Ye Qingyun looked at the half-cut potatoes in his hand, small pieces of irregular shape, small pieces and small pieces, and turned back with a wry smile and asked, "How are you going to burn your potatoes?" ”

Cheng Jiayi opened her innocent eyes: "Sour and spicy shredded potatoes." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ye Qingyun raised his eyebrows, reprocessed the cut potatoes that couldn't be seen in the shape of "silk" at all, and then looked at the complicated ingredients on the table, and asked again a little helplessly: "You really bought too much...... What else would you like to eat? ”

Cheng Jiayi tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "I want to eat fungus yam...... Well...... Still want to eat Coke chicken wings...... Would you make Coke chicken wings? I don't seem to be able to eat it in the store, but once I went to a friend's house for dinner, and she made it for me, saying that it was her specialty dish, which was super delicious, and I just wanted to try it myself......

Ye Qingyun turned out the materials she needed, opened the bag of black fungus, poured some water in the bowl, and then said while cleaning the chicken wings she bought, "Coke chicken wings are quite simple, come here and I'll teach you ......"

Cheng Jiayi jumped next to him happily, staring carefully at the movements of his hands, like a good student.

Ye Qingyun showed her with a smile: "If you want to taste a little bit, you have to make two cuts on the side first." ”

Cheng Jiayi nodded silently on the side.

Then he turned on the range hood, lit the gas hot pot, protected Cheng Jiayi a little back, and said: "Pour the chicken wings directly into it and fry them dry, the water is almost dry, pour the oil, and fry them until golden brown...... Do you eat spicy? ”

Cheng Jiayi: "A little bit. ”

Ye Qingyun grabbed two dried chili peppers and continued: "Look, that's it, the surface is golden brown, then put two chili peppers in and turn them over, and then pour Coke, it is best to cover all the chicken wings, and add a spoonful of dark soy sauce to taste." Open the fire...... Boiled...... Then, turn down the heat and slowly boil until the juice is reduced. ”

Cheng Jiayi smelled the sweet aroma, watched the cola soup in the pot slowly steaming thick with small bubbles, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Ye Qingyun smiled and cut a slice of lemon, put it on the plate, picked up the burned chicken wings with chopsticks, lined them up one by one, and finally held half of the lemon cut down in the air and pinched it hard, watched the lemon juice evenly poured on the chicken wings, and said: "This step is dispensable, I personally like it, try it?" ”

Cheng Jiayi took the plate and the chopsticks he handed over, and couldn't wait to pick up one and bite it, Ye Qingyun hurriedly grabbed her hand holding the chopsticks, stopped her from stuffing it into her mouth, and shouted: "Be careful of burning!" ”

Cheng Jiayi naughtily stuck out his tongue and blew on the chicken wings twice, before approaching his mouth, taking a small bite, chewing twice and swallowing it, and said with satisfaction: "It's super delicious!" Even better than the one my friend made last time! ”

Then he took another big bite, Ye Qingyun looked at her dotingly, there was soup stuck to the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help but rub it gently with his thumb, put it into his mouth, and licked it off with the tip of his tongue, mixed with the sweetness of soy sauce and salty cola.

Cheng Jiayi raised his head and looked at Ye Qingyun with his thumb in his mouth, and was stunned, forgetting even the action of chewing in his mouth. Ye Qingyun also looked back at her, looking at her dark and bright eyes with confusion, and a slightly open mouth, feeling that the urge to kiss her was about to be uncontrollable in the next second, so she quickly shifted her attention and said vaguely: "I haven't done it for a while, my craftsmanship is rusty, and it's not as delicious as the last time I burned it......"

Cheng Jiayi chewed the three or two times in his mouth and swallowed it, and responded: "I think it's already delicious!" It's true! ”

Ye Qingyun: "Well, let's sit and eat, and the two dishes will be very fast." ”

Cheng Jiayi obediently took the plate, sat down at the dining table, turned his back to him, and ate chicken wings silently. With warm food in my stomach, my brain seems to be turning again. After coming back from the MC, it was actually only a short period of time, but Ye Qingyun's attitude seemed to be doing a multiplier, deflecting in an ambiguous direction at her unpredictable speed.

The things she explained as "good friends' concerns" seemed to be a little bit more than good friends.

Actually, when the MC met, the moment he kissed him drunken was already a sign, right? It's just that at that time, my mind was still full of Shu Hang's affairs, and I only regarded it as a joke.

But...... It's been so many years, it's not like this when he was a child, and he has no reason to like himself, is it, when he grows up, the way he treats people is so easy to misunderstand? I don't know if his other female friends will be bothered?

The prompt sound of the rice cooker "Didi" interrupted her thoughts, Cheng Jiayi got up and came back with two bowls of rice, and soon, sour and hot shredded potatoes and fungus yams were also on the table.

Ye Qingyun untied her apron, sat down opposite her, and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Cheng Jiayi lowered his head and pulled the rice grains, nodded slightly, and stuffed two pieces of fungus into his mouth, and after swallowing it, he finally couldn't help asking: "Do you do the same to other friends?" ”

Ye Qingyun: "How?" Cook for him? When he was empty before, Yao Yufeng often came to eat. ”

Cheng Jiayi shook his head, not knowing how to express it: "No...... I mean...... Female Friends ......"

Ye Qingyun probably guessed what she meant, I am afraid that her recent actions have been a little too hasty, and she has crossed the bottom line of what she can bear. After all, it was actually quite undecent to change her clothes while she was asleep, and she was not very angry, but asked him to watch a movie? I was only thinking about it just now, but I didn't realize her abnormal reactions.

Ye Qingyun said suddenly: "I'm sorry." ”

Cheng Jiayi was puzzled: "Why? ”

Ye Qingyun: "About changing your clothes last night...... I'm sorry...... I didn't ......, though It's just that you don't sleep well......"

Cheng Jiayi bit her lower lip: "I know...... I was angry...... But I know you're not that kind of person......"

Ye Qingyun thought that after she turned around and went back to the room before, she might be aggrieved and sulking, and she had to try to persuade herself to forgive him, and finally adjusted to come out as if nothing happened, and her heart was filled with distress, so she couldn't help but say again: "I'm sorry......"

Cheng Jiayi: "It's okay...... Don't do that again...... In fact...... I don't know how to say it...... I thought I was going to move out in anger...... It's all messing around...... But...... I don't hate you...... I'm afraid that if I leave in anger, you may feel guilty, and we may not contact each other again...... It was gambling before...... Knowing that you have no malicious intent...... I lost contact for so long in one go...... You're so nice to me......"

Ye Qingyun listened carefully to her incoherent words, and suddenly made up her mind in her heart, and didn't want to care about the unsatisfactory results that she might have to face, so she gritted her teeth and blurted out: "Xiaoyi!" I love you! ”

Cheng Jiayi looked up at him in surprise and opened his mouth: "What? ”

Ye Qingyun repeated affectionately: "I love you!" ”

Cheng Jiayi couldn't believe it: "But ......"

Ye Qingyun seemed to understand her doubts and interrupted her: "I know...... I didn't ask you to answer me anything...... I just wanted to tell you that I love you...... It's good if you're still like this......"

After a pause, he added: "In the future, if you like someone else, just be brave enough to like it, don't worry about me, and I promise that I won't eat your tofu casually in the future......"

Who knows, Cheng Jiayi frowned, looked at him hesitantly, looked at it, tears rolled down, he took out a tissue to her in a panic, she wiped it and said, "Don't be so good to me...... If you are only a friend, you can respond to your kindness as a friend, but ...... If it's the kind of good that likes me, I can't respond to you, it's so unfair to you......"

Ye Qingyun had expected her to like herself equally, and she was also worried that she would be frightened by herself and directly refuse or run away, but she never thought that she would be entangled in the harm that her inability to respond might cause to him......

He smiled softly and touched her head: "It's okay, it's not for the sake of fairness, you don't have to be burdened." ”

Although Ye Qingyun told her not to be burdened. But what girl can be as if nothing happened after being confessed?

After lunch, Cheng Jiayi locked himself in the room alone, not daring to be alone with Ye Qingyun, but his mind was full of things about Ye Qingyun.

With her current state, if she confessed to anyone else, she would definitely refuse, but the other party was Ye Qingyun, who was different from anyone else, and his status in her mind might be as good as Shu Hang's.

Although there has been no contact for many years, just knowing that there is a person like him can make her feel extremely relieved.

Because they promise to be each other's best friends, they are worthy of trust and trust, and they are willing to confide all their hearts and secrets.

How could she be willing to refuse such a person? After refusing, even if he can continue to contact, his meaning to himself is completely different, and it is impossible to open his heart unreservedly as before.

Cheng Jiayi rolled around on the bed in a tangled way, his thoughts were floating around Ye Qingyun, suddenly thinking of his strengths and weaknesses when he was a teenager, suddenly curious about his love experience when he grew up, and suddenly wondering why he likes himself now, and finally settled on the "reason for losing contact".

13 years no see. Although it is said that I haven't seen each other for 13 years, the focus of this sentence is on the word "see".

#

The last time I saw him was indeed 13 years ago, the summer vacation after graduating from junior high school. Forgetting the reason for the appointment, the two of them rode bicycles and pressed every street and alley in Hecheng. When you are not tired, you chase after me, sweat sprinkled all the way under the scorching sun, excitedly hands off the handlebars, open high, facing the wind as if facing the upcoming new life in high school.

Children at that age are inevitably full of all kinds of reveries about high school, and they are greatly influenced by anime, as if they are one step closer to the beauty depicted in those stories when they enter high school.

Feeling tired, he stopped by the side of the road with the shade of the trees, and the dialogue and expressions were now completely forgotten, and the only details that could be remembered were the picture of raising his hands and trying to pluck the leaves above his head.

Ye Qingyun put one foot on the side of the sidewalk, straddled the bicycle, and picked a green leaf and played with it in the palm of his hand without much effort, Cheng Jiayi raised his hand as he did, but no matter how hard the foot on the sidewalk stood up, no matter how hard the fingertips stretched, they still couldn't reach the lowest blade.

Ye Qingyun made fun of her at the time, she remembered that she was still unconvinced and parked the car, so she simply jumped to pick the leaves, but she was too small, she jumped up hard, her fingertips barely touched the leaves, and she didn't have time to pull them off with force in her hands.

She seemed unwilling to lie that the tree above his head should be lower, but when she ran to him, she still couldn't pick it up when she jumped up, and finally he pulled the branch down a little, so that she finally got her wish.

#

Obviously, when they were playing together, they were so natural and comfortable good friends, and when they said goodbye, they also said that they would go to a certain place to play together next time, but in the end, because Ye Qingyun did not take the high school entrance examination, Jiayi was admitted in advance, so that the two of them parted for 13 years.

High school is completely different from the ideal, 90% of life is occupied by heavy schoolwork, not to mention having to get up in the dark, having to go home after evening self-study every day, weekends are also various cram schools, and the remaining 10% are busy building relationships with new friends, so the two schools, which are only 40 minutes by bike, have become a chasm that they will never cross again.

However, as I said before, the focus is on the word "see".

Although they did not see each other again, they continued the habit left by junior high school and exchanged ideas by letter. Pages full of letterheads, folded into the uniform kraft envelope of the post office, affixed with stamps, and stuffed into the standard green mailbox at the school gate with great anticipation.

Become the sustenance of each other's secrets.

If you don't meet, you will never be born. Her joy, her melancholy, her entanglement, her frustration...... He knows it all.

Until, just before the college entrance examination, she received a letter from the address on the envelope that was not his note.

With apprehension and incomprehension, she opened the letter, which was the content of a boy full of affection and asking for friends.

He introduced himself as Ye Qingyun's tablemate, and every time he saw Ye Qingyun receiving a letter, he was full of envy, and he often heard Ye Qingyun mention her, so he finally couldn't help it, begged Ye Qingyun to show him the content of the letter, and then mustered up the courage to write this letter to her.

It was as if the diary had been peeked at, and Cheng Jiayi at that time had a feeling that his privacy had been violated, and he was very, very, very annoyed, and he couldn't find words to describe the feeling of anger and grievance.

Although the last letter sent to Ye Qingyun did not write about any secret things, it was nothing more than some daily routines of exams and making friends, but those were all told to Ye Qingyun alone, and he showed them to other people without her consent, which was serious enough to be convicted of "betrayal" in her immature mind.

So she didn't write a letter anymore in a fit of anger, she didn't reply to Ye Qingyun's letter at the same table, and when she received Ye Qingyun's apology letter, she also stuffed it directly into a drawer.

If he had been more generous and considerate at that time, and could have understood from his point of view, that adolescent boys would have more or less a little show off and the means to maintain friendship between people of the same sex, then the situation would probably be very different today.

Later, through other classmates, I learned that the two were admitted to different cities, not only "met", but even the contact was finally completely severed.

#

However, just as first love is always unforgettable, even if it is a memory that has been beautified by time, he or she will always live in a dream young and beautiful.

The best friend identified in adolescence is the same, in the years to come, no matter how much distance is lost, and how many other friends are squeezed into the heart, this he or she will always occupy the name of "most".

No matter if you don't see you, or if you don't get in touch, the degree of intimacy has never been replaced, so the reunion after many, many years can still reveal the most vulnerable side naturally and without scruples.

is not afraid of being teased, and is willing to open the gauze to show him the wound, because he alone is already a comfort to her.

At about 5 o'clock in the evening, the smell of stir-fried vegetables tentatively entered Cheng Jiayi's room through the crack in the door. Then came Ye Qingyun's knock on the door and shouted through the door panel: "Come out to eat!" ”

Cheng Jiayi reluctantly got up from the bed, straightened her skirt, and opened the door with her slippers, but she didn't expect Ye Qingyun to be still guarding the door, she raised her head to look at him in a daze, and her long unkempt hair led him to unconsciously reach out and help her straighten it out.

But this time, she took a step back very vigilantly, raised her arm and signaled the forbidden action with her palm, Ye Qingyun playfully put on a surrender posture and turned around and walked to the table: "Eat!" ”

Cheng Jiayi kept his distance and followed, and the seat was also the one farthest away from him.

Ye Qingyun brought the chopsticks that were originally placed opposite him to her in a funny way, and said, "I won't eat you again, I have promised that I won't mess around again, don't do this......"

Cheng Jiayi bit the chopsticks, his eyes rolled twice, and he sat back down opposite him with the chopsticks.

Ye Qingyun sandwiched a small piece of pork ribs and put it in her bowl. Cheng Jiayi didn't eat it immediately, but settled down, and then said with a slight smile: "Or...... Let's talk, shall we? ”

Ye Qingyun nodded: "Okay." ”

Cheng Jiayi: "Anyway...... When did you start liking me? ”

Ye Qingyun: "A long time ago. ”

Cheng Jiayi: "How long?" ”

Ye Qingyun: "When I was in junior high school. ”

Cheng Jiayi: "Why didn't you confess at that time?" ”

Ye Qingyun: "Don't dare, and you didn't give me a chance to confess, you rejected me early in the morning......"

Cheng Jiayi: "I rejected you?" Is there such a thing? ”

Ye Qingyun: "Yes." ”

Cheng Jiayi: "But at that time, I didn't know that you liked me, how could I reject you...... Yes...... Forget it, I can't go back anyway...... But I can't figure it out...... It's been so long, why do you suddenly like me again? ”

Ye Qingyun: "It's not suddenly, it's all the time!" ”

Cheng Jiayi: "But, if we don't meet in MC, what are you going to do?" And...... After so many years, what if I get married? It's unreasonable......"

Ye Qingyun smiled: "What's unreasonable, if I don't see you again, maybe in a few years, I will find a suitable one and get married, but now that you are single, I am single, I think it is reasonable to tell you." ”

Cheng Jiayi: "According to what you say, it seems to be ...... You don't love me very much...... I don't have to...... However, it stands to reason that after liking it for so many years, it should be a deep feeling, right...... Isn't it contradictory? ”

Ye Qingyun: "So what? ”

Cheng Jiayi: "What? ”

Ye Qingyun: "Put aside these things that you feel contradictory, and just feel with your heart, do you think I love you?" ”

Cheng Jiayi: "You are very good to me...... But I thought you treated me as a good friend, so you took special care of me...... I actually...... It's not very clear now...... What exactly is love...... What is it really like to love someone......"

Ye Qingyun: "What about Shu Hang?" ”

At the mention of Shu Hang, Cheng Jiayi fell into deep thought.

She can be sure that there is love between her and Shu Hang, so what is love?

It's the sweet smile that can't help but curl up at the corners of your mouth when you think about it, the peace of mind that you can have no distractions when you're together, the thoughts that you remember in your heart when you're separated, the primordial desires that are involved when you hug, and the vinegar caused by domineering possession, and so on.

If the last jealousy is excluded, Ye Qingyun's feelings for her seem to be not much different from love.

Cheng Jiayi: "Will you be jealous for me?" ”

Ye Qingyun: "Yes." ”

Cheng Jiayi: "Then you still mention Shu Hang." ”

Ye Qingyun: "You and Shu Hang are in the past tense...... It's also a fact that I can't change it, I can only accept it. ”

Cheng Jiayi: "I may not be able to come out so quickly......"

Ye Qingyun: "I know ......"

Cheng Jiayi: "That...... I love yours too! ”

Ye Qingyun smiled: "I know." ”

Cheng Jiayi: "That's it...... It may always stay in the favor of good friends...... There's no way to turn into love so quickly......"

Ye Qingyun stopped eating, turned to chewing on the meaning of her words, and asked with bewilderment: "There is no way to be so fast, what does it mean...... Does it slowly turn into love? ”

Cheng Jiayi lowered his head, his cheeks were red, and he muttered in a voice, "I don't want to refuse you...... I'll try to treat you like ...... Not just the kind of friend...... Belch...... But...... We know each other so well...... I thought that there was a possibility of a love story, and there was also a possibility of intimacy...... I just feel so awkward......"

Ye Qingyun deliberately teased her: "The development you envisioned seems to be much faster than I expected......

Cheng Jiayi: "I hate it! ”

Ye Qingyun: "So so? ”

Cheng Jiayi: "So what? ”

Ye Qingyun: "So...... You're responding to my confession...... Can I understand that you have agreed to have a relationship with me? ”

Cheng Jiayi nodded silently, and suddenly asked uncertainly: "Wouldn't this be bad?" Do you think I'm being too sloppy? I always feel like I'm very selfish and casual...... Yes...... It's so tangled! It's okay, what are you confessing! ”

Ye Qingyun smiled and comforted: "No, you promise, I can't ask for it!" Even if you pounce on you now to snap, I won't think you're casual! ”

At the end, he added a sentence very sincerely: "Really! ”

Cheng Jiayi was so angry with him that he shouted: "Don't! ”

Ye Qingyun also pretended to be calm: "Huh? ”

Cheng Jiayi: "Don't do anything to me!" …… You can't even think about it! ”

Ye Qingyun smiled: "OK!" I have absolute respect for you! Feel relieved! Unless you want to, I won't do anything to you, and if I really want to do it, I will never tell you! All the progress of the relationship is arranged by you, and when you slowly fall in love with me and have an intention for me, just tell me secretly...... If it's really ...... I really can't find the feeling of loving me, and I'll give you a chance to regret it......"

Cheng Jiayi: "......"

#

After dinner, the two of them washed the dishes by the sink together, and their foamed arms collided from time to time, and every time Cheng Jiayi dodged to the side intentionally or unintentionally, Ye Qingyun naturally leaned over a little more.

At last she was forced into a corner and glared at him with a disgruntled frown, but he said on a whim: "Actually, I think the two of us are quite suitable." ”

Cheng Jiayi: "Huh? ”

Ye Qingyun: "I've known each other since I was a child, and each other's secrets are also clear, I don't have to work hard to investigate the character, my parents have seen it, my parents like you anyway, if I'm not mistaken, your parents don't hate me, and it's marriageable age, otherwise we just get married." ”

Cheng Jiayi: "Huh? ”

Ye Qingyun: "Isn't it good?" ”

Cheng Jiayi jumped to his feet: "Not good! Not at all! Even if you confess at the dinner table, you even propose while washing the dishes! Where's the good? ”

Ye Qingyun smiled: "It turns out that it is not formal enough?" That's okay, I'll book a restaurant another day, get all the candlelight dinner, roses and diamond rings ready, and then formally propose to you, okay? ”

Cheng Jiayi was stupid: "Huh? ”

Ye Qingyun looked at her cute appearance, and couldn't help but bend down and kiss her on the mouth. (To be continued.) )
