One day in late July, it was cloudy and muggy.
The summer in S City is very uncomfortable. Unlike the dry heat in the north, the hot weather here is often accompanied by bursts of hot flashes. If you walk around outside the air-conditioned room, your whole body will immediately become sticky. sticky.
On this day, Wang Xu, who was already sweating profusely from cycling under the sun, rang the doorbell of Yan Li's house.
Yanli's home is in the east of the urban area. It is a relatively high-end residential area. There are eight floors in a building, and there is only one unit on each floor. The person who answered the door was a red-haired foreign aunt. Wang Xu basically knew everything about Yan Li like the back of his hand, so he could call out the aunt's name.
"You must be Aunt Vibia, I'm Yan Li's classmate, hello!" Wang Xu greeted politely.
This Aunt Vibia is Yan Li's distant relative, because her mother is busy with work and rarely comes home, so Aunt Vibia has always been taking care of Miss Yan in her daily life. As for why Yanli has such a foreign relative, it's actually very simple. Her grandmother is an authentic Greek, so she also has a quarter of Greek blood, and her long wine-red hair is not actually dyed.
The other party sized Wang Xu up, and the look in his eyes could be described as glaring: "Are you Wang Xu?"
Wang Xu nodded: "Yes."
"Hmm..." Aunt Vibia started an unbelievably wretched smile: "Oh kakakka... come here, please come in, please come in."
Wang Xu walked in rather cautiously, and put on slippers.
Yan Li was sitting on the sofa in the living room, still wearing pajamas and pajamas, watching TV with a bored expression. Seeing Wang Xu coming in, she didn't make much movement, but asked calmly, "You're coming?"
"Well... here it is..." Wang Xu replied, but he was distracted: You don't change your clothes from waking up to going to bed, and you play decadently in a room with central air conditioning, isn't it just the nerds in our nerd world? Is it an advanced state...
Aunt Yang's creepy laughter came again, "Oh, click, click, have fun with your little classmates. Auntie is going home first today." Put on an apron, put on a coat and walk towards the gate: "Bye!"
"Goodbye, auntie." Yan Li was still listless, and her voice was like swallowing water.
Wang Xu was a little confused about the situation, because it was Yan Li who called him today, but now the other party was in a drowsy state, and he didn't know what was going on.
When the sound of the gate and the iron gate being closed was heard, Yan Li finally said: "It is said that I am going home, but my aunt actually lives downstairs."
"I know, you are on the eighth floor, she is on the seventh floor..."
"But don't worry, she won't disturb us tonight."
The moment Wang Xu heard this sentence, it was as if his heart had been pierced by a bullet. The blood gushed out of his veins like a burst. Almost two seconds later, this guy blushed, his neck was thick, and he was extremely excited. , his jaw trembling a little: "You you... you... you... what do you want to do?!"
Yan Li glanced at him, but she looked very calm: "Oh? You don't know yet?"
"I, I... I, I... What do I know..." He trembled more and more: "Or what should I know?"
Yan Li smiled for the first time today, and her cat-like eyes stared at Wang Xu's face maliciously: "You don't know anything?"
Wang Xu, a person who has obviously been seriously delusional, once again gave a very shameless answer: "Actually... I know what I should know, but there has never been a chance to combine theory and practice."
"What are you talking about?" Yan Li said, "Today is your birthday, do you remember it?"
"Ah? So you want to help me celebrate my birthday?" Wang Xu really forgot her own birthday.
"Then what do you think I'm talking about?"
"Hmm..." Wang Xu was trying to cover up what he said and did just now, but what sounded in his head was this voice: At this time, don't worry, just find a crack in the ground...
Yan Li smiled slyly again: "What else are you thinking? Can I not see what you misunderstood just now?"
"Hey..." Wang Xu sighed, and sat on the sofa next to Yanli: "Isn't it fun?"
"Hey... It's okay, the reaction is even cuter than I imagined."
"Insidious...you woman."
"Then let me kiss you, don't be angry, okay?"
"What?!" He almost rolled off the sofa to the floor.
"I lied to you."
Wang Xu clenched his fist with one hand, trembling all over: "It's too insidious...you woman..."
Yan Li stopped teasing him, looked at the clock on the wall and said: "It's almost four o'clock, I'm going to prepare dinner. You can eat ready-made ones today."
"When will Master Cat, Qi Bing, and Yu Xin come?" He picked up the remote control on the coffee table and kept pressing the channel change button as if he was at home.
"They all said they're not free and won't come." Yan Li put on an apron in the kitchen and started to work.
Wang Xu almost crushed the remote control in his hand: "Are you kidding me again?"
"I didn't tease you, it's true, they couldn't tell, and they asked me to wish you a happy birthday for them, all the gifts were brought in advance."
Several thoughts flashed through Wang Xu's mind, then he took out his mobile phone, quickly typed a text message and sent it to Mr. Cat, the content was: Everyone is "not available", maybe you arranged it
It took almost less than ten seconds for the other party to reply with four words—repeat again.
With tears in Wang Xu's eyes, he clenched his hands into fists and said to himself, "Well done... Scumbag, how reliable your talent is at this moment!!"
…
I was busy until seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky was already dark, Yan Li finally got everything ready. During the period, although Wang Xu wanted to help in the kitchen several times, he was kicked out by others.
She unbuttoned her apron, and although her face was a little tired, she still gave Wang Xu the most beautiful smile: "I'm going to change clothes, please wait for me a little longer."
Wang Xu only said softly: "Go."
At this moment, looking at her back, Wang Xu felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Perhaps, the feeling at this moment was happiness.
Yan Li didn't keep Wang Xu waiting too long, she changed into a dress, arranged her hair, and walked out of the room without putting on any makeup. But Wang Xu felt that Yanli tonight was the most beautiful, more charming than anything he had ever seen.
They sat at the dining table, looking at the table of exquisite dishes, it was really hard for Wang Xu to imagine that they were prepared by this young lady who had never cooked in the past twenty years.
But good-looking is good-looking, and the taste... To be honest, it can't be called bad. After all, cooking is not something that can be greatly improved in a short period of time, not to mention that Senior Sister Yan has never done this before, so it would be great to be able to cook this table.
The two of them drank some red wine, and a blush quickly flew to the beauty's cheeks: "If it's not delicious, don't force yourself to eat too much, just eat the cake later."
"No, it's delicious. It's better than mine."
"Okay, I know the taste of what I make myself best." She was blunt.
Wang Xu smiled, "Okay, except for the curry, everything else is average." He leaned forward and said, "Hey~ But this curry is obviously much more delicious than other dishes, shouldn't it be Is it takeaway?"
Yan Li picked up a spoon and tapped Wang Xu's head lightly: "Take out your head! I know you like curry the most. You have practiced this dish for a long time!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Xu took the opportunity to grab her hand and didn't let go: "I know... I know..."
Of course he knew, as soon as he came here today, he noticed that Mr. President's hands that were originally like peeling onions and with smooth skin were full of small incisions and burns that hadn't fully healed. Although in order not to let Wang Xu notice, she specially tore off the band-aid, and she always tucked her hands in the sleeves of her pajamas...
Wang Xu moved the stool and sat beside Yan Li, "Sister Yan."
"Let go of your hand." Yan Li glared at him.
In the end, Wang Xu actually pulled her other hand over and held it together: "Don't even think about it..."
Yan Li looked into his eyes: "Then you still call me Senior Sister Yan?"
Wang Xu thought about it, she was right, before Yan Li's father left, her surname was Ding, what was her nickname
He chuckled: "Li'er, I have a question for you."
"I'll listen first, and I'll have to think about whether to answer or not." Yan Li seemed to have completely ignored the problem of being held by someone.
At this time, Wang Xu asked a very surprising question, "You said that if one day I became bald, would you still like me?"
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point in an instant, Yan Li withdrew her hands, and said with vacant eyes: "I have scissors in my room, how about I try to shave your head?"
