Chapter 70 As Long as You Like It
Su Lingyu was puzzled: "...yours?"
There was a huge height difference between her and Huo Yan. When she stood up straight, she could barely reach his shoulders. How could she wear his clothes? Wasn't that like a child wearing adult clothes?
She said perfunctorily: "I'll choose when the time comes."
Arriving at Jiang Yufeng's house, Su Lingyu didn't bother to be polite. She took the cotton clothes that Jiang Yufeng had found, the clothes and towel that Huo Yan had stuffed into her, and went into the bathroom.
Jiang Yufeng's family only had two kettles of hot water, and they were afraid that she would not have enough hot water for a bath, so they did not even bother to cook and just filled a kettle with water and boiled it on the fire.
Su Lingyu stood in the narrow toilet. She poured boiling water into a plastic bucket, then added cold water to adjust the temperature. When she was done, she used a plastic ladle to scoop water and pour it over her body to take a bath.
After being in the book for so long, this was the first time she felt the backwardness and inconvenience of the 1980s.
Not to mention the constant temperature massage bathtub, even in a house like Huo Yan's, although the electrical appliances have few functions and are not smart, they have a TV, a water heater and a refrigerator, which really far exceeds the living standards of ordinary people.
She couldn't help but type in the system: [Is there any way to die quickly? ]
[I really can't imagine being kicked out of the Huo family and living a hard life outside.]
[If I replace all the candies that Gu Yanying secretly hid with bitter melon flavor, do you think he would want to strangle me to death? ]
The system dared not speak: [This...]
There was a knock on the toilet door, and Jiang Yufeng shouted from outside: "Lingyu, the water is ready, I'll bring it in for you."
"No, no, just leave it at the door and I can get it myself." Su Lingyu said immediately.
"Okay! If there's not enough water, tell me and I'll continue to boil it!"
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Jiang."
Su Lingyu is not afraid of bothering others, but she is mainly afraid of bothering herself. It takes time to heat water, and she doesn't want to wait with bubbles all over her body, so she just dilutes the water as much as possible before washing.
Fortunately, it is summer, so there is no need to worry about catching a cold.
Zaizai washed her body carefully three times and smelled it. There was no fishy smell on her body anymore, but the scent of shower gel was everywhere. She was finally satisfied.
But she had trouble getting dressed again.
You must wear your own underwear. No matter what, you can only go home to take a shower and change.
But the outerwear...
She chose and gave up Jiang Yufeng's new cotton dress with a reddish-brown base and yellow cloud pattern, and picked up the clothes that Huo Yan stuffed into her hand.
When I shook it open, I saw a military green round-neck short-sleeved shirt that was a little pale from being washed, a pair of thin dark green military pants, and a brown leather belt that was two fingers wide.
Comparing it to her body, Huo Yan's 1.9-meter height was not a big deal. His shirt was just above her knees, and his military pants were pulled up to her chest.
Su Lingyu: "..."
There is something we can do.
After thinking for a while, she put on a military green round-neck short-sleeved shirt, gathered her wet hair and pulled it out from the collar, then smoothed it out and let it fall behind her.
A brown belt tied around his waist transformed his shirt into an army green cotton dress.
With her wet black hair, she opened the bathroom door and walked into the living room.
At one point, Huo Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, and Gu Yanying, who had just walked in, looked at her at the same time. The two had very similar looks in their eyes, both filled with a mixture of emotions that were difficult to describe in terms of complexity.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?" Su Lingyu gathered her dripping hair, walked to the round mirror hanging on the wall, looked at herself, and thought she looked okay.
Not stunningly good looking, but not ugly either.
She turned around and looked at the mirror, not noticing that Huo Yan's eyes suddenly became fiery. She closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing, but her Adam's apple still rolled unbearably.
Nor did he notice that Gu Yanying was looking at the clothes on her that clearly belonged to Huo Yan, with cold eyes, and tightened her hand holding the plastic bag.
She didn't take the difference between the two seriously. It didn't matter. As long as she felt comfortable, that was all that mattered.
After looking in the mirror, she turned the electric fan in the room towards herself, fixed the direction, and enjoyed the cool breeze blowing her hair alone.
Gu Yanying walked up to her and squatted down. She took out a shoe box from the plastic bag she was carrying, took out a pair of white stiletto sandals and placed them in front of her. It seemed that they were bought specially for her.
Su Lingyu looked at him with a puzzled look, and rarely looked him in the eye: "You came so late, did you go to buy shoes?"
"Um."
"Huo Yan has already bought it for me..." Having said this, Su Lingyu looked at the pair of not-so-beautiful brown mama flats on her feet, blinked her almond-shaped eyes, and was as quiet as a chicken.
Gu Yanying chuckled and said, "Try it on to see if it's the right size and whether I made a mistake in my estimation."
Su Lingyu shook her feet, kicked off her flat shoes, and put her feet into white high-heeled sandals. They were neither too big nor too small, just her size, and also her favorite style.
She finally had a good look on Gu Yanying, pursed her lips and smiled, praising her: "Well done, you've worked hard."
She then gave him a pair of shoes as a gift, making them even.
Gu Yanying stood up with a smile: "As long as you like it."
Huo Yanfeng, who was sitting on the sofa, had dark eyes and his big hands almost crushed the armrest of the sofa.
He pointed at the gifts piled up like a small mountain on the coffee table and said in a deep voice, "Thank you Professor Gu for saving our Lingyu today. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
"Please tell me the cost of the shoes."
Gu Yanying's peach blossom eyes turned cold as she looked at the gift on the tea table.
Fruits, canned food, nutritious milk powder... almost half of the supply and marketing cooperatives were moved here. The Huo family was indeed very wealthy.
Looking at Huo Yan, who regarded himself as Su Lingyu's protector, he sneered.
Su Lingyu looked at the two strange people and felt that something was wrong, but she was too lazy to think about it.
Aren't all men troublesome creatures?
She smoothed her hair which was almost blown dry, and after getting Jiang Yufeng's permission, she found a medical book from the study and began to read.
…
In the kitchen, Jiang Yufeng was busy in front of the stove, completely unaware of the undercurrents in the living room.
She rarely cooks on weekdays and mostly eats out in the company cafeteria. She has cooking skills, but she is not fast.
It was getting dark outside. She worked for an hour or two before preparing three dishes and a soup. She shouted in the kitchen, "Dinner is ready, dinner is ready."
Su Lingyu was already hungry, and called out to Gu Yanying: "Go serve the dishes and rice, and be quick."
Gu Yanying smiled and stood up: "Yes, Miss."
Huo Yan watched coldly.
The food was served: a pan-fried crucian carp, a plate of mapo tofu, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a red date and longan chicken soup.
It's steaming hot and has great color, aroma and taste.
Jiang Yufeng smiled and took out a bottle of wine she brewed herself from the cupboard, and said happily: "This is good stuff. I usually don't want to take it out to entertain guests. Today you can drink it freely. Just drink less, Lingyu. Although the alcohol content of this wine is not high, it has a strong aftertaste."
As she spoke, she poured each of them a cup.
The sweet aroma of wine filled her nostrils. Su Lingyu, who had never tasted wine before, brightened her eyes. She didn't even bother to eat, but picked up the wine glass and took a small sip.
The wine mixed with the aroma of grape pulp tastes a bit astringent at first, but has a sweet aftertaste.
She took one sip after another, and soon finished her own glass. She looked at the big wine bottle in Jiang Yufeng's hand, like a little mouse that had finally climbed onto the lampstand and was obsessed with eating lamp oil.
The longing look in his eyes speaks for itself.
