Cheng Qinghe didn't go back to work all afternoon.

He rolled up his sleeves and cleared the patio. Shen Hao's house has been empty for several years from the time it was built to Xu Tao's inhabitation, and it is good to have Zhao Congzhou to help take care of it indoors, but it is a little old outdoors, especially the terrace, which is a little aging from wind and rain.

Cheng Qinghe pulled out the weeds growing on the terrace, shoveled away the deposited soil, and somewhere found a long piece of wood to pass through the rainwater pipe. The dust that had been blowing over the years was almost clogging the pipes, and the heavy weight dragged the downspout several centimeters off the wall, and then the roof was flooded without cleaning.

There are also flowers on the terrace. I didn't know what Shen Hao thought at the beginning, but a flower bed was separated from a corner and a rose was planted. The flowering season has passed, and the branches are blooming alone. But this one is already full of flowers, inviting a bee to buzz around.

Cheng Qinghe swept out two large bags of weeds and mossy soil, saw that there was no one below, and threw them into the yard, so as not to drag mud and water from the house and stain the stairs.

The plastic bag landed on the ground, and Xu Tao's scolding followed, "Cheng Qinghe, you throw things around!"

Cheng Qinghe smiled proudly.

He has been accustomed to cleaning the roof since he was a child, and he knows how to do it quickly and well. Looking out from the terrace, you can see a little bit of the market, cars, pedestrians, and the shade of street trees. In autumn, although it is still hot under the sun, you can feel the coolness regardless of the wind blowing or the eaves.

The gray-white bird flew by, stopped on the roof, and looked sideways at his busy work. After a while, it flew away without leaving a trace, and a feather fell in the air, which was regarded as the mark of its visit.

After cleaning up the terrace, Cheng Qinghe found the light bulb from the storage room and replaced the one on the stairs that was not lit.

Half of Xu Tao's face poked out from the top of the stairs, staring at him for a while before saying, "Pay attention to safety." ”

He took off his shirt, wore only a vest on his upper body, and straddled the railing. His muscles are slender and inconspicuous, but they are beautiful.

Of course, Cheng Qinghe didn't know that Xu Tao compared his muscles with Zhao Congzhou's in an instant, they were not big or large muscles, but when it came to practicality, it was definitely Zhao Congzhou Sheng, after all, he often practiced a few times. However, Cheng Qinghe's is not ugly, and his skin is white, even if the light in the corridor is not so good, people can notice the natural luster of his skin.

"It's not that there's something urgent to rush, let's go. Cheng Qinghe waved at her, "Don't greet me, I don't ask the evil guest from me, I can't drive away when I enter the door." ”

Xu Tao looked at him, and had a little doubt in his heart that he was stimulated today and cried. But crying? It seems that people like Cheng Qinghe can't cry, and it's more likely that he will lose his temper by smashing things, he just has the ability to twist himself from being a sympathetic and loving object to a disliked person.

Xu Tao stirred in his mind and confirmed that his memory was correct, and he wouldn't cry when he encountered such a big thing, let alone anything else. Don't mention the distance, the time he was injured when he was close, the line between life and death, I didn't see him crying, it stands to reason that he was in pain at that moment.

Cheng Qinghe grabbed two light bulbs in one hand and a light bulb in his mouth, and jumped off the railing neatly.

"Good place, it's a pity I didn't think to buy one sooner. "In the early years, it was not expensive, and it has slowly grown up in the past two years, and it is inseparable from Changyuan's credit - there are dividends, high employee incomes, and need to be consumed, and then it has driven part of the local economy. Cheng Qinghe looked around, "Is there anything else that needs to be sorted out?"

Xu Tao retracted back to her bedroom and temporary office, and waved her hand as well, "You look at it." ”

Cheng Qinghe went to throw away the garbage, brought back two bags of vegetables and fruits, and squatted in the kitchen to honestly select vegetables and cut melons.

"Turns out you can also do housework. Xu Tao came out of nowhere, staring at his method of peeling cantaloupe, and his brushing was not inferior to hers. "You can't bear it all day long?"

Cheng Qinghe stuffed a piece of melon into her mouth, "I didn't send her." ”

Xu Tao rolled her eyes, yes, she did it all by herself. Seeing this, he smiled, and opened his hands gesturely, "Don't hug me?"

"No!" just kidding, just now I saw him sweating, and he couldn't rub himself all the time.

However, he did not let her go. She went to the east and he followed to the east, and she went to the west and he followed to the west, standing in front of her with her open hands, like a big bird with a long leg.

"No—I will never be compelled to do anything against my will. ”

Saying that, she was slowly forced to the wall, and he raised his hands and supported his elbows against the wall, enclosing a small world.

Isn't this a hooligan?

He lowered his head, each other's eyelashes close at hand, and so did his breath.

Xu Tao's face was hot, and she knew that it must be red to the base of her neck. But he wasn't much better than her, and the heat from his cheeks had already spread to her face. He still held up to her ear, "Always deserting, how do you do this job?"

Isn't Xu Tao a thief, sitting in the room, hanging headphones on the computer, flipping his fingers and giving orders to deal with him. She felt that she was about to split, one was handling official business strictly, and the other was drooling at the beautiful body, for fear of being caught by him.

What would happen then?

He lowered his head and gave her a quick peck on the lips to release the cage, "Go ahead, concentrate on your work, don't get distracted." ”

She sneered, and was about to leave, but found that he didn't move, and didn't have the consciousness to give way, "What are you doing?"

He raised his head, and she understood.

Ahem, how can you use force to force women! This kind of behavior needs to be condemned! Severely condemned!

She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the center of the brow - don't pretend, think I can't see your troubles.

Caught off guard, he jerked his head up, just happened to bring his lips to her mouth, and then quickly glued them on, refusing to let go.

It's not good, it's bad!

Reluctantly letting go of each other, Xu Tao's whole face was about to burn. No, she hugged him tightly just now, and pressed her hands on his back, wishing there was not a trace of a gap. This illusory happiness seemed to have been stolen, and it made her feel like she was about to suffocate herself.

She knows that she can't last long, but now she is reluctant to give up a little bit of sweetness.

There was a glint in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse, "Do you really have to work?"

"Really. "Damn out of control, two words she said had a hard time.

He turned his head and took a few deep breaths, "Sometimes I feel as if I have known you for a long time, probably in a dream, and you are crying. ”

"I'm crying?" Xu Tao's eyes widened, and he looked like "you're talking about me".

He looked down and smiled, "I don't think it could be you, so dreams are a very interesting thing." ”

"Am I crying beautifully?"

"I don't know, I didn't pay attention. He smiled and pressed her shoulders to turn her into the room, nudging her behind the back, "Go ahead, don't seduce me here." I warn you not to be alone with other men, because if you are too inattentive, it is easy for others to misunderstand that you mean something to him. Like Zhao Congzhou and Shen Hao, they are even more strictly prohibited!"

Xu Tao rolled his eyes with his back to him.

"Don't talk back in your heart, don't roll your eyes behind my back, I can see and hear. Don't think it's unfair, I won't be alone with other women, and I won't laugh with them and say things that are easy to misunderstand. ”

Xu Tao used a lot of stamina to restrain it, big brother, although the same standard is right, but everyone has their own preferences, I just love to talk and laugh, you don't like it by nature, but you can't ask me for your character. She wants to cry without tears, so what, there is no need to hate the family and the country, the little character is not enough. If he hadn't looked so disgusting, she would have thrown away her hand a long time ago, as if she couldn't figure it out with flour on her wet hands now.

"But for the sake of your cheerful personality and unconsciously attracting others, I so-so agree that you continue to maintain an ordinary friend relationship with Zhao Congzhou, Shen Hao and others. The latter one who was unclear, not knowing that he had gone from being disliked to a level that seemed to be salvageable, declared the boundaries he had set as if he were something.

"Go, don't turn back three times in one step, hurry up and finish eating out, today I will show my hand and let you know that I am stronger than Zhao Congzhou. ”

Waiting for Xu Tao to flash into the room, Cheng Qinghe relaxed. She was too smart, he was really afraid that he would show his clues, be used as a gun by his father, and then cross the river and tear down the bridge. He kept doing things and laughing, but he didn't dare to stop, and once he stopped, he felt a burst of colic in his heart. It turns out that there is no organic disease, and pain is also felt.

The haze is slowly gathering, what is the way forward?

The door was pushed open, and Xu Tao poked his head out, "That, I don't eat onions and garlic, it's okay to season, but not too much." ”

"Yes. He had already discovered that when he encountered the dishes delivered by the restaurant, there were green onions, and she could clean them up little by little, but even if there was an extra step in the process, to tell the truth, it did not affect her speed of eating.

Cheng Qinghe's cooking is stronger than Zhao Congzhou's is probably not bad for his stomach, after all, the high temperature has been heated, and the vegetable leaves are yellow.

Xu Tao held the bowl and made it difficult to swallow, "I still prefer restaurant food." Speaking of this, she remembered the good things stored in the refrigerator, the beef jerky sauce, and the pieces were fresh and flavorful. "I can drink two bottles of wine with this. ”

"Where did it come from?" "No packaging, no trademark, no manufacturer, can you eat the dark dried meat wrapped in simple oiled paper? Cheng Qinghe has reason to suspect that it can put himself down better than Zhao Congzhou's hot pot. But it's okay to be sick, he thought about it, at least for the time being, he doesn't have to face the company up and down. And whether Yang Weihua said this to himself out of his father's instructions or his sympathy? Cheng Qinghe has never been good at guessing people's hearts, and he only likes to go straight.

"You'll know if you taste it. Xu Tao pushed the paper bag closer to him, "At most, I will have diarrhea and promise not to poison you." ”

Is there anyone who speaks like this? It was Cheng Qinghe's turn to be angry, and he took a piece of it and put it in his mouth, and it was actually quite delicious under chewing. Xu Tao snatched his rice bowl and helped him bury several pieces in the rice before returning the rice bowl to him, "Eat, I'll treat you and won't charge you money." ”

The taste of the dried meat is better when it gets hot, "Where did you buy it?"

"I don't sue you. She repeated triumphantly, "I won't tell you." "I forgot, I've been running around for a while, I don't remember where I saw it at the airport, I bought it, I ate half of it on the plane, and put the rest in the refrigerator. I've drunk it once, and I'm not drunk, and people who have something in their hearts can't get drunk.

She wants to open now, life is troubled, just like she woke up this morning and she was worried about money, but at the moment she didn't worry about money at night, but she was sad again. So why bother, maybe wake up tomorrow morning to find that the stock has fallen to the limit, and the borrowed net worth has been reduced by half, and then look back at this meeting, what is that called! What is there to worry about!

She raised her rice bowl heroically, "Come, for our friendship!"

The opponent's opponent is a friend, and at this moment, Cheng Qinghe and her are in the same boat.

Cheng Qinghe glanced at her coldly, and did not accept the toast, "There is no friendship between us, only love." ”

She nodded, "Forget it." ”

What do you mean by "counting"?

That is, "you don't have to love too much, you don't have to be happy when you meet, you don't have to think too much when you don't see you, you still have to do what you should do, and you still have to pay off the debts that you should repay." ”

He didn't understand, frowned and asked, "Do you owe anyone any money?"

"No!" Xu Tao hurriedly shook his head, saying that he was as well-behaved as he was.

Maybe this day is mobile phone day, before the meal is over, Cheng Qinghe's mobile phone rang, Cheng Pinghe looked for him to go back, and the chairman asked them for a meeting about the reception of new partners.

"Uncle plans to bring them in as the new majority shareholder. Cheng Pinghe's voice was tired and surprised, "You don't know either?"

Cheng Qinghe couldn't help but clench his mobile phone, yes, he was just a small chess piece. Even if he looked for a reason for his father a thousand times and ten thousand times, this truth still burned him.
