The price of the goods was quickly counted by the cashier, and Qiao Anning hurriedly paid the money first.

Ye Huaijin came out with two large bags of things, and only let Qiao Anning hold a bottle of big Coke.

Qiao Anning's face showed a sense of relief.

"You seem to be happy?" Ye Huaijin looked at her strangely.

"Yes, of course I'm happy to come out and play!"

Qiao Anning doesn't like to take advantage of others materially, she is afraid of letting the other party suffer, although she and Ye Huaijin are already boyfriend and girlfriend now, but in her subconscious, Ye Huaijin's relationship with her is still different from her relationship with her parents.

She was unable to interact with him regardless of gain or loss, and she could not accept all the benefits he gave her, which was different from the peace of mind when she accepted the care given to her by her parents.

She turned her face to look at Ye Huaijin, her anticipation shone brightly, and she spoke to him in a delicate tone: "I'll bake it for you later, okay?" I haven't grilled it myself, it seems to be fun." "It's intimate and different from usual.

"Okay. Ye Huaijin was infected by her smile, "Then I'm ready to sit back and enjoy it." ”

"No problem!"

Qiao Anning grinned.

......

"Ahem, ahem, ahem. ”

The oil dripped into the burning charcoal fire, and a puff of soot floated, and Qiao Anning choked on the smoke, squinting his eyes and crying.

Ye Huaijin hurriedly walked over and pulled her away, and took her to a place where the smoke couldn't float and stand: "Why are you so stupid, you don't know how to hide when you see smoke." ”

Qiao Anning wanted to wipe his eyes, but before his hand touched his face, he was grabbed by Ye Huaijin: "Don't move, your hands are full of dust." She took out the wet wipes she had prepared and wiped her face.

She looked at him with tears in her eyes: "I thought it was very easy to do this, it was easy to watch those people at the barbecue stall operate before." ”

Ye Huaijin helped her wipe off the ashes on her face, and said helplessly: "They want to make a living from this, how can they not be skilled?" and asked her again, "Try it, can you open your eyes?"

Qiao Anning tried to open his eyes, his eyelashes were wet and sticky to his lower eyelids, and he could only see a vague black shadow: "I can't open them." ”

Ye Huaijin sighed: "Don't move, I'll help you blow it." ”

Feeling Ye Huaijin's approach, the faint smell of tobacco lingered in front of her nose, and he gently blew into her eyes, the force was very light and gentle.

Qiao Anning slowly exerted himself and blinked twice.

Ye Huaijin's face gradually became clearer.

He was still carefully examining her eyes, watching as she slowly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled silly.

"What's wrong?" he asked all of a sudden?" he asked.

Qiao Anning told the truth: "You are so good-looking. ”

Ye Huaijin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "Like my face?"

Unexpectedly, the topic suddenly ran here, although she started it, Qiao Anning was still very embarrassed. She hesitated when she looked at Ye Huaijin waiting for an answer, but only for a few seconds, and after a few seconds, she chose to face her heart honestly: "Well, I like it." ”

Ye Huaijin smiled and took her hand and took her to the chair next to her to sit down: "Then shouldn't I be glad that I have a face that you like." ”

Qiao Anning looked up at him, and the tails of his eyes narrowed slightly: "Women are actually very superficial creatures, although they may not say it in their mouths, but they actually like good-looking men, because handsome guys are very pleasing to the eye." ”

Ye Huaijin raised his eyebrows: "It's the same with men." ”

Qiao Anning smiled and raised her hand to do what she had always wanted to do.

Ye Huaijin watched in surprise as she poked her index finger at her face, and her fingertips poked a little above the corner of her mouth on the left side, revealing an unknown expression.

"I've wanted to do this for a long time. Qiao Anning kept laughing, "You know what, when you laugh, this ......" She gently poked Ye Huaijin's face twice more with her hand, "There is a small pear vortex, which is very cute." ”

Ye Huaijin smiled and took her hand down, shaking her head helplessly: "It seems that you really like this face of mine." ”

"That's right. ”

Qiao Anning found that some things that he found difficult to say were not so difficult to say as long as he said them once, and then said them a second or third time.

Sure enough, it really responded to that sentence - everything is difficult at the beginning.

"And what about you?" she wondered, "what do you think of me? Do you like me?"

This was the first time she had asked Ye Huaijin directly if she liked things or not.

She thought that she did like the mature man in front of her.

He is mature enough, steady enough, handsome enough, gentleman enough, and attractive enough for women. It's normal that she'll like him.

But she didn't know if he liked him as much as she liked him.

Women are always more emotional than men, and they always care more than men about liking things that sound very nihilistic and can't grasp the real feeling.

She longs for their relationship to be reciprocal, she longs for him to like her when she likes him, not just her wishful thinking, but he can withdraw sensibly and say that she is suitable from a realistic point of view.

Fit is not love, and she longs for love between them.

She waited nervously, her hands unconsciously clutching the corners of the stool, expecting to hear the answer she wanted to hear, and afraid that she would not hear the answer she was expecting.

Fate sometimes likes to joke with people, she thought it was either 1 or 0 a problem, but she didn't expect that there would be a 0.5 option.

Ye Huaijin did not speak.

Seeing his reaction like this, the expectation in Qiao Anning's heart was instantly extinguished.

Sometimes, not answering is also answering.

She's not stupid, she's even sensitive.

The atmosphere has gradually changed, she doesn't want to embarrass Ye Huaijin, and she doesn't want to humiliate herself again, so she took the initiative to change the topic and said, "I'm so hungry, I don't want to roast anymore, you can help me bake it." ”

This time, Ye Huaijin answered quickly.

He said yes and turned his back to Qiao Anning.

She stared at his back for a moment, then looked away.

A trace of sadness gradually swelled up in my heart.

The rest of the meal was not in the mood to start, and ended in a hurry.

Sitting in the car on the way back, Ye Huaijin didn't start the car for half a day.

Qiao Anning didn't notice it, she kept looking out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Angry?" Ye Huaijin asked her.

Qiao Anning turned his face with a "huh?" and then shook his head and denied, "No." ”

Ye Huaijin accompanied him carefully: "Is it because I didn't answer your question just now?"

Qiao Anning was silent.

"Don't be angry, I'm just a little surprised and stunned, it's not that I don't want to answer you. Ye Huaijin said, "Do you think if I didn't like you, I would still be willing to have a relationship with you like this? Everyone is an adult, if I really don't like you at all, I won't waste time with you." ”

"I know. ”

Qiao Anning looked at him, she told herself in her heart, look, he had already given the answer, although this answer was not perfect, but at least he had expressed his meaning to her.

She should be content.
