Chapter Twenty-Three: Crooked
He Jiping didn't know if she was really moved, or if she had another purpose, after the bonfire party, she really invited Yiruo Kucker to participate in Chen Tianyu's dinner invitation. It can be seen that Yiruo is still a little hesitant, but he can't stand the repeated instigation of his friends and reluctantly agrees.
Maybe He Jiping wanted to see Chen Tianyu's embarrassment, and he didn't want this man to lead his girlfriend to invite them to eat roast mutton generously, and the location was chosen as "people's de barbecue on the hillside".
This is the place where Chen Tianyu and the two came for the first time, the familiar smell of mutton wafts all over the house, the wind outside is strong but it is extremely warm inside, and this feeling is even worse after the stove rises.
The four of them sat facing each other, Chen Tianyu deliberately chose the opposite side of Yiruo, since he came in, he consciously stared at each other, and felt more and more that this woman had a unique charm: she was different from Ji Ping, her skin was as white as snow, her skin was round and could be blown and broken, her eyes had long eyelashes, her eyes were crystal clear and slightly shining with blue light, and her hairstyle was also very unique, whether it was in terms of dress, facial features or hand and neck accessories, she was full of strong exotic style.
Close observation gave Chen Tianyu a completely different perception, but one thing remained the same: Yiruo's eyes were indeed filled with imperceptible melancholy.
Such a budding girl in the flower season, what is her incomprehensible mind?
He Jiping sarcastically mocked him unceremoniously: "Hey, if you look at it again, your eyeballs are going to fall off!"
Chen Tianyu was not ashamed at all, his eyes were calm and calm, but Yiruo's cheeks unconsciously flushed with a hint of redness, which looked more and more charming.
"Everyone has a love for beauty. Chen Tianyu said lightly.
He Jiping glanced at him, and then at Liu Zichen, who was unmoved.
"I'm curious, why is your girlfriend so calm?" she seems to be a person who has come to fan the flames, and she can't wait for the two of them to pinch each other.
Liu Zichen actually smiled slightly: "I can't control him, besides, I'm just his girlfriend, not his wife, it's not good to care so much." ”
He Ji Ping and Yiruo both looked at her face in the same way, trying to see the traces of her lying.
But not at all.
Yiruo didn't speak the whole time, and then she suddenly covered her mouth and smiled.
"You two are so funny!" Yiruo spoke Chinese very well for the first time, completely unaccented.
After she spoke, the originally slightly embarrassing atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, which made Chen Tianyu quietly breathe a sigh of relief, to be honest, he is not particularly good at dealing with women, let alone three women. Who knows what could happen? But apparently not.
Yiruo ordered a pot of butter tea, the eating habits of the locals here are biased towards Tibetan areas, Chen Tianyu tasted it, and frowned secretly, although the tea is hot, it is not delicious, and it has a strange taste.
"You're probably not used to drinking this tea. Yiruo didn't know why, but he was quite willing to speak at this time, "But this tea is our holy tea here, and I still have a ...... specially sent from the Potala Palace at home."
Liu Zichen's heart suddenly moved, she actually felt that this girl was a little pitiful, this is an indescribable feeling, from extremely resistant to talking to people, to finding a person who can't help but speak, it is the characteristic of a certain type of person, she suddenly felt soft in her heart.
"What kind of thing is ghee?" Liu Zichen asked curiously, "I heard that it can be drunk and used as an oil lamp, which sounds quite incomprehensible." ”
Yiruo smiled for the first time, and it was even more amorous: "My butter tea can be eaten anyway, and it can also be used to light lamps for the gods, and I don't know about other people......"
He Jiping explained with interest: "In fact, in the past, there was only one kind of ghee, and the best ghee was extracted from yak milk, and some were extracted from ordinary milk and goat's milk, but they were not as good as yak ghee. Ghee is originally oil, and of course it can be used to make ghee lamps. ”
"Oh, what about now?" asked Liu Zichen.
He Jiping said: "It's different now, there are more and more tourists, there are more people doing ghee business, and many temples have deliberately increased the number of butter lamps. ”
Liu Zichen understood a little: "So, the current butter lamp uses a substitute?"
"It should be, it seems to be vegetable ghee or something, so it's better not to eat it. He Jiping nodded.
Liu Zichen smiled: "It's really a long knowledge." She also tasted a few sips, and thought it was quite delicious, I don't know if it was a psychological effect or how, after learning that the raw material was yak milk, the taste and taste changed.
Chen Tianyu interjected: "So, you still raise yaks at home?" He was a little puzzled, there seemed to be no grassland in Lugu Lake.
Yiruo shook his head: "What our family doesn't have, it's all Alas Wu came back from outside......"
Chen Tianyu didn't understand: "Uh...... "He thought the other party had made a mistake.
He Jiping laughed: "Alas, Wu is her uncle, it's not surprising that you don't understand, after all, there are still a few who understand Mosuo culture." ”
"Oh. Chen Tianyu realized, "So that's the case." ”
"She has a lot of oos, so the yak ghee will not be out of stock. He made a joke with Ji Ping, "If there is money in the family......
Yiruo's face was slightly red, but she also nodded calmly.
Chen Tianyu thought to himself: "Isn't it true that rich people won't get married?" But in front of the three girls, it was definitely not appropriate to ask.
He thought for a moment and said tactfully, "Yiruo, do you have a boyfriend?"
Before Yiruo could speak, He Jiping was already looking at him with strange eyes, as if he was smiling.
Chen Tianyu hurriedly said: "I'm just asking casually, you don't have to answer...... I'm curious by nature, and I always think that a pretty girl like you should have a boyfriend or something......"
He Jiping ruthlessly exposed him: "Come on, do you want to ask how marriage works?...... Knowing that you have come to the Mosuo area now, you still don't tell the truth. ”
Yi Ruo also looked at him with wide eyes, and Chen Tianyu was also at a loss at this time, this and Ji Ping are really not good birds!
Fortunately, Liu Zichen solved the siege in time and said: "Actually, I also want to know what the custom of walking marriage is, it is very difficult for us modern people to understand, I heard that this is a matriarchal society?"
He Jiping was slightly stunned, she was obviously confused by Liu Zichen's bizarre generosity, this should not be the reaction of a normal Han woman.
"Ji Ping, you don't have to look at me like this, Tianyu is not that kind of person, I know very well. Liu Zichen smiled, "I feel very happy to chat with you, so we might as well get straight to the point, after all, the girl's suspicion is heavy, and Tianyu is clumsy, which is easy to cause your misunderstanding." ”
"Ah......" He Ji Ping nodded, "I said, I always want to trick me, thinking I can't see it, hum...... It's too underestimating me. ”
"Sister, I think they're all very good. Yiruo suddenly spoke, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come." ”
He Ji held her breath and said: "It's a person, you feel good, that Xiao ......" She suddenly stopped talking and changed her sentence in a daze, "Be careful." ”
Chen Tianyu didn't know if he understood, but when he saw this, he immediately changed his mind: "Since everyone already knows each other, then I might as well tell you and Yiruo the truth, if I really want to meet Yiruo, someone has already arranged it for me tonight......"
He looked over to Iro, observing her reaction.
Yiruo's face was puzzled at first, but after a while, she opened her mouth suddenly, she subconsciously hid it, she seemed to remember something.
"It's me, alas?!......" said Yiruo in horror.
