Chapter 56
In the living room, the light at the entrance was turned on. In the dark yellow light in the room, Ji Yunqing leaned on the sofa and looked at his mobile phone. The Qixi Festival was really easy to remember, and there were a lot of blessings sent. After replying politely one by oneMore than half an hour later, Zhou Ming came out of the room, walking with something in his hand, the shadow drawn by the lamp fell on the white wall, faintly.
After accepting the last red envelope from his aunt, Ji Yunqing raised his face and laughed dumbfoundedly: "What is this?"
"You said you don't want to eat cake," Zhou Ming sat next to him, "I just made some biscuits at home, and I can make a wish."
The chubby finger puffs were packed in a biscuit tin, and they were specially wrapped in clothes for fear of breaking them. They were taken out on purpose tonight, and he carefully piled them into the shape of a small cake. Zhou Ming took out a thin candle and inserted itOn it: "Have you decided to make a wish?"
Ji Yunqing put down his phone and looked back at Zhou Ming earnestly. He really likes sweets, but he felt that a group of people gathered to sing and share the cake was too sticky, so he avoided it every time. If it was a birthday at his aunt's house,Just eat a bowl of Longevity Noodles. If you are with friends, you can have a meal and go out to play together. The laughing and laughing will be over. If you make a big surprise to be watched by everyone, he will really be embarrassed.
Fortunately, it was such an occasion where there were only two people, and the small candlelight would not bring him any pressure. Ji Yunqing blew out the dancing flame, smiled and picked up a biscuit and put it in his mouth: "I made my wish, thank you."
Looking at a beautiful woman under the lamp is naturally even more heart-swaying, and Ji Yunqing's eyes are as gentle as spring water at this moment, and his long and curled eyelashes are trembling, casting a small shadow on his cheeks. Zhou Ming can't help but lean forward, and the sound of breathing graduallyTo make matters worse, Ji Yunqing has gently closed his eyes——
The phone rang.
Zhou Ming didn't even look at it, just reached out and hung up.
He could already see the fine fluff on the other side's face.
The phone rang again, and the brand's default ringtone was brisk and melodious.
Ji Yunqing turned his face away and smiled, then pushed Zhou Ming's shoulder: "You answer the phone first."
Zhou Ming gritted his teeth and took out his mobile phone, deciding that if it was a sales harassment call, he must report it to the police, but he took a look at Duan Wenying, a classmate of a major in the university.
"Why did you just hang up on my phone?" Duan Wenying laughed nonchalantly over there, "Today's Chinese Valentine's Day, did it bother you to go out with your date?"
Zhou Ming sighed helplessly, and let out a "hmm".
"Yo, then I'll make a long story short," Duan Wenying continued, "Ask me about what you entrusted to me. There will be a realistic art exhibition in two months. The curator is an alumnus of ours. I have a good impression of you and have already taken the initiativeI have to leave your contact information, and I will explain to you."
"Thank you," Zhou Ming sat up straight, and glanced at Ji Yunqing's back, who just stood up and went to the kitchen, "I didn't go professional after graduation, thanks to your help."
Duan Wenying sighed: "It's okay, you helped me a lot when I went to college. I was sorry that you were so professional, but you didn't keep improving. But after seeing your paintings, I feel good. At least my skills have never been wasted."
The two chatted casually before hanging up the phone. Zhou Ming put the phone on silent. Ever since he decided to pursue Ji Yunqing, he began to think about the future of the two of them.After that, since he wanted to go on, he couldn't stop. After all, he likes to make arrangements in advance, so he contacted his former classmates in the studio, and was ready to abandon everything he had at any time.
He stood up and followed into the kitchen. Ji Yunqing was leaning on the cupboard drinking mineral water, which was just taken out of the refrigerator, and there was still a little water vapor on the bottle, which seemed to be bone-chillingly cold.
Zhou Ming endured it, but still said, "Why don't you drink something hot."
"It's comfortable to drink cold water," Ji Yunqing squinted his eyes, his eyes were bright in the dark kitchen, "It's okay."
Zhou Ming swallowed unconsciously, he liked Ji Yunqing's expression very much.
Ji Yunqing's demeanor was refined by his long career in classical dancing, and his gestures were a little coquettish, but his eyes were very straightforward, even a little unreasonable and wild. He held the cabinet by his side with one hand: "Why,Do you want to control me?"
Just now, Zhou Ming really wanted to take away the ice water and replace it with hot water.
But he didn't.
He is changing his habits, and many of the rules he once adhered to are slowly being broken. Zhou Ming has clearly realized this and is trying to adapt. As soon as Ji Yunqing put the water down, he was hugged from behind.
"If I do something wrong in the future," Zhou Ming buried his face on his shoulder, "you must tell me, okay?"
Ji Yunqing stood still, letting him hug her in his arms without saying a word.
After a while, he finally turned around and looked at Zhou Ming tenderly, "Don't think so far away, it's okay."
Zhou Ming stroked the other person's face with his thumb, and did not continue the sudden topic just now. There was a loud frog croaking outside the window, and he frowned: "Did you not sleep well last night because of this noise?"
"No, I have been dreaming for some reason and woke up several times."
"Did you wear a steam eye mask?" Zhou Ming asked him, "Turn off the lights and don't look at your phone. Put on the eye mask and fall asleep soon."
Ji Yunqing replied honestly: "I have it at home, but I always forget to bring it, and I only remember it when I fly..."
Zhou Ming pulled him out: "I brought it, I'll get it for you."
Next to the restaurant on the first floor is Zhou Ming's room, which also has a small balcony. The moment he opened the door, Zhou Ming felt bad, and the washed sheets were still hanging outside, because it was facing the backyard, soNo one noticed during the day, but as soon as Ji Yunqing came in, he would definitely be able to see it.
He turned around abruptly, trying to stop Ji Yunqing from going in, but the other party had already walked in sideways and turned on the light.
Zhou Ming closed his eyes in pain.
"Wow," Ji Yunqing looked over, "It's really clean."
The quilts are neatly folded, there is no debris on the table, even the chargers are neatly packed, the suitcase is leaning against the corner, and the small room looks very comfortable.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the bed. Zhou Ming was a little bit obsessed with cleanliness, and couldn't bear to sleep directly on the bed outside, so when he stayed in the B&B, he made up his own bedding, because after washing it now, the original bedding showed upJi Yunqing didn't notice it either, and sat on the chair self-consciously, looking at him: "Why are you in a daze?"
Zhou Ming went forward with a slightly red face, and opened the suitcase. Ji Yunqing lay on the back of the chair and exclaimed, "Why do you bring so many things?"
"It's okay," Zhou Ming had already found out the steam eye mask, "They are all commonly used, so don't worry if you have them ready."
Ji Yunqing looked at a huge flashlight inside in shock: "I just brought a change of clothes."
"Remember," he continued, "You are a person who carries cash with you, so you feel safe."
Zhou Ming closed the suitcase: "Yes, maybe I like to plan ahead..."
He didn't dare to say the rest of the sentence, and he had even started to prepare for each other's future, but Zhou Ming was worried that such a self would bring pressure to others.Because of his temperament, he stood still and waited for himself to occupy the opponent's entire world bit by bit.
Because deep down in his heart, he was a little secretly afraid.
He was afraid that Ji Yunqing would leave without looking back.
Fortunately, Zhou Ming has kept a cat for many years, and knows how to arouse the interest of this wicked little animal. The more you tease it, the more it may ignore it, so relax your body, pretend not to care, and play hard to get, you can listen to theThe soft footsteps of the meat pad approached, and he grabbed it and hugged it in his arms.
He put the suitcase and walked over, but Ji Yunqing suddenly raised his hand towards him, and scratched his chin like a cat: "What are you thinking, look serious."
...Fuck his uncle's playing hard to get!
The calm analysis in his mind was gone, he just wanted to rub this man in his arms, but he couldn't touch it, Ji Yunqing had already retracted his hand lightly, stood up and backed away, and raised the steam eye mask in his hand with a smile:"Thank you, I'm going back to sleep."
It's called a fast slip.
Zhou Ming felt that a fire was burning up, and he didn't burn it until he went back the next day. He drove with a sigh of relief. It rained last night, and it slowly stopped in the morning. In the slightly cold coolness, everyone scattered after saying goodbyeAfter returning home and entering the community, Ji Yunqing first went to the post station to pick up the courier. Zhou Ming pulled the suitcase to see that it was a square box, not too big.
"I bought a figurine," Ji Yunqing pressed the elevator button, "I'll show you later... Wait, I seem to have forgotten something."
The elevator numbers changed rapidly, Zhou Ming looked at his expression, and found that he seemed a little guilty.
"That Wu Yu might get a bunch of flowers for the door," Ji Yunqing turned his head a little embarrassedly, "In the past, I asked my aunt to deal with it directly, and I told him about it."
After two steps out of the elevator, the two stopped silently.
A huge bouquet of red roses was lying in front of Ji Yunqing's door, almost completely occupying the passageway. It seemed that they were placed yesterday, and the flowers bloomed just right, so delicate and charming.
"...Wu Yu is a man, after all, he has a muscle." Ji Yunqing felt a little headache, "I have already explained it clearly to him."
Zhou Ming paused: "I know, what are you going to do with this thing?"
"What do you think," he sighed, "I'm a little annoyed when I see this kind of flower now."
"Call it property?" Zhou Ming suggested, "They also have a responsibility to place such items in the corridors, so that they can share the flowers with the merchants and not waste them."
Ji Yunqing nodded: "Okay, you can handle it."
Watching Zhou Ming finish the phone call, Ji Yunqing finally opened his mouth hesitantly: "Actually, he persisted for a long time and pestered him all the time. I really tried many methods."
"Well, I've been chasing you for almost three years." Zhou Ming felt sour in his heart.
Ji Yunqing lowered his head and smiled: "Oh, I'm jealous."
Zhou Ming didn't say anything, went to open the door first, and put the courier and suitcase in his hands. Ji Yunqing followed Zhou Ming into the house. Before he changed his shoes, Huahua started rolling on his limbs.He quickly went to dispose of the cat litter, squeezed another lemon and sprayed water in the room, and there was a burst of fresh fruity fragrance in an instant.
Ji Yunqing picked up the key and opened the courier box casually. Zhou Ming prefers to buy things in physical stores. Huahua has never seen this thing before, so she followed him to look at it. When Ji Yunqing took out the contents, the kitten stretched its neckAfter thinking for a while, I couldn't hold back my instinctive desire and jumped in directly.
Then, the kitten went crazy.
Began to roll and pull frantically in this cardboard box.
After Zhou Ming packed his things and came out, he saw Huahua spinning and jumping, while Ji Yunqing was still taking pictures: "Do all kittens like this?"
Yes, but Zhou Ming never bought it.
He thinks the express box is not clean.
He bought a lot of toy climbing frames for the kitten, and cleaned and replaced them in time. If there were paper bags for packaging in the house, he would fold them up and throw them away soon, so have a pity that Huahua is such a big cat.Play with the carton for the first time.
But when Ji Yunqing was sitting on the ground holding a small Doraemon figurine, looking tenderly at the rolling kitten, Zhou Ming didn't feel the awkwardness before, as if the snow had melted quietly, he walked over and sat beside him, For the first time, felt the coolness of the wooden floor.
"Like this?" He took the cute blue fat guy, "Your avatar too."
Ji Yunqing nodded: "Well, when I was a child, I was very envious of the omnipotent Doraemon. At that time, the translation in China was called Doraemon, or Tinker Bell."
The doorbell rang, and when he opened the door, Wang Yong, the property manager who was familiar with Zhou Ming, was standing at the door, with a bit of surprise on his face: "It's easy to see flowers in the trash can these days on Qixi Festival, but I didn't expect so many flowers.", who is it for?"
Zhou Ming didn't want to explain too much: "This is not the point, the main thing is to pay attention to it in the future, and don't let all dubious people enter the community."
"Okay," Wang Yong looked back, and the two security guards had already lifted the bouquet together, "Oh, if someone sends me so many roses, I will definitely marry."
Before he could finish speaking, the door was closed quickly, Wang Yong almost felt ashamed, just now Zhou Ming told himself not very calmly, this bouquet of flowers was given to his tenant by someone else, but he couldn’t catch up with him when he was away from home.When I come back, I need to ask the property management to help me deal with it, why is there such a big anger.
In fact, this fire started last night and has not subsided.
Ji Yunqing was flipping through the messages on his mobile phone, and raised his head when he heard the movement: "He sent me a message saying that I didn't notice."
"Do you need me to talk to him?" Zhou Ming stood, looking at the slightly lighter hair color of the other party, "It won't be a problem if it goes on like this for a long time."
Ji Yunqing thought for a while: "No, let's treat him to dinner. In fact, he also helped me."
Zhou Ming immediately became vigilant: "How did he help you?"
The person next to him was sitting cross-legged on the ground, without shoes, and his gray boat socks were parked on his slender ankles. The air conditioner had just cooled the room, but his skin was as white as snow, as if it hadn’t seen the light for years.
It makes people want to step forward and touch it to see if it is as cool.
Ji Yunqing seemed to think for a long time before opening his mouth hesitantly.
"When I got into a car accident, he was the one who called the ambulance and sent me and Cheng Zan to the hospital."
"A lot of things happened in those days," Ji Yunqing spoke very slowly, "He kept an eye on me, so he just followed behind. In fact, Wu Yu has a good nature. If he knew that I had a boyfriend, he wouldn't continue to pester me., so find a time to have a meal."
The kitten scratched the carton very loudly.
Wu Yu didn't tell him this detail that day.
Zhou Ming's heart was still tossing and turning in the frying pan, and his expression seemed relaxed: "Okay, then I understand, I should thank you."
"Still jealous," Ji Yunqing also stood up and said softly, "What should I do, let me coax you?"
"Okay," Zhou Ming seized this opportunity and stared at the other party, "I'm... very easy to coax."
Ji Yunqing pursed his lips, as if thinking in a bit of embarrassment, then took two steps forward, lightly stepped on Zhou Ming's instep, raised his chin slightly, and quickly pecked him on the cheek.
Zhou Ming didn't move, and there was no expression on his face.
"Oh," Ji Yunqing frowned, "I'm not very good at coaxing people, so just order."
He raised his hand to climb Zhou Ming's shoulder, kissed him proactively, and lightly touched the same soft lips. The taste of mint was on the tip of his tongue, but he cunningly refused to move forward, and the warmth gradually became intense.The moment it was hot, Ji Yunqing stretched back a little distance, panting a bit: "Is it all right?"
"It's late." With a hoarse voice, Zhou Ming reached out and clasped the back of the other's head, facing the slightly widened round eyes, and kissed him back fiercely.
Of course it was too late, the fire had already burned into a prairie fire.
