Chapter 34: The Black Cat at Home
When Tao Xi found Liang Yan, it was six o'clock in the evening. Because the Internet cafΓ© includes food and accommodation, although Liang Yan rented a house by himself, Liang Yan is still willing to go to the Internet cafΓ© to eat.
"Why did you eat instant noodles?" Tao Xi saw what Liang Yan was eating, and frowned, "Didn't my dad order takeout for you?" β
Liang Yan finished the last bite of instant noodles and said, "I want to eat instant noodles today." β
"But this ......" Tao Xi was silent, feeling that he was a little too out of bounds, so he changed the subject stiffly, "My dad said that the lights in the study are not on, I don't know if you have time to ......"
"Okay." Liang Yan took out a napkin, wiped his mouth, cleaned up everything, and stood up, "Let's go." β
didn't expect the other party to be so neat, Tao Xi was stunned, but followed behind Liang Yan in small steps.
"Hey, Xiao Yan?" When I went out, I happened to meet Su Jingxue's girls, "Where are you going?" β
As she spoke, Su Jingxue's gaze had already stayed on Tao Xi.
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that Liang Yan didn't plan to speak, Tao Xi saw Su Jingxue lowering her eyes, and hurriedly said, "Well, he plans to help repair the lamp in my house." β
"Lonely men and widows, what is the relationship between the two of you?" I don't know if Shi Jinyu's voice is mean, Tao Xi only feels harsh when he listens to it.
Tao Xi didn't want to pay attention to them, so he pushed them away and left.
"Xiao Yan, I brought you a cake...... You come back early. Su Jingxue saw Liang Yan also leaving, and hurriedly shouted.
Tao Xi glanced at Liang Yan, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he withdrew his gaze again.
What do you think, what do they really have......
After entering, only Tao's father was in the house, and Tao Xi looked left and right, "Where is my mother?" β
Father Tao squeezed his eyebrows at her, because of Liang Yan's presence, he could only convey the meaning with his eyes: Your mother went out to buy something, you should take advantage of the opportunity!
What and what is this...... Tao Xi looked at his father inexplicably, "What's wrong with your eyes?" My mom went out to buy you medicine? β
Yu Nan, who was on the side, watched the whole process and almost laughed, the sluggishness of this family is really genetic.
Father Tao gave up his daughter's IQ and said, "Your mother has something to do." He turned his head and said to Liang Yan, "Have you eaten?" Still have some food at home to give you hot food? β
Liang Yan looked at Tao's father's eyebrows, and somehow, probably the word "home" touched him, and he shook his head, "No need, I've eaten it." β
Tao Xi felt very unhealthy because of the instant noodles that Liang Yan ate, so he hurriedly said, "Dad, Xiao Yan just ate instant noodles in an Internet cafΓ©." β
Father Tao was really cooperative, and immediately frowned, "Why do you eat instant noodles, don't you let Xiao Xiong order takeout with you?" Come on, Xiao Yan, don't worry about fixing the lamp, sit here for a while, I'll give you a hot meal. β
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, Liang Yan could only sit down and say thank you in a low voice.
Father Tao waved his hand and patted the young man on the shoulder, "It's too polite to say this, if you don't dislike it, you can come to me to eat every day, we already have a meal, and I can save money if you come over to eat." β
Father Tao said this generously, but Liang Yan knew that there were five dishes and one soup when he came to eat, and he might have a bucket of instant noodles to eat.
In addition to thanks, Liang Yan didn't know what else to say. When he was in the world, there were some happiness and difficulties, but there was a little less human touch. He thought he didn't lack, but it turned out that he just didn't.
"I'll eat some too!" Tao Xi thought of today's dish and chicken legs, and hurriedly said, "I didn't have an appetite to eat less before, and now I'm hungry!" β
Father Tao has always doted on his daughters, so he nodded and went with them.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Liang Yan said, "Really eat less?" β
The banter in his voice made Tao Xi react for a while before jumping to his feet, "What are you talking about!" β
"When I pulled you up this morning, I felt the weight." He spoke very tactfully.
Tao Xi stepped on the young man who didn't know the height of the sky, "See that chicken leg or not, it's all mine!" β
The young man glanced at it, and quickly put it in his mouth, "It's mine now." β
Three question marks suddenly popped up on Tao Xi's head, excuse me? Is this still the same cold model at that time? The way you hold the drumsticks is funny, you know?
Liang Yan was unconscious, and took a bite slowly, "It tastes good." β
That's certainly good! She has loved to eat chicken legs since she was a child, and Tao's mother spoils her, and making chicken legs is also a must. Now, it's all in his belly.
Forget it, don't worry about your eighteen-year-old brother, Tao Xi said generously, "I'll give it to you." Who made you my brother. β
Liang Yan squinted, and suddenly felt that the pleasure of snatching food was much less.
"Remember to wash the dishes when you're done." Tao Xi was robbed of the chicken legs, and instead attacked the chicken wings next to him, saying while gnawing.
Liang Yan pointed to the bowl of chicken she emptied, "I'll wash it?" β
Tao Xi pretended to be stupid and took a step back with his feet, "Aren't you me?" β
Liang Yan's legs were long, and he staggered forward two steps with a slight hook, and he seemed to be smiling, "Together." β
Mom, this little network manager is more handsome up close.
Tao Xi lowered his head and nibbled on chicken wings, feeling that he might be a little more stupid.
As if he didn't notice the distance between the two, Liang Yan put the food he wanted to eat in a bowl and threw it into the microwave.
"Do you still want to eat?"
Tao Xi felt that he turned his back, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took a step back and shook his head. After the action, he realized that he couldn't see it, and said, "No need." β
What is beautiful and delicious, Tao Xi didn't know before, but now she is indeed full.
"I'll go out first."
The kitchen was dimly lit, Tao Xi's cheeks were hot, and she wanted to go out to take a breath.
After saying this, I felt that there was a gaze on me, heavy.
Then I heard Liang Yan say, "Wash the dishes." β
ββ¦β¦β
Why don't you eat!
Tao Xi angrily added a bowl of rice to himself, a full bowl!
Turn grief and anger into appetite!
Unexpectedly, the nasty voice sounded again, "You want to eat some too?" β
Tao Xi's hand shook, and half a spoonful of rice fell back into the bowl. She looked at her bowl, remembered Liang Yan's bowl just now, pouted and said forcefully, "This is when I grow my body." β
Liang Yan was silent, "You're right. β
I think you're still sarcastic about me. Tao Xi glanced at Liang Yan resentfully.
Tao Xi's eyebrows and eyes are not outstanding, but there is a faint light in his eyes in the dark, which makes him think of the lazy black cat at home.
"He has signed the mechanical keyboard, and he will give it to you tomorrow."
"Really?!" The cat's eyes really lit up, its paws were on the corners of his clothes, and when it looked up at him, it was a little dependent and a little expectant.
Liang Yan's hand touched her hair, and he felt a slight sense of touch, as if he had touched something that should not be touched, and quickly retracted it.
He turned and answered.
Tao Xi glanced at him strangely, he was fine just now, but now what happened suddenly?
"Dididi."
It's the sound of a microwave heating up a meal.
I was waiting for the microwave oven!
Tao Xi grabbed his clothes, ignoring the sudden loss in his heart.
After the two finished eating, Tao Xi thought of the wonderful atmosphere between the two of them just now, and said, "Do you want to go to the study to repair the lamp first?" β
Liang Yan didn't expect her to say this, she was only surprised for a moment, agreed very quickly, and put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Then I'll go first." β
Seeing that Liang Yan was really planning to leave, Tao Xi felt unwilling again, "Wait a minute!" β
"What?"
"I just said nonsense!" Tao Xi said quickly, and when he realized that something was wrong, he hurriedly made up for it, "I mean, I just tested you casually, I didn't expect you to be so untestable." Come on, I've decided, you're in charge of washing the dishes, I'm in charge of wiping the table. β
Saying that, Tao Xi pushed the person to the side of the sink, "Work hard!" β
Unexpectedly, Liang Yan's movements were extremely fast, and Tao Xi was still cleaning up the dishes, when he heard the other side say, "Is there still a bowl?" β
Tao Xi took a bunch of bowls and was about to put them in the sink, but was stopped by Liang Yan and said, "Put them one by one." β
Tao Xi was helpless, so he had to wait on the side, and after seeing him finish washing a bowl, he handed him one.
The two of them are one left and one right, but they are very harmonious, and it doesn't seem to be embarrassing if they don't speak.
When everything was done and he came out, he saw that Yu Nan was the only one left in the living room.
She ate the chips and laughed like a cunning fox, "You've been eating for a long time." β
Yu Nan looked as if he had seen what they were doing in the kitchen. But they didn't do anything! Thinking of this, Tao Xi became arrogant, "Eat slowly!" β
"I guessed it." Yu Nan raised his eyebrows noncommittally, took a bite of potato chips, and crossed his feet, "It's okay, uncle took Auntie out for a walk, you guys repair it slowly, don't worry, it's still early before work." β
The last sentence was said to Liang Yan, and Tao Xi always felt that there was more ridicule in her eyes.
But when he looked at Liang Yan, he felt that he was unfazed.
Tao Xi only regarded himself as an illusion, "Do you know where the study is?" β
Liang Yan nodded and took the lead up the stairs.
The Tao family's study was at the end of the corridor on the second floor, and when Liang Yan walked in, he was just about to turn on the lights in the room, but he didn't expect that the study was broken by the main lighting.
He took out his phone and was about to turn on the flashlight when he felt as if he had been hit on the back.
Then I heard a slight mutter, and the girl rubbed her forehead, "I'm sorry...... It's too dark for me to see......"
Liang Yan turned on the flashlight, "It's okay, let's go in." β
Tao Xi raised his hand and wanted to pull the corner of Liang Yan's clothes, but after thinking about it, he retracted it and only followed him. When she was young, she and her brother often hid in their study to watch horror movies. It's okay to turn on the lights, but when you turn off the lights, you always feel that you can feel the coolness in horror movies.
As if sensing the girl's caution, Liang Yan said, "If you're afraid, you can grab me." β
He didn't stretch out his hand, Tao Xi had to grab the corner of his clothes.
Liang Yan walked forward, raised his hand and didn't see the lamp, and said strangely, "Where is the lamp?" β
Tao Xi poked his head out from behind him on tiptoe, "It's over thereβ"
As he was talking, his feet slipped, Tao Xi subconsciously pulled the corner of the clothes of the person in front of him, but he didn't expect Liang Yan to fall with her because he was unexpected.
Liang Yan subconsciously protected the girl first, pulled the person over, and put herself underneath.
The girl on top was pillowed on her stomach, and she breathed evenly, and her body was as warm as her own black cat.
"Are you alright?" Tao Xi stood up in a panic.
Liang Yan was still thinking about the tactile sensation just now, and it took him a long time to react, "Well, it's okay." β
