Chapter 0016: A Chance Encounter
The next few days, Zhuang Rui went to the antique market a few times, the purpose is naturally also want to chance, see if you can meet a can absorb the aura of the object, just close to the New Year, and even more than a week of snow, antique market within the many stores are closed, ready to after the New Year after the business, even those who are usually out of the loose stalls have disappeared.
Zhuang Rui is to run into an open store, the owner is also enthusiastic, just after looking at the several store owners so-called Zhang Xu cursive handwriting, Zhuang Rui is simply crying and laughing, is not to use the eyes of the aura, he can see that is false, if it is true, this store owner did not go to Yunlong Villa to buy a villa, but also the cold days of the hanging around here? Does he look so much like a fool?
In a fit of pique, Zhuang Rui simply do not go out, ran to the new China bookstore to buy a lot of antique appreciation books, every day is not to read, is familiar with the eyes of the aura in the home.
These days after several experiments, Zhuang Rui found that the current eye aura can reach up to two meters away from the body, and can penetrate the thickness of a centimeter or so of the glass and wood, just for the iron metal and stone mineral items no reaction, but Zhuang Rui believe that with the increase of the aura, the eyes can see through the object will gradually increase.
A few days ago, Liu Chuan every day to harass Zhuang Rui a bit, but recently it seems that the family introduced him to an object, these five or six days is to come less, see other people’s homes are busy organizing the New Year’s goods, Zhuang Rui more and more seem idle.
“Xiao Rui, don’t be bored at home all day, go out and turn around! Right, you go to the supermarket to buy some couplets and ‘Fu’ characters back, the day after tomorrow is the New Year’s Eve, it’s time to put them up.”
Zhuang mother came to her son’s room, secretly sighed in her heart, although her son is more stable, seldom go to some disco bars and whatnot, but in the past when he came home, he was still very cheerful, going out to find classmates to play every day, but this time after the injury he has become a lot more silent, every day he just sullenly reads a book in the house, which also makes Zhuang mother to worry about a lot of thoughts for nothing.
“I know, mom, I’ll go now, or let’s hang the couplet left by my grandfather?”
Zhuang Rui smiled and joked, he had already told his mother about the origin and value of the couplet, and she didn’t say anything, but just asked him to keep it carefully, in her heart, the actual value of the couplet was far less than the thoughts of the old man and her husband.
Zhuang Rui put on a coat, wear a good hat, just to go out, met Zhuang Min with her daughter back to her mother’s home, needless to say, heard the uncle to go to the mall, the little girl that is vigorously to the uncle’s arms, Zhuang Rui have no choice but to hold the niece went forward together.
Since the large supermarkets into Pangcheng, many traditional stores have been forced to change their homes, have done supermarkets, but in this way, the people are a lot more convenient, things are cheaper, not to mention that almost a neighborhood, in front of the door is open supermarkets, not far from Zhuang Rui’s home, there is also a supermarket, and the scale is very large, is a large chain of supermarkets in Shenzhen, a large chain of supermarkets in Pangcheng opened a branch of the business is very good, snowy days! Even outside are crowded with people coming in and out.
Holding the little girl, with the crowd slowly into the supermarket, Zhuang Rui in this noisy environment, the heart is incomparable tranquility, and there is a warm feeling, perhaps this is life, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, plain and simple.
“Uncle, uncle, I saw the rogue uncle.”
Little Nui Nui lying on Zhuang Rui’s shoulder, two little hands desperately shaking, mouth also kept shouting: “Rascal uncle, rogue uncle.” Causing the crowd to look this way.
“Nui Nui, shout rogue uncle at home, don’t shout when you’re outside.”
Zhuang Rui sweated in his heart, looking along Nui Nui’s little hand, a gaze that could kill was staring dead on his side.
“Rascal, how did your kid run here, aren’t you busy with blind dates these days? What’s the matter, buying gifts to see your mother-in-law?”
Zhuang Rui hugged his niece and squeezed over to Liu Chuan, but did not notice that Liu Chuan was giving him a wink.
Came to Liu Chuan side Zhuang Rui realized that in Liu Chuan also stood next to two young women, let Zhuang Rui embarrassed, in the arms of the little nui nui nui see acquaintances, cheerfully shouted: “rogue uncle good.” No need to ask, upward and downward, next to the two surely know that inamorata this call is Zhuang Rui taught.
“Ahem, that’s what, Lei Lei, I’ve said that Zhuang Rui definitely doesn’t recognize you! I’ll introduce you, this is our little princess Nui Nui, is Zhuang Rui his daughter ah!” Liu Chuan boarded up his face, pretended not to hear the little inamorata’s words, and introduced the girl beside him in a serious manner, not forgetting to damage Zhuang Rui a few times.
“Hello, don’t listen to Liu Chuan’s nonsense, this is my sister’s child ……” Zhuang Rui smiled and interrupted Liu Chuan’s words, looking towards the woman called Lei Lei, and couldn’t help but praise her heart.
Although the woman looks just the upper middle posture, but wheat-colored face, full of sunny health beauty, foot one meter seven tall, standing next to the tall and strong Liu Chuan is no less, although the winter wear more clothes, or can see the girl’s proud body, must usually pay attention to sports.
Listening to Liu Chuan’s meaning of speech, he should know Lei Lei, just Zhuang Rui brain on this woman is really not much of an impression.
“Lei Lei? Lei Lei, oh, you won’t be the glasses girl, right??” Zhuang Rui recalled the name of a female classmate in junior high school and couldn’t help but shout in surprise.
The eyeglasses girl that Zhuang Rui said was indeed their classmate in junior high school, at that time, she had a ponytail, with a thick myopic glasses, she was very inconspicuous in the class, and then she didn’t know what the reason was for transferring to another school, so she didn’t have a deep impression, Zhuang Rui’s memory was good, and she recalled the name when she heard it, but he really couldn’t connect this youthful girl in front of him with the ugly duckling back then either.
The reason why Zhuang Rui still remembered the name is because at that time Liu Chuan had just watched the movie starring Stephen Chow in the movie Escape from school Wilson, the sense of justice was overloaded, and taught a few male students who shouted Lei Lei’s four eyes all day long in the class, because of this, Liu Chuan’s class was squatting horse stance for several days because his dad experimented the hardness of the sole of the shoe on Liu Chuan’s buttocks.
“The two of you in the beginning, your eyes are long on the forehead, which will pay attention to a girl like me, Zhuang Rui, previously see you full of honesty, it turns out that the talk is also quite poor.”
Lei Lei actually do not know, Zhuang Rui in junior high school that will be wilting bad, what things are his idea, Liu Chuan fight the charge.
“This one is?!”
Zhuang Rui looked to Lei Lei’s companion, but stayed, to say that the old classmate Lei Lei’s changes let Zhuang Rui some surprise, that Lei Lei’s companion is to let Zhuang Rui surprised, working in the fashion capital of Zhonghai, is accustomed to seeing all kinds of white-collar beauties Zhuang Rui, can not help but be lost in thought for a few seconds.
And Lei Lei healthy and energetic image is a little different, this woman’s appearance can be described as stunning, fair skin, slender eyebrows, slightly straight nose, a head of long black hair pulled up high on the plate in the head, so that her neck looks more slender, adding a few points of nobility and coldness, the body than Lei Lei but also slightly higher than a point, waisted one-piece leather jacket, but also will be the bumpy and chiseled figure is revealed, if the woman If this woman changes a tuxedo, Zhuang Rui will definitely think that this noisy supermarket is organizing a luxury cocktail party.
Can not be denied, Zhuang Rui in those few seconds of time, did move to use the aura to explore the idea of the secret path, only Zhuang Rui found that in the other pair of moving eyes, vaguely with a kind of coldness, seems to have some disdain?
Zhuang Rui’s father passed away when he was a child, since childhood, he has been somewhat sensitive to other people’s gazes, at this moment he subconsciously felt that this woman is not very good to get along with, so he did not show excessive enthusiasm, just smiled and nodded to it, and forcefully suppressed that kind of stunning feeling in his heart.
Qin Xuan Bing looked at this man in front of her, whose appearance and clothes are considered to be relatively ordinary, her mood is very bad, she was originally in Hong Kong by a bunch of flies annoyed really can’t stand it, so she didn’t tell her family, and secretly followed her good friend Lei Lei to spend the New Year’s Eve on the mainland, just to avoid those all day self-consciousness of the entanglement of the gentlemen, but the eyes of this man in front of her, and let her think of those nasty gentlemen, is to Qin Xuan Bing’s expression was cold as she looked back at Zhuang Rui.
“Wood, this is Miss Qin, a Hong Konger, Lei Lei’s friend, visiting the mainland.”
Liu Chuan introduced to Zhuang Rui, in fact, he is also very upset with this woman, although she is very beautiful in looks, but cold like a block of ice, the most unbearable thing for him is that his dad introduced a girlfriend to him, or a former junior high school classmate, he is quite satisfied with Lei Lei, but in these few days every time when they have a date, Lei Lei brings an ice cube plus a light bulb by her side.
“Okay, Lei Lei, it’s too crowded here, let’s just go!”
Qin Xuan Bing looked at the crowded crowd, frowned, she used to shop in Hong Kong, are to go to the specialty stores, and there are special people to entertain, is really not accustomed to some of this kind of scene in front of me, I knew that I would have stayed in Lei Lei’s home does not come out.
“New Year’s Eve, more people have atmosphere, get used to it, after buying things we go to Zhuang Rui’s home to eat, wood, you kid welcome?”
Liu Chuan actually brought them both here today to shop meaning, in fact, is ready to go to Zhuang Rui’s home at noon to eat, this cargo heart there is also an idea, wood with ice, they can also get rid of a light bulb, a move two ah!
“Welcome old classmates ah! It’s just that the temple is small, I don’t know if a few people appreciate the face.”
Zhuang Rui naturally wouldn’t refute Liu Chuan’s face, just faintly glanced at Qin Xuan Bing as he spoke, he could feel the other party’s coldness and just politely invited.
“Good ah! Good ah! Pretty Auntie go to our house for dinner! Grandma’s cooked dishes are delicious.” Nuan Nuan loved to be lively and clapped her little hands happily.
Lei Lei somewhat difficult to look at Qin Xuan Bing, her character is more straightforward, see Zhuang Rui is also quite happy, according to the rules of Pengcheng this side, other people invite you to eat at home, that is certainly as a valued guest hospitality, just Qin Xuan Bing’s character is more indifferent, Lei Lei is afraid that she will say something difficult to hear.
“I’m casual.”
Unexpectedly Qin Xuan Bing did not refuse, said indifferently, in fact, she did not want to go to a stranger’s home as a guest, but this time to Pengcheng, has already added a lot of trouble to Lei Lei, if she does not go, I’m afraid that Lei Lei will also reject the other party.
“Alright, buy something and grab it and go! This is also a bit too crowded.”
Liu Chuan first called Zhuang mother and told her that she would have a few friends over to the house for dinner in a while, and then a few people walked towards the shopping area.
Although Qin Xuan Bing gave Zhuang Rui a feeling like rejecting people outside of the country, but to the little inamorata is loved, not much work, the shopping cart is piled up with clothes and food bought for the little inamorata and many toys, there is also a Barbie doll, adding up to more than two thousand dollars, Zhuang Rui did not bring so much money on his body, a few times want to bring out the things bought for the inamorata, were Lei Lei stopped it.
“There is adultery ah! How did you kid develop so fast? Honestly explain!”
Taking advantage of Lei Lei pushing the inamorata in the shopping cart to walk in front, Zhuang Rui pulled over Liu Chuan and asked in a low voice.
Liu Chuan smiled with his eyes narrowed and said, “Hehehe, dude has charisma, there’s no way! I took her to the pet store for a day, people said I’m caring and down to earth, but dude didn’t forget about you either! The next one is not for you.”
In fact, Liu Chuan himself is also a bit puzzled, although his brother is long and tall, but not to the extent that people love, flowers see flowers open ah! Why Lei Lei seems to know quite a lot about herself!
“You fancy two together to collect, I’m not interested.”
Zhuang Rui did not have the good sense to answer, that woman is beautiful is beautiful, but also too cold point, outside would have been a few degrees below zero freezing, if this woman in the home, it is estimated that the temperature in the room are going to drop a few degrees, but it is a pity that the appearance of the body, as if someone at a certain time, it seems that they once wanted to use some means ……
Out of the time is Liu Chuan to buy the bill, just buy those clothes and toys to Nui Nui, but in Qin Xuan Bing’s insistence, separate out by her to pay the bill, a few people to the big bags thrown into the Liu Chuan car, to the Zhuang Rui home to drive to.
Just into the door, did not wait for Liu Chuan’s loud voice began to yell, Zhuang Min came out from the kitchen inside, red eyes, like just cried like, did not care to greet Lei Lei and others, on Zhuang Rui said: “Xiao Rui, mom just fell, hurt to the waist, said what are not willing to go to the hospital, you and Dachuan two go to persuade.”
