Is Mr. Jiang jealous today?
Chapter 57
It was almost nine o'clock after dinner, Zhuo Fei urged Jiang Xumiao to clean up.
"I haven't seen Lu Yuwei for so many years, why don't you wear a dress or something without makeup?"
Jiang Xumiao was obviously not very interested in this matter, and said: "I didn't bring a cosmetic bag, I didn't bring a skirt, I don't want to."
Zhuo Fei was very interested, "makeup is not easy? I have it in my room, what kind of cosmetics do you want? Skirts, you have so many in your room, which one is not good? You must wear a T-shirt."
Jiang Xumiao pursed his lips into a line and shut up.Silence at this time is the best answer.
Fan Chengyu, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but said: "Auntie, if you go to Qinglong Mountain, it's not convenient to wear a skirt, and if you put on makeup, it will be troublesome if you sweat and faint later."
Jiang Xumiao spoke concisely and agreed: "Yes."
Zhuo Fei thought so too, "Well, he should have come almost as well." As soon as he finished speaking, a horn sounded in the yard outside the door.
"He's here!" Zhuo Fei got up, and the joy in her heart was beyond words, "Miao Miao, hurry up, go and say hello to him."
Jiang Xumiao stood up slowly, seeing Zhuo Fei's excited appearance, he didn't know how to react.
And what Lu Yuwei looks like now, how much has changed, she is not interested at all, okay?
In the end, Zhuo Feilian dragged her to the door. Lu Yuwei leaned on the car and raised his hand to say hello.Jiang Xumiao looked at him from a distance, and also raised his hand to greet him. Lu Yuwei was a little more mature, thin and tall.
Zhuo Fei urged: "Hurry up, call Xiaofan, hurry up."
Fan Chengyu stood behind Jiang Xumiao, without speaking, his eyes fell on the man not far away.He really looks like a human being, and aside from prejudice, he is indeed a handsome guy, and judging by his smile and eyes, he is a relatively confident and generous person.
"Let's go, Chengcheng." Jiang Xumiao pulled Fan Chengyu and walked towards the car outside the yard.Zhuo Fei, who was behind her, looked at Jiang Xumiao's leaving back with a face full of relief.
Walking in front of Lu Yuwei, Jiang Xumiao greeted him first: "Long time no see."
Lu Yuwei's deep eyes were shining, and when he saw Jiang Xumiao, the corner of his mouth smiled unconsciously, and he stretched out a hand, ready to shake hands with Jiang Xumiao, "Long time no see, Miaomiao. "
Jiang Xumiao pretended not to see his hand, but put one hand on Fan Chengyu's shoulder, brought her to his side, and introduced to Lu Yuwei: "This is my friend, Fan Chengyu."
Lu Yuwei did not withdraw his outstretched hand, but turned to Fan Chengyu, and said with a smile, "Hello, Miss Fan."
Fan Chengyu reached out his hand very naturally, and shook it with Lu Yuwei, "Hello."
Then Lu Yuwei turned and opened the car door, and gentlemanly let the two ladies go in, and Fan Chengyu let Jiang Xumiao go in, and she got into the car after entering.
After getting in the car, Lu Yuwei was not idle, and first handed Fan Chengyu and Jiang Xumiao a candy, saying it was for refreshing their brains, so as to avoid motion sickness later.Then he said that there were drinks in the card box in the back seat, and that he could open the window if he felt uncomfortable halfway.
Obviously prepared.
He said: "Xu Miao, are you still motion sick? I will try to drive as smoothly as possible."
"En." It was just one word, Jiang Xumiao didn't say anything more.
Fan Chengyu said: "Motion sickness can lean on my shoulder."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xumiao leaned on her shoulder in a lazy posture, as if hanging on Fan Chengyu's body, closed her eyes, and was about to sleep.
Fan Chengyu passed Jiang Xumiao's neck with one arm and one hand, and helped her adjust a comfortable posture.
Lu Yuwei glanced through the rearview mirror, a little surprised in his heart, and found that the movements of these two people were too skilled, and it was probably not the first time that Jiang Xumiao leaned on her shoulder.
In Lu Yuwei's impression, only Zhong An could have such a good relationship with Jiang Xumiao.
Then look at this Ms. Fan in front of her. She is unfamiliar and has never heard of it. She thought they were just ordinary friends. It seems that she should have a good relationship.
But Lu Yuwei didn't think much about it, after all, it's quite normal between girls.
He drove to Qingyuan Mountain, and the car drove towards the outer ring. During this period, he had no communication with Jiang Xumiao, because Jiang Xumiao had been sleeping.
An hour later, almost reaching Qinglong Mountain, he said to the people behind him, "We're almost there."
Jiang Xumiao opened his eyes, his eyes were confused.
Fan Cheng said softly, "Are you awake?"
"Uh-huh."
Fan Chengyu handed her a wet tissue, "Wipe your hands."
"Oh..." Jiang Xumiao took the tissue and wiped his hands obediently.
After she finished wiping her hands, Fan Chengyu handed her another bottle of water, and said softly, "Drink water."
"Yeah." Jiang Xumiao started drinking water again.
While Lu Yuwei was driving, he did not forget to focus on the two of them.
He had a very strange feeling, that Fan Chengyu was a little too caring, and even had a strange idea...
They look like a couple?
Lu Yuwei shook his head, trying to get this thought out of his head.Impossible, Jiang Xumiao can't be.And this Ms. Fan, shouldn't she be?
Lu Yuwei doesn't have a deep understanding of lesbianism. In his impression, it should be a combination of a more masculine woman and another feminine woman.
And these two people in front of them are very feminine, they are both beauties. Now beauties don't fall in love with beauties, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Yuwei felt relieved. He probably thought too much, maybe it's just that women are more considerate.
After arriving at Qingyuan Mountain, the three got out of the car and bought a bunch of flowers and some paper money at the foot of the mountain.
After getting out of the car, Lu Yuwei took the initiative to walk to Jiang Xumiao's side and said, "Do you remember where your brother is?"
"I remember."
Lu Yuwei stared at Jiang Xumiao intently, the luster in his eyes became brighter, he smiled and said: "I haven't seen you in so many years, Miao Miao, you are more beautiful than before."
Hearing this, Fan Chengyu frowned, thinking that there is no need to say this?Of course Jiang Xumiao is beautiful, she has always been beautiful, not as good-looking as before and now.
Jiang Xumiao didn't know how to reply him, and the rainbow fart came suddenly, a little at a loss, "Well...you are more mature than before."
Lu Yuwei laughed even more happily, and said, "Auntie said, you haven't had a date these years."
Fan Chengyu had a question mark in his heart, why was he quite normal in the car just now, and now he suddenly talked about this...
"Well, no."
Lu Yuwei took the flowers from Jiang Xumiao's hand, "I'll take the flowers. So why don't you have a date? Don't you have any ideas about this?"
Jiang Xumiao, who had been walking, suddenly stopped, and Fan Chengyu and Lu Yuwei also stopped, looking at her.
"Lu Yuwei, I don't really want to talk about this right now."
Lu Yuwei immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, sorry, I just wanted to find something to talk about. I've been abroad for a long time, and I'm so excited to see you for a while, I don't know what to say."
Jiang Xumiao said helplessly, "Then you don't have to say anything." She hated being asked about her private life.
Lu Yuwei nodded, "Okay, then don't say anything."
The three of them continued to move forward. It was the beginning of summer, and the woods on Qingyuan Mountain became more verdant. The road up the mountain was built into a winding staircase, and walking was not as strenuous as before, but the morning sun also became more venomous.
Jiang Xumiao's temples were covered with fine sweat, and Fan Chengyu handed her wet tissues and water the whole time.
Lu Yuwei became obedient and stopped talking.
Jiang Xumiao didn't have a strong desire to speak the whole time, maybe it was because of the emotion caused by the scene, the feeling of blockage in his heart became stronger again.
The footsteps were step by step, getting closer and closer to the halfway up the mountain, Jiang Xumiao's mood became more and more dazed, and she didn't hear Fan Chengyu's words to her several times.
Fan Chengyu has also learned to be good, and stopped talking. She knew that Jiang Xumiao should be quite depressed, and she didn't seem to want to talk now.
There was silence all the way, and the steps up the mountain became heavy.To get to Jiang Xumiao's brother's grave, you need to walk a section of rocky and deserted road, which is an unexplored way of life.
Lu Yuwei looked at the branches in front of him and the barbs on them, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Are you sure you entered from here?"
Jiang Xumiao nodded: "Sure, it's here."
"Then you two follow me, and I will open the way." He broke a thick stick, slapped it among the densely packed branches, and opened a way.
The road that can be walked is very narrow and can only be walked alone.Fan Chengyu said to Jiang Xumiao: "You go in the middle, and I will protect you from behind."
In the end, Jiang Xumiao walked in the middle, Lu Yuwei led the way, and Fan Chengyu protected the rear.
Most of the people who come to visit their dead relatives come during the Spring Festival or Qingming Festival. There are very few people who come to visit the grave on May Day, so all the branches and vines have grown out, and this place is very remote.
Although Lu Yuwei opened the way ahead, after walking for a while, a red mark was accidentally drawn on Jiang Xumiao's arm.
Fan Chengyu noticed it from behind, and her heart ached to death. If she knew this place was so remote, she brought a machete and cut off all the branches.
She said to Lu Yuwei in front of her, "Mr. Lu, please beat the branch thoroughly, otherwise Miaomiao's arm will be scratched again."
Lu Yuwei gasped and said, "Okay, leave it to me." In fact, he was extremely tired, hot and sweaty, and his well-worn suit was stained.But Jiang Xumiao was here, all of this was for her, he was willing and felt it was worth it.
After walking forward for a while, when approaching the grave, Lu Yuwei stopped suddenly.
Jiang Xumiao and Fan Chengyu also stopped.
"what happened?"
Lu Yuwei raised the long stick in his hand, not daring to act rashly, and said: "Don't move."
Fan Chengyu looked in Lu Yuwei's direction, and found a snake wrapped around a branch not far away, making squeaks, and the snake's head was facing Lu Yuwei, spitting at him. Tongue, slightly aggressive.
Jiang Xumiao was frightened and took a step back. Fan Chengyu took a step forward and protected her behind him, "Don't be afraid, it's a cauliflower snake, the non-venomous one."
Lu Yuwei took a few steps back slowly, his legs were shaking with fright.
His face was blue, his temples were already sweating, and he said in a flustered tone, "Is this a poisonous snake?"
Fan Chengyu replied, "No, it's the cauliflower snake, a very common one, and it's not poisonous."
"But I dare not go any further." Lu Yuwei backed away slowly, because the road was narrow, Fan Chengyu and Jiang Xumiao could only go back the same way.
After exiting, Jiang Xumiao said: "Or you can stand outside here, and Xiaofan and I will go in." Although Jiang Xumiao was also afraid, she thought in her heart that since everyone has come here, they can't all come back soon. Let's go.
Lu Yuwei hesitated for a moment, and said, "Forget it, I'll accompany you in. You two girls are probably afraid too."
Fan Chengyu said, "Forget it, I think you are also afraid of snakes."
Lu Yuwei said: "Aren't you afraid??"
Fan Chengyu shrugged his shoulders calmly: "I'm not afraid."
She walked up to Lu Yuwei, took the stick in his hand, and then walked through the narrow road to make way for Jiang Xumiao.
When he arrived at the place where the cauliflower snake was, Fan Chengyu made a barking sound, attracting the snake's attention.Then she took the stick and picked the snake up from the tree.
Behind Fan Chengyu, Jiang Xumiao was so frightened that his whole body had goose bumps.
Lu Yuwei whispered: "Your friend is a bit fierce..."
Jiang Xumiao was worried, and ignored Lu Yuwei, but said to Fan Chengyu, "Chengcheng, be careful."
I saw the snake wrapped around the long stick in Fan Chengyu's hand, and then Fan Chengyu swung the stick a few times, the snake was thrown out of the grass ditch a few meters away, and then shrank away down the mountain.
Fan Chengyu turned around and gestured to the two people behind him, "Come here, let's go~"
Jiang Xumiao breathed a sigh of relief, stepped into the grass, and walked in the direction of Fan Chengyu.Lu Yuwei hadn't reacted yet, but he still followed.
Along the way, he paid special attention to the surrounding grass, lest another cold-blooded animal would appear.
After finally walking to Jiang Xumiao's elder brother's grave, it was still an old-fashioned tomb that had not been repaired, but a simple stele was erected, and the words on it could not be read clearly.
"Is this your brother's grave?" Fan Chengyu's tone revealed disbelief.
"Ah."
"how..."
Jiang Xumiao explained: "My mother never came. It was my father's relatives who came. I used to follow them."
Seeing that Fan Chengyu's expression was still confused and puzzled, Jiang Xumiao explained again: "Don't look at my mother, there was nothing unusual this morning, but I saw that her eye sockets were swollen, and she probably cried last night. She should be in this place. I have been here once, the time my brother was buried. I guess my mother will not be able to come, she will be very sad."
Fan Chengyu let out a long sigh, "Okay."
Lu Yuwei took out the paper money in his pocket and began to tear it into pieces. Jiang Xumiao put the flowers on the grave, and the three began to tear the paper.
Jiang Xumiao tore up the paper, glanced at her brother's grave again, and said to Fan Chengyu: "Chengcheng, I heard that if the ashes of the paper money are blown high by the wind, it means that the deceased will collect the money. To the thoughts of the living."
Fan Chengyu looked up at the sky, the sun came out, it was scorching hot, and there was no wind around.
But she still replied to Jiang Xumiao: "My brother will receive what you want to say to him."
After tearing up the paper money, Lu Yuwei took out a lighter and lit the paper money. The flame started to blaze after meeting the thin paper, and Jiang Xumiao stared at the flame in a daze.
She remembered that when her brother was a child, he always held her hand and took her to buy delicious food.Several times when Jiang Xumiao asked for something to eat, his brother made it for her. Although he stole money a few times and was beaten up, his brother was beaten as soon as he beat him, and he never regretted it.
"I think my brother is a very good person. If he has the opportunity to grow up, he will definitely achieve something. His dream is to be a pilot."
"My brother also told me that my sister is the cutest girl in the world. He said that no matter what happens, she will be my most solid backing and will not let any boy in the world bully me."
"Do you know? I didn't dare to watch him being beaten when he was a child. Because I was thinking, a well-behaved child like my brother will be beaten, so what kind of child can not be beaten?"
As Jiang Xumiao spoke, his eyes couldn't help getting wet.
Ever since I dreamed about my brother that night, there is actually a part of my heart that I have not let go of. There is always a sense of guilt. The better life is now, the deeper the guilt Jiang Xumiao feels.
She even hated it a little, hated why she was so young at that time, so she couldn't help anything.And these years, although she hardly mentioned this person to anyone, she never forgot in her heart.
If possible, Jiang Xumiao really wanted to say those words to him.
She hoped that he would live a long life in his next life, even if he took her life to make up for her.
To be healthy, to be happy, to be born into a happy family.
All of a sudden, the wind blows from the other side of the mountain, blowing the grass and flames, the waves of green grass surge in, the flames grow stronger and stronger, and the leaves beside the grave also rustle.
Fan Chengyu said, "The wind is blowing."
The ashes of the paper money were blown up by the wind, and the burnt taupe paper rose all over the sky, flying higher and farther, flying down the mountain like countless butterflies flying to the bottom of the mountain.
"Your brother should have heard what you said."
Jiang Xumiao reached out to touch the corner of her eye, and found that it was already wet and greasy, and she was startled.
After coming down from the mountain, Lu Yuwei was thinking about something.
In fact, he was quite surprised. Jiang Xumiao also had an older brother, which he didn't know about.He remembered that when he met Jiang Xumiao, Aunt Zhuo Fei and Uncle Jiang Cheng were married.And why Aunt Zhuofei is so rich now, but she doesn't repair her son's tomb, I'm quite confused.
The most important thing is that when he saw Jiang Xumiao crying just now, something in his heart was touched, and he became more firm in his thoughts, he wanted to chase this girl, cherish her, protect her, and give her happiness.
After going down the mountain, the three of them got into the car and returned the same way.
Lu Yuwei did not remain silent, and continued to chat with Jiang Xumiao: "Miaomiao, do you have time tonight?"
"No time to."
Lu Yuwei smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, and I want to have a meal with you or something."
"Well, next time."
Lu Yuwei looked at Jiang Xumiao through the rearview mirror, and he found that Jiang Xumiao was looking at Fan Chengyu. How should I put it, that look brought back the thought that Lu Yuwei had suppressed just now.
Because Jiang Xumiao's eyes are so affectionate, and sometimes eyes can't deceive people, Lu Yuwei suppressed his inner anxiety and said, "Miao Miao, I'm going back to China this time, and I don't plan to go out. I'll just stay in A city."
Jiang Xumiao looked away from Fan Chengyu's face and looked at Lu Yuwei with a confused tone: "City A? Isn't your home in City H?"
He explained: "I was assigned to City A as the manager of a company. And Uncle Jiang said, you are alone in City A. If I go there, we will take care of you."
Fan Chengyu wanted to speak, but Jiang Xumiao held down her hand and said first, "If I'm in city A, I'm very busy with work, so I don't think I have any chance to meet you."
Lu Yuwei chased after him, still persistent: "It's okay, I won't disturb you normally, let's make an appointment occasionally on weekends."
Fan Chengyu lowered his head, bit his lip the whole time to hold back his words, wanted to say something, but was afraid of saying too much, felt extremely uncomfortable.
This man's purpose is too obvious, and the way he looks at Jiang Xumiao is too obvious, he just likes it, 100% like it.
Jiang Xumiao is not a fool either, she understands the meaning of Lu Yuwei's words, she is not a person who likes moji, besides, she already has Fan Chengyu now, so she should give her a sense of security.
"Yu Wei, there is something I want to tell you."
The corner of Lu Yuwei's mouth curled into a smile, "Say it."
"I have a favorite person."
His smile froze for a moment, and after a few seconds, "Is it from your school?"
Jiang Xumiao took Fan Chengyu's hand, pressed her knuckles lightly a few times, raised her head, and said seriously, "Yes, it's my colleague."
Fan Chengyu raised his head to look at Jiang Xumiao, and found that her eyes were more serious than ever.
Lu Yuwei didn't speak, and continued to drive, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just when Fan Chengyu thought he would give up, Lu Yuwei said again: "I just like it, right? Then we shouldn't be together yet, can I compete fairly with him?"
Fan Cheng frowned, thinking to himself, good guy, this man has a thick skin.
Jiang Xumiao let out a long sigh, and repeatedly emphasized: "It's impossible for us, I have always regarded you as a friend, and we will not have that kind of relationship."
"Give me a chance, okay? I'll give you what you want, whatever you like."
Fan Chengyu couldn't hold back anymore, her patience had reached its limit, "Mr. Lu Yuwei, I don't know if I should say something." She didn't wait for Lu Yuwei's response, and said directly: "She has refused enough. It's clear, you don't need to insist anymore. It may seem sincere to you, but in fact, girls will find it very troublesome."
Lu Yuwei raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Miss Fan seems to understand."
Fan Chengyu also raised his eyebrows, with a similar tone: "Just tell the truth, if a girl likes you, she will run towards you even if there are thousands of difficulties ahead. The melon that is twisted is not sweet."
Lu Yuwei's tone was sneering: "Miss Fan, it's all about persuading reconciliation and not discord, but you are persuading discord and not reconciliation. It's hard for me not to doubt your intentions if you're like this."
Jiang Xumiao squeezed Fan Chengyu's hand, and interjected, "Lu Yuwei, what do you mean?"
Lu Yuwei's tone softened immediately: "I'm sorry Miaomiao, I didn't mean that, I'm just your friend..."
Jiang Xumiao replied directly: "I don't allow you to call me a friend!"
"I..." Lu Yuwei was helpless, "I just want you to know me better."
Jiang Xumiao rubbed the center of her brows, her head ached to death, Lu Yuwei was still as persistent as before, she thought he had gone out to study for a few years, and could understand people's language, so what's the point of such an obvious refusal?
Jiang Xumiao took a deep breath and said, "Lu Yuwei, I will make it clear to you today, whether you work in City A or City H, please don't involve me. I know my mother likes you very much, but it doesn't matter. On behalf of my position, I have someone I like, someone I like very much, please don't interfere with my life, we can't. If you simply want to be friends with me, you can. But if you are looking for men and women As the relationship develops, I advise you not to waste your time."
Fan Chengyu looked sideways, looked out the window, and stopped talking.
Looking at the shadows of the trees retreating rapidly outside and the vehicles speeding past on the main road, Fan Chengyu's mood improved a lot, and the smile on the corner of his lips couldn't stop rising.
Maybe this is the sense of security.
"I haven't seen Lu Yuwei for so many years, why don't you wear a dress or something without makeup?"
Jiang Xumiao was obviously not very interested in this matter, and said: "I didn't bring a cosmetic bag, I didn't bring a skirt, I don't want to."
Zhuo Fei was very interested, "makeup is not easy? I have it in my room, what kind of cosmetics do you want? Skirts, you have so many in your room, which one is not good? You must wear a T-shirt."
Jiang Xumiao pursed his lips into a line and shut up.Silence at this time is the best answer.
Fan Chengyu, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but said: "Auntie, if you go to Qinglong Mountain, it's not convenient to wear a skirt, and if you put on makeup, it will be troublesome if you sweat and faint later."
Jiang Xumiao spoke concisely and agreed: "Yes."
Zhuo Fei thought so too, "Well, he should have come almost as well." As soon as he finished speaking, a horn sounded in the yard outside the door.
"He's here!" Zhuo Fei got up, and the joy in her heart was beyond words, "Miao Miao, hurry up, go and say hello to him."
Jiang Xumiao stood up slowly, seeing Zhuo Fei's excited appearance, he didn't know how to react.

In the end, Zhuo Feilian dragged her to the door. Lu Yuwei leaned on the car and raised his hand to say hello.Jiang Xumiao looked at him from a distance, and also raised his hand to greet him. Lu Yuwei was a little more mature, thin and tall.
Zhuo Fei urged: "Hurry up, call Xiaofan, hurry up."
Fan Chengyu stood behind Jiang Xumiao, without speaking, his eyes fell on the man not far away.He really looks like a human being, and aside from prejudice, he is indeed a handsome guy, and judging by his smile and eyes, he is a relatively confident and generous person.

Walking in front of Lu Yuwei, Jiang Xumiao greeted him first: "Long time no see."
Lu Yuwei's deep eyes were shining, and when he saw Jiang Xumiao, the corner of his mouth smiled unconsciously, and he stretched out a hand, ready to shake hands with Jiang Xumiao, "Long time no see, Miaomiao. "
Jiang Xumiao pretended not to see his hand, but put one hand on Fan Chengyu's shoulder, brought her to his side, and introduced to Lu Yuwei: "This is my friend, Fan Chengyu."

Lu Yuwei looked at the branches in front of him and the barbs on them, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Are you sure you entered from here?"
Jiang Xumiao nodded: "Sure, it's here."
"Then you two follow me, and I will open the way." He broke a thick stick, slapped it among the densely packed branches, and opened a way.
The road that can be walked is very narrow and can only be walked alone.Fan Chengyu said to Jiang Xumiao: "You go in the middle, and I will protect you from behind."
In the end, Jiang Xumiao walked in the middle, Lu Yuwei led the way, and Fan Chengyu protected the rear.
Most of the people who come to visit their dead relatives come during the Spring Festival or Qingming Festival. There are very few people who come to visit the grave on May Day, so all the branches and vines have grown out, and this place is very remote.
Although Lu Yuwei opened the way ahead, after walking for a while, a red mark was accidentally drawn on Jiang Xumiao's arm.
Fan Chengyu noticed it from behind, and her heart ached to death. If she knew this place was so remote, she brought a machete and cut off all the branches.
She said to Lu Yuwei in front of her, "Mr. Lu, please beat the branch thoroughly, otherwise Miaomiao's arm will be scratched again."
Lu Yuwei gasped and said, "Okay, leave it to me." In fact, he was extremely tired, hot and sweaty, and his well-worn suit was stained.But Jiang Xumiao was here, all of this was for her, he was willing and felt it was worth it.
After walking forward for a while, when approaching the grave, Lu Yuwei stopped suddenly.
Jiang Xumiao and Fan Chengyu also stopped.
"what happened?"
Lu Yuwei raised the long stick in his hand, not daring to act rashly, and said: "Don't move."
Fan Chengyu looked in Lu Yuwei's direction, and found a snake wrapped around a branch not far away, making squeaks, and the snake's head was facing Lu Yuwei, spitting at him. Tongue, slightly aggressive.
Jiang Xumiao was frightened and took a step back. Fan Chengyu took a step forward and protected her behind him, "Don't be afraid, it's a cauliflower snake, the non-venomous one."
Lu Yuwei took a few steps back slowly, his legs were shaking with fright.
His face was blue, his temples were already sweating, and he said in a flustered tone, "Is this a poisonous snake?"
Fan Chengyu replied, "No, it's the cauliflower snake, a very common one, and it's not poisonous."
"But I dare not go any further." Lu Yuwei backed away slowly, because the road was narrow, Fan Chengyu and Jiang Xumiao could only go back the same way.
After exiting, Jiang Xumiao said: "Or you can stand outside here, and Xiaofan and I will go in." Although Jiang Xumiao was also afraid, she thought in her heart that since everyone has come here, they can't all come back soon. Let's go.
Lu Yuwei hesitated for a moment, and said, "Forget it, I'll accompany you in. You two girls are probably afraid too."
Fan Chengyu said, "Forget it, I think you are also afraid of snakes."
Lu Yuwei said: "Aren't you afraid??"
Fan Chengyu shrugged his shoulders calmly: "I'm not afraid."
She walked up to Lu Yuwei, took the stick in his hand, and then walked through the narrow road to make way for Jiang Xumiao.
When he arrived at the place where the cauliflower snake was, Fan Chengyu made a barking sound, attracting the snake's attention.Then she took the stick and picked the snake up from the tree.
Behind Fan Chengyu, Jiang Xumiao was so frightened that his whole body had goose bumps.
Lu Yuwei whispered: "Your friend is a bit fierce..."
Jiang Xumiao was worried, and ignored Lu Yuwei, but said to Fan Chengyu, "Chengcheng, be careful."
I saw the snake wrapped around the long stick in Fan Chengyu's hand, and then Fan Chengyu swung the stick a few times, the snake was thrown out of the grass ditch a few meters away, and then shrank away down the mountain.
Fan Chengyu turned around and gestured to the two people behind him, "Come here, let's go~"
Jiang Xumiao breathed a sigh of relief, stepped into the grass, and walked in the direction of Fan Chengyu.Lu Yuwei hadn't reacted yet, but he still followed.
Along the way, he paid special attention to the surrounding grass, lest another cold-blooded animal would appear.
After finally walking to Jiang Xumiao's elder brother's grave, it was still an old-fashioned tomb that had not been repaired, but a simple stele was erected, and the words on it could not be read clearly.
"Is this your brother's grave?" Fan Chengyu's tone revealed disbelief.
"Ah."
"how..."
Jiang Xumiao explained: "My mother never came. It was my father's relatives who came. I used to follow them."
Seeing that Fan Chengyu's expression was still confused and puzzled, Jiang Xumiao explained again: "Don't look at my mother, there was nothing unusual this morning, but I saw that her eye sockets were swollen, and she probably cried last night. She should be in this place. I have been here once, the time my brother was buried. I guess my mother will not be able to come, she will be very sad."
Fan Chengyu let out a long sigh, "Okay."
Lu Yuwei took out the paper money in his pocket and began to tear it into pieces. Jiang Xumiao put the flowers on the grave, and the three began to tear the paper.
Jiang Xumiao tore up the paper, glanced at her brother's grave again, and said to Fan Chengyu: "Chengcheng, I heard that if the ashes of the paper money are blown high by the wind, it means that the deceased will collect the money. To the thoughts of the living."
Fan Chengyu looked up at the sky, the sun came out, it was scorching hot, and there was no wind around.
But she still replied to Jiang Xumiao: "My brother will receive what you want to say to him."
After tearing up the paper money, Lu Yuwei took out a lighter and lit the paper money. The flame started to blaze after meeting the thin paper, and Jiang Xumiao stared at the flame in a daze.
She remembered that when her brother was a child, he always held her hand and took her to buy delicious food.Several times when Jiang Xumiao asked for something to eat, his brother made it for her. Although he stole money a few times and was beaten up, his brother was beaten as soon as he beat him, and he never regretted it.
"I think my brother is a very good person. If he has the opportunity to grow up, he will definitely achieve something. His dream is to be a pilot."
"My brother also told me that my sister is the cutest girl in the world. He said that no matter what happens, she will be my most solid backing and will not let any boy in the world bully me."
"Do you know? I didn't dare to watch him being beaten when he was a child. Because I was thinking, a well-behaved child like my brother will be beaten, so what kind of child can not be beaten?"
As Jiang Xumiao spoke, his eyes couldn't help getting wet.
Ever since I dreamed about my brother that night, there is actually a part of my heart that I have not let go of. There is always a sense of guilt. The better life is now, the deeper the guilt Jiang Xumiao feels.
She even hated it a little, hated why she was so young at that time, so she couldn't help anything.And these years, although she hardly mentioned this person to anyone, she never forgot in her heart.
If possible, Jiang Xumiao really wanted to say those words to him.
She hoped that he would live a long life in his next life, even if he took her life to make up for her.
To be healthy, to be happy, to be born into a happy family.
All of a sudden, the wind blows from the other side of the mountain, blowing the grass and flames, the waves of green grass surge in, the flames grow stronger and stronger, and the leaves beside the grave also rustle.
Fan Chengyu said, "The wind is blowing."
The ashes of the paper money were blown up by the wind, and the burnt taupe paper rose all over the sky, flying higher and farther, flying down the mountain like countless butterflies flying to the bottom of the mountain.
"Your brother should have heard what you said."
Jiang Xumiao reached out to touch the corner of her eye, and found that it was already wet and greasy, and she was startled.
After coming down from the mountain, Lu Yuwei was thinking about something.
In fact, he was quite surprised. Jiang Xumiao also had an older brother, which he didn't know about.He remembered that when he met Jiang Xumiao, Aunt Zhuo Fei and Uncle Jiang Cheng were married.And why Aunt Zhuofei is so rich now, but she doesn't repair her son's tomb, I'm quite confused.
The most important thing is that when he saw Jiang Xumiao crying just now, something in his heart was touched, and he became more firm in his thoughts, he wanted to chase this girl, cherish her, protect her, and give her happiness.
After going down the mountain, the three of them got into the car and returned the same way.
Lu Yuwei did not remain silent, and continued to chat with Jiang Xumiao: "Miaomiao, do you have time tonight?"
"No time to."
Lu Yuwei smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, and I want to have a meal with you or something."
"Well, next time."
Lu Yuwei looked at Jiang Xumiao through the rearview mirror, and he found that Jiang Xumiao was looking at Fan Chengyu. How should I put it, that look brought back the thought that Lu Yuwei had suppressed just now.
Because Jiang Xumiao's eyes are so affectionate, and sometimes eyes can't deceive people, Lu Yuwei suppressed his inner anxiety and said, "Miao Miao, I'm going back to China this time, and I don't plan to go out. I'll just stay in A city."
Jiang Xumiao looked away from Fan Chengyu's face and looked at Lu Yuwei with a confused tone: "City A? Isn't your home in City H?"
He explained: "I was assigned to City A as the manager of a company. And Uncle Jiang said, you are alone in City A. If I go there, we will take care of you."
Fan Chengyu wanted to speak, but Jiang Xumiao held down her hand and said first, "If I'm in city A, I'm very busy with work, so I don't think I have any chance to meet you."
Lu Yuwei chased after him, still persistent: "It's okay, I won't disturb you normally, let's make an appointment occasionally on weekends."
Fan Chengyu lowered his head, bit his lip the whole time to hold back his words, wanted to say something, but was afraid of saying too much, felt extremely uncomfortable.
This man's purpose is too obvious, and the way he looks at Jiang Xumiao is too obvious, he just likes it, 100% like it.
Jiang Xumiao is not a fool either, she understands the meaning of Lu Yuwei's words, she is not a person who likes moji, besides, she already has Fan Chengyu now, so she should give her a sense of security.
"Yu Wei, there is something I want to tell you."
The corner of Lu Yuwei's mouth curled into a smile, "Say it."
"I have a favorite person."
His smile froze for a moment, and after a few seconds, "Is it from your school?"
Jiang Xumiao took Fan Chengyu's hand, pressed her knuckles lightly a few times, raised her head, and said seriously, "Yes, it's my colleague."
Fan Chengyu raised his head to look at Jiang Xumiao, and found that her eyes were more serious than ever.
Lu Yuwei didn't speak, and continued to drive, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just when Fan Chengyu thought he would give up, Lu Yuwei said again: "I just like it, right? Then we shouldn't be together yet, can I compete fairly with him?"
Fan Cheng frowned, thinking to himself, good guy, this man has a thick skin.
Jiang Xumiao let out a long sigh, and repeatedly emphasized: "It's impossible for us, I have always regarded you as a friend, and we will not have that kind of relationship."
"Give me a chance, okay? I'll give you what you want, whatever you like."
Fan Chengyu couldn't hold back anymore, her patience had reached its limit, "Mr. Lu Yuwei, I don't know if I should say something." She didn't wait for Lu Yuwei's response, and said directly: "She has refused enough. It's clear, you don't need to insist anymore. It may seem sincere to you, but in fact, girls will find it very troublesome."
Lu Yuwei raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Miss Fan seems to understand."
Fan Chengyu also raised his eyebrows, with a similar tone: "Just tell the truth, if a girl likes you, she will run towards you even if there are thousands of difficulties ahead. The melon that is twisted is not sweet."
Lu Yuwei's tone was sneering: "Miss Fan, it's all about persuading reconciliation and not discord, but you are persuading discord and not reconciliation. It's hard for me not to doubt your intentions if you're like this."
Jiang Xumiao squeezed Fan Chengyu's hand, and interjected, "Lu Yuwei, what do you mean?"
Lu Yuwei's tone softened immediately: "I'm sorry Miaomiao, I didn't mean that, I'm just your friend..."
Jiang Xumiao replied directly: "I don't allow you to call me a friend!"
"I..." Lu Yuwei was helpless, "I just want you to know me better."
Jiang Xumiao rubbed the center of her brows, her head ached to death, Lu Yuwei was still as persistent as before, she thought he had gone out to study for a few years, and could understand people's language, so what's the point of such an obvious refusal?
Jiang Xumiao took a deep breath and said, "Lu Yuwei, I will make it clear to you today, whether you work in City A or City H, please don't involve me. I know my mother likes you very much, but it doesn't matter. On behalf of my position, I have someone I like, someone I like very much, please don't interfere with my life, we can't. If you simply want to be friends with me, you can. But if you are looking for men and women As the relationship develops, I advise you not to waste your time."
Fan Chengyu looked sideways, looked out the window, and stopped talking.
Looking at the shadows of the trees retreating rapidly outside and the vehicles speeding past on the main road, Fan Chengyu's mood improved a lot, and the smile on the corner of his lips couldn't stop rising.
Maybe this is the sense of security.
