Chapter 20 Dinner for Three(1/2)
"Then you can help wash the vegetables."
Ai Liang took out green peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, eggs and other ingredients from the refrigerator and put them in the basket.
Yang Xingyue stood aside and washed vegetables. The snickering from time to time made her face red.
‘It’s like a newlywed couple.’
This thought grew wildly and spread wildly in Yang Xingyue's heart like wild grass.
"Star and Moon."
‘Hey hey, couple...’
Yang Xingyue smiled foolishly.
"Star and Moon."
"What's wrong? Old... Ai Liang!"
Yang Xingyue, who almost blurted out the fantasy in her mind, screamed and tried to hide what had just happened.
"The water is about to be full."
Ai Liang pointed to the steel basin in the pool with a faint look.
"Ah?...ahhh!"
Yang Xingyue panickedly lifted the steel basin and splashed water everywhere.
"Sorry! Then, I'll go cut vegetables!"
Yang Xingyue quickly took out a green pepper from the water and put it on the chopping board. He raised his knife and made the green pepper everywhere.
"...you go out, I'll do it myself."
Putting someone who has never cooked in the kitchen was a wrong decision. She wouldn't have anything but messed up.
Yang Xingyue, who was driven out by being lifted, felt her face burning.
Looking at the kitchen door that was closed with a slam, Yang Xingyue felt a strong sense of frustration.
"Yeah, good material."
Yue Qihua sighed as she looked at the video of her mobile phone, with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Huahua, delete it quickly!"
Yang Xingyue pounced on Yue Qihua but was dodged by her.
"This is not possible, I want to keep it as a souvenir."
Yue Qihua showed a sweet smile, and then backed up the video in a folder called "The History of Stars and Moon Growth".
This folder records all the embarrassing things Yang Xingyue has experienced since she was a child.
Ahhhh so shameful!
Yang Xingyue, who knew that her force was inferior to the opponent, squatted down and covered her face with her hands.
Yue Qihua smiled so badly that she secretly recorded this scene.
Ignoring the yellow-haired girls who were fighting outside, Ai Liang blocked the outside voice in the kitchen and took peace of mind to cook rice.
Half an hour later, the two of them were tired of playing lying on the sofa and brushing short videos.
"It's time to eat."
Ai Liang, wearing an apron, opened the kitchen door and walked out, with an indifferent expression on his face.
Yang Xingyue took the lead in looking at the table and shrugged her nose: "It smells so good."
"Just a few home-cooked dishes."
After washing his hands, Ai Liang wiped the water droplets on the hanging towel.
Green pepper shredded pork, sour potato shreds, stir-fried lettuce, add a pot of tomato and egg soup, and three dishes and one soup.
"Oh ~ don't mind taking a photo, do you?"
Yue Qihua ran to the dining table with her cell phone and asked.
"casual."
Ai Liang picked up a pair of bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to serve the meal.
"Then I'm not polite. I have to record the first meal I made for Xingyue."
Yue Qihua took photos against the dining table, which was different from the angle of the other person who was careful to play with her. She liked to take a bunch of photos at one time and then select the best ones from it.
"Don't say it's like it's made for me to eat alone! Don't you eat it!"
Yang Xingyue, who had just returned from washing her hands, immediately pulled Yue Qihua to the bathroom when she heard this. I don’t know why Yue Qihua always likes to tease her today.
After dinner, Yang Xingyue and Yue Qihua took the initiative to clean up the dishes.
After eating other people's food, you should not do nothing just because you are full, let alone the customer cooks and lets the customer wash the dishes.
"I'll go back first." Ailiang changed his shoes and snatched notes and novels to the kitchen.
"Ah, it's getting late, so why not stay here... um um um um."
Yue Qihua could only whisper halfway through her words. She didn't have to think about it and knew that it must be Yang Xingyue who covered her mouth.
After a slight riot, Yang Xingyue ran out in slippers and bent down slightly at Ai Liang: "Be careful on the road."
"Um."
Ai Liang reached out and held the door handle and brought the security door from outside.
"Can't you take off your gloves and cover me, making my face full of oil stains." Yue Qihua complained while picking up the facial cleanser.
"Really, why do you always be like a child when only the three of us are together?" Yang Xingyue said in a dissatisfied tone.
“Eh? Is there any…?”
Yue Qihua, who was washing her face, stopped her hand.
"Of course, there are. In the past, the same was true when the three of us went to the bookstore together, and on the way home from school."
Yang Xingyue continued to say from the side: "It feels like she has become a person. She always jokes about me and Ai Liang, and she is just two people."
Yue Qihua raised her head, and a foamy face reflected in the mirror. She couldn't see her expression clearly, but her eyes were a little dull.
"Huahua?"
After talking for a long time, he didn't hear Yue Qihua's answer. Yang Xingyue came over and waved her with her palm, "Isn't you angry?"
"Ah? Ah, I was just thinking about a formula, what are you talking about?"
The distracted Yue Qihua then reacted and turned her head to look at Yang Xingyue.
Seeing that Yue Qihua's emotions had not changed much, Yang Xingyue said in a complaining tone: "I'm talking about why you always like to joke with me and Ai Liang."
"This...you see, since we met Ai Liang, he has always looked cold, so don't you be curious about his other expressions?"
Yue Qihua said with a smile as she washed away the foam on her face.
"Then don't always joke about me, I'll be shy too... can't you use yourself?"
Yang Xingyue's voice gradually became weaker after speaking.
"I don't care, just because I'm afraid that someone's jealous jar will be filled with sour smell."
Yue Qihua wiped the moisture with a wet towel and looked in the mirror to see if there was any foam left on her face.
"You introduced Ailiang to us, how could I be jealous of you? At first I thought you had a boyfriend... It hurts so much! What are you doing!"
Yang Xingyue squatted down on the top of her head with her hands, and her tears were circulating.
That's the person you like...
Yue Qihua murmured in a low voice, unable to hear what she was saying.
Yang Xingyue squatted on the ground and protested: "Don't hit me in the head, I suspect that you have liked to hit me in the head since you were a child and I became stupid."
Yue Qihua sighed and touched Yang Xingyue's head and comforted her, "Okay, get up and wash the dishes quickly."
......
It was completely dark when Ailiang left the apartment.
Just after dinner time, there were many people coming out for a walk, walking dogs and taking care of children nearby.
Ai Liang, who didn't want to wait for the bus, called Didi directly and got home soon.
The sound of opening the door echoed in the living room.
Even in the summer, the room is terrible cold.
Ailiang turned on the headlights in the living room, and the warm yellow light slightly dispelled the loneliness brought by the quiet environment.
The classmate's house, who was still lively at the last moment, and the next moment, he returned to the silent house like a haunted house. Every time he returned home, Ai Liang would have a very strong sense of reality, as if he was returning to not home but an isolated island.
Nothing different from the past, Ailiang returned to the room and put down his notes and novels, turned on the air conditioner and took off his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
To be continued...
