[Please answer 1988] Sangmundong scandal

In the study room early in the morning, there was no one there, and it was quiet.

Liu Mingxi opened the chair, put down the schoolbag, turned on the small lamp in front of the desk, and took out a thick file bag and a few pens from the bag.

Her submission to the magazine this month has not yet been sent out, and she has to proofread the first draft before the deadline at the end of the month.

Except for the tuition fee for the start of school, Liu Mingxi has not paid living expenses with her family for a long time. When she was a freshman, she basically relied on the manuscript fee given by the magazine and occasionally doing odd jobs to maintain her daily expenses.

On the whole, life is not too hard. After all, it is more like a kind of experience for her, and it is worthwhile to work hard.

Liu Mingxi contributed some short stories to magazines. In addition to the fixed magazines, she would also try to write some commentary articles and send them to newspapers.At the beginning, she ran into a lot of setbacks. Her comments were all sent back as sensitive political content. Later, she learned how to behave.

For these covert political/political comments, she usually writes one under a different name.Of course, I also changed the address when I sent it.

However, it's not about politics right now.Her main source of income, short stories, has not finished proofreading the first draft.

Handwriting is the most troublesome, every stroke has to be done carefully, but she is obsessive-compulsive, and she can't see a typo.

It took her a lot of time to proofread a [-]-word short story.Seeing that noon was approaching, Liu Mingxi didn't want to affect other people in the study room, so he made no noise as much as possible, put the unfinished first draft on the table into his bag, and left the study room with the bag on his back.

On the way home, Liu Mingxi also stopped by the vegetable market and bought some fresh seasonal vegetables. Before leaving, she thought about it and went back to buy some fruits and pork.

Today Liu's parents will go home early, and she has to prepare meals in advance before they get home.

Back in the alley, the gate of her house was locked.

It seems that Liu Donglong ran out to play again.

Helpless, Liu Mingxi had no choice but to open the door with the key, but she couldn't find the key after fumbling in the bag for a long time.

She seems to have forgotten to bring it out again...

Where is Liu Donglong usually? Liu Mingxi turned his attention to the neighbor's house next door, Aze's room...

"Nuna, warm water." Cui Ze carefully handed her a glass of warm water, "It shouldn't be hot."

"Thank you." Liu Mingxi took a sip from his hand, and it was just slightly hot, "I won't disturb you."

When Liu Mingxi came, Cui Zezheng was sitting there alone playing chess, if she hadn't called out his name, he might not have known that other people had come to the house.According to Liu Donglong, according to Cui Ze, it seems that Brother Zhihuan from the Tobacco and Wine House at the intersection of the Hutong called him away, and Cui Ze is not too clear about the specific reason.

Cui Ze quickly shook his head and smiled at her, "No, I won't bother you."

"Is the Chess Academy very busy? It seems that you have come home quite late recently."

"I'm going to compete abroad in a while, so I want to stay for a while." After all, the atmosphere in the Chess Academy is better. If he stays at home, he will be distracted occasionally.

"So," Liu Mingxi nodded, and saw a few dull hairs on Cui Ze's head, she habitually stretched out her hand to smooth it, "Are you still taking the medicine?"

Cui Ze was stunned by her actions, and subconsciously dodged back. He raised his hands to play with his hair, "Nuna, I'm not a child anymore."

Liu Mingxi blinked, looked at him and laughed suddenly, then pretended to be very serious, nodded and said, "Well, we, Ze, have grown up."

Cui Ze stared blankly at her, as if confirming the authenticity of her words.

"But," Liu Mingxi's eyes fell on the stupid hair on his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "This seems to be more messy."

Cui Ze, "..."

Liu Mingxi smiled slightly and stood up, "It's better not to take sleeping pills. Drinking some warm milk before going to bed every day can help you sleep."

"...Well." Cui Ze replied sullenly, he didn't know what was wrong, and felt an indescribable sense of frustration.

"... How about we have ramen for lunch?" Liu Mingxi walked to the door of the room and asked him sideways.

……

After finishing lunch, Cui Ze rushed to wash the dishes.

Once his stubborn temper came up, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, Liu Mingxi had no choice but to obey him, just in case she still deliberately stayed in the kitchen to watch.

"——touch" several times in a row.

Cui Ze, "..." I'm so angry, why can't I hold it!

Liu Mingxi had to be thankful that this bowl was unbreakable.

However, in other words, what will Cui Ze do in the future, he must learn to take care of himself, after all, no one can be with another person for a lifetime.

"Rinse off the foam on your hands first..." Liu Mingxi walked to him, turned on the kitchen faucet, and the water flowed out slowly. Seeing that Cui Ze was still in a daze, she simply took his hand and stretched it out to the faucet Next, "Wash your hands."

"Then I feel that my hands are not slippery, and then..."

Cui Ze looked at her side face and couldn't help smiling.

When he was young, people always said that he only needs to play chess well, and Cui Ze's father rarely let him touch family affairs. In Cui Ze's life, besides playing chess, he still plays chess.After a long time, everyone also acquiesced, and subconsciously chose to help him do it instead of trying to teach him to do it.

Only she is different.

Thank you.

"Okay, then wait for the water to drain and put it away. Do you know where the cupboard is?"

"Yeah." Cui Ze nodded with a smile, showing two rows of neat big white teeth, and his smile was extremely harmless.

Liu Mingxi also laughed, "Ah Ze, don't smile so cute outside."

"...Huh?" Cui Ze didn't quite understand what she meant.

"It's better that you don't know." Liu Mingxi deliberately kept it a secret.

"—Nuna, I'm home!" Liu Donglong's voice came from outside the door.

"Finally back. Aze, Nuna is going back first, you remember to put the bowl in the cabinet." Liu Mingxi did not forget to tell Cui Ze while packing his bag.

"Well, I see."

"I am leaving."

……

"Why are you only back now?"

"Brother Zhihuan asked me to go there, I just finished it now, Nuna, I'm hungry."

"Understood, there is still leftovers at home, let's cook rice later."

"Kimchi Fried Rice?!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

"——"

The voice of the conversation gradually faded away.

Cui Ze stood at the door for a while, and he didn't return to his bedroom until the two of them returned home completely.As soon as the door was pushed open, an apple was placed on the small table.

This is left by Liu Mingxi.

"Ah……"

He seemed to be feeling better again.
