MTL - Human Greed-Chapter 46 insect
Su Yi was sitting on the sofa, and when she saw her grandma bringing snacks, she asked, "Grandma, do I still have a photo album?"
Grandma turned to look at her: "Photo album?"
Su Yi said: "That's right, didn't I have two books at the time?" She still remembered that the book had a light brown cover, and what photos were there? Su Yi forgot, grandma thought for a while: "I don't know."
She said, "Isn't it in your room?"
Su Yi shook her head: "Not here."
Grandma said: "Maybe there are too many things and it's hard to find. I'll look for them later."
Su Yi could only hum, Xu Ruoxing looked unhappy seeing her, and said, "It's not bad to read this book, was it taken when I was a child?"
Grandma sat across from them: "It was all when I was young, and I don't want to take pictures when I grow up."
Speaking of it, I still feel a little regretful, when I was a child, Su Yi liked to laugh so much, liked to take pictures, was sweet-mouthed when she met everyone, aunts and uncles kept barking, no one in the neighbors knew that she had a caring little padded jacket, and she was hugged in her arms when she went to the street inside.
At that time, Su Yi was raised by her in vain and fat, and she called her coquettishly every day: "Grandma."
After that, she never saw Su Yi like that again.
Grandma felt sad, she wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I'll cut some fruit for you."
Xu Ruoxing lowered his head and looked at Su Yi in the photo. She was fat, with round eyes, and looked cute and tight. Xu Ruoxing thought, sure enough, she was not the same as when she was a child.
Su Yi, who I met later, was not even half cute, and was indifferent and unkind.
Su Yi pointed to a photo: "One year old."
She also wore a small crown on her first year old head, and there was a small cake in front of her. There were only her and her grandma in front of the table. Xu Ruoxing turned a few pages and found that she was almost single-handed when she was a child. Silhouettes of parents.
When she was a child, she had fantasies about her parents, right?
Because I never owned it, I imagined it beautifully, so I was scarred later.
Xu Ruoxing turned to look at Su Yi, Su Yi stared at the photo album, and occasionally said: "When I was more than one year old, I accidentally broke a cup and cried in fright. My grandma came in and asked me what was wrong. I cried so loudly. She kept saying that I made a big mistake, I made a big mistake, grandma laughed so hard, and then took this picture."
Crying with tears all over his face, the flesh on his chubby face was pulled up. It was obviously a long time ago, Xu Ruoxing didn't know why it sounded very distressed.
After Su Yi finished speaking, she looked at Xu Ruoxing and found that she was staring at her with inexplicable emotions. It seemed that she was distressed. Su Yi called out: "My wife."
Xu Ruoxing saw that her face was getting clearer, her eyelashes were distinct, and her thin lips were close in front of her eyes. The sound of her grandmother's footsteps came from behind her. Xu Ruoxing lowered her head, and Su Yi's lips brushed her cheeks, leaving a faint blush.
Grandma walked into the living room, and there were washed peaches in the fruit plate. She said to Xu Ruoxing: "Su Yi used to like to eat this. When I was a child, I secretly went to Taoyuan and was chased for two blocks."
Su Yi?
It subverted Xu Ruoxing's cognition more and more.
Su Yi smiled awkwardly: "Is there, I don't remember."
"Why not." Grandma said: "Once I climbed up a tree to pick them, and then you, Uncle Zhang, yelled, and the other children ran away. You were the only one hanging on the tree, and I brought you back."
Thinking of such a scene, Su Yi was so embarrassed, she winked at her grandma frequently, but her grandma got excited when she said it, and couldn't stop breaking the news: "She was very skinny when she was a child, and she can climb mountains and trees without her."
Su Yi pinched her legs and called, "Grandma."
Grandma's eyes became hot when she heard her coquettish tone that she hadn't heard in many years. She put down the peaches and said, "Eat it. After eating, help me go to your Uncle Zhang's house to pick some more. The house is gone."
Su Yi couldn't sit still being exposed by her old background, so she immediately pulled Xu Ruoxing out. The two of them just went out when they saw everyone at the door, they were all neighbors, and Su Yi knew each other, so they greeted each other. Although Xu Ruoxing didn't know each other, they also called out people.
What aunt, what aunt, she called her all over the place today.
Su Yi pulled Xu Ruoxing out from the front door and passed by a small shop. The people inside saw her smiling: "Hey, Su Yi, come back to see your grandma?"
In the past, when Su Yi came back, she just stayed at grandma's house, came and went in a hurry, and rarely dragged Xu Ruoxing around. This was the first time, Su Yi nodded: "Yeah." After finishing speaking, she looked at Xu Ruoxing and said: " wait for me."
Seeing her enter the store, Xu Ruoxing was holding two ice creams in her hands, the same kind she used to eat when she was in school, Xu Ruoxing was stunned: "For me?"
Su Yi nodded: "Yes, did you eat this in school?"
Xu Ruoxing was really reminded of some memories of her school days, she nodded: "I have."
Su Yi unwrapped the package and handed it to Xu Ruoxing. The ice cream was purple and had a grape flavor. Xu Ruoxing ate this ice cream until he was in high school. Later, he drank more milk tea after he went to college. Now it tastes a bit nostalgic.
The ice cream is very sweet, ice-cold, and has a strong grape flavor. Su Yi said, "I like to eat this when I was in school. Which one do you like to eat in school?"
Xu Ruoxing thought: "The green one."
Su Yi reported his name, Xu Ruoxing nodded: "Yes, you eat too?"
"I've eaten it." Su Yi said, "I liked it for a while in the first year of high school."
Xu Ruoxing asked her: "Why didn't you like it later?"
"It's not that I don't like it." Su Yi frowned after thinking about it, why didn't she eat that ice cream later?
She tried hard to recall, but found that she couldn't think of anything, it was blank, but when she was a freshman in high school, she clearly liked it very much.
Xu Ruoxing said: "If you can't think of it, don't think about it."
Su Yin hummed, took a bite of the ice cream, and the two walked forward, passing by the school. It was the weekend, and there were no students. The school door was open, and the security guard was sitting at the door dozing off. Xu Ruoxing looked over: "Your middle school is here. of?"
"Yeah." Su Yi nodded. Kindergarten and elementary school followed her parents. Later she divorced, so she followed her grandma. She went to junior high school here, but high school went to the city. Xu Ruoxing said, "I'm also in the city."
"Which high school are you from?" She asked Su Yi, Su Yi went to a private school, Xu Ruoxing nodded: "There is a private school next door to us, and I went to No. 1 Middle School."
Su Yi turned her head and looked at her blankly for a few seconds.
Xu Ruoxing asked: "What's wrong?"
Su Yi said, "I'm right next door to you."
Xu Ruoxing was also surprised.
She only knew which university Su Yi was in. Later, when she went to study abroad, she never asked about the high school. It turned out that they were so close to each other. Maybe they would pass by the school gate sometime after school, maybe They have been in the same snack bar or milk tea shop near the school, or maybe...
They have seen each other before, without knowing it.
Su Yi smiled: "What a coincidence."
Xu Ruoxing nodded, it was really a coincidence, it was so coincidental that she felt palpitations, if she had known Su Yi at that time, maybe she would have pursued him first before she fell in love with someone else?
Or maybe not.
Her state at that time was not suitable for liking someone.
Seeing that her expression changed slightly, Su Yi asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing Su Yi's concerned eyes, Xu Ruoxing didn't want to scare her, so he shook his head: "It's okay."
Su Yi pursed her lips, Xu Ruoxing smiled, and took a bite of the ice cream, it was too sweet, she didn't like it before, but now she thinks it's pretty good.
The two passed through the school, and behind it was Uncle Zhang's house that grandma said. It was a big orchard, surrounded by a fence, which could prevent some small animals, but not people at all. Wait, Uncle Zhang smiled when he saw Su Yi coming: "Did your grandma ask you to come?"
Su Yi nodded, and called Uncle Zhang, Xu Ruoxing stood beside Su Yi, and also called out, Uncle Zhang was obviously very happy, and said: "Go in and pick it yourself, the new varieties go in, the far right, the ones that hung with you before." next to the tree."
Why are you talking about this again.
Su Yi's face was reddish, and it was hot. Uncle Zhang handed them two hats with long brims. The two wore hats that looked like they were picked professionally. Su Yi looked at Xu Ruoxing and smiled, and straightened the hats for her. Small, with deep and delicate facial features, she was stunned to wear this hat in the style of a runway catwalk, especially because she is tall and tall wearing a bra. Su Yi said: "Honey, have you ever been a model before?"
Xu Ruoxing said, "I haven't done it."
However, when she was in college, there were indeed several people from agency companies who wanted to sign her as a model, but she was not interested, so she refused at that time. Su Yi said: "It's quite suitable."
Xu Ruoxing followed her gaze to look at herself: "Is it suitable?"
"The proportions of the body." Su Yi said: "And the temperament, they are all suitable."
Xu Ruoxing bowed his head and smiled slightly after being praised by her. The two entered the orchard and saw a row of peach trees that were different from the others from a distance. Xu Ruoxing asked: "Is that over there?"
Su Yi nodded: "Yes."
She said to pull Xu Ruoxing in. In the afternoon, there was no one here. Uncle Zhang was busy outside, so let them toss inside. There is a ladder next to the peach tree, which is used to climb up to pick peaches. Su Yi smiled: "I used to be Climb a tree."
Xu Ruoxing looked at her, it was hard to imagine what it would be like for Su Yi to climb a tree.
It sure is fun.
Too bad I can't see it anymore.
Su Yi held a ladder in front of her, Xu Ruoxing said: "Be careful."
"It's okay." Su Yi said as she picked one and handed it to Xu Ruoxing. Xu Ruoxing put it in a basket next to her. Looking up, the sun fell on Su Yi through the gaps in the leaves, wrapping her whole body in the light, shining brightly. She kept looking up. Looking at Su Yi picking one after another, Xu Ruoxing said, "Is that enough?"
Su Yi said: "Pick some more, we'll take it home and eat."
After she finished talking, Xu Ruoxing noticed something falling from her collar, she didn't move immediately, her face changed slightly, Su Yi asked curiously when she saw that she didn't take Tao Zi: "What's wrong?"
It was difficult for Xu Ruoxing to speak: "There seems to be something on me."
Su Yi was surprised: "What?"
As she spoke, she got off the ladder and stood face to face with Xu Ruoxing. Xu Ruoxing pointed to her collar with his eyes, and Su Yi understood: "Maybe it's a bug, there are..."
Xu Ruoxing swayed, Su Yi was curious: "Honey, are you afraid of bugs?"
The person in front of her didn't answer her, just pursed her lips, her jaw line was tense, Su Yi had a lingering smile in her eyes, took off her gloves, lowered her head, pushed aside Xu Ruoxing's collar, and glanced sharply at a small green bug inside the collar. The gloves were clipped out and thrown away. Xu Ruoxing raised his head slightly and asked her, "Are you ready?"
Su Yi suppressed a smile: "Okay."
Xu Ruoxing breathed a sigh of relief, his body relaxed a little, Su Yi hummed strangely, Xu Ruoxing lowered his head: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Su Yi nodded, with a serious expression: "It seems that one of them fell inside, do you want me to take it?"
The scorching sun was shining, sweat rolled along Xu Ruoxing's collarbone into his underwear, crawling like insects and ants, itching densely, Xu Ruoxing nodded, and said with difficulty: "Yes."
