salt by salt

Song Cheng and I had dinner, and there are still a lot of dishes left.He quickly packed it into the refrigerator, and I carefully packed the dishes.I accidentally touched the greasy edge with my fingertips, I frowned a little uncomfortablely, Song Cheng immediately took the plate from my hand, lowered his head and smiled at me: "I'll do it."

"Then I'll be here with you."

Letting Song Cheng do everything made me a little embarrassed, but standing by the kitchen and talking to him made me feel less idle.I chatted with him about previous Spring Festival Gala programs, and he quickly came out after washing his hands and kissed me on the cheek: "It's finished. What do you want to eat tomorrow morning?"

"I eat what you do."

He and I snuggled together on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala. There have been more and more singing and dancing shows in recent years. I yawned rather bored, and suddenly came up with an idea: "Song Cheng, let's dance?"

He froze for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "I don't know... I haven't learned it before."

"It's okay, ballroom dancing is not difficult, I'll teach you." The Xu family hired a teacher to teach us the dances we need for the dance. I'm pretty good at waltzing, so I held Song Cheng's hand and stood up, "I can do both male and female steps." Jump, which one do you want to jump?"

"Male steps..." He showed a shy smile, his long eyelashes flickering, "What should I do?"

"I'll look for music first, you move the dining table over there to make room." I said enthusiastically, "You have such a good figure, you must look good dancing."

The music like water was flowing in the small living room, I stretched out my hand to gently hold Song Cheng's hand, helped him correct his posture, and made our arms hug each other.When I raised my head, the height of my lips almost reached his lower jaw, and his height was very suitable for male steps.

I said softly, "Hold my back, and I'll put it on your shoulders. The basics are simple, don't worry if you can't learn it. And we're just jumping and playing, we don't need to think about footwork."

"Just follow my steps, and your body should not be faster than your steps."

I tried hard to recall how the teacher taught me back then, and slowly slid dance steps along with the music.Song Cheng followed my movements, he lowered his head and asked me, "Is that so?"

"Your face is too close, and it stands to reason that you should keep your head away—but it doesn't matter." I smiled and encouraged him, "To put it simply, I will advance and you will retreat, and you will advance and retreat. The movements should be softer, and you will dance close to me. The waltz is romantic, right?"

Song Cheng slightly moved the corner of his mouth and smiled, he looked deeply into my eyes: "Yes."

"You dance very well, much better than I imagined."

Song Cheng's movements are still a bit cramped, but I am very surprised to be able to keep up with the beat of the music. Sometimes he turns around with his arms around me, even giving me the feeling that he is familiar with male steps and is in a dominant position.I kissed him on the side of the cheek: "It seems that I am very talented as a teacher. If everyone can learn without a teacher like you, a lot of dance teachers will starve to death."

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he asked softly: "This music is so familiar, what is it?"

"Tchaikovsky's "Waltz of the Flowers" is the soundtrack to the dance of the Candy Fairy and the Fairies in the ballet "The Nutcracker". It sounds familiar to you, have you ever seen Tom and Jerry?" I said, "I like it very much. The episode where they skated was beautiful and funny."

Song Cheng nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder."

In this narrow space, we are close together, stepping on dance steps and spinning around. The lamp in the living room casts a soft halo on Song Cheng's outline, making his handsome face even more affectionate and gentle. In an instant, my heart beat faster, and I almost thought I was dancing with Cupid, and my heart was filled with joy as sticky and sweet as honey.A red rose on the dining table dropped a petal, and he and I jumped closer and closer, and at the end of the song, we stood in the middle of the open space and kissed tightly.

When I was separated from him, my heart suddenly throbbed, and I blurted out a sentence without careful consideration: "I love you."

After I said it, I was stunned for a while, but there is no reason to take back the water that was spilled when I said it.Song Cheng raised his hand to touch my face, his eyes were shallower than ordinary people, and they were clean and bright under the light.He whispered solemnly as promised: "Jun Yan, I love you too."

"I..." I still resisted the love in my heart, and wanted to say something to redeem my impulsive impulse, but the mobile phone in my coat pocket rang.

"I'll answer the phone." I got out of his arms, glanced at the call from Xu Yucheng, and suddenly had a bad feeling, "Hey, what's the matter?"

Xu Yucheng's voice was hurried, and he hung up the phone after scribbling a sentence, but it made me feel cold all over:

"Grandpa is angry, come back quickly!"

"I have an accident at home, so go back first."

I only had time to turn my head and say something to Song Cheng who was standing in the living room. I put on my coat and squatted down to change my shoes. I didn't even have time to pick up my scarf, so I rushed out with my mobile phone.

"Jun Yan, what's wrong?!"

When I ran down the stairs, Song Cheng stood at the door and asked blankly, I shook my head at him at the corner of the corridor: "Don't come out, I'll go first, I'll explain to you later."

After I finished speaking, I walked downstairs quickly, panicking in my heart-what happened?Mr. Xu is seldom angry, and only major events can make him angry.Could it be that Xu Yucheng's plan has been exposed now?No, then why did he call me to go back?I, a person who has no sense of existence in the Xu family, was notified that this matter was either serious enough to affect the fate of the Xu family as a whole, or it was related to me alone. Either way is not good news.

The cold wind cut my bare skin like a blunt knife.At this time, I didn't care about other things, rushed to the middle of the road and finally stopped a taxi, and the window was slapped as soon as I got in.I lowered the car window, and Song Cheng came out wearing only a hoodie. He said anxiously, "I'll be with you!"

I pulled hard on the car door from inside, barely suppressed my anxiety and said, "Go back, go to bed early at night, I have to go."

"No matter what it is, can't I go and face it with you?" He frowned and said, "Jun Yan, I..."

I was in a hurry, thinking to get to the main house quickly to avoid more accidents that I don't know about. At this time, I didn't want to continue the ridiculous role game, and I was full of panic and had nowhere to vent my anger.Song Cheng didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly. He was usually so understanding, but now he was in a stalemate with me. In desperation, I yelled: "Song Cheng, stop making trouble! This is mine. Housework!"

He stopped as if struck by lightning. I also felt that what I said just now was too much, but I don't know how to redeem it for a while.He took a few deep breaths, reached out and put the things in his hand through the car window, restrained his emotions and said softly to me: "Be careful."

"Song Cheng..."

This time it was my turn not knowing what to do, but he had already turned and walked away quickly.I knew I should get out of the car at this time and chase him back to explain clearly, but Xu Yucheng's text messages followed one after another, and the buzzing sound of the phone made me anxious, so I had no choice but to turn my head and report the address to the driver who was watching: "Hurry up, I will Will add money."

The driver obviously saw all kinds of farce. Seeing my bad face, he didn't speak sensibly, and drove the car very fast.I touched the thing that Song Cheng chased and sent over just now, it was soft, thick and warm, which made my heart throbbing.

That is a scarf.
