Chapter 38: How Far Are You From Me (2)

He didn't know when he came, so he stood silently by the couch and didn't say a word.

Tide panicked, lowered his eyes, and continued to look for the remote control on the sofa, and suddenly glanced at the two faces on the screen that were close to each other and entangled, the close-up shot was too arrogant, and Tide could even hear the ambiguous sound made when the lips and tongues were entangled.

She felt that Jiang Qi did not move, and she also felt that there was a gaze behind her, falling on her back, and the heat rushed to her face and brain in a panic, numbing her limbs and body.

Why can't I find the remote control at this time? The tide was slightly annoyed in his heart, and he looked around again, and then reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and quietly retracted his body and sat down. She didn't dare to get up and leave here, because if she turned around, she might crash into Jiang Qi's eyes. She didn't want to be in such an embarrassing situation for him to see her red cheeks and ears. So she could only stare straight at the TV panel under the LCD TV screen, trying not to look at the blushing and heart-pounding images on the screen.

“...... Isn't the remote control right behind you? ”

A slightly lazy voice suddenly sounded behind him. The tone at the end of the sentence is sarcastic and funny.

The tide was startled, and subconsciously turned his head and touched behind him, and sure enough. The remote control had been lying quietly behind her sitting, she was in too much of a hurry to search around, but neglected to take care of her nearest position.

The tide felt the heat steaming even more strongly on his head. There were thousands of words buzzing in my ears, and my heart was beating suddenly, as if I was trying to break free from my chest.

“...... I'm not looking for this......" She was duplicitous, trying to hide her helplessness.

"I can't find my phone."

She was not ashamed.

The person in the back chuckled softly.

"Really?"

Jiang Qi's tone was flat and slow, but the tide could hear the ups and downs of banter inside, how could she not know that Jiang Qi had already seen her embarrassment, but he was too lazy to poke it. And herself, but the ghost sent by God continues to cocoon herself.

"Then you're going to have to look for it, do you need me to call you?"

It's over, the more round the lie becomes.

Tide tried to calm his counten, turned his head to look at him, waved his hand and smiled.

"No need, it was still on my body just now, it should have fallen on the sofa, I'll look for it again."

The screen cuts to the end song. Only then did the tide completely calm down, her gaze swept over Jiang Qi's face, and she caught a glimpse of the corners of his beautiful mouth, reflecting the fine light and shadow in his eyes on the TV screen, quiet and charming.

"Come on, come on, kids! Eat, eat, eat.......!"

Jiang Xiangcheng's voice from the kitchen broke the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two at the right time. The tide twisted his head back, stood up, crossed the river, and stepped forward to help serve the food.

Jiang Luo also happily followed out of the kitchen, holding a stack of bowls and chopsticks in his hand.

"Hard work Uncle Jiang." The tide stepped forward to take the finished dish from Jiang Xiangcheng's hand.

Jiang Xiangcheng smiled and waved his hand happily. "It's not hard, it's not hard, I like to be lively!"

The four of them sat down at the table in turn, and Jiang Luo danced to help everyone serve the meal.

"Why is my daughter so happy?" Jiang Xiangcheng looked at Jiang Luo and smiled, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy that could not be hidden.

Jiang Luo sat down at the table and grabbed the arm of the tide next to him.

"Dad, you're asking nonsense, as long as the teacher is here, I'm happy every day."

Tide and Jiang Xiangcheng both laughed. Only Jiang Qi didn't have any special expression.

That's fine. Tide sighed inwardly. It was rare for her to see him take off his mask.

"Come on, Tide, come and try Uncle's best food!"

Jiang Xiangcheng smiled and remembered the key point of today, and hurriedly picked up a huge and delicious lion's head and handed it to the tide.

The tide thanked her, lowered her head and took a bite, the fragrant meatballs broke open, and the sauce-scented soup flowed into her mouthpiece, instantly warming her internal organs.

....... It's like the taste of grandma, like the taste of home. She felt the greasy aroma of the gravy mixed in her tongue, and remembered the figure of the old man with a rickety back busy in front of the stove. When I was a child, when I came home from school, I could smell the unique smell wafting from afar, and the fragrance came over the curling smoke that was raised at the same time at the meal, and over the muddy stone road after the rain.

The old man made a very miscellaneous and very simple one, vermicelli cabbage soup, scrambled eggs with green peppers, sticky pots, and small dumplings. Those dishes are very simple, but they have become the most inseparable and best memories in half of her life.

Tidal felt a sudden burst of warmth in his eyes, and the memory swirled around the tip of his nose, bringing a kind of sourness.

"It's delicious."

She said this before her voice trembled, so that everyone would not see that she was wrong.

When Jiang Xiangcheng heard her say this, he became even happier, added a few more to her bowl, and carefully put two in Jiang Qi's bowl by the way.

"Eat more if it's delicious." He nodded to the tide, then turned his gaze to Jiang Qi, his voice gentle. "You guys loved to eat this when you were kids."

Jiang Qi didn't speak, picked up one with chopsticks, and took a shallow bite.

The three of them quietly probed the expressions on his face.

His expression was reasonably flat, and he didn't know if he was already unfazed, or if he was trying his best to hide something in his eyes.

The tide saw a trace of frustration flashing in Jiang Xiangcheng's eyes, obviously covering the original joyful light.

She lowered her eyes and sighed to herself.

This family also has things that they can't bear behind them.

"Oh, after eating this meal, there is only one wish left, and I can go abroad without regrets."

Jiang Luo shouted loudly at the right time, and the other three people jumped out of their emotions and turned their eyes on her.

"What? What other wishes do you have? Daddy helps you make it happen! ”

Jiang Xiangcheng looked at it with interest.

Jiang Luo frowned, pounding the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, his eyes flickering.

"You may not be able to help with this wish, Dad......." she said, her eyes jumped to Jiang Qi's face on the other side, and then jumped to the tide.

The tide subconsciously felt that this little girl was going to happen again.

"I really want the teacher to be my sister-in-law."

"Poof......!"

Tide felt the temples on both sides throb suddenly, and she immediately pursed her mouth, and reacted quickly to restrain the rice that had just slipped to the base of her tongue, so that she almost didn't squirt out from the back of her tongue.

She tried her best not to look at Jiang Qi's expression. She didn't dare to look at it either.

Jiang Xiangcheng laughed, reached out and slapped Jiang Luo's head gently.

"I can't help with anything...... You girl can't read well, what are you thinking about every day? ”

Although his words were reprimanding, his tone was extremely gentle.

"Your brother? ....... Don't you have a girlfriend? ”

Jiang Qi had a girlfriend, and Jiang Xiangcheng didn't know about it at first. Because of the distance and infrequent contact, he rarely paid attention to his son's private life, and accidentally found out because he once found a bottle of expensive perfume in the trash can in the bathroom, he asked the reason, only to know that it was a gift from Jiang Qi's girlfriend to Jiang Luo.

He still remembered that he angrily asked her why she threw away the gifts given by others, Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows and replied casually.

"Love the house and the black, hate the house and the black."

Jiang Luo pursed his lips with displeasure on his face when he heard Jiang Xiangcheng's question, and held his cheek with one hand, thoughtfully.

"I have a girlfriend, but it's impossible to get married."

.

Tidal Tide was beating wildly. Jiang Luo really dares to say anything. This topic can't go on like this, she knows Jiang Luo's temperament, she doesn't give up, and she won't give up if she doesn't get the result.

She raised her eyes, took a piece of braised pork and put it in Jiangluo's bowl, and joked in her tone.

"Hurry up and eat you, go review after eating, I still have to check your speaking tomorrow morning."

The tide said a word like a basin of cold water poured on Jiang Luo's head, and she made a naughty face at the tide, lowered her head and stuffed the meat into her mouth.

Jiang Xiangcheng looked at him with some shame, and his tone was soft. "I'm sorry, tide, this kid talks nonsense. ”

"It's fine."

Tide shook his head and smiled, withdrew his chopsticks and took a bite of rice.

"Jiang Luo, are you and Lin Fei rushing to get married?"

Jiang Qi suddenly spoke after a moment of silence.

The three of them looked at him in unison. The tide rarely saw the depth of his smile, speculating on the meaning of his words.

Jiang Luo's face suddenly turned red with horror, and he looked at Jiang Xiangcheng cautiously, but he didn't say a word. Jiang Qi's words stabbed her heart all at once, and she remembered that when she and Lin Fei met a grass wedding by chance before, she smiled brightly at him. She said Lin Fei, you will also give me a grass wedding in the future, I just want to marry you.

“......”

Jiang Xiangcheng saw his daughter's frightened and helpless eyes looking at him, his heart softened, he just sighed lightly, took a pair of chopsticks and vegetables, and didn't speak.

"So, how do you know I'm not on the way to get married, huh?"

Jiang Qi's voice spread again in the silence, and the last word was light-hearted, but with a hint of seriousness.

The tide suddenly felt something in his heart, and the frenzy of his heartbeat was gradually cooled down by this sentence in the ups and downs of the road just now, until it returned to the original dull rhythm, mediocre and ridiculous. In front of his family and her, he nakedly clarified his relationship with Xiao Ya. She felt that the sentence was like he said to himself, telling her that in his eyes she would always be just an ordinary acquaintance, telling her that liking him might be a low-level mistake similar to the intervention of a third party, telling her that his future had been arranged clearly, and there would be no her in it.

Tidal lowered his head in interest, his eyes fell on the white rice, and the tip of his nose was sour.
