Lingyuan saw her meticulous action of applying the medicine, and couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, and continued:
"Besides, I just helped spread the word that the wrestling was an accident. My own carelessness has nothing to do with it.”
“Why doesn’t it matter?”
Liu Wenpei suddenly became a little unhappy. She raised her face and frowned at him:
“If you hadn’t sent the message, could you have Did it fall like this?”
"Hey... you see what you said, don't say it again next time, it's outrageous, what if Uncle Lu and Xiaobao hear it? We helped, it was a good thing, don't look back and make everyone upset "I'm not happy."
Liu Wenpei pursed her lips and looked at him, then lowered her head and stopped talking.
The single room in the small courtyard was quiet for a while, and Lingyuan said casually:
"When I came back that day, I heard that Bai Chuan was very sick, and the child was so sick... Have you visited in the past few days?”
“How can I go? You have to go to school, don’t I also have to work in the cafeteria?”
Lingyuan nodded, thinking that was the case, and said:
"Let's take a look at it in a while. I just have a day off today, and you are back after asking for leave."
"..."
Liu Wenpei suddenly became mute again and remained silent.
Ling Yuan did not receive a response, he raised his neck and looked down at her:
"Why aren't you talking? Didn't you like going there before?"
Liu Wenpei looked at him and quickly looked away.
When she was about to say something, Lingyuan asked again:
“You don’t still remember what happened before, do you?”
“No.”
Liu Wenpei subconsciously vetoed:
“There are only a few people in the cafeteria, and I have to cook for so many people. I am exhausted from getting up early and staying late every day. Besides, Xiaobao is highly educated, and I have no education, so I can’t talk to her. Let’s go.”
“It’s not just a matter of a day or two that her diploma is higher than yours. Wasn’t she good in the past?”
Liu Wenpei tried to explain why she didn’t go to Fu’s house.
When Lingyuan heard this, he thought it was just a minor problem.
Sensing her resistance, he couldn't force her, so he changed his angle and said:
"The relationship is here, and we live so close. If you really don't like it, you don't want to go." It’s nothing, you have to deal with situations like this when elders and children are sick, otherwise wouldn’t they all be upset?”
Unable to shirk it, Liu Wenpei could only nod dullly.
Ling Yuan saw that she could listen to the truth, and the smile on his face became more genuine.
After chatting in various ways, the atmosphere in the room became a little better.
But somehow the topic suddenly turned to the matter of the Fu family being reported a few days ago.
Ling Yuan said: "Uncle Lu used some tricks and asked for information at the Public Security Bureau. He said that the person who reported the report was a young lesbian. It is very likely that she is one of us... Oops!"
Liu Wenpei's hand shook, and he picked up a layer of black scab on Lingyuan's leg, and blood beads immediately appeared.
She hurriedly covered the wound with her hand, realized something was wrong, and quickly used a cotton swab to press it on him.
Ling Yuan thought it was the bleeding that made her panic.
He smiled and pinched her braids, comforted her softly and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt." He continued to think about the topic just now:
"I think the person who reported the report is probably a neighbor in this area, and he is familiar with her." I know some things, and from a distance, everyone knows each other, who will care about this kind of thing? "
Just report it, it's okay if you report the person.
If the report fails, aren’t you afraid of retaliation if you turn back?
The air suddenly condensed, Liu Wenpei lowered his head and said nothing.
Lingyuan asked her: "What do you think?"
Liu Wenpei looked up at him, opened his lips and said nothing, then lowered his head again.
Ling Yuan looked confused. Seeing that she was not in high spirits, he calmly coaxed her:
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"
After asking several times, Liu Wenpei remained silent as if he was mute.
Ling Yuan was in a daze at first, but after considering the details, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Every time he talked about the Fu family, she acted strange.
When it comes to reporting, she reacts the most.
At first I thought it was because of the clothes issue last time. Now that he thought about it carefully, Lingyuan's heart suddenly "thumped".
Taking her hand to apply the medicine, Lingyuan's expression suddenly became stiff and serious:
"Tell me, this matter has nothing to do with you, right?"
Liu Wenpei paused suddenly. , looked at him, and then quickly looked away.
The denial was very quick:
“No, it has nothing to do with me! I didn’t do it!”
Lingyuan shivered, and the hair on his back stood up all the way to the back of his head.
The matter seemed to have an answer. She lowered her bushy eyebrows and shook her head in disbelief.
But there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart. He clasped her wrist and continued to ask:
"As long as you say it has nothing to do with you, I will believe you. Tell me what's going on in this matter. Is it related to you?”
“I, I...”
Liu Wenpei looked at him with tears on her face. She only spat out the first of the three words "not me" intermittently.
Ling Yuan let go and grabbed the hair on both sides of his ears with both hands. His ears were ringing and his head was buzzing.
He subconsciously moved to the side to distance himself from her.
He held his head in his hands and kept shaking his head.
Bewildered, puzzled, confused, shocked, incredulous, etc.
Why?
Why do this?
Ling Yuan can’t understand.
Is it still because of the clothes?
He thought it was impossible, but there seemed to be no other way to explain it.
But, but...
It’s just a suit of clothes!
How could she?
How come?
Ling Yuan felt as if something collapsed in his heart.
No matter what, I couldn't convince myself to believe the facts in front of me.
He sat on the bed and moved to the corner frequently.
"Ling Yuan, please don't be like this, okay? I'm afraid..."
Seeing his abnormality, Liu Wenpei was a little afraid that he would be separated from her, so she immediately crouched down and slowly approached him:
"Listen to my explanation first. I, I really didn't expect this to happen at first. I just..."
Lingyuan fended off her hand and shook his head frequently:
"You lied to me! You didn't do this, you just said it, didn't you? Peipei, why are you doing this? Why are you doing this? ”
He contradicted himself.
I really wanted to deceive myself that this was a lie, but he couldn't.
He didn’t even dare to think about the consequences of this matter.
The relationship between the two families is so good, and the Lu family cares so much about his family.
His wife's job was still entrusted to the Lu family.
But what did they do?
How will he face Xiaobao in the future?
How to face Fu Jingyou?
A layer of sweat broke out on Lingyuan's forehead, and he frequently blocked Liu Wenpei's outstretched hand, refusing her touch.
Liu Wenpei was really scared when she saw him like this.
She called Lingyuan's name and wanted to explain something else.
On the window sill on the pile of debris at the door, there was suddenly a soft "thump".
Both of them turned their heads.
It was Lingyuan who reacted first and limped out of the door.
On the windowsill, a large bowl of chicken soup with rippling oily flowers was sitting there quietly. (End of this chapter)
