Chapter 24 The Heavy Rain Is Coming

Just as he was thinking, there was another patter of rain outside the window.

There has been a lot of rain recently, and the weather seems to be cooler earlier than usual.

Tan Mingli closed the window and checked the time. Xiaoshui should be back soon.The red bean porridge was boiling in the pot, and she cooked it according to the time. The small water should be at the right temperature when it gets home.

The sky was overcast with clouds, the trees downstairs were swaying, and the wind was beating against the windows, and the whistling and whistling of the wind could be heard.

It looks like it's going to rain heavily.

Why did the rain come so suddenly?Tan Mingli frowned slightly, a little worried in his heart, and began to regret that he didn't drive to pick Xiaoshui home today.

She looked at the gate of the community and called Xiaoshui.

"Hey?"

The phone rang several times before it was picked up. Tan Mingli glanced at the paper that was blown up by the wind and flew into the sky outside the window, and tried to calm down her anxiety, and asked, "Xiao Shui, where are you now?"

"Still outside," Xiaoshui's voice was a bit noisy, Tan Mingli listened attentively, "Don't worry, sister, I'll be right back."

After hanging up the phone, Tan Mingli went to serve the porridge to dry, checked the power supply and the windows, and walked around the living room a few times, when he heard the door open, he hurried over.

"Sister Pear."

Zhao Guangshui stood at the door with his schoolbag on his back, almost drenched all over, only his eyes were still clear, and smiled at her with a guilty conscience.

The hair was still dripping.

How could it be like this... He was obviously carrying an umbrella.

Tan Mingli was stunned, suddenly feeling distressed for no reason.She suppressed her emotions and didn't say much. She just raised her hand to smooth the girl's broken hair, stroked the girl's shoulder and said softly, "Go and take a bath."

Zhao Guangshui was also stunned for a while, unexpectedly, Sister Li didn't even ask her why she was drenched like this.

Is sister pear angry?

She quietly looked at Tan Mingli's expression, but she couldn't tell the depth.She was a little flustered in her heart, but she responded obediently: "Okay."

After hastily washing and drying his hair, Zhao Guangshui changed into pajamas and came out.Tan Mingli was bringing the reheated porridge to the dining table, but after a delay, the porridge became a bit cold.

Zhao Guangshui wanted to go up to help, but hesitated—she wasn't sure if Sister Li was angry now, and didn't know what to do, so she had to stand where she was, waiting for Tan Mingli's orders.

Of course, Tan Mingli saw the girl's bewildered look, her eyes were dark and wet, and she carefully looked at her expression quietly, not sure whether she should go forward or stay where she was, thinking hesitantly.

It was like the timid kitten when she first met Xiao Shui.

She sighed softly in her heart, and signaled: "Come and eat."

"The porridge is getting cold."

she said softly.

Seeing that she finally spoke, Zhao Guangshui was relieved a lot, knowing that Sister Li was not angry.She hurriedly responded, pulled out the chair for Tan Mingli, sat on the opposite side, and obediently drank the porridge.

Today's dinner is red bean porridge.

Soft, glutinous and sweet, the round red beans will melt into bean paste on the tip of the tongue after being boiled extremely rotten.There is steaming white steam from the side of the bowl, the temperature is just right for the mouth, warming the stomach and reassuring.

Such porridge with a suitable temperature should have been cooked before she came home.Just now she went to take a shower, and it got hot again, but the entrance was still just right.How much meticulous thought has been spent on this simple bowl of porridge?

Just like Sister Pear.Zhao Guangshui thought so.

Tan Mingli was born with an exquisite heart, she clearly knows how to make people feel grateful, but she never counts on giving favors.Her heart is often used in the subtleties, and she doesn't let people know.

The spring breeze transforms the rain, moistens things silently, and treats people well in every way without showing any signs of expression. If she is a little dull, she won't even notice her gentleness and appropriateness.

Sister Pear.

Zhao Guangshui quietly raised his eyes and glanced at the beautiful woman opposite, his heart was soft and warm.Sister Li treated her well, and she remembered every bit of it in her heart, and she never forgot.

She hesitated for a moment, then said softly:

"Sister, I got wet in the rain today because... I found a nest of birds blown down by the wind on the road. I was a little anxious to help, so I got wet."

"I came back a little late today, and it's also because of this."

The girl said obediently, with a guilty look on her face, "When you called me, I was helping."

"Next time I won't do that again, really."

She assured her earnestly, her tone was as solemn as if she was taking an oath.

Xiao Shui... was so despondent that he was almost stupid.

Tan Mingli sighed softly.But why did she just like this kind of sincere stupidity so much?

She put down her chopsticks, her expression was as soft as the waves of a lake under the moonlight, and she said softly:

"It's okay, don't worry about it, Xiao Shui. I'm not angry."

Is it because this person is Xiao Shui?

"I'm just worried about you."

The beautiful and gentle woman speaks the truth softly.

Zhao Guangshui bit his lips, feeling even more guilty: "I'm sorry, sister, I made you worry...I..."

"But I'm a little angry now," Tan Mingli gently interrupted the girl's apology and self-blame, her eyes soft and gentle, "Do you know why?"

"why?"

Zhao Guangshui was attracted by her and raised his face in confusion.

"Because you didn't take good care of yourself."

Tan Mingli paused, with a gentle and teasing smile in his eyes, "And you still want to hide it from me, don't you?"

"Ah I……"

Zhao Guangshui was speechless.She was really afraid that elder sister Li would be angry because she thought it was not worthwhile for a nest of birds to make herself so embarrassed, and she didn't intend to say it.

"Yes, sorry."

She apologized shamelessly, "I will never do this again, and I will never hide anything from my sister."

Tan Mingli shook her head with a smile, and said softly: "No, Xiao Shui, I didn't tell you to keep it from me. You are an independent individual, and it's normal to have your own little secrets."

"It's just that I hope that when you help small animals or other people next time, you can pay more attention to yourself."

She spoke sincerely and earnestly.

"I don't want to see anything happen to you, and I don't want you to be sick."

Tan Mingli said softly, with gentle and honest eyes, "Today's rain is really heavy, and there is a typhoon recently."

"..."

She is so gentle.

"I'll pay attention."

Zhao Guangshui seriously agreed.

Tan Mingli smiled softly, and whispered softly, "Good boy."

Her voice is nice, her pronunciation is also standard, she speaks softly and clearly, and there is a kind of intimacy when she lowers her voice slightly.The appearance is so beautiful, under the lamp, the whole person looks more and more like white jade and pure porcelain, with soft hair and deep eyes.

Zhao Guangshui held his breath, his heart beating rapidly.

...Pear sister is so beautiful.

She quietly pinched the corner of her clothes.

It rained harder and harder.

Tan Mingli looked worriedly out of the dark window, is the typhoon coming?I don't know if there will be a power outage tonight.

She turned around and wanted to tell Xiao Shui, but she saw the girl holding a bowl in trouble.

Zhao Guangshui was a little weak, and Tan Mingli was afraid that she would catch a cold in the rain today, so he cooked an extra bowl of ginger soup for her.

Zhao Guangshui pursed his lips, hesitantly went to the bowl and smelled it.

In fact, she is very talkative, doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing, and is rarely picky about food, but she just can't eat some things, such as onions, ginger and garlic, which always feel smelly.Fortunately, Tan Mingli doesn't know how to cook authentic Chinese dishes, and basically doesn't use onions, ginger and garlic to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. She has always behaved very well, until today Tan Mingli cooked ginger soup for her , and this started to make trouble.

"What's the matter, Xiao Shui, don't you like drinking?"

Tan Mingli observed her for a while, then walked over and asked gently.

"Um……"

Zhao Guangshui felt very ashamed, obviously he accidentally got caught in the rain, and Sister Li cooked ginger soup for herself, but she was still so delicate, "I'm not used to the smell of ginger."

"It's okay," Tan Mingli didn't mind, but gently rubbed the top of the girl's hair, "If we don't like it, we won't drink it, huh?"

He asked softly, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

When Xiao Shui first arrived, she asked Xiao Shui if he had any taboos.

...I was afraid that you would find me troublesome and bore me, so I didn't talk about it.Zhao Guangshui lowered his eyes.

In fact, she didn't expect to stay at Sister Li's house for such a long time. She just thought that if she encountered something she didn't like in one month, she could eat it with some force. She believed that Tan Mingli would not notice it.

I didn't expect...I didn't expect Sister Li to be so kind, so good that she lost her mind.Zhao Guangshui was too used to suppressing his emotions, but getting along with Tan Mingli was too relaxing. She couldn't pretend for a while, and was a little worried while holding the bowl, and she was found when she turned around.

If she was at home, she would definitely not let anyone see it, and would drink it without changing her face.

Sister Pear made me self-willed.she thought.

"I forgot."

She spoke obediently.

Tan Mingli smiled, leaned against the porch, turned her head and looked at her: "It's okay, then I will remember it now."

She smiled and nodded her head: "here, I'll give you a top memo, okay?"

The woman's posture is lazy and casual, but her expression is gentle, and her eyes roll when she smiles, passionate and vivid, which is naturally tempting.

Woo, what's the top... Sister Li, does she say that to every girl?

Zhao Guangshui was teased by her so much that his heart was pounding, he regained his composure after a while, and nodded in agreement.

"But," the girl picked up the bowl and smiled softly at the woman, "I can finish this bowl, can I?"

"Ok?"

Didn't you say you don't like it? Why...?Tan Mingli was taken aback for a moment, then blinked a little confused.

"Because Sister Li cooked it," Zhao Guangshui said softly with red ears, "I...I don't want to waste it."

After trying to speak calmly, she was already so shy that her face was burning, and she didn't dare to see Tan Mingli's reaction, so she quickly lowered her head and sipped the soup, finishing it in one gulp.

"Finished."

She raised her face, looked at Tan Mingli with moist eyes, her cheeks were flushed, and she whispered slowly while thinking: "Now, it seems that ginger soup is not too bad to drink."

The girl speaks very lightly, with a special seriousness and sincerity, which is easy to appear frivolous when spoken by ordinary people, but when she speaks it, she is born with a solemn and affectionate nature.

Tan Mingli's heart skipped a beat, and he exhaled slowly.

Xiao Shui's eyes are so clear.
