We faced the afterglow of the setting sun and returned to our comfortable home. This time, Chu Yue cooked the food in person. I put the canned beer I bought at the roadside shop into the refrigerator and laid it on the table in the living room. On the sofa, the air conditioner was blowing and I was cracking melon seeds.
The delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen, and the recipe hidden in my subconscious just came out with muscle memory. I immediately guessed in my mind, is it stir-fried 60-year-old? Or boiled shrimp? Could it be...salt and pepper peanuts?
My saliva was secreting. I love spicy food, and my appetite was immediately aroused. I frequently looked back at the kitchen. Chu Yue’s busy figure was vivid in my eyes, as well as the work of the smoke machine. There was a constant roar.
It’s so warm and at ease in my heart. I’m very glad that I’m so happy and can enjoy such a peaceful life. Chu Yue came out with a few plates of food and drinks, took off the apron tied around her waist, tied up Get up and serve me a bowl of rice.
"Are you hungry after a busy day? Come to dinner, and I'll get you a beer. I've made some special dishes for you to go with your drink. I don't know if they suit your taste."
< p> Chu Yue said to me with a smile. She took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator. Frost had already condensed on the beer. She placed it in Yu Wen’s palm, absorbing the heat. I pulled the tab and took a sip. On the table There are a lot of dishes to go with the wine, including peeled shrimps, a small plate of soy sauce next to them, and cut millet peppers floating on top.Chu Yue picked up a piece of shrimp, dipped it in soy sauce, and fed it to me, "Is it delicious?"
I nodded, full of praise, and took a few mouthfuls of rice. Not to mention how pleasurable it was to take a sip of beer, Chu Yue also opened a can of beer herself. She was not very skillful, so she pulled the tab open several times and took a gentle sip to taste the taste.
"You don't know how to drink, why do you want to drink all of a sudden?"
I looked at her, very puzzled.
"I want to try it, the taste is a bit weird, I can't put it in words."
Chu Yue frowned slightly, put the beer can lightly on the table, held her chin in her hands, and stared at me , "You usually drink alcohol, doesn't this taste strong?"
I shook my head and swallowed the food in my mouth, "No, just drink it like a drink. The alcohol content of this beer is not high. Drink it." You won't get drunk, but you will only urinate frequently if you drink too much."
Chu Yue nodded thoughtfully and moved her eyes to the bottle of canned beer she opened. There were already cold beads from it. The can slipped off and formed a circle of water on the table. She picked up the can of beer again and took a big sip in an instant. She choked after just a few sips, and some of the liquid slipped from the corner of her mouth.
"Cough cough cough... Cough cough..."
Chu Yue put the beer on the table, covered her mouth and coughed, I took it He took a tissue, wiped the corners of her mouth for her, and said worriedly: "What are you doing? You don't even know how to drink, but you imitate me and take a big sip, you might choke."
Chu Yue stared at the can of beer on the table aggrievedly, dazed for a while, and then said solemnly: "I just want to experience your world. You are so bold every time you drink. The bar when we first met , I pretended to order a glass of wine without drinking it, pretending to give myself a sense of security..."
I gave Chu Yue a piece of shrimp and fed it to her, and she continued : "I've never drunk before. I want to try... to see if I can have a conversation with you over drinking..."
"Can we have a conversation?" What's the topic? The topics are not found, they come from all aspects of life. You don't have to search for them. Eat some food to fill your stomach. You just drank a big mouthful of cold beer and your stomach must be hurt. No."
Chu Yue took a bite of shrimp and leaned on my shoulder aggrievedly. Her little face suddenly turned red, "Xiang Yang... why don't you find another job? . ”
I am a little confused, why should I change my job? Didn't I just go to work today? I have to change jobs, which is a bit urgent.
"Why?"
I answered flatly and ate all the rice in the bowl.
"Because... I want to find a more comfortable job for you. You are running all over Suzhou to deliver food under the bright sun. Although you are fine now, I can't guarantee that you won't be in the future. If something goes wrong, it’s not worth it to have to run up and down and work like a cow for just a few dollars of profit per order."
Chu Yue said, I stretched out my arms and hugged Chu Yue, lying on the sofa. , looking up at the chandelier on the ceiling, "I have thought about this kind of thing, but I really can't make a choice now. I'm not familiar with this place. I have no connections and resources here. I can't stand firm. Maybe in It’s OK in Shanghai, but not in Suzhou.”
“Then it’s not the same thing...”
Chu Yue’s voice was very thin, and her face was very hot. She was also very red, maybe she was drunk, and she got drunk after drinking so much wine. This little girl can't touch wine, she must not touch wine. If it is a bar now, she may fall into the hands of others again.
"There will be a way. The boat is straight to the bridge, and there are trails to the end. There is no need to worry. Suzhou is so big, I will definitely not be limited to delivering food."
< p>This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.I comforted Chu Yue, picked up my own beer on the table and drank it all in one gulp. I looked at Chu Yue’s can of beer and asked, "Are you still drinking? If you don’t want to drink, I will. I can’t." What a waste."
Chu Yue immediately stood up from my arms and said, "Drink."
She took the beer and drank it carefully, with a pink blush on her face. A bright red appeared on her cheeks, and she drank the beer with a frown on her face, without saying that it tasted bad at all.
"Okay, okay, I see you are drunk, I will serve you a meal, eat some food to fill your stomach, and then take a bath and go to bed."
I stood up, but Chu Yue held my hand. She sat on the sofa and begged: "Xiang Yang, don't leave yet, stay with me, I'm not happy today... ·"
"What? What happened? "
From the beginning, I noticed that this girl's words and deeds were different. I have been observing. She has never touched any alcohol, but now she imitates me in drinking. There must be something on her mind. Now she is drunk. , and with the strength of alcohol, I finally had the courage to speak out.
"I haven't finished my work today. I still have two final designs for the costumes, which are very important." ····"
Chu Yue recounted her experience today without tears. I sat down, held her in my arms, and comforted her softly: "Okay, okay, don't cry. Cry, Chu Yue is the strongest girl. Nothing can trouble you. When you chased me, you persevered and never gave up. Now don’t cry and cry because of the smallest thing. It’s so embarrassing. ”
At this moment, Chu Yue’s true inner heart was exposed. Like a child, she calmed down after a few words of comfort, but she was still worried about this matter. This was also her fault. A kind of character, as long as it considers something very important, it will take root in the subconscious. If the matter is not resolved, it will not be forgotten.
"But... I didn't do it. "Finish, I didn't complete the task. I'm afraid I will be scolded when I go to the company tomorrow..."
Chu Yue was lying in my arms, looking pitiful. I gently stroked her head and looked at her in the air conditioner. Under the breeze, I didn't feel a trace of heat, even if I was nervous, I wouldn't be sweating like last night.
"I am your strong backing. You don't have to worry. Even if you get scolded, I will take care of you." Go and relax, release your bad emotions, go to the moat to vent, and wash away all the grievances you have felt these days.
I said with a smile. She did not speak anymore, but changed the topic to another topic, "I want to hear you sing. After we parted ways in the bar, I have never heard your song again. I I want to listen to Jay Chou's "Confession Balloon""
"Okay, wait for me, I'll go back to the room to get the guitar. "
I readily agreed to her.
I gently pushed Chu Yue away from my arms, returned to the room, took out the dusty guitar, and sat on the sofa. Next, she was my only audience. She held her mobile phone and accompanied me while I played the guitar. Jay Chou's songs were also familiar to me. At this moment, the music full of passionate love was playing on my broken hand.
"On the banks of the Seine, I hold a cup of coffee on the left bank, tasting your beauty, leaving a lip-stained mouth ~ the roses in the flower shop, whose name was written wrong, the confession balloon, The wind blows across the street, and the smile flies in the sky. You said you are a bit difficult to chase, and you want me to give up. You don’t need to choose the most expensive gift, just the fallen leaves of the Champs Elysees, create a romantic date, don’t be afraid of messing up everything, If I have you, I will have the whole world. My dear, I will fall in love with you from now on.From that day on, sweetness is very easy, my dear, don’t be willful, your eyes are saying I do~"
Chu Yue gently swayed her body, applauded me, and sang with me, my dear, love I'm willing to do whatever you say.
I can't sing Jay Chou's unique charm, but I can temporarily add my own style to this song. At the end, Chu Yue applauded happily. I cheered: "You sing so beautifully, Xiangyang, your singing skills have improved a lot. The heartless prodigal who only sang sad songs with his guitar in the bar is now singing "Confession Balloon" solo for me. I am very happy. "
I smiled, a little modestly, "Where is that? What a heartless prodigal, I haven't reached the point of sealing my heart and locking off love, my current name is... a young man in love, hehe. ”
I think the word “heart-locking love” is more suitable for Chen Zhen. He is better than me. He has no woman in his heart. He sings naturally and has no distractions. He can do everything with half the effort.
Me I took out a lollipop and held it in my mouth. Looking at Chu Yue's happy look, the taste in my heart became sweeter. Not only was it emotionally sweet, but it was also sweet in my mouth. It flowed down my esophagus and fell into In my stomach, it spreads throughout my body, full of motivation.
I feel that I have completed my transformation and regained my confidence in life. I will re-establish a new flagpole of faith and establish a new direction in life. Set sail on the sea, not to be a lost traveler, but to be a husband who settles down where he is.
I have already thought about the future and made plans. I want to get married. Falling in love with Chu Yue cannot be a three-minute affair. I don’t want to be a social coward who follows the crowd. I want to pay for love.
Chu Yue is still singing to herself, with endless aftertaste. ··
