Chapter 81: I Need to Calm Down
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of pepper after stir-frying, and the range hood made a loud roar.
Xie Xingqian put the washed rice into the rice cooker, added water, closed the lid, and pressed the steamed rice button.
The rice cooker began to operate, Xie Xingqian washed the handle, and retreated to the island.
The beef was simmering in the pot, and the sound of gurgling could be heard, Jiang Jianyue threw the cut potatoes and carrots into it, picked up the spice bottle on the other side, and poured the soy sauce into the pot.
Jiang Jianyue's cooking skills are limited, so she doesn't think about plating or anything, she puts whatever ingredients she has at hand, and when the potatoes and beef stewed in the pot look better, she turns around and mixes cold dishes.
Smoke was billowing and she was wearing an apron, gray, plaid pattern, which he wore when cooking. It's a bit big for her, and she can only tie a big knot behind her back.
Xie Xingqi's gaze lingered on her back and fell to her face.
She lowered her eyelashes, worked neatly, and looked quiet and serious.
Xie Xingqi's deepest impression of her is also like this.
Focused, even she didn't know how beautiful she was.
"You go to watch TV, there's a lot of smoke here, what are you doing here?" Jiang Jianyue took the time to look at him.
Xie Xingqian leaned lazily against the island, "You do yours." ”
Jiang Jianyue snorted: "What, I'm afraid I'll burn down the kitchen?" ”
Xie Xingqian just laughed, didn't say yes or no.
All right.
Jiang Jianyue lowered her eyes and continued to be busy with herself.
At about seven o'clock, the meal was ready.
Jiang Jianyue turned off the range hood, lifted the lid of the pot, and the heat was scattered, and the fragrance attracted people to be hungry.
She washed her hands, reached out to untie the knots behind her, as if they were entangled, and turned her head to look.
Xie Xingqian stared at her and smiled, reached out and hooked his fingers to let her pass.
Jiang Jianyue felt that he was like teasing a cat, his cheeks bulged, and he deliberately didn't go over, so he had to solve it himself.
As a result, after a lot of effort, the knot was completely killed.
She glanced at Xie Xingqi, he hooked the corners of his mouth, slowly paced towards her, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed her waist.
Jiang Jianyue's breathing tightened, and the whole person turned around with his strength.
Xie Xingqian lowered her eyes, and what caught her eye was her fair neck, her slightly sweaty broken hair stuck to her skin, and she was already wearing a low-necked vest.
“……”
Xie Xingqian stood silently behind her for a moment, her slender fingers hooking the knotted rope and beginning to untie it slowly.
The warm breath sprayed thin on the back of Jiang Jianyue's neck, passing a fine itch.
She touched her face, a little hot.
The kitchen is open and there is air conditioning, how can she be so hot?
Holding on to the edge of the island, Jiang Jianyue whispered: "It's not good......
Her words are very soft, and the tail note is slightly swaying, which sounds soft and soft.
Xie Xingqian paused, and then the belt around his waist was suddenly tightened, and Jiang Jianyue exclaimed in a low voice.
"Alright." Xie Xingqian loosened the strap.
I untied it and deliberately teased it...... This man.
Jiang Jianyue lowered her head and took off her apron by herself.
Xie Xingqian straightened up, walked to the living room again, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to Jiang Jianyue.
Jiang Jianyue put away the apron and looked at the man's back for some reason, what did she mean, so she urged him and got angry?
After a while, Xie Xingqian came back, took out the dishes and began to serve the dishes, "Go add rice, I'll serve the dishes." ”
Jiang Jianyue scooped two bowls of rice, and went to get chopsticks and soup spoons, and after Xie Xingqian brought the dishes to the table, he took a towel and silently wiped the water stains on the island.
Jiang Jianyue stopped and asked tentatively, "Were you angry just now?" ”
Xie Xingqian raised his head: "What are you angry about?" ”
Jiang Jianyue pursed her lips: "I asked you to help, and I urged you." ”
Xie Xing's eyebrows curled, "I'm not angry, how can I think so." ”
Jiang Jianyue: "You ran to the balcony, you don't seem to want to pay attention to me." ”
Xie Xingqian was stunned, put down the towel, and turned on the faucet to rinse his hands.
After washing, he wiped dry it with paper, came over and touched Jiang Jianyue's head, "I didn't want to ignore you, I just need to calm down." ”
When Jiang Jianyue heard this, her eyes drooped: "Only when you are angry do you need to be calm." ”
Xie Xingqian paused, led her to the restaurant, and whispered, "Really not, I just don't want to delay your meal." ”
Jiang Jianyue didn't understand, looked up and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Xie Xingqian stared at her with dark eyes, his gaze sweeping over her face and neck.
Jiang Jianyue: "Huh? ”
"Nothing," he said slowly, pressing her into a chair, "eat." ”
……
This year's Jiangcheng is different from previous years, perhaps due to the heavy rain that lasted for nearly half a month in July, even though it is already August, the temperature in Jiangcheng is not unbearable.
It started raining again on Thursday morning, and the city cooled down quickly.
The cool weather brought a good mood and another weekend, and after noon, the atmosphere in the office was noticeably more relaxed.
Jiang Jianyue washed the box of grapes, put them on the workstation, and prepared to start the afternoon's work.
Meng Jia leaned over, stared at the grapes and said enviously, "Officer Xie prepared it for you again?" ”
Jiang Jianyue smiled: "If you want to eat it, take it yourself." ”
Meng Jia took two, looked at her and said, "I used to think that it was good for you to get married, you were all in the bureau, and it was convenient for me to knock CP." ”
She spat out the pits and continued, "But I see you're getting too much now. ”
Jiang Jianyue stopped what she was doing and raised her eyebrows to look at her.
Meng Jia said angrily: "You are inseparable every day, Officer Xie will pick you up as soon as he gets off duty, tell me yourself, we haven't been shopping for a long time!" ”
"......" Jiang Jianyue couldn't help but laugh, "Then when do you want to go shopping, I'll accompany you?" ”
Meng Jia struck while the iron was hot: "It's so cool today, what do you say!" ”
Jiang Jianyue thought for a while and said, "I'll say a word to Xie Xingqi." ”
……
Xie Xingqian had just finished a report when he received the information.
Qin Zhao asked him to eat barbecue after work, but he was about to refuse.
The mobile phone rang at this time, and he put Qin Zhao aside and looked down at WeChat.
Yue: [Meng Jia asked me to go shopping after work, you don't have to wait for me for a while.] 】
Xie Xingqi's lips pursed.
Qin Zhao looked at his expression and asked on the side, "Does Jiang see the moon?" You called her together, it's so cool today, don't go back to cooking. ”
Xie Xingqian got up and walked to the window, feeling that Qin Zhao was chattering so noisy.
He replied: [Eating out? 】
Jiang Jianyue quickly came back: [Well, come back after eating. 】
Xie Xingqian paused for a long time: [Okay. 】
[Then I'll get together with Qin Zhao after work. 】
After replying to WeChat, he looked up: "You accompany me to Wanda, and I will accompany you to eat barbecue." ”
Qin Zhao: "What are you going to Wanda for?" The barbecue over there is not delicious and expensive. ”
Xie Xingqi: "I'll go get something, and I can eat it wherever you want to eat after taking it." ”
Qin Zhao immediately responded: "Okay, then it's decided, don't get off work and run away." ”
Xie Xingqian nodded.
So the couple's first date after marriage was decided.
