The aunt's state was a little strangely excited, as if she had finally pulled the little sister to open her pajamas and couldn't be idle, so she took Tang Qi to the bathroom when she entered the door and asked her to change her clothes and take a bath.
I also stuffed a box for her.
He first took out a purple-red ball-shaped item from it, and the fragrance hit people: "This essential oil bath bomb was recommended by the little sister at the front desk in my store, I just bought it back for a few days, you go and try it, I'm next door." โ
was pushed into the bathroom, Tang Qi poked his head out before closing the door and reminded: "Auntie, the cake hasn't been put in the refrigerator yet......"
"Got it, I'll put it away."
After taking a bath, Tang Qi came out with the new pajamas that her aunt bought for her, and found her aunt leaning on the sofa in the living room, holding a goblet in her hand, and most of the wine in the bottle had been drunk.
The living room is too spacious, and the floor lamp only illuminates a corner of the area.
A strong woman with a smooth career during the day, sitting in the lonely light, without makeup, with hazy drunkenness in her eyes.
The aunt raised her hand and beckoned Tang Qi: "Xiaoxing, come and sit." โ
I called her nickname again, and it seems that I really drank too much.
The mobile phone was still on the shoe cabinet in the entrance, Tang Qi forgot for a moment that he planned to send a message to Wen Bailing, and sat down with his aunt's words: "The pajamas fit very well, I like it so much, thank you, auntie." โ
"What else do you say to your aunt, thank you or not."
The aunt took the red wine and filled the goblet, and raised her head to drink most of the glass.
I was shooting at a wine estate before, and the English tips on the wall wrote the steps of wine tasting.
Tang Qi's English grades are very good, and I went to see it with the mentality of increasing knowledge, to smell the fragrance, shake the cup and see the wall, it is not such a cow drink at all.
Auntie doesn't seem to be tasting now, but like using alcohol to dilute her exhaustion.
"Our little apricots have also grown up."
Sometimes my aunt is very much like my mother, and she also likes to nag people-
"If you look for a boyfriend in the future, you have to keep your eyes open."
"Find someone who is sincere, loves you, and is good to you."
"It doesn't matter if it's money or not, my aunt is rich, and my aunt's new store has made money~"
It's a good thing to make money, but my aunt's eyes were moist, and she pulled Tang Qi and muttered: "Xiaoxing, don't be like me......"
Tang Qi always stayed by her aunt's side, watching her drink a lot of wine, and listening to her talking drunk at all times.
She remembered that many years ago, she and her mother answered a call from her aunt back from the capital in her hometown, and her aunt's voice was very excited, saying how prosperous and developed the big city was.
"Sister, if only I could find a stable job here and settle in the capital for the rest of my life."
Now it seems that my aunt's wish has come true, and she likes work, high-end housing, and exquisite life.
But she didn't seem to be happy.
Tang Qi felt sorry for her aunt, and she also wiped her tears, constantly pondering in her heart that some of her aunt's unhappiness was due to the pressure of starting a business, and some of it was brought by the "scumbag" who stole fish.
When I saw Wen Bailing's message, it was already late at night.
After more than ten hours of train travel and spending most of the day in her aunt's shop, her mobile phone and power bank both went on strike. After connecting to the charger and restoring the power on state, the phone rang twice in a row.
Tang Qi noticed Wen Bailing's unhappiness, thought about explaining it well, and seriously typed in a long text, like a small composition.
It was too late, her thinking was chaotic, and the sentences she typed out were long-winded, and she wanted to delete them, but her brain twitched and pressed the wrong send button, and she sent them directly.
There is no withdrawal function for text messages, and it is late at night, she is afraid that what she will send again will make people noisy, so after thinking about it, she still decided to wake up and talk about it.
During the winter vacation, Tang Qi had already lost the habit of getting up early, and slept until he didn't know what time it was, and he heard the door "slam" shut, and he woke up from a dream that he couldn't remember the plot.
My aunt had already gone out, and there were only two slippers left in the hallway.
I left her a note, saying that she had urgent work and would only come back in the evening.
Tang Qi wandered around the empty room for half a circle with nothing to do, suddenly remembered Wen Bailing, and ran back to the bedroom to rummage through his phone.
There is a reply message from Wen Bailing on the phone.
It's even worse than her routine, it was already one o'clock in the night when she sent a message last night, and he replied at three o'clock.
The content is only one sentence, "Call me back when you wake up".
Wen Bailing sat on the terrace for a long time, and only received a call from Tang Qi at ten o'clock.
I wanted to pretend to be indifferent and deliberately tease her, but I picked up the phone and listened to her ask him nervously, "Are you a little unhappy", her voice was nervous, Wen Bailing suddenly smiled: "It's still the squad leader, get up so late?" โ
โ...... I slept late yesterday. โ
Tang Qi is like a soft persimmon, he doesn't talk back when he is complained, and he cares kindly: "Look at the time you replied to the message, and you slept so late, did you already get up?" โ
"Yes, I don't pay attention to people when I meet them, and no one responds to the messages I send, so I'm so angry that I can't sleep well."
He remembered that when she coaxed her roommate, she would especially say, but when she came to him, she was speechless, so she said, "Don't be angry, okay."
In fact, Wen Bailing was not really angry.
What's going on with her aunt, I'm afraid he knows better than Tang Qi.
After getting in touch, he was in a good mood at this time, and teased her jokingly: "Don't avoid suspicion with me today?" Aren't you afraid of being heard by your aunt? โ
Tang Qi said that her aunt went out, leaving her alone at home.
So Wen Bailing naturally sent out an invitation: "Didn't you have breakfast?" It just so happened that I hadn't eaten yet, so I came downstairs to my house and ate together. โ
Tang Qi hesitated a little: "...... Inconvenient, right? โ
"It's so inconvenient, I don't have anyone here to avoid suspicion."
"Then you wait for me, I haven't washed yet, I'll go to you when I'm ready."
After hanging up the phone, the friend who stayed at Wen Bailing's house last night appeared with the head of the chicken nest.
My friend poured half a bottle of mineral water before he asked him, "Who did you just call?" Brother Baiqi? โ
"It's not him, it's someone else."
"Oh, I thought Brother Bai Qi came to scold you."
My friend got a haircut and chatted with Wen Bailing about his return to China: "You don't have to avoid it every year, there are so many girls, you don't have any of them?" โ
Every spring, two elderly people in the family celebrate their birthdays in a row, and it will always be lively for ten days and a half months.
A number of elders who have made good friends on weekdays get together, and the topic is not new, it is nothing more than to talk about business, and then talk about the little things of each family.
At the end of the conversation, he would always go around to Wen Bailing, wanting to match him with his girlfriend.
Wen Bailing is annoyed by this topic.
This time it was especially true that I flew back on the night of the birthday banquet, and I couldn't see it.
When asked by a friend at this time, he was irritable.
It's okay to say that it's okay to be friends, but it's okay to fall in love and get married. It's not that he hasn't seen those people before, some of them have known each other since childhood, so if he calls, he still needs to wait for the elders to introduce him?
When she said this, Wen Bailing suddenly raised her head and glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window on the fifth floor.
"What are you looking at?"
Friend's surname is Fei, and his name is Fei Yuzhi.
It's not unreasonable for Fei Yu to call "a lot of nonsense", there are really a lot of words, and when she heard this, Bai Ling looked upstairs and had already made up a big drama in her brain.
The man simply ran to the terrace, dragged a chair and sat down, and asked gossipily: "The one who lives on the fifth floor is still the grandson?" โ
"Hmm."
"What's the matter, let's go to him for a fight?"
โ...... Are you idle? โ
The person they are talking about is Han Hao.
Han Hao was very flamboyant last year, and spent a lot of money to buy a five-story residence in this building at a higher price, for the women who supported him, and he was still chattering on the wine table, saying that Wen Bailing only lived on the third floor, and he could suppress Wen Bailing.
No one in their circle engages in this kind of childish trick, and it is rare to meet such a neurotic, like "leprosy โกโก lying on the feet", which does not bite but is quite disgusting.
Wen Bailing didn't care much about this.
He went to school abroad, and he had little time to return to China, and he was not the only one with this property.
He rarely came to live here before, and I don't know when it started last year, but this place has become one of his most frequent properties.
I don't like Han Hao, but I always live here, and this operation is really incomprehensible.
What Fei Yuzhi didn't understand was more than that.
He took the boiling teapot in front of Wen Bailing, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and asked, "By the way, you bought the little broken car you saw in the garage last night?" โ
"What's wrong?"
"I find that I can't understand you more and more, why did you suddenly buy such a cheap car? In your community, the parking spaces are more than 200,000 more expensive than that car, right? โ
It's the white car.
Wen Bailing smiled: "It's convenient to open." โ
When his friend wanted to ask something again, he "hissed", annoyed that it was noisy, and asked his friend why he had so many questions, and whether he could be quieter.
Fei Yuzhi and Wen Bailing are the same age, and their birthday months are also close to each other, so they originally called each other by name, but in the past few days, Fei Yuzhi "ran away from home" and lived in Wen Bailing's house.
Rubbing to eat, drinking, and rubbing, the mouth is sweet every day, and when you open your mouth, you can hear Brother Wen long and Brother Wen short.
Hearing Bai Ling say this, Fei Yuzhi immediately made a movement to zip his mouth, indicating that he could be quiet.
But it was quiet for a few minutes.
After drinking a cup of tea, Fei Yuzhi couldn't help but raise his hand: "Last question, Brother Wen, you have been sitting here all morning, don't you really feel cold?" โ
In the capital in early March, the weather was not so warm.
The willows have not yet sprouted new shoots, the locust trees are full of bare branches, and even the swallows that flew to the south for the winter have not yet returned, but Wen Bailing has been wearing a cashmere scarf on the unsealed terrace and sitting for a long time.
He didn't say whether it was cold or not, just glanced upstairs again.
By the floor-to-ceiling window on the fifth floor, there happened to be a particularly familiar figure.
Tang Qi was wearing a full set of green pajamas, baring his foamy teeth, brushing his teeth and going downstairs.
Wen Bailing picked up the teacup and raised her hand to Tang Qi upstairs.
The girl upstairs probably didn't expect to be seen, her expression was visibly flustered, she waved her hand at him indiscriminately, and the person ran away from the window and disappeared.
Wen Bailing chuckled, and was heard by Fei Yuzhi beside him, and he also looked upstairs.
I didn't see anything, but the breeze blew, and Fei Yuzhi shivered, wrapped his nightgown tightly and asked him, "No, you're really not cold?" Can't we go into the house and drink tea? โ
Wen Bailing didn't move: "If it's cold, you can go in, and talk to me here." โ
