Say it's only once

Standing in the supermarket, Chi Jin watched Ji Ran stop the trolley and select ingredients.

She still didn't understand how she would agree.

It's not that they don't know what might happen when the two of them are alone in the room.

But at that moment, for no reason, Ji Ran appeared in her mind, covered in blood, sitting silently in the corridor outside the emergency room.

Besides, she said she had no family.

There were very few people in the big supermarket on New Year's Eve. They came late, and the supermarket would close early in an hour.

Ji Ran asked, "Is there anything you don't want to eat?"

Chi Jin said, "Anything is fine."

Ji Ran picked up a few pieces of ginger, Chi Jin saw this, and added: "...don't want ginger."

Ji Ran smiled: "You can say whatever you want. You won't be allowed to eat ginger. It's okay to use it as an ingredient. It's used to remove fishy smell. You won't be able to taste ginger."

Chi Jin: "...All right."

Ji Ran pushed the trolley, and he was familiar with the layout of the supermarket at first glance. When he arrived at the fresh food section, he took a look at the price of mandarin fish, and clicked his tongue: "It's already risen to 55 yuan, so expensive. But, old people can't drink it when they wrestle." Bone soup, fish soup is the best."

She picked two to be killed.

There was a cold stench in the air in the fresh food area, and Chi Jin's nose was slightly wrinkled, not used to it.

In the past, when she came to the supermarket, she only went to the daily necessities section to buy toilet paper and the like, and at most went to the freezer section to buy some instant products such as milk and quick-frozen dumplings.

When I passed by the fresh food area before, I only felt a little smell, but I didn't expect it to be so smelly when standing in it.

After the fish was killed and handed it over, Chi Jin rushed to take it and put it into the trolley, and took it out while holding Ji Ran's forearm: "Hurry up, hurry up."

Ji Ran was very cooperative: "Okay, okay, delicate sister."

It was less than an hour before the supermarket closed. Luckily, Ji Ran knew the way well. At the end of the checkout, a small trolley was filled with ingredients. Ji Ran looked very happy, pointing at the ingredients and reporting to her the New Year's Eve dinner menu.

"Lotus root, peanut and pig's trotter soup, steamed mandarin fish, braised pork ribs, white meat with garlic paste, scallops with vermicelli in garlic paste... Oh, and steamed beef with powder, boiled anchovies, fried eggplant box, I just know how to cook what you like, coincidence Isn't it?"

At that time, I just casually mentioned a few favorite foods, but I didn't expect her to buy them all.

Chi Jin hesitated: "Two people can't finish eating, so let's do less."

"do not want!"

Ji Ran flatly refused: "I used to be forced to cook less for New Year's Eve alone. Every New Year's Eve dinner was pitiful. This year I have one more person and I have to do more to have a New Year's flavor!"

Chi Jin was slightly taken aback.

It's rare for a girl in her early twenties to be able to cook, and Ji Ran is still very familiar with the price of vegetables. It should have been tempered by living alone for a long time.

Seeing her happily putting things into the bag, Chi Jin's heart felt a little sore for a moment.

There were two bags full of things, and Chi Jin reached out to get them.

Ji Ran didn't insist, and gave her a bag, and then said: "I'll cook the dishes, and I don't care about the waste. Anyway, I will make a whole table for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight."

Inexplicable childish persistence.

Chi Jin smiled slightly: "Okay."

"what?"

On the contrary, Ji Ran was skeptical, Chi Jin was so principled in the company, and he said what he decided was the same.

"Really?"

"real."

Ji Ran smiled again: "That's good."

Chi Jin's home is very large and empty, with minimalist style, dark wood grain floor, cold white wallpaper, and slightly warm light.

——Very beautiful designer model room style, but there is no human atmosphere.

The moment Ji Ran stepped in, apart from being amazed, he also had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the condiments in the kitchen are only the most basic oil and salt, as well as salad dressing, light soy sauce and starch.

Fortunately, there was a convenience store downstairs in the community that was closing, so I rushed to buy a bunch of seasonings at the last moment.

Ji Ran arranged the seasonings one by one: "The New Year's Eve dinner was almost over, it's my fault, I shouldn't expect anything from your kitchen."

Chi Jin was a little sorry, and took the initiative to ask, "What should I do?"

Standing in the kitchen, she looked out of place.

Ji Ran turned on the faucet to wash the vegetables: "It's okay, I can handle it by myself, you go outside and wait."

Having said that, Chi Jin felt that he couldn't just sit still.

But Ji Ran's movements were quite nimble, and after a while all the ingredients were cleaned, she couldn't intervene, and there was only one faucet in the kitchen.

This will Jiran start cutting vegetables on the cutting board, and the knives are smooth and smooth.

Chi Jin couldn't help wondering: "...Did you really set up a barbecue stall before?"

She thought she was joking.

The sound of the knife remained.

Ji Ran didn't raise her head, and smiled: "Why are you lying to me?"

Chi Jin remembered that Ji Ran's resume stated that he had a one-year gap working experience.

Thinking of this, I feel faintly uncomfortable.

It's just that her unbearable feeling was quickly interrupted by the phone call, and Boss Shen temporarily asked her to turn on the computer and start a video conference.

Landi newly developed the Malaysian market last year. Due to various reasons, the first project has not been opened for a long time, and Mr. Shen is very dissatisfied.

Mr. Shen returned from Tangquan Palace the day before yesterday and went to the airport to visit the Malaysian branch.

"I'm going to have a meeting." Chi Jin said.

"Ah."

The meeting lasted for more than an hour. When Chi Jin came out of the study, a strong aroma that stimulated appetite floated in the air, and seven or eight dishes were arranged in an orderly manner on the table.

Ji Ran happened to bring soup to the table, and when he saw her, he smiled: "What a coincidence, I just made it, come and eat."

Chi Jin sat down, took a sip, and before he could praise Ji Ran, he was satisfied with her expression, and tilted his head triumphantly: "I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Chi Jin said sincerely: "It's delicious, actually... I haven't eaten such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for a long time."

In the past, when celebrating the New Year in the old people's house, grandma wouldn't do too much, just the two of them, and the older generation is used to thrift.

Grandma was hospitalized this year, if she didn't bring Ji Ran back by accident, she might have to make quick-frozen dumplings alone on New Year's Eve.

Ji Ran: "Huh? Where's your family?"

Chi Jin said succinctly: "Gathering less and leaving more, they are busy."

"Oh."

Ji Ran was very focused on eating, and it was the same at the food stall that day. Her eating was not elegant, but it made people want to watch it. I just felt that watching her eat seemed to improve my appetite.

Halfway through, Ji Ran answered a call, and she turned on the speakerphone.

Noisy voices, the background sound of the Spring Festival Gala, the woman's voice was very loud: "Ji Ran, if you want me to tell you that you will come over tonight, why do you have to be in the first grade of junior high school? It's not that my parents and relatives have never met you, they I also miss you, big beauty, come here."

"No, it's not good to disturb on New Year's Eve."

"Are you celebrating the new year alone again? I have convinced you, I can bear it, and I have to find someone to accompany me no matter what."

Ji Ran smiled back and asked, "How do you know I'm not accompanied?"

Chi Jin on the opposite side suddenly choked.

"Who, who? New girlfriend?" The woman's voice narrowed, "Yes! When will you bring me out to meet you?"

Ji Ran avoided answering: "By the way, I won't go to your house tomorrow."

"Understand understand! How can I bother you, haha, it's over, I won't tell you when the happy twist comes out, bye!"

The phone call ended, and the surrounding area returned to silence.

Chi Jin felt that the atmosphere was not right, and after a while, he choked out a sentence: "... Shall we also watch Happy Twist?"

Ji Ran raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Okay."

It was late at night, and the moonlight shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

It was very quiet outside.

Ningcheng banned fireworks and firecrackers many years ago, and New Year's Eve became very quiet.

Chi Jin watched the Spring Festival Gala, his voice was not loud, but there was a sense of the year.

She called the nurse to ask how her grandmother was doing, and the nurse said that she was sleeping soundly.

I called my parents again, but there was no signal.

got used to.

Chi Jin just came out of the wash, because Ji Ran was there, so he didn't wear pajamas.Wear home clothes, comfortable cotton long-sleeved trousers.

The bathroom door opened, and Ji Ran came out after blowing her hair. She was wearing the pajamas Chi Jin gave her. The dark blue silk had a faint luster, and the deep V-shaped overlapping neckline was loose, revealing her porcelain-white skin.

Chi Jin only glanced at it, then turned back to the TV.

Ji Ran leaned over and knelt on the sofa with one leg, causing the sofa to sag.

"Sister, do you have wine?"

Her breath was engulfed in the steam from the bathroom, a little hot, and slightly brushed Chi Jin's slender neck.

"...in the sideboard, I'll get it."

Chi Jin was about to stand up and put one hand on her shoulder.

Ji Ran smiled: "I'll go."

She came out with two glasses of red wine.

The light on the ceiling of the living room is weak, and the dark red wine is even darker under the light.

Chi Jin took the wine glass, and Ji Ran casually sat down beside him.

Chi Jin didn't drink much, and she was still a little vigilant in her heart. Just because she couldn't bear to take Ji Ran home for a while, it didn't mean she wanted to have sex with Ji Ran again.

Although there have been two times.

Ji Ran sat next to him, very calm, as if he was watching the Spring Festival Gala very seriously, laughing from time to time, and went back and forth between several apps to grab red envelopes.

If you grab it, cheer and clink glasses with her, and if you don't grab it, you will sigh greatly.

Chi Jin's nerves gradually relaxed, and he drank one gulp at a time.

Ji Ran answered several calls, all from friends, laughing and joking.Chi Jin's cell phone was vibrating all the time, all of which were blessing messages from partners and subordinates.

She copied the replies one by one.

"—I didn't die, the nurse said it was ok, so I kept crying." Ji Ran's voice was lazy: "If you want to get back together, go there, at worst, you will be dumped again, what a big deal."

After hanging up the phone, she whispered to herself: "I don't understand, don't you want to be happy when you are in love? Talk about a fart if you want to die or live."

Probably the ex-girlfriend of the girl who cut her wrist and committed suicide.

Chi Jin remembered that on the day she was betrayed, she went to get drunk, maybe it was considered a life or death, no matter how you think about it, it's not decent.

She took a sip of wine, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever cried when you lost your love?"

"Why are you sad? Get together when you get along, and break up if you don't get along... Isn't it normal?"

Having said that, it shows that it has never been taken care of.

Chi Jin complained silently in his heart that it was unreliable.

On the Spring Festival Gala on TV, there was a cheater skit, the cheater used palmistry|fate to fool several people into paying honestly, Ji Ran suddenly became interested, picked up Chi Jin’s hand next to him and said that she would do the same.

"Can you cheat money?" Chi Jin rarely thought of being funny.

"I really know how to read it, I've studied it." Ji Ran took her wine glass away, facing the thin light cast by the warm-colored small lamp on the ceiling, and looked seriously.

She lowered her eyes and looked from an overhead perspective——

Long and curled eyelashes, straight nose bridge, plump and delicate lips.Incredibly beautiful.

Ji Ran looked too seriously, his body tilted slightly, and the silky silk slid down one shoulder, revealing the delicate collarbone and bony shoulder, and the undulating arc below.

Chi Jin looked away.

"Your career line is really good. You will meet villains in the middle, but there are also noble people. Let me see the lifeline, tsk, it's not long or short, but it's okay. You cut down on overtime too much. Marriage... um, It didn't go well at the beginning, I encountered slag, and then it went smoothly, let me take a look..."

Chi Jin wasn't actually listening.

"It says you'll be kissing tonight."

"?"

Chi Jin turned his head and reached out to pull her pajamas up, but was grabbed.

There are floor-to-ceiling windows behind Ji Ran. On New Year's Eve, there is no neon starlight in the city.

The floor is very high, and there is only a deep night sky, which is overwhelmingly dark.

Her shoulders are half-bare, her eyes are charming and seductive, and her pupils are shining, like a fairy who fell from the sky and accidentally fell into the world.

The voice is very soft: "Do you want to kiss?"

Chi Jin could hardly meet her gaze directly, and behind her gaze... the straightforward meaning.

The body also trembled slightly, and instinctively refused: "...No."

The grasped wrist was pressed onto the sofa, and the slightly warm breath blew by, Chi Jin's heart throbbed violently——

Ji Ran pressed against her lips and murmured in a low voice.

"Sister, you are dishonest again."
