Chapter 252: Warmth
Lu Zizhen didn't know if he remembered the events of the night, so he got up early the next day and left before Jolosi woke up.
Jolosi unexpectedly fell asleep and woke up to her alone in the small room. Almost immediately, she thought of last night's incident, her face flushed slightly, and she reached out to rub her face, and then jumped up.
She had nothing to do when she was home alone, so she cleaned the house and washed the clothes that Lu Zizhen had changed. I didn't eat at home at noon, and went to the noodle restaurant at the end of the alley to eat a bowl of braised beef. She was originally going to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, but after walking for a while, she didn't know what she thought of, and then went back to the rental house.
When Lu Ziqi came back in the evening, it was still early, but it was only past six o'clock. Jolosi sat at the door early and waited, and when he saw him come back, he immediately jumped up and said with a smile: "I didn't cook." Shall we go out to eat tonight? ”
Ever since she came here, she has eaten here. The two of them had never gone out to eat.
Lu Zizhen glanced at her, she was a little different today. But he couldn't tell what was different. He didn't have an opinion, so he said yes and said to change his clothes first.
He changed his clothes and Jolosi didn't go in with him, just waited outside. Lu Ziqi quickly came out, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”
Jolosi tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "You can eat anything, you decide." After a pause, she immediately added, "Just eat whatever you want." ”
Lu Ziyun's brows furrowed slightly, but he still didn't say anything, and took her outside.
He was no different from usual, as if nothing had happened last night. Jolosi couldn't help but feel a little stupid. Lu Ziqi walked forward, and she followed not far behind.
Lu Ziqi didn't take her to the food stall again this time, and only when she walked to the alley did she ask, "How about eating Cantonese food?" ”
This is not a coastal area, and the locals have a strong taste. There are not many Cantonese restaurants, and of course, the prices are naturally more expensive than ordinary small restaurants.
At this time, Jolosi was stunned, her original intention was indeed to just want to eat casually. When he came back to his senses, he said, "No, just eat a little bit." ”
Lu Ziqi didn't speak, and led her into a small alley.
He didn't mention what to eat, and Jolosi couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he took a step forward, fed him, and said, "Don't be so expensive, just eat a little on the side of the road." ”
Lu Ziqi glanced back at her at this time, and said with a smile: "What, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay?" ”
He is quite frugal, and even the cigarettes he smokes are the cheapest in the local area.
Where did Jolosi think that he would say such a sentence, and quickly said: "No, of course"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Zizhen, and he said slowly: "That's it." Even if you can't afford to pay, aren't you in charge? ”
He was a bit joking when he said this, it turned out that he was teasing her just now. Jolosi breathed a sigh of relief and cut off.
After such an incident, the atmosphere between the two was much lighter. She also stepped forward to walk side by side with him. She didn't know where Lu Ziqi was from, his Mandarin was very standard, and she couldn't hear the accent at all. Now I heard him say that he wants to eat Cantonese food. He asked curiously, "Do you like Cantonese food?" ”
Lu Ziqi glanced sideways at her and said, "It's okay." ”
He doesn't pay so much attention to eating. It is his aunt who likes to eat Cantonese food, and she also makes good dishes and dim sum.
In the past, he rarely thought about these things, but now, whenever it comes to something related to the past, he immediately remembers it.
Thinking of the past, she was slightly distracted. Immediately came back to his senses, the only Cantonese restaurant here was in front of him, and he walked in with Jolosi.
The business of this shop is very good, and it is not a meal at this time. The lobby downstairs was already full.
The waiter came up and asked if they needed to wait for a table or go to the private room upstairs, and Jolosi pulled Lu Ziqi's sleeve and wanted him not to eat. Who knew that Lu Zizheng asked the waiter to take them to the private room.
In the past, she didn't feel anything about this kind of thing, but now she feels very distressed like cutting meat. I was afraid that I would hurt Lu Ziji's self-esteem by saying too much, so I had to swallow all my words back.
The waiter quickly took the two of them to the private room upstairs, saw the menu for the two of them, and then went to prepare tea.
Lu Ziqi probably knew what Qiao Luosi was thinking, and said lazily while flipping through the menu: "Don't be bitter, I can afford to invite you to a meal." It's not going to put you here. ”
As he spoke, he handed the menu to Jolosi, raised his chin, and said, "Order it yourself." After this village, there is no such shop. ”
Jolosi was a little uncomfortable when he saw through his thoughts, took the menu, and then generously ordered two dishes and a snack.
The order was quite cold, Lu Zizhen glanced at her, picked up the menu, and added several dishes and snacks.
Jolosi said that it was enough, so he stopped and said slowly: "Can't you still pack it if you can't finish eating?" ”
He tapped his fingers on the table, and asked the waiter what his local signature dim sum was, and served one for each.
He made Jolosi's heart tremble. Knowing that this meal was worth a week's living expenses for the two of them, I couldn't help but feel a little painful. I regret that I shouldn't have offered to go out to dinner.
Lu Ziqi himself was unaware, poured the tea, and pushed a cup in front of Qiao Luosi.
There are a lot of people here, and the food is not served quickly. Often, it is a snack or dish, and another dish is delivered after a good while.
Jolosi is quite interested in desserts, although this shop looks unremarkable. But the dim sum is quite authentic. She ate a lot.
Compared to her, Lu Ziqi didn't eat much. She couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Isn't it delicious?" ”
Lu Zizhen said that it was okay, let her eat, lit a cigarette and smoked.
When the porridge was served, he filled a bowl of it for Jolosi and pushed it in front of her.
He doesn't eat much dessert, but he still loves porridge. After smoking a cigarette, he began to eat porridge. The two of them couldn't finish the dishes and snacks he ordered, and they came to the back. Jolosi asked the waiter to bring the packed lunch box over, and filled half of the uneaten snacks to pack.
She was smiling, probably afraid that Lu Zizhen would think too much, and said, "Anyway, I can't finish eating, take it back and make a supper later." ”
Lu Ziqi didn't say anything, motioned for her to eat, and gave him the lunch box to pack. Jolosi didn't argue with him, and gave him the bento box. I buried my head in eating.
The meal was quite harmonious, and Jolosi was afraid of wasting it, so he ate all the snacks. When I go out, my stomach is round.
Lu Zizhen always felt that she was a little different today, and when she looked back at her after settling the account, she realized that her lips were red and bright today. I don't know if it's lipstick, it's as tempting as a ripe fruit.
He quickly withdrew his gaze and said to Jolosi, "Let's go." ”
The alley was much more lively than when they came, and the shop next door sold unknown drinks. The line was long.
Lu Ziqi looked at it, then turned his head sideways to look at Qiao Luosi and asked, "Do you want to drink something?" ”
Jolosi shook his head, touched his belly, which was much bigger than usual, and said, "No, it's already full." I was so full that I couldn't walk. ”
She burped as she spoke. She was uncomfortable and quickly rubbed her chest.
But the hiccups didn't stop, and Lu Ziqi asked her to wait. I went to the convenience store next to it and bought her a bottle of water and handed it to her.
Jolosi said thank you, but the hiccups still didn't get better after drinking the water. She was uncomfortable at first, but then she let it go, taking small sips of water.
After eating, the two of them were not in a hurry to go back, so they walked slowly. Seeing that there was a place to sit on the side of the road, Lu Ziqi asked her to sit down.
Jolosi ate too much, but he was not polite. After sitting down, I gently stroked my stomach.
Lu Ziqi didn't look at her, lit a cigarette and smoked. There were three couples holding hands walking by. Lu Ziji's appearance was quite attractive, and the eyes of the passers-by fell on him and Qiao Luosi.
He didn't like people looking at him. If anyone dares to look at him so unscrupulously while along the river, he will be able to break people's legs. At this time, he was used to it, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.
Jolosi didn't notice those gazes, and after rubbing his chest for a while, he stopped burping and then breathed a sigh of relief. Screwed up the cap of the bottle in his hand.
She was looking for something to say, but she couldn't find it for a while. looked at Lu Ziqi and asked without words, "Have you eaten enough?" ”
He didn't eat as much as he usually did today.
Lu Ziqi glanced sideways at her, his gaze slid to her round belly, and said with a smile: "If you are full, you have to eat like you, you should be considered not full." ”
He was too lazy to relax, and his tone was a little lazy. The lines on that handsome face softened a lot.
Jolosi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he stopped talking.
Lu Ziyun finished smoking a cigarette, then stood up and said, "Let's go." ”
The two of them had a hard time coming out, and Jolosi had to eat, so he let him go to the night market. Lu Ziqi looked at the time. Nodding.
There are many more people on the night market than here, and you can only see the crowds from afar. Qiao Luosi reached out and grabbed the corner of Lu Ziji's clothes.
She was very excited, looking at this for a while, looking at that for a while. Lu Zizhen also let her go around, and occasionally when someone squeezed over, he stretched out his hand to separate people without a trace.
Jolosi spends most of his time watching, and almost doesn't buy anything. After walking around, my stomach is not so full, and I see that the time is not early. That's when she let her go back.
Lu Zizhen didn't know what he was thinking, and he seemed to be careless all the way. Jolosi didn't say a word, as if he had gone back to the beginning.
Walking back to the alley, all the hustle and bustle was gone, and Jolosi didn't know what was wrong with him, and asked tentatively, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Lu Zizhen didn't say much, glanced at her sideways with a cigarette in his mouth, and said, "You seem to be quite used to it here." ”
Jolosi didn't expect him to bring up this topic, and was slightly stunned. Then he muttered, "I'm not used to anything." ”
Lu Ziqi didn't stare at this topic, looked at her again, and asked, "When do you plan to go home?" ”
She said she had nowhere to go, and he didn't believe it at all.
When it came to the topic of going home, Jolosi didn't say anything more. Lu Ziqi looked at her several times in a row, but she hung her head, and he didn't ask again.
When he was about to get to the rental house, Jolosi said softly, "I'll go out tomorrow to find my class." ”
She misunderstood what Lu Zizhen meant. Lu Zizhen glanced at her and didn't explain.
Back to the rental house. The two of them washed up and lay on the bed as usual, and neither of them spoke. The cold moonlight poured in through the window, and the room was very quiet.
Jolosi couldn't sleep, she was looking for something to say. But I couldn't find anything to say. She knew that Lu Ziqi was not asleep either, and after a while, she sniffed and asked, "Do you think I'm quite annoying?" ”
Although the two have lived together for so long. Lu Zizhen didn't tell her what her name was. Of course, he didn't ask her what her name was. Usually if he wants to call her, he always calls her a little stammer.
Because she had been stammering with him that day.
She had asked him what his name was, but he didn't. When she needed to call him, she fed him instead.
Lu Zizhen didn't answer, and he didn't even open his eyes.
Jolosi couldn't help but feel a little stupid, and now he couldn't sleep anymore and sat up. And he said, "I'm not called Little Stammer, I'm called Lotsy." ”
She subconsciously omitted her last name.
Lu Ziqi on the floor was lying flat, still with his eyes open, and said simply: "Sleep." ”
Jolosi was even more sullen now, and stopped talking. collapsed on the bed. Although she lay down, she still couldn't sleep, turning over and over like a pancake.
The bed was old, and she flipped it every time. The bed creaked. She did it on purpose.
After turning over for about half an hour, thinking that Lu Ziqi was asleep, she just didn't want to turn it over, so she heard the person lying on the ground say, "Are you taking revenge on me?" ”
She usually lies on the bed, but she doesn't dare to move.
At this time, Jolosi was silent, and after a while, he said slowly: "I'm asleep." ”
Lu Ziji, who was on the floor, said yes and stopped talking.
Jolosi remembered the kiss from last night, a little sullen. knew that Lu Zi Ming'er had to go to work. She couldn't sleep, but she didn't move anymore. Even the air was silent, and she suddenly remembered Lu Zizhen's words to ask her when she would go home.
She couldn't sleep now, her eyes were closed, but her mind was clear. It was a long time before she forced herself to sleep.
The one had only been out for a while, and his work had been extremely easy these days. It's still early to go back, but I didn't see Jolosi when I went back today.
Lu Ziji's brows furrowed slightly. Remembering what she said yesterday about going out to find her class, her brow furrowed a little more.
He looked at the time, but it was only three o'clock in the afternoon. In the past, most of the people who came back would just get something to eat and fall asleep, but today he washed his clothes and then went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
After doing all this, seeing that Jolosi had not returned, his brow furrowed even tighter. I don't know where she went, so I had to cook patiently and wait.
Jolosi came back to look for something more than he usually came back, and he didn't know what he had done, and he was sweating and greasy. The bangs fit on the forehead, and the whole person looks a little embarrassed.
When she came back, Lu Ziqi was at the door, she didn't expect him to come back so early, she couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
Lu Ziqi frowned and looked her up and down, and then asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Jolosi stood up and said, "Go to work." ”
Lu Zizhen was impatient, extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, and said, "What class do you go to?" ”
Jolosi looked down at the ground and said, "Run errands for people." ”
Part-time jobs are not easy to find. She went out today to see someone who was looking for a takeaway. It was sent to a building to the north. But it's all old houses, step houses, and her legs are almost numb when she goes upstairs today. When it's busy, it takes an average of a few minutes to go up and down the stairs.
Lu Zizhen glanced at her, and said a little angrily: "Who told you to go?" So saying, he went into the house, and said, "Don't go again." ”
Jolosi followed him into the house and said slowly, "I have to feed myself." ”
Lu Ziji's figure paused slightly, and glanced back at her with compassion. He asked, "Are you deliberately going against me?" ”
His face was cloudy, and his whole person was swishing. It's like going back to when we first met.
Jolosi didn't dare to speak now, and answered in a low voice.
Lu Ziji's forehead jumped a little hard, his tone softened slightly, and said, "Go take a bath." ”
The meal was already set on the table, and she made two dishes and one soup, the same as when she was at home.
Waiting for Jolosi to take a shower and sit down to eat, Lu Zizhen found that the skin on the back of her hands and elbows was broken. I don't know if it was rubbed or fell.
He glanced at her obliquely. Didn't say anything, though.
Jolosi walked up the stairs for a day and didn't make much money. But the amount of rice has increased a lot, and after adding two bowls of rice, I have added half a bowl. The dishes in the bowl were also swept clean by her, and she didn't forget to praise Lu Zizhen: "The dishes you make are really delicious." ”
Lu Zizhen glanced at her and didn't speak. Where is the food he cooks delicious, it is obvious that she is hungry today.
Her face was flushed, probably from the sun. Lu Zizhen was silent for a moment, and then said, "Don't go again tomorrow." ”
Jolosi looked up at him, her eyes crooked like crescent moons. Asked, "Do you raise me?" ”
Lu Ziqi glanced at her coldly and asked, "When did you starve you?" ”
But no, although there is no rich life. But there is food and clothing. He has always been very generous when he gave her living expenses, but she has been saving money.
His words avoided Jolosi's point, and Jolosi quietly pouted and said honestly, "I'm not hungry." ”
She knew that Lu Zizhen didn't talk much about his work, so she asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
"I'll be back if I'm fine." Lu Zizhen replied simply. As he spoke, he took out his wallet and pulled out the money, saying, "Buy whatever you want to eat." Buy more fruit and come back to eat. Good for the skin. ”
He also knows that eating more fruits is good for the skin, and it is really not easy.
Qiao Luosi laughed at this moment, looked at Lu Ziqi with crooked eyes, and asked, "Will you go buy it later?" ”
Fruits are cheaper at the night market.
Lu Zizhen didn't know about her thoughts, but when she wanted to go out for a walk, she sighed and went out to smoke.
Waiting for Jolosi to clean up, he looked back at her. I remembered the embarrassment she had when she came back just now. He asked, "Not tired?" ”
Jolosi smiled and said, "I'm not tired." ”
Lu Ziqi stopped talking now, but his steps were much slower. Just walked slowly all the way.
He knew that Jolosi was reluctant, so he took her directly to a nearby supermarket. Pick up snacks on hand.
Jolosi looked at the labels as he walked, and the more expensive ones were put back on the excuse that he didn't like to eat them.
Lu Ziqi looked at her and didn't speak for a while. It's always been difficult to live from luxury, and she's an exception. He didn't speak, he let her go.
After buying snacks, I went to buy fruit again. Lu Ziqi bought several kinds, all of which were selected by Qiao Luosi, and the amount of each was not much.
She asked Lu Ziqi what kind of fruit she liked to eat, and Lu Ziqi never cared about these, so she replied that she would eat them all.
When he went back, everything was carried by Lu Zizhi, and Jolosi followed behind him, taking this and that from time to time. The two of them are very eye-catching when they walk together, just like a little couple. Jolosi is quite lively, and when she is happy, she walks and jumps.
Lu Ziqi looked at her and couldn't help but think of it. She and Retort Ran are really completely different.
He was slightly distracted, and before he could come back to his senses, his mobile phone rang in his pocket. He was holding something in both hands, and Jolosi was about to take the phone out of his pocket for him.
The phone was in his trouser pocket, and he didn't let it. Moving the heavy object to the other hand, he handed a bag of snacks to Jolosi to carry.
Wait to figure out your phone and look at the number on it. His brow furrowed, but he picked it up right away and fed it.
I didn't know what to say on the other end of the phone, so he answered and hung up the phone quickly.
His brow was slightly furrowed, and as soon as he hung up the phone, Jolosi asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Ziqi put the phone back, quickened his pace, and said, "I have to go on a business tonight." "It was sudden, but he had to rush over it right away.
