Chapter 26: Being able to cook is a plus
Yu Zhile didn't have much luggage, and he quickly packed it. Obviously, not long ago, she was still writing about her plans for the future in 2007, who would have thought that Yu Zilian would grow from a teenager behind her to an adult who was in charge in the blink of an eye, and now she was taking her out of the community where she had lived for two years with the momentum of the wind and clouds, Yu Zhile's brain was simply a mess. Until she sat in Yu Zilian's car and heard the sound of him putting down her things and closing the trunk, she still had a strong sense of unreality.
Yu Zhile didn't have much research on cars, and he could recognize that Yu Zilian drove an Audi, it seems that he has probably mixed well over the years, and he didn't collapse because of her disappearance that year, after thinking about this, she was relieved, and she was a little worried that Yu Zilian would affect his life because of her resignation.
On the road, Yu Zilian concentrated on driving, and did not take the initiative to talk to Yu Zhile, she turned her head boredly at the window and looked at the streets and street lamps that passed quickly for a while, and finally became impatient and curious, and asked, "How have you been in the past eight years?" β
She has long regarded Yu Zihuan as a family member, and now it is equivalent to a reunion after a long absence, and her sister's heart has long been impatient, eager to know his experience over the years, what university he has been admitted to, whether he has had a girlfriend, and whether he has found a job he likes, but she is afraid that Yu Zihuan will annoy her, so she only asked a general question with restraint, and then looked at Yu Zihuan with bright eyes.
Yu Zihuan glanced at her slightly sideways, and said lightly, "It's okay." β
Yu Zhile was still waiting for his next step, and this turned out to be his final answer. She wanted to speak again and again, blinked again and again, and finally held back a sentence: "Is it okay to be good or bad?" β
Yu Zihuan heard her slightly dissatisfied and aggrieved little tail tone, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, but her eyes were still looking straight ahead, "It's good." β
Still didn't get what he wanted to hear, Yu Zhile had to comfort himself and was not in a hurry, since they had reunited, they would always have the opportunity to learn about his experience over the years, and now it was better to let Yu Zihuan concentrate on driving.
Yu Zilian's current home is in a mid-range community that has been newly built for a few years, less than half an hour's drive from the original old house.
Yu Zilian parked the car in the underground garage, took out Yu Zhile's luggage, after the elevator came, he stepped in first and pressed the door opening button, Yu Zhile stepped into the elevator and tripped over the gap between the elevator and the ground, and fell directly into it, but fortunately, Yu Zihuan quickly helped her.
The elevator door closed slowly, but both of them remained stiff.
They know all too well what it means to fall and stumble.
Yu Zhile didn't dare to come out, and after waiting for a long time without any change in the surroundings, Yu Zilian's solid forearm was still firmly grasped by her, so she dared to turn her eyes and look up at him.
"How? I didn't have anything out of the ordinary, did I? β
Yu Zilian's expression was also very grim, he shook his head, and held Yu Zhile's shoulders to help her stand up straight, "It seems that I was right to let you out of there, the reason why you crossed over has nothing to do with that house." If you don't go back there, you should be able to avoid crossing again. β
Yu Zhile thought about it, the first time she crossed was on the stairs of the old house, and the second time she almost crossed although it was also on the stairs, but it was not the same staircase as the first time, and the crossing location more than an hour ago was moved to the bedroom door, so in fact, the problem was not her, but the house?
Yu Zhile couldn't help but think of the haunted house. She shuddered when they had been living in the haunted house for so long, but when she thought about it, she felt that something was wrong, "But why are the others okay in that house?" β
Yu Zihuan saw her looking like a curious baby, and touched her head helplessly, "Because you are special." β
Yu Zhile was dazzled by his smile, but he still couldn't bear the act of touching her head, and stood on tiptoe to touch it back, "You are so tall, my sister's majesty is not blasphemous/desecrated!" β
Yu Zilian's face sank, and he grabbed the claw she was about to commit, "The age on your ID card is younger than mine." β
Yu Zhile, whose wrist was held, resisted stubbornly, jumping and jumping in front of Yu Zilian, but he was always easily suppressed due to his height and size. Once upon a time, this was her prerogative, and she flattened her mouth and said, "No matter, I'm my sister." β
With a "ding" sound, the nineteenth floor where Yu Zilian lived arrived, and he let go of Yu Zhile's hand and motioned for her to go out first. Yu Zhile glanced at him, rubbed the top of his head quickly, and rushed out of the elevator before he could react.
Yu Zihuan held his messed hair, dragged his suitcase out of the elevator, looked at Yu Zhile's happy back and said, "You are going in the wrong direction." β
Yu Zhile hurriedly turned around, walked back against the wall, and saw that Yu Zilian didn't mean to settle accounts with her, so he rubbed to his side.
Yu Zihuan took out the key to open the door, carried the suitcase and Yu Zhile into the house, then turned on the light, bent down and took out a pair of slippers for her to change.
Yu Zhile put on his slippers and followed behind Yu Zilian, swept around the situation in the house, and said in surprise: "You rent such a big house alone." β
Just in terms of the scope that Yu Zhile saw, the left hand of the door is the dining room, the right hand is the living room, the decoration style is simple, mainly black and white, plus the chandelier is a cold light, a certain amount of dΓΉ increases the effect of a wide field of vision, but the area itself is definitely not small, and the area of the dining room alone is more than twice the kitchen of the old house.
"It's not rented." Yu Zilian replied lightly, then took Yu Zhile to the bedroom door and opened the doors of the master bedroom and the second bedroom, "Which one do you like?" β
Yu Zhile was completely dumbfounded, such a big house in S City was not rented, and she didn't dare to think about it when she just graduated from college, "You...... You didn't do anything illegal, did you? β
"What do you think? I partnered with Nie Hong to open a company, and the performance was not bad, although there was a relationship with his family, but it was also a serious business to make money innocently. He and Nie Hong started their own business when they were in college, although the product technology was developed by him, and Nie Hong was mainly an investment in the nature of playing tickets, but it is undeniable that the Nie family's connections played a great role in the early days.
Yu Zhile was relieved when he heard him say this, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, made a heroic appearance with a thick voice, and joked: "Okay, good, it's not in vain that I have cultivated you for many years." β
"Thank you." Yu Zilian cooperated and clenched his fist at her.
Yu Zhile looked at the two bedrooms facing each other, one of which obviously had traces of Yu Zilian's residence, so she pointed to the other one, "This one is good." β
Yu Zihuan wanted to give her the master bedroom, but she didn't say anything when she chose this, nodded, helped her put her luggage into the house, and then continued to show her around other rooms.
"There's a bathroom next to your room, but it's a shower, and there's a bathtub in the master bedroom, so if you want to take a bath, you can go there." At the other end is the study room, the notebook is for my work, and if you want to use the computer, you can use the desktop. After turning around and getting acquainted with the environment, the two returned to the place where the living room and dining room meet, Yu Zilian looked at the time, turned back to Yu Zhile and smiled and said, "Are you hungry?" Shall I cook you something to eat? β
"Yes, yes." Speaking of eating, Yu Zhile's eyes that were dizzy by Yu Zilian's bunch of introductions instantly lit up, "Speaking of which, I haven't eaten for eight years, although these eight years are just a momentary thing for me hahaha." β
Yu Zilian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his eyes were a little dazed, but he quickly regained his bright smile, "You play by yourself for a while first, and I'll call you when I'm ready." β
"Don't you need my help?" In Yu Zhile's impression, Yu Zilian is still the child who can only heat leftovers.
"No, you just came back, take a good rest, watch TV or play on the computer for a while." Yu Zilian stretched out his arm and rolled up his sleeves, turned around and entered the kitchen.
Yu Zhile was also happy to be idle, just let Yu Zilian show his hand to see if his skills had improved over the years.
Yu Zhile turned on the TV and watched it for a while, but there was no program he was interested in, so he prepared to go to the study to surf the Internet for a while.
Yu Zhile used to be an Internet addicted young man, but in the past two years, he has almost quit, and he has the opportunity to pay attention to all kinds of gossip on the Internet and fish everywhere, which is really like a world away.
But as soon as she turned on the light in the study, the first thing that attracted her attention was not the two computers on the desk, but a whole wall of books, she took a closer look, basically all of them were scientific and technological content, some of them should be professional books related to the products developed by Yu Zilian's company, and there were many books related to quantum physics, the only ones were also science fiction books, and they were basically related to time travel. There are also a lot of materials spread out on the desk, most of which are also related to the theory of time travel.
For Yu Zhile, it was only a momentary matter, but for Yu Zilian, it was more than 2,900 days and nights, and in the eight years since she disappeared, he has never given up looking for her while trying to live up to her expectations.
Yu Zhile's heart was sour and swollen, and he couldn't tell what he felt. Yu Zihuan didn't forget her soon, she was very pleased, but she would rather he have no conscience and live less hard.
When Yu Zihuan made dinner and came to the study to call Yu Zhile, he seemed to see a little dog with drooping ears and listlessness, he couldn't help but go over and take her hand, and looked at her gently with dark and moist eyes, "Why are you unhappy?" β
Yu Zhile raised his head, blinked his big eyes a few times, and reached out to hug him, "Xiao Lian, I've worked hard for you all these years." β
Yu Zilian's eyes were full of surprise, and he excitedly raised his hand to hug her, who thought that Yu Zhile hugged him and immediately let go, and followed the aroma of food while touching his stomach, "Oh, I'm so hungry." β
Yu Zilian, who had hugged the empty one, smiled and sighed, put down his arms and followed him to the restaurant.
He made a sweet and sour short rib, a sour and spicy shredded potato, and a vinegared cabbage, all of which are home-cooked dishes, but it is not easy to make them colorful, flavorful, or fragrant, at least it is enough to amaze Yu Zhile, whose memory is still stuck in 2007.
Yu Zhile tasted a few dishes one by one, she has never been good at making sweet and sour things, Yu Zilian's level in this regard has surpassed her, and the shredded potatoes that are extremely finely cut and crisp to eat are really surprising to her.
"When did you become so good at cooking?" As she spoke, she stuffed another chopstick and shredded potatoes into her mouth.
Yu Zilian, who was sitting opposite, looked at her with a smile, and when she asked, the smile deepened in his eyes, and he said narrowly: "I don't know who it is, tell me that the first-class chef can get extra points in the college entrance examination, so of course I practiced hard." β
I didn't expect Yu Zihuan to remember such a long time ago, Yu Zhile was choked by shredded potatoes, she cleared her throat, pretended to be stupid and said: "Yes, who is it, how can you deceive people?" β
Yu Zihuan didn't demolish her, and sandwiched another piece of ribs for her, "I didn't get extra points in the college entrance examination, so do you give me extra points?" β
Yu Zhile was stunned for a moment, swallowed the food in his mouth, and quickly patted his ass and said, "Why do you need extra points?" You're a perfect score for me! β
Yu Zichuan knew that she didn't pay attention when she said this, and she was completely in the state of running the train, but she couldn't help but smile very much, "Okay, you have to remember what you said." β
