evening tide

"Ah." Peng Yanzhi sighed, the girl was not allowed to stay, and she turned her elbow out so quickly.

"You can live with me, as long as you don't dislike living with my parents." She muttered.

"Huh? Everything is here?" Yu Zhou originally watched them talking with his face in his hands, but his pupils trembled when he saw a small car pushing in.

"You didn't call us, finished ordering by yourself?" She turned her head and asked Su Chang.

Su Chang was very innocent, and said softly: "They are discussing the house."

"You are watching gossip."

The implication is that no one has time.

"Then you should..." Yu Zhou said awkwardly, "Out of respect, right?"

"Forget it." Why bother to care about these details, she stood up and motioned for Peng Houzhi to hand her the food, "Hurry up, I'm starving to death."

Chao Xin took another look at Su Chang, who was relaxed and relaxed, always smiling gently, always strategizing, as if she was born without the need to think about indecency, as if no matter what she did, she was sure that everyone would forgive her.

Appearance, family background, career, love, all are perfect.

God loves the world, but loves Su Chang.

Even the person Xiang Wan likes chases after her with full satisfaction.

In fact, Chao Xin didn't regard Xiang Wan's crookedness, or who she liked as a particularly important matter, because he had never been interested in such things, let alone others.

But when Xiang Wan's favorite, concretely and intuitively placed in front of her, was the girl leaning next to Su Chang, she suddenly felt very strange.

The strange thing is that sometimes she faintly feels that she and Xiang Wan have something in common.

And Su Chang is the opposite number of people like them.

The person Xiang Wan likes is by Su Chang's side.

She couldn't describe the feeling.

Maybe, a little bit of empathy?For example, she is still working hard for the studio, but other people's radishes have grown gratifyingly, just like Xiang Wan and Yu Zhou tossing and turning, some people concretized the matter of "can't ask for it".

So she was naturally thinking about how Xiang Wan faced Su Chang at that time.

But this kind of thinking is only for a moment, and Chao Xin has no habit of affection.

She picked up a chopstick of fatty beef slices, thought about it, and put it in Xiang Wan's bowl first, apologizing for the poor little Xiang Wan image she had created without authorization just now.

When eating at her house, Chao Xin would often pick up vegetables for Xiang Wan, so Xiang Wan didn't refuse and ate them directly.

Peng Yanzhi shook his head and rolled his eyes faintly, facing Yu Zhou with a desperate expression.

Yu Zhou thought it was funny, and pressed his eyebrows back with a code word of "Be safe and don't be impatient".

Even if it is, so what, as long as Wan Wan likes it.Xiang Wan is smarter than them, it is unlikely that the sheep will fall into the tiger's mouth, she is a little wolf.

"Su Chang!" Seeing that Yu Zhou couldn't get in, Peng Yan suddenly yelled, "You are going to die!"

"?"

"You organize a dinner, and you don't say a word?"

"Did... I organize it?" Su Chang retracted the chopsticks, pressed his wrist against the edge of the table, and confirmed softly.

"You guys have a dinner party! "Help Me Shoot"! It's coming online soon, you forgot? One, your lead actor, the other, your lead actor, you, the co-director, your wife, the screenwriter."

Peng Hengzhi ordered radishes one by one.

"Really?" Su Chang frowned.

Didn't Peng Yuzhi say that Xiang Wan is moving, so we have to get together?

"I don't care, just say a few words, you don't organize, what do you order?"

"Then..." Su Chang tilted his head, "When will you move?"

"You go back and discuss the arrangements with Yaoyao, and set a time when we are all fine, and go and pack for you."

Still the same as last time.

Peng Houzhi just thought it was outrageous, then heard Su Chang smile at Chao Xin, and asked her: "Teacher Chao, is it convenient?"

This is a very high-level statement, and it is testing Chao Xin's attitude. If Chao Xin refuses to let Xiang Wan's friends come to the house, then it is not a normal co-tenancy.

Peng Houzhi applauded Su Chang in his heart.

Even Yu Zhou stopped, wiped the corners of his mouth, and waited for an answer.

"Of course." Chao Xin nodded, "Since it's a co-tenancy and Wanwan's home, her friends can of course come as guests at any time, don't ask me."

She knew what Su Chang wanted to ask, so she answered it completely. She was ready to transfer half of the right to use the house, not to take in a child.

Xiang Wan pondered: "I will try my best to find a working day and finish the move while Pai Pai is still in class, so as not to disturb her."

Chao Xin glanced at her and lowered his eyelashes again.

After dinner, Xiang Wan wants to go home with Su Chang and the others, because the place where they live now is on the way with Su Chang's family.

So they said goodbye at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, and agreed to make an appointment when they moved. Chao Xin got into the car with a smell of hot pot, and turned on the air conditioner without rushing to start it.

Then she turned on the car radio and listened to two songs.

She wanted to smoke again, but there was no more in the car. She gathered herself up and was about to drive home, but she suddenly caught a glimpse of a backpack in the back row.

When sitting in the co-pilot, Xiang Wan thought it was inconvenient to hold the bag because he wanted to have breakfast, so he threw it in the back row.

Then forget about it.

Chao Xin thought about it, she should have finished listening to three songs just now, and it was less than 15 minutes before Su Chang and the others set off. She could call Xiang Wan and ask them to wait by the roadside, or make an appointment to send them there by herself. .

But she didn't.

She called up Xiang Wan's address in the navigation.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, Xiang Wan came out of the small supermarket and bought some milk and bread for tomorrow morning. When checking out, he asked the proprietress of the small supermarket if the previous cat food was still in stock.

The proprietress said: "You are the only one who buys it. What am I going to buy? Why don't you just buy it online and send it to your home."

"Well, I'm moving too." Xiang Wan said.

"Are you going to move?" The proprietress packed the bag for her.

"Well, I'm going to study."

"Oh, you have a bright future." The proprietress said politely.

"Thank you." But Xiang Wan thanked him very seriously.

Coming out with shopping bags, she was about to see if there were any side dishes at the entrance of the community, but she saw Chao Xin's car.

It is unlikely to be mistaken, because Chao Xin's silver car is too conspicuous.

Xiang Wan was a little surprised, walked over and knocked on the car window.

Chao Xin pressed down the window of the co-pilot: "Why are you outside?"

"You forgot your bag." She said again.

She looked at the bent Xiangwan through the car window, as if looking at her from a picture frame.

The music in the car is now playing an English song called "more&more".

Holding the car door with his fingers, Xiang Wan turned his head to look at her: "Then why are you here? You can call me when you find out."

Chao Xin shook his head: "I don't like to call people and say, wait for me."

She likes to do all the preparations by herself, and then wait for others while listening to music.

like in the morning.

Xiang Wan couldn't help laughing, with some incomprehensible eccentricities.

But this is not a quirk, it may be a shadow, the shadow of fearing that someone is waiting with hope, and I will miss the appointment.Chao Xin didn't say much, got out of the car, took out the bag, and handed it to Xiang Wan: "Go up, go to bed early."

"Thank you, Mr. Chao, good night."

"Good night."

Chao Xin withdrew his hand, sat back in the car, turned on the turn signal for starting, and then disappeared into the traffic.

She drove very fast and got home before ten o'clock.

Papai didn't sleep, wrapped his bent knees in a nightgown, and watched Japanese TV dramas while eating pickled chili wind claws.

"Yeah, I'm back from my date." Papai picked up his hands, acting weird like a little adult.

Chao Xin sneered and ignored her, feeling very tired.

"Don't you feel a little ashamed? Chao Xinxin, you left a little girl who is growing up alone at home and ate two takeaway meals."

"Did you know?" Papa rested his forehead and looked at her Qi Qiran in the colorful light of the TV, "The damage of waste oil to IQ is irreversible, if I only get 81.6 in the Chinese test next time, it will be yours too reason."

"So there is already a paper that is 81.6?"

Chao Xin threw the bag on the sofa.

"how do you know?"

"It's accurate to one decimal place." Chao Xin was very tired, "Hurry up and take it out, I'll sign it."

"I dare not." Paipai hugged the pillow, very scared.

"Ok?"

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. You are so easy to talk, I am afraid." The little dumb voice was wronged again.

Chao Xin laughed and sat next to her: "There is a small matter that I want to inform you."

"Can you not inform me?" Paipai covered his ears.

Chao Xin stretched out his hand and took off her right hand. The small hand was sticky and was already very thin, but there were still a few dimples on the back of the hand.

She said: "Teacher Xiang wants to live in our house and share the rent."

Papai's facial features were all scattered, and he couldn't believe his ears: "Is this the result of your negotiation with her?"

His mouth shrunk, and he was about to cry again.

What about stopping Guqin lessons?Not only did they not stop, but they still have to get along day and night in the future?

"Stop." Chao Xin frowned, scaring her tears back, "I told her, she won't be so strict in the future."

"But my sky is falling," Papai murmured.

"What's the reason? What's the reason?" She held on to her last hope.

Chao Xin sighed deeply: "I don't want to hide some things from you, you are already grown up."

"Huh?" The little milk's voice was meandering again, and she couldn't help being startled.

"Maybe you also have a hunch, why do I ask my colleague to teach you, in exchange for teaching classes, and cook for her every week."

"Because our family," Chao Xin looked up at her, "is very poor."

"Really, really?" Paipai pursed his lips tightly.

"Ah."

"Then, Mr. Xiang, you are very rich, aren't you?" You can help their poor mother and daughter, right?

"Correct."

Papai unconsciously let his head tremble slightly, and after trying hard for nearly a minute, he finally came to a conclusion from the TV series, and whispered in a tone that was afraid of being caught: "You found a gold master?"

Chao Xin's eyes flashed, and he almost failed.

"No, no."

Papai thought about it carefully, her aunt is so beautiful, it seems understandable for Xiang Wan to covet her.But... how come you haven't reached the point where you need to find a benefactor?Moreover, I can't tell that Teacher Xiang is that kind of person.

"Auntie," she said timidly, pulling the corner of Chao Xin's clothes, "we are poorer, but my teacher said that it is not easy to betray your dignity if you are poor. Or, let's change to a smaller one." house, or you stop my extracurricular classes, I don’t want to play Guqin anymore.”

After the play, the little girl was really scared, Chao Xin smiled helplessly, and hugged her: "What are you thinking, it's just that she pays me the rent. Our bedroom is also empty, right?"

"Really?"

"Well, as long as you behave well, you can live with someone you don't know very well."

"I'm very good." Paipai looked at her with twinkling eyes.

"A well-behaved child can get a piece of candy, so a well-behaved Chao Paipai can go to the summer camp." Chao Xin said.

"Summer camp?" His eyes became brighter.

"Didn't you keep looking at the posters of the summer camp in the United States? Your teacher also told me that you will leave next week after the exam and the summer vacation. The deadline is approaching, so I will apply for it."

"That's expensive." Papai whispered.

Chao Xin tapped her nose: "So you like it and don't tell me?"

"Actually, I don't really like it." Paipai lowered his head, stirring the little flowers on the nightdress.

"Oh, but when you mentioned the summer camp just now, your voice lost its voice." Chao Xin laughed at her.

"Go to sleep, go to bed early, look good, and when you go out to play, take a nice photo for me, okay?"

"Hmm." Paipai nodded obediently.

This is just right, Chao Xin thinks, after Xiang Wan moves in, she can also get used to it, after all, she may not be used to living with many people, especially one of them is a child.

After rubbing his shoulders, Chao Xin stood up and went to take a shower.
