Chapter 31 031

After returning from the flower garden, half of the tents on the shore disappeared, and the tourists have left one after another.

But the sun is still shining, and the water on the lake is sparkling.

Cao An looked at his watch and asked Jiang Tao, "Play for another half an hour? Clean up at four o'clock."

Jiang Tao did have something to say.

Cao An moved the inflatable mattress outside the tent, let Jiang Tao sit on it to rest, and he went to the water to fix the fishing rod.

Looking away from his slender and straight back, Jiang Tao put his hands behind his waist for support, and looked into the distance in the gentle breeze.The pure blue sky is boundless, and it seems that you will not get tired of watching it for a day.

There was a sudden movement at the water's edge, and Jiang Tao turned her head to see Cao An retracting his pole and catching a small fish the size of a palm.

Jiang Tao moved closer to him.

Cao An: "Do you want to try?"

Jiang Tao shook his head, watching him throw the hook in again.

The fishing rod didn't move for a while, Cao An went to the backpack on the other side of the tent to get a box of playing cards, sat on the mattress, and called Jiang Tao: "Wait while you play?"

Jiang Tao: "What are you two playing?"

Cao An: "I'm still playing draw, and answer the questions if you lose."

Jiang Tao swayed a little, remembering the scene of being teased by him and grandma last time.

Cao An: "Don't worry, I won't ask too much."

Jiang Tao glared at him, but finally sat down, the two of them took out the king and the eight of hearts first, and only used half of the remaining cards, shortening the time for each round of card drawing.

In the decisive moment of the first round, seeing that Cao An was about to take away the nine of clubs from her side and leave her with an eight of hearts, Jiang Tao couldn't help but force her fingers tightly to hold the nine of clubs tightly.

Cao An glanced at her, turned on the water, and took away the Eight of Hearts next to her instead.

This time, it was time for Jiang Tao to draw from his three cards, and the probability of drawing the king, the eight of hearts, and the other nine were all one-third.

Jiang Tao tentatively found a card, and then looked at Cao An's face.

That ferocious wolf face was as steady as a mask, showing no flaws at all.

Jiang Tao randomly drew a card, and unexpectedly got nine!

She laughed so hard that her eyes were crooked, and she put down the two nines with a gloating look on her face.

Cao An was still very steady: "Ask."

Jiang Tao thought for a while and asked, "We've known each other for so long, what shortcomings do you think I have? At least say the same thing."

She was very curious about what Cao An saw of herself.

Cao An: "I can't answer this, because I really haven't found any shortcomings in you yet."

Jiang Tao didn't believe it.

Cao An worked hard: "Thin-skinned? But this is not a shortcoming, I am quite happy..."

"Shut up." Jiang Tao interrupted him sullenly, lowering her head to shuffle the cards.

Cao An looked at his girlfriend's flushed face: "Should I talk about my own shortcomings?"

Jiang Tao was still panicking: "It's okay."

Cao An: "You don't look like a good person."

Jiang Tao didn't know whether to laugh at his self-mockery or sympathize with him: "It's not something you can decide on your own, it doesn't count, it's about character."

Cao An was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Not as honest as you think?"

Jiang Tao: ...

The heat that had just faded from his face instantly burned back like a prairie fire.

Under the background that "not so honest" can mean that he likes to dig holes, but also can refer to his "dishonest body", Cao An's words are actually very ambiguous, if he looks ordinaryOne point, this sentence can be teasing or dirty, but Cao An has a fierce face, not exaggerating the fierceness of a boss with a strong aura, which gives people the effect that he is just analyzing himself honestly.

But Jiang Tao knew that he was probably just "teasing" her, which was very bad, but even the bad was calm and majestic, which made people wonder if he thought too much and misunderstood him.

His aura was all around him, even if he didn't have to look up, Jiang Tao knew that Cao An must be looking at her, like the black boss sizing up an ordinary woman who could be completely at his disposal, like a ferocious wolf condescendingly observing the weak prey in front of him.

The sense of danger brought by the natural fierce face and strong physique is always there. Sometimes Jiang Tao feels that she should stay away rationally, but she can clearly feel that the gentleman Cao An restrained himself and wrapped several chains around himself.The proof that he has no intention of hurting her is his sincerity in wanting to have a serious blind date and love with her.

This sincerity made her no longer afraid, and he was keenly aware of it, so he began to untie the chains one by one, testing her acceptance of his true face step by step.

Whether it's timid or thin-skinned, Jiang Tao was stimulated by his temptation at the moment, dropped the poker cards and ran to the lake, "enjoying the scenery" with his back turned to him.

Cao An didn't move, even though he had the right time, place, and even harmony to take her into the tent and occupy her forcefully at any time.

The scattered playing cards were folded into a perfect cuboid by the slender hands and put into the box.

During this process, some irregularities appeared in the cuboid composed of fifty-four cards, and a few cards on the edge stood upright, as if he did not want to be bound in the dark and narrow space.

Cao An lowered his eyes, and pressed down the cards one by one, until one side of the cuboid was restored to perfection and was sealed by the closed lid.

The sinking of the fishing rod broke the ambiguity between the lovers by the lake.

Cao An picked up the pole. This time he was lucky. It was a carp about two catties.

"Tell grandma, add braised fish at night?"

Cao An put the big fish into the fishing bucket, fished out the small ones and threw them back into the lake. He raised his head and said to Jiang Tao.

He looked as usual, Jiang Tao cooperated tacitly, and called grandma.

The car drove to the Heping Community, and it was almost half past five. Grandma prepared the dishes and asked Cao An to have dinner here.

Cao An was not polite, he took the fish to the kitchen to clean up, and Jiang Tao took his camera to the computer to organize the photos.

After eating, Cao An left.

Grandma went to the small square, and Jiang Tao sat on the sofa to share the progress of her relationship with her best friend, and sent a photo of her and Cao An.

Fang Rui called the video and said excitedly, "Boss Cao has finally become a regular?"

Jiang Tao: "It's fast for him, how do you call it finally?"

Fang Rui: "It's mainly because of his aura. It feels like taking you down is a matter of seconds, but he actually chased you for more than a month."

After inquiring about the process of Cao An's conversion, Fang Rui winked at Jiang Tao, leaned closer to the camera, and asked quietly: "We're all going camping, have you kissed?"

Jiang Tao's face was heated by her best friend's tone, but fortunately, she answered very easily: "No, I just held hands for a while."

Fang Rui said, "I can't. The tents are all set up. What a perfect place for a first kiss. Boss Cao didn't act? Some blind date men dare to talk after two meals. You are so soft, and Boss Cao is so domineering."..."

Jiang Tao: "He just looks domineering, and he's quite a gentleman."

Although occasionally a little dishonest, he said it was more like teasing her than actually putting it into action.

Fang Rui: "I don't believe it, let's bet, in the next month, Boss Cao will at least take away your first kiss, at most hehehehe."

Amidst the unscrupulous laughter of her best friend, Jiang Tao turned off the video.

The short vacation is over, and the first day continues to work.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Tao swiped his phone in his free time, but Cao An unexpectedly sent a photo of the waiting room of the general surgery department.

Jiang Tao: Are you in the hospital?

Cao An: Well, register to remove the stitches, just waiting for you after the removal.

Remove the stitches?

Jiang Tao didn't know what to say for a while, when a patient called from the ward, she put away her phone and hurried over.

At 5:10, Jiang Tao met Cao An in the hall.

"what did the doctor say?"

"Say I'm recovering well. As long as I don't do heavy physical labor, I can basically drive to work without any problem."

The two chatted a few words about the registration and got into the car.

Cao An also had to go to the company, but he refused the grandmother who was enthusiastic about leaving a meal.

If the date between the two of them was a bit romantic yesterday, today it only takes about half an hour to commute in the car.

But this is also normal, everyone has their own jobs and families, it is impossible to stick together like the couples in school days.

Fang Rui, who had a rare Saturday off, learned that Jiang Tao didn't have a date tonight, so she came to play with Jiang Tao.

"Boss Cao didn't ask you to remove the stitches for him?"

Fang Rui, who was about to eat a love melon, was very disappointed and unbelievable: "You helped him take care of his wounds when he was in the hospital, and now the relationship has improved, why should he not!"

Jiang Tao: "Maybe he doesn't want to be embarrassed, after all, he just got together and asked his girlfriend to help him deal with the lower abdominal wound. I can't open my mouth."

Fang Rui: "It shows that you have completely underestimated a man's thick skin. I had a blind date before, and he sent me a photo after he finished his fitness. I blocked him."

Jiang Tao: "...Cao An is not that kind of character."

Regardless of the appearance factor, Cao An's words and deeds are really a gentleman.

Fang Rui thought of Cao An's operation of preparing a skin and wrapping gauze, and burst out laughing: "Maybe your boss Cao is more innocent. Thinking about the contrast, this kind of contrast is quite cute!"

After chatting about feelings, work, and gossip, Fang Rui returned home with a smile when her grandma came back from the square dance.

Jiang Tao took a shower and came out to find that Cao An had sent a message. It was a photo of a black stone glistening in the sun, and a bright yellow dandelion blossomed on the ground next to it.

Jiang Tao: What is this?

Cao An: Some iron ore was dug out at the construction site today.

Jiang Tao knew that there used to be mines over there, and the iron ore had been mined away, leaving pits, so there must be a small amount of unmined remnants.

Jiang Tao: It's pretty pretty.

Cao An: This one looks good, and think of you when see it.

Just now, he was wondering why his boyfriend took a picture of Jiang Tao, which Shitou sent to him, when he was suddenly blushed by this unprepared sweet talk.

After calming down for a while, Jiang Tao took the initiative to ask about the removal of the stitches: Why didn't you go to the small clinic to remove them?There is still a queue for hospital registration.

Cao An: I was going to pick you up too, so let's drop by.

Jiang Tao bit her lip, still embarrassed to ask the most crucial question.

New news jumped out, Cao An: Will you remove the stitches?

Jiang Tao slowly organized her words: Yes, but definitely not a doctor.

Cao An: guessed it, thought about asking you to help.

After Jiang Tao read this line, she also saw herself reflected in the screen, her face was flushed, and her eyes seemed to be more moist than usual.

She silently watched the message she sent: Then why didn't you ask me?Otherwise I can save you some money.

Cao An: Some things are more meaningful than saving money.

Jiang Tao: What's the matter?

Cao An: Let me prove that I am not as dishonest as you think.

Jiang Tao put down her phone and got under the quilt.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Cao An stood in front of the black jeep and watched his girlfriend walk towards the entrance through the kitchen glass. After a while, his girlfriend came out from the unit door with a white mask on her face.

"Cold again?" Cao An asked in a low voice when she approached with dodgy eyes.

The girlfriend glared at him, left him and went to the car first.

Cao An turned around and got into the car. When he was about to pull the seat belt, he looked at his girlfriend in the co-pilot seat with closed eyes and rested his mind. He continued to reach forward and held her left hand on the satchel.

Jiang Tao's eyelashes trembled, and he quickly slapped him away with his right hand.

What honesty, Schrödinger's honesty!
