Yuan Zhen

Chapter 13 Calling

As soon as the project was settled, Cheng Duo was in a hurry to go home, and he only bought a sandwich for lunch, looking impatient.Even Secretary Luo was curious, poked his head out from the co-pilot, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Cheng, we don't seem to have any other plans for today. Are we in such a hurry?"

Cheng Duo: "Why don't you stay for another day?"

Secretary Luo waved her hand resentfully, "Haha, no need."

Why are you in such a hurry?

Maybe it's because I miss the kitten at home too much.

He sat in the back seat of the car, took a bite of the sandwich, and just turned to the circle of friends he posted yesterday.

Qin Jing's comment was on the first row: How cute?

He typed with one hand: the superlative form of cuteness

Soon Qin Jing replied, but he sent a private message directly.

Qin Jing: What do you mean?Life is too happy, want to experience the pain of love?

The photo that Cheng Duo chose, even if others saw most of it, they wouldn't care too much.You can't see Yuan Xiao's face in the picture at all, so no one would think that the word "cute" refers to the fur ball in the center of the screen.

But Qin Jing was not in the category of "most people", he probably saw Cheng Duo's hidden intentions at a glance.

Cheng Duo: I don’t think so

After the message was sent, the phone vibrated several times, all of which were sent by Qin Jing.

Rule [-]: Try it if you like it

Rule [-]: The worst case scenario is not having friends

Article [-]: If you like him but can't be together, do you still want to be friends with him?Seeing him flirting with others, isn't this purely for self-sufficiency?

Cheng Duo: ...

Cheng Duo: Are you free now?

Qin Jing: At lunch time, gossip over dinner

Cheng Duo: Get out

Putting the mobile phone back into his pocket after handing it out, Cheng Duo mechanically chewed on the sandwich, and suddenly felt that what Qin Jing said was quite reasonable, and it wasn't a middle school student's puppy love.

When Cheng Duo returned home, he didn't expect that Yuan Xiao was still sleeping, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

The curtains in the bedroom were drawn tightly, the room was dark during the day, and the air conditioner was turned on very low. Yuan Xiao slept on his bed, her hands and feet huddled under the quilt, facing the wall, only the back of her head was exposed.

He was in a deep sleep. Cheng Duo didn't pay attention when he closed the door just now, and the "bang" when the door bounced back didn't wake him up.

Cheng Duo stood by the bed for a while, wanting to take a nap on a whim.

After taking a shower, he tiptoed into the bed, not daring to move too much, for fear of waking people up, he stared at the back of Yuan Xiao's head, slowly feeling sleepy.

Yuan Xiao slept for too long yesterday afternoon, which caused her tossing and turning and being unable to fall asleep at night. Her mind was very clear, so she turned to a few old movies and watched them. As a result, the more she watched, the more awake she became. It's too much.

He noticed the sound of breathing behind him, and kicked back without thinking.

As a result, the ankle was pinched by the man behind.

He turned his upper body awkwardly and saw Cheng Duo's smiling face.

"Let go." Yuan Xiao shook her pinched leg.

Cheng Duo didn't let go, grabbing his ankles and wrapping his arms around his shoulders, he turned the person over so that they were lying face to face, and then let go of his hands.

"When did you come back?" Yuan Xiao felt that it was a bit weird for the two of them to lie down like this, so she sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.

In fact, he just slept on the carpet with Jiang Wen and the others yesterday afternoon, and he didn't find it awkward. Could it be because he didn't know Cheng Duo that well?

"An hour ago." Cheng Duo stared at Yuan Xiao. He was wearing a gray silk pajamas, and his hair was messed up.

"Get out of the way, I'll go back and wash up." On the side where Yuan Xiao slept, the edge of the bed was pressed against the wall.

"Does my bed sleep so soundly? You sleep until three o'clock in the afternoon." Cheng Duo got up to let Yuan Xiao get out of bed, his eyes glanced at the collar of his pajamas, and he immediately moved away.

See no evil, see no evil.

Yuan Xiao had just woken up, so she had no desire to speak, and was too lazy to explain these unimportant issues to him.

Cheng Duo hugged the fur ball and followed Yuan Xiao to the next door.

The hot pot smell in the room was gone, but the open windows let all the heat into the room, and the room was like a steamer.

Yuan Xiao quickly turned on the air conditioner, took off her shirt and went to the bathroom to wash up, ignoring Cheng Duo who was behind her.

He was shirtless, standing in front of the mirror and brushing his teeth.Cheng Duo came over and leaned against the door frame, looking at him in the mirror.

The scene felt a little familiar.

"Yuan Xiao, do you want to learn pottery?" Cheng Duo stared at Yuan Xiao's eyes, deliberately not to look down.It felt like the temperature in the room was really high, even his face was burning hot.

Yuan Xiao opened her mouth, and bubble stars flew around, "I don't know how? What else do I need to learn?"

"No, it's from a professional master. Do you want to learn?" Cheng Duo explained.

Yuan Xiao didn't immediately happily agree as Cheng Duo imagined, but pondered for a while.

Cheng Duo then continued: "The artist friend I mentioned to you last time, his father is a master pottery artist. If you want to learn, I can send your previous works to let his father see if you have talent. , is it suitable for learning, do you want to try it?"

Yuan Xiao rinsed off the foam in her mouth, poured two handfuls of water on her face, and simply washed her face.

"If you want to learn, it should take a lot of time." Yuan Xiao replied after wiping the water off her face.

"Don't think too much, just say whether you want it or not," Cheng Duo said.

"I think." Yuan Xiao nodded.

I want to.

Why don't you want to?

"Okay, then you can send me a few more photos of the work you made earlier, and I'll tell someone."

Cheng Duo's cell phone rang suddenly, he glanced at it, it was Yuan Tu, so he picked it up in front of Yuan Xiao, unexpectedly the call was just for Yuan Xiao.

"Yuan Xiao? Beside me." Cheng Duo replied, and then said to Yuan Xiao, "Where's your cell phone? Yuan Tu called you."

Yuan Xiao thought about it, and it seemed that the sound was muted yesterday and placed in Cheng Duo's bedroom.

Cheng Duo simply handed him the phone.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Don't, you tell Lao Yuan, don't do anything, I'll go back and have a meal at most."

"That's it, hang up."

Yuan Tu seemed to want to ask something more, but Yuan Xiao directly cut off the phone.

Yuan Xiao has never liked such things as birthday parties. He is not willing to participate in other people's parties, and he is even less willing to have his own. Not to mention anything else, if he invites a lot of people, how many of them are sincerely because of others? Happy birthday?

He handed the phone back to Cheng Duo, Cheng Duo pinched the corner of the phone, pushed his index finger on the edge of the phone, and the phone just spun round and round in his hand, watching Yuan Xiao's heart ache, he would have to fall if he fell It's messy, right?

Cheng Duo asked him, "Yuan Tu asked you to go home?"

Yuan Xiao nodded, "Well, but not today."

"That's great, let's have dinner together." Cheng Duo smiled, showing his white teeth, "I only had a sandwich for lunch today, and it was unpalatable."

Yuan Xiao scratched her hair, "Aren't you? Your aunt gets her salary very easily, and you eat all your meals here."

"Don't be stingy. Are you killing a donkey? I'm starved to death, who will help you find a pottery teacher?" Cheng Duo held his mobile phone against Yuanxiao's forehead and gently pushed it.

The corners of Yuan Xiao's mouth turned up slightly, he was joking, and he also doesn't like eating alone.Since he likes to eat with him, and he doesn't like to eat alone, wouldn't it be better for the two of them to eat together?

Yuan Xiao went into the bedroom to change clothes and pajama pants, but the door was left open.

It's not that he has any exhibitionism, it's just that he felt that the two men were in the room, and he deliberately closed the door, which seemed a bit of a thing, so he simply left it open.

"Are you going to buy groceries?" Cheng Duo leaned against the door, his right leg was shaking non-stop, looking excited.

Yuan Xiao neatly put on casual shorts and walked out, "No, there's a fridge. Help me get my phone, I'll look through the recipes."

Cheng Duo then went back to the house to get Yuan Xiao's mobile phone, and when he passed the kitchen, he glanced at the apron hanging on the wall, which was used by his aunt when she was cooking.

He suddenly remembered that there were still a few aprons in the cabinet. When he bought them, he took a few more. He remembered that one of them was a Garfield pattern, lazy and arrogant.The expression is very similar to Yuanxiao.

Cheng Duo went into the kitchen with his mobile phone and the Garfield apron he found out from rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Yuan Xiao was washing rice.

"Start doing it so early?" Cheng Duo put the phone on the desk and tore open the transparent bag of the apron.

"I haven't eaten anything today, so I'm hungry. Didn't you just eat a sandwich? Are you hungry?" Yuan Xiao didn't look at him, and continued to search for the second dish.

"Hungry." Cheng Duo stood behind Yuan Xiao, put his hands around Yuan Xiao's waist, and tied his apron around him, "I'll help you do it together."

When he lowered his head to speak, his breath sprayed on the back of Yuan Xiao's neck, which made Yuan Xiao shrank his neck reflexively. When he looked down, there was a yellow Garfield lying on the blue apron. It was a bit cute, but... "I'm wearing black clothes, there's no need to wear this?"

"The function of the apron is to prevent dirt. The black color is only difficult to see if it is dirty, and it's not that it won't be dirty. Tell yourself, is it necessary?" Cheng Duo said while tying the belt and a bow.

"Then you should wear one, and you're still wearing white." Yuan Xiao was washing the rice in his hand, and didn't take care of it, but turned his head and gave him a white look.

"I'll just help wash the vegetables, it won't get dirty anywhere." Cheng Duo took a step back and looked, "Just tie it on."

Yuan Xiao drooped her eyelids, her speechless expression was a little funny.

Cheng Duo's gaze wandered over the waist of Yuanxiao's apron, and after a while, he smiled with satisfaction and looked away.
