unexpected rain

"Xie Zhaofeng and Qiao Nuo?" Lin Ji asked in surprise, "Why did you let them come to my house for dinner?"

"Because Xie Zhaofeng asked me to go out to eat tonight, but I want to eat at your house." Xiang Shi said expressionlessly, "You don't want to?"

"It's not that I don't want to." Lin Ji said, "If our relationship is exposed, don't you mind?"

"I don't mind." Xiang Shifang said.

This answer made Lin Ji feel warm in his heart, "Xie Zhaofeng already knew, what about Qiao Nuo?"

"She shouldn't know about it." Xiang Shifang said, otherwise, he wouldn't have confessed to Lin Ji, and he would have come to Yong City instead of going to a company that was gaining momentum.

"This is not easy..." Lin Ji squeezed his chin and thought, "Shifang, why don't we tell her first, you know, Qiao Nuo is a girl with strong self-esteem, if she suddenly knows her first love Boyfriend and uh..." He didn't know how to describe himself.

"With someone she likes." Xiang Shifang said coldly.

"In short, it will definitely hit her." Lin Ji said.

"So, you chose to give up our relationship for her feelings?" Xiang Shifang looked at him coldly.

"Don't overplay, I didn't say give up!" Lin Ji said, "Jiao Nuo has been your friend for so many years, I don't want to spoil or break up your friendship because of this, so let's keep it a secret for a while, wait until she hands over Tell her after you have a boyfriend, huh?"

"It's really long-winded." Xiang Shifang muttered.

Lin Ji also took his hand, kissed the back of his hand flatteringly, and looked at him with crooked eyes.

Xiang Shifang flicked Xia Linji's glasses and drove home.

After Lin sat down, he thought of a puzzling thing. He muttered: "How could Xie Zhaofeng's big mouth not tell Qiao Nuo..."

Back home, my aunt rushed out of the cage, slipped her hooves and ran to the rice bowl to eat, while Lin Ji went into the kitchen, put on an apron and began to study what to eat tonight.

"How about eating hot pot?" Lin Ji asked.

"Yes." Xiang Shifang said.

So Lin rolled up his sleeves, first blanch the old hen, pork ribs, and ham, then added scallops to the pan, then seasoned with onion and ginger cooking wine, and skimmed off the foam with a spoon after boiling. The second time, the soup was basically clear, and it was simmered for another three hours.During the period, Lin not only sliced ​​meat, but also served vegetarian dishes, and made two cold dishes and two sweets. He put all the ingredients on the table, which was gorgeous and hearty.

When Xie Zhaofeng and the others came, Xiang Shifang opened the door.

"Shifang, when did you own a property here?" Xie Zhaofeng said, as soon as he entered the door, he could smell a strong fragrance, mixed with many ingredients, and it seemed that he could taste the pure and sweet soup after taking a sip.

"Is this his house?" Qiao Nuo looked at the decoration of the living room, which was not in Xiang Shifang's style at all.

"There are still cats." Xie Zhaofeng saw the aunt who was squatting curiously in the distance.

"Are they here?" Lin Ji heard the movement in the kitchen. He was adjusting the saltiness of the soup and couldn't go to greet the guests.

"Whose voice?" Xie Zhaofeng was a little confused.

Qiao Nuo walked quickly to the living room and saw Lin Ji wearing an apron.

"Hello." Lin Ji greeted her with a smile.

"Lin Ji, why do you..." Qiao Nuo quickly figured out, "This is your home?"

"Yes, Shifang didn't tell you?"

"No, he only sent the address." Qiao Nuo's expression went blank for a while, "I even forgot to bring a gift! Xiang Shifang that bastard!"

Xie Zhaofeng asked Xiang Shifang in shock, "Why did you let us come here for dinner?"

"Where is it different to eat?" Xiang Shifang said indifferently.

"Of course it's different!" Xie Zhaofeng lost his voice. He glanced at the virtuous Lin Ji in the kitchen and felt that the world was too weird.

"He's pretty good at cooking." Xiang Shifang said, "You'll know it after you taste it."

"Come on, put away your hateful gesture of showing off your wife." Xie Zhaofeng muttered.

Xiang Shifang pursed his lips, recalled his tone just now, and retorted without confidence, "I didn't."

Xie Zhaofeng glanced at the people in the kitchen, and asked in a low voice, "Shifang, you and him... are you serious?"

"Hmm." Xiang Shifang said casually.

"He's a man!" Xie Zhaofeng said.

"I know." Xiang Shifang remained calm.

Looking at his expression, Xie Zhaofeng gradually understood, "So, you don't plan to have a long-term development with him? I mean the kind that is going to get married."

"Which law now allows two men to marry?" Xiang Shifang gave him a strange look, "Besides, I didn't want to go that far with him. In my opinion, love is the biggest variable. When I get tired of him , or the day he gets tired of me, we will naturally break up."

"Do you think Lin Ji will get tired of you?" Xie Zhaofeng sneered.

Xiang Shifang lowered his eyes, touched the palm of his hand, and said softly, "So what?"

On the other side, Qiao Nuo used the cat teaser to lure out the aunt who was afraid of strangers and got into the lower sofa. When the aunt was not paying attention, she hugged her. The aunt struggled resistingly, but since Lin told it not to scratch people, it was wronged. The ground was motionless.

"This cat is really obedient." Qiao Nuo rubbed his chin, "What's its name?"

"Grandma." Lin Ji said.

Qiao Nuo burst out laughing, "What a funny name, grandma."

My aunt reluctantly agreed.

Qiao Nuo hugged the cat and stretched his head to look at Lin Ji's cooking table, and asked, "There's a pile of vegetables on the table, what are you still working on?"

"It's all shabu-shabu. I found some bacon and marinated meat in the refrigerator. I ate it together today. Try it?" Lin Ji picked up a piece of evenly fat and lean meat.

Qiao Nuo opened his mouth, "Ah—"

Lin Ji smiled and said, "You have to do it yourself."

"Cut." Qiao Nuo pursed his lips, and was about to reach for the chopsticks, but when his aunt opened her mouth, she took the meat away.

"Grandma, you can't eat this!" Lin Ji shouted.

My aunt chewed it expressionlessly and swallowed it.

Lin had no choice but to say, "You're out of canned food this week."

My aunt let out an innocent "meow".

"Good boy, my sister will buy you canned food." Qiao Nuo said pitifully. Seeing Lin Ji laughing and shaking her head, her brows and eyes were full of tenderness. She thought, if she got Lin Ji, she must hide him at home and watch him every day. He, listen to what he has to say.

Such a good family man is simply priceless.

Thinking of this, Qiao Nuo couldn't help feeling sorry, but this is already someone else's treasure.

"Lin Ji, where is your girlfriend? Does she come to your house often?" Qiao Nuo pretended to ask casually.

Lin Ji glanced at Shifang subconsciously, and then replied, "Twice a week."

Only twice?What a waste of money!

Qiao Nuo nodded, looking around, since that person came here often, there must be some traces left, at least there should be some photos, she wants to see what kind of fairy can be worthy of Lin Ji.

So Qiao Nuo put her aunt down and pretended to visit. She saw a cabinet full of Lin Ji's collection of vinyl records, which was similar to Xiang Shifang's.Then she went to the toilet again, and sure enough, she found two towels and two sets of toiletries. She felt a little bitter, but then noticed that there were no women's skin care products on the shelf, but two men's razors. Bring your own here?

She went back to the living room again, and her aunt was sleeping curled up on Xiang Shifang's lap. Xiang Shifang and Xie Zhaofeng were discussing the capital injection and asking her opinion, but she was absent-minded. Incomplete porcelain cups, but they are complete when they are closed, and they look like a pair.One of them belonged to Lin Ji, and the other...Xiang Shifang picked it up and took a sip naturally.

Qiao Nuo was stunned.

"Dinner is ready." Lin Ji shouted, "Shifang, come and help me, I'm afraid I'll spill it."

Xiang Shifang got up and walked over. Qiao Nuo followed her eyes. She saw Xiang Shifang help Lin Ji lift up his glasses, unconsciously showing intimacy.

But Xiang Shifang was never the kind of person who would show intimacy, even when they were together back then, Xiang Shifang never took the initiative to hold her hand.

A flood of questions arose—why did Xiang Shifang invite them to Lin Ji's house?Why is the relationship between Lin Ji and Xiang Shifang so good?Why does Lin Ji's cat get close to Xiang Shifang?Why are there two razors?Why……

"Let's go, princess, let's eat." Xie Zhaofeng said.

Qiao Nuo followed him to the restaurant in a daze, and she found another thing. The cotton slippers worn by Lin Ji had a pattern of a kitten, while the one that looked like Shifang had a pattern of a puppy. They were also guests. She and Xie Zhaofeng But it's just plain solid color.

No, she must be thinking too much...

"Jono?"

Qiao Nuo shook his head, came back to his senses, and met Lin Ji's puzzled eyes, "What's wrong?"

"I'm asking you, is this an appropriate amount of food?" T Lin raised his rice bowl and asked.

"Appropriate, thank you." Qiao Nuo was still unsure.

"It's rare. Usually, you would complain about being fat after eating half a bowl." Xie Zhaofeng said.

Qiao Nuo wasn't in the mood to argue with him, and after taking his meal, he couldn't help but watch the interaction between Xiang Shifang and Lin Ji.

Xie Zhaofeng boiled a piece of meat to eat, praised and said: "Not bad, Lin Ji, you are quite skilled, no wonder you can be recommended by Shifanghui."

Qiao Nuo suddenly said, "Does Shifang come here to eat often?"

Lin Ji answered calmly: "He only came to eat two or three times."

Xiang Shifang glanced at him, feeling subtly uncomfortable.

"Really." Qiao Nuo lowered his head and took a small mouthful of rice.

At the dinner table, Xie Zhaofeng talked the most, talking about the recent events of Cheng's family like Pingshu, but Qiao Nuo, who had the same news channel as him in Mianshi, didn't say a word.Lin noticed her situation, and asked with some concern: "Qiao Nuo, is it not to your liking?"

Qiao Nuo raised her head and felt a pain in her heart when she saw the gentle Lin Ji. She shook her head, "It's delicious."

"Try this." Lin Ji picked up a piece of beef for her. "It's very tender, and it smells like milk."

"Thank you." She whispered, but she was keenly aware of Xiang Shifang's gaze. He quickly glanced at Lin Ji, and then looked at her silently.

Qiao Nuo seemed to understand the deep meaning in his eyes——

This person is mine.

Qiao Nuo bit his lip and stared back fiercely.

Xiang Shifang withdrew his gaze calmly, as if nothing had happened, or he was trying to prove something on purpose - he took out the vegetables in the bowl and put them in the small bone box between him and Lin Ji. in the dish.

Lin asked him with his eyes.

Xiang Shifang said indifferently: "It's not delicious."

Lin Ji didn't say anything, but after a few minutes, Qiao Nuo found that Lin Ji put those dishes into his bowl again.

At this point, she slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she asked in a low voice, "Lin Ji, is that person Shifang?"

Lin was stunned for a moment before he realized the meaning of Qiao Nuo's words. He was about to pretend to be stupid, but he heard the people around him say, "Yes."

Xie Zhaofeng was still not in the mood, and asked blankly: "What is it?"

"I see." Qiao Nuo's gaze became indifferent, she put down her chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'm not feeling well, so I'm leaving first."

"Qionuo?" Lin Ji opened his eyes wide and asked in astonishment.

Qiao Nuo turned and walked to the entrance, opened the door and left before everyone could react.

"Shifang, didn't you tell her to hide it first?" Lin Ji looked at Xiang Shifang in disbelief.

"Anyway, she can tell." Xiang Shifang said.

"She is your friend, why are you so cold and mean to her?" Lin Ji couldn't understand Xiang Shifang's calmness at the moment.

"Could it be that because she is a friend, should I tolerate her always having fantasies about you?" Xiang Shifang said coldly.

"This is really..." Since Lin really had nothing to say, he also got up.

"Where are you going?" Xiang Shifang asked in a low voice.

"I'll go find her and explain clearly to her!" Lin Ji also went out.

Xie Zhaofeng, the only outsider, looked at this and then that, "Why do you feel that we are not in the same script?"
