Chapter Eighty-Four: I Prefer Green
Luo Jie put down the phone in her hand and curled up in the corner of the bed, against the wall, not knowing what she was thinking.
She was wearing Pikachu's pajamas, a hat, and a carrot in her hand, and looked ......
More like that big electric rat.
I chatted with Cao Xiuyan about my achievements just now, and talked about Tsvetaeva for a while, as well as Tsvetaeva's song "I want to live with you".
This is Luo Jie's favorite poem, and Cao Xiuyan recited it to her on the phone just now.
"I want to live with you
In a small town,
Share the endless twilight
and the endless ringing of bells. ”
She likes the mood created by Tsvetaeva and wants to enjoy the dusk and the sound of the bells with the people she likes.
Cao Xiuyan said that he prefers to walk hand in hand in the sun than the bell ringing in his ears.
Luo Jie admires Cao Xiuyan and can collide with her in her heart, which is an indescribable feeling. It's like she's finally found someone in this world who loves the same beautiful shells as she does.
Luo Jie likes Cao Xiuyan, likes his calmness and sense of responsibility, and the feeling of helping her calm and relaxed.
Luo Jie didn't dare to indulge too much, because she was also worried, worried about whether Cao Xiuyan was a good boyfriend.
Sometimes I want to hug it, sometimes I want to take a step back and let go of my hand.
She can actually feel that she shouldn't be the only person Cao Xiuyan likes.
Another...... It should be Chi Qian, right?
She didn't look for Cao Xiuyan to confirm it, nor did she go to Chi Qian to find out the truth, she was just hesitating.
If Cao Xiuyan and Chi Qian were already together, then they might have been juniors, and if the two of them weren't together......
Do you go for it, or do you choose to quit?
How long has he and Cao Xiuyan been in this ambiguous relationship?
Is he being amorous? But he obviously responded.
So what should Chi Qian say?
Cao Xiuyan, you are really a player, or ......
Scumbag.
Luo Jie took small bites of the carrot.
She had been with Cao Xiuyan before, and because of the final exam, she had been avoiding this question.
Now, she's alone, calmed down, and has time to think about these things.
When she called Cao Xiuyan, there was always a voice in her head, asking him, scolding him, and spitting on him.
But listening to Cao Xiuyan's concern on the other end of the phone, Luo Jie couldn't say anything, just held back a sentence,
I miss you.
Cao Xiuyan, I want to go. But I was tripped up by you again.
Luo Jie took a book in her hand and spread it on her lap, which was a collection of Szymboska's poems.
Luo Jie casually turned a page and read in her heart:
"I'm partial to movies.
I have a preference for cats.
I have a preference for oak trees along the Walta River.
I prefer Dickens to Dostoevsky.
I prefer my fondness for crowds
More than my love for humanity.
I prefer to keep my needle and thread at hand in case I need them.
I have a preference for green ......"
Reading this, Luo Jie suddenly stopped.
Staring at that sentence in a daze.
It took a long time before I came back to my senses.
She raised the carrot in her hand and bit off half of it with a "click".
If Cao Xiuyan saw this action, his back would definitely be cold, and his balls would be slightly painful.
Cao Xiuyan, I hate you a little.
Luo Jie pursed her mouth.
......
Cao Xiuyan's life at home has been very comfortable recently.
Accompany my parents to fight a landlord to watch TV, tease Chi Qian with nothing to do, discuss poetry with Luo Jie, and live a happy life.
Since the last time she called Luo Jie, Luo Jie seems to have changed a little, and it takes a long time to reply, and there will be a short silence on the phone.
He didn't know what was wrong, but he knew something must be wrong.
It's kind of a kind of intuition on his part.
Bad, the shoes are more wet, and the water's edge is more sensitive.
He remembered that when he graduated from the previous life, Xu Shen once said a very good sentence when he drank too much:
Do you think the life of a scumbag is very happy? No, you can't imagine the happiness of a scumbag.
After he finished speaking, Huang Xiaotao and Li Li pressed him aside and gave him a Wang hug.
Cao Xiuyan has experienced the happiness of not taking the initiative, not refusing to be irresponsible, and now he silently crosses out the irresponsibility.
Perhaps detached from the state of "only entering the body, not entering the life", he does not like to owe others.
Therefore, whether it is Luo Jie, Chi Qian, or Cao Xiuyan, they are all trying to help them get better.
What's the use? Just ask for peace of mind.
It's like a placebo in medicine.
He couldn't tell what Luo Jie knew now, so he pretended not to notice Luo Jie's strange appearance.
You can't drag Luo Jie and ask, did you find out that I was a scumbag?
Luo Jie was afraid that she would not show off a mouthful of little white teeth, so she pounced on him and bit him.
Pay attention to it these days and explore Luo Jie's tone.
The biggest possibility is that Luo Jie knows about her ambiguous relationship with Chi Qian.
But don't panic, the small scene is nothing compared to being blocked by several girlfriends at the same time at Christmas.
On the fourth day after Cao Xiuyan returned home, his cousin finally came to his house.
At the end of the year, the hotel business was good, and Cao Xiuyan's parents have been very busy recently, at least for a while, and they will have to tell things to go on before they have a certain amount of time to rest at home.
That morning, Cao Xiuyan waited at home for his cousin to visit.
In order to welcome these two little ancestors, his father specially ordered a batch of good ingredients to entertain these two.
These two children come to Cao Xiuyan's house to live for a period of time every winter and summer vacation, and they are not bears, they are very obedient, and Cao Xiuyan's parents like the two of them very much.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the doorbell of Cao Xiuyan's house rang.
Cao Xiuyan walked to the door and opened the door, and as soon as he opened it, two figures pounced:
"Brother!"
Cao Xiuyan almost fell over.
Pushing the two children away, Cao Xiuyan looked at the two children carefully.
Cousin Cao Yang, a sophomore in high school this year, is already slim at the age of sixteen, with a pair of big eyes blinking, and there is always a smile in the corner of his eyes. The skin is fair and smooth, full of collagen. This girl is already 1.6 meters tall, I don't know if she will grow into long legs like Lu Zixi in the future.
Cousin Cao Jun looked thin and a little shriveled, but his facial features were very upright. It's just that this kid looks honest, but his eyes are always a little cunning.
"Brother, you're so white. Cousin Cao Yang blinked his big eyes and stared at Cao Xiuyan.
"The water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River nourish people. Come in first, change your shoes...... What about your father, didn't he send you two over?" Cao Xiuyan greeted the two children.
"My dad had something to do, so he threw the two of us at the gate of the community and left. Cao Yang replied.
At this time, my cousin Cao Jun said: "Brother, brother, I'm hungry and I didn't eat in the morning." ”
Cao Yang tapped his brother's forehead and scolded: "Who told you to get up early and not get up? ”
Cao Jun grimaced at his sister.
"It's still early, it's only ten o'clock. Xiaojun, you eat some snacks first, let's take a bite, and my brother will make something to eat for you at noon. Cao Xiuyan looked at his watch and said.
Cao Yang was a little stunned, and said with some uncertainty: "Brother, do you want to cook?"
Cao Xiuyan said in a natural tone: "Ah, what's wrong?"
Cao Yang was speechless.
I can't say, brother, your cooking is unpalatable, can I choose to refuse?
She had seen her brother's level of dark cooking, and Xiaojun was in cram school at that time, so she didn't know her cousin's level.
glanced at his younger brother helplessly, as if to say, what are you doing with this stubble?
"By the way, there seems to be abalone at home, so let's get a few for the two of you. Cao Xiuyan happily walked to the kitchen.
Cao Jun followed, and Cao Yang sat in the living room worrying about whether to eat later.
"Jun'er, do you know what to do with this live abalone...... Of course, we're going to give it a demonstration! Look, you have to massage it first, and slowly touch it back and forth from the middle one, so that it is comfortable to touch first...... Hey, that's it, then use a toothbrush, and then brush slowly, brush off the dirt on it, and in the process it will slowly release some of the liquid in the body, so that the taste of the abalone will be better...... Hey, yes, that's it......"
Cao Xiuyan was handling the abalone, and his cousin Cao Jun, who was standing beside him, had wide eyes.
Brother, how do I feel like I have tire marks on my face, what happened?
This little episode did not disrupt the rhythm of Cao Xiuyan's cooking, he processed the ingredients at a very fast speed, and then quickly prepared them, which made Cao Jun stunned for a moment.
Bring the prepared meal to the table and call my sister Cao Yang to come over for dinner.
"Yangyang, come over for dinner!"
Cao Xiuyan dragged his cousin Cao Yang from the living room and pressed him to the dining table.
Cao Yang picked up the chopsticks and trembled and picked up a piece of eggplant with meat foam.
emmm...... It seems to be delicious.
Cao Yang is really fragrant in an instant.
She grabbed another chopstick and asked Cao Xiuyan, "Brother, how did you practice this hand?"
Cao Xiuyan held the rice bowl and was slightly stunned.
After a while, he put down the bowl and sighed:
"This has to start with a bat......
