72. Food and sex are human nature
Although Xiao Cheng gave her the key, he also told her that she could stay here overnight at any time...
But when Xu Wenqiang entered the house first and Xiao Cheng suddenly appeared at the door, Xu Wenqiang still felt like a thief.
"You're here?" Xu Wenqiang took two steps closer and asked in a high-pitched voice.
"Well, I just wanted to be alone and quiet, so I came here." Xiao Cheng walked into the kitchen carrying a bag of things and said casually, "Your mother didn't kick you out, did you? I saw her in the market today, talking and laughing."
The most likely reason why Xu Wenqiang appeared here was that she had a conflict with Xu Yanmei. But if not——
Xu Wenqiang mumbled, "My mother and I haven't had much of a quarrel recently." She didn't dare mention that she was actually there to take a shower in the hot water.
Xiao Cheng lowered his head and smiled secretly. But if it wasn't, then it could only be her own wish. As long as it was her own wish, then he would be satisfied.
"I moved the bed to the bedroom." Xiao Cheng said casually.
"Yes, I saw it." Xu Wenqiang said.
I don’t know why, but the words “bedroom” and “bed” suddenly became ambiguous.
"You can bring some things you may need in your daily life," said Xiao Cheng.
Xu Wenqiang hummed, her face starting to feel hot, thinking that this really seemed like she and him were living together.
"Actually, I don't come here often, just occasionally." Xiao Cheng continued.
Xu Wenqiang said "hmm" again, and her face became hot again. Xiao Cheng saw through everything she was thinking.
Seeing that Xu Wenqiang seemed to be shy, Xiao Cheng naturally did not want to let her go. After he had seen enough, he said, "Have you had dinner? I bought some food."
"No." Xu Wenqiang was still hesitant at first, but when she saw Xiao Cheng taking out bowls of noodles of various flavors, she immediately said in disgust, "Are you planning on eating instant noodles all the time?"
Xiao Cheng said, "It's convenient anyway, as long as there's hot water."
"One or two meals is fine, but you'll get sick of it if you eat too much." Xu Wenqiang said, looking around the empty kitchen. "How about we go buy some pots and pans, and some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and cook for ourselves?"
Xiao Cheng paused, turned around and looked at Xu Wenqiang, "I hear you sound like you want to stay with me forever and live together?"
Xu Wenqiang coughed twice and said, "I didn't mean that. You're overthinking it." He and she were just two high school students. What kind of vicious words were these?
Xiao Cheng took it seriously. "There's a supermarket nearby that sells both kitchenware and tableware. Do you want to go take a look?"
"Forget it," Xu Wenqiang said. She knew Xiao Cheng was joking about "living together," but she still regretted it.
"You're right. Instant noodles are more convenient. Let's eat them when you get tired of them." Xu Wenqiang said.
"But I'm tired of eating it." Xiao Cheng said, walking past Xu Wenqiang to put on his shoes.
Xu Wenqiang had no choice but to follow.
Maybe it’s because it’s the end of the year and it’s already dinner time, but the supermarket is still crowded.
Fortunately, the cookware section of the supermarket was relatively empty. Xiao Cheng and Xu Wenqiang decided to buy a wok, a steamer, and then some spatulas and spoons.
After getting the basic cookware, the two of them wandered over to a place selling tableware. Xiao Cheng immediately fell in love with a gift box set that came with everything from chopsticks and spoons to plates and bowls, saving him the trouble of choosing each one individually.
Xiao Cheng took it and was about to leave, but Xu Wenqiang stopped him.
"This gift box contains eight bowls, six plates, four soup bowls and one fish plate. But there are only two of us, so we don't need so many tableware. It's not cost-effective and a waste," said Xu Wenqiang.
"Just the two of us..." Xiao Cheng murmured again.
Xu Wenqiang was confused and quickly said, "There is also Gao Zhe. We can ask Gao Zhe to come along."
"Forget Gao Zhe. His parents will cook for him." Xiao Cheng said calmly as he put the gift box back. "If you don't buy this, what are you going to buy?"
"Four bowls, four plates, and a soup bowl will be enough for us," Xu Wenqiang said, searching the shelves for items she found at reasonable prices. The plates and bowls sold in supermarkets were beautifully designed and high-quality, but they were twice as expensive as those sold at the farmers' market. While you get what you pay for, Xu Wenqiang still wanted to find something good and affordable.
Xiao Cheng pushed the shopping cart and followed Xu Wenqiang slowly, watching her carefully picking out plates and bowls on the shelves that all looked the same to him. He had a smile on his face and felt peaceful in his heart.
"That's it." Xu Wenqiang looked at the tableware she had carefully selected in the shopping cart and was very satisfied.
Xiao Cheng was also very satisfied. He asked Xu Wenqiang, "Shall we cook our own food tonight?"
"You can cook it yourself, but it can only be the simplest," said Xu Wenqiang.
"For example, shredded potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes?" Xiao Cheng listed the names of the dishes.
Xu Wenqiang thought for a moment and said, "Forget about the shredded potatoes. They have to be peeled and cut. I'd rather just make some scrambled eggs and tomatoes."
"But for the two of us, it's still a bit simple to only eat one dish," said Xiao Cheng.
"It's a bit simple, but I'm too lazy to cook two dishes," said Xu Wenqiang.
"You do it?" Xiao Cheng was surprised. "Did I ask you to cook?"
"So, you're the one doing it?" Xu Wenqiang was surprised. "You want to cook?"
"I named the dish, so naturally I'll make it," Xiao Cheng said, pushing the shopping cart towards the tomatoes. "Besides, you've been busy at the market all day. It would be heartless of me to ask you to cook."
Xu Wenqiang followed and followed Xiao Cheng, clicking her tongue twice. "Look at you, you're both a housewife and a housewife. Xu Yanmei was right. When you become someone's son-in-law, that family will definitely burn incense and pray to the Buddha to thank the heavens and the earth."
Seeing that Xu Wenqiang was talking as if it had nothing to do with him, Xiao Cheng glanced at her and said, "Forget about burning incense and praying to Buddha. Just be affectionate with me."
Xu Wenqiang imagined a girl holding Xiao Cheng's arm, and the two of them looking at each other lovingly... She found that she couldn't bear to watch it.
Somewhat annoyed, Xu Wenqiang tried to clear the picture in her mind and said, "I'm going to buy potatoes," and then walked away.
A middle-aged couple was also picking tomatoes nearby. They overheard the two young people discussing marriage and couldn't help but take a second look. After Xu Wenqiang left, the wife of the couple said to Xiao Cheng earnestly, "Although students are not allowed to fall in love, I think that girl seems jealous."
"Auntie, do you mean, does she like me?" Xiao Cheng asked Xu Wenqiang not far away.
"I don't know about that!" The aunt and her husband smiled at each other, probably remembering some of their youth.
When checking out at the supermarket, Xu Wenqiang originally planned to split the bill with Xiao Cheng. However, Xiao Cheng said, "You can't take these things away, so there's no reason for you to pay." Xu Wenqiang felt bad, so she took out the ingredients, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from the shopping cart and paid for it herself.
Xiao Cheng knew that she had her own insistence on some things, so he let her go.
Back home, Xiao Cheng boiled some water and washed the dishes. Xu Wenqiang then heated the wok, smothering it with oil. Then she put the oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar in order.
Now that everything was in order, Xiao Cheng asked Xu Wenqiang to go and rest. Xu Wenqiang did not refuse and took the opportunity to take a hot bath.
When Xiao Cheng finished cooking and walked out of the kitchen, he happened to meet Xu Wenqiang coming out of the shower.
Xiao Cheng held a plate of shredded potatoes in his left hand and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in his right hand. He looked at Xu Wenqiang, who was wearing home clothes and drying her hair, and smelled the moist fragrance on her body, and his Adam's apple rolled.
Xiao Cheng silently said to himself, "Food and sex are human nature." He put the dishes on the table and said to Xu Wenqiang calmly, "Come and eat."
"Let me try your cooking." Xu Wenqiang put the towel on the back of the chair, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of shredded potatoes and put it in her mouth, and was immediately conquered by the crispy, sour and spicy shredded potatoes in her mouth.
Xu Wenqiang took another bite of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The soft eggs were covered with the sweet and sour tomato soup. It was obviously the simplest ingredient, but the taste in her mouth was definitely not a simple one.
"Xiao Cheng, your cooking skills are amazing." Xu Wenqiang was convinced and started to eat with relish.
Seeing that Xu Wenqiang's hair was still wet, Xiao Cheng was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he walked over, picked up a towel, and helped her wipe her hair.
When both of them realized that their behavior was too intimate, they stopped.
"Xiao Cheng, eat quickly, the food is getting cold." Xu Wenqiang said in a tight voice.
Xiao Cheng also cleared his throat and said, "Yeah, I'm hungry too."
After the meal, neither of them spoke much. When it came time to wash the dishes, the two argued again, and finally agreed that Xu Wenqiang would wash the dishes in the evening and Xiao Cheng would go buy breakfast in the morning.
After cleaning up the kitchen and washing up, Xiao Cheng and Xu Wenqiang returned to their rooms.
If she were at home, Xu Wenqiang would have studied for a while longer. But tonight, she had no desire to study. But then she thought, the exams were over, and it was time to relax for a bit... Lying on the soft, fragrant bed, Xu Wenqiang's mind became a mess, and she soon fell asleep.
Xiao Cheng in the other room had no desire to sleep at all.
He sat at his desk, looking at the dark night outside the window, thinking of Xu Wenqiang in the other room. His body and nerves were tirelessly excited.
Human joys and sorrows are not shared. On the same night, some people fall asleep peacefully, while others are destined to remain awake.
