Chapter 373 You Have Changed
Xu Qingsong carried Xiaoci out and waited in the living room for Liu Wangxue to wash and change clothes.
Liu Wangxue also wore sportswear. The two of them took the three of them out and walked along the cement road towards the asphalt road.
It's winter now, and the cold air in the early morning makes my lungs feel cool.
The lush green of summer and the golden color of autumn are basically gone, and the poplar trees beside the asphalt road are left with only bare branches, and a layer of wet dead grass covers the roadside.
The rice in the fields had been harvested last month, and now only the plowed soil, soaked with damp moisture, remained.
Pengpeng’s favorite lotus leaves are gone. There is only a layer of withered and wrinkled leaves hanging on the crooked lotus stems in the lotus field.
Liu Wangxue put Xiaoci on his shoulder, let it squat, and looked up at the sky: "It's still cloudy. Maybe it will rain today."
Xu Qingsong raised his hand to catch Gua Gua, who had flown back in a circle, and looked up: "Well, the forecast says it will rain soon."
When they reached the asphalt road, Liu Wangxue looked down at the road surface and said to Xu Qingsong, "You can run with Pengpeng first. The road surface is quite wet and Xiaoci will definitely not want to get off."
Xu Qingsong reached out and stroked Xiaoci from head to toe: "You are lazy and a germaphobe, you are really something."
Xiaoci flicked his tail and swept his hand: "Meow~"
Xu Qingsong threw Gua Gua into the air and said, "Fly, wait for us in front."
It made two chirping sounds, then flew out and turned into a small black dot.
Pengpeng was eager to try. Xu Qingsong made a preparatory posture for a running start. Pengpeng followed his example and prepared to rush forward.
Liu Wangxue looked at them and smiled. He picked up a branch and drew a non-existent starting line for them. He raised one arm and said, "Ready—"
As his arm dropped, he said, “Run!”
The man and the dog rushed out of the starting line at the same time, followed by Liu Wangxue's happy laughter.
When the two men and three pets reunited, Xu Qingsong was already sweating profusely.
Pengpeng shook his fur, stuck out his tongue and breathed out, with a clear expression of happiness on his face.
Gugu fell on its head after it shook its fur.
Liu Wangxue raised her sleeves to wipe Xu Qingsong's sweat: "Are you tired?"
Xu Qingsong panted slightly: "It's impossible to get tired with this amount of exercise."
Liu Wangxue smiled: "Showing off?"
Xu Qingsong turned his face to make it easier for her to wipe the other side: "I understand, you haven't experienced it yet, so you won't believe me."
Liu Wangxue retorted: "Who said I haven't experienced it? When I was in high school, I participated in the school sports meet and ran 1,500 meters. I came in third place."
Xu Qingsong asked her: "What about the 'third place' when there are only three contestants?"
Liu Wangxue helped him wipe it, and when her arm fell, she poked his shoulder with her fingers: "I see it all but don't say it, do you understand?"
Xu Qingsong grabbed her hand, brought it to him, bent down and kissed her on the lips, and changed the subject: "Okay, after you experience my endurance and stamina yourself, you will believe it."
Liu Wangxue understood immediately, pulled back her hand and patted him on the chest: "It's broad daylight outside, behave yourself."
Xu Qingsong took Xiaoci off her shoulders and held her in his arms, walking back with her side by side: "There's no one here, what are you afraid of."
Liu Wangxue reached out and flicked Xiaoci's ear: "Mr. Xu, I find that you are..."
She stopped talking halfway, Xu Qingsong turned to look at her, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with me? Am I not good?"
"You've changed." Liu Wangxue said, "You weren't like this before."
Xu Qingsong stroked Xiaoci's round head and continued to laugh: "What has changed? What was I like before?"
Liu Wangxue raised her hand to wipe away a drop of sweat from his temple and said, "You used to be so elegant and gentlemanly, but now I feel like I can't even flirt with you anymore."
Xu Qingsong chuckled twice and asked, "What about now?"
Liu Wangxue counted them one by one on her fingers, and added another one after she finished counting: "Especially the last one, it makes dirty jokes all the time, wow, it really opened my eyes."
"To be honest, this is really eye-opening for me." Xu Qingsong looked at her sincerely, "Really, I'm not lying to you, I wasn't like this before, it's only after I've been with you that I've suddenly changed."
Liu Wangxue gave him a look: "Do you think I would believe it?"
"It's over," Xu Qingsong lamented, "My reputation has been ruined by my own hands."
Liu Wangxue patted his back: "It's good that you know."
Xu Qingsong looked down at her, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Tell me the truth, do you like it?"
Liu Wangxue coughed, her expression a little shy, but she still answered sincerely: "I like it."
Then he added: "Exciting."
Xu Qingsong laughed out loud.
Liu Wangxue reached out and pinched his waist, but his clothes were a bit thick and she didn't pinch the flesh at all.
The two returned to the courtyard and breakfast was just right.
The two of them fed the three before going to the kitchen.
Pumpkin and millet porridge cooked in a casserole, no sugar is added to the porridge, all the sweetness of the pumpkin itself. Stir it with a spoon, it is golden and fragrant, with rich rice fat, and a spoonful of thick porridge will still leave sweetness in your mouth.
There were two plates of stir-fried dishes on the table, green vegetables and tofu and shredded pork with green peppers, as well as a plate of fried dumplings, a plate of poached eggs and scallion pancakes.
Liu Wangxue held the spoon, blew on it while drinking, and soon finished half a bowl: "It's delicious! When I'm out, this is what I want most for breakfast. No matter how good the porridge sold outside is, it doesn't taste like this at home."
She specifically emphasized to Liu Nanshan: "Dad's taste."
Liu Nanshan was delighted when he heard this. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were filled with happiness. He picked up a piece of scallion pancake and put it on the plate in front of her: "Eat this while it's hot, it's crispy."
He also picked up a piece for Xu Qingsong: "Your work is too demanding, eat more."
"Thank you, uncle."
Gu Xuelan also picked up a poached egg for each of them, pushed the fried dumplings in front of them, and said to Xu Qingsong: "Your uncle makes a lot of scallion pancakes. When you go to work later, bring some for Yunkai and Richard. Your uncle said Richard must have never eaten it, let him try it."
"Okay." Xu Qingsong agreed.
He then said to Liu Nanshan, "Uncle, when the house is renovated, you can go to the canteen to train the two chefs when you are free."
Liu Nanshan smiled and waved his hands. "No, no, your chefs are all professionals. I would be showing off my skills in front of an expert."
Liu Wangxue asked Xu Qingsong: "Did Boss Du specially invite the chef?"
Xu Qingsong nodded: "One of them is Western food and the other is Chinese food. The Chinese chef is good at cooking, but not so good at making noodles. Most of the employees in the group are from the north, and there are a few from the northwest. They only think about steamed buns and noodles all day long."
He joked, "If you don't eat well and get upset, and don't work hard, it's really annoying."
Liu Wangxue finished the poached egg and put the remaining half of the scallion pancake on the chopsticks. She smiled and said to Liu Nanshan, "That's just right, Dad. Didn't you want to apply for the job of chef before?"
