So as soon as Shen Yiyue reached the kitchen door, she ran over and opened it.
It turned out to be Ji Mengyao and Wu Di outside the door.
Ji Mengyao surprisingly didn't wear a baseball cap today, probably because she was going to have dinner, but she still had two golden braids.
She was wearing a white tank top and light blue shorts, looking youthful and lively.
Wu Di actually stopped wearing his unchanging suit and instead changed into a set of refreshing and casual clothes, and put on a pair of glasses with rose gold frames.
The whole person looks gentle and youthful, but unfortunately, he has a poker face.
It makes people think of the gloomy academic master who buries himself in doing exercises all day long.
"Cha la~~"
Ji Mengyao cutely made a Y sign with her hands and greeted Shen Qianqian at the door and Shen Yiyue at the kitchen door.
"You guys take a seat first, we are still getting ready!"
Shen Yiyue greeted them first, then turned around and went in to work with Ning Yu.
"Hello, brother and sister!"
Shen Qianqian also greeted the two of them obediently.
"Are you a couple? They look so well-matched."
She blinked her innocent eyes and looked at the man and woman who had just come in from the door. One was pretty and cute, and the other was handsome, although his face looked a little dull.
The two people seem to be familiar and close.
"Love, love, love. Couple?"
Ji Mengyao had just brought in her private stash of fine wine and soft drinks when she was suddenly attacked by Shen Qianqian.
Her face suddenly turned red and she began to stutter.
As soon as Shen Qianqian saw Ji Mengyao's reaction, she realized that she might have said something wrong.
"Ah! It's okay! Please come in~~"
He hurriedly started searching, handed slippers to the two of them, and acted as if nothing had happened.
Ji Mengyao glanced at Wu Di, who also had an innocent look on his face and didn't react.
"Hey, you're blocking my way."
She poked Wu Di in embarrassment and urged him to put on his slippers and go in.
"Hold it for me!"
He stuffed the plastic bag of wine in his hand into Wu Di's hand and followed him in.
Wu Di quickly walked over and began to place the various types of wine he had brought on the dining table.
His movements were measured and mechanical, like a bartender.
Just as Ji Mengyao said at the time, what they brought were sparkling wine drinks with very low alcohol content but very good appearance.
The colorful ones look very pretty when placed on the dining table.
Shen Qianqian was immediately attracted by the colorful "drinks" on the dining table and shouted towards the kitchen: "Sister!! Can I drink those?"
"No! Children are not allowed to drink."
Shen Yiyue's ruthless rejection came from the kitchen, and Shen Qianqian's happy expression just now collapsed.
"Can I help you?"
Ji Mengyao looked at the two people busy in the kitchen curiously and asked.
"No need~ How can we ask guests for help?"
Ning Yu was wearing an apron and marinating meat. She turned around and smiled at her.
"OK~"
"Well, I thought the chef would be Shen Yiyue, but it turned out to be Xiaoyu."
She nodded when she heard that, and muttered something under her breath as she walked out.
When Shen Yiyue heard this, she could only smile awkwardly, and then looked at Ning Yu who was still concentrating on preparing the ingredients.
She walked over and considerately helped Ning Yu to push a few strands of hair over her ears to prevent them from falling and hitting the food.
Then he stood beside her and asked in a low voice:
"Xiaoyu, can you teach me how to cook in the future?"
Ning Yu suddenly heard her strange request and turned to look at her: "Sure, why are you saying this suddenly?"
"I won't tell you!"
When Shen Yiyue heard Ning Yu's agreement, she stopped bothering her and turned around with a smile and continued to help with the preparations.
The table was already filled with a variety of dishes, including appetizers, simple vegetarian dishes, and several main dishes.
The color, appearance and aroma are impeccable and they are perfectly arranged in a circle on the table.
The five of them sat around the dining table and prepared to eat. Except for Shen Qianqian, who had orange juice in her glass, the other four had glasses of wine that Ji Mengyao brought over.
Ning Yu's glass contained light red wine, which she specially selected with strawberry passion fruit flavor.
"cheers!"
Except for Wu Di, the other four people had smiles on their faces and they clinked their glasses together.
The scene before our eyes seemed not to be the end of the world at all, but a peaceful and beautiful daily life, with people visiting friends' houses for parties.
"Mmm!! Delicious!!!"
Ji Mengyao had just picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth when she couldn't help but open her eyes and exclaimed.
"I didn't expect Xiaoyu's cooking is so delicious! Whoever marries her will be super happy~"
She couldn't help but sigh.
Faced with such straightforward compliments, Ning Yu could only smile shyly, not knowing what to say.
She had never sat down to eat with a group of close friends like this.
Everyone clinked glasses, chatted about gossip, and spent a wonderful and lively night.
For a moment, she seemed to be in some kind of trance.
Could it be that she could have lived like an ordinary person? This kind of happiness was so far away that she had never even imagined it, but now it was happening right before her eyes.
Ning Yu suddenly felt a sense of surreality: Could it be that everything happening before her eyes was just a dream?
When I wake up tomorrow, will I still be hiding in the cold apartment, waiting for the organization's next order? If this is true, did I dream of Shen Yiyue, Ji Mengyao and others, or did they dream of me?
Will this dream end one day?
"Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu?"
Shen Yiyue, who was sitting next to Ning Yu, suddenly saw that her little silver-haired girl had fallen into a trance.
She also picked up a piece of braised pork for Ning Yu, put it in her bowl, and picked up some vegetables for her.
Then he waved his hand in front of Ning Yu's eyes, trying to wake her up.
"Sister, you are biased! Why do you only give it to Sister Ning Yu and not to me? Am I still your sister?"
Next to her, Shen Qianqian was drinking orange juice angrily and complaining to her sister who was busy picking up food for Ning Yu.
Shen Yiyue turned her head and glanced at Shen Qianqian: "Didn't I tell you that you have been temporarily expelled from the sister group?"
Ji Mengyao was also whispering something to Wu Di, seemingly blaming him for something: "Look at Xiaoyu, and then look at yourself, you only know how to cook instant noodles for me! And you always put too much seasoning!"
Ning Yu suddenly woke up from her daze and looked at everything warm in front of her: several people were joking with each other, and the warm light on the dining table filled the apartment with the scent of fireworks as night fell.
She quickly ate the food that Shen Yiyue had just picked up from the bowl, and then picked up some for Shen Yiyue as well.
Shen Yiyue looked at Ning Yu with some surprise, as if she didn't recognize her.
Only Ning Yu knew that the daily life before her was precious to her even for a moment.
If this is really a dream.
