Chapter 26
Chapter 25
After Jiang Nian finished speaking, there was a subtle silence on the table, which was very short.
Yao Ran did not deliver the food to his mouth, but secretly noticed Qiao Zhiyu’s reaction. But Joe was always calm and didn’t say anything. He couldn’t see what she was thinking in her heart.
Qiao Zhiyu has such a personality and always laughs, but it is difficult for you to see the meaning of laughter.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Ji Xi glanced at Jiang Nian and guessed that Jiang Nian could not control her mouth.
Ji Xi can afford to make jokes, and it is difficult for people who can’t make jokes these years to confuse. After she was joked, she would often say something like “Don’t talk nonsense” a little seriously. Make your stand.
Jiang Nianchao Jixi gently “tsk”.
Just by looking at the expression, Ji Xi knew what Jiang Nian was thinking at the moment. After taking Ms. Jiang’s brain-replenishing ability, she picked up a shaved belly and put it in Jiang Nian’s bowl. “You don’t like this, eat more. point.”
Let her eat more vegetables and talk less.
I drank a glass of wine.
Under the dining table, Jiang Nian gently touched Yao Ran’s leg with his knee.
The hint can be withdrawn.
Yao Ran put down the wine glass.
Jiang Nian pretended to take out his phone and glanced at it, and then said apologetically: “Hey, there is a customer in the store. Now I want me to come over.”
As soon as Yao Ran put his chopsticks off, he started acting with Jiang Nian: “What customer is going to pass now? You are eating, let him change the time.”
Jiang Nian frowned, “No way. Old customers, he has been running out of time, and he just has time tonight.”
Yao Ran thought about it and said, “Then I will accompany you over.”
Jiang Nian said again: “Okay, you can eat here, I can go there alone.”
Yao Ran said, “I’ll stay with you.”
The two of you are really addicted to each sentence.
Yao Ran explained to Qiao Zhiyu: “She opened a tattoo studio by herself. She’s usually very busy. I’m sorry, but she said she would get together in the evening.”
“Either get together again next time,” Jiang Nian couldn’t wait to pick up the bag, “I will treat you next time.”
After speaking, Jiang Nian and Yao Ran have hurriedly got up. Looking at the sudden appearance, Ji Xi didn’t think that these two people seemed to be acting as a duo. Jiang Nian’s studio is made by appointment. Will this happen?
“It’s okay, let’s go if you are in a hurry. Let’s get together again next time.” It was Qiao Zhiyu who spoke.
Yao Ran and Jiang Nian smiled tacitly at the same time: “You eat slowly, then we go first. See you someday.”
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Nian and Yao Ran slipped away just like rushing to the scene.
At first, Ji Xi only suspected that these two people were deliberate, until a minute later, she received a WeChat message from Jiang Nian:
“I helped you get here.”
“Behave well and try to win tonight.”
Ji Xi: “…”
After Jiang Nianyao Ran left, the room was quiet a lot, and the food was basically not eaten, only a glass of wine.
Ji Xi put away the bowls and chopsticks slightly. This house is small in size. In fact, it is crowded for four people to eat together, but two people are just right.
Keep eating.
“Boil the tofu for a while, it will be more delicious.” Ji Xi stood up, picked up a small plate of tofu and prepared to put it in the pot. Although the action was cautious enough, the tofu smashed when it jumped into the pot and splashed with the soup.
The hot soup splashed on the back of her hand, and Ji Xi’s hand was only slightly shrunk. Still the same as a okay person.
“It’s hot?” Qiao Zhiyu asked.
“It’s okay.” Ji Xi smiled and wiped it twice with a tissue.
Qiao Zhiyu saw that she liked her mouth to be hard, so he took her hand and looked down, “It’s hot red.”
Ji Xi’s hands are thin and beautiful, but the skin is not delicate enough, especially after being held by Qiao Zhiyu’s hands, there is a sharp contrast.
“Wipe some medicine. Is there any medicine at home?”
“No.” Ji Xi said in a trivial tone, thinking that if Qiao Zhiyu saw the big burn on her shoulder, she would feel that this was nothing to her.
Ji Xi stared at Qiao Zhiyu silly, and couldn’t help being distracted again. She didn’t feel anything when others cared about her like this. As long as Qiao Zhiyu cared about her, she would feel different. Will think of that sister.
Qiao Zhiyu’s focused eyes on Jixi last year, let alone, every time the other person looks at him seriously, it is really stupid and cute. She asked Ji Xi, “Why, do you think of your friend again?”
Ji Xi admitted: “Yeah.”
Qiao Zhiyu asked for the second time: “What friend?”
Ji Xi thought about it and replied: “One, my sister who treated me very well before.”
Qiao Zhiyu looked at Ji Xi’s hot red hands again, and suddenly he was silent and thoughtful.
For a moment, “Mr. Joe.”
Qiao Zhiyu looked up.
Ji Xi smiled and said, “Eat more.”
Qiao Zhiyu hooked his lips: “Don’t worry, I’m not polite to you.”
Ji Xi feels that when they are alone, they have to be a lot more at ease. And Qiao Zhiyu also felt the same, although it was not as lively as it was just now, but now it is more comfortable and natural.
When Ji Xi returned home, she changed her shirt. Because she wanted to eat hot pot, she put on a loose dark T-shirt with a wide neckline, revealing a collarbone and a little looming tattoo.
Qiao Zhiyu asked: “Did you make your tattoo in Jiang Nian?”
“Well, Jiang Nian gave me the tattoo.”
“It hurts, right?”
Ji Xi said relaxedly: “I am not afraid of pain.”
Qiao Zhiyu wanted to hear more, but Ji Xi didn’t say any more.
After eating for a while, Ji Xi’s lips were burnt red, brighter than wearing lipstick.
Qiao Zhiyu caught a glimpse: “Is it spicy?”
Ji Xi took a sip of wine, “It’s okay.”
The wine is taken out of the refrigerator and paired with a hot pot.
“Go and look in the mirror. My mouth is hot and swollen and it’s okay.” Qiao Zhiyu stared at Ji Xi’s lips and smiled, and then passed the coconut milk at room temperature to Ji Xi, “Drink this with me. Eat it hot again. Eat cold again, be careful of stomach troubles.”
Ji Xi obediently took it, drinking coconut milk with Qiao Zhiyu. It’s not fun to clink glasses.
It takes time to eat hot pot, and it is hard to finish it in an hour. Two people eat something more tasteful than one person, talking and laughing, and unknowingly eat up their stomachs. Ji Xi and Qiao Zhiyu seldom did this, and it was a very satisfying meal tonight.
“There is also a chicken wing.”
“you eat.”
“I’m stuffed.”
“I can’t eat it anymore.”
…
The lighting in this area of the kitchen is warm, the heat is rising in the pot, and the temperature of the indoor air conditioner is low. For a while, there is an illusion of indistinguishable distinction between winter and summer.
The two of them made their cheeks flushed slightly.
Ji Xi felt that.
very warm.
In summer, it is also used to describe warmth, and people will probably say that the brain is flooded.
After dinner, after a brief cleanup, Ji Xi opened the window for ventilation. After eating and drinking, the two stood on the balcony to blow the air, and digested by the way.
On the 32nd floor, the evening breeze is blowing, except for the heat, it is much more comfortable than air conditioning. However, as soon as summer comes to the north, you cannot live without the air conditioner. It’s like a steamer.
It’s actually still early, only nine o’clock. But there seems to be nothing to do. Ji Xi looked at the projector in the room, hesitated, then turned to ask Qiao Zhiyu, “Do you watch a movie?”
“Okay.” Qiao Zhiyu answered almost without thinking. To be honest, she didn’t want to go back, she was alone when she went back.
Ji Xi has not used the projection equipment installed in the apartment. After twos and threes, I turned off the lights in the room, which gave me the atmosphere of a small theater. It’s like that.
After Qiao Zhiyu sat down on the sofa, he raised his head and asked Ji Xi: “What movie do you want to watch?”
“I can.” Ji Xi handed the remote control to Qiao Zhiyu. Ji Xi didn’t ask for these. Apart from watching several movies with Jiang Nian, she barely watched it in private. After all, she is a person who has no entertainment life.
Qiao Zhi went to the movies more than usual to spend her time. After hearing Ji Xi’s words, she chose it herself. There is a single pile of films to choose from, and she chooses directly from the genre.
Ji Xi also sat down on the sofa. The sofa was very small, and the one that fits two people would sit shoulder to shoulder. Looking at the projection screen, she saw that Qiao Zhi had chosen a bunch of…
Thriller horror movie.
Her eyelids twitched suddenly.
Qiao Zhiyu turned his head, “Is horror film okay?”
“Do you like to watch this?” Ji Xi looked at Qiao Zhiyu beside her. The room was pitch black, and the faint blue light hit her delicate facial features, and the atmosphere came up before she even started to look at it.
“Do you want to see others?”
“No, I can do it.” Ji Xi bit her scalp.
Qiao Zhiyu first smiled and asked her: “Are you afraid? I won’t watch it if I’m afraid.”
Ji Xi’s strength is reflected in all aspects. She replied calmly and confidently: “Not afraid.”
Qiao Zhiyu said: “Then look at this.”
A zombie disaster movie, looking at the poster, it feels disgusting and crippling. Ji Xi glanced at Qiao Zhiyu, but couldn’t tell that Mr. Qiao’s taste was so heavy that it was a match for Jiang Nian.
The opening of the film is dark, and the BGM has a gloomy atmosphere. There is something moving in the picture, but it is not clear, it seems that something will appear at any time. The atmosphere is depressing.
If it weren’t for someone sitting next to him, Ji Xi would never watch this kind of film alone at home, and he would pull up the curtains and turn off the lights. This is simply an immersive experience. Ji Xi’s fear of the dark is probably a sequelae from her childhood, and she feels uncomfortable when the surrounding environment is particularly dark.
For example, now, it’s a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the movie focuses on human nature, and there are not many horror shots. Ji Xi can still accept it. Gradually, the plot is barely seen.
Just when the movie was playing for half an hour, the first climax came. The picture turned abruptly, and accompanied by the same abrupt and terrifying sound effects, a rotten and **** face directly filled the entire screen, which was shocking.
Ji Xi was unprepared and was really taken aback. She didn’t say a word, but leaned against Qiao Zhiyu’s shoulder, and grabbed Qiao Zhiyu’s arm, hiding her face, and didn’t look at the screen.
A series of actions, a moment’s matter.
Qiao Zhiyu was not surprised by the movie, but was surprised by Ji Xi’s reaction. She turned her head towards Ji Xi and asked in a low voice, “Scared?”
Even fear is serious. Qiao Zhiyu was helpless. To be afraid was to be afraid.
Next to Qiao Zhiyu, after hearing Qiao Zhiyu’s soft and soft voice, Ji Xi felt that it was okay again, feeling inexplicably safe. Even the darkness does not seem to be that annoying anymore.
Just when Ji Xi wanted to say “okay”. She heard a gentle sentence in her ears, with a little smile, coaxingly: “Okay, don’t look at this.”
