Chapter 151 Xia Miao's Visit
Xia Miao didn't take a taxi, but walked towards Zhao Qishui's community carrying the vegetables.
I walked to the fruit shop downstairs and bought some more fruit.
A bag of vegetables and a bag of fruits were not light in weight, but Xia Miao was full of excitement, as if she was living with He Shu.
She thought that after she got married to He Shu, things would be like this: she would buy groceries and cook every day, and He Shu would wait for her at home.
She started climbing the stairs humming a song all the way. Zhao Qishui lived on the sixth floor, and Xia Miao was a little out of breath when she reached the third floor.
The thing was too heavy and she was wearing thick clothes, so she climbed up slowly again. When she reached the door, sweat appeared on her forehead.
Taking out the key, Xia Miao opened the door and stuck her head in to look. The house was very quiet, there was no one in the living room, and the doors of two rooms were closed. She didn't know which one was He Shu's room.
She closed the door carefully, trying not to make any noise, as she was preparing to give He Shu a surprise.
Putting the things on the mat in the hallway, Xia Miao took off her shoes, walked in stealthily, and listened for a while outside the two closed doors.
There was some movement in one of the rooms, it must be He Shu inside.
She gently turned the doorknob and peeked through the crack in the door. What she saw was a single bed covered with a blue sheet, and then she looked inside.
He Shu was sitting at his desk, facing the computer, and didn't notice at all that someone had returned home.
Xia Miao licked her lips, feeling her heart beating faster. She slowly pushed open the door and tiptoed behind He Shu.
This guy was so focused that he didn't notice anything. Xia Miao glanced at his computer screen and was dazzled by the densely packed codes.
Feeling playful, Xia Miao took a breath, and suddenly reached out to cover He Shu's eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Guess who I am?"
He Shu thought there was no one at home, but suddenly someone covered his eyes. He Shu trembled with fear.
Then I heard Xia Miao's voice and felt a little relieved, but my heart was still beating wildly.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xia Miao loosened her hand, put her arm around his shoulders from behind, and turned her head to look.
"Are you scared by me?"
He Shu nodded: "Why are you here?"
"I went to the car wash to see you. Uncle Zhao gave me the key."
Xia Miao looked at He Shu's face carefully: "Are you really scared? I'm sorry, I won't play like this next time."
He Shu took a deep breath, turned around, pulled her arm off his neck, and then held Xia Miao's hand.
I looked down and saw that Xia Miao was not wearing slippers, her snow-white socks were directly on the floor.
"I'll find you a pair of slippers. The floor is cold."
He Shu got up and went to the shoe cabinet outside the door to look for shoes . Xia Miao took the opportunity to look around He Shu's room.
It’s not big, but it has everything and is organized and clean.
He Shu took a pair of new slippers, bent down, asked Xia Miao to lift her feet, and helped her put them on. This action touched Xia Miao a little.
"He Shu, do you have a lot of homework?"
"Yeah, a lot. How about you?"
"We are fine. We have a lot of practical homework."
Xia Miao took off her coat and scarf. He Shu took them naturally and hung them on the hanger in the living room.
Then I saw some vegetables and fruits on the floor at the door, so I picked them up and put them in the kitchen.
"Did you buy anything?"
He Shu took out all the vegetables and saw that there was a piece of beef in addition to the vegetables. He packed them separately and put them in the refrigerator.
"Uncle Zhao bought the vegetables this morning, and I bought the fruit downstairs."
Xia Miao followed him to the kitchen and looked around while answering: "Uncle Zhao's house is really clean."
"Yeah." He Shu rummaged through the bag of fruit, which contained bananas, apples, and a bunch of grapes that looked like red agate.
"With so many things, why didn't you call me and let me go down to get them?"
Xia Miao smiled and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise, but it ended up scaring you."
He Shu smiled helplessly, took out the grapes, and found a basin to wash them: "Don't do this next time, it's really scary."
"Then why didn't you scream? I thought you weren't scared."
"Are you not afraid anymore after you scream?" In fact, He Shu didn't know when he started to have to control the expression on his face.
No matter how frightening something is, he won't show it immediately. He has a lot going on inside, but he can't show it.
He Shu picked the grapes one by one, washed them one by one, and then soaked them in water with a little salt.
I looked at my watch and it was almost time to make lunch, so I put on my apron again.
"Are you cooking? Uncle Zhao said he'll be back to cook."
"My cooking is better than my godfather's."
Xia Miao said with a smile: "Then I will taste it later."
"Well, go sit inside or watch some TV."
"No, I want to stay here with you."
Hearing this, He Shu ignored Xia Miao and started washing rice and cooking, then cutting beef, peeling potatoes, and washing vegetables.
Xia Miao leaned quietly against the kitchen door and watched He Shu cook meticulously.
Whenever He Shu focused on one thing, Xia Miao found him very charming...
Not only is she good-looking, she can also cook. Who can resist that?
When the beef was stewing in the pot and it was smelling delicious, Zhao Qishui came back. He gave the key to Xia Miao and could only knock on the door.
Xia Miao opened the door for Zhao Qishui, holding a scallion and called him "Uncle Zhao" sweetly.
"Oh, are you done? I can smell the aroma."
"He Shu is stewing beef."
Zhao Qishui entered the kitchen and saw He Shu cutting tomatoes. He smiled and said, "Beef stew with tomatoes? This dish is good."
He Shu nodded: "Put some more potato cubes in it."
Zhao Qishui smiled and went to the bathroom, washed his hands, then went back to the room and changed out of his work clothes.
This is a habit he developed after living with He Shu. In the past, when he came home, he would just lie down on the sofa no matter how dirty his clothes were.
Xia Miao was helping to peel some garlic and chop some onions in the kitchen. Zhao Qishui changed his clothes and took a look at her, but did not go in to disturb her.
Smiling, he boiled a pot of water to make tea.
After lunch was ready, Xia Miao helped to set the table, serve rice, and bring dishes. She was not shy and treated this place like her own home.
Zhao Qishui liked children like Xia Miao. Seeing that there was only beer and liquor at home, he hurried downstairs to buy some juice for Xia Miao.
It took a long time to cook, but the meal went quickly. After Zhao Qishui finished eating, he did not disturb the young couple at home. He changed into work clothes and was ready to leave.
"Godfather, can you come over to the store?"
"Sure, just forget about it and play with Xia Miao at home. If you get bored, you two can go out for a walk."
Then he said to Xia Miao: "Xia Miao , don't be polite in your uncle's house."
Xia Miao smiled and nodded. She didn't feel embarrassed when they were eating just now, but now that Uncle Zhao said that, she felt embarrassed.
After Zhao Qishui left, Xia Miao rushed to clean the table.
"He Shu, go do your homework, I'll clean up."
With Xia Miao here, he couldn't concentrate on his homework, so he just said it was okay.
He didn't let Xia Miao get involved. He cleared the table himself and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
"He Shu, I'm going to my grandmother's house the day after tomorrow and won't be back until after the Chinese New Year."
Xia Miao walked behind He Shu and put her arms around his waist: "Will you miss me?"
He Shu paused. Although they had slept in each other's arms and kissed each other before, He Shu still felt a little uncomfortable with such sudden intimate actions.
"Yes, I do."
The water in the sink was flowing loudly. He Shu stood there blankly, and his hands became less active as he washed the dishes.
Xia Miao put her face on He Shu's back, with only one sentence in her mind.
That means the years are peaceful and peaceful, with warmth and comfort.
She really wished time would stop like this...
