CHAPTER XV
was a little entangled, but Lin Qiao still decided to take him home, after all, such a big bargain is not a stupid roe deer.
After Shen Qingzhou got a satisfactory answer, he kept looking out the window carelessly, and when he passed a shopping mall, he turned his head and said to Lin Qiao, "Pull over." ”
Lin Qiao asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”
"I'm going to go there." He raised his hand and gestured to the mall outside.
Although Lin Qiao had doubts in her heart, it was not a big deal, she didn't ask much, and obediently pulled over to the side.
"I'll be waiting for you in the car." She said.
Shen Qingzhou nodded: "Thank you." ”
"Master Shen doesn't have to be polite." Her tone was very polite.
He was polite, she was more polite than him, and this realization really made him feel very angry.
Shen Qingzhou opened the car door and got out of the car, walked into the mall quickly, Lin Qiao sat in the car with his hands on his chest and waited, turned on the radio when he was bored, and happened to hear the weather forecast.
The weather forecast said that there would be heavy rain tonight, and she looked at the sky, and it was indeed a bit cloudy.
Why don't you let Shen Qingzhou come back another day? Otherwise, it is very inconvenient to have heavy rain at night, and it is needless to say that there is a traffic jam, and the key is to be afraid of accidents.
Thinking hesitantly in his heart, it didn't take long for someone to knock on the car window, Lin Qiao looked at the co-pilot's window, saw that it was Shen Qingzhou, and immediately opened the car lock.
Shen Qingzhou opened the car door and stepped into the car, carrying three Armani paper bags in his hands, and the clothes on his body had been changed.
Lin Qiao looked at this new man with some surprise, the black suit with accurate size was very slim, the collar and corner of the white shirt were neatly arranged, his figure was very suitable for wearing a suit, especially the waist, his waist was very thin, his shoulders were wide, and the lines that were oblique on both sides were particularly felt, and people always felt hot in the lower abdomen.
Probably because Lin Qiao's eyes were too hot, even Shen Qingzhou, who never liked to explain, had to speak: "After staying in the hospital for a long time in the morning, it is inevitable that there will be a smell on the clothes, and changing clothes is the most basic courtesy." ”
Lin Qiao silently reached out and took the paper bag that was in the way at his feet, and the ghost came to a strange sentence: "I'll help you wash it." ”
Shen Qingzhou was stunned, frowned slightly and looked at her with a complicated expression.
Lin Qiao's face flushed, and he hurriedly explained: "Master Shen gave me such a big discount, I should help you do these little things, provided you don't dislike it." ”
Shen Qingzhou didn't seem to care about her explanation, he had his own set of ideas, and no matter what others said, he couldn't shake it.
He just bowed his head slightly and said, "Then trouble Miss Lin, you don't have to be so polite to me, just call me by my name." ”
Lin Qiao opened his mouth, but he couldn't scream, so in order to hide his embarrassment, he had to put the paper bag in his hand in the back seat of the car, straighten his body and concentrate on driving.
The car slowly drove towards the Lin family's new house in Beijing's hazy and gloomy weather, and it was already more than six o'clock in the evening at this time, and Shen Qingzhou inevitably had to have dinner at Lin's house, so Lin Qiao quietly sent a text message to his father when he was driving, asking him to arrange it, but who knew that the other party actually called back.
Lin Qiao glanced at Shen Qingzhou weakly, said sorry and answered the phone with Bluetooth, and Lin's father's voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "Qiaoqiao, why didn't you say earlier that Master Shen was coming?" ”
"Is something wrong?" Lin Qiao asked uncertainly.
Dad Lin said: "I made an appointment with a customer to sign a contract tonight, and I want to eat out, and I guess I can go back very late, so I can't arrange it." ”
Lin Qiao frowned, thought for a while and said, "That's okay, I'll do it myself, Dad, you drink less." ”
Dad Lin responded: "Don't worry, I will definitely drink less." ”
Lin Qiao said goodbye to Dad Lin, and after hanging up the phone, she looked at Shen Qingzhou uncomfortably, Shen Qingzhou didn't look at her, her eyes kept looking out the window, and she didn't seem to care about the conversation here, which made her mood calm down a little.
After quietly driving the car all the way to Lin's house and parking the car in the garage, Lin Qiao and Shen Qingzhou walked towards the house together, the gloomy sky sounded thunder at this time, Lin Qiao looked up at the sky, and a sad look appeared on his face.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to stay here." Shen Qingzhou said suddenly.
Lin Qiao looked at him in surprise and said slowly: "I didn't mean that, I was afraid that the rain would delay the drive and cause you to go back too late." ”
Shen Qingzhou's delicate side face was a little difficult to see in the gradually darkening light, but his voice was much softer than just now: "It's okay, Du Xinling is also in Beijing, and Xiao Ning has him to take care of." ”
Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll be relieved." ”
Shen Qingzhou didn't react, didn't say anything, and just walked forward.
The two walked into the gate of the house together, and he had been observing his surroundings on the way, he just watched, and didn't say anything, there should be nothing wrong.
After entering the house, before Lin Qiao could speak, the maid came over by herself, and said to her anxiously: "Miss Lin, my son and daughter-in-law are working overtime today, and they may not be able to go home in time if it rains, and my grandson is home alone, I don't worry, can I take a leave tonight?" ”
Lin Qiao was stunned, his brows furrowed, and he looked at Shen Qingzhou embarrassedly, how smart the other party was, he immediately said indifferently: "I'll sit down and leave for a while, no need to bother." ”
Although he said that there was no need to bother, there was still trouble after all, and it was a matter of etiquette. Lin Qiao thought about it for a while, but still agreed to the maid's request. Her own cooking skills are not bad, so she should have no problem dealing with the two of them.
The servant left in a hurry, only the two of them were left in the huge mansion, Lin Qiao held a paper bag containing Shen Qingzhou's clothes in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said to him: "Master Shen sit down first, I'll go and put the things away, let's eat here tonight, there should be vegetables in the kitchen, if you don't dislike it, I'll cook." ”
Shen Qingzhou sat on the sofa and looked up at her, with a smile in her long narrow eyes, she originally thought that he would be a little polite, but he agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, I'm tired."
“…… You're welcome. ”
Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, went upstairs and put the bag in the house, put the paper bag next to the washing machine, changed his clothes and went downstairs.
Walking downstairs, Lin Qiao found that Shen Qingzhou was not sitting on the sofa, but strolling leisurely around the room with his hands in his pockets, his eyes carefully looking at every corner of the room, and from time to time he stretched out his hand to change the position of something.
Lin Qiao knew that he was "busy", so he didn't bother him, and walked into the kitchen and worked hard for dinner.
I don't know when, the sound of rain sounded outside the window, the rain was getting louder and louder with the thunder, and the sound of rain made people feel quiet and a little worried.
The four dishes and one soup that are not too complicated, Lin Qiao made it for almost an hour, and when it was served to the table, it was full of color and flavor, which was quite painstaking.
Shen Qingzhou was invited to the dining table by her, sat down face to face with her, the honey-colored light of the restaurant sprinkled on her fair and beautiful face, her flawless skin was so good that it seemed to be dripping water, so he couldn't help but move his index finger.
Obviously, his focus is not on the dish, but on the person.
Lin Qiao quietly clenched his fist under the table, looked at him a little nervously and said, "I don't cook often, if the skills are not good, Master Shen should not dislike it." ”
Shen Qingzhou didn't answer her words, but just corrected her address to him: "I said it, just call me by my name." ”
Lin Qiao lost his mind slightly, and let out an "oh" slowly, in a somewhat unnatural state.
Shen Qingzhou didn't force her anymore, and raised his hand and put it on the dining table, which meant that he was going to eat.
Lin Qiao hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and beckoned him to eat, as soon as the two of them got off the chopsticks, the lights above their heads made a sizzling sound, and in a few blinks of an eye, the lights in the double-storey villa all disappeared.
It's like, there's a power outage.
Lin Qiao held the rice bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and looked at Shen Qingzhou with dull and embarrassed eyes. Shen Qingzhou's expression couldn't be seen clearly in the dark, and the sound of rain outside drowned out the sound of the two of them's breathing, making the two of them very happy that they didn't have to be in a completely quiet space.
"There's a power outage." Shen Qingzhou whispered three words, and then asked, "Do you want to repair?" ”
Lin Qiao's voice was so soft that it was almost drowned out by the rain: "Will you?" ”
Shen Qingzhou glanced at her inexplicably, got up and walked out.
Ten minutes later, Shen Qingzhou closed the door of the electric gate and said, "It's not here, it's probably because the rain is too heavy, and there is a problem with the nearby line, and the call will come when it is repaired over there." ”
Lin Qiao stood beside him and nodded, the big dark house made her feel very insecure, and she unconsciously stood a lot closer to him: "I'm really sorry, please have a coarse tea and light meal but there is a power outage." ”
Shen Qingzhou didn't care much and said, "There are no emergency lights at home?" ”
“…… Just moved and haven't had time to buy it. Lin Qiao blushed and hung his head.
Shen Qingzhou said again: "Is there a candle?" ”
"Candles?"
So, a few candles were placed on the table, and although the light was not as bright as the light, it was barely enough to finish the meal.
Inexplicably, a good serious dinner turned into an ambiguous candlelight dinner, and Lin Qiao unconsciously remembered the situation on the day Shen Qingzhou fell ill in his mind, and his red face, which was already illuminated by candlelight, became more and more red.
Shen Qingzhou didn't look up, he kept his eyelids down and ate quietly, his long eyelashes laying a layer of vivid silhouette under his eyes, which made him a little more pyrotechnic, and he no longer looked so indifferent that it was difficult to approach.
After eating this dinner intermittently, Lin Qiao and Shen Qingzhou walked to the living room with a candle.
She accidentally found that the curtains were flying in an inconspicuous place in the corner, and she instantly realized that she hadn't closed the window yet, so she hurriedly said to Shen Qingzhou: "Master Shen, you wait first, I'll close the window." ”
Shen Qingzhou watched her rush to the corner with the candle, the candle was quickly extinguished by the rain that swept in, the slender girl directly put the candle aside, and closed the window against the wind and rain, and the wet curtains were slapped on her by the wind from time to time, and she was very embarrassed.
Sighing unconsciously, Shen Qingzhou put the candle on the coffee table safely and steadily, and helped her close the window from the other direction, the window here has no curtains, and the closing speed is obviously much faster than her, she ran into him after closing the two doors, and he was sprinkled with rain in a brand new suit.
At this moment, the lights in the house came on again, and it turned out to be a call.
Lin Qiao didn't dare to raise his head, only dared to look at his chest, and said a little cautiously, "Thank you, Master Shen." ”
Shen Qingzhou took a step forward, her face almost pressed against his chest, and the mud spots on her white shirt made her feel more and more guilty.
"You're welcome, I said, just call me by name." As he spoke, he lowered his head slowly, a soft voice wafted in her ears, and the warm breath made her ears tingle, and he said, "Call me, Qingzhou." ”
