PART14

The hands were big, and the cold touch gently picked up the naughty strands of hair in front of Lu Manman's eyes.

Lu Manman naturally knew who the person behind him was.

"Lu Manman." The usual low, melodious voice came from behind him.

Lu Manman clenched the handle of the knife on his right hand, and then let go of his hand, the kitchen knife and the uncut eggplant drooped on the cutting board, Lu Manman lowered his eyebrows, bit his lower lip, turned around and looked, and was a little distracted for a moment.

Sure enough, behind him stood Qi Xiuyuan's tall and handsome figure.

He is very tall, relative to Lu Manman's height.

Wearing a white shirt that was ironed flat, a gray blazer casually on his arm, an angular face, and staring straight at Lu Manman.

Lu Manman was stunned, and the skin on his forehead was still cold after he inadvertently touched it.

Because of the reason for cooking, her long hair was tied back at will, her body was wrapped in an apron, there was no trace of decoration on her small face, her appearance without makeup and light makeup did not change much, fresh and exquisite, wearing loose clothes looked more petite and elegant, her skin was very white, well maintained, delicate and tender.

A little squeamish.

If you don't look closely, you think she is a captive eldest lady.

…… However, Qi Xiuyuan didn't know that Lu Manman in front of him was indeed an eldest lady: she was just being free-ranged.

"You...... Isn't it outside? Lu Manman pursed his lips that were a little dry, looked up and asked the other party, his voice was a little small, the distance between the two was advanced, and Lu Manman knew that Qi Xiuyuan could hear it.

Qi Xiuyuan withdrew the hand that stretched out from her forehead and put it with the other hand to protect the posture of the blazer. "Well, came back early." He looked over Lu Manman's head and glanced at the things that were ready to cook on the counter.

Lu Manman saw Yun Shuang'er lying on the kitchen door from behind Qi Xiuyuan's side...... said that Qi Xiuyuan would accompany the child in the welfare home for New Year's Day, and would not go home so early, and no one cared about her eating and drinking Lasa's Yun Shuang'er.

…… Okay, she won't believe Yun Shuang'er's words anymore.

Quietly look down at the outfit at the moment.

QAQ！

She's in such a bad image now...... Can the swelling be seen by those who admire......

Crying, embarrassed, hitting the wall.

Yun Shuang'er's eyes were wide open, staring at Lu Manman.

"Do you have my share of the meal?" Lu Manman and Yun Shuang'er stared wide-eyed, and Qi Xiuyuan's faint voice came from above Lu Manman's head.

Lu Manman immediately raised his head: "Huh?"

Qi Xiuyuan's gaze fell.

Lu Manman: "Hmm...... this ......

Turn your head and look somewhere.

…… Well, the rice cooker, still with the lid open.

Lu Manman turned his head again, Yun Shuang'er had obediently lowered his head and slipped into the kitchen, and now behind Qi Xiuyuan, he raised his hand and poked Qi Xiuyuan's back, "I haven't bought rice yet, brother, you haven't had lunch yet, right, I'll have more rice~"

Lu Manman: "......"

The eggplant that has been forgotten on the cutting board has oxidized the meat by the air.

——

Qi Xiuyuan's sudden return, a pair of chopsticks was immediately added to the dinner table.

This is the second time that Lu Manman has eaten on the exquisite table in front of him, and it can be seen that the restaurant is rarely used for these two brothers and sisters.

There is not a single oil stain on the glass plate.

Lu Manman's craftsmanship is not good or bad, the Manchu Han banquet naturally can't be made, she still cooks the usual home-cooked food today, the heating in the house is sufficient, and the dining table is steaming.

Qi Xiuyuan sat in the right seat, and Lu Manman and Yun Shuang'er sat opposite each other. On the dinner table, except for the slight collision of dishes and chopsticks from time to time to make a dingdong sound, the three of them silently ate the vegetables, and occasionally Yun Shuang'er would send a few words, Lu Manman didn't answer, Qi Xiuyuan said: "I'll talk after eating."

…… Eat and sleep.

…… Okay.

Lu Manman was eating, his eyes couldn't help but look at Qi Xiuyuan's side secretly, and secretly looked at others.

Qi Xiuyuan's eating movements were clean and neat, and he was a little elegant and calm. Even if you chew a piece of greens, you can control it properly and not make a clattering chewing sound.

On the Christmas snow night in M City that day, she only cared about the fragrant spicy noodles in front of her, and it was indeed ...... I didn't notice Qi Xiuyuan's eating posture.

Thinking like this, Lu Manman followed and picked up the green vegetables in front of him, wanting to learn from Qi Xiuyuan's appearance and taste whether the green vegetables eaten like this would have other different tastes.

It's just that he picked up the green vegetables, and before he put them in the bowl, Professor Qi, who had been cold and silent, suddenly cleared his throat and said flutteringly: "Lu Manman, you can move in tomorrow."

Lu Manman's action of picking up vegetables paused.

The greens were unfortunate, snapped, and fell on the table, and the greasy body of the vegetables slipped around on the glass plate, and the greasy vegetables were stained.

Lu Manman: "Huh?" He looked at Qi Xiuyuan with a puzzled expression, and the chopsticks in his hand stopped in mid-air.

What did he just say?

Yun Shuang'er nibbled on the chicken legs, blinking and staring at Qi Xiuyuan, she didn't understand.

Qi Xiuyuan took out a paper towel from the paper tube on the table, stretched out his slender hand to Lu Manman's table, picked it up with his fingertips, and spread the paper towel on the cabbage that fell on the table, covered it, withdrew his hand, and then explained to Lu Manman, "Shuang'er is going to go to the field with the art class to train and study in the winter vacation, and you also know that her art foundation is not good, and she doesn't have much time, I hope you will come to make up for her every night in the next few weeks except for weekends." ”

Qi Xiuyuan said word by word, his voice was neither high nor low, his eyes were not biased towards Lu Manman, and he did not miss any of the expressions on Lu Manman's face.

Lu Manman came back to his senses as he spoke, frowned, and put down his chopsticks.

Qi Xiuyuan's words were very clear, and Lu Manman could understand it.

It's just, "But why did you move here?" "That's the point.

Yun Shuang'er echoed and nodded.

Qi Xiuyuan pursed the corners of his mouth, "The tutoring time will be very late at night, you are a girl walking back and forth at night, don't you feel unsafe?" ”

The topic was lightly thrown to Lu Manman.

What about Lu Manman......

Yes......

When Qi Xiuyuan said this, his tone was light. This is just a matter of caring for the safety of girls when they go out, and Qi Xiuyuan asked her to move here for this reason.

But listening to Lu Manman's heart, it was tingling and itchy, and an indescribable warm current came out of his heart.

It's just......

"It's okay, I live in the opposite community, it's very close, don't be so troublesome......" Lu Manman looked at Qi Xiu's profound gaze, and finally shook his head without feeling angry and refused the other party.

Boom.

No......

She hasn't even started to pursue people yet, so isn't the speed progressing a little fast......

She also wants a little bit of private space......

For her reaction, Qi Xiuyuan didn't expect that she would be rejected so quickly. After a pause, Qi Xiuyuan looked away, picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and sighed lightly, "That's it." ”

Lu Manman: Hmm......

Silently followed and picked up chopsticks.

"But you're pretty good at cooking." Qi Xiuyuan put a bowl of soup on the table, took a little spoon and took a sip, didn't look up at Lu Manman again, just muttered about the bowl of pork ribs and stewed corn soup.

Lu Manman: How did "Ang ......" change the topic? I can't keep up with my thoughts......

Yun Shuang'er blinked again, and then echoed and added: "The tomato egg soup that the teacher cooked last time was also wrong!" Sweet and sour! ”

——

Soon after lunch, Qi Xiuyuan was going out again with a briefcase to change his shoes, Yun Shuang'er and Lu Manman were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, their eyes were sharp, staring at Qi Xiuyuan, and their voices were loud: "Brother, you won't just come back to eat!" And she said, Ah! In previous years, this time of the welfare home! Isn't it very, very busy!

Lu Manman followed Yun Shuang'er to the entrance of the door, the door was already half open, the weather outside was still gloomy, and the rain had stopped.

Qi Xiu didn't look back, but he replied, but he didn't say it to Yun Shuang'er, who was shouting and screaming, "I hit your card at night last month's salary, remember to check." ”

A low, pleasant tone.

Lu Manman's action of wiping the table slowed down, Yun Shuang'er patted Lu Manman's shoulder, Lu Manman pulled the corners of his mouth, and replied to the other party: "Okay!"

Qi Xiuyuan closed the door and left.

Yun Shuang'er patted Lu Manman's shoulder excitedly: "Teacher, you are going to pay your salary!"

Lu Manman, looking back at Yun Shuang'er with faint eyes.

"Do you want to pay me a good meal? I haven't had a snack in a long time 233......"

Lu Manman, his eyelids jumped, "That's your family's money and I sent it on the card, dear ......"

Yun Shuang'er: "Ah......"

——

The afternoon class progressed smoothly, and in the evening, Yun Shuang'er completed the second sketch, and Lu Manman commented on the guidance before getting up and preparing to go back.

Her classes only lasted until 17 o'clock in the afternoon, and she had to go back, buy vegetables, cook, catch up with the manuscript, and live alone in a hurry.

"Teacher, are you sure you won't move in?" Yun Shuang'er followed Lu Manman to pack up the brush, muttering about it again.

Lu Manman shook his head, "No, my family lives close, it's okay." On the contrary, if you live here, it's not very convenient to say anything, such as the things in front of you: she is the cartoonist "Slow Swallow" herself that Yun Shuang'er admires.

"I have a lot of rooms, it doesn't matter." Yun Shuang'er added, her big eyes dripping, "You don't have to worry about not having a room to sleep in~"

Lu Manman: "......" She knows that they have a lot of rooms, okay......

When Lu Manman was about to leave, Qi Xiuyuan hadn't come back yet, and the sky outside was getting darker, as if it was going to rain again. Yun Shuang'er was a little reluctant to go back to Lu Manman so soon, and pulled the corner of Lu Manman's clothes and didn't let go, "Teacher, do you want to stay for a while, wait for my third brother to come back from abroad and bring a lot of food, you stay and eat together~"

…… Three sentences are not separated from eating.

Lu Manman was helpless, unscrewed Yun Shuang'er's hand holding his sleeve, and raised the mobile phone screen to show Yun Shuang'er: "It's not that I don't want to accompany you, my landlord just sent me a message and is coming to collect rent."

What's more, oh, other people's family gatherings, what is she doing to make a fuss?

Yun Shuang'er: "Ang ......"

After Lu Manman left, Yun Shuang'er was lying lazily on the sofa, the TV was on, and the audio sound was not loud or small.

When Qi Xiuyuan came back, he saw Yun Shuang'er's decadent look, walked over, kicked her calf with disgust, and condescendedly, "Get up, have you written your homework?" What are you doing here? Waste of time? ”

Yun Shuang'er turned over sluggishly, her face tangled.

Qi Xiuyuan is: Hate iron does not become steel. Turn around and walk away.

"When is the third brother coming?" Yun Shuang'er struggled to get up from the sofa and asked Qi Xiuyuan's back.

Qi Xiuyuan didn't look back, and walked upstairs to the study, "It's almost over." ”

"Will you bring food?" Yun Shuang'er looked back and forth at the things in the room, but didn't see Qi Xiuyuan coming back with takeout.

Qi Xiuyuan: "......" doesn't speak.

Yun Shuang'er got up from the sofa on the ground, and she would bring food, but oh...... "But just now I wanted the teacher to stay and eat together, but her landlord has to collect rent...... If you don't collect it sooner rather than later, you won't receive it late! Brother, you should have forced her to live with us before! Third brother he ......"

"Are you so sure that your third brother will like a woman of Lu Manman's style?" Qi Xiuyuan stopped, turned around, and now on the stairs, he looked at Yun Shuang'er chattering downstairs in a condescending manner, his eyes dark.

Yun Shuang'er sighed and nodded, looking very affirmative, "What the third brother said in person last time......"

Yun Shuang'er said.

Qi Xiu looked at her from afar, stopped talking, and for a while, expressionless, turned around and went back to the room.

Leave Yun Shuang'er: ...... What's the situation?

——

So in the end, when the third brother in Yun Shuang'er's mouth arrived at Ruiquan Villa from the airport, Shuang'er's classmates were enthusiastic until they saw the third brother beside him. Hydrothoracic fluid. Snake. After the waist of the Western beauty, the fire of passion: snort, extinguished.

"Third brother, didn't you say that I should introduce you to elegant and dignified girls!" Yun Shuang'er was so excited that she almost stepped forward to pull the other party's collar and questioned.

The third brother raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders, and grabbed the shoulders of the Western beauties, "That's the thing, but the third brother still likes hot beauties in the end." ”

Yun Shuang'er: (╯‵□′)╯(┴─┴Flip the table!

Qi Xiuyuan, who was not far away, holding his chin and watching the play, Yun Shuang'er turned his head to look at Qi Xiuyuan. Qi Xiuyuan didn't raise his eyes, and hummed a cold breath from his nose.

Yun Shuang'er: "......"

——

In the hall downstairs, Yun Shuang'er and her third brother and the girlfriend brought by the third brother were having a lot of fun and were in full swing. Upstairs, Qi Xiuyuan sorted out the courseware, the router was pressed in the study, and the signal was relatively strong, so he moved the computer to the study, and while making courseware materials, he casually sorted out some messy items on the desk.

Then, I turned to a few new books: the four famous books in the condensed version, and the thin four books.

Qi Xiuyuan's fingertips paused, and his gaze stopped at the four brand-new books.

Then, the ghost made the gods, as if he had thought of something, gently opened the title page, and unexpectedly, he saw Lu Manman's unique handwriting: "Study hard!" There is no harm in knowing more about such a thing as a famous book. Come on~"

It was quite late that day, and Lu Manman posted @slow-swallowing: Happy New Year's Day [Rose] on Weibo, and soon swiped Far's interactive topic on the hour: talk about the broad and profound expression of Chinese culture xiàn_______

The comments are going up, Lu Man clicks on the comments, and the comments are all kinds of comments.

@李书杭: Roll the sheets? Get lost.

@↑ Late words: "There are loquat trees in the court, and the hands planted by my wife in the year of her death are now like a pavilion." 21 times in love like this!

Leaning long on the head of the bed, slowly swipe down the screen.

The comments from netizens are bizarre. It has to be said that Far has cultivated a bunch of jokers.

In the dead of night, it started to rain again.

Lu Manman continued to swipe down a little, and then, stopped at the comment with more than one word in the popular comments:

@垫着脚思念: If I hadn't been born in China, I would never have been able to understand how far away the end of the world is, and what kind of lovesickness the broken intestines are.

Lu Manman read it word by word.
