Chapter 3 My Luck Is You
"My hands hurt!"
In the western-style building, Cheng Ye was wearing a mask and straddled a high ladder, looking at Huo Jingyu sitting on the sofa in despair, hoping to awaken his compassion.
"Hurry up, there's not much left." Huo Jingyu urged.
shouldn't have extravagant hopes for him, Cheng Ye wiped the glass cabinet hard, "Not a gentleman at all, no grace at all!" ”
"I'm not a lady at all, I can't learn any gentleness." Huo Jingyu rarely quarreled with her.
"Who says I'm not ladylike, who says I'm not gentle, my students think I'm gentle." Cheng Ye said unconvinced, like an angry child.
"Then why don't you ever show it to me?"
"It's not that I'm afraid that you will fall in love with me, I still have to want to reject your reasons if you fall in love with me, and you will be embarrassed to see me in the future." Cheng Ye said it very seriously, but it was the funniest joke Huo Jingyu had ever heard, and it was difficult to control himself after sneering.
"What are you laughing at, I'm serious! Indeed, many people confessed to me that I was distressed at that time, I was very busy with work, and I had to think about how to refuse them so as not to hurt them too much. ”
Huo Jingyu laughed out loud completely, it was so funny.
"Don't laugh!" Cheng Ye was annoyed and ashamed, thinking that he had been belittled, and a rag smashed on him.
When he was working, time always slipped away quickly, and when it was dark, Cheng Ye was sweating profusely and opened the last cardboard box and took out a can of paint, twisted his neck weakly and asked him: "Where do you put Napoli Huang?" The cabinet is full. ”
"Just leave it at that." Huo Jingyu looked at her weak appearance and said, "Let's go to dinner and eat what you like." ”
Cheng Ye stood up with the box in her arms, showing a flattered look, she especially liked his tone at the moment, "I thank you!" ”
"What do you want to eat?"
"As long as you make it, you want to eat it."
Huo Jingyu piled up the empty cardboard boxes in the corner, "It's too troublesome to eat outside." ”
"Oh." Cheng Ye said without giving up: "But the chef in the restaurant is not as delicious as you." ”
"It's useless to pat yourself on the back."
It was already dark and deep, Cheng Ye looked at the slow-moving vehicles opposite through the car window, and she suddenly remembered a very important thing, her creation!!
There was a sound of thighs slapping in his ears, Huo Jingyu glanced to the side, and saw her wrinkled face, not knowing what she was doing.
During the meal, Cheng Ye was absent-minded all the time, and he didn't even eat a few bites of his favorite meat chop.
"Hey, where are you throwing it?" Huo Jingyu grabbed her hand.
Cheng Ye came back to her senses, looking at the stupid thing she had done, she actually threw the onion she picked out into Huo Jingyu's water cup, and she immediately replaced the water she hadn't drunk, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention." ”
Huo Jingyu sighed and asked the waiter to change a glass.
"What are you thinking?"
"Nothing, work." Cheng Ye cut a small piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, and it was cold.
"Want words?"
Cheng Ye looked at him in surprise, "Do you have a clairway eye?" ”
"It's mind reading." Huo Jingyu unfolded the napkin on the dining table and took out a pen out of nowhere, "How old is the singer?" ”
"In my teens, there were four, all boys."
Ten minutes passed, maybe shorter, Huo Jingyu stopped writing, before he could speak, the tissue was instantly taken away by Cheng Ye, she held the paper and the corners of her mouth curled higher and higher, and read out in a small voice:
Time passes
Life is turned upside down
The hustle and bustle here or there
It's just a snap in the air
The sun rises as usual
The sunset is so wonderful
What does not change is the five senses of the person
Whose dependence is it that is scattered?
You see if that's good
We carry our bags on our backs
Ride on freedom
One stop at a time
Cheng Ye asked excitedly after reading it: "Is this word really given to me?" She poked him on the shoulder, "Ouch, I usually squeeze me so much, but I didn't expect it to be all appearances." ”
"I'm afraid this meal will have to be eaten until it closes."
Cheng Ye's heart was solved, his mouth began to be greedy, and as soon as he was full, he shouted that he wanted to eat supper, and was forced to go home by Huo Jingyu.
As soon as she entered the house, tired and distracted, Cheng Ye fell into the well-decorated new house, she lay in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the pedestrians who looked like ants, and the neon lights of the night gathered into colorful dots and jumped in the air. She pulled out a folded napkin, and the simple words made up the sentences looked like something she could write.
It was not early, she moved into the room to wash, but as soon as she opened the door, she could not move, as if she saw something incredible, she looked away and blinked, and when she looked back, she found that it was still there, so she approached cautiously, afraid of disturbing it.
The gramophone, which she had been thinking about for a long time, stood elegantly in the center of the room, and she gently touched the well-made wooden horn with her fingertips, feeling the cold touch, and she couldn't help but cry out excitedly.
She immediately took out her mobile phone, and as soon as the number was connected, she confessed loudly: "I love you!" ”
Huo Jingyu was smart to go hands-free in advance, otherwise his eardrums would not be usable.
"Are you God? Are you Guanyin apparitions? No, you're definitely my Aladdin's magic lamp! She held up her phone and touched it as she spoke, her face full of joy.
After being happy, she came to her senses, "This workmanship and luster are definitely not cheap, why did you suddenly give it to me?" ”
"I bought it and put it in that house, not for you." Huo Jingyu said.
She opened the small cabinet and took out a bunch of records, all of which were of the type of music she liked, cut and duplicitous, "If you don't give it to me, then I thank you for putting it here." ”
Cheng Ye and Huo Jingyu have known each other for many years, classmates, and the class next door.
If you want to talk about how Cheng Ye stuck to this seemingly bland, but actually hot Huo Jingyu, you can look back to the night when she was looking for a part-time job when she was a student.
Cheng Ye stood at the door of a music restaurant with makeup on her face and hair loose, pinching a job advertisement, she took a deep breath nervously, trying to be as calm as an adult. The proprietress interviewed very casually, asked a few questions and listened to her sing half a song and passed.
When he was about to go home, he bumped into Huo Jingyu, who was actually bartending for a female guest. She boldly leaned over and watched as he placed the cocktail in front of the guest.
Huo Jingyu met her fiery gaze and poured her a glass of orange juice, "After drinking this, go home." ”
Cheng Ye took it in surprise, she thought he would pretend not to know her, but she didn't expect him to not only take the initiative to talk, but also invite her to a glass of juice.
The two met for the first time outside the school in a non-school uniform, and the lighting design here was both cold and romantic, which made Huo Jingyu's makeup-covered eyes blurry and deep. This unfamiliar sense of familiarity made Cheng Ye dare not meet his eyes.
Now there are not too many customers, Huo Jingyu is quite leisurely, and he can talk to her a few words.
"Why are you here?"
Cheng Ye asked rhetorically: "Then why are you here?" ”
"Work." Huo Jingyu wiped the glass and said.
"I'm also working."
Huo Jingyu took a closer look at her appearance, and her deliberately mature dress did not make her lose her stupidity at school, but like a child in the rebellious period, secretly applying her mother's lipstick.
"Resident singing?"
Cheng Ye nodded excitedly, "I just passed the interview, and the boss asked me to come up next Saturday night." ”
"Your family is short of money?" Huo Jingyu asked bluntly.
"I don't lack it, but I don't lack it." Cheng Ye also replied sincerely, "I saved money to buy a piano." She said happily, and the helplessness in her eyes was difficult to capture.
When the day of work came, Cheng Ye sat on the small stage holding a guitar, facing the curious eyes of the audience, her fingers curled up nervously. Among dozens of pairs of eyes, she found a pair of deep pupils, which magically soothed her nervous emotions.
When it was time to get off work, Cheng Ye put the score on his back and walked towards Huo Jingyu, "Thank you!" ”
In response to his puzzled gaze, she explained, "When I saw you when I was nervous, I was less nervous. ”
Huo Jingyu took off his uniform in front of her, which made her a little embarrassed, and her wandering eyes fixed on the wall. Seeing her like that, Huo Jingyu laughed out loud and put on his clothes.
Cheng Ye saw that he was about to leave with his bag, and asked, "Are you going back to school?" ”
"Go home."
"Where's your home?"
"Nearby."
"I'm nearby, too! Maybe our house is very close! ”
Cheng Ye watched him stop at the iron gate five meters away from him, they lived really close, right next door.
Since Cheng Ye knew that there were classmates near her home, she often came to the door, although Huo Jingyu often ignored her, but she wanted a sense of security that someone was around.
The two went in and out together, which made people think that it was a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. Since why do the same people go separately? This is Cheng Ye's concept.
In order to get rid of her, Huo Jingyu deliberately went out half an hour early. Cheng Ye couldn't see him when she went to school, so she stood at the door of his class and waited for him to get out of school with her in a high-profile manner, and he was not liberated until she got her first boyfriend.
Who knew that Cheng Ye secretly applied for the same university as him, and once returned to the pre-liberation period.
Once accustomed to this person, it was difficult for Cheng Ye to leave, and the kraft candy that couldn't be thrown off was also used to Huo Jingyu, and the two stumbled over each other for more than ten years.
In the quiet library,
On the back desk on the third floor, there was a mobile phone that was constantly on, and its owner was anxiously flipping through a book, ignoring it.
"To drink tea?"
A voice that did not hide its volume sounded, disturbing a small area of people who were working hard.
Cheng Ye subconsciously looked up, only to see a middle-aged woman in a black pavilion uniform holding a teapot looking at her with concern.
Cheng Ye lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, stay in the office and don't come down again." After saying that, I apologized and met the gaze of the other side of the inquiry.
"It's okay, I'll do the inspection." Zhou Jing said.
Cheng Ye couldn't cry or laugh, this was the third time that Zhou Jing went around to her to ask for warmth, and she could feel the change of state of mind from leisurely to nervous in this area.
Zhou Jing said: "Go home for dinner in the evening. ”
Cheng Ye hurriedly shook his head, "I'm going to have something out tomorrow, busy, next time." ”
"Ouch, I don't even know what you're busy with every day, how many times I've told you, it's good that you come here as a girl to work without pressure." Zhou Jing glanced at her computer with disgust and complained.
Cheng Ye said yes.
Zhou Jing thought she had figured it out, so she immediately smiled and said, "You tell me the time." ”
"Hmm...... Before you retire. As soon as the words fell, a palm fell on Cheng Ye's back, "Retire, I'll let you retire!" ”
"You are a leader, you are not afraid of damaging your image by hitting readers?" As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Ye was choked by the back of his neck.
Zhou Jing bared her teeth and said, "I have no image when I meet you." I don't care, you come as soon as possible, if you don't come, I'll wipe your neck! ”
Cheng Ye broke her hand, "Why didn't I find you so domineering before, I really pity my brother." ”
Zhou Jing is a leader after all, and it is not good to chat here, and when she passed by the service desk, she symbolically explained a few words to the administrator, proving that she was here to do the inspection work.
Cheng Ye sighed and lay on the table to take a nap, but was gently woken up by the administrator within a few minutes: Please don't sleep, there are many people in the museum on Saturdays and Sundays, and seats are in short supply.
She looked up at the administrator in front of her, who was obviously much younger than herself, her heart was speechless, did her sister-in-law want her to do this kind of offending work?
She smiled and nodded to the Administrator, quickly packing up her things and giving up her seat to the readers who had been around the room for a long time.
At night, Cheng Ye still obediently followed Zhou Jing home.
Cheng Ye came out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes, and as soon as he put it on the dining table, the door was opened, and a man with white flowers swaggered in, "Wife, I'm back!" ”
Zhou Jing didn't hear it in the kitchen, but Cheng Ye, who was standing in the living room, heard it, not only heard but also saw it, her two eyeballs popped out, and her jaw fell to the ground.
Li Kuitian completely peeled off the dirty clothes on his body, for fear that Zhou Jing would be a little unhappy, he used his afterglow to see someone, obviously taller than Zhou Jing, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he pretended to walk in front of that person very calmly.
"Brother, you're insane!" Cheng Ye's roar broke the string that Li Kuitian pretended to be calm.
Li Kuitian, Cheng Ye's eldest brother, one is surnamed Li with his father, and the other is surnamed Cheng with his mother.
Zhou Jing was stir-frying in the kitchen, the sound of the range hood covered up the noise outside, she fried a dish and took it out, and saw Cheng Ye reprimanding her husband who was as smooth as a preserved egg, she smiled and said, "I'll take a bath when I come back." ”
With an order, Li Kuitian rushed to the bathroom, but he was cold.
Cheng Ye felt ridiculous, "Sister-in-law, my brother can't be arrested as a pervert like this!" ”
"Who made him dirty!"
"Don't you care?"
"Whatever, if you're not there, I won't let him in." Zhou Jing sighed, "If only your brother could be as clean as Jing Yu." You see, your brother, he didn't come home for a few days when I was on a business trip, and the bathroom specially built for him in the studio could be used as an ornament by him. ”
"You can't compare my brother with Jing Yu, they can't compare!" Cheng Ye's words were a little proud.
"Okay, if you don't compare, you won't compare." Zhou Jing changed the topic and asked, "When can you marry him?" ”
Cheng Ye rolled his eyes in his heart, "Sister-in-law, is your topic a little more jumpy?" ”
Li Kuitian walked out with wet hair, "How can she be virtuous, it's good to have a man, if Brother Huo wants to marry, I have to stop it." ”
"What do you mean by this, you still stop your sister from marrying?" Zhou Jing twisted his ears with his hand, and Li Kuitian screamed in pain, and he endured the pain and said, "You can't let Brother Huo go astray!" ”
Cheng Ye was very unhappy in her heart, was she so bad? But I just don't like to dress up, my personality is not so womanly, sometimes I like to play games, drink wine, watch some thrillers, I don't like to do housework, I can't cook, I don't like to read, hmm...... The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was really useless, and that the only advantage she had was not to make any money.
The same thing is a disadvantage in Cheng Ye, and if it is replaced by Huo Jingyu, it becomes an advantage, and her advantage is also his advantage. If you want to compare to him, only her affinity is her, but Huo Jingyu is very good at pretending, so he was defeated.
Cheng Ye let out a long sigh, she was able to rely on him for so long, it was really God-given luck!
"When would you like to go home for a few days?" While eating, Li Kuitian asked.
Cheng Ye picked up a piece of roasted eggplant and put it in his mouth, "Sister-in-law, what did you put in this eggplant?" Salty and sweet. ”
"Salt, sugar, fish sauce." Li Kuitian answered for Zhou Jing, and he asked again: "When will you go back to see your parents?" ”
"Sister-in-law, this soup is delicious, you can teach me another day."
Zhou Jing looked at her husband's gloomy face, pursed her lips uneasily, and said, "This soup is better for your brother." ”
"That's not good, he likes salty food, and he'll kill me."
Li Kuitian endured his anger and said, "I will go back and stay for two days this Saturday." ”
"I'm not available." Cheng Ye refused indifferently.
"Don't take an inch, then your parents!" Li Kuitian was still angry after all.
Cheng Ye was not affected by the anger at all, she ate calmly, she stood up after eating the last bite of white rice and said, "Sister-in-law, I am full, thank you for your hospitality, you eat slowly, I will leave first." With that, she picked up her bag and was about to leave.
Zhou Jing hurriedly stayed: "Leave so soon?" I didn't eat the fruit, but I have your favorite oranges! ”
"Next time, I'm leaving."
Li Kuitian sat silently, Cheng Ye's indifference was like a basin of ice water, dousing the fire that had come out of his head, and the smoke dissipated only sorrow.
"Don't mention it next time you eat, everyone is angry with you." Zhou Jing reluctantly put Cheng Ye's empty bowl into the kitchen.
Li Kuitian can't figure it out, they are all a family, what mistakes can't be forgiven?
