"Coriander?" Lu Jie frowned after getting the answer, "Why is it called coriander?"

And Pei Yiqing's answer was very simple: "Because I love to eat."

He smiled very sincerely, but he forgot that Lu Jie has always been a person who is very good at "seeing".

This person didn't touch any coriander at all when he was at the porridge shop today, how could he like it?Therefore, although coriander is indeed the scientific name of coriander, Lu Jie believes that the reason should be more than that simple.

Just like today when he asked Pei Yiqing why he went to fortune-telling, the other party always gave him ambiguous answers, which made him feel very uncomfortable.But if Pei Yiqing didn't say anything, he would never take the initiative to ask, and kept silent without speaking.

He didn't use any force when he opened the door, the entire anti-theft door was wide open, and Pei Yiqing could easily see what was inside.He didn't think this basement could live in people before, and he was surprised and novel when he suddenly saw the layout inside.

Especially when there were some equipment he didn't recognize inside, he glanced at it and said, "Are you writing songs?"

"Practice." Lu Jie nodded.

Pei Yiqing put his hands in his pockets and looked at him.

The two stood silently at each other, and Lu Jie knew that Pei Yiqing was curious about the equipment inside and wanted to go in and have a look.But he was still in the last topic about coriander. He felt that Pei Yiqing looked very approachable, but deep down he was a bottomless pit. No matter what, you couldn't see which one was Pei Yiqing's true self.

That being the case, he didn't need to show all of himself to Pei Yiqing, which made him feel a kind of unfairness of unequal information, and he cared about it very much.

However, he underestimated Pei Yiqing's unconventional way, and only heard the other party say: "Can I go in and have a look?"

If it was in the past, Lu Jie would have made a bad face and directly threw it at him, scolding who are you? If you want to see it, I will show you stupid things, but he feels that if he is facing Pei Yiqing, he will make a fuss over a molehill.After all, this person helped him fight a few hours ago, and the friendship between them cannot be measured by strangers.

Although he knew, Pei Yiqing didn't think so.

He could only step back and make way for Pei Yiqing to walk in.The door was already narrow, and Pei Yiqing almost squeezed with him when he walked by.

After walking in, Pei Yiqing realized that the inside is quite big, at least all the furniture is more than enough.It's just a bit dark, not that the lights are not bright enough, but the inside is too closed, and there is a sense of suffocation when sitting in it.

He found a chair and sat down. There were some songs on the table, which seemed to be written by Lu Jie just now. The handwriting was very scribbled. The only lyrics that Pei Yiqing could understand were because Lu Jie's doggy characters were very difficult to decipher.

There was a guitar next to the piece, he glanced at Lu Jie beside him and said, "Can I pick it up and have a look?"

"Ah."

The guitar was unexpectedly heavy. Pei Yiqing imitated the posture on TV, put him on his lap, and plucked a string.I don't know if the way he opened it was wrong, the sound was very unpleasant when he dialed it.

"Your gesture is wrong," Lu Jie lowered/body, and plucked his finger on the string just now, "This way."

The sound he played was completely different from what Pei Yiqing dialed, although Pei Yiqing didn't understand the difference between the two methods.

He tried to play the same as Lu Jie, but the result was often exactly the same as before, so he gave up his finally ignited interest in music and put the guitar aside.He looked around and finally settled on Lu Jie.

The other party was standing by the table with his arms folded, with a calm expression on his face, but secretly unhappy.

He smiled and said, "Do you practice piano here every day?"

Lu Jie, however, answered the question irrelevantly: "The coriander is not closed yet, what should you do if there are thieves after you have been out for so long?"

Seeing his expression that was so cold that it was about to turn a layer of frost, Pei Yiqing leaned back.The chair was not firm, and creaked as soon as I leaned on it.He smiled again and said, "Do you want to exchange?"

He smiled casually, as if the person in front of him had his mind in his hands, laughing so much that Lu Jie just wanted to punch him a few times.

After a while of silence, he put away his smile and fell into memories: "When I was a child, I wanted to shop for a flower shop. At that time, I was thinking about what to sell, and then... There was a person who was very close to me who liked to eat coriander, and I Think about growing cilantro.

But if I really planted coriander, I guess I would have drunk the northwest wind by now, and then I would call the shop coriander, just as a thought. "

This memory is a bit long for Pei Yiqing, but when he recalled it, it was very clear.After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Jie, but Lu Jie was still looking at himself.

Very dear person?friend?Loved ones...or lovers?

Lu Jie thought about it in his heart, and finally found the point: "So it's not that you like to eat."

"Yes." Pei Yiqing replied frankly.

Not sincere.

Lu Jie put another label on Pei Yiqing in his heart.

Maybe it's age and experience at work, he has never seen a person who can hide and lie like Pei Yiqing, it's completely different from the happy and angry idiots around him.

He had no expression when he was thinking about the problem, and he looked like someone owed him 500 million. Seeing this, Pei Yiqing turned serious and said, "I really didn't lie to you this time."

He seldom talked about this past, others just laughed and laughed when they knew that coriander was coriander. Lu Jie was the first person to ask this question besides Zhou You. I have to say that Lu Jie is indeed a very perceptive person people.

"I don't like coriander either." The silent atmosphere was finally broken by Lu Jie's voice.

Pei Yiqing was stunned, and said, "I thought you were angry."

Hearing the words, all laughed, and set his eyes on the guitar on the table, "I occasionally practice the piano here, mostly for composing music, and the rest of the time I'm in the practice room."

Pei Yiqing nodded to express his understanding, and then said, "Where can I see your performance—hey, did you receive commercial performances later?"

The voice fell, but he didn't wait for Lu Jie's answer.Lu Jie raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were full of scrutiny.

Lu Jie didn't answer his question, but put the guitar back into the bag without a word.

Pei Yiqing knew why he suddenly ignored her.

Probably because I feel that I am not honest enough.

At his age, Pei Yiqing also attaches great importance to being honest with each other.He hid a lot today and lied again. Even though Lu Jie, a cool guy, matured like an adult, like most of his peers, he was unhappy with his insincerity.

What a kid.

Seeing this, he got up and said, "I'll go first."

"En." Lu Jie nodded, stood up and opened the closed security door again. The cats outside the door had already left, leaving only a clean plastic bowl left.

Pei Yiqing said: "If the kitten comes to the door again, you can find me next door."

"Understood." Lu Jie said goodbye and closed the door.

In fact, he couldn't say that he was unhappy, but he felt that since Pei Yiqing asked himself many questions, he should reveal himself accordingly. This is the same as if I give you a peach, you have to give me back a plum.

He sat back on the chair, picked up and put down the pen, and finally closed his eyes to rest.Not long after, there was another knock on the door. He frowned, thinking that Pei Yiqing had forgotten something, and he frowned even more after opening the door.

"How did you come?"

"I'm here," Pei Yiqing packed up his things and went out. He chatted with Lu Jie and forgot the time. It was only when he left that he remembered that he had a dinner date with Zhou You and his girlfriend today.

He walked to the intersection under the overpass, and subconsciously buried his face in his neckline. Fortunately, Banxian'er seemed to be closed at night, and there was no one under the bridge long ago.He stood in the cold wind for a while and saw Zhou You's car approaching, he opened the door and sat behind.

A piece of pure music was played in the car, Pei Yiqing said hello to his girlfriend, and then heard Zhou You say, "Where's your car?"

"It's a long story, I parked downstairs in someone else's company," Pei Yiqing sat for a while and finally warmed up, "Put me there after eating, and I'll drive my car back."

Zhou You smiled when he heard the words: "From your tone, the past few days have been full of ups and downs."

"A little bit." Pei Yiqing nodded subconsciously, remembering Lu Jie's expressionless face just now.

The place where they met was in the shopping plaza in the city center. There was a new Japanese grocery store opened here, and Zhou You's girlfriend had a stake in it.

"Hey, you managed to treat me to a meal, and even offered a discount." Pei Yiqing said while sitting by the window.

"I didn't get a discount, I bought it at the original price," Zhou You looked at his girlfriend, Ke Ke, and smiled very dissolutely, "Isn't it?"

Ke Ke glanced at Pei Yiqing and nodded shyly.

Seeing this, Pei Yiqing covered her eyes, "I'm full before dinner."

Because there was a discount for the opening, there were quite a lot of people in the shop, and Qi Pei Yiqing was already so hungry that his chest was on his back when the dishes were served.Zhou You ate the sashimi in one gulp, and asked excitedly and curiously, "By the way, what have you been doing these days? Tell me quickly."

Pei Yiqing glanced at him, and recounted his experiences of the past few days in detail, but Zhou You's girlfriend was present, so he didn't tell what happened tonight.And Zhou You, his best friend, lived up to expectations and slapped the table with laughter while listening, Pei Yiqing wanted to throw him out of the shop for a moment.

"Oh my god, you've been unlucky lately," Zhou You laughed until tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, "I really want to meet your neighbor, it's interesting to see."

As soon as the words were finished, Pei Yiqing saw a familiar figure on the side of the street. The man was wearing a hat, and only a little smoky blue hair was exposed.There was a person standing next to him, which made Pei Yiqing feel very familiar, as if it was the love he saw on Valentine's Day.

"What's the matter?" Zhou You looked outside, "Did you see your neighbor?"

When Pei Yiqing heard this, he looked away, glanced at Zhou You and said, "It's okay."
