A little compassion (1)
The ning family.
it’s time for dinner, ” said mother ning as soon as her father walked in. it’s just nice that you’re back.
Father ning paused. Where Are the Children? ”
“He’s in the room,” “My babies, it’s time to eat!” Mrs. Ning turned around and shouted into the room.
After a while, ning Qing and ning su came out.
Sitting at the dining table, father ning looked at them and hesitated.
They had been married for many years, so mother ning knew that he had something to say.
“Say it, why are you hemming and hawing?”
Father ning still didn’t say anything, but he looked very distressed.
Mother ning understood what she meant and her tone became a little more indifferent. he’s here again? ”
Father ning glanced at ning Qing, silently agreeing.
Mother ning also looked at ning Qing and found that she didn’t have much of a reaction. She said angrily, ” this person is really sick in the head. She’s guarding her every day. I’m so annoyed just by looking at her.
She ladled a bowl of pork rib soup for ning Qing. let’s pretend we don’t see it. Out of sight, out of mind.
Let’s see how long he can hold on.
“......”
Ning Qing’s eyelashes fluttered as she took the bowl of soup and took a sip.
the problem is that he can’t do anything about it. Everyone in the neighborhood knows that there’s a man like him guarding our house. What are we going to do if word gets out? ”
why don’t you go and tell him to move away and not come back again? ” said Mrs. Ning, who agreed with her.
do you think it’ll work? ” Mr. Ning asked.
Ning Qing’s mother’s eyes flickered, and she also looked distressed.
Ning su watched the interaction between the two and glanced sideways at ning Qing.
She was well-behaved, her side profile was fair, and she had no expression at all. She only lowered her head and drank the soup.
“......”
Sensing ning SU’s gaze, ning Qing could no longer pretend not to hear.
“Dad, mom.”
The two of them looked over.
She licked her lips and said, ” let’s eat. The food will get cold soon.
“......”
Since their daughter’s attitude was like this, the two of them could not say anything more.
let’s eat, let’s eat, ” mother ning said. who cares what he does? even if he dies downstairs, it’s none of our business.
“......”
Ning Qingxin’s mouth twitched, and her brows furrowed slightly.
The family finished their lunch in a strange atmosphere.
Mother ning was cleaning up the kitchen, and ning su was helping out. Ning Qing sat alone in the living room for a while.
Mr. Ning came out of the office with his bag. When he passed by the sofa, he patted her head and said affectionately, ” daddy is going to work. Be good and rest for a while. Tomorrow, we’ll go shopping with mom and sister and buy some things for you two to use for school.
Ning Qing was in a daze.
She had almost forgotten that she and ning su would be going to university in a week.
“I know, you can go now. Be careful on the road.”
Father ning nodded with a smile and left.
She sat on the sofa in boredom, thinking about something. She glanced at the kitchen and went back to her room.
The beige curtains were pulled open, and the glaring and warm sunlight shone through the glass and into the room.
“......”
Ning Qing pursed her lips, her heart clenched.
She didn’t want to admit that she just wanted to see if he would come.
She didn’t care.
It had rained so heavily last night, and he had come again today.
It was her mother who had said that it was none of their business if he died.
That’s right.
She just wanted to take a look.
After convincing herself, ning Qing walked to the window, put her hand on the windowsill, and carefully peeked out.
“......”
However, the man who had always been standing did not stand there.
Ning Qing leaned forward a little more and suddenly found that his long body had fallen to the ground. His eyes were closed, like a tree whose back had been bent.
...
Her mind buzzed and her lips trembled. She couldn’t control her legs and she ran out of the door and downstairs.
