Chapter 7: Meeting the Gardener
The morning light was faint, and the light outside the window penetrated through a small gap, reflecting a shallow light on the quilt.
The slender white arm kept groping outside the quilt, and when it touched the cold mobile phone, the noisy alarm clock stopped abruptly.
Qiao Tian struggled out of bed with her eyes closed, and stumbled to the door of the bathroom like a zombie.
I saw her open the door and quickly pushed back two or three steps, and the sleepiness in her eyes disappeared, leaving only vigilance.
After waiting for a few minutes, Qiao Tian's left eye opened a slit.
The faucet didn't spray water, which is not scientific.
It wasn't until he returned to consciousness that Qiao Tian suddenly realized that he was no longer in the modern world.
She cheered with joy!
Today's faucet didn't break! There was no sudden power outage in the bathroom! Nothing suddenly fell down! The bad luck is gone!
I'll never be unlucky again!
When everything was cleaned up, Qiao Tian saw the sportswear neatly arranged in the wardrobe.
Raising his hand and glancing at the time, Qiao Tian decided to go downstairs and run two laps, it is better to be more skilled in life-saving skills, and thirty-six plans are the best plan.
I happened to see the housekeeper downstairs.
"Good morning. Qiao Tian smiled and waved his hand to say hello, and walked slowly down the mahogany stairs.
"Miss Qiao is going out?" A hint of surprise flashed in the butler's eyes, he didn't expect her to wake up so early, and she got up at six o'clock.
Qiao Tian touched her nose embarrassedly: "I slept a little early yesterday." ”
The tips of his ears were red as if he was about to get hot, and Qiao Tian raised his eyes shyly: "Is Mr. Shen up?"
The butler smiled, "Sir is out for a morning jog, and you may be able to meet him in the garden at this time." ”
"Thank you. Qiao Tian looked grateful in his eyes, and said to him seriously before leaving: "You are really a good person. ”
The butler looked at her back and stopped.
......
Since Qiao Tian asked Shen Linyuan's location, it was not good not to go.
She silently muttered to herself not to let herself meet him, and pretended to be happy as she took small steps towards the garden.
Seeing that there was no Shen Linyuan nearby, Qiao Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then his eyes were attracted by the fountain in the distance.
Squatting on the ground and waiting for a while, but no one came, Qiao Tian simply stood in place and began to stretch.
It's just that her expression is very unhappy, shaking her head and sighing while stretching, and her face is full of disappointment.
At this time, Shen Linyuan, who she was waiting for, was upstairs watching the surveillance leisurely, looking leisurely.
The housekeeper looked at Qiao Tian's sad expression, and looked at her with some unbearable sideways, "Sir, why do you want me to tell her this?"
Shen Linyuan chuckled and picked up the coffee on the table, "Of course, it's to rule out her suspicion." ”
He wasn't interested in being on the guard against an inconsequential person all the time.
But such a person who can easily influence his emotions, if not on the same side as him......
Shen Linyuan drank the coffee in his hand and opened a sharp smile.
Then I'm sorry, I'll be the first to erase this existence.
The housekeeper looked at Shen Linyuan's expression, with worry in his eyes, and he didn't know if it was for Qiao Tian or Shen Linyuan.
......
Qiao Tian finally accepted the fact that the white peacock would not appear, she shook her head and sighed again.
I knew that I would have taken a few more looks yesterday, and it was the first time she had seen a live white peacock when she was so big.
Its feathers were so beautiful, and its posture was so graceful, that she even thought of its name.
While jogging towards the trail, Qiao Tian sighed, his face full of regret.
Behind the surveillance, a question mark slowly appeared on the housekeeper's face, and Qiao Tian's expression ...... Something seems wrong?
Shen Linyuan was noncommittal.
After running for about twenty minutes, Qiao Tian walked through the maze of the garden and came to a lawn.
A bunch-shaped bush suddenly appeared in front of her, Qiao Tian gasped, and the disappointment of not seeing a peacock in her heart was filled with joy.
The faintly golden leaves shone in the morning light, adding buli to the various shrubs on the lawn
gbuli
g.
This scene was like Alice in Wonderland, Qiao Tian held her breath and stepped forward quietly.
"Hello. A hearty voice came from behind him.
Qiao Tian turned around, and not far away stood a slender man wearing a crane robe.
His skin was very white, white like a porcelain carving, without a trace of blood, his facial features were soft, and his black eyes were simple and bright.
In his left hand, he held a wooden pair of scissors that didn't fit his appearance, and raised his right hand to greet him.
"Hello, I'm Qiao Tian. Qiao Tian greeted with a smile.
"Hello, I'm McClan. McLen's voice was very loud, and his words seemed to have his own resonance, which directly shocked Qiao Tian.
Qiao Tian gave him a "no one can look up" look: "You trimmed these beautiful bushes?"
"That's right. "McLaan was happy to have someone compliment him on his work, and there was a smile in his eyes.
Qiao Tian praised: "Then you must have spent a long time with animals, and the postures of these animals are vivid, as if they were real." ”
McClan smiled shyly, "I love animals, so their looks and movements became my inspiration. ”
Thinking that he had seen the white peacock before, Qiao Tian pointed to the peacock bush inside and said, "You must have seen the two peacocks here, can you tell me where they are?"
McLen's body stiffened: "This ...... It may be a little inconvenient now. “
"And when will they come out?"
McLen's voice was a little weaker: "About noon." ”
"Ah......" Qiao Tian lowered her eyes in disappointment.
McKellen's expression was very serious: "You must not sneak close to the depths of the forest by yourself, otherwise you may encounter danger." ”
"Huh?" Qiao Tian blinked in confusion.
"There are a lot of ferocious beasts out there. ”
Qiao Tian's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "How murderous?"
McLaren was confused by her expression: shouldn't normal people be very scared when they hear the beast?
He only thought he was wrong, and continued to say solemnly: "There are lions, tigers, brown bears, and palm-thick pythons. ”
"Wow!" Qiao Tian looked into the depths of the forest in amazement, his eyes ready to move.
McLaren scratched his head: "......" Did I say something wrong?
Qiao Tian has never been to a zoo since she was a child, not because her family is poor, but because there is no zoo in the small county town at all.
In addition, the grandmother who took care of her was old, and it was inconvenient to go to other places, so Qiao Tian was rarely able to leave here.
Unexpectedly, when she grew up, the debt of 30 million yuan became a mountain blocking her again, and she had no chance to see it.
She earnestly assured: "Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful." ”
McClan: "......"
Bad premonitions have increased.
At this time, the mobile phone in Qiao Tian's arms suddenly rang.
She glanced at the time and waved her hand at McKellen: "It's time, I should go back, see you tomorrow." ”
"Goodbye. McLaan wiped the sweat from his head, relieved.
