Although Tonghua lived next door to their house, Zhou Rongsheng saw Tonghua less and less often because he had no chance to take people to and from get off work and his grandmother didn't come forward to help him. Before Zhou Rongsheng could figure out how to chase Tonghua, he saw a man standing outside Tonghua's yard.
Zhou Rongsheng carefully observed the man through the gap at the door for a while. The man looked unfamiliar. Zhou Rongsheng had never seen him before. The man stared at the courtyard where Tonghua was with a frown. There were many cigarette butts piled under his feet. It was obvious that the man had been wandering here for a long time.
After making up his mind, Zhou Rongsheng picked up a shoulder pole nearby and shouted towards the door: "Who are you and what are you doing here?!"
Zhou Rongsheng looked at the man very vigilantly. Although the man looked handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, and did not seem like a thief, one should not judge a person by his appearance. What if the man saw a woman living there and came to scout the place? Then she would be in danger.
The man saw Zhou Rongsheng cowering out of the small courtyard next door, still holding a "weapon" in his hand. Instead of answering him, he asked confidently, "Who are you? As far as I know, there's only an old man living next door."
Suddenly, Zhou Rongsheng felt like he was facing a great enemy. The man in front of him not only knew that only his grandmother lived here, but he probably also knew that only a young woman named Tonghua lived next door.
How long has this man been observing the situation here?
Knowing that these two courtyards were inhabited by two women, one old and one young, and feeling that they had no power to resist, they actually started to step on them in broad daylight?
Both men suspected that the other was a person with bad intentions and felt that the other's behavior was suspicious. Just when the two were at loggerheads and deadlocked, Tonghua came back from get off work.
Before Zhou Rongsheng could remind Tong Hua to be careful, she saw the man and said, "Senior Mu, you're finally back!"
Senior?! They know each other?!
The crime scene instantly turned into a family reunion scene?
After the three of them sat down, Zhou Rongsheng realized that the man was not the "criminal suspect" he thought, but Mu Feng, a friend that Tonghua had known in college.
After figuring out the whole story, Zhou Rongsheng stood up embarrassedly and wanted to shake hands with Mu Feng to apologize.
Zhou Rongsheng held out his hand: "I just misunderstood you and mistook you for a thief. I'm really sorry!"
This made Tonghua laugh so hard that tears welled up in his eyes. "When my senior was in school, he had a lot of crushes on him. If they heard you mistook him for a thief, they'd probably drown you in spit... So, how do you think he's a thief?"
Mu Feng sat there, showing no intention of standing up to shake hands. Zhou Rongsheng's hand stayed in the air for a long time, and finally he had to retract his hand as if nothing had happened, touching his nose awkwardly.
This matter was indeed his fault, and it was understandable that others did not accept his apology. Fortunately, Tonghua did not see it, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing to embarrass himself in front of the person he liked!
Zhou Rongsheng was still feeling thankful that Tonghua didn't see this scene, but he didn't know that all this was done on purpose by Mu Feng.
Just by looking at the fairy tale from time to time and unconsciously revealing a silly smile, Mu Feng knew that this kid must be interested in fairy tales.
This kid actually tried to poach his people while he was away. It depends on whether he can deal with him or not!
Just now, Mu Feng deliberately did not shake hands with Zhou Rongsheng when Tonghua was not looking, just to give him a warning.
A cold light flashed in Mu Feng's eyes. This boy is still a little naive if he wants to snatch the woman from him!
Zhou Rongsheng, who was sitting nearby, suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He looked up at the sky in confusion and found that the weather was beginning to change and it looked like the temperature was going to drop.
Well, it must be because I’m not wearing enough that my back feels cold. I have to go back immediately and put on more clothes to avoid catching a cold.
Zhou Rongsheng suddenly stood up and said, "Then I'll go over first. You guys can take your time to reminisce about the past!"
Tonghua waved at him: "Okay, take care!"
Seeing the other party completely leave here, Mu Feng asked unexpectedly: "Who is that man?"
"Grandma Zhang's grandson next door, his name is Zhou Rongsheng, he just came back a while ago."
Mu Feng then asked, "You have a good relationship with him?"
Tonghua thought for a moment and said, "Emnnnnnnn, he is a very filial man. He has helped me a lot during this period."
Her relationship with Zhou Rongsheng was based on her relationship with Grandma Zhang. If it weren't for Grandma Zhang, they wouldn't have known each other. But that was all, after all, they had only known each other for a short time.
Unexpectedly, Mu Feng said sarcastically: "Huh, I just left not long ago, and you're already having a hot affair with another man!"
These words were so harsh that Tonghua's face, which had been smiling, immediately turned expressionless. "He and I are just ordinary friends. Besides, even if I'm having a passionate affair with another man, it has nothing to do with you, Senior!"
Tonghua emphasized the word "irrelevant", and Mu Feng knew that she was angry.
Mu Feng immediately panicked and began to apologize: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have interfered too much in your life."
It was obvious from what she saw just now that there was no ambiguity between Tonghua and that man. Even if there was any affection, it was the man's unrequited love. Tonghua might not even know that the other party liked her. But because of his damn possessiveness, he couldn't help being jealous and blurted out these hurtful words. He really deserved to die!
Knowing that he had said something wrong, Mu Feng felt extremely regretful. He had clearly gotten closer to Tonghua before he left. If Tonghua pushed him away again because of this incident, he would have to slap himself hard to vent his anger.
Tonghua suddenly lost the desire to reminisce about the past. She turned around, facing Mu Feng with her back, and said, "Senior Mu, you should go back today. I'm a little tired."
When she was in school, she had to endure other people's malicious speculation about her relationship with a man, but she didn't expect that after returning, she would still have to endure the speculation from people around her.
She really had enough!
Mu Feng looked at Tong Hua's back and had a lot to say and explain, but he knew Tong Hua was in no mood to listen to him, so he just said, "Then have a good rest. I'll come see you tomorrow."
After waiting for a while, there was no response from Tonghua, so Mu Feng left there with a feeling of loss.
