Chen Yiyi walked in, looked at Shi Ci, and asked with a smile, "Just got up?"
"Well, you got up a little late. Come in and sit down." Shi Ci closed the door.
Chen Yiyi waited for her to close the door and handed her the plastic bag, "No wonder you didn't answer the phone..."
Shi Ci smiled, took it, and took a look, "Did you buy all the brands of glutinous rice balls in the supermarket?"
Chen Yiyi scratched his head and said, "I'm not sure what brand you like." He looked at Shi Ci and continued, "I know you don't eat such sweet things, but I thought it would be nice to eat a few to suit the occasion."
Shi Ci smiled again and did not comment on the dumplings. He just said, "Please sit down." He then went to the kitchen carrying the plastic bag.
"To be honest, I haven't been to your place very often." Chen Yiyi put his hands in his pockets, looked at him silently, with a smile on his lips.
Shi Ci can be seen walking around in the open kitchen. It is rare to see Shi Ci at home like this. She is wearing a light grey satin nightgown and a thin cashmere cardigan that is longer than her calves. She is not wearing any makeup, but looks fresh and elegant with a sense of laziness and comfort as if she just woke up.
She didn't dare to look too closely, and smiled again, then raised her voice and asked Shi Ci, "You are just about to make breakfast?"
Shi Ci hummed and asked, "Then shall I make some breakfast and cook some glutinous rice balls to eat together?"
"Let me help you." Chen Yiyi followed him in and watched the bread machine toasting toast. She was frying ham and bacon, cracking an egg, and there was a sizzling sound in the pan.
There were also some fruits and vegetables next to it, as well as a bag of freshly taken out dumplings.
"This... Are you eating alone?" Chen Yiyi helped her wash the fruit and glanced at it, "Also..."
She was about to laugh at her increased appetite. Shi Ci arranged the dishes and chuckled, "Of course I'm not the only one eating..."
Chen Yiyi's heart skipped a beat.
Shi Ci put the dumplings into the boiling water. Steam rose up. She stepped back slightly and smiled faintly, "She's still asleep."
Chen Yiyi was not uncommon to see Shi Ci's smile. She was a person who loved to laugh. She was bright, confident and proud. But when she talked about the people she liked, her smile was even more gentle and affectionate.
I haven't heard such a smile for a long time.
That was when Qiao Sha was still around.
Chen Yiyi only felt that the moisture floating in the air also entered her eyes. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her brain seemed to rust all of a sudden.
Shi Ci's face seemed to turn towards her. She looked at the fire and said, "I remember that you don't celebrate traditional festivals very often."
Chen Yiyi pulled the corners of his lips and showed a smile that was not quite a smile, "You don't want to pass it either, right? After all, you don't like sweet food."
Shi Ci paused, opened the lid, and stirred the dumplings gently to let them turn over. The steam enveloped them again. Shi Ci thought of the pumpkin meatballs and the fresh taro soup he had eaten with Tang Zuo before.
“It’s not that I can’t eat anything sweet at all,” she said.
Chen Yiyi didn't say anything. When she came to her senses, Shi Ci had already cooked the dumplings, but her fruit was not yet ready.
"Leave it there, you go sit down, I'll take it." Shi Ci took a look.
"I'm just sitting around doing nothing." Chen Yiyi didn't listen to her and picked up an avocado.
Shi Ci stopped trying to persuade her and instead paid attention to other things. She said, "Oh, it's too early to cook the dumplings. Forget it. Just scoop them up first." She scooped them up and put them away, then said to Chen Yiyi, "I'll go wake her up." After washing her hands carefully, she walked out of the kitchen.
Chen Yiyi cut the avocado open, and the huge pit was like a ruthless and cold eye, ignoring her.
In her field of vision, the long and flowing hem of Shi Ci's cardigan brushed past her trouser legs, but it seemed like just an illusion.
She was distracted for a moment, and for some unknown reason she put down the fruit and walked towards the bedroom.
The door was not closed tightly, and a slight push would open a small gap.
I couldn't see the bed, I could only hear Shi Ci's voice, very softly, "Chirp..."
What's this name
Chen Yiyi exhaled, pushed the door open a little, found the right angle, and saw a part of the bed.
The one with his back to her was Shi Ci, who seemed to be holding someone in his arms. Shi Ci spoke softly to her, but she couldn't hear clearly. Then Shi Ci lowered her head, and after a second or two, the girl in his arms hugged her neck.
Chen Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned her eyes away. After several seconds, she turned her head to look in that direction again.
Still need confirmation? Still not convinced
Shi Ci really has a girlfriend.
At this time, the girl in Shi Ci's arms seemed embarrassed and moved away. Chen Yiyi immediately looked at her face, and at the same time, the girl also saw her.
Chen Yiyi's heart skipped a beat, and she was somewhat certain that it was indeed this girl. Their eyes met in mid-air, and Chen Yiyi retreated.
"What's wrong?" Shi Ci noticed that Tang Zuo's expression froze.
"Is there anyone outside?"
"Oh, I was just about to tell you that my friend Chen Yiyi is here," Shi Ci said apologetically, "She came over so suddenly, and I couldn't let her go..."
Tang Zhuo blinked, Chen Yiyi...
"Get up and have breakfast. I'll ask her to leave early, okay? It's just the two of us..." Shi Ci bit her ear lightly.
Tang Zuo tried to hide for a moment, but failed. He looked at her and said, "..."
"What?" Shi Ci thought her slightly angry and shy look was so adorable that he couldn't help but move closer to her.
"Hey... I haven't even brushed my teeth..." Tang Zuo blushed and hid, "Get out now, don't keep your friends waiting too long..."
Shi Ci chuckled a few times and ruffled her hair, "I put your clothes in the bathroom, you can change." Tang Zuo's nightgown was too short.
"Yeah." Tang Zuo climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom.
Shi Ci looked at her figure with his lips curled up.
After a while, at the table in the restaurant, Shi Ci and Tang Zuo sat on the same side, and Chen Yiyi sat opposite them.
The breakfast was very rich. Tang Zuo lowered his head to eat, while Chen Yiyi and Shi Ci chatted occasionally, but mostly in silence.
Chen Yiyi looked at Tang Zuo and asked with a smile, "What grade is Miss Tang in?"
"Junior year, 21 years old." Tang Zuo replied without much emotion. He had been asked this question before, so he just answered his age as well.
“…” Chen Yiyi smiled again and stared at Shi Ci.
Shi Ci looked at her and said, "Eat your dumplings. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Chen Yiyi smiled faintly, "I'm not Sister Miu."
Shi Ci actually laughed.
Chen Yiyi then said to Tang Zhuo, "Shi Cishi and I have known each other for nearly 20 years, almost catching up with your age."
Shi Ci retorted, "Not that long... You make me sound too old."
Chen Yiyi smiled, her bangs swayed, and the corners of her eyes suddenly released a rare charm, which complemented her heroic short hair and was hard to ignore. "You are old, I am old too, we are the same."
Tang Zhao looked down at the dumplings on the plate, picked one up and put it in her mouth, and suddenly choked. Shi Ci handed her his juice and said, "Drink a sip."
Tang Zuo took a big sip, frowned, and finally swallowed it, with the corners of his eyes slightly red.
"You're eating so fast..." Shi Ci gently put his arm around her shoulders. Tang Zhuo pursed his lips and turned to smile at her.
Chen Yiyi's eyes moved back and forth between them several times, and finally cast on her own bowl. She had not touched a glutinous rice ball since she had just eaten it, and the rest were left in the bowl. One of them had broken, and a little sesame filling floated in the soup, ruining the whiteness of the whole bowl.
Chen Yiyi picked up the spoon and scooped up a dumpling but didn't intend to eat it. She lowered her eyes, as if reminiscing, and said, "I remember Aunt Ding could make delicious handmade dumplings. I ate them at your house a few times..."
She looked at Tang Zuo, "Oh, we were high school classmates, so it's not 20 years, but at least 15 years."
Tang Zhao raised her eyelashes and did not avoid her gaze. Compared with the one or two seconds of staring at each other in the bedroom just now, she was more calm and not timid. She could easily detect other people's hostility towards her, but she was not afraid of hostility from strangers. She had experienced the most difficult and hardship.
Chen Yiyi's words made the atmosphere a little cold.
Tang Zhuo felt Shi Ci's hand fall from her shoulder to her waist. At this moment, she felt more at ease. She smiled and said, "Yes, Aunt Ding is a good cook. The bamboo noodles she cooks are also delicious. Have you tried them?"
Chen Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll try it next time."
Shi Ci raised his eyebrows and smiled at Tang Zhao, "If Ms. Ding heard you praising her, I don't know how happy she would be."
Chen Yiyi asked again, "You are an English major, do you plan to teach or do foreign trade?"
This time Tang Zhao smiled with a slightly curved brow, "No, I plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and I will be a translator."
Shi Ci nodded approvingly and said, "Your grades are good enough to get into graduate school."
Tang Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "The notification of the postgraduate admission qualification from the academy has not come out yet, but even if I can't be admitted, I can still take the exam."
Shi Ci stroked her hair and leaned close to her ear, "Of course, Chu Chu is the best."
Tang Zuo thought she was going to bite her ear again, in front of others, so she blushed and stepped back, glaring at Shi Ci.
Shi Ci laughed.
Ever since Chen Yiyi met Tang Zuo, in her impression, this little girl was like a taciturn person who only observed the outside world with a pair of watery eyes. Her expression was distant and she seemed to have a cold temper. But as soon as she saw Shi Ci, those eyes immediately became lively and tender, as if they were telling something at any time, making it impossible to distract people from other things around them.
Chen Yiyi recalled the time when she chatted with Sister Miu, and Sister Miu said that the little girl was not simple, and Shi Ci was probably really moved. She became curious, how was she not simple, she had been testing her since just now, at such a young age, she might not be able to fit into Shi Ci's circle of friends. Little lovers are not scary, they are relatively easy to deal with, the difference in experience caused by the age difference is like a mountain that cannot be crossed, and a slight mention can break down their inner defenses.
But the girl didn't even think about crossing over. She just climbed up directly, very calmly.
Chen Yiyi felt heavy-hearted and looked at Shi Ci involuntarily. She was looking at Tang Zuo with a smile on her face. She picked up a dumpling from her bowl and took a bite.
Tang Zuo: "...Aren't you full?" She glanced at the untouched glutinous rice balls in Shi Ci's bowl, "You still have glutinous rice balls in your bowl."
Shi Ci winked at her, his tone was clearly soft and gentle, "I don't like sweet things, you eat it for me..."
Tang Zhao pursed her lips and watched her take another bite of the dumpling. Her cheeks were a little puffy, her eyebrows were tender, but her expression was pure childish. She had no choice but to move her bowl in front of her.
Chen Yiyi, who was sitting opposite, looked at the scene in front of her, and an indescribable feeling filled her heart.
