like electricity

16.

Evicted from home?This plot was really beyond Jiang Chou's expectation, "Why?"

"Why what?" Zhuo Shuang asked back.

"Why are you arguing with your mother?"

Seeing that Zhuo Shuang frowned and looked serious, he quickly added, "Leave it alone if you don't want to say it."

After a few seconds, Zhuo Shuang relaxed, "I forgot, it's just trivial things anyway."

Facing Shang Jiangshou's suspicious eyes, he shrugged and explained, "Really, I didn't lie to you. My mother has a very weird temper. Sometimes she doesn't respond to whatever I say, and sometimes it's like a firecracker. Now, I am often not sure about the speed, so I hit her with a gun today, and was scolded bloody. Don’t you have a deep understanding of this? After all, sometimes I think I am quite annoying.”

Even if he said that, Jiang Shou still felt that something was wrong, "But it's not that..."

Zhuo Shuang followed his words, "Not what?"

"It's not enough to drive you out. Aren't your grandparents helping to persuade the fight?"

His voice gradually decreased, but Zhuo Shuang still heard the second half of the sentence clearly.

Zhuo Shuang laughed, with a sharpness that was rarely seen on weekdays, "Persuading a fight? You mean pointing at my nose and yelling 'Get out of here'?"

His tone was a bit harsh, Jiang Shou, who knew he had said something wrong, was speechless, and lowered her head angrily, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this."

Seeing the hands they were still holding, he tried to retract them, but he couldn't pull them back no matter what.

What does this mean?The harder he tried, the tighter Zhuo Shuang's grip became, and the two of them fought secretly, until the back of his hand was so painful that he couldn't even pull out a finger.The moment he gave up struggling, Zhuo Shuang returned to normal strength.He stared at Zhuo Shuang's hand holding him, and the more he paid attention to it, the more distinct the strange feeling of this skin-to-skin contact became—not that he was disgusted or disgusted, but at most he was not used to it.

He couldn't help but glanced at Zhuo Shuang quietly again, he thought he would see an angry face, but who knew that Zhuo Shuang was also looking at him, his eyes were full of complicated emotions that he didn't understand.

—Is he still angry?

"Isn't that right..." Jiang Shou repeated the words of apology, but was interrupted before finishing.

"It's not your fault, why are you apologizing so quickly?" Zhuo Shuang clicked his head irritably, turned his head to the other side, but his hands didn't relax at all, "It's me who should say sorry, I shouldn't Take it out on you, I just can't help myself."

His tone was a bit frustrated, but more impatience and anxiety, Jiang Shou was taken aback.

He had known Zhuo Shuang for more than a month, and it was at this time that he saw him not so easily at ease.

"It's my fault. I was really on top just now."

It's a person who won't feel better after being scolded like this, especially a relative who is connected by blood. Jiang Shou nodded understandingly, "I know, you didn't mean it."

Zhuo Shuang didn't speak any more, Jiang Shou naturally wouldn't make fun of her.

After being quiet for a while, Zhuo Shuang said unwillingly, "Aren't you wondering why they did this to me?"

Jiang Shou, who didn't expect him to say that at all, opened his mouth, "Then...will you tell me?"

He really wanted to know, but he was more afraid of poking Zhuo Shuang's sore spot again, after all, he knew nothing about this person.

Zhuo Shuang saw that her mood was much more stable than before, but there was still a gloomy and indifferent look on Qingjun's brows, "There's nothing I can't say. My mother is the only child, the sweetheart of my grandparents, don't look at how they usually treat me. Be polite, once something happens, they will definitely only help my mother and not me. They treat me well just because I am my mother's child, and there is nothing more."

Even if they are all relatives connected by blood, there is still a difference between closeness and distance. Jiang Shou, who understands this truth, didn't say much nonsense such as "they love you".Maybe it's a bit indifferent to think like this, but in Jiangchou's view,

It's a good thing to come out and let both sides calm down, because there are many things in this world that can't be argued without arguing.

"You came out like this...Have you thought about what to do when you go back?" He was only worried about whether Zhuo Shuang would be in trouble when he went back.

Zhuo Shuang glanced at him, "I won't go back. I'll go back to my dad's place later, and just send them a text message to report that I'm safe."

"Then your mother...?"

"My father and mother are not divorced, but they are almost divorced. I usually live with my father, and regularly go to my mother's place for a few days a month. This time I was going to live until the end of the holiday."

Zhuo Shuang explained.It was originally arranged in this way, but after such a thing happened, it is impossible to go back, so it is better to let both sides be clean.

"do you want……"

Jiang Shou racked his brains to say something comforting, but when he finally thought of a beginning, Zhuo Shuang over there had returned to his usual indifferent appearance.

Watching him finish drinking the mineral water, the empty bottle was accurately thrown into the trash bin not far away, if the two people's hands were not still holding each other, Jiang Shou might feel that the conversation just now was a false phantom.

"It's okay, I didn't really want to go back there." Zhuo Shuang looked up at the sky, and suddenly sighed, "Ah, it's getting dark."

"Huh...? Yes, it's getting dark."

During the time they were chatting, the sky, which had a gleam of bleak afterglow, completely darkened. The bright yellow street lamps and flickering car lights merged into the river in the city, forming a huge light pollution that illuminated the night sky, making the natural starry sky become blurred.

Zhuo Shuang got up, pulled him up from the bench, and let go of the hand that he couldn't get rid of before.

Jiang Shou, who stood up straight, stretched her fingers, but before she could figure out why, someone pinned the top of her head.

"I don't know why, as long as I see you, I always feel good." Zhuo Shuang's voice came from above, "It's the same this time."

Jiang Shou clearly heard her heart skip a beat, and then beat violently, almost breaking free from her chest.

The Jinxing Cinema Zhuo Shuang chose is located on the sixth floor of Jiangtai Department Store.

Even if it was a holiday, there were not many people who would choose to watch biographical films like "Precise Moment". There were only three or four people left in auditorium 3 besides them. Even more few.

Zhuo Shuang, who likes sci-fi, horror and all kinds of exciting elements, yawned all over the place. In the first half, he lived on popcorn, and in the second half, he just bowed his head and played with his fingers when he had nothing to do. In short, he kept his previous promise and did not say anything about Jiang Shou’s choice. complain.

Apologetically, Jiang Shou leaned close to his ear and asked him if he wanted to go first. He admitted that the proposal was very attractive, but he still chose to refuse.

"Won't it be a waste to go out? It's a total of 125 minutes, and now more than half of it has passed. If you stick to it, you can finish it. It's not a good thing to give up halfway." Zhuo Shuang pretended to watch the big screen seriously, "Well, I think I understand Yes, you can discuss it with me when you go out later."

This is to say that if you understand it, there will be no one in the world who can't understand it.Jiang Shou couldn't say anything, so she sat back in her seat and read the rest carefully.

When it was time to end, Zhuo Shuang stretched her waist, stretched her muscles and bones, and looked a little dazed, "It's over?"

He glanced at the screen where the end credits were starting to play, "Oh, it's really over. The last segment was so quiet that I actually fell asleep, can you believe it? I actually fell asleep in the movie theater."

Jiang Shou took his sleepy look into his eyes, and deliberately provoked him with what he said before, "I wanted to discuss the plot with you, but since you fell asleep, let it go."

Zhuo Shuang, let's not talk about anything else, at least pretending to be a wolf with a big tail is a must, "If you want to ask anything, just ask, you brother Zhuo knows everything."

He was so angry as if the guy who lived like a year just now was not him.

Jiang Shou pondered for a moment, "Then...why did Gore finally choose to return to China?"

"what?"

Zhuo Shuang was confused by the first question.He searched his guts to dig out some useful fragments from his memory, "Is there someone like Goyle? Let me think about it, is it the one who made the film? No, the waiter in the cafe?"

What is this all about?Jiang Shou sighed, "The one with the blond hair is a newspaper reporter. The one who took the film was a woman, a black-haired woman named Rhea."

Zhuo Shuang clapped her hands suddenly, "Oh, that's right, I remember there was a blonde haired one."

"Brother Zhuo knows everything, huh?" Jiang Shou raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "The scope of this omniscience is a bit small."

"You're laughing." Zhuo Shuang wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, "You're laughing at my stupidity, you're laughing at me."

Jiang Shou had to hold down the corner of her mouth to prevent herself from smiling too obviously, "I didn't smile."

"You have." Zhuo Shuang came over to hold his hand, "See for yourself if you are smiling."

"I didn't, I really... well, just a little bit, I couldn't help it."

Zhuo Shuang was heartbroken, "Little classmate, you are really too much. Brother Zhuo worked so hard to watch movies with you, and you still laugh, you have no conscience."

Seeing that the conversation was about to turn into a bickering among elementary school students, Jiang Choi chose to rein in the situation, "Brother Zhuo, you are so childish even though you are an adult."

When he said this, his eyes were shining with a sly light, and even the faint mole at the corner of his eye became vivid.

"Little classmate, please don't act on the pretense of your beauty." Zhuo Shuang was stabbed in his weakness, and muttered in a low voice, "You can't just rely on your brother Zhuo's good words to do something bad."

"How did I mess it up?"

Zhuo Shuang patted him on the head, "You know I'm asleep, and you ask such a difficult question on purpose."

"Wait, didn't you ask for this?" Jiang Mou almost suspected that she had heard it wrong, "It wasn't you..."

"I'll be polite to you, are you serious?"

Jiangchou was so angry that her cheeks puffed up.He couldn't figure out how anyone in this world could be so good at turning black and white. It was obvious that the other party was boasting first, but in the end it was all his fault.

The staff came in to rush people to clear the place, and the two went down the stairs one after the other and walked towards the exit.The moment he came into contact with the light outside, he closed his eyes.

"Your eyes are bad?"

Zhuo Shuang noticed this detail.Most people will not have much reaction to such light and dark changes, unless they have defective eyesight or have been injured...

"Have you been checked in the hospital?"

"fine."

Seeing that he really cared about her, Jiang Shou, who was still holding grudges and didn't really want to talk to this person, softened her attitude, and said sullenly, "A little problem."

"Really?"

"Really, you get used to it after a while."

Zhuo Shuang looked at it for a while and made sure there was nothing serious, so she felt relieved, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

"Ah? No need, I can go back by myself."

Jiang Shou subconsciously refused.It's not yet nine o'clock, and if he's faster, he can still catch the last train.

"Okay, don't let your brother Zhuo repeat it a second time." Zhuo Shuang pushed him to the elevator without any explanation, "I'm a bit sorry for letting you stay with me for so long, I don't send you home."

Uncle Li's car was parked on the side of the road.

After getting in the car, Uncle Li took a look at Jiang Chou from the rearview mirror, "It's still the same address as last time?"

He nodded slightly awkwardly, "Yeah."

Zhuo Shuang took a bottle of mineral water from the small refrigerator, and poured a glass for herself and Jiangchou, "Send my little classmate home first, and then go back to Xinyuan Road."

"No problem." Uncle Li made an OK gesture.

After all, the private car was much faster than the buses that stopped along the way. Uncle Li drove the car into the Zhuyuan Community within 10 minutes.

Same as last time, Zhuo Shuang got off the car to see him off, and the two walked slowly along the deserted street.

Walking slowly, the shadows under the street lamps stretched forever.

Seeing that building 13 was about to be reached, Jiang Shou stopped in her tracks.

"This building?"

Actually not, but Jiang Shou vaguely said, "Almost."

"Shall I take you up there?"

Jiang Shou shook her head, "Just get here."

Is it his illusion?He vaguely felt that Zhuo Shuang was actually looking forward to inviting him to have a sit down.

If he was still living with his grandparents, he might really invite him up, but this is not his home, he is just a burden dependent on others, and he is not qualified to bring his classmates as guests.

"No need, I can go up by myself, don't make Uncle Li wait too long." He pretended not to understand Zhuo Shuang's hint, "I'll go first."

Zhuo Shuang lowered her eyes, making it difficult to see what emotion was inside.When he looked at Jiang Shou again, there was nothing left in his amber eyes, "Okay, be careful on the road."

Do not look back.Jiang Shou took two steps, trying to restrain herself not to look back to see if Zhuo Shuang was still in place.He silently recited to 10 in his heart, and then turned around to find that there was nothing under the street lamp. At this moment, he didn't know if he was relieved, or if he was so regretful that he didn't know how to say it.

Thinking of what was waiting for him ahead, he slowly went upstairs and opened the door with the key. The living room smelled of alcohol, but the lights were dimmed.He felt for the switch on the wall and heard a rough, hoarse gasp as he pressed it.

Xie Shun, who was drunk, sat on the sofa in the living room, raised his head when he heard the sound, and looked at him with a gloomy face, his eyes were full of repulsion and disgust.

The magic of good mood brought by Zhuo Shuang is like a fragile soap bubble, which is popped by the cold and sharp reality.

If he could, he wanted to turn around and run, but at present he has no choice—the old house of his grandparents was rented out by his mother at a price of 2000 a month.

He bit the bullet and greeted the man, "Uncle Xie, have you had dinner tonight?"
