Chapter 109 I Like You
The advantage of height is now reflected.
Even though Zhao Yeqing thought he moved very quickly, Mu Xi still caught a glimpse of him when he was two steps away from him.
His eyes are like stars lit up in the dark night.
The girl blushed, guessing that he probably didn't see it, so she lowered her head and tried to find a topic to divert his attention.
Mu Xi squatted down, and she was caught off guard and met his eyes, which seemed to contain countless words that she would not say...
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Xi squatted down and was shorter than she was when she was sitting. He raised his head and looked at her, his neck tilted back and his Adam's apple was slightly squeezed, so his voice was not as usual.
It has a magnetic voice and sounds like someone is speaking right into your ear.
'boom'....
She felt like smoke was coming out of her head and her brain was so hot that it made her dizzy.
What are you thinking about? She is not thinking about anything!
It may be because I tilted my neck back to speak, which made my Adam's apple feel uncomfortable. After I finished speaking, I swallowed subconsciously, causing my Adam's apple to roll up and down.
From her perspective, she could just look down through Mu Xi's collar and see the clear outlines inside...
Just like the first time she saw the tip of the iceberg in the small pond, she subconsciously reached out to push him away and retreat.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, it was suddenly held by a large and warm palm.
Mu Xi frowned, a little annoyed that he might have scared her. He pursed his lips and said nothing more.
Zhao Yeqing came to her senses and realized that she had overreacted. If Mu Xi hadn't grabbed her hand, she would have leaned back and fallen down with the stool.
She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the other person, but saw a trace of self-blame between Mu Xi's eyebrows.
Zhao Yeqing seemed to be enlightened at once. She seemed to understand something about Mu Xi's awkwardness and unusual behavior.
In an instant, it seemed as if some emotion changed in her heart.
She looked at the person in front of her and suddenly spoke.
"Mu Xi, do you like me?"
His frown suddenly relaxed and his eyes widened in disbelief.
The sudden question made him feel a little at a loss for words.
But Zhao Yeqing's face was full of confusion and seriousness, and he looked at him without blinking.
"I like you."
After admitting it, Mu Xi pursed his lips and stared at her face, not wanting to miss any of her expressions.
He didn't know what he should do if Zhao Yeqing showed embarrassment or disgust on his face.
Zhao Yeqing blinked and blushed a little, "When did it start?"
Mu Xi answered every question without hesitation, "Senior year."
Mu Xi was in her third year of high school, which meant she was in her first year of high school, when she was sixteen years old.
She felt as if she had eaten something big, and her original embarrassment disappeared in an instant.
"Nine years ago! How come I didn't know about this?"
Mu Xi's expression suddenly became complicated. "I originally thought that if I didn't speak up, you might never know it in your life."
Zhao Yeqing knew that he was a little slow in this regard, so he quickly turned the tables.
"Who told you not to tell me earlier? You kept it to yourself for so many years."
"Originally I felt like I had nothing, so I thought I would come back to you when I got better. Things have slowly improved over the past two years, and I planned to get my career back this year. But then a series of things happened, and after I found you, I felt like I still had a lot of time, and I didn't want to scare you."
At this point, Zhao Yeqing understood that he was afraid that she would resist because of her original family situation.
Zhao Yeqing's face showed some sudden realization. Mu Xi knew that she had guessed part of it, and then spoke again,
"It's not entirely like that. I thought if I spoke up, you wouldn't like me, but you can't avoid facing me in the current situation. I can't just abandon you out of fear of embarrassing you."
He exhaled, with a cautious look on his face, "I'm afraid too, you agreed to me because you felt embarrassed."
Will it?
Zhao Yeqing carefully considered his emotions and wondered if he agreed to his request out of fear of embarrassment.
But as soon as this thought came to her mind, she blushed.
She seemed to have chosen to agree to him subconsciously.
After an unknown amount of time of questioning and answering, Zhao Yeqing found that he had never let go of her hand from beginning to end.
The original warmth has now turned scalding hot.
Huhu and Xuebing returned home early, which was rare. When they entered the house and saw the two humans facing each other, they didn't say a word.
He tilted his head and meowed.
Mu Xi didn't even look at him, but just stared into Zhao Yeqing's eyes, his tightly pursed lips revealing the uneasiness he was hiding.
Zhao Yeqing turned her head away, her face still flushed, and pulled her hand out of the man's.
Before the eyes on the other side darkened, she was heard saying to the two little leopards,
"Where have you been? You are so dirty. Go find your uncle Mu Xi to give you a bath."
After saying that, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked out with slightly hurried steps.
The man behind him couldn't help but chuckled. The warmth in his right hand had not yet faded, so he held onto that warmth and used his left hand to grab the two little leopards' heads.
"After I finish cooking for your mother, uncle will give you a bath."
Mu Xi walked out of the house, but didn't see the girl outside or in the kitchen.
He went into the kitchen and started cooking dinner for today.
Zhao Yeqing said he wanted to eat smoked fish a few days ago, but since he was busy and didn’t go to the lake again, he never got to eat it.
Today, after mowing the grass, he ran to the lake and brought back two fish, both of which were naked carp. It seemed that the weather had improved recently, and the few he caught were about to spawn.
He released all the ones that were about to lay eggs, but he didn't expect that when he opened the stomach of the two left, he found eggs inside one of them.
Mu Xi took out all the fish offal from the fish's belly and put it in the bowl.
The fish body is washed and chopped into pieces, then marinated with soy sauce, rice wine, rock sugar, five-spice powder... and various seasonings.
The fish pieces needed to be marinated for a while, so he chose to clean the fish offal.
The fishy smell of fish offal is difficult to remove, so he plans to make it spicy to cover up the smell.
Put the fish offal into the hot oil in a pan, add ginger slices and garlic sprouts and fry until slightly browned, then add a little chili sauce and stir-fry until the oil turns red.
Zhao Yeqing particularly likes spicy and fragrant dishes. It may be because the temperature has been high for a long time before and he didn’t dare to eat too much, which leads to him craving for it every day now.
Fry until the garlic leaves are slightly browned, then serve the dish.
While the fish is being marinated, you also need to make a pot of marinade first.
Bring spices and soy sauce to a boil with water, then simmer for twenty minutes before turning off the heat and letting it cool.
The fish has been marinated at this time. Put the marinated fish into the boiling oil pan and fry it until it becomes golden and crispy. Turn up the heat and fry it again before taking it out.
Because it has been deep-fried and marinated with sugar and soy sauce, the fish pieces have turned into a deep brown color, which looks very appetizing.
Mu Xi put most of the fried fish pieces into the marinade to soak.
The rest is for a rainy day.
