Gu Yan smiled awkwardly, and before Manla could react, she quickly took out a piece of paper and wiped Manla's delicate palms clean.
"How long has it been since you washed your hair?" Manla slowly cast a sad look at Gu Yan. She tried hard to ignore her palms but finally couldn't accept it and ran to the toilet.
Gu Yan also walked to the toilet. She leaned against the door and scratched her head, "Well, let me think about it." She tried very hard to remember when was the last time she washed her hair
"You still think about this? How long have you not washed yourself?" Manla's voice continued to increase. Manla had a strong mysophobia. Although she felt sorry for Gu Yan, she still couldn't accept Gu Yan's appearance. She pressed I took some hand sanitizer and rubbed my palms twice.
"Haha, I've been too busy recently. I finally finished the decoration. Now there are only two decoration projects left, one of which has not been decorated yet. Otherwise, you would never see me."
Manla walked out of the toilet and saw Gu Yan's pitiful look. She wanted to give her a hug, but Gu Yan's dignified appearance made Manla stop abruptly.
Seeing Manla's disgusted expression, Gu Yan smiled clearly.
"Oh, yes, wait for me. I'll clean up after myself. We'll go to the hotel later." Gu Yan felt that if she didn't clean up, her friends with mysophobia would definitely stare at her with their eyes, so she ran away quickly. I went to the balcony and packed some clean clothes.
"Go, I'll wait for you, you have to change back to the beautiful little girl you were before, you know?" Manla walked to the sofa and wanted to sit down and wait. Suddenly she rolled her eyes upward, and the thin layer of dust on the sofa was still there. Challenging her patience.
"I'm telling you, you're here just in time. We can go shopping together and celebrate together tonight." Gu Yan took her clothes and rushed into the toilet. "After working hard for several months, I can finally rest.
"Ah? What are you celebrating? Is there any happy event?" Is it to celebrate her promotion? But she hasn't informed Gu Yan about this yet.
"Well, let's celebrate the successful completion of the renovation." Gu Yan had already closed the door and turned on the water heater.
"Yeah, you must take care of yourself, otherwise others will misunderstand that you are my mother." Hearing the sound of water in the toilet, Manla shouted loudly.
In a blink of an eye, Gu Yan and her friend bought the vegetables. At this time, the two of them stared at the things placed in the kitchen. Manla pointed at the vegetables with her chin. Gu Yan shook her head in embarrassment. Manla sighed. He started to move his hands helplessly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Manla." Gu Yan tried to please Manla like a petty person.
Manra rolled her eyes in return. "Did you have a plan for asking me to come here? You asked me to cook."
"You know, I can only cook instant noodles, so we can't celebrate by eating instant noodles." Gu Yan knew nothing about cooking, and she relied on instant noodles when she was most embarrassed.
"Haha." Manla could only use this word to express his helplessness.
An hour passed. Gu Yan looked at the dishes on the table and had to praise Manla's cooking skills.
A plate of stir-fried kale with beef, a plate of stir-fried squid with mushrooms, a plate of taro and sugared lotus root, a stir-fried green vegetable and finally a seaweed and egg drop soup.
The typical four dishes and one soup are simple but full of warmth. This is why Gu Yan wants to buy food today and let Manla cook, so that it feels like home. Gu Yan sat down and held her head with her hands. Looking at the woman in the kitchen who is dressed fashionably but wearing an apron at the moment washing her hands and making soup, Manla really looks like her sister.
Manla came over with bowls and chopsticks, took off her apron, and saw Gu Yan looking at her blankly.
"Sister." Manla hilariously changed her name to another and teased Gu Yan.
"Wait for me." Gu Yan came back to her senses and saw Manla already standing in front of her, and suddenly remembered something that hadn't appeared yet.
"Here." Gu Yan placed a bottle of red wine and two drinking glasses on the table.
Manla shook his head and sat down, picked up the chopsticks and tapped the water glass, "What kind of trouble are you trying to make?"
"Water glasses are also cups, let's make do with it." Gu Yan said as he opened the lid of the red wine and poured half a glass of red wine into each of the two glasses.
"Here, let's have a drink." Gu Yan raised his water glass and toasted to Manla boldly.
"Do it." Manla looked at Gu Yan's silly move with a snicker. Forget it, there is no one else here anyway, and it's okay to play cards that don't follow common sense occasionally.
"By the way, I got promoted." Getting promoted was particularly difficult for Manla. In such a bustling metropolis, there are so many people. Her ability to survive today is all due to her perseverance.
"Really? Congratulations." Gu Yan looked at her friend happily. Her friend had been working hard alone since he was a child. The hardships involved are indescribable.
Manla took a small sip of red wine. Although it was not pure red wine, it had a unique flavor.
"How is your decoration going? Do you want to answer again?" They haven't sat down properly for a long time since the last time they got together in the coffee shop. Every time Manla wanted to call Gu Yan, Gu Yan would Is supervising the decoration.
"Wait until the third home is renovated before accepting it. Otherwise, if you accept too many at once, you will not be able to find so many decorators and there will be many problems." Plans cannot keep up with changes, and some things should not be rushed.
"But I believe you will solve it one by one." Manla put a piece of beef into his mouth and chewed it carefully. Well, it tastes good.
"Yeah, although it's very tiring, the feeling when you get your hard-earned money is really indescribable." When she thought of this, Gu Yan used the chopsticks in her hand to show her excitement.
"It's all hard-earned money. You don't know that I just saw you crawling out of that garbage bag. I was still thinking that Gu Yan accidentally fell into hell and crawled out of the garbage." Manla Then I took a piece of squid and put it in my mouth. Well, the squid was too fried.
"Haha, this is very appropriate. I also admit that I really fell into hell and crawled out of the garbage dump. People have to learn to grow up. Although I have worked a little harder now, it is better than acting based on other people's faces." Gu Yan laughed at himself, but there was a trace of sadness looming in the happy expression on his face.
Manla put down her chopsticks and picked up the water glass. "Cheers." Today is a happy day, so why be sad.
"Come on." Gu Yan quickly agreed.
"Don't blame me. You haven't been the same for so many years. Your company has very strict employee evaluations. This is the first time you have been promoted in so many years. Congratulations."
"Yeah, I finally got promoted. I have to work harder next, otherwise I won't know what's going on if I get pulled down at any time?" Large companies have more people than meat, which leads to intrigues among them, but people outside are struggling to get there. It was so crowded that Manla had finally gotten in with the idea that he would have to gain a foothold in it even if he died, so he persisted until now.
"Let's cheer together. Forget it, don't toast, let's eat vegetables." Just drinking and not taking a few bites of food, isn't it a waste!
