Chapter 60: Selling the House
"No, just walk a few steps to the car. Also, I don't think they allow traffic on campus. β
"Be obedient, sit there obediently and wait for me, I'll be over in a while." Chen Pengwei didn't care what she said, pressed her back to sit on the bench in the shade just now, and walked out quickly.
Looking at Chen Pengwei's figure striding away, Shui Lanqing sat on the bench, thinking carefully about what he had just said, as if except for his tone was not too respectful, the others were very reasonable. It's just that he has never been a strong person, so I'm afraid I can't say anything like him in this life.
He said he had been fighting in middle and high school and had a puppy love. She can imagine the fight, his temperament, coupled with his family background, and Gu Wenhao's group of small fears are not less troublesome, but they are just in early love, but I don't know what kind of girl they are with?
Thinking like this, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. But he suddenly remembered what he remembered about his childhood before, and then thought, if the little boy in his memory was really him, wouldn't the object of his early love be himself? Thinking about it, I felt more and more that the air outside was a little hot.
"Beep", a short whistle, Chen Pengwei's car has stopped in front of the door. watched Shui Lanqing get into the car, and casually handed over a sports cup with a light color. Shui Lanqing took it casually and looked at the cup in her hand, it was obviously a woman's one, but she understood that he was letting herself drink water.
"For me?" As he spoke, he unscrewed the lid of the cup, and a faint lemon smell wafted out.
"Taste it. I soaked it in the morning and just forgot to give it to you. β
Shui Lanqing thought, but a cup, if you refuse, it would be hypocritical, so she took a sip according to her words, with the sour taste of lemon and a little sweetness, and couldn't help but take another sip.
Chen Pengwei saw that she was willing to drink, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you, it's delicious. Where did you get the cup? Screwing the cap, Shui Lanqing carefully looked at this water cup, the material should be very lightweight, it doesn't weigh much when it is filled with water, and it is still insulated, so I don't know where he found it.
After seeing enough in his hand, he put it back in the cup seat between the two, and saw Chen Pengwei slowly take out a drinking cup from the buckle of the car door while driving, handed it to Shui Lanqing, and motioned for her to help him unscrew it. Shui Lanqing looked at the cup stuffed into her hand, looked at it carefully, and looked at the cup she had just placed between the two of them a little helplessly, these two cups were obviously couples, Shui Lanqing bit her lip, feeling ashamed and angry.
This guy is a bastard. When I was in the car in the morning, I didn't see him take this cup all the way, and he took it out as soon as he finished drinking. It's just that I drank it myself, and it's impossible not to have this cup. It's a big deal not to use it in front of him in the future, Shui Lanqing thought hatefully, twisted his bottle cap and handed it to him.
Chen Pengwei didn't speak, smiled and took a sip, and handed it back to Shui Lanqing. Seeing her puffing out, she didn't reply, took back the water cup, put it next to Shui Lanqing's cup, and looked at the two cups side by side, with a smile in her eyes.
"Did Mu Yi say how to arrange his sister? You can't let Mu Yun stay in China forever. β
Shui Lanqing listened to him, and she didn't think about the two cups anymore for a while. "I haven't heard him say it. But if you don't stay here, it's also troublesome to go back to the United States to find a school. β
Chen Pengwei frowned, Mu Yi was really unkind, he actually threw such a hot potato to Shui Lanqing.
"Then does he have any plans for Mu Yun in the future? If she wants to go on like this, won't she have to trouble Mu Yi in the future? According to Chen Pengwei's heart, I can't wait for Mu Yi to leave with Mu Yun tomorrow and stay away from Shui Lanqing.
Shui Lanqing was carried by his words, and she no longer thought about the cup. Rubbing his eyebrows, he shook his head, "Originally, I was in charge, but those who were in charge and those who were managed were not happy, and the effect was naturally not very good, and then I simply ignored her." β
"If I'm not mistaken, will Mu Yun be able to dance?" Chen Pengwei remembered the first time he noticed Shui Lanqing in the bar before, because Mu Yun provoked the little girl dancing on the stage. At that time, I thought that this little girl still had some arrogant capital.
"How do you know?" Shui Lanqing asked with some surprise.
"Once in a bar, I seemed to see her dancing with others." Chen Pengwei said it generously, thinking that Shui Lanqing would remember that incident, but as a result, this confused girl didn't think much about it at all.
Nodding, "Well, she dances well, and I like it." However, because of her mother, Mu Yi did not allow her to dance. Therefore, she has never studied systematically. Shui Lanqing remembered that she had talked about this with Mu Yi when she first came back, and Mu Yi was resolute.
Chen Pengwei listened, squinted his eyes and thought about it, and said with a smile, "Mu Yi doesn't allow it, and Mu Yun won't even learn." Then she listened to her brother. β
Shui Lanqing blinked, she hadn't thought about what Chen Pengwei said, but let him say this, it seemed to be true. According to Mu Yun's temper, it shouldn't be. Moreover, Mu Yi never cut off her pocket money.
"It's a pity that you don't say that you haven't found out, she can still dance like this without learning." Shui Lanqing shook her head regretfully, if there was no Mu Yi's obstruction, or if Mu Yun's temper was not so unruly, she really wanted to teach her well.
Chen Pengwei made Shui Lanqing's temper laugh, and people almost pointed at her nose and scolded her just now, and now she regrets that people can't learn to dance.
"You're good-tempered, she just said that about you, and I didn't see you angry."
Shui Lanqing smiled when she heard this, "Then haven't you seen her talking to her father and Mu Yi's mother talking to Mu Yi, and she is no better talking to Xiao Yi." Just treat it as a child who hasn't grown up and just ignore her. If it's really for this kind of competition, then it's not interesting. β
Shui Lanqing didn't want to think about Mu Yun's affairs, so she changed the topic and asked, "Where are we going to eat?" β
"Is it good to eat Japanese food?"
"It's fine, but I can't eat sashimi or anything like that."
"Well, their hot food is good."
Rushed to the restaurant at half past 12, the hall was full of people, Chen Pengwei ordered a small private room, took off his shoes, and the two sat in, very Japanese-style, papier-mΓ’chΓ© sliding doors, isolated from the noise of the outside world.
In the morning, although she ran to two places, Shui Lanqing was in good spirits, listening to the soft music and carefully looking at the furnishings in the house.
Chen Pengwei finished ordering and looked at the teacup when the tea had been poured out. Looking up at the girl opposite, her ten fingers were placed on the table, unconsciously moving, dexterous and soft, and all of them were wrapped around his heart. remembered that when she competed on the stage, she conjured up countless shapes of hands, which turned out to be practiced in this way.
"The ginger jujube tea I want, are you used to drinking it?"
Slowly retracted his gaze, looked down at the contents of the cup, to be honest, when I drank it just now, I didn't pay attention to what it tasted like, and nodded, but it was not unpleasant.
Chen Pengwei was just about to speak, and the mobile phone on the desktop said, "Hum... Buzz" vibrated up. Looking at the name of the person above, he frowned slightly. Looking up at Shui Lanqing, Shui Lanqing thought he was asking if he minded, so he hurriedly shook his head, "You take it." β
Chen Pengwei looked at the phone and waited two more times before connecting.
"Hey..."
"Eating out, do you have something to do? It's okay, just say it. β
βΒ·Β·Β· What, you're going to sell your house? Where are you? β
"Xisi Hutong? That's a good place. β
βΒ·Β·Β· Okay, I see, I'll help you ask. Let's talk about it after we meet. β
Putting down the phone, Chen Pengwei lightly tapped his fingers on the table twice, looked up, and saw Shui Lanqing looking at his mobile phone in a daze, the expression on her face was very similar to what she looked like when she encountered a problem when she was a child, biting her lower lip lightly, frowning slightly, thoughtful, and stopped.
"What's wrong? Something? β
As he spoke, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the food. Shui Lanqing was originally a little hungry, but now she has something on her mind, and she can't take care of eating.
"Try his beef." I grabbed a piece and put it on Shui Lanqing's plate, but I saw that she was still unwilling. "What's wrong?"
Shui Lanqing hesitated, unwilling to miss this opportunity, and finally asked, "Is your friend's house in Xisi Hutong?" β
"You want to buy a house?"
Chen Pengwei's outstretched hand paused, and then he re-sandwiched a piece of beef and put it on his plate. "Didn't you say you were going back to the U.S. after you got your passport? What, do you want to come back and settle down? β
For some reason, Shui Lanqing always felt that he was a little unhappy in his words, and his tone was light, not as good as in the morning. I was just thinking about the house I lived in with Master before, and I wanted to see if I had a chance to buy it back.
"Not really. Do you know what number your friend is selling? β
"His house..." Chen Pengwei motioned for Shui Lanqing to eat something first, but he couldn't resist him, and put the beef he brought over in his mouth. "No. 70, it seems to be an ownerless house before, after the owner died, no heirs could be found, so the government took it back and sold it again."
Chen Pengwei explained this, Shui Lanqing "sighed" in her heart, No. 70, it is another house in such a situation, I am afraid that it is really the one I lived in before.
"Dangdang..." Shui Lanqing raised her head and saw Chen Pengwei knocking on the side of the plate with chopsticks with a dissatisfied face, "Nothing is as important as eating." If you want to ask about the house, I'll ask you after dinner. Eat well, or don't blame me for not helping you. β
Shui Lanqing pursed her lips, lowered her long eyelashes, looked at the food on the table, and looked at it all closed, but she had something in her heart, this person is not difficult for a strong man.
Seeing Shui Lanqing's uneasy appearance, Chen Pengwei sighed secretly, knowing that after answering the call, she was afraid that she would not be able to eat properly.
"You can eat in peace, and the house won't be sold for a while. Even if you sell it, if you like it, I can grab it for you. β
