Chapter Eighty-Eight: Happiness Is Interrupted
"That's it, I'm really not at ease to let you go back alone, we haven't had dinner yet, let's buy some food and go back, cook some food, and then I'll send you back after eating, since you were admitted to college, I haven't eaten your cooking, and I really miss it a little."
Lynch saw that Zhang Xin had to go back by himself, and he was not at ease, so he had to fold between the two sides and discuss it with her in a consultative tone. Zhang Xin felt that it was not a solution for the two to continue to stalemate like this, and thought that he had indeed not cooked for Lynch for a long time, so he nodded.
The two went to a nearby vegetable market, Zhang Xin knew that Lynch didn't like to eat eggplant and potatoes, so she bought some tomatoes and cauliflower, a few days ago she happened to learn a stewed beef brisket with tomatoes with Sun Cuihua, now you can try your hand and make it for Lynch to eat, and the two went to the butcher shop to buy a piece of beef and went back together.
Lynch locked the car, carried the things he had just bought and pulled Zhang Xin upstairs, as soon as he opened the door, a long-lost sense of familiarity came to his face, and the house was neatly placed as before, as if it was because Lynch had just returned from a business trip, there was a thin layer of dust on the table, Zhang Xin thought of the first time he came here, and felt that he was really too young and naïve at that time.
"Well, nothing has changed."
Lynch washed a glass from the kitchen, put some tea leaves in it, boiled water, and brought it to Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin took the water and put it on the table, looked around, and saw all kinds of model airplanes next to the TV, she felt a little puzzled, how could a person like Lynch be so polite and polite, how could he like such a rigid thing.
"Okay, almost, I'll go cook, you rest on the couch for a while, and the meal will be ready in no time." Zhang Xin got up and bent his sleeves, walked to the kitchen familiarly, picked up the apron and tied it around his waist, and began to tinker, Lynch looked at Zhang Xin's busy figure outside the living room, and felt a sense of peace of mind that he had never felt before, this feeling was like a newlywed, thinking of this, Lynch scratched his head embarrassedly.
Zhang Xin was busy in the kitchen, and after a while, there was a burst of aroma in the kitchen.
"Hurry up and wash your hands, the food is ready." Zhang Xin brought the meals to the table one by one and beckoned Lynch to come over for dinner.
"I've been getting good at it lately." Lynch looked at the colorful dishes on the table, and gave Zhang Xin a thumbs up, on the days of business trips, he has been eating in the cafeteria, and Lynch has high requirements for food, so he has not eaten well in the past few weeks, and when he saw the table of dishes in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Zhang Xin handed the chopsticks to Lynch, "Don't be in a hurry to praise it first, taste it first, it's not too late to praise it if you think it tastes good." ”
Lynch took the chopsticks and put a piece of beef in his mouth, and the softness of the beef and the sweetness of the tomatoes made Lynch have a great appetite at once.
"How, how." Zhang Xin was nervous on the side, the first time she made this dish, she didn't know how it tasted, looking at Lynch's expression, she didn't know if it was delicious, and hurriedly asked.
"Well, it tastes." Lynch wanted to tease Zhang Xin, and deliberately put on a very unpalatable expression.
"Of course it's good!" Lynch winked at Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin got Lynch's affirmation, exhaled fiercely, raised his hand and slapped Lynch.
"But it scared me to death, I thought it didn't taste good when you put on that expression."
"Hahaha, it's delicious, I don't believe you can eat it yourself." Lynch casually took a piece of beef and put it in Zhang Xin's mouth, Zhang Xin chewed it, the taste was indeed good, the beef was completely soft and rotten, much better than he expected.
"Hurry up and eat, I'll send you home after eating." Lynch pulled out a chair, walked around Zhang Xin's back, put his hands on her shoulders, and sat her down.
Lynch was about to sit down when he heard the sound of unlocking the door and a conversation between the two men.
"Hey, why is the light in the living room on, it should be Lynch back." Zhou Ren opened the door and said to Zhou Hui next to him.
"Well, it must be Brother Qi who is back!" Zhou Hui happily rushed into the room and screamed.
Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, I saw Zhang Xin and Lynch sitting face to face at the dinner table, and then Zhou Ren also changed his shoes and walked in.
"Brother Qi, Zhang Xin, why are you here?" Zhou Hui looked at the two people in front of her, a little incredible, she didn't expect Lynch to go on a business trip for so many days, and as soon as she came back, she actually met with Zhang Xin, she remembered that she heard Lynch's neighbor say that Lynch went out early, it seems that she must have gone to find Zhang Xin, thinking of this, the jealousy in Zhou Hui's heart suddenly exploded.
"Hey, you said, did Lynch cook for us, how did you ......" Zhou Ren walked over as he said, and saw Zhou Hui staring at Zhang Xin angrily, and suddenly didn't know what to do.
"Why are you here! Who let you come! ”
Zhou Hui stared at Zhang Xin and said viciously, Lynch saw Zhou Hui's appearance and stepped forward to protect Zhang Xin behind him.
"Xiaohui, Zhang Xin is my girlfriend, of course she can come to my house as a guest." Lynch felt that if he didn't make his relationship with Zhang Xin public, he was afraid that Zhang Xin would suffer greater grievances and misunderstandings, and since he had made up his mind to protect her, he must protect her thoroughly, and he must not let her suffer a little more harm.
"What did you say?" Zhou Hui had already learned about the relationship between Lynch and Zhang Xin from Zhou Ren's mouth before, but after hearing it from Lynch this time, she still felt like five thunderbolts.
Zhou Hui's tears poured out all of a sudden, pointing at Zhang Xin, and her emotions were out of control.
"Why should she be your girlfriend? Why! It's been so many years, Brother Qi, don't you understand my heart for you? Zhou Hui stepped forward to pull Zhang Xin and try to kick her out of Lynch's house, as if only then could her brother Qi return to her.
"Have you made enough trouble?" Lynch saw that Zhou Hui's hand was about to fall and wanted to pull her away, but he didn't expect Zhou Hui's body bones to be so light, and with a slight pull, Zhou Hui fell to the ground.
"Brother Qi, you dare to do this to me!" Zhou Hui sat on the ground embarrassed, feeling that she had completely lost her mind now, "Brother Qi, don't forget, why is my brother's leg gone, don't forget, you promised my brother to treat me well." In fact, Zhou Hui heard everything Zhou Zhi and Lynch said in the house that day, but she didn't want to tie up Lynch because of Zhou Zhi's matter at first, and now it seems that only by moving out of Zhou Zhi can Lynch return to her side.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Ren listened to the sound and ran to the restaurant, and saw Zhou Hui sitting on the ground with her hair scattered, her eyes red, and Lynch standing opposite her, protecting Zhang Xin with one hand.
"I'm ......" Before Lynch could say anything, Zhou Hui got up and pushed Zhou Ren away and ran out.
"What are you still doing, why don't you hurry up." Zhou Ren pulled Lynch's clothes and urged Lynch to go out and have a look.
"But ......" Lynch looked back at Zhang Xin, who was still in shock, and looked a little hesitant.
"It's okay, Zhou Hui ran out so impulsively, I'm afraid that something will happen to her, you can go and see it quickly, I'll go back by myself in a while." Zhang Xin pretended to be calm and smiled at Lynch, Lynch nodded at her and was pulled out by Zhou Ren.
Zhang Xin saw Lynch go out, her legs were weak, and she sat on the chair, listening to what Zhou Hui said to Lynch just now, guessing that there might be more than just growing up together between them, Lynch must have something to hide from her, she adjusted her mood, looked at the food on the table that had not moved much, sighed, got up and put on her coat, turned off the lights, and left Lynch's house.
Zhang Xin walked back to the dormitory, feeling a little aggrieved, today is her birthday, it was fine during the day, but it suddenly became a mess at night, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, she walked downstairs to the dormitory, thinking that she was so happy to set off this morning, and now she went back with a disgraced face, looking at the men and women who were walking downstairs in the dormitory, her heart twitched, she slowly squatted, and tears fell unconsciously.
