Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter (GL) - Chapter 73
“Order a few more dishes, I’ll be here after Shi Ci.” Ms. Ding took Tang Kai and sat down.
Shi Hai raised his head in surprise, his gaze flicked from Ms. Ding’s face to Tang Kai’s body, and he was silent and did not speak.
After Shi Bingcheng invited the waiter to order the food, he asked doubtfully, “Is she free to come over?”
Ms. Ding nodded, “Well, coming soon.”
“How did you know?” Shi Bingcheng asked with a smile.
“Just called…”
“Mom, didn’t you just go to the bathroom?” Shi Hai glanced at her, “I didn’t bring a mobile phone.”
Ms. Ding didn’t change her face, she chuckled, “You don’t need to call, our mother and daughter have a clear heart.”
Her words made Dad Shi laugh, and he didn’t think much, but Shi Hai slightly lowered his mouth. He raised his eyes to Tang Kai. Tang Kai was thinking of something, but when she noticed her gaze, she looked back. Shi Hai was taken aback and turned away.
After a while, Tang Kai smelled a familiar scent, which was a speech. She put her two shoes together slightly, sat quietly, and heard the voice of speech, “Dad…”
Shi Bingcheng’s voice, “Oh. Come here. Sit down.”
“Ms. Ding.”
Tang Kai glanced quietly and saw Shi Ci’s sleeves, she was wearing a light purple coat.
“Let’s see, is there a good heart,” Ms. Ding’s smile was a bit meaningful, and so did her eyes, “Sit down quickly, or sit here.”
“Sit among you, as a light bulb?” Shi Ci basked in the sun, naturally pulled the chair away, and sat down next to Tang Kai.
Tang Kai breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that he could visit her now.
You can’t turn your head fast or slow. It must be natural and natural. You must control your facial expressions, smile politely, look not too familiar, and watch for too long, just just right.
She struggled inwardly for a while, feeling that it was too long to herself, and finally made a decisive look to the left.
Shi Ci was looking at her with a smile, and Tang Kai also smiled slightly.
“Shi Hai, why don’t you call your sister?” Shi Bingcheng said.
Tang Si was stunned. From her perspective, Shi Hai looked at Shi Ci, and she only saw Shi Ci’s white and deep lines.
“Hey, iron the dishes for your sister.” Ms. Ding on Tang Kai’s right also said to him.
Shi Hai lowered his mouth and began to remove the transparent film of the bowls and chopsticks, but still did not call Shi Ci.
“Thank you.” Shi Ci smiled instead, turned his head and looked at Tang Kai. Tang Kai pressed her lower lip, and his heart beat twice. If he didn’t call her, it would be too rude and too familiar. Up.
“Professor Shi.” She whispered.
“Yeah.” Shi Ci’s lips pursed with a smile, and he blinked at her, there was a shimmer in his eyes.
Tang Kai thought about the meaning behind this name that only the two of them knew, and his cheeks suddenly burned. She hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to reveal the flaw.
The round table is full of steamers, and the atmosphere is fairly harmonious.
Shi Bingcheng said to Shi Ci: “I’m busy, I have to go home and have a look. Your mother misses you very much.”
Shi Ci glanced at Ms. Ding, and said slowly: “Oh.”
“Do you have any arrangements for the winter vacation?” Shi Bingcheng turned to Shi Hai, “it will be the next semester of junior year soon.”
Shi Hai paused, “…I’m very busy, too.”
His little book from the beginning has been serialized with seven or eight hundred chapters. In the final stage, his plot is okay, mainly about the attribution of some characters, but this can’t be told to outsiders. He doesn’t want to expose the vest.
Shi Bingcheng took a sip of tea and didn’t ask more.
Shi Hai let out a deep breath. He raised his eyes to look at Shi Ci, and his gaze turned a little further, it was Tang Kai. He was frustrated and didn’t want to look anymore. The chopsticks were used to clamp the ribs. His chopsticks were just put down, and the other pair of chopsticks were also at the same time. Coming over, two pairs of chopsticks selected a spare rib at the same time.
Shi Hai raised his head, glared at the speech, and pressed his chopsticks tightly.
Shi Ci stared at him, and didn’t mean to let him.
“I fancy it first!”
“Oh, is it so?”
The two quarreled over a piece of ribs.
Ms. Ding laughed, “What are you siblings doing?”
Shishi shrugged, “I will give you a spare rib.” Then he retracted his chopsticks.
Shi Hai picked up the ribs and stuffed it into his mouth, his expression not very happy either.
“There are other foods, you are still like children…” Dad Shi shook his head in a gentle tone.
“Well, Xiao Tang Kai, ignore them, naive…” Ms. Ding’s gaze swept between the two of them, and she continued to feed Tang Kai and chat with her, “What do your parents do? “
Tang Xie was startled, and said in a low voice, “They are all teachers.”
“Huh? Teacher family?” Ms. Ding asked with a smile, “My parents are from the same school?”
Tang Kai: “…Well, first in our village, and then to the junior high school in the county seat. My father taught English and my mother taught Chinese.”
“Oh, one Chinese and one English is very interesting, no wonder we Xiao Tang read English…” Ms. Ding suddenly gave her a piece of golden cake.
Tang Kai couldn’t refuse, so he ate it happily.
Ms. Ding stared at her, the more she looked, the more she liked it, and she asked with a smile, “So Tang Kai’s parents should be very young, right?”
“Ah, Ms. Ding…I want to eat golden cake…” Shi Ci suddenly said.
“Hey, you clip it by yourself…” Ms. Ding had no time to pay attention to her. She continued to ask Tang Kai, “Then…”
“Mummy…” Shi Ci called her again.
Ms. Ding turned to her, looked at her with words, and said pointedly: “Pick me a piece.”
Ms. Ding was silent for a second, and then laughed, “Look, such a big person is still acting like a baby…” She really used clean chopsticks to put a piece into the bowl of speech, and she didn’t ask Tang Kai again. It’s family affairs.
Tang Kai was a little uncomfortable, and he had a lot of food, and he was a little bit supportive.
Finally, after eating this meal, they walked out as a group. Ms. Ding and Dad Shi walked in front. Shi Hai followed them and glanced back. Behind them were Shi Ci and Tang Kai, walking shoulder to shoulder.
“Are you full?” Shi Ci asked her in a low voice, with unconcealed concern in his eyes.
“Yeah.” Tang Kai nodded.
“Are you okay?” Shi Ci’s hand dropped, stretched it over, and quickly touched Tang Kai’s finger.
Tang Kai bends her eyes at her and nods slightly.
“Speech, are you going back to school? By the way, take Xiao Tang for a ride.” Ms. Ding looked like eyes growing on the back of her head, and she turned her head and smiled at them.
Shi Ci calmly retracted his hand, “Yeah. I will.”
Shi Bingcheng also nodded, “Drive carefully. Take the children to school safely.”
Tang Kai suppressed his emotions and said goodbye to the elders.
Ms. Ding waved her hand and invited with a smile, “Come to Auntie’s house when you have time to play, let Shi Ci bring you.”
Tang Kai didn’t know if his words meant anything else, so he nodded pretendingly.
The two elders left first, and Shi Haidun stayed in front of him without looking back, and then took a step and left.
When he sat in the passenger seat of the resignation car, Tang Kai finally let go and heaved a sigh of relief. Shi Ci’s slender arms wrapped her shoulders and stroked her head gently.
Tang Kai pressed her cheek against her neck, listening to her steady heartbeat, neither of them spoke.
The underground garage is very quiet, and there are only two of them in the carriage, calm and stable.
“Does Auntie know?” Tang Kai was originally a sensitive temper. Ms. Ding’s attitude towards her was very friendly, and she seemed a little too enthusiastic.
She raised her head slightly to look at Shi Ci. From this angle, Shi Ci’s lips were naturally curled, her eyes lowered, and she nodded, “She knows.”
Tang Kai: “That…”
“It’s okay, I still understand Ms. Ding. She has never interfered with my affairs.” Shi Ci followed Tang Kai’s hair, “and she likes you very much.”
Tang Kai bit his lower lip, lowered his head, his eyes were hot, “…I also like Aunt Ding very much.”
She is very enthusiastic, caring, talks a lot, tells stories, and has delicious food. Her hands are gentle and her smile is warm. Everything about her feels like a mother.
Shici chuckled, “Ms. Ding’s popularity is nothing to say, there is no one she can’t get along with…” She touched Tang Kai’s face, “Why did you meet today?”
“…” Tang Kai hesitated, not knowing what to say for a while.
“Neither… just by chance…”
If you didn’t meet Ms. Ding just now, no one should come to rescue her, then what would she do?
“What’s the matter?” Shi Ci found that her expression was wrong, and asked, “What happened, can you tell me?”
Tang Kai’s lips moved slightly, without speaking. When she heard this, the first moment she thought about the man’s rudeness, but the advertisement, about Zheng, about her decision that summer.
It was like swallowing a large piece of sandpaper, grinding it in the heart of her flesh and blood one by one. If she can, she really wants to say everything.
She wanted to tell her everything, anxiety, low self-esteem, regret, self-contempt.
But there is so much difference between the two of them, and she has to bear a lot of speeches. How can she bear it?
Shi Ci suddenly kissed her forehead gently, she said nothing, but Tang Kai felt that the sandpaper moved slowly.
“Just now, at the subway entrance…” Tang wailed the pain in his throat, “There is a man…”
After she finished speaking, her face sank. She didn’t speak for several seconds, and brought annoyance when she spoke, “It’s all because I didn’t send you…”
Tang Chi almost broke down when she heard this sentence, she reached out her arm around Shi Ci’s neck, choked a little, “Don’t say that…”
The speech stabilized her emotions. She instinctively noticed that Tang Kai’s emotions were a little strange. She thought she was frightened by the man, and she felt even more distressed, “I will see you off every morning, OK?”
Tang Kai’s nose was sour, and he whispered: “Why are you so good to me…”
“Stupid tweet.” Shi Ci smiled instead.
Tang Kai looked up at her. The light in the carriage was not very bright. The slight light and shadow reflected on her face and the diamond pendant beside her ear, like a star, with her thick black eyelashes slightly flapping, blinking. , Is the tender affection to oneself.
“Professor Shi…” Tang Kai’s eyes were wet, she called her softly,
“Huh? Why…” Shi Ci laughed out loud.
Tang Kai’s cheeks were reddish, and he leaned forward boldly and actively, the tip of her nose touched her first, and then she kissed her giving speech.
The surrounding lights and shadows were gray, very quiet, and in the quiet, unoccupied garage, Tang Kai heard his thumping heartbeat. It seems that there is an invisible gravitation, which locks them firmly.
The heartbeat of speech was also speeding up, and her voice trembled slightly.
The kisses entangled in the dark and narrow space, there is a sense of belonging that there is nowhere to escape, and there is no need to look for it.
Tang Kai thought of a few poems in the warmth given by his speech: “
herheartfitforhome-
i-asparrow-buildthere
sweettwigsandtwine
myperennialnest.”
Her heart is suitable for home-
I-a sparrow (a little bird)-right there (here)
Fine vines with lovely twigs
Build my permanent nest.
