Time is like quicksand between your fingers, the more you want to grasp it, the more it flows through your fingers. Three years, more than a thousand days and nights, looking back, Gong Baorou no longer remembers how she came over. She and Zhao Xiuxiu did not move out to live as expected, but still lived in the Lin family under Liu Yingai's every request.

Of course, they won't stay just because of Liu Yingai.

Zhao Xiuxiu died of illness at the beginning, and Gong Baorou remembered that the doctor told her that she was a sudden illness, and she had a very sudden attack, and she died within half a month of being sent to the hospital. However, Gong Baorou has now discovered the precursors of this disease.

When Gong Baorou was about seventeen years old, Zhao Xiuxiu's health began to deteriorate. As a chef, pot shaking is one of the must-have skills, one that makes the most of your wrist strength. Gong Baorou happened to see Zhao Xiuxiu once when she was shaking the pot, and the pot actually took off her hand with a bang. Zhao Xiuxiu bent down slightly and rubbed her wrists. And when Gong Baorou walked over, she said "nothing" rather carelessly.

Of course, Zhao Xiuxiu is an excellent chef, and now she is in the prime of life, less than forty years old, how can she get rid of the pot under normal conditions? It's a pity that Zhao Xiuxiu said that she didn't want to go to the hospital for a checkup. Gong Baorou had no choice but to start with the ingredients and make up for Zhao Xiuxiu.

In addition, Gong Baorou doesn't know how to describe her current relationship with Lin Shuping. Just friends? No, they both know each other's intentions, and in addition to saying it directly, both of them have expressed it vaguely. Is it a lover? But they didn't pierce that layer of window paper after all.

Gong Baorou once sighed that if Lin Shuping's personality was not that calm and mature, but cheerful and outgoing, she would not fall in love with him so lightly. A warm confession is not as good as moisturizing things and silent care can move her, and she believes in doing it more than she says. Moreover, fiery love, once is enough.

But are they lovers now? It's been three years, and the few hugs and kisses have confused Gong Baorou.

No way, who let themselves choose this person. As long as she thought of him, Gong Baorou felt that her choice this time was right.

After careful consideration, Gong Baorou still felt that she should move out. Living in someone else's home is a head shorter than someone else's after all, and I always have a feeling that my status is not equal to Lin Shuping's, which is not conducive to the development of feelings.

Thinking of this, Gong Baorou couldn't help but smile.

She has already determined that it is the second set of the unit next door to the Lin family, and the family has decided to sell the house and settle abroad because their son went abroad.

The house in this neighborhood of theirs is actually a bit strange, a building has a total of nine floors, but every three floors are divided into a suite, and the three floors are all connected. The first floor is the living room, kitchen, and much more, the second floor is the master bedroom and study, and the third floor is the attic utility room and guest room. Gong Baorou lives on the third floor with Zhao Xiuxiu.

Because it is not a villa after all, and the construction history of this community is not short, so the homeowner does not offer a high price, but it is a bit troublesome to pay it all at once. However, Gong Baorou has already decided that she must buy this house. She will be busy in the future, and it will be difficult to take care of Zhao Xiuxiu every day for a while, and it will be bad if there is any emergency. And here, so close to the Lin family, they can occasionally take care of each other. According to Gong Baorou's memory, after Lin Shuping and Lin Shu'an grew up, Lin Zhishen and Zhao Xiuxiu directly bought the one downstairs for the two brothers to live in. Although the two brothers did not move down.

Therefore, as long as Gong Baorou and the others stay in this community, they can always live together, and the distance is not far. Haicheng is so big, the pace of life is so fast, and it is far away, who knows if the relationship between the two families will gradually fade. In Gong Baorou's selfish heart, she still doesn't want to be estranged from Lin Shuping, and she is also willing to manage this relationship well.

If she had asked Master, she would have lent her money.

In the past three years, the relationship between Gong Baorou and Sun Fugui has become more and more intimate, Sun Fugui regards Gong Baorou as his granddaughter, and Gong Baorou also loves him.

Gong Baorou made up her mind and decided to sue Zhao Xiuxiu after buying that house, otherwise Zhao Xiuxiu would definitely sue Liu Yingai, and Liu Yingai would never let them move out. Of course, Zhao Xiuxiu herself is not opposed to moving out, she also handed over all the money to Gong Baorou to take care of, knowing that Gong Baorou has plans to buy a house.

In December, the first snow fell in Haicheng.

Lin Shuping is already in his third year of high school, and Gong Baorou has also been promoted to the second year of high school, the two of them are in the same school, but Gong Baorou's grades are only at the upper middle level, which is naturally much different from Lin Shuping's high list. Although Gong Baorou herself doesn't care about her academic performance, Zhao Xiuxiu doesn't have high requirements for her daughter in terms of cooking skills, but she is very concerned about her studies.

"Arou, you have to leave a way out for yourself. A college diploma, you must get it. ”

Gong Baorou thought so. Although she didn't think about changing jobs, it didn't matter if she had a few more certificates.

Because he is a junior in high school, Lin Shuping only has a week's vacation from the beginning of the New Year, and he has to live in the school after tutoring all day and night, Gong Baorou has no choice but to make more food for him.

Liu Yingai was very relieved of her son, and she didn't send one away, only Gong Baorou went with him under the pretext of returning to school.

"It's definitely going to take a lot of trouble in the third year of high school, I'll peel some walnuts for you, put a little sugar, and eat it with sugar if you like sweet." Walking out of the community, Lin Shuping took Gong Baorou's hand without any scruples, Gong Baorou's face was slightly red, but he quietly used a little force to hold him. Along the way, perhaps at the beginning, it was to hide the awkwardness and shyness in her heart, Gong Baorou said a lot, but as she spoke, she was really worried.

"You always eat irregularly, but you should be careful in school, don't read a senior year of high school and collapse your body." Thinking of so many senior high school parties who don't even want their lives for the college entrance examination in the future, Gong Baorou is not at ease.

Lin Shuping nodded silently, his face was no longer the indifference that no one should enter, but with a little gentleness and a smile. He was holding Gong Baorou in his right hand and pulling the suitcase in his left hand, looking a little more mature.

When he walked to the corner of a street in front of the school gate, Gong Baorou saw the long telescopic door from a distance, and moved his hands a little uncomfortably, and Lin Shuping's hands subconsciously tightened.

"It's already here, I'll send you here." Gong Baorou whispered.

Lin Shuping let go of his hand and stood face to face with Gong Baorou.

"Come back on Saturday and Sunday when you have time, and I'll make you something to eat." Gong Baorou was wearing a white woolen coat, a white plush hat, and a pair of gray boots on her feet, and she looked like a junior high school student.

"Okay." Lin Shuping reached out and touched her face, tugged her collar, and then bent down.

“！”

Gong Baorou thought he was going to kiss her, and closed her eyes slightly with a little shyness, but unexpectedly, this kiss only fell on her face in the end.

"I'll go in first."

Lin Shuping's back gradually disappeared from sight, and Gong Baorou stood in place until she couldn't see at all. Although she still had shame in her heart, she was more disappointed.

Not disappointed that he just gave her a kiss on the cheek, but disappointed that there was still a distance between them. Although Lin Shuping was asked to come back more when he was free, Gong Baorou knew that with such a strong sense of responsibility and self-control, it was estimated that he would not meet her for a long time.

If you think about it, there really doesn't seem to be any more intimate behavior between them.

Gong Baorou sighed. But didn't you already know that he was such a person? No one is perfect, Lin Shuping's silence and restrained love touched her, and she couldn't ask the other party to become enthusiastic and outgoing.

Gong Baorou sighed, rubbed her hands, and walked home.
