cast a peach

Chapter 4

When Zhao Guangshui woke up again, it was already twilight outside the window.

She was not fully awake yet, and sat on the bed for a few seconds.

Looking around, it was his own room.

Hey……?

I clearly remember... I was reading in Sister Li's study before I fell asleep, why did I suddenly come to my room when I woke up?

Also, what time is it now?

Zhao Guangshui got out of bed quickly, washed up briefly, and ran to find Tan Mingli.Since she came, Tan Mingli has been with her at home, rarely going out except for grocery shopping.

Tan Mingli was cooking in the kitchen, when she heard the movement, she turned around, looked at her and smiled softly:

"Little water."

"Why don't you sleep for a while? You have to wait for dinner."

Tan Mingli took off her apron, wiped her hands, and handed her a glass of milk.

Zhao Guangshui took the milk, it was still warm, probably kept in the incubator while she was sleeping.She took a quick sip.

"Why don't you call me?" She raised her face and asked Tan Mingli, a little embarrassed.

The voice she just woke up from is still a little milky, and her tone is a little coquettish, which is different from usual.Tan Mingli couldn't help smiling, and reached out to smooth her hair:

"Seeing that you are sleeping so soundly, I don't want to cry."

Zhao Guangshui's face became hot all of a sudden.

She usually has very shallow sleep, and she wakes up at the slightest movement.How did you sleep so soundly today...

She suddenly remembered something, her heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Then, how did I get to my room?"

"Um……"

Tan Mingli smiled, her eyes rolled around, she carefully watched the girl's anxious appearance, deliberately lengthened the ending, and said calmly after whetting her appetite: "I carried you over."

Help, how could this happen.

Zhao Guangshui almost got into a crack in the ground.

She has been an independent child since she was a child, doing her own things, and she has never acted like a baby and let others hug her since she was sensible.

Not to mention Tan Mingli and sister Li who have always liked.

She was so ashamed that she couldn't speak for a long time, so she could only ask: "Then, am I heavy?"

——Did it overwhelm you?

Tan Mingli smiled clearly, she is really a young girl, she is more concerned about her weight.She smiled and replied, "It's not heavy. Our little water is very light."

He added, "I feel like I can hold you with one hand."

It's not that she coaxed Zhao Guangshui, when she picked Zhao Guangshui up and went back to the room today, she was indeed slightly surprised.Xiao Shui was lighter than she imagined.

It was only when I held her in my arms that I felt how slender the girl's body was.

Is it a little too skinny?She felt a little apprehensive.

Are you trying to lose weight?

Tan Mingli decided to try it out.If so, she has to guide Xiao Shui to take good care of her body and eat well.

Zhao Guangshui smiled embarrassedly, feeling a strange throbbing in his heart for no reason.She couldn't tell what it felt like.

Very novel.She has never experienced it.

Before she had time to think about what it felt like, her eyes fell on Tan Mingli's wrist.

Tan Mingli has a graceful figure and a gentle and upright temperament. No matter what she wears, she has a kind of clean and elegant gentleness.Although it is the beginning of August, the air conditioner in the room is fully turned on, so it is also very cool.

She was wearing a silk long-sleeved shirt today, with a few buttons undone casually, revealing a slender neck and a bit of collarbone, and a slender wrist protruding from the lotus-colored cuffs.

Ice muscle and bone.

Zhao Guangshui thought of a poem, but she didn't tell Tan Mingli about it, for fear of appearing frivolous.

She was stunned for a moment, and took Tan Mingli's hand.

"Sister Li," Zhao Guangshui looked at Tan Mingli nervously, "your wrist..."

A piece of plaster was stuck on Tan Mingli's wrist.

Did you sprain it while holding her?

Tan Mingli was also taken aback, and then smiled: "What's wrong?"

She raised her hand indifferently, and asked Zhao Guangshui to see it more clearly: "Tendosynovitis. It's an old problem. When I was studying, I had a lot of articles to write. I always sat in front of the computer and typed. I don't know why."

There was a piece of plaster on the woman's slender and beautiful wrist, which looked very inconsistent.Zhao Guangshui felt a little distressed.

She carefully held Tan Mingli's hand with both hands, and raised her head to look at Tan Mingli: "Did you go to the hospital? Does it still hurt?"

Thinking of Sister Li still hugging herself today, she feels guilty all of a sudden: "I'm sorry... I will never sleep in the study again."

"It has nothing to do with you, Xiao Shui."

When the girl raised her face, her pupils were wet, and her face was full of guilt and distress. It was touching, but also really painful.Tan Mingli couldn't help raising her other hand to rub her soft hair, then bent down and said softly:

"Our Xiaoshui is like a kitten in our arms, not tiring at all."

"Ah, the meal is ready."

The pot was gurgling in the kitchen, Tan Mingli looked back, turned around and squeezed Zhao Guangshui's earlobe with a smile: "It's purple rice porridge tonight, do you like it? Let me see when we can put our kitten Feed a little fatter, huh?"

Zhao Guangshui said softly that he liked it.

The dining table in Tan Mingli's house was not big, it was a small white round table covered with a beautiful green checked tablecloth, just big enough to seat three or four people.The two of them sat facing each other when eating, and there was still a lot of room left.

Zhao Guangshui eats very well. He sits upright with his legs crossed, neither shoulders slanting nor legs shaking, and he eats almost silently.

He doesn't talk much either.Unless Tan Mingli asked her, she immediately put down her chopsticks and answered a few words obediently, otherwise she would not speak.

Don't eat or sleep, Tan Mingli actually doesn't care much about this rule, just do whatever feels natural and comfortable.She looks dignified, but she is actually a casual person in her bones.

Tan Mingli knew that the Zhao family was well educated.

She had visited the Zhao family with her grandfather before, and she had heard a little about the Zhao family's style, but she didn't quite agree with some of the methods of the Zhao family's teaching children.

Perhaps too much for the child.

Also too rigid.

Although the juniors of the Zhao family are all excellent, she always feels that they lack a little bit of vitality, so she has never really liked dealing with the Zhao family.

Zhao Zhihua is an exception.Sister Zhihua is a rare person in the Zhao family who has a temperament and loves and hates.

Xiao Shui... Xiao Shui is also an exception.

She thought wildly.

Xiaoshui is the granddaughter of the Zhao family. She was raised by Grandpa Zhao since she was a child. She is the most beloved and proud child of Grandpa Zhao. It stands to reason that she should be more reluctant to contact Xiaoshui than others.

But Xiaoshui is different.

Xiao Shui is a good boy who is sincere, sincere, kind, smart and sensitive.

Even Grandpa Zhao, who is so picky about juniors, likes Xiao Shui.

Tan Mingli thought of the distressed and uneasy look of the girl when she held her hand.

Eyes as black and moist as water, and lips as soft as red.

Perhaps no one would dislike Xiao Shui.

She took a sip of porridge and thought slowly.

Zhao Guangshui ate this meal a little absent-mindedly.She was concerned about Tan Mingli's wrist, and she always felt uneasy.

Sister Li is very good at avoiding the serious and taking the light, and in the end she didn't tell her whether it still hurts or not.

It should be painful.Otherwise, no plaster will be applied.

Still have to learn to cook.

Zhao Guangshui thought silently in his heart, cooking and chopping vegetables every day must be bad for his wrists.If she learns to cook, more or less, she can always help Sister Li to relieve a little burden.

It was late at night, after Tan Mingli washed and wiped off the maintenance, he adjusted the light of the bedside lamp, as usual, and prepared to read a few pages before going to bed.

As soon as she went to bed, she heard a light knock on the door.

"Sister Li," the girl's soft voice was a little blurry through the door, "Have you rested? Excuse me, may I come in?"

Zhao Guangshui looked at the dim light coming from the crack of the door, and added: "Just for a short while, it won't take too long."

She estimated that it should be about the same. Sister Li should have just gone to bed now, so it's not too disturbing.

Tan Mingli was stunned for a moment, closed the book and replied softly: "Of course. The door is not locked, you can come in just by twisting it."

What's the matter, Xiao Shui?

Xiao Shui is very independent, he hardly acts like a baby to her, but also pays attention to etiquette and respects her feelings.Know how to advance and retreat, know how to measure, very sensible and considerate.

She likes this kind of caring, but sometimes she feels a little troubled.

After all, the other side of caring and sensible is... a sense of distance.

Although she and Xiao Shui are close, they are not too close and familiar.

She could tell that Xiao Shui liked and cared about herself, but sometimes she would also think...

——Can Xiao Shui rely on himself a little more?

Maybe tonight is an opportunity.She sat up straighter.

What are you talking about at night?When I was in college, the girls in the dormitory liked to whisper something after the lights were turned off at night.

She still remembered that Zhao Guangshui was too thin.

Xiaoshui came in.She was wearing a very simple long nightdress, white, and she seemed to be holding something in her hand, but she couldn't see it clearly.

The nightdress is a suspender style, very cool.

Seeing the girl's naked white skin unexpectedly, Tan Mingli was a little dazed.

The main reason is that Zhao Guang dressed well when he was level, rather conservative, tight-fitting, and barely revealing.Even wearing a skirt only shows a section of the calf.

She didn't realize it for a while, hummed, and saw the girl walking towards her, raising her hand so that she could see the small bottle in her hand.

Is it a bottle of... essential oil?

"Sister Pear, that..."

The girl was a little embarrassed, pinching the edge of her nightgown and lowering her eyes, as if she didn't know how to speak, she hesitated for a long time before slowly saying: "I..."

Tan Mingli suddenly became nervous.

The heart is beating.

What does Xiao Shui want to say?

"I... have learned a little massage..."

The young girl under the dim light is slender and beautiful, like an oil painting with fresh colors, and her eyes are so clear:

"I was thinking, if my sister doesn't want to disturb you, I can give you a wrist press."

"Maybe feel a little bit better."

The girl knelt down beside her obediently, put down the essential oil bottle, raised her hand to pin her hair behind her ear, turned her head slightly, and asked softly:

"I can--"

"Take up a little bit of my sister's sleeping time?"
