When He Smiles - Chapter 46
Those words of Chi Zheng made Meng Shengnan smirk most of the night. He has changed a lot over the years, but this sultry tone hasn’t lost much. He is still busy, occasionally stealing for a long time to talk to her.
After spending some time in Hangzhou, it is time for Meng Shengnan to return to Jiangcheng.
Grandma took her to the market that morning, and the vegetable market was full of people.
Maybe it was because she was hungry and cold when she was in school before, and her stomach has not been so good. Grandma said she wanted to drink white radish soup, get up early with a cup of warm water, and put salt on the millet porridge. Regular and quantitative, avoid spicy stimulation, avoid cold and avoid hot. Eat smaller meals and eat more slowly when you are hungry.
A few days ago, I had stomach trouble again.
In severe cases, drinking water will be acidic and swollen, and I don’t have the energy to talk while lying in bed.
She is a twenty-four-year-old girl, and her grandmother rubs her belly every night. She was ticklish and giggled as she hurt. The old man speaks his native dialect and is kind and gentle. He is chanting nice scriptures, telling her Peking opera, and patting her back to sleep slowly. Sometimes it was particularly uncomfortable, grandma choked, and the eyes would be red. She hugged the quilt and approached the old man, with tears in her eyes and said, “It’s okay, it will be fine in a while.
Then she woke up in the morning and the cat lay between her and grandmother.
She reached out to tease the cat, and Mimi rubbed her finger.
“It licks me.” Meng Shengnan was pleasantly surprised.
Grandma laughed and touched the cat’s paw, her voice old.
“Come, shake hands.”
Once she was playing with the cat, she walked forward, and the cat immediately dipped away from her for a long distance. She walked forward again, and the cat flashed forward again. She stopped leaving, and went back to the kitchen and said to her grandmother, “Why did I run away as soon as I chased it?”
Grandma is cooking porridge, happy.
“You must be hungry. I want to lead you to the food box to feed it.”
She went up to the second floor to catch cat food and called Mimi.
It immediately ran over to rub her feet and ate happily.
Meng Shengnan whispered, “Grandma is a real god.”
When she came there, she was thinking about Chi Zheng dulling her time, and now she was leaving with guilt for her grandmother. The old man always made Xiao Hang laugh when she talked about funny stories about her when she was a child. Grandpa likes to watch the news, and grandma argued over the remote control to watch a movie. The two quarreled and laughed again. Later, she returned to Jiangcheng alone, and Meng Hang didn’t want to leave later.
The family had a meal, and she left for three or four o’clock in the afternoon.
Sent her to the door to take a taxi, and the old man stuffed things into her pocket.
“what?”
She took it out to see it was a lactic acid bacteria tablet.
Grandma laughed, “It’s okay to hold on.”
Until the car had gone a long way, she looked back, and the old man was still standing there. Meng Shengnan slowly turned around and sat down, and suddenly wanted to call Chi Zheng. She hadn’t said that her stomach hurts terribly, and she was not really afraid that he would be annoying. It’s just that the sound at that moment was really not very nice, and in the end I was afraid to disturb him.
She looked at the highway in the distance, why couldn’t she help it now.
When Meng Shengnan dialed the past, Chi Zheng was nestling in the Jinding. He went back to the store last night to pick up the display, dropped the phone, and now he typed the code and completely forgot about it. Shi Jin was so busy that he lay on the carpet leaning back and forth.
Lu Huai envied: “Why does he enjoy it so much.”
Chi Zheng smiled.
Lu Huai also planned to take a break, got up and took instant noodles from the box, threw a box to Chi Zheng, and asked while pouring water, “What’s the date today?”
Chi Zheng shook a cigarette out of the cigarette case on the table, leaned to his mouth and paused.
“18.” he said.
Lu Huai counted the days, “I have been here for more than ten days.”
Chi Zheng lit a cigarette.
“Almost.” She was gone for more than ten days.
Lu Huai soaked the noodles and lifted the plastic cover, floating up in the steam, entangled with the smoke. Chi Zheng went to his trouser pocket to touch the phone with a cigarette, and then frowned.
“what’s happenin?”
Chi Zheng raised his eyes, “The phone may have fallen.”
Lu Huai said, “You went back to the store last night, forget there.”
Chi Zheng made a’tsk’, and started smoking a cigarette. Then I got busy again, and it was half dark. He leaned on the chair and moved his head, the bones in his neck rang. Then he turned away the mineral water and drank half of his head up, kicked off the chair and got up.
Shi Jin asked, “What are you going to do?”
“In the shop.”
Lu Huai tilted his head, “You miss a woman, right?”
Chi Zheng glanced at him and snorted in his nose.
“Are you jealous?”
Lu Huai almost sprayed, “Fuck.”
Shi Jin spreads his hands.
Chi Zheng laughed playfully, and went out lazily with his hands in his pockets. He didn’t take the stairs this time, maybe because he was too tired, he just hit the elevator on the first floor. When coming out of Jinding, there was a breeze. He looked up at the sky, scanned the road on both sides, lit a cigarette and walked back.
Neon lights are beginning to appear.
At the food stall near the train station, the two women chatted. Meng Shengnan received a call from Qi Qiao on the train. The woman was depressed recently and needed comfort. She couldn’t walk away and was stopped by a woman who had been waiting outside the train station for half an hour.
“It’s still your best, Nan Nan.”
Meng Shengnan rarely got goose bumps again. “It’s a good thing that he signed a record company. What are you bothering you about?”
Qi Qiao drooped his head to drink, and his grievance seemed deep.
“He is very busy every day, and he has no time to spend the weekend with me.”
Meng Shengnan propped his chin with his left hand, “Thanks for your hard work.”
Qi Qiao: “…”
“A few words do you not comfort me?” The woman frowned.
Meng Shengnan blinked.
“What you need is not my comfort. Song Jiashu is your antidote.”
Qi Qiao said weakly.
Meng Shengnan smiled and said, “Okay, he should have time to accompany you after he has been busy, so why does he love you so much that he is willing to keep you alone?”
Qi Qiao: “Are you serious?”
“Fake one lose ten.”
Qi Qiao: “…”
The woman started drinking again, but Meng Shengnan couldn’t stop it. The street lights came on, Qi Qiao’s face was red, and he was already drunk. Helpless, Meng Shengnan called a car to help her home. Qi Qiaolai was in bed and would not let her go. The ceremony called to ask when she would be back. She couldn’t help but Qi Qiao said the next morning.
Qi Qiao was asleep, and she helped change her clothes and put on the quilt.
Just walked onto the balcony to call Chi Zheng, the door lock was moving. She walked over and looked, Song Jiashu opened the door and came in. Meng Shengnan froze for a moment, and pointed to the bedroom, “Qi Qiao is asleep.”
Song Jiashu glanced in the direction she pointed.
“Then I’m going home, you tell her.”
Song Jiashu said quietly: “I will send you back.”
“No need, you take good care of her.”
Meng Shengnan smiled slightly, pushed through the suitcase and carried the bag out the door, took a few steps and looked back.
“She is in a bad mood, you still have to accompany her more.”
Song Jiashu raised his eyes, “I know.”
She nodded and left.
The elevator number slowly dropped to 1, and Meng Shengnan stopped the car at the door. It rained suddenly in the sky, and she looked at the hazy night and changed her mind. Meng Shengnan got out of the car and walked along the streets of Fangshizi.
She was thin in the drizzle on her body.
Seeing her getting closer and closer to him, she rarely jumped for joy and walked briskly.
A few years ago, looking at slimming men and women, Sammi Cheng succeeded in losing weight. Wearing a loose gray trench coat, she went to the rotten alley to find Andy Lau. It was also raining that day. The woman was holding a black umbrella, and seeing the man with a bruised nose and swollen face, she was still yelling ‘600 yuan per minute’.
At the red light, she stopped.
Looking across the road to the broken alley on the opposite side, he couldn’t see the light of his shop.
Yellow light, she looked ahead.
A figure appeared on the opposite side, a gray shirt and black trousers. He stuck in his pocket and bit his cigarette, but didn’t hold the umbrella. Meng Shengnan’s hand holding the trolley box was cold, and his eyes fell quietly on him. The man took a cigarette, and when he looked up, he seemed to be stunned.
Green light, she didn’t move.
The cars on both sides stopped, rain hit the windshield, and pedestrians came and went with umbrellas. In the crowd, the man took down the cigarette and slowly walked over.
The rain floated in her eyes.
In 2003, Rene Liu sang Miyuki Nakajima’s song, which was included in the album “My Failure and Greatness”. The name is: So you are here.
Meng Shengnan just watched him approach, Chi Zheng’s eyes were gentle.
He flexed his fingers and flicked her forehead.
“Silly?”
Meng Shengnan didn’t hide, and looked at him with his forehead.
Chi Zheng smiled helplessly, leaned over and picked up the box in her right hand. He put the cigarette in his mouth and vacated to take her hand. With wet palms, Meng Shengnan followed him across the road. She turned her head to look at him, and suddenly smiled. Chi Zheng Yu Guang grabbed a face, and he raised his eyebrows to look at her.
“Not awake yet?”
She tilted her head, Chi Zheng smiled deeply in her eyes.
He took her by the hand and walked through the short alley. Chi Zheng opened the shop door and closed it again. There was his smell in the room, and Meng Shengnan stood quietly. Chi Zheng put down his suitcase and looked back at her.
“Silly?”
He tilted his head and smiled.
Meng Shengnan’s clothes were wet, and his heart was very warm. Chi Zheng looked at her amused, and was about to reach out to rub her hair. Meng Shengnan suddenly leaned forward and slowly hugged him, and Chi Zheng was taken aback. He immediately laughed and rubbed her hair.
After a while, Chi Zheng spoke in a low voice.
“Miss me.”
Without questioning in his tone, Meng Shengnan blushed and did not dare to lift the head buried in his chest. The light rain was getting heavier outside, and there was a sound of needle falling in the room. Later, afraid that she would catch a cold, Chi Zheng turned over her clothes and asked her to change them. The two stood in a narrow place beside the bed. Meng Shengnan held his shirt, his mouth moved, and his voice was soft, “You turn it over first.”
Chi Zheng smiled.
“Isn’t it that I haven’t seen it before, really don’t let me see it?”
Meng Shengnan’s head shook like a rattle.
Chi Zheng licked his lower lip and slowly turned and leaned against the baffle beside the bed. He looked down, the figure of the woman on the ground was slender, and at first glance, she could see her proud chest. Chi Zheng rolled his Adam’s apple, coughed a few times and looked away. After a while, he turned his head and asked: “Is it changed?”
“Ok.”
Meng Shengnan watched him turn around calmly, and asked, “You don’t want to change?”
Chi Zheng picked up the collar of his shirt and smelled it, then raised his eyes.
“I always smell of smoke, so I won’t change it.”
“What should I do if I have a cold?”
Chi Zheng: “When I am you, like Lin Daiyu.”
She pursed her lips and smiled, and Chi Zheng asked, “Did you eat it?”
Meng Shengnan touched her belly. She basically listened to women complaining when she was with Qi Qiao, and the chopsticks did not move a few times.
“A little hungry.”
Chi Zheng raised his eyebrows, “I’ll buy what you want to eat.”
“Anything.”
Chi Zheng smiled, “You don’t pick it.”
She scratched her cheek.
Chi Zheng raised his eyebrows, “It’s been a long time since I saw you, why are you embarrassed?”
Meng Shengnan curled his lips, “I don’t have one.”
“Just stiff.”
Meng Shengnan: “…”
The light hit her face, Chi Zheng opened the drawer and took an umbrella. He walked a few steps and rubbed her hair.
“Wait.”
Then he walked out the door sideways, Meng Shengnan looked back, he was long gone. She sat down by the bed, waited a while before seeing him come back, and turned on the computer to play. I was afraid of accidentally damaging the things in his computer, so I didn’t dare to move it.
The sound of rain was mixed with the sound of footsteps, and Chi Zheng brought in the porridge and vegetables and pushed in.
Meng Shengnan was sitting on the chair with his legs bent and staring at the computer, Chi Zheng placed the food and brought it to the table. She looked down at the amount of one person, raised her head and asked, “Aren’t you eating?”
Chi Zheng leaned on the glass cabinet, “I’m not hungry.”
“Oh.”
She picked up the meal and fed it to her mouth little by little, Chi Zheng looked down.
Meng Shengnan was uncomfortable staring at him. She pointed to the computer, “I don’t know how to use you. I can’t even connect to the Internet.”
“What do you want to see?” he asked.
Meng Shengnan thought about it seriously, “Dou E has been wronged.”
Chi Zheng: “…”
He raised a laugh, low and low. In that gaze, Meng Shengnan was a little hot. He arched his cheeks and looked at her like that. In the room, a couple of men and women, the atmosphere is exquisite.
