Chapter 20
Chen Pu used the navigation system. Wow, they were now in the suburbs and had to cross the river to go home. The traffic was very congested and red.
When we drove to a section of road, we saw vegetable and fruit picking gardens on both sides. Li Qingyao was leaning lazily, and suddenly said, "Figs? I rarely see people picking these."
Chen Pu immediately stopped the car on the side of the road, put his hands on the steering wheel, and asked, "Do you want to pick some? The road is jammed anyway, so it's better to go there at a different time. There aren't many of these things picked, so you can bring some home."
Li Qingyao was really moved: "Let's go!"
This was originally a farmer's orchard, and picking fruits was just a way to make some money. Chen Pu asked about the price, said it was okay, and then took Li Qingyao's hand and walked inside. Li Qingyao was a little slow to react: "You don't even bother to bargain?" This kind of thing can definitely be negotiated.
Chen Pu held her hand in his palm, thinking that he hadn't held her hand for a few days. He smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, let them make some money."
Actually, Chen Pu still felt a little distressed - if he and his brothers came here at other times, they would definitely bargain first. After all, these years whenever he went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, he would ask if he could order less. But today, in front of Li Qingyao, he felt a surge of excitement of reunion after a long separation, and their relationship was different from before, so he was inexplicably embarrassed to bargain in front of her.
But seeing her disapproving reaction, Chen Pu also regretted it - she shouldn't think that he is no better at living than before, what a mistake!
However, the fruits in this house are growing really well, all of them are plump and most of them are ripe. Chen Pu was not very interested. He just followed closely with a basket in his hand, ready to hand over the basket at any time and tidy it up as well. Li Qingyao seemed to be the one in charge. He picked the fruits seriously, one on the left and one on the right. In a short while, he had filled half the basket.
Li Qingyao pulled Chen Pu's arm and pointed to the top of his head: "That one looks big, I can't reach it, you come."
Chen Pu followed her hand and saw the fruit on the branch, then turned his head and looked back at her face. The light in the woods was half bright and half dark, but the slanting rays of light from the sunset gave her face a special glow. Her tone was calm, yet it carried a natural arrogance. It was like this before, and it is still like this now that I am your girlfriend. For some reason, Chen Pu found it particularly useful.
She wants fruit, so she must be given fruit.
Chen Pu's emotions slowly rose and fell in his chest. He put down the basket and suddenly stretched out his hands. He held her waist from behind and lifted her up easily. His voice was so low that it seemed to come from the wind: "Can you pick it now?"
Li Qingyao: ...
Li Qingyao was very embarrassed. She was no longer a child and her girlish heart had died completely during those years. But Chen Pu's behavior, if you say it's childish, is also very steady; if you say it's mature, it's also very silly.
She said nothing, but reached out and quickly picked the fruit.
Chen Pu put her back on the ground, picked up the basket with one hand, held her hand again with the other, and continued walking forward, saying, "Which one do you want to pick?"
"Let's see."
They walked deeper into the woods, and the light became dimmer. There were only dense trees and yellow earth around them, and the dark sky. There was no one in sight. This gives people a very quiet and lonely feeling.
This feeling is rarely encountered in the city. There was also a strange feeling stirring in Li Qingyao's heart.
She said inexplicably: "Then can you pick me up with one hand?"
Chen Pu glanced at her.
The evening breeze gently blew the short hair beside her ears, and her eyes were shrouded in a layer of tranquil luster in the twilight. His originally warm heart seemed to beat along with the trembling of her eyelashes.
He thought to himself, I carried you on my back with one hand a long time ago, but you were too careless before, so you must have forgotten.
"You won't know until you try it." Chen Pu said, putting his left arm behind his back and stretching out his right arm, looking very graceful. Li Qingyao thought they were both a little funny, but he still took a step forward.
Chen Pu hugged him around the waist. Li Qingyao only felt the strong arm tightly wrapped around her waist, and she had already flown into the air.
But she was a long person after all, and not easy to catch, so Chen Pu had to push her up, and ended up carrying most of the person on his shoulders.
Li Qingyao was afraid of losing his balance, so he quickly stretched out his hands and hugged his head. Chen Pu buried his face in her belly and laughed out loud. His left hand was still behind his back pretentiously, and he took a few steps forward. Li Qingyao almost never screamed, but at this moment, in the orchard that looked like a wild forest, only the wind blew the leaves, rustling around them. Chen Pu held her up high and steadily, as if he was patiently coaxing a child. She suddenly laughed out loud.
Chen Pu had never heard her laugh so happily before. It was as if there was a deep pool in his chest. With her laughter, ripples appeared and then overflowed. He finally changed his hands, held her firmly, and put her down. She slid into his arms, with a remnant smile still on her face, and looked at him with eyes full of smiles.
Chen Pu put one hand behind her back, letting her lean against the tree trunk, and with his other hand he held her, lowered his head and approached her, asking, "Did you raise it with one hand?"
Li Qingyao made his usual nitpicking: "It's OK, but it doesn't feel particularly stable, and the angle is not perfect."
"Cao, do you want a cow?"
Li Qingyao laughed non-stop.
Chen Pu stared at her, his face getting closer and closer, and neither of them smiled.
"Did you miss me?" he asked softly.
Li Qingyao didn't answer, but raised a finger and gently poked his Adam's apple. Chen Pu looked into her eyes and bent down to kiss her.
This was a completely different kiss from their first kiss.
Chen Pu seemed to be doing it on purpose. He kissed very lightly and slowly, licking a little bit with his tongue and sucking slowly with his lips. He seemed to be tasting a rare glass of fine wine, taking a sip and pecking at it gently, with a lingering aftertaste. Li Qingyao thought that he was really good at making trouble, and his heart felt numb and soft after being kissed. But she would not let him go. She closed her eyes, gently touched his neck with one hand, and rubbed his ears with the other. Chen Pu held her lips and panted slightly. The five fingers of the hand on her waist slid up and down along the side of her body, bringing waves of tingling sensation.
After a long time, Li Qingyao pushed Chen Pu away, and there was a deep smile in his eyes: "I'm really dizzy, why are you picking figs? Let's go back to my house. Aren't you going to read Ye Songming's diary?"
Li Qingyao was speechless. Do you look like you are going to read a man's diary?
She looked at the basket and said, "How can this be enough for my family? Pick some more."
"No need to bring any more, just the two of us, there's plenty for both of us."
"No, I don't care about your family. I want to bring some to my parents. It's so fresh."
Chen Pu sighed deeply, picked up the basket with one hand, held the person with the other hand, and continued picking. But this time he might have wanted to speed up the process, so he quickly let go of her and picked the fruits quickly.
At this time, Chen Pu saw a big fruit on the top of the tree. Without waiting for Li Qingyao's instructions, he estimated in his mind that he must not embarrass himself in front of his girlfriend. Then he took a few steps to run, jumped up, and with his long arms, he accurately picked the big fruit.
Li Qingyao stared at his beautiful and smooth movements.
In fact, Chen Pu on that night three years ago was much more lively, carefree, and still had some youthfulness. But tonight, when Chen Pu jumped in the same posture, his temperament exuded an indescribable calmness and restraint.
But it is still a very beautiful painting.
Seeing her staring at him in a daze, Chen Pu walked over and pinched her chin: "Are you impressed by my handsomeness?"
Li Qingyao shook his head: "It's just a little unexpected. I didn't expect that a 30-year-old still has residual agility."
Chen Pu corrected him seriously: "I'm only 29, and I still have 7 months to go before I turn 30."
"Aren't men's ages calculated by their lunar years?"
"Then I'm only 5 years older than you."
Li Qingyao chuckled, "That is to say, when you were in the second year of high school, I was only in the sixth grade of elementary school. When you think about it this way, do you feel that you are particularly shameless?"
Chen Pu was silent. He lowered his head and picked the largest ripe fig from the basket. He wiped it on his clothes, broke it open, exposing the flesh, and brought it to her mouth: "It's all my fault. Why don't you eat a fig?"
Li Qingyao was very satisfied with his immediate kneeling. Just as he was about to reach out to take the fruit, Chen Pu moved his hand away, indicating that he wanted to feed him. Li Qingyao smiled and opened his mouth to bite, but his arm moved away again like lightning, and he lowered his head and bit her open lips, tasting them deeply and repeatedly for a while before he said, "I am just shameless, what can you do to me?"
