She returned home safely. The moment she opened the door, she paused, "Captain Zhou, wait a moment."
She called out to Zhou Ziheng who was about to turn and leave. He turned around and looked at her in confusion.
"Wait a minute." She didn't say anything, turned and went into the yard. After a while, she came out with a bag in her hand.
Lu Xiangxiang stuffed the contents of the bag into his hand. The bag was heavy and no one knew what was in it.
"This is?"
"This is a thank you gift for the chocolate you treated me to today. It would be unreasonable for me not to give something in return after eating such expensive chocolates, Captain. Please don't refuse it, Captain." She winked playfully.
The girl had a bright smile on her face, especially her eyes, which were blinking. Her bright eyes with a smile entered his heart.
Plop, plop.
He gripped the bag with his knuckles tightening unconsciously until the girl in front of him said, "Captain, good night."
She turned and went back into the house, her steps brisk, as if she felt lighter all over after paying off her 'debt'.
In fact, this is indeed the case. She doesn't like to owe favors to others.
After watching her go into the house, he looked down at the cloth bag in his hand. When he opened it, he found several fragrant and tempting apples inside.
Because of Grandpa, their family never lacked special apples, but none of them looked as good as the ones she gave them. They were fresh, red, big, and exuded the tempting apple fragrance.
Zhou Ziheng laughed, hung the bag in front of the handlebars and went back.
When I got home, I parked the car in the yard and walked in.
When I went in, everyone in the family was there, gathered in front of the TV watching TV.
"Oh my dear brother, you are finally back. I found that you seem to be very busy recently."
"A little, but I'm done."
"Hey, brother, what are you holding in your hand?" Zhou Minmin looked at the bag in Zhou Ziheng's hand curiously.
"Is it bought for me? Let me see." Zhou Minmin opened the bag and her eyes widened when she saw the apples in the bag.
"Oh, these are apples, am I seeing right? Such big and round apples." She exclaimed, then snatched the bag and took out the fruits to share.
"Grandma, Grandpa's fruit is so big, even bigger than the one you got as welfare distribution last month." Zhou Minmin exclaimed.
"Really? This is a special fruit? Where did you get it?" Although their family is rich and it is not impossible for them to buy fruits to eat, if they want to buy fruits of such good quality, they have to spend some time to buy them. Even if they want to buy them, they won't be able to look this good.
"This was given to me by someone else." Before he could react, Zhou Minmin took it away. Her expression suddenly darkened: "Minmin, who taught you to rummage through other people's things? You have no manners at all."
"What do you mean by 'others'? It was obviously Big Brother's stuff that I was translating." Zhou Minmin muttered in dissatisfaction after being told off.
"Even if it's my stuff, you can't just touch it. Do you have any awareness that it's someone else's?" He continued to frown and lecture his sister.
"Okay, okay, it's just a fruit, why are you so angry?" Zhou Minmin muttered to herself, but her hand showed no intention of returning the fruit.
"Bring it back," he said.
Zhou Minmin walked over, Zhou Ziheng took an apple from inside, and then went upstairs without saying anything.
After seeing the eldest brother leave, Zhou Minmin cursed: "How stingy."
Grandma Li said with some amusement, "Didn't you say that Big Brother was the best in the world? Why do you call him stingy now?"
"He's just angry about a piece of fruit this time. It's not like I haven't rummaged through his things before. Is it necessary to be so angry?"
"Okay, you really shouldn't do these things. Will you remember this next time?" Grandma Zhou said to her in a very gentle voice.
Zhou Minmin said "oh" and was already amazed by the fresh fragrance of the apple. She thought the apple must be delicious.
She opened the bag and prepared to take out the fruit. What did she see?
She stretched out her index finger and thumb to pick up a black thing, and she looked at the long thing in surprise and doubt.
"Is this hair? So long? It definitely isn't Big Brother's. And this hair isn't mine either. My hair isn't this short." She muttered to herself, and suddenly her eyes lit up. "Oh, I get it. This fruit must have been given to Big Brother by a woman. That's why he was so angry when I snatched it from him."
Her sudden surprise made Grandma Li laugh: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Your eldest brother is such a blockhead that he doesn't like girls. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so worried. I finally got him to agree to meet and get engaged, but the Lu family..."
Grandma Li was really angry when she talked about this, and she blamed herself for having misjudged the Lu family. She didn't expect that the Lu family would be like this. She secretly felt lucky that they didn't become in-laws, otherwise she would have vomited to death.
That’s what grandma said, maybe she was overthinking it. She shook her head and threw those weird thoughts aside. She couldn’t wait to take the fruit to the kitchen to peel it, and a plate of clean fruit came out.
She brought the fruit to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, eat it."
"Okay, thank you." Grandma Li put down the book in her hand and ate a piece of apple. Hmm, it tasted really good. It was the first time in her life that she had eaten such delicious fruit.
"I don't know where big brother got the fruit, it tastes so good. I want to buy some too." The taste is so good that people can't help but want to eat it a second time after eating it once.
Upstairs, Zhou Ziheng looked at the apple that he could just hold in one hand. His heart was beating fast and an indescribable feeling spread across his chest.
He put the apple on the table, took his clothes and went downstairs to take a shower. When he returned to the dining table, it was already filled with rice and dishes, which Grandma Li had just heated up for him.
His heart warmed, and he sat down to have his long-awaited meal.
After eating and drinking, he said goodbye to his family and then went upstairs.
When I came to the desk, I saw a big, round apple lying on the table.
The apple looks tempting. I ate it today and it tastes so good that I want to eat it a second time.
Saliva rises to the mouth and is continuously secreted.
He didn't eat the apple, but instead put it on a rack he had specially built in front of the table.
He could see it from this position just by looking up, and it seemed as if he could see the girl's face.
She is undoubtedly beautiful, but what is even more attractive is her bright eyes.
Like pearls in the dark night, they can be seen clearly even under the dim street lights.
Especially the curved arc is like a crescent moon, which is very flexible.
His eyes looked more and more deeply as he looked at the apple, and his hands unconsciously began to rub the surface of the apple.
When he came to his senses, the surface of the apple had been polished smooth and translucent by him.
