Jiangcheng.

A residential area not far from Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.

A sound of iron pot and spatula colliding came, and a scent could be smelled...

"Mom, you are so busy with work, so there is no need to come here to cook for me on purpose. I can cook or order takeaway by myself."

Cui Geng couldn't help but say, looking at the busy figure in the kitchen.

"Your task now is to study hard and not waste time and energy on other things."

My mother in an apron shook her head and responded casually while busy: "It would be even worse to order takeout. Those are junk foods, so unhealthy. Eating too much affects intelligence."

“…”

Cui Geng showed an expression of "I knew it would be like this" on his face, sighed, and sat on the sofa and doubted his life.

His name is Cui Geng.

He is seventeen years old this year and is a sophomore student at Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.

The family is quite wealthy.

Because he didn't like living in school, his family bought a house in a community near the school for him to study, which allowed Cui Geng to enjoy the joy of living alone every day after school.

Of course, it is not something you can enjoy every day.

My mother is busy with work, but every few days she will take time to cook for him, which is called supplementing nutrition.

But Cui Geng felt that he might not need to supplement in this way...

Soon, supper is ready.

A plate of curry potato chicken, a plate of cumin roasted chicken wings, a plate of spinach mixed with fungus, and a bowl of lean meat porridge.

It looks very rich.

"Why don't you eat?"

The mother looked at her son, frowned slightly, and was worried: "Is it because she studied too hard and she has no appetite?"

"Uh...that's not."

Cui Geng looked at the exquisite dinner on the table and thought of his mother's hard work to take care of him. He hesitated. Based on the idea of ​​"It's better to have a short pain than long pain", he said: "Mom, I have also made a plate of cumin roasted chicken wings before, and there is a little bit in the refrigerator, otherwise you can try it?"

Mom was a little confused.

Cui Geng got up and went to the refrigerator to take out the cumin roasted chicken wings he had made before, heated them in a microwave for a few minutes, and then gave them to his mother: "Try it."

My mother ate a piece of it doubtfully, and found that it was ten times better than what she had made, and she was silent.

"Mom, although I like your skills, I know that you are very busy at work. If you take time to take care of me, it will be too hard. So you see, I can take good care of myself, right?"

Cui Geng looked at his mother's uncertain face and said carefully.

"My son has grown up and he has begun to dislike his mother."

Mom sighed, a little sad.

"Uh...this isn't that."

Cui Geng quickly explained: "There is no intention of disgust. I mainly want to say that I can take care of myself..."

"Although you didn't say it, that's what you think in your heart."

Mom said in a sure tone.

Cui Geng: "..."

He was a little helpless. Just as he was about to speak, his mother's cell phone suddenly rang and then answered: "Hey, how could this happen? How is the situation now? Okay, I'll go there now."

"The company has something to do, I'll leave first."

Mom glared at him: "Hurry up and finish it. If I find that you don't eat, let me see how I deal with you."

“…”

Cui Geng was speechless.

Seeing his mother get up and leave, he also got up: "Mom, I'll give you a gift."

Push the door and walked out.

Walking downstairs and watching his mother leave in the car, Cui Geng sighed and felt a headache.

Back upstairs.

Cui Geng was about to open the door when he suddenly heard a sound coming from a distance. He turned his head and saw that it was the neighbor's house opposite.

A girl in her twenties walked out, about 1.7 meters tall, she was very beautiful, with a ponytail and a light gray casual outfit, which made people shine.

"Sister Su Xi, are you going out?"

Cui Geng smiled and greeted the neighbor's sister.

The girl's name is Su Xi. She is a new neighbor who had just moved in a few days ago. On the day she moved in, she also gave him a box of chocolate. I think it should be to get along with neighborhoods.

For this reason, Cui Geng still has a good impression of this polite young lady.

Of course, appearance is also a very important plus point.

"ah?"

Su Xi was suddenly called and was a little panicked. She looked up and saw Cui Geng. She paused for a few seconds before she remembered that this was the neighbor opposite. She immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'll go out for breakfast... no, have supper."

"Eat."

Cui Geng's eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea and said with a smile: "Sister Su Xi, it's too troublesome to go out for dinner. Come to my house for dinner."

“This is too troublesome.”

Su Xi shook her head and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"No trouble, it's boring for me to eat alone. Moreover, my mother cooked too much just now and I couldn't finish it myself. I don't have the habit of eating overnight meals, so I can only throw it away tomorrow."

Cui Geng shrugged: "You probably don't want to waste food, right?"

"this……"

Su Xi was a little confused: "What about auntie? Wouldn't you eat with you?"

"My mother's company has a temporary urgent matter and she just left by car."

Cui Geng glanced at the elevator: "I just went downstairs to send her back."

"That's how it is."

Su Xi understood.

"Help solve the dinner, otherwise it will be cold."

Cui Geng said: "You gave me a box of chocolate before. Now I treat you to dinner, just treat it as a courtesy. I may live alone here in the future. It is still necessary to establish a good neighborhood relationship."

"this……"

Su Xi hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

She didn't want to go out to eat either.

Especially at night, there are many people every time she goes out to have dinner, which makes her a little scared.

Moreover, there is nothing delicious in this nearby place at night.

Takeaway...

It takes a long time to deliver it to you every time, and sometimes it gets cold.

...

evening.

Cui Geng had a meal with his neighbor's sister.

“Auntie has such a good craft.”

Su Xi was eating the dishes while praising her.

Much better than takeaway.

"It's okay."

Cui Geng said casually.

He had no appetite, but looking at the beautiful and delicious lady across the street, he could still eat something.

"You said before, live alone in the future?"

Su Xi began to take the initiative to find topics: "Will the aunt come here in the future?"

"I was hit so hard this time. I don't think I'll come over if I have nothing to do in the future."

Cui Geng sighed.

"Being hit?"
