More than ten minutes later, Qi Xingzhou pushed open the half-open solid wooden door carrying a large bag of fruit.
Jiang Ning was busy in the kitchen. She left the door half-open on purpose to prevent Qi Xingzhou from standing outside waiting when he arrived.
"You don't need to change your shoes when you come to my house, just come in." Jiang Ning heard the noise and looked out. Seeing Qi Xingzhou standing stupidly at the entrance, she smiled and said, "You've come just in time. The noodles will be ready soon. Bring the fruit in and wash it."
Qi Xingzhou carried his things into the house and closed the door.
Seeing the bag full of fruits, Jiang Ning was surprised: "You bought so much?"
Qi Xingzhou, who was standing behind her, blushed and looked around guiltily.
He just went to the fruit store and went straight to the fresh-keeping area where strawberries were kept. The proprietress of the fruit store was very warm and welcoming. When she saw such a handsome young man coming to buy fruit and eagerly running towards the strawberries, she immediately smiled and said, "Young man? Are you buying fruit for your girlfriend? Our strawberries just arrived today, they are big and sweet! Definitely delicious!"
"In addition to strawberries, there are also blueberries, cherries, yellow peaches, dragon fruit...all arrived today, so they are super fresh!"
"...And the golden passion fruit also arrived today. Girls especially like to drink it in water. It's good for beauty and skin. You can take a look at it."
Before meeting Jiang Ning, Qi Xingzhou often automatically ignored and blocked out the voices from the outside world, as if there was a thin film that made him immersed in his own world and complacent.
Until recently, Qi Xingzhou inexplicably felt that the sense of alienation between him and the outside world was gradually disappearing. His personal world was gradually moving closer to the outside world, and he could hear and understand more voices and knowledge more and more.
And all these changes happened after meeting Jiang Ning.
These days, even when communicating with Qi Chen, Qi Xingzhou would deliberately pretend that he didn't understand what the other party said, but he couldn't help but listen to the boss lady's words, and before he could react, he had already picked up several different kinds of fruits in his hands...
Seeing how he listened to advice and was so generous, the lady boss smiled so hard that her eyes almost narrowed into slits. When Qi Xingzhou left, she said, "Come on, young man! You will definitely succeed!"
He is so tall! So handsome! And so generous! What a good boy! The lady boss was very satisfied.
When Qi Xingzhou heard her words, his cheeks turned slightly red, and the heat on his face gradually dissipated until he got into the elevator.
Now, after hearing Jiang Ning's words, the enthusiasm that had just subsided seemed to be coming back again.
Fortunately, Jiang Ning was just asking casually, and thought that Qi Xingzhou thought that one box of strawberries was too little, so he bought more. She soaked the strawberries and cherries she was going to eat in water.
The steaming beef noodles came out of the pot quickly. Jiang Ning asked Qi Xingzhou to take them out. She also cleaned the chopping board and knife that she had just used.
The two of them quickly sat down at the dining table, with a bowl of beef noodles, a plate of washed fruit, and a plate of braised food with ginger and lemon. The last dish was said to be specially sent by her neighbor, and Qi Xingzhou took a few more glances at it.
In his impression, his meals were rarely so simple and monotonous. The Qi family of four cooked exquisite and rich meals for breakfast and dinner. Even if Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen worked overtime at the company and did not come home for dinner, the meals served to Qi Xingzhou by the housekeeper were still nutritious and had both meat and vegetables. Even if they ate noodles, there would be several side dishes with different flavors.
The meals Jiang Ning prepared were simple, which made him like them.
Qi Xingzhou sat obediently in his seat, waiting for Jiang Ning to sit down together. Then he picked up the chopsticks, picked up the bowl of noodles that Jiang Ning had made himself, and took a bite.
The rule of not talking while eating or sleeping probably depends on the occasion. You don't need to pay attention to this when eating with your peers.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but chat with Qi Xingzhou while eating.
Jiang Ning had been at Huo's company for the past few days, staying there all day. Before she knew it, she and Qi Xingzhou hadn't seen each other for several days.
Jiang Ning reached out and took a strawberry to eat. "What have you been doing these days? Have you been at home all the time?"
"No, I haven't been home all the time." Qi Xingzhou shook his head and couldn't help but tell Jiang Ning that he was taking the driving test: "I have been practicing hard these days. After I get my driver's license, we can go out together to catch bad guys. I can help you drive."
"Are you taking the driving test?" The sweet taste of strawberries still lingered in her mouth, and Jiang Ning's tone was inevitably a little incredulous.
She knew that Qi Xingzhou did not have a driver's license.
Qi Xingzhou had been staying at home before, refusing to communicate with the outside world. He seldom went out on his own and had a special car to pick him up, so a driver's license was not a necessity for him.
Of course, the main reason is Qi Xingzhou’s lack of emotion and communication barriers with outsiders.
Getting a driver's license is just like studying as a child, you have to spend money to learn knowledge. The difference is that you go to school to study, but if you want to learn to drive, you have to go to a corresponding driving training company for professional knowledge training.
This knowledge training is divided into two parts, half theory and half practical.
Theoretical knowledge is not a big deal, you can find the question bank on your mobile phone and practice questions. Anyway, the test questions are all drawn from the question bank, so just practice these questions until you are familiar with them.
The practical part is relatively troublesome. You have to sit in the training car, learn from the instructor, and then practice more on your own.
Jiang Ning signed up for a driver's license when she was a sophomore. The driving training company was located in the university where she studied, so it was very convenient for her to practice driving. She passed all the subjects in one go, and it took nearly two months from registration to getting the driver's license.
When practicing driving, communication between students and coaches is essential. For ordinary people, these are normal communications, but for Qi Xingzhou, it seems a bit difficult. Jiang Ning rarely hears Qi Xingzhou communicating with others.
Qi Xingzhou didn't care about Jiang Ning's half-believing tone. He took out his mobile phone and showed Jiang Ning his progress in getting the certificate: "Look, I have finished the first subject."
Jiang Ning saw the screen of the phone light up and could tell at a glance that the page was the official app page of the traffic police.
The page clearly showed Qi Xingzhou's name, as well as his score for Subject 1: 100. Jiang Ning's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed: "Great! When did you sign up?"
She didn't know anything! Qi Xingzhou hid his smile in his eyes, and even tried his best to suppress the corners of his lips, wanting to show his calm side in front of Jiang Ning.
However, as soon as he spoke, his slightly raised tone still revealed his inner joy: "I asked my eldest brother to contact the driving training school some time ago, and he quickly took me to register for the physical examination. I took the test for Subject 1 the morning after I came back from Wangjiang District."
Jiang Ning encouraged him: "Come on! When you get your driver's license, I'll treat you to a meal! Today's meal doesn't count. I didn't know you got 100 points in the first test, otherwise you wouldn't be so perfunctory."
Qi Xingzhou nodded, then shook his head, looked down at the empty bowl in front of him, and said seriously: "The beef noodles are delicious."
Jiang Ning followed his gaze and discovered that he not only finished the noodles, but also drank up all the noodle soup.
Qi Xingzhou was still replying to what Jiang Ning had just said: "When I get my driver's license, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Sure!" Jiang Ning didn't care much about who was inviting whom. Instead, she was a little concerned about the meal in front of her: "Are you not full?"
Because Qi Xingzhou said he was hungry when he sent a message just now, Jiang Ning had deliberately grabbed a little more noodles when he ordered them, but now it seems that it is still not enough? "I'm full." Qi Xingzhou looked at the empty bowl in front of him and praised shyly and bluntly: "The noodles are delicious, and the soup is delicious. Ningning, can I come next time?"
"Of course!" Jiang Ning was afraid that he was not full, so she pushed the fruit and stewed food to him, "Try it, I just had some and it tasted good."
Qi Xingzhou: "Okay."
After dinner, Qi Xingzhou felt so happy staying at Jiang Ning's place that he didn't want to leave.
Seeing Jiang Ning clearing the dishes, he immediately picked up his own leftover dishes and went into the kitchen.
Seeing Jiang Ning washing the pots and dishes, he also walked around and rolled up his sleeves, eager to try.
Even if Jiang Ning saw that there were only two or three dishes and did not need his help, he would imitate Jiang Ning's movements in washing dishes, pick up the dishes that Jiang Ning had just washed, put them in the water for a second rinse, and then use a clean towel to carefully wipe off the water droplets on the surface of the dishes.
Seeing Jiang Ning wiping the stove, he sorted out the kitchen utensils beside him and adjusted the positions of the seasoning bottles one by one, even placing the labels in the same direction...
The movements were a little unfamiliar, but he performed them quite well.
In the small kitchen space, he was like a big tail, following Jiang Ning around busily.
…
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, several topics related to Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou once again topped the trending search rankings.
#Wangjiang Police responded to the incident in which a doctor at the Third People's Hospital forged medical records and her husband used a loophole on a fundraising platform to charge high fees...
#a City Police notified the Maternal and Child Health Hospital: All suspects have been arrested and brought to justice, with the maximum sentence expected to be thirty years!
#Ocean Fundraising Manager Huang pleaded guilty, 16 people were involved in illegal donation fraud and other activities...
[Finally I waited for the official reply!] [I am not surprised by the first two hot searches, but the third one... my goodness, so this ocean fundraising is actually rotten from the root? ? ? !] [Damn it! I donate 30 yuan to the ocean fundraising every month, but I paid it by mistake. Damn it, I live frugally and don’t even want to reward myself with my salary. I was cruel enough to do charity and want to help those who are more miserable and pitiful than me. In the end, my little help fell into the hands of capitalists! Suddenly I was extremely disappointed with this society and felt cold.] [Oh my god! No wonder Cen Yufang is so brave! It turns out that she has so many backers behind her!] [A small director of a maternal and child health care hospital, tsk, the evil forces are about to infiltrate the province.] [Fortunately, they were all discovered. Malignant tumor! All malignant tumors! ! ! ] (End of this chapter)
