Peach and Plum Do Not Speak

Chapter 114:

The sky is very blue, the sun shines through the lush branches, leaving patches of light, and the road is whitened by the sun.

Time passed silently, and the flowers on the roadside withered and bloomed again. Summer comes again.

“I’m going to pick up Anzhi today, you should get off work early too.”

That’s what Liu Yiyi told her.

Yan Xi stayed in the office until four o’clock and couldn’t sit still. He drove back to Yanzhai, went to the supermarket to buy fruit, and picked out a few more peaches.

The lilac flowers were blooming in the alley of the residential area of the villa. She drove the car into the house and parked it. There are many flowers planted in the courtyard, and the air is full of floral fragrance when the breeze blows.

It was lively in the living room.

Yu Shengnan has been pregnant for more than six months, and the weather is hot, so she recuperates at home. Sister-in-law Yan chatted with her.

I didn’t see Liu Yiyi and An Zhi.

Yan Xi stopped abruptly at the door of the living room.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

“Where’s the second sister-in-law?” Yan Xi asked.

“Oh, she has returned to the company.” Xiao Yutong replied to her inside.

“Then…” Yan Xi hesitated.

“An Zhi is talking with grandparents upstairs.”

“Oh…” Yan Xi lowered her head and pinched her fingertips.

Then she heard footsteps down the stairs.

Yan Xi stood in the hallway, with the slightly scorching summer sun behind him, and the cool air conditioner in front of him.

Half hot, half cool.

My heart is as dry as the sound of cicadas in my ears.

The girl standing at the entrance of the stairs had a pair of straight and bright white legs tucked together in light blue denim shorts, and only wore a short white T with a short upper body, revealing a white waist.

Her dimples moved as she stared at her with gleaming clear eyes.

Yan Xi froze for two seconds, raised his hand and pinned a strand of hair behind his ear, squinting his eyes. The wind with the fragrance of flowers blowing in the courtyard, Yan Xi looked over again.

She was wearing a white shirt, mint green wide-leg pants, and a silk scarf with light green and white dots tied around her wrists.

Standing there, the body is well-proportioned, like an oil painting.

The two stood there without speaking.

Like a close-up shot of a literary love movie.

The summer in the room is deep.

Xiao Yutong and Yu Shengnan were laughing constantly over there.

Xiao Yutong glanced here, got up and walked over, “Pfft, why are you two standing here stupidly? It’s like looking in a mirror.”

She walked to the kitchen: “An Zhi, cut some fruit and send it to grandparents.”

An Zhi moved, opened his mouth and said, “Okay…”

Yan Xi looked at her and said, “Sister-in-law, I bought some fruit.”

“What, is there a cantaloupe? Grandpa likes to eat that.”

“Oh, bought it, and… peaches.”

“…Go and bring it in,” Xiao Yutong entered the kitchen, his voice quieter, “An Zhi likes to eat peaches, and my aunt will wash one for you too.”

“Thank you auntie.”

“Oh, okay…” Yan Xi said and moved, still looking at An Zhi’s face.

The two looked at each other, as if waiting for the other to say the first sentence.

An Zhi lowered her eyelashes and bit her lower lip.

“Back… back?” Yan Xi’s lips twitched.

“Well… Auntie.” An Zhi raised her dimples and smiled at her.

The dinner was very rich, with ribs and lotus root soup, braised fish, cold belly shreds, hot and sour potato shreds, cold blue and white salad, garlic choy sum, pumpkin cakes and taro cakes, etc. on the table.

Yan Yixi rushed back and talked with An Zhi about topics that only the two of them understood.

“What subject did you choose?”

“3D paper-based microfluidic sensors.”

“Not bad. Many medical schools in Boston may really have breakthroughs in this area.”

Not far from them, Liu Yiyi frowned and asked Yanxi quietly, “Do you understand what they are saying?”

The corners of Yan Xi’s lips twitched, she rubbed her eyebrows, and shook her head.

“Hey… His serious nonsense is so sexy…” Liu Yi leaned on her cheeks.

Yan Xi was afraid that her eyes would be too obvious. Looking at her second brother, she inadvertently extended the length of her eyes.

“Well, I still have to take other related subjects, which are still unfamiliar.”

“When doing scientific research, all disciplines are related. You need to have a broader vision and communicate more with your supervisor, but you need to do your work well and be careful. When doing scientific research, you need to be careful and patient…”

“Well, the tutor is quite strict, but there is some accent, which sounds a bit difficult.”

“Can’t you understand?”

“No, it’s just… Matthew McConaughey’s accent.”

Yan Yixi was startled: “Who?”

“Pfft!” Liu Yiyi laughed, “Anzhi, please spare your second uncle, he only knows Marlon Brando.”

An Zhi pursed his lips and smiled.

“Who is this, famous?” Yan Yixi asked.

“Well, it’s **** and the show is good.” Liu Yiyi said.

Looking at the way they made fun of each other, An Zhi almost laughed out of his eyes, and turned his head into Yan Xi’s eyes.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Yan Xi turned away first.

The dinner table was still very lively. Yu Shengnan had a bad appetite and wanted to eat something heavier, but she felt tired after one bite. She had a big belly and was very troubled.

But she always looked calm and smiled, with Aunt Xin persuading her.

Junjun, who is already nine years old, is grabbing and pulling rice. He has grown very fast, his appetite has become much larger, and he is also very picky about eating. He doesn’t eat this or that. He is so angry that Xiao Yutong scolds him while serving him vegetables.

The familiar and lively atmosphere at the dinner table made An Zhi secretly bend his eyes.

It’s nice, this is her home.

Suddenly she was stunned and saw the tomato scrambled eggs on the dining table.

She picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and was immediately stunned.

is sweet.

She glanced at Yan Xi secretly.

He suddenly lost his words, and then his nose was filled with an inexplicable soreness.

“Oh, An Zhi, is it delicious? This is what your aunt cooked.” Xiao Yutong just saw her eating and said with a smile.

Everyone at the dinner table was surprised, and Liu Yiyi groaned, “Yan Xiaowu can actually cook?”

“Yes,” Aunt Xin sighed, “I finally learned a dish.”

“Tsk tsk tsk…I’m here to eat too?” Liu Yiyi said with a smile, took a mouthful of tomato scrambled eggs, and frowned, “Ah, why is it sweet?”

Yan Xi said lightly, “Just eat something sweet…”

“What kind of cult practice is this?” Liu Yiyi said, “It’s weird.”

“I think it’s delicious, and it’s good to put sugar occasionally.” Xiao Yutong also tried it, and gave Junjun a little by the way.

Yu Shengnan laughed and said, “There are places where scrambled eggs with tomatoes even put peppers…”

“Huh?” An Zhi and Yan Xi made voices in surprise, looked at each other, and exchanged inconceivable glances.

The smile in Yan Xi’s eyes deepened, and An Zhi’s dimples were deep.

An Zhi pursed his lips, lowered his head, simply took a spoon and scooped a few spoons into the rice, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Yan Xi didn’t speak, she ate less and drank porridge. The drooping eyelashes trembled, and the smile on his lips rippled slightly.

After eating, An Zhi volunteered to wash the dishes.

Aunt Xin: “Hey, hey, this child is still jet lag, don’t wash it, let me wash it.”

An Zhidao: “I’m here, I’ve washed it very well.”

Xiao Yutong smiled and said, “This child, when you are in the laboratory, Aunt Xin, let her wash it.”

Aunt Xin said, “Then I’ll help you.”

Yan Xi said behind him, “I’ll come…”

The others backed out, leaving the two of them in the kitchen. An Zhi washed it for the first time, the sink was full of white foam like cotton, she washed it and handed it to Yan Xi.

Yan Xi took it, washed it in clean water, wiped it dry, and put it on a draining rack.

They went back and forth, handed them back and forth, and the two didn’t speak, but they cooperated very tacitly.

“How many days are you staying at home?”

“Well… a week, and then back to school and there are classes.”

Yan Xi didn’t make a sound, and gave a soft “um”.

“I, I got my driver’s license.”

“Want to buy a car?”

“Lets see.”

The two fell silent again.

After a while, An Zhi said: “In the laboratory, the standard for cleaning chemical containers is ‘neither water droplets nor water left in strands’, so we will laugh at ourselves, if we can’t get the project in the future, at least we can get it. Washing dishes in a restaurant…”

Yan Xi: …

Then she chuckled, “Is the infiltration phenomenon?”

An Zhi looked at her with bright eyes. She took a clean bowl, took some water, and poured it out, “Look, there are no water marks, we washed it very cleanly.”

Yan Xi raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a smile, “It doesn’t have to be a laboratory standard every time you wash dishes…”

An Zhi blinked twice and stuck his tongue out at her.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her look so mischievous, Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, then squinted and smiled.
