my Mr. Ruffian

Chapter 178 Obscure
Jiang Yingjing didn't speak, and stood back to the window where he was standing before.He has always disliked children, so asking him to celebrate Jiang Langlang's birthday is really embarrassing for him.

In the past, even if he wanted to come, he would come and have a meal before leaving.When I got home, I kept yelling that I had a headache from the noise.

Cheng Xiao was indeed a little hungry, the pastry was freshly baked, exuding a tempting sweet aroma.She couldn't resist the temptation, twisted a piece and ate it.

With his back against the window, Jiang Yingjing smoked a cigarette, looked at Cheng Xiaoye for a while, and then suddenly asked, "Xiaoye, how are you?"

His voice was low, his handsome face was immersed in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Cheng Xiao also nodded, afraid that he might not see him, so he hummed lightly.The two were speechless at this point, Jiang Yingjing glanced sideways out of the window, took another puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled the smoke, after a while, he said again: "Dad is not in good health recently, can you go back to have a meal?" ?”

Cheng Xiao also never thought that he would invite him back to Jiang's old house for dinner, so he couldn't react for a while, and was in a daze.

Jiang Yingjing lowered his head and smoked, without urging her.Cheng Xiao also came back to his senses, only feeling sore and heavy in his heart.

The second elder of the Jiang family treated her well, but she no longer wanted to get involved in the past.At this time, if you go back to eat, you will inevitably misunderstand the elders.Perhaps, there will be hope.

She chewed the pastry in her mouth slowly, and said sorry softly.

Although Jiang Yingjing had expected this answer.But when the light and ethereal voice sounded in the quiet study room, his body still stiffened unconsciously.

After a while, he said nothing.The voice was dry and astringent, and he couldn't help coughing as soon as he finished speaking.During this period of time, I smoked a lot, got a little cold, and my throat became inflamed.

His cough, which seemed to be coughing up his lungs, was extremely ear-piercing in the study. With a little expectation in his heart, he looked up at the person, only to see that she was eating the pastry slowly, as if Did not hear the same.

Jiang Yingjing couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, the sharp pain made him unable to straighten up.Amidst bursts of broken coughing, he thought of the past.

In the past, whenever he had a cold, she would get him medicine in the middle of the night.Sometimes he has a fever, and she will take his temperature several times a night.

He himself found it troublesome, but she took the trouble to fetch water to wipe his body, or cook ginger soup in a simple way to coax him to drink it.What he hates the most is ginger, and she has to be coaxed patiently before he is willing to take a few sips.

She took the trouble to get something in the middle of the night, but he only drank a little childishly, and she was not angry, and continued next time.

Jiang Yingjing's vision was blurred, and his handsome face was in the shadows, terrified and sad.

Cheng Xiao also only ate three pieces of pastry, said softly, "I'm going out", and walked out without waiting for Jiang Yingjing's answer.

The door was gently closed, and Jiang Yingjing curled up for a long time, not even noticing that the fireworks were burning close to his hand.

Cheng Xiao also walked out of the study, and stood blankly at the window at the far end of the corridor for a while before going downstairs.

The smell of food was already coming from the kitchen, the living room was still noisy, and Cheng Xiao also walked into the yard.Lu Fang has stopped teaching a few children to do puzzles and is patting the ball.

A few boys were sweating from playing, while a few little girls watched enviously.

Cheng Xiao also sat down on the steps, and after looking at it for a while, stared blankly at the colorful flowers blooming in the small garden surrounded by the fence on the left.

Lu Fang played with a few children for a while, walked to Cheng Xiaoye and sat down on the stone ladder, seeing that her face was not looking well, he gently rubbed her hair, and said softly: " What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?"

Cheng Xiao also opened the corner of his mouth and smiled, shaking his head.Lu Fang reached out and brushed the bangs on her forehead again, and took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to her as if by magic.

Cheng Xiao also took it with a smile, peeled it off and started eating.Just after taking two bites, Jiang Langlang ran over and pulled Lu Lufang to pick flowers for him.

Cheng Xiao also threatened him that he would be beaten by Zhuang Xiaoyan, but he arrogantly said that he planted those flowers, and he could pick them as he wanted.

Lu Fang was entangled by him and had no choice but to take him to pick flowers.Jiang Langlang was quite understanding, so he looked for a pair of scissors for Lu Fang.

Cheng Xiao just sat there, nibbled on the chocolate, and looked at them.I don't know if it was the tea I just drank or what, the chocolate was so sweet that my tongue felt a little bitter, but she ate it slowly.

Jiang Langlang is like a little adult, directing Lu Fang in the small garden, cutting one or two of each kind of flower, and it will be a colorful bunch in no time.

He wasn't greedy either, he nodded in satisfaction and told Lu Fang to stop working.Several children and an adult muttered in the garden for a while, not knowing what to say.

As the sun sets, the afterglow casts a warm yellow halo on the yard.The noise of the children gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

Cheng Xiao also looked at Jiang Langlang and the others muttering boredly. He lowered his head and took out his phone to check the time, then started playing a small game.

Not long after, the sound of light or heavy messy footsteps approached, and she knew that Lu Fang had returned with a group of children.So he quit the game, put the phone back in the bag, and looked up.

Lu Fang stood in front of him holding a hastily tied bunch of colorful flowers and looked at her, his handsome face was full of tenderness.

Cheng Xiao was also dumbfounded, his body tensed for no reason.Lu Fang was more or less cramped, but Jiang Langlang whispered behind him: "Uncle Lu, hurry up, hurry up."

Lu Fang's face was slightly red, his Adam's apple moved but he still didn't move.

Seeing that Lu Fang remained silent for a long time, Jiang Langlang and the children were in a hurry, and the children's voices of "hurry up, hurry up" sounded in the yard.

One child even muttered in a low voice: "Why is uncle so thin-skinned? My father said that when he proposed to my mother, he followed my mother around the street with flowers in his arms."

He does not mean that.When these words reached Cheng Xiaoye's ears, his body became even more stiff, his face turned slightly pale, and his whole body was as stiff as a puppet.

The child's words naturally reached Lu Fang's ears, but he didn't respond. After a while, he gently handed the flowers to Cheng Xiaoye, and winked at her quietly.

He didn't say anything, just simply sent flowers.Cheng Xiaoye's tense body suddenly relaxed, and he didn't care about the disappointed sighs of the booing children, and said thank you softly.

When I reached out to take the flowers, I realized that the palms of my hands were already wet with sweat.

The children led by Jiang Langlang were a little disappointed with Lu Fang, and when they heard Zhuang Xiaoyan calling for dinner, they hurriedly dispersed after a few murmurs.

Lu Fang didn't feel unnatural in any way, and stretched out his hand to pull Cheng Xiaoye.Cheng Xiao also smiled, and gently wiped the sweat from his hands on the coat before handing it to him.

Lu Fang's palms were warm and thick, and he didn't let go of her back after pulling her up.Cheng Xiao was also a little uncomfortable, but he didn't struggle to get away.

Lu Fang tightened his grip a little, bowed his head and smiled softly, and stretched out his other hand to stroke Cheng Xiaoye's bangs covering his eyes.

Cheng Xiao also let him dial, and stood stiffly.It wasn't until he said softly, let's go in, that he smiled and breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

The two turned around, only to see Jiang Yingjing leaning against the pillar in front of the door, and he had stood there for an unknown amount of time.

Lu Fang didn't let go of Cheng Xiaoye's hand, he stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "When did President Jiang come over?"

Jiang Yingjing's eyes fell on the holding hands, a little vague.But still smiled slightly, "It's been a while."

Lu Fang smiled and stopped talking.Looking down at Cheng Xiaoye, he said softly, "You're hungry, let's go in."

After finishing speaking, he nodded slightly towards Jiang Yingjing, and then walked inside holding Cheng Xiaoye's hand.

Jiang Yingjing straightened his body, and only when the sound of the two people's footsteps gradually faded away did he take out a cigarette with trembling hands and light it.

When Jiang Yu came in from the outside, he saw Jiang Yingjing leaning against the pillar smoking a cigarette silently, his body covered with inexplicable sadness.

Jiang Yingjing has always been a fool and a smiley man, when did he ever act like this.Jiang Yu sighed, wanted to comfort him but couldn't do so, approached and patted him on the shoulder, the two of them stood for a while before entering the living room.

Because the dining room couldn't fit, a table was also placed in the living room.The children had already sat down around the table, and Lu Fang and Cheng Xiao were also arranged to sit at the back.Because the familiar adults also sat down, only she, Lu Fang and the parents of the other two children were seated in the innermost seats.

When Jiang Yingjing came in, he was naturally arranged to sit with them.He didn't refuse, and sat opposite Cheng Xiaoye.

Already hungry, everyone was not polite, greeted each other a few words and started eating.Lu Fang served Cheng Xiaoye gently and thoughtfully, and asked Cheng Xiaoye what he wanted to eat in a low voice from time to time.

Cheng Xiao was also not at ease, he kept his head down and ate, and would not refuse anyone who came.Jiang Yingjing didn't eat much, and left the table after drinking half a bowl of soup.

Jiang Yu thought he was going to leave, and chased him out to let him eat cake later.Jiang Ying nodded in response, and the figure quickly left the living room.

The dishes on the table were very rich, and Cheng Xiao also felt like chewing wax, and was afraid that Lu Fang would think that she was not feeling well, so he kept on eating.He didn't put down his chopsticks until he had eaten as much as usual.

Everywhere was full of children's crisp and childish laughter. It was obviously a joyous occasion, but Cheng Xiaoye's heart was indescribably depressed.After eating, I sat on the sofa and watched cartoons and never moved.At the end, I didn't even know the name of the cartoon.

She was going to leave, but Zhuang Xiaoyan kept her to eat the cake.And Lu Fang went upstairs to talk with Jiang Yu again, so he had to sit down again.
