Chapter 17: The Almighty Cook
Annoying Mondays come uninvited, and the early morning sun caresses the sleeping through the tulle.
"Hmm...... Nasty Monday! ”
Whimpered, Rao didn't think about it anymore, and Xu Huanyan didn't forget that almost twenty minutes had passed since she pressed the alarm clock. Now she didn't wash up and dress up right away, and she didn't even have a chance to eat breakfast, so she had to rush to school.
Most of the reason why she chose to live in the school was that she could sleep for half an hour more at night, and there was no reason more attractive to Xu Huanyan than this.
When I came to the elegant and luxurious Western-style restaurant, the man's tall back was busy in the kitchen. The bread maker made a "click" sound, and four slices of baked golden crispy bread popped out.
The man methodically arranges the slices of bread, the bacon in the frying pan, the medium-rare omelette, the fruit salad...... His movements are fluid, smooth and natural, as if he had done it a thousand times.
Every time Xu Huanyan saw this scene, she couldn't believe that her second uncle was still an all-round cook.
The sleeves of the shirt were neatly rolled up, revealing half of the muscular arms, and the straight, tall legs were under the ironed trousers.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, staring at Li Shaojing's perfect figure with a golden ratio, his throat slid down.
Li Shaojing had already noticed the movement behind him, and when he cut the sandwich and put it on the plate, he turned around and raised his eyes to look at the little girl on the steps.
"Nosebleeds." The words fell to Li Shaojing, and he even made a nose wiping action.
When Xu Huanyan heard this, the sleeping insect immediately ran away, and immediately reached out to wipe the nosebleed......
"Li Shaojing! You're not done! ”
Is it so good to tease her? If he doesn't use his poisonous tongue to stimulate her for a day, can he die?!
"Breakfast is ready, come and eat."
The sandwich was served, and Li Shaojing's eyebrows were slightly raised. Something seems to be missing.
With a casual snort, Xu Huanyan swaggered over, picked up the sandwich and opened his mouth to take a big bite without waiting to sit down, "Second uncle, I want to drink apple juice today!" ”
Li Shaojing's expression moved slightly, and the expression on his face was obscure. Just when Xu Huanyan thought that he was going to ignore himself, the man suddenly moved, got up and went to the kitchen to peel apples and prepare to make freshly squeezed apple juice.
He was in such a hurry that he forgot to prepare juice for her.
"Second uncle, that phone call last night...... Who is it? ”
After holding back the questions all night, I still asked the question.
Thin bacon mixed with vegetable leaves and salad dressing sandwiched in bread slices, Xu Huanyan waited for him to solve his puzzles while eating.
She saw it yesterday, there was no note on the message number, it was obviously an unfamiliar message, and the identity of the other party was not stored in Li Shaojing's mobile phone contacts.
Perhaps, that person once had a place in Li Shaojing's contact list. But now......
"Finally asked? I thought you were going to suffocate yourself. ”
Throwing the cut apple pieces into the juicer, Li Shaojing leaned lazily in the corner of the wall, he usually refused to be thousands of miles away, and he gradually learned how to smile in the past six years.
Xu Huanyan held back his mouth, "Will you answer if I ask?" ”
Curiosity kills the cat, but that doesn't stop her determination to find out the truth.
Li Shaojing, what did you do to make you dare not even save the other party's name?
"No, it won't."
The deep male voice is as mellow and beautiful as a cello, but this answer...... It's not perfect.
"Don't talk about pulling down! Second uncle, sooner or later, you will be crushed to death by those secrets you concealed. Next time you beg me, let me share your worries and sorrows, I don't bother to pay attention to you! ”
Since he didn't say anything, it was useless for her to hold a knife against his neck.
The lubricated apple juice entered his mouth, but Xu Huanyan still didn't give up, "Second uncle, just tell me." I won't leak it out, and I won't tell the third uncle, and then follow him to laugh at you! ”
The smile is harmless to humans and animals, but Li Shaojing clearly saw her cunning flashing from the bottom of her eyes.
Don't you tell the third child?
The third child knows too many secrets, and if he continues, he has to consider whether it is time to kill him.
"You're still laughing less?" The man snorted coldly and ate the sandwich slowly.
"Second uncle, isn't it...... What's the news? ”
A bloody scene suddenly flashed in his mind, Xu Huanyan twitched, threw away the sandwich and stood up suddenly.
"Ah Yan, I said that you should forget the past and live in the present."
Six years is not a long time, but it is not a short time.
Li Shaojing has always thought that six years can heal the wounds in a person's heart. His Ah Yan will eventually forget everything.
He could have asked the best psychology professor in country M to seal off all her past memories, but he chose to believe it in the end.
How could a strong little girl who grew up pulling her younger brother in the chaotic Golden Triangle be crushed by the past?
Chewing on Li Shaojing's words, her eyes were hazy for a moment, until she forced back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, "Actually, I already knew that he couldn't survive." The bullet hit the heart...... It's just that I didn't dare to identify the charred corpse. I'm afraid...... I can't fool myself anymore. ”
Xu Huachen, her own brother, lost his breath after being shot in the Golden Triangle.
The second uncle was actually a distinguished guest invited by Jia Luo to the poppy manor, and she watched the man stride his brother into the emergency room, and then got the news of his brother's death from the chief surgeon.
On that day, her life changed dramatically, and the misfortunes that followed almost broke her.
It was also at that time that the second uncle stretched out a warm and strong hand to her, "Come with me and go to Kyoto." There's everything you yearn for. ”
The capital of the kingdom of Huaxia, Kyoto?
It was just the word "Kyoto" that rekindled her hope at that time. Although her brother is gone, she still has a reason to survive.
After pondering for a long time, Li Shaojing gave her another glimmer of hope, "The charred corpse that day was not Xu Huachen. "Maybe the other party can deceive the thirteen-year-old Ah Yan, but he can't hide himself who has been crawling in the pile of dead people for several years.
"He's really not Chenchen? Second uncle, are you lying to me?! ”
He hugged the boy, the charred corpse had a slightly larger skull and a much thicker hand. Although the two look similar in size, the size of their skeletons is very different.
"What's in it for me to lie to you?"
"Is that true?" Taking a deep breath, Xu Huanyan's voice was slightly hoarse, "But that corpse is not Chenchen's words...... Where did he go? Could it be that my brother was taken by someone? ”
Li Shaojing was noncommittal and did not completely deny her idea.
After all, this is also a glimmer of life, that kid doesn't look stupid, maybe he can escape death.
"I'd rather believe it. But I think what you should be worried about now is that the next time the head teacher talks to the parents, will you dare to let me be scolded by your head teacher......
When the hour hand of the wall clock went to twelve, Li Shaojing suddenly sighed lightly.
Xu Huanyan was thinking about his younger brother, but his body didn't react, but he habitually replied formulaically, "Oh, second uncle, don't worry." This kind of drudgery has always been done by the third uncle for you. You are expensive, don't be embarrassed because of me. ”
No, why did the second uncle say that just now?
Raising his head suddenly, Xu Huanyan looked bitter, ", labor and management are so late!" ”
