cast a peach

Chapter 50

Zhao Guangshui is a little distressed recently.

She is actually a child with a very simple life. When she was a child, she only studied and drank medicine every day in the ancestral house. Now that she has grown up, she came to Jiangcheng. Apart from studying and studying, she also has Tan Mingli as the focus of her life.

She didn't have any unreasonable thoughts about Tan Mingli, and felt that Sister Li would really have some superlative feelings for her. She just secretly liked Sister Li seriously and carefully. With a flower that won't bloom.

She just wanted to get along with Sister Li in such a peaceful and stable way, and she already felt very satisfied.

but……

Zhao Guangshui lay on the table in a daze.

Sister Li seems to treat her a little differently recently.

When she returned to Tan's, she was very busy every day, except for a little free time in the morning and evening, she hardly had time to spend with her.

Zhao Guangshui didn't quite understand Tan's affairs. She didn't know why Sister Li would go back suddenly, just like she didn't know why Sister Li gave up her studies and got married suddenly.

Sister Li didn't explain the reason to her, so she tacitly didn't ask.

Maybe it's because Sister Li is very powerful, so the company needs her, right?Zhao Guangshui guessed like this.

She has no objection to Sister Li's return to Tan's work, on the contrary she is very supportive.Grandpa taught her girls to have their own careers since she was a child. She felt that Sister Li was so good, and it seemed that she was inferior to always staying at home to take care of her.

So Sister Li can have her own goals and career, and she is also very happy for Sister Li.

But... Zhao Guangshui raised his face in melancholy.

Sister Li is very busy every day after work, and she hardly sees her now.

She is not very happy about this.

Then she felt that she was very ignorant.

Sister Li has worked so hard, she doesn't take care of her dearly, but only feels sad because she spends less time with Sister Li.

Very unaware.

She turned on her phone and took a look. Sister Li didn't reply to the wechat she sent in the morning, and her cat emoji was still poking around on the screen alone.

In the past, Sister Li would reply to her very quickly...

Zhao Guangshui turned off the phone in frustration.

She was still alone after school, and Sister Li was not at home.She has been working overtime recently and won't come back until after eight o'clock in the evening.Zhao Guangshui sighed quietly.

Probably the scene where Sister Li greeted her gently and said "Xiao Shui, you're back" was so warm and moving, that's why the empty room seems so quiet and lonely now.

After changing her shoes, she patted Stitch sitting on the porch, feeling refreshed again, and went to look up information and do homework as usual.

After I finished writing, it was already 07:30. It is now mid-November, which is the beginning of winter. It gets dark very early, and it is already dark outside the window.

Zhao Guangshui looked at his watch, and sister Li hadn't come back yet.

She checked WeChat again, but Sister Li still didn't reply to her.

She held the doll in a daze for a while in frustration, then regained her composure and went to the kitchen to cook.

In fact, Tan Mingli had discussed it with Zhao Guangshui before, because she is busy with work and has no time to cook dinner for Zhao Guangshui. She wanted to invite her aunt to cook at home, but Zhao Guangshui softly refused. can do.

She was indeed doing a good job, Tan Mingli saw that she insisted, so she stopped proposing and let her go.

She cooked red dates and white fungus soup tonight, thinking that Sister Li has been working hard recently, so she should make up for it.

As soon as the soup was steaming, the door rang. Zhao Guangshui turned around and saw Tan Mingli changing clothes in the hallway.

"Sister Pear!"

She let out a cry of surprise, and hurried over to pick up the woman's bag.

Sister Li came back so early today!

It's not yet eight o'clock, she is so happy.

"What's wrong, Xiao Shui."

Tan Mingli glanced at her gently, turned around and hung the coat on the hanger, and asked softly, "Have you finished your homework?"

"It's finished."

Zhao Guangshui answered obediently, looking at the beautiful woman with bright eyes.

Although during the day she would feel lost and lost because of Sister Li, but as soon as she saw her at night, she couldn't help being happy, her heart and eyes were full of the person in front of her, and the bad emotions were swept away.

"Have you cooked?"

Tan Mingli heard the creaking sound in the kitchen, glanced at Wen Sheng, and asked casually.

"Ah, yes!"

It was only then that Zhao Guangshui remembered that there was still soup in his pot, so he hurried back to the kitchen to turn off the fire, scooped it out and divided it, brought it out of the kitchen hot and put it on the dining table.

"I cooked red dates and white fungus soup..."

Zhao Guangshui was a little embarrassed. The girl's shyness prevented her from expressing her concern and love directly when facing her sweetheart, "That... sister, you have been working very hard recently, I—"

"No need, Xiao Shui."

Tan Mingli glanced at the bowl on the table, and refused gently, "I had already eaten it when I came back."

"what……"

Zhao Guangshui didn't expect to get such an answer, he was stunned for a moment before he realized, "Is that so..."

"You don't have to do more for me in the future, okay?"

Tan Mingli added very gently, "Don't wait for me, I'm not sure when I'll be back, I'll eat early, don't worry."

"Ok."

Zhao Guangshui nodded slightly.

Sister Li went to wash up.

Zhao Guangshui sat alone at the dining table, looked down at the two bowls of rice, and felt sour and sad in his heart.

Obviously there are two bowls, but now she is the only one sitting here.

She held back her tears for a while, to avoid crying directly out of embarrassment, and picked up a spoon to take a small bite.

It doesn't seem very tasty.

Zhao Guangshui quietly wiped his eyes.

No wonder Sister Li doesn't want to eat the food she cooks.

In the end, she didn't even finish a bowl of soup. She managed to drink half of it and was so sad that she couldn't drink it anymore, so she had to throw out the rest.

Sister Li no longer eats dinner at home, and she seems to spend less time with Sister Li.

She felt like she didn't even want to eat dinner.

While washing the dishes, she felt sad again.

Is there really no time to have dinner with her?Obviously...Obviously even grandpa will try his best to find time to have a meal with her, and grandpa is also very busy at work every day.

But she immediately explained to Sister Li in her heart:

Ah, after all, Sister Li's work is different from that of Grandpa, so Sister Li may be busier than Grandpa.And when I first joined the company, there were always the most things, and there were a lot of things, so it was normal for Sister Li not to come back for dinner.

Maybe, after this period of time has passed and Sister Li's work is on the right track, she will be able to relax and spend time with herself again.

Well, that should be it.

After some speculation, Zhao Guangshui turned off the lights and went back to his room until he felt that he was not as sad as before.

Standing for a while at the door of Tan Mingli's room, where the light was still on, she hesitated for a long time, and finally, her concern for Sister Li prevailed. She mustered up her courage, took a cup of hot milk, and knocked on the door lightly. :

"Sister Pear? Are you free now?"

Tan Mingli said "Come in" gently, and Zhao Guangshui cautiously pushed the door open.

Sister Pear seems to be still working.

She glanced at the lit computer screen and scattered documents on the woman's desk, and thought silently.

Sister Li has really worked so hard, how can she lose her temper because of a little thing?

Zhao Guangshui was very guilty and blamed himself, he gently put the milk on the table, and whispered a little uneasily, "Sister, I, I warmed up some milk for you, remember to drink it while it's hot."

Tan Mingli is a little nearsighted and wears glasses when working.She glanced at the milk on the table, smiled, and said, "Okay, thank you Xiao Shui."

"You should go to bed early and don't work too late..."

Zhao Guangshui asked worriedly.

Tan Mingli still smiled and agreed.

There seemed to be nothing else to say.Zhao Guangshui stood at the door pinching the hem of his clothes, thinking hard about what else he could say to Sister Li.

She really spends so little time with Sister Li now that she wants to cherish such a short time and try to talk to Sister Li as much as possible.

But the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out. She couldn't stand here and tell Sister Li what she had learned in class during the day, so Zhao Guangshui had no choice but to leave in frustration.

Tan Mingli said good night to her softly.

When she saw the coffee on Tan Mingli's table before leaving, she hesitated for a moment. She was afraid that Sister Li would find herself annoying, but she still gently reminded: "Sister Li...you should drink less coffee before going to bed. Otherwise you won't be able to sleep."

Sister Li has not been sleeping very well. She has been trying hard to reduce the amount of coffee that Sister Li drinks, but now that Sister Li is working, she has no way to follow the supervision in the company, and she has gone back to everything.

Tan Mingli was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect her to remember the coffee, but she nodded in agreement.

Zhao Guangshui really had nothing else to say now, so he had to gently close the door.

Ugh.

She sighed quietly.

She was still feeling empty when she lay down on the bed under the quilt. She couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, but she felt that her heart was like fluffy grass, being blown around by the wind.

sister pear...

Her tone and voice are still so gentle, and she will habitually ask her "how are you" when she speaks, and she can't find anything wrong, but she just knows that there is something different.

Sister Li seemed to be alienated from her suddenly.

Is it because work is too busy?

It's not that she doesn't talk or touch, Tan Mingli still treats her gently and patiently, meticulously and considerately, but it seems that there is something less than before.

——Lack of a natural and soft intimacy.

It was as if the two of them had returned to two months ago when she first came to Jiangcheng.

No, it's even worse than that.Zhao Guangshui thought dejectedly.The current Sister Li gave her the feeling that she was wearing a perfect and appropriate mask, perfect, but also businesslike.An invisible barrier quietly blocked between the two of them.

Why is this?

What mistake did she make, is elder sister Li angry with her?

Or, sister Li found out that she likes her?

Zhao Guangshui was taken aback by this possibility and almost sat up.

Probably not... She thinks she can hide her liking and admiration well, and if Sister Li finds out about her feelings, she should drive her back to her mother, right?

After all, elder sister Li doesn't like girls... She should think it's disgusting that I like her.

Also very disrespectful.

Sister Li is her elder after all.It is very offensive and excessive to fall in love with one's elders, even if they are not of the same sex.

She couldn't figure it out, just like she never could figure out Sister Li.

Zhao Guangshui looked at the dark ceiling in frustration.

Between her and Sister Li, it seems that Sister Li is always in control of everything.

Once Sister Li made a decision, she had no choice but to accept it.Not even the right to know.

What is sister pear thinking?

Tan Mingli looked at the milk on the table, lost his mind for a long time, and then slowly picked it up and took a sip.

The entrance was astringent, and she had put it aside to cool down.

Xiao Shui must be very sad, right?Such repeated disappointment of Xiao Shui's wishes, she clearly saw the astonishment and hurt in the girl's eyes.

It hurt like her own heart.

She took off her glasses tiredly and rubbed between her brows.

I'm sorry...Xiao Shui, but this doesn't seem to be enough.

Xiao Shui's heart for her was too firm and pure, she thought that she only needed a little hint to stab the sensitive girl, making her close her heart like a shell and put away her love and care.

But even though Xiaoshui was so sad, even though he was uneasy because of her attitude, he still tried his best to overcome his emotions to get close to her.

She didn't even complain or feel wronged, not even acting like a baby.

Tan Mingli turned on the phone and looked at it, and Xiaoshui was on the top of WeChat.The girl sent her a message in the morning, and she deliberately left it open for a whole day, but never returned it.

There is no turning back when the bow is opened... She can't help but continue.

Tan Mingli was stunned for a while, then gently tapped "Cancel".
