Chapter 53: Arriving Home
"You just came back and didn't rest, so you tossed with me." Thinking of Chen Pengwei and Gu Wenhao, it seemed that they had just returned from the unit, and Shui Lanqing was even more upset.
"It's okay, I've not been busy lately. How did you want to rent this place? ”
"It's easy to order." Xu didn't need to look for a house for the time being, didn't need to concentrate, and relaxed, Shui Lanqing only felt that the whole person was tired. Beat the spirit, nest in the saddle.
"There are very few villas like this in the capital for rent, or they are very large, and we can't use them. Otherwise, it's the kind of apartment, and Mu Yi is not used to it. And Mu Yi's sister Mu Yun also came back with us, so the three of us lived, and the villa would be more convenient. ”
"Mu Yi's sister is back too?" Chen Pengwei was a little surprised, he really didn't know that Mu Yi's sister came back together. "And now? Went back to the United States with Mu Yi? ”
"No, the relationship between the two, well, it's more complicated, she is now in XX private high school in the capital."
Chen Pengwei was dumbfounded, that school is famous for its militarized management, and the fees are expensive, and there are basically some difficult children in it, how could Mu Yi send his sister there. It's just that this matter has nothing to do with him, he just went through it in his heart, and then it passed.
Turning her head to look at Shui Lanqing beside her, she looked tired and sleepy, and knew that she was tired. Thinking that she just had a cold, she didn't rest all day today, and she sat in the car for nearly three hours at night. Listening to the chat between Gu Wenhao and Du Yunyi, at this time in the past, Shui Lanqing had basically washed up and was ready to stretch before going to bed. Thinking about it, the car sped up slightly, and smoothly drove through the villas in the direction of her house.
"Let's go to my place to rest first, no, stay at my place for one night tonight, I have a lot of empty rooms, it's always easier to find them during the day, or wait for the property to work, check there."
Shui Lanqing shook her head and wanted to refuse, but first, her body was really a little unbearable, and second, it was really not a way to let Chen Pengwei accompany her to find it like this, she was not a person who liked to trouble others, and now she was even more unhappy.
"Be obedient, don't pay attention to that, go to my place to rest first, if you just want to find it, I'll find a way for you." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Shui Lanqing to agree, and drove the car skillfully on the dark path to turn left and right. Within five minutes, the car stopped in front of a small building.
Parking and turning off the engine, Chen Pengwei looked at the listless Shui Lanqing and frowned.
"Let's go, let's go down and rest first."
The car door was opened, and the two got out of the car. Chen Pengwei looked at the house next to him, thinking about how to remind the confused girl next to him that she was home.
Shui Lanqing got out of the car slowly, only to feel that her body and bones were not her own. I looked around at the houses around and it seemed to be a little different from the first phase. habitually turned his head to look at the villa next to Chen Pengwei, and was suddenly attracted by a pot of flowers at the door of the house.
Look, how is it so similar to the pot I bought?
"Eh, wait a minute." The sudden surprise made her not care about the fatigue, walked quickly to the house next door, carefully looked at the special shaped flower pot at the door, looked up, and sure enough, in the corner in front of the porch, she saw a string of violet wind chimes hanging on it.
"Oh, Pengwei Pengwei, come on, I've found my house." That familiar tone seems to have been said countless times. Just when she was happy, she naturally shouted out.
Chen Pengwei stood under the porch, heard the girl's subconscious shouting, and looked at her in surprise and turned her head to look at herself, her eyes were as bright as stars in the night sky, which burned his heart.
Chen Pengwei seemed to have a series of whirlpools in his heart, devouring him and letting him continue to sink in it. Although he knew for a long time that he would not be able to untie or break free from the Gu that this girl named Shui Lanqing had given him in his life, he didn't know that when he saw her again, that feeling became stronger and stronger. It seems that ten years have only made him more aware of how important she is to him. She is like the most powerful unique product in the world, once contaminated, there is no solution for life, but he is willing to do it.
Chen Pengwei didn't realize what he was shouting when he saw her, and he didn't remind her, he stepped forward with a smile and walked to her side.
"Really? You're not mistaken, are you? ”
"No, I came here and added these two things outside the door."
"That's a coincidence, we're neighbors. I knew I would have brought you to my house first, and it wouldn't have taken so much time. ”
As soon as he said this, Shui Lanqing remembered that the two of them were going to Chen Pengwei's house first.
"You live in B1?" Shui Lanqing looked at him suspiciously and asked. I don't know if the two houses were bought by a landlord, but for some reason, the garden behind them is not separated by a single lawn. Shui Lanqing hadn't seen anyone since she moved in, so she always thought that no one lived next door.
"Well, my friend's house, because I have to run this way all this time, so I borrowed it to live. Don't just talk, open the door, go in and have a look. Chen Pengwei raised his chin and motioned for her to take the key to open the door.
"Oh. Heck, my bag, and my luggage, are all in the car. ”
Chen Pengwei motioned for her to wait, strode to the car and took her things.
When I opened the door, it was not dark inside, and the moonlight and outdoor light faintly shone in through the window, so that I could see clearly. It's just that I turned off the air conditioner before leaving, and I didn't open the window, and there was a smell of covering in the house.
Shui Lanqing frowned and turned on the light, turned around to turn on the air conditioner, and saw that Chen Pengwei was already standing at the entrance to change his slippers. I blinked, I wanted to say something, but looking at his natural movements, I felt that I couldn't say it.
"Don't be stunned, go up and open the window in the room." The natural tone made Shui Lanqing suddenly feel that this was not her house. Just did as he said.
When he opened the windows upstairs and went downstairs, Chen Pengwei had already opened the windows downstairs, and the sound of boiling water came from the kitchen, and Chen Pengwei was walking around the room.
The layout of the two houses is the same, and the decoration is similar. Thinking about it for a while, it is impossible for him to live under the same roof as Shui Lanqing. Now that's a benefit. It's just that in the end she lives alone, no matter how close she is, if there is really something, she can't get there immediately. Therefore, it is always necessary to look at the direction in advance and check the safety.
"Your phone just rang."
Before Shui Lanqing could speak, Chen Pengwei pointed to the bag she had placed at the door.
"It's Xiaoyi. Ask me if I'm home. Shui Lanqing looked at her phone and said casually.
Chen Pengwei listened, a smile flashed in his eyes, he didn't know if she would be like this when she was with others, but he remembered that Xu was raised because she was watched by him since she was a child, and Xu was watched by him, and he didn't have any girlfriends since he was a child, so he would tell him anything. Whether it's a male classmate who wrote her a love letter, or a criticism for failing in an exam, or something more intimate. Before he could ask, she said it herself.
"Go up and wash up early, I'll wait until you're done cleaning up before leaving." Chen Pengwei looked at the mobile phone that Shui Lanqing casually put on the coffee table as he spoke, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Shui Lanqing was still thinking about how long he was going to sit here, but now that he said it himself, he didn't have to ask again.
"Do you still drink honey water at night?"
"Drink." Shui Lanqing was unpacking her luggage and getting things to prepare for a bath, and after listening to Chen Pengwei's question, she replied casually. After replying, he was stunned, "How do you know that I will drink honey water at night?" "This habit is unknown to no one except Xiao Yi and Mu Yi. Xiao Yi would never tell him about this.
Chen Pengwei raised his eyebrows, maybe it was because of a night of close contact, not a distant miss, Chen Pengwei's anger that came out from time to time because of Shui Lanqing's disappearance for all these years was consumed a lot by her soft smile and smile.
How would he know? It is no exaggeration to say that eighty percent of her habits were developed by him.
At that time, Shui Lanqing was only a teenager, and he didn't know who heard that girls drank honey water well, so he got a bottle for her to drink every night. Fortunately, at that time, Shui Lanqing's master already knew about him, and Master Shui Xin was not a person who was willing to turn over Lan Qing's things, so he sent some things from time to time, and it was vaguely regarded as entering the Shui family.
Shui Lanqing's temperament has always been dispensable for this kind of thing, but Chen Pengwei looked at her, she drank some, came and went, and didn't know if it was good or not, but the child thought that this sweet honey water was really delicious, so when Chen Pengwei asked, he told the truth.
At that time, honey was not as productive as it is now, and it was difficult to see it in department stores, and even if there were, the price was not parity, but these Shui Lanqing didn't know it. She just thought it was delicious, and her honey water never stopped from then until she went abroad.
Now, she asked him, how did he know?
"When I was just boiling water, I saw you put a bottle of honey there."
Shui Lanqing listened to his answer, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she was too tired this day, and her brain didn't turn anymore, so she simply didn't want to, so she took something upstairs and took a shower.
Chen Pengwei sat on the sofa downstairs, heard the sound of water in the bathroom upstairs, blinked, picked up her mobile phone on the coffee table, and fiddled carefully.
Thinking about her sudden disappearance ten years ago, with no news at all, and Du Yunyi's kidnapping before, I thought about whether to install a tracker in her mobile phone. It's just that if she knows, I'm afraid she will be unhappy.
He was thinking about it, the mobile phone in his hand suddenly vibrate, and the words "Mu Yi" flashed on the screen with the bright light, Chen Pengwei looked at these two words coldly, his fingers lingering above the answer button, hesitating.
The owner of the mobile phone was very patient, and it took a long time to stop, Chen Pengwei snorted coldly, he didn't answer, he clenched his fist, now is not the time to demonstrate, swear sovereignty, sooner or later, he can answer the phone for Qingqing openly.
