Previous | Table of Contents | Next

Doctor Wen was very hungry because he had not eaten his supper.

It looked at the toilet door that had been closed for an unknown amount of time, shook its tail, and let out a loud "ouch" inside in displeasure.

However, no one paid attention to it. Doctor Wen let out another "woo", curled up his chubby body in front of the toilet door, and reluctantly began to sleep.

In the toilet, the temperature in the small space rose little by little. The air was quiet. No one spoke, and only breathing sounds of different frequencies could be heard.

After a moment, Tao Mingzhuo lowered his head in embarrassment, and said with a somewhat confused breathing: "You... wash your hands quickly."

Jing Ci did not speak, but quietly stared at the sticky patch on his palms, and then he His eyes turned and fell on the hem of his shirt.

Tao Mingzhuo followed anxiously and found that Jing Ci's shirt was also stained with white specks. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't even speak.

He held it in for a long time, not knowing what to say, and finally apologized in a confused way: "I'm sorry, you... wash your hands first."

"And I told you in advance just now." The young man felt aggrieved. Di whispered, "Why... why didn't you let go earlier?"

Jing Ci finally raised her eyes, smiled at him, and said, "Sorry, it's my problem, I thought it would take a while for you to... ..."

Jing Ci paused subtly and did not finish the second half of the sentence.

But Tao Mingzhuo understood what he meant instantly, and his face suddenly changed color.

Jing Ci turned on the faucet with a normal expression and began to rinse his palms. Knowing that Tao Mingzhuo was thin-skinned, he immediately comforted him softly: "It's okay."

After a while, Jing Ci noticed that the young man next to him put his face close to his. In his own ear, he began to defend in a low voice vaguely: "Actually, when I usually do it by myself, it definitely takes a lot longer than this time, but because it's you, there's nothing I can do about it..."

The young man The boy's self-esteem was really interesting, and Jing Ci couldn't help laughing. He turned off the faucet, raised his eyes, and wanted to say something.

But when she looked in the mirror, Jing Ci was distracted for a moment.

The tall young man standing behind him was also looking at himself through the mirror.

His face was already extremely red, and he looked shy, but his eyes were so hot, and the light in them was so bright that it made people's hearts tremble.

After the two people's eyes met, Tao Mingzhuo hugged Jing Ci's waist from behind. He put his chin on Jing Ci's shoulder, rubbed his face affectionately against his neck, and did not speak for a long time. .

After a moment of silence, he murmured Jing Ci's name.

"...Jing Ci," he said, "I like you so much."

A young boy who is clumsy in everything he does. He is extremely shy but still pretends to be calm. Even when he talks about love, he only speaks the simplest and most unpretentious words. Say "I like you so much".

But just such a young and clumsy person can always fill Jing Ci's chest very full.

Jing Ci turned her face slightly and gently kissed the tip of Tao Mingzhuo's nose.

They had only been together for about two weeks, and they should have gone out for dinner, fun, and sweet dates in their free time like other young couples in love.

But what happened to Tao Xue was really sudden.

Jing Ci originally had the heavier workload among the two, but Tao Mingzhuo's busyness in the past two days made even a high-intensity worker like Jing Ci worried about him.

Tao Mingzhuo's game project team has recently started preparing for its anniversary, so his workload during the day has increased sharply. After work, he has to drag his exhausted body to Tao Xue's house to chat and walk with her to change his mood. When he gets home, It's basically nine or ten o'clock in the evening.

Tao Mingzhuo had been spinning like this for several days. Not to mention taking time out to date Jing Ci, he fell into a semi-paralyzed state as soon as he got home.

Tao Xue goes to bed early, so she eats dinner early every day.

Tao Mingzhuo got off work half an hour later than her usual dinner time. In order to prevent Tao Xue from spending extra energy cooking for herself, Tao Mingzhuo lied and told Tao Xue every time I came to see her after dinner.

It was already late at night after arriving home, and Tao Mingzhuo would feel dizzy and hungry every time.

At first, Jing Ci would wait for Tao Mingzhuo to have dinner with him when he got home, but by the end of the day, Tao Mingzhuo himself felt a little embarrassed.

Although Tao Mingzhuo enjoyed the warm time of having dinner with Jing Ci, he was not willing to let Jing Ci starve while waiting for him.

He originally felt guilty for spending so little time with Jing Ci these days, and now he didn't want Jing Ci's quality of life to be indirectly affected by him.

Tao Mingzhuo feels that health is the most important, and there will be more opportunities to eat together in the future. So he solemnly warned Jing Ci not to wait for him to go home to eat in the future, and not to starve his stomach.

Tao Mingzhuo said seriously: "One last time, don't wait for me to eat together, otherwise I will be angry."

Jing Ci looked at him at that time, seemingly hesitant to speak, but seeing Tao Mingzhuo's firm expression, he finally decided He smiled and nodded and said, "Okay."

Tao Mingzhuo returned home later than usual today.

When he opened the door, Tao Mingzhuo saw Jing Ci half-crouching at the door, combing Dr. Wen's hair.

Seeing Tao Mingzhuo come back, Dr. Wen immediately ran forward happily and rubbed his legs. Jing Ci took the hair comb in his hand and stood up.

Tao Mingzhuo said to him: "Sorry, the road is a bit busy."

Jing Ci smiled: "It's okay."

Tao Mingzhuo asked: "Have you eaten?"

Jing Ci nodded: "I've finished it, the rest of the meal Put it in the refrigerator."

Tao Mingzhuo nodded with satisfaction when he heard that Jing Ci had finished his dinner.

When Tao Mingzhuo came home two days ago, he would always find that the ingredients in the refrigerator had not been touched much. When he asked Jing Ci what happened, Jing Ci said it was because he ordered takeout at night.

Later, seeing that Tao Mingzhuo was extremely tired when he got home every day, eating either instant noodles or frozen food, Jing Ci chose to cook by himself at night.

Tao Mingzhuo was a little embarrassed at first because he couldn't help him at all, and Jing Ci would have a heavy workload alone.

Jing Ci saw through his thoughts and just smiled and gave him a nickname: "Then I can only trouble you to be my 'leftovers processor' for a while."

Tao Mingzhuo felt hot and moved closer to him. He said in his ears: "You can't get what you ask for."

So after Tao Mingzhuo came home in the past two days, he would see Jing Ci's leftover rice in the refrigerator.

At this moment, Tao Mingzhuo opened the refrigerator and found that today's meal had been carefully sealed with plastic wrap by Jing Ci, including one vegetarian, one meat, two fried eggs, and a large pot of meatball soup.

He heated the leftovers and served them, devouring them immediately.

Jing Ci sat opposite him and worked quietly. Tao Mingzhuo peeked up while eating. Seeing his peaceful and beautiful profile, he felt his heart itch and at the same time feel a little guilty.

Tao Mingzhuo put down his chopsticks and promised Jingci: "I will come back as soon as possible tomorrow."

Jingci looked at him, shook his head and said, "I still want to stay with my sister for a while."

Tao Mingzhuo wanted to say something more, but Jingci Ci calmly changed the topic from dinner to Tao Xue: "Has your brother-in-law done anything recently?"

"Tang Lijie has always said that he wants to interview my sister, but my sister is in a bad mood now, and he has no good intentions. , I might tell you what will happen after we meet." Tao Mingzhuo paused and then said, "Anyway, we have decided to divorce. Even if we can't divorce during pregnancy, we will definitely divorce after the child is born, so I didn't ask her to go at all. See you."

"Then this bastard started pestering my sister in the past two days." Tao Mingzhuo took a deep breath, "When my sister didn't answer his call, he started to block the door and waited at the door for two or three hours before leaving. , and came every day, and my sister threw away all the nutritional supplements, but he still delivered them."

Jing Ci frowned: "Block the door?"

Tao Mingzhuo nodded: "I have asked my sister to change the door code. "But I'm still worried, so I'm thinking about letting her move to the apartment I lived in in a few days. At least it will be safe."

"My sister is now 1 month old, and I can't take care of her when I'm at work during the day. " "He breathed out, "Besides, I am a grown man, and some things may not be so convenient. I just want to find a nanny to accompany her, so that I can feel more at ease."

Jing Ci agreed: "This will indeed be convenient. "Some."

"But my sister is stronger. She always thinks she can do it alone." Tao Mingzhuo shook his head and said helplessly, "I don't know how to talk to her about this.

" Porcelain is thoughtful.

Tao Mingzhuo sighed and stood up: "I'll think of something else, so I won't say anymore... I'll wash the dishes first."

Jing Ci looked at him and nodded.

Tao Mingzhuo walked to the kitchen carrying the used dishes and chopsticks.

He came to the sink and looked down, only to find that there was no used bowl in the sink.

Tao Mingzhuo was stunned for a moment.

There is actually a dishwasher at home. Jing Ci eats earlier than she does. Logically speaking, she just needs to leave the used bowls in the sink and throw them into the dishwasher after she comes back to finish the meal.

Maybe it was because Jing Ci didn't use many bowls for dinner today, probably only one or two, so she washed them in advance. He thought so.

Tao Mingzhuo pursed his lips. Although he still felt a little strange, he didn't think much about it. He just bent down and put the dishes that needed to be cleaned into the dishwasher.

Then he walked to the refrigerator in a good mood, ready to wash a peach and eat it.

In fact, Tao Mingzhuo had a very full meal today, and it was even rare to be considered full.

But he still had to wash a peach, because Tao Mingzhuo's purpose of washing peaches in the past two days was not just to eat peaches.

Opening the refrigerator, he chose a big, soft peach.

Before closing the refrigerator door, Tao Mingzhuo's eyes fell on the groove on the side of the refrigerator door. He noticed that the groove was empty.

This place is where they usually put eggs.

Tao Mingzhuo's hand paused, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Because he suddenly recalled that when he was picking up the fruit yesterday, he seemed to have casually glanced at the groove on his hand.

Tao Mingzhuo remembered clearly that when he looked at this place last night, there were only two eggs left in it.

After closing the refrigerator door, Tao Mingzhuo specially edited a memo on his mobile phone to remind himself to buy more boxes of eggs when buying ingredients this weekend.

Tao Mingzhuo finally realized what was wrong.

There were clearly only two eggs left in the refrigerator last night, and Jing Ci just told himself that what he left for himself was his "leftover" meal.

But Tao Mingzhuo ate two fried eggs tonight.

Tao Mingzhuo turned his head blankly. He first looked at the sink at hand, and then his eyes dropped and fell on the roaring dishwasher.

Jing Ci heard footsteps coming from not far away.

He looked away from the screen, raised his head, and saw Tao Mingzhuo standing in front of him.

The young man was holding a peach that was still dripping. He didn't speak, his expression was dark and unclear, he just looked straight at his face.

Jing Ci was startled: "What's wrong?"

Jing Ci saw Tao Mingzhuo pursed his lips and walked a few steps in place as if he was a little anxious. After a while, he took a deep breath and raised his head to look at himself again. .

"Jing Ci," he heard Tao Mingzhuo ask, "did you not have dinner at all?"
