Zhong Keke was not familiar with this place, so he found this high-end restaurant after a few detours. He wanted to find a coffee shop and wait, but he didn't expect that there was no such place nearby.
The whole building belongs to this restaurant, and you can't even enter the door without eating.
Zhong Keke deeply sighed at this evil capitalism, so he could only turn around and go to the store on the next street to buy a string of candied haws, and then came back and sat on the bench to eat.
It is early in summer and winter, and the days are short.
Before seven o'clock in the evening, the night had already sunk to the bottom.
Zhong Keke, a native of the South, has never eaten candied haws in such a cold day, or the kind that can't bite no matter how hard she bites, stomping her feet in anger. She doesn't know that someone sitting on the third floor sees her as funny. made it clear.
When she finally bit down half of the strawberry with all her strength, a low and magnetic male voice suddenly sounded behind her, "When did you come?"
Zhong Keke turned around and saw Jiang Yuqiao's tall and tall figure at a glance. She stood up somewhat unexpectedly, "Why did you come down so quickly?"
Jiang Yuqiao's attention fell on the corner of her mouth where the rock candy slag was sticking, and raised his hand to help her rub it, his eyes were tender only for her, "You are here, what else can I eat."
Zhong Keke licked his lower lip with his movements, and the tender pink lips immediately became watery.
Jiang Yuqiao's eyes lingered on it for a second, then he leaned down slightly, without any emotion, and kissed her lips.
Soft against soft.
No matter how many times he felt it, Zhong Keke couldn't help but his heart beat faster.
For some reason, she always felt that Jiang Yuqiao was not very happy tonight. Even though he had suppressed his emotions very lightly, she could still feel the tiredness and depression in his eyebrows.
Zhong Keke was suddenly very fortunate that he was standing in front of him.
She stepped forward and was about to hug him when a man in a suit suddenly ran over.
It's Jiang Yuan's driver.
Carrying two large gift boxes of valuable seafood, he walked to the two of them, no longer calling Jiang Yuqiao the young master as before, but instead called him Doctor Jiang, "Mr. Jiang knows that you don't want to stay for dinner, so let me bring it. These two gift boxes are down, and I will give you some more if they say that they are not enough, so you must take them."
It seems that it is not unexpected that the driver will catch up. Jiang Yuqiao glanced at the things in his hand with a nonchalant expression, and refused mercilessly, "I am allergic to seafood."
driver:"… "
In the man's embarrassed look, Zhong Keke instantly noticed how embarrassing the dinner party just now was.
Jiang Yuqiao was not a talkative man, he took Zhong Keke's hand and didn't want to say a word, he turned around and left.
The driver chased after him reluctantly, "Dr. Jiang, Dr. Jiang, you can take it. Anyway, it's President Jiang's heart."
The five-year-old and three-thick man blocked the way in front of the two of them, and the driver looked very embarrassed, "Even if it is to stay and send someone off, you will let me deal with it. After all, President Jiang has just made a big fuss, look at this. …”
The words behind it died down.
Jiang Yuqiao frowned slightly, and before he could speak, Zhong Keke took over the words, "What right does he have to get angry?"
The driver saw that she was Jiang Yuqiao's girlfriend, opened his mouth, and wanted to explain, who knew that Zhong Keke stood in front of Jiang Yuqiao and made a look of protecting the calf, "He left his own son and ran with other women. You should know this day when you get married."
Probably did not expect this soft-looking little girl to be so articulate, and the driver was stunned.
Zhong Keke didn't mean to stop, "For so many years, he didn't want to take care of it, and he brought his wife and children to the disgusting person in front of Brother Yuqiao. Why, he still expects Brother Yuqiao to treat him as a father and filial piety? How can there be such a thing? Good thing!"
"Hey, no," the driver couldn't argue, "Mr. Jiang just felt that this meal was not good, so he asked me to bring it over—"
"I don't want to send it here," Zhong Keke seemed to be willing to give it up, and he was not happy to say it. "We don't care about the best things. When I meet Brother Qiao with money, I can afford it!"
It's been a long time since I saw her look like a murderer. Jiang Yuqiao's lips curled into an interesting smile. He didn't interrupt or stop her, so he held her hand firmly and stood behind him and listened quietly.
Even the driver looked at him for help, Jiang Yuqiao didn't even see it.
The driver could only sigh and take the things back, "Since Dr. Jiang doesn't want it, then I'll go back and tell President Jiang."
"Wait a minute," Zhong Keke stopped him in a crisp voice, "please tell me another word."
The driver looked at her speechlessly.
For a moment, he even suspected that he was Zhong Keke's driver.
Zhong Keke didn't know where the courage came from. With a thin waist, he looked at him confidently, "You tell you, President Jiang, if you want to ease the relationship between father and son, you should be more serious and attentive, and don't engage in such rudeness. operation."
During the conversation, she choked unconsciously, as if she suddenly felt Jiang Yuqiao's mood when she saw her stepmother, and her words were filled with uncontrollable sourness, "Even if he doesn't feel sorry for Brother Yuqiao, don't put a knife in his heart. ."
"… "
The indulgent smile in his eyes solidified.
Jiang Yuqiao stared deeply at Zhong Keke's rounded back of head, his Adam's apple sliding slowly.
At this moment, Zhong Keke turned around and met his gaze, "Let's go when we meet Brother Qiao."
Jiang Yuqiao nodded with soft eyes, and his voice was magnetic, "Okay."
Because Zhong Keke bought the ingredients, the two did not go to the supermarket on the way back, but took a taxi and went straight home.
Along the way, Jiang Yuqiao didn't say much, and looked wearily holding her hand and closed his eyes, as if restraining his emotions.
Zhong Keke also realized with hindsight that what he said just now was a little heavy, and even began to wonder if it was because of her unauthorised act that Jiang Yuqiao was upset.
After all, Jiang Yuan is also his biological father, and even he is one of the few blood relatives in this world. Her remarks just now seem to be a bit heavy.
Thinking of this, Zhong Keke felt guilty.
It was also silent all the way.
Fortunately, there was no traffic jam on the road, and the two of them arrived home in less than half an hour.
As soon as Zhong Keke entered the door, his stomach grunted, and Jiang Yuqiao looked at her with a smile, "Hungry?"
Zhong Coco nodded.
Jiang Yuqiao helped her take off her coat and hung it on the porch, "Go have some snacks first, I'll make it quickly."
Zhong Keke wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. He took out two generations of potato chips from the refrigerator and ran to the living room to sit obediently.
After a while, there was a sizzling sound of cooking from the kitchen.
Zhong Keke's nose was particularly sharp, and he could smell the sweet and sour pork ribs and shrimp tails with garlic at once. He trotted all the way to the kitchen, and leaned on the glass partition to look at Jiang Yuqiao honestly.
The frying pan has just been raised, and Jiang Yuchen looked attentive. He caught a glimpse of her coming from the corner of his eye, and turned his head to look at her amusingly, "What are you looking at?"
Zhong Keke pursed his lips.
He didn't seem to be angry, so his tone became more natural, "I'm greedy."
"Go wash your hands when you're thirsty," Jiang Yuqiao instructed warmly, "you can eat right away."
Zhong Coco nodded obediently.
Before going to the bathroom, she also specially brought in the air cushion powder and lipstick to touch up her makeup.
After all, it was the first time that the two of them had a serious meal together. She had to make herself look more beautiful, but the girl couldn't help being cumbersome when she packed it up.
When he came out, three dishes and one soup were already placed on the table, and there were two bowls of soft, glutinous and moist white rice, which made Zhong Keke instantly move his index finger.
However, at this time, Jiang Yuqiao was answering the phone on the balcony.
The slender figure leaned lazily beside the railing, with a cigarette in one hand, isolated by the glass door of the balcony, Zhong Keke couldn't hear what he said, and couldn't smell the smoke.
It wasn't until the cigarette burned out that Jiang Yuqiao realized that Zhong Keke had been looking at him for a long time while lying on the glass door.
Jiang Yuqiao's brows twitched, and then he remembered that she had been hungry for a long time.
He casually tucked the cigarette into the ashtray, and said in a low voice, "Thank you Dr. Lin, I'll ask you from my mother's side. I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first."
Knowing that he was busy, he didn't say anything.
At the same time as the phone hung up, Jiang Yuqiao opened the glass door.
Zhong Keke stood up instantly.
Like a child who did something wrong and waited for the parents to go home and settle the account.
Jiang Yuqiao found out that she was like this when he was cooking, but he was busy cooking and didn't have time to ask, so now, the first thing he did when he came out of the balcony was to pull her into his arms.
The sudden action made Zhong Keke stumble and plunge straight into Jiang Yuqiao's arms.
The two pressed against the glass door at a very close distance. Zhong Keke could clearly smell the undissipated tobacco smell on his body. With the blessing of this smell, the original citrus fragrance on his body seemed even more bewitching.
Jiang Yuqiao's voice was low and melodious, "Why don't you go to eat when you're hungry, what are you waiting for?"
Zhong Keke looked up at him slowly, "Who are you calling? Is it your father?"
Jiang Yuqiao thought she was jealous, but she didn't expect her to ask this sentence.
The moment he looked dazed, Zhong Keke lowered his eyes and said dryly, "Brother Yuqiao, are you angry with me?"
Jiang Yuqiao raised his eyebrows, "Why do you ask that?"
"You don't have to lie to me," Zhong Keke blinked, "Just tell the truth."
She scratched her earlobe unnaturally, "I was over there just now. I really didn't speak well, and I was very rude. No matter how you say he's your father, I don't have the right to say that about him—"
Before the words were finished, Jiang Yuqiao pinched her chin and made her look at him, "Who said I was angry because of this."
Afraid of her misunderstanding, Jiang Yuqiao added, "I'm not angry, but I'm a little tired. The call just now was not from my father, but from the rehabilitation center. I will ask about my mother on time every month."
Zhong Keke was slightly surprised, and his thoughts followed him involuntarily, "How is Auntie doing recently?"
"Not bad," Jiang Yuqiao said honestly, "I plan to go back to see her during the Chinese New Year, do you want to accompany me?"
"Okay."
"As a girlfriend."
Hearing this, Zhong Keke's eyes flashed with obvious shyness, and after two seconds, she nodded, "Okay."
Jiang Yuqiao stared at her powdery earlobe and slowly raised his lips.
I wanted to say something, but thinking that she hadn't eaten so late, she took her by the shoulders and shook it gently, "Let's go to dinner first."
…
The meal was even better than expected.
Zhong Keke originally wanted to keep some ladylike images, but he still failed.
When you are full of food and drink, people become lazy.
Jiang Yuqiao saw that she was also tossing for a long time, so he asked her to go to the sofa to watch TV, and he came to wash the dishes.
Zhong Keke had nothing to watch. He fiddled with his mobile phone for a while, took his pajamas to take a shower, and when he came out, Jiang Yuqiao had restored the kitchen to its original state, and sat on the sofa with bent legs to select movies.
When he saw Zhong Keke coming out, he patted the seat next to him, "What do you want to see?"
Zhong Coco came over while wiping his hair.
There was a sweet scent on her body in the air, and wet water droplets followed her and dripped onto Jiang Yuqiao's sleeves.
Looking at the appearance of the little girl Qingshui out of Hibiscus, Jiang Yuqiao was slightly lost until Zhong Ke chose a foreign fantasy movie.
"That's it. I read it recommended by others and said it looks good."
Zhong Keke's small round face was not made of powder, and there was a pure seductiveness between her frowns and smiles.
Jiang Yuqiao stared at her intently, from her snow-white neck all the way to her delicate earlobes, and finally fell on her big flashing eyes.
"Why didn't the hair dry?" he asked.
Zhong Keke reacted, "Ah, then I'll blow it now."
While talking, she got up, but Jiang Yuqiao grabbed her wrist, "Bring the hair dryer here, I'll help you."
Zhong Keke was stunned.
Thinking that Jiang Yuqiao is her boyfriend now, she has nothing to say and nod her head.
When she came back, she naturally sat by Jiang Yuqiao's side. Jiang Yuqiao didn't help others blow their hair, so she was very careful when getting started, and she didn't even dare to drive the strong wind, for fear of hurting her.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhong Keke deliberated his words and said, "When I went to teach Zhouzhou today, I heard Zhouzhou's grandmother say something about you."
Jiang Yuqiao paused slightly, "What did you say?"
"Say… "
Zhong Keke pursed his lips lightly, "Tell me about your brother, that you joined this association because of your brother, and that you have always had a pimple and guilt because of this."
Because she turned her back to him, Keke couldn't see the expression on his face for a quarter of an hour, and it was because she couldn't see it that she dared to say, "Brother Yuqiao, I don't think you need to feel uncomfortable because of this matter. It's so small, it can't stop it at all, and the person who did the bad thing is... it's that person, not you, you don't have to feel guilty about it."
As he spoke, the strength of the blowing became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped.
The living room fell silent in an instant.
It was so quiet that Cocoa Zhong couldn't help but feel tense.
The two things she expressed tonight were all taboos for Jiang Yuqiao. She didn't know how the other party would feel when she heard it, but she couldn't help but say it.
But after that, she was a little scared.
I am afraid that Jiang Yuqiao is really sad because of this.
So at this moment, Zhong Keke didn't have the courage to turn around at all. She bit her lower lip lightly, and just wanted to round up her words, and in the next second, a solid and soft body was attached to her back.
Jiang Yuqiao wrapped his arms around her, rested his chin on her thin shoulder, and hugged her tightly.
This sudden intimacy made Zhong Keke froze.
"Brother Yuqiao..."
Jiang Yuqiao sniffed the sweet scent around her neck, restrained the urge to peel her clean and swallow it, like a big dog, rubbed the warm skin on her neck, "So, you're here tonight. Pick me up?"
For a second, Zhong Ke could dream for himself.
Until Jiang Yuqiao's slender big hand wrapped her small hand, and rubbed it in his hand very intimately.
Zhong Keke's eyes were inexplicably hot, and she answered in a stern voice, "Well, I'm afraid you won't have a good meal this time."
Jiang Yuqiao took a deep breath, as if dissatisfied, and hugged her tighter, "I'm really unhappy."
Zhong Keke glanced slightly.
Jiang Yuqiao closed his eyes halfway, removed all his defenses and indifference, and showed her softest appearance in front of her, "Especially the child named Taotao, I think of Jiang Lai and everything in the past."
A turbulent wave rolled through my heart.
Zhong Keke's throat was so dry that he didn't know what to say to comfort him for a while.
However, Jiang Yuqiao seemed to open his heart and confided unhurriedly, "At that time, I was thinking, why is he not the one who died, and why he is the only one living so happily."
"Coco, you say."
"Should I be struck by lightning?"
He never said these words to anyone, and only when facing Zhong Keke was he willing to say these thoughts.
"No." Zhong Keke's voice trembled, "Brother Yuqiao, don't think so."
While speaking, she turned around, raised her hand and rubbed his frown.
Jiang Yuqiao wrapped one arm around her and looked at her quietly, with pure and gentle eyes.
Zhong Keke said in a coaxing tone of words, "If I were you, I would hate him too, not only do I hate him, I might also do crazy things, but you didn't, you have experienced such a What a bad thing-"
Speaking of this, moist water vapor oozes out of his eye sockets uncontrollably, and Zhong Ke opened his eyes vigorously, "But you still grew up regardless of the weather."
The surging sourness rushed up her nose with her words, as if in an instant, there was something that could not be solved, the thick burden was resolved.
He didn't want to think about anything.
He just wanted to be with his little friends.
With emotions in her eyes, Jiang Yuqiao raised his hand and rubbed the end of her red eyes, and the words he spat out were hoarse, "Coco."
Zhong Ke can use a nasal "um" sound.
Thirteen years old.
Life is hopeless, everything seems to fall into the endless hell.
When he was collapsed and desperate, it was Zhong Keke who reached out to him, and since then, his life has been rekindled.
It was fine in the past.
Hatred.
Nothing matters.
Only her.
She is the most important.
Jiang Yuqiao looked at her fixedly, as if the cold winter had passed, and raised his lips like a pear blossom blooming in the wind in the warm and cold, "I promise you, I will be fine, and no longer think about the past."
He gently rubbed the back of Zhong Keke's hand, every word as solemn as a promise, "I will always accompany you, protect you, and never hurt you again."
"… "
Zhong Keke sniffed, desperately suppressing the urge to cry, "Really?"
Jiang Yuqiao leaned over and kissed her wet eyes, her lips hot.
"real."
The moment the voice fell.
Zhong Keke wiped the corners of his eyes and quickly kissed his lips.
"A liar is a puppy."
Jiang Yuqiao was stunned for a while, a smirk in his chest, "You—"
Before he could say the next words, Zhong Keke threw himself on him, hugged him like a rag doll, and rubbed his body, "That's it, don't think about anything in the future, just stay with me. around."
Jiang Yuqiao's back froze as if his heartbeat was stepping in the air.
The next second, the little girl's wet and squeamish voice landed in his ear with overwhelming power—
"No one hurts you, but Coco hurts."
