Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

"Hey, Zheng, it's Saturday today. When are you free? Do you want to come over to my house? The sheriff worked overtime to finish building my new greenhouse. You said you'd help me plant the flowers."

A gentle voice came from my ear, with a hint of coquettishness in the tone.

Lin Zheng's heartbeat quickened. He clutched the phone tightly in his hands. Looking at Azhi and Xia Youren, who were staring at him, his expression suddenly became serious. "What? If it's so serious, I'd better come and help you. You stay home and don't run around."

With that, he hung up the phone, grabbed the medicine box next to him and put it on his shoulder.

"Dad, who is it?" Azhi asked.

Lin Zheng stiffened his neck and turned his head towards the door. "It's... Mr. Zhang who has high blood pressure."

He paused, then walked quickly towards the door. "I'll go out and take a look. You stay in the store and look after it."

Lin Zheng walked quickly because he was afraid that the two little guys would notice the redness gradually spreading from deep inside his neck.

The door is closed.

Xia Youren immediately took out a movie ticket and slammed it on the table, "I bet it was Sister Jingzhi who called!"

A Bing scratched his face and said, "No way, the boss seems quite serious, it shouldn't be her."

While they were talking, Azhi bit her lip and tapped Xia Youren's back.

I leaned over and whispered in his ear:

"Aren... go upstairs... I talked to my dad about us last night... and I have something to tell you."

Xia Youren's face froze, and then he raised his eyebrows and pushed the movie ticket towards A Bing, "Be good, your sister Zhi and I have something important to discuss. Keep an eye on the store this afternoon. This movie ticket is for the evening, so single people can have a good night too. Blessings!"

After saying that, he put his arm around Azhi's shoulder and gently pushed her forward.

During this time, you can also hear Azhi's voice scolding Xia Youren.

Ah Zhi: "Don't push me, I'll fall down soon, why rush?"

Xia Youren laughed: "It's obviously you who's anxious."

Ah Zhi was angry, "I didn't."

"Okay, okay, you didn't, I was anxious."

The sour smell of love permeated this closed space, and even A Bing was tired of it.

He looked away, held his face with one hand, picked up the movie ticket with the other, and shrugged.

It doesn’t matter. It’s like this all the time anyway. It’s better to have a prize than nothing.

……

the other side.

Lin Zheng was sitting in the car outside Jingzhi's house at this time, looking at himself in the mirror.

Well…it was just noon, only half a day had passed, and his stubble seemed to have sprouted a little.

The weather was hot and I had some sweat on my face.

Lin Zheng glanced at the gate of her yard from afar, then raised his right hand and sniffed his armpit.

Fortunately, although it smells a bit like sweat, it is not smelly.

He had been hiding in the car for a long time and preparing himself mentally, but it was all in vain. He looked at the flowers and flower seeds on the right seat, and his heart beat faster and faster.

He always remembered that she asked him to stay overnight that night.

Lin Zheng liked her, but that night two days ago was the first time he entered her house. How could he do such a ridiculous thing?

So after making medicine for her, he hurriedly found an excuse and left.

I was worried about her safety that night, so I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me.

This time she took the initiative to invite him out, and Lin Zheng naturally treated it as a serious date.

He straightened his shirt collar and matching tie, took a last look at his meticulous self in the rearview mirror, and then put on his neat black suit jacket.

I took the flower seeds and cake and came to her door.

Shortly after I rang the doorbell, the white door opened from the inside with a click.

Behind the door was Jingzhi, who was smiling faintly and dressed just like him.

The dark green spinning dress wrapped around her slender shoulders.

The pleats at the waistline make her waist look slim.

But her pink feet were exposed outside the hem of her skirt.

The white gauze across her neck above the small V-neck also looked a bit abrupt.

She bit her red lips, held the hems of her skirt on both sides, crossed her legs, bent her knees, and playfully performed a ladylike etiquette towards Lin Zheng.

"A Zheng, I...thought you weren't coming."

Although she was not wearing shoes, Lin Zheng could tell from her dress that she attached great importance to this meeting.

Lin Zheng felt a little relieved and said with a smile, "Would you like me to come in first?"

"How can that be? Come in quickly." Jingzhi immediately opened the door and stepped aside to let him in. "Hurry up, don't let Uncle Hu find out."

He raised an eyebrow, "Are you afraid of being seen by him?"

"It's just..." Jingzhi pinched her fingers awkwardly, and clenched her toes slightly on the ground, "Don't always show off in front of him. I've moved here for several years, and he has helped me a lot."

As soon as Lin Zheng stepped into her house, Jingzhi immediately closed the door.

"Zhizhi..." Lin Zheng was holding things in both hands and called out in a low voice and then nothing happened.

Jingzhi reached out and pulled out the suit jacket he was holding in his hand, and asked, "Are you jealous now? I'm just telling the truth."

Lin Zheng, who was originally still depressed, saw her feet getting redder and redder as she got colder. He pursed his lips, breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, "No."

He put the things on the cabinet next to her entrance, then bent down and took out a pair of light green slippers for her from the shoe rack. "Next time, I'll ring the doorbell, so you don't have to be so anxious."

Look at him serving himself, taking off his leather shoes and putting on home shoes, he looks more like the owner of this place than she does.

Not knowing what she was thinking of, Jingzhi blushed, put on her slippers, and led him to the living room.

……

It was the first time he had walked into her house during the day.

Last time, I only turned on the lights in the living room and kitchen, and I was busy decocting medicine for her, so I didn't look closely.

This time I finally have time to take a good look at her home.

Her house is a typical minimalist style.

Maybe it's the doctor's professional habit.

Her house is almost entirely decorated in pure white modern style.

The house is dotted with various green plants.

The dining room and living room are separated only by a long bar in natural wood color.

A dark green blanket was casually draped on the beige velvet sofa, with one corner of the blanket hanging down to the white shag carpet on the ground.

The sofa is slightly concave.

Lin Zheng could imagine the scene of her lying on her side watching TV.

He smiled and looked down. In the empty space between the sofa and the coffee table, there were two black high-heeled shoes with laces and tiny diamonds placed crookedly. It was obvious that they matched her clothes today.

At this time, there was still red wine in the decanter on the table, and there were two red wine glasses next to it, one of which had a little less wine in it.

The decoration of the house is quite rational, but the picture on the TV in front of the gray marble coffee table is a funny and childlike cat and mouse.

Lin Zheng raised his lips slightly. This contrast was so cute...

Jingzhi rushed over like the wind.

She picked up the two high heels and hid them behind her back, looking away and explaining shyly:

"Your tone was a bit harsh when we were talking just now. I thought you really had something to do and wouldn't be coming, so..."

"Whether I'm here or not, your injury hasn't healed yet, so you'd better not drink." He said unhappily.

Lin Zheng placed the cake on the table and leaned the flower seeds against the wall. Then he turned around and explained his tone to her:

"I didn't want Ah Zhi and Ah Ren to come with me, so I said that. They're so naughty, and I'm afraid they'll mess things up here."

"I don't mind," she said.

"...I mind." He whispered.

Jingzhi suddenly looked up at him, looking quite surprised.

"Do you mind if they mess up my house, or...do you mind if they disturb the two of us being together?"

After regaining her memory, she became bold and outspoken. How could Lin Zheng be her opponent?

Surprised at her change, Lin Zheng took a step back, opened his mouth slightly, and said "I, I" twice, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Jingzhi covered her lips and chuckled softly, "If you can't say it, don't force yourself. I'll put the flowers in first."

She spoke softly, took the flowers, and just as she was about to walk sideways to the kitchen, her right arm was grabbed by his big, hot hand.

The dark green skirt spins into a beautiful arc.

Lin Zheng placed his palm on the back of her waist, looking at her tenderly with a hint of shyness and uncontrollable love in his eyes.

His Adam's apple rolled for a few seconds, and he couldn't help but lower his head and lightly touched the corner of her lips, "Zhizhi..."

The high heels that Jingzhi was holding with two fingers on her left hand fell to the ground with a clang, and she responded with a puzzled "hmm?"

And secretly swept the shoes aside with his feet.

Her somewhat solemn makeup today further highlighted her bright facial features. Lin Zheng only took a few glances at her and then restrained himself and turned his head slightly to look elsewhere.

Knowing that he was the one she had been waiting for, Jingzhi was not as reserved as before.

Her slender fingers just touched his shoulder lightly, but before she could exert any force, he restrained himself and let go of her, taking a step back.

Lin Zheng said: "I am the one who offended you, you... are very beautiful today."

With a "buzz", the light pink blush on her face suddenly deepened in color.

"I, I'm going to find the vase."

Afraid that Lin Zheng would think she had suddenly become too violent, Jingzhi didn't dare to look at him again and rushed into the open kitchen on the left with her head down.

Lin Zheng didn't dare to look at her directly.

After she turned around, his eyes never left her back, and his feet followed her closely.

It was not until he walked into the kitchen that he looked around.

After he decorated and tidied it up that night, this place finally became a little popular.

There were water droplets in the sink, and fresh fruit on the draining rack next to it.

It can be seen that she has really changed recently.

He turned his eyes and saw a large stack of takeout flyers next to the sink that had not been thrown away. He couldn't help but frown.

"I haven't been here these two days. Did you order takeout again?"

"No, I just didn't have time to throw it away!" Her slightly cold fingers tightly clasped the transparent vase in her hand, and she suddenly turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of sincerity.

"I'm afraid you'll get an upset stomach." Seeing her frightened look, Lin Zheng sighed softly, twisted her shoulders, turned her around, and said:

"I'm sorry, the store has suddenly had a lot of traffic these days, so I couldn't come over in time to cook for you."

Jingzhi placed the vase in her hand by the sink and pointed to the next door. "I think...it seems...probably...it might be someone that Uncle Hu introduced."

Seeing him lost in thought, Jingzhi swallowed his saliva and confessed honestly:

"After you left that night, I kept hearing him talking on the phone on the balcony, introducing clients to you, and then... and then..."

"Then what?"

Lin Zheng clenched his hands into fists behind his back.

This Old Hu, as a man, how could he not know that he was tripping him up!

"Then... he kept coming to bring me food." As she said that, Jingzhi quickly pushed him away and opened the refrigerator door behind him to prove her innocence.

"I do it myself... I'm learning. I didn't accept his meal."
