Rice's Short Stories (Chapter ④: Rapid Progress)

Xiaojing: I'm glad you can listen to me.

Xiaowen: Nothing. I hope you can be happy.

Xiaojing mused: Do you have someone you like?

Xiaowen: No.

Xiaojing: If one day a girl likes you, what will you do?

Xiaowen: I haven't thought about this question before. After all, I am a girl myself. But there really is. If I am happy with her, I think I can accept her.

Xiao Jing: What if your parents don't let you accompany her? What would you do?

Xiaowen: They don't care about me anymore. Only I can decide my own life.

Xiaojing's gentle voice: Why did you say they wouldn't care about you?

Xiaowen: My parents divorced when I was very young. My father died in an accident when I was seven years old. My mother has remarried and has her own family.

Xiaojing: Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it.

Xiaowen: Nothing. I haven't seen my parents since I can remember. In my memory, they don't seem to exist at all.

Xiao Jing asked in detail: So you live alone now? Any brothers or sisters?

Xiaowen wry smile: I have three sisters, but I have been married for a long time and never came back. I do live alone now.

Xiaojing was a little embarrassed and asked, can I live with you? Rent a house together. . My family belongs to an ordinary family and rents a house here. Some time ago, my father and my mother moved to another place because of business. I wanted to follow, but I didn't want to follow, and the rent was due, because I couldn't afford the rent for the big house I rented, and I planned to live in another place.

Xiaowen is very straightforward: Yes, come to my house. Just living together. No rent. But how about splitting the utilities?

Xiaojing shines at the moment: Really? I've been looking for a house recently. If so, can I move in tomorrow? !

Xiaowen is a little embarrassed: but my family is quite old, not big. If you don't mind, come and live with me tomorrow.

Xiaojing smiled happily: Aren't you afraid that I am a bad person? We haven't known each other long.

Xiaowen: If you are a bad person, then I should also be a bad person, a bad person who kills people without blinking an eye. (Suddenly the atmosphere quieted down. )

Soon Xiaowen said with a smile, I have a holiday tomorrow. Can I help you move things?

Xiaojing: I'm sorry about that.

Xiaowen: Nothing.

I don't know why there seems to be a warm light in the silent Xiaowen's heart, and his speech has become relaxed and natural. There is no special feeling of sunken gums.
