Substitute

Chapter 4: She and breakfast

After a restless night, it was almost seven o’clock when Le Xi got up.

This was about half an hour later than her usual time to get up. After waking up from the bed, she rolled out of bed hurriedly, changed her clothes in a hurry, unscrewed the door and ran to the kitchen on the first floor.

After running to the kitchen, I realized that there were already people in the always deserted kitchen. A woman in a ballet practice suit is standing in front of the cooking table with her long hair crossed. She is holding a frying pan and frying eggs unskillfully.

The orange-red sunlight in the morning came in through the window, shining on the woman, casting a dreamlike color.

Le Xi stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Chi Chuji’s figure reflected in the morning light, and was stunned.

At this hazy moment, a picture flashed in her mind: In the ambiguous morning light, a woman who is also a ballerina used to make breakfast for her younger than eight-year-old herself in such a morning…

She lay at the door, peering at all the gentleness of the woman with her messy hair. The woman who was frying the eggs noticed her sight, turned her head and smiled softly at her: “Xiao Xi, go brush her teeth and wash her face, she will be able to eat breakfast in a while ”

She was lying at the door, her eyes kept unblinking, and she focused her attention on the woman.

At this moment, a tall female alpha walked to Lexi from behind, rubbed her little head, smiled and coaxed her: “The hair is messy, don’t you want to change clothes soon late…”

Xiao Lexi raised her hand and pressed her hair tossed by the female alpha, her small eyes filled with dissatisfaction. In the next second, she saw the female alpha pass her and walk towards the woman in the kitchen.

Alpha hugged the woman from behind and put a soft kiss on her cheek.

Very strange, because of that change, Lexi can hardly think of things related to his mothers. But in such a soft morning light at seven o’clock, she remembered the kiss again.

That one happened in the kiss between her two mothers.

Le Xi raised her hand to support the kitchen door frame and looked at Chi Chuji in the kitchen, her eyes unblinking.

Chi Chuji noticed her movement and turned to look at her with a faint expression: “Arise?”

The cold voice of the other party was like the cold water in the cold autumn season, awakening Le Xi’s dizzy brain. Le Xi raised her hand and rubbed her face, a embarrassing smile squeezed out on her face: “Well, get up…”

Lexi said, and walked towards the kitchen: “Sorry, you are at home today. I should have gotten up early to cook, but I got up late…”

She walked to Chi Chuji, wanted to take the frying pan in her hand, and said softly, “Let me come.”

Chi Chuji shook his head, turned the browned eggs in the frying pan, turned his eyes to her and said indifferently, “Have you washed it?”

Le Xi blinked and replied, “No.”

Chi Chuji looked at the dull hair flying around her head, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth: “Go and clean up, you are about to be late for school.”

Lexi hesitated: “But…” Your egg seems to be about to scorch.

Chi Chuji glanced at her, with unquestionable majesty in his eyes: “Hurry up.”

“Okay.” Le Xi nodded, got up and walked out. When she walked to the door of the kitchen, she turned to look at the soft and imaginary figure in the kitchen, curled her brows and smiled: “Thank you, then.”

After Lexi finished speaking, stepping on joyful steps, briskly walked upstairs.

After some washing, Le Xi combed her stray black hair neatly and draped it over her shoulders. She picked up her schoolbag and maintained the image of a good boy in the past, sitting on the other side of the dining table, looking at Chi Chuji on the opposite side.

She glanced at the slightly scorched omelette on the dinner plate, toast bread… reached out and picked up the bread, sandwiched the omelette in the bread, took a light bite, enduring the bitterness of toasting and the excessive saltiness of the salt. Wei, looked at Chi Chuji cautiously: “What do you think about making breakfast today?”

Sitting across from her, Chi Chuji straightened her back, holding Niu Shou in her hand, drinking slowly while replying to messages on her mobile phone.

Hearing Lexi’s questioning, Chi Chuji raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said faintly: “You are half an hour later than usual, I’m hungry.”

Because something happened when she first entered junior high school, Lexi was not used to having a particularly elderly beta woman in her family. Since the age of twelve, she has learned to make breakfast by herself.

Even after leaving the group, Chi Chuji would still get up at six o’clock every morning to go to the dance room on the second floor to practice leg presses to keep his whole body soft.

Her practice time usually lasts an hour, and Lexi usually wakes up at 6:30 and prepares breakfast at 7 o’clock. After the two have breakfast together, they will leave home for work.

Lexi, who was supposed to get up early, got up late because of ‘something”, so Chi Chuji shared her work, which made the shameful young man even more ashamed.

Lexi held the bread of the phone, lowered her head and took a bite, and said with great embarrassment, “I’m sorry, I won’t be like this next time.”

Chi Chuji raised his eyes and saw Le Xi’s self-confession look ashamed. A smile flashed in those eyes that always looked cold and arrogant: “It’s okay, this year is special for you, you You can sleep more.”

“I don’t have to ask you to make breakfast.”

Le Xi raised her eyes, looked straight at Chi Chuji, and said seriously: “Let me come. Didn’t you agree before, and you will allow me to do something for you.”

“So in the future, I will perform my duties well.”

Although Chi Chuji was willing to make breakfast for her, she was very happy, but she even hoped that in some aspects she could realize her “use” and “help” Chi Chuji.

A trace of surprise flashed in Chi Chuji’s eyes, but was soon overshadowed by the perennial indifference. She nodded whether or not, and responded softly: “Yeah.”

The corners of Le Xi’s mouth rose slightly, and she lowered her head to continue eating the toast bread.

Chi Chuji put down his phone and looked at the young man who couldn’t hide his gratification. His eyes were a little soft, and he paused and said, “But from now on, don’t go to bed so late.”

“At two o’clock in the morning last night, I saw that the light in your room was still on. You will learn to pay more attention to the time in the future.”

Le Xi was stunned for a moment.

She bit the bread, the shame in her heart turned into a crimson color, pouring from her chest, climbing all the way to her neck, face, earlobes… After a while, she was as red as a steamed prawn, embarrassed again cute.

She endured the scorching heat of her whole body, hurriedly took a bite of the bread, stretched out her hand to take the milk on the side, and after drinking several sips, she nodded in a daze and said: “Okay…Okay…”

Chi Chuji looked at the pink that burst out of her white and tender skin, couldn’t help smiling, and chuckled lightly. The smile was very short, like a snowflake falling on the fingertips, fleeting.

Lexi didn’t miss this smile, she was happy for it, and at the same time the shame in her heart became more obvious.

She drank the milk in a hurry, licked her lips, looked at the dinner plate in front of Chi Chuji, blushing and asked, “Do you still eat your breakfast? If you don’t eat it, can I finish it?”

“Last night…” Le Xi paused and bit the next sentence very hard: “Study is very expensive, I feel very hungry.”

Chi Chuji nodded indifferently: “Of course.”

She stretched out her hand, pushed her casual bite of breakfast in front of Lexi, and said lightly: “Eat more.”

Lexi took the plate very solemnly, and after thanking him respectfully, he ate all the rest of Chi Chuji’s food.

This was undoubtedly such a “delicious” breakfast that Lexi almost forgot the time for class and was unexpectedly late.

When she hurried to school on her bicycle, the morning reading class was almost over.

Zhao Sisi, who was sitting in the last row, was holding an English book and reading ABC. When she saw Lexi hurriedly enter the classroom with her schoolbag on her back, her eyes widened.

After Lexi gently pulled the chair and sat down, Zhao Sisi put the book on his face, dragged the chair and leaned against Lexi, who was sitting by the window on the right hand side. He couldn’t restrain his curiosity and began to ask: “You Why are you late today?”

After Lexi put down her schoolbag and took out the study materials and test papers she brought back yesterday, she pulled out the English textbook she was reading today from her desk, turned her head and replied to Zhao Sisi: “Overslept. ”

Zhao Sisi blinked at Lexi while holding the book, and grunted: “I also bet with King Daming that you are doing a good job and delaying school.”

Le Xi smiled faintly, and asked her in a low voice, “What did you bet on?”

Zhao Sisi grinned and replied: “One time on duty.” She said, pointing to Kong Mingque, who is the second to last position against the wall in the innermost side of the classroom, and said: “She bet you that your bike dropped the chain this morning. !”

After several positions, Kong Mingque still felt the sight from behind. She turned her head, her eyes lit up when she found Le Xi, and raised her textbook to greet her.

Le Xi smiled at her, but after a while she saw Kong Mingque glaring at Zhao Sisi, and signaled her not to talk nonsense. Zhao Sisi bared his teeth at her and put on a posture not afraid of her.

In the sound of Lang Lang’s book, the two began to wink their eyebrows, you stare at me and I stare at you.

Lexi thought it was so funny, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but rise. At this moment, a dark shadow flashed outside the window, and Le Xi turned her head subconsciously, and at a glance she saw the class teacher who was lying at the window staring at them.

When her eyes met, Lexi turned her head silently, picked up the English book and followed the students as she remembered. The next second she turned her head, the head teacher, who was lying in the window watching, stepped into the classroom from the back door and came to Zhao Sisi’s desk, raised his hand and knocked on her desk, and coughed slightly.

Zhao Sisi suddenly turned his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw Cai Yun, who was known as the smiling tiger, he was so scared. She managed to squeeze out a smile, trying to fool around: “Teacher Cai, good morning ”

Cai Yun glanced at her with a smile, and said amiably: “good1morning Student Xiao Zhao, I understand today, how can your eyes be so big that you can often become cross-eyed ”

“Teacher has really learned a lot today.”

Zhao Sisi: “…”

Lexi couldn’t hold back, and laughed out loud.

Cai Yun snorted coldly, turned to look at her, clicked on her desktop and said faintly: “Come to my office between classes.”

Lexi narrowed her smile and her eyes became sad and joyless: “Good teacher.”
