across winter

When he came out, Xu Sihang also came out of the kitchen, "Have a cup of tea before leaving." Xu Sihang handed the glass to Zhou Zhining.The custom-made glass, with his own name and logo under the glass, has only been split into two copies, one for himself and one for Zhou Zhining.

Zhou Zhining took the cup and seemed to have seen the logo, took a sip of tea, and smiled softly, "Why are you in such a hurry to drive people away, huh?"

Xu Sihang cursed silently in his heart, washed his hands and face, and drank his tea, what else do you want to do if you don't leave?Get him drunk like last time and have another shot?As soon as Xu Sihang thought of this, he felt shuddering, and his eyes were a little more defensive when he looked at the difficult one.

Seeing his expression and movements, Zhou Zhining lowered his head in a rare aggrieved way, "Sihang, I was indeed impulsive last time, can we stop being so tense? I didn't expect you to be on the opposite side today, I just wanted to Just make a meal." As he spoke, his head drooped lower and lower, and the sound became more and more uncomfortable.

Especially Xu Sihang, who couldn't stand Zhou Zhining bowing his head and admitting his mistake in such a soft voice, Sihang had no choice but to sigh silently, "Coincidentally, I am preparing to make lunch, if you want, you can wait and eat with me."

"Yes, yes, why don't you want to." Zhou Zhining seemed to come back to life when he heard Xu Sihang's words. He was no longer the dejected Zhi Ning just now, and he immediately came alive again, "It's not that I can't cook, I Know how to choose dishes." The implication is that he can help, and he is not useless.

Si Hang was silent for a moment, went to the kitchen counter to put the vegetables in a basket, carried them to the living room, and put them on the coffee table in a daze, Zhou Zhining didn't speak, looked at the vegetables and then at Xu Sihang.

Si Hang nodded to him, "Choose the vegetables, hurry up, I'll make them later." After speaking, he picked up the remote control on the sofa and turned on the TV.With the male voice of the animal world as the background, Zhou Zhining smiled softly, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the sofa, then weighed the vegetable basket, "Okay."

Xu Sihang didn't tell him anything else, and went straight into the kitchen, he was really hungry now, if it wasn't for the oolong incident at Zhou Zhining's family, he would have eaten hot dishes long ago.Xu Sihang sighed silently, and turned on the range hood first.

"呵——噗——" The sound of stir-frying from the kitchen and the scent wafting out of the kitchen could not be blocked even through a glass window.The dishes in Zhou Zhining's hands were almost ready, and Xu Sihang had already come out once or twice, and put two dishes on the table. The sound of the porcelain plate hitting the marble table was loud, and someone Zhou secretly took advantage of the time when he came out. I took a few glances.

Wearing a pink apron, Zhou Zhining covered the smile on the corner of his mouth lightly with his hand, and quickly turned his head to cover the smile on the corner of his mouth with his hand when he turned around after placing the plate.

Not long after, Xu Sihang came out again, brought a plate of dishes to the table, and came towards him. Just as he finished choosing the dishes in his hand, Xu Sihang glanced at the trash can next to him, and then at the basket in his hand, as if Compared with this job, he sat in place.

Then Zhou Zhining saw Xu Sihang nodded slightly relieved, "Thank you."

This time the cooking was obviously faster than before, but after a while, Si Hang came out with soup, but the bowl was not too big, Zhou Zhining wondered if he had chosen that big basket of vegetables for nothing.

"Let's eat." Xu Sihang arranged the three dishes and one soup neatly. There are only two chairs in the square table, and it happens that there are only two people. Do you think this is just a coincidence?Zhou Zhining listened and walked over obediently without saying a word.

He looked around for a long time, but he couldn't find any food. As a food scooper, he very consciously wanted to take on the responsibility of scooping up the food, but now he really couldn't find it.Zhou Zhining touched his nose and called "Sihang."

"Huh?" Xu Sihang was sitting at the dining table, spooning soup into his own bowl, when Zhou Zhining called him, he rolled his eyelids and looked at him.

Zhou Zhining first glanced into the kitchen, then looked at him hesitantly, "Do you have food?"

Xu Sihang subconsciously wanted to say, in the kitchen, but when the words came to his lips, he frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at Zhou Zhining calmly, and shook his head slowly, "I seem to have forgotten."

Zhou Zhining choked, the air on the dining table froze in an instant, and after a long silence, Si Hang smiled uncomfortably, stood up with his hands on the table, "I'm going to cook now."

"Hey, don't—" Zhou Zhining waved his hands and stopped him.He pointed to his own house across the door, "I cooked the rice and kept it warm." Maybe the "fire" just now left a deep impression on people, so he coughed twice, "I know how to cook."

Only then did Xu Sihang nod and gave up the idea of ​​cooking again, and Zhou Zhining also moved to his home to get the rice cooker. Although the appearance of him holding the rice cooker was a bit funny, at least the two of them saved their lunch.

Speaking of which, this was the first time for Zhou Zhining to eat Xu Sihang's cooking. When they lived together, they always ordered takeaway. The two of them competed with each other for their coquettishness. Both of them were masters who didn't touch their fingers. As for Sihang's misfortune, Zhining knew , so I won't ask, it was also Zhou Zhining who provoked me.

I don't know how much Si Hang suffered outside, Zhou Zhining couldn't even eat when he thought about it.

Xu Sihang saw that his movements were stagnant, and instinctively frowned and asked him, "What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?" The dishes are all fresh, and the three stir-fried dishes were all learned from the master chef in Meng Xiao's inn. , is more than enough for home cooking.

Zhou Zhining shook his head, "No." Then he lowered his head and took a sip of the soup, and continued, "I remember you didn't know how to cook before." His voice was very soft, but every word hit their hearts.

Xu Sihang was silent in response, then tapped the edge of the plate lightly with his chopsticks, and said, "I haven't gone abroad."

Shi Potian's shocking words made Zhou Zhining raise his eyes suddenly, and stared blankly at Si Hang on the opposite side. Si Hang nodded calmly, "I've been in Changbai, Changbai Mountain, Changbai in China." There is no need for Zhou Zhining to confirm repeatedly, Xu Sihang has confirmed it for him over and over again.

For five full years, 1826 days, and only 1215 kilometers apart, two people were bound by a lie.People who thought they could only meet across oceans and seas turned out to have been living on the same territory as themselves.

Zhou Zhining looked at Xu Sihang, the hand holding the bowl trembled slightly from shock, "Then?—"
