Jiang Qiao originally wanted to go to the kitchen to help with cooking, and if things got worse, he could help out, but as soon as he entered, he was kicked out by Cheng Ruoxi.
Her original words were: Just go ahead and do whatever you have to do, and don’t mess it up with your skill of eating instant noodles all day long.
Helpless, Jiang Qiao had no choice but to sit back on the sofa.
Episode after episode of Crayon Shin-chan is playing on the TV. This is Cheng Ruoxi's favorite animation.
Every night when she was alone at home, she would always move the quilt to the sofa in the living room on the first floor. The light on would illuminate the living room very brightly, and she would wrap herself in the quilt and watch Crayon Shin-chan.
Of course, Jiang Qiao didn't know this. In his impression, Cheng Ruoxi was undoubtedly a self-reliant woman who not only had good grades but also cooked delicious food.
Moreover, according to a classmate of Jiang Qiao No. 1 Middle School and a classmate of Cheng Ruoxi, male students from several classes downstairs often ran upstairs to use the toilet just to take a look at Cheng Ruoxi.
At that time, Jiang Qiao was still confused about whether she was so beautiful. We grew up together, and I didn't think there was anything special about this girl.
Sorry, I'm face blind and can't tell who is beautiful or not. Jiang Qiao said.
...
The sound from the TV seemed to be outside Jiang Qiao's world. When his consciousness woke up from the chaos, he realized that he had fallen asleep without knowing it.
At this time, Cheng Ruoxi was almost ready to cook, and the lively air was filled with fragrance and... small blue water droplets.
What's going on? Where did these water drops come from?
Jiang Qiao thought he was being deceived and rubbed his eyes. After repeating this several times, there were more and more water droplets in the air!
The water droplets are about the size of soybeans, floating in the air, and are completely blue.
The sunlight shines through the window on those water drops, giving it a clear and dreamy feel.
Their distribution seems to follow a certain pattern. They are relatively evenly dispersed in the air, but are extremely dense in places with a lot of water vapor.
For example, in a water cup, or on the fluttering lid of a pressure cooker.
Jiang Qiao couldn't help but touch the water droplets closest to him. When the water droplets came into contact with the skin of his fingers, they melted in quickly.
He immediately withdrew his hand as if on conditioned reflex, and watched as a strange light blue light appeared on his fingers, and then the light quickly disappeared.
Jiang Qiao only felt a little itchy, followed by subtle physical and mental relief.
This is another wonderful feeling, like two weeks of constipation finally clearing up, like a cerebral thrombosis that has lasted for more than 20 years suddenly unblocked.
What a strange change...
At this time, he saw the little black cat that had been lying on his lap also stood up, hunched over and jumped onto the coffee table, barking warily at the water glass.
Jiang Qiao fell into deep thought. He was not the only one who could see these wonderful changes in the air.
"Why are you so dazed?"
Cheng Ruoxi was standing at the door of the kitchen, putting on a pair of thick anti-scalding gloves and carrying a pot full of corn ribs to the dining table.
"Hurry up and bring me the food. It won't taste good if it's cold."
After Jiang Qiao heard this, all his thoughts were forgotten. He ran to the kitchen and followed Cheng Ruoxi to bring the dishes to the table.
A pot of corn ribs soup, a stack of stir-fried vegetables, a stack of stir-fried beef with green peppers, and finally a scrambled egg with tomatoes. Just three dishes and one soup.
"Hey, Sister Xi, have you seen..." Jiang Qiao pointed to the air. He wanted to ask Cheng Ruoxi if he had seen those blue water droplets, but when he looked up, he found that there were blue water droplets in the air.
There is nothing left, nothing left.
"What do you see?" Cheng Ruoxi was still placing the dinner plate in the appropriate position.
"Have you seen those water drops floating in the air before?" Jiang Qiao said in a different way.
"Are you still awake? There are no drops of water."
"Eat quickly, the food will be cold soon." Cheng Ruoxi handed over a pair of chopsticks.
Jiang Qiao said nothing more and took the chopsticks. The two sat face to face and started eating in the bright sunshine.
Jiang Qiao felt very emotional in his heart. Since his mother left, except at Cheng Ruoxi's house, he seemed to have never had such a rich and warm meal.
When a person is too lazy to cook, instant noodles, dumplings, bread and other fast food become his three meals a day. When Cheng Ruoxi sees him, he always complains that eating like this is not nutritious at all, but he will wave his hands nonchalantly and say
, I quite like to eat.
It seems that from that time on, Cheng Ruoxi would often bring some food over, or simply call Shang Jiangqiao to come to her house for dinner.
"Eat slowly, why are you in a hurry? There are so many dishes."
"Oh Jiang Qiao! I told you to slow down. You must be choking. Come and drink some water."
"Pfft... Look at the way you are reincarnated as a starving ghost, it's so funny hahahaha..."
"Jiang Qiao, it's up to you to take care of the rest of the dishes. You're not allowed to leave until we finish the work!"
.......
During this meal, Jiang Qiao swept away all four dishes, leaving no trace of grease behind.
Cheng Ruoxi expressed that she was very satisfied with this. First, she didn't have to worry about what to do with the leftovers. Then, nothing could express her praise for her cooking skills better than eating clean meals.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Qiao refused to give up the opportunity to wash the dishes no matter what. He blocked the door in front of the kitchen to prevent Cheng Ruoxi from getting closer.
"Jiang Qiao!" the latter didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you okay? Can you wash the dishes cleanly?"
"Don't worry, my sister Xi, even if the food is not as delicious as yours, why don't you let me have a specialty in washing dishes?"
It has to be said that Jiang Qiao is absolutely perfect when it comes to flattering him. This sentence made Cheng Ruoxi feel so sweet.
Smooth talk... The girl turned her back, smiled lightly, and skipped to the living room to feed the cat.
...
There are two trees planted in the yard of Cheng Ruoxi's house, one is evergreen holly and the other is red sycamore.
It's autumn now. The wind picked up two wrinkled leaves and blew them in front of the open door of the living room. One of them was blown to Cheng Ruoxi's shoulder. She was looking at Xiao Hei eating cat food and didn't notice it on her shoulder.
leaves.
After washing the dishes, Jiang Qiao quietly walked over and found the leaf, so he quietly took it off.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Ruoxi noticed Jiang Qiao beside him.
"It fell on your shoulder." The latter shook the leaf in his hand.
Cheng Ruoxi stayed for a while and sighed: "Autumn has arrived."
She was still squatting, supporting her chin with her hand, and said, "Jiang Qiao, do you think we can still have dinner together like this next year?"
...
Jiang Qiao was walking in the alley with his textbook in his arms. He couldn't remember how he answered that sentence, or whether he was silent.
He originally wanted to say when not to eat, but then he thought about it and realized that Cheng Ruoxi was talking about going to college.
They all have to go to college next year. Cheng Ruoxi has excellent grades and will have no problem entering the top 2 with his stable performance.
But Jiang Qiao doesn't have that strength. There are a hundred people wandering around in the city, so it's best to enter an ordinary key point.
...
Shaking his head and no longer thinking about these things, Jiang Qiao turned a corner and walked into the yard of his home.
However, he didn't notice that a small black figure appeared on the courtyard wall behind him.
