Chapter 31: Warmth [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
"Do-do-do-do......"
Ah Jiu's way of cutting the meat filling is very strange, he is doing it with both hands at the same time, one knife horizontally, one knife vertical, DuangDuang chops and then reverses, which is very efficient.
Taeyeon looks amazing because she can't connect Ah Jiu with the chef, but looking at him, he seems to be a little more powerful than the chef who appears on the TV food show.
"Do you care about cooking?"
"Concern?" Ah Jiu was cutting leeks, glanced up at Taeyeon, and said, "I don't care about cooking, I care about filling my stomach...... But now it's the PD of the diet show, so it's a little concerned. ”
"And you're so good at cooking?"
"I'm just good at pasta. Ah Jiu said honestly: "You may not believe it, we rarely ate rice when we were children, almost every day it was pasta, steamed buns, flower rolls, cakes, noodles ......" Ah Jiu laughed and said: "When I was a child, I could eat stuffing, even if it was the New Year." ”
"Chinese New Year?"
"The Spring Festival is almost equivalent to the Mid-Autumn Festival in South Korea. ”
"Oh......" Taeyeon said in a clear voice, she likes to talk to Ah Jiu because he can always explain things she doesn't understand.
Taeyeon looked at Ah Jiu preparing and asked curiously, "What kind of stuffing is this?"
"Three fresh, pork, shrimp, leeks, delicious. Ah Jiu mixed the three fillings together and poured a few drops of sesame oil: "Boiling the shrimp with fresh shrimp and then peeling the shrimp is the best, but I didn't buy it yesterday." ”
"It tastes good. ”
"Of course, I'm still very confident in making dumplings. ”
Ah Jiu found two spoons, handed one to Taeyeon, and showed her: "Take the dough, use the spoon to put the filling in the middle of the dough, and look at my amount...... That's pretty much it. Then pinch the edges, it doesn't matter if you don't pinch the lace, just pinch it tightly, and the stuffing won't be exposed. ”
"I'm not that stupid......," Taeyeon said unconvinced, holding the dough and pinching it little by little, and after a while, she wrapped a dumpling. handed it to Ah Jiu to show off: "Look, it's beautiful, right?"
As soon as the words fell, she noticed that there were three dumplings in front of Ah Jiu, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she bit her lip and stopped making a sound.
"If you follow your speed, you're really going to have dinner after wrapping dumplings, don't you say it, anyway, you don't have to sell it if you eat it yourself, so you don't have to care too much about it. ”
"Hmm......" Taeyeon nodded. But her hands were still pinched very seriously, and suddenly she had a whim, took two pieces of dough and pasted them together, and pinched out a heart-shaped dumpling to show Ah Jiu: "Is this okay?"
"Okay, yes......" Ah Jiu looked at it and said, "But do you know......?
The expression on Taeyeon's face froze, and she finally determined that the guy in front of her was a romantic insulator. The heart-shaped dumplings, which were still proudly made just now, instantly became unpleasant. Taeyeon was about to destroy it, but Ah Jiu reached out and took it: "Keep it." Cook it for a while and I'll eat. ”
Taeyeon was stunned for a moment, looked at Ah Jiu blankly, picked up another piece of dough, and suddenly said, "I don't understand a little." ”
"Don't understand what?"
Taeyeon's hand stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "Are you pushing and pulling?" Please don't do this, you tell me your mind directly, if you want to have a relationship with Xiujing, you think I'm an obstacle, I won't rely on you. ”
"I don't think you're an obstacle. Ah Jiu finished wrapping the dumplings in his hand. Looking at Taeyeon on the cutting board, he said, "I don't know what push and pull is, I have already told you my intentions, and it has always been clear, it hasn't changed, you won't forget it so quickly, right?"
"What did you say?"
"I said, I think you're my friend. ”
Taeyeon furrowed her eyebrows, "I thought you were trying to fool me, do you really think so?" Sunny said that there is no ...... between men and women"
"But I think I can. Ah Jiu smiled and said, "What Sunny said is not the truth, and it may not be completely correct. ”
Ah Jiu opened the refrigerator, took a bottle of water and handed it to Taeyeon, and unscrewed a bottle himself: "Actually, I said half of it that day, and there is another reason why I chose Xiujing." ”
"What?"
"There is an agreement between us that we will never lie to each other, and if there is something we can't say, we can not say it for the time being, but we must not lie to deceive each other. ”
"Just kidding, we've been abiding by it. Ah Jiu took a sip of water: "If I make the same agreement with you now, do you think you can keep it?
"I ......" Taeyeon wanted to say yes, but when the words came to her lips, she found that she couldn't.
"You're hesitating, so you can't do it?" Ah Jiu's tone was still gentle, but Taeyeon felt that he was disappointed, and wanted to explain but didn't know what to say.
As if seeing what Taeyeon was thinking, Ah Jiu continued, "I'm not disappointed, because I know that your affection for me is actually not as good as it is to the extent that I like it. I'm not a great deal like Sunny when it comes to relationships, but I have feelings, and I've always believed in my feelings. ”
"When I was with Xiujing, I could feel the warmth in her eyes when she looked at me. Her affection for me is a state of wanting to warm me. And you're next to me, and I feel the opposite. You're more of a desire for me to warm you. To put it simply, what you need now is someone who gives you warmth, someone who protects your heart, and this person doesn't have to be a lover. ”
Ah Jiu's words were very straightforward, but Taeyeon felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, and her heart hurt.
"But...... If it's not a lover, why should I ......"
"Why do you ask such a person to be nice to you?" Ah Jiu said this for Taeyeon, suddenly put down the water bottle in his hand, opened his arms and hugged Taeyeon into his arms. With his height, broad shoulders and reach, Taeyeon is almost completely 'submerged' in his arms.
"Do you feel warm now?"
Taeyeon closed her eyes and felt it, she couldn't deny it, she felt the warmth, the warmth that came out of her heart.
"It's very warm, isn't it? The hug I gave you as a friend was also very warm, right?"
"I don't want you to trade love, it's too humble. As your friend, I don't want to see you like this. Take care of your love and don't give it away easily. You will always meet a suitable person, don't take it out as currency because of a moment of loneliness and coldness, true love can't be bought. ”
"Now, for the time being, I'm here to warm you. (To be continued......)
