The Best Couple

Tao Ran obviously didn't know what Shu Qichen was thinking. In his opinion, they were just trying to get along with each other now, and it was too early to live together.

Shu Qichen was only flustered a little, and soon he realized what the problem was, and he didn't mention Tao Ran's move here, and... this "friend" who lent Tao Ran the house to live in, he also needs a lot of attention one time.

The elevator arrived soon. There are two residents on the first floor. The area is very large and the types of units are different. There is a lot of room for improvement. It is basically similar to the layout of Shu Qichen. It is obvious that Tao Ran's friend's house...hasn't paid much attention to it. Or they bought it temporarily and went abroad before they had time to decorate it.

Although the house is not well decorated, there are a lot of furniture inside, and pet toys are piled up everywhere. In the living room, on the balcony next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a hanging chair, which is blocked by a partition, and the floor is covered with soft carpets. , I think those pets are usually "closed" here, as for the pet's toilet, I don't know where it is placed.

Shu Qichen took a look around and only found a few rice bowls for pets there, but no cats or dogs.

Tao Ran took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet, and he asked Shu Qichen to put them on.After changing himself, he walked over and took off the dustproof cloth cover on the sofa and threw it on the ground aside, then threw the backpack on his back on the sofa, and put the suitcase directly at the entrance.

Shu Qichen followed behind him, and put his backpack on the sofa as well. He glanced at the balcony, Tao Ran smiled and scratched his head. Looks good, he didn't realize it himself, "Cats and dogs are all sent to friends' houses who are also in V city." That is to his master Qingyun's place. Of course, there is no need to make it too clear to Shu Qichen now, there will be a chance in the future Introduce again.

Shu Qichen frowned, the friend who lent the house to Tao Ran and the friend who helped take care of cats and dogs were obviously not the same person, he said casually, "Your friend treats you very well, do you work together?"

Tao Ran thought about it, and writing an article together...it should count, so he nodded, but he didn't intend to say more.

Shu Qichen didn't ask any more questions, Tao Ran asked him what he would like to drink, and Shu Qichen asked, "Is there any coffee?"

Tao Ran nodded, and first boiled water with a kettle.After finishing all this, he sat on the sofa with Shu Qichen. It was almost seven o'clock, and there were many good restaurants around. Undecided, he asked Shu Qichen, "Going out for dinner?"

Shu Qichen looked at him, eyes full of curiosity, "Didn't you just turn on the hot water?"

Tao Ran slapped his head, and really forgot, he took out his mobile phone, and suggested, "Then order takeaway." He doesn't know how to cook, and usually eats at restaurants outside. If he doesn't want to go out, he can use the app to order takeaway. He personally finds it very convenient to deliver directly to the door.

Shu Qichen leaned over and almost touched Tao Ran's head. They would do the same when they were in N City before, so Tao Ran didn't feel unnatural. He even moved the phone a little bit to see how his white and tender fingers slid across the screen. Sliding away, he didn't pick too much, the main thing was to see what Shu Qichen wanted to eat.

Shu Qichen watched him point and click on the screen, and his thoughts drifted away. He wanted to pinch Tao Ran's fingers to see if they were as soft as he imagined. He lowered his eyes and hurriedly Suppressing that charming thought, she asked him, "Are there any ingredients in the refrigerator?"

Tao Ran was surprised and asked, "You know how to cook?" He himself doesn't like to eat noodles, but he can barely accept instant noodles and wide noodles, but he doesn't eat much.

Seeing Tao Ran's surprised look, Shu Qichen felt a little proud, but he didn't show it on his face, he nodded, but Tao Ran scratched his head, a little embarrassed and said: "...I just came back, the refrigerator is a bit empty. "

The corners of his mouth were raised, and he was in a good mood. Seeing Shu Qichen's dimmed eyes, he said with a smile, "Isn't there a supermarket next door? Go shopping?"

Shu Qichen's eyes lit up again, like a dog seeing a bone, Tao Ran couldn't help laughing, he didn't really dare to describe it.When going out, Shu Qichen didn't say to take the backpack back by the way, so Tao Ran pretended to forget it.

The two of them took off their coats after they entered, and now they put on their coats and went out again.

There are a lot of people in the supermarket at the moment, and some of them came out after eating.Tao Ran and Shu Qichen were already tall, and they stood out from the crowd when they walked. In addition, they were good-looking, so many people looked at them.Most of Tao Ran went out when there were few people, and he went to work late at night, so he rarely received such attention from passers-by, and felt a little uncomfortable, even if he was wearing a mask.

Shu Qichen next to him was also wearing a mask, but he didn't have much idea, mainly to put together a "couple outfit". Even the clothes he wore today were similar to Tao Ran's, I don't know if Tao Ran noticed it.

Tao Ran could only try not to pay attention to his surroundings, he was not very good at picking vegetables and meat, because he didn't know how to cook, and ordering takeout would take a while, so he would buy some hungry snacks, and Shu Qichen followed Behind him, Tao Ran casually grabbed two bags and put them in the shopping cart.

He looked at Shu Qichen, who was a little taller than him, and asked casually, "How tall are you?"

Shu Qichen asked him back: "How tall are you?"

Tao Ran used to be not very tall, and was about the same as everyone else, but after coming to V City, he suddenly grew a lot taller. He lowered his eyebrows and replied, "The last time I went to take a test, I was already 181." But I feel ...It seems to be a little longer, maybe 184, 185.

Shu Qichen laughed, "I'm 188.9."

Tao Ran laughed at him, "Why is the height accurate to the decimal point?"

Shu Qichen: "Then round it up to 190."

Tao Ran: "Then I'll round up to 190 as well."

Shu Qichen: "Shouldn't it be rounded up to 180?"

Tao Ran glanced at him like that, "That's the height I measured last time, and now I'm 185 anyway, unless you're not confident in your height." Chen also survived at 181. Although he couldn't tell how tall Tao Ran was at a glance, he still had an estimate in his heart.

Shu Qichen: "Okay, okay, then both of us will be 190."

Tao Ran snorted, looking quite satisfied.

Shu Qichen just laughed, thinking that Tao Ran was very much like a fox after he succeeded, the kind who didn't want to suffer no matter what.Then, he put his hand on Tao Ran's shoulder as if probing or inadvertently. It looked like two brothers hugging Tao Ran. Push away Shu Qichen's hand.

Shu Qichen's face was calm, and he was already screaming like an ordinary girl in his heart. Tao Ran didn't push him away, which showed that the other party was not disgusted with his physical contact. He squinted his eyes, just like he did at his uncle's house that day. , wanted to laugh but wanted to hold back, but fortunately, wearing a mask this time, no one could see the weird twisted joy on his face.

When the two arrived at the vegetable section, Shu Qichen asked Tao Ran what he wanted to eat. Tao Ran didn't have anything in particular he wanted to eat, and he didn't know what Shu Qichen was good at, so he asked Shu Qichen to choose what he was good at.

Shu Qichen himself is a dessert maker. He is very good at making Western-style desserts and food, but few people know that he is also very good at making Chinese food, but he plans to open a shop abroad, so he has been researching Western-style food. After all, the tastes of the East and the West are quite different.Of course, apart from research in recent years, he has rarely made a move.

Shu Qichen was very concerned about Tao Ran. Looking at Tao Ran's previous order records on the takeaway app, he roughly understood Tao Ran's taste, so he picked out a few vegetables and asked someone to weigh a few pieces of tenderloin.

Glancing at the contents of the shopping cart, he thought, it should be enough for two big men.

After confirming that there was nothing more to buy, the two went to the cashier to check out. There were also many people queuing up at the moment, so the two chose a place with fewer people to line up.A woman in her thirties in front was carrying a child. When she noticed someone approaching, she looked back curiously. When she saw Tao Ran and Shu Qichen, she quickly looked back.

Tao Ran was feeling bored, so he noticed that the woman in front of him had blushed cheeks, and the kid who had been making trouble was also staring at Tao Ran and Shu Qichen curiously. Because he was too short, he kept his head up to see their faces. Positive face.

He probably had never seen such a tall person before, so he stretched out his hand to draw the gap between himself and Tao Ran and Shu Qichen, Tao Ran almost laughed out loud, he raised his hand and squeezed the mask covering his cheek, Some want to laugh.The child had probably realized the gap between him and the two, and now he was almost dumbfounded, staring at the two in a daze.

His mother pulled the child, and the child came back to his senses, and said in a surprised tone: "Mom, these two brothers are so tall, and Dad is not as tall as them."

His mother hesitated for a while, and echoed him in a low voice, "It is very tall." At the end, she added, "You will grow so tall in the future."

While asking "Really?", the child gestured a few more times.

When it was their turn to check out, the cashier also looked surprised, looked up at the two of them, and then quickly scanned the barcode with his hands and feet.

Shu Qichen suddenly leaned close to Tao Ran, stretched out his hand from behind Tao Ran, and pushed an object that was accidentally swept to the edge towards the girl, and quickly withdrew his hand, which seemed to be a really kind gesture.

But Tao Ran felt differently. The action just now was completely different from the shoulder-holding before, as if the other party reached out to hug his waist. The touch was obvious, and their bodies were also very close. At that moment, he was quite I was so nervous that I even held my breath, and my mind went blank for a moment, and of course my body froze.

He smelled the sweet smell from Shu Qichen's body, and then...then a strange pleasure rushed into his stomach, and his heart was pounding.He also didn't dare to look at Shu Qichen's expression, he just took a few deep breaths in silence to calm down his somewhat "excited" body.

It would be really embarrassing if it was discovered outside.

It's just...he is too easily "excited"!Is it because you have never been in a relationship before, have no experience, and are too intimate with the person in your "dating" for the first time?Ah... what a shame.

Tao Ran's cheeks and ears were so red that they were about to bleed. He could vaguely hear the girls who had been following behind them, discussing something enthusiastically in a low voice, and they seemed to be excited by Shu Qichen's actions.

Shu Qichen didn't make any big moves afterwards, and Tao Ran didn't dare to look at Shu Qichen's expression, he just wanted to get rid of the heat on his face.The cashier girl probably hadn't seen such a person who blushed so easily, and couldn't help but take a few more glances, so Tao Ran's temperature, which had never been able to cool down, rose even higher.

After paying the bill and packing the things, Tao Ran carried the bag and walked out with her head down.Shu Qichen didn't make a sound, but Tao Ran vaguely heard that guy's laughter, and felt extremely annoyed.Tao Ran didn't feel better until he got out of the supermarket.

It was dark outside, and no one could tell whether his face was red or not. When the cold wind blew, Tao Ran felt much happier.Shu Qichen asked abruptly from behind, "Why are you walking so fast all of a sudden?"

Tao Ran paused, he stopped, turned his head to look at Shu Qichen, and saw that he was following behind with another bag, with an innocent expression on his face, he pursed his lips, he always felt that this person did it on purpose just now, and, and , Why is he so abnormal, does Shu Qichen really not know?

Thinking of this, Tao Ran felt a little angry, but he didn't lose his temper. He just looked at Shu Qichen for a while, and he didn't know what to think. Click back."

Shu Qichen paused, wondering whether Tao Ran was angry or really hungry.

When the two returned home, Shu Qichen went to cook, and when he got to the kitchen, he realized that he hadn't bought any rice. The two stood in the kitchen and looked at each other. Tao Ran said, "I'll go buy some rice."

Just as Shu Qichen wanted to stop him, Tao Ran had already put on his clothes and shoes, turned around and went out.Anyway, the supermarket is next door, just a few minutes away.This time he was alone, no matter how conspicuous he was, he was not as eye-catching as when the two of them were together.

After buying rice, Tao Ran was walking back when the phone suddenly rang.

He hasn't hung up the button in the past few days, and people he knows have his mobile phone number. If it is a colleague, he will call directly. , I hope it is not a reminder of the drama.

He had promised his old classmates to help with the post-production before, and explained that he might not have time to go back to his hometown for the New Year. After thinking about it, he didn't feel guilty anymore. He took it out and saw that it was sent by Qingyun.

Qingyun: I won't be home until six o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, are you coming?

Although he was surprised that Qingyun knew that he had returned to City V, he wasn't too surprised. He had already classified Qingyun as someone who knew a little bit of fortune-telling, but that was within the acceptable range.Tao Ran thought, there is nothing to do tomorrow, even if Shu Qichen stayed tonight, it shouldn't have much impact.

So he sent a text message back to Qingyun, saying that he would come to pick up the cat and dog tomorrow afternoon.

After answering, Tao Ran stared at the text message for a few seconds, then took a sharp breath, stopped, and after a few seconds of meditation, he continued to walk back, thinking in his heart, he must have been tricked .

Originally, he just planned to invite the other party to sit down and have some coffee, but then he thought that Shu Qichen wanted to show off himself, so he proposed to go to the supermarket next door to buy vegetables, but now...he had already guessed that Shu Qichen would probably stay at night .

Tao Ran got into the elevator, and began to puncture his "innocence". He already knew that when he invited Shu Qichen to come up and sit, he would most likely stay. "Routine?

Tao Ran was annoyed in his heart, and then comforted himself that nothing might really happen.

Suddenly, Tao Ran carefully recalled, did they buy wine when they went to the supermarket?

When Tao Ran entered the room, he had already thought a lot. When facing Shu Qichen, he behaved normally and even helped wash the vegetables.Shu Qichen's attitude when cooking was the same as any scientific research, with a very focused expression, just like treating a lover.

Tao Ran couldn't help but take a few more glances. He usually comes into contact with those bands and singers at work, and it's not uncommon to see people who love songs like crazy, so he doesn't find it strange, but Shu Qichen always pays attention to them. Focus on him.

Tao Ran felt that he was hindering Shu Qichen by being here, and he really wanted to say that he should go out and wait by himself, but he also felt that, as the host, it would be too outrageous for him to let the guests busy in the kitchen while he waited in the living room. He didn't say anything.

While doing it, Shu Qichen asked, "What time do you go to the radio station?"

Tao Ran washed the vegetables and put them on the cutting board and cut them into sections. "There is no fixed time. If you have nothing to do, you can go there after ten o'clock, and usually come back after one o'clock in the morning." He is close to the radio station, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk. thing.So he is usually free, but he goes to bed late at night, so he wakes up late during the day. It seems that he has a lot of time, but in fact he feels that he doesn't have much time.

Shu Qichen said "Oh" and said, "My shop is on Paulownia Street, just behind the TV station."

Tao Ran cast a surprised look. Shu Qichen hadn't said anything before, so he didn't ask.

Paulownia Street Tao Ran certainly knows that Paulownia Street is the real city center according to the map, but outsiders always think that the bustling Chunxi Road is.Although Paulownia Street is not as popular as Chunxi Road, it is also a famous street in V City.

This is due to the fact that the shops on Paulownia Street all have a literary and fresh style, and there are various creative shops in the surrounding streets. Of course, the rent is also very expensive, mainly because the transportation here is also very convenient.

He doesn't go to Paulownia Street much, and there are bars there, because the neighborhood is basically full of residents, so it's not particularly noisy, and it's more like a clean bar.He tried his best to recall that there were several dessert shops over there, all of which had a good reputation.

He asked casually, "I've been there a few times, what's the name of your shop?"

Shu Qichen continued, "'Treecoffee'."

Tao Ran stopped chopping vegetables, his eyes were filled with disbelief, and Shu Qichen certainly enjoyed his gaze.

Tao Ran asked, "Is it true?" Although he wondered at first whether it was opened by Shu Qichen, after all, the name was too obvious, but he also felt that it was impossible with Shu Qichen's age.

Of course, Treecoffee is not as eye-catching as a celebrity store, but in the eyes of foodies, it is different. Many people drive just to have a taste, and some people hope to meet the founder of this store. Qi Chen, but he can only try his luck.

What's more...Many celebrities have also shared this store, but recently they have a lot of fans, so as to avoid being discovered, there are fewer celebrities who come, but this does not hinder the business in the store.

Tao Ran works at the radio station in City V, and sometimes the singers who come to record programs will ask about the delicious food in City V. Tao Ran doesn't like to go out, and later he heard from his colleagues that although he hasn't been there himself, it doesn't mean that prevent him from recommending it to others.

A few times, someone sent a text message to tell him that the taste of that store was very good.Many people also asked if they could order online, and they were disappointed to hear that it was not possible. The store said that the desserts are easy to spoil, and the express delivery is violent.

However, Tao Ran has spotted food delivery apps on several occasions.Tao Ran looked at Shu Qichen skillfully stirring the vegetables, and asked, "Aren't you a dessert maker? I thought you were cooking Western food."

Shu Qichen raised his head and smiled at him, "I want to make it for you next time."

Tao Ran's ears turned red, and he asked, "Who usually makes the cakes in the shop?"

Shu Qichen laughed at him, "You think I did it all?"

Seeing Tao Ran nod seriously, Shu Qichen twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Not really. I occasionally make some and take them to the store."

Tao Ran put the cut vegetables on a plate, put them in Shu Qichen's hand, and looked at Shu Qichen with blinking eyes.Shu Qichen was paralyzed by his gaze, and asked him, "Why are you staring at me?"

Tao Ran said, "Is your kitchen very big?"

Shu Qichen smiled, he usually studies desserts at home, he is quite big.

Seeing him nodding, Tao Ran put his hands on the sink again, without saying a word, just tilted his head and continued to look at Shu Qichen.Shu Qichen felt a little angry and blood gushing from him, and felt that his cheeks were about to turn red. He pretended to wipe his face with his elbow, and was about to ask Tao Ran what he was looking at, when he suddenly felt blessed and said, "Go and see it at my place tomorrow. look?"

Tao Ran thought to himself, he can take a picture and look at it, but seeing Shu Qichen's rare embarrassment, he was quite happy, he smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Then I'll come and see you tomorrow."

Shu Qichen half-jokingly said, "Can't I stay here?"

Tao Ran stared at him, but couldn't tell whether Shu Qichen was nervous or not after watching for a long time, and said with a smile in his tone, "Let's see if your cooking is delicious."

Shu Qichen glanced at him, with half a smile and three parts teasing in his eyes, "If I were you...whether it tastes good or not, I would only have one answer."

Tao Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, Shu Qichen was playing tricks on him.

Helping to bring the food to the living room, it was almost eight o'clock after such a toss, but it was not too late, but I felt exhausted after running around for several hours.Tao Ran thought to himself, probably Shu Qichen was the one who was the most tired, and he cooked a whole table of dishes when he came back.

Shu Qichen was very confident in his cooking skills, he asked Tao Ran to taste it first, without asking if the food was good, just from the expression on Tao Ran's face, Shu Qichen knew that Tao Ran liked it very much.

After eating, Tao Ran went to clean up the dishes and wash the dishes, and Shu Qichen helped wipe the dishes beside him.Tao Ran thought to himself, is Shu Qichen too confident in himself, or is he playing hard to get?

He seemed casual: "You learned this skill from New Oriental?"

Shu Qichen couldn't hold back, smiled, shook his head, "Guess."

Shu Qichen didn't say any more, he seemed to be bored with this topic, Tao Ran thought, of course he knew what topic Shu Qichen was interested in, but he didn't want to talk about it.

After the dishes were washed and wiped clean, Shu Qichen stood by the kitchen door without moving. Tao Ran stared at him. For some reason, he asked, "Just now at the supermarket..."

Shu Qichen looked puzzled, with an inscrutable smile, "Huh? What happened to the supermarket just now?"

Tao Ran's heart was pounding, and he thought of an idea.

Under Shu Qichen's gaze, Tao Ran took a step forward and approached Shu Qichen.The two were very close, so close that Tao Ran could count Shu Qichen's eyelashes. Of course, he is not in the mood to count now, and the other's eyelashes are thick and dense.
