Holiday visit
In the morning, the sun and birdsong were bright and lively, and warmth shone into the room through the window. Wu Siqi woke up with a frown.
How could I fall asleep like this? Wu Siqi wanted to prop herself up, but found that her hands were numb and her shoulders were sore. There was a warm hand warmer in her arms, and the little black cat sheriff snuggled into her arms and fell asleep again.
She fell asleep without taking a shower, and her body felt sticky and uncomfortable, but she wanted to stay in bed for a while longer. She held the cat tightly, causing the kitten to whimper and wake up.
The kitten's eyes sparkled, and it raised its neck to rub her face, making a purring sound in its throat. Wu Siqi chuckled, feeling very happy. "Good boy, good morning, kitten."
The little black cat sheriff: "Meow, purr..." He put his cat face on Wu Siqi's shoulder, and his two little cat paws restlessly placed on her chest.
Wu Siqi was still lying there unconscious, her cell phone ringing, but she didn't care. Today was her day off and no one could disturb her.
Lying on the floor with her eyes closed, she thought of Yi Ning's eyes that had become wet with grievance last night. I didn't bully her, why did she do this? I was obviously the victim.
Wu Siqi is not really lazy, he is just too busy and tired recently.
Even though he was extremely tired, he still forced himself to suppress his fatigue and go out to eat.
He had clearly planned to arrange a dinner to express his gratitude at the weekend, but with those expectant eyes he said, "Then let's do it tomorrow night."
Holding the kitten's neck, Wu Siqi slowly sat up dejectedly, and pushed the hair that was blocking her face to the back of her head. She suddenly lifted the kitten's armpits, buried her head in her stomach and took a deep breath, experiencing what it meant to have a top-level lung.
The kitten was frightened and meowed. Wu Siqi was happy again and laughed out loud. She let go of her hand and touched the cat's head soothingly. She stood up and opened a can for the little black cat sheriff as compensation.
After washing up, making himself a clean breakfast, and tidying up the house which had not been cleaned for almost a month, Wu Siqi was willing to pick up his mobile phone to receive information from the world.
Most of them were work messages that did not require a reply, and the messages from Chen Yiming also fell into the category that did not require a reply. Although she often asked him for discounts, she could actually ask other former colleagues. It was just that it was more convenient to ask him, so he misunderstood her. She secretly made a decision - next time she encountered a stray child who needed to be treated for a serious illness, she would ask another former colleague.
She had to reply to Xu Tingting's message. In addition to the work report, the meeting yesterday also announced a personnel transfer. She was officially transferred to Group C. She was notified when she got to work today. She had been frantically sending messages to Wu Siqi all morning and had also called him.
But at that time Wu Siqi was mopping the floor, and her cell phone was right next to her, but she didn't answer it. Yes, she just didn't want to answer it. It was vacation time and she didn't answer work calls.
She replied to Xu Tingting's message: There is no way, I have to obey the company's arrangements.
Just like he treated everyone who showed kindness to him, he pushed her away harshly.
Now it was Yi Ning's turn. He sent her a message in the middle of the night, once again apologizing for his rude behavior and expressing his desire to make friends with her. Finally: Good night.
Wu Siqi: It’s okay, ok, sure, good afternoon.
I turned off my phone and cleaned the house, which was quite tiring. The slice of bread and glass of milk for breakfast were all gone. I opened the refrigerator and found only a lonely egg and a few wilted apples.
Want takeout? No, not today.
Wu Siqi changed into a casual suit and decided to go to the supermarket. She wanted to cook today.
She rarely stays in the community during the day on weekdays. There is not much else in the old city, but there are many elderly people. Many old men gather in the pavilion in the community to play chess, and several old ladies dance in the community basketball court with big red fans.
There is a large convenience supermarket at the entrance of the community. She often goes there to buy fruits. Wu Siqi took a small cart and pushed it slowly.
People who can go to the supermarket at this time are all quite old. The elderly are more careful in choosing ingredients and take their time to select, just to pick the best and most satisfactory one.
Wu Siqi followed them and picked some vegetables like them. She didn't know how to cook many dishes, just braised chicken wings, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and cold shredded chicken. She didn't know how to cook anything else except the whole chicken.
After selecting the ingredients, Wu Siqi walked to the snack area. She had finished her chocolate, which she had consumed rather quickly.
Apart from chocolate, she has no other childish hobbies.
That brand is usually placed at the bottom of the shelf because it has a low price and low profit. She squatted down to choose a flavor, and was hesitating between white chocolate and strawberry.
Someone squatted down beside her, bringing with them a faint fragrance. She said, "It smells like strawberry."
? ? !
Wu Siqi turned around in shock, and Yi Ning suddenly appeared in front of her and greeted her: "Xiao Wu, what a coincidence, don't you have to go to work today?"
"Yeah." Wu Siqi put the white chocolate back on the shelf, slowly stood up, and said in surprise: "It's a day off today, what a coincidence."
Yi Ning looked at her shopping cart again, "So that's what it is, Xiaowu, are you planning to cook at home?" His tone was normal, not affected by yesterday's unpleasantness at all.
Yesterday's incident was revealed by her, and Wu Siqi didn't think it was anything to get hung up on or angry about. She responded, "I don't feel like eating takeout since I have some free time. I didn't expect to run into you here."
Yi Ning said calmly, "We are here to collect folk songs and are staying temporarily nearby."
"I slept late and they didn't care about me, so I just came out to find something to eat. I didn't expect to run into you. Do you live nearby too?"
'You too', meaning that you just happened to meet him by chance, Wu Siqi nodded frankly, "Yes."
Yi Ning glanced at her shopping cart again and complimented her, "Xiao Wu must be a good cook. You bought so many ingredients. Are you planning a big meal for a party?"
"No, I'm not very good at cooking." Wu Siqi shook her head, her hand reaching for another brand of chocolate. "I'm ready to fail and then order takeout."
Yi Ning let out a long "ah" and then burst into laughter, "But you look like you can cook, are you kidding me?"
Wu Siqi put a box of dark chocolate into the shopping cart and spread his hands in frustration, "Hmm, I lied to you and there's no prize."
After picking out the things I wanted, I finally had the time to take a closer look at the person in front of me. She was wearing a grey top and a preppy-style long skirt. She looked very cute. She also put on some nice makeup today. Why did she dress so formally to go shopping in the supermarket?
She put her hands behind her back and staggered, "Xiaowu, you don't want to eat takeout, right? I'm a good cook. How about I cook for you as an apology for yesterday?"
Stop it, it's right on the tip of your tongue. Just refuse it, you're such a deadbeat.
Wu Siqi pondered in silence.
Yi Ning added: "I'm very good at cooking crayfish. It's really too good to eat crayfish at this time, isn't it, Xiaowu~"
Crayfish…want to eat it, Wu Siqi gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay."
She pushed the shopping cart without giving Yi Ning any expression. The people standing there were stunned. What was going on?
Feeling that no one was catching up, Wu Siqi turned around and asked with his head tilted, "Aren't we eating crayfish?"
Yi Ning swallowed the prepared words and ran over with a smile on his face. "Yeah, I just saw a lot of aunties holding crayfish. Fat and delicious crayfish. I'm here."
How silly! Yi Nian was running in front, but Wu Siqi was still pushing the cart slowly. As he walked, he put the tomatoes and chicken wings he had just picked back on the shelf, humming a few unknown tunes softly.
Yi Ning looked young, but he knew much more about life than Wu Siqi. He was experienced and knowledgeable in picking crayfish, garlic, and seasonings. She pushed the cart and followed behind her, watching her chatting with the aunt next to her about the size of the garlic.
The scene was weird and harmonious. When Wu Siqi checked out and went home, he couldn't compete with Yi Ning, the woman with extraordinary strength, and walked out of the supermarket empty-handed.
After bringing Yi Ning into the elevator and pressing the button for the sixth floor, Wu Siqi felt a little regretful the next second. He had only known her for a few days and had only met her a few times, yet he was already taking her home?
The feeling of regret continued until she used the key to unlock the security door, raised her hand to push the door open, and then thought, since I'm here, should I just chase them away?
She hung the key on the hook in the cabinet and took out a pair of guest slippers from the shoe cabinet for Yi Ning, "You wear these." She also put on the pair of slippers that she rarely wore.
"Okay~" Yi Ning held the things in both hands, stepped on her right foot with her left foot to take off her small leather shoes, and put on her black slippers. "Can we put the things here first?" She walked in and pointed at the dining table and asked.
Wu Siqi took off her coat first, revealing a slim-fitting high-necked black sweater underneath. She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to snatch the shopping bag from Yi Ning's left hand. "Take it into the kitchen. I'll help you."
Yi Ning seemed to have eyes on his back. Before her hand could reach him, he raised his left hand and turned back to wink at her, saying playfully, "It's very heavy. I'll just take it in."
She reluctantly withdrew her empty hand and walked towards the kitchen together. Yi Ning poured five pounds of crayfish into the sink and asked Wu Siqi, "Does Xiaowu have a new toothbrush?"
"Toothbrush?" Wu Siqi asked, "Do you want to brush your teeth before meals?"
Yi Ning picked up a crayfish by the waist and waved it in front of her. "Crayfish are very dirty. You have to clean them before eating them. I now believe that you, Xiaowu, really don't know how to cook."
"Huh?" Wu Siqi ignored her last teasing, "It'll take a long time to wash them one by one."
Throwing the crayfish back into the pond, she nodded, "Yeah, so you have to be faster, toothbrush." She reached out to Wu Siqi.
"Wait a minute." Wu Siqi walked out of the kitchen. The cabinet in the entrance hall was used to store these sundries. She walked back with two toothbrushes. She suddenly remembered, hey, where is the cat.
Handing the toothbrush to Yi Ning first, Wu Siqi decided to look for the cat first. It was a bit abnormal that the little follower was not sticking to people today.
Looking around, Wu Siqi found it was not in the living room. He walked into the room and saw it sleeping on the windowsill. He scolded it with a smile: "Lazy cat."
How could she really let the guests cook in the kitchen by themselves? After confirming this, she quickly went back into the kitchen.
Because long sleeves would get wet easily due to contact with water, Yi Ning rolled up her sleeves to her elbows and brushed the crayfish with her back to Wu Siqi. She picked up another toothbrush placed aside and moved closer.
He picked up a crayfish and imitated her method of scrubbing it. Staring at her movements, Wu Siqi noticed a long scar on the inside of her left forearm. The edge looked like it had been struck by lightning and there were traces of stitches.
The glaring scar looked like an ugly centipede on her fair skin. Wu Siqi asked with concern, "Is your hand injured? How about I clean it and you go deal with other things. It's best not to touch water."
Yi Ning raised his head and followed her gaze to look at his forearm. "It's okay, it's almost healed, it just looks scary."
"It looks so serious, how did it happen?"
Cleaning crayfish was too boring. Wu Siqi just wanted to use this topic to pass the time and didn't particularly care.
Speaking of which, he was still a little angry. Yi Ning sneered, "I was bitten by a dog."
Wu Siqi: "Dog? Bitten like this?"
Wu Siqi seriously suspected that this person was teasing her. As a top student majoring in veterinary medicine who received scholarships every year, she should bow her head to the ground and apologize to the sky if she couldn't even identify animal bite marks.
"Yeah, dog." Yi Ning chirped in his heart, God is an old dog.
Wu Siqi: "Okay, then you have had the rabies vaccine, right?"
She shook her head: "No, the dog must have had an injection."
"Oh~" Wu Siqi smiled, and accidentally got her index finger pinched by the crayfish's claws. "Tear!" In pain, she threw the crayfish onto the marble table.
