Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Everything matches.

Half of the holiday passed by unknowingly.

Some people had already gotten tired of playing, while others would have to return to the group in a few days, so a group of people, without knowing who took the initiative, came up with the idea of ​​going to a party together this weekend.

Originally, this matter was not interesting, but someone said that we could sneak into Shi Shu's villa and have fun.

If Shi Shu found out, he could say that he had come to find him, and then naturally invite him to join; if he didn't find out, then he would come secretly, mess around in his house, and then leave secretly.

Then things suddenly became exciting!

However, they never expected that in just one month, their captain's relationship progressed so rapidly that he brought her home without saying a word. Fortunately, they ran into him face to face!

This is simply...

It’s so exciting that it’s almost fatal!

So seven or eight 190cm tall guys huddled behind Yan Tiankai in silence, using their hands and feet to covertly push him forward, and gestured with their bodies:

-Speak quickly!

-Aren't you the best at talking?

-Let me make this clear first, I can accept being kicked out on the spot, but if I have to be pushed into the water to swim for ten thousand or twenty thousand, please stay here!

Yan Tiankai accepted the task at a critical moment and could only bite the bullet and say, "Brother, what..."

"Since we're all here, why don't you just call your sister-in-law—future sister-in-law—and then, just call everyone together!"

He picked up several large bags of food and said, fulfilling his duty, "You just finished swimming, so you must be hungry. Don't you feel like sharing something with us while you eat?"

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. We can go ask... ahem—I, we can! I'll just quietly stay by the side and grill some skewers for you guys!"

Shi Shu didn't say anything. He glanced at everyone warningly and followed them upstairs.

Everyone knew that this meant tacit consent.

It's strange to say.

In fact, although the criminals were punished, no substantial punishment was ever given. Most of the time, it seemed that they were just too lazy to deal with such trivial matters.

But I don’t know if it’s because he’s guilty or what.

Often, with just a glance from him, everyone would immediately know where they should be buried after their death.

In the past, Chang Yang would definitely be the first to run away.

But today I really couldn't hold back my curiosity, so I turned around and started to build a fire with everyone, and started working quickly!

…

Return to the room.

When he saw the room full of daily necessities, Su Tu's mind had become much clearer. At least he could realize that no matter what the reason, these things did not look like gifts from Party A.

As the second party, she could only understand it at best.

Unable to accept it calmly, I estimated the value and thought that after his house was renovated, I would give him a large appliance of similar price to repay his kindness over the past period of time.

She took out the toiletries she brought from her bag and went into the bathroom.

After washing, he packed up his things.

I picked up my equipment bag and opened the door. Not surprisingly, I saw someone in the living room who had also washed up and changed into a refreshing white T-shirt and shorts.

She pursed her lips and smiled somewhat officially: "Well, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. You can go down and play with everyone."

Shi Shu stood up and put his phone back in his pocket: "Let's finish eating before we leave."

“There’s a barbecue downstairs, and pizza is on order.”

Su Tu said in a roundabout way: "No need."

"I'm not familiar with them, so it's a bit awkward."

Shi Shu nodded: "Then should I ask them to bring it up after they finish baking, or should we go to the audio-visual room?"

“…”

Su Tu choked for a moment, and had a new understanding of his dominance. After a long while, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Then let's go down."

-

More than half an hour passed.

The quiet courtyard seemed to have changed its scene.

Three charcoal barbecue grills on the grass were slowly emitting smoke. Two large sets of tables and chairs were put together in the shade. The tables were filled with a variety of snacks and drinks. Seven or eight tall young men were busy shuttling between them.

Seeing someone coming out of the house, they all turned their heads and greeted this side:

"Teacher Su."

"Sister Su Tu."

"Sister Susu."

Su Tu was a little surprised. He didn't know how he explained it to everyone, but the effect was immediate. No one dared to shout out that unbearable name anymore.

She nodded in response in a daze until someone suddenly changed her address to "Sister Tutu."

The friendly atmosphere came to an abrupt end.

Chang Yang was startled by a flash of fierce light, and immediately looked towards the source of the oppression with a shudder, and immediately smiled apologetically: "Ha... Is it true, can't we shout like that?"

Su Tu followed his gaze and looked to the side.

Um……

It's a bit cold, but it doesn't seem any different from usual, right?

She turned around and replied softly, "Sure."

Her nickname was Tu Tu because she liked drawing since she was a child.

Although no one would call her that outside, if you remove the word "sister", it actually sounds quite familiar.

But Chang Yang saw someone's expression and immediately refused: "Forget it, I think it's better to call me Sister Su Tu!"

Su Tu nodded: "All is fine."

The crisis is over.

Chang Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly pulled a chair closer to the table, and asked with a face full of gossip, "Well, Sister Su Tu, how did you and our captain know each other?"

Hearing this, Su Tu tilted his head and looked for instructions. Seeing that he didn't seem to have any objections, he said truthfully: "He has a house to design, and I am the designer."

“Oh~”

Someone said meaningfully: "So he is a designer~"

Yan Tiankai seemed to be still growing. He opened seven or eight packages of snacks in a row, showing off while listening. Only when he heard the words did he look up in surprise: "House?"

"The Intercontinental World thing?"

The charcoal fire is almost preheated.

Shi Shu looked at the ingredients behind him, hummed coldly and said, "Bring it here."

"Oh, okay!"

Yan Tiankai clapped his lips, turned around and did as he was told. After bringing it back, he asked again, "How did you..." grab that house?

Without waiting to finish.

Shi Shu opened the bag and asked Su Tu, "Look, what do you want to eat?"

They are all semi-finished products.

Su Tu casually asked back, "Do you want to grill it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people in front of him, who had just been so excited and seemed to have a lot of topics to talk about, suddenly got up and scrambled away, each with a look of fear on their faces.

"Brother, what! How about we go grill it?"

"No one can be good at everything! It's already amazing that you can swim!"

"Yes, yes! If you are really bored, just continue chatting with Sister Su Tu! But don't let it get out of your mind and do something so dangerous——"

As they spoke, they approached slowly and cautiously, and after successfully taking the bag from his hand bit by bit, they all ran away.

Su Tu was left confused: "What happened to them?"

Shi Shu's voice was calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, without any expression of emotion: "You don't want to eat what I cook."

Su Tu blinked: "Why?"

Shi Shu simply summarized it: "I've been hospitalized."

“…”

Su Tu choked up, his expression suddenly a little embarrassed. It was unclear whether he was sympathizing with their plight or consoling his cooking skills: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

At the same time, I was also a little curious: "What did you do?"

I'd better stay away from it.

Shi Shu took in her life-saving cleverness, paused, and then randomly picked a few and said, "Cthulhu Seafood Porridge, Stargazing Pie, and Demon Soup."

Su Tu was stunned again: "Dark cuisine?"

Shi Shu said "hmm" casually, but his eyes were filled with warning: "Don't try."

“…”

She looked stunned, thinking of her many useless hobbies, one of which was studying dark cuisine, but she often didn't dare to try it after making it, and couldn't find anyone to help taste it.

For a while, I often chattered on social media, wondering what it tasted like and whether I should pinch my nose and try it.

I don’t know how many times this has happened.

When these unintentional coincidences are pieced together, can they no longer be called coincidences?

She didn't seem surprised at all, but instead avoided looking away.

Then he made a vague "ang" sound and changed the subject, "So it's not that you're a bad cook, right? It's just that the food you make is a bit creepy."

"have no idea."

Shi Shu noticed something was wrong, but he didn't choose to be tactful. He even felt that he wasn't direct enough: "Want to try it?"

"OK."

Su Tu reluctantly agreed, and in his heart, he also wanted to send the other person away, so he smiled and said, "You can bake more, just in time for everyone to taste it, and by the way, clear the suspicion that your cooking skills are not good."

Shi Shu didn't refuse: "Okay."

As soon as he approached, the people who had been gathered around the charcoal grill immediately scattered.

Some were debating whether to run away, while others circled back to Su Tu and complained sadly: "Sister, why did my brother go to the barbecue anyway?!"

"Did you tell me who you're going to give it to after it's roasted? Are you planning to have us all hospitalized for a live performance just to cheer you up?!"

"No, no! I have to finish my snacks first! I'll just say later that I'm full and can't eat any more..."

As he spoke, he started to scramble for the snacks on the table.

Su Tu was too embarrassed to admit that he was the one who instigated this. He could only push away the snacks in front of him to reduce his guilt: "...Eat more."

Swimmers consume a lot of energy.

Before long, most of them were wiped out in a flash.

At the same time, four more people came into the yard, three men and one woman, all familiar faces in the sports circle.

Su Tu didn't pay much attention to it and couldn't pronounce the name, but he felt that it looked familiar.

The only girl among them seemed to be looking for someone when she entered the door. After turning around, she met her eyes and then smiled as if to greet her.

Su Tu was a little confused, but he still nodded in response.

Yan Tiankai burped, put down his drink and explained to her, "That's Sister Wen. She used to be on our team. She had a pretty good relationship with Brother Shu. One year they even won the medley relay championship together."

"We haven't seen her much since she retired last year, so we called her along before we got here."

Su Tu was stunned: "Good relationship?"

Yan Tiankai nodded: "Of course! We've been teammates for many years, and he's a little older than us, so he's quite caring towards us!"

Su Tu couldn't help but think of something: "Besides her, does your captain usually have a good relationship with anyone of the opposite sex?"

Yan Tiankai: “You!”

“…”

Chang Yang sensed something was wrong and immediately kicked him under the table and said, "Don't get me wrong, Sister Su Tu, there's nothing wrong between them..."

He paused and said, "Well, even if there was something going on, it's all in the past. They're both single now! There's definitely no unclear relationship!"

Seeing that he was getting more and more slandered, Su Tu smiled with a sense of accomplishment.

She didn't care if they had anything or not.

I just want to end this endless design cycle as soon as possible.

…

The other side.

Cai Wen walked straight to the charcoal grill, crossed her arms, and looked at the rare sight before her: "You rejected me just for her?"

Shi Shu threw the burnt saury into the trash can, watched the instructional video again, put his phone back in his pocket, and said without looking up, "Not really."

Cai Wen: “?”

Shi Shu: "Rejection is rejection, there is no reason to give."

“…”

"Okay, you're ruthless!"

Cai Wen gritted her teeth: "You won't even give me the slightest chance of blaming her for this, right?"

Shi Shu didn't say anything, just lowered his eyes and dealt with the ingredients in front of him.

Cai Wen glanced at the other end again, still a little unwilling to ask: "So what is it about her that you like?"

"nice?"

She has a delicate temperament and fair skin. Even with a bare face, her pair of charming peach blossom eyes are like the finishing touch that can easily catch people's attention.

Looks easy to bully, but not so easy to bully.

Like a rabbit, and also like a fox.

“It’s pretty good-looking.”

She objectively affirmed it, straightening her body confidently, tossing her hair and saying, "But I'm not bad, am I?"

Shi Shu finally looked up.

After giving her a look that said "Just stay aside if you have nothing to do," he continued to look for seasonings.

Cai Wen exclaimed, "Fuck!" and was a little relieved that she was rejected by this stinky straight man! With this kind of personality that can't say a word for a long time and doesn't answer anything you ask, if they really get together, he'll be pissed off to death sooner or later!

She hooked her finger in dissatisfaction and slavishly said, "Give me a bunch of prawns to try."

Shi Shu was a little unsure about the saltiness, so he handed her a bunch and asked her after she tasted it, "How is it?"

Cai Wen felt it and said, "It's a little bland, maybe add some cumin."

Shi Shu did as he was told and then handed over another string.

Cai Wen nodded: "Almost."

Shi Shu put the prawns on the grill onto the plate and picked out a skewer of grilled beef for her: "Here's this."

Cai Wen tasted it again: "Hmm, this is just right!"

Shi Shu was about to put the beef on the plate, but Cai Wen stopped him: "Give me another skewer."

He ignored her and just picked out another string of gluten for her: "Try this."

“…”

Cai Wen reacted: "Are you using me as a guinea pig? I'm giving you a taste test here?!"

Shi Shu didn't deny it: "Yeah."

After all, the group of people behind him could no longer trust his cooking skills, and there were not many specimens for him to refer to.

I feel like I'll be pissed to death if I stay any longer!

Cai Wen put aside her noodles and headed towards the more crowded end. She quickly pulled up a chair and sat down, then formally greeted him, "Teacher Su, right?"

He pointed to the back and said, "Is he the designer?"

Long before she entered the room, someone had already informed her of the situation inside.

"Um."

Su Tu nodded: "Hello."

He didn't look surprised.

After all, we have a good relationship.

"Where's the house?"

Cai Wen asked casually, and teased: "He has so many houses, isn't it enough for him to live in?"

Hearing this, Yan Tiankai remembered what he hadn't finished asking. He immediately said with an expression that said, "I know the answer to this question." He excitedly reported, "Intercontinental World!"

He shared a dormitory with Shi Shu in the team, and he had a bit of a hobby of eavesdropping, so he was well-informed: "About half a year ago, I heard Brother Shu talking on the phone with someone, saying he wanted to buy a house there, and he only wanted an unfinished one, and asked someone to go and do the work."

"Then a few days later, they sent a message saying that the houses there had already been sold out! And the people who could afford that kind of house had no shortage of money, so no one would list it for sale. So, let alone an unfinished house, there were no houses that had been decorated!"

"Then guess what Shuge replied?"

"What?"

"What?"

"Will you tell me or not?!"

"hey-hey."

Yan Tiankai kept everyone in suspense for a long time before he suddenly scowled and said, imitating Shi Shu's manner, "Then go grab it!"

"Depend on!"

“This is a bit scary!”

"So you snatched it later?"

"That should be it."

Yan Tiankai said: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked Sister Susu to design it."

Chang Yang was still a little confused: "So why did he have to buy a house there?"

Yan Tiankai scratched his head, feeling somewhat ashamed of not being well-informed: "I asked him, but he ignored me."

But he quickly glanced at Su Tu with a hint of meaning, and boldly guessed: "But now it seems that it is preparing to be a wedding house?"

The others immediately understood: "I'll go--"

"That's quite possible!"

"The captain is the type of person who, once he has an idea, will make every possible effort to prepare it! He's been planning for so long! It seems my future sister-in-law can't escape even if she wants to..."

Su Tu lowered his eyes and sorted out the timeline.

I started looking for houses about half a year ago, and after about three or four months I finally bought one. I immediately called the studio to commission the design, and as soon as the competition was over, I flew back for a meeting.

The planning took a full six months, and it was tight and cautious.

And the other party doesn't even know his motives.

That really is...

It's a bit scary.

But analyzing it from another angle, he attaches so much importance to this wedding house that he has put a lot of effort into the preparations alone, so it seems understandable that he spends more time on the design and the designer, right?

But even so.

If she doesn't clearly define the design requirements, she will still be unable to make anything without the necessary resources...

Just as she was thinking this, Cai Wen called her, "So, Teacher Su, how is the design going now?"

Su Tu raised his eyes and recalled the familiar conversation and actions between the two of them at the charcoal grill, as well as Yan Tiankai and Chang Yang's descriptions:

-I have a pretty good relationship with Shu Ge, and we even won a medley relay championship together one year.

-We have been teammates for many years and he takes good care of us.

-Even if there was something, it's all in the past...

A vague guess emerged in my mind.

There was something going on, but the relationship hasn't really broken the ice yet.

Is that why I can't say it directly?

She wasn't sure, and it wasn't convenient for her to point it out, so she just went along with what she was saying: "I wrote two drafts, but they were both rejected."

Cai Wen was shocked: "No? Two drafts?"

How could you have the heart to reject the plan designed by the original designer?

This straight man is beyond saving!

Su Tu nodded: "Yeah."

Cai Wen couldn't help but ask again: "Is it convenient for me to take a look?"

It was already a scrapped draft, but Su Tu didn't hesitate and directly took it out from his phone. He paid attention to her reaction and said, "That's it."

Cai Wen took the phone and scrolled through the PPT, but couldn't find anything wrong for a long time. "Isn't everything good? Could it be that that stinky straight guy is looking for trouble?"

Deliberately deny it?

Will we have the chance to continue meeting?

The tone is quite familiar.

At least she acted boldly when everyone was afraid of him.

"Maybe I don't like this style."

Su Tu didn't dwell on what had already happened. He just asked, "What style does Miss Cai like?"

"Me?" Cai Wen pointed at herself, unguarded. "The one that's popular lately, it's called medieval style, right? I quite like it."

Su Tu: "Middle Ages?"

Cai Wen: "Yeah, doesn't it have a very nice atmosphere?"

Su Tu took back his phone, flipped through the album again, and then picked out a set of wabi-sabi vintage clothes he had just made a while ago and handed it to her: "Take a look, is this one?"

Cai Wen took a quick look and was immediately amazed: "Yes! This is it!"

"And yours looks even better than the ones online!"

“…Is that so?”

Su Tu responded thoughtfully.

Medieval, also dark colors.

It can be matched with some green plants to create the softness and warmth of home.

She seemed to be sure of something.

Then he thought about it carefully and asked, "So, what do you like to do? If you had a house, what functions would you want to set up?"

Cai Wen didn't think much about it. Just like if someone talked to her about swimming, she would say a few more words appropriately. She replied naturally: "Hmm..."

"A gym should have one, as well as Chinese and Western kitchens and a bar! Even though I can't drink much because I wasn't allowed to drink as an athlete, it's really nice to have a bar at home!"

"Another plus is a large balcony, suitable for pets..."

Su Tu nodded and continued to ask: "Would you like that kind of super large living room that is so large that it seems a bit empty?"

"Of course!"

Cai Wen said: "With my height, the living room is too small to even turn around."

Su Tu: "Do you like going out?"

Cai Wen: "That's not bad. I'm quite lazy and I can stay at home for a month or so if I'm given food."

Su Tu: "What color do you like?"

Cai Wen: "Red or brown, like in the picture."

“…”

-The living room needs to be bigger because she likes to make trouble.

-She is a small-living animal.

-May like green, but don't like light very much.

-A darker tone would be more suitable.

All matched.

Su Tu began to feel fortunate to have come here today.

Maybe she will be able to come up with a plan after she goes back.

Cai Wen was asked so many questions, and after putting herself in her shoes, she became a little excited: "Teacher Su, do you want to help me with the design?"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely look for you when I buy a house!"

Su Tu smiled, thinking that maybe he didn't need to buy it, as someone had already made it for him, but he just said, "Okay."

And then asked some more specific preferences.

Cai Wen also answered seriously.

The two of them talked about the overall color tone and the style of the home furnishings before Shi Shu came over with a plate of barbecue.

He put it on the table and said, "Okay."

The others had already run away before he came.

Cai Wen was not polite at all. She picked a skewer of beef that she had praised and deliberately overturned her evaluation: "Tsk, it seems just so-so."

Shi Shu didn't care. He just looked at Su Tu who didn't move and asked, "Don't you want to try it?"

Su Tu glanced at the plate of barbecue that looked a bit uneven but was carefully and meticulously presented. He smiled lightly and said, "You guys eat. I'm not very hungry yet."

Then he stood up, showed the message he had just sent himself using his secondary account, and said goodbye: "Something happened at the studio, I have to go back first."

Shi Shu was stunned for a moment, and for some reason he had a bad feeling.

There is no reason to stop.

I could only take a step forward and say, "I'll take you there."

"No need."

Su Tu's eyebrows curved, but for no reason he seemed distant: "I didn't drink either, I can drive myself."
