Everyone knows that Dr. Jing Shen is very old and refused many consultations due to inconvenience in his legs and feet. So how could it be Shen Ruojing?
She shook her head, feeling that she had thought too much.
-
Shen Ruojing hung up the phone and realized that it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
At six o'clock, when the Chu family came to call her for dinner, she was busy, so she didn't go downstairs. Now she doesn't know if there is anything to eat.
Shen Ruojing stood up and stretched.
She touched her belly and looked forward blankly.
Would it be bad if she went downstairs to the kitchen to find something to eat?
This is the Chu family, not the Shen family...
For the first time, Shen Ruojing felt the inconvenience of living in someone else's home, but at this moment, someone knocked twice on the door, and then Chu Yu's voice came: "Mom, are you finished?"
"I'm done."
Shen Ruojing replied lightly. She originally thought that Chu Yu would push the door open, but unexpectedly the little guy shouted happily: "Mom is done!"
Then there were the sounds of several small footsteps outside.
Shen Ruojing opened the door, but saw no one outside. There were chirping sounds from the kitchen downstairs. She went downstairs and came to the kitchen, where she saw a tall figure wearing a black shirt and black trousers. Wearing an inappropriate pink-blue apron, underneath...?
The pot was steaming, and he put the green noodles into the pot. Next to him, there was a row of crabs. At this moment, four children were standing on the bench, holding tools in their hands, peeling the crabs.
The crab roe, crab meat, and crab legs were separated into four small pieces and placed neatly in three small bowls.
Hearing the sound at the door, several people turned their heads to look over.
Chu Cichen's stiff body looked very out of place when standing in the kitchen. He looked serious and smiled informally. On his tough face, those phoenix eyes stared at her, and his voice was low. Maybe it was the steam in the pot that made him His voice was particularly gentle and down-to-earth: "The noodles will be cooked soon, just wait for another two minutes."
Chu Yu immediately waved his little hand, which was still wearing gloves: "Mom, I peeled the crab roe for you!"
Chu Tianye was not to be outdone: "Mommy, I peeled the crab meat for you!"
Chu Xiaoqi immediately followed suit: "Auntie, Xiao Meng and I peeled the crab legs for you!"
Chu Xiaomeng didn't say anything, but she cut the air with a pair of scissors to express her approval of Chu Xiaoqi's words. Her dinosaur stuffed doll was rarely placed next to her. At this moment, the room was full of acquaintances. She Not afraid.
When Chu Cichen saw this, he couldn't help but said: "I squeezed the spinach juice and made the hand-made noodles for you."
"..." The corners of Shen Ruojing's lips curled up.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that the fighting in the world and wandering around the world in the past twenty years had become a thing of the past. For a moment, she felt that the years were peaceful and she wanted time to stop at this moment.
But she knew that the mystery of that year had not yet been solved, and unknown dangers were coming quietly.
Shen Ruojing lowered her peach blossom eyes, and the smile on her face gradually dissipated. She nodded, sat on the dining chair, looked at the large and four small children in the kitchen, and suddenly had the urge to return to the world.
She wants to protect these beautiful things.
Two minutes later, the crab noodles were brought over by Chu Cichen. The four little ones took off their gloves and came closer. Just when Chu Yu was about to stick to Shen Ruojing, Mrs. Chu suddenly appeared upstairs: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoye , Xiao Meng, Xiao Qi, the four of you, come up here~ The kindergarten uniforms for tomorrow’s school have been modified for you, come and try them out~”
The four little ones immediately ran upstairs.
Chu Cichen looked up and saw Mrs. Chu looking at him and making a cheering gesture.
Chu Cichen: "..."
The restaurant, which had been chattering like a flock of sparrows just now, suddenly became quiet.
Shen Ruojing felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably. She coughed, picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the noodles in the bowl. Unexpectedly, the noodles were so strong and delicious.
She asked in surprise: "Are you good at making noodles?"
"Not good at it."
Chu Cichen said calmly: "I learned it specifically for you."
Shen Ruojing was stunned and saw the man's ears turning slightly red: "I remember that I was on a mission in Peru that year. We ordered a pasta, and you said you still preferred Chinese crab roe noodles."
Shen Ruojing doesn't remember this.
But she does have a Chinese stomach and is very unaccustomed to eating foreign food.
After staying abroad for a long time, she especially misses Chinese food, such as hot pot, spicy hotpot, noodles, stir-fry dishes, etc. She seems to have really thought about it.
But with her casual words, he was able to do this...
Shen Ruojing felt as if something warm had been poured into her chest, which made her brows soften a lot, "Then there's no need to learn. Isn't it easy to eat noodles in China?"
Chu Cichen looked at her: "I didn't know you would return to China at that time. I thought you had been staying abroad, so I thought I could cook it for you at any time after learning it."
After he finished speaking, he asked: "Is it delicious?"
"...delicious." Shen Ruojing answered vaguely.
A bowl of noodles that is quick to eat.
In just five minutes, she had eaten everything like a whirlwind, and she even had some leftovers.
Chu Cichen looked at her, suddenly pointed to the corner of his mouth, and said to her: "There is crab roe stuck here."
Shen Ruojing took out a tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth: "Here?"
"No, here."
Chu Cichen pointed at the corner of her mouth again.
Shen Ruojing was puzzled. Didn't she wipe the spot exactly where he pointed with the tissue?
Xu Shi saw that she didn't understand, so Chu Cichen stretched out his hand. He didn't take a tissue, but directly pressed the corners of her lips with his fingertips. The man's phoenix eyes flashed dimly, and at the corners of her clean mouth After a moment of hesitation: "Here."
His warm fingertips were slightly calloused, and when they touched her skin, there was a rough friction feeling that made her cheeks feel hot all of a sudden.
The night outside is dark.
Only the strip lights were turned on in the indoor restaurant. Under the dim light, something called ambiguity was slowly growing.
"Puff thump thump thump..."
Shen Ruojing heard her heartbeat, and when she subconsciously wanted to retreat, the man retracted his finger in time, and then looked at her with burning eyes: "Okay, it's clean."
"..."
Shen Ruojing lowered her eyes. She picked up the bowl on the table and entered the kitchen to wash it, but Chu Cichen wanted to take it: "I'll do it."
"No, you cook and I wash the dishes."
After Shen Ruojing said this subconsciously, his low laughter could be heard in her ears.
Only then did she realize how natural her words were, as if the two of them were an old couple...
Shen Ruojing hurriedly added: "This is called clear division of labor."
"Well, you're right."
Shen Ruojing: "..."
She washed the dishes neatly, turned around and walked out, and the two of them went upstairs together.
Look at the time, it's already nine o'clock.
The four little ones had long been taken to their respective rooms to sleep by Mrs. Chu. The two stood at the door of Shen Ruojing's room on the second floor. Shen Ruojing said: "I... went in."
"Jingjing." The man's lips curved into a slight smile: "Good night."
The words "good night" in a low voice seemed to scratch her heart, making Shen Ruojing's body tremble.
This bitch man is definitely seducing her.
Shen Ruojing stared at him for a while, then suddenly raised her peach blossom eyes and said, "Mr. Chu, I have something to say to you."
"What?"
Shen Ruojing waved to him.
The man indeed bowed his head.
She slowly came closer to his ear, her appearance was lazy, and the affection in her peach blossom eyes made Chu Cichen's Adam's apple twitch, and his mouth suddenly felt dry.
