If I could eat hot pot, drink milk tea, watch a movie, set off fireworks, and take photos together with Qin Ran this winter, then this winter would definitely be wonderful!
But if that's not possible this winter, then I'll buy a longer down jacket and tuck my hands into the sleeves. Next year, I hope Qin Ran will hold my hand that's been cold all winter.
--Liu Yiyi.
................
It was getting close to evening.
Liu Yiyi patted the shoulder of Su Muyue who was sleeping.
Su Muyue woke up drowsily and rubbed her eyes. "What's wrong? Have you eaten?"
"Are you here to take care of me, or are you here to eat?"
Su Muyue's pretty face flushed, "No, I thought I had eaten."
"Don't sleep anymore. Go buy some vegetables. There's a vegetable market next to the community."
"What are you buying?"
"Buy some meatballs, shrimp, vegetables, etc. We're having hot pot tonight. Oh, and don't forget to buy the hot pot base."
"I'll order it on my phone."
"You haven't even been to the market, have you? Little Muyue."
"Who said that! I'm just worried that the trip back and forth will take too long."
"The market is very close, go quickly, don't wait for Qin Ran to prepare everything, he's not your babysitter."
"I'll go."
"Buy some drinks."
......
Liu Yiyi lay on the balcony and looked down, watching Su Muyue leave the community.
Today I can finally have hotpot with Qin Ran.
Even though I had to wait for four winters and one more person, it was still good.
Better late than never.
Liu Yiyi leaned on her crutches and went to the kitchen to wash dishes, boil water, and make preparations in advance.
More than half an hour later, the door rang.
Liu Yiyi jumped to the door and opened it.
Su Muyue, with expressions of "I'm tired" and "unhappy" written on her face, carried two bags of food and placed them on the dining table.
"Don't put it on the table, wash it in the kitchen."
Su Muyue ignored him and took out some drinks and potato chips, then carried the remaining ingredients into the kitchen.
The two people divided the work, one washed the vegetables and the other cut them.
There is one more point of tacit understanding.
......
Qin Ran, who had been busy all afternoon, smelled a fragrance and looked at the time, only to find that it was almost six o'clock.
When he opened the door, he saw Liu Yiyi and Su Muyue sitting at the dining table, looking at him with smiles.
Qin Ran couldn't help but smile. "I was so busy that I forgot. Sorry. Want to eat hot pot today?"
"Yes, just wash your hands and come over to eat with us."
"good."
Various kinds of meatballs are floating in the boiling pot, including fish balls, beef balls, and shrimp balls.
Liu Yiyi started to add meat and called to Su Muyue beside her, "Don't just stand there, squeeze in some shrimp paste."
“Oh~”
Before they knew it, the two of them were no longer as confrontational as they were at the beginning.
Qin Ran took a tissue to wipe his hands, then sat down.
"It smells so good! What kind of hot pot base is it?"
"Butter." Su Muyue said, "I went to buy it."
"sharp!"
Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes at Su Muyue and said, "It takes half a day just to buy some vegetables."
"It's very heavy, okay?! I can talk while standing without any back pain."
"I sat, not stood."
Qin Ran said helplessly, "You two should stop bickering. There's delicious food in front of us, can you please show some respect?"
Liu Yiyi put on a smile and said, "Okay~"
"Tsk~"
Liu Yiyi glared at Su Muyue, who glared back without hesitation.
Qin Ran shook his head, picked up a piece of beef, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.
Very tender and good taste.
Then he picked up a piece of beef for each of them.
"Eat first. The beef will get tough later. I'll go make the sauce."
"Qin Ran, I want one too."
Su Muyue hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "I want one too."
"knew."
The three of them sat together, eating hot pot on this late winter and early spring day.
The heat rising from the house dispelled the last chill of winter.
......
More than an hour later.
Su Muyue let out a long sigh, she was full again.
"belch"
Su Muyue quickly covered her mouth.
But seeing that the two of them didn't react, she didn't feel so embarrassed.
"Burp~"
Su Muyue's face became more and more rosy!
"I'm going to, burp, wash the dishes."
"Take a break, eat some fruit, I'll do the washing tonight."
"I'll wash it."
"Stop arguing. You guys prepared the ingredients and worked hard. I'll do the dishes. Next time I'll cook and you guys wash the dishes, okay?"
Qin Ran stood up and cleaned up.
Su Muyue and Liu Yiyi sat on the sofa.
The latter opened a bag of potato chips and subconsciously handed it to Su Muyue.
Su Muyue also subconsciously picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
But both of them felt something was wrong.
Do we have a good relationship?
Liu Yiyi took back the potato chips and looked at Qin Ran.
It would be great if Su Muyue wasn’t here.
Qin Ran could stay with her and watch a movie together later.
Su Muyue's eyes also lingered on Qin Ran, with a complicated look in her eyes.
She finally discovered the good side of Qin Ran.
Qin Ran's love for her was inclusive.
Put up with her little temper.
Understand her little thoughts.
Su Muyue realized one thing: Qin Ran had not amazed her life, but he had softened her entire college life.
It's just that she didn't cherish it before.
Now there is no chance to cherish it.
Even though she lived under the same roof with Qin Ran, Su Muyue felt like she was getting further and further away from him!
She doesn't dare go home yet.
Because she didn't know how to face it.
Liu Yiyi saw through her thoughts. She didn't admit it, but she agreed in her heart.
