Ode to Joy clearly loves you

The cake war was coming to an end, some people began to clean up the 'battlefield', and all the participants needed to be cleaned, and others moved to the back garden one after another.

Andy and Ming Zhen didn't rush to leave, but let the others go first, and Ming Zhen secretly asked someone to get a dress with a certain number for him to deliver to someone.

Ming Zhen took her to the restaurant inside.

There are a lot of photos everywhere in the Ming family, they are all old photos.

Andy is very interested in the memory of this kind of family, so he couldn't help picking up a photo frame. It was a single photo. The man in the photo was handsome and bright, very young, with a slightly sly smile and a kind of suave style in old Shanghai. Brother Gongzi smells good, but his eyes are as clean as water and warm as light, making people unable to help but look more often.

"This is today's birthday boy." Ming Zhen told her, "Ming Tai, the young master of the Ming family who has read poetry and books and has extraordinary skills."

Andy couldn't help turning his eyes, "No wonder your brothers are so rich."

Ming Zhen gave her another photo.

Andy put down the one in his hand, took the one she handed over, glanced at it and said "Zhao, Dr. Zhao?" He looked up at her.

"No, his name is Ming Cheng, my great-uncle and grand-uncle, he is the second in the family." Ming Zhen smiled, "Now I understand why I seem to be a little special to Zhao Qiping, I was surprised when I first saw him." But no Show it "but after contact, you will know that they just look alike."

"It's too similar." Andy really thinks that people are wonderful existences. "Qu Xiaoxiao must have screamed when she saw this."

Mrs. Claire came over, "Min." She came over with a brand new suit.

"For Dad?" Ming Zhen looked at the blue-gray suit, "Well, Mommy has a good eye and looks good."

"You'd better send it to Tan Zongming by yourself, what a ghost, he cut off the gown you sent someone." Mrs. Clare saw it: Really, I don't care if I wear it well or not, I just want to play tricks .

"The second brother used everything that our elder brother couldn't do." Ming Zhen was really powerless, and took the brand new suit, "It's better for Mommy, then I'll go; Mommy, please greet Andy for me." okay?"

"Okay." Mrs. Claire patted her daughter's cheek, "Come out quickly, and have a good talk with me. Why are you still so thin? What did you say during the video call? You can eat and cook, and you are not a little bit Meat; don't think that skinny looks good like a bamboo pole, a woman should have a little curve, which is good for the body and more attractive."

"Oh." Ming Zhen nodded anxiously, "Mommy, we'll talk about it later."

Mrs. Claire sighed, "Go ahead, but don't waste your lipstick, your father is not satisfied with Tan Zongming yet."

Ming Zhen stuck out her tongue, looked at Andy again, took her suit and walked away quickly.

Andy told her not to worry.

"Miss Andy." Mrs. Claire was very kind. "What are you looking at?"

"Old photos." Andy put down the photo frame in his hand, "I didn't expect there are so many old photos here."

Mrs. Clare walked up to her, "This is one of the reasons why I like the Ming family. The Ming family has an unwritten rule that they have to take a family portrait every year, so every year no matter how far everyone travels or where they are in the world, they all have to be together. Getting together, I like that."

"Do you have to take a family portrait every year?" Andy was really envious.

Mrs. Claire picked up a larger photo frame, "Yes, it is said that it started with my father-in-law's father. He and his wife had been separated for ten years and lived apart. After reuniting, they took a family portrait every year on his wife's birthday. Unfortunately, at that time today The old birthday stars are in China again, and they don’t always get together, but they still keep this rule.” Passed the photo frame in his hand to Andy, “It’s the one wearing glasses in this photo.”

Andy took it, and lowered her head to see: this, this, she felt that Mingyao's facial features were very similar to someone she was familiar with, and now she realized that it was Old Tan, but not exactly like it, what Mingyao most resembled was in the old photos This noble man, and the woman next to this man is also five or six points similar to Ming Zhen. , also fell here."

"Yes." Claire is not very familiar with them, but knows that her father-in-law Mingrui admires them very much, "But I believe that Mr. Tan has his own unique charm that makes Min fall in love with him. The similar appearance is just a coincidence and opportunity; It is very clear that she has a very rational side. If Mr. Tan hadn't fascinated her, she would not have let him know about herself. I was really surprised. When I came back to see Min this time, I found that she had really changed. It's very different, it feels completely different, and it's my sunny and lovely daughter again, in this regard, I have a very good impression of Mr Tan."

Andy knew that Mrs. Clare wanted to find out about Lao Tan from her side, "Old Tan is really nice. As his friend for more than ten years, I don't know how to describe his strengths except for the word 'good'. Please forgive me. Words are lacking, because I thought about it and found that all kinds of words can't express my understanding of him, only the word "good" can cover everything; of course, I can't make the most fair evaluation of all of him, but do As mutual best friends, I really think they are who each other wants to be."

"My daughter's eyes are full of happiness, and her whole body is filled with this kind of happiness." Mrs. Claire can see it. "When she appeared in front of us with Mr. Tan on her arm, I really liked the smile on her face. The smile I didn't see, as her mother, I am really grateful for everything Mr. Tan has done."

Andy watched the kind and kind mother express her concern for her daughter and her joy after her daughter's change.

"Miss Andy, they should still need some time. You haven't been here before, come on, I'll take you to the garden." Claire offered the invitation, "It is said that when the old house was taken back, the back garden of this place was almost deserted. Now after Yu’s design, it’s really good.” She wanted to have a good talk with Andy about Tan Zongming.

"Okay." Andy accepted the invitation. She looked down from the balcony just now and found that the garden is very good. It not only retains the neat symmetry of western gardening, but also uses plants and trees to express the lines of Chinese auspicious clouds and outline the circular lawn in the middle. , the grass on the lawn is not monochrome, but shades and shades, like yin and yang, but it does not simply copy the yin and yang diagram, but expresses it in a more fashionable way, which makes people look amazing from the balcony; the design of the back garden The fusion of Chinese and Western styles is in line with the old Shanghai style of this old house, and it also has a fashion sense and practicality that keep pace with the times, which shows the designer's intentions.

……

Ming Zhen knocked on the door and entered the guest room.

There is only one guest room, and the room is not too big, but it has its own bathroom. After taking back the old house, although the structure of the house has not been changed, in order to better live in, it was completely redesigned and remodeled two years ago.

Tan Zongming has already washed up. He is the worst, so he has to wash it. Although Yu'robbed the suit she sent, but other things did not. He was wearing a dark bathrobe and was wiping it with a white towel. With wet hair, it was thrown away after a few wipes.

"How can you do this?" Ming Zhen saw him like this, "It's not cold, but it's easy to get damp and evil in the body when it's hot." Putting down his suit, he took out the hair dryer with familiarity, and pulled him to sit by the bed "What should I do if I have a headache, really, I don't pay attention at all." Standing beside him, blowing off his wet head.

Tan Zongming smiled and let her move, reaching out to hug the person who was blowing his hair, "Isn't it your attention now?"

Ming Zhen held the hair dryer in one hand, and stroked his hair with the other, "I'm sorry, you said that."

"What?" Tan Zongming asked back.

"Shouldn't I let Andy come?" Ming Zhen sighed, "But I'm afraid that if you come alone, they will embarrass you even more. They don't dare to mess around with my female friends; Andy Very smart, will she notice something? Will she be embarrassed? Also, although I still mind that you were tempted by her, I disdain this small trick to destroy the friendship between you, because I I also like Andy as a friend." After talking about it, she felt that she was trying to cover up, and angrily thumped him lightly, "It's all you, who made me into someone."

"You are born with scheming, and it has nothing to do with me." He didn't take the blame, pretending to have a pained expression, "But I like your cunning and scheming for me."

Ming Zhen stopped talking and concentrated on drying his hair, then turned off the hair dryer, "Let's change clothes, there will be a buffet at noon, and there will be an open-air dance party, and we will go to the conference hall in the evening, where there are more people, and we have to take family photos .” Bow your head.

Tan Zongming raised his head.

The two looked at each other, and Tan Zongming hugged her.

Ming Zhen leaned over and kissed him on the lips, but then let go, "My father and brother are here, and my mother said that the lipstick should not be worn out; although it was miserable, it was a good start because of the misery, at least they If you want to fix you, please understand their reluctance to object but cannot."

"Choose a day in September and come with me to see my mother, but don't worry, I don't have many relatives." Tan Zongming also understood that now is not the time to be lingering, but he still said softly to her, "Meeting the parents of both parties is also an unwritten relationship." It's an agreement, it will be even more difficult for you to leave me when the time comes." Now that I have seen Ming Zhen's parents, it's time to take her back to see her mother.

"I also feel very wronged." Ming Zhen still stood and let him hug him, and after hearing what he said, she also hugged him into her arms, "Zong Ming, I dare not tell you that during the conversation with Andy on Friday, I I just realized that you were so angry at that time, because it was me, and I was also angry, because of Andy’s self-pity, it’s not that Uncle Qi is bad, but I’m very angry that Andy is so (underestimated)..."

Tan Zongming let go suddenly, raised his head and hands, and wiped off the color on her lips with his thumb.

Ming Zhen was unprepared and was startled, the next second she was pressed on the bed in the guest room.

Tan Zongming looked at her condescendingly, and wiped off the thin light red on her lips with his thumb again, "Don't mess with your lipstick, I will repaint it for you later." What moved his heart was not that she put herself in Andy's shoes Thinking about it, but she really understands and understands her own heart. It is not his love for Andy, but a friendship out of sympathy. The eavesdropping is still displeased, but not now, she completely understands herself, and this is what moved him the most.

"Can you draw?" Ming Zhen's eyes sparkle, "Who did you learn from? Who did you draw for?"

Tan Zongming bowed his head, "No, it can be learned, only for you, only for you to draw."

Lips to lips.

Ming Zhen raised her head slightly, kissed him on the lips first, and then backed away a little, "It's enough to have a confidant in life..." Both hands suddenly blocked his desire to kiss, "Are you really not afraid? Because it's a confidant, I will understand you and understand you, but because I am a confidant, I may misunderstand you and hurt you; because I am your confidant, and I am a little woman who only has your selfishness in my eyes and heart." Can sense the soft words in each other's breath.

"Shut up!" Tan Zongming said viciously, pulled away her blocking hand, and kissed that provocative and intoxicating little mouth: I don't want to think about anything now, I just want to kiss this cunning confidant and lover .
