SEC Chapter 27 Banmei
Chapter 27 Banmei
"Are you still entertaining tonight?"
"...No, I'm just a little tired, and I don't want to go to dinner with Luo Zongyun and the others, just an excuse."
"Drink less alcohol in the future."
"...Well...you care so much..."
"Hahaha, I'm taking care of the little bean sprouts." Bai Xiao pretended to look at Cheng Yue's belly seriously and said, "Bean sprouts, be good, you're still a minor, you can't drink."
Cheng Yue couldn't help imagining the appearance of a bean sprouting in his belly and then growing into a small seedling, the corner of his mouth twitched.
"What a bad name!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Around 06:30 is the peak period, and the traffic jams gradually when driving into the urban area.
The car stopped and went, and Bai Xiao asked, "Did you tell Aunt Mei to go home for dinner?"
"Aunt Mei is not here today," Cheng Yue said after a pause, "She has gone back to her hometown in the past two days."
"Huh?" Bai Xiao was a little surprised, "It's not a festival these days, what are you going back to your hometown for?"
"Go...to pay homage," Cheng Yue took a deep breath, and said, "Sweep her son's grave."
Bai Xiao was a little surprised: "Her son?"
"Yes... died in a car accident a few years ago." Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "Fortunately, she also has a daughter who has been studying in the United States for a few years and hasn't come back for a long time, but she is quite filial."
"Then, what about her husband?"
"She divorced very early, her son was awarded to the husband, and her daughter was awarded to her. Aunt Mei has taken care of me since I was a child, probably because she seldom saw her son, so she was very kind to me," His throat moved, and he sighed: "She actually resigned before, feeling that the children are doing well and can go home to take care of the elderly, but then... an accident happened, so I hired her again."
Bai Xiao felt emotional and nodded, "But I think she's in a pretty good mood now."
"Yes," Cheng Yue pursed his lips, and said, "Aunt Mei is fine."
The relationship between people is really strange, Cheng Yue thought to himself, some people are your blood relatives, but you can’t wait to have nothing to do with them forever, some people seem to be just passers-by in life, but it makes people feel like this The world is nice and warm.
But after all, these relationships are not as unbreakable as family ties, and they have to leave after all.
Probably...he didn't have this luck and blessing.
Cheng Yue tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and suddenly he heard Bai Xiao ask: "Since Aunt Mei is not at home, how about going to my house for dinner?"
Cheng Yue: ...? ? ?
The thought of the two of them being alone in the same room made Cheng Yue a little nervous, he frowned: "Am I familiar with you?"
Bai Xiao was shocked: "No... not familiar? I have already eaten at your house!"
"That's because you have a thick skin!"
Bai Xiao: "..." She was speechless!
"Then what do you eat at home?"
"It won't bother you anymore."
“Definitely takeaway!”
"no!"
"what is that!"
Cheng Yue was at a loss for words for a moment, and he didn't even remember what to eat near his villa area. After all, if he went home, he wouldn't eat outside.
Bai Xiao laughed: "So, why don't you come to my house to eat, I'll make you whatever you want, don't eat indiscriminately, don't think about yourself, you should also think about our bean sprouts, right?"
Cheng Yue glared at him: "Who is with you!"
"Your bean sprouts, your bean sprouts..." Bai Xiao hurriedly comforted him, stopped teasing him, secretly smiled inwardly, and decided to fight for it again, "So let's go, not to mention that the road is so congested now, we can't leave until we're done eating. Wouldn't it be better?"
Cheng Yue was very annoyed by the traffic jam along the way, and suddenly felt that what he said was right.
It's just a meal, nothing more.
Cheng Yue thought for a while, and finally let go: "Okay."
The car finally passed a traffic light intersection, and stopped for a short while. Bai Xiao was feeling happy when he saw Cheng Yue closed his eyes, looking a little tired.
"Tired?"
"No." Cheng Yue cheered up immediately.
A trace of distress flashed in Bai Xiao's eyes, and she said with a smile, "I'm still waiting for you to say that you're tired, so that I can have a chance to drive your luxury car."
Cheng Yue glanced at him: "Just say it if you want to."
Bai Xiao regained her spirits all of a sudden: "I want to drive, I really want to drive! Come, come, stop on the side of the road for a while, I know the way to my house!"
Seeing his excitement, Cheng Yue thought it was funny, so he stopped on the side of the road to the right, and the two changed places.
Bai Xiao figured out the condition of the car, stepped on the gas pedal excitedly...then slowly squeezed into the traffic jam again at the speed of a turtle crawling.
"Such a blocked road, what is there to drive..."
When Cheng Yue said this with emotion, Bai Xiao just smiled and didn't answer.
Cheng Yue looked at Bai Xiao who was concentrating on driving, and he had already realized something in his heart. The warm feeling made him feel strange and a little bit at a loss.
He looked out of the window with some awkwardness, and a street lamp passed by the window, and the warm yellow light made him feel at ease.
In the silence in the car, his consciousness gradually became drowsy... and he fell asleep after a while.
During the parking interval, Bai Xiao turned her head and saw his peaceful sleeping face, her heart felt warm.
When he wakes up, he is always cold or prickly, but when he falls asleep, he is as gentle as a cat, and even makes people want to rub his hair.
Taking advantage of the stillness in front of the red light at the intersection, Bai Xiao secretly took out her phone, took a picture of Mr. Cheng's sleeping face, and secretly saved it.
This was probably the happiest time he's ever been stuck in traffic.
When Cheng Yue woke up, it felt like a long time had passed, so long... the sound of the whistle around him had disappeared, and even the lights seemed a little dim.There was silence all around, and he was a little dazed for a moment, not knowing where he was.
Cheng Yue looked around, turned his head to the left, and saw Bai Xiao looking at him with a smile in his eyes, that face looked more delicate and handsome in the night, with an expression almost pampering tenderness.
"Are you awake?" Bai Xiao asked, and couldn't help laughing when he was poked by the dazed look he had just woken up from.
Cheng Yue woke up instantly and came back to his senses - only then did he realize that his heart was beating out of rhythm.
The car was too quiet, he even wondered if Bai Xiao could hear the heartbeat, and immediately looked away in a panic.
"……Reached?"
"Well, seeing that you were in a deep sleep, I didn't wake you up."
This place seems to be the interior of the community. The last time he sent Bai Xiao back, he just stopped at the door, no wonder he felt at a loss.
Cheng Yue turned on his phone and looked at it. It was past seven o'clock.
"Let's go, there is a supermarket at the gate of the community, go and see what you want to eat."
The supermarket at the entrance is quite big, with all kinds of vegetables and meat, as well as fresh fish.
Bai Xiao is a standard carnivore, so she went to the carnivorous area first, looked left and right, looked back at Cheng Yue, and found that Cheng Yue was completely out of shape, so she asked, "Is there anything you want to eat in particular?"
Cheng Yue: "...I don't know, just look."
Cheng Yue is actually even more dazed now than when he just woke up. He has no idea when he looks at these ingredients, especially the meat, which are all piece by piece, and it is impossible to speculate from their current state that after they become edible dishes look.
"Do you want to eat ribs? Although it is not good to eat a lot of ribs at night, you can buy a little less and make a soup..."
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Cheng Yue's pale face and frowning.
"What's wrong?" Bai Xiao asked in surprise, and subconsciously wanted to grab Cheng Yue's wrist.
However, Cheng Yue just waved his hand, suppressing his discomfort forcibly, and said after a while: "...it's okay...don't mention the ribs...you want to vomit..."
After finishing speaking, he quickly walked to the bean product area to take a break, desperately driving the ribs and the greasy taste from his memory out of his mind.
He felt that he was quite far away, but he still felt that he could smell the fishy smell of meat. He was forcibly suppressing it, and suddenly something was stuffed in his mouth.
Mmm... sour.
It's half a plum.
Both sides of the mouth quickly secreted saliva, and Cheng Yue felt much better instantly.
"How is it? Is it better?"
Cheng Yue nodded, then frowned again: "Why are you so sour..."
Bai Xiao laughed: "I'm looking for sour ones, otherwise how can I suppress it... You don't like sour ones?"
"I don't like it." Cheng Yue frowned and spat out the plum core, and then asked, "...is there any more?"
Bai Xiao burst out laughing: "Didn't you say you don't like it?"
Cheng Yue: "...Because it's useful!"
"No more, I was glared at by that elder sister when I went to get it just now, let's buy some when we go out later."
Cheng Yue nodded, put his palm on his heart, and his eyes fell on a plate of half-sold bean sprouts.
Following his gaze, Bai Xiao made a guess: "Do you want to eat bean sprouts? Or buy some stir-fried food..."
Then he was stared at severely.
Bai Xiao: ...? ? ?
Cheng Yue frowned: "Little bean sprouts are so used to being called, don't you feel cruel to eat bean sprouts now?"
"...Pfft ha ha ha ha!"
He smiled so happily that everyone around him looked sideways.
Cheng Yue looked at him with disgust, thinking that he was probably sick: "...what's so funny about this!"
After a long time, Bai Xiao finally held back her laughter, but the smile in her eyes couldn't go away, and she still smiled from time to time, like a cramp.
Cheng Yue looked at him speechlessly, then looked at the bean sprouts in front of him, and finished what he wanted to say just now: "It's better not to call it bean sprouts, but to call them saplings in the future. Bean sprouts don't grow big, which is unlucky."
Bai Xiao couldn't hold back the laughter that she could hold back just now, she clutched her stomach and laughed tremblingly.
The corners of Cheng Yue's eyes twitched: "...Why is your smile so strange!"
"No...it's strange not to laugh, hahahaha!"
Cheng Yue couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and left, and then his wrist was pulled, Bai Xiao naturally pulled him and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll call it Xiaosapiao from now on, then do you want to eat bean sprouts?"
Cheng Yue said angrily, "I don't want to eat!"
"What about the fish? What about the celery? And potatoes? How about making you hot and sour potato shreds, it's very appetizing..."
Bai Xiao pulled him and walked forward, Cheng Yue's wrist was still held by Bai Xiao, he was a little concerned, he was not used to physical contact with others, but felt that it was too deliberate to break away at this moment, so he just Let him lead her forward in such an awkward way...
The tenderness in Bai Xiao's heart seemed to overflow.
It's obviously a prickly look, why does he think it's so cute?
