Under meals

Chapter 47 It's all your fault

It was late at night when the call ended.

After hanging up, Tao Mingzhuo immediately ran to the bathroom to take a shower. After coming out, he poured two large bottles of water, but he still felt restless in his heart as if there was a hot fire burning.

Although you can see the other person's face through the screen and hear the other person's clear breathing through the earpiece, you still can't really touch the person you are thinking about.

What the two of them did just now through the screen was like scratching the surface of the skin for Tao Mingzhuo, but it just made the fire in his heart more and more intense.

Living like a year is nothing more than this kind of feeling. Just halfway through the seemingly short ten days, Tao Mingzhuo felt that he couldn't hold back any longer.

He sent a message to Jingci, hinting inside and out: "Yang Keying just told me that this Friday is a holiday, and if you add two days to the weekend, it will be a short holiday."

Jing Ci replied: "Okay, you are also very busy recently, just take a rest."

Tao Mingzhuo pursed his lips.

The sentence "I miss you" was entered and deleted in the dialog box, deleted and entered again, and finally turned into an extremely awkward sentence: "I think the mashed potato steak you showed me last time looks delicious, I feel ...I kind of want to try it myself."

After a while, Jing Ci replied with a subtle "little frog smile" expression.

Jing Ci: "Come and find me."

A few days later, at dusk, Jing Ci stepped out of the elevator of the hotel, and immediately saw Tao Mingzhuo standing at the entrance of the hotel with a backpack on his back, staring at the fountain at the entrance.

When Tao Mingzhuo was watching it fascinated, he suddenly felt someone pulling him from behind.

He took a few steps back in a daze, and found Jing Ci standing behind him, saying, "Be careful."

When he came back to his senses, Tao Mingzhuo found that clusters of huge water splashes exploded not far from where he was standing just now. If Jing Ci hadn't pulled himself away, he would probably have already The people and the bag were poured into a ready-made drowned chicken.

Tao Mingzhuo was dumbfounded: "..."

Jing Ci said: "I saw someone standing in the same position as you the day before yesterday. He was not so lucky. He was doused in water."

Tao Mingzhuo was afraid for a while: "...it must be a hidden weapon."

Jing Ci smiled: "Is the fountain so beautiful?"

Tao Mingzhuo nodded: "It's beautiful, the color change of water is very complicated."

Jing Ci: "Isn't water a transparent color?"

Tao Mingzhuo said strangely: "No, the water is transparent, but the light and scenery beside the water are colored. Transparency is actually a kind of texture, because it involves the refraction and reflection of light, so the usual painting It is more difficult to present, and it is more dependent on the artist's skills and skills..."

Tao Mingzhuo realized that he had said a lot of boring things to Jing Ci on his own, cleared his throat, and said, "Let's go eat."

They went to eat the famous mashed potatoes with steak in U country.

It looked pretty good, but Tao Mingzhuo almost spit it out after taking a bite.

He never expected that a small lump of mashed potatoes could contain the five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty at the same time, and there were so many strange spices hidden in it.

After coming out of the restaurant, Tao Mingzhuo saw Jing Ci pointing to an alley next to him, and asked, "Would you like to take a walk over there?"

Tao Mingzhuo glanced at the dark alley, always feeling that it might be unsafe to walk at night.

But when he raised his eyes to look at Jing Ci's smiling eyes, Tao Mingzhuo swallowed the words of refusal in a circle around his mouth, he hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed: "Okay."

Tao Mingzhuo thought at first that Jing Ci was just wandering aimlessly.

But as he walked, Tao Mingzhuo found that Jing Ci seemed to be very familiar with this road.He rarely looked around, just walked straight forward, as if he had a destination in mind.

The alley is very narrow, the street lights are dim, and the two sides are red bricks, which are quite exotic small buildings, and the ground floor of the small buildings are all shops.

Most of the shops are closed, but the windows of a few small shops are still lit with dim orange lights, so it is quite interesting to go shopping.

Walking around, Jing Ci stopped.

Tao Mingzhuo also stopped. He raised his head and subconsciously glanced at the signboard of the shop.

Tao Mingzhuo opened his eyes wide: "This is..."

Jing Ci took Tao Mingzhuo to a shop selling paints.

Tao Mingzhuo is no stranger to this brand, it is the brand of the box of expensive oil paint that Jing Ci brought back to Tao Mingzhuo when he was on a business trip in U country.

At that time, Tao Mingzhuo only dug up a piece of Mimi to paint Jing Ci's portrait, and the rest has not been moved, and he secretly locked it in the depths of a small cabinet in Tao Xue's studio.

This paint store is a local niche brand in country U. The paint is famous for being expensive and contains mineral powder, and the store is also low-key opened in a small alley.

After entering the store, Tao Mingzhuo saw boxes of paints neatly placed on wooden shelves. The paints were well classified according to their color system and lightness. All comfortable.

When Tao Mingzhuo was fascinated, he heard Jing Ci beside him ask himself: "I wonder if you can do me a favor?"

He came back to his senses and nodded: "What's the matter?"

"I have an image in my head that I've always wanted to put on canvas."

Jing Ci said: "However, the only painting that I have really completed since I was a child was in your sister's nail shop, and you finished it for me after you took over."

"You should know more about my painting skills. I follow my father more. Compared with colors and graphics, I may be more sensitive to numbers." Jing Ci smiled and shook her head helplessly, "Water is in my eyes. There is always only one color of transparency, and I can say that I know nothing about painting, and I may not be as good at painting as my mother."

"So I want to buy some paints and ask you to help me draw this picture." Jing Ci said.

Tao Mingzhuo really didn't expect Jing Ci to make such a request.

Jing Ci's expression was very serious, although Tao Mingzhuo felt that this request was a little strange, but he was already making a living by painting, so he nodded without hesitation: "Yes, but you don't need to buy such an expensive paint. Too many, please give me a general description of the general scene you want to paint and the characteristics of the characters you want to paint."

Jing Ci was quiet for a while.

"The scene...was in the company's staff cafeteria. That was the first time I saw him."

After a while, Jing Ci opened his mouth. Instead of looking at Tao Mingzhuo, he raised his hand and slowly slid his fingertips across the paint pot: "He didn't see me at the time, but I was right there with my eyes. The crowd noticed him."

"Human memory is limited," Jing Ci said, "but the things about him seem to be covered with very bright colors, and I can always remember them very clearly."

Tao Mingzhuo's figure suddenly stopped.

"I think... green," Jing Ci said with a smile as her fingertips landed on a jar of green paint, "It's the color of the shredded cucumber in the bowl of noodles he ate at that time."

He raised his hand, and lightly landed his index finger on a can of orange paint: "The orange-red color is the color of the sweater he wore that day."

"His eyes were black, but not a lifeless black, but a black with a nice light."

Jing Ci said with some regret: "I can't describe it in words, so I probably can't restore it completely with paint."

Tao Mingzhuo opened his mouth slightly: "You..."

"Talking about color alone, maybe there is no way to restore the person I'm talking about." Jing Ci thought for a while, then bent her eyes at Tao Mingzhuo, and said, "Well, let me tell you about the relationship between me and him. Maybe you can draw more easily with some things that happened during the period.”

"He always has a big mouthful when he eats, and he can eat everything deliciously, so at first, I just wanted to watch his face while eating, and subconsciously wanted to have more interaction with him."

Jing Ci said: "But later, I found out that he is a very special person."

"He blushes very much. At first I thought it was because the temperature in the room was too high, or he couldn't eat spicy food." He said, "But once I was smoking with him by the bridge, I suddenly had some tentative thoughts. , deliberately put his face close to his mouth to light a cigarette."

"I found that it wasn't because of the temperature or the flavor of the food, but his face turned red... because of me." Jing Ci said.

He smiled and shook his head: "From that day on, when I found out that his face turned red because of my behavior, I would always... feel a little unspeakably happy."

"He doesn't agree with what he says. He is obviously a thin-skinned person, but when he helps me out at the bar, he will tell others loudly that I am his boyfriend." Jing Ci said, "It is obviously raining heavily and it is cold. In early spring, when it was extremely hot, I said that I was too hot and didn’t want to take my coat, so I put the coat on my shoulders instead.”

"At that time, he told me that he had a sweetheart." Jing Ci lightly tapped the lid of the paint jar with her finger, "I thought it was a little girl who often appeared with him. At first I thought, for them The relationship between... I don't care."

"But one time later, when I heard that they were going to go out of town together for three days, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable."

Jing Ci's eyelashes trembled, and he said: "It was a very delicate mood. At that time, I thought I was just worried that I would not be able to eat if I couldn't see him, but then I suddenly realized that my mood at that time ... more like a kind of jealousy about his relationship with that girl."

"But liking this kind of emotion is inherently complicated," he said, "who can realize it immediately at the first time?"

"If the purpose was to eat at the beginning, then later on, eating became a cover for me to spend more time with him." Jing Ci rolled her eyes and said, "But luckily, we are in Together."

"Although he is a bit clumsy and stubborn, he treats me wholeheartedly, and always happily presents the best things to me." Jing Ci smiled and sighed, and said, "You say For someone as good as him, why do you think I don't like him, or don't like him at all?"

"I obviously like him very much." He said softly.

"I really like the way he gulps when he eats, and I also like how he is drowsy when watching a movie but insists on saying that he likes to watch it, but after 5 minutes, he immediately collapses on my lap with sleepiness." Looks like he's asleep."

Jing Ci thought for a while, and said seriously: "I really like the way he wraps around my waist from behind me, puts his head on my shoulder, and whispers in my ear. I like it more when he kisses me actively, Although the movements are reckless and clumsy, they have been carefully observing my reaction."

This is like a long parallel sentence that Tao Mingzhuo and Jing Ci stumbled out when they confessed their love.

Jing Ci continued to imitate Tao Mingzhuo's tone at that time, and opened her mouth with a slight smile.

"I've always wanted to tell him that I actually like him very much, very much."

Jing Ci lowered her eyes, hugged the cans of paint she had just picked out, and walked in front of Tao Mingzhuo.

He looked calm, but the moment he raised his head to meet Tao Mingzhuo's eyes, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"I'm almost finished." Jing Ci handed the paint in front of Tao Mingzhuo, and asked with a smile, "I don't know about this painting...can you draw it for me?"

Tao Mingzhuo didn't speak for a long time.

He looked like a dried sculpture, and it took a long time before he finally raised his hand and slowly took the cans of paint.

He remained silent, but turned around after a while, picked up a few more cans of paint from the shelf, and went straight to the cashier to pay.

This kind of reaction was not expected by Jing Ci. Looking at Tao Mingzhuo's back, he suddenly felt a little flustered.

Jing Ci saw Tao Mingzhuo striding towards her.

Immediately after, Jing Ci felt his wrist being pulled by him, Tao Mingzhuo exerted great strength, Jing Ci didn't expect it, and he staggered slightly.

He heard Tao Mingzhuo say to himself sullenly: "Go back to the hotel."

It was late at night, and Jing Ci couldn't see Tao Mingzhuo's expression clearly.

Just like this, Tao Mingzhuo walked out of the shop with the paint in one hand and Jing Ci in the other, and walked quickly with a dull head.He didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't open his mouth to explain anything.

After a while, he heard Tao Mingzhuo murmur to himself: "The size is right this time...and I bought three different brands and put them in the bag. There is absolutely no chance of any problems again." gone."

Jing Ci blinked blankly.

Tao Mingzhuo continued to hold his hand and walked for a while, after a while, Jingci saw him turn his face away.

The moment she met Tao Mingzhuo's eyes, Jing Ci found that his eyes were filled with fiery, bright light like fireworks that were blooming.

Tao Mingzhuo quickly looked away, and he lowered his head.

After a while, Jing Ci heard Tao Mingzhuo call out his name in a low voice.

He sniffed, and said hoarsely: "Actually, it wasn't that unbearable at first, but you... how could you say such things to me?"

"It's all your fault." His voice sounded a little aggrieved, "I feel like I can't wait for even a second now..."
