Ye Chen hurriedly shook his head: "Just ...... Idle it. If you're okay one day, you can flip through it. ”

When he said this, Ye Chen's tone was a little bitter.

It's not rich, it's like a little tea mixed with water, slightly bitter, slightly astringent, if you don't listen carefully, you can't detect it-

But Tang Xiao listened very seriously.

She thought, whoever gives a gift to someone doesn't want to be rejected and left idle, right?

Since it is a gift, it naturally needs to be treasured.

So, Tang Xiao smiled at him, hugged the book in his arms tightly and said, "No, I'll read it carefully." Thank you, Ye Chen, and I also like Tagore's poems. ”

"Really?" Ye Chen looked up at Tang Xiao in surprise.

"Really, what are you lying to. Tang said with a smile.

Ye Chen's dark eyes were full of sparkling smiles, like a lake full of sunlight, and like leaves on the treetops full of sunlight gently swaying in the breeze.

"Thank you. ”

He said softly.

"Thank you, you kid...... You gave me the gift, so I should thank you. Tang Xiao shook his head and said.

When Ye Chen heard the word "child", he frowned, not very happy.

Tang Xiao noticed this detail, smiled, and thought, only in his early twenties, isn't he just a child?

asked, "Ye Chen, how old are you?"

Ye Chen said very seriously: "Actually, I am a little older than Cheng Meng. ”

"Huh, huh?"

It was probably because Ye Chen was too tender, and Tang Xiao always thought that Ye Chen was even younger than Cheng Meng.

Even thought Ye Chen was only a teenager at first.

I really didn't expect that Ye Chen was actually a little older than Cheng Meng.

"Then how much older are you than Meng Meng?"

Tang Xiao asked.

"Three whole months old. ”

Ye Chen replied very carefully.

"Flutter ......"

Tang Xiao couldn't help but laugh again.

Three months is also called big?

With Ye Chen's expression and tone, she thought he was going to say that he was three years older than Cheng Meng!

"You...... What are you laughing at?"

Ye Chen stared at Tang Xiao blankly.

On the one hand, he thought that Dr. Tang's smile was very good-looking, and it made his heart beat a little abnormally, and on the other hand, he really didn't know why she was laughing at him.

"Nothing. Tang Xiao shook his head and asked, "Then do you have anything else to do now?"

Ye Chen said: "No. ”

"Nothing else, I'll go first?"

Tang said with a smile.

"Hmm...... Good. ”

Ye Chen nodded.

Tang Xiao waved goodbye to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen also waved his hand at Tang Xiao.

After walking out of a distance, Tang Xiao glanced back inexplicably, but found that Ye Chen was still standing in place.

The young man hung his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something, but the expression on his face was as if he was not thinking about anything, just bathing in the evening sunset.

Tang Xiao went to find Cheng Meng, and could have gone with Ye Chen, but he was worried that Ye Chen had something else, so he didn't mention it.

Moreover, she also felt that it was necessary to keep a certain distance from Ye Chen.

Five minutes later, Tang Xiao came to the small white building where Cheng Meng lived.

Cheng Meng talked to Tang Xiao in the afternoon that when they ate together in the evening, they had already prepared all kinds of ingredients.

"You went out in the afternoon? ”

Tang Xiao looked at the ingredients on the table and was a little stunned.

"Sister-in-law, are you outdated? Now you can order fruits and vegetables online and deliver them within an hour. Cheng Meng said triumphantly.

"So advanced?"

Tang Xiao was surprised.

"yes, it's that advanced. ”

Cheng Meng smiled and said, "Otherwise, it will be too troublesome." Thanks to these conscientious courier brothers, they helped me solve a big problem. ”

"That's great, it's much easier to cook later. Tang said with a smile.

"Yes. ”

The two chatted first and began to choose dishes.

Cheng Meng called Yan Lili and Yan Ling, and Tang Xiao also knew.

However, Tang Xiao didn't know that Cheng Meng also called another person.

"Ye Chen, why didn't you say it just now? ”

Tang Xiao looked at Cheng Meng in surprise.

"I think...... There's no need to tell your sister-in-law, right? ”

Cheng Meng seems to be a little embarrassed.

Tang Xiao "chuckled" in his heart, worried that Cheng Meng really had other thoughts about Ye Chen.

So what about Pete's side?

"I just saw Ye Chen. I knew it, so I called him over. ”

Tang Xiao said regretfully: "He can't hear, walking alone will be more or less inconvenient." ”

As soon as Tang Xiao said this, Cheng Meng's eyes widened.

"Alas, I haven't even thought about this question?" her delicate eyebrows furrowed, "Ye Chen doesn't seem to be wearing hearing aids." ”

"Well, it's said he doesn't like to wear those things. Tang said with a smile.

"But...... It's dangerous to think about. ”

Cheng Meng said worriedly: "I didn't think so, sister-in-law, as soon as you said it, I was suddenly afraid." You say, if someone rides behind him and hits him and he can't hear him, will he be hit?"

Tang Xiao stopped what he was doing, thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible...... However, there are very few cyclists in the nursing home. Basically equal to nothing. ”

"Basically, if you don't have it, doesn't mean you really don't?"

Cheng Meng put down the celery in her hand and stood up: "Sister-in-law, I'll go out and find him." ”

Without waiting for Tang Xiao to respond, Cheng Meng ran out of the smoke.

Seeing the corners of Cheng Meng's clothes disappear at the door, Tang Xiao couldn't help but shake his head gently.

Tang Xiao was left alone in the kitchen of Cheng Meng's residence, dismantling and washing all the vegetables, and was about to put them on the counter, when there was a heavy footsteps outside the door.

Listen to the voice, like the sound of a tall man walking in military boots.

Tang Xiao subconsciously thought of Cheng Lie.

At that moment, it was as if her heart had stopped.

But it only took a short moment for her to wake up to the fact that it couldn't be Cheng Lie.

Even if it resembled, she could still distinguish the sound of Cheng Li's footsteps.

So, who is it?

Tang Xiao stood up and walked out of the kitchen.

Then, she saw the man walking in through the open living room door.

Because he knew that Yan Ling, Yan Lili and Cheng Meng would come at any time, the door of the living room was hidden.

The person Tang Xiao didn't think about coming over was not any of them.

Rather—

Peter.

Pete wears a thin stiff black trench coat with a white T-shirt underneath, black jeans and combat boots.

It was already winter, and he didn't seem to be afraid of the cold.

I don't know if it's Tang Xiao's illusion, she always feels that Pete looks a little different from before.

In the past, Pete gave people the impression of a large foreigner with a gentle temperament, but now Pete has an indescribable cold temperament.

Tang Xiao looked at Pete, imagining in his heart what Pete would look like wearing a pair of sunglasses-

The conclusion is that if Pete wears another pair of sunglasses at this moment, he must be very much like the killer who kills people without blinking an eye in the movie.

"Pete, why are you here?"

Quickly stopping the unreliable imagination in his head, Tang Xiao asked with a smile.

I wondered in my heart, Cheng Meng didn't say that he invited Pete?

Then again-

Cheng Meng suddenly felt that everyone was eating together in the afternoon, and he didn't call his boyfriend, which was already quite strange in itself.

However, Tang Xiao also faintly feels that Cheng Meng and Pete have not had a good relationship recently, and they may have to break up if they don't make trouble.

"Sister-in-law, I'll take a look at Mengmeng. ”

Pete smiled, and the cold temperament on his body disappeared without a trace in an instant.

His blue eyes were still charming, and the smile on his face was still handsome.

If Ye Chen's ink painting is light, then Pitt is a carefully depicted oil painting.

"Didn't you contact Meng Meng before you came?"

Tang Xiao asked in surprise.

"Nope. ”

Pete shook his head and said, "I want to surprise her." ”

As he spoke, he put the things he was carrying on the table in the living room: "Look, I brought her favorite mango." ”

Tang smiled and saw that all the mangoes brought by Pete were round and full, and as soon as they were placed on the table, the whole living room was filled with the aroma of mangoes.

It seems that these mangoes are indeed fresh fruits carefully selected by Pete.

It's just that......

Tang Xiao couldn't bear to tell Pete that Cheng Meng ordered a box of mangoes online, which had just been delivered in the afternoon, and now the box of mangoes was being placed in the corner of the kitchen.

"You really have a heart. ”

Tang Xiao squeezed out a smile.

Pete smiled and didn't speak.

He looked around, took a look at Cheng Meng's current living environment, and praised sincerely: "This place is really good, it's basically a vacation home." ”

"Yes, it's a recuperation, it can also be regarded as a vacation. ”

Tang Xiao said approvingly.

"Sister-in-law, why didn't you see Mengmeng, where did she go?"

Pete asked like this, but Tang Xiao felt that Pete didn't seem to care much about her answer.

Tang Xiao pondered whether he should hide Ye Chen's existence from Pete.

After thinking about it, I felt that it didn't seem to be much necessary.

Maybe Cheng Meng really just treats Ye Chen as a playmate of the same age?

Why should I think things too complicated?

"Moe Moe...... She went out to pick up a friend. Tang Xiao poured a glass of water for Pete, "Come, let's sit down for a while." ”

Pete obediently sat down on the sofa in the living room, picked up the water that Tang Xiao poured for him, and said, "Thank you." ”

Tang Xiao saw a lot of dust on Pete's military boots, and couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go?" ”

"I went back to my hometown, and I just came back. ”

Pete actually uses the word "hometown" too.

Tang Xiao couldn't help but smile: "Does Mengmeng know that you are back to your hometown?"

Pete said, "You should know. She didn't know I was back, though. ”

"No wonder you're going to surprise her. Cheng Meng smiled and said, "Why don't I call her, if she knows that you are coming, she will definitely trot all the way back." ”

"Will it?"

Pete had a hint of doubt in his eyes.

While the two were talking, Cheng Meng's happy and lively voice came from the corridor outside the door, like a yellow bird chirping gracefully.

"Oh, you're so polite, you're just here for a meal, and you have to bring such good wine...... Don't you think it's a waste?Forget it, since that's the case, then I'm not going to be polite to you, haha. ”

"Nothing, that's as it should be. ”

Ye Chen's faint voice came.

Compared with Cheng Meng's excited mood, Ye Chen's voice couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations.

Tang Xiao couldn't help but glance at Pete sitting on the sofa, and found that Pete's handsome face had no expression on it.
