"Is it time to...check out?"

The old lady squinted her eyes, couldn't help but look at Wan Hongzhuang, and then looked at the key in her hand, "211? Just check out a room?"

"What do you mean?" Looking at the meaningful expression on the old lady's expression, Wan Hongzhuang became a little confused.

"You're still pretending to be confused with me!"

The old lady looked disdainful and asked in a strange tone: "You... didn't... huh?" last night.

After saying that, she began to wink at Wan Hongzhuang, as if I had seen through everything.

No matter how slow Wan Hongzhuang's reaction was, he could still feel the teasing flavor in the old lady's words.

——She obviously misunderstood.

And this misunderstanding started as early as last night when he decided to come back and stay.

He could even clearly sense what was going on in the old lady's mind at this moment...

However, at this time, he didn't know how to explain it at all... What's more, no matter how he explained it, it seemed to only get darker and darker.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, so embarrassing that he couldn't help but have the urge to escape from here.

But then I thought about Xiaoxue still living here, and I don’t know how long she will live here... Then I thought about the sadness and sorrow on the face of the elf in the snow in the heavy snow flying all over the sky...

A soft spot in my heart felt like it was pricked by a needle, and I couldn't move away no matter what.

Seeing the hesitant look on Wan Hongzhuang's face, the smile on the old lady's face became even brighter.

"I thought you would come over to buy from me last night..."

A nagging expression appeared on her face again, she looked down at Wan Hongzhuang, and couldn't help sizing him up.

Being stared at by her like this, Wan Hongzhuang felt numb in his heart.

He frowned and asked subconsciously: "Buy... what to buy?"

The old lady stared at Wan Hongzhuang, but without stopping her hand movements, she casually took out a plastic package from the drawer at the front desk and pushed it in front of Wan Hongzhuang.

——Just a little raincoat.

"You're still pretending to be stupid with your aunt, aren't you?"

The old lady looked like she had seen through everything, "You came downstairs so early to buy this from your aunt? After all, it's still early. I told you yesterday that the check-out time doesn't need to be so early."

"How about two?" After saying that, she took out another one from the drawer, her face full of shrewdness, "It's cheaper for you."

"no, I'm fine!"

Wan Hongzhuang, who had not expected this at all, was at a loss for a moment, blushing and hurriedly waved her hand to refuse.

"Need not!?"

The old lady's expression instantly became confused, and then, an emotion called anger began to grow and spread on her face...

"Young man, I tell you as a person who has experienced this, this is not okay!"

"..."

Wan Hongzhuang was stunned.

He didn't know what he had done wrong and offended her sensitive nerves.

"Do you know how much damage it causes to girls? You kid can't see it. You look thick-browed and big-eyed. You wouldn't expect that you are also an irresponsible person!"

The scolding made Wan Hongzhuang's expression freeze instantly...

This old lady is really capable of making connections. Before he even had time to defend himself, her thoughts were already a million miles away!

He quickly raised his hand and explained, "I'm not saying I don't need it...ah, I'm saying I don't need this...it's not right either!"

Only then did he realize that no matter how he tried to defend himself, the topic seemed to have changed.

But the old lady still had her hands on her waist and looked at him coldly. The air was filled with the smell of embarrassment.

Wan Hongzhuang's chest was surging violently. Somehow, facing this old lady, he always felt a little guilty.

"I mean……"

After sorting out his thoughts after being led away, Wan Hongzhuang began to explain slowly again: "I mean, I don't need this at all, because the relationship between me and her really couldn't be more pure.

Nothing can happen."

After saying that, he took out a plastic package from his trouser pocket, which was exactly what the old lady forced on him last night.

However, after being placed in the trouser pocket for one night, the plastic packaging had already become wrinkled.

He looked straight at the old lady, his expression full of dissatisfaction, and shouted hoarsely: "You see! I'm useless!"

In the empty front hall, only two people stood there, silently confronting each other... Except for the occasional cold wind that leaked in, only the hoarse roar of Wanhong Zhuang's voice kept echoing there...

"I'm useless!" "I'm useless!" "I'm useless!"

"child……"

The expression on the old lady's face instantly changed from contempt to pity.

Wan Hongzhuang raised his head blankly. He didn't know why the old lady became so friendly in a blink of an eye, and why she looked at him pitifully.

The expression on the old lady's face became more and more pitiful, "It's hard for you to be like this at such a young age."

"It's all because of Auntie's fault for mentioning your sadness..."

After saying that, she lowered her head, her eyes filled with tears, which seemed to be about to burst out in the next second.

Then, she opened the drawer and took out a 50-yuan note. After thinking about it, the expression on her face became firm. She took out a red ticket from the corner of the drawer and pushed it to Wan Hongzhuang's chest.

before.

"Take it... buy more delicious food, don't wrong yourself."

Looking at the red ticket in front of him, Wan Hongzhuang was a little confused...and then, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

Wan Hong suddenly realized.

He hurriedly pushed the red ticket back and said, "Auntie, you misunderstood. I am fine and I am healthy."

In a panic, he quickly rolled up his sleeves and showed off his muscles to his aunt, "Look, I'm very strong. I'm not useless...ah, I'm useful..."

Well, as if walking into a maze of words, Wan Hongzhuang was at a loss again.

The old lady's face was full of compassion, "Okay, you will be useful, but you should keep the money... Just treat it as auntie and I have a affinity with you and am willing to give it to you."

To put it bluntly, she still believed in her own judgment.

Facing such a lovely little girl, she didn't believe that there was still Liu Xiahui in this world who could remain pregnant... Then, the only explanation was that.

——This young man is not very good.

Wan Hongzhuang hurriedly threw back the red ticket.

He loves money, and this is the first time he feels that this money is so dazzling and tricky...

After doing all this, he fled from here without looking back.

He didn't dare to stay any longer. He was worried that if he stayed any longer, his mentality would be able to persist...

Looking at Wan Hongzhuang's fleeing figure, the old lady couldn't help but become more sure of her judgment, and then shouted at his back: "You can come back if you have been wronged. Auntie understands you, poor child..."

…

Maybe it’s because it’s sunny after the snow, and everything is so beautiful.

——If it weren’t for the old lady’s unreasonable troubles earlier.

Fortunately, it was still early, and even if he walked slowly, he would not be late... Therefore, Wan Hongzhuang was happy to relax and walked slowly on the thick snow.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, so he took this time to carefully review everything that had happened since last night.

The most important thing is the dream last night.

It was clearly what he encountered on Ludao at that time, but due to his foresight, the ending changed slightly...

The most important thing is the rent of the house.

In his impression, he finally rented this house at a price of 850 yuan per month; but this time in his dream, he did not bargain, and the price was fixed at 1,200 yuan per month.

The rest is generally the same as in memory.

"By the way! And Fatty Wang!"

He still remembered that when he left that year, his expression was undoubtedly extremely depressed, but this time in the dream, he was chronically happy and left happily...

But, what's the point of this? Even if the scene in the dream is real, it is just a dream after all.

"Maybe... I'm overthinking it?" Wan Hongzhuang shook his head speechlessly to dispel the messy thoughts.

However, the appearance of Fatty Wang in his dream made him feel a lot of emotion...

At that time on Ludao, Fatty Wang was his best friend, no one else. When he was most depressed, it was this fat guy who stayed with him until he got through the most miserable years.

Later, when he decided to leave, the person he was most reluctant to leave was that damn fat man.

"I just don't know if he is doing well now?"

Wan Hongzhuang fell into deep thought.

In fact, since he came to Ganlong, the contact between the two has gradually become less and less. However, they still greet each other during every new year and festival. It's just that this damn fat guy doesn't seem to be having a smooth life in recent years.

That small intermediary store seems to have been sold out a long time ago.

Looking at his WeChat Moments during this period, it seems that he is working on a construction site. Even his profile picture has been changed to a photo of him wearing a safety helmet under the sun... He has not lost weight, but obviously, he has not lived a good life.

very good.

By the way, he occasionally borrowed money from Wan Hongzhuang, but he usually paid it back soon.

Wan Hongzhuang would not ask him the reason for borrowing money... This is the only remaining tacit understanding between the two.

Thinking of this, Wan Hongzhuang's mind suddenly moved, he took out his mobile phone and found Fatty Wang's WeChat account.

But the scene in front of him instantly made him panic... Although his shadow can still be seen in his WeChat avatar, it is completely different from the avatar in Wan Hongzhuang's memory?

Is the memory biased? Or has the chicken turned into a phoenix?

Wan Hongzhuang clicked on his profile picture a little unsure:

In the photo, he is standing at a reception in a suit and tie, looking like a successful man. It seems that he is celebrating something... And on the stage behind him, a few lines of large characters can still be vaguely seen, but

Because the focus of the camera was fixed on Fatty Wang's face, he couldn't tell the reason for the moment.

Wan Hongzhuang was a little confused. It hadn't been long since the last time the two of them contacted each other. How come he had undergone earth-shaking changes in the blink of an eye?

This made him a little worried: the only thing he could think of in this kind of scene seemed to be micro-business? Or some illegal organizations.

He hurriedly clicked on the dialog box. Wan Hongzhuang wanted to contact him to find out more, but he thought it was still early and he might not be able to see it if he contacted him rashly.

Therefore, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart for the time being and hurried to the store...

The breakfast shop on the roadside was bustling with people, and the morning news was being broadcast on the TV:

"Wang Real Estate Development Group recently came to investigate the current development of Yongzhou High-tech Zone, and the group leader Wang Chengpeng personally led the team..."

On the screen, Fatty Wang was having a cordial conversation with the city leaders with a serious smile.
