I stretched out my hand to wipe away the tears on my face, sniffed and said, "How did you know I was here?"
"Mobile phone location." Liang Sheng stretched out his hand to pull me up. After holding the same position for a long time, my legs were a little numb. When I walked, I felt like millions of ants were biting the soles of my feet.
He took the suitcase from my hand, held my hand and walked forward. He first put me in the passenger seat, then stuffed my suitcase into the trunk, and then returned to the driver's seat to fasten it for me. seat belt.
I watched his coherent movements, and my eyes felt hot. As the car drove out of the traffic light intersection in front of me, I asked him: "Why don't you ask me anything?"
Liang Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had already guessed what happened, but he still said cooperatively: "Then tell me, why did you run away from home?"
I sighed and wanted to say it, but I didn’t know how to speak. I hesitated for a while and asked instead, "Can you take me in for a few days?"
Liang Sheng's hand holding the steering wheel stiffened for a few seconds, then nodded, "Yeah."
His precious words at this time made me a little depressed. Since he would go out of his way to collect my location address, he should have guessed that there would probably be a conflict between my parents and me. After all, this incident was considered to be caused by him. , but he didn’t mention a word about it. I asked him, "Why did you agree to my dad's resignation? You clearly know what he means."
Liang Sheng kept the speed of the car moving forward steadily, remained silent for a moment, and replied: "Yanyan, I'm afraid you will regret it."
"What do you regret?" I was puzzled.
For the first time, I hated how deep he was. I didn’t know what he was thinking, and I couldn’t understand his thoughts and perceptions. I seriously felt that the communication between me and him was problematic. At this time, I had no intention of guessing his heart.
Seeing that I was a little irritable, Liang Sheng explained to me calmly: "They are your parents, and now is the time when their attitudes are the strongest. If we confront them head-on, the consequences can be imagined. Let me ask you, if you were at the gate of the community, would your father If I refuse to resign for you, what will happen to your father?"
I calmed down, thought for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "He will be very angry, very angry." He even slapped me in public.
"Is that what you want?" Liang Sheng asked again.
I shook my head, hesitated, and shook my head one after another.
Liang Sheng reached out and rubbed my hair, "Don't think too much. I'll take you to the apartment now. You can have a good rest for a few days, and then go home and apologize to your parents. As for work, we'll discuss it after the year."
"Yeah." Every time I'm in a bad mood, Liang Sheng's few words can easily soothe my mood and make me calm down slowly.
Sometimes I feel that I am already very mature, but compared with Liang Sheng, I always seem to be much immature. Like an elder, he treats everything rationally and predicts the possible consequences, while I only care about my mood at the time, regardless of the consequences.
I can learn a lot from him, I just don’t know when I will become as mature as him.
Back at the apartment, Qiao Wan happened to be having a video chat with Liang Rui. When she saw me pulling in the suitcase, her face was full of surprise: "Does Yanyan know that I am bored here alone during the Chinese New Year and wants to come to accompany me?"
I smiled awkwardly not knowing how to respond.
Liang Sheng put my suitcase aside, came over and put his arm around my shoulders, and answered for me: "Isn't it enough that you have Liang Rui with you?"
"Oh, Liang Rui, Liang Rui, look at your brother, he has a wife and has forgotten his mother." Qiao Wan pursed her lips and pretended to be unhappy.
On the laptop screen on the coffee table, Xiao Liang Rui was sitting in a boss chair with a serious look, "If I had a daughter-in-law like my genius sister, I would also forget about my mother."
The next second, Xiao Liang Rui looked around in panic on the screen and said, "Why did you turn off my display?!"
A quiet voice came, neither high nor low: "Aren't you going to forget me?"
"You're such an adult, can't you tell I'm joking?" Xiao Liangrui sounded like a young adult, and his words were unambiguous. My original gloomy mood suddenly cleared up, and I finally felt relieved. The urge to laugh.
The screen on Liang Rui's side has probably returned to normal, and there is a smile of satisfaction on his young face.
Qiao Wan couldn't help but gasped, "If I weren't old, I would still be jealous of my daughter-in-law."
Qiao Wan smiled and called me over to sit next to her. Xiao Liang Rui saw my face full of surprise from the video, "Genius sister!"
I smiled stiffly and waved to him: "Hi, Xiao Liangrui, how are you in the United States?"
Xiao Liangrui hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No, I won't have time to catch the doll after coming here."
"Are you busy every day?" I asked him.
He nodded, "I have to go to school during the day, participate in various extracurricular activities at night, and give my dad a backbeat when I get home."
It turned out that he lived with Liang Mohua, but he was Liang Mohua's son. Naturally, he and Ning Jing went to the United States to find Liang Mohua. Who would they live with if they didn't live with his father? I glanced at Qiao Wan subconsciously. The smile on her face was gone. Her eyes were always calm and there was no disturbance. It seemed that she didn't care at all that Liang Mohua was with another woman.
Qiao Wan noticed my sizing, smiled at me, and chatted with Xiao Liangrui for a while. After the video ended, she said to me: "Do you think I should be sad?"
It’s not that I should be sad. I didn’t know what to say. I lowered my eyes and didn’t answer.
Liang Sheng was cooking noodles in the kitchen, with a strong fragrance wafting in the air.
Qiao Wan stood up, stretched his muscles, and said, "Liang Mohua and I are originally a family marriage, with no emotional basis. Besides, we are so old. Things that we didn't care about when we were young will naturally not take it to heart when we are old. Waiting for you In a few years, you will feel that the gains and losses you are struggling with now are not that important.”
I lowered my head, thinking about her words.
Liang Sheng came out with two bowls of noodles. Qiao Wan said with a smile, "You guys can eat. I made an appointment with a friend and went out first."
After saying that, he walked towards the entrance.
Liang Sheng asked her: "When will you come back?"
Qiao Wan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "If you don't come back today, it's up to you two."
As soon as she left, I felt a little embarrassed.
Liang Sheng paused for a few seconds and then placed the two bowls of noodles on the coffee table after realizing that it was too hot. "I don't know if you like shredded chicken noodles or not."
I simply calmed down and smiled, "Can I still choose now?"
Liang Sheng frowned slightly, as if he was about to be venomous. I grabbed the chopsticks to eat, smiled and nodded: "I love eating, I love eating."
Someone's low laughter came to my ears. I pursed my lips and ate the noodles with big mouthfuls.
When we were eating a bowl of noodles, I insisted on washing the dishes, but Liang Sheng happened to answer the phone and couldn't help me. In the middle of washing, he finished his phone call and slipped into the kitchen. He put his arm around my waist from behind and rubbed me in my ear, acting like a child. "Can I stay here tonight?"
My heart skipped a beat, and when I wasn't paying attention, the bowl in my hand slipped into the sewage. I picked it up and washed it again. I replied nonchalantly: "This is your home, it's up to you."
Although he seemed indifferent on the surface, in fact, he still hoped that he could stay with me.
Liang Sheng took advantage of the situation and took a bite of my earlobe, and chuckled: "Great, I'm going to take a shower."
"I only said you could stay, but I didn't say I wanted to be with you." Halfway through, I realized something was wrong, but I couldn't take it back.
Liang Sheng looked into my eyes and smiled evilly, "What are you talking to me about?"
"Nothing, go take your shower." I put the washed bowl aside and pushed him away with my wet hands.
Liang Sheng smiled slightly and followed my strength and walked out.
When I finished tidying up the kitchen and returned to the living room, I vaguely heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. I threw myself into the sofa and leaned heavily against it. I was not asleep when Liang Sheng came out, but my eyes were so sore that I didn't want to open them at all.
The familiar fragrance slowly approached. Liang Sheng picked me up and walked to the bedroom. I leaned greedily in his arms, not wanting to think about anything.
After all, Qiao Wan didn't come back all night. I slept very deeply without even a dream.
When I woke up, the sun was already shining on half of the bed. Liang Sheng was lying on his side next to me, sleeping peacefully with one hand on my waist. He was breathing evenly, and the lines on his profile looked lazy and handsome in this early morning.
For a second, I felt that this was the life I wanted. Every time I woke up, he was with the sun.
