Lin Qingyan took a bite, put the bowl back on the table, and said with a sneer: "I'm really sorry, it's really too sweet, don't eat this bowl, I'll send it over next time the bowl is not so sweet,"
Qi Ruochen said: "It's okay, don't be so troublesome." Although he spoke to Lin Qingyan, his eyes kept looking at the spoon that Lin Qingyan had eaten just now, and he didn't expect that Lin Qingyan would eat it directly with the spoon he had just used.
Lin Qingyan realized what he had just done, the spoon was used by Qi Ruochen just now, he took the bowl directly now, and scooped a spoonful with the spoon to eat, Lin Qingyan's face was a little hot, and he said embarrassedly: "That, I'm sorry, I'll let Lu Wan take this bowl." With that, he picked up the bowl and prepared to hand it to Lu Wan.
Although this soup is too sweet, after all, it is the first time for Lin Qingyan to make it, Qi Ruochen didn't say anything, directly pressed Lin Qingyan's hand, took the bowl, and ate it with a spoon.
Seeing this, Lin Qingyan hurriedly said: "Ruochen, if it's too sweet, you don't need to eat it, I think it's too sweet myself,"
"It doesn't matter, it's your heart, but you don't have to put so much sugar next time. Qi Ruochen said lightly,
Lin Qingyan didn't know what to say, and watched Qi Ruochen drink red dates and white fungus soup gently, because she knew that it was too sweet, and after watching Qi Ruochen finish eating, she hurriedly lifted the pot and added water to Qi Ruochen's cup.
Qi Ruochen watched her movements, didn't say anything, picked up the cup and drank the water.
"When I'm good, I'll make you another one, and it won't be so bad. Lin Qingyan sneered, she used to make this soup often, but she mistakenly guaranteed the sweetness of sugar in this ancient time, and her heart was wrong.
"It's okay, Qingyan," Qi Ruochen said: "You can hand over these things to the maids, and they can do it, you don't have to do it yourself." β
"It's okay," Lin Qingyan said: "This is simple and convenient, and it's easy to do, but I'm afraid you don't like to eat." As he spoke, he looked at Qi Ruochen.
Qi Ruochen smiled lightly,
When he came in just now and saw the book on the table, Lin Qingyan asked, "Are you still busy now?" or I'll go back first, you're busy with yours, and I won't bother you." β
"It's not a bother," Qi Ruochen asked, paused, and asked, "How did you read the book you took from the study last time?" β
Lin Qingyan replied slowly: "I read some, I feel okay, if there are more books I like to read in the study, it would be good, I sometimes feel bored when I am alone in the house, read more books, and you can also pass the time." β
After being silent for a while, Qi Ruochen opened his mouth and asked, "Qingyan, what kind of books do you like to read?"
Lin Qingyan thought for a while, and said, "A small talk book, a miscellaneous note," after thinking about it, he added: "I also like gods and ghosts and the like,"
Qi Ruochen was surprised, he didn't expect Lin Qingyan to like to read these types of books, thinking that there were indeed very few such books in the study, and said lightly: "You like it, I'll ask people to find a few books of these types and come back,"
"Okay," Lin Qingyan said happily, the book in her hand looked really good at first, but it became more and more unsightly when she saw the back, the last time she went to the study, she found such a book seriously, some read, it is better than nothing, and now Qi Ruochen asked someone to help her find a book, of course she was willing, and hurriedly said the type she liked to read again.
As far as he knows, Qingyan is not very good in these aspects, she likes to read, and it is also these strange books, Qi Ruoqi couldn't help but smile when she thought about it, raised her eyes and Lin Qingyan asked: "Qingyan, don't you want to see books like qinqi, calligraphy and painting?"
Lin Qingyan was stunned when asked, yes, which lady would be like her, she didn't learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and focused on reading small talking books, but those were too difficult for her, a modern person, and now to learn, she didn't have the confidence to learn well and didn't have much interest, and these learnings didn't have much effect on her, she didn't want to waste time on things she wasn't interested in, and she didn't want to learn these to be a talented girl, she just wanted to be a rice worm and live her little life with peace of mind, and in modern times, you have also studied for more than ten years, and the literary style is still a little, forget about the piano, playing chess will only play checkers and backgammon, and the Lin family is simple, and she doesn't know who to play chess withγ Thinking of backgammon, Lin Qingyan was excited, looked at Qi Ruochen and said: "Ruochen, I will play a kind of backgammon, it's very simple, you will learn it as soon as you learn it, you are at home today, if you are not busy now, let's play chess together." β
Backgammon, he's heard of it for the first time. Looking at Lin Qingyan's look of interest and expectation, Qi Ruochen snorted.
Lin Qingyan briefly told him how to play backgammon. Then he asked, "Do you have Go in your house?"
"There is no one in the house, but there is one in the study, so I asked Duan to come and bring it. Qi Ruochen said, called Jue An in, and told Zhi An to go to the study to get Go. Then he asked, "Qingyan, how did you know this kind of chess, and where did you learn it?" β
Of course it's modern, but I can't tell you this, Lin Qingyan said secretly, smiled, and said with a haha: "You know that I like to read some miscellaneous little talking books, I saw them in those books I took last time,"
Qi Ruochen didn't know much about this type of book, and when he heard Lin Qingyan say this, he couldn't say anything. The two drank tea and talked, and it didn't take long for Duan to come back, holding a box of Go in his hand, Lin Qingyan put the kettle on the table on the side, opened the cloth in Go, and put Go on the table, and after doing this, he raised his eyes and looked at Qi Ruochen, and repeated: "Do you understand the rules you just said?"
Qi Ruochen smiled and didn't speak, just nodded, indicating that he understood.
Lin Qingyan smiled and said: "Then I will take the white seeds, take the first step, whoever connects the five sons first into a line will win." As he spoke, he took a white piece from the chess box and placed it on the chess cloth at random.
Qi Ruochen smiled, took the sunspot and followed, at the beginning of the two or three games, Lin Qingyan won, and she was happy to smile, Qi Ruochen glanced at Lin Qingyan a few times during the period, only to feel that she was very lively and cute, and then he found the key to playing chess, it is easy to turn defeat into victory, Lin Qingyan smiled, pouted, this Qi Ruochen's head is too smart, he really taught his apprentice, there is no master, dinner time is up, Du'an came in and asked Qi Ruochen when he would set up dinner.
Lin Qingyan didn't expect it to be so late. When there is nothing to do, I feel that time flies very quickly, and when there is nothing to do, sometimes I feel that my days are like years, just like working in modern times, I want to rest when I go to work, I really rest, and I think about going to work.
Lin Qingyan got up and said to Qi Ruochen, "You eat dinner first, and I'll go back." β
Qi Ruochen also stood up and smiled: "Let's eat with me here today, after eating, we will continue to play a few plates." β
He also wanted to spend more time with her.
It turns out that playing chess will also be addictive, Lin Qingyan thought about it, he used to play a new game, and he continued to play for a few days, he just taught Qi Ruochen, he will be a little addicted now, and it is understandable, and she is bored when she goes back to read, and it is not bad to have a beautiful man to accompany her to eat and play chess. There was no excuse, but they said hello and helped to collect all the things on the table, and the two sat and talked, and the maids came over with dinner and put it on the table.
There are four dishes and one soup on the table, most of which Lin Qingyan likes to eat, Lin Qingyan doesn't pretend to be a lady, he just puts what he wants to eat in a bowl and eats it, on the other hand, Qi Ruochen eats very Sven,
Qi Ruochen saw Lin Qingyan looking at him and asked, "What's wrong?" He saw that she was eating very fragrantly, it shouldn't be that the food didn't fit.
Lin Qingyan replied embarrassedly: "It's nothing, I just think you look good when you eat." After speaking, he bowed his head and ate,
Qi Ruochen was stunned by what she said, smiled, and continued to eat. When he saw Lin Qingyan take the celery and put it in his mouth and eat it, Qi Ruochen asked, "Qingyan, eat celery now,"
Lin Qingyan was also stunned by what he said, didn't the original owner eat celery before? β
Qi Ruochen said lightly: "I remember that you didn't eat celery before, but now it's better to eat a little." β
After dinner, Lin Qingyan and Qi Ruochen played chess in the house for a long time, and the two got along very naturally. Qi Ruochen was very amused and helpless about Lin Qingyan's behavior.
When Lin Qingyan returned to his house, it was already very late, thinking of Qi Ruochen's concession to her tonight, she felt funny when she thought about it, and she saw Qi Ruochen laugh a lot by her tonight, the way he laughed was really good-looking, mainly because he had seen too much, and he already had immunity, otherwise he would always smile at her like this, and she didn't guarantee that she would not commit again. Let the maids prepare hot water, take a simple bath, and go back to bed and fall asleep.
The next day, it didn't rain, but it was still cloudy, Lin Qingyan got up early, had breakfast, stayed in the house to read, and asked Lu Wan to go over to see the situation on Qi Ruochen's side, Lu Wan came back and came to report that Qi Ruochen went out to run errands after breakfast.
Lin Qingyan thought about it, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't know why he wanted to know more about his situation, it was estimated that the two of them lived in the Lin family, and it was normal for them to care about it, so they didn't think much about it. Staying in the house and reading, the weather was gloomy, she didn't want to go out for a stroll, and she didn't know if it would rain that day. In the evening, Jue An sent a cloth bag over, Lin Qingyan opened it, flipped through it, and couldn't help laughing, she told him what kind of book she wanted to read last night, and today he asked people to send the book over, and sighed in his heart This speed is really fast. Seeing that Du'an was leaving, he hurriedly stopped him and asked, "How is the young master today?" Do you have a cough? β
