Chapter 51
The takeaway arrived, and Ming Xu took it out and arranged it neatly. In addition to barbecue, there were also various braised dishes. He brought ice cubes and juice from his room. After discussing with Yan Qing, he also bought a few bottles of fruit wine recommended by Zhou Mingshu that even novices could drink.
Ming Xu: "These are all the midnight snacks we have. Do you want some staple food? I'll go make you some noodles."
Cooking noodles? Drinking and eating noodles is totally out of place with this atmosphere.
The two of them sat around the table, and Yan Qing used the remote to find a movie to watch: "What kind of movies do you like?"
Nowadays, televisions are all smart, and many people no longer watch TV. When she went home for the New Year and wanted to turn on the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, she tried for a long time but couldn't find a live broadcast channel.
"Can't find it?"
"You eat first, I'm looking for something." Mingxu observed while tearing the package. "Just pick the one you like."
As he was speaking, he saw the screen freeze.
Yan Qing: "It was released half a year ago. It's based on a true case and tells the story of drug control on my country's southwestern border in the late 1990s."
"Do you like watching this kind of thing?"
Yan Qing asked back, "Do you think I would like love stories? After reading them, it's easy to inadvertently put other people's stories into your own pocket."
The movie started. Yan Qing took the disposable gloves handed to him by Ming Xu and stared at the screen with relish.
The movie was shocking from the beginning and captured Yan Qing's appetite.
Suddenly, a piece of lotus root was handed to her mouth. She glanced at the owner of the hand, reached out to take it, and just after taking a bite, her eyes widened and she looked at Mingxu. Mingxu understood and quickly took the juice.
“This is spicy.”
The lotus root slices look ordinary, but they are surprisingly spicy.
Ming Xu was also puzzled: "I bought all the sauce-flavored ones, and the kelp knot I just ate wasn't spicy either." As he said that, he was about to go through the garbage bag, but Yan Qing stopped him, "I bought some milk, it's in the refrigerator."
After drinking a few sips of ice milk, Yan Qing felt that his tongue was loosened.
"Don't eat this." Ming Xu looked at the dense beads of sweat on her head and put the lotus root slices on the corner of the table.
Yan Qing stretched out his hand to stop him: "It's okay, it feels good to eat it occasionally. I don't have any stomach problems, don't worry."
Seeing Ming Xu's expression of "I don't believe it", Yan Qing chuckled: "Have you read too many novels?"
After being exposed, Ming Xu put down the box guiltily, his eyes fixed on the movie that was still playing, but his peripheral vision fell on the shoulder of the person next to him.
It was all Yang Mingzhou's fault. After knowing that Yan Qing had been abroad for a long time, he kept nagging him, asking him to ask if most people who lived abroad for a long time would have stomach problems.
Ming Xu felt that he was sick at the time, but the seed had also been planted in his heart. Today, it sprouted, but before it had time to grow, he realized that it was a weed.
Yan Qing looked at him and wanted to put the matter behind her, but she kept thinking about it in her heart and mind.
Ming Xu said sternly, "Let's go watch a movie."
Being discovered, she stole a glance and saw the people around her staring straight ahead with their upper bodies tensed and motionless. Suddenly, she saw the unopened wine on the table and felt a little eager to try it: "Want a drink?"
"Can you drink?"
Yan Qing puffed out her chest. Who was she looking down upon? She was from Yuancheng.
Looking at the empty bottle on the table, Yan Qing raised an eyebrow: "How is it?"
The only sound in the room was the voices of the people on TV.
She looked over and saw that the person who had just questioned whether she could drink was now asleep, breathing lightly and regularly.
"Ming Xu, pour one glass." Yan Qing looked at An Jing's face and an idea came to his mind. Just as he was about to put it into practice, he saw the gloves on his hands.
After washing her hands, she stood beside the sofa and stared down at the man.
The movie on TV was still playing. Yan Qing took a deep breath and started working.
"You don't look fat, why are you so heavy?"
He wanted to find her a more comfortable position, but she was already tired before she moved at all. She fell down on the sofa and murmured, "I could move you to the bed in the past, but not today. These three bottles of wine have reduced my combat effectiveness by at least 90%. You just have to make do with it." After that, he picked up the blanket next to him, gently covered Mingxu's belly, and turned up the air conditioner a little.
After doing all this, the person on the sofa remained in the same position. Yan Qing wanted to pat his face, but felt it was inappropriate, so he just patted his arm that was hanging out: "You go to sleep first. This thing is quite delicious. Remember to buy the non-spicy one next time."
The movie lasted two and a half hours. After watching the ending, Yan Qing drank the last half glass of wine and stood up.
The person behind her was still sleeping quietly. She stretched and began to clean up the mess on the table.
The next day, the sunlight crept up through the gap in the curtains and onto the face of the person who was still sleeping.
Before Ming Xu opened his eyes, he felt a pain in his body. He turned over and fell to the ground.
His eyes, forced open, looked blurryly at his current position, and he stood up by supporting himself on the sofa with his arms.
I have no idea why I am sleeping here. I was watching movies, eating braised food and barbecue, and drinking last night.
drink wine!
He patted his head, feeling a little annoyed. How could a little fruit wine make him pass out? He even questioned Yan Qing's alcohol tolerance in the evening, but he didn't expect that he was the one who got drunk after just one glass. It was so embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Ming Xu glanced at the closed door of the room inside. He looked around and saw that someone was still cleaning up the garbage so late. His eyes finally fixed on the black plastic bag at the door.
I closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I woke up early and the aunt hadn't started cleaning yet, so there was no one in the corridor.
Not long after he left, Yan Qing also woke up.
Sitting on the bed, she had no intention of going out right now. She looked at her cell phone, but there was not a single message and no sound outside.
Are you still awake? Were those three bottles of wine yesterday so powerful?
Forget it, let’s go out and take a look.
The living room was empty and the trash at the door had been taken away.
"You left without even telling me." Yan Qing was a little unhappy. She looked at the neatly tidied sofa and sat down. Suddenly, something seemed to hit her on the sofa.
Looking at the black phone in front of him, Yan Qing said with some disdain: "So the reason you didn't send me a message is that you left your phone behind. I wonder when you'll find it."
After Ming Xu came out of Yan Qing's room, he immediately went back to take a shower. There was nothing to do during the day. The wedding would not start until six o'clock in the evening. [Pink Lightning] had already reminded him yesterday to go there early in the afternoon.
Thinking of this, Ming Xu planned to ask Yan Qing about today's plans. Yesterday, he heard her say that Zhou Mingshu had a flight in the morning, so maybe he should act as the driver to pick him up at the airport.
He was just about to take off his clothes and turn them upside down.
Mingxu couldn't find his phone, so he sat on the sofa and thought about it. He still had his phone when he watched the movie last night.
Thinking of this, he was stunned: "Will it fall into the crack of the sofa?"
On this side, Yan Qing finished packing and prepared to go to the airport to pick up Zhou Mingshu. She landed at 12:20 and it was almost 11 o'clock now.
Boom boom boom.
When Ming Xu opened the door, he saw Yan Qing with a serious face. He thought she was there to deliver a cell phone.
But I heard: "Are you free now?"
Without waiting for his answer, Yan Qing continued, "Mingshu will be here soon. Please accompany me to pick her up."
"good."
After saying that, Ming Xu turned around to get the car keys. Yan Qing stood at the door but didn't go in. He teased, "Don't forget to bring your phone."
Mingxu took the key, stood still, and said with a smile: "The phone is not with you."
Before boarding the plane, Zhou Mingshu had already told Yan Qing to bring a cup of Nancheng's specialty milk tea to pick her up at the airport.
The second cup is half price. Yan Qing thought of what happened yesterday and increased the quantity to 4 in the ordering app.
Seeing her carrying four cups of milk tea, Ming Xu was shocked: "She wants to drink so much?"
"The second cup is half price." Seeing Ming Xu nodding in confusion, Yan Qing explained, "He uses fresh milk, so we can fill our stomachs."
She hadn't had time to eat breakfast in the morning, and just as she took her milk tea, she already felt like she was protesting alone.
Yan Qing sat in the passenger seat and began to savor his breakfast.
Among the people Yan Qing knows, Zhou Mingshu is second to none when it comes to food.
"This milk tea is really good." Whenever she recommended something, Yan Qing would always
If she encountered something that didn’t suit her taste, she would say, “Try it.”
As he said that, he opened another cup and handed it to Mingxu's mouth.
The forty-minute journey was quick, and there was still time when they arrived at the airport. However, Yan Qing didn't plan to sit in the car and wait. She packed the milk tea, gave the empty cup to Ming Xu, and took out the ordered flowers from the back seat.
"Leave."
There were seats in the pick-up hall at Nancheng Airport, but the ones near the exit were already full. After looking at the flight information on the big screen, the two of them sat a little further away.
"There's a convenience store over there. I'll go buy some food and you can eat some." Ming Xu was about to buy something in his hand, but was stopped.
Yan Qing no longer felt hungry after drinking a cup of milk tea. Zhou Mingshu was sure to go to lunch first: "I don't want to eat anymore. Let's go to lunch directly. You don't have to buy it for me."
After saying that, Mingxu sat down.
"Aren't you going to buy it?"
"I'm waiting for lunch too."
As soon as Zhou Mingshu landed, he couldn't wait to call Yan Qing: "I'm here, I'm here, and I brought you some local specialties. Wait and enjoy the delicious food."
Yan Qing always felt that his phone would leak sound, otherwise why would Ming Xu look at him with such a strange look.
After hanging up the phone, she was a little embarrassed: "Let's go over there, she's coming out soon."
Many people landed at noon, and the hall was bustling with people. The two of them couldn't squeeze to the front, so Yan Qing pulled Ming Xu to stand not far from the exit next to them, so that they could see Zhou Mingshu at a glance when he came out.
"Xixi!"
As soon as Zhou Mingshu came out, he saw Yan Qing. She was holding the milk tea she ordered and a colorful bouquet of flowers. When she was about to run over, she saw Ming Xu standing next to her.
She stopped immediately, became stiff and frightened, and said, "Brother Coal Ball."
Yan Qing glanced at Ming Xu beside him, suppressed a smile, and handed the milk tea over: "Try it, is it what you want?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhou Mingshu didn't say a word now. She was afraid that the person who bought the milk tea was the black-faced man next to her friend. When she thought of this, she looked at the milk tea in her hand and suddenly didn't want to drink it.
When they got in the car, Yan Qing was about to go to the back seat. Ming Xu stared at her, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
She saw it, but still went to the back row without hesitation.
I got in the car and was about to turn on the navigation when I received a message.
[Yan Qing]: /Kitty, please don’t be unhappy.
Ming Xu looked at the rearview mirror, and their eyes met.
Yan Qing smiled slightly, and Ming Xu's expression relaxed.
On the way back, Zhou Mingshu was no longer as nervous as before. He drank milk tea in the back seat and talked about what he had done recently.
"That scumbag has been severely punished now. I see he hasn't played the game in several days."
Seeing that Zhou Mingshu was no longer in a gloomy mood, Yan Qing was very relieved: "The new life is beautiful."
Zhou Mingshu chewed his pearls, looking pleased with himself as if he had just enjoyed a delicious meal. "Yeah, but this guy really tricked my parents. To this day, they're still trying to persuade me not to be impulsive. I'm being kind by not hitting him."
Ming Xu: "If you need anything, just ask."
Hearing this, Zhou Mingshu seemed frightened. He looked at Yan Qing and asked in lip language, "How are you two doing now?"
Yan Qing ignored her.
"Speak!" Zhou Mingshu suddenly spoke loudly, scaring Yan Qing so much that she covered her mouth and signaled her with her eyes to stop talking. Looking at Yan Qing's nervous expression, Zhou Mingshu had several bad thoughts in his mind.
She smiled slyly, her eyes flickering between the two of them.
