"I'll make breakfast."
"You go back to sleep for a while."
The two spoke in unison, smiled at each other, and reached a reconciliation.
Zhang Wentao looked at Xu Hongdou who had been clinging to him all night, and looked at her temples that were falling off her clothes. He felt the reality of yesterday, and his heart was filled with joy. But this moment of joy made him feel a little unreal.
, I also felt a little uneasy in my heart.
Like, ‘I don’t deserve it’?
He returned to his room and entered the bathroom. The hot water hit his face, washing away the smell of Xu Hongdou that was left on his body last night. With such a "swishing" sound, his thoughts were very intense.
They soon fell into a quarrel, discussing the same topic endlessly.
Is he worthy of Xu Hongdou?
Thinking of the story Xu Hongdou shared with her last night, the photo wall picture came to mind. Many people appeared in her 'friends' column, including Grandma Xie, Zhiyuan Xie, Aunt Agui, and Aunt Baoping.
, Nana, Damai, the four little mythical beasts, Ma Ye, Hu Youyu, these people must have brought her happy memories after she came here.
There is also Xie Zhiyao. Among the pictures on the wall, there are many memories he brought to Xu Hongdou.
In the photo, he is just like himself, with a hearty smile that always brings joy to people. And his full ideals and dedication to his best have an indescribable charm, which is perfect.
So the only thing missing is myself, doesn’t it just mean...
Yes, I only know how to cook. I can satisfy other people’s appetites through delicacies and let them experience the beauty brought by the food itself. And how can a person like me bring joy to others?
If it hadn't been for the half pack of tissues from before, maybe there wouldn't have been such an interaction between myself and Xu Hongdou.
The more he thought about it, the more panic and uneasiness Zhang Wentao felt...
After coming to the kitchen and drinking a cup of ice-cold coffee, Zhang Wentao began to make breakfast silently. After a while, Xu Hongdou came down.
In her hand, she held the vase that was left in the rest area yesterday, filled with pink roses. Although it had been left outside all night, in the sunshine and in someone's eyes, it still looked so delicate and charming.
Passing by the kitchen window sill, I saw Zhang Wentao's listless look in the kitchen, and thought of the tiredness on his face.
Xu Hongdou came to the window with a smile and asked, "What are you going to do for me?"
"Ah, let's bake pancakes."
"Well, then I'll prepare honey and chocolate sauce."
"Do you want butter?"
Xu Hongdou thought for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Cream? There doesn't seem to be any."
Zhang Wentao looked sideways at the other party, nodded slightly and said, "What I mean is, if you want to eat it, I can make it fresh for you."
"Then forget it, it's too much trouble." Xu Hongdou thought for a while, shook his head and refused.
She remembered the first time they cooked, Zhang Wentao was making mayonnaise, holding a mixer and whipping it in the same direction. Although it was delicious, it was too hard.
After saying that, she walked in with a smile, placed the vase on the dining table, found a sprayer and sprayed some water on it.
The floral blue dress made her skin fairer. Xu Hongdou, with her long hair pinned down, looked down at each petal seriously. She didn't notice that every time she pressed the sprayer, the sunlight hit her.
It fell into the thin water and formed a faint rainbow when viewed from the kitchen.
What a nice view.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Wentao bit his lip gently, then lowered his head and started doing his own thing.
Zhang Wentao, who was forced to drink hot coffee and eat breakfast, squeezed out a smile and said goodbye to Xu Hongdou. Because he left too early yesterday, he needed to go earlier today so that Shi Tiandong could have enough time to rest in the morning.
Xu Hongdou stayed in the yard, petted Jiahui, and played with Xiao Hei with a homemade cat teaser stick.
It seems that she doesn't want much now. A dull life, a happy family, a pleasant time, and someone who loves her more are enough.
Damai, who was secretly observing the progress of their relationship at the door of his house last night, immediately came downstairs with an uneasy heart after Zhang Wentao left.
"Sister Hongdou, were you and Brother Wen Tao okay yesterday?"
"It's okay, we've already said it." Xu Hongdou raised his head with a smile, the cat tease stick dangling in his hand.
After hearing such good news, Damai took a long breath, and the expression on his face relaxed a lot. He sat next to Xu Hongdou and asked tentatively: "So, are you guys dating?"
Xu Hongdou stopped what he was doing and looked at the expectant eyes of Damai beside him. After thinking about expressing their feelings to each other, the two of them looked at each other. Although the corners of their mouths were slightly raised, they still shook their heads and said, "No, he didn't say that. I
Didn’t mention it either.”
"Ah?" Damai was a little unbelievable. The two of them hugged each other for so long under the moonlight, and even entered the house together, but nothing happened and there was no interaction:
"This...Sister Hongdou, are you too rational? This is not good. Really!"
Damai's voice was a little flustered, and he added anxiously: "You have opportunities and catalysts, and your relationship has changed. It can be like a genre in romance novels called marriage first, love later, which many readers love to read.
Very sweet.”
Xu Hongdou looked at Damai blankly: "Marriage first, love later?"
Then he said with a puff: "But Damai, I'm not ready to get married yet. What you said is too soon for me."
After the words fell, Xu Hongdou put down the cat teasing stick, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, let me give your love brain a taste of my skills."
"Oh, okay." When Damai heard that she was in love, she wrinkled her nose and shook her head. How could she be in love? She just felt that although the two of them seemed to be close in the morning, something important was missing.
How can a couple who just got together feel like they are treating each other like guests? This is so strange!
But when she followed Xu Hongdou to the restaurant, saw the vase on the dining table, and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers in the breeze, she immediately forgot what she had just thought about in her mind, and said in surprise: "Sister Hongdou, this rose
So beautiful."
"It's pink and tender, much prettier than the red roses in my house."
…
Because of the exhaustion from last night and the mood just now, Zhang Wentao was groggy and listless on the way to the restaurant even after drinking coffee.
When I got off the car, I looked at the closed door of the restaurant and raised my hand to check the time.
It's around 7:30, which is still half an hour before the earliest shift in the kitchen.
Soon, he walked to the small door at the back. This small door was open and led directly to the kitchen and warehouse. There was a slight noise in the kitchen inside the door, which made Zhang Wentao feel very satisfied.
When he walked in, Xie Liang was wearing his own clothes on the chopping board, practicing his knife skills.
Seeing Zhang Wentao suddenly walking in, he was a little nervous and quickly stopped what he was doing: "Morning...chef."
"Yeah." Zhang Wentao nodded, walked over, and after taking a casual look, asked in a very calm tone: "How much is your monthly salary?"
"Uh..." This emotionless voice made the nervous Xie Liang swallow his throat, and then shook his head: "I make 1,800 a month, which is not much."
"It's not long. Are you still wearing your own clothes? Buy new ones if they are dirty? Change your clothes and chop the parsley and basil first. What do you think of a broken potato? I use shredded potatoes for cooking? They are chopped.
You cook for yourself at noon." After saying that, Zhang Wentao turned around and walked towards the locker room.
Xie Liang: "..."
…
There are no photos of Zhang Wentao on the photo wall, only the various delicacies he cooked, as mentioned earlier.
