11 - Women are addictive, wine is love, smoke is a friend
"Child, didn't you say that you would come back early tonight?" The food is cold. " His mother's urgent reproach came through the phone. Bai Jingling looked at Mu Yi Chu, then tilted his head, and covered his mouth with his hand, not daring to reply loudly, "Un, I'm sorry Mommy, we suddenly met a classmate, so we can have a meal together."
"Male students and female students? "Child, even if you were eating with your classmates outside, you still have to let me know. It's a good thing that your grandpa just ate first, otherwise, how long would we have to wait for you?"
"Yes, there are boys and girls, both girls and boys. How about the few of us? I'll notice next time, I'm sorry, Mommy. " Bai Jingling looked left and right.
"Alright, then when you're with your classmates, Mommy won't disturb you for too long." Come back early. When your grandfather just finished eating, he said that he actually saw Bai Zhongning today. "
"Wha-at?" Bai Jingling's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, causing Mu Yichu to look over in confusion.
"Hey, how could that be possible? The old man probably wanted his granddaughter to go crazy. You also know that in the entire family, only that strange and spleen-hearted grandfather of yours and Bai Zhongning's parents are thinking about her. Hey, let's not talk about it anymore, you should go home early, don't play too late, understand? "
Bai Jingling was still immersed in the shock of his mother saying that her grandfather had seen Bai Zhongning, and the voice in her phone continued to bounce and clap. Bai Jingling was still listening, but she felt as if she had hearing loss of awareness, and did not hear a single word his mother had said, as if a barrier had been erected outside her ears.
She answered a few times and hung up. He pressed the phone against his chest with both hands and looked at Mu Yi Chu.
"What? What did your mom say?" Mu Yi Chu didn't really want to know about the relationship between Bai Jingling and her mother, he just casually asked this question seeing that Bai Jingling seemed to really want to be questioned. This was probably one of the signs of adult politeness.
"My mommy said, said my grandfather told her, he, he saw Bai Zhongning today." Bai Jingling said in hesitation.
Mu Yi Chu was a little dizzy from being circled by Bai Jingling, he was the top student, so why was his speech so incomprehensible? He frowned and raised his hand, "What? Wait — who exactly saw Bai Zhongning? "
"My grandfather." Bai Jingling replied. Mu Yi Chu's reaction was just as she had expected. It was especially intense.
Bai Jingling did not know what happened between Mu Yi Chu and Bai Zhongning. But when she thought back to when she had first met Mu Yichu, all of the conversations and questions that Mu Yichu had, including the reason why she was kidnapped by him today, all of this had revolved around Bai Zhongning.
Bai Zhongning, didn't she die? Bai Jingling pursed her lips and felt a little suspicious.
Neither of them spoke, and they sat in silence. In the bustling, colorful images, only their messy table of food and people looked as if they had lost their color and had lost their thread.
"Your grandfather, where did he see Bai Zhongning?" Mu Yi Chu took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, and started smoking without caring about whether Bai Jingling was able to endure the smell of the cigarette. The strong tobacco smoke assaulted his nose, giving him an indescribable sense of security.
Women were his addiction. Alcohol was his hobby and pleasure. Smoke was his only friend.
Bai Jingling rolled her eyes as she thought deeply for a moment, and slowly said, "Two years ago, my grandfather suffered a stroke with half of his body paralyzed. Always living in a wheelchair. Other than going to the hospital every Tuesday, he spent most of his time at home. That was his only activity. "Therefore …"
"It's not Tuesday." Mu Chu looked at the screen of his phone. Friday, 20: 07. He flicked his ash gracefully on the plate in front of his desk. "So, Bai Zhongning either appeared at your house or near it."
"Yes." Bai Jingling also thought so.
"Do you believe in ghosts?" Mu Yi Chu exhaled the smoke in his mouth and looked at Bai Jingling with an alluring gaze. He was unconsciously exuding his charm all the time.
"I don't believe you." Bai Jingling replied almost instantly, and his tone was extremely resolute and decisive. She believed in science and had no other religious beliefs, a typical materialist.
"I didn't believe it either." Mu Yi Chu's eyes dimmed. "But recently, I seem to have been found by ghosts." Mu Yi Chu's lips curved up in a forced smile, full of helplessness.
"But I don't believe that some things are done by ghosts. "So," Mu Yi Chu put out the nearly smoked cigarette in his hand. He raised his eyes to look at Bai Jingling, and firmly continued, "There must be someone pretending to be a ghost, pretending to be Bai Zhongning."
"And you kidnapped me because you suspected me?" Bai Jingling frowned as he asked with uncertainty, but in his heart, he was gradually enlightened.
