145 Taste the grapes I bought
Facing Jiang Xilin's teasing, Anglia Tongen was slightly stunned because he looked like a veteran despite his young age.
But she quickly reacted, pulled back, covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Your mouth is much stronger than Ondy, Hassanqi and Elode."
Obviously, Anglia Tongen is not that ignorant little girl.
She knew very well the purpose of this meal.
Therefore, the topic was easily brought to the Tong En Research Institute, and he was also compared with the other three junior arcanists in the institute. The meaning of praising him could not be more obvious.
If you are a young man who is not familiar with the world and is praised by his boss like this, you will probably become disillusioned.
But Jiangxi Lin is not.
He knew it well, but he didn't reveal it.
…
Lunch took almost two hours.
When Angria Tongen finished paying the bill, the two left the slightly messy table and left the restaurant.
Anglia Tong En planned to go back to the research institute and asked Jiang Xilin if he wanted to come with him.
Jiang Xilin declined at that time.
Just kidding, not to mention that he had already agreed with Vera to meet in the afternoon, and even if there was no date, he would not go back to work.
Although Anglia Tongen is the "boss", she is not evil-hearted, not to mention that today's holiday for Jiang Xilin was decided early in the morning.
Therefore, she accepted Jiang Xilin's polite refusal.
"Okay, you can have a good rest today. Come to the institute tomorrow and we will sign a new contract."
"Okay, President Anglia."
Jiang Xilin raised his hand and shook it, and the two parted at the door of the restaurant.
…
…
The afternoon light was a bit dazzling, and the cedars planted beside the street swayed gently in the cold and moist wind.
Jiang Xilin walked on the path covered with pine needles and tiny shimmering lights, walked to the door of No. 13 McDerlin Street, took out the key, and opened the door.
"Vera?"
Carrying a handbag, Jiang Xilin walked through the entrance hall and came to the living room.
In the empty living room, the three books I read last night were still scattered on the triangular coffee table next to the single sofa.
The heater was off and there was no fire in the fireplace.
Jiang Xilin casually put his bag on the sofa, and then looked through the kitchen, dining room, study room and bedroom upstairs.
I didn't find that familiar figure.
I guess I'm still on my way here. There's no instant messaging tool in this world, so it's really inconvenient.
"Would you like to design one?"
Jiang Xilin touched his chin.
When I was in Dongting City before, I had done a design related to "long-distance communication" for the Bright Arcane School.
Although no substantial results were produced until the end, the relevant ideas and ideas were already stored in his brain.
But if you want to actually make it, it is probably not easy.
…
When I turned on the heating at home and prepared to light the fireplace, I accidentally discovered that the slag was already full.
So Jiangxi Lin rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning up the slag.
After cleaning up, he loaded it in a tin bucket and planned to take it to the garbage collection point outside the house for dumping.
Just when he reached out to open the door, the door suddenly opened from the outside.
Warm and bright light shone diagonally into the entrance hall, and Jiang Xilin's eyes caught the sight of two long, shapely legs wearing pure black tight cotton trousers and dark brown sheepskin snow boots.
At the same time, a familiar voice said softly:
"There's so much slag again?"
Jiang Xilin put down the iron bucket filled with slag, clapped his hands, and moved his eyes upward.
Today, Abel Vera seemed to have specially put on makeup and dressed up.
I saw her not-so-standard oval face, her three-dimensional facial features, her eyebrows, and red lipstick.
The original long, slightly curly brown hair was balled up into a ball, revealing the fair and delicate swan neck and the faintly visible delicate collarbone.
She wore a dark blue wide-collar coat on her upper body, and a tight black velvet sweater underneath.
There was also a large bag of purple grapes in his hand.
Looking at the particularly beautiful Abel Vera, Jiang Xilin showed a fond smile on his face,
"It's cold, and the fireplace is burning frequently. You go inside first, and I'll come back after I've poured out the slag."
As he spoke, he picked up the iron bucket and walked sideways out of the door.
However, after taking two steps, he couldn't help but stop and look back, saying to Abel Vera who had already entered the entrance hall:
"By the way, I forgot to mention, you look particularly beautiful today."
Although it was not the first time that someone praised her beauty in person, when Jiang Xilin said such words, she always felt very happy and embarrassed at the same time.
"Okay, hurry up and pour out the slag. I bought grapes. After pouring them out, I'll come back and taste them to see if they taste good."
"Okay, why don't you wash up first and wait for me?"
Jiangxi Lin chuckled, but judging from Abel Vera's appearance, there was a high probability that she did not understand the connotation of his words.
…
When Jiang Xilin came back from pouring out the slag, Abel Vera just walked out of the kitchen carrying washed grapes.
Jiang Xilin dropped the tin bucket, ran quickly to the kitchen, washed his hands, and returned to the living room.
The glass plate with grapes was placed on the coffee table. Vera stood beside it, holding a white cotton towel in her hand, wiping the water stains on her hands and saying:
"Come and try the grapes I bought today and see if they taste good."
Jiang Xilin slowed down a little and walked straight in front of her.
Ignoring the grapes, he hugged her without any explanation and kissed her rosy cheek with light makeup.
Vera's slender arms were bent, and her palm holding the cotton towel was pressed against Jiang Xilin's solid chest. Her heart was beating like a deer, and she turned her head to avoid it at a loss.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Xilin, listen to me, you try the grapes I bought first to see if they taste good. If they taste good, I will do it next time..."
Facing the aggressive Jiangxi Lin, Abel Vera was retreating steadily, but was helpless.
She doesn't hate Jiang Xilin, on the contrary, she still has some vague expectations and likes deep down in her heart.
The avoidance is just out of reserve as a woman.
Bang, clang——
In the end, the two of them tripped over the coffee table and fell onto the sheepskin sofa stuffed with cotton. At the same time, the washed grapes on the coffee table also fell to the ground along with the plates.
Jiang Xilin leaned sideways and half-pressed Vera, looking at the grapes rolling everywhere on the ground and the broken glass plates on the ground, his expression indescribable embarrassment.
Especially at this time, Vera was still pressing her lips tightly and staring at him with hatred in her eyes.
"Um... Vera, don't be angry first, I'll go take care of it right away."
With that said, Jiang Xilin planned to get up and clean up. At the same time, he also blamed himself for being too impatient.
This is probably because I have become younger after time travel, and all functions and hormone secretions of my body are at their peak. I have also become more "interested" in some things that I felt were just like that in the past.
However, unexpectedly, Abel Vera suddenly hugged his arm,
"Forget it, you go take a shower first and I'll take care of it."
Jiangxi Lin sat upright with his half-pressed posture on Vera. At the same time, he vaguely felt some of Vera's emotions, so he pressed her thigh with his backhand and said:
"How about we wash it together and put these away later?"
"Ah? One, together?"
Vera's face instantly turned red into a big apple.
He probably had some pictures in his mind, which made Fei shy and waved his hand to refuse.
"No, no, no, I've already washed it when I came..."
"Come and rub my back after you wash it."
