Lin Road

Chapter 5

"It's raining heavily." Lin Jiaren looked out from the car window, and the cold autumn rain swept across the whole city. "It's really hard to go out in this kind of weather."

"Then you still ask me to go out for dinner?" Mousse scratched her nose while waiting for the red light. "Little greedy cat, is work going well today?"

"Work is not the point," Lin Jiaren took out her phone and looked at the time, "I will definitely catch up with this time, Yes!"

"Catch up with what?"

"Now Mr. Lu is going to pass by Changle Street on his way home, and my brother happens to be shopping near there."

"So you told Lu Jinghua that I invited you to dinner and told him to take you here by detour?"

"By the way, save someone who forgot to bring an umbrella." Lin Jiaren narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Not necessarily," Mousse said, "If there is no prior appointment, the chance of meeting is very small."

"I didn't believe in fate at all before," Lin Jiaren said seriously, "but now, I am willing to believe that God will not torture them anymore."

The wipers kept shaking in front of his eyes, and Lu Jinghua followed the car in front, slowly moving forward in the rain.It seems that there was a traffic accident on the road ahead, and the traffic was moving slowly.There was only music from the radio station in the car, and it was a cold female voice singing incomprehensible French, a faint melancholy fermented in the car.

From time to time, there are flower umbrellas swaying outside the car window, some are a couple of lovers, the boy holds the girl tightly in his arms, but most of his body is wet; there are also mothers holding their children and carrying shopping bags, walking unsteadily. There are also pedestrians holding umbrellas, with indifferent expressions, passing by in a hurry.

Lu Jinghua followed the traffic and moved forward bit by bit. The unspeakable boredom made him loosen his tie, and he changed the radio stations in every possible way, but there was no tune he liked.When the traffic moved to a certain bus stop, he inadvertently looked at the waiting platform, but saw a familiar figure.

With a backpack on his back, he occupies a corner of the bus station alone, barely avoiding the raindrops from hitting him directly.Unlike those passengers who were anxiously looking at the direction of the bus, he raised his head slightly, as if he was looking at the gray sky in front of him, looking at the place where the rain was coming, in stark contrast to the people standing on tiptoe looking at the bus,

Although the rain and glass blocked part of Lu Jinghua's vision, Lu Jinghua believed that he was right, and his intuition told him that the person must be Lin Jingxian.He rolled down the glass window, and the rain drifted into the car along with the wind. He poked his head out and shouted at the man: "Lin Jingxian!"

Lin Jingxian who suddenly heard his name raised his head in a daze, and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw the lights of a car not far from the road flickering, and he could vaguely see Lu Jinghua facing the wind and rain, working hard Sticking his head out, "Here, come here quickly!"

Lin Jingxian laughed suddenly, he seemed to see a young man running towards him holding an umbrella in the rain, with an anxious face and at the same time couldn't help but reproach him, saying the same words, "Lin Jingxian, come here quickly".And he was the same as before, with one hand stretched back to hold his backpack, the corner of his mouth slightly pursed, he rushed into the rain without hesitation, and ran in his direction.

As the car door opened and closed, Lin Jingxian, who was covered in moisture, sat on the co-pilot.

"Hurry up and wipe it off." Lu Jinghua handed over the paper box, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Thank you." Lin Jingxian took it over. Although he hid in the station to shelter from the rain when it rained, his coat was still a little wet. "Sorry, I got your car wet."

"Don't worry," Lu Jinghua slowly moved along with the car in front, "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

"No need, just drop me at the subway station ahead, I'll go home." Lin Jingxian said, "Don't delay your business."

Lu Jinghua turned his head and smiled, "Sit in peace, let's drop by, and I'm going home too."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Lin Jingxian opened his backpack and looked, "It's lucky that I met you, otherwise I would be really worried about how to go back."

"What treasure is in the bag?" Lu Jinghua asked curiously,

"It's some spices." Lin Jingxian introduced, "I'm going to launch some new products recently, and I'm researching them."

"I'm looking forward to it." Lu Jinghua glanced at a bunch of things he couldn't name, and it was hard to imagine how they transformed into an unforgettable taste.

"How about helping me try it when I'm done?"

"Can I?" Lu Jinghua was not sure, "I'm not very good at commenting on food, and I have no similar experience."

"You are my customer," Lin Jingxian said, "you just have to tell me if you want to eat again next time."

"Well, then let me try."

"Tell me your mobile phone number, and I will contact you when the time comes." Lin Jingxian took out his mobile phone and wrote down the string of numbers reported by Lu Jinghua, and he solemnly entered "Lu Jinghua" in the column of the contact name.

At this time, the radio station changed to a cheerful song: No answer, no answer, where is true love / My love, my love, is it him / Try hard, think hard, no answer / 100% love will be ideal...

With the cheerful rhythm, the rain outside became a little lighter, and the dark clouds in the sky became lighter, as if it would soon clear up.

"excuse me."

Lu Jinghua was carrying a bag of fruit, stood at the door of Lin Jingxian's house and rang the doorbell.The last time it rained was on Thursday, and Lu Jinghua received a text message from Lin Jingxian on the weekend, and he happily came to eat.

"Come in." When Lin Jingxian came to open the door, he looked like a good man at home. The white sweater, beige slacks, and light pink floral apron were surprisingly suitable.

Lin Jingxian took the fruit in his hand, "Sit in the living room first, the food will be ready soon."

Lu Jinghua changed into his slippers and followed, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"No need," Lin Jingxian waved his hand, "It will be fine soon, you can go over there and sit and read the newspaper."

In fact, Lu Jinghua didn't have the talent to cook, at most he could wash vegetables, he saw that there was nothing he could do in the kitchen, so he decided not to make trouble, and waited obediently for dinner.

After a while, a seductive scent slowly drifted over. While Lu Jinghua was holding the newspaper, he was paying attention to the kitchen. Lin Jingxian had already started to put plates on the dining table one after another.

"Dinner is ready." Lin Jingxian called Lu Jinghua to sit down in the restaurant, "Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Lu Jinghua looked at the four dishes and one soup in front of him, five-spice stewed chicken wings, spicy crayfish, caramelized pumpkin, green onion peas, tomato and egg drop soup, each dish was delicious in color and fragrance.

"I thought it was just porridge." Lu Jinghua said, "I didn't expect it to be a hearty meal."

"The porridge hasn't been cooked yet," Lin Jingxian explained, "this meal is a thank you for sending me back that day."

"Don't be so polite between friends." Lu Jinghua picked up the chopsticks, "There are so many delicacies, I don't know which one to eat first."

"Eat whatever you want," Lin Jingxian added a piece of chicken wing to him, "It's been a long time since I've cooked, it's a bit raw."

Lu Jinghua took a bite, and his eyes lit up. The taste is really—how should I describe it—too salty if it is too much, and too bland if it is less, which is very suitable for my taste.

"The taste is really great." Lu Jinghua praised, "Have you ever studied cooking?"

Lin Jingxian paused for a moment with his chopsticks, and quickly covered it up again, and replied: "No, when I was in college, I shared a rent with my friends, and in order to save living expenses, I thought about cooking by myself."

"Then your friend is really lucky." Lu Jinghua didn't notice his abnormality, "I usually deal with it casually, and occasionally go home to improve the food."

"Don't you often go to restaurants when you talk about business?"

"No matter how good the food in the restaurant tastes, it's still not as good as the one at home." Lu Jinghua said, "I think the food you cook is much more delicious than that in a five-star hotel."

After Lu Jinghua was busy eating, he didn't see Lin Jingxian blushing slightly, and looked at him with gentle eyes, "If you don't mind, you can come over for dinner often."

"That's so embarrassing." Lu Jinghua glanced at the pile of leftover bones he had eaten, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly picked up chicken wings for Lin Jingxian, "I'm so sorry."

"It's not easy to cook alone, and I seldom open a fire." Lin Jingxian said, "Besides, it's a bit strange to sit at the dining table alone."

Seeing Lin Jingxian's somewhat lonely expression, Lu Jinghua's heart tightened, remembering that his mother used to complain about how pitiful eating alone was, so he quickly said: "If possible, next time you cook too much, please ask me to help. When the time comes Don't despise me."

"You are welcome anytime." Lin Jingxian smiled. "Ah, by the way," Lin Jingxian got up, "The porridge is almost ready, please help me taste it."

The spices that Lin Jingxian bought in the rain that day were all used as condiments for porridge, adding a lot of flavor.Lin Jingxian talked about the usage of different spices, and talked about his upcoming new medicinal food series.

"I think your porridge will definitely be very popular." Lu Jinghua said that he likes this taste very much, "I guess a branch will be opened soon."

"Thank you, but I have no plans to open a branch." Lin Jingxian folded his hands and propped his chin. "Just the decoration of this store is almost too busy."

Speaking of decoration design, Lu Jinghua sat up straight, "Which designer did you hire? I like that style very much."

Lin Jingxian blinked, "A friend of mine designed it a long time ago."

"Your friend must be a very talented designer."

"He majored in finance. However, design is his hobby," Lin Jingxian said proudly, "His only complete design draft is the design of this store."

"It's a pity, I was still wondering if I could invite him to work in our company." Lu Jinghua regretted.

"I have the manuscript designed by him," Lin Jingxian said, "I can show it to you when I have a chance."

After a while, Lin Jingxian took out homemade almond oatmeal biscuits from the oven, packed some for Lu Jinghua to take back to eat.At Lu Jinghua's insistence, he took on the heavy responsibility of washing the dishes.

Lin Jingxian, who was driven to the living room to watch TV, kept silently watching the swaying back of the man.He bent slightly, his shirt was rolled up to his elbows, and he tied his apron on. You can tell without looking, that he must have a serious expression on his face, as if washing dishes is a big job, and he is really afraid of his hands. Swipe to break things.Lin Jingxian suddenly felt that time seemed to have been frozen in that scene many years ago, and never flowed. In the small living room, there was also such a scene. Someone was eating fruit on the sofa and surfing the Internet, and someone was fighting with bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen. There was no parting or accident, and the two of them lived such an ordinary and sweet life for a long time.
