Window 2, Seventh Canteen

In the past, during the holidays, Jiang Wei would usually stay at home until the fifteenth day, but this year he came back early. He had just spent the seventh day with his family, and he packed his luggage and rushed back to Beijing in the early morning of the eighth day.

For nothing else, I just want to spend a few more days with Han Zilu before school starts.

The start of school will be the second semester of senior year. Jiang Wei doesn't plan to go to graduate school. This will be the last half year of his student days. When the time comes, he will have to go out to do final design. It may take a few months to go. Don't hurry up now to spend more time with his son Lu. If you get tired, you will have no time.

Jiang Wei felt that he was becoming more and more dependent on Han Zilu, not the kind of dependence in life, but spiritually, as long as Han Zilu was not by his side, he felt like something was missing and felt uncomfortable, such as this time returning The Chinese New Year at home was actually not very good.

On New Year's Eve, as usual, he accompanied his relatives to watch the Spring Festival Gala. The whole room was laughing, but he was the only one who silently sent text messages to Han Zilu.

Before being with Han Zilu, there are two kinds of things to do, interesting and boring.

After being with Han Zilu, there are two kinds of things, those related to Han Zilu and those not related.

During the festival, Jiang Wei had dinner with Fa Xiao, and when he talked about his experiences in love, he was laughed at as childish.He has never been so fresh in posting novels. After half a year or a year, he will be normal once he gets out of this state.

Jiang Wei himself knew those love theories, but he didn't believe it. According to how he felt about Han Zilu now, let alone half a year or a year, he might not be normal in ten or eight years.

When I told this to Fa Xiao, he just laughed unfathomably, saying that you have no experience, and you will know it in the future.

Indeed, Jiang Wei has no experience in love, but he knows what he thinks.

He lacks experience, but at least he has lived for more than [-] years, and he knows how to push one to the other. For example, some things you are doing now are not uninteresting, but you always feel that they are just passing the time, while others, even if you are not doing it now, I also feel that I will do it sooner or later, it is extremely important, or I am doing it, no matter how hard or tired I am, I will be happy.

It's the same with people, some people you have known for a long time, it's not that you don't like them, but you never really care about them, and you don't think they will stay in your life forever, while others, although you haven't known each other for long, feel that your The whole life is related to him. In the next day or two, a year or two, or even a lifetime, this connection will not disappear.

Han Zilu belonged to the kind that would never disappear.

Jiang Wei didn't know where he would go and what he would do in the future, but no matter how he imagined and planned, he felt that Han Zilu would be by his side.

Although it was only the eighth day, Han Zilu was already working. Jiang Wei wanted to see him sooner, so he went to the hotel where he worked.

It happened to be dinner time when we arrived, so Jiang Wei found a seat by the window and sat down as usual.

I haven't seen him for more than ten days, and I haven't eaten the dishes he cooked for more than ten days. At this moment, I should make up for the lack in my stomach.

I ordered five or six dishes in one go, planning to have a full meal, and I couldn't finish it and take it away.

After ordering, the waiter stood there smiling at him.

Jiang Wei: "Huh?"

Waiter: "I haven't seen you coming for a long time."

Jiang Wei: "You know me?"

Waiter: "Of course, you are a regular customer and a friend of our chef."

Jiang Wei felt a little inexplicably happy, "Is your chef busy today?"

Waiter: "I haven't been idle for the past few days. Not only is he busy, but all the chefs including us are very busy. Now I don't like to eat at home during the holidays. The hotel has been fully booked every day from years ago to now."

Jiang Wei: "Oh, that's very busy, thank you, I can cook my dishes slowly, I'm not in a hurry."

The waiter went away with a smile, Jiang Wei looked out the window with his chin resting, originally wanted to ask Zilu to come out to meet him, but it seems that is not possible, we should obediently wait for him to get off work.

After a while, the waiter brought Jiang Wei a bowl of glutinous glutinous rice balls.

Jiang Wei: "I didn't order this."

Waiter: "I told our chef that you are here, this bowl is delivered, you eat first, the food will be ready soon."

Jiang Wei picked up a small pink ball and put it in his mouth, feeling soft and sweet in his heart.

Not long after the dishes were served, Jiang Wei ate each dish carefully. Every time he put down his chopsticks, he thought that this dish was made by his family, Zi Lu, and couldn't help but feel that it was a bit more delicious.

After eating for more than an hour, I put down my chopsticks until my belly was about to burst. Looking at the rest of the plate, I only regret that I don’t have a rubber stomach that can stretch freely. If he is Luffy, then No matter how much delicious food Han Zilu cooks, he can finish it all at once.

Among all the dishes tonight, Jiang Wei's favorite is called "Crystal Seven Flavors".

The name is crystal clear, and the dishes are equally clear and attractive. In the celadon bowl, there are translucent cubes like sugar cubes, narrowing from bottom to top, piled up into a small pyramid, and the top of the tower is dotted with stars. The tender green onions are very attractive just by the appearance, not to mention the taste.

It melts in your mouth, perfectly combining refreshing texture and rich flavor.

This dish is special, Jiang Wei didn't even guess what it was made of after eating half of it, and only found out after looking through the menu that the ingredient of this dish is the most common white radish.

Jiang Wei was curious about how the humble white radish turned into a delicious crystal, so he asked the waiter when he came again, and only then did he know the skill in the dish.

First of all, this radish is not an ordinary product. No wonder, Zilu has always been the most picky about ingredients, and the things he comes out of are all high-end products that can be traced back to the source.

The second is the soup base. The flavors of seven or eight kinds of ingredients are concentrated in the soup, and then the taste of the soup is soaked into the small cubes after a slow fire. Finally, this seemingly inconspicuous but delicious dish is made with careful seasoning. Extraordinary dish.

Jiang Wei directly ate the dish to the bottom, and after eating, he was still not satisfied, biting his chopsticks and looking at the bottom of the bowl, thinking that Lu Zilu's cooking is just like him, unassuming but attentive.

His kindness to himself has never been mere formality, but has been in the details every bit, and it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people over time.

Unknowingly, there were fewer and fewer people in the restaurant. Apart from Jiang Wei, there were also two or three tables of sporadic people who were also chatting and drinking tea after the meal.

Finally when it was time to get off work, Jiang Wei called Han Zilu and told him that he was outside.

Even if he only listens to the voice, he can still feel the joy of Han Zilu. Jiang Wei is also happy when she hears that he is happy. Her heart is beating like a timer, counting every minute and every second. people for a few days.

Jiang Wei stared at the door tightly, like a monitor, as soon as Han Zilu's figure appeared, he stood up suddenly, almost wanting to stride over.

But at this moment, he saw that the people sitting at the tables in front of him also just got up and walked towards the door, their figures blocked his sight.

It was a girl with long curly hair. Jiang Wei wanted to go around her, but was surprised to find that the girl was going towards Han Zilu.

Han Zilu stood where he was, and Jiang Wei was a few steps slower, and the girl whispered softly, "Are you cooking all the dishes here? It's so delicious, you're amazing."

Han Zilu glanced at Jiang Wei, and then returned to the girl's face, "You... Li Qian?"

Li Qian walked up to Han Zilu, "I've only seen you for a few days, have you forgotten your name?"

Han Zilu: "No, it's just that we meet here by accident."

At this time, Jiang Wei had already walked to the side of the two of them, and naturally stood beside Han Zilu, shoulders touching each other, and the distance was very close, "This is?" He asked Han Zilu about the girl's identity.

The girl was quite generous, and she directly introduced herself, "Oh, hello, my name is Li Qian, and I belong to Zilu... friend, how about you? Are you his colleague?" He asked Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei almost didn't think about it, and directly wanted to say that he was Han Zilu's boyfriend, but Han Zilu answered first: "This is Jiang Wei, my roommate, let's go back together later."

The girl's gaze flicked from Jiang Wei's face back to Han Zilu's face, "So you live with someone? Where? How many rooms? Is it cheap for two people to share the rent? I still live in the company dormitory. But I also want to move out.”

Han Zilu: "I don't like places like dormitories either."

The girl showed excitement, "Really? I said it's not good to live with a group of people. Although it doesn't cost money, it's so uncomfortable. But my mother said that living in a dormitory saves money and is at ease, but I just want to live alone. , How free, but the rent is really expensive. It would be great if I could share the rent with others like you. Oh, yes, you want to go home? The subway, I don’t know if it’s on the way..."

While talking, the three of them arrived at the subway station together.Along the way, Jiang Wei hardly spoke, and Han Zilu seldom spoke, but the girl was very talkative, and there was hardly a moment of silence.

But a few people were on the way, until the girl got off at the station, Jiang Wei and Han Zilu had no time to stand face to face. Before that, the girl had been facing Han Zilu, almost pushing Jiang Wei out.

The subway was still crowded, Jiang Wei looked at Han Zilu, feeling a little upset.

This girl is the blind date Han Zilu mentioned, he didn't expect this at first, he only knew it after hearing the girl herself.

Before parting, the girl smiled and said: "I was so disturbed when I went to your house that day, I was very embarrassed, so I came to have a meal today to cheer you up, and it was a good companion for the abruptness at that time. Those grown-ups Don’t take it to heart if you’re talking about blind date or not, let’s start with ordinary friends first, and then we’ll get to know each other slowly.”

Literally, there seems to be no problem, but it sounds awkward.

It's fine if it's just like this, what really makes Jiang Wei uncomfortable is the phrase "roommate".

Sleeping on the same bed every day, and doing everything, he turned out to be a roommate.

Although I can understand that Han Zilu might just be embarrassed to say it out loud, these two words still make him feel uncomfortable, like a barb that has taken root in his body and cannot be seen and cannot be pulled out, but it is there, and it hurts when touched.

"What are you thinking? Why don't you speak?" Han Zilu asked.

"I think you're so busy." Jiang Wei was a little stunned, her tone uncontrollably slightly cold.

"I've been very busy recently, and I don't have much time to text you. Miss me?" Han Zilu's smile was warm, and the coldness in Jiang Wei's heart instantly warmed up.

"Think about it, how can you not think about it, I want to die." Jiang Wei took Han Zilu's hand, he thought about it all the way, and only then did he have a chance to pull it.

Still in the subway, Han Zilu was a little stiff and unnatural. It wasn't the first day Jiang Wei took the subway with him, so he knew that he was not used to doing such small movements in public.

A few times Jiang Wei deliberately wanted to kiss him in the subway, but he got off at the next station.

In the past, I only thought that this person was thin-skinned and cute, but now I have a pimple in my heart, but I feel something else.

"What are you doing? Is it so embarrassing to be with me? Not at all, I think I can barely handle it." Although Jiang Wei was complaining, her tone was like a joke. She tilted her head and was about to go to Han Zilu Kiss on the face.

Han Zilu turned sideways and dodged directly.

This matter was nothing before, but now it makes Jiang Wei feel blocked.

After holding back for another two stops, Jiang Wei couldn't take it anymore and directly pulled Han Zilu out of the car.

Swiping the card all the way out of the station, Jiang Wei hugged Han Zilu firmly at the gate, "What's wrong with the kiss?"

Han Zilu's expression was still warm, "Can't you bear it in public?"

"I really can't bear it!" Jiang Wei pushed Han Zilu against the wall and kissed him.

This station is not big, and there are not many people outside the station, but occasionally people pass by, and they stand in the brightest place under the street lights, which inevitably attracts the attention of several passers-by.

Jiang Wei exerted great force, and Han Zilu also struggled violently to break free.

When parting, both sides were frowning.

Seeing Han Zilu's expression, Jiang Wei's heart twitched, unable to speak, turned his head and left.

After a while, Han Zilu caught up, "Jiang Wei!"

Jiang Wei: "I'm fine."

Han Zilu: "It's nothing, what are you doing?"

"Did I make a fuss? Didn't I just kiss you? Oh yes, I have nothing to make a fuss about. Anyway, I'm just a roommate, and a roommate is not qualified to kiss you, right?"

His hand was pulled, Jiang Wei turned around, Han Zilu's expression under the street lamp was a little flustered, but more helpless, Jiang Wei felt a pain in his heart, and his whole chest was full of emotions, both angry and heartbroken, the two offset each other , I don’t know what to say.

Han Zilu frowned, "Blame me, I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings, I'm sorry, really, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Han Zilu in front of him was a little strange, Jiang Wei's heartache overwhelmed his anger, and he shook his head, "It's okay, I know, you just deal with her casually, I also have times like this, I don't bother to explain, it's more convenient to deal with it casually. "

Han Zilu shook his head violently, "I'm not afraid of trouble, I'm not dealing with it, I dare not say it, she knows my family, I'm not sure if she will help me keep the secret, so I dare not say it, so I'm sorry, you came to wait on purpose I'm off work, but I let you down, sorry, sorry..."

Han Zilu grabbed Jiang Wei's hands, looking extremely helpless, that made Jiang Wei a little worried, even faintly scared, he wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Seeing Han Zilu frowned more and more in front of him, biting his lower lip, as if he was enduring some pain, he squatted down slowly.

Jiang Wei couldn't pull him back, and he panicked for a moment, "What's wrong?"

Han Zilu squatted on the ground with his head buried, his body trembling.

What's going on here?

"Zi Lu? Zi Lu?" Jiang Wei pulled him up, and it took a long time for Han Zilu to stand up again, but he saw that his face was pale and almost bloodless, "What's the matter? What's wrong with you? Let's go Go to the hospital! Don't move, I'll call a car!"

Han Zilu grabbed him, shook his head, and smiled at him, the smile was also white, "I'm fine."

"It's okay, your face is so ugly!"

Han Zilu lied: "Maybe I was too busy, I didn't have time to eat at noon, and I didn't eat at night if I wasn't hungry..."

"Say it earlier! You are really a person, hey, you said it earlier, what are you talking about, let's eat! Oh, I packed the food for me, why don't you eat two bites first? Well, let's eat first , your face is a bit scary."

Jiang Wei couldn't help but said that he opened the packing box, took out the chopsticks and handed it to Han Zilu, holding the lunch box with his own hands, "Eat it, I'll help you, you finish this box first, and then we can go to eat in earnest." Good meal."

Han Zilu took a mouthful of vegetables, chewed slowly, and suddenly said after swallowing, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Wei: "What is there to be sorry for? If you really want to feel sorry, you can just eat well in the future."

Han Zilu: "I didn't mean that, I said what happened before, I'm sorry."

Jiang Wei felt anxious again, and wanted to inquire about Han Zilu's family situation carefully, but felt that the timing was not right, so he just said: "Stop apologizing, I'm to blame for this, I'm too narrow-minded, so I have to say I'm sorry Well, I'm sorry, please forgive me, and then we'll be even."

Han Zilu looked up at Jiang Wei, there seemed to be something in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, he just said "um" and then fell into silence.
