Chapter 40
Chapter 40:
Night had fallen, and when Xu Ziran arrived at the community where Qiu Yurou’s house was located, the moon had already risen, and the air was filled with the smell of damp vegetation, which penetrated from the nose to the brain.
Out of breath, Xu Ziran parked the bicycle at the door, walked to the gate, and asked Uncle Mengang to open the door.
Because Xu Ziran has been here many times, the guards at the gate already know her, so he opened the door without saying a word, just asked, “Why is it so late today…”
Xu Ziran didn’t wait for the other party to finish speaking, then waved his hand and ran into the community.
The trees in the community had grown densely with branches and leaves, blocking the faint light of the street lamps on the roadside. Xu Ziran walked to Qiu Yurou’s door in two steps, and when he was about to ring the doorbell, he suddenly calmed down.
Speaking of which, I ran here out of nowhere, wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing if nothing happened at all?
But she was already at the door, and the guards saw her, and it was a little strange to go back. Xu Ziran only hesitated for two seconds, then raised his hand and rang the doorbell.
The door was quickly opened, and Xu Ziran was stunned with the person who opened the door.
The person who opened the door was neither Aunt Chen nor Qiu Yurou, but a tall, white and thin woman. The other party looked in her thirties, wearing a white turtleneck wool sweater and black suit pants, her hair was curled into big waves and draped behind her, more From now on, Xu Ziran usually sees the dress with spicy eyes, which can be called simple and elegant.
After the other party opened the door, instead of stepping back, he took a step forward and asked, “Are you…?”
Xu Ziran recognized that this person was Qiu Yurou’s mother.
It’s just different from more than ten years later. She is not so thin now. I don’t know if it’s because of this, nor does she have the unique temperament that can grab people’s hearts at once in the future. It only makes people feel that she is well maintained and calm. Madam, the slender willow-leaf eyebrows that are raised on the top show a slightly fierce aura.
Xu Ziran was stunned for a moment, and then said, “Hello, Auntie, I’m Qiu Yurou’s classmate. I have something to tell her.”
Mother Qiu frowned slightly: “It’s so late, what’s the matter?”
Xu Ziran then said, “It’s a very important matter, and I have to say it now. If you don’t believe that I am Qiu Yurou’s classmate, I can show you your student ID card—ah, no, I don’t have a student ID card, is it okay to have a school ID card?”
Qiu’s mother did not refuse, but Xu Ziran looked at the school card handed over and asked, “What’s your name?”
“My name is Xu Ziran.” Xu Ziran was inexplicably impatient, “It’s okay to ask Qiu Yurou to come out.”
Only then did Mother Qiu finally say, “Qiu Yurou has gone out and is not at home.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Chen came out of the room.
The other party was neatly dressed and was babbling on with his bag: “Such a good child, he ran out in the middle of the night after being scolded by you, and I don’t know where he is now. I have never seen you do this shit…”
When he said this, because he looked up and saw Xu Ziran, he was surprised: “Ah, why are you here? It’s so late.”
Xu Ziran had already grasped the point and raised his voice slightly: “You mean, because you scolded Qiu Yurou, Qiu Yurou ran out so late, didn’t you!”
Qiu’s mother frowned and said: “This is our housework, and it has nothing to do with you. Your mother has not taught you, don’t you talk to your elders like this?”
Xu Ziran’s original age was not too different from the current mother Qiu, and there was no psychological pressure. Hearing this, he sneered: “Then your mother has not taught you, seeing is believing, hearing is false?!”
Qiu’s mother’s expression was extremely shocked: “you, you, how did you talk.”
Xu Ziran stepped forward: “Did you think Qiu Yurou cheated because of the dean’s phone call?”
Mother Qiu said, “Could the dean lied to me? Why did he lie to me?”
Xu Ziran then said, “Because there’s no harm in lying to you, isn’t it? You won’t believe your daughter anyway, she’s just a tool for you to show off!”
Mother Qiu shouted loudly, “What nonsense are you talking about!”
Xu Ziran asked back: “Isn’t it true, don’t you all think like this? Because I have a good education, good grades, and good income, so I force my children to do better. It’s a disappointing failure, isn’t it?!”
Mother Qiu stayed for a while, and couldn’t help but take a step back.
But when she noticed that she took a step back, she couldn’t bear to say: “Xu Ziran, right? Xu Ziran, we don’t welcome you in our family, please leave quickly, now, in the future, and in the future, don’t come!”
Xu Ziran looked at Qiu’s mother, she felt incredible.
Why is this person still in no hurry when his daughter runs away from home?
Xu Ziran couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you give birth to her?”
Qiu’s mother blurted out: “Do I want to give birth to her?”
Xu Ziran smiled “ha” because he was too shocked.
Then she stepped back down the stairs, gave Qiu’s mother a cold look, and turned to leave.
Now, she knew why Qiu Yurou, who came out of the airport, would say such a thing.
Because the other party only has the title of mother, but it really is not a mother.
After coming out of Qiu Yurou’s house, Xu Ziran was a little dazed.
Although she made up her mind to find Qiu Yurou, she had no clue if she really wanted to find it.
The night wind carried a skin-penetrating chill, which made Xu Ziran, who had not had time to add a pair of clothes, get goosebumps, and the noisy rustling sound from somewhere in the night wind also made the night even more lonely and strange.
On such a night, where would Qiu Yurou go?
Xu Ziran rode a bicycle towards the school, went around the school but found nothing, and then went back. When they reached the fork in the road where they usually separated, she suddenly felt blessed and rode in the direction of her house.
After a few streets, it was the street where her house was located. Xu Ziran looked at the alleys one after another, and fell into a daze again.
This is a remote suburb. At this point, there is no one there, and the night is shrouded in a thin moonlight. The moonlight is as pale as the wings of a cicada, and the gray walls are dyed a touch of silver.
Xu Ziran heard the frog croaking, but did not know where it came from.
Just then, she heard a cat meow.
Soft and light, thin and pointed, you can tell that this cat is very happy when you hear it.
Xu Ziran pushed the bicycle and walked in the direction of the cat’s meowing. Seeing that he had reached the direction of his own house, after turning a corner, he saw a young girl and a **** cat sitting under the pale street lamp.
This picture is like a scene written by a modern painter, with a different kind of warmth, but also inexplicably lonely.
Xu Ziran breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, she found Qiu Yurou.
Probably hearing footsteps, Qiu Yurou tilted her face slightly and raised her head.
She probably came out in a hurry, and her hair hadn’t even exploded. The long black hair covered half of her cheeks, revealing a pair of smiling eyes.
“Cumin, you found me,” she said.
Xu Ziran took a few breaths, feeling that her heart was finally returning to its original position. Just as she was about to step forward, the cat under Qiu Yurou’s hand suddenly raised its tail and barked at her with a sharper voice than before.
Xu Ziran twitched the corners of his mouth and thought to himself: I didn’t feed it a few months ago and even teased it a little, how can I hold revenge until now.
Qiu Yurou moaned “Mimi” while soothing the cat’s head, and said softly in a different voice than usual: “Rhubarb Dahuang, what’s the matter, Cumin is fine, don’t bark at her. ”
Xu Ziran received a good person card, rolled his eyes at the cat who was glaring at her from the corner of his eyes, and asked, “Fish, have you eaten dinner yet.”
Because the cat had been restless under Xu Ziran’s gaze, Qiu Yurou had to completely peel off the sausage from her hand, put it on the ground, and then clapped her hands and walked towards Xu Ziran.
Only then did Xu Ziran realize that Qiu Yurou’s state was not the same as usual.
Although the eyes of the other party are usually clear and energetic, they will never be as bright as today. Under the pale street lamps and dim moonlight, that face still reveals a fresh red, like a plump berry.
And her expression was even more different from usual and different from the future. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was very happy.
But the system did not remind the other party that they were very happy, so this happiness must be an illusion.
When Qiu Yurou approached, Xu Ziran reached out and wiped the other person’s face. After realizing that the tentacles were hot, he asked, “Do you have a fever?”
Qiu Yurou said, “No.”
Xu Ziran leaned in to smell it, frowned and said, “Have you been drinking? How could a store sell your wine?”
Qiu Yurou shrank back because of Xu Ziran’s sudden approach, but then leaned closer and said, “Just say that it was bought for parents.”
Xu Ziran said, “That’s not the problem. You are still underage, so how can you drink?”
Qiu Yurou looked puzzled: “You are still a minor, why do you speak like an adult?”
Xu Ziran simply stopped talking about this topic.
Talking to a drunk person about drinking is the most unreasonable thing in the world.
She said, “You and I will stay at my house for one night. Are you feeling all right now?”
Qiu Yurou leaned on Xu Ziran’s body: “I don’t know, but my head is a little dizzy.”
It’s not that Xu Ziran has never been drunk. She knows that Qiu Yurou’s state is a little drunk but not too drunk, which liberates her nature a little, but tomorrow she can remember everything she did today.
While thinking about whether the other party would be embarrassed tomorrow, she also thought that in the future Qiu Yurou would be a thousand cups intoxicated, and she didn’t know how much she drank today, so she asked, “How much did you drink today?”
Qiu Yurou said, “I only have enough money to buy three bottles of beer.”
Xu Ziran: “Drinking for the first time?”
Qiu Yurou: “Yeah.”
Xu Ziran’s mouth twitched: “Have you eaten dinner?”
Qiu Yurou: “…Did you eat?”
Xu Ziran sighed: “Okay.” The first time he drank, he had three bottles on an empty stomach. At this level, he could only talk about the amount of alcohol, and he still had talent.
Qiu Yurou was not really drunk. When she arrived at Xu Ziran’s house, she knew that it was not appropriate to be drunk.
Mother Xu didn’t expect her daughter to go out in the middle of the night and then bring a classmate back, she first greeted Qiu Yurou a few times, and then scolded Xu Ziran: “Run out without saying a word, do you know how worried your dad and I were just now! Do you know if you almost called the police?”
Xu Ziran also felt that he was a little impulsive in doing this, so he lowered his head and made a confession.
Yu Guang saw Qiu Yurou pursed her lips and laughed.
Xu’s mother asked the two of them if they had eaten. After hearing that they had not eaten, they chatted again and again. Xu Ziran pretended to help and told Xu’s mother what happened when Xu’s mother was cooking, and Xu’s mother said: “In this world How can there be a mother who doesn’t care about her daughter, I think her mother is also anxious.”
Xu Ziran was noncommittal.
Parents often have an authoritative image in their children’s hearts and seem to know everything, but in fact, they can only know what they are exposed to.
Mother Xu felt that mothers cared about their children simply because she had never seen a mother who didn’t care about her children.
But Xu Ziran has seen it, she has seen all kinds of strange family relationships in the future, and sometimes it can make people think that it happened in another world.
After the two had dinner, Xu Ziran thought that Qiu Yurou had been running around all night and drank wine, so she prepared to let the other party take a shower first.
