Chapter 76 Turn off the lights and do bad things...
Xu Ji went back home on his birthday. The family of four had a simple meal together, and then Song Liwei went with him to Jiang Zhen's house to pick up Alaska.
"Just now, I didn't dare to ask you in front of your parents. How is it going? When are you going to bring your girlfriend back so I can see her?"
Xu Ji didn't specify a time, but instead asked, "Is the red envelope ready?"
Song Liwei immediately laughed and hit him, "Why are you so eager to get the money for changing your statement? Are you breaking the rules?"
Xu Ji's mouth curved up, revealing a rare adolescent boy's shy expression in front of his uncle. He said, "A meeting gift."
"You have to wait until you meet and call me 'uncle' before giving me a meeting gift."
…
Alaska is very energetic. He was fostered by Jiang Zhen for more than half a year and was almost tortured to death. He finally waited for the day when Xu Ji came to pick him up.
Jiang Zhen clasped his hands together and bowed to the two living fathers again and again with great piety. He almost wanted to beat drums and gongs to send them off.
Before leaving, he politely rubbed Mengmeng's head and said with a smile, "Don't come again. I'm going to start renovating my house tomorrow."
Mengmeng, who had been fostered from time to time by his unreliable father for work reasons since childhood, frequently wandered around in pet shops and kennels in the big city. He had developed an independent character and strong adaptability as early as when he was a puppy. In the past six months since he returned to the west of Shanghai, after many twists and turns, he finally moved from the home of his "godfather" Jiang Zhen to the home of Song Liwei, who is related to his biological father by blood.
To round it off, we are now a family.
Next time, next time dad will definitely take me home.
Little Xu Mengmeng thought naively with beautiful expectations.
In the evening, a few people who had not gathered for a long time took advantage of Xu Ji's birthday to organize a party and gave him a big meal in the name of celebrating his birthday.
Tao Siyun was quite surprised by other people's reactions when they found out that she and Xu Ji were together.
She was a little embarrassed tonight, worried that Jiang Zhen and the others would tease her again, but she didn't expect that everyone only made noise for a few minutes while waiting for the food, and after the blessings, they went on to talk about other things.
A little unexpected.
It seemed that in their eyes, it was only a matter of time before she and Xu Ji were together, and there was no suspense at all.
Is it because of what happened between her and Xu Ji in high school that everyone now thinks it is natural for them to be together?
Why...
Tao Siyun held the cup and drank water, glancing in Xu Ji's direction from time to time, thinking about some random things.
For the first time, I had this wonderful feeling that "everyone thinks we are a good match."
He sat between Jiang Zhen and Cao Wenzhen, the same seat as at the previous class reunion.
Originally, Xu Ji wanted to sit next to her, but Tao Siyun was shy and not used to acting so "slutty" in front of everyone, so as soon as she entered the box, she let go of his hand and sat directly next to Li Huan.
A few people at the table were eating and talking about something, and they were having a great time again.
Suddenly, someone touched my arm.
Tao Siyun turned his head, "Huh?"
Li Huan leaned over while pouring her a drink and lowered his voice, "Um, have you tried it?"
Tao Siyun said "Huh?" and asked stupidly, "Try what?"
“…”
Li Huan understood everything as soon as he saw her expression. He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and glanced at the man opposite him. Finally, he swallowed back the words "Could Xu Ji be capable?" As if he had discovered some great secret, he said to her in a profound tone: "I know, the problem lies with him."
“…”
Tao Siyun's heart skipped a beat, and when he realized what was happening, he was speechless. He moved silently closer to Ji Yao.
Unexpectedly, Li Huan, a top student with a strong thirst for knowledge, came up to him again, begging in disbelief, "No way..."
The guy who wore a formal suit and stuns everyone at the first class reunion and even intends to seduce you, but at the critical moment he is so cowardly that he resorts to pure love?
Li Huan suddenly felt that Xu Ji's character had collapsed...
He looks like he's doing pretty well, but could it be that... he's all show and no substance?
Tao Siyun had no idea what was going on in Li Huan's head. She put down her chopsticks awkwardly and said to her defensively, "I remember I said last time that I would never sit with you again..."
"Oh, I'm just asking, don't be like this~"
***
After dinner, on the way back, Tao Siyun kept thinking about the birthday present she had prepared. When Xu Ji talked to her, she looked absent-minded, which seemed particularly perfunctory to someone.
When they arrived at the underground garage, Xu Ji parked the car and leaned over to unbuckle her seat belt.
The distance between them suddenly shortened, and Tao Siyun's back almost instantly straightened, and he unconsciously leaned against the seat, "I can do it myself..."
Xu Ji raised his eyes and looked at her closely. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but a smile appeared on his lips. He deliberately leaned closer and asked, "You kept looking at me while we were eating, but now that we're in the car, why are you ignoring me? Are you playing hard to get?"
“…”
You are playing hard to get.
Tao Siyun pursed her lips, suddenly remembering the photo Ji Yao had sent her, so she asked curiously, "Ji Yao said one of your photos was very popular on the Beijing University Forum?"
Click——
The buckle clicked softly and the seat belt unfastened.
Ji Yao's original words were: "Xu Ji is a very attractive person. When he was at Peking University, girls would secretly take pictures of him wherever he went. Just look at this amazing picture that has been forwarded so many times that it's become patinated. It is said that the school forum was going crazy at the time."
The side profile is very blurry.
Wearing a white shirt and black trousers, Xu Ji rested his left hand, which was wearing a watch, on the desk, his tie hanging down, his eyes fixed on the computer screen.
Even the casual styling gives people the feeling of filming an idol drama...
Xu Ji nudged Tao Siyun's face and said, "I was temporarily covering a class for Li Zetao. He applied for teaching assistantship to get credits, but he got acute appendicitis before class and was taken away in an ambulance."
"……oh."
No wonder, no wonder he dressed like he was going on a blind date, so that's how it is.
…
It was not yet twelve o'clock when Xu Ji came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. Just as he was about to rest, the doorbell rang.
When I opened the door, I saw Tao Siyun standing there.
Xu Ji glanced at the cello in her hand, his eyes changed slightly, and his hand holding the door handle quietly tightened. He immediately guessed something.
Sure enough, the next second, Tao Siyun took the initiative to speak: "Can I come in?"
How can say no……
No one can refuse her, Xu Ji thought.
He raised his eyebrows, took two steps back into the room and let her in.
The two houses have exactly the same layout, but completely different styles. This directly reflects the differences in aesthetics between brothers and sisters, and between men and women.
Tao Qian decorated his home in Italian minimalist style. The whole house is in Maillard color scheme, and the furniture is mainly in black, white and brown.
The living room is large, with no main light and dimmed indoor lighting. In the glass vase on the table are yellow roses and daisies that Tao Siyun bought from the flower shop yesterday. He had just changed the water, and the bright yellow color jumped out particularly in the space, making the originally monotonous background suddenly become less dull.
Tao Siyun was wearing an off-white French palace-style nightgown with a very complicated design, lace, a large square collar, puff sleeves, and calf-length.
Her feet in white cotton socks rested on the dark wooden floor, and her waist-length hair hung down over her shoulders.
What she held in her hand seemed not to be a bow, but a fairy wand from a fairy tale book...
Xu Ji leaned on the sofa cushion and looked at the person opposite quietly in the dim light.
The scene before him made him feel like he was dreaming.
If musical notes could turn into physical objects, he would probably be surrounded by a group of sparkling, flying elves by now.
Xu Ji couldn't see the expression on her face.
But "ambiguity" is a medium that can be transmitted. The moment Tao Siyun played the violin, he felt everything.
In the last few minutes of the first day of his twenty-fifth birthday, Xu Ji received the birthday present he wanted most when he was eighteen.
Although it was seven years late, Tao Siyun always remembered it and made it up to him tonight.
His gift has not expired until now.
The two of them were not far away from each other, and Xu Ji just stared at her motionlessly for a long time.
The deep and heavy piano music made the scene before my eyes hazy, creating an extreme contrast between vision and hearing to a certain extent. It combined romance and reality, and was as beautiful as a classical oil painting from the Victorian era.
I don’t know how long it took before the piano music stopped.
"Well, I might be a little rusty, so please bear with me for a while." Tao Siyun sat on a chair in the middle of the living room, looking as nervous as a contestant on the stage waiting for the instructor's comments.
Xu Ji silently tapped the armrest of the sofa. After a long while, he slowly said, "Come here."
Tao Siyun hesitated for a moment, put down the cello, and walked slowly to him.
Xu Ji patted his leg, the meaning was clear.
Tao Siyun's eyes were conflicted, and her figure was also conflicted. Her hands were tightly clutching her skirt, and she didn't move for a long time.
Xu Ji couldn't wait for her to take the initiative, so he had to take the initiative himself.
Tao Siyun was held in his arms, and they faced each other.
The nightgown was very long, and the fabric was piled on the light brown sofa, like white clouds floating in the sky, or like a ball of soft marshmallow.
Cover up everything that needs to be covered up.
This posture inexplicably reminded her of a highly aesthetic photograph she had seen before.
Black and white tones, related to body art, and sitting like they are now.
From the shooting angle, the man's naked back creates a considerable visual stimulation due to his body shape resembling a cello, and the photographer's intentionally designed misplaced posture.
The girl sitting astride the man looked towards the camera, one hand around his neck and the other at his waist, making the perfect cello-playing gesture.
…
Tao Siyun's originally straight back froze. She couldn't help but curl up her toes hidden in her skirt. She didn't know where to put her hands.
The two looked at each other closely for a few seconds, and Xu Ji suddenly raised his hand to press the switch on the wall.
The living room immediately fell into darkness.
Tao Siyun was startled and asked nervously, "Why did you turn off the lights?"
Her answer was a deep kiss that almost suffocated her.
When vision is deprived, other senses will be infinitely magnified.
In the darkness, the sounds of breathing and heartbeats were intertwined.
Xu Ji took the time to answer her question between kisses: "Turn off the lights and do bad things."
Tao Siyun was startled and pushed him subconsciously.
"no!"
"If you move again, I won't be polite."
