Three girls were wrapping rice dumplings on the kitchen stove. They were all clever girls, and the shapes of the rice dumplings they wrapped were also different.
Li Xingruo was wrapped in a triangular rice dumpling. Although Liang Xi likes to eat sweets, she definitely prefers large meat rice dumplings. Her dexterous fingers flipped the rice dumpling leaves, and beautiful triangular rice dumplings came out one after another.
Zhong Qing made square-shaped rice dumplings, while she made sweet rice dumplings. Jiang Meng made cylindrical rice dumplings, which were meat rice dumplings just like Li Xingruo.
There are a lot of ingredients prepared, obviously not only for your own consumption, but also for giving to classmates or colleagues. The company also distributes rice dumplings, which are beautifully packaged, but the taste is hard to describe.
Lin Lu didn't know anything else, but he remembered that Li Xingruo was wrapped in a triangular rice dumpling, which he would eat later.
After washing the rice and turning on the switch to cook, Lin Lu also squeezed into the kitchen.
The three sisters standing from left to right are Li Xingruo, Zhong Qing, and Jiang Meng.
So Lin Lu could just squeeze in next to Li Xingruo. The kitchen in the small rental house was not big. After the four people squeezed in, their arms touched each other.
Although it was summer, the skin of Li Xingruo's arm still felt slightly cool against it. It was very smooth and comfortable when rubbed.
As Lin Lu's strong and hot arms pressed against her skin, Li Xingruo's heartbeat accelerated.
Everyone wears short-sleeves, and they usually wear short sleeves on their arms, but at this time... how is it possible!
They both want to see it...!
The two friends were on her right side, and Lin Lu was still leaning against her left arm. Their skin was so close to each other that they couldn't even put a piece of paper between them.
She was too embarrassed to tell Lin Lu not to come over, so she could only watch the eyes of the two sisters while pretending that nothing happened. This made Li Xingruo feel like a deer, which was both charming and exciting.
"Hey, classmate Lin Lu."
Zhong Qing on the right suddenly turned her head and looked over. Li Xingruo, who was secretly touching Lin Lu's arms, was startled. She immediately distanced herself, and with a shake of her little hand, the glutinous rice in the rice dumpling leaves came out.
"Um?"
Lin Lu looked very calm and turned around when he heard the sound.
Can you panic too! You act like I'm the only one in the world who has a guilty conscience!
Sure enough, the brother's heart has not changed, it's the sister's heart that has...
"I didn't expect you to be able to wrap rice dumplings? Do you know how to cook?" Zhong Qing asked curiously as Lin Lu wrapped rice dumplings in a stylish manner.
"I don't know how to cook, but I'm planning to learn."
Learn how to cook it for me to eat - Li Xingruo said in his heart.
"Wrapping rice dumplings can be considered a handicraft. This is actually my first time. I learned from Sister Xingruo and wrapped them while learning." Lin Lu said with a smile.
"You are very talented." Zhong Qing praised.
His skills are very good - Li Xingruo said in his heart.
Because he had a few words with Zhong Qing, when he came to his senses, Lin Lu didn't notice how Li Xingruo folded and wrapped the rice dumpling leaves, so he had to knock her shoulder and ask: "Sister Xingruo, how did you fold this?"
Both Zhong Qing and Jiang Meng knew how to fold, but they both wisely did not interrupt.
I thought that Li Xingruo would teach him carefully, and the two brothers taught him hand in hand, but I didn't expect that Ruobao took his rice dumplings, nudged him with his elbow, and whispered: "You go out and read a book, you wrap it up so slowly, the kitchen is too busy
It’s crowded, get out quickly..."
"Alright alright."
Lin Lu obediently went out to the living room.
After he left, Li Xingruo breathed a sigh of relief, and the speed of wrapping the rice dumplings immediately doubled.
Lin Lu sat on the dining table and chairs and looked towards the kitchen. The figures of three pretty girls busy in the kitchen were great.
The weather in June was already very hot. Zhong Qing and Jiang Meng were both wearing shorts, and Li Xingruo was also wearing shorts. The three pairs of white and greasy legs were very eye-catching. Lin Lu could easily tell which legs were the prettiest, naturally.
Sister Xingruo's is the prettiest, her legs are slender and white, her calves are slender, her thighs are fleshy, and her knees are tender.
Sister Xingruo's waist is also the prettiest, as is her hair, not to mention the material on her chest, and her appearance is a level higher than the other two seniors.
Being bored, Lin Lu wanted to take out paper and pen to draw them in the kitchen, but he was afraid that his preference would be too obvious, so he focused all the beauty in the picture on Li Xingruo.
So I had to take out my mobile phone and shouted into the kitchen: "Sister Xingruo, can I take a photo of you? To commemorate the time when you three sisters wrapped rice dumplings together!"
"Okay!" Zhong Qing and Jiang Meng naturally agreed.
Li Xingruo had no objection either.
"Do you need any poses? Remember to make the sisters' legs longer and more beautiful!" Zhong Qing and Jiang Meng reminded.
"Don't worry, his photography skills are very good." Li Xingruo was full of confidence in Lin Lu.
"Oh~! A boy who can take pictures!" For ordinary girls, this skill alone can add a lot of points.
Lin Lu found a good angle and quickly took photos.
After looking at the photo, he reviewed himself first. Even though he was taking pictures, he still couldn't help but prefer Li Xingruo. It seemed that the three girls were all in the middle of the picture, but Li Xingruo was at 0.618 of the golden section.
"OK!"
Lin Lu showed the photo to them. The three girls were not professionals, so naturally they could not see this little preference. They were very satisfied with the photo.
"Add WeChat and send the original picture!" Zhong Qing and Jiang Meng said.
"It's so troublesome. Lin Lu, just send me the original picture and I'll send it to the group again," Li Xingruo said.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and saw Mona Lisa's smile again.
The three girls worked together and quickly wrapped a pot of rice dumplings, some triangular, some square, and some cylindrical.
It takes a lot of time to cook rice dumplings. There is no big pot in the kitchen, so we have to cook them in two batches. Taking advantage of this time, Li Xingruo started to prepare lunch.
"Go out and wait to eat!"
"You really don't need help, Ruobao~"
"Oh, there's no other way. Those with the best skills have to do more work."
"Haha, that's true!"
Zhong Qing and Jiang Meng washed their hands and came out of the kitchen.
Lin Lu, like a master, cut the watermelon on the dining table early: "Senior Zhong Qing, Senior Jiang Meng, let's eat the watermelon!"
"Ruobao, your brother is so considerate!" the two women shouted towards the kitchen.
Lin Lu naturally did not forget his sister who was still busy in the kitchen and came into the kitchen with a piece of the best watermelon.
"Sister Xingruo, take a rest and eat a piece of watermelon."
"Oh, you can just eat, I don't have any time now..."
"I'll take it, you eat it."
Lin Lu insisted and put the watermelon in his hand to her mouth.
If it was normal, Li Xingruo would definitely have eaten. She first looked back at the living room, where two women were eating watermelon and looking at the photos on their phones that Lin Lu had taken with help from Li Xingruo.
Looking at Lin Lu again, all he could see was him holding a watermelon and smiling handsomely.
So she moved quickly, turned her head, opened her mouth, and took a bite of the watermelon. The sweet taste penetrated her taste buds, and her heart became sweet.
Just like this, she repeatedly looked at the living room, took a bite of watermelon, looked at the living room again, took another bite of watermelon, and then she slowly finished the piece of watermelon.
"Why, sister Xingruo is afraid of being seen by Senior Sister Zhong Qing and the others?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I just want to save them from misunderstanding."
"Isn't it normal for my brother to feed watermelon to my sister who is busy cooking? Is there anything to misunderstand?" Lin Lu was curious.
"Yes, it's normal. Anyway, as long as we have a clear conscience..."
Li Xingruo said, while his hands were busy cooking, and he turned to look at him standing there: "Why are you still standing here? The kitchen is very hot, get out quickly."
"There are two seniors outside. I feel a little embarrassed to stay here. I might as well come in and accompany Sister Xingruo."
"Humph, you don't know how to cook, why do I need your company?"
"I can learn. Didn't I agree that after I learn it during the summer vacation, it will be my turn to cook for you and then you wash the dishes?"
"You must not cook well~"
The two siblings in the kitchen were talking quietly, accompanied by Lin Lu, and listening to his words, the sweetness that had just been soaked in watermelon lingered in her heart, and the corners of her soft mouth also
It evoked a smile.
Time flies so fast, and before I know it, it is already the season for eating watermelon. The kitchen in the rented apartment is very small, with rice dumplings being cooked and vegetables being cooked on the other side. The only ventilation is the range hood.
Li Xingruo had already tied up his hair, but he was still sweating now.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose and forehead. The sweat flowed down the fair skin beside her temples and collected into a drop on her delicate chin. Occasionally, she would wipe it with the back of her hand when she had time. Her neck and collarbone were also moist.
Already.
Lin Lu folded a tissue and stretched out his hand to gently wipe the sweat from her face.
Perhaps his movements were too fast and too ambiguous. It wasn't until he finished wiping one side of his face that Li Xingruo realized that his face, which was already a little pink due to the temperature, now became more rosy and attractive.
Her eyes widened slightly, and before she could look back at the living room, Lin Lu whispered to her: "Don't worry, Sister Xingruo, Senior Sister Zhong Qing and the others didn't see it."
"..."
Is this considered to be something that has been taken seriously?
Please! Don't be so considerate! Don't worry about your sister's worries for your sister!
"I-I'm not afraid of this! It doesn't matter even if I'm seen. Isn't it just...my brother is wiping the sweat of his sister?" Li Xingruo also fought back and stole his lines.
Sure enough, Lin Lu was robbed of his lines and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Then Sister Xingruo is so panicked?"
"..."
The shy mood just now won't go away for a while. The heat can be blown away by the wind. How should I blow away this thought?
Li Xingruo felt that her face, palms, and soles of her feet were a little warm. She was convinced that she was really shy, so denying shyness would not work. She had to say in a roundabout way:
"I didn't see your tissue, so I thought you were brave enough to touch my sister's face!"
"How dare I!"
"Huh, you better be."
Li Xingruo breathed a sigh of relief as he finally maintained his dignity as a sister.
The sound of stools moving in the living room was heard, and the two siblings also cautiously distanced themselves. This kind of sneaky thing put pressure on their hearts.
Zhong Qing and Jiang Meng came over smelling the fragrance.
"It smells so good! Ruobao, please marry me! Cook for me every day from now on!" Jiang Meng said.
"Okay, then you can make money to support me." Li Xingruo agreed happily.
Lin Lu almost lost his eyes in fright. Does this mean the proposal was successful? Good sisters, don't upset me!
“Eat, eat!”
"It's time to eat! I'm so hungry!"
Zhong Qing and Jiang Meng were about to wash the dishes, but Lin Lu on the side had already taken the lead and took out the dishes and chopsticks to wash them.
Sure enough, the work that once belonged to best friends will one day be taken away by a man falling from the sky...
Fortunately, there is still the job of serving food, so Zhong Qing and Jiang Meng are responsible for being the serving girls.
Li Xingruo habitually washed the pots first after cooking. When she finished cleaning up the kitchen and came out, the table had already been filled with rice, and the three mouths waiting for food had already been seated.
"Eat first, why wait for me?"
"Hey, if Chef Ruobao isn't here, let's see who dares to use the chopsticks first!"
The dining table in the rented apartment was rectangular. Zhong Qing and Jiang Meng sat on the same side sensibly, and the only one left among the four seats was the one next to Lin Lu.
This position is also where Li Xingruo often sits, and he is used to it. Even in front of these two women, when he sat down next to Lin Lu, even his movements became more reserved...
There was no air conditioning in the living room of the rented apartment, only a floor fan. It was very hot at the moment, and Li Xingruo didn't know which one of the three of them it was, so he thoughtfully moved the fan to the side close to her.
"Clink a glass! Happy Dragon Boat Festival~~" Zhong Qing raised the orange juice in her hand.
"Have a good Dragon Boat Festival~~" Lin Lu and Li Xingruo and Jiang Meng also raised their glasses and clinked them together.
Although it was just a small gathering of four people, the lunch prepared by Li Xingruo was already very sumptuous, with five dishes for four people, all delicious and delicious. If he could marry such a girl home, it would be worth a fortune.
"I said, classmate Lin Lu, you are sitting closest, why don't you give us Chef Ruobao some food?" Zhong Qing said with a smile.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Zhong Qing, for reminding me!"
Lin Lu suddenly realized it. He usually used to pick up food for Li Xingruo during meals, but now he knew that his sister was embarrassed to be too close to him in front of friends, so he didn't pick it up.
We usually eat shoulder to shoulder, but now we keep a reserved distance.
After Zhong Qing reminded him, Lin Lu hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope, scraped off the tenderest fish belly with a spoon, and put it into Li Xingruo's bowl aside.
"Oh, you can just eat..."
Lin Lu had obviously never spoken to the two of them alone, so why did he suddenly appear to be united? Li Xingruo was not to be outdone, and also arranged dishes for Lin Lu, Zhong Qing, and Jiang Meng in order of seats from near to far.
Demonstrates his attitude of keeping a bowl of water evenly!
What? The Sixi meatball given to Lin Lu was the biggest? How could she know!
The four of them finished their meal in a lively manner and put away the tableware together. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
The first pot of rice dumplings was not cooked yet. Lin Lu couldn't wait to get out of the pot before eating. He left the cat for his sisters to play with. He stood up and said goodbye: "Sister Xingruo, senior Zhong Qing, and senior Jiang Meng, you guys play first."
Son, when the time comes, I have to go home and review."
"Hey, the first pot of rice dumplings is almost ready. Why don't you go back and read after you finish eating?"
"It's okay to eat later. I have to review from two to five o'clock. Sister Xingruo has made a plan for me."
"Oh, well, since it was your sister Xingruo who arranged it for you, you are right to listen to her!"
Zhong Qing and Jiang Meng looked at Li Xingruo and laughed, the meaning in their eyes was obvious: 'Ruobao, it seems that you have trained your brother very well~!'
'No! It's Lin Lu who is very motivated! You two stinky women, stop talking nonsense!'
Li Xingruo rolled his eyes at them, stood up and went to open the door for Lin Lu.
"Then you go back and read a book first. When the rice dumplings are ready, I will send them to you." Li Xingruo spoke to him in a low voice.
"I want triangular rice dumplings. I can't eat anything else." Lin Lu also reminded her in a low voice.
"Why are you so picky!"
Li Xingruo had a look of disgust on his face, but he couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart. It seemed that he was really successful as a sister. Even when eating rice dumplings, his younger brother only ate his sister's rice dumplings.
"Then I'm leaving."
"Don't think you're lazy because I don't have time to supervise you, study hard!"
"Know it."
Li Xingruo opened the door for him, Lin Lu walked to the door, turned back and waved to the two seniors on the sofa: "See you next time, seniors."
"Come on!"
Two of Ruobao's best friends made a cheering gesture with him.
It's just the direction of the gesture...
If Lin Lu understood correctly, he was asked to... cheer for their Ruobao?
