In the evening, after Xia Tong put Guaiguai to sleep, he went to the living room, laid out the drawing paper on the dining table, put on the black frame, and continued to work on the drawing.
There is less than a week left before the final selection, but now he is still at a loss. Facing the empty drawings in front of him, Xia Tong is a little irritable.
I stood up and was about to make a cup of coffee when my phone on the table suddenly buzzed. It was an unfamiliar number.
Xia Tong hesitated and pressed the answer button. Before she could speak, a careless voice came from the phone: "Hi... Beauty Xia Tong, guess who I am?"
Xia Tong rolled his eyes: "Mr. Gu Haoran, do you know you are bored?"
He was not angry, but still smiled and asked: "Guess where I am now?"
"If you continue to play the I-guess-I-guess-I-guess game with me, I will hang up."
"Hey...don't worry, don't worry..." He said pitifully: "Since you don't want to guess, Miss Xia, how about I guess you?"
"……."
"I guess you must be wearing a beige knee-length cotton pajamas now, sitting at the table in distress, staring at a piece of paper in a daze, right?"
Xia Tong stood up alertly, "Where are you?"
"What do you think?" He smiled playfully.
Xia Tong opened the balcony door with a bang and looked outside. Under the yellowish street light, a black shadow was stretched diagonally on the bluestone pavement. The owner of the shadow was leaning against a camphor tree.
, the distance is too far to see his appearance clearly. But from his tall and smooth figure, we can read the sense of luxury.
He waved to her, with an uninhibited smile on the slightly raised corners of his lips: "Hi... Miss Xia Tong..."
**** *****
Ten minutes later, Xia Tong took Gu Haoran back home with a dark face. As soon as he entered the house, he put down the suitcase in his hand and lazily lay down on the sofa, sighing: "I've been sitting there for a few hours.
The plane took me so long that I was exhausted."
Xia Tong glanced at the clock above his head and was speechless: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Besides, if I remember correctly, aren't you on the plane tomorrow, Mr. Gu?"
He glanced at her sideways, a little aggrieved: "Didn't I come back just for you, Miss Xia Tong?"
Xia Tong twitched his eyes: "For me?!"
"No!" He said: "When I saw today's news about NES in City C in the afternoon, I heard that Miss Xia had been wronged, so I ran back in a hurry." He looked at her: "Xia Tong, are you?
Aren’t you so moved that you’re going to cry?”
"..." Xia Tong saw him rubbing his dusty shoes on his sofa, which were obviously stained with mud, and couldn't help but said coolly: "Yes, I am really going to cry."
Then he said in disgust: "Give me a pair of shoes! I just mopped the floor!"
"No!" Gu Haoran hugged the pillow and refused to let go: "I'm so hungry, dear Tong, please make me something to eat!"
Xia Tong felt cold: "Gu Haoran, can you be more disgusting?"
He came over with a smile: "Then Tong Tianxin'er? Tong Xingru'er? Tong Qingqin'er? Tong——."
"Stop!" Xia Tong interrupted him with a breakdown, turned around and put on her apron: "What do you want to eat?"
"whatever……."
Just as Xia Tong was about to nod, he added slowly: "Don't eat anything that's too greasy, don't eat anything that's too oily, don't eat anything that's too heavy, don't eat anything that's too bland, don't eat anything that's not fresh, don't eat fatty meat..."
….”
Xia Tong turned around and showed his strong white teeth.
Gu Haoran was frightened, and the sentence suddenly popped up in his mind: Good teeth, good appetite, good food...
**** ****
After a while, Xia Tong brought out a bowl of fragrant green onion plain noodles from the kitchen and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
Xia Tong took off her apron: "Everything at home has been eaten. I just looked through it and found only a few noodles. Let's make do with it."
Gu Haoran was moved by the smell, rubbed his hands and praised: "Not bad, not bad..." He took a bite and felt that the noodle soup was so delicious that it even warmed his stomach.
At this moment, the door to the room suddenly opened. Xia Guaiguai walked out sleepily. Looking at Xia Tong, she curled her lips and almost cried: "Mommy, I'm hungry!"
Suddenly her eyes rolled and she saw the noodles in Gu Haoran's hand. She immediately ran over eagerly. She stuck out her tongue and said with salivation: "Sichuan millet, I want to eat——"
Gu Haoran hurriedly hugged the noodles and raised his eyebrows triumphantly: "These are the love noodles your mommy gave me. They are full of my love for the squid, and there is no share for you!"
Xia Guaiguai was angry: "You lied to me! Mommy loves Guaiguai the most, not you!"
"Oh? Since you said your mommy loves you the most, why doesn't she cook love noodles for you?"
"Mommy!" Xia Guaiguai turned his gaze to Xia Tong and said pitifully: "You love me the most, right?"
Xia Tong rubbed his forehead in confusion and couldn't help but patted Gu Haoran on the shoulder: "Just give her half."
"Never!"
The big one and the small one answered in unison, then turned their faces to the left and right, and snorted disdainfully.
Xia Tong: "……."
"Mommy, I want love noodles——." Xia obediently held the hem of her skirt and shook it.
Xia Tong had no choice but to cook another bowl and put it into Guaiguai's special Mickey bowl. Unexpectedly, as soon as it was served, Gu Haoran came over and said, "It's such a small bowl." Then he looked at it again.
Looking at the big shot in Haikou, he said disdainfully: "Little girl, your mommy obviously loves me more than she loves you..."
Xia Guaiguai was so excited that she banged the table with a small spoon loudly: "Mommy, I want a big one, this is too little!"
Xia Tong frowned: "Don't make trouble, I don't know your appetite. It would be great if you can finish this bowl!"
"I don't care!"
Xia Tong ignored her, sat down at the dining table, and continued to read the drawings: "Let's talk after eating!"
Woo... Xia Guaiguai held up her little face in depression...
Gu Haoran took a big mouthful of noodles into his stomach, squinted his eyes and looked like he was enjoying it: "Ah... your love noodles are so delicious. The more you eat, the more a certain mommy loves me...
….”
Xia Tong made a sound, and the pencil lead in her hand became short. She turned around and smiled coolly.
When Xia Guaiguai saw this, how could he be convinced? He rolled up the sleeves of his pink pajamas onto his chubby arms, picked up the chopsticks and ate hungrily. While eating, he smiled vaguely at him:
"The more I eat, the more Mommy loves me!"
"I have more talents!" Gu Haoran took another bite.
Xia Guaiguai swallowed two mouthfuls unconvinced: "Humph! Mommy is mine!"
…
Five minutes later, the two bowls of noodles, one large and one small, were wiped out at a lightning speed. The two people turned back at the same time and shouted to Xia Tong: "Mommy (Tong Bao'er), bring the noodles!"
