Pretend to be nice

When people get busy, time flies. When Lin Guan came out of his trance, it was already November. There was a heavy rain last night, and the next day it changed completely. The sycamore leaves downstairs also fell overnight. It was completely yellow and fell off, and the cleaning lady complained and cleaned it.

After all, she is getting older, and when she was young, she would still look at the coming and going of spring and autumn with emotion. Time flies, life is short, and now she has no waves in her heart, and she even turned around and went into the room to drink a cup of scented tea made by Li Qinghe himself.

Li Qinghe, who came out in a daze in white short-sleeved clothes in the morning, was urged by Lin Guan to put on a gray cotton jacket and change into long trousers.

Perhaps it was because the large cotton coat looked very warm, which softened Li Qinghe's sharp silhouette. She sat cross-legged on the carpet and drank scented tea with her eyes downcast, looking docile and well-behaved.

Li Qinghe frowned at the oncoming wind, but soon Lin Guan closed the door, Li Qinghe raised his head and smiled at her, the weather was getting colder tomorrow, her smile still seemed to be summer.

Lin Gu'an often couldn't figure out why she always laughed inexplicably, but she didn't feel disgusted, and attributed this behavior to the fact that the big dog liked it after wagging its tail.

Going over to sit on the sofa, she touched Li Qinghe's head naturally. Li Qinghe squinted her eyes and rubbed against it. She didn't pause until Lin Guan moved her hand away. She lowered her head and poured the pot of flower tea into the water ripple in the glass.

The light yellow tea soup was steaming in the glass, exuding a light and sweet osmanthus fragrance. This scented tea was bought by Li Qinghe through Xia Zhicheng's relationship some time ago.

The old man has been making scented tea for decades, and the craftsmanship of brewing scented tea is very famous in Nancheng, but now that he is getting older, the output of scented tea is not high, and many people have been queuing up for years to drink it. Li Qinghe stole Being lazy, I asked Xia Zhicheng to bring two bags.

It's just that Lin Gu'an and Lin Gu'an didn't drink scented tea very much. After listening to a bunch of chamomile, lily, and snow lotus, they chose the sweet-scented osmanthus that was the least error-prone.

Li Qinghe touched the wall of the cup and handed it to Lin Guan after confirming that the temperature was suitable. Lin Guan also changed out of the thin nightdress and put on loose cotton home clothes, but just went outside to blow the wind. Still feeling cool, I simply hugged the cup to keep warm.

Li Qinghe sat cross-legged and numb, and leaned on the sofa to bend his legs and stood up. He took scented tea and began to sip it in small sips. Qinghe is ready to buy a few more packs to keep at home.

The two sat quietly for a while, nestling comfortably in the living room, drinking scented tea with a glass cup in their hands, and looking at the gloomy weather outside, they were very satisfied with the warm and comfortable atmosphere now.

If it wasn't for Yang Siyue calling to break the peace, the two of them could still sit for a while.

"So An, are you all at home?"

"Hmm," Lin Gu'an answered while holding the connected phone.

"Today's weather is the most suitable for eating hot pot,"

Lin Gu'an couldn't pretend that he didn't understand her hint, so he could only ask Li Qinghe.

Li Qinghe shrugged, expressing that he didn't care.

"Where to eat?"

"Just stay at home, I'll buy some hot pot bottoms."

Lin Gu'an looked at Li Qinghe, Li Qinghe paused and nodded.

"Okay, then come over around four o'clock."

Lin Guan hung up the phone, Li Qinghe paused for a while and asked: "My former roommate also asked if we want to eat hot pot together."

"Let them come over and eat together?"

"Okay," Li Qinghe nodded, and continued: "Then I have to go to the supermarket to buy something."

"Okay, let's go out now? I told Siyue not to buy hot pot ingredients, we will buy them ourselves later."

"it is good,"

"Then I'll change clothes."

"Okay," Li Qinghe started the repeater, Lin Gu'an remembered that she was like this when she first came here, couldn't help smiling, touched the big dog's head and got up to change clothes.

—

Because of the sudden drop in temperature and Saturday's rest, people's desire to go out has subsided sharply, and people in the huge supermarket are scattered.

Li Qinghe pushed the shopping cart and walked beside Lin Guan, because neither of them liked to eat snacks very much, and there was a large vegetable market on the road from the school to the community for the ingredients that needed to be bought frequently, so the two came to the supermarket The number of times is pitifully small.

Lin Guan took care of Li Qinghe's children and picked some snacks like potato chips. Before that, he asked Li Qinghe what his friends liked to eat.

As a result, Li Qinghe frowned and thought for a while and brought two of the largest bottles of Feizhai Happy Water over. Lin Gu'an was dumbfounded for a moment, and could only watch and buy it by himself.

"Do you want to buy some snacks?" Lin Guan picked and picked and finally put a pack of barbecue-flavored potato chips into the shopping cart, thinking that the child next to him hadn't picked up anything before asking.

Li Qinghe, who was still staring at the corner of Lin Guan's windbreaker, was taken aback for a moment, touched his nose unnaturally, and said, "I don't eat snacks very much, let's see, there is something mint-flavored."

The weather is getting colder, so it will be difficult to pick up the mint leaves that are going to survive the winter in the future, but recently I have become used to drinking mint and eating mint, so I can only find some substitutes.

Lin Gu'an gave her a look, and said helplessly, "You finally realized that so many mints are going to be bald by you?"

The culprit, Li Qinghe, could only laugh.

There are not many mint-flavored snacks, and chewing gum and hard candy are easy to damage teeth. Lin Guan can only choose a few boxes of mint-flavored soft candies for her.

Li Qinghe has no objection to this, as long as it is mint flavored.

Pushing the shopping cart to the vegetable side, Lin Gu'an, who was at the front, backed away automatically, and returned Li Qinghe's home court to her.

With an indistinct smile in Li Qinghe's eyes, he took Lin Gu'an into his encirclement before starting to choose ingredients.

In fact, it is not difficult, except for Lin Guan, they are all carnivores, and no one has any food that needs attention. Li Qinghe buys boldly, beef and mutton are taken in several plates.

Lin Guan must buy the seafood and vegetables that Lin Guan likes. First, he picked a few catties of prawns. Auntie helped to remove the heads and get the prawn threads. Li Qinghe felt that the prawn slips made in the supermarket were not tender enough because of the starch, so he planned to make them himself.

Lin Gu'an looked at the pile of meat and said that he bought too much and couldn't finish it.

Li Qinghe was silent for a while, and said seriously: "Don't underestimate a group of female college students. I bought so many because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to grab them."

Lin Gu'an hadn't been a female college student for many years, so he really didn't know much about it. Hearing what Li Qinghe said was so scary, he could only nod heavily, refreshing his mind's evaluation of female college students' food intake.

Vegetables are even simpler. Young people today are all carnivores, and vegetarian dishes are just decorations that look not monotonous when placed next to them. Li Qinghe can buy whatever vegetables Lin Guan wants to eat.

There was no pot for cooking hot pot at home, so they had to pick another mandarin duck pot with hot pot base ingredients, and both of them returned home with stuffed bags in both hands.

Yang Siyue was already waiting at the door, watching the two men scrambling up the stairs, she trotted over to help.

However, Yang Siyue's work can only be done by helping to move everything to the kitchen, and the two kitchen novices retreated to the living room automatically.

After Li Qinghe climbed the stairs carrying the two heaviest bags, thin sweat broke out on his forehead, and the thick clothes that were just right were a little stuffy, and he frowned and wanted to take off his coat.

Just after the zipper was pulled down, there was a soft hum from the living room, and Li Qinghe's arm that hadn't come out slipped back from his sleeve again, very well-behaved.

Yang Siyue's mocking voice didn't make Li Qinghe pull the zipper again.

The school was close, and Mu Ziheng's group arrived soon. Mu Ziheng also lived in this community when he was a child, and often came to play with Li Qinghe, so he almost opened the door and entered by himself.

Li Qinghe introduced a few people, and then drove them into the kitchen to work without any hesitation.

Lin Guan and Lin Guan still felt embarrassed and came over to help, but were driven back by Li Qinghe. They were reluctant to part with Lin Guan and afraid of Yang Siyue. After all, Yang Siyue was among the burnt skewers last time they went camping. A credit.

With the help of three people, Li Qinghe felt a little more relaxed. He handed over all the vegetables and other things to them, and tossed the shrimp by himself.

Shrimp slippery looks simple, but in fact it is very cumbersome. Li Qinghe first removes the shells and deveined fresh shrimps, washes them and controls the moisture to make the shrimp slippery more chewy, and then turns the shrimp into a paste with a knife ,, and then slowly use a knife to scrape the shrimp paste into mud, and finally beat it repeatedly with the back of the knife.

The kitchen was bang bang by Li Qinghe, Mu Ziheng next to him was washing vegetables with his sleeves rolled up, he was stunned for a moment, with a dull hair standing on top of his head.

Wu Xiao was handling other seafood, and joked: "I don't know, I thought you were chopping some big bones."

Chang Chun, who helped Wu Xiao, quickly answered: "The sound of bones in the middle of the night, what is crying out in pain? Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality? Please watch today's focus interview."

Li Qinghe stopped slapping, glanced at the abalone the two were tossing, and said quietly: "Don't want to eat?"

Those who know the current affairs are Junjie, and the three of them immediately shook their heads and admitted their mistake.

Li Qinghe continued to shoot shrimp.

"Your child is quite fierce." Yang Siyue sat on the sofa leisurely, looked at the bustling kitchen and turned around and joked with Lin Gu'an.

Lin Guan gave her a blank look and didn't speak.

Yang Siyue smiled to herself: "Haven't you won yet?"

Lin Gu'an turned again.

"Ms. Lin's speed is a bit slow."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Yang, who doesn't even have a crush?"

Yang Siyue: "...", Lin Gu'an, you are so ruthless.

After the weather changed, even the sun went down faster, and a few people were busy finally tossing the hot pot and sitting in rows.

The steaming hot pot base smelled of food, Lin Gu'an was afraid that these children would be shy, and told them not to restrain themselves, but they didn't regard themselves as outsiders at all, and grabbed the meat and flew away.

Yang Siyue quickly joined the battlefield with chopsticks in hand, Lin Guan remained silent.

Li Qinghe, who was sitting next to her, let out a muffled laugh, grabbed a piece of beef for her, and comforted her: "It's okay, they're all a bunch of thick-skinned guys."

"Hey, I seem to hear someone slandering me?"

"What cheek, oh, I'm so sad, is this what Qinghe, whom I once loved so much, said?"

"When my son grows up, his heart will be biased. If he eats something, he will blame me."

"No, yes"

Chang Chun, Wu Xiao, and Mu Ziheng said back and forth, and the last one was Yang Siyue, who still had beef in his mouth, making a sound of approval.

"Eating can't stop your mouths," Li Qinghe said unhappily, and grabbed another piece of shrimp and slipped it to Lin Gu'an.

It was now that the hot pot was full of excitement, none of Li Qinghe's roommates was serious, and Yang Siyue, who couldn't calm down, was chattering at the dinner table.

Li Qinghe didn't talk much, but he would pick up a few jokes, and at other times he was busy grabbing meat for Lin Guan.

Lin Gu'an listened to their quarrel, and even persuaded Li Qinghe to leave her alone and eat quickly.

Li Qinghe paused, saying that without me, you might have the first unsatisfactory meal at home.

Lin Guan was silent again.

Mu Ziheng rushed to the rescue.

The sweet-mouthed king Mu Ziheng and the others just knew that the two were dancing, and immediately started blowing a series of rainbow farts. Yang Siyue, who had seen the big scene, was also coaxed to smile.

Lin Guan was also smiling.

Li Qinghe had nothing to say to the three stinky farts, so he could only kick one of them in private.

The vengeful Mu Ziheng immediately dug a hole for her, Li Qinghe's mouth tightened again, and he gave all three of them an abalone.

While eating and chatting, several people mentioned to go to the hot springs in Teng City. Teng City is rich in geothermal energy and famous for its many hot springs, and it is only over an hour's drive from Nancheng. Tonight, I rushed to go to the hot springs for a night. Be back tomorrow afternoon.

The four of Li Qinghe don't have to go to class on Sunday, and Lin Guan and Yang Siyue have no arrangements. Mu Ziheng knows the owner of a hotel over there, and after calling to find out that there are still enough rooms, several people decide on the spot that Li Qinghe and Yang Siyue will be the ones. Drive to Teng City to soak in the hot springs.

This matter was decided so easily. When Li Qinghe sat in the driver's seat, he was still a little dazed, but when Lin Guan sat in the co-pilot, these dazed emotions were covered up and faintly revealed. A little joy.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, sit down? Let's go!"
