After finishing the apple in his hand in two or three bites, Gu Chijin propped himself up and walked out of the room.
Standing outside the door, I saw Shi Qi wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.
She tied her hair loosely at the back of her head, with a few wet strands draped over her chest, leaving traces of water. She lowered her head, revealing her slender, white neck.
This was the first time Gu Chijin discovered that Shiqi's neck was beautiful.
After hesitating, he walked to the kitchen door and asked uncomfortably:
"Do you need help?"
Hearing the voice, Shiqi looked up.
Her black hair fell on her cheeks, making her eyes look moist and her face look white, and she looked peaceful.
"No, just wait outside, it will be ready soon."
As he spoke, Shi Qi shredded the carrots and started shredding the wood ear mushrooms.
When you have time, raise your hand and tuck the hair that falls on your cheek behind your ear.
Gu Chijin didn't move. He watched her chop the fungus and mix the seasonings skillfully, feeling complicated inside.
She is really different from before.
If she had come back in such a mess before, she would have been furious.
Forget cooking, even if you say a word to her, she will retaliate.
Now, she cleaned herself up and went to the kitchen to cook.
He was so diligent that he was confused.
"We had egg pancakes for lunch today, so I made some cold black fungus. If you have anything special you want to eat, tell me and I'll go get it."
Seeing Gu Chijin staring at her hand movements, Shi Qi misunderstood that he was dissatisfied with the lunch dishes and explained softly.
Gu Chijin was stunned for a moment, but after hearing what she said, he realized that she had misunderstood.
He didn't explain, just hummed and left the kitchen.
After mixing the cold dishes, Shi Qi turned the pancake over in the pan. Thinking that there was some water spinach at home, he took it out and washed it together.
It is indeed a bit too little for two people to eat one dish, so she decided to cook more dishes.
The pancakes were served on the table, and Gu Chijin went into the house to get something.
Hearing Shi Qi's shout, he slowly walked out of the house. Because of his leg injury, his posture was a bit awkward and funny.
Jiang Chen came over yesterday and saw that he had difficulty moving around, so he said he would bring him a crutch in two days, and Gu Chijin didn't refuse.
Having a crutch is better than having to walk with the support of a wall all day.
Sitting at the dinner table, Gu Chijin glanced at Shi Qi and put the thirty yuan in his hand in front of her.
Seeing her looking at him in confusion, Gu Chijin cleared his throat and explained calmly:
"Food expenses have been high these days, this is the money for the food."
Shi Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Gu Chijin intently, pushed the money in front of him, and refused:
"No, I haven't used up all the allowance you sent home before. It's enough for buying groceries."
I still have the allowance he gave me before. Even though I spent more than one yuan to go to the city yesterday, I still have eighty-four yuan in my hand.
This amount of money is not a small sum. As long as she plans carefully, it will be enough for her to make a living in this era.
The most important point is that since she has decided to divorce him, she doesn't want to have any financial involvement with this person anymore.
Gu Chijin's expression changed slightly, and he became increasingly confused about Shi Qi.
In the past, if I gave her money, she would just put it in her arms and complain that the money was too little.
Now, he gave the money, but this woman refused to accept it?
Gu Chijin was a little angry. He picked up a piece of egg pancake with chopsticks and took a big bite without saying anything to Shi Qi.
The thirty yuan lay flat on the table.
Shi Qi didn't care, took three pancakes and prepared to go out.
Seeing that she was leaving without even eating, Gu Chijin put down his chopsticks and frowned:
"Where are you going again?"
"I was at Mrs. Jiang's this morning, taking over her sewing machine to make clothes, and I still have half of them left to do."
Shi Qi bit a pancake in his mouth and bent down to put on his shoes:
"When you're done eating, just cover the food with the cover. I'll come back and clean up the rest."
Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Gu Chijin's brows were filled with irritation, but he couldn't say anything else.
Let’s go, let’s go.
I used to wish I could stay away from her. I could rest better when she was not at home.
Gu Chijin comforted himself in this way, but his eyes were always fixed on Shi Qi, unable to move away.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the woman had lost a little weight in just two days.
Could it be that she has been exercising these past two days?
Thinking about Shi Qi getting up early every day, Gu Chijin's gaze moved down along her head to her feet wearing shoes.
Only then did Gu Chijin realize that her leg was bleeding.
"hour,,"
He uttered a word, and when he saw Shi Qi looking up at him, Gu Chijin pointed at her calf.
"Your leg is injured."
After being reminded by Gu Chijin, Shi Qi looked at his leg and saw traces of blood on the wound.
Everyone forgot about this.
Having just finished a shower, Shi Qi originally wanted to cook before disinfecting the wound.
After being busy in the kitchen, Shi Qi had forgotten that his leg was injured.
The weather is hot now. If we don’t take care of it, inflammation will cause trouble.
Gu Chijin's room was the only place in the house that had alcohol. Shi Qi looked at him and said politely:
"Can I borrow the alcohol in your room for disinfection?"
Having never seen her so polite, Gu Chijin looked away and nodded stiffly:
"Go get it. It's on my nightstand."
Shi Qi naturally knew where the alcohol was, and with his permission, he walked straight to his room.
Gu Chijin's leg injury required a change of dressing every day, and the room was filled with the smell of disinfectant and ointment.
It's not unpleasant, but it's definitely not pleasant on a hot summer day.
Looking at the tightly closed window, Shi Qi hesitated, then stepped forward and reached out to push open a small gap to let the wind in.
The room was stuffy, and a cool breeze came in, making the air inside much fresher.
Even though he was injured, Gu Chijin cleaned the house and the bed.
The quilts were neatly stacked at the end of the bed, and the clothes and pants were folded and placed in order in the wooden box.
