When Chen Xu woke up, it was almost dark, and his headache was relieved, but his mouth was very dry.I got up and wanted to drink water, but as soon as I sat up, I saw a cup on the bedside cabinet with a note pressed under it.

 He took out the note and looked at it with a little light coming in from the window, "This is the water soaked in sour plums that grandma prepared for you. It is said to be good for hangovers. Remember to drink it when you wake up."

 With a smile on his face, he put the note into his pocket, picked up the cup, it was still warm, drank it all in one gulp, and immediately felt much better.

 Putting the cup away, he got up and opened the door and went out.

 There were no lights and no one outside.When I went down the stairs, there was no one in the living room on the first floor, only a small night light was on.

 This house was jointly built by two uncles a few years ago. It is very newly decorated and is no worse than houses in the city.It's just that grandma is used to being frugal, and she often doesn't want to turn on the lights.

 There was a conversation from the kitchen. He walked over and saw that everyone was in the kitchen. Yang Jinxia and grandma were sitting at a low table, choosing dishes.There was also the third aunt standing in front of the stove cooking.

 "You're awake." Yang Jinxia saw him and asked, "Does your head still hurt?"

 "It's much better. Thank you for the sour plum water." Chen Xu said, and called "Third Aunt."

 Aunt San laughed and said, "You're a thief. You kept quiet and made such a beautiful girlfriend. Even your mother didn't tell it, so she secretly brought it back for your grandma to see."

 As soon as Chen Xu heard it, she knew it was over. She must have already called her mother.At night, my mother would definitely call and ask, but he didn't know how to explain.

 Drinking is really a mistake. If he wasn't drunk, how could he be so reckless and bring Yang Jinxia to grandma.

 Yang Jinxia who was on the side explained, "Aunt San, you misunderstood. In fact, we are not in that kind of relationship."

 "Really?" The third aunt looked at the two of them with ambiguous eyes, smiled and said nothing.

 Chen Xu can only think in a good direction. With her explanation, there is at least one reason to shirk with his mother.

 After a while, the meal was ready and brought to the dining table in the living room.

 Chen Xu turned on the light, turned off the night light, and started to arrange the dishes.

 After everyone was seated, Aunt San took out a glass bottle from under the TV cabinet and asked Yang Jinxia, ​​"Do you want some rice wine? It's made by Grandma Chen Xu. It's specially made for confinement women. I secretly kept two bottles." .”

 Yang Jinxia said, "I can't drink too much alcohol."

 "The alcohol content is very low, I'll pour a little, you have a try." The third aunt took out a small cup and poured her a small cup.

 Yang Jinxia picked it up and tasted it, only to find the taste soft, and immediately fell in love with it, saying, "It's sweet and delicious."

 Chen Xu reminded her, "Don't drink too much. Although the alcohol content is not high, it has quite a strong stamina."

 The third aunt asked him, "Do you want some?"

 "No need." Chen Xu shook his head. He drank too much wine today, and now he feels like throwing up when he smells the wine.

 The four of them chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very warm.Grandma seemed very happy, and frequently brought food to Chen Xu, asking him to eat more.

 Before the meal was finished, Chen Xu's mother called. He put down his chopsticks and walked outside with his mobile phone before answering.

 On the phone, his mother kept asking about Yang Jinxia's affairs, and he spent a lot of talking and finally managed to deal with it.By the way, the repeated fights made my mother cancel the blind date after the year.

 After hanging up the phone, he felt that he was so witty.

 When I go home next year, I just make up an excuse and say that they have broken up, and the matter is over.

 When he returned to the house, they had already finished eating, and the food was left for him.He sat down and continued eating, finishing the rest of the dish.Then, take all the dishes to the kitchen.

 When he came out after washing the dishes, he heard Yang Jinxia's coquettish laughter and asked, "What are you talking about, so happy?"

 Grandma smiled and said, "I was looking at your childhood photos."

 Seeing that Yang Jinxia was holding an old-fashioned photo album in his hand, Chen Xu couldn't help feeling a little toothache. In that photo album, there were photos of him before he was seven years old, and there were many black histories in it.

 He said helplessly, "What's so interesting about this."

 "It's beautiful." Yang Jinxia's voice was a little sweeter than usual.

 Chen Xu felt something was wrong, looked carefully, and saw that her fair face was stained with a layer of blush, her eyes seemed to be full of water, and the smile on her face was obviously drunk.

 He asked, "How much did you drink?"

 "Not much."

 Yep, it looks like he's really drunk.

 "Okay, I'll take you up to rest." Chen Xu took the photo album in her hand, and saw that on the opened page, it was the one he was wearing in crotch pants when he was three years old.

 He closed the album, put it on the table, and pulled her to stand up.

 After she got up, she stood a little unsteadily and looked a little dizzy, and said, "Grandma, third aunt, good night."

 "Well, you guys should go to bed early too." Grandma smiled happily.

 The third aunt reminded, "Chen Xu, take good care of her, you know."

 Chen Xu pretended not to hear, and helped her up the stairs. After walking a few steps, her strength became weaker and weaker, and her whole weight was on him.It's not easy to use force like this, so he simply hugged her horizontally.

 Going upstairs, he carried her to the room where he slept in the afternoon, put her on the bed, and said, "The conditions here are relatively simple, you will just rest for one night."

 When you're done, leave.

 "Don't go." Yang Jinxia held him back, her voice soft and coquettish, "It's dark here."

 He said, "Then I'll turn on the light."

 This is a rural area, and there are no street lights on the roads outside. At night, if the lights are not turned on, it will be dark everywhere.And it was very quiet, only a faint chirping sound could be heard.

 "No, I want you to talk with me." She took his hand and pressed it to her face.

 Chen Xu felt his tentacles were soft and hot, and said softly, "You're drunk." He stretched out his other hand and turned on the night light on the bedside. The faint white light added a bit of haze to the room. atmosphere of.

 Her soft hair was naturally scattered on the pillow, revealing a smooth forehead, and there seemed to be a layer of water in those eyes, and under the dim light, there was a light that he had never seen before.

 His heart suddenly tightened.

 "Go to sleep."

 After a while, he said softly, rubbing his thumb lightly on her face.

 "I'm afraid." She closed her eyes and whispered.

 Chen Xu's voice was soft, coaxing her, "It's okay, I'm right here."

 She murmured, "Promise me that you will always be by my side."

 Chen Xu really wanted to say "yes", but this word seemed to weigh a thousand catties, so he couldn't say it.

 In the silence, she said as if she was dreaming, "I was once trapped in a cave. It was dark, cold, and quiet. I thought I was dead. Later, it was my grandma who woke me up. I I just realized that I'm still alive."

 "After that time, I couldn't stay in a place that was too dark. If it was too quiet and there was no one around, I would think I was dead. My grandma was very worried. She was afraid that one day I would fall asleep and never wake up again. Come on, wake me up every day. After she fell ill, she hired someone to wake me up."

 Her tone was calm, as if she was talking about someone else's business.Chen Xu listened, his heart felt like a stone was on it, it was very heavy.He finally knew what happened to her that time in the dream.

 In the room, her murmuring voice continued to sound, "Until three months ago, I had a dream. I dreamed of a man. When I woke up, I didn't need anyone to wake me up. I know, it must be Because of the person in the dream, I have a reason to survive."

 "When I first met you, I had a feeling that you were him."

 When Chen Xu heard this, his heart tightened, he bent down and hugged her tightly.

 At some point, she had opened her eyes again, pressed her right hand to the heart of his chest, felt the strong heartbeat, and said quietly, "I know, we are not in the same world. I don't know when we will be separated .I just hope that, here, there will always be my place..."

 Chen Xu covered her mouth, "Stop talking."

Chapter 129 Stew it

 Chen Xu felt his nose itchy, so he woke up, opened his eyes, and saw Yang Jinxia laying on his chest, holding a lock of hair, teasing his nose.

 Seeing him wake up, she let go of her hand and said with a smile, "Are you awake?"

 That smiling face made Chen Xu lose his mind.

 He reached out and rubbed his itchy nose to relieve the embarrassment.Soon, what happened last night resurfaced in my mind.

 His eyes softened and he asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

 "not good at all."

 Yang Jinxia's face was serious, and he said, "You actually just hugged me and slept all night like this, don't tell me I'm not attractive to you at all?"

 Chen Xu felt that his nose was itchy again, so he resisted rubbing his nose, and said with embarrassment, "My grandma sleeps next door."

 "Is there anything she hasn't seen?" Yang Jinxia snorted and sat up, "It's all an excuse."

 Chen Xu also wanted to sit up, but when he moved, he realized that his right hand had completely lost feeling and could not be controlled at all.

 Last night, he held her in his right hand and was pressed all night, so it's no wonder that she didn't feel numb.

 "What's the matter?" Yang Jinxia got out of bed, found a rubber band, tied up his hair, turned around, saw him turned sideways, and was pinching his right arm, and asked.

 Chen Xu resisted the tingling feeling and said, "It's numb."

 "Deserving it."

 As she said that, she climbed up again, and gently pinched the muscles of his arm. Seeing his frowning from time to time, it was obviously uncomfortable.He couldn't help saying, "Don't you know how to pull your hand out?"

 Chen Xu smiled, but did not speak.

 "Oh, you really don't understand a little bit of fun." She sighed, "Can't you say something nice to me, you are obviously afraid of waking me up."

 Chen Xu slowly withdrew his hand back, Yang Jinxia was slightly taken aback, and heard him say in a low tone, "In what capacity do you want me to stay by your side all the time?"

 Her eyes changed from surprise to calm, and she looked at him.

 In the silence for a while, the atmosphere gradually became stiff.

 Finally, Yang Jinxia moved his mouth and spoke, "You..."

 dong dong...

 A knock on the door interrupted her.Grandma's voice came in, "Xiao Xu, come out for breakfast."

 In an instant, the tense atmosphere was interrupted.

 Chen Xu felt a sense of relief, and then found that Yang Jinxia's expression had also obviously relaxed, and he didn't know what it was like, so he replied, "Here we come."

 After going downstairs, the two tacitly did not mention what happened just now.

 Grandma prepared new toothbrushes and towels for them, because there are no small shops in the village now, and it is very inconvenient to go to the town to buy things, so these daily necessities are kept all year round.Somebody can use it when they get home.

 Chen Xu took the toothbrush and towel washbasin and went outside to wash, leaving the bathroom to Yang Jinxia.

 When he came back from the shower, the bathroom door was still closed.It always takes a little longer for a woman to wash.

 When he returned to the living room, he saw the ambiguous smile on Auntie San's face, knowing that he would not be able to wash it off even if he jumped into the river this time, so he just pretended not to see it.

 At this time, the sky is already bright, and the time is 06:30.

 This time, for the first time, his biological clock failed and he overslept.

 After a while, Yang Jinxia finished washing, and when he came over, he had already changed his clothes, and greeted him first when he entered the door, "Morning, grandma, morning, third aunt."

 "Morning. Come, sit down and have breakfast." Grandma greeted her with a smile.

 For breakfast, I ate porridge, fried vegetables, eggs, a bowl of pickles and a plate of salted and crispy peanuts.

 While eating, Chen Xu asked her, "Are you going back to the company today?"

 "No, I asked for leave just now." Yang Jinxia said, "It's rare to come here, I want to play here for a day."

 "Well, after dinner, I'll take you to the town for a stroll." Chen Xu still remembered how interested she was in the lively market yesterday.

 "Okay."

 After breakfast, Chen Xu drove her out. Before leaving, the third aunt asked him to buy some food, and he agreed without hesitation.

 This town is bigger than Liu Xiaoshang's.In fact, when Chen Xu was in elementary school, there was no concept of going to the market here. It was also at that time that young people here flocked to big cities to earn money.

 Even so, it is still a relatively lively street centered on the old supply and marketing cooperative. There are only two or three supermarkets opened.There are many more small wholesale departments.

 When they arrived, the street was already very lively.There are couplets, New Year stickers, incense paper candles, and various small vendors fill the whole street.

 After Chen Xu parked the car, the two walked to the street.

 At the intersection, there is a stall selling pork, using a motorcycle with a wooden platform fixed on the back seat.In this way, the middle of the road was occupied.

 The butcher was a middle-aged man, and his right index finger was missing. Seeing him looking over, he picked up the knife and asked, "Boss, do you want meat?"

 Chen Xu shook his head decisively and continued walking forward.

 After walking a certain distance, Yang Jinxia asked in a low voice, "That pork seller just now was so fierce. When you shook your head, I was afraid that he would come over with a knife."

 Chen Xu couldn't help laughing, and said, "No one would do business like that. However, these people are really not easy to mess with. I heard from the villagers before that the pork sellers in the town were monopolized by more than a dozen companies. Last year there were other People from the town came to sell it, they beat them up, and things got quite big."

 Yang Jinxia said, "I just feel that these people are very evil."

 The two walked over one by one, and the voices of peddlers came one after another. There were kitchen knives sellers, medicinal oil sellers, electric frying pan sellers, and caterpillar fungus flower sellers.
