Chapter 21 Love Beast.

They were standing on the side of the road and the tug of war made both Shen Qingqing and Sasa see something was going on. Shen Qingqing asked Sasa in a low voice, "Who is this?"

Sasa stared at them and said, "I don't know either..."

Sun Ziyi really didn't expect Xu Zecheng to suddenly appear downstairs of her house. After all, their last meeting and separation were too dramatic. She had never thought that Xu Zecheng would come again. Sun Ziyi whispered, "I replied, just now. I haven't been on WeChat these days. What are you doing here?"

Xu Zecheng showed her the dish in his hand. "It's getting colder in Beijing today and I'm alone. I want to have hotpot with you. Can you spare some of your precious time to accompany me to fight the cold?"

Sun Ziyi lowered his head to look into the vegetable bag and asked him, "Why don't you go clubbing with your friends? Doesn't clubbing help you resist the cold?"

Xu Zecheng quickly argued, "Last time was just an accident. Don't think I'm out fooling around every day, okay?"

She stopped chatting with him and turned to look at the bag of vegetables in Xu Zecheng's hand. Xu Zecheng said like a child showing off his grades, "Wagyu beef, sweet shrimp."

Sun Ziyi looked at the Jingkelong store behind him with a bit of surprise and said, "The Jingkelong store downstairs from my house also has Wagyu beef?"

"I brought it from my refrigerator."

Sun Ziyi said "oh" and turned around to look at Sasa and Shen Qingqing. He found that the two of them were consciously staying away from them, and the expressions they gave them at this moment were as if they would not delay their good things.

She had to shout to communicate with the other two people, so she simply stopped shouting and said to Xu Zecheng directly, "Those two are my friends too. Are the vegetables you bought enough for us?"

Xu Zecheng waved to the two girls and said, "Then I'll go buy some more."

Sun Ziyi turned around and shouted, "You guys take the vegetables upstairs, we'll buy some more meat."

Sasa and Shen Qingqing walked over quickly, and when they got close, they whispered "sorry to bother you", took the dishes from Xu Zecheng and ran away with bad intentions.

-

The two entered the supermarket, and Xu Zecheng pushed a shopping cart and followed Sun Ziyi. "Are these friends you made after coming to Beijing?"

Sun Ziyi hummed and said, "The one with the round face is Wang Shu's wife, my good friend."

Xu Zecheng said "oh", Sun Ziyi turned around, and the two almost bumped into each other. There was a bit of ambiguity between their breathing.

Winter does make people a little fanciful. Why hadn't she noticed before that Xu Zecheng had grown so tall? Even if she bumped into him, she wouldn't be able to hit his face. At most, she would just brush his chin.

The collision made Sun Ziyi very embarrassed. Xu Zecheng took two plates of beef and threw them into the shopping cart, then lowered his head to look at her and broke the silence. "Are you afraid that I will tell her about Wang Shu? Do you think I am such a friendly person?"

She subconsciously took two steps back and said, "No, I'm just telling you something.

Sun Ziyi suddenly thought of @Chengcheng and asked again, "Do you play D Station? What's your ID?"

"Daniel Wu from Tianjin." Xu Zecheng picked up two bottles of milk and threw them into the shopping cart, answering without thinking.

Sun Ziyi said "oh", she didn't know why she felt a little disappointed, and she said pickily, "Who eats hot pot and drinks milk? It's so disgusting."

Xu Zecheng threw a few more bags of bread in from the counter beside him. "I bought this for you as breakfast. Didn't you say you never eat breakfast?"

Sun Ziyi felt a little awkward, "I'm lactose intolerant." Xu Zecheng said, "You're kidding, didn't you drink all the milk when I was in elementary school?"

She pretended not to hear and walked to the next counter.

There were too many people at checkout, so the two of them pushed the shopping cart side by side into the checkout line. When it was their turn, Xu Zecheng took out all the items in the cart and waited for the cashier to scan the code. Bored, Xu Zecheng turned around and looked at her and said, "Why are you asking me for my ID? Are you following Tianjin Daniel Wu? There are many charming pictures of me in it."

Sun Ziyi wanted to laugh. "What charming figure? I've seen you naked before."

The cashier looked up and glanced at them.

-

When Sasa was peeling cauliflower in the kitchen of Sun Ziyi's house, Chen Qingqing was lying on the small window of the kitchen looking down. Sun Ziyi and Xu Zecheng had already returned, and she was small and alone beside him.

Without even turning back, Sasa gossiped with Shen Qingqing, "Look at these two, aren't they a little interesting?"

Sasa came over with the still-dripping cauliflower and saw Sun Ziyi walking forward with her head lowered. Xu Zecheng was walking right behind her, as if to protect her. "Of course, the body language is not simple."

Shen Qingqing was a little relieved. "It's rare for an iron tree to bloom. Sun Ziyi hasn't even been in love yet."

Sasa was stunned for a moment. "Hasn't she ever been in love?"

Chen Qingqing said in surprise, "Don't you know this? Sun Ziyi studied hard as a child and never thought of falling in love. When he entered society, especially in Beijing, it was difficult for him to find a lover. With some people, you don't know whether they need love or a roommate to share the rent."

Sasa nodded in agreement, "It's really hard to find true love in a high-pressure big city."

Shen Qingqing asked again, "What about you, are you in a relationship?"

Sasa's mind subconsciously flashed back to Chen Ang, and then she said, "I haven't dated for many years, but when I was in college, I was a sea king, flirting with everyone."

Chen Qingqing groaned and asked, "So someone hurt you badly later?"

Sasa looked at Sasa with an understanding expression, "You are very good at drawing inferences about other situations, Qingqing."

"Married women always have something special." She smiled with her eyes curved.

"But it wasn't later, it was before. Someone hurt me badly before, so I became the Female Aquaman." Sasa said.

The two of them were chatting animatedly in the kitchen. Sun Ziyi came in carrying some vegetables and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about your iron tree blooming." Shen Qingqing leaned in front of her and asked quietly, "What's going on?"

Sun Ziyi knew that the two of them must have been gossiping about him and Xu Zecheng, so he shouted, "Come to the kitchen, Xu Zecheng."

Xu Zecheng immediately popped his head into the kitchen and looked at her. Sun Ziyi said, "Say hello."

Xu Zecheng waved and said hi to them both, "Hello, I'm Xu Zecheng."

The two girls greeted each other formally and introduced themselves. After Xu Zecheng returned to the living room, Sasa turned on the range hood and the kitchen immediately became noisy.

Two people cornered Sun Ziyi and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Shen Qingqing tilted her chin towards the living room and said, "This boy is quite handsome."

Seeing the two people making a fuss, Sun Ziyi quickly defended himself, "Xu Zecheng is my childhood friend. We grew up together."

Shen Qingqing exclaimed, "Childhood horse!"

Sun Ziyi waved his hand. "What childhood sweetheart? His family has ascended to heaven and opened a golf course in Shunyi. We are just old acquaintances."

Sasa and Shen Qingqing looked at each other and said, "Old acquaintance? Or a golf ball? Childhood sweetheart and domineering boss!"

Sun Ziyi knew they would be gossiping endlessly, so he turned around and started looking for a pot in the kitchen. "Where's my Little Bear rice cooker?"

The three of them started looking for the pot in the kitchen again, and finally found it on top of the refrigerator. Even with their height, none of them could reach it.

Sasa quickly poked Sun Ziyi and said, "Hurry up and ask your childhood sweetheart to come and get your Little Bear Rice Cooker!"

Sun Ziyi rolled her eyes, opened the kitchen door, stuck her head out, and saw Xu Zecheng sitting quietly on the sofa looking at Yasunari Kawabata on her snack cart.

Sun Ziyi wanted to call him, but suddenly he felt playful and made a "busi busi" sound in Xu Zecheng's direction. Like a snake making a signal, this was the way they called people when they were children.

Xu Zecheng turned his head to look at her. Sun Ziyi thought Xu Zecheng would laugh at her for being childish and boring, but Xu Zecheng also opened his mouth and said, "Booth, Booth."

Both of them grinned, and Sun Ziyi stretched out his hand and hooked him, "Come and help me get the Little Bear rice cooker!"

Xu Zecheng walked into the kitchen and Sun Ziyi pointed to him the location of the rice cooker. He was behind Sun Ziyi and took the Little Bear rice cooker with one hand. There was a data cable behind the rice cooker, which almost hit Sun Ziyi's face. Seeing this, Xu Zecheng immediately stretched out his other hand to protect her forehead.

Sasa and Shen Qingqing hissed behind them, looked at each other, and Shen Qingqing whispered to Sasa, "This one really hit me!"

Sasa and Shen Qingqing turned into best friends while eating. They sat on the same side in tacit understanding, leaving the other side for Sun Ziyi and Xu Zecheng to sit next to each other.

After the dishes were laid out, the pot started boiling. Xu Zecheng was busy back and forth, adding vegetables and meat. The thick and fatty beef was cooked in a few strokes. He gave the first piece to Sun Ziyi. Sun Ziyi took a bite and said in surprise, "How come this meat is so thick and fragrant?"

Xu Zecheng picked up another piece of meat with his chopsticks and gave it to her, saying, "The barbecued beef we just brought is thicker than the hot pot beef."

Sun Ziyi couldn't help but pat Xu Zecheng on the shoulder and praised him for being "really good at shopping."

Sasa and Shen Qingqing looked at each other, and both of them read a lot of disgust in each other's eyes.

Shen Qingqing took out her phone, created a group for the three of them, and gave Sun Ziyi a guide to contact between men and women in the group.

Shen Qingqing asked, "Why are you patting his shoulder? Do you want to become sworn brothers with him?"

Sasa agreed and posted, "You can cover your mouth if it's delicious and glance at him lightly with joy. What do you want to do by patting him on the shoulder? Even if you just give him a light whack, don't act like a buddy."

Sasa sent another message: "I said look, not look. Do you know what look means? I don't mean you should look at others in a swaggering manner, but I mean you should raise your eyes casually..."

After sending the message, Sasa made a look for her to look at her phone. She lowered her head and opened it. After seeing the dialog box between the two of them, Sun Ziyi replied, "There's really nothing between us! He just came to our place for dinner."

Sasa replied, "Love is built up one meal at a time."

Shen Qingqing sent a thumbs-up expression and said, I agree.

Sun Ziyi closed his phone, picked up a piece of meat for each of the two people opposite him, and said, "Eat it, both of you!"

Chen Qingqing obviously didn't give up on gossiping and asked, "Mr. Xu and our Ziyi are childhood friends? Did Sun Ziyi have any interesting things when he was a child? Share them."

"Yeah, share, share." Sasa said from the side.

Xu Zecheng thought for a moment, put down his chopsticks, and said, "When she was little, she loved wearing skirts. In kindergarten, she even liked to dress up as Snow White. But when she was going through the small door, she got stuck. When she walked in, her skirt was still at the door, revealing her white knitted pants underneath."

Shen Qingqing and Sasa imagined the scene for three seconds, then burst into laughter.

Sun Ziyi reached out again, hit Xu Zecheng, and said, "What do you mean by 'line pants'? Those are ballet pants!"

Xu Zecheng covered his shoulder, which had been hit by her, and said with a smile, "How would I know? I've never worn ballet pants."

Sun Ziyi was stunned at first, then she burst into laughter, she laughed and Xu Zecheng laughed too, the whole table was rolling back and forth, after she laughed enough, she pointed at Xu Zecheng and said, "Why don't you tell them that the skirt is yours! That's the skirt Aunt Liu bought for you, she gave it to me because you didn't want to wear it, haha ​​...

Xu Zecheng's smile froze on his face, and he froze completely. Sun Ziyi laughed even harder, reached out and patted Xu Zecheng on the shoulder, saying, "You forgot, you really forgot?"

Chen Qingqing and Sasa's smiles froze on their faces because she patted their shoulders. Only Sun Ziyi was laughing at the table.

Chen Qingqing posted in the WeChat group, "When you are old and live in a nursing home, go ahead and date the old man next door. You are simply a beast."

Xu Zecheng endured it, and tried to save face, saying, "My mother liked girls at that time. Before she gave birth to me, she bought all the clothes for me until I was ten years old. Then when I was born, she gave the clothes to Sun Ziyi."

Sasa accurately grasped the message in this sentence and asked, "Do the adults from both your families know each other?"

Xu Zecheng nodded. "Of course. We used to visit each other during festivals. But in recent years, our family moved to Beijing, so we haven't been in touch much."

"But my dad and Uncle Sun will share with each other on WeChat." Xu Zecheng turned around and said to Sun Ziyi, and Sun Ziyi nodded.

Sun Ziyi said, "When Uncle Xu returned last year, he came to my house for a drink."

Xu Zecheng was a little surprised. "Really? How could I not know? My dad didn't even call me."

The two chatted back and forth, and Chen Qingqing and Sasa sent messages to each other on WeChat.

"Do you think they have a chance?"

"These two people don't play by the rules, and are difficult to analyze."

Sasa changed the name of the group of three people to: Love Beasts.
