Chapter 18 The middle-aged Mediterranean boss
After treating the wound on Xia Dashao's paw, Hua Tao asked uneasily, "Is there anything else that I bumped into?" ”
Xia Sheng moved his hands and feet, twisted his neck again, and felt quite good: "It shouldn't be gone, or I'll take it off now for you to check and check?" ”
Hua Tao threw the medicine box over: "There is a mirror over there, you check it yourself, I'm going to take a shower, don't peek." ”
After saying that, he took out clean clothes from his duffel bag and ran into the bathroom.
Luckily, the bathrooms of this hotel are not equipped with the usual glass doors of hotels, and frosted glass is not good.
Hua Tao took a quick bath, two or three times, wrapped in water vapor came out, and her cheeks were smoked white and red.
Xia Sheng folded his hands behind his head, lay on his back on the bed, heard footsteps, and turned his head to glance at Hua Tao.
"Your phone rang three times." Xia Sheng said.
"Oh, my mom must have called." Hua Tao sat on the other bed, and was not in a hurry to return the phone, took out a sample of skin care products from the travel bag, and began to do hydrating and moisturizing care.
Xia Sheng turned over, pointed to her chest and asked, "What is that?" ”
Hua Tao glared at him viciously, don't turn her head and ignore him.
After a few seconds, she realized that she was referring to the pattern printed on her nightdress.
"That's Spot." Hua Tao turned her head and smiled at him embarrassedly, "It's the cat teacher in "Natsume's Friend's Account". ”
"Cats? Cat? It was the first time Xia Sheng had seen such a fat and obscene cat, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks, "Then what is the protagonist in the mosquito net, is it a mouse?" ”
Hua Tao was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person laughed and lay on the bed.
Xia Sheng: "......" Did he say anything funny just now?
"Xia Dashao, how can you not watch anime when chasing girls?" Hua Tao couldn't hold back her smile, the corners of her mouth rose again and again, and her lips were full of laughter.
Xia Sheng looked at her with a little smile in his eyes.
"I don't chase girls, it's girls who chase me."
"Don't talk too much, sooner or later you will meet someone who can cure you." Hua Tao slapped the toner, applied the cream, put everything away, and then took out her phone to check.
"Welcome to me, I hope that person will show up soon." Xia Sheng sat up from the bed and took out clean clothes from his travel bag, "I'm going to take a shower, don't peek." ”
"Hey, you can't get your hands wet." Hua Tao hurriedly reminded.
"Isn't there another one?" Xia Sheng shook his uninjured right hand, "By the way, let me introduce you, this is my first love." ”
Hua Tao was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until Xia Sheng walked into the bathroom that she realized what he meant.
Straight men are so annoying.
Hua Tao looked down and checked the mobile phone communication records, and found that the three calls were all the same number, not my mother's, but Chen Shimin's.
Chen Shimin called her?!
Hua Tao's whole person is not calm.
Three misses, not replying doesn't seem to be good.
In fact, it's nothing if she doesn't reply, if Chen Shimin is not the cousin of her mother's colleague, she can directly pull people into the blacklist.
But the reality is that Chen Shimin is the future son-in-law of her mother, and she can't offend the other party for the time being until she dispels her mother's idea.
So there is no other option but to call back.
But before that, she first sent a text message to her mother to keep her safe.
Mom replied quickly, I don't know what the nature of her business trip she misunderstood, the content of the text message was: remember two things when you go out, eat more and drink less.
…… Well, Mom was right.
After a long time, Hua Tao finally reluctantly dialed Chen Shimin's phone.
"Peach?" As soon as the phone was connected, there was a friendly shout with a smile on the other end.
Hua Tao: "......" Is the night breeze too cold, and goosebumps are rising.
"What were you doing?" Chen Shimin asked.
"Take a bath." Hua Tao couldn't accept that the other party chatted with her in such an affectionate tone.
They are obviously not familiar.
"I didn't see you when I came to your house for dinner tonight, and my aunt said you were on a business trip?" Chen Shimin continued to ask with a smile.
Hua Tao frowned, and felt the need to remind him: "Brother Chen, we seem to have made it very clear last time at Hyatt, right?" ”
"It's very clear, you said that if we have a relationship, we must be married." Chen Shimin said with a smile.
“…… The point is another sentence that we don't fit. Hua Tao finally understood what it meant to be a disaster from her mouth, how she had dug such a big hole for herself in the first place.
Chen Shimin smiled, did not follow her words, but suddenly changed the topic: "Where is Taotao going on a business trip?" ”
Hua Tao: "...... Hehe, out of town. ”
Just don't say it, what can I do?
Chen Shimin can be cheeky, and she can also pretend to be stupid.
"I hear the rain, it's raining over there?"
"Yes......" The door of the bathroom was pushed open, and Xia Sheng walked out of it. Hua Tao's voice unconsciously lowered an octave, "of." ”
Xia Sheng glanced at her, then walked straight over and sat next to her.
Hua Tao heard Chen Shimin say on the phone: "It seems that you have indeed gone far on a business trip this time, and we can see the stars and the moon here." ”
Xia Sheng stretched out his left hand in front of her, and spread his palm upwards: "I accidentally flushed the water, and I'm going to reapply the medicine." ”
Hua Tao's ears were suddenly a little overwhelmed.
"Hmm." She looked at Xia Sheng and nodded, and one pronunciation responded to two people at the same time.
Xia Sheng received the promise and went to get the medicine box.
Chen Shimin on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, and then asked, "It was your middle-aged Mediterranean boss who spoke just now?" ”
Hua Tao was stunned for a moment, her eyes fell on Xia Sheng's tall back, and she smiled and said, "Yes." ”
"It's hard to talk about business so late. Then I won't bother and call you in a few days. ”
"Huh?" Hua Tao wanted to say, you better stop fighting, save some phone bills. But the other party has hung up.
Xia Sheng sat beside her with the medicine box, glanced at the mobile phone in her hand, and asked with a smile, "Am I hindering you from chatting?" ”
"No, it was meant to be hung." Hua Tao threw the phone aside and re-medicated him.
Xia Dashao is pampered, with fine skin and tender meat, especially now that he has just taken a bath, his skin is more watery than that of a little girl.
"Mr. Xia can go and shoot a skin care commercial." Hua Tao was so envious that after taking the medicine, she poked his forearm with her finger.
"Your skin isn't bad." Xia Sheng raised his right hand and pinched her face, "It's like a peach, I want to take a bite." ”
Hua Tao was stunned for a moment, feeling that it was not her cheek that was pinched, but her heart.
Because the heartbeat obviously missed a beat.
"Don't pinch me without my consent in the future." Hua Tao pushed him away, quickly climbed into bed, and distanced herself from him, "Forget it this time, don't take it as an example." ”
Xia Sheng licked his lips and said, "Oh, okay. Then I will also make a statement in advance, and you can pinch me as much as you like without my consent in the future, I don't mind. The thin lips pulled out a soft smile, and the handsome and profound face seemed to be embellished with sunlight, so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
According to Hua Tao's character, she had to fight back, but because Xia Sheng's smile was so good-looking, she was stunned for a while.
The green-eyed noble boy gracefully carried the medicine box back to his bed and lay down in a large shape.
He turned his head sideways, looked at Hua Tao and said, "Good night, welcome to my dream tonight." ”
Hua Tao didn't recognize the bed, but she tossed and turned tonight.
The windows of the guest rooms were always open, and the raindrops beat against the glass, first urgently, then slowly, and the wind carried a strong moisture that lingered all night.
Hua Tao closed her eyes and slept intermittently, her consciousness like floating in the sea, floating and sinking.
For the first time in her life, she slept in the same room with the opposite sex, and the object was still a playboy with no discipline at all, which was extremely unbelievable a day ago.
But now it's really a little different, they have experienced life and death together, and they are friends of life and death.
What's more, in the moment of life and death, he did not hesitate to protect her.
Hua Tao can't sleep peacefully because the lonely man and widow are in the same room, and the dry firewood has to encounter a fire to burn, and she doesn't play with fire casually.
She lay on the bed and counted the sheep repeatedly, not remembering the number of them, and finally fell asleep in a hazy sleepiness.
In the dream, she stood at the door of the classroom with a group of classmates, and the young English teacher couldn't cry.
Hua Tao walked over and grabbed her hand and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, what's wrong with you?" ”。
She felt that the teacher's hands were cold, like a piece of ice.
The scene cuts to where she sees two male classmates fighting in the classroom, one being pushed to the ground by the other, banging his head on the floor, and then angrily getting up and giving each other a middle finger.
Hua Tao opened her eyes suddenly, her back was covered with cold sweat, she looked around a little dazedly, and it took a while to come back to her senses and remember where she was.
She dreamed of things from elementary school, and she thought she had forgotten everything, but she didn't expect that in the dream, the outline of the male classmate was still clear.
She got up from the bed lightly, and walked to Xia Sheng's bed by the light of the street lamp that penetrated through the window.
The light was hazy, a soft pale on his perfect side face.
The noble son is elegant on weekdays, but his sleeping posture has no image, how comfortable and how to stretch.
She crouched down and lay quietly on the edge of the bed to observe him.
When Xia Sheng fell asleep, his lips pursed slightly, and his expression was very innocent, like an innocent child.
Hua Tao listened to his long and steady breathing in the thick night, and only in this way could he feel at ease.
Twenty years ago, Hua Tao's tablemate had a fight with another male classmate during recess, and the other party, a fat man, pushed him to the ground. The back of the tablemate's head hit the ground heavily, making a bang, and Hua Tao was sleeping on the table, looked up at them, and went back to sleep.
The squad leader came over to stop them from playing, and asked the tablemate: "How are you, you didn't fall and get hurt, right?" ”
The same table grinned in pain, but pretended to be chic: "It's okay." ”
The next day, the people were gone.
Hua Tao carefully put her hand on the tip of Xia Sheng's nose, feeling the warm breath of the other party.
That's good, she thought.
It's good to be alive.
Xia Sheng slept soundly, maybe because he was really tired after driving all day. Hua Tao stared at his charming sleeping face for a long time, and finally completely relieved.
She opened her mouth and said to him silently in the boundless darkness: Xia Sheng, good night.
