49. Desserts

After playing for a while, Ai Xin looked at the time, and it was almost over.

Before this party, Li Man told her that because Tong Yu and Jinghai had scandals before, and the new drama was about to start, the paparazzi may be following closely during this time, so they can only move in groups, and they can't play too late.

Ai Xin expressed her understanding, even if she didn't have the last oolong, she didn't want to make entertainment headlines with anyone in the house at all. After all, many experiences, once in a lifetime is enough.

"I'll go get the dessert out. She stood up, and without waiting for anyone's opinion, turned and went to the kitchen.

"Suya. Jiang Xixi called out to him, "How is Pepe's doing?"

"You didn't reply to me, maybe you're still recording. Suya shrugged.

Today coincides with the day of Pepe's recording, although he said that he would come over when he was over, but it is also common to record until the night. After all, Pepe has become popular in recent years, no more than Suya, and has entered retirement ahead of schedule.

Jiang Xixi sighed, Wu Yin also filmed today, and she couldn't catch up. If Li Man hadn't been by her side, she might not have attended the dinner, after all, as an actress, avoiding suspicion comes first.

"Here we are. Ai Xin took the big dinner plate, carefully descended the steps, and put the plate on the coffee table.

There were six or seven small white porcelain bowls on the plate, and the contents looked rather dark and cloudy.

"What is this?"

Jiang Xixi looked at the contents of the bowl with some disgust, and before Ai Xin could speak, Su Ya had already picked up a bowl and drank it.

"Teacher Su!" Ai Xin laughed, looking at him pretending to be angry.

"It's been a long time. Suya put down the bowl and touched the back of her head embarrassedly.

"Huh?" Tong Yu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Su Ya, and then turned his head to look at Ai Xin.

"This is red bean soup with taro balls, peanuts, and cabbage balls. Ai Xin picked up a bowl and put it in front of Jiang Xixi, and made a "please" gesture.

Watching Li Man pick up the bowl, Jiang Xixi also took a bite of it. Sure enough, it was delicious, with chewy ingredients in the sweet sugar water, and the crispy peanuts also had a unique flavor. Jiang Xixi had eaten such a dessert before, but he couldn't remember where he ate it for a while.

Jinghai and Tao Li both drank a bowl, they didn't think it was amazing, it was probably just an ordinary dessert.

Tong Yu sat in place, looking at the small bowl in front of him, not moving.

"What's wrong?" Ai Xin turned his face sideways and looked at the strange Tong Yu.

"Nothing. Tong Yu waved his hand, picked up the small bowl, and ate spoonful by spoonful.

Jiang Xixi looked at Su Ya with some surprise: "Haven't you always disliked sweets?"

"This one is different. Su Ya didn't explain, just looked at Jiang Xixi with a mysterious expression.

"Little Ai Xin. Suya narrowed her eyes and looked at her with an innocent smile.

Ai Xin laughed, got up and took out two insulated bags from the refrigerator, and returned to the sofa.

"I've already packed it for you. She smiled and handed one bag to Su Ya, and the other bag was pushed on the coffee table and placed in front of Tong Yu.

Jiang Xixi turned his face and looked at Li Man, as if he wanted to get an answer from her.

"This is the characteristic of Su Ya and Tong Yu's hometown. Li Man took a look, she had been lucky enough to eat before, but not in the dessert shop.

Jiang Xixi nodded, and his deep eyes examined Ai Xin's body again. Before today, she had also thought about how Ai Xin won Tong Yu. Now she felt that she should think about how Tong Yu won Ai Xin.

"Well, let's go first, then. Li Man glanced at his watch and looked up at Ai Xin: "I've worked hard for you today." ”

Several people also nodded and stood up. Tong Yu lifted the insulated bag and glanced at Tao Li, who was still sitting on the ground.

"Big brother. Tao Li stood up and looked at Tong Yu funny, "Don't worry, I'll leave as soon as I'm done cleaning up!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone laughed and looked at Tong Yu. He frowned and looked at Ai Xin embarrassedly: "Then let's go first." ”

"Well, stay safe on the road. Ai Xin smiled and sent the group out of the door.

"Whew. Tao Li leaned back on the sofa and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ai Xin sat on the carpet and stretched out tiredly.

"Drink more?" Tao Li raised his glass and looked at Tao Li defiantly.

"You might as well have two more bowls of rice. Ai Xin laughed and drank the red wine in one gulp.

The two of them drank in silence for a while, and Ai Xin finally sighed, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at the curtains in a daze.

"Tired, aren't you?"

"Hmm. Ai Xin nodded.

"So tired, do you want to continue?"

"What if you don't continue?" Ai Xin raised her eyebrows and looked at Tao Li, "I finally have a hope." ”

Tao Li shook his head, and finally held back what he wanted to say. How could he not know how tiring it is to love someone, for him, he doesn't even have the courage to persevere, how can he be qualified to dissuade Ai Xin.

"Huh. Ai Xin suddenly laughed, drank another glass, and looked at Tao Li: "Haven't I been too angry lately?"

"It's okay. Tao Li looked at the dishes on the table and looked up at her, "How long have you been making these things?"

"A week. It's so hard to cook, I haven't done it before, I've always cooked it, or it's not chewy enough. Ai Xin sighed, "Fortunately, he loves to eat." ”

"Now that I think about the food you used to cook for me, it was really perfunctory. Tao Li kicked her in dissatisfaction.

"Be content, don't I eat too?" she rolled her eyes, looked at the small bowl on the table, and couldn't help but pick it up and take a sip.

Still a little too sweet...... Ai Xin sighed and put the bowl back on the coffee table.

After a while, Tao Li spoke again, and his voice sounded a little empty in the room.

"You'll regret it. He looked at the oil painting on the wall, "He, I don't like you that much." ”

Ai Xin looked up at him: "He likes to be thin for nothing, so I will lose weight." He likes long hair, so I'll keep it long. He likes to be quiet and laugh, so I don't talk. ”

After a pause for a few seconds, Ai Xin smiled: "I'm just surprised, I can't feel whether he likes me or not?

Tao Li was stunned and stared at Ai Xin in front of him. He suddenly remembered that many years ago, she was like this, sitting in the hospital staring at the doctor, saying things like this.

"I'm surprised, I don't know if I'm sick or not, do you need to tell me?"

It's been several years, and that image is still engraved in Tao Li's mind for a long time. Ai Xin's slightly raised chin, the stubbornness on his face, and the helplessness in the depths of his eyes were all the same as at that time.

"What time is it?" Tao Li suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Hmm. Ai Xin glanced at his phone, "It's past ten o'clock." ”

Tao Li laughed, and poured wine into Ai Xin's cup again.

"It's a long night. ”

"yes. Ai Xin nodded, also looking at the oil painting on the wall.
