MTL - Still Explosive-~ ☆Chapter 35
Gu Yu and Xu still entered the house. Although her house was not big, it was well cleaned. At a glance, you could see the large dressing table and the floor next to it were neatly arranged storage boxes of various colors containing cosmetics. He walked in. At first glance, there was a sticker on each box, with words such as "liquid foundation" and "makeup primer" written in graceful fonts that Gu Yu had never heard of before, and he didn't understand how these things were used to make what.
He suddenly remembered that the skin care products she gave him also had this kind of label on it. He chuckled, she was really a "label maniac".
Xu still greeted him: "Just sit down, I'll get you a drink."
"thanks."
Gu Yu had never been to the girl's house before, so she was very curious and looked around. There was light blue wallpaper on the wall, succulent potted plants on the bay window beside the bed, delicate cushions scattered on the fabric sofa, and a wall. Hanging decorative paintings with distinctive styles all show the owner's good intentions.
Compared with his modern industrial style, the home with black, white and gray as the keynote does not know how much warmer it is.
Xu still came over, put the Coke in his hand on the table, and stretched out his hand to Gu Yu, "Give me the things, you can rest here for a while."
Gu Yu looked at the layout of the room and sent the ingredients in his hand to the kitchen, "I'll come."
Xu still followed, and said behind him, "Go to the sofa to rest, I'll just clean up."
"No, I'll help you." Gu Yu bent down and put things on the ground, turned around, and happened to face Xu Yilan.
The kitchen space is stretched, and the two people are very close to each other, and their shallow breathing is intertwined.
Gu Yu lowered his head and smelled the light perfume smell coming from Xu Yiren's body.
For a while, they all forgot to speak.
"It smells good." Gu Yu sniffed.
"What?" Xu still had an unnatural blush on his face.
"I mean your perfume."
"Oh," Xu still exited the kitchen as if waking up from a big dream, "The kitchen is too small, you go sit on the sofa, and I'll cook."
Gu Yu was no longer reluctant, and handed the kitchen to the chef. He picked up the coke and leaned against the kitchen door, watching Xu still working inside.
Xu is still very proficient in cooking, preparing ingredients, washing and chopping vegetables, with neat knife skills, and knocking out rhythmic syllables on the cutting board. Thin white fingers methodically do various preparations.
It turns out that these hands can not only hold makeup brushes, but also kitchen knives to cook.
What's even more amazing is that she can do both well.
Gu Yu was fascinated by it, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you very skilled in swordsmanship?"
Xu Yuanyuan poured hot oil into the pot, she turned to look at Gu Yu, showed a mischievous smile, and said, "I am not only very skilled in knives, but also very skilled in cooking."
At this time, she poured the vegetables into the hot pot, and with a "squeak" sound, white smoke rose from the top of the pot.
Xu still stir-frying a few times, the freshly washed green vegetables had water droplets, and when they touched the oil, they quickly vaporized and splashed out of the pot.
Gu Yu rushed in, without thinking, he nervously took her hand and asked, "Did it splash on your hand? Let me see, is it serious?"
Gu Yu's palm is much larger than Xu's, and it is also a slender finger. His joints are more skinny. He holds Xu's hand and puts it under the faucet. The temperature from his palm is washed away by the cold water. , Xu still let him hold it and whispered, "It's alright, I often encounter this situation when cooking."
Gu Yu turned off the faucet, put Xu Yanyan's hand in the palm of his hand, looked back and forth twice, and asked warmly, "I didn't see the blisters, does it still hurt?"
Xu still smiled and shook his head.
Gu Yu pushed her out of the kitchen, "I'll do the rest, you guide me by the side."
Xu still resisted his power, and agreed that when she cooked for him, not only did she let people bring their own ingredients, but now how could he be allowed to cook by himself.
"It's okay, I'm really fine, I'll do it."
Gu Yu pushed her out the door, turned on the gas again, and smiled at Xu Yi: "What's the next step, Chef Xu?"
Xu still had no choice but to take the title and pointed at him: "Then stir fry, and after about two minutes, you can put the mushrooms next to it..."
Under the guidance of Xu Yanyan, Gu Yu made shiitake mushroom cabbage, garlic-flavored spare ribs and crucian carp soup according to the gourd painting, and he was full of satisfaction.
The two finally took their seats, and Gu Yu watched her take a sip of fish soup with expectant eyes.
"How is it? Is the taste okay?" Gu Yu has lived for 25 years and has never been in the kitchen for so long, let alone cooking.
Xu still nodded heavily, gave him a thumbs-up, held the venue and said, "It's great!"
Hearing what she said, Gu Yu ordered some dishes, and after a taste, it turned out to be pretty good.
During the meal, Gu Yu asked Xu Yanyan: "It's rare for a girl as old as you to know how to cook, not to mention that you are so skilled, it's really rare, did you cook by yourself since you were a child?"
Xu still bowed his head: "Yes, I have been cooking by myself since I was 16 years old."
Gu Yu asked suspiciously, "Is it because your parents are too busy with work?"
Xu still stared at the milky white soup in the bowl and replied slowly: "When I was 16 years old, my parents died in a car accident, and I have lived alone since then."
Gu Yu never expected the answer to the question to be so cruel. With a shake of his hand, the spoon fell into the bowl, making a crisp sound.
He quickly picked up the spoon and wiped it with a tissue. He didn't know what to say for a while. After a while, he said in a panic, "I'm sorry, I don't know..." As someone with the same experience, he knows this kind of thing better than anyone else. It's a pain that never heals.
Gu Yu felt distressed and regretful. He looked at Xu Yiran, his chest was so sore as if it was soaked in lemonade. Except for being sorry, he couldn't find the right words to describe his mood at the moment.
Xu still put down the bowl, pursed his lips, and said, "You don't have to blame yourself, I know you didn't mean it. It's been a long time since this happened. You see, I'm doing well now."
Gu Yu still felt guilty: "I'm sorry to mention your sadness."
"Even if you don't mention it, I've never forgotten it." She stared at the brightly colored green vegetables on the dining table and said slowly, "If I'm so fragile that I'll collapse when someone mentions it, then you won't see it. I am now."
Gu Yu looked up at her, and the person opposite smiled at him, but there were only a few tears in the corners of his eyes.
For a moment, he wanted to rush over and hug her regardless, hug her thin shoulders, and hug the fragile soul beneath her strong appearance.
Now he can't, Gu Yu suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and just nodded.
The two continued to eat in silence.
After the meeting, Xu still asked him, "You said yesterday that you wanted to tell me some good news, what is it?"
By the way, I almost forgot, just to ease the atmosphere, Gu Yu's tone was very excited, "I found Xiaoen's parents."
"Really?"
"It's true." Gu Yu said sternly, "Didn't I have been looking for them before? Recently, there is finally definite news that her parents live in Ning Village, a three-hour drive from Yangcheng. Teacher Yang of the school said it's done, send Xiaoen home in two days, let their family reunite, you can go with me."
Xu still agreed, "That's great!" She was really happy for Xiao En, and being able to return to her biological parents to grow up would be of great benefit to her physical and mental health in the future.
"It's just..." She asked Gu Yu hesitantly: "Xiao En's parents chose to abandon her before, and now we send her back, will they accept it?"
Gu Yu took a sip of the soup and replied, "I also thought of what you said, so I talked to them on the phone and told them that Xiao En is now well and his condition is under good control. As long as they are willing to let Xiao En go home, I am willing to do so. Continue to support her academically and in life."
"And then? Did they agree?" Xu still asked.
"They agreed." Gu Yu said happily.
After hearing this answer, she thought for a while, and her worries increased, and said, "I don't want to spoil the fun, but what if his parents agreed to let Xiaoen go back because of the conditions you put forward? No, what if you only treat her as a tool to ask you for money?"
This…
Gu Yu scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect it." He thought for a while, and then said, "It's okay, we will focus on her parents when the time comes. If the situation you mentioned really happens, we will take Xiao En bring back."
Xu still felt relieved and agreed.
This little episode did not affect Gu Yu's good mood. "How's it going? Am I great?" he asked sullenly, like a big golden retriever shaking his head for praise.
The corners of Xu still raised her mouth high, revealing her white teeth. She nodded her head in cooperation and praised him earnestly: "It's great!"
Gu Yu stretched in satisfaction and patted his stomach, "I'm so full."
Xu still stood up to clean up the dishes, "You have a break, I'll go wash the dishes."
This retrospective Yu did not rob, because he once helped Aunt Zhang wash the dishes, and as a result broke several dishes.
Gu Yu is not good at this housework. He leaned against the kitchen door and saw that Xu was still busy inside. Hearing the sound of running water, his sense of satisfaction gradually expanded. He thought, maybe he could improve his cooking skills in the future. She makes more delicious food.
Xu still didn't know his all kinds of thoughts, and only focused on cleaning up the dishes.
Her long hair was **** casually, revealing a large section of her fair neck. Gu Yu looked at it, swallowed, and put his hands in the pockets of his trousers, pinching the seam of his trousers tightly.
He was a little nervous, and after a long while he spoke slowly: "Still, I like..."
At this moment, the phone in Gu Yu's pants pocket rang, and the vibrating sound startled him and interrupted his unspoken words. He frowned in dissatisfaction, took out his phone, looked at the name on the screen, and hung up.
Xu still looked at him: "What did you just say?"
Just as Gu Yu was about to open his mouth, the phone rang again, and Xu still said, "You better answer the phone first."
He had to walk to the door of the room, answer the phone, and his voice was cold: "What's the matter?"
Gu Lang: "My subordinate sent two boxes of hairy crabs here. Grandpa wants you to come back for dinner." He asked knowingly, "Where are you now?"
Gu Yu frowned and said, "You guys can eat, I have something to do now, so I won't be going back tonight."
Gu Lang: "Don't you have time to eat with grandpa? Or are you with someone else?"
Gu Yu said, "My grandfather is in charge of the Gu family. Do I need to report to you who I am with? You don't need to tell him. I will call and tell him personally."
He hung up the phone and called Gu Qingan. When Gu Qingan heard it, he snorted: "It was their mother and son who suggested that you come back. If you are busy, you don't have to come back. Hairy crabs are not something unusual, so you can't eat them when."
Gu Yu agreed, and after thinking about it, he told Gu Qingan the truth: "Grandpa, I have good news for you, I am pursuing a girl, and I am at her house now."
Gu Qing'an was very happy when he heard it, "You can do it, boy, don't bother you, take it home and let me take a look after it is successful. There has been no happy event in our family for a long time. Your marriage must be a grand affair, and it can be done in your family's manor. …”
Gu Yu hurriedly stopped his thinking: "Grandpa, I haven't succeeded yet, and you have thought too far."
The grandfather and grandson chatted a few more words, Gu Yu ended the call, and when he entered the room, he saw that Xu was still on the phone, talking about "materials" or something. When she hung up the phone, she said to him embarrassedly, "I need to send the materials to the company, why don't you sit down first?"
Seeing that she was busy with work, Gu Yu left, and the two made an appointment to take Xiao En home next week.
He walked out of Xu Yiren's house, feeling a little annoyed.
Today's goal is not achieved, and I have to wait for the next time.
The author has something to say: Gu Yu: Be sure to turn off your phone before your next confession! No one wants to interrupt my love conversation with my girlfriend! Yes, you read that right, in my heart she is already my girlfriend, didn't you see that grandpa has chosen the wedding venue? Our family is very anxious!
Xu still: Did he just say I wash? Does he want to wash the dishes? But I was about to finish it!
