Chapter 296 Sweet Talk?
Yan Chengyu said, "It's alright, this is a good opportunity for you to try my cooking."
"Need not……"
"I want you to try my cooking." Yan Chengyu looked at her. "Give me a chance?"
Qu Jianhang laughed and said, "Are you really going to do it? Let me make it clear first, I don't know how to do anything."
"You don't need to do it," Yan Chengyu laughed. "You can just watch from the side."
"Okay." Qu Jianhang walked towards the kitchen: "Let's see what ingredients Auntie has prepared."
“Either is fine,” Yan Chengyu said. “I know a lot of things, and even if I don’t, I can just look it up online.”
"Thank you for your hard work."
The two went into the kitchen.
The aunt had prepared a wide variety of ingredients, and Yan Chengyu took a look and started cooking.
Qu Jianhang really couldn't do anything, so he just watched from the sidelines.
The man was tall and composed, wearing a gray apron and his shirt rolled up to his forearms. A low-key, unassuming watch occasionally gleamed in his hand.
His movements were methodical, and he looked very serious as he chopped vegetables.
It looked as if he was holding a document instead of a kitchen knife.
It's pleasing to the eye, like a painting.
As Qu Jianhang leaned against the door frame, he suddenly realized that this man was truly reliable.
Yan Chengyu was indeed very skilled at it. There were too many ingredients, so in the end he only made three dishes and a soup.
Finally, Qu Jianhang did one thing: he scooped the rice out of the rice cooker and took it out.
The two sat facing each other.
Qu Jianhang said, "Wait a minute, I'll get a bottle of red wine. Can you drink it?"
Yan Chengyu did not drink alcohol during work hours, and at that time there was already a ban on alcohol, so drinking was not allowed on workdays.
"Drinking a little is fine."
Qu Jianhang brought over the wine, let it breathe for a while, and poured him a glass: "Just drink it, you should have let it breathe earlier."
"Very good wine." Yan Chengyu clinked glasses with her. "I hope we have a pleasant evening."
The two ate and chatted, and had many topics to discuss.
Before I knew it, I had drunk more than half of a bottle of wine.
"Want some more?" Qu Jianhang asked. "Are you sure you'll be okay at work tomorrow?"
"I might... not be able to drink anymore," Yan Chengyu said. "I'll drink more with you sometime this weekend."
"Where to drink? A bar?" Qu Jianhang asked. "Can you go to a bar?"
"I... wear a mask?" Yan Chengyu smiled. "You want to go to a bar?"
"Not exactly," Qu Jianhang asked. "Then is it still at my house?"
"Okay, I'll cook."
"I brought you here, not to be a chef."
"I would gladly cook for you."
"Should I be flattered?" Qu Jianhang tilted his head to look at him.
"No need." Yan Chengyu looked at her as well: "Then you invited me to your home, shouldn't I be flattered?"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony?"
"Can I come here often in the future?"
"Director Yan, you really know how to take advantage of a situation. Did I tell you to come here more often?"
"I feel that once is enough, twice is inevitable. Since I was able to come the first time, won't there be a second, a third time...?"
"You're so shameless."
"If I can catch up with Jian Hang, I'll be shameless enough."
"Yan Chengyu".
Yan Chengyu looked at her: "What's wrong?"
How long have you been pursuing me?
Yan Chengyu said, "If we start from that meeting, it's been almost a year."
"You've been pursuing him for so long, and you haven't even held my hand. Director Yan, do you have any thoughts on this?"
"If I haven't won you over, it's normal not to hold your hand. It just means I haven't tried hard enough."
"You won't have any other thoughts?"
"For example?" Yan Chengyu asked.
Qu Jianhang didn't answer, but just smiled and asked, "What are your plans after dinner?"
"Anything is fine," Yan Chengyu said. "What do you want to do?"
"Want to go for a walk?" Qu Jianhang said, "Let's go for a stroll."
"OK."
After the two finished eating, Yan Chengyu was about to wash the dishes.
Qu Jianhang tugged at him: "This isn't your job."
"It's fine."
"Then you swipe the card, I'm going for a walk."
"That won't do." Yan Chengyu immediately put down what he was holding: "I'm not going to do it."
Qu Jianhang looked at him with a smile: "So lacking in principle."
"Yes, you are my stance."
The two went downstairs and were in the elevator, about an arm's length apart.
After exiting the elevator and walking in the residential area, they heard the sound of a bicycle bell behind them. Yan Chengyu gently put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Be careful."
He only lowered his hand after protecting the person inside.
In this way, the two people were much closer together.
While walking, your fingers may accidentally touch each other.
Qu Jianhang looked down, and Yan Chengyu followed her gaze downwards.
Seemingly sensing something, Yan Chengyu didn't say anything and put his hands in his pockets.
Qu Jianhang looked up at him again: "Yan Chengyu, aren't you going to take the initiative at a time like this?"
“I…” Yan Chengyu glanced at her, then quickly looked away: “It would be presumptuous of me.”
"At this rate, when will you ever be able to win someone's heart?"
"I'm pursuing you, but I won't have any physical contact with you without your consent."
"How do you know I won't agree if you didn't even ask?"
Yan Chengyu was taken aback.
Qu Jianhang continued to look at him, a slight smile on his lips.
Yan Chengyu's Adam's apple bobbed, and he slowly took his hand out of his pocket.
He seemed a little uncomfortable, his eyes looking away before quickly returning to meet Qu Jianhang's gaze.
He raised his hand, palm up, and asked, "Is that alright?"
Qu Jianhang lowered his head.
His hands were large and his fingers were long and slender; they were very beautiful.
Without hesitation, Qu Jianhang placed her fingertips into his palm.
The gentle touch felt like it carried a tiny electric current, causing Yan Chengyu to stiffen involuntarily.
"Shall we go?"
Qu Jianhang asked him.
The next second, Yan Chengyu closed his fingers and enveloped her hand.
The two continued walking forward, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder.
The previous distance has disappeared.
Are you hot?
Qu Jianhang asked him.
Yan Chengyu's Adam's apple bobbed again, and he hummed in response.
"My palms were sweating."
"I'm a little nervous," Yan Chengyu said honestly.
Qu Jianhang said, "It's just holding hands, what's there to be nervous about? Besides, it's not like you haven't held a girl's hand before."
"I have held girls' hands before," he said. "But I have never held the hand of a girl I liked."
"You're so good at sweet talk."
"Is that considered sweet talk?" Yan Chengyu said, "I don't think so."
Why doesn't it count?
“Because I’m telling the truth,” Yan Chengyu said. “It’s not sweet talk or flattery.”
"Okay, got it." Qu Jianhang raised their hands and shook them: "Are you happy?"
"I'm happy." Yan Chengyu's expression was somewhat unnatural, with a hint of shyness: "I'm really happy."
"So, how about doing something more fun?"
"What?"
"you guess."
Yan Chengyu had no idea.
Qu Jianhang said, "Come home with me?"
