When Meng Sheng came in with a fruit plate, he saw Meng Chengli staring out the window in a daze, his phone screen was off.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Meng Chengli looked back at her. She also had a smile on her face at the moment, but it was not as romantic and free as in the video. It was as if her nature was restrained, and her smile was only gentle and peaceful.
This was the impression she left on him after she calmed down over the years.
I used to think my daughter had grown up and become sensible, but now... well, she has indeed grown up.
He smiled and shook his head, "It's okay."
"How about some grapes? Or maybe peel an apple?"
"Grapes, you can only eat a small piece of apple, and you don't like it, so it's a waste."
Meng Sheng smiled, sat on the edge of the bed, and helped him peel four grapes with a gentle look. After he finished eating, she got up and washed her hands.
Meng Chengli now eats everything in fixed quantities, especially things like fruits and snacks. He is afraid that eating too much will put too much burden on his stomach.
When she sat back down after washing her hands, she put her phone on the bedside table and started chatting with Meng Chengli without even looking at her phone.
The expert said that it is best to chat with your boyfriend for one or two hours every day, whether it is accumulated throughout the day or you can chat for that long when he is in high spirits.
In short, we must ensure that his brain is working every day and his nerves are in an active state.
After seven o'clock in the evening, all the neon lights in the city were lit up, and a layer of moist mist filled the air between the tall buildings.
Ding!
The smart lock opened, and Pei Sui took a step forward and walked in.
This was the first time he came back so early since he and Meng Sheng broke up twelve days ago.
As soon as the door was closed, Sisi ran over, meowing, and rubbed against his legs skillfully. After he changed his shoes, she stood up and climbed onto his legs to ask for a hug.
Maybe it was because he ate too much meat last night, or because his relationship with Meng Sheng had undergone another huge change, but he was in a particularly good mood today and felt a lot more cheerful.
There was no longer the decadent and powerless feeling of the past few days. It was as if the whole world had fallen into a gray area, and those colorful colors had completely disappeared with her departure.
The weather is no longer dry, the computer is no longer slow, and the food tastes better.
Even the moon tonight seems especially round.
He bent down and picked up Sisi, and walked all the way to the little guy's special dining place. The cabinets next to it were filled with its snacks, health supplements, daily necessities and other things.
He put the little guy down and fed it a piece of wool noodles first. Then he washed her two bowls, took out a few shrimps from the refrigerator to thaw, and started to prepare his own dinner.
I'm in a good mood today, otherwise it would be easier to just eat something outside.
Since he was eating alone, he didn't make the meal too complicated. He fried a steak, boiled some broccoli, and cooked three shrimps for Sisi, chopped them up and put them in his bowl.
One person and one cat, one sitting on a chair and the other sitting on the dining table, they were not eating quietly.
Because Sisi smacked his lips.
It's a cat with no quality and no manners.
Pei Sui glanced at it and then calmly looked away. He was already used to it.
At around 8:30, he took a shower, got ready, and went downstairs to wait for Meng Sheng. He didn't go into the house, but waited obediently in the corridor outside without even playing with his phone.
At 9:39, Meng Sheng walked out of the elevator and looked up to see a figure leaning against the wall at the door.
She paused slightly.
I thought to myself that he must have taken a shower and changed into a white T-shirt and casual black trousers. His hair covered his smooth forehead and eyebrows.
Compared with usual times, he has lost some of his usual business elegance and instead looks more lazy and comfortable.
More handsome and more alluring.
She walked up to him and could still smell the familiar scent of shampoo and shower gel.
She paused for breath, "How long have you been waiting here? Why don't you come in? I haven't changed the password."
Pei Sui glanced at her with a somewhat indifferent expression, but there was a hint of depth in his eyes, like an invisible vine that slowly rose but could calmly entwine around her, making it impossible for her to escape or hide.
Meng Sheng felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
In fact, during the hour of waiting, his heart was not as calm as it seemed. He was still a little worried that she would change her mind after meeting her father.
This feeling of worrying about gains and losses made him feel very uncomfortable and melancholy.
"No."
Pei Sui replied softly, reached out to take the bag from her hand, and held her hand with one hand.
Meng Sheng let him lead the way, entered his fingerprint, and pulled him into the living room, asking, "Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
"What are you eating?"
"There's a steak in the fridge, and it's almost due."
Pei Sui looked at their interlocked hands and walked a short distance before asking, "What do you want to eat tomorrow morning? If you want to eat at home, you have to go to the supermarket to buy the ingredients first. Or you can go out and then stop by the supermarket on your way back tomorrow night."
"Then let's go out to eat. If you have the time to go to the supermarket, you might as well sleep at home. It's so troublesome."
"good."
"...How is your dad?" he suddenly asked when he reached the living room.
Meng Sheng paused, remembering that when she was about to leave, she opened her phone screensaver and what caught her eye was the video of Pei Sui holding her while skiing.
She hadn't touched her phone since showing her father the wedding videos.
On the way back, she kept thinking, what would her father think when he saw the video?
She actually wanted to ask and confess to him, but Meng Chengli had already fallen asleep.
Perhaps the painful emotions had settled down, and now she didn't struggle or worry too much. Only a trace of guilt lingered in her heart, which could not be shaken off.
By the afternoon, she had decided to test the waters with her father about her desire to reconcile with Pei Sui, to see what his attitude was.
But they never found an opportunity. They kept talking about Fang Zhiman's wedding, their childhood, and her brother Meng Shixu's girlfriend and marriage.
They talked about everything except her.
She gathered her thoughts and replied truthfully, "I'm in pretty good shape, and my mentality is good. The experts say that as long as I keep doing this, I'll be fully recovered in less than six months, or at most. But I can't be careless. I just need to keep up with my nutrition and stay cheerful during this period."
Pei Sui lowered his eyelashes.
Get enough nutrition and be in a good mood.
He chewed these eight words several times in his mind.
He was afraid that Meng Chengli would no longer be happy after seeing him, and would become angry instead.
"Pour water on it."
Meng Sheng glanced at him and saw that there was nothing unusual on his face. He was also afraid that he would think too much, so he raised his hand and pointed at the pots of azaleas, trying to find something for him to do.
Then I took the bag of fruit from him and took it to the kitchen and put it in the refrigerator.
Pei Sui calmed down and decided to take this step no matter how difficult it was.
No matter how many scoldings or beatings he received, he was willing to endure it.
