taste of honey

Chapter 18

The Duan family and the Zhou family have been in business for many years. The brothers and sisters of the Zhou family and Duan Qingxu grew up together. They must have a deep friendship. What's more, Zhou Qishen has helped her a lot these years, and he still owes her a favor.Duan Qingxu moved her lips, seeming to think so, but she swallowed the words anyway, she doesn't like to talk, but she can understand the meaning of people's words.

Jiang Yi understood, but pretended not to understand, and walked up to this person to block his way.

The knock on the door rang again, Zhou Baizhi was still waiting.

"I asked you something, why didn't you answer?" She leaned up and said in a low voice, grabbed Duan Qingxu's hand, and made it clear that she would not let the door open.

Duan Qingxu was supposed to break free from the restraint, but he didn't know if he was afraid of someone outside or something, but he let her grab him without any reaction.Jiang Yi was a little angry, thinking it was because she was afraid that Zhou Baizhi would find out, so she clasped her knuckles tightly, and rubbed her fingertips on the tiger's mouth.

She rubbed it lightly or heavily on purpose, ambiguously, and took off her slippers, and stepped on Duan Qingxu's instep.Her feet are naturally smaller than the other's, white and smooth, with round toes and hot, while Duan Qingxu's insteps are slightly cool.

Raising his head, he looked at the ice lump in front of him with a slightly flamboyant look. Due to the proximity, the sweetness of the orange juice in his mouth was all on Duan Qingxu's thin lips, but he didn't do anything, just slightly raised his head and looked at the other person, with the expression in his eyes With a little stubbornness.

Duan Qingxu's expression moved slightly, and he wanted to push her away, but before he could move, Zhou Baizhi outside shouted, "Qingxu?"

He should have known she was inside, otherwise he would have left when he knocked for the second time without getting a response.

that's the truth.Outside the door, Zhou Baizhi's face was cold and ugly, and he put his hand on the doorknob, holding back.

There were slight noises in the room, she heard them all, everyone was in the back garden, only Duan Qingxu and Jiang Yi were not there, the room behind them was open, and it was empty, it was obvious where the people who were supposed to be inside were right now.

There are some things that the group of careless men can't see, but she can see it. The first time may be an illusion, but the second time is definitely not. There are so many special places that can be detected with a little sensitivity.

She just stood at the door, waiting for Duan Qingxu to open the door.

Can not wait for a long time.

There was another slight sound from inside, rustling.Zhou Baizhi squeezed her lips tightly with almost all her strength, trying to keep calm.

After waiting for two or three minutes, she finally walked away, her face was abnormally pale and her expression was very cold.

Jiang Yi didn't open the door until a long time after she left. She was barefoot and didn't even need slippers.

In the room, Duan Qingxu stooped to pick up a page of documents left at the foot of the bed, and when he saw the slippers randomly thrown by the bed, he straightened them up.

……

Others were grilling in the back garden, and the second generation had their own small groups, and they would hang out in twos and threes, chatting politely with people outside the small group from time to time.

For Chen Yuqiu's face, some people would also come to strike up a conversation with Jiang Ning, but such people are rare. Those who can come here today, their families are not short of money, no worse than the Chen family.Du Yuan and Qin Yu took good care of Jiang Ning, and would take him with them in everything they did. Jiang Ning was also stubborn and would not take the initiative to curry favor with those people, but when they came to talk to them, he would say something politely.

The little boy is polite and unscheming, and knows how to deal with others. Zheng Yun taught the siblings very well.

For the barbecue tonight, the ingredients are very well prepared. There are all kinds of ingredients. Jiang Ning baked a plate for her sister, all of which Jiang Yi likes to eat.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he wanted to call Jiang Yi to go downstairs, but as soon as he looked up, Jiang Yi appeared, changing into a casual dark green jumpsuit.

Jiang Ning hurriedly beckoned.

"Sister, are you feeling better?" He asked with concern, and brought the baked things over.

Jiang Yi poured herself a cup of tea to relieve her boredom, and nodded: "It's nothing, it's much better."

"I just wanted to call you." Jiang Ning touched the tip of his nose, "Taste how you like it, I just baked it."

Jiang Yi picked up the grilled shrimp, peeled it off and ate it, and praised: "Not bad, the taste is right."

As he spoke, he peeled a shrimp and fed him by the way.Jiang Ning ate it and said, "It seems a bit salty."

Jiang Yi poured tea for him. Just as he was filling it, she suddenly felt someone's eyes watching her. She looked by feeling, but she couldn't find anyone.She lowered her eyes and put the tea in front of Jiang Ning, just at that moment Du Yuan and Qin Yu came over, carrying a bunch of ingredients in their hands.

"Jiang Jiang, do me a favor, move the table out." Du Yuan shouted from a long distance away.

This voice directly attracted the attention of other people. Jiang Yi hurriedly vacated half of the table. Du Yuan put down the ingredients, ate the baked food, handed the skewers to Qin Yu, and asked while sitting down: " Aning said that you are not feeling well, are you feeling better now?"

He was sitting in Jiang Yi's original seat, Jiang Yi had no choice but to sit on the other side, and replied: "It's just motion sickness, nothing happened."

"If I had known you were motion sick, I would have driven slower." Du Yuan said, with an apologetic expression on his face.

Jiang Yi had nothing to say, just smiled.

Qin Yu took a sip of water, looked around, and asked, "Where's Qing Xu, did you come down with you?"

Jiang Yi wondered why she came down with her.

"Up there, there's still something to do," she said.

Qin Yu nodded.

"Over there, come down." Du Yuan raised his hand, "Qing Xu, come and sit here."

Jiang Yi followed her gaze and saw that Duan Qingxu just came out, still dressed like that, but with one button of his white shirt buttoned up, looking more serious and deserted.

Duan Qingxu sat down in the empty seat next to her, Qin Yu threw a can of ice coke, she took it steadily, and opened the can with one hand.

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, imitating the example, squeezed the body of the can with four fingers, and pulled the ring with his index finger, but it couldn't be opened, so he finally used two hands.

"Open one for me." Jiang Yi joined in the fun, and also put a can of iced Coke in front of her, used to order people around.

Duan Qingxu followed suit.

When she handed the Coke to Jiang Yi with her own hands, Zhou Baizhi, who was not far away, looked cold for an instant, her eyes darkened, and she didn't even say a word.After being called out twice by others, she regained her senses.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Qishen asked.

Zhou Baizhi was distracted almost all night, not knowing where her mind was wandering.She collected herself and whispered: "No, the wind is strong, and it's a little uncomfortable to blow."

Her face didn't look like she was sick, but Zhou Qishen didn't say anything, and told her, "If you're really uncomfortable, go back to your room and rest early."

Zhou Baizhi glanced ahead, and replied: "It's okay."

Turning to the person chatting together, he said cordially: "Go and eat something, let's have fun together."

In the past, a group of people were standing far away, but now seeing Duan Qingxu come down, they all followed her words, calling everyone over, and went over to have a barbecue together.

The five people sat still, and none of them greeted them.For these second generations, there is very little real friendship between them, and everyone gathers together just for socializing, otherwise, according to the temperament of this group of people who are above the top, how can they honestly come to the villa to stay for four or five days.In fact, few people present were willing to come, including Duan Qingxu. Everyone was pressured by their families, just like visiting relatives during the holidays. They didn't want to go, but they had to.

There were no seats around Duan Qingxu, Zhou Baizhi sat diagonally across from the others.

The second generation chatted with each other and made a lot of noise.Jiang Yi couldn't get in the conversation, she drank coke and ate quietly. Jiang Ning roasted two king crab legs for her, trying not to add any condiments to keep the original taste, slightly sweet and delicious.

She had a light taste, and after eating, she opened a bottle of soda to reward her younger brother, and Jiang Ning brought over a plate of crab legs.

Duan Qingxu lowered his eyes halfway, and looked at the plate containing crab legs.Occasionally, when someone strikes up a conversation, her attitude is neither salty nor dull, and her whole person reveals a feeling of being difficult to get along with.

Jiang Yi peeled off a piece of fat crab leg meat, and pushed her elbow to the side, "Do you want to eat it?"

Duan Qing paused, and was about to speak when Zhou Baizhi, who was diagonally opposite, said first, "Did Miss Jiang live in the south of the city?"

The south of the city, the old city, is currently the area with the worst economic development among the main urban areas of City A.Before Zheng Yun married Chen Yuqiu, the family of three lived in an old residential building in the south of the city, with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one toilet, no separate balcony, and no elevator. The wealth of Jinming Mansion is very different.

This question is very meaningful.Jiang Yi didn't respond, her expression didn't change a bit, but Jiang Ning was stunned, and glanced at the expressions of everyone present.

"That's right." Jiang Yi replied simply, putting down the crab leg meat.

"I heard that Aunt Zheng worked in Uncle Chen's branch before. The branch seems to be in the south of the city. Is it close to where you live?" Zhou Baizhi asked in a calm and natural tone, without the slightest bit of malice.

Most people can't hear what's wrong with this statement, after all, it's the truth.

Zhou Qishen frowned, looked at Zhou Baizhi disapprovingly, and signaled her to stop talking.Zhou Baizhi looked at Duan Qingxu with a blank face.

Jiang Yi took out a tissue to wipe her hands, and said with a blank expression: "Come on, why, Miss Zhou wants to visit tomorrow? Our area has recently been listed as an old building protection area, and we are developing tourist attractions. It will not be officially opened until It’s been a year, but I can take you if you really want to go, I’m familiar with the old town.”

Zhou Baizhi smiled and said, "I don't have much time recently."

"It's okay, I'm free anytime, any day." Jiang Yi said, raising her eyelids and looking at him.Her temper has never been mild, and she will choke on anyone who is yin and yang. She doesn't like emptiness and obedience the most. It is unnecessary and unnecessary.Zheng Yun married Chen Yuqiu, and no one in the Chen family dared to say anything, so they never got an outsider's beak.

The smell of gunpowder in the words was very strong, and everyone could hear something was wrong.

Zhou Qishen hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "I went there two days ago, the environment in the south of the city is good, and the greening is better than the east and west of the city."

Du Yuan brought a plate of barbecue with a wink, and greeted everyone to eat, and changed the topic with two or three sentences.Fortunately, Zhou Baizhi didn't continue talking, and Jiang Yi wasn't the one who insisted on letting her go. She didn't bother to argue with her. After sitting for a while, she got up and went to the grill to stay.

The lights in the back garden were already on, and it was bright everywhere.

A group of people laughed and made noise, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.As soon as Jiang Yi left, Jiang Ning followed. There were two people missing, and the rest of them acted as if they hadn't seen them. They should eat and drink without any delay.

Zhou Baizhi felt that she was a little impulsive just now, but she regretted it in her heart, but she couldn't hold back her face, so she put on airs and ignored it, chatting with the people next to her from time to time.She looked diagonally across from the corner of her eye, Duan Qingxu's expression was indifferent, a little gloomy, her heart tightened immediately, and she pursed her lips.

There was a sudden sound on the table, not loud, but the movement seemed heavy. Duan Qingxu put a can of Coke he hadn't drunk on the corner of the table, stood up and left.

The rest were silent, like quails.

Jiang Yi had a good night. Although she had a quarrel with others, she ate a lot of delicious food to calm down.She didn't take this matter to heart, seeing Duan Qingxu coming over and standing aside, she kicked him lightly restlessly.

"Do you want to eat?" She shook the peeled crab leg meat in her hand and handed it to the other party's mouth.

Duan Qingxu opened his mouth to eat.She was very satisfied, and then ate her own.

The next day, the weather was fine and the temperature of the sun was suitable. Last night, we played until three or four in the morning. The group hardly got up in the morning, and used it to catch up on sleep in the afternoon.Du Yuan proposed to hold a swimming party in the back garden at night, and everyone agrees.

When it was getting dark, there were only two people left on the third floor, Duan Qingxu went to the opposite side to deliver slippers, the door was not closed, so he could just push it open and go in.

The room was dark with the lights off, the bathroom light was on, and Jiang Yi was inside.

Duan Qingxu closed the door smoothly, turned around, saw the person at the intersection of light and darkness, and froze for a moment. The dark brown bikini was set against the orange light. At first glance, it is easy to cause visual errors.

She immediately turned her eyes away in a gentlemanly manner, put down her things, and said in a deep voice, "Slippers, put them behind the door."

Jiang Yi walked over slowly, hummed, and kept fiddling with her hands behind her back. She raised her head, and because she couldn't untie it, she had no choice but to ask for help: "My hair is stuck in my breasts, please help me untie it."

Duan Qingxu didn't say a word, and bent his slender knuckles.

Jiang Yijinjiao didn't wait for her to respond, and went directly to her.

The soft body is in the arms, warm, and the faint aroma of bergamot spreads presumptuously along the breath.
