, this person was obviously really not interested in him, it seemed that he really was thinking too much.
Rong Ci stared at the vast expanse of whiteness in the distance, and said in a low voice after a long time: "It's better to vary from person to person, and play by ear, otherwise you'll be too radical and prone to bad things."
Su Jingyang leaned on his shoulder, and smiled, "It turns out that you have such deep thoughts, and you don't know which unlucky person will fall in your favor, and you will definitely not be able to escape by then!"
Rong Ci snorted inexplicably from his nasal cavity: "You're right."
Su Jingyang thought for a while and couldn't help asking him: "I still don't understand why you believed Murong as soon as he said it, and came to me suddenly? Now you are still willing to carry me, don't you hate me as much as you say?" , already regard me as a friend?"
Rong Ci quickly said: "I don't have a friend like you."
"I'm like this? What's wrong with me?" Su Jingyang was upset, "Is my behavior bad? I'm not good enough to be your friend? Then why do you still carry me? If you dislike me so much, you can let me go."
Rong Ci raised his voice slightly: "Are you sure you want to come down?"
Su Jingyang raised his head to recognize the way, and realized that there was still a long way to go, so he pretended that he hadn't said this, and asked nonchalantly: "You didn't answer my question just now, you don't like me, and you don't regard me as a friend, why did you run away?" Come save me? Why?"
Rong Ci: "You have too many questions, and you refuse to answer them. If you ask one more word from now on, I will throw you down."
"..."
Rong Ci carried Su Jingyang back to Lingli's house, Su Jingyang let him go in for a cup of hot tea, but Rong Ci said no, turned and left, and went back to his home.
Su Jingyang went in and found that Ronghua had sent Ah Xuan home, and the three of them were roasting sweet potatoes around the brazier in the room, and the aroma was lingering.
Ling Li, who was looking outside the door from time to time, saw him coming in, and hurriedly got up to get a dry towel to dust off the snow on his body.
Ah Xuan happily ran over and hugged Su Jingyang's hand, as if he was afraid that he would freeze, he opened his small mouth and breathed hot air at his hand. Su Jingyang rubbed his little head, picked him up and kissed him, A Xuan tilted him on his shoulder, "Uncle, I miss you."
Su Jingyang asked: "Where did you think?" A Xuan pointed to his heart, blinked his black and white eyes and said softly: "Here."
Su Jingyang suddenly felt sour in his eyes, and hugged him tightly in his arms, deeply moved in his heart. The thoughtfulness of what Ah Xuan said is one reason, and more because he noticed that the effect of Ah Xuan's return this time is much more obvious than the first time, his eyes are no longer as obvious as before, and his speech and thinking are also not clear. Much smoother. Su Jingyang felt very grateful and excited for this sign of getting better and better.
Rong Hua stood up and looked outside, then turned his head and asked Su Jingyang very puzzled: "Didn't you come back with Ah Yi? What about others? Why don't you come in?"
Only then did Su Jingyang remember to ask her, "Murong, why are you trying to lie to Ah Yi?"
Rong Hua flickered his eyes, stared at him quietly for a while, hooked the red hairband hanging between the black hair with his hands and twisted it, and replied with a bright smile: "It's fun!"
Su Jingyang was speechless for a while. Rong Hua quickly changed the subject and asked him how he was going today. Su Jingyang told him truthfully, but Rong Hua didn't have a big reaction. Lingli was obviously shocked by Hao Jiasheng's death and resurrection. After hearing that Hao Jiasheng proved Su Jingyang's innocence , he breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After he relaxed, he asked Ronghua to stay for dinner, and then went to the kitchen to make arrangements. A Xuan lay in Su Jingyang's arms and refused to come down. Su Jingyang sat down by the brazier with his arms in his arms.
Rong Hua approached him and asked him: "What, Ah Yi ran to save you, are you moved?"
Su Jingyang was already immersed in the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, and was swallowing secretly. Hearing Ronghua's question, Su Jingyang came to his senses, narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously: "Murong, you won't...you are trying to match us up. People?" This worried look is really similar to when he matched Ah Yi and Ling Li back then!
Rong Hua nodded calmly, "Yes, yes, I think he likes you quite a bit, but he won't say it."
"What did he say..." Su Jingyang tried hard to think back, and then reminded Ronghua with a serious face: "He said, 'If you dare to match me up again, you stupid brain, you can just chop it up yourself. , Feed it to pigs', you better stop, be careful to be scolded even more fiercely by him!"
Rong Hua: "..."
Su Jingyang raised his fingers to wipe off the saliva from the corner of Ah Xuan's mouth, and pulled out a hot sweet potato from the brazier with iron tongs, wrapped it in something, and peeled it for him to eat.
"He also admitted that he doesn't like me, and I'm not even a friend." Su Jingyang muttered.
Rong Hua pinched the center of his brows, as if he was very troubled.
Su Jingyang didn't seem to care much about this topic, and concentrated on feeding Ah Xuan. Rong Hua got up, looked at him again, and said to go to the next door first, then the red shadow flashed, Su Jingyang turned his head again When she came, no one saw her.
That day Rong Ci didn't come over to eat with Rong Hua, and he didn't see his person until Su Jingyang returned the chicken the next day. He was wearing a piece of clothing, and he seemed to have not woken up, he was a little angry, and didn't talk to Su Jingyang much. , took the chicken and threw it into the yard, then closed the door.
After that day, Su Jingyang didn't see Rong Ci for several days, and heard Rong Hua say that he had something to do with his family and went back to Rongcheng. Su Jingyang asked a lot, Rong Hua said that his mother was making trouble again, and he rushed back to deal with it. Rong Hua spoke vaguely, probably because there was something hidden, so Su Jingyang stopped asking further.
Because the road was too slippery, Linji Restaurant was closed for a period of time, and they didn't go until the sun started to melt the snow.
Su Jingyang heard the guests chatting at the counter and learned that Mrs. Hao had passed away. Hao Jiasheng simply held a funeral and sold the house, as if planning to leave the town.
Su Jingyang was listening to what they were saying, and he glanced casually. What a coincidence, he happened to see Hao Jiasheng who was about to get into the carriage and leave after buying dry food with a bag on his back not far away.
As if aware of the sight from this side, he paused, and suddenly looked towards this side with no expression, Su Jingyang didn't expect him to turn back, his hands shook, and the melon seeds almost fell off.
In the past, this guy was laughing and laughing, and he was useless, but Su Jingyang, who suddenly had a serious face, was not used to it yet. It seems that, as the doctor said, it's time for him to fully understand.
Rong Hua ran over from the back kitchen, leaned against the counter and grabbed his paws, kowtowed and followed Su Jingyang's line of sight, just in time to see Hao Jiasheng turning his face back with frosty eyebrows, getting into the carriage, and was stunned , and then asked Su Jingyang: "Who is it that you take it so seriously?"
"It's the Hao Jiasheng who came back from the dead."
Rong Hua was not too interested, and then looked away and continued to eat melon seeds. Su Jingyang turned his head to look at the backyard, and asked Rong Hua: "Who was Ah Li talking to there just now?"
Rong Hua put the smashed melon seeds on the counter into the word "hum", and said in his mouth: "It's the one who collects slops. She is five or six months pregnant. The one who is still out to work in the cold weather was almost hungry just now." Fainted, Ah Li invited him to sit in the back kitchen for a while and eat something warm."
Su Jingyang nodded clearly, "That's it."
The swill collector is called Xiang Cao. He is a two-person man. He is relatively taciturn. Every time he comes, he nods his head in greeting and rarely speaks. But Su Jingyang has heard about his tragic situation.
Xiang Cao is a child bride. There is a lazy husband and a wicked mother-in-law in the family. He has had children since he was fourteen, and now he is almost thirty. He has given birth to a total of ten children, most of them within three days. She would be sold by her mother-in-law, and now there are only two sons left at home to protect the blood, and there is a flawed daughter who cannot be sold. I heard that Xiangcao's two sons were instigated by their family and had a very bad temper. Some of them followed suit and beat and scolded Xiangcao and his handicapped sister frequently, and they didn't treat him as a human being at all. And his mother-in-law would either pick her teeth and bask in the sun, chew her mouth around, or sleep at home after eating and drinking. All the work was waiting for Xiang Cao to go home after finishing her work, and her life was very leisurely. Xiang Cao's husband has nothing to do, so he relies on Xiang Cao to make money to drink a little wine. After drinking, he likes to go crazy. If he disagrees with him, he will go home and beat Xiang Cao. Unhealed, new injuries continue. But no one has heard him cry out for pain, and no one has heard him complain. He seems to be numb.
Su Jingyang felt that he was really pitiful. Now that he was pregnant, he had to continue to work, and he was forced to have a son, just because the price of selling a son would be several times higher. Moreover, the laws of this dynasty are not perfect, and the government will not care about it.
Su Jingyang didn't have the position to accuse him of submissiveness, and scolded him for not knowing how to resist, because after some things have been instilled in you since childhood, it is really difficult to correct them. It was not uncommon in his era, let alone this time and space.
Lingli went back that night to pack up some old clothes that Ah Xuan couldn't wear, folded them up, packed them together in a bundle, and prepared to bring them to Xiangcao's daughter, but the next day he waited and waited for him to come, and later heard that People said that they found out that he was beaten to miscarriage, and the child was gone. Lingli hugged the pile of clothes, his expression was a little sad, Su Jingyang also sighed for a while, who the hell are these people!
That night, when work was over, Su Jingyang noticed that there were a few gangsters outside the restaurant looking at him furtively. He looked away, but his evil intentions were already written on his body.
Su Jingyang probably guessed it. It must be that the owner of Yunxiang Restaurant is trying to make up his mind again. He tricked Liu Yue's parents to expose Lingli in public in order to destroy the business of Linji Restaurant, but he didn't expect that Linji Restaurant Not only did it not collapse, but it was able to maintain it normally, so I couldn't sit still and wanted to play tricks.
Su Jingyang didn't know what they were going to do, but he could use his knees to figure it out. This time's posture must be a personal threat.
Lingli packed up, took the child from the nanny, and prepared to leave with Su Jingyang unconsciously, but Su Jingyang tore his clothes, turned his back to the door and said softly: "Ah Li, there are some strange people over there. Yes, let's see what's going on before we go."
This night, neither he nor Lingli knew martial arts, and they had a child with them, so it was really difficult to fight against any situation. If it is not possible, they will deal with it all night in the restaurant, and there will be officials patrolling at night, so they should not dare to make too much publicity.
Lingli held Ah Xuan in shock for a moment, and hurriedly looked over his shoulder to the street, only to find that the group of suspicious looking people suddenly dispersed, blended into the crowd and disappeared.
Lingli's expression also turned serious, he hugged Ah Xuan tightly, and said to Su Jingyang, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The two stood there silently, and the atmosphere froze for a while, when a slender figure appeared at the door of the restaurant, and he knocked on the half-closed door with his fingers curled up, with a clear and pleasant voice, "You guys are still not leaving, what are you doing?"
When Su Jingyang heard this extremely familiar voice, he turned his head abruptly. Sure enough, when he saw Rong Ci's handsome face in the dim night, he suddenly became happy for some reason, and a very strong sense of security surged in his heart, as if he saw him. Nothing to worry about.
Su Jingyang hurriedly ran to the door, his eyes curved, and he smiled brightly at him, "Ayi! When did you come back?"
