========================

Xi Yuduo’s residential complex was built at the end of the last century, and his life expectancy is almost 40 years. In recent years, the government has allocated funds to repair, maintain the walls of the building, add elevators, and update pipes, which can extend his life for another 20 years.

But also because the building is too old and the area is small, the house is either sold to families who are convenient for their children to go to school, or to newlyweds with cash-strapped money, or rented out to nearby office workers.Xi Yuduo rented one of the houses. It has one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The area is just [-] square meters. The landlord has redecorated it a few years ago, using logs in a large area and embellished with other colors. hour.The last time Song Mengyuan came here, he felt that this place fit Xi Yuduo's low-key, simple yet tasteful style.

Xi Yuduo liked the convenient corner of the house, clean decoration, high quality and low price.Qi Ye liked the extra fireworks brought by the house she was using, so he asked her to borrow it for a day and a night.

Song Mengyuan learned that he was staying at Xi Yuduo's house today, choked up a bit, and asked Xi Yuduo what to do, he must be going on a business trip, right?

Xi Yuduo personally opened the door for them, and when he heard Song Mengyuan's question, he smiled and said: "I still want to entertain you, how can I go away, the chairman asked me to stay in your hotel for one night, and I will go to work in the company during the day, so I won't leave." Disturbing the world of the two of you."

Song Mengyuan blushed: "I haven't dated the chairman yet."

Xi Yuduo just laughed, handed them slippers to wear, and then took Qi Ye to the kitchen: "I bought all the things according to your instructions, and put them on the refrigerator, and the drinks are in the sideboard."

Song Mengyuan sighed: "It's my birthday, and I need to cook by myself."

Qi Ye opened the refrigerator to check the ingredients, without turning his head: "Who said you cook, I cook."

Song Mengyuan was startled: "It's just you, can you do it?"

After counting the ingredients, Qi Ye turned to look at her: "There are so many recipes on the Internet, I can follow them."

Xi Yuduo couldn't help laughing: "In short, Xiao Song should rest well today, enjoy the blessing of the day, and enjoy the service of the chairman."

She also told Qi Ye and Song Mengyuan some water and electricity usage, and left the two of them with their bags and shoes to go to work.

Qi Ye invited Song Mengyuan to sit on the loveseat sofa in the living room, asked her what to drink, went to the bar to pour two drinks, and came back to sit side by side with Song Mengyuan.

Song Mengyuan took the cup and held it in his hand, and asked curiously, "How did you come here to celebrate my birthday?"

Qi Ye took a sip of brown sugar milk and looked back at her: "Is Xi Yuduo's taste good?"

"Well, it feels like home here."

"If I hadn't gone to Europe with my parents back then, maybe I would have bought a house like this, lived with you, and lived a good life." Qi Ye supported the mug and meditated, "If I can get together with you smoothly, There will be an incentive to make a lot of money.”

Song Mengyuan was silent, lowered her head and took a sip of milk tea.

"When I saw the house that Xi Yuduo bought, it seemed as if I saw another possibility for us. I think at least today, we can have such a dream."

Song Mengyuan was moved, but felt that something was wrong.

"Before I officially celebrate your birthday, I have something to confess to you." Qi Ye put the mug on the special-shaped coffee table, turned to face Song Mengyuan, with a very solemn expression.

Song Mengyuan suddenly knew what Qi Ye was going to say, hesitated for a while, and then slowly met Qi Ye's gaze.

"I moved my company back to China, and I haven't been able to make up my mind whether to meet you. I am very scared, very, very afraid of contacting you, and my heart is full of many concerns. The other me has been urging me, but I have no certainty .”

Song Mengyuan listened silently, this should be the first time she heard Xiao Jin confide her thoughts.

"In order to relieve the anxiety about contacting you, I want to at least understand your current situation and what you are thinking, so I try to get to know you indirectly through your good friends. After investigation, I found that the only contact you have had in the past two years is My friend is Yuan Yichen."

"You went to find her?"

"Yes, I contacted her once during the festival last October, but she didn't immediately agree."

Song Mengyuan was a little surprised, and felt that Yuan Yichen didn't agree right away, maybe it was because Qi Ye wanted to be a white wolf and didn't give money, right?

"I promised Yuan Yichen a favor, but she also refused."

"Then how did she agree to you later?" Song Mengyuan was even more surprised.

"Because she was in trouble at the time, and I offered to help her, she was too embarrassed to refuse me. In addition, I sincerely wanted to get back together with you. She probably thought that I was rich now and could cover you, so she agreed. At that time, you just came out of Haicheng and went to Luancheng to apply for a job, this is also a key point."

Song Mengyuan was silent, and suddenly sighed, "What benefits did you promise her?"

"I bought her a large flat of more than 200 square meters, renovated it, and paid the property fee for 30 years."

"where?"

Qi Ye said the name of a community, and Song Mengyuan memorized it, only waiting to harass Yuan Yichen when he had time in the future.

"I know that if this matter is not done well, it will hurt you and be unfair to you." Qi Ye paused, and then said cautiously, "But this really relieved my anxiety to a great extent and made me feel better. I have the courage to approach you, otherwise I don't know when I will meet you again."

Song Mengyuan pursed her lips and remained silent, as if she was still holding a breath.

"Anyway, I always took a chance and did something wrong, so I want to give up this approach... If it makes you very angry and hurt your heart, you can scold me or ask me to make it up to you."

Qi Ye lowered his body slightly, lowered his head slightly, and carefully looked at Song Mengyuan's face from bottom to top, in a completely low-key posture.

Song Mengyuan sighed: "You are a ghost, you have confessed like this, what else can I do with you?"

"Then you forgive me?"

Song Mengyuan turned her head, "No, I still don't want to forgive you so easily."

Qi Ye moved closer to her, "You can ask me, and I will definitely do it, as long as you can relieve your anger, forgive me."

Song Mengyuan stopped looking at Qi Ye's face and began to think.

Seeing that Song Mengyuan hadn't moved, Qi Ye became a little anxious, got off the sofa, knelt down at Song Mengyuan's feet: "You can punish me."

Song Mengyuan was taken aback, and quickly turned away Qi Ye's head: "I don't like this, you sit back quickly."

"Just tell me quickly, what do I need to do to calm down?"

Song Mengyuan couldn't be bothered, so she had to say: "How about this, you first hide it from Yuan Yichen for me, don't let her know that I already know, and I will punish her properly."

Qi Ye nodded, congratulating himself for a moment, almost following Yuan Yichen's footsteps.

"In the future, you are not allowed to take the initiative to bring up the matter of getting back together. I will naturally tell you if I think it is okay..."

Qi Ye could only nod his head, feeling scared.

"The bed that I owed you before will be cancelled. The good morning kiss will also be cancelled. Without my permission, you must not touch me."

Qi Ye was struck by a thunderbolt, and his whole body was completely wilted like frost. He gritted his teeth, pursed his mouth, held back his tears, and nodded his head reluctantly, unable to lift his head again.

Seeing this, Song Mengyuan almost couldn't laugh out loud, and the anger in his heart also dissipated.

"Does Xiaoyi know about this?"

Qi Ye raised his head angrily: "I know."

"Very good," Song Mengyuan rested his chin with one hand, "She can't escape either."

Only then did Qi Ye relax a little, at least he wasn't the only one suffering.

Only then did Song Mengyuan smile, and pushed Qi Ye's arm: "Okay, it's time for you, the chef, to come on stage, and wait for you to cook for me."

Qi Ye had no choice but to get up sullenly, went to the kitchen, picked up the rubber band that Xi Yuduo put on the sideboard in advance, tied a ponytail, put on an apron, and started to get ingredients from the refrigerator.

Song Mengyuan walked over, leaning against the bar that separated the dining room from the kitchen, watching Qi Ye prepare lunch with a smile on his face, so that he could help in time if anything happened.

Qi Ye put his phone on the bar, took out a bag of vermicelli, two boxes of ribs, a large box of beef slices, a box of shrimp, four tomatoes, a few slices of small rapeseed, a bag of vermicelli, ginger, garlic, pepper, aniseed, fragrant leaves and cinnamon Some, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and other seasonings Xi Yuduo usually put on the kitchen shelf.

Song Mengyuan was a little worried after seeing it: "You can do it all?"

Qi Ye washed his hands, cut open the vermicelli bag, took out the vermicelli and soaked it in clear water, without raising his head: "I have watched the tutorial many times, you have to trust my brain."

Song Mengyuan propped her cheeks on the bar with both hands: "I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of it."

Xi Yuduo had thawed the ribs and prawns in advance, so he could cook them directly, so Qi Ye squatted down, poured two bowls of rice into the stainless steel basin, and went to the sink to wash the rice.

She carefully pulled the rice a few times, poured out the muddy water, washed it again, put the washed rice into the pot, and took some water.

Song Mengyuan couldn't help stretching her neck to see the amount of water, and Qi Ye gave her a tangled look.Song Mengyuan subconsciously told her: "If you don't know how much water to put in, you can put your hand in, and let the water just cover the back of your hand."

Qi Ye turned his head, and sure enough, he measured the water level with his hands, went to fetch some water, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk about it."

"Then you still look at me." Song Mengyuan laughed.

Qi Ye boiled the rice, went to pick up a pot of water to blanch the ribs, and peeled off the shrimp heads and shells at the same time, leaving only the tails and the last section of the shrimp shells. When I was threading, there was a small problem-the shrimp meat was almost torn, but the shrimp thread was not picked out.

Song Mengyuan couldn't stand it anymore.

Qi Ye was so anxious that his head was sweating, he looked up and saw that the water in which the ribs were blanched was boiling, so he had to throw down the prawns, hurriedly turned off the heat, poured out the hot water and foam, rinsed the ribs, and took another pot of cold water to add Soak in spices.When she turned her head, she found that Song Mengyuan had already come over to pick the shrimp thread.

Qi Ye: "..."

Song Mengyuan handed the other shrimp to Qi Ye and asked her to follow suit: "Look, the meat on the penultimate joint is slightly broken. Don't pick too big, otherwise the shrimp line will be exposed. Gently squeeze it again." Pick up the shrimp thread. You can’t pick it with a toothpick, you can pick it like this, and then use your hands to pull it out, which will be safer.”

Qi Ye lowered his head and studied twice, and when he met, he drove Song Mengyuan back.

Song Mengyuan returned to the bar, sat down on the high chair, and watched Qi Ye take out a large bowl, put light soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, ginger, etc., and then put the processed shrimp into it to marinate.

When Qi Ye took out the ingredients, Song Mengyuan already knew what dishes she was going to cook, only the prawns were not sure whether they should be steamed directly or cooked again.Now it seems that Qi Ye has no intention of cheating at all, which makes her secretly happy.

Qi Ye took out five more raw eggs, found the egg steamer, read the instructions, and boiled the eggs.

Song Mengyuan laughed out loud: "The tutorial you read still said this?"

Qi Ye looked at her: "Did you see it?"

"Yes, you are going to make braised pork ribs. You can cook a few eggs by the way. They are delicious. If Miss Xi knows that you are learning this version, she may cook eggs for you in advance."

"It's no use."

Qi Ye turned on the range hood, picked up another frying pan, and poured oil into it. One lost control and poured too much oil, so he had to find a spoon to scoop the extra oil back.After that, she put three tablespoons of white sugar into the pot, turned the induction cooker to medium heat, and started to boil the sugar.

Suddenly there was a ringing of the doorbell, Qi Ye was startled, and turned around, whether he wanted to continue frying sugar in front of the stove, or to open the door, he was in a hurry and was quite embarrassed.

Song Mengyuan told Qi Ye to look at the pot, and got off the chair to open the door by himself.
