Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Two Tooth Marks
A few days later, Qiao Zhuoyi asked in a low voice, "When will you be back?"
Tan Du bit his earlobe: "When do you want me to come back?"
"Hiss, stop biting. Let's talk business." Qiao Zhuo kicked him.
"If nothing unexpected happens, on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Uncle and auntie won't let me go before the third day of the Lunar New Year."
"No surprise," Qiao Zhuo replied. "It's the third day of the Lunar New Year. Yueyue and Lele are waiting for your lucky money."
"I'll wrap it first, and you can give it to me on New Year's Eve."
"Children know how to do their own things." Qiao Zhuoyi refused sternly.
"Just teasing you." Tan Du said with a smile.
The temperature in the next few days was really funny, rising continuously as if spring was coming, but on the 28th, he jumped off a cliff again.
Qiao Zhuo wrapped himself in the quilt and didn't want to get up. If there weren't guests today, he would have wanted to go on strike.
Seeing him like this, Tan Du laughed for a while while shaking his body, pulled him out, put clothes on him, and carried him directly into the bathroom.
Qiao Zhuo struggled to open his eyes and saw that he had even fixed his hair. He immediately woke up: "Hiss, you..."
Tan Du stood behind him and looked at him in the mirror: "What's wrong?"
It's too obvious a seduction.
Want to kiss.
Qiao Zhuo squeezed toothpaste on his teeth and brushed them, but his eyes were always glued to his face.
"I'll take you to the alley entrance later," Tan Du rested his chin on his shoulder, his throat vibrating like an electric toothbrush. "Come back and clean up, then I'll be leaving."
Qiao Zhuo paused, and suddenly felt his nose sore. He lowered his head to rinse his mouth, then quickly hooked up and kissed the person.
Not satisfied yet, since Boss Tan didn't have to go to work, he turned his head and bit him hard on the neck.
Tan Du moved closer to the mirror, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then put the other side close to it.
"What for?" Qiao Zhuo clicked his tongue.
"I remember that Boss Qiao likes symmetrical style." Tan Du said seriously.
The two tooth marks were particularly conspicuous on the white neck.
Qiao Zhuo stared at it all the way and thought, "The left one is still a little off."
Tan Du stopped the car and grabbed his forearm: "There will be another chance next year."
Qiao Zhuo frowned and said, "See you later, you'll be thirty-one."
"..." Tan Du patted his lower back and said meaningfully, "Age has changed, but physical strength remains the same."
"Get out of here." Qiao Zhuo sneered, unbuckled his seat belt, took a step with his long legs, and walked away without even looking back.
Tan Du looked at his back and took a picture with his phone.
It was lunchtime when Qiao Zhuoyi received the message, and Tan Du had just left. It also included a photo of him and the blanket.
ATZ: See you next year.
Qiao Zhuo flicked his forehead lightly with a finger and replied: [Be careful.]
ATZ: [Don't worry.]
Not Xiao Qiao: [Eat well.]
ATZ: [Don't worry.]
Not Xiao Qiao: Typing...
The other party called directly, and Qiao Zhuo suddenly pushed his chair away and stood up. Xiao Luo was startled by him: "Brother, you don't want to eat now?"
Qiao Zhuo waved his hand, took three or two steps downstairs and hid in Guiyi's small room.
"how?"
"I feel like you miss me." Tan Du said with a smile.
Qiao Zhuoyi said nothing and kept fiddling with the ear bone clip.
"Just five days." Tan Du said.
"I know," Qiao Zhuo breathed out. When did he become so pretentious? Hearing the sound of a car starting up from the opposite side, he said stiffly, "Hang up."
I spent six hours on the tattoo in the afternoon and didn't have time to think about it.
When I got back to the villa after work and opened the door, it was pitch black. There was no one to greet me, to pinch my neck or rub my hands. The feeling of loss was like the hair on a blanket, floating around the room.
Blanket circled around him twice before running out the door. Not seeing the other man, he whimpered at him.
Qiao Zhuoyi said angrily: "Stop watching, they don't want us anymore."
The lollipop in his mouth made a crunching sound, and his eyes fell on the chain next to him. If he had known earlier, he would have tied this thing to him.
Blanket: "Woof woof..."
"Okay, okay, okay. If you don't want it, just go back for the New Year." Qiao Zhuoyi squatted down and touched it a few times. Seeing the automatic feeder full of dog food, he felt jealous and grabbed its mouth and snorted, "You are treated better than me."
His stomach rumbled, and Blanket pawed at him, walked to the feeder, and turned to look at him.
"...Eat by yourself, you're welcome."
Today's afternoon tea was not very satisfying. Qiao Zhuoyi always felt that something was missing, and now his stomach was rumbling with hunger.
He had originally wanted to ask if Lao Fan's fried noodles were still open today, but just as he pulled out his phone, he received a message from Lao Fan: [6 pounds and 6 ounces! Mother and daughter are safe!]
There is another photo at the back. The little guy is fair and tender, and his eyes are not open.
Qiao Zhuo smiled and replied, "Congratulations! She's beautiful, like my sister-in-law. I'll come over to see her when it's convenient."
After the group message ended, Fan Quan cheerfully replied, "Go ahead and do your thing! We'll talk after the New Year!"
Qiao Zhuoyi: "Okay, I'll give my niece a big red envelope then."
Fan Quan: "It's a must! You, as an uncle, can't run away!"
Qiao Zhuoyi passed the photo to Tan Du, and the next second, he received a call.
"Aren't you driving? Why are you calling?"
"We're eating at the service area," Tan Du replied. "Is Gang Lao Fan's child?"
"Yes, when you come back, let's go and see it together."
"Well," Tan Du replied, "haven't you eaten yet?"
Qiao Zhuo snorted coldly: "Yeah, I think the blanket is quite rich, and he just invited me to eat with him."
Tan Du smiled and said, "Go check the refrigerator."
"Tsk, you..." Qiao Zhuo's eyes were sore. There were two lunch boxes neatly stacked in the refrigerator, containing both meat and vegetables, as well as peeled grapefruits. It was estimated that the person had been busy with this in the morning.
"Just make do with dinner for today and tomorrow," said Tan Du.
"Yeah." Qiao Zhuoyi didn't dare to speak.
"Crying?" Tan Du asked with a smile.
"Tsk," Qiao Zhuoyi's feeling of being touched faded away, "You're the one crying."
"I'm crying," Tan Du replied. "I don't even have a stove to sleep with tonight."
"How long will it take?" Qiao Zhuo frowned.
"About two hours."
"Hurry up after eating..." This didn't sound right, so Qiao Zhuoyi tried to rephrase it, "Hurry up after eating... Tsk."
Tan Du's deep laugh came through: "Got it."
The traffic was very congested those days, and Qiao Zhuo almost fell asleep while waiting. Tan Du had just arrived, and they chatted briefly before falling asleep.
On the night of the 29th, Qiao Zhuoyi made a video call to someone. After a few words, Su Qi suddenly appeared in the camera and looked at him closely as if he was seeing him for the first time.
Qiao Zhuo raised his eyelids and let him look at her.
"It's not like I haven't seen this before." Tan Du grabbed his neck and pulled him back.
"How can it be the same!" Su Qi rolled over backwards after being pulled by him, "You forget your friends for the sake of beauty! Boss Qiao is one of our family members now, so what's wrong with me looking at him a few more times?! Right, Boss Qiao——"
The camera shook, and after a bang, Tan Du's face reappeared. He smiled and said, "It's quiet now."
Qiao Zhuo raised an eyebrow: "You told him."
Tan Du nodded: "He insisted on sleeping in the same room with me."
Qiao Zhuo touched his earlobe and said, "Boss Tan is quite sensible."
Tan Du smiled and said, "Are you going to the store tomorrow?"
"No, I won't go. I'll go to Qiao Yuyi's after I've had enough sleep, otherwise the two little ones won't let me sleep in."
As soon as Qiao Zhuo relaxed, he slid down and crawled into the quilt, leaving only his head exposed.
Tan Du smiled and drew his palm twice in the air.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Zhuo asked.
"Sleep-coaxing service." Tan Duhui.
"Tsk, can you sleep by yourself?" Qiao Zhuo was thinking about this man's problem. His eyes turned blue after not seeing him for a day.
"Yes," Tan Du replied, "I slept late yesterday and got up early this morning, so I didn't get enough sleep."
"We've all rested, why are you getting up so early?" Qiao Zhuoyi yawned.
Tan Du also lay down, turned sideways as if sleeping next to him, and whispered, "Go to sleep."
The next day, Qiao Zhuoyi still couldn't escape the fate of getting up early. He was frightened by the sound of firecrackers outside and kept scratching the door with his blanket. When he couldn't scratch it open, he started howling, as if he would not stop until he woke up.
Qiao Zhuo sat up straight, scratched his hair in annoyance, opened the door, grabbed the dog's neck and shouted angrily: "Coward!"
"Woo woo..." Blanket arched his neck and acted coquettishly.
I don’t know who I learned this from.
Arriving too early actually startled Qiao Yuyi: "So early? The sun is rising from the west?"
"Uncle—" The two little ones rushed out and hugged his thighs, then turned around and scrambled to hold the blanket.
Qiao Zhuo returned to the car with several bags of things: fruit, snacks, nutritional supplements, and everything in between. Qiao Yuyi glanced through them and asked, "Is this what Boss Tan prepared?"
Qiao Zhuo waved his hand and went back to his room to catch up on his sleep. He was not woken up until lunch time.
After dinner, Qin Yun went into the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Qiao Yuyi would occasionally go in for a look, and he would be responsible for looking after the two children and the dog in the living room.
The Old Street group was very noisy at the moment. Qiao Zhuo would leave after a while of browsing. Tan Du hadn't had any news since he replied "good morning", and he clicked his tongue.
There was new message in Guan Chengmula’s group of four, and it was from two siblings wishing everyone a Happy New Year.
Qiao Zhuoyi replied: [How are Grandpa Guan and Grandma Xu? ]
Xiaoyu: [I keep worrying about the windows being left open at home. I keep nagging about it every day. My ears are getting calluses!]
Qiao Zhuoyi: [The windows on the second floor are closed to reassure them.]
After a while, a voice message came from the other side. It was Grandma Xu's voice: "An An, it's the south-facing window on the first floor. There are green onions growing on the windowsill. If they are not turned off in this weather, they will be frozen!"
Xiaoyu: [Brother, please send a voice message later saying you've seen it and confirmed it's closed, and comfort them.]
Qiao Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "Do you have a spare key? I'll go check it out."
Guan Chengmu: [Don't bother. If it's really frozen, I'll buy them a new one.]
Xiaoyuer: [thumb.jpg]
Guan Chengmu: [Stop talking nonsense, don't let me leak it! ]
"What are you doing?" Qiao Yuyi came out of the kitchen and saw him stand up. She shouted, "Are there nails in my sofa? You can't sit still even more than Yueyue and Lele."
Hearing this, the two New Year picture dolls pointed their chubby fingers at their uncle and laughed.
Yueyue: "Grow nails!"
Lele: "Uncle, hehe..."
"You two." Qiao Zhuo knocked each of them on the head lightly, without any deterrent effect.
Yueyue grabbed him and asked, "Uncle, where is Uncle Tan?"
"Do you want to see him?" Qiao Zhuo asked as he squatted down.
The two little ones shouted in unison: "I want to..."
Qiao Zhuo dialed the video call with peace of mind, but he didn't expect the other party to hang up and only sent a message after a while.
ATZ: [What's wrong? It's not convenient right now.]
Qiao Zhuo's face darkened and he pressed the voice button to let the two kids call for help.
ATZ: "Yueyue, Lele, Happy New Year."
Qiao Zhuo turned up the volume, and the two children heard and shouted, "Happy New Year, Uncle Tan!"
Qiao Yuyi interrupted, "Boss Tan can set off firecrackers too? That's great! Firecrackers really add to the festive atmosphere!"
Qiao Zhuo frowned slightly. He said no yesterday.
The phone vibrated again. It was Grandpa Guan and Uncle Qiang who were sending red envelopes to a group of people in the old street, and they specifically @ed him and Tan Du.
He clicked on it to receive it, and then sent back a few red envelopes.
Tan Du was confiscated, probably because he was really busy.
The people in the old street probably didn't expect Qiao Hedgehog to get involved, so no one rushed to grab it for a while.
Sister Sun took it first, and then others followed.
Uncle Qiang is always the fastest to follow. After grabbing the items, he even posted a video of himself setting off firecrackers, saying that he almost died.
Sister Sun scolded him: "Your shouting is louder than firecrackers, the whole street can hear it, and you are not ashamed!"
"Firecrackers! Uncle! Look!"
The two little ones grabbed Qiao Zhuoyi's hands and wanted to watch the video.
Qiao Zhuo transferred the video to Qiao Yuyi: "Show it to them. I'll make a phone call."
Tan Du answered this time: "Miss me so much?"
"What are you doing?" Qiao Zhuo asked, "What's with the noise?"
"I'm arranging a summons. I might have choked on the smoke," Tan Du cleared his throat. "Zhuoyi, my hands are greasy. I'll get back to you later."
Are you in such a hurry to hang up?
Qiao Zhuo returned to the living room in a state of anxiety. The two little ones were still playing the video over and over again. He had an idea and listened to Tan Du's voice again. The next second, he grabbed the key and walked out.
