The second chapter of "Secret Love of Peach Blossom Robbery": There are many dangers.

Chapter I: Borders

( 1)

In a trance, I only feel my body is light, as if I were floating, and as if Sunan picked me up. As it gets darker and darker, I seem to have gone back to a long time ago ... when I first saw a teenager with flat legs under the big willow tree in C West Park.

That's Tomb-Sweeping Day, a junior. Sunan invited me to meet him in C, and then we went to Fangshan for an outing. I went with a big bag of snacks, and as a result, I arrived at Xiyuan in C, where a large group of classmates surrounded me, as if someone had confessed in public.

At that time, I thought the school spirit of C University was really open. Seeing the increasingly romantic nature in southern Jiangsu will not be destroyed by this open atmosphere.

But which one rang, when I broke the circle, coincidentally, the object of confession turned out to be Sunan. This grandson provoked peach blossoms everywhere before he grew up in high school, not to mention his junior year. His face is getting more and more handsome and his altitude is getting higher and higher. All designers pay special attention to self-image. In addition, he was born with a heart of Jia Baoyu, surrounded by the so-called sister group all day.

What a femme fatale male fox, but the key problem is that it is a fair-skinned and beautiful long-legged goddess who professes the fox.

I remember that the weather was bad that day and there were no cumulus clouds, but I always felt gloomy and depressed. The wind is a little cold, and my hands and feet are still cold when I wrap my cotton-padded clothes tightly.

By the way, it rained for a while, so after the girls successfully got their hands on Sunan, the students who were watching the scene had no time to pee and let the hero and heroine kiss, so they ran away in the rain. It is really a group of people who have no quality to eat melons.

But the heroine is quite qualified. She not only kissed Sunan in the spring breeze and drizzle, but also rummaged through the bag in his hand, which Sunan bought for me. Since then, I have never eaten anything that is black.

Later, Sunan's conscience gave me a call. I didn't tell him where I was. I just said it was more suitable to sleep in the dormitory and brush soap operas on rainy days, so I stood him up.

Although I didn't know at that time that putting a piece of ice in my heart was as painful as jealousy, the girl's reserve told me that it was a cheeky thing to make a shiny light bulb.

I put the potato chips and chicken legs in my bag on the bench under the willow tree, pulled up my bag and began to eat. People who eat melons can't live without them. I don't know where it started. As long as there is something in your heart, you must find a way to fill your stomach, otherwise the whole person will be empty, like an abandoned hydrogen balloon, teetering everywhere.

"ah! Classmate, don't litter! "

I looked back with a mouthful of potato chips, and a handsome guy stood behind me, staring at me with a pair of peach eyes that were a bit like Sunan people, with spring in his eyes.

"Hey ... this is for you. Don't forget to clean the chair. It's full of potato chips you dropped. People get dirty when they sit down. "

It took me three seconds to understand. This was rejected by people in C University, who disliked me for soiling their territory. I don't know why, I was wronged at that time, so I was allowed to tell the truth about the goddess of long legs with beautiful skin, but I was not allowed to throw a few chips, so I didn't bully anyone.

Seeing that the paper towel for cleaning the chair was used by me to wipe tears, the handsome boy suddenly panicked: "Don't cry, classmates, I didn't say anything else. Ok, you eat yours and I'll help you clean up after eating, okay? " I was wrong. I surrender. "

"Just now that girl lost so many petal balloons, why don't you control it, just to control me and eat your home? I didn't see that I was in a bad mood! "

"I ..." The boy looked at Sunan, who was still in the rain, and suddenly realized, "I see, which male fox fan are you? The person you like has been run away, and you are so unhappy? "

"male fox?" I jumped up and stamped my feet excitedly: "You think he is also a male fox!" " "

"Otherwise, all the girls in the same department like him, even Jiang Xiaoqi ..." The boy suddenly stopped and sighed, and changed the subject: "Don't be fooled by this smelly boy's appearance. He was born a disaster, but he is a little long. What am I worse than him? "

"You're just Uber! Your whole family is evil. I have known Sunan for so long. Is he only attractive to girls? "

Although I kept saying that Sunan was a fox, hearing someone speak ill of him inspired me to protect the mother calf, but the boy in front of me couldn't help moving his eyes. "Are you a friend of Sunan?"

"I am his best friend. Don't speak ill of him in front of me. "

Seeing the young Lang sipping his lips in front of him, he handed a paper towel slightly embarrassed. "I'm sorry, in fact, I am a classmate in southern Jiangsu. I am jealous that he likes girls, so I just had a mouth addiction. Don't take it seriously! "

"Classmate?"

"Yes, we come from the same department. My name is Li Yian. May I see you? "

"My name is Li Yian. May I see you? "

"My name is Li Yian. May I see you? "

(2)

The devil's voice circled in my mind over and over again, as if it were an echo from hell. I was suddenly awakened, covered in wet cold sweat, and my eyes were muddy white, and a vague figure kept shaking my arm.

"Wake up ... Su Miao ... Su Miao?"

I tried to open my eyes for a long time, and the figure in front of me gradually became clear: "Sunan? My whole body hurts, and I almost fell apart by your shock. "

"You idiot, you scared me to death!" Sunan took me and held me in his arms, and his warm breath slowly spread around the auricle.

"I can't die. I haven't seen you marry a wife. How did you die so soon!"

"Bah! Don't scare me like my mother, you coward! " He put me back on the bed, turned around and poured me a cup of warm water. "The doctor said that you were all right, but your forehead was a little bruised. The main reason is that the last injury was too heavy and emotional, which caused you to be in a coma for several hours. "

Only then did I see clearly that I was lying in the hospital bed with several roommates. A handsome male doctor came in and changed my forehead. He turned to Sunan and said, "Do couples need such cruel hands to fight?" Look at your wife. Old injuries and new injuries are much more harmful to your health. What kind of man is the man who hits a woman! "

"I ..." Sunan subconsciously explained, but the words came to her mouth and she swallowed back. He curled his lips and said, "Yes, men who hit women are assholes!" "

"Doctor …" I was about to explain when Dr. Jun interrupted me angrily: "You don't need him to help me. I have seen many little girls like you. It is because women are timid that they spoil men into assholes! "

"yes! A melon! " When Sunan sent the doctor out, he did not forget to quietly raise his middle finger to me behind him, which provoked several patients who knew the truth to cover their mouths and smile.

Out of the hospital, I remembered that today is the last day of 20 15, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. At 0 o'clock, Sunan and I sat on the balcony with beer, looking up at the stars, thinking about life and welcoming the beginning of the new year. For Sunan, this may be the most boring New Year's Eve.

So I really feel guilty for him. Shun 'an happily teased two men to comfort me in Aiyi Bar on Beijing Road, but he looked at my messy bird hair, half of my face was like steamed bread, and the whole person was wrapped in a down jacket into a big zongzi, which was completely the simple temperament of the aunt in the garden.

Sunan sighed: "Hey! Let's stay at home! Su Miao, your current temperament is really suitable for watching the Spring Festival Evening. "

Coincidentally, my computer was robbed by Li Yi 'an, and the only TV was not spared. This is the best time to die.

Sunan wailed again: "Then let's ... let's watch the stars together ... We haven't thought about life for a long time ..."

So, I ran to the convenience store downstairs, holding a lot of beer and drinking a few sparse stars to sing. Fortunately, the weather is still very strong today, and there is no light rain hanging under the north wind.

I am puzzled by Sunan's great feat of never giving up today. Usually, he is not the kind of person who values friendship more than sex! I watched him carefully. Although I am a little white rabbit devastated by violence today, I shouldn't care about his peach blossom debt, but I really can't help gossiping.

"Don't aim, I left Sun Shimei at home."

"How did you know I was going to ask this?"

Obviously, I didn't catch the important message of this sentence in southern Jiangsu.

"What? Are you at home after New Year's Eve? "

Sunan threw me a few dirty eyes with a look of "You are dead if you don't pretend to be innocent" and continued to look up at the deep sky.

"Well ... I admit it's strange that you don't take her home!" Suddenly a cool breeze blew, and my dizzy head suddenly woke up, and finally remembered the key point: "But ... how did you get out of the gentle town so soon?"

"Well ..." It's rare for Sunan to look embarrassed: "I want you to take care of it!"

I struggled to put a bad smile on my swollen face and silently watched him not talk. After 30 seconds, Sunan surrendered: "I ... I'm in a bad mood today ..."

"Can this be a fucking reason why you don't sleep with other girls?"

"Don't forget that you are hurt now. Can you put aside the gossip for a while? You ruined the atmosphere on a beautiful and sad night. "

I left my pie mouth and gave him a bad look. I finished my beer in one breath and turned to go inside. "Then I won't ask, you slowly think about life."

Twenty minutes later, Sunan blocked me cross-legged on the sofa and acted as his emotional trash can.

Sample! I can't cure you yet!

It's always a clever move to get carried away with people like Sunan.

"According to the old driver's routine of picking up girls, it only took me three hours to chat with Sun Shimei at home, during which I spent a meal with western food in 500 yuan and roses in 200 yuan, strolled from Shanghai Road to Beijing Road, and finally went to the hotel room. It was quite harmonious, smooth and enjoyable all the way down. But when I put Sun Shimei on the bed and started talking. ...

I blinked and looked at Sunan expectantly.

Sunan paused and seemed a little embarrassed: "Obviously, that Sun Shimei is a great romantic master. Conveniently, a small waist like a water snake wrapped around my body, but when I took off her clothes, there were only two white clouds left, and suddenly a feeling of nausea came into my mind, which was never felt before ... "

"I don't want to continue, immediately stopped, Shi-mei sun watery eyes looked at me, that flushed face carried away by lust didn't interest me again. At that moment, I really hated this glistening body, tired of disgust. I said I couldn't describe what kind of experience it was. Anyway, I'm not interested in that at all. I just want to escape at once. "

I adjusted my sitting posture slightly and continued to raise my expectations to a higher level. This is indeed a very serious problem. You know, I have known Sunan for so many years. He is a damn goat, but he can't live without a woman.

There have been two legends about southern Jiangsu. One is that more than 200 girls have been sleeping in southern Jiangsu until now, but he has an extraordinary function of remembering all the bust sizes and birthdays of these 200 girls.

Second, the reason why Sunan is so lewd is that she was ugly when she was a child and was rejected by girls, so she left a psychological shadow. Make up for the psychological trauma of youth with a perverted lust.

Regarding these two legends, as a senior member of the Gossip Association and the first good friend of southern Jiangsu, I made a very in-depth, professional, objective and comprehensive investigation. Sunan did sleep with many girls, about 50 at most. Of course, he told me this himself, and the truth is not flattering. As for his ability to remember busts and birthdays of girls, Su Nan explained that he was born with no sense of names.

Although this is a very brain-consuming technical work, there is no lack of accuracy and mystery. These explanations for southern Jiangsu have also caused a lot of anger! There was once a wave of men who called him an old driver of love rat bitch, crying and shouting to worship Sunan as a teacher.

Regarding the second rumor, I believe it is totally untrue. I've had the privilege of seeing pictures of him wearing diapers. The beauty of people and animals in southern Jiangsu has existed since childhood. Sue's mother told me that when she was in elementary school in southern Jiangsu, she was kissed by the little girls in her class, which shows that she was born a fox sent by heaven to provoke peach blossoms.

Many people have been wondering whether Su Nan and I can wear a pair of pants. He fought for me, shed blood and survived the storm. It was a firm revolutionary friendship, and I didn't have anything about love with him?

Frankly speaking, there is no such thing. When a man openly discusses the details of his love, flirting and even going to bed in front of a woman, and also shares with you what kind of girl is free in bed and what kind of girl likes to bully the president, he really doesn't include this woman in his love object.

Unfortunately, I am that woman.

Although I never wanted to be this woman.

I coughed twice and talked nonsense to him solemnly. "Maybe someone's sister is too active and makes you feel unchallenged, so it is clear and tasteless."

"No, absolutely not. As a battle-hardened old driver, I have long lost interest in flirting. I still like to do it quickly, not to mention Sun Shimei's goddess Yan value. According to the truth, I like how coquettish she is. "

"I think your shameless state can really fucking peak!"

"Sue. People tell you seriously, seriously! "

"all right! That is, you are physically weak today, and your brain reminds you not to provoke peach blossoms! "

Su Nan gave me a knife eye! "For whatever reason, this is just bad news for me!

One day, the playboy between peach blossoms suddenly lost interest in womanhood, which was no less than Hitler's sudden aversion to ruling the world, Shylock's sudden unwillingness to be a miser and Su Miao's unwillingness to eat. This is a complete loss of confidence in life.

Thought of here, I can't help but feel beautiful in an instant and feel a lot of comfort. I had a family explosion. Unemployed for two months, nothing, wandering in a daze I think I may be the most unlucky person in the world.

Well, seeing the slouches in southern Jiangsu, my little heart instantly found a good source of vitality.

"Su Miao, your conscience was eaten by a dog?"

"It's okay! I am playing with you. I don't think it is a big problem. There is something wrong with the hardware and Viagra to save you. At most, there is something wrong with the thread in the CPU. Wash and sleep quickly, have a good rest and cheer up. There are a lot of beautiful women waiting for you to hook up in Yuncheng, brother! A long way to go! " I put on a righteous look and dragged Sunan into the guest room.

After all, Sunan really has a long way to go, because I will drag him to help me find a house and move tomorrow. In order to get rid of Li Yian completely, the best way is to make him not find me.

(3)

Two days later, my new home is located in a new community on Sixin Road. New area and new atmosphere, everything has a characteristic, that is, new!

The house is new and the smell of formaldehyde is refreshing.

The anti-theft setting is new, and the landlord asked us to buy our own locks.

Leisure facilities are all new, and the whole garden is a children's slide. Every day, more than a dozen Xionghaizi people compete for territory, and community developers also create an excellent cultivation environment for the strong body of the motherland's flowers.

Even the green plants in the community are new, and it is a pity for me that several small saplings are swaying in the cold wind. This is really a unique scenery.

Sunan said that this place is simply a good place tailored for you. I can't see the old things, and everything starts all over again. The most important thing is that the greening here is still perfect, the garden is quite empty, and there is no dead angle in the 360-degree view of the whole community. You can't hide in any corner and do something shameful, let alone let Li Yi 'an pester you again!

But at this point, even if Sunan found me an overpass hole, I would like to thank him for his help, because Sunan has to arrange everything and pay for it except me.

Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends. That's true. In order to express her gratitude, I decided to ask my cousin Shu Yao to take him to see where the line was blocked after everything was ready.

There are uncertain southern Jiangsu women in this world, except his mother Shu Yao.

Speaking of Cao Yao, when we went back to move things with the moving company, we saw Shu Yao standing downstairs at a distance. The green windbreaker is particularly fresh and convergent in the winter of Xiaosuo, and the coat can't stop the curvy figure. Beauty is beauty. Although I can't see my face clearly, just looking at this posture is enough to stand out from the crowd. But ... there were two other people standing next to her.

Li Yian's parents.

My heart thumped and sank. "Sunan, no matter what you say in the future, don't be impulsive."

"Don't worry, after all, they are old people, and nothing will happen."

The first person who saw me was Shu Yao. She rushed over and said, "Su Miao, where have you been? The phone is turned off and I am worried about it. " As she spoke, she kept gesturing with her eyes that the two gods behind me were the key points.

I threw a "I'm fine" smile at Shu Yao, and then went up to say hello to Li Yi 'an's parents.

"Ah ..."

Bang! Before I could call this aunt out, Li Yi 'an's mother reached out and slapped me, hitting me in the face very crisp.

"It seems that my son didn't wronged you, this is where to move! Aon is still lying in the hospital. Su Miao, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? "

"Aunt, you promised to find out the truth. How can you hit people! " Shu Yao was obviously angry. I stood behind me in handfuls.

"Things are not obvious enough? Your good sister and this savage teamed up to give my son a concussion. Now she has moved her heart and turned off her cell phone so that we can't find it. Should I fight such a shameless woman? "

"That's enough! Go back and ask your precious son what he did. Don't bark here like a mad dog! " Sue's face turned purple, pointing to the two old people and swearing. Those beautiful peach blossoms at ordinary times are staring round at this time, as if to breathe fire.

Mother Li was frightened by the momentum in southern Jiangsu and naturally retreated to her original position. She touched Li Fu beside her with her shoulder and motioned for him to help.

"My son said that when he was on a business trip, you were with this man and he beat you red-handed. You didn't repent and admit your mistake, and even beat him to death. Su Miao, you and Aon have been together for so many years, and you are getting married. He works hard to earn money to support his family. Do you think you are doing the right thing? "

"Are you? You always said I was sorry for him, so I was sorry for him. Let's leave now. You are not welcome here. I have to move quickly! " I'm determined to get rid of Li Yian completely, so I'm too lazy to explain anything to his parents.

"I say you are a born bitch! When your mother doesn't agree with you and Aon, you dare to elope with my son secretly. It's really a bargain. I started fooling around with other men before I got married. Su Miao, don't be too proud. I called all your relatives. People all over the world know your scandal and how shameless you are ... "

Before Li finished her last sentence, she pounced on her and gave her a slap in the face. The old woman lost her foothold, took a step back and fell to the ground. Suddenly the world was quiet.

"Shu Yao! How dare you hit someone! " Li Fu was angry and was about to come forward to help him, but he was stopped by Sunan. In front of southern Jiangsu, which is 1.8 meters, the old man didn't dare to be hard, but just pointed at me angrily. "You are not a human being, and the old man dares to fight!"

"It's you two old hooligans!" Shu Yao stared at him and shouted, "I know that Shu Yao has always had a bad temper. She is really angry. She even cleaned up the children, let alone the old people. She is not the kind of person who gets angry casually, but she is not the kind of person who will get angry.

"Oh ... quick ... somebody. They bullied my old bones in partnership, which was terrible ... killing people! " Mother Li, who fell to the ground, simply slept underground and screamed!

Shu Yao glanced around, grabbed a stool in the corner and threw it at Li Mu. "You are addicted to hooliganism. I don't care how old you are. In my dictionary, "respect the old and love the young" means "fuck it"! I will lose money if I am disabled, and I will die if I am killed! "

Looking at this situation in Sunan, Shu Yao really didn't just scare her, so she quickly stepped forward and stopped her. But Shu Yao really kept her promise, and she got the empty space from Sunan's arm. The stool rubbed the old woman's hair, and her head could open into a flower only a little distance away.

Mother Li was obviously frightened, but she didn't shout or cry, so she didn't dare to move on the ground and waited for a while.

I put on my cotton-padded jacket and scarf. All the hats were taken off, revealing harsh scars, black and purple bruises, and wounds on the head, arms and neck without stitches, which were as shocking and ugly as Indian tattoos!

"Look! Look what your precious son has done. Did you take care of me once when I was taken to the hospital? For more than a year, Li Yi 'an has no job and no income. He fights, drinks and bars all day and lives on my salary. How dare you say that he works hard to support his family? Always say yes to me? Funny! "

"Before ... before what we didn't know, who knew whether what you said was true or not." Mother Li's guilty voice rose a few decibels. "I tell you! My son is still in the hospital. Medical expenses cost thousands of dollars a day. You have to pay for it, and mental damage compensation, the living expenses. Otherwise, I will go to court to sue you and let people all over the world know about your scandal outside! "

"Sue. This is the result of your cowardice. You can't bear to part with Li Yian. Even if you are lying in the hospital, you still don't want to call the police to arrest him. But for you, he really doesn't leave any room, forcing him to death! Now you see, so much self-righteous dedication and tolerance have raised a wolf in human skin! "

"Sunan, what are you doing scold the Wolf? Comparing the wolf with this family, will the wolf blame you for insulting it? " Shu Yao's mouth is the pinnacle of poison.

"Hum! Whatever you say, my son was beaten this time anyway. Within three days, give us 654.38+ ten thousand yuan, or Su Miao, it's up to you! "

"65438+ one million pieces! You let Su Miao grab it! "

"She has no money, this man has! Let him take it! "

"What a rogue family!" Shu Yao picked up the stool on the ground and threw it at the old woman! Mother Li knew that this sentence was going to be beaten, and she had taken her father to the gate.

Su Nan caught Shu Yao, who had to catch up. "Come on, don't chase him. This kind of person is a dog skin plaster. What do you really want to do with them? Then they will find food and clothing parents in their lives! "

Shu Yao turned to me and rolled his eyes. "I don't understand. How did you see such wonderful flowers in the first place?" Su Miao, you really have a good eye! "

I remembered the first time I met Li Yi 'an's parents. I was only 20 years old then. In my heart, they are such kind old people who cook dishes all over the table to entertain me. Even mother Li, like every gentle mother, took my hand and said that we will be a family in the future. Although your parents don't agree, you can rest assured that we will be your parents in the future.

But I didn't know until now that when she took my hand and said that she would be my own mother in the future, what she was thinking was that cheap daughter-in-law didn't have good goods. What a fucking profound understanding!

I stood in place to buffer. Today's wind stung my face a little, and the sky was a little cloudy. There was no moisture in the air. I poured it into my mouth. It was dry and cold, and my throat was itchy and I felt sick. The weather forecast says there will be heavy snow tonight. It's time for some snow, otherwise it won't be my bad luck. By the way, what did Shu Yao just say about me?

"yes! I can only say that I am so lucky! " I paused, wanted to change the subject, turned to Sunan and said, "Are you better today? When I'm finished, I'll invite Shu Yao to treat me! "

Sunan ran to touch my forehead, touched his own, and then said, "No fever! Are you not confused? "

"Which eye do you see me confused? Do they deserve my anger? I'm glad Li Yian fell so early. If he can be strong for another two years, if her mother didn't spend his house when she cut the tumor, he wouldn't be unemployed and his father wouldn't be laid off. I married him and had a baby. Do you think I really want to kill myself? "

"Aunt! People are blackmailing you. Blackmail, okay? 65438+ ten thousand yuan! Selling yourself can't even raise100000! Still thinking about life here? "

Sunan nodded his approval.

"I don't know what to do ..." A bag of tears is almost overwhelming in my eyes, these two grinding goblins! Isn't it generally incompatible? Hurt me in tune.

Shu Yao paced up and down the room in 7 cm high heels. "God never shuts one door but he opens another. I'm sure you can't do anything about good people, but I have many ways to clean up this nest of bastards! "

Sunan quietly threw a timid supercilious look: "That's easy to say ..."

"By the way, Sue miao, yi-an li's house has been sold, so where do their family live now? "

"Living in my grandfather's old house, Li Yi 'an's grandfather, brother-in-law and aunt, their family of three crowded into an 80-square-meter old house. "

"oh? What about their family relationship? "

"Not so good, his little aunt is a powerful role. Li Yian's family, who ran to squeeze other people's homes for no reason, will certainly be rejected by others, not to mention their poor personality. "

"Well ... that's easy!"

"How right? You're not going to copy someone else's nest, are you? "

Shu Yao flew a knife eye: "Sunan, no one treats you as dumb if you don't talk!" " "

"I think we should call the police! After all, the police should uphold justice and such bad people should be punished! "

"no!" Sunan and Shu Yao shouted to me with one voice!

"Sue miao you silly! Why didn't you call the police when you were beaten half to death by that Yi Lee? Now all the evidence that he beat you is gone. We beat him to lie in the hospital, and you ran to the police. What kind of brain do you think you are! "

"I agree with Sunan at this point. If the police intervene now, it is really impossible for him to blackmail you for 6.5438 million yuan, but he still wants you to pay for his medical expenses. After all, you really hurt him. Maybe you two will be criminally detained! "

"So ... how can I deal with an extraordinary person with extreme measure?" Shu Yao sneered twice and threw a amorous feelings at me.

"I have to! Come on, move! The wicked have their own wicked grinding, but also deal with hooligans and rogues, and wait for my good news. " Before our last conversation, Shu Yao had had waist-high wavy hair.

"Sunan, I think cousin Shu Yao will crush my IQ every time she appears!" Looking at the graceful figure far away, I sighed sincerely.

"I think ... you simply have no IQ!"

"Bitch Sue! If you don't poison your tongue, you will die Still talking about me! Someone is not afraid in front of Shu Yao! I really don't understand that evil spirits like you are sometimes afraid of women, and Shu Yao is so beautiful that she has long legs under her waist. It's incredible! "

"Who ... who is afraid of her? As soon as I saw her, I immediately saw her beating wolves and dogs with her bare hands. This painting is so cruel that I can't bear to look at it directly. Every time I think about it, I always feel that my urination system can't help but want to start working. "

"Well ... about your hidden disease ... maybe you were scared by Shu Yao, and it's good to fight poison with poison. There is nothing to say, the girl is showing off again! "

"Su Miaomiao! I'm just not interested in temporary women, not impotence! "

"Oh ... yeah!" My answer is a bit grandiose.
