Released

Some things always come unexpectedly.

Zhou Xi stared blankly at the hot fried rice in the pot: "Two servings?"

Lu Xiangyang turned off the stove, and raised his hand to turn off the range hood.The room fell silent for a moment, only the tick-tock of the oven could be heard.

"Yes, two copies." Boss Lu repeated, bent down to open the disinfection cupboard, "Aunt Xu is an old man who lives alone. I heard from Brother Shun that Aunt Xu's family has recently come to take care of her. What if they are all there?"

"Ah." Zhou Xi didn't know whether to play dumb, "You guys know each other well?"

In addition to the store, Aunt Xu also has several properties on Huahua Street, all of which are spacious and bright residential buildings, and there is no shortage of houses to live in.It's just that the old man usually likes to join in the fun, and wants to collect rent and manage it conveniently, so he lives in the Narcissus community on Huahua Street.

The Flower Street deserves its name, and all the communities use the names of flowers.The apartment buildings in the community are relatively old, but it is very convenient to live in.

In fact, Lu Xiangyang knew more or less that what Aunt Xu couldn't let go of was the Sunflower Kindergarten that she had devoted her whole life to.

Aunt Xu usually has the habit of going downstairs for a walk. She always likes to sit on the bench at the door in the afternoon when the kindergarten children are out of school and watch the children playing in the garden.When the sun set and the flow of people subsided, she walked home slowly with a vegetable basket in her hand.

Sometimes when Lu Xiangyang came out to deliver goods, he would pass by the kindergarten, and he could see Aunt Xu sitting alone in the afterglow, facing a group of chattering children, with a gentle smile in her eyes.

"How should I put it, my landlord." Lu Xiangyang took out two bowls from the disinfection cabinet, "I usually take good care of me. I sent her a message last time, but I didn't reply later, and I don't know if I'm in good health." Not at all."

Zhou Xi knew very well that he was the one who replied to the message Lu Xiangyang sent to Aunt Xu that day.

Aunt Xu has recently suffered from old cold legs, and it is inconvenient to go up and down the stairs.When he went to visit Aunt Xu that day, he helped her clean up the junk software in her phone, and by chance, he received the rent transferred from Lu Xiangyang.

As soon as Lu Xiangyang was mentioned, Aunt Xu was very happy, saying that this boy was very skilled, kind-hearted, and handsome. When Zhou Xi was not in China, Lu Xiangyang helped her a lot.

Aunt Xu patted Zhou Xi on the shoulder and said, "You haven't seen it, this child has light on him."

But from the beginning, Zhou Xi, with the idea of ​​integrating into the common people, has been silent all the way until now. At this moment, his heart is in a mess.

It's only one step away from eating Boss Lu's pineapple fried rice.Now no matter what he reveals, he will reopen this distance.

Some things are better left unsaid than spoken out. The relationship between people is really too complicated.

Zhou Xi decided to leave it alone and think about it after eating.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that he was silent, Lu Xiangyang walked over with his meal and gave him a strange look, "Do you want to rent a house?"

"That's not necessary. I live, you have been to me..." Zhou Xi suddenly got stuck when he said this word, he blinked quickly, and struggled to finish the sentence, "My house is downstairs."

"That's right." Lu Xiangyang remembered, "Spring District, that place is pretty good."

As soon as the words fell, a bowl of pineapple fried rice was placed in front of Zhou Xi.

Colorful, with the bright colors of the Hawaiian coast, the aroma hits the face.

"Try it." Lu Xiangyang leaned against the edge of the table and smiled, and handed him a pair of chopsticks with one hand.

Zhou Xi reached out to pick it up, turned the chopsticks upside down and tapped them to align, picked up the fried rice and put it in his mouth.

With this bite, the sour juice of the pineapple overflows and fills the lips and tongue. As soon as the crispy sausage slices are bitten open, the sweet honey juice flows out, mixed with diced potatoes and diced onions. This kind of fresh meat has been matured The unique flavor that develops after drying is unrivaled.

There was only one thought in Zhou Ximan's mind.

In order to maintain the qualification of Cengfan, you can't say anything about him to death.

Zhou Xi couldn't even speak, and just kept nodding his head.

Lu Xiangyang laughed happily, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip: "It's delicious."

His teeth are very white, bright and neat. When he smiles, his eyes are bright and his teeth are bright, as if there is light gathering on him.

Zhou Xi stared at the teacup in Boss Lu's hand. He checked for a long time, but the chopsticks in his hand stopped, hesitant to speak.

"Um……"

Boss Lu didn't notice.He took another sip triumphantly.

Zhou Xi tried his best to calm down: "Boss Lu, this should... be the cup I drank from."

Lu Xiangyang paused, and the tea leaked from his lips.

There's a word for it - get carried away.

"...I'll pour you another glass." Lu Xiangyang reacted quickly, picked up the glass, turned around and left.

Zhou Xi looked out of the corner of his eye, the smug shopkeeper was secretly wiping his mouth with his hand.

Ever since he accidentally hooked Lu Xiangyang's waist last time, Zhou Xi felt something was wrong.There were more men fighting around him, and it was rare to see such a violent reaction.

So is the waist, and so is the water glass.Guys generally don't care about this.

unless.

Someone told him before, unless the subconscious mind in the human heart pays special attention to certain aspects.

Zhou Xi narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

There are two other deluxe versions of pineapple fried rice on the workbench. The reason why it is called deluxe version is that the container is not an ordinary bowl, but the pineapple that Boss Lu just emptied in advance.

The hollowed out place is now filled with brightly colored fried rice, and the prickly pineapple skin is wrapped with a layer of tin foil for easy access, and it is neatly placed in the packing box.

Zhou Xi asked him: "Do you want to send it over now?"

"I think so too." Lu Xiangyang pointed to the gauze on top of his head, "But if I go there like this, the old man will have to worry about seeing it again. Doesn't this cause trouble?"

"That's right." Zhou Xi thought for a while, "Why don't you send it to the whole city?"

At this time, the copper bell jingled suddenly, the store door was pushed open, and the courier brother stretched half of his body in.

"Brother Shun?! You came just in time!" Lu Xiangyang was obviously overjoyed, his eyes lit up, and a small light bulb almost popped out of his head.

From Zhou Xi's point of view, the way Boss Lu is looking at the courier brother is no different from the way a big bad wolf looks at a little white rabbit.

"You express it, sign it." Brother Shun put down the package, belatedly stood up and sniffed it vigorously, "What does it smell like, it smells so good, it smells good no matter what you do."

"Brother Shun. Handsome guy. Big handsome guy Shun Shun." Lu Xiangyang held two pineapple rice affectionately with a sincere face, "You promise me one thing."

"Don't, don't, don't. Don't do this to me." Brother Shun was so frightened that he leaned back, "I know what I look like, so put your farts away."

Lu Xiangyang blinked: "Do me a favor, help me deliver a meal to Aunt Xu."

"Fuck me. If you don't have anything to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall." Brother Shun returned with a huge white eye, "You're lucky, I happen to have the documents for Aunt Xu's building in my hand. Why don't you go by yourself?"

"I'm out of shape." Lu Xiangyang pointed at his forehead, "I might be questioned when I go. Just tell Aunt Xu that I'm busy with business today, and I'll go see her another day."

"Okay." Brother Shun was about to go out with the pineapple rice in hand, when he turned around and saw Zhou Xi who was sitting in a small corner eating with great relish.

Brother Shun took a step back and closed the door again: "Tell me, why do new customers have food?"

Lu Xiangyang thought for a second and said, "He is a VIP customer."

Zhou Xi adjusted his glasses cooperatively.

Brother Shun asked again: "Lunch for VIP customers?"

Lu Xiangyang said firmly: "This is a monthly meal ticket."

As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar sound of coins falling came from Boss Lu's mobile phone.

"Jie Fubao arrived, 2000 yuan."

Very loud.

Boss Lu turned his head stiffly, and saw Zhou Xi was holding his mobile phone to the payment code posted on his table, and pressed his fingerprints as if nothing had happened.

Brother Shun took a deep breath, and bowed ninety degrees to Zhou Xi: "Hello boss, come often in the future, take care of us Xiaoyang."

Poor Boss Lu couldn't breathe after being hit by the 2000 yuan, he waved at Brother Shun dumbly.

Brother Shun took his food and left with peace of mind.

Zhou Xi ate very slowly.He only ate half a bowl after a while, and it can be seen that he has been used to it since he was a child. He eats quietly and elegantly, and he doesn't say a word when there is something in his mouth.

"Brother Xi." Lu Xiangyang brought over the meal, and sat down opposite him with a serious face, "Well, I was joking."

Zhou Xi swallowed what was in his mouth, took a sip of tea, and then raised his eyes to look at him: "Huh?"

"I, I mean." Lu Xiangyang suddenly didn't know where to start to explain, "You really want to come here for dinner?"

The 2000 yuan can be paid to Xiaohua first.Lu Xiangyang gritted his teeth and thought, isn't this kid in a hurry to spend money for his mother's medical treatment?

Money is not a bastard.

"Is it not possible?" Zhou Xi put down his chopsticks as soon as he spoke, "Food expenses."

"But if we get busy, sometimes we can't serve meals on time, sometimes we just order takeaway." Lu Xiangyang said with a bitter face, "It doesn't matter to us, it's really hard to have hungry customers."

"Well, if you have something to eat, you can call me." Zhou Xi said, "I live alone and I don't know how to cook, so I might as well come to your place to eat. If you are too busy to eat, just use it as a recharge card and buy some snacks You buckle in."

"Success." Zhou Xi's statement also made sense.Lu Xiangyang readily agreed, usually he and Xiao Hua would also fire together, and he didn't mind having an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.

Besides, this person seems to be quite easy to get along with.

Zhou Xi was very attentive while eating.Not distracted, not talking, his world is only dishes and the taste in his mouth.In contrast, Boss Lu was extremely busy eating a meal, not only his mouth was busy, but his hands were also busy—he was busy replying to that red-dotted WeChat message all day long.

I have to get up and walk around with chopsticks, and take care of the condition of the cake embryos in the oven.

There was a crisp "ding" from the oven. Lu Xiangyang was ready a long time ago, and quickly pulled the cake mold out of the oven, and placed it upside down on the grill on the workbench.

Today's chiffon cake is baked, pure custard fragrance.Fortunately, Zhou Xi was already full.

"Today's order?" Zhou Xi wiped his mouth with a tissue.

His bowl was clean, not even a single grain of rice was left.

Lu Xiangyang silently looked at his shiny bowl and the neatly folded tissue in his hand, and decided in his heart that this person definitely had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Well, it's still early." Boss Lu took off the heat-resistant gloves, "The cream can only be served after it's completely cooled."

Satisfied, Zhou Xi, who was full, finally started his work today, holding his computer and staring at it.Lu Xiangyang cleaned up the dishes and was standing behind the workbench wearing an apron.He glanced around in boredom, and his eyes finally stopped on Zhou Xi.

At some point, Zhou Xi's arm was loosely rolled up with a section of sleeve, revealing the silver-white watch on his wrist and his slender and strong forearm.

Lu Xiangyang suddenly remembered that Zhou Xi's arms were around his waist last night.

The muscles of the forearm were very tight, firmly attached to his lower abdomen, and he could even feel Zhou Xi's body temperature.

Classmate Lu managed to distract himself. When he was wearing the apron, the end of the rope slipped out of his fingers, and he tied a knot for himself.

"..."

It is not good to meet people who are not good.

"Ding ding. You have a new message."

The pop-up window of WeChat jumped out at this time.Lu Xiangyang gave up catching and untying the rope, he picked up his phone and clicked on it.

It was sent by Qingqing.

Sister Qingqing's habit is to type, and she basically can't send voice notes. If there is something urgent, she will call directly. She is a straightforward girl.

-Qingqing flower shop: Xiao Lu, for Mother Hua's illness, I still need to go to a big hospital to see her.An acquaintance recommended an attending doctor to me, so we won't go there today. Xiaohua and I will go to the People's Hospital first in the afternoon.

-Qingqing Huadian: Oh, let me tell you, that doctor looks as good as you.

-Qingqing Flower Shop: Take a photo later for your identification.

Lu Xiangyang sneered and replied with his head buried.

-Sunflower Yiluqian: I have never lost in a handsome competition.

It seems that Sister Qingqing has been playing with her mobile phone, almost replying in seconds.

-Qingqing Huadian: Come on, if the customer brother of yours last night didn't wear glasses, he would be no worse than you.

Lu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, and he secretly glanced at Zhou Xi, but he really couldn't imagine him taking off his glasses.

-Sunflower Yilu forward: How do you know?

-Qingqing flower shop: I have seen countless people, do you dare to bet?
