Ye Qing's body trembled, but she did not break away from Ai Liang's hand.
He just shook his head slightly in protest, as if he was actively rubbing it into Ai Liang's hand.
Under Ye Qing's protest, Ai Liang retracted his palm.
But when he let go, Ye Qing felt a little reluctant.
Standard verbal and physical integrity.
"Ahem, since you have nothing to do, I will go back first. I have to go to work later."
Ye Qing coughed twice and was about to go home, pick up her work hat and go to the supermarket to work.
"Wait a moment."
Ai Liang called out to Ye Qing: "This is your share."
Ai Liang took out the double-layered lunch box from the kitchen, which contained the boiled meat slices on the table, plus a box of side dishes.
Ye Qing is responsible for buying groceries, and Ai Liang is responsible for cooking.
This mode of cooperation between the two has been maintained for some time.
"This... I've actually eaten out."
Ye Qing glanced at the lunch box with a confused expression.
She thought that since Ai Liang fell ill, she wouldn't bother to get up to cook tonight, so she just bought something to eat outside.
When school was about to end in the afternoon, there was no remote control of the rice cooker to cook rice.
I have to go to the supermarket to work soon, so it’s definitely too late to start cooking now.
Ai Liang's mind turned around and he roughly guessed Ye Qing's situation: "Can I eat enough if I eat outside?"
"Then I definitely don't have enough to eat, but it's too late to cook now, so I'd better wait until I get home from get off work at night to make some midnight snacks."
Ye Qing shook her head depressedly and reached out to take the lunch box handed over by Ai Liang.
Unexpectedly, Ai Liang retracted his hand and put the lunch box back.
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment. Before she could think about what Ai Liang meant, she heard him say: "Come in."
Come in?
Do you mean to let me in for dinner?
Ye Qing stayed where she was, looking at Ai Liang without blinking.
"Aren't you going to work in the supermarket soon? Why are you hanging around?"
After Ai Liang finished speaking, he went into the kitchen to prepare the dishes and chopsticks.
Ye Qing then walked into the living room as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Even when she sat on the chair, she still felt unreal in her heart.
Although Ye Qing had been to Ai Liang's house before, this was the first time we had dinner together like this.
Even though Ai Liang cooks for Ye Qing every day, they seem to have a very good relationship with her.
But in fact, there was always an invisible thick barrier between the two.
In other words, Ai Liang has been unilaterally avoiding others.
The only time Ai Liang took the initiative to invite Ye Qing to dinner.
I still made too much breakfast that time when school first started. I mentioned this again when chatting with Ye Qing.
At that time, in order to avoid embarrassment, Ai Liangshi asked Ye Qing to come in and finish the remaining preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
They said it was a treat, but you said you made breakfast yourself, and even made too much.
Don't you want others to try this?
Apart from this, he has never actively invited Ye Qing into his home.
Sometimes Ai Liang himself is cleaning up the kitchen waste.
The food for Ye Qing has been prepared and placed on the dining table in the living room.
Even if Ye Qing came to the door at this time, Ai Liang walked out of the kitchen, picked up the lunch box and walked to the door to hand it to her instead of letting her go in and get it.
There are only a few steps from the dining table to the door.
Ye Qing is keenly aware of this, so when getting along with each other, he will never take the initiative to intervene in areas that should be avoided.
For example, to celebrate Ai Liang's birthday yesterday, if Ai Liang didn't take the initiative to invite her in, she would find an excuse to put down the cake and birthday gifts and leave directly.
That extremely lonely Ai Liang actually took the initiative to invite me in for dinner today?
Could it be that the fever really burned out the brain?
Ye Qing couldn't help but have random thoughts in her heart.
She didn't think that a precocious person like Ai Liang would change his attitude just because someone celebrated her birthday.
There must be other reasons!
"Don't be stupid, go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Ai Liang's voice interrupted Ye Qing's random thoughts.
He filled a large bowl of rice and put it in front of Ye Qing: "There is still a lot in the pot, there is not enough to add more."
Ye Qing came back to her senses and looked at the large bowl in front of her that could be used to hold vegetables, and then at the small pocket-sized bowl in front of Ai Liang, which was no bigger than a palm. Her throat was surging as if she had something to say.
"It's better to skip the polite nonsense, you know I have a small appetite."
Ai Liang directly blocked what Ye Qing wanted to say in advance.
Ye Qing rarely quarreled with Ai Liang and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
By the time she finished washing her hands and returned to the dining table, Ai Liang was already eating by herself with a bowl in hand.
Ye Qing took two bites of rice, looked up at Ai Liang, took two more bites, and looked again.
Ai Liang put down his chopsticks and turned around to face Ye Qing: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"nothing."
Ye Qing immediately turned her head away, but her eyes were still tilted towards Ai Liang.
After eating like this for a while, she finally couldn't hold it back and expressed her doubts: "I feel like you have changed a bit today. Did something good happen to you last night?"
Ai Liang swallowed the meat slices in his mouth and said, "Are the changes obvious?"
"Is not this nonsensical."
Ye Qing immediately put down her chopsticks and said in a mother-like tone: "In the past, you always had a straight face. Facial paralysis is a euphemism.
In addition to your facial expressions, you also look at people with very cold eyes. You might think that others have some deep grudge against you.
Although there is no expression on his face now, his temperament is much softer than before, and at least his eyes are not as scary as before."
Ye Qing unceremoniously listed Ai Liang's shortcomings one by one.
Ai Liang listened very carefully to Ye Qing's opinion of herself.
The changes brought about by this qualitative change in ability were much greater than he imagined.
Ever since he was little, Ai Liang has become accustomed to his cold face and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
But now it seems that the past experience...or the influence of the gloom on him is a bit too great.
Ye Qing teased in a teasing tone: "What happened last night? Could it be that you finally figured it out last night and accepted that girl's confession?"
Ai Liang asked in a calm tone: "Isn't love the only thing that can change a person's character?"
"I would like to say that you won the lottery, but for a rich person like you, the small amount of money won by the lottery probably won't make such a big difference to you."
Ye Qing took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Is it possible that you also plan to have a spiritual self-sublimation like a superhero?"
Hero? Haha.
Ai Liang shook his head, showing a disdainful sneer.
He had seen too many heroes in Nevada City, but almost none of them met a good death.
Spiritual self-improvement?
Unfortunately, those criminals will first make your body sublime in a physical sense.
