But neither Su Nuo nor Su Yang expected that they would see Gu Chenglan in the alley after school that day.
Gu Chenglan was carrying a large travel bag on his back and a huge travel bag in his hand.
When Gu Chenglan saw Su Nuo and Su Yang coming back, she smiled and waved vigorously: "Hi, I'm back."
"You..." Su Nuo was startled for a moment, then ran over quickly and threw herself into Gu Chenglan's arms, almost crying.
Gu Chenglan threw away the travel bag in his hand and hugged Suno tightly with both hands.
"I'm worried to death. I thought you wouldn't come back." Su Nuo buried her head in Gu Chenglan's neck, her voice trembling as she spoke.
"Fool, why can't I come back?" Gu Chenglan looked at Su Yang quietly, and when he saw that he was deliberately turning his head to look away, he lowered his head and kissed Su Nuo again and again on the face.
There were still tears in the corners of Suno's eyes, but a smile had already appeared on the corners of her lips.
"Can you go home first? I'm so hungry. After more than ten hours of flying, my legs are numb." Gu Chenglan patted Sunuo on the back and said a little aggrievedly.
"Well, okay." Su Nuo immediately turned around and said, "Brother, let's go home."
Su Yang responded, then walked over and picked up the travel bag that Gu Chenglan had thrown on the ground.
There was no one at home, and my mother, aunt, and cousin all went to the dessert shop. Now my cousin is studying actively. When my cousin leaves on the weekend, there will be only my cousin and Mother Su in the store.
Su Yang opened the door, Su Nuo put down her schoolbag and went to the kitchen first.
Gu Chenglan put down his backpack and ran over immediately, saying, "I can cook dumplings, Xiao Nuo, please go out."
"I'll just make it. Get the dumplings on the bus, noodles off the bus, and I'll cook the noodles." Su Nuo glanced outside to make sure his brother wasn't there, and immediately came over, stood up on tiptoes and kissed Gu Chenglan on the corner of the mouth.
Gu Chenglan smiled as if he had eaten honey, and then pushed Su Nuo out: "If I don't let you in the kitchen, I won't let you. There are no conditions. I just learned how to cook noodles. You can try my skills."
After Gu Chenglan finished speaking, he washed his hands and cut the meat. First stir-fry the shredded pork with Beijing sauce and then boil it over the water. While cooking the noodles, I also cut some cucumbers and carrots into shreds.
When the noodles are cooked, run them through cold water. The noodles will be smooth and chewy, and will spring to your teeth once you take a bite.
Gu Chenglan put the noodles on a plate, put shredded cucumbers and carrots on top, poured two spoonfuls of shredded pork with Beijing sauce on top, and served it to the table.
Su Nuo stood at the door of the kitchen and watched, his eyes starting to heat up.
"Come on, let's go in and eat noodles." Gu Chenglan pursed his lips at the table: "I only have two hands and I can't carry three plates of noodles. Why don't you help me quickly?"
Su Nuo couldn't help but praise her face: "Gu Chenglan, are you celebrating the New Year abroad these days, or are you working as a cook in an international hotel? You are really good at this."
"Haha, just learn how to make noodles." Gu Chenglan said, calling Su Yang over to eat noodles.
This was the first time Su Yang ate something made by Gu Chenglan, and he didn’t know how terrifying his cooking skills were before. After only one bite, he praised Gu Chenglan's cooking skills loudly.
"Since it's delicious, why don't you give me a chance to make it for you more often?" Gu Chenglan poked his face with chopsticks, with a deliberation expression on his face.
"Our family can't afford a cook like you." Su Nuo took a bite of noodles and said, "You are in the second semester of your senior year of high school, and you still want to be at the bottom of the school year? Don't forget, what did you promise me?"
"I... didn't forget." Gu Chenglan's expression became unnatural for a moment, and then she started laughing.
