Chapter 180: The Year of Two People
Qi Jingchen and Qiu Zhuping had some noodles at random at noon, even if he tried to minimize his sense of existence, Qiu Zhuping had already reminded him not to talk nonsense.
When Bai Xiaojiu went to wash, he was sitting in front of the computer and worried, what to say.
What he was most afraid of was not lying, but during the long meal, he forgot his lies, and he would be exposed under repeated inquiries.
Qi Jingchen was not very good at lying in the past, or disdained to lie, and the lack of communication with his mother for a long time caused him to be particularly straightforward.
But after coming into contact with Qiu Zhuping, he also understood that for Bai Xiaojiu and for them to have a future, he had to say some things, even if he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Before, he didn't think he would become a liar full of lies, but now he is almost there, looking at the games on the computer, pretending to be busy.
It's just to hide the fear in my heart.
He must end such days, and he can't continue to deceive like this, so what kind of responsible man is he?
Bai Xiaojiu was still eating happily in the kitchen, listening perfunctorily to Qiu Zhuping's nagging.
"Me. At first, I thought Xiao Chen was really good-looking, this kid looked like he came out of TV. It makes people feel unreal when they look at it, and brings out a long face. Qiu Zhuping was still peeling green onions, and when she spoke, she looked back at Bai Xiaojiu, who was eating with relish.
Seeing her nodding while eating, she felt a little recognized in her heart, and said more energetically, "But you also know that good-looking can't be eaten as a meal." I think that if a child can look so good, the family must not be bad. But now I don't think this kid can do it at home?"
Bai Xiaojiu slept for a day, standing in the kitchen full of the aroma of food and eating happily, the delicious food made her nod her head constantly, and she didn't pay attention to what Qiu Zhuping said.
Qiu Zhuping didn't get an answer, and reflected for three seconds, maybe she was too tactful and didn't hear it, so she simply turned around and patted her on the shoulder, "What about you, what is his family doing? I asked a few times and didn't make it clear, so I said that my mother opened a store." What kind of store? Is it big, and how much does he make in the first month?"
Bai Xiaojiu can understand that Qiu Zhuping's every question is for her good, and she was not a woman who didn't think about other women for love before.
In modern society, impetuous love is a luxury, and the moment you enter society, there is no purity to pursue.
Everyone is going with the flow, whether it is to reduce pressure or gradually numb, Bai Xiaojiu originally planned to find a man with similar conditions and everyone will be easier in the future to live with.
But Qi Jingchen's appearance, his body was pure, as if there was only Bai Xiaojiu alone in the world, and he would lose everything without her.
This feeling of being cared for and valued may not be believed at first, but as time passes, Bai Xiaojiu will also begin to believe it, feeling that he can also be pure for him.
Qiu Zhuping's words made Bai Xiaojiu pretend to smile stupidly, and raised the bone in his hand, "Are there too many sweet and sour pork ribs?"
"Yes? Maybe I shouldn't have microwaved it for you? So it tasted too much vinegar? I just tasted it. Qiu Zhuping picked up a piece and tasted it, before she remembered her topic and poked her head.
"I'll tell you something. You've been together for half a year, you should always know these things, right?"
"I'll give him a taste. Bai Xiaojiu didn't say anything, picked up the small plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, took two steps, and turned back to Qiu Zhuping and smiled, "Mom, I know these things." You don't have to worry. ”
Without waiting for a response, he quickly slipped away from the kitchen, leaving only Qiu Zhuping's back.
Qiu Zhuping pursed her lips and saw that this girl was running so fast, and muttered, "I see that you don't have any numbers in your heart!"
"Try my mom's sweet and sour pork ribs. Bai Xiaojiu put a plate of pork ribs in front of him, and seeing that he didn't come to take it for the first time, he reached out and took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, "My mother is too lazy to cook this kind of complicated dish." It's also a New Year's holiday, or I strongly ask to eat it. You can still ...... in a moment."
Before he finished speaking, when he saw Qi Jingchen being stuffed by her, he leaned his head back again and again, only to realize that the piece he was holding was too big, and the stuff was not warm enough, which almost made him roll his eyes, knowing that he shouldn't laugh, she still retracted her hand and laughed, "I didn't mean to." ”
Qi Jingchen was smooth, glanced at her helplessly, and coughed lightly, "I know, you are reluctant to murder your husband." ”
"Stinky beauty. Who is my husband?" Bai Xiaojiu stuffed the ribs in his hand into his mouth, and when he didn't stretch out his hand, he glared, "Take it yourself and eat it." ”
Qi Jingchen looked aggrieved, reached out to hold the corner of the ribs, and muttered, "The keyboard is dirty." ”
"My hands are dirty, too. You're not eating yet. Bai Xiaojiu knew what he meant, but looking at his appearance, he couldn't help but want to bully.
"It tasted good. Qi Jingchen is full of worries now, and he can't eat good or bad at all, just praise him like this, after all, Qiu Zhuping is her own mother.
"By the way, the two of us are at home tonight, so we don't have to go to dinner with my relatives. Bai Xiaojiu sat beside him, picked up a piece of ribs and slowly gnawed it, and deliberately turned his head to look at him after saying this.
When Qi Jingchen heard this, he felt that he was hallucinating, and he was stunned for a long time before turning his head to look at her, and found that she had been staring at herself, and asked almost with her eyes shining: "Really?"
"Don't go to dinner with my relatives, are you so happy?" Bai Xiaojiu's words were almost self-answering, and as soon as he finished speaking, he thought of the answer.
What kind of person is Qiu Zhuping, a person who doesn't care about other people's faces, she must have reminded Qi Jingchen a long time ago.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaojiu felt a little depressed in her heart, and always felt that Qiu Zhuping disliked him in front of Qi Jingchen and asked him to lie, this kind of thing was very depressing, but she didn't break it.
He quickly tilted his head and smiled, "However, I can understand it very well, because I don't like to eat with relatives either." ”
Speaking of this, she clenched her fists and coughed lightly on her lips, lowered her voice and said, "Oh, Xiao Jiu, it's a new year." Have you found a boyfriend? Are you ready to get married? When are you going to have children? When you are older, you should get married and have children as soon as possible. Otherwise, what will happen in the future?"
Qi Jingchen is not very old, and he is a man, and he hasn't been asked like this yet, but he just saw her like this and laughed.
Bai Xiaojiu raised his head and let out a long breath, turned his head and smiled at him, "So this year, let's have a relaxed year, only two people, right?"
This sentence seems to be telling Qi Jingchen that there is only us in the world this year, and being together on the New Year's Eve day is not like two people who have walked together for a whole year and will walk together for a lifetime in the future?
The more Qi Jingchen thought about it, the more wonderful he felt, he stretched out his hand to grab her and fell to the bed, but before he could completely fall down, Bai Xiaojiu's exclamation was in his ear, "Pork ribs, pork ribs!"
Bai Junguo has always doted on Bai Xiaojiu, he cares about her feelings, he himself doesn't really want to eat with Qiu Zhuping's brothers and sisters, and when he heard Bai Xiaojiu say that he wouldn't go, he didn't even bother to ask the reason, so he went out with Qiu Zhuping.
Before leaving, he gave Bai Xiaojiu and Qi Jingchen a red envelope, and told them to eat on time.
In such a comparison, even if he did something particularly jerky this year, in Bai Xiaojiu's opinion, as a father, he really doted on her.
"Now it's just the two of us left in the house. Bai Xiaojiu closed the door of the house, almost jumping up and cheering, as soon as Qiu Zhuping left, the whole family was full of freedom.
And this freedom is also full of various aromas of food and a festive atmosphere, which makes people get slightly drunk.
Qi Jingchen also felt a lot more relaxed, especially he didn't need to cooperate with Qiu Zhuping to lie, and he didn't have to meet so many relatives, when he saw Bai Xiaojiu like this, he stepped forward and picked her up and lifted her up, "Then what do you want to do?"
"Turn on the TV, watch the gala, eat together. Hmm, there's not much activity in the game tonight, right? Bai Xiaojiu patted his head, and was afraid of being thrown by him, so he quickly became honest and wrapped his neck tightly.
Qi Jingchen saw that she was a little scared, put her down slowly, gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, walked to the coffee table in a few steps, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
"There's also a fireworks display in a moment. There was a fireworks spot near my house, and we could see it from the window. In this way, there will be a New Year's atmosphere. ”
Qi Jingchen was about to go to the kitchen to heat up the dishes, and heard her chatter that had been looking a little excited, especially with the taste of home.
usually follows Wu Jingfen for the New Year, basically watching her drink with a group of relatives, while he holds a red envelope and goes out casually, full of other people's liveliness.
And at this moment, he celebrates the New Year with the girl he cares about the most, eating and watching TV, and feeding each other.
This kind of festival is a way to celebrate the festival, which he has almost never thought of before.
"By the way, look at what you're going to eat, there's a lot of stuff my mom doesn't usually make. You don't know how to heat it, hot food, it's almost time to set off fireworks. Bai Xiaojiu also squeezed into the kitchen and introduced to him the various dishes on the board.
The corners of Qi Jingchen's mouth rose throughout the whole process, listening to her keep talking, enjoying this feeling of home and the atmosphere of the festival with joy.
"Then everything is a little hot, and if there are some that don't need to be hot, I'll pour out a little. Neither of us can eat much. Bai Xiaojiu was talking, and in front of him was Qi Jingchen, who had been smirking, and stretched out his head and flicked his head, "Division of labor and cooperation." ”
"Good!"
The moment the two of them brought out the hot food and put it on the table, there was a banging sound outside, and the sound of fireworks overshadowed the lively TV.
Bai Xiaojiu leaned towards the window, turned his head and beckoned to him with a smile on his face, "Come on, come quickly, it's the best place to see." You see. ”
Qi Jingchen walked up to her and followed her hand to look over there, and the bright fireworks just rose into the air, illuminating their faces.
With a slight sweep of his eyes, Bai Xiaojiu's smiling eyes narrowed slightly, his dimples were fully revealed, and he looked at the sky with one hand on his cheeks, with a look of emotion and appreciation.
Qi Jingchen felt that her smile at the moment was more beautiful than the fireworks in the sky, reached out to wrap his hand around her shoulder, and followed her gaze to look over.
Her voice was full of ears, soft and joyful, "I like this firework, it looks best when it blooms." This one wasn't interesting, and it was gone quickly. I like that this one has a pattern. ”
Qi Jingchen's hand holding her shoulder tightened a little, full of heart, "This little cutie is mine, and it will always be mine." ”
