Lu Chengxi held a bag in his hand and handed it to Tong Jiangxin. He said nothing and just walked inside. But when he saw the slippers still in the same place, he paused and then turned his head.
Without replying, he said, "Put your shoes on, I don't like others stepping on my floor with bare feet."
Tong Jiangxin watched Lu Chengxi return to the master bedroom. She opened the bag and saw that there were several brands of sanitary napkins and a dozen women's underwear.
There were all kinds of mixed feelings in her heart, and Tong Jiangxin slowly tightened her fingers on the bag.
After sitting for a while, she stood up, walked to the slippers, put on some large men's slippers with bare feet, and then walked to the bathroom.
After everything was changed, Tong Jiangxin came out of the bathroom. The lights in the hall were still on, but the air conditioner was turned off. She stood there without moving for a long time.
After standing there for who knows how long, Tong Jiangxin walked to the entrance, reached out to turn off the wall lamp, and then stepped into the guest bedroom.
That night, the two of them lived under the same roof, but they were separated by two closed doors.
Tong Jiangxin was lying on the brand-new big bed, habitually shrinking her legs, which only occupied a small half of the bed. The quilt covering her body had a new smell. She couldn't help but think of Lu Chengxi's expressionless face.
face.
The same thing happened to Lu Chengxi at the moment. His temples were beating a little from being drunk. Lying on the bed, his heart couldn't help but think of Tong Jiangxin. What was she doing now? In the hall or in the guest room? She was here.
, will it be uncomfortable?
It was like this all night, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.
Perhaps because he had something on his mind, Lu Chengxi automatically woke up early the next morning. The scenery that caught his eye took him three seconds to realize where he was. Thinking of Tong Jiangxin, he turned over from the bed without much hesitation.
And rise.
After leaving the bedroom, Lu Chengxi heard a voice coming from the direction of the kitchen. He walked over and stood by the door. He saw Tong Jiangxin in the kitchen.
Tong Jiangxin wore an English-style floral apron around her waist. The fire was burning on the stove, and she was cutting a newly unpacked ham on the cutting board.
The ham was cut into slices and then shredded. Tong Jiangxin cooked the pasta in a pot, and then heated the pan on another stove.
Pour olive oil into the pan and wait until the oil is hot. Tong Jiangxin puts in the drained pasta and sliced ham and stir-fries. The pasta is golden in color and the rich aroma spreads through the entire kitchen and reaches Lu Chengxi by the door.
between nose.
Tong Jiangxin had been busy in the kitchen for half an hour, and he stood by the door and watched for half an hour.
The soft light shone on Tong Jiangxin, and it was so beautiful that it made people subconsciously hold their breath. Lu Chengxi had a momentary impulse to walk over and hug her waist from behind.
However, such thoughts were fleeting, because after Tong Jiangxin put the noodles on the plate, she turned around and met his gaze.
The two looked at each other and paused for three seconds. Tong Jiangxin said first, "You're awake. I wanted to call you just now. After you finish cleaning up, come over for dinner."
The expression on her face was as usual, and there was no joy or anger in her voice. This time it was Lu Chengxi's turn to be confused. He didn't know what Tong Jiangxin meant, but he couldn't help but be excited in his heart. Without hesitation, he turned back
He went to the bedroom, washed up, changed clothes, and then walked out.
Tong Jiangxin was already sitting on a chair in the kitchen. Lu Chengxi sat down opposite her. Looking at the pasta on the plate, he said, "Can you still make this?"
Tong Jiangxin replied, "When I was studying in the United States, I had a friend who was Italian. She taught me how to make it. I don't know how it tastes. If you are not used to it, just call the restaurant to deliver the food."
Lu Chengxi looked across the dining table at Tong Jiangxin opposite, as if he wanted to see something from her calm face.
But Tong Jiangxin lowered her eyes slightly, just holding a fork and concentrating on eating the pasta on the plate.
Lu Chengxi also picked up his fork and took a bite. He hummed and said, "It tastes okay."
Tong Jiang said happily, "I have done too much, but you still haven't done enough."
How long has it been since the two of them had such a calm and normal conversation?
Lu Chengxi suddenly remembered that more than half a year ago, when Tong Jiangxin had just agreed to be with him, during that time, they were still respectful to each other. She worked at Lu's, and they met many times every day. He also used to dote on his girlfriend.
Dote on her just as much.
If the incident with Sun Changning had not happened, would the relationship between them not be what it is today?
Lu Chengxi stared at the pasta on the plate, his consciousness drifting far away.
"Lu Chengxi, why did you ask me to accompany you to Macau?"
Lu Chengxi's thoughts were interrupted by Tong Jiangxin's voice, and he raised his eyes to look at her.
Tong Jiangxin put down the fork in her hand and looked back at him.
Lu Chengxi paused for a while, and then said, "Aren't you willing to do anything to save Uncle Cheng? Why do you regret it now?"
Tong Jiangxin calmly replied, "I have no regrets, I just don't know what you mean. If you ask me to do something specific, I think it's better for me to know the matter first."
Lu Chengxi looked at Tong Jiangxin's calm face. He opened his thin lips and replied, "What do you think I want you to do?"
Tong Jiangxin raised the corners of her lips and said with a faint smile, "You can't just tell me to die."
Lu Chengxi's heart suddenly ached, and his gaze turned cold as he stared at Tong Jiangxin. This damn woman always wanted to make him unhappy like this.
After a pause, Lu Chengxi said in a deep voice, "What if I want you to die?"
Tong Jiangxin thought about it for a moment, and then replied casually, "I guess you don't. If you just want me to die, why did you bring me to Macau? It might be more convenient to die in Hong Kong."
Lu Chengxi pursed his thin lips. His current state was already on the verge of anger.
Tong Jiangxin saw all the small expressions on his face. She didn't think she could hurt Lu Chengxi, but it was enough to make him angry.
She is not someone who is looking for trouble. She just calmed down for a night and decided that it would be better to solve the problem quickly. She would not be fooled into thinking that Lu Chengxi would be good to her again. Maybe the sugar-coated bullets now were just to confuse her, and then in
When she was confused and infatuated, he threw her into another man's bed.
To irritate Lu Chengxi so much was just to get him to give him a pleasant word.
For the first time, Lu Chengxi couldn't guess what Tong Jiangxin was thinking. He just thought she was baffled. First she made breakfast for him. He thought she was showing kindness, but in the blink of an eye, she was sarcastic. What on earth did she want to do?
After thinking again and again, Lu Chengxi couldn't think of anything. Looking at Tong Jiangxin, he said calmly, "Indeed, you are right. It is easy to let you die. There is no need to go to all the trouble to let you die in Macau. Since you want to know me so much
