I just want to be a good person

Chapter 196 The Last Dream
two hours later.

Familiar living room, familiar furnishings, familiar family photos.

Shen Wang sat on the familiar sofa, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

Nima, he never thought that Mi Jing would invite him to dinner at home.

Could it be that he is planning to give himself another wave of voluntary dedication?

But if you don't come, you seem to be cowardly again...

It was difficult to decide, but it was clear that in the end it was the man's dignity that prevailed.

Several dishes had been placed on the dining table at this time, and the faint scent wafted into his nostrils. Shen Wang suddenly thought that he had tasted the cooking skills of three women recently.

First Lin Xiaocao, then Ding Ya, and now Mi Jing.

Good guy, didn't you say that there are very few girls who can cook now?Why are all the exceptions I encounter?

But it's also true to think about it. These three people are obviously forced by their family circumstances to learn to take care of themselves early, and it is normal for them to be able to cook.

Zhu Yao, who has a good family background, does not know this skill, and is completely a player whose cooking skills are limited to instant noodles.

Shen Wang was thinking wildly, and Mi Jing also brought the last dish to the table.

Before she could open her mouth, Shen Wang took the initiative to come to the dining table, and tidied up the dishes on the table.

If you do n’t eat positively, you have problems with your thinking!
Shen Wang sat down on his own, but Mi Jing next to him was stunned.

Because Shen Wang's actions just now reminded her of the scene she had seen countless times.

In the past, every time my mother finished cooking, my father would always come over and play with it symbolically before eating...

Mi Jing didn't know if all men would do this, but at this moment, there was a warmth in her heart.

She took off her apron, ran to find a bottle of red wine and two goblets.

"Mr. Shen, can you have a drink with me?"

……

The heavy rain in Shanghai has no intention of stopping at all. The raindrops "crackling" on the windows are very noisy, but they can calm people's mood amidst the noise.

"Mr. Shen, thank you."

Before moving her chopsticks, Mi Jing raised her glass and said sincerely, "I don't know how to repay you...what I said before is still valid."

Mi Jing's meaning is very clear, that is, as long as you want, I can still be your lover at any time.

But Shen Wang shook his head.

"First, don't call me Mr. Shen from now on. It sounds awkward, just call me Shen Wang."

"Second, don't say the latter sentence again."

"do you understand?"

"...Understood." Mi Jing bit her lip and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Shen Wang raised his wine glass to touch her.

After taking a sip of wine, the two moved their chopsticks and started eating.

The dishes made by Mi Jing are in line with the characteristics of the local cuisine, elegant and refreshing, and retain the original flavor of the ingredients as much as possible.

Shen Wang has never been picky about his meals, so what he eats now can be regarded as delicious.

The two of them just ate and drank amidst the sound of the rain, occasionally chatting a few words, but most of them were Mi Jing talking and Shen Wang listening.

It was during this intermittent conversation that Shen Wang truly felt a person's most primitive thoughts and emotions for his deceased relative.

and that loneliness.

Maybe this is why Mi Jing is so obsessed with this house.

But it also shows that she has not really been able to get out of this predicament in life so far.

"Shen Wang... I often wonder why fate is so unfair to me, why it just takes my parents away from me so casually..."

Mi Jing's alcohol capacity is not good, Shen Wang is only slightly drunk now, but her drunkenness is already obvious.

"One of them is an ordinary middle school teacher, and the other is a small businessman who does his duty. He has never done anything bad in his life, but why..."

"Why do you leave me alone..."

Mi Jing's language became more and more confused, and Shen Wang just sat without speaking.

He was not good at comforting people, especially women.

What's more, Mi Jing probably heard words like "They just went to another world" and "You have to live a good life" many times, and they haven't changed anything.

It is even more impossible for Shen Wang to tell Mi Jing in a high-sounding manner - fate is inherently unfair, you have to learn to accept it.

So he just listened silently, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, listening to the sound of rain in Mi Jing's heart.
As time passed, the dishes on the table gradually cooled down, and the red wine had bottomed out.

And Mi Jing suddenly realized a problem at this time.

That is, this meal has been completely deviated from the track by myself.

Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to thank Shen Wang, but now it turns out that the whole process has turned into her complaining...

"I, I'm going to heat up some food."

Standing up in a panic, Mi Jing wanted to make amends quickly, at least to make Shen Wang full.

But she felt dizzy just as soon as she tried hard, and she managed to hold on to the table with her hands so that she barely fell down.

Seeing her like this, Shen Wang couldn't help but pull her back to the chair and sit down.

"I'll go get hot."

"No, no, I can..."

Mi Jing struggled and wanted to get up again, but Shen Wang pushed her back again.

"Come on, just sit down."

Not caring about Mi Jing anymore, Shen Wang directly picked up two dishes that were "you can eat after warming up" and turned to go to the kitchen.

Turn on the fire, turn on the range hood, stir-fry the cold dishes a few times, and while waiting, Shen looked out of the corner of his eye and saw some green onions, ginger and garlic left over from Mi Jing's cooking, and a small pot of bean sprouts.

He thought about it for a while, then simply rolled up his sleeves and prepared to make another hangover soup.

Anyway, today's meal is destined to be bad, so let's help others to the end.

……

Shen Wang had already started making soup by himself, but Mi Jing at the dining table had more energy than she wanted, and wanted to get up several times to help, but her body limply refused to obey orders.

Turning her head to look at the kitchen, from her angle, she could only vaguely see Shen Wang's back and the billowing steam.

Shen Wang's back is not considered tall, but it made Mi Jing feel inexplicably at ease, and her nervousness and regret also relaxed.

Gradually, her head lowered lower and lower until she lay on the table with her arms pillowed on her head and her eyes slowly closed.

In a trance, Mi Jing seemed to have a dream.

She dreamed of those two familiar figures, returning here, returning to their home, exactly the same as the scene she had recalled countless times...

The TV is on, and Dad is sitting on the sofa drinking beer and watching the football game...

Freshly washed clothes are hanging on the balcony, a gust of wind blows by, and the fragrance of washing powder is very pleasant...

Mom corrects homework in the room, and occasionally complains dissatisfiedly that some students are not serious enough...

Mi Jing greedily felt all this, and could no longer tell the difference between dreams and reality.

The sun outside the window was setting, and the familiar aroma was wafting in the kitchen again.

The woman brought trays of steaming food to the table, and the man just came over and fiddled with the bowl and chopsticks as usual.

"Baby, the rice is ready."

The two shouted with a smile, but they didn't sit down with Mi Jing until she sat down at the dining table.

Mi Jing opened her mouth in a panic, but found that she couldn't speak, and could only watch the two figures walk to the door.

"Squeak~"

The door opened, and a man and a woman stood side by side in the doorway, turning around.

They smiled and looked back at Mi Jing, whose face was already full of tears, with a very light and gentle tone.

"Baby, let's go."

"He misses us..."

"click"

The familiar figure disappeared, and the door was gently closed.

The scene in front of me gradually blurred, but there was a scent that lingered all the time.

Mi Jing opened her tear-filled eyes. First she saw Shen Wang looking at her seriously, and then she noticed a small bowl in front of her.

There is hot soup in the bowl, the soup is not too rich, there are a few shreds of green onion and ginger floating on it, and white and tender bean sprouts underneath.

Mi Jing was stunned, and finally found where the fragrance that always lingered in dreams and reality came from.

At this moment, all the defenses and strength in her heart were instantly defeated.
