Chapter 17: Dinner Together

"You sit and watch TV for a while, and I'll prepare dinner." Yu Qingyan entered the house and took off his shoes, carried a few large cabbages and went straight to the kitchen, completely without taking care of me.

After I entered the house, I glanced at her house, the space is not large□□ two bedrooms and a living room of ten square meters can almost see the whole picture at a glance, the decoration is a pastoral style, although the surface looks simple, simple and simple, but all kinds of furniture, electrical appliances are still faintly revealing the extraordinary quality of the owner. In particular, the polozne carpet on the floor is the finishing touch to this living room. And this carpet is the one that Yu Jingxi carried from my yacht, and it turns out that she used it in this place. Then it is not difficult to guess who is responsible for the decoration design of this house, which is not too difficult for an exhibition planner who has studied abroad.

"Here, eat some fruit." Yu Qingyan took out a fruit bowl from the kitchen and put it on the coffee table, and then hurried away. The sofa seat I chose was facing the sliding kitchen door, and she was clearly visible through the glass door. I held the TV remote control and pressed it from one to sixty, and I didn't pay attention to a single program, all I remember is Yu Qingyan's busy back in the kitchen. She made a qiē in an orderly manner, and she was quite skillful in washing, cutting, and stir-frying. After a while, the smell of food wafted into the living room, and I didn't have that disgust with food, but I wanted to try her handiwork.

"There are two more dishes, and the meal will be served soon." She pushed open the kitchen door and brought the food to the table, and then passed through the living room and opened the window, so that the smell of oil smoke in the room could dissipate quickly.

"I'm not hungry, you take your time." I happily agreed to her, and a sudden feeling of emotion arose in my heart when I watched her busy. You know, in the place where I live, no one has ever dared to walk in front of me while I was watching TV, and I have never been in a room with such a heavy smoke for even a minute. This seems to be an extremely ordinary scene in life, even a scene that I have never paid attention to, but it touches me a little at the moment, why?

"Come and eat, dogs." Yu Qingyan greeted me while setting the dishes and chopsticks.

"Okay." I walked to the table and sat down, and in an hour and a half it took me six dishes and one soup to serve, which was quite a lot for two people, not to mention that I was still an anorexic demon and couldn't eat these at all.

"Don't waste it, eat more." I really want to think about something, I haven't made up my mind to eat Yu Qingyan gave me an order.

"It's too rich for two people to eat so much."

"You're not growing up, the last time I saw you in the hospital, you had to eat seven or eight things for breakfast, so I made a little more." There was a little bit of fun in it, Yu Qingyan filled a bowl of rice for me.

"Uh......" I was speechless for a moment, frowning at the bowl of white rice, how could she remember this stubble.

From the very beginning, the meal was silent and difficult, and the silence was because I had the same habit of eating and sleeping as her, and the difficulty was just my own feeling. Objectively evaluating her cooking skills is at the level of a chef, light and delicious is more in line with my daily eating habits, but six dishes are too difficult for me who can only eat a few bites of food.

"Isn't the food appetizing?" Yu Qingyan saw my embarrassment and asked cautiously.

"No, it tastes good." I barely managed to squeeze out a polite smile, not wanting to disappoint her.

"You young people should like to eat something a little stronger, right?"

"No, I like light." You young people, I really don't like to hear these five words from her. I was older than anyone else in the world, but she always looked at me as a child. With that, I put down my chopsticks and took out a delicate blue velvet square box from my jacket pocket.

"I officially apologize to you for what happened at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau that day, please accept this."

Yu Qingyan frowned slightly, but quickly stretched out again, revealing a relieved smile and said, "I also have a gift for you." ”

"Send me?" I asked, somewhat flattered.

She nodded, walked into the bedroom and pulled out a beige paper bag: "Merry Christmas." ”

"Christmas?" This festival has long been erased in the demon world, and I have never had it.

"Today is Christmas Eve, tomorrow is. Open it and see if you like it or not. Yu Qingyan looked at me with his hands on the dining table, and his soft tone made me feel itchy.

"Let's tear it down together." I stood up and walked over to her and put my gift in her hand, and I opened it.

"Nice looking stud earrings." Yu Qingyan gave me a pair of electroplating blue six-pointed star studs, which echoed the devil's markings on the back of my ears.

"I saw this when I was picking out a gift for a friend this morning, and I thought it would suit you very well, so I bought it."

"Thank you, I'll wear it." I carefully put away the stud earrings and gave her a polite smile back.

"Compared to my gift, what you gave is too valuable for me to accept." Yu Qingyan didn't open the gift I gave her, but pushed it directly in front of me.

"Why don't you open it and see what it is?" I deliberately picked a brand that is not very common, just because I was afraid that she would not accept it, but it didn't seem to work.

"Don't look at it, I know how expensive this brand of watch is." I didn't expect her to recognize such an uncommon brand, and her knowledge is a little higher than that of many rich people who only know Hermes and Chanel.

"I never take back what I give away. The gift is already in your house, it is up to you to keep it or throw it away, and I will throw it away if you return it to me. ”

"Do you want to be so domineering?" Yu Qingyan said in a teasing tone, but I was not in the mood to joke with her.

"It's not overbearing, it's habit." I was already visibly unhappy when I said this, and I believe she could hear it.

"I'll keep it for you first, and you can come to me at any time to get it back."

I pouted and didn't answer, turned around and walked to the balcony of the living room, why should I take it back, what an inexplicable woman. To accept is to accept, and if you don't accept it, it's good to throw it away. Although I was a little angry, I pricked up my ears and listened to the movement behind me. After about two or three minutes, the sound of washing dishes came from the kitchen, and I quickly glanced back at Yu Qingyan, who was cleaning up the kitchen with her back to me. I looked at her back and suddenly felt the urge to go over and hug her.

With this strong urge, I quietly walked behind her and stretched out my hand around her waist. And the movement of her hand suddenly froze, and she stood motionless. This is the second time I've hugged her, and it's only been a day since I felt different from the last time. The difference is that I rely on her a little more, and the difference is that she is still elegant and moving in my eyes without an evening dress today.

"Dogs and horses." She turned off the faucet at the sink and whispered to me.

"Huh?"

"The doorbell is ringing, I'm going to open the door." What a disappointing sentence that made me have to let go of her. She walked out of the kitchen with a blank face, and I realized who would come to her at this point? No matter who it is, it's an uninvited guest.

"Ah, dear! Happy holidays! There was a demonic voice coming from the door, and you didn't have to think about it to know that it was Nala.

"Why are you here?" From Yu Qingyan's surprised tone, I judged that there was more than one person, so it was very likely that the girlfriend group came together.

"I'm here to accompany you for the holidays, Jingxi's girl is not here, of course we can't ignore you. I didn't say hello to you in advance, wouldn't it be inconvenient? Can I get in? ”

"Yes, yes." Yu Qingyan's reply was probably because my deposit zài made her worry. The secret group is the aunt group, and after adding a gossip queen Nala, Yu Qingyan will definitely have a headache. Thinking of this, I stood in the corner of the balcony to avoid being embarrassed by Nala's sight.

"You've just finished eating?" Nala followed Yu Qingyan into the kitchen and closed the door, while the other two guests, Pain and Mo Xiao, put the gifts and fruits they were carrying in the living room.

"Yan, today I and I accompanied Mo Xiao to apologize to you. She told me everything about the bar that day. She drank too much to do that, and now she regrets it very much, so many years of friends, don't worry about her. "Although Nala spoke quietly, I could still hear it clearly with my ears, and Mo Xiao made a special trip to apologize? Or is it a roundabout tactic?

"I don't have anything to say to her." Yu Qingyan was resolute and did not soften because of Nala's three or two sentences.

"Oh, dear, everyone has come to apologize in person! It's not that you don't know that she is so arrogant alone, how much courage it takes to apologize to you, don't deny others because of a misunderstanding! Let's go out later, don't keep a straight face, okay? ”

"I don't have any misunderstanding with her." Yu Qingyan still didn't budge.

"Oh, let's go out and talk again, let's go, let's go." Nala pushed Yu Qingyan out of the kitchen.

"Hey, you just had a guest?" When I passed by the dinner table, the sharp-eyed Nala asked coldly, and opened the gift I gave Yu Qingyan with ease.

"Who gave such an expensive watch? There are suitors so soon, huh? Iwa, you're not honest! ”

Sitting around the sofa, Pain and Mo Xiao were attracted by Nala's words, and looked back at Yu Qingyan, and I was waiting for her reaction. How would she explain it? Straight or cover-up?

"Oh, my friend put this for me to keep." In the end, it was scribbled to cover up.

"It's impossible, it's so delicately wrapped, it's obviously a gift, let's say which rich and handsome one gave it?"

"No, I said." Yu Qingyan snatched the box with one hand, and his tone was slightly flustered.

"So nervous, there must be a situation! Hurry up and be truthful. Nala tried Yu Qingyan with bad intentions, and I knew that she would not be able to resist Nalra's sharp teeth, so she generously walked out of the balcony to relieve her.

"I sent it." I can't hide from the first day of junior high but I can't hide from fifteen, so it's better to show up now than for Nala to find out later.

"It's not ...... Dogs and horses?! How did you end up here? Nala's eyes widened, and she froze in place. The others present were all startled, especially Mo Xiao's eyes immediately became dangerous when he saw me.

"I'm the guest she invited." I raised my chin slightly at Yu Qingyan and said it very easily.

"You ...... When did it become so ripe? Nala pointed at me and then at Yu Qingyan, thinking quickly.

"I've known her for a long time." I don't want to hide anything, I'll confess.

"Huh? Already known? Then why did you pretend you didn't know each other in front of us the first two times? ”

"You were introducing you from beginning to end in those two times, and you didn't give me a chance to speak at all." I reluctantly spread my hands and smiled at the curl of my lips.

"That's right! Mistakes and mistakes, I can't control it as soon as I talk too much. "Nala is very self-aware. Yu Qingyan, who was standing beside her, kept looking down at her toes and didn't speak, I guess what she was thinking about now must not be how Mo Xiao was going to apologize, but how they would associate with me and her, no matter what she thought, I was selfish, and I hoped that the more Nala thought about it, the more she would be biased.
