Chapter 73: Xia Tingyin

Gu Xi sat on the side of the cooking table, counting the ingredients in front of him, "Green vegetables, fresh fish, prawns, squid, ox's eye, tomatoes, green and red peppers, eggplant......"

On the opposite side stood Cheng Qi.

She took a bright tomato, shook it, looked at Cheng Qi and asked slowly, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Cheng Qi looked at her and shook his head.

Gu Xi said, "You yourself said that you wouldn't let me cook, then we have to eat, of course someone has to do it, it's not me, that's you!" You can't eat something outside every day, it's not healthy. ”

Cheng Qi said, "But I can't cook." ”

Gu Xi took out a few asparagus, "That's not Chinese, it's simpler, let's make a Western." ”

Cheng Qi said, "...... I will taste the food. ”

"I'll only taste it." Gu Xi put down the asparagus and picked up another packet of salad, "Then I'll work hard, and I'll eat cold dishes with you." You can always mix this up, right? ”

Cheng Qi approached her and discussed, "Cheng Jin and Cheng Si can cook, or call the two of them over." ”

Gu Xi said, "Is it that if I fall in love with you in the future, I want four people to be together, if so, you sue me as soon as possible, and I want to be mentally prepared to reads;." ”

Cheng Qi paused for a second, raised his hand and began to pick among the ingredients, "Then you teach me, what do you like to eat?" ”

Gu Xi's heart skipped a slight beat, this question was so natural, she was hit by surprise, and sweetness welled up in her heart, which made her extremely happy.

She said, "It's good to fry the steak, it's simple, let's marinate it, and then fry it." Easiest. ”

"Do you like to eat?" Cheng Qi took the beef, "This location is good." When it comes to steak, I've seen the chef make it. Don't you think it's better to do it, why don't you let him do it once, and I'll learn it later, and then make it for you to eat? ”

Gu Xi said, "Why bother others, it's a big deal, it's a little unpalatable, you just don't think about it." ”

"I don't want you to see me doing things I'm not good at, what if I don't like me in my heart?" Cheng Qi's tone was "tangled".

Gu Xi was caught off guard and was sweetened again, she pretended to be flat and said, "I'm looking for a boyfriend and not a chef, don't interrupt, let's start quickly." She jumped out of her chair, "I'll tie your apron." This kitchen is rarely used at first glance, is there an apron? ”

"Nope." Cheng Qi pulled his sleeve, paused, turned his head and suddenly stretched out his arm in front of Gu Xi. Gu Xi just found the black pepper grinder from the cupboard, she put down the grinder and helped Cheng Qi roll up her sleeves.

Cheng Qi smiled.

Gu Xi rolled up his sleeves in a circle very neatly, the shirt was clean and expensive, Gu Xi couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, and there was a feeling of indescribable, beautiful and beautiful. This man's hands, with such beautiful handwriting, are now willing to peel potatoes and onions for himself.

But suddenly I was a little reluctant.

"Actually," she said...... You don't have to do it all the time, just this once. I thought, you must not have cooked for anyone else...... In the future, we will not be together, and I think I will be happy today. ”

Cheng Qi's smile froze on his face, he looked at Gu Xi, she was so serious about rolling up his sleeves, just now he was feeling sweet, but now he felt that the slow and refined action was with a kind of piety.

It's like a long goodbye. To meet is to separate......

He hugged Gu Xi, and instantly felt sad in his heart, his mouth moved a few times, but he found that he couldn't say anything, and he was stuck in his heart and throat, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

******

Gu Xi is good at frying steak, and he doesn't need much technical content at all, Cheng Qi can learn it. After dinner, Cheng Qi accompanied Gu Xi to work until ten o'clock, and then went to the bedroom to get a set of pajamas.

Gu Xi changed into pajamas from the guest room, and when she looked at the clothes in Cheng Qi's hand, she was a little strange, "Who are you?" "She's going to sleep in the living room tonight.

Cheng Qi said, "There is a suite opposite, and Cheng Jin and Cheng Si came to live there before." You have a good night's rest. ”

Gu Xi nodded, and didn't care about him playing with himself. The heart was suddenly a little stunned.

Cheng Qi approached her and whispered, "...... Do you want me to sleep with you before leaving? ”

"I'll have to look at the materials for a while." Gu Xi said, "If you finish dealing with things early, you can go home early." ”

Cheng Qi raised his hand on the back of her neck, pressed it to himself, kissed it on his forehead, and said, "Don't think nonsense, I wanted to make you mine earlier, but now I think it's still right for you." ”

Gu Xi looked at him, not knowing what he was thinking at this moment.

Cheng Qi said, "I'll listen to you in the future." ”

Gu Xi is a little inexplicable, he has never been so well-behaved, so crisp, and so easy to speak.

"Then I'll send you."

"I'll see you." Cheng Qi sent her to the bedroom and took a laptop computer to her, "Just read the meeting materials and go to bed early." ”

Gu Xi sat comfortably and turned on the computer, "I'll sleep after I finish this section, and I'll use it tomorrow morning." ”

Cheng Qi raised his hand, but took it back, he walked out, and when he closed the door, he put his hand on the doorknob, and wanted to push it open again after a while.

He turned and walked out, and soon, again, he told himself that she was so cautious and worried, but she still let herself slowly approach. It seems that he has decided to be willful once and let himself never recover, but he still wants to stay awake from time to time.

The urge to take care of it at first sight and just want to keep it for yourself turned into an unspeakable pity and fell in my heart.

He hesitated when he walked to the gate, but this feeling was really unbearable, just like just now, if he touched her more, he wouldn't be able to leave tonight.

I want to be a boyfriend who doesn't knock down my girlfriend, why is it so difficult.

******

You can rest easy at night and work hard during the day.

The few people recruited by Dai Shaodong are okay, they are all people arranged by his father from Dijing City when he came over, and when Gu Xi knew, he couldn't help but sigh to Cheng Qi, "Parents in the world, who are not dedicated to their children." ”

Cheng Qi did not affect her work at all this time. Even when she went out during the day and had a meeting with Dai Shaodong and them, he did not express an opinion. Because of their difficult conditions, they didn't want people to know, so they chose a suite in the hotel next to them.

It is said that meetings are held around the dining table every day.

******

Cheng Qi looked at his watch, and the TV in front of him was broadcasting people to cook. The words of Gu Xi that day remained in his heart for a long time.

When Cheng Jin and James arrived, he was holding a cooking towel on his left shoulder and a wooden spoon in his right hand.

Cheng Jin entered the door and was stunned by his brother's appearance.

He walked in, the room was full of fragrance, and he was even more frightened, "Brother, are you doing paella?" ”

"Nice nose." Cheng Qi wiped his hands with the cloth on his shoulder.

Cheng Jin rushed to the kitchen in a few steps, and saw a pot of paella, with a circle of prawns lined up on it, as well as other seafood scattered, beautiful in shape, it doesn't matter if you can eat it or not, he looked at Cheng Qi with incredible eyes, "This is what you did?" ”

Cheng Qi said, "Let's have dinner together tonight." Gu Xi is coming back soon. ”

When Cheng Jin heard this, the look of surprise on his face faded, and Zhengse said, "Brother S has found out the news." ”

"Say." Cheng Qi threw the cloth on the table.

S said, "...... It was found that the man had another home outside and a son. The tone was visibly ashamed.

Cheng Qi looked at him and asked, "For so long, why haven't you found out that he still has a home?" ”

S said: "The mother and son are not here, and they don't see each other all year round, and they hide very deeply. This time we were on the phone with him, just in time for that son's birthday. ”

Cheng Qi said, "You continue." ”

S looked at Cheng Qi's face slightly, he couldn't see the joy and anger, the kindness at home was gone the moment he just entered the door, and he said, "The accident in Pingcheng has also been investigated." ”

Cheng Qi looked at him, "Did he do it too?" ”

*******

When Gu Xi returned home, abnormally, Cheng Si and Cheng Jin were there, and the room was warm and lively.

The three brothers gathered around the cooking table, with green cocktails on it, and Cheng Qi waved at her, "Come here." ”

Gu Xi walked over, but strangely felt that something was wrong.

Cheng Qi put his arm on her shoulder and said, "I made paella today, so let Cheng Si and Cheng Jin come over and eat with us." He turned around and pushed Gu Xi to look at his "work".

Gu Xi said, "It's so fragrant, I smelled it when I entered the door." ”

"You wash your hands first." Cheng Qi turned around and took the shaker, and poured out half a green cocktail, "Try it." ”

Gu Xi wiped his hands and took a sip of his hand, "Ini." ”

"Do you like to drink?" Cheng Qi looked at her and asked very attentively.

Gu Xi said, "I like it." ”

Cheng Qi looked at her with pity, feeling that the meaning of this sentence was more like, as long as you do it, I like it.

Cheng Si looked at them and looked away again.

Cheng Jin said, "Brother, when can I eat, I've been waiting for more than an hour." ”

The first time the four of them ate together, it was unusually harmonious. After dinner, we chatted together for a while.

Gu Xi's work today also came to an end, Cheng Si and Cheng Jin left, she didn't need to rush to work as usual, so she went to change her clothes and take a shower first. When he came out, Cheng Qi was looking at the computer, looking a little cold.

She didn't adapt for a while, Cheng Qi said that he only used the computer when he was working. She turned around to dry her hair, and when she came out, Cheng Qi had turned off the computer this time, holding a phone in her hand, and she was stunned.

She stood at the door of the bathroom, still feeling that he was not very affectionate, and said, "I forgot to tell you...... We can leave for home tomorrow. Dai Shaodong will go back in a few days. ”

Cheng Qi put down her mobile phone, looked at her and said, "The accident in Pingcheng has been found out." ”

Gu Xi walked a few steps over, unable to hide his surprise, "So fast." ”

"If you have a goal, you will naturally check it quickly. It was Dai Shaodong's uncle who did it. ”

Gu Xi: "......" this efficiency, people are more popular than people. Just wanted to ask for details.

"I need to get out of the way for a while." Cheng Qi said, "I'll give you an explanation for this matter." But for now, for now, you can just pretend you don't know. ”

Gu Xi nodded, his heart was already raised, and he said that he wanted to leave reads;.

Cheng Qi stretched out his hand to her, "Tomorrow I will send you back first, and then leave." ”

Gu Xi put his hand in his palm and asked in a low voice, "What you are going to leave is also related to Dai Shaodong's uncle, or is it because of me?" ”

"Because of myself." Cheng Qi said, "It's to check my business, and by the way, I found out the news you wanted." ”

Gu Xi felt that compared with the news he wanted, Cheng Qi's matter was obviously much more important.

She asked uncertainly, "That means that the kidnapping case was done by Dai Shaodong's uncle?" ”

"He doesn't have that much ability." Cheng Qi rubbed her hands, "There are others." They didn't stand still for half a year, and my people never had any clues. This time thanks to you. He looked up at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi's heart is even more entangled.

"Is the other party very powerful?" can make Cheng Qi look for half a year, obviously a powerful person.

Cheng Qi shook his head and said softly. "You don't have to worry about me." He stood up, "You have a good rest tonight, and I'll send you back tomorrow." ”

Gu Xi obviously felt his alienation, and when she saw Cheng Qi walking out, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and stepped forward to hug him, "You ...... tonight Stay here. ”

As soon as the words came out, she felt Cheng Qi stiffen significantly.

Cheng Qi was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and looked at Gu Xi, "You are testing me, are you afraid that I am in danger?" ”

Gu Xi raised his head, looked at his face, and was speechless.

Cheng Qi's heart trembled, if Gu Xi was emotional, his eyes could simply kill, not to mention that at this moment, he suddenly discovered that Gu Xi didn't love him. She loves herself.

He stretched out his hand and hugged Gu Xi into his arms, "I'm really angry with myself today, I've never suffered a loss before, and when you saved me, you obviously said that you were afraid of trouble." But I still didn't control myself. ”

He lowered his head and kissed Gu Xi's hair, "Gu Xi......"

She's so gentle and knows everything. Little by little, it is like a seed in his heart, pulling out a flexible silk and tying himself up step by step. Now thinking back on every meeting, he blames himself and suffers, "I'm angry with myself, I want to be separated from you like this, or I can't accompany you, I shouldn't have come to you at that time." But only this time...... Good no good. His voice was soft, and he wanted to soothe her with his best words.

Gu Xi hugged his waist, silently, tightly, but didn't let go.

Cheng Qi was uncomfortable by this silent tenderness, he said, "I'm going to be fine, but I have to deal with this matter personally." Just this once, we'll both be together from now on. ”

Gu Xi still hugged like that, with a brutal persistence.

Cheng Qi didn't know what to do, he lowered his head, pushed it several times, and used his strength to push it away a little, he looked down at her and said, "It's really okay, I'll call you every day." I won't accept your invitation tonight, it's not that I don't want to, but ......" His voice was faintly smiling, and he approached Gu Xi and said, "This kind of thing has begun...... How can I leave you? ”

Gu Xi stretched out his hand to hug him again, and he didn't understand and didn't care.

Cheng Qi raised his hand, and for a while, he didn't know what to do.
