Chapter 826 He must have sworn in his heart
Recalling the National Day in 2010, Lu Yuanqiu remembered that he spent it with Bai Qingxia in the amusement park. He also remembered the question Bai Qingxia asked him on the Ferris wheel.
"Lu Yuanqiu, will you always be here?"
It's quite strange. During the National Day this year, they were all busy in the company's workshop. They were so busy that they even forgot to eat several times, but Lu Yuanqiu still remembered this sentence in his busy schedule.
In the locker room, he took off his sterile suit, opened the bottle of mineral water and took a sip. After drinking, he turned his head to look at Bai Qingxia, who had also just taken off his sterile suit and was cooling off under the air conditioner.
"Anytime."
Lu Yuanqiu suddenly said four words, without any explanation, and just looked at her with a smile.
The girl turned her head and looked over. The air conditioner blew her hair up and down. She stared at Lu Yuanqiu for a moment, her eyes thoughtful. The next moment, she looked at Lu Yuanqiu again and couldn't help smiling.
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and turned his head back. Bai Qingxia's memory was indeed reassuring. He tilted his head back and took another sip of mineral water. Bai Qingxia lowered her head a little shyly, holding her legs still wrapped in the white sterile suit with her arms.
She looked at the tips of her shoes, which were put together, and silently recalled the past three years in her mind.
What I remember most clearly are all the little details of my time with Lu Yuanqiu.
The air conditioner above his head was still blowing. Suddenly, Lu Yuanqiu put down the mineral water bottle and raised his eyes slightly.
"It's the temperature." He looked straight ahead and spoke.
Bai Qingxia: "Hmm?"
Lu Yuanqiu turned to look at her. "The air conditioner in the workshop has been on all the time, and the temperature is too low. You may not realize that every time you made sauce before, you were basically in a relatively hot and enclosed space. I think the temperature may be the reason why the sauce I made these days has always been a little off."
“It doesn’t have to be extremely hot, but it must not be cold.”
Bai Qingxia probably didn't even realize it herself. She only knew how she made that taste. She mastered the most correct steps, but ignored the objective reasons brought about by environmental factors.
Lu Yuanqiu: "Do you think what I said is likely?"
"If I have to say, the taste of the sauces I make in different seasons is indeed different. Ordinary people can't taste it, but I can." Bai Qingxia responded carefully.
Lu Yuanqiu: "Which season produces the best taste?"
Bai Qingxia thought for a moment and responded, "Xia."
Lu Yuanqiu laughed.
"Good Xia Xia."
He drank the mineral water beside him, walked to Bai Qingxia and kissed her on the lips. Bai Qingxia's cute eyes followed his movements and looked at Lu Yuanqiu walking to the door.
Lu Yuanqiu: "I'll go talk to someone and have them remelt these machines and add a temperature control device."
In fact, no matter how bad the taste of the sauce made these days is, it is still better than the original "White Rhino Classic". But now it is in the testing stage, and Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia both believe that things should be done to the extreme, at least to the extent that Bai Qingxia himself cannot find any flaws.
Currently, Baixi and Lu are both waiting for Xia Yiwan Noodles to be officially launched, so they are under a lot of pressure.
…
"Didn't he go back home for National Day?"
"Yes, he didn't go home this time. You haven't spoken to each other for a week? Is that true? I haven't heard Cao Shuang mention this."
"Really? I don't reply to messages or answer calls."
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"You and Sister Xia are busy... and this matter is my fault. I am too embarrassed to say it."
"Don't say that. I actually know a little bit about it. It's not your fault."
"Brother Qiu, do you know? Did Brother Shuang tell you?! What else did Brother Shuang tell you?"
"I just mentioned this, but you should also understand Cao Shuang's character. He is working hard to make himself better. The more he cares about you, the higher he will demand of himself."
"I know Shuang likes me."
"What about you?"
"I like him too...it's the love between a man and a woman."
Lu Yuanqiu was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone.
"Yueyue, you should tell him."
"I'm at the entrance of the Polytechnic Institute right now. I'm going to find him and tell him, otherwise I'll continue to feel bad."
"If he doesn't go back home for National Day, he should be in the store. Go quickly."
"Got it, Brother Qiu, I'll hang up first."
"Um."
In the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, Lu Yuanqiu put down his cell phone. Today was October 5th, and they were on their way to the engagement party. He had just received a call from Ruan Yueru five minutes ago.
"These two are finally taking this step." Lu Yuanqiu breathed a sigh of relief towards Bai Qingxia. He then found Cao Shuang's chat interface and said, "I'll tell Cao Shuang that he's been waiting for this moment for a long time."
Bai Qingxia looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
At Zhucheng Institute of Technology, Ruan Yueru followed the route she took last time and went straight to Xia Yiwan Noodles' shop. After seeing the sign with the four words from afar, she took a deep breath and ran into the shop.
It was not yet noon, and it was a holiday, so there were no customers in the store. Ruan Yueru glanced around the store and did not see Cao Shuang, but there was a mop next to the counter and a dirty water bucket next to the mop. The mop was now oozing water on the floor, as if it had just been thrown there.
In the car, Bai Qingxia said to Lu Yuanqiu, "Cao Shuang probably won't meet Ruan Yueru."
Lu Yuanqiu looked at her: "Why?"
Bai Qingxia lowered her head: "I understand Cao Shuang's feelings. They are not the only ones who know they like each other but cannot be together openly."
Lu Yuanqiu silently put down his phone.
In the store, Ruan Yueru touched the broom next to the counter and looked towards the kitchen.
The door over there is closed.
She yelled, "Brother Shuang, I know you are here!"
Ruan Yueru was overwhelmed with emotion when she heard this cry. She wiped her tears and cried, "I'm sorry. I was too stupid, too foolish, and too stubborn before. I didn't know what love was, and I didn't understand your love..."
Inside the door, Cao Shuang sat on the ground. He listened carefully to the sounds outside, tears flowing silently from the corners of his eyes.
Ruan Yueru: "Now I know, I like you too!"
"Can you please not listen to what my parents say! You like me, I like you, what does it have to do with them?!"
Ruan Yueru shouted with all her might.
Cao Shuang remained stubbornly motionless, his eyes fixed on the dark kitchen. A tear slid down the tip of his nose, lingered there for a moment, and then fell on his old, paint-chipped shoes with a click.
Cao Shuang raised his hand to wipe his nose, sniffed lightly, blinked his moist eyes, and kept his ear pressed against the door, listening attentively to the movement outside.
…
"Ruan Yueru doesn't care, but Cao Shuang does. His love is too self-deprecating and too serious. He will definitely make himself worthy of Ruan Yueru. He must have made such a vow in his heart, but I also believe that he will definitely do it."
Bai Qingxia sat in her seat and muttered softly, then looked at Lu Yuanqiu.
