Chapter 49: A Hundred Turns and a Thousand Turns (1)

Li Yue'er

Chen Ran and I went back to our rented apartment. He held my hand tightly all the way, as if he was holding an extremely important thing. His palm has rough lines, and there is a natural thickness and depth on my hand. Occasionally he turned around, and I looked at him and smiled, and he would hold my hand tighter, but he would not speak. There is a slight hot sweat on the fingertips, greasy on his full fingertips, like holding a piece of warm jade, which makes people steady and stable. I lowered my head, remembering the words of the heart of Shicai and the kiss with his unique breath overwhelmingly, the first kiss was intoxicating, I didn't feel that my cheeks were flushed, like the moon season that bloomed in the afterglow of the sunset, a single branch, swaying waves, red and dazzling.

By the time the locksmith arrived, it was completely dark. By the dim light of the stairwell, he glanced at us and said, "People are busy with work now, and they are forgetful. While taking out the tools from the bag and knocking on them, he couldn't stop, "You guys are lucky, today my daughter-in-law asked me to wait for my son to get out of school, and I didn't confiscate the stall, otherwise you will find a locksmith at this point, this area," he Nunu shook his head, "It's difficult!" ”

I listened to him casually say two words, obviously misunderstood us, and the flush on my face couldn't help but deepen. Chen Ran didn't seem to care, and was even a little happy to see it, so he received it casually, "It's not master, I'm glad I found you today!" Otherwise, we'll have to stay in a hotel tonight! Looks like luck today! It's a good day! After saying that, he looked back at me meaningfully, and I heard the pun in his words, and I looked down and didn't realize it.

"Hey, rest assured, I have unlocked my bag, and I will ensure that you don't have to spend that unjust money!" The master was happy to be said by Chen Ran, and grinned, "Otherwise, how can you call the bag unlock?" You go and ask how many miles is here, who doesn't know the name of my bag unlocking, girl, is it the doorkeeper who gave you my phone number? I know him and I from the same village! ”

"Oh, so your real name is Bao?" Chen Ran smiled, "That's really a good name!" Yue'er, hurry up and write down the phone number of Master Renbao, in case there is another time to forget this and forget that, at least find someone to solve your urgent needs, so as not to wait stupidly like today! As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at me, and I knew that he was joking on purpose, but I obediently took out my phone and prepared to write down the call.

The bag master didn't realize it, wiped the sweat on his forehead, rubbed his hands twice on his body, took out a business card from the pocket of his clothes and handed it to Chen Ran, "Hehe, we also have business cards." He pointed to it and motioned to us, "Oh, I have everything here, pick the lock, fix the water pipe, poke the sewer...... We are all one-stop service, you are satisfied! Glancing at Chen Ran, he said with a smile, "My wife is forgetful, right?" Then you'll have to put my business card away! Hehe, women, it's all the same, and my mouth is the same, I only have my mouth to make me do this and that all day long, and I often lose everything! We men have to prepare everything for them! There's no way, who is our daughter-in-law, right? Although he complained, but listening to the tone of the master bag, he turned his head and said to me again, "Girl, pay more attention to yourself, so that your husband can worry about you!" ”

I was smiling and listening to Master Bao's neat introduction to his business, but I didn't expect to be suddenly instructed, I couldn't help but be stunned, and I didn't know how to distinguish white, my face was blue and red for a while, and I didn't answer, and I didn't answer. Sneaking a glance at Chen Ran, but seeing that he was also looking at me with a smile, he immediately turned his head, bit his lip, and was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

There was a vague force in his hand, and he raised his head to look at him, Chen Ran's smile was gentle and tolerant, and his clear eyes were full of sincerity, and I realized that after standing for so long, he had never let go of my hand. couldn't help but be moved, brushed the broken hair around his ears, and quietly held his hand back.

Master Bao quickly unlocked the lock, collected the wages and went happily. When Chen Ran entered the house, he found that there were no men's slippers at home, so he had to take his winter slippers and hand them to him, and said a little embarrassed: "There are no men's slippers at home, so I will wear them" Looking at the cartoon bear pattern on the upper of the shoe, I scratched my head embarrassedly, "Forget it, don't change it, anyway, I haven't cleaned it at home for a few days......"

"Change, why not?" Chen Ran took my slippers, put them on without saying a word, and stood on tiptoe to admire them. I looked at him a big man wearing a pair of pink cartoon slippers on his feet, I felt very funny, and I couldn't help but laugh, but Chen Ran didn't seem to care, while putting down his handbag, approached me and said, "I'm afraid you have men's slippers at home!" It's good if you don't have it! I'll just buy a pair and bring it with me another day. ”

My face was burning hot, and so much had happened today, looping in my mind like a fast-forward frame. Chen Ran, who was the eldest brother a few hours ago, said such intimate words to me at the moment by my side in my apartment, which made me feel like I was in a trance, as if it was just a sweet dream, full of unreality, but I could hear everything around me endlessly. For a while, I couldn't tell where the reality was and where the dream was, but the sweetness and warmth flowing in the bottom of my heart made people want to wake up.

"Hungry, huh? Is there any stock in the fridge? I'll cook. Chen Ran's voice pulled me back into my trance, only to see him wash his hands naturally, open the refrigerator, look inside, shake his head and say, "Yue'er, you are really good at yourself, except for a few eggs and two tomatoes, there is nothing!" Turning his head to me, he frowned, "How can this be done!" You are so dedicated to Kairan, but so careless to yourself, no wonder you are so thin! He took my hand and sighed, "Do you want me to be the boss to praise you or blame you?" Well, forget it, I'll go out and buy some groceries. He found the pots and pans, skillfully washed the rice, put the water, put it on the stove, turned on the fire, and instructed, "I'll cook the rice first, you watch the fire, turn off the water when it is boiling, and I'll go out to buy some food and come back." He untied his apron and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

I looked at him calmly, as if I was really his family, he was just preparing an ordinary dinner for me, so natural, so familiar, even a few words of reproach, but also full of pity and affection.

The first time I saw Chen Ran in his private life, it seemed to be far from him at work, but it was firmly overlapped, his kindness, his care, and his consideration for others were exactly the same as the Mr. Chen and the eldest brother I knew. And now, all of this is for me, from the time I called him "Chen Ran", all the deliveries I made with him had a target and meaning, even my small old apartment, because of his arrival for the first time, had a touch of bright colors that I had never seen before, and I even felt a little selfishly in my heart that this place seemed to be my home with him.

Suddenly, I was moved, I couldn't help but reach out my hand, hugged Chen Ran who was passing by from behind, and blurted out, "Don't go."

felt his body stiffen, followed by a soft laugh, "Silly girl, I'm not leaving, I'll go buy some food and come back, good, wait for me"

As if I had fallen into a Gu, I wrapped my arms around his waist, put my face quietly on his back, and suddenly wanted to be willful, "Don't, just make scrambled eggs with tomatoes," paused, and I whispered word by word, "I don't want you to go"

A heavy sigh came, but it seemed that his breath was unstable, Chen Ran slowly turned around, stared at me, his eyes seemed to have a handful of lake water that could not be dissolved, he smiled slightly, picked up a strand of hair scattered in his ear for me, "silly girl", and scraped my nose with his hand, "Okay, I won't go."

I lowered my head and laughed eatingly, dimples on my cheeks, Chen Ran rubbed my hair, and whispered softly in my ear, "As long as I am with my Yue'er, coarse tea and light rice are better than delicacies from the mountains and seas......"

I pursed my lips and snickered, but my heart was as sweet as honey, let him take my shoulder, gently kissed me on the forehead, he led me to the sofa to sit down, and said softly, "Girl, I'm tired today, you take a rest first, I'll fry the dishes, let's eat together"

I nodded obediently, but how could I sit down on the sofa, get up and go to the kitchen, leaning against the door and looking at the busy people inside, tying my apron and wearing my slippers, skillfully beating eggs, stirring, oiling, stir-frying, and stirring, all in one go, while methodically taking care of the rice next to me. In just a few minutes, a plate of scrambled eggs with red and yellow tomatoes is steamed, accompanied by soft and thick stemmed rice, which is full of aroma and whets the appetite. I can't help but move, such a peaceful appearance of fireworks in the world, it happened to me so quickly, like a dream, but even if it is a dream, at least I have seen it, there is a person in this world who is willing to wash his hands and make soup for me, this person is my lover, is there anything more touching than this?

Looking back at me, Chen Ran didn't seem surprised, pointed to the only dish on the stage and said with a smile, "You said that you won't let me buy vegetables, don't blame me if you don't have enough to eat later."

I smiled and shook my head, "If I can't eat enough, I will drink water"

Thinking that he didn't understand what I meant, he raised his eyebrows, "Can you drink enough water?" ”

"Haven't you heard of being full of water?" I winked at him.

He was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, "Little girl is eccentric" turned around and picked up the food and said to me, "Give me a poor mouth, and punish you for taking the dishes and chopsticks!" ”

I stuck out my tongue and said, "Okay, boss, the subordinates take orders," and both of them burst out laughing.

As soon as the meal was served, Chen Ran and I sat opposite each other, the sky was completely dark, and every household in the community was lit up with warm lights, like a star holding up in the world, warm and moving. The room was so quiet that I could hear a needle dropping, Chen Ran looked at me, and said very solemnly, "Yue'er, after such a long time, today is the first time I have cooked for you, how much it means to me, do you know?" After a pause, he continued, "I just hope that for all the rest of my life, I can always be the person who is qualified to cook for you like I am today." ”
