In order to make breakfast for Shang Shuze, Jin Yuanqian spent most of the night in Shang Shuze's new residence. But unlike before, she now lived in the guest room instead of Shang Shuze's master bedroom.
Both parties involved made a tacit agreement not to mention it, as if everything in the past had really never happened, and they had a normal relationship between employer and employee.
It was already too late when she arrived at Shang Shuze's house that night. After giving Xia Wanwan the last tutoring of the semester, Yuan Qian paid the bill and left. She bought ready-made meals on the way, but did not want to arrive at Shang Shuze's house.
When they arrived at the residence, someone was already cooking at home. It was strange to go in instead of back out. After Yuan Qian hesitated at the door for a while, he finally put the things he had packed on the table. At this moment, Shang Shuze took him to cook.
The cooking items arrived in the living room.
"Go get the dishes and chopsticks. I'm hungry. It's time to have dinner." No matter what Yuan Qian thought, Shang Shuze took out the things Yuan Qian brought and laid them out.
Yuan Qian only took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks. After placing the bowls and chopsticks in front of Shang Shuze, she nodded and went upstairs.
"Stop." Somewhat annoyed by this girl's behavior, Shang Shuze stood up suddenly and said with displeasure, "Go and get an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. I can't finish eating so much food."
It was clearly a scolding, but there was still a softness to it. After saying this, Shang Shuze moved his chopsticks first. When Yuan Qian came out, he handed over his bowl as a matter of course, "Help me get some food on the way, thank you."
"
It was a bit funny, but she just laughed in her heart. After putting away the two bowls of rice, Yuan Qian carefully took a bite of vegetables to eat. Not to mention, Shang Shuze's cooking skills were not bad, at least he could eat it.
"There's a lot of meat, you should eat some." Shang Shuze's face turned ugly again when he discovered that Yuan Qian was completely on a vegetarian diet. He forcefully added some meat to the former's bowl, and he explained in a troubled manner:
"Don't waste food. Anyway, I will deduct the cost of leftover food from your salary."
With Shang Shuze's threats, Yuan Qian had no choice but to help share a lot of food. By the time the two of them finished the meal, her belly was already a little bulging and she looked fat.
A small circle, really cute and tight.
"Brother Shang, I'm going to wash the dishes." He stood up, but his abdomen was bloated and uncomfortable. But thinking of his responsibilities, Yuan Qian hurriedly said something positive.
Shang Shuze just watched her work without saying a word. Why is this girl so stubborn? In fact, as long as she softens a little, he is not without hands and feet, and he will not be unable to do this little work. But she
He didn't say it, and he didn't take the initiative to mention it. It was already difficult to maintain the current situation, and he didn't want to scare her away again. He took it easy and took his time. Anyway, he still had time.
"Yuan Qian, let's have a drink." When Yuan Qian came out again, Shang Shuze was about to go upstairs. He pointed at the cup on the table in the living room. He mentioned it and went upstairs without looking back.
Yuan Qian.
Yes, since the conversation between the two a week ago, he no longer calls her Qianqian as affectionately as before, but calls her Yuanqian. It seems that he really wants to completely break the bond between them.
.
Yuan Qian was startled for a moment when she heard Shang Shuze's name. Then she smiled as if she didn't care and walked slowly to the side of the drink. She didn't know what the yellowish liquid was. Yuan Qian didn't think too much.
He picked up the cup and took a sip.
It's sour, a little sweet, and has the smell of vinegar. It's apple cider vinegar. Yuan Qianchi thought of the two bottles of apple cider vinegar that he had frozen in the refrigerator two days ago. The corners of his lips curled up, but he froze the next moment.
live.
That night, Yuan Qian kept flipping through her textbooks. After all, the exam was coming soon, so she should put more thought into it. But somehow, slowly, she became distracted and could no longer concentrate.
It was destined to be that she couldn't sleep well! After Yuan Qian washed herself, she went to bed and sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms, but her mind wandered to some remote corner. Her stomach was still a little bloated, and it seemed that she would not be able to eat in the future no matter what.
So full.
Suddenly there was a light knock on the door, and soon Yuan Qian heard Shang Shuze's clear and magnetic voice, which stirred up the tenderness of the night, "Yuan Qian, are you asleep?"
He honestly put on his clothes and got out of bed. The moment Yuan Qian opened the door, he met the man's sharp-jointed hand and was about to knock it again. He stopped his hand in mid-air, and when Shang Shuze realized what he was doing, he took it back, "Today
I ate too much late at night and don’t want to sleep yet. Are you sleepy? If not, we can go play cards.”
As he spoke, a pair of poker cards appeared in his hand. Shang Shuze looked at the time and asked again: "Are you interested?"
"Okay." Yuan Qian tightened her clothes and nodded.
I played cards in the master bedroom. If my sensory system was correct, it should be much warmer than the guest room. Yuan Qian came to the conclusion in her heart.
"Two of spades, it's your turn..." With a little pride on his face, Shang Shuze looked at the girl opposite with a smile.
Yuan Qian shook her head as expected, she lost.
After several games, Yuan Qian was losing ground. It seemed that her character tonight was not very good.
Shang Shuze ran downstairs and poured two glasses of water. Taking a break, he handed the water glass to Yuan Qian, with a sense of reminiscence in his eyes, "When I was a child, I played cards with my elder brother and younger sister. I always
I was the one who won the most, but when I won too much, I couldn’t be happy. Some things are too easy to get, so I don’t know how to cherish them. Later, when I played cards with Mom and Dad, they always teamed up to attack me, until now.
, I have won less than five times with their cooperation, but I am very happy. When we were young, the three of us children would not obey anyone. In fact, if the eldest brother is willing to join forces with my sister, he will not win as much as me.
We won, but we were still young at that time and we didn’t understand so much. Some truths can only be understood after experiencing them.”
Yuan Qian looked away and looked at the floor. She didn't say anything and didn't know what she was thinking. Shang Shuze was not disappointed when he saw this. He didn't expect her to listen to what he said. Mr. History
There is a strange similarity, so now, she pushed him away so lightly, not knowing how to cherish it. Qianqian, will you lose it once, and it will be difficult to get it once, you will understand that some people have to pay
Emotions to save you?
In fact, even Shang Shuze was not sure whether his approach was of any use. But the situation had evolved to this point, so let it continue like this. He would not give up, hoping that she would not kill the remaining vitality between them.
.
It was nearly one o'clock in the morning when she returned to the guest room that day. Yuan Qian could no longer raise her eyelids, and suddenly she felt like she was trapped in a warm embrace.
Shang Shuze put Yuan Qian on the bed and covered her with a quilt. This girl had a bad habit of kicking the quilt, so Shang Shuze stood aside and observed for a while. Seeing that there was nothing strange about her, he then
He breathed a sigh of relief and left.
In the blink of an eye, it was exam week, Yuan Qian was busy reviewing, and Shang Shuze returned to his residence less and less. At noon that day, he hurried home for a meal, and Shang Shuze also told Yuan Qian:
: "Yuan Qian, you don't need to make lunch for me in the future. I will tell you in advance when I come back for dinner. If I don't come back in the evening, you don't have to prepare breakfast for the next day. I will lend you this mobile phone. Only me is stored in it.
The number, when you stop doing this work, give it back to me."
Before Yuan Qian refused or said anything else, Shang Shuze grabbed his clothes and left. The black Land Rover galloped away from the small villa. Yuan Qian stared at the car whizzing away, and finally turned around and sat back.
on the sofa.
The day after the exam was in mid-January. Yuan Qian packed up his stationery, then slowly walked out of the classroom and arrived at the elevator.
This is the ninth floor. As soon as we entered the elevator, we met Xia Yiyang who was about to go down. "Qianqian, have you finished the exam?"
"Hmm." Standing in the corner of the elevator, she suddenly felt that the elevator was too small. It could only accommodate two people, but it still made Yuan Qian feel very uncomfortable.
"Qian Qian, we are leaving for the northwest in three days. Have you made a decision?" Looking at Yuan Qian inquiringly, Xia Yiyang looked businesslike.
Yuan Qian nodded without hesitation, and she agreed, "I understand, Senior Xia, I will make preparations in advance."
"Then I'll pick you up in three days, Qianqian. Can you wait at school then?" When he heard Yuan Qian's answer, Xia Yiyang's expression softened a bit.
"Thank you, senior." Saying they are friends, such an attitude seems to be insufficiently intimate and too polite. However, Yuan Qian can only get along with Xia Yiyang in this way, and she is unwilling to accept further interactions. She is in love,
It's good enough to stop the etiquette.
Shang Shuze did not return to his residence for two consecutive days, and Yuan Qian did not receive any news about him. It was a lie to say that he was not disappointed, but Yuan Qian only defined this as having less work on his hands.
Many of them feel ashamed of their wages.
After packing her things, she went home to stay with her mother for two days. The night before she left, Yuan Qian sat on the bed in her small room, her thoughts wandering far away.
"Qian Qian, there are still many books at home that you left behind when you were studying. If possible, take them to children in backward areas. It's useless to leave them at home anyway, right?" Yuan Xueqin knocked on Yuan Qian's door.
She was holding a plate of pears in her hand, and her brows were full of charity.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Qian hurriedly stood up and went to her mother, took the fruit plate, and hugged her mother. Yuan Qian affectionately put her forehead to the latter's forehead, "Mom, I understand, Qian Qian is leaving.
You must take good care of yourself. Mom, do you think Qian Qian is so unfilial and wants to run away at this moment?"
As she said this, she felt a little sad. After helping her mother sit down by the bed, Yuan Qian picked up a piece of pear and handed it to Yuan Xueqin's lips, who was already wearing white hair. "Mom, open your mouth."
