house elf

Xie Ming staggered into the elevator and pressed the button on the 28th floor with trembling fingers.He raised his head, and his pale face was reflected on the mirror-like metal.

In this small and enclosed space, he briefly tore off the calmness he tried to pretend to be, and what was exposed was the fragility between the delicate eyebrows and eyes that seemed to be broken at the touch of a touch.There was still a little panic in his eyes, and the ultimatum-like words sounded in his ears again, "One month at most. If there is anything you can't let go of, make arrangements as soon as possible."

The elevator door opened with a "ding" sound, and the outside was as thick and oppressive as ink, except for a ghostly green glow at the foot of the wall, indicating the safe exit to the side.

Less than ten steps forward is the door of the house, but Xie Ming has been unable to take a step.The elevator door slowly covered his sight again, and also blocked all fear and unwillingness.

Xie Ming raised his head and closed his eyes, panting rapidly to suppress the screams buried deep in his chest, a little water glistened from the corners of his eyes.After all the negative emotions roared past his body, the only thing he thought of in the mess everywhere was what to do with Li Ao?

They have been married for ten years, they have never blushed, and their relationship is firm.What would Li Ao do if he died?

It was the pain of tearing the flesh from the body, could Li Ao bear it?

One month.

Maybe less than a month.

Xie Ming covered his face and took a deep breath, as if he could squeeze out all hesitation, reluctance, struggle and resentment from his heart.

He wants to make the last and most complete preparations for Li Ao!

Covering the numb face with his fingers, Xie Ming rubbed it vigorously, and pulled the corners of his lips facing the clean mirror.There was a faint blush on his cheeks, and there was still the smell of alcohol on his body when he attended the banquet. He didn't notice anything.

That's it.

Opening the elevator again, Xie Ming walked to the door of the house, and as usual, raised his hand and rang the doorbell.

The bell rang once, and before the tremor of the tail disappeared from the air, the door opened quickly, as if someone was guarding the other side.

Li Ao's face was dark, with pimples between his brows, he raised his wrist and showed his watch, "Look what time it is! You still know when you're back"

The man in front of him was wearing a ridiculous floral apron, with a lingering smell of fireworks. This familiar scene made Xie Ming collapse almost instantly.

Xie Ming was not as brave as he thought he was, and he could no longer hold on to his composure, so he took a step forward and hugged that generous shoulder.

Li Ao blinked, as if he couldn't believe that Xie Ming would approach him so proactively.

Since getting married ten years ago, Xie Ming couldn't get out of bed for three consecutive days, and a thin piece of family rules was nailed behind the bedroom door.Husband and wife are obliged to remember that it is clear, there are only three nights in a week and there is a limited supply every night!

It's been ten years!

Li Ao remembered very clearly the few times when he lifted the ban unscrupulously, because such good things can be counted on one hand!Xie Ming, who is self-disciplined to the extreme, never commits a crime once, even when he is drunk, he will point at Li Ao for violating the family rules in a daze of consciousness!

Li Ao picked him up, bowed his head and sniffed, "How much did you drink? Do you still remember your man?"

"Li Ao..." Xie Ming murmured endlessly with his eyes closed, which made Li Ao's eyes turn red.

"The hangover soup is gone, you did this on your own initiative! Don't turn your face away as soon as you wake up." Li Ao turned his face over and made up his mind about the joy of singing, and muttered with emotion, "How many years has it been, it can be counted as waiting for me." caught!"

Early the next morning, Li Ao got up early with a guilty conscience, looked at Xie Ming who was tossed all over his body on the bed, carefully pressed the corners of the quilt, and slipped into the kitchen to cook millet porridge.

Generally speaking, the difficulty of dealing with Xie Ming with a full stomach and Xie Ming with an empty stomach increases geometrically. The difference is about as big as kneeling on a keyboard to kneeling on a durian.

Li Ao stirred the porridge with a long-handled spoon in one hand, tilted his head and dialed the phone.

"Hello? Brother Li, do you have an order?" After the connection, the voice on the other end of the phone was very flattering.

"Who stood guard yesterday? Go ask." Li Ao stared at the golden bubbling millet porridge in the pot, and said softly.Although he likes the drunk Xie Ming very much, Li Ao is very upset to be so drunk for no reason.

"It was Xiao Huangmao last night, Brother Li, wait a moment, I'll ask right away!" The other side didn't dare to delay, and immediately followed suit, and there was an intermittent low beep from the phone.

Li Ao didn't hang up the phone, just waited. In less than a minute, there was a message on the other end of the phone.

"Brother Li, Xiao Huangmao said that last night was Kaihao's banquet, and when it was about to end, someone went 'over there', so he didn't dare to stay, for fear of being caught." The voice on the phone was cautious, for fear of getting angry Li Ao.

"Hmph," Li Ao responded in a nonchalant manner, "Next time I'll run like this again, it's just a matter of adding dishes to the table."

"It's definitely not going to happen. Brother Li, you know that we have been following for more than ten years, and we have never made such a big mistake."

"You pick a few bad (sui) people to stay in Kaihao for a while, break their fortunes and let them bleed." Li Ao put a lid on the pot, turned to a low heat and slowly boiled the porridge.

"Brother Li, what are you doing so much trouble for? Use the five ghosts to make money."

"The matter between people can't be explained clearly with five ghosts' luck. What's more," Li Ao raised his brows, so proud that "my wife can earn money!"

"That's that! Who wouldn't say that Brother Li has good eyesight?" Before he could say a few more compliments from the other side of the phone, there was a "beep" sound of disconnection, and the flattery choked back his throat.

There was a sound of getting dressed in the bedroom, and Li Ao hung up the phone in a hurry.Thinking about how miserable he was made before, his heart trembled.

Xie Ming didn't say anything when he was unhappy, and he didn't say anything when he was happy.Qing waited to pinch the pigtail and beat him to death.Li Ao cleaned up for him before, and he still has lingering fears, but his memory is still fresh.It has gotten better in the past few years, and they are usually caught on the spot and cleaned up on the spot, and never let the outstanding debts stay overnight.

In the bedroom, Xie Ming sat up from the bed with difficulty in his pajamas, and Li Ao was not beside him.But Xie Ming wanted to know that when she went to the kitchen, after ten years of marriage, Li Ao's method of coaxing people has always been the old third who doesn't change the soup or the medicine.

Serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with great hospitality, send the perfume lily all the way to gerbera, buy some chocolate to go to the cinema, and have a vulgar romance. coming.

But even if it is such a simple life that is boring to describe, he will no longer have it after a month.

Xie Ming lowered his eyelashes, and the thoughts that flashed through his mind last night were churning endlessly at this moment, spending half a month with Li Ao, and then leaving everything to himself, but life and death are life and death.

Li Ao poked in half of his head from outside the door, only a pair of eyes were exposed, "Are you awake? Millet porridge will have to wait a while"

"En." Xie Ming nodded calmly.

This should be?Not angry or losing your temper? !

Li Ao suddenly felt as if he was facing a big enemy, Xie Ming was probably going to hold back a big move!

"Let me tell you first, you were the one who hugged me last night! You hugged me so tightly that you couldn't shake it off like sticking to me!" That expression almost hugged his chest and called "You take the initiative! If you use force, you should be ashamed first."

"Well, I know." Xie Ming's eyes moved to Li Ao's face, and Li Ao shivered.

However, Li Ao still pretended to be stern, trying to maintain the majesty of the head of his family, and pointed his fingers, "It's good that you know!"

As soon as he turned around, Li Ao's expression immediately collapsed, with a look of despair of "the sky will kill me".According to his understanding of Xie Ming, this time it must not be settled easily.

I'm afraid that even if we make a full feast of Man and Han, we won't be able to save my Qing Dynasty.

When Xie Ming propped up his waist and sat neatly at the dining table, the yellow millet porridge that had already boiled until oily was placed in front of him, accompanied by a plate of small pickles and six small steamed buns.

It's all Xie Ming's favorite food.

Before he met Li Ao, Xie Ming's breakfast was coffee sandwiches. After ten years of marriage, as long as Li Ao was at home, he never stopped feeding for a day.

Xie Ming swallowed his porridge, and waited for the warm feeling to flow down his chest into his stomach before he said nonchalantly, "I don't have anything to do at work recently, I want to rest for half a month."

"Really?" Li Ao was so pleasantly surprised that he almost forgot what he did last night. When he realized that Xie Ming didn't go to work, this account might have to be settled for half a month, and his whole body was shocked.

"Then why aren't you going to sign a contract soon? Don't worry about it?" Li Ao secretly rubbed his hands, leaving at least three days for buffering.Don't be angry if you can't see it.

"There is a vice president in the company, and he will make a phone call if we are in doubt." Xie Ming lowered his eyes and stirred the porridge in the bowl, suppressing all the turbulent emotions, and then sighed shallowly, "Once you get married It’s the rising period of my career, I’ve always”

Sourness suddenly flooded his eyes.

As soon as he got married, he worked outside, and Li Ao stayed at home until he couldn't stand the boredom, so he ran out every month or two, saying that he was doing photography.But Li Ao doesn't like photography at all, if it wasn't for him not always being able to spare time, why would Li Ao be like this?

Others say that Li Ao's face is soft, but Li Ao is not annoyed, he always "knows how to find a wife, that's my skill", with a complacent look.

Between them, Li Ao has always been accommodating him.

Xie Ming thought that there was still time, a lot of time to make up for.Even when he went to the partner's banquet last night, he was still thinking that he could relax in the future, but the next moment, everything turned upside down.

"We have half a month's vacation this time, we can." Xie Ming cut off his unfinished words by drinking porridge, fearing that the emotion in his tone would arouse Li Ao's suspicion.

As soon as Li Ao's eyes lit up, his tail immediately turned up, "You have come to your senses. You have lost me for so many years! Tell me yourself, how do you settle this account?"

"You have the final say." Xie Ming lowered his brows and eyes, completely trusting and obeying.

Li Ao stood up with a "crush", and tore off the apron hanging around his neck.

"If you want me to say that you should have rested long ago!"

"My back hurts." Xie Ming continued to drink porridge, and Li Ao would not mess around after eating.

"Didn't you say that I have the final say?" Li Ao felt aggrieved, it was enough to squeeze his teeth last night, and it would be fine for him not to get out of bed for a month with his physical strength!

"Well, you have the final say, but my back hurts." After finishing the porridge, Xie Ming slowly took another bite of the steamed stuffed bun.
