Tong Mingyue is the kind of person who washes his hands before eating hamburgers, and then eats them with a knife and fork.

Eating elegantly, but not slow at all.

The small burger is only two-thirds the size of a regular burger and the size of a pudding. The hot chicken in the middle is melted with some shredded cheese, bite down, and the meat is soft and tender. Tomatoes alone and a special dressing are better than restaurant salads.

Xu Can just sat for a while when she realized that she was almost finished eating.

"Is it delicious?" Looking at her expectantly.

"Very tasty."

Xu Can bent his lips, and heard her take a turning point, "That's it..."

"Huh? That's it?"

Tong Mingyue took the last bite, looked at the empty plate, and felt that he had finished eating before a few bites.

"Why is it so small..."

Tong Mingyue raised her eyes and said faintly, "I'm not even full."

Xu Can laughed unexpectedly, "Because it's night now."

"Night?" She frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand the cause and effect relationship at all.

"Even if you don't lose weight..." Xu Can thought of the fact that girls of all ages in his circle of friends are popular for weighing and counting calories. He laughed and said, "Don't girls pay special attention to their diet at night?"

Tong Mingyue: "I don't care."

Xu Can asked, "What about sugar or something?"

Tong Mingyue: "I don't care."

She still held a knife and fork in her hand, and with a look of reluctance to end, she gently moved the plate down.

Xu Can was so cute with her little action that she felt a tsunami of speechlessness. After suffocating for a moment, I heard the slight sound of the knife and fork being placed on the plate, and suddenly came back to my senses: "Did you not have dinner?"

"Um."

Tong Mingyue picked up the knife, fork and plate, put it into the sink and said, "The plate will be washed and returned to you tomorrow."

She went to the living room and took out the gauze and iodophor.

"Why don't you have dinner?" Xu Can lowered his eyes, seeing how patiently she was dressing herself, her heart softened, "Wait a minute, I'll make another... Do you really want to eat?"

"Don't be so troublesome," Tong Mingyue lowered her head and cut off the gauze, and said with a smile, "I remembered that there are still bags of small steamed buns in the refrigerator. Just wait and steam two and eat them."

Xu Can knew that she didn't deliberately starve herself, so she hadn't eaten yet, so she must be busy with something to eat.

"Go to work," Xu Can stood up, and without waiting for her to refuse, he naturally walked to the refrigerator and said, "I'll steam, how many can I eat?"

From the last freezer drawer, take out the unopened package of "Milk Fragrant Steamed Bun".

"…"

Tong Mingyue smiled a little stunned. Wanting to stand up, sit back again.

For a moment, say softly, "I'm not in a hurry with what I have to do."

She was sitting at the bar, not far from Xu Can in the kitchen, her eyes fell on her back, "If you come to steam, I'll stay by your side."

The tone was soft and soft.

"…"

Xu Can was so numb with her voice that she thought, let me steam your buns and save my life...

Lifting the corner of his lips, he opened the bag several times without opening it.

When his eyes were looking for scissors in the kitchen, he glanced around and suddenly realized that she seemed to be looking at him silently.

As if realizing something.

Xu Can wanted to turn around and confirm, but he was afraid that the blushing would be too obvious. Busy pretended to concentrate on opening the bag of "Milk Fragrant Steamed Bun", found the steamer and steaming rack, poured water and started the fire... The steamed buns began to steam.

"Okay, just wait five minutes..." She raised her lips, and when she was done, she pretended to turn around naturally.

The sight is really right.

Tong Mingyue's eyes reflected the bright lights in the living room, and her eyes flickered, as if she was a little stunned. Immediately, she was incredibly soft, she curved her lips, and said in a praiseful tone, "It's really capable."

Xu Can said, "It's just steamed buns..."

My heart beat faster, and an idea came to my mind: I might as well confess it tomorrow.

the next day.

With a bag of ingredients, Xu Can knocked on her door and said, "I'm going to make dinner, but it's too difficult to cook for one person. I just remember having a hungry neighbor."

Tong Mingyue smiled dumbly, and her eyes fell on the bag of ingredients: "Bring so many things?"

"My refrigerator is too small," Xu Can blinked innocently and said, "Yesterday I saw that your refrigerator was empty, just lend me your stuff, I'll cook for you, win-win!"

"What a win-win situation," Tong Mingyue couldn't be more happy, "you've lost a mess."

Xu Can said sincerely: "No."

In Tong Mingyue's refrigerator, in addition to the package of quick-frozen steamed buns that were opened yesterday, there were only two bags of tea leaves, coffee powder, and a bag of yogurt that was about to expire. Empty as if I just bought it home.

Xu Can put in the things that he didn't do today in an orderly manner, and put the rest by the pool, and thawed the ones that should be thawed.

Tong Mingyue leaned over to take a look.

"Oh, pumpkin."

Seeing that she only said this in the pile of dishes, Xu Can asked, "Do you like pumpkin or not?"

Tong Mingyue said, "It's okay."

"How good is it?" Xu Can thought about it, first poured all the vegetables in the plastic bag into the sink, and asked, for example, "All the vegetables are ready and placed in front of you, and you can eat up to ten bites of each. , a few bites of pumpkin."

Tong Mingyue said, "I don't eat a single bite."

…Isn’t that just picky eaters?

Xu Can held back a smile and asked, "Besides pumpkin, is there anything else you don't like to eat?"

"Luffa," Tong Mingyue was serious, rolling up her sleeves and preparing to help her wash the vegetables. Just as he reached out, he was blocked by Xu Can.

Xu Can said solemnly: "The kitchen is now requisitioned by me, you have to sit outside."

Tong Mingyue: "…"

Seeing her very serious look, Tong Mingyue paused for a while. It was true that she was not confident in her cooking skills, but she insisted, "I'll just help you out, and I won't cause trouble."

Xu Can shook his head with a puffed face and insisted: "Absolutely not. Don't let me wash it by myself. The dishes I make have no soul. You can just stand by if you want to see it, and never interfere."

Tong Mingyue: "I'll help you..."

Xu Can interrupted: "No."

Tong Mingyue: "Just..."

Xu Can: "No."

Tong Mingyue: "…"

In the end, she still didn't win, and was rushed by Xu Can to the small bar to sit and wait to eat.

Xu Can didn't spend time doing the laborious dishes, the simple three dishes and one soup, the more homely, the more natural, the more natural the better. It is a very ordinary dish, and Tong Mingyue praised several times very seriously for each dish.

Xu Can said with a smile: "If I hadn't eaten the food made by Professor Tong, I would have believed it would be so good."

Tong Mingyue reacted for a few seconds. Professor Tong was not talking about her but her father.

Helplessly smiled: "It's just that good..."

Just as Xu Can was about to say something, he suddenly said, "It's not that you don't eat pumpkin." She was afraid that Tong Mingyue would be embarrassed to choose because she was cooking. "Don't eat it if you don't want to. Everyone has something they don't like."

Tong Mingyue was stunned when she heard the words: "I didn't see the pumpkin, were you in the soup?"

Xu Can: "...??"

Xu Can hesitated for a few seconds and said, "What do you think you are eating now?"

"It's not a pumpkin anyway," Tong Mingyue said calmly, "pumpkins don't grow like this," Tong Mingyue said calmly.

Xu Can took a deep breath to hold back the laughter that spread out.

The long squash was cut into small pieces, and it was fried in a frying pan. It really changed a lot in shape. But can normal people still be indistinguishable?

Xu Can held her cheeks and raised her lips. Seeing that she was eating happily, she waited.

Until Tong Mingyue put down her chopsticks, she caught sight of her and asked with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like this, is there anything on your face?"

"No," Xu Can shook his head and said slowly, "This dish is called shredded pumpkin. The pumpkin skin is still in the trash can in the kitchen. If you want to look for it, where is the pumpkin?"

"…"

Tong Mingyue was silent for a few seconds, the corners of her lips curved, she raised her hand and rubbed her temple helplessly and said, "I'll just say, why does it really smell like pumpkin. I thought it was special sugar."

Xu Can laughed, his face buried in his arms, so he couldn't straighten his back.

It took two days for the scratch to form a thin scab.

Xu Can waited until the third day, carefully rinsed the scab with hot water, and did not dry it. After a long time, the wound became inflamed and festered. The scab was lined with redness and inflammation.

The time to go to Tong Mingyue's place to change the dressing was extended by another two days.

Xu Can did not dare to deepen the wound on purpose, for fear that it would be too deliberately unnatural.

Just take a few days to change the gauze.

It has become a matter of course for Xu Can to go to Tong Mingyue's house and cook dinner for two. She once said casually that all the ingredients were in her refrigerator, and she would be hungry if she didn't go home.

Tong Mingyue smiled and took the spare key to her own home.

During this time of getting along day and night, Xu Can finally saw something else in her gentleness and stability. She is also unexpectedly childish, deliberately grabbing food from her, and picking minced meat from fried eggplant with minced meat. She seems to hate all soft food except pumpkin and loofah.

It must be a troublesome old woman when she grows old.

Every time Xu Can cooks, she looks at it with starry eyes, and from time to time she will say "it's amazing", "how to do it, just look at it before you do it."…

He also carefully studied the recipe she brought for a long time, and pointedly asked: "A little sauce, how much is a little."

Xu Can explained: "It just means looking at it."

"That's not rigorous." She frowned solemnly and said, "People who write books can't be like this."

Xu Can: "Pfft..."

Tong Mingyue: "?"

Xu Can thinks about how to confess every day. In a blink of an eye, half of the summer vacation has passed.

In the morning, when she was brushing her teeth, she solemnly said to herself in the mirror, "When I get home tonight, I'll definitely go and confess. If I'm still cowardly, I'll shave my head tomorrow."

Before going out, habitually go to the balcony and end the turtle tank to the second section of the ladder frame. In this way, it is half yin and half yang, and the little turtle has no problem whether it wants to bask in the shell or enjoy the shade.

She looked down and suddenly found a black Mercedes-Benz parked downstairs.

A man in a formal suit came down, went to open the co-pilot first, and brought out a large bouquet of flowers. There are a lot of red roses, but Xu Can has only seen so many fake flower props in the studio.

Xu Can didn't go out in time, and stood casually to see which beauty he was waiting for. The bouquet of roses was about ninety-nine in three or four portions. The exact number, she casually guessed...it might be three hundred and sixty-five.

Do you mean to think of you every day?

After a few seconds, the woman in the dress came out. The man handed her the flower, and gently pulled the co-pilot away, and the two quickly got into the car.

The black Mercedes-Benz disappeared from Xu Can's sight.

Xu Can was stunned for a long time, the balcony was not very far from the parking place, and her eyesight was very good... The woman in the skirt, even if it was just the back and the side, was enough for her to recognize.

It's Tong Mingyue.

Xu Can didn't react yet and stood for a long time.

After I don't know how long, I checked my phone subconsciously, and sure enough there was a message.

Tong Mingyue: [I have something to do today, so I will be back late. Don't wait for me. ]

Xu Can stared at the "come back late" on the screen and wanted to break her head. She didn't know her outfit or scene, what other possibilities were there other than dating.

She has two days of filming today.

The workload is heavy and the time is rushing, but during the filming, I often lose my mind uncontrollably. Sister Liu scolded a few words.

If you can't smile, you have to smile naturally.

Xu Can apologized to everyone, worked hard to cheer up, and did not want to affect the progress of others because of his state. After barely finishing the filming on time, it was completely dark when I got home.

Xu Can walked dejectedly, the street lamp dragged the shadow long and narrow, and the back was pitifully thin.

It was dark and silent next door. You don't need to knock on the door to know that Tong Mingyue hasn't come back.

Xu Can sat in the living room, without turning on the light, hiding in the darkness of nothingness wantonly in a daze. The lights in the building are voice-activated, and will turn on as long as there is a slight movement.

She was waiting, how late Tong Mingyue would be when she came back very late.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Can quietly wiped his tears. I don't even feel when I cry.

Just imagining the way she was smiling at another man made her heart tear. Can't breathe.
