Chapter 135
Chen Pu used the navigation system. Wow, they were now in the suburbs and had to cross the river to go home. The traffic was very congested and red.
We drove to a road with fruit and vegetable picking gardens on both sides. Li Qingyao was leaning lazily and suddenly said, "Figs? I rarely see people picking these."
Chen Pu immediately stopped the car by the roadside, put his hands on the steering wheel, and asked, "Do you want to pick some? The road is jammed anyway, so it's better to go there at a different time. There aren't many of these things picked, so you can bring some home."
Li Qingyao was really moved: "Let's go!"
This was originally a farmer's orchard, and picking the fruit was just a side job to make some money. Chen Pu asked the price, and after saying it was okay, he took Li Qingyao's hand and walked inside. Li Qingyao was a little slow to react: "You don't even bother to bargain?" This kind of thing can definitely be negotiated.
Chen Pu held her hand in his palm, thinking that he hadn't held her hand for a few days. He smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, let them make some money."
Actually, Chen Pu still felt a little distressed - if he and his brothers came here normally, they would definitely bargain first. After all, in recent years, he would always ask if he could order less when buying vegetables at the vegetable market. But today, in front of Li Qingyao, he felt a little excited about meeting her after a long time, and their relationship was different from before, so he was inexplicably embarrassed to bargain in front of her.
But seeing her disapproving reaction, Chen Pu also regretted it - she shouldn't think that he is no better at living than before, what a mistake!
However, the fruits in this family are really good, all of them are plump and most of them are ripe. Chen Pu is not very interested, but he carries a basket and follows closely beside them, handing over the basket at any time and sorting it out by hand. Li Qingyao seems to be the one in charge, picking one on the left and one on the right very seriously, and soon he has half a basket full.
Li Qingyao pulled Chen Pu's arm and pointed to the top of his head: "That one looks big, I can't reach it, you come."
Chen Pu followed her hand and saw the fruit on the branch, then turned his head and looked back at her face. The light in the forest was half bright and half dark, but the slanting rays of light from the sunset made her face have a special luster. Her tone was plain, but with a natural pride. It was like this before, and it was still the same when she became his girlfriend. For some reason, Chen Pu felt particularly happy.
She wants fruit, so she must be given fruit.
Chen Pu's emotions slowly rose and fell in his chest. He put down the basket and suddenly stretched out his hands. He held her waist from behind and lifted her up easily. His voice was so low that it seemed to come from the wind: "Can you pick it now?"
Li Qingyao: ...
Li Qingyao was very embarrassed. She was no longer a child, and her girlish heart had died completely in those years. But Chen Pu's behavior was childish, yet calm; mature, yet silly.
She said nothing, but reached out and quickly picked the fruit.
Chen Pu put her back on the ground, picked up the basket with one hand, held her hand again with the other, and continued walking forward, saying, "Which one do you want to pick?"
"Let's see and then talk."
They walked deeper and deeper into the forest, and the light became much dimmer. There were only dense trees and yellow earth around them, as well as a dim sky, and no one was around. This gave people a very quiet and lonely feeling.
This kind of feeling is rarely encountered in the city. Li Qingyao also had some strange feelings stirring in his heart.
She said inexplicably: "Then can you pick me up with one hand?"
Chen Pu glanced at her.
The evening breeze gently blew the short hair beside her ears, and her eyes were shrouded in a layer of tranquility in the twilight. His originally passionate heart seemed to jump with the trembling of her eyelashes.
He thought to himself, I carried you on my back with one hand a long time ago, but you were too careless before, so you must have forgotten.
"You won't know until you try it." Chen Pu said, putting his left arm behind his back and stretching out his right arm, looking very elegant. Li Qingyao thought they were both a little funny now, but he still took a step forward.
Chen Pu hugged her around the waist. Li Qingyao only felt the strong arm tightly around her waist, and she was already flying into the air.
But she was a long person after all, and not easy to catch, so Chen Pu had to push her up, and ended up carrying most of the person on his shoulders.
Li Qingyao was afraid of losing her balance, so she quickly stretched out her hands and hugged his head. Chen Pu buried his face in her belly and laughed out loud. His left hand was still behind his back, and he took a few steps forward. Li Qingyao almost never screamed, but at this moment, in the orchard that seemed like a wild forest, there was only the wind blowing the leaves, rustling around them. Chen Pu held her up steadily and high, as if he was patiently coaxing a child, and she suddenly laughed and screamed.
Chen Pu had never heard her laugh so happily. It was as if there was a deep pool in his chest. With her laughter, waves of water rippled out and then overflowed. He finally changed his hands, held her firmly, and put her down. She slid into his arms, with a smile still on her face, and looked at him with bright eyes. Chen Pu put one hand behind her back and let her lean against the tree trunk. He put his other hand around her, lowered his head and approached her, and asked, "Did you raise one hand?"
Li Qingyao made his usual nitpicking: "It's OK, but it doesn't feel particularly stable, and the angle is not perfect."
"Cao, do you want a cow?"
Li Qingyao laughed non-stop.
Chen Pu stared at her, his face getting closer and closer, and neither of them smiled.
"Did you miss me?" he asked softly.
Li Qingyao didn't answer, but raised a finger and gently poked his Adam's apple. Chen Pu looked into her eyes and lowered his head to kiss her.
This was a completely different kiss from their first kiss.
Chen Pu seemed to be doing it on purpose, kissing very lightly and slowly, licking a little bit with his tongue, sucking slowly with his lips. He seemed to be tasting a rare glass of fine wine, taking light bites and pecking at it, leaving a long aftertaste. Li Qingyao thought he was really good at making trouble, and her heart was numb and softened by the kiss. But she would not let him go, and closed her eyes, gently touching his neck with one hand, and rubbing his ears with the other hand. Chen Pu held her lips and panted slightly, and the five fingers of the hand holding her waist slid up and down along the side lines of her body, bringing waves of tingling sensations.
After a long time, Li Qingyao pushed Chen Pu away, and there was a deep smile in his eyes: "I'm really dizzy, why are you picking figs? Let's go back to my house. Aren't you going to read Ye Songming's diary?"
Li Qingyao was speechless. Do you look like you are going to read a man's diary?
She looked at the basket and said, "How can this be enough for my family? Pick some more."
"No need to bring any more, just the two of us, there's plenty for both of us."
"No, I don't care about your family. I want to bring some to my parents. It's so fresh."
Chen Pu sighed deeply, picked up the basket with one hand, held her hand with the other, and continued to pick. But this time he might want to speed up the progress, so he quickly let go of her and picked the fruits quickly.
At this time, Chen Pu saw a big fruit on the treetop. Without waiting for Li Qingyao's instructions, he estimated in his mind that he must not embarrass himself in front of his girlfriend. Then he took a few steps to run, jumped up, and reached out with his long arms to pick the big fruit accurately.
Li Qingyao stared at his beautiful and smooth movements.
In fact, Chen Pu was much more lively that night three years ago, carefree and a bit boyish. But tonight, Chen Pu, who jumped in the same posture, exuded an indescribable calmness and restraint.
But it is still a very beautiful painting.
Seeing her staring at him in a daze, Chen Pu walked over and pinched her chin: "Are you impressed by my handsomeness?"
Li Qingyao shook his head: "It's just a little unexpected. I didn't expect that a 30-year-old still has residual agility."
Chen Pu corrected him seriously: "I'm only 29, and I still have 30 months to go before I turn 7."
"Aren't men's ages calculated by their lunar years?"
"Then I'm only 5 years older than you."
Li Qingyao chuckled, "That is to say, when you were in the second year of high school, I was only in the sixth grade of elementary school. When you think about it this way, do you feel that you are particularly shameless?"
Chen Pu was silent. He lowered his head and picked the largest ripe fig from the basket. He wiped it on his clothes, broke it open, exposing the flesh, and brought it to her mouth: "It's all my fault. Why don't you eat a fig?"
Li Qingyao was very satisfied with his immediate kneeling. Just as she was about to reach out to take the fruit, Chen Pu moved his hand away, indicating that he was going to feed her. Li Qingyao smiled and opened her mouth to bite it, but his arm moved away again like lightning, and at the same time, he lowered his head and bit her open lips. After tasting her deeply and repeatedly for a while, he said, "I am just shameless, what can you do to me?"
