why do you like me

031 Misfire

There was a thunderstorm in the afternoon that day, crackling and pounding the roof tiles.Jiang Chuan took the book Cheng Jing was holding and urged the boy to take a nap.

After learning about Cheng Jing's situation at the hospital, Jiang Chuan was particularly concerned about Cheng Jing's sleeping condition.But Cheng Jing is a person who doesn't sleep much, and rarely takes a nap.When he can't sleep, he won't force himself to lie down, and is used to finding something to do.The book he planned to read was snatched away by Jiang Chuan, and he turned out the Kindle expressionlessly. Jiang Chuan smiled angrily: "You mean to be against me, right?"

Jiang Chuan snatched Cheng Jing's entire backpack, rushed to hug Cheng Jing, didn't feel that he was a shameful hooligan at all, and said half-threateningly: "Be good, go upstairs by yourself, or I will hug you. "

Touching the itchy flesh, Cheng Jing huddled on the sofa and couldn't help laughing, the corners of his eyes were red from laughing, and said, "I really can't sleep."

Jiang Chuan didn't care about it, put one arm around Cheng Jing's waist, and stretched the other arm under Cheng Jing's knees, raised his eyes to look at Cheng Jing, and said, "The countdown is three to two one, if I don't get up by myself, I will really Hug, three..."

Cheng Jing turned his face sideways, looked at Jiang Chuan from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly stretched out two arms around Jiang Chuan's neck, half of his body was suspended in the air. This unexpected move only made Jiang Chuan subconsciously lift it up, and it really put Cheng Jing hugged her in her arms.

A heart suddenly became very soft, Jiang Chuan carried Cheng Jing and walked upstairs.Cheng Jing didn't make a fuss, quietly huddled in Jiang Chuan's arms, and suddenly laughed again.After entering the room, Jiang Chuan put the boy on the bed, and then pressed half of his body over it.

He took a breath, looked at Cheng Jing who was still smiling under him, gently brushed Cheng Jing's hair, and lowered his voice: "Sleep for a while, Cheng Jing, I only slept for four hours at night, and I will sleep at noon." Sleep for an hour, I will feel at ease if you sleep a little longer."

Cheng Jing stopped laughing, and reached out to drag the quilt.Jiang Chuan covered his waist with the quilt and said, "Shall I get you melatonin?"

"Farewell." Cheng Jing grabbed Jiang Chuan's wrist, "I can only sleep for a while, and I have to wake up before two o'clock, otherwise I won't be able to sleep again at night."

"What do you say about your work and rest!" Jiang Chuan was so angry that his teeth itch, "Can't you be like us ordinary people, eat more, sleep more and raise more meat?"

Cheng Jing laughed again: "You are not an ordinary person, you are a pig."

The sound of the rain was too loud, and even with the windows closed and the curtains drawn tight, the menacing sound of raindrops could still be heard.Jiang Chuan helped Cheng Jing put on earplugs and an eye mask, sat on the bedside and said, "Sleep well, I will wait for you to fall asleep before going down to do the test papers, I won't lie to you."

Still a little worried, she leaned over into Cheng Jing's ear and said, "If you really can't help yourself to think about things, then think about me, keep thinking about me, I won't make you sad, no."

Cheng Jing didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

Jiang Chuan couldn't sit still, and waited patiently for Cheng Jing to fall asleep.Cheng Jing, who was not asleep, was very appropriate in terms of body posture and arrangement of limbs.But when he was asleep, he would slowly curl up on his side and return to that comfortable baby-like position.

This state cannot be pretended, and Jiang Chuan is not worried that Cheng Jing will lie to him at all.He just sat quietly by the bed, watching Cheng Jing who was trying to fall asleep.Not daring to move, I muttered in my heart, I don't know where the lullaby is, and then secretly laughed silently.If it wasn't for his singing being out of tune, he really wanted to sing it to coax Cheng Jing.

When Cheng Jing finally fell asleep, Jiang Chuan got up slowly and went downstairs lightly.

The rain had stopped, and a refreshing wind blew in from the window by the stairs.Jiang Chuan finally let go of his movements, and went to the living room humming softly, when he suddenly smelled a strong smell of gasoline.

No one in the whole street has a yard. When there are people at home, the door is always open, and at most a curtain is hung.Jiang Chuan's house was for Jiang Xing's convenience. Jin Min and Jiang Xing slept downstairs, the windows were covered with iron frames, and a gauze door was installed outside the main gate to keep out mosquitoes in summer, so that outsiders could not come in and out casually.

The screen door was open at the moment, and some rainwater splashed in from the inside of the low threshold.The smell of gasoline was so strong that Jiang Chuan wasn't sure where it was coming from.

Apart from the living room, downstairs is the bedroom and bathroom of Jin Min's mother and daughter. Jiang Chuan glanced at the bathroom, and finally walked slowly towards the bedroom.

As soon as he opened the door and went in, there was a bang behind him, and the door was closed.Jiang Chuan turned his head and saw Jiang Guodong.

Jiang Guodong still looked wretched, and even the clothes on his body were the same as the one he saw last time.He was holding a 1.5L Coke bottle in his hand, half filled with yellow liquid, without a cap, and smelled strongly of gasoline. With a smile, Jiang Chuan held a lighter in his hand.

Jiang Chuan laughed back in anger, and stood at the door of the bedroom without moving, the scars on his eyelids standing straight up.The corners of his eyes were tense: "What are you going to do? Burn down the house? Do I care about this broken house?"

Jiang Guodong has done all kinds of bad things, but he is not a kind person. He has always been particularly afraid of death, even if he is willing to live like a mouse.Leaning against the closed door, his face was sallow and ugly, as if he had seen through Jiang Chuan's calmness, he showed his yellow and black teeth and said, "Chuan, Chuanzi...this is really gasoline...I took it...a whole A bottle..."

Not knowing where it was stolen from, Jiang Chuan frowned slightly, thinking about where Jiang Guodong spilled the other half bottle of gasoline.

Jiang Guodong still had that ridiculous smile, moved his arms slowly, pointed to the wall in the corner, and said with a smile: "There is something wrong with the switch."

"Hold!"

Basically every household here has a tendency of circuit aging, and it is easy to get damp in summer. Coupled with insufficient voltage, short circuits often occur.The air conditioner in the house was still on, Jiang Guodong didn't want to burn the house down, it could blow up the whole street.

Jiang Chuan went over to check the switch, Jiang Guodong didn't move, he still leaned against the closed door, grinning and said: "Chuan, Chuanzi... Dad can't help it... You have become more and more capable in the past two years, your mother Put all the money on your side... just give me a little... Dad just needs a little..."

Jiang Chuan squinted at him.If you really just need "a little" money, why do such a heinous thing as flooding the circuit with gasoline?

Jiang Chuan was about to open the window, but Jiang Guodong kept staring at him, and said, "Chuan, Chuanzi, don't move anymore...just give me some money...I just need some..."

"No!" Jiang Chuan roared, realizing that Cheng Jing was still asleep upstairs, and immediately suppressed his anger.He didn't dare to touch the electric switch, so he turned off the air conditioner downstairs, gave Jiang Guodong a hard look, and said, "How much do you want?"

Jiang Guodong instantly showed an ecstatic expression, and said, "Not much... really not much...give me 50..."

"Bah!" Jiang Chuan wished he could just pick up his stool and smash the scum to death, "Who in this family do you think can give you 50 yuan?"

Jiang Guodong said: "Chuan, Chuanzi...you took the one hundred thousand...you didn't tell your mother...she definitely wouldn't want it...give it to me...I saw it in the hospital a few days ago You... You are quite rich... Chizi is so kind, he led you to make money..."

"Do you have the face to carry the pool?" Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes, "Don't force me to kill you, old bastard, open the door and get out!"

Jiang Guodong was only in his early forties, but he looked extremely sick and old, as if all the blood in his body had been sucked dry by something.He suddenly wailed, and said at the top of his voice, "Chuanzi, Dad has nothing to do... Dad owes too much debt..."

"Did you still owe less money for all these years!"

Jiang Chuan's face was full of disgust, but this disgust could not make Jiang Guodong realize that it was aimed at him.He stopped howling, his eyes sparkled as if thinking of something, and he said: "Chuan, Chuanzi...then you can help Dad...you have never lost...you can win a lot of money in a few days... ...Help Dad...Ah..."

"You old bastard, you have the face to mention!" Jiang Chuan yelled violently, taking advantage of Jiang Guodong's inattention, rushed to pinch his wrist, and directly knocked out the lighter.

Jiang Guodong had no strength to fight back, his arm was twisted into twists by Jiang Chuan from behind.He was in pain, but there was still a sad smile on his face.That nasty smile is disgusting, I don't feel pitiful, I just want to stretch out my hand and tear it off my face.

Jiang Chuan gave a disgusting sip, and said: "Old bastard, listen clearly, I haven't settled with you for sending me to jail, I will give you one last chance today, go out by yourself, don't come again, don't go looking My mother, otherwise I will send you to the police station. Taking drugs, gambling, killing Chizi's father... that's all, how long do you think you can live, old bastard?"

Jiang Guodong didn't seem to feel the threat in Jiang Chuan's words, so he said with a smile: "I, Chizi...you two little beasts set fire to death... Chuanzi, I'm going in, and you two little beasts are going in too Yes...your mother will cry...you don't want her to cry...please give me the money...help me get some money..."

"Hold!"

Jiang Chuan's subordinates were ruthless, and Jiang Guodong screamed immediately.

He knew that Jiang Guodong was an asshole, but he didn't expect to be such an asshole now.He has never been able to fight, and every time he rolls around and kneels down to beg for mercy, so cowardly that no one will look down on him, but he has reached such a field step by step.

Memories of the past ten years rushed into his mind, Jiang Chuan was angry, he raised his foot and kicked Jiang Guodong's knee hard, Jiang Guodong knelt down on the ground in an instant, but he was still holding the half bottle of gasoline tightly, ignoring the splash.

Jiang Chuan turned to open the door, Jiang Guodong threw himself on the ground and stretched out a hand to grab Jiang Chuan's calf.Jiang Chuan kicked hard again, causing Jiang Guodong to fall to the ground instead, splashing, gasoline covered the ground, soaking Jiang Guodong's stinky clothes.

"Chuan, Chuanzi..."

"Don't die here!" Jiang Chuan opened the door, but the screen door outside was still closed.There was only an iron zipper on the inner side of the screen door. Jiang Chuan reached out to pull it, but heard a bang behind him.

When he turned his head, Jiang Guodong rushed over with his whole body on fire.

"Hold!"

Before he had time to open the zipper, Jiang Chuan kicked the screen door open.As soon as one foot stepped out, Jiang Guodong rushed over and hugged him.

Xia Tian's clothes were thin and close-fitting, and they burned very quickly when they caught fire, not to mention that Jiang Guodong was still stained with gasoline.It had just rained, the ground was still wet, and there was no dust that could be used to put out the fire.The posture of Jiang Guodong's death was too sudden, Jiang Chuan had no time to push away, grabbed the old beast's arm and rolled directly into the river next to him.

Jiang Chuan didn't have gasoline on him, so after falling into the river and kicking Jiang Guodong away, he floated up and swam to the shore immediately.The living room was already on fire, and he yelled "Come and put out the fire" and was about to rush in.But the fire was burning right at the door, and the flames gradually licked in. Jiang Chuan turned his head and ran towards the street, rushed into a house that was repairing the kitchen, picked up a bag of cement and ran away.

Someone nearby was busy looking for a water pipe, and Jiang Chuan shouted: "Don't stop! It's gasoline on fire!"

The mouth of the cement bag was open. Jiang Chuan ran to the door and let go of the bag, throwing the whole bag of cement into the fire.He shouted at the onlookers: "Jiang Guodong, that old bastard, quickly fish it up from the river, he set the fire!"

"Cheng Jing, get up!" Jiang Chuan stepped on the cement and rushed to the second floor, opened the door and broke into the bedroom.

The air conditioner was turned off and the bed was empty.

……Hold.

Jiang Chuan turned his head and went downstairs.
