29. Heart-palpitating tenderness
Sha Pei next to him got up to get a beer at some point, and Mao Dong sandwiched a shrimp slip and put it in the Liang Ju bowl.
"Don't you love this?"
His voice was low, and Liang Ju suddenly felt drunk, and he already felt dizzy when he looked at Mao Dong's face.
How did he know she loved this?
"Thank you."
Mao Dong took back his chopsticks and sat up straight, and asked the waiter for a plate of shrimp slippery, the waiter pursed his lips and glanced at Liang Ju enviously, and ordered the menu.
Ah Yuan looked at the two people, was silent, lowered his head and continued to eat the dishes in the bowl.
Liang Ju didn't get too involved in the topic of Mao Dong and his three brothers, just listened quietly.
After three rounds of drinking, she heard Sha Pei ask Mao Dong, "Brother, has it all been solved over there in Guangzhou?" ”
Thinking of the compensation of the contract, Liang Ju also stopped his chopsticks and looked up at Mao Dong.
Mao Dong was still eating normally, "Well, it's solved." ”
In a few words, he downplayed the sudden change, and the few people present did not continue to ask.
Liang Ju didn't talk much about the whole meal, just eating, Shapi and A-Yuan hadn't seen Mao Dong for a long time, the three brothers seemed to have endless words when they got together, Shapi told Mao Dong about what had happened in the past few months, Mao Dong mostly just listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words.
Liang Ju was in a strange mood, she always felt that this meal was rare, so she didn't want to disturb them, but Ah Yuan, his biggest hobby seemed to be to refute Shar Pei all the time. Liang Ju thought it was funny to watch the two of them bickering.
Halfway through, Shapi received a call saying that a few buddies wanted to invite him to sing, he asked Liang Ju if he was going, Liang Ju shook his head, she ate too much and wanted to wander around. Mao Dong's temperament likes to be quiet, and it is even more impossible to go, Ah Yuan said that he wants to go home to sleep, and in the end, only Shapi left by himself.
After settling the account, Sha Pei gave Mao Dong the car keys, Ah Yuan said that he was going to go first if he didn't go by the way, Sha Pei wanted to take a taxi to see him off, and the two of them left first with their shoulders crossed.
There were only two people left, Mao Dong and Liang Ju, Mao Dong took the key and looked back at Liang Ju, "Are you going home?" ”
Liang Ju touched his stomach in embarrassment, "I want to go home, but I can't move." "It's fine to sit all the time, but now that she stands up, she feels the contents of her stomach suddenly plug near her throat.
A smile was cast over Mao Dong's eyes, "Let you eat so much." ”
The corners of his mouth were raised, his voice was low and soft, and he actually blushed a little when Liang Ju said it.
"Let's go, I'll send you."
Out of the hotel, a chill rushed to his face, Liang Ju was sweating from eating hot pot, and was blown by the wind, and immediately shivered.
"You go in first and wait, I'll drive."
Liang Ju wanted to join him, but before the words could be spoken, he had already walked down the steps.
I don't know when a light snow fell in the air, the bustling snowflakes were scattered in the air, Mao Dong was only wearing a jacket, he walked in the snow for a few steps, and a lot of snowflakes had fallen on his shoulders and hair.
He lit a cigarette with his back to her, smoked it, and headed to the parking lot.
Liang Ju stood in the glass door, looking at his back, the little coldness just now had long disappeared without a trace.
If it weren't for the beach conversation that night, perhaps, she would not have imagined that one day she would get along with him like this.
Liang Ju stood at the door wrapped in a coat for a while, and saw Mao Dong driving the car over.
As soon as I got into the passenger seat belt and fastened my seat belt, I turned around and saw a can of coffee handed in front of me.
"Cover your hands."
The coffee looked like it had just been scalded with hot water, and it was still steaming.
Looking up along the coffee, Mao Dongqingjun's face was a little blurry in the cab without the lights on.
His bad words, his thoughts, are all hidden in his actions.
For the first time, Liang Ju felt that Mao Dong was a thoughtful man, he couldn't say nice things, he couldn't make people happy, and everything he did came from his heart.
Along the way, because of the snow, the road was slippery, the speed was not fast, and the two of them were quiet and did not speak.
Liang Ju was holding the coffee and the whole person was warm, and she was a little full of food, so she was a little drowsy at this time.
She rested her head on the back of the car and tossed and staggered, as if she was about to fall asleep immediately.
In a daze, she felt the warmth on her body increase, and the temperature in the car rose, and there was no coolness at all.
Liang Ju was woken up by the ringing of the phone, and the ringtone rang a few times before someone pressed it, and then the sound of the car opening and closing, and the whole car also vibrated slightly.
When he moved, he felt that something was pressing on his body, and when he opened his eyes, Liang Ju found that it was a jacket draped over his body, and it was still warm.
The car door was opened again, and Mao Dong sat in from outside coolly.
"Sorry to wake you up." He rubbed his hands in the cold, and he still had a cold air on his body.
Seeing that he was only wearing a black sweater, Liang Ju immediately gave him the jacket on his body, "Go out with so little in this winter, don't freeze." ”
"Okay."
Mao Dong took the clothes and put them on, Liang Ju looked at him and suddenly remembered something, took out something from the pocket of his down jacket, and handed it to him.
"Look, is this yours?"
He looked at the red rope in her hand, slightly stunned, and looked at her as if he was silently asking.
"I picked it up at a pet hospital."
"Thank you." Mao Dong put away the red rope.
The car fell silent again, and Liang Ju looked out the window and found that he had arrived downstairs at his cousin's house.
"How long have we been here?" She had just fallen asleep, and if he hadn't gone out to answer the phone, she probably wouldn't have woken up for a while.
"You just slept soundly." So he didn't want to wake her up.
"Oh." Liang Ju lifted the bangs on his forehead behind his ears, feeling beautiful in his heart.
"That, thank you." She said.
Mao Donghu turned his head suspiciously, and Liang Ju explained: "I heard Sister Ling say that you specially asked her to take care of me before leaving, and I really have to thank you." ”
"Trouble again?"
"How is that possible!"
Liang Ju's eyes were full of 'you are mistaken', but he just pursed his lips and sat there watching her with his arms on the steering wheel.
She chuckled embarrassedly, "It's just a few unreasonable guests." ”
Mao Dong didn't speak again, Liang Ju swept him with his afterglow, and found that he was looking at her with a smile until his heart beat faster.
In winter, the weather was cold late at night, and the snow outside seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, Liang Ju picked up the dog food and put it on her lap, she felt that she should say something, at least say goodbye to him, and thank him for sending her back, or It's snowing outside the window, it's rare to have such romantic alone time, why don't you delay spending some time with him for a while?
Anyway, my cousin is not at home, do you want to invite him to sit down, drink some tea, and eat some snacks? Liang Ju pinched the bag of dog food in his arms, or was she hypocritically saying that the dog food was too heavy and she couldn't carry it?
Is it better to drink tea and eat snacks, or to carry dog food?
Just when she kept making small calculations in her heart, Mao Dong suddenly pointed to the dog food in her arms and asked, "This is bought for Duoduo?" ”
"yes, do you eat it too?"
“”
“”
"Thanks, I won't eat it." Mao Dong withdrew his hand, and the smile in his eyes grew.
A gust of cold wind seemed to blow in through the window, Liang Ju only felt a little cold, she laughed dryly, and the muscles on her face stiffened.
She's really stupid!
"Well, will you go up and sit down?" Slightly embarrassed, she pointed upstairs and asked.
"No, it's too late." Mao Dong shook his head slightly, and Liang Ju only felt that the sparkle in his eyes was like a soft lake, with sunlight shining on it.
Liang Ju was carrying dog food and was about to push the door to get out of the car, but before leaving, she turned around and said to him gently: "Be careful when driving on the road." ”
"Okay."
She looked at him, her arm raised, his hand resting on her short hair, and rubbed it gently, "Come on." ”
His voice was as low as water, flowing slowly, and the low temperature in the car rose rapidly under his rare tenderness.
Liang Ju felt a warm feeling on his cheeks.
She said, "Good night." ”
"Good night." He laughed.
***
All night, Liang Ju lay on the bed at his cousin's house, hugging the quilt and tossing and turning.
I sat up from the bed, opened the curtains, and the glass was covered with a layer of mist, and I looked out the window through the glass, and it was pitch black outside.
Since the two had a heart-to-knee conversation at the beach, Mao Dong's attitude towards her suddenly changed 180 degrees, which caught Liang Ju off guard.
The more she gets along, the more she feels that Mao Dong has a lot of things worth exploring for her, he is indifferent and introverted, like a lonely mirror, all people can't see his heart clearly in front of him, and what he sees is always his own wishful thinking, but sometimes, when the sun shines on that mirror, the reflected sunlight will surprise people.
Mao Dong, he is not as cold as his heart, he just completely locked himself in an impermeable shell, that shell, the shadow caused by the death of his parents and brother.
Liang Ju curled up his legs and glanced at Duoduo sleeping on the carpet, the little guy was sleeping soundly, his limbs stretched.
She wanted to break the shell for it, she wanted to get him out, she didn't want to see him trapped in it anymore.
Liang Ju remembered the reason why she chased Mao Dong at the beginning, maybe it was really because she broke up with Sun Qi at that time, and as Yu Yanjie said, she wanted to be crazy before graduation, she thought that Mao Dong would be the male protagonist who appeared in TV novels, because he was handsome, he played a cool playboy, and he also opened a bar, she wanted to play with fire through him, but after contact, she found out that he was not that kind of person.
The watch on the bedside table shows the time as zero o'clock.
00:00。
The beginning of the day is like a new departure.
Mao Dong is different from Sun Qi, they are not the same kind of person at all, and she can't be afraid to invest in the next serious relationship just because she was hurt in the previous relationship.
So, she really wanted to give it a try.
Now that the decision has been made, Liang Ju has to take action for the goal.
The first rays of sunlight in the morning gradually shone on the entire city of Qihai, and the steamer set sail on the river, and a new day began.
The alarm clock by the window jingled, Liang Ju turned over and wanted to sit in the quilt for a while for a sweet dream, but when she thought of something, she suddenly opened her eyes and quickly sat up from the bed, and startled Duoduo on the carpet.
The vegetable market has officially started selling vegetables before six o'clock, Liang Ju is holding the bag and leading Duoduo to stand at the door of the vegetable market, the cold wind is swishing and constantly pouring wind into the collar, so cold that Liang Ju feels that his teeth are chattering up and down.
Duoduo was carrying back to occupy the territory under the tree, Liang Ju stomped his feet and glanced at the watch on his wrist, it was not yet seven o'clock.
The so-called vegetable market is also the most common morning market, a small street is lined with all kinds of food, fruits and vegetables, seafood and meat, such a cold winter morning, there are already many uncles and aunts pushing bicycles or carrying small vegetable baskets to bargain with the vegetable vendors.
Although it was not the first time for Liang Ju to come to the morning market to buy vegetables, it was the first time he came so early. She took out the small menu she had written in advance from the pocket of her down jacket and bought it as it was written.
After buying the groceries, I went back to my cousin's house, and it took a few hours to make the meal the same, and the time was very fast, and it was more than ten o'clock in a blink of an eye.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room and calling Shapi, the phone rang a few times before it was answered, and his voice was still a little lazy.
"Orange, what are you doing so early in the morning?" His voice was groggy and nasal, and he didn't look like he was out of bed.
"Early in the morning? Big brother, it's ten o'clock now! ”
"Isn't ten o'clock on a big weekend still bedtime?"
Liang Ju snorted disdainfully, "Do you know which building Mao Dongge's house is in, I'm downstairs in his house now, and I forgot the specific house number." ”
"Are you downstairs in his house? Which home is downstairs? ”
"How many homes does he have?" Liang Ju was surprised.
There was a rustling voice on the other side of the phone, and it took a while for Sha's voice to come, "My brother sold the original house and now lives somewhere else." ”
"When? Really? ”
"Why am I lying to you!"
"Do you know where he lives now?"
"It seems to be" Sha Pei seemed to be thinking, and Liang Ju felt his heart skip a beat.
Shar Pei said on the other end of the phone, "My brother seems to live in his company now. ”
