Peach Branch Bubbles - Chapter 70
When Tao Zhi closed the bedroom door and walked into the kitchen again, the noodles were already cooked.
The clear noodle soup with tomato and egg flower, the noodles are white and flexible, the noodles are fried with green onion, and a small soft-boiled omelette is spread on the top of the noodle bowl.
Jiang Qihuai turned around, put the noodle bowl on the table and pushed it in front of her, and handed her a pair of chopsticks.
Tao Zhi sat at the long table as the kitchen partition and pierced the omelette with his chopsticks.
The tender yellow flow heart emerges from under the thin thin egg white that has been punctured, and flows onto the dried noodles.
Tao Zhi ate two slices of tomatoes and put down his chopsticks.
Jiang Qihuai sat opposite and raised his eyes: “What’s the matter?”
Tao Zhi propped his head on the table: “I don’t want to eat anymore.”
Jiang Qihuai also put down his chopsticks: “Not delicious?”
“It doesn’t taste bad,” Tao Zhi was a little absent-minded, as if he was stubborn, “I just didn’t want to eat it all of a sudden.”
“What do you want to eat?” Jiang Qihuai asked, “Would you like chicken wings?”
Tao Zhi was stunned, she raised her head: “Is there any?”
“Coincidentally,” Jiang Qihuai glanced at his watch, “It’s just a little bit later to eat.”
Tao Zhi didn’t speak.
Strawberry is a coincidence, and chicken wings are also a coincidence.
It was a coincidence that I met in a Japanese food store, and it happened that he was the direct boss of a good friend for many years.
Even the photos of her that nobody wanted happened to be in his hands.
Tao Zhi looked at him and suddenly whispered: “Is it really just a coincidence?”
Just as Jiang Qihuai got up and opened the door of the refrigerator, he pulled out a bag of frozen chicken wings from the freezing layer, pinched it in his hand, and turned around.
Tao Zhi walked over, took the bag of chicken wings in his hand, and lowered his eyes: “Why are you back?”
Jiang Qihuai looked at her without speaking.
“Why are you leaving the United States for a good job? You have come back?” She asked softly, “Is it because of the high salary?”
Jiang Qihuai lowered his eyes: “No.”
Tao Zhi took a deep breath: “I met again at the Japanese food store last time, was it a coincidence?”
“no.”
“Photo,” Tao Zhi asked again, “the one in your bedroom. When it was taken, didn’t you know who the photographer was?”
Jiang Qihuai was silent, and replied quietly: “I know.”
Tao Zhi squeezed his fingertips vigorously, staring at him with black eyes, and asked the last question: “Do you still like me?”
Jiang Qihuai looked at her.
His thick eyelashes were low and low pressure, and his light brown eyes like glass looked at her unblinkingly. Some intense and depressive emotions surged upwards uncontrollably. He opened his mouth, but he could not make a sound. Gently, breathing out a breath.
After a long while, he whispered: “I like it.”
His voice was dumb, slowly, biting word by word, speaking very lightly, and seemed to repeat with a heavy weight: “I have always liked you.”
Tao Zhi did not speak, pinched the fingers of his fingertips to relax a little, and then hung down.
She probably, what she has been waiting for, is this.
Tao Zhi sometimes couldn’t help thinking, if she and Jiang Qihuai were not so young back then, would everything be different.
She originally had so many things to say, and there were so many that she didn’t have time to say, but when she heard his saying don’t come again, all her sanity and patience were smashed by an unspeakable betrayal anger. It’s torn apart.
She never hated him for choosing to leave, she just complained that he didn’t choose to believe in her, and believe in himself once.
At that time, she decisively left with the one she didn’t meet anymore. She didn’t imagine any future anymore, but she didn’t expect that when she saw Jiang Qihuai again, her heart would still wake up uncontrollably.
Even she herself underestimated her liking for him.
Anse Se told her before that he thought he couldn’t be so cheap, Tao Zhi was still in a state of ignorance at the time, and he still couldn’t understand it.
She still likes Jiang Qihuai, in fact, as long as she has this is enough, as long as she still likes him, then it doesn’t matter whether it is a loss or a gain, who can tell.
If there is anything to escape or to be upset, there is nothing to be wronged or complained about, no one has done anything wrong. As long as two people still like each other, as long as she likes him, he still likes her, Tao Zhi doesn’t think it is necessary. Care about so much.
She is a warrior who does not evade and retreats, and is the sun that moves forward. Now that the previous chaos has been sorted out, she can continue to move forward.
Tao Zhi put the chicken wings in his hand back into his hands, then leaned his back on the dining table, cleared his throat and glanced at him, and said seriously: “Then, do you have anything else to say? No. 3821 .”
She looked at him sternly, her beautiful jet-black eyes couldn’t help faintly revealing a little expectation.
This mood turned too fast, and Jiang Qihuai still didn’t react.
He lowered his head and glanced at the frozen chicken wings that she had put back in his hands. He raised his eyes, not knowing what she wanted to hear, or what he could say so as not to scare her away again.
She loves to eat so much, and she should be right when she says something about eating.
Jiang Qihuai was patient and asked tentatively: “Do you still want to eat chicken wings?”
Tao Zhi: “…”
Tao Zhi was so angry that her eyes turned black. She closed her eyes, stepped on slippers and went to sit on the sofa in the living room.
Jiang Qihuai threw the bag of frozen chicken wings into the pool. The chicken wings hit the wall of the pool and made a “boom”. He ignored it and rushed over.
When Tao Zhi heard him coming, he pulled a pillow and hugged him in his arms, burying his head in it, not wanting to ignore him.
How could there be such a bored person in this world!
Isn’t what she hinted is not obvious enough! !
She held the pillow for a long time and didn’t hear any sound beside her.
Tao Zhi’s fingertips grabbed the soft cloth of the pillow, his head poked out from above, revealing a pair of bright eyes.
Jiang Qihuai was sitting next to her, with his upper body leaning forward slightly, his arms on his knees, and his head sideways looking at her.
When his eyes met, he suddenly said: “The photos are not only bought because you are the photographer, you are very good-looking.”
Tao Zhi was stunned, resting his chin on the soft pillow and looking at him.
After leaving Experiment One, Jiang Qihuai has not contacted anyone in the experiment.
Except for Ji Fan.
It’s also amazing to say that Jiang Qihuai has always felt that the two people belong to the kind of relationship that can’t deal with each other. Ji Fan has never been stingy to show his dissatisfaction with him at the same table. It makes people feel very smooth to get along with each other.
In their contact, Ji Fan often said more. He only asked occasionally, and Ji Fan would talk to him about various things.
For example, her most recent exam regressed by a hundred points. She was studying harder than before. She barely took a break every day. She scored 700 points on the first test, and she was about to fly at home.
She finally found a school that only recruited students based on the results of cultural courses, so she could study the major she wanted to learn. For the first time, she participated in an exhibition with her work, and for the first time she won a prize in an international competition.
That photo was the first time Tao Zhi participated. It was just a small-scale private auction held by a photographer. The exhibitors were also few-known amateurs. He was watching her squatting under the frame of the photo from a distance, dragging his head with both hands, and looking at her child seriously and patiently. After waiting for a long time, no one stopped for the child.
She waited like this all afternoon. From the sun was in full bloom to the setting sun, Jiang Qihuai saw her standing up, rubbing her numb legs, her eyelashes hanging down, like curled up on the wall of a small alley in her hometown. The cat looks lonely and lost.
That photo was not expensive because it was not a well-known photographer and no one raised the price, but it still spent all the remaining money that Jiang Qihuai had at the time.
He watched the staff at the exhibition carefully wrap the photo layer by layer, the warm red sunset in the photo dyed a large area of the sea, but the girl’s instep and calf seemed to be unwilling to be submerged by this rich color. The slightest, like her whole person, is conspicuous and vivid, warm and vivid.
As always, as now.
Jiang Qihuai tilted his head, looking at him as a girl who hadn’t reacted at all, and continued: “I came back to China to find you and go to the Japanese food store because I knew you were there. As for chicken wings, this is really just a habit,” Jiang Qihuai said helplessly, “because you always like to run to my house without saying a word.”
He said sentence by sentence, Tao Zhi’s ears were already burning, until she heard this, she couldn’t help but retort in a low voice: “Whoever always runs to your house without a word, I didn’t think you were sick. Very serious.”
And what made her completely unable to sit still was Fu Xiling’s phrase “studying God alone”.
She slowly absorbed all the messy straight shots from the left and right shots above him. She grabbed the hairy spikes on the pillow with her fingertips, and then said, “So what?”
She looked at him expectantly for the second time.
“So,” Jiang Qihuai took a deep breath and continued, “I am not on a whim. From the day I left, I wanted to come back. I know you may not be able to accept it for the time being—”
Before he finished speaking, Tao Zhi raised his hand and held his palm high against him.
She closed her eyes and said calmly: “You hurry up and shut up. If you go on, I’m afraid I will slap your face with anger.”
Tao Zhi was so anxious that he rushed to bite him.
Why are there such incomprehensible men in this world?
Is her meaning not obvious enough?
But Tao Zhi also enjoyed the way he took the initiative to offer his service now, like a big dog, what if she took the initiative and Googoujiang turned back to the annoying mean wolf before.
She was thinking about it in a mess, when the tip of her finger held in front of him was suddenly pinched.
Tao Zhi was stunned and opened his eyes.
The man’s fingers were a little cold, so he squeezed her fingertips and pulled it a little bit, then put it in his palm and gently held it.
Intertwining his fingers, Tao Zhixin jumped sharply.
Jiang Qihuai leaned forward slightly and leaned over, pulling the pillow in her arms upwards. They were in the middle. The distance between the two people was very close. There seemed to be only a soft pillow as a cover.
Jiang Qihuai leaned his jaw against the pillow, and he seemed to press up with half the weight of his body: “Zhizhi, I have always liked you.” He pressed his forehead forward and looked at her with closed eyebrows, his eyes deep and deep. Long, the voice sounded low and dull, “I want to be with you again.”
