little cotton

On the last day of December, the boss closed the store at [-]:[-] p.m. and let everyone go home for the New Year's Eve.

When Yu Ling got home, she smelled the smell of dumplings as soon as she opened the door.

This smell is very familiar, so familiar that she seems to have returned to the days when she worked in Sister Li's shop two months ago.

Yu Ling bent over to change her slippers, walked to the kitchen door in a few steps, and looked into the damp room with her head.

Zhong Chuyun stood by the cooking pot and watched the dumplings tumbling in the pot. On weekdays, on the electric stove where they ate, there was a very special chili sauce from Sister Li's house.

"Eh? Didn't you have dinner?" Yu Ling said, looking at the vegetable cover curiously.

Seeing that the dishes inside had been taken out, she opened the refrigerator and took another look.

The dishes had been moved, and the unfinished ones were put back in the refrigerator.

Zhong Chuyun has eaten dinner, this order boiled dumplings, is it not full?

No, no, Zhong Chuyun doesn't have a big appetite, so he definitely can't order extra meals like this.

So... it was cooked for me?

It shouldn't be, she is on the evening shift today, and the news that she was able to leave work early was only known after dinner. How could Zhong Chuyun know that she would come back at this time?

Yu Ling thought about it, and unknowingly came behind Zhong Chuyun.

She raised her head slightly, and looked blankly and quietly at Zhong Chuyun in front of her amidst the extremely familiar fragrance of dumplings.

The range hood was not turned on in the house, and the misty white steam lingered in the entire kitchen, enveloping the woman who seemed to be always cold in front of me, as if to add a little tenderness to her.

As for her, she only gently gathered her long silver hair behind her back, tied it low with the simplest white hairpins, and a thick winter pajamas could not cover up her graceful curves.

Zhong Chuyun is always unsmiling on weekdays, but he just had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, with thick and slender eyelashes, and slightly upturned eyebrow tails, which seemed to be dyed with a slight blush, and he smiled shyly.No matter how cold it is, people can't help but want to get closer.

Such a face, no matter how many times she looks at this face from the previous life, Yu Ling can't help sighing, how can there be a goblin in this world who can grow so long?

Such a face is especially beautiful when it smiles.

Lin Shuang loves to laugh, but Zhong Chuyun rarely smiles...

Zhong Chuyun: "What are you in a daze for?"

Yu Ling came back to her senses, pursed her lips and shook her head.

She didn't want Zhong Chuyun to know that she thought of that friend whom she might never see again in this life.

In fact, not only did Yu Ling not want Zhong Chuyun to know that she was thinking of Lin Shuang, she also didn't want herself to always think of Lin Shuang unconsciously.

After all, according to Zhong Chuyun's words, there are only the last two nine-tailed foxes left in this world.

In the world she lives in, there may never have been a fox named Lin Shuang.

Since it has never existed, it is meaningless to think about it.

So she put that thought behind her once again, and asked curiously nonchalantly, "Why are you still cooking dumplings at this point?"

Zhong Chuyun didn't answer, but asked instead: "Is the taste familiar?"

Yu Ling: "Did Sister Li do it?"

Zhong Chuyun: "Well, I stopped by to buy it when I got off work."

After leaving the dumpling shop, Yu Ling always thought of the dumplings made by Sister Li from time to time.

Sister Li's dumpling shop has been open for many years, and the business is still decent every day, and there are still a few takeaway orders from time to time.I have to say that the stuffing and chili sauce of her dumplings are very special, and you can't find them anywhere.The street where Yu Ling works also sells dumplings, but the taste is not as good as the ones in Sister Li's shop.

Several times, beside Zhong Chuyun, she muttered that she wanted to eat Sister Li's dumplings, and wanted Zhong Chuyun to take her to eat together, but they both couldn't find a suitable time.

Zhong Chuyun said that she bought it on the way after get off work, but in fact Yu Ling is no longer a complete road idiot. She asked where Zhong Chuyun works, and knowing where she came back from, she would never pass by Sister Li.

She bought it especially for her.

Yu Ling lowered her eyebrows and pursed her lips, not letting the smile on her face be too obvious.

"How did you know that I would leave work early today?" She asked in a low voice, with a little joy that couldn't be hidden in her words.

However, Zhong Chuyun only said lightly: "I don't know."

……

Oh, that's fine.

I didn't know that she would leave work early, so I suddenly cooked dumplings at this point, it must not be cooked for her.

Yu Ling bit her lower lip, puffed her cheeks like an angry puffer fish, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, and turned into the bedroom beside her.

When Yu Ling changed into her pajamas, the pot of dumplings in the kitchen was also cooked, but Zhong Chuyun didn't intend to eat, but just sat on the sofa and watched TV.

The kitchen window was open, and the moisture in the room escaped.

The hot and fragrant dumplings were just placed on the electric stove in the kitchen, blowing cold wind.

Yu Ling put her hands on the kitchen door and glanced twice, couldn't help but turned her head to look at Zhong Chuyun who was on the sofa, and asked blankly: "The dumplings are cooked, don't you want to eat?"

Zhong Chuyun thought for a while and said, "You can eat if you are hungry."

"I've eaten in the afternoon, so I'm not hungry." Yu Ling said, walking to the sofa with her own emotions, and whispered, "If you cook it for me, I can eat it whether I'm hungry or not. But you didn't cook it for me, I don't need to hold on with a full stomach."

"En." Zhong Chuyun listened, as if he didn't understand the displeasure in Yu Ling's words, nodded slightly, and said, "Then eat it during the New Year's Eve."

"Then... wouldn't it be cold then?"

"Your sister Li recognized my license plate. She made me an extra serving of uncooked dumplings, and added a little more chili. She also called me and told me that the dumplings were boiled, let them cool, and then fried. It’s also delicious when it comes out, you have worked in her shop for a week before, but you haven’t tasted it, I hope I can make it for you once.” Zhong Chuyun said, raising his eyebrows and looking at Yu Ling, there seemed to be a slight smile in his eyes , "It just happens to be New Year's Eve tonight, and there will be fireworks in the city around twelve o'clock. It's so noisy that I can't sleep at all. You should be hungry by now, so you can go to sleep after eating."

"Ah!" Yu Ling couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"If you don't like the fried ones, you can cook another one." Zhong Chuyun said, raising his eyebrows, and said, "Are you still unhappy now?"

"I...I didn't!" Yu Ling lowered her head in embarrassment.

It turned out that the dumplings were bought for her, and they were indeed cooked for her.

She misunderstood Zhong Chuyun.

Although my little emotions just now were somewhat embarrassing, but at the moment when I heard the explanation, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart.

Yu Ling raised her lips, with an unconcealable smile on her face.

After a few seconds of silence, Yu Ling stepped to the front of the sofa in two steps, and under Zhong Chuyun's gaze, she jumped up and down, her body weighed three hundred catties, and fell back hard onto the sofa.

This naughty ass made the small sofa tremble instantly, and suddenly there was a trace of surprise in Zhong Chuyun's eyes.

However, Yu Ling just stuck out her tongue and corrected her sitting posture as usual, as if nothing happened just now.

Zhong Chuyun hesitated to speak for a while, and finally shook his head with lowered eyebrows, without a trace of displeasure in his eyes.

Yu Ling sat for a while, then said softly, "Sister Li still remembers me."

"How long has it been?" Zhong Chuyun said, "She also asked me how your grades have been recently."

"Then what did you say?" Yu Ling asked curiously.

"That's it." Zhong Chuyun replied.

That tone was so bland, Yu Ling couldn't help thinking, if she was Sister Li, she would definitely think that the little girl who ran away from home to work in her shop didn't study hard recently when she heard Zhong Chuyun say that.

This fox is also real, and she doesn't know how to speak well of her in front of outsiders.

Just when Yu Ling was whispering in her heart, Zhong Chuyun continued to speak.

"She listened, and let me persuade your parents to be patient with you in the future and not to put too much pressure on you. She said that you are a smart girl who is not afraid of hardship, and you will be able to live well on your own in the future. "

"Sister Li really said that?"

"Ah."

The corner of Yu Ling's mouth raised again.

Seeing Zhong Chuyun, he couldn't help but chuckled: "Praise you, are you so happy?"

Yu Ling turned her head and looked to the side, thinking that Zhong Chuyun's laughter must be laughing at her again!

But she is a reasonable cotton.

When the demon race is still in decline, before choosing to integrate into the modern human society, a demon like Zhong Chuyun, who has a noble blood and status, must be praised by many people, and he must not understand the joy of a little cotton when he is praised .

But since everyone is equal now, she doesn't care about these details.

That night, the TV series she usually watched were not broadcast, and a grand New Year's Eve party was replaced.

Many faces she has seen or haven’t seen take turns to perform on stage, some sing, some dance, the lights on the scene change like neon, the audience is full of voices, countless fluorescent sticks are waving into a galaxy, like water in the constantly switching shots Slowly flowing like a wave.

As time passed by, the lively party also began the countdown to the New Year's Eve.

Yu Ling felt the excitement, and Zhong Chuyun brought out a plate of fried dumplings, a plate of boiled dumplings, and a small plate of chili sauce that she missed for a long time from the kitchen.

When the New Year's Eve bell rang, gorgeous fireworks were set off outside the window.

She and Zhong Chuyun were squatting by the coffee table in front of the sofa, eating the delicious and hot New Year's Eve dumplings.

Looking up a little, you can see the colorful night decorated with fireworks.

This may be the first time in her life, Yu Ling found that the passing of a period of time can also be counted as a new beginning.

Human beings remember every important date.

Greet, welcome, or remember.

These days should be strange and irrelevant to a fairy like her, but in this city, there is another fairy who doesn't speak much to accompany her.

Since then, these days have become days related to her.

Her world is better.

An impulse surged from the bottom of her heart, as if an idea had reached her throat, ready to come out.

But when the fireworks outside the window dissipated like smoke, she couldn't help but fell into a trance.

After the trance, there was a feeling of emptiness in my heart.

She forgot what she wanted to say.

It was as if in a certain corner, something important was stolen quietly.

Is there such a possibility that if you are bored, you will not write pure daily sweet articles at all.

Just kidding hahahaha, this article should not be too long. After V, I will work hard on the sixth day, but it is just hard work. After all, I haven’t coded for a while, and my brain is a bit stunned. First of all, I must ensure the quality.Careful little angels may find that the copy says two-way healing, and there are some weird foreshadowings ahead.Now it looks like a daily article, but it is actually a bit of a big story, and it won’t be written too quickly. I can only say that I try my best to write as much as possible every day.
