After Mi Qing finished eating a large bowl of birthday noodles, she even drank the soup.
Xiao Gu looked a little funny on the opposite side: "Is the noodles I made so delicious?"
Mi Qing took out a tissue, looked at him while wiping the corners of her mouth, and said, "I'm just too hungry." She threw the tissue into the trash can, stood up from her chair, "I've worked for you until now, this bowl I'll leave it to you to wash."
After she finished speaking, she walked to her bedroom. Xiao Gu looked at her back and thought to himself that it wasn't that he didn't pay her salary. He lowered his head and chuckled, still took Mi Qing's bowl, got up and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
After Mi Qing ate a bowl of noodles, she was stronger than before. She quickly took a shower, and got under the covers in her rabbit ear pajamas.
After applying three coats of sakura-flavored hand cream, she took out her cell phone from under the pillow.
The time is now eleven fifty-eight, two minutes before her 22nd birthday.
She habitually logged on to Weibo and found that she had a new unread private message sent by... Mr. Rabbit!
Mi Qing sat up excitedly, and the hat on the back was also buckled on her head because of her movement. She brushed her hair blocking her view, and opened the private message.
Mr. Rabbit: Happy Birthday^_^[cake]
Mr. Rabbit: Long time no see, you are already 22 years old [laughing] Oh yes, I have returned to China, but I heard that you are not feeling well, and you didn’t show up for your birthday, is it serious? I can't get through to your domestic number, so I have to send you a private message. Well, these are birthday presents, next time we meet ^_^[picture][picture]
The picture he sent shows a big plush rabbit doll and a set of pink rabbit tableware, which is very delicate and cute.
Mi Qing was a little stunned. Although she and Zhou Yiran had known each other for many years, their friendship was not that deep. It was just because they belonged to the same circle, so they would often meet each other at dinner parties and dances.
But after entering university, both of them went abroad, and the only connection was broken.
Although Mi Qing has been secretly following everything about him through Weibo, this is only one-sided, and she rarely even comments on him. She didn't expect that he would remember her birthday.
Mi Qing's nose was a little sore, she was going to send a thank you, but after thinking about it, she held back.
After sending thank you, maybe they will start chatting, and once they chat, it is inevitable that they will talk about each other's recent situation, and she really doesn't want him to know about her down-and-out recent situation.
The phone receives a new message, this time from Alice.
"Happy birthday dear, the gift has been prepared for you, and I will give it to you in person when you come back."
Mi Qing pursed her lips. In order to treat everyone equally, she did not reply to this message.
The time had jumped to 00:00, she quit Weibo and lay down on the bed again.
Thinking of having a rare rest day tomorrow, Mi Qing slept very soundly that night.
Because she deliberately turned off the alarm clock before going to bed, Mi Qing didn't wake up until half past eleven—it was also because of the tempting aroma from the kitchen.
She rubbed her hair and sat up. After washing, she walked towards the kitchen in her slippers.
Xiao Guzheng was holding a bamboo stick in the pot of beef, when he heard footsteps, he looked up. Mi Qing stretched her neck to look into his pot, Xiao Gu curled the corner of his mouth, looked away and said, "I thought you died sleeping inside the room."
Mi Qing curled her lips and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Gu said: "Red wine stewed beef."
"Red wine stewed beef?" Mi Qing's eyes lit up, "Do you want to be a listener?"
"Wow!" Husky also wagged his tail and came closer, indicating that he heard it too.
"Tian Tian, get out, don't make trouble in the kitchen." Xiao Gu kicked the husky away, and then said to Mi Qing, "As for you, if you want a share, come and help."
Mi Qing blinked her eyes: "But I can't."
Xiao Gu glanced at her: "You are such an adult, it's time to learn how to cook."
Mi Qing: "..."
Why are you like her mother...
She rolled up the sleeves of her pajamas and asked, "Then what do you want me to do? It's too difficult and I can't do it."
Xiao Gu took a look at the stove next to him: "I've cut up all the ingredients, you cut a cross on the root of the spinach, soak it in clean water and wash it."
"Oh." Mi Qing started to draw a cross on the root of the spinach as he said, "What is this for?"
Xiao Gu said, "Crepes."
The movement of Mi Qing's hands stopped, crepes and red wine stewed beef... She blinked: "Is it because I didn't eat last night, so you made it for me again today?"
Xiao Gu glanced at her sideways: "Are you so confident because you think you are so cute?"
Mi Qing: "..."
She is just so cute.
She rolled her eyes and continued to abuse Spinach beside her. Xiao Gu said, "It's okay to slow down. If you cut your fingers with your clumsy hands, it's not considered a work-related injury."
Mi Qing: "..."
She took a deep breath, and the smell of beef stew in red wine calmed her down.
All of Mi Qing’s contribution to this meal was on the spinach. She sat in the dining room excitedly waiting for the meal, but when Xiao Gu brought the dish, she frowned in disappointment: "I see you also stewed a pot of beef." Ah, why is there only so much left after putting it on the plate?"
This is my own home, so you don't need to be stingy like in a western restaurant...
Xiao Gu said: "I only bought 500 grams of beef, which is originally for two people."
Mi Qing rolled her eyes and smiled a little: "Oh, it's for two people."
…
Xiao Gu calmly pulled Huskies over: "Tiantian and I."
Mi Qing bit the fork in her hand, suppressed a smile and said nothing.
Xiao Gu frowned slightly, and sat down opposite her.
Mi Qing picked up a piece of beef and fed it into her mouth. She almost cried out after just one mouthful. The beef is very tender, and the aftertaste of the red wine is even more intoxicating. She closed her eyes contentedly, and sighed: "It's so delicious, I've also eaten at a three-star restaurant in France, and your cooking is even better than their chef's!"
Xiao Gu just quietly ate what was on his plate, without answering.
Mi Qing raised her eyes and glanced at him: "What's wrong with you? Are you angry?"
A big man can't be so stingy.
Xiao Gu Bo calmly said: "It's just that I've been praised too much, and I'm numb."
Mi Qing: "..."
I really want to swallow the words I praised him just now, word by word.
She grimaced in her heart and concentrated on eating her lunch.
The huskies quarreled around Xiao Gu for a long time, and finally got a small piece of beef.
At noon, Mi Qing didn't offer much help, so Xiao Gu decided to leave the job of washing the dishes to her. Mi Qing was very unhappy in her heart, but in order to have the next chance to have a meal, she thought it would be better to endure the humiliation.
It took her more than half an hour to wash all the dishes, rubbed three layers of cherry blossom-flavored hand cream on her hands, and went back to her room to continue sleeping.
Even though she was full, she still slept soundly. She didn't wake up until after four o'clock. At this moment, Xiao Gu was about to go out for a walk with the dog, and when he saw her coming out to fetch water with a water cup, he couldn't help but said, "Are you reincarnated from a pig? You've been asleep all day."
Mi Qing gave him a chuckle: "You are such a hands-off shopkeeper, of course you don't understand the suffering of our waiters."
Xiao Gu snorted, took the husky for a few steps, then turned around and asked Mi Qing, "Do you want to go for a walk with the dog?"
Mi Qing swallowed the water in her mouth, raised her eyebrows slightly: "Walk the dog."
"Well, let's get acquainted with the surroundings by the way."
Mi Qing thought about it, and ran into the bedroom: "Okay, then wait for me, I'll change clothes!"
Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Gu looked at Mi Qing who was still brushing her eyelashes, and frowned: "You paint slowly, I'll go first."
"Okay, okay, I'm done!" Mi Qing put down the mascara, picked up a comb and combed her curly hair twice, and ran out quickly, "You're too impatient, I'm waiting for my girlfriend to put on makeup, etc. Half an hour is fine too."
Xiao Gu smiled at her: "The problem is that you are not my girlfriend."
Mi Qing turned her head and snorted at him, as if someone cares about him being a boyfriend.
After the two went out, Xiao Gu looked down at the clothes Mi Qing was wearing. She changed into a dress. The upper body was a milky white sweater, and the lower body was a red woolen material with a large A-line skirt. The skirt was still two-layered. The inner part was longer than the outer layer, and it was a lotus leaf made of white gauze. side.
Xiao Gu sneered: "It's just going out for a walk with the dog, what are you doing dressing up like a little princess?" Especially the small fur waistcoat is really conspicuous.
Mi Qing said: "I usually wear work clothes to work, and I don't have a chance to wear these clothes. Today I finally went out, so of course I have to wear them."
Xiao Gu was speechless: "I'm going out to walk the dog, not you."
Mi Qing: "..."
While the two were talking, Grandpa Qiu on the fifth floor opened the door again and came out. Seeing Xiao Gu and Mi Qing going downstairs together, she smiled kindly at them like last time and said, "The young couple went out for a walk with the dog again."
Mi Qing: "..."
Xiao Gu said calmly: "Yes."
Mi Qing: "..."
She turned her head and questioned him with her eyes.
Xiao Gu said: "It's useless to explain to Grandpa Qiu, anyway, he will forget next time."
... Then it can't just be the default!
