In the kitchen.

Li Zhibin looked at the busy Yao Yuanyuan a little helplessly.

He wanted to help, but he hadn't cooked himself and didn't know where to start.

"Vinegar, help me ......" Yao Yuanyuan didn't notice that there was a change of person behind him, and subconsciously halfway through speaking, he turned his head to find that Li Zhibin was stunned there, "Why did you come in?" ”

"I'm here to help." Li Zhibin scratched his head, "Do you want to take anything?" ”

"Wash your hands, and then help me bring the pork tenderloin cut over there." Yao Yuanyuan began to command.

Don't look at her family's good conditions, when she was a child, Pei Qinglan often had to go on business trips for the first time, and there were three people at home, just her and her grandparents.

So Yao Yuanyuan learned to cook with his grandmother very early, and his skills are still good.

After Li Zhibin got the order, he immediately walked to the sink, carefully washed his hands, and brought the pork loin that was soaked in cooking wine soy sauce on the cutting board to Yao Yuanyuan.

Yao Yuanyuan, who had just stir-fried ginger and garlic, poured the pork loin into the pot and stir-fried it slightly, and the aroma of pork wafted in the kitchen.

After a while, Li Zhibin came out with fried shredded celery and meat and put it on the table.

He glanced in the direction of the living room and found that Xu Xing and Yan Chi Vinegar were sitting on one side of the sofa, and couldn't help but shake their heads helplessly.

He even felt a little guilty when he walked back to the kitchen.

After all, during the Chinese New Year last year, it was he who instigated Xu Xing to step on two boats when he complained.

Although he was just complaining at that time, the ghost knew that Xu Xing really planned to do this.

If Sister Yuanyuan knew about this, I don't know if she would fire him in a fit of anger.

"Are you still going to the library today?" Xu Xing asked.

"I'll stay here at night." Yan Chi Vinegar's hand supported his chin, his elbow rested on the armrest of the sofa, and he turned his head and looked out the window of the balcony, "Sister Nian Nian should be in the library." ”

Xu Xing really didn't know how to answer this.

"Is this a habit of life? Is it tiring to soak in the library every day to study? ”

"It's not going to be any more tiring than it was in high school."

"Preparing for graduate school in your junior year?"

"Hmm."

"What about after grad school? Any plans? ”

"Looks like you have any good suggestions?"

"I respect your own ideas."

"Really?" Yan Chi Vinegar smiled, "But Sister Nian Nian told me that Ling seemed to recommend us to go to the charity department of the stars." ”

"That's just an assumption." Xu Xing coughed, "By the way, is your relationship so good?" Even these things will be shared? ”

"Do you think I have a bad relationship with Sister Nian Nian?" Yan Chi squinted his eyes, "If it weren't for someone." ”

This always feels familiar.

"Actually, the relationship could be better."

"Stinky and shameless."

Well, let's talk to death again.

Xu Xing got up and walked around the living room, then ran to the balcony and held on to the windowsill, watching the sunset near the end of the evening.

Yan Chi Vinegar in the room took out his mobile phone and looked at it casually, occasionally looking up at the back on the balcony, and was outlined in a shallow halo under the backlight of the setting sun.

The composition is pretty good.

She picked up her mobile phone and took a photo, just as Xu Xing turned around and saw his small movements, so she leaned against the windowsill and posed: "Don't you think about another one?" ”

"I'm taking a selfie, don't be stinky." Yan Chi Vinegar put down the phone and quickly turned off the camera function in the mobile phone interface.

In the kitchen, Li Zhibin was still helping Yao Yuanyuan.

The two worked together seamlessly, and Yao Yuanyuan also enjoyed the atmosphere.

Stir-frying while chatting is indeed much more interesting than going directly to a restaurant to eat.

"What's wrong with those two people in the living room?"

"Uh...... Sitting on the couch, it still looks like that. ”

"Then what do you think of Xu Niannian?" Yao Yuanyuan asked.

From Yao Yuanyuan's own point of view, although he has been in contact with Xu Niannian and occasionally met in the company, he has never been a deep friend.

The relationship chain with Xu Niannian is more of a link from Yanchi vinegar to Xu Xing and then to Xu Niannian.

I can only be regarded as an ordinary friend, so naturally I can't talk about understanding.

Li Zhibin and Xu Xing have been classmates since childhood, and they are old acquaintances with Xu Niannian, so they should know more than themselves.

It's just that in front of Yao Yuanyuan, Li Zhibin really doesn't know what to say.

It's all to blame on Xu Xing!

"I'll just ask casually, you're not Xu Xing, what are you nervous about?" Yao Yuanyuan was speechless.

"I just don't know what to say."

"Just say it normally."

"Actually, Sister Nian Nian is very good." Li Zhibin scratched his head and said in embarrassment, "She has had a good relationship with Xu Xing since she was a child, and she has always taken good care of her younger brother, and she is also generous, humorous and cheerful. ”

"So she has been premeditated since she was a child?"

"Ahem......" Li Zhibin touched his nose to hide his embarrassment, "I really don't know about this, but if I knew early on that it was not my own, it would be normal to have some other feelings for Xu Xing." ”

"It's bloody." Yao Yuanyuan sighed, "I knew that this would be the case, and I wouldn't have instigated vinegar in the first place." ”

Although Yao Yuanyuan later found that Xu Xing's take-off speed was too fast, he was also worried about the future of vinegar vinegar and Xu Xing.

But at that time, Xu Xing didn't show any other thoughts at all, and he didn't seem to have changed his temperament because of the temporary rise.

So Yao Yuanyuan was once more optimistic about this relationship.

It's just that no one could have imagined that the biggest variable came from the sister closest to Xu Xing.

"It's all happening." Li Zhibin was a little helpless, "Let's not interfere with their choice." ”

"Let it be." Yao Yuanyuan put the last dish into a bowl and handed it to Li Zhibin to take out.

But before Li Zhibin walked out of the kitchen, Yao Yuanyuan gently grabbed Li Zhibin's sleeve, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face, and said with a smile: "Reward you, you have worked hard for me." ”

"Hmm...... No no. Li Zhibin smirked happily, and immediately stopped the corners of his upturned mouth, "I was supposed to cook, but I don't know how to cook yet......"

"It's okay, I'll teach you later." Yao Yuanyuan took off his apron, pushed Li Zhibin's back with both hands, and the two walked out of the kitchen together.

When he wasn't in love before, Yao Yuanyuan always felt that love was just that.

After I really tried it myself, I realized the beauty of it.

Besides, the subject is still a little brother, and if you tease it a little, that reaction is very cute, and it's one of the fun she's having on weekdays now.

The two people in the living room somehow reverted to a sofa layout on the left and right.

Seeing the two people in the kitchen walking out so intimately, I didn't know what was going on in my mouth.

"Let's eat." Yao Yuanyuan clapped his hands and beckoned, "This is the first time you've tasted my craft." ”

"So, we are still stained with Abin's light?" Xu Xing stood up from the sofa and teased as he walked over.

"If you know, it's good." Yao Yuanyuan sighed, "Not everyone can eat the dishes I cook." ”

"The dishes made by the birthday boy are definitely not ordinary."

Xu walked to the dining table, first helped Yan Chi Vinegar, who came behind him, pull out the chair, and then sat down on the chair next to him.

Yan Chi Vinegar glanced at the dining table.

The dining table in Yao Yuanyuan's house is in the shape of an oval, with two long sides under a dark board that can be turned up to turn the table into a large round table.

But today, it's just a dinner for four people, so I don't need this.

If you sit in the protruding arc at both ends, you will be too far away from the plate.

At this time, Yao Yuanyuan and Li Zhibin on the opposite side had already taken their seats, and Yan Chi Vinegar had no choice but to accept Xu Xing's kindness and sit down on the chair he pulled out.

After the four of them sat down and started, Xu Xing tasted it and commented: "The taste is really good." ”

"It's delicious." Li Zhibin immediately followed.

"Why don't you prepare a cake?" Xu Xing was curious, "I didn't mention it when Abin came before, I thought you were ready." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm past the stage where I like to celebrate my birthday with a cake." Yao Yuanyuan said lightly, "And it's easy to get fat if you eat too much." ”

"Indeed, that's good." Li Zhibin also nodded, and the woman sang with her husband, "Anyway, many times the cake is used to wipe the face." ”

"Oh yes." Speaking of this, Li Zhibin suddenly remembered something, took out a small gift box from his trouser pocket, put it on the table and handed it over, "This is a birthday gift, happy birthday." ”

"Thank you." Yao Yuanyuan had a smile on his face and accepted it happily, "I won't open it yet, and I'll look at it before I go to bed at night." ”

At this time, Yan Chi Vinegar on the opposite side also said: "I have already put your bedroom as a birthday gift." ”

"What did you buy?"

"Won't you wait for the evening to take it apart and see it yourself?"

"You're not my boyfriend."

Yan Chi vinegar: "......"

Li Zhibin's expression on the opposite side changed and changed, looking happy and not wanting Yan Chi Vinegar to see that he was happy, it was quite awkward.

Xu Xing snickered beside him, was glanced at by Yan Chi vinegar, and immediately became serious: "So what did you send?" ”

"It's just a piece of clothing, a down jacket for winter." Yan Chi vinegar said, "What gift did you buy?" ”

"Me?" Xu Xing shook his head, "I asked her for leave, and the boss came in person, which is the biggest gift, right?" ”

"It's shameless." Yao Yuanyuan rolled his eyes.

But it's okay that Xu Xing doesn't give gifts.

The simplicity of the gift seems that he doesn't pay attention to it, and the gift is precious, and it looks embarrassing to compare Li Zhibin's gift.

In fact, if Xu Xing and Yan Chi Vinegar are still two people, with Yan Chi Vinegar's hands, it would be good to only give one gift, and there would not be so many twists and turns.

……

After eating, Xu Xing volunteered to wash the dishes as a birthday present.

For the sake of the big boss washing the dishes himself, Yao Yuanyuan also accepted his statement.

The lights in the living room were turned off and it was darkened.

Yao Yuanyuan put out the horror film that had been prepared for a long time, and pulled Li Zhibin to sit on the sofa to watch.

Yan Chi Vinegar sat on the side, wanting to lean over and report to Yao Yuanyuan to keep warm, but after glancing at the dog man and woman, after thinking about it again and again, he got up and walked towards the kitchen.

"Why are you going?"

"One more birthday present for you."

With that, she opened the kitchen sliding door, and when she entered, she closed the door and returned the world to the two.

At this time, Xu Xing was still washing dishes.

"Huh? How did you get in? ”

Xu Xing turned his head and saw Yan Chi Vinegar walking in on his own initiative, and was a little surprised.

Yan Chi Vinegar walked up to him, helped put the washed dishes into the cupboard, and then began to help clean them as well: "The two of them are fine, I won't bother." ”

"It can't be kissing, is it?" Xu Xing curiously pulled the kitchen door, looked out through the gap, and was pulled back by Yan Chi vinegar.

"You're all bored." Yan Chi Vinegar said, "They're watching horror movies. ”

"Oh, that's the routine." Xu Xing nodded, "Don't you see it?" ”

"If Sister Yuanyuan hadn't hugged Abin, I wouldn't mind taking a look."

"That's right." Xu Xing smiled, and then said, "If you're afraid, I'll watch it with you later." ”

"You're just trying to do something to me."

"You think too much, as long as you don't agree, I won't move."

“…… More on that later. ”

Ten minutes later, the dishes were washed.

And the horror movie of more than 100 minutes outside has actually just begun.

When Xu Xing and Yan Chi vinegar came out, they glanced at the sofa by the light in the kitchen, and didn't see any indescribable pictures.

The main reason is that Li Zhibin, this kid, is too restrained, and after hugging Yao Yuanyuan's waist, the whole person is frozen there, and there is no superfluous movement at all.

Xu Xing was very suspicious of whether this guy was watching the film, and his attention was probably all on Yao Yuanyuan.

Yan Chi Vinegar behind him turned off the kitchen light, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

Xu Xing took advantage of the faint light of the TV set to walk towards the sofa and sat down on the sofa with Yan Chi Vinegar.

The couch is quite spacious, Yan Chi Vinegar didn't dare to sit on the single sofa alone, and after seeing Xu Xing sit down, he hesitated a little and sat on the vacant seat between Yao Yuanyuan and Xu Xing.

Once the four of them sat down, there wasn't much space.

However, there was still a gap between Xu Xing and Yan Chi Vinegar.

The two of them leaned on the sofa, and Xu Xing asked naturally, "What is this film about?" ”

"After the husband cheated on him, his wife went insane and drowned in the bathtub, and the husband felt guilty and took his daughter back to a big villa in the countryside to relax, and then a series of bizarre things happened." Li Zhibin seriously introduced the outline of the movie.

After listening to this introduction, Xu Xing was silent for a moment: "Have you seen it?" ”

"It's written in the introduction."

"Don't say more, take a closer look." Yao Yuanyuan said.

All four fell silent.

The living room is filled with an eerie atmosphere because of the film's eerie background music.

Yan Chi Vinegar looked nervously at the first perspective of the little daughter in the film, beating her heart to the beat of the music, and her eyes slowly shifted around the corner.

Luckily, there was nothing around the corner.

But when the little girl turned around and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of the little girl.

In an instant, Yan Chi vinegar followed the little girl's mood and beat her heart violently.

By the time she came back to her senses, her left hand was already dragging Xu Xing's clothes.

"Clothes are easy to tear and deform." Xu Xing thanked Yao Yuanyuan in his heart and stretched out his palm.

But Yan Chi Vinegar withdrew his hand: "I was just startled, and I won't be able to do it later." ”
