Yama

Ji Qiao didn't wear much, and Yan Cheng didn't care to be gentle with him, he just urged him to go up and change quickly.Before Ji Qiao came down, she went to see Jiang Zhen, and knew that she was not at home, and probably went out to play with her classmates, so she took two steps, and looked back at Yan Cheng who was still standing in the cold wind with slight hesitation.

Yan Cheng was unspeakably clever in this matter, and noticed that Ji Qiao had such a small intention, and immediately ran upstairs without saying a word.

It was too late for Ji Qiao to repent, so she just followed behind and opened the door.

This is a mid-to-high-end residential area. There are small high-rises on the fifth to sixth floors. Each household has a ceiling height of nearly three meters, and the room type is good. Yan Cheng was able to come in thanks to the large number of visitors during the holidays, and the security guards did not question him much.The Chi family is the same, as soon as you enter, there is a large living room, a large terrace, bright lighting, and simple and elegant decoration, but even if the so-called middle-class conditions are revealed everywhere, Yan Cheng always feels uncomfortable looking at it.

It wasn't until he entered Ji Qiao's room that Yan Cheng realized what was wrong. This place was too similar to the school's dormitory, not the appearance, but the feeling, the same empty and deserted.

No decorations, no furnishings, no photos, and no taste of home...

There were only a few books on the bookshelf, Yan Cheng took advantage of the time when Ji Qiao went to the bathroom to change clothes, went over and looked through them, and found that they were all picture albums, and the covers were quite old, and the corners were all curled up, I don't know if it's because it has been read too many times.

Suddenly, Yan Cheng's gaze settled on one of the pages, where there were several paintings, and each painting was marked with the name and creator. What Yan Cheng noticed was the one on the far left. A sleeping old cat, with a mouse plucking its beard lying on the old cat's head. The painting style is more cartoonish, and the brushwork is also childish. It looks very interesting, and it should be a child's creation.

On the bottom of the painting, these messages were written: Ji Qiao, the second prize, "Take a nap when I'm tired from work".

Yan Cheng was in a daze when Ji Qiao came out, saw him holding her book, frowned, walked over and snatched it away.

Yan Cheng came back to his senses and said with a smile, "You've achieved outstanding results at such a young age."

Ji Qiao ignored him, stroked the folds at the corners of the book, and put it back on the shelf.

Yan Cheng looked at his careful appearance, and really wanted to know why this book was so important to Ji Qiao, but he knew that Ji Qiao wouldn't say it.

Ji Qiao suddenly asked him, "How do you know the address here?" He remembered never mentioning it to Yan Cheng.

Yan Cheng said, "I called Brother Tie."

When Ji Qiao heard this, her expression turned cold.

Yan Cheng is not afraid of death, "I just said that I want to pay New Year's greetings at your house, but I don't know where you live, so I came to inquire."

Ji Qiao turned around abruptly and walked out, but Yan Cheng who had been on guard for a long time pulled her from behind and hugged her.

Yan Cheng clung to his ear and smiled happily, "Why are you so angry, you believe everything I say, I don't remember being so easy to deceive."

Ji Qiao gave him a sideways glance. It's not that she is easy to deceive, but that it is entirely possible for Yan Cheng to do such a thing. Even if he is ten times more insane, maybe he can challenge it.

Yan Cheng leaned over to kiss Ji Qiao's side face, Ji Qiao shook his head and avoided, Yan Cheng hugged him tightly, and explained, "I didn't do that, okay, I'm looking for the monitor, he has the student information of the whole class, I said I'd send you something, but your phone didn't work, so he told me."

Ji Qiao asked coldly, "What time did you call?"

Yan Cheng paused, "Four o'clock..." Early morning.

Ji Qiao, "..."

Yan Cheng hugged the uncooperative Ji Qiao and struggled for a long time, trying to calm Ji Qiao's emotions by repeatedly assuring that the other party would not dare to think too much.Seeing Ji Qiao's serious face, Yan Cheng proposed to go out for breakfast, but Ji Qiao refused.There is nothing good to eat at this time, and there are too many people.

Yan Cheng said, "I have a good place here."

……

Ji Qiao has lived in this area for five or six years, but she still doesn't know there is such a restaurant nearby.Although the store is small, its exquisite thought can be seen everywhere. Just by looking at the layout, it is clear that ordinary people can't come in.

The two were led all the way to sit down in the small private room, and the waiter said carefully, "Master Liu will be here in a while, just wait."

Yan Cheng said, "No, I'll go over and talk to him."

Then he went out by himself, came back after a while, pulled Ji Qiao up and left.

Ji Qiao followed him inexplicably, and heard Yan Cheng say, "This is a private restaurant. Xi Tang brought me here last year. I tasted it and thought it tasted good, so I came here several times. There is no menu here. What do you want to eat?" They just do, but today, we're going to order something special.

While talking, he led Ji Qiao into the kitchen, and saw a man in his 50s or [-]s wearing a tall hat standing inside, who should be the Master Liu mentioned earlier.

Seeing Yan Cheng, Master Liu smiled and said, "The things are ready."

It stands to reason that how can idlers enter the kitchen, but this is a distinguished guest brought by the mayor's son, so there is nothing wrong with it.

Yan Cheng nodded, and walked over with Ji Qiao to have a look.

I saw flour, eggs, water... and various fillings on the huge table.

Master Guo said, "You can try to make it first, and I will help. Otherwise, we still have ready-made ones here."

Seeing Ji Qiao standing still, Yan Cheng walked over and took his hand to roll up his sleeves, "I was fascinated by Master Liu's craftsmanship when I came here before, especially the two red bean glutinous rice balls and handmade dumplings, so I decided to I want to learn how to do it, but we don’t know how to make things that are too complicated, and I’m satisfied if I can figure out a little way to do something simple.”

Master Liu knew that this was just a polite word from the young master, but it was an honor to receive such praise from him, no matter if it was true or false, so he patted his chest and promised to teach them both.

Ji Qiao didn't remember it for a while, she only looked at her own hand, and put it carefully on the table under Yan Cheng's encouraging gaze for a while.

Although the thing looks simple, but Ji Qiao has never touched these things, Yan Cheng is no better, even with Master Liu teaching him hand in hand, the two of them are still in a hurry, the flour is either added with too much water, or The stuffing leaked out, and the shape that was finally made was even more weird and distorted. The exquisite and clever brains that are usually exquisite and clear are useless at this moment, and each one is full of jokes.

Thanks to Master Liu's patience, he didn't laugh at the two of them, and his attitude naturally encouraged a guy like Yan Cheng who had no self-knowledge, who was quite complacent about the four images he created, and then he simply played abstractly, completely out of control .

Ji Qiao, on the other hand, has been earnestly learning to make. Although the process is clumsy, he has gradually achieved some results, but his works are very large. The glutinous rice balls can be compared to kiwi fruit, and the dumplings can cover the entire palm when lying down. .

In the end, a full pot was poured, which was almost enough for them to eat until next year.

Back in the private room, Yan Cheng was holding his own bowl, but his eyes were still on Ji Qiao's spoon.

Ji Qiao was so stared at by him that she couldn't help but pause, Yan Cheng said, "Why didn't you eat my bag?"

Ji Qiao looked at the pile of strange-shaped things in the other party's bowl, but said nothing.

Yan Cheng suddenly picked several and put them into Ji Qiao's bowl, and dug two giant glutinous rice balls from him.

Yan Cheng: "Let's eat instead, it's lively."

Ji Qiao "..." After a while, Yan Cheng was ready for him to blow his hair or make a cold face. Unexpectedly, Ji Qiao finally scooped up a square "tangyuan" and took a bite...

What Yan Cheng made was bean paste filling, which had no special taste, but the glutinous rice on the outer layer was not kneaded thoroughly, and it was still clumped. When he ate it, it felt half-baked in his mouth, which was very strange.

But Ji Qiao didn't say anything, she just swallowed it silently.

And Ji Qiao's giant glutinous rice balls were naturally wiped out by Yan Cheng.

……

It was already afternoon when I came out of the private restaurant, and the warm red sun spread down, dissolving a lot of the severe winter cold.

Yan Cheng didn't think about where to go next, neither did Ji Qiao, the two of them were a little bit full, so they just walked side by side casually to digest food, weaving through the festive crowd together.

Boys seldom like to go shopping. Yan Cheng and Jing Yao never had such patience when they were together before. Mostly, Jing Yao followed him to places that both of them could bear, but now they just walk around doing nothing. , Yan Cheng has a desire to make this road never end.

While thinking wildly like this, Yan Cheng's gaze suddenly paused.

He pointed to a shop across the street and asked Ji Qiao, "Shall we go there and have a look?"

……

When they saw Yan Cheng and Ji Qiao walking in together, Wang Xitang and Liao Yuandong who were sitting by the window were a little surprised.

However, the two quickly put away their emotions, and Liao Yuandong smiled instead, "Yan Wang, you are really inseparable, and you will not be lazy during the Chinese New Year."

Yan Cheng glanced at Wang Xitang, who was looking calm, and replied, "You caught me off guard."

Wang Xitang pulled the chair aside, nodded to Ji Qiao first, and then said to Yan Cheng, "Since you're here, let's sit together." When Yan Cheng and Ji Qiao sat down, another waiter was called to order a pot Tea.

Yan Cheng looked left and right at the environment here, and couldn't hold back, "You... are you cultivating yourself?"

This is a teahouse, not the petty bourgeois afternoon tea restaurant with coffee snacks or ice cream, but a real teahouse, with simple tables and chairs, traditional tea sets, and the long tea fragrance lingering in the air. For some elderly people, their youth seems particularly abrupt in this line of work.

Liao Yuandong smiled, "Well, I have had a very rich and abundant life these days, and I would also like to thank Young Master Wang for his warm hospitality."

He rubbed his fingers while talking, Yan Cheng knew that this was a habit of his smoking addiction.

Sure enough, Liao Yuandong stood up and said, "I'll put some water."

When he left, Yan Cheng looked at Wang Xitang with thoughtfulness in his eyes.

Wang Xitang spoke first, "What do you want to ask?"

Since he was so direct, Yan Cheng didn't hide it anymore, he said, "I called you."

Wang Xitang said, "I don't have the phone."

"Who's there?"

Wang Xitang raised his chin towards Liao Yuandong's position.

"Why would he..."

Wang Xitang interrupted Yan Cheng, "Ask him."

"What have you been doing these days?"

"I didn't do anything," Wang Xitang thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, I did a lot. I took him to play. After all, he is also your friend. I don't want to entertain him."

Yan Cheng was thinking about what they were playing, when Wang Xitang said it himself.

"I ran a lot of places, fishing, playing chess, and even went to Central Park."

Yan Cheng: "..."

Ji Qiaoye, "..."

Wang Xitang said, "He said he would follow me, so I arranged it like this, and I can also take him to appreciate the urban culture of U City, and the trip is not in vain."
