Chapter 19
Qiao Su took over the insulation box, not just accepting it.
The useless efforts that the old housekeeper did time and time again are finally working now. What it sends is a message, a message that Qiao Shu is willing to reconcile.
Ever since Qiao Su moved to this small town, he has never received anything from Mrs. Qiao.
In the beginning, in order to restore the heart of her son who was broken by her, Mrs. Qiao would come to see him in person. The young and beautiful woman who had already given birth to two children was full of eyes on him.
The Qiao family base camp is in the neighboring city A, and the round trip takes at least three or four hours, but Mrs. Qiao can only get rejected when she comes——Qiao Shu can't see her.
After that, Mrs. Qiao, who was depressed in her heart, learned to be good. She no longer came by herself to make people laugh. The old housekeeper took over her job. arrive.
It's been five years, and this is the first time Qiao Shu has accepted it.
The eyes of the old butler burst out with joy: "Master, you are—"
He might want to ask Qiao Shu if he no longer thinks about those things in the past and intends to repair the relationship with the Qiao family, but Qiao Shu didn't respond to him.
The tall and thin boy walked against the light with a white medicine bottle and courier in one hand, and an insulated box in the other. There was a smile on his face in the darkness.
***
Shen Su watched all this from afar, squatting beside the bushes on the side of the road to avoid Qiao Shu's sight, and waited for his back to disappear before heading home.
It was an old man giving something to Qiao Shu, and the scene can be explained in one sentence, with a hot face and a cold butt.
Shen Su didn't know what was going on with the atmosphere between them, but thought that Qiao Su was a good person and the problem shouldn't be on him, and when he turned his head, he found that the old man's expression had changed.
His smile only restrained a little bit, and most of the kindness disappeared. There were still some formative smiles on the old face, which was a little more hypocritical under the light.
There were more fights between people than Shen Su imagined, and he never cared about it. It was only because it was related to Qiao Shu that he saw this matter.
After Qiao Shu left, the old housekeeper only stood there for a while before driving away with the car window half open. When he passed by Shen Su, he glanced out.
Half of the young man standing by the roadside was dyed with dim light. Although half of him was hidden in the shade of the trees, he was like a fan with a radiant light, firmly catching his sight.
The car continued to drive forward, but the old butler looked back a few more times, and with his trademark kind smile on his calm face, he nodded at him.
Young people are always uncontrollably fond of their elders, and he knows this truth very well.
And Shen Su who was staring at him who had read through his thoughts: "..."
It's true that young people can't help but have a good impression of their elders. Don't you have a good impression of me?
Shen Su held her schoolbag, turned her head and smiled at him, the smile was extraordinarily bright.
The old butler received his response, and when he looked back, there was a smile in his eyes, but he didn't know that at the moment he turned his head, a mark that he couldn't see had already hit him.
The old housekeeper had no grievances with Shen Su, but he was not happy with Qiao Su.
To Shen Su, a stranger is dispensable, but if this stranger bullies Qiao Shu, he cannot be a dispensable stranger.
To Shen Su, who is Qiao Su?
Qiao Su is his landlord, and it's his 800 yuan. He even gave him delicious food in the morning for the past two days, so Shen Su's status in Shen Su's heart is naturally higher than that of this stranger.
Bullying Qiao Su was bullying his 800 yuan, Shen Su didn't like the old man very much, and only taught him a little lesson.
For the next few days, every night when he dreamed, he would dream of a group of laughing people laughing around him as if knocked out of his own mold.
Shen Su imagined that scene for a while, he looked like a smirking old man hell, he touched the goosebumps on his arms, and walked home quickly.
When Shen Su arrived home, Qiao Su was sitting on the sofa and opening a courier. Rhubarb was sleeping next to him, only moving his ears from time to time. When he opened the door, a person and a cat looked up.
There was only the white insulated box on the table, and Qiao Su held the box in his arms, but Shen Su didn't see the medicine bottle.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Xu Shi met someone he didn't want to see before, and Qiao Shu was not in a good mood. What was originally a question of concern turned into a question when he added a cold and hard tone.
He pursed his lips, glanced at Shen Su, then silently lowered his head and continued to unpack the package.
The scissors cut the tape, and Qiao Su opened the box before waiting for a response, thinking that his tone made people unhappy, but he saw Shen Su sitting next to him with his slippers on.
"I went to dinner with Yunda and the others, and we came back after talking a lot." Shen Su sat on the soft sofa and swayed his legs, leaning over to look at the box in his arms, "What is this?"
Qiao Su paused for a while, he looked at Shen Su's side face, the face in front was full of curious smiles, showing no sign of patience.
He himself felt that his tone just now was not very good, even if he was the landlord, no one would be happy with his sudden tone after only meeting him a few times.
In the past, he couldn't control his emotions like this, and then watched those people who didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly laughed at himself as a waste who couldn't even sleep.
He didn't have a headache, he was just upset, but he seemed to be taking it out on his tenant.
Qiao Shu was silent for a while, then subconsciously lowered his voice: "Chocolate."
The express box was opened, and inside was a bag wrapped in foam. Inside the bag was stuffed a large bag of half-finger-long chocolates, a large pile of bulging.
"Chocolate!" Shen Su's eyes lit up, "I haven't eaten chocolate yet!"
He blinked, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Qiao Shu's hand that opened the bag was stunned: "The chocolate you gave me before?"
Shen Su propped his chin with his hands, stared at the chocolates in the box and continued to look: "That one was given to me by an uncle, the ones outside are too expensive, I am not willing to buy it."
He met Yunda and the others in the supermarket before when they went out. He asked for one yuan and five yuan, but Shen Su didn't mention it.
Now that Qiao Shu has so many chocolates here, he should be able to share one of them.
Shen Su's eyes flickered, waiting for Qiao Shu's reaction.
In fact, he was more or less thinking of asking for credit, for the matter that he let the old housekeeper who bullied Qiao Shu have some bad dreams, although he couldn't tell Qiao Shu directly, Shen Su felt that he had vented his anger for him. , This will require a piece of chocolate and it is reasonable.
Qiao Su grabbed it for him calmly, but his heart was numb and he didn't know what it was like.
He only had one bar of chocolate, which he never even ate, but he gave it to him that night anyway.
Looking back at this time, Qiao Shu always felt that Shen Su looked a little bit reluctant at that time, probably because he was also reluctant to part with his piece of chocolate.
This seemed to be the first time since Mr. Qiao left, someone treated him well without thinking of anything in return.
It can't be said that it is completely unrequited, looking at Shen Su who is holding the chocolate and laughing, he also exchanged a piece of chocolate for more than [-] yuan to go back.
But this time, Qiao Su is willing.
He is willing to give him so much.
Shen Su happily counted the chocolates, and there were 26 yuan in total. He said generously to himself, but at the same time couldn't help but be happy. If he paid a piece of chocolate, he could get 26 yuan in a few days, which is a big profit!
He peeled off a piece and put it in his mouth. He liked the sweet and greasy taste. He looked at Qiao Shu gratefully, and said vaguely, "Thank you."
He's already prepared, and will share the rest with Yunda and the others tomorrow, and he still has five yuan left, so thinking about it makes him feel much better.
Qiao Shu hesitated for a while and asked, "You only have one piece of chocolate, why are you willing to give it to me?"
Shen Su thought about it, because that day he said that he would let him sleep well, but the sleep talisman was made like that and it was really impossible to give it away. All he had left was an apple and a piece of chocolate. It was clear which was bigger and which was smaller. He gave Qiao Shu the piece of chocolate.
But it can't be said that way, Shen Su beautified her psychological journey: "Because you looked very uncomfortable at that time, I want you to sleep better."
Qiao Su was silent and didn't look up for a while.
Shen Su looked at him curiously, while putting the chocolate in her hand into the schoolbag.
Qiao Su was still silent. After the silence, he grabbed a handful of chocolates and gave it to Shen Su. Under the gaze of Shen Su's slowly widening eyes, he pushed the white insulated box on the table.
Qiao Shu: "Do you want a drink?"
Shen Su: "What is this?"
Qiao Shu: "I don't drink the soup that others give me."
Qiao Shu: "You should like it."
