Contention

So a good "Where is the steel wool ball" search trip turned into a kitchen cleaning scene.

The poor crab and lobster were soaked in the water in the iron basin, covered with the basket, spitting bubbles in a daze, watching the two people in the kitchen busy.

Zou Feiniao did not forget his original intention and insisted on finding the lost steel wool ball, but in the end he pulled out many things from under the cabinet.There are scraps of paper, vegetable leaves, chopsticks, and even a slipper...

Zou Feiniao held the slippers, speechless: "..."

Lu Yuexi was very surprised: "I said I had slippers, so I lost them."

"Do you still want?"

"No, throw it away."

"Oh..." Zou Feiniao threw a bunch of things into the trash can, and finally insisted on asking, "Where are the steel wool balls?"

"Is it also under the cabinet? Why don't you buy one, because it will get dirty if you drop it." Lu Yuexi tutted twice, "Don't look at me, I haven't washed the dishes for a long time, I also use the dishwasher if I want to wash them. I'm rich."

"No matter how rich you are, you still have to use steel wool." Zou Feiniao looked around, "Let's see where it is first."

Lu Yuexi had no choice but to focus on the row of cabinets above the kitchen, opened them one by one with a fluke mind, and inspected them one by one, and finally saw a clue in the cabinet in the middle:

"... Feiniao, here it is!"

Just as Zou Feiniao was about to lean over to look at it, Lu Yuexi had already reached out and turned his head. The two of them didn't stick to each other ambiguously, but bumped forehead to forehead sadly.

Lu Yuexi let out a "hiss", took a step back slightly, but accidentally bumped into the open cabinet door, and made a "peng".

This hurt so much that her eyes were staring, she clutched the back of her head and couldn't speak for a while, she just frowned and gasped.

Zou Feiniao was startled, and hurried over to check it out. She moved very quickly, perhaps subconsciously cupping Lu Yuexi's face, and asked:

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Boss, why are you touching my face?" Lu Yuexi regained her strength, "Show me if there is a bag."

Zou Feiniao moved closer, gently peeled off the hair on the back of her head, examined it carefully, and finally heaved a sigh of relief:

"No, not red."

Lu Yuexi rubbed that spot: "That's good, it doesn't hurt anymore..."

When she said this, she suddenly stopped, raised her eyes and looked at the girl who was staring at her intently, the pupils of the latter were clear, the eyes were affectionate and pure, and Lu Yuexi felt his scalp go numb.

But she didn't know whether to retreat or advance, and froze in place for a moment, responding to the girl's silent gaze with a wooden face.

Zou Feiniao's ears were still red, but his gaze was bold.After a long time, she suddenly took a deep breath, slowly lowered her head, and moved closer.

Lu Yuexi immediately looked at the enemy as if he was facing a big enemy.

When the girl was about to post it, she suddenly noticed something was wrong, tilted her head slightly, and said in surprise:

"Yeah, have you grown taller?"

Zou Feiniao stopped moving, and Lu Yuexi dodged like this, which made her wake up suddenly, and looked at the other party with a little confusion:

"what?"

"How come you grow so fast, you are... even taller than me!" Lu Yuexi stretched out his hand to compare, "Look, you have to look down at me, I remember we used to be about the same height."

Zou Feiniao: "..."

After all, the two of them didn't do anything charming, and went to deal with the ingredients in the kitchen.

Zou Feiniao seemed a little downcast, and he didn't take the initiative to speak anymore, only doing what he was doing seriously.

Lu Yuexi knew what she was worrying about. Although she felt sorry for her, she didn't want to comfort her.

Now she is still in a mess, and this child is going to take the college entrance examination again, so everything should be done not to disturb her study, so as not to disturb her mood.

It took two hours for dinner, and the table was filled with delicious seafood and seasonal vegetables and fruits.The plump swimming crabs are curled up in the double-eared blue and white soup basin, with corn, rice cakes, dried mushrooms, long tube vegetables, and chicken feet and red meat, etc. The extra crab meat is used to make red paste crabs.

The fragrant crab stew added chili, Zou Feiniao's nose turned red from the spicy food, and his black eyes were wet. Lu Yuexi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it:

"If you can't eat it, don't eat it."

"It's okay." Zou Feiniao shook his head, took a sip of water, and carefully opened the crab legs in his hand.

She usually can't touch a little chili, and she doesn't eat anything with a strong or fishy taste. She doesn't know what's wrong today, maybe she wants to try it.

Lu Yuexi rested his chin and looked at it leisurely. The girl in front of him was obediently and attentively picking out the white and tender crab meat with chopsticks. Her usually light-colored lips looked extra red because of the spicy food, as if she had put on makeup.

She smiled, got up and went to the wine cabinet to pick out a bottle of red wine.Zou Feiniao would not drink this no matter what, he just glanced at it, then lowered his eyes to drink water again.

Lu Yuexi slowly poured himself a glass of wine, feeling the atmosphere was silent, so he asked casually:

"The college entrance examination is coming soon. How are you doing? Are you under a lot of pressure?"

Zou Feiniao replied, "It's okay."

"Have you used up the soothing incense I gave you? Do you still have insomnia at night?"

Mentioning this, Zou Feiniao smiled: "No, I slept pretty well."

"That's good. I remember that you want to be admitted to X University. It shouldn't be a problem. You should work hard, but don't work too hard."

"Ah."

The girl who was eating crab meat lowered her eyebrows and looked calm, without smiling.

Lu Yuexi had already drank a few glasses of wine, her eyes were slightly drunk, and she asked again:

"Have you thought about your major? Are you looking at the professional score report these years? What do you want to do in the future?"

Zou Feiniao choked on the pepper, coughed, and lowered his head: "I think I've thought it through."

While the two discussed the topic briefly, it was a long time ago.

In front of an adult with a successful career, it is quite difficult for a young girl to openly state her seemingly unrealistic ideals.

Zou Feiniao paused for a while, sighed, and said:

"Talking to my mother, she seems to prefer me to be a teacher."

"Teacher?" Lu Yuexi nodded, "Parents would want the girl to find a more stable job, after all, she is also a teacher."

"However, she doesn't have any special wishes, it's just a suggestion, the rest is up to me."

"That's right, Auntie Fang is still very open-minded." Lu Yuexi poured himself another glass of wine slowly, raised the glass, looked at the girl's blushing face through the glass, and said with a smile, "My father insisted on me studying finance before. Actually, I kind of want to learn music, but whatever, the family business is more important..."

When she mentioned this, she suddenly paused.Thinking about it carefully, it seems that besides her, many people she knew did not end up doing what she wanted to do.

Ye Huai wanted to paint and became a traffic policeman, He Ying wanted to be an archaeologist, but finally chose a stable teaching career, even Wu Rurong, the most cynical and self-rebellious, gave up the seemingly unattainable dream of astronomy. Like myself, I changed my major to study finance when I was in college.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuexi glanced at Zou Feiniao who was sitting obediently in front of him.

She vaguely remembers what the girl wants to do, which is also absurd from an adult's point of view, maybe she will change her current thinking in a few years, and occasionally recalling the heroic ambitions of her youth would still find it ridiculous.

But Lu Yuexi didn't say anything, just drank the wine in the glass bit by bit.

Her eyes still fell on Zou Feiniao, and she gradually became a little dazed. The latter didn't take the initiative to speak in this silence, but only looked back with some doubts, waiting for Lu Yuexi to continue.

This gentle and clean look made Lu Yuexi's heart flutter. She was still thinking about Zou Feiniao's future professional affairs in her mind. After thinking about it, a thought flashed through her, but it was not clear. When she thought about it more and more When it was deep, it was unavoidable to be a little nervous.

However, the more she rejects this terrible idea, the more she inevitably thinks about its feasibility.

Lu Yuexi took a few more glances at Zou Feiniao, carefully tracing the outline of her face, looking at the facial features and charm that looked like someone, her breathing became a little short.

Since she can't get the current Ye Huai, why can't she... get another Ye Huai who is exactly 17 years old and belongs to her alone?

For a while, she was a little hard to say, this thought was really dark, and she couldn't even open her mouth because of the heavy weight.

After pondering for a while, Lu Yuexi still couldn't suppress the desire in his heart, so he tentatively opened his mouth:

"Since you don't want to be a teacher, have you ever thought about doing something more passionate?"

"Ok?"

"For example, the police or something." Lu Yuexi avoided the girl's clear and dark eyes, her voice was slightly dry, and she smiled a little concealed, "You have a good figure, and you must look good in a police uniform."

Zou Feiniao frowned slightly, a little hesitant:

"Ah, I never thought about it."

Lu Yuexi lowered his eyes: "Then what do you want to do? Or a marine scientist?"

"Well, almost."

"Marine scientist, what do you study specifically?"

Mentioning this, Zou Feiniao felt a little shy:

"Just, whales or something."

"Whales? You like whales so much? Why?"

"Probably because they think they are very free in the sea." Zou Feiniao smiled, "The sea is wide enough for fish to jump."

"The birds in the sky are also very free. You even have the word 'bird' in your name, but you like whales in the sea. It's really interesting."

Zou Feiniao smiled again, very reserved:

"Whales are mammals, as are humans, so instinctively, they should be more intimate. I don't know how to describe them, but I liked them the first time I saw them on TV."

Lu Yuexi nodded, looked at her face in a daze, and then said:

"Okay, it's okay, whatever you want to do, I will support you."

When talking about ideals, girls are always full of vigor, but hesitate to speak.It's not easy for someone as cold and serious as her to have something she really wants to do.

Lu Yuexi looked at the expression on the other person's face that she was familiar with, and felt her throat dry.For a moment, she thought about many things. The scenes of her youth overlapped with the present, and the people in front of her were so similar.

It's a pity that the person she really wanted is now a stranger.
