C30 (1/2)
They had finally reached their destination. Xia Ying brought Zhong Zhen to the house that she had always lived in since childhood, it was truly a long time since they had come back. The key was in An Xiyan's house.
”Have you and An Xiyan been neighbors since you were young?”
”Yes, my parents are very good friends. Of course, they used to be.” Xia Ying opened the curtains and the warm sunlight shone in.
”No wonder.” The proud and aloof Xia Ying was actually able to endure such a ruckus caused by An Xiyan.
The two of them cleaned the room from inside out and sat on the sofa to rest.
When Mother An knocked on the door, she could not help but be curious. After all, Xia Ying had not been back for a long time, so they could only occasionally call.
Xia Ying opened the door and let her in, ”Good morning Auntie, Xi Yan Company is still not on holiday yet. They will be back in a few days.”
”Don't worry about that girl. You just have to get annoyed when you see her.” Xia Ying could not help but snicker. Mother An continued to size Zhong Zhen up, ”This? ”Yes?” It seemed that the most curious person was Zhong Zhen.
Xia Ying signaled Zhong Zhen with his eyes to hurry up and stand up. After that, he turned his head and said to Mother An, ”I'm a friend, I've never been to this kind of town before, so I came to take a look. My name is Zhong Zhen.”
Zhong Zhen also stood next to his aunt, extended his hand and introduced himself, ”Hello Auntie! I am Zhong Zhen. ”
”Oh oh, oh oh, why did you speak so well in Chinese.” Mother An's eyes darted between the two of them. ”That's great.”
Xia Ying was speechless.
After sending off Mother An, Zhong Zhen leaned on the sofa and squinted his eyes at Xia Ying. Xia Ying had a helpless look on his face, ”What?!”
”I didn't expect you to have such a side!”
Xia Ying glared at her and did not say a word.
”Such a docile side. Haha — ”Zhong Zhen just did not expect to see such a Xia Ying, so docile and docile.
Xia Ying was speechless.
Xia Ying held onto the shopping bag, preparing to go out to buy some daily necessities and vegetables, but Zhong Zhen naturally could not miss such an opportunity, so the two of them went out.
Furthermore, Xia Ying had not returned for a long time, so many people did not recognize him. Furthermore, Zhong Zhen was also this foreigner, so the original ten-odd minutes, the two of them had actually not reached the destination for more than an hour.
The townspeople who were injured in the town were all very hospitable and they all cast curious gazes at the girl. Then, after a single question, they immediately knew who she was, ”Aiyo! So it was Yingying! It's already so big! ”
”Coming back this time for the holidays! That's great, they're all famous celebrities now! ”
”This is a boyfriend, right? Or a foreigner?! It's so good, so good! ”
Xia Ying felt that her face was about to turn stiff from the smile, but instead, it was Zhong Zhen who was tirelessly greeting others, looking as if it was a matter of course that they would meet again after a long time.
It was not easy to reach the supermarket. As the end of the year approached, the crowds surged in waves.
It was close to the end of the year, and the supermarket was packed with people. Looking down from the elevator, it was a black mass.
The two of them stood in the crowded and noisy supermarket, on the left the middle-aged woman shouted, ”What did you buy! Today's fish are very fresh! Hurry up and buy it! ” Someone on the right shouted again, ”Is that so? ”Chinese cabbage is also very cheap.”
And so on and so forth.
Xia Ying pushed the shopping cart and picked one for her. Zhong Zhen followed behind and helped her separate the crowd. Zhong Zhen had even brought Xia Ying to places with a lot of people. He had really gotten used to her cold and indifferent appearance, and wanted to get closer to see if she had a different side to her.
Someone suddenly approached, he pulled Xia Ying into his embrace and avoided the crowd.
Xia Ying was not used to such hustle and bustle, she just wanted to escape as soon as possible, but Zhong Zhen was the complete opposite.
Zhong Zhen secretly observed Xia Ying's expression. Luckily she was not too angry, she was still able to walk around for a while.
”It's been a long time since I've seen so many people come to the supermarket, right?” Zhong Zhen indifferently asked her.
Xia Ying picked up a bottle of red wine and nodded, ”When I was young, I liked wandering around the supermarket with mother.”
There was clearly no expression on his face, but Zhong Zhen still saw a different kind of gentleness in Xia Ying's eyes. That kind of expression, Zhong too liked it, and really wanted to buy the entire supermarket.
”Who else have you been with besides Mom?”
”There's nothing else.”
Zhong Zhen thought it was really good to be right now.
”Actually, I really can't imagine how someone with such a character like you can fight in the entertainment circle! I don't like to show off, I don't like the noise, and I don't want to cater to it. ”
”At the beginning, when you took the pictures, everyone would say that you took them beautifully. Later on, the praises would become beautiful. As long as you took them, they were really beautiful. Therefore, the emphasis is not on how to cater to the masses, but to have that kind of bright light, let others become blind for you. This is the way to survive in this circle. ”
Zhong Zhen never thought that Xia Ying would really talk about this with him, but the words he said truly startled him again. Such a woman was so perfect that no one could say anything.
”What is it? Did my scheming scare you? ” Xia Ying turned her head and looked at the silent Zhong Zhen. He did not have any expression, but his eyes were unsettled.
”This is considered scheming, we are all very scheming. I was just surprised that you could read it so well. ”
