    Chapter 25

    When the two returned home, no one was at home except the lights were on. The huge living room is filled with the light of the chandeliers, floating a layer of winter coolness. The floor-to-ceiling windows were slightly opened, and the gentle sea breeze blew in, rolling up the curtains hanging on the floor.

    Xu Xingxing smelled the smell of fish accompanied by the sea breeze, and her nose moved slightly.

    Huai Jing looked at her subtle movements, raised her eyes, and said, "Let's eat."

    The restaurant has already prepared meals, four dishes and two soups. Among them were two fish, one for braised and one for soup. The braised fish is full of color and fragrance, and the fish soup is milky and delicious, which makes the index finger move.

    On the long dining table, there was only a bowl of rice, Xu Xingxing looked up at Huaijing. Huaijing understood and said, "I'm not hungry, you eat first."

    Xu Xingxing hadn't eaten fish for a long time, so he was hungry when he saw the fish. Unexpectedly, a person of this age would be so greedy, Xu Xingxing nodded with a blushing face, pulled out the chair and sat down.

    After sitting down, she took a piece of fish with chopsticks. The fish was tender but not broken. Xu Xingxing took a bite and it tasted pretty good.

    Huaijing watched her tick the fishbone in small movements and asked, "Is it delicious?"

    Xu Xingxing nodded, his round eyes glowing with radiance, all satisfied.

    "Well, this auntie cooks deliciously."

    "I like to eat the food made by He's mother since I was a child." Huaijing said, "My mother also likes it. But she is in the mansion and usually takes care of my grandma. Only on weekends will she come to take care of my three meals."

    Huaijing said a lot at once, but Xu Xingkong just listened carefully and didn't ask any more questions. The mansion should be the Huai's old house, only his grandmother and second uncle lived. His father died, his mother became a monk, and his younger sister was studying abroad... He lived in such a big house by himself, and he was actually quite lonely.

    Xu Xingxing buried his head in his meal, Huaijing watched for a while, and then the phone rang. He just tapped the table with his fingers, and raised the phone. Xu Xingxing nodded, indicating that he understood.

    Huaijing got up with her phone in hand, and answered the phone as soon as she went out.

    The cheerful voice of the girl on the other end of the phone came: "Brother!"

    "Well." Huai Jing's brows and eyes softened, and she responded.

    When Huai Jing went out to answer the phone, Xu Xingxing finally let go and ate some. After she was full, Huaijing still hadn't finished her phone call. Afraid that Huaijing would be hungry, Xu Xingxing did not move any other dishes except fish. She sealed the dishes with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator, and then washed the dishes she used.

    After doing this, Xu Xingxing walked out of the kitchen.

    The floor-to-ceiling windows were opened wider than before, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, a man stood tall, standing by the pool and making a phone call. The light on the balcony was not turned on, only the light in the room was projected. When passing through the glass window, it was cut into regular squares and laid out on the man's delicate and handsome face.

    He pursed his lips slightly as he spoke, and although his expression was not good, the coldness and alienation in his eyes were gone.

    He should have made the call for a while, Xu Xingxing looked back and decided to kill the time himself. She looked up at the living room and found a corner of the bookshelf on the side of the living room.

    Xu Xingxing's eyes moved, and he walked over. The books that Huaijing usually read should also be related to jade, otherwise she would not have recommended those books to her last time.

    Xu Xingxing walked to the bookshelf, and before he raised his hand to pick up the book, he fell while looking up and saw a piano quietly placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window facing the bookshelf.

    Huaijing's house is very big, with several balconies. The balcony where he is calling now is connected to the swimming pool, and the balcony where Xu Xingxing is located is connected to a small garden. Under the night, the branches of various plants in the garden sway, flowing with a faint fragrance.

    Xu Xingxing put his eyes on the piano again.

    This is a grand piano, dark all around, reflecting a faint light. There is no brand on the piano, but looking at the materials and craftsmanship of the top cover and bracket, it can be seen that the price is not cheap.

    The big shake cover of the piano is lifted up, and the black and white keys are neatly laid out. In the middle of the key side wood, the luster is thick, like a work of art placed here, exuding a strong literary atmosphere.

    Xu Xingxing's eyes lit up slightly.

    When Huaijing hung up the phone and went back to the living room, he heard the intermittent piano sound. He raised his eyes and looked to the balcony.

    The woman sat in front of the black piano, pressing her left hand on the bench and her right hand on the keys. She had a straight back and long black hair that fell down her back, as meek as her people.

    She seemed to be looking for a sound.

    Xu Xingxing was really looking for the sound, but she couldn't find it. The 88 keys on the behemoth in front of her made her a little bit uncontrollable. Her fingers pressed and pressed again and again, and when she frowned in distress, another hand appeared on the keys.

    That hand seems to be specially made for playing the piano.

    The fingers are slender and white, flying on the keys, and the movements are beautiful and elegant.

    Xu Xingxing looked up, the man stood behind her, his body was slightly bent, he looked down at the keys, and carefully trimmed the few notes she just played.

    It is "Original Landscape of Hometown"

    The piano sounded lingering, and after a song was over, the man raised his fingers and met Xu Xingxing's gaze.

    There was a smile in his eyes, Xu Xingxing recovered from the smile, blushed, and said, "I'm sorry, I did it without your consent..."

    Huaijing didn't seem to care about this, he asked, "Do you like the piano?"

    The woman was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, I wanted to learn when I was a child. But my family's economic conditions were not very good, so my father taught me to play xun."

    Xun, no wonder played "The Original Landscape of My Hometown"

    Huaijing raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Xun's voice is very nice."

    Xu Xingxing was praised, and she smiled.

    Huaijing saw that her gaze was still on the piano, his eyes moved, and he asked, "Want to learn?"

    "Yeah." Xu Xingxing replied, without concealing it, she said, "I want to sign up for a piano class."

    Now that she has a stable job, has funds, and has free time, she just thinks about making up for her past regrets.

    When Xu Xingxing was thinking about where to report for work, the man suddenly said something.

    "I teach you."

    Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, she looked up at the man, her eyes full of surprise.

    Looking at her eyes, Huaijing smiled and said, "I'll be at home on weekends and I can teach you. As for tuition, you can take care of my three meals a day."

    After listening to Huai Jing's proposal, Xu Xingxing was a little moved. In this way, the cost of tuition can be saved, and there is no need to travel back and forth between her home and his home...

    However, if you think about it carefully, isn't it a bit strange that the two are together on weekends?

    Before Xu Xingxing could answer, Huaijing continued: "I also taught my sister's piano. There is a piano here, you can practice at any time, and you don't have to fight with others."

    Huai Jing's remarks completely moved Xu Xingxing. What he taught his sister shows that with teaching experience, she will learn a lot. And this piano is here, she can practice at any time.

    Xu Xingxing nodded and said, "Okay."

    So he decided to learn piano, Xu Xingxing was happy and looking forward to it. She looked down at the keys and pressed her fingers on the white keys, making a crisp sound.

    sounds so good.

    The woman looks down at the keys, her fingers fumbling between the black and white keys. Her fingers were very white and slender, and when she bowed her head, the hair at the back was scattered to both sides, revealing a slender and white neck.

    This neck is smooth and beautiful, with no flaws on it.

    Huai Jing's eyes sank, and she stretched out her hand and pressed it on her finger.

    The man's hand pressed on her finger, and the soft pulp of the finger touched her fingernail. With his fingers connected to his heart, Xu Xingxing's heart jumped, and he raised his head to look at the man standing in the backlight.

    The man's eyes were dark, he squeezed her slightly raised chin, leaned over and kissed her into his tenderness.

    The two of them pressed their lips together, and their bodies trembled.

    Xu Xingxing's jaw twitched, only to feel that two big hands were placed on her waist, and with a little force, she was picked up in the air. She sits down, and the messy piano sounds are everywhere...

    Huaijing held her on the piano keys.

    Xu Xingxing opened her eyes, her round eyes were dizzy with water, her eyes were red, she struggled slightly, and her voice trembled.

    "Sit...it's broken."

    The man's hands didn't stop moving, and he looked down at the flustered and shy woman, his eyes darker. He bit her lips lightly and murmured.

    "Not bad."

    When Xu Xingxing woke up, the man was still sleeping. The two hadn't done it for three weeks. He seemed to have to make it up overnight, but in the end she couldn't take it anymore.

    Xu Xingxing got up, her cheeks were slightly red due to the long-lost waist and soft legs. After putting on a casual dress, she got up and went to the bathroom.

    After simply taking a shower, Xu Xingxing wiped his body and looked at the mirror. The red bite marks bloomed on her body like flowers, and the contrast between the fair skin and the blood red bite marks was strong, making people palpitate.

    Xu Xingxing's face was a little hot, she put on the wide pajamas, and the bite marks on her neck and collarbone showed a large area. No need to cover up at Huaijing's house, Xu Xingxing walked out of the bathroom and went downstairs to the living room.

    The sun by the sea has risen, hanging over the endless blue sea. The sun entered the balcony through the window and shone on the piano beside the balcony.

    The madness of the two of them last night was still vivid in his mind, Xu Xingxing turned his eyes away and blushed slightly.

    She's about to prepare breakfast, and that's her tuition.

    Thinking of this, Xu Xingxing's thoughts froze again. Is she sure she wants to learn the piano with him? Are you here for the weekend, are you living together?

    Thinking of this, Xu Xingxing walked to the piano. She put her fingers on the keys, but she didn't dare to press them down, Huaijing hadn't woken up yet.

    The morning sun in winter shone on his body, bringing some dry warmth, and Xu Xingxing stroked the keyboard with love in his heart. At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared, pressed on the keys, and made a "ding" sound.

    Xu Xingxing was startled.

    She turned her head, and the man was standing behind her looking at her. His hair was a little messy, which added a touch of frivolity to him. He stood in the sun, his fair skin was illuminated transparently, the focus of the sun dazzled between his slender neck, the light scattered and fell on the muscular outline of his upper body.

    Under the tight and beautiful abdominal muscles, the mermaid line is looming.

    He only wore one pair of pajamas, because the pajamas on his upper body were on Xu Xingxing.

    Seeing the man standing there so big, Xu Xingxing looked away, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she turned around and said, "I... I'll go and change it."

    She had just taken two steps when the man reached out and grabbed the corner of the back of her neck and carried her back to sit on the piano bench. The man looked down at her with a twitch.

    "I don't want to wear it."

    Xu Xingxing: "..."

    It was already morning, and since both of them were awake, Xu Xingxing went to the kitchen to make breakfast first. Huaijing is not a picky eater, both Chinese and Western food are acceptable. For breakfast, Xu Xingxing didn't put much thought into making toast sandwiches with two fried eggs, and the other two each had a glass of milk.

    Originally wanting to have dinner, Huaijing began to teach Xu Xingxing how to play the piano, but during the meal, Huaijing answered a phone call. It was probably a matter of work. He listened to the conversation on the phone, drank a glass of milk slowly, and replied in a deep voice, "I'll be there soon."

    Xu Xingxing took a bite of the sandwich and looked up at him.

    When Huaijing works, it is very different from everyday.

    After hanging up the phone, Huaijing took a napkin and wiped the corners of his lips. He raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Xingxing, and said, "I have something to deal with, you wait for me at home."

    The words "wait for me at home" made Xu Xingxing in a trance. When the man got up and went out, Xu Xingxing stopped him. She stood up and said, "I'm with you. There's not much cat food in the house, Mimi should be hungry."

    She didn't expect to stay at Huaijing's house for a day today, and she would also leave some time to go back and clean up.

    Huai Jing glanced at her and nodded in agreement.

    After putting down Xu Xingxing, Huaijing drove away. Xu Xingxing got out of the car, the steep slope in front of the gate of the community made her walking a little difficult. When got on the elevator, was already sweating.

    When the elevator arrived at the door, Xu Xingxing heard the sound of Mimi slamming the door as soon as he took out the key. The corners of her lips twitched slightly, and she opened the door with the key.

    As soon as the door opened, Mimi jumped into her arms.

    "Oops." Xu Xingxing sighed, smiled and hugged it in his arms, then walked into the room.

    In the room, in Mimi's rice bowl, there was very little cat food left. Xu Xingxing glanced at it, and a layer of guilt filled his heart. After she opened a can, she put Mimi down. Watching it take two bites, Xu Xingxing rubbed its head and apologized softly, "I'm sorry."

    When Mimi was eating, she still didn't leave her, swiping her tail beside her and hitting Xuan'er. Mimi really likes her, from the first meeting. Xu Xingxing felt that he was going to stay at Huaijing's house for the weekend, and he felt very sorry for Mimi.

    Do you want to take it to Huaijing's house?

    Xu Xingxing thought for a while and frowned.

    Will they fight?

    When Mimi was eating, Xu Xingxing kept squatting beside her. After Mimi finished eating, it turned around and put its front paws on Xu Xingxing's wrist. One of them grabbed the red rope in her hand.

    Xu Xingxing looked at the red rope and thought of Chen Wanwan.

    Having said that, her shop is gradually stable now, and she should treat Chen Wanwan's family well. After all, in the beginning, the shop was all run by the couple. Chen Wanwan would definitely not want to give them money, but she still had to ask for a meal.

    Looking up at the time, Xu Xingxing called Chen Wanwan just after ten o'clock.

    "Hey, what is Boss Xu's order?" Chen Wanwan called out happily.

    Xu Xingxing smiled. Letting her make a fuss, she asked, "Are Minister Chen and Minister Zhan free at noon today? Let's have a meal together."

    "Yo, it's a coincidence." Chen Wanwan was delighted and said, "Minister Chen has..."

    After she finished speaking, Zhan Liangting didn't know what to say, Chen Wanwan said "oh" and said with a smile, "Minister Zhan doesn't have time, but he sent Xiao Zhan here~"

    Just as Chen Wanwan finished speaking, Kangkang's sweet voice rang out.

    "Aunt Starry Sky~"

    Xu Xingxing smiled with crescent eyes, and said with a smile, "Okay, then bring Xiao Zhan, I invite you."

    Knowing that Xu Xingxing's meal was to thank them, Chen Wanwan didn't care about it, but she knew that if Xu Xingxing didn't invite her, she would feel sorry for her, so she happily agreed.

    I thought she was just asking for a meal, but unexpectedly, she took their mother and daughter to a private kitchen western restaurant with 1000+ per capita.

    As soon as Chen Wanwan came in, she was about to leave, but was dragged in by Xu Xingxing. The private room was by the window, Chen Wanwan glanced out the window, the floor was too high, and she was a little dizzy.

    "After Boss Xu became the boss, he learned to consume high-end goods." Chen Wanwan teased her.

    Xu Xingxing didn't care, she looked at the menu and said casually.

    "Didn't you always want to come and try it?"

    "I won't come to a place where I eat a bag in a meal." Although Chen Wanwan said this, her heart warmed.

    "So I invite you." Xu Xingxing looked up at her and smiled.

    Chen Wanwan glanced at her and complained, but the corners of her lips curled up.

    "Aunt Xingkong also invited me." Kangkang sat in the child seat, holding a small iron fork for children, and raised it with a smile.

    "Yes~" Xu Xingxing's voice softened, he stretched out his hand to squeeze his face, and said sweetly, "I mainly want to invite Kangkang~"

    After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, their faces pressed together.

    Looking at the two and He Meimei, Chen Wanwan snorted and said, "You two are sincere. I'll give you this son, and I'll have another one myself."

    Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, and Kangkang next to him widened his eyes in surprise, looking at Chen Wanwan and asking.

    "Really?"

    Chen Wanwan: "..."

    The two adults looked at each other, Chen Wanwan could not laugh or cry, pointed to her son and said, "You really want to go!"

    Xu Xingxing laughed.

    The food was served quickly, and Chen Wanwan sighed with emotion after tasting the meal.

    "No wonder it's expensive, it's delicious."

    Xu Xingxing smiled helplessly, and chopped up the veal steak and foie gras at hand for Kangkang.

    Every time she takes Kangkang out, she basically doesn't need to do anything, Xu Xingxing can take care of it. She looked at Xu Xingxing, knocked on the table, and said earnestly, "My mother-in-law recommended an old Chinese medicine practitioner who is very good at conditioning her body. Come with me."

    Said to be conditioning the body, in fact, to treat her infertility. Xu Xingxing's eyes lit up when he heard it. But then, the light in his eyes gradually disappeared. She was very grateful to Chen Wanwan, but felt it was unnecessary.

    Just as she was about to refuse, she was rejected by Chen Wanwan.

    "Don't refuse. This Chinese medicine doctor is very good. I've already made an appointment for you, but I'll cut the queue. Just next weekend, I'll escort you if you don't follow me."

    After listening to her words, Xu Xingxing smiled helplessly, she nodded and said, "Okay."

    Putting the grain of rice in his mouth, Kangkang looked at the two adults and asked worriedly, "Is Aunt Xingkong sick?"

    The little guy's big eyes flickered with worry, Xu Xingxing's heart softened, she nodded and said, "Yes, but it will be fine soon."

    After listening to her words, Kangkang was relieved, and he told Xu Xingxing in a milky voice: "Then take the medicine. After taking the medicine, the disease will be cured, and Aunt Xingkong will also become happy."

    Xu Xingxing was stunned, the smile on the corner of her lips gradually faded away, she hugged the little guy and put it on her face, and said, "Okay, auntie is obedient."

    As the two continued to eat with He Meimei, Xu Xingxing's cell phone rang. She put down the knife and fork, took out the phone, and saw the caller ID, Xu Xingxing's eyes panicked.

    Chen Wanwan glanced down and asked, "Who is it?"

    "It's in the store." Xu Xingxing said, and went out with his mobile phone.

    "Why do you go out to pick them up in the store?" Chen Wanwan frowned, feeling that Xu Xingxing was a little strange. She was about to get up when Kangkang grabbed her.

    "Mom, don't overhear Aunt Xingkong's phone call. She will tell us what she wants to tell us."

    After being taught a lesson by her son, Chen Wanwan opened her eyes, which were comparable to her son's eyes.

    She stuffed a piece of steak for her son and muttered, "You're the only one who understands the truth."

    Xu Xingxing walked to the lounge of the restaurant. The lounge was clean and elegant, mainly because there was no one in it. Xu Xingxing stood in front of the potted plant by the window of the lounge and picked up the phone.

    "I'm done, I'll pick you up at your house now." Huaijing said.

    "Ah." Xu Xingxing pursed his lips and said to Huai Jing, "I'm not at home now, I'm eating out with friends."

    After eating, they would also accompany Kangkang to the amusement park in Jia Ting Plaza. It is estimated that it will be afternoon when they go back. Xu Xingxing calculated the time and said, "It may end at four o'clock in the afternoon."

    After Xu Xingxing finished speaking, the man over the phone snorted lightly, with a bit of laziness and dissatisfaction in his voice.

    "Then are you still practicing the piano on the weekend?"

    Xu Xingxing was stunned by the question, she bit her lip and said with a guilty conscience, "I will practice when I go back in the afternoon."

    After asking this question, Huaijing sorted out his thoughts and said, "So, you are telling me now that you won't come to practice until four o'clock this afternoon, right?"

    Xu Xingxing listened to his summary, responded, and said, "Well."

    On the other end of the phone, he let out a long sigh, and the man's voice had some coolness, and asked her, "You don't think of me as your piano teacher, do you?"

    "Ah?" Xu Xingxing was puzzled, and quickly came back to his senses, and said quickly, "No, I am right."

    "Oh?" The man raised his tail and said lightly, "Then you don't have class this afternoon, are you serious about asking me for leave?"

    Thinking about it this way, really don't respect him. Xu Xingxing raised his eyes and looked outside the lounge, Chen Wanwan seemed to have gone out to find her. She pursed her lips and said softly.

    "Today from noon to four o'clock in the afternoon, I would like to take a leave of absence."

    Hearing her words, the man chuckled softly, and Xu Xingxing could even imagine the corners of his lips raised lightly.

    "I disagree."

    Xu Xingxing: "..."

    She shouldn't have followed his train of thought in the first place!
