"Brother Jiu, isn't the coffee good yet?" Lou Qingxiao walked over in a wheelchair.

Guan Luo put the phone aside and removed the drip from the rim of the cup.

"You try." He handed half a cup of fragrant coffee to Lou Qingxiao.

Lou Qingxiao took it and sniffed it: "It seems to be pretty good." ”

"Well, Vietnamese coffee has a special taste."

"Really? Then I'm going to try it. Lou Qingxiao smiled softly and raised her glass to take a sip. His brow immediately furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

"It's a bitter ......"

"Is it bitter? I added two spoonfuls of condensed milk. Guan Luo took a silver spoon and stirred it in the cup, stirring the condensed milk at the bottom of the cup: "Try again?" ”

Lou Qingxiao took another sip: "It's still bitter, and it smells sour." ”

Guan Luo could only smile helplessly: "The coffee beans in Vietnam are like this, located in the tropics, humid all year round, so the beans are more sour and bitter than those grown in other places, but the taste is fragrant." ”

Guan Luo said it rightly, although he doesn't drink coffee, he has studied it like a half-expert in the past few years.

Lou Qingxiao looked at his serious explanation, and felt bad in her heart.

She thought, such a good man, how could the relationship between them for so many years be fading because of a Tang Jingcheng!

"Brother Nine..."

"Huh?"

"I don't drink coffee anymore. It's too bitter, but I still like the taste before. ”

Guan Luo didn't say much, took the half cup of coffee in her hand, Lou Qingxiao saw the blood marks on his hands at a glance, on the back of his hand, there were obviously several blood marks, some of which were crescent marks.

This was caught by Tang Jingcheng last night.

She thought of the trick and tossed Guan Luo, and Guan Luo naturally refused to let go easily when she caught her. almost sucked her out of her bones, Xiao Nizi usually looks frivolous, but she can't resist a few violent strokes on the bed.

Guan Luo is also quite abrasive, knowing that her right shoulder is weak, he clasped her left hand. Knock it down. Tang Jingcheng didn't even have room to struggle, her body was churning violently, it was useless for her to beg for mercy, how could Guan Luo let her go through the door so easily, she probably couldn't stand it, so she could only use her fingernails to pick at his flesh indiscriminately.

At that time, Guan Luo didn't feel much pain, and after finishing the incident, he found that the back of his hand was full of blood marks that she had caught.

This is the lion cub...

Guan slightly recalled, and the pair of eyes that she had been helpless and powerless under her last night came to mind, blurry. Moist, but it doesn't hide the strong desire for him.

At that time, Tang Jingcheng's body was intertwined with contradictory beauty, while gritting his teeth to bear the heat that had accumulated in her body, his eyes were fragile and free, and he occasionally whispered and begged for mercy, as if he would be unable to bear it and faint anytime and anywhere, but on the other hand, he was recklessly trying to hook his soul, as if nothing was enough.

She's a shameless bad woman!

Guan Luo couldn't help but smile a little at the corner of his mouth, just being looked at by Lou Qingxiao.

"What's wrong with your hand?" She asked with concern, wanting to shake Guan Luo's wrist, Guan Luo quickly pulled it back, turned around and put the coffee cup on the table, and replied to her indifferently: "It's nothing, I accidentally rubbed it when I practiced boxing." ”

Lou Qingxiao glanced at his face, and Guan Luo had already put away his smile.

"Look at you, you're so old, why are you still as frizzy as when you were a child."

“……”

Guan Luo took a sip of cold water stuck in his throat and swallowed it for a long time.

"I have something to do in the afternoon."

"Well, I know, Ye Tan went to Yunnan?"

Guan Luo took the water cup and said, "How do you know?" ”

"She called me at the airport in the morning, complained to me that you asked her to go out on a mission during the Chinese New Year, and asked me if I wanted her to bring something from Yunnan."

Guan Luo's eyes darkened for a moment.

Lou Qingxiao laughed again, with a calm attitude: "You said that I wanted her to bring something at home all day, but she said that you asked her to bring several catties of top-grade Pu'er." ”

This is obviously a meaning, and Guan Luo has no intention of hiding it.

"Well, Tang Jingcheng likes to drink Pu'er tea."

"Yes, by the way, what happened to the injury on her shoulder? I've always wanted to find time to see her, why don't I ask her to come with me on my birthday this time? Lou Qingxiao easily brought the topic to her birthday.

In previous years, Guan Luo accompanied him on her birthday, and she didn't like to go out, everything was simple, usually the maid at home cooked a few more dishes, Guan Luo bought her a gift, accompanied her to have a meal, and drank two glasses of wine.

Just listen to her this breath this year...

"You've figured out how you're going to spend your birthday?"

"Well, this year happens to be my 28th year, or have we been outside?"

Guan Luo thought for a while: "It's up to you." ”

……

Su Jue's car moved at a constant speed all the way, piano music flowed in the carriage, and the two hardly spoke again, except that Tang Jingcheng occasionally peeked at the man with his spare eyes.

It seems that today he looks a little different, wearing a light brown pullover with a lapel with simple geometric shapes on it, this is probably the first time Tang Jingcheng has seen him wear clothes other than formal clothes, but the overall feeling is good, but it is not in his expression.

Tang Jingcheng found that the expression on his face had hardly changed since he got into the car, and his eyes were always dull and his cold eyebrows were frowning.

Facial paralysis man!

However, the man with facial paralysis is in a good mood to drive, even if he encounters traffic jams in the urban area, he is not impatient, quietly waiting for the red light, and quietly avoiding the car next to him.

Looking at it this way, if you put aside his identity and aura, and put aside the comments of insiders about him, just looking at Su Jue, who was driving seriously at this time, Tang Jingcheng suddenly felt that this man didn't seem to be as bad as he thought before, at least his skin and figure were amazing.

"This is the thirteenth time you've peeked at me, Miss Tang, are you interested in me?"

“……”

The man with facial paralysis spoke suddenly, Tang Jingcheng was frightened, and the little "change" that he had finally made just now was gone.

What a self-righteous man!

"Mr. Su is really joking, I just want to say can you go around my studio and bend?"

Su Jue turned his face to look at her and slowed down: "Miss Tang wants to go back to the studio?" ”

"Get something!"

When Su Jue went to get the bottle of water hibiscus before, he had already been to Tang Jingcheng's studio, and he was familiar with the road, and soon the car arrived at the door of the studio.

Tang got out of the car.

"Please wait for me at the door, I'll come when I go." After saying that, he opened the door and ran in.

Su Jue sat in the car, looking at the door of Tang Jingcheng's studio, which was an old private house, which she rented as a whole and cleaned up into a jade carving studio, with a very small plaque hanging on the wall at the door, and the word "Tang" was engraved in Lishu font.

"Alright, let's go." Unknowingly, Tang Jingcheng had already gotten into the car.

Su Jue didn't ask her what she took.

The car went around the city for about ten minutes, and finally turned into an alley.

Tang Jingcheng was a little suspicious, there will be a restaurant in this ghost place, and when he was about to ask, Su Jue's mobile phone rang. Yashuang Taiba.

"Brother Su, haven't you picked up your sister yet?" Even from a distance of half a meter, Tang Jingcheng could still hear Yao Xiaotang's soft voice coming from his mobile phone.

Su Jue, who was paralyzed on the road, actually smiled: "I've already entered the alley, and there are still a few minutes." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the door."

After hanging up the phone, the car made two more turns in the alley, and finally stopped next to an old wall at the end of the alley.

"Get out of the car!" Su Jue personally went over and opened the door for Tang Jingcheng.

"Arrived?"

"It's here!"

Tang Jingcheng was really strange, there was an inconspicuous courtyard in front of him, the door of the courtyard was open, and the paint was broken.

It's like a place to eat.

"Sister, Brother Su!"

As soon as Tang Jingcheng got out of the car, he saw Yao Xiaotang running out of the yard, and first went up to grab Su Jue's arm and complained coquettishly, such as why he didn't get to Yunyun until now, and then turned to Tang Jingcheng.

Tang Jingcheng just wanted to say hello, she directly took her arm: "Let's go, sister, let's eat first, I'm hungry." ”

As a result, Yao Xiaotang stood in the middle, pestering Su Jue while holding Tang Jingcheng's arm into the courtyard.

The courtyard looks inconspicuous from the outside, but when you go in, you can realize that there is a cave, a few scattered tiled houses, blue bricks and white walls, lintels and window ridges are painted with vermilion paint.

What Tang Jingcheng likes the most is the ginkgo trees in the yard, which look older than the ones in her studio.

"Sister, how is this place?"

"Yes, eating?"

"Well, eating Yunnan private dishes, only three tables a day are accepted, one table and one room, see it, we are in that room today!" Yao Xiaotang pointed to a room diagonally opposite, and said, "But this is not just a meal, that room is a tea room, and next to it is a study, oh yes, this place is Brother Su's favorite restaurant." Yao Xiaotang introduced enthusiastically, and when he was finished, he didn't forget to look at Su Jue shyly, and added, "Of course, I like it here too." ”

“……”

“……”

Tang Jingcheng's scalp was cold, and he always felt that his more than 1,000-watt light bulb was too bright.

"Go in, go in, I'm starving!" Yao Xiaotang pulled Tang Jingcheng again.

The three of them entered the house, and sure enough, there was a table and a room, and there were all kinds of oil paintings hanging on the wall, and the artistic atmosphere was very strong, and it felt a little bad to use this place for eating.

"Sister, sit!" Yao Xiaotang first pulled Su Jue to sit next to him, and then pointed to the chair opposite.

Tang Jingcheng sat down, and the three of them were in a triangular posture, and she always felt that this posture was a little awkward.

"Miss Yao..."

"Call me Tangtang."

"Okay, Tangtang." Tang Jingcheng could only be obedient, this girl was really overzealous, "I was at the hotel with Mr. Su that day, I know that you may have misunderstood, so I think it is necessary to explain to you face to face." ”

"No, I'm not angry." Yao Xiaotang interrupted Tang Jingcheng's opening remarks, and his face was pressed to Su Jue's arm next to him, "Brother Su has explained it to me, I believe him, so I don't get angry, not to mention that we are about to get married, I won't rest assured about this." ”

“……”

Tang Jingcheng didn't expect the opening remarks to go so smoothly, she glanced at Su Jue opposite, Su Jue also happened to look at her, her face was handsome, "Actually, I asked Tang Tang and you to come out today, just to have a meal with you, on the one hand, I apologize for Aunt Tang Tang beating you, and on the other hand, thank you for selling me the bottle of water hibiscus." ”

Speaking of this, Su Jue held Yao Xiaotang's hand and smiled, with a gloomy look in his eyes: "To be honest, if it weren't for that bottle of water hibiscus, Tang Tang might not have agreed to my marriage proposal so quickly." ”

“……”

The two of them looked at the affection in front of them, and even if Tang Jingcheng still had grievances about the water hibiscus in his heart, he couldn't say anything.

"Let's just think that I have no fate with that bottle of jade."

"Then thank you, sister." Yao Xiaotang answered the phone with a smile, and suddenly the conversation changed, "Sister, my engagement date with Brother Su has been set, and I will invite you next month." ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Tang Jingcheng didn't coax her with this, she was really willing to go, if the bottle of water hibiscus could achieve a marriage, even if it wasn't her and Qiu Qiguan, it would be the same if it was someone else, not to mention that she also liked Yao Xiaotang very much.

"By the way, since you're getting engaged next month, my sister just has something for you." Tang Jingcheng took out a square box from his pocket.

"What?" Yao Xiaotang took it and opened it, and in the box was a red gold diamond-encrusted brooch, with a butterfly-shaped jade in the middle, carved lifelikely.

"Wow... It's so beautiful, it's really for me? ”

"Well, what I gave you was my sister's engagement to you."

"Is that your own hand-carved sister?"

Tang Jingcheng nodded, and now Yao Xiaotang was even happier: "Brother Su, help me put it on and take a look." ”

In such a hurry, Su Jue relied on her and helped her pin the butterfly brooch to her chest clothes.

"Brother Su, is it good-looking?"

"Beautiful!"

Yao Xiaotang happily took out a small mirror and looked at it twice, and seemed to be more and more satisfied, and immediately said: "Brother Su, I will wear a cheongsam on the night of the engagement banquet, and I will wear this brooch given by my sister when the time comes." ”

Su Jue also leaned on her: "Okay." ”

Tang Jingcheng couldn't help but wonder, feeling that this paralyzed man was very gentle and considerate in front of Yao Xiaotang, as if he was a completely different person.

Maybe it's really one thing down one thing.

The originally abrupt dinner became less embarrassing because of Yao Xiaotang's coolness and innocence, and soon the dishes were on the table, five or six very simple things, which were quite chic.

It's just that Tang Jingcheng has no illusions about Yunnan cuisine, and remembers that when she went to Tengchong for the first time, Guan Luo invited her to eat a local authentic Yunnan restaurant, but in the end she still went to buy a pack of soda biscuits to wrap her stomach.

She didn't plan to eat well this time, but she didn't expect that the Yunnan cuisine in that private restaurant was surprisingly suitable for her taste, especially one of the pumpkin tofu, which was sweet and tender, and it was refreshing.

It's a pity that the amount is too small, Yao Xiaotang also seems to love to eat, Tang Jingcheng can't grab it from her, and he doesn't touch it anymore after eating a few spoonfuls.

Soon a guest of pumpkin tofu was eaten by Yao Xiaotang, and Su Jue handed her a tissue with a smile: "Have you eaten enough?" Do you want to add another one? ”

Yao Xiaotang immediately nodded: "Okay, but Brother Su, why are you so good today?" Didn't you always control my sweet tooth for dinner? ”

Su Jue raised his head and glanced at Tang Jingcheng: "Indulge you once in a while, I'll ask the waiter to add a copy!" ”

Su Jue got up, Tang Jingcheng sat on the chair and was stunned, always feeling that Su Jue's glance just now was particularly soft.

As soon as Su Jue left, Yao Xiaotang began to chatter non-stop, and Tang Jingcheng was not a person who talked much, and was occasionally perfunctory.

"Sister, what do you think of the food here?"

"It's okay."

"Don't you like it?"

"I like it."

"Oh." Yao Xiaotang began to hold his face with his hands and shook without speaking, and after shaking for a while, he leaned over and said, "Sister, I'll tell you a secret." ”

"What?"

"Actually, I don't really like the taste of this restaurant."

"......" Tang Jingcheng felt that the girl was a little uncertain, "Didn't you just say that you like it here in the courtyard?" ”

"Hey...... That's because Brother Su likes it here, and I said that. ”

“……”

"Sister, let me tell you, I will hate the things that Brother Su hates, and I will also like the things that Brother Su likes."

Tang Jingcheng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

It's rare to have a pure girl like Yao Xiaotang in this world, she regards her feelings for Su Jue as a belief, hatred of evil, love of joy, regardless of the reason, regardless of the return, and she is still complacent.

This kind of love may seem silly, but it is also dripping and hearty.

"Tang Tang, you will be a very qualified Mrs. Su."

"Really?" Yao Xiaotang was overjoyed.

Tang Jingcheng bent his eyes: "Really." ”

"Thank you, I'm going to tell Brother Su this sentence, and I'll just say that it's your sister." When Yao Xiaotang was excited, Su Jue had already walked in from outside the house.

"What are you talking about so happy?"

"Brother Su..."Yao Xiaotang immediately wrapped up affectionately, "Sister said that I will be a very qualified Mrs. Su in the future..."

The corners of Su Jue's mouth, which was still a little smiling, drooped, held Yao Xiaotang's hand, and faced Tang Jingcheng: "Thank you, I also believe that it will be like this!" ”

Tang Jingcheng smiled more sincerely.

If Su Jue has always been inferior to a beast in her mind, at least at this moment, when the man in front of her firmly held Yao Xiaotang's hand and said firmly, "I also believe that it will be like this", Tang Jingcheng believed that he really loved her.

……

After dinner, Su Jue sent Yao Xiaotang home first, the little girl seemed to have a good meal, and before getting out of the car, Xie Tang gave her a butterfly brooch.

Su Jue sent her into Yao's house, and a few minutes later he came out of it and saw Tang Jingcheng wrapped in a shawl leaning on the front cover of the car and smoking.

"I'm sorry, I just saw a cigarette in your car, so I took one without permission." Tang Jingcheng flicked his fingers.

Su Jue didn't seem to care, and only said, "Smoke less." ”

"Got it, I'll whip you." Tang Jingcheng smiled falsely, his eyes floating in the mist, and suddenly asked again, "Isn't Mr. Su a smoker, why is there one in the car?" ”

Su Jue lowered his eyes: "Maybe someone fell in my car last time." ”

“……”

On the way back, Su Jue was still silent, until he was about to turn into the intersection of Guanzhai Road, and he gradually slowed down.

"How's the shoulder injury?"

"Huh? Oh... Not bad. ”

"Does the wound still hurt?"

"Occasionally, it's a little bit." Tang Jingcheng looked out the window, thinking, for example, when she slept last night, he used too much force, and she would feel a little pain when she crashed into it.

Su Jue felt that there was something subtle wrong with the expression on Tang Jingcheng's face, and a gloomy look rose in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" He was overly observant.

Tang Jingcheng realized that he was thinking too much, and immediately smiled and shook his face: "It's nothing, I'm almost there, thank you and Miss Yao for your hospitality today." ”

Su Jue finally smiled, and smiled at Tang Jingcheng for the only time along the way.

"Tang Tang likes you very much."

"I like her very much, she is a good girl, Mr. Su should cherish it."

The smile on Su Jue's face was put away again, and the car stopped.

"I know she's a good girl, and I'll cherish it." When he said this, his eyes looked at Tang Jingcheng directly, so that Tang Jingcheng was a little flustered by his eyes.

"That's... I got off first, thanks. She opened the door and prepared to go down, feeling the urgency in the man's eyes when he looked at her.

It's just that Tang Jingcheng's feet just stepped out of the car, and as soon as he looked up, Guan Luo stood in the wind not far away with a piece of clothing......
