Chapter 2 Kimchi Fish

It is very hot in May and June in Guangzhou, especially after the rain, the city is like a furnace.

He Shenge slept in Gu Lance's room, and Gu Lance moved to the study to sleep, but the air conditioner in the room where Gu Lance slept was scheduled.

At six o'clock, He Shenge felt as if she had sunk to the bottom of the sea, soaking wet, and then she was woken up by the heat.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Gu Lance who had just come back from the morning run outside, he was standing in the living room, drinking boiled water with his head up in a big gulp, sweat beads flowing down his cheeks, from his chin to the Adam's apple, and then deep into the white T-shirt, the soaked white T-shirt was faintly visible The strong chest inside, this hormonal burst made He Shenge also pick up a glass of boiled water, and drank it with a gurgling stomach, calming down the evil fire.

Gu Lance put down the water glass and squinted at He Shenge on the side, she was wearing a wide light purple T-shirt, just the length to her thighs, and Donald Duck was printed in the center of the T-shirt, Donald Duck fell together with her action of drinking water, and then looked down, it was a pair of white and well-proportioned legs.

He frowned, picked up the kettle, poured another glass and continued to drink.

After he calmed down, he instructed: "I'll go to work later, breakfast is on the table, I don't know what you eat, I bought soy milk fritters, as well as preserved egg and lean porridge, your toothbrush, toothbrush cup, Towels are also next to breakfast, new slippers are in the shoe cabinet, I don't know what color you like, everything is bought pink, the password of the door, I tuned to your Guangdong mobile phone shortnet, I don't come back at noon, what time do you get off work at night, there is no standard, I will call you then, if you lack anything, you send me WeChat, don't call, in addition, after the community goes out, turn right, there is Wanda Plaza, turn left, is a park, the location of the subway entrance, said a little complicated, you send me a map on WeChat when the time, I will tell you the direction. ”

"Okay, I got it. He Shenge clenched the cup, and the corners of his mouth rose hard: "It's too troublesome for you to live here." ”

"It's fine. He wiped the hot sweat from his chin with the back of his hand, and then, scratching his head, said, "Usually all the people who live in my house are men, and you are still the first woman, so if you don't entertain well, don't laugh, if you still need anything, just say." ”

"Well, okay. The corners of He Shenge's mouth immediately rose.

Seeing her smile, Gu Lance suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, and coughed: "I'll go take a bath." ”

Looking at his back, He Shenge had a very wonderful feeling in his heart, since she was a child, she was the eldest sister in the family, she had always taken care of her younger brother, when she grew up, she became a teacher, she was taking care of students, no one had ever taken care of herself so carefully, even at the beginning, she taught him to grow up.

At eight o'clock, He Shenge was eating breakfast, Gu Lance carried a computer bag, glanced at her, hesitated, and said, "I'm leaving." ”

She put down the bun in her hand and immediately stood up to send him: "Pay attention to safety on the road." ”

"Hmm. ”

As soon as the titanium alloy door was closed, the house became very quiet, He Shenge returned to Fang Cai's position and continued to eat steamed buns, and after breakfast, she got up and looked around at this somewhat unfamiliar house, and began to clean.

After cleaning the house, He Shenge went out and went to the Walmart supermarket in Wanda Plaza to buy a crucian carp and some ginger, garlic and onion condiments, and bought some fruit and yogurt by the way.

After returning, He Shenge cut open the crucian carp, washed it, and salted it with kimchi water and salt, and then she sat down in the hall and began to look for a new job on her mobile phone.

Most of the jobs recommended by the platform are jobs in educational institutions, and she was not interested in them and did not submit her resume.

In the evening, at about six o'clock in the afternoon, a WeChat message popped up on the mobile phone screen: "Get off work on time at 7 o'clock in the evening, and get home at 8 o'clock." ”

After receiving the news, the corners of He Shenge's mouth raised a faint invisible smile, and then she glanced at the wooden wall clock on the wall, and estimated the time before she put down her mobile phone and began to prepare dinner and prepare the ingredients for kimchi fish.

When it was almost dark, Gu Lance returned, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a sour and spicy fragrance.

Seeing Gu Lance come back, He Shenge showed a little joy on his face: "Uncle, you wait a minute, it's time to start eating." ”

"Hmm. Gu Lance looked at the woman in the dark blue striped apron in the kitchen, and her cold and hard face working outside couldn't help but be a little gentle.

He put down his computer bag and went into the kitchen, his eyes fell on this woman, and some strange feelings suddenly welled up in his heart, usually when he came back, it was a silent empty house, and he didn't think that one day there would be more people in the house, and there would be other sounds, and the smell of food.

He Shenge slid the fried crispy fish from the edge of the pot into the hot kimchi soup, the hot soup suddenly sizzled, sesame oil splashed, she didn't have any shelter on her hands, and was immediately burned by the splashed boiling oil, she retreated in pain, Gu Lance saw this, wanted to go up to help, and in this way, He Shenge hid in Gu Lance's arms.

When her cold back touched the slightly hot chest, she immediately came out of that bosom, and her whole body became nervous.

Gu Lance only felt that the cold feeling for a moment made him feel in a trance for a while, but soon, he calmed down,

Asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Her face was slightly burned, and she stepped forward to cover the glass pot lid and stabilize her mind: "Thank you, I'm fine, the kimchi fish will be fine in a while." ”

Sure enough, the fresh aroma of fish and the aroma of chili peppers overflowed, and the hunger immediately invaded Gu Lance's nerves, driving him to hurry to wash the dishes.

A few mosquitoes buzzed in the orange light above their heads, and a table fan flickered next to the dining table, whistling and blowing a brief cool breeze, but the air was still sultry.

He Shenge, who finished cooking a meal, seemed to come out of the water, sweating, she and Gu Qi sat face to face in front of the dining table, she felt a faint smell of sweat on her body, rubbing her hands under the table, and wanted to escape.

In fact, Gu Lance didn't notice her, he was attracted by the plate of hot and strange aromatic kimchi fish on the dinner table, he couldn't wait to pick a small piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and suddenly a mouthful of sour and spicy stimulated his taste buds, chewed, and found that the fish meat was extremely soft and greasy, there was no fishy smell at all, only the sour and hot left by pickled pepper and pickled ginger, and a little numb, after swallowing the fish, there was still a fragrance between the mouths.

He licked his lips and asked curiously, "Did you add mint?"

"Well, add a few mint leaves, mint leaves can enhance the flavor and remove the fishiness, and the fried clams we ate in the night market are actually mint leaves. ”

"Oh, you're pretty good at eating. ”

He Shenge smiled a little happily: "Actually, the pickled pepper and phoenix feet you bought outside are similar to this pickle, my classmate said, this pickle can be eaten as a snack in their Sichuan." ”

"Uh-huh, it feels like it can be used with white porridge or as a meal. ”

"There's still a can of kimchi, you can eat it however you want. ”

"Thanks to you, thank you, it's really delicious in the world!" Gu Lance ate several bites of fish in a row.

"It's fine. ”

Immediately afterwards, the two of them ate the sour and spicy kimchi fish without saying a word, and they both had the same energy, even if their faces were dripping with sweat, they had to finish the pot of kimchi fish.

After a long silence, Gu Lance looked at the pot with only soup left, and finally put down the bowl and burped suddenly.

He Shenge looked at him and sneered, and Gu Qi looked at her and grinned.

Laughing and laughing, Gu Lance stroked his swollen belly, and his cheeks were a little throbbing with laughter: "My stomach hurts when I laugh." ”

He suppressed his smile and let out a deep and mellow voice: "I'm afraid that people won't recognize you as a Cantonese with your skills." ”

"It's not like you don't know that Cantonese people can eat anything. ”

In this midsummer, the night breeze outside the window brings a rare coolness.

Gu Lance faced the window, facing the silky wind that only exists in the south, and suddenly asked: "What are you going to do next, the school in Guangzhou is not easy to enter, and you are not a fresh graduate, do you want me to help?"

He Shenge was stunned when he heard this, and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, I will look at the work matters, as long as I am in Guangzhou City, I will go out to find a house in two days, and we can see each other every day at that time." ”

"I'm going on a business trip and you can stay here. He was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, when you come to Guangzhou, I don't often be there, and I often go out of town for this job." ”

"You'll be back anyway. She said seriously.

The house is very quiet, and you can hear the noisy cars downstairs, the Mozart played by the children practicing the piano upstairs, and the angry words of the man next door on the phone, but He Shenge's words echoed in Gu Yang's mind.

He took out his cigarette case, walked to the window, took a puff of cigarette, exhaled a circle of smoke, and said in a low and deep voice: "If you are not in a hurry to find a job, you might as well come with me on a trip to Inner Mongolia." ”

"Inner Mongolia?"

"You and the primary school in Shenzhen, have all the resignation procedures been completed?"

"That's it. ”

"Then come with me. He dusted off his cigarette ashes into the glass ashtray, picked up his phone, and touched his fingers quickly on the screen: "We don't get along much, and I think it's necessary to live together and travel before marriage." ”

"Looks like we're on the same page?" she asked.

They are also accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and have met a lot of people, and at present, if she wants to be stable, she doesn't know if Gu Lance is the same.

"Hmm. The corners of his lips raised slightly: "By the way, have you ever been to the north?"

"I've been. ”

"What will you do in the north?"

"Not really. ”

"Then go and learn, anyway, don't pressure yourself. ”

He Shenge stared at him for a second, he leaned against the windowsill, the light cast a shadow on his side face, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, although his hair was a little messy, the dark circles under his eyelids looked a little tired, and his forehead was full of beads of sweat, although he looked a little embarrassed, but she felt that Gu Lance was quite reliable.

She retracted her gaze and pretended not to be impressed: "Indeed." ”

"There aren't many girls like you who can cook and eat seriously now. Gu Lance extinguished his cigarette, began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and praised out of workplace habits: "Such good cooking skills, whoever marries you in the future will be a blessing accumulated in the previous life." ”

He Shenge's face flushed: "Thank you for the compliment, in fact, many girls can cook." ”

"No, I'm not complimenting you. ”

She tilted her head, puzzled.

Gu Qi, who lowered his head to wash the dishes, smiled: "I'm boasting about myself, didn't you resign and come to Guangzhou, just to be with me?"

Even facing the cool breeze coming from the fan, He Shenge not only did not feel a trace of coolness, but felt that her face was getting hotter and hotter, and she couldn't find the words to respond to Gu Li's words for some other reason.

On July 3, He Shenge slept until 3 o'clock in the morning when he was woken up by Gu Lance and rushed to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport to meet Gu Lance's other colleagues.

Before going out, Gu Lance took out a luggage list and handed it to He Shenge: "You read it, see if there is anything missing." ”

He Shenge looked at his cautious travel behavior, and suddenly admired Gu Qi.

"I didn't bring a toothbrush or toothpaste. He Shenge looked at the list and said.

"You don't have to bring it, I'll bring it to you. ”

"No, aren't we staying in a hotel?

"My own stuff is more hygienic. Gu Qi, who was squatting in front of the suitcase to check, picked up a bag of bottles and cans, and asked with a puzzled face: "This bag is all cosmetics?"

"No, it's full of soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and soybean paste, oil, and sugar. ”

Gu Qi looked at He Shenge in surprise, thinking that this woman was really different, his lips opened, he wanted to say something, he was afraid that he had said the wrong thing, so he still closed his mouth and silently put the bag of condiments back in her suitcase.

He Shenge squatted down, looked at him, and looked serious: "Do you think I want to bring Cantonese herbal tea?" The food over there is very spicy, very salty, and easy to get angry. ”

"You can take a couple of packs with you. Gu Lance held back a smile and thought about it seriously before answering.

Inexplicably, he felt that the woman in front of him was quite cute.

"Wouldn't it be heavy to bring so much?" He Shenge was a little distressed.

"It's okay, I'll carry it for you. ”

She was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Gu Lance stretched out his hand and wanted to touch her head, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, afraid that she would not like it, so he waved it in the air and muttered: "In summer, there are many mosquitoes." ”

After packing their luggage, the two got into a taxi and arrived at the airport.

The summer sky was already bright at five o'clock in the morning, the white clouds were swimming slowly, and the sun was emitting a dazzling light early, as if to force away the moon that was still hanging in the sky and had not yet left.

As the editor-in-chief of the Propaganda Department, Gu Lance is also the boss of this department, and his colleagues are naturally looking forward to the boss's girlfriend.

When they saw He Shenge wearing white canvas shoes, black jeans and a light yellow hooded short short-sleeved sweatshirt, their expectations dropped from one hundred to ten, and they thought that a man with a wild nature like Gu Lance and a man who roamed the ends of the world should be matched with a sexy and tall and cold beauty, but as a result, it was just an ordinary girl who could be seen everywhere on the street.

Moreover, the girl also leaned over with her slightly chubby cheeks, and held up a bag of breakfast with a smile: "I see that everyone hasn't eaten breakfast so early, right? I bought a lot of breakfast, including barbecued pork, bean paste buns, custard buns, steamed dumplings, Xue Mei Niang, golden cakes, anyway, you see, do you like to eat?"

Everyone was stunned, reached out to take the bag of breakfast, hurriedly thanked him, turned his face to look at Gu Qi, and asked with an extremely puzzled expression, "This is your girlfriend who has maintained a mysterious identity for two years?"

Gu Lance rubbed his nose seriously, and his heart was also broken.

On the way here, he emphasized to He Shenge that there was breakfast on the plane, however, when He Shenge saw a Hong Kong tea restaurant, he immediately shouted to stop and ran in, and when he wanted to stop it, He Shenge ordered more than 20 breakfasts, he could only hold his forehead and stepped forward to pay the bill.

At this time, a slender little hand grabbed his hand, and the petite person straddled him, calmly scanned the code with her mobile phone to pay, and then she turned around, raised her head, and her face was a little happy: "Uncle, didn't you hand over all your money to me?

The person on the side listened, covered his mouth and smiled.

Only Gu Lance understands that she has given him enough face, and she has also made a clear distinction.
