What to do if you are spotted by the straight man next door

The kitchen is semi-open, separated from the living room only by a decorative frosted glass.

Su Bin looked at the spotless coffee table, and asked Yang Chengzhe loudly: "Brother Cheng, who cleans the house?"

"Whoever is free will clean it!" Yang Chengzhe's voice came around the glass.

Su Bin recalled the university dormitory where he had lived in China for two years. There was no one to do the work after the duty list was set up. He didn't complain at all, who made Yu Minhong his idol...

When the idol was in college, he used to fetch water for his roommates for four years. After that, he founded "New Oriental". This incident touched Su Bin a lot.

The idol said that hard work always pays off. Although Su Bin hasn't gotten any real rewards, he firmly believes in it.

But now it seems that the new roommates are very self-conscious and clean people, which makes Su Bin quite satisfied... Can it be regarded as a kind of "reward"?

"Do you usually cook by yourself?" Too tired to shout through the glass, Su Bin got up and walked to the kitchen door, and asked, "I heard that Ellen asked her roommate to be able to cook?"

"Really?" Yang Chengzhe smiled lightly, but his smile was a little stiff. Su Bin sensed the other party's frustration and didn't understand why until Yang Chengzhe brought the two fried dishes to the table...

Looking at the unattractive tomato scrambled eggs and potato slices, Su Bin really couldn't say anything nice.

Yang Chengzhe is also quite self-aware: "I don't cook very well, and there's nothing in the refrigerator, so let's just settle for a while, and when Jin Fei comes back, we'll set aside another day to treat you to a good meal."

Su Bin waved his hands empathetically, and jokingly said, "I feel very honored to be able to eat the dishes made by Dr. Yang himself!" Is the canteen meal unpalatable?Su Bin is not a picky eater.

But after he took a sip, he changed his mind... He felt that Yang Chengzhe was really immodest.

After a few bites, Su Bin began to be reluctant to part with the pack of instant noodles that he generously gave to the foreigner in the morning...

After eating everything, Su Bin decided not to let Yang Chengzhe cook in the future, it's really...a bit of a stomachache!

After the meal, Su Bin rushed to wash the dishes, and Yang Chengzhe told him by the way where all kinds of kitchen utensils were placed in the kitchen, and how to use the oven, toaster, coffee machine, etc.

"There is a convenience store nearby, which sells fresh food every day, but there are not many kinds. We occasionally drive to a large supermarket farther away to purchase together, usually once every two weeks." Yang Chengzhe opened the refrigerator and said: "Here Most of the food in the head is shared, and whoever needs it will take it by themselves. I feel that if I take too much, I will pay more when I go shopping, which is not a clear account..."

Su Bin was still lamenting the mutual trust between roommates, when Yang Chengzhe said seriously: "Only Ellen's things, you'd better not touch them."

Su Bin suddenly became nervous: "Ah? Then what if I take the wrong one?"

Yang Chengzhe pointed to the top shelf of the refrigerator and the row on the door: "This is Ellen's position. Everything he buys will be placed on his own shelf."

Su Bin saw that there were many green glass bottles on it, but he didn't know whether it was wine or drinks...

Yang Chengzhe opened the quick-freezing grid below again, and said, "It's the same here, except that the bottom grid is for Ellen, and you can use the other two grids as you like..."

After closing the refrigerator door, Yang Chengzhe said with a smile: "In fact, none of us have the habit of cooking, and most of the food we buy is quick-frozen food, such as pizza and pasta, which can be eaten as soon as they are heated in the oven, so Ellen It is always said that what we eat is not nutritious and unhealthy."

Su Bin asked, "Then Ellen can cook?"

Yang Chengzhe: "He also only knows some Western-style simple meals, and he only started to learn after moving in."

It was only later that Su Bin learned what Yang Chengzhe meant by "knowing a little bit"—it was nothing more than toasting sliced ​​bread, spreading some butter, and sandwiching two slices of bacon bought from the supermarket; Spaghetti, mixed with some ready-made pasta sauce... What kind of "knowledge" is this?It is not as challenging as cooking instant noodles!

However, Su Bin is still very naive now, when he heard "Western-style simple meal", he felt that all kinds of grand...

After introducing everything, Yang Chengzhe was not in a hurry to go back to the room.He made a cup of bagged black tea for Su Bin, sat on the sofa with him and chatted, and waited for Ellen to come back before formally letting them know each other.

When Su Bin talked about himself, the one he could talk about most was his girlfriend, Chen Xiaotian.

Chen Xiaotian is Su Bin's high school classmate and a flower in the Department of Foreign Languages ​​of the Provincial University, but they get together because of a prank by a friend.

In his sophomore year of high school, Su Bin played a game with his classmates and made a bet. The bet was to woo the most beautiful girl recognized by the whole school.Su Bin lost the game. He couldn't bear the agitation and booing from his classmates, so he rushed into the broadcasting room, and shouted into the microphone while the members of the broadcasting club were stunned: "Chen Xiaotian, I like you! I'm a sophomore and a third-year student. Su Bin from the class!"

This roar caused a sensation in the whole school.

Originally there were many people chasing Chen Xiaotian, but in key high schools where puppy love is prohibited, the suitors can only tell their sweethearts in secret. Su Bin is the first one who can make such a big deal happen.

Seeing Su Bin being kicked out of the broadcasting room with a flushed face, the brothers burst out laughing.But what they didn't expect was that after school that night, Chen Xiaotian appeared at the door of their class...

Su Bin and Chen Xiaotian dated.The teachers in the school turned a blind eye to their behavior because they were both top students. In the college entrance examination a year and a half later, both of them lived up to expectations and were admitted to the best university in the province. It was passed down as a good story in their high school for a while.

However, their relationship did not develop so smoothly.

At a class reunion after graduating from high school, Chen Xiaotian learned that Su Bin pursued her because of a "joke" among classmates, and proposed to break up in surprise.At that time, Su Bin had already fallen in love with this girl from the bottom of his heart, so he tried his best to keep her and started pursuing again.

This chase lasted for three months.

Su Bin fetched water and bought breakfast for her every day; saw her off in class and picked her up after class; learned that she was late for the morning jog, tried every means to bribe the seniors of the discipline inspection department to avoid her deduction record; heard that her favorite star came There was a concert in the city, and I queued up several nights to buy tickets for her... There were many other things, big and small, that I didn't mention, but wherever Chen Xiaotian appeared, I could see Su Bin's shadow on the saddle.

On the eve of Chen Xiaotian's [-]th birthday, Su Bin called together a few high school classmates who were betting together at that time, bought a bunch of candles and put them downstairs in Chen Xiaotian's dormitory, showing a huge love.

That night, curious heads hung outside the windows of the female dormitory of the College of Foreign Languages. They watched a group of hot-blooded teenagers singing Wang Leehom's "I Love You" downstairs. Su Bin stood in the middle of the heart, holding a conspicuous bunch of roses, so romantic that the entire night sky seems to be dyed pink...

After singing, Su Bin yelled towards the dormitory: "Chen Xiaotian, I like you! I am Su Bin from Class [-] of the Finance Department!"

There were screams inside and outside the building, and everyone was yelling for them to "be together"... Finally, Chen Xiaotian came out of the dormitory. , took the roses he handed over, and said shyly: "Everyone is out of tune..."

Their incident was a sensation and was reported by the provincial university newspaper.Since then, Su Bin has also become a celebrity in the school. Later, I heard that the method of putting candles to courtship was spread on the Internet by netizens, spreading the gospel to countless boys...

Su Bin was beaming with joy when he said it, and Yang Chengzhe also listened with gusto.

"It's really romantic..." Yang Chengzhe sighed, and then asked, "But I just heard you say how you chased her, so is she treating you well?"

"Okay!" Chen Xiaotian's good words, Su Bin can count a lot of them, "She is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted, and her academic performance is also very good, especially in English..." Including Su Bin's idols are also in the relationship between him and Chen Xiaotian. It was only after I went to listen to the speech that I was sure, "She comforted me when I was sad, and encouraged me when I was down. She was very thoughtful, independent and sensible, and never pestered me to buy things for her," Su Bin knew. Some girls care more about these, "In short, she is very special."

Yang Chengzhe nodded: "Then you are in a long-distance relationship now, and there is still an eight-hour jet lag, isn't it uncomfortable?"

"It's uncomfortable, I scratch my heart and lungs every moment!" Su Bin said with a wrinkled face.

Yang Chengzhe comforted him: "However, sometimes the distance can test the firmness of a relationship... If you can pass this test, you can consider proposing to her when you go back."

"Ahaha, that's too early..." Su Bin knew that Yang Chengzhe was joking with him, but he said haha, but his heart beat really fast, "Brother Cheng, do you have a girlfriend?" ?” Su Bin immediately changed the subject.

Yang Chengzhe was a little shy: "I'm afraid you'll make fun of me if I say it. I've never been in a relationship before."

Su Bin opened his mouth wide in surprise: "No way, you are such a nice person, you look good, and you're a Ph. Maybe no one is chasing it? ...Of course, ignore the fact that he doesn't cook well.

Yang Chengzhe said: "I have devoted myself to studying since I was a child. I skipped grades twice. Later, the girls around me were all older than me. After I went abroad with a master's degree, I was under a lot of pressure and had no one. Now I am studying for a second doctorate. It’s been nearly eight years abroad, and I’m used to it by myself.”

"The second doctorate?" Su Bin was shocked. Yang Chengzhe is only five years older than him, and he has already studied for the second doctorate. How can this person be a master... It seems that he can't cook. Extenuating circumstances.

Yang Chengzhe looked at Su Bin and smiled: "When I realize it, I'm surrounded by you guys who are much younger than me, so I'm a little embarrassed to do it."

Su Bin frantically said: "What do you mean 'much younger', but you are only five years away, don't think of yourself so old!" If he was a girl, he would definitely choose a gentle and mature person like Yang Chengzhe as a boy Friend...it doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to cook, he can do it!

While chatting, some noises suddenly appeared at the door, and the two of them looked over at the same time... only to see a boy in black standing quietly at the entrance, who did not know when he came in.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pressed the switch on the wall, and the ceiling lamp cast a beam of white light, illuminating the man's deep facial features and tall nose bridge, and the long eyelashes scattered two fan shadows, but they couldn't cover him. Those grey-green eyes...

At that moment, Su Bin felt his heart stopped beating.

This is a handsome face that surprises people at the first sight. At this moment, many words appeared in Su Bin's mind, such as mixed-race, celebrity, model, prince in fairy tales, etc. He even thought of vampires... But except With that jet-black hair, there was nothing about this man that Su Bin could think of as a Chinese.

He walked towards them step by step, his posture was indescribably elegant, and he walked without making a lot of noise, but the closer the distance, the more oppressive he felt...Su Bin stood up involuntarily.

"Ellen, this is Michael." Yang Chengzhe also stood up and introduced with a smile.

"Hello." He greeted lightly, stretched out his hand to hold Su Bin, his fingers were slender, and his skin was as white as jade, like a nobleman who came out of a medieval oil painting, "Nice to meet you."

When he said such words, his tone was not fluctuating, and his expression was even more calm.If Su Bin hadn't heard his voice on the phone, he really didn't want to admit that this person was Ellen.

But apart from this appearance, Su Bin couldn't imagine any other images that Ellen might have. However, he thought that Ellen should be more like a "real person"...but this person's appearance is as perfect as a sculpture.

Seeing Su Bin's stunned look, Yang Chengzhe laughed out loud.

"Michael, don't be nervous. Many people will be surprised by Ellen's appearance when they see him for the first time, but you will get used to it after getting along for a long time." Yang Chengzhe began to speak English fluently and naturally, Su Bin could understand .

Su Bin withdrew his hand embarrassingly with a red face, not daring to stare straight at him anymore.

Yang Chengzhe asked Ellen if he would like a cup of black tea, Ellen answered and sat down beside Su Bin, who instantly became nervous again.

Ellen asked him a few questions, all of which were very casual questions, such as "Are you studying in M ​​University", "What major are you studying", "Are you planning to live here", "How long will you stay "This kind.

Su Bin was also like a primary school student answering a teacher's question, and said with a straight face, "Yes", "I study finance", "I have already moved my luggage to the empty room upstairs", "I plan to live for a year"...

But with such a few simple questions, Ellen pointed out several of his wording and grammatical mistakes in a serious manner...Su Bin's face was going red!

He was not relieved until Yang Chengzhe came back with a teacup, but Yang Chengzhe said with a smile: "You heard Ellen right, he learns very rigorous and beautiful aristocratic English, you usually communicate with him more, you can learn more Quite a few things."

Su Bin roared in his heart: Exchange wool, I came to rent a house to live, not to learn English, so the pressure to get along like this is really great...

Ignoring Su Bin's mental activities, Yang Chengzhe directly mentioned the matter of changing rooms to Ellen. Ellen frowned and said, "I'm a bit busy these two weeks, and I don't know if I'm free on weekends. Let's see again." , you can also consider finding a time to move in the evening..."

Yang Chengzhe: "Okay, when you think it's convenient, let me know in advance."

Su Bin silently prayed that Ellen could change rooms with Yang Chengzhe as soon as possible. He always felt that if he wanted to see this guy up and down, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

The author has something to say: 【Note】

No one should pronounce "Su Bin (bin)" as "Susan" and "Chen Xiaotian (tian)" as "Chen Xiaokuo", right?It’s not that I’m doing anything unnecessary, it’s that there are really such silly kids who are “heavenly (mei) but (wen) dull (hua)”!There is one next to me, after being complained about, now go to the corner to draw circles and curse me...
