Chapter 48
After dinner, Chen Ting was squatting in front of the kitten's food bowl to add food to the cat. Before he got up, he heard a car coming in in the yard. His expression slightly stopped, and soon he seemed to have nothing happened. He turned his head and called out, "Mimi? Come here to have a meal~"
When Lian Jue entered the door, Chen Ting had just stood up.
It seemed as if he had just heard the movement. He turned his head and raised the corner of his lips to Lian Jue at the door: "Good evening, Mr. Lian."
Lian Jue raised his eyes, paused for a moment, and replied: "Okay."
Chen Tingwei's hands were stained with cat food and felt a little uncomfortable. He planned to wash his hands first, but when he saw Lian Jue walking towards the kitchen, his steps stopped again.
"Have you had dinner yet?" Chen Ting didn't look at him.
Lian Jue said "um" lightly.
Chen Ting didn't stand there for a few seconds, his toes changed toward him. He walked into the kitchen and said to Lian Jue: "I'll do it."
——No matter what, Lian Jue's meticulousness as always made Chen Ting grateful from the bottom of his heart. He had said thank you too many times, and it seemed redundant to say too much.
Lian Jue stood still and didn't move, didn't look at him, nor did he intend to appreciate it, and said calmly: "No need."
Chen Ting didn't lower his eyes and looked at his dirty hands. After thinking about it, he decided to use his wrist to press against Lian Jue's side arm and planned to force him out of the kitchen area.
Lian Jue didn't expect that he would suddenly take action, and he was stunned for a moment without relieving his mind. His own cultivation told him that he would maintain the pulling incredible manner, so he slowly raised his legs and obediently followed Chen Ting's unleashed.
"Do you want to eat?" Chen Ting didn't ask him, and saw that he didn't like to talk to him, he insisted on his own, "If not, I'll do whatever I want..."
"Crucian carp and tofu soup." Lian Jue spoke slowly.
Chen Ting looked up at him without raising his eyes, and said, "Okay."
It was already very late, but fortunately, Shen Ting did not find any treated crucian carp in the refrigerator, so it was not too troublesome to make.
He fryed the marinated crucian carp on low heat and a small amount of vegetable oil until golden on both sides, added water and cooking wine, cut shredded ginger and put it in seasoning, covered the pot and waited for the water to boil, then flipped through the refrigerator, took out the mushrooms and bacon, and planned to make a simple salty glutinous rice for Lian Jue.
He also tried to make glutinous rice several times in his previous house, but he always couldn't master it well. Either the rice was sticky or the temperature was too light. He suddenly remembered a food video he had watched on Weibo two days ago, and mentioned the trick of cooking glutinous rice. While cutting the tofu into crucian carp soup, he recalled the content in the video.
After thinking for a long time, he could only come to the conclusion that he was in the stage of "pregnancy stupidity". So he turned off the fire, stewed the soup first, and prepared to go back to the bedroom to take his cell phone over.
After coming out of the kitchen, Lian Jue was no longer in the living room. He should have gone back to the room to rest for a while.
Before Chen Ting went upstairs to get his cell phone, he had just arrived at the second floor and heard Lian Jue talking to someone in a calm voice.
Chen Ting did not respond for a moment, Lian Jue should be on the phone.
He did not have the habit of inquiring about other people's privacy, and he did not stop. He continued to walk towards the end of the corridor, but found that Lian Jue's voice became clearer, and even the light clearing sound mixed in the conversation was clearly heard by him.
He was confused, but he soon knew the reason.
He saw the door of the bedroom next to him was faintly hidden, and Lian Jue's voice was coming from the bedroom.
A 'click' sound came from the room.
Chen Ting did not pause for a moment, and the low and vague voice suddenly got very close to him, and the bedroom door was suddenly pulled open from the inside.
Lian Jue took off the suit jacket he was wearing when he entered the door, and the thin white shirt on his body tightly outlined the outline of the body's muscles. The buttons on the neckline were not unbuttoned, but the tie lost its regular shape and hung it loosely around his neck. He held the phone in one hand and maintained the door opening with the other hand, so he held the newly lit cigarette in his mouth.
The white mist rising from the scarlet part of the fireworks made Lian Jue narrow his eyes slightly. Seeing Chen Tingwei standing at the door, he almost immediately took off the cigarette in his mouth, turned his head, frowned slightly, and looked for something with his eyes. Perhaps he could not find the object that had wiped the cigarette butt in his sight, and then simply closed the door.
Lian Jue still pinched the cigarette. He pressed his throat that was a little painful, and stood back to the window with his cell phone.
Yu Man said on the other end of the phone: "Ning Xue has called Lao Chen a few days ago. Lao Chen was annoyed a few times. The last time he was a treasure at the auction, he smashed the thing he bought. I guess Ning Xue is talking about you."
In fact, Lian Jue is not surprising.
Fifteen years of daily life were enough to understand Chen Chulian's character clearly. With Chen Chulian's vengeful personality, he would never tolerate the "dog" he raised himself to bite him back after he was raised. He sued him for the crime of embezzlement, which was nothing more than trying to send him in with his own hands and take back all the "gifts" he gave.
I thought it was a tough battle, but in the end it was filed for a while, but after insufficient evidence, I quickly released the full score. If I just wanted to restrict his economy during this period and give him a warning, it would be unreasonable.
Lian Jue knew in his heart that the only thing that could play a role was Chen Ningxue. Although Chen Chu didn't mention it, anyone with a discerning eye could see how much he loved this only daughter.
After hanging up the phone, Lian Jue thought for a long time and opened his phone to find Chen Ningxue’s WeChat.
The final chat record was still on the red exclamation mark two months ago. He clicked on Chen Ningxue's avatar and saw the added pictures from the album preview.
Chen Ningxue didn't know when he released him from the blacklist.
After a little thought, he felt that sending messages directly was not a good way. If it were put before, it would have been fine. Now something between the two has been completely exposed in an ugly scene. The closeness established over the years has inevitably decreased, and a lot of invisible alienation has been added.
Lian Jue thought about it and clicked on her circle of friends, liked her latest travel plog, then put down her phone and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After he finished his shower and came down from the upper floor, Chen Ting was holding the prepared food on the table. He did not have the consciousness to go over to help, so he took the water cup and fetched the water.
Chen Ting didn't return to the kitchen again. When Lian Jue lowered his head and pressed the water purifier, he heard the sound of the microwave turning and heating.
He stood in front of the water purifier and drank a glass of water slowly. Chen Ting had already come out of the kitchen and wiped his hands with a tissue.
"The rice is ready." Chen Tingwei said to him.
He seemed to be afraid that Lian Jue would say thank you to him. He moved Lian Jue's lips and was about to speak and said first: "I'll go upstairs to rest first."
Lian Jue placed the water cup on the table next to the water purifier, and did not look at his gentle face. He lowered his head to take his cell phone that had shaken twice, and said in a low voice: "Good night."
Chen Tingwei also said to him: "Good night."-
If you have the chance to come and play, brother-
Approve you to bring your family.
Lian Jue stared at these two natural WeChat posts and interpreted the meaning expressed in her two sentences. After a long time, he replied: OK.
Putting away his phone, walking to the dining table, Lian Jue reached out to pull the back of the chair and suddenly stopped in the air.
Then, he picked up the wooden villain from the table who felt very stupid at first sight and was not very similar to Chen Ting.
The villain tilted his head, raised his hands high above his head, and held a note paper in a strange posture. Judging from the uncensored arrangement of words and sentences above, it is not difficult to infer the trajectory of Chen Ting's heart when he was not writing.
The sticky note paper is very small, and in the middle it is written in Duanxiu's handwriting that almost occupy the entire piece of paper: smoke less cigarettes.
Maybe I thought this sentence was too stiff or too unnatural, so I put a row on the upper left corner: If the throat hurts.
Later, I added a 'bar' after the four words "Smoke less cigarettes" and a very stupid emoji.
He lowered his eyes and said that in addition to dinner, there was a glass of steaming pear water on the table.
[If your throat hurts, smoke less cigarettes^^]
Today's fatigue value is used up, and I will move it tomorrow. Changpei should be a little faster than here.
Chapter completed!
