Kill you
Duan Jiang pondered for a long time and asked, "How much money did you make from reselling those things?"
After hearing this, Xu Nian turned to look at Xu Hongqi. Seeing that he had no intention of answering, she hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said with a choked voice, "Tell my uncle."
Xu Hongqi felt dizzy and had tinnitus for a moment. What happened today was too coincidental, but it was too coincidental to be called coincidence. It was simply the result of "someone with ulterior motives" waiting for something to happen.
Today was the last reselling business he had planned before graduating from university, and this time it couldn't even be considered reselling. The day before yesterday, Meiyue came to him to pay back the last 200 yuan he owed her. Her face was full of shyness, and she said that she wanted to hold a banquet with the male educated youth in the team during the slack season.
Sometimes he felt that the Qi Meiyue in front of him was not the same Qi Meiyue he knew. She was smart enough when she was a child, but now it seemed like there was a hole in her. He really didn't think highly of that male educated youth. The two of them grew up in very different environments and families, so how could they possibly get along? At that moment, he somehow thought of Liu Jun and Xu Chunling, who were weighing on his heart. They were like a vicious circle before.
But there was one thing that made him treat Qi Meiyue differently from others. Maybe it was because he was really too lonely before. At that time, as long as there was a little bit of warmth, he felt that he could hold on for a while longer.
His arm was constantly being shaken by the girl in front of him. In fact, he had not dared to look at Xu Nian until just now. He had never denied that he was a selfish, vicious and cunning person, but when all the embarrassment was revealed in front of Xu Nian, his heart actually tightened several times. But when all the bad sides were laid out in front of others..., when she begged others, he would hate himself, when she cried with depression, his hands would tremble uncontrollably, and when she excused and defended herself, he thought he might be perverted, and he was actually happy.
Is that so?
It turned out to be like this...
That's how it should be.
At this moment, his heart, which even he himself sometimes couldn't figure out, suddenly became clear.
Xu Hongqi raised his other arm and gently wiped Xu Nian's tears. This time, he no longer avoided her gaze, but instead looked deeply at her for a moment. Her face was too pale, but her nose and eyes were red. Her eyelashes clumped together as the tears fell and he wiped them away. Now, besides finding her adorable, he felt only heartache.
He saw Duan Jiang's lips moving out of the corner of his eye. Xu Hongqi didn't wait for him to speak again. Instead, he shifted his position and stood in front of Xu Nian, answering the previous question, "3239.74."
His words shocked everyone present at the Xu family. It wasn't dozens, not hundreds, but thousands. Xu Fengjian calculated the fastest. If he worked in the fields like this to make a living, even if he died in the fields, it would probably take decades. He was not sure when Xu Hongqi started doing this, but based on his situation before he came to the family, that is, he had earned money since he came to the Xu family. He couldn't control his fingers and couldn't pinch them, so it was only a year and a half at most.
Everyone had different thoughts. Xu Nian stopped crying for a short while, then looked at Duan Jiang nervously. The people who came to their senses had the same expression as her.
Duan Jiang also felt a headache after hearing this. He vaguely felt that there was something seriously wrong with this Xu Hongqi. When he was caught on the spot "trading" with a young man and woman this afternoon, he was still very calm. Instead, after seeing the Xu family coming home, he had that kind of lonely, silent and pitiful expression. And when facing his niece Xu Nian, he could see a hint of shame.
He followed Xu Hongqi to the house he rented and saw various operating equipment and tools in a so-called workshop. Only then did he understand what his family meant by "university tyrant" at the beginning.
But now he no longer saw any shame in the young boy, and he even saw him become more peaceful. This made him, as a soldier, keenly feel that such people must be educated by the country.
And..., he glanced at his wife. This kind of education could really make him send that child to prison. If there was no other education, there would only be one other way. He didn't look at Xu Hongqi again, but said to Xu Qinghua, "Second brother, it's the middle of the night, so I won't say any more. What I can do is take Xu Hongqi with us tomorrow."
Xu Nian was very nervous the whole time. She felt that it was because she was too nervous that she could not understand what her uncle-in-law said. "Uncle-in-law, what do you mean by going with you guys?" She shuddered after she said that. She was not feeling well to begin with, and she cried again. It was cold, so it was a natural physiological reaction.
Xu Hongqi leaned sideways again, as if half-hugging her to block the wind.
Duan Jiang glanced at Xu Hongqi. He knew that Xu Hongqi must have understood. He then looked at his nervous niece and said bluntly, "Just follow me into the army."
Xu Qinghua wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, looked at his wife, and closed it silently.
Xu Nian blurted out anxiously, "But he will take the college entrance examination in half a year."
“The army also has schools.”
"Military academy?" Xu Nian asked hesitantly.
After seeing Duan Jiang nod, her heart, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, this was a good thing. People at such a high level in the country must have more ways than her and would definitely be able to put Xu Hongqi on the right track.
After thinking it through, Xu Nian regained consciousness, but then he became angry. They told him not to do it, but he insisted on doing it. Now it was fine, there was nothing he could do. However, the girl who had just been trying so hard to protect others was now not even looking at the unlucky protagonist of tonight. His stomach started to hurt again. During this time, the adults had already started to discuss the arrangements for subsequent academic records and travel, but no one paid any attention to the two children.
Xu Nian now felt pain in Xu Hongqi's eyes. She glanced at him sideways and walked away. After she moved, the person behind her also moved and followed her to the door of the house.
Xu Nian did not push open the door of her room, but stopped at the door. Xu Hongqi looked at the top of her head. There was static electricity in winter, and the wind blew through her short hair just now, and the surface hair on her head took the opportunity to sway and stand up crookedly.
Xu Hongqi didn't think about anything at the moment. He unconsciously raised his hand and placed it on Xu Nian's standing hair, then stroked it heavily.
Xu Nian was already furious, and almost in sync with his movements, he turned around suddenly, raised his foot, and kicked Xu Hongqi's calf several times.
When she felt a weight on her head, she thought he was going to hit her, and her tears started to flow again. She didn't wipe them away. It was freezing cold in the countryside in winter, and the tears on her little face felt very cold.
Then, before she could vent her emotions, Xu Hongqi pushed her into the house, and Xu Hongqi wiped her tears again.
Finally, he spoke, "Don't cry, don't your eyes hurt?"
Xu Nian wanted to swear at her, the ultimate grudge, and then she shot back, "Don't worry, you'll leave soon, and I won't have to cry anymore. I promise I'll always smile in the future."
Xu Hongqi took two steps and sat on the stool at her desk. He looked up at her and asked, "Who said you were leaving?"
Xu Nian only realized now that he didn't seem to agree. It might be because the girls' period was about to come, and she was a little anxious at the moment, completely different from her usual self. She quickly walked up to him and kicked his foot again, "What are you talking about? Does my uncle look like an easy-going person? If you don't go to the army, where are you going, you must want to taste the bullet flying."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Xu Hongqi was actually following her next words. She couldn't help but clench her fist and punched him in the chest. After that, she looked at her hand in disbelief. It wasn't that she couldn't believe that she dared to hit the "big villain", but she felt that she had become so violent.
Thinking about it makes me even more sad and angry. The expression in her eyes conveys the feeling very well. She keeps asking me to give back my image as a little lady.
Xu Nian didn't think deeply about it. If she really thought about it, she would know that she was actually too nervous.
Xu Hongqi didn't dare to provoke her too harshly. He also felt that he was sick. Logically, all kinds of gloom should have come out of his mind at this time, but tonight his heart was beating very fast, but he didn't feel bitter. Looking at Xu Nian, he said that, "I'm going to the army, and it will be difficult for us to see each other."
After hearing this, Xu Nian's various thoughts subsided, and then he began to complain, "You never listen to what I say, and you insist on doing the last thing." At the end, he said resentfully, "How great is that! You don't have to listen to things you don't want to hear anymore."
Then she reached out and pushed Xu Hongqi out of the house. At first, he didn't move, but later he pushed him out easily. She felt annoyed again. Before closing the door, Mo Ming muttered something sinister, "Hmph, have you prepared something that's going to kill you and given it to the person who's going to kill you?"
Xu Nian didn't want to hear his answer. She was feeling particularly ugly and sentimental tonight, which would never happen at other times. She lay on the bed, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, thinking about this and that all the time. She was very tired, with pain in her chest and waist, and she fell asleep without knowing when.
The light in the lobby finally went out. There were muted conversations in the room next to Xu Nian. No one knew what was being said, but it soon returned to silence. After an unknown amount of time, all the sounds completely quieted down, but Xu Nian's door made a slight sound.
The room was dark without any light, but after staying in the darkness for a long time, her eyes adjusted to the environment again and she could see the person sleeping on the bed clearly again. However, Xu Hongqi didn't want to look at her in the dark.
He lit a candle and placed it on the ground at the head of the bed. He squatted down and never got up again. Now that there was light, Xu Hongqi saw that the girl on the bed was motionless. After an unknown amount of time, he reached out and touched Xu Nian's fair and rosy cheek.
Then he restrained himself and withdrew his hand, but he wanted to rub the fingers that had touched his cheek. It seemed that the touch was still there, soft, warm and smooth.
He looked at it for a while and saw that most of the new candle had burned down. He let out a breath and took out a bulging envelope from his pocket. He stood up and placed it at Xu Nian's feet, then returned to the bedside and picked up the candle.
Maybe the light was too bright, Xu Nianti, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, leaned sideways towards Xu Hongqi, which was the wrong direction. She tried to bury her head in the pillow.
Xu Hongqi curled his lips slightly, blew out the candle, and then slowly leaned over in the darkness. At first, his target was the forehead, but then he changed direction and came to Xu Nian's ear, demanding domineeringly, "Don't be so kind. If you pick someone up again, I'm enough..."
