The issue of transferring to another school has been put on hold for the time being, but the decision to determine the outcome through mock exams has not changed. Fang Ronghan had no choice but to devote herself to more intensive review than in the past.
The daily drive has become an unavoidable time for the two sisters to spend time together. Fang Ronghan has to spend thirty minutes with Su Mingzheng when setting off in the morning and returning home in the evening, while Su Mingzheng needs ten more minutes to go to the company alone. During the hour they spent together every day, the two of them didn't exchange a few words in total. What Fang Ronghan remembered was probably the second day of the ride together, when she took out the pre-made word card and prepared to make full use of the car. I was stopped while memorizing words at that time.
"Don't you have to study on your own soon? You don't need to act like you're working hard in front of me just because I'm speaking for you. This method has long been frowned upon in the company, and it's just one of the ways to flatter someone."
Deliberately pretending to be busy in front of the boss, this method is so common that Su Mingzheng feels embarrassed for the employees acting every time she sees it.
But Fang Ronghan felt a little innocent. She just wanted to study harder.
"Get some sleep. I'll call you when the time comes." Su Mingzheng gave the command forcefully.
Fang Ronghan was almost forced to sleep. She couldn't resist the urging of Su Mingzheng's eyes. She closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly. When she woke up, she suddenly saw the school gate in front of her.
When Fang Ronghan stepped into the campus, she was still a little confused. How could she sleep so well?
As a result, I didn't wake up until I was about to enter the classroom, but it was just because I went to bed too late last night and stayed up too late. After getting up early, I couldn't help feeling that my spirit was always a bit tense. I closed my eyes and fell asleep so deeply. It's also because it's so quiet in the car, or because I'm so used to the scent.
So after that, Fang Ronghan got in the car and closed her eyes to take a nap. Su Mingzheng stopped talking coldly and quietly watched the financial news on her mobile phone or rested by herself. No matter early morning or dusk, the two of them were about Living together like this.
To Fang Ronghan's surprise, at about nine o'clock in the evening, Su Mingzheng knocked on her door. When she opened the door, Su Mingzheng's first words seemed to be a continuation of yesterday's topic: "Are you hungry?"
Fang Ronghan, who had been immersed in a book since dinner, was really hungry at this point, so she nodded frankly.
"Wait a minute." Su Mingzheng, who just poked his head in, stepped back.
After a while, Su Mingzheng stuffed in a white porcelain plate and added a mug.
After looking at the things on the plate, Fang Ronghan took a step back and said, "Come in and sit down."
As an elder sister, Su Mingzheng also walked into her sister's room without ceremony. She turned her head and looked around, pursed her lips, and commented in her heart: So barren. Except for the sheets and pillowcases, which are new and should have been prepared by the Su family's servants, Su Mingzheng knew that the table, chairs, and bed were always in stock, because this room was originally used as a guest room, and the rest of the supplies were old and tattered wooden bookcases. , there are a few textbooks inside, an ugly acoustic guitar on the bookcase, the lamp next to the desk is also old, and there is a small coffee table, but the floor is empty. Except for the chair used by Fang Ronghan, Su Ming Zheng couldn't find a place to sit.
After shopping around, she declared to Fang Ronghan seriously: "When you are free, we will go shopping and buy everything at once."
Su Mingzheng glanced at the wall, "You don't have any decoration on the wall. Does this still look like a room?"
Fang Ronghan really didn't expect this. In the past, her family rented a house, and they had to move every time the landlord raised the rent. She never had the idea of decorating the room, so she only kept as few household items as possible and had basically complete living functions.
In Su Mingzheng's eyes, these are: tasteless.
She looked at the sister in front of her again, wearing a white T-shirt with cartoon patterns and gray cotton shorts, which was extremely tasteless. Of course, there are thousands of people who dress like Fang Ronghan at home. Fang Ronghan still has a relaxed and energetic temperament when she wears it. It is not a problem to go and shoot a small advertisement for a sports goods store. But every set of Su Mingzheng's pajamas is from a well-selected brand name. Even if she doesn't take the sexy route, the cut and material are of high quality, making her look like an angel whether she wears her hair down or wears it loosely. She looks natural. Don't go with what my sister is wearing.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that Fang Ronghan always felt that after taking off her makeup, her eyebrows looked too thin, and she looked a little weird without the eyebrows.
There was nothing he needed, so Su Mingzheng simply went back to his room to move it. She brought over a fluffy cushion and a soft chair suitable for lazy bones.
Of course, the lazy guy only used it for himself. When Fang Ronghan knelt down on the cushion, Su Mingzheng forcefully handed over the plate.
On the plate was toast cut into small pieces. Two pieces of white and tender toast were stacked on top of each other and cut into quarters. Fang Ronghan picked up a small cube and immediately realized that this was no ordinary toast, with jam spread in the middle.
There was steaming black tea in the mug. Looking at the wafting heat, I took a bite of toast. The taste of strawberry jam spread in my mouth. It was not the cheap sweet that you often eat in the market. It was sour, sweet, and translucent. It has a natural berry aroma, and there are still some fruit pieces. It is paired with soft toast with a fresh milk aroma. It is really a refreshing food suitable for filling the stomach at night, and the jam toast is still lukewarm.
What's special is that the toast is not trimmed. Fang Ronghan thought that high-end toast would be trimmed when she ate it, because when she was a child, she went to a high-end bakery to ask for toast trimmings as snacks, or even for breakfast when Huang Wanying forgot to leave money. .
Fang Ronghan deliberately took a bite from the edge of the toast, and tasted a hint of burnt aroma and a stronger wheat flavor.
"I like to eat toast." Fang Ronghan couldn't help but reveal her hobby.
Su Mingzheng raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "I like it too."
"Good toast bread should be delicious even on the sides. Don't you think the sides are particularly chewy?" Su Mingzheng boldly took a bite of the toast in her hand and continued talking while chewing without any regard for etiquette. , "This toast is made by a mysterious hermit. There is a limit of ten pieces per day. I asked Hua Ma to send someone to buy it. The water is from the cold spring on the mountain, the bread is baked in a traditional stone oven, and the firewood is longan wood. , can you eat it?"
Fang Ronghan smiled and shook her head. It was indeed delicious and delicious. She just thought: It's delicious.
"The jam is handmade from self-grown strawberries in an organic farm on the same mountain. The water and soil are in the same place. It smells good, right?"
"Is it limited edition?" Fang Ronghan asked with a smile.
Su Mingzheng nodded seriously, "And it's limited every year. If you can't get it, you'll have to come back next year. I asked Hua Ma to help me track the farm's website to seize the time when the jam first goes on the market."
"It's not easy to be a servant in this family..." She had to do both traditional housework and online information. Fang Ronghan thought of her mother for a moment, who seemed to only know the most common housework.
"What do you mean by this family? You are not from this family? Hua Ma is different from others. She is considered the foreman. Our family does not have a housekeeper, so the foreman is the eldest. The salary will not wrong her." Su Mingzheng explained.
Fang Ronghan swallowed the toast and drank the black tea quietly. What she focused on were the first two sentences of the person in front of her. She couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at the young sister in front of her. She didn't know if she was just saying this to refute herself.
The older sister, who had a show-off attitude, was satisfied after introducing the delicious food, while the younger sister didn't know what to say. The two simply immersed themselves in eating until they had finished eating the four cubes.
As neatly as when she came, Su Mingzheng picked up the porcelain plate and planned to leave. Of course, she would not wash the plate herself, but would just throw it into the kitchen sink.
Fang Ronghan was still a little confused at this point. She didn't know why she suddenly appeared? It wasn't until Su Mingzheng said before leaving: "Don't embarrass me." She finally realized that she was here to supervise Qin Xue.
Of course she didn't know that in addition to supervision and encouragement, Su Mingzheng discovered a kind of fun called "feeding". Feeding delicious food into the mouth of a little white rabbit makes people feel happy when they look at it. What an unexpected sister. New uses.
So the next day, Su Mingzheng returned to her old ways and brought raisin whole-wheat buns to Fang Ronghan's room. Of course, the lazy bones and cushions were not moved back at all.
The wheat aroma of European-style bread is more intense. The small round bread is elastic but not loose. The raisins embedded inside are plump and sour and sweet, which adds to the fun of eating bread and makes the taste richer and more diverse. The bread is paired with a slightly sweet malt brewed drink, which is full of energy that can revitalize people.
Because Su Mingzheng didn't know how to cook, she had to choose bread as a late-night snack, and then heated it slightly to make it warm. However, Fang Ronghan also discovered that bread has a variety of flavors, and a little bit of difference creates a completely different taste. The same flour ground from wheat is used as raw material. Due to cultural differences, the bread produced is diverse.
However, while eating the delicious food, Fang Ronghan slowly felt a little uneasy.
How can one repay such kindness? She never expected that Su Mingzheng would keep bringing late-night snacks over like this, she just thought it was an occasional whim.
I know that I can't stand on an equal footing in front of the other person, and I can't repay the kindness that the other person has given me. The kindness she received in this strange big house made her feel inexplicably complicated and awkward. Fang Ronghan has not been used to others being kind to her unilaterally since she was a child. She can only accept kindness from others when she can repay it.
So when Su Mingzheng introduced this raisin whole wheat bun without being shy, Fang Ronghan inadvertently let the words slip out of her mouth.
"You will definitely gain weight if you eat like this every day..."
The words he murmured were more like a small, unsteady complaint. In fact, he wanted to save the other party from such trouble. But before Fang Ronghan said the next sentence, Su Mingzheng immediately felt Su Mingzheng raise her eyebrows.
Under the sharp sword-like gaze, Fang Ronghan immediately lowered his head and finished the bread obediently in small bites. Watching Fang Ronghan finish eating, Su Mingzheng stood up quickly, making a gust of wind, reached out to grab the plate and left.
It wasn't until she approached the door and was about to step out of the room that Su Mingzheng softened her eyebrows and said slowly:
"I just thought, my mom used to do this when I was in high school..."
Without allowing Fang Ronghan to say another word, she resolutely turned around and walked away.
Such behavior made Fang Ronghan heartbroken. Of course, this was Su Mingzheng's original plan. Humph, he should be hit for daring to refute this young lady's kindness!
What Su Mingzheng said was not false. The reason why she suddenly became interested in giving snacks to her sister while she was studying hard was because she remembered that in high school, her mother always cheered for her like this. In order for her sister not to embarrass herself, she must give it to her. She got good grades in the exam, so she thought of this kind of "encouragement".
It's just that the recipient didn't know what to do. Su Mingzheng immediately decided to give up the game and won't play if he said he wouldn't play. Su Mingzheng threw the plate on the stairs and didn't even think about walking down the kitchen. She clapped her hands and went into her room.
Let's not talk about how complicated Fang Ronghan's mood was when she almost broke the plate the next morning.
Su Mingzheng returned to the room and lay down on the bed. She stared blankly at the ceiling, slowly inhaled the air into her lungs and exhaled it. Whenever she thought about what happened two days later, she felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart. It comes out, and you hate yourself and the world. This kind of emotion will come out if you can't control things in the world.
There was no one else here, otherwise she would just stare at the ceiling in a daze, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her whole body relaxed and soft, so that no one who saw her would recognize that she was Su Mingzheng. I don’t know why, but even though there was an expression of disgust on his face, he unexpectedly showed a fragile side.
