Chapter 55: Good Morning
Chen Pengwei's schedule has not been adjusted from the work of the past few days, and he woke up early before six o'clock in the morning, looking at the quiet house next door, thinking that the girl had not gotten up yet. I went out for a run, drove to buy breakfast, and then sat and waited in the house with some impetuousness.
It wasn't until half past eight that I heard the sound of the balcony door opening in the backyard next door. Immediately after, soothing music sounded, and he knew that Qingqing's habits had not changed at all over the years. He silently counted the time in his heart, and when he came out of the backyard door with breakfast, Shui Lanqing really practiced the movement of his lower waist.
Chen Pengwei's slender and slender waist, which he could imagine with his eyes closed, was hidden under the wide plain white practice uniform. The sunlight had just hit his arched waist, and Chen Pengwei only felt a golden light. It seems to be back to when he was a child, at that time, he liked to watch Qingqing dance the most, when she danced the ancient dance, he felt that she was a bird jumping and agile among the branches, which made people feel happy when they saw it, but he preferred to watch her practice the boring basic skills, and only felt that her every move, quiet and beautiful as if with Zen, could always calm his restless youth at that time.
He closed his eyes, and the thought of her 16-year-old slightly thin waist, soft but tough, for the first time he thoroughly understood the meaning of the word "not a hand". At that time, whether he was going out or at home, he liked to put his arm around her waist. Over the years, for this, he has never touched the waist of another woman. When she opened her eyes, she didn't know if her waist was still as thin as when she was a child, Chen Pengwei thought, only feeling hot in his heart.
Carrying the breakfast, slowly walking onto the deck where she practiced, Shui Lanqing looked back and saw him Shi Shiran leaning on the fence of the deck, slightly stunned, and bowed his head for a moment, but did not speak, and continued to focus on her basic skills.
I still remember that when she was a child, her master didn't allow her to speak, and he always liked to sit on the wall of her house and tease her. At that time, she lacked concentration, and she always let herself forget her master's explanation, and the basic function of an hour made her procrastinate and practice for two hours. Now, after all, he has grown up, and he doesn't seem to be able to do the same things as he did when he was a child.
Pinching the time, Chen Pengwei carried the early advance into the house, the door of the balcony was closed, the two of them were facing each other one mile and one away, he took out the breakfast box, put it on the dining table the same, intermittently, looked up at the people outside the house. Suddenly, I thought that the two had been living like this for more than ten years.
Watching her finish the last set of movements, Tingting stood in the sunlight and breathed slowly, Chen Pengwei bypassed the table and opened the back door, beckoning to her, "Come in and have breakfast after practicing." Like an old husband and wife, the tone is natural and casual.
"When did you get up? Is this a breakfast that went out to buy? Following Chen Pengwei into the house, seeing the eight-treasure porridge on the table, Shui Lanqing's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Seeing Shui Lanqing wash her hands and sit back at the table, Chen Pengwei handed over the chopsticks and spoons, "There is a century-old shop near here, which only makes breakfast and does not deliver food, so you can only go to the store to buy it yourself." You can try it, and if you like, I will get up early one day and take you to their store to eat. Some things, when packed, will taste bad. Seeing Shui Lanqing open the white sugar jar and want to add white sugar to the eight-treasure porridge, Chen Pengwei's eyes darkened, "I have already added it, you can taste it, if it is not enough, add it." ”
Listening to Chen Pengwei's words, Shui Lanqing's hand holding the small spoon was stunned, her eyelashes blinked a few times, and she resisted the urge to look up at him, closed the lid again, picked up the spoon in the porridge bowl and tasted it gently. The long eyelashes hung low and covered the eyelids, so that Chen Pengwei on the opposite side couldn't see the body in his eyes clearly.
Is it another coincidence? likes to drink sweetened eight-treasure porridge, which is something that even Mu Yi doesn't know. If Chen Pengwei didn't know himself, how could he be so sure that he would like to eat. If it were someone else, I am afraid that they would only prepare white sugar, but they would not add it so privately. Moreover, the portion is just right, like, last night's glass of honey water.
Chen Pengwei looked at the girl opposite who just lowered her head and drank porridge but didn't speak, and suddenly felt a little uncertain in her heart. The breakfast shop was there when they were younger, and his family lived in the neighborhood at the time, and their whole family was a regular customer there. Shui Lanqing's master didn't have the habit of eating breakfast, and he didn't have a meal with him.
When he accidentally learned about it, he was dissatisfied with her master for a while, and took her breakfast from then on. Most of the time, he got up early to send her to school by himself, and if there was something he couldn't deliver, he would ask someone to send her to school.
He had changed her breakfast many times at that time, but she was the only one who missed this house, and she could always eat it in one bite. After so many years, Chen Pengwei doesn't know if she can still eat breakfast in this store.
"Are you still used to eating?"
Shui Lanqing swallowed the side dish in her mouth, looked up at Chen Pengwei seriously, and nodded slowly, "It's delicious." Why don't you move? ”
When Chen Pengwei heard her say this, he stretched out his chopsticks and took a small piece of baked cake, watched her take back a soup bag, put it in the small plate next to her, and took a small bite gently.
Others eat soup dumplings by taking a small bite on the thin skin next to them, sipping the soup inside, and eating it slowly. Bishui Lanqing's habit is different from others, but she likes to eat the layer of wrinkled skin at the top of the soup dumpling that is not too thick first, and then bite it to the side little by little.
Chen Pengwei looked at her unusual habit and let out a long sigh of relief on the other side. As long as she doesn't change these habits, he can always raise her back. Even those forgotten habits, he can also help her pick them up little by little.
For breakfast, the two of them each thought about their own thoughts and ate quite quietly. After eating, Chen Pengwei took the initiative to take the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, looking at Shui Lanqing swaying beside him with some embarrassment, he said with some amusement, "Okay, next time you can brush it, hurry upstairs to change clothes, go out early in a while, there are many things to do today." ”
Shui Lanqing looked at him a little strangely, and she couldn't figure out what else was going on besides applying for an ID card.
"You're not going to Muyun's school?"
Looking at Shui Lanqing's sudden realization, Chen Pengwei shook his head funny, "After going to school, I have to go to the supermarket." ”
"What are you doing at the supermarket?"
Chen Pengwei sighed completely this time, "I see, your kitchen is empty, there is nothing." ”
"Oh, I didn't want to add anything, but when my passport came down, I would go back to the United States. I can't eat too much stuff. Xiao Yi said that domestic food delivery is very convenient. ”
After finishing the sentence, I saw Chen Pengwei raise his eyes and look at her a little viciously. It made Shui Lanqing feel that she had said something wrong. He lowered his head and sent the plate to the faucet to rinse before slowly replying, "If your passport doesn't come down for two months, are you going to call it outside for two months?" And, can your appetite stand the food safety in the country? ”
Although the voice was still the same voice, Shui Lanqing somehow heard a sense of gloom and compassion from inside. Those who know the times are Junjie, not to mention people like Shui Lanqing, who don't have too many requirements in life, nodded and said, "Oh, let's go for a trip." With that, he turned around and went upstairs.
Chen Pengwei squinted his eyes at Shi Shiran's figure walking upstairs, and sighed, this girl has been out for so many years, and her temperament is still so soft, although he likes it, but sometimes it really makes him feel like a punch on the cotton, and he can't do it. It seems that there is an instinct of small animals to seek advantages and avoid harm, and they can always be obedient before they provoke him. He couldn't do anything if he wanted to clean her up.
It's just that, remembering the passport he pressed in the office drawer, hmph, she didn't want to get her hands on it.
Shui Lanqing walked back to the room step by step, sat on the bed and listened to the sound of the "whooshing" water downstairs, touched the jade plate on her chest, and was in a trance. Obviously, the two people who were not familiar with each other before yesterday took a ride and seemed to have pierced the layer of window paper between the two. That familiar feeling seems to come out naturally without going through my own brain. That kind of familiarity and tacit understanding is something that he and Mu Yi have not achieved in the past ten years. Even if she wanted to distance herself, her inadvertent move made her forget the distance between the two.
Looking at the word "Wei" on the jade plate, she could no longer deny the connection between the two. Just, how? Is it to be picky or to let it be?
Chen Pengwei cleaned up the kitchen, saw that Shui Lanqing had not come down yet, and looked upstairs, but there was no sound in her room.
"Qingqing ······"
With a soft call, Shui Lanqing suddenly came back from her thoughts, "It's okay, you wait a minute." I didn't think about what Chen Pengwei had just called, so I hurriedly stood up. It was a little violent, there was a burst of white light in front of him, and he didn't know what he was kicking under his feet, and there was a "bang".
"Qingqing." Chen Pengwei listened to the movement downstairs, startled, stepped up the stairs in three or two steps, slammed the door, and locked it from the inside, "Qingqing, what's wrong?" Open the door. ”
Shui Lanqing stood for a long time before returning to normal, listening to Chen Pengwei's anxious voice outside the door, "It's okay, I accidentally kicked something." I'm going to change my clothes now. You wait a minute. The tone was a little weak, and Chen Pengwei frowned as he listened outside the door.
I changed into a dress with light green ruffles and large folds, my hair was combed high and tied to the top in a ponytail, and I took the small bag I was carrying. When he opened the door, Chen Pengwei leaned against the wall next to the door, and saw her come out, his eagle-like eyes carefully scanned her cheeks, not powdered, slightly pale, but almost the same as before. The lips may feel that the color is too light, and I put on a light layer of lipstick, which looks much brighter than when eating.
