The kitchen of Bai Wuye's house is big and empty.The lighting is good, the hall is spacious and bright, all kinds of kitchen utensils are available, and there is also a small refrigerator specially for storing ingredients, which is neatly packed.People who don’t know look at this kitchen and think that he is such a person who loves to cook. However, he basically only cooks instant noodles or cooks simple dishes. Qin Zhanbai, who eats, drinks and lives, uses it more.

Qiying’s family background is ordinary, and he lives in an old-fashioned tile-roofed house near the suburbs, with a courtyard. The kitchen is also a very old stove. At most, he uses a rice cooker and an induction cooker, but the old stove is used the most during the Chinese New Year. tower.So when he saw the kitchen of Bai Wuye's house, he let out a very thoughtful "wow", not knowing what he was feeling.

Wipe the marble cooking table with your fingers and lift it up to see that it is clean without any dust or oil.Qi Ying smiled and teased: "I can't see that you are still a house husband, do you usually cook by yourself?"

"Yes, cook porridge, cook instant noodles, or stir-fry some dishes." Bai Wuye said without guilt, "Look at how clean my kitchen is, you should be able to understand."

Qi Ying muttered: "But I always feel that you are not the one who can clean the kitchen by hand."

How do you know him?It was indeed not him who cleaned the kitchen, but Qin Zhanbai who came over to "borrow" with various excuses whenever he was free, and he was the one who used the kitchen most of the time.

Bai Wuye rubbed his neck, shook his hand and changed the topic: "Let's not talk about that, let's start. Let me tell you first, my level is at most the level of making tomato scrambled eggs, and I can't teach you much. Let's just watch The recipes encourage each other and improve each other, okay?"

"I knew your level earlier, maybe you still have to rely on me." Qi Ying raised a finger and shook it, then took the pan and put it under the tap to start brushing, "Since you know how to scramble eggs with tomatoes, let's Let’s start with tomato scrambled eggs.”

"Right on my mind."

The two stood side by side in front of the cooking table and began to work. Qi Ying was in charge of washing and chopping vegetables and beating eggs, and Bai Wuye poured oil into a hot pot for formal cooking.

Qi Ying handed the processed ingredients to Bai Wuye, who took them and poured them into the pot in the order he was used to, and skillfully stir-fried them with a spatula.He looked serious, his back was stretched straight, and he abruptly made the stir-fried vegetables look like he was standing in a military posture.Qi Ying leaned aside and watched, watching and laughing for a while.

"What are you laughing at?" Bai Wuye held the spatula so hard that the veins protruded from the back of his hand. Although he was proficient, he nervously avoided the splash of oil from the pot, and asked dissatisfied after hearing the laughter.

"I laughed at you for cooking and still standing like a soldier." Qi Ying poked his straight back and said with a smile.

"This is personal manners. You, a hunched nerd, won't understand!" Bai Wuye retorted solemnly and casually, and then quickly returned to the topic, "Come and see my movements, I will follow you!" Let me tell you what to pay attention to. First, the eggs must be fried before they can be put in, otherwise there will be a fishy smell, and the frying will not look good. Second, pay attention to the tomatoes..."

Bai Wuye spoke seriously, and Qi Ying listened carefully, and tomato scrambled eggs are a basic home-cooked dish, so Bai Wuye only demonstrates it once, and Qi Ying has learned a lot. Look at the product of his own practice. It also looks good.

"What's next?" Qi Ying picked up an egg with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, while chewing, Qi Ying spoke inarticulately.

"Pork belly." Bai Wuye showed him the long pictures saved in his phone, all of which were pork belly recipes, and some even played novel tricks, which dazzled Qi Ying.

So the two who had just finished the last dish got together to study the new dish, and tried it stumblingly.The first two failed. Either put too much oil in the fryer or put too little oil in the fryer and the result was like coke. It takes courage to smell it, let alone eat it.

Bai Wuye thought for a while, picked up a piece and tried to hand it to Yinxing who was spinning around his feet.Didn't really want to let it eat, just wanted to see how it reacted.

"Mi woo~"

Yinxing slapped away the coke that the unscrupulous master handed to his mouth with his paw, and the feeling of disgust almost overflowed from those round cat eyes.

Qi Ying smiled sullenly and said, "How does it feel to be disliked by your own cat?"

Bai Wuye replied depressedly: "It feels like angina pectoris."

After failing several times in a row, and now being rejected by cats, they had no choice but to give up.

After more than an hour of busy work, two plates of tomato scrambled eggs, two plates of shredded potatoes and a bowl of pork rib soup were finally served.Although the result was unsatisfactory, at least he had an attitude, Qi Ying did learn something, and everyone was happy.

After eating a table of dishes with rice, the two of them washed the dishes, and after lying on the sofa for a while to digest, Qi Ying bid farewell.

"I have to go back and write the research report for my thesis." When he reached the door, Bai Wuye, who was sent by Qi Ying to help him, patted the thread of the apron stuck to his collar, and when he retracted his hand, he pushed his glasses and warned: "Remember to call me if you have anything to do, you can do anything at any time, don't keep hiding it."

"I know, why are you acting like an old lady? Go back and write your report!" Bai Wuye pushed him out of the door a little impatiently, then waved at him, "Go, be careful on the road."

"Ah."

Watching Qi Ying's figure slowly sway out of his sight, Bai Wuye's forced smile slowly collapsed.He rubbed his face stiff from laughing, and looked back at the empty room. Without the company of others, he suddenly felt so lonely.

From the age of 14 to the present, he has lived alone for seven years, and he has never found anything unbearable.But today, maybe I just realized that I have an extra friend who can stay by my side, maybe I was disturbed by my parents who reappeared after many years, and the loneliness that used to be common has become so difficult now.

Alas, how good would it be if I had a girlfriend or boyfriend by my side at this time?Inexplicably want to fall in love.

Puffing her cheeks in depression, Bai Wuye was about to take the door back to the room and take a nap with the cat in her arms to adjust her mood, but found that the door was pressed from the outside and couldn't be pushed.

He turned around in doubt, and was greeted by Qin Zhanbai panting and sweating profusely.

"You..." Bai Wuye stared blankly, too surprised to speak.

Didn't this person go to city A to participate in an academic exchange meeting?You said you came back at night, why are you here now?

Seeing Bai Wuye's surprised expression, Qin Zhanbai suddenly felt that all this trouble was not in vain.

He was on the plane at [-]:[-], and there were some accidents on the way, which delayed the plane for a whole hour, and he was almost manic at that time.If that's the case, it's okay, but the driver who came to pick him up at the airport broke down halfway. As a last resort, he could only take a taxi to the neighborhood where Bai Wuye lived, and then run all the way here.

To be honest, Qin Zhanbai has rarely been so tired as he is today after being pampered and pampered all these years. The main reason is that he is mentally tired. He has been worried about Bai Wuye's situation on the way, afraid that something will happen to him.Seeing that he was standing in front of him safe and sound, and in good condition, Qin Zhanbai felt a little relieved.

Clearing his throat, Qin Zhanbai was about to speak, but he saw Bai Wuye's lips curled up into a smile, and he turned sideways and said, "Come in first."

Qin Zhanbai choked, unable to speak, obediently followed him into the living room, and obediently sat down following his eyes.To tell the truth, except for the time when we first met, he was never so honest when he was with Bai Wuye.

The main reason was that Bai Wuye's aura today was a little strange, which made him feel inexplicably cowardly.

"you……"

After being relatively silent for nearly 10 minutes, Qin Zhanbai, feeling restless, opened his mouth hesitantly, but before he finished speaking, Bai Wuye blocked him back: "You know everything?"

Qin Zhanbai blinked, and the mature and stable man suddenly felt that his proud mind couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his sweetheart.He swallowed nervously, hesitated for two seconds, and finally nodded as if dead.

Bai Wuye asked if Qin Zhanbai knew about his parents' return?Qin Zhanbai's nod not only showed that he understood Bai Wuye's meaning, but also answered his question in the affirmative.In fact, the two of them did cultivate some tacit understanding in their daily lives, but such a tacit understanding like this is still a minority.

Bai Wuye was not surprised by Qin Zhanbai's answer.

The longer he gets along with him, the more Bai Wuye understands how many cards are hidden under his low-key appearance.A university professor lives in a one-story apartment; almost every time he comes to see him, he drives a car of a different brand and model; The recently opened files that pop up are not teaching plans, but various planning cases written in different languages ​​or other...

It was not the first time that Bai Wuye encountered him talking on the phone with someone in French or German. From the few words he could understand because he had taken French courses, he could vaguely guess that this guy was very talented in terms of family background and work. Not as low-key as he appears.It's just that Bai Wuye was too lazy to ask and didn't want to ask, so he pretended to be stupid until now.

However, today's question exposed everything that should be exposed.

Why is he so sure that Qin Zhanbai knows about his parents' return to China?

There are many things that cannot be studied deeply, because it is extremely frightening to think about them carefully.

"I didn't investigate you on purpose, and I didn't pay attention to your parents on purpose. This time it's really a coincidence." Seeing Bai Wuye looking deeply at himself but not saying a word, his eyes were so condensed that it made him uneasy, Qin Zhanbai quickly explained.He didn't want Bai Wuye to misunderstand that he investigated him privately because of ulterior motives, not to mention knowing that Bai's father and mother returned to China today, it was indeed a coincidence.

"This time?" Bai Wuye leaned back on the pillow, her tone lowered a bit, "It means there is another time, last time?"

Qin Zhanbai: "..." Sure enough, he said too much and made mistakes.

"Why did you investigate them?" Unexpectedly, Bai Wuye brushed aside the topic lightly, and asked a more sensitive question, "Don't say you didn't, coincidences also have a basis in reality."

Qin Zhanbai was startled by Bai Wuye who suddenly became sharp. He almost went through the entire Ci Hai in his mind, hoping to make up a way to explain it.However, with the eyes of Shangbai Wuye, all the perfunctory disappeared.He sighed, bowed his head like an elementary school student obediently accepting a lecture, and said, "Well, actually, I just want to know their current situation. If you need it in the future, I won't be unprepared."

"Why do I need it?" Bai Wuye turned his head slightly, and his bangs slid down to cover half of his cheeks.

"In case of emergencies, I don't really think you need it." Qin Zhanbai scratched his head in confusion, unable to show the usual aura of flirting with Bai Wuye or teaching students, instead he was embarrassed as if he had made a mistake child.

"...You came back as soon as you received the news?" Bai Wuye dug deeply with his hand resting on the seat cushion, and Bai Wuye suddenly felt a sound of collapse and shattering somewhere in his heart.He was suppressing the inexplicably turbulent emotions, but his voice was unconsciously hoarse.

Qin Zhanbai nodded.He wanted to push back the timeline a bit, but Bai Wuye at this moment made him dare not perfunctory.

That's the end of this topic.

Bai Wuye didn't speak for a long time, Qin Zhanbai could only stay silent with him, and didn't even dare to look up at him, worried about seeing his angry and bored expression.

The small house fell into a weird atmosphere.

Snow began to fall outside the window, falling gently like catkins in the warm sunset, some of which turned into water in mid-air, hitting the eaves and floors like dew, leaving shallow traces.The sound of the empty wind beating against the doors and windows reveals the hustle and bustle of silence, adding to the strange atmosphere in the room.

"You're rushing back, so you haven't eaten yet?" I don't know how long the silence lasted, but the room gradually darkened, and Bai Wuye suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the kitchen, "Lao Qi and I will learn how to cook together today. There is something left, if you don’t mind, eat some here.”

"and many more!"

Qin Zhanbai grabbed him quickly, but before he could stand still, he suddenly turned around and slammed into his arms, with his forehead resting on his shoulder, which was so hard that it hurt his shoulder.

Although Qin Zhanbai usually likes to tease or take advantage of him when he is unprepared, but at this moment he suddenly "throws himself into his arms", which makes Qin Zhanbai at a loss what to do.His hands were placed on both sides of his body, and he didn't dare to put them down for a long time, and his body was too tense to relax.

"Thank you." Bai Wuye's voice was a little choked up.

Thank you for always thinking about me, thank you for rushing back to accompany me when I was the saddest and most lonely, thank you for sitting with me for so long without asking anything, and not leaving even if you misunderstood me and got angry.

Qin Zhanbai became even more embarrassed, saying "You're welcome", but felt a sour and tingling feeling in his heart.After a while, the raised hand lightly rested on Bai Wuye's back.

"Don't worry," he put his face against Bai Wuye's temples, tightened his arms, and almost wanted to rub his whole body into his arms, "I will always be with you, no matter what happens."

"...Hmm." Bai Wuye replied sullenly.
