vengeance

"Mom, I'm back."

I stood up abruptly, and saw an elongated black figure coming out from behind the decorative cabinet dotted with small lamps. It was a man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He was very gentle and elegant. There is also a shiny briefcase.

"Uncle, hello uncle!"

Fang Rui's father looked at me and smiled straight: "Hello, Xiao Gu, right?" He put the briefcase aside, untied his coat and hung it on the coat rack, "Sorry, I'm late, just now Went out to talk about some things. Sit down, don't be polite. Fang Rui, you greet your classmates. Mom, didn't I say you eat first, don't wait for me. "

He walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down, looked at me with a smile and said, "Little Gu, I often hear Fang Rui mentioning you, and I finally met you today, you are so handsome."

"No, no, you are too proud..." Often mention me?What did you mention, didn't you say anything bad about me... After all, sometimes I have a bad attitude towards him...

I was feeling anxious when Fang's father said again: "I heard that you are good at studying, please help us Fang Rui a lot in the future."

"Dad! I'm already twenty, you think I'm still a middle school student." Fang Rui raised his head with a bowl in his hand and said dissatisfiedly.

"It should be, a few classmates..." I nodded and bowed, I must have a very ugly face now, "Ah no, what, help each other, help each other, hehehe," I laughed dryly, "Room Rui is also very good, and his grades in the exam have improved a lot in the class recently..." Hey, it looks like a home visit by the head teacher.

I glanced at Fang Rui, and as expected, he looked at me with a speechless expression.

Hey I shut up.

I quickly lowered my head and took a few mouthfuls of rice, saying that there were too many mistakes, and I ate honestly.

Afterwards, Dad Fang asked me again, and I just answered a few simple words, and I didn't dare to make mistakes.After the meal, I had a pretty good impression of Fang's father. I felt that he looked very gentle and cared about Fang Rui, unlike my father, hey.

Grandma's dishes are so delicious, I couldn't resist eating a few more bowls.I used to think that what our aunt made was already delicious in the world, but I didn't expect that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. I used to be too naive.

After eating and drinking, I slumped on the sofa feeling my round belly, and estimated that I would gain ten catties when I returned home.I originally collected the dishes and wanted to follow Grandma into the kitchen to wash the dishes, but I was kicked out. Grandma refused to let the guests wash the dishes, which made me feel embarrassed.

"Fang Rui, take your classmates to the night market. It's almost Chinese New Year, and the night market is very lively these days..."

"Got it. Let's go."

I quickly stood up from the sofa, Fang Rui's back was facing me, I couldn't see the expression on his face, but felt that his tone was a little bit bad at the moment.

I quickly followed, Fang Rui changed his shoes and waited for me at the entrance, the expression on his face was the same as usual, calm and indifferent.

"You're angry?"

"No." Fang Rui smiled at me, and the corners of his eyes curved into gentle arcs again, "I was a little annoying just now. It's not for you."

The dim street lamp illuminated Fang Rui's side face, his slightly long bangs drooped, covering his smooth forehead, and half of his face was hidden in the darkness.

I just discovered that Fang Rui's eyes are very similar to his father's, so when he smiles, he looks very friendly and full of warmth.But Fang Rui's appearance should have been inherited from his mother. His facial features are not like his father except his eyes.Fang's father's facial features are relatively resolute, but Fang Rui's is not the same. Although his facial features are three-dimensional, the lines are softer, especially when his face is expressionless, when viewed from a nearby oblique side, there is a trace of delicate beauty.

"What's wrong?" He turned his head to look at me as if he noticed my gaze.

"It's nothing." I lowered my eyes and stopped looking at him.

Fang Rui didn't say anything more, as if he would never ask, probably because he was not curious or interested in the concern and dialogue out of etiquette, or in other words, he never thought of asking.Sometimes because of such indifference, you will feel a little lost, but sometimes, because of such indifference, you will feel lucky, and you will also faintly get a strange thoughtfulness and comfort.

Am I a bit of Stockholm Syndrome?

I was thinking wildly when Fang Rui interrupted my thoughts.

"Let me take you across the bridge to the bigger night market. There should be an event tonight."

"Okay."

"Be careful, the bridge is a bit unstable."

"Oh."

Fang Rui held my arm firmly, and felt the heat from the skin through the thin clothes. I couldn't help but blushed, and wanted to shake off his hand, but I didn't move for a long time. Let him lead me staggeringly along the suspension bridge.

"It will be better when the bridge is repaired. But maybe there will be more tourists in the future."

Fang Rui looked at the other end of the bridge and muttered to himself.

"It sounds like you don't like tourists very much."

"I can't say whether I like it or not, it's just..."

The solid ground was stepped on again under my feet, Fang Rui pulled away my hand, and I was still holding his arm, and suddenly felt dizzy.

All kinds of stalls, signboards, flags, and dim lights in front of the stalls intertwined, the sound of selling, talking, the smell of fireworks, the smell of food, and the bustling crowd.I followed Fang Rui with a curious face, and saw two or three people passing by with glittering props and costumes resembling dragon and lion dances. I also saw various gold-rimmed flowers and plants decorated with protruding portraits. , some look like chubby and very lucky children, some have God of Wealth on them, and some grotesque monsters. I watched people push these floats to one end, and noisy songs were playing on them.

I asked Fang Rui curiously, and he said that they are all preparing for something now.I couldn't understand the dialect here, and Fang Rui explained with a smile that it was a fish-catching competition every year before New Year's Eve.

It is said that there is also a grand celebration ceremony on New Year’s Eve. The whole village will gather together to hold a banquet, eat, watch performances, watch floats, and set off fireworks. There will be celebrations after New Year’s Eve until the end of the Lantern Festival. and activities will come to an end.In the past few years, many people in the village have gone out to work, and some of them will not come back during the Chinese New Year. Fang Rui said that the Chinese New Year was more lively when he was a child.

I was speechless when I heard that fireworks are not allowed in the city now, but they still know how to play.

Walking along the way, what kind of coffin board, flame steak, jelly chicken feet, fried noodles bread, big sausage from Liudao, all kinds of snacks and aromas, and the warm greeting from the boss made me almost go away I don’t know what to say, I want to eat this and that, just as I was holding the flamed steak and jelly chicken feet that I hadn’t finished eating, and I was rubbing towards the signboard of Binghuo pineapple oil, Fang Rui grabbed me .

"Wait a minute, I know that Binghuo pineapple oil is the best, I'll take you to buy it."

"Ah, fine. Don't you want some." I handed over the chicken feet jelly in my hand.

"I'll finish these first." Fang Rui raised the half-eaten sausage in his hand, and the plastic bag of chow mein bread hanging on his arm shook along with it.

I smiled, a little embarrassed.Sometimes I haven't finished what I bought, and when I see what I want to eat, I will buy it again, and Fang Rui will carry the unfinished ones.At the beginning, I bought one portion per person, such as one big sausage per person. Fang Rui didn’t want to dampen my enthusiasm, so he didn’t say anything. In the end, he couldn’t stand it anymore, so he shouted at me who plunged headlong into the queue: buy it. One serving is enough, you can't finish it!

So I hugged and carried a lot of food happily, and then sadly found that I couldn't take it all. Fang Rui suggested finding a booth to sit down and finish eating before leaving.

Out of social etiquette, I bought grilled oysters and fried rice noodles from this store again. I was shocked when they came up. There were four oversized oysters and a large bowl full of fragrant fried rice noodles covered with various seafood. .

Under Fang Rui's speechless gaze, I said dryly, "You are quite honest, hahaha..."

I can probably understand why Fang Rui is so good at eating. The boss saw our delicious food and gave us a bowl of fish egg soup.

With tears in my eyes, I thanked the boss for his kindness. I don't know whether I was moved or supported.

In the end, Fang Rui wiped out more than half of the food. I was already full at home. After I came here, I also ate a few bites, and I also tasted a few bites. Once I sat down and ate a few bites, I yelled that I couldn’t eat anymore. , I'm dying.Fang Rui indifferently ate while saying that it should not be wasted, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue eating.After finally finishing the work, I felt a little pain in my belly.

I hurriedly followed the belly rubbing method my aunt taught me, clockwise and counterclockwise, and rubbed my stomach back and forth, but the more I rubbed, the more uncomfortable it became.

"Let's go." Fang Rui cleaned up the trash on the table and stood up to look at me. I don't know if it's because he is looking down at me from above. I always feel that there is a trace of speechlessness and disdain in his gaze.

Humph, you wait, ouch, my mother... I stood up tremblingly while leaning on the table, and sat down again with a frown: "Wait..."

"?"

"I want to throw up..."

"..."
