205. The drama is meaningless
When Tong Yu woke up, he was still on the fluffy extra-long carpet, and Ai Xin on the bed had disappeared.
He didn't check every room to see if Ai Xin had already gotten up early to make breakfast in the kitchen. He had a gut feeling that Ai Xin had left.
Ai Xin's movements have always been light, and she is even more cautious when she is there, and she often washes and dresses up, makes breakfast, and goes out to work at home without her knowledge at all, and it is not difficult to slip away like this now.
Tong Yu spread out his palm, and the black leather rope with jade beads was still asleep in the palm of his hand, everything proved that what happened last night was not a dream.
Ke Tong Yu ...... But it felt very unreal, because Ai Xin had never taken the initiative to confess to himself like this, which made him worried.
"Mom!"
Tong Yu rubbed the back of his somewhat sore neck, called out to Liu Yarong, and walked out of the house slowly.
"Oh, you beggar what you're yelling about in the morning!"
Liu Yarong's voice came from the kitchen, followed by the crisp sound of plates colliding with the marble tabletop.
"Mom?"
Tong Yu ran two steps and entered the kitchen, only to find that the plate was just knocked over, he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at her with some complaint.
"What about Xiao Ai, haven't gotten up yet?" Liu Yarong glanced at Tong Yu, and nodded thoughtfully, "That's right, you drank so much wine yesterday, and you stayed in the house all night......"
"Mom!"
Early in the morning, this is the third time Tong Yu has shouted, and with his long hair like a chicken nest, it is very appropriate.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you, it's so easy to be shy when you're such an adult. ”
Liu Yarong put the pancakes on the plate, and handed the plate to Tong Yu: "Take the cakes out, and then ask Xiao Ai to get up and eat!"
"That ......" Tong Yu took the plate, scratched the hair behind his ear with his left hand, and looked at Liu Yarong with some weakness, "She, probably ...... Went back. ”
"Go back?" Liu Yarong shook her right hand, and the half-turned pancake fell back into the frying pan and rolled into a weird shape. She was silent for two seconds before nodding, "Oh, got it." ”
Tong Yu didn't want to say anything more when he saw her like this, put the plate on the dining table, and hid in the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. Until his hair was combed neatly, Tong Yu took a breath helplessly and slowly walked out of the bathroom.
For the first time, he didn't really want to sit with Liu Yarong for breakfast, obviously Ai Xin flew to the house yesterday, but in the morning he left without even saying hello, Liu Yarong would definitely ask himself what happened last night.
But how many of those words can he tell Liu Yarong?
"Hurry up and eat. Liu Yarong looked at Tong Yu who came out, frowning slightly, "It's grinding in the morning, and it's cold to brush a toothcake." ”
"Oh. ”
Tong Yu saw that she looked like nothing had happened, so he quickly sat on the chair, took chopsticks and ate pancakes with a lot of small pickles. Because it was too salty, I lost my throat for a while, and immediately took a big sip of water, and coughed up the pancakes and pickles that were half-chewed in my mouth to the table.
Liu Yarong saw his absent-minded gaffe, and swallowed back the words that she wanted to ask. Ai Xin left like this, it must have been something they said last night.
No matter what they say, Tong Yu must be in a bad mood today. As a mother herself, there is no need to poke his wounds anymore.
"By the way, what day do you have a break for the Spring Festival?"
Liu Yarong added some warm water to his cup and asked casually.
"Let's rest according to the statutory holidays, I will go back around the seventh day of the new year, there is an advertisement at the beginning of the year, and I will go to work when the staff are working. ”
"Okay. Liu Yarong nodded, as if she remembered something, and raised her eyes to look at Tong Yu, "Take the thermal underwear I bought when you leave this time, Beijing is not as good as ours, and it's cool when spring begins." ”
Tong Yu originally wanted to say that those old and heavy thermal underwear had no chance to wear when he went out in Beijing. But after all, this is Liu Yarong's kindness, he just needs to bring it back as usual and put it in the closet.
"You eat first, I'll go in and rest for a while." ”
After Liu Yarong finished speaking, he stood up and walked into the house slowly with a cane. Within five minutes, Tong Yu heard a text message from her house.
Beijing.
7 a.m.
Tao Li jumped in the Gongti for a night, changed three bars, until he had breakfast with a few fox friends in a Chongqing noodle restaurant, he took a special car, and drove the video home with his little sister all the way.
This kind of anomaly has not appeared for a long time, Tao Li's first reaction was to think that there was a burglar at home, but when he thought about the super anti-theft system and security personnel in this community, he felt that it was still unlikely.
Moreover, the abnormal sound came from the kitchen...... Which thief would go to the kitchen to find the treasure?
"Damn, you're back?"
Tao Li looked at the table full of waffles, fried sausages, scrambled eggs, and beef patties...... Looking into the kitchen again, it was the weak back that he was all too familiar with.
"It's just in time, it's been another all-nighter, right? I'm still boiling porridge. ”
Ai Xin turned around, put on cotton gloves, put the small white porcelain casserole on the heat insulation mat on the table, lifted the lid, and sure enough, it was corn and chicken porridge.
“...... I ate breakfast, Chongqing noodles. ”
Although Tao Li really wanted to take a bite, the vodka and champagne that he had drunk all night, plus a bowl of noodles, and the bumps on the way home, made him feel a little sick to his stomach now.
"Eh, chopsticks noodles, do you eat coriander hairy belly?"
"No, whoever eats such a hard dish in the morning is you. ”
Tao Li pursed his lips, it was Ai Xin's favorite breakfast every time he drank. However, he frowned again as he watched Ai Xin sprinkling black pepper on the steak.
"Hey, I said you...... Don't eat anything so heavy in the morning, be careful that it will hurt you. ”
"It's fine. Ai Xin touched his stomach, "I've gotten used to the pain recently, and I drank more than a pound of liquor last night." ”
"Do you want to die?"
"It seems that the last time myocarditis went to the hospital, he came out and told me that he would never stay up all night and never stay up again, and that he wanted to cultivate his self-cultivation, was sitting in front of me. ”
Ai Xin lowered her head and smiled, clicked on her mobile phone a few times, played the latest Korean electronic dance music, and ate the steak by herself with a knife and fork.
"Sister, it's okay. Tao Li stared at her phone with a pained look, "I've been listening to it all night, and if I shake it again, I'll be gone." ”
"Then you go in. Ai Xin rolled her eyes, "You won't go back to sleep here for the next few days, will you?"
"Nonsense, I don't know where you've been, and I don't know when you'll be back, just wait for the rabbit!"
"Huh!" Ai Xin was obviously stunned for a moment, staring at Tao Li in some surprise for a while, and then asked with a little doubt: "What kind of wine did you drink last night, and you can actually use idioms correctly." ”
“......”
Tao Li covered his forehead and sighed, and went back to his room to sleep.
By the time he woke up, it was already past seven o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already dark. Tao Li rummaged in the refrigerator for a while, but he didn't see any leftovers, so he could only go into the room to find Ai Xin.
Five minutes later, he found Ai Xin in his study.
With the electronic fireplace on the wall, a dancing flame reflected on the wall, and a bright warm light in the corner, Ai Xin sat in front of the easel, wearing a navy blue apron and a palette in her hand, hesitating in front of the frame.
Tao Li hadn't seen Ai Xin painting for a long time, but this pleasant scene always gave him a sense of foreboding. Probably because Ai Xin's mobile phone on the workbench is weirdly playing heavy metal rock music.
"It came at the right time. Ai Xin heard the sound, turned his head to look at Tao Li, and beckoned, "I can't think of any color here, come and help me take a look." ”
"Hmm. ”
Tao Li nodded, Ai Xin knew that his artistic attainments had probably just reached the level of kindergarten children drawing the sun and airplanes with crayons, but he still couldn't say no, so he could only sit beside Ai Xin honestly and stare at the canvas.
"You see, I'm not sure the color of this man's hair and eyes. ”
Ai Xin pointed to the canvas with a paintbrush, and Tao Li noticed that the tip of her nose and the tips of her hair were stained with paint.
Tao Li stared a little, and looked seriously at the unfinished painting in front of him, which was another portrait of a person.
Ai Xin seems to be very obsessed with painting portraits, and when he first met her, he had seen a lot of rather strange portraits at home. However, compared to the current one, the previous one is really nothing.
It's a woman, or maybe it's a girl, because her face hasn't been painted much yet, and she can't tell her age.
The background is a whole layer of royal blue, which Tao Li has always thought is a cheesy color, but Ai Xin likes it, there are a lot of skirts and tops of this color on weekdays, because her skin is pale, but this blue also looks high-end.
The woman has long hair, jagged bangs, pink eyebrows and eye shadow, but a pair of triangular eyes. Under the bridge of the nose, which is not too high, is a pair of lips painted with rose pink, which is also outlined by Ai Xin with white.
Looking further down, the woman's slender neck was wearing a dark iron ring like shackles, which made the whole atmosphere even more depressing.
"Well, the hair is orange......
Ai muttered, and with a stroke of the pen, he painted his hair, and then added a darker orange to the edges, and after adding highlights, the hair color of the person in the painting complemented the makeup.
"Where's the eyeballs?"
Ai Xin turned his face sideways, asking Tao Li's opinion.
"It's green, it's green. ”
Tao Li couldn't bear to look directly at the painting, and replied without hesitation.
"Not bad. Ai Xin nodded, and directly dipped the emerald green on the palette, and without any other color, he directly brushed the position of the eyeballs, "Well, green is indeed suitable." ”
Ai Xin sat on the chair, added some shadows and highlights to the whole painting, made some details on the skin of the woman's face, and added some rust patterns to the shackles around the woman's neck, before she breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back, as if admiring her own painting.
Tao Li looked at the woman with orange hair, pink eyebrows, green eyes, pink lips, and neck cuffs in front of him, and felt more and more weird, but the whole had an indescribable sense of coordination, exuding a sickly beauty.
It is worthy of Ai Xin...... Tao Li thought like this, but another seemingly unrelated question popped up in his heart.
"You've been ...... lately Don't you take much medicine?"
"I stopped taking my medication a long time ago. ”
Ai Xin took the desiccant and sprayed it on the painting, and replied lightly.
"Did you stop yourself? or ...... You didn't go back for a check-up, did you?"
"I've been to the re-examination, but I haven't taken the medicine. Ai Xin put down the desiccant, turned to look at Tao Li, and pointed to the position of his chest, "We have been living in harmony for a long time." ”
"No, I still have to go and see it, I think something is wrong with you lately, really. Tao Li sighed, "You know that taking medicine is useful......
"However, if I take the medicine, I am not me. Ai Xin winked at him, turned his head to look at his painting again, and smiled with satisfaction, "By the way, what's wrong with me lately?"
"Forget it, it's nothing...... You've been looking for Tong Yu these days, right?"
"Well, I went for a day, stayed at home for two days, and thought about something. ”
"So, have you figured it out?"
Tao Li raised his head and looked at Ai Xin's side face, his eyes emitted a strange light, and he quickly went out again.
"Not quite, you can help me think about it. ”
Ai Xin sighed, took off the apron on his body and threw it on the ground, changed to a comfortable position and drank hot tea, stood up and turned off the music playing on his mobile phone before sitting back in the chair.
"Okay. ”
Tao Li grinned, as long as Ai Xin still had the heart to talk to him, it proved that it was not too serious.
"I think he really likes me...... Even if you were so angry before, it can be regarded as half pushing, forgive me for most of it. ”
"Yes. ”
"However, I think he is still a little reserved, as if he doesn't like me that much, how can I put it...... He didn't even try to understand what I liked, what I usually do, my family, my friends...... He always told me that he was like he had no secrets in front of me, but that was what I had been trying to get to know him. ”
"Hmm. ”
"So, I don't know if I should continue to like him, I'm a little scared. ”
"No......" Tao Li frowned, "Haven't you heard of the play? This guy hasn't been in love for so many years doesn't mean that there is no woman around him, probably because your conditions are not bad, it's possible to talk to you and try it, why do you want to go so far?"
"But I don't have the strength to try. Besides, if you have to put on you, what you have in your hand is gone, it will be more sad than never getting it. ”
Ai Xin sighed, raised his head to look at Tao Li, the gentle light that flowed in his eyes on weekdays was all gone, replaced by endless gloom.
"Yes. Tao Li looked directly at her and nodded without hesitation, "I know this feeling better than anyone else, if it is destined to be lost in the end, at first, I won't even ask that person's name." ”
