Chapter 26 Lipsticks

The next morning, Tan Mingli was aroused by the aroma of rice.

It was already dawn, the sun was clear, the sky was clear, there was not a single cloud, and it was hard to see that there was such a heavy rain last night.Tan Mingli opened the window to let in the humid morning air after the rain.

Back at the bedside, Tan Mingli glanced at the phone, and said softly: It's already eight o'clock.

What's the matter, she never wakes up so late... She has a regular schedule, and her biological clock is clear. She doesn't need an alarm clock, and she wakes up at 06:30 every day. It has been like this for several years, but today she slept until [-] o'clock .

it was last night...

Tan Mingli suddenly thought of something, and the heat was on his face.

Last night, I thought of Xiaoshui standing at the door wet. I don’t know why she was a little disturbed. She didn’t fall asleep for a long time. Finally, she couldn’t get up and took a tablet of diazepam before she lay down again. Distracting thoughts, I fell asleep until this point before waking up.

Ugh.

Sleeping pills should be taken less in the future.

Tan Mingli sighed slightly in his heart, propped his brows together and put the medicine box in the cabinet, and decided not to rely on medicine to sleep for a while, feeling a little annoyed for a moment, feeling that he had made a mistake.

She suddenly thought of something and stood up suddenly——

What about Xiao Shui?Did she wake up?They usually have finished their breakfast at this point, Xiao Shui must have been waiting for her, right?Are you starving?She has to wash up quickly, and then cook...

Tan Mingli hurriedly put on her clothes and left the room. The living room was empty and there was no water.She called out "Xiao Shui", but no one answered.

What about Xiao Shui?

Have you gone out to play?Why don't you say hello?

Unexpectedly, seeing the girl obediently and sweetly waiting for her outside, Tan Mingli felt a little inexplicably disappointed, as if her expectations had been broken and she couldn't adapt.She is used to Xiaoshui being the first person she sees every morning.

She suppressed the strange uneasiness in her heart, and knocked on the door of Xiaoshui's room next door, and found that the door was ajar, she hesitated and pushed the door in, and saw that the beds were neatly made, but there was no one from Xiaoshui. .

The room was empty, just like her heart at the moment.

She closed the door and came out, and followed the smell of the rice to see that pumpkin porridge was simmering in the kitchen, golden and soft, full of aroma.It is the time set in advance by the rice cooker, and it is now cooked and keeping warm.

The flowers in the living room have also been watered, and they are vigorously holding their full flower stalks open to the sunlight outside the window, and there are a few drops of water on the pink and white petals.

Everything is arranged.

The room is full of sweet porridge fragrance, with a slight floral fragrance and a strong and warm family atmosphere.Tan Mingli stood in the living room, a little dazed.

Zhao Guangshui opened the door and came in, carrying a plastic bag in his hand. As soon as he came in, he saw Tan Mingli in the living room. After ah, he unconsciously smiled sweetly: "Sister, are you up?"

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" She put the key in the porch, turned around and put the vegetables and pan-fried bags on the dining table, spoke softly, bent down and changed her slippers while raising her eyes and smiling, "today It's the weekend, so it doesn't matter if you sleep in again."

"..."

Tan Mingli was silent, watching the girl's seemingly natural series of actions, and felt a strange warmth in his chest.

She carefully discerned this heart-warming emotion, took a breath, and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just looked at the girl deeply and softly, and said softly: "Then you haven't slept yet, Yes or no?"

Zhao Guangshui squatted down and put the changed shoes in the shoe cabinet. Hearing this, he smiled and looked up at her, a little embarrassed: "I won't be able to sleep when the time comes..."

Du Jingrong often made fun of her for this point, saying that she went to bed early and woke up early like an old man.

After changing her shoes, Zhao Guangshui stood up, wearing the lamb Xiaoen slippers that Tan Mingli bought for her, hooked her hair behind her ears with one hand, bent over and straightened her skirt, showing the girl's smooth waist.

Like a flower branch, flexible and slender, it is easy to hold.

Tan Mingli turned his eyes away unnaturally, rubbed his face as if to cover up, swallowed lightly, and turned around to drink some water.She is used to drinking a sip of water to moisten her throat every morning.

The water in the cup had already dried, and it was still hot.

She froze for a moment, glanced at Xiao Shui, her heart felt warm, and she lowered her neck and took a sip.

I don't know when... Xiao Shui noticed even this little habit.

"Sister Li, I just bought pan-fried buns and some vegetables." Zhao Guangshui came out after washing his hands, smiling with his eyes bent, in a good mood, "Shall we eat while it's hot?"

When she came out, she bounced a few times and hummed a few songs, she was so cute.

Tan Mingli felt the girl's good mood, and couldn't help smiling when she was brought up, looking back at her with gentle eyes: "Okay."

I don't know if it was because of drinking saliva, but she seemed to feel more at ease with her stomach connected to her heart, and regained some of her usual composure.Tan Mingli asked solemnly, "Is today a good day?"

"Ah?" Zhao Guangshui was stunned for a moment, a little dazed, and immediately recalled whether there was any festival recently, and saw a happy smile in the beautiful woman's clear and shallow eyes, and her tone was soft and teasing: "Otherwise, we Xiaoshui Why are you so happy?"

Only then did Zhao Guangshui belatedly realize that Tan Mingli was teasing her, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he said softly, "Sister..."

In fact, there is nothing good about it, just...

Sister Li got up a little later today, she could make a breakfast for Sister Li herself, and felt very happy to be able to help Sister Li, that's all.

There is a trace of unknown sweetness in her heart, and she doesn't intend to tell it - even sister Li can't do it - but cherishes it and hides it.

"Wait for me to wash up first, okay?" Tan Mingli stroked the girl's shoulder, showing a little embarrassment, and said softly, "I got up really late today...Sorry, Xiao Shui."

She didn't say that she fell asleep after taking Valium, for fear that Xiao Shui would be worried.

She blamed herself and felt guilty—how could she let Xiao Shui cook for her?She is an elder, and she should look like a big sister when Xiao Shui is called "Sister Li". She should be the one who loves and takes care of Xiao Shui.

Tan Mingli secretly made up her mind that she must never do this again in the future. ——Although Xiaoshui's thoughtfulness and meticulousness did make her warm and moved.

"It's okay!" Zhao Guangshui shook his head anxiously, and held her hand, "Sister Li, don't worry about this."

"We live together to take care of each other. I...I want to be able to..." Zhao Guangshui was anxious and easily stumbled, "I'm not a child anymore..."

——I am an adult now.

So you can rely on mine.

She wanted to say so.

Tan Mingli was silent for a moment, then responded with a smile in a low voice, rubbed her hair comfortingly, and asked the girl to eat something first.

After entering the bathroom, she turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of water to wash her face, and stared quietly at the woman in the mirror.

... The girl's eyes were dark and moist, as if they were brighter and brighter than the mirror in front of her.He stared at her with wide open eyes without blinking, serious and sincere.

Water drops dripped down Tan Mingli's mandible, and slowly fell into her neck.Tan Mingli sighed softly.

small water.

After applying the nursing care, Tan Mingli carefully looked at her face in the mirror for a while, and suddenly remembered that when Xiao Shui painted her portrait a few days ago, she felt that her lips were a little pale.After hesitating for a moment, he finally put on a little makeup by accident, and applied a thin layer of lipstick.

She pursed her lips in the mirror.

Suddenly lowering her eyes and not daring to look any more, Tan Mingli stood in front of the sink, rested her forehead for a while, took out a wet towel and gently wiped off the lipstick.

Forget it.

Walking out of the bathroom, Xiao Shui was sitting at the table obediently waiting for her. The table was all set up. Tan Mingli smiled at her softly, and the two of them ate together.

After eating, Zhao Guangshui got up to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Tan Mingli gently: "I'll come today? Huh?"

Her tone was soft, but she was very sure, with a hint of irresistibility, she had already rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, revealing her slender and snow-white arms.

Zhao Guangshui still wanted to fight for it, but seeing her appearance, he knew that he would not be able to fight for it today, so he had no choice but to agree to help Tan Mingli pack up the dishes and take them to the kitchen.

Sister Li is a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She looks gentle and gentle, as if she has no temper. In fact, she is very principled, and no one can go against what has been decided.Zhao Guangshui thought silently in his heart.

Tan Mingli bit the hair tie to her lips, and raised her hands to gather her long hair to tie it up. Zhao Guangshui saw it, and tacitly took the apron to help her tie it up.

The girl's breath came over fresh and soft from her back, Tan Mingli froze, lowered her eyes, and trembled slightly with her wrist holding her hair.

The apron tie is wrapped around the waist and tied carefully, bringing a subtle sense of confinement.

She bit her lip lightly, breathed out calmly, and moved a little away from Xiao Shui.

Tan Mingli dipped the bowls and chopsticks in the star basin, lowered his eyes and asked Zhao Guangshui warmly, "Xiao Shui, what are your plans today?"

"Ah," Zhao Guangshui thought for a while, "it seems to be all right. How about you, sister?"

"I'm fine." Tan Mingli turned her sideways and looked at her softly. "Shall we go out to play today, huh?"

"You don't need to go to any scenic spots, just go out for a walk and relax, how about it? It doesn't seem very good to stay at home all day." She added, "The weather is very good today. The weather forecast says there will be more people in the next few days." Rain, there is no such a good opportunity today."

"Okay!"

As long as it was Tan Mingli's words, Zhao Guangshui never refused, and the young girl happily nodded and agreed.

The morning sun in early autumn poured in from the window, shining on Zhao Guangshui's face, making her look more energetic, and even the small fluff on the girl's cheeks could be seen.

Tan Mingli smiled softly, lowered her head to concentrate on washing the dishes, her expression was unbelievably soft.

The weather is really nice today.

The author has something to say: Sister Li is a very complicated character.When I first started writing about her, I always felt a little up and down. I was afraid that I would not be able to grasp the image of her characters and make her a cliché; Thousands of knots and many thoughts and feelings.Compared with Xiaoshui's devotion, her heartbeat is her heartbeat, her liking is her liking, and she almost shows her heart if she wants to be nice to others. Tan Mingli's emotions and thoughts are restrained and will not be shown clearly; her feelings It also falls in the subtle dark places, the grass gray snake lines, hidden but not revealed, moistening things silently, and penetrating into the infinite.

If you just want to write a very provocative and Su Su's upside, of course it will be much easier, but I hope that Sister Li will not only give people the impression of Su and Su, but also show her hesitation and hesitation as an older woman. Her loneliness and loneliness, her repetitions and detours.She puts on lipstick and takes it off, what is she thinking when she looks in the mirror?I don't know either, maybe only Sister Li knows.It seems that most of the articles look at the young people from the eyes of the young people's admiration. I hope to add a little bit of the young people's perspective in this novel, which is almost half-and-half.
