Chapter 19: Chapter 19(1)

Ginger porcelain mixed broccoli and fried a dish of shredded carrots. Looking at the time, Lu Xingxue has been asleep for more than an hour, and I don't know if he woke up.
She unwrapped the rubber band, straightened her hair in the mirror, and then went upstairs to see her.
In Lu Xingxue's room, the gauze curtains were opened, the floor-to-ceiling windows on the whole surface were not blocked, a room of sunlight, looking out, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, and the blue sky was washing.
Lu Xingxue in a white nightdress sat on the dark floor, blowing her hair with a windpipe. She tilted her head slightly, her neck hanging slightly, her slender fingers running through her hair, occasionally shimmering, which were diamonds on her ring.
Facing the light, she was almost white to hazy, her black hair like seaweed flying in strands.
This picture was too beautiful. Jiang Ci stood by the door, hesitating again and again, or knocked on the door, breaking the peace with a loud voice: "Are you awake?"
Lu Xingxue turned off the hair dryer and turned to respond to her, with a nasal voice, hoarse and hoarse: "I sweated a lot, so I got up and took a bath."
Jiang Ci stepped forward: "Has the fever gone?"
Lu Xingxue: "Retired."
It was only when she got close that she could see that her eyes were red, tender and haggard.
Jiang Ci: "Are you still dizzy now?"
Lu Xingxue: "I'm dizzy, I don't have much strength."
Her hair hadn't been dried yet, she said she was dizzy and she had no strength. Jiang Ci reached for the hair dryer, trying to do it for her.
"I can do it myself." Lu Xingxue sensed her intention.
Jiang Ci: "You are sick. We live together. Shouldn't we take care of each other?"
Lu Xingxue also said similar words. Jiang Ci moved out, and she did not insist anymore. A faint smile appeared in her eyes: "After my childhood, except for the hair stylist, no one else has blown my hair."
Jiang Ci knelt and sat behind Lu Xingxue, opened a hair dryer, and grabbed Lu Xingxue's black hair in his palms, feeling wet and cold.
You spoil her so much, Jiang Lin's words suddenly broke into her mind somehow.
Jiang Ci's mood was subtle in an instant.
The wind from the hair dryer was warm, blowing away the moisture from the hair, and the fragrance of shampoo gradually filled the air.
From the last shower gel to this shampoo, they are all the same fragrance as Lu Xingxue's perfume, which seems to entangle the sense of smell.
The scent is very special. Ginger porcelain is not sure what kind of scent it is. While walking around, I suddenly remembered the big box of makeup and skin care in my room.
Jiang Ci straightened her back: "Lu Xingxue, that carton in my room..."
"It's for you. It's all from the brand. I don't know which brand you are used to, so I picked a little bit." Lu Xingxue said.
Jiang Ci: "...a little bit."
She called such a big box "a little bit".
Lu Xingxue heard what she meant: "You can use it yourself or give it away."
Jiang Ci: "Thank you."
Like Lu Xingxue generously accepting her gifts every time, Jiang Ci did not refuse, but slowly combed the long hair in his hands: "I let you dove last night, but I didn't expect there to be gifts to receive. "
Lu Xingxue turned her head and looked at each other. She said, "Yes."
Asked Jiang Ci again: "Is President Wen okay?"
Jiang Ci: "I was discharged from the hospital this afternoon."
She didn't seem to explain the cause and effect, so Lu Xingxue didn't ask any more.
After the hair was blown, Jiang Ci put away the hair dryer and turned back to ask Lu Xingxue, "Do you have an appetite? Would you like some porridge?"
Lu Xingxue was combing her hair with an ebony comb, only laughing.
Jiang Ci: "?"
The string of beads of the same color tied to the end of the wooden comb swayed, Lu Xingxue turned her head, blinked her eyelashes, and said with a smile, "You are really serious about taking care of me."
"Do you love her more", Jiang Lin's polite tone echoed in her mind again.
Ginger porcelain is stuffed.
The two went downstairs, Jiang Ci went to the kitchen to serve porridge, thinking that Lu Xingxue might be boring to eat alone, so he also served himself a small bowl.
Lu Xingxue had already sat down at the dining table. When Jiang Ci came out with two bowls of porridge, she asked her, "Aunt Zhuang has been here?"
Jiang Ci: "Not yet, I will let her come back tonight."
"Then these...?" Lu Xingxue pointed to the cold broccoli and fried carrots on the table.
Jiang Ci: "I did it."
"..." Lu Xingxue had never seen Jiang Ci cook, let alone eat her dishes.
When Jiang Ci sat down, he smoothly pulled his hair behind his ears: "It's just a bit cold, but the porridge is hot, right?"
"It's okay, it's right." Lu Xingxue's gaze clicked from her earlobe, and a small broccoli was inserted into the mouth with the white porridge.
"I'm not good at cooking, it may not taste good." Jiang Ci said while paying attention to Lu Xingxue's expression.
Lu Xingxue stretched his eyebrows: "No, it's delicious."
She tasted carrot shreds again: "If it weren't for this illness, I don't know that you are so good at taking care of people."
Jiang Ci lowered his head, moved the corner of his mouth, and then took a broccoli and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jiang Ci: "?"
Jiang Ci: "..."
Jiang Ci raised his eyes: "...The taste seems weird, is there?"
Lu Xingxue: "Is there?"
Jiang Ci went to try the carrot shreds again and affirmed: "Yes."
It can be eaten, but I can’t say whether it’s salty or sweet. I follow the steps of the tutorial, and I don’t know where it goes wrong. In short, the two dishes are strange indescribable.
Lu Xingxue smiled softly: "...I have a stuffed nose and no sense of taste."
? ?
So how did you get your "good taste"?
Jiang Ci: "..."
It's still early after drinking the porridge. There is nothing left and right, Lu Xingxue seems to be in good spirits, Jiang Ci suggested that it is better to continue to read the album that was not finished the night before.
Back to the room, the projection was turned on, and the two sat side by side. Lu Xingxue looked at the photo and remembered something, so she explained a few words to Jiang Ci.
These photos are connected with Lu Xingxue's past. Through them, Jiang Ci seems to have experienced her growth.
...
The afterglow of the evening shone on the floor, and the white gauze curtain stirred in the autumn breeze.
Quiet room, pictures are played one after another. The sofa under her was soft and comfortable. Jiang Ci propped her head and watched, her eyelids sank and she fell asleep without knowing it.
...
"Knock, knock..."
"Miss Jiang? Are you there?"
Jiang Ci was awakened by Aunt Zhuang's knock on the door. She suddenly opened her eyes. She didn't know how long she had slept. The sky outside was already dark, and there was only projected light in the room.
Lu Xingxue also fell asleep.
She was resting on Jiang Ci's shoulders, and her fragrant and soft black hair wrapped Jiang Ci's arm.
Jiang Ci: "..."
Lu Xingxue's breathing was a little heavy because of his stuffy nose, and the breath was sprayed on Jiang porcelain's arms. It was warm, like a little animal dozing off through the clothes.
Jiang Ci listened to it for a while and found it funny.
Aunt Zhuang didn't knock on the door any more, she might have gone downstairs. After a while, Jiang Ci's phone vibrated under the pillow. She immediately grabbed the phone, opened the screen with one hand, and answered the phone.
"Miss Jiang, the meal is ready, are you not at home?" Aunt Zhuang asked her.
Jiang Ci deliberately lowered his voice: "Yes, we will go downstairs later."
"Oh, okay." Aunt Zhuang said intuitively: "Did you and Miss Lu just sleep? Did I disturb you?"
Uh……
They did fall asleep, yes...but Jiang Ci thinks this is a little different from the "sleep" that Aunt Zhuang said...
She responded vaguely: "It's okay."
Lu Xingxue rubbed his face, woke up in Jiang Ci's whisper, and got up groggy.
Aunt Zhuang: "Then I will leave Miss Jiang first."
Jiang Ci's shoulders were empty, she looked at Lu Xingxue and told Aunt Zhuang: "Trouble you to come here at noon tomorrow."
Aunt Zhuang: "No problem, do you have anything you want to eat?"
Jiang Ci asked Lu Xingxue: "What do you want to eat tomorrow?"
Lu Xingxue rubbed his temples lightly, just shook his head.
Jiang Ci said to Aunt Zhuang: "It's better to be light."
At the end of the call, Lu Xingxue asked Jiang Ci: "What time is it?"
Jiang Ci: "It's past eight."
Lu Xingxue: "Aunt Zhuang came to cook?"
Jiang Ci: "It's done."
After these two questions, Lu Xingxue remained silent for more than half a minute, and then asked, "Is your shoulder numb by me?"
"..." She didn't mention it. She wanted to rub it when she mentioned Jiang Ci, but Lu Xingxue was a step faster than her.
Lu Xingxue's hand fell on Jiang Ci's shoulder, and the sudden touch made Jiang Ci amazed: "...It's okay, I'm fine."
Lu Xingxue squeezed his fingers from Jiang Ci's shoulder inch by inch, and his tone was soft and hoarse: "Ginger Ci."
Jiang Ci: "Huh?"
Lu Xingxue paused: "You are a little thin."
Jiang Ci: "..."
Jiang Ci looked sideways: "Knocked you?"
Lu Xingxue: "It's a little bit."
Jiang Ci laughed and brushed Lu Xingxue's hand, wanting her to stop squeezing it, but the skin under his palm felt a little warmer than his own.
"...Is it burning again? How do you feel now?" Jiang Ci tried his forehead temperature and went to try Lu Xingxue again.
In the dimly lit room, she leaned forward with the back of her hand on Lu Xingxue's forehead.
Lu Xingxue said slowly, "It will be hot for a while and cold for a while."
Jiang Ci immediately went to the ground, turned on the light, and found an ear thermometer to measure Lu Xing's body temperature.
38.7°C.
"Lu Xingxue, you have to take medicine." Jiang Ci looked serious at the ear thermometer, and walked outside as he said, "I'll get the water, wait a minute."
When Jiang Ci returned, Lu Xingxue was already sitting on the edge of the bed, and she put a heat-relieving patch on herself, and her eyes were down to remove the medicine left by the doctor.
Jiang Ci gave her a cup of water, and she swallowed the medicine with warm water.
Jiang Ci: "Do you have dinner? I will bring it to you?"
Lu Xingxue raised his face: "No, I can't eat it."
Jiang Ci nodded: "Then you have a good rest, I'm at home, and you can find me if you have anything."
Lu Xingxue: "Yeah."
In front of Jiang Ci, Lu Xingxue was lying down, Jiang Ci did not go immediately, and was next to her bedside: "...Don't be polite to me, call me if you can't get up."
Lu Xingxue said softly, with a smile in her eyes: "Okay, Mrs. Lu."
Jiang Ci: "..."
In the huge restaurant, Jiang Ci ate dinner alone, ate a few hastily, and put down his chopsticks dumbly.
Calling to cancel tomorrow's work appointment, she stuffed the dirty dishes into the dishwasher, returned to her room, and lay on her back on the bed.
Lie down quietly for a while with his eyes closed, Jiang Ci turned his head and saw the mother and child book beside the pillow. The bookmark was placed on the "fetal movement" page, and she put the book in the cabinet.
The cardboard box with Forest printed on it was still on the table. Jiang Ci took out the contents in the same way, from skin care to make-up, lay out one by one, and then gave Huo Zhenzhen a video.
Huo Zhenzhen rarely has no night activities. When receiving Jiang Ci’s video, she was putting on a mask and drawing a tattoo design on the tablet. As soon as the video was connected, she pouted and had a fight with Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci switched the camera to show her the things on the table.
Huo Zhenzhen suddenly held his breath.
Jiang Ci: "Choose whatever you like."
Huo Zhenzhen: "Ah!"
Happiness came too suddenly, after screaming, Huo Zhenzhen’s mask was about to fall off her face: "Baby! Do we need to buy so much!?"
Jiang Ci: "...Lu Xingxue gave it."
"Fuck!" Huo Zhenzhen pressed the mask, and the reaction was enthusiastic: "Mr Lu is too good at it! Which woman would dislike this kind of gift!!-I finally feel that kind, that kind of one person can do it. The feeling of being ascended to heaven!"
It was the first time Jiang Ci met such a humble person who didn't describe himself as a chicken or dog.
Huo Zhenzhen confirmed with her: "Can I really have it?"
Jiang Ci: "I can't guarantee you any longer."
Huo Zhenzhen immediately unceremoniously picked two sets of essences, and said: "It saves me tens of thousands. It's good to have a wife. I don't know when my elders will arrange marriage for me. Who doesn't want a deer trip? Where's the snow?"
Jiang Ci: "It wasn't you who was particularly opposed to?"
Huo Zhenzhen made a strong argument: "I am opposed to arranged marriages, but I am not opposed to President Lu~"
Jiang Ci was amused by her: "Have you bought something before you got it?"
Huo Zhenzhen retorted: "Sister, I was conquered by her charm, okay?"
The two watched and talked. If Huo Zhenzhen wanted something, Jiang Ci took it out for her and set it aside. When the camera flashed from a black packaging box, Huo Zhenzhen asked casually: "What is this? I haven't seen this brand."
Jiang Ci distinguishes the foreign language on the box: "Perfume."
Huo Zhenzhen: "It just so happens that I'm tired of all those in my hand. You smell it for me, and I will accept it if it smells good."
Jiang Ci put the phone on the stand, removed the packing box, and when he took out the perfume in the crystal bottle, Huo Zhenzhen called out, "The beauty is 100 points!"
The translucent liquid was like quicksand, Jiang Ci opened the gilt bottle cap and sprayed a pump into the air.
Under the soft light, the atomized perfume refracted the light and slowly landed.
Huo Zhenzhen was very interested: "How is it? What's it like?"
Jiang Ci was startled.
Fragrance diffusion... which perfume Lu Xingxue used?
She sniffed carefully again, and determined that this was the consistent fragrance of Lu Xingxue.
Huo Zhenzhen was still waiting for Jiang Ci's feedback. Jiang Ci closed the perfume cap and stuffed the bottle back into the box.
Seeing that she put the perfume in the drawer, Huo Zhenzhen wondered: "Why do you put it away?"
Jiang Ci: "Not for you."
Huo Zhenzhen: "What is not suitable for me?"
Jiang Ci thought about it briefly: "It just doesn't suit you anyway."
Huo Zhenzhen: "..."
Huo Zhenzhen didn't give up: "It doesn't matter if the incense doesn't suit me. I like the bottle a lot. It's good as a decoration."
Jiang Ci turned to the camera and stopped talking.
Huo Zhenzhen blinked a few eyes: "I also think that perfume may not be very suitable for me."
The two reached an agreement and continued to look down on makeup. Although Huo Zhenzhen no longer insisted on perfume, he was still full of curiosity: "What kind of smell is it so unsuitable for me?"
Jiang Ci muttered, "I can't tell."
Huo Zhenzhen: "Wait, wait, I want that piece of powder...does it smell good?"
Ginger Porcelain took out the powder cake: "It smells good."
Huo Zhenzhen: "Isn't sexy?"
The air was full of familiar fragrances, as if Lu Xingxue was looking at her from a close place. Although it was certain that Lu Xingxue was not here, Jiang Ci couldn't help but turned his head to make sure.
After confirming, Jiang Ci pressed his throat: "Yeah."
"Tsk." Huo Zhenzhen picked another highlight, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the box of lipstick on the edge of the table: "Aci look at that, is that new?"
This time, the porcelain box was not opened, and the box of lipstick was put away.
Huo Zhenzhen: "..."
Huo Zhenzhen: "I guess, this whole box of color numbers doesn't suit me?"
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "I want to collect it."
Huo Zhenzhen helplessly said: "Okay."
After picking things up, the two agreed on a time to meet. Huo Zhenzhen took Jiang Ci again to see the tattoo design draft she had just drawn.
There is a deer painted on the tablet, with high antlers and clear eyes, but the neck is gradually withered and ossified. At first glance, there is a smell of red face and bones.
"The guest's request is just one word: cool." Huo Zhenzhen asked Jiang Ci, "Is it cool?"
Jiang Ci: "It's pretty cool."
Huo Zhenzhen winked his eyes: "If you like it, I can design one for you. It depends on whether you like the elegant deer, the domineering deer, or—"
"No, I don't like it." Jiang Ci interrupted her, "Why do I have a deer tattoo?"
Huo Zhenzhen: "You are very suitable for tattooing a deer, tattooing your wife's surname on your body, it would be too spoiled! If I am President Lu, I must be moved and cry!"
Jiang Ci imagined the scene: "Lu Xingxue would only think I was crazy."
Huo Zhenzhen laughed.
At the end of the video, Jiang Ci separates the ones to keep and the ones to be given away.
With the hour hand pointing to 10, she opened the door to see Lu Xingxue.
Lu Xingxue's room was dark with no lights. With the lights in the corridor and the thin moonlight outside the window, Jiang Ci walked to the bed on tiptoe.
Her hands were a little cold, she raised her hands to her neck, and waited for her body temperature to warm her palms before carefully touching Lu Xingxue's forehead.
The high fever has subsided, Lu Xingxue turned his face to his side, sleeping fairly well.
In the video with Huo Zhenzhen just now, almost all around Lu Xingxue in and out of the conversation. At the time, I only thought it was a joke. Now facing Lu Xingxue up close, Jiang Ci has a subtle sense of embarrassment. .
She reached out and pulled up the blanket that had slipped to her waist, covering Lu Xingxue's shoulders.
The next day, the doctor came to the door and after understanding the situation yesterday, he gave Lu Xingxue a needle again.
Lu Xingxue's complexion improved a lot, she was no longer so sick, and even had the strength to deal with official affairs. When the doctor gave her the needle, she was still talking with Assistant Yao.
Jiang Ci asked the doctor to go to the living room to drink tea and wait. Lu Xingxue was in the back: "Jiang Ci."
Jiang Ci turned around.
Lu Xingxue looked at her: "It's late now, don't you need to go to work today?"
Jiang Ci said, "No job today."
Lu Xingxue bends her lips, smiles at her, and then continues to listen to Assistant Yao's report.
The morning time passed quickly, and the hanging needle was over, and Aunt Zhuang started to cook with vegetables.
Jiang Ci sent the doctor away and went to the kitchen for a few laps before going upstairs.
The floor-to-ceiling window leading to the terrace in the room opened, and a rocking chair stood by the window. Lu Xingxue was lying on the rocking chair and playing Rubik's Cube.
A blanket was randomly placed on her knees, her trousers were empty, her slender ankles were exposed, her bare feet were bathed in the sun, and the white insteps were printed with blue blood vessels.
As the autumn breeze came, the rocking chair swung back and forth gently.
Lu Xingxue's posture was lazy and relaxed.
The Rubik's Cube with chaotic color blocks was quickly arranged neatly in her hands, Lu Xingxue squinted, looked at the light, and disrupted it again in the next second.
When Jiang Ci walked to the terrace and passed Lu Xingxue, the two silently exchanged glances.
Lu Xingxue changed from lying down to sitting.
Jiang Ci leaned against the railing on the terrace, watching Lu Xingxue play Rubik's Cube.
Lu Xingxue flicked the Rubik's Cube flexibly with his fingers, and the flashing light between his fingers gradually drew Jiang Ci's attention.
Lu Xingxue wears a ring on her ring finger. Jiang Ci didn't take a closer look yesterday. Only now did she find that the ring face is like a cat's claw with a few fine-grained rubies inlaid on it. The shape is delicate and quite everyday.
Lu Xingxue stopped, maybe for ten minutes, and the Rubik's Cube was finished again.
Jiang Ci: "...Why can you do it so easily?"
Before, she struggled from the afternoon to the evening, and she was dizzy, but to no avail, she was getting more and more confused.
Lu Xingxue: "There are formulas, it's not difficult."
Jiang Ci: "..."
Not difficult:)
"I teach you?" Lu Xingxue's black eyes contained a smile.
Jiang Ci declined: "I may not remember the formula, so don't."
"I don't think you can't remember, you're lazy, and you don't want to take the time to remember."
Jiang Ci and Lu Xingxue looked at the sound source at the same time, and saw Jiang Lin standing in the middle of the room with a bag on his shoulders.
"...Mom, why are you here?" Jiang Ci hurriedly walked to her.
Jiang Lin groaned: "Why, mom can't come? Xiaobai is sick, I will come to see her."
At this time Lu Xingxue also stood up from the rocking chair: "I made you bother, I am much better now."
Jiang Lin stepped forward and looked at Lu Xingxue: "Ahhh, my face is a little smaller!"
Lu Xingxue: "Then I will eat more and I will bring it back soon."
Jiang Lin: "I brought a can of chicken soup with some herbs in it. Later, you can drink a bowl while it's hot to get rid of your illness."
Lu Xingxue: "I must drink a few more bowls."
Jiang Lin smiled, and Lu Xingxue said again: "It's almost time for dinner, please stay and have lunch with us."
Jiang Lin: "Unfortunately today, I made an appointment with Haohao's teacher. He has been too noisy in school recently....or else, you will be well after two days. If you have time, you will go home with Aji. , How about our family gathering together?"
Jiang Ci was absent-mindedly listening to them coming and going, suddenly being named, looked at Lu Xingxue.
Lu Xingxue also looked at her and said to Jiang Lin: "Okay, I'll make an appointment then."
Jiang Lin happily said, "That's all it is said."
Jiang Lin stayed for half an hour. Seeing the time agreed with the teacher, Jiang Ci sent her down. As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Lin's friendly expression disappeared.
She glanced back at Lu Xingxue’s closed door, took Jiang Ci and quickly walked forward, went down one floor, picked the nearest room to enter, locked the door, and stared at Jiang Ci and asked: "You What's the matter with Lu Xingxue?"
This question has no beginnings and ends. Jiang Ci was asked inexplicably: "Huh?"
Jiang Lin: "If it weren't for me to come this time, I don't know, you two actually sleep in separate rooms?"
"..." Jiang Ci never expected Jiang Lin to touch the room all the time.
Jiang Lin was heartbroken: "Have you been married all these years and have been splitting rooms?"
Jiang Ci: "...No."
"No?" Jiang Lin asked anxiously: "Then why are you splitting rooms now?"
Jiang Ci rolled his eyes: "Lu Xingxue is under a lot of work pressure, and has always suffered from insomnia recently. The doctor said that she has a nervous breakdown. Sleeping alone can improve her sleep quality."
Jiang Lin: "So?"
Jiang Ci said that he believed it: "Otherwise?"
Jiang Lin patted her heart: "I was scared by you. I thought there was a big problem between you! ... So you are taking care of her at home today?"
Jiang Ci: "Ah, yes."
Jiang Lin also felt that "married for three years and kept splitting rooms" is unlikely to happen to the two young people, so she didn't entangle anymore, but couldn't stop muttering: "I said, why did she have a high fever suddenly? My body is not good..."
Jiang Ci: "..."
Jiang Ci and Lu Xingxue had lunch together. Lu Xingxue's appetite has not yet recovered and he still doesn't eat much. He promised Jiang Lin's chicken soup, and indeed drank two bowls.
When she drank the second bowl, she couldn't help but sigh: "Mom's chicken soup is delicious."
Jiang Lin's chicken soup is delicious and not greasy, otherwise Wen Nian won't remember it for so many years. Jiang Ci has no opinion on this conclusion, but Lu Xingxue blurted out the natural and natural "mother", which surprised her a little.
She glanced at Lu Xingxue: "This jar is yours, drink it slowly."
Lu Xingxue put down the spoon, pursing her lips and moving forward: "... Jiang Ci, can you help me?"
Jiang Ci: "Huh?"
Lu Xingxue: "Take a picture for me."
Jiang Ci didn't react: "Taking pictures?"
Lu Xingxue: "Pat me and chicken soup together, I want to send it to my mother."
Jiang Ci: "..."
Lu Xingxue didn't bring her mobile phone, Jiang Ci picked up his own, turned on the camera mode, and pointed at Lu Xingxue.
Lu Xingxue wears a dark green shawl over her plain home clothes. Most of her black hair is wrapped in the shawl, and a few loose strands of hair are rubbing her face, looking tender, lazy and charming. .
"Can I do this?" Lu Xingxue asked towards the camera.
"Yeah." Jiang Ci took a picture and turned the screen to show her.
Lu Xingxue smiled and said, "Remember to send it to me."
Jiang Ci immediately sent her this photo.
Lu Xingxue: "After dinner later, let's go for a walk."
The autumn was high and the sunshine was just right, so it was very suitable for walking and breathing. Jiang Ci picked up his chopsticks again and nodded, "Okay."
After eating, they changed into outing clothes and went out together.
Lu Xingxue was still ill and weakened, so he walked slowly. Jiang Ci cooperated with her, and they paced slowly in the community.
Before walking far, I met Tongtong and her mother who were riding a bicycle.
Tongtong was sweating profusely while riding the bike. Her mother saw that Lu Xingxue's complexion was not good, so she stopped and asked her where she was uncomfortable. It didn't matter. She thanked her for helping last time. The colored bag is out.
The adults stood together and chatted, but Tongtong couldn't help but ridden forward for a long time. Jiang Ci watched her ride crookedly, fearing that she would fall, so he followed.
Tongtong rode "Huh", clutching the brakes and landing on both feet, bending over to pick up the fallen flowers under the rose bushes on the roadside.
It was a half-opened pink rose. I don't know who broke it. Tongtong put it in the palm of her hand and looked at it. On a whim, she poked the short flower stalk into her braid and shook her head and asked Jiang Ci: "Auntie, am I looking good?"
The little girl is pink and tender, and smiles sweeter than flowers. Jiang Ci said, "It looks good."
After receiving praise from the beautiful aunt, Tongtong became a little shy, covering her mouth and laughing.
Looking at her flushing face, Jiang Ci turned his head, Lu Xingxue was still chatting with Tongtong's mother.
Jiang Ci hooked Tongtong's little hand: "Tongtong, will Auntie ask you a question?"
Tongtong: "Wow."
Jiang Ci: "Last time Aunt Lu taught you how to sweeten sour apples, what is it?"
"Oh that! That method is super useful!" Tongtong thought of it, her whole body was excited, her voice was raised, and Lu Xingxue and her mother both looked over.
Jiang Ci: "..."
Jiang Citong blinked: "How about sharing quietly with aunt?"
Tongtong shrank his shoulders: "Then I will tell you gently."
She leaned to Jiang Ci’s ear: "Auntie Lu said, if you’re afraid of sourness, she should find her favorite person to feed it. My mother cut the diced apple for me and fed me. I’m so happy. It's sour and so sweet!"
Jiang Ci: "..."
Silly, that's because apples are sweet, so Lu Xingxue can come up with such a weird way to fool children.
But after thinking about it, Lu Xingxue fed Professor Xing an apple the day before telling her about this method.
Jiang Ci: "..."
This is also a coincidence :)
Lu Xingxue and Tongtong’s mother walked over, and Tongtong’s mother waved to Tongtong,
It’s time to go back to take a nap, and see you aunts.

Tongtong smiled at Jiang Ci, said "goodbye", and then stomped forward with a cigarette.
Jiang Ci straightened up and continued walking with Lu Xingxue outside the community.
She was also thinking about feeding the apples, and quietly looked at Lu Xingxue with the corner of her eye.
In the sun, Lu Xingxue squinted her eyes slightly, her pale face, which was dyed a thin red from walking, which was particularly vivid.
Jiang Ci retracted his gaze and looked forward naturally, but a secret sense of pleasure was growing in his heart.
It's not because of anything else, just that Lu Xingxue is very interesting. It is also a good thing for such an interesting person to appear in his own life.
Then she saw the puppet cat lying in the sun outside the fruit shop.
The puppet cat lazily flicked its tail and licked its small paws from time to time. Jiang Ci had been staring at it since she saw it. After the fruit shop, she was hesitant to stop and tease the cat. Lu Xingxue suddenly asked She: "Somewhat thirsty, do you drink juice?"
Jiang Ci: "Okay!"
Lu Xingxue: "Is orange juice okay?"
Jiang Ci: "Very good."
Lu Xingxue went into the store to buy fresh oranges to squeeze juice, Jiang Ci took the opportunity to stay outside the store, squatted down, and gently raked the puppet’s little head.
Lu Xingxue patiently picked a dozen oranges, stood in front of the cashier, and turned his head to look out.
The puppet cat stood up, the whole cat was rubbing against Jiang Ci. Jiang Ci smiled on his face, squatting still and letting it rub.
Jiang Ci is wearing a white sweater cardigan. The wool is fluffy and soft. Compared with the little snowball at her feet, she looks like a fluffy snowball.
Lu Xingxue regained his attention and saw that there were still snacks for sale in the store, so he chose some to check out together.
Jiang Ci stroked the puppet's head all the way to the tip of his tail. The puppet snored comfortably. She simply held up the forelegs of the puppet and faced it face to face.
One person and one cat looked at each other, Jiang Ci: "Meow~"
The puppet came up and smelled her: "Meow~~~"
Jiang Ci hid her head and smiled: "Meow~"
A pair of straight legs appeared behind the puppet, and the cup filled with orange juice shook in front of Jiang Ci's eyes.
"...Thank you." Jiang Ci put down the puppet, stood up, and took the juice from Lu Xingxue.
Lu Xingxue was still carrying a bag, and all kinds of snack packages could be seen in the open mouth. Jiang Ci felt incredible: "Do you like these?"
Lu Xingxue: "I bought it for you."
Jiang Ci stunned: "Give it to me? I'm not a kid..."
Lu Xingxue smiled and said, "Isn't it? I think you and Tongtong are whispering together, you are no different from a child."
Jiang Ci: "..."
Lu Xingxue: "What kind of kid do you like?"
She asked "what kind of stuff do you like?" instead of "do you like it or not?" Jiang Ci bit the straw and took a few mouthfuls of orange juice, and slowly said, "Good, cute."
Lu Xingxue slowly nodded, and then said: "Go home, I'm a little tired."
The two of them walked back the same way, and went back to their rooms after going upstairs. Jiang Ci was about to put on the headphones to listen to a tune, and the phone rang. As soon as it was Wen Nian's call, she answered it.
Wen Nian: "Aci, have you had lunch? Did I disturb your work?"
Wen Nian's state sounded okay, not as feeble as the previous two days. Jiang Ci said, "I have eaten it, I am today--"
There was a knock on the door, followed by Lu Xingxue's voice: "Jiang Ci, do you want to watch a movie together?"
Jiang Ci didn't close the door, Lu Xingxue knocked on the door and asked directly, interrupting Jiang Ci and Wen Nian's conversation.
Jiang Ci turned around, and Lu Xingxue saw her listening on the phone.
"Sorry, I don't know you are..." Lu Xingxue explained.
Jiang Ci signaled that it was okay, removed the phone, and asked her, "Isn't it tired and not resting?"
Lu Xingxue stood by the door: "Although I don't have much strength, I am not sleepy."
Jiang Ci: "Then you pick the film, I'll answer the phone first."
Lu Xingxue: "What type do you want to see?"
Jiang Ci: "Either way."
After Lu Xingxue left, Jiang Ci finished the last half sentence to Wen Nian on the phone: "I didn't go to work today."
Wen Nian smiled and said: "I heard it all. But how come Mr. Lu, a busy man, has time to invite you to a movie now?"
Jiang Ci: "She is not feeling well. She has been resting at home for the past two days."
"Oh~" Wen Nian dragged the tone: "So you didn't go to work, you were with her?"
Not to mention that Lu Xingxue's illness has its own reasons. Wen Nian is different from Huo Zhenzhen, and Jiang Ci feels very awkward to be teased by Wen Nian. She changed the subject: "After you went back, did Lin Xiao embarrass you?"
Wen Nian: "No."
Jiang Ci: "...Hmm."
Lin Xiao just didn't feel embarrassed, and it was impossible for the two to get along well... Jiang Ci realized that this question was a bit redundant.
Wen Nian: "I just had lunch, I remembered you, nothing else. Hmm... hang up, go to the movie with Mr. Lu, don't let her wait long."
Jiang Ci was worried that she would be thinking wildly when she was bored alone: ​​"I will talk to you for a while."
Wen Nian: "If you want to chat with me, after a while, I will also ask you to watch a movie. I have been busy. Thinking about it now, I haven't seen a movie in the theater for a long time."
Jiang Ci fully agreed: "Yes."
After finishing the call, Jiang Ci put down the phone, quickly took it back and opened the album.
The picture of Lu Xingxue lay quietly in her photo album.
Jiang Ci clicked the delete icon.
The page pops up options: "Delete Photo" or "Cancel".
At the moment Jiang Ci captured the photo, the light was very good, Lu Xingxue's skin was white porcelain, and his eyes were soft, which was simply too beautiful.
Jiang Ci carried the bag of snacks and went to Luxingxue's room.
Lu Xingxue chose a film that was just awarded at the International Film Festival.
The story in the film takes place in the late autumn with falling leaves, which is quite appropriate. When Jiang Ci went in, the movie was just over, the bicycle ringing came from the stereo, and the beautiful girl in camel sweater on the curtain rode a bicycle through the streets and alleys in the city flexibly.
"The phone is answered?" Lu Xingxue asked Jiang Ci.
"It's Wen Nian, I didn't say a few words." Jiang Ci sat down beside Lu Xingxue, and took out a bag of potato chips from the bag.
"Bang! —" There was a dull crash in the movie.
The two did not talk any more, and looked at the curtain at the same time.
In such a quiet afternoon, watching a literary movie, people also become lazy.
Jiang Ci ate the potato chips one after another. The soundtrack of the movie was mixed with the slight "click" sound when she smashed the potato chips. I don't know when it started. Jiang Ci would look at Lu Xingxue from time to time.
Once again catching Lu Xingxue's gaze, Jiang Ci turned his face directly and asked with his eyes.
Lu Xingxue held his forehead and said leisurely: "I think this potato chip is particularly fragrant when you eat it."
