Chapter 251 Apron
It was Jiang Xilin who was having a birthday today, but he was cooking while Shen Congyu was sitting and waiting for him.
It made her feel uncomfortable and she sat on the sofa and observed unconsciously.
Except for the last time when Jiang Xilin was sick, she came to his place once and never saw anything clearly. This time she had the time to take a closer look.
It's very simple. Compared to the house in Jinghu, this place can only be regarded as a place to stay.
Although Jiang Xilin was not picky about these things, he was used to living in his original house after all. There was nothing here except the most basic daily necessities and clothes, and he could stay here all day long.
At first, Shen Congyu thought that he must have been doing this on a whim, and that he would leave when he found that living here was inconvenient for his life and work. Unexpectedly, he has been living here until now.
Chen Congyu was so bored that she couldn't sit still anymore, so she got up and went to the kitchen to find Jiang Xilin.
He was wearing an apron, cooking seriously with his back to the door, and did not hear Shen Congyu coming.
Chen Congyu hadn't figured out what to talk about with Jiang Xilin, as the two of them were obviously the most familiar with each other.
After thinking about it, Shen Congyu cleared her throat and made a sound. When Jiang Xilin looked at her sideways, she said, "Is there anything you need me to do? Let me help you."
"No, if you feel bored, you don't have to sit outside and wait. You can go back and I'll call you when I'm ready."
This made Chen Congyu feel even more guilty.
She insisted on going forward, looking at the things on the counter, and explaining her behavior:
"Today is your birthday, how can I wait for you to eat while you cook? Even if you don't want me to help you, I will stay here."
Jiang Xilin finished what he was doing, wiped his palms dry, and turned around to look at Chen Congyu.
He was wearing a black shirt today, which was covered by an apron. Shen Congyu noticed that his buttons were buttoned very low. She didn't know if he hadn't noticed, but it was open all the way to the position covered by the apron.
The dark color makes the skin look whiter and the muscle lines can be vaguely seen, making people unconsciously want to guess where the buttons are buttoned.
As Shen Congyu was thinking this, he suddenly realized what he was thinking and reacted abruptly.
When he raised his eyes, he met Jiang Xilin's gaze.
He hadn't said anything yet, but Shen Congyu's ears were burning.
She tried to explain herself, "Well, your apron is nice...better than mine. Where did you buy it..."
Later on, she said that she lacked confidence, and this reason was quite far-fetched.
But Jiang Xilin didn't seem to hear it.
He said seriously, "I'll bring you one tomorrow."
Chen Congyu nodded hurriedly.
She changed the subject, "Why don't you join Ruirui and the others today? Even if you don't want to go to the evening, there's still daytime. There are more people around, isn't that good?"
"This has been the arrangement for the past few years. They should understand if it's one less time this year." Jiang Xilin paused and added, "After all, the situation is different now."
Chen Congyu turned away, "Are you serious?"
Jiang Xilin was always serious every time. He didn’t want to explain his motives to Shen Congyu anymore. He just said, “If it weren’t for what happened before, I wouldn’t want to waste a single day.”
Shen Congyu regretted coming in to find him.
She pointed behind him and said, "You should check the heat first."
Jiang Xilin felt a little helpless, but still did as he was told.
Compared to the way Chen Congyu occasionally saw him some time ago, he must have dressed up specially today. Even though he was cooking in the kitchen at this moment, it did not conceal his temperament at all, but instead added to the feeling of a mature man.
From the time she knew him until now, from college to when she was about to turn thirty, Chen Congyu had gone through two different stages, each with its own special features.
He has become much stronger and more mature, and his charm has developed in a different direction.
Chen Congyu really couldn't say anything against his will.
