I met you, I fell in love

Chapter 6 Heartbeat, do you like it?
In this way, the problem of the house was solved, everything was packed in Wenshi the next day, and a large amount of rent was refunded by the landlady.

Knowing that Wen Shi had found a suitable house, the old lady finally showed a happy expression on her face. After all, she had to drive the cute little girl away, and she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

She was going to move, so Chu Jingxi naturally asked for leave to help. When she came over, she met the old lady, and when she heard that Wen Shi was staying at Chu Jingxi's house, the old lady applauded repeatedly.

Wen Shi smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to explain it, but it was Chu Jingxi who looked very natural.

The room assigned to Wen Shi was on the first floor, a little away from the master bedroom.Moving here is not as free as living alone in a big house, especially because there is no separate bathroom in the room, and you have to go upstairs to wash up. This is a bit of a headache for Wen Shi.

Running back and forth is not a problem, the key is that the person living with him is a man.

When Wen's mother contacted Wen Shi earlier, she happened to meet her to drink and buy drunk. She was very worried at first, but fortunately Chu Jingxi called later to explain the situation and reassure her.When I called Wen again later, it was already two days later when she moved into Chu Jingxi's house smoothly.

Wen's family is very traditional, Wen's father and Wen's mother are both professors, and they are not as open-minded as his best friend Chi Yiran's parents who are in business, so Wen Shi did not dare to tell them that he is now living with Chu Jingxi, but just said The problem with the house has been solved, don't worry.

In middle and high school, boys and girls are easy to fall in love and develop ignorant feelings. Since then, Wen's father and Wen's mother have been supervising Wen Shi all the time, and will secretly rummage through her schoolbag and bookcase when she is asleep, even if it is a piece of paper. A small note, when you wake up the next day, you will be dragged to the study for education.

Later, when I went to university, every time I went home during the holidays, Mother Wen would remind Wen that girls must know how to protect themselves when they are alone, and not be too casual.Although Mother Wen likes Chu Jingxi, it doesn't mean she can accept the fact that her daughter lives in his house.

He faltered during the chat, and after finishing the call, he ran directly to the next door, jumped in front of Chu Jingxi and put his hips on his hips to warn him not to slip up.

Unlike her, Chu Jingxi's mother told him that if there is a girl he likes, he might as well take it home and have a look.When he graduated from university, he asked him if he had someone he liked to get engaged to. When it was a long time since he was in a relationship, he pushed her husband to use various methods to test whether his son's orientation was normal.

From the ideological point of view, Chu Jingxi lives in a relatively open environment, obviously not as cautious and careful as Wen Shi.But when he respects Wen, as long as she doesn't want to, he won't force her.

"So! You're living with your blind date now? My God!"

"Lin Wei'an! Hush! Hush! Be quiet! Don't bark!"

Wen Shi grabbed the quilt and covered the tablet, like a thief prying around the door, for fear that Chu Jingxi would hear her best friend's loud voice.

"Wen Wen, don't you wear headphones for video?"

Chi Yiran turned over with his mobile phone in his arms. Because of the jet lag, the three of them made a video together, and one of them must be sleepy.

He didn't want to join the chat at first, after all, Lin Weian's sprinkling of dog food on weekdays was already at the level of a critical strike, and if there was an extra temperature, Chi Yiran was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

Helplessly, I couldn't resist a heart of gossip, and finally gave in.

Wen Shi told the ins and outs to the two girlfriends, so detailed that even Chu Jingxi's tone of speech at that time was imitated vividly.

Lin Weian didn't respond, and Chi Yiran rolled around holding the quilt by himself: "This dog food is so sour that I can't stand it."

What year is this dog food?Wen Shi: "..."

A man's hand appeared in Lin Wei'an's camera. It was so beautiful that Chi Yiran focused instantly, drooling and shouting obsequiously: "God, god, are you ranked?"

Wen Shi: "..."

"No, I'm a little busy."

A deep voice came from a distance, followed by Lin Weian's arrogant laughter: "Old Chi, he is helping me score points and has no time to talk to you."

"Lin Wei'an!"

"Hey, hey, hey." Wen Shi had to interrupt the two people who were about to quarrel, pointed to himself, and looked at the ceiling weakly, "Aren't I the protagonist of this video? Why are you hanging me out while chatting?" On the side?"

"Seriously, do you like that little customs office?" He clearly said Chu Jingxi's name a hundred and eighty times formally, but Lin Weian still liked to call him Xiaoguan, as if reminding Wen Shi of those days all the time. I have stumbled at customs.

"Like it?" Wen Shi raised her eyebrows and shook her head without hesitation. She didn't forget how the two of them were facing each other before.Like is such a serious matter, how can it be said so easily.

"I've been wondering, did he think I was very stupid the first moment he saw me in the small black room." Trying to recall the scene of meeting Chu Jingxi for the first time, "My English is stumbling, when I opened the box, The cartoon underwear is on top. Before I left, I tiptoed to argue with him, and by the way, when I first heard his voice, I was numb for a while."

Chi Yiran held his cheeks and pondered seriously for a while before answering: "It's really a bit stupid."

"Maybe it's you who moved him. Didn't he take the initiative to express to his family that he wants to continue to develop with you?"

On this issue, Lin Weian also discussed with his own man, and Zhong Muyuan also said that if a man is not interested in that woman, he will never make unnecessary expressions.

"No, no, I haven't given up on suspecting that his motives are impure!"

Chi Yiran subconsciously rolled his eyes: "My eldest lady, is your dream of being Sherlock Holmes not yet over? You've made it so embarrassing for other people to just fall in love at first sight, so you find that there's nothing? They're all living in his house. .”

"Hey hey, I still like to hear the words love at first sight." Wen Shi flipped his hair, putting on a look that he thought he was a goddess, "According to what you said, I should believe in my own charm Right. After observing for so long, I really didn't find any clues, could it be that he was simply conquered by my appearance?"

"Hey, hey, muay thai warning!" Chi Yiran raised his fist, and couldn't bear Wen Shi's stupid look, "I still have design drafts to catch up, so I don't have time to chat with you, after all, people with peach blossoms are not I'm leaving." After finishing speaking, she really quit the group chat directly, leaving Wen Shi and Lin Weian behind, look at me, and I will look at you.

"Anyway, Wen Wen, you have to take care of yourself."

Lin Weian's words inspired Wen Shi to some extent. After the video ended, she threw off the quilt and ran out of bed. She opened the door and looked around without even wearing shoes.

The light in the study is on, and Chu Jingxi is still awake at this late hour, is she going to make a glass of milk and send it over?
No, no.

Wen Shi stepped back, closed the door and leaned back thinking for a while. If she knocked on the door to deliver milk at this time, she might be misunderstood.In terms of momentum, she relied on her good Chinese and was able to overwhelm Chu Jingxi. This advantage must be maintained, and she should not be flirted away by him in a few words. Beauty is nothing, and those high customs taxes are her most painful point.

Thinking of this, Wen Shi climbed onto the bed angrily, rolled up the quilt and went straight to sleep.

The life of cohabitation officially began, and Wen Shi fulfilled his promise and began to teach Chu Jingxi Chinese.

She really worked hard and asked Lin Weian to help her choose a set of elementary school Chinese textbooks on Taobao overnight, and sent them to the United States along with the exercises.

As for the postage, of course Chu Jingxi undertook it.

Think about it, when I was a child, one of the most common things I did when I came home from school was to hold a matt workbook and practice stroke by stroke.There are too many homework assignments, which delays the time for playing, and the capable friends have also practiced the unique skill of holding two pens in one hand, which Wen Shi did not learn.

Sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, she giggled while flipping through the Chinese textbook. She used to think that she had a rare headache and had to recite every text, but now it seems that she is too childish to speak.

"If a child has grown up, he has to say goodbye to his mother and make his home in the world. Cows and horses have feet, birds have wings, how can plants rely on travel? Dandelion mother prepared a parachute and gave it to her doll. As long as there is a light wind After a gentle blow, the children set off on the wind."

As soon as Chu Jingxi entered the door, she heard Wen Shi's voice and couldn't understand the content. She thought she was going to participate in some school recitation competition.

"Mother cocklebur has a good way. She puts the children on armor with spikes. As long as they hang on the animal's fur, the children can go to the fields and valleys. Mother pea has a better way. She lets the pods bask in the sun,' slap ’, the pods explode, and the children bounce away from their mothers.”

Wen Shi read aloud with full of emotion, even when he read the words "bean pods exploded", there were body movements showing that his whole body was full of drama, and he was so absorbed in playing that he didn't even notice a person standing behind him, waiting for her to finish reading book, I heard a laughing voice from above my head——

"What? Still reading fairy tale books?"

There are still quite a lot of illustrations in the textbook, but the drawings are a little childish. Putting down the briefcase in his hand, Chu Jingxi walked around to the sofa and sat down, and picked up the large stack of textbooks that Wen Shi put aside.

"What are these?"

"Your textbook." Wen Feng pretended to be serious, and there was only a pointer in his hand, "From today on, every day when you come back from get off work, you have to recite a text with me, and you have to copy all the words and phrases at night. Ten times."

Just like when she was in elementary school, the Chinese teacher assigned her homework.

Chu Jingxi raised his brows, put his fingertips on the five small characters in the center of the cover, and looked at Wen Shi in disbelief: "Second grade?"

"What? Do you have an opinion?" Wen Shi put his hands on his hips.

With a three-point smile in her eyes, she held the book she was reading just now, and asked the "primary school student" in front of her if she understood what she was reading, and the latter shook his head.

"That's fine, you can't even reach the level of the second grade, what do you want?"

Chu Jingxi: "..."

As for the house, he took the initiative to invite her to live in it. Although the relationship between the two of them was not so good before, but with the cheap rent and this friendship, Wen Shi thought, she should pay attention to the favor after learning about it.That's why he was so serious about helping Chu Jingxi make up Chinese. Considering that he may not even know what the initials and finals are, the first-grade textbooks are also available.

"I'm very busy. I have a lot of courses and homework every week. You should cherish it when I find time to teach you." All I had to do was find a small pointer to pat on the sofa.

Seeing Wen Shi being so serious, Chu Jingxi pursed her lips, touched the bridge of her nose and nodded.

Wen Shi had no experience in teaching Chinese, so he simply read the pinyin and words a few times, and then threw the book to Chu Jingxi to let him recite the text and understand it by himself.Wasn't that how English was learned at the beginning?After reading an article, it takes a long time just to look up the words, and the annotations of words that I don’t know are full of a whole page, and I will write them down after reading and memorizing.

In the study room, a man was sitting at the desk reading a primary school text, although the pronunciation was not very standard, but he could hear what he was reading.The other one was nestled cross-legged on the soft sofa, holding a tablet computer and didn't know what news he was reading, showing a foolish smile from time to time.

After closing the textbook, Chu Jingxi looked at Wen Shi for a while, and found that she was completely absorbed in the tablet computer in her hand. She silently grabbed the cigarette and lighter on the table, got up and walked to the window sill.

"finish watching?"

Hearing the sound, Wen Shi raised his head, just in time for Chu Jingxi's action of lighting up, without saying a word, dropped the tablet in his hand, ran forward barefoot, snatched the cigarette case and hid it behind him: "No Smoking is allowed."

Chu Jingxi squinted at her: "I've already memorized the words and read the text."

"That's not okay. Since we live under the same roof, I think some rules should be established." Wen Shi helped the frame on the bridge of his nose, "I don't like the smell of cigarettes. If you want to smoke, You have to go outside the gate. I mean, the gate."

"The balcony doesn't work either? Open the windows and let the air circulate, so there won't be any smell of smoke."

"No way." Wen Shi put his hands on his hips, as determined as a policeman who was carrying out a drunk driving test on the highway, never letting up at all, and showing no sympathy at all.

Chu Jingxi took the lighter back with a wry smile and scratched her hair.

This was the first time he was beaten to death by a girl.But in Wen Shi's heart, he didn't feel timid at all, who made Chu Jingxi so tough on the matter of purchasing agents before.

She was just tit for tat.

After checking the "homework", Wen Shi raised his chin and nodded: "Well... you did a good job, you made progress, you made progress. That's it for today, good night." Feeling oily on his feet, he wanted to run.

"Wait." Chu Jingxi stretched out his hand, easily grabbed Wen Shi's hoodie and pulled her back, like carrying a piggy in a funny video on Weibo, "Did you forget something?"

In yesterday's dream, she was still shivering under the control of dense English words, but after being reminded by Chu Jingxi, that familiar numbness swept over her.

Is it too late to lie down on the floor and pretend to be dead?
Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse.Wen Shi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a bright smile on his face: "What? I'm still busy, I have homework to write, if you have any questions, you can mark them for tomorrow ask me."

"Tutoring English." Chu Jingxi didn't change his face, and said softly, "You, don't try to run away."

Five minutes later, the protagonist of the desk was replaced by another person. Facing a brand-new set of IELTS questions, Wen Shi felt that the entire second half of the night was dark.

"This man really has a strong desire for revenge!"

Flipping through a few pages casually, looking at the dense English words and practice questions, Wen Shi really wanted to tear them up and walk away: "It's so painful to live like the eve of the college entrance examination..."

Sure enough, the boss had a strong desire for revenge, and his methods were cruel.Biting the cap of her pen and thinking back, she regretted not stopping Chu Jingxi from smoking.

Two hours later, I finally finished writing the exercise questions, and closed the exercise booklet with a "snap". With dark circles under my eyes, Wen Shi dragged his weary pace back to the bedroom, and fell headlong on the bed. I took a shower before making up lessons in the study.

"Why do I feel that your complexion is very bad recently?"

It's rare to have time to video, and as soon as it came up, Chi Yiran, who was wearing a mask and drinking a small wine, found something wrong with Wen Shi - his face was earthy, and there were dark circles under his eyes.

"Hey, did you steal Chu Jingxi's underwear in the middle of the night?"

"What nonsense?"

Chi Yiran just made a joke, but was yelled back by Wen Shi, and tested with the twitching corner of his mouth: "Which part of my words are you annoyed? Chu... Jing... Xi?"

If you have to lengthen the ending of the name, and add that very provocative little eyebrow and eye movements, you are a good girlfriend after all, and you are so courageous at this time.

"Chi Yiran, if you don't speak well, I'll hang up the video." When Wen Shi mentioned someone, it was like eating dynamite, ready to blow up a bunker at any time.

"Don't, why are you so angry? Today is not a special day." Chi Yiran didn't dare to play anymore, put down the wine glass in his hand and adjusted his sitting posture, not forgetting to keep the mask on his face, "Who messed with you? I Seeing that you are in a bad state, and your homework is too heavy?"

"No..." Wen Shi frowned, "I may have met my old enemy in this life."

Tit for tat, meet on a narrow road.

Chi Yiran giggled, listening to what happened to Wen Shi these days, he had the feeling of going back to his third year of high school and studying hard: "At that time, if Chu Jingxi was studying in China, the two of you could still perform 'Geng Gengyu' Huai's drama."

What "geng Geng Yu Huai", Chu Jingxi's appearance can be compared with Haoran's younger brother who occupies her computer wallpaper, mobile phone wallpaper, WeChat chat background?

Wen Shi couldn't help sneering: "Sarcasm for me?"

"Don't dare."

It felt that Wen Shi was not in a good mood when talking about Chu Jingxi, Chi Yiran cleverly changed the subject, and after talking about other things, his attention fell on the small pimple on Wen Shi's cheek.

"Did you not listen to me and make a mask before going to bed? I think your skin is not in good condition these days, why don't you try the one I've been using recently?"

A woman who wants to please herself, Wen Shi is so lazy, and she doesn't do skin care or makeup, it really broke Chi Yiran's heart.

"I beg your little sister, how can you say that you are also someone who has been popular on the Internet for a while. Besides, now you are still writing short stories to tease fans, can you treat yourself a little bit? Don't let fans feel that you are a fan. Big man."

"Hey, who are you talking about a big guy who picks his feet?"

A young girl who was just as young as a flower was described as a big guy who picked her feet, Wen Shi subconsciously touched her face, wasn't she just lazy and didn't take care of skin for a few days?There's nothing wrong with a woman living a delicate life, but right now she's living like a senior in high school, where's the time to torment herself.

"Is it better to live a refined life?"

Under Chi Yiran's nagging, Wen Shi took out a mask from the cabinet, saw that she was still planning to supervise, so he had to get up to wash his face, then sat in front of the camera and applied it obediently.

"That's right, dress yourself up well, and I will supervise you every day from tomorrow on."

Wen Shi: "..."

What's the difference between this and Chu Jingxi?
One stared at her every day and refused to let her be a purchasing agent, and the other stared at her every day for skin management. Human, how can there be no freedom?

"But speaking of it, Chu Jingxi's doing this is also helpful to you. Improving your language skills is one of the skills you must have to survive abroad. Imagine that if your parents travel to the United States in the future, you open your mouth and say nothing." How embarrassing is it that you can’t even tell? Strict teachers produce high-level apprentices. Besides, if he abuses you, you will fight back. Didn’t you teach others Chinese? Why are you being abused like this?”

It seems to make sense.

After all, she was a good best friend, and Wen Shi's originally depressed mood was gradually relieved with a few easy words. When the lights were turned off and ready to go to sleep, the sorrow between her brows had disappeared.

Later, for two consecutive weeks, Wen Shi would spare some time every day to help Chu Jingxi improve her Chinese. In front of the rent, she became a cheap labor force.Of course, Chu Jingxi did not neglect to supervise her English. Whenever she had time, she would still help her check her homework and improve her oral expression skills.

Feeling that the relationship between the two has gradually eased, and they are no longer confronting Maimang as before, Chu Jingxi tentatively asked Wen Shi again if he could play the piano.

He didn't forget how he was attracted to her when he first met.

"I heard that you have learned musical instruments."

"Ok?"

Wen Shi closed the computer and began to tidy up the stationery on the desktop. Facing Chu Jingxi's question, he didn't take it to heart, and replied perfunctorily: "I studied it as a hobby for a while when I was young, but then I gave up."

Hearing this, Chu Jingxi's eyes lit up: "What instrument is it?"

"Are you wondering what this is for?"

Although she asked this question, Wen Shi still told Chu Jingxi honestly that when she finished answering the word piano, someone couldn't hide the corners of her mouth, stood up and reached out to ruffle her hair.

"What are you doing?" Wen Shi covered his head and hid back.

Why is it like rubbing a pet dog...

"No, I just feel that learning this is very..." He held back for a long time before he came up with a suitable word, "My Fair Lady."

Looking at the person in front of him inexplicably, Wen Shi couldn't figure out why Chu Jingxi was so excited about this topic, and the smile on the corner of his mouth almost hung on his ears.

"Did you perform on stage before the school celebration?"

"you saw it?"

Wen Shi didn't think too much about it. At first, he thought that Chu Jingxi had seen her Weibo, so he asked this question. After all, there was such a big commotion on Weibo before, and he knew it was not a big deal.

But this is not what Chu Jingxi paid attention to. He stood up straight, cleared his throat, lowered his head, and glanced at her with a half-smile: "Do you still remember what happened that night?"

Wen Shi paused, staring at Chu Jingxi warily: "What are you talking about?"

"I……"

"Chu Jingxi."

Wen Shi interrupted him, frowned, and his long eyelashes trembled: "Don't just tell me some weird things, and we'd better keep a little distance."

Being too close, the air felt a little unnatural and hot, for fear that Chu Jingxi would say something confusing, Wen Shi would finish his sentence, and run away without waiting for him to respond.

In the next few days, whenever she saw Chu Jingxi, she would slip away, or her eyes would be dodged, and her speech would stutter like a stutter. God knows that Chu Jingxi has been in her dreams recently!
Once or twice, Chu Jingxi didn't take it to heart, but it was like this for several days in a row, and he felt a little uncomfortable.The initial temptation was just to draw out what they had met at the ball, who knew that Wen Shi would resist so much.I thought to myself, I must have a good talk when I find a time, and I must explain clearly if there is any misunderstanding.

In the middle of the night, as soon as he came back from overtime work, Chu Jingxi noticed the floor lamp in the corner of the living room. These days, although Wen Shi avoided talking to him, he never forgot to keep the lamp for him every night.

This kind of situation has never happened in the past 20 years. No matter how much you have experienced outside, how tired and cold you are, when you come back and see the soft yellow light, you will always have the magical feeling of being tired and wrapped in warmth.

After Chu Jingxi changed into her slippers, she put her coat on the sofa and looked up at the location of the guest room. I wonder if she is asleep?
Carrying the puffs bought from the cake shop on the road with his left hand, he went upstairs slowly. When he saw the light projected through the crack of the door, Chu Jingxi's brows and eyes softened.

However, just as he approached and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, the light went out.

No matter how stupid he is, he can still find out that Wen Shi did it on purpose.

Chu Jingxi's hand remained motionless in mid-air, his eyes fixed on the crack of the door, and suddenly he laughed softly: "Are you hiding from me? Wen Shi."

His voice was very soft, separated by a door, Wen Shiwo didn't hear anything when he was under the quilt, and naturally he didn't know the lonely figure of Chu Jingxi when he left after a long time.

A box of puffs was left at the door, and as the figure got further and further away, it gradually hid in the darkness.Those were Wen Shi's favorite puffs, and he had inadvertently inquired about them from Wen's mother.As long as it's about Wen Shi, he wants to know, even if it's a little bit, it's good to accumulate it.

But the difference is that Wen Shi avoided anything related to him.

As soon as I got back to my room and got ready to take a shower, the phone on the table rang.Chu Jingxi walked over to see that it was the call from his mother Yu Huizhu.

"Did you just get off work, son?"

Listening to the tired voice on the other end of the phone, Yu Huizhu knew that Chu Jingxi was working overtime again.

The clothes were placed beside the bed, leaning against the desk, Chu Jingxi lowered his head and pressed his eye sockets, and gave a faint "hmm".

"Don't just focus on work all the time. How about it? Have you contacted Wen Shi these days?" Yu Huizhu didn't know that Wen Shi moved here to live with Chu Jingxi. Ever since her son took the initiative to ask for a relationship with him, she held back several times I couldn't help but want to call to ask about the situation, but I was afraid of disturbing the young man.

It's been more than a week, and it's rare that her husband mentioned it tonight, so she called.

"got engaged."

Chu Jingxi's reaction was much colder than she had imagined, which surprised Yu Huizhu. Did something unpleasant happen?
"Son, things like feelings take time to accumulate. You haven't known Wen Shi for long, so take your time."

Whether it is her own mother or not, Chu Jingxi's emotions can be detected only from the tone of her voice.Compared with rushing to introduce him at the beginning, and then trying to encourage him after learning that he is interested in Wen Shi, Yu Huizhu now hopes that he will calm down and develop slowly.Originally, the relationship introduced by the elders in the family is relatively weak. If it is not well settled, it will be easy to break up.

Yu Huizhu still knew Wen Shi's situation very well, and it was much better to be able to talk about in-laws with a family who knew everything about them than to get to know a family all over again.

"Why don't you ask Xiao Wen to come over for dinner on weekends? It happens that you haven't come back for a long time, and your dad mentioned it tonight. If the customs work is too busy, you might as well resign and come back to the company to help."

"No need, Mom." Chu Jingxi's tone was not salty, and he looked up at the night outside the window, feeling that the heated room was still a bit cold. "I'll take care of the matter between me and Wen Shi. As for going home for dinner on weekends, I'll just go back alone."

"That won't work." Yu Huizhu said with a positive attitude, "It's been more than a week since you and Wen Shi settled down. If she was a girl you met outside, Mom would definitely not say anything. But she belongs to your Aunt Jiang." Daughter, with this kind of relationship, we always want her to come to the house for a meal. It is not easy for a girl to go out alone, if my mother knew earlier, she would definitely have called her home for dinner. "

It seemed that it was a refusal. Yu Huizhu's phone call was obviously not to ask Chu Jingxi and Wen Shi for their opinions, but to inform them.Right now, they started to discuss what to eat on weekends and asked what Wen Shi liked to eat, which gave Chu Jingxi a headache.

That guy hid himself like the plague, and said that they would go home for dinner together, would she agree?
Forget it, I'll think about it on Friday.

Immediately afterwards, they chatted about some work matters, perhaps because they realized that it was too late, and knowing that Chu Jingxi hadn't taken a bath yet, Yu Huizhu hurriedly urged him to hurry up and take a rest, and hung up the phone hastily.
