Unprepared to meet again, the two stared at each other, one face remained calm, the other squinted with a smile, and looked at each other from head to toe.

"I'm here to play with Ningzai," He Yu responded very quickly, shaking her head and raising her eyebrows with a smile, "Is Miss Gu too?"

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Chixi to answer, she looked over and landed on the courtyard gate at the back. She suddenly realized something and asked, "Do you have the key?"

That gaze returned to Gu Chixi's face, with a little scrutiny and exploration, which was meaningful.

As soon as the voice fell, Wen Ning came out with the barbecue.

She heard a little movement inside and thought something was going on. When she saw Gu Chixi, she was dumbfounded.

this person...

Suddenly come back and don't tell her?

Looking at the two eyes at the same time, Gu Chixi's expression was cold, but there was tension in her eyes. She wanted to tell He Yu that this was "my own home", but remembered the conditions agreed with Wen Ning, so she could only hold back her words. In the stomach, looking for another reason.

Without waiting for her to think about it, Wen Ning said casually, "Oh, she doesn't have a house, so she will stay with me for a while."

Seems like a perfect reason.

Gu Chixi's eyes darkened, her fingertips pressed tightly against the serrations of the metal key, her fingernails were slightly white, and the dull pain kept her awake, so as to cooperate with Wen Ning, she hummed peacefully.

"Ah, so..." He Yu smiled and nodded.

She is also a friend, and she doesn't have the key to Ningzai's house. It seems that it is a disadvantage to have a house. She thought gloomily in her heart, and looked at Gu Chixi again.

She is also a beauty, with a cold and deep face, with a faint sense of alienation, but not mean, I was surprised when I saw it last time, but in He Yu's heart, Wen Ning is more beautiful.

The style of clothes he wears is very ordinary, but the fabrics are very finely cut, and there are not too many jewelry. There are only a pair of pearl earrings and a thin chain watch all over his body. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary white-collar worker, but in terms of temperament, it gives people a cold and oppressive feeling, which is different.

For example, the bag in her hand and the watch on her wrist, even if she doesn't have a house, she can rent a high-end apartment for a long time.

It really doesn't look like someone who needs to borrow.

He Yu murmured in his heart.

"Xiaoyu, help me move it." Wen Ning's voice interrupted her thoughts.

The barbecue was quite heavy, and Wen Ning stared blankly at her words, and her arms were sore after holding it on her hand for a long time. He Yu quickly put down the plastic bag, reached out to support the shelf, and the two of them moved it together to the stone table in the yard.

"Miss Gu, do you want to have a barbecue with us?" She looked at Gu Chixi who was still standing there.

Gu Chixi didn't speak, his eyes fell on Wen Ning.

It is clearly the home of her and her legal wife, but she feels like an uninvited guest, don't break in and watch other people's joys, lonely and superfluous.

Wen Ning's scalp was a little numb, and she was reluctant, but she had to have a good face. She nodded calmly, and pretended to be inviting and said, "Come on. Put your bag in first."

Gu Chixi turned around and entered the house.

The plastic bag contained the ingredients. The two of them took them out and placed them on the same plate. Wen Ning looked around and said, "I'll go get the charcoal."

The charcoal was placed in the kitchen, but Wen Ning didn't take it, and went straight to Gu Chixi's room.

It was late, the lights were not turned on in the room, and it was a little dim. Gu Chixi was sitting beside the bed and looked down at her phone. She had just hung up a call and was about to go out when there were two knocks on the door, and then Wen Ning came in.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?" Wen Ning glanced out and took the door.

Gu Chixi was stunned, lowered his eyes and said, "I sent you a WeChat message, and I also called you, but you didn't answer." His voice was as calm as always, and he couldn't tell his emotions.

"…"

Wen Ning choked for a moment, remembering that she and He Yu had come back from buying ingredients, put her phone on the sofa, and then the two entered the kitchen together, less than an hour from now.

"When did you post it?" she asked.

Gu Chixi answered truthfully, "About half an hour ago."

"Shouldn't it be said half a day in advance?"

"…"

Hearing her slightly reproachful tone, Gu Chixi's heart became sour, her long eyelashes drooped so low that she almost closed her eyes, and after a long while, she whispered, "I've been very busy recently, so I don't have time to meet, today is my temporary intention and I want to come back to see it. look at you."

The voice is getting lower and lower, full of grievances.

Wen Ning stared at her blankly, her throat blocked and she was speechless for a while.

Every time this person shows weakness, he always steps on the softest part of her heart just right, neither light nor heavy, like a kitten's claws scratching, tingling and itching, accompanied by sour and bitter tastes.

Neither uncomfortable nor to blame.

"It's okay..." Gu Chixi suddenly stood up, "If it's inconvenient, I can go." She smiled wryly at Wen Ning, picked up her bag, and went to the door.

Wen Ning calmed down and grabbed her arm, "I've already told you to stay, you go now, what should I say when Xiaoyu asks?"

Gu Chixi stiffened slightly, "Do you care about her thoughts?"

"…"

It's that invisible fire. The smell of medicine.

Wen Ning took a deep breath, let it out weakly, and let go of her arm, "Xiaoyu is my friend, of course I care what she thinks, she's straight, you don't need to be jealous about this kind of thing—"

Talking too fast, she suddenly stopped.

jealous...

This term is very sensitive and ambiguous.

Her ears blushed, and when she raised her eyes, she was greeted by Gu Chixi's unintelligible gaze, and she quickly turned her face away, using her hair to cover up.

"I mean-"

"Don't go," Gu Chixi interrupted in a low voice, grabbing her hand, "It just happens that we haven't eaten barbecue for a long time, let's go together."

Invisibly gave her a step.

Wen Ning also knew that she would go down and turned her face, "Don't you not eat junk food? High oil and heavy seasoning."

Gu Chixi bent his eyes, and a gentle smile raised on the corner of his lips: "How can you bake garbage."

"Who said I was going to bake for you." Wen Ning muttered softly.

"Help He Yu bake?"

"You are..."

"Just kidding." Seeing her impatient expression, Gu Chixi immediately changed his tune, "I'll bake it myself."

When it got dark, the yard was lit with cold white lights.

The barbecue racks were filled with ingredients, the charcoal sparks burning in the stove were visible, and there was a strong aroma of barbecue in the air. The three sat around the stone table, chatting while eating.

Wen Ning and He Yu have endless conversations. They are familiar with each other, and they always like to joke with each other, laughing and laughing, very lively.

Gu Chixi sat quietly beside her, the light made her skin paler and her thick eyelashes cast a faint shadow on the bottom of her eyes. She didn't interrupt, just listened silently, and sometimes raised her eyes to look at He Yu. , but most of the time, her eyes stayed on Wen Ning.

It was hot, and Wen Ning only wore a small vest, with a slender neck, a deep concave collarbone socket, and a black inner strap. His eyes moved slightly inward, and it was a deep and short ravine.

The figure that has been exercised all the year round, the muscles and the flesh are well-proportioned and firm.

That's how she looked.

"The beef skewers are ready, let me take a look." Wen Ning looked at the barbecue and stood up.

Beef kebabs were roasting on the shelf, sizzling with oil, she sprinkled some fresh and spicy powder and cumin powder, picked up a few skewers and handed them to He Yu, "Here, Xiaoyu, your favorite."

Turning his eyes, Gu Chixi was looking at her faintly.

That look seems to say: I want too.

Wen Ning's heart suddenly trembled, she lowered her head pretending to be calm, and sprinkled a little cumin powder on the remaining beef skewers - she knew that Gu Chixi was not very fond of spicy food and did not like strong seasonings.

She put the beef skewers on the plate in front of Gu Chixi, and gave two extra skewers of freshly grilled oyster mushrooms.

Gu Chixi slightly hooked the corner of his mouth. Although there was no expression on his face, his eyes were bright, like a child who is satisfied with candy.

-childish.

Wen Ning groaned, a smile involuntarily appeared in her eyes.

"Ningzai, what about oyster mushrooms? I want to eat them too." He Yu's eyes wandered between the two, and he suddenly spoke.

"Yes," Wen Ning pointed to the plate where the raw food was placed, but it was empty. She said "Huh" and went to look for it in the bag again, "It seems that it's gone, we bought less."

As soon as those words fell, Gu Chixi looked at his plate subconsciously.

There was an awkward premonition.

"Oh-"

He Yu was a little disappointed, and her voice became louder involuntarily, "I knew I would buy more, but it wouldn't be enough, alas."

Gu Chixi looked at the oyster mushrooms in his plate, hesitated for a moment, took out half of it and handed it over, and said, "I still have it here."

"Ah, thank you Miss Gu." He Yu immediately raised her eyebrows.

Gu Chixi pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.

She knew that He Yu did it on purpose, but she was used to being indifferent and calm. However, in the few seconds of hesitation, she was really reluctant and did not want to give it.

Because it was roasted with lemon lemon for her.

Suddenly, I remembered something from my childhood...

I remember that it was the weekend after the Qingming Festival. The neighbors in Tianhe Bay organized an outing activity. The adults took their children to Lianwu Mountain on the outskirts of Los Angeles. They camped at the foot of the mountain, had a picnic and made a barbecue.

The young children in Tianhe Bay are also six or seven years old, running and jumping, and a large group of people are very lively.

Wen Ning and Gu Chixi stick together like conjoined babies.

They didn't make trouble with those little brats. They stood quietly in front of the barbecue grill and fiddled with food. Wen Ning stared at the barbecue and wanted to do it by herself. Gu Chixi was afraid that she would get burnt, so she insisted not to let her, and only taught her to wait. Just eat.

Gu Chixi baked a few chicken wings for Wen Ning, put them on a plate, told her to hang for a while before eating, then brought an apron to put on for her, and went to the toilet.

Wen Ning was greedy, staring at the chicken wings and nearly drooling, puffing out her cheeks and breathing continuously.

Several children were running around, one of the little girls smelled the fragrance, ran over, saw the roasted chicken wings, and reached for it.

"What are you doing?" Wen Ning patted her hand away.

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and said in a milky voice, "I want to eat too."

"No," Wen Ning took a step back holding the plate, "my sister baked it for me, you have to eat it and get it yourself."

"My mom said everyone can eat everything!"

"I don't care, it's mine." Wen Ning was very protective of her food, covering her plate tightly for fear of being robbed.

The little girl was also spoiled at home. She usually wanted anything. Seeing that Wen Ning was occupying the food, she rushed over to grab it arrogantly. Wen Ning clung to the plate tightly but didn't let go.

"give me!"

"No!"

After all, a six- or seven-year-old child was not as strong as a twelve-year-old Wen Ning. As soon as she lost her strength, Wen Ning staggered and fell back, her center of gravity was unstable, and the plate and chicken wings in her hand fell to the ground.

No one has to eat now.

Wen Ning was so angry that she slapped the little girl and shouted, "You pay me for the chicken wings!"

The little girl cried out loudly.

The movement attracted other children and adults, hula circled around, the little girl's parents kept asking what was going on, and she cried and cried to Wen Ning.

The parents just thought it was a child's temper tantrum, and they each coaxed a few words and pulled their daughter away.

When Gu Chixi came back from the toilet, Wen Ning stubbornly threw herself into her arms with a stubborn face, "Sister..."

"What's wrong?" She pinched her little ear.

Wen Ning said with tears in her eyes: "The chicken wings you baked for me are gone, woo woo..." She recounted what happened, crying hummingly, her body twitching.

Gu Chixi was very distressed, but she was not very good at coaxing people. She hugged and rubbed her hair, "Good, I'll bake it for you again, so I won't cry."

Somehow, from that time, or even earlier, they have regarded each other as the most precious thing, from a small bite to a whole person.

As it got late, the moon broke through the clouds and poured down a ray of silver light.

The food was almost eaten, and the three of them were a little stretched. After sitting for a while, Wen Ning asked Gu Chixi to take a bath first, and she and He Yu packed up the tools in the yard.

"Ningzai, what does your friend do?" He Yu asked casually.

Wen Ning paused, half of her face was hidden in the dark, and she lied: "She... just resigned, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, just ask."

"…Um."

Her expression was unnatural, and He Yu stared suspiciously for a while, unable to think of any reason to ask, so she had to give up.

The two emptied the trash, gathered the dishes, cleaned the grill and racks, carried them in, and talked while washing dishes in the kitchen.

After Gu Chixi came out of the shower, she tilted her head and glanced at Wen Ning's room. It was pitch black and no one was there. Then she heard a voice on the first floor. She went downstairs, and when she passed the kitchen, she saw Wen Ning and Wen Ning. He Yu was standing next to the sink.

She paused, looked away, and walked to her room.

The door was left open, leaving only a gap. Gu Chixi held his phone against the wall, and while replying to the assistant's message, he held his breath and listened to the movement outside.

The footsteps of the two left the kitchen one after another, and they talked about taking a shower, then one went upstairs, the other walked towards this side, and entered the next room-obviously, He Yu was staying here tonight.

Then, the footsteps entered the bathroom on the first floor, and there was a sound of water.

Gu Chixi thought he was going to sleep, so he breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the bed and sat down, rubbed his temples, his nerves relaxed, and he was very tired.

After replying to the work message, she got up to close the door.

I don't know when the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. It took less than ten minutes before and after, and then the footsteps came out. Gu Chixi turned to one side and hid behind the door, but he didn't wait for He Yu to go next door, but heard her Go straight upstairs.

"Lemon cub—" There was a knock on the door.

The door upstairs opened and closed, and there was no movement.

Gu Chixi suddenly felt sleepless.

go upstairs?

She was in a mess, thinking about all the possibilities, her hands clenched into fists, and her fingernails sank deep into her palms.

The living room was lit by a small night light, and the dim light shone faintly. After an unknown time, the door upstairs opened, and footsteps came down.

Gu Chixi quietly looked out through the crack of the door...

Wen Ning came down with the water cup, walked to the dining table, picked up the teapot and weighed it, it was empty and there was no cold water. She tutted, frowned, put down the teapot, and turned to go to the kitchen.

Her waist was suddenly entangled by a force, and the warm breath from her back came close to her, closely surrounding her.

The whole person was pushed against the wall.

"What is she doing in your room?" A soft kiss fell on her ear, and Gu Chixi's low voice came muffled.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Gu: What did she do in your room?

Ningzai: Dou Dizhu, are you coming?
