Chapter 66 2 (3)

I found myself sprawled on the table, covered with a blanket.

He was startled, and hurriedly went to find his mother's box. As soon as he sat up, he saw the box quietly placed on the seat next to him, as if his mother was sitting there.

Looking at the small package lying quietly on the chair, Chen Ju couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and she reached out to hug the small package again in her arms.

clumsy chasing wife

"Sir? What kind of lunch box do you want?" The train attendant pushed the car over and asked with a smile.

Chen Ju was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "I, I don't want to buy it, thank you."

"This is a free gift, won't you take one, sir?" the waiter smiled.

free?Chen Ju hasn't taken the train for a long time, is the boxed lunch on the train free now?

He glanced at the neatly arranged lunch boxes. Every dish was very delicate and delicious, but he didn't have any appetite, so he chose one at random.

The taste of the boxed lunch was also good, but Chen Ju only took a few mouthfuls, then put the boxed lunch on the table, and would eat it later when he was hungry.

Suddenly, a strong man with big bags and small bags sat across from him. The man saw the exquisite boxed lunch on the table, and grinned, "Yo, little brother just ate a few mouthfuls? It's a waste if you don't eat it. Let me help you solve it."!"

As he said that, the man snatched the boxed lunch without waiting for Chen Ju to open his mouth, opened the lid, and ate it with relish. Chen Ju watched the man who was eating open his mouth, but without saying a last word, lowered his eyes, and continued to lean on the chairin a daze.

The man wiped his mouth after eating, threw the finished boxed lunch on the table, and said: "Little brother, I drove all the way just now, and now my legs are soft, please help me throw away the trash, right hereOver there by the sink, there's a big trash can!"

Chen Ju was immersed in her own world, and didn't hear the man's words. The man thought he was deliberately ignoring her, and suddenly patted the table. Chen Ju was startled, raised her head, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her blankly.

"Boy, I'm old enough to be your father, do you understand how to respect the old and love the young? Throw away the lunch box for me, and I still need to put something on the table!" The middle-aged man looked at Chen Ju with a bullying look, half fierce and half threatening.

Sensing the sight from the surroundings, Chen Ju blushed, put the package in her arms on the seat, picked up the plastic lunch box and walked towards the sink.

After Chen Ju left, the middle-aged man shook his legs and looked at Chen Ju's luggage while picking his teeth. Suddenly, his attention was on the small package on the seat.Now, could there be some valuable money in it?

Thinking of this, the man felt itchy in his heart. If it was money or something valuable, then he could make a lot of money. Seeing that boy's soft and weak appearance, he definitely didn't dare to make too much noise.

The man looked around, but no one noticed it, so he pretended to throw his mobile phone on the ground, bent down to pick it up, and then reached out to touch the package on the seat. Just as his hand touched it, he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist.Startled, the man raised his head.

After Chen Ju finished throwing out the garbage, he went to the toilet by the way. In the swaying bathroom, he washed his face with cold water. The man reflected in the mirror looked very strange. It has been a month since his mother passed away.But this month seems to have passed in the blink of an eye, and the memory of standing in the cold wind that night seems to have happened yesterday, but he is finally willing to accept the fact that his mother has left.

His mother told him to live a good life, but all along, his mother was the driving force for him to persevere, and suddenly this motivation disappeared, and he was like a car that lost its brakes, rushing forward without a destination, not knowing where to go, don't know how to stop.

To live well, it took all his strength just to live, how can he do well again?

Chen Ju stayed in the bathroom for a while, until there was an urging knock on the door, he put away his emotions, opened the door, lowered his head, endured the abuse from the people outside, and walked out.

Passing through the noisy and crowded aisle, Chen Ju returned to his seat. The middle-aged man who was sitting opposite was replaced by two young girls at some point, and an unopened copy was placed on his desk.box lunch.

Chen Ju was stunned, what's going on?Just when he was puzzled, the little girl with ponytails said: "The uncle who was sitting here just got off the bus. Before leaving, let us say sorry to you, and the lunch box is an apology."

"Ah, oh, thank you." Chen Ju put away the surprise in his heart, picked up the small package and put it in his arms, sat back in his seat in doubt, looked at the boxed lunch on the table, thought that the uncle could not understand him,It seems that he thinks too badly of people to judge people by their appearance.

This lunch box has a light taste, and it happens to be something that Chen Ju likes to eat. After opening it, it was wiped out in a short while.

After eating, Chen Ju felt sleepy again. He leaned on the back of the chair, half-closed his eyes, and fell into sleep bit by bit. In the hazy sleep, Chen Ju felt that there was someone sitting next to him, and the car seemed not to stop., Could it be that someone without a place came to sit down?But the person next to him felt very familiar to him, as if he was an old friend.

He tried hard to open his eyes and look at the side, but his eyelids were so heavy that he could only see a man in a black coat next to him. He wanted to take a closer look, but his eyes were suddenly covered by something, and his vision fell into darkness, so heTrapped and pulled back into the dream.

It took five hours to arrive at the station. Chen Ju dragged the suitcase out of the train station. It was already dark outside. Many drivers of black cars saw Chen Ju and rushed forward, forming a circle around Chen Ju.

"Do you want to stay, young man? Do you want to take a taxi?"

"If you stay overnight, you won't be charged for the car fare!"

Chen Ju originally wanted to go back to his hometown directly, but his hometown is in a village, and the old house has long been decayed and uninhabitable, and it is still so late.

"How much is it for one night?"

“Forty-one nights, hot water and WiFi~”

Chen Ju got into an aunt's car and went to a nearby hotel.

A few minutes after the car drove, a man came out of the gate, grabbed a driver, and said, "One hundred yuan, follow the car that just left."

"Okay! No problem!" The uncle driver who was caught grinned as if he had picked up money for nothing, and enthusiastically led the man into his car, "Don't worry, I know this area well, that one isLi's daughter-in-law, his hotel is just across from my house!"

The hotel facilities in the small town are average, more like a rented house, with low ceilings, whitewashed walls and concrete floors, and the bed will creak when you sit on it. When the light bulb is turned on, the dim light will fill the whole roomThe photos are more narrow and old.

Chen Ju didn't have any discomfort with this environment, it was much better than the basement he rented before, after paying the money, he dragged his luggage into the room, carefully put the box containing his mother on the table, and Chen Ju was wearyLie on the bed and close your eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, he was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. When he opened his eyes, he heard the shop owner apologizing from the next room.

"Sorry, sorry, the water heater in this room has been broken for a long time, and I forgot to fix it. How about I change it for you?"

Jiang Zhou's upper body was bare, his hair hung down in front of his forehead, his face was gloomy, as ugly as he wanted, just about to get angry, he caught a glimpse of the closed door next to him, paused, and said in a low voice: "No need to change, hereI'll bring a kettle of hot water up."

"Okay! I'll bring you two hot bottles of water right away!" Seeing that Jiang Zhou didn't pursue the matter, the proprietress smiled happily and went downstairs.

Jiang Zhou stood at the door of the dilapidated room. He was tall and his head almost touched the door frame. When he walked to the closed door, his eyes were deep and focused, and he slowly stretched out his hand. Just as his fingertips touched the iron handle, suddenlyHearing the sound coming from inside, Jiang Zhou was startled, and ran back to his room in a hurry, closing the door, very embarrassed.

Chen Ju pushed open the door and looked to the side, strangely, he felt that there was indeed someone standing at the door just now, but no one came out, did he feel wrong?

At this time, the proprietress came up with two hot water bottles. Chen Ju greeted her and said, "Madam proprietress, can you give me a bottle of hot water?"

"Okay, okay, just wait a moment, I'll give these two bottles to the gentleman next to me, and I'll go down and get them~"

"Okay." Chen Ju didn't go in, but looked at the door next to him. It turned out that there was a man living there. Was he standing at his door just now?

"Mr. Song, the water bottle is here, take it~" the proprietress shouted enthusiastically.

There was no movement inside the door for a long time. The proprietress patted the door and continued to shout: "Mr. Song? Are you asleep? You shouldn't be. I was still taking a shower just now, but there was no hot water."

"Just put it at the door." A deep and hoarse man's voice came from the room. Chen Ju felt familiar, but couldn't remember who it looked like for a while.

When the proprietress brought up another bottle of hot water, the men next to her didn't come out to get the two bottles of hot water, so Chen Ju entered the room with her own hot water bottle.

As soon as he closed the door, he heard the door next to him open. The sound insulation here is not good, and the movement of the door next door closing and opening can be heard clearly.

Chen Ju felt strange, but didn't think much about it. He poured himself a cup of hot water and took out a bucket of instant noodles from the suitcase. Although he had eaten in the afternoon, he still felt a little hungry at night.

After making the hot instant noodles, he talked to his mother, as if his mother was sitting opposite and looked at him with a smile.

Only halfway through the meal, there was a loud noise from the next door, followed by the sound of something like a bench hitting the ground, and a low man's voice sounded, which could not be heard clearly, as if he was scolding something, because he was outside.No matter who can help, Chen Ju put down the instant noodles, opened the door, walked to the door next door, and knocked on it.

"Hello, are you in any trouble? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Jiang Zhou stood on the bed, looking at the messy ground with an ugly expression. Just now, when he was standing by the wall, wanting to hear what Chen Ju was doing, he suddenly met a brown cockroach., he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to his scalp, grabbed the stool next to him and smashed it.

Willing to become a stalker for his wife

Hearing Chen Ju's voice from outside, Jiang Zhou's face changed slightly, he looked down at the messy floor, resisted the discomfort in his heart, got out of bed, put on his slippers and walked towards the door.

Unable to hear the response from inside, Chen Ju became worried, knocked on the door again, and said, "Are you okay? Do you need me to call someone over?"

There was still no sound inside, Chen Ju was about to go downstairs to call the proprietress to come and open the door, but just as he turned around, he heard a man's hoarse voice from inside.

"I'm fine, it's just that something fell on the ground, don't worry." Jiang Zhou spoke in a rough voice, trying to make his voice sound different from usual.

Hearing the response, Chen Ju breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good, if you need help, you can call me, I'm right next door."

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Zhou stood behind the door, staring at the door deeply, as if his eyes were about to burn a hole in the door. He imagined Chen Ju's expression at this time, and put his finger on the doorknob until he heard the door next door.He didn't turn the doorknob when the door slammed.

The bed in the hotel was narrow and small. Jiang Zhou had to bend his long legs, otherwise the quilt would not be fully covered. He lay on the bed, turned sideways, and stared at the wall all night.meaning.

At eleven o'clock, Chen Ju left the room and dragged his suitcase to the station. At noon, the sun hung warmly in the air, and the golden beams shone on the people. The smoke from the breakfast stall was lingering in it, as ifIt is a scene that only appears in dreams.

"Excuse me, how much is it to go to Zhuma Village?" Chen Ju walked up to a simple Mazda and asked the price.

The uncle smiled and said: "5 yuan, do you want to sit or not? You can leave immediately!"

"Okay." After Chen Ju finished speaking, he carried the box into the rear shed of the Mazda. Before getting into the car, he glanced back. There was only a busy crowd behind him. It was strange, why did he feel that someone was staring at him?

The Mazda started, made a loud noise, bumped and drove up the potholed path, Chen Ju was sitting on a narrow wooden bench with a small package in his arms, and the curtains transformed from bed sheets were easily blown away by the wind, revealing a big gapOne day, the biting cold wind scrambled in. Chen Ju held the small package in her arms, shrank her neck from the cold, and looked outside.

The fields on both sides of the road were covered with a layer of snow, mottled white like candy on a snow cake, and the weeds were also shriveled and curled up like a bird's nest.

Chen Ju looked at those barren lands, and his thoughts drifted to far, far away places. He probably couldn't live in his hometown. He originally planned to bring his mother back and settle down before going back, but what can he do after he goes back?I don’t need so much money anymore, and if I’m looking for a job, I’ll just live a boring life like going to get off work and sleeping after work.

Can he really hold on?

"Handsome guy, are you okay? If you want to vomit, I have a plastic bag on my car, you open it, don't drop it on my car, it's very troublesome to wash it once!" The uncle in a leather jacket and padded jacket drove a Mazda towardslook behind.

Jiang Zhou propped his forehead with a blue face, and said displeasedly: "No need, drive faster and keep up with the car in front."

"That won't work. If you drive fast, you will be discovered? The handsome guy sees that you have never done this kind of thing a few times. Don't worry, I am very familiar with this matter. I guarantee that I will not be lost, and I will not be caught.People found out~" The uncle had an expression of deep merit and fame.

Jiang Zhou was so disturbed by the noise of the car that he didn't want to talk, and he didn't have the energy to say another word.

Soon the car arrived at the entrance of the village, and Jiang Zhou got out of the narrow car bent over. His steps were weak, and he rushed to the side of the road in embarrassment. He vomited for a few minutes before he recovered.

The uncle kindly handed over a bottle of mineral water and said, "Wash your mouth."

"Thank you." Jiang Zhou took the mineral water bottle.

"Handsome guy, just pay the money, the water plus the fare is ten yuan." The uncle said with a smile.

Jiang Zhou paused for a moment. At that moment, he clearly heard that the car on Chen Ju said it was five yuan, but he didn't say much. After searching in his wallet for a while, he took out a piece of fifty yuan with the smallest denomination and handed it over..

"You don't need to look for it." After finishing speaking, Jiang Zhou turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village, leaving the uncle with the money in his hand, with a surprised expression on his face.

The second grandpa recognized Chen Ju at a glance, and quickly invited him to sit at home and drink some hot tea. During the tea time, Chen Ju and the second grandpa talked about the past few years in a nutshell, ignoring many things.

"Hey, poor child." The second grandfather's kind eyes were full of tears, and he reached out to rub Chen Ju's hair, "Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Ju's eyes turned red all of a sudden. It was a month ago since the last time he cried. During this time, he didn't feel any sadness. It seemed that sadness had become the normal state of life. It was the same when he opened and closed his eyes.The tears flowed down that night, but when the second grandpa reached out to touch his hair, he was enveloped in a warm feeling as familiar as his mother.

Like an ice cube touching a flame, after melting a corner, it can no longer maintain its original cold and hard state. Chen Ju closed her eyes, lowered her head, and whimpered, tears rolling down one after another, hitting the concrete floorOn, darken the color.

The uncles, aunts and cousins of the second grandfather's family came back from the market the next night, saw Chen Ju, and enthusiastically arranged for them, and immediately packed up a room for Chen Ju to live in.

"You don't have to worry, you can stay as long as you want!" the aunt said with a smile.

Looking at the enthusiastic family, Chen Ju lowered his head in embarrassment, his eyes began to heat up again, he lowered his head, and said again the thank you that he said countless times tonight.

After dinner, Chen Ju took back the door key of the old house from the second grandfather, and went to the next door to open the wooden door that had been closed for a long time. As the wooden door opened, the decaying atmosphere of the old house rushed over, and Chen Ju was stunned.Looking at everything in front of me, the happy memories of being here once emerged in front of my eyes, intertwined with reality, which seemed so cruel.

Chen Ju put the box containing her mother on the steps of the yard, sat by herself, and said to herself: "Mom, there is no change from when we left here. Have you seen grandpa and grandma now? Help meAsk them how the past few years have been."

"Mom, it's so cold here, and I really want to be with you." Chen Ju bent down and buried her head in her knees.

At the door of the old house, Jiang Zhou stood quietly by the wall, looking at Chen Ju sitting in the yard through the rotten wooden door frame, his eyes filled with distress.

If he could have found the woman earlier that night and grabbed that hand earlier, Chen Ju would not be in such pain as now.

The familiar pain surged into his chest again, as if thousands of needles were piercing in at the same time. Jiang Zhou clenched his fists, turned around, and walked out of the old house. If he took another look, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but rush forward., holding the man in his arms.

Chen Ju lived here for four days. On the fifth day, the elders in the village discussed helping her mother with the funeral and picked a good day.

There are many old people sitting in the big house of the village chief. They are as dry and warm as the wood here, but exuding a rotten atmosphere. Life and death are as casual as talking about the weather in their mouths, without any taboo.

It was finally determined that the funeral will be held in two days, and everything will be kept simple, and the mother's grave will be placed next to the grandparents.

Walking out of the house, it was getting late, and the three little furry children were standing under a tree, secretly planning something, Chen Ju didn't want to hear it at first, but when passing by, those whispers were too loud, directly into his earsdrill.

"Have you heard? Old lady Yan's old house is haunted! People in the village have seen it several times!"

"You're lying, I sneaked into every house in the summer, didn't I see any ghosts?"

"That's because it's too hot in summer. My father came back from get off work in the county last night and passed by Mrs. Yan's house on a bicycle. He saw a light inside!"

What the little boy said frightened the other two children, their necks tightened and their eyes widened.

Chen Ju couldn't stand listening, walked over, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could my house be haunted?"

The three children were so frightened by Chen Ju's sudden utterance that they huddled together and screamed.

"If I find out that you talk nonsense again, be careful and I'll tell your parents!" Chen Ju pretended to threaten, then turned and left the yard, and when he heard a child crying inside, he couldn't help smiling.

When passing by the old house, Chen Ju stopped involuntarily, and looked at the closed door for a while, the group of children spoke decently, is it really... probably impossible, he will come in these few daysLook, if there was one, he would have met it long ago.

Chen Ju left the door and went to the second grandpa's house. At night, Chen Ju suddenly woke up and went to the yard to go to the toilet. When he came back, he suddenly heard a sound from the fence. He was startled and his skin got goose bumpsall over.

"Who?" Chen Ju walked to the wall and asked over there with a low voice. After a few seconds, a rough meow sounded. It turned out to be a wild cat. Chen Ju relaxed, feeling inexplicably funny.How could he really believe the words of a few children.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Jiang Zhou let go of his hand and coughed lowly. In order not to be discovered by Chen Ju, he has been living in this old house for the past few days. The house has not been lived in for a long time, and there is dust everywhere.The long benches are lined up together, and sleep on them at night.

He went to the market two days ago, bought a blanket, something to wash, and instant food that is convenient to eat. When he was not the young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhou had suffered a lot with his mother.It's nothing, as long as he can stay by Chen Ju's side and see that everything is fine with him, that's enough.

Jiang Zhou rubbed his hot forehead. It seemed that he was going to buy some cold medicine tomorrow. He glanced at the flickering phone screen and saw another call. He hung up without hesitation, and then turned off the phone, Carried the well water that had just been pumped into the house.

ignore

After Chen Ju got up in the morning, he was still not at ease, so he went to the old house again. There was no one in the house, but he found traces that someone had been there.

There were several smoked cigarette butts in the corner. It looked like they were smoked in the past two days at most. Chen Ju stared at those cigarette butts for a few seconds, then turned and went into the back room. Under the table, he found a candle burning.The traces, the doubts in my heart deepened.

It seems that what those children said is true, but it is not a haunted place, but someone lives here. Could it be a homeless man from other places?

The old house has been unoccupied for a long time, so putting it here is also a good thing if it can help others, but this person smokes and lights candles, a lot of wood in the house has decayed, what if it burns?

No, he had to meet this person and talk to him face to face.

So Chen Ju locked the gate, moved a bench to step on, and climbed over the wall at the second grandfather's side. While climbing, the second grandfather came back from playing mahjong. Seeing Chen Ju's posture, he was startled, and hurried forward to pullhold him.

"Little Orange, what are you doing? It's so high, what if it falls down?"

"Second Grandpa, I want to climb up to my house to do some errands, so don't tell others, and don't call me at dinner." Chen Ju climbed up with a wheeze, straddled his legs on the fence, wiped his sweat,look down.

The second grandfather was leaning on crutches, looking at him worriedly and anxiously from below. From this angle, one can see the row of connected eaves, the blue bricks and tiles covered with unmelted snow, and the old trees in front of the house.Pulling dry branches, pointing straight at the gray sky.

He hasn't seen such a scene for a long time. The last time he was in the freshman year of high school, he was like this, naughty and mischievous, he climbed onto the fence, walked from the eaves of his grandmother's house to Uncle Wang's house, and was finally found, and he was taken down and tortured.I got a beating.

"Oh, don't fall, little orange!" Second Grandpa said anxiously.

Chen Ju grinned with a relaxed smile and said, "Second Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine! You don't have to wait for me to eat tonight!"

After speaking, he supported the fence, climbed to the persimmon tree in the opposite yard, grabbed the branches, and slid down the thick branches.

Chen Ju went into the cooking place in the front room, hid behind a pile of damp and blackened firewood, and waited for that person to arrive. She didn't worry about it at first, but now during the waiting time, Chen Ju felt nervous.

If this person is not an ordinary tramp, like the TV show said, he is a fugitive who escaped from somewhere, and he hides here and dare not see anyone. What if he bumps into him, becomes angry and kills him?

Thinking of this, Chen Ju felt regretful for acting alone. He was too reckless. At the very least, he wanted to call his cousin together. The cousin is strong and strong, so there must be no problem. If that person was alarmed, he would run to the next door again.Well, the second grandfather is alone at home, so it should be dangerous.

Thinking of this, Chen Ju came out of the firewood pile and was about to climb the fence back again. Just as he climbed out, he suddenly heard a sound from the yard outside, the sound of a box falling on the ground, and then the footsteps of a person.

Chen Ju's heart tightened, he looked around, and finally hid back. Hearing the movement outside, his heart started beating wildly. The sound seemed to be piercing his eardrums. He grabbed a thicker firewood in a panic, and looked away.He stared in the direction of the door divertedly.

The winter night came very early, the lights in the old house were not turned on, and everything was shrouded in a hazy black mist, which was vague and unreal.

The man went to the back room, but he didn't come out after waiting for a long time. Chen Ju squatted with his legs sore while clutching the wooden stick, and decided not to wait, but to make a move first, so as not to be too passive.

So, holding the wooden stick in both hands, Chen Ju came out of the pile of firewood and walked towards the yard step by step. Looking through the yard, she saw a faint candlelight lit up in the living room in the back room.The lighting here is a bit scary, a bit like a scene from a horror movie.

Chen Ju panicked, took a deep breath, quickened her pace and ran to squat under the persimmon tree, then glanced around, and rushed behind the pillar again.

At this time, it was only a few steps away from the door of the back room. From this angle, he could see the scene in the room. He saw a tall man standing there with his back to him. He seemed to be a head taller than himself, and his body shape was also the same.He was twice as big as himself, and he didn't look like a slovenly homeless man. Could it be that he really committed a crime and came here to escape?

Thinking of this, Chen Ju couldn't help feeling horrified, thinking about it, let's go back first, and find a few young men from the village to come over tomorrow.

Just about to turn around and leave, suddenly, the second grandfather's voice came from the other side of the wall: "Little Orange, it's time for dinner!"

Chen Ju shook his body, and saw the man turn around in his sight, he hurriedly hid behind the pillar, and gripped the wooden stick tightly.

He told the second grandfather not to eat, why did the second grandfather still yell?If this is discovered, something will happen to him and Second Grandpa, no, he will swear to protect Second Grandpa to the death!

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Chen Ju held her breath, clenched the wooden stick in her hand, and her body trembled from fear.

"Little Orange? Are you still there?" Second Grandpa's voice came again, and Chen Ju felt the man's footsteps change direction, walking towards this side.

Chen Ju felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat. The man was getting closer and closer, until she was next to him, so close that she could even hear the man's breathing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry—" Chen Ju clenched the stick tightly, closed her eyes, and smashed the stick on the man's head recklessly, bang bang bang, one after another, because she was too scared, Chen Ju closed her eyes and hit the man indiscriminately, I don't know where it hit, I just know that every time I hit it, it makes a dull sound.

Finally the fear passed, and Chen Ju realized that this man was obviously much taller than him, so why didn't he fight back, as if he was standing there specially to hit him.

Chen Ju stopped what he was doing, opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him. Seeing that the stick stopped, the man also put down his arm covering his face.

Their eyes met, and when they saw that familiar face, Chen Ju seemed to have been slapped by someone, and was stunned. With a bang, the wooden stick fell to the ground.

Under the cover of night, Jiang Zhou was wearing an old-fashioned black cotton jacket, his handsome face was much thinner, and he stared at Chen Ju deeply. With just one glance, he couldn't move away anymore, and couldn't control the surging thoughts in his heart., reaching out to hold the man in his arms.

"Don't touch me!" Chen Ju made a hoarse voice from his dry throat. He looked at Jiang Zhou with resistance in his eyes, and took a step back.

Jiang Zhou froze, keeping his hands in mid-air, and a trace of pain flashed in his dark eyes.

At this time, the door of the old house opened, and the second grandfather rushed in staggeringly, leaning on a cane and holding a sickle in one hand.

"Let go, let go of our little orange!" The second grandfather held up the sickle tremblingly, and when he saw Jiang Zhou, he yelled angrily.

Chen Ju was awakened by the sound, and hurried to Jiang Zhou, saying, "Second Grandpa misunderstood, he is a friend of mine!"

In the front room of the second grandfather's house, the room was brightly illuminated by fluorescent lamps. Jiang Zhou's tall figure standing in the middle of the room felt very oppressive. The second aunt cheerfully handed a bench to Jiang Zhou and said, "Come on,Sit down, handsome boy, and talk."

Jiang Zhou didn't go to pick it up immediately, but looked at Chen Ju, waiting for his answer, as if he said he could sit down, Chen Ju didn't want to talk to Jiang Zhou, but everyone's eyes looked over, which made him feelVery sorry.

"Sit down." Chen Ju turned her head away after speaking.

"Thank you, auntie." Jiang Zhou took the bench, pulled up the corners of his mouth and showed a warm smile, and the second aunt was immediately fascinated, her eyes sparkled, and her smile deepened.

"It's okay, when did our little orange make such a handsome friend and didn't tell us?" The second aunt patted Chen Ju's shoulder and joked cheerfully.

Chen Ju sneaked a glance at Jiang Zhou. haven't seen him for more than a month. The man is indeed more handsome. Even though he is wearing old-fashioned clothes and looking bleak and embarrassed, he still can't hide his temperament, like a nobleman who has fallen into the mortal world by mistake.prince.

"Why does the young man live next door? If you have any difficulties, tell us, have you had dinner yet?" Second Grandpa asked.

Just as Jiang Zhou was about to speak, Chen Ju said, "He just came here for a while and left right away."

"Really? It's so late, and there is no car, let's rest for the night." The second uncle came in from the yard, heard what Chen Ju said, and hurriedly said.

Jiang Zhou raised his eyes, met Chen Ju's eyes, paused for a few seconds, and said, "No, I have something else to do, so I'll go first, thank you."

As he said that, he stood up, his tall figure made the room smaller, his waist bent slightly, and he coughed twice.

"What's the rush? You don't have a car so late, so you'll stay here and share a room with Chen Ju at night! Auntie has just agreed, if you leave again, you won't give face!" The second aunt said, holding Chen JuTalking about it, he said, "Hurry up, little orange, please persuade your friend, how dangerous it is to go out so late!"

The second aunt was busy working in the farmland every day, and her strength was stronger than that of a man. She picked Chen Ju up from the bench and pushed him in front of Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Zhou was afraid that Chen Ju would not be able to stand still, so he subconsciously reached out and grabbed his arm. He felt the warmth in his palm and the long-lost restlessness in his chest, so he couldn't help tightening his palm.

Seeing Chen Ju's slightly changed face, Jiang Zhou's eyes darkened, and he hurriedly let go of his hand.

"It's okay, I won't bother you anymore." Jiang Zhou smiled, turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, Chen Ju's weak voice came from behind: "You can rest for one night before leaving."

Hearing these words, Jiang Zhou's heart beat faster, and he turned around in surprise. Seeing the indifferent expression on Chen Ju's face, the smile on his face froze, and gradually retracted.

please

Jiang Zhou hadn't looked at Chen Ju so closely for a long, long time. He tried his best to restrain himself, but he still couldn't help staring at the man. Just looking at that thoughtful face, his chest felt fine and dense pain.He couldn't help but want to hold the man in his arms.

Chen Ju purposely found a corner to sit and helped the second aunt choose vegetables, and only a few were selected. He felt the scorching gaze again, raised his head, and met those dark eyes. After looking at each other for a few seconds,Jiang Zhou moved away first, as if he just looked over by accident.

If it was just one time, Chen Ju would think that he was thinking too much, but from choosing vegetables, lighting the fire, to starting to cook, as long as he turned around or raised his head, he would definitely look at Jiang Zhou.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Chen Ju's expression was not very good, my cousin came over, "Are you uncomfortable? Let me light the fire, you go out and have a rest."

"Okay, thank you cousin." Chen Ju didn't refuse, he didn't want to stay in the same place with Jiang Zhou anymore.

Fleeing from the front room to the yard, Chen Ju felt better after breathing in the fresh, dry and cold air. The suffocation in his chest was reduced a bit. He raised his head and looked at the cold gray sky, and his consciousness was drawn back to the coldAt night, he stood among the crowd, raised his head, and looked at Jiang Zhou who was standing on the rooftop through the cold air.

That glance was deeply engraved in Chen Ju's heart, making him unable to forget it. Even if he didn't deliberately recall it, it would appear to haunt him when he dreamed back at midnight.

What happened between her and Jiang Zhou that night before her mother jumped down?He didn't want to think too much, didn't dare to think deeply, so he chose to leave.

But Jiang Zhou followed. Seeing the man's face, Chen Ju wondered uncontrollably, whether Jiang Zhou hadn't left at all this month, just like before, with bodyguards placed beside him and surveillance cameras placed through the eyes of a needle, looked at him as if guarding a prisoner.

Why should he guard himself like this?Why did it appear at the scene where the mother jumped off the building again?Why did mother jump down again?All kinds of doubts popped up in his head repeatedly, and were pressed back again. All the questions pointed to an answer, and no matter how hard Chen Ju tried to escape, he couldn't escape.

Footsteps sounded behind him, interrupting Chen Ju's thoughts. He trembled, lowered his head, looked away, and stared at the concrete floor under his feet. The man stopped a few steps behind him and did not take a step forward., also did not speak.

Even if he didn't look back, Chen Ju knew who that person was. When the name came to his mind, he clenched his fists tightly, and the emotions he had suppressed for a long time surged up, as if he wanted to break the ribs in his chest and rush out.

"Chen Ju," Jiang Zhou said, his voice low and hoarse, "Are you all right? Did you catch a cold?"

Hearing the conversation between his cousin and Chen Ju just now, he felt very worried, restrained himself for a few minutes, and finally chose to look for Chen Ju in the yard.

Chen Ju didn't answer, nor did he turn around. Jiang Zhou paused, and continued: "I went to the county town today to buy some cold medicine, and I'll go back and get some later. Take it after you eat."

After Jiang Zhou said a long list of words, he inhaled the cold wind, coughed twice in a low voice, and suppressed the cough again.

"No need." Chen Ju resisted the turbulent emotions, clenched his fists, turned around, looked at Jiang Zhou calmly and indifferently, "Don't follow me anymore, I don't like being watched all the time."

Jiang Zhou was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Chen Ju, a lot of emotions flashed in his eyes, and finally turned into nothingness. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

"Don't say I'm sorry!" Chen Ju became emotional for a moment, and when he saw the second grandfather coming out of the front room, he immediately restrained his emotions, turned around, and strode towards the toilet.

Looking at the back of Chen Ju leaving, Jiang Zhou's eyes flashed with pain. Of course he knew that it was useless to say sorry, but apart from sorry, he didn't know what to say or what to do.

"Xiaojiang, how long have you known Xiaojuzi? Why haven't you heard him mention you?" The second grandpa smiled and came over to talk.

Jiang Zhou suppressed the emotions on his face, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "We were classmates in high school, and we have known each other for many years."

"We've known each other for so long. It seems that you have a good relationship. How is our little orange working outside these few years?" Second Grandpa asked, "He hasn't been back for several years.How are you doing?"

There was a flash of pity in Jiang Zhou's eyes, he paused for a few seconds, and said in a low voice, "It's pretty good."

"Hey, I know you young people are afraid that I will be worried when I get old, but I, an old man, can still tell whether life is good or not." The second grandpa sighed, "Little Orange used to be so naughty as a child,It’s going to the vegetable field to steal other people’s vegetables, and it’s chasing other people’s chickens, and Lao Yan and I are going to clean up the stall.”

"But these few days, Little Orange is either staying at home or sitting in Lao Yan's house. When there is no one around, I see him in a daze. Hey, I know the blow that his mother's incident has brought to himHe is very big, but such a flamboyant personality has been worn down to such a degree, you say he has lived a good life these past few years, would I believe it?" The second grandfather sighed again after finishing speaking, his kind cheeks were full of tears.feeling of worry.

Jiang Zhou was silent for a while, and then said, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will take good care of Little Orange so that he won't suffer any more."

The second grandfather turned his head and met Jiang Zhou's serious and firm eyes. He paused, and after a few seconds, he patted Jiang Zhou's arm and said, "Good boy."

When Chen Ju came back, he had already started eating, and he was waiting for him alone. Everyone sat in a circle in front of the big table, and there was only one seat next to Jiang Zhou.He was also sitting next to Jiang Zhou, but he was excited and nervous at the time, but now he has nothing.

"Hurry up, little orange! Where did you go? It's so late!" Cousin smiled and called Chen Ju over.

On the other side of the seat was my cousin. Everyone was seated, and Chen Ju was too embarrassed to talk about changing seats, so he could only bite the bullet and sit in the seat.

As soon as he sat down, Jiang Zhou put the bowl of hot soup in front of Chen Ju and said, "Drink some, it's good for your stomach."

Chen Ju paused, took the soup bowl, and whispered, "Thank you."

In the following time, everyone was chatting and laughing. Chen Ju had never found that Jiang Zhou was so talkative. The smile on his face seemed to be described, which was far from the cold and indifferent man he used to be.

Chen Ju just turned his head and said a few words to his cousin. When he lowered his head, he found that there were a lot of dishes in his bowl, and they were all his favorites. He knew who put them in without thinking.

Until the end, Chen Ju didn't touch Jiang Zhou's food.

After the meal, Jiang Zhou helped clean up the dishes. When he saw the dishes piled up on the bottom of the man's bowl, he paused, his eyes dimmed. He pretended not to care, and after helping to clean up the table, he came out of the room and went toI went under a tree in front of the old house, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.

After smoking a cigarette, he turned on his phone, edited a text message and sent it.

"The house is not big, so you and Chen Ju can squeeze together for one night, and I'll give you an extra quilt." The second aunt carried a quilt and walked into the house. There was only a bed and a wardrobe in the small room, and Chen Ju's luggageThe box is placed in the corner.

Jiang Zhou took the quilt and said, "Okay, thank you Auntie."

"Hey, you don't have to be so polite! Little Orange's friend is our friend~" The second aunt said with a smile, looking at Jiang Zhou with fond eyes, "Young man, you are so handsome, do you have a girlfriend?"

Jiang Zhou paused, and subconsciously looked in Chen Ju's direction. The man was bending over to make the bed, his side face was calm and indifferent, as if he didn't hear their conversation.

"Not yet." Jiang Zhou replied.

"That's good! You guys go to bed early, I'll go first~" The second aunt smiled happily and left happily.

As the door closed, only Chen Ju and Jiang Zhou were left in the narrow room. Jiang Zhou stood there holding the quilt for a while before walking over and putting the quilt on the bed. Just as he was about to speak, Chen JuHe lowered his head and walked past him, opened the door and went out.

The unspoken words stuck in his throat and turned into a sigh. Jiang Zhou looked at the open door, and his chest seemed to have a big empty hole.Sit down on the edge of the bed.

It took half an hour before Chen Ju came back. Seeing Chen Ju walk in, Jiang Zhou froze for a moment, raised his head, and looked over.

Chen Ju put a pot of hot water on the table, without looking at Jiang Zhou, and said, "Second Aunt asked me to bring it over, wash your face."

There was a hint of surprise in Jiang Zhou's eyes, he stood up quickly, walked over, stood beside Chen Ju, and said in a low voice, "Okay."

The two stood very close, Jiang Zhou lowered his head, and the warm breath sprayed into Chen Ju's ears as he spoke, as if on purpose.

Chen Ju took a step back, turned around and walked towards the door without looking at Jiang Zhou.

Seeing that Chen Ju was about to go out again, Jiang Zhou subconsciously reached out and grabbed Chen Ju's wrist, and said, "Where are you going? It's cold outside, you'll catch a cold."

"Hiss..." Chen Ju frowned.

Jiang Zhou lowered his head, and what he caught was Chen Ju's injured wrist. Although the terrible scar had healed, it was still pink and tender. He let go of his hand in a hurry, his face became flustered and nervous.

"I'm sorry, it hurts. Do you want to apply some medicine? I just bought some today." Jiang Zhou said anxiously.

"No need," Chen Ju withdrew her wrist, covered the horrible scar with one hand, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "It's healed."

The scar was like a slender stick, which lifted the gauze that covered the memories of that night, exposing those painful and cruel memories unreservedly between the two of them.

Jiang Zhou saw Chen Ju in the bathroom with his eyes closed again. The scar on his wrist was as deep as the bone, and the blood in the bathtub was dyed bright red, dazzling red, like a blooming flower from the other side.

crying for wife

There was a burst of heat in his eyes, Jiang Zhou lowered his head, his tall body was slightly bent, like a big dog that made a mistake.

"Little Orange, I'm sorry," Jiang Zhou said hoarsely, "I'm sorry..."

Chen Ju turned her head away, did not look at Jiang Zhou, and said softly, "You don't need to say sorry."

Jiang Zhou raised his head, tears rolled from the corners of his eyes, he reached out and grabbed Chen Ju's sleeve, his voice trembling: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, it's all because of my aunt..."

"That's enough." Speaking of her mother, Chen Ju couldn't control her suppressed emotions any longer, and reached out to pull on her sleeve, "Stop talking, I don't want to hear, let go!"

"I know it's useless to say more...but I..." Jiang Zhou grabbed Chen Ju's sleeve tightly and refused to let go.

"Then don't talk about it," Chen Ju interrupted Jiang Zhou, his eyes were red, and he pulled back his sleeves decisively, "Go to sleep, you will leave tomorrow morning, don't stay here, I don't want to seeyou."

After Chen Ju finished speaking, she walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, and lay on the other side, leaving a large space for Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Zhou stood where he was, and Chen Ju only left his back for him. His heart felt as if he had been hit hard by an awl. The pain was severe, and the familiar pain spread to his whole body. He thought that he was about to lose Chen Ju.Covering his heart, he was like that night when his lacrimal glands were broken, and tears gathered and flowed down the corners of his eyes.

"I'm sorry, little orange, I'm sorry..." Jiang Zhou lowered his head and murmured softly, as if this could alleviate his sin.

But from the beginning to the end, Chen Ju kept his back to him and didn't turn around.

Chen Ju closed his eyes, listening to the sound of apology coming from behind, his palms clenched the quilt tightly, his chest was throbbing with pain, as if being stabbed by tens of thousands of sharp needles, more than once, he wanted to lift the quilt,Ask Jiang Zhou what are you sorry for?Why do you want to say sorry to me?Isn't this what you've always wanted?But in the end he didn't say anything, closed his eyes until he heard the sound of water washing his face, waited for a few minutes, Jiang Zhou went out, the lights were turned off, and the room was completely dark.

Chen Ju opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the window. The glass window was covered with a layer of mist, and he couldn't see the outside scenery, only a piece of gray blue, and Jiang Zhou's crying face appeared in front of his eyes.Chen Ju's heart clenched, the memory engraved in his body made him dodge like an escape, and he didn't look over there anymore.

Jiang Zhou is too good at disguising. In the past, in order to gain his trust, he would risk his life as a bet. To him, tears may be just a very common thing, and he is familiar with it as a prop for deception.

I don't know how long it took, until Chen Ju felt sleepy, closed his eyes, and fell asleep. In a haze, Chen Ju felt that the bed behind him sank, and then, a cold breath mixed with a little tobacco drifted overWith a sharp nose, he wanted to open his eyes, but the eyelids pressed heavily on them, making it difficult to open them.

Jiang Zhou took off his coat and put another quilt on it. Although it was only a small bed, he wanted to use two quilts with the man. Apart from the two layers of quilts, there were more things separating them.Something, restraining Jiang Zhou, so that he could no longer reach out to the thin figure and hold him in his arms.

I'm sorry for this sentence, saying it is more like avoiding responsibility, saying it lightly, and then letting the hurt person forgive.

However, facing such a Chen Ju, he had no idea what to do. No one had ever taught him such a thing.

"Little Orange, are you asleep?" Jiang Zhou asked in a low voice.

In the empty room, there was no response. Looking at the thin back of the man, Jiang Zhou stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Chen Ju in his arms, but just halfway through the stretch, he stopped again and maintained this movement for a few seconds.Finally, he put down his hand and gently covered Chen Ju's waist.

The palm of his hand was separated by a thick layer of quilt, and he could feel the warmth and softness of the man's body. Just such a touch made Jiang Zhou feel his heart restless in his chest. He resisted the turbulent emotions and moved towards Chen Ju.It was a little tighter, almost against his back.

"Little Orange, I know I was wrong, how can you forgive me?" Jiang Zhou closed his eyes, his breath was filled with the breath of Chen Juzi's hair, and his voice was as soft as a sigh, barely audible.

The only answer to him was deathly silence, which made Jiang Zhou feel palpitations. Chen Ju was clearly in front of him, but it seemed that he was so far away.

"I'm sorry, I love you..." Jiang Zhou said in a hoarse voice, his voice was like a cluster of flames that were about to burn out, the flames just came out and then weakened until they went out, leaving only the imprint of the flames on the retina.

The next morning, Chen Ju woke up at dawn. From the moment he got up to the time he took a shower, Jiang Zhou followed behind him, keeping a seemingly invisible distance from him.

"There's no hot water, cousin." Just as Chen Ju finished speaking, he was about to take the thermos bottle to fill a bottle in front of him. Jiang Zhou bent down and took the thermos bottle first.

"You wait, I'll pour it." After finishing speaking, before Chen Ju could speak, Jiang Zhou went to the front room with a thermos. A few minutes later, he came back with a thermos and poured hot water into the washbasin in front of Chen Ju.He tried the water temperature with his hand again.

"It's just right, you can wash it." Jiang Zhou said.

Chen Ju pursed her lips, stared at the basin of steaming face washing water, finally said nothing, lowered her head and began to wash her face. After washing her face, Jiang Zhou who was standing next to her immediately handed over a dry towel and said, "Use this to wipe your face..”

This time, Chen Ju didn't pick it up. He picked up the basin and walked past Jiang Zhou, and went to the front room, leaving Jiang Zhou standing alone with his back lonely.

After breakfast, my cousin said: "I happen to be going to work in the county, let me take you for a ride."

Jiang Zhou looked at Chen Ju, and before he could speak, Chen Ju immediately said, "You said you were leaving."

The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. The cousin on the side hurriedly smoothed things over and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, little orange? I am a guest, and I can stay as long as I want. It happens that I have to do something for my aunt tomorrow. Let your friendStay one more day."

"My mother doesn't need him here!" Chen Ju stood up suddenly, his emotions became agitated, he clenched his fists, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his eyes were flushed.

The room was quiet for a while, my cousin had a surprised and puzzled expression on his face, he didn't know what to say, at this moment Jiang Zhou stood up with a faint smile on his face, and said, "Thank you, cousin, I'd better go back first, There is a lot of work in the company that has not been done, and we need to go back quickly."

Chen Ju knew that he was too emotional because he didn't want his cousins to know about those things. He took a few deep breaths to suppress the turbulent emotions. His chest seemed to be blocked by a red-hot iron block, which was painful and stuffy.Only deep breathing can relieve some.

"I remember something else, let's go out for a while." After speaking, Chen Ju hurriedly left the front room.

Seeing the back of Chen Ju leaving, Jiang Zhou lowered his eyes, his crow-black thick eyelashes covered the unresolved sadness in his eyes, his cousin saw Jiang Zhou's expression, and probably guessed that there was some misunderstanding between the two of them, Comfortingly said: "It's okay, Xiaojuzi has been like this since he was a child. Whenever something goes wrong, he will throw it out regardless, and he will lose his anger after a while."

"Well," Jiang Zhou reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Thank you, cousin."

"Then you want to go to the county with me now? I ride a motorcycle fast." My cousin asked.

Jiang Zhou was silent for a few seconds, clenched and loosened his palms, and finally whispered: "I won't go, I want to stay another day."

"That's good!" My cousin smiled, and reached out to pat Jiang Zhou's shoulder, "Don't worry, Little Tangerine is very easy to coax, he just eats soft and not hard, just a little more coaxing, ah."

After finishing speaking, my cousin put on his helmet, gloves and car keys and went out of the house. After a minute or so, the roar of a motorcycle sounded outside, farther and farther away until it disappeared.

Jiang Zhou stood there for a while. He knew that he was shameless and didn't respect Chen Ju's ideas enough, but he couldn't leave Chen Ju here and go back alone.

When he thought of Chen Ju crying secretly in a place where he could not see, his heart would throb and he couldn't bear it for a moment.

"Oh, that's great! I heard the sound of a motorcycle just now, and I was worried that you were leaving!" Auntie walked in from the door, warmly grabbed Jiang Zhou's arm, and said, "Come on, Xiao Jiang, I'll take you to meet him."personal!"

"Okay." Jiang Zhou didn't think too much for a while, and followed his second aunt to the front of the village. When he saw a group of middle-aged and elderly people sitting at the door of a large shed, and a little girl in a milky white coat standing restrainedly, his heart rose.With a hint of bad premonition, sure enough, the aunt greeted the group of people.

"Come on, I just said that Xiao Jiang is handsome, Xiao Yun, come and have a look, we two get to know each other~" the aunt greeted with a smile.

The girl named Xiaoyun looked up, and the moment she saw Jiang Zhou, her face flushed immediately, and there was a flash of surprise in her eyes. This is the most handsome and best-looking man she has ever seen in real life, as if from a movie pictorialIt's like a big star who came out of the movie.

Jiang Zhou paused for a moment, his eyes darkened a bit, he glanced at the people present, and at the end, he raised the corners of his mouth to show a polite smile, nodded, and said, "Hi, I'm Chen Ju's good friend.I came back with him specially this time."

"You are Xiao Chen's friend! No wonder, no wonder, I said that we have never seen such a handsome child before!" An old woman said with a smile.

Jiang Zhou smiled and said, "Chen Ju is also very cute."

"That's right, Xiao Chen's child is also white and clean, and he looks much better than when he was a child. Xiao Yun, would you like to take a look too? Xiao Chen, you fought with him when you were young, haha." The old womanAfter speaking, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was very active.

The girl named Xiaoyun blushed again, lowered her head shyly, and whispered, "Then, should we call Chen Ju, and let's go to the county together?"

Hearing these words, Jiang Zhou's face immediately turned cold.

Little orange, don't date her, please

"Okay, very good. Little Orange is bored at home every day during this time. I'm worried that he's going to be bored. It's just that you young people are going out for a stroll!" The second aunt immediately agreed, leaving no room for Jiang Zhou to refuse.

So Jiang Zhou was forced to take his second uncle's tricycle with Chen Ju and Xiaoyun's girl to the county seat.

Although he really wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Chen Ju, he didn't want to use this form. Jiang Zhou didn't like anyone approaching Chen Ju, regardless of gender.

Xiaoyun is a girl, so she can't be allowed to blow the cold wind outside, and Jiang Zhou is reluctant to part with Chen Ju, even though he is very reluctant in his heart that Chen Ju and Xiaoyun are in the same room, but there is nothing he can do.

The tricycle is electric, without any skills. Jiang Zhou has been to the town two or three times in the past few days, and he is familiar with the routes here. He sat in the driver's seat and acted as the driver.

Glancing through the small window at the back, Chen Ju and Xiaoyun were sitting face to face in the low and narrow shed, with a shy smile on their faces.

Jiang Zhou's heart immediately became unbalanced, and he wanted to stop the car and drag the man out without going anywhere.

But in the end, he did nothing, turned around, and started the tricycle. The cold wind cut his face like a knife, and the pain and cold allowed his sanity to return to his body.

Jiang Jin's words sounded again, he can't repeat the mistakes he made before, and he must give Chen Ju enough respect and trust. Even if the process is difficult and long, he will persevere and never let go.

"Is that your friend? It doesn't look like it's from a nearby village, is it from the city?" Xiaoyun asked, sneaking a glance at Jiang Zhou's back in front of him.

Chen Ju paused, lowered his head, and hummed. He thought he had said that, and Jiang Zhou would get in his cousin's car and leave, but he didn't expect him to stay.

"No wonder," Xiao Yun said with a smile, "I think his temperament is different from the people here, he must be a rich man."

Xiaoyun had a little affection for Jiang Zhou at first, but after knowing that he is from the city, she has no thoughts on that aspect at all. Although she is young, she is well aware of this truth.

"Well," Chen Ju thought for a while and said, "He and we are not from the same world, and he will leave sooner or later. My second aunt doesn't know the situation, so I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Xiaoyun laughed, she didn't care too much, "How have you been in recent years? There is no news about you."

"I," Chen Ju paused, and smiled, "It's okay, let's do that, work and make money."

"That's right. I also didn't behave in the company a few years ago. I was so angry that I resigned. I came to live at home for a while to rest." Xiao Yun sighed, "Rural children like us who have no power and power will be bullied wherever they go to work."

"Well, yes." Chen Ju thought of something, and replied in a low voice.

For the next ten minutes or so, the two chatted on one side and on the other. Xiao Yun looked quiet, but after getting acquainted, he was very talkative, and chatting made people feel very comfortable. Chen Ju had been suppressed during this time.I feel better.

When Jiang Zhou turned around, he saw Chen Ju's relaxed and relaxed smile, and his heart tightened for a while. He hadn't seen such a smile for a long, long time.

For the first time, Jiang Zhou felt a strange feeling of jealousy towards a strange and weak little girl in his heart. When this feeling popped up, he immediately reacted, and his face suddenly became ugly. Jiang Zhou's face was not ashamed all the way to the county seat.Ease, also did not say a word.

When they arrived at the destination, Chen Ju got out of the car first, and then reached out to help Xiaoyun. The two acted intimately, talking and laughing. Jiang Zhou stood beside the car, staring at them with a gloomy face, almost going crazy with jealousy.

He clenched his fists tightly, resisting the urge to grab Chen Ju and carry him away. He took a few deep breaths, his chest rose and fell, and adjusted his emotions.

"Brother Jiang, let's go over there to look at the clothes. The temperature is getting warmer recently, so buy two thinner coats." Xiaoyun came over to talk to Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Zhou nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Okay, I just want to buy two clothes, and I don't have any clothes to wear here."

After speaking, Chen Ju immediately said: "Aren't you going to leave? Why are you still buying clothes?"

Jiang Zhou paused, with the same smile on his face, and said nicely, "Then I'll buy you two new clothes."

"I don't need it." Chen Ju said, and refused without giving any face.

At this time, the smile on Jiang Zhou's face couldn't hold back anymore, Xiaoyun looked at the two of them, and said quickly: "I want to buy it, so you can stay with me~"

As he said that, Xiaoyun stretched out his hand to take Chen Ju's wrist, pulled him aside, leaned into his ear, and said something in a low voice, the two of them were very close to each other, almost as if they were in a hugging posture.After Xiaoyun's words, the expression on Chen Ju's face softened obviously.

Jiang Zhou's eyes turned cold, and he clenched his fists. He could bear Chen Ju's indifference or ignorance of him, but he couldn't bear him being so close to other girls, especially being so close.

However, in order not to make Chen Ju unhappy, Jiang Zhou endured it without saying a word.

Xiaoyun didn't know what he said to Chen Ju. Chen Ju promised the three of them to go and look at the clothes together. During the whole process, Xiaoyun stood between the two of them, holding Chen Ju's arm. The two talked and laughed.Jiang Zhou entered the topic, but Jiang Zhou would always be silent.

Passing by a clothes store, Xiaoyun took a fancy to a coat, and asked the clerk to help her get it. When changing clothes, she handed her bag to Chen Ju, and went into the dressing room.

While she was changing clothes, the clerk took a peek at Jiang Zhou and said to Chen Ju: "Young man, you are so lucky to have such a good girlfriend~"

Chen Ju just wanted to explain, but before he could speak, Jiang Zhou said first, "They are not a couple."

His tone was very strong, as if he was angry. The smile on the clerk's face suddenly froze, and he laughed dryly twice, and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I think they are very close, and I thought they were a couple."

"It's almost the same, but we're still getting along." Chen Ju said suddenly, pursing her lips, without looking at Jiang Zhou.

The expression on Jiang Zhou's face immediately became terrifying. He reached out and grabbed Chen Ju's wrist, and without waiting for him to respond, he pulled him out of the store without saying a word.

He walked quickly, and Chen Ju was dragged staggeringly. At a corner, Jiang Zhou stopped, pulled Chen Ju into the emergency safety passage, stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "What?When? I don't allow it!"

Chen Ju pressed his back against the cold wall, couldn't help shivering, frowned, raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, his eyes were calm and indifferent, this kind of eyes made Jiang Zhou feel palpitations, and his mind returned toIn his body, he let go of his hand and took a step back.

"Does it hurt? I'm sorry." Jiang Zhou looked at Chen Ju's red wrist, his voice was hoarse, "I was too excited just now."

Chen Ju rubbed the wrist that was caught red, lowered her eyes, did not look at Jiang Zhou, and said softly: "Needless to say I'm sorry, I'm used to it."

Jiang Zhou froze, looking at Chen Ju with a flash of pain in his eyes, he took a step closer, stretched out his hand to wrap Chen Ju between the wall and his arms, lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Little Orange, look up.How about looking at me?"

Chen Ju tilted his head, and stubbornly didn't look at Jiang Zhou. Jiang Zhou looked at the man with a cold expression, and his chest felt fine and sour. He lowered his head and leaned closer, trying to kiss Chen Ju's lips.Chen Ju turned her head and avoided it.

His lips swept across the man's cheeks, leaving only a trace of warmth. Jiang Zhou paused for a few seconds, closed his eyes in pain, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and lowered his head, resting his forehead on Chen Ju's shoulder, dumbfounded.Said: "Little Orange, don't associate with her, okay? I beg you."

Chen Ju trembled, and finally said nothing. He stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang Zhou away, leaving only his back, and said in a flat tone: "Go back, otherwise Xiaoyun will be worried if he can't find anyone."

After finishing speaking, Chen Ju left without looking back. Jiang Zhou's tall figure stood in the passageway. He lowered his head and bent his waist, looking very lonely.

Xiaoyun tried on four or five pieces of clothing, and finally bought the first coat. After paying, she looked at the door and asked, "Where is Brother Jiang? Why haven't you come back after going to the bathroom for so long?"

Chen Ju paused, looked towards the door, Jiang Zhou's tall and lonely figure in the emergency passage just now appeared in front of his eyes, and the begging that was stuck to his ear, the damp and hot touch seemed to be still lingering in his ear, he stretched out his hand unnaturallyHe rubbed his earlobe and said, "I'll take a look."

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Jiang Zhou coming towards him, his eyes met. Jiang Zhou's originally indifferent eyes immediately showed a hint of surprise. He walked forward quickly and said, "Little orange, are you going to come here?"Are you looking for me?"

Chen Ju was stunned for a moment, the smell of tobacco on the man's body was very strong when he approached, so don't think about what he was doing just now.

"Xiaoyun asked me to find you." After speaking, Chen Ju looked away, turned around and entered the store again.

Jiang Zhou watched Chen Ju walk towards Xiaoyun's back, the smile in his eyes dissipated and was shrouded in thick and unresolved sadness. He lowered his head and walked towards the two of them.

For the next shopping trip, Jiang Zhou followed the two without saying a word, like a superfluous existence, but he couldn't ignore it, because of his overly flamboyant appearance, five or six little girls had already asked for their numbers along the way.

Finally arrived at a fast food restaurant, the three found a place to sit down, Chen Ju volunteered to order food, after he left, only Xiaoyun and Jiang Zhou were left on the table.

"Brother Jiang, is there something on your mind? I see that you have been unhappy." Xiaoyun asked.

Jiang Zhou was leaning on the chair, his eyes drooping, thick and slender eyelashes draped over his eyelids, making people unable to look away. Suddenly, he raised his eyes and looked at Xiaoyun with burning eyes, Xiaoyun's heart tightened for a while., jumping up, she thought, no matter who is looking at such a pair of eyes, they will all be moved, it is so beautiful.

miss like crazy

"I'm pursuing Chen Ju, and I hope you quit." Jiang Zhou cut to the chase.

Xiaoyun was stunned for a full three seconds, and finally realized the meaning of Jiang Zhou's words. He immediately widened his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and stammered: "You, you, Chen Ju, Chen Ju..."..."

"Yes, I like him," Jiang Zhou said, with a serious and firm tone, without any intention of joking, "I'm pursuing him, that's why I came here, I hope you don't have any close contact with him."

After finishing speaking, their table became quiet, which was in stark contrast to the noise around them. After a few seconds, Jiang Zhou saw an extremely strange smile on Xiaoyun's face. He said he was happy but not like it.He also couldn't understand it for a while.

"Let me just say it," Xiaoyun touched his chin, nodded again, and said, "I understand, no wonder, so did you make Chen Ju angry before? That's why you came here?"

Jiang Zhou was silent for a few seconds, pain flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "I did something wrong and made him sad. It's all my fault. He should ignore me."

"Although I don't know what happened, but if you chase someone like this, you will definitely not be able to catch up!" Xiaoyun changed his shy look before, and looked at Jiang Zhou with bright eyes, shining with excitement.

Jiang Zhou raised his eyes, looked at Xiaoyun, suddenly became a little nervous, and said, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"

"Ahem, I don't know everything, but there is a little bit, it depends on whether you believe me or not." Xiaoyun said.

Jiang Zhou immediately said, "I believe it."

"Okay, then come closer." Xiaoyun waved, and Jiang Zhou bent over.

Chen Ju came over with some food, and saw Jiang Zhou and Xiaoyun very close to each other from a distance, and didn't know what they were talking about.

He originally thought that everything about Jiang Zhou had nothing to do with him, but this scene was like a thorn piercing his chest, and there was an unbearable pain in his heart. He turned around and walked back with a plate in a panic.over the counter.

After standing there for a few minutes, Chen Ju walked over with the plate again. Jiang Zhou and Xiaoyun had resumed their previous sitting posture. After seeing him, Jiang Zhou immediately smiled, stood up and walked over, taking the plate in his hand.

"It's heavy, you sit first, I'll carry it." Jiang Zhou said.

Chen Ju hummed, walked to Xiaoyun and sat down. I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Xiaoyun looked at him differently, as if he was exploring something.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Chen Ju asked.

Xiaoyun quickly smiled and said, "No, no, I just think you look more handsome than before, don't you, Brother Jiang?"

Hearing this sentence, Chen Ju paused, and subconsciously looked towards the opposite side, just as Jiang Zhou was also looking at him, meeting those dark eyes, he had the illusion of being sucked in.

"Well, the little orange has always been very cute." Jiang Zhou smiled, with a doting tone.

Chen Ju's earlobes were visibly red with the naked eye, and she lowered her eyes in a panic, not looking at Jiang Zhou's eyes again.

While eating, Jiang Zhou has been helping Chen Ju unpack, insert straws, get paper towels, and pour water. Because Xiaoyun is here, Chen Ju is too ugly to cook, so he can only accept Jiang Zhou's care.

After eating, Xiaoyun suddenly said that a friend of hers didn't have a car and asked her to pick it up.

"I'm really sorry, I rode the tricycle first, and it's too late now, why don't you stay in a nearby hotel for one night?" Xiao Yun said with a sincere expression.

"It's not your fault," Chen Ju said, "Go pick up your friend first, otherwise it's not safe when it gets dark."

"Okay, then I'll go first." Xiaoyun gave Jiang Zhou a wink before leaving.

Seeing the tricycle riding far away, Jiang Zhou was about to reach out to hold Chen Ju's hand, but Chen Ju dodged before he could touch it.

"Did you say something to her?" Chen Ju put her hands behind her back, pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Zhou, "It's enough to use a routine once, I'm not as stupid as you think."

There was a wave of fluctuation in Jiang Zhou's eyes. He lowered his head, stared at Chen Ju, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you."

"you live alone
