Tipsy Crayfish
Yi Ning dropped the toothbrush and scissors and anxiously held her hand. "Did you get pinched? Does it hurt? Let me see if there's any bleeding."
Regardless of the other party's intention to pull back her hand, he lowered his head and pulled her hand to see if she was hurt. Seeing that it was just redness and no skin was broken, he returned control of his hand to Wu Siqi.
Wu Siqi withdrew her hand, raised her eyebrows and shook her head. She found the other party's excessive nervousness very interesting. She blew on her red fingertips, picked up the toothbrush without saying a word and prepared to continue working.
With a whoosh, Yi Ning snatched the toothbrush away. "You're not allowed to help me anymore."
"How can you be like this? The two of you should handle it quickly." Wu Siqi was about to take back the toothbrush, but couldn't pull it out. Yi Ning held the toothbrush handle tightly, and the corners of his mouth that were always upturned now shrank, showing great unwillingness.
Unable to resist the stubborn gaze, Wu Siqi let go and said, "I won't argue with you. Please, I'm almost starving."
"Hehe." Yining smiled proudly, "Got it." He turned back and continued to process the crayfish.
Perhaps because he was really hungry, Wu Siqi opened the package of the newly bought chocolate and fed himself one.
Guests are welcome, and Wu Siqi also remembered that Yi Ning said in the supermarket that she slept late and came out to find food, so she took two chocolates back to the kitchen.
She shook the package, making a sound of plastic friction. "You must be hungry too, right? Want to eat?"
This is the strawberry flavor she asked her to choose.
Yi Ning took a look and said, "Eat!"
Wu Siqi: "Okay."
Wu Siqi looked down at her dirty hands. Her hands were much faster than her brain. She tore open the package and handed it to the man's mouth. Through the package, Yi Ning took her chocolate away.
Wu Siqi, what are you doing?
She threw the wrapping paper into the trash can without changing her expression. Wu Siqi had no intention of letting the customer stay alone in the kitchen to cook for her. She prepared the side dishes, peeled potatoes, and cut potatoes.
Yi Ning: "Xiao Wu, have you given your kitten away for adoption?"
Wu Siqi: "No, I'm sleeping in my room."
Yi Ning: "Oh, so good. I've seen some domestic cats before. They will bark and bite people as soon as strangers come to the house."
Wu Siqi: "It's quite well behaved."
Yi Ning: "Why don't you keep him for yourself if he's so well behaved? Your house doesn't look like you're renting."
Wu Siqi: "I'm too busy with work and can't take care of it." A perfect answer, she has used this answer to deal with countless people.
Yi Ning was also persuaded, "Okay." Xiao Wu was indeed very busy.
The cooking process was much faster than expected. While they were chatting casually, a big pot of crayfish was ready and some stir-fried vegetables were also prepared.
When Yi Ning brought the colorful, fragrant and delicious crayfish to the dining table, Wu Siqi had already laid out a disposable tablecloth and placed the tableware outside the kitchen.
At this time, Wu Siqi looked up at the clock. It was already past two o'clock. He didn't know whether to call this meal lunch or afternoon tea.
Her house faces south, and above the dining table is an extended window to the balcony. Her mother particularly likes gorgeous decorations. The window grilles in the house are those old-fashioned carved glass. The sunlight shines in, and beautiful patterns are reflected on the dining table. This used to be her mother's favorite lunchtime.
The slowly ticking clock, the hot meals brought out from the kitchen, and more than just a pair of chopsticks on the dining table, they are secretly lively in the cold and fast-paced life.
While cooking, Yi Ning asked Wu Siqi to leave the kitchen for fear that the fumes would bother her, but she was not idle. She did not like drinking, but if she did not have a couple of drinks while eating crayfish, she would feel a little sorry for the five-spice crayfish that had been scrubbed clean in the pot.
She cut some freshly bought strawberries and lemons, mixed a pot of brightly colored fruit wine in a beautiful glass pot, and also wiped two beautiful small wine glasses.
Taking some time off, Wu Siqi went into the room and took another look at the little black cat Sheriff. It was sleeping motionless, oblivious to the world. It was so lazy!
Yi Ning took a tissue to wipe the water stains on his hands and sat down opposite Wu Siqi. "Wow, Xiao Wu, you can also mix cocktails. This color is so beautiful, and it can be layered."
Wu Siqi took out the tablet, put it aside, and adjusted the angle so that both of them could see it. "Don't praise me yet. I made it by following the online tutorial. I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if it tastes good."
She poured half a cup into her own cup and half a cup into Wu Siqi's cup, "It tastes good when it's good."
She tilted her head back and drank it in one gulp, then exclaimed in satisfaction, "It's so delicious!"
He took a sip along with her and it was indeed quite good. Wu Siqi chuckled and opened his tablet. "I'm currently watching a debate variety show. Do you want to watch it together? Or is there anything else you'd like to watch?"
Yi Ning: "Roundtable debate? I'm watching that too. Just watch this."
Clicking on the latest episode of the show, today's debate topic is whether lying down is right or wrong in a society where struggle is meaningless, and the contestants' opinions are flying around the room.
Wu Siqi didn't listen carefully, and was fully focused on peeling the shrimps. These were much more delicious than those sold in the store. Yi Ning carefully deveined each one.
Wu Siqi: "It's delicious. You are really good at cooking."
Yi Ning: "Of course, do you hire a nanny? A five-star chef will serve you."
Wu Siqi tilted his head and smiled, "I can't afford Teacher Yi Ning's salary. I heard you even turned down a music festival that offered 500,000 yuan. I'm just a commoner, and it hurts to ask me to pay more than 500 yuan."
Pausing to peel shrimp, Yi Ning thought back to that music festival. "Well, it's not that I look down on them, it's just that we simply couldn't spare the time. At the time, the four of us were all busy with other things in different places, so we had no time to spare."
Yi Ning: "Xiao Hei has regretted this for a long time and has been nagging about it."
"Five hundred thousand, five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand of my money, my money." She imitated Fan Yu's expression and tone in her memory.
Her funny look made Wu Siqi laugh, "Hahaha," seeing her happy, Yi Ning acted even more funny, making Wu Siqi laugh out loud.
Wu Siqi's face turns red when she drinks. At this moment, she is smiling like a flower, and her rosy cheeks make her look particularly lively, inadvertently revealing a side of her that others don't know.
After laughing enough, Wu Siqi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, stop making me laugh. The crayfish are getting cold."
Yi Ning raised the wine glass and held it in front of Wu Siqi, his face full of anticipation, inviting her to toast.
Taking off his gloves, Wu Siqi filled his wine glass to 70% full. He then casually picked up the glass with two fingers, making a crisp sound of glass colliding. He said, "Cheers," and brought the glass to his lips.
The base liquor she mixed was not strong in alcohol. Although both of them felt a little drunk, it was not intoxicating. The alcohol added some ambiguity to the warm atmosphere.
This room hasn't been this lively for a long time.
The heat from the alcohol made Wu Siqi squint her eyes. Half the pot of wine was empty, and she was already tipsy. Wu Siqi blocked the cup with her hand to prevent Yi Ning from adding more wine. "I can't drink anymore. You drink it."
Yi Ning didn't insist and put the pot down. "I didn't expect Xiao Wu to have such a low alcohol tolerance. Seeing that you have so much wine at home, I thought Xiao Wu was a good drinker."
Wu Siqi burped, not sure if it was from a full stomach or alcohol. She took off her greasy gloves, held her chin with one hand, her head felt a little heavy, and her cold voice was soft and sticky because she was slightly tipsy.
Wu Siqi: "These are all wines left by my father. He likes collecting them. He doesn't like drinking but he likes collecting wine." She looked at the exquisite solid wood wine cabinet next to the dining table.
Yi Ning continued to fight with the crayfish. As she ate, she said, "I see. It's better not to drink alcohol. Drink less. Drinking is bad for your health, hehe."
Wu Siqi smiled softly, blinking slowly, her long eyelashes fluttering. Under the influence of alcohol, she became more talkative: "Your face turns red when you drink."
Hearing this, Yi Ning raised her eyebrows and touched her face with her elbow. It was hot. "I haven't drunk in a long time. Maybe it's a little bit. It will be fine in a while." She raised a nonchalant smile and looked back at Wu Siqi. "Ah, Xiaowu, your face is so red."
"My face flushed from drinking." Wu Siqi covered his eyes with his other hand and scolded her, "Don't look at me. It's not pretty."
"Oh, okay." Yi Ning lowered her head obediently. She peeled a crayfish, looked up, took a look, and then lowered her head again. "It looks good. Xiaowu, you are very beautiful."
Wu Siqi: "I know." She was not modest either. She knew that her appearance had advantages, so she praised him: "You are beautiful too."
The person being praised lowered his head and smiled secretly, saying softly, "Thank you."
The shark clip was not stable, and the loose hair fell on her neck, which was uncomfortable. Wu Siqi pushed it back several times but was still very annoyed by the loose hair. She got angry, took off the shark clip, let her long hair fall, and tucked the hair behind her ears, and supported her chin lazily, looking very elegant.
Yi Ning stared at her in a daze, and only came back to his senses when Wu Siqi glared at him: "Hey, Xiao Wu, are you full after eating so little?"
"Well, I have a small appetite." Wu Siqi turned down the volume of the variety show. They were a bit noisy. Normally, it didn't bother me when I was eating alone, but now they seemed a bit too noisy.
She peeled another shrimp and put it into her mouth. Yi Nian ate in a very good manner. Wu Siqi looked at her with his chin on his hand, and even felt a little pleased. She was very well behaved, and most of the shrimps on the plate went into her stomach.
She took off her gloves and sighed comfortably, "I haven't enjoyed a meal so much in a long time. I don't want to eat canned food anymore." Yesterday's steak was not enough to fill her teeth.
Canned food? Wu Siqi was puzzled: "You are such a good cook, why do you still eat canned food?"
Oh no, eating cat cans at Wu Siqi's place every day has made her brain dull. She laughed and said, "Canned food is convenient. Cooking is a hassle."
Wu Siqi understood that cooking was really troublesome, and asked, "How long will you stay there collecting folk songs?"
As if being asked about the key point, Yi Ning's expression changed slightly: "According to the plan, we were actually going to Mongolia last week, but some unexpected events happened recently, so we may have to stay for a while."
"Yeah." Wu Siqi murmured, "Mongolia, it's so far away." Then she said, "Let me know when you leave, and I'll see you off."
Yi Ning didn't want to leave the city at all. He hummed sullenly and prayed in his heart that the little ghost would be obedient and hide a little longer, longer.
