Chapter 12
Cheng Nan put Shen Chenxi on the bed, and Shen Chenxi realized that there was no mask on her face, she immediately stretched out her hand to cover her left face, looking at Cheng Nan with a panicky look.
Although Cheng Nan said that she didn’t mind the scar on her face, it was one thing to not mind it, but it was another thing to like it or not. She didn’t want to leave an ugly image in front of Cheng Nan on the first day of the new year.
Shen Chenxi tightly covered her left face with one hand, and when she turned over, she was about to open the bedside table to get a mask and put it on herself.
“Clang-dang-“
Cheng Nan leaned over and closed the opened bedside table, facing Shen Chenxi’s shocked eyes, grabbed her hand and stuffed her whole body into the thick quilt.
“You are not allowed to wear a mask when sleeping!” Cheng Nan’s voice was a little harsh, but then softened, “Sleep well first, and eat directly when you wake up.”
After Cheng Nan covered Shen Chenxi with the quilt, he was about to turn around and leave, when a cold and slender hand grabbed her wrist.
Cheng Nan looked at Shen Chenxi suspiciously.
Shen Chenxi didn’t type, but leaned on the bed and said a few words to Cheng Nan with his mouth open.
As if afraid that Cheng Nan would not understand, he said it slowly several times.
Cheng Nan followed Shen Chenxi’s mouth and translated, “Happy New Year?”
Shen Chenxi nodded vigorously.
The corners of Cheng Nan’s mouth rose, and he said softly, “You too, have a good rest.”
Cheng Nan touched Shen Chenxi’s head, rubbed it again, covered the four corners of the quilt for her, and walked out, she was going to prepare breakfast.
She didn’t see that after she left, Shen Chenxi hid in the bed and rolled for a long time.
In the days that followed, Cheng Nan treated Shen Chenxi as usual, even better than before in some aspects.
Shen Chenxi picked up the tomato and egg noodles in the pot and placed them in two bowls. Qu Zhi knocked on the kitchen door, indicating that Cheng Nan, who was still studying, could eat.
“Thanks for your hard work.”
Cheng Nan moved all his books to the ground aside, spread the tablecloth, and went to the kitchen to take out two sets of tableware.
Shen Chenxi shook her head and brought the large portion to Cheng Nan and the small portion in front of herself.
“Do you have enough?” Cheng Nan asked, looking at the two bowls with different weights.
Shen Chenxi nodded and raised her chin slightly, signaling her to eat quickly.
Cheng Nan was not polite, and just picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth. She was so hungry, and studying was so exhausting, she felt that half of her brain cells were dead.
“Delicious!” Cheng Nan habitually praised after taking a bite.
Shen Chenxi pursed her lips and smiled, picked up the chopsticks and lowered her head to eat.
No matter what the reason is, I am very happy and satisfied now, even if it is mixed with selfishness…it doesn’t matter.
“Dududu…dududu…”
The phone kept vibrating, and after Cheng Nan explained a difficult problem to Shen Chenxi, he picked up the phone to answer.
“Zhang Xiaomin, what’s the matter?”
“Hey! Cheng Nan! Come pick me up at the bus stop in front of Laojie! I’m back! I brought you the local specialties of my hometown! It’s killing me!” Zhang Xiaomin’s loud voice came from the phone, and even the man sitting next door Shen Chenxi heard it clearly.
“It’s only the fifth day of the new year, so you came back so early?”
Cheng Chengnan got up and pointed at the phone, and motioned to Shen Chenxi, “I’ll pick her up.”
Shen Chenxi looked at Cheng Nan’s figure who quickly left, and stood up silently, walked to the living room window and looked down to see Cheng Nan appearing on the old street downstairs after a while, walking in a hurry.
Are you so happy when Zhang Xiaomin is back?
Shen Chenxi looked at the old clock hanging on the wall, it was almost six o’clock.
Cheng Nan was not at home, and Shen Chenxi had no intention of studying, so he sat on the sofa with the news broadcast and waited for Cheng Nan to come back.
After a long time, Cheng Nan didn’t come back, Shen Chenxi got a little anxious, got up and walked to the window several times, and finally pursed his lips and picked up the key on the side, and planned to open the door to find Cheng Nan.
As soon as the door was opened, he ran into Cheng Nan who was standing outside the door with a big bag in his left and right hands to take out the keys. Cheng Nan was still a little shocked when he saw her, and asked, “It’s so late, where do you want to go?”
Shen Chenxi didn’t answer, she stepped forward and took a bag from Cheng Nan’s hand and carried it into the door.
“Oh, hey, I’m exhausted. Who am I provoking?” Zhang Xiaomin slowly walked upstairs with an oversized suitcase before he heard his voice. .
“Cheng Nan, you are inhuman, you are so strong and still don’t help me carry my suitcase, don’t wait for me to walk so fast, I’m going to die!” Zhang Xiaomin scolded while carrying the big suitcase upstairs.
“If you scold you again, get out of here and sleep on the street until your parents come back.” Cheng Nan said coldly.
Zhang Xiaomin was cowardly and did not dare to think about it.
Zhang Xiaomin finally came up, and seeing that the door was open but no one was there, he scolded Cheng Nan again in his heart before walking into the house and closing the door.
“Cheng Nan! Where’s my cotton slippers?” Zhang Xiaomin was squatting at the entrance and was about to change shoes, but found that there was no pair of cotton slippers on the shoe rack. She had come here often, so she deliberately left a pair of cotton slippers here.
“Probably, throw it away?” Cheng Nan put the bag on the cabinet beside him, turned his head and said uncertainly, “I threw it away for hygiene purposes during the New Year. Anyway, your shoes are almost broken, so it’s time to change them.”
Shen Chenxi was stunned when she heard the words, lowered her head and put several glasses of hot water on the dining table, signaling the two people who came in from outside to drink.
The shoes were thrown by her.
“Where is it broken, can you still wear it…” Zhang Xiaomin pursed his lips, opened his suitcase, and took out a pair of clean and thick cotton mops from inside.
“Fortunately, my aunt sewed a pair for me in my hometown, otherwise I wouldn’t freeze to death!”
Cheng Nan had already sipped the hot water and did not reply.
It was too cold, it rained yesterday, and the whole climate was cold and wet. Just now she accompanied Zhang Xiaomin to her house with two big bags, but she searched all over the place and called again to stay in her hometown to ask for food. The parents of the banquet only found out that her key was on the bedside table in her hometown and did not bring it, and she can’t enter the house now.
After crying and begging Cheng Nan for a while, Cheng Nan reluctantly agreed to let Zhang Xiaomin stay at her house for two days, and she would get out when her parents came back.
In fact, even if Zhang Xiaomin didn’t say it, Cheng Nan would propose to live at her house. After all, Zhang Xiaomin was her friend for nearly four years, and she was also her only friend in Huaxian before. Now her tenants are added to her friends.
“Hey, it’s so late, have you eaten dinner yet?” Cheng Nan Yuguang glanced at the old clock on the wall, only to realize that it was almost half past seven. They used to have dinner at six o’clock, but now she went out without eating. Now, I don’t know if Shen Chenxi has eaten or not.
Shen Chenxi has been thinking about Cheng Nan all the time, how can she remember to eat, so she raised her eyes to look at Cheng Nan, pursed her lips and shook her head.
“Then let’s cook noodles and eat them tonight. I remember there are tomatoes and eggs in the refrigerator, so let’s have tomato and egg noodles, okay?” Cheng Nan said embarrassedly.
Shen Chenxi can naturally, she will join Cheng Nan in everything she cooks, but the noodles are indeed the best Cheng Nan has ever cooked.
“Okay, I’ll cook now.” Cheng Nan got up and said to Zhang Xiaomin who was dragging his suitcase, “Have you had dinner yet?”
“I didn’t eat, I’m going to starve to death…” Zhang Xiaomin put the box away and slumped on the chair, holding hot water and drinking.
New Year’s Eve, the return trip was the most uncomfortable. The suitcases and bags were tightly stuffed, and she was the only one who almost died on the road.
“Then you can eat some too.” Cheng Nan said and went into the kitchen and started cooking to show off his skills.
Shen Chenxi has been sitting by the side and watching the two of them get along, with envy in her eyes. The relationship between Cheng Nan and Zhang Xiaomin is something she can’t have, and she can’t reach for the smooth communication alone.
She lowered her eyes, got up and went to the kitchen, took out some fruits from the refrigerator, washed them, and sent them to Zhang Xiaomin.
“Ah, thank you, thank you!” Zhang Xiaomin’s eyes were full of shock when he looked at the fruit plate that was handed over by a pair of beautiful jade hands.
At Cheng Nan’s house, she finally felt like a guest! In the past, Cheng Nan never regarded her as an outsider, no, not even a human being! The family is called a poor man, and he doesn’t have much to ask for, and he has to bring it from outside himself. At this moment, he actually eats fresh, clean, tender and tender fruits, and there are several kinds!
Shen Chenxi smiled and shook her head, sat opposite Zhang Xiaomin, watched her dabble with oranges, and asked herself if she would eat it, and finally saw her shaking her head and ate alone.
This kind of faintly revealing his identity as the master made Shen Chenxi feel a lot more comfortable.
She and Cheng Nan are the ones living in this house, and Zhang Xiaomin is an outsider.
