Taste

The first day of the National Day holiday is a cool day.

Yesterday's big sun was hidden behind the clouds, and from time to time, it threw golden light from the gaps after the clouds drifted away, and sprinkled it into the long queues of traffic on the road.

There were quite a lot of people going in and out of the city, and Yan Han and Yuan Muchen were stuck in a car pile not far from the high-speed rail station.

A van in front ran into a black Jeep that was trying to get another car, and the two behemoths blocked two roads, which was especially in the way.

Yanhan dismissed the hope of being able to pass for a while, and silently moved forward with the traffic flow, "Mu Chen, what time did you book the ticket?"

"Nine thirty-two."

The person sitting upright in the passenger seat looked down at his watch, and continued: "No hurry, it's only nine o'clock now, after passing the traffic jam, it will take a few minutes."

Yanhan nodded silently, thankful that the two left early.

After Yuan Muchen finished speaking, he turned his head and looked out the window, complex emotions surged in his eyes, and he was surrounded by an inextricable sadness.

Yanhan turned her head and glanced at her: "I can go back and spend more time with my parents, why are you still so preoccupied?"

"Is there an old friend, the kind who can't be dug out in the past few years, and can't be seen again."

Yanhan smiled and said: "Isn't it better to have no choice? Could it be that you still hope that the knot between you two will be untied, and then each of you will be happy?"

Mu Chen laughed out loud and teased, "Oh, yo, when did baby Yanhan learn to comfort others? I still remember when we first attended the banquet, I vomited up and you didn't even pat me on the back Shoot, just pass me a piece of paper, it's pretty bad."

Yanhan rolled his eyes: "Team leader, are you embarrassed? I drank a little more than you that time, and I vomited right next to you."

"Hmph, the topics we talked about are really interesting."

The two gagged, and the traffic jam was no longer a dull thing.

The difference is only a few seconds.

Yanhan watched Yuan Muchen turn and enter the station in a cool manner, with a gentle smile on his face filled with gratitude and reluctance.

Mu Chen has always taken good care of her.

Maybe others don't know the difference between Yuan Muchen's choice, but they just think that she has been promoted from a small team leader to a branch vice president, and the official position and salary have been doubled.

But Yanhan knew that Yuan Muchen chose to retreat bravely.

It took three years of effort to build the most special department of the company. I am afraid that few people can bear the suffering and incomprehension during the period. When it was the most difficult time, I was hit by the enemy. Seeing that three years of hard work almost fell short.

But fortunately, Yuan Muchen took it down, and Yanhan also felt lucky, insisting on staying in the group during the most difficult time, so that he could learn a lot from the group leader.

The performance of the group in the past two years is on the table for discerning people. It can be said that Yuan Muchen can easily rise to the top of the head office without waiting for another two years.But she chose to go to a branch company that has just been established for less than a year and has no major projects to do for the time being. This is almost like finding an idle job and starting to "enjoy her own life.

Of course, many people criticized her for being lazy and giving up her bright future by herself.

That old man must be really, really important to Yuan Muchen!

Yanhan returned to the car, closed the door, turned the steering wheel skillfully and drove out of the parking lot.

Turn a little way from the high-speed rail station and you can go directly to the expressway.

Her gaze shifted to the suddenly lit phone screen, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of her mouth, she calmly cut off the video call from someone, and concentrated on driving towards her destination.

Runyun stared blankly at the chat box, the system prompting that the call had ended was particularly glaring.

It's over, it's over, Yanhan hung up the phone, are you in a meeting?

No, today is the first day of the long holiday.

Could it be that I disturbed her to sleep late?

Runyun tried to comfort himself, but when his eyes drifted to the display on the phone, he was not calm again.

It's already ten o'clock, it's impossible to still sleep now.

She must be angry, because she was too talkative last night.

But she didn't reply either!

Runyun slowly slid his fingers, flipping through the chat records.

I spent a lot of effort yesterday, collecting a lot of "admitting mistakes" emoticons, but in the end Yanhan only replied with a few "cold" emojis and added a good night.

Just when Runyun was anxious, a small green circle was displayed at the bottom of the screen, and a very short voice was spoken.

"It's inconvenient for me now, let's talk about it later in the afternoon." The voice was very gentle, as if it had been tried many times, and the words were very clear.

I don't know who was relieved, and the sound of exhaling relieved came from the room.

Runyun buried his face in the soft quilt, and lay on the bed in a large shape. It seemed that the person on the bed would not be in a good mood until the afternoon call.

Xu's father got up early to send his partner at work to the train, and bought a lot of vegetables on the way back.

The road was blocked and unblocked at times, and it was already eleven o'clock at noon when I got home.

When you see the door of the house from a distance, you can clearly hear the sound of a kitchen knife chopping a board.

"Is my baby girl chopping meat?" Father Xu's voice came over the sound of chopping vegetables.

Runyun suddenly lightened his strength a lot, and then said after a pause: "Yes, I want to make dumplings."

Father Xu smiled brightly: "My daughter wants to eat, so my father came to knead the dough, and happened to buy a few more bags of flour."

It has been a long time since father and daughter cooperated tacitly to make dumplings. The last time was the summer vacation before Runyun went abroad.

Runyun chopped up the washed green onions and mixed them into the minced meat, but he noticed the tall figure who was kneading the dough hard reflected on the porcelain plate next to him.

She suppressed the corners of her mouth that raised unconsciously, and the grudge buried in her heart began to emerge again, an inexplicable emotion appeared in her eyes, and the air pressure around her became even lower.

After a long time, Runyun walked up to Xu's father, and said softly, "Dad, let me come. You can beat an egg and mix it into the minced meat."

Father Xu raised his head, wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and there was an inexplicable flash in his eyes: "Put an egg?"

Runyun suddenly thought of something, couldn't help throbbing in his heart, suppressed his emotions forcibly, and said calmly: "I learned it from my friend, adding an egg to it will make the dumpling filling taste more delicious."

Father Xu wiped the flour that was accidentally rubbed on his elbow, and a loving smile appeared on his face: "Okay, okay, my baby girl has been in the south for a few years, and she has learned a lot about life!"

Runyun automatically took over the physical work, but with a gentle smile on his face: "I didn't learn it in the south, I learned it by making dumplings at home with my friends a while ago."

The time to get along is very short, but everything I do can be hooked with her.

With everything that comes to mind now, I can't help but search for certain moments in my memory that connect with her.

Seeing the heartfelt smile on the corner of Runyun's mouth, Xu's father couldn't help being stunned, and then he frowned, further firming up his thoughts in his heart, that his daughter's friend is really special, and I really hope to see each other sooner.

Making dumplings is something Runyun's family is used to doing every now and then. This time, the dumplings are cut with a lot more stuffing, but with Xu's father's years of experience, the extra flour can just make up for the missing number of dumpling skins.

Together, the two of them made dumplings while steaming them, so that making so many dumplings would not be too hard, nor would they starve their stomachs.

After eating the four dishes, Runyun was so full that he was forced to stand up and digest, while Xu's father sat and smiled, "Your appetite is much smaller. In the past, there were at least three dishes."

Runyun nimbly pulled and pinched a dumpling, and wrapped a dumpling again, "It should be, I'm used to home cooking."

Xu's father squeezed it unhurriedly, but the speed was not slower than her.

At this moment, the mobile phone with the volume turned up to full on the living room sofa rang suddenly, shocking the father and daughter who were competing to make dumplings at the dining table.

It only took two seconds for Runyun to react. The half-defective product he pinched was directly stuffed into Xu's father's hand.

Runyun didn't care about wiping his hands, and directly held the phone in his palm, "Hello! Yanhan..."

"Well, Runyun, are you home?" The voice on the other end of the phone was slightly tired.

Faintly, Runyun heard a burst of familiar laughter, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.

Yanhan quietly waited for the two aunts who were out for a walk to pass by. They seemed to be chatting about traveling tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, smiling very happily.

The laughter had an inexplicable appeal, and Yanhan's voice became softer.

"I sent a courier over in a hurry. The master just said that it can only be delivered to the door. I asked him to wait for you to pick it up."

Runyun was still thinking about the familiar laughter just now, when his eyes suddenly fell on the refrigerator, wait!

Xu's father just took out a plate of steamed dumplings, which were steaming hot and emitting a scent all the way.

When I turned around, I saw that my daughter, who had been serious for the past two days, was as excited as a rabbit. She put her mobile phone on the table and gestured incoherently: "Dad! Dad! Quick, help me use the dumplings, um, wrap them in a lunch box , I'm going to see someone!"

After finishing speaking, he walked quickly to the room. Father Xu could easily imagine that if she could run now, she would have already sprinted [-] meters.

Runyun returned to the room, grabbed the collar of the T-shirt, quickly took it off from the top of his head, and seemed to remember something, and wiped his hands with the white clothes.

In less than 5 minutes, she was fully dressed, except for the hair curled up around her ears due to her poor sleeping position last night.

Xu's father had already stood by the door waiting, and handed over the lunch box, "I don't know what dipping sauce your friend likes, so I just added vinegar and a little garlic paste to the side dish."

Runyun showed a bright smile, and the little grudge in his heart disappeared for a moment at this moment, he lifted the heel of his shoes, and walked out the door neatly without taking the keys.

Yanhan held the mobile phone and smiled helplessly. This big fool, who didn't realize it normally, is very shrewd now.

Obviously, her girlfriend should have guessed that last smile just now.

Leaning against the car door, she looked at the concrete road leading directly to the entrance of the small courtyard. She could see the corner at a glance, and she could immediately see the person she was thinking of.

Not long after, a slender figure in a casual sports suit appeared in sight, flickering as if holding something pink.

Yanhan's eyes were slightly hot, she always thought that she could maintain reason and restraint at all times, not clingy and keep a proper distance from each other; know how to stop losses in time, even if it is the closest person, the most important thing is to protect yourself of.

But from hearing her narrative solemn confession to the complete derailment of reason and practical actions that night, it seemed that something could never return to the cage.

If before last night, I could explain that the love I had endured for three years accidentally spilled a few drops because it was full, then I couldn't use the original excuse to explain everything I did after I cut off the phone last night.

The only possibility is that he wants to cling to Runyun and see her soon.

The slender figure framed by the front of the tall off-road vehicle, under the light golden sunlight occasionally cast from the sky, reveals an elegance and nobility that is difficult for others to approach, and the inadvertent tenderness in those eyes is all cast on the jogging person.

They've only been separated for four days, but they just can't move their eyes away.

"Don't run, don't jump, be careful!" Yanhan stepped forward quickly, for fear that she would take two extra steps.

But when she caught the rushing man, before she could speak, she was hugged tightly.

Runyun slightly bent his knees, and just buried his face under Yanhan's neck, close to his collarbone.

Before the car could be braked, the messy hair floated with the air, floated behind the ears, and happened to hit Yanhan's eyes.

She raised her lips and couldn't help laughing, how smart is her fool, the flour is still sticking to the end of her hair!

After a long while, Runyun inhaled enough of the familiar fragrance of green tea, leaned back slightly, and looked directly into Yanhan's eyes, "Where's the thing you sent me? The courier."

Yanhan scratched the bridge of her nose angrily, "It's not on me, it's in the hotel."

After finishing speaking, there was a hint of amusement in his eyes, "Go, get in the car."

The big fool Runyun is still immersed in complacency, she has taken advantage of it, and the courier is Yanhan, which is enough to make her happy for a long time, and there is really a surprise gift!

Yanhan glanced at the pink object she was carrying, it turned out to be a lunch box.

Runyun's eyes couldn't bear to move away from her face, his gaze was dazed, "You must not have lunch, right? It just so happens that my father and I just made dumplings for you."

"Well, I guessed it." Yanhan turned the steering wheel in satisfaction, drove out of the alley, and turned into the street.

"How do you know?" Runyun asked doubtfully, putting away his idiot expression.

"Fool, it's all on your face and hair!"

Runyun wiped his face indiscriminately, his ears turned red, "Why didn't you say it earlier..."

Yanhan replied quietly: "Punishment."

Runyun coughed dryly, and asked with a serious face: "Are you still angry? I solemnly apologize. Because of my inappropriate language last night, this kind of thing will never happen again!"

Yanhan smiled lightly and snorted.

Runyun hesitated for a moment before speaking, with a weak tone, "You are angry, come to accompany me, but I made you angry and I am not conscious..."

Yanhan tried her best to maintain her facial expression, her heart that had just pretended to be hard suddenly softened unbelievably, and sure enough, she couldn't resist someone acting like a baby at all.

"I'm not angry anymore. And...anger and plans won't conflict." Although it made the plan two or three days earlier.

The unashamed and coquettish person raised his bright eyes, his voice trembling with excitement, "You didn't go home because you planned to accompany me?"

Yanhan put on a wry smile, "Hey, I can't help it. I always feel that my girlfriend dislikes me for not caring enough, and secretly compares me with my ex-girlfriend. I'm really worried."

Without giving Runyun time to react, she took advantage of the waiting time at the traffic lights to turn around and ask, "How did you know I'm coming?"

Runyun narrowed his eyes with a smile, and the corners of his mouth were raised to show a bit of satisfaction: "I heard the laughter of my neighbor's aunt on your phone. When she laughs, she has a special characteristic, a kind of goose sound stuck in her throat. "

Runyun stared at her, "And it's rare for my girlfriend to call me. I want to hear where she is, what she's doing, and whether she misses me in every frame of sound."

The red light in the center of the town turned into a yellow light, and within three seconds, all the cars started one after another, merged into a traffic flow, and then separated at the fork in the road, driving to the direction of the heart.
