cast a peach

Chapter 39

"Sister Pear, I'm leaving!"

Zhao Guangshui hooked up his shoes, carried his schoolbag, stood at the door and turned around to smile at Tan Mingli.

"Hey, wait a minute," Tan Mingli hastily put down the small watering can for watering the roses, and came over to straighten her sweater and hat, "It's not done right here..."

She was at home today, wearing a light-colored thin sweater, and because she was watering the flowers just now, the sleeves were rolled up, revealing her white jade-like arms, with a low ponytail, lowered eyelashes, and she looked very gentle and virtuous.

Zhao Guangshui felt as if his heart had been hit lightly by a bird, and he stood stiffly on the spot, not daring to move.

Ah, so shy...

Obviously before, she and Sister Li often arranged each other's clothes like this... At that time, it was a very natural and common thing, but now that she understood her own intentions, she couldn't help but feel throbbing about it.

Tan Mingli adjusted the hat for her, looked her up and down earnestly, nodded, and showed a gentle and satisfied smile: "Okay."

He said in a warm voice with a little emotion: "Our Xiaoshui is really beautiful."

Zhao Guangshui didn't feel anything when he was called beautiful by others, but he was very ashamed when he was told by Tan Mingli. He let out an ah, and retorted in a low voice: "How can... Sister Li is beautiful..."

Then quickly changed the subject and said, "Eight o'clock tonight, sister, don't forget to come! There will be volunteers at the school gate to take you to the auditorium."

Tan Mingli also laughed when she heard the words, and said softly: "Don't worry, my sister has not forgotten."

Everything related to Xiaoshui, no matter how big or small, she kept in mind.

Tan Mingli suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Xiao Shui, what color are you wearing tonight?"

With a bit of a mocking smile, he tilted his head and joked, "Can you reveal this a little bit, Officer Xiao Shui?"

Help!The title of Officer Xiaoshui sounded good in the atmosphere last night, but it would be a shame to talk about it during the day...Zhao Guangshui's ears turned red all of a sudden, and he whispered: "Yes..."

"is white."

Zhao Guangshui was a little curious again, and asked, "Sister, why do you ask this?"

Tan Mingli bent her eyes, her eyes fluttered, and she pretended to be reserved: "Well...can you guess?"

Zhao Guangshui thought for a while, but he still couldn't figure it out, so he replied sincerely, "I don't know... I can't figure it out."

"Stupid," Tan Mingli couldn't help laughing, and nodded the girl's nose with a smile, "Are you really a female college student? Huh?"

Sometimes Xiao Shui is really strangely dull in certain aspects.

But also cute.A girl who is so clear and simple that one can see the bottom at a glance.Tan Mingli thought so softly in her heart, while smiling and stroking the girl's head:

"Hurry up, there are still classes during the day today - remember to eat well at noon! See you in the evening."

After sending Xiao Shui away for a long time, Tan Mingli still had a brisk and joyful smile on his face.She was in such a good mood that she almost wanted a drink to cheer her up, but she held back.

The good mood even lasted until she picked up a friend's phone call.

"Hello?" She tilted her head and picked up the phone, continuing to patiently water the flowers that had just been watered, "Eat? Today?"

Tan Mingli looked at his watch, it was only nine o'clock, "Yes, lunch is fine. Okay, you can send it to me when the time comes, and I will drive there."

At noon, when Tan Mingli arrived at the reserved restaurant, it was only past eleven o'clock, and it was not time for meal, so there were not too many people. She saw her good friend smiling and waving at her seat at a glance, so she also walked over with a smile on her face. .

"Why are you suddenly free?"

She put down her handbag, glanced at her friend with a smile, and joked, "Isn't our little Tang always busy?"

"Hey, don't laugh at me," Tang Yan leaned back on the sofa in a disfigured manner, and pretended to cry, "I'm exhausted from being in the company all day and pretending to be five or six people, so I finally came out to meet with friends For a moment, you still laugh at me."

Tang Yan was Tan Mingli's good friend in high school, and also the first friend Tan Mingli made after returning to China.The relationship between the two of them has always been very good, and they are still in frequent contact until now.

Most of Tan Mingli's friends live overseas, but in Jiangcheng, Tang Yan is the only real friend she has.

Tang Yan is dressed very formally today, with a white suit and maroon big waves. In the words of young people, she looks a bit like the president of Yujie.

It's a pity that one mouthful failed: "Pear! I miss you so much, come quickly and let mom hug you!"

Where did you learn these words?Like Feng Gong.Why are you still using inversions?Tan Mingli pushed away her approaching face with disgust, and said dignifiedly: "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and if you talk nonsense, you will be kicked out."

Tang Yan immediately stopped talking, straightened her clothes and sat down sternly: "Okay husband, no problem husband, listen to your husband, whatever you say is your husband."

"..."

Who is it... The more she talked about her, the more excited she became, Tan Mingli couldn't laugh or cry.

Open your mouth to say something strange.

Do people talk like this now?Or is it that she has been at home for too long and is out of touch with the times?But she never talked like that when she saw Xiao Shui.

Well, it must be Tang Yan's problem, Tan Mingli concluded.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble," Tang Yan took a sip of tea with a smile, and pushed a small box over, "Dangdangdangdang, birthday present!"

She explained: "I have to fly to Australia in two days, and I won't be able to come back for a while. Isn't this thinking that your birthday is coming soon, so I found a free time and asked you out today, just as an advance pass."

Tan Mingli smiled helplessly.

In fact, she doesn't care much about her birthday. Although she has specifically mentioned it to her friends before, asking them not to spend too much money, she still receives gifts from all over the world every year.

However, the feeling of being missed is indeed warming.Tan Mingli took it over and looked at it. It was a pair of emerald green earrings. She put the earrings away and thanked in a warm voice:

"Thank you Ayan."

"Ah, don't talk to me like that," Tang Yan pretended to cover her heart, "Su's heart can't take it, I hate it!"

"..."

After all, they were friends from high school, Tan Mingli was rarely left speechless by one person, and Tang Yan was one of the few people.She propped her forehead and smiled: "Are you okay? If you're okay, go drink some soup and medicine to recuperate."

She is not a boring person, and she sometimes plays with friends on the Internet in private.

"I thought you were going to tell me to eat plums if you have nothing to do."

People who are usually gentle and dignified make jokes that are particularly contrasting. Tang Yan was overjoyed and laughed for a long time, then lowered her voice and raised her eyebrows mysteriously at her: "Hey, pear, tell me, What's going on recently? Do you have a new partner?"

The two of them are too familiar with each other's recent situation, so it's not considered offensive to ask about personal matters, it's just out of concern among friends.

Tan Mingli was taken aback when he heard the words, and was a little confused by the winking of his friend:

"Huh? What a good thing? Why don't I know?"

"Hey, don't lie to me!"

Tang Yan slapped her thigh, "Look at your complexion, this expression, this state, it's as sweet as if you picked it out of a honey pot. I don't believe you when you say you're not talking now."

She has seen with her own eyes how Tan Mingli grows from a gentle and charming girl to the outstanding woman she is today, so she is very familiar with Tan Mingli.

Seeing the tenderness on the brows and the corners of his good friend's eyes, he has obviously come out of the shadow of divorce at the beginning of this year - he even looks much happier than when he was in love with Shen Qingzhou back then. Instead of guessing, I am also sincerely happy for her while being curious.

"...No way," Tan Mingli felt a little embarrassed now, raised the back of her hand and rubbed her face, and said softly, "Isn't it still the same face? Don't laugh at me."

"Also, I haven't been in a relationship yet, how did you know that I did?" She only thought Tang Yan was still joking with her, and didn't take it to heart, she just smiled lightly.

"Eh, is it?"

Tang Yan was also surprised. She knew that Tan Mingli was an upright person and would never lie, "This is so strange... You clearly watched..."

She looked at Tan Mingli's face carefully, and it took her a long time to find a satisfactory adjective:

"How should I put it, tsk, it's lively and fragrant."

I always feel...Mingli's temperament has changed a bit.

Although the former Tan Mingli was also beautiful and temperamental, there was always a vague alienation under her gentleness, and she seemed to have something hidden in her heart all the time, and she couldn't blend in with the world around her.

Sitting there, she looked like such a gentle and beautiful person, with a smile, nodding to everyone, her demeanor was impeccable, everyone who saw her couldn't help but be impressed by the demeanor of the Tan family daughter, but When she inadvertently lowered her eyes, she would show a little careless coldness and a touch of indifference.

She doesn't care about money, fame, the power and high position that everyone craves, and she doesn't even seem to care much about herself.

Tan Mingli is good-looking, she knows it.

But when Tan Mingli came into the restaurant just now, she stretched her eyes and smiled softly. Not only did she not lose her brilliance because of the divorce, but she was even more radiant than before. .

It's like——the woman who bullied Shuang Saixue like a thin plum has finally given birth to roots in the world, has a home and land of her own, and grows full rhyme and fresh meaning from her soul.

Tan Mingli didn't take it seriously, she just felt that Tang Yan hadn't seen her for a long time, or she had the stereotype that women must be haggard after divorce, so she responded gently: "Is that so?"

"In the past few years, I have no plans to fall in love again. Don't think about it." She smiled and took a sip of tea and said.

"Hey, that's a pity, my sister has a lot of WeChat accounts of handsome guys here." Tang Yan shook her head and sighed, pretending to regret.

Tan Mingli was amused by her, "It's not a pity, you can keep it for yourself, I don't need your husband."

"Actually... it is indeed a good thing."

After drinking a cup of tea, laughing and laughing, Tan Mingli softened his expression quietly, lowered his eyes to see the needle-like leaves in the teacup undulating up and down, and softly said:

"Recently, I lived with a young child."

"she's fine."

Her expression is softer than clouds.

"I love so much."
