smouldering

At 25:[-], Dong Yiqiu finished paying the bill, and the three of them got up and walked to the street to blow the cold wind.

Thinking that Tang Weiran lived the furthest away, Dong Yiqiu said that he would send her off with Le An, so that when she and Le An returned, they would not be afraid to walk at night again if they had company.

While walking, Tang Weiran suddenly remembered something, and clapped his palm vigorously, "Ah, I forgot to take the windbreaker again."

Le'an stuffed his hands into his pockets to keep warm, "If you're not in a hurry to wear them, I'll take them to the store tomorrow, and pick them up when you're free."

"I..." She was really not in a hurry to wear it, but Jingfu Hotel was known by Gan Yiming, she couldn't believe this hypocrite anymore, and she would definitely find a new place to live when she went back tonight. "[-]" is more or less a scenic spot. The surrounding hotels are either in poor conditions or the prices are too high. drop by.

Seeing her hesitation, Le An asked, "Are you in a hurry to wear it? How about I go back and get it now, and you guys wait for me here."

After she finished speaking, she was ready to leave, Tang Weiran hurriedly grabbed her, "It's okay, then you can take it to the store tomorrow, I will get it then."

Under Tang Weiran's repeated refusals, Dong Yiqiu and Le'an did not send them off. After she entered the room, she sent messages to the two respectively, saying that she had arrived safely.

When the news was received, the two were chatting, and they were too full to go home.Le An pulled Robusta out, hung the rope on his wrist, and walked along the sidewalk with street lights with Dong Yiqiu.

Dong Yiqiu said hello, went to bed early, and from the corner of his head, he saw that Le An hadn't finished typing, and there was another new message from the opposite side, and it seemed to be very long.

Her heart of gossip was ignited, and she threw herself on Le'an's back, "What did you say to you?"

Le An quickly put away the screen, "It's nothing."

In fact, it's really nothing, Tang Weiran just asked her a little more about her condition, and told her not to hang out with Dong Yiqiu, and go home early to rest if she is still sick.

The two of them had just walked out, so they went back soon after seeing the current situation. Her physical fitness is still good, and she wasn't so weak after being raised for a few days.So I went back to Tang Weiran very honestly, saying that I would accompany Sister Yiqiu for a walk, and take Robusta by the way.

Robusta can only be seen when he walks under the lamp post. Le An clicked the shutter on it on a whim, and took a black and yellow afterimage with extremely poor pixels, and sent it to Tang Weiran with a smile.

Dong Yiqiu, who had a panoramic view of everything at the side, stared badly at her, "Cough! Le An'an."

"Huh?" Le An put away the phone, obviously not going to chat with Dong Yiqiu about the characters on the phone.

Dong Yiqiu didn't go straight, she walked slowly with her hands behind her back, "Are you going back this year for the Chinese New Year?"

Robusta didn't know what he saw, so he rushed forward, and was dragged back by Le An as soon as he started, "I just passed by Yunteng."

"In Yunteng again, do you want to live together?"

"Together?" Le An stopped and looked at her.

Dong Yiqiu also stopped, she walked faster, turned around and took two steps to embrace Le'an's shoulders, "It's just you and me, there is no one else, but I must be going home, good girl."

"Oh..." Le An was thoughtful.

Dong Yiqiu squeezed her arms and pinched her neck, and said with a smirk, "Disappointed?"

Le An pushed her arm away, "...what?" But the tips of her ears blushed inexplicably.

Seeing her wandering eyes, Dong Yiqiu understood, she said: "Don't be too anxious. My dear girl, you understand."

The good girl Tang Weiran is trying to deviate from the norm.

After thinking about it, she felt that what Le An and Dong Yiqiu said were both reasonable, and it would be too risky to go it alone, so she submitted resumes to more than a dozen MCN organizations overnight, but by noon the next day, only two of them responded.

One said that the requirements did not match, and the other said that the qualifications were too high.

Unorthodox copy... Failed to load.

After the farce, she rarely had an appointment.In the afternoon, she tidied herself up a bit and set off for the art gallery in the city center.Since the last time I had dinner at home, Chen Junwei would send greetings every day. The tone and content were polite and decent, without crossing the line at all, but Tang Weiran was not in the mood recently.

Yesterday, Chen Junwei sent a message asking her to watch a movie. Before that, she actually declined once, which caused her mother to call directly, saying that it’s okay for young people to make more friends when they meet each other. Aunt Chen picked it up and cleaned it before sending it back. The implication is that the adults are old colleagues and neighbors for many years, so they can't take this face off.

Tang Weiran had no choice but to agree, thinking that she would take this opportunity to clarify with the other party so as not to delay each other, but she was really not in the mood to watch the two-hour movie.So it happened that the pottery exhibition was in the final stage of dismantling, and the owner of the DIY shop also called to urge her to pick up the pieces. She simply made an appointment with Chen Junwei in front of the art museum.

Chen Junwei stood in a straight suit at the entrance of the art museum, holding a bouquet of bright red roses in his arms, which was quite eye-catching in the dark gray and white intertwined buildings.

Tang Weiran saw it from across the road, and she paused, feeling the urge to leave this place immediately and break the appointment.

Chen Junwei also saw her and waved to her enthusiastically.

Tang Weiran bit the bullet and approached him, "Hello."

The other party didn't seem to see her embarrassment: "Wei Ran, this is for you, I hope you like it."

"..." Tang Weiran didn't want to pick it up, but he had no excuse to say that the roses were too heavy. The other party probably considered this problem, so he bought a lightweight bouquet with delicate and delicate packaging, "Thank you."

Chen Junwei took out the pre-purchased tickets from his inner pocket, "Then shall we go in?"

"Do you usually like to visit such exhibitions?" Chen Junwei accompanied her, not thinking about artworks.

Tang Weiran: "It's okay."

"I have a friend who is doing curatorial work. If there is news about new exhibitions in the future, I can let you know."

Tang Weiran's scalp was numb: "I seldom read it, and today I mainly come to pick up things."

Chen Junwei was very considerate, "Oh? Where can I get it? I'll go with you."

The two entered the mezzanine area, and it was the same boss who instructed her to pull the embryo that day. After checking the voucher, the boss took out a cardboard box from under the counter, opened the lid of the box and showed it to Tang Weiran for inspection.

Tang Weiran carefully took out her bamboo mug from the box. The glaze color was very good, very translucent and verdant. It was exactly what she imagined when kneading the clay. There was almost no difference. She was full of praise. "Boss, you are amazing."

The boss smiled, "You have a good foundation." As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced over Tang Weiran's shoulder to see the people behind, and waved her hand, "Le'an! Here, here!"

Tang Weiran couldn't help turning her head, and happened to meet Le An's eyes.

Le An approached slowly and stood next to the pottery boss.Probably because Tang Weiran was overly surprised when he saw Le An's expression, the boss looked back and forth between the two of them, "Do you know him?"

Le An introduced each other, "My college classmate, Qin Jing. Qin Jing, this is Sister Weiran."

"So I really know each other, sister Weiran." Qin Jing was very cheerful, saw the rose in her hand, and guessed naturally, "Are you here on a date with your boyfriend?"

"Hello, Chen Junwei." Chen Junwei stretched out his hand and shook Qin Jing. He was honest and didn't beat around the bush, "Not a boyfriend yet, but I hope he will be in the future." After speaking, he looked at Tang Weiran with a smile.

Tang Weiran looked down at the mug in his hand, as if he ignored the words.

Le An followed her gaze to look at the cup, and opened his mouth at the right time: "Did you make this? The shape is very beautiful."

Tang Weiran nodded, "Well, Boss Qin cooked it well."

Le An's eyes stopped on the bamboo cups, "Qin Jing's store is also in '[-]', but it's on East Street. I get all the cups in my store from her, and they do a good job."

Qin Jing smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I rented the space in the past two weeks because of the popularity of the exhibition, but it will be withdrawn tomorrow. Sister Weiran and Brother Junwei can come to Dongjie to visit me when they are free, and support the business by the way ha!"

"Definitely." Chen Junwei was very good at dealing with such a scene, said a few more polite words, and said goodbye: "Then we will leave today, we still have things to do."

He glanced sideways at Tang Weiran, "I've made a reservation for the restaurant, shall I go?"

Tang Weiran nodded after reading the mug and counting the petals of the roses.

The restaurant is a place with a lot of style and style, and the food presentation is exquisite. The more elaborate the ostentation, the more apologetic Tang Weiran feels.

Chen Junwei is indeed a reasonable person. Seeing Tang Weiran fidgeting, he took the initiative to ask. The two talked at the end and said they would send Tang Weiran home.

Tang Weiran declined. She stood on the side of the road and watched Chen Junwei's car drive away, then lowered her head and swipe the phone screen, hesitating whether to delete Chen Junwei, but thinking that he is such a temperamental person, he probably won't have any contact with him anymore. So I closed my phone and didn't do that impolite person.

It turns out that not all blind dates are like scourges, so it's good to say so.

But when she thought of her mother getting the news, there would be a series of fatal phone calls, and another call from the army, or from the school, she felt a headache.

The light on the sidewalk jumped to green, and the crowd on the same side passed her, one person leading a dog.

The wind blew past Tang Weiran's ankles, she lowered her head and pulled up the hem of her skirt, and a black ball came to her feet. Tang Weiran took a closer look and said in surprise, "Robusta?"

Le An approached a little closer, and saw that she had no bouquet in her hand, only a bag containing bamboo cups, "The date is over?"

Tang Weiran moved her lips, "..."

Le An bent down slightly to see her expression.

"I'll take Robusta to the hospital, do you want to go with me?"

"...um, okay."

It seems that this is not the first time for the doctor to see Robusta. She hugged Robusta, and Robusta rubbed against her enthusiastically, exhaling excitedly with her tongue out, without the fear of other children in the hospital. .

Tang Weiran asked Le'an, "Is Robusta uncomfortable?"

Le An shook his head, "No, come here regularly to get rid of bugs."

Tang Weiran felt relieved and watched the doctor operate.

The doctor fed the medicine, opened another medicine, and applied it bit by bit on Robusta's body. Robusta lay on her stomach obediently, with her head facing Tang Weiran, her body didn't move, but her tail was wagging happily.

The doctor smoothed Robusta's hair with a smile, and said to it in a coaxing tone, "I can't bear to look away, do you like Mom so much? Huh? Robusta is so good!"

The fake mother Tang Weiran looked back at Le'an in embarrassment, but she didn't see Le'an's figure. The fake mother could only smile and respond to the doctor, then grabbed Robusta's paw, and immersed herself in the family happiness for a while.

It didn't take long to get rid of the insects, but Robusta was obedient and quiet, and the treatment course ended quickly without making a fuss.

After listening to the doctor's instructions, Tang Weiran carried Robusta off the treatment table and pulled up its rope.

Le An seemed to have timed the door accurately and entered the door. For some reason, with one hand behind his back, he took the Robusta rope from Tang Weiran, and signaled with his eyes that Tang Weiran could leave, so he turned around. Tang Weiran's great curiosity was aroused by this mysterious movement.

Tang Weiran smiled and nodded with the doctor, then quickly followed out.

After walking out of the hospital gate, she caught up with Le An, and finally saw what Le An was holding.

A rose, without any packaging, but the thorns are all trimmed, and there are some dewdrops on the petals, it seems that it has just been sprayed with water.

"Hey." Le An handed over the flowers.

Tang Weiran had a question mark on his face, "What? Where did it come from?"

Le An tugged on Robusta's rope, looking at the road ahead, "The hospital gave it to Robusta for being good and completing the treatment. Uh, most, recently, they have organized activities. Probably, the hospital likes it very much. Those who engage in activities often do so.”

"Sent by the hospital?" Tang Weiran was even more confused, "Don't the hospital send some canned food, teething sticks, etc.?"

Le An said, "Who knows, I think it looks good. I have to carry something later, so you can carry it for me first."

Tang Weiran looked down, "It's...it's pretty. Huh? What else do you want to mention?"

The thing to mention was Robusta's rations, Le An turned a corner, and took Tang Weiran to the pet shop again.Tang Weiran seemed to be called out for maternal love by the doctor's misjudgment. In the pet shop, she couldn't hold back her love and picked two small toys for Robusta, plus a large jar of dog food bought by Le'an, and brought them together. It was so heavy that it almost killed two people.

So as soon as they put down their things, both of them fell on the sofa unwilling to move, and they didn't even bother to change their dirty shoes when they went out.

Le An went to work as a free porter for Qin Jing in the afternoon, and carried dog food in the evening. He was really tired.She raised her wrist and looked at her watch, "It's too late, are you going back tonight?"

Tang Weiran didn't react, "Huh?"

Le An pointed to the unoccupied room, "There is a folding bed in it, why don't you make it?"

"I..." Tang Weiran took out his phone from his handbag to check the time, unexpectedly it was really so late.

"Actually, I wanted to say it before," Le An looked at her, "It's not convenient for you to stay in a hotel all the time. My room is free anyway."

"My store manager is very nice, just say hello, and the rent is very affordable."

"Thank you."

Le'an paused, his expression suddenly lost.

Tang Weiran hesitated, "I...will think about it and give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Okay." Le'an relaxed slightly.
