cast a peach

Chapter 13 Wine

Tan Mingli was in a daze which was rare, she took the flower handed to her by the girl and gently sniffed it.

It is a fiery red, tender, delicate rose.

There are even a few drops of dew on the leaves.

"Today is... Tanabata?"

Tan Mingli recalled that she was not used to looking at the lunar calendar, and was not very impressed with traditional festivals other than the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, and always forgot them.

It seems that recently.No wonder the way back was so lively and there were so many couples.

"Yes," Zhao Guangshui was obviously a little embarrassed, lowered his eyes and pinched the hem of his clothes, "I..."

"I just want, um..." She took a breath, and said the words that she had thought about a long time ago:

"Others have flowers, so sister Li should have them too."

It sounds childish to say it, but that's what she really thinks.

I want Sister Li to be happy, I don’t want her to be sad, I don’t want her to think of those unhappy things, and feel sad today.

Tan Mingli was startled for a moment, and then smiled softly and helplessly, but his eyes were full of warmth.

Xiaoshui...

In fact, she doesn't care about these festivals, nor is she a person who is easily sentimental about time and autumn, but she is really moved by Xiao Shui's heart.

Xiao Shui seemed to have calmed down the boredom of talking with Zhao Zhihua this afternoon. She looked at the girl in front of her and sighed slightly in her heart.

Fate did not treat Xiaoshui well, but fortunately Xiaoshui was not bewitched by other things, and grew into such an excellent, lovely, sincere and soft girl.

Xiaoshui is a caring person, and she is not really ruthless, of course she does not want to let down this sincere and pure heart.

Tan Mingli glanced at the girl with a smile, raised her hand and brushed her long hair behind her ears, pinned the rose on her chest gently and deftly, and said in a warm voice, "Thank you, Xiao Shui."

"I love so much."

She wants to cherish it.

Tan Mingli wore a very soft French white shirt today, put on a little makeup, her lips were rosy, and she looked bright, just standing there seemed to have a soft, upright and elegant look.She has a good temperament and a gentle and calm expression. Not only does the rose on her chest not look gaudy, but it complements each other perfectly, which perfectly complements her good color.

Zhao Guangshui looked a little dazed, and his ears were quietly stained with a thin layer of red.

Sister Li is really beautiful.

She sighed quietly in her heart.

Only the true national color of peony can move the capital when the flowers bloom.

"It's a pity that I didn't buy you flowers..." Tan Mingli took out a box of small cakes while talking, and handed it to her with a tilted head, with a soft and gentle tone: "I can use cakes instead today, is that okay?"

Zhao Guangshui let out a wow in surprise. He didn't expect Tan Mingli to bring something to him. He happily took the cake box and thanked him with bright eyes: "Thank you, Sister Li."

She has always preferred sweet things.But the family is strictly controlled, afraid that she will break her teeth, so she basically won't buy snacks for her.When she was young and ignorant, she would act like a baby and ask her grandpa to buy candy for herself. Later, when she was a little older, she was taught to restrain her selfish desires, so she stopped asking for it. After a long time, she got used to not eating snacks.

But maybe habit is no match for nature, she still likes sweets after all.

Tan Mingli kept looking at her with a smile on her face. Seeing her so happy, she couldn't help feeling a brisk joy welling up from the bottom of her heart.She reached out and ordered some cake boxes, and asked in a gentle voice, "Do you like sweets?"

Zhao Guangshui nodded obediently: "I like it."

I was very embarrassed again: "Well... I am, I am more like a child..."

Tan Mingli couldn't help laughing, bent down and touched her head, trying to tease her a little: "Well, is that right? I didn't know there was such a saying."

"Then Xiao Shui, tell my sister, what is an adult's taste?"

Tan Mingli had a gentle and dignified face, and his speech was very serious and convincing. Zhao Guangshui didn't realize that she was teasing him for a while, so he thought about it seriously, and replied: "Maybe it's... more drinkable." Liquor?"

The adults would drink a little white wine at family dinners. She was very lively when she was a child. Out of curiosity, she once secretly dipped chopsticks into the white wine in the wine cup and tasted a little bit of it. She was so hot that she burst into tears. She still has a deep impression on her.

She wanted to ask Sister Li for her opinion, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she met Tan Mingli's uncontrollable smile, and suddenly understood, her cheeks were burning hot and she groaned: "Sister Li, why are you teasing me again?"

Tan Mingli hadn't been teased so happily for a long time. She bent over to cover her face with the back of her hand, and said with all her might:

"No, I think our little water is cute like this."

The more she explained Zhao Guangshui, the hotter his face became. Zhao Guangshui was already thin-skinned, and he liked her so much, so he was more likely to be ashamed: "Sister..."

This elder sister's cry was so sweet, Tan Mingli couldn't help but her heart pounded, and she turned her head slightly to stare at the girl's face.

Zhao Guangshui couldn't stand being watched by her, so he blushed and pushed Tan Mingli to wash up so that he could eat quickly.

Tan Mingli took off her make-up and came out, took out a slender empty vase, filled it with some water, carefully inserted the rose that Xiaoshui gave her, put it in the middle of the dining table and put it away.

On the table were two bowls of hot porridge and side dishes, the lights were warm, and the girl was obediently waiting for her.

Such a sweet scene.

Tan Mingli suppressed the faint trance in her heart, it had been a long time since...the experience of having someone at home waiting for her to have dinner with her.With bright eyes, she nodded and smiled at Zhao Guangshui tenderly, and said softly, "Thank you, Xiaoshui."

When we got married before, she was often the one waiting for someone, not someone waiting for her.Shen Qingzhou is busy with work, and sometimes he comes home very late, Tan Mingli will keep the rice warm in the incubator, and wait for him to come home while reading.Shen Qingzhou felt sorry for her hard work, so he told her not to wait any longer and just eat by herself.

The daily relationship between her and her husband is actually very gentle. Compared with the heartbeat in life, she feels more warm and appropriate.

But speaking of it, she was different from ordinary wives, and she didn't stay for dinner out of wanting to wait for her husband to be with her.Tan Mingli has a little western independence in his bones, and always feels that there should be personal space between relatives, let alone lovers.

But for people like Tan Mingli, no matter what life concepts and considerations they have in mind, things will always be done properly and beautifully.

She just waited for joy purely for one person in order to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife and family member, which she had never experienced before.

Xiao Shui... Did you wait for her all afternoon today?

The girl wore a simple white T-shirt and denim shorts today, her eyes were clear, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her slender neck and arms were exposed, making her look extraordinarily youthful.For a moment, she couldn't tell who was more beautiful, Xiao Shui or the rose on the table.

Tan Mingli's heart was soft, and there was a touch of waves like water.

Suddenly, I really want to hug Xiao Shui.

Xiao Shui always seems to be able to bring her a different experience.

She got up and took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, poured herself a glass, poured some water, and pushed it over with a smile.

Zhao Guangshui blinked, a little confused: "Sister, do you want to drink?"

Tan Mingli shook his head with a smile, and said softly, "It's just that the atmosphere is good tonight, and I think it's too much to have no wine. What does Xiao Shui think?"

She loves to drink, but she is very modest, and she is not a drinker.The wine is also very good, I usually only drink a little when I am in a good mood.

Zhao Guangshui also smiled. She likes the relaxed and comfortable sister Li in front of her, and also likes the relaxed and warm atmosphere now.She glanced at the porridge and side dishes on the table, picked up the wine glass and touched her own bowl, and joked: "Porridge and side dishes with red wine, I think this is very elegant."

Xiao Shui's earnest way of joking is really cute, and Tan Mingli couldn't help laughing, and then turned slightly serious, shaking his head and saying:

"wrong."

"Rose, red wine," she gently shook the glass with a gentle smile, her eyes fell on the girl opposite, "and the beautiful girl."

"It's a good match."

she said softly.

Zhao Guangshui was teased unexpectedly, unable to speak at all.She was still very young, and had never heard such personable and gentle compliments on her appearance. She blushed for a moment and took a sip of wine to cover up.

Ah, my ears are so hot.

This is too foul...how could it be so? Woohoo, she really seems to never be able to keep up with Sister Li's rank.

Sister Li really should be a diplomat...

"What do you think, can you get used to drinking?"

Tan Mingli looked at the girl who was still struggling secretly with a smile, and said in a gentle voice, "This wine is not high in alcohol content, it is very comfortable to drink, and it is also very friendly to people who have never drunk alcohol."

"I..." Zhao Guangshui was so shy just now, he didn't remember to taste the wine at all, and his face turned red all of a sudden: "I didn't taste it."

Like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, he drank it whole.

Tan Mingli smiled and signaled her not to be nervous: "It's okay, you can drink a little more."

She refilled Zhao Guangshui, and said, "But don't drink too much, the stamina is a bit strong."

Zhao Guangshui looked at her skillful posture when pouring wine, blinked and asked, "Sister Li, do you like drinking?"

She really wanted to ask before, she had seen Tan Mingli drink plum wine several times at night, although not much each time, but she could tell that Sister Li liked wine.

"It's okay." Tan Mingli thought about it for a while, and responded warmly.

Zhao Guangshui nodded seriously, and silently wrote it down in his heart.Sister Li said it was okay, which meant that she liked it, and she had already discovered it.

"When I'm in a good mood, I drink a little."

Tan Mingli took a sip of the wine and said with a smile: "But I'm not addicted, and I don't pay much attention to those rules, just trying to have fun."

She has a gentle expression, a rare relaxed posture, and a slender and delicate collarbone exposed under the silky white shirt. Zhao Guangshui was fascinated by it for a while, and only felt that she was calm and open, and she was speaking rationally about her ideas slowly. And charming.

It's exciting.

The heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Really like……

The girl bit her lip, and a thin layer of water glistened in her eyes.

Sister Pear.

Did you drink too much just now, or is your stamina already on the rise?Otherwise, why would she feel a kind of intoxicating drunkenness from the bottom of her heart?
