"dislike."
Dong Ci responded calmly. She looked at Jing Rong with a slight frown, always feeling that he had uneasy intentions.
"Come on, let's watch something exciting and relax."
Ignoring Dong Ci's struggle, Jing Rong lifted her up and sat on top of him. He put his chin on the top of Dong Ci's hair and opened the laptop on his lap.
He didn't know where he found the resources, but the directory was all in dazzling red, with the four characters "extremely scary" written in big letters on them.
"Are you scared, Xiaoci? If you don't dare to look, you can lean into my arms."
The rain outside was heavy, and lightning occasionally flashed across. Dong Ci looked out the window and sneered. "I'm not afraid."
Jing Rong's hand on the keyboard paused, and then he dimmed the lights in the living room, leaving a small shadow on his face.
This kind of atmosphere is really suitable for watching something exciting.
The first movie was a horror movie from an island country. Dong Ci watched half of it, but he didn't feel the horror at all, just a little nauseous.
"What kind of crap is this? The props are fake and disgusting." Jing Rong frowned and did not turn off the movie. After searching around, he replaced it with another one.
The lights were dim, and there was a faint white light on the screen. Dong Ci's eyes hurt from the light from the computer, and he didn't have the patience to continue reading.
This is a Thai thriller and suspense film. The atmosphere is very gloomy, and occasionally a bloody grimace will pop out. Dong Ci blinked, because she was not involved in the plot, so this did not scare her.
In fact, Dong Ci is not brave, but she has never believed in ghosts and gods, so she is naturally indifferent to such horror movies, and naturally she will not think nonsense after watching it.
Originally, he wanted to see Dong Ci trembling with fear while lying in his arms, but he didn't expect that the girl didn't react at all. Jing Rong noticed that she was staring at the screen without blinking. After looking at her for a moment, he realized that she was in a daze, and he suddenly felt frustrated.
All my good spirits were gone, so I simply closed the notebook.
"Boring."
Jing Rong sighed and poked Dong Ci's face harshly. He buried his face on her shoulder, his long eyelashes trembling, and his dark eyes were slightly drooped, looking a little pitiful.
If he didn't speak and had no expression, Dong Ci would think that he was a very lovable boy, but it was a pity.
Dong Ci pushed him away, but it was a pity that God gave him a face that confuses all living beings, and also gave him the worst character.
Sure enough, no one is perfect.
…
After living here for more than a week, Jing Rong finally agreed to send her home.
It rained all night, but the sky cleared up the next day and the sun was exceptionally bright. When Dong Ci asked to go home, Jing Rong was lying on the rooftop basking in the sun.
After hearing this, he didn't know what he was thinking about. He nodded after a while, and kept smiling with the corners of his mouth raised. Somehow, Dong Ci felt a little weird.
As the car drove forward, she lay by the car window and looked at the scenery outside. She was in a particularly good mood because she was going home soon.
"parking."
The car had just entered the business district when Jing Rong ordered the driver to stop. "Come for a walk with me?"
Dong Ci never understood why he sent a driver to take her home and she wanted to follow him, so she was always wary of him and always felt that he was uneasy and well-intentioned.
She hugged the backpack tightly in her arms, shook her head and said. "No shopping, I want to go home."
"I'll take you home after shopping."
Jing Rong opened the car door and pulled her out. He squinted at the long street and lowered his eyes to ask her. "Where do you want to go?"
"Aren't you going to go out for a walk?" Dong Ci looked at him doubtfully.
Jing Rong pursed her lips and stopped talking, holding her wrist and starting to walk aimlessly.
Dong Ci doesn't like shopping in clothing stores or jewelry stores because she doesn't dare to eat from outside stalls because she has a bad stomach.
He had long legs, and although he looked unhappy when walking, Dong Ci had to take two steps to keep up with him. In addition, Jing Rong held her wrist domineeringly, so Dong Ci stumbled a little while following him.
The two of them were speechless, and Dong Ci didn't know where she had offended him. His expression was extremely cold along the way, and after wandering for a while, he impatiently pulled her back.
Of course she didn't have any objections. In this summer, Dong Ci didn't like being exposed to the sun outside.
While walking through the pedestrian street, Dong Ci bought a cup of milk tea because he was thirsty. Jing Rong didn't speak, and kept leaning aside and waiting silently. But because of his overly good-looking face, he still attracted the attention of many passers-by.
After taking the milk tea, Dong Ci turned around and saw several girls not far away taking secret photos of him. Dong Ci pretended not to see it, but out of the corner of her eye she inadvertently spotted a familiar figure. She turned around and found that the person turned out to be An Chengfeng.
In fact, if she just saw An Chengfeng, she didn't have to keep staring at him, mainly because he kept chasing the little girl in front of him, with a playful smile, which was completely different from the indifference he showed when he was in front of Yan Ningshuang. Two people.
Dong Ci clearly felt that he was different about this girl, and the girl's figure looked familiar. Dong Ci blinked, and when he wanted to take a closer look, his sight was blocked by Jing Rong.
"who is she?"
Jing Rong obviously saw An Chengfeng, but instead of going over to say hello, he put his arm around Dong Ci's shoulders and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Dong Ci was still looking in the direction of An Chengfeng with her head raised, he stretched out his hand to turn her head back and said calmly. "Watch the road."
"Do you know that girl? What is her relationship with An Chengfeng?"
She had just seen An Chengfeng help the girl get her backpack, but the girl took it back ungratefully. This was not the way An Chengfeng usually coaxed girls. In Dong Ci's opinion, his kindness to the girl was more like trying to please her.
Well, please carefully.
Jing Rong didn't explain her doubts. He just glanced that way when he pushed Dong Ci into the car, blocking all her sight, and asked her with a half-smile. "When did you become so interested in him?"
Dong Ci frowned, opened his mouth and was about to say something, when Jing Rong blocked his lips with a finger. He winked at her and said with a smile. "Be good, just pretend you didn't see anything."
He thought for a moment and added another sentence. "You are not allowed to tell Yan Ningshuang either."
“…”
Dong Ci did not go home directly, but went to the restaurant opened by Ci's mother first.
It was scorching hot outside, but I didn't expect that when I opened the door of the store, I was greeted by a cool breeze. Dong Ci was stunned and then realized that there were many customers in the store.
"Mom, have you installed air conditioning?"
Ci's mother was busy in the kitchen. When she saw Dong Ci coming back, she immediately smiled on her face. She came over and touched Dong Ci's hair, asking as if to take credit. "Have you noticed that the store looks better?"
"It does look better than before."
Dong Ci looked around the store and found that there were many more decorations in the originally simple restaurant, but what surprised her most was that Ci Ma had installed air conditioning in the store.
What happened in the restaurant over the past week? When did the loving mother who was originally cautious about this store become so willing to spend money
Dong Ci had a lot of things to ask, but before she could ask them, Ci's mother pulled her over to help. She heard that there were already guests outside urging her, so she quickly washed her hands and helped her loving mother cook.
Although it was to help, Dong Ci didn't inherit her loving mother's talent for cooking at all. She could only help her and pass something to her, and the other loving mothers wouldn't let her touch it.
The business in the store was busy until ten o'clock in the evening.
After Dong Ci and Ci Ma cleaned up and down the restaurant, they could finally rest.
"Since the air conditioning was installed, the business in the store has improved a lot. I tried to make a few new dishes and attracted a lot of children about your age. They praised me for how delicious and beautiful the dishes were. , and also said that he wanted to take photos and promote it in some circles."
The business in the store has improved, and the smile on Ci Ma's face has increased. She smiled and took Dong Ci's hand and patted it, and the light in her eyes was brighter than before.
"Xiao Ci, you don't have to worry about anything now. You just want to study hard. Mom can definitely support you through college."
"When you get admitted to F University, you must study hard. Your father's dream is all counting on you to come true."
Before going to bed, the loving mother talked a lot to Dong Ci, all of which were about her plans for the future. She seemed to be more interested in this restaurant, and what she talked about the most was thinking about how to open a restaurant.
Dong Ci listened silently, feeling happy for his loving mother from the bottom of his heart. She felt that the decision she made was right. At least her mother's wish came true, and she was naturally happy.
At this time, Dong Ci didn't notice anything was wrong with Ci Ma.
…
I don't know if she has been weak recently, but her hair always falls out in handfuls when she combs her hair. Dong Ci looked upset, so she thought about cutting her hair short.
Zhang Yiyi happened to call her and wanted to ask her to come out to play, so the two made an appointment to go out together.
When they were not divided into classes, the two of them sat at the same table for half a year. Zhang Yiyi was Dong Ci's best friend in that class. But because she always stays at home and studies, speaking of it, this is the first time that the two of them go out to play hand in hand.
"Do you really want to cut it off?"
Zhang Yiyi looked at her long hair that reached her waist and said with some regret. "Your hair is so beautiful, it would be a shame to cut it off."
Dong Ci lowered her eyes and glanced at the long hair hanging on her chest. She stretched out her hand, grabbed a handful of hair and smoothed it away. When she spread her hand, a lot of hair had fallen off her palm.
"Wouldn't you be upset if your hair fell out like this?"
"I might go to the hospital to check if I'm sick." Zhang Yiyi stuck out her tongue, stepped forward to pick up Dong Ci, and said with a smile. "You can cut it off if you want. You are so good-looking, even if you have short hair, you will look good."
"How do I look good?"
Dong Ci was amused by her words. She knew very well what she looked like. She couldn't say that she was good-looking, but she had good features. Especially when she stood with Yan Ningshuang, her face became even more ordinary.
"If you are not good-looking, how can Jing Rong fall in love with you?" Zhang Yiyi said this casually, and she did not feel that she had said anything wrong.
She tilted her head and looked Dong Ci up and down. She was fair-skinned, beautiful, slender and delicate. Although she didn't have a particularly good-looking face, she was better in temperament. Zhang Yiyi sighed in her heart, she didn't expect Jing Rong to like this type.
"Do you think Jingrong likes me because she thinks I'm pretty?"
As soon as he heard Jing Rong's name, the smile on Dong Ci's face softened a lot. She sneered and asked somewhat mockingly. "How did you know he liked me?"
Sensing that something was wrong with Dong Ci's expression, Zhang Yiyi was stunned for a moment. She thought about what she had just said and quickly made amends. "Bah, I made a mistake just now. Jingrong doesn't like you just because you are good-looking."
"He is the one who likes you." Zhang Yiyi bumped her shoulder and asked her teasingly. "am I right?"
"wrong."
Dong Ci corrected, "He doesn't like me at all."
"How is that possible? Many classmates in school say they often see the two of you together. They are all saying that you are boyfriend and girlfriend. They also say that Jing Rong used to skip class every day, but now he goes to school on time because of you."
Zhang Yiyi paused, glanced at Dong Ci's expression, and asked tentatively. "Is not it?"
Yeah
Dong Ci was silent. In fact, to be honest, even she herself couldn't tell what the relationship between her and Jing Rong was.
