outsider(1/2)
Since Nannan entered kindergarten, she usually spent less time playing outside. Therefore, the little girl played particularly crazy that day, but she was exhausted by the afternoon. On the way back, Wen Cai held her in her arms and fell asleep.
It’s on.
Song Xiyuan drove directly back to Wen Cai's apartment, and Wen Cai didn't say anything.
After returning home and putting his daughter on the bed, Wen Cai started to make dinner. When he opened the refrigerator, he found that it was empty. Then he remembered that he had been in the hospital for several days and there was no food prepared at home.
Wen Cai drank too much last night and was tortured when he came back. He walked outside all day today and was really exhausted. He didn't want to go out to buy food, so he took the takeout order and prepared to call for takeout.
She was sitting there studying the menu. Song Xiyuan took a quick break and came out. Seeing that she was about to make a call, he asked, "What are you doing?"
"Order takeout." Wen Cai said without raising his head.
Song Xiyuan frowned slightly and said, "My daughter is still young. It's not healthy to eat food from outside. You'd better make it yourself."
Hearing this, Wen Cai raised his head and glanced at him.
We were at the zoo during the day today. He was always responsive to my daughter's requests. He ate a lot of junk food, but now he came to talk to her about her health?
But his reason was so grand, it seemed that she could no longer find excuses to be lazy, so she stood up again, put on her shoes and prepared to go out to buy groceries.
Who would have thought that Song Xiyuan would follow her out of the house. Wen Cai turned around and looked at him: "What are you doing?"
"I'll go shopping with you." Song Xiyuan said matter-of-factly.
Wen Cai's face changed slightly: "What about Nannan?"
"I've just been back from shopping for a while, and my daughter still hasn't woken up." He locked the door, put the key in his trouser pocket, and then took Wen Cai's hand.
Wen Cai froze and struggled, but failed and struggled again. Song Xiyuan turned around and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Seeing the calm expression on his face, Wen Cai pursed her lips and said calmly: "No problem."
Holding hands and going shopping together was something they had done three years ago.
Wen Cai no longer remembered her mood at that time. She only knew that at this moment, she only felt that her hands and feet were stiff, and she always felt uncomfortable when she felt someone around her looking at her.
The two of them held hands and walked to the large supermarket near the community. When they were choosing ingredients, Song Xiyuan finally let go of her hand.
Wen Cai picked some fruits and vegetables and walked to the fresh food area.
Passing by the seafood area, Wen Cai noticed that the crabs seemed to be very fresh. Remembering that her daughter loved to eat them, she stopped in her tracks, but she was a little hesitant because she didn't know how to choose.
Song Xiyuan walked ahead and found that she had not followed, so he turned back and said, "Want to do crabs?"
Wen Cai lowered his eyes and said, "My daughter likes to eat, but I don't know how to pick. Let's forget it, so as not to pick something stale and get a stomachache."
She was about to move forward, but Song Xiyuan held her back: "I'll pick."
Wen Cai looked at him in surprise, and then saw him rolling up his sleeves, squatting next to the wet glass jar, and carefully selecting one by one.
In fact, when he accompanied her to buy groceries just now, standing apart from ordinary housewives was already eye-catching. Now, regardless of his glamor, he squatted there to pick crabs in a dignified manner - all the saleswomen around him were already there.
Look here and whisper to each other from time to time.
"Is it him or not?"
"Impossible. How could a person of his status come here? And pick the crabs himself?"
"But they are really similar. Look at that demeanor... the woman standing there also looks a lot like that Wen Cai!"
"No way? Is it really them?"
…
From time to time, Wen Cai heard a few whispers drifting into his ears, which made his head feel heavy. After a while, even the supermarket manager was alerted.
"Mr. Song!" When the supermarket manager saw that it was indeed Song Xiyuan who had appeared in his supermarket, he was so excited that he could not speak incoherently. He stepped forward and held Song Xiyuan's wet hand, "You are here, but you are not welcome! Why did you come here to buy it in person?
Is it ready?"
After saying that, he noticed Wen Cai standing on the side, and immediately burst into laughter: "So you came here with Miss Wen. You two are really a husband and wife, playing the piano and the harp in harmony!"
Wen Cai felt that his head was covered with black lines and he could hardly lift his head. Song Xiyuan was calm and decent, and smiled slightly: "She didn't dare to pick the crabs when they saw them fresh, so I had to pick them."
"Oh, you two are in need of labor. Just give me an order from Mr. Song, and I will immediately ask someone to pick out the best crabs!"
"No, no, no," Song Xiyuan said, "I've already chosen it."
After saying that, he looked at Wen Cai: "Would you like to buy another lobster?"
"No need." Wen Cai just wants to leave here quickly, "It's a waste if we can't finish the food for three of us."
"Okay, let's go check out." Song Xiyuan put the selected crabs into the cart.
The manager quickly rushed forward and took the cart from Wen Cai's hand: "I'll come, I'll come, I'll come, so and so, so and so, hurry up to the cashier and open a VIP channel. Don't keep Mr. Song waiting for a long time!
"
Wen Cai was really unlucky to receive such respect when he was so involved in buying groceries, so he quietly turned his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Does Mr. Song live near here? If you need anything in the future, just give me a call. I'll send someone to deliver it to you right away. I won't bother you two to make a trip, right?" The manager patted him reluctantly.
Flattery.
Song Xiyuan glanced at Wen Cai, with a slight smile on his lips: "No, it's good to go out for a walk occasionally."
The manager quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, it's interesting! Mr. Song is really considerate, Miss Wen is lucky... She will be Mrs. Song soon, and we should change our words, hahaha..."
Wen Cai, one with two heads, forced a smile.
While waiting for the checkout, Song Xiyuan's eyes suddenly stopped at the contraceptive condoms on the shelf next to him. He seemed to want to take a box. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wen Cai slapped it away.
The hand that came out said: "Okay, I have bought everything. Let's go back quickly."
The manager was so enthusiastic. If he knew that Song Xiyuan wanted to buy condoms, he might have done something earth-shattering and shocking. Wen Cai didn't have the mental capacity to bear it.
Song Xiyuan covered his lips and chuckled. After paying the bill, he said thank you, which made the little cashier's face turn red.
Wen Cai quickly picked up his things and strode towards the supermarket exit.
Who would have thought that just as he walked to the door, the manager's voice came from behind: "Mr. Song, please stay!"
The two of them looked back, but it was the manager who came up panting with a bag of things, handed the bag to Song Xiyuan, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Song, you two have spent a certain amount, this is our company's
Freebies provided.”
Song Xiyuan took it. Although he didn't look at it, the smile on his lips grew thicker: "Thank you."
Wen Cai felt that her scalp was numb. People were coming and going at the exit. She was really afraid that the manager would say something that she couldn't listen to. Fortunately, the manager just bowed and smiled: "Well done, you two. Welcome to visit again.
.”
Song Xiyuan nodded and smiled, took the bag from Wen Cai's hand, carried it in his left hand, and freed up his other hand to hold Wen Cai's hand, and walked back slowly.
After returning home, when Wen Cai put the fruits and vegetables he bought into the refrigerator one by one, he noticed the extra bag. When he opened it, he almost vomited blood - a pile of condoms!
She suddenly regretted it.
If I had known earlier, I would have been lazy even if I was beaten to death.
Wen Cai made steamed crabs for dinner, stir-fried two more vegetables, and made a soup. When he woke up his daughter to eat, the little girl was not very happy at first, but when she saw her favorite steamed crabs, she immediately became happy again.
Song Xiyuan opened the meat and fed it to himself, feeling very satisfied.
When Wen Cai was tired, he lost his appetite and put down his chopsticks after eating less than half a bowl of rice. Nannan didn't eat much as a child, so after she was full, she shrank into Wen Cai's arms and sat on the sofa watching cartoons.
Song Xiyuan's appetite was surprisingly good, and he sat there eating slowly. When Wen Cai finally went to clean up, he realized that he had almost eaten all the food.
She went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, and her daughter sat on Song Xiyuan's lap. One was watching cartoons and the other was looking at her mobile phone. The situation was extremely harmonious.
Nannan still couldn't fully understand the content of the cartoon, but she would often laugh out loud at the funny pictures and music. Every time at this time, she would look up at Song Xiyuan to see if he was laughing. Song Xiyuan would always laugh.
I laughed with her at the most appropriate time, and Nannan was so happy that her laughter became louder and louder.
When Wen Cai came out after washing the dishes, Nannan immediately called her: "Mom, watch TV with Nannan."
Wen Cai was really tired, but couldn't bear to ruin her daughter's fun, so she could only sit over. Who knew that Nannan insisted that she and Song Xiyuan sit closely together, and her small body insisted on occupying half of their arms?
Sitting on Song Xiyuan's lap, half sitting on Wen Cai's lap, he continued to watch TV happily.
Wen Cai sat there, slightly stiff at first, but gradually tiredness came over him and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Song Xiyuan was looking down at his email when he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his arm. When he turned around, he saw that Wen Cai had dozed off and fell on top of him.
He looked at her quiet, but tired face, and couldn't help but stretched out his other hand and caressed her face.
When she was with him three years ago, she was always in high spirits, had a good appetite for a while, gained a little weight, had an apple face, and was very cute.
But now, she has really lost a lot of weight, her apple face has turned into an oval face, and her eyes no longer have the same energy and excitement as before.
Song Xiyuan suddenly felt a burst of sour emotion in his heart, which made him frown slightly, and then withdrew his hand.
Nannan was tired after watching TV for a while. Song Xiyuan motioned for her to be quiet, then picked up the sleeping Wen Cai and walked back to the room.
Putting her on the bed and covering her with the quilt, Wen Cai's brows slightly furrowed due to fatigue relaxed a little, as if only in sleep could she truly relax.
Song Xiyuan looked at her quietly for a moment, then lowered his head and pressed a gentle kiss on her lips.
Wen Cai frowned slightly again, then turned over and calmed down again.
Because she was so tired, she slept so comfortably that her biological clock failed the next day, and she didn't wake up until nine in the morning.
There were signs of someone sleeping on the other side of the bed, but now there was no one there.
