Rebirth of the ugly girl

Chapter 35 Doubt

In the dark, it seemed that even God was helping Shen Ting. They had already gone out after eating, when Fang Kelu received a call.

She talked for a while, and when she hung up the phone, she looked very bad, "The school teacher has something to do with me, I have to go to school, you go and play."

Hongxi didn't say anything, and told her to come over after finishing her work. After speaking, she left Fang's house with Shen Ting.

In the car, Shen Ting searched for the location of Hong's villa in the information, and found that Hong Xi had deviated from the route in the car, she seemed to inadvertently said: "I suddenly remembered to go to my classmate's house to pick up things, if you don't mind , can you take me there?"

"I thought there was no need for you to be so polite based on our relationship." Hong Xi glanced at her and asked briefly, "Address?"

Shen Ting reported a section of the road. As soon as she finished speaking, she obviously felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little stiff.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Hongxi's hand tightly holding the turntable, and Shen Ting's heart skipped a beat. She just reported a section of the road, and didn't directly report the address of the villa. Isn't Hongxi's reaction a bit too much?

No matter how many sad memories there are in that family, there's no need to be so repulsive, after all, it's a family I've lived in for a long time.

Shen Ting faintly felt that Hongxi's reaction was a little abnormal, but she had already said what she said, and if she changed her words again, Hongxi would definitely be suspicious, so she had to sit entangled, pretending not to notice Hongxi's slightly changed expression.

When Hongxi suddenly heard Shen Ting talking about that section of the road, his whole body tensed up subconsciously, and a gap was pried open in his long-lost memory. He endured it desperately so as not to show his gaffe in front of Shen Ting.

Over the years, Hong Xi tried not to think about the past, he cowardly sealed up those bloody pictures, he even tried to walk around the former home as much as possible, just to hide his grief, if he doesn't think about it, he won't goug out. My heart hurts.

But Shen Ting's few words reminded him of the past.

Hongxi still remembers that when he was a child, his aunt often took him to a snack bar on that street to buy snacks. Every time the neighbor's grandma saw him, she would give him an apple and orange with a kind smile.

The little grandson of her family is a greedy and honest little fat man. He would come to his grandparents' house every summer. The two little boys of similar age would often do strange things behind their backs, such as catching cicadas and playing tricks on the plants growing in the yard. Beautiful and cute girl...

Hongxi closed his eyes, pulled back the thoughts of going further and further away, started the car and drove to the place Shen Ting said, but it was nearby, and he could barely accept it.

The car soon arrived at the destination, and Shen Ting looked at the stretch of villas outside the window, hesitating between whether to go or not.

She had to find someone to start the topic without being obtrusive, before Hong Xi could find out, she wasn't sure if he would be angry, after all, this was his private matter, come on.

Shen Ting thought about it just now, and felt that her plan was too abrupt and self-righteous.

She didn't consider Hongxi's mood at all, because she personally doesn't like others prying into her privacy, let alone this kind of thing that he has been hiding very deeply.

Shen Ting figured it out, but she couldn't help hesitating in the current situation, Hong Xi turned to her and asked, "Where is your classmate's home?"

Shen Ting finally knows what it's like to ride a tiger, and now, she can only follow the plan.

This is a gamble. If she wins the bet, her strategy mission is completed, and Hongxi will untie her knot; if the bet is lost, the mission fails, and Hongxi hates her.

50.00%, a [-]/[-] chance, if it wasn't for having no other choice, Shen Ting really wouldn't want to bet.

"Her house is in the villa in front." Shen Ting didn't dare to look at Hongxi's expression, she lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "It seems to be six buildings in the second row." The former villa of Hong's family is next door.

The expression on Hong Xi's face was completely frozen, his fingers curled up, his knuckles turned white, and he wanted to turn the car around and leave almost immediately, but reason told him that he couldn't do that, and Shen Ting was still waiting for his answer.

Stiffly pulling out an ugly smile, Hong Xi's voice became a little hoarse: "I'll get out of the car to buy a pack of cigarettes, you can go get it yourself, I'll wait for you here."

What Shen Ting wanted was for him not to follow, so she gave a low hum and opened the door to get out of the car.

Hong Xi watched Shen Ting walking away, took out a cigarette with trembling hands, put it to his mouth, and took a deep puff, the choking smoke entered the internal organs, instantly suppressing all negative emotions.

Hong Xi heaved a sigh of relief, his chaotic mind gradually became clear, he raised his eyes, watched Shen Ting turn into the villa, and suddenly realized that he had neglected some important things.

Why did Shen Ting come to a classmate's house to pick up things at this time, and the things were urgent?Do I have to take it today?
Why didn't she tell him the address of the villa directly, but the name of this road, to conceal what she wanted to hide?
Does she really have classmates living here?
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they can immediately break through the ground and germinate and grow into towering trees. Hong Xi's eyes are deep, he doesn't want to doubt Shen Ting, but he doesn't want to be calculated by others.

Picking up the phone, Hong Xi dialed a number, before he could speak, he said coldly: "Check something for me..."

Shen Ting walked into the villa, walked around a tree for a few times, made up the words that he would talk to Hongxi in an airtight manner, thought twice in his heart, lifted his foot to leave, and took out a pen from his pocket , and walked out of the villa.

When Shen Ting opened the car door and walked in, he smelled a smell of smoke, which was very light, but since Shen Ting bound Venus 001, his five senses were much more sensitive than normal people.

The hand holding the pen rubbed the body of the pen, Shen Ting felt a bad premonition for some reason.

Hong Xi looked at her as if nothing had happened, and asked, "Just take a pen?"

Shen Ting couldn't explain why she was feeling flustered and uncomfortable. She said absently what she had just made up: "A friend who used to play very well is going to move. She wrote this pen for several years and gave it to me. I hope that in the future I will be afraid. You can look at her when you miss her."

Hongxi's expression turned cold, and he started the car without saying a word, not noticing that Shen Ting's seat belt was only half fastened.

On the way, Shen Ting wanted to say the words several times, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

She was originally a delicate person, and what was wrong with Hong Xi made her not think too much, did he know something?
In the air-conditioned car, with the windows closed, Shen Ting panted carefully, and she felt the suffocation that day when Hong Xi came to pick her up at the school gate, no, it was a more dignified feeling than that day.

The car went all the way back, and Shen Ting was really sure that something was wrong. When Hong Xi drove the car towards Fang's house, she turned pale almost instantly.

Turning her head to look at Hong Xi's face, Shen Ting was [-]% sure that she had messed up the matter after noticing the coldness on his face.
