"Yes, I should be able to come back by the end of next month."
Qiu Yi glanced at him, then naturally looked away and continued to fry the eggs and ham in the pan. Anyway, when he asked her questions, she would answer them frankly, but she would not take the initiative to ask about his recent situation or private affairs.
This is not deliberate.
But after breaking up, I've gotten used to it over the years.
Such greetings between the two were commonplace, as if they were just a formality and had no significance.
Finally, he added, "Mengmeng, I'll message you once the date is confirmed."
Meng Sheng smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll pick you up at the airport then."
She also had no intention of getting involved in their emotional entanglement. Only the parties involved knew the most about everything. Neither of them was overly passive, and they would have reconciled long ago if they could.
But she could see that her brother must have some ulterior motives, but as to why he had never exposed it, she had no idea.
As they chatted, she brought up Fang Zhiman's wedding two days ago. Meng Shixu's expression remained unchanged and he even joined in a few words naturally.
Meng Sheng recalled, "Sister Zhiman said that one of their honeymoon destinations is Denmark. She said she'll contact you once we get there so we can have dinner together."
She knew that Meng Shixu had no special feelings for Fang Zhiman, so she said it without any hesitation.
You can't try to hide it, it would seem like you're trying to cover up something.
Meng Shixu nodded, "Okay, I haven't seen them for many years."
He is also familiar with Kong Junyang.
The video call lasted for an hour and a half. First, Qiu Yi ended the call because he wanted to go to the Art Association, and then Meng Shixu had his own things to do.
Afterwards, Meng Sheng chatted with Meng Chengli for more than ten minutes before the conversation finally ended.
At around five forty, Pei Sui called and said that it would take ten minutes to reach the art museum.
As evening approached, the sun shone obliquely, and the entire road was coated with an amber halo. A light breeze, carrying a thin layer of warmth, blew through the branches, making a slight rustling sound.
Meng Sheng estimated the time and went downstairs with her bag. The timing was just right. As soon as she reached the roadside, Pei Sui's familiar Cullinan drove over from a distance and stopped in front of her.
The car window rolled down, and a delicate floral scent wafted in the wind. She gave him a bright and warm smile, "Should we say we have a tacit understanding? Or do we have a tacit understanding?"
Pei Sui also smiled, although the smile was shallow, the warmth in his eyes was very strong.
"Well, we have good chemistry," he said. "Put your bag in the back."
"good."
Meng Sheng opened the back door without any expectation or warning, and the entire car seat filled with colorful flowers and the elegant floral fragrance came into her eyes and nose.
She was stunned, shock and astonishment flashing in her eyes.
A shallow beam of light poured in through the car window, landing on this silent celebration of hydrangeas and peonies.
The former are round and plump, the latter are graceful, and they snuggle together in the June sunshine, as if telling their owners' strong and surging love, and exuding this romantic and everlasting summer.
While she was stunned, Pei Sui had walked to her side without her knowing when, and his hands naturally wrapped around her slender waist.
The clear voice neutralized the slightly dry atmosphere at the moment and slowly drifted into her ears.
"Do you like it?"
Meng Sheng's thoughts were forcibly pulled back by his voice, and the shock and astonishment in his eyes cleverly turned into a light of surprise and joy, which seemed to be even brighter than the sun in the blue sky and white clouds.
She smiled and threw herself into his arms, her smile charming and gentle, "I like it, I like it very much."
Pei Sui looked at her eyes and eyebrows, as if he saw the youthful and bright face on her ID card.
Loving someone is like growing flowers.
The flower language of peony: love has an end, and it is hard to let go.
The flower language of hydrangea: hope and happiness.
This is the sequence of his feelings for her, the beginning of the end of the love, the process of being reluctant to let go, and the hope that they will have a happy ending.
He hugged her, looked at her lovingly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to kiss you."
"No, not here. Just bear with it. The art museum is closing time. You want to give them a live broadcast? I'm shy, so I can't do that. Besides, there are surveillance cameras here. It's so embarrassing. Hurry and get in the car. There will be rush hour traffic soon."
She put her hands on his chest embarrassedly, looked around, and immediately withdrew from his arms.
Then he reached out to touch the flowers, his brows curved again, and he closed the door happily and briskly. Without looking at Pei Sui's helpless and regretful expression, he opened the passenger door and got in.
Pei Sui turned his head to glance at the camera not far away, slowly retracted his gaze, stretched out his long legs and sat in the driver's seat.
But he didn't rush to drive, but wanted to do what he wanted to do first.
He grabbed her hand that was about to buckle her seatbelt, pulled her forward, and leaned forward to press his lips against hers.
Meng Sheng's pupils trembled, and she was still a little confused. Before she could react, the kiss was over. She just raised her clear eyes and opened her mouth to say something, but Pei Sui reached out and grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her again.
It was much more intense than the light kiss just now.
It seemed as if he wanted to tear her apart and swallow her whole.
A few minutes later, the two people's slightly heavy breathing sounds intertwined and lingered in this huge carriage.
Pei Sui let her go, lowered his eyes to look at her tender pink lips, rolled his Adam's apple, and said meaningfully, "A wide car has its advantages. Do you like it?"
Meng Sheng's mind was still a little confused, and he stared at her in a daze. It took him a while to react. Looking at his serious look, she pinched his waist in annoyance.
"You need to clean up the memory in your head. Go back and download some antivirus software. Run it several times. I'm afraid it won't be completely eliminated in one go."
There is too much waste.
I didn’t expect him to be such a Lawyer Pei, his character has collapsed!
Pei Sui chuckled, took her hand and squeezed it, then kissed the back of her hand. He glanced at the time before sitting back down, starting the car, and cheerfully asked, "What would you like to eat tonight?"
Meng Sheng buckled his seat belt again and leaned back in his chair. "I want to eat everything you cook."
Pei Sui responded readily, "Okay, let's go to the supermarket first."
Six o'clock was the beginning of the evening rush hour, but fortunately the road he was driving on was not a main road, so he was stuck at an intersection for about five minutes before the traffic was clear.
Today they went to a large supermarket because they had a lot of food to buy and he also wanted to change into a few sets of couple pajamas for summer.
After parking the car, the two walked into the supermarket hand in hand, and Pei Sui pulled a shopping cart.
The first floor was for fresh snacks, daily necessities, and the two started browsing from the fifth floor where they could find bedding.
Meng Sheng had the habit and hobby of buying household items. Since moving back to Zuo'an Courtyard, she has purchased all the household items herself.
Once upon a time, under the moon...
Forget it, the past is gone, there is no need to mention it or think about it anymore.
She chose two sets of four-piece bedding sets, and then four sets of summer pajamas, two sets each for her and Pei Sui, all simple couple styles.
I walked all the way down and when I reached the second floor, my shopping cart was already full with daily necessities.
When he got to the fresh food section on the first floor, the entire shopping cart was occupied. Pei Sui selected ingredients for about a week, and also bought some seasonings, rice oil, and drinks.
As for snacks, neither of them liked snacks, so when they arrived at the baking area, Meng Sheng chose a strawberry cake and pushed three shopping carts to pay.
After paying the bill, staff will help them push the shopping cart to the parking lot.
Now that her hands were free, Meng Sheng let Pei Sui go first, while she went to the window next to her to queue up for ice cream.
Pei Sui calculated the time of her period and did not stop her. He took the staff to the parking lot first.
Meng Sheng went over with the ice cream. Pei Sui had already loaded two shopping carts with things. When she was about to help, he stopped her.
"Don't do it."
Meng Sheng didn't bother to be polite with him and just stood beside him. After he finished tidying himself up, she smiled and thanked the staff. After they walked away, she scooped a spoonful of ice cream with a spoon and put it to his mouth.
"Try it."
Pei Sui raised his eyebrows, leaned forward to take a sip, and nodded, "Matcha flavor? Not bad."
"Yeah, I think so too."
Meng Sheng smiled and fed him another bite before the two of them got into the car.
This supermarket is not far from the Left Bank Courtyard, but there was a traffic jam on the road and it took twenty minutes to get there.
After getting out of the car, she opened the trunk and back door, looked at the things inside, and asked with her head tilted, "How are you going to get so much in there?"
If they were to move everything by themselves, it would take at least five or six trips to finish.
It’s fun to buy things, but when it comes time to move them upstairs, I feel like crying.
Especially since there are more than a dozen pots of hydrangeas and peonies in the back seat, and they cannot be stacked together, so it will take some time to move them up.
"We have two folding camping carts at home. They're perfect for pulling things down here. I'll go up and get them."
"Okay, then I'll cook the meal first?"
"good."
The two of them first carried eight pots of flowers up, and then divided the work.
Meng Sheng cooked the meal in the kitchen, cleaned the cat litter box, and poured cat food for Sisi. Then Pei Sui came up with two carts of supplies.
They were busy until almost nine o'clock before they finally had their meal.
After tasting the familiar taste that she had been craving for, Meng Sheng ate an extra bowl of rice.
After clearing the dishes, Pei Sui simply prepared the ingredients he would need for tomorrow morning.
Meng Sheng was fiddling with the more than ten pots of hydrangeas and peonies. The low table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window definitely couldn't hold all the pots, so she ordered three double-layer low tables online and moved them to the hall next to the living room and rearranged them.
It is very pleasing to the eyes. In an instant, the fragrance of several flowers blends together, forming a mist. The fragrance is neither strong nor turbid, as if the entire hall is painted with a layer of sweet glaze.
Meng Sheng squatted beside the flowers and took a lot of photos. When Pei Sui came over to look, he sighed, "If there was a yard, it would definitely look better."
Pei Sui looked at the beautiful face that glowed white under the incandescent light.
His eyes paused slightly, and he remembered that when he was at the Jingdong Hotel, he said that he liked the high floors so that he could see the night view.
Now it has become a yard again.
He smiled helplessly. It seemed that he had to buy two houses for his wedding.
Meng Sheng just said this casually and didn't take it to heart. She didn't even know that Pei Sui was already planning a new house. She selected three photos and posted them on her Moments without any major editing, just changing the filter.
Copywriting: Horses run in spring, flowers bloom in summer.
When Pei Sui saw this circle of friends, he also felt that the copy was quite appropriate.
He simply copied the three pictures and text, posted them on his Moments, and left it at that. Listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, he threw his phone away and went straight to the bathroom.
Meng Sheng protested and refused, but since she was already in there, it wasn't easy to kick her out. Fortunately, he just took a shower and applied medicine to her.
When applying the medicine, he used the same trick again, which made Meng Sheng so angry that he practiced a set of combination punches.
After they were done, she waved her sleeves, leaving him alone in the bathroom without a trace of cloud.
It took another twenty minutes for him to come out. Meng Sheng laughed at him and said it was all his own fault.
Pei Sui endured it and did nothing in the end. He just held her in his arms and slept.
The next morning, after they had breakfast, Pei Sui went upstairs to look for Sisi's ID and vaccination booklet. Meng Sheng stuffed it into the cat bag and went out.
She asked the housekeeper to come and clean the house this morning. Although the house was not messy, it still needed to be cleaned and disinfected because Sisi was there.
At half past nine, the two arrived at the pet hospital.
Here, Meng Sheng not only saw many breeds of cats and dogs, but especially an Afghan dog, whose fur was very smooth and beautiful, and whose body was elegant, and should be of show-level quality.
But the only impression it left on her was - wow, what a big mop.
Mopping the floor is definitely easier.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing and silently apologized to this "elegant lady" in her heart.
It's really a sin.
"What's wrong?" Pei Sui asked as he saw her smiling face.
"No, let's go."
Meng Sheng shook his head, took his arm, got into the elevator, and went to the fourth floor.
There are many pets queuing up for examination in this building. Sisi is not afraid of strangers and has become impatient in the cat bag, meowing inside.
Pei Sui took it out of the cat bag. As soon as it landed, a Samoyed and a Golden Retriever surrounded it and sniffed it. Sisi was not afraid and raised his hand to gently pat their legs and noses.
Meng Sheng couldn't help but take a picture of this scene.
She brought it to him and asked, "How about this composition?"
In the photo, he, Sisi, a plump, white and shiny Samoyed and a golden retriever are all in the picture.
"This would look better if I drew it. Speaking of which, I haven't drawn many animals yet. I'll draw this photo when I have some free time. What do you think?"
Pei Sui stared at the photo on his phone, nodded slowly, and offered a suggestion, "Well, but... I'd prefer you to be in it too."
When she finishes the painting, he will find a frame and hang it in their new house.
Meng Sheng chuckled, "I'll just draw a new one when the time comes."
"good."
Sisi's examination and vaccination were quick, and including waiting in line, it only took an hour. They also took Sisi to the pet shop next door and bought some small items and snacks before preparing to go home.
Meng Sheng had just carried Sisi into the car when the phone in her bag suddenly rang.
She paused, put Sisi down, and let it spin around in the car.
I took out my phone, unlocked the screen, and saw that it was still a text message from that mysterious number.
