Chapter 286 Behind the scenes(1/4)
When Li Xuewu said that he hadn't eaten yet, Ran Qiuye wiped his tears and started working.
Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention to it at first, until Ran Qiuye took out the foreign stuff.
Li Xuewu pointed to the ornaments on the table in astonishment, raised his eyebrows and asked: "What is this?".
Ran Qiuye lowered her eyebrows and replied: "Candle~"
"..."
Li Xuewu pursed his lips and smiled silently, glanced at her and said, "I didn't know this was a candle?"
"Then what are you asking?"
Ran Qiuye still had a hint of complaint on her lips, so her words also sounded dissatisfied.
Li Xuewu never dared to offend anyone who prepared food for him, as he was afraid that the other party would add special condiments to the rice.
Only a narrow-minded person like him would think so, so Ran Qiuye didn't bother to pay attention to him.
After setting up the candlestick, I brought two plates out from the kitchen, holding two sets of knives, forks and spoons in my hands.
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows in surprise. Only when he saw this did he realize why he was lighting candles when the light above his head was working fine.
He thought he was going to play some exciting little game...
I dare you to eat Western food!
You should definitely light candles when eating Western food. The atmosphere must be full.
Just after Ran Qiuye set the tableware and poured him a glass of warm water, the person disappeared.
Li Xuewu sat on the chair and waited for a long time but no food was served. He looked around and thought that Ran Qiuye was not going to take revenge on him and was preparing to starve himself?
"waiter?"
He was deliberately joking, but when he turned around, he found Ran Qiuye slowly walking out of the kitchen as a different person.
Her hair is tied up with black silk stockings, and she has a few strands of mature charm.
Her red lips were dotted with vermilion, and the dazzling candlelight made her shy.
The white clothes are better than the snow, and the bold tailoring envelops the graceful figure.
Her eyes were soft, and the little tears turned into lovesickness.
"Click~"
He casually turned off the lights above his head, leaving only the flickering candlelight and him in the restaurant.
Ran Qiuye took the dinner plate and walked into the restaurant under Li Xuewu's strange eyes.
Even though she was a confidant, Ran Qiuye's face was still covered with red frost when she wore a strapless white dress for the first time and showed her love so boldly for the first time.
She was more delicate than flowers, and her skin was rosy. Li Xuewu unconsciously picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.
The gurgling sound of water entering the throat was so loud in the quiet night.
This was Li Xuewu's best response to her beauty, but it made Ran Qiuye blush even more.
He forced himself to go to the kitchen and bring a few meals back, pursed his lips, took a bottle of red wine from the cabinet, and said hesitantly: "This is... the leftovers~"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, looked at her embarrassment and said: "Only you know how strong she is after you have been in love, and you know how strong the wine is only after you have been drunk. If you don't give me a taste, how will I know how strong she is?"
Ran Qiuye raised her eyes and saw that Li Xuewu's eyes were soft, just like the night of the water tower accident, like lights in the dark, illuminating her frightened heart.
"Hmph~"
She hummed in embarrassment, walked to the table with a red wine glass and said, "You are such a playboy~"
"so what?"
Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to Ran Qiuye's words, knowing that she understood what he just said, and asked with a smile: "Pair radish with wine, the more you drink, the better?"
Ran Qiuye couldn't say anything better than him. She glanced at him, pointed to the dishes on the table, and said: "You blame yourself for eating leftover rice and drinking leftover wine."
Li Xuewu looked at the plates on the table, then at the opened red wine, and asked funnyly: "You left it for me?"
"No~"
Ran Qiuye's eyes were red, she felt aggrieved, but she still said stubbornly: "If you don't eat, I ate it myself."
It looked like it was really prepared yesterday. I didn’t come, so I just left it there.
Whether it's leftovers or opened wine, it's all prepared for himself after all, and Li Xuewu doesn't mind it.
She took the initiative to accept the red wine without asking her how much thought and effort she had put into preparing this.
After pouring one-fifth of each other's red wine glasses, they explained with a smile: "People can't help themselves when they are in the world."
Ran Qiuye turned away and did not look at him. Tears fell down, and the grievances that he had not finished venting when he came in came out at this moment.
There was no need for any reason, let alone any explanation from him. Whether it was because he was busy with work or because he wanted to spend time with his family, he was not hers after all.
He sniffed vigorously, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp, ignoring Li Xuewu's difficulty.
Li Xuewu did not drink the glass of wine, but picked up the bottle and continued to pour wine for her.
The two looked at each other in silence, Li Xuewu didn't want to lie to her, and she was not an innocent little girl.
After drinking three glasses in a row, Ran Qiuye put down the glass and said, "If I don't go to you, you will never come to me?"
"Do you think I'm a prude?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "If rules could hold me back, you wouldn't sit in front of me anymore."
"Then why?"
Ran Qiuye wiped away her tears, looked at Li Xuewu and asked tentatively: "It's because I didn't make your heart move, or maybe this matter is insignificant in your heart."
"They are all there~"
Li Xuewu took a sip of the red wine, and the aroma of the wine overflowed. It took too long for the wine to wake up, and the smell dissipated.
"What you are struggling with is exactly what worries me the most. I have never wanted to break into your life, let alone..."
"You've already broken in."
Ran Qiuye didn't let Li Xuewu finish what he said. His eyes were blurred by the drunkenness, and he looked at Li Xuewu and said calmly: "In my world, magic soldiers descend from the sky, and everything is mixed up."
"I'm sorry that my presence has caused trouble in your life."
Li Xuewu picked up the wine glass, clinked it with her, and said apologetically: "If you don't cherish your body in front of the bottle, your pretense of madness will inevitably turn out to be false. I once whipped a famous horse because of my drunkenness, for fear that my love would be too much for my beauty."
"When will the moon come in the blue sky? I'll stop drinking and ask."
Ran Qiuye held the wine glass, looked at Li Xuewu with tears in her eyes and said: "You cannot reach the bright moon if you climb it, but the moon travels with you."
Li Xuewu smiled bitterly, drank the wine in his glass, and added new wine to their glasses.

"I can't play if it's too elegant, so let's talk about something vulgar."
Li Xuewu picked up the knife and fork, divided the steaks on the dinner plate skillfully, and asked softly: "Don't you ever think about a normal life?"
“What’s a normal day?”
Ran Qiuye sniffed, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Like my parents? Revisiting the past where you had to hide and tuck yourself in when you wanted to eat a Western meal?"
When Li Xuewu heard what she said, he raised his eyes and wanted to understand that this set of tableware and these furnishings were the favorites of Ran's parents.
Their family is overseas Chinese, and Li Xuewu didn't know when his ancestors left, but seeing the old couple's behavior, it was obvious that they were not ordinary people.
The tableware is all made of silver, the bone plates are also very elegant, and the candlesticks are engraved with bare-butt foreign children. It is a blessing of their family that no outsiders have noticed.
Li Xuewu's red heart is not unable to accommodate these foreign things. Whether it is Western food or Chinese food, whatever can fill the stomach is a good meal.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy a little bourgeois sentiment if you have the conditions. As long as you don't steal or rob, it all depends on your ability.
Just from the fact that the Ran family returned to China to participate in construction and education, Li Xuewu didn't feel that he had lost anyone by doing this.
As for Ran Qiuye, he didn't know how to deal with it. She said that she fell from the sky from her world, and she was not an angel on the candlestick, so how could she have that ability.
If she were really a young girl with whimsical ideas, Li Xuewu would not even bother to talk to her.
But after all, she was an older girl than him, so he was relieved when she really cried and said that she was in love with her to the death.
It was this disconnection and deep love that made Li Xuewu a little unbearable.
As he said just now, there are no conditions in this world that can limit his actions.
He is the only one who adapts to the environment and takes the initiative to change his life, but he is not forced by life.
Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to the complaints in Ran Qiuye's words, and listened to her talk about all the troubles in her life, with people rolling their eyes in front of her and making comments in the back.
Ran Qiuye finally had someone to talk to, and she couldn't help but talk more.
Watching Li Xuewu take away the plate in front of him and put the cut portion on it, he couldn't help but feel heart-warming and cry.
Li Xuewu took a bite of the steak and knew it was pork. He thought this might be the best ingredient Ran Qiuye could find.
There were also cold ham and creamed eggs on the table. Li Xuewu wasn't used to eating much, so he didn't touch the knife and fork.
Completely becoming a listener, Li Xuewu sipped the mature wine while eating, and from time to time he responded and praised Ran Qiuye.
