CHAPTER XX

"Why don't you wait in the building on such a cold day?" After Ning Zhiyuan got into the car, he glared at Quiet angrily, turned up the warm air in the car, and then started the car and drove towards Quiet's house. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info quietly stuck out his tongue and did not make a sound. Ning Zhiyuan used the corner of his eye to take her small movements into his eyes, and smiled secretly in his heart, this girl also has a naughty side. It's been a long time since I've heard about her nightmare, and it seems that Miss An's mental state has been good recently, and there is a tendency to gradually return to normal.

"What are you going to have for dinner today?" Would you like to go buy some groceries first? Ning Zhiyuan stopped the car at the red light intersection, looked sideways and asked quietly. Jing smiled softly: "I don't need you to cook today, I want to freeze dumplings in the refrigerator." "Oh? It won't be the same frozen dumplings as last time, right? "Ning Zhiyuan passed through the intersection with the traffic." Of course not," Quiet pouted, "I did it myself last night." Ning Zhiyuan said with a hint of surprise in his voice: "I didn't expect you to make dumplings, so I'll try it." ”

Back at Quiet's house, he went to the kitchen to boil water, Quietness took out two crisper boxes from the freezer of the refrigerator and put them on the counter, and made two cups of honey grapefruit tea, "Try the honey grapefruit tea I made myself first." ”

Ning Zhiyuan took the teacup and took a sip: "Well, the taste is quite strong, why don't I know when you made this?" Jing leaned on the counter and took a sip before saying, "I did it last week, and I kept it in the refrigerator, didn't you see it?" Ning Zhiyuan put down the cup in his hand, poured the dumplings in the crisper into the boiling water, and looked back meaningfully while stirring the spoon lightly.

Only then did Quiet realize that what she had just said was too easy for people to be ambiguous, as if two people were living together. She turned her head sideways to avoid Ning Zhiyuan's gaze, and covered up her embarrassment by drinking water. Ning Zhiyuan looked at the pink color on the fair skin behind Quiet's ears and smiled softly.

More than half of the two plates of dumplings were eaten by Ning Zhiyuan, and he didn't forget to praise the quiet craftsmanship while eating: "Well, the skin is thin and the filling is tender, and the taste is delicious." I don't like the frozen dumplings sold in the supermarket, they don't have the fragrance of the family wrap. Quietly staring at Ning Zhiyuan and said, "Last time I cooked quick-frozen dumplings for you, you didn't raise any objections!" ”

Ning Zhiyuan smiled: "Just because we don't like it doesn't mean we can't eat it, sometimes we squat outside and can't eat a serious meal for several days." If you were so picky, you wouldn't have starved to death a long time ago. Ning Zhiyuan's words were light-hearted, but hearing the quiet ears made her nose sour, and a trace of pain crossed her heart, this man always said that she wouldn't take care of herself, but in fact, why didn't he himself?

After eating, Ning Zhiyuan still didn't let Quiet interfere, washing dishes and cleaning up the kitchen by himself. Leaning quietly at the door of the kitchen, looking at Ning Zhiyuan's tall back who was busy in the kitchen, a complex emotion came to his heart. This man with a rough appearance and a delicate heart is slowly infiltrating his life, and this feeling makes Quiet both nostalgic and afraid.

Ning Zhiyuan packed up his things, wiped his hands dry, and turned around to see Jing Jing leaning against the wall of the door. He curled the corners of his mouth slightly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the quiet face, slowly moved back to the back of the quiet head, and put the other hand on her waist, lowered his head and gently covered his lips on the quiet soft lips.

Quiet was stunned by Ning Zhiyuan's sudden move, the warm feeling made her lose herself instantly, her eyes widened, and she looked at Ning Zhiyuan's enlarged face in front of her in amazement, until she felt her lips being gently sucked, and then she came back to her senses. Jing Jing put his two hands on Ning Zhiyuan's chest and pushed him hard, while turning his head to the side, and said in a trembling voice: "No, don't do this." ”

Ning Zhiyuan grabbed the two quiet hands, put his head on her forehead, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I can't help it." There was a hint of disappointment in his hoarse voice. Jing Jing felt that her blood had all surged above her head, and she seemed to be whispering to herself: "I'm not ready, I don't know what to say......" Ning Zhiyuan gently squeezed Quiet's hand: "Don't say anything, I know everything." You go to the living room first, and I'll cut some fruit. ”

After cutting the fruit, Ning Zhiyuan came to the living room with the fruit plate, and sat quietly on the sofa with a pillow, his face still red. Ning Zhiyuan sat down next to Jingjing, tied a piece of apple with a fruit stick and handed it to her: "Don't always think cranky, eat fruit." Quiet put the apple in her mouth, suddenly stood up and said, "Oh, by the way, I've checked all those manuscripts, you wait a minute." ”

After a while, he quietly came out of the bedroom with the manuscript and a few academic journals: "There are three papers here, and the content is basically the same as these ones in the manuscript, except for a few changes in the layout and sentences. ”

Ning Zhiyuan took the journal and the manuscript and checked it carefully, and sure enough, there were only some small discrepancies in wording in some places. Without exception, the authors of the papers are all Xiao Yuping, one of them has the second author Qi Fang, and the publication time of the three papers is last year.

"Also," Jing Jing handed Ning Zhiyuan a stack of manuscripts again, "I heard Dr. Qi mention this 'application of integrated Chinese and Western medicine in trauma', which was a scientific research project led by Dr. Xiao at the end of last year, and it has not yet been completed." However, I was not a member of the team for this project, so I couldn't see the proposal. "Is Qi Fang a member of the group?" Ning Zhiyuan asked. "Yes," nodded quietly, "Dr. Xiao basically does scientific research projects with him. ”

Ning Zhiyuan touched his chin and lowered his eyes silently, quietly knowing that he was thinking about the problem, he didn't make a sound, sat on the side and looked at him quietly. The man's resolute side face was imprinted in his eyes, and he quietly remembered the kiss just now, and unconsciously pursed his lips, the warm and soft touch seemed to be still there, and his face couldn't help but turn crimson again, and his heartbeat was out of rhythm. She quickly looked away, got up and went to the bathroom to turn on the faucet, and gently patted a handful of cold water on her face.

When Ning Jing returned to the living room again, Ning Zhiyuan had already sorted out the copies of the manuscript and the journals, he stood up and said to Jing Jing: "I'll go back first, I'll take these things back and study them." Quietly sent him to the door, Ning Zhiyuan suddenly turned around, the thumb of his right hand gently crossed Quiet's lips, and said with a smile: "There is a snack from the wedding cake shop in the kitchen, it's very sweet!" ”

The quiet heart that had just calmed down was disturbed by Ning Zhiyuan's pun, and she blushed and whispered: "You are careful on the road, drive slowly." Ning Zhiyuan nodded: "You also rest early, and I will pick you up from work tomorrow morning." (To be continued.) )
