Chapter 17: The Sunshine Is Right

The next morning, Meng Shu opened the door, and the scene in front of her made her a little stunned.

Dressed in short-sleeved and beach pants, as well as oversized shoes he had brought with him, Yi Zhan stood in front of the washstand, one hand on his waist, and the other hand waving his toothbrush quickly.

He actually got up earlier than her!

As if sensing the gaze behind him, Yi Zhan turned his head, and his mouth was full of white toothpaste bubbles.

"Early." Meng Shu, who hadn't dressed up yet, was stared at by him like this, and he was really a little weak-hearted, and gently greeted good morning.

Yi Zhan picked up the glass, took a sip of water, grunted a few times, spit out foam, and said loudly, "Good morning, my girl." ”

Meng Shu's pretty face flushed, and she stepped forward and picked up her toothbrush and toothpaste, "Why did you get up so early today?" ”

"I'd like to see you sooner." Yi Zhan winked mischievously.

Seeing Meng Shu's shyness, Yi Zhan showed a satisfied smile.

After brushing his teeth, he said seriously: "I want to see how the oil noodles are made in the later stage, and I just cooked a little white porridge." ”

"It's good to drink white porridge, nourish your stomach."

Mengshu's volume was still very small, like a feather, fluttering. It's not that she doesn't have the strength to wake up in the morning, but she feels that all this is still a little unreal. When I got up in the morning, I brushed my teeth in front of the small washstand with Yi Zhan, and I could still listen to him talk sultry and earthy love words. This is a scene that she has never dared to ask for before.

Different from Yi Zhan Rainstorm pear fancy brushing method, Mengshu brushing his teeth is much gentler, and he can even glance at Yi Zhan who is washing his face with his spare eyes.

He didn't use any toiletries, he just rubbed it with his hands as soon as he put a handful of water on his face. After washing it twice, wet the towel again and wipe it with a towel.

This is the first time she has seen this simple and quick way to wash her face, and she is indeed quite surprised.

When he was studying, Yi Zhan once told her that it only took him five minutes to get up, get dressed, brush his teeth, and wash his face. She didn't believe it at the time, but now she finally understood that if he wanted to, he could get from bed to outside the door in three minutes.

Meng Shu couldn't help but slow down his already slow brushing speed and carefully observed Yi Zhan, his facial features had become three-dimensional, compared to the contours of some baby fat back then, it was indeed a lot stretched.

He is already a mature man.

At first, I felt that time was too partial to him, and it was just an illusion at first sight.

But that's good, they've all changed, and they need to get acquainted again.

"Help me get the cleanser from the cupboard."

After the cabinet next to the washstand was opened, a large number of bottles and cans came into Yi Zhan's eyes, instantly shattering his worldview. He couldn't help but say in a broken voice, "Wow, how can there be so many? ”

Meng Shu smiled, a man who only washes his face with water may not even know about facial cleanser, "Do you know facial cleanser?" ”

"I haven't used it, but I can read Japanese." He took out a white bottle with a lot of Japanese printed on it from the compartment on the third floor, "Is this it?" ”

"Hmm." Meng Shu nodded and said in surprise, "You can actually understand Japanese?" ”

"When I was in high school, I could watch Naruto without Chinese subtitles, and after I went to college, I systematically taught myself grammar. If you have a basic knowledge of Chinese, it will be much easier to learn Japanese. ”

"It seems that interest is the best teacher."

Yi Zhan stared at the lipstick in the storage box, and looked puzzled, "Aren't all lipsticks red?" Why are there so many? ”

Hearing this, Meng Shu couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, in the world of straight men, big red rosΓ©, pink orange red, rose red are all red.

"A lot of them are given by Su Bai, she is pregnant, and she is not suitable for cosmetics."

Yi Zhan thought that Meng Shu still hadn't answered his first question, and continued to ask, "Isn't Su Bai's lipstick also red?" ”

"Then tell me, how many types of red can you have?"

Yi Zhan thought about it seriously and only thought of two kinds.

"Big red, pink."

Meng Shu laughed, "When you can name ten different shades of red one day, I'll tell you about lipstick." ”

A man who had been refreshed fell into deep thought, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't make up the number of red fingers.

After moving to the kitchen, Mengshu took out a large plate covered with plastic wrap from the refrigerator compartment, and inside was the delicious dough.

"Wash two Shanghai greens for me, chop some minced garlic and chopped green onions."

"Okay."

Brush the board with a layer of oil, flatten the dough slightly with a rolling pin, and press it firmly with a chopstick in the middle of the dough sheet, and finally start shaking the dough.

"Because when the dough sheet hits the board, it makes a biang, biang, biang sound. Therefore, the oil-splashed noodles are also called biang biang noodles, and there are a lot of biang character strokes. If you travel to Xi'an, biang biang noodle restaurants are really everywhere. Meng Shu shook his face and introduced with a smile.

Yi Zhan has already prepared the ingredients, "This kind of noodles is quite simple, but the time for making noodles is a bit long." ”

"If you want the noodles to be gluten, you need to knead three times and make two noodles when mixing the noodles, and the final dough should be cooked for more than an hour." Along the small groove in the middle, tear the noodles and throw them into the pot in a dashing manner, "Many delicacies are like this, the method is simple, everything is ready, and the rest is left to time." ”

"How do you get the food ready?" Yi Zhan couldn't help but ask.

"For some classic dishes, the key steps have to be rigorous. In the case of home-cooked food, it is essential to be familiar with the nature of common ingredients. With a little more creativity and imagination, you can always make a different taste. ”

For Xia Mengshu, who often watches documentaries such as "A Tip of the Tongue", this kind of high-sounding words naturally come out of his mouth.

"That's up to Chef Xia to help me a lot."

Meng Shu didn't speak, just smiled.

She was a little worried, with Yi Zhan's intelligence, it was estimated that in only one month, he would be able to learn a little. When he can cook the food well, what else can she do?

After the noodles were served, Mengshu burned the oil, and Yi Zhan, under her guidance, added chopped garlic and chopped green onions to the bowl.

Wow, hot oil splashed on the spices, and the aroma of peppers mixed with the scent of green onions spread together in the kitchen.

"It smells so good."

In Yi Zhan's exclamation, Mengshu added salt, vinegar, light soy sauce, chili flakes, pepper and thirteen spices in turn.

"It's time to serve."

Today's breakfast is still three, oily noodles, white porridge, and refrigerated and more flavorful snowy mooncakes.

Yi Zhan only took more than 20 seconds to suck a large bowl of spicy oily noodles into his stomach, and almost began to lick the bowl.

"Is it enough? If it's not enough...... "Meng Shu picked up a large chopstick noodle in his bowl.

"No need." Yi Zhan waved his hand and said meaningfully, "There are a lot more noodles in my bowl." This noodle is so enjoyable and refreshing. ”

Seeing his evocative expression, Meng Shu was also interested, and learned from his momentum just now, and inhaled a long noodle in one go.

After the meal, Yi Zhan took the initiative to ask to wash the dishes, and Mengshu put two kinds of mooncakes into three boxes. One copy for my mother, one for Yi Zhan's grandparents, and one for Uncle Li and Aunt Li back then. She really hopes that Yi Zhan's grandparents will like these mooncakes.

When Yi Zhan appeared in front of Meng Shu in a crisp suit and white shirt, she fell.

"Girl, do you know how to wear a tie?" Yi Zhan was holding a black tie and looked quite businesslike.

"Huh?" Meng Shu came back to his senses, "Is it okay to tie the knot?" ”

"Everything." Yi Zhan consciously rolled up the collar of his shirt.

Meng Shu slowly stepped forward, trying to remember the flat knot in his mind.

Her movements were a little clumsy, after all, it was the first time she had helped a boy tie. Yi Zhan was not in a hurry, and helped her pull the hair in front of her eyes behind her ears. When his fingers touched his ears, Mengshu's body trembled slightly, and a hint of blush immediately appeared on her cheeks.

"Do you know the price of my shirt?"

As if somewhere it had been heard, the price of a shirt was, the price of a shirt was, "nine pounds and fifteen pence." ”

Meng Shu was a little excited, and with one force, he took the tie knot to the top.

"It's okay."

She was only worried that Yi Zhan would be strangled, but she forgot to let go and pulled harder.

Yi Zhan could only take matters into his own hands and pull the tie that was tightly tightened by his girlfriend.

"I'm sorry." She really didn't expect it to be self-defeating.

"It's okay, it looks like my girl wants to hold me tight." Yi Zhan smiled, such a clumsy girl was exactly what Mengshu looked like in his memory.

Meng Shu blushed, carefully pulled the tie knot down a few centimeters, then turned the collar down, and finally slowly smoothed out the wrinkles on the suit.

It's really handsome!

In order not to let Yi Zhan see his starry eyes, Meng Shu lowered his head and asked softly, "What kind of tie knot do you usually wear?" ”

"It's also a flat knot." There was a rush in his voice.

"I'm still ......"

As soon as Meng Shu raised his head, before he finished speaking, Yi Zhan's kiss fell.

His kiss always came so suddenly, and Mengshu, who was not prepared, could only slowly close his eyes after his pupils dilated, and responded to him shyly.

In this moist and long kiss, a ray of sunlight crept up the windowsill.
