It was a bit cool at night and it started to rain.
The light is warm yellow.
There were a few bowls on the stove in the kitchen, a fire was on the stove, and a casserole was placed on it, with steam bubbling up from the lid.
The entire kitchen was covered with white steam, making it hazy. Only about one meter below was clearly visible.
Gu Qingchi sat on a short stool in front of the stove. He was even lower than the stove when he sat there. He was also wearing a small blanket. When he wrapped himself up, the stove completely covered him.
From the outside, you can't even see the top of your head.
He was standing right in front of a burning stove. The fire reflected on his face, and a layer of red covered his porcelain-white face, as if he had applied a layer of rouge.
Xie Luyu stood beside Gu Qingchi, slightly bent over, half of his body hidden in the steam, and was wrapping the lid of the casserole with a towel. When he opened it, gurgling sounds came out along with the aroma.
Even the sound of rain outside was drowned out.
Lotus root and pig's trotter soup. The pig's trotter is already cooked and blooming, and the lotus root and various ingredients are crowded together. The bubbling soup is clear and not greasy. It can be seen that the person who made the soup is very experienced and handled the ingredients very well.
Xie Luyu now took the spoon and was tasting the food.
Steam lingered around him. Xie Luyu stood sideways. There was a unique line carved on the side of his shaved head, from wide to narrow, running through it as sharp as a knife, looking very inhuman.
But now he is wearing a Peppa Pig apron, holding the casserole lid in one hand and the soup spoon in the other, concentrating on tasting the food.
If this picture of him were to spread, it would definitely become a hot topic, and no tabloid would dare to write about it.
Are you kidding? That’s Xie Luyu.
He has been very successful since the day he entered the entertainment industry. Until now, the three words "Xie Luyu" carry a sense of arrogance and coolness.
The domineering and cool Brother Xie smacked his lips and said with satisfaction.
"Almost."
Gu Qingchi was sitting on a small stool at his feet, covered with a small blanket.
The small kitchen was warmed by the fire.
This kind of atmosphere gradually calmed Gu Qingchi down. He felt at ease and gradually got out of his chaotic emotional state.
The constant stomach pain no longer made him irritable.
He put on that layer of cover again, isolating himself from those negative emotions.
The fire in the stove was burning brightly, and the occasional crackling sound from the burning wood. As Gu Qingchi watched, he began to stretch and take a nap.
The soup was almost done. Xie Luyu put the soup spoon and the remaining soup into the small bowl next to him. He took another long spoon, scooped up the soup, and handed the warm small porcelain bowl to Gu Qingchi.
"Take it first, warm your hands, and you can drink it when it cools down a bit."
The small porcelain bowl is very thick. When the freshly boiled soup is put into it, you can only feel the warmth through the wall of the bowl.
Gu Qingchi held the small bowl in both hands, waiting attentively for the soup to cool down.
Although the bowl was not big, it cooled down slowly. Seeing that he was waiting seriously, Xie Luyu found a small porcelain spoon and put it in the bowl for him.
"Use this."
Gu Qingchi started drinking it bit by bit. The hot soup went into his stomach and relieved the pain almost immediately.
Xie Luyu stood aside, watching and worrying about everything.
"Eat something, don't just drink soup. You didn't eat anything during the day? You got up in the middle of the night to look for chocolate."
Gu Qingchi paused, and hesitantly touched the piece of bone that Xie Luyu had served him with his spoon. Finally, he found a peanut from the side, ate it, and refused to touch it again as if he had completed a task.
Xie Luyu groaned, and got exactly what Gu Qingchi meant.
"You think it's inconvenient to chew bones? You're still young, it's not like your teeth are bad..."
While Xie Luyu was muttering, he took a small bowl and began to use tools to break the meat into small pieces, and then put it back into the casserole.
The second time he served soup to Gu Qingchi, he changed the bowl and filled it with half a bowl of soup and half a bowl of meat.
The pig's trotters have been cooked until they are soft and not greasy, and can be swallowed without much chewing.
This time, Gu Qingchi ate it all obediently, and then handed the bowl to Xie Luyu.
Xie Luyu simply stacked the bowls on top of another pile of bowls on the stove next to him.
Gu Qingchi: Stare
"You can't drink any more. It's not good for your stomach to drink so much in the middle of the night. Go back to sleep. I'll make it for you tomorrow."
Only then did Gu Qingchi slowly move his eyes away from his small bowl.
The fire in the stove was not yet extinguished. Xie Luyu put the bowls and chopsticks into the basin, put on gloves and took the casserole off the fire.
Then Gu Qingchi stood up and went to get the dishes to wash.
"Hey, hey, just leave it there and don't move."
Gu Qingchi paused and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Don't touch that, it's greasy. Put the seasoning in the cupboard for me."
Xie Luyu pointed to the pile of seasonings on the chopping board with the knife placed next to it.
"Don't touch the knife. I'll put it away later. Go ahead and put away your stool and blanket after you're done."
Xie Luyu did these things very quickly as he was used to it. He was a good cook. Although it sounded a little unbelievable, he cooked for himself at home.
In addition, he can make puddings and bake cakes, which can be said to be a virtuous person.
Gu Qingchi quickly put the seasoning back in place, folded the small blanket, put the small stool in the corner, and then stood quietly at the door watching Xie Luyu clean up everything in the kitchen.
Xie Luyu cleaned up the stove and dishes, and finally took off Peppa Pig's apron.
Then he picked up his coat, without wearing it, and put it directly on his shoulders. He habitually put a cigarette in his mouth and became the carefree Brother Xie again.
He just took the cigarette out immediately and held it between his fingers.
"Leave."
Gu Qingchi hummed and followed him upstairs quietly.
Even though Xie Luyu never stopped talking, he was actually a little nervous.
He always says whatever he wants to say and does whatever he wants to do because he doesn't care what other people think of him.
Xie Luyu has experienced almost all the ups and downs that an artist can go through, including cyberbullying, gossip and scandals, and the tabloids' unusual preference for Xie Luyu.
Any one of these can almost ruin an artist's career.
But Xie Luyu has experienced almost all of them.
Xie Luyu grew up too fast, he stood out from the crowd, he was young and frivolous, and attracted the attention of others. Everyone was waiting for him to bow his head and compromise.
But Xie Luyu came over.
It did not stop growing like this. It withstood the strong winds, continued to take root deep down, and grew into a towering tree, creating a miracle.
Xie Luyu, who grew up against the strong wind, has a strong heart.
Even when he was a teenager, he was more arrogant.
Xie Luyu had almost never experienced tension, worry, and lack of self-confidence.
There are many people who hate him, and there are many people who like him.
Xie Luyu doesn’t care. He can’t make everyone like him. He is just like that and he won’t change even if people don’t like him.
But in front of Gu Qingchi, he subconsciously wanted to show his good sides.
Xie Luyu wanted to make Gu Qingchi happy and wanted him to get along well with him.
He wanted to please him.
Because, they are not insignificant people.
It's a heart-moving person.
Is Gu Qingchi good-looking? Of course, Xie Luyu has only seen this one in all his years in the circle.
At first, Xie Luyu looked at Gu Qingchi with pure admiration.
Everyone likes beautiful things, and Xie Luyu is no exception.
There is no such thing as being unromantic.
All the lack of understanding of romance is just that you are not beautiful enough to touch the other person.
The impression left by my first visit to the locker room was truly profound. It was beautiful, really beautiful, so sharp in beauty that one almost dared not touch it.
Such beauty as sharp as a knife rushed over the moment he opened the door of the locker room, cutting deeply into Xie Luyu's heart and leaving an indelible mark.
Xie Luyu originally had no intention of getting closer. Some things are meant to be viewed from a distance, and then kept in the heart forever, to be savored slowly someday.
Later, he took a quick glance in the crowd and looked over at him nonchalantly, and Xie Luyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At that time, Xie Luyu was blocked by paparazzi for a long time and was asked some very stupid questions. Xie Luyu went there with a lot of anger.
The look from him calmed Xie Luyu down.
Then there was an inexplicable sense of loss.
He was still the same, nonchalant, with nothing in his eyes. When he looked at Xie Luyu, his gaze was no different from when he looked at anything else.
Xie Luyu was nothing to him.
This was the first time in Xie Luyu's twenty-plus years of life that he felt so anxious and worried.
He still didn't quite understand why he was abnormal.
But I just can't help thinking about it and can't help getting closer.
It was no coincidence that Xie Luyu met Gu Qingchi here.
There are not so many coincidences in the world. All the fate given by God was used in those two meetings.
Xie Luyu was already lucky enough, God favored him and gave him two encounters.
Then next, Xie Luyu took the initiative to take a step forward.
Everything went smoothly.
He remained the same, silent, focusing on his own beauty as art and ignoring all the attention.
That's really cool.
Then he saw more and gradually learned a lot about that person.
He knew his name was Gu Qingchi.
He knew that although Gu Qingchi looked lazy and was actually very lazy, he would complete the tasks assigned to him seriously, even if he was reluctant.
He knew that Gu Qingchi liked to be alone, was always quiet, and had a melancholy temperament.
He knew that when Gu Qingchi was alone sometimes, he would inexplicably reveal a vulnerable expression.
He knew that Gu Qingchi actually didn't like chocolate and would be unhappy when he tasted the bitterness.
He knew that although Gu Qingchi looked easy to feed, he was actually very picky about food.
Then I wanted to get closer.
It's like drinking poison to quench thirst, it only makes you sink deeper and deeper.
Xie Luyu is actually very sharp. He is an actor, and a very talented one at that.
He is used to observing others.
Xie Luyu can accurately detect the meaning of people's small movements, subconscious hints, and subtle changes in emotions.
In other words, Xie Luyu's ability to read people's expressions has reached a terrifying level.
But Xie Luyu has never used this ability to please anyone. He disdains it and there is no need to do so. Only when he is acting will he be serious and use this ability to figure out and analyze.
He once thought, if he ever used this to please others, how depraved he would be.
Now he used this skill on Gu Qingchi, trying his best to please him.
So he could tell when Gu Qingchi was unhappy, when he was happy, and why he frowned.
Like a pervert.
So he knew that Gu Qingchi didn't really like Xie Luyu.
