taste of honey

Chapter 74

When it was over, Jiang Yi loosened her hands around Duan Qingxu's neck, limp on the bed, curled up her toes unconsciously.

Duan Qingxu stripped the hair scattered on her forehead for her, but this girl grabbed her hand and kissed her.

"Are you going to go on a business trip again?" Jiang Yi asked weakly, her body turned sideways, her breath unsteady.

"Look at the arrangement." Duan Qingxu said in a low voice, helping to tighten the quilt. It was really cold without the air conditioner, and the chill immediately stuck to the skin with his arms exposed outside. Relatively sporadic."

The winter vacation lasts for about a month. During the Chinese New Year, seven days of vacation are given off, and two or three days are left to prepare for the start of school. A week has passed for the remaining twenty or so days. Next, Duan Dongcheng should not arrange time-consuming tasks such as business trips.

Jiang Yi held her hand and didn't let go. Remembering that Xiaonian was approaching, she asked, "Xiaonian the day after tomorrow, what will your family do?"

Duan Qingxu tilted his head, "Prepare new year's goods and have a casual meal."

Jiang Yi raised her eyebrows, it seemed that all families were similar, then she thought of Chen Yuqiu and said, "Maybe we will spend together, Uncle Chen will always call you during the holidays."

That's true, all the old people in the Chen family have gone abroad to the countryside or other places to enjoy their leisure time, and the Duan's house next door is cold, so the two families will spend some important festivals together, which is more lively.

Duan Qingxu picked her up and didn't speak again.

Jiang Yi shrank her hands under the quilt, moved her shoulders, then looked up at the man clearly, and pulled up the quilt after a while.

The room was very quiet, the soft white lights were a little swaying, the silent night was dense, the sky was full of stars, the moon formed an arc, hidden behind the clouds.

After a while, the lights went off and everything was lost in darkness.

The next day was still cloudy, and the cold wind made people shake the sieve. In such a cold weather, the number of tourists on Xijiang Road increased instead of decreasing. After seven o'clock in the morning, all the shops on both sides of the street opened their doors. Completely receded, the sky was a little gloomy.

The dim street lights were still on, dyeing the street and the thick fog yellowish. At this moment, the street was not too noisy, and people walked by from time to time, so it was quite clean.

The light in the bathroom was turned on, it was warm inside, and the foggy white heat permeated the air. Duan Qingxu leaned on the wall with one hand behind her back, the white steam lingered and enveloped the upper part, the light was really dazzling, and her vision began to be a little blurry. not sure.

The sky outside became brighter, and in just a few minutes, the gloom dissipated, replaced by the white light in the sky, and the street lights were turned off all of a sudden, and the streets became alive all day long, as if suddenly injected with vitality, filled with Morning vigor.

Near noon, Jiang Yi took Duan Qingxu out to eat, and ate casually along the street. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Duan Qingxu sent her back to the old house to clean up. Afterwards, in order not to make Zheng Yun and the others suspect, the two separated , One after the other, they went back to Jinming Mansion.

Jiang Yi went back first.The end of the new year is approaching, and there are many things in the company. The couple have no vacation at all, and only the aunt who cooks at home is there. In a few days, these people will also go back to prepare for the New Year.

Maybe it was a good start to the day, she was in a good mood all day, first went to the room on the second floor to tidy up, and then went downstairs to help cook.

After six o'clock, Zheng Yun called to ask if she was home.

"I'm here early, I'm helping with the cooking." Jiang Yi said, a little bit of a good-looking, "Mom, I'll make you some chicken soup, when are you coming back?"

Zheng Yun couldn't help smiling, and said, "I'm on my way, thinking that if you don't leave, I'll go to Hongxing to pick you up."

Jiang Yi responded, the soup in the pot had just boiled, she hung up the phone after a few words.

When the meal was almost ready, the couple were arriving at the door of the house. Jiang Yi came out wearing an apron and greeted her twice.

Tonight, the aunts had dinner with the family of three, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious. Jiang Yi wanted to visit Jiang Ning tomorrow, but Zheng Yun refused, saying: "He is very busy with making up lessons, and you won't be able to stay long if you go. A waste of time."

In the third year of senior high school, the study pressure doubled, and there were endless classes and papers every day, and Jiang Ning and his class recently collected all mobile phones. Except for Sunday nights, the head teacher took care of them for the rest of the time. Discipline was very strict.

Jiang Yi nodded and served soup for the couple.

"It's been cooking for a long time. How about the taste?"

Chen Yuqiu naturally agreed, Zheng Yun had nothing to say, and the couple exchanged glances with each other.

After the meal was cleaned up by the aunts, the three of them sat on the sofa and watched TV boredly. During the period, Zheng Yun went to wash a plate of fruit, cut it up and brought it over, and asked Jiang Yi meaningfully: "Where have you been crazy these two days? "

Jiang Yi didn't care, took half of an orange, and replied while eating: "I didn't go anywhere."

Zheng Yun naturally didn't believe it, and said, "Didn't you go out with your classmates?"

On Friday, Jiang Yi said on the phone that she was going to play, but she didn't say who and where she was going with. The couple defaulted to looking for a partner, so they didn't stop them, and instead paid 2000 yuan for expenses.

Asking this question suddenly, Jiang Yi was immediately alert and reacted quickly. After a turn in her mind, she replied: "I went out, but I just wandered around the city."

Zheng Yun glanced at Chen Yuqiu with a clear face, and said, "Let me just say, the company sent out new year's goods yesterday, and there were a lot of melons and fruits you like to eat. I passed by Hongxing at noon and wanted to give you some, but you were not there. .”

That being said, it means a lot more.

Jiang Yi felt guilty, thinking that it was a good thing she didn't bring Duan Qingxu there, otherwise she would reveal her secrets.Zheng Yun definitely didn't go there specifically to catch her, he mainly wanted to give snacks along the way, but he must have other intentions.

She chewed the orange in her mouth, and prevaricated: "I went out to play in the afternoon, and I went back very late."

Hearing this, Chen Yuqiu on the side couldn't hold back his laughter, shook his head, and said to Zheng Yun: "Okay, okay, it's such a big deal, we have to get to the bottom of it."

Zheng Yun sat down next to him and looked at it complainingly, but did not continue to ask.

Jiang Yi was flustered and didn't dare to say a word.

The couple looked like this, and she could more or less guess why - she suspected that she had gone out for a tryst, and she was just talking cliche.After hanging up the phone before, she wondered why Zheng Yun suddenly called 2000 yuan. It turned out that it was for this, but she didn't dare to say more. Now the excuse is a disguised admission.

But even though she kept her mouth shut and pretended not to understand, before going upstairs, Zheng Yun couldn't hold back, and asked quietly: "Tell me the truth, are you talking about friends?"

Jiang Yi was taken aback for a moment, but she remained calm, and replied: "What, don't think about it."

"How long has it been? Do you really think you and I can't tell, Uncle Chen?" Zheng Yun said confidently, and put away the fruit plate, "Anyway, it's all your personal business, we as parents don't want to ask too much, you Uncle Chen I always say don’t put pressure on you, whoever you talk to that we won’t intervene, and you didn’t say no, everything is up to you.”

Jiang Yi didn't speak. Zheng Yun, a mother, knew her very well. She said a few words in a light and firm tone, and it was useless to refute.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zheng Yun said again: "We are not old-fashioned. It doesn't matter if the other party has money or not. As long as his character is good, he can treat you well. If it feels right, we can have a good talk. When it is confirmed, we can bring Come back and see."

Having said so much, the meaning in the words is still to know who the other party is, to understand.

However, how could Jiang Yi say it clearly, and said: "No, you think so much, if I promise to bring you the first one, I will show you.

Zheng Yun didn't talk much, he took the fruit plate to the kitchen, and before he left, he muttered: "Not honest, not a word of truth."

Chen Yuqiu just sat on the sofa laughing, picked up the teacup and took two sips.

No matter what Jiang Yi said, it was a certainty with Zheng Yun, so there was no need to run away.

She has raised her daughter for 20 years, she knows it better than anyone else, Jiang Yi is very stubborn, she won't admit it unless she catches it, Zheng Yun doesn't have the time to do these things, just tell her to be careful.

Zheng Yun still remembers wearing other people's clothes and marks under the collarbone last time, but he didn't say clearly, to save face for this girl to avoid embarrassment.

Young people are always inappropriate.

Jiang Yi was silent and went upstairs silently.

Zheng Yun said a lot of things, although every sentence expressed that he would not care too much, but he still wanted to know the specific situation. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to ask and find out how the other party was doing, but Jiang Yi couldn't tell her , if you really say that your partner is in the next door, it will be a disaster.

This kind of time is really embarrassing, I can only fool the past.

……

The next day, Xiaonian, as expected, Chen Yuqiu invited the three of Duan's family over for dinner, and Jiang Ning was brought back to stay for the night.

The two families sat at the same table, which was rich and lively. Uncle Qi kept smiling and asked Jiang Yi to be next to him, who happened to be next to Duan Qingxu.

"I'm going back to my hometown in two days." He said cheerfully, "I'll come back after the new year. It will take a while to see you."

Jiang Yi asked: "Aren't you celebrating the New Year here?"

Uncle Qi shook his head: "I called several times over there, so I must go back this year."

These years have been spent in Duan's house. Now that he is old, he won't be able to go back a few times in the future, or if he has some kind of illness, whether he can walk or not is a problem. He can take it easy and walk more while he can still move.

Chen Yuqiu who was on the opposite side said, "Do you want Lao Duan and Qing Xu to go with you?"

Uncle Qi replied: "Dong Cheng is going, Qing Xu will stay."

Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking for a moment that she had heard wrongly, it was not Duan Qingxu who left, she subconsciously looked at Duan Dongcheng, wondering why such an arrangement was made.

Chen Yuqiu was also puzzled: "Liu Qingxu is alone, why don't we go together?"

"Let her rest at home. Dongcheng just sent me there and will be back in two days."

So that's the case.

"Then Qing Xu will come over for dinner then." Chen Yuqiu said, "It's about extra chopsticks."

The speaker had no intention of listening, Jiang Yi looked down at the table, and kicked Duan Qingxu lightly.

Duan Qingxu didn't respond, and replied: "Thank you, Uncle Chen."

The two families sat around a table, and the night of the New Year's Eve was extremely lively. After dinner, Chen Yuqiu refused to let Duan Dongcheng go, and insisted on holding him for another drink, while Uncle Qi watched from the side.

Jiang Yi sat watching TV, and after a while, she listened to Zheng Yun's words and went to bring some food and drinks over, then peeled another orange, split half of it and secretly stuffed it for Duan Qingxu.

The elders were all sitting at the dining table, and there were only the two of them on the side of the sofa. Jiang Yi moved closer to each other, and glanced behind her. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, she boldly held onto the sofa under the cover of the sofa. Touched Duan Qingxu's little finger.
