Siheyuan: Cooking journey

After getting off the car, Ran Qiuye stepped forward.

He Yuzhu followed naturally. After a while, Ran Qiuye stopped, glanced at him, lowered his head slightly and said softly:

"My home is not far ahead."

We had agreed to just go for a stroll together, but how come we’re already home in the blink of an eye?

He Yuzhu was a little confused as he hadn't even mentioned plans for eating or watching a movie.

But Ran Qiuye was already standing at the door, and it seemed a little late to say anything now.

He hesitated for a moment, handed over the rolled-up sketch, and said, "Then I'll go back first."

Ran Qiuye took it subconsciously, and when she saw him about to leave, she quickly called out, "Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" He Yuzhu turned his head and looked at her.

"Or, shall we walk a little further?" Ran Qiuye's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head to stare at the ground, looking a little shy.

"No need, go back now."

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment and said distressedly: "I wanted to treat you to a meal and a movie, but I ended up sending you home."

"I followed you..." Ran Qiuye raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

"I thought you were going to send me back."

"I am following your steps..."

He Yuzhu blinked and became even more confused.

This should go pretty damn self-explanatory.

"It seems that we need to communicate more."

He Yuzhu suddenly realized and felt strange. Neither of them spoke, as if they were in love with the air.

As a boy, he felt that he should take the initiative.

"Then let's go to the movies together tomorrow. I'll pick you up at this bus stop."

"it is good."

Ran Qiuye smiled and nodded in agreement. Thinking back on the journey, she felt that love was truly wonderful.

"See you tomorrow. You should go back quickly before there are no buses."

"See you tomorrow."

He Yuzhu waved his hand but did not leave immediately. He wanted to watch Ran Qiuye enter the house.

Ran Qiuye pursed her lips, put her hands behind her back, and stood still, looking at him, not leaving.

This tacit understanding is really...

He Yuzhu felt awkward and didn't know what to do. He couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"You go back first. I'll watch you go in. Otherwise, you'll really miss the last bus."

"Okay." Ran Qiuye nodded hesitantly, took a few steps, then turned back and waved.

He Yuzhu also waved, and only rubbed his eyebrows after her figure disappeared around the corner.

When we just confirmed our relationship,

His heart was truly filled with joy, as if it were filled with strength.

But now, he felt a little tired.

Inexplicably, he felt more comfortable being single.

Maybe it’s because we don’t know each other well enough. If we get to know each other more, we will naturally feel comfortable getting along with each other.

He Yuzhu confirmed this idea and took a bus home.

……

At Ran's house,

Ran Qiuye's mood was like flying. He returned to the room on the second floor, opened the sketch, and liked it more and more as he looked at it.

Her heart beat fast when she thought about the usually silent man who actually cared about her.

She enjoyed the feeling of being remembered.

"Qiuye, Qiuye, come down for dinner..."

"I got it, Mom." Ran Qiuye quickly hid the sketch, touched her hot cheeks, washed her face, and then went downstairs.

……

When I got home, it was not yet completely dark.

Seeing He Yushui sitting listlessly on the steps at the door, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile.

"What's wrong? Broken heart? Dumped?"

"Whoever is heartbroken, even if I'm in love, I'm the one dumping the other person, who dares to dump me."

He Yushui rolled her eyes, buried her face in her arms, and sobbed, "I didn't get into college, and I don't want to live anymore."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu laughed even more happily.

Today is a double blessing for him, as he has confirmed his relationship.

Yu Shui failed to get into university, thus avoiding a storm.

Okay, okay, this has to be celebrated.

"Why are you crying? It's just that you didn't get into college. Let's celebrate by having a good meal today."

"I didn't get into college, but it's not like I got in."

He Yushui raised his head and said with a wronged look: "Are you really my brother? It would be fine if you didn't comfort me, but you celebrated."

"you misunderstood."

He Yuzhu corrected seriously:

"What I meant was that I wanted to comfort you and have a good meal today to soothe your wounded heart. I got excited and said something off topic. Uh, no, I'm not excited. I'm sad for you. Really, I'm so sad that I can't even eat or drink."

He Yuzhu covered his mouth with his hands and managed to hold back his laughter.

"You, you, still laughing." He Yushui pouted angrily.

"I didn't laugh. I've received professional training, and I won't laugh no matter how funny something is, unless I really can't hold it back."

He Yuzhu held back his laughter, rubbed her hair, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's no big deal, it's just that you didn't get into college, just lie down and rest where you fell."

"What nonsense you said, you just laughed at me."

He Yushui slapped his hand away in disdain, "I don't care. You laughed at me and my heart was hurt even more. You have to compensate me. I want to eat chicken, duck, fish and meat, otherwise I will stay at your door and won't leave."

He Yuzhu walked around her, opened the door, and said jokingly:

"Okay, don't get up. As your brother, I will get you a bed and quilt right away."

"I'm getting up now and I won't give you a chance."

He Yushui pouted and pulled his arm and shook it hard.

"I don't care. I want to eat. I want to eat chicken, duck, fish and meat. If you don't give it to me, I won't let go."

"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you."

He Yuzhu sighed and shook his head. As a brother, how could he not satisfy his sister's request?

ten minutes later,

He Yushui looked at the "chicken, duck, fish and meat" made of cornmeal, and his saliva couldn't help but slide from the corners of his mouth.

"..."

Who needs a brother?

The kind that gives you one for free and comes with a bag of cornmeal.
