Chapter 16 I'm here to call you for dinner
As Mrs. Sheng, she should remain dignified both inside and outside, and it would be better if she didn't climb the tree in front of him.
Hatsushimo looked at his khaki gown. In the dim light now, he should be able to blend in with the persimmon tree.
As she thought Sheng Ting would not look up, she looked at him boldly. The fabric of the man's suit pants was excellent, and the lines of his long legs were faintly visible. The navy blue suit vest deepened his inviolable coolness. Such body proportions were simply a walking composition model for Chu Shuang, who studied aesthetics.
As they got closer, the man stopped a few meters away from the tree.
Hatsushimo held her breath, still hoping that he just stopped by chance.
But she ignored the fruit basket and the little golden retriever under the tree.
The little golden retriever wagged its tail and jumped to Sheng Ting's feet. The man lowered his eyes to glance at it.
Chu Shuang's heart skipped a beat, and the next second her eyes suddenly met the man's.
Sheng Ting was calm as he looked at the slender figure among the branches. She was only wearing socks on her feet, with her long hair tied up casually. However, her hair looked a little messy because of her movements on the tree. The loose hair floated in the air with the breeze, adding a soft sense of willfulness and casualness in the twilight.
Chu Shuang showed her famous smile again, her eyebrows slightly curved, "Are you off work?"
"Well, I'm here to call you for dinner."
It turned out that he came for her, and she was trying to pretend not to care just now.
"Okay, I'll pick some persimmons. Could you please pass me the basket?"
Sheng Ting saw the basket under the tree, handed it over, and raised his thin lips slightly: "Do you need my help?"
"No, I'll pick it soon."
After picking up half of the basket, Sheng Ting took it and reached out to help her up again, but Chu Shuang declined: "It's okay, I can get down."
I saw her holding onto the thick tree trunk, and with her agility, she slid down the tree effortlessly.
After putting on his shoes, Hatsushimo stood up and said, "Let's go."
Glancing at her clear eyes, Sheng Ting was walking in front with a basket.
Hatsushimo, who was following behind, secretly sighed. She took great care to maintain her image, but he caught her climbing a tree in such an unkempt state.
In the backyard full of flowers and plants, two people were walking one in front and the other behind, with a golden retriever following beside them. Chushuang saw the shadows of the two people on the ground elongated by the setting sun, and inexplicably felt that this scene was very warm in her heart.
"Can we eat all these persimmons?" the man asked slowly.
Hatsushimo took a few steps forward and walked with him. "I picked them to make persimmon cakes."
"You can do it?"
"Well, I make it every year at home. I can't eat persimmons, but I like to eat them after they are dried into persimmon cakes." Hatsushimo looked up and saw his superior jawline. "Have you ever eaten persimmon cakes?"
Sheng Ting glanced sideways, "Of course I have eaten it."
Chu Shuang pursed her lips and realized that she had asked a stupid question. Persimmon cakes are not some rare mountain delicacy. Who hasn't eaten them?
After walking a few steps quietly, the man beside her said slowly, "But I haven't eaten persimmon cakes for many years."
Hearing this, Chu Shuang paused slightly and said, "Then I will make more this year and we can eat together."
"Um."
Passing by a small open space, Chu Shuang remembered to ask Sheng Ting whether he wanted to plant other things on those lands in the future.
"No, those are all grass."
"Can you give it to me? I want to grow something." Chu Shuang said softly: "I don't need much."
Sheng Ting glanced at her and said, "I'll find someone to turn the soil for you."
"Thank you!"
The little golden retriever was running in front, and Chu Shuang slightly quickened her pace to play with it. Sheng Ting saw her soft curve of profile and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
The two-month-old golden retriever is chubby, well-behaved and active. Chu Shuang thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a good name. Finally, she got an inspiration when she was feeding the golden retriever with small bones one day.
The dog has a round nose and round eyes, and looks like a hamster when eating, so Chushuang named it after this.
One day, Sheng Ting heard it and didn't quite understand, "It's called a hamster?"
"Well, I named it the day before yesterday. Isn't it cute?"
The man looked at the golden retriever lying in the living room chewing a small bone with a silly look on his face.
"Why name a dog Hamster?"
"I think the image fits," Hatsushimo asked, "Does it sound bad?"
The man was silent for a moment.
“Nice.”
Li Bingbing had originally made an appointment with Chushuang to go to Disneyland together on the weekend, but Chushuang's department had a temporary team building event, so she had to let her pigeons go.
This really hurt Miss Li, and she sent a message to accuse her: [You are a lady from a famous family, haven't you received enough education on integrity since childhood? Does Master Shen know that you are such a dishonest person? You abandoned your childhood friend for a temporary company team building, Chu Shuangshuang, you hurt my heart so much! Don't ask me out to play next time. ]
[Thank goodness I put on my makeup early and waited for you. Cosmetics: I should have bought them from a rotten factory. ]
At that time, Chu Shuang was already on the way to team building. When she saw the messages she sent, she couldn't help laughing.
Hatsumei: [Bingbing is so cute. 】
Li Bingbing: [Don't be affected by labor.jpg]
Passing by a commercial street, Chu Shuang saw from afar several large puppets moving outside a milk tea shop. He thought for three seconds, asked the driver to turn around and change the destination, and at the same time sent a sick leave application to the editor-in-chief.
When Li Bingbing received a call from Chu Shuang, she let the ringing last for a long time before picking up the phone just before it hung up.
"What's the point?"
"Bingbing, come out and play."
Li Bingbing snorted: "You can play with the people in your department, I won't go."
"It's just the two of us. I pretended to be sick and postponed the team building. Let's go to Disneyland together."
"If you can come to my place within ten minutes, I will reluctantly agree to do it."
Eight minutes later, Chu Shuang called her downstairs. Li Bingbing opened the window and looked down. She saw someone wearing a light-colored woolen coat and smiling sweetly.
Li Bingbing leaned against the window and folded her arms: "You came pretty quickly."
Chu Shuang waved her hand, "Bingbing, it's time to go to school."
Li Bingbing slowly curled her lips. This guy really knows how to coax people.
She could still vividly remember the time when they walked to and from school hand in hand when they were children. Since childhood, Chu Shuang had been more diligent than her and would call her downstairs every morning because she was lazy in bed.
There were many early mornings when Li Bingbing opened the window and could see people smiling downstairs. The first frost was standing next to the roses with the morning light on her face. Going to school, which the children hated, seemed very interesting to her.
That is Li Bingbing's most unique memory of childhood.
My love for Chushuang is a habit I developed since childhood. I remember when I was most attached to Chushuang, my mother said that if Ah Shuang was a boy, she would definitely fall in love early, and she thought so too.
"Is this what you're going to wear to Disneyland?"
Hatsushimo glanced at her clothes and asked, "What else?"
"Of course we have to wear pink. Come up, let's wear couple outfits...sister outfits."
The two of them visited all seven theme parks of Disney. Although they had a lot of fun, they were also exhausted after a day of fun. Later, Li Bingbing directly suggested not to go back. After all, they had come to Disney and had to stay in a theme hotel.
"Tell your man that you want to stay with me tonight."
Hatsushimo ate her ice cream and didn't take it seriously. She was still looking at the Donald Duck doll. "It's okay. He won't interfere with me."
