three feet away

"It's ok. The style of the apartment you tossed about is similar to that of the apartment over there. It's simple, but not monotonous. It's a bit like a literary youth."

Zhang Qing leaned fiercely on the simple fabric sofa in the living room, looking at Xu Nuo put books, new or old, according to her own ideas on the bookshelf transformed from the TV wall. She's a real sweetheart.

"When do you plan to move in?"

"It will take a while, the house has just been renovated for less than two months," Xu Nuo bent down to open another cardboard box under his feet, took two steps back, frowned and thought about how to arrange the remaining books, and then re-opened Back to the original position: "When it's her birthday, move in, as a birthday present for her."

Saying so, Xu promised to put the book in his hand on the shelf, and looked back at Zhang Qing: "What do you think?"

Zhang Qing shrugged, pursed her mouth, spread her hands and said, "I'm afraid, no woman would think that giving a house for her birthday is not a good thing, right?" She raised her eyebrows, stood up on the sofa, Walking around the coffee table and walking to the balcony of the living room, he leaned half on the guardrail and looked down: "However, you have just been back for a year, how did you find this house? Not only is it close to Yan Ruyi's company, but there are also schools and hospitals nearby. As expected He is a great translator who has returned from studying abroad, so the house cost a lot, right?"

The exaggerated expression on Zhang Qing's face made Xu Nuo couldn't help laughing: "It's not a big villa, besides, it's a second-hand house."

"What's the matter with the second-hand house?" Zhang Qing didn't take it seriously: "I know this neighborhood. When my family bought a house for me, Xiao Huang and I also visited here. It was only built a few years ago. I know the surrounding environment. I have some understanding, so I said that you can really pick, you have a good eye, and you are lucky. When I first set my sights on this place, I liked the spatial design and orientation of this house. You are amazing."

After hearing this, Xu Nuo just smiled and didn't speak.After she and Yan Ruyi were confirmed, she began to prepare her birthday present this year. For so many years, she has never had the opportunity to spend her birthday with her seriously, although she is currently unable to give her a complete partner that is recognized by society in China. relationship, but she wants to try her best to give her a warm home.

It took her nearly three months to find this house by chance. It was not too big, around a hundred square meters, but for now, it was enough for her to get along with Yan Ru once.Buying a house and decorating almost used up all the savings she saved from working part-time and writing travel magazine articles while studying abroad in the past few years, and translation work after returning to China, but she was extremely happy when the money in the account was transferred, For a long time, what she expected was simply a warm and peaceful life as a commoner. She was looking forward to seeing Yan Ruyi walk into the door, receive the key and become the hostess. Thinking about such a scene, she felt happy.

There was no response, Zhang Qing turned back and walked back to the living room, looked at a person smiling brightly and promised, squinted his eyes and joked, "Oh, I thought someone else didn't hear me clearly, look Come on, you didn't listen to me at all, this woman in love really fell into a honey jar."

After hearing Zhang Qing's words, Xu Nuo's ears felt hot. She cleared her throat with a cough, and deliberately changed the topic: "I haven't seen Xiao Huang for a long time. When you have time, let's have a meal together."

"Tsk tsk tsk," Zhang Qing shook his head and lay back on the sofa, rolling his eyes and looking at Xu Nuo with a smirk all over his face, "I didn't hear you say before that we're going to get together after a long time. The teacher's charm is boundless, and what has nourished you in the past few months is not only obvious on your face, but also your heart has changed a lot."

Xu Nuo felt a little embarrassed by her naked molesting eyes, followed her example and clicked his lips, raised his eyebrows: "You don't have a check on your mouth all day long, you will be thirty soon, Why do you open your mouth so much?"

"Oh, I just opened my mouth and came here?" Zhang Qing sighed with her mouth pursed, "I haven't said that you are full of sex~ you are full of happiness, why did you come here after opening your mouth for so long?" Deliberately emphasizing the word sex and lengthening the syllable, Zhang Qing got up with a smirk and walked to Xu Nuo, bumped her arm with his shoulder, and asked in a mysterious whisper in her ear: "How is it? Are you not heading north?"

Xu Nuo's face was a little burned by Zhang Qing's straightforward question, she pretended to be natural and glared at her: "You old driver and old hooligan, why do you ask everything?"

"Hey, I don't like to hear that." Zhang Qing clapped his hands, and smiled casually: "This common saying is good, when you are full of warmth and lust, food, sex and sex are indispensable, how did it fall to you? Is it a hooligan? You have spent the past few years in France for nothing, such a romantic country, you have stayed for four years, how come you haven’t learned anything about openness?”

"...." Xu Nuo's face was full of black lines, and he responded speechlessly.

"Tell me~" There was no response, and Zhang Qing didn't care at all to carry her talkative image to the end, she smiled evilly and winked at Xu Nuo: "Xu Meimei, you are so beautiful, when you were in college When I was young, I was often chased by people. When I was abroad, I really didn’t talk about a little brother or sister? Are you single all the time?"

"Where are we going to talk?" Xu Nuo was helpless, lamenting in his heart that he couldn't escape Zhang Qing's gossip today: "When I first went out, I was busy adapting, and when I got used to it, I was busy improving, so I didn't have time to think about it."

"Hey, look at this man who says he's like a bitter cauliflower, I don't believe it, no matter how fast foreigners are working and studying, it's not time for children to run around, no matter how busy they are, kiss and make love There must be some, anyway, it’s only half an hour or so.”

The more and more naked words hit my ears, Xu Nuo really had no ears to listen to, so he took the book he was about to put on the shelf and knocked on Zhang Qing: "You man! Why are you talking about everything?"

"Hey, why are you still interested in beating people?" Seeing Xu Nuo blushing like a red light at an intersection, Zhang Qing clutched his stomach and couldn't help laughing, while hiding the book in Xu Nuo's hand, he squeezed her: "Hey, I asked You, you won’t, until now, you’re still a baby, right?”

The book in his hand stopped in the air, Xu Nuo swallowed in embarrassment, and replied weakly: "What's the matter with you? You need to ask Xiao Huang to clean you up."

Xu Nuo's reaction undoubtedly gave Zhang Qing a very definite answer. She widened her eyes and asked incredulously, "My God, are you really a chick?"

"..." Can't get around this topic?Xu Nuo was speechless and choked, blushing and staring at Zhang Qing without speaking.

"Wow." Zhang Qing walked around Xu Nuo twice as if looking at a rare animal, touching his chin and said in an incredible tone: "Xu Nuo, you are 28 this year, right?"

"..."

"At 28, you're still a...at...? My god, you said you have such a lovely face, what's the use?"

Zhang Qing's heartbroken expression made Xu Nuo very depressed. Who, who stipulated that if you fall in love, you must not, not a... so what? What's wrong with 28, what's wrong with 28... It's just that the more I think about it, why do I feel a little bit lacking in confidence?strangeness....

"You have been with Teacher Yan for so long, and you haven't..." Zhang Qing rubbed his chin and pretended to be deeply probing: "No, I think you look peachy now, and you don't look like an ascetic."

Really deprived of hearing Zhang Qing's words, Xu Nuo picked up the book and knocked on her again: "Shut your head, stop!"

"Oh! I see, it's not abstinence, it's you who have succeeded in everything, but no one has touched you, right?"

"..."

"Looks like I guessed it right?" Mao bent her waist and tilted her head to study the expression on Xu Nuo's monkey's buttocks. Zhang Qing smiled and deliberately teased her: "Can you do it, Xu Nuo, you are so beautiful in vain What's the matter with the golden ratio of the face and the figure, it's useless to Teacher Yan?"

Xu Nuo felt that if she heard Zhang Qing continue, she would be pissed off: "...can you shut up?"

"Hey, sister, isn't she worried about your lifelong sexual happiness? Why is your child ignorant of happiness in the midst of blessings?" Zhang Qing was serious.

"I want you to take care of it!" Xu Nuo awkwardly turned to the side, pointing to the cardboard box at the door: "Go, bring the box at the door here? I asked you to help, not to gossip!"

"Yes!" Zhang Qing rubbed his chin, smirked and didn't say another word. For a reserved person like Xu Nuo, this is almost the end of the story. make!"

Although Zhang Qing didn't speak anymore, Xu Nuo still felt awkward. On the way home, she carefully counted the time she spent with Yan Ruyi, and after thinking about it more carefully, it seemed that Yan Ruyi really didn't treat her that much. Kind of...interest?She didn't seem to take the initiative to come over?

But obviously, the two of them are very compatible in that matter, right?Every time she can feel that Yan Ruyi is really happy, but why is she not interested in herself...?

Driving back to the apartment, Xu Nuo shook his head, secretly annoyed that Zhang Qing's dirty theories had been filling his head all the way, and it was all his fault for his bad mouth, what was wrong, why did he have to ask this? !Xiao Huang must have not dealt with her for too long, it must be like this!She is itchy!Next time you eat, be sure to ask her how long it has been since she was beaten!But Yan Ruyi...why?

Yan Ruyi walked over from the side passage, saw Xu Nuo parked the car by the flower bed downstairs of the apartment building, looked back and forth, but saw no one obstructing the parking, stepped forward suspiciously, bent down to knock on her car door, but Seeing the man in the driver's seat gritted his teeth with a bitter expression on his face, he raised his fingers and knocked on the car window strangely: "Promise?"

Yan Ruyi's voice outside the car window came in and was absorbed by the glass, making it look a bit dull. Xu Nuo was taken aback, and turned his head suddenly to see Yan Ruyi, suddenly feeling panicked as if he had been caught planning a small plan. Although he didn't do anything, he still Your eyes widened: "Huh? Ru, Ruyi, are you off work?"

"Yeah." Yan Ru nodded and gestured for her to open the car door with her eyes.

Xu Nuo smiled at her guiltily, opened the car door and got out of the car, walked quickly to the back seat with red ears and opened the door: "I just went to buy some food, let's have a small hot pot tonight."

"Okay." Yan Ruyi pursed her lips, squinted slightly to see Xu Nuo's guilty expression, and waited for her to take all her things out of the car and help her close the door and lock the car before slowly asking: "What are you thinking?"

"Uh... oh, nothing, hehe."

"Nothing?" Yan Ruyi raised his eyebrows, looked up and down and promised.

"Yeah!" Xu Nuo nodded heavily, as if this would make him more confident: "It's nothing, I just want to eat hot pot, be happy!"

"...." Yan Ruyi pursed her lips, and let her go without saying anything.Helped her to share some things in her hands and went upstairs with her to go home. According to her understanding of the promise, she couldn't hide things from herself. What's the matter? She should be like a child. reported.

It's just that what Yan Ruyi didn't expect was that what the child couldn't hide this time turned out to be so embarrassing...
