Chapter 41(1/2)
Qiao Nan: "What do you think?"
Mu Xiang looked at him in a daze.
His eyes were so deep that it was endless under the night and neon lights. Mu Xiangxiang tried to find some emotions in his smiley expression, but he still looked as frivolous as before.
Mu Xiangyao holds his breath, is he serious?
Qiao Nan did not get an answer immediately. After the atmosphere was quiet for five seconds, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "You..."
Mu Xiangxiang seemed to be suddenly reminded by his voice and blurted out: "Are you confessing to me?"
Qiao Nan: “…”
"Hello!"
Then he suddenly found his voice as if he was pinched by someone, and then he began to explain quickly: "...I'm just analyzing this possibility and just talking casually! Our physical condition is now, can you really find a woman in the future? Let's not talk about whether you can...that...tsk!"
The topic seemed to be a little wrong. Qiao Nan frowned fiercely. The leaves that were originally playing with were about to be pinched. He turned his head and stared back sharply: "Where did you come from so many questions? Just answer it well! Now I am taking the initiative to sacrifice myself, okay?"
Mu Xiang: "..."
She took the lead in looking away: "Oh."
Qiao Nan was still dissatisfied: "What does it mean?"
Mu Xiangyan couldn't tell what she was now. She lowered her eyes, turned around and walked towards the direction of the house: "... Then you really sacrificed a lot."
Qiao Nan: “…………………”
Qiao Nan: "Hey—"
Mu Xiangya walked in front of him with his back to him. Neither of them could see the other party's reaction. Qiao Nan grabbed his hair anxiously at the position where Mu Xiangya couldn't see it and quickly chased after him. Unfortunately, Mu Xiangya was no longer willing to pay attention to him. His eyes were always staring elsewhere, and his temperament changed back to the plain and calm look before coming to the hospital.
Qiao Nan: “…”
Covering his face and sighing.
Qiao Nan picked up a stone and threw it into the distance anxiously. The flat stone slab immediately jumped lightly on the water surface. He jumped four or five times in a row before silently silently at the bottom of the water. The calm water surface was immediately harassed and rippled.
He squatted on a landscape stone beside the shore and stared at the wrinkled pool water. He could also hear the necessary accompaniment of the elderly in the park for square dances. Not far away, there were all stalls for playing erhu, playing saxophone, playing Go and chess, and fortune telling and palmistry. The city west park has always been so lively at night.
The new home where the Mu family moved was a little far away from here. Qiao Nan hadn't been passing by here for a long time. The most recent time I heard that Mu Xiang was brought to trouble by Cao Wei and led Yan Zhiyang and the others to come. However, the scope of the activity was mainly near the pavilion and was not close to the pond.
The incident of a child falling into the water has brought considerable changes to the park. A circle of fences has been built around the pond and several eye-catching warning signs have been erected. Qiao Nan's eyes turned around the warning signs and then quietly landed on Mu Xiangxiang, who was standing against the tree trunk on the side.
Mu Xiangyao looked at the pond in a daze, and what he remembered was the day when the two sides met here.
Qiao Nan appeared on the gravel road leading to the pavilion wearing an indescribable school uniform with an ordinary black down jacket, which was no different from the dazzling appearance in his memory. He glanced at her lightly while calling, with his eyes looking at strangers.
Then he explained to his friend on the phone that he "met met a student from Yingcheng."
However, for Qiao Nan, she is indeed just a "Yingcheng student".
"Hey, are you angry enough?" The other party's voice suddenly came from a distance. Mu Xiangxiang looked over and met Qiao Nan's bright eyes that reflected the waves and lights.
Qiao Nan's squatting posture was very bold. Even with a girl's body, he could not hide his arrogance that was always coming out of his bones. Mu Xiang was paused when she saw it. She wanted to say that she was not angry. The girl who was drifting in her sight had already clapped her hands and stood up with her knees. The girl stretched lazily, jumped down from the stone, put her hands in her pocket, and turned to her and sighed: "I'm hungry, go and have some food with me."
Next to the West City Park, there is a short night snack food street, with red lanterns that I still don’t want to take down for a long time after the New Year. The noisy voices of the food stalls and the aroma of food filled the world. As soon as they slipped down, there were all kinds of crayfish, skewers, hot pot, stinky tofu.
Qiao Nan walked in front with the motorcycle keys in his hand: "What do you want to eat?"
Mu Xiangxiang had no appetite: "Whatever."
Qiao Nan, who was in front, looked back at her, and for some reason he seemed to sigh helplessly. Then he pulled his hair and looked around: "Is barbecue OK?"
Mu Xiangxiang nodded indifferently.
The barbecue stall is located at the entrance of the food street, and the business is very good. The dining area behind is full of seats, and diners are having fun fighting. The boss is a chubby bald man, squinting his eyes and focusing on grilling food in the smoke and fire. The heat of the charcoal fire makes the meat and fat sizzle in the high temperature.
Qiao Nan pointed to the ingredients in several rows of rows of food on the stall: "Do you eat lamb skewers?"
"casual."
"How many strings of small yellow croaker?"
"casual."
"Where is the squid? How many skewers of squids are roasted?"
"Whatever."
After repeating the above similar conversations a few times, Qiao Nan was so anxious that he really didn't know how to coax them. The boss holding the skewers behind the stall couldn't listen at this time. He couldn't help but speak to Mu Xiang with disagreement: "I said handsome little guy, why are you angry when you come out for dinner with your girlfriend? Your girlfriend cares so much about you. Don't be so petty if we have any conflicts with our big men. Isn't it you who really makes people sad and feel distressed?"
After thinking for two seconds, Mu Xiang realized that the other party was saying this to him. He felt that he had complained countless times and didn't know which one to refute first: "...Well, you misunderstood, I'm not angry, and he is not me..."
"Boss." Qiao Nan suddenly interrupted her, pointed to the ingredients he had asked just now and said, "I'll give you ten strings of this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, you're going to be spicy?"
He turned around and asked Mu Xiang.
Mu Xiangxiang was stunned at his gaze, but Qiao Nan did not get an answer and turned around: "Forget it, just put less spicy, it seems that the food at home is quite light."
The boss lady, who was also chubby at the barbecue stall, quickly gathered ingredients into the tray, and moved between them while closing her eyes. After putting the inexplicable atmosphere between them, she smiled and looked for topics to chat with Qiao Nan: "Your boyfriend's temper is really similar to my husband, stubborn and depressed, and she likes to keep everything in her heart."
Qiao Nan glanced at Mu with a smile in the boss's helpless tone and thought: "What can I do? I can only give in."
"Yes." The boss lady also smiled, "Who told us to fall into trouble?"
The big and thick bald boss immediately felt embarrassed, and stomped his feet and started shouting a bunch of words like "When am I stubborn and dull?" Mu Xiangyan stared at Qiao Nan in a sudden laugh and scolding in front of him, and finally turned his head in Qiao Nan's unclear sight, staring at a dozen oysters.
When the boss handed her the bag with the baked goods to her, she kept talking and persuaded her: "Okay, handsome guy, what conflicts do the couple have? If you have such a beautiful girlfriend, you should know to cherish it..."
Mu Xiang thought that he did not refute, and secretly agreed with the boss's evaluation of "Qiao Nan" very beautifully.
Will it be a bad brain to exchange body with Qiao Nan for too long? No matter how you think, it has changed?
The stall she almost ran away from was found in secluded places, and the fragrance emanated from the opened plastic bag. With a puff, Qiao Nan opened a can.
"Do you want it?" Qiao Nan asked casually after finding out her look, then thought of something, picked up a bottle of Coke from the bag and opened it and handed it over, "You'd better drink this."
The river breeze blew towards them, and they were standing on the embankment. Qiao Nan leaned over and leaned against the railing, looked at the night view across the river and quietly drank a sip of beer.
Mu Xiangyao also drank the cold Coke and turned to look at him. He was drinking, but Qiao Nansong's two fingers were holding the can and staring blankly, which was a distinct temperament from ordinary people. He seemed to be in a daze. After a while, he came back to his senses and pushed the paper bag towards Mu Xiangyao: "Eat."
Mu Xiangyao held the can in both hands and shook his head: "I have no appetite."
Qiao Nan stared at her for a while and sighed again. This was no longer known how many times he had sighed today. Then, after closing his eyes hard, he turned to look back at the night view.
Mu Xiangyao stared at the barbecue that he bought but no one moved, and suddenly heard him calling his name.
He said, "I'm afraid of you."
Mu Xiang: "??"
He was fucked in his head: "As for you? He was so angry."
Mu Xiangyao leaned back and tried to avoid his hand: "...I didn't--"
After she hid, Qiao Nan couldn't even get what she wanted on tiptoe. She whispered and simply reached out to grab her ears. Mu Xiangyan was forced to lower her head by being grabbed by the earlobe, and her cheeks on both sides were immediately pinched.
Qiao Nan pinched her cheek and looked unhappy: "I can't speak, okay?"
He was obviously not used to giving in. When he said this, his brows were almost tied, but he still insisted: "You tm really think I am Lei Feng! I have never passed the exam since I was a child!"
Mu Xiangyao, who was about to struggle, was stunned when he heard this and looked at him in confusion.
"Hey!" Qiao Nan was so angry that she was so slow and stupid that she grabbed her cheek and shook hard. "Do you understand? I don't have such a great sentiment at all. Why do you want to sacrifice yourself if you have nothing to do!"
He let go of his hands, Mu Xiangyan stood up straight while covering his face that was pinched and hurt, and subconsciously took a sip of Coke to shock him.
Mu Xiangxi: "…………”
Qiao Nan: “…”
Mu Xiang: "..."
Qiao Nan: “…”
The atmosphere was frozen. Qiao Nan swept her lips, which were wet with Coke, coughed and turned her head away, picked up the beer that was resting on the dam platform and took a sip: "That's it."
Mu Yaoyan was already stupid, and even paused for a few seconds. She covered her face and looked at Qiao Nan's series of movements in a daze, and suddenly her face turned red.
She pursed her lips and was at a loss for a while, and turned to look at Jiang. The corners of her mouth could not control the rising curve.
After a long time, Qiao Nan's irritable voice drifted away from the river wind-
"Hey, why are you so edible? At least you can leave me a skewer of lamb skewers!"
"I'm hungry."
"Didn't you just say that you don't have an appetite?"
“I’m hungry now.”
"Fuck, these are all over forty, and add two bottles of Coke. What should you do if you eat so much at night without exercising your abdominal muscles!"
"I'm hungry."
“#¥@%¥…………”
After a series of swear words.
Qiao Nan: "Do you want grilled squid?"
"Um."
