At seven o'clock on Thursday night, Yuan Ben, who had nothing to do, finally decided to cook.

He is a typical Aries, a very hidden housework maniac, whenever he encounters any difficulties in life, he relies on tidying up the room, washing clothes, going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and cooking eight dishes and one soup to spice up. After Yuan Ben moved back, he did a deep cleaning of the house, even wiped the scale behind the toilet tank in the toilet, and washed everything that could be washed, and even ironed the ruffles of the curtains and sheets with an iron. He also wanted to go to the vegetable market to buy a lot of money, but he had recently fallen into a deep financial crisis and lost the right to be a local tyrant in the vegetable market, so he could only keep everything simple.

He wanted to get up early every morning, catch the first wave of morning sales, buy some cheap and smart vegetables, and after opening his eyes at 10 o'clock for three consecutive days, he finally resigned himself to buying some cheap and wilting vegetables in the discount area of the supermarket in the evening to survive.

On the first day, he stir-fried a cabbage at noon; In the evening he scrambled rice with leftover cabbage and rice with eggs.

The next day, he burned an eggplant and fried potatoes and spicy potatoes at noon, and turned two vegetables together in the evening into three fresh dishes.

On the third day, he cooked a bag of instant noodles and a tomato at noon, and in the evening he cooked a bowl of somen noodles with instant noodles.

On the fourth day, his doorbell rang, and Jingxi Fresh sent him two large bags of things, fruits, vegetables, fresh meat and milk, all bought according to his habits, and this thing could not be returned, Yuan Ben could only stuff them all into the refrigerator and send "thank you" to Xu Douxiao.

It was probably busy over there, and it wasn't until the evening that I replied "no".

Yuan Ben felt that if he continued like this, he would owe more and more favors, this favor debt was too much, and the relationship between him and Xu Douxiao was even more unclear, he tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sit still, and only drinking could relieve a thousand sorrows.

Although Yuan Ben does not have the habit of saving money, but he likes to save wine, he is known to be an alcoholic, colleagues and friends in order to vote for his favorite birthdays, New Year's festivals, travel souvenirs all send wine, he came out of the dormitory in addition to a few changes of clothes, but also brought five or six bottles of wine.

When you are happy, you drink sweet white rot, when you are sad, you drink rice wine, and when you are bored, you have a glass of whiskey.

When he was at a loss, Yuan Ben wanted to use wine to cook something to eat.

The kitchen is a place that needs to be focused, and every time he cooks, he seems to have stepped into a natural enchantment, and the disturbances are as if they are in a different world, between this world and the world, only him and the pots and pans, and this delicious food in the pot.

He picked a pear, opened a bottle of wine, and prepared to challenge a French dessert that he had seen during the day.

He killed an orange with a fruit knife, peeled and cut it into pieces, and peeled a little lemon peel for later use, he grabbed a handful of rock sugar, took some cinnamon, star anise, and a few blueberries, and threw them into a small pot to boil with red wine, boiled over high heat, and then boiled over low heat.

He put the pears in the bubbling red wine, and stared at the heat of the small pot with his hands, his head empty, and he fell into a brief peace.

What broke his tranquility was the prompt sound of the WeChat video invitation, it was his colleague Qin Momo, he hesitated for a moment, but still picked it up.

Yuan Ben and Qin Momo entered the museum at the same time, with the same major, one is curating, the other is preaching, they are very compatible in work, and it is rare to complain and scold people in private on a channel, this time he has a problem at work, Qin Momo is more angry than him, and he turned the whole thing in the museum, and he wanted to overturn the case for him.

"How is it, old Yuan." Qin Momo's face appeared on the screen, wearing a headscarf, wearing glasses, and her face was full of sadness, looking like she was rushing to the manuscript at home.

"Okay." Yuan Ben showed her the red wine and pears in the pot, "How are you?" ”

"Hey, hey, I'm still in the mood to cook, it seems that I can't die. I'm unlucky that you're off work, Chen Xiaomei is here except for you who know me, and I have now taken over your job as a nanny for foreign guests. Qin Momo complained, "Isn't this preparing for a weekend lecture?" ”

"That can't be helped, those who can work harder."

"By the way, Chen Xiaomei has been looking for someone to ask me for the past two days, how do I know where you are. Eh, you didn't contact him, did you? ”

"Contact what? I'm suspended. ”

"Don't play dumb." Qin Momo glanced at him, "Chen Kitten is chasing you so hard, don't you think about it?" ”

"......" Yuan Ben ignored her and concentrated on stirring his red wine.

Qin Momo: "Three years ago, you ignored Xu Douxiao together, it was reasonable." Now that everyone has brought their fiancées over, can't you just look at our Chen kitten? ”

Yuan Ben: "Why didn't I look at her squarely, every time I spoke, I looked him in the eyes, very focused and polite." ”

Qin Momo: "You don't come to this set often, to be honest, I think people are good, they have a high education, they are handsome, they have a demeanor, and they are also in love with you." ”

Yuan Ben: "He's so good, come here." Don't you shout every day to get off the list? ”

Qin Momo quenched him: "I want to." He's bent into a mosquito coil, there's no chance of going straight back, and I've been excluded from his choices since birth. ”

Yuan Ben laughed.

Qin Momo: "You tell the truth, what is wrong with Chen Kitten." ”

Yuan Ben didn't speak. took out a deep plate to hold his desserts, the purple and red pears were placed in the middle, the oranges full of red wine were placed on the side, and the residues of excessive red wine on his side, Qin Momo was croaking on the other end of the phone.

"Don't tell me that you still think about Xu Douxiao? People have fiancées, as your good sister, I advise you to be sober! Even if you don't like Chen Xiaomei, we can find someone else, if you don't want to find a man, there are many girls who like you. Do you remember Gu Miaomiao? ”

"Remember, Huanying and their family, what's wrong, I remember that she resigned."

"People are developed now, and today she came to see the exhibition, and she was blinded by a famous brand." Qin Momo vividly described the outfit of her former peers who combined luxury and taste, "She also asked you to come." ”

"What did you say?"

"What can I say, all I can say is that you've been on vacation lately. You can't say that you were framed by garbage and suspended. ”

"And then?"

"Then, I don't know where she got the news, I know that you are suspended, and when I ask, I either hate you, want to be happy, or I like you."

"I've had a few meetings with her, don't talk nonsense."

"Brother, don't you usually look in the mirror, just your little face, can you be called Tom Cruise in the literary and museum world? If I hadn't known you had a boyfriend, I would have fantasized about you. ”

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Qin Momo glanced down at WeChat, and smiled meaningfully, "Say Cao Cao Cao arrived, Miss Gu asked me for your contact information, I pushed your WeChat to her, it just so happens that you know more acquaintances, in case you are taken care of by Bai Fumei, don't forget my matchmaking." ”

Yuan Ben has long been accustomed to her not being able to speak: "I can't forget you, when the time comes, I will build you a small house on the roof of the garage to support your retirement." ”

"Can you give me a treehouse?"

"I'll get you one on the lawn, too."

"Bah, who's going to show you the nursing home."

"You."

Qin Momo: "I can't fight you, okay, it's great to be rich." By the way, where did you live after you moved out of your dorm? I promise not to tell Chen Kitten, you can tell me so that I can rest assured. ”

Yuan Ben can't say, he can't tell his colleague and friend that he lives in the house of his ex-boyfriend who has a fiancée, although he is a desperate expedient measure, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like a scumbag with bad intentions.

"What's going on? Why are you stuck, is it because of my bad signal? ”

Yuan Ben was thinking about picking up the airport and hanging up the phone, when the doorbell rang again. He thought that Xu Douxiao had bought something to send it again, so he took Qin Momo to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, there were two girls standing behind the door, one was quiet and calm in a plain dress, and the other was chic and capable in white shirt and jeans.

It was Ning Jun and Tong Ling.

It is said that Ning Jun cried at Xu Douxiao's house yesterday, and when she left, she remembered to restore everything to her place, she left the executive's apartment, and drove to Tong Ling's house with tears all the way to the edge of the speed limit, twisting and twisting all the way, scaring the cars on the road enough.

Tong Ling's first-level vigilance came in handy, she told her friends what she had seen and heard, and drank a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai's dozen beers with grievances, crying so much that she vomited so much that she almost couldn't even go to work the next day.

Things have come to this point, Tong Ling doesn't know what to say, her mother once taught her, people can't get to the bottom of things, everyone has secrets, you open one eye and close one eye, the world is hazy and can still live peacefully, both eyes are open, the world is clear, there is nowhere to hide, when you see the light, you also see the darkness, the dirty is always more than the clean, and this day will not go on.

But she doesn't regret Ning Jun's matter, if she doesn't check, her friends will be deceived into marriage every minute, how can there be any light in the future, the dark world of Yishui, she has seen a lot of this kind of thing on the Internet, romantic and considerate before marriage, but after marriage, she is indifferent and ruthless, she can't find the door if she wants to divorce, she can't let her sisters fall to that point.

"In that case, let's go and see Xu Douxiao's house one last time." Tong Ling waved the wine bottle in her hand, "Anyway, I've already checked, just check it out, I want to see what secrets his house has, whether he wants to hide his property, or the golden house hides Jiaojiao!" ”

So they stood here, facing Yuan Ben face to face across a threshold.

The scene was so tense that no one spoke for a while.

Tong Ling thrust her waist and asked with a cold face, "Why do you live in Xu Douxiao's house?" ”

", Lao Yuan, you ......" Qin Momo on the other side of the screen was also shocked, and couldn't help but sigh.

Yuan Ben sighed and said to Qin Momo: "If you have something, I'll call you back." He simply hung up the phone.

He was about to open his mouth to explain, when the elevator opened the door with a "ding", and Xu Douxiao, who was supposed to be in a meeting in the field, walked out.
