Chapter 22

It took Zuo Rong a full hour to come back, with big bags and small bags as if he had just finished shopping for new year's goods.

Kong Feicheng wondered, does it take such a big show to cook lunch?Did this kid move back half of the supermarket?

Zuo Rong was very organized. He first took the fresh food to the kitchen and put it in the refrigerator, then went back to the living room, took out a kettle from another bag, cleaned it, and boiled a pot of water first. disinfect.

Then, like a magic trick, he took out a baby warmer, antipyretic stickers, a thermometer, biscuits, candy, chocolate, oatmeal, and even a quick-drying towel and a warm water bottle from the bag.

These snacks alone filled the coffee table drawer to the brim, Kong Feicheng just stood aside and stared blankly, completely unable to get his hands in.

"Go and rest, I'll be fine." Zuo Rong said to him.

He was as comfortable as he was at his own home, everything was arranged properly, and it was no accident that he saw stomach medicine on the bedside table.

Kong Feicheng was suddenly speechless, and the psychological construction he had done so hard just now was useless in an instant.

The water boiled, Zuo Rong took the kettle to the bathroom and soaked the newly bought towels.He felt that these things had to be washed in boiling water and exposed to the sun again before they could be used with peace of mind.

Then boil another pot of drinking water, this time you can drink it.

After finishing these things, he went to the kitchen and brought out a grapefruit.Pick up a fruit knife and draw a circle on the skin, slowly peeling off the flesh.The yellow outer skin turned into two parts, the upper and lower parts, like two little yellow hats, which were completely peeled off by him.

Kong Feicheng thought it was amazing, it happened to be the season to eat pomelo, but he seldom ate it.Because I was not very good at peeling since I was a child, and no one helped me, I simply stopped eating.

After peeling off the outer skin, Zuo Rong went to wash his hands, brought a small salad bowl, and began to carefully peel off the film inside petal by petal.

He is very proficient in this kind of thing, because Zuo Le likes to eat citrus fruits very much, but he is too lazy to peel them, so he consciously takes on this responsibility, and practiced to perfection.

In fact, he also bought other fruits, oranges, kiwis, cherries, good and expensive ones, all in the refrigerator.But he chose grapefruit, which is a small selfishness.On the one hand, it can be peeled for Kong Feicheng to eat with his own hands.On the other hand, if he can't finish a grapefruit by himself, he will definitely share it with two people.

Sharing is a wonderful thing. If you share fruit at home, it will be more intimate, like a family relationship.

This grapefruit looks full of water, and he spent a lot of effort in picking it.From the outside, it can be felt that the flesh-shaped skin is thin, and the water is heavy when weighed. These are all his experiences.

Peel off that layer of film, and then carefully remove the fascia, peel off every piece of flesh, then break it into a good size and put it in a bowl, and pass the fork to the hands of people who have been stunned.

Kong Fei was still in a daze when he took over the fork. He kept thinking that Zuo Rong's hands are so beautiful, and even the movement of peeling a grapefruit looks like an ancient Greek sculpture.

Fork a piece into the mouth, the citrus aroma will immediately come up, the teeth will bite down, and the juice will overflow.

The pomelo was indeed selected successfully, sweet and sour, with plenty of water, and the aroma was particularly fresh in the overheated heating.

Zuo Rong suddenly thought of a method. He took a mug, put two pieces of grapefruit in it, pressed it a few times with a juice stick, and scooped out the pomace, leaving only the juice.Then pour some cooled water, add a spoonful of honey, mix thoroughly and hand it to Kong Feicheng.

The water temperature is just warm and not too hot. The aroma of honey and grapefruit evaporates with the water vapor, stimulating the sense of smell and moistening the eyebrows and eyes.

Kong Feicheng took a sip from the cup, and it was as sweet and warm as expected.

"Is it delicious?" Zuo Rong was like a chef waiting for feedback from diners.

"Well, it's very delicious." Kong Feicheng smiled unconsciously and rolled his eyes.

Zuo Rong seemed to be encouraged, and made some more and put them in a thermos.

"I didn't expect you to be good at taking care of people." After watching for so long, this is Kong Feicheng's biggest impression.No matter what he did, he didn't look like an 18-year-old kid.

"I don't know how to take care of people, I like you." Zuo Rong had no expression on his face, as if it was a matter of course.

Hearing him say this for the second time, Kong Feicheng was still unpromisingly nervous, and almost spilled the water with the hand holding the cup.It's only been a week, and he's already perfected, but I'm still so startled, it's really shameful.

In fact, Zuo Rong is not as calm as he looks, his hand to peel the grapefruit is trembling, and a piece of fascia has not been torn off after picking for a long time.

But he just wanted to say that, he just liked Kong Feicheng, there was no need to deny it, and there was no way to escape it.

The two kept silent tacitly. After Zuo Rong peeled the grapefruit, he went to the kitchen to process the ingredients and started preparing for lunch.Kong Feicheng sat on the sofa and ate the grapefruit nonchalantly, staring at his back in a daze.

The aroma of rice wafted out first.In fact, the family didn't even have rice, and Zuo Rong had just bought these.

Kong Feicheng basically ate out for so many years. When she was a child, the nanny was not good at cooking, and when she was cooking, she was doing daily tasks upstairs, so she couldn't experience it personally.

Later, when he was studying in the United States, he didn't cook, and he always ate in the cafeteria to save time.Occasionally go to Zuo Yi's for a meal, the quality of the other party's cooking depends entirely on which takeaway they order that day.

The experience of smelling aroma during cooking like this is really rare.For the first time, he felt that the rice was so fragrant that his stomach began to move around.

Next, there was the sound of cooking in the kitchen, and more intense and diverse aromas appeared, and Kong Feicheng felt that he was really hungry.

Zuo Rong moved very quickly, and quickly prepared three dishes and one soup.When his mother was in the hospital, no one took care of him, so he practiced his cooking skills, and even a picky person like Zuo Le was full of praise.

Fried Shrimp with Asparagus and Egg, Longli Fish in Tomato Sauce, Lemon Wing, and Chinese Yam and Corn Pork Rib Soup.Kong Feicheng helped to serve the rice and brought the dishes to the table together.

The two sat down facing each other, and the aroma of the food immediately filled their nostrils.Kong Feicheng looked at the opposite person through the heat, and instantly found the long-awaited home.

Zuo Rong's craftsmanship is indeed very good, the asparagus is crisp, the shrimp is fresh and sweet, the fish fillet is smooth and tender, and the chicken wings are crispy and tender.

Kong Feicheng's chopsticks didn't stop, and he couldn't help but say after a few mouthfuls: "This shrimp is so fresh, it's different from what I usually eat."

"The ones used in restaurants are all frozen and not fresh. I bought live shrimp and peeled them now. I put the rest in the refrigerator. I can put some in when I cook noodles. Although it is not as good as it is now Eat it, but it’s better than the ones outside.” Zuo Rong explained, and at the same time picked up a few shrimps for him, and handed him a bowl of soup by the way.

Kong Feicheng lowered his head and sipped the soup in silence. Being taken care of by an 18-year-old child like this, he felt an indescribable feeling.For a moment it was difficult to tell whether this was a gift of tolerance from fate, or a trap, allowing oneself to indulge in it, and then throw it into an even crueler abyss.

But right now, the Chinese yam stew is soft and melts in the mouth, the fruit corn is sweet and juicy, and the ribs are not greasy.This soup is delicious, warm and smoked his eyes, almost made him shed tears.

Obviously it was rare to be loved, but Kong Feicheng felt that he had never been so wronged.

Such a good Zuo Rong, such a good everything, is clearly in front of his eyes, but he dare not touch it, dare not think about it.

Although this is no different from his ideal family, but the barriers in his heart lie there, preventing him from crossing the line.

Moreover, such a good Zuo Rong, I am not worthy of it.

It's really disgusting, this little bastard cooks delicious food, I don't know who will have such a good fortune, and I can eat it every day in the future.

He ate as much as he could, and stuffed it in when he was full.He wanted to remember this taste, otherwise he would never be able to eat it again and would miss it.

Fortunately, the portions of each dish were not too large, and there was only a little soup base left after the two of them ate.

Kong Feicheng was so full that he stood up and went for a walk, while Zuo Rong quickly washed the dishes without giving him a chance to help.

Such a life, even if there is only one day in this life, is enough.

The heart-beating person is by his side, telling himself his love.Like the sun, he let himself steal this day from his dark and chaotic life.

But after today, the universe will still operate normally, and he should return the sun back to continue living in his own cold galaxy.

After Zuo Rong washed the dishes, he stared at Kong Feicheng and took the medicine, took his body temperature again, and made sure it was 36.5 degrees, and finally left.

He couldn't stay any longer, he fought hard with self-denial and instinct, barely held the last position.Several times he wanted to hold down Kong Feicheng and kiss him, but he forcibly suppressed the urge.

When he left that room, he was almost on the run.

Looking at the house that became empty again, Kong Feicheng's heart felt empty.Dreams always have to be woken up, and no one can live a lifetime relying on unrealistic fantasies.

He walked around the house, looking at the things left by Zuo Rong, feeling warm and lost.It was really difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, and he suddenly felt that it was not easy for him to live alone.

Walking into the kitchen, he saw several rows of sticky notes pasted on the refrigerator, recording the ingredients stored in it by category.One piece of vegetables, one piece of fruit, one piece of custard, one piece of meat, and one piece of fish and shrimp.The date of purchase and preservation time are clearly written on it, and a few simple recipes are attached, which match the ingredients very reasonably.

He opened the refrigerator door and saw that the fruits and vegetables were neatly arranged, and the eggs stood one by one in the grid.I bought only five boxes of milk with a shelf life of seven days, exactly one box a day, enough for this week.

It's really not a person's appearance, do the little girls in the school know that their male god is so gentle and considerate?

Thinking of this, Kong Feicheng smiled, and suddenly felt a little proud, that indifferent flower of the high mountain, she washed her hands and made soup for herself to fall on the ground.

He felt that relying on this day, he could survive many boring years in the future.

When Zuo Rong returned to the dormitory, there was no one there. In fact, he had classes all morning, but he just skipped it.The first class in the afternoon is about to end now, and there will be no classes after that.

In less than half an hour, Zhu Qingyan and Zhao Yangyang came back from get out of class. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Zuo Rong, who hadn't come home all night, came back.

"Go to Sister Lele? What's the matter?" Zhu Qingyan's first reaction was still worried that Zuo Le was in trouble.

"No, she's fine." Zuo Rong replied absently.

Zhao Yangyang took out his call records and showed him, "Boss, we are used to you not coming home at night, but can you tell us next time, I am so worried."

"Sorry, I will definitely pay attention next time." Zuo Rong actually saw the messages and missed calls a long time ago, but he just didn't feel like replying.

Such things that violated his principle of doing things did happen, even if he was reluctant, he couldn't change it.There is just one person who affects his thinking and actions.

Zuo Le sent a message and asked how it was.

He went back: "The fever has subsided, don't worry."

The other side came back quickly, "I'm not worried about him, I'm just asking how you two are doing, have you taken it?"

Zuo Rong didn't expect her to have such a brain circuit, so he said: "It's still the same, I just went to take care of him, nothing else."

"What? Zong Nanlu almost gave me his body, so you went to take care of him? Isn't it the easiest to take advantage of the situation when you are sick? What do you eat? The novels I usually share with you must be good. It’s beautiful, and you can learn knowledge in it!”

Zuo Rong could imagine her hateful tone.

It is not the act of a gentleman to take advantage of the situation. He thinks he is not that noble, but he will never act lowly.And he didn't want to be in a hurry, people like Kong Feicheng deserved to be taken seriously, even if it took another three to five years, he didn't think it would be a problem.

"Sister, I want to chase him well, not pick him up, can you take it easy?"

"Come on, you are in Haidian, the soft policy is useless. Listen to me, hug your waist, kiss your mouth, and get on the bed, everything will be fine."

Zuo Rong felt that Zuo Le should be a hooligan.

"Sister, that's called □□. Think about it, would you be happy if someone chased you like that?"

Zuo Le didn't reply for a long time, she suddenly thought that she and Zhu Qingyan seemed to have developed to this point.As a result, not only did it fail, but it became even more important.

"I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously. You just have to have an idea, I won't mess with it, let me know if there is any progress, I love you."

Zuo Rong didn't take it seriously at first, Zuo Le who is not kidding is incomplete Zuo Le.

It's true that chasing Kong Feicheng is not in a hurry. If he doesn't untie his knots, he will never be able to face his heart honestly.

But now at least he can be sure that Kong Feicheng doesn't hate him. His previous resistance was not targeted, but he rejected and feared homosexuality from the bottom of his heart.

The road is long and long, and it is easy to work when you are full.

The roommate was worried for another day, Zuo Rong decided to invite the three of them out for dinner at night, and Zhao Yangyang immediately forgave him.

Lu Renjie, who is still training, was also very happy to receive the news, saying that they just choose a place, and they can eat whatever they want.

They usually eat around the school, but this time they want to change their taste and go to the nearby shopping mall.And after eating, you can go shopping, buy some winter clothes, or eat dessert like a girl.

The three of them looked at the review software for a long time, and finally Zhu Qingyan said, "Why don't you go to Nanjing's big-name stalls. Although it's a chain store and it's not so authentic, I still think about it after not eating for a long time."

Zhao Yangyang, who had a difficult choice, immediately agreed with both hands, this kind of non-spicy Nanjing cuisine is quite suitable for him.

Zuo Rong also agreed. He knew that Zhu Qingyan's little thoughts were mostly for Zuo Le's two years of living in Nanjing.

After Lu Renjie's training, Zuo Rong drove everyone to a shopping mall not far from the school.

Zhao Yangyang didn't have this restaurant in his hometown, so he didn't know what dishes were delicious, so he asked them to order.

In fact, Zuo Rong has never eaten at this restaurant, because he always feels that the chain store has lost its original taste.When he went to Nanjing to find Zuo Le, he always ate the time-honored brands in the alleys, and everything was very authentic.

Zhu Qingyan and Lu Renjie seem to be regular customers. They ordered salted duck, Tianwang roast duck bun, shrimp yellow tofu, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, glutinous rice braised pork, plum fragrant pork ribs, stewed lion's head, spicy duck blood and crab roe soup buns skillfully. Meiling porridge, ancient sugar taro sprouts and red bean wine brewed with small yuanxiao.

Zuo Rong and Zhao Yangyang, who didn't know the amount of food, were frightened when they heard it, fearing that they wouldn't be able to finish it.However, seeing that the dishes were served in small portions, they felt that they might have to increase the appetite for four people.

In order to control the quality of the food chain restaurants, they must grasp the amount of each raw material, strictly control the cooking time, and prevent the taste from being wrong. However, the result of being too cautious will not be outstanding.

Ups and downs are the laws of nature, just like no one can always be on top and never make mistakes. Moderation is a good choice, but don't try to be outstanding.

Zuo Rong often feels very contradictory. On the one hand, he wants to be an ordinary person without troubles, and on the other hand, he implements the principle of "what I want is the best".

Probably everyone is like this, greedy and unsatisfied.With outstanding appearance, one wants to have a smart brain, and one has a happy family but also wants to be rich.

The appearance of eating is ugly, very bad, but it cannot be changed.

The four young men quickly cleaned up the dishes, and they were indeed only half full after eating.Zuo Rong wanted to add a few more dishes, but Zhao Yangyang proposed to eat ice cream. There is an online celebrity shop in this shopping mall that he has been coveting for a long time.

Boys have this advantage. In winter, they can eat ice cream whenever they want, and they don’t have to worry about cold and stomach pains.

The four of them lined up for more than ten minutes, and their outstanding height and appearance immediately attracted the attention of the girls.Lu Renjie at least took up some height, and Zhao Yangyang, who had nothing, was sandwiched between the three tall guys, and he didn't feel inferior, but he always felt that he had three bodyguards with him.

When they were in line, four or five groups of girls had already come over to strike up a conversation, Zuo Rong and Zhu Qingyan unanimously replied indifferently, "I have a date".

Lu Renjie, the only one in the dormitory who had a date, and Zhao Yangyang, who was obviously honest and single but had no one to talk to, both expressed contempt for them.

The shop's signature is whipped cream ice cream topped with pieces of fresh honeycomb.

The four of them ordered one each, and Lu Renjie strongly urged everyone to take a picture of the ice cream together. In addition to the Nanjing Dapai stall just now, they gathered nine pictures and posted a circle of friends with the copywriting: Dinner in the dormitory [applause].

The girls in the class commented one after another: Who wants to see the food, show us the school grass!

The ice cream really lives up to its reputation. The milk taste is very fragrant, but the sweetness is not high, so it is not greasy at all, and it is just right with honey.The honeycomb is very novel to the four of them, and the taste is actually nothing special, but the texture is crispy and soft after biting, and it can be made into a□□r.

At the end of the day, Zuo Rong felt very happy.He spent the whole morning with Kong Feicheng, and had dinner with his friends in the evening. On such days, he hoped to have more and more in the future.

Now that the friends are by my side, it seems that whether all this can be realized depends on Kong Feicheng.
