Lofty future

Yangcheng in June has entered the midsummer, with alternating high temperatures and heavy rains.

No. 16, Guxu Road, was surrounded by the police for several days to collect evidence. On the day the case was closed, it was severely washed away by a sudden rain.

I made an appointment with Xiang Rong through the agency left by Chi Xue, and the meeting place was set at a nearby cafe.Seats facing the window on the second floor, looking out, you can see Xiang Ting's room with half of the window burned.

The house is too old, the houses in this area are too old.The twilight is heavy and the vitality is scattered.If it weren't for the aura of historical style on the body, it might not be worth money.

"If it were me, I wouldn't buy it."

Zeng Yuhan sat across from me, tapped on the table with her fingers to play, looked from bottom to top, trying to make the mouth shape as clear as possible.

"What an old house with old feelings, there is a fart for it."

The lip language crash course provided by Jiajia is very useful. I followed the book and video for two days and it was quite effective. I can understand Zeng Yuhan's speech so accommodatingly.

After Chi Xue left, he followed me almost every step of the way for the past two days except sleeping at night.Although the conversation is not much, he has become very familiar with me unilaterally and speaks freely.

I looked at him thoughtfully, but didn't speak for a long time.

He seemed to be uncomfortable being watched by me, he pinched the cup and waved his hands, complaining a bit as if he couldn't stand it: "Oh, I know, he thinks you want it, it's so nasty..."

I never asked him how he felt about ending the relationship with Chi Xue. I used to think that they would not have more contact with each other, so there was no need to care about it.Things are different now.

I could feel that he stayed by my side like this, and was also an interpreter, not because Chi Xue told him to take care of me, but because he wanted to do so himself.

But why?No matter how you look at it, Chi Xue is not someone who has no weight in his heart, so he doesn't bother me at all?

"He wants to buy it back to please me, what about you?" I smiled and stared into his eyes, "You didn't want to listen to him, did you?"

Hearing that he put down the cup, his body stepped back, his eyes dropped to the table, but his chin was raised arrogantly.

"Of course I won't listen to him, he's just an ungrateful scumbag."

I couldn't hear the voice, and couldn't distinguish his tone of voice, but it must not be a sincere curse, because he didn't look angry at all, and he turned quickly after speaking.

"I have my purpose, and you will know when the time comes!"

It means not to speak now.This kid really has a good grasp of my character, and I'm confident that I won't get to the bottom of it.

After a while, he pointed behind me and asked, "Is that the person?"

I turned my head and saw a middle-aged man in shorts and slippers looking around at the stairs.I don't remember much about Xiang Rong's appearance, I only have a vague impression in my mind.

"It feels similar."

Zeng Yuhan got up, walked around the table and sat beside me.His movement caught the attention of the man at the door.

The other party hesitated for a moment, walked towards this side, put on an embarrassed gesture from a distance, and spoke to Zeng Yuhan.

Zeng Yuhan nodded before he came over to take a seat.

The man sat down opposite, raised his face and saw me, with a stunned expression.Looking at Zeng Yuhan again, his eyes became suspicious.

"Xiang Cheng, is that you? You found..."

Zeng Yuhan stretched out her hand and tapped on the table, half of her arm was in front of me.Knowing that he was going to speak, I subconsciously turned my head to read his lips.

"Talk to me, talk to me, I make his decision!"

When can you make my decision?

I was a little amused, but in front of Xiang Rong, I couldn't say anything, I just said: "I am the one who wants to buy a house, and the intermediary has offered you a price before. Even though this situation has happened now, I still want to buy the house I came back, but I will definitely not give that price, you can talk to...my brother about the details."

Zeng Yuhan glanced at me unexpectedly, I remained calm and motioned "I'll leave it to you".

He slightly pursed the tip of his lips, retracted the half of the arm that was blocking me, faced Xiang Rong, and became more particular.

Usually it is difficult to notice that Zeng Yuhan is only two years younger than Chi Xue and me. He has a slender frame and no flesh on his body.

In addition, his daily dress and behavior are also like a high school student. When I get along with him, I often unconsciously regard him as a child who does not eat fireworks.

It was the first time I saw him as a serious adult.

The posture looks relaxed, but the back is not loose, which makes people feel his calmness, but also cannot ignore his hidden toughness.

At first I tried to identify their mouth shapes and read their lips carefully, but then I gave up.

The sky outside the window was getting cloudy, and after a while, the torrential rain that is common in June came again.The cafe waiter came to close the window, and I specially asked her to leave a gap so that I could see NO.16 not far away.

In the silent world, the voice from the distant time gradually sounded in my head.

Everyone's childhood will pass, but that time itself will become a person's blood, flowing in the body forever.One cannot escape from this.

Therefore, the days when Chi Xue and I lived and grew up in these old streets and old houses will never really pass.And the temptation to return to his hometown is naturally irresistible.

Zeng Yuhan may not understand that there is still a "hometown" in the world to return to, which is the grateful luck of people like us-we, Chi Xue and I, are orphans.

Suddenly, my elbow was poked.

It was Zeng Yuhan. While motioning for me to come back to my senses, he raised his chin slightly and faced Xiang Rong solemnly.

"Think to yourself, boss, you won't find a better buyer. And, if you really care about your child's feelings, you should sell to us,"

As he said that, he turned his head to look at me, "Although there is no blood relationship, my brother is also your son's cousin. If you sell it to my brother, he will let your son come back for a few days from time to time."

I didn't need him to explain more, I just "listened" to understand - when I was distracted, Xiang Rong used Xiang Ting's wishes to explain the matter.

A few days ago, he took Xiang Ting from Song Weiran, and we expected that once he found out that the buyer was me, he would do it.

"Hey, look, you have such a good relationship with Xiao Ting, and you hope he will live well in the future, right? You are not short of money, so it's pointless to bargain for three or two million yuan, right?" Xiang Rong knew that the decision was up to me, Immediately apologized to me with a smile.

His Mandarin is not standard, and his mouth is blurred. I spent some effort to smooth out his words, and it took a little longer.

He waited until he couldn't hold back his face gradually. Anxiety flashed in his hanging corner eyes, but he still refused to let go, and the corners of his mouth were drawn in an attitude of waiting for me.

I was a little confused and didn't want to say it, otherwise it would look like a threat, but his shameless attitude made me really unable to hold back my curiosity.

"Uncle Rong, Xiao Ting and I have no blood relationship. If you are willing to give two or three million yuan to ensure his future life is rich, then you, as a father, would you like to ask for two or three million yuan less to keep his life clean and free from stains? "

After hearing this, Xiang Rong's complexion suddenly changed.
