Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Little Romance
Xu Jingyou held Ji Cheng's hand, and his two feet cooperated with each other to kick off the rubber boots. The socks were covered in mud, and she looked at herself,
"Can you still have this dress?"
"Try to wash it, you need to wash it off, and if you can't wash it off, forget it."
Ji Cheng glanced behind her, and couldn't help laughing, Xu Jingyou didn't know,
"What are you laughing at?"
"Look at the ground behind you."
She turned around, and there was a puddle of wetness on the dry stone floor. The shape of the wet spot overlapped with his ass, and it must have been imprinted when he just came back.
Xu Jingyou pretended to be calm, "What's so funny!" β
Master Song took a dry bath towel and draped it over her head, urging:
"Let's talk later, let's go upstairs and change my clothes first."
"Yes."
When she had finished speaking, she went upstairs barefoot and rattled the stairs.
Ji Cheng bent down to straighten his back basket, and when he saw a few flowers and plants inside, he felt inexplicable.
"Braving such a heavy rain just to pick these?"
Master Song smiled, and he didn't say anything about it.
The water droplets hanging on her body dripped all the way, and a gust of wind came in through the window, Xu Jingyou couldn't help but shrink her neck and shiver, she rubbed her hands and gasped in her mouth.
Fortunately, there is still hot water, otherwise she would have really pouted.
The heating lights were all turned on, and she collapsed her wet clothes layer by layer, separating her underwear from her coat.
"If you take off your clothes, give them to me when you take them off."
Outside the door, Ji Cheng leaned against the wall and knocked on the door with his knuckles.
"Right now, right away, don't rush."
There was a clatter inside, and the bathroom door opened a small crack, and Xu Jingyou's smooth arm grabbed his clothes and stuffed them into the crack of the door, carefully.
Ji Cheng reached out to pick it up, inadvertently raised his eyes, and saw Xu Jingyou reflected in the mirror through the crack in the door.
Ji Cheng: Huh......!!!
Frightened, he immediately turned around, and the blood gushed up his head, red to the base of his ears.
"Hey, are you out there? Why don't you pick up clothes? β
Gurg, his heart skipped a beat, the words in his mouth were knotted, and he couldn't hold back a word.
"Hey! Ji Cheng? β
Xu Jingyou in the bathroom is full of question marks, what about people?
After not responding for a long time, my hands were sore, so I simply threw them away, threw them on the ground, and closed the door.
Ji Cheng heard a clear sound of locking the door in his ears, and he timidly turned around and used his peripheral vision to spy on whether the door was locked.
After confirming that it was correct, he grabbed his clothes and went downstairs.
Ran downstairs to dare to gasp normally.
Master Song was arranging the cloth there, and seeing his flushed face in a hurry, he asked:
"Ji Cheng, why are you so ruddy? Isn't it hot? β
Ji Cheng shuddered,
"I didn't ...... No, it's just a little hot. β
After speaking, he went into the corridor and brought a large iron basin to scoop water and wash clothes.
The deep and shallow pits in the courtyard continued with pools of rainwater, and the water coming down from the eaves became pillars and columns, disturbing the ears with the sound of crackling water splashes.
Ji Cheng poured laundry detergent, sat on the small bench, and skillfully scrubbed Xu Jingyou's coat.
The water in the basin was so black that a piece of clothing turned into mud before it was washed.
He washed the three clothes four times before they were clean.
Xu Jingyou snorted while going downstairs,
"Master, where is Ji Cheng?"
"Doing your laundry outsideβ"
She draped her towel over her body and went out to see him.
The clothes were heavy, and Ji Cheng was a little struggling to twist it alone.
"Do you need my help?"
Ji Cheng's heart froze, and he responded without raising his head:
"No, you don't."
Xu Jingyou saw that he didn't look at himself, thinking that he was angry about letting him wash his clothes, so he leaned over and spoke softly.
"You're having a hard time today...... Will I wash it back for you next time? β
Ji Cheng's Adam's apple rolled, smelling the fragrance on her body, and with the warmth of just coming out of the bath. He glanced next to him, pink pajamas...... Just the right fit.
I couldn't help but think of the picture I had just been upstairs in my mind, and the emotions that had cooled down instantly rose again.
"No...... No. β
"What not? I don't owe favors. β
"Are you cold?"
Xu Jingyou's pajamas are visibly thin to the naked eye, at least in November, a little thin.
"Huh? OK...... Yes. β
She looked at herself puzzled.
Ji Cheng threw away the half-wrung clothes in his hand with a "bang", and hurried back to the house and went upstairs.
A minute later, he hugged his long black jacket and wrapped it around her, squatting down to help zip it up.
Xu Jingyou didn't even react, he was already tightly wrapped from head to toe.
Xu Jingyou: ......
"You."
"What are you? Let me go in and dry my hair, and put my clothes on before I come down. β
Ji Cheng twisted her shoulders, turned slightly, and forcibly pushed her into the house.
Xu Jingyou took a breath and wanted to defend something, but he gave up and went upstairs obediently.
Master Song, as a melon-eating crowd who witnessed the whole process, looked indifferent, nodded at him directly, and expressed his approval.

Inside City A Hospital
Xu Yishen and the child took samples separately and came out one after another.
He Chaoxi saw that the time was not early, and invited casually,
"Let's go have a meal together, right?"
Gao Ming nodded resignedly, and said thank you very softly.
Xu Yishen buttoned the buttons on his wrists, looking indifferent,
"Eating together was photographed by a reporter, I don't know what it will say."
"I'm worried that my child will be hungry."
He Chaoxi looked at the two-year-old Xiao Budian, and the more he looked, he saw the similarity between him and Xu Yishen.
She retracted her thoughts, laughing at her ridiculous thoughts.
"Then let's go, the company still has something to do."
Xu Yishen took He Chaoxi's hand and walked to the elevator, and after being a little farther away from the mother and son, he whispered in her ear:
"How do you think they're prepared?"
He Chaoxi smiled confidently, "It's okay, I've already found someone to keep an eye on." β
They can test their DNA so confidently, I guess, they already have a strategy, right?
Like what...... Bag transfer?
ββ
After lunch, Ji Cheng took the initiative to take over the work of washing dishes, Xu Jingyou and Master Song looked at each other and smiled, and agreed that he was a good worker.
Ji Cheng's performance was indeed unexpected by Xu Jingyou, she thought that a person like him should not eat fireworks in the world, but she didn't expect that she could do any job.
Xu Jingyou took advantage of the gap in the kitchen and hurriedly ran to the master's temporary vacated workshop to make clothes.
Tie-dye can't dye the design pattern, so she can only use the gray valerian technique.
Fortunately, the pattern she wanted was not complicated, otherwise she would not have been able to finish it.
Laminated, sketched, stereotyped.
For two hours, not even the plate was carved.
Ji Cheng and Master Song stood at the door for a while, but they didn't attract her attention.
"Master Song, what is she doing now?"
"Valerian. It is to apply an anti-dye agent to the cloth and dye it into a pattern. β
Xu Jingyou straightened her waist, the thick long jacket on Ji Cheng's body was a little restrictive, she unbuttoned her apron, took off her clothes and put it on the chair next to her.
When I looked up, I finally saw the two people at the door,
"What are you doing where you stand?"
Xu Jingyou ran to the table and covered the things on the table with his body.
"Just take a look, what are you panicking about?"
"Don't look at it! Get out! Xu Jingyou rushed over and pushed Ji Cheng out.
"Why are you just pushing me?"
"Isn't it possible that I want to push my master? Get out! β
Master Song watched happily and consciously slowly hid in the living room.
Ji Cheng Laipi, dragging the door frame and not letting go,
"I'm just watching from the sidelines, it's raining outside and I can't go out to play, I'm bored."
"If you're bored, go and accompany Master."
"Accompany Master...... It's even more boring, or else, I'll give you a hand. β
"No, thank you."
"Shall I bring you tea and water?"
"Don't be so humble, boss."
Ji Cheng raised his eyebrows, flexibly turned his body to the side, shook her and ran into the house.
Xu Jing jumped anxiously,
"You come out for me!"
The two fell in love and killed each other for a few rounds, Xu Jingyou was defeated, and pointed at Ji Cheng, who was like gummy candy, so tired that he couldn't speak.
"Count...... Calculate...... You're ruthless. β
Ji Cheng pulled an old-fashioned chair and sat down.
"It's not a baby, what are you doing in secret?"
"Shut up!"
"Oh......"
Xu Jingyou held a flat-edged knife in his right hand, stabilized the cardboard with his left hand, carefully lowered the knife, and began to carve the template attentively.
Ji Cheng was curious, and quietly propped up the chair handle and wanted to stand up,
"You sit down for me!"
Xu Jingyou's scolding voice burst out, and he was so frightened that he immediately sat back in an orderly manner.
"I warn you, I have a sharp weapon in my hand now, don't go near Ha, the sword has no eyes."
"Cutβ"
Hearing her say this, Ji Chengbian felt as if he was about to hit the muzzle of the gun, so he stood up and said with a bang:
So I got up ...... "a big gasp...... Can't go to the toilet? β
Xu Jingyou: ...... Don't be cowardly if you have the ability......
Five minutes later......
Xu Jingyou looked out of the door, there was no movement, and the rain stopped again, guessing that he estimated that he had gone out for a walk alone.
"Whewβthe roots of my ears are finally clear."
The light above her head was a little dim, and she went to the cabinet to bring a table lamp and put it next to the table.
The warm light of ginger shone diagonally on the paper, and the cypress leaves were halfway unfolded on the cardboard. Confetti was scattered on the table, and the room was filled with the smell of indigo grass.
She reached over to change the knife, and hit the blade of a knife, making a small cut in the knuckle of her finger.
The knife was sharp enough that it didn't hurt, and blood beads came out, and she twisted a small rag to plug it and continued to stereotype.
Ji Cheng wandered around the yard boringly, his hands in his coat pockets, and his feet stepped on the loose floor tiles to splash out.
"Whew-"
A long sigh.
Look inside the house, look outside the yard, look at the sky, look down at the time.
Otherwise, go out and ...... Take a look?
Ji Cheng pretended to yell twice into the house,
"Xu Jingyou? Xu Jingyou! I'll go out for a while......"
There was no response, tiptoeing out of the yard.
Over there, Xu Jingyou's cardboard had already been carved, she straightened up and slowed down for a while, took out the pebbles in the wooden box, and continued to lie on her stomach and began to polish.
Ji Cheng walked along the road he went to Aunt Wang's restaurant last time, and there were always two or three old people gathered in front of the Soviet-style old house, sitting around each other silently drinking tea, or chatting about homely state affairs.
The old man's accent Ji Cheng could barely understand it, and he could catch a little bit of information when he passed by.
The stream is murmuring, and the trees by the stream are shady, which is suitable for living in old age.
But along the way, he found that it seemed that only Master Song's family was doing handmade indigo dyeing.
If he originally planned to build this place into an indigo dyeing industrial park, it seems that the foundation is not enough.
An old woman guarded a stall supported by several wide wooden planks on the side, and four children formed a circle in front of the stall, tightly surrounding the stall.
Ji Cheng heard them talking about which pack of instant noodles had cards in it.
The taller child held up a bag and said confidently:
"Listen to me, this bag definitely has it."
The three little ones nodded, and together they solemnly handed out five cents to grandma, and ran to the side with their faces in their arms.
Ji Cheng shook his head to the front of the stall,
"Grandma, what kind of card are those kids looking for?"
The old woman spoke clearly,
"That's it...... Water Margin card Li Kui's one. β
Ji Cheng nodded, looking at the child over there tearing open the package, full of anticipation, but finally turned into a frustrated sigh.
β¦β¦
"Well, no, I'll just tell you to listen to me and buy another pack."
"Didn't you say it earlier, do you still have any money?"
"No, I've got all my money for tomorrow breakfast."
"Your mom knows if she beats you?"
β¦β¦
Ji Cheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw their vivid little expressions.
He looked at the box of crispy noodles in front of him, picked up two packets casually, and took out a dollar from his pocket and gave it to the old woman.
I tore it with the mentality of giving it a try, and I saw the card in the first pack and took it out.
There are two small words written next to the head of the character on the card: Li Kui.
Ji Cheng grinned, raised proudly, and called the child over there,
"Hey, kids, do you want this?"
Four little imps swarmed in front of him, looked at them intently, and shouted happily:
"yes, this is it, oh my godβ"
They looked at Ji Cheng as if they were looking at a hero.
"Big brother, can you send us? Or we buy. β
Ji Cheng raised his eyebrows, squatted down,
"Oh? Buy? Don't you run out of money?"
"I also hid a dollar, but I was afraid of an emergency, is it enough? Not enough, let's go back and make up. β
The other three nodded together, as if they were pounding garlic.
Ji Cheng smiled, it's really cute, but,
"I don't want the money, if you are willing to help me run errands, I will give it to you."
"Okay, what do you want us to run?"
Ji Cheng got up and went to the old woman's stall to pick out a bamboo dragonfly, a plastic car with wheels that couldn't roll, a pair of pink pompom ball hairpins and two packs of crispy noodles.
Four things, the same in one person's hand.
"You go and deliver the things to Sister Xu Jingyou of Master Song's house one by one, remember, you must let her take it personally."
The four children took the order, and as soon as they slipped away, they disappeared.
ββ
"Sister Xu Jingyou! Sister Xu Jingyou!"
"Sister Xu Jingyou!!"
The four of them roared in unison, still in the voice of a child.
Xu Jingyou, who was in the house, had to leave his work and go out to check the situation.
"Kids, do you have anything to do with me?"
The eldest child at the head stuffed the bamboo dragonfly into her hand,
"This is for your sister."
Tightly, the second child, the third child, the fourth child.
Xu Jingyou looked confused, but still smiled, gentle and gentle,
"Thank you, but what are you giving me a gift for?"
"No, no, we're just little postmen, these are given to you by a big brother."
The first thing that flashed in Xu Jingyou's mind was Ji Cheng.
"Oh, then you wait a minute."
She carried her things into the house, took a handful of candy and gave it to them, so that they could go back and say thank you to the brother.
The four children slipped away in another gust of wind.
Xu Jingyou: What is Ji Cheng doing? Playing romantic? But what are the gifts?
