cast a peach

For a moment the room was silent.

Zhao Guangshui blushed for some reason, she felt that she seemed a little frivolous just now.

...It seems to be molesting sister Pear.

But she really wasn't joking!That is, just say what comes to mind, that's all.

To be honest, Sister Li is really beautiful.

Tan Mingli has a slender figure and a fair complexion. When she doesn't wear makeup, her lips are light in color, and when her lips are pursed, they are a slightly darker cherry color.The hair color is also light, with a bit of natural curls, hanging softly on the chest.

The best part is the eyes.A pair of bright and shallow pupils, often smiling and full of enthusiasm, the eyes are flowing, tactful and affectionate.

Very touching.

Zhao Guangshui endured his embarrassment and added softly: "Really."

She carefully looked at Tan Mingli's face and thought to herself, everyone said that young girls are beautiful, but when she saw Tan Mingli today, she actually felt that elder sister Li was even more beautiful now than when she was a teenager.

For example, brewing wine, the longer the time, the better the taste.After precipitation, the style becomes more graceful, and even the water waves are moving.

It's over, sister Li won't think I'm glib...

Tan Mingli smiled softly, a little embarrassed, took a sip of the crystal clear plum wine, raised her hand to rub her face, and replied with a smile: "Okay, I see. Thank you, Xiao Shui."

He glanced up and down at her deeply and shallowly, and said with a smile: "Our Xiaoshui is also very beautiful."

Now it was Zhao Guangshui's turn to be shy.

She didn't know what to say, so she just bowed her head and drank her own yogurt.

It's strange, she is always at a loss when staying with Tan Mingli, she doesn't know what to do, she doesn't know how to answer her jokes and teases, clumsy and uneasy.

Doesn't that seem unintelligent?Will elder sister Li think I'm boring?She sometimes observes girls of the same age, and thinks that they are all cheerful and lively, can talk, act like a baby, and make people laugh. Such children seem to please the elders the most.

She also wanted Sister Li to like her.

Tan Mingli was leaning on the sofa, drinking the wine slowly one sip at a time, looking softly at the girl who was taking sips of yogurt.

So cute.

She didn't know how many times she sighed like this in her heart.

Like a stray kitten.

Shy, yet well-behaved.Hesitant and cautious, but as long as you call out gently, even if you are uneasy, you will still come slowly.

She had just exchanged greetings with Zhao Zhihua, and some of the things she said were indeed sincere.

——She has always liked Xiao Shui.

And the house was indeed too quiet, which made her flustered.

Maybe it's not Xiaoshui who needs her...it's her who needs Xiaoshui.

Zhao Guangshui also had a good sitting posture when drinking yogurt, with a straight back and two slender legs.

She is wearing a very simple white shirt today, made of cotton and with a student collar.The hem is tucked into the skirt, revealing a delicate figure of a girl.The hair is black and soft, like a cloud.The cut is a little over the shoulders, and when the head is lowered, it will cover a little pink cheeks, making it look younger.

Tan Mingli's heart was soft, and she called out in a warm voice, "Xiao Shui."

Zhao Guangshui raised his head upon hearing the sound.

"Welcome."

The woman's expression is gentle and sincere.

"I'm glad you can come."

It was still some time before he left the school report, and Zhao Guangshui adapted to life at Tan Mingli's house faster than expected.

Tan Mingli's house has three bedrooms and one living room, with good lighting.Tan Mingli lived in the master bedroom, Zhao Guangshui lived in the second bedroom, and the remaining room was reserved as a study.

Tan Mingli didn't call her in the morning, thinking that she was young and sleepy, so she was allowed to stay in bed, but she had to eat breakfast.But Zhao Guangshui was used to waking up early since he was a child. He didn't need anyone to call him, and he would wake up by himself when the time came.

In addition, she was at Tan Mingli's house, so she also wanted to behave better.

Breakfast is usually eggs, milk, and toast with jam.Lunch is a simple home-cooked dish, one meat and one vegetarian with rice.Dinner is boiled milky soup and beautifully arranged fruits.Tan Mingli cooks while Zhao Guangshui washes the dishes.

The two had a small argument about washing the dishes at first, and finally ended with Zhao Guangshui's insistence on washing the dishes.

If Tan Mingli is in a good mood at night, he will pour some wine to drink.It is plum wine, the alcohol content is not high, children can also taste a little.She also poured a little for Zhao Guangshui with a smile.

So cute.

Even if the kitten wants to drink, it won't say it, but will obediently look at the wine glass a few more times.

Zhao Guangshui quite liked the decoration style of Tan Mingli's house.In fact, when she came here, she had imagined what sister Li's house would look like.Trying to figure out Tan Mingli's temperament, I think it might be... that kind of warm pastoral style?

After arriving, I found that the decoration is very simple, almost empty.The windows are bright and clean, there are no decorations in the house, only a few well-growing flowers and plants.She knew a little about plants and recognized a few.Sansevieria, rose, double-petaled Arthana...

Vibrant and full of vitality.You can tell at a glance that it is well taken care of by the owner.

When she was in elementary school, she secretly raised mint, and it grew very well, with a large cluster of fragrant and fragrant.

When she lived with her grandfather in the capital, she lived in an improved courtyard house, which was very old and was the ancestral house of the Zhao family.There are ancient calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room, and a purple sand tea set on the mahogany table, often burning a faint light blue incense.

It was only later that she learned that an ordinary porcelain vase in the house can be sold for a lot of money.

But the ancestral house may be a bit too old, and children are always a little scared to live in it.

When she was a child, she used to sit in a small cubicle in the attic and read in the dark, lighting a small electric lamp, reading for a whole day, until the nanny found her in a panic and took her down.

"What are you looking at, Xiao Shui?"

Tan Mingli didn't know when he stood behind her, asked softly, and stroked her shoulder naturally.

"Looking at the flowers," Zhao Guangshui turned his head and looked back, smiled at Tan Mingli clearly, and rubbed her hand with his cheek, "Sister Li, do you like planting plants? You grow well."

"Hmm..." Tan Mingli felt the soft and warm touch on the back of his hand, and was slightly taken aback, then came back to his senses and replied warmly: "It's okay."

"When I was at home, I used to watch my father raise them. I only watered them occasionally, and watched him pruning and removing insects. I found it troublesome."

Tan Mingli raised her face, her eyes looked nostalgic: "Now that I'm getting older, I don't know why, but suddenly I want to plant some flowers and plants."

I feel that they are green and vigorous, as if they make the house a lot more lively.

"But I don't know much about it. I'm just a layman. I don't care about the species, I just pick flowers and plants that are easy to serve."

Tan Mingli smiled, lowered his head and asked, "What about you? Xiao Shui, do you like it?"

"I... grew mint when I was young." Zhao Guangshui thought for a while and said softly, "I quite like it."

He added: "In the future, I can help my sister take care of the flowers and plants."

"it is good."

Tan Mingli looked at her softly.

The girl's eyes are very clear, and the chess pieces are black and moist.With a serious expression, he pronounced his words very clearly when he spoke, and every sentence seemed to be a serious promise.

Once Xiaoshui came, maybe there was no need to plant flowers.

Tan Mingli thought to herself.

——Isn’t this the most beautiful and delicate flower?

Tan Mingli's study has a lot of books, and Zhao Guangshui often stays in it after getting permission.

There are also a wide range of categories, mainly books related to law, as well as humanities and social sciences, as well as many picture books and albums, and English original books.

Zhao Guangshui likes reading very much. On the one hand, it is because of the influence of his grandfather's precepts and deeds. On the other hand, she doesn't know what to do besides reading.

In the ancestral house, apart from the nanny who takes care of her and the cleaning staff, there are only her and her grandfather all year round.My mother is doing business in the south and is always very busy, only coming back once or twice a year.

dad?The family never mentioned her father in front of her.When she was ignorant when she was a child, she would chase after her grandfather to ask questions, but when she got older, she stopped asking.She pieced together from some clues that her father probably cheated and divorced her mother.

The Zhao family tutors are a bit old-fashioned strict. They don't allow children to get in touch with electronic products too early, and they don't appreciate the juniors' obsession with one thing. They feel that they are out of moderation and inevitably make mistakes.

Apart from reading, there are actually very few recreational activities that she is allowed to participate in at home.

There are no playmates of the same age.

Always her alone.

Zhao Guangshui used to grow mint in secret when he was a child, but when his nanny found out, he told his grandfather, who called her into the study and kindly told her to take down "Shangshu" from the bookshelf.

"Turn to the section of "Book of Zhou" and read the chapter "Traveling Mastiff."

She couldn't understand Grandpa's expression, hesitated to speak, and said softly:

"We only overcome merchants, so we can pass through the nine barbarians and eight barbarians..."

"...Do not serve the eyes and ears, but Baidu is chaste. Playing with people loses morality, playing with things loses morale."

"Okay. Just read here."

Grandpa nodded, opened his eyes and looked at her quietly, his expression was still very gentle: "Xiao Shui, do you understand?"

"understood."

She answered softly.

The next day, she pulled out the mint she had planted by herself.

Tan Mingli knocked lightly on the study door, signaling that she was coming in.

"Xiao Shui?" she called softly.

The lights in the study were not turned on, the bed curtains were drawn tightly, and it was pitch black.

Tan Mingli was stunned, hesitated for a moment, did not turn on the light, but turned on the flashlight of the mobile phone, covering the light so that the light would not hurt Zhao Guangshui's eyes, and glanced around the room.

found it.

Zhao Guangshui fell asleep leaning against the bookshelf, curled up in a small ball, still holding the book in his arms.

Tan Mingli's heart softened, he turned off the phone light, and walked over lightly.

Even though it's midsummer, it's still cold to just fall asleep on the floor, which is not good for your health.

She squatted down, staring softly at the girl's sleeping face, thinking about how to wake her up.

Zhao Guangshui's eyelashes are very long, and when he closes his eyes, he is quiet and obedient, like a small animal.

Very nice.

Tan Mingli's heart skipped a beat.

She reached out and tapped the girl's cheek lightly.
