The bathtub is not clean
Jiang Qing was also startled. She sang along confusedly, "Happy birthday to you..."
Three people held a huge cake and surrounded Lin Nanyan in the middle, forming a stereo surround sound system.
The ups and downs of voices with different tones mixed together to offer the warmest blessings.
"Happy birthday to you."
After the last syllable fell, Jiang Qing couldn't help but urge the boy to stand there stupidly.
"Make a wish and blow out the candles."
The lights were shining, and a small bright circle of light appeared in everyone's eyes. Lin Nanyan clasped his hands together, lowered his head and closed his eyes.
He blew out all the candles in one breath, and the room fell into darkness in an instant.
With a "bang", as the light came back into the house, streamers exploded above his head.
Lin Nanyan looked up and saw layers of sparse, colorful, and sparkling ribbons of various colors falling down. He caught the ribbon that fell on his left shoulder as if he had caught a butterfly about to fly.
"Thank you, Aunt Wang, and thank you, Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Shanhai waved his hand: "Hey, kid, why are you being so polite? You've lived in our house for so many years, we've already treated you as our own child."
"It's just a birthday. Come, come, have some cake."
Lin Nanyan knew that it was not the case. This was not just a birthday. He did not expect that today was also the tenth anniversary of Grandpa Wang’s death.
The elders all follow the lunar calendar, while the younger generations follow the solar calendar. There is a certain deviation between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar.
This year his birthday happened to fall on Grandpa Wang’s death anniversary. Aunt Wang could have chosen not to come, but she came anyway.
Wang Hong had a smile on her face, nothing unusual. She pulled Lin Nanyan to sit down.
"Xiao Nan, today is your seventeenth birthday. According to your lunar age, you are eighteen now. You are an adult now. You need to learn to take good care of yourself, okay? If you have any questions, just tell Aunt Wang. Don't be afraid to bother me. I wish I had another good son like you."
Seeing that the two adults in the Lin family have become more and more unreasonable over the years, Xiaonan was still okay when he was a child, but as he grew up, he saw less and less of the adults.
Leaving Xiaonan alone at home to grow up is no different from an orphan.
Lin Nanyan lowered his eyes, "Aunt Wang, I will."
Jiang Qing glanced at the well-behaved boy in the pink shirt again and again. He was such a show-off.
She should let her mother see his hateful face in front of her and why he doesn't open his mouth to make people angry.
"Don't just talk. Come, have a bite of the cake." Jiang Shanhai glanced at the time. "It's almost two in the morning. Eat and go to bed early. You have to get up early for school tomorrow."
He turned and saw Jiang Qing, who had been standing next to him. He didn't comment on her fashionable outfit and asked, "Jiang Jiang, why don't you sit down?"
Jiang Qing:.......
She has an empty crotch, what is she sitting on!
Now I just feel a chill under my thighs and I just want to end this as soon as possible.
The birthday song was sung, and he was left to eat the cake himself.
"Dad, Mom, it's so late. I also celebrated Lin Da...Nan Yan's birthday this afternoon. I won't disturb you. I'm going to sleep first."
Without waiting for the two to react, Jiang Qing turned around, grabbed her boxer shorts tightly with both hands, and trotted out the door with her legs tucked together.
"......" Jiang Shanhai turned around, "What happened to Jiang Jiang?"
Wang Hong was also confused. "I don't know. Maybe he fell asleep."
"It's okay, we just need to eat." Jiang Shanhai cut the cake and handed it to Xiaonan. He turned around and was surprised to find that the boy's face was steaming. He wondered, "What's wrong? Is it too hot? I don't think the air conditioner is set too high."
Lin Nanyan was extremely embarrassed. He forced himself to clear all distracting thoughts, took the cake and swallowed it whole, trying to remain calm. "I'm not hot."
"That's good." Jiang Shanhai's gaze suddenly froze.
Lin Nanyan belatedly followed his gaze and his exposed swollen fingers moved unconsciously.
Jiang Shanhai asked hesitantly, "Who bit you? Do you want to get a rabies shot?"
A circle of small teeth marks was clearly visible on the boy's white fingers, and the flesh was swollen with a hint of erosion.
Lin Nanyan hid his index finger uncomfortably. "A child bit me. I didn't have time to hide. She was alive and well, and didn't carry any germs."
"Don't be careless," Jiang Shanhai warned worriedly, "You should go to the hospital for an infectious disease test..."
He was speaking when Wang Hong's arm knocked the last word out of his voice.
Wang Hong pulled Jiang Shanhai's arm and pulled him up from the sofa. "We won't disturb you anymore. Go to bed early, Xiaonan."
Lin Nanyan quickly put down what he was holding and saw the two elders out.
Before leaving, Wang Hong hesitated to speak and turned back, "Xiao Nan, drink less alcohol in the future. Alcohol has no benefits."
Lin Nanyan was stunned. He lowered his head and sniffed his collar. Sure enough, the clothes he hadn't changed in time were stained with the smell of alcohol.
He looked up and replied with a smile, "I understand, Aunt Wang."
As soon as the door closed, Wang Hong's smile immediately changed.
"I haven't eaten a single bite yet..." Jiang Shanhai was dragged out of the room with a confused look on his face. Seeing Wang Hong's expression, he immediately hung up the phone.
But it was too late. Wang Hong couldn't help but vent her anger on him, "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. If you keep eating, something bad will happen to your daughter, you know?"
Jiang Shanhai was startled, "What happened to Jiang Jiang?"
Wang Hong glared at the clueless guy and said, "Let me ask you, who left the teeth marks on Lin Nanyan's finger?"
"It was a child, didn't Xiaonan say..." Jiang Shanhai paused suspiciously, then laughed, "You're not saying it was Jiang Jiang who bit it, are you?"
"No, why did Jiang Jiang bite Xiaonan?" Jiang Shanhai couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Keep your voice down," Wang Hong glanced at him. The two of them were squatting at the door of their house. She glanced around and saw that it was late at night and fortunately no one had come. "Don't shout."
Jiang Shanhai quickly covered his mouth, but couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "What do you mean? Don't speak halfway."
"You should ask your daughter." Wang Hong was deeply shocked today. She was now in a state of doubt about her life. Everything connected. "Your daughter was taking a shower at a boy's house late at night, wearing his clothes. What do you mean?"
"!!!" Jiang Shanhai's voice floated up, "They..."
"Don't think too much!" Wang Hong warned urgently.
Jiang Shanhai breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good."
Seeing Wang Hong's serious face, Jiang Shanhai advised, "Don't worry. It's normal for two children to like each other after growing up together."
Wang Hong glared at him angrily. "What do you mean by normal? You're just too careless."
Jiang Shanhai said innocently, "Xiao Nan grew up under our care. His character and personality are obvious to all. If the two of them stay together, our daughter won't be the one bullied."
"I'm afraid..." Wang Hong stopped mid-sentence.
"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Shanhai looked at her. "Are you worried that being together as a couple will affect their studies, or are you afraid that they might cross the line?"
"I'm not saying anything, but look at our daughter's grades, and then look at Xiaonan's timid look as he blushes when touched. Why are you worrying about something that doesn't exist?"
Wang Hong: "...You don't have to be so blunt."
"Jiang Jiang and Xiao Nan aren't rebellious kids. They know what's going on. Whether they're together or apart, it's just a life experience." Jiang Shanhai pulled the key out of his pocket. "Believe it or not, the more adults interfere, the worse the consequences will be."
Wang Hong pushed the door open and went in. "I don't want to get involved, but do you think Xiaonan's parents will just stand by and watch if they find out?"
"They've ignored it for so many years," Jiang Shanhai paused, "That...that shouldn't be the case."
Wang Hong rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't bring up things you're not sure about."
Jiang Shanhai closed his mouth and watched his wife listening attentively to the movements in their daughter's room. After a long time, she waved and motioned him to go back to the room.
At two o'clock in the morning, Wang Hong and Jiang Shanhai sat cross-legged on the bed and had a heated discussion about their daughter's emotional problems.
On the other side, Jiang Qing was lying on the bed in a cotton nightgown. After a while, the person on the bed suddenly raised her legs high and rolled over.
It's over, she's done, she didn't take the dirty clothes!
Jiang Qing felt hot all over whenever she thought of Lin Nanyan coming into the bathroom and seeing her clothes piled on one side and her underwear hidden in the bathtub.
Why the hell did she have to go to his house to take a shower?
Oh, it's to hide from her mother.
That's okay.
Jiang Qing turned over and lay flat on her back, feeling hopeless.
After pausing for a moment, she got up again hoping for a lucky break and took out her old cell phone.
A buzzing sound was heard, and a naked white finger with water dripping down and a circle of teeth marks on it scratched the screen.
[Ginger Cat: Do you want to take a shower today? I think the bathtub is a bit dirty. Showering is more comfortable. I sincerely recommend it.]
[Ginger Cat: Don’t touch my clothes. I’ll get them myself tomorrow. Please don’t touch them.]
The air was filled with mist. Lin Nanyan hung the shower head back in its original position. He wiped the water droplets from his face, and his eyes involuntarily drifted to the balcony.
Although he couldn't see clearly through the wall, he knew that there were several women's clothes hanging on the rope and drying.
He looked away, put down his phone, and didn't know how to respond.
Jiang Qing gritted her teeth and looked at her phone for a long time, which was full of spam messages.
What happened to Lin Dagou?
Did he watch it or not?
Why are you so slow?
With a beeping sound, Jiang Qing quickly picked it up and clicked it.
[Lin Dagou: Got it]
???
What does he mean? What does it mean to know?
It probably means agreed.
Jiang Qing breathed a sigh of relief and threw her phone aside. The embarrassment she felt finally subsided. Her mind calmed down and she suddenly remembered the girl from the daytime.
The girl named Feng Ruoyi, and the kiss that she didn't see clearly.
The scenes of the day flashed before her eyes and she couldn't get rid of them. Jiang Qing got up irritably and turned on a night light.
"Arithmetic sequence Sn = ..."
He calculated over and over again, and he would lose himself in thought again without knowing when.
Water splashed onto the pages, blurring the black writing. Jiang Qing wiped them with the back of her hand and continued, "AB parallel ED..."
The lights at night gradually go out, and a new sun will always rise.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and shone brightly on Jiang Qing's eyelids.
When she woke up, she felt uncomfortable all over, her legs and feet were numb, and her head was dizzy from a hangover. Jiang Qing straightened her back stiffly, and she could feel her bones crackling every time she moved.
Jiang Qing stood up slowly and clumsily, supporting herself on the table with her hands.
A feeling of pain and numbness spread throughout her body along her veins. She suddenly froze in place, grimacing in pain, not daring to move.
It was quiet outside the door. There was no sound of her parents washing or eating, and no one came to call her to get up.
There is something very wrong with eight points of normality.
