However, in the next few days, Cheng Cheng was very entangled.

When she sent that WeChat, it was purely emotional, and she didn't think too much about it. But Jiang Yichen expressed his expectations so solemnly, and his so-called "reward" must come up with something decent. But what do you want to give him?

She can't afford to buy it if it's too expensive, and she can't show her mind when it's cheap, and she has never given her boyfriend a gift, so she can't remember it!

She was embarrassed to ask Jiang Yichen, but he didn't take the initiative to mention it, as if he had forgotten about it. Cheng Cheng looked at this posture, and even thought that if he really couldn't think of it, he just pretended not to receive his message in the air!

But soon, she slapped her head on the head, spitting herself for being too insincere!

I was worried that the next meeting would come too quickly and there would not be enough time to prepare. However, she soon realized that she was really thinking too much.

Jiang Yichen is very busy, very busy.

At the end of each year and the beginning of the following year, in addition to the evening party, it is also a time for various award ceremonies to gather. Whether it is a TV station or a video website, they have set up a stage to take stock of the outstanding TV series and TV drama actors this year. Those awards actually have no gold content, and the organizers have changed their tricks and made up various award names without changing the medicine, not to mention comparing with major film festivals, even compared with several official TV festivals.

But in any case, the stars in the circle approve of this method and are willing to attend. And although some people don't like it, if the artist is not popular, the organizer will not invite it, and even if it does, it won't get the award. Even the actor and actress who has been famous for many years, if she returns to the TV circle to film, she will also give some face to this kind of occasion.

As a popular student this year, Jiang Yichen naturally received invitations to major award ceremonies. A few months ago, he and Zhou Peipei attended together as just a foil, but now they are the focus of the camera chase wherever they go. What is the "Most Anticipated Newcomer Award", "Person of the Year", "The Audience's Favorite Character", after running down in two months, more than a dozen similar trophies have been won.

However, it seems that Jiang Yichen also understands the meaning of these awards, and he doesn't care much about them, just as an extra qualification card that can be used in the circle.

It's just that the schedule is too tight, and the free time becomes less and less. Cheng Cheng and he used to chat for a short time every day, but now they don't even have this time, and once they even only said good morning and good night for two days in a row.

But she didn't complain. This is something that has been expected for a long time, busyness is his normal, and if you can't accept it, you shouldn't be with him. Cheng Cheng's mentality was very good, and a few times Jiang Yichen talked to her, she was still worried that he was too tired and urged him to go to sleep.

It's just that more than half a month has passed, there is another snow in Beijing, and the school is about to be closed, and she misses him more and more.

Finally one day, Jiang Yichen asked her on WeChat, "Are you free the day after tomorrow?" ”

Cheng Cheng's heart tightened.

Is that what she thinks? Is it, is it???

Jiang Yichen: "I'll go back to Beijing the afternoon after tomorrow, I have a few hours, okay?" ”

Ahh

For two days in a row, Cheng Cheng was excited, walking and singing, and even had insomnia the night before. On the day of the appointment, she got up early and began to put on makeup. There were several sets of newly bought clothes in the closet, but she picked and chosen, but chose the white coat that Jiang Yichen gave her.

Fingers ran over the collar, and remembered the day when she fell in the rain in embarrassment, and he picked her up in front of everyone.

Because of the unpleasant memories of that night, this dress was originally left at the bottom of the box by her, but now looking back, the sadness and sadness at that time no longer mattered, and she was moved by his protection.

The meeting place was at Jiang Yichen's house, and he was about to come back to pick up something, so he asked Cheng Cheng to go over there. Cheng Cheng felt that it was very suitable, after all, with his condition, it was difficult to shake outside.

She took a taxi to the neighborhood and instead of going upstairs, she went to the imported supermarket. Last time, Jiang Yichen accompanied her, and when she finally checked out, she also became a bitter lover who was a scumbag. Cheng Cheng smiled when he thought of the situation at that time, and he was afraid of people's attention, so he hurriedly held back, picked up an eggplant and pretended to look at it.

Yes, she thought about it and felt that the best reward she could give was to cook a meal for Jiang Yichen!

The so-called gift is to show the sincerity of the giver. As a kitchen killer, she feels that this gift is really quite sincere!

For this, Cheng Cheng has been following Aunt Bai for half a month, concentrating on studying. The family was shocked when they heard that she was going to cook, and the first time she did it herself, her grandmother called her cousin from afar. Cheng Cheng asked curiously what was wrong, and grandma said lightly: "If it catches fire, it will be easier for a man to escape." ”

Cheng Cheng looked at the fire extinguisher in his cousin's hand and felt that they were really too much!

However, when she stood alone in the kitchen of Jiang Yichen's house, looking at the ingredients on the cooking table, she couldn't help but start to get nervous.

Jiang Yichen is from Sichuan, and what she wants to cook is also Sichuan cuisine, the first dish is the famous mapo tofu.

Cheng Cheng pressed the tofu with his left hand, held the knife with his right hand, and cut the first knife tremblingly-snap, deflected.

She clutched her head in annoyance, feeling like a scumbag being put on the exam room.

Is it really impossible? Then when she sees Jiang Yichen later, what will she do!

On the first date he had been his girlfriend, she would start to pay the bills, and he would be an eye-opener......

The more Cheng Cheng thought about it, the more she collapsed, her eyes wandered in the kitchen, and she suddenly remembered that the last time she was here, she helped Jiang Yichen cut jade tofu. At the time he said, "You're so nervous. Take it easy. Cooking is entertainment, you should be playing, and if you mess up, you mess up, it doesn't matter at all. ”

Cheng Cheng took a deep breath, picked up the kitchen knife again, and said resolutely: "Remember the teachings of the male god, swear with the dignity of a scholar, and be upright!" ”

She practiced this mapo tofu thirteen times just by practicing, and there were countless broken and burned tofu, and she was nicknamed "Tofu Killer" by Aunt Bai. Maybe it was because the preparation was done well enough to get through the initial tension, and then it became surprisingly smooth.

First, cut the tofu into small cubes and soak them in salted water for later use. Then chop the pork you bought, mince the garlic, ginger, and green onions, and chop the Pixian bean paste.

Cook the oil pan until it is hot for 7 minutes, put the onion, ginger and garlic, minced meat and watercress into it in turn, stir-fry until fragrant, and then add sugar to taste. Immediately after that, drain the tofu into the pot, stir well, add water, bring to a boil over high heat, cover and turn to medium heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

After removing the lid, thicken the starch in the water, and finally sprinkle with peppercorn powder and minced green garlic and stir well.

At this point, a hot, fragrant mapo tofu is complete!

Cheng Cheng held the plate, she burst into tears, whether it was the fragrance or the color, this was the pinnacle of the mapo tofu she had ever made!

She is equivalent to a scumbag who performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination and got the highest score in history, right?!

was excited, Jiang Yichen's phone also called, "You've arrived?" ”

Cheng Cheng was full of energy, "I've already arrived!" ”

Jiang Yichen let out an "oh", and his tone was long.

Cheng Cheng was shocked that he said this, as if he couldn't wait to see him. Although this is true, she doesn't want to be seen by him!

She said, "I'm worried that your house is too messy, so I came over in advance and wanted to clean it up." ”

Jiang Yichen chuckled, and said seriously: "Good intentions." But I've already let people clean up in advance, and I don't dare to bother Miss Jane. ”

Cheng Cheng thought of what she saw when she came in, the house was indeed neat and clean, and thinking that he had specially arranged this, she pursed her lips and smiled, "So, you are also looking forward to it......"

Jiang Yichen also laughed, but this time he didn't say anything.

Cheng Cheng: "Are you about to go?" She knew that he was doing activities in Qingdao today and was going to catch a plane back.

Jiang Yichen: "Hmm. My flight to Beijing at four o'clock came an hour from the airport, plus all kinds of delays, calculated that it would be about half past five. ”

Cheng Cheng: "Okay, I see." ”

I wanted to keep it a secret, but looking at the tempting aroma of mapo tofu, she still couldn't hold back and whispered, "When you arrive, I have a surprise for you." ”

Jiang Yichen paused, and his voice softened, "Okay." ”

Cheng Cheng hung up the phone, excited for a while, and then forced himself to calm down.

Mapo tofu gave her confidence, and Cheng Cheng made a fried shredded pork with magnolia slices and burned a winter melon pork rib soup. When all the dishes were served, she looked at her results and was as excited as she was to write a big paper.

Looking at the time, it's half past four in the afternoon.

In other words, in another hour, Jiang Yichen will be home.

Family.

Cheng Cheng suddenly reacted, this is his house, she cooked food in his house, sat at the dining table and waited for him.

It feels like a little wife, washing her hands and making soup, waiting for her husband to come home from work......

Ahhh

She buried her head in the crook of her arm, but she still couldn't stop the heat of her cheeks, the corners of her mouth were raised, and her eyes were full of ripples.

The phone rang again, she showed one eye, and when she saw Jiang Yichen's name, her face became a little hotter. She picked it up and said softly, "Hey, you're here?" ”

Jiang Yichen's voice was a little strange, "Cheng Cheng, I had an accident here, and I may not be able to arrive until later." When you're hungry, eat something first. ”

Cheng Cheng was stunned, "Where are you?" ”

"I'm rushing to the airport, I should have to change my ticket."

Actually...... Still in Qingdao.

Cheng Cheng paused for a second and smiled, "Okay, don't worry, I'll play by myself first." ”

Jiang Yichen seemed to be really busy, so he hung up the phone after another admonition.

Cheng Cheng held the phone, sat for a while, rubbed his face and said, "It's okay, it's a little later, I'm not hungry anyway." ”

She was afraid that the food would be cold, so she found a plate to cover it, and thought that there should be something to wait, so she simply took out her kindle and looked at the paper.

Minutes and seconds passed. As night fell, the lights of the city were lit one after another, and she read more than a dozen pages of information.

My stomach was purring, and I raised my wrist to look at my watch, and it was already 9 o'clock.

The dish was already cold, and Cheng Cheng rested his chin on the table, looking at mapo tofu. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I always feel that they are not as bright and beautiful as when they are hot.

She muttered in a low voice, "It's a pity, it's rare to do it so well." ”

Haven't been to Beijing yet? She wanted to call Jiang Yichen, but she was afraid that he would be in a hurry on the road, so she called Zhao Xiaoling. Zhao Xiaoling didn't have a trip with Jiang Yichen recently, and only after learning about it over there did she say: "Jiang Yichen and they arrived in Beijing an hour ago, but they were blocked by fans at the airport as soon as they got off the plane, and then they were followed by the paparazzi, and now they can't be contacted." I guess they're trying to figure out how to get rid of it......"

Tracked! Cheng Cheng was a little surprised and a little worried.

Jiang Yichen said that he was going to catch the plane at 11 o'clock in the evening, and now it is 9 o'clock, if he still runs all the way back, he will definitely not be able to catch the plane again if he tosses on the road.

Moreover, he can't let the paparazzi find out about her existence......

Zhao Xiaoling said: "I think you may not see you today. ”

Cheng Cheng didn't speak.

Zhao Xiaoling: "It's hard to be a star sister-in-law, it's hard to be a star sister-in-law, I extend my deep sympathy......"

Cheng Cheng: "Shut up, forbid you to laugh at me." ”

Cheng Cheng said this, but she knew that Zhao Xiaoling was just afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so she deliberately joked. She got up silently, packed her things and prepared to leave, and walked to the door, only to remember that the food was still on the table.

If he looked back and saw it, he would definitely feel guilty and blame himself for not rushing back.

Let's throw it out.

Just thinking this, I heard a "click", and the door was suddenly opened.

Cheng Cheng looked over in surprise, the lights were shining outside the corridor, and Jiang Yichen was wearing a black coat and standing at the door. He looked dusty, and there was a chill on his clothes.

Cheng Cheng looked at him and was dumbfounded, "You, why are you here?" ”

Jiang Yichen looked at her for a moment, strode over, and took her into his arms, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Cheng Cheng's cheeks were pressed against the cool coat material, feeling the strength of his arm, and it took a while to react, he came back. She saw him.

She looked up and stared at his face. He came from the cold wind, his eyes were dark, and the lines of his face were so familiar. She originally thought that she was not sad, but looking at this face and thinking of the whole day of waiting, the little grievances that were forcibly ignored came up like a tide.

She whispered, "I thought I really wouldn't see ......."

Jiang Yichen's eyes changed slightly, and he raised his hand to touch her face, "Silly, I said I would come back." When did I lie to you? ”

She wanted to say, you lied to me a lot, and you even lied to a big one before. But there are so many things surging in my heart that I can't say a word.

There was a gentle apology in his gaze, and he wrapped her around a little......

"Ahem......" A voice suddenly came from the door, which was exceptionally clear in the silent night!

Cheng Cheng was startled and pushed Jiang Yichen away!

looked over, only to find that Lin Hao was actually standing there. Cheng Cheng has not seen Lin Hao since he was with Jiang Yichen, and at this time, the man has his hands in his pockets, sometimes looking at the sky, sometimes looking left and right, pretending, and almost writing "I didn't see it, I didn't see anything" on his face......

Cheng Cheng's face turned red, Jiang Yichen looked down at her, she was so embarrassed that she whispered, "Why don't you tell me, there are other people ......"

Before Jiang Yichen could speak, Lin Hao walked over first, and said with a smile: "Miss Jane, don't blame Brother Chen, I insisted on following up, I didn't expect to disturb you...... Beautiful day. And today, it's not what Brother Chen thought about being late for a date, we were all leaving, but who knew that the organizer had a temporary situation and dragged us down. When I arrived in Beijing, I chased and intercepted him, and Brother Chen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot on the way......"

"Why do you talk so much nonsense." Jiang Yichen said coldly.

Lin Hao teased enough, felt that tonight was really turning over the serf and singing, put the luggage on the ground, and bowed respectfully, "You are busy, you are busy, the little one will retreat first." ”

He left, and intimately closed the door for them, and the sound of the collision made Cheng Cheng's heart tremble again.
