20. Confession

Xu Ning felt like he was dying.

The stairs seemed to never end, so long and so far that she felt that she might not even be able to climb to the top by this time tomorrow.

What kind of sin is this, you can't stay at home during a good holiday, but the cat has to run here to climb the mountain and blow the cold wind?!

As if to match her bleak state of mind, the mountain wind suddenly increased its intensity, whimpering and whistling, the wind and sand walked all over the rocks, and Xu Ning even had a kind of rush that he would be blown down.

Fortunately, it was just her delusion.

A strong arm supported her waist from behind, and Cheng Zhi's helpless and funny voice sounded in her ears, "A-Ning, I didn't expect you to be so scumbag in motor nerves, and you rarely exercise, right?" ”

How could I have fallen in love with such a poisonous tongue? For the first time, Xu Ning had doubts about his vision. She decided to ignore her boss's tease and continued to pant against the railing.

The gale was only a gust, and Lucie, who was already almost thirty meters ahead, turned around and waved at her, not noticing Aunt Xu's cold and bitter mood at all, "A-Ning, come on!" A Chinese with a Henan accent came over in such a resonant manner, and passers-by paid attention one after another, Xu Ning ...... Xu Ning was wearing a mask and was not afraid of being seen.

Cheng Zhi still held her waist and chuckled, "It's not far, let's go." He took two steps and stopped, "Give me your bag." ”

Xu Ning thought, this person still knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. So without hesitation, I took off the backpack and gave it to him. Cheng Zhi carried his bag on his back, hung Xu Ning's bag on his chest, and stretched out his right hand wearing leather gloves, "Come on, I'll take you." ”

Her heartbeat increased for no reason, and Xu Ning felt that since that day, she had become a little less like herself. Slimy, not at all.

But liking someone, maybe that's what it is, right? There is no youthful and beautiful heartbeat when I was in love for the first time, but there is no lack of flustered throbbing.

The hand was on his, through the gloves, as if there was body temperature, and through the layers of twists and turns, it was transmitted to the depths of his heart.

I don't know if it's male/sexual/seductive/confusing, the next journey Xu Ning seems to have exploded into a small universe, and climbed to the top of the mountain in one go, without a break in the middle, even if he is tired and becomes a dog, it can be regarded as going against his own sky.

Cheng Zhi put his arm around her waist and didn't let her sit, "There is a meditation room inside, obedient." ”

Listen... Speech...?

This ambiguous word made Xu Ning panic and shortness of breath, his hand taking off his mask paused, and he responded vaguely, and under his leadership, he stepped into this ancient temple with a long history.

Lucie and Aaron have already gone in to visit, both of them are probably monkeys, and their good motor nerves make people envious, jealous and hateful. Today's weather is not good, the temperature is low, although it is the first day of the new year, there are not many people coming. Cheng Zhishun was about to go to a meditation room to rest, and Xu Ning sat down on the chair, half dead.

Cheng Zhi came in with a kettle, opened Xu Ning's backpack again, took out her thermos cup, unscrewed the lid, and poured water into it.

"Ginger tea boiled in mountain spring water warms the stomach and drives away the cold."

Xu Ning took it slowly, took a sip, and it was not difficult to drink! With a little sweet and sour, and ginger spicy, like Pu'er tea with hawthorn.

Cheng Zhi poured herself a glass, smacked her lips with the lid of her thermos cup, "It's delicious." Then he asked, "Would you like to go out for a walk?" ”

The corner of his eye swept over the lid of the cup in his hand, and Xu Ning was in a slightly complicated mood. When she came, she drank all the water in the thermos cup with the one, and this person ...... Is it true that I don't understand or fake that I don't understand? Or is it deliberately provocative/teasing?

……

Burn incense, make a wish, stuff money into the merit box, draw lots, and ask for peace charms...... Xu Ning is meticulous. Xu's mother is a Buddhist, Xu Ning has kowtowed to the Bodhisattva at home since she was a child, kneeling three times and knocking nine times, Lucie learned her movements, and when it was over, Xu Ning asked, "You are not a Christian?" ”

"No, I'm an atheist."

Xu Ning: "......" This girl really knows how to follow the local customs.

After eating the fast at noon and resting for a while, the four of them went down the mountain. The steps of the temple are not steep, and they are even smoother than ordinary steps, so the descent is easier than the uphill, just like going down the stairs on a regular basis.

Back to the city, each to his own home. Xu Ning was so tired that he fell asleep in the car, and when he was woken up, he was still confused and didn't react.

Cheng Zhi helped her brush the hair from the corners of her mouth aside, "I'm home, get out of the car." ”

He was a little closer, and Xu Ning could even feel the warm breath that he breathed out as he exhaled and inhaled. There was a momentary impulse, she wanted to ask the doubts in her heart, everyone is an adult, there is no need to play a plausible trick that wants to be indulged.

But the impulse was only for a moment, Xu Ning was a sane girl in the end, she staggered her gaze, lowered her head, pretended to be serious about unbuckling her seat belt, and then opened the door and got out of the car.

The ambiguity is gone.

The next two days were uneventful, going to work on Tuesday, from 9 to 5, Xu Ning did his duty and served the master's food, clothing, housing and transportation, which was no different from usual.

Mr. Ho came to Jiangcheng from Beijing on Wednesday to help with the transfer of Mr. Chen's shares, and Mr. Chen formally submitted his resignation on Monday.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the branch was in an uproar, no one thought that she would resign directly! You must know that although this is only a branch of Cheng's family, the treatment is generous and the status is transcendent. Anyone who has entered Cheng's family, no one wants to leave his job lightly, not to mention that when he is in the position of manager, he is also the first few positions in the branch. Even if it is not as good as the head office, but the emperor is far away, who can suppress her here except for the general manager and vice president?

"Xu Tezhu, why did you say that Mr. Chen resigned? Is it because her husband is embarrassed to make trouble? After Zhang Xiao finished reporting his work, he couldn't help but ask Xu Ning.

It can also be seen that Xu Ning, the scheming, usually plays a role, and Zhang Xiaoneng asks about this, which means that his heart has been brought together.

Xu Ning said, "If you don't get to the job, who wants to give up your hard work?" However, she didn't sympathize with Chen Xiangshan at all, and she was naturally disgusted with Xiao San.

Zhang Xiao sighed a few words, and couldn't help but think in his heart, Xu Tezhu is a shrewd, capable and beautiful person who doesn't know if he will follow the old path of Mr. Chen in the future, it's a pity.

When he got home in the evening, Xu Ning received a call from Zhou Nan when he was cooking, complaining about all the unpleasantness of newlywed life.

In fact, it is not a big deal, that is, when Ma Hongbin's parents and relatives came from their hometown to attend the wedding, and afterwards, his father and younger siblings left with their relatives, and his mother stayed to serve her daughter-in-law.

Ma Hongbin's family is rooted in Miao Hong's ancestors for three generations, and his background cannot be compared with those in the city. Living habits and thinking patterns are all different. I didn't think it was far away before, but this one lives under the same roof, and the problem arises.

In fact, it is nothing more than the old man is thrifty, the savings are a little excessive, the hygiene habits are not good, and the speech is like to swear words, which may be accustomed to in their hometown, but in the city, especially the daughter-in-law who is a teacher, it sounds very harsh.

Now that they have just lived together for a few days, Zhou Nan can still bear it, what will happen in the future, to be honest, Xu Ning feels that it is not optimistic.

"Think more about your old horse, it's not easy for him to be caught in the middle. Besides, these uncles and aunts have not all been analyzed with you before, and they have not been acted in the TV series, since they have been identified, don't regret it. ”

"I don't regret it! I'm just annoying! You don't know that his mother's three sentences can bring out six dirty words, I am pregnant with a child in my belly, not to mention prenatal education, in the future, the child may not be the first sentence to swear words! ”

Xu Ning listened to Zhile, "Then you should tell Lao Ma that he is the child's father, so he will have a headache." ”

A hand reached out from behind, and Cheng Zhi whispered in her ear, "You go call, I'll come." Without saying anything, he took the spoon she stirred in his hand.

Xu Ning instinctively turned his head, and then his bloody lips brushed the corners of his lips and slid across his cheeks.

Xu Ning: "......"

Cheng Zhi touched the place where he was kissed, as if he was smiling, but he didn't say anything, just patted her head and signaled to go out to make a call.

Zhou Nan was still complaining over there, pouring out her sorrows, Xu Ning sighed in her heart, and didn't interrupt her, listening to the balabala on the phone, while thinking about her thoughts speechlessly.

When he finally poured enough bitter water, Zhou Nan's voice changed and asked, "My dear, last time you went on a blind date, you Cheng was always jealous?" ”

How could Xu Ning have the heart to gossip about this with her, the main owner is in the kitchen.

"You're alright, I'm hanging up the phone, I'm cooking."

"Oops, you're shy?"

Xu Guliang's answer was to hang up the phone directly. Then he lay down on the bed, not wanting to leave the room.

The accident just now was definitely intentional by Cheng Zhi! It's okay to be so close, it's so ambiguous, if you don't take advantage of yourself, you don't believe it.

But now the question is, how to deal with it? Is it pretending that nothing is happening or is it being single-minded? Xu Ning was a little entangled, if she was given a choice, she hoped that she could continue to be a shrunken turtle, but would Cheng Zhi be willing?

Maybe he wants to, maybe he just wants to play this kind of teasing/teasing game with her, and it doesn't have to be fun with her.

Xu Ning's heart was messed up, and the good and bad were all together, which made her head hurt. In the end, he sat up from the bed suddenly, feeling that he was really embarrassed to be like this, and she was not a little girl who had never seen the world, so why should she suffer from gains and losses like this, it was boring.

Opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, Cheng Zhi poked his head out of the kitchen, "A-Ning, is this porridge good?" ”

Xu Ning entered the kitchen and saw that the beans were blooming, so he turned off the heat and set up the pot to prepare for stir-frying.

"Let's be together."

The hand that poured oil into the pot paused suddenly, Xu Ning's mind was a little dizzy, and he always maintained a trace of clarity.

"A-Ning, I have feelings for you," taking the oil pot in her hand, Cheng Zhi looked at her and said in a very sincere tone, "I think you also have feelings for me, we are all adults, don't play guessing games, try it everywhere?" ”
