Chapter 33

Xu Can sat in the living room and waited until 12:30 in the middle of the night, when he finally heard the sound of movement from outside the door.

She saw that it was Tong Mingyue through the cat’s eyes, and after hesitating for half a second, she opened the door, leaned out and asked, “Why did you come back so late.”

He blurted out without thinking about it at all.

Xu Can calmly said: “…I just finished throwing out the garbage, it seems that you haven’t come back yet, a little…”

Simple sentences are incomplete.

a little worried? Care a little? Kind of weird? It is not appropriate to speak to Tong Mingyue by her identity.

Tong Mingyue didn’t seem to care, the answer was a bit late, and she asked gently, “Why haven’t you slept yet?”

She smiled at her.

Coming back so late, he didn’t look tired at all.

Seeing her delicate makeup and beautiful dress, Xu Can felt more and more pantothenic acid in her heart. Jealousy is always the most tormenting emotion.

“You didn’t say yesterday that you were going out today.”

She knew it wasn’t decent enough, so she didn’t have time to add or correct anything when she said it.

But Tong Mingyue actually deserves it:

“Then do you want me to report to you when I go out? Little neighbor.”

“…”

Xu Can lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covered the emotions in his eyes, and said lightly, “You can’t really be like this, why are you teasing me.”

“…”

Tong Mingyue noticed that her emotions were not right, the smile on the corner of her lips subsided, she looked at her face, paused for a few seconds, and asked tentatively, “What happened?”

“fine.”

Xu Can knew that there was no reason to say it.

It is reasonable and legal for her to date a man while she is single, and it is none of her business. Her grievance is unreasonable and unreasonable. Anxiety surged in my heart.

“It’s nothing.” Xu Can repeated it, and said good night in a calm tone.

She shrank behind the door and was about to close the door.

Tong Mingyue suddenly came over, reached out and grabbed the door frame, not letting her close the door.

“What’s wrong…”

Her eyes stared at Xu Can seriously, her figure turned back to the light.

Xu Can looked at her.

After the lens, she couldn’t tell the emotions in her eyes.

After a while, Tong Mingyue raised her hand and lightly rubbed her cheeks with her fingertips. The movement was natural, whether it was intentional or not. But soon loosened.

His eyes still fell lightly on her face.

did not speak.

Xu Can’s heart tensed, his eyes swayed, and he turned his eyes away subconsciously. I think there should be no such thing as tears.

Tong Mingyue said softly, “What happened? Tell me about it, okay?”

Coaxing tone.

Xu Can’s eyelashes twitched, and she almost burst into tears when she spoke softly.

Still care about her.

He couldn’t help but murmured in a low voice: “Then you… you first say what you are doing today, and I will tell you about me…”

“I’m off to work.”

Tong Mingyue answered quickly, and asked with concern, “What happened today?”

“…” Xu Can’s heart was blocked.

Her evasive attitude seemed to confirm her guess. Xu Can didn’t want to say that he saw it on the balcony. He lowered his eyes and said, “Forget it, I’ll stop talking.”

Said again, good night. Xu Can gave her a magazine-shooting smile.

To close again.

Tong Mingyue held the door tightly.

It wasn’t even pulling, she just put her hand on the door frame, Xu Can naturally couldn’t close the door.

“Although the little girl has the right to go back on her word, this… has become too fast.”

A little helpless, but still soft coaxing tone.

Xu Can looked at her face, thinking that he wanted to end peacefully and quietly buried it.

But it was blown even bigger by her gentle wind.

“It’s all right, I’m the one looking for trouble. You don’t have to worry about it.”

She was a little indifferent.

But facing Tong Mingyue’s face, the most extreme words were just like this.

Tong Mingyue was obviously a little stunned, and pursed her lips.

Just about to say something.

Xu Can took her hand away, and the door was already closed.

—

Xu Can closed the door, leaned back, and cried out again.

She suppressed her voice and shed tears silently.

I don’t know how long it took, the screen of her mobile phone lit up.

Message from Tong Mingyue: [I will be at home tomorrow, when I feel better, you can come to me at any time. ]

He also brought a long grass dumpling emoji that touched his head. She had never used emojis before.

She only uses the smiling face that comes with WeChat.

While Xu Can was crying, he even curled his lips… After a few seconds, he cried even more fiercely.

She didn’t know what was wrong with her.

She lost her temper at her, and she was still coaxing her.

Blinking, the tears kept falling, and the tears wiped their faces and fell down. The more gentle she is, the sadder she is. Tong Mingyue did nothing wrong, she made trouble from beginning to end.

Xu Can was tired from crying. Thinking of the filming work early tomorrow, he reluctantly took a shower and went to bed.

Red eyes will delay everyone’s affairs.

—

Filming ended the next day.

When Xu Can went home, it was already evening. The afterglow of the sunset glowed on the horizon for less than a moment, and then it completely darkened. The orange street lamps shone on her face, and the warm light could reflect her heavy tiredness.

When I took the key to open the door, I also wanted to go to Tong Mingyue and ask directly.

The high-intensity part-time job during the day, coupled with the tiredness she didn’t have a good rest last night, made her unable to lift her spirits and her mind was much duller.

I’m really afraid. Although avoidance can’t solve the actual problem, it can be hopeless later.

Afraid that she would admit in surprise, say yes, that’s her date. The boyfriend in the relationship, the future husband.

Xu Can really couldn’t bear this, and even wanted to escape from any possibility.

When she was taking a shower, she closed her eyes in a trance, raised her hand and hit the stainless steel shelf again. hurts a little.

This time the angle is okay, not too serious.

Xu Can pointed his elbow to the hot water, sniffed, and was about to cry again.

She closed her eyes in a daze, and decided to say: to ask, or to ask clearly.

Mourning is enough.

If she is a suitor, she will find a way to destroy it, and she will be a deliberate bystander in the relationship. If Tong Mingyue gets married one day and has a good life, Xu Can will quietly guard her for the rest of her life.

…

Xu Can cried and thought about everything, forcing himself to accept it.

Then, holding the laptop, he knocked on Tong Mingyue’s door and said, “Can you watch a ghost movie with me? I’m scared. It feels dark in the room.”

Tong Mingyue: “…”

She looked at her face, and saw the faint dark blue of the tired eyes.

Several thoughts came to mind, but he didn’t ask.

“Then come to the study.” Finally, Tong Mingyue smiled softly and let her come in first. “It happened that I bought a projector before. I took it out and put it on the wall to see the effect is good.”

Xu Can nodded, followed him in with the computer in his arms, and thought of it again and said, “But I’m scared, why are you still zooming in…”

Tong Mingyue paused, as if she didn’t take the fear of watching ghost movies that she said at the door to heart.

After being vague, I finally thought about it and said, “I’m with me, so I’m not afraid.”

Xu Can said “Oh” and raised his lips.

Go to her study.

Tong Mingyue’s study is as big as an ordinary master bedroom. There is a small bookcase on the wall next to the door, and on the other wall, two large bookcases are placed together, one wall bookcase.

By the window is a solid wood desk the size of a desk, with various folders on it, neatly organized.

Next to the computer, a few pages of printed English papers.

Xu Can saw the cowhide book next to the paper at a glance, the almost black navy blue leather surface, embossed with the year of the year, and the word “diary” next to it.

Let people know immediately what the book is for.

It has the style of the old cadres and the older generation.

She laughed in her heart first, before thinking that Tong Mingyue still had the habit of writing a diary.

Tong Mingyue took out the projector that had not been used for a long time from the drawer at the bottom of the desk. Just pick up the printed pages of the thesis paper and put it on the diary. After covering it, it was moved to the farthest corner.

The projector was placed on the table, and they turned around and sat in front of the small bookcase.

The entire snow-white wall is a screen.

The film was downloaded casually by Xu Can, and when he clicked on the opening, he confirmed that it was a horror film, so he knocked on the door with his computer in his arms and said he was afraid. The evaluation said it was extremely scary, and it was indeed a decent horror film routine when it was released.

She stared at the projection screen intently, and the light reflected on the screen in her eyes kept changing.

Looks very focused.

In fact, I was thinking, how to ask her about yesterday’s date is more natural. Missing the opportunity, no matter how you open your mouth, it feels like it’s deliberate.

Thinking too intently, he frowned, and the corners of his lips pursed slightly downward.

It’s like focusing on watching a movie and getting a little bit intimidated.

Tong Mingyue suddenly whispered: “The distribution of human blood flow is impossible like this…”

“Special makeup is not good enough, and the uneven dyeing can be seen in the light.”

“Necrotic tissue never takes on this color and shape.”

Xu Can: “…”

When did Professor Tong study medicine?

“I just walked out of the wooden house full of spider webs…” Tong Mingyue said, “How can I lie down, the soles of my shoes are still so clean.”

The man was obviously sprayed with blood and died, but she used the word “lie down”. Very cute.

Only ten minutes into the film, she tried to make Xu Can play.

With her by her side, don’t be afraid. It turned out that Professor Tong was not afraid in this way.

Xu Can raised his lips, wanting to say that he is not afraid yet.

Suddenly, I heard the high-pitched sound of the steam from the kettle boiling water from outside the study.

“Have the water been boiled?”

“I was going to make tea just now,” Tong Mingyue quickly stood up, “I’ll go to the kitchen and be back soon.”

Xu Can hummed.

Before leaving, she deliberately lowered her voice by two notches. For fear that the background music would scare her.

Xu Can curled her lips and watched her.

In a blink of an eye, she met the female ghost who suddenly appeared on the big screen, and she shifted her gaze boredly. First, take a look at the books in her bookcase. Several bookcases are almost full.

In the small bookcase are professional textbooks and academic books. The large bookcase on the next wall seems to have all types of books, literature books, ancient Tang poetry and Song poetry, prose novels.

And Mo Yan…

Xu Can wrinkled his dimples.

Looking around in the study room, she suddenly thought of the diary she pressed down on the paper.

The book is only half a meter away from her, not even…

Stand up and raise your hand to reach it.

“…”

Xu Can’s heart jumped up, and a strong thought came out that he knew it shouldn’t be, but it was still uncontrollable.

Can you just look at one page.

Just look at where she went yesterday and who that man is. Will she write it in her diary?

If it’s a date…is she happy.

The thought pricked her.

Under the tension and pressure that is several times more than the college entrance examination, I hesitated quickly in my mind. She looked at the crack of the door, Tong Mingyue should still be busy in the kitchen.

Will be back soon, no more chance later.

Xu Can immediately threw away the others… just look at one page.

She compromised with herself.

He stood up, quickly took off the paper on it, picked up the notebook, and opened the navy blue cowhide diary that was close to pure black.

Soft leather, the book is a bit weighty.

She turned the pages very quickly, and did not read the previous content at all, only noticed that it was densely written, and each piece of paper had a lot of words.

Turn to the last page.

The date in the upper right corner is indeed yesterday.

Xu Can held his breath and thought about reading as much as possible to find the key points. Tong Mingyue will be back soon.

glance over.

She was stunned, not expecting that what she remembered yesterday was like this.

When she flipped back quickly, she clearly felt that almost every piece of paper she had written was quite full. About two and a half pages a day.

But this page has only three short lines.

reads:

She seems to like me a little too much.

There should be some distance.

But I can’t leave her.

The handwriting is as beautiful and elegant as always, but the stroke of the brush is a bit hesitant, as if writing hesitantly.
