Chapter 080: This Night
Chapter 080: This Night
Back in the community, Dong Xiaokui washed her face, changed into home clothes and came out, looking at the wall clock, it was already six o'clock. She took her phone and looked at it, there were no missed calls, no text messages.
This man has not been heard from again? She was a little apprehensive, so she rang the bell, and after a while, there was a knock on the door. She got up and opened it. Chen Jun stood at the door and asked, "What do you have to tell Miss Dong?" ”
"Did you say you came back for dinner?" Dong Xiaokui asked.
Chen Jun shook his head and said, "I just called Xu Shao, but no one answered. ”
"No one answered?" Dong Xiaokui's heart hung up, thinking of last night's scene.
It was because her anxiety and worry were too obvious, Chen Jun immediately said: "Miss Dong, don't worry, I just called Xu Mansion to ask, Xu Shao is playing chess with his father at home, so, after six o'clock, Miss Dong still eats something by herself." There is a good restaurant near here, I will order a meal for Miss Dong. ”
It turned out that he was playing chess with his father. As long as there is no danger, Dong Xiaokui breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, shook his head and said, "I see that the kitchen can cook things, I want to boil some porridge and drink it myself." ”
"This-" Chen Jun frowned, looked at the room, and after a while, he said, "Miss Dong, look at what is missing, make a list, and I'll go to the supermarket downstairs to buy it." ”
"No, I'll buy it myself." Dong Xiaokui said, and then added with a smile: "However, I want Chen Jun to accompany me and help me get things." May I? ”
"Okay." Chen Jun replied, his face was as serious as ever.
"Then I'll change my clothes." Dong Xiaokui smiled slightly and shut Chen Jun out of the door. She changed into cropped pants, a white T-shirt, and used the hairpin given by Xu Er to curl up her long slightly curly hair. Took my phone, keys and wallet and went out.
Chen Jun waited at the door and went downstairs with her, without saying a word along the way. The supermarket is next to the community, and because it is after work, many people who buy groceries by the way are in a hurry to the supermarket. The supermarket was crowded.
She went in, pushed the cart, shuttled between the shelves, carefully selecting the spices and ingredients. She always thought: Zhong Lin should like it. It seems that at the bottom of that small box, there are peppercorns given to her by her mother. It's an authentic taste, and when you stir it up, there's a wonderful flavor in the dish. Some time ago, he was just able to eat these seasonings, and she made a choking of shredded potatoes, which was not good enough, but he ate happily. also said that the peppercorns in Jincheng just feel very fragrant.
Yes, she didn't make this meal for herself, but wanted to make it for Xu Er. It doesn't matter if he comes back tonight or not.
Because she just sold a ticket to Jincheng at noon tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is Dong Xiaohuai's champion banquet, and she must go back. Naturally, it was because Xu Er was injured and her life hung by a thread that she returned to the capital. Now, Xu Er has recovered, and it is reasonable that no matter what the decision of each other is, she should go back.
Presumably he wouldn't object either. When she bought the ticket, she waited there, looking at the colorful lines on the electronic sign, and suddenly felt confused, not knowing which way was the right one.
"Miss, are you sure you want a ticket to Jincheng at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon?" The waiter's voice was soft and kindly reminded.
After a brief pause, she nodded. Because after thinking about it, there is only this way, and this ticket is really a must-buy.
On the way back, she clutched her ticket tightly. I want to be separated from him, and I don't know what the future holds, and my heart hurts empty. Leaning against the window, I watched the sky gradually darken. Think of those lattice windows, the rooms that shine through the light, must have their own fireworks warmth.
Zhong Lin, if you are just a man from a small family, even if you are not so glamorous. We may have warmer happiness. When she thought about it, she felt a little confused.
From beginning to end, he never promised anything, at least not positively. Even if he took the jade bracelet from the eighth aunt that he said he would give to the person who would accompany him in the future, what would it mean.
Later, she simply didn't want to. Because, with his understanding of Xu Er, he would not object to her going back. That means, then, that they spend less than twenty-four hours together.
She suddenly wanted to cook for him, to cook a sumptuous table. So, as soon as she got home, she freshened up a little and began to think about preparing the ingredients.
What does he like to eat? She pushes a trolley from shelf to shelf, reminiscing about her time with him while looking at the dazzling array of goods on the shelves.
Sometimes I took it and put it back on. Because she suddenly remembered that there was some food that he didn't like. However, because she made it, he ate Xiangsven, and he kept eating it seriously, and he would praise it. However, when the chef who helped one day occasionally said that she didn't like something, her heart was sour, and so picky people even said it was delicious.
In the end, she picked several extremely ordinary vegetables, which were not as tender as their own vegetable patches. It's okay, although the guy said that he wanted to have his own vegetable plot and eat fresh vegetables from time to time, and he also opened up a corner of Ning Yuan, but for some reason, the growth of the several vegetables he wanted was not very good.
I paid the money and went out, looked at my phone, and there was still no news from Xu Er. She was a little worried, and when Chen Jun took the shopping bag, she asked again: "Xu Shaozhen is in Xu's house?" ”
Chen Jun was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "Xu Shao just called me and asked Miss Dong not to wait for him." He still has some things to take care of, and you're not in good health. He told you to rest earlier. ”
Dong Xiaokui let out an "oh" and walked straight ahead. The night breeze in the capital is fierce, and it carries the aftermath of heat. She sniffed and was in a bad mood. Because there is a vague awareness that something is changing. Although it was expected for a long time, it was still a little sad.
Without saying a word, she began to tinker with the food until half past ten in the evening. He stewed chicken soup, stir-fried his favorite dishes, and made the kind of egg custard he liked.
When she finally washed her hands, took off her apron, sat at the table, and smelled the fragrant food, Xu Er hadn't come back yet. Despite her hunger, she didn't want to eat, just stared at the food in a daze.
Then, she finally picked up the phone and pressed his number very slowly. There was a long sound, one after another in the silence, and finally it was quiet. Her mood was extraordinarily calm, as if the situation was already under control.
Really, Dong Xiaokui has no joys, sorrows, or grievances. The whole person is calm to the point of ethereal. She sat at the table and looked at a table of food. She said to herself: Xu Zhonglin, this is my heart for you. A table of home-cooked food made with heart.
She sat for a moment, stood up, soaked a packet of instant noodles, and ate it ferociously. Then, stand on the balcony and look down to see if the familiar Range Rover is back from the dim community lights.
The night breeze was cool and violent. She stood on the balcony for a long time, and the wind seemed to take all the heat away from her body. The lights in the community are still hazy to death, but gradually, the vehicles entering and exiting are sparse.
She finally didn't wait for him to come back. Turn around and enter the house, slowly close the floor-to-ceiling windows, and tighten the curtains. Put the dishes on the table, put them in the refrigerator where they should be put in the refrigerator, and throw them out when they should be poured out. Then, she took a hot shower, changed her pajamas, slowly touched the bed, pulled the quilt on, and closed her eyes.
I didn't sleep deeply. First, because she has something on her mind; Second, the neighborhood is not particularly quiet, occasionally hearing the sound of cars, and every time, she suspects that it is him who comes back, although his car basically does not have that kind of sound.
I woke up and fell asleep intermittently, and woke up and fell asleep. Finally, she was so tired that she finally fell asleep. However, it didn't take long for someone to stand by the bed. When she woke up on one side, the wall lamp in the room had not been turned off, and she was afraid that he would come back and see clearly, and hit a stool or chair or something. So, she saw Xu Er standing by the bed and watching herself sleep.
Maybe she didn't expect her to wake up all of a sudden, Xu Er was startled and stunned.
"You're back?" Dong Xiaokui sat up wrapped in the quilt.
"Well, just came back." He replied.
"Have you eaten?" She asked, very homely.
"I just passed by the porridge shop and ate it." He said.
She was hungry, but she didn't want to say more, just "um". The two fell silent again, one sitting, the other standing. After a few moments, he coughed and explained, "I didn't have the phone with me for some of the things I had earlier. I was going to give you a call and tell you not to come back for dinner. But, I've been busy, so—"
"I'm guessing you're busy. So, I made my own delicious food. I'm not going to do myself any wrong. She smiled and interrupted him.
He smiled wryly and said, "Really? That's for the best. You've never thought about yourself. ”
"You don't know. Thinking for others is for the sake of one's own better development. If you want to take it, you will give it. I'm shrewd. Dong Xiaokui still smiled, and her voice was crisp.
Xu Er looked at her, his brows furrowed again. Dong Xiaokui looked up at him, pouted and said, "Frowning again, not allowed." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as this sentence came out, his brows frowned even tighter, and then he sat down all of a sudden, hugged her in his arms, and shouted in a low voice: "Xiaokui." ”
"Well, I'm here." Dong Xiaokui replied, leaning on his arms to feel steady, trying his best to inhale his breath, and finally smelled some disinfectant water, which belongs to the unique smell of the hospital.
Her heart sank and chuckled, but she couldn't ask. Yes, if he doesn't say, she can't ask. Because he is a man who knows how to measure and is also a domineering man, if he wants to share it with you, you cover your ears, and he can fit it in; If he doesn't want you to know, he won't tell you if you get to the bottom of it.
He held her tightly, and slowly leaned over, resting his head on her shoulder. After a long time, she asked, "Do you need to eat more?" There's chicken soup in the fridge, I'll go heat up a bowl for you. ”
"Nope." He spat out a word, somewhat child-like, coquettish, and hugged her tighter.
"Okay." She replied. The backhand also hugged him. He shook his body, looked up slightly, and kissed her on the forehead. Then he held her quietly. After a long time, she hesitated, and finally said the sentence: "Zhonglin, I want to go back to Jincheng." ”
"Hmm." He replied, succinctly.
"I bought a plane ticket for tomorrow's noon flight." She continued, always feeling like she was walking a tightrope, walking on top of the abyss. After she said this, she waited for Xu Er's attitude. A heart hung in the air, but fortunately, it was only a moment of silence, and Xu Er said lightly: "Tomorrow, I may not have time to send you." I have something to do in the morning, so I have to go early in the morning. ”
"It's fine. I'll just ask Chen Jun to send me there, you're busy. Dong Xiaokui raised his head from his arms and smiled at him, but his heart was desolate, he originally thought that he could have a breakfast together, or if he was favored, there would be a lunch.
"It's late at night, go to bed early. I'm going to take a break too. Xu Er stood up suddenly, as if he was instantly away from her for a light year. ......
