    Cao An was on a business trip for a total of five days. He left on Monday and ended on Friday. However, there was a dinner on Friday night. If he left for Tong City after dinner, he might not arrive until around ten o'clock.

    Jiang Tao got off work after five o'clock in the evening, so she drove to the Heping Community first.

    The decoration here is completely in line with the progress of Cao An's plan. The installation of all custom cabinets was completed on August 2nd, and electrical appliances, sofas, and curtains will be delivered to the door one after another.

    Jiang Tao slowly parked the car, and before she came down, old man Li poked his head out from the door of the unit, and saw her smile: "Xiao Tao, I guessed it was you just by the sound of the car, the masters installed the cabinet during the dayYes, you must come."

    Jiang Tao: "Coincidentally, you also came to see the house?"

    Grandma Li took her grandson to live with her son and daughter-in-law. Old man Li rented a single room from an acquaintance in the community, so that he could come to supervise the construction of the masters every day, and watch the materials with his own eyes, so as not to shoddy them..

    Ordinary people in small counties save their savings little by little, and only renovate their houses once in 20 or 30 years. Naturally, they hope that they get what they pay for.

    Jiang Tao could understand that if Cao An hadn't found a master in her family, she wouldn't be so relieved.

    Old man Li wanted to go in with her to see how the cabinet was installed.

    A fingerprint lock was installed on the new door. Jiang Tao opened the door, took out two pairs of shoe covers from the entrance cabinet, and put them on with Old Man Li separately.

    Before the masters left, they opened the windows according to Jiang Tao's wishes to let the air circulate, and there was no smell inside.

    The doors and drawers of the cupboards were also opened everywhere. Old man Li looked at them, felt them and then knocked, nodding his head from time to time: "Don't tell me, they are indeed good wood."

    Jiang Tao: "Cao An will help you check it out, don't worry."

    Old man Li smiled, showing a bit of shrewdness from people who have come here: "That's not necessarily the case. Some men are slick, boasting nicely, and they can't wait for their girlfriends.I didn’t lose a penny of the money, and I will really contribute only when I am sure that I will get married. But Xiao Cao is definitely not that kind, listening to what he says and seeing what he does, he is reliable, you are lucky, Xiaotao.”

    Jiang Tao listened politely, not as carefully as he did, walked around and returned to the living room to stay.

    Old man Li was also embarrassed to wander around the bedroom area for a long time, so he came out to say hello, and left with his hands behind his back.

    Jiang Tao closed the door, closed the cabinets and drawers for the time being, took a lot of photos and sent them to the family group where her aunt's family and grandma were, and received a lot of compliments.

    It's been sunny recently, the windows were open and the smell continued, Jiang Tao drove back to Emerald Garden.

    It was already half past six.

    Jiang Tao went to take a bath first, and then cooked a bowl of noodles briefly. After eating at 7:30, she received a message from Cao An: she went back to the hotel and is now ready to leave.

    Jiang Tao: Haven't you had a drink?

    Cao An: I didn't drink, they all knew I was going to drive.

    Jiang Tao: OK, then drive slowly.

    Cao An: Okay, see you later.

    After the chat was over, Jiang Tao put down his phone and lay down on the sofa in a daze.

    Before he left, the two almost kissed each other. When he comes back tonight, they should continue, right?

    Just thinking about it makes me nervous.

    Jiang Tao went to the bathroom to brush her teeth in advance, and was so careful that she was not as serious as tonight in the past twenty years.

    Although they met on a blind date, Cao An was her true first love.

    Jiang Tao wants to get a good intimate experience from him, and she also hopes that she can give Cao An the same good feeling.

    The toothbrush is clean, the face is freshly washed, the hair is soft and fluffy and smells of fresh shampoo, and finally it is only a matter of clothing.

    Wearing pajamas?It seems too casual, especially Cao An verbally broke it once in a nightgown.

    Wear long pants and short sleeves to go out?It's too late at night, and it shows a sense of distance.

    The influence of that video has disappeared, but Jiang Tao is not sure if Cao An really doesn't care at all.

    Although Cao An seems to have nothing to do with fragility, she doesn't want her boyfriend to misunderstand her a little bit and start resisting his fierce face again.

    Jiang Tao stood in front of the closet, chose for a long time, and finally took out a denim suspender skirt with white short sleeves and a little above the knee.

    Jiang Tao feels that this kind of collocation can be worn at home or outside, and it doesn't look too deliberate in any aspect.

    The overall look is youthful and cute, but she also showed her legs, so that Cao An would not feel that she was inviting or guarding against something.

    After changing her clothes, Jiang Tao tied her loose long hair into a bun.

    Jiang Tao, who thought she was perfect in every aspect, went to the sofa in the living room to watch a movie.

    It's 8:30 now, and when Cao An came back, the movie was still playing, which meant that she was just entertaining herself, not waiting for him on purpose!

    Grabbing the pillow in his arms, Jiang Tao was both amused by these little thoughts and relaxed.

    Everything that should be prepared is ready, just need to wait.

    At half past nine, Jiang Tao, who was concentrating on watching a movie, received a call from her boyfriend.

    Cao An: "I'm back, I'm here to buy something at the supermarket, do you want to bring anything?"

    Jiang Tao couldn't think of what he needed all of a sudden.

    Cao An: "Then I'll look at it and buy it."

    The call was very short, and his voice didn't sound ups and downs, as if he was just off work, not on a business trip for a few days.

    Jiang Tao looked at the part of her thigh that was exposed because of her sitting posture, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Could it be that she was thinking too much, and those careful thoughts were unnecessary?

    Because of this phone call, Jiang Tao couldn't concentrate while watching a movie. She was thinking wildly for a while, nervous for a while, and even went to the bathroom once!

    The college entrance examination is not so nervous.

    Time passed while waiting, and after 20 minutes, Cao An's message came again: We have arrived at the garage, come up immediately.

    Jiang Tao: ...

    Just come up directly, this kind of advance notice is more tormenting, okay?

    She knew in her heart that this was a polite gesture, to avoid surprising her by suddenly entering the door, or bumping into some inconvenient scenes.

    Jiang Tao ran to the snack cabinet, just about to take out a pack of melon seeds, but remembering how long she had brushed her teeth, she had to put the melon seeds back.

    Sitting on the sofa again, Jiang Tao went all out, and changed to cross-legged, with a pillow on his lap, as if watching a movie seriously.

    Two minutes later, Cao An opened the door.

    The porch was directly facing the living room, and he saw his girlfriend sitting cross-legged on the sofa, in a very comfortable posture. The light blue denim suspender skirt reminded him for a moment of his cousin who was still in high school, that is, the daughter of her head nurse.

    Cao An slightly clenched the shopping bag in his hand.

    Jiang Tao saw him holding a big, full supermarket shopping bag in one hand, carrying the suitcase into the entrance with the other, and closing the door.

    When he looked over, his expression was the same as usual, and the narrow eyes still made her instinctively avoid the moment they hit him.

    It doesn't matter whether she is afraid or not, it's because she is nervous, and she always feels that he can see all her little thoughts.

    "Is everything on the bridge settled?" Jiang Tao paused the playback, tilting his head to talk to him.

    After Cao An changed her shoes, she put her shopping bag on the dining table without moving her suitcase. Then she walked towards her, looked at the screen and said, "It's settled for the time being. If there are any problems in the future, we may have to go through it. What kind of movie is this?"?”

    Jiang Tao: ""The Emperor Penguin Diaries", a documentary."

    Cao An glanced at the suspender dress on her again, and sat next to her, with a pillow in between.

    Jiang Tao looked at the screen, raised the remote control, and asked casually, "Watch together?"

    Cao An: "How much longer?"

    Jiang Tao glanced at the progress bar: "Nine minutes."

    Cao An: "Look."

    The movie continues to play, only the blue sky and sea water, the silent world of ice penguins, it is very easy to purify people's hearts, as if it can make people forget all the troubles of the world and those not pure emotions or desires.

    The truth is, when Jiang Tao looked at the penguin, all of his boyfriends were in his corner of the eye, wanting to spy on where he was looking, and to know if the incident on the news had really passed with him.

    Cao An was leaning on the sofa, his face was farther back than hers, so Jiang Tao could only catch a glimpse of a blurry outline and couldn't see the details clearly if he only used his peripheral vision.

    In the extreme silence between the two, the movie ended and the penguin disappeared.

    The time is displayed on the upper right corner of the TV, 22:14.

    Cao An tilted his head to look at her: "Are you still watching?"

    Jiang Tao: "Do you want to see it?"

    Cao An: "Forget it tonight, I'm a little tired after driving back."

    Jiang Tao turned off the TV.

    Because Cao An was motionless against the sofa, Jiang Tao stood up and tugged at the suspender skirt casually.

    Cao An's gaze silently swept across her back.

    Originally, she looked younger than her actual age, and then she wore this kind of suspender skirt...

    Cao An looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the floor-to-ceiling windows at night also reflected everything in the living room.

    Jiang Tao felt that Cao An's condition was not right, so she asked him in a low voice, "Are you okay?" Is it because I am tired from driving at high speed, or is it a psychological problem?

    Cao An shook his head, sat upright, looked up at her slightly: "When did you buy this skirt?"

    When her boyfriend paid attention to the dress, Jiang Tao's face became hot, she looked down, and said, "Last summer, Fang Rui said that I looked good in this kind of dress."

    Cao An: "It looks good, but it looks more like a student."

    Jiang Tao bit her lip: "No one stipulates that only students can wear this."

    She is only twenty-four, is she too old to wear a suspender skirt?

    Cao An: "Did the news cause you any trouble?"

    Jiang Tao: ...

    Is this topic jumping too fast?

    Meeting his serious eyes, Jiang Tao immediately said: "No, my colleagues all praised you, and they were also curious about whether you got the bonus."

    She tried to liven things up.

    Sure enough, Cao An smiled, continued to look at her and asked, "Do you really mind? Similar things may happen in the future."

    Jiang Tao understands what he means, isn't it just being looked at with strange eyes, and then being randomly guessed about the relationship between the two.

    Having been with him for so long, Jiang Tao has learned about his eyes and gossip, it's no big deal, and she doesn't know those people.

    She looked at his knees with a hint of anger: "What do you mind, did you save someone by mistake? You can ensure your own safety, just don't be brave."

    Cao An was silent. After a while, he stood up, and his face suddenly exceeded the range that Jiang Tao could look directly at.

    "Put the suitcase first, I'm going to take a shower, and you pack the things in the shopping bag."

    There was no sensational soul exchange, Cao An just patted her head, and then went to the bedroom.

    Jiang Tao thinks this is also very good, saying too much makes her feel nauseous.

    She walked to the dining table. It was the largest shopping bag. After opening it, she saw that it was full of snacks, as well as daily necessities such as salt and paper towels.

    Jiangtao was collected one by one, some were put in the kitchen, and some were put in the cabinet outside.

    After finishing the first layer, Cao An came out from the second bedroom, holding a change of clothes in his hand, and looked at her as he walked.

    Jiang Tao bowed her head.

    When Cao An entered the bathroom, she regained her composure.

    With the sound of splashing water inside, Jiang Tao was finally about to finish her work, and took out a bag of jelly. Under the shopping bag, there were still two small black gold-wrapped paper boxes, palm-sized, rectangular, like playing cards, and like cigarettes.

    Jiang Tao first put the jelly on the dining table, and curiously took out a box. No matter what it was, the packaging was quite high-end.

    Jiang Tao looked down at the box being sealed.

    The typography is almost all black, with three large "0's" printed in gold in the center, and possibly the letter "o".

    The small characters below the three circles remark "6 packs", and there is an English word on it.

    Jiang Tao stared at the English word.

    Just like knowing that there is such a luxury car without driving a Rolls-Royce, Jiang Tao is also very familiar with the Chinese translation of this English word.

    Her face was hot, and her hands were hot, and it was only at this moment that she really understood why Cao An went to the supermarket to buy such a pile of things that were not so urgently needed at night.

    What a gentleman, it's really bad!
