In the following days, Zhou Jiyou noticed that Shen Feibai seemed to be busier than before, plus she also started school, the two didn't see each other many times a week, most of them came over and cooked a meal together.

She looked at the slender and clean hands, and occasionally she was a little stunned.

In front of people, these hands are placed upright on the anchor table in front of the camera; After people, these hands wash vegetables, cook, and wash dishes. In my impression, as long as he was there, she had never touched the kitchen with a single point of oil and water.

She felt bad, but she enjoyed the feeling of being taken care of, so she simply let him go.

He doesn't like to wear gloves when washing dishes, there is a plastic barrier, and he may ignore some raised particles when he looks at it with his eyes alone, and he believes in the sense of exploration of his fingertips.

Zhou Jiyou had a hard temper and said: "If it's not clean, I'll wash it again when I use it, it's a big deal." ”

The subtext is: protect your hands.

Shen Feibai didn't speak, but after a careful understanding, he smiled.

He suddenly likes to laugh recently, purses his lips, and raises the corners of his lips slightly, not showing teeth, not wanton, like everyone is beautiful.

Zhou Jiyou looked at the itching, reached out and lifted his cheeks with his index fingertips, and pulled out a stiff smile under the artificial effect, staring at him, looking left and right.

I didn't think it looked good, so I quickly put my hand down and said intriguingly: "Sure enough, it still depends on temperament." ”

Shen Feibai was slightly stunned, not very understanding: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Jiyou shook his head and walked by: "It's not much." ”

Under the polish of the old days, he began to gradually exude a calm and gentle temperament, if he did not know his past, who would have associated him with the poor and introverted rural boy.

Those who passed away failed to ruthlessly defeat him, and they were destined to achieve him step by step, Zhou Jiyou thought.

After Shen Feibai left that night, she lay on the bed and chatted with Jing Qiao, and told her the result of the discussion with Shen Feibai: "He said that there is no need to invite guests, your cousin went in by himself, and he just did it casually." ”

Jing Qiao smiled on the other end of the phone: "Your family is modest." My cousin also said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and those who are prepared do not have a chance, and no matter how well prepared they are, it is in vain. So the key is that the opportunity he provides is important. ”

He's a talker. Zhou Jiyou replied: "It's your cousin who is humble." ”

Jing Qiao was only responsible for passing the word in the middle, and didn't care about anything else: "Anyway, it's decided, don't drag it out any longer." Why don't you just have a meal, and I won't ask you to pay for it? ”

Zhou Jiyou didn't squeak, if it was really just a meal, it would be nothing, I was afraid that I was just going too hard, it was for another purpose.

As soon as she and Shen Feibai said that since the other party insisted on treating him back to thank him, not to mention that there was a relationship with Jing Qiao, he didn't shirk it anymore and agreed.

Zhou Jiyou is accompanied by a family member, and this feeling is quite fresh, just like ...... She is his virtuous helper, the woman behind him.

It's strange that after the two of them are together, she often thinks of the five years since she came back to Beijing, not long or short, and the person who breathed the same city air with her all the way was always him.

used to see herself as an independent individual, even if Lei An and his wife took care of her as a goddaughter, she was embarrassed to trouble them, and basically took care of everything herself. Fortunately, my luck is not bad, I have not had a major illness, no more than two minor illnesses, and some troublesome trivial matters can be solved by myself. She never felt lonely, let alone lonely. Probably because I'm used to it.

When I think about it now, many emotions come to my heart.

In the past five years, she and him can also be regarded as dependent on each other, and there is an invisible bond between them.

Sitting side by side with him in the dining room, opposite Jing Qiao and her cousin Zhang Qi, he was beside him as if no one was preparing dishes for her, all of which she liked, and she felt that their bond seemed to be tightened more unconsciously.

Jing Qiao bit his chopsticks and looked at them with a smile.

Cousin Zhang Qi bumped her elbow against her, she was startled, and the chopsticks almost poked her tongue. Sideways glance: What for?

Zhang Qi stretched out his hand and handed her the phone, and a line of words was written on the screen: When can I speak?

Jing Qiao looked at her with an unconcealed eagerness, slowly returned the phone under the dining table, cleared his throat, and said to the other side: "That...... Shen Feibai? ”

She hadn't called him by his first name in person, and she was a little stuck.

Shen Feibai just clipped a pearl ball to Zhou Jiyou with chopsticks, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes to look at her while putting the chopsticks back in their place.

Zhou Jiyou also looked at her.

Jing Qiao was a little weak-hearted, both of them looked at her, she didn't dare to look at Zhou Jiyou, and smiled desperately at Shen Feibai: "I heard Qiqi say that your station is preparing a new news program, called "Today's Focus", right?" ”

Shen Feibai nodded: "Yes." ”

There was no wave, but Jing Qiao choked suddenly, forgetting how to continue. Zhou Jiyou's eyes were in the afterglow, she said it in a high-sounding manner before, which was equivalent to setting her up, and now she didn't dare to look at her at all.

"Oh, say it yourself." She pushed Zhang Qi and sat aside with her burden.

Zhang Qi was much calmer than her, calmed down, and said frankly to Shen Feibai: "Anchor Shen, I know that you have set up a column group, I am very interested in this show and want to join, can you help introduce me?" ”

Zhou Jiyou was a little funny, and glanced at Jing Qiao, who was bored and invisible.

She didn't stand to intervene, and she didn't want to mix it, she lowered her head and continued to eat hers, using chopsticks to pick up the pearl balls put into the bowl, the surface of the meatballs was covered in silver, and when she took a bite, it was soft and glutinous, and the taste was not bad.

In my ears, I heard someone next to me speak unhurriedly: "I can try, but I can't guarantee that it will help." ”

Zhang Qi was excited: "I am very grateful if you are willing to try, thank you, thank you, you are simply a noble person on the path of my career!" ”

She slapped her ass too loudly, and Jing Qiao covered her face silently.

Although it was Zhang Qi who had a treat, when the two sisters were unconscious, Shen Feibai used the excuse of going to the bathroom and settled the account early.

He sat back, Zhou Jiyou squinted, knowing and convinced.

He asked silently with his eyes, and she leaned over to his ear: "What kind of money are you charging?" ”

He grabbed her hand under the table and held it, and whispered, "Isn't it good to give you face?" ”

The two calluses in the palm of her hand rubbed against the back of her hand, itching. She wanted to dodge and escape, but he squeezed slightly.

Maybe their movements didn't hide from each other, or maybe their expressions were exposed, Jing Qiao and Zhang Qi both had smiles in their eyes.

At the checkout, Zhang Qi heard the waiter say that this table had been closed, and it was a lotus flower with a lotus tongue, and her mouth was as sweet as honey, so she must find a chance to really invite her.

Shen Feibai politely declined.

Coming out of the elevator, Zhou Jiyou saw Jing Qiao's aggrieved appearance that she wanted to speak again, and slowed down slightly, so that she could have a chance to talk to herself.

Jing Qiao's little daughter-in-law pulled her wrist and whispered, "Porridge, don't be angry with me." ”

She wanted to laugh, but held back, and made a cold appearance: "You are so capable, how dare I be angry with you." ”

Jing Qiao saw Zhang Qi looking back at her, glared at her, and then laughed bitterly: "I'm her sister, I can't say no, if I don't help her." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Jiyou said lightly, "If you don't help her, you can't do it, I can just drag Shen Feibai into this troubled water." Whatever you make him think of me, he will think that I acquiesced. ”

In fact, she really thought that Shen Feibai agreed to help Zhang Qi because of her, and he responded too simply, just nodding after a moment's pause.

Jing Qiao bit his lip: "You explain it to him, just say that you don't know, he should believe it." ”

It happened that at this moment, Shen Feibai glanced back at Zhang Qi when he was constantly looking for a talker.

That glance made Zhou Jiyou feel like his heart wall was shattered, like ...... He was afraid that she would be lost, so he looked at her to see if she could keep up.

She said she didn't know about it beforehand, and of course he would. However, this kind of afterthought behavior made her feel very uncomfortable. His career is about to start, and he is still a new ordinary broadcast host, and he needs to be supported by leaders, so how can he have the right to speak to promote others.

She wanted him to live a good life and not have to be burdened by anyone and everything, just like her.

But now, it doesn't seem to work. Because...... Because she herself can't guarantee that she will be able to continue to be clear and simple.

When they went back, Zhou Jiyou and Shen Feibai walked side by side.

The autumn tiger has not yet receded, and the weather in Beijing is still in the season when the summer heat is delayed. The wind is relatively dry and accompanied by sand and dust.

The two went to the subway station, speechless all the way. It's not that he has nothing to say, but Zhou Jiyou is thinking about his thoughts silently, and he doesn't notice for a while that someone's eyes that occasionally glance at him are actually full of words.

She was not attentive when she walked, and tripped over a loose floor tile, and there was standing water under the floor tile, and when it was dented, the water splashed out and landed on her foot.

She took out a pack of tissues and was ready to wipe them, the tissue bag was pulled away by him, she raised her eyes, he tore open the package, and squatted down without saying a word.

She looked down, his neat short hair was smooth, and the movement of wiping the water stains on her feet was also smooth.

Passers-by turned their heads to look at them, and somehow, for the first time, she felt embarrassed. It was also slightly hot cheeks, but it was different, she hadn't thought about hiding before, but this time she did.

She took a half step to the side, avoiding his hand, and said, "No, no more wipe." ”

He reached for his hand again, not even the side edge of his shoe, and gently wiped away a dangling piece of sewage before straightening up.

There was a garbage bin more than ten meters away in front, walked to him, threw the paper ball in, he returned a pack of tissues to her, she took it, quickly pulled out one in front of him, and dragged his hand over, not gentle, but careful, every finger was wiped one by one.

"Alright." Satisfied, he was about to shake his hand away, but he was unsuspectingly held by him, and slowly, his fingers were crossed.

He held her hand and raised it upward, looking down, a smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth: "I've wanted to do this for a long time." ”

"......" Zhou Jiyou was both surprised and ...... Softhearted.

I don't have the heart to tease him, he wants to hold hands, so ...... Pull it.

But he refused to give in: "If you had done this earlier, I wouldn't have stepped on water just now." ”

He shifted his gaze from the clasped hand to hers, "Well, I won't let you step on it again." ”

Zhou Jiyou opened his eyes: "What you said." "Pull him forward.

Approaching the subway entrance, she looked at the sloping roof in front of her and said, "I don't know if they asked you for dinner." ”

Shen Feibai paused: "Hmm." ”

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at him: "Why did you agree?" ”

"I can understand her feelings. When I was an intern, I didn't have any connections to help me, and if I hadn't participated in competitions, I might still be floating with everything. You can help her a little bit, after all, ......," he stopped.

Zhou Jiyou stopped his pace and stared at him tightly: "After all, what?" ”

He looked at her: "After all, she is Jing Qiao's sister." With his other hand, he brushed away the flower-like thing that blew up from her hair, and said slowly, "Your former friends are all gone, Jing Qiao is the only one left, you care about her very much, don't you." ”

The sun fell on his deep eyes, golden, brilliant, and warm.

The heart was even more soft and unbearable, as if it was going to collapse at any time. She said, "Then why are you still rushing to pay the bill?" Don't say it anymore for my sake of face. ”

He smiled: "How much money can she have as an intern, it's not easy when she just arrived in Beijing." ”

She gave him a funny look: "It's easy for you, I don't want to go to that shabby place for you to live." ”

A smile flickered at the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Jiyou thought slightly and said, "Otherwise, you can move in with me, and I will sort out the study room for you as a bedroom." ”

He was silent.

Zhou Jiyou said: "What's the matter, don't you want to? ”

He still didn't speak.

"I don't want to forget it, I don't want to see you every day." She tried to shake his hand away, but he squeezed it hard, but couldn't.

Zhou Jiyou glared at him. She was genuinely angry, and God knows how determined she was to make the invitation.

"Xiaoyou." His voice was deep, "Give me some time." ”

"What time?" She frowned.

"Have the financial means to take care of your time."

She blurted out sternly: "Economic strength? Do you mean money? I don't need you to have much money, and you take care of me well now. ”

She was affirming him, perhaps unaware of it. Shen Feibai's smile resurfaced: "I want to marry you, the dowry can't be shabby, right?" ”

“……”

Zhou Jiyou couldn't spit out anything for a moment, his breathing was stuck in his chest, and finally he only said one sentence: "It's quite far away." ”

"Hmm." He admitted, the corners of his lips still hooked shallowly, his eyelids drooped, and he whispered, "Actually, it's not far away." ”
