Xu Nuo was a little hesitant, and I heard a woman's voice when she was talking. It should be Xu Nuo talking to her mother.
After a few seconds, I heard the sound of the unit door opening: "Forget it, let's wait until you come up. I'll ask the elevator to go down to pick you up. Just wait a moment."
"Okay, then open the door for me."
I stood downstairs for a minute, waiting for the elevator to come down and then stepped in. As soon as the door opened when I got upstairs, I saw a mess in the living room of Xu Rui's house.
I don’t know what she went through, but broken wine bottles and broken porcelain pieces were scattered on the floor. At that time, Xu Nuo’s mother was cleaning up the garbage on the floor with a broom, and Xu Nuo followed behind her with a mop.
There were only two of them at home at that time, and her mother's eyes were still a little red.
When I saw this scene, I thought it was a quarrel between mother and daughter, so I didn't dare to ask any more questions. I put down my things and trotted to her mother: "Come on, auntie, please rest for a while."
"No, no, no, just this little work, it will be done in two minutes."
Her mother's arm holding the broom dodged me: "Child, why are you buying so many things when you come here? Go and sit on the sofa. The three of us will go out to have some food later."
"Hey, I haven't seen you for such a long time. I can't come here to see you and my uncle empty-handed. It's not a valuable thing, so I just treat it as a New Year greeting to you."
I smiled at Xu Nuo's mother: "Isn't my uncle back yet?"
As soon as I said these words, I saw from the corner of my eye that something was wrong with Xu Nuo's expression.
Moreover, her mother's eyes were a little dodgey, and her tone when she answered me sounded like she was lying: "Nono's father has something to do. I think he will be back today if he is tired. I don't care about him. Let the three of us spend the day together."
As soon as I saw this situation, I understood what was going on.
He quickly followed her words and continued: "That's okay. Anyway, I came home mainly to see you. You should be busy first. I'll put the durians and cherries I just bought in the refrigerator.
"
"Stop working so hard, just sit back and relax."
Xu Nuo's mother turned her head away: "Xu Nuo, you can take Gu Yan back to the house for a while, and I'll clean up by myself."
"Ah, okay."
Xu Nuo looked very good at the moment and answered very simply. He put down the mop and came over to tug on my clothes: "Let's go, there happens to be something wrong with my computer, please help me take a look."
"Okay, let me help you take a look. If you need help, auntie, just call me."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
After that, I followed Xu Nuo back to her bedroom. It was still the familiar pink room. The room was very clean, the sheets and quilts were all newly changed, and it also had the compound scent of laundry detergent and sun exposure.
But the mood of the owner of the bedroom was obviously not very sunny. As soon as he closed the door and Xu Nuo leaned against the door, his face immediately became full of mourning.
I stretched out two fingers and forced the corners of her mouth upwards: "Why are you doing this during the Chinese New Year? Someone in your family has died?"
"There's just been a death in your family, why can't you say something nice knowing it's the Chinese New Year?"
"Just kidding, don't be impatient."
I tilted my head toward the door: "Did your dad break those cups and plates outside?"
"Um."
Xu Nuo sniffed: "My mother started working at 7:30 and cooked six dishes. In the end, she didn't eat even one bite and asked her to overturn the table."
"For what?"
"because……"
After saying these two words, Xu Nuo thought about it and then closed his mouth.
The more she behaved like this, the more curious I became: "It shouldn't be possible. Your father is not an unreasonable person, and your mother has such a good temper. It's impossible for him to be angry at your mother. Did you provoke him?"
"Have you got anything to do with me? Do you think of me before any bad thing in your mind?"
"I didn't mean that. Isn't this just guessing?"
"Then keep guessing, I don't want to talk now, my head is going to explode."
Xu Nuo sat down on the bed, leaned back, and put her arms behind her. The bed was soft and soft, and its rebound made her whole body tremble twice.
I was all amused: "What are you doing? You are lying there with your hair disheveled like a dead dog."
She remained silent.
I ignored her and sat down on the chair in front of her dressing table, opened the drawer and started to pull out her small items.
There is almost no difference from what I saw last time when I came to her house, except that there is an extra mobile phone box inside, and there is a Mercedes-Benz key on the table. This woman's life is getting better and better.
However, the photo of her ex-boyfriend has disappeared, replaced by a set of artistic photos of herself. We don’t know when they were taken.
There was only so much on the dressing table, and after five minutes of tinkering, I almost turned everything over.
When I closed the drawer later, Xu Nuo said faintly like a female ghost: "Gu Yan, please teach me some magic."
"What spell do you want to learn?"
Xu Nuo organized the language: "Well... it's the kind that can affect a person's thinking, such as making him like someone or making him hate someone. It's a bit like hypnosis and suggestion in psychology."
I hummed and answered her: "You can't teach it."
"Why?"
"With your virtue, I'm afraid that after I teach you spells, you will easily use these spells to do some harmful things, such as putting a curse on a little boy and making him sleep. Shouldn't I be blamed for this sin?
"
"Can you be more serious?"
He sat up from the bed and said, "I'm telling you the truth, teach me, I can be useful."
I blinked and took a few glances at her.
Then I conveniently picked up the cigarette case she placed on the dressing table, took out a cigarette from it and lit it: "Now you don't have to smoke behind anyone's back? Then tell me, let me teach you what to use these for."
Xu Nuo opened her mouth and said: "My dad, he has someone outside. That girl is one year younger than you."
I was smoking at the time, but the promise made me choke the cigarette into my lungs.
The strong foreign body sensation made me cough for half a minute. Smoke was coming out while coughing, and I choked with tears.
Xu Nuo looked at me with that disgusting look: "As for that? Can a puff of cigarette make you choke like this?"
"Why not? It's an instinctive reaction."
I was choked by the cigarette and had no intention of smoking. I just pinched it into the ashtray, then sat down next to Xu Nuo: "What's going on? Tell me in detail, how did you find out?"
"Because I saw the chat history between him and that woman."
Xu Nuo took out his phone from his pajamas pocket, unlocked it, swiped it a few times, and put it in front of me: "These are the pictures next, take a look for yourself."
