Chen Chi returned to the apartment and collapsed directly on the bed tiredly. He barely ate much today, only drank a glass of milk before leaving, but until now, he still didn't want to eat at all.

His temples hurt like they were bursting. Chen Chi closed his eyes, but his grandmother's voice and smile appeared in his mind. He still can't accept that his grandmother is gone, and it hasn't been for half a year, and since then, his grandmother and all the living relatives have been separated from each other. In the future, when he went to see her, no one would bring him a bowl of six water and eggs when he came in, and coaxed him to finish eating. After that, only the new grave in the orchard on the hillside behind his grandmother's house was left, so that he could go and talk.

The tip of Chen Chi's nose was red, and some fluid was flowing down from his closed eye sockets.

The most unacceptable thing for him was that he didn't give his grandmother the last ride. No matter how forgivable the reason was, he couldn't let go of himself.

After all the things, I know that some things are not so important, it doesn't matter if you let them go, but some are so important that you miss it and regret it for a lifetime.

He lay on his back, like last night, half-asleep, half-awake, and his dreams were full of his grandmother's childhood.

The ringtones rang again and again in the dream, Chen Chi suddenly opened his eyes, picked up his mobile phone and took a look, and the pinyin of "frost falling" was displayed on the screen.

"Chen Chi, have you arrived?" On the other end of the phone, Xu Shuang's voice was soft, full of concern.

Chen Chi put one hand on his eyebrows, blocking the dazzling light emitted by the mobile phone screen in the dark, and his voice was a little hoarse and rough: "It's here, I'm sorry, frost fell, I forgot to call you." ”

"It's okay," Xu Shuangchuan asked again, "Have you had dinner?"

"I'll eat it later. ”

"Oh," Xu Shuangchuan said uneasily, "Then you eat quickly and rest early after eating." ”

"Got it. ”

Xu Shuang didn't do much to comfort people, she would only tell again: "Go to bed early, you are tired on the road today." ”

"Hmm. Chen Chi responded in a low voice.

After saying goodbye on the other end of the phone, the girl's soft voice was hidden, and Chen Chi kept his ear to the phone until he felt that the room was dark and quiet again. He put down his phone, fumbled for the thin quilt under him, casually flipped a corner and put it on his body, and continued to close his eyes.

Before the start of school, Xian came back from Vietnam, and it is said that she carried two suitcases and a large backpack, which was difficult to take after getting off the plane, so Xu Shuangchuan readily agreed to pick her up. In the evening, Xian rolled up her sleeves and made a meal for Xu Shuangchuan to thank you.

Two girls occupy a countertop and are busy in the kitchen. Of course, Xu Shuangjiang can only do it, such as washing vegetables and handing a knife or something.

Xian is ready to make two dishes, beef stew with carrots and salmon fillet dipped in mustard sauce. Cutting salmon slices is a delicate job that tests knife skills, and naturally can only be undertaken by Xian, and Xu Shuangchuan seriously washed the lemongrass by the pool, and the chopstick-length lemongrass was cut into two pieces by her.

When Matheus came in, Xu Shuangchuan was following Xian's instructions, peeling off the stems and leaves wrapped in lemongrass one by one and throwing them into the beef.

After saying hello to the two of them, Matthews went to the stove next to Xu Shuang and set up a pot. After Xu Shuang glanced twice, he saw that he was going to cook macaroni.

"Xu, what is this?" asked Matthews.

"Citronella, a special kind of grass. Xu Shuangchuan directly told him what Xian had given her popular science.

Matthews looked curiously at the pot in front of Xu Shuangjiang. Xian was particular about the ingredients, poured a whole box of coconut milk, and only saw the milky white coconut milk boiling slightly in the pot, and the beef and carrot pieces were soaked in the bottom of the pot, only a little bit of a small tip appeared on the liquid surface. A few pieces of green lemongrass leaves thrown by Xu Shuang floated on the coconut milk, each one longer than a finger, and it looked very rough.

Xu Shuangchuan continued to talk while rubbing the leaves, explaining to Matthews: "Vietnamese people like to add flavors when cooking," she turned her head and asked, "Right, Xian?"

"Yes. Xian smiled, kept cutting the fish fillet with the knife in his hand, and asked, "Matthews, do you want to smell it?"

"Okay. "Matthews looked in high spirits.

Xu Shuangchuan handed a leaf that he had taken off to Matthews.

"Awesome, very nice smell. Matthews lowered his head and sniffed a few times, and returned it to Xu Shuang.

She took it and spilled it into the pot.

Matthews couldn't help but laugh, he lit the pot of coconut milk soup and asked, "Is this a Vietnamese or a Chinese way?"

"I think it's Vietnam's way, and maybe southern China will do the same. Xu Shuangchuan said uncertainly.

"Are you from northern China?" asked Matthews, turning his head as he swirled the red, green, and green macaroni rolls.

Xu Shuangchuan shook his head with a smile: "No, strictly speaking, I live in the middle." ”

My friend was learning Chinese and watched a movie about southern China, and he was very upset and said he didn't understand a word. ”

Xu Shuangchuan was a little amused: "I guess it may be the dialect of our southern region. Your friends don't need to be upset, I don't understand. But after he learned Chinese, he must have no problem traveling to our south. ”

"My friend will be glad to hear you say that. ”

Xian finally finished cutting the salmon fillet, she sighed softly and interjected with a smile: "Xu, then do you and your friends have their own dialects?"

Xu Shuangchuan understood that in Xian's recent statement, her friend specifically referred to Chen Chi. "yes. She replied.

"Then can you understand each other when you speak in tongues?" Xian turned her head, her eyes sparkling, very worried.

Xu Shuangchuan didn't know why, and suddenly embarrassed: "We haven't tried it yet, so we shouldn't be able to." ”

"That's so much fun. Xian teased.

Matthews chuckled as he turned out the fire, turned to the edge of the sink to make hot water, and scooped the macaroni onto his plate.

Xu Shuang secretly muttered to himself that Matthews's teeth were so good, and if she were replaced, she would have to cook at least twice as long before she dared to pick them up.

"Lovely dinner. Matthews smiled at the two girls as he held a plate of pasta topped with a layer of sauce.

"Lovely dinner. ”

Xu Shuangxia's dinner was indeed very pleasant, in Xian's room, while enjoying the food, I listened to her tell interesting stories about returning to China. Xian's craftsmanship has nothing to say, it is the first time she has eaten beef boiled in coconut milk, and it is so fragrant that she almost bites off her tongue. The salmon served with mustard sauce also made her nose sour.

However, when she returned to her room after the meal, she frowned when she remembered Chen Chi, who had joked about Xian.

I wonder if he's in a better mood?

Xu Shuang has not heard from him for two or three days. Except for picking up Xian at the airport today, she had nothing to do a few days ago, and she soaked in the computer room all day, but she didn't see Chen Chi go online.

She pondered for a moment and called him.
