Cloudy but no rain

Su Luoqi carried big and small bags of cosmetics and clothes in his hands, and in the evening, he took Ji Zhifei's car back to Su Fengmian's house.

Ji Zhifei didn't know the way, so Su Luoqi acted as his guide.This allowed him to quietly write down Su Fengmian's home address, and he could also chat with Su Luoqi about Su Fengmian's current situation along the way.

The content of the chat was not much, most of what the child said was very daily, such as his likes and habits, and the chat was more about Su Fengmian on the three-foot podium that Su Luoqi described. He has never seen Su Fengmian's personable demeanor and occasional petty temper, but he also looks forward to seeing Su Fengmian who is different from what he knows.

Satisfied, he drove Su Luoqi to Su Fengmian's home, "buying" the little girl's wishes by spending money like this, if she was happy, Su Fengmian would be happy too.

Ji Zhifei has not had such simple and pure happiness for a long time.It is as simple as lying in the field and watching the stars, but it is rare.

He drove the car onto the overpass, and the sky was dyed orange at sunset. Ji Zhifei pulled down the light shield, and heard Su Luoqi say flatly in the back row: "Teacher Su likes to walk this road very much." .”

"Why?" Ji Zhifei asked.From Su Luoqi's words, Ji Zhifei couldn't judge whether this was a happy thing for Su Fengmian.

"Actually, I don't know if it is. But every weekend after school, he will take this road to pick me up. In fact, this road is the farthest, and it is easy to get stuck in traffic. Then it is about this time, you see When the sun sets in the west, it will be very beautiful." Su Luoqi propped his chin, his eyes were burning at the orange round sun in the distance, "But...forget it, I don't know."

Ji Zhifei was silent for a moment, and did not ask further questions.

Ji Zhifei wasn't sure if he knew the reason, but if it was what he thought, then would Su Fengmian's love for him now be stronger than he imagined.

He didn't dare to think about it, and he was somewhat self-indulgent. He might just like to look at the scenery.

After driving all the way to Su Fengmian's house, they took the elevator upstairs.

On the fifteenth floor, resident No. [-], Ji Zhifei wrote it down again.He felt like a stalker, but it was only natural to follow him so openly.

"Do you want to come in?" Su Luoqi took out the key and asked Ji Zhifei.

Don't you go in?

But he really didn't have any need to go in, normal people probably wouldn't go in.

"No matter how you say it, you have to buy me a glass of water." Ji Zhifei put on a harmless smile. He still knows how to be gentle, especially to deceive little girls.

He's not normal anyway.

"Oh, oh, you're right." Su Luoqi agreed again and again, and let Ji Zhifei into Su Fengmian's house.

After entering, Ji Zhifei glanced at the living room, there was nothing special, it was clean, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a while, and then he suddenly remembered that Su Fengmian must have gone to live at Ye Fuyi's house.

"Water." Su Luoqi brought a cup of warm water in a plastic cup.

"Will Su Fengmian come back today?" Ji Zhifei took the water and asked, in order to show that he was not so deliberate, he added, "Or are you at home alone tonight?"

Su Luoqi waved his hands and smiled: "Of course not, Mr. Su will be back tonight. He just told me on WeChat and asked me to prepare meals."

Ji Zhifei nodded, found a corner of the sofa and sat down, his eyes fell on Su Luoqi's ankle.

He stroked the plastic cup with his fingers, and after drinking it in one gulp, his stomach warmed up. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Your foot is injured, how do you cook?"

There are a lot of problems today, Ji Zhifei knew it would be annoying, but he had to try it out.

You can't just say that you cook by yourself, that's anti-client.

She pulled her hair, groaned for a while, and smiled apologetically after a while: "It seems true, my feet hurt from standing for a long time now...but it's okay, I'll tell the teacher, Ask him to pack some food outside."

As expected, Su Luoqi didn't plan to cook anymore.

"Actually, I want to say that I can help you." Ji Zhifei saw the needles, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to go home, so I'll grab a meal by the way."

Su Luoqi was stunned for two seconds, then waved his hands repeatedly to refuse: "No, no, you are a guest."

"You don't need to pay so much attention to me. Besides, think about it, when Feng...Su Fengmian comes back from work, it's already very late. Besides, he works all day, is it too casual to ask him to eat a fast food, I'm sorry It's been a hard day. He's tired of taking care of you, and he took you to see a doctor today, shouldn't we make Teacher Su happy and have a comfortable meal?"

Ji Zhifei reasoned with Su Luoqi so solemnly that she was inexplicably dizzy by the teaching tone.

Before she could respond, Ji Zhifei stood up, walked straight to the kitchen, looked around the kitchen silently, took off the black apron hanging on the wall, and wrapped it around himself casually.

It’s just that Su Luoqi still didn’t feel right. He was worried that Su Fengmian would blame her for asking customers to cook, so he said to Ji Zhifei: “How about this, uncle, I’ll order a takeaway hot pot. How about we eat hot pot? It’s delicious too. Yes! I called one..."

"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter, I'm idle anyway, I haven't seen him for many years, just take care of our old classmates' friendship, let me come."

After Ji Zhifei even finished speaking this series of words, he was actually quite awkward.

It has been a long time since he said a series of words at once, except when facing a patient.

"Ah..." When Su Luoqiyi was young, the friendship between classmates came to the fore, and she really couldn't find a reason to refuse, "Okay, let me help you."

"This is a good student." Ji Zhifei smiled lightly, making the corner of Su Luoqi's mouth twitch.

They were busy in the kitchen for a while, Su Luoqi stood with him for half an hour, his legs couldn't bear it, so he went back to the room to rest.

Ji Zhifei steamed the rice and saw the red numbers light up, feeling strange in his heart.

After being busy for a long time, he always felt that something was missing.

He looked around, the cabbage hearts were neatly arranged in the ceramic basin one by one after boiling water, the chicken wings were also cut one by one from the supermarket, sprinkled with salt and sugar, marinated with some spices, and waited for about ten minutes. It is delicious and can be steamed in a pot.

There is also soup, kelp and egg soup, which has been stewed until it is fragrant.

What is missing?

Ji Zhifei frowned, rubbing his fingers back and forth on the nailboard.

pegboard...!

It occurred to him, and he looked down at the pegboard—the strange thing about this kitchen is that there is a pegboard, but no kitchen knife.

None of the food just now needs to be cut with a knife, even all the condiments, ginger, scallion and minced garlic, Su Fengmian bought, processed, cut and wrapped.

Ji Zhifei took off his apron and went to the living room, but found no knives left and right, the fruits were grapes and bananas, so there was no fruit knife, all he could find was a small planer.

He had no choice but to ask Su Luoqi.

Ji Zhifei knocked on Su Luoqi's closed door: "I want to ask you something."

Su Luoqi delayed for a few seconds before opening the door: "What?"

"Where is the knife at Su Fengmian's house?"

"Ah...this..."

Su Luoqi's expression was obviously embarrassed. She babbled for a long time, but she couldn't explain why. Finally, she had to tell Ji Zhifei: "Ms. Su doesn't use a knife. I don't have one at home."

"Do you need it?" Su Luoqi asked quietly, "I have my own fruit knife in my room, and it's not too small."

Ji Zhifei became curious: "Why is there no knife? It can't be because I'm too lazy to use it."

"Is it possible to have been hacked by a knife? Some people were chased by dogs when they were young and left shadows. The reason is similar, right?"

"But it's not a concept." He thought it was absurd.

"Hey, I actually don't know. I guessed hahahaha, so I didn't dare to ask." Su Luoqi stuck out his tongue, "Of course I admire it too."

"Ok."

Ji Zhifei had no choice but to give up, he decided to ask himself.

This can be regarded as... find a topic to chat with Su Fengmian.

Although he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart, the small uneasiness was quickly dispelled by the doorbell.

Su Fengmian is back.

Ji Zhifei and Su Luoqi looked at each other for a moment, Su Luoqi raised his foot and shook it, Ji Zhifei knew that she didn't want to move, so he went to open the door by himself.

"I bought tofu and pork mince, shall we eat mapo tofu today?" The door was opened, Su Fengmian pushed it in, lowered his head, stepped on his left and right heels, took off his leather shoes, and stepped in a pair of slippers.

"No, your patients are not suitable for spicy food." Ji Zhifei's harsh voice sounded in Su Fengmian's ear, and his hand trembled almost causing a whole bag of white tofu to fall to the ground.

"Why are you here?" A deer popped out of Su Fengmian's heart, Ji Zhifei shrugged and said, "Didn't you ask me to accompany her?"

Although he didn't want to appear very indifferent, he couldn't control himself to put on airs and face. Facing Su Fengmian, it was difficult for him to be honest, and he couldn't help but become serious.

"Then you want to stay for dinner?" Su Fengmian looked at the minced pork in the bag, "Maybe it's not enough."

"The meal is all ready, how could it be not enough?" Ji Zhifei smiled after hearing this, his tone softened a bit, Su Fengmian looked at him suspiciously, he turned away his eyes, turned and entered the living room, and then led Su Fengmian into the kitchen, It's as if he's lived here for a long time.

"Here." Ji Zhifei leaned against the kitchen door frame, raised his jaw a little, like an old cat that caught a mouse, and proudly showed it to his master, rather than showing off, he said, "It's done."

"did you do it?"

"if not?

Ji Zhifei didn't say anything, but Su Luoqi just came out of the room when he heard the voice. He glanced at her, coughed, and said in a neutral tone: "Your student made it. Didn't you tell your student to ask her to cook?" ?"

Su Fengmian was even more puzzled. He put all the tofu and pork he bought into the refrigerator. It was made by Su Luoqi, why Ji Zhifei was so excited.

He muttered: "You said that Su Luoqi can cook, I didn't know that before."

Su Fengmian did ask Su Luoqi to prepare the meals. In the past, Su Fengmian said so, Su Luoqi usually prepared the ingredients for him, and then steamed the rice. He never really cooked.

But it's not that she can't cook at all, she just prefers to eat Su Fengmian's cooking skills, her own level is limited to scrambled eggs with tomato, scrambled eggs with green pepper... scrambled eggs with eggs, so she didn't cook for Su Fengmian.

Ji Zhifei was stunned, he didn't know how to smooth things over now.

He was silent for a few seconds and looked at Su Luoqi. Su Luoqi didn't understand what they were talking about, so he only asked tentatively, "Is the meal ready? I'm hungry."

"Just know how to eat." Su Fengmian and Ji Zhifei said this at the same time.

However, Su Fengmian's sentence was a bit resentful and did not mean to blame. Ji Zhifei's words were a little more serious. When the teacher didn't come back, Ji Zhifei took care of him in every possible way and prepared the meals. As soon as the teacher came back, he turned his back on him.

Su Fengmian, who was tidying up the refrigerator, didn't hear Ji Zhifei's words, and didn't worry about whether Su Luoqi could cook. He guessed that Su Luoqi could cook, but he was too lazy to do it. Well, with such a father, she must be self-reliant.

"Inexplicable." Su Luoqi rolled his eyes at Ji Zhifei angrily, pulled away the chair by the dining table, sat down, and waited for the food to be served.

"What's the matter?" Su Fengmian put the rice on the table, and seeing Su Luoqi's unhappy expression, asked, "I just walked in and saw a lot of new packaging bags in the entrance garden. Uncle Ji bought them for you?"

Su Luoqi was originally irritated by Ji Zhifei's attitude, but now Su Fengmian reminded her, thinking of these big and small packages, her mood improved, she smiled: "Yeah."

Su Fengmian never taught Su Luoqi not to accept gifts casually like a parent, he didn't think it was his responsibility, and he didn't want to be too strict with the students.Su Luozaki liked this very much.

"Remember to say thank you."

"I've said it." Ji Zhifei brought out the dishes, accepted his words, and sat down naturally.

"That's right, that's right." Su Luoqi's anger was all over now.

The table was rectangular, and Ji Zhifei put the dishes away, and habitually sat at the main seat, which he also took at home.After sitting down, seeing Su Fengmian hesitated to speak, he realized his impoliteness. He was about to stand up, but Su Fengmian immediately pulled away the chair next to him and sat down, as if he didn't take it seriously. It's not good to change positions specially, it will only be more embarrassing.

Ji Zhifei thought that maybe he was really not normal. He saw Su Fengmian sitting down as if nothing had happened, as if it was a normal thing for Su Fengmian. It was his first time to eat at Su Fengmian's house, but it seemed to be a Such a normal situation, this scene made his heart beat so fast.

It is always these most ordinary things that move his heart the most.

He didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, and he just took a bite or two when he moved his chopsticks, and kept observing Su Fengmian from the corner of his eye.

Whenever Su Fengmian picked up a dish, Ji Zhifei would be nervous for a moment, but Su Fengmian just ate quietly, not talking about the saltiness or looking at him, and chatting with Su Luoqi about some things in study and life from time to time.

"Aren't you going to eat?" After a few minutes, Su Fengmian asked Ji Zhifei, "Is it not to your liking?"

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of chicken wing, took a bite and said, "Eat it quickly, while it's hot and fragrant."

"Maybe he was full from eating secretly in the kitchen." Su Luoqi joked, "Uncle, you made such a large table of dishes. If you don't eat it yourself, the teacher and I can't finish it."

"what?"

When Su Fengmian heard this sentence, he stopped his chopsticks immediately, and looked at Ji Zhifei, his gaze fell into his flustered eyes as if he had knocked over a wine jar.
