Ji Changning v Si Chen (15)
After returning to the villa, Ji Changning hung the wind chime she bought by the window. She touched it and found the sound was crisp and pleasant. When the wind blew, it also made a sound. She stood there and watched it for a while.
After taking a shower, she felt a little dry in the mouth. There were some uneaten dried papayas on the bedside, so she picked them up and ate two.
I changed into pajamas and went downstairs.
The lights in the hall were on brightly, there were noises coming from the kitchen, and Ji Changning had just approached.
In the kitchen, the man was wearing home clothes, slightly bent over. Looking at him from the back, he had an inverted triangle figure with broad shoulders and narrow hips, full of sexual tension, his hair hanging in front of his forehead, his profile was clear and tough, and his eyelashes were slightly drooping.
The papaya on the cooking table was cut into small pieces. There were a lot of tools on the table, including scales, measuring cups, and everything else. He was not very skilled at cutting. He cut one and then used this one as a standard to cut another one.
Hearing the noise at the door, Si Chen turned around and looked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Ji Changning came back to his senses and said, "I'm thirsty. Come down and have some water."
"Wait a moment." Si Chen washed his hands, took the water and handed it to her.
Ji Changning thanked him and stood on tiptoe to look at him, "Why are you doing this by yourself?"
"Your morning sickness has eased a little after eating this. Let's make it tonight and you should be able to eat it tomorrow." Si Chen explained while leaning against the stove, "Do you want it to be a little more sour? Or should we make it according to what you eat?"
“That acidity is fine.”
"good."
Ji Changning nodded and put the cup aside. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Si Chen shook his head, "No, this is the last step, you go up and rest."
"Okay." Ji Changning turned around and suddenly remembered something, "I have to go back to school tomorrow."
Si Chen put the sliced papaya into a glass bowl and said, "I'll take you there."
"No, I can go by myself."
"Okay." Si Chen put on disposable gloves, "Then I'll let the driver follow you."
When Ji Changning went up the stairs, he glanced into the kitchen. The man looked focused and serious. He would look down at his phone from time to time. Under the soft light, the man's unclear facial features softened a little.
For some reason, she was actually somewhat reluctant to leave this moment.
Thinking of this, Ji Changning shook his head vigorously, exhaled deeply, turned around and went upstairs, taking every step firmly.

When I came out of school, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds. The clouds were very low, which should be a sign of rain.
Ji Changning just received the message from the driver and stood under the tree at the door waiting.
An email came in on his mobile phone. Ji Changning took a look at it and then buried his head in re-editing the message and sending it to the driver.
"Ji Changning?"
"Huh?" Before Ji Changning could raise his head, his mouth and nose were covered.
“Hmm!”
Two strong men directly controlled her hands and feet and carried her into a black car parked not far away. Ji Changning had almost no chance to struggle.
…
In the villa
The pickled papaya strips were made with yellow rock sugar and perilla, and they had been pickled for nearly six hours. Si Chen put on gloves and drained the water from the papaya strips. He took a spoon and tasted the remaining sweet and sour water, which was so sour that he frowned.
I found a glass jar to bottle the papaya strips and put them in the oven.
When the baking time was almost up, I put on heat-insulating gloves, took it out, and put it in a glass jar. After I did all this, it started to drizzle outside.
Si Chen took off her apron, walked out of the kitchen, picked up the phone next to her, and dialed Ji Changning's number. But the call showed no one answered. When she called again, the phone was turned off.
At that time, an unfamiliar number called and Si Chen picked up the call in confusion.
Not knowing what was said over there, Si Chen frowned, his pupils shrank, "What?"
