Chapter 93: Pride
In the living room, Wang Yu sat upright on a small stool, and a pair of deep eyes were changing directions back and forth with Lin Xue, who was constantly going in and out between the kitchen and the living room. Inadvertently, he suddenly found that Xu Jiaman on the opposite side was looking straight at him, Wang Yu couldn't help but blush, and then smiled awkwardly.
"You must already know each other, she visited me at the clinic last time I was sick." In a slightly embarrassing atmosphere, Wang Yu said with a wry smile.
"It's a little impressive, but it's not too familiar." Xu Jiaman glanced at Lin Xue, who walked into the kitchen again, and said lightly.
"Oh, that's right. Then let me tell you, her name is Lin Xue, she is in the same class as me, and she is the precious daughter of our class teacher. Although Wang Yu noticed that Xu Jiaman's expression and tone were very cold at the moment, he didn't think deeply, paused, and then said: "She is like this, she never treats herself as an outsider when she comes to my house, hehe, I can't do anything about this." ”
"And she's your girlfriend?" Xu Jiaman bit her lip secretly and asked tentatively.
Hearing this, the smile on Wang Yu's face froze sharply, and then he took a deep breath and shook his head gently, "Of course she is not my girlfriend anymore, she already has a boyfriend, and the two of us are just pure friendship." Although he said this, the trace of bitterness that faintly appeared between his eyebrows was really seen by Xu Jiaman.
At that moment, her heart suddenly felt an inexplicable tingling pain.
Friendship, how can it be so simple. Otherwise, why do you always keep your eyes on her from the moment you step through the door.
"Oh, then your relationship is really good." Xu Jiaman smiled, and did not immediately reveal the secret in Wang Yu's heart.
"Yes, I can't deny that, since the first semester of high school, as long as she has time, she will come to my house to play, I told her several times, but she never listened. And my parents have already been 'subdued' by her, and now I can't do anything about it. Wang Yu said and pointed to the melon seeds on the coffee table next to Xu Jiaman, and said, "Don't just chat, you can eat something." ”
Xu Jiaman nodded, and just wanted to reach out to grab the food on the coffee table, when he suddenly heard Wang Yu blurt out the words behind him, and immediately took his hand back.
"I've never eaten melon seeds with such beautiful packaging, and my mother must have bought them for her. Because she only recognizes this kind of brand, and doesn't eat anything else. ”
In your heart, is she really that important? My heart is right in front of you, don't you feel it at all? Whether it is no or deliberate avoidance, if you tell me explicitly, I will immediately and silently walk away.
"I forgot, I'm allergic to melon seeds and can't eat them."
Xu Jiaman said coldly, turned his face to look at a few beautifully packaged snacks on the coffee table, and suddenly felt an indescribable desolation and despair in his heart. It's just that she has an extremely stubborn personality and doesn't show everything in her heart at the moment on her face, her expression is as indifferent as ever.
"Then you'll eat something else." When Wang Yu heard this, although he wondered how someone could be allergic to melon seeds, he immediately walked closer, took the melon seeds in his hand, pointed to other snacks, and said, "Eat a little, this is her kindness, I have never enjoyed this kind of treatment." ”
Xu Jiaman bit his lip secretly again, forced the sourness in his heart, raised his head and smiled at Wang Yu: "Then you can enjoy it today." After speaking, he stood up, picked up the teacup next to him, and then pointed to the vacant seat, and said, "You sit down, eat slowly, I'll go to the side and drink a little water quietly, don't talk to me again." After speaking, ignoring Wang Yu, who was stunned, he walked straight to the opposite stool and sat down.
"Are you alright? What's wrong? Wang Yu's heart was full of question marks, and he turned his head to Xu Jiaman with a smiling face and asked tentatively.
"I can't eat snacks when I have a cold, you sit down and eat, you'd better eat them all, or your good friend might be angry." Xu Jiaman said, and suddenly saw that Wang Yu wanted to speak again, so he hurriedly pushed his palm forward, and said with a faint smile: "I just had a cold, don't talk to me, let me be quiet for a while." ”
Hearing this, Wang Yu suddenly remembered that she was indeed taking medicine when she came, and hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, and then smiled wryly, and sat down on the chair that Xu Jiaman had sat on before.
In embarrassment, Wang Yu didn't know where to look his eyes for a while, and after a while, he had to turn his face to look at the snacks on the coffee table on the side, but he didn't really pick them up and eat them, because he knew some sports common sense and understood that he was currently in the training stage, and this kind of junk food could never be touched.
Time passed slowly, and the living room was quiet. Xu Jiaman lowered his head and played with the water cup in his hand, while Yu on Wang's side had no choice but to look at a few snacks on the coffee table on the side.
On the other hand, the kitchen was bustling with activity, and laughter could be heard from outside the door from time to time. Xu Jiaman inadvertently raised his head, but found that Wang Yu on the other side seemed to be trying to listen to the sound coming from the kitchen.
"You don't have to accompany me, go to the kitchen and have a look." Xu Jiaman said with a smile that was wrong.
"What's there to see there, besides, I can't help if I go, so I'll stay here with you, anyway, it's the first time you've come to my house as a guest." Wang Yu heard the mockery in Xu Jiaman's words, and his face couldn't help but be hot.
"Really?" Xu Jiaman said vaguely, a pair of smart eyes looked straight at Wang Yu, and then without waiting for him to answer himself, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then you can sit here, and I will go to the kitchen to have a look." ”
"I'll go too." When Wang Yu heard this, he was a little overjoyed, and immediately stood up.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you didn't want to go? Xu Jiaman looked at Wang Yu with a smile.
"I said I didn't want to go, but today you are a guest, I will accompany you, and I will follow you wherever you go." Wang Yu said with a little weakness, which sounded like a high-sounding reason.
"Oh, that's right." Xu Jiaman replied lightly, then stopped paying attention to Wang Yu, and immediately walked out.
Wang Yu was slightly stunned, although he didn't understand why Xu Jiaman seemed to be a different person as soon as he entered the house, but for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk into the kitchen, Wang Yu was unwilling to miss it, and immediately walked out after him.
"Squeak..."
In the strange sound, the antique old-fashioned ceiling fan sang a little painfully overhead, and under the fan, five people were sitting around the dining table. Looking at the dizzying variety of delicacies in front of him, Wang Yu's heart was really full of words. Because in terms of quantity and variety, they are several times more than every time they go home.
In fact, it is no wonder that in order to entertain Lin Xue and comfort her baby son, Wang Yu's mother has prepared a lot of food since yesterday, plus not long ago, Wang Yu's father went out to buy a few more dishes for Xu Jiaman, who came to the house for the first time, and the food on the table in front of him at this moment is indeed scary enough.
However, Wang Yu, who was sitting in it at the moment, was surprised by these delicacies in front of him, but he had no intention of tasting them, because compared to his father, who had never said a word to him, was what made him uneasy.
In the dark, Wang Yu felt a trace of ominousness in his heart, and as time passed, this ominous feeling became stronger and stronger. Just when Wang Yu felt that he was about to lose his breath and wanted to use an excuse to go out to take a breath, suddenly his mother on the side slapped him on the shoulder.
"What?" Wang Yu was startled, turned his face to his mother and asked.
"Why are you sitting stupidly, hurry up and serve Xiaoxue and Manman vegetables." The mother complained about her somewhat stupid son, but in her heart she was extremely proud of her son's skills, otherwise how could there be two such beautiful and dignified girls in her own house together.
Thinking that one of them might be her daughter-in-law in the future, Wang Yu's mother's face was instantly filled with a sincere smile, and she turned her face and whispered: "Girl, don't be stunned by the two of you, try Auntie's craftsmanship." As he spoke, he glared at his son who was only concerned about eating vegetables by himself, and immediately sandwiched two pieces of chicken into Lin Xue and Xu Jiaman's bowls.
"Thank you, Auntie." The two girls smiled sweetly and thanked each other.
"No thanks, eat more."
This is a very ordinary answer, but to Wang Yu's mother, it is extremely sensible and decent, which makes her more sure that the two girls in front of her must be the best candidates for her future daughter-in-law. Thinking wildly in his mind, he suddenly glanced at his husband who was also drinking and eating food with his head stuffy at the moment, and secretly kicked him under the table with his foot, and said angrily: "Don't just care about eating yourself, hurry up and greet these two children." ”
"Hehe, don't blame your uncle, I'm stupid and can't say something to greet people." Wang Yu's father glared at his wife, who was thinking about good things, and continued: "When you let go of eating, you will treat this place as if it were your home. ”
"Uncle Wang, you and Auntie don't have to greet me, it's not the first time I've come, hehe." Lin Xue said, immediately picked up a piece of braised yellow eel and put it in Wang Yu's bowl, and quipped: "Eat more, don't be polite to me when you get home." ”
"Are you mistaken, this is my house." Wang Yu said in his mouth, but he immediately picked up the yellow eel in the bowl and put it in his mouth without hesitation.
"How's it going, isn't it?" Lin Xue didn't take Wang Yu's words seriously at all, and gently slapped Wang Yu's head with the chopsticks in her hand, and said proudly: "Tell you, this dish was completed independently with the assistance of my aunt, how is it, amazing?" ”
Wang Yu just wanted to say that it was delicious, but when he looked up and saw Lin Xue's confident and proud appearance, he couldn't help but laugh a few times in his heart, and immediately changed his words: "Thanks to your reminder, I'm still wondering, how can this yellow eel made by my mother taste so weird today, hehe, it turned out that you made it, now I understand." ”
"Auntie, look at Xiao Yu." When Lin Xue heard this, she was annoyed, but she was not good at teaching Wang Yu a lesson, so she immediately turned her face to look at Wang Yu's mother on the side, "Don't listen to his nonsense, if it's really not delicious, then he can still eat so delicious." Wang Yu's mother patted Lin Xue's shoulder dotingly as she spoke, then turned her face and knocked on Wang Yu's head fiercely, and said angrily: "If you dare to bully Xiaoxue again, be careful that I tell your homeroom teacher, so that you can't eat and walk around when you go back." ”
"Don't fight, or your son will become a fool."
Wang Yu said in his mouth, and a smile flashed to the side. Seeing that Lin Xue was still puffing up, although she felt funny and cute in her heart, she couldn't bear it, and finally had to laugh twice and change her words: "Okay, Miss, don't be angry, I was joking with you just now, although this dish is not as delicious as my mother's cooking, it can be regarded as a delicious dish, so it should be okay, right?" ”
"That's pretty much it, huh." Lin Xue glanced at Wang Yu, then laughed again, turned her face to Xu Jiaman on the side and said, "You also come to taste this dish, I made it myself." ”
"Thank you, but I'm sorry, I can't eat it because I'm allergic to yellow eel." Xu Jiaman said lightly, her eyes Lin Xue seemed to be about to pick up a piece of yellow eel and hand it to herself, and hurriedly reached out to cover the rice bowl in front of her.
"Oh, that's right." Lin Xue nodded as if she didn't understand, but she didn't see what a strange expression Wang Yu had on her face when she heard this. Xiaoxue thought about it, and then put the piece of yellow eel she picked up into Wang Yu's bowl again, and said fiercely: "Here, this time it will be cheaper for you again." ”
Hearing this, Wang Yu, whose face had returned to normal, smiled, and then ate the braised delicious yellow eel in one bite.
In the laughter, the careless Lin Xue didn't know that her every move at this moment fell into the eyes of the girl named Xu Jiaman on the side, but Xu Jiaman didn't know that when she was watching Lin Xue and Wang Yu closely, Wang Yu's mother was carefully looking at her.
At this moment, Wang Yu's father, who had not spoken much, suddenly cleared his throat and looked straight at his son.
This glance made the smile on Wang Yu's face disappear immediately. Immediately, he hurriedly sat up straight, anxiously waiting for his father's imminent reprimand or scolding, and at the same time thinking in his heart how to talk to his father about the matter.
