After get off work, Chu Li wandered outside for a while before returning home.
In fact, I didn’t do much else, that is, I deliberately took the subway for two more stations;
After getting out of the subway, I went to the supermarket, carried a bag of rice, carefully picked out some snacks, yogurt and vegetables;
When I came back, I was carrying too many and heavy things. I took three steps and rested for half a minute. I was slower than a snail before moving home...
When I got home, there was no one and no dog to greet me. Chu Li took off his shoes, stood in the porch and looked inside. The already hungry man and dog were hanging on the sofa like corpses—only the two dogs were left. The strength to raise his head and look at her; the man stepped on the dog's stomach with a big foot, and was playing a mobile game. Hearing the movement, he raised his head and glanced at the little girl standing in the entrance...
The two looked at each other for three seconds.
The corners of Chu Li's lips twitched, and he quickly lowered his head.
The man far away on the sofa did not capture this detail, and his attention quickly returned to the mobile game he was playing, and at the same time said in a calm voice: "In ancient times, a man's stomach was forcibly adjusted to A healthy stomach with three meals in the morning, noon, and one meal, and if you don’t feed them on time and at the same time, you will be soaked in a pig cage.”
Such serious nonsense.
Chu Li didn't speak, threw away the rice bag and the supermarket and brought back the odds and ends, threw away the shoes, put down the bag, tiptoed to take off the slippers from the top of the shoe cabinet, and was bending over to put on the slippers when he heard the man on the sofa turn over , casually asked: "Come back so late, working overtime?"
The movement of Chuli bent over to put on his shoes paused—
The war has begun again. "...Yes, I'm working overtime again today." Putting on his slippers, Chu Li pretended to be nonchalant and walked into the house, "Are you hungry? I'm so hungry that I don't know how to order takeaway to fill my stomach first—December Book Fair is coming soon. Both "Luohe Divine Book" and "Hearing" are in the process of being launched for publicity and planning, and the cover technology is also being confirmed... Hey, I told you that you didn't understand."
"Then what else do you say?"
"Just to tell you, I've been working a lot of overtime recently, so don't just wait for me to come back and cook for you—"
"I'll give you a place to live. Will Yu Yao give you overtime pay?" The man lying on the sofa made another "creak" and continued playing the game, "You don't know which is more important, you careless one." .”
"Yes, yes, I just don't know what's good and what's wrong, and I'm short-sighted!" Chu Li dragged a bag of rice and walked towards the kitchen, at the same time raised his head and glanced at Zhou Chuan, at the man's face hidden behind the phone , "After all, you reminded me that Yuanyue Society is a place that is about to pass away, and I didn't listen to you..."
"When did you hear me?"
The man who was buried in the game replied casually—then suddenly he pressed his fingers on the screen of the phone, and the alarm bell went off in his brain, brainstorming, stormy sea! ! ! ! ! !
After the whole living room fell into a dead silence for a second, the man moved his fingers hanging on the phone screen, turned over, and continued in a seamless and natural tone for a second: "Besides, why is the Yuanyue Society going to pass away? Who do you listen to?" By the way, my book hasn’t been published yet, what does it mean that Yuanyue Society has closed down, don’t talk nonsense.”
Chu Li: "..." Chu Li first fed Er Gouzi canned food to pad his stomach, then turned around and went to the kitchen to make food for human beings—because she had been on the road for a long time, let alone Zhou Chuan, she was also hungry, so she simply fried a vegetable, Then there is green pepper and tomato fried meat, and finally make a tomato egg drop soup and serve it on the table.
Gobble up a meal.
The man sitting on the other side of the table holding a bowl looked at her as if she was reincarnated from starvation: "I'm so hungry, I don't know how to go home early. Is there anything I can't finish that I can't take home and do after dinner..."
"The progress of "Hearing" is also rushing. I am dizzy when I am working on two books together. It is not that you do not know that the stuff written by that guy is full of anger. I have nothing to do so I have to grab the manuscript and proofread it myself. I’m afraid I’ll miss something—now all the information is in the company’s computer, in case you and A Gui’s things are reversed, you will be deducted wages again…”
The man paused when he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the meat, feeling vaguely that something was wrong... The brown pupils sank, and the corners of his lips curled up: "One bite at a time, who is calling so intimately?"
"Huh," Chu Li's eyes widened, "Ghost, don't you know him?"
The meat slices were picked up firmly and dropped into the bowl. The man smiled and said sincerely, "I don't know."
"The ghost behind you."
"Who is it?"
"Ghost baby."
"Oh, she." The man at the dinner table was unsteady, completely commenting on a stranger's tone, "I saw it when the official Weibo forwarded it. What kind of subject is it? Is it popular? Excuse me, the first gold medal in "Moonlight" The editor personally brought it, male or female?"
"... It's about Tanmei, it's very popular, it's my friend, so I bring it myself, girl."
"I have a chance to introduce you to each other." The man glanced at her and said calmly, "We're going together."
Chuli: "..." After eating, Hikawa washed the pot and Chuli washed the dishes.
Hiukawa raised the pot and threw it into the sink with a bang: "To discuss something, how about who cooks and who washes the dishes in the future?"
Chu Li glanced at the long-armed, long-legged, weak-armed man beside him who was trembling when he lifted a pot with blue veins on the back of his hands: "Why don't you say who cooks and who eats?"
"You do eat, there's nothing wrong with it." Hiukawa turned on the faucet and murmured, "I'm worth tens of millions, and most editors have to kneel and talk to me, so you're here to eat and live with me." And let me wash the pot—hey, look, is there enough dishwashing liquid?"
Chu Li stretched his head and glanced at the man holding a big puddle of dishwashing liquid in the palm of his hand, his eyes twitched, and stretched out his hand to scrape away half of the man's palm: "Where do you want so much, it's enough to wash all the pots and bowls in your cupboard?" The ladles have been washed..."
The man lowered his head, looking at the half of the dish soap left after the palm was divided, and the viscous transparent liquid dripped down the side of his hand—
In the palm of the hand, the numbness from the rubbing of the two hands just now still remained there.
Her gaze could not help but fall on the hand of the person beside her. She was holding a steel wool ball, her fingertips were round, her nails were neatly trimmed and covered with transparent armor polish, and under each nail was a cute little finger symbolizing health. Crescent moon... At this moment, the steel wire of the steel wool ball slightly sank into her skin because of her vigorous brushing.
Hiukawa: "..."
Can this fall into it?
How tender must this hand be?
Before the man could react, he had already reached out and snatched the steel ball from the little girl's hand—Chu Li looked up at him in bewilderment, and the next second the man threw the sponge in his hand to her: "Use this, the steel wire The ball is used to wash the pot, do you know how to wash the dishes?"
"... As long as you have a lot of things to do, why not wash?"
Chu Li picked up the sponge with a black face and said hello, and wiped the bowl... At the same time, the man who was taller than her by a head and looked like a hill also picked up the steel ball and silently cleaned the pot.
"By the way, teacher, I suddenly remembered something," Chu Li said, "Have you not thanked you about Jiang Yucheng?"
"how?"
The man's sixth sense told Hiukawa that someone wanted to mess up again, he didn't show his emotions, and continued to clean up the pot, but his ears were pricked up like two dogs——
"If you hadn't reminded me about the frontispiece project and signed his book to tide over the difficulties, I might still be the biggest joke of Yuanyue Club at this moment."
Chuli stood on tiptoe, wanting to put the dry bowl in his hand into the disinfection cabinet - after two times he couldn't reach it, a big hand behind him naturally took the bowl, and put it in the disinfection cabinet...
"I didn't warn you, did I?" The man's steady voice sounded close behind her ear, "I'm sick, I finally got a holiday on the big weekend to escape the life-threatening screams of you editors, and go to the next door to be honest Soak in a hot spring to relax, what reason do you have to encourage you to ride a high-speed train all the way to get in front of your eyes?"
"..."
Chu Li turned around and looked at Hiukawa, who looked back at her calmly.
That handsome and calm face, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it says: You are so tender, fight with me?
First ceremony: "..."
Chu Li: "Teacher, do you know 'Mr. L who disappeared'?"
Hiukawa raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?"
Chu Li: "It's the one who once wrote a supporting essay for Empress Yu, and that one is about as good as your writing style."
Hiukawa lowered his eyebrows: "He."
After washing the pot, Hiukawa stuffed it into the cupboard, wiped his hands, turned around and walked out, grabbed Er Gouzi's leash hanging by the kitchen door, and prepared to walk the dog... Chu Li simply threw away the half-washed bowl, and took one step at a time. Follow him anywhere, staring at the man: "This time he wrote a follow-up to Suo Heng, I posted it on the official Weibo, a reader asked me in a private message, is it you who wrote the follow-up to Suo Heng, and that reader is you An old fan for many years, she said that she will definitely not admit it... "
"Old fans of many years will think that I am full and support the 18th-tier author who has written a follow-up without a dime for the manuscript fee?" Zhou Chuan put Er Gouzi on the leash and straightened up, "Where did it come from?" Black fans, expel the fan membership."
"... ... ... Why do you have an album of paintings by Empress Yu?"
"Niece's."
Hiukawa leads Er Gouzi out of the house.
Chu Li hastily kicked off his slippers and changed into flip-flops to follow—
"... Your pajamas are the same as the one I gave Mr. L!"
"Given by my niece. What's wrong with this pajamas? The monthly sales volume on Taobao is more than 7,000, and the same style is tens of millions—also, why do you give pajamas to others? According to you, Mr. L is a man. There is an article in the animal kingdom It is an unwritten rule that sending pajamas is a request for mating, do you know that?"
"..."
"I'm talking about Banana Man, have you worked too much overtime tonight, are you tired and stupid and turned into melon skin, why are you so crazy and have so many incoherent words..."
Walking to the gate of the courtyard, the man turned around and looked at the little girl who was following closely behind him, with a helpless look on his face, and a look of innocence and confusion: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
From this appearance, at first glance, it seems that he is really innocent.
Seeing that Chu Li also became confused, she hesitated for a moment, and finally asked what she had been holding back for a whole day and a whole night: "Teacher, is Mr. L really you?"
After such a question was asked, there was another familiar silence—Chu Li raised his head and stared at Hiukawa nervously, not even daring to blink his eyes, as if he was afraid of missing every minute and every second of the emotional changes in his eyes …
She looked into those brown pupils, and the evening wind was blowing, bringing with it the smell of fallen leaves mixed with soil... In her ear, the sound of the two dogs breathing became the only sound at this moment.
She saw Hiukawa's eyes flickering, and the corners of his eyes were soft.
He raised his hand, patted her head, and messed up her hair—
"That's it, what should I do?" The man's voice sounded so calm, "I don't know the person you mentioned, you are mistaken."
The man stuffed the leash in his hand into the hand of the dull-faced little girl in front of him, as if he didn't see her face, which was a little disappointed, a little disappointed, a little rejoicing, a little resigned, in short, all kinds of complicated faces...
The man took two steps outside.
Randomly heard the sound of flip-flops trotting behind him, the person who was behind him trotted and led the dog to catch up, walked to him and walked side by side with him...
She lowered her head, under the street lamp, when he lowered his head to look at her, he could see that the tips of her ears were slightly reddening cutely;
The fingertips holding the dog leash were buckling the dog leash intentionally or unintentionally, and the fingertips turned slightly white due to the force, and when they were released, blood rushed up again and quickly turned red...
Hiukawa cleared his voice, and forced his eyes away... Chu Li looked up blankly at the man beside him who suddenly cleared his throat, and stared at him silently, as if asking: What's wrong?
Hiukawa found that he liked her quite a bit, so he followed her dazed look, which was dumb and stupid, completely different from the sharp-mouthed fighter jets of Lao Miao and Niang Yuniang.
—It seems like a soldier who has taken off his military uniform, furry and cute.
"...Why," the corners of his eyes were gentle, with a smile on his lips, the man looked into those black eyes reflecting the moonlight, and asked, "Mr. L, is that important person to you? he is me?"
"No." Chu Li lowered his head again, stared at his toes and said in a mosquito-snorting voice, "It's not good, if it's true, I don't know what to do..."
The last sound was almost blown away in the night wind.
The man laughed, and the laughter seemed to come from the vibrating chest, deep and magnetic: "What's the matter? I don't know what to do. Who is he, he can treat you better than me—a popular spicy chicken author!" Editing is more important? Why are you so entangled?"
"..."
"Forget about him, and don't worry about it."
"..."
"Did you hear that?"
"… Oh."
"Raise your head, let's walk the dog, concentrate... The dog told you to take it to the pit, and it's okay if you fall. If the dog falls, you have to take a bath-two dogs are worth 120 yuan a time, and they are worth as much as your family. I can't afford to spend so much money!"
"..."
"I really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are!"
“……………”
