Chapter 26: Bow your head and taste it

Xu Zhe'an's eagerness to eat reached its peak at this moment.

"You only have one idea right now, right? You want me to help you figure out how to arrange it, right?"

Seeing Xu Zhe'an getting straight to the point, Lin Songyuan applauded and said:
"You still understand me. My initial idea is..."

"I'll come up with a plan for you when I have time, but right now, she and I are hungry, so we'll talk about it next time."

Xu Zhe'an moved Lin Songyuan's head towards Jiang Yun, who was leaning against the wall waiting.

"I came to you because I hope you can ask Jiang Yun to come as well, so that we can have a complete class."

Lin Songyuan realized that he was a little anxious, so he explained.

"No problem, let's go."

Xu Zhe'an shook his head at Jiang Yun.

"Sister Yun, go home."

Jiang Yun nodded obediently, turned around and left.

Only Lin Songyuan had a lot of questions in his mind, and the word "go home" had a big impact on him.

"Has the relationship reached this point? That's amazing."

The two people walking on the way home had almost the same pace and amplitude of waving their hands, talking and laughing.

In the eyes of others, the two people in school uniforms are the embodiment of what they had dreamed of in their youth, making them envious, nostalgic, but helpless.

Xu Zhe'an gradually became distracted and helped Lin Songyuan think about the party plan, but it was nothing more than karaoke and eating the same old things. Booking a party hall would be enough to take care of everything, and it would not be a big deal.

In fact, everyone’s social circle is very fixed. Even if there are some conflicts when making friends in elementary school, we can just say sorry and share some snacks, and we can make up the next day.

But as we get older, our circle of friends keeps shrinking, so even if we gather everyone together, they tend to hang out in groups of three or four with their good friends.

When they reached the neighborhood, Jiang Yun stopped, grabbed Xu Zhe'an, and asked:
"Where are you going? To buy noodles."

"Oh, this way."

Xu Zhe'an pointed to the left.

"Hand-rolled noodles are sold next to the shop where we have breakfast."

"How about you go buy some and I'll go back and cook, okay?"

Jiang Yun really didn't want to pass by here again.

"Okay, save time."

After Xu Zhe'an took out the key and handed it to her, he walked straight towards the shop.

It’s almost dinner time, and every house is filled with the sound of spatulas and iron pots colliding, and the air is filled with the smell of life.

Xu Zhe'an came to a small noodle shop in Yuzhong District, lifted the door curtain, and the ceiling fan made a creaking sound. There was only a girl wearing sun protection clothes in the shop with her back to the door.

"Auntie Zhang, buy half a pound of Erxi."

"I'll get it installed for you right away. Sit down and cool down first."

"it is good."

Xu Zhe'an sat down at a small table near the kitchen and looked up at the old fan.

At this time, the girl sitting at another table spoke.

"Xu Zhe'an."

"?"

Xu Zhe'an heard the voice and looked towards her.

But she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, so no one could recognize her.

"Are you calling me? Do we know each other?"

"It's amazing!"

The girl took off her mask and gave Xu Zhe'an a thumbs up.

"Qin Jiayue? No, why are you here again? Are you so free?"

Xu Zhe'an asked very puzzled.

Qin Jiayue's unhappiness was written all over her face. She stood up and sat down at his table.

"I've been in the primary and junior high schools of No. 1 Middle School for nine years. Can't I even come to Aunt Zhang's place for a bowl of noodles? I'm not here to look for you. Look how anxious you are."

Forehead…

"Okay, okay, it's just a coincidence. Eat your food."

Qin Jiayue wanted to strangle him to death.

"Where's your girlfriend? Why isn't she with you today?"

"I'm going home to cook. I'm coming to buy some hand-rolled noodles." Xu Zhe'an kept looking back to see if Aunt Zhang had cooked Qin Jiayue's noodles. Only when he saw that she was scooping the noodles did he feel a little relieved.

"Wow, that's awesome! Did Aunt Zhong and Uncle Xu agree?"

"...Don't I even have this little family status?"

"cut."

Qin Jiayue disdained his words and immediately changed the subject.

"Let me ask you one more question. Where are you planning to take the exam?"

"Jiang Da."

Xu Zhe'an answered reluctantly.

"We didn't go to high school together, so why are we still competing? Haven't you found a new opponent?"

Without waiting for Qin Jiayue to answer, Aunt Zhang slowly walked out with the noodles and placed them carefully on the table, fearing that they would spill.

"Girl, try it and see if it tastes the way you said."

"Okay, thank you Aunt Zhang."

Qin Jiayue smiled sweetly and took the chopsticks.

Looking at Xu Zhe'an again, the smile disappeared.

"I definitely can't be their opponent. In our class, I'm only around tenth-place."

"So I'm easy to bully, right?"

"Not really. I don't know what your current level is. I was just asking. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Ask?

Does this need to be so tense?

"You can ask, and I've already given you the answer. Wherever Jiang Yun is, I'll be there."

After Xu Zhe'an finished speaking, he stood up and turned his back to Qin Jiayue who was eating noodles in small bites.

"Aunt Zhang, please don't fill it up too much. It will be a waste if you can't finish it."

"Xiao Xu, it's been a while since you came to eat noodles here with Auntie. I'll put more in for you. You have to control the heat well. Boil the water for five minutes, then take it out, drain the water, and cook for another two minutes."

"Okay, I'll come when I'm free, and bring one more person to try your cooking, auntie, okay?"

This sentence made Qin Jiayue behind him stunned for a moment, but only for a moment.

"No problem at all."

Aunt Zhang likes Xu Zhe'an and several of his former friends very much. When the noodle shop first opened, they came there almost every day and ate everything clean every time without wasting anything.

After taking the packaged noodles, Xu Zhe'an put down 6 taels of money and ran away, not giving Aunt Zhang the chance to only take 5 taels of money.

For some things, it is enough to receive the kindness. Taking advantage is not his style.

When I walked to Room 501, the door was ajar.

Without even bothering to change his shoes, he quickly went to the kitchen and handed the noodles to Jiang Yun.

"Is it crowded? It's taking so long to wait."

"There was one, but it had just started cooking when I got there, so I had to wait a while."

Jiang Yun didn't think much about it and said:

"Go get some air conditioning. I'm sweating all over."

"It's okay, it's the same for you, just take a shower later."

Xu Zhe'an took a step back to give her space to move.

"Go blow for a while, dinner will be served in ten minutes."

As Jiang Yun spoke, she turned around and glanced at him, just in time to notice a hint of worry between his brows.

"Is there something on your mind? If it's convenient, you can tell me. It's not good to hold it in."

"Not really, it's just a minor issue. I didn't want to go out simply because the meat sauce you made was so fragrant."

At this time, the water boiled. Jiang Yun put all the noodles into the pot, stirred them a few times and covered the pot.

Then he took out a small plate, picked up a piece of shredded pork with chopsticks, and said to Xu Zhe'an:

"Lower your head and taste it first."

Seeing that Jiang Yun offered to feed the baby, Xu Zhe'an obediently did as he was told, bending his knees and moving his head so that she could reach him.

"You must have something on your mind. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. If you always act as a collector of other people's emotions, you won't be able to bear it after a long time."

 I've been working overtime these days and haven't saved any drafts, so I'll try my best! Please support me!
