Previous | Table of Contents | Next

That night, Tao Mingzhuo made a large pot of cabbage and meatball soup.

Tao Mingzhuo's family runs a small restaurant, and his parents are both good at cooking. However, as the book Tao Mingzhuo is reading says, genes and heredity... are indeed full of uncertainties.

Tao Xue has been a stable cook since she was a child. Although Tao Mingzhuo is not as stubborn as Tao Xue, he can only barely cook some daily side dishes, and he is a player whose skill fluctuates greatly.

For example, in this pot of cabbage and meatball soup made by Tao Mingzhuo, the ratio of meat to vegetables is slightly imbalanced. It is basically the ratio of six meatballs to one vegetable leaf.

Two bowls, one black and one white, were placed together, each containing meatballs as high as a hill.

Tao Mingzhuo worked efficiently with both hands at the same time, stuffing meatballs into his mouth and picking them up in Jing Ci's bowl: "Eat quickly, the patient needs to replenish his body." Jing Ci: "...Okay." Jing

Ci: "...Okay."

As soon as Ci picked up a ball and put it into his mouth, before he could chew it, he heard Tao Mingzhuo cough and asked nonchalantly, "Is it delicious?"

Jing Ci bit the ball open and after chewing for a while, he commented, "It's very delicious." Fragrant."

Tao Mingzhuo looked at him and said "hmm" after a while, looking a little happy.

He pursed his lips and said to Jing Ci, "I've done a lot."

Jing Ci didn't realize what Tao Mingzhuo meant at first, but later he understood.

After dinner, every time Jing Ci finished a meatball and went to pick up other dishes, Tao Mingzhuo would pretend to be calm and secretly add another meatball to him.

So the meatballs in the Jing porcelain bowl gradually appeared to be eaten more and more.

Because Tao Mingzhuo kept picking up food for him, and because he had a good appetite tonight, Jing Ci couldn't help but eat a lot while watching him eat.

However, Jing Ci's appetite was still limited, and at the end of the meal, he had to leave a few meatballs.

Jing Ci glanced at Tao Mingzhuo, who was humming in the kitchen and refilling his rice with a rice spoon, and felt that he would feel a little sad if he left the meatballs.

So before Tao Mingzhuo noticed, Jing Ci hesitated for a moment, and finally fed the remaining meatballs to Dr. Wen, who had been staring at him for a long time.

After the meal, Tao Mingzhuo and Jing Ci sat on the sofa, each busying themselves with their own things for a while.

Tao Mingzhuo used a tablet to revise the drawing, while Jing Ci turned on the computer and processed the work for a while.

After finishing revising the drawing, Tao Mingzhuo read for a while, trying to solidify his newly established cultural personality.

Five minutes later, Tao Mingzhuo couldn't help but yawned.

After yawning, Tao Mingzhuo immediately raised his eyelids alertly and found that Jing Ci, who was sitting opposite, had a normal expression and was staring at the computer screen intently.

Tao Mingzhuo felt relieved and continued to flip through the book in his hand.

Fortunately, there are still illustrations in the book to look at. However, Tao Mingzhuo stared at the drawing of the DNA double helix for a while, winding down one link after another, and felt even more sleepy.

So Tao Mingzhuo started to lose his mind again.

He calculated in his mind that he would stay at Jing Ci's house for ten days in total. Although he had slept all night yesterday, since he arrived at night, today should be regarded as the official first day.

By the way, I only need to stay here for ten days.

He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but start to think wildly, but today Jing Ci bought such an expensive bowl, making it seem like... he was going to live here for a long time.

When Tao Mingzhuo was feeling uneasy, he saw Jing Ci closing the computer and asked with a smile: "Would you like to watch a movie?"

Tao Mingzhuo was stunned for a moment and said: "Okay."

Jing Ci chose a movie with a good reputation Mystery movie.

When the movie started, Jing Ci placed the computer on the coffee table and sat next to Tao Mingzhuo.

No one spoke at first, only focusing on the content of the movie, but after watching it for a while, Tao Mingzhuo realized that it might not be that the book was too boring, but because he was really tired today.

So he gets sleepy no matter what he watches.

The heroine's face began to appear in Tao Mingzhuo's eyes. Tao Mingzhuo tried his best to open his eyes wide. After a while, he took a deep breath and glanced at Jing Ci beside him.

Just squint for a little while. He thought that Jing Ci was looking very seriously, so he shouldn't be able to notice it. As long as I opened my eyes quickly when he spoke, it would be fine.

Thinking like this, Tao Mingzhuo tilted his head back slightly, completely sank his body on the sofa, and slowly closed his eyes.

Jing Ci was staring at the TV screen when he suddenly felt his shoulders sink.

He lowered his head and found that the young man next to him had his eyes closed and rested his head on his shoulder. His breathing was steady and even, and he was sleeping deeply.

Jing Ci was startled.

After coming out of the supermarket in the afternoon, although Tao Mingzhuo blushed all the way because of the couple's bowl, he still insisted on not letting Jing Ci take anything.

He walked a long way carrying two large bags of things by himself. After returning, he immediately started cooking, which naturally took a lot of physical effort.

The young man has deep eyebrows and a high nose. He has a heroic and handsome appearance. However, the hair is fluffy and soft, hanging down in front of the forehead, making the whole person look very docile.

Jing Ci felt that her heart became warm.

He looked at Tao Mingzhuo's face quietly for a while, then raised his eyes with a smile and let him continue to lean on his shoulder.

Five minutes later, perhaps because the pillow on his shoulders felt uncomfortable, the young man muttered something vaguely and moved his hot body closer and closer.

When Jing Ci was hesitating whether to find him a pillow so that he could lean on him more comfortably, Tao Mingzhuo's body fell down and his head rested directly on Jing Ci's thigh.

Jing Ci: "..."

The thighs were much more comfortable than the shoulders. The young man even rubbed his face on Jing Ci's thighs twice, and then his breathing became steady again.

Tao Mingzhuo had a dizzy dream.

In the dream, he and Jing Ci were still living together, but this time, not only were the soup bowls made for couples, but even the toothbrushes, towels, water cups, and clothes they used appeared in pairs. .

When Jing Ci looked at him in the dream, his eyes seemed to hide a pool of gentle and clear lake water, and just like that time in the bar, he softly called himself "Mingzhuo".

He asked: "Mingzhuo, can you make soup for me tonight?"

Tao Mingzhuo immediately realized that the reason why they were using couple's items together at this moment was not because there was a new discount in the supermarket, nor was there anything else. reason.

But because... they have become a real couple.

Tao Mingzhuo heard himself reply: "Okay."

Then he saw Jing Ci bending his eyes and giving him a nice and gentle smile. He raised his legs and walked towards him little by little. close.

Just when Jing Ci stretched out his hand to hold her hand, his figure suddenly disappeared bit by bit, and then Tao Mingzhuo's eyes turned into chaotic darkness.

After a while, Tao Mingzhuo felt that half of his cheek touched something soft, comfortable and warm, like a pillow filled with soft velvet and with its own heating function.

Tao Mingzhuo didn't know how long he had slept. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he was stunned for a moment.

He saw Jing Ci's face, but from a very novel perspective.

Because Tao Mingzhuo was taller, he usually lowered his head slightly to look down at Jing Ci, but this time, Tao Mingzhuo saw Jing Ci's face from a upward perspective.

The light from the TV screen hit Jing Ci's face, and Tao Mingzhuo's heart suddenly began to beat wildly.

Because he suddenly realized that the thing he was resting on was not a so-called pillow at all, but Jing Ci's thigh!

After noticing Tao Mingzhuo's movements, Jing Ci looked away from the screen. He lowered his head, looked into Tao Mingzhuo's eyes, and said "Ah."

He said: "Are you awake?"

Tao Mingzhuo blushed and tried to get up: "I, I, I..."

"If you just woke up, don't get up too hastily." Jing Ci said, "Take your time."

It seemed that he could tell . Seeing Tao Mingzhuo's embarrassment, Jing Ci rolled his eyes again and said, "It's nothing. I often fall asleep when watching movies. You have been busy all day today and are already very tired."

Tao Mingzhuo sat up in a hurry . , I gasped for air several times in a row, but my heartbeat was still too fast.

He didn't dare to look at Jing Ci, so he could only say dryly: "I, I don't know how I fell asleep..."

Jing Ci smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."

Tao Mingzhuo saw Jing Ci lower his head. , smoothing the wrinkled fabric on the thighs of his pants with his hands.

Both men were silent for a while.

Tao Mingzhuo subconsciously raised his hand and touched the half of his face that had been pressed against Jing Ci's thigh just now. He felt that the temperature was still a little high.

In addition to being embarrassed, Tao Mingzhuo felt more confused because he couldn't understand why he had such a dream just now.

"By the way," Jing Ci finally took the initiative to break the silence. He asked a somewhat abrupt question, "I wonder if you would like to go out to eat next Tuesday night?"

When Jing Ci asked this question, Tao Mingzhuo My first reaction was to feel a little confused.

Because they have had so many meals together for so many days, why do they still need to ask themselves "Do you want to go out?" The answer is of course yes.

"I know there is a pretty good French restaurant, we can try it." Jing Ci added.

"No problem." Tao Mingzhuo thought for a moment and then said, "But let me treat you. I haven't paid back the few meals you treated me to before."

Jing Ci shook his head and said: " This meal means something special to me, so let me invite you, okay?"

His tone was very firm. Tao Mingzhuo was stunned for a while, and then said, "Okay."

The movie had reached the end, and they had. Sitting side by side on the sofa, they were quiet for a while.

After a while, Tao Mingzhuo couldn't help but ask: "So, what kind of special method is it?"

Jing Ci turned his head, looked into Tao Mingzhuo's eyes, and smiled softly.

He did not explain any more, but instead looked away, stood up directly, picked up the remote control, and turned off the TV.

"I'll tell you then." Jing Ci said to him, "Good night."

Tao Mingzhuo: "...Good night."

Next Tuesday, next Tuesday... what kind of special day can it be? Watching Jing Ci leave, Tao Mingzhuo sat on the sofa, still thinking hesitantly.

Tao Mingzhuo thought for a moment, opened the calendar on his phone, and slid to the date of next Tuesday.

Then his eyes widened suddenly.

Tao Xue watered the flowers and then placed the watering can on the windowsill.

Then she collapsed on the sofa, exhaled comfortably, and forced herself to read the parenting guide she had just bought a while ago.

Five minutes later, Tao Xue closed the book with dark eyes, thinking that it would not be too late to read it after giving birth. Her mood was the most important thing. Anyway, today's reading activity ended here.

So Tao Xue turned on the TV and watched with relish the bloody family ethics drama she had been following recently.

Just when she was watching the fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Tao Xue's cell phone vibrated, and she made a "tsk" sound. When she looked at the caller ID, she found that it was Tao Mingzhuo who initiated the video call.

Tao Xue felt strange, answered the phone, and asked: "Why did you call me all of a sudden?"

Before Tao Mingzhuo could say anything, Tao Xue remembered something and asked again: "By the way, I saw you that day It was Sister Li's car. What's going on?"

Tao Mingzhuo was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, my... colleague is actually the younger son of Sister Li's family. You were in the store before. I've seen it before."

Tao Xue said "Oh" in sudden realization.

In fact, Tao Xue couldn't remember exactly what Tao Mingzhuo's "colleague" looked like. She only remembered that he was a handsome guy with a good temperament and was very polite, so he felt relieved.

"I know." As Tao Xue said, she couldn't help but turned her head and continued to stare at the TV screen and said, "Since people are sick, you should help them."

Tao Mingzhuo responded vaguely, He hesitated for a long time without speaking, and finally choked out one sentence: "...My brother-in-law is not at home?"

Tao Xue picked up the melon seeds at hand, stared at the TV and sighed: "He is busy at the company recently, and he is always there when he comes home. I complained in my ears, forget it, I am alone."

Tao Mingzhuo responded and stopped talking.

Tao Xue knew him too well and knew that he must be hiding something in his heart. He glanced at the TV screen and asked: "Hurry up, you come to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing and suddenly come to me, what's the matter?"

on the other side of the screen. Tao Mingzhuo remained silent for a long time. After a while, his expression became shy.

Tao Mingzhuo: "Well, then I'll say it."

The plot on the TV screen gradually reached its climax. Tao Xue's attention was immediately attracted. She didn't hear what he said clearly, but looked at the wrong one. Locking the screen nicely: "Yeah."

"That's the colleague I told you just now." Tao Mingzhuo paused and stammered, "He, he made an appointment with me on May 19th. At dinner that night, she also said... She also said that this day is special. "

Tao Xue's eyes were glued to the TV screen, because the TV series finally progressed to the most exciting plot of her daughter-in-law preparing to pack her bags for divorce, and she didn't want to miss a single frame.

So Tao Xue didn't think twice about what Tao Mingzhuo said, and started to talk about literature: "Wow, this is too weird!"

Tao Mingzhuo said "hmm" with some regret.

"Right." He lowered his head and murmured, "It's not a good time to choose. You have to... you have to choose the day before May 20."

Tao Mingzhuo was quiet for a while, then raised his head again, confused and confused. He said to her helplessly: "Sister, I always feel that he might want to confess to me."

Tao Xue stared at the TV screen, nibbling on the melon seeds at hand, and nodded: "Oh, what a big deal. When you were studying, weren't there a lot of people chasing you? Every time you came to ask me why "Okay, this time you think about how you handled it before and learn to think independently..."

Tao Mingzhuo didn't speak for a long time.

The air was quiet for a moment. Tao Xue paused while eating the melon seeds. Then she suddenly realized something and turned her head sharply.

"...Who?" She asked in surprise, "You just said, who wants to confess to you?"
