red dust under the lamp

Like a family-friendly American comedy, the four of them started acting like clowns without telling their parents.

Ning Jue knew that if she stayed here in the future, she might make a mistake. When she first entered Xie Yichen's house, she took two steps back and dragged Robin to tell him that they both had to leave for a while.

While preparing an excuse, Ms. Xie suddenly remembered her, and called out from the kitchen: "Ning Jue... come in and help me..."

Ms. Xie was putting on her apron, and it was rare for her to come by herself. She insisted on cooking for Xie Yichen and Jiang Wang to make her famous crucian carp soup.

He opened the refrigerator, looked at the stock of fresh vegetables, and checked whether the two people were living a good life. After checking, he turned around and called Ning Jue in.

Ning Jue came in obediently. Ms. Xie hadn’t cooked for a long time and was cutting onions while wiping her tears. She was crying and smiling, which startled Ning Jue. She hurriedly reached out to take over the task of cutting vegetables. Tears, opened the refrigerator, a little weak from being tossed by onions: "Hey, no, my eyes..."

"It's not time for dinner yet, so hurry up and rest." Ning Jue washed his hands, "This onion is quite spicy."

After trying to stop Ms. Xie from ruining the kitchen and sending people out, Robin stood up immediately, as if a switch was installed under his buttocks.

Ms. Xie was taken aback: "Robin, you are too polite, just sit down as you please, I'll wipe my eyes..."

After coming out of the bathroom, Ning Jue wanted to leave, but Ms. Xie wanted to talk to her privately.

After thinking about it, I sent the idiot Robin away first, and patted him on the shoulder: "I want to eat rice noodles from Hongshang Road."

Robin looked up: "Oh." Hongshang Road and this side are almost diagonal to Nancheng.

"I want to eat—" Ning Jue gritted his teeth, and Robin finally understood: "I understand, I'll go right away, I might go for a long time."

"Don't come back if you don't make it in time for the meal..." Ning Jue specifically reminded her.

"Hurry up and go back too." Robin also told her not to make up too many nonsense here so that she couldn't get along.

Jiang Wang stood up and said that he was going to see him off, but Ning Jue narrowed his eyes.

strange.

You gay men are so annoying, so clingy!

Ning Jue didn't have time to respond to Xie Yichen's wry smile, and turned to Ms. Xie.

Ms. Xie was sitting upright in the study room. Although it hadn't been a few years, she showed an old look that she hadn't seen before. Her hair was dyed jet black, and every strand of her hair was decent and decent. Nothing made her less elegant or beautiful. With a faint smile, but with some meaning of interrogation, Ning Jue turned around and closed the door, Xie Yichen waved to her from the crack of the door.

The door was ajar, and Ning Jue was pulled by Ms. Xie to sit down.

She felt like Lin Daiyu had just entered Jia's mansion. Although everyone was relatives, she had to pay attention everywhere.She felt like she would have to kneel and salute at any moment to express her gratitude for all these years.

Ms. Xie chatted a few words, then turned around and asked, "Auntie, please don't mind."

"You say you say."

"I heard that you were interested in...Little Jiang'er...so you ran away in the middle of the night?"

Ning Jue was dripping with cold sweat.

Is this blaming her for running away in the middle of the night?

Are you still thinking about Jiang Wang?Misunderstood that she likes Jiang Wang, and now the good brother of Jiang Wang wants to love but not to destroy his family?

How to pick this up?

Even though Ning Jue knows how to perceive other people's emotions, Ms. Xie's emotions are wrapped in the experience of the elders, and she deliberately hides them from her.

Frowning: "What? Like Jiang Wang? No, no..."

Ms. Xie's brows were obviously relaxed, as if she saw a mistress who lost her way and found her way... Ning Jue thought, the problem was actually more serious. She was already a mistress, and it was a fait accompli, which really destroyed her marriage.

"Then why did you leave? Did Yichen bully you? Or me and..."

"No...ah, that's right, because I heard you and Mr. Li talk about going to the United States, and I thought that staying at your house would make it difficult for you to drive me away, so I might as well leave by myself."

These words were sincere and fluent, and she felt ridiculous when she said them. The decision at that time maintained a little humble self-esteem—plus the irresistible emotions, forcing her to go, that is, trekking in the snow also go.

Ms. Xie sighed, and frowned again: "You said you, alas, Yichen also said that I met you again, this is the fate between you and our family. You have been like this since you were a child-don't do this again, If the fate is used up, I don’t know if I will see you again in the future.”

"Okay." Ning Jue lowered her head.

"You don't hate Yichen, do you?"

"No." Not only do I not hate it, but I also like it very much.

Ms. Xie finally relaxed her brows completely, and chatted with her a few words, but didn't mention Robin's matter, just asked her where she works now, heard her talk about going to night school, and made some suggestions, chatted for more than half a day Hour, Xie Yichen came in.

"Why did my aunt chat with her as soon as she came?" She said sourly on purpose.

Ms. Xie joked: "That is, can a daughter and a niece be the same?

You line up. "

Ms. Xie and Xie Yichen are like two different batches reprinted from a set of molds. They have similar facial features, and even their demeanor is elegant and upright, but one is young and the other is calm.Ning Jue was caught in the middle, listening to Ms. Xie's deliberate phrase "girl" filled with shadows in her heart.

If at first——

No, not at the beginning.

Will Ms. Xie regret this?If Ning Jue hadn't raised her hand and shouted to choose her, then she might have chosen another child, and would have a daughter to inherit her ideal...

Xie Yichen's words interrupted her endless thoughts: "What are you all talking about? I'll listen too."

"Tell me that you and Xiao Jianger are a natural couple, when is the best time to have a baby." Ms. Xie deliberately amplified her voice for Xie Yichen to listen to. Ning Jue shook her head secretly, indicating that this was Ms. Xie's temporary idea.

But these words really silenced the two people present.

"Child? Let's talk about it later..." Xie Yichen said, sitting down next to her aunt.

Ms. Xie pretended to pinch her: "Don't hurry up and raise a child while you two are young and in good health. Older children will suffer!"

She has no children of her own, but she is obsessed with the matter of children, as if to make up for her regrets.

"We'll talk about that later," Xie Yichen wanted to let the topic go, and turned to Ning Jue, "Auntie must be asking why you left in the first place."

Ms. Xie was overwhelmed by the junior, and she was a little embarrassed: "What... I just asked a few words, you are a roundworm in my stomach!"

Xie Yichen: "Oh, you're going to say that people have taken a fancy to Jiang Wang again?"

Ms. Xie: "Your legs look really good!"

Ning Jue secretly smiled.

Xie Yichen: "Auntie thinks I'm not as good as Ning Jue? If Ning Jue likes it, she can definitely get my husband away?"

Ms. Xie: "Ning Jue is the one who fights for everything, unlike you, a boring gourd!"

Xie Yichen: "That's good. Anyway, Ning Jue and I have a better relationship. If Jiang Wang is so easily hooked up, then Ning Jue likes it. She will take it, and I will find another one."

Ms. Xie: "Nonsense again, Little Jianger is not such a person."

When Ning Jue heard "the relationship is better", she always felt that Xie Yichen was feinting his shot and was about to stand up for a showdown at any time, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "The more you say it, the weirder it becomes."

Ms. Xie just recovered from Xie Yichen's sharp teeth, and she didn't know why Xie Yichen suddenly argued with her clearly today. She was one head and two big, and Xie Yichen's nonsense was more difficult to solve than others' nonsense. As a married adult, the reprimand cannot be the same as before.

"Take care of her, she's married, so she won't pay attention to me as an aunt!" Ms. Xie joked to Ning Jue, Xie Yichen smiled, and Ning Jue begged for mercy: "Forgive me, and make fun of me again!" , I can go home."

"Come on, let's go home after dinner. It's hard for me to come here. It's so lively for the whole family to sit together." Ms. Xie said.

After all, Ms. Xie is getting old, and she likes the excitement. When Ning Jue heard the word "family", mixed with shame and joy, she just wanted to hurry away.

After lunch, Ning Jue said that he would go to work in the afternoon and leave. Jiang Wang and Xie Yichen acted as a model couple.

These two people are used to acting, arm in arm, hugging like no one else, handing things tacitly - no one will see any problem, but knowing the weather, Xie Yichen feels like he is performing in front of his aunt - the aunt taught him when he was a child When she danced, the stern look in her eyes made her memorable.

Now, her aunt's gentle eyes also forced her to stand on tiptoe and roll on the tip of the knife at any time.

Ms. Xie is okay, she is a decent person, not like what Xie Yichen heard about the parents of other families:

Some parents come to live with young couples, eavesdrop on whether other people do that, or they will be blamed the next day if they make a big noise, or they will be accused of clothes that have been piled up on the chair for a long time and have not been washed...

Ms. Xie is decent and dignified, goes to bed early and gets up early, cares about two people during the day, and is not accountable. Even if Jiang Wang comes back from work late and smells of alcohol, she doesn’t say anything. Xie Yichen also goes out occasionally, and she tries to do housework at home , but don't mess with other people's things.

When others hear about it, they are envious to death. Such a mother-in-law, such a mother-in-law, is perfect no matter how you look at it.

The most imperfect thing is that we originally planned to stay for seven days, but because we arrived early, the days to stay were naturally extended, and the return trip was undecided——Xie Yichen and Jiang Wang had been acting as a model couple for half a month.

After another half a month, Jiang Wang finally couldn't hold back: "I haven't seen Robin for a month, and I'm usually busy with work..."

Xie Yichen sympathized with him and let him go out, prevaricating that the temporary business could not be shirked and he needed to go for a few days.

However, his situation is not so good.

She works at home most of the time, and occasionally goes out, but her life trajectory is concentrated in the commercial center, cultural center, and has no intersection with Ning Jue... She can't stay out at night, even if she can make up excuses, she can't bear to leave her aunt at home alone .

No meeting, not even a phone call, Ning Jue

The phone of the rental house over there is always busy, and on my side, my aunt is often at home—I am almost a widow in a trance, even if Ning Jue escapes, she doesn't know it!

Ning Jue felt that she was a little lover in the golden house, and never caused trouble for Xie Yichen.

Taking advantage of this time to take the exam, the certificate was issued some time ago.

I just quit my job at a housekeeping company and received interview notices from four or five companies...

Because it was a matter of work, it was natural to take the phone with confidence. She leaned against the wall to make a phone call, and wrote down the time and place of the interview. A soft leather business notebook calmed down the bald head behind her.Ning Jue dug out the zip code on the front of the book, and dug out the phone page that she remembered densely. It was like flashing a sword. She frightened the bald man and left resentfully—no one is queuing up to use the phone now.

Ning Jue was determined to bravely call Xie Yichen at the risk of being discovered by Ms. Xie.

Some people know that there are tigers in the mountains, and they prefer to go to the mountains with courage and arrogance. Ning Jue pressed the number skillfully. As soon as he pressed the third number, he heard the sound of something falling behind him—crispy.

Looking back, Xie Yichen was picking up the crutches with his head down, and he was walking well now, but she seemed to be in a hurry, afraid of falling, so she deliberately used the crutches to scare people, so as not to bump into her without eyesight.

Ning Jue closed the notebook.

Today is... a good day for a clandestine meeting?Laughing at himself, he walked towards Xie Yichen and looked at the misty sky: "It's getting dark..."

At dusk, Xie Yichen came to look for her.

She's still wearing high heels, and she's also put on makeup and hair. It looks like you're going out for work today?Come to see her right after work?

"Auntie is still at home, I'll leave as soon as I see you—"

Xie Yichen's subtext is "In case you run away, I still have to know."

Ning Jue felt aggrieved by these words, but Xie Yichen maintained his usual calm and steady tone. Where did he perceive this emotion?Is it from yourself?

A good lover, it takes months to see each other, and he can only see him once——and leave as soon as he sees him, like visiting a prison.

Ning Jue held her back: "I was going to find you, but your aunt is here, so I'm always worried that I'm wrong."

Xie Yichen: "I didn't mean to blame you."

Of course, Ning Jue didn't mean to blame herself, she just explained that she was pulling people upstairs, but Xie Yichen hurriedly refused: "No, I'm leaving now."

"Don't go...Leave in a while? Come on, I'll cut a grapefruit for you."

come all come...

Xie Yichen had no choice but to go upstairs.

After entering the door and sitting down, Ning Jue locked the door, leaning against the back of the door, Xie Yichen witnessed Ning Jue's rascal behavior, blinked his eyes: "You—"

"I'll definitely let you go in a while, and I want to lock you up right now, so you won't be allowed to leave," Ning Jue said.

It seems that the original intention was not to allow her to leave, but out of various considerations, she still gave in.

Xie Yichen looked around for the grapefruit that Ning Jue said, and indeed he found it. It was placed whole on the table with a knife stuck in it, and it seemed that something interrupted it just after he stabbed it in. It was a bit funny at first glance. .

"I want you to come, but I'm afraid of you..." Ning Jue still leaned against the back of the door, hesitating, "I don't want you to go."

"Auntie has to worry—" Xie Yichen said halfway, Ning Jue stepped aside silently, opened the lock, took out the knife with a smile, and cut the grapefruit at another angle.

"Take two bites before leaving." Ning Jue lowered her head and placed her peeled grapefruits on the fruit plate.

"Let me call my aunt." Xie Yichen answered her quietly.

Ning Jue pricked up her ears: "Why? Who asked you to keep it? Just leave after eating the grapefruit. I'll go for an interview tomorrow! I'm not Bao Si Da Ji, I'm just trying to harm you."

She didn't talk well again, she was happy in her heart, but also a little sad, and then added: "Go back, the days are still long, I will go to you when the time comes, don't worry."

Xie Yichen saw her complacent and uneasy look, he was really helpless: "Speak well."

The fruit plate was served, and the petals of grapefruit were tender and plump. Xie Yichen took a small piece. Ning Jue lowered his eyes, wandered around for a while, and finally settled on her face: "Why are you always so gentle? Why do you care about my thoughts?"

"I didn't," Xie Yichen avoided her eyes, turned to flip through her notebook, "I decided to keep it myself."

"I miss you very much," Ning Jue leaned against the table, a little embarrassed, lowered her head and picked up the grapefruit peel, pinching it back and forth, until Xie Yichen took the grapefruit peel and put it in the trash can, then she grabbed the other's wrist, "I really like you."
