The cold wind blowing in through the window made Ruan Qiuqiu shiver.
Her nose was itchy, and she almost sneezed, but Ruan Qiuqiu quickly covered her nose. She didn't want Cheng Jun to find out that she ordered takeout, so it was better to be careful. Thinking of this, Ruan Qiuqiu became more careful.
At this moment, Ruan Qiuqiu was completely unaware that from a few meters away, someone was staring at her with a death stare. She thought that she had not been exposed.
"Rumble …"
Her stomach growled. Ruan Qiuqiu swallowed her saliva and was already imagining the beautiful life of eating spicy noodles while watching soap operas.
She waited patiently for a while. The delivery guy downstairs hadn't shaken the rope yet, but the rope in her hand already felt something falling.
"…" That's weird. Is it better or not?
Ruan Qiuqiu pulled the rope in with one hand and pulled the window open halfway. The cold wind was instantly unobstructed and suddenly rushed in, almost blowing Ruan Qiuqiu into facial paralysis. She shrunk her neck and regretted that she didn't put on a jacket. While Cheng Jun was quiet, Ruan Qiuqiu sneakily peeked out of the window.
The delivery guy downstairs, Xiao Li, stood in the same place with a confused face. He was still struggling to decide whether to remind her or not.
He also had professional ethics. What if he didn't remind her and she lost her tip?
From Ruan Qiuqiu's angle, she could only see the delivery guy standing in the same place and looking up at Ruan Qiuqiu.
Ruan Qiuqiu made an OK gesture to him.
She tentatively pulled the rope and found that it was tied quite tightly, so Ruan Qiuqiu simply pulled it up step by step. Her movements were very slow, and she tried to maintain a vertical speed so that the takeout could successfully reach the destination.
Not to mention, it was quite heavy.
The next second, Ruan Qiuqiu was dumbfounded.
The takeout was stuck on the guardrail downstairs.
"…"
Ruan Qiuqiu's face turned red. She stretched out her arm and tried to pull the takeout. The takeout was quite heavy. Ruan Qiuqiu was so tired that she was sweating and her arm was slightly trembling. She was very depressed at the moment. Why was it so difficult to eat it all by herself?
The delivery guy suddenly rode away on a small car. In the dark night, a yellow figure ran very fast and disappeared in a few seconds.
Ruan Qiuqiu's phone rang. It was a phone call.
She was afraid that the phone would disturb Cheng Jun, so she quickly grabbed the rope with one hand and answered the phone with the other.
"Hello?"
Ruan Qiuqiu lowered her voice, "Don't worry, I'll send you a red packet later …"
"No, it's not about the red packet. I'm also a person with professional dignity." Xiao Li's voice was very calm. "Um … Ma 'am, out of conscience, I suggest you stick your head out and look at your east window. That's all I can help you with. Let's meet again if fate wills it. "
"Du du du …" The other party hung up the phone.
Ruan Qiuqiu: "???"
Puzzled, she stuck her head out of the window and looked at the window on the left.
Then …
It was as if there was a tacit understanding between the thousands of glances. The two of them looked at each other. Cheng Jun was standing in front of the window. She didn't know how long he had been staring at her. His gaze was faint, just like the awkward scene in the restaurant that day.
"…"
"…"
Ruan Qiuqiu was stunned.
She subconsciously loosened her grip and saw the heavy takeout box falling down along with the rope. Ruan Qiuqiu quickly came back to her senses and tried to save it. She stretched out her arm to grab the rope that was falling down quickly. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Ruan Qiuqiu watched the takeout box fall in a tragic manner and hit the lawn with a thud. The takeout box broke into pieces and the contents flowed out of the plastic bag.
Looking at this scene, Ruan Qiuqiu hugged her head helplessly and almost cried out loud.
Her takeout! Her money! Her crayfish!
Everything was gone!
Ten minutes later.
Ruan Qiuqiu was wrapped in a thick black down jacket and walked downstairs dejectedly. Cheng Jun followed behind her. Both of them didn't say anything along the way, which made Ruan Qiuqiu feel very awkward.
She turned on the flashlight and shone it on the lawn. She easily found the scene of the tragedy.
Cheng Jun was carrying an empty plastic bag and a roll of paper in his other hand. He was accompanying Ruan Qiuqiu to deal with the tragedy. Ruan Qiuqiu felt a little uneasy about letting the takeout box fall asleep. After all, this was a public place.
Ruan Qiuqiu was even more depressed. Who would throw 200 yuan worth of trash on the lawn!
Could she be more wasteful?
The two moved to the crayfish and squatted down, looking at each other in silence.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Ruan Qiuqiu joked, "I heard that you can still pick up the food after it falls on the ground for a few seconds. We've only been here for a few minutes. Can we do the same? Hahahaha."
Listening to Ruan Qiuqiu's words, Cheng Jun, who was squatting at the side, fell into deep thought.
He stared at the cold crayfish lying on the lawn. "…"
Ruan Qiuqiu said, "Stop, you can't eat it!"
Cheng Jun took the initiative to deal with the mess. He put on plastic gloves, collected the residue into a bag, and wiped it a few times with paper. Ruan Qiuqiu used the flashlight on her phone to illuminate him.
Cheng Jun didn't say a word the whole time. He picked up the oversized crayfish and remained silent.
Ruan Qiuqiu lowered her head. "I'm sorry."
He picked up the cold skewers again and remained silent.
Ruan Qiuqiu lowered her head even more. "I'm sorry."
If it was very embarrassing to be caught secretly ordering takeout, picking up the evidence of her eating alone in front of Ruan Qiuqiu was like a death by a thousand cuts on the spot. Ruan Qiuqiu almost burst into tears.
Oh god, she swore that she would never eat behind Cheng Jun's back again!
Ruan Qiuqiu asked dejectedly, "How did you find out that I ordered takeout?" She almost suspected that Cheng Jun had a nose like a howling celestial dog and could smell the food from thousands of miles away.
Cheng Jun was very calm. "I just happened to open the window for ventilation."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "…"
Her luck was really unparalleled.
In fact, Cheng Jun had been standing in front of the window in a daze. Before Ruan Qiuqiu fell asleep, he had been standing by the window, looking at the empty ground. It wasn't until he saw the figure of a delivery guy walking downstairs that Cheng Jun quietly opened the window. He saw that the window next door was cracked open and that someone was throwing "rope" down.
Ruan Qiuqiu sighed.
Her stomach growled, and Ruan Qiuqiu's face immediately turned red.
Cheng Jun stood up, carried a bag of garbage, and took the lead to walk forward. His cold voice came in the cold wind. "Let's go and make up for it."
Ruan Qiuqiu knew that she was in the wrong, so she could only pretend that she didn't hear it.
Cheng Jun's "make up for it" was really not.
The two of them sat in a room of a restaurant and ordered a table full of dishes. There were Ma Xiaos and barbecue. The color was attractive, and the smell was so fragrant that people couldn't help but drool. Ruan Qiuqiu didn't stand on ceremony with him and started to peel the red Ma Xiaos. Her mouth was full of oil, and she kept slurping the spicy food. After a while, her face turned red.
As she ate, Ruan Qiuqiu suddenly remembered the reason for the cold war today.
She asked gloomily, "What's wrong with you today? Why are you suddenly ignoring me? "
Hearing this, Cheng Jun stopped peeling the prawns for a moment. "It's my own fault. It has nothing to do with you. I'm sorry."
"What's wrong with you? What are you unhappy about? I'll help you adjust. "
Ruan Qiuqiu smiled and went up to him. "I'm definitely unhappy."
Cheng Jun said slowly, "Happier than eating alone."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "… You're still unhappy."
Cheng Jun didn't want to say anything, and Ruan Qiuqiu couldn't do anything about it. She simply stopped asking Cheng Jun and ate by herself. It was a harmonious scene.
Ruan Qiuqiu was full. She lay on the chair and didn't want to move.
She asked worriedly, "Will I get fat if I continue eating like this?"
Cheng Jun slowly explained, "Your basic metabolism is only about 1,200 kcal a day. If you don't exercise, your metabolic rate will be lower. At night, you also eat high oil, salt, and carbohydrates. Not only will you get fat, but also …"
"Do you want to die?" Ruan Qiuqiu interrupted him with a sneer. "Women only want to hear one sentence at this time: I will never get fat."
Cheng Jun, who was forced to shut up, thought that women only liked lies that were harmful to themselves.
Cheng Jun paid the bill, and Ruan Qiuqiu waited behind him with her hands in her pockets.
Their good looks attracted the attention of other people in the store. Even the cashier was very polite. She said that she would give them a 60% discount and even gave them a VIP card, hoping that they would come again next time.
Ruan Qiuqiu put on the hood of her down jacket and tried to cover half of her face. Fortunately, Cheng Jun moved quickly. After paying the bill, he left with Ruan Qiuqiu.
The sky outside was dark, and Ruan Qiuqiu was so cold that she shivered.
She followed Cheng Jun's footsteps towards her home. The two of them had only taken a few steps when suddenly a car sped by and almost hit the pedestrian area. Ruan Qiuqiu's eyes blurred. Before she had time to panic, she was pulled back by a strong force. She staggered a few steps to the side. Fortunately, Cheng Jun's movements were very steady, so she didn't fall awkwardly.
Then, she bumped into Cheng Jun.
Cheng Jun pressed Ruan Qiuqiu's head with one hand and asked, "Are you hurt?"
He lowered his head, and the distance between them suddenly shortened. Under the dim yellow light, his eyelashes trembled like crow's feathers. When he stared at Ruan Qiuqiu, his drooping eyes were not as careless as usual. His pupils were extremely dark, like the ink of the night. Ruan Qiuqiu couldn't see clearly the heavy emotions in his eyes.
She was not hurt. With Cheng Jun's fast reaction, they were still far away from the car.
Ruan Qiuqiu's slow nerves finally made her feel the lingering fear. Her small face was snow-white.
"It's nothing. Let's go home."
Cheng Jun grunted, but he didn't let go of her hand.
He took Ruan Qiuqiu's arm and walked towards their home. His footsteps were a little fast, so Ruan Qiuqiu couldn't help trotting along. Cheng Jun seemed to realize that she couldn't keep up. He deliberately slowed down his footsteps so that Ruan Qiuqiu could keep up.
Ruan Qiuqiu suddenly felt that Cheng Jun was quite charming when he was serious. At that moment, even she was a little dazed by his peerless beauty.
The two of them were silent along the way. Only the pitter-patter of their shoes on the ground could be heard. Ruan Qiuqiu didn't feel uncomfortable with her arm being pulled. She walked a few steps and whispered, "Thank you."
Although he was only her husband in name, Cheng Jun was still quite reliable.
Cheng Jun grunted lightly.
He was wearing a long black down jacket. He was tall and slender, leaving Ruan Qiuqiu with his usual lazy and careless side profile. It was as if he was indifferent to Ruan Qiuqiu's gratitude and had a cool aura.
Ruan Qiuqiu glanced at him, then glanced at him again.
"Well …"
Ruan Qiuqiu looked hesitant.
"Why are you walking with the same hands and feet?"
Cheng Jun: "…"
