Chapter 68 Am I Your Boyfriend?
Chapter 68 Am I Your Boyfriend?
When Qi Zhengru woke up the next day, his mood had calmed down a lot, but he didn't talk much, and always stayed in the room in a daze.
Qi Yueluo found some literary movies he liked to watch, learned to cook different dishes with Shi Xingshen every day, and delivered three meals a day, and sometimes sat and watched movies with him for a while, or listened to him talk.
This kind of life lasted for nearly two weeks, until one day when Qi Zhengru woke up, he saw the double camellia blooming in the yard.
Clusters of pink and white colors, dyed with morning fog and sunlight, bloom warmly and brilliantly.
He looked at it for a while, then pushed open the bedroom door, and when he went downstairs and passed the living room, he heard a slight sound from the kitchen.
"Add some water, knead the dough and wait for it to ferment."
"Is it right to knead like this?"
"Well, the strength is right, change the direction and continue kneading, I will make the stuffing first."
"You remember to put more sauce and mushrooms, my relatives love to eat."
"Uncle Qi likes to eat or do you like to eat?"
"I love to eat, I love to eat..."
Qi Zhengru walked over following the sound, and through the sliding glass door of the kitchen, he saw Shi Xingshen inside teaching Qi Yueluo to knead flour to make buns.
Qi Yueluo studied very hard, with some white flour on the tip of his nose and forehead, and the loose apron around his body, he was obviously a half-grown kid, but standing next to Shi Xingchen, he looked like a child who hadn't grown up.
"Old Qi's appetite has improved a bit in the past two days, and I can make two more later."
Qi Yueluo said that she wrapped the kneaded dough with plastic wrap, and just wanted to go over to see how Shi Xingchen made the stuffing, when she turned her gaze, she saw Qi Zhengru standing at the door, watching them quietly.
Eyes met, before Qi Yueluo could speak, Qi Zhengru stepped in and asked him, "What are you doing?"
"Make buns."
Fearing that Qi Zhengru would say that he was wasting time, Qi Yueluo quickly added, "I'll go upstairs to do my homework when I'm done, and it won't delay my studies."
Qi Zhengru didn't say anything, and raised his hand to touch his head.
Looking at the scenery in the yard through the kitchen window for a while, Qi Zhengru said: "Ah Luo, I want to bring some camellia that your mother likes most to visit her in the hospital later, can you pick some for me?"
Qi Yueluo obediently said "oh", then washed her hands and ran out.
Shi Xingchen stirred the stuffing with chopsticks, looked out the window, and saw Qi Yueluo holding up a big black umbrella squatting on the cobblestone path to pick flowers. Find a pair of scissors and cut it off.
Then compare them one by one, cut them when they are almost the same length, and then put them into a vase filled with water.
Shi Xingchen watched, the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably, and just as he put down the bowl, he heard Qi Zhengru say, "Xingchen, thank you for teaching Ah Luo so well."
"In the past, I always treated him like a child. I felt that it was not suitable for him to know this, and it was not suitable for him to know that. I was afraid that he would not be able to bear it."
Qi Zhengru wiped his dry eyes, and slowly exhaled, "But after so many things, I realize that overprotection is also a burden."
Shi Xingchen took out two tissues and handed them over, "Actually, it's not true. With me, I will protect and spoil him unconditionally, and I have the ability to do this."
The implication is to blame Qi Zhengru for not being able to handle things and self-defeating.
Qi Zhengru was blocked and had nothing to say, as if for the first time he had removed the filter of Shi Xingchen's delusion of a good son, and seriously examined this brat who abducted his precious son.
"Speaking of... I haven't settled the score with you yet, Ah Luo has liked little girls since he was a child, how come he is with you so well?"
Shi Xingchen put the stuffing into the pot and stir-fried it, and answered him in a leisurely manner: "He liked the little girl before, and it doesn't conflict with his liking for me now, does it? Could it be that Uncle Qi thinks I'm not as good as Ah Luo?" Those little girls you like?"
Of course it's impossible to be inferior. You are so good that I feel like I don't know what's good and what's wrong if I object any more.
"It's not a question of being comparable..."
Qi Zhengru, who had always been sharp and eloquent, suddenly felt as if he had lost his ability to speak. He couldn't say anything to refute Shi Xingshen's simple two-sentence question.
He originally wanted to say that no matter how good you are, you are still a child, and you can't have children, but after thinking about it, if you were another girl, you might not be able to serve his family's bastard so patiently.
After all, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, no matter how much he opposes, it can't stop the two children from wanting to be friends together.
As if he had guessed what kind of intense emotional struggle Qi Zhengru had experienced in his heart, Shi Xingchen did not continue to attack, but instead opened the refrigerator, brought out a bowl of almost cold egg bean curd stick syrup and handed it to him.
"Try it, Ah Luo just learned it, he said you like to eat this, so he found the recipe and asked me to teach him."
The bean curd sticks were cut very finely, and the egg whites were dotted in the ginger-yellow syrup like flowers. It could be seen that Qi Yueluo made it with great care.
Qi Zhengru reached out to take it, his eyes were slightly moist.
"Actually, Ah Luo knew how to fry eggs at the age of eight, but over the years, he only knew how to cook noodles and fried eggs. Sometimes I didn't have time to cook for him, and he could eat the same boiled noodles with eggs for three days in a row. .”
Following his words, Shi Xingchen thought about Qi Yueluo's lazy look of not wanting to do anything, and couldn't help but twitch his lips, "It's indeed something he would do."
"But during this period of time, everything you ate was made by Ah Luo."
Qi Zhengru's eyes became even hotter. Seeing that Qi Yueluo seemed to have picked flowers and was about to walk in, he quickly wiped away his tears and drank the sugar water on his hand.
Qi Yueluo came in with a vase in her hand, and when she saw Qi Zhengru drank the sugar water, she leaned over and asked, "How is it? Have you learned the semi-successful power of Ms. Song Yun?"
Qi Zhengru put the bowl under the faucet to rinse, turned his back to him and calmed down his emotions, "Yes, Ah Luo, I will go to the hospital to accompany your mother, during this time you and Xingchen stay at home obediently, okay?"
"Okay," Qi Yueluo looked at him cheerfully supporting the kitchen counter, "Don't worry, I will stay at home and study well."
Qi Zhengru dried his hands, patted his head in relief, and went upstairs to pack his things.
Qi Yueluo had nothing to do, so she leaned on Shi Xingshen to watch him play, and looked at the stairs from time to time.
After a while, Qi Zhengru came down with a small bag of luggage, and drove away with the bottle of freshly picked tea flowers.
The noon sun was a little brighter, Qi Yueluo stood by the window and watched the car go further and further away, her brows drooping a little.
Shi Xingchen thought he was worried about Qi Zhengru, so he took the time to rub his head while mixing the sauce, "Don't worry, Uncle Qi seems to be in a good mood."
Qi Yueluo turned her head, her cheeks puffed up, and she said in a low voice: "I'm not worried, I'm just a little pity that he can't eat the buns I made. The ingredients are prepared for three people, it's too wasteful."
Shi Xing laughed dumbfounded: "It's such a pity, it will be ready and sent over later."
"Yes."
After being reminded by him, Qi Yueluo immediately regained her energy and continued to make the fermented dough.
The last steamed bun steamed twelve steamed buns. There were 24 steamed buns in the two cages. They were small in size. Qi Yueluo picked the seven most beautiful buns and packed them in fresh-keeping bags. Shi Xingchen took them to Qi Zhengru, and she herself Go upstairs and do your homework honestly.
During the vacation period, Shi Xingchen made a series of tutoring plans according to his study progress. The daily schedule was posted on the desk, and it was crossed out when it was completed, and a new one was pasted the next day.
Qi Yueluo had just finished writing two pages of basic chemistry questions when the cell phone beside her turned on.
——Zhao Yu: Master Qi, come to Babu Dongbai at seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Zi has good news to announce.
Babudong is a music barbecue bar near Shizhong. There are many students patronizing it, and it takes a week in advance to book a place on holidays. Qi Yueluo likes to eat the grilled chicken wings there.
He pondered over the schedule posted on the desk for a while, and then replied.
—Okay, but I can only stay for two hours, and I have to come back to work on the exercise book.
Zhao Yu replied in seconds.
——What kind of exercise book are you writing, just pretend to be a good student and don't do personnel work.
——By the way, Lin Zi told you to call Mr. Shi over, don't forget.
Qi Yueluo ignored his teasing, and made a voice call to Shi Xingchen while checking the options of the multiple-choice questions.
"Brother Shen, what are you doing?"
"Just arrived at the hospital."
Shi Xingchen paid the fare, got out of the car and closed the door, and took the phone in another hand, "What's wrong?"
"No, Linzi asked us to go to Babudong at seven o'clock in the evening, and said that he had something good to announce. What do you think?"
Shi Xingchen thought for a while, "I can do it, it's up to you."
Qi Yueluo rolled her tongue, "Then when will you come back? Or should I... pick you up?"
The volume of the next two words is slightly softer, with a little breathy sound.
Shi Xingshen asked knowingly, "Why did you pick me up?"
"Am I not your...boyfriend?"
Fearing that Shi Xingshen would make a joke, Qi Yueluo continued with a very serious tone: "Aren't you happy that your boyfriend is willing to pick you up? Why are you so ignorant?"
Shi Xing, who didn't know what to do, smiled, "Then boyfriend, have you finished your homework between now and seven o'clock?"
"........."
Qi Yueluo was discouraged all of a sudden, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'll finish writing later."
Shi Xingchen suppressed a smile, "Then write it, don't pick me up, I'll go back by myself later."
Qi Yueluo obediently said "Oh", turned a page and said a few more words, and hung up the phone after Shi Xingshen arrived in the ward.
At six o'clock in the evening, Qi Yueluo finished today's tutoring homework and went downstairs to find something to eat.
There were still a lot of steamed buns left in the afternoon, so he put a few out on a small dish, and just as he was about to eat, Shi Xingchen sent a message.
——I will go to Babudong first, and I will accompany Uncle Qi to listen to the doctor's treatment advice for Aunt Song's condition, and I will go there later.
Qi Yue fell back to a "good" past, and when she was full, she wrapped the remaining buns in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator.
After washing the steamer and tidying up the kitchen, seeing that it was almost time, he put on a coat and went out.
It was a bit far from Qi's house to Babudong, Qi Yueluo stood on the side of the road and hailed a taxi, just as he stopped one, he saw Hua Yingjing walking down the path.
"A Luo, did you go to Babudong?"
