Siheyuan: Cooking journey

It was almost time to get off work, so I went there.

When He Yuzhu returned home, it was already past six in the evening, although it was not yet dark.

This time, in addition to preparing some simple dishes, he also made a few steamed buns.

at home,

He didn't make an appointment to meet Ran Qiuye.

It's almost time to eat.

He Yuzhu steamed some steamed corn bread and fried some cabbage.

After thinking about it, he decided to call He Yushui.

He wondered in his heart whether what he said yesterday had any impact on her.

He Yuzhu didn't ask any more questions. He gnawed on the steamed bun anxiously, muttering to himself.

What if Ran Qiuye didn’t see the note he posted and was still waiting there?

That's unlikely, the note was quite conspicuous.

But what if it gets torn apart by someone who has nothing better to do?

This possibility is not without.

If that were true, Ran Qiuye would definitely still be waiting there.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became.

He Yuzhu hesitated whether to go to the bus stop and take a look.

There was silence at the table.

He Yushui felt that she didn't know if it was her illusion, but her brother seemed to have become somewhat distant and cold.

I didn't feel this way before.

Although her brother loved to talk nonsense, he never joked with her or touched her head, let alone intimate actions like tapping her forehead.

These behaviors have made her feel familiar recently and she has gradually gotten used to them.

But now, all of this suddenly disappeared. My brother didn't say anything and seemed very cold.

This change made her feel uncomfortable.

"Brother, why are you off work so late today?"

He Yushui wanted to find a topic to talk about and glanced at him secretly.

"Aren't you going to see a movie with your girlfriend? I heard from my classmates that the recently released movie "Liu Erjie" is quite good. You can consider watching it."

He Yuzhu ignored him.

He felt like he was always wondering whether the door was locked after he went out.

I'm worried, but I also want to confirm it.

That's it,

There's no point in thinking about it at home, I'd better go to the bus stop and check it out to feel at ease.

He Yuzhu sighed, got up and pushed the cart out.

Seeing him leave, He Yushui frowned and felt very upset.

He didn't say anything, why ignore me?

……

He pedaled quickly all the way to the bus stop and saw the familiar figure at a glance.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but slap his forehead, regretting that he didn't come over to confirm earlier.

Who tore off the paper?

Confused, He Yuzhu looked at the bus stop sign. From his angle, he could clearly see a piece of paper stuck on it.

So she didn’t see it!

Is it myopia?

Thinking of this possibility, He Yuzhu felt mixed emotions. He had planned so much, but he had missed this opportunity.

But no matter what, she has waited for so long.

He Yuzhu didn't want her to know that she had waited for so long in vain because she didn't see the note. She would definitely feel very sad.

Next to the bus stop, Ran Qiuye was looking down, as if looking at something.

He Yuzhu looked at her, parked the car, walked over, tore off the note, and called softly:

"Ran Qiuye..."

"what……"

Ran Qiuye turned back subconsciously.

Seeing him beside her, she was pleasantly surprised, a sweet smile bloomed on her fair face, and she said sweetly:

"You came."

"I'm sorry, something delayed me and I'm late."

He Yuzhu's face was full of apology.

He was really sorry and shouldn't have broken the appointment.

He should have come to see her immediately when he came back, so that she wouldn't have been kept waiting so long in vain.

"Why are you apologizing?"

Ran Qiuye was puzzled, glanced at the station sign, and asked curiously: "Who tore the note..."

“……”He Yuzhu was stunned.

"It can't be you."

Ran Qiuye blinked and smiled like a flower.

"Did you see the note?"

He Yuzhu was puzzled and couldn't figure it out, "Since you saw it, why are you still waiting here?"

"I do not know either."

Ran Qiuye shook her head and said playfully, "I felt a little bored at home, so I started to wonder why you couldn't come? Is there something going on? Will you come over after you're done? Then I walked here unknowingly;

“I originally told myself, I’ll just wait here for ten minutes, and if you don’t come, I’ll go back;

"But I don't know what happened. When the ten minutes were up, I gave myself another ten minutes, and it has been going on until now."

He Yuzhu's heart inexplicably beat faster. He took a step forward, held her hand, and inexplicably wanted to hold her in his arms.

"how about you?"

Ran Qiuye blushed, lowered her head, and asked softly:

"You've already left a note, why did you come over?"

"I was worried. I was worried that the note was torn up by someone else. I was worried that you didn't see it. I was worried that you would wait here all the time."

He Yuzhu looked at her quietly and rubbed her hand gently, feeling distressed and helpless.

"Why are you so stupid? Why are you waiting here? What if I don't come?"

"I don't know. I might feel a little disappointed, but if you really don't come, I think I will be even more disappointed."

Ran Qiuye shook her head shyly, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

If you don't come, I will never wait for you again.

"..."

He Yuzhu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

I really want to hug her, but I'm afraid of scaring her. The only thing I can do is look at her.

Looking at her fluttering eyelashes and her blushing cheeks, as I looked at her, she was all I could think of in my heart and eyes.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

It also seems like a long time has passed.

Ran Qiuye was shy, but raised her head generously.

"Are we just going to stand here? I should almost go home."

"I send you."

As soon as he said this, He Yuzhu wanted to slap his forehead, thinking that this shouldn't have been said.

"Okay."

Ran Qiuye smiled sweetly, took his hand, walked to the bicycle, and said mischievously:

"You give me a ride."

……

The intersection of my home is very close to the bus stop.

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle very slowly, but still got close soon.

He was wondering whether to ride straight over and then ride back slowly.

Suddenly, he felt the same feeling as he had yesterday when he suddenly braked.

My heart inexplicably soared at this moment.

The bicycle seemed to be faster than the wind, going in the opposite direction of home.
