Li Juli was uneasy to cook the ramen, her mind was full of the news that Quan Baolan was about to return, and there was a vague feeling of relief, as if the death row prisoner who had been living for years was finally waiting to be shot.

She couldn't deny her crush on Zheng Chengxian, and she didn't want to deny it, she thought that this secret would be hidden in her heart forever, but paper couldn't contain fire after all.

From the moment she received the text message from Quan Baolan, Li Juli was disillusioned, she didn't want to affect the friendship between the two because of this incident, and she didn't want to interfere with the development of the group. Ji-yeon, Eun-jeong, So-yeon, and Hyo-min are already sisters with deep feelings after getting along for a few years, and they must not hinder their dreams because of themselves.

As for yourself? Li Juli shook her head and smiled bitterly, unconsciously wringing the noodles in the pot in her hand, completely unaware that the curling steam temperature was no longer suitable for human delicate skin.

"We're back—" Eun Jing shouted happily from the living room, and then Hyo-min's laughter mingled with the disgruntled complaints of Sapphire Blue and Eun Jing.

"Hyomin, don't hug me, you're too heavy!" Quan Baolan's somewhat breathless voice came in, which made Li Juli tremble.

"What to cook? It smells so good - it's still Cyglioni who knows we're hungry and cooks something good and waits! ”

Xian Enjing poked her head into the kitchen and sniffed her nose a few times, her face full of joy.

"Right away, go and wait!" Li Juli squeezed out a smile at Enjing.

"Great!"

Xian En disappeared quietly, and her happy shout came from outside: "Ready to eat!" ”

Listening to the laughter outside, Li Juli secretly bit her lip, if Baolan refused to forgive herself, then she would rather quit than hinder the development of TARA.

Put on thick insulated gloves and carefully pick up the pot and walk out of the kitchen:

"Alright, let's eat"

The five of them were already seated around the table, like birds waiting to be fed.

"Ji-yeon, go take out the dishes and chopsticks!"

Li Juli put the pot on the table, took off her gloves and apron, hesitated and sat down beside Quan Baolan: "There is only ramen at home, I have to buy it tomorrow!" ”

"I'll go in a while, I still have money!" Quan Baolan leaned over and sniffed the ramen noodles as if he was intoxicated: "But someone has to come with me!" “

They have just debuted, they have no income yet, and their expenses are all based on their own savings. Several of them either came to Seoul to work alone. Either the family conditions are not good. In comparison, Quan Baolan is the one who is relatively wealthy, after all, there is a big writer behind her.

"I'll go with you when I'm done eating!" Li Juli looked at Quan Baolan and said worriedly.

"Hmm!" Quan Baolan nodded vigorously, his eyes focused on the steaming ramen pot, and his expression was not unusual.

"It's great to have two Ernnies here. Don't worry about eating and drinking! Park Hyo-min put his arm around Li Juli and smiled flatteringly.

"Why are you so troublesome, just call your brother-in-law and ask your brother-in-law to deliver it!" Park Ji-yeon took out the dishes and chopsticks and distributed them to everyone, and said with a natural face.

"Ahh

Jeon Baolan shouted dissatisfiedly, pursed her lips and stared at Park Ji-yeon angrily, her eyes wide.

Li Juli stood up with a weak heart and served ramen to everyone, not daring to look at Quan Baolan at all.

"How many times have I told you. Don't talk nonsense, if someone gets out, Sapphire Oni will be very embarrassed" Hyun Eun Jing casually slapped Park Ji Yeon's upright little ass and scolded softly.

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Park Ji-yeon rubbed her ass and muttered.

"Don't talk about it, let's eat first," Li Juli interrupted, and now that she was afraid of hearing anything related to Zheng Chengxian.

During the dinner, everyone talked and laughed, chatting about interesting things about today's work. Li Juli carefully observed Quan Baolan, and saw that she seemed to have nothing to do, happily gossiping about what she had seen today.

The meal was simple to simple, but it was pleasant and warm because of the people who ate it together, and only Li Juli was absent-minded and suspicious.

After eating, the others are responsible for cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. Quan Baolan trotted into the bedroom, and after a while, he changed his clothes and walked out with a pink wallet, his face full of unhappiness: "Juli, why do you always like to put my wallet in such a difficult place to find!" ”

"I'm sorry—" Li Juli apologized softly, with a puzzled sincerity on her face.

Quan Baolan obviously froze for a moment, and then smiled: "Why apologize, let's go!" We go big buying"

"Ernie, if I were to help with you, would you buy me ice cream?" Park Ji-yeon jumped up to the two of them and asked expectantly. There seemed to be a sparkle in the big eyes.

"No!" Quan Baolan teased: "Look at you, you eat sweets when you're so fat"

After speaking, ignoring Park Ji-yeon's dissatisfied shouts and walking out of the door with a smile, Li Juli hesitated and followed out.

There is a 24-hour convenience store just about 50 meters downstairs in their dormitory, where their daily necessities are basically complete.

Quan Baolan walked in front with a small bag and humming "TTL" softly. Li Juli followed behind, biting her lip a few times from time to time to think about how to speak.

The more she remained silent, the more she felt the pressure, and the heavy boulder in her heart was always hanging in the air.

After a while, he finally gritted his teeth and hurried a few steps to catch up with Quan Baolan, and mustered up the courage to say what he had always wanted to say: "I'm sorry, Baolan!" ”

Quan Baolan paused for a moment and then continued to walk into the convenience store: "What shall we buy?" Is it good to buy meat? Ji-yeon loves to eat meat! “

"Huh? Good! Li Juli was stunned for a moment and quickly replied, pulling out a trolley and following.

The two of them came to the meat counter and carefully picked them up.

"Buy beef. Oba said that you won't get fat if you eat this! But it's a bit expensive," Quan Baolan tilted her head in distress, and pointed a finger on Sakura's lips with a reluctant face.

"Then buy less, they can't eat it often anyway, if they eat as muscular as foreigners, it'll be over!" Li Juli said casually.

Quan Baolan 'giggled' and picked up a piece of beef with an attractive color and put it in the trolley.

"Will you do this when you buy it back?"

Li Juli thought for a while and shook her head: "When I was at home before, my mother didn't teach me to make this, or let's take it back and roast it, as long as it's cooked, it won't be too unpalatable!" ”

"It's so troublesome, I have to worry about whether I can make it when I buy it, whether it tastes good or not-" Quan Baolan turned around and walked to the vegetable area, muttering annoyancedly.

"This—" Li Juli hesitated for a moment, Quan Baolan's words seemed to have other meanings, but she was not sure in her heart. Suspiciously, he pushed the cart and followed.

"Actually, I knew it a long time ago!" Quan Baolan lowered her head and rummaged through a pile of verdant vegetables, as if she was talking about someone else's business.

"Huh?" Li Juli snorted in surprise, "I'm sorry!" Then why are you just-"

"I'm also embarrassed, you're not someone else" Quan Baolan raised her head and stared at Li Juli seriously, with condemnation in her eyes.

Li Juli understood the meaning of this, and lowered her head in shame and couldn't say anything to justify, just said 'I'm sorry'.

"You're my best and best relative, I really don't know what to do with you!" Quan Baolan turned his head to pick up the green vegetables, took a radish and looked at it carefully: "I told Oba about you, and he can't help it."

After speaking, he added another sentence in confusion: "Of course he has no way, he has never been able to do this kind of thing!" Hmph"

Li Juli felt embarrassed, the secret parties who thought they were all aware of it just kept talking about it, watching their own jokes? Thinking of this, Li Juli felt anger and grievances in her heart, and took a deep breath stubbornly:

"I'll forget about him and never say a word to him again, I promise"

"You and I have known each other for so many years, and I have always treated you as a good sister, and now we are debuting together. I really don't want to hurt you with such deep feelings, and Oba also said try not to make you sad, so we haven't made it clear to you, hoping that you will wake up on impulse."

Quan Baolan put the radish in the car and grabbed the celery, and didn't look at Li Juli from beginning to end.

"But we are all wrong, how can there be reason in matters of feelings! As long as we are still in this circle in the future, we will inevitably meet, and there is no way to forget about it."

Li Juli felt as if she had hit her heart with a sledgehammer, and for a while, her chest was so uncomfortable that she almost couldn't breathe. Like a fish stranded on the beach, he gulped in oxygen that did not exist in zài, and his face was pale and sad:

"I'll go to the president tomorrow to explain how to quit TARA and leave this circle in the future!"

"I just hope that I can still be a relative in the future, you are the best person for me after coming to Seoul, I don't want to lose your relatives!" (To be continued.) )
