Zhao Qiming was not sleeping deeply. He woke up soon and opened his eyes. Hua Cui was sitting next to him and staring at him angrily.
He was stunned for a moment, and there was still confusion in his eyes that could not be dissipated in time. He subconsciously asked: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"You bullied me." Hua Cui added, "In a dream."
"In a dream?" Zhao Qiming repeated hesitantly, and then put his hand on her forehead. Instead of generating any heat, he felt a layer of wet cold sweat, "Did you have a nightmare? Or was it a nightmare?"
Hua Cui said "hmm" feebly. After being tortured like this, she had lost her sleep. She couldn't sleep, and Zhao Qiming couldn't even think about it.
Huacui pulled the person up and sat in a row with her: "Brother Xiao Ming, what do you think love is?"
Zhao Qiming: "."
Zhao Qiming felt that the consequences of wrong answers would be serious, so he cautiously remained silent for now.
"Do you think love is giving or taking?" Before Zhao Qiming could answer, Hua Cui answered for him, "I think love is giving wholeheartedly to your lover, giving willingly without asking for anything in return! It means giving everything, as long as It’s enough for the person you love to be happy!”
Zhao Qiming nodded lightly, noncommittal to her words: "Cui Cui, what about you, do you love me?"
Huacui refused to answer and glared at him: "Don't interrupt."
"Brother Xiao Ming, I just dreamed in my dream that I would have a better life in the future, but the price is to leave you. If such a day comes, are you willing to let go?"
Zhao Qiming did not answer, but asked calmly: "So, what did I do in the dream?"
So much so that she regarded it as a nightmare and was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweats.
"Answer my question first, don't try to change the subject."
Hua Cui gently pinched his earlobe. This was an action she often did when the two were playing around, showing a unique intimacy.
Zhao Qiming's heart suddenly softened, "What does a better life look like?"
After asking back and forth but never getting to the point, Hua Cui became a little annoyed and her tone of voice became aggravated.
“It’s the kind of life where you don’t have to work in the fields, you don’t have to feed pigs and cut grass, you can always use clean hot water, you won’t be too hot to sleep in the summer, and the toilets are neat and clean so you don’t feel sick!”
Hua Cui would like to add: Maybe this is a life you will never have in this life.
It was the life she had been born to have.
Zhao Qiming didn't speak for a long time, probably because he didn't know what to say. Against the moonlight, Hua Cui couldn't see his expression clearly, but she could also vaguely see his fatigue.
For a moment, Hua Cui suddenly thought of her ex-boyfriend in her previous life. He was her childhood playmate. The two made trouble together when they were young and did countless bad things that cats and dogs hated. Later, they reunited in college. In the words of her friend, It was the bastard looking at Mung Bean, and the two suddenly looked at each other and became a couple.
One time, Hua Cui insisted on risking her life to climb a mountain in the rain. Her ex-boyfriend couldn't persuade him for a long time. Hua Cui used the threat of breaking up to force him to go with her. However, an accident happened later. He rolled down the hillside to pull Hua Cui and did not go to heaven. , just stayed in the hospital for a few days.
Afterwards, Hua Cui apologized to him with a guilty conscience, saying that she had made him suffer.
Hua Cui found that she still remembered clearly what he said at that time. He said: Hua Cui, do you know? I have suffered a lot from the moment I fell in love with you, and this is the most unworthy of your apology.
Hua Cui didn't understand what he meant at the time, she just thought he was shameless, so she was so angry that she slammed the door and left, throwing away his cell phone and lunch before leaving.
In fact, Hua Cui still didn't understand what he meant. If she could go back to that day, she felt that she might have to slap him again, but the fatigue when he spoke that day was exactly the same as Zhao Qiming's now.
Seeing Zhao Qiming, Hua Cui couldn't help but think of her bastard ex-boyfriend.
"What if..." Zhao Qiming spoke with difficulty, bringing Hua Cui back to reality, "If such a day comes, can you wait for me again? I also want to give you a better life."
Hua Cui smiled and nodded, lying without blinking: "Okay, of course I will wait for Brother Xiao Ming."
Zhao Qiming didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he continued to remain silent.
Hua Cui had a sudden thought: "Brother Xiao Ming, I can't sleep. I want to see fireflies. Can you catch fireflies for me? I want a full bottle!"
"Okay."
"Then go ahead, I'll wait for you."
Zhao Qiming didn't say anything else. He put on his clothes and got out of bed. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you thirsty? Do you want me to get you a glass of water first?"
Hua Cui shook her head and said no, Zhao Qiming nodded, closed the door gently and left.
It was two o'clock in the morning. Hua Cui yawned softly. She was dazed for a while. Thinking of the nightmare just now, she felt that it was not interesting.
She thought she was worrying blindly.
Huacui leaned on the bedside. She really wanted to see fireflies on a whim, rather than deliberately tormenting Zhao Qiming. She insisted on waiting for a while, but she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep as soon as the quilt was rolled up.
When she woke up the next day, Zhao Qiming had gone to work early, and she was the only one left in the room.
Huacui saw a bottle of fireflies placed by the bedside, with small holes in the bottle for air circulation. Although the fireflies inside looked sick and not lively, they were still alive, and their tails were emitting a weak light.
It's so ugly, Hua Cui is so disappointed.
Sure enough, it is different from the dreamlike fireflies in fairy tales.
Huacui unscrewed the bottle cap and released all the fireflies in the bottle.
Fool, she looked at the fireflies slowly flying away with disdain. Going to catch fireflies at two in the morning, Zhao Qiming definitely had something wrong with his brain!
As for the brain, doesn't it have its own thinking? What does she say?
Of course, Hua Cui is so unreasonable sometimes. If Zhao Qiming doesn't catch fireflies obediently, she will also feel unhappy that he is not obedient enough to her. It was approaching noon, and it looked like Li Guifang was about to come back to cook. Hua Cui had moved a small bench to sit in the yard early, waiting for food, but Li Guifang didn't wait, and instead waited for Niu Niu.
She ran over, out of breath: "Sister, sister, my uncle is bleeding. He was fighting with someone."
"Ah?" Hua Cui didn't hear clearly.
Niu Niu repeated it again. Hua Cui's first reaction was that there was a lot of excitement. Her second reaction was that Zhao Qiming was fighting with someone and he would definitely not be able to have lunch on time today.
She asked anxiously: "Where's Mom? Will Mom come back to cook?"
Niu Niu was stunned for a moment and shook her head hesitantly: "I didn't see grandma."
"Where is Brother Xiao Ming? Where are they fighting? Take me there."
Niuniu nodded heavily.
Huacui immediately took Niu Niu's hand and said, "Let's go!"
However, when the two arrived, the "war" had come to an end. Hua Cui didn't see any of the scenes she wanted to see. Zhao Qiming was pulled by someone. His forehead and corners of his eyes were injured, and his face was covered with dust and blood. Opposite him was another injured young man.
Huacui has an impression of him. Isn't this the third team of educated youth? What's his name? It seems to be Sun Mingjing.
Zhao Fuguo stood in the center of the crowd with a dark face, showing no preference for his children. He was attacking them indiscriminately and reprimanded both of them.
".Good job! What time is it now? Is it the time for you to fight and cause trouble!"
Huacui heard this sentence when she arrived.
"Look, Huacui is here!" Someone suddenly shouted, and everyone looked at her.
Huacui: "."
Damn it!
No longer able to sneak around and watch the fun, Hua Cui stepped forward. She took out a crumpled handkerchief from her pocket and wiped Zhao Qiming's wound distressedly.
"What's wrong? It's bleeding. If there's anything we can't discuss carefully, we have to fight. Look at this injury. Oh my, it makes me feel so bad." Hua Cui pinched her throat and was pretentious.
Her voice is clear and melodious, and whatever she says is beautiful. What's more, in this era, there is no concept of "clip sound".
Many people looked at Zhao Qiming with envy. With Hua Cui's comfort and care, the beating was worth it!
Sun Mingjing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He stared at Huacui with gloomy and resentful eyes. But when Huacui and Zhao Qiming were together, everyone just thought that he was dissatisfied with Zhao Qiming. After all, no one else would be beaten on the ground. Have a good look.
Hua Cui leaned close to Zhao Qiming's ear and lowered her voice as if she was concerned: "Brother Xiao Ming is well done. The opponent is worse than you. You are making a lot of money!"
When it comes to fights, Hua Cui always believes that whoever bleeds more will lose, and vice versa.
Of course, she herself would not participate in such a thing. She was the one who was hurting, so she chose Didi to take care of her.
Zhao Fuguo raised his voice and shouted at Zhao Qiming: "Why don't you tell me quickly why you hit me! You must give an explanation today!"
Huh.
Hua Cui was a little surprised that it was Brother Xiao Ming who took the initiative to beat someone up. Her mind turned quickly. Although she didn't know exactly what happened, she also understood that there must be something wrong with Sun Mingjing.
Maybe it has something to do with her and deserves Brother Xiao Ming's teaching. Of course she trusts Zhao Qiming more than Sun Mingjing.
Hua Cui sighed and spoke on behalf of Sun Mingjing: "Brother Xiao Ming, come on, look at how badly Sun Zhiqing was beaten. You knew that he couldn't last three seconds in your hands, but you still beat him like this. Look. Look, this guy has a bruised nose and a swollen face, and looks like a thin monkey. How pitiful he is.”
"He deserves it." Zhao Qiming was silent for a long time and finally said these three words.
"Did he break the rules of heaven when he was beaten? Zhu Bajie was just demoted to earth and turned into a pig demon. Poor Sun Zhiqing, he was beaten into a pig demon even though he didn't break the rules of heaven."
Someone in the crowd couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
Although every word he said was reasonable, what a loss. Didn't you see that Sun Mingjing's face turned green with anger?
Zhao Fuguo coughed a few times and silenced the laughing crowd with a dark face.
How could he not understand his son's temperament? But the difficulty is that Zhao Qiming is his own son. If he doesn't handle it well, word will spread that he favors his own people and treats educated youths differently.
Zhao Fuguo would really rather it was Zhao Qiming who was beaten, rather than being stuck like this.
"Deserves it? What deserves it? Tell me clearly, is it justified to hit someone? I can't teach you a lesson today, can I?" Zhao Fuguo raised his palm and was about to step forward angrily.
Huacui quickly stopped the person: "Dad, calm down, there must be some misunderstanding here!"
Zhao Fuguo's movements looked fierce, but in fact he didn't use much strength at all. Hua Cui stopped him easily. She knew that he just wanted to show off, otherwise he wouldn't be so "risky".
Zhao Qiming protected Hua Cui behind him, and the others also reacted and stopped Zhao Fuguo with all their hands and feet, and tried to persuade him.
"Yes, Captain, there must be some misunderstanding here, don't be impulsive."
"We have watched this kid Qi Ming grow up, and he will definitely not hit anyone without any reason."
