It was past eleven o'clock that night, almost twelve o'clock, when the doorbell rang again. Xu Tingsheng opened the door with sleepy eyes in his pajamas.
This time it was Dad Xiang who came in and put a bottle of wine and a package of appetizers on the table. "Are you asleep? I woke you up. I just took a break in this store, so I came to find you a drink. How are you? Are you all right?"
"Just lay down for a while. I'm fine, thank you uncle." Xu Tingsheng replied carefully.
"That's good, ouch, this is pretty good, let me take a look at the house." Dad Xiang said.
Taking Dad Xiang around several rooms, Xu Tingsheng found that Dad Xiang wasn't paying attention to the house at all. In his room, Dad Xiang pretended to casually reach out and touch his bed... He was checking whether the bed was It's hot, did Xu Tingsheng really sleep here just now...
After looking around the rooms outside, Father Xiang asked, "Where's Xiao Ning? Are you asleep?"
"Sleeping." Xu Tingsheng opened the door carefully.
Xiang's father took a look and said to himself: "This child, the air conditioner is blowing, and he doesn't even say that the quilt is covered."
The words were for Xu Tingsheng. Father Xiang entered the room and pretended to cover Xiang Ning with a quilt, but in reality, he was also observing carefully to see if Xiang Ning had really fallen asleep or if he had been sleeping here all the time.
Coming out of the room and closing the door, Dad Xiang's expression became obviously relaxed.
He didn't call again, this time it was a surprise raid in the middle of the night, observing, probing, and matching expressions... There is no doubt that this is another surprise inspection...
I think Xiang's parents and mother Xiang came because the restaurant was too busy, so they made a compromise because they were worried about leaving Xiang Ning alone at home... But it's the same with Xu Tingsheng, they still don't feel at ease.
Sure enough, Dad Xiang didn't come to ask Xu Tingsheng for a drink at all. He should be so tired that he just wanted to sleep. After sitting down for less than 20 minutes, he hadn't had a few sips of wine and basically didn't eat anything. Dad Xiang justified that he had to get up early tomorrow. Went to the market to buy vegetables, and then hurried back.
They checked twice a day, and one of them was a raid in the middle of the night. Now, they might be able to relax a bit.
Xu Tingsheng washed up again and returned to his room.
As soon as she lay down, Xiao Xiang Ning opened the door and came in, jumped onto the bed, and said excitedly: "Wow, Xu Tingsheng, you are so smart... My dad really came to check in the middle of the night. He almost got caught."
"What do you mean by being almost caught? We were fine." Xu Tingsheng quibbled, and then said, "Go back to sleep."
Xiao Xiang Ning looked at the time and said, "Wait, I'll steal the food first. Many people will confiscate it at this time."
Xu Tingsheng was helpless for a while, and said, "Didn't it be agreed? Give me your vegetable plot, and you are only allowed to look at it once a week."
"Then you won't steal it, and you won't let me steal it, and you said that you will guarantee that I will be the first among your classmates." Xiao Xiang Ning looked distrustful.
Xu Tingsheng sighed, and said, "Student Xiang Ning, I made this game, okay? Don't worry, I have a solution."
"Are you going to cheat?"
"Yes", Xu Tingsheng nodded and said, "Go to sleep."
"Well, sleep."
Xiao Xiang Ning obediently answered, slipped into Xu Tingsheng's bed, wrapped herself up, closed her eyes, and then remained motionless, as if she fell asleep all at once...
This is a fool's play.
"Go back to sleep..." Xu Tingsheng said with a straight face.
"They have checked everything." Xiao Xiang Ning said.
"After the inspection, I have to go back to sleep."
"...I'm scared by myself."
Just like that, Xu Tingsheng was reading a book, and Xiao Xiang Ning put one hand on his body, lying quietly with her eyes closed, maybe everything was so warm and simple, it made people feel calm, but this time, it was really gone. The original impulse.
Little Xiang Ning turned over, and just when Xu Tingsheng thought she had really fallen asleep, he saw from the corner of her eyes that she was walking towards the door with her back bent.
"What are you doing?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
Little Xiang Ning stopped, stood up and said, "Shall I go to the bathroom?"
"Why are you so sneaky when you go to the bathroom?"
"Afraid to disturb you."
"Uh, let's go then."
No one came back for half an hour.
When Xu Tingsheng caught Xiao Xiang Ning, she was sitting cross-legged in an office chair in front of the computer, eating the snacks that Xu Tingsheng brought her when he went out to buy vegetables in the afternoon, while clicking the mouse to patrol and steal vegetables from house to house.
The profiteers finally tricked him. Xu Tingsheng had a big head and said helplessly, "What's so interesting about this broken game?"
Xiao Xiangning looked at him and said, "I'm here to support you. Look, I stole a lot just now."
"Okay, then steal it now, can you go back to sleep?" Xu Tingsheng said.
"No, I'll wait a little longer, this classmate's dish will be cooked in a while." Xiao Xiang Ning opened a piece of dish and pointed it to Xu Tingsheng, "She has a high rank, so stealing her dish is very valuable."
"But after stealing her food, you will find that another classmate's food is almost ready, and there will be another meeting, so you won't have to sleep all night." Xu Tingsheng analyzed.
Little Xiang Ning actually nodded and said, "Well, once you say it, it's really true, then I'll go to bed when the dishes of these two classmates are cooked."
Xu Tingsheng straightened his face.
"Then I'll wait for this one." Xiao Xiang Ning said timidly.
Just like that, one was sitting and reading, the other was eating snacks and playing computer games. After playing for a while, Xiao Xiang Ning suddenly turned to ask Xu Tingsheng, "Would you choose Wangqing Water or Regret Medicine?"
Xu Tingsheng was taken aback by this abrupt question, and asked back, "What?"
"Forget love water or regret medicine? Someone asked a question on Weibo."
"..."
"Um?"
"Regret medicine."
"Why?"
"Because I can't bear to forget. Because I want to do it all over again."
"Me? Hee."
"Um."
"Oh, why are you crying? I don't want you."
"Um."
Maybe it was because she could sense Xu Tingsheng's emotional fluctuations, and could see that he was in a bad state at the moment. Little Xiang Ning came over, hugged him, and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Xu Tingsheng wiped away his tears, stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly, and said, "It's good that you're still here."
How many careless misses there are in this world, how many people didn't know it at the time, how many people have no way to look back, how many people can't regret after they settle down... There are so many people who want a medicine for regret.
If there is regret medicine, who wants to forget love water
…
…
I slept very late that night.
Little Xiang Ning coaxed the liar uncle like a child.
The two lives were intertwined, the previous life was the scene where she turned and left resolutely at the end, and it was constantly replayed. The person in this life, with his thin arms, insisted on pillowing behind his head, with a young face, trying to pretend to be an adult.
"As long as you don't choose Wangqingshui, I will always give you regret medicine." Xiao Xiang Ning said.
