long-term marriage

Chapter 10

It was seven o'clock in the evening when Qiao Zhi got off work. The summer was long and the sky had just turned dark. As soon as she walked downstairs, she saw Gu Yechen leaning on the car and listening to the phone.

Qiao Zhi saw that he wasn't as dazed as she was when she saw him in the past, but she was a little surprised. Seeing her coming, Gu Yechen waved her lightly and continued talking to the person on the phone.

Qiao Zhi obediently stood aside and waited, looking around boredly, the breeze was blowing gently, and the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of summer.

This time happened to be the time to come out to enjoy the shade after dinner, walking the dog, watching the children, dancing swords, dancing, how lively the neighborhood was.

Qiao Zhi looked around, and her eyes finally fell on Gu Yechen involuntarily. She was wearing a dark blue shirt with the sleeves pulled up to her forearm. On her left arm was a black suit jacket. The exposed skin was not like that. The wheat color of a few days is a bit fair.

"Wait, let me look for it..." Gu Yechen said, wanting to rummage through the pockets of his suit, but it was inconvenient to hold the phone in one hand.

Qiao Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to take the suit jacket from his arm, Gu Yechen nodded to her, then reached out from the suit jacket and took out a piece of paper to read to the person opposite.

Qiao Zhi looked at the suit and it became more and more familiar. Gu Yechen hung up the phone, and saw Qiao Zhi staring at his suit without turning his eyes. She was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Zhi suddenly raised her head and smiled, "It's nothing."

Gu Yechen glanced at the suit jacket in Qiao Zhi's hand, and chuckled knowingly, "You want to know who won, parents?"

Qiao Zhi turned her head to look at him, a little hesitant, "Then who won?" Gu's father and Gu's mother made a bet before Gu Yechen came back, and each bought a set of clothes for Gu Yechen, and whoever Gu Yechen wore first would be the one. Whoever wins, the loser will have the other party paint bastards on their faces. She is really curious about who the final winner of this boring bet is.

Gu Yechen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What do you think?"

Qiao Zhi rolled her eyes a few times, "Mom?" Gu's father bought a blue suit for Gu Yechen, and Gu's mother bought a black suit for Gu Yechen, which was his suit. For the first few days, he wore casual clothes Convince, could it be that mother won?

Gu Yechen smiled softly, opened the back seat and took out a big bag, turned to look at her, "Haven't you eaten yet?"

Qiao Zhi was taken aback, "Huh?"

Gu Yechen raised the bag in Yang's hand, "You solve my food and clothing, and I answer your doubts, okay?"

Qiao Zhi was startled, and then nodded with a bit of a smile, "Okay."

Gu Yechen had everything in this big bag, and he almost brought the whole supermarket back. Qiao Zhi looked at the pile of vegetables, and asked him from the kitchen, "What do you want to eat?"

Gu Yechen was standing in front of the bookcase flipping through the old books, and answered without raising his head, "What will you do?"

"I should know a little bit. How about making a steamed eggplant, fried minced meat with hot and sour beans, and then adding a hot and sour fish?" It's just a question, but Qiao Zhi has already made a decision.

Gu Yechen put down the book in his hand and walked over, "I like them all, of course."

Qiao Zhi blushed, turned around and went to wash the vegetables.

Gu Yechen stood at the door of the kitchen, with his arms propped against the wall, "Do you want me to help?" He asked this question symbolically, and he expected that she would not ask him to help.

"The kitchen is too small for two people to leave, just wait and eat." Qiao Zhi put the dishes she likes into a light blue basin, then picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board and began to chop the vegetables.

The little woman walking around in the small kitchen, wearing a lavender floral apron, her long hair was loosely tied behind her head, and one or two black hairs fell off her fair face from time to time, she was more beautiful than four When he saw her years ago, he gained a lot of weight, but he was still a little thin. With a height of 1.6 meters and three meters, it seemed that he weighed more than 90 kilograms at most, and his slender waist could be easily grasped by his big hands. .

Qiao Zhi turned her back to the kitchen door, but she also felt a gaze fixed on her body. She only felt that her face was hot, her hands and feet were a little disobedient, and the eggplant had been peeled until only a thin stick remained.

Qiao Zhi took a deep breath and turned around to face Gu Yechen. Gu Yechen was taken aback by her sudden movement.

"...Why don't you go to the living room and wait? I can't cook well when you are here." Qiao Zhi's voice was flat, trying not to let her voice tremble.

Gu Yechen was stunned, and when he saw Qiao Zhi's familiar face, he was also a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I'm going out now."

After Gu Yechen left, Qiao Zhi let out a breath, and slapped her face with her little hand.

The meal was ready, Qiao Zhi opened the kitchen door, and saw the person sitting on the small sofa reading a book at a glance. He didn't turn on the headlights, but turned on the lily-shaped wall lamp on the wall. Under the yellowish light, there was a soft light, which suddenly gave Qiao Zhi a warm illusion.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Gu Yechen raised his eyes and met Qiao Zhi's slightly dazed eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's time to eat."

His voice was deep and seductively hoarse. The TV was on and a lengthy Hong Kong movie with a total of [-] episodes was playing. In the play, the main character’s family was sitting together for a New Year’s Eve dinner, and the background music was sung in Cantonese. "The route of going home is covered with happy scenes, and the farther and farther you go, when you are tired, there is always this door at home, which opens for me. There is a kind of love in the world without saying a word, so flexible that it makes the iron tree grow flowers..."

Listening to the familiar song, watching the man she had only met a few times walking towards her step by step, at this moment Qiao Zhixin missed a few beats, for some reason, she suddenly felt like she was at home , as if taking a sip of steaming hot chocolate in the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is warm from head to toe, extremely comfortable, something she has never experienced in these years.

Gu Yechen ate three bowls of rice, Qiao Zhi secretly patted her chest, thankfully she cooked more rice, otherwise she would be ashamed.

Seeing Gu Yechen eating happily, Qiao Zhi was also happy in her heart, and the corners of her mouth could not help but slightly raised.

After dinner, Gu Yechen insisted on washing the dishes regardless of Qiao Zhi's obstruction, but Qiao Zhi couldn't stop him, so he had to let him go. In Qiao Zhi's imagination, he should always be a pampered rich man, even though he knew he was going to be a soldier , but she still couldn't connect him with the images of soldiers in camouflage uniforms.

But looking at him at this moment, he cleaned the bowls and chopsticks quickly and swiftly, and his movements were methodical, probably a little more skilled than her.

After Gu Yechen washed the dishes, he wiped the kitchen with a rag. In less than half an hour, the whole kitchen was restored to its previous cleanliness, and he even sorted out the things he bought. Qiao Zhi really admired him.

After washing the dishes, the two sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Qiao Zhi stared at the TV absently, her little hands were tightly clasped together because of nervousness.

Gu Yechen was still flipping through the book he was flipping through before, reading it with great interest, and he didn't seem to want to leave.

Qiao Zhi looked at her watch, then at the person sitting calmly, and mustered up her courage to cough lightly.

Gu Yechen slowly raised his head, looked at her with black eyes, Qiao Zhi straightened her waist, and said softly, "I said I wanted to talk to you a few days ago, since today is such a coincidence, why not tonight..."

Gu Yechen put down the book in his hand, not surprised, crossed his legs, put one hand on his lap, and rested the other on the back of the sofa, his whole body showed a comfortable sitting posture.

"Okay, tell me."

Seeing Gu Yechen so relaxed, Qiao Zhi's nervousness gradually relaxed, and she curled up in the corner of the sofa with her arms around her legs. This posture made her feel safe and comfortable.
