Chapter 24: Pumpkin Rice
After experiencing the last drunkenness, Lin Wenxuan is completely familiar with Qin Jiaxi's home.
Rummaging through his jacket pocket and finding the key to the security door, Lin Wenxuan turned on the light in the living room as soon as she entered the house.
Qin Jiaxi only felt that he was top-heavy, let Lin Wenxuan drag him, staggered into his bedroom, fell headlong on the wide bed, didn't even bother to move, closed his eyes, and planned to sleep well.
Lin Wenxuan sighed, dragged Qin Jiaxi with some difficulty, asked him to rest his head on the pillow, and intimately helped him take off his shoes and cover the quilt, until she saw that he slept more comfortably, she sat down beside him.
Last time, also in this small room, it was he who was taking care of her drunk.
Today, everything is upside down, but Lin Wenxuan has no intention of staying by Qin Jiaxi's side all the time.
Qin Jiaxi is not like Lin Wenxuan, she will talk and make trouble when she is drunk, and even do something that makes her feel embarrassed when she can't keep an eye on it. Every time Qin Jiaxi gets drunk, he will be very quiet, and if he sleeps, he will be fine.
Lin Wenxuan turned on the table lamp on the bedside table, turned off the headlights in the bedroom, turned her head to look at Qin Jiaxi on the bed, and smiled slightly.
"Jiaxi, I know that today's events will definitely make you sad, but you must cheer up, move forward and work hard unswervingly in the direction you made a promise, so that your uncle and aunt will feel at ease. It's late today, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't accompany you, I wish you a good dream, good night!"
After speaking, Lin Wenxuan was about to leave, when she heard Qin Jiaxi's confused voice.
"Xuanxuan, can you not leave? I haven't eaten anything since noon, and my stomach is so uncomfortable......"
I don't know if he didn't fall asleep at all, or was woken up by Lin Wenxuan's words, Qin Jiaxi's wine suddenly woke up most of the time. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat up suddenly, and looked at Lin Wenxuan by the door with some grievances.
Lin Wenxuan paused, "You...... Did you wake up?"
"I was awakened from hunger, to be exact. Qin Jiaxi shook his head, looking much more sober than when he first went home.
Lin Wenxuan nodded helplessly, "Okay, you tell me what you want to eat, I'll order takeout for you now, I'll leave after watching you eat, it's okay, right?"
Don't look at Qin Jiaxi who looks sober, in fact, he is still a little drunk, others may not be able to see it, but Lin Wenxuan can judge his state at a glance.
Qin Jiaxi is such a calm and calm person!
He is now aggrieved and pitiful, and at a glance, he knows that he is still in a drunken state.
I wanted to order takeout with my mobile phone, watch him obediently eat the food, and then coax him to let him sleep steadily, but Qin Jiaxi didn't seem to agree with Lin Wenxuan's proposal.
"I don't want to eat those things outside, it's too greasy for me to eat. Xuanxuan, there are green beans and pumpkins that I bought a few days ago in the kitchen, why don't you watch and help me make something to eat?"
Lin Wenxuan, who was about to go to the living room to order takeout with her mobile phone, stumbled and almost fell.
She couldn't have been hallucinating, was she?
On this big night, Qin Jiaxi actually asked her to open the fire to cook?
Are you kidding?!
Lin Wenxuan thinks that she is not good at cooking, but she still knows how to cook, otherwise she has lived alone in Bihu City for so many years, and the salary she earned has long been used for takeaway, where would she be as rich as now?
However, if compared to Qin Jiaxi, Lin Wenxuan feels that she simply can't cook!
Qin Jiaxi's cooking skills are exquisite, and every dish she makes is mouth-watering, Lin Wenxuan has been thinking about Qin Jiaxi's dishes since she ate them, and it is precisely because of this that she is used to her picky taste buds.
I don't know who Qin Jiaxi learned from such a good cook?
Lin Wenxuan always knew that Qin Jiaxi's mother cooked deliciously, but she also knew that Qin Jiaxi must not have learned it from her mother.
His mother died early, and Qin Jiaxi didn't know how to cook at all at that time, but I don't know what happened later, Qin Jiaxi slowly learned his mother's best chicken noodles.
may have aroused his interest in cooking, and over time, Qin Jiaxi learned many dishes.
A person who is so good at cooking now wants to eat the food she cooks herself, which is probably the most humorous joke Lin Wenxuan has ever encountered this year.
"Xuanxuan?"
Seeing Lin Wenxuan standing by the bedroom door, like a stone carving, Qin Jiaxi frowned.
Lin Wenxuan hurriedly came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly: "I'm fine, I'll cook for you now!"
Since she can't hide, it's better to follow Qin Jiaxi's wishes, maybe she can go back to sleep early after cooking!
Gently closing the bedroom door, Lin Wenxuan walked quickly to the kitchen.
Qin Jiaxi's new home is very large, and the kitchen is naturally not too small, Lin Wenxuan looked at the kitchen from top to bottom, and reached out to open the door of the refrigerator without hesitation.
There weren't many ingredients in the fridge, but it could be seen that some of the food was indeed newly bought.
Lin Wenxuan's eyes fell on the pumpkin in the vegetable basket at the other end of the kitchen, turned her head to look at the refrigerator, took out fresh green beans from it, picked two carrots casually, and took out two ham sausages.
Looking at the ingredients on the board in front of her, the corners of Lin Wenxuan's mouth rose slightly.
Today is her luck, the ingredients she wants can be found in Qin Jiaxi's kitchen, it seems that she can really show her skills in front of him later!
Qin Jiaxi was already drunk, he hadn't eaten since noon, he had only poured so much cold beer, and his stomach must be very uncomfortable now, so Lin Wenxuan didn't plan to do anything too complicated for him.
As long as it's simple and delicious, and satisfies his stomach, isn't it?
Lin Wenxuan tied her apron on her body, rolled up her sleeves, and began to busy making supper for Qin Jiaxi.
Lin Wenxuan was busy in the kitchen, while Qin Jiaxi had been lying on the bed in the bedroom, quietly closing her eyes and recuperating.
Thinking that Lin Wenxuan agreed to help him make a supper without hesitation, Qin Jiaxi's happy mouth couldn't close.
His alcohol consumption was not as bad as she imagined, he just drank more than usual, a little drunk, but he was really in a bad mood today, so he wanted her to stay here with him.
What Qin Jiaxi said just now is half true and half false.
It's true that he hasn't eaten a bite of food since noon, and the fake thing is that he doesn't feel empty in his stomach at all now.
It stands to reason that when he is usually in the hospital and busy with work, Qin Jiaxi also has times when he can't take care of eating, but whenever he is busy, he will always find something to eat to fill his empty stomach as soon as possible.
But today, he really can't eat anything......
Maybe it's really psychological? It doesn't matter if he can't eat it, at least he used this excuse to keep her, didn't he?
I don't know how long it has been, just when Qin Jiaxi was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and falling into a fantasy, Lin Wenxuan pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom with the supper she made herself.
Hearing the movement, Qin Jiaxi immediately opened his eyes and sat up, his eyes implying a gentle smile.
When Lin Wenxuan approached, Qin Jiaxi couldn't help but be a little stunned.
He also thought that Lin Wenxuan would prepare porridge and side dishes for him, but he didn't expect Lin Wenxuan to come in directly with a whole small pumpkin on a plate, what the hell is she doing?
"Come on, the hot pumpkin rice is ready, eat it while it's hot!"
Lin Wenxuan sat down on the edge of the bed and handed over the little pumpkin in her hand with a smile.
Qin Jiaxi took the plate and looked at the pumpkin standing quietly on the plate, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
It seems that he really shouldn't let Lin Wenxuan cook......
Seeing that Qin Jiaxi was just staring at the food on the plate in a daze, Lin Wenxuan smiled and couldn't help but reach out and open the small lid on the pumpkin.
"Don't just stare at it! Didn't you say you're hungry? Hurry up and eat!"
As soon as the neatly cut lid of the pumpkin was lifted, the aroma of food filled the room. I don't know what's going on, the moment he smells the aroma of food, Qin Jiaxi suddenly feels that he has an appetite.
The pumpkin flesh has been hollowed out and filled with rice, which is mixed with green beans, diced carrots, and diced ham.
Qin Jiaxi's heart moved slightly, picked up the spoon handed over by Lin Wenxuan, and couldn't wait to scoop up a spoonful of rice and put it in his mouth.
The fragrance of green beans and diced carrots, the salty cloves of ham, the steamed glutinous rice, and the unique sweet taste of pumpkin are simply lovely!
A small spoonful of rice went down to his stomach, feeling the delicious taste transmitted to his heart on the tip of his tongue, Qin Jiaxi couldn't help but eat another spoonful.
"You eat slowly, no one is robbing you, it's all yours!How about it? The pumpkin rice I made is delicious, right?"
"It's so delicious!Xuanxuan, where did you learn this?"
Qin Jiaxi's mouth was full, and the words he said became indistinct.
Lin Wenxuan doesn't have many dishes in her hand, and Qin Jiaxi also knows a few, but she has never seen her make this pumpkin rice.
Lin Wenxuan smiled: "I learned it myself from the Internet a few days ago, and I haven't practiced it myself, but today I saw that you have these ingredients at home, and I was afraid that cooking other dishes would not suit your appetite, so I simply steamed pumpkin rice for you to eat." ”
"It seems that you are quite talented in cooking, and you will have to try more in the future to improve. ”
While eating, Qin Jiaxi did not forget to nod Lin Wenxuan two sentences, looking very experienced, and seemed to be very proud.
Lin Wenxuan rolled her eyes at him, helpless against his cheekiness.
The two are obviously the same age, but in front of Qin Jiaxi, it is as if he is a big brother, she is a little sister who needs to be taken care of and cared for, it is too unfair!
However, the only thing Qin Jiaxi can show off in front of Lin Wenxuan is probably his cooking skills.
For the sake of Qin Jiaxi's drunkenness tonight, and the face of Qin Jiaxi's father's death this morning, Lin Wenxuan decided not to bother with him about these trivial matters.
Let him say whatever he likes, as long as he can cheer up, isn't it a good thing?
Seeing that Qin Jiaxi ate so deliciously, Lin Wenxuan stood up and said softly: "Jiaxi, it's not too early, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't accompany you first." You eat slowly, I'll go home first, and I'll call you if you have something. ”
"That...... You see it's almost twelve o'clock, you girl, it's dangerous to go home alone so late, I don't worry. You see our house is quite big, why don't you sleep in my bedroom and I'll sleep in the living room?"
Qin Jiaxi hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, and tactfully retained Lin Wenxuan again.
This time, it was really not Qin Jiaxi who deliberately wanted to keep Lin Wenxuan, he knew that she would have to go to work tomorrow, and he also hoped that she could rest well, but it was really too late, and Qin Jiaxi was worried that Lin Wenxuan would have some accidents on the road.
What if a girl walks alone on an empty street late at night and encounters robbers or hooligans?
Qin Jiaxi originally thought that he would personally send her home after dinner, but now he doesn't know if it's because he was full or what, the alcohol actually spread little by little, and his body was soft, and he really didn't have the strength to get up and send her home.
For safety, the first thing he thought of was to let Lin Wenxuan stay at his home.
Qin Jiaxi's words undoubtedly gave Lin Wenxuan a reminder, and she was also a little worried about whether she would meet bad people on the road, but she was afraid that staying here would cause some misunderstanding, so she stood in place for a while, neither to go, nor to stay.
"I live here, it doesn't seem to be very good......"
"There's nothing bad about it, we've known each other for so many years, can't you still trust me? Listen to me, stay, I won't promise you to go back alone!"
"That'...... Okay!" Lin Wenxuan chose to compromise.
Qin Jiaxi also has to go to work tomorrow, considering the importance of Qin Jiaxi's work, Lin Wenxuan decided to go to sleep on the sofa with a pillow and quilt by herself, and Qin Jiaxi had no choice but to agree.
The night gradually quieted down.
The two of them were separated by a wall, and slowly fell into a sweet dreamland.
