Chapter Twenty-Three: Hot Pot Tonight
I sat in a chair in the hallway and glanced boredly at the mural on the wall. The mural looked precious, and the yellowish color made it look old. The content of the mural is abstract, with red and black inside, and it looks like a bewitching flower from a distance. But up close, it's nothing, like a child's graffiti.
Suddenly, I felt like someone was poking me in the shoulder. I looked back and almost fainted.
A monstrous white bone was standing in front of me. In the dim light, I saw that the white bone's teeth were slightly open, as if to speak. I panicked and begged for help, and when I turned my head, I saw that Uncle Liu was no longer in the corridor. Han Wanting didn't know where she went.
Still, I found it boring.
"Han Wanting, come out for me."
Hearing only a loud laugh, Han Wanting's head poked out from behind the skeleton.
Childish or not? How old are you to make such jokes? If it weren't for the fact that he helped the master find a doctor, I would have beaten him up a long time ago.
He sent the skeleton back into the corner, and the moment he turned, I seemed to see a red figure following him. I rubbed my eyes, and the figure was gone again.
I couldn't help but think to myself, that red figure couldn't be the ghost of the skeleton, right?
But why hasn't the wind chime in my hand been ringing? Doesn't that mean that one just now?
"Are you scared by me? Still standing here stupidly? Han Wanting turned around and looked at me with a puzzled expression.
I ignored him and just walked straight up to him.
"What's wrong with you?" He looked at me curiously, his face full of doubts.
"Don't move, you look like you have a spider on your face!"
He looked terrified, pointed his finger at his face and shouted, "Help me get rid of it!" β
I laughed in my heart, and now I've been deceived! But I pretended to be calm, approached his face, and pretended to catch a spider. Just when I thought I was about to succeed, he suddenly grabbed my wrist and chuckled, "Looking at you like this, I think you really ......"
There was a deep sea attraction in his eyes, and I almost got swept into a whirlpool.
But then I heard the door open. We were so "intimate" when Dr. He came out of the room. For a moment, my face was red with embarrassment.
"Am I supposed to avoid it?" Dr. He laughed dryly.
"Don't get me wrong, it's not what you think. By the way, how is my uncle? "I dispelled the misunderstanding and diverted the subject.
"He doesn't have any major problems for the time being, he just needs to recuperate. He has been injured for a hundred days, and he is a little older, so he has to be taken care of. "Dr. He said that the master is no longer in trouble, which makes me breathe a sigh of relief.
I broke free of Han Wanting's hand and ran into the room in a hurry. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the master had a cast on his leg, his eyes still closed, and his face gradually rosy.
Han Wanting came in at some point, stood behind me, and said softly, "Let's go out first, let him have a good rest." β
I had no choice but to leave quietly.
"It's not too early, so let's go back first. The patient's leg still needs to be treated, so let him be here for a few days. It is also convenient for my later observation. "Dr. He didn't allow me to refuse, so he kicked us all out of the gate. I thought to myself, this is too much trouble for him. On weekdays, the master was alone, and he never mentioned his family to me, and there must have been no one to take care of him. I have to go to school again, and I really don't have much time.
Forget it, then the master will stay here for a few days. I'm going to school tomorrow, so I'll wait until the weekend to see him.
While sitting in the car, Han Wanting suddenly said, "I'm so hungry." β
Uncle Liu immediately answered and coaxed him: "Young master, hold on a little longer, and after I send this young lady home, I will take you to the Royal Hotel." β
Han Wanting ignored him, just tilted his head towards me, and looked sly: "Do you know how to cook?" I've helped you so much today, do you want to treat me to a meal? β
"I'll do it a little. If you don't dislike it, I can cook for you. If you don't like it, I'll invite you to go to the restaurant. β
"It was a bit disgusting. Now think about it, see that you will have a little bit, I will go to your house for dinner. β
"Young Masterβ" Uncle Liu was about to dissuade him, but was interrupted by him.
"It was so happily decided. Uncle Liu, you can just send us to the door of her community, you can find a place to eat first, and I will go to her house for dinner tonight. β
It's pretty straightforward, too.
"Would you like to go to the supermarket and buy some groceries?" He approached me and smiled brightly.
I squeezed awkwardly to the side and replied, "I still have some food in the fridge." No need to buy it. β
When we arrived at the gate of the community, Han Wanting followed me all the time. Seriously, if someone I know sees it, it will be so embarrassing, then I will really jump into the Yellow River and can't wash it away! To hide the embarrassment, I walked as fast as I could.
When I got home, I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I didn't see any acquaintances on the road, otherwise it would have been terrible.
"Go and pour me a glass of water, I'm a little thirsty." Han Wanting sat on the sofa with her butt crossed, crossing Erlang's legs.
I hurriedly went to the kitchen and poured him a glass of water.
"You go cook."
It's too much to treat yourself as a guest!
There were two tomatoes and some eggs in the fridge. There is still a beef roll that I bought at the supermarket yesterday morning on the frozen floor, and I have an idea, why don't you make a hot pot! Now that the weather is cold, it's just the right time to eat a hot pot!
After I finished cooking, I started washing the vegetables, and I used the pot to boil water on the side. When the water boiled, I put the hot pot base in it. The kind of milk fondue is popular now, and I pour the milk into the fondue as part of the base.
I was just about to turn around and greet Han Wanting, when I bumped into him all of a sudden. I'll go, I don't even know when this guy came.
"Is it making hot pot? Looks pretty good. "Is this complimenting me?
"It's just a little slow. Hurry up, I'm really hungry. He urged, then sat down at the table next to the dining table and motioned for me to bring the hot pot over quickly.
"Wait a minute, I'll mix up some sauce, and I'll be right away. By the way, would you like some garlic paste? I asked, patting the garlic with a kitchen knife and chopping it up.
"Sounds good, so get me a copy too."
I was carefully chopping the garlic, and suddenly I heard Han Wanting whisper softly in my ear: "You are so slow, let me help you." β
Before he finished "No......, Han Wanting began to carefully pick up the hot pot and walked to the dining table in small steps.
The mist above the hot pot, and Han Wanting, who was sitting opposite, was eating the hot pot elegantly, all of which made me feel very unreal.
"Would you like some water? This hot pot is a bit spicy. I got up and asked him with my glass.
"Hmm." He looked up at me, but for some reason, I always thought his eyes were weird, and there seemed to be something shiny in his eyes.
Is it because it's too spicy? Or, touched by my hot pot?
"What a daze, I'm about to die of spiciness." He complained, and his posture was not as graceful as when he had just eaten.
"I'll go right away."
As I poured the water, I suddenly noticed that the wind chimes on my wrists were vibrating, and they were shaking and trembling very much. I was shocked, could it be that there is a ghost in the house?
I put down my glass and went straight to the living room, and when I saw it, there were no ghosts. The only thing that was wrong was that Han Wanting, who was originally sitting at the dinner table, was gone.
"Where have the people gone? Han Wanting, where are you? β
"Stop shouting, I just went out and took a call." Han Wanting walked in from the balcony, still holding her mobile phone in her hand.
Scared the hell out of me. If some ghost really took him captive, that's bad.
"You look worried about me." He sat down at the dining table with a meaningful smile. At this time, that good-looking face is really underbeaten.
Hehe, why do I want a ghost to take him away now?
Before you know it, the hot pot has bottomed out. He wiped his mouth with a tissue to his heart's content.
"Your cooking skills are not bad, and you have the opportunity to come to your house again to eat."
Dare to use my house as a restaurant? I ignored him and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks by myself.
"By the way, why aren't your parents coming home yet?" He asked curiously.
"My mom was on a business trip. My dad works in the field. β
"Aren't you afraid of being alone at home?"
"Get used to it. By the way, if you go back so late, will your parents be worried? β
He was silent for a while, and then he spoke: "My parents are abroad." β
I was silent, but I felt some sympathy for him. In order to alleviate this awkward atmosphere, I smiled and said, "Well, if you want to eat at my house in the future, tell me in advance." It's still quite a rush today. β
He smiled at me, pursing his lips slightly. His smile was like a spring breeze. He was already good-looking, with a red face and white teeth, and eyes as bright as stars. Oh my God, am I doing nymphomaniac?
"It's getting late, it's time for me to go home. You should be careful at home as a girl. "As soon as he stood up, he was much taller than me.
I nodded in agreement and watched him walk out the door. The wind chimes on my bracelet started vibrating again, and it made me uneasy.
The corners of Han Wanting's mouth rose slightly, and she glanced back at me meaningfully. To be precise, I felt as if he was looking at my hands.
The wind chimes didn't ring either. Does he know my wind chimes?
However, he didn't say anything, just went straight downstairs. In order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, I followed him and sent him downstairs. As soon as I got downstairs, I saw the black car.
I was relieved to see him go in. The wind chimes were vibrating just now, and they should have sensed a ghost. But why didn't I see anything? I suddenly remembered that the last time I jumped off the balcony, the wind chimes vibrated when the night appeared. This shows that this wind chime can sense the owner. So, Xiao Ye has just been here?
At some point, there was another strange wind outside. I put my hands in my pockets and hurried upstairs to go home.
When I returned to the house, I felt cold again.
Just having dinner with Han Wanting was like a dream. It's the first time I've eaten alone with a boy when I'm so old. It feels subtle.
