Double Life: My whole world is you

It was not until more than an hour later when Zhang Yandi came out with soup that Cheng's mother came into the room and woke Cheng Qiao up. Cheng Qiao opened her eyes hazily, "Mom, is it daybreak yet?"

"Silly child, it's getting dark." Cheng's mother said softly, "Hurry up and get up to eat. Xiaodi is cooking today."

Cheng Qiao saw Zhang Yandi in the living room rushing to the bathroom a little embarrassedly, and then came out with a smile after a simple wash. The four of them gathered at the four corners of the dining table, and Cheng Qiao looked at the dishes on the table, a braised pork, cola chicken wings, fried clams with green onions, fried squid with peppers, stewed meat with carrots, a dish of green vegetables and crabs, and a pork rib soup.

Cheng Qiao poured yogurt for everyone, stood up and said, "Thank you for your hard work in repairing the horseshoe this afternoon, and Yan Di, for making such a sumptuous dinner. Haha, all of them are my favorites."

"Sister, I like to eat it too." Cheng Zhu also said quickly, "Brother Xiaodi is the best."

After taking a sip of yogurt, Zhang Yandi said, "What a coincidence! I have to go back early tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow?" Cheng Qiao was a little disappointed. "The day after tomorrow is your birthday. I want to spend the whole birthday with you."

"I'm sorry, my dad only managed to get a train ticket for tomorrow morning." Zhang Yandi consoled them, "I'll spend your birthday with you next year."

"Okay." Cheng Qiao nodded, turned around and smiled and asked, "Yan Di, what time is your train ticket tomorrow? My brother and I will take you there."

"We have to rush to the train station at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. The train ticket is at 7:15." Zhang Yandi said, "I think we have to leave at 6 o'clock. You don't have to see me off."

"When will you come back?" Cheng Qiao continued to ask reluctantly.

"My dad bought the ticket for the seventh day of the Lunar New Year." Zhang Yandi said, "What a coincidence. You can relax these few days and finish your winter vacation homework. When I come back, we will discuss the next stage of study."

"Okay, I still have a lot of homework for the winter break." Cheng Qiao said with a smile, "I've been reviewing and working lately, and I've barely done anything."

"Then you have to work harder. Even if the teacher doesn't check, I will."

The four of them ate slowly and chatted happily. The meal took nearly two hours, and in the end only the soup was hot. Cheng Zhu asked, "Mom, have we eaten the New Year's Eve dinner?"

"Okay!" Cheng Qiao stood up, "I'll take care of today's dishes, you guys take a break."

"Oh, sister, I forgot to pack food for Aunt." Cheng Zhu stood up. Cheng Qiao had no choice but to heat up the food for him, and he picked up the thermos bucket and hurried out.

"Auntie, what a coincidence. I'll go back and pack my things first." Zhang Yandi stood up and went back to him.

Cheng Qiao was thinking about what gift to give Zhang Yandi while washing the dishes, and finally decided to draw a sketch for him. So after washing the dishes, she quickly went out and bought two sheets of sketch paper from the stationery store.

When she got home, Chengzhu brought back another bag of water chestnuts. He said, "Sis, you need to help out tonight. My eldest cousin has been helping my aunt after get off work."

"Sorry, I'm not free tonight." Cheng Qiao said and went to the room, closed the door, sat inside alone and started painting.

"Mom, what is my sister doing?" Cheng Zhu asked.

Cheng's mother shook her head. "She must be busy. Let's fix it!"

Cheng Qiao didn't come out until two or three hours later. It was already half past ten. Cheng Zhu had gone to pick up Cheng's mother but she hadn't come back yet. Cheng's mother was sitting in the living room knitting shoes. Cheng Qiao sat down next to Cheng's mother and said, "Mom, I've thought about it. We promised to give Uncle Zhang one thousand yuan in interest every year. Yan Di is leaving tomorrow, so we can't give it to Uncle Zhang. Let's give it to Yan Di today."

Cheng's mother didn't say anything. After hesitating for a while, she returned the red envelope that Cheng Qiao had handed to her and said, "Go ahead."

Cheng Qiao took the red envelope and stood up. After hesitating for a moment, she began to knock on the door. Zhang Yandi opened the door in his pajamas. Seeing Cheng Qiao showing her white teeth, he said, "Qiao, it's so late, is there something wrong?"

"Yan Di, sorry to disturb your rest."

"No problem, come in and sit for a while?" Zhang Yandi turned sideways. Cheng Qiao followed him into the living room, and they sat down on the sofa in the living room. However, Zhang Yandi did not close the door, and the two of them sat one seat apart.

Cheng Qiao took out a red envelope and handed it to him, "Yan Di, this is this year's interest. I was going to give it to Uncle Zhang in person, but you left in a hurry, so I guess it's too late. Please give it to him on our behalf, and apologize and thank him on our behalf."

Zhang Yandi looked at the red envelope, hesitated for a while, and finally accepted it with a smile. He just advised again, "Okay, I'll accept it for my dad. Don't feel any psychological burden about the 50,000 yuan."

"Okay." Cheng Qiao nodded, but told herself in her heart that she must pay it back as soon as possible.

"Give yourself a break in these ten days and don't be too tired." Zhang Yandi looked at her with her head down and finally suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and said, "The future is still long."

"Okay, I know what I'm doing." Cheng Qiao smiled and raised her head. She took out the sketch from behind and handed it to him, "Yan Di, it's your birthday the day after tomorrow. I can't spend it with you. This is a gift for you. I hope you like it."

After Zhang Yandi took it, he opened the scroll and looked at it. It was a handsome sketch. In it, he was looking at the sky with his face sideways. Six words were floating in the sky - the sky of seventeen years old.

Zhang Yandi looked at the painting quietly, and the tenderness in his eyes could not be hidden. When he looked at Cheng Qiao again, he could no longer control himself. He took a step forward and said in a very low voice, "It's great to have you in my world at the age of seventeen."

Cheng Qiao's face flushed, she lowered her head and dared not look at him, she was also afraid that she could not hide the feelings in her heart. The two of them were in this ambiguous atmosphere, no one spoke, only the sound of each other's heartbeats.

"Mom." Cheng Zhu's voice came at this time.

Cheng Qiao came back to her senses and quickly stood up, "Yan Di, you have to get up early tomorrow, you should go to bed early."

"Okay." Zhang Yandi also stood up and saw her out.

Cheng Qiao saw Cheng Zhu bringing back another bag of horse hooves. She pouted, and Cheng Zhu smiled and greeted Zhang Yandi when he saw him, "Brother Xiaodi, are you still awake?"

"We have to get up early tomorrow and get ready for bed." Zhang Yandi said to the two of them before closing the door, "Good night."

"Good night." They both said with a smile.

Cheng's mother looked at the horseshoe that Cheng Zhu brought back and felt unhappy. She couldn't help but complain, "Zhu, you didn't rest today. You kept repairing it. It's already so late tonight. Give it back to your aunt."

"Mom, there's nothing we can do about it. My aunt is very busy during the New Year holidays." Cheng Zhu said, "My eldest cousin is also there to help as soon as she gets off work."

Cheng Qiao frowned and sighed, guessing that he would have to deal with horse hooves again for the next few days.

But when he was repairing it, Cheng Qiao suddenly remembered that it was vacation time and he wanted to go back to see his grandmother.
