come to my office after get off work

Although he talked about letting Liu Yiyang cook dinner, Jiang Shu finally went downstairs and got into the kitchen in the backyard.

In the matter of being courteous, Jiang Shu really didn't leave Liu Yiyang a chance.

What's more, Liu Yiyang doesn't cook very often, and the kitchen was made a mess by him.

Jiang Shu naturally took over the job.

"Let's stay for dinner?" Jiang Shu pretended to keep him, but Liu Yiyang was sensible, seeing a bit of hypocrisy in Jiang Shu's eyes, and finally found a reason to leave.

At 07:30 in the evening, everyone sat in the backyard and had dinner together.Xiao Zhang at the front desk ran over to grab a meal and added a pair of chopsticks. There were four people in total.

It's been a long time since Ji Lianxing has eaten Jiang Shu's cooking. Three dishes and one soup, the color is bright, and the cooking looks good.

"Try it?" Jiang Shu put a piece of meat into Ji Lianxing's bowl, but felt it wasn't enough, so he picked up a few more slices of vegetables.

Jiang Xiaotan giggled, her laughter caught everyone's attention, and they all looked at her at the same time.

Jiang Shu asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Xiaotan looked at Ji Lianxing, then at Jiang Shu, "This is how grandpa picks up food for grandma when we eat at home."

Ji Lianxing, who was drinking appetizer soup, choked, "Ahem..."

Jiang Shu followed Ji Lianxing's back, patted her spine gently with one hand, and taught Jiang Xiaotan while patting, "You don't talk when you eat, how many times have you said it, eat yours!"

Jiang Xiaotan bowed his head and ate quickly, not daring to make mistakes.

Xiao Zhang is a straight man, and he didn't find any clues about the relationship between Ji Lianxing and Jiang Shu. He only thought that the food was delicious, so he couldn't help but secretly poked at Jiang Shu, thinking that this woman would be fine.

Jiang Shu didn't eat much for a meal, and he was serving food for Ji Lianxing the whole time, as if he was very happy watching her eat.

Ji Lianxing was a little embarrassed, Xiao Tan's children would eat their own food, and she was still being picked up all the time as an adult, which was quite awkward.

Can't help but say to Jiang Shu: "You eat too."

"You eat." Jiang Shu had already put down his chopsticks, propped his chin with one hand, his eyes were shining, and he just looked at Ji Lianxing.

It seems that those eyes are saying: eat quickly, eat quickly, you are so cute when you eat, I like it so much.

Her unscrupulous eyes made Ji Lianxing even more embarrassed by the sight, so he speeded up his meal and put down the bowls and chopsticks within 5 minutes.

Xiao Zhang got up to add more food, obviously he was still unsatisfied, "You don't want to eat anymore?"

Ji Lianxing shook his head, "Don't eat."

Although it was delicious, she was indeed full. Jiang Xiaotan no longer had the habit of overeating, not to mention Jiang Shu, who always ate very little for dinner.

Xiao Zhang had an awkward smile on his face. He was holding a bowl full of rice, a little embarrassed: "Really don't want to eat? If I don't eat, I'll have rice in soup."

"Eat as you eat." Ji Lianxing had already got up, "Remember to wash the dishes after eating."

"Okay." Xiao Zhang took another big mouthful of rice, and said to Jiang Shu, "Your cooking is really delicious, can you make it again next time! I can chop vegetables."

Jiang Shu looked at Ji Lianxing with a smile, "Okay, as long as Xiao Ji wants to eat, I can do it anytime." After speaking, he took a special look at Ji Lianxing.

Ji Lianxing avoided her sight, but the blush on her face betrayed her.

Jiang Xiaotan hugged Jiang Shu's arm and yelled, "Shushu, you said you want to take me to play after dinner~"

Jiang Shu pinched Jiang Xiaotan's face, "You, you know how to play after eating, and you know how to eat after playing!"

Seeing that Ji Lianxing had gone out, Jiang Shu whispered to Jiang Xiaotan, "Let's go ~ follow your hedgehog sister, hurry up."

Jiang Xiaotan ran to chase Ji Lianxing, saying that he was going out for a snack, Ji Lianxing looked at the time, it was still early, he could go for a stroll.

Unlike in the city, you can take your dog for a walk on the asphalt road in the green park after dinner. There are only country roads here, and the only flat one is the stone road, surrounded by wild trees, and there are few street lights, so it is dark.

Jiang Xiaotan was extremely happy, holding Ji Lianxing with his left hand and Jiang Shu with his right hand, bouncing around in the middle by himself.

"Can you pull me up and let me fly!" Jiang Xiaotan fell down, trying to let Jiang Shu and Ji Lianxing pull her.

Ji Lianxing cooperated, but Jiang Shu did not.

"No, I'll hurt my hand later!"

"You are bad!" It was another wish that was not fulfilled, but Jiang Xiaotan didn't dare to say anything, because she had always been a little afraid of Jiang Shu, and Jiang Shu was very scary when he got angry.

"Do you have any arrangements later?" Jiang Shu asked Ji Lianxing.

"Go to the bar and talk about something."

Jiang Shu pursed his lips and asked, "Are you talking to Liu Yiyang?"

"Yes."

Jiang Shu wanted to continue asking, but stopped, and suddenly felt that there was no need to ask. If she knew that she would care, she would naturally be careful.Sometimes it really can't be too tight, things will be reversed.

Walking slowly along the path, the three of them walked into a path unknowingly. They could walk along this path until they reached Xu Shuxia's house. There were bamboo forests on both sides, and there were many cicadas clambering on the bamboo leaves at night.

Jiang Xiaotan let go of Jiang Shu's hand, spared a circle, ran to Ji Lianxing's side, and said, "I want to stand by the side and pick bamboo leaves."

As soon as Jiang Xiaotan left, there was no one in between, so Jiang Shu naturally took her place, and the distance between Ji Lianxing and Ji Lianxing was instantly shortened.

The shoulders of the two touched lightly, and Ji Lianxing turned slightly in Jiang Xiaotan's direction.

Jiang Shu didn't post it, and walked straight forward.

After a while, Ji Lianxing came over again, and the two shoulders touched again.

嘒—— 嘒——

The sound of cicadas wafted from the trees, and the rustling of feet on the broken leaves. Jiang Xiaotan hummed her theme song in a low voice, making no noise.

Neither Jiang Shu nor Ji Lianxing spoke.

There was a bright moon hanging in the sky, and the dim moonlight fell on Jiang Shu's hair, the side of his face, and the side of his ears, down to every fluff.

Maybe it's because with Ji Lianxing by his side, even breathing is sweet, Jiang Shu likes such quiet moments.

She stretched out her hand, and lightly touched the back of Ji Lianxing's hand with her fingertips. The current was flowing, her heart was beating faster, but she quickly separated.

Walking out of the bamboo forest, I passed an old one-story house with a small white lamp hanging in the yard. The door was open, and the sound of the TV came from the house.

"Little hedgehog."

"Ok?"

"Are you going to stay here from now on?"

"No." Ji Lianxing glanced at Jiang Shu intentionally, wondering why she asked this question, "I may go to other places in the future."

"for example?"

"I don't have a home, I can go anywhere, all over the world? Wherever I want to go."

Without a home, Jiang Shu's heart twitched when he heard this. Sure enough, Ji Lianxing still hasn't found a sense of belonging all these years, even though she already has her own business here.

"You can go to my house."

Ji Lianxing glanced at Jiang Shu with a strange look.

Jiang Shu shook his head, thinking it might be too early to say this now, "It's nothing."

Twenty minutes later, when they were almost at Xu Shuxia's house, Ji Lianxing stopped and turned back.Jiang Shu also had no intention of going to Xu Shuxia's house.

Jiang Xiaotan took a few steps and couldn't move anymore. The kid didn't do enough exercise, so he usually ran around Zhou Xuelan's garden a few times.

She said to Jiang Shu:

"Shushu, I'm tired."

Jiang Shu glanced at her, "Go ahead, you're so delicate."

"My legs and legs are hurting, you carry me on your back." She loves to act like a baby, and when she is cute, she is also a set of tricks, she is more refined than a thousand-year-old demon.

Jiang Shu had no choice, after all, she had been away for so long, Jiang Xiaotan might really not be able to bear it, she had to take her time to train.

"Come on, I'll carry you on my back."

Jiang Shu is purely knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted, and the one who loves Jiang Xiaotan the most is none other than her.

Jiang Xiaotan cheerfully climbed onto Jiang Shu's back, wrapping her arms around her neck, her movements were quite skillful.Ji Lianxing looked at her and smiled, and suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he had to be carried by an adult if he couldn't walk.

The moon fell into the branches, and the light was soft.

The two walked side by side, and Jiang Xiaotan on his back fell asleep not long after.

Jiang Shu finally reached out and hooked Ji Lianxing's hand.

Ji Lianxing didn't hide, she hooked her finger, and then, the soft palm covered the back of her hand, and the two finally held hands.

The familiar feeling seemed to be back when we were together again, when Jiang Shu liked to hold her hand the most, liked to clasp his fingers, and liked to kiss the back of her hand.

But now there is no clasp of fingers, just holding each other together, but it is enough.

Ji Lianxing has always liked Jiang Shu's hands, slender and white, slightly skinny when held, but the palm is soft and smooth, and every time he touches it, the apex of his heart trembles a few times.

"Jiang Shu."

"Ok?"

"What if you didn't meet me on a business trip? What do you plan to do in the future?"

"Live alone, and die alone." Jiang Shu answered this question very calmly, as if she had already planned it.

"Really." Ji Lianxing smiled slightly, "There are so many people who like you."

"But I don't like it either." Jiang Shu suddenly stopped, his eyes fell on Ji Lianxing, "It's not like you don't know."

Ji Lianxing was at a loss, "I don't know what?"

"It's not that I don't know that I only like you." Jiang Shu looked sincerely.

Hearing this, Ji Lianxing's heart skipped a beat. Sometimes she really admired Jiang Shu for expressing her feelings so naturally, unlike her, who always couldn't speak.

Ji Lianxing didn't answer, she shook off her hand and continued to walk forward, Jiang Shu followed her pace.

"what happened?"

"You are not afraid that Xiao Tan will hear her!"

"She can't hear, she's asleep." Jiang Shu heard Xiao Tan's heavy breathing just now, and he was sure that she was asleep.

It's just that now... Listen carefully, it's strange, it seems that there is no such sound.

Jiang Shu's heart skipped a beat.

"Xiao Tan?" She tentatively asked softly.

"What are you doing!" Jiang Xiaotan's voice was very clear, not at all like he just woke up.

"What? You didn't sleep???"

"Yeah, I didn't sleep, I heard it all."

Ji Lianxing:! ! ! !

Jiang Shu:! ! ! ! !

"You said you like sister hedgehog, just like grandpa and—"

Almost instantly...

Jiang Shu and Ji Lianxing interrupted her in unison: "Stop talking!"
