Chapter 347 Confrontation (please vote~)
Before returning to the educated youth point, Si Ningning had to go to the team to report to Zhao Hongbing, so Huo Lang rode directly to Zhao Hongbing's house.
The bicycle stopped in front of Zhao Hongbing's house. Huo Lang got off the car first, fixed the bicycle firmly, and then reached out to help Si Ningning get off the car, "It's cold outside, you go in first. It doesn't matter if you don't unload the things, it's all your own." Man, no one will take it.”
“Then at least give me the box. If you don’t bring any gifts to anyone when you come back from Beijing, forget it. There’s no reason why you’ll lose your own luggage.”
Holang had no choice but to unload the rattan box from the front of the car and hand it to her.
Si Ningning took the box, pursed her lips and asked Huo Lang coquettishly: "Aren't you going in?"
"I…"
Huo Lang was about to say that he was staring at the car at the door. Before he could finish his words, a man came out of the door of Zhao's house.
Mo Bei, wearing a dark gray long trench coat, stood at the door of Zhao's house. A white shirt collar was exposed in the middle of the collar of the two-page trench coat. With a handsome and cold face, he looked noble and capable.
At this time, one of his long legs is outside and the other is standing. He is standing on the ground neither entering nor exiting the door.
The three of them looked at each other, stunned.
"manage…"
Mo Bei clenched the handle of the box with his palms, his Adam's apple rolled for a moment, his eyes fell on Si Ningning and he was about to say something, when Huo Lang subconsciously grabbed Si Ningning's wrist and brought her towards him.
Stepping forward sideways, Huo Lang stopped in front of Si Ningning, his deep peach blossom eyes met Mo Bei's dissatisfied gaze with a smile:
“What a coincidence, Mo Zhiqing is back too, and Si Zhiqing has just arrived.”
Mo Beiling pursed his lips, raised his sword eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and gradually softened his gaze as he glanced behind Huo Lang.
Si Ningning didn't see the change in Mo Bei's expression, but Huo Lang saw it clearly.
Horang not only saw it clearly, but also felt very concerned about it.
He led Si Ningning to the door of Zhao Hongbing's house and urged with a hoarse voice: "Go and report to the captain first..."
After speaking, his eyes turned to Mo Bei. Huo Lang had an unusually friendly expression on his face: "I'll say a few words to Mo Zhiqing."
“…Well, okay.”
Si Ningning’s eyes wandered around the two of them. Seeing Huo Lang’s expression, he felt that there would be no big problem, so he nodded and crossed the threshold.
Mo Bei followed her and turned sideways. He originally wanted to wait for her to return to the educated youth point together, but Huo Lang did not give him this chance:
“Mo Zhiqing, you should have completed the application.”
Mo Bei paused for a moment, and during this brief moment of distraction, Si Ningning had already entered the main hall of the Zhao family.
He turned around in frustration and helplessness. When he looked at Huo Lang, his cold eyes contained a trace of anger: "What do you want to say?"
Mo Bei asked stiffly.
Huo Lang smiled hoarsely and did not care about the same temper as his children. He just rubbed the ends of his hair and said with a smile: "Nothing, I just want to say that Mo Zhiqing, you have had a hard time coming back. You can go back after you have finished reporting. As for Si Zhiqing …”
As soon as Huo Lang's voice slowed down, the talkative expression on his face suddenly disappeared. His eyes looking at Mo Bei contained some warning that only men could understand: "I will send her back in a while."
At one time, Huo Lang thought that he would not care about Mo Bei, a young man, but later he realized that jealousy could not be eliminated just because he was older than Mo Bei, or because Mo Bei was young.
When it comes to a partner, a man’s possessiveness always trumps everything else.
In this world, he is the only one who is Si Ningning's destination, and the only one who can change this is his death...otherwise, no one else can.
In the past, because Mo Bei was young and the son of Huo Lang's old comrade-in-arms, and because Huo Lang never talked about feelings with Si Ningning, he didn't know Si Ningning's true thoughts, so he never talked about it. There were too many positions and voices to warn Mo Bei, but it was different now.
Horang has clearly received a response from Si Ningning.
When you have substantial status, you will naturally have a straight back and confidence when speaking.
But Mo Bei didn't know all this.
Mo Bei spent several days during the Spring Festival in Nanluogu Lane in Beijing. During this period, he also followed the address to find Si Ningning. However, he did not find Si Ningning. Instead, he learned from Si Ningning's father, As early as the night of the 29th year ago, Si Ningning had already boarded the train back to the south.
Mo Bei didn't know why, and he asked Si Zhennan about it, but because family scandals should not be made public, Si Zhennan didn't say much, so Mo Bei could only return with regrets.
In the next few days, Mo Bei heard some news one after another from the aunts who lived in the same alley. He was disappointed not to see Si Ningning, but also because on such a day of reunion, Si Ningning was not there. I feel worried after experiencing such a horrible thing.
But due to some family reasons, he couldn't rush back immediately to take care of Si Ningning's feelings. He felt extremely uncomfortable. Finally, when the day came to return home, he rushed back, but in the end, during the conversation with Zhao Hongbing Mo Bei's heart dropped when he learned that Si Ningning had not returned to the production team.
It wasn't until he met Si Ningning again when he went out that he gradually recovered from the confusion. But before he could feel joy, and before he could say anything, Huo Lang hit him on the head like this, causing his chest and brain to vibrate and buzz. .
"I'm waiting for her because we are friends." Mo Beiping flattened his lips and tried to calm himself, "What qualifications and what position do you have to say that you want to send her home?"
Mo Bei's whole body was filled with cold air and his aura was fully activated. However, his aura was not enough in the eyes of Huo Lang, who had seen big scenes.
Furthermore, his hands and arms that couldn't stop shaking as he clutched the handle of the box betrayed his true emotions.
Mo Bei has always been very taboo about doing things that damage other people's feelings, so after he realized that Si Ningning liked Huo Lang, he had been deliberately hiding his feelings for Si Ningning.
But at this moment, Mo Bei realized something through Huo Lang's completely different attitude from before.
That is…
Si Ningning and Huo Lang’s relationship is progressing, maybe...
He really doesn't have any chance, and he won't have any chance again.
But even that is the case.
Even though he was mentally prepared early in the morning, when he learned everything, Mo Bei still found it physically and mentally unacceptable.
He stared at Huo Lang and asked fiercely and stubbornly:
“Captain Huo, don’t you think your hand is stretched too far and your control is too broad?”
"Listen, kid." Huo Lang's expression suddenly turned cold. He stretched out his hand to grab Mo Bei's lapel and carried Mo Bei to him. "Everything should be in line with Si Ningning. I don't want this matter to become known to everyone."
If Mo Bei is a lone wolf walking under the moonlight on a snowy night, then Huo Lang is the wolf king standing on the dangerous peaks of the mountains.
With the advantage of half a head above Mo Bei, he stared at Mo Bei condescendingly and warned: "And what I want to tell you now is that Si Ningning and I are also friends, far beyond the kind of friends between you." I don’t care what you think, but now the facts are in front of you, and everything shows that you are the one who is too involved and too lenient.”
Horang let go of Mo Bei's clothes and pushed him back, "We are all brothers and sisters in a big family. If you have the backbone and conscience, you don't need me to remind you. You know what to do next."
"Stop trying to control me like that! Who do you think you are? You obviously said it yourself, you won't like Si Ningning, but now...what do you think it means?"
Being stabbed in the foot by Huo Lang, he was forced to accept something he had always refused to accept. Mo Bei leaned against the door panel, his eyes red and his whole body trembling, staring at Huo Lang, "Is this fair? Conscience? Do you have one?!"
Horang was silent.
Of course he remembered what he said to Mo Bei in the bamboo forest.
He did say that nothing would happen to Si Ningning, but he didn't have much interaction with Si Ningning at that time.
Things happened at the beginning, but no one could predict what would happen later...
Huo Lang looked at Mo Bei, who had lost two of his three souls, with complicated eyes. To be honest, he felt a little ashamed in his heart, but now that the matter was at this point, he couldn't explain it clearly with a few words of apology.
“Love comes in waves, and there is no fairness in emotional matters.”
Huo Lang lowered his eyes and covered up the complicated look in his eyes, "If we talk about fairness, then I think 'fairness' must be in Si Ningning's hands."
“If she chooses you, then even if I love her from the bottom of my heart, I will still choose to bless her. In other words..."
Huo Lang suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Mo Bei with a firm and sharp gaze, "If she chooses me, I will devote everything I have to defending her without hesitation."
After Huo Lang finished speaking, Mo Bei stared at him more fiercely. His body might be angry or resentful, and he was trembling more and more violently.
The words have already stated the attitude, and there is no point in dwelling on it.
"Let's go back."
Holang leaned on the edge of the courtyard wall with his bicycle sideways, took a breath and said:
“You probably don’t want to be so embarrassed in front of the girl you like.”
Mo Bei lowered his head slightly, remained silent for a while, then took steps forward while holding the rattan box tightly.
Every step you take slowly is a humiliation and a heavy burden. Every step is like stepping between a knife edge and ice particles, so cold...
It hurts so much…
Huo Lang had a stern look on his face as he watched Mo Bei's figure round the corner at the end of the alley. He frowned slightly and took a few deep breaths on the spot to ease his mood to a point where he put on his gentle smile again and entered. Zhao's courtyard.
In fact, reporting back home is just a matter of one sentence to inform the team that someone is back.
The reason why Si Ningning went in for so long and didn't come out was entirely because Zhao Hongbing and Chen Lianmi were so enthusiastic. They poured water and served pumpkin seeds fried at home. When Huo Lang entered, the three of them were so enthusiastic. They were sitting in the main room chatting about home affairs.
Si Ningning was too embarrassed to speak until she left. After Huo Lang came in, before Chen Lianmi got up to pour the water, she stood up and quietly winked at Huo Lang, and then said:
"Fortunately, I bumped into Comrade Huolang in the county. Otherwise, I would have so much gear and I really don't know how to get it. Comrade Huolang, have you been waiting for a long time? I have already reported it here, and I can leave now. ”
After saying that, Si Ningning turned around and smiled at Zhao Hongbing and Chen Lianmi: "Uncle, aunt, I'll talk to you later when I have time. Comrade Huo Lang is still waiting to help me deliver my luggage. I'm sorry to keep him waiting for too long." "
"Alas, alas! Go, go first!" Zhao Hongbing and his wife got up and sent them off to the door of the hall. Zhao Hongbing said: "You should be tired after sitting in the car for so long. Go back and have a good rest. In two days Now that the day is over, let me know in advance when classes are going to start, and I’ll go door-to-door to inform you.”
"Okay, uncle, the children have probably had enough fun during the past few days during the Chinese New Year. In order to speed up the course as soon as possible, let me see, the eighth and ninth grade classes can be opened. The specific time will be discussed with Jiang Zhiqing when I go back. "
Originally, he wanted to mention something about Si Ningning’s class. Seeing that Si Ningning had a schedule and arrangements, Zhao Hongbing was slightly relieved and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, slow down..."
Seeing Huo Lang pushing his bicycle, Zhao Hongbing asked again:
“Alang, where did you get the bicycle? Oh, forget it, let’s go and send Si Zhiqing back first, and we’ll talk about the bicycle later!”
Zhao Hongbing waved his hand and dismissed Si Ningning and Huo Lang.
Horang didn't do any ink. After saying "Alas", he directly passed the rattan box in Si Ningning's hand and fixed it on the front of the car. He pushed the bicycle and followed Si Ningning back one after another.
Literacy classes have not started yet, so the section of trail that leads to the educated youth spot is almost deserted. The two of them were walking side by side. Thinking of something, Si Ningning asked:
“What did you say to Mo Bei just now?”
"I didn't say anything." Huo Lang paused, slowed down, and lied casually: "He said he would wait for you for a while, but he thought you were too slow, so he went back first."
Si Ningning nodded. Seeing Huo Lang's tense expression, she laughed twice, pulled Huo Lang's sleeve and explained:
“Mo Bei is a bit stunned and has little patience, but he is actually not a bad person, so don’t think too much about it.”
Holang looked at her sideways and said "hmm" in a neutral tone.
After a moment of silence, he finally couldn't help but stop, looked at Si Ningning and said seriously: "Maybe you should keep a certain distance from him."
"Um?"
Si Ningning slowed down and met Huo Lang's gaze with a frown, "What?"
Huo Lang pursed his thin lips slightly, taking in Si Ningning's confusion. After a while, he continued:
“Just like you understand Sanae better than me, men also understand men’s thoughts better than women.”
The subtext of these words is that Mo Bei has evil intentions towards Si Ningning.
It's a bit hard to say that the intention is evil, but Si Ningning can understand the underlying meaning of this sentence.
Si Ningning lowered her eyes and shook her head slightly, unconsciously recalling the scenes of her usual contact with Mo Bei. After recalling everything, she found that there seemed to be a little bit wrong, but it should not be enough. To the extent that Horan said.
Although she was still skeptical about Huo Lang's words, Si Ningning felt that since she had recognized their relationship, she should do her best to be honest and reassure each other, so she nodded lightly and agreed without any scruples. Holang requested:
“I’ll pay attention.”
Si Ningning's words were enough to make Huo Lang put aside all his scruples and grudges.
Horang closed his eyes gently, visibly relaxing.
It doesn't matter what others think, it's enough for Si Ningning to face him.
Opening his eyes again, Huo Lang returned to his usual gentle and soft-spoken appearance:
"Okay, let's go! I'll take you back. Just like the captain said, you should have a good rest these two days, otherwise you will be busy in the next few days and your body will not be able to bear it."
Si Ningning raised her eyebrows and nodded vigorously, "Yeah."
Please give me a monthly pass~~~
