Coming out of the memory, the dumplings rolled three rounds in boiling water.

Lin Xi turned off the fire, took out two plates with a colander spoon, brought them to the dining table in the living room, and shouted, "The dumplings are cooked." ”

"Wow, it smells so good—"

Ji Yuanqi followed the aroma to the dining table, leaned over to smell it, tilted his head and looked at Lin Xi with a smile.

"I'm really right, my sister makes something delicious when she sees it."

"No, you're wrong," Lin Xi said calmly, "I can't eat anything except dumplings." ”

Xu Tingyi came over to take a look, and also reached out with chopsticks and stuffed a dumpling into her mouth: "Ah, it's hot!" ”

"You slow down......"

"Hmm! It's delicious! Xu Tingyi's eyes lit up, "Shallow, the level of your dumplings is simply better than that of Peony Building!" ”

"Don't boast, if you praise me again, I'll open a breakfast shop after graduation."

Eating too much in the cafeteria at night, Lin Xi was not hungry at all, just sat at the table and watched Xu Tingyi and Ji Yuanqi eat.

Xu Tingyi ate four or five dumplings and was full, sat there and played with her mobile phone to eat, and Lin Xi waited for Ji Yuanqi to eat well and clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Ji Yuanqi ate very seriously.

His fingers were white and bony, and he used chopsticks to pick up the round dumplings and stuff them in his mouth with a little vinegar.

The dumplings are steaming hot, adding a bit of earthly fireworks to this empty house.

Quiet and slow, but Lin Xi always felt that Ji Yuanqi's eyes were a little deep.

The eyes are so beautiful that they seem to reflect the sea of stars, but the starlight is dim.

"Why do you suddenly want to eat dumplings?"

Lin Xi wanted to ask, so he asked, but as soon as he said it, he felt that it was a stupid question

INTERVIEWER Do you need any more reason to want to eat something?

Ji Yuanqi made a move, and raised his eyes to look at Lin Xi: "Because today is a special day." ”

“… A special day? Lin Xi thought about it, it doesn't seem that today is a festival that requires eating dumplings.

Just as she was about to speak, her phone on the table suddenly rang.

“… ATM？ ”

Xu Tingyi caught a glimpse of the call reminder on the screen and looked at Lin Xi: "Qianqian, why is there a bank calling you in the middle of the night?" ”

“… It's not a bank, it's Fu Jingchen. ”

Hearing this name, Xu Tingyi immediately gossiped, and Lin Xi went to the side to pick up the phone.

But Ji Yuanqi paused his chopsticks, his expression changed, and he asked Xu Tingyi: "... Fu Jingchen? Which Fu? ”

"It's the president of the Fu Group," Xu Tingyi said with a grin, "Don't ask me what their relationship is, I don't know." ”

On the other side, Lin Xi spoke into the phone: "... Feed? ”

"Where are you so late?" Fu Jingchen's voice came in a deep voice.

Lin Xi glanced at the time, it was already past eleven o'clock: "At a friend's house." ”

“… Male friends? Fu Jingchen paused and asked.

"With my roommate, and her brother."

Fu Jingchen didn't say anything more, and asked Lin Xi: "Where did you put the scented candle you lit for me that night?" ”

"Scented candles?" Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and reacted: "Mr. Fu, are you unable to sleep again?" ”

“… Well. ”

"That candle has burned out that day, and I have a new one in my room, but you may not find it."

"I'll go back now, you wait for me for a while, I'll take a taxi back."

For a person with severe insomnia, it is difficult to endure the long sleepless nights of loneliness and irritability after a good night's sleep.

The last period of Shi Qian's life was spent all night with his eyes open, so Lin Xi knew how painful insomnia was.

"Tingting, I have to go back." Lin Xi returned to the table.

"What's the matter, Fu Jingchen has something to do with you?"

Xu Tingyi still felt incredible when she thought that Shi Qian was now living with Fu Jingchen.

"Sort of," Lin Xi said, "I remember that your place of residence is near here, so I'll take a taxi and leave first." ”

"Sister," Ji Yuanqi suddenly spoke, "There is no taxi near this point." ”

“… What? Lin Xi was stunned.

"Indeed... This place is more out of the way. ”

Xu Tingyi scratched her head and said, "There are no taxis nearby, and online car-hailing doesn't come here so late." ”

Lin Xi frowned slightly, not knowing how to go for a while.

"Where does my sister live?" Ji Yuanqi stood up, "I'll send you back." ”
