the one who lives in my body

To be honest, when such a low-key luxury car braked in the parking lot of my neighborhood, I felt a sense of pressure for no reason.

I didn't expect my mother to wait for us downstairs.

When the car door opened, she waved to this side from a distance.

Looking at her attire, I was a little confused. This famous brand is not like her everyday attire.

Is it because Xie Dongrong is coming?In an instant, my mind was full of thoughts, and my mother, of course, knew nothing about my doubts. She trotted over like a girl and warmly welcomed Xie Dongrong and Mr. Driver to my house.

Xie Dongrong's expression is quite normal, with alienation in his indifference, which is his usual way of dealing with strangers. Naturally, my mother can't see it. She seems to have been looking forward to Xie Dongrong's arrival for a long time, and Mr. Driver and Xie Dongrong naturally don't know each other. Will brush her face, even if Xie Dongrong's actions are somewhat inconvenient.

When my mother was leading the way, I quickly stepped forward and took the opportunity to inquire about the situation. The answer I finally got was that she was not all dressed up for Xie Dongrong.

My mother is a person who can't hide things. The "reason" that the princess didn't fully explain before, but now she told me in another way without any burden - she will go to the palace with the princess and the general's family, see On the side of the new king.

Obviously, compared with the reason for being received by the new king, she is more concerned about the fact of "being able to go to the palace" itself, which may become a new topic of conversation in her future communication, so her happiness is not in my opinion. incomprehensible.

However, what good could the Shen family do if they were summoned by the royal family?

My mother doesn't have any feelings of national hatred and family hatred. At best, she has a good attitude, but at worst, she has no roots.

But... In the end I decided not to remind my mother. Anyway, she was with the princess and his wife the day she entered the palace, so there must be no major problems. After all, the princess and her family can't just watch what the new king does to my mother.

This is Xie Dongrong's first visit to my residence.

The door is very narrow, and his wheelchair can barely squeeze through. I looked back at him and found that he was like a leopard cat entering the territory of other animals for the first time, carefully looking at everything in the room.

For a moment, I looked at him, but soon the eyes of each other quietly staggered.

I don't know what he thinks of my family, but I know that what he sees now is actually the "peak state" of my family.

It can be seen that in order to welcome the guests, my mother took a lot of effort to clean and decorate the room. Although it is not as bright and spacious as Namin, it can be regarded as warm.

My mother was busy, pouring tea and arranging fruits. I was embarrassed to make me lazy, so I could only follow behind her, and I could help her with whatever she did.

My mother kept saying to Xie Dongrong: "You two brothers should get along well." "Your elder brother Shu will take good care of you in the past two days." This kind of words made my hair stand on end. Fortunately, Xie Dongrong didn't say much about it. What to say, it can be said that he behaved quite obediently in front of my mother.

Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility that he doesn't want to talk to my mother at all.

I stared at Xie Dongrong silently, and accidentally saw the small rope hanging around his neck, almost unable to hold back, I raised the corners of my lips.

It was the "personal item" I gave to Xie Dongrong earlier, and it was another button. To be honest, I couldn't think of anything other than a button as my "personal item". At that time, Xie Dongrong was very reluctant to wear it, but now He hasn't even taken it off yet, so I don't know if it should be said to be gratifying.

Speaking of things hanging around my neck... my eyes can't help but turn to my mother.

Although it was hidden under the clothes, she could still be seen wearing a new necklace at the back of her neck.

And... squinting my eyes slightly, through the craftsmanship of the chain, I quickly judged that this is a handmade famous brand, and it must not be cheap.

In order to pay my tuition fees earlier, except for the bracelet left by her mother, she has already sold the rest of the jewelry to others.

This one is definitely new.

It stands to reason that a son shouldn't pay so much attention to his mother's jewelry, which is really rude, but inevitably, I thought of a possibility.

So while I was packing the dishes in the kitchen, I asked my mother, "Did that necklace be given to you by the person before?"

Yes, the surname is Ning, the head of the Ning family.The moment I said it, I remembered.

In an instant, my mother's face changed like a lion's antelope. Seeing her faltering, I knew I guessed it right, "How did you tell me that?" I asked her in a low voice.

Like a child who has done something wrong, my mother hurriedly explained: "No... I didn't think about asking for it at first, but when I go to the palace, what can I do without wearing a decent jewelry? This time, and send it back..."

Listening to my mother's explanation, I am almost the same as the head and two older.

In fact, if an ordinary decent man gave my mother a gift, I would also support it, but this person is obviously not simple, and he has a family. I can already imagine the terrible scene of my mother being pointed at by people in the celebrity circle, and If that Mrs. Ning went off to fight, there is no doubt that my mother would be at an absolute disadvantage.

The way to avoid danger is to stay away from danger. I have always followed this principle.

I can't leave a trace of my mother having an affair with that man in the outside world.

However, I also blame myself for my incompetence. It's just a necklace, but it makes our family feel like a big enemy. It's ridiculous to think about it.

"It's fine if you don't wear it. You can see that the princess is plain and indifferent when she attends formal occasions. She doesn't wear any jewelry." Although she is angry, she must not provoke her. I know this truth well.

Mom looked at me with a pale face, as if I was about to take away the most important thing in her life.

I reached out to her: "Give it to me, and I'll send it back. Although I don't know how you got involved with that man again, I hope you remember that sometimes rumors are enough to destroy a big family." , and now you are just an ant who has half-stepped into the circle of nobles and can be easily crushed to death by others."

I deliberately said it very strongly, I just hope my mother can understand what I mean.

"...I see." Fortunately, she finally agreed.

"That man..." I couldn't help reminding again.

"I know!" Mom raised her voice slightly, "I don't have any opinion on him, the necklace just happened to be sent over, and I just thought..." Mom seemed to be about to cry, but fortunately, her voice was still there. Not enough to startle the two people still sitting in the living room.

An old mother in her 30s started to cry pitifully in front of her son. I couldn't help but couldn't stand it anymore, I closed my eyes slightly, stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder, and reminded in a low voice: "Hey, control your emotions , there are guests at home!"

When we returned to the living room, my mother and I were as usual, and she greeted the guests cordially, as if nothing happened in the kitchen just now.

Around evening, the car sent by the princess to pick up my mother arrived, and Xie Dongrong and I were finally able to embark on the journey to Shen's house.

It is not appropriate to say "journey", because the destination is still in the capital city, but it is a little closer to the countryside.

Regarding the matter of "why the Shen family has people other than the two of us alive", my mother didn't have time to explain too much, she just said that someone would entertain me when I got there. I asked her who she was, and she said it was my uncle.

My uncle, her brother.

Isn't that the general who rebelled back then?Didn't he say he was executed long ago?I was puzzled in my heart. On the way, I thought about it before sending a message to my mother:

"Mom, how many uncles do I have?"

After more than ten minutes, my mother came back:

"There used to be two, now there is only one."

Across the screen, I seemed to feel certain emotions from my mother's heart. Putting down my brain, I turned my face and looked at Xie Dongrong who was sitting beside me.

From the time he arrived at my house, he was surprisingly silent, and since getting in the car this time, he has not said a word, just looked out the window in silence, as if thinking about something.

At this moment, the car has gradually moved away from the downtown area, and the tall buildings lined up have finally been peeled away from our eyes, gradually revealing the original color of the sky and the earth.

The environment in Naming is so good, Xie Dongrong won't be the first time to see this kind of scene and start to "yearn for nature".

Seemingly noticing my gaze, Xie Dongrong brushed his long hair behind his shoulders, and turned his face to stare at me.

It was clearly the same indifferent expression as before, but for no reason, I had an unprecedented taste, I don't know if it was because I was too lustful.

"...Actually, it's also my first time to go to my house... well, it's the Shen family, my uncle, I am also today, oh no, I just found out that there is such a person." Seeing him watching, I was nervous for no reason When I got up, I didn't know what he was thinking, I only knew that his eyes seemed to be the color of the sea and sky fused together.

Xie Dongrong said, "Is it a village?"

rural?

I don't know why he suddenly mentioned this word. Although I have seen it many times in textbooks and Internet information, the word country is actually a bit strange to me who grew up in the capital.

I have never traveled very far, nor have I ever left the capital.

Presumably Xie Dongrong is the same, no, rather, he is less than I have seen.

Sometimes I forget that he has only woken up for a few days.

"I don't know." This is my answer to Xie Dongrong, "I haven't been there either, it feels a bit novel."

Hearing this, Xie Dongrong snorted coldly as if he thought I was very ignorant.

I couldn't help asking knowingly, "Have you been there?"

Xie Dongrong stared at me again, then turned his head, and put all his eyes out of the car window:

"No." He muffled, he said.

So for the first time after a long absence, my relationship with Xie Dongrong fit together.

We all want to know what the Shen family is like far away from the capital.
