In an old rental house, there is a square hydrangea table in the center of the living room. 禕
Wearing insulated gloves, Yu Qingxue brought a pot of stewed fish soup to the table together with the soup pot.
Her eyes still met the reserved-looking Jane sitting next to her, who smiled shyly.
"Wait a moment, there are two more dishes, they will be ready soon." Yu Qingxue said and turned back to the kitchen and closed the sliding door.
She put her hands on her chest and pressed her apron, and muttered to Yu Zhesen, who was helping to chop onions and pound garlic: "You didn't tell me that I was entertaining guests tonight."
"I didn't expect that either..." Yu Zhesen smiled awkwardly.
"Isn't your luck with women too good? You can pick up a cute girl in the blink of an eye." Yu Qingxue complained.
"It's a colleague... Xiao Jian is the director of the Information Management Section of the Security Bureau. By the way, she was the one who called me last night to ask me to borrow money. She lives alone nearby and has a very tight life."

Yu Qingxue put the sliced eggplant into the pot and chatted with Yu Zhesen amidst the sizzling sound of oil: "So you kindly invited her to dinner? You are such a good person. Do you know what I hated about you before?"
Yu Zhesen was stunned for a moment: "Before? You hated me? Did you mean when you first came to Qidao City to investigate me? Did you hate my bad attitude... or was it somewhere else?"
Yu Qingxue pursed her lips: "No, didn't you notice that I was relatively cold towards you for a while? It was when I just learned about the relationship between you and An An."
"I remembered."
"I hate your sentimentality. Even though you are already married, you still treat other women well and show them gentleness and kindness."
"Is this considered sentimental?"
"It will cause misunderstanding." Yu Qingxue flipped the shovel and started cooking. "Everyone is used to the reality of this world. No one will be nice to you for no reason. Once you show too much kindness to others, it will be easy to let them
A misunderstanding occurred."畕
Yu Zhesen put the chopped green onion and minced garlic in a small bowl and brought it to Yu Qingxue's convenient location. He leaned against the kitchen counter and pretended to think for a while, then "suddenly realized" and said: "Oh! I understand, then Teacher Yu
Is this why you like me?"
Yu Qingxue rolled her eyes at him fiercely, and almost wanted to hit him with the cooking shovel: "Nervous, how can you draw inferences like this? I will not fall in love with someone just because I accepted a little kindness." "Is that because I saved you that time at the abandoned water purification plant?" Yu Zhesen stopped joking. He really wanted to figure this out.
"In my opinion, a life-saving grace should be repaid with a life-saving grace, not with a physical promise." Yu Qingxue replied seriously, "I like someone because there is something shining in him that attracts me.
, not because he once saved my life. Similarly, even if you were very resistant to my investigation and contradicted me at every turn, I would not hate you because of it. When I hate you, it is more because of some of your
Disadvantages."
Yu Zhesen asked: "Then can you like someone and hate him at the same time?"
"Okay." Yu Qingxue smiled lightly.
"I can't understand it." 禕
"My liking is not about people, but my dislike is about things and not people...Bring me a plate, and the more you like, the more strict you will be. I hope the person you like will become a better person." Yu Zhesen silently handed over the clean empty plate and watched her put the fried minced pork and eggplant in shovel by shovel. For a while, his head was empty and he didn't think about anything. He was in a state of complete relaxation.
"Okay, take this plate out first, I don't need your help here."
Yu Zhesen came to his senses when he heard Yu Qingxue's voice, but did not immediately follow her instructions to carry out the dishes.
He scratched his cheek with his fingers in embarrassment: "I have known for a long time, Qingxue, that you are a very serious and dedicated person in everything, which also makes me a little afraid of you...maybe in your opinion
It is something that should be done as a matter of course, but it is very difficult and troublesome for me. Including the words you said to me on the road today about life..."
Having said so much, what he wanted to express is actually very simple, and can be simply summarized as "knowing your mistakes and never correcting them."
He realized a long time ago that the world is realistic and cruel, and that advanced civilization and technology cannot benefit everyone indiscriminately.禕
After returning to the Security Bureau and experiencing a series of incidents, Yu Zhesen will inevitably have doubts about the Iron Dome Order.
But just like Moses' advice before leaving, he didn't dare to have any outrageous thoughts yet.
It is unimaginable for one person to fight against the order of the entire world. Even with all the magical powers of the Platinum Age exoskeleton armor and time heart that surpass the current technology, Yu Zhesen does not think he can do it.
And he has always had a kind of reverence for his parents in his heart, almost willing to blindly believe that the order they heroically sacrificed for is great and noble, at least it was great and noble in the beginning.
Since he is unable and unwilling to fight against the world and order in which he lives, he can only treat his life with an attitude of being content with the status quo.
People who are always confused have fewer worries and are more able to experience happiness.
Yu Zhesen thinks that the way of life like Yu Qingxue is too screwy and cannot change the environment anyway. He prefers to forget his lofty ambitions and responsibilities and only care about the people and things around him. 禕
After saying this, he felt anxious that Qingxue was angry with him. After all, a serious and strict person like her would definitely not agree with his evasive remarks.
However, after Yu Zhesen waited for a long time, Yu Qingxue's expression never changed.
After she listened carefully to Yu Zhesen's speech just now, she didn't say anything, but calmly put the last dish of fried tofu with green onions into the pot as usual.
Yu Zhesen couldn't hold it in any longer: "Don't you want to refute me?"
"You think I should refute you, which means you know in your heart that what you just said is unreasonable." Yu Qingxue laughed.

"Isn't this just like doing business, asking for a lot of money and then paying back the money." Yu Zhesen shrugged helplessly, "If you refute me, then think of a compromise."
"Then I won't refute you. You want to rest for a while, right?" Yu Qingxue looked over with an understanding smile.
Yu Zhesen said in surprise: "Are you using mind-reading skills on me again?"
"It's really not this time." Yu Qingxue shook his head, "You told me yourself. What you said and your expression all conveyed to me that you need to rest. The battle in the previous period was too tense, and there will be
This kind of thinking is human nature, and I don’t want to take a good rest."
Yu Zhesen looked apologetically and said, "In the end, I got you involved... I have to come here to take care of Xiaoyan's child after get off work."
"For me, this is the best kind of relaxation. After all, I am away from the dangerous combat environment and busy work." Yu Qingxue's answer was beyond his expectation, "Don't you think so? Or,
Do you want more comfort?"
In a sense, Yu Qingxue's guess was right. Looking at her graceful profile, Yu Zhesen had a strong thought in his heart. He wanted to hug her now.
But reason told him that this was a bit too polite. Even if Yu Qingxue had made it clear that she liked him, their current relationship still had not gone beyond the boundary of friends.
If she asks for it now, Yu Qingxue will definitely not refuse. 畕
But what about after a hug? Do you feel satisfied, or do you want more?
Relying on his strong will to swallow back the request that came to his lips, Yu Zhesen picked up the plate of eggplants that she had fried: "I will take the dishes out first, so that Xiao Jian and Xiao Yan will not wait too long."
As soon as he turned around, he heard the sound of a spatula hitting the edge of the pot from behind, and then a pair of hands hugged his waist from behind.
"I'm sorry," Yu Qingxue apologized softly, "your expression just now made me very curious, so I couldn't help but read your thoughts. Forgive me... Is this what you want?"
At this moment, Yu Zhesen didn't have any intention of blaming her.
While being grateful, he reminded worriedly: "Qingxue... the tofu is going to be burnt..."
