Chapter 12

After finally surviving school, Qin Chu was overjoyed. In the past two years, he had never felt such a happy thing like today.

Qin Chu packed his schoolbag, thinking about where to eat with Ren Yuan later, and what Ren Yuan would like to order.

"Going to play?" Li Nianyi was already standing in front of his seat with his schoolbag on one shoulder and a basketball in one hand.

"Don't go." Without thinking, Qin Chu zipped up his schoolbag, looked up and saw Wang Ran's blushing face, and glanced at Li Nianyi's smiling face from the corner of his eye.

"Hey, don't get in the way of my tablemate, he's going home."

Li Nianyi took a step back: "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, goodbye." Wang Ran grabbed the schoolbag, shyly moved it out of Li Nianyi's face, and quickly left the classroom.

"What are you doing in such a hurry to go home?" Li Nianyi leaned on the table, with his feet stretched out beside Qin Chu's table, as if deliberately blocking the way.

"study."

"Pfft~" Li Nian smiled, "What do you study when you go home and wander around every day in class?"

Qin Chu didn't make any excuses, stepped over Li Nianyi's legs and walked out.

There was no one else in Class [-]. Ren Yuan was in the middle, writing the test paper with his head down, and there was a packed schoolbag next to him.

"Ren Yuan, go home."

Ren Yuan looked up at Qin Chu, packed his things in his bag, and threw a notebook to Qin Chu: "This is the key notes of the whole book, read it quickly and return it to me when you have time."

"Ah, thank you." Qin Chu, who was somewhat flattered, carefully packed the notebook, and the two walked to the station together.

Perhaps in order to avoid the embarrassment in the morning, Ren Yuan got into the car.However, the bus was still bustling during peak hours, and Ren Yuan still couldn't avoid the scene of the two of them sticking together very tightly.

When they were about to get home, there were obviously fewer people in the car, so Ren Yuansan opened the distance between the two of them, and stood near the door with his hands on the ring.

Qin Chu didn't care and asked: "What do you want to eat later? If I recommend it, there is a small stir-fry that tastes good and is close to home."

Ren Yuan suddenly remembered the young couple, and replied in a daze, "Go home and eat."

"Huh?" Qin Chu didn't seem to be in the mood, "Are you doing it?"

Ren Yuan: "Okay."

Probably because he didn't expect Ren Yuan to respond so quickly, Qin Chu was stunned for a while, staring straight at Ren Yuan.

Ren Yuan glanced at the boy who suddenly became quiet, and the two eyes met. The boy smiled childishly and turned his face away.

The bus drove staggeringly, and the cool wind of early autumn swept in through the windows, dispelling the chaotic smell in the crowded compartment, and the mechanical female voice repeatedly announced the name of the station.

Ren Yuan was pulled off the bus by Qin Chu: "What are you thinking about so preoccupied? You don't even know when you get to the stop."

"I don't even know where to get off, and you didn't tell me."

Qin Chu smiled: "Just follow me, you don't need to know."

The two arrived home, changed their shoes, Ren Yuan rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, took out the ribs from the refrigerator and turned on hot water to defrost them.

Qin Chu gulped down the drink that was put on the dining table in the morning, walked around the kitchen door and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"I wrote all your wrong questions on yesterday's test paper at the back of that book, go and read it." Ren Yuan searched the refrigerator for onions, ginger and garlic again, "Is there any seasoning for the stew?"

Qin Chu was still standing at the door with a smile on his face: "Probably not."

Ren Yuan peeled the green onion and put it aside, and began to peel the garlic in his hand: "Go and buy, I want pepper, star anise, dried chili, tangerine peel, wolfberry... are you listening?"

Qin Chu: "What?"

"I'll give you 15 minutes to go downstairs to buy seasoning for the stew, as well as wax gourd or yam." Ren Yuan said with a cold face, turned on the faucet, washed the onion and garlic in a hurry, and put the water on the chopping board to cut Scallions.

"Understood, wait for me to come back right away. Call me if you need anything else, and I'll buy it together." Qin Chu said and changed his shoes.

"If you like to eat coriander, you can buy a little bit. I just saw that there is no rice. Let's buy some steamed buns."

"Okay." Qin Chu closed the door softly, and could still hear footsteps coming downstairs.

After Ren Yuan packed up the ingredients, he looked at the thawed ribs again, changed to new hot water, wiped his hands, stood in the kitchen for a while, and returned to the living room.The mobile phone on the coffee table lay quietly, Ren Yuan hesitated for a while and dialed Ren Fusheng's number.

Accompanied by the sound of flipping paper, the other side asked: "Yuaner?"

"still busy?"

"Well, it will be fine in a while, nothing special today."

"Go home after get off work and make something to eat by yourself, or I'll order takeaway and deliver it to you."

There was a conversation between the two on the receiver, and Ren Yuan could imagine that the other party was serious when talking to others with the receiver slightly covered, and he replied after a while: "Well, let me do it myself later, how about you? what's for dinner?"

"Leave me alone, hang up, goodbye."

Hanging up the phone neatly, Ren Yuan leaned on the sofa, resting his arms on his forehead, staring blankly at the ceiling, the sound of the ticking second hand of the clock lingering in his ears.

When Qin Chu came back, the pork ribs were already cooking in the pot, so he simply stood at the kitchen door and watched as Ren Yuan peeled the yam and washed it with water, then cut the yam into thin and uniform slices and put them on the plate.

Ren Yuan looked a little uncomfortable: "Hurry up and look at your wrong questions, and ask me if you don't."

Qin Chu agreed with a grin, but still wandered around at the kitchen door to see Ren Yuan busy.Ren Yuan simply closed the sliding door of the kitchen, shutting people out.After skimming the soup, I threw in the seasoning and yam, turned off the fire, and simmered with the lid half covered.

Ren Yuan rushed his hand, wiped it, and then came out.Qin Chu was sitting on the sofa, quietly flipping through the book he gave him. There was a large space at the other end of the coffee table, where there was a glass of water and a low stool.

Ren Yuan sat down on his own, pulled out his schoolbag and continued writing the unfinished paper in school.Qin Chu flipped through the notebook quietly all the time, and did not disturb his study.

It wasn't until the smell of the kitchen filled the living room that Qin Chu couldn't bear to ask, "When can I eat?"

Ren Yuan looked at the time on his phone, and then glanced at the pages of the notebook in Qin Chu's hand: "You finish reading the wrong questions before eating."

Qin Chu became quiet again, flipped through the notebook lightly and quickly, and closed the notebook solemnly after a while: "I've finished reading, if you don't believe me, I'll do all the questions after dinner, and punish me if I make mistakes, um , punish me for washing the dishes."

"It was you who washed the dishes." Ren Yuan said coolly.

"I'll beat your legs and squeeze your shoulders."

"unnecessary."

"I'll dance for you."

"I don't want to read it. Go to dinner, and make another set of papers later if you make a mistake."

"Deal. I'll serve it." Qin Chu stood up neatly, washed his hands and went to serve the rice. He placed chopsticks and water glasses, took the steamed buns, and thoughtfully opened the chair.

Ren Yuan sat down, broke off half a steamed bun, and watched Qin Chu stare at him without blinking.

"If you don't eat, then do the questions."

The other party hurriedly nodded in response: "Eat, eat, eat! I'm just so happy that you can cook. I feel that after picking up a treasure, I was pleasantly surprised to find something new."

"What?" Ren Yuan frowned in displeasure.

"True male god!" Qin Chu still grinned, lowered his head and drank a big mouthful of the soup. It was obvious that he was scalded, and he couldn't spit it out, his facial features were all wrinkled.

"Are you stupid?" Ren Yuan kicked the trash can beside him.

Qin Chu slowed down for a while, and poured half a glass of water down: "You have worked so hard, you can't waste food."

One sentence was so blocked that Ren Yuan had a feeling that what you said was so reasonable, but I was speechless. I silently complained about a fool, and ate it by myself.
