Chapter 108: Listen to the Rain
The silence in the room was a little terrifying, the dome clouds drifted by, obscuring the faint dome wall, the light in the room was slightly dim, the atmosphere was even more solemn, Nicole's face was buried in the shadows, a little obscure.
"That's it, Dad......" It seemed to take a long time for Nicole's voice to come, "This is also something that can't be helped, he chose to go that way, and he has already predicted his destiny, even if it is not you, there will be someone else ......"
Nicole tried her best to make her voice appear calmer, but everyone present heard a trace of suppressed choking, everyone was in a heavy mood, Song Rui clenched his fists, "If you want revenge......"
"No......" Nicole shook her head, "I can't beat you either, can I?" β
"Yes." Song Rui nodded.
Tao Ran next to him was black, "You're a fart!" Won't you say something else at this time?! She wanted to pinch the skeleton shelf, but after sweeping up and down, she found that she couldn't find a place to start, and if she had to do it, she would only hurt her own hand, which was very embarrassing!
"Can you give me time to think about that thing you said?" Nicole raised her head and smiled for the first time, but this smile was more distressing than expressionless, "If you don't dislike it, stay at my house today!" β
"Excuse me." Song Rui bent down towards Nicole and replied.
"Song Rui, come out with me!" Tao Ran couldn't help but hook Song Rui's collar and dragged him out of the yard.
"WhewβI'm so tired!" Song Rui sat under the koji tree, took a deep breath, looked up at Tao Ran, and patted the position next to him, "Ran Ran, come and sit." β
"I said you...... Sometimes it's terrifying! Tao Ran sat next to Song Rui, "If you say something that you and the people who hear it feel uncomfortable, won't you find a more euphemistic way?" β
"What do you say?" Song Rui lay on his back on the ground, looking at the clouds in the dome through the thick and light green koji leaves, although there is no day and night in this dome, but there are clouds and wind, rain and snow, and the climate and environment are no different from the outside world.
"This ......" Tao Ran puffed out his cheeks, and was speechless for a while.
"No matter how you phrase it, there is only one result to say it, sometimes too much hesitation will make the other party more uncomfortable, it's better to simply say it directly." Song Rui said.
"So you thought about it carefully, I thought you didn't think about it that much." Tao Ran was a little surprised.
"How can I think about this kind of thing, although I don't have a heart, but it doesn't mean that I won't consider the feelings of others!"
"I didn't mean that......" Tao Ran also lay down on her back, her voice was a little muffled, "Nicole, it's uncomfortable, isn't it?" β
Song Rui touched the top of Tao Ran's hair and was speechless for a while.
Although Nicole was in a somewhat complicated mood, she still entertained them as much as possible, and the dinner (calculated according to the time of Song Rui and others) was very sumptuous, but most of it was wine-related dishes, and it seemed that Nicole was a powerful winemaker.
The atmosphere at the table is a little weird, of course, it's not Nicole's cooking problem, this food is quite delicious, even though everyone's mood is a little heavy, this meal still makes them feel like enjoyment, Nicole's cooking strength can be seen.
The main meal is a dish unique to the island, and of course there is a lot of seafood, and I wonder how the people on this island overcome the water pressure to catch deep-sea ingredients.
Abel's favorite dish is slow-cooked white wine beef, if you don't care about the image problem, you want to lick the plate when you look at his expression, but this dish is really very fragrant, the beef is cut into large pieces, marinated in white wine in advance, fried first and then stewed, the strong aroma of the wine and the meat aroma of the beef are completely locked in the beef, take a bite, the fragrant taste overflows the mouth, the fragrant and soft without losing the chewiness of the beef, the texture and taste are full marks!
Carly often eats at Nicole's house, and this time is no exception. Her favorite is fried chicken wings in red wine, and children seem to have no resistance to foods like chicken wings and potatoes. Nicole peeled off the chicken wings and tore them into strips and placed them in a small bowl to make it easier for Carly to eat.
There is also a kind of deep-sea white shrimp, which is said to be white shrimp, but the shell of this shrimp is not white, but dark black, and the shell is quite hard and dense, so that it can be concealed and withstand the water pressure of the deep sea.
The reason why this shrimp is called white shrimp is because the shrimp meat that has been shelled is as white as jade, without the slightest flaw, and this deep-sea white shrimp is a special cooking ingredient, if you do not peel it from the gap according to a certain law when peeling the shell, the shrimp meat will immediately become dark black and sour and difficult to eat.
Naturally, this is not the case with the deep-sea white shrimp handled by Nicole, the shrimp meat is white and tender, and the green beans are placed on a dark plate, which looks full of appetite. Its meat is delicious, full in taste, soft and smooth, with a long aftertaste, and at the same time there is a hint of wine aroma, which is extremely delicious.
Of course, there must be wine on the table, and what Nicole brought out was fruit wine, which was the most widely accepted, and little Carly could also drink it, with a very low degree, a very light taste, and a fruity aroma.
Nicole didn't make a decision about leaving Anna Island, and Song Rui and the others naturally didn't rush it, her expression was no different from that in the afternoon, she was still faint and didn't care about anything.
The clouds above the dome gathered more and more, and finally a light rain began to fall, and the inside of the dome was not as bright as before, and the air became cool, moist and moist.
Although Nicole's small courtyard is not large, there is a front yard and a back yard, and the front and back yards are full of plants, and the layout is reasonable, and the crackling raindrops hit all kinds of plants after the rain, like playing a symphony.
Tao Ran and the others chatted softly in the room, mixed with the bickering of Abel and Carly from time to time, which was quite quiet and indifferent. Song Rui listened to the sound of the rain and the sound of talking, and he could somewhat understand the artistic conception of leaning on the building and listening to the night rain.
He squatted under the eaves of the backyard, his fingers unconsciously drawing circles on the watery bluestone slabs, looking at the figure wearing a hat and busy among the yard plants, a little wanted to talk, but he didn't know how to speak.
Nicole naturally knew that Song Rui was squatting under the eaves and looking at this, the presence of that skeleton shelf was not too strong, she had a somewhat complicated feeling about Song Rui, maybe she should hate him? But the strange thing is that I don't actually have much anger and hatred in my heart, about the time my father left, I expected this day to come, and I was lucky to be able to learn the news at the first time. Otherwise, it is very likely that his father's bones are gone, and he still doesn't know anything.
And Song Rui and others did not hesitate to take risks, going deep into the bottom of the sea to tell themselves the news and fulfill their promises, and Nicole's heart was not untouched. So is it gratitude? But it's not like it, she can't figure out her emotions now.
