Qin Keyi

Chapter 8 Gentle Sugar Water
Boss Lu took a piece of roasted corn and gnawed it with great relish, without any pretensions of the boss.Qin Keke has always felt that she is unreliable, but now she realizes that someone is even more unreliable than her.She felt that the new boss was a little too friendly.

The more Lu Qin looked at Qin Keke, the more she liked this girl, thinking that her son had finally opened up.It was not a coincidence that she admitted Qin Keke, it was personally recommended by her son.At first, she thought she might be some kind of vixen again, but after some conversation, she unexpectedly fell in love with this girl surnamed Qin.

In order to be qualified for the job of manga editor, Qin Keke spends three hours studying every night.

On the fourth day of work, her aunt visited. When she was at work, she lay on the table and was tossed by her aunt so weakly that she looked like rotten meat stuck to the table.

She lay on the stomach for a whole morning, the pain was so painful that she had the urge to commit seppuku.

Near noon, the colleague in the next seat patted her on the shoulder.Seeing her pale face, the colleague was startled, and asked her, "You... are you okay?"

She shook her head, "It's just dysmenorrhea, I can't die."

The colleague poured her a cup of hot water and said to her, "Mother Lu asked you to go to her office."

What are you doing in her office at noon?
Due to the edict issued by her immediate superior, she had no choice but to obey.I had no choice but to drink some hot water to warm my stomach, and then I dragged my heavy body to President Lu's office.

Qin Keke clutched her belly and knocked on the door. Lu Qin was opening a big red lacquered food box, "Come in."

She went in clutching her lower abdomen, Lu Qin saw that her face was not good, so she hurriedly got up and helped her sit down: "What's wrong with you? Are you on your body?"

Lu Qin raised her hand to cover her forehead, and shook her hand again. The girl's hand was as cold as ice.

Qin Keke lay on the sofa, trying to act normal: "Boss Lu is looking for me, what's the matter?"

Lu Qin quickly mixed a glass of brown sugar water for her, "Your child is like this, why didn't you tell me? Most of the company's female employees have menstrual leave."

Qin Keke said: "I'm fine, so I don't need to ask for leave. Besides, I'm a newcomer and I still have a lot to learn. How can I ask for leave?"

"Don't be brave, I didn't ask you to come here because of work." With the tip of her chin, she pointed to the food box on the desk, "My son made it himself, you eat it with me."

She quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I'll go to the cafeteria to eat by myself."

Lu Qin took the food box, took out a plate of braised pork, a plate of sweet and sour pork, and a bowl of sauerkraut soup with vermicelli, and put them in front of her: "It's all home-cooked food made by my son, try it." She handed it to Qin Keke. A pair of silver chopsticks.

She is flattered by the enthusiasm of the new boss.

She couldn't refuse, so she picked up a chopstick of braised pork and tasted it.The soft and glutinous braised pork melted on the tip of her tongue, and the familiar taste made her startled.

It's actually... the taste of sugar water?

During her meal break, Lu Qin sent a text message to her son, asking him to buy some medicine.

Tang Simiao was reading documents in the office when he received the text message.He originally wanted his assistant to buy it, but he was always worried about entrusting others to do this kind of thing, so he ran downstairs by himself, drove to a nearby pharmacy and bought some boxes of painkillers for her.

He carefully asked the doctor how to eat, left the pharmacy, passed by the supermarket and bought a pack of sanitary napkins for her.

It's always good to be prepared.

Qin Keke ate a few mouthfuls of food, but couldn't bear the toss of menstruation, curled up on the boss's sofa, his face was as pale as paper.

When Tang Simiao pushed the door in with a plastic bag, she thought it was because she was in too much pain and had hallucinations.When Tang Simiao approached, squatted down beside her, and put his warm palm on her forehead, she really felt it, not a hallucination.

It's really sugar water, it's really blind Tang.

"How long has she been like this?" Tang Simiao turned to ask her mother while removing the medicine.

Tang Ma poured a cup of hot water for him, handed it to him, and replied, "It's probably all morning."

Tang Simiao took the water glass from his mother, fiddled with the medicine pills in his palm with his fingers, and made sure the quantity was all right, then handed the water and pills to Qin Keke, "Come on, get up and take the medicine."

His gentle voice hit her cheek.She turned her face away, the corners of her eyes were moist, and her voice was hoarse: "Don't eat."

"Don't lose your temper, be obedient." His voice was slightly angry.

Qin Keke looked at him and held his mouth, almost crying.She was wronged, wronged in her heart, and wanted to beat him, but she couldn't use any strength in her hands.

Tang Simiao turned her head, "Mom, help me help her up."

Hearing him calling Mrs. Lu's mother, Qin Keke was stunned.It turned out that the excellent and capable son Mr. Lu talked about was Tang Shui.No wonder, no wonder she felt familiar.So from the beginning, Mr. Lu treated her well because of Tang Shui?
The tenderness of Tang Shui made her crumble.

He carefully fed her medicine, and all the grievances in her heart disappeared.

After feeding her the medicine, Tang Simiao felt worried when she saw that she hadn't improved.He simply picked her up from the sofa, carried her downstairs, and drove her to the hospital for examination.

They arrived at the hospital 15 minutes later. After the examination, Qin Keke was forced to be hospitalized.

She felt that Tangshui made a lot of fuss, so she lay on the hospital bed and tugged at his sleeves and said, "I'm just an ordinary aunt who is in pain and hospitalized... This is too big a fuss."

Tang Simiao peeled a banana for her and handed it to her with a gentle voice: "Don't worry, listen to what the doctor has to say. Don't worry, the medical expenses and hospitalization expenses will be paid to me."

She pursed her lips and nodded heavily, trying to ask him something, but she couldn't say it now.She was so afraid that if she asked those words, she would break up with Tang Shui completely.So the current ambiguous relationship is quite good.Neither of them made it clear, but Qin Ke may feel that he has her in his heart.Even if you take her as a friend, it should be the best kind.

The ward was fully furnished, and Abo Qin brought food to the hospital according to Tang Simiao's instructions.He walked into the ward with a red lacquered wooden food box, and when he saw Qin Keke lying on the bed, he immediately smiled.

Look, what did he say?What the young master said was really farting. He once vowed to break up with this girl, but now it seems that he still can't let go.

Qin Abo put down the food box and left.The lid with bronzing patterns on the food box was half opened, and the aroma of the food filled the air, making her salivate so seductive.

She looked at the food box and poked the sugar water sitting by the bed reading the newspaper with her finger, "I'm hungry."

A ray of golden sunlight was projected on Tang Shui's handsome side face, reflecting this man so beautifully that it was unreal.Tang Simiao nodded and asked her, "Is there anything better?"

Qin Keke nodded, she didn't understand why her body was so uncomfortable, it was just dysmenorrhea.

Tang Simiao took out a bowl of porridge from the food box, stirred it with a spoon, and cooled it carefully.

While feeding her porridge, he nagged softly: "Your body is your own, why don't you take good care of it? The doctor said that your dysmenorrhea is caused by your irregular diet. Also, the doctor said that your stomach also has serious problems. , I'm not here, you just toss yourself like this, is it worthwhile?"

Qin Keke pouted her lower lip, a little depressed.

Tang Simiao's heart softened, and he sighed: "Okay, the doctor said that the problem is not serious, and it will be fine if you take good care of it in the future."

He fed her one mouthful at a time, the porridge was bland, but she felt it was as sweet as honey.

"Why is there no meat?" Qin Keke stretched his neck and glanced into the food box, "Why is there only porridge."

"The doctor told me to eat light food for this meeting." Tang Simiao explained.

"But I don't like meat." Qin Keke talked, "I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and I'm so hungry."

Holding the bowl, Tang Simiao glanced at her waist, and said, "Want to eat meat? Use your hands to pinch your waist."

Qin Keke was very obedient and squeezed her waist.Uh... Could it be that you eat too much instant noodles?Why have you become fat instead of thin during this period of time?

At this time, she kind of wants to eat sweet potatoes.She looked at him, "I want to eat sweet potatoes, can you buy them for me?" She paused, and then added: "If you buy sweet potatoes for me, the relationship between the two of us will be evened, and I will forgive you for leaving without saying goodbye. Forgive you for giving me flowers that other girls don't want."

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled, got up and rubbed her head, his voice was low and gentle, "Okay, wait for me." He walked to the door and turned to her and said, "Actually, in the past two months, I I went for surgery and it's been successful so far."

Qin Keke was confused by his sudden explanation, so he left without saying goodbye to go for surgery?I didn't tell her, because I didn't want her to worry?

Tang Simiao didn't know why he told her this.After coming out of the ward, he met Qin Abo in the corridor. He stopped the old man and said, "Last time when I was in Guzhen, I told you that I wanted to break up with Ke Ke... just treat me as a fart, and pretend that I never said anything." Pass."

Abo Qin nodded heavily, "I thought you were farting." He said with a chuckle, "I watched you grow up, so I don't know what you think? Miss Qin is a good person, and Madam likes him very much .”

Tang Simiao nodded, walked into the elevator and went downstairs to buy sweet potatoes for Qin Keke.

Not long after, Tang Simiao bought six roasted sweet potatoes and put them all in Qin Keke's arms.She was also not polite at all, peeled off the crispy skin, and ate the delicious sweet potato meat in the sweet potato crispy skin.

She ate six of them in one go, and her hands were covered in sticky objects.After eating and drinking enough, he burped and wiped his clean white shirt with his hand.On Tang Simiao's white shirt, there were two shit-yellow palm prints of hers.

Qin Keke looked proud, raised her nose and said, "It's a punishment for you. We'll get even in the future, so don't be angry! We're still... as before, I... I don't think you're the second generation of rich people!" She Said cheekily.

Tang Simiao pursed his lips, shook his head and laughed at her.He pulled a tissue, held her hand in the palm of his hand, wiped it carefully, and said, "Don't be angry, if you like it, I will wipe your hands on all my white shirts from now on."

"You...don't dislike me as a poor friend?" Qin Keke secretly looked at him.

"If I really dislike you, why don't I just ignore you and just wipe your hands here?" Tang Simiao said.

Qin Keke was immediately elated, "Then, can we be like before again? Will you come back to my place? The rent you gave me can last half a year, no, you can still live for a year."

"I won't go back. We work next to each other. In the future, we will have opportunities to meet each other upstairs and downstairs," he said.

After serving her dinner, Tang Simiao went to the doctor to ask about the situation.Only after this question did I know that Qin Keke's stomach problem is a bit serious.The doctor's suggestion was to take home diet therapy, but Tang Simiao felt that it would be better for her to stay in the hospital for a few days, so that she would feel oppressed and take care of her body.

Hospitalization is very painful for her, especially living in a ward alone without anyone to talk to.

Tang Shui began to record her hospital expenses in front of her, and muttered while recording: "Well, I did a rough calculation. The cost of advanced wards and nursing staff is sporadic and totals [-]."

Is it really good to be so preoccupied?She gnawed on a baked sweet potato and looked at him.

Taking a step back, she didn't ask to live in a high-end ward, nor did she ask for a nurse!She glanced at him unhappily, and muttered, "Okay, I'll check out of the ward right away and go home."

"The money has already been paid and cannot be refunded." Tang Simiao stretched out his hand and pressed her shoulder, "Lie down with peace of mind, and when your body recovers, you don't have to pay back the money. If you don't take good care of yourself and go to the hospital, then the next This time I will join this time and get the money back together.”

With food in her mouth, she said vaguely, "Hao, can I make a promise with my body and sell myself to you?"

"Come talk to me after you recover your health. Is it worth buying you now? I'll wait for your health to increase and we'll discuss it later." Tang Simiao raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said, "Lie down first, I'll take care of you." There is a meeting at three o'clock, and I will come to see you after get off work in the evening."

After Tang Simiao left, she sat on the bed and read a book alone.No one would knock on the door, she didn't have many friends in Xiachuan, could it be Mo Shaoqing and Liuliu?

She thought it was impossible, Mo Shaoqing took Liuliu to England two days ago, it was impossible to come back so soon.Who will knock at the door?
"Come in." She stuffed a few comics into the quilt and stared at the door intently.

Tang Ma pushed open the door, and walked in with a big bouquet of flowers with a smile on her face: "Xiao Ke, are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's much better." When she saw Boss Lu, she straightened her back and sat up straight, then stroked her messy hair, "Lu...Boss Lu."

"Call me Lu Ma or Auntie. I don't mind if you call me Ma directly." Tang Ma put the flowers aside and sat down on the stool.She asked: "When did you and my family, A Miao, meet? How did you meet?"

Qin Keke didn't expect her to ask this all the time. To the kind and amiable Tang Ma, she had no choice but to tell the truth: "We have known each other since we rented together before."

Tang Ma asked in surprise, "Have you ever lived together?"

"No, no, Mr. Lu, you misunderstood. It's not cohabitation, it's co-renting." Qin Keke hurriedly explained, lest she misunderstand.

Tang Ma's face was relaxed, she was already happy, and asked again: "Are you together?"

"No, no, how can I be worthy of him. He dislikes me, dislikes me for being fat, dislikes me for being poor, dislikes me for being stupid..." she said.

Tang's mother took her hand and defended her son, "A Miao is my son. I understand that he is always duplicity. I have never seen him praise any girl, let alone pick any girl. Fault. He didn’t pick you well, which means you are unique in his heart. Ke Ke, my child had eye disease since he was a child. For a long, long time, he couldn’t see. He has a restrained personality, and it is inevitable to have a weird temper. I can see that he likes you very much. Take a look, can you give him a chance?" She paused and added, "Don't worry, he is now The surgery has already been done, and the eye has recovered very successfully, the doctor said, it will recover after a period of time.”

"Mr. Lu, actually I..." Qin Keke sighed, "I think you misunderstood me, so he wouldn't like me. I never disliked him for having eye problems. I liked him and didn't care if he was blind or not. As early as Two months ago, I confessed my love to him, but he...not only did not respond, but also ran away without saying a word." She buried her head very low, her nose sore, "Be selfish, I wish he was blind .”

"Why is that? How can a girl like a disabled person?" Tang's mother was surprised.

"He is disabled, so I can take care of him as best as I can, and I won't be so inferior in front of him." Her voice became softer, "Am I being too selfish? Maybe it's because I'm selfish that he doesn't like me. , he always knew what I was. I was mean, selfish, flamboyant and sometimes not even a girl.”

Tang's mother patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Good boy, let's not talk about this for now. You are living alone in the hospital, are you bored?"

This question touched her heart, she nodded: "It's quite boring, people are almost bored like braised pork."

Tang's mother asked her: "Do you like braised pork? My family's Miao likes to cook this dish the most. He loves cooking, you love to eat, and you are a match made in heaven. You like my family's A Miao, and I decide to choose an auspicious day." Make your marriage a date, and then find an auspicious day to get married. You young people like romance, and the wedding will be at the beach. Then you go to the Maldives for your honeymoon, with two babies in one year and three in two years. I know, you guys These young people don't like to take care of children, I can help you take care of them."

Qin Keke was dumbfounded, only feeling a thunderbolt pass across his skull.What is this with?Why is the progress bar so fast?She and Tang Simiao haven't said anything yet, isn't Mama Tang's imagination too rich?

"Mr. Lu, thank you for your appreciation. But Tang Shui and I are really not the kind of relationship you imagined. He is worried about me only because he regards me as a friend. After all, we have lived together for so long, and we still have friendship."

Tang's mother didn't take it seriously: "Oh, don't I understand my son?" She paused, and then said: "I know you are in a hurry to work, but I'm afraid you can't go to the company like you are now. It just so happens that I have It's an urgent matter, waiting to be dealt with, you help me, I will still pay you, how about it?"

"I won't make it difficult for you, this matter is very simple for you." Tang Ma was very kind.

She felt that Tang Ma would not embarrass her, so she simply nodded and agreed: "Okay, as long as I can do it. Although I am not rich, I am not poor enough to help others and collect money. The money is fine."

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.The other party is Tangshui's own mother, who loves the house and loves Wu, and she is willing to go through fire and water for the one she loves.

"Then it's a deal! I'll go through the discharge procedures for you right away." Tang Ma just did what she said, ordered someone to complete the discharge procedures for her, and drove her back to her home.

Tang Ma personally drove her off, which flattered her.Along the way, she stared at the back of Tang Ma's head in a daze, guessing what Tang Ma would ask her to do.She was very afraid that Tang's mother would be disappointed, after all, they had only known each other for a few days, and no one knew the other.

Tang Ma looked friendly on the surface, but her amiability was only aimed at Qin Keke.On the surface, Mama Tang is kind and easy to bully, but in her heart she is more alert than anyone else.She has investigated Qin Keke's background thoroughly, including her relationship with her son, she knows it all.

It is precisely because of this that she asked Qin Keke for help.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Nanshan Xingwan Villa Area.The car passed through a large ginkgo forest, bypassed a rockery, and stopped in front of a European-style building.

Their car will approach, and the electric door of the villa will automatically open.Qin Keke leaned on the car window and looked out. European-style buildings came into view. Fountain pools and plaster sculptures formed a magnificent European-style oil painting.

After she got out of the car, she looked around and sighed.

Seeing her in a daze, Tang's mother bumped her with her elbow, "Come on, Ke Ke, take my arm."

"En." Qin Keke was very obedient, and walked into the building holding Tang Ma's arm.

Going around the porch and walking into the hall, a dozen pairs of eyes shot at her like machine guns.There were quite a few nannies in the Tang family, and they all stood in a row when the hostess came back.

Seeing that she was nervous, Tang's mother patted her hand to comfort her, then took her to an old woman, and introduced her, "Xiao Ke, this is Li's mother, who has been in our house for more than 40 years. If you have any problems in life, just ask her for help. Mama Li, this is Xiao Ke, you go and tidy up a bedroom for her, and ask the nutritionist to prepare a diet according to her physical condition in the future."

Li Ma nodded and said yes, and went upstairs with two servants.

Qin Keke heard the clue, she pulled Tang Ma aside, and lowered her voice: "Auntie, what are you doing to clean up my room? I can go home and live. My home is in the city center, so it's very convenient to go to the company."

Tang Ma glanced at her and said angrily, "Silly boy, did you forget what you promised me just now? You can't go back on your promise to help me."

"Just tell me, I'll just help you." Qin Keke said anxiously.

"Then you can live with me in peace for a month."

As the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse.If you want her to live here, restrained, it's better to let her go back to the hospital and be alone.

"A visitor at home?"

Qin Keke raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw a man in his fifties standing on the second floor, wearing a well-proportioned Chinese tunic suit, with a square face and broad cheeks, calm and majestic.The man has a strong aura, calm and thick, and looks like he should be Tang Shui's father.

Tang's mother took her and introduced her to the man walking upstairs and downstairs, "This is my son's benefactor and also an employee of our company, Qin Keke. This little girl is not in good health recently, and she lives alone without anyone to take care of her. Me and this If the little girl hits the spot, I bring her back to live, and let Mama Li adjust her body."

Tang's father came down from upstairs and sat on the sofa: "Since we are guests, we should treat them well. Let A Miao go home early at night."

Tang Simiao's father, Tang Hao, is also considered a man of the day in the business world.In recent years, due to poor health, he faded out of the business world.Father Tang glanced at Qin Keke, turned around and walked into the study on the first floor without saying anything.

After Tang's father glanced at her, she straightened her back, put her hands on her legs, and stood up straight as if she was seeing the dean.She breathed a sigh of relief when Father Tang left.

Tang Ma took her to look around the room. There was a guqin in the corner of the hall. The body of the qin was polished and the strings were smooth. It seemed that no one had played it for a long time.This violin is not like a decoration.

Tang's mother explained to her: "When I was a child, A Miao learned the guqin from a master of Chinese studies, but since her eyes were bad, she never played it again."

Qin Keke liked this piano very much, and pressed his fingertips on the strings: "Does Dead Sugar Water still like these things? I thought he only liked painting."

Besides Qin Keke, there is also an outsider living in the Tang family - Lin Si, Tang Simiao's personal female doctor.

She is Tang's father's distinguished guest, and the nanny at home dare not neglect this female doctor.

Lin Si came back from the hospital after get off work and saw the servants in the Tang family busy, thinking that Tang Simiao was coming back to live, so she grabbed Li Ma and asked, "Mr. Tang is coming back?"

Li Ma said, "No, the wife brought back a girl."

Lin Si was puzzled: "Girl?"

Mama Li: "Well, it's a girl surnamed Qin."

Lin Si's room was arranged on the first floor, while Qin Keke's room was on the second floor.She went into the study to get something, and happened to see Qin Keke sitting on the tatami and reading "Treatise on Febrile Diseases".She wanted to back out, thought for a moment, walked over, and said hello to her: "Miss Qin."

Qin Keke was watching with enthusiasm, when she looked up and saw Lin Si, the female doctor in Tangshui, she was stunned, not knowing how to react.

Why is she here?She closed the book and nodded at her dully: "You... hello."

"Just now I heard from Mama Li that you moved here?" Lin Si smiled kindly, "Did Simiao pick you up on her own initiative?"

She nodded dully: "Yes, yes...that's it." When the rival met, she was extremely jealous. Facing such a tall, beautiful, and temperamental rival, she couldn't lose her momentum!
She added: "Tang Shui personally picked me up." It shouldn't matter if you lied to your rival, right?

Lin Si acted gracefully. She glanced at the book in her hand and asked, "Why, Miss Qin is also interested in medical books?"

"Uh, just take a look."

"Then I have to remind you that Uncle Tang hates people touching his books, especially these treasures of ancient books. I suggest you read the books on the shelf over there." Lin Si raised his finger and pointed to the bookshelf opposite.

"Aren't there comics over there?"

When she entered the study just now, she had inspected the furnishings here. The study is roughly divided into two styles.On one side is the comics area, where the bookshelves are filled with out-of-print comics and even manuscripts of well-known cartoonists.On the other side is the text book area, most of which are classic ancient books.

Qin Keke is very interested in these ancient books.Her grandfather also likes to collect these. It is no exaggeration to say that the ancient books in the grandfather's study are more comprehensive than the Tang's study, and there are even printed manuscripts from the late Qing Dynasty.

Hearing what Lin Si said, she hurriedly put the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" with a yellowed cover back to its original place.It's just that she just put it back, but Lin Si took it out again and held it in her hand.

Lin Si glanced at him indifferently: "Actually, borrowing books is also a subject of scholarship, which pays attention to status. Uncle Tang hates others touching his books, but he is willing to lend them to me. It's hard to find a bosom friend, do you understand?"

Is this a naked demonstration?

Qin Keke didn't hesitate, and hurriedly said, "Yes, it's hard to find a bosom friend. Tang Shui and I are bosom friends, so I understand."

Lin Si randomly flipped through the books, and glanced at her face, "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Lin Si, and I have known Tang Simiao for six years. Because I can chat with Uncle Tang, I have no place to live in China, so I have been living in his home."

Living under the same roof with a rival in love?Qin Keke was calm, she said: "Well, I can chat with Aunt Lu and Tang Shui, and I lived with Tang Shui for a few months. This time I'm not feeling well, and Aunt Lu insisted on letting me live here. Alas, hospitality is hard But, there is no way."

Lin Si had no expression on her face, nodded and said, "Take care of each other in the future."

Qin Keke frowned, and said kindly, "Take care of me."

After the meeting in the afternoon, Tang Simiao learned that Qin Keke was taken home by his mother, so he had no choice but to go home.As soon as he entered the house, he saw everyone sitting on the sofa.Mother and Qin Keke sat watching a movie together.Lin Si sat with his father, one reading the newspaper and the other reading a book.

The servant took off Tang Simiao's coat and brought him slippers to change into.Seeing her son coming back, Tang's mother pulled Qin Keke up and led her to meet him.

Qin Keke was dragged to Tang Simiao by Tang Ma, she buried her head in embarrassment, clasped her hands together uncomfortably, and greeted him: "Tang Shui."

Tang Simiao gave a low "um", and habitually stretched out his hand to rub her head.

Hearing this title, Father Tang, who was reading the newspaper, looked away from the newspaper and looked at the two young men at the door, slightly shocked.Lin Si also followed Tang's father's eyes, seeing Tang Simiao's intimate interaction with Qin Keke, and was a little surprised.

"Mama Li, put the food on the table." Mama Tang greeted the nanny to serve the food, and dragged Qin Keke to the restaurant to sit down.

Tang Simiao went upstairs to change her clothes, and when the food was ready, she went downstairs at the right time, entered the restaurant and sat down.He changed into a casual white T. The material was soft and fit his muscular figure very well. He sat directly opposite Qin Keke, while Lin Si sat beside her.

Several people gathered around a rectangular dining table, and the meals in front of each person were different.

Father Tang sat alone at the top, showing his status as the head of the family.Everyone at the dinner table ate with gusto, but Qin Keke had no appetite.On other people's dinner plates, there are sautéed veal steaks mixed with spaghetti, or even lasagna with cream sauce. In front of her is a lotus white porcelain bowl, which contains orange-yellow pumpkin porridge.

The doctor said that her stomach disease needs diet therapy. According to the dinner prepared by the nutritionist, she can only eat pumpkin porridge at night.

She stirred the bowl with a ladle, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone was still eating with relish, she finished the porridge alone, sitting at the dining table not knowing what to do, she was a little overwhelmed.She glanced at Mama Li who was standing aside, and wanted her to help serve another bowl of porridge.She was holding the bowl and turned sideways. Before she could open her mouth, Li Ma snatched the bowl from her hand and said with a gentle smile, "Miss Qin is just a guest. Let us clean up the bowl and chopsticks."

Qin Keke handed the bowl to Mama Li, said "thank you", and sat down again.She originally wanted to wait for Mama Li to serve her another bowl of rice.After waiting for a while, I didn't expect Mama Li to walk out of the kitchen empty-handed, and then stood squarely at the dining table.

Mama Li has no intention of serving her a meal at all.Qin Keke rubbed his deflated stomach and looked at Tang Simiao as if asking for help, but Tang Shui concentrated on cutting the steak and ignored her at all.

She stretched out her legs to kick Tang Simiao, but she stretched her legs too long and accidentally kicked Lin Si who was sitting next to Tang Shui.

Lin Si held the knife and fork, paused, and looked at her with a smile: "Miss Qin, what's the matter with you?"

Qin Keke realized that he had kicked the wrong person, and said embarrassingly, "It's okay, I accidentally kicked..."

Father Tang put down the knife and fork in his hand, and gracefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.He looked at Qin Keke with a serious expression: "Miss Qin, how are you eating?"

"It's okay, it's... okay." No wonder!
Who can eat pumpkin porridge to be full?If she had known that she would suffer food abuse if she came here, she shouldn't have come.

Father Tang wiped his mouth, straightened his face, and asked her, "Where is Miss Qin from?"

"I, I'm from Mao County." Tang's father's eyes were as sharp as a goshawk, and Qin Keke felt guilty when he saw it.

Lin Si also wiped the corners of his mouth, and interjected, "Mao County? That's a good place, famous for its ancient town. But apart from an ancient town, the rest of that place is not enough. Many local people choose to go out to work to earn a living. The people there , the quality is generally low, and many people have a bad impression of it, and they always feel that it is a mess."

"Miss Lin, what do you mean?" Qin Keke felt a little unhappy when she heard her say that.

Lin Si frowned, apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just telling the truth. Ms. Qin shouldn't be that kind of 'dirty' person, right?"

Tang's mother saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly interjected and said, "The smog is not so bad. We have been influenced by our family since we were young, and we are proficient in everything. Ms. Lin has heard of the 'Qin Mansion' in the ancient town of Mao County, right?"

Lin Si nodded, of course she had heard of Qin Zhai.The ancient house covering an area of ​​several thousand square meters is a house that every real estate company wants to get.If she remembers correctly, Tang Simiao and Tang's father were discussing the acquisition of the Qin residence a while ago, but due to various reasons, they failed.

This house can be called a national treasure house, but it belongs to a private house and is never open to the public.Father Tang, who loves Chinese culture, has always wanted to admire the elegance of Qin Zhai, but he has never had the opportunity.Tang's father wanted to make an acquisition in the name of the company, but encountered many obstacles.

For businessmen in the real estate industry, the Qin residence is undoubtedly a piece of fat.

"The owner of the Qin residence is Ke Ke's grandfather. Ke Ke grew up in the Qin residence and was influenced by ancient culture. He knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." When Tang's mother spoke, she deliberately raised the volume by one decibel, and said to Tang's father on purpose .

Lin Si was astonished, Tang's father's ears perked up, the hand holding the tableware also paused, and a gleam of surprise flashed in his eyes.He couldn't help staring at Qin Keke a few more times.Before knowing Qin Keke's identity, he still prefers to let Lin Si be his daughter-in-law.But when he knew that Qin Ke was the granddaughter of the owner of the Qin residence, his attitude immediately changed.

Qin Keke was puzzled, how did Tang Ma know these things?She never told anyone about this, even Tang Simiao didn't know about it, right?A cunning flashed in Tang Ma's eyes, she took Qin Keke's hand and got up, and said kindly: "Go, Keke, Auntie will take you to see the room."

As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, Qin Keke's jaw almost didn't drop in surprise.The bedroom is very spacious, with a two-meter bed in the middle.Covered with light green quilts, it looks comfortable and soft.The four walls of the room are painted light yellow, and there are two European-style wall lamps on the wall beside the bed, with floral wallpaper. The overall decoration style makes people feel warm.

The light yellow curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows are covered with a layer of floral tulle, winding to the ground.On the right is the built-in wardrobe. Tang Ma walked over and pushed the door of the wardrobe open, Qin Keke saw the wardrobe full of clothes.

Tang's mother pulled her over, pointed to the clothes inside and said, "I bought these for my niece, and that girl hangs them in this room all the time without wearing them. Your figure is about the same as my niece, if you don't mind , I will wear them in the future, the clothes are all new, never worn.”

Qin Keke walked over to pick one at random. The material of the clothes was good, and the listing tags were still there.She was a little embarrassed: "These clothes are all new, and the tags are still there. How can I be embarrassed?"

Tang's mother took out a pink dress and gestured on her, "You look good in this one, there's nothing to be ashamed of, and you can wear whatever you want in this wardrobe. If you don't wear it, I can only let Mama Li wear it." What a pity to throw it away?"

"I'm very embarrassed. I wanted to help you with something, but now I can't help you with anything." Qin Keke apologized.

"You child, why are you being polite to me? You have helped me a lot just now." Tang Ma said with a sly face, "Did you see that little fox's face, the 'swish' changed all of a sudden."

"Little Fox?"

"Yes, the little fox who intends to seduce my son. I don't know what method she used to please your uncle. Even your uncle agreed to accept her as his daughter-in-law." Tang Ma snorted and said, "Your uncle I’m the first to disagree with wanting her to marry Ah Miao! That woman has ulterior motives, if she becomes my daughter-in-law, what’s the deal?”

"So, what can I do?" Qin Keke asked her seriously.She is no one beautiful, no one has temperament.She is a doctor of medicine who has returned from overseas, what about her?Nothing.At best, a woman.

"Let's work together to drive that woman out." Tang Ma said childishly.

"But isn't she the doctor of Tangshui?" Qin Keke worried.

"You child, you are too naive! There are many doctors who are more capable than her." Tang's mother sighed in pain, "Good boy, you don't want A Miao to marry another woman, do you? When you marry into the Tang family, you don't have to worry about getting along with your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Auntie swears that she will take good care of you, okay?"

Tang's mother talked about this, and if she didn't fight for herself, she couldn't justify it.She nodded heavily: "Well, I will do my best to drive away this rival in love!"

The two held hands, with firm faces, and they deserved to be a pair of living treasures.

"From tomorrow onwards, we will implement the plan to drive away the vixen! You are in charge of 'seducing' A Miao, and I will be in charge of blowing your uncle's pillow!" Tang Ma, Liu Ye raised her eyebrows, with a smirk on her face.

"No problem!" Qin Keke nodded swearingly, paused, and asked again: "But, how do I seduce Tang Shui!"

Tang's mother patted her on the shoulder, and she had a long way to go: "It's up to you to do what you want."

"Uh..." Try it, a dead horse is a living horse doctor;
"Success is only allowed, failure is not allowed." Tang Ma raised her palm and looked at her firmly.

"What should I do if I fail?" Qin Keke didn't have the confidence.

"Have you ever heard of the overlord's hard attack?" Tang Ma's mouth twitched, "It's not that Auntie wants to spoil you, don't you like A Miao? If you like it, let go of it and go after it. You're so shy, in case someone robs you Let's go, don't blame Auntie for not helping you."

Qin Keke understood, and high-fived Tang Ma, "Okay, listen to you, I'll go all out."

She slept until midnight that night and woke up abruptly from hunger.She waited until early in the morning when everyone fell asleep before getting up from the bed, tiptoed out of the bedroom, and went downstairs to the kitchen.

She carefully opened the kitchen refrigerator, looking at the dazzling array of food on the mezzanine, her eyes were dazed.There was raw food in the refrigerator, and it was impossible for her to cook at this time, so she simply took a box of ice cream and a few iced pastries from the freezer.

Although the big aunt is entangled, but fortunately there is no aunt in pain today.She lowered her head and rubbed her empty stomach, thinking about eating a few mouthfuls to pad her stomach, it should be fine, right?Before she opened the ice cream and put it in her mouth, she suddenly stretched out a hand from behind and snatched the ice cream from her hand.She was startled, the kitchen was pitch black, and a hand suddenly appeared from behind her back, causing her back to break out in cold sweat, her legs went limp, and she almost sat down on the ground.

Tang Simiao's gloomy voice came from behind: "Do you want to die?"

Qin Keke trembled in fright, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stepped back.In a panic, she put her palms on the stove, swept her elbows, and knocked the knife holder to the ground, making a bang and bang sound.

Mama Li was sleeping on the first floor, and when she heard movement in the kitchen, she came out with her clothes on, turned on the spotlight in the hall, and asked in the direction of the kitchen, "Who?"

Tang Simiao also turned on the light, and answered the people outside: "It's me, I accidentally knocked over something when I came down to get a drink. Mama Li, go to sleep, let me clean up here."

Mama Li was also tired all day, knowing that Tang Simiao was independent and didn't like help from others, so she didn't go there.She tugged on her clothes, turned around and went back to the bedroom.

Qin Keke raised his hand and rubbed his swollen and sore eyes, looked up to see Tang Simiao, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Sugar water." She thought it was who it was, and startled her.

Tang Simiao glanced at her with his head down, squatted down to pick up the knives on the ground, and placed them neatly.Seeing him squatting on the ground to pick up things, Qin Keke took out another apple from the refrigerator, put it in his mouth and was about to chew it, but he snatched it away.

Qin Keke stared at him angrily, "What are you doing, I'm starving to death, give it to me quickly."

"Do not die?" Tang Simiao frowned and glanced at her, "The doctor said that you have a serious stomach problem, and you can only drink porridge these days. Besides, you haven't had your period yet, have you? How dare you touch ice cream? Next Do you want to die of pain this time? Huh?"

She was speechless after being reprimanded by Tang Simiao, she rubbed her belly aggrievedly: "But I'm hungry...I didn't eat enough tonight."

"Your dinner is prepared by a nutritionist, it's fine." Tang Simiao grabbed her wrist, "Go back to your room and sleep."

"No!" Qin Keke simply squatted on the spot, folded his arms and refused to leave, and said righteously, "Rather than starve to death, I would rather die of a recurrence of stomach disease and bleeding from all seven orifices!"

Tang Simiao tried to pick up the mangy dog ​​squatting on the ground, but this guy hung him like a weight.He really had nothing to do with her, sighed and said, "You go to the restaurant and sit down."

"What are you doing?" Qin Keke looked up at him.

"I'll make you something to eat, go to the restaurant and sit down, wait for me." Tang Simiao said.

Qin Keke got up immediately, and ran to the restaurant to sit obediently.She was sitting in the dining room with only two small spotlights turned on, and the lights were dim.Tang Simiao was walking around in the kitchen wearing silk pajamas and a pair of cotton slippers.

The Tang family's kitchen is semi-open, with a spare door.There is a bar-style food preparation area at the partition between the kitchen and the dining room. She took two bar chairs over, turned on the small spotlight on the top of the head, and sat on the table in the food preparation area, propping her chin and looking at the busy sugar water in the kitchen. .

Tang Simiao rolled up the sleeves of his pajamas to his elbows, exposing his white forearms, and took a clear glass bowl from the cupboard.Then take the raw oatmeal and pour it into a glass bowl to soak.I also took a few red dates, removed the pits with a knife, and soaked them in warm water together with wolfberry.

His pair of white and slender hands went in and out of the water, stained with rice washing water, and the smooth backs of his hands seemed to be covered with a white film.

He cooks porridge with red dates, wolfberry, millet and oatmeal.Not only can it increase people's satiety, but it is also good for menstrual women.It's past eight o'clock now, and eating at this time is really bad for the stomach.

He divided the cooked porridge into two small bowls, intending to share half of it for her.I also took bananas and soaked them in warm water, and placed the slices in a beautiful shape on a white porcelain plate.Finally, serve it to Qin Keke together with the porridge.

Tang Simiao sat down next to her, stirred the porridge for her with a ladle, waited for it to cool down, and then pushed it to her: "It's a bit hot, eat slowly."

Qin Keke agreed with his mouth, but soon began to gobble up and eat.After watching her finish eating, Tang Simiao turned his head to eat his own bowl.

The satisfaction of being full made her feel particularly happy.The warm light above her head fell down, making her whole heart warm.She turned her head and saw red dates in Tang Simiao's bowl, licked her own spoon, and took advantage of his not paying attention, "grabbed" two from his bowl.

The "robbery" was successful, and she felt a sense of elation, chewing red dates to show off to him.

Tang Simiao looked at her with contempt, shook his head helplessly, then picked out the red dates in his bowl one by one, and gave them to her, "Eat more if you like."

Qin Keke likes the glutinous sweetness of red dates, and it would be better if the pits are not removed.

Satisfied after eating supper, she yawned, pursed her mouth, and boldly leaned on Tang Simiao's shoulder.She quickly retracted her little head, for fear that he would get angry because of it.

She got up and rubbed her round belly, and was about to go upstairs to sleep. Tang Simiao grabbed her and suggested, "It's not good for you to lie down right after eating. Let's go to bed after eating."

In the middle of the night, you can't go for a walk, right?It was pitch black outside, and the autumn wind was blowing, she didn't want to go out.

Probably knowing that she was lazy, Tang Simiao said, "Watch a movie."

"It's boring." She rolled her eyes, feeling boring.She prefers to fall asleep rather than watch a movie.

Eat and drink enough, lie down and sleep, this is the joy of life.But when she thought about it, she promised Tang Ma that she would seduce Tang Shui. Maybe watching a movie would be useful?
Thinking of this, she became interested.

Tang Simiao saw that she was frowning and pursing her lips, unwilling to go to the movies, so she reached out and grabbed her wrist, "I just want to lie down after eating, are you a pig? Sleeping with food can easily cause stomach lesions, which not only affects the Sleep can also easily cause fat accumulation, do you want to become a pig?"

Qin Keke glared at him, and immediately hugged his arm, put her face on his shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Okay, okay, just watch."

Tang Simiao was not disgusted by her ambiguous gesture, and dragged her into the home theater at home.There were no movies at home, so he picked a horror movie at random.At the beginning of the movie, a bloody human head appeared on the screen. Qin Keke screamed in fright, grabbed his arm tightly, and buried his face in his chest, refusing to leave.

"Is it really good to watch horror movies in the middle of the night!!" Qin Keke's voice was soft.

"In case you fall asleep while watching it, it just refreshes you." Tang Simiao sat upright, watching the horrible picture on the screen without blinking his eyes.

Feeling guilty, Qin Keke grabbed her arm and watched carefully.Once there was a horrible scene, she immediately screamed and buried her head in his strong chest.

The scene in the movie is a dark courtyard, the moonlight in the house is cold, the heroine is humming a country tune, washing her hair by the well with her back to the mouth of the well.A pale hand stretched out from the well.

Then, a close-up of the hand.With pitch-black nails, the blood veins on the back of the hand are clearly visible.The music in the movie hall changed with a "boom", and a faceless girl emerged from the well.

"Ah—" Qin Keke was taken aback, holding on to Tang Shui's arm tightly, his little head thrust into his pajamas desperately.

Tang Simiao looked down at the woman whose head was buried in his pajamas, her eyes were fixed on the screen, her forehead was full of black lines.

"Don't watch it, don't watch it, it's scary, let's watch a comedy, watch a comedy." She tugged on his sleeve, and a muffled voice came out of his arms.
