Fall asleep

Chapter 2

It is only a 10-minute walk from the research institute to Su Mian's residence, but at this moment during the rush hour, Pei Shiyin's car was blocked on the road.

The horns of various vehicles are mixed outside the car, and the noise value on the roadside noise board fluctuates up and down.

Su Mian looked up at the long motorcade, turned around, took out the computer from her bag and put it on her lap, and turned on her phone's hotspot along the way.

The temperature in the car was very low, Pei Shiyin played a fast-paced English song, Su Mian waited for the computer to turn on, and hummed along.

"are you hungry?"

Pei Shiyin asked a question, and Su Mian wanted to answer, but she took a breath and sneezed.

Su Mian sniffed: "Not hungry yet."

Pei Shiyin turned up the temperature of the air conditioner and asked, "Have you caught a cold?"

Su Mian sniffed: "No."

Pei Shiyin turned up the temperature of the air conditioner again, and said, "Auntie is already cooking, you can take a shower when you go back, and I'll make fried meatloaf for you after washing."

Su Mian hummed, touched the touchpad to open the mailbox, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry."

Pei Shiyin raised her head slightly and glanced at Su Mian in the rearview mirror.

Su Mian had received several emails in the past few days, and they were all lying on the computer screen at the moment. She glanced at them and clicked on the one sent to her by her tutor.

It was a revision opinion for her thesis. Su Mian read it carefully one by one, and even read the important ones in a low voice.

After reading it all over, she pursed her lips and nodded, only to find that the car had already left the crowded street when she looked up.

"Did you talk to me just now?" Su Mian picked up the phone and leaned forward: "I'm reading my tutor's email."

She heard Pei Shiyin sigh, and said with helplessness: "My mother will return to China next week, and she asked if you are free to have a meal with her."

Su Mian thought about it seriously.

She stepped back and sat down, closed the document sent by the tutor, and said, "Next week? I may not have time next week, and I will go to the countryside of S city next Tuesday."

Pei Shiyin asked: "To S city? Why didn't you tell me?"

Su Mian lowered her head and sent a message to her tutor, saying, "It was decided in the past few days, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Pei Shiyin: "How long?"

Su Mian: "Hmm..."

Su Mian fell silent again, and Pei Shiyin looked up at her again, and saw that she was looking down at the phone with a serious expression.

Not long after, she finally put away her phone and looked up.

"How long will it be?" Su Mian repeated, thinking for a while: "3 days."

Su Mian opened another unread email, and the car fell silent again.

Su Mian was serious about her work and couldn't do it at the same time. Seeing this, Pei Shiyin didn't talk to her too much.

Not long after, the car drove to the downstairs of the community. Su Mian was stopped by the brakes, looked up, and then put away the computer and pulled up the bag. After carrying the bag, Pei Shiyin had already opened the rear door.

Su Mian stepped on the ground with one foot, suddenly thought of something, looked up at Pei Shiyin beside her, and asked, "Can next week be okay?"

If Pei Shiyin didn't know Su Mian too well, it might be difficult for other people to react immediately based on the brain circuit of others. Su Mian's words were answering the question about her mother.

Su Mian added, "I should be able to have dinner with your mother next week."

Pei Shiyin nodded: "It's okay, we'll talk about it later."

Su Mian got out of the car, closed the door and smiled shyly at Pei Shiyin: "Wouldn't this be bad, let the elders cooperate with my time?"

Pei Shiyin shook her head, this time she didn't give Su Mian a chance to hide, she just reached out and touched her head: "No, she is very free."

As for why Pei Shiyin's mother wanted to have dinner with Su Mian, Su Mian didn't think too much about it, nor did she find it strange.

Since elementary school, her grades have been top-notch, and she has never dropped out of the top ten. She was recommended for junior high school, high school, university, and graduate school. She was completely a child of someone else's family.

It's just that she is good-looking, well-behaved, and she is very sincere when she asks a question, without deep thoughts. Such a child is naturally loved by all kinds of elders,

It is common to be coaxed by parents to stay for dinner with classmates, and it is also common to be specially invited to sit at a classmate's house.

So Su Mian was already used to the love of elders.

Although she doesn't like to talk very much, and she doesn't take the initiative to stir up topics, but the labels on her are enough, just sitting is very likable.

Coupled with Su Mian's kindness and not being very good at rejecting people's temperament, she grew up so much, she has eaten a lot of meals from the elders, and has heard many praises from the elders.

When I got home, I opened the door, and the aroma of the food wafted out, and the auntie stewed the soup. Seeing the two of them coming back, she went out of the kitchen to exchange greetings, and then went back to put the cut fish into the pot.

Su Mian didn't say much, put the bag back in the room and went to take a shower.

Half an hour later, she came out of the bathroom. The aunt had already left, and Pei Shiyin was in the kitchen. She looked at Pei Shiyin's back, tucked the towel on her head tightly and walked in.

"Let's start." Su Mian went into the kitchen and said something, and helped Pei Shiyin turn on the range hood.

Pei Shiyin hummed, glanced at the pot, and poured the prepared meat and eggs into it.

The meat and eggs collided with the hot oil, making a hungry sizzling sound. Su Mian licked her lips and heard Pei Shiyin say, "I haven't done it for a long time."

Su Mian smiled: "It's okay, I will finish eating."

Pei Shiyin actually doesn't know how to cook, she can't even make the most basic noodles well, but Su Mian doesn't know why, Pei Shiyin can make pan fried meat pies.
