Chapter 90: Talking about marriage
"I've eaten too." I put down my chopsticks, it was too torturous to eat like this.
As soon as I stood up, Qiao Yichen held my wrist: "Accompany me." β
In ancient times, children needed to be accompanied by a scholar to read; Now, the three young people must also have someone to accompany them when they eat, which is really pompous. I thought that Qiao Yichen's mother was still there, and it would be rude for me to go back to my room now. Go to the living room to accompany her or accompany Qiao Yichen in the dining room, if I can choose, of course I choose to accompany Qiao Yichen.
I sat down as I said, and put a bowl of ginseng chicken soup in front of Qiao Yichen: "Drink some soup." β
"Okay." Qiao Yichen picked up the spoon and drank the chicken soup elegantly.
"Miss Zhen, you're welcome." I turned my head to look at Zhen Shu, and added a yam silver silk roll with chopsticks and put it on the plate in front of her: "Although the dim sum made by Aunt Lan is not as fine as your cook, it is also delicious, you can taste it." β
"Thank you." Zhen Shu took a small bite of the snack, and seemed a little overwhelmed.
Qiao Yichen saw me giving Zhen Shu cloth vegetables, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I want it too." β
"......" What kind of trouble is this, people who usually don't eat any desserts, now clamoring for snacks, today is Chinese New Year's Eve and not April Fool's Day. I sandwiched a piece of dim sum for Qiao Yichen and put it in his bowl.
Sanshao gave special face today, ate all the dumplings I made, and then ate snacks.
Everyone drank tea in the living room for a while, and Zhen Shu slowly spoke: "It's not early, I should go back." β
Qiao Yichen's mother said softly: "It's so late, Yichen, you can send Xiaoshu back." She smiled softly, but her gaze swept towards me with a hint of defiance.
Zhen Shu hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, I'll just call a car, it's very convenient." β
Aunt Lan came over to replace the new fruit bowl and refreshments, and Qiao Yichen said, "Aunt Lan, you let Lao Zhao prepare the car and send Miss Zhen home." β
In fact, Qiao Yichen's mother is really worried, even if Qiao Yichen personally sends Zhen Shu back, I won't be angry. First of all, this is what she asked Qiao Yichen to do, and Qiao Yichen did not take the initiative to propose it; Secondly, isn't it just to send the lady home, I still have dinner with the man at noon, this normal social behavior can't trust each other, so just buy a pair and handcuff the two together, and don't have to do anything every day.
"Yes, young master, I'll go tell him." Not long after Aunt Lan went out, she came back: "Miss Zhen, the car is ready." β
Zhen Shu got up and nodded at Qiao Yichen's mother: "Aunt Fanghua, I'll go back first, and I'll go to the hotel to see you in a few days." Chen, Miss Jing, goodbye. β
I sent Zhen Shu to the foyer and watched the servants serve her and put on her coat: "Miss Zhen, goodbye." β
"Goodbye." The servant accompanied her out the door, and I watched through the floor-to-ceiling windows as the car drove out of the courtyard before turning back into the living room.
Now the living room is under low pressure, Qiao Yichen and his mother have black faces, anyway, I don't want to stay here at all, it's weird.
"Yi Chen, what the hell do you mean?!" Qiao Yichen's mother was obviously not as calm as Qiao Yichen, so she opened her mouth first.
"This sentence should be me asking you, said that the family had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, what did you call Zhen Shu for?" Qiao Yichen didn't go around the corner, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you leave outsiders here too?" A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Qiao Yichen's mother's mouth: "The Qiao family can't call my turn, so I can't invite someone to dinner here?" β
"You know I didn't mean that, and I can't help it." Qiao Yichen's tone softened slightly, and his dark eyes were full of certainty: "Besides, Xin Xin is not an outsider. β
"Hehe, I've only known each other for a few days, and I'm not an outsider." Qiao Yichen's mother sneered: "You and Xiaoshu grew up together, and you used to say that Feiqing would not marry, so what is it?" β
"You also said it, that was ...... in the past" Qiao Yichen turned his head to look at me sitting on the sofa: "Xin Xin, go upstairs and help me put down the bath water." β
"Oh." If I have been pardoned, I can finally leave this place of right and wrong.
I walked down the hallway on the second floor, and I could still hear them arguing intermittentlyβ
"I think Xiaoshu is very good now, and I don't object to you being together!"
"If you think Zhen Shu is not good, we will separate; Now that you think she's okay again, we're going to be together. What do you think of me for? Test your preferred machine? A puppet without autonomous consciousness? β
β¦β¦
I walked briskly into the bedroom, and I wasn't really interested in their conversation at all. Qiao Yichen did say before that he had a girlfriend and thought about marrying each other. But I never thought that Qiao Yichen had dated before, and the girlfriend who reached the point of talking about marriage was Zhen Shu. When Qiao Yichen took me to Fuyunxuan for dinner for the first time, I felt that Zhen Shu admired Qiao Yichen very much. But Qiao Yichen's attitude towards Zhen Shu has always been indifferent, and he can't see any clues at all. How indifferent and ruthless is a person to be able to treat people who once wanted to enter the marriage hall together like strangers?
I think that the longer I spend with Qiao Yichen, the more I can't understand him.
After I finished using the bathroom, I put the water in the bathtub and chose the thermostatic mode, and then went to sleep. I was already in a daze, and the ** cushion next to me sank a little, and then fell into the arms with the smell of fresh essential oil soap. I was woken up too early by Qiao Yichen today, so I was already sleepy. I also got used to Qiao Yichen's forced habits, and found a comfortable position in his arms to continue sleeping. But Qiao Yichen didn't plan to let me sleep, and the dense kisses fell on my cheeks and neck, which was particularly itchy.
I closed my eyes and plunged my head directly into Qiao Yichen's arms. Qiao Yichen began to kiss my hair, and a pair of burning palms climbed up my back, and finally reached the front. I wrapped up the quilt and rolled to the edge of the **, and yelled at Qiao Yichen angrily: "Can you still let people sleep!" β
Qiao Yichen took me into his arms: "You have served me in the bath, I have to serve you to sleep in return." β
"I don't need to!" I struggled for a long time and didn't escape the clutches, Qiao Yichen directly hugged me down**, I didn't know what he was going to do, I couldn't help but shudder: "What are you doing!?" I'm going to sleep! β
"You're not good, I'll throw you into the yard!" Qiao Yichen had a straight face, looking as if he was serious.
Shrimp? Let's not talk about how cold it is at night when it's winter...... In the middle of the night, he was wrapped in a quilt and thrown into the yard by Qiao Yichen, the reason was 'I'm not good'...... No matter how strong my nerves are, I'm not strong enough to be like this, do I want to see anyone tomorrow?
"I don't want it." My arms climbed up my broad shoulders and wrapped my arms around Qiao Yichen's neck.
The corners of Qiao Yichen's mouth magically curved, and he lowered his head and kissed me on the forehead against his chin. I realized that he was playing tricks on me, and I just wanted to let go of my hand, but Qiao Yichen withdrew the arm holding my waist one step ahead of me: "Hold it, if you fall down and flash your waist, you will have to lie down this year." β
I glared at Qiao Yichen dissatisfied, he smiled cynically at me, walked to the window a few steps, and opened the curtains. Then put me in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. As soon as my foot touched the woolly carpet floor, I let go of the arms around his neck. Qiao Yichen wrapped the quilt around me, and then hugged me from behind.
Before I could figure out what Qiao Yichen was going to do, my eyes were attracted by the fireworks blooming in the night sky, and the golden-red light image of the tail feathers of the phoenix outlined gorgeous lines in the inky sky, so beautiful that it was unreal: "Qiao Yichen, fireworks!" β
"Hmm." Qiao Yichen calmly tightened the arm around my waist, and rested his chin on the top of my head. At this time, the fireworks in the sky became more and more dense, and my eyes were a little overwhelmed: "Do you like it?" β
"Hmm...... Well? "This is a high-end villa area, I thought I had caught up with the local tyrants to burn money, and there were so many fireworks and they were all beautiful patterns that are rarely seen in ordinary times. It turned out that the local tyrant who set off the fireworks was Qiao Yichen: "These are specially for me?" β
"Or else?" Qiao Yichen kissed my hair: "I don't want to wake you up, but I didn't expect someone to fall asleep like a pig, I didn't wait for myself to sleep, it's so lazy......"
How can I say it, knowing that these fireworks are prepared for me, it is completely different from the feeling I thought it was a firework just now, and my chest seems to be filled with melting warmth: "Thank you." β
"As long as you like it, I'm satisfied." Qiao Yichen sighed inaudibly: "Jing Xin......"
"Huh?"
"You don't have any questions for me?" Qiao Yichen hooked my hair with his fingers.
"No......" I shook my head.
"Why?" Qiao Yichen seemed a little frustrated.
"No, why...... What should I know, you will tell me; What you shouldn't know...... I don't know......" I said lightly.
"Xin Xin, are you lying......" Qiao Yichen clasped me tightly in his arms, as if if if I didn't do this, I would disappear in the next second: "You don't ask not because you don't want to know, but because you gave up ......" I can feel Qiao Yichen's body trembling slightly, because the mood swings are too great, maybe it's ...... Afraid? Qiao Yichen's tone was tinged with pain: "You said you wouldn't give up first, you have to break your promise now...... He took a deep breath: "Jing Xin, I don't allow it!" I won't let you break your word, and I won't let you give up! We're going to be together, forever! β
I looked up into Qiao Yichen's eyes, and his eyes reflected the brilliant fireworks, but they couldn't cover the panic. I suddenly felt sad, Jing Xin, how can you put an invulnerable person like Qiao Yichen in a panic.
I didn't know how to respond to Qiao Yichen, and I was also terrified when he pierced my thoughts with his words. I don't think anyone has ever seen it so thoroughly: I really thought about being with Qiao Yichen through thick and thin for the rest of my life, even if one day, me or him, it is more likely that we both have nothing, in a small gray city, living a hard life, he has to calculate how to pay off the mortgage more cost-effectively, I have to compete with the hawker in the vegetable market......
But when his mother asked him where to put Zhen Shu, I flinched - if Qiao Yichen's mother was determined to get along with me, I wouldn't have resisted for a few moments. In addition to ordinary people's respect for their mothers, because of the sensitive identity of 'surrogate mother', Qiao Yichen will definitely listen to his mother unconditionally, and he can give up his childhood sweetheart for his mother's likes and dislikes. What am I?
