"Don't talk any more." I took a step back and said, "It's definitely not what you think. You're overly concerned. You don't understand He Huanhuan at all. Her native family is very bad. She has been growing up since she was six years old. Starting from that year, her parents often quarreled. If you don’t know what happened in her family, don’t jump to conclusions easily. Huanhuan..."
Immediately afterwards, I briefly told Xiao Mengxin about He Huanhuan's father's inaction and derailment, the tragic family experience of Teacher Qiao's death, and the painful torment of her recent disappearance. Sympathy gradually appeared in her eyes.
"So." I said with great determination: "So, He Huanhuan's feelings for me are at best dependent. She is afraid that I will ignore her if I have a partner. This is not what you think at all. If you are doubting our relationship, just go Find your happiness!"
"You." Xiao Mengxin was furious, but she probably didn't want to argue with me. After a while, she exhaled, lowered her eyes and said, "I hope, like you said, she just relies on you."
I was too lazy to care what she thought. I looked at the foot of the mountain and stopped talking. The atmosphere was a bit silent and depressing.
After a long time, Xiao Mengxin suddenly sighed heavily, held my hand and said: "Xiao An, no matter what, I believe in your character. I hope you can handle your relationship with He Huanhuan well. If..."
I thought she had compromised and stopped worrying about my relationship with He Huanhuan, but her voice suddenly turned cold, "If I were really your other half, you wouldn't want me to lie in the arms of another man one day. ,Right."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Mengxin turned around and walked down the mountain without waiting for me to speak.
"You." I looked at her back sharply, and my heart twisted. She actually said she would lie in the arms of another man. Was she threatening me?
To be honest, I definitely don’t want her to be with other men, but I hate her threatening me even more.
But at this moment, Xiao Mengxin suddenly turned around and said: "Xiao An, don't think I'm threatening you. Remember, there is no room for a grain of sand in the eyes of love. No one wants to have a grain of sand next to the man they love deeply. A ticking time bomb.”
After saying that, she continued walking down the mountain.
"I am the man she loves deeply..." I felt a little comfortable when I heard her say that.
In fact, when I put myself in her shoes, I understand how she feels now.
From my point of view, I definitely don’t want her to have an older brother or younger brother by her side.
However, the relationship between He Huanhuan and I has been damaged beyond repair, and it is impossible to abandon Huanhuan because of her.
What's more, taking good care of He Huanhuan is my promise to Teacher Qiao. The scene of her kneeling down and begging me to take care of He Huanhuan often comes to my mind.
Also, she is still suffering in the Ice Hell, how can I let her have nothing to worry about?
As for Xiao Mengxin saying that He Huanhuan likes me, I think it is unlikely. Even if there is really a sign of it, I will nip it in the cradle.
Seeing Xiao Mengxin walking further and further away, I chased after her and returned to the car.
Xiao Mengxin emphasized again: "Xiao An, are you really not going to come back to the city with me? In order for me to take over the family business in the future, my parents may let me join the company to do business after the Chinese New Year. It will be difficult to come back then. It’s up to you.”
I was a little disappointed when I heard this, but I still made up my mind and said, "I won't go. You can do your job. Three years later, you don't need to tell me, I will go to the city to develop."
Grandma has just left. How can I leave here with my back? I plan to guard grandma's tomb for three years. After three years, the sky is high and I can fly.
"Three years?" Xiao Mengxin said with dark eyes: "A lot of things may happen in three years."
I thought to myself that she might be worried about my relationship with He Huanhuan again, but I didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore. Then I asked her if she was busy working after the Chinese New Year, so she didn't have to go to school?
I'm quite curious about where she goes to school. Xiao Mengxin heard that she goes to school in an aristocratic university, but she can go there or not. Besides, with her intelligence, she can just go to one or two classes a day.
Then, I suddenly thought of a question, looked at her and asked, "Mengxin, didn't you say you had a bad dream yesterday? What did you dream about?"
Hearing this, Xiao Mengxin's face suddenly turned livid, and she said coldly: "I dreamed that you married He Huanhuan!"
"What?" I almost bit off my tongue in surprise, "What kind of dream are you having?"
I scratched my face irritably, "You are just having random thoughts, which makes you have thoughts and dreams every day and night. I hope you won't doubt my relationship with Huanhuan!"
When Xiao Mengxin heard this, she squinted her eyes and looked at the road ahead without saying anything, and she didn't know what to think about anymore.
"Huh." I snorted and turned my head to look out the window.
We didn't talk after that.
After arriving home.
Grandpa praised me for buying the urn and asked me how much it cost.
I was afraid that he wouldn't believe me when I said it was too cheap, so I lied and said I bought it for three thousand. My grandpa even blamed me for buying it too expensive. But my aunt and second aunt saw that the urn must be more than three thousand, but they didn't prick it.
During lunch, I specially observed He Huanhuan for a while. Does she really like me?
However, He Huanhuan kept eating in a low mood. I didn't notice anything, but it was true that she had a cold attitude towards Xiao Mengxin.
There was nothing big going on today. I occasionally greeted people from the countryside who came to see my grandma. The wreaths in the courtyard could no longer be placed. Grandpa also collected a lot of money in the past two days.
After finishing my work for the day, I sat next to my grandma and looked at her. Suddenly, something moved in my heart, and I thought of a question. I quickly asked Hu Tiangang, "By the way, Lao Xianjia, I heard you say before that you will be capable in the future." , will go find my grandma, do you know where she is? Can you take me with you then?"
I remember my grandma Hu Tiangang said this before in front of the hall. Does she know where my grandma is?
After a long time, Hu Tiangang came to the idea, "I only know which samsara path your grandma is in, but I don't know the specific location. Besides, it's not that easy to find your grandma. You should focus on cultivation first. Let’s talk about it later when we have the ability.”
"Then where is my grandma? What are the requirements to find my grandma?" I asked hastily. I was very excited that Hu Tiangang really knew the whereabouts of my grandma.
"Focus on your cultivation, don't think too much about other things. If your cultivation is low, everything is just nonsense." After Hu Tiangang said this, he didn't reply no matter how I asked him, and his temper was quite stubborn.
However, the possibility of finding my grandma has become a great hope for me, and it has further strengthened my determination to become stronger as soon as possible.
The time soon came to around eight o'clock in the evening. My aunt and Gongsun Tianqiang stayed at home in the first half of the night, and I went out to bring them back to the house in the second half of the night.
I looked at my grandma and sighed, thinking that when dawn would be the third day after she left, I would have to take her to the crematorium to be cremated and then buried. I wouldn’t even be able to see the body.
I looked at my grandma in a daze, but not long after, Xiao Mengxin and He Huanhuan also came out of the room.
This time, He Huanhuan held a cotton-padded jacket in his hand, put it on me and said softly: "Brother An, don't catch a cold. I'm worried about you."
Her voice was gentler than ever before, and it was the first time I heard her speak to me in this tone. It felt like a newly married daughter-in-law was serving the groom. I was a little stunned for a moment.
"Hmph." Xiao Mengxin suddenly snorted coldly: "It's okay for a sister to care about her brother normally, but she must not cross the line!"
He Huanhuan's body trembled when he heard this, but he didn't speak.
I looked at Xiao Mengxin reluctantly and said, "Can't you speak in a nicer tone? She..."
"I don't want to listen to you." Xiao Mengxin interrupted me directly and lowered her head with an ugly expression.
I sighed helplessly and patted He Huanhuan on the shoulder to express comfort, and realized that these two women would definitely burst out with the smell of gunpowder together.
One is the person I love, and the other is my sister. I don’t want to take sides. How can I make them live in harmony?
It’s really a headache, just take it one step at a time, I’m not good at dealing with feelings.
The candles in the room swayed slightly, reflecting the shadows of the three of us on the wall, swaying left and right, and gradually the shadows were covered by the sunlight.
After dawn, I moved my body and looked at the two girls. They were both asleep, and they were really able to survive.
I looked at the time, it was already half past six.
At this time, the sound of the aunt and others waking up came from the room.
Grandpa walked out of the room, looked at grandma and sighed: "Hey, your grandma is going to be buried today. Xiao An, you should go and rest for a while."
The burial would be fine in the morning. There was no specific and strict time limit, and I didn’t insist on it, so I went back to the house and slept for a while.
After eight o'clock, I woke up and found that my parents were also here. My dad said he got here after seven o'clock.
After breakfast, I was ready to take my grandma to the crematorium for cremation, feeling quite sad.
"Let's go, let's carry it into the car." Grandpa put on his cotton clothes and was about to carry grandma's body.
"I'll do it, grandpa." I walked over directly and put my arms under grandma's armpits.
Gongsun Tianqiang did something good this time and took the initiative to lift his grandma's legs.
But just as we were about to walk to the gate outside the courtyard, we saw two strangers standing at the door, looking at us.
One is an old man who looks to be in his sixties, with small eyes, a big nose and big lips, and his face is darkened with a bit of blackboard.
His appearance was really unbearable, and what made me frown even more was that he still had a faint smell of corpse.
The other man was a man in his forties. Although his face was not as dark, his appearance was similar to that of the old man. The pupils of his eyes were very small, causing a large amount of the whites of his eyes to be exposed, just like the eyes of a dead person.
When the aunt saw these two people, she quickly covered her nose and took a few steps back in disgust.
Gongsun Tianqiang's eyes narrowed.
Grandpa asked curiously: "Are you..."
"My name is Xing Wushang. Mrs. Sun is being buried today, so I'm here to see her off." His voice was hoarse, like fingernails scratching glass.
"Xing Wushang?" Upon hearing this, my grandfather became even more confused. He looked at the other party carefully, as if he was thinking about who the other party was. Everyone else was puzzled.
But after being stunned for a moment, I immediately remembered who this person was, and quickly said: "I remember who you are, you are Mr. Xing."
I remember that when Liu Qiang drowned in the river four years ago, my grandma found the man who retrieved the body, but he was never seen again.
Unexpectedly, on the day when my grandma was buried, Xing Wushang would come. How on earth did he know that my grandma had passed away? How could he figure it out?
"Haha." Xing Wushang looked at me and smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for four years. I didn't expect that this kid like you has grown so big and your level has improved a lot. Not bad, not bad."
After he finished speaking, he looked at my grandma again and said with dark eyes: "Mr. Sun, we have been friends for so many years. I didn't expect you to leave just like that. I'm here to see you off today."
