Siheyuan: Cooking journey

originally.

He Yuzhu is quite confident.

But when he thought of Ye Shan's abnormal behavior after entering the house and so many coincidences, he began to feel unsure again.

Knock, knock. There was a sudden knock on the door.

He Yuzhu subconsciously glanced at the door, said nothing, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.

There were only two of them in the room, who would knock on the door?

The answer is obvious, who else could it be other than Ye Shan.

Knock knock, the sound of knocking on the door came along with Ye Shan's cold words.

"Are you asleep?"

This question is really weird.

If I really fell asleep, I would definitely be woken up.

If you are not woken up, it means you didn't hear it and naturally you won't reply.

He Yuzhu muttered in his heart, rubbed his eyebrows, thought for a while and said, "What's the matter?"

"I've had insomnia in recent days. I finally fell asleep, but your phone call woke me up. Now I can't fall asleep again. Can I talk to you?"

The door creaked open.

The room was somewhat dim, and the corridor was equally dark.

He Yuzhu vaguely saw a figure enter the room.

Now that people have come in, how can I refuse?

He Yuzhu vaguely felt that Ye Shan might have discovered something and was testing him.

He sat up from the bed, leaned his back against the headboard, and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Actually, I'm not sure either..."

With a hint of confusion in her tone, Ye Shan sat down on one side of the tatami and said nothing more.

The room was quiet.

I could vaguely see her figure.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't know what to say, why don't you go back and rest."

Regardless of whether Ye Shan noticed anything or not, she didn't say it directly when they met. It was obvious that she just had some doubts and was not particularly sure. At this time, it would be better to say less, and it would not be appropriate to say too much.

He Yuzhu plans to wait and see.

"I may not be able to sleep when I go back..."

Ye Shan asked in a low voice, "Do you still remember Wang Xuan?"

"Remember……"

He Yuzhu felt a little strange. He had recommended the doctor's skills to Ye Shan before, and pretended to be regretful and said, "I told you a while ago that he is a very good Chinese medicine doctor. I also wanted him to meet you and help Miss Xia Mu treat her illness. But I didn't hear from him later. I'm really sorry for you."

"I have asked someone to talk to him about this, and I believe there will be news soon. I will contact you again when I get a reply." Ye Shan was silent for a moment and didn't say much. The room became quiet again.

After a while.

Ye Shan whispered, "No need, I met him a few days ago and asked him to treat Yazi."

"seen it already?"

He Yuzhu pretended to be surprised.

"Yes, I have."

Ye Shan's voice was calm, with no emotion in her voice. "In fact, we knew each other a long time ago, but then separated for a while. If you hadn't suggested that I help him, we might not have met again. So, thank you so much for introducing me to him."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met him."

Does it sound like an old flame has been rekindled?

He Yuzhu didn't know what to say for a moment.

After Ye Shan said this, she didn't say anything else, and the air in the room fell silent again.

Time passed quietly.

He Yuzhu stared at her back quietly.

Slowly my eyes adjusted to the dim light. Although I still couldn't see her face clearly, I could vaguely see that she was sitting with her legs bent.

"Do you want to know how I met him? Our story?" Ye Shan suddenly asked.

He Yuzhu didn't say anything. In fact, he wasn't very interested and felt that there was nothing special about their story. But these were all things that happened when he was in another identity. According to his current identity, he should not be aware of these experiences.

Under normal circumstances, you should be curious, right?

I was hesitating whether to answer.

Ye Shan continued, "If you count carefully, the time we spent together was less than a week, but I will never forget this experience."

Could you please stop talking like that? It sounds like a lot of things really happened.

This sentence left He Yuzhu completely confused and he didn't know how to respond.

"He was a nasty, mean man."

Ye Shan raised her voice, "He already has a family, but he is still entangled with other women in Japan, but..."

After a pause, Ye Shan said self-deprecatingly: "Even though I knew he was such a despicable man and I knew I wasn't the only one, I still fell in love with him. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"you like him!"

He Yuzhu widened his eyes in surprise.

He wondered why Ye Shan was so proactive, perhaps to treat Xia Muya's illness, or for some other reason, but he never expected to hear such an unexpected answer from Ye Shan.

He Yuzhu was surprised and didn't believe it at all.

Ma Jia's appearance is very ordinary. He and Ye Shan were also very confrontational during their acquaintance. They only spent a few days together. How could they develop feelings for each other in such a short time? Is Ye Shan a vain person?

Obviously not. Ye Shan has a cold personality and is not someone who is easily moved.

Although he and Yukiko Nakamori got together shortly after they met.

But He Yuzhu knew that Nakamori Yukiko was not the type to fall in love with anyone casually. The reason for their relationship at that time was largely because he saved her.

Although he had saved Ye Shan before, the situation was completely different.

There were not many conflicts between him and Yukiko Nakamori, but he ruined Ye Shan's plan. Ye Shan even wanted to kill him to silence him, and after saving her, he was humiliated in various ways. After going through so much, how could he still say he liked her?

He Yuzhu guessed that Ye Shan might have discovered something and was testing him, so she said that.

"Why do you like him?"

He Yuzhu asked curiously, really wanting to know how Ye Shan would explain.

"I don't know why I like him."

"Maybe it was because when we first met, I felt that his eyes were bright and clear, and he was always calm, and he didn't feel disgusted by the scar on his face. I'm used to being looked at differently, but I feel a little uncomfortable with this feeling of being looked at flatly. I always feel that he is different."

"It may also be because he saved me. He saved me when I was about to give up my life, so it's easy for me to have a good impression of him because of this."

"Maybe he really knows me very well, better than I understand myself. As a woman, when I meet such a man, I must hate him but also feel grateful to him. Especially when he saved my life, I feel even more conflicted."

"I haven't found a definite answer. I just thought that since he saved my life, I should just consider it as a favor. If he wants, I can give it to him."

"I didn't expect he would refuse."

"What does this make me think? I really don't know what to do."

"I do want to repay him for saving my life, but I also plan to kill him when he lets down his guard."

"In the end, I didn't have the chance to do it, which was a pity. In the end, he let me go and fell into confusion again."

"Maybe it's because I feel guilty for the evil thoughts I have towards him."

"It could also be the resentment and jealousy I felt when I saw him with other women. Unconsciously, I always think of him."

"The more I think about it, the more I feel accustomed to his presence."

"Once you get used to it, you'll miss it more."

"I want to see him, but I'm also afraid to meet him. I feel so conflicted."

"Every time I think of him being intimate with other women, I feel inexplicably painful and unwilling, and I worry that he will completely forget me."

"I can't say exactly when I fell in love with her."

"The reason why I like it is also unclear."

“It seems to have been in my heart without me even realizing it.”

“The funny thing is, when I treated him with no reservations, he once again said no.”

"But he refused. I still can't forget him."

"You think I'm mean and shameless, don't you?"

Ye Shan chuckled at herself.

He Yuzhu listened quietly, not knowing how to respond, nor able to tell how much truth there was in Ye Shan's words. The whole room suddenly became quiet.

Even the sound of breathing disappeared.

Suddenly, Ye Shan's voice came with a slight tremor.

"Assuming you are that man, can you help me analyze from a male perspective why he clearly seemed to be attracted to me but still rejected me?"

He Yuzhu took a deep breath.

The atmosphere in the room became somewhat depressing.

"Is it because of the scar on my face that I'm not so attractive? You don't like it, do you?"

There was a sense of loss in Ye Shan's tone, as if she was talking to herself.

"But if you really don't like me, why do you have feelings for me? If you have feelings for me, why do you push me away?"

He Yuzhu didn't say anything, mainly because he didn't know what to say.

Ye Shan stopped talking and the room fell into silence again.

Time passes quietly.

He Yuzhu looked at her back and felt a little distressed. This was not a solution. After thinking for a long time, he said to her, "Miss Ye, you also said that the man was already married, but he was still looking for another woman. This can only show that he is a passionate and irresponsible person. This kind of man is not a good partner at all, he is just a bad person. This kind of person is not worth staying with."

"Don't think too much about it. This may not be a bad thing for you. It will be dawn in a few hours. Go back and have a good sleep. Maybe you will feel much better when you wake up."

Oh, it’s such a headache.

He Yuzhu felt helpless, but he had to belittle himself, which was really uncomfortable.

"No, what you said is wrong."

Ye Shan's tone became a little excited.

"If he was a frivolous, lecherous man, he wouldn't have said no the first time I teased him!"

"And if you were really an irresponsible person, you wouldn't have pushed me away the second time."

"On the contrary, because he was able to exercise restraint every time, it shows how noble his character is. He is a good man with a sense of responsibility."

"How many men can resist temptation like this?"
