Chapter 1748 Time and Space Merchant (25)
Xi Jing's "chaotic" smile at Chu Zheng ended up being repaired by Chu Zheng. When he went back, Xi Jing walked up the stairs as if someone was chasing him, leaving Chu Zheng behind.
When Chu Zheng went up, Xi Jing had already gone to the bathroom.
"Do you want to drink milk?" Chuzheng asked from behind the curtain.
"Don't drink..."
"I'll heat it up for you. Remember to drink it when you come out."
"..." Xi Jing muttered aggrievedly inside: "Then why do you still ask me."
Xi Jing went out after taking a shower, looked at the milk that was still warm in the hot water, hesitated, picked it up and drank it in one gulp.
Xi Jing went to bed first and slept in the position inside.
He stared at the ceiling above his head, not knowing what he was thinking, until Chuzheng came up and took him into his arms: "Are you scared today?"
Xi Jing shook his head, then nodded again after a moment.
"This kind of thing will never happen again, don't be afraid." Chuzheng comforted him softly.
Xi Jing suddenly broke away from her and sat up: "I...I want to tell you something."
"Um?"
Xi Jing seemed not to know how to speak, and remained silent for a while.
I don't know how long it took, but Xi Jing took a deep breath and said, "I...I want to borrow money from you."
"Borrow money?"
"Um……"
Xi Jing did not hide anything from Chu Zheng and told her everything in detail.
"I will pay you back in the future." Xi Jing finally promised seriously.
"My..." Chuzheng's eyes turned slightly, as if she thought of something: "Why not?"
"I will pay it back." Xi Jing puffed his cheeks slightly, he will make a lot of money in the future!
"I said if."
"If..." Xi Jing thought for a while, shook his head, and said firmly: "No if, I can definitely pay it back."
Chuzheng motioned for him to come over. Xi Jing hesitated and slowly lay back in Chuzheng's arms.
Chuzheng whispered in his ear: "If you still can't..."
After hearing this, Xi Jing's whole body froze, and his ears felt hot, as if they were about to burn.
After a while, he responded vaguely: "Okay."
Chuzheng kissed his forehead and said, "I'll help you pay back the money tomorrow."
-
The next day, after Chuzheng asked Xi Jing and who borrowed it and some specific details, she didn't let him follow and went alone.
After all, some scenes are not easy for good guys to see.
Chuzheng also asked for leave from Xi Jing's work, leaving Xi Jing to stay at home alone.
He had nothing to do, so he tidied up the house first, thought about what to do at noon, then took the keys and went out to buy groceries.
When Xi Jing came back from shopping for groceries, he saw the man from yesterday at the top of the stairs.
He was leaning on the handrail of the stairs, looking like he was waiting for him...
Xi Jing thought of what Chu Zheng said to him and planned to avoid it first, so he turned around and left.
However, Wei Yi had already seen him and chased after him in a few steps: "Why did you run if you saw me?"
Xi Jing: "..."
Xi Jing took a few steps back and kept a distance from him: "What's the matter with you?"
Wei Yi raised his eyebrows: "I saved you yesterday, right? What's your attitude?"
"……Thank you."
Wei Yi stared at him for a few seconds, guessing that Chu Zheng must have said something to him.
But it's not important...
Wei Yi's smile deepened, like the snake that tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, all with evil intentions: "Do you want to know the origin of that woman?"
Xi Jing suddenly looked up at him.
"Do you think she is an ordinary person? Why do you think she is so good to you?" Wei Yi approached Xi Jing and circled around him: "You like her, right?"
Xi Jing's hand holding the bag tightened suddenly.
Wei Yi continued: "But has she said she likes you? What does she think of you? A beautiful toy?"
No!
certainly not!
she……
Wei Yi stopped, took out a black card and handed it over: "If you want to know more, you are welcome to come to me, I will be happy to answer it for you."
Xi Jing had seen this kind of card at Chu Zheng's place...
"I……"
Xi Jing looked up and found that the place in front of him was empty, and there was no sign of the person just now.
The business card in Xi Jing's hand suddenly became a little heavy.
He stared at the business card for a long time and walked towards the trash can not far away.
The hand holding the card was hanging on the trash can, but he didn't let go for a long time.
"Throw it or not, don't block it if you don't!"
Someone spoke from behind.
Xi Jing retracted his hand, turned sideways, lowered his head and apologized: "I'm sorry." Then he turned around and ran upstairs quickly.
He returned home with the card in hand, his mind filled with what the man said.
——But did she say she likes you? What does she take you for? A beautiful toy?
Plaything?
Xi Jing squeezed the card in his hand.
I don't know how long it took, but Xi Jing put the card into his pocket. Finally, as if he thought of something, he took it out and stuffed it into the cabinet.
Xi Jing prepared lunch and waited for Chuzheng to come back, but Chuzheng didn't come back at noon and didn't send him a message.
Xi Jing looked at the cold food and felt depressed.
"elder brother……"
Chen Beibei pulled on the door frame and called out cautiously. Her eyes were full of desire and she swallowed.
Xi Jing calmed down and said, "Are you hungry?"
Chen Beibei nodded.
Xi Jing asked Chen Beibei to come in. He heated up the food and said, "Eat."
Chen Beibei came back from school today and found that no one was home and there was nothing to eat. She had smelled the fragrance and "touched" it before, but she was afraid of Chuzheng, so she kept silent.
In the end, I found that Chu Zheng seemed to be gone, and I couldn't help it.
"Brother, are you unhappy?"
Xi Jing was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "No."
"But you look sad."
Xi Jing: "..."
Have it?
Xi Jing didn't want to talk to Chen Beibei about this problem, so he told her: "I'm not sad. You should eat well. You will be late for school."
After all, Chen Beibei was a child and could not expect so much. When Xi Jing said no, she believed it and started cooking rice in earnest.
"Brother, you are so kind. I will definitely marry you when I grow up." Tong Yanwuji said this.
Xi Jing didn't take it to heart, but the next second he saw Chu Zheng suddenly appearing at the door.
Chu Zheng's expression was very bad, especially when she saw Chen Beibei, the look in her eyes made Xi Jing doubt that she would take action...
Xi Jing felt inexplicably nervous about being caught.
But considering that he hasn't done anything to regret her... she's still so scared!
Xi Jing stood up nervously: "You...you are back. Have you eaten?"
When Chu Zheng appeared, Chen Beibei huddled up and held the bowl pitifully.
Chuzheng walked in, put down the things in her hands, and entered the bathroom.
Xi Jing told Chen Beibei, "Eat quickly." Then he followed her into the bathroom.
Chuzheng was washing her face when she saw him coming in from the mirror, but she didn't say anything.
"Beibei has no one at home, and you didn't come back, so I let her come in and eat..."
Before Xi Jing finished speaking, Chuzheng pulled him and held him down.
The bathroom has been renovated. Although it is small, it is clean and bright. The boy's back is pressed against the cold tiles.
