Thursday, March 14th

Upstairs, wisps of light penetrated through the untie curtains, adding a bit of hazy feeling to the simple room.

A pair of white and tender arms stretched out from the blue goose-quilt, and then a lazy reminder rang out. Ji Wei lifted the quilt, revealing the undulating mountains on her chest.

"ah--"

I mischievously rolled over the quilt, wrinkled the silk pajamas and wrapped them tightly on the graceful figure, while exposing most of the slender white and fair legs. It was really tempting. It was not worth the life.

Unfortunately, a nominal husband didn't have the chance to see such a seductive scene.

He pulled open the heavy curtains barefoot, and the sun was shining outside. When he opened the window, Ji Wei closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her face full of satisfaction.

I brushed my teeth, washed my face, changed my makeup, put all the documents I prepared last night in my bag, and went downstairs after I missed nothing.

"Wife, good morning--"

The good mood disappeared without a trace with Duan Ning's words, and the scene at his parents' house last night appeared before Ji Wei's eyes again.

Looking at Duan Ning, he had that familiar smile again. Ji Wei was very surprised. Why didn’t he see him laughing so much when he was in the United States? Also, how happy he is every day?

I was too lazy to care about it, so I walked downstairs and looked at the restaurant. Sure enough, the rich breakfast was ready.

Although he didn't plan to show him a good look, he paid the "food expenses", so why don't he eat it?

Thinking of this, Ji Wei found a sense of balance in her heart and twisted her hips and walked towards the restaurant.

"You sit down and eat first. There is still a salad that has not been mixed, so it will be done soon." Duan Ning helped her open the chair and turned to the kitchen.

Habits are fatal!

At first Duan Ning called her wife, and it felt as uncomfortable as if there were caterpillars crawling on her body, but after calling her for a few days, Ji Wei was not too disgusted now.

There is also the action of pulling a chair. I thought he had deliberately pleased her in it before, but now Ji Wei didn't even realize that there was something wrong with this action!

I sat down naturally, and in front of me was a bowl of brown sugar oatmeal porridge with more than a dozen dried peanuts on it; in the exquisite wooden basket on the table, there were four or five crispy baked cakes, and a few other meals.

Duan Ning brought out a small plate of fruit salad and said with a smile: "Eat while it's hot, it will be bad if it's cold."

Ji Wei asked him if he wanted to ask why he just made the time just right every time? But he didn't say it out.

I scooped a spoon of oatmeal porridge and put it into my mouth. It was sweet and suitable, and it was full of exotic flavor. The only downside was that I put dried peanuts in it, which made me crispy in my mouth, which really damaged her image.

Duan Ning was like a roundworm in her belly. She sat down and said with a smile: "Fruit husk food can help us enhance our memory. Eating more is helpful to the brain; in addition, when chewing, you will use the upper and lower jaws and cheek muscles, which can slim your face."

Ji Wei, who lowered her head, couldn't help rolling her eyes. She could tell a flower even if she had peanuts. There was no one else.

She didn't say anything, Duan Ning just smiled and drank the oatmeal porridge.

"This is sauerkraut, I just marinated it the day before yesterday. Please try it and see how it tastes."

Ji Wei didn't resist when she got used to his "attention". She picked up a piece of carrot and tried it. The taste was very special. It was very different from the Korean kimchi she had eaten before. It was not so spicy, and it also had the fragrance of the heart of the cabbage.

"How is it, isn't it?"

Ji Wei nodded and said "yes".

Duan Ning smiled, stopped talking, and picked up a piece of baked cake and started biting it.

...

After breakfast, Ji Wei picked up her bag and wanted to leave, but she felt that it was too heartless to say nothing, so she asked, "How is the injury on your head?"

"It's almost done."

Ji Wei hesitated and said, "If possible... how about going to work next Monday?"

"He is a soft-eating person and still has to go to work?" Duan Ning was stunned for a moment.

"If you don't want to go, it's fine. I'll just ask you." Seeing his surprised expression, Ji Wei was a little angry for no reason and a little rushing tone.

Duan Ning came back to his senses and smiled, "Then let's go next Monday!"

After Ji Wei left, Duan Ning cleaned up the dishes, washed them, and made a cup of tea afterwards, listening quietly to "Wedding in Dreams". The melodious and continuous smell rose slowly in the living room, cleaning people's ears and purifying their souls.

Tagore once said that the closer you are, the further the journey is; the simplest tone requires the most difficult practice.

Duan Ning admires this sentence very much. There are many seemingly simple things in the world. If you want to stand out from it, you often have to pay a price that ordinary people can't imagine.

Just like cooking, like a mercenary, like a killer-

...

Time slipped away in silence, but Duan Ning felt at ease in the silence.

My good body is eaten. After listening to the music for half an hour, my mood was soothing and clear. Duan Ning got up and went out to buy vegetables.

After going downstairs and just walked out of the awning that extended the building, the sunlight on his head spread unscrupulously on Duan Ning, making him squint his eyes unconsciously, and then his nose was a little itchy.

"Ah--Ah--"

Rubbing his nose, he said to himself, "Who is praying to me?"

After raising his legs and walking for two steps, Duan Ning stopped and looked at Building 10.

I saw a woman with disheveled hair sitting on the lawn facing the building, cursing at her phone. Next to her was a little girl about 8 or 9 years old, leaning on the woman's shoulder. When Duan Ning looked over, she subconsciously retracted her head under the woman's shoulder.

There must be something hateful about a poor person. Duan Ning has never been a nosy person, so he turned around and walked out of the community.

Ji Wei didn't come back for lunch, so Duan Ning bought several dishes that match meat and vegetables according to her taste.

When they got home, the mother and daughter were still sitting on the lawn. The woman was still calling and scolding, which looked like a shrew; the little girl sat quietly beside her, and when someone passed by, she always hid behind the woman vigilantly.

When I got home, I changed the dishes, washed the vegetables, and steamed the rice, it was already 10 o'clock. At this moment, my cell phone rang and took it out and saw that it was called by my mother-in-law.

Mother Ji first asked him if he had cooked food, and if he didn't cook, he would go over to eat it; then asked his health. After confirming that he was fine, Mother Ji asked carefully: "Xiao Duan, I discussed it with your uncle and wanted you to do some business. What do you think?"

"Uh--this--"

"Xiao Duan, don't be too careful. Your uncle and I have nothing else to do. I just want your opinion. If you think it's not suitable, just pretend that the aunt didn't say it."

Duan Ningxiao, this mother-in-law is worthy of being an intellectual, and she is very sensible in her words and actions. In order to take care of his self-esteem of a "phoenix man", even the good things like helping him pay for business have to be discussed again and again, and there are not many in the world.

Although the mother-in-law is kind, she just promised Ji Wei to go to work on the company on Monday in the morning, so she couldn't go back on her word, right? So she refused politely, for fear that her mother-in-law would think too much, Duan Ning also explained.

After putting down the phone, Duan Ning's face was filled with a warm smile. This kind of care from his relatives made him feel very enjoyable.

Just as I was about to put away my phone, I found that there were two unread text messages. When I opened it, I found that it was my sister-in-law Ji Meng.

"Duan Ning, will I go to your house for dinner tonight?"

Maybe he didn't wait for his answer, and another message was five minutes later, "Not welcome to pull it off, hum!"

The word "hum" is added to the back, and the girlish silly smell seems to be transmitted through the mobile phone screen, making Duan Ning happy.

After replying to Ji Mengmeng, Duan Ning started cooking lunch.

...

After dinner, I wandered around the community for a while and ate the food. When I came back by Building 10, a security guard was persuading the mother and daughter, and it seemed that they wanted them to leave here.

The woman was like a female leopard, and no one was allowed to touch her. Two security guards tried to expel her by force. As a result, the woman grinded her teeth and was about to bite her. She was so scared that the security guard had to continue to do her thoughtful work.

However, women do not take advantage of the situation, but do not listen to advice.

Duan Ning took a look and went back to take a nap. He got up on time at two o'clock, made a cup of tea, walked into the study with ease, took a photo of the Red Mansion and started to read it.

The afternoon sun shone in from outside the glass window, making people feel warm and a layer of golden paint was also painted on the desk.

Duan Ning seemed to have been immersed in the world in the book. The sun gradually sets westward, and the tea on the table has changed from swaying blue smoke to calm waves.

I saw the pages of the book spread out on the table. Duan Ning saw the third chapter of "Jia Yucun's life restored her old job, Lin Daiyu threw her father into Kyoto", one of which was a conversation: "You are angry, it's easy to beat and scold people, why bother to throw your life/root!"

Baoyu cried with tears on his face, "I don't have any sisters at home, but I have only one, but I say it's boring; now there's no such fairy-like sister, so I don't know that this is not a good thing."

Jia Mu hurriedly coaxed him and said, "Your sister was originally from..."
