The moment she saw Liao Lei, Zhou Miao frowned and wanted to turn around and leave, but she was immediately grabbed by Bai Lu, who found her, and the tempting aroma wafting from the kitchen, Zhou Miao hesitated, and finally followed Bai Lu into the house and sat down.

――Of course, it's far away from Liao Lei's position.

Rao is like this, Liao Lei still can't help but be happy.

When Zhang Long came out with the dishes, Bai Lu, who didn't notice why Zhou Miao was unhappy, was smiling happily as always, chatting with Ji Haiyun about light-hearted and interesting topics, while Liao Lei had already lost her coolness, and had been peeking at the cold Zhou Miao, and occasionally made a somewhat off-the-beaten-path answer in Bai Lu's inquiry.

Although the atmosphere is a little weird, it is still quite lively, so as not to feel embarrassed.

Secretly relieved, Zhang Longqian pretended not to notice Zhou Miao's somewhat piercing gaze, and quickly brought all the dishes to everyone to eat.

"Wow...... I feel like I haven't eaten Longqian's food for a long time! It's still delicious! ”

In Bai Lu's praise, Zhou Miao's face finally eased a lot, and Liao Lei, who had tasted Zhang Longqian's craftsmanship for the first time, couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Zhang Longqian with some suspicion.

Knowing how much contrast there was between the dishes he made and his own image, Zhang Longqian smiled and didn't say anything. And after a moment of surprise, Liao Lei naturally didn't dwell on this problem anymore, he just updated his impression of Zhang Longqian while continuing to peek at Zhou Miao, slowly moving his chopsticks.

Seeing that Zhou Miao's reaction was really as he expected, Zhang Longqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that Ji Haiyun, who had tasted a bite of the dish, did not move his chopsticks again, and turned his head suspiciously to find that he was staring at the fragrant dishes on the table upright, his expression was very complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was sadness or joy.

Zhang Longqian, who had never seen Ji Haiyun like this, immediately panicked, and hurriedly whispered to ask him what was wrong, and at the same time couldn't help but wonder if the food he made was too unpalatable? But the reaction of the other three people is not like that!

In Zhang Longqian's panicked gaze, Ji Haiyun slowly came back to his senses, he smiled at the three people who noticed that something was wrong and looked at it to say that it was okay, and only after they turned their attention away did he smile lightly at Zhang Longqian, who was still looking at him.

"I was just a little surprised, I always felt ...... Some of the flavors like my dad made......"

Looking at the smile that seemed a little sentimental, Zhang Longqian didn't know what to say for a while.

She once heard Zhou Miao mention that Ji Haiyun's father, the original young head of the Ji family, Ji Mingxi, had passed away eight years ago.

Zhang Longqian, who had never seen her mother since she was a child, didn't know what kind of mood Ji Haiyun was in at that time, but she also understood that it must be extremely painful, she couldn't help but quiet down with a heavy heart, looking down at the rice bowl and not knowing what to do.

Seeing the look of guilt on her face, Ji Haiyun leaned over a little in an arc that would not be noticed by a few people who were laughing happily, and whispered to Zhang Longqian: "Miss, you don't have to blame yourself, thank you for letting me taste the taste of memory." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Longqian looked up in amazement, but saw Ji Haiyun with a gentle smile on his face, and then he looked like he was eating as usual, and he responded to Bai Lu's topic, and led Liao Lei, who didn't know how to speak, to chat.

Receiving Ji Haiyun's signal, Zhang Longqian also laughed and joined the topic, cleverly making the atmosphere between Zhou Miao and Liao Lei not so bad.

However, Ji Haiyun's gentle look lingered in her mind, causing her chest to throb slightly.

Zhang Longqian didn't understand why, and she didn't dare to think about it deeply, because she had a faint feeling that she shouldn't think about this matter, even everything about Ji Haiyun.

――If you think about it, it seems that there is something you can't go back to.

There is no reason, but it is so certain.

Hiding this thought in his heart, Zhang Longqian's face naturally did not show a single star, so the meal ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

For the sake of Zhang Longqian's good cooking skills, Zhou Miao didn't get angry until she finished eating, but she didn't look at Liao Lei directly, and only frowned slightly when she finally knew that he was going to participate in the autumn festival with Zhang Longqian, but after all, she still didn't say anything.

Well, it's better than a look of obvious disgust.

Zhang Longqian and Liao Lei both secretly thought like this.

After Nangong Piao appeared again to pick up Bai Lu and Zhou Miao also left with him, Zhang Longqian chatted with Liao Lei again.

After all, it has been decided that the next few days before the start of the autumn festival will continue to run in, so it is naturally convenient to make an appointment with the time after that, so I simply compared each other's schedules, and after setting the specific time, Liao Lei also said goodbye and left.

Instead, it has restored the very deep gloomy appearance of the city.

In the next few days, Zhang Longqian took classes more seriously, but Rao still didn't know much about divination, so after considering the priorities of the matter, she simply put this aside for the time being, and put more attention on strengthening the run-in with Liao Lei and adjusting and improving the battle plan, in order to fully prepare for the autumn festival.

After tasting the sweetness of that day, Liao Lei deliberately wanted Zhang Longqian to cook again, so he even did not hesitate to pay for various ingredients himself.

Although Liao Lei didn't say it explicitly, Zhang Longqian still knew his true purpose, she had the intention to push the two of them, and the economy was really tight recently, so she agreed after a little consideration.

I don't know what is going on between Zhou Miao and Liao Lei, when Zhang Longqian called her again, she almost hung up the phone directly, but in the end she still couldn't resist the temptation of food, especially the temptation of "free food", so as long as she is free these days, Zhou Miao will come over, but Bai Lu, who is in love, does not often appear in order to find time to date Nangong Piao.

Liao Lei's character is destined that he will never know what "dedication" is, especially when he sees Zhou Miao, he doesn't know how to react, the whole person is like a wooden pestle there, so the four of them can only rely on Zhang Longqian and Ji Haiyun to enliven the atmosphere when they sit down. But no matter how the two played a round, Zhou Miao didn't look at Liao Lei from beginning to end, and the only thing he said to him was just "get in the way, get out of the way", and the indifference was even worse than before, but Liao Lei still couldn't hide her joy the moment she heard her voice, and Zhang Longqian and Ji Haiyun couldn't help but sympathize, and in private, the two couldn't help but guess, how did Liao Lei offend Zhou Miao to be treated like this?

Although she wanted to go to Zhou Miao to confirm her guess, Zhang Longqian couldn't muster the courage after all, looking at Liao Lei, who was very content with the status quo, she simply dragged Ji Haiyun to give up exploring this puzzle, and focused on strengthening her cooperation with Liao Lei.

Then, finally, it was time for the opening of the autumn festival.
