Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 58 The relationship between a man and a woman
When Zhan Ping arrived at Lai Hongtu's house, Lai Hongtu was sitting on the sofa in home clothes and watching the news. As soon as Zhan Ping came in, Lai Hongtu turned off the TV and put on a serious expression like an elder and was about to start educating her, but Zhan Ping preempted it and asked He said: "Do you have any makeup remover? My makeup is stained and I want to remove it."

Lai Hongtu felt that she was asking nonsense: "Do you think I am a person who puts on makeup? I have facial cleanser, so I can go to the toilet and wash myself several times."

Zhan Ping was a little unhappy. Facial cleanser couldn't remove makeup at all. Those ingredients remaining on her face would clog pores. She didn't want anything to go wrong with her face.

Seeing the dejected look on Zhan Ping's lips, Lai Hongtu sighed and stood up: "Come on, follow me out to buy some clothes. There's also a change of clothes. You can't help but change clothes in the summer, right?"

Zhan Ping then spoke: "Then will you take me to the hotel later? Just take your ID card, check out the room and throw me away."

"I'll sleep tonight after the study is cleaned up. You can sleep in my room." Lai Hongtu was really helpless to Zhan Ping, his little ancestor: "If I throw you into the hotel, I will be responsible for what happens to you."

Lai Hongtu drove Zhan Ping to go shopping. Zhan Ping followed him obediently. Perhaps realizing that she had caused him trouble, Zhan Ping restrained her sharpness for the first time and behaved like a little white rabbit in captivity. .

When arriving at the beauty store, Zhan Ping walked in and quickly selected what she needed. Lai Hongtu was waiting at the door. He had not changed his clothes and was wearing gray striped home clothes, which was a bit conspicuous here.

When Zhan Ping came out with the things, Lai Hongtu took the initiative to go to the cashier to pay. The little girl at the cashier was also talkative and said without thinking: "Sir, you are so lucky, your girlfriend is so beautiful."

Zhan Pingpan is pretty and has a good figure. She has been praised countless times since she was a child when she went out, but never once did she feel so embarrassed and wanted the other person to shut up.

Lai Hongtu was still calm. After he paid the bill, he gave the other party a meaningful look: "Do you think I can have such a young girlfriend? This is my daughter."

The cashier was shocked and changed his words: "You take good care of yourself, you can't tell at all."

After walking out of the store, Zhan Ping patted Lai Hongtu on the shoulder: "How come you talk nonsense better than me?"

"I'm trying to develop her imagination. She can't see a man and a woman walking together and think they're in love."

"You're talking nonsense. You're only a dozen years older than me. There's no way you can get a girl as old as me out. You're always trying to take advantage of me."

Lai Hongtu has a good attitude and is cheerful every day. He has no wrinkles or hair loss due to excessive use of brain cells. Zhan Ping sometimes looks at him and feels that he is too young and is no different from the boys of the same age around her.

Accompanying Zhan Ping to buy the necessary things, Lai Hongtu almost became her assistant all the way, driving, waiting, paying, and nothing else to do.

After returning to Lai Hongtu's house, Zhan Ping went to take a shower. Her underwear had to be soaked in water first, and then dried with a hair dryer. It was too troublesome to do this with pajamas, so Zhan Ping didn't buy them. Lai Hongtu lent her a set of his own. Fortunately, Zhan Ping had Gao Ye can live in it.Zhan Ping also bought a dress, washed it and dried it on the balcony, planning to wear it tomorrow morning. Although today's clothes will be washed and dry tomorrow morning, Zhan Ping didn't want to show up at school wearing the same clothes two days in a row.

Zhan Ping slept in Lai Hongtu's room at night. The two rooms in this house were actually very spacious, but Lai Hongtu had unfinished work and needed tables and chairs, so he gave her the master bedroom.

Zhan Ping smelled the delicious peach laundry detergent on the quilt and suddenly felt a sense of happiness.

She rarely lived with her parents since she was a child. After all, the aunt she hired at home was an outsider. She worked for money and only did everything at a passing level. Zhan Ping once hated going home. She used to envy Ni Manhua, who was popular in the family. , and when she went home, almost no one talked to her.

Lai Hongtu seems unreliable, but he is quite useful at critical moments. At least, he can chat with her when there is nothing wrong, and he doesn't mind her being noisy.

Just as he was thinking about it, Lai Hongtu knocked on the door and shouted outside the door: "Aren't you asleep yet?"

"Aren't you asleep too? What's wrong? Come and sing me a lullaby? Uncle." Zhan Ping's uncle shout was so provocative that Lai Hongtu smiled: "I came in without sleeping?"

After getting a positive answer, Lai Hongtu walked in and took a look at the temperature of the air conditioner: "The air conditioner is turned on so low? I'm catching a cold with the air conditioner on my bed."

"No, I'm anti-freeze. Wait for an air-conditioned quilt? Then what are you covering? A quilt?"

"I don't cover myself. I blow on the electric fan at night and cover myself with a quilt to keep it warm." Lai Hongtu glanced at the time and saw that it was getting late. He said, "Go to bed early. I'll ask you what you want for breakfast? You can do it tomorrow, Saturday." Go to bed late and I’ll go out to buy some.”

"I'm fine with that. I see there's a bag of daddy on your coffee table. I heard from my classmates that it's a specialty here. I haven't eaten it yet. How about we eat it?"

"That was a gift from my friend, and it was raw..." Lai Hongtu was a little reluctant, but after thinking about it he swallowed the words that came to his lips: "Okay, just eat it, go to bed quickly, I won't call you tomorrow morning .”

Lai Hongtu kept his word, and he did not call Zhan Ping the next morning. Zhan Ping was awakened by a huge "clang" sound when he was halfway through his sweet dream.

Zhan Ping was overtired the day before and was already mentally stressed. In her dream, she was being chased. Her whole body twitched reflexively, and Zhan Ping was so frightened that she tightened the quilt and huddled up.

After regaining consciousness, Zhan Ping found that she was not dead, and there was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound coming from outside. She quickly put on her shoes and ran out, and saw Lai Hongtu messing around in the kitchen.

"Old crazy! What are you doing so early in the morning?" Zhan Ping walked downstairs angrily. Lai Hongtu was also startled by her and almost lost his grip on the pot and dropped it.

Lai Hongtu turned off the fire and pointed at the pancakes in the pot with a frown: "I just tried to fry pancakes. This thing requires too much oil. It fried me just now, so I couldn't hold it in my hands." If it’s steady, the pot will fall.”

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier that you didn't know how to cook? I almost died in my sleep because of your fright!"

"No, I can cook. I can cook some stir-fried and steamed vegetables. I haven't done any cooking for a long time...and I've never fried pancakes..."

Lai Hongtu looked at Zhan Ping's extremely angry eyes, and his defensive voice became smaller and smaller: "It's only eight o'clock now. If you don't want to sleep, I will go out to buy something to eat later. Do you want steamed buns, dumplings or noodles?"

"I want to eat you!" Zhan Ping said angrily, lying down on the sofa, and then remained motionless like a dead corpse.

Lai Hongtu hurriedly took off the apron tied to his body, and then walked toward the door with small steps: "You have a rest, you have a rest. There is a breakfast shop at the entrance of the community. I will buy some."
