leisurely

"What? I've been waiting for you here for an hour, and now you tell me you can't come?" Gu Jianan's voice was very angry and loud, and he paced around in circles.I heard the person on the phone say helplessly Mr. Gu, didn't I already call you just now?Gu Jianan walked towards Meng Xincheng, and continued to yell regardless: "Why are you like this, it's not a business if your house leaks? Please, please, I'm unlucky enough to find you."

Regardless of his demeanor, let's get attention first... Gu Jianan put down his phone, looked around in a daze, dejected.

"what happened to you?"

Gu Jianan sighed in his heart how nice his voice was, then raised his head in surprise: "Meng Xincheng! What a coincidence."

"Well, do you need my help?"

"It's okay, no need." Without saying too much, he directly offered to help, making Gu Jianan, who just wanted to attract his attention, feel a little embarrassed.

"I heard you calling. It just so happens that my house is being renovated. I can ask someone to take a look at it for you."

Gu Jianan was still fiddling, Meng Xincheng had already taken his mobile phone to call the design company to send a plumber, and asked him for the address.Gu Jianan had almost no ability to resist. After a while, he was already in Meng Xincheng's car on the way to the Yaju of the Academy.

Probably for the convenience of traveling, Meng Xincheng didn't drive the eye-catching sports car yesterday. This black car is much more low-key, and it suits him better.

The people Meng Xincheng recruited were nimble, and within an hour they repaired the water pipes and repaired the knocked-off ceiling.I even helped the people sent by the wallpaper company to paste the wallpaper together.What Gu Jianan was still worrying about in the morning was resolved within a few hours.The uncle expressed his satisfaction and repeatedly praised the young man for his quick work.

In fact, she didn't do anything at all, Gu Jianan felt a little embarrassed.The two stepped out of the unit door. He watched Meng Xincheng walk towards the car, and hurried to catch up.

"Thank you so much today. I'll treat you to dinner." Gu Jianan can see anywhere in Meng Xincheng, such a perfect person must be caught immediately!

He watched Meng Xincheng stand still and turn around. When his lips opened, he was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe. He was afraid that he would say the euphemistic refusal like last time and not give himself a chance.

"I don't really like eating out."

Fortunately, although it was not a straightforward agreement, it was not without room for change.Gu Jianan just happened to have cooking skills, which made his eyes shine, and somehow felt that he was going to achieve the important goal of "catching his stomach" tonight.

"Go to my house, I'll cook for you."

Who can resist the appearance of a good-looking person fawning on you like a puppy, just those watery eyes looking at you full of hope can make people fall into the deep pool.So indifferent as Meng Xincheng can't help nodding reflexively.

"what dishes do you like to eat?"

"Do what you're good at."

"Row!"

They went to the supermarket to buy a fish on the way. The reason why they went to the supermarket instead of the vegetable market that Gu Jianan always patronized was because he felt that the fresh food section of the vegetable market was incompatible with Meng Xincheng.He was also afraid that the mess there would deduct points from Meng Xincheng's impression of him. He absolutely didn't want this kind of thing to happen!When Meng Xincheng became one of his own, it would not be too late to expose the trivial aspects of life.

After arriving at the underground parking lot and parking the car, Gu Jianan first got off the station and waited at the front of the car. After Meng Xincheng got off the car, he walked around to the trunk and took out a suitcase that looked like a toolbox.Gu Jianan didn't know what it was, and Meng Xincheng didn't tell him, so he didn't ask.The two entered the elevator and went upstairs one by one.

When the door was opened, a gust of breeze came in. Gu Jianan's house was clean and comfortable. The lake blue fabric sofa, white coffee table, and royal blue TV cabinet were refreshing.Meng Xincheng stood still at the porch, watching the light blue curtains stirred by the breeze, the rocking chair on the balcony swayed slightly due to the floating of the curtains, and a glass bottle with two mouthpieces was placed on the white Lark table next to the rocking chair, with two Lisianthus flowers.There is also a book on the edge of the table, and a corner of the book sticks out, as if the owner of the book put it down just a moment ago.

Meng Xincheng recognized which book it was at a glance.

Gu Jianan put the things into the kitchen, cut up the mango and dragon fruit that he bought just now, and put them on the plate. When he came out, he saw Meng Xincheng was still standing there, his body was as straight as a steel plate, and he still had no unnecessary expression, but he was hanging on his arms. The hands on both sides of the legs were clenched into fists.

He suddenly felt that he was being neglected, and he didn't know if he was invited to sit down because he was busy cutting fruit just now.Gu Jianan took two steps forward and freed a hand to grab Meng Xincheng's left arm, and couldn't help but pause, the hand felt stiff and even cold.Gu Jianan turned his head and saw the window was wide open, maybe the temperature had dropped, but he himself didn't feel the cold.He dragged people into the house: "Go and sit on the sofa, you don't need to change your shoes."

Pulling Meng Xincheng to sit on the sofa, Gu Jianan put the fruit plate on the coffee table in front of him, and used a smile to cover up his guilt and nervousness: "Eat some fruit, I can cook quickly." Getting ready to go to the kitchen, he wished he could conjure up a table of meals right away.He hadn't expected that there would be just the two of them at home. He couldn't accompany the guests while cooking in the kitchen. He was afraid that he would have to find something to chat with the guests outside after a while.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xincheng stood up after him, said "I'll help you" and walked towards the kitchen without giving Gu Jianan a chance to be polite.

Meng Xincheng stood straight in front of the cooking counter, turning his head to look at Gu Jianan, as if waiting for instructions.Gu Jianan thought to himself, it might not be the first time for a person like him to enter the kitchen.He quickly glanced at the ingredients, pointed to the tofu that was going to be put into the boiled fish and said, "Cut the tofu into pieces."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Tofu had already appeared in the palm of Meng Xincheng's left hand. He held a knife in his right hand and cut it down the waist, twice horizontally and twice vertically, and solved the problem in three seconds.Gu Jianan closed her mouth that was opened wide in surprise, and quickly handed over a plate.The tofu on the plate is like a Rubik's cube, each piece cut out is the same size, very uniform.

"You... know how to cook?"

Meng Xincheng said calmly, "No."

Seeing disbelief written all over his face, Meng Xincheng said seriously: "Really."

Gu Jianan no longer sticks to this, suddenly remembered something, and said, "I forgot to ask if you like tofu?"

"like."

Answer in seconds.Gu Jianan curled the corner of his mouth, hearing some flattery in his tone, his heart jumped for joy, secretly thinking that this person might be interested in him.

Then he became a little restless. The original skilled cooking process was disrupted because of two mistakes in a row. He secretly cursed himself for not being strong enough mentally, and messed up his position just by imagining.And Meng Xincheng kindly reminded him every time he made a mistake, he could only smile awkwardly, his whole face was redder than Guan Gong.The rock sugar in the pot had already melted into small bubbles. Gu Jianan poured the unusually uniform pork belly pieces that Meng Xincheng had just cut into the pot and stir-fried them. His back was stiff, and he picked up a bottle and poured it into the pot.

Meng Xincheng stood a few steps diagonally behind him, and calmly said in his nice voice: "You just let go of the soy sauce."

"Ahahaha," Gu Jianan laughed dryly, dropped the shovel, turned around and took a step forward: "There is a lot of oily smoke in the kitchen, you'd better go to visit..."

There were two intimate contacts within two days. Apart from lamenting that the two were really destined, Gu Jianan only felt that Meng Xincheng must think he was stupid and his body was not well coordinated, which inevitably made him a little embarrassed and flustered.

What made him even more discouraged was that now Meng Xincheng had his arms around his waist, and the two of them were close to each other, and he could only hear his own heartbeat, but Meng Xincheng remained calm, not even a hair on his face. There is a hint of confusion.Gu Jianan's warm embrace almost woke him up instantly. He quickly stood up straight and straightened his clothes, and said to him with a smile, "Thank you, I accidentally stepped on a vegetable leaf. There is a lot of oily smoke in the kitchen, you should go to the living room."

Meng Xincheng was very knowledgeable, and seemed to hear his emotional change from this sentence, nodded and walked out of the kitchen.

The distraction just now was broken by a hug, Gu Jianan curled her lips and said to herself, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!

He moved faster by himself, especially since Meng Xincheng, a good helper, had already washed and cut all the vegetables and arranged them neatly on the plate, which was quite pleasing to the eye at first glance.Gu Jianan sighed to himself, he really couldn't believe what Meng Xincheng said that he couldn't cook.

Gu Jianan pushed open the sliding door of the kitchen, and saw the silhouette of Meng Xincheng standing beside the rocking chair on the balcony. He seemed to be staring at the book on the table in a daze.Hearing the sound of sliding the door, he raised his head and looked towards Gu Jianan.With the light behind him, Gu Jianan couldn't see his eyes clearly, but he had a sad face, as if he would cry in a second.The light and shadow projected from the window traced the outline of his body, as if he was trapped in black with a circle of golden threads, looking gorgeous and lonely.Maybe that book brought back some bad memories in him. Regarding love or family affection, Gu Jianan really felt at this moment that Meng Xincheng is a real person, not a cloud floating in mid-air. Grab it and feel the warmth of his embrace.

"I've been waiting for a long time, let's eat."

Almost in response to the sound, Meng Xincheng walked over from the light and shadow, his face gradually became clear. There was not much emotional change on his face, but Gu Jianan just felt that he was happy at the moment.

Seemingly satisfied with looking at these dishes, Meng Xincheng hasn't touched his chopsticks for a long time.Gu Jianan was a little uncertain about his emotions. The dishes in front of him were all his specialties, such as boiled fish, thousands of braised pork, stir-fried water spinach, and cucumber mixed with sugar. Will not let the guests down.

Gu Jianan picked up a piece of braised pork for him with clean chopsticks: "It's a common meal, the hospitality is not good, I hope you like it."

"I like."

"Then eat more."

Meng Xincheng ate every dish, but he didn't eat much. He ate very slowly, as if he was savoring slowly.Gu Jianan was a little hypocritical, and suddenly felt unconfident, feeling that her cooking skills were not worthy of his serious attitude and elegant eating.Moreover, he seemed to be concentrating on eating, and the rice in the bowl was barely touched, which made Gu Jianan a little ashamed who had already eaten a bowl of rice. After a long time of brewing, he didn't have the courage to fill up the second bowl, and ate it lazily.

The two chatted from time to time, and Gu Jianan knew everything about Meng Xincheng's questioning. Halfway through the meal, his life was almost transparent in front of Meng Xincheng, but he still knew very little about Meng Xincheng.

"Why don't you eat it? Isn't it delicious?" Gu Jianan saw that Meng Xincheng hadn't moved his chopsticks for a long time, and looked at the dishes on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.He suddenly felt a little frustrated, feeling that the step of "grabbing his stomach" hadn't succeeded.

I don't know if Meng Xincheng saw that his frustration was comforting him, and said in a firm tone: "It's delicious!" At the same time, holding up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, he ate obviously much faster than before, and ate the rice.

Gu Jianan suddenly remembered yesterday that Meng Xincheng said that his stomach was not very good, and then he was annoyed to find that the dishes he cooked today were a little greasy, and then realized that the sentence he asked just now seemed a bit difficult, but now it is not easy to call him Stop chopsticks, it will make him appear a little capricious.

He was worried all the time, but seeing that Meng Xincheng didn't feel any discomfort, he just swallowed a little slower later, but he still finished the rice in the bowl before putting down his chopsticks and saying: "I'm done eating." Immediately after speaking, he got up to help clear the dining table, Gu Jianan hurriedly stood up and pressed his hand and said, "I'll do it, don't move." He swiftly packed the dishes and put them in the sink, thinking of talking to Meng Xincheng In other words, wait for him to leave before cleaning.When he turned around, he saw that Meng Xincheng had wiped the table clean. He walked into the kitchen and put the dishcloth on the stove and said, "Thank you for the hospitality. The food is delicious. I am in a hurry, so I will leave first."

"Huh?" Gu Jianan didn't expect him to walk so fast, and was a little dazed for a while.

Meng Xincheng walked towards the door while talking. He pointed to the box that he brought up just now and said to Gu Jianan: "This refrigerator contains mousse cakes and egg yolk cakes that I made myself. I would like to express my gratitude. Next time I will treat you to dinner, I hope It can be rewarding."

Gu Jianan nodded blankly, "Okay, okay."

"Then, bye."

The next day, Gu Jianan left early. He found Meng Xincheng's company before the off-duty time, and learned from the front desk that Meng Xincheng didn't come to work today and asked for leave.He was a little disappointed, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid. Everyone went to his home yesterday, but he didn't even ask for a mobile phone number.He was also a little worried about Meng Xincheng, wondering why he asked for leave or if he was sick.
