Chapter 82: Watching the Moon and the Stars
"Mother, why don't you eat it?" After eating half a bowl, Mrs. Zhou put down her chopsticks and pressed her cheeks with her hands from time to time.
"I don't have much appetite, you can eat!"
When Aunt Zhou returned to the room, Zhou Kuiruo asked, "Mother is uncomfortable again?" ”
"Probably not, when I first helped me, I was in good spirits, and when I was eating, I was like this." Thinking of Aunt Zhou's action of pressing her cheeks just now, Chun Tao thought of an unlikely possibility.
Zhou Kuiruo put down the dishes and chopsticks and had no heart to eat.
"I was thinking..."
Chun Tao stopped halfway through speaking, and Zhou Kuiruo urged: "Say whatever you think!" ”
"Will it have a toothache? Keep pressing your cheeks, aren't you? ”
Zhou Kuiruo recalled the clip just now, "Toothache? ”
"And..."Chun Tao slurred, causing Zhou Kuiruo to turn his head to look at her. I gave the freshly made dried peaches, sweet. ”
Zhou Kuiruo frowned, not agreeing with Chun Tao's speculation. "My mother is not a three-year-old child, how can she have tooth decay when she washes in the morning and evening."
"I'm guessing too, why don't you ask."
Zhou Kuiruo picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, "Go ahead!" ”
Why? That's not my mother. "I think you'll know if you ask. I asked, not necessarily. ”
"You said the opposite, my mother won't tell me this kind of thing. Also, you will give your mother less sweet snacks in the future. ”
Chun Tao reluctantly withdrew her eyes of refusal. Forget it, I gave the thing, and since there was a problem, I naturally solved it.
Chun Tao got up and was about to enter the house, when Zhou Kuiruo took her hand. "Finish your meal before you go."
"Good!" Chun Tao withdrew his hand and moved slightly in the opposite direction of Zhou Kuiruo.
Regarding Chun Tao's self-righteous evasion, Zhou Kuiruo saw it in his eyes.
"Knock knock~" Chun Tao finished eating, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and knocked on Aunt Zhou's door.
"Come in! The door is not bolted. So, Chun Tao pushed the door and went in.
"What's wrong? Come, sit. Aunt Zhou patted the position next to her, and Chun Tao sat down.
"It's just..."Why don't you be polite first!" You... You okay? ”
"It's okay, you don't have to worry."
After hesitating for a while, Chun Tao still asked directly. "Hmm~ you have a toothache?"
Aunt Zhou was slightly stunned and asked, "How do you know?" ”
"Look at your cheeks, guess."
"It's a little painful, but it's all old problems."
This isn't the first time! Chun Tao thought about it, and didn't say hello to Aunt Zhou, opened her snack cabinet, and took out all the things inside.
"You... What are you doing here? Aunt Zhou hurriedly stood up, wanting to stop Chun Tao, but unfortunately Chun Tao walked too fast. Aunt Zhou could only follow Chun Tao all the time, pulling and dissuading.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Kuiruo heard Aunt Zhou's anxious voice and followed him out to check.
Aunt Zhou withdrew the hand that was holding Chun Tao's coat, and said with a smile: "It's nothing." ”
Zhou Kuiruo frowned and looked at Chun Tao, and the afterglow swept to the things in her arms. "What are you hugging here?"
"Snack." Chun Tao glanced at Aunt Zhou vaguely.
"Mother, you really... Toothache? Zhou Kuiruo asked carefully.
Aunt Zhou seemed a little embarrassed, "This... Here you go, I'm in. ”
The two of them looked at Aunt Zhou's rapidly disappearing back and were stunned for a while, and Zhou Kuiruo looked back at Chun Tao.
"Didn't you say that?" Chun Tao replied with an innocent look.
Zhou Kuiruo couldn't help but smile when she looked at her. "I didn't expect that my mother really had a toothache. Take it into our room! My mother won't come to our room to get it. With that, he turned around and left.
In the evening, Zhou Kuiruo went to the carpenter's house to pay the balance and retrieve the dinner plate, while Chun Tao did yoga for a while, and then went to wash his hair.
When Zhou Kuiruo came back, she was sitting at her desk, looked at her hair that was still dripping, and asked, "Why don't you dry it?" ”
"Just wiped it." Chun Tao concentrated on her own thing and did not raise her head.
"Squeak~" The sound of the wooden door switch did not attract Chun Tao's attention, and after a while, the sound of the wooden door switch was heard again.
"Huh?" Chun Tao felt that her hair was being tugged, and she finally came back to her senses.
Chun Tao stretched out her hand to pull her hair back, and looked at Zhou Kuiruo in horror. "You are..."
"I'll do it myself!" Chun Tao saw Zhou Kuiruo's movements clearly with difficulty.
"You do yours, it's done quickly." Chun Tao was still indifferent and insisted on the cloth that Zhou Kuiruo was holding.
"Turn around!" Zhou Kuiruo's face suddenly changed, and he ordered Chun Tao solemnly.
Chun Tao is a person who eats hard and not soft, Zhou Kuiruo is fierce, immediately sit down, don't make noise or make trouble, and let him toss his hair.
However, the body is under control, but her heart has been anxious because of Zhou Kuiruo's intimate behavior, but she doesn't know that Zhou Kuiruo is snickering behind her back.
My hair is still so dry. Zhou Kuiruo gently wiped Chun Tao's hair, looking at her still dry and yellow hair, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Alright." Finally, Chun Tao ended her torture and escaped from Zhou Kuiruo's clutches.
Zhou Kuiruo put the cloth away and returned to the room. "Do you want to go out for a walk, there is no wind in the house, and your hair is not easy to dry."
"No, there's always someone watching when you go out." Thinking of the last time the three of them took a walk after dinner, Chun Tao subconsciously refused.
"Then go and sit in the yard! You don't want to wash your hair at night in the future. ”
"Hmm!" But after more than 30 years of habits, Chun Tao still can't change it for a while. "Then sit outside!"
The two of them sat on the chairs used for eating in the courtyard and looked at the stars in the sky together.
The unique croaking of frogs and insects in the countryside decorates the silent moonlit night, and the flickering stars dot the black hole sky.
Looking at the starry sky, Chun Tao suddenly said, "If only the stars were all silver." ”
"Poof!" The good atmosphere was broken all of a sudden, Zhou Kuiruo tilted his head and kept laughing, leaving only a trembling back to Chun Tao.
It's just a casual remark, is it so funny? Chun Tao flicked her hair boringly, letting the summer night wind dry the water droplets on the tips of her hair.
Zhou Kuiruo finally stopped laughing and stared at Chun Tao's side face for a while before continuing to look up at the sky.
In this way, the two returned to a relatively silent state, admiring the moon and the stars.
After a long time, Zhou Kuiruo suddenly broke this state. "I ordered a chair."
"Hmm!" There are really not many chairs in the Zhou family, but why do you want to tell me about the custom-made chairs?
The next words made Chun Tao very sure that Zhou Kuiruo said this on purpose, which made her feel guilty. "I can finally use my desk."
"I'm sorry!" Chun Tao has been occupying Zhou Kuiruo's desk, causing him to curl up beside the bed and read by the faint candlelight.
"So, we don't have any money anymore."
"It's a new generation of Moonlight Clan! If you have money, you will be gone. Chun Tao looked at the stars in the sky like thousands of broken silver, and expressed his inner feelings.
"What is the Moonlight Clan?"
"Hmm~ That's it..."Zhou Kuiruo asked, and Chun Tao reacted that he had said it. It's just that as soon as you have money, you spend it, and by the end of the month there is nothing left. ”
After listening to the explanation, Zhou Kuiruo nodded approvingly. "That's a fitting word."
"Hmm!" Chun Tao breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't notice that she was becoming more and more relaxed in front of Zhou Kuiruo, and many words in her heart would be said unconsciously.
Zhou Kuiruo should have been pleased with her performance, but for some reason, she was more worried in her heart.
