Return To 1998

In the middle of the night, Tongdao Xu was walking alone on the sidewalk on the side of the street, in the direction of Wu Yali's home.

His expression was calm, but his brows were slightly wrinkled. He held a cigarette between his fingers and snorted from time to time. About two hours ago, he went to Xi Dongyang's house.

I didn't see Xi Xiaoqian, only Xi Dongyang's grandfather and grandmother.

The two elderly people were very anxious and restless at home. The two elderly people already knew the news that Xi Dongyang was seriously injured and sent to the city hospital.

When Tongdao Xu was talking to them, he heard that Xi Xiaoqian took money to the city hospital overnight, so there were only two elderly people at home tonight.

Xu Tongdao was not very good at comforting people, but seeing the two old men with gray hair, still so worried and frightened, he tried his best to say some comforting words.

Before leaving, he left a thousand yuan and said to the two old people, If you need any help, when Xiaoqian comes back, let her find me! If I can help, I will do my best!

He still had compassion after all.

He thought that the difficult life before his rebirth had already made his heart cold and hard, but seeing the state of Xi Dongyang's grandfather and grandmother tonight, he found that his heart was not so hard.

When he got home, he was already in bed.

But he went to bed for a long time, but he never fell asleep.

Xu Tonglin, who slept in the same bed as him, snored a long time ago, but Xu Tongdao didn't feel sleepy at all, and then he got up and put on his clothes, and now he was walking alone on the street late at night, walking towards Wu Yali's house. figure.

He couldn't explain why he just wanted to go to her in the middle of the night.

Purely for her body?

Or do you want to go to her to find some spiritual comfort?

He couldn't tell.

He only knew that he wanted to see her at this time and wanted to do something with her.

Dong dong!

Instead of knocking on the door, he knocked on the window glass of her bedroom on the first floor. He knocked twice, but there was no movement inside, and he knocked twice.

Who is it?

Wu Yali's vigilant question came from the room.

I!

Xu Tongdao responded.

There was no response from the room, but Tongdao Xu heard the sound of her getting out of bed and the sound of slippers rubbing against the concrete floor.

He threw the cigarette butt in his hand, crushed it with his foot, coughed lightly, and walked to the gate to wait.

While waiting, a spell flashed in his mind - Open Sesame.

Then the door opened.

Wu Yali wearing a lake green pajamas appeared in front of him, frowning slightly, her eyes puzzled, Xiaodao? Why are you here so late?

Tongdao Xu didn't speak, went in directly, closed the door for her, raised her head slightly to indicate to the stairs, and walked to the stairs by himself.

Wu Yali probably understood, she hesitated slightly and followed behind him.

Although the two had not known each other for a long time, there was a tacit understanding at this time, and they came to the leaky room on the second floor one after the other.

Tongdao Xu silently spread out and laid the quilt on the bed. When he laid the quilt and turned to look at Wu Yali, he saw her blushing, standing there biting her lip slightly, two white jade-like hands twisted. together.

Or... you should go back! We, it's not good for us...

She said softly, hesitantly, not very firm.

Tongdao Xu still didn't say anything, walked over with a slight frown, walked in front of her, reached out and hugged her head and kissed her on the lips.

At this moment, silence is better than sound, and she did not push him away.

...

You have something on your mind?

Sweaty, Wu Yali, who was lying on the bed side by side with Xu Tongdao, looked at Xu Tongdao, whose brows were still slightly wrinkled, and asked softly.

Xu Tongdao shook his head slightly.

He couldn't tell what was bothering him.

I just feel unhappy,

A little stuffy.

You're talking less.

Wu Yali said again.

Tongdao Xu glanced at her and knew that she was right. Since the last time he had a good time with her, he had less words in front of her.

It should be because of the many obstacles between them and the changes in their relationship that he always didn't know what to say to her.

Ask her if she is happy?

He couldn't ask.

How is she doing recently? He felt that there was no need to ask, because her life was very regular and boring. Apart from taking care of children and doing housework every day, she just had to eat and sleep. Such a regular and boring life did not even change, so what was there to ask?

Flirt with her? Talk about their future?

He thinks it's too fake, there are too many uncertainties between them, and they both know each other very well that they can sleep together, not because of love, so they are in love, who are they deceiving?

But since she was interested in chatting with him at this time, Tongdao Xu felt that she should cooperate.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked: You live with Ya Ya alone, are you in a hurry? Do you have a source of income? Do you want to go to work?

Wu Yali was a little surprised.

He smiled and said, It's okay! I'm not short of money, but... I'm really annoyed with taking children at home every day. I feel like I'm about to get out of touch with this society, and sometimes I really think about it. Going out and looking for a job might make my life a little more enjoyable, what? Why did you suddenly ask me this question?

Tongdao Xu nodded slightly and believed her words.

Because she usually has a mobile phone, and she can use a mobile phone these days, she is generally not short of money.

It's nothing, since you're not short of money, just pretend I didn't say anything.

Tongdao Xu wanted to bring this topic to light.

But when Wu Yali heard what he said, she suddenly became interested. She climbed to his chest and asked, Huh? What do you mean? What did you want to say to me?

Before Xu Tongdao could answer, her eyes lit up slightly, and she asked again, Do you have any job you want to introduce to me? What job? Tell me about it! Tell me!

Tongdao Xu was a little helpless, Don't ask if you're not short of money!

Wu Yali: No! I want to hear it, tell me now! Tell me now!

Tongdao Xu was afraid that she would continue to ask questions, so he said, I just rented two stores recently, and I am going to open a small store. I was worried that you would have no income and living well, so I wanted to ask if you are interested in going to work, since you If you don’t lack money, then treat it as if I didn’t say it.”

Wu Yali didn't seem to hear his last sentence, and instead asked enthusiastically: Really? I heard from my mother that you rented a storefront. By the way, what job did you want me to do just now? Waiter? Or something else? ?

Cashier! It's to help collect money.

After speaking, Tongdao Xu smiled and said something joking, Of course, if you want to be a waiter or a dishwasher, it's fine!

Wu Yali rolled her eyes, and the smile on her face gradually widened, The cashier is not bad! I'm not tired, I'm still free, I can really do this work, or would you let me think about it for two days? After I think about it, I will I'll tell you whether I do it or not.

Xu Tongdao hummed.

He originally wanted to help her earn some money, and he really felt that having a beautiful woman like her as a cashier in his store would improve the image of his store and should attract more diners.

Killing two birds with one stone.
