When Jinwu was slanting to the west, Bai Ye lazily opened his eyes from the bamboo couch, and the first thing he saw was a young man dressed as a scholar sitting at a table not far away, holding a scroll and whispering something Xiao Ran.

He smiled softly, his eyes narrowed a bit, he listened intently to what the man opposite him was saying, nodded his head from time to time in agreement, and the scrolls in his hand were rolled into a bunch and tapped lightly and rhythmically desktop.

He glanced at Bai Ye inadvertently, and when he saw Bai Ye who was awake, he froze for a moment, then smiled at the young people to express his apology, and then walked towards Bai Ye. "woke up?"

Bai Ye patted his side and motioned for Xiao Ran to sit down.He was very satisfied with li xuan's performance that he valued himself, which showed that li xuan valued himself.

I remember that Xiao Ran told him in the morning that he was really different from Tang Long, and he had recollected it now.In fact, what Xiao Ran said at the time was that young master Tang and the others were guests, while he was his own, so he had to be more considerate to the young master of the Tang family.

Hehe, he likes Xiao Ran and treats him as his own, preferably not even his brother-in-law, let alone a friend.He wanted to be Xiao Ran's lover, a life-and-death promise, a life-long relationship. Bai Ye felt that he would never get bored.

He has always been envious of Qionghua, and after she died, she possessed all of Xiao Ran's love—well, he was once loved by Xiao Ran, but he himself missed it, but Bai Ye didn't think that there would be no Qionghua in Xiao Ran's heart at that time, The love he got was always what was left after Xiao Ran gave it to Qionghua, right?

Well, he felt that in this situation, it would be great if Xiao Ran would love him, and he was helpless but helpless to share Xiao Ran's love with a dead person.But I'm afraid that Xiao Ran doesn't even want to love him, so he can't even win his love from a dead person.

Xiao Ran sat down beside him, picked up the palm leaf fan he left before going to bed, and fanned it for the two of them. "Are you awake? Seeing that you are in a deep sleep, I haven't called you all this time."

Although it has already entered autumn, the sudden counterattack of the autumn tiger these days has made this afternoon extremely boring. Seeing the sweat dripping from Bai Ye's temples, Xiao Ran quickly passed the handkerchief from his arms. "Wipe off your sweat. Shi Er said he was going to buy some iced ebony soup. He should be back soon."

Bai Ye closed his eyes again, listening to Xiao Ran's soft voice flowing past his ears like a clear spring.Seeing Bai Ye's eyes closed, Xiao Ran thought he was still awake, so he took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

It is also because the time spent together day and night is too long, Xiao Ran has gradually lost the initial defense and rustiness, and it feels a little natural to do many things for Bai Ye, as if at this moment, Bai Ye raised his lips, feeling the softness on his forehead and temples. The soft touch of the towel.

"Let's go early in a while. I want to eat wonton tonight, so you wrap it for me." Bai Ye turned sideways, with his face next to Xiao Ran's leg, and his voice was ambiguous.

"Why do you want to eat wonton all of a sudden?" Xiao Ran nodded after thinking about it, fanning Bai Ye while thinking about it alone. "Hey, well, we'll go back earlier after the guests leave. In the morning, the cook has to buy vegetables and meat, so I can pack them for you when I go back and prepare them. It's not too troublesome."

Xiao Ran, you never knew that Bai Ye's love was raised by you.

So not long after, the two left the bookstore hand in hand, and wandered all the way home.

Xiao Ran bought some fresh river prawns, went back to the kitchen, washed vegetables, chopped vegetables and cut meat, washed and peeled the river prawns one by one, chopped the prawns into pureed meat, and served with the vegetables and fresh meat just now Stir together, and finally beat an egg in, mix well, add some cooking wine and seasoning, wait for the stuffing to wake up and taste good.

It was also Bai Ye who thought carefully, when the two of them came out of the bookstore, Shi Er rushed back first, and asked the cook to make the dough for a while, otherwise, if they waited for Xiao Ran to come back to prepare, it is estimated that the two of them would be able to get together today. When it's time to eat, it's time for the moon to hang in the sky.

People in the south like to eat wontons with soup, but Bai Ye likes to eat them with dipping sauce.Xiao Ran found a small white porcelain plate, got some soy sauce, mixed some vinegar, and sprinkled a little sugar flower, then took the chopsticks and just wanted to stir it, but the chopsticks were taken away, the first time, it was the person walking Bai Ye who didn't make any sound.

"That's what I'm here for, you go make the soup."

Although Xiao Ran also eats dipping sauce like Bai Ye, he still knows how to make a bowl of soup. Xiao Ran said that the older generation in his family eats wontons like this, and it has become a habit after watching and learning from childhood.

Bai Ye originally only drank the noodle soup after the wontons, but once curiously took a sip of Xiao Ran's, and since then he has followed Xiao Ran to drink the soup.

This soup is clear water, salt and oil residue are added, and a spoonful of lard is added. It smells fragrant from a distance.

Xiao Ran's bowl was sprinkled with chopped green onions, but Bai Ye's bowl didn't seem to have green onions.

When everything was ready, Bai Ye called the cook in and helped Xiao Ran roll out the wonton wrappers.

Bai Ye likes to eat noodles rolled by Xiao Ran himself, but he still loves Xiao Ran, rolling noodles requires strength, how much strength can Xiao Ran have?So he asked the burly cook to help.

And this way the speed is much faster. After all, before Bai Ye frowned and felt uncomfortably hungry, the first bowl of wontons was already out of the pot.

The snow-white and plump big wontons are packed in a large mussel bowl, and they are so hot that they are smoking.Xiao Ran served it to Bai Ye and asked him to eat first.Xiao Ran knew that Bai Ye was prone to hunger, especially since this meeting was already past the usual dinner time, seeing how he came over from time to time to look around, he knew that he could not stand this meeting long ago.

Bai Ye took the bowl, but didn't move his chopsticks in a hurry, but put it on the table and pulled Xiao Ran to sit down together, and took a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick cage for Xiao Ran. "Let's eat together, let's pad our stomachs first, so you won't get hungry later."

If Xiao Ran knew Bai Ye, Bai Ye also knew Xiao Ran.He has a bad stomach, he can't eat greasy ones, if he is too hungry, he will have a stomachache, and the whole person will curl up into a ball when it hurts, biting his lower lip tightly, even though the sweat is pouring down, he just hums softly, making him feel sick. People are shocked when they look at it.

Bai Ye also asked Xiao Ran, why don't you know how to cry out in pain?Why do you use all your courage to bear the pain?

Xiao Ran smiled bitterly, if you knew that no one would care about you if you cried out for pain, why waste that energy.

Bai Ye couldn't hold back when he heard it, so he hugged Xiao Ran tightly. "You still have me. If you feel pain in the future, call me, and I will find a doctor for you any later!"

Xiao Ran was stunned on the spot, with that incomparably lonely smile on his face, his eyes widened in astonishment, he even forgot to push Bai Ye away.

It was Bai Ye who woke up first and let go of Xiao Ran. "That... aren't we brother-in-law..."

"Ah..." Xiao Ran blinked, and Bai Ye saw the relief in his eyes.

Xiao Ran, you don't want anything deeper, do you?However, he really wanted to give...

He didn't want Xiao Ran to be grateful, he didn't want Xiao Ran to respect him, he just wanted Xiao Ran to be at ease every day and do what he liked to do.He loves reading, and now there is a room full of books of all kinds for him to read; he loves reciting poems and painting, and now students and scholars come to accompany him to talk about the past and the present every day; There will be a group of little radish heads shaking their heads here...

Xiao Ran, whatever you love, I will do it for you, but I want to love you, are you willing to do it for me?

Xiao Ran sat down without any excuses. He was indeed a little hungry, but first he took one for Bai Ye, dipped it in the sauce and put it in a small plate. "The taste I just tasted was mine. You will try it now to see if it's too bland."

"Don't you know my taste?" Even so, Bai Ye swallowed it in one bite, and then called it hot and shouted delicious. "Xiao Ran, what should I do if I can't leave you?"

What he said was half-truth and half-false, but his eyes were extremely serious, it's a pity that Xiao Ran was drinking the soup with his head down at the moment and didn't see anything.But at this moment, Bai Ye dared to say such heartfelt words, if Xiao Ran really raised his head, he would not dare to be so obvious.

He could accept taking it slow, but he didn't dare to scare Xiao Ran away and give up all his previous efforts.

"If you like to eat, eat a few more. Why do you exaggerate?" Xiao Ran showed a pair of smiling eyes from behind the bowl, with slightly raised eyebrows, showing an indescribable charm.

Then Bai Ye was just like that, he was dumbfounded.
