Under meals

After a night of calmness, Tao Mingzhuo was actually not that sad anymore.

Although every sentence he uttered has the color of "I'm still angry" and "Since you don't like me that much, then I don't like you anymore", but as long as you think about the content of these sentences carefully, you will You will find that these sour words actually come from his concern for Jing Ci.

When Tao Mingzhuo went to Tao Xue's house to pick up kitchen utensils this morning, Tao Xue himself followed him back.

Tao Xue remembered something on the way, and said to him: "By the way, you still have to say thank you to Jingci for me."

Only then did Tao Mingzhuo know that Jing Ci had hired a lawyer for Tao Xue a few days ago. He was from a well-known law firm in the city, with deep qualifications, and the consulting fee alone was expensive.

Their parents still felt that Tao Xue was angry and made a hasty decision, and advised her to think about divorce after a while, but Tao Xue had long since stopped caring about their thoughts.

"I live my life for myself, not for my parents, so I still have to leave." Tao Xue said, "My own comfort is the most important thing in my life."

Tao Mingzhuo: "I understand the truth, but this is the reason why your parenting guides are all dusty and you read these romantic cartoons every day?"

Tao Xue coughed: "It's indeed a manga, but it's not a romance manga... By the way, I just finished reading the few books I brought to Sister Li's house. Give me a hand and help me move two stacks over there."

Tao Mingzhuo: "..."

Tao Mingzhuo casually flipped through a few books, only to find it unsightly. He felt that if Tao Xue and Yang Keying could meet one day in the future, then the two of them must have a lot to talk about.

Tao Mingzhuo was still a little sore at first, but after leaving Tao Xue's house, he finally calmed down and could think rationally about his relationship with Jing Ci.

He knew that Jing Ci cared about him.

There are indeed many people who can give for their lovers in love, but there are very few who can love their homes and their families, and at the same time consider so thoughtfully for the other's family.

If Jing Ci didn't have himself in his heart and just wanted to eat with himself, then a while ago, he didn't need to be hungry for such a long time and choose to hide his illness from himself, just so that he could concentrate on busying Tao Xue thing.

It is one thing to know that Jing Ci has himself in his heart, but Tao Mingzhuo is an insecure person, he still wants to ask directly "Do you care about me?" How much do you like me?" He just wanted to hear Jingci admit that he cared about him.

In fact, Tao Mingzhuo now feels more ashamed.

Because in his eyes, misunderstood other people's secret love for him... It's really embarrassing and embarrassing.

So Tao Mingzhuo decided to act cold for a few days, even if he knew that Jing Ci actually had himself in his heart, he wanted to see how much Jing Ci really cared about him.

Tao Mingzhuo brought back a bunch of kitchen utensils from Tao Xue. Most of the machines were blandishments, with complex functions and difficult to understand. Tao Mingzhuo was still figuring it out.

Only the small oven seemed easier to operate, and Tao Mingzhuo also bought a bag of ready-made egg tart skins when he was buying vegetables in the supermarket, so he planned to bake a few egg tarts in the small oven first, and eat them early.

However, the power of the small oven is very delicate. After baking for a long time, the egg tart barely turned golden. Tao Mingzhuo cut it open, but found that the inside was still sticky and moist, half-baked

Tao Mingzhuo: "... Let's bake it for a while."

Jing Ci said, "Okay."

When the oven was turned on again, Tao Mingzhuo and Jing Ci fell silent.

Of the ten egg tarts, seven were burnt on the edges, one was baked by a volcanic eruption and exploded directly, and two were as black as charcoal, making it impossible to start.

Jing Ci hesitated and said, "It smells very good."

Tao Mingzhuo: "...It smells like a fire scene."

Tao Mingzhuo was quiet for a while, then suddenly asked: "How do you usually see me eating... in order to eat?"

Jing Ci was startled, and looked into his eyes: "As long as you sit in front of me and eat normally."

Tao Mingzhuo asked: "As long as you watch me eat, you can eat anything, or is it that you can only eat the dish I am eating?"

Jing Ci: "Theoretically speaking, it is the first case, but generally, I will choose the same dish as you to eat whatever dish you are eating, so the effect will be better."

Tao Mingzhuo was silent for a moment, then nodded.

He suddenly remembered that the day the two talked for the first time in the cafeteria, he ate a large plate of Tom Yum Kung Shrimp, and when Jing Ci came to find him with the plate, his plate happened to only have Tom Yum Kung Shrimp was eaten.

Tao Mingzhuo let out a breath and said, "Let's eat."

A few egg tarts and two cups of milk are definitely not enough for a breakfast. Tao Mingzhuo cooked two bowls of quick-frozen small wontons. The two sat at the dining table facing each other and began to eat quietly.

Tao Mingzhuo was a little absent-minded, and at first he inhaled in a whirlwind at the same speed as before. Halfway through eating, he suddenly remembered that the situation was different now, and the food in his throat choked.

He glanced at Jing Ci who was sitting opposite, hesitantly put down the egg tart in his hand, decided to have a more balanced nutritional intake, and ate the wonton in front of him instead.

She was also afraid that she was eating too fast and that Jing Ci would not be able to keep up with her speed, so she silently slowed down her chewing speed, chewing ten times in one bite before hesitating to swallow it.

When he was in a daze, he heard Jing Ci calling his name

"Tao Mingzhuo." Jing Ci said, "I'm sorry."

He said: "Before I thought that hiding it would solve the current problems I encountered, but I ignored that doing so would also hurt your feelings."

Tao Mingzhuo didn't speak.

Jing Ci said gently: "I know you probably didn't listen to it yesterday, so I want to tell you again, eating is indeed an opportunity to get close to you, but it's not the reason why I like you."

"I like you because you are special and warm, and it is the feeling that others have never given me." He said, "Even if you were not the one who ate deliciously in the cafeteria at that time, I believe that as long as we can be together someday in the future If we meet, I will still be attracted to you."

"Whether I am sick or not, and whether my illness will ever get better," he said, "I will like you."

Tao Mingzhuo's hand trembled slightly.

Then Jing Ci saw that he lowered his head suddenly, picked up an egg tart left on the plate, and swallowed it directly into his mouth.

Jing Ci quietly watched his bulging side face: "Can you forgive me?"

After a while, he heard Tao Mingzhuo say in a hoarse voice: "You have never done anything wrong, so there is no such thing as forgiveness or forgiveness between us."

This sentence is sincere.

In fact, Tao Mingzhuo had stopped being angry a long time ago, but he finally heard Jing Ci say these nice and heartfelt words, and for a moment he was so happy that his tail was about to go up to the sky, and he just wanted to listen more greedily.

So the words on the lips turned sourly: "Actually, I have always been self-indulgent, and emotionally... I just feel less secure."

"So these two days, I want to be alone and think about our relationship again, okay?" He asked.

Tao Mingzhuo actually enjoyed the feeling of being kept by Jing Ci and being needed by him.

The meaning in his words is "Actually, I am not angry anymore, if you praise me more and let me feel your liking more, I will forgive you!".

If it was Jing Ci from before, maybe he could hear the implication in these words.

But since last night, Jing Ci has been feeling uneasy in her heart.He looked at Tao Mingzhuo's expression and thought that Tao Mingzhuo was still angry with him, so the words in Jing Ci's ears were "I'm still angry, and I don't want to listen to you, can you not bother me? "the meaning of.

Jing Ci felt as if no matter how she explained, Tao Mingzhuo didn't seem to understand it.

He thought Tao Mingzhuo was desperate for some personal space and some time to calm down alone, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Okay, I won't disturb you for a while except for the time of eating. "

Tao Mingzhuo: "...?"

Tao Mingzhuo suddenly realized that he might have used too much force just now.

His mouth opened slightly, anxiously wanting to say something immediately, but he realized that he had just said those words, and he couldn't bear to explain for a while.

He originally thought that after he said such words, Jing Ci would be at a loss, and would continue to say some sweet words to comfort him, maybe he would take the initiative to kiss and hug him, and then he would just keep pushing and pulling, saying in two days Maybe it can develop smoothly to a depth that has not been reached between the two of them...

Tao Mingzhuo felt like he was sweating.

He didn't expect that he would play hard to get for the first time, and let it be that Jing Ci didn't take the initiative to get close to him to comfort him, and even for a while in the future... he still wanted to hide from him.

He began to think frantically that there was no way to show that he didn't care, but also to make Jing Ci not really stop "disturbing" him for a while.

Recalling the few Goxueba Zong comics he had glimpsed at Tao Xue's house today, he raised his head and suddenly had an idea.

Tao Mingzhuo coughed loudly: "...but it suddenly occurred to me that you need to look at me to eat, so now you need me more than I need you, right?"

Jing Ci looked at him, nodded after a while: "Yes."

Tao Mingzhuo gave a "hmm" and said, "But why should I show you for nothing?"

Jing Ci: "...?"

"You never asked me if I would like to be seen by you, and if I show you...how can I benefit myself?" Tao Mingzhuo asked.

Jing Ci didn't expect Tao Mingzhuo to ask questions from such a tricky angle, so he was taken aback.

Tao Mingzhuo cleared his throat: "So..."

Jing Ci stared blankly at his face.

"So starting today, if you want me to accompany you to dinner..."

Tao Mingzhuo paused for a moment, then raised his head and stammered, "Just... just exchange your own body with me!"

The author says:

Xiaotao (with head held high): Only by kissing me can I exchange food!

Xiao Jing (smiling): Can I just exchange it with kisses?
