Chapter Seventy-Nine: He's the One I Like
As soon as Duan Jin Cheng left, Chen Qingwu couldn't help but eat a string of oden first.
The phone shook in her pocket.
She opened it, it was Duan Jin Cheng's message, he handed her the order card of the bubble tea shop, and asked her what she wanted to drink.
Chen Qingwu ordered a glass of lime water, she actually wanted to drink milk tea, but she was afraid of drinking a drink with tea, and she couldn't sleep at night, she hadn't slept well for several nights, and she didn't want to lose sleep tonight.
After a while, Duan Jin Cheng came over with two glasses of lime water.
He slipped one of the cups into a straw and handed it to her.
"Thank you."
Chen Qingwu took a sip of lime water and found that it was hot!
"Why is it hot?"
Isn't lime water supposed to be cold and cold, and a sip of it will make people feel refreshed?
"Your period is over?"
It's not over, today is the fourth day.
But so what?
Chen Qingwu is angry, it is her menstrual period, not his!
Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, nosy!
"If you have any grievances, tell them to your face." Duan Jin Cheng glanced at her.
"Nope."
"Really? I feel like you're writing a little essay to slander me."
I'm afraid this person doesn't know how to read minds.
Chen Qingwu smiled: "How can it be, you are also good for me."
"If only you knew."
She put the lime water aside, and when she saw that he didn't do anything, she used a bamboo skewer to prick two thumbs from the snack bag and fry it, and handed it to him: "Taste it, the freshly fried raw fried base is still crispy, and the taste is very fragrant."
Duan Jin Cheng didn't answer, and his face was full of resistance.
How high the heat must be for the raw fried in this way!
"Taste it!" Chen Qingwu directly put the raw fry to his mouth.
Duan Jincheng suddenly thought of the scene at the gate of the hospital that year, when he was so hungry that she fed the buns to his mouth one by one.
Over the years, he has tasted countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, but nothing can compare to the few steamed buns that were already cold back then.
"Don't eat and pull down."
Seeing that he didn't move, Chen Qingwu ran out of patience and was about to withdraw his hand, but he grabbed the back of his hand.
"You ......"
Duan Jin Cheng held her hand and pulled it in front of him, and directly bit off the two raw fried.
Chen Qingwu snatched his hand out of his palm, and his cheeks and ears began to burn.
"What are you? Do you have to feed something?" She handed him the bamboo stick, turned her face away from his eyes, and said, "Eat it yourself!" I will not serve you!"
After speaking, she put on disposable gloves for herself and went to get the bridgehead ribs to eat.
This bridgehead pork ribs are fried crispy and crispy, and they are crunchy when you bite into it.
Duan Jincheng was already so hungry that he was not hungry, but after being aroused by the two raw fried, he also began to accompany her to eat without a match.
Not to mention, the taste of this street food is fragrant.
Or maybe it's because the people around him eat well that he feels fragrant.
"Cheers?" Chen Qingwu picked up the lime water and toasted at him.
Duan Jin Cheng smiled and picked up the lime water to clink glasses with her.
He doesn't remember the last time he sat in the open air and ate a street snack like this, or maybe he had never had a moment of relaxation in his life.
The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals.
In the eyes of others, he is an unreachable star, and only by her side can he be a mortal.
It was always her who could heal him and warm him.
---
There are so many things, and the two of them actually ate them all in the end.
Duan Jincheng threw the garbage bag into the trash can, turned his head and asked Chen Qingwu, "Where do you live?"
"I'll take a taxi to my accommodation, you can go back."
"Where?"
"Chu City, or the hotel, wherever you go back." Chen Qingwu took out his mobile phone and prepared to take a taxi, and said to him, "I'll take you to eat and drink enough, don't follow me anymore."
"Chu Cheng can't go back, it's too late, it's dangerous to drive long distances while fatigued." Duan Jincheng said.
"Then go and stay in a hotel, the most upscale hotel in Qinghe is Junting, you can go and stay there for big stars."
"I don't have an ID card, so I can't stay in a hotel."
"How can someone go out without an ID card?" Chen Qingwu didn't believe it.
"My ID card is with Hutu, and I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to take it."
He is a star, and Hutu usually arranges all kinds of itineraries, and he doesn't need to do it himself at all for things that require ID cards to buy tickets and book hotels.
To be honest, he had almost forgotten what the photo on his ID card looked like.
"Then if you don't go back to Chu City tonight, where will you sleep?"
"Where do you live?"
Chen Qingwu was alarmed in his heart, he wouldn't rely on himself again!
"Duan Jincheng, don't go too far, you came with you and I didn't let you come, what's the matter? I don't care if you don't eat enough, and you still need to sleep?"
The corners of his lips hooked: "You want to sleep with me? What kind of sleep?"
"You ......"
Chen Qingwu is simply smoking, last night's incident shouldn't have been erased so easily! But she forgave him because she had hurt him too, she just wanted to smooth out the two sides, and definitely not acquiesced to him to tease her again and again.
Duan Jin Cheng saw that she was about to get angry, so he quickly explained: "You misunderstood, I asked you where you live to send you over, and it is not safe for you to take a taxi as a girl at night."
"What about you? Where do you sleep?" Chen Qingwu was very cautious, for fear that he would have some tricks.
"I'll just deal with it for one night in the car." His tone sounded sincere.
Chen Qingwu was silent.
The high-flying big star condescends to sleep in a rented car, and when he thinks about it like this, he can't bear it.
"Forget it, you can come with me." Chen Qingwu said.
"Reluctant? Do you care if I sleep?"
"Teacher Duan, I advise you to talk less. It takes a year to learn to speak, a lifetime to learn to shut up, talking too much will only hurt you, of course, if you really want to sleep in the car, you can still talk a few more words."
Duan Jincheng smiled and took out his mask and put it on, using practical actions to interpret "shut up".
Chen Qingwu did not stay in a hotel after coming to Qinghe, she stayed at a homestay opened by Zheng Siyue, the sister of her friend Zheng Sizhe, in this neighborhood.
Zheng Sizhe is the little apprentice of his grandfather Chen Changsheng, and he worships his grandfather as a teacher in the same year as Chen Qingwu, and the two are considered to be the same family. Although Zheng Sizhe has returned to Qinghe for development in recent years, and Chen Qingwu is far away in Chucheng, the relationship between the two has always been very good.
The B&B has three and a half floors, and there is a large courtyard, and the wisteria waterfall full of walls in the courtyard attracts many girls who love to take pictures every year to wear small white dresses to check in.
In addition to check-in at the front desk on the first floor, there is also a booth to display and sell Zheng Sizhe's nuclear sculptures.
When Chen Qingwu took Duan Jincheng into the courtyard, Zheng Siyue, the owner of the homestay, was sitting under the flower stand.
"Sister Yue." Chen Qingwu shouted.
Zheng Siyue put down the kindle in her hand and looked up: "I'm back."
"Hmm."
"Who is this?" Zheng Siyue looked at Duan Jin Cheng behind Chen Qingwu.
"My assistant, he came to deliver something to me, I forgot to bring my ID card in a hurry, Sister Yue, you see a favor, let him stay for one night, he will leave tomorrow." The assistant's lie Chen Qingwu has already come to his mouth.
There are rules in the B&B, and you can't stay without an ID card, but Zheng Siyue has known Chen Qingwu for many years, knows her personality, and believes that she will never bring messy people to the store.
"Okay, since it's your assistant, I'll arrange his room next door to you, right?"
"No!"
"Okay!"
Both of them spoke at the same time, but one was happy
Agree with a strong disagreement.
Zheng Siyue looked at Duan Jincheng with a little embarrassment, and then looked at Chen Qingwu: "Qingwu, this is ...... Is it going to work?"
Chen Qingwu didn't want Zheng Siyue to worry about it, so he nodded: "Okay, just according to the arrangement you said, Sister Yue."
"Okay."
---
Chen Qingwu and Duan Jincheng went upstairs.
As soon as they reached the second floor, they saw the sliding door of the terrace on the second floor push open from the outside, and a man entered the room from the shadows.
The man wears a white shirt T, and the left shoulder of T is embroidered with green bamboo, and his first feeling is as fresh and indifferent as green bamboo, with a kind of Zen temperament.
"Qingwu, why did you come back so late?" He walked in front of Chen Qingwu, and said the words to Chen Qingwu, but his eyes fell on Duan Jincheng's body.
"President Jiang is getting drunk, you know, he talks a lot when he drinks too much, and the bureau can't be dispersed, and I can't get out, so I'm late to come back."
The man nodded and looked at Duan Jincheng, "Who is this?"
"I...... My assistant." When Chen Qingwu faced this man, lying was obviously unfavorable.
"Jiajia left?"
This person knows President Jiang and knows Jiajia, and obviously has a lot to do with Chen Qingwu.
"No, it's a long story, I'll talk to you tomorrow, I'm tired today." Chen Qingwu yawned.
The man smiled dotingly, reached out and rubbed her heart, "Okay, go wash and sleep."
Chen Qingwu said "um", did not show any discomfort at all for the man's action, and even smiled at him, as if this was their inherent mode of getting along over time.
Duan Jin Cheng couldn't help but glance at this man more.
The man just raised his eyes to meet his gaze, so he nodded at Duan Jin Cheng, revealing a gentle smile.
Duan Jincheng also nodded.
"Go to bed early, good night." Chen Qingwu said.
"Good night."
The three parted by the terrace, and the man went up to the third floor.
Chen Qingwu walked to the front of his room, swiped the door with his room card, and glanced at Duan Jincheng, Duan Jincheng was carrying a black backpack, the brand's logo was very low-key and blended into this black, and the bag was stuffed with a bulging change.
"Go to bed early."
Chen Qingwu was about to enter the door, but Duan Jin Cheng grabbed the strap of the bag.
"What?" She glared back at him.
"Say goodnight to him, won't you say to me?"
Chen Qingwu was a little speechless, brushed his hand away, said "good night", and quickly entered the door and closed the door.
Duan Jin Cheng stood in place for a few seconds before opening the door and entering the next room.
Chen Qingwu hadn't slept well for a few days, and he thought that he could sleep more peacefully by changing the environment here today, but he didn't expect to make a mistake in recognizing the bed.
She couldn't sleep for a long time after taking a shower, and was about to get up to take a melatonin pill when there was a knock on the door.
Who's going to knock on the door at this point?
Chen Qingwu was alert for a moment, but thinking about it, Duan Jin Chengcheng was next door, and his heart was not so nervous.
She walked to the door and glanced into the cat's eye.
The person who knocked on the door was none other than Duan Jin Cheng, who lived next door to her.
Chen Qingwu opened the door.
Duan Jin Cheng was wearing a smoky gray silk pajamas with a very close texture, a row of buttons were neatly fastened, but he still revealed a vague outline of his chest muscles, and his whole person exuded a kind of vigorous and calm sexiness after being restrained.
"What's wrong?" Chen Qingwu herself was also wearing pajamas, and it was in a vacuum, she used the door to block half of her body, and looked at him with her head up.
"Did you bring the charger?"
"Huh?"
"I forgot my charger and my phone is dead."
"You dare to follow Qinghe without bringing anything?" She said and turned back to her room, thankfully she started charging her phone as soon as she entered the door, and the phone was already there
It was almost full, she unplugged the charger and handed it to Duan Jincheng, "Huh."
Duan Jincheng took the charger, but he still didn't leave at the door.
"Is there anything else?" Chen Qingwu asked, "It's okay, I'm closed."
He clasped his hand on the door, "Who was that man just now?"
It was late at night, and the hallway was so quiet that you could hear the wind outside the window sweeping through the treetops.
Chen Qingwu looked at Duan Jin Cheng, the light shone on his face, illuminating the hesitation and speculation in his eyes, she easily guessed a possibility, maybe he didn't have a charger at all, but he came to knock on the door because he couldn't sleep because of this problem.
It's definitely a perfect opportunity to add to last night's rejection with a booster shot.
"His name is Zheng Sizhe. I said I had someone I liked, and he was the person I liked."
---
Duan Jincheng returned to his room and put the charger on the bedside table, and on the bedside table, his mobile phone was there, showing that the battery was full.
Yes, he took his charger and used this excuse to knock on her door, because after he lay down, the image of the man raising his hand to rub Chen Qingwu's heart kept flashing back in his mind, and he scratched his heart to know who that man was.
As a result, Chen Qingwu gave him this answer, which was exactly the same as the answer he guessed in his heart.
It was as if I had finally been judged, and the feeling of my heart being hung in the air disappeared and was replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness.
From yesterday to just now, he always thought that she had someone she liked just to reject the lies he made up, but it turned out to be true, there really is such a person in Yushu Linfeng, and her familiarity and intimacy with him are natural, obviously not cultivated overnight.
"If you have someone you like, why do you want to go on a blind date?" That's the question he just asked her.
She said that the blind date was arranged by her mother, and she and Shen Jiayu had communicated in advance, and both of them knew that they had no intention of going on a blind date with each other, and they went to meet just to catch up.
Up.
This is also in line with her previous statement.
Duan Jincheng tried to find another loophole that she was just deceiving him, but he couldn't think of it anyway.
Ten years, not ten days.
In these long years, it is not surprising who she likes to be, not to mention that Zheng Sizhe who she saw just now is handsome and gentle, showing the calmness of a humble son in her gestures.
Duan Jin Cheng fell on the big bed, looking at the ceiling, completely insomnia.
On the other hand, even if Chen Qingwu swallowed melatonin, he didn't sleep well.
Duan Jin Cheng's injured eyes when he turned to leave made her feel the piercing pain when she rejected him again.
She tossed and turned on the bed, her left leg was extremely uncomfortable, and she didn't know if it was psychological, or if it was going to rain again?
When the sky is bright, melatonin comes into play.
But not long after she fell asleep, the alarm set by her mobile phone rang.
She agreed with Zheng Sizhe that she was going to visit the nuclear carving town today to prepare for next month's live broadcast.
Chen Qingwu struggled to get up, and as soon as he pushed open the window, he saw Zheng Sizhe sitting at a round table in the courtyard with glasses, holding a carving knife and an olive core, tinkering with something left and right.
"Zheng Sizhe, what are you doing?" Chen Qingwu shouted.
Zheng Sizhe looked up and saw that she was awake, and immediately beckoned to her: "Come down, help me see how these windows should be fitted."
Chen Qingwu went downstairs in slippers.
After Zheng Sizhe started his career, he has always had a dream, that is, to reproduce "The Story of the Nuclear Boat".
"The Story of the Nuclear Boat" is easy to memorize, but it is extremely difficult to carve it on a small olive core.
The texture of the olive core is hard and brittle, as long as a little force, the details of the work are flawed, and a work that has been carefully carved for many days or even months will be scrapped.
After thousands of tempers, he has gradually developed a feel for the body of the nuclear boat and the characters on the boat, but it is the most difficult for him
It was the movable windows on the boat, how to open the windows, and how to see the characters in the windows after opening, he pondered for a long time but didn't figure it out.
"If you want to install a window, you have to open the lattice in this position."
Chen Qingwu leaned over to Zheng Sizhe and gestured with his hand to the nuclear carving.
"It's hard to open, this position is already very thin, and if you don't open the position correctly, it's either broken, or the size is not suitable, and the window can't be fitted."
"It's definitely hard to open, if it's so easy to open, everyone can be Uncle Wang."
Zheng Sizhe laughed, "That makes sense."
The two of them came together head to head to study how to open the window lattice of this nuclear boat, and no one noticed that Duan Jin Cheng also got up by the window on the second floor, and he was coldly looking at the two people downstairs who were talking and laughing and leaning together.
