Chapter 14
Chapter 14
Zhou Ru learned the skill of cooking mung bean soup from Lin Yue.
At that time, their tattoo shop had just opened, and they hadn't been transformed into what they are now by the vicissitudes of life, and they were very energetic when they got together.
Besides going to work, Lin Yue also suggested that everyone should enjoy life.
"For example?" Li Yuan raised his hand to ask, he was very interested in this proposal.
"Travel, movies, delicious food." Lin Yuepa counted to them with his fingers, "Don't we not work on Saturdays and Sundays, we can use this opportunity to organize."
"Forget it." Han Che sank into the sofa and sighed, "I have to catch up on sleep on weekends."
As soon as he finished speaking, he yawned casually.
Lin Yue was very speechless about this, and she didn't know why he walked and slept like a sleepy god all day long.
"Then there are movies and delicious food left." Li Yuan said, "I have a projector at home, so I can take it to the store to have a look."
"Okay." Lin Yue nodded, "If you say so, I still have a pot at home, so I can use it."
The two got together to discuss for a long time, and finally made up their minds to go to Zhou Ruyi to apply, and the plan was finalized like this.
Lin Yue is an impatient person, so she implemented it when she said it would be implemented. That night, she returned to the store with pots and pans and a lot of fresh ingredients, and made a mess of it.
In the end, the fragrance wafted all over the room, and even the people from the next door store couldn't help but stood at the door and looked in, thinking they had changed their careers to catering.
Lin Yue set up a small table, arranged for them all to sit in a circle, and picked up a spoon to serve a bowl for each of them, feeling a sense of accomplishment in her heart.
He even went to Zhou Ru and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Zhou Ru responded, and said, "Well, it's quite delicious."
"That's why." Lin Yue frowned, "You don't always eat food from outside in the future, the food you make yourself is so delicious, I feel that since I met you, I haven't seen a day when you didn't eat outside."
"I don't know how to do it." Zhou Ru curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled softly, "Just eat whatever you want to fill your stomach."
His tone was full of indifference and a little bit of frustration.
Lin Yue really couldn't understand her.
She had known Zhou Ru longer than Li Yuan and the others. It stands to reason that she should have a certain understanding of Zhou Ru, but she didn't.
All she knew was that Zhou Ru's family seemed to be quite rich, no matter what, this man must be considered a wealthy second generation, who should have lived a luxurious life.
No matter how bad it is, I won't come here to open a tattoo parlor.
At that time, she also asked insincerely, but Zhou Ru answered her just like that.
She said: "There is no reason, just open it if you want."
Lin Yue: "Okay, as long as you are happy..."
She sighed, out of consideration for Zhou Ru's health, she finally planned to speak to persuade her.
"Let me tell you something simple." She said, picking up a bag of mung beans and shaking it in front of her, "You can use this to make mung bean soup, which will keep you healthy and relieve the heat."
"Well, that's it." Zhou Ru nodded in response, not paying attention.
Lin Yue didn't give up, and continued to tell her: "It's really very simple, you just soak the mung beans in water, and when it's almost done, take it out and throw it into the pot and boil it on high heat. Even a fool can learn it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Ru raised her head and glanced at her inexplicably.
"No, I was wrong." Lin Yue quickly waved her hand, "I just want to describe the method as simple."
"Besides, after you learn it, you can make it for others to drink." She said, "Friends, family members, and partners."
I don't know which sentence touched her, but Zhou Ru, who was not very interested in it, was willing to learn it.
It should be soaked first.
Zhou Ru tore open the bag of mung beans, took out a small bowl from Xiang Yan's cupboard to catch water, and poured the mung beans into it.
After finishing this step, she regretted a little, and suddenly remembered that Lin Yue chased after her back to teach her how to cook.
It would be great if she could learn a few more at that time, so that she could make different ones for Xiang Yan to eat.
I can also see the little girl laughing and praising her happily, even if there is only one delicious, she is also happy.
Zhou Ru's intestines are going to regret it.
Xiang Yan was cutting carrots beside her at the moment, her technique was very skillful, every diced carrot was exquisite.
"Have you finished the preparations?" Probably seeing her from the corner of her eye, the little girl spoke softly, with a smile in her tone.
"Yeah." Zhou Ru responded, and simply leaned over to look at Yan cutting carrots.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" she asked. "I'm free now."
She really wanted to do something, so even her voice unconsciously carried some expectation.
However, Xiang Yan was busy chopping vegetables at that time, so she didn't understand the meaning of her words at all.
"No." She shook her head, and smiled at Zhou Ru, "You just make the mung bean soup, and I'll do the rest."
"I can peel potatoes for you." Zhou Ru said, and then moved a little closer, staring at Xiang Yan's profile with a pair of beautiful eyes.
The distance right now is very ambiguous, and Xiang Yan can smell Zhou Ru's body as long as she inhales a little.
Just like the time they reunited at the bar, what greeted them was a faint floral fragrance, clean and pure, very nice.
Although many days have passed, Xiang Yan still remembers that scene until now.
She remembered Zhou Ru's warm hug, she remembered her wiping her face, and she remembered the words of comfort she said softly when she was awakened from a nightmare.
I even remember the smile on her face and the temperature of her fingertips at that time.
Just like a dream, it filled her whole heart, so that she could re-dream that scene many times when she dreamed back at midnight.
Xiang Yan's heartbeat accelerated a little unconsciously.
Zhou Ru was still waiting for her answer at this moment, Xiang Yan was silent for a while, and finally reached out and put the scraper on Zhou Ru's palm.
"Then I will trouble you." She said, her voice was as sweet as honey, "It's been so hard, I'll give you a few more bowls of rice later."
"Yeah." Zhou Ru also responded, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth to smile.
"I'm just hungry," she said.
Seeing Xiang Yan's busy figure going back and forth, and smelling the peaceful and happy atmosphere, I feel hungry unconsciously.
It turns out that life is actually going to be like this.
Xiang Yan has learned to cook by herself since she was a child, and after so many years, her skills can be regarded as proficient.
Because there are only two people, she doesn't cook much. Two servings of curry, one plate of sweet and sour fish, and one serving of stir-fried vegetables are enough.
Put a few dishes on the table, and paired with two bowls of mung bean soup that Zhou Ru cooked with great difficulty, it looked very nice at first glance.
"Let's eat quickly." Xiang Yan has been sleeping since noon until now, and she is already hungry by now.
She went to the kitchen to get the chopsticks, and stretched out her small white hand to Zhou Ru, her eyes were full of joy and joy: "It smells so good, you should try it quickly."
"Okay." Zhou Ru nodded, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a ball of rice with sauce and put it into his mouth.
It's really delicious, the rich sauce and soft rice, even the potatoes and carrots are soft and glutinous, very fragrant after one bite.
It is not at all the same as the curry in the takeaway that Li Yuan ordered.
"Is it delicious?" Xiang Yan's voice came from the opposite side, waiting for her answer full of anticipation.
"It's delicious." Zhou Ru said, smiled lightly, and praised sincerely, "It's better than any one I've ever eaten before."
"It's not so exaggerated." Xiang Yan lowered her head and smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's just as long as you like it."
If you like it, I can make it for you often in the future.
She blinked, wanting to answer her like that.
But she knew that this might be her only chance, Zhou Ru would appear here now only because she was injured.
A little girl stood in the rain and cried through her nose, and her back was bruised and purple. She looked really pitiful. Zhou Ru couldn't stand it, so she came to take care of her.
Zhou Ru didn't really like being with her, she knew it.
Realizing this, the corners of Xiang Yan's originally raised mouth dropped unconsciously.
"Try the fish again." She said, not wanting Zhou Ru to see her strangeness, so she put vegetables into her bowl vigorously, "Eat more vegetables, too, it's good for your health."
"You always work so late every day, and you are busy all night, so you have to supplement your nutrition."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Ru raised his eyes and looked over.
Xiang Yan was taken aback by her look, and quickly explained to her: "Don't worry, I haven't used chopsticks yet."
She thought she thought she was dirty.
"No." Zhou Ru shook his head quickly, "I just want to thank you."
"Stop greeting me, and eat quickly yourself." She said, "You have worked hard this time, next time if there is a chance, I will make it for you."
There is even a next time.
Xiang Yan raised her eyes and looked at her in surprise.
"Why?" Seeing her looking at him like this, Zhou Ru couldn't help but curled up his lips and smiled softly, "Although I can only cook mung bean soup now, I won't stop in the future."
"You can tell me what you want to eat." She opened her mouth calmly, picked up the fish that Xiang Yan gave her and put it in her mouth, "I can learn it all."
As long as it is for you, I can learn anything.
After the meal, Xiang Yan took over the job of washing the dishes.
Zhou Ru really helped her a lot today, she already felt very grateful, so why would she have the nerve to let someone do the dishes again.
What's more, because of Zhou Ru's words, she is still happy until now.
"Go and drink some water." Xiang Yan said and arranged Zhou Ru to sit on the sofa, and then pushed all the fruits on the table in front of her, then turned around and prepared to wash the dishes in the kitchen to calm down, " It's late now, I'll finish washing the dishes and go downstairs to see you off later."
"Don't bother." Zhou Ru shook his head, "I'll just go by myself."
"No." Xiang Yan turned her head and said, her attitude was very clear, "I have to give it away."
It looks like a kitten with fur.
Seeing this, Zhou Ru laughed, nodded and said hello.
Only then did Xiang Yan feel relieved and went back to the kitchen to do the dishes.
It's getting late now, and even the aunts dancing in the square have gone home. The streets are sparsely populated, and the surrounding is surprisingly quiet.
Only the sound of water kept resounding.
Xiang Yan washed the bowl happily, and belatedly realized that it was too quiet outside.
She poked her head out of the kitchen to look at Zhou Ru. She wanted to tell her to watch TV first to relieve boredom, but before she could say anything, she realized that Zhou Ru had already fallen asleep sitting on the sofa in just such a short time. .
Her head was leaned back, pillowed on a corner of the sofa, her beautiful eyes were closed, and she was still holding the phone that she hadn't pressed off in time.
At first glance, he looked extremely sleepy.
Seeing this, Xiang Yan turned down the faucet, washed her hands carefully, went into the room and took out a small blanket to cover her body.
"I'm sorry." She whispered, with regret in her eyes, "I wasted your time today."
"I forgot that you have actually been working all night." She said, shaking her head gently, "I won't disturb you anymore, you can sleep well."
When you're done, get up and leave.
But before she left, Zhou Ru in front of her suddenly parted her lips and called her name in a low voice.
"Xiang Yan." She said.
Xiang Yan was taken aback by her, thinking she woke her up, she turned her head away quickly.
Zhou Ru on the sofa still had his eyes closed, and his breathing was very steady, showing no sign of waking up at all.
It turned out to be talking in sleep.
Seeing this, Xiang Yan laughed immediately.
It was the first time she heard Zhou Ru talking in her sleep, and she was a little curious for a while, so she quickly took out her phone from her pocket and pressed the camera button, intending to record this video and show it to Zhou Ru tomorrow.
Press the little red button, and the time jumps, slowly counting the time on the screen.
One second passed, two seconds passed, and Zhou Ru opened his mouth again in the third second.
But this time what he said was: "Are you still in pain..."
"Let me blow it for you."
Xiang Yan's nose soured when she heard this, and she almost couldn't hold her phone.
She silently turned off the video button, and stood in front of Zhou Ru without saying a word for a long while.
Something seemed to melt in my heart, and there was a voice in my head screaming, telling her that maybe you can get closer to her.
It's okay to hug her secretly, or just kiss her lightly.
Xiang Yan closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, then leaned down slightly, leaned in front of Zhou Ru, and kissed her gently on the side of her face.
