Walk all the way

People will implicate the invisible magical substance between people called fate.

In mid-to-late January, all major colleges and universities have started their winter vacation one after another.

The sweet guozhen brewed in hot water is warm and can supplement vitamins in winter.

Zhou Ruoqing blew on the slightly hot juice, took a sip, and put down the glass: "I'm going on a blind date next week."

"...cough cough cough..." Jiang Chuanxu, who was drinking water, choked on this sentence.

Fortunately, Zhou Tianyi didn't move the water glass in front of him, but he showed an expression of disbelief.

"Why such a big reaction?" Zhou Ruoqing, the client, was very calm, "Didn't you also tell me to find a boyfriend as soon as possible?"

"...I said it," Jiang Chuanxu smiled, "but I didn't expect you to go on a blind date, and..." Jiang Chuanxu didn't turn his head to look at Zhou Tianyi, "Your brother is also teasing you when he said that. If he really wants to have a boyfriend, he probably won't be able to bear it."

"..." Zhou Tian also looked helplessly at Jiang Chuanxu, as if blaming him for telling the truth in his heart, but he was reluctant.He lowered his eyes and drank water.

Zhou Ruoqing supported her head with one hand: "I know. The point is what I'm going to say next. Do you know who the other party is?"

The two shook their heads.

Zhou Ruoqing took out her phone, opened the photo album, clicked on the latest saved picture, and showed it to Jiang Chuanxu and Zhou Tianyi.

"Isn't this... Peitong's cousin? If I remember correctly, his name is Lu Peiheng..." Jiang Chuanxu was very surprised.

Zhou Tian also looked even more gloomy.

"It's him." Zhou Ruoqing still looked calm, "Guess again, how did you introduce him?"

"Anyway, Pei Tong wouldn't have introduced it..." Jiang Chuanxu smiled faintly.

"Hey——" Zhou Ruoqing deliberately paused, which inevitably made Jiang Chuanxu doubt her thoughts. "It's really not what Peitong introduced..."

Jiang Chuanxu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Can you finish talking at once?" Zhou Tian also asked.

"Okay, okay," Zhou Ruoqing saw that Zhou Tian was also in a bad mood and had a tendency to continue to deepen, so she didn't hold back, "The blind date is what my parents mean. Although I said that I didn't want to get married when I was studying, they said that we can go on a date first." Talking about a boyfriend, after graduation, the marriageable age is also appropriate. And as for why the man is Pei Tong’s cousin, it is said that he is the son of a friend of my father’s colleague.”

"Uncle...colleague...friend..." Jiang Chuan thought about the relationship, "It's really a long way around."

"It is said that he is 25 and a half years old, graduated from a graduate school, and is now a counselor in an ordinary college."

"Do Mom and Dad know that you know him?" Zhou Tian also asked.

"Of course I don't know, I won't say it. The school he is in said that the holiday will be next week, so the meeting time is set for next week."

"To be honest, although I'm surprised that the other party is Peitong's cousin, what surprised me the most is that you would agree to go on a blind date..." Jiang Chuanxu said.

"I agreed to go because I still know someone. Otherwise, blind date? It doesn't exist." Zhou Ruoqing shook her head, picked up the glass and took a sip of the juice, which was no longer hot. "My parents gave me some money and asked me to buy some clothes. Brother Chuanxu, can you accompany me?"

"Me?" Jiang Chuanxu was a little surprised, "I haven't studied women's clothing for many years."

"But the foundation must be there."

"..." Jiang Chuanxu hesitated.When I did a lot of research on women's clothing, it was during my college years, and it was also the time when men dressed as women more. After I left the campus, I didn't do any research if I didn't dress up.Moreover, fashion trends are always changing. Jiang Chuanxu is not very clear about what is the most popular nowadays.

"Brother Chuan Xu, come with me. I've always liked your aesthetic sister." Zhou Ruoqing put down her cup, put her hands together, and stared at Jiang Chuanxu with big eyes pleadingly.

"This..." Jiang Chuanxu looked at Zhou Tianyi who was beside him.

Zhou Tian also nodded: "You can go with Ruoqing, I can be alone in the store."

"That's good..." Jiang Chuanxu agreed, "When will I go?"

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Let's have lunch today."

"Row."

Zhou Tian also looked at the time: "It's eleven o'clock soon, I'm going to cook." He got up and went to the kitchen.

"I'll help you." Jiang Chuanxu followed immediately.

Zhou Ruoqing watched the two go to the back of the store, and smiled helplessly, knowing that she had to help the two brothers look around the store for a while.

Touching the little soft cat lying on her lap, Zhou Ruoqing smiled tenderly and contentedly: "It's so cute..." Since entering the store, she has said "cute" so many times.

Sitting opposite Lu Peiheng saw Zhou Ruoqing very happy, and couldn't help but smile. Even though he was wearing glasses, he could still feel a sunny aura on him.

"No wonder you asked me if I like cats," Zhou Ruoqing said with a smile, "This is the first time I've come to a cat cafe."

Lu Peiheng explained: "It's cold, it's not suitable to make an appointment outside, and ordinary restaurants are nothing new." She smiled, "It's just as long as you like it here."

"I like it very much!" Zhou Ruoqing blurted out without thinking.

As soon as these words came out, both of them couldn't help being stunned.

Zhou Ruoqing lowered her head, and pressed her sideburn hair behind her ears: "Sorry, I'm a little excited."

"It's all right." Lu Peiheng said hastily.

No one spoke again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.But it's also expected, two people who don't know each other sitting together, don't know what to say, how can it not be embarrassing.

Lu Peiheng first broke the silence: "When I'm stressed or unhappy, I'll come here to sit for a while, looking at these cute cats, my mood will be healed." In the slightly smiling eyes, there is tenderness and a hint of sadness .

Zhou Ruoqing suddenly felt less disgusted with this blind date.

"You will come here, which means that you don't have any pets at home. If you like it so much, why don't you raise one yourself?"

"I don't have my own independent family yet, my mother doesn't allow it, it's too dirty." Lu Peiheng smiled helplessly.

"It seems that everyone's mother is the same. Apart from this reason, she also said, 'I'm tired of serving you every day, why do you want me to serve animals?'" Zhou Ruoqing imitated her mother's tone when speaking.

"Yes!" Lu Peiheng nodded with a smile.

"Meow~" The cat in Zhou Ruoqing's arms suddenly called out at this moment, and it seemed that it also agreed with Zhou Ruoqing's words.

Both of them couldn't help being amused by the cat.

Picking up the coffee in front of him, Lu Peiheng took a sip, then put it down again, it was still a little hot.Pushing the glasses: "May I ask, why did you come on a blind date? I don't think you are someone who no one is chasing. After all, you are so beautiful."

Zhou Ruoqing smiled politely: "Thank you for the compliment. It's true that someone is pursuing me, but there is no rule that I must agree, right?"

"Well... that's right..." Lu Peiheng smiled sheepishly.

"What about you?"

"Me?" Lu Peiheng was stunned, "I had a girlfriend in college, but we broke up after graduation. She is an only daughter, and she is not from the local area. Her family is too far away, so I don't agree."

"So..." Zhou Ruoqing has seen a lot of things like breaking up right after graduation because the two parties live in different cities.I remember when I graduated, there were couples quarreling every day in the small square downstairs of the dormitory, and they always walked around when passing by.

"Are you going on a blind date to get married?" Zhou Ruoqing asked.

Lu Peiheng shook his head: "I don't want to get married at the moment. A blind date is what the family means. You should be too. After all, you are still studying. I feel that your family is more anxious than mine."

Zhou Ruoqing knew that Lu Peiheng was telling the truth: "That's right, so..." Zhou Ruoqing raised the corners of her lips, and a cunning flashed in her eyes, "Why don't we act together?"

"Huh?" Lu Peiheng tilted his head, expressing his confusion.

Zhou Ruoqing continued: "After we go back, you and I will tell our family members that we feel that the other party is not bad, and we plan to get to know each other better, so that the family will not continue to arrange blind dates. Then we can arrange some progress to tell our parents, and they will I will feel more at ease. If anyone really meets someone they like, it happens that everyone is happy."

"I think it's okay." Lu Peiheng agreed with this idea.

"That's it, I hope we can cooperate happily."

"Pleasant to work with."

While satisfied with this idea, neither of them thought of an obvious flaw in this idea. If after a few years, there is still no one they like, and the family is urging marriage, what should they do?You can fake love, but you can't fake marriage, right?

"Meow—" The lying cat got up, jumped off Zhou Ruoqing's lap, walked slowly to the cat's nest in the corner, crawled into the nest, yawned leisurely, and pushed its small head towards its body Buried in the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Looks like I'm tired." Lu Peiheng smiled lightly.

"Hmm..." Zhou Ruoqing looked away from the cat with some reluctance, stirred her own coffee on the table in front of her, picked it up and took a sip, it was bitter but very mellow, "It tastes good."

"Try this." Lu Peiheng pushed the cake that was originally placed in the middle of the table to Lu Peitong.

"Thank you." Zhou Ruoqing dug out a small piece of the cake with a fork, and carefully put it into her mouth. After all, you should pay attention to your image on a blind date.At the entrance of the cake, the soft, glutinous and smooth taste is sweet but not greasy, and the indescribable special taste made Zhou Ruoqing's eyes shine: "This is delicious!"

"This store's classic desserts, eat more if you think it tastes good."

"Yeah!" Zhou Ruoqing couldn't wait to take another bite, but she lost the cautious image just now, a little cream was stained on her lower lip, Zhou Ruoqing felt it, and quickly pursed her lips.Suddenly thought of something, put down the fork in his hand, crossed his hands on his lap: "Well, can I order another take away?"

"Of course." Lu Peiheng smiled, "But as a friendly reminder, it's best not to leave it overnight, as the taste will be compromised."

"Not overnight, I bought it for brother Chuan Xu, he is a sweet tooth."

"Chuan Xu..." Lu Peiheng was thoughtful, "I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."

Zhou Ruoqing couldn't help being taken aback, and said slowly, "Don't you remember? We met before..."

"Ah!?" Lu Peiheng was very surprised, "When?"

Seeing the incredible expression on Lu Peiheng's face, Zhou Ruoqing felt powerless and speechless, but she still kept smiling: "The first time was last summer, in the swimming pool, I helped you pick up Water polo, but at that time I didn’t know that you were Tongtong’s cousin. The second time was summer, at the end of the summer vacation, you went to the store to pick up Tongtong from work, and I was there at the time.”

"Oh!" Lu Peiheng suddenly realized, "You are the senior who introduced Xiaotong to a part-time job during summer vacation, right?"

"Well, it's me..." Zhou Ruoqing smiled awkwardly, but for some reason there was a trace of loss in her heart, but more of it was injustice—I remember you, but you don't remember me?

"I'm really sorry," Lu Peiheng apologized, "I have an impression of you at the swimming pool, but I'm short-sighted and don't wear glasses, so I didn't see you clearly. When I picked up Xiaotong, I really didn't notice you... "

"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Zhou Ruoqing said politely with a smile, but actually poked a piece of cake in front of her and took a bite.

"This world is really small." Lu Peiheng sighed.

"Have you ever heard of the 'seven people' theory?" Zhou Ruoqing asked as she put down her fork.

Lu Peiheng shook his head: "No."

"Then let me give you some science." Zhou Ruoqing put her hands crossed on the edge of the table, "This theory says that you can meet anyone in the world through at most seven people; You can get to know him personally. Take the two of us as an example, I can meet you through Tongtong, and I passed one person in the middle; I also went on a blind date with you through my father’s colleague’s friend, and I passed three people in the middle.”

"I have increased my knowledge." Lu Peiheng nodded.But Zhou Ruoqing could see that Lu Peiheng's attitude was noncommittal.

Lu Peitong got up: "I'll go order a cake for you."

"I'll go by myself..."

"I have a membership card here," Lu Peiheng interrupted Zhou Ruoqing, "it will be cheaper."

"...Then I'll transfer the money to you."

"It's not much money, no need..."

"Don't!" Zhou Ruoqing was firm, "If I want to eat it myself, you can buy it, but it's for my brother, so I shouldn't ask you to pay for it."

Lu Peiheng froze for a moment, then nodded and went to the ordering counter.

After a while, Lu Peiheng returned to his seat, and there were two wrapped cakes in a translucent bag.

Zhou Ruoqing looked at Lu Peiheng suspiciously.

Lu Peiheng explained: "One was given to your brother by you, and the other was given to the boss by me."

Zhou Ruoqing was taken aback for a moment: "This...will be endless..."

"Aren't there two owners in the hotel? One for each person is fine."

"Then...thank you..." Zhou Ruoqing could only bite the bullet and accept it.In fact, why did she only think about Jiang Chuanxu and not her own brother?It's just because Jiang Chuanxu likes to eat sweets, and Zhou Tianyi's attitude towards sweets is so-so, and he doesn't know how to eat them under normal circumstances, so he only brought one for Jiang Chuanxu.Now that these two cakes are brought back, Zhou Ruoqing can already imagine the result. Jiang Chuanxu will definitely finish the two and have no stomach for dinner, and Zhou Tianyi will definitely pamper and follow Jiang Chuanxu to let him eat while complaining about himself Bringing back so much made Jiang Chuan unable to eat properly.

Zhou Ruoqing felt a dull pain in her head.

"Which one of the bosses is your brother?"

Lu Peiheng's words brought Zhou Ruoqing back from her own thoughts: "Brother? The tall one."

"...I don't remember who is taller..."

"...The handsome one is not my brother, but he has the same status as my brother in my heart."

"Who is the 'Chuanxu' you mentioned just now?"

"Jiang Chuanxu, my brother's name is Zhou Tianyi."

Lu Peiheng thought about it in his mind, and nodded: "Yes, I figured it out. I think the name 'Chuanxu' is very unique. Is it the source of 'Yichuan Tobacco, the city is full of wind, plums and yellow rain'?"

"Yes." Zhou Ruoqing said while eating the cake, she wanted to go back quickly, but she couldn't waste the food, she had to finish it.

"The name is really nice, but why did you use this word?"

"Any questions?"

"Because this word is used to describe melancholy, 'If you ask me how much melancholy there is? Yichuan Tobacco, the city is full of wind and rain, and plums are yellow and rainy.' It’s too sad, beautiful but not very good."

"It's nothing." Zhou Ruoqing didn't agree with Lu Peiheng, "My brother and I's name comes from "If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old". , but am I still living happily?"

"Your name is 'qing' next to vertical heart?"

"It's sunny on a sunny day, I just used the same pronunciation." Zhou Ruoqing finished eating the cake and wiped her mouth with a tissue, "It's over, thank you for the hospitality. It's getting late, I want to go back."

"Don't you want to have dinner together?" Lu Peiheng took the initiative to invite, and of course he was polite as a matter of course.

"No," Zhou Ruoqing patted the bag lightly, "I'm going to give this to my brothers."

"Then I'll take it to you."

"...Okay." Zhou Ruoqing did not refuse this time.

Pushing open the door and coming out of the cafe, the restless wind blew Zhou Ruoqing's long hair in the shawl, covering her sight.Wait for the wind to pass and push your hair behind your ears.The gloomy sky was gray, but a very small and light white figure danced and danced in the bitter air, although it was very small.

"It's snowing..."

(Written 22 extra episode)

Jiang Chuanxu leaned on the counter with his arms on his pillow and looked sideways at Zhou Tianyi who was sitting beside him, with a silly smile on his face.

Since he could feel the gaze from his side, Zhou Tianyi couldn't ignore it in the end. He sighed lightly, put down the pen in his hand, turned sideways, and patted Jiang Chuanxu's head: "Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Chuanxu shook his head: "No, I just want to watch you."

Zhou Tian also pinched Jiang Chuanxu's face: "It's been so many years, why can't you get fat? You're still so thin."

"No, it's obviously heavier than before." Jiang Chuanxu pouted.

"Yes, eight years after graduation, I have gained eight catties, which is invisible to the naked eye..."

"That's fatter than before."

Zhou Tian also leaned into Jiang Chuanxu's ear and said softly, "I've held you for so many years, but I really don't feel how fat you are."

Jiang Chuanxu pushed Zhou Tianyi away with a blushing face: "Don't drive in broad daylight..."

Looking at the shy Jiang Chuanxu, Zhou Tian also wanted to overwhelm him, but rationally told him that the time and place were inappropriate, so he silently swallowed and held back.

"I'm going to make dinner, what would you like to eat?"

Zhou Tianyi had just finished asking, and before Jiang Chuanxu could answer, the bell on the hotel door rang hurriedly, and Zhou Ruoqing walked in hurriedly.

"Brother Chuanxu, I brought you something good!" Zhou Ruoqing took the cake out of the bag when she came to the counter, opened the package, and the sweet smell came over her face.

"This..." Jiang Chuanxu's eyes sparkled, and he licked his lower lip silently, "It looks delicious."

"It's delicious, try it." He said and stuffed the delivery fork into Jiang Chuanxu's hand.

Jiang Chuanxu, who likes sweets, couldn't wait to take a sip. Sure enough, the unique taste greatly satisfied the taste buds. "Where did you buy it?" asked while taking a second bite.

"I met with Lu Peiheng today, and we went to a cafe he often goes to. I ate this and thought it was delicious, so I brought you a copy." Zhou Ruoqing took the other out of the bag and put it in the In front of Zhou Tianyi, "This one is for you."

Zhou Tian also looked at the cake in front of him, and then at Jiang Chuanxu who was eating happily, "Give it to Xu." He pushed the cake towards Jiang Chuanxu.

"Lu Peiheng said that the taste of this cake will be reduced if left overnight. No matter who eats it, just remember to finish it today."

"This is really delicious, try it." Jiang Chuanxu brought a piece of cake to Zhou Tianyi's mouth.

Seeing Jiang Chuanxu's happy smiling face, Zhou Tian couldn't bear to refuse, so he opened his mouth to eat and tasted the taste: "Well, it's really delicious. What do you want to eat tonight? Although there is cake, you still have to eat it for dinner .”

"It will be all right."

"whatever."

"..." Zhou Tian didn't say anything else, and turned to the kitchen to cook.

Zhou Tian also cooked rice soup. After the fire was boiled, the fire was simmered slowly. You don’t need to look at the pot when you use the induction cooker to set a time. You can cook while the rice is cooking.Zhou Tianyi actually didn't know what to fry, so he thought for a while in front of the refrigerator, took out a few potatoes, and started frying shredded potatoes.I don't plan to make more, this one dish is enough, not to mention Jiang Chuanxu and Zhou Ruoqing won't be too hungry.

Wash the potatoes, peel the potatoes, cut the potatoes into shreds, and pass the water on one side. After it is done, the rice will have to cook for a while. Zhou Tian also plans to wait a while before cooking. It is cold when eaten.

Zhou Tian was also going to see what Jiang Chuanxu and Zhou Ruoqing were doing, but Jiang Chuanxu came to the kitchen.

As soon as he saw Zhou Tianyi, Jiang Chuanxu threw himself into his arms and hugged him, rubbing and rubbing.Zhou Tian was also a little confused about the situation: "What's wrong...?"

Jiang Chuanxu buried his head in Zhou Tianyi's chest without looking up: "The cake I ate... seems to contain alcohol... a little...you know..."

"Hey, look up."

Jiang Chuanxu raised his head obediently, his face was already pink, and he couldn't help but want someone to take a bite and see what it tasted like.Zhou Tian also felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up - after all these years, you can still make my heart beat like this.

Without further ado, he dragged Jiang Chuanxu to the bedroom.

Lock the door.

……

Zhou Ruoqing who had dinner alone was a little depressed.

"Are there any special ingredients in that cake?" Zhou Ruoqing called Lu Peiheng.

"Special ingredients?" Lu Peiheng thought for a while, "Hmm... I don't know, I didn't make it after all."

"Okay..." Zhou Ruoqing also expected this answer.

"By the way, there is rum, is this a special ingredient?"

"Okay, I see, thank you." Knowing the reason, Zhou Ruoqing hung up the phone.Xindao, my "sister-in-law" who can't drink high alcohol is really cute. For Jiang Chuanxu, alcohol is a small drink to aphrodisiac, and heavy drink to lower blood sugar...

Lu Peiheng on the other side of the phone looked confused.
