five years later

An Yuan was quite embarrassed on the way home from get off work. After all, it was hard not to look curiously at a big man holding a rose in his arms.

When he arrived home safely, he suddenly found Lu Siqi standing at the door with a cigarette in his hand.

"Why are you here?" An Yuan walked over to open the door, "Who told you I live here?"

Lu Siqi didn't say a word, he stepped aside with a desolate expression, and the ashes fell all over the floor.

"Come in, but I don't like the smell of smoke, you put out the smoke." An Yuan took out his shoes and put them in front of him, and turned on the light by the way.

Lu Siqi obediently put out the cigarette on the wall, and the still burning tobacco left a black wound on the white wall.

An Yuan closed the door, put the bag on the shoe cabinet casually, and found a previously used glass bottle from the kitchen.After unpacking, put the flowers in.

"You need to put some water." Lu Siqi watched An Yuan bring out the flowers, and reminded him expressionlessly.

An Yuan shrugged his shoulders, returned to the kitchen and filled some water into the glass bottle.

After tidying up the roses, the two sat down on the sofa, and An Yuan poured Lu Siqi a cup of hot milk.

"I don't drink this." That said, but in a room without air conditioning, hot milk is as effective as warming a baby.With disgust on his lips, Lu Siqi drank half a cup in a short while.

An Yuan didn't argue with him, but just asked: "Have you eaten yet? Liu Youxia won't be back until later, and there is only a little leftover food from yesterday at home."

Lu Siqi frowned, and thought for a while before making up his mind to understand the people's sentiments.

"I haven't eaten yet, can you cook? Or are you planning to let me eat the leftovers from yesterday?"

An Yuan originally wanted to order takeaway, but after hearing Lu Siqi's words, he changed his mind and decided to warm up the leftover food from yesterday.

"Well, otherwise it would be too wasteful."

An Yuan knows how to cook, but after being pampered by Liu Youxia for so long, his cooking skills have become quite unfamiliar.What's more, his level was originally the kind that was fancy but not useful, barely making ends meet.

There were still a few dishes left yesterday, and An Yuan couldn't take them by himself, so he asked Lu Siqi to come over to help.

There is also beer in the lower shelf of the refrigerator.Lu Siqi saw it and clamored for a bottle.

An Yuan firmly refused. "No, you can only drink yogurt."

Lu Siqi quit, "Then I'll go out and buy it myself."

"If you dare to go out to buy wine, don't even think about coming in. I don't welcome minors to drink here." An Yuan said as he entered the kitchen, put the bowl on the counter and prepared to wash the pot.

"Why are you acting like an old pedant, my parents didn't even say that I'm not allowed to drink!" Lu Siqi also entered the kitchen with his mouth curled up, but the expression on his face was very stinky.

"I'm not your parents, you have to abide by the rules here in my house." Before washing the pot, An Yuan glanced at yesterday's leftovers, thinking that it might not be enough, so he prepared to cook some rice first.

"Not only are you not allowed to drink, but I also hate people smoking, and I don't like to make a scene, and you are not allowed to enter the bedroom and study without my consent." He turned his head and glanced at the impatient Lu Siqi, emphasizing again: " This is my rule, if you can't bear it, the gate is in front, so you don't have to leave."

An Yuan was so angry that Lu Siqi wanted to smash the bowl in his hand, but after taking a few deep breaths, he still controlled his temper.

"If you don't drink, don't drink. How can there be so much nonsense. Hurry up and cook, I'm going to starve to death."

An Yuan looked at him amusedly, and raised his eyebrows, "Then you come here to wash the rice, I'm cooking."

As a person who has never eaten pork or seen pigs running, if Lu Siqi can wash rice, it will really break through a new era.

"Are you sure this rice is enough for the two of us?" He looked at the measuring cup in his hand, and looked at An Yuan with a highly suspicious look.

"That's enough. Usually, Liu Youxia and I eat just that. Don't tell me you eat more than him?"

Lu Siqi still had some disbelief, especially after he poured the rice into the pot, his distrust was magnified.The rice in the pot looked like a thin layer, and it didn't look like a meal for two big men.So when An Yuan wasn't paying attention, Lu Siqi added another half cup to it.

"Then what to do?"

An Yuan felt a little helpless, thinking that children from wealthy families were different.

"Put water in, not too much, and then scrub the rice a little bit."

Lu Siqi's movements are very unskilled, but labor makes people happy. When washing rice, there is excitement in his eyes, and the expression on his face softens.

"It turns out that the rice still needs to be washed. I thought it would be fine to just put it in the pot and cook it."

An Yuan smiled and replied, "There is rice that doesn't need to be washed. But I like to wash it before cooking, so I don't want to waste money on buying that kind of rice."

"Should I put some water in it and boil it?" Lu Siqi asked An Yuan after he had had enough fun, and he had already wasted a few dollars on the water bill.

"It's amazing that you still know how to add water to it. I thought you could only eat." An Yuan leaned to one side and teased him, but spoke again before Lu Siqi could refute. "Let the rice be spread evenly in the pot, and then add water to it, almost," An Yuan compared to the height of his index finger.

"Don't put too much water, or the rice will be too soft and unpalatable."

Lu Siqi is a very serious person, otherwise he wouldn't like Liu Yumin.Of course, at this moment, his seriousness in cooking is also very frustrating.

For the steps of An Yuan's teaching, Lu Siqi is very academic and close to perfection, except for the uncontrollable event that the rice will be washed away when the water falls into the pot.

Fortunately, Liu Youxia's cooking skills made the taste of these foods last.After the leftovers are reheated, they can still whet the appetite, especially for two people who are famished.

After the pot gave a "ding" to indicate that the rice was ready, Lu Siqi couldn't wait to rush into the kitchen to boil the pot, to welcome the first pot of rice cooked by himself in his life.

Lu Siqi was stunned when he saw the half pot of rice, and An Yuan looked at him funny.

"It is said that the rice is enough for the two of us. The young people are not good at this, and they are stubborn. This is good, but I don't like to waste. If you can't finish the leftover rice, you are welcome tomorrow Come again."

However, when Lu Siqi ate the first bowl, he didn't think it was a big deal. Maybe it was because the rice he cooked had a filter effect, and he thought it was delicious.In addition, those few dishes were necessary for dinner, and after being heated, they became a little salty, and Lu Siqi ate the second bowl even after three times.

An Yuan couldn't stand it any longer, "There's still some in the pot, eat it slowly."

Lu Siqi put down the bowl to look at him, and said something wrong. "I was quite uncomfortable at first, but now I feel less sad after eating."

An Yuan knew what he was talking about, thought for a while and finally said: "The working people are the most glorious. You should study hard and strive to make great contributions to our proletarian workers and peasants when you grow up."

Lu Siqi rolled his eyes and continued to eat in silence.

At the end of this meal, there was still half a bowl left.An Yuan packed it in a food box, and washed the dishes before coming out.He put the food box on the coffee table, and said to Lu Siqi: "There is one more thing, when I take you back later, pour it out for the cats in the district to eat."

"Are you implying that I don't have to come over tomorrow?" Lu Siqi slumped on the sofa after eating, curling his lips.

An Yuan threw a bottle of yogurt over, "Come here if you want to, but please pray that I don't have to work overtime tomorrow. It's just that you don't have to go to class now?"

Lu Siqi seemed to be poked into laughter by this sentence, hugging the pillow and laughing non-stop.

"Please, we haven't started school yet, okay?"

An Yuan patted his forehead, only then did he realize that the students were not in the same dimension as them.

After a while, the two of them slumped on the sofa without saying a word. In the end, the sound of Lu Siqi drinking yogurt broke the silence.

"Did you see the circle of friends posted by Liu Yumin today?" An Yuan didn't want to gossip at first, but the other party came all the way here, and he couldn't bear to be a confidant brother for once.

"I see." After Lu Siqi finished speaking, he added viciously: "I also saw what you posted!"

An Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly, his eyes accidentally glanced at the vase of flowers, and then overflowed with tenderness.

"Hey, you look so disgusting." Lu Siqi was rather disgusted, and shrank to squeeze to the other side.

"You can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour." An Yuan laughed at him, but immediately put on a serious face. "But you are so outstanding and young, and there will be many people who will like you in the future."

Although his expression was miserable, Lu Siqi's tone sounded a little smug. "Of course. But in the future, many people like me now, okay?"

An Yuan looked at him, and for a moment seemed to return to the past.

Liu Youxia was also very proud when he was in college, but he didn't look so energetic.At that time, there were still many things buried in my heart. Those self-esteem that looked bright and angular was just a disguised skin.

"Do you know who the person she likes?" Lu Siqi hesitated for a long time and finally asked, but still a little unwilling, said angrily: "Could it be that Chen Jia?!"

An Yuan was pulled back to his thoughts. "It's not Chen Jia, but I haven't seen the person who delivered the flowers either."

"It's just that if you don't mind, I want to say that the two of them are actually a good match." An Yuan said to himself, "It's not easy to like someone, and it should be a good thing that Liu Yumin is willing to accept each other."

Lu Siqi was silent for a while, and then he said as if he had made an important decision: "If that person really likes her, then I also hope she can be happy."

"I may be too young for her to give her a sense of security, but you said it's not my fault, right? In fact, it's nothing if I really saw it. I'm quite happy for her. I just came here to send Just a complaint, I think you are the most suitable, so I came here," Lu Siqi took out his mobile phone and looked at it, "I have to go home, otherwise my mother will keep nagging."

An Yuan felt that the child had grown up suddenly.

After he sent Lu Siqi downstairs, he was rejected by the other party.

"Just send it here." Lu Siqi pointed to the lunch box in his hand, "Go and feed the cat, don't starve them out in the winter. I came here alone and nothing happened, so I lost it when I could go back."

An Yuan had no choice but to follow him, "Then you go back and be careful. You can come and play when you are resting in the future. Liu Youxia is not only good at cooking, but also makes all kinds of snacks and desserts."

Lu Siqi curled her lips, "Stop being embarrassing, my girlfriend will treat me like this in the future."

"Goodbye."

An Yuan waved goodbye to him, and a gust of wind blew him tightly around his cotton coat.

There are many stray cats in the community, and he occasionally brings some food over.But he doesn't come often, and these cats don't know him, and they only come out to eat after he has left.

This time An Yuan didn't leave right away, he hid aside and watched the kittens eat, and he felt relieved.Until a phone call came, which shattered their originally peaceful life.
