In the morning they drank seafood porridge.

The porridge was white and sticky. Halfway through Tao Mingzhuo's drink, he stared at the remaining porridge on the spoon for a while, then subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at Jing Ci's lips.

Jing Ci lowered his head and drank quietly. His soft, reddish lips were slightly open, stained with a little white porridge.

Tao Mingzhuo felt in a trance for a moment. He began to uncontrollably recall last night. Jing Ci was half-kneeling in front of him like this, with his eyes lowered to him...

Tao Mingzhuo's body became tense in an instant. , he forced himself not to focus on Jing Ci's face, but he still couldn't stop himself from recalling the unprecedented and extremely exciting experience last night over and over again.

Sensing Tao Mingzhuo's gaze, Jing Ci raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tao Mingzhuo said dryly: "No...it's okay."

Tao Mingzhuo looked away stiffly, and his Adam's apple moved with difficulty. He lowered his head and realized that after scooping for a long time, he only filled a bowl of air.

Fortunately, Jing Ci was concentrating on drinking the porridge and didn't notice any clues. Tao Mingzhuo cleared his throat and hurriedly filled the porridge.

Before meeting Jing Ci, Tao Mingzhuo had heard about his high efficiency and wise decision-making.

Since Jing Ci took office, the turnover of their projects has been rising continuously. Not only the popular game projects like Tao Mingzhuo's, but also some less popular projects have been turned around by him and rejuvenated through various activities, which can be called " Medical Miracle”.

So Tao Mingzhuo knew that with Jing Ci's ability, since he said he would find a suitable place for Tao Xue to live, this residence would definitely not be any worse.

But he never expected that this place would be Li Lan's home.

Jing Ci is not the kind of person who shows off his wealth. Except for his residence and the very human touch he shows when ordering takeout, Jing Ci is usually the kind of person who is low-key and simple to the extreme, whether he is dressing or traveling.

This resulted in Tao Mingzhuo not feeling how wealthy he was during their normal interactions, and sometimes even forgetting the fact that he was actually his immediate boss.

Until Tao Mingzhuo suddenly remembered that Li Lan was Jing Ci's mother.

At this moment, Tao Mingzhuo watched in confusion as Li Lan pushed open the door of the luxury car in front of him.

She wore a gemstone ring of unknown carat on her hand. When she got out of the car, she was in such a hurry that she couldn't hold the crocodile skin bag firmly and dropped it directly to the ground.

Li Lan: "Oh."

Tao Mingzhuo looked at her and was frightened. He quickly ran forward two steps and helped her pick up the bag.

In his impression, this kind of bags need to be displayed with gloves at the counter. Tao Mingzhuo quickly asked: "Check it quickly, are you not scratched?"

Li Lan took the bag and patted it carelessly. He patted the soil on it and waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's okay even if you scratch it. If the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come back."

Tao Mingzhuo: "..."

Fate is really a wonderful thing, Tao Mingzhuo The time he had known Li Lan was actually longer than the time he had known Jing Ci.

Li Lan has a cheerful temper and talks to Tao Xue about everything. The relationship between the two is not just an ordinary customer, but more like a close friend.

After learning what happened to Tao Xue, Li Lan looked even angrier than Tao Mingzhuo, his biological brother. He wanted to scratch Tang Lijie's face with his fingernails, and scolded him with such avant-garde words that the young men were a little frightened.

Jing Ci's proposal was to let Tao Xue have the baby at Li Lan's house. Li Lan had his own private villa in the suburbs. It not only had a garden and a swimming pool, but also a driver, nanny, doctor, and chef.

While ensuring safety, it is undoubtedly a good place to recuperate your body and change your mood.

Li Lan also thinks this is a good idea.

"What's going on in Xiaoxue's stall? A stinky man who cheats will be rotten down there sooner or later." Li Lan cursed and said, "Don't worry, I usually live alone in this house and it's boring, so tell her to move here quickly. Just live in peace and take care of yourself."

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and started sending voice messages to others: "Hey, Xiao Yang, yes, I am Sister Li, and I want to order some bird's nest ginseng from you. You'd better send it to me before this afternoon..."

Tao Mingzhuo hesitated.

He sighed, turned to Jing Ci and said: "Thank you and your mother for your kindness, but my sister is a stronger person and has a thin skin. She will definitely not live in other people's homes for free... Agreed."

Jing Ci smiled and said nothing, "She will find a way."

Tao Mingzhuo quickly understood the meaning of Jing Ci's words.

Li Lan's plan was very careful. She asked Tao Mingzhuo to call Tao Xue and asked her to take her luggage to the nail salon first.

Tao Xue always thought that she was going to move to Tao Mingzhuo's previous apartment, and she hadn't gone to the store for several days, so she didn't think much about it. After simply packing her luggage, she went there in the afternoon. A trip to the nail salon.

Half an hour later, Li Lan, wearing a small Chanel suit and high heels, pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing Tao Xue who was clearing the table, Li Lan showed a look of surprise and joy: "Oh, Xiaoxue, you're finally back! I came back to look for you after traveling a while ago, but every time you're not around, I can't help but You know how many times you have traveled in vain!" Li

Lan looked at the luggage at Tao Xue's feet and said, "Are you moving to somewhere? Or are you going to travel somewhere?

Regarding acting skills, Tao Mingzhuo, who was sitting next to him, could only try hard to control the expression on his face.

Tao Xue was stunned for a moment, smiled, and said, "Sister Li, I'm not traveling. I've encountered some trouble recently, so I moved to another place to live."

Li Lan pretended to be surprised and clapped her hands and said, "Wait a minute, Mrs. What a coincidence, if you want to move somewhere today, I just want to tell you something."

Before Tao Xue could react, Li Lan whispered in her ear mysteriously. "When I was traveling a while ago, I went to see a lot of oil paintings in the exhibition hall of other people's country U. Although I know that it is difficult to surpass the level of their masters, but compared with the ones I painted before, the gap is still too big. "When I show my works to my sisters in the future, I feel embarrassed to show them."

"I think maybe I am not diligent in class, so I have never been able to draw my own style, so I thought about finding a private painter. , come to practice oil painting for two months," she said.

Tao Xue was startled: "Private painter..."

Li Lan said: "Yes, come and stay at my house, you can give me guidance morning and night, the kind of step-by-step tutorial. I came to you today just to talk about this matter.

"Hiring a professional oil painting teacher is too strict, but I feel more comfortable staying with you. Li Lan smiled and said, "So just think that I owe you a favor. I see that your luggage has been packed and my driver is also outside the door. You might as well just move to my house now. What do you think?" Tao Xue

was confused for a long time before she came to her senses: "Sister Li, it's not impossible, it's just too sudden. I..."

Tao Xue hesitated and looked to Tao Mingzhuo beside him for help.

Tao Mingzhuo raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "Actually, I think Sister Li's proposal is quite good. How about you help her?"

"Oh, it's settled then." Li Lan couldn't help but start to talk. Tao Xue pushed her luggage into the driver's hand outside the door, "By the way, Xiaoxue, please bring your nail polish to my house as well. I haven't had my nails done for a long time. Look at the dead edges on my nails." Pi..."

"It's so awesome."

After returning home in the evening, Tao Mingzhuo couldn't help but sigh: "Your mother is really awesome."

"I know the fighting power of my sister's mouth better than anyone else. , When you scold me, I don't have the strength to talk back." Tao Mingzhuo shook his head, filled with emotion, "But in front of your mother, she didn't even say a word, she was just so dizzy. The land was abducted."

At this time, Tao Xue had successfully moved into Li Lan's villa and had just sent a picture to Tao Mingzhuo, saying that Li Lan had cooked a large pot of sea cucumber porridge for her.

Tao Mingzhuo took a closer look and saw a large pot full of black color. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether there was more millet or sea cucumber in the pot.

The ordinary seafood porridge left over from the morning that Tao Mingzhuo was drinking, which he thought was still edible at first, suddenly became tasteless.

Tao Xue: I'm not exaggerating. One bowl of your sister and I can probably make two pounds of nosebleeds.

Tao Xue: I won’t say much more. I’m going to have some porridge first. After that, I’m going to extend Sister Li’s nails. You should go to bed early.

Tao Mingzhuo: [little frog applauds]

Originally, it seemed that they were causing trouble for Li Lan, but Li Lan easily reversed the situation by saying "teach oil painting and manicure" and turned Tao Xue from the one who owed favors to the one who owed favors. The one who sells favors.

Tao Xue was not only able to live there willingly, but also lived comfortably and securely.

Tao Mingzhuo took a sip of porridge and began to solemnly thank Jing Ci: "I know you don't want to hear me say this, but I am really grateful to you and your mother, and I can't repay you in return."

Jing Ci Putting down the spoon, he smiled faintly and handed the bowl in front of Tao Mingzhuo: "If you want to repay me, help me fill another bowl of porridge."

Tao Mingzhuo was stunned for a moment and took the bowl.

They hadn't had dinner together for a long time. Tao Mingzhuo found that Jing Ci had a good appetite today. This was already the third bowl of porridge he had tonight.

It was obvious that he had made too much porridge in the morning, but Jing Ci's appetite remained unabated, and Tao Mingzhuo felt a little strange.

"Is it because I haven't had dinner with you for too long recently?" Tao Mingzhuo said proudly as he placed the porridge in front of Jing Ci, "You really miss me so much, so when you see me, Has your appetite improved as well?"

Jing Ci looked at him for a moment and didn't speak for a long time.

Tao Mingzhuo also felt that what he said seemed a bit too shameless. He felt embarrassed after realizing it. When he was about to say something more, he saw Jing Ci curling his eyes.

He heard Jing Ci say: "Yes."

This was the first time Jing Ci had dinner in the past ten days.

It's a bit funny to say that, because she was used to Tao Mingzhuo being by her side all the time, and the two of them had eaten three meals together before, Jing Ci had almost forgotten that she had this strange disease.

They can eat breakfast and lunch together, and Jing Ci doesn't actually feel hungry, so skipping a dinner will not have a particularly big impact on his life.

No matter what, she still couldn't eat when she was alone, so Jing Ci cooked dinner every night, used chopsticks to comb through the mess, made it look like she had eaten, put it in the refrigerator, and then told Tao Mingzhuo that it was her own leftovers. dish.

In doing so, there will inevitably be some omissions.

In fact, when Tao Mingzhuo questioned why he had two eggs yesterday, Jing Ci had the idea of ​​confessing to him.

But when Tao Xue called, Jing Ci realized that now might not be a good time.

If he told Tao Mingzhuo about his condition now, it would be like forcing Tao Mingzhuo to make a choice - either eat with him or accompany Tao Xue after get off work.

From Tao Mingzhuo's point of view, he would not be able to accompany Tao Xue when he went home to eat with him. If he did not go home to eat with Tao Xue, he would have to wait until he came home before he could eat.

Based on Jing Ci's understanding of Tao Mingzhuo's character, the result of confessing his illness at this time is that Tao Mingzhuo will feel guilty for either himself or Tao Xue no matter what.

Jing Ci didn't think missing one meal a day would be a big problem, and Tao Xue's situation was much more serious than his own, so he didn't want Tao Mingzhuo to be in trouble at this juncture.

He decided to wait until Tao Xue's affairs settled down and after Tao Mingzhuo was no longer so busy, then find a suitable time to confess to Tao Mingzhuo.

After the meal, they collapsed on the sofa together and spent some rare leisure time.

Jing Ci was handling documents, and Tao Mingzhuo stuck beside him, sketching on the tablet. The subject of the sketch was naturally Jing Ci.

Jing Ci said: "Shouldn't you sit farther away when sketching so that you can observe better?"

Tao Mingzhuo sketched on the tablet and put another sticker on Jing Ci without blushing or heartbeat: "The truth is this, But your partner is better at me, so you can draw like this."

Jing Ci: "..."

Tao Mingzhuo coughed and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I have painted with your mother so many times before, so I know she can speak well. , but I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

As if he remembered something interesting, he said with emotion: "And your mother is really interesting. She doesn't know that we are together today. Before leaving, he secretly pulled me aside and said that we can get to know each other better. He also said that I am two years younger than you, so you can just call me brother. We are so familiar..."

Jing Ci: "Ah. After a sound, he looked away from the document and said with a smile: "Why don't you scream now?" Tao Mingzhuo immediately

looked away with a blushing face: "No, I have to draw now, don't disturb me."

The person speaking was Tao Mingzhuo himself, but now he said dryly, "Don't disturb me." Jing Ci wanted to laugh.

After finishing the work at hand, the two watched a movie together.

Youth love campus movie is about the love between ignorant teenagers.

This time is different from the last criminal investigation film. The two people's status can be said to be reversed. Jing Ci's eyelids became heavy, but Tao Mingzhuo next to him watched the whole process with great interest, stuffing small pieces into his mouth while watching. snack.

When he was about to watch the end, Tao Mingzhuo suddenly said: "The feeling of secret love is so sour... Fortunately, they finally succeeded."

After a long time, he heard Jing Ci beside him gently "Hmm" said.

Tao Mingzhuo looked sideways and realized that Jing Ci had already closed his eyes and was in a half-dream state. He probably didn't hear what he was saying clearly.

His face looked a little tired. Tao Mingzhuo paused, picked up the blanket covering the two of them, and carefully covered Jing Ci.

Tao Mingzhuo said to him again very softly: "Thank you."

Jing Ci didn't seem to hear him. Tao Mingzhuo turned around and looked at the screen for a while, and then suddenly said without thinking: " Jing Ci, I...I will be good to you."

Jing Ci was extremely tired at this moment. He could vaguely hear what Tao Mingzhuo said, but his brain was unable to think about what the person next to him said.

Jing Ci responded vaguely.

Tao Mingzhuo was quiet for a long time, and then he said shyly: "I don't mean anything else, it's just because we are together now and you are so good to me, I have always been curious, so I I want to ask you..."

Jing Ci was not completely asleep. He opened his eyes slightly and tried hard to hear what Tao Mingzhuo wanted to ask.

But after a long time, Tao Mingzhuo didn't speak again.

It took so long that Jing Ci fell asleep, and he closed his eyes again, about to fall into a comfortable dream again.

In his daze, he suddenly heard Tao Mingzhuo ask himself in a very soft voice: "Jing Ci, why... did you fall in love with me at that time?"
