I pretended to squat down to tie my shoelaces, waited for the man to run past me, and secretly turned back to look. Chen Jingbo stopped and waited for the man to catch up. The two of them whispered something and slowly walked back to their residence. I hid behind a big tree on the side of the road and watched. After waiting for a while, I saw the two of them come out of the house, but they didn't notice me and walked straight onto the road. Just then a bus came by and drove away.
Damn it, how come I didn't know that buses go to such a remote suburb. It doesn't matter if I lose the person, the monk can escape but the temple cannot.
I now found that my clothes were wrinkled and covered with dirt. When I thought about standing next to a beautiful girl like Xiao Yaojing, why didn't I feel ashamed at all? No wonder Chen Jingbo and the other two didn't even look at me when they met me. I guess they thought I was a migrant worker brother. No, I have to go back and change my clothes first.
I got on the street and hailed a taxi back home. As soon as I entered the house, my mother saw me dressed like this and looked distressed. She quickly asked me if I had eaten lunch. I said no, and asked me to take a shower first, and she immediately went to the kitchen to cook. I stuck out my tongue to Shen Bing and hurried into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, I asked Shen Bing where Zhao Xiaosheng was. She nodded towards her mother's bedroom and said that the child was worried after returning and locked himself in the room and refused to come out. I pushed open the door and saw Xiaosheng lying on the windowsill, staring blankly outside. Now I didn't find where my sister-in-law was, so I thought it was better not to greet him, lest he ask the question again and I couldn't answer it, so I closed the door gently again.
My mother had already prepared the meal. It was already past two in the afternoon and they had already eaten. But my mother and Shen Bing still sat with me at the dining table. My mother looked gloomy but never said anything. Of course, I didn't dare to speak and just ate in silence.
After dinner, when my mother was clearing the dishes, she shook her head and said, "Don't let me worry about you anymore. Go to sleep."
I was so scared that I lowered my head and dared not make a sound.
Shen Bing winked at me and said, "Come and help me move the head of the bed."
I said "oh" and followed her to the bedroom. I thought to myself, why did she move the bedside properly? She must be asking me why I got off at the crematorium? Sure enough, Shen Bing pulled me to the bedside. This angle could not be seen from outside the door. She whispered this in my ear.
There was nothing to hide, so he told her everything, including how he got off the bus there because of the ashes on his feet, and then met a pretty little fairy who led him to the vegetable market, and what he found in Chen Jingbo's rental house. However, Lei Laowan's words about his son-in-law could not be said even if he was beaten to death.
Shen Bing was stunned. She didn't expect so many things to happen this morning. She blinked, grabbed my chest and asked, "Tell me the truth, are you attracted to the little fairy?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "She's not as pretty as you, she's not as unreasonable as you, and she's only half as stubborn as you..."
"You stupid bumpkin, you're beating around the bush and calling me unreasonable and stubborn." Shen Bing gritted her teeth in anger and spoke loudly.
My mother asked outside the door: "Xiao Bing, what's wrong with you? Did Xiao Feng bully you again?"
"Uh... No, I bumped into it accidentally." Shen Bing quickly made up a lie.
I held back my laughter and said with a straight face, "You are always so careless in doing things. You can't remember anything I tell you. What can I say about you?"
