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

The food looks elegant, but the speed is not slow at all.

Small burgers are only two-thirds the size of regular burgers and the size of puddings.The hot chicken in the middle is melted with some shredded cheese, and the meat is soft and tender when bitten down.The combination of tomatoes and special sauce is better than restaurant salad.

Xu Can just sat down for a while, and realized that she was almost finished eating.

"Is it delicious?" He looked at her expectantly.

"Very tasty."

Xu Can bent her lips, and heard her answer a turning point, "It's just..."

"Huh? That's it?"

Tong Mingyue ate the last bite, looking at the empty plate, she felt like she had finished eating before she had even tasted a few bites.

"Why is it so small..."

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

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

"Evening?" She frowned slightly, with a look of complete ignorance of cause and effect.

"Even if you don't lose weight..." Xu Can thought of girls of all ages in her circle of friends who are all popular to weigh and count calories, and said with a smile, "Don't girls pay special attention to their diet at night?"

Tong Mingyue: "I don't care."

Xu Can asked, "What about sugar?"

Tong Mingyue: "I don't care."

Still holding the knife and fork in her hand, she gently removed the plate with a look of unwillingness to end.

Xu Can's heart was speechless because of her cute little action.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 eat dinner?"

"Ah."

Tong Mingyue picked up the knife, fork and plate, put them into the sink and said, "I'll return the plate to you after washing it 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 bandaging herself, her heart was so soft, "Wait a minute, I'll make another... Do you want to eat anything?"

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome," Tong Mingyue lowered her head and cut off the gauze, and said with a smile, "I remembered that there is still a bag of small steamed buns in the refrigerator, just steam two and eat them."

Xu Can knew that she would not intentionally starve herself, since she hadn't eaten so late, she must be busy with something and didn't have time to eat.

"You go to work." Xu Can stood up, and before she could refuse, he walked to the refrigerator and said naturally, "I'll steam it, how many can I eat?"

From the last quick-freezing drawer, I took out the unopened package of "milk-flavored steamed buns".

"..."

Tong Mingyue smiled in a daze.Tried to stand up, sat down again.

After a moment, say softly: "I'm not in a hurry for what I have to do."

She was sitting at the bar, not far away from Xu Can in the kitchen, her eyes fell on her back, "If you come to steam, I will accompany you."

The tone is soft and soft.

"..."

Xu Can was numb by her voice, and thought, I already steamed the steamed buns for you, save my life...

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

When looking for the scissors in the kitchen, he glanced over from the corner of his eye, and suddenly noticed that she seemed to be watching him silently.

As if aware of something.

Xu Can wanted to turn around to confirm, but he was afraid of blushing too obviously.Busily pretending to concentrate on unpacking the bag of "milk-flavored steamed buns", found the steaming rack of the steamer, poured water and turned on the fire...the steamed buns began to steam.

"Okay, just wait for 5 minutes..." She raised her lips, and after finishing her work, she pretended to turn around naturally.

The sights were really on.

Tong Mingyue's eyes reflected the bright lights in the living room, her eyes flickered, as if she was a little dazed.Immediately, she was unbelievably soft, bent her lips, and said in a complimenting tone: "It's really capable."

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

My heart beat faster, and I thought: why don't I confess my love tomorrow.



The next day.

Xu Can knocked on the door of her house with a bag of ingredients and said, "I'm going to make dinner, but it's too difficult to cook for one person. I just remembered that I have a neighbor who is hungry."

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

"My refrigerator is too small," Xu Can said, blinking innocently, "Yesterday I saw that your refrigerator was empty, so please lend me to store things, and I will cook for you, win-win!"

"What a win-win situation." Tong Mingyue was overjoyed, "You've lost a lot."

Xu Can said sincerely, "No."

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

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

Tong Mingyue leaned over and took a look.

"Oh, pumpkin."

Seeing that she only mentioned this in a 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 for a while, first dumped all the vegetables in the plastic bag into the sink, and asked as an example, "All the vegetables are ready and placed in front of you, and you can eat up to ten bites of each , eat a few bites of pumpkin."

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

... Isn't this picky eaters?

Xu Can suppressed a smile and asked, "Apart from pumpkins, is there anything else you don't like to eat?"

"Loofah," Tong Mingyue said solemnly, rolling up his sleeves to help her wash the vegetables.As soon as he stretched out his hand, Xu Can blocked it.

Xu Can said seriously with a straight face: "I have requisitioned the kitchen now, you have to sit outside."

Tong Mingyue: "..."

Seeing her serious look, Tong Mingyue paused for a moment. She was indeed not confident in her cooking skills, but she tried her best to assure her, "I'm just helping you, I won't make trouble."

Xu Can shook his head with a puffy face, and insisted: "Absolutely not, don't let me wash it myself, the dishes I cook have no soul. If you want to see it, just stand by and don't 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 fight for it, and Xu Can drove her to the small bar to sit and wait for food.

Xu Can didn't take the time to make elaborate dishes, the simple three dishes and one soup, the more homely the more natural, the more natural the better.It was a very common dish, and Tong Mingyue praised each dish very seriously.

Xu Can said with a smile: "If I hadn't eaten the food made by Professor Tong, I really believe it is so good."

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

Helpless smile: "It's just so good..."

Just as Xu Can was about to say something, she suddenly said, "It's not that I don't eat pumpkins." She was afraid that Tong Mingyue would eat her cooking, and she was too embarrassed to choose. "If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it. Everyone has something they don't like."

Tong Mingyue was stunned when she heard the words: "I didn't even see the pumpkin, did you mix it 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's cheeks fluttered, she lowered her eyes, picked up a piece with her chopsticks and dragged out a long string of sugar, and said very calmly, "Pumpkins don't look like this."

Xu Can took a deep breath to hold back the spreading laughter.

The long pumpkin is cut into small pieces and fried in a frying pan. Indeed, the shape changes a lot.But can normal people still not be able to tell the difference?

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

Until Tong Mingyue put down her chopsticks, she met her gaze and asked with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did you get something on your face?"

"No," Xu Can shook his head, and then said slowly, "This dish is called candied pumpkin. The pumpkin skin is still in the trash can in the kitchen. Why don't you look for it? Where did the pumpkin go?"

"..."

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

Xu Can fell down laughing, his face was buried in his arms and he couldn't straighten up laughing.



The scratch took two days to heal a thin scab.

Xu Can waited until the third day, and carefully washed the scab with hot water, but did not dry it.After half a day, the wound became inflamed and festered.The scabs are a bit hideous against the redness and inflammation.

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

Xu Can didn't dare to deliberately deepen the wound, because he was afraid that it would be too deliberate and unnatural.

Just take a few days to change the gauze.

It became logical for Xu Can to go to Tong Mingyue's house to have dinner for two.She once said by the way that all the ingredients are in her refrigerator, and she will be hungry if she doesn't go home.

Tong Mingyue smiled and gave her the spare key of her own house.

……

After getting along day and night during this period, Xu Can finally saw something else in her gentleness and stability.She will also be unexpectedly childish, deliberately snatching food from her, and picking minced meat from fried eggplant with minced meat. Except for pumpkin and loofah, she seems to hate all soft foods.

She must be a troublesome old woman when she gets old.

Every time Xu Can cooks, she always watches from the sidelines, boasting from time to time, "It's amazing", "Just look at it before doing it."...

He also took the recipe she brought and carefully opened and studied it for a long time, pointing and asking: "A little bit of sauce, how much is a little bit."

Xu Can explained: "It just means to do what you see."

"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 his love every day, and in a blink of an eye, half of the summer vacation has passed.

In the morning, when she was brushing her teeth, she said solemnly to herself in the mirror: "When I get home tonight, I will definitely confess my love. If you are still cowardly, I will shave my head tomorrow."

Before going out, I habitually go to the balcony and put the tortoise tank on the second section of the ladder frame.In this way, it is half yin and half yang, so there is no problem for the little turtle whether it wants to bask in its shell or enjoy the shade.

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

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

Xu Can didn't rush to go out, so he stood casually to see which beauty he was waiting for.That bouquet of roses was about 99 roses in three or four parts. She guessed the exact number... maybe 360 ​​or five.

I miss you every day, right?

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

The black Mercedes disappeared from Xu Can's sight.

Xu Can was in a daze for a long time, the balcony was not too far from the parking place, and she had very good eyesight... Even the back and side profile of the woman in the dress was enough for her to recognize.

It's Tong Mingyue.

Before Xu Can could react, he stood there for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, I subconsciously checked my phone, and sure enough there was a message.

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

Xu Can stared at the "I'm coming back late" on the screen, wanting to lose my head, not knowing what her outfit was like, what other possibilities she had other than dating.

She has two days of filming today.

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

Even if you can't smile, you have to smile naturally.

Xu Can apologized to everyone and tried his best to cheer up, and he didn't want to affect other people's work progress because of his own state.I managed to finish the filming on time, and it was completely dark when I got home.

Xu Can walked dejectedly, the street lamps dragged the shadow long and narrow, and his 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 yet.

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

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

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Can quietly wiped away tears.I didn't even feel when I cried.

As long as I imagined how she was smiling at another man, my heart would be torn apart.Can't breathe.
