Chapter 105 A Shoe
Seeing that Nan Nan was still in the yard, Song Rui plucked up the courage to reach into his clothes.
The feeling beneath her fingers was somewhat tight, and she slowly moved her fingers upwards until she felt the scar.
"Think, can you tell me?"
Ling Ye put away his smile, his eyes fell deeply on her lips, and finally he turned his head away uncomfortably, stood up, moved the cabinet at the end of the kang, and took out something from the back.
It looks like that thing is quite old.
It was wrapped in layers of wax paper and contained insect repellent.
Ling Ye held the thing in his hand and talked about what happened seven years ago in his memory.
"That year, I was 21 and had already started doing some small business with Shou Biao. We bought goods from the city and sold them in nearby towns and counties. The income was good, and when we had enough money, we bought a motorcycle."
"After selling the goods that day, I found that the tire of my motorcycle was flat, so I found a place to pump air on the edge of the county town."
Ling Ye clearly remembered that it was very hot that day.
Shou Biao ran to buy some ice soda and he stood alone on the roadside waiting.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw a few thugs on bicycles following a girl into the shantytown, and he followed them in.
It's just that they rode bikes and he walked.
In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.
The shantytown is large and messy, like a maze.
He walked quickly in the direction where the sound came from.
After walking two blocks, he saw the girl, surrounded by a few thugs on bicycles.
The girl leaned against the wall, her face turned pale with fear and her whole body trembled.
But suddenly he rushed over like a little leopard, pushed down the people and the car, stepped over and ran away.
That girl runs really fast.
This was his first impression of her.
The thugs were chasing him, and he was also chasing him at the other end of the alley.
A navy blue skirt, a pink shirt that was washed to a pale color, and pigtails on both sides.
She was as scared as a rabbit seeing an eagle, but whenever someone approached, she bared her teeth like a ferocious wild fox.
He ran a few steps quickly, blocked the way and tried to rescue the person.
But she misunderstood that she was in cahoots with those thugs, so she was slapped in the face, which hurt a lot.
That girl is really strong, that was his second impression of her.
The sky was dark.
In the remaining afterglow, she ran away as swiftly as ever, not even stopping for a moment even after falling.
Her hair was disheveled, her skirt was dirty, and her back was wet with sweat.
She looked disheveled, but her eyes still seemed to be on fire.
Burning brightly, as if it would never go out.
Ling Ye followed not far away and felt that his heart was beating very fast that day.
Finally, she ran out of the shantytown.
The thugs tried to chase him on their bikes, but he stopped them.
After a fight.
He rode his motorcycle and followed the girl on her way home.
The car lights were on, not too far away.
Until I saw her enter the house.
On the way back, he also picked up her lost shoes.
For some unknown reason, he picked up the shoes and brought them home.
Ling Ye said this, shaking the wax paper.
Inside was a white cloth shoe.
It has been so long that the shoes have turned yellow.
When it meets tears, the yellow stain spreads out like a hazy yellow moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
"So, you were injured by Chen Erliang?"
Ling Ye corrected, "Don't make it sound like your man got beaten up. I was the one who beat him up. That day, he and I became enemies. When I went to the county to sell goods again, he stopped me and we fought again. We agreed to fight one-on-one, but he couldn't beat me so he pulled out a knife."
"It was just a minor injury. It just looked scary. I didn't spare him. He was carried away by others, but I came back by myself."
Song Rui looked up, her face already covered with tears.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you ever tell me this?!"
Ling Ye saw that she was crying, and he clumsily but gently wiped her face with his fingers.
"Why do you say that? It's because I'm afraid that you'll be like this now, crying like a chicken or a bird, and I'll have to comfort you. The main thing is that I don't know how to comfort you. Can you please stop crying? I actually have some money in my pocket, I'll give it all to you."
Song Rui burst into laughter and punched him angrily, "You're still mad at me!"
Ling Ye grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and patted her back clumsily as if he was coaxing a child.
"Okay, okay, I won't be mad at you. Don't cry. If someone sees me, they'll think I'm bullying you. I just didn't tell you. Don't you think about it? In the first few years of our marriage, I was avoiding you. If I told you at that time, it would seem like I was repaying a favor. I'm a grown man and I don't want to do that."
Song Rui leaned on his shoulder, her tears dripping down onto it, burning Ling Ye so much that he didn't know what to do.
Suddenly she thought of something and asked again: "So when you asked a matchmaker to come to my house, was it because of me?"
"If I'm not targeting you, then I can only target your father."
Song Rui bit his shoulder angrily. Ling Ye took a deep breath and started talking again.
"Yes, little ancestor, the goal is clear, and it's you that I'm heading for."
"My family always urges me to get married. It's strange, but I didn't think anything of it before. But after that time, every time they urge me, I think of you."
"Later, I thought about it and thought that it would be better to marry her to my family, so I asked someone to propose marriage. Fortunately, I walked you home that night and knew where you lived."
Ling Ye had a smug smile on his face, feeling proud of his behavior that night.
The only thing he didn't mention was that he threw Shou Biao on the side of the road and threw him there for more than three minutes before returning.
"Have you been planning something bad since the beginning?"
"How could that be a bad intention? It was the first time I saw a girl running so fast and with so much strength. I was just curious about who raised her."
"You hid my shoes out of curiosity?"
Ling Ye said nothing, just hugged the person tightly.
Song Rui's face felt a little hot.
She always thought that Ling Ye had never married because he looked fierce and was not honest.
Finally, out of desperation, he had to find this country girl to make do with.
Before she got married, the villagers knew that she had chosen a boyfriend like this, and they all said that he might be a wife-beater.
Otherwise, why would a good city guy come to the village to find a wife?
She also had various speculations.
But I didn't guess that he did it because he liked it.
The word "like" has been circling around my lips for a few times, and it feels sweet in my mouth and in my heart.
But I can't say it.
Just like Ling Ye.
He may never say the word "love" to her in his entire life.
But behind the scenes, they do things related to love to the extreme.
Song Rui was held in his arms, and she rubbed his neck greedily.
He smelled very faintly of tobacco.
Driving a long-distance truck requires staying up late, and smoking is inevitable.
But he never smoked in front of her and the children.
Song Rui felt warm inside, and finally whispered, "Ling Ye, let's go get a room."
Ling Ye's body stiffened, and he asked slowly: "Are you stimulated?"
Song Rui pushed him in anger, "Forget it if you don't want to go! Get out of the way!"
"Go! Go! Go."
The man came up to her and said, "Go, I'll be there in a minute!"
