The sparerib porridge was still steaming, but when Taoxi held it in both hands, it didn't feel hot anymore, as if it was going to be cold soon.
Fearing that he would feel uncomfortable after drinking the cold porridge, she could only pick up the spoon thoughtfully: "Then I'll feed you." The words
almost blurted out without any room for regret.
Even though Taoxi regretted it as soon as she said it, she had no way out, she couldn't just watch him go hungry.
So I can only bite the bullet and take care of him as a patient.
Shang Huai tilted his lips slightly, holding a faint smile, but the emotion in his brows and eyes was indistinct. He didn't speak, but just nodded slightly.
Taoxi approached him, dragging the bottom of the plastic bowl with her left hand, holding the spoon in her right hand, and slowly scooped up half a spoonful of porridge, then she handed the half spoonful of porridge to him with the plastic bowl in her left hand: "Porridge It's not hot anymore."
Shang Huai leaned forward slightly, and took a small sip of the pork rib porridge that Taoxi fed him.
Taoxi continued to scoop him another half spoonful, and after drinking almost half, he stopped, as if he had had enough.
"Is it enough to drink only half of it?"
Shang Huaiqing didn't say anything, neither said it was enough nor said it wasn't enough, but just looked at her coolly.
The temperature in the borderland is low in summer, and the temperature in the room is not high, but in such a cool temperature, Taoxi's nervous palms are sweating.
Holding the remaining half of the porridge in her palm, she lowered her eyes and stirred the porridge with an excuse, avoiding Shang Huaiqing's sight.
After a moment of silence, he called her in a hoarse voice: "Taoxi."
"Huh?"
"What I said that day was not a joke."
It may be that people are a little fragile when they are sick, or they are too greedy for Taoxi to be with him The feeling around her, or because of what Jiang Chen said last night, Shang Huaiqing decided to confess her thoughts.
"What?" Tao Xi slowly stirred the pork rib porridge in his hand.
Shang Huai tilted his eyes slightly to look at her side face. Fair cheeks, long eyelashes, and cherry red lips looked fuller and more attractive from the side. His throat rolled slightly, and he continued: "Would you like to raise another one?" Is it a cat?"
So he was talking about that day.
Tao Xi didn't speak, and continued to wait for Shang Huaiqing's next words.
"If I want, I want to stay by your side all the time like every year, eat the food you cook, be taken care of by you, and want to take care of you too." Shang Huaiqing finally said what was in his heart hidden that day.
Tao Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly. In fact, she already had a premonition that day that he would confess his love, but later she heard him say something, I was joking.
That one sentence ended all her conjectures.
Until now, he finally told her the following words.
After such a long time, Taoxi didn't feel any sense of disappointment in his heart, and was even as nervous as that day, but because he had made his words clear, the fluster of being at a loss was gone.
The room was too quiet, Shang Huaiqing didn't say anything, as if waiting for Taoxi's response.
Half a minute later, Taoxi put her hands on her knees, she lowered her gaze, looking at the pork rib porridge in her hand: "Then why didn't you confess your love that day?
" I'll give you some time, anyway, you won't be able to run away, and I have a hunch." Shang Huai leaned forward slightly, supported the bed with one hand, and continued to whisper in her ear, "You will be mine sooner or later." "
... ..." Taoxi's cheeks were hot, she gently picked the lid of the plastic box with her fingertips, and muttered in a low voice, "I haven't promised you yet." "Oh." After a simple
word
, Shang Huai next to him There was no movement, and Taoxi didn't know what he was doing, so he turned his head and looked over.
In the cool and shallow light, Shang Huaiqing was looking at her side, the emotion in his eyebrows and eyes was very light, but there was some obvious smile on the corners of his slightly curved lips, like a fox demon coming from a distant mountain in Qingliang, A cool look makes people flustered.
Time is like condensed amber. At that moment, the sky and the earth condensed, and the scene of meeting Shang Huaiqing for the first time gradually appeared in Taoxi's mind. She still remembered that when the door opened, he stood under the thin and dazzling sunlight, with his eyes wide open. Picturesque, so good to see that people can't take their eyes off.
I still remember her beating heart suddenly.
Thinking about it, it was only a matter of last summer, but thinking about it again, Tao Xi actually had the illusion of being separated from another world.
At that time, I really thought that we just met him by chance, but I never expected that we would gradually meet him later, and slowly walk to each other's side.
Until now, they have slowly walked into each other's hearts.
Perhaps in this world, some love encounters are the process of mutual recognition between strange souls.
There will always be that one person who loves you silently in his way and with your boundaries, without disturbing or intensely, but caring about your little things, every minute and every second of your feelings.
One day, when you meet him, you don't have to go forward bravely regardless of everything, and you don't have to grit your teeth with scars.
He will take good care of you well.
At this moment, Tao Xi knew with certainty that her person was Shang Huaiqing.
She silently turned her head again, suddenly wrapped in a great sense of happiness, her mind was a little wandering, and she was also a little shy, not knowing how to promise him in person.
In a trance, she picked up the spoon in the takeaway box and took a sip of the still warm pork rib porridge.
It wasn't until she swallowed that she realized how outrageous her behavior was. She used the spoon Shang Huaiqing had just used to drink his pork rib porridge.
clear. sky. clap. thunderbolt.
I haven't agreed yet, but it's already like a lover who doesn't distinguish between you and me.
and.
Does this count as indirect contact with him?
Kissed?
Shang Huai smiled and watched Tao Xi sitting there blankly, he leaned over, without any physical contact, but half surrounded her in his arms: "So you promised me?"
Taoxi was still in the process of reacting, she didn't say anything, only to hear Shang Huaiqing next to her playfully tease her again: "Otherwise, why are you so impatient and want to kiss me, huh?" She kept her head down and turned sideways to
him , didn't dare to look at him, for fear that he, a goblin, would suck his soul and do something stupid again.
"I don't have one." Taoxi muffled her head and whispered, but her beating heart almost made her ears ring.
She let go of the spoon, and then put the pork rib porridge in her hand on the bedside table. Her role had changed, and she was now his girlfriend. Although she would blush shyly and have a flustered heartbeat, she couldn't match the sweetness in her heart.
But after all, it was her first love. Whether she was a little unskilled or a little dull, she didn't know what to do next.
"Why don't you talk again?"
"I don't know what to say." Taoxi got up, glanced at the cold medicine on the bedside table, poured him a cup of hot water, and said to him casually, "You drink the cold medicine first, and then go to bed." Take a nap."
Shang Huai propped up the bed and leaned against the bedside table: "Are you leaving?" "
Well, the flight in the afternoon."
After returning, Tao Xi felt that something was wrong, he might ask himself if he wanted to leave him room, but she replied that he was leaving the border here in the afternoon.
But after thinking about it, it's good to tell him, anyway, sooner or later, I will tell him.
Shang Huaiqing took the initiative to hold her hand: "Why are you leaving so soon?"
Tao Xi lowered her eyes and saw the two holding hands. She wanted to leave because she was embarrassed by grabbing his hand yesterday, but this After a while, when she was holding his hand, she felt a feeling of reluctance in her heart.
"I have to go back and have a look at the cats. I'm afraid that if the litter box is not cleaned in time, they won't defecate." She concealed her thoughts and said casually.
Shang Huaiqing didn't let go, and he seemed a little bit reluctant for her to leave, but he didn't force her, but asked with concern: "Have you booked the ticket?" "Yes, I booked the flight when I got up in the morning
. "
Shang Huaiqing was still holding Tao Xi's hand, he raised his good-looking eyebrows and said pitifully, "So you want to leave me in such a hurry?" "..."
Yes.
Because I really didn't know how to face him in the morning.
In the end, Taoxi couldn't hold back and confessed to him: "I was in a hurry to leave because I accidentally grabbed your hand yesterday. I was afraid of embarrassment, so I wanted to go home." Shang Huai smiled, and unconsciously held her tightly
. "Then now, are you still embarrassed?"
Tao Xi shook her head slightly, blushing on her cheeks, but said honestly, "Now I'm holding her boyfriend's hand, so it's not awkward anymore."
She spoke very well, like a kindergartener As if the child answered the teacher's question, she asked her if the sugar was sweet, and she answered obediently as if it was very sweet, expressing all her inner thoughts without reservation.
Shang Huaiqing listened quietly, and felt that the relationship with her seemed to be getting closer, that kind of intimacy without any gaps.
"Come here, sit here." Shang Huaiqing took her hand, and when she sat on the edge of the bed, he put his arms around her shoulders.
After holding hands, there will naturally be more intimate physical contact, but it may have come too suddenly, Tao Xi almost straightened up in his arms.
She didn't react at all, but let him be in his arms obediently.
Shang Huaiqing whispered in her ear: "Since you have bought the ticket and want to go back to see the cat, you can also go back in the afternoon. Anyway, my place is almost finished, you go back and wait for me, and I will take you after it is finished." Go out and play, okay?"
He always stood in her position, even though he was sick and wanted her to stay by his side, but thinking of her wanting to go back and see the cat, he didn't hold back much.
Even helped her dispel her worries.
"Okay." Tao Xi nodded mechanically.
She nodded slightly, but she still rubbed against Shang Huaiqing's arm intentionally or unintentionally, itching, so that the most primitive impulse of a man surged in his heart.
If it wasn't for the cold and fear of infecting her, he would have leaned over and kissed her lips frantically like a beast, until she was struggling shyly in his arms, and he would not let go.
Seeing the silence of the people around her, Tao Xi really wanted to turn around and see what he was doing there, but she was so close to him in his arms, she felt restrained, so she could only ask him in a low voice: " What are you thinking about there?"
"Huh?"
He asked back in such a puzzled manner, it sounded like he had been in a daze all along, and had just recovered.
so.
He hugged himself there just now, secretly thinking about what on earth.
Shang Huaiqing let her go: "No, I didn't think about anything."
He hesitated, then picked up the cold medicine on the table, and changed the subject with a guilty conscience: "Let me drink the medicine first."
Tao Xi She didn't speak, just stood up, and then she picked up the cup of hot water on the table and handed it to him.
Seeing that he finished drinking the medicine, she pulled off his quilt: "After taking the medicine, just sleep for a while, when you wake up, if you still feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital." Shang Huaiqing obediently got into the
room After getting under the quilt, he stretched out his hand from under the quilt and held Taoxi's hand again: "What about you, go back to the room to pack your luggage?" "Don't worry,
I can go after you fall asleep."
"Okay." Shang Huai Qing closed her eyes.
Taoxi took his hand and sat down on the chair beside the bed again. After sitting down, she held his hand with both hands and rested it on her chin. She watched him quietly by the dim bedside lamp. Lying there, even though he was lying flat, the lines on his face were still as natural and smooth as a painting.
Especially the tall and delicate bridge of the nose, as if carved out by a knife, without any sense of blemish.
In the dark light and shadow, his bones are really superior.
"Your boyfriend looks good even when I'm lying down, huh?"
When he was watching intently, he suddenly heard him say such a sentence. The smile became more and more foolish.
"That's why you keep staring at it?"
Although he was exposed, she mumbled guiltyly: "I didn't keep staring at it."
"Oh, that's a pity."
He kept his eyes closed all the time, and his lazy brows and eyes seemed to be stained with a smile, deliberately teasing her.
Tao Xi let go of his hand, and stuffed him directly into the quilt: "Go to bed quickly."
Shang Huai smiled, maybe the cold medicine had taken effect, he only felt that his eyelids were heavy, and drowsiness hit him, He slowly fell asleep.
This sleep was long and simple.
When he woke up, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, his head was not so dizzy, but his nose was still a little stuffy, but it was much better than in the morning.
The bedside lamp in the room had been turned off, and it was a little dark. Taking advantage of the light on his phone, he looked around. Tao Xi had already left. Remembering her afternoon flight, she probably had already left the hotel by now.
Shang Huai propped himself up on the bed, touched the switch, and turned on the bedside lamp.
Taking the phone, he opened WeChat, and he sent Taoxi a message.
— Where are you, the hotel, or the airport?
Taoxi came back quickly, but didn't answer his question, but cared about him immediately.
——You woke up, are you still uncomfortable?
Shang Huaiqing: Much better.
Taoxi: Oh, that's good, but we still need to rest more.
Shang Huaiqing: Okay, listen to you, and you, if you are still in the hotel, I will take you to the airport.
Tao Xi: No need, already on the way to the airport, Jiang Chen said he left a note for you, saying he would send it to me, the note is on the table, you haven't seen it yet, have you?
Shang Huaiqing: I just woke up, and the first thing I wanted to do was look for you.
There was no reply over there, as if he was shy, but also seemed to be laughing.
Not long after, Taoxi replied to him.
It turned out that the shyness and reservedness of a girl had long since disappeared in the words, only the clingy dependence on him as her boyfriend remained.
——I know, so along the way, I kept turning on the screen of my phone, waiting for you to find me.
