14. Getting along is intimate
The days passed quickly, and Cheng Luoling had been living in Qingyayuan for five or six days.
In the past five or six days, she stepped on the sunrise to work and went home wearing the stars. Although the small day is a bit grinding, there are Shen windmills to pick up and send them every day. Compared to the past, it was simply effortless.
Bai Yibei's unexplained disappearance allowed her to occupy the entire villa alone. She doesn't have to worry about others, and others don't have to worry about her, this kind of solitary life is very popular with her.
Living alone, it is inevitable that the diet will be simple. In the past few nights, she has rice porridge almost every day.
She didn't want to be too simple tonight, because today was the 10th of July – her birthday.
She stir-fried two dishes, a sweet and sour tenderloin, a pulled skin stir-fried meat, and finally cooked a bowl of longevity noodles. With the noodles and dishes on the table, she happily lit a candle and turned off all the lights.
It was pitch black, and in this house where you couldn't see your fingers, the faint candlelight seemed so dazzling and lonely.
Every year today, no matter how busy, tired, or poor her life is, her mother Wang Li will prepare a birthday cake for her, and then buy her a new set of clothes, and Cheng Lixun will not forget to give her a birthday gift.
Cakes are always small, clothes aren't expensive, and birthday presents aren't always flashy. But what excites her is that her family can sing birthday songs with her, make wishes together, and blow out candles together...... That feels...... That feeling is called happiness and happiness.
And at this moment, it is not only the candlelight that is lonely, but also her Cheng Luoling.
The excitement and appetite of cooking has long since disappeared. She curled up in her chair, her hands on her ankles, her chin resting on her knees, her eyes staring at the candlelight in a daze, for a long, ......long time.
Bai Yibei, who opened the door and entered, happened to see this scene. The sound of him unlocking the lock was not small, but she didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't even notice him when he came in.
It was a lonely scene, but he was used to it. So far, every night he has spent alone in this solitude.
He didn't turn on the lights immediately and stood in the dark looking at her. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes drooped blankly, and a thick melancholy covered her entire little face.
This is in stark contrast to the face full of sunshine and freedom that I saw for the first time.
It was indeed unexpected to see her again, and what was even more unexpected was that she also stayed in Qingyayuan as Mrs. Bai and stayed by his side.
The brows are used to frowning, and the frowns are always stretched. I'm tired today and don't want to think about all that anymore.
He raised his hand and pressed the switch, and with a "snap", the room suddenly lit up.
The sudden light pierced her eyes for a while, and she closed them for a while before daring to open them.
When she finally saw the person walking by, she stumbled up from her chair and blurted out, "You're back?"
She often said this sentence, and her mother or Cheng Lixun would ask every time she came home from outside.
But his heart shook.
In the past, every time he came back from school, his mother would stand at the door and say this softly. When my mother said this, she would change your word to "Xiaobei", and my mother's voice was softer and her smile was more vibrant.
Unlike the one in front of him, his voice was hurried and his face was stunned.
I thought that this kind of affectionate greeting was buried in the cold grave with my mother, but I didn't expect to hear it.
Perhaps thinking of his mother's former kindness, the corners of his eyes lifted slightly, revealing a seemingly inconspicuous smile.
Prompted by this smile, he snorted, "Hmm." "After humming, I went upstairs.
"Have you eaten?" she followed. The tone of this sentence is significantly better than the previous one.
He didn't eat dinner, but even now that there was a table full of Han people in front of him, he didn't want to move, he just wanted to lie down in bed and sleep well.
But she who was following behind her didn't know what to do, and seeing that he didn't answer, she straightened her neck and kept asking:
"Oh, I say, have you eaten or not?
She was shut out. She stared at the dark red wooden door, blindfolded.
Bai Yibei in the door, seeing that the world was finally quiet, couldn't help but smile slantedly, turned around and took off his tie and coat to prepare for a bath.
But he doesn't know her at all, she's a person who loves to drill horns, and the more you don't talk about it, the more she will be pestered.
"Well, I said. She banged on the door. "Have you eaten or not? and you're not dumb, why don't you speak?"
“……”
"Don't think it's great to lock the door, I'm telling you, I have the key. If you don't speak, I'll go get the keys. ”
Bai Yibei, who was about to enter the bathroom, paused. The spare key is hidden, how could she ...... It's no surprise that she's lived here for so many days, and she's already touched the horns.
In fact, he really wronged her, and the location of the spare key was told by Shen Feng, afraid that she would lose the key in case of carelessness.
"Hey, hey, hey. She continued to shout outside the door.
He opened the door and asked gloomily, "What are you going to do?"
To be honest, his coldness not only made her uncomfortable, but also made her extremely timid. She had never met someone as cold and unapproachable as him.
Maybe she hadn't been in contact with him before, so she was full of curiosity and affection for him.
"Have you eaten?" she said.
"Eat. "I want to close the door again.
This time she learned well, and when she saw him coming again, she alertly pressed her foot against the door.
"I said I had eaten. His face sank.
"Lie! Look at you like that. She said sonorously and solemnly: "Let me tell you, people are iron rice and steel, and they are hungry and panicked if they don't eat a meal." The body is the capital of the revolution, but the rice is the capital of the body. If you don't make good use of your body's capital, then what capital do you have to fight for your career......?
He had a big head, and for the first time he was reprimanded in a rambling manner.
"I haven't eaten yet. ”
"Didn't you say you had eaten it? Now why do you say you haven't eaten it? Uncle, it's not good to lie, don't make it a habit. She jumped and walked downstairs. "There's noodles in the fridge, I'll boil water, you come down." ”
When she entered the kitchen, she turned on the fire and boiled the water. During this period, the dishes and noodles that had been prepared but never touched were put into the microwave oven to heat.
The food was brought back to the table, and he was amazed by the good-looking dishes and noodles on the table. When I stayed at her house that night, I could tell that she could cook, but I didn't expect it to be really good.
Seeing that he didn't move, she pouted and said, "I didn't waste it on you, I only ate porridge before, but today is a little special, so I fried two dishes." ”
"What's so special?" he asked sharply.
"Today...... It's nothing. She pulled the bowl of leftover noodles, sat down, and stuffed it into her mouth.
After thinking about it, he somewhat understood. Today, July 10th, is her birthday and his. She was lonely, and so was he.
Looking at the Xiang'er she ate, the hunger that didn't exist was rolling in at this time. He took his share and began to eat.
Since his mother's death, he has never eaten longevity noodles on his birthday. This year is different, this longevity noodle - the taste is not bad.
Although she lived in with the mentality of being married and in peace, when she really faced him, the doubts in her heart always swirled.
"You...... Why are you marrying me?" was the most incomprehensible and confused thing she could ever have. "I'm just a small person in the vast sea of people, with no solid background and no illustrious family. Before, I still had my mother and my younger brother. Now even they shut me out and don't want me anymore. Oh, even if they want me, they're just little people. As for my biological parents, it is said that my real father died when I was one year old, and my real mother also left me when I was three years old. I'm a veritable orphan now, and I can't bring you money or power. Why do you want to marry me?"
This is also what he does not understand. Her father said that she was the daughter of an old man, and it was obvious that this "old man" was not her adoptive mother Wang Li. Judging from the scene of the past two days, this Wang Li does have a deep enmity with her father, not only that, but this Wang Li's adoption of Cheng Luoling seems to be impure.
However, did his father have a grudge with Wang Li and Cheng Luoling to do with him? He did not know Cheng Luoling, and he had never heard of that Wang Li, so why did his father pull him in? In order to make him jump into the pit, he did not hesitate to use 30 percent of "Ling Yun's" shares.
Who is this "old man" of my father? This Cheng Luoling's biological parents? In any case, it is necessary to check the details of this Cheng Luoling's biological parents.
He couldn't answer her question, only silence. After eating, she took the initiative to move from the master bedroom to the guest room. This is called, being under the eaves, having to bow your head.
It's half past eleven. Tired, she lay in bed and ushered in her first insomnia day. The whole body is like a flatbread, tossing and turning, turning and turning, and you just can't sleep.
Is it because there's one more of him in the room?
As a result of insomnia, she overslept the next day.
"Drop!" the car horn sounded again. This is already the third time.
This is the code between her and Shen Fengding. Before, once the horn sounded, she went out neatly. It's been ringing three times today, and she's still brushing her teeth.
Alas, it's all insomnia.
When she finished washing, she rushed down like a whirlwind. I opened the door and got into the passenger seat.
"Didn't sleep well last night?" Shen Feng looked at her newly baked pair of panda eyes.
"Well, what the hell. I had insomnia last night for no reason. She lowered her head and buckled her seatbelt. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Uncle Bai, how could she not have fallen asleep.
Shen Feng didn't say anything more, and was about to set off. Suddenly, he felt a strong air current pressing against him. He couldn't help but look sideways and saw Bai Yibei walking towards him.
Shen Feng was stunned for a moment, Brother Bei, when did he come back? He didn't know. Without thinking too much, I quickly got out of the car.
"Brother Bei!" Shen Feng shouted respectfully.
"Send her to work?" Bai Yibei asked.
"Yes. Shen Feng responded.
Bai Yibei waved his hand, and the car sped away.
