After half an hour of eating, Zhou Jing drank Wuliangye and ate a bowl of rice, then brought the cake over, inserted a row of candles, lit it, turned off the kitchen lights, and looked at that pretty red face.
, said softly: "Sister Qin, make a wish!"
"Okay!" Qin Xiaoqian nodded, clasped her hands and put them on her chest, closed her eyes, and moved her lips slightly, as if she was mumbling a prayer. After a long while, she smiled, blew out the candles with Jingjing, and divided the cakes.
Three portions were made, and the smallest piece was handed to Jingjing.
Jingjing ate the cake and asked curiously: "Mom, what wish did you just make?"
Qin Xiaoqian pursed her lips and smiled, took out a tissue, wiped the cream from the corners of Jingjing's mouth, and said softly: "Of course I hope my little baby can be healthy and happy!"
"What else?" Jingjing suddenly flashed her big eyes and continued to ask.
"Anything else?" Qin Xiaoqian's eyes were watery, she glanced at Zhou Jing, and then said, "No more, this is my only wish."
Jingjing was a little disappointed, and said with a small mouth: "I didn't ask dad to come back early!"
Zhou Jing coughed, stretched out his hand to touch Jingjing's little head, and said with a smile: "Of course, it is my mother's biggest wish, but she didn't say it out loud."
Qin Xiaoqian looked gloomy, put her hand against Bai Nu's chin, and changed the subject: "Xiao Jing, will Jiani come back for the New Year?"
Zhou Dingding nodded and said with a smile: "I will be back on the 30th night. I will only stay for three days and will leave on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year."
Qin Xiaoqian looked surprised and said in confusion: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhou Jing felt a little helpless and sighed: "We are busy working on the franchise store business. They have a heavy workload this year and their holidays have been halved."
Qin Xiaoqian nodded, stood up, cleared the table, and whispered: "It only takes three days, you will soon become the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl!"
"Then what can we do?" Zhou Jing smiled helplessly, helped her pick up the dishes, then returned to the sofa with Jingjing in his arms, took out a small red envelope from his pocket, handed it over, and said softly: "Jingjing,
My uncle will come over on New Year’s Eve, and this is the lucky money for you!”
Jingjing took the red envelope, opened it, looked at the brand new banknotes inside, and said happily: "Thank you, uncle, I now have a lot of lucky money!"
"There will be more in the future!" Zhou Dingding nodded, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said with a smile: "Jingjing, it's getting late, uncle is leaving."
Jingjing hurriedly grabbed him, pouting and shaking her head: "Uncle Zhou, don't leave so early. Please play with me for a while longer!"
Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "What are you playing for?"
"Hide and seek!" Jingjing jumped down and went back to the house to find the scarf.
Qin Xiaoqian came out of the kitchen, came to the sofa and sat down, touching the delicate bun next to her ears with her hand, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You see, this child is very close to you now, and he often yells for you to come over and play.
"
Zhou Dingping lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "This little guy is very lovable. I miss him so much when we haven't seen him for a while."
Qin Xiaoqian pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Really?"
"Of course it's true, including you. Pao-shu_bar.8.)" Zhou Jing thought secretly, then sighed and nodded lightly.
Jingjing ran out of the bedroom quickly, holding a black tube top in her hand, shouting loudly: "I can't find the scarf, so just use this. Which one of you two comes first?"
Qin Xiaoqian blushed, hurriedly walked over, grabbed the tube top, and shouted in a low voice: "Jingjing, don't be ridiculous, you can't use this!"
"Then what's for?" Jingjing blinked, an innocent look on her face.
Qin Xiaoqian was a little dumbfounded. She held her little hand and whispered: "No need for anything. Let's go. Mom will take you to take a bath!"
"Okay!" Jingjing nodded and followed Qin Xiaoqian to the bathroom. Still a little worried, she turned around and shouted: "Uncle Zhou, don't leave yet, you have to tell me a few more stories."
Zhou Jing smiled and nodded, watching the two of them go to the bathroom, extinguishing half of the cigarette, then turned to go to the study, sat down at the desk, picked up a book on economics, and flipped through it at will, and soon became fascinated.
About forty minutes later, Qin Xiaoqian opened the door and came in. She was wearing white pajamas, holding a towel in her hand, wiping her wet hair, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Go sit outside, the little one has been put to sleep by me."
Zhou Jing smiled, put down the book, and went to the sofa in the living room with her. They sat down separately, but neither of them said a word.
Qin Xiaoqian's expression was a little unnatural, she looked around and whispered: "Are you thirsty? I'll get a drink?"
"No need." Zhou Jing sat cross-legged on the sofa, picked up a handful of playing cards from under the coffee table, and said with a smile: "How many cards?"
"Okay!" Qin Xiaoqian turned sideways, put her legs together gracefully, and whispered: "What are we two playing? I'm not very good at playing cards."
"Seven kings, five, two, three!" Zhou Jing shuffled the cards, looked at the pretty face as beautiful as a peach and plum, his heart moved slightly, and chuckled: "Let's add some luck, whoever loses can sing to the other party, how about it?"
Qin Xiaoqian bit her lip, shook her head and said, "No!"
Zhou Jing smiled and whispered: "You may not lose."
"Don't do it then!" Qin Xiaoqian stretched out her hand to grab the card and said with a carefree look on her face: "Let's change it to something else!"
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, looked at the orchid-like beautiful hands, and said softly: "Dancing?"
Qin Xiaoqian's face turned redder and redder, she glanced at him and coldly snorted: "No!"
Zhou Jing sighed and said softly: "This won't work, that won't work either, what do you want to bet on?"
Qin Xiaoqian smiled and whispered: "Well, if you lose, use your weekend time to play with Jingjing for an hour or two to make her more lively."
Zhou Dingding nodded and asked casually: "Am I winning?"
"If you win, you win!" Qin Xiaoqian pursed her lips slightly, with a sly smile on her pretty face.
"It's not fair!" Zhou Jing played a card and lowered his voice: "I won. You have to spare two hours every weekend to accompany me!"
Qin Xiaoqian frowned slightly, looking happy, and whispered: "You are not a child, how can you use someone to accompany you!"
"Why not?" Zhou Jing twisted the playing cards in his hand and said with a smile: "I also want to become lively, but I just don't have the chance."
Qin Xiaoqian was silent for a long time, then she stroked her hair and whispered: "Okay, if I lose, I will play poker with you every week."
Zhou Jing's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Really?"
"Of course!" Qin Xiaoqian checked the points on hand, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "In the best-of-three games, I'm going to win the first game, with only fifteen points left."
Zhou Jing smiled, looked at the cards in his hand, and said with some disappointment: "It depends on the situation, you can't get back the first one!"
After playing one hand of cards, Qin Xiaoqian won seventy points, but lost the next two hands. While she was frowning and sighing, she saw Zhou Jing taking out a few playing cards from his sleeves, and couldn't help but get angry and snorted coldly.
: "You're cheating, no, I win."
Zhou Jing nodded with a smile and whispered: "Let's make a bet. As long as you want to win, you will definitely not lose."
Qin Xiaoqian glanced at him, then turned and entered the kitchen. Quickly, she brought a bottle of red wine and two goblets. She came to the sofa, opened the red wine, filled two glasses of wine, picked up the glasses, and shook them gently.
, staring at the reddish-brown wine industry, whispered: "Xiao Jing, thank you, I want to thank you for your constant concern and care."
Zhou Jing picked up the wine glass, bumped it with her, took a sip, savored it for a while, and said with a smile: "Don't get drunk."
"I'm not afraid even if I'm drunk!" Qin Xiaoqian stretched out her white and slender fingers, touched the delicate jasper earrings on her earlobes, and whispered: "I trust you!"
Zhou Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head. He raised his head and took a sip of wine. He shook his head and said, "I don't trust myself. You are too beautiful!"
Qin Xiaoqian smiled brightly, shook her wine glass gently, and said with some melancholy: "Is there really no pure friendship between men and women?"
"Maybe." Zhou Jing raised his glass and said with a smile, "Cheers to pure friendship!"
"Cheers!" Qin Xiaoqian elegantly raised the wine glass, bumped it lightly with Zhou Jing, and slowly drank the wine with a clanking sound. A bright red appeared on her pretty face, and a mesmerizing light flashed in her water eyes.
She put down the wine glass, put her hand against her chin, and hummed in a low voice, her voice was clear and gentle, and her eyes were wandering.
"All the things you said today, changed my perspective in every way."
"These things count to mean somuchtome,Intomyfaithyouandyourbaby."
Zhou Jing listened silently, tapping his feet lightly, not speaking, just drinking quietly, listening to Qin Xiaoqian humming English songs. Before he knew it, the bottle of red wine was empty, and he actually felt a little drunk.
.
After a long silence, Zhou Jing raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Seeing that it was already past ten o'clock at night, he turned around and said, "Okay, Sister Qin, it's time for me to go back. You should rest early."
Qin Xiaoqian nodded, walked to the clothes rack, took off his suit, helped him put it on, and sent it to the door. She whispered: "When you are unhappy, just come and sit. The door here will always be open for you."
"Thank you." Zhou Jing looked at her deeply, waved, then turned around and went downstairs, got into the car, lit a cigarette, frowned and smoked, until the lights upstairs went out, he started the car and left the community.
, disappeared into the night.
Qin Xiaoqian stood quietly in front of the window, motionless. After a long time, she sighed, turned around and came to Jingjing's bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping little guy, with a trace of relief on her pretty face.
.
Jingjing's curved eyelashes trembled a few times, then she suddenly turned over, stretched out her little hands, hugged the pillow, and muttered vaguely: "Uncle, don't run, I caught you!"
Qin Xiaoqian secretly snickered, helped Jingjing tuck the quilt, then tiptoed out, returned to her room, lay on the bed, turned on the lamp, picked up the book on the bedside table, and read through it.
After a while, the cell phone rang suddenly. She picked up the phone, glanced at it, and hurriedly answered the call. She frowned and said, "Sister-in-law Xiuzhen, why did you call me so late?"
"Open the door quickly. I was standing outside. I thought he would stay overnight, so I didn't dare to come in. Xiaoqian, I lost my key, so I can only spend one night at your place!" came the phone call.
Here comes Zheng Xiuzhen’s embarrassed voice.
"You, you are always careless!" Qin Xiaoqian felt helpless, got up and opened the door, but saw Zheng Xiuzhen holding a cake box in her hand, her pretty face turned pale from the cold, she quickly took the cake and let her into the room.
He chuckled and said, "We have nothing to do. You are the only one who is suspicious and always refuses to believe me!"
"Believe it, how can you not believe it!" Zheng Xiuzhen chuckled, took off her windbreaker, hung it on a hanger, walked to Qin Xiaoqian, held her arm, and said with an ambiguous expression: "Everyone is already in the car, what's the matter?
You have been looking upstairs, Xiaoqian, you are really a person, you are driving people out in the middle of the night, it is so unkind!"
Qin Xiaoqian spat and said with a blushing face: "What can we do? It's better not to let him get under the bed!"
"What's wrong!" Zheng Xiuzhen curled her lips, raised her white chin, and said angrily: "If it were me, huh!"
"How about you?" Qin Xiaoqian frowned and snorted coldly: "How dare you cuckold my brother?"
"That's not necessarily the case!" Zheng Xiuzhen smiled, walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up the empty bottle of red wine, shook it, then looked at the playing cards next to her, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You are obviously red.
Luan Xing moved, but he still held on. If you ask me, it won’t take half a year, and he will definitely be submissive. I’m afraid that at that time, he will just want to keep others in trouble..."
Before she finished speaking, Qin Xiaoqian blushed and rushed over in embarrassment. The aunt and sister-in-law were entangled with each other, and they quarreled on the sofa for a long time before giggling and entering the bedroom.
