Sweetness

For a while, no one raised any objections.

"Then I'll take you to the room." Tian Tian smiled and walked ahead, looking back at them from time to time, "Do you have a favorite room? For example, what do you want for the windows and what do you want for the bed, you can say anything."

Qu Yiming responded with a smile: "We are rough, don't pick!"

"The boy should live in the two rooms here." Tian Tian stopped and said to the girl walking behind, "You wait here for me."

"Okay." Cen Xi agreed.

From the back door of the main room, a new world is constructed by the rectangular and simple corridor.Wooden pillars, carved railings, and lush green plants in the corners surround the small yard with a unique view.

They were at the corner of the rectangular corridor at the moment.

Tian Tian led the three boys to the room on the right. The sound of the wheels of the suitcase scraping the ground could be heard endlessly. Just as Xu Qingning looked away, Cen Xi's surprised voice sounded in his ears.

When Xu Qingning looked over, she had already walked into the small yard, circling around something, looking at them: "Is this the legendary stone mill?"

Pan Chen responded, "It should be."

"Wow, I want to try it!" Cen Xi's eyes widened with excitement, "I've seen this thing on TV, and I've always wanted to try it."

"Try it, tell Tiantian later." Pan Chen also followed into the yard.

"This one is for pounding medicine, I've seen it before!" Cen Xi picked up a stone pestle next to him, held it up to his nose and sniffed it, his expression changed instantly, "The one for pounding pepper..." She sneezed appropriately .

"Hahahaha," Pan Chen laughed at her, "Curiosity killed the cat!"

"I haven't seen it before," Cen Xi said coquettishly, seeing Xu Qingning still in a daze in the corridor, he called her, "Ah Suan?"

Xu Qingning looked over, and she said again: "Why are you in a daze."

"No." Xu Qingning followed suit.

The three of them researched all kinds of strange stone tools, Tian Tian came out quickly and looked at them: "Do you want to try it?"

"Try again later," Cen Xi leaned forward, "Put the things away first."

Tian Tian responded well and led them to the other side of the corridor. When they reached the corner, Tian Tian stopped: "This is it."

Cen Xi was curious: "Is it our room?"

"They are sour," Tian Tian replied, "Our room is in that corner."

"it is good."

Pan Chen went in first, followed by Xu Qingning, seeing Tian Tian leading Cen Xi to the other side of the corridor, with the phrase 'our room' still ringing in his ears.

Tonight, Cen Xi and Tian are sleeping sweetly, which can indeed be said to be their room.

But the mood is always a little strange, what's going on?

Xu Qingning could understand Qu Yiming's arrangement.

Although they all had a good relationship, she was usually the closest to Pan Chen, and it was reasonable to arrange them in the same room. If she raised an objection, it would only arouse their exploration and suspicion.

Only then did Xu Qingning realize that subconsciously she wanted to share a room with Tian Tian.

Tian Tian's room was said to be occupied by people, and she subconsciously put her own identity of "compared to other people, she has the closest relationship with her" into it, thinking that she would definitely share the same room with Tian Tian.

Probably because what was thought to happen did not happen in the end, the emotional change caused by the gap.

Xu Qingning followed Pan Chen into the inner room, put the suitcase in the corner, and asked herself: Does she really want to share the same room with Tian Tian?It seems not.Tian Tian wants to be in the same room as her, she just satisfies her.

"Do you want to pack it now?" Pan Chen spread the suitcase on the ground and asked her, "Or come later?"

"Let's put it aside, it seems like we're about to eat."

Xu Qingning's intuition was right, Tian Tian came over after the two of them stayed in the room for a long time and told them to eat.

The six people sat down around the round table in the main room. Aunt Mai led Xiao Huzi out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Then you eat first, and we will go home first."

Qu Yiming was stunned, and invited her: "Aren't Auntie together?"

"No, let's go home and eat." He said, ignoring their persuasion, and led the screaming little tiger into the yard.

Mai Sui and Tian Tian came out at the right time, Mai Sui put down the things in his hands and explained: "My mother is afraid that she will be restrained when she is with us, and we won't be able to keep her, so we can just let her go and eat by ourselves."

The two sat down on the empty seats, and Tian Tian happened to be on Xu Qingning's right.

Xu Qingning looked at her, Tian Tian smiled and handed her something: "This is osmanthus rice wine made by Aunt Mai herself, do you want to try it?"

Xu Qingning responded, "Wine?"

"I want to taste it," Qu Yiming took the thing, the rice wine was in a glass bottle, and the degree couldn't be seen, he asked, "Is the degree high?"

"It's not high, it's more than ten degrees." Maisui replied.

"Then try it, try it all." Qu Yiming got up and poured wine for everyone. They were about the same age, and a group of people raised their glasses and clinked first.

The rice wine is sweet and smooth in the mouth. After swallowing, there is a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus lingering on the tip of the tongue. Xu Qingning couldn't hold back and took another two sips.

Tian Tian leaned over and reminded in a low voice: "Are you drinking well? This one will get drunk too."

Xu Qingning said modestly, "It doesn't seem to be very good."

"Ah?" Tian Tian looked over.

"Ah Sour's studies are broken," Qu Yiming said mercilessly, "Don't trust her, Tiantian, she's drunk a mix of white, red, and yellow. This degree is like drinking water. No shit."

Xu Qingning glanced at him, Qu Yiming hurriedly corrected him: "Nothing happened."

Tian Tian nodded belatedly, Xu Qingning frowned and looked at Qu Yiming who was drinking wine and eating food: "Do you not know how to write the word modest?"

Qu Yiming: "..." Do you have to be modest about your drinking capacity?

Naturally, one had to eat food when drinking, but fortunately, there was Qu Yiming, a chatterbox, during the banquet, and the atmosphere was not dull.

Every time he ate a dish, he had to ask what it was, and after Mai Sui answered, he immediately said "delicious", praising Aunt Mai's cooking skills.

Xu Qingning eats vegetables slowly most of the time, just as she put a chopsticks of vegetables into her mouth, she suddenly heard Tian Tian calling her: "Sour!" Her voice was quite eager.

Xu Qingning wondered: "Huh?"

The others were attracted by this movement, Tian Tian was slightly embarrassed, and whispered: "You just ate chicken gizzards."

Xu Qingning chewed it twice and asked, "Why does chicken gizzard taste like this?"

"Smoked."

"Ah." Xu Qingning responded.

Tian Tian's voice became softer: "...Don't you not eat offal?"

"Ah," Xu Qingning's heart was brightened instantly, she overcame her psychological barrier and swallowed the chicken gizzard, her face was calm, "I'm picky eater, it's fine."

"..."

Qu Yiming sent Pan Chen: "Come on, give our non-picky eater Ah Suan a piece of carrot, let her feel the charm of carrots."

Xu Qingning looked at the carrots in the bowl, gave Qu Yiming a 'grateful' smile, and said nothing.

Maisui suddenly said, "Is the name Sour?"

Qu Yiming took over the conversation: "It's a nickname. But this nickname matches the name Tiantian very well, unfortunately, Tiantian is the second sister..."

"Qu Yiming," Xu Qingning finished drinking him, smiling softly, "Is there any wine left? Pour me a glass."

Qu Yiming got up to pour wine for Xu Qingning, and suddenly heard Maisui smiled: "Does it match? Isn't bitterness that goes with sweetness?"

The others were startled for a while, then laughed because of He Tiantian's similar answer at the beginning, Xu Qingning looked at Maisui: "Sweet, sweet, bitter, and bitter."

"It's okay," Mai Sui replied, "It's sweet first, then bitter, remembering bitterness and thinking sweet, is it a good match?"

Xu Qingning just smiled and didn't answer any more.

But she was spurning herself in her heart, she was so childish!

The thought that flashed through her mind just now turned out to be: Your ears of wheat have nothing to do with suffering.

Xu Qingning faintly felt that she had been a little derailed recently, both in thought and behavior, so she sipped the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, trying to find peace.

With enough food and drink, eight people gathered around the table to play the Monopoly game brought by Qu Yiming, and formed a city in groups. The team led by Xu Qingning won two games in a row, and it was eight o'clock before they knew it.

Xu Qingning yawned, "Are you going to take a shower and go to sleep?" She looked at Tian Tian.

Before Tian Tian could speak, a group of people had already looked over.

Qu Yiming: "Are my ears broken?"

Cen Xi: "The night owl has become a good man?"

Pan Chen: "Is something wrong with us recently or something wrong with you?"

Xu Qingning blocked Qu Feng's possible summary statement, and said, "I'm tired after running around all day, can't I?"

A group of people threw dice to decide the order of bathing, and each went back to the room. Xu Qingning slumped on the chair in the room, and Pan Chen squatted to pack the suitcase, laughing at her: "How did Qu Yiming offend you recently?"

Xu Qingning retorted: "Isn't he always messing with me?"

"He used to be like this. He just has this temper. It's not like you don't know it." Pan Chen put the cosmetic bag and other things on the table, took out his pajamas, "I remember you weren't angry before."

Xu Qingning said in a faint voice, "It seems that I used to have a too good temper."

"Get up and pack your things." Pan Chen tidied up and called her again, "Do you want me to take out your pajamas for you?"

"Not busy, sit down for a while."

Pan Chen smiled: "Strange, you were the one who said you were too sleepy just now, and now you are the one who said you are not in a hurry to take a shower."

Pan Chen approached her.

Xu Qingning was lying on the chair with her head up, her black curly hair hanging in the air, her neck line was thin and slender, two shirt buttons were unbuttoned at some point, revealing a thin red thread, which was so attractive.

Pan Chen looked away and smiled, "You've been a little weird lately."

She sat down beside her: "Because of what happened last time?"

Xu Qingning opened her eyes: "I also think I'm a bit strange."

"Pan Chen," Xu Qingning called her, and simply sat up straight, "How does it feel to like someone?"

The door was pushed open from the outside, the conversation stopped, the two looked over at the same time, Cen Xi, who had just finished a shower, walked in with wet hair, Xu Qingning raised her eyebrows: "Looking for a hair dryer?"

"No, let me ask who of you will change rooms with me today."

"What do you mean?" Xu Qingning asked.

"My aunt has just arrived, and on the first day, she might be bleeding like a river," Cen Xi said while looking at the bed in this room, and immediately decided: "I'll just sleep here. There are two bunk beds under Tiantian's bed. Mattress, I don’t dare to lie on it even if my mother puts on a small blanket, what if it leaks.”

"Does Tian Tian know?"

"Not yet," Cen Xi directly picked up Pan Chen's hair dryer and dried her hair, "She definitely said it's okay, but I really dare not lie down, please help me, otherwise I really dare not sleep."

Seeing that the two were silent, Cen Xi shouted, "Xiao Chenchen, are you going?"

Pan Chen said: "I packed all my things..."

Cen Xi looked at the room: "Why don't Ah Suan go?"

Xu Qingning has already got up, but she is denying herself: "But Tiantian is your second sister-in-law again, will it be inconvenient? Or is it Xiaochenchen, you can pack up your things?"

Xu Qingning lifted the suitcase on the ground and said, "Let me go."

Pushing the suitcase outside, Xu Qingning looked at them: "Just sleep, it's not inconvenient."
