Kill crazy! The real daughter rushed to rectify the rich family!

Autumn is high and fresh.

The blue sky stretches all the way to the end of the mountains.

The setting sun was blocked by clouds, making the light in the surroundings clear.

White mist was floating in the yard. A group of greedy and noisy people holding bowls were gathered around the boiling iron pot.

It was just an ordinary hotpot base, but it smelled so good that Zhou Song began to doubt his own nose.

"Strange, have I ever thought hot pot smelled so good before?"

"Maybe their base sauce is very special." Xu Yang held the bowl and stared at the plate of beef being put into the pot, swallowing his saliva.

Tu Wan added more plates to the table and glanced at Xu Yang. "What's special? This is what Qu Wu bought at a roadside supermarket. It's ten yuan for a big bag. This is the effect of the filter."

The basin of cold water obviously had no effect on them. The two of them were still staring at the big pot, just like the children at another table who were also ready for action.

Tu Wan: ...

When all kinds of meat slices began to boil in the spicy and fiery red soup, the diners also became excited and chopsticks flew everywhere.

Tu Wan, who had just poured cold water on Xu Yang and the others, also joined the scramble.

"Ah! This is the tripe I just blanched!" Lin Xinzhou stared at Xu Yang in disbelief.

Xu Yang ate the tripe quickly with an expressionless face.

"Who took my beef away?" Zhou Song frowned and took another piece.

"You kids, you're in such a hurry to eat hotpot, you look like starving ghosts." Old man Sun condemned while using his chopsticks to pile food into his bowl with great experience.

Amid the flames of war, Ye Kong enjoyed a bowl of fried wontons in front of him alone.

It was brought back by Qu Wu for her. After being re-fried by Aunt Chen in the cafeteria, it was still as fresh, fragrant and crispy as if it had just come out of the pan. She also shared some with Wen Can.

"Try it. I loved eating it when I was a kid."

Wen Can silently ate two fried wontons, then looked at the large iron pot that was quickly emptied and then quickly filled up, turned his head to look at Ye Kong, and couldn't help asking: "Don't you like hot pot?"

"No, I like eating."

"Then why aren't you in a hurry at all?" Wen Can picked up the chopsticks, hesitated a little, but finally reached out to the iron pot firmly and snatched a piece of fish fillet from Qu Wu.

Qu Wu raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry, but when he saw that the fish fillet fell into Ye Kong's bowl, he calmed down, pouted and went back to fighting.

Ye Kong lowered his head to glance at the spicy and tender fish fillets in the bowl, and a faint light gradually rose in his eyes.

She ate the fish quickly and said, "I want more."

"..." Wen Can, who was about to put down his chopsticks, had to ask, "What else do you want to eat?"

"beef."

Wen Can picked up a piece for her.

"Lamb roll."

Wen Can gave her another perm.

“Lots and lots of beef—I love all kinds of meat.”

Wen Can: ...

Mr. Wen rolled up his sleeves expressionlessly and elegantly, picked up his chopsticks, and officially joined the battle.

All the second generation of Yuzhou who saw Wen Can rolling up his sleeves expressionlessly to grab the meat from the big iron pot: ...? ? ?

"My hands suddenly feel itchy."

Zhou Song stared at the pot, his lips moving slightly, and only the two people on his left and right could hear what he said.

Tu Wan immediately stepped aside in disgust: "Didn't you wash your hands?"

"No." Zhou Song said, "I can't resist the urge to take pictures with my phone. My hands are itching."

Tu Wan: ...

·

The yard was very lively.

The aroma of hot pot drifted into the deserted cafeteria.

Yuan Xiaoqi, who was also eating, couldn't help but look in the direction where the laughter came from.

Before she turned her head back, she heard Yuan Ye, who was eating seriously with his eyes downcast, suddenly say, "You can also go out and join them."

Yuan Xiaoqi turned his head back suddenly and said quickly: "No need!"

Yuan Ye seemed to be serious. He looked up at her and said, "You don't have to worry about being excluded. Ye Kong is not that kind of person."

"It doesn't matter what kind of person she is! I don't like hot pot, I just like fried rice!" Yuan Xiaoqi took a big bite and picked up another dish with chopsticks. "Pickled cucumbers are delicious? Fried beef is also delicious! They are all my favorite dishes!"

Yuanye:......

After watching the girl take several fierce bites, he said quietly, "You ate the cilantro."

Yuan Xiaoqi: ...

The girl's body stiffened, she turned her head and made a retching expression, then began to drink water frantically.

Yuan Ye then started eating again, and said calmly as he ate, "You don't have to worry about me. Go when you want to go, eat when you want to eat. I'm not made of porcelain, so you don't have to be so cautious about my expression."

"I'm not looking at your face."

The girl drank more than half a glass of water before she came to her senses. She picked up the chopsticks listlessly and said, "I just wanted to accompany you. I just like eating with you."

After a pause, she perked up again and looked across with bright eyes: "Besides, you are my brother, I will stand with you no matter when and where!"

She moved closer to Yuanye, stared into his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother, I will always be on your side!"

Yuanye's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly stopped.

He looked at the smiling face in front of him, and the image of another person suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Anyway, I'm in the same group with you. If you want to go, I'll go."

——But she is far less cute and lovable than the Yuan Xiaoqi in front of you, who will look at you warmly with her eyes open.

Even when the girl said such nice words, her face was cold and she looked indifferent. Her eyes were dark and chilly, like stars falling into a well on a summer night. One look at them made me feel my heart falling into the water.

——In fact, this is not what I said to him.

The personal perspective in his memory was broadened and distanced, and what he saw and heard was the girl talking to another person.

That person looked exactly like him, but was much more mature and cheerful than him, and his smile was both ruffian and unrestrained.

They were always together, like the best and most tacit brother and sister in the world.

And he is just a third-party perspective forever.

He couldn't join in their laughter, nor their noise, and even when they were in a cold war he couldn't act as a peacemaker.

Do you believe that there are really souls in the world who understand each other, like twins? Even if they are not of the same age, even if they are not related by blood, even if they are just strangers sent from heaven?

……

"Brother? Brother!"

The girl's hands waved in front of him and were grabbed by Yuanye.

Yuan Xiaoqi was startled, but saw the young man looking at her with a pale face.

She was stunned - this look was not unfamiliar.

Every time Yuan Ye comes out of the psychiatrist's office, he always has this look in his eyes.

But at this moment...it's clear that nothing happened?

Yuan Xiaoqi was very confused.

Yuanye had already let her go and lowered his head to continue eating.

"Thank you for always standing by my side," the young man said, "but I actually hope you can stand by your side more."

"Xiao Qi, you like hot pot the most, so don't lie next time."

Yuan Xiaoqi: ...

But she still didn't go out.

The noisy chatter and laughter in the yard mixed in the air, flowing in continuously along with the sound of the wind and the gurgling sound of the red soup boiling.

The dining table, where only two people were sitting opposite each other, seemed even quieter and colder.

But Yuanye was like a man covered in a shell, standing still in the midst of the hustle and bustle, thinking about the big thing he was going to do in the evening - he could not tell anyone about this, not even Xiaoqi could know. But Xiaoqi slept next to him and had always been a light sleeper. When would it be safer for him to come out?
