Sick Girlfriend's Melaleuca Routine

There was the sound of porcelain bowls clinking in the kitchen, and at the same time Ni Chujing came out with a plate of sour radishes.

Only then did Chai Qianning let go of her foot, and Sheng Muxi quickly withdrew it and shrank back under the chair, with a calm expression as if everything that happened just now didn't exist.

"Try it." Ni Chujing put the fishtail-shaped shallow dish on the table: "I made it myself."

Chai Qianning poked a piece with a toothpick and put it in her mouth: "Well, it's delicious, sweet and sour."

Sheng Muxi glanced at her, then ate a piece.

After the meal, Sheng Muxi helped Ni Chujing clean up the dishes. Chai Qianning also wanted to help, but Ni Chujing called her out to rest as a guest.

Chai Qianning curled her lips: "Mr. Ni, you don't even consider Teacher Sheng as an outsider, why do you treat me as an outsider?"

"It's not good to ask you to wash the dishes on the first day." Ni Chujing said gently.

"Ms. Ni." Chai Qianning pushed her shoulders to the living room and asked her to sit on the sofa to rest: "You have a good rest, wash the dishes and leave it to me and Teacher Sheng."

Ni Chujing smiled and shook her head, so she had to give up the kitchen to them.

The kitchen window is sliding, facing the back door. There is a tree planted at the back door with sparse leaves, and it is hard to tell what species it is.

The water in the sink was splashing, Sheng Muxi was in charge of washing it with dish soap, and she was in charge of rinsing it with clean water.There are not many bowls and chopsticks for three people to eat, so it was quickly resolved.

After wiping off the water on her hands, Chai Qianning glanced casually and noticed a yellowed photo frame next to the TV cabinet.

The photo is very old, and it is not blurry enough, but the characters in it can be vaguely seen - two young girls who look the same age, coarse cloth clothes, old sail shoes, very old-fashioned.

On the other side, the photo frame is more modern, at least Chai Qianning can recognize that the taller one is Ni Chujing.

At that time, Ni Chujing's hair was still black, and her smile was as gentle as it is now. Beside her was a handsome little girl about eight or nine years old, with braids and a red scarf.

At first, Chai Qianning thought that the little girl was Ni Chujing's daughter or a relative.

So when Ni Chujing told her that the little girl was Sheng Muxi, she was not to mention how surprised she was.

Going up to the stairwell of the bedroom on the second floor, there was a dusty red bamboo dragonfly on the old box on the wall, and Chai Qianning looked up there for a while.

Seeing her curious appearance, Ni Chujing took the initiative to say, "I bought it for Xiaoliu when she was in elementary school, but it broke later, and Xiaoliu was reluctant to throw it away, so I kept it as a souvenir."

At Ni Chujing's house, Chai Qianning felt an indescribable subtle feeling when she saw the traces of Sheng Muxi's childhood life.

On the way back, Chai Qianning asked something that was inconvenient to ask at Ni Chujing's house: "Mr. Sheng, you said that Teacher Ni has always lived alone. Does she have no children or other relatives?"

Sheng Muxi shook his head: "She doesn't seem to have ever been married. When I met her as my class teacher in elementary school, she was already living alone."

"She seems to have mentioned to me before that she is not a local here, she just came here to teach, relatives, I have never seen anyone who came here, some of the students she taught would come here to visit her in the early years, and more and more later. I come less and less, until now it’s basically only me. But when I was in primary school, Teacher Ni had a dog at home. But the dog at the back died of old age, and she lived there alone.”

After listening to Sheng Muxi's words, Chai Qianning tilted her head thoughtfully: "Did you live here when you were young?"

"Well, when I was in elementary school, I basically lived in Teacher Ni's house. She had no children and my mother was busy, so she took care of me like her own daughter. After entering junior high school, I will live here for a while during the winter and summer vacations. time."

"No wonder." Chai Qianning nodded.

Sheng Muxi glanced at her sideways: "No wonder what?"

"I saw a picture of you when you were a child, so cute." Chai Qianning looked at her with a smile.

Sheng Muxi stared into her eyes, dazed for a moment, then turned away, looking hesitant to speak.

Back in the community, Sheng Muxi followed Chai Qianning out of the elevator.

Chai Qianning paused for a while: "Mr. Sheng, do you want to sit at my house?"

Before Sheng Muxi could reply, Chai Qianning said happily, "Okay."

Sheng Muxi raised her eyebrows, she wanted to see how Chai Qianning would open the door.

When eating, Chai Qianning took the key out of her pocket and put it on the table, but she forgot to take it when she left later. It was Sheng Muxi who found it when she was taking her bag, and packed her key into her bag.

When she reached the door of the house, Chai Qianning took out the key from her pocket, but found that it was not there.

Sheng Muxi folded his arms and looked at her quietly.

"That..." Chai Qianning scratched her head, "I seem to have left the key at Teacher Ni's house."

Seeing Sheng Muxi standing still, she added: "Why don't you trouble Teacher Sheng to drive me there?"

The other party just looked at her with deep eyes, and Chai Qianning gritted her teeth: "I don't have a key and I can't get in. If you don't take me there to get it, then I'll stay at your house."

"Can't you take a taxi there?" Sheng Muxi said lightly.

"I won't take a taxi, I'll stay at your house." Chai Qianning blinked rascally.

Sheng Muxi smiled, lowered his eyes and slowly took out a bunch of keys from his bag: "Here."

"Why are you here... so you did it on purpose just now!"

"Let me teach you a lesson, don't always lose the key, this is the second time you have lost the key to me."

"It's okay, just change the lock if you lose the key." Chai Qianning picked out a key to open the door, as if she didn't care much.

Sheng Muxi looked at her door: "According to what you said, if you lose the key, you can change the lock. Your door can't afford such a toss, and I'm afraid that even the door will have to be changed later."

The door was already opened, and Chai Qianning stood at the entrance, with half of her body behind the door: "Mr. Sheng, do you want to come in and have a seat?"

"Another day." Sheng Muxi turned his back away from the wall he was leaning against.

Chai Qianning curled her lips: "What day is it?"

Sheng Muxi was thoughtful: "The zuozuo you are talking about, which zuozuo is it?"

There was a sly smile in Chai Qianning's eyes, and she raised her eyebrows, which was self-evident.

-

The last time I played a game, I released the pigeons of my teammates. To express my apology, Chai Qianning found a time when everyone was free, and invited them out for dinner and a get-together.

The location is near Shangyang Plaza, where Chai Qianning knows a lot about eating, drinking and having fun, so she chose a restaurant that tastes good after eating there.

"A Ning, you have no heart."

As soon as they met, Jelly said to Chai Qianning, "accusing" her behavior of temporarily releasing pigeons last time.

Chai Qian Ning caressed her chest: "Ah, my heart is still beating."

Su Ye: "Last time we made an appointment to have a blackout together, and you said you would take us to fly, but you didn't come later, so why are you going to do serious business?"

Chai Qianning lowered her eyes shyly: "It's not good to talk about such things in broad daylight, right?"

The other three were played by Chai Qianning, and they said "Huh" in unison.

The four chatted while walking to the restaurant. Chai Qianning heard that they knelt more than ten times while playing a game last time, and shook her head helplessly: "Sure enough, I can't do it without me."

There was still a while before the food was served, and the four of them sat down and started a game. Chai Qianning vowed to lead them to win a game, but the game ended easily in less than 10 minutes.

Su Ye: "Why is the other side so good this time?"

Jelly: "Seeing that we lost too much, worried that we uninstalled the game so let's win a game?"

Ah Chu: "The opponent is not a man-machine, is it? This is the fastest game I have ever won."

Chai Qianning took a sip of tea: "Look, as soon as I join, the enemy trembles and let us win."

The other three: ".."

At this time, the waiter had already served several dishes, and everyone put down their phones to eat, talking and laughing from games to life, and then to gossip.

Half an hour later, everyone had almost eaten, rested in their seats, and planned to go to the e-sports city to play later.

A group of men and women walked in from outside, and walked in noisily.

Every table in this store is separated by a screen with a hollow pattern, and that group of people is sitting at the table next to Chai Qianning's. Listening to their conversation is like a whole office teacher coming out for dinner.

After eating, Chai Qianning lazily leaned on the chair, took a sip from the orange juice on the table from time to time, and occasionally passed the next table.

"Where's Teacher Sheng?"

"She went to the bathroom."

Hearing the three words Teacher Sheng, Chai Qianning raised her eyes subconsciously, and then saw Sheng Muxi walking from the direction of the bathroom.

The other party seemed to have seen her too, his eyes froze for a few seconds, and he walked to the next table.

Chai Qianning lowered her eyes, and sent a message to Sheng Muxi: [Dinning with colleagues? 】

Sheng Muxi: [Yeah. 】

She knew it.

When I looked up again, I saw a young male teacher next to Shengmuxi, enthusiastically pushing a pair of bowls and chopsticks scalded with tea to Shengmuxi.

Chai Qianning's brows were slightly wrinkled.

"Hey, Ah Ning, will you go to the video game city with us?"

"A Ning?"

"Hey."

Her friend called her several times before she came back to her senses: "Huh? I won't go."

Su Ye sighed: "My dear, I have been addicted to love recently and cannot extricate myself."

On the other side of the screen, the young male teacher kept turning his head to talk to Sheng Muxi.

Because Sheng Muxi sat with his back facing the screen, Chai Qianning could only see her back, not her expression.

But she could see that when the male teacher turned his head to talk to Sheng Muxi, he had a happy smile on his face and a look that seemed interesting to Sheng Muxi.

After paying the bill, Chai Qianning went back first.

The three of Su Ye, Achu, and Jelly went to the video game city to play.

Everyone chatted happily at the dining table, Sheng Muxi looked back amidst the noise, and saw that the table that Chai Qianning used to have had been cleared away, and new guests sat down one after another.

She looked away from the corner of her eye, and heard an elderly teacher say: "In our office, except for a few people with families, now that Teacher Lin is married, and Teacher Ouyang and Teacher Xu are already married, it's up to Teacher Sheng and Teacher Xu to marry each other. Teacher Zhang."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhang, when can I have your wedding candy?"

The young teacher sitting next to Shengmuxi is Teacher Zhang.

Teacher Zhang glanced at Sheng Muxi, scratched his head and smiled: "Actually, there are also people at home who are urging marriage."

Sheng Muxi didn't speak, but he still got caught in this topic.

Someone suggested: "Mr. Zhang, why don't you and Mr. Sheng join together? One teaches mathematics and the other teaches English. Mathematics and English go well together."

As soon as the words came out, the other teachers also booed.

Teacher Zhang smiled silently, but she kept paying attention to the changes in Sheng Muxi's expression from the corner of her eye.

"Teacher Sheng."

Hearing someone calling her, Sheng Muxi half raised his eyelashes.

"Mr. Zhang is about the same age as you, and he is also a good-looking person. It might be suitable for you to be together."

This is not the first time Sheng Muxi has experienced this kind of marriage being worried about by older people. Before, there was a director in the school who joked with her that he wanted to betroth his son to her.

When mentioning this matter in the past, Sheng Muxi just laughed and said nothing.

At this moment, the screen of her mobile phone, which was placed on the table, suddenly lit up.

Chai Qianning: [It's raining and thundering (expression)..]

The following news did not appear, and she was worried about being seen by others, so she immediately turned off the screen.

The people at the table are still continuing the topic just now.

"Mr. Sheng, didn't I hear Mr. Shi say that you were arranged by your family to go on a blind date?"

Teacher Zhang looked sideways at Sheng Muxi: "Mr. Sheng, you are also on a blind date recently."

Between the lines, it is all expressing, since we have been urged to marry by our parents recently, why don't we try together?

The phone vibrated again, this time Sheng Muxi took the phone to his lap, opened it and rolled his eyes.

Chai Qianning: [Have you finished eating? 】

Sheng Muxi raised his eyes and smiled gently at everyone: "I already have a partner."
