Subconsciously, he blurted out: "Crazy girl, why are you here?"
It is worth mentioning that in just one day, the term "crazy girl" became popular in Guangya's group chat and became a synonym for Shen Qingling.
She snatched someone else's boyfriend in public, provoked the group in class, and finally became someone else's elder sister's apprentice. Isn't this a crazy girl?
Shen Qingling waved the dish in his hand and said, "As your upstairs neighbor, I just moved in and wanted to have a meal with you."
Upstairs neighbor?
Gu Ximan didn’t have time to think about this, but looked at Luo Shuning in disbelief. What she wanted to express was easy to understand - Sister Ning, why did you bring this crazy girl back?
Luo Shuning just smiled and led Shen Qingling into the house.
Luo Shuling chewed some potato chips, smiled carelessly, and waved, "Welcome, Qingling."
Luo Shuhe just glanced at her indifferently without saying anything, but he didn't chase her out either.
Apparently, the three sisters all understood clearly that they couldn't confront this crazy girl head-on, and they didn't have time to mess with her at this stage.
Seeing this, Gu Ximan looked a little disheveled, and so did Ren Lei, who was following at the end.
How could the relationship between these people be so harmonious?
It's so weird.
Your circle... is so chaotic.
...... .......
The night drifted in through the windows of the Luo family's apartment. The warm light from the living room poured into the kitchen through the sliding door, giving the off-white cabinets a faint halo.
Luo Shuning walked in with vegetables, took out the bags of greens, tomatoes and shrimps one by one, and put them into the ceramic basin next to the stainless steel sink.
The water "gurgled" into the basin, splashing tiny drops of water. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender wrists. Her fingertips just touched the leaves when she heard:
"I'll help."
As a guest, Shen Qingling's voice did not contain the slightest bit of embarrassment. He walked straight to the other side of the sink and glanced at the ingredients in the basin. Although he had never touched kitchen utensils before, he thought it should not be difficult.
She reached out and picked up a vegetable, pinched the root with her fingertips, turned her head to look at Luo Shuning, and said directly:
"What should I be careful about when washing this? Should I just rinse it?"
Luo Shuning was bending over to peel shrimp. Hearing this, he looked up and smiled, his fingertips stained with some crystal shrimp shell debris. "First, break the leaves apart. Mud tends to hide in the gaps between the leaves. Rub them a few times more when rinsing."
As she spoke, she picked up the carrots beside her. The kitchen knife was particularly obedient in her hand, and the "thump, thump, thump" sound of cutting the vegetables was even and light. The slices were evenly sized and made a light sound when they fell on the porcelain plate.
Shen Qingling did as she said and broke the green leaves apart one by one. The water flowed down along the grain of the leaves. With quick movements, she rinsed the green vegetables clean in a short while.
It was just that she hadn't controlled the force when shaking the water out, and a few drops of water splashed onto her clothes. She glanced down, but didn't care. Instead, she raised her chin and looked at Luo Shuning's knife skills: "The way you cut vegetables here is as steady as the fingering when playing the violin."
“You’ll become familiar with it if you cook it more often.”
Luo Shuning pushed the carrot slices aside and picked up the tomato. "If you want to learn, I can teach you how to hold a knife next time. It's a bit like holding a violin bow, with the strength in your wrist."
"Tuo."
Shen Qingling responded readily without stopping his hands. He quickly washed the entire basin of vegetables and put them in the drain basket.
She watched Luo Shuning methodically prepare the ingredients, her eyes filled with pure admiration, and even her tone softened a bit: "I used to think cooking was a hassle, but I didn't expect it to be quite interesting to watch."
In the living room outside the kitchen, Gu Ximan and Ren Lei each held a cup of yogurt, with the straw inserted in the box, but they hardly moved.
Gu Ximan leaned against the door panel, her cheeks puffed up, her eyes fixed on the kitchen door, the corners of her mouth slightly curled:
"Look at her, what's wrong with her? She was still bragging about wanting to snatch Gu Luo away from school during the day."
Ren Lei bit her straw, her tone filled with dissatisfaction: "Who knows what she's up to? She's pretending so falsely. Maybe she wants to get Ning Bao and get close to Gu Luo this way."
Having said that, her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the kitchen - Shen Qingling was holding the peeler handed to her by Luo Shuning, trying to peel potatoes. Her movements were clumsy, and she didn't get angry when she broke a piece. Instead, she immediately adjusted her posture.
The sounds of water and cooking continued in the kitchen. Warm light enveloped the two figures, and even the air was filled with the sweet smell of fresh vegetables.
Shen Qingling finished peeling a potato and handed it to Luo Shuning, his tone carrying a subtle hint of anticipation: "Look at this? Didn't you peel too much meat?"
Luo Shuning took the potato, looked at it, and nodded with a smile: "It's amazing that you can peel it like this for the first time. It's much better than my first time."
Shen Qingling's eyes lit up, and without saying anything, he turned around and picked up another potato - he was so proud, as if he had won a small victory, that he even held the peeler in his hand more firmly.
Gu Ximan and Ren Lei in the living room watched this scene without saying anything, but they sucked the yogurt a little slower, and their eyes became more complicated.
What does Shen Qingling mean by this?
Normal people simply cannot understand this guy's actions.
Just then, Ren Lei suddenly asked tentatively, "Xiao Man...what do you think about what's going on between Shu Ning and Shu He?"
...... ......
