Chapter 23: The Last Night of Solitude
After receiving the reply from King's Landing, Meng Tangtang put the phone back on the cabinet at the bedside and walked to the door of the room by himself.
She opened the door a crack and looked out carefully.
The lights in the living room have been turned off, the TV has been turned off, and the only place in the entire house where light shines through is Qin Zhao's study.
Meng Tangtang estimated that he might be working at the moment, so he went out of the room to the tea table on the balcony.
It was probably the most hasty tea she'd ever made, and although it tasted really bad, she really didn't have time to brew it a second time.
.
After Qin Zhao finished processing the document in hand, he couldn't help but close his eyes and pinch the bridge of his nose.
In fact, he is not in a hurry to do these things now, and even his overtime during this period is actually not necessary, he just needs a reason to live here, and then ...... Approach her.
There were two knocks outside the door, Qin Zhao slowly opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Meng Tangtang standing there with a tray at the door.
She said to him a little embarrassedly, "I saw that you hadn't slept yet, so I made you a pot of tea and brought it in." ”
Qin Zhao smiled in his heart, but his face was still serious: "Thank you." ”
Meng Tangtang put the tray on the edge of the desk, poured a small cup of tea from the fair cup, and handed it over.
Qin Zhao took the teacup and took a sip.
The taste of this tea is a little worse than usual, and it is obvious that the person who made the tea was in a hurry when making the tea.
Qin Zhao put down the cup and sighed softly: "It's a pity." ”
Meng Tangtang was a little embarrassed, "Today...... It's a little bit worse today, so I'm going to make you a new pot. ”
After saying this, Meng Tangtang picked up the tray and prepared to leave.
Qin Zhao grabbed her hand: "I'm not saying that it's a pity to make tea, you don't have to rebrew it." ”
Meng Tangtang's eyes fell on Qin Zhao's hand, and his face began to show signs of heat.
Qin Zhao quickly let go of his hand, and then explained: "It's a pity that I won't be able to drink such good tea when I work overtime late at night in the future." ”
Meng Tangtang's face had just calmed down a little, but he was suddenly ignited by this sentence.
What does he mean by that?
Is he implying something?
Meng Tangtang didn't know how to answer, so he could only smirk.
Qin Zhao saw Meng Tangtang's series of reactions, and those speculations in his heart dissipated at once.
She was really upset.
Sure enough, she began to be attracted to herself.
So what should he do next?
……
"You ......"
"You ......"
The two people who coincidentally chose to remain silent opened their mouths at the same time.
Qin Zhao stopped first and motioned to Meng Tangtang to speak first.
Meng Tangtang took a slight breath, and then said, "Mr. Qin, when are you going to rest?" This tea won't last long, if Mr. Qin is late, I'll come over and change some hot tea for Mr. Qin later. ”
Qin Zhao stood up from the office chair and walked in front of Meng Tangtang: "I've finished dealing with today's affairs, if Teacher Meng doesn't have anything else to do next, we might as well go and sit at the tea table?" ”
"I've been drinking Mr. Meng's tea for so long, but I haven't seen Mr. Meng when he makes tea."
Meng Tangtang lowered his head embarrassedly and pulled his hair: "...... All right. ”
Qin Zhao bypassed Meng Tangtang and walked out of the study first.
Meng Tangtang smelled a burst of fragrance as he passed by sideways.
A...... It's a familiar fragrance.
Meng Tangtang's heart suddenly jumped violently.
She was sure she hadn't smelled it before, but why? Why does it seem like she has this smell in her memory?
It's this strange feeling again.
It's like the first time I saw Qin Zhao.
It's like the last time I heard Qin Zhao say that.
It's like ......
Meng Tangtang felt that something was wrong.
Obviously, she and Qin Zhao have only known each other for a short time, and it is the first time that many things have happened, how can she have such a strong sense of familiarity?
Don't......
Could it be that his liking for Qin Zhao has reached the point where he hallucinates?
If that's really the case, she's too nymphomaniac, right?
.
Qin Zhao turned around to look for Meng Tangtang and found that she was standing in place, as if she was thinking.
So...... Did she smell it?
So...... Not only did she smell it, but she also had a big reaction?
If this is the case, it is not in vain that he spent so much money and energy to find someone to develop this perfume that is not sold on the market.
Qin Zhao took two steps back and asked with concern, "Teacher Meng, what's wrong with you?" ”
Meng Tangtang shook his head with a smile and returned to normal.
Qin Zhao turned around and continued to walk towards the balcony, and Meng Tangtang followed him by the next step.
It was a very faint smell, and it could only be smelled when you were very close to him.
So, it can't be a perfume smell.
It's not that she hasn't had such close contact with Qin Zhao before, maybe she smelled it before, but she didn't pay so much attention to him at that time, so she didn't pay attention to this smell?
If that's the case, it would explain why she feels 'déjà vu'.
After doing this psychological achievement, Meng Tangtang no longer dwelled on the taste, but concentrated on his affairs.
.
This is the first time I have done a 'tea art show' for him in front of Qin Zhao.
Although it was already a process that was too familiar to be cooked, she was actually a little nervous today.
I forgot to put a tea drain when pouring tea......
When the 'oolong entered the sea', I almost poured the first tea into the fair cup instead of the sea of tea......
She skipped the step of putting the cup on her chest and comparing her heart......
……
Qin Zhao stared intently at Meng Tangtang's every move and every move, and it was obvious that she was unnatural.
As he took the teacup from her, he decided to add another fire to her heart.
"What Xiaoxiang said this afternoon...... I don't know if I offended Mr. Meng? ”
Meng Tangtang's hand holding the teacup shook, and the tea spilled out at once.
She hurriedly put down the teacup and took the tea towel to wipe it.
Even more flustered than her movements was her heart.
Qin Zhao saw that she was flustered, so he didn't want to stop: "If his words really offend Teacher Meng, please forgive me." ”
Meng Tangtang hurriedly settled down by folding the tea towel: "Xiao Xiang him...... He's just a child, and he has no taboo words~ and...... And how could an excellent person like Mr. Qin be 'offended'? ”
Qin Zhao grabbed her words and asked, "...... What do you mean? ”
Meng Tangtang wanted to take it back, but it was too late now.
In that case, she was ready to break the jar.
Meng Tangtang leaned over, refilled him with a cup of hot tea, and said, "I mean, if I can get involved with someone as good as Mr. Qin, it will definitely be me who 'offended' you, not you who 'offended' me." ”
Qin Zhao followed her hand, his gaze slowly moved up, and finally stopped on her face.
He raised an eyebrow, and the corners of his lips rose a little.
He said, "Why do you bother...... Arrogant? ”
