Chapter 383: You Win
When Chen Xinyao returned to the apartment, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and because the mobile phone had been turned off due to lack of power when she was waiting early, she had no way to contact Zhong Ming for a while, and she didn't know that the other party had found her for an evening.
I thought that the other party hadn't gone home yet, after all, the other party had been very busy, and often the dragon didn't see the ponytail, but when she turned on the living room light, she found that Zhong Ming was sitting silently on the sofa alone against the darkness.
"When did you come here and the lights won't be on?" Chen Xinyao asked casually, feeling that the atmosphere seemed to be a little weird, and even became cautious when she spoke, for fear that something would happen to Zhong Ming.
"Where have you been?" Zhong Ming's tone was indifferent, he opened his mouth coldly, and his sharp eyes looked towards Chen Xinyao, God knows how tormented he was during the time period when he couldn't find Chen Xinyao.
Except for the period when his mother died, he had never experienced such a feeling again, and the feeling of being abandoned and betrayed spontaneously arose, which was also the first time that Zhong Ming began to realize that maybe he was really interested in this woman.
"I went to the supermarket, but the car ran out of gas, so I was delayed on the road for a while." Chen Xinyao naturally couldn't figure out Zhong Ming's mood, but she didn't like the other party's questioning tone, but she finally answered seriously.
Probably because he cared, every time he was in front of Zhong Ming, he either swallowed his anger or tried to reason with the other party, and the same was true at this time.
"That's it?" Zhong Ming got up and walked in front of her, not angry for the first time, but patiently examined Chen Xinyao seriously.
"That's it, don't you believe it?" Chen Xinyao saw the hesitation in the other party's eyes, but she didn't understand why she could see this emotion in Zhong Ming's eyes, but she felt a little surprised.
"Chen Xinyao, you seem to be starting to win." Zhong Ming said to himself, gently hugged Chen Xinyao, and rubbed his hand as if he was touching an extremely satisfying gift.
"So, this is?" Chen Xinyao couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's words, she just felt that Zhong Ming was a little weird today, but she didn't push the other party away and hugged her hand.
"Well, you're starting to encroach on my heart." Zhong Ming instantly left a kiss on Chen Xinyao's forehead with some tenderness, and rested his head on the other party's shoulder to rub it, as if seeking warmth in this way.
Chen Xinyao, who had never seen Zhong Ming like this, actually softened her heart a little, she didn't want to ask the other party what happened, she just felt an inexplicable distress through the tip of her heart, and strange feelings spread out.
In the kitchen, Chen Xinyao was busy with the vegetables at hand, obviously a little hurried, occasionally looking up in a panic, and could always see Zhong Ming leaning against the door and smiling faintly at him.
"Are you sure it's cooking?" Zhong Ming looked at the messy table of fruits and vegetables with some disgust, and questioned it.
"Of course, I have this treasure book, and I'm sure I can make something delicious. Don't believe it, you wait for me, I must come out with the finished product! Chen Xinyao held up the cooking book she had bought some time ago, and replied to Zhong Ming with some unconvinced, she had made sufficient preparations.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see!" The corners of Zhong Ming's mouth suddenly outlined a smile, his eyes were full of disgust, but there was some tenderness in his eyes.
Although he said this verbally, he didn't leave the kitchen at all, and still leaned against the door without disgusting the smell of oil smoke, waiting for Chen Xinyao's finished product, looking at the other party's busy appearance, his heart was a little satisfied.
Zhong Ming has been pampered since he was a child, although he has lived abroad alone all the year round, he has always been taken care of by Xu Bo and them, and he has never entered the kitchen himself, so even if he wants to intervene to help, he can't find a gap, so he can only watch Chen Xinyao toss alone.
An hour later, Chen Xinyao slowly brought out three dishes and one soup from the kitchen, and said to Zhong Ming with an embarrassed face: "That, that's it for the time being today, or just barely eat?" ”
"Good!" Zhong Ming was not as arrogant as usual, but nodded, it was not as difficult as he imagined, and Chen Xinyao was somewhat pleased.
Preparing the dishes and chopsticks and sitting opposite Zhong Ming, Chen Xinyao stared at Zhong Ming's movements seriously, only to see the other party slowly pick up one of the small green vegetables and put it in his mouth.
For fear of missing any expression and detail on the other party's face, Chen Xinyao stared carefully with her eyes and never changed her eyes.
took a bite gently, originally thought that with the appearance of this dish, it must be a success, but I didn't expect it to be unexpected, it can be considered ordinary, although it is not particularly good, but it can barely be eaten, Zhong Ming really felt surprised.
Seeing any special expression on Zhong Ming's face, Chen Xinyao's face was full of worry, feeling that she might not be able to see the expression she wanted on Zhong Ming's naturally cold face.
Chen Xinyao personally picked up the chopsticks, took a bite and put them in her mouth, and tried it herself, but obviously she felt a little surprised: "I didn't expect it to be really edible, I just said, I will definitely succeed, is it impressed with me now?" ”
"Well, it doesn't look good, but it tastes okay." Zhong Ming is not stingy with his praise, not to mention that this woman has been busy in the kitchen for so long, if she doesn't praise her, I'm afraid that there will be no chance to come to her for dinner in the future.
After eating all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, it was not as delicious as what Chen Xinyao made by herself at this time, Zhong Ming obviously remembered his mother, she used to cook by herself and cook delicious home-cooked meals for him and his father Chu Haoxiong.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and before he could all the memories and block them, she had abandoned him and gone to heaven alone. 's mother is different from Chen Xinyao, she is gentle and considerate, and she can cook well, unlike Chen Xinyao, who is stubborn and often makes people angry.
He thought that he would definitely find a tender woman like his mother in the future, so he regarded the woman in his dream as his final destination, even now.
If he can really find her, then even if he has some friendship for Chen Xinyao, he will decisively give up, after all, the person in his dream is the lover he has been haunted by for many years.
But he didn't expect that he would have compassion for this woman he had always hated in his heart, but it was surprising, thinking of this, Zhong Ming suddenly remembered that since he and Chen Xinyao decided to try it, he had dreamed a lot less.
"What do you want? Isn't it to your liking? Chen Xinyao was a little reluctant to go, she was still immersed in the atmosphere of self-euphoria before, and felt very happy, but in a blink of an eye, she thought that Zhong Ming had always been a fine food and jade, but today she had to eat her own messy meal that could barely be eaten, and she was very unhappy in her heart.
"No, it's appetizing." Zhong Ming's thoughts were pulled back to reality by Chen Xinyao, and there was a lot of tenderness in his eyes when he looked up, flickering so much that Chen Xinyao felt as if time had stood still.
Zhong Ming was already good-looking, and a smile made her go back to the year when they first met when she was a child, but all this was a painful memory for her, and she didn't want to mention it again.
Thinking of the past, Chen Xinyao has no appetite at this time, she will never forget all the things that happened on her sixteenth birthday, Zhong Ming is no longer Zhong Ming, and she is no longer the same Chen Xinyao.
That night, Zhong Ming's meal increased greatly, and a person who was self-disciplined about his diet on weekdays actually ate an extra bowl of rice, which really surprised Chen Xinyao.
As night fell, the whole city was rendered as an isolated individual, Chen Xinyao leaned on Zhong Ming's arms, and the two of them sat on the sofa, the latest movies were projected on the screen.
Zhong Ming has always disliked this kind of boring literary and artistic plot, but Chen Xinyao likes it, and after eating the other party's meal, he can only watch the movie for a while according to the other party's temperament.
In her spare time, Chen Xinyao's eyes were inexplicably wet, she suddenly turned her head and asked Zhong Ming twice: "If she comes back in the future, will you give up on me?" ”
Although she couldn't guess who the woman was in the dream Zhong Ming often had, she could feel exactly what the other party cared about.
Zhong Ming was silent for a while, which made the atmosphere fall silent, and Chen Xinyao suddenly smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth: "Okay, I know, I'm just joking." ”
