The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 74 The pretty, lovely woman who makes me blush~
When she got home, Lin Miaomiao found that the house was empty. Feeling bored, she picked up her schoolbag and went straight to Wu Xianyu's house. She sat with him to do her homework and pet the cat.

The homework was finished soon, and the two sat on the sofa watching TV, complaining from time to time. After watching for a while, Lin Miaomiao saw that it was getting dark, but she didn't hear Lin Dawei coming back. She was a little worried, so she picked up the phone and said to Wu Xianyu
"Xianyu, I'll go downstairs and wait for a while. It's getting dark now, why hasn't my dad come back yet?"

"Let's go together, and bring Yuwan and Laotie with you."

Since there was nothing to do, Wu Xianyu put on his slippers and walked downstairs with Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao untied the cats' leashes and let them run downstairs by themselves. She paced back and forth at the door of the unit, extremely worried. She had called several times, but no one answered.

"Look, is that your uncle?"

Wu Xianyu's voice suddenly sounded. He looked in the direction of the community gate. Lin Miaomiao suddenly raised her head and walked forward to take a closer look.

"Really? Why did you drink so much?"

The two of them hurriedly walked a few steps to support Lin Dawei. Lin Miaomiao smelled the alcohol on her father and couldn't help frowning.

"Dad, why did you drink so much?"

"Oh, it's okay, at least I'm not completely drunk."

Lin Miaomiao seemed to smell something different. She suddenly sniffed and sniffed carefully, then looked at Lin Dawei with a serious face.

"Dad, did you drink with a woman?"

As if he had sobered up, Lin Dawei looked at Lin Miaomiao, sweat on his forehead, and said with a bitter face:

"I can't help it. Real estate agents are a service industry. If I have a chance to close a deal today, I will definitely seize the opportunity. But Miaomiao, don't worry. I, your father, always come back sober and I definitely haven't done anything to let your mother down."

"You better be"

Lin Miaomiao was obviously very alert and kept staring at Lin Dawei, trying to find some evidence from him.

Wu Xianyu sighed silently in his heart. This is how it is in this industry. It’s okay for men, most of them just drink a few more glasses of wine, but it’s hard to say for women.

"Miao Miao, uncle is speaking clearly now, his mind must be clear, he probably hasn't done anything wrong. Take uncle upstairs first, I'll make him a cup of honey water."

Lin Dawei felt relieved. It was good to have someone to help speak for him.

Seeing that both of their owners had gone upstairs, Yuwan and Laotie didn’t dare to stay downstairs any longer. The scene of being yelled at by their mother when they were children was still vivid in their minds. The world outside was still a little dangerous.

Following him into Lin Miaomiao's home, the two cats were also very familiar. After all, Wang Shengnan sometimes found it troublesome to run back and forth, so she brought the two cats up to take care of them. Fortunately, the two cats were well-behaved and had not broken anything so far.

After drinking the honey water, Lin Dawei felt much better in his stomach. Just as he was about to get up, Wu Xianyu held him down.

"Uncle, please wait for a moment. Come back to your room after you finish using the toilet."

"Okay, I'll wait a while."

Lin Dawei is a soft-hearted person, so now that there is someone helping to take charge of the situation, all he has to do is listen.

Closing his eyes and leaning back on the sofa, Lin Dawei thought about his half-life. In the end, he had to work as a real estate agent. But there was nothing he could do. What about the family's food, clothing and daily necessities? He only hoped that Miaomiao could find a stable job in the future, at least she wouldn't be unemployed in middle age like himself, or marry into a better family and not have to worry about food and clothing.
Thinking of this, Lin Dawei suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Wu Xianyu who was playing with his mobile phone beside him, then looked up at the ceiling, thinking about something absent-mindedly.

Suddenly, he curled the corners of his mouth and stopped thinking about these trivial things. Sometimes he really needed to get drunk. At least he could think of things that he would never think of at other times.

After sitting at Lin Miaomiao's house for a while, until Lin Dawei was almost sober and went back to his room to fall asleep, Wu Xianyu prepared to go home.

Seeing that Lin Miaomiao was frowning, Wu Xianyu approached her and whispered
"If you're worried about your uncle, there's no need. As the saying goes, money is a man's courage. Although it's a bit cliché, it can also explain some problems. Your uncle has just lost his job and hasn't officially made any money from his new job yet. He won't have those problems for a while. If you're worried, wait for your aunt to come back and talk to her alone. The older generation has their own way of solving problems, so we should not interfere."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lin Miaomiao didn't bother herself with it anymore. After all, as a daughter, it was not easy for her to say anything about her father. After all, Lin Dawei was still in his prime, and it was not her turn to point fingers. She should let her mother do it. Lin Miaomiao still believed in Wang Shengnan's methods.

On Saturday morning, Lin Miaomiao came back from buying breakfast and saw that her old father had not woken up yet, so she put the breakfast directly on the table. Now that the weather was hot, the breakfast would not cool down for a while.

When I arrived at Wu Xianyu's house, I opened the door and saw him holding a guitar and singing to his two cats.

"Good morning meow, good afternoon meow, good night meow meow

Good morning meow, good afternoon meow, good night meow meow meow"

Seeing Lin Miaomiao coming, Wu Xianyu immediately stopped singing, pretended to pick up the water on the table and took a sip. He felt a little embarrassed as a grown man to sing this kind of song.

When the music stopped, Yuwan and Laotie meowed in dissatisfaction. Lin Miaomiao picked up the two cats and rubbed them in dissatisfaction.
"Your father has never sung such a sweet song to me, why are you still dissatisfied?"

Wu Xianyu felt a little hot, so he turned around and looked at the air conditioner. It was 26 degrees.

With a light cough, Wu Xianyu looked at Lin Miaomiao
"Why are you here so early today? Is uncle awake?"

"My dad hasn't woken up yet, so I left breakfast for him."

After saying that, Lin Miaomiao looked straight at Wu Xianyu, as if waiting for something. Wu Xianyu dodged the gaze and thought for a moment before speaking.

“Then I’ll sing a song for you too.”

Before Lin Miaomiao nodded, Wu Xianyu had already plucked the guitar, and then the song started
"I want to have a helicopter, I want to fly into the universe with you,
I want to melt with you, melt in the Milky Way,

I think about you every day, every day

This kind of sweetness makes me start to believe in fate, thank gravity for letting me meet you"

Lin Miaomiao naturally knew Jay Chou's song "Lovely Woman", but at this moment, the song gave her a completely different feeling. Her heart was pounding so loudly that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her chest.

Lin Miaomiao opened her big watery eyes and stared at Wu Xianyu without blinking.

As Wu Xianyu finished his deep breath, the lyrics clearly reached Lin Miaomiao's ears.

"A lovely woman who is so beautiful that it makes me blush."

A lovely woman who is gentle and makes me feel bad
The lovely woman who moved me with her transparency
The naughty and cute woman who drives me crazy"

Lin Miaomiao felt like she was going crazy. She felt like she would remember this moment for the rest of her life. Her head was dizzy, as if she was drunk, and her face was extremely red.

Burying her face in the bodies of the two cats, not daring to look up at Wu Xianyu, Lin Miaomiao only wished that time could stay at this moment forever, even if it was the high school of the previous life. This was not possible, so she decided to stay in the holiday. However, no matter how good the song was, time was limited. With the last line of Wu Xianyu's lyrics, the song officially ended.

Lin Miaomiao blushed and waved at Wu Xianyu

"Put your face here"

Raising his eyebrows, Wu Xianyu knew what she was going to do and would definitely not refuse.
"Boom"

Lin Miaomiao hugged Wu Xianyu's face and kissed him hard, but she still didn't make up her mind to kiss his lips. But Wu Xianyu was not in a hurry. It was his, and he couldn't escape.

After the kiss, Lin Miaomiao felt much better. She picked up the two cats again and turned on the TV.

With the sound of the TV, the two of them gradually calmed down.

After watching TV for a while, Lin Miaomiao felt that it was about time, so she looked at Wu Xianyu.

"What are we having for lunch?"

"Have you ever tried gluten cakes? I saw semi-finished products for sale in the supermarket before. If you want to try it, I'll make this today."

"I haven't tried it before. Is it delicious?"

Wu Xianyu thought about it for a while and gave Lin Miaomiao a brief description.

"It's just a thin layer of pancake, similar to the Peking duck wrap, but it's more transparent and tougher, not easy to break, and it's also eaten with vegetables. When the time comes, you can fry a few more dishes and wrap whatever you want to eat."

"Okay, let's eat this today. Shall we go buy some groceries now?"

"I'll go by myself. You go and look after uncle. If you wake up, bring uncle to dinner."

"Row"

The two of them had a clear division of labor. Wu Xianyu took his mobile phone and went straight to the vegetable market. He had already thought about what he wanted to buy. After buying what he wanted, he turned into the supermarket and bought some ingredients. Wu Xianyu went straight home.

There was no one at home, not even the cat. It was probably taken home by Lin Miaomiao. Wu Xianyu walked into the kitchen with the dishes and started cooking.

Because he and Lin Miaomiao had a meat meal yesterday and Lin Dawei drank too much, the meal today was a bit lighter, but there would definitely be plenty of meat, after all, Lin Miaomiao loves meat.

Shredded cucumbers, shredded carrots, stir-fried shredded potatoes, lettuce, shredded pork with fish flavor, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and some fried food. Anyway, Lin Miaomiao can't gain weight, so these are all her favorite foods.

The portion of each dish was not large, after all, there were many varieties. As soon as the dishes were served on the table, Wu Xianyu was still wondering whether he should go upstairs to take a look, when Lin Miaomiao came in with Lin Dawei.

Seeing the table full of dishes, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow", but she didn't rush to eat. She ran to the bathroom, washed her hands and sat on the chair.

When Lin Dawei saw this scene, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous. You know, this girl is not so self-conscious at home. She only washes her hands after being urged by a stick from behind.

Wu Xianyu first served Lin Dawei a bowl of longan, red dates and yam soup. After eating too much meat and fish, one should always eat something light to nourish the stomach.

Lin Dawei glanced at Wu Xianyu and thought that this kid was sensible. He really had no appetite for the time being, but this clear soup looked quite comfortable to him. He blew on it a little and took a sip. There was a faint sweetness. Lin Dawei thought it was because he drank too much yesterday and his tongue couldn't react for a while. He took another sip and found that it was just a soup with not too sweet taste.

As the saying goes, the best evaluation of dessert is that it is not too sweet. Wu Xianyu's soup has achieved this. Lin Dawei felt relieved. At least this guy is thoughtful.

In fact, it is also because Wu Xianyu himself is not a person who likes sweets. He must cook dishes and make soups according to his own habits. Besides, Wu Xianyu studied in Guangdong Province in his previous life. You know, Guangdong cuisine pays attention to the original flavor, so Wu Xianyu was more or less influenced by it.

After Wu Xianyu sat down, Lin Miaomiao took the tendon pancake and rolled it with a fried chicken fillet and sweet and sour pork tenderloin without being asked. She took a full bite and shook her feet excitedly. After a while, she finished the whole pancake. When she felt full, she had some shredded cucumber and carrot to clear her mouth.

Seeing his daughter eating so happily, Lin Dawei also felt an appetite, but he only rolled up some raw lettuce, cucumber shreds and potato shreds, and dipped them in a little sauce. Lin Dawei took a bite, and his mouth was full of the fragrance of lettuce. He felt that his churning stomach calmed down.

After eating two cakes, Lin Dawei stopped eating as he was old and couldn't digest too much. However, he drank a few more bowls of soup.

After finishing his meal first, Lin Dawei looked at his watch and realized it was getting late. He quickly stood up and said to the two children:

"You guys eat, I have something else to do, so I have to leave first."

Seeing this, Lin Miaomiao quickly swallowed what she had in her mouth and shouted to Lin Dawei from behind:
"Don't drink today."

“I don’t want to drink anymore”

Hearing Lin Dawei's voice, Lin Miaomiao felt relieved. After Lin Dawei left, Lin Miaomiao was not so restrained anymore. She picked up her phone and took a lot of pictures of the table where they were halfway through eating. She was probably going to show off to Mai Ju.

In the end, Lin Miaomiao ate a lot of vegetarian dishes, but the oily dishes were too greasy. Finally, Wu Xianyu put the unfinished dishes in the refrigerator. It was just right for eating noodles in the evening, so he kept them for dinner.
After dinner, Lin Miaomiao sat on the sofa and watched TV. She yawned countless times. Seeing her like this, Wu Xianyu couldn't help but speak.

"Why don't you take a nap on the sofa? I'll get you a small blanket."

"Okay, thank you for your help then."

Pinching Lin Miaomiao's nose, Wu Xianyu smiled and got up and went to his room, took a small quilt and covered Lin Miaomiao with it.

Lin Miaomiao smelled Wu Xianyu's scent on the quilt and couldn't help but take a few more breaths.

Lin Miaomiao picked up the two cats and placed them next to her. Listening to their hypnotic purring, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at Lin Miaomiao's sleeping face, her pink and fair face, a little baby fat, her lips slightly upturned, as if waiting for something, Wu Xianyu sat on the carpet under the sofa, feeling thirsty. He pursed his lips and used great willpower to control himself to turn his head. Wu Xianyu no longer looked at Lin Miaomiao, leaned on the sofa, and gradually fell asleep.

Feeling his nose a little itchy, Wu Xianyu opened his eyes and found that Lin Miaomiao was waving the tail of the fish ball in front of his nose. Seeing that Wu Xianyu woke up, she threw the fish ball to the ground and ran away a few steps like a frightened cat.

Yuwan lay on the carpet and stretched lazily, ignoring the flirting between his two owners.

Wu Xianyu stretched his body and realized that sleeping on the sofa was still uncomfortable. Seeing Lin Miaomiao running away, Wu Xianyu did not chase her. He went to the side to get a glass of water and drank it while talking.
"Are you childish? You are not a primary school student anymore. Who would run around with you at home for no reason?"

Lin Miaomiao felt bored and walked towards the sofa. However, when she passed Wu Xianyu, she suddenly felt someone hugging her around the waist. Wu Xianyu's voice came from behind.
"Hey, you believed me when I said I didn't want to play. I caught you, didn't I?"

"Ah! That doesn't count, it doesn't count, I came here on my own, let's start over again"

"Who wants to start over with you? You want to escape from my hands? Come back with me and be my wife."

"ah!!"
