Chapter 14: The Rain Grows Stronger (13)

Jingyi knew that this was probably the wine she had drunk tonight in her body, and the warmth on his body always tugged at her heartstrings. She kind of understands that this is not good, but what does it matter if it is good or not? She didn't want to be awake, alone, sad tonight......

She also knew that Tao Xiang was not easy to mess with...... It's really hard to mess with...... He barely let her rest that night. I don't know where he got so much energy, where he got so many tricks, until she cried, he was still controlling himself to want to come again...... This kind of small, intermittent giving was even more unbearable for her than his fierce demands...... When she finally fell asleep and couldn't wait to sleep, it was already dark.

Tao Xiang's mind is becoming clearer and clearer.

She was between his arms, her back pressed against his. The bodies of the two were sticky and glued, they should go to take a shower to wash away the sweat, and he didn't want to move.

Just his hand was playing with her long, still damp hair, long black silk, and he picked up a strand and wrapped it around his fingers, wrapping it all over and around it, and then wrapping it around and around it...... He repeated the action so mechanically that he heard six chimes.

He was about to get out of bed before he could sleep.

Looking at her sideways, she didn't mean to wake up at all. And it looks like she still has a lot of sleep.

He was about to withdraw his arm, which was a little sore.

She was startled, and in a daze, she moved outwards and shrunk into a semicircle. The sheet slid down a bit, revealing her shoulders and half of her back.

He took a deep breath and pulled the sheet up and over her shoulder.

I got up and lifted the gauze curtain to look outside, the morning glow was full of sky, and it looked like it should be a sunny day.

He stepped on something on the ground.

It's the stack of cards.

He picked it up and looked through it one by one.

The stuffed bear was also thrown to the ground, and the crooked words were just like hers, mischievous and naΓ―ve.

He looked at it for a moment, then placed the stuffed bear next to her pillow.

She was in a deep sleep, frowning slightly.

There seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes......

He turned around and closed the thick cloth curtains, and the light in the room was sucked out in an instant. Then he turned around and took his military uniform and went out.

"Seventh Uncle is early!" Cersei was walking upstairs on her little chubby legs. A bright voice yelled at him.

Tao Xiang closed the door and clapped his hands at her with a smile.

He picked her up, held her under his flanks, and when he washed his face, he let him stand on the table and hold the tooth powder box for him, and made a mouthful of foam that deliberately sprayed on Cersei's face.

She laughed and cooed.

He listened patiently and asked, "Cersei, can you memorize an alphabet?" ”

He smiled as he listened to the milky, staccatock, toss-and-turn reciting the alphabet.

……

When Jingyi woke up, the room was still dark.

She thought it was still early, she was still sleepy, and she wanted to sleep again, but suddenly she felt that something was wrong, and she hurriedly touched her pocket watch from under the pillow, but she didn't touch it where she expected. Her mind was in chaos, and she suddenly remembered that when she took a bath last night, she put it on the table, and she wanted to go back and take it out, and the jade pendant hanging around her neck...... But then I couldn't go back.

She couldn't help but have a fever on her face, and she wanted to get up, and her body fell back with soreness. Pulling the lamp rope open, the bedside lamp came on, and she looked at the messy bed, the other side was already empty-he didn't know when he got up and left, and he seemed to have an important event scheduled today...... His half is neat, and even the pillow is loosened before leaving, right? It's as if no one has ever slept. This made her a little dazed, and she didn't know if it was because she was still drunk last night...... She pulled the sheet and wrapped herself in the bed and went to bed, on the washstand in the bathroom, sure enough, her jade and watch were there. She leaned against the door, touched her watch, opened it, and saw the little picture of her mother first, and she froze for a moment...... She suddenly thought of her mother last night.

The crooked words reminded her of her memories.

At Cersser's age, she couldn't write her name well. So many strokes...... was teased by the seventh sister and the eighth sister, saying that her name did not look like the daughter of the Cheng family, they were from the Cheng family. If you don't write your name well, you will be punished by your mother. If you can't finish writing, you cry; Crying and saying don't call Jingyi anymore, it's too hard to write...... But the mother was not allowed to cry.

The ninth brother dragged the third brother to intercede for her.

At that time, the third brother was already a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and he rarely walked around the inner house when he had nothing to do.

Although her mother taught her to be strict, the third brother interceded, but he still spared her.

The matter of changing the name is, of course, a gamble. She is young, but she also knows that looking at her mother's face, some things are not allowed to be mentioned. Later, when I grew up, I couldn't get over it in my heart. Du's mother knew what was on her mind, and once mentioned it to her, her father gave her the same name as her brothers and sisters, but like her brothers, she used a sad character. It was her mother who felt it was inappropriate, and her father came up with another name.

In fact, her real name should be called Zhisu, Cheng Zhisu.

She never had the courage to ask her mother why she would rather be different.

And now, it's her birthday, the first time in her life, thinking of this day, the person who hurts the most has gone, and will never bring her a bowl of birthday noodles again, let alone answer the doubts in her heart......

Jingyi inhaled, and in the hazy eyes of tears, she could see the moment on her watch clearly.

She wiped her eyesβ€”it was already noon!

"Oh my God!" She let out a mournful cry and looked in the mirror at the red-faced, disheveled woman wrapped in a sheet...... She hurried out of the bathroom and rummaged through the closet. I hurriedly changed my clothes, opened the curtains, and the sun outside poured in, and it was a sunny day! The sun shines brightly on the lush greenery of the yard!

She washed up and went out, went downstairs lightly, and the house was quiet...... She came down the stairs and still didn't see anyone.

She was wondering when a little maid came out and saw her busy calling Grandma Qi.

"Where's the second young grandmother?" Jingyi asked.

"The second young grandmother took Miss Eight and Miss Cersei out, saying that the weather is good today, and Miss Eight will go shopping and see the big school." The little maid replied smartly.

Jingyi felt hungry at this time, but she was too embarrassed to say it immediately, so she asked, "Where is Qiu Wei?" ”

I don't know where this girl is.

"I'm busy in the kitchen early in the morning. I'll go find her......" said the little maid.

"No, I'll go myself." Jingyi said.

What is Qiu Wei busy in the kitchen?

She was a little puzzled. As I walked, I lightened my pace. Walk down the side door of the dining room to a narrow staircase, and then down a flight of stairs to the intricate kitchen area below. Seeing her come down, the cook, the cook, and the helpers in the kitchen were all a little surprised, but then they realized that she was coming to find Qiu Wei, so they showed her the way. Jing Yi walked outside the operation room and looked inside from the door - obviously it was the noodle area, there were only Qiu Wei and a fat old man and Tu Huyi in the kitchen - Qiu Wei was holding a knife and cutting something...... Tu Huyi was smiling on the side, and suddenly looked up to see Jingyi.

Jingyi shook her head, pointed to it, and quietly walked away.

She came up and commanded, "Go down and tell Qiu Wei, and say that I am hungry and want to eat." Let her bring it to me. ”

Upstairs, reading the day's newspapers and reading the headlines, I waited for about half an hour before I heard footsteps coming from the stairs. She put down the newspaper and watched Qiu Wei walk in front with a wooden plate, and Tu Huyi followed behind with a thermos. Qiu Wei was a little timid, put down the plate and whispered, "Miss, will you eat a bowl of noodles?" ”

Jingyi snorted, took the chopsticks, and picked the noodles in the bowl. The face cut is really not presentable, the wide is wide, the narrow is narrow. It is a bowl of salty noodles with little water. There are two poached eggs, and they look ugly. Jing Yi silently took a sip of the soup and began to eat noodles.

"Is it delicious?" Qiu Wei couldn't help but ask.

Jingyi glanced at her and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"It's going to be delicious." Qiu Wei said with a grin, looking back at Tu Huyi.

Tu Huyi grinned, didn't say anything, and said, "Young grandma, I'm going down" and left first.

"It's delicious." Jingyi said.

Qiu Wei smiled and said, "I did it!" ”

Jingyi looked at her and asked in surprise, "You did it?" ”

"Well, I thought about it yesterday...... But no one mentioned Miss's birthday, and I was afraid that everyone would forget, so when I mentioned it, not only was everyone embarrassed, but Miss was also sad, so I didn't say it. Fortunately, the second young grandmother told me later, and I was relieved. I got up early today, and the second young grandmother said that this noodle is also very delicious......" Qiu Wei was a little proud.

Jing Yi looked at the remaining soup in the noodle bowl and asked, "What did they all eat in the morning?" ”

"Well, my uncle and the second young master also said that the first time I did it, it was so delicious and rare." Qiu Wei said with a smile.

Jing Yi sighed, I wanted to ask Qiu Wei if she hadn't tasted it herself, but Qiu Wei said: "By the way, Miss, my uncle said that Miss should not go out today, and asked Miss to accompany him to a place." Miss Ask to wait at home for him to come back. ”

Jingyi was drinking the soup, and responded vaguely with that mouthful of soup.

Qiu Wei was very happy because she made this bowl of noodles for her, she looked at Qiu Wei happy, and her heart was warm.

Qiu Wei packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went down, Jing Yi went to wash her face, and when she came back, she still had nothing to do, still flipping through the newspaper.

In addition to big newspapers such as "Central Daily" and "Jinling Evening News", Yamei also subscribed to English newspapers, and there were also two tabloids full of gossip, even whose aunt's wife gave birth to a child, and which family's young lady was engaged. Jing Yi looked at it, these news that I don't know whether they are true or false, because some names are familiar, but I also find it interesting...... The tabloids were full of pictures and texts, and she only looked at the photos later. There was a big news of the engagement, Mr. Du Wei and Miss Jenny Huang told their relatives and friends - she looked carefully, and it turned out to be Jenny Wong...... I don't know if Wujian did it deliberately, or I don't know the news, I haven't heard her mention it when we met the day before yesterday.

She was thinking about it, when the phone called, it was from the Confucian Mansion, and it was Wuji.

Wujian asked her if she could go over for afternoon tea, there were a few ladies there, I heard that she had come to Nanjing, and wanted to see the beauty.

Jingyi thought that Tao Xiang had said that she wanted her to wait for him at home, and at this time, I was afraid that it would be too late, and he would come back, so she said it truthfully and innocently.

Of course, Wujian felt a little disappointed, but he still made fun of her, saying that it would be changed tomorrow.

Jingyi agreed and put the microphone down.

She wanted to reconfirm the news of Jenny Huang's engagement in the next newspaper, but she didn't want to flip through the newspaper again, and saw another one: Miss Jin Yunqi's apartment had a night banquet, full of friends...... She frowned.

Jin Runqi was also in Nanjing at this time.

She perused the news. It can be seen from the news that Jin Runqi has been living here for a while, and her Japanese adoptive mother is like a celebrity mixed in the upper-class tea party here...... She put the newspaper down and was stunned for a moment.

Although this reporter writes tabloid lace news, his pen power is amazing, and Jin Yunqi's appearance has already jumped on the page in a few words.

She looked at the name of the news sfix. Reporter's eye. Apparently a pen name. But it's beautiful...... She folded the newspaper and set it aside. Gradually, drowsiness struck again, and I didn't bother to go to the bedroom, so I fell asleep on the sofa...... After a while, she heard a noise, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Tao Xiao sitting on the sofa opposite.

"Why don't you wake me up?" She rubbed her eyes.

He didn't know when he came back, and how long he sat there to watch her, and it was really inappropriate for him to have no manners like this.

"Just came back." Tao Xiang said. In fact, it has been a while since I came back, and I was going to come back and call her to leave, but I sat here and repeatedly delayed the time. Maybe seeing her sleeping so soundly, I can't bear to wake her up.

"Didn't you want me to wait for you? What's up? Jingyi was uncomfortable with him. Her hair was messed up, and she got up and got a comb and brushed it in the mirror.

"Change into clothes that are easy to move around and take you somewhere." Tao Xiang said.

Jingyi nodded.

Tao Xiang waited for her for a while, and saw that she came out with a change of clothes, a simple shirt and trousers, and a playful sunhat, which looked lively and ruddy.

"Let's go." He said.
