Chapter 20: Taste Sharing: I can only taste your taste...
"Can I have this?"
Meng Yuzhi was not like the polite sponsor in the movies, who let the boy who had been waiting for him for a long time sit in a luxury car and gave him some inspiring and touching words to persuade him to study hard.
So the boys were still waiting for the shuttle bus at the rain pavilion.
He was thinking, the girl just now was so pretty, with fair skin, a slim figure, and a sweet mouth. The person who took her home was actually her husband. No matter how you look at it, the two of them didn't seem to be a good match, just like a rabbit falling into a wolf's den, especially an older wolf.
Someone interrupted his thoughts.
The boy looked up and saw a man wearing a short-sleeved shirt and all-black sportswear with a darker complexion. The baseball cap cast a shadow over half of the man's face. He saw the man's thin lips twitched stiffly.
"May I?"
The slightly muscular arm pointed, and the boy came back to his senses.
“Sorry, this business card is mine…”
"I mean, the drink bottle."
What? A rag picker.
Nowadays, rag pickers dress so fashionably and have such great figures?
The boy generously rushed to the trash can and wanted to pour out the drinks inside for the man, but he heard him angrily scold him not to do so. Then he understood and bought a few cans of drinks.
"It's all yours. You can't drink what others have left. It's not clean."
Lin Zhun laughed and only took one thing.
She thanked the innocent boy in a calm tone.
I snorted in my heart, what do you know?
Lin Jun could still smell the refreshing fragrance left by the girl from the bottles.
Liuai prefers foods with excessive sugar content.
Add an extra serving of ice cream for dessert.
Chi Liuai was childish after all, and Meng Yuzhi didn't really wrong her in the end. He gave her everything he deserved, and he also kept what Chi Liuai gave back.
After getting off the car, he carried Chi Liuai to the bathroom.
Meng Yuzhi did not have the habit of watching the night news with his family in the living room after dinner. Chi Liuai went to the study with her uniquely shaped ice cream in her hand.
It seems that this is Chi Liuai's world.
She was more familiar with the structure of the study than Meng Yuzhi. Chi Liuai thought of the novel she left on the study last night and on the desk where Meng Yuzhi usually handled affairs.
Orthopedics, brother and sister.
Chi Liuai was sweating profusely.
After all, Brother Yuzhi had warned her at the last moment: "If you do it again, the lesson will not be just this." It was unclear whether this sentence came from inner intimidation or inducement. Chi Liuai looked at the rain-soaked window glass with hazy eyes. The water droplets formed a web, leaving mottled marks.
Is it really placed here?
Chi Liuai still couldn't find it. She pretended nothing happened and moved to the edge of the sofa little by little, wondering if she had lost the novel because she stayed in the study that night.
Where is it?
Where is it?
Meng Yuzhi hung up the phone, freed one hand, and pressed down the little hand that was groping on his body with ill intentions. He lowered his eyes and looked at her, not knowing what evil intentions Chi Liuai had in mind.
Chi Liuai withdrew her hand and took a bite of the tip of the ice cream in front of Meng Yuzhi, indicating that she wanted to eat more ice cream. Meng Yuzhi let go of her hand. She wasted the best time to taste the ice cream, and the taste lost its original coolness, which made the potential sweetness more prominent and a bit unpalatable.
And she enjoyed an ice cream outside.
Even when hunting for food in the wild, you can't be too greedy.
Meng Yuzhi's lips pressed against a spoonful of half-melted sweet liquid, a generous gift from Chi Liuai. As the ice cream in the spoon nearly turned to liquid, Chi Liuai stuffed it back into her mouth. The ever-mysophobic Meng Yuzhi stared at her, lips parted, tongue tipped. Her special spoon scooped out a fresh batch, raised it again, and dotted Meng Yuzhi's lips.
He still tasted it, just one bite.
Chi Liuai asked, "Is it very sweet? I think it has a smooth texture and a refreshing vanilla flavor. But at the end, I can actually feel the pastry chef's clever combination of flavors. There's peach in it..."
Chi Liuai had great difficulty memorizing the food blogger's introduction, but he recited it fluently in front of Meng Yuzhi.
She also learned something during this period, although it was about wine tasting.
They are all tasting, there is no difference between tasting wine, tea, men, and ice cream.
Chi Liuai thought, with her eloquence and beautiful language, who could be more qualified than her to be the wife of the elegant Brother Yu Zhi!
What's sweet?
Meng Yuzhi couldn't taste this one bite.
not to mention.
Meng Yuzhi felt that Chi Liuai's act of leaving his saliva on the spoon and letting him share it was a revenge for his last action of wiping it with his hand.
"Normally." Meng Yuzhi paused and thought for a moment, "It all tastes like you. Is this what you want Daddy to taste?"
He imitated Chi Liuai's mosquito-like voice calling "daddy" in the car vividly.
Chi Liuai blushed and was about to leave.
"There will be a new fighting teacher next week, Liu Ai. Ms. Chi, you will need the strength of a normal person."
Chi Liuai refused to accept the offer: "I am the King of Strength!"
"Really, King Dali." Meng Yuzhi placed his hand on Chi Liuai's waist and easily placed her on the edge of the desk with one hand. "Have you learned to open the bottle cap by yourself now?"
Okay, stingy brother Yuzhi.
Meng Yuzhi didn't expect Chi Liuai to learn to abide by the clause in the marriage agreement that "don't communicate too much with the opposite sex."
During these days of getting along, he discovered that in Chi Liuai's eyes, men and women were all flowers passing by on the street, and she would smile at them when she had nothing to do.
Chi Liuai shook his head.
"You should learn to be single-minded, good boy," Meng Yuzhi said. "If you're fickle, you might lose a lot. Do I need to make this clearer?"
Chi Liuai nodded, then showed a vulnerable expression.
She was suspected by Brother Yuzhi again.
It's always like this. Chi Liuai can really swear to heaven that during this marriage, she will definitely only be with Brother Yuzhi.
She swore that she would only spend Brother Yuzhi's money!
What's even more depressing is that Chi Liuai discovered that she seemed to have no talent at all when it came to seducing Brother Yuzhi.
Why can't Brother Yuzhi like her a little more?
Chi Liuai said fiercely: "I don't want to learn how to unscrew bottle caps, I just want Brother Yuzhi to help me."
Although at the age of ten she could punch and chase away the fat boy who chased after her and cursed her for having no parents.
——
The next day, Chi Liuai, with a bad temper in his heart, got up early, which was rare for him.
Still in her loose nightgown, with a tulle blouse over it that hung at her ankles, she pestered the morning cook to tighten the screws on the latest airlift of jam jars.
According to her perfect plan, Brother Yuzhi would read the newspaper in the tea room after breakfast. She was distressed and asked Brother Yuzhi to help her solve the annoying jam lid. She really wanted to taste the taste of crispy toast with butter and sweet jam. This was her childhood memory. Then she stayed up late to search for some love tips on the website. She memorized 800 words. Even Brother Yuzhi’s grandfather would praise her, except for Meng Ran of course.
Six o'clock!
Chi Liuai looked in the mirror. She thought her right cheek looked better, so she struck an elegant posture for morning reading.
Meng Yuzhi walked downstairs while fastening the metal buckle of her watch. Chen Hui's work report was faster than Chi Liuai's pace. Before she could get a word in, she stepped barefoot on the soft carpet. The hem of her skirt swept across Meng Yuzhi's leather shoes and disappeared. She had forgotten to take the jam!
Unfortunately, Meng Yuzhi has left.
He didn’t even show his back to Chi Liuai.
The words "I'll wait for you to come home!" were on her lips but she hadn't even uttered them.
Everything is empty.
Chi Liuai was silent for a while, hesitant, but finally made up his mind.
Her buttered toast should have a few slices of salty cheese to make it sweet and savory.
I should also make a cup of Australian white.
She had just learned how to draw flowers, and the saplings she transplanted last time were still waiting for her to water them. The magpies returned to their nests after the rain, and Chi Liuai even prepared a bird growth manual for them. It was a rare day off for her, and she should enjoy her time. Chi Liuai felt a little regretful that she should not have rejected the boy's request to exchange WeChat last night, so that she might have gained another friend.
Don’t think too much about it.
bite--
The bread is out of the oven.
Chi Liuai's heart felt like it was stung by an ant. Smelling the warm and sweet scent, her heart felt numb.
Then, I sat alone at the dining table, taking photos and having a meal as usual.
She picked up the jam, but couldn't twist it open. She was stunned for a moment. Well, she forgot about the tendon of the chef's arm, not to mention her request: "Twist the jam lid like the boss's head."
It was quiet all around.
Chi Liuai held the jam.
When the chef left, the guards would not enter the house without permission and would patrol the outer grounds, and not even the live-in nanny stayed in the main house.
Well, she persuaded herself again, let's taste the toast.
She baked this herself.
The crispy toast slices were also wasted in the best savoring time because of excessive posing.
It's cold.
At this time, a message popped up on Chi Liuai's cell phone. The Chi family finally remembered Chi Liuai who had disappeared for a long time, and Chi Cheng asked her to go home.
The agreement on the table was extremely eye-catching.
After Chi Liuai lived in the Meng family for a while, the Chi family seemed to finally realize that they still had a girl who had not returned.
A phone call called Chi Liuai back. To be honest, Chi Liuai was a little excited because the gift she asked from Brother Yuzhi was finally useful.
But before she could wave the bag in her hand towards Chi Baoyuan's face, Chi Cheng called her to the study, where Chi Huaiyuan, Chi Baoyuan, and a lawyer were sitting, and everyone had a serious look on their faces.
Chi Huaiyuan was not a father figure with a strong presence in Chi Liuai's memory. Because of this distance, Chi Liuai had a somewhat good impression of him.
For example, I would take the initiative to take her for a physical examination.
He would occasionally side with her after conflicts arose between her and Chi Baoyuan. Chi Huaiyuan was the only person in the family who would scold Chi Baoyuan for her.
This good impression vanished completely when Chi Liuai saw her elderly father, who had always been weak and feigning illness at home, walking briskly in a love hotel. She always had the illusion that her arguments with Chi Baoyuan would always end when her father intervened, and the rift between them would deepen when he intervened. Before Chi Liuai could sort out her confusion, he would hide behind Chi Cheng again.
"I don't want it! Why should the money left to Chi Baoyuan be so much more than that given to me?" Chi Liuai couldn't help but point at Chi Baoyuan, who was pretending to be nice in a corner. It was very eye-catching. "She has no right to inherit more than me."
Chi Huaiyuan's face darkened, and the cigarette in Chi Cheng's mouth sounded like a firecracker. Both of them were so shocked by Chi Liuai's words that their eyes went dark.
Her father is here doing inheritance justice, and she is asking if she can get more.
Especially after Chi Baoyuan sincerely said that he didn't want his father to leave him and that his father would live a long life.
Chi Liuai also asked with tears in his eyes: "Dad, can you leave it all to me? You know, I am the most useless child. I can't support myself. Chi Cheng is useful. Let him start from scratch."
Yes, she has been looking forward to her father's death.
Chi Huaiyuan coughed a few times, Chi Baoyuan hurriedly poured water, and Chi Cheng put out the cigarette and patted his father's spine which had already bent. The disease had tortured his father beyond recognition.
It really looks like it.
It’s true.
Even her temper was exactly the same, as if that woman had appeared before him all over again. Chi Huaiyuan forced a smile at the daughter who most resembled his ex-wife.
"Why don't you tell me why Baoyuan is not qualified?"
Is there any need to explain this reason?
Chi Baoyuan knew it, Chi Cheng knew it, and Chi Liuai, the biggest victim of the child-swap case, remembered it even more vividly.
Because Chi Baoyuan is not the biological child of the Chi family.
Everyone was waiting for Chi Liuai to explain the reason for this taboo.
The phone was hot in Chi Baoyuan's hand, and that photo was a big bargaining chip.
Regarding Chi Liuai's reputation, she never told Chi Cheng and Chi Huaiyuan.
She is not a child of the Chi family, but she can be the only girl that the Chi family can offer for marriage.
"Because she's not as pretty as me."
Chi Liuai gave the most authoritative reason.
"She's not as smart, sensible, or obedient as I am. She also likes to put on airs. She's not as kind as me, and she likes to show off. This is a disgrace to the Chi family!!"
"Get out."
Chi Cheng pushed Chi Liuai, and in an instant, the study was in turmoil. The lawyer had seen families fighting over property and brothers and sisters killing each other, but he had never seen Chi Liuai so naive.
I even think what she said makes some sense.
Only give one million.
A useless person like her received too little inheritance, and telecom fraud would probably list her as a VIP.
"This money is Baoyuan's dowry. Leaving the company to Chi Cheng is for the Chi family. You just need to live peacefully with this one million. You won't suffer any hardship."
"Then why don't you leave the company to me! You're mistreating me by letting Chi Cheng marry into your family." Chi Liuai was dissatisfied. "Chi Baoyuan is also a selfish person. She only thinks about herself."
Chi Cheng pinched the soft flesh on Chi Liuai's face and said, "Baoyuan is selfish? If she was selfish, she would have sent you to jail when you did that thing. Why would you be throwing a tantrum here now?"
"If you don't want the entire internet to know tomorrow that you poisoned your sister, then be quiet."
The property notarization was over, and Chi Liuai was in a state of disgrace. He hurriedly said that he was going to pack his luggage and locked himself in a remote little room on the second floor.
That was Chi Baoyuan’s childhood room before he was ten years old. It was small in size.
But Chi Liuai heard that it was decorated by her deceased mother herself. The little girl who had just arrived at the Chi family tremblingly tested it, wondering if Chi Baoyuan grew up in this room?
The servant said yes.
Chi Liuai insisted on moving in and said that he also wanted to grow up in this room.
It was really unnecessary for Chi Liuai to close the door. No one would actively look for her, nor would they care whether she cried or laughed in this room. Why did she close the door so tightly to block out her crying?
After she calmed down, without leaving a single hair behind, she staggered down the stairs carrying a huge suitcase.
She deliberately bumped into the floor and the stairs, sighing with fatigue. She kept bumping and bumping until she reached the front door, but no one in her family threatened her: "Chi Liuai, you disobedient child, if you dare to run out and stay out all night again, I'll punish you."
If someone said that, she would have the opportunity to throw away her suitcase, put her hands on her hips and proudly say: "I am going to marry Brother Yuzhi, of course I have to live with Brother Yuzhi. You didn't expect that you are a bunch of poor guys, and I will live the life of a rich wife!"
"Where are you going?"
Chi Baoyuan had been sitting on the sofa in the main hall. She looked indifferently at the drooping corners of Chi Liuai's mouth.
"I want to die, die outside, disappear forever, and never see you again." Chi Liuai thought, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, turned her head away, and after a while, said awkwardly.
"sorry."
"I'm really sorry about that."
Chi Baoyuan also slowly asked: "In the Chi family, you always thought I was your sister, right?"
The girl's back disappeared very quickly, and she had completely lost the hesitation she had in moving the luggage. It was as if she had heard something very shocking and was thrown out.
Chi Baoyuan was surprised.
"Don't worry about Baoyuan. She will be back in a few days. Dad will take the notarized inheritance certificate to see Mr. Meng later. He has something to tell you." Chi Cheng said from the second floor.
So vicious.
Chi Liuai covered her chest, still thinking about Chi Baoyuan's words. Chi Baoyuan had never thought of being her sister until now.
Beating her at this time, isn't it just to drive her out of the Chi family!
Fortunately, she ran fast, otherwise she wouldn't even have one million.
There are few taxis outside. This is a villa area, and the Chi family has a dedicated driver. What makes it even more uncomfortable is that she thinks the Chi family will be reluctant to let her leave, and will prepare a dinner for her and send her off to the Meng family in a grand manner.
So, she specifically told Chen Hui not to pick her up.
She didn't even have lunch.
"Are you satisfied with the chef's skills? He's from a well-established restaurant, and Darcy wants to try some traditional dishes."
Cheng Xuewei once again took Chi Liuai in. After hearing her quietly tell Cheng Xuewei the secret that Mr. Meng forbad her to tell, she warned Cheng Xuewei with a look of no surprise not to tell anyone else.
It's a secret.
Cheng Xuewei smiled and said, "This is probably a secret known to everyone. The news of Mr. Meng's short-term female luxury has spread throughout the circle. Everyone knows that Mr. Meng may have a female companion."
"I just didn't expect it to be you."
Chi Liuai had a hearty meal at Sister Xuewei's house and then sunbathed in the pool with Xuewei. Suddenly, she rested her chin on Cheng Xuewei's shoulder, clinging to her like a little animal. She begged her sister, "Sister Xuewei, can you tell me about Brother Yuzhi?"
"What do you want to know?"
Feeling a little thirsty, Chi Liuai urgently needs a cup of iced, extra-large milk tea with full sugar. She has a sweet tooth, especially when she is in a bad mood. She cherishes and looks forward to the silky taste of this cup of milk tea.
She took a sip and replied, "What would happen if an item didn't meet Brother Yuzhi's expectations?"
So sweet, so greasy.
Chi Liuai couldn't stand the sticky feeling of milk and low-quality saccharin mixed in her mouth. Neither the texture nor the taste could satisfy Chi Liuai, who had been eating healthy food for a long time, so she threw the milk tea aside.
A very casual action.
"Mr. Meng won't waste his time on someone like this."
Cheng Xuewei pointed out that this was an answer that even outsiders knew, and there was no need to know more about Meng Yuzhi.
If the expected goals and actual results do not match, they must be abandoned.
Chi Liuai's hands were empty, and her heart slowly became empty as well. She looked at the drink she had just taken a sip of, and then looked at the ripples in the swimming pool.
Even Chi Liuai, who had nothing, had learned to give up, let alone Meng Yuzhi, who had everything.
Chi Liuai forced herself to finish the drink, despite herself. It was rare for her to feel so foolish. She had rejected her tutor's study plan, and these past few afternoons, while finishing her homework, she'd secretly put on her Bluetooth and hide in Mr. Meng's study, pretending to be working. No one dared to barge in and check if she was studying seriously. She should just bite the bullet and complete the demanding and tedious homework, get straight A's, and become that perfect girl.
This will leave a little bit of a good impression on Brother Yuzhi. At least when Brother Yuzhi tears up the agreement and asks her to pack up and leave, he will waive her 10 million yuan in liquidated damages.
While waiting for the driver to pick her up, Chi Liuai sat on the steps under the terrace for a while. The floor there was scorching hot. Cheng Xuewei leaned out from the terrace and said with a smile, "Baby, smile a little. Don't forget you have an etiquette class this afternoon."
Chi Liuai no longer dared to slack off. After seeing off her teacher, she nervously hinted to the new teacher that she must say a few good words about herself in front of Brother Yuzhi, but never describe herself as as arrogant as a country calf like Teacher Sad. She had seen the vitality of country calves in movies, and she liked this animal. However, no matter how shameless Chi Liuai was, it did not mean that Sad could criticize her as a cruel and bad child. The calf also had to have self-respect.
The female teacher was Lu Qiushui, a Chinese woman in her early forties, well-mannered. She looked at Chi Liuai in the gentle breeze and said with a smile, "Why would I criticize you? You're just a good kid."
Chi Liuai was stunned. He looked down at his bare feet, his toes slightly opening and closing on the blanket, and felt itchy inside.
She seemed to see Meng Yuzhi.
She also wondered if Brother Yuzhi would still recognize her like Teacher Qiu Shui after he knew about that incident.
No, Brother Yuzhi will punish her.
In the evening, Chi Liuai's heart, which was about to jump out, finally stopped beating.
Chen Hui smiled and said, "Miss Chi's father, brother, and sister said they had something to discuss with Mr. Meng. He will probably be home late."
The girl screamed and buried her face in her hands.
She's finished.
