corner flower shop

He didn't speak much along the way, until Pei Yiqing drove all the way to a neighborhood that was relatively close to Xianxian, and he finally realized it.

who am I?

All roads.

Where am I going?

Pei Yiqing's house.

Thinking of this, he instantly felt a little unreal.

He has lived in no fixed place since he was a child, and has changed countless places, so home is an illusory but important thing to him.The only other people's homes he's been to are Daniu and Jia Wei.

The former is because he had no money when he first joined the society, and the latter is because he and Jia Wei lived together at that time.

He and Pei Yiqing had only known each other for such a short period of time, and he didn't expect to go to the other party's house.

The community where Pei Yiqing lived was clean and tidy. Even the security guards at the gate wore uniforms, and they could only enter by swiping their cards.Pei Yiqing first parked the car in the parking lot, and then walked in with big bags and small bags.

As he walked, he observed the expressions of the people next to him, and Lu Jie was in a daze at this time, so his already cold face became even more expressionless.

So Pei Yiqing began to reflect.

Shouldn't we lead the way?Along the way, he let people accompany him to the supermarket and let people carry things, as if he was serving him as a servant.

But they have already reached the gate of the community, and it would be even more outrageous to let people go, so he took all the things in his left hand, and reached for Lu Jie with his right hand: "Give me the things."

He moved his hands and didn't move his eyes, so he didn't know where his hands went, but he felt a touch of skin on his hands, and Pei Yiqing realized that he had touched Lu Jie's hand.

But this moment was fleeting, Lu Jie came back to look at him and said, "It's okay, I'll take it."

"...Okay." Pei Yiqing nodded.

He took the elevator all the way up, and then took out the key to open the door.

And Lu Jie, who was following behind him, remained obediently silent, and finally saw the layout of Pei Yiqing's house after the door opened.

To be honest, there was not much decoration. Before he went to Pei Yiqing's parents' house, he could see some calligraphy and painting decorations, but there was nothing at Pei Yiqing's house.The wall is bare, except for an exquisite ancient wall clock.

"Do you want to change your shoes?" He didn't step in.

Pei Yiqing in front responded, and took out a pair of unpacked cotton slippers from the shoe cabinet, "Put these on."

After Lu Jie put on his shoes, he finally stepped into Pei Yiqing's house. The door closed behind him, and the things in his hand were taken away by the other party in a second.

Pei Yiqing put things on the shoe cabinet, took some things that needed to be refrigerated, and said, "You can sit wherever you want."

"Ah."

Lu Jie looked around, and finally found the sofa in the living room and sat down.Pei Yiqing's house is not particularly big, with one room, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, he only took a rough look.

However, Pei Yiqing's house looked very clean, not the kind of cleanliness that was cleaned every day, but the kind of cleanliness that looked uninhabitable.

There was almost nothing on the table. There was a TV remote control and a plate of oranges on the coffee table. If he guessed correctly, this plate of oranges should be the bag that Pei Yiqing bought in the supermarket not long ago.

So he asked, "Don't you usually go home?"

"Go home," Pei Yiqing brought up the freshly washed cherry tomatoes, "It's just that I fell asleep as soon as I got home, and the bedroom is used the most. If I knew it, I would have bought a bed."

"You might as well participate in the competition with Banxian'er, so you don't have to buy a bed." Lu Jie looked at him and said.

"That's a good idea," Pei Yiqing slapped his forehead, "is there still time for us to get the shopping vouchers back?"

Lu Jie smiled and scolded: "Nervous."

Seeing that he finally laughed, Pei Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief, the house was too/quiet, so he turned on the TV and played a random channel, which happened to be broadcasting a certain concert.

To be honest, since streaming idols are popular now, he seldom watches TV. The boys on it are howling with mics, and they don't know what the other party is singing without reading the subtitles.

It's not as good as Lu Jie's singing.

Thinking of this, Pei Yiqing asked Lu Jie: "How is your team's album going now?"

"I just signed the contract yesterday," Lu Jie said, "It should be soon."

"Okay," Pei Yiqing nodded, "I will release my first support at that time."

Lu Jie smiled, and then saw a plastic bottle next to Pei Yiqing's TV.There was a rose in the water bottle, but he wasn't sure if it was a rose, after all, the flower was so withered that there was only a stem left.

As if aware of his gaze, Pei Yiqing explained: "That's the bouquet of roses I brought home on Valentine's Day before, and I kept it there and forgot."

When he said that, Lu Jie finally remembered which rose it was.It's amazing to say that the two of them bumped into each other casually at the beginning, and they hit it off by fate.

The two sat and talked for a while, and after eating the cherry tomatoes on the plate, it was time for lunch in the afternoon.Pei Yiqing received a call from Xiaowei, saying that the business was average today, but there were several business orders on the Internet, asking him to come.

Pei Yiqing agreed, and was going to run orders after dinner.He took out the notebook in his study, put it on the table not far from the kitchen, and beckoned to Lu Jie, "Come here."

After finishing speaking, Lu Jie sat next to him with an orange stuffed in his mouth, and Pei Yiqing could see the other's puffed cheeks with one glance.

He logged on to Xianxian's website, and found the list that Xiaowei mentioned, opened it and said to Lu Jie, "Have you ever bought anything online?"

"Of course." Lu Jie was puzzled.

"Then you should know Taobao customer service?" Pei Yiqing looked at him, "It's the kind of kissing."

Lu Jie nodded: "I know."

"Then you will be in charge of communicating with the buyers." Pei Yi checked into one of the customers and sent a message, "Ask me if there is anything you don't understand."

Regarding this sudden job, although Lu Jie did not appear to be caught off guard, he was still a little out of the situation and subconsciously said, "What about you?"

"I cook." Pei Yiqing said, "After we're done eating, we'll pack the coriander and deliver it."

After speaking, he got up and walked towards the refrigerator. He bought a lot of things today, so he specially picked out some good and expensive ingredients, and then asked Lu Jie: "Is there any taboo? Do you eat beef?"

"No, whatever." Lu Jie took the mouse that was set aside and started typing, "How much is the rose?"

"You let him read in the shop by himself." Pei Yiqing walked into the kitchen, his voice amplified a little, "I always don't read by myself, is it illiterate or something?"

Lu Jie, who was sitting in front of the computer, couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and wanted to send back what Manager Pei said, but he still endured his nausea and sent a few kisses.

On the other side, Pei Yiqing was standing in front of the pot, he was at a loss as to what to do. To be honest, he seldom cooks, and only stir-fries when he cooks. He has never cooked beef, which is a bit hard for him.He bought it just to learn it later, but he didn't expect to start practicing it now.

He opened the search software and looked at it for a while, and finally took out a meat cutting knife to cut the meat into small pieces.However, with his technique, the cutting is not perfect, some are thick and some are thin.

"This person asked if he could come and hand it over to him when he proposes," Lu Jie immediately defined after finishing the sentence, "I'm sick, and it's not a wedding company."

Pei Yiqing's meat-cutting hands shook from laughter.

After he cut all the meat, he soaked it in clean water, then washed the cutting board and knife, and took out the potatoes and cut them into pieces.

It was very simple for him, and he cut it in three strokes. He put everything in the bowl, and he heard the person behind him say abruptly: "Your potato chips can block bullets in your chest."

"Hey——" Pei Yiqing almost dropped the bowl, "You scared me."

After speaking, he glanced at the potato chips in the bowl again, and said with satisfaction: "It's okay, it's quite thin, have you finished it?"

"No, I just took the order, and there is one person who hasn't returned." Lu Jie touched the beef cubes in the bowl with his hands. "You cut things like you are fighting a war. I'll just take a look."

"It's working time now, mocking the boss means deducting wages," Pei Yiqing looked at him, and then the computer outside rang, and he said, "Go, reply to the message."

Before he reminded, Jingye Lujie had already stepped out of the kitchen and stood in front of the computer. Seeing this, Pei Yiqing smiled and turned around to continue cutting.

Also looks good.

He went through everything that needed to be cut and washed, and the beef was finally soaked.He took a deep breath and ignited the liquefied petroleum gas, watching the rising water mist, he felt a heroic feeling of dying bravely.

When he felt that the pot was almost boiling, he poured all the prepared oil into it, and it splashed everywhere in an instant.

Frightened by this posture, Pei Yiqing immediately poured the meat in the bowl without thinking about it.

The moment the meat came into contact with the oil, there was a sound of explosion in the whole kitchen. Even the road outside was startled. They walked to the door and said, "Did you fry the kitchen?"

And Pei Yiqing took the lid back and stepped back, "Go away, be careful not to be splashed."

Lu Jie stood on tiptoe and took a look, "Is your oil hot?"

"Really?" Pei Yiqing looked at him, "It's still fried like this when it's not hot?"

Although Lu Jie is also a novice in the kitchen, he still has some common sense, while Pei Yiqing really doesn't seem to understand, he doesn't understand how the other party has spent the past 26 years.

After a while, the movement in the pot finally stopped so much, Pei Yiqing stir-fried a few times with the lid in his left hand and the spatula in his right.

It's okay, no muddle.

So he said to Lu Jie behind him: "Look at my phone, what's the next step?"

"You still want to learn step by step?" Lu Jie was a little surprised, "Why don't you start by memorizing it?"

"It's useless to remember, a waste of time."

When the voice fell, Lu Jie felt that what he said was really true, so he picked up Pei Yiqing's mobile phone next to him, and read out the next step.

In this way, under the circumstances of people talking and doing, this dish of beef and potatoes is finally out of the pan.Then Pei Yiqing made a few more side dishes - cucumber and cabbage that can be eaten without frying. Finally, these three dishes were served on the table together.

Compared with the side dishes, beef as the only meat dish looks a bit horrible.Pei Yiqing took out a pair of chopsticks and a bowl, and suddenly froze when he took it out of the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Lu Jie said.

"...There is a very serious matter," Pei Yiqing said, "I didn't cook."

Lu Jie: "..."

I was speechless for a while, and then Pei Yiqing put the bowl on the table, "I'll go cook some noodles."

"Let me come," Lu Jie said, "Boss Pei, go and finish those business orders."

"Okay." Probably because he was tired from cooking, Pei Yiqing sat on the chair without hesitation.

Lu Jie was so fast that he even cracked an egg in, and the steaming hot noodles were finally served.Pei Yiqing glanced at the time, it took almost an hour for them to cook this meal.

Mainly because he spent more than half an hour.

Pei Yiqing tasted the noodles first, the taste was as good as the appearance, he asked while eating, "What did you put in it?"

"Vinegar," Lu Jie responded, "My own habit, forget whether you like it or not."

"It's okay," Pei Yiqing said, "It's delicious."

After speaking, he finally extended his chopsticks to the plate of beef, chewed for a while and frowned: "It's unpalatable."

"I think it's okay," Lu Jie said, "it's just a little blurry."

"So it's just because of the paste?" Pei Yiqing said, "It's the first time I made this kind of meat, and I thought it wasn't cooked yet."

"You didn't eat meat before?" Lu Jie took a bite of cucumber, "Why do you become a monk every day?"

"The meat is too difficult." Pei Yiqing bit down the egg, "I don't have much time to cook at home, so I can just eat something to fill my stomach."

Lu Jie nodded, Pei Yiqing saw that his face was normal, so he smiled and said, "Why did I feel that you were a little unhappy before?"

His tone was very relaxed, and Lu Jie glanced at him, not expecting that Pei Yiqing would see his every move, and said honestly: "I just feel a little uncomfortable."

"Uncomfortable?" Pei Yiqing frowned, and then said, "Didn't you feel nothing when you came to my house before?"

"It's your parents' house, not yours." Lu Jie couldn't say why, but could only vaguely say, "Of course it's different."

Although Pei Yiqing didn't understand what was different, she still smiled and put the topic aside, "I thought you thought I was plotting against you with your previous expression."

He originally wanted to expose this topic, but he didn't know why the atmosphere ran farther and farther in an extremely weird direction.

And because Lu Jie didn't speak for a long time, this weird atmosphere gradually became stronger, and even Pei Yiqing felt it.

To use a metaphor for elementary school students, the surroundings are so quiet that you can even hear a needle drop.

Lu Jie looked at him, then stirred the beef in the bowl with chopsticks, and said, "If it's wrong, it's because I cheated on you, right?"
