At 5pm, after Tang Miao finished his last class and took a taxi to leave the piano store, he received a message from He Xiao. It was a shopping receipt from Life Supermarket.

The receipt listed everything He Xiao bought. After receiving the receipt, He Xiao sent another message to Tang Miao.

Tang Miao clicked on the picture and checked the receipt sent by He Xiao. There were seven or eight ingredients on it, as well as a bottle of oolong tea. He Xiao probably bought them because he was thirsty.

Seeing Oolong tea, Tang Miao smiled, typed two words and sent it.

After He Xiao finished sending the message, Tang Miao sent him another message.

【Tang Miao: I have already taken a taxi and will be home in a few minutes.】

Tang Miao talked to He Xiao about her current position. After she sent the message, He Xiao responded and sent her a reply.

Tang Miao was slightly startled when He Xiao's message came in. She turned around and clicked on the shopping receipt again, and found that the payment time on the receipt was just five minutes ago.

This afternoon, He Xiao asked her on WeChat what time she would get off work. He probably asked her this because he wanted to calculate the time so that he could go home with her.

She thought about He Xiao going to buy food, and then he walked back to the community with the shopping bag. She thought about him standing under the willow tree at the entrance of the community, drinking oolong tea and waiting for her.

Perhaps the sunlight shines through the willow branches and spots on his body, or perhaps the autumn wind blows through the willow branches and brushes his shoulders. He just stands there quietly, looking without any direction, but waiting with a direction in his heart.

When Tang Miao thought of this scene, her heart seemed to ferment, becoming sweet, soft, yet a little sour.

The scenery on both sides of the road outside the car window was rapidly receding, and Tang Miao's heart seemed to be getting more eager to go home along with the speeding car.

Just as Tang Miao thought, He Xiao was waiting at the entrance of the community.

A few minutes later, the taxi passed the last intersection from the piano store to the community. After passing the intersection, the car slowed down and finally stopped across the road from the community gate.

The car stopped and Tang Miao scanned the code to pay the fare. After paying the fare, when Tang Miao raised his hand to open the door, He Xiao was already standing next to the car and opened the door from the outside.

The car door opened, and Tang Miao, who was sitting in the back seat, looked up. He Xiao was standing outside the car, holding a supermarket shopping bag in one hand, and the mouth of the oolong tea bottle was loosely held between his fingers. He held the car door with his other hand and also looked down at her.

The two were very close, and their eyes met. Seeing He Xiao, Tang Miao's eyes moved, and the corners of her eyes bent unconsciously. While she was smiling, He Xiao let go of his hand holding the car door, raised his hand to hold her hand, and pulled her out of the car.

Tang Miao was pulled down from the taxi by He Xiao and stood beside him. He Xiao then closed the door of the taxi. After the door was closed, the taxi driver honked the horn as if to say thank you, and then drove away.

The car left and the road suddenly became wider. The two held hands without letting go. He Xiao held the shopping bag in one hand and held Tang Miao's hand in the other, and the two walked towards the gate of the community across the road.

Tang Miao followed He Xiao. He Xiao looked at the road and walked forward, while she looked at He Xiao.

When Tang Miao just got off the car, he smelled a familiar scent, and now after seeing it clearly, Tang Miao's heart seemed to be filled with honey.

"You are wearing the same clothes I wore yesterday."

The two of them walked into the community. Tang Miao followed He Xiao, looked up at her and asked with a smile.

After she asked this, He Xiao, who was looking at the road, glanced at her sideways. The woman's eyes reflected the sunlight, shining darkly and clearly.

"Yeah. I want to wear it."

After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao's eyes curved and his smile deepened.

The two didn't say anything else. They just held hands quietly, walked through the busy neighborhood, and returned home together.

-

If you want to cook, you naturally go to Tang Miao.

He Xiao's family doesn't cook all year round. The last time Tang Miao stayed at his house, she made him breakfast and ordered takeout, and also got some cooking seasonings.

Compared with the desolate atmosphere of He Xiao's family, Tang Miao's family is much more down-to-earth.

She usually cooks for herself, and the kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils, neatly arranged. After returning home with He Xiao, Tang Miao took the shopping bag from He Xiao and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.

After Tang Miao took the shopping bag, she first placed it on the kitchen counter. Then she went to wash her hands in front of the faucet and raised her hand to pin her hair up with a big hairpin to make it easier to cook.

After doing all this, Tang Miao took out the apron and tied it on himself.

Her operation was lively and skillful because she had done it so often that she was very familiar with it. After she entered the kitchen, He Xiao stood at the kitchen door and watched her do everything.

After tying her apron, Tang Miao took out the ingredients from the shopping bag one by one, prepared to wash them, and confirmed the order of cooking. She took care of everything in an orderly manner. He Xiao stood there watching for a while, and then he watched Tang Miao open a bag of spinach and asked a question.

"Do you need help?"

After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao said "hmm" with a rising tone, then turned around to look at He Xiao who was standing at the kitchen door.

After she entered the kitchen, He Xiao stood at the door with a half-drunk cup of oolong tea in his hand. He kept watching her movements in the kitchen to see if he could help.

This was not the first time He Xiao came to her house for dinner. But last time, He Xiao was just a guest, he didn't have to do anything, just sit there and wait for food. But now, their identities were different, he would think about helping and participating.

Tang Miao thought about the changes in the two times she and He Xiao had dinner together at home, and her heart was sweetened again. But she still smiled and shook her head at He Xiao, saying, "No need."

"It's very simple. I can do it myself." Tang Miao said, "Besides, the kitchen is too small. You can't even turn around when you come in."

Tang Miao's kitchen is not really big, but it can accommodate two or three people. It's just that He Xiao is too big, and if he comes, the kitchen will probably become cramped, which will affect her cooking.

After she said this, He Xiao also glanced at the kitchen and did not insist.

He looked at the busy Tang Miao and said, "I'll clean up after dinner."

He Xiao assigned himself a task.

Since he couldn't help at the same time, he could always clean up after the work was done, which would be considered as participation. After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao, who was washing spinach, looked back and smiled.

-

Tang Miao is organized, so the meal was ready quickly.

According to the recipe He Xiao gave, Tang Miao prepared three dishes and one soup for the two of them. He Xiao had been eating out for a while and his taste was heavy, so he wanted to eat something lighter now.

Just behind their community, across a river, is the largest park in Huaicheng.

And who would have thought that such peace and stability was initially proposed by He Xiao.

The park is not completely dark because there are street lights and light strips on the lawn.

It was a strange combination of circumstances that brought them together and caused them to overlap. Even though they overlapped and developed feelings for each other, they were still people from two different worlds.

This kind of need requires heart.

After a busy day, people will go out for a walk after dinner when they have nothing to do and don't want to stay at home. Especially as the weather has turned cooler recently, more people are going out for a walk.

"Do you want to go to the park?"

The park is the first choice.

Tang Miao likes it. When she is here, she feels a sense of stability and peace in life.

It’s nice to go to the park and play for a while like this, we can be together and not be too bored.

At six o'clock, the sun showed no sign of setting. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony, the orange-red light shone obliquely on the floor and furnishings in the house.

Tang Miao looked at He Xiao, held He Xiao's fingers, and tightened them slightly. Her heart was always sweet, and she always felt that she and He Xiao were not from the same world.

When Tang Miao thought of this, he glanced at He Xiao.

Originally, after she and He Xiao had dinner, she didn't know what to do.

The two looked at each other, Tang Miao smiled at him, and He Xiao looked at her smile and asked.

But compared to daytime, it was still a little dim. No matter how dim it was, the woman's eyes were always bright and clear. Her smile was calm and gentle, without any deliberate seduction, but it always made He Xiao's heart beat.

She has always wanted to live an ordinary life, with a job and a home, but in addition to work and home, an ordinary family also has entertainment.

Going further inside, there is another small square.

The park is very big, but because there are so many people, there is not much quiet place. Tang Miao and He Xiao held hands and walked along the path. The evening breeze brought a little coolness. Tang Miao and He Xiao walked like this, and they also felt that it was good.

Tang Miao got off work at five o'clock, and when he and He Xiao returned home it was just after five o'clock. Now that the meal was ready, it was just six o'clock.

Most of the ordinary life is not so colorful, and we don’t go to bars or some expensive places.

After cleaning the kitchen, He Xiao took a piece of kitchen paper and wiped the water droplets off his fingers. He stood at the kitchen door, his tall figure blocking the light coming in from the kitchen window. The light outlined a circle of golden light and shadow on his body. Tang Miao sat on the sofa and watched. He Xiao wiped the water droplets, threw away the paper ball, and looked at her.

-

But this is not allowed.

In such a warm environment, the restaurant was filled with the aroma of light food. Two people sat across a marble table, and the occasional clinking of bowls and chopsticks made crisp sounds, making everything feel safe and peaceful.

After arriving at the park, the two were bombarded with a round of sound. When the bombardment was almost over, they walked along the path. In front of them, there were children playing football.

And he knew that she wanted to live such a life, so he would learn and observe, and lead her to live her ideal life.

What she didn't expect was that the first time she came to the park, she was with He Xiao.

After the meal was ready, the two of them filled their bowls with rice and sat on either side of the dining table.

After clearing the dishes, He Xiao didn't say anything more. He cleared the dishes on the table and took them to the kitchen, where he washed the dishes and cooking utensils used today.

While He Xiao was cleaning the kitchen, Tang Miao cleaned up the dining room and the dining table. Not long after, He Xiao also finished cleaning the kitchen, and the room became clean again.

This was the greatest romance Tang Miao had ever felt.

Although Tang Miao had moved here for a while and had listened to songs and saxophone for a while, this was his first time to come to this park.

He Xiao may not be a down-to-earth person, and he may have never experienced such a day.

The style of Tang Miao's house is warm, so the light of the sunset can spread out and infinitely magnify the proportion of warmth.

After dinner and cleaning the house, the two had nothing to do, so they came to the park leisurely.

In the afternoon, he adjusted his schedule and woke up, chatted with her, and they decided to have dinner together. Then he took the initiative to go shopping for groceries. After buying the groceries, he waited for her to get home from get off work at the gate of the community.

Outside the park is a small square with three square dance groups singing and dancing. There are also some kids playing with skateboards or roller skates.

She seemed to understand why He Xiao brought her to the park.

He Xiao took note of her life ideals, so after work was finished and he returned to Huaicheng and ended her dinner with Hui Xiao, he took her back to peace and ordinary life.

Noisy and bustling.

It is so lively during the day and even more lively at night, like a square.

The park is surrounded by residential areas, so many people come to play in the park. Not only at night, but also during the day, Tang Miao can hear people singing or playing saxophone in the park at home.

After picking her up, they held hands and went home. She went to the kitchen to cook, and He Xiao wanted to come over to help, but she refused, so He Xiao took on the work after dinner, cleaning the kitchen utensils and tidying up the kitchen.

Looking at her smile, He Xiao took her hand and bent down to kiss her on the lips.

If you think about it carefully, isn't this exactly the life Tang Miao wants?

Parks are places for dating, bringing children, exercising, and taking a walk. Just like vegetable markets, they are indispensable in our ordinary lives.

It is more real, clear and strong than a bouquet of flowers or a song. Any romance can be paved with money and built with material things.

Tang Miao didn't sleep very much at night, and she didn't sleep much at all. She had a normal appetite, but in this situation, she actually ate a bowl of rice. He Xiao had hardly eaten anything today, and after she finished eating, He Xiao cleared the remaining food.

Tang Miao's fingers didn't have much strength, but He Xiao could feel it. He raised his hand and looked at it, then looked at Tang Miao again.

When he raised his hand, Tang Miao looked up and smiled at him.

Tang Miao’s ideal in life is very simple, which is to live an ordinary life.

Today's dishes are all very light, including spinach soup, stir-fried lotus leaves, stir-fried broccoli, and celery beef.

This return began this afternoon.

She remembered that last time at the music festival in Pucheng, she got drunk and chatted with He Xiao for a while. Before she blacked out, she and He Xiao also talked about some ideal things in life.

There are mountains, towers, suspension bridges and a lake in the park. The lakeside has been made into a beach, and the scenery is very nice.

And now, He Xiao did not make any promises to her, nor did he say anything specifically to her. He was letting his life sink, sink into her world, overlapping with her life trajectory.

They held hands, walked on the paths in the park, listened to square dance songs, watched children playing football, immersed themselves in the lives of ordinary people, and felt the fireworks of this world.

This area is a relatively noisy place. It is quieter along the path leading into the park from the square. There are lawns everywhere in the park, with flashing light strips on the lawns, and outside the lawns is a river.

However, there are few people in this square, and most of them are adults who bring their children to play, to calm their children down and let them go home early to have a good sleep.
