The time machine tells me [rebirth]
Chapter 71
After packing up her luggage, Jiang Muzhi went back to the hotel to pick up Liu Chen and Ji Ningchen, and waited for the two of them to go to the airport to go home, but she was the only one left in the room with a dog.Before leaving, Liu Chen also left the car keys to Jiang Muzhi.
It was almost dusk now, Jiang Muzhi was lying alone on the deck chair on the balcony, the sunset glow dyed her pretty side face red, giving her a special charm.
Simba fell asleep soundly at her feet, and there was already cold tea on the table, which dyed the thin air with a layer of plain warmth.
Jiang Muzhi played with the key in his hand, and suddenly closed his eyes and chuckled. The scene in front of him unexpectedly overlapped with the previous life, but the state of mind in the two lives was completely different.In her previous life, she was kicked out by her parents, disheartened, and had no interest in anything, but now, she is full of hope for the future.
The smile on Jiang Muzhi's lips disappeared for a moment, thinking that he hadn't called home to tell them that she wasn't coming home.So he took out his mobile phone, thought for a while, and dialed the number that he used to know so well but now only feels unfamiliar.
After four or five beeps, the phone was answered, and Jiang Muzhi was the first to speak out:
"dad."
Compared with his own mother, Jiang Muzhi has a better relationship with his father, but only a little better.She had heard her mother and father complaining more than once, saying that it was fine if she hadn't been pregnant with her back then, but her father was just silent and didn't object.
If the mother hates her, then her father probably ignores her. He doesn't care whether she goes home or not, so she chooses to call her father.
Otherwise, with her mother's character of "no matter what she does is wrong", she would have to be scolded to death.
"What's the matter?" The man's calm and somewhat indifferent voice came, which was completely different from his attitude when talking to Jiang Xuanzhi.
Jiang Muzhi's eyelashes trembled unconsciously, and the hand holding the mobile phone also trembled slightly. Her heart was full of sadness, but she was not lamenting that she could not get the father's love that others could easily get, but simply pitying The stupid and stupid me I used to be.
But she still tried her best to keep calm, and her voice was steady, and the indifference in it was surprisingly similar to the man opposite: "I won't go back during the holidays. I found an internship, which is quite far from home."
Sure enough, as Jiang Muzhi expected, Jiang Yinong didn't object to her, he just asked, "Then where do you live?"
"I'm staying at my roommate's house."
"Roommate's house?"
Although separated by the phone, Jiang Muzhi's father's frowning image already appeared in Jiang Muzhi's mind. He was over fifty but looked like he was in his thirties, with a cold light and majesty on his face.
This is her father's most classic action, and it has been imitated countless times by Jiang Muzhi, who once yearned for fatherly love.
Her throat trembled: "Yes. My roommate bought a house here, and she's home now, and it happened to be vacant, so I told her to live here temporarily."
"How can this be done? How dare you live in his house for nothing?" Jiang Yinong paused, and then asked, "Where is your internship?"
"In Chenglin District."
"Chenglin District..." Jiang Yinong tapped his index and middle fingers on the table, and after a while, let out a long breath from his nasal cavity, and said, "Our family has never bought a house in Chenglin District. Well, you live with your classmate, pay the rent according to the market price, and I will credit the rent to your card later, no problem."
Hearing this, Jiang Muzhi was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes. Then...Dad, I won't go back during the holidays."
"Okay, do it well."
Jiang Muzhi didn't make a sound, and didn't care whether Jiang Yinong could see it or not, he just nodded and hung up the phone.
She sat there quietly, maintaining a posture for a long time, until the sunset glow faded, and the cold moonlight leaped into the sky, she suddenly shook her head and laughed out loud.
She thought what her father would say... Even when she heard her father ask where she was, she still had some expectations for him.
There is no house in Chenglin District in her family, but the name of Jiang Xuanzhi is written on that house. Jiang Yinong thought she didn't know, but he didn't want her to know exactly where the real estate certificate was placed.
The relationship between the two brothers and sisters has been bad since they were young, and they even hated each other a little bit. Needless to say, she was jealous of Jiang Xuanzhi, jealous that he could have the infinite care and love of his parents.As for why Jiang Xuanzhi hates her little transparent sister, she is not clear.
If Jiang Xuanzhi knew that she was going to live in his house, and didn't know how much he would lose his temper, Jiang Yinong would not be willing to make his precious son unhappy, so he had no choice but to abandon her, a cheap daughter...
Jiang Muzhi took a deep breath, something stuck in her heart, she was actually not as sad as before, but she just felt inexplicable.
She frowned slightly, looked at Simba who was sleeping soundly at her feet, looked at her watch again, felt that the time was almost up, and stood up.
Seeing her get up, Simba's eyes lit up, and he stood up with a "bass", his big tail wagging happily.
Jiang Muzhi couldn't help being amused by his small appearance, glanced at the position of the leash, and approached there as if nothing had happened, and the moment he got the leash, he suddenly lowered his body to hug Simba.
But Simba's reaction was faster than her. He dodged Jiang Muzhi's attack, rushed to the bedroom without looking back, and got under the bed.
Jiang Muzhi followed closely behind, and while Simba's short legs were still pawing on the ground, he grabbed his hind leg, and grabbed his other hand, dragged Simba out, and hugged him in his arms.With crooked eyebrows and eyes, he smiled as if he was a teenager: "I caught you."
Simba's little ears drooped down, his big eyes were full of grievances, and he looked pitiful.
Jiang Muzhi couldn't help laughing more happily, rubbed Simba's head, his gentle eyes seemed to drip water: "Okay, be good, I know you don't like being led, but we have to be civilized Point, isn't it? Your elder sister has urged me to let you go."
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Muzhi asked Simba uncertainly: "It's my sister, right? You should be of the same generation as Coke. Ah Chen shouldn't be so hard-pressed. Let's be your mother..."
Jiang Muzhi doesn't know what's going on at home. Her mother may be the same as before, sarcastically mocking her from head to toe. Not as good as Jiang Xuan and the like...
However, I must be happy in my heart.
While being dragged forward by Simba, Jiang Muzhi uncontrollably recalled the events of his previous life.
At this time in her previous life, she couldn't go home either, and her father and mother's WeChat blocked her, only Jiang Xuanzhi didn't.
On New Year's Eve, she saw Jiang Xuanzhi post a circle of friends, located in Sydney, Australia. The content was: We are a family of three, and there is a photo of the three of them. His smiling wife.
Everyone's circle of friends is having a carnival, but Jiang Muzhi is just alone, sitting on the balcony of Liu Chen's house, accompanied by the street lights outside the window, and the fireworks that burst into the sky and exploded, staying up all night , and even then, not even Simba was next to her.
She thought her new year was over like this, lonely, lonely, and accompanied by shadows, but she didn't want to hear a sudden knock on the door at nine o'clock the next morning.
Outside the door was Rong Feijin, whose nose and face were flushed from the cold, and her boots were still covered with soiled snow. When she saw her, she threw herself into her arms.
The cold coat was tightly attached to Jiang Muzhi's body, but her heart was burning hot.
Rong Feijin seems to be like this forever, considerate and gentle, and always appears by a person's side at the most appropriate moment, making that person give her his all.
Time and time again, she was doomed to never forget this girl, and it was also doomed that in the first year after this girl turned around and left, she would not want to leave her home in Anton City.
The TV in the living room was on, but she couldn't help but look and look at the door, waiting for the person who couldn't turn back...
So what about this year?
Jiang Muzhi unconsciously asked a question in his heart.
Will Rong Feijin come during the Chinese New Year this year?Will she remember that she is still alone in her native land?
Maybe, yes...
Jiang Muzhi looked up at the stars all over the sky, and suddenly felt that a star blinked at her, and unconsciously chuckled.
……
On the day of the New Year's Eve, Jiang Muzhi sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, frowning, looking in a bad mood, and exuded an aura of "don't get close to strangers", even Simba's acting like a baby , couldn't make her show even the slightest smile.
She already knew that Rong Feijin would not come, but the anger now was not because Rong Feijin didn't come to accompany her for the New Year, but because that person was irresponsible to her.
Things go back to the previous afternoon.
That day happened to be Valentine's Day, but Valentine's Day is not a legal holiday, so she still had to work hard in the internship unit, serving tea and water.
In the afternoon, the manager suddenly asked her to accompany her to discuss a contract, which was about the spokesperson contract for a product their company was working on. Of course, she still played the role of serving tea and water.
It was nothing at first, but she never thought that the confirmed spokesperson was actually from Rong Feijin's company.
Along the way, she was a little restless, always worried about whether she would run into Rong Feijin.It turns out that the more you worry about something, the easier it is for something to happen.After the negotiation, Jiang Muzhi just breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as he went out, he ran into Rong Feijin.
"Amu..." Rong Feijin's originally smiling face turned into surprise the moment he saw her.She held a large bouquet of roses in her arms, there were more than thirty roses by visual inspection, and she didn't know who sent them.
On this special day, it was Sima Zhao's heart to send her roses.No, it should be, giving someone roses is already ambiguous enough.But Rong Feijin knew what the other party meant, but still accepted the bouquet of roses...
And, laughing so happily!
What does it mean?A few days ago, this person even said that he would be entangled with her for the rest of his life. It's only been a few days, and he has completely forgotten about it?
Jiang Muzhi frowned in displeasure. Although he felt uncomfortable, he also knew that no matter whose roses Rong Feijin accepted or who he decided to be with, it had nothing to do with her. After all, she had already refused Rong Feijin.
She told herself over and over again that it was a good thing for them now that this person could give up on herself, but she still couldn't help being angry after all.
Rong Feijin didn't know about Jiang Muzhi's mental activities, but after being surprised, he was delighted, and asked with some joy, "Why are you here?"
"none of your business?"
It was almost dusk now, Jiang Muzhi was lying alone on the deck chair on the balcony, the sunset glow dyed her pretty side face red, giving her a special charm.
Simba fell asleep soundly at her feet, and there was already cold tea on the table, which dyed the thin air with a layer of plain warmth.
