Chapter 42
The man turned his back to the light, the sun seemed to be plated with a layer of gold on his body, and there was a faint smile in his light brown eyes. Xu Xingxing raised his eyebrows, stroked Mimi, lowered his head and said something in a low voice.
"How old are you..."
Her voice was very small, her tone was still gentle, and the processed voice of her mobile phone was far from the one-ten thousandth softness she said while standing beside him, like being scratched by a kitten, Huaijing smiled solemnly , said: "Okay, then I will hug you, I don't think you are too old."
The woman didn't seem to react. Huaijing had already stretched out her arms to hug her and Mimi. The moment she was in his arms, Huaijing felt that her heart that had been empty for a few days was full again. .
She has a good smell of sweet orange on her body, like a little sun, it can dispel the cold in his heart.
Holding the woman in his arms, Huaijing looked up at the door. He thought that when he saw her, the most restless thing was his body and desires, but now he was satisfied just holding her.
Xu Xingxing only reached his shoulders, she turned her face sideways, her ears were pressed against the man's chest. Through the thin sweater, Xu Xingxing could hear his steady and powerful heartbeat, and could also feel the temperature of his body.
His body temperature is not high, but Xu Xingxing's face is slightly hot.
Mimi in her arms was quiet, and Xu Xingxing listened to the sound of the sea breeze outside the window, and her heart gradually calmed down.
After hugging for a while, Xu Xingxing squeezed Mimi's paw and asked in a low voice, "Are you hungry? I'll cook."
The man didn't seem to hear it. After a while, he let go of his arms, looked down at her and said, "Okay."
Lin Meihui stuffed her suitcase, enough for today's lunch. Xu Xingxing pulled the suitcase to the sunlight by the floor-to-ceiling window. She squatted down and opened the suitcase. Mimi seemed to smell something and walked over with light steps.
Looking up at Mimi squatting there and looking at her, the sun made her hair more shiny, her blue eyes were clear and translucent, Xu Xingxing softened her heart, took out a bag of dried fish, and said with a smile : "It's just your nose."
Saying that, Xu Xingxing took apart the dried fish, took a small piece out of it, and handed it to Mimi's mouth. Mimi sniffed first, then opened her mouth and bit the dried fish.
This kind of dried fish is not the kind of fried crispy dried fish, but Lin Meihui marinated and dried, so it is very chewy. Mimi bit down, but the small teeth did not bite the dried fish. It looked up and pulled back, pulling Xu Xingxing's arms past. Seeing Mimi's aggrieved appearance after not being able to eat, Xu Xingxing laughed softly.
The woman squatted in the sun, her low ponytail drooping to one side because she tilted her head. She smiled and watched Mimi eating dried fish, and the interaction between one person and one cat was very sweet.
After Xu Xingxing fed Mimi a dried fish, Huaijing suddenly came over, he stretched out his hand in front of Xu Xingxing and said, "I'll feed it."
Before the smile on his face dissipated, Xu Xingxing raised his eyes to look at Huaijing, thinking of making their relationship better, so he handed him the dried fish.
After the man took over the dried fish, Mimi just finished eating the last one, and she licked her mouth with her small tongue, and let out a meow at Huai Jing. After a period of contact, Mimi still has a good impression of Huaijing.
Huaijing squatted beside Mimi and handed over the dried fish in her hand. Mimi meowed, and opened her mouth to show her teeth and was about to bite, but when her tongue just licked the dried fish, the man's hand gently lifted.
Mimi took a bite, raised her front paws, jumped up again, and bit again, the man's hand lifted at the same time.
Mimi: "..."
Xu Xingxing: "..."
After two bites, Mimi also knew that Huaijing was teasing it, and after groaning in anger, she raised her paw and hit the man's slender calf.
Xu Xingxing looked at Mimi's fury, and said anxiously, "Give it to you quickly."
The man raised his eyes and glanced at her, and obediently put the dried fish in his hand to Mimi's mouth. Mimi first glanced at Xu Xingxing, then at Huaijing, opened her mouth and bit it.
However, this bite, and the bite was empty.
Xu Xingxing: "..."
Mimi angrily patted Huaijing's leg with her front paws two or three times, but the man laughed.
Seeing you come and go with one person and one cat childishly, Xu Xingxing was a little confused.
Didn't the two of them have a good relationship when they were at home a few days ago?
After finishing lunch, Xu Xingxing cleaned up the tableware. It was past one o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was blazing lazily.
Xu Xingxing took two bags of traditional Chinese medicine and stood by the kitchen counter in the middle of the kitchen, and cut a small mouth with scissors. The strong bitter taste rushed to his face, Xu Xingxing frowned.
Glancing at the water and sugar prepared next to him, Xu Xingxing gritted his teeth and swallowed the Chinese medicine in one go. The bitter taste of a bag of medicine spread in his mouth, Xu Xingxing was so bitter that he couldn't open his eyes, so he closed his eyes to touch the water.
He didn't touch the water glass in his hand. When Xu Xingxing was about to open his eyes, a cool rim was placed on his lips. Xu Xingxing held the cup with one hand and took two sips. After swallowing the bitter taste, he opened his eyes.
The man stood beside her with a water glass in his hand. After she finished drinking, he stuffed a hard object into her mouth. The hard and cool thing quickly exuded its taste, a piece of peach-flavored hard candy.
As if winning a battle, the terror brought by the traditional Chinese medicine was suppressed by the sugar, and Xu Xingxing broke into a thin layer of sweat and said, "Thank you."
She was so bitter that her eyes were red.
Since the last time she saw Chinese medicine, she has never stopped these terribly bitter Chinese medicines.
She couldn't stand the bitter taste, but she still insisted on drinking it all day long. She could see how much she longed for the child from the bottom of her heart.
Huaijing looked at the corner of the other bag of medicine she had taken, and was about to get the scissors to cut the mouth. When her fingers touched the scissors, the man reached out and pressed her hand on the scissors.
The palm of his hand was a cool pair of scissors, and the back of his hand was the warm palm of a man. The temperature difference between the two sides made Xu Xingxing slightly startled. She looked up at the man, and the man was also looking at her.
The windows of the kitchen are all translucent, and the inclination of the sun in the afternoon allows more sunlight to shine in, pulling the two figures into a long entanglement.
Xu Xingxing moved his hands and wanted to draw them out. When she started, the man's palm lightly pressed, and after straightening her body, he supported his arms by her side, and encircled her in the space supported by the kitchen table and his arms.
The man's profile was white and translucent under the sunlight, his eyelashes were thick, slightly curled, his chin was slightly raised, and his neck was slender.
His body was hit by the sun, as if it had been overexposed, and Xu Xingxing looked a little dazed. In this trance, Xu Xingxing looked at the man's fair and slender neck, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and the man's low voice came over.
"The preparations for having a baby are over, and now it's time to take the most critical step."
After saying this, the man's lips lightly landed on hers, and when the soft lips touched, a familiar feeling quickly awakened her whole body like an electric current.
Xu Xingxing opened his eyes slightly, met the man's light brown eyes, and fell into the addictive tenderness in his eyes.
Xu Xingxing thought that the two of them had not done it for many days, and when they did it again, the man would be horny, rude, and even demanding...
But he didn't, he poured out his tenderness.
"Remember my body?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Well..." Xu Xingxing responded in a low voice.
Hearing this answer, the man hummed and said in a deep voice, "I remember you too."
At the back, Xu Xingxing didn't have much time to think. But at the moment when the two ended, she actually thought of this question again.
Huaijing has engraved his body in her body, and even if the relationship between the two is no longer like this in the future, she will still remember the joy his body brought her.
And, it will be remembered forever.
After the two finished, they slept together in the afternoon sun.
The sunlight by the sea is really good, shallow, penetrating the coolness of early spring, like a gauze covering the body, just right neither hot nor cold.
Xu Xingxing slept very lightly, but after sleeping for half an hour, he opened his eyes and woke up. She took the phone and glanced at the time, it was just four o'clock in the afternoon.
Squinting and resting for a while, Xu Xingxing was ready to get up.
Just as she was about to get up, her arm was grabbed by the person next to her. The man closed his eyes, buried his face in the pillow, and asked in a deep voice.
"where to?"
Glancing at Huai Jing, he seemed sleepy and did not open his eyes. This way, it was as if she could feel her leaving even in her sleep.
Looking at the sun, the man's clear facial features. Xu Xingxing licked his lower lip and said, "Going to a friend's house, my mother asked me to bring some special products, and I will send them to her."
After listening to her answer, the man's eyes opened slightly, and his light brown pupils shone between the thick eyelashes up and down.
"What did your mother ask you to bring me?"
I don't know where he suddenly came from, Xu Xingxing looked at him and said.
"Didn't you eat everything at noon?"
Huaijing's lips curled slightly, he opened his eyes to look at Xu Xingxing, and asked with a smile, "Including you?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, but at the end she thought of something, her eyes flashed, she turned her face away, and the back of her neck turned red. She stood up, her tone a little anxious.
"That's all for now."
The deep laughter came from the bed, and Xu Xingxing felt that he was really stupid. Why didn't she say this to him wisely, when would she be able to talk to him?
Release Xu Xingxing's arm, Huaijing did not stop her from going. He's going to sleep a little longer. He's slept poorly these days, and he slept better this afternoon.
After Xu Xingxing got dressed, Huaijing closed his eyes and asked, "What time will you be back? I'll pick you up."
Having suffered a loss from him just now, Xu Xingxing thought about it and said to him, "Not necessarily, I want to have dinner there."
The man opened his eyes faintly, he looked up at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice.
"If you're going to have dinner there, Mimi don't want to eat dinner."
Xu Xingxing: "..."
When she was in college, Chen Wanwan liked the hairy tofu made by Lin Meihui. She has a good relationship with Xu Xingxing. Every winter vacation, Lin Meihui will do something for Xu Xingxing to bring to her.
The hairy tofu is delicious, but the shelf life is very short. Xu Xingxing was afraid that it would be damaged, so he thought of sending it to Chen Wanwan today. As soon as he got into the taxi, Xu Xingxing called Chen Wanwan.
"Hey, Xingkong." Chen Wanwan just answered the phone and called Xingkong, and Kangkang's voice came over there.
"Aunt Starry Sky, Aunt Starry Sky, Happy New Year!"
The crisp milk sound of the little boy came through the receiver, Xu Xingxing smiled and answered, "Happy New Year Kangkang."
Picking up Kangkang who was standing beside him, Kangkang brought his ear towards the phone, Chen Wanwan pinched his small face, and continued to talk to Xu Xingxing with a smile.
"Happy New Year, is there anything wrong with the phone?"
Looking down at the thing in his hand, Xu Xingxing smiled and said, "My mother made some hairy tofu, let me bring it to you."
As soon as she heard the hairy tofu, Chen Wanwan screamed happily and said, "Really? Auntie is the best! Hey, no, you're back?"
Hearing Chen Wanwan's happy voice, Xu Xingxing's lips also twitched. She smiled and said, "Well, I'm back today."
"No." Although Chen Wanwan was very happy to have hairy tofu to eat, she still asked suspiciously, "You only go to work in the sixth day of the sixth year, so what are you doing when you come back so early?"
"Ah." Xu Xingxing paused, pursed his lips, and said, "I'll come back to see the shop, and the shop will open on the second day of the new year."
"Oh." After hearing this answer, Chen Wanwan had no doubts and said to her, "Come here, come quickly, I'm at home. You can have dinner at my house tonight, and I'll ask my mother-in-law to prepare squirrel mandarin fish."
"No...No..." Xu Xingxing was about to refuse, when Chen Wanwan hung up the phone with a "click".
When they arrived at the floor where Chen Wanwan's house was, as soon as Xu Xingxing went down the stairs, Kangkang rushed over from the door of the house. Xu Xingxing put the things aside, squatted down and smiled and picked him up.
Chen Wanwan walked over with a smile, watched the two hugging each other, and said, "The touching scene of the year, the 5-year-old boy and his biological mother met for the first time after the Spring Festival."
"Don't make trouble in front of the children." Xu Xingxing frowned and said to Chen Wanwan.
Chen Wanwan laughed, didn't care, and went to the kitchen with the hairy tofu.
Carrying Kangkang into Chen Wanwan's house, Xu Xingxing greeted Zhan Liangting and his parents. Seeing her, Mother James smiled and said, "Let's have dinner here tonight, you don't have to do it again when you get home."
Mentioning this, Xu Xingxing said quickly: "No, thank you auntie, I will go to Heping Street to see it later."
In the kitchen, Chen Wanwan popped her head out and wondered, "You haven't gone to Heping Street yet? I thought you came from there."
With a slight pause, Xu Xingxing explained, "The afternoon train I took has just arrived."
After the adults finished speaking, Kangkang took Xu Xingxing's hand and said cheerfully, "Aunt Xingkong, I have a gift for you."
"Really? Thank you~" Xu Xingxing looked down at him with a smile, and followed him to his room.
The little guy's room was neat and tidy, and the two-story wooden bed was covered with a blue undersea world quilt. Next to the bed, there is a desk. Kangkang ran over, took a picture from the desk, and handed it to Xu Xingxing.
Xu Xingxing squatted beside Kangkang and looked down at the painting in his hand. The painting is drawn with the crayons used by children for graffiti, with a blue background, a few stars are drawn with yellow crayons, and a few smiling faces are drawn with pink and red crayons.
The children's paintings are still immature, but there is innocence in their immaturity. Xu Xingxing looked at them and asked with a smile, "What does this painting mean?"
Standing beside her, Kangkang explained solemnly: "The smiling face is buried in the starry sky. I want to wish my aunt a happy new year."
After speaking, Kangkang smiled at the corner of Xu Xingxing's eyes.
"Thank you." Xu Xingxing was a little moved. She reached out and touched Kangkang's head, and the smile on her face deepened.
"Is my son very talented in painting? I signed him up for a painting remedial class, and he can go to class next week." Chen Wanwan finished with a smile, looking at the painting and adding: "Hey, this painting still has a signature. What. Look at the lower right corner, our family has one heart, and we jointly signed to wish a happy new year. "
After Chen Wanwan mentioned it like this, Xu Xingxing glanced at the lower right corner, only to see six small hearts drawn with several different colored strokes. In addition to Chen Wanwan's family, Xu Xingxing also has it, which is yellow, the same color as the stars, on the far right.
Children can always use the most naive way to make a person's heart full of warmth. Holding the painting, Xu Xingxing held Kangkang in his arms and said with a smile, "Auntie loves you."
"I love you too." Kangkang opened his small arms and hugged Xu Xingxing in his arms.
Huaijing was woken up by the phone.
The phone vibrated at the head of the bed, he opened his eyes slightly, and it was already dark outside the window. The screen of the mobile phone lit up with the vibration, illuminating the dark bedroom into a misty atmosphere.
Thinking that Xu Xingxing was done with her work, Huaijing took the phone over, and the screen reflected the man's delicate and handsome face. When she saw the caller ID on the screen, Huaijing raised her eyes slightly and answered the phone.
"Hey."
"Ha ha ha!" The other party greeted warmly and said, "Brother, I'm going back to China tomorrow, you can pick me up at the airport."
"Didn't grandma arrange for Lao Li to pick you up?" Huaijing asked.
"Don't let grandma know!" The other party said quickly, then smiled and said, "I came back a day earlier, and I want to play for two days before going back."
"Well." Huai Jing responded lightly and asked, "Aren't you going to leave this time?"
"Maybe." The other party said, "Grandma is getting old, and my dad also said that he is not in good health. The two of them are taking both measures. If I want to go back, I probably won't let them go back, haha."
"Okay." Huai Jing agreed.
"Then wait for me at the airport tomorrow~" The other party said happily, and then hung up the phone.
The phone on the screen had been cut off, and Huaijing's illuminated eyes gradually sank.
Huaiyangping was no longer available, and Huaichangchao called back his second son, Huaiyanghan.
When Xu Xingxing left from Chen Wanwan's house, Chen Wanwan insisted on driving her off. Helpless, Xu Xingxing had to be sent home by Chen Wanwan first. After Chen Wanwan left, Xu Xingxing came out of the gate of Hefeng's apartment and looked down along the road. Huaijing was already waiting at the old place.
She got up and walked over, opened the door and got in the car.
When the woman came in, she came in with a hint of cool air. Huaijing glanced back at her and saw the painting that she had not yet been able to put away.
"What is this?" Huai Jing looked at the painting sideways and asked Xu Xingxing.
"Ah." His eyes fell on the painting again, Xu Xingxing smiled and said, "A gift from my friend's son."
Sure enough, it was a child's handwriting. Huaijing looked at the colorful above and asked, "Is there a smiling face in the starry sky?"
Xu Xingxing looked up at him and said, "This means I wish Xingxing a happy day every day."
There are still some new ideas in the mind of the child.
Huai Jing smiled, saw the lower right corner, and asked, "What are those six hearts?"
"Signature." Xu Xingxing smiled, pointing to the heart above and smiling: "The five on the left are their homes, and the one on the right is me, which means this is our common wish."
Unconsciously saying so much, Xu Xingxing smiled, she looked up at Huaijing, the man had no expression on his face. Xu Xingxing was really happy, so he talked more. Thinking of this, her face flushed slightly, and she was about to put away the painting.
"Do you have a pen?" Huai Jing looked at her and asked.
"Ah?" Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, and he flipped through the bag. He actually flipped over a pen, and Xu Xingxing handed it to him.
The man took the pen, opened the cap, and the tip of the pen came towards the drawing on her hand. Xu Xingxing was very nervous, afraid that he would destroy the painting, so he quickly pulled the painting back.
But she was still a step too late. Before she pulled it back, the man took the pen and drew a bigger heart on the right side of her heart to wrap her heart.
After finishing the painting, the man snapped the pen cap on tightly, looked up at Xu Xingxing, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice.
"This one is mine."
