Gu Juncheng: …
"I don't want your money. Go back and tear up that thing of yours."
"What is that?" Lin Qingping wrapped her clothes tightly, thinking of what happened just now, "Gu Juncheng, if this is what you did, then I tell you, if there is a next time like today, I will really sue you, you are breaking the law!"
He reignited the charcoal fire in a few seconds and smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, there won't be a next time." After that, he paused and said, "I was impulsive today. I once again solemnly apologize to you, Comrade Lin Qingping, I'm sorry."
As he spoke, he began to pick up the meat with tongs and put it on the iron rack to roast.
The aroma of barbecue wafted through the air again.
Lin Qingping looked at him in shock, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you leave?" Why are you grilling meat?
She looked at his hands that were skillfully turning the meat, and then looked at the things he had just brought in from outside, which turned out to be some dried fruits and fruits.
She pushed him, "You're not going to do that? You still want to eat dinner at my place?"
He carefully sprinkled chili powder and cumin powder on the meat, "I really haven't eaten anything tonight."
"Have some shame, Gu Juncheng!" Lin Qingping said excitedly, "What does it have to do with me that you didn't have dinner? You are such a scoundrel! I don't welcome you here!"
He put a piece of roasted meat on a plate, cut it into small pieces with scissors, and put it on her thighs. "You haven't eaten either, have you? Eat it. Eat something hot."
"Gu Juncheng! When did I ask you to help me grill meat?"
He continued to grill the next piece, "No. You didn't ask me to grill the meat, but today is your birthday, you can't go hungry."
Lin Qingping: ???
"It's my birthday, I'm hungry, it has nothing to do with you, I don't need you to barbecue for me!" Lin Qingping said solemnly, and was also distressed, "Gu Juncheng, wouldn't it be good for us to return to the state we were in when we met that morning? Familiar strangers, saying hello when we meet, calmly, isn't it good?"
He was sprinkling chili powder, and his hand shook, spilling a lot of it.
He quickly picked up the meat and sprinkled off the excess chili powder.
"Really, Gu Juncheng, isn't that a good thing?" she said.
"Okay." He put the meat back on the grill.
Lin Qingping didn't hear clearly whether his voice trembled when he said yes.
Maybe she heard it wrong, the night wind was a bit strong.
"Wait till I finish grilling the meat," he said. "I'll leave after I finish grilling the meat."
Lin Qingping: …
"Why are you so obsessed with barbecue? I don't need it!" she repeated again.
He flipped the noodles quickly and said, "You were having a good birthday, but I came and ruined your birthday party. You didn't have enough to eat."
So, it's to compensate her?
Lin Qingping sighed deeply, "Gu Juncheng, I'll say it again, really, I don't need you to compensate me for this birthday barbecue. For me, it's actually the best outcome for us to forget each other and meet in the future as strangers. At least for me, it's the most comfortable relationship."
Gu Juncheng fell silent again.
"Really, Gu Juncheng, I don't want to think about the quarrels or the entanglements anymore. I feel very tired. This semester is about to end, and we will graduate in a year. I have to think about what to do after graduation and start a new life. I really don't want to dwell on the past." Saying goodbye to the past, saying goodbye to the previous life, and rethinking the meaning of living a new life are what she has to do now.
Gu Juncheng kept his head down and kept grilling the meat.
Lin Qingping couldn't see his expression clearly and didn't know what he looked like now.
After a long time, the big piece of meat was finally roasted. Gu Juncheng cut it into small pieces and put it on her plate like last time. He looked up with a calm and clear look in his eyes. "In ancient times, even if someone was sentenced to death, they would have a meal before being executed. No matter what, people should not go away hungry."
Lin Qingping's head buzzed, and he subconsciously thought, "Why is he dead again?"
"Then let's call it a farewell dinner." In the darkness, there was no fluctuation or expression on his face. "I'll go cut some fruit."
She really likes to eat fruit when having barbecue, otherwise it is too dry, and she has already finished the plate that she cut earlier.
He cut up a plate of cantaloupe and watermelon and placed it on the small table, then went on to roast potatoes and corn.
Lin Qingping wanted to say something, but forget it, she was too lazy to say any more, so let it be a farewell dinner.
As it turned out, this guy was not just focused on having a farewell dinner, he was also thinking about doing ideological work!
"Lin Qingping, let's not quarrel anymore. I want to tell you something seriously." He said.
Lin Qingping bit a piece of watermelon and looked at him, "What?"
"I know you don't need me, but the person you need is not reliable," he said.
Lin Qingping: ? ? Who does she need?
After thinking about it, I understood!
"You mean Liang Jiaqi?"
"Well," he said, "this guy is not reliable and is not a down-to-earth person."
"I know. Didn't you just say that he won't come to celebrate my birthday with me and went to the movies with another girl?" Lin Qingping actually had some questions that he didn't understand.
"That's it? Is this some small matter?" His face changed again.
Lin Qingping swallowed the watermelon and rolled his eyes. "How dare you say that about him? How are you better than him?"
Gu Juncheng's face darkened and he shut up.
Lin Qingping snorted coldly and stopped discussing this topic. She said what she was curious about, "By the way, how did you catch him? What made you think of bringing him to my place to celebrate my birthday?"
She knew Gu Juncheng was a man who would not say a word even if beaten three times. "Since you said we were going to have a farewell dinner, then it's a confession. Speak to me nicely if you have something to say."
Gu Juncheng was silent for a while, then said, "My sister told me to come over because it was your birthday. I thought you were celebrating in the store, so I went to meet you in the store, and I saw that guy with a girl."
"And then you beat him up?"
"Um."
"And then? What do you think? Bring the people here?"
He looked at her and said confidently, "Shouldn't he come? It's your birthday and he's very important to you. How disappointed would you be if he didn't come?"
Lin Qingping: …
She was speechless at this logic, "Then isn't he cheating on me?"
"That's for the future. Today is a happy day."
"But do you think I'm happy?" Lin Qingping pointed to a few empty seats.
Gu Juncheng was stunned, and rarely showed guilt, "I'm sorry."
Lin Qingping sighed and was too lazy to speak anymore.
If she didn't say anything, Gu Juncheng, the taciturn man, would say nothing either. The yard fell into silence, with only the sizzling sound of barbecue.
"Lin Qingping." He suddenly called her.
"what?"
"Do you want to drink?"
Lin Qingping's mind was once again filled with countless questions: Drinking? She and him? Are they suitable?
"I want to have a drink," he said. "Farewell dinner."
