you are my Destiny

Chapter 8 I'm Just Your Favorite Cup of Coffee
The agarwood is a pair, and Fu Tinglan ordered Chen Siyuan to stand the pair on both sides of the doorpost. The natural shape is like the broken wings of two weird and twisted frightened birds, and they lie there like practicing.

Except for those babbling old songs, the environment of the dining room is almost empty. The sunlight from the courtyard quietly shines through the thick glass on the tea table with rosewood flowers. The lotus cup holder floats on it.

Everything is in harmony, except for my cartoon pajamas, which look unusually abrupt.Fu Tinglan is used to my usual rebellion, as if she didn't see my shocking appearance, she sat on the other side peacefully, pinched her unique white jade teacup with her fingertips, and first smelt it under her nose The fragrance of tea, and then covered his face and took a sip, the fingers touching the teacup were entwined with all kinds of elegance, as if exuding a faint fragrance.

The dining table just a short distance away is empty and there are no dishes arranged. This is the rule of my family. Before lunch every day, we have to drink tea for a while and eat a few fruits.There were only Fu Tinglan, Chen Siyuan and me in the seats, but the seniority was orderly, and Fu Tinglan would always sit in the main seat facing south.

I sat heavily on the side of the tea table, threw the slippers aside, put my feet on the seat, and curled up on the chair like a squirrel.Pick up the gaiwan and take a sip casually, the temperature is neither cold nor hot, it is actually a specially brewed stomach nourishing tea, after taking it, the stomach feels warm, although it is not as uncomfortable as before, but I feel hungry Feeling flustered, I think if I hadn't been so stubborn and drank the glass of milk by the bedside, I wouldn't have let myself be so embarrassed and empty.

Xu Chen Siyuan saw that my face was not good. Today, the fruit in front of me was replaced with a small dish of lotus cake and a small dish of pistachios. I unceremoniously picked up the flower cake with a fork and threw it directly into When I put it in my mouth, my taste buds were suddenly satisfied, and my head was not so dizzy.

Fu Tinglan's usual peaceful expression seemed a little more weird today, her eyes were complicated and subtly suppressed, but this change was quickly suppressed by her, and I even thought her gloomy expression when I first entered the room was my own. I read it wrong.She didn't give me any disgusting glances, and she didn't immediately call the nanny like before, telling me not to put a fork on me anymore, because Freebai likes to use her hands.I tried so hard to get her attention, but I was so ignored by her, which made my mind full of chaos. It seems that I have been away from her for six years from college to graduate school, and I really still can't please her. Milk seems to be just my own heart.Six years is just a fleeting moment for her life, including life and death, she has long been used to it.

At this time, I don't know the truth about the ancient coins that Fu Tinglan has been looking for for a hundred years. She will also face the biggest test in her life. She disappeared for a few days to investigate new clues. Very restless.If it wasn't for having dinner with me last night, she wouldn't have rushed back, and when Chen Siyuan took me away from the restaurant, Fu Tinglan was waiting for me in the car, but I was too drunk.For the details that I care about, of course, Fu Tinglan did everything by herself, but I didn't know it all the time.

There was an extra account book in Fu Tinglan's hand, and the nanny put her hands in front of her body, standing on one side cautiously.

"Mr. Fu, here are the ingredients, dishes and accounts for today's lunch, please have a look."

Chen Siyuan arranged the meals, and sat on the remaining chair beside the coffee table, watching me deliberately poke the pistachios until they made a heart-piercing noise, a warm smile appeared on his face, he grabbed a handful and helped me peel a few , placed in a small empty tray by my hand.

"Okay, let's serve."

The end of the voice was mellow and long, winding around the ears like continuous filaments.Fu Tinglan has a kind of magical power, she has never been coquettish, but it is indescribable that it can make people fall to the bottom, neither happy nor angry.

Fu Tinglan handed the account book to Chen Siyuan, and Chen Siyuan took the pen from the nanny and skillfully signed the account book.

The sunlight changes with time, and a waxy cloud drifts past and casts light and shadow.Fu Tinglan was against the light, her figure seemed to be surrounded by haze, a small incense burner in her hand, and she played with the agarwood casually with a silver spoon. palm, fingers trembling slightly.

"Mr. Fu, it's time to eat." Chen Siyuan pulled away the chair from the host and stood aside.

Fu Tinglan got up gently and sat on the red sandalwood armchair, tapped the table with her index finger, "Go to the table, Fu Ruibai."

I lazily climbed up from the chair, kicked over the flip-flopped slippers with my bare foot, put my foot in it sloppily, dragged it on the floor and moved it to the chair by the dining table.

The table where we dine is not too big, it is a red cedar round table, only one of the surrounding seats is made of red sandalwood, which is the one that Fu Tinglan just sat on, and the remaining two are red cedar chairs .

There are four small dishes on the round table, each of which is not my favorite.I like strong Sichuan cuisine, but she only likes light and simple dishes. The lunch at home on weekends is always the same, a small plate of salted white duck, fragrant roasted tofu, clear vegetable soup and a vegetarian fried pea sprouts. Today I have an extra bowl of matsutake soup and a small bowl of porridge with wolfberry and shouwu meal.

"Siyuan, you too."

Chen Siyuan filled a bone china cup with coffee and put it in Fu Tinglan's hand, and sat respectfully on another chair that belonged to him.

She picked up a piece of duck meat with her long serving chopsticks, and paused for a few seconds between the plates, making me think for a few times that she might be trying to pick up food for others. On the plate in her hand, watching her nibbling gently, I feel like I am crazy, I shouldn't have such expectations.

I gnawed on the duck wings deliberately and exaggeratedly, and soon my heart flew away.When eating with Fu Tinglan, I often pass the time in a distracted way. She likes to be quiet, but I can't make myself quiet at all. The best way to adapt to the depressing atmosphere is to isolate yourself from the world. I definitely don't Excuse her, but my brain cells are running fast, especially today is my big day, and I can finally bring my baby home. The bonus for the three months of work was so hard to come by. My brain cells were excited, but I didn’t hear Fu Tinglan calling me while I was excited.

Our family pays attention to silence during meals, she seldom speaks, and her voice is so soft, she breaks the rules and calls me by my name.

"Fu Ruibai..."

I don't know how many times she called me, but after Chen Siyuan deliberately coughed lightly, the tone of the sentence I heard was still light.Only then did I realize that the two people on the opposite side had finished their meal and put down their bowls and chopsticks. Fu Tinglan was looking at me with no warmth in her clear eyes, and her hands seemed to want to grab me away.

"What strange people have you come into contact with recently?"

I shook my head patiently.Probably in her eyes, all kinds of people are suspicious, but in my eyes, only she is the strangest. In order to hide her secret, she tried her best to move around. Why is she always in the dominant position? status.

"Let's quit your job for now."

Listening to her unhurried tone, I was so irritated that I couldn't sit still. I don't know whether this emotion is because she treats me like a marionette, or whether I have hoped in my heart that she cares I think we must have encountered a bottleneck period in the relationship between mother and daughter at that time. I felt aggrieved thinking about the cup of warm milk in my heart, and the emotions that had been buried for many years broke out.

"Pretend to care about me, aren't you tired?"

Feeling frustrated, I dropped the chopsticks in my hand, patted the table, and I got up from the chair, walked up to her angrily and yelled, "My brother wanted to move out of nowhere, and now you asked me to resign, What did i do wrong?"

Fu Tinglan only tilted her head slightly, her elegant face seemed to be thinking seriously, "It's only for a while."

"No matter what, I will not resign. I just became a regular with my own efforts, and I have never relied on you." When I said this, I felt a layer of cold sweat on my back, but it didn't stop me from going on, "I I don’t understand, what things can’t be faced head-on, what are you afraid of? Do you want me to hide like you for the rest of my life? If it’s for yourself, don’t worry, I won’t be your drag. Said he cared about me..."

"From your birth to the present, you have spent a total of 560 yuan, not counting your food and clothing at home after work and the antiques you smashed." Fu Tinglan pinched the bone china with her left hand cup, got up and sat back on the tea table, leaned back, rested his right hand on the back of the chair, every movement was extremely elegant.

I looked at Fu Tinglan impatiently, with an evil smile on the corner of my mouth, "Sure enough, you only see money in your eyes." I couldn't calm down about all this, why was she still like that when I was already so sad? With an unchanging expression, I could see that she was hiding from me again. I couldn't suppress my emotions, and I followed her and grabbed her right hand, "Since you were young, you didn't hug me or let me touch you. I don't even know the temperature of your hand, so I just let you hate me!"

The pupils of Fu Tinglan's eyes dilated slightly, and what I saw in those eyes was not disgust, but a little panic. She suddenly threw away my hand, seemingly calm, but her hand was trembling slightly.

"You really hate me. Am I really your daughter..." My heart, which had been suppressed for a long time, was uncontrollably like a mouthful of blood. I staggered and unconsciously walked to the dining table. The door of the living room, "I have grown up, I am no longer your marionette, I have my own life, I don't need you to worry about my affairs from now on, and I will never resign, I will pay back the money slowly For you."

Chen Siyuan stood up and chased to the door, with a very distressed caring look in his eyes, trying to comfort me, "Toffee, it's not what you think, I can't explain it to you now, but you have to believe that Mr. Fu is doing it for your own good. She loves you, today she is for..."

Fu Tinglan raised her hand, Chen Siyuan stopped in her tracks, and at the same time stopped the consolation in progress.

I really hated Fu Tinglan's aloof appearance, and even more hated Chen Siyuan's noncommittal attitude. I looked at the bone china cup that Fu Tinglan was still holding tightly in his left hand, and raised my chin lightly, "Love? What am I? I'm just It’s just your favorite cup of coffee, not even a room full of gadgets!”

I don't know how destructive my evil sneer will be, but this is what she gave me, but she only has coldness, while I am more resentful.

Although there are countless family banquets that broke up unhappy, it was the first time I saw Fu Tinglan's eyebrows huddling together, and the sound of the bone china cup falling to the ground after I left, resounding through the courtyard Every space in the space, thinking about her complexion today is not good-looking, it seems that it is not because of me.And I don't know, because I suddenly touched her body, her left hand felt like it was burning, and she resisted the pain until I left before letting go of the bone china cup.Fu Tinglan spread out her palm, and the bloody light in the shape of an ancient coin appeared in the palm of her hand, just like when she suddenly died and came back to life decades ago.

The house was too quiet, and only my heavy resentment was left. The dog lay on my feet and gently rubbed against my ankle, and I suddenly lost most of my anger. Seconds should do something.I stood barefoot on the floor of the bedroom, took off my pajamas, and stood naked in front of the mirror. I, without glasses, seemed to be reproduced by Fu Tinglan, which I couldn’t get rid of no matter what. Why are there two people who are so similar in the world, who are we!
I couldn't hold back my tears and let the tears flow down my face like a traveler after a long journey. I don't know how long after that, Zhuang Hanhan called.

"Little Baibai, did you have a drink yesterday? Aren't you going to take your baby home today? Why don't you get up?"

I wiped away the tears on my face, bit my lip hard, controlled my crying and said, "Let's go!"
