tears
Chen Qi'an went to the research building very early.
When Dongyou woke up, her side was already cold. She picked up her phone and looked at it: it was only half past six.
She had wanted to get up early to make breakfast for Chen Qi'an...
At this time, she couldn't sleep anymore, so she jumped out of bed, brushed her teeth and washed her face, then walked to the dining room and found that breakfast was already on the table.
She touched the bottom of the plate and it wasn't very hot anymore.
It seems that Chen Qi'an has been gone for quite some time.
Last night, Dong You took advantage of Chen Qian'an's dinner party to go to a nearby supermarket alone, bought a lot of ingredients, and studied recipes for a long time, just so that he could show off his cooking skills and please Chen Qian'an during this time.
Dongyou actually doesn't have any talent for cooking. He started preparing lunch for two at eight o'clock in the morning. The kitchen was bustling with activity until he finally finished at eleven o'clock. He found that he had forgotten to cook rice, so he had to put the rice in the rice cooker again and wait.
While waiting, she turned on her phone and called Chen Qian'an, saying that she would bring lunch to see him at the research institute later.
Chen Qi'an said that it was not necessary, the institute would provide lunch, so she didn't need to bother.
Dongyou said she wanted to have lunch with him, just like he had with her before.
Finally, Chen Qian'an softened his heart and agreed.
"Who is this? She's very good-looking."
"Yeah, yeah, he looks really fierce. Is the leader here for inspection?"
"You can tell at first glance that he is not an ordinary person."
"Eh? Look what she's holding in her hand?"
"I don't know. It looks like... a lunch box?"
The emergence of winter travel has sparked some discussion in the institute.
Chen Qian'an was still looking for information in the archives room. Dong You followed the information Chen Qian'an gave her and sat quietly on a chair outside the archives room, waiting.
"Oh my god, who is she waiting for?"
"I don't know... Wait... Is the guy in the archives room now that guy? That junior student Chen or something? Could such a beautiful girl be chasing him?"
"That's impossible. We're in Country M right now. My junior has never left the research building. At most, he's gone to the neighborhood next door. And this woman looks like she's of the yellow race, with typical oriental looks."
Chen Qi'an didn't let Dong You wait too long, and he came out soon. Although he knew that Dong You would come to have lunch with him, when he actually saw him, his chest was still filled with a strange sense of satisfaction.
So the reason why Dong You wanted him to accompany her at noon was because it would give her such a strange sense of satisfaction?
Seeing him come out, Dong You smiled at him and said, "Are you done? Come and have dinner."
The sensitive Chen Qi'an could feel the gazes from all around him. He felt strange and awkward as he gently wiped his face with his fingertips and said, "Let's go to the lounge next door."
There are too many people here.
Chen Qi'an felt that he and Dong You were like the popular little animals in the zoo.
Of course Dong You had no objection. He had already chased and coaxed people to this extent, so how could he not listen to him on such a small matter?
The lounge is a relatively small office with a large bookcase and several large tables and chairs.
Dong You laid out the lunch boxes one by one on the table. Chen Qi'an wanted to help her, but she refused, insisting on doing it herself. But of course she couldn't stop Chen Qi'an, or rather, she didn't dare to really stop him. Chen Qi'an still helped her set the chopsticks and spoon.
As we were about to start eating, Chen Qi'an suddenly asked, "Aren't you hot?"
It was still very hot in Country M at this time of year. And he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt for winter outing. Although it wasn't thick, Chen Qi'an still felt that it would make him sweat and make winter outing uncomfortable.
Winter Travel: "Ah? It's okay, it's sunscreen." She pointed behind Chen Qi'an, "Besides, the air conditioner is a bit cold. I'm more afraid of cold than heat, you know."
Chen Qian'an nodded and said nothing more.
He took two bites of the food and said, "Did you order this from the restaurant next door?"
Dong You didn't want Chen Qi'an to make it herself. First, she had tasted it herself and it was a bit average. Second, she accidentally got burned by the oil and it looked like it was blistering. If Chen Qi'an knew about it, he would definitely check it out.
She had no choice but to tell this little lie.
Dongyou: “Yes.”
Her lies were too natural, her cooking was acceptable, and Chen Qian'an's tongue was the kind that made no difference to anything he ate.
Chen Qi'an didn't doubt anything.
Dong You felt very strange. She had expected Chen Qi'an to be angry. Yet, she had flown here from China in a panic. From the moment she decided to leave until now, she hadn't stopped for a moment.
Now that she had calmed down, her mind began to work.
She found that Chen Qi'an never showed any anger from beginning to end.
This did not give winter travel a sigh of relief.
On the contrary, she was very panicked.
If he is really not angry, then it means——
Chen Qi'an's feelings for her are truly pure sisterly love.
no.
But Dongyou has never pursued others, and the way others pursue him has never moved him.
No reference at all.
Five minutes later, Dong You looked at the watch on his wrist.
She and Chen Qian'an only had five minutes to have their meal formally.
In just five minutes, Chen Qi'an was called away by the professor to look up information.
They didn't have time to say anything, and Chen Qi'an had only finished less than half of his meal.
"You should go back first. Do you have company matters to attend to?" Chen Qian'an hurriedly wiped his mouth with a tissue and asked.
"I'm fine." Dong You gave a very forced smile. "I'll wait for you. You have to finish your meal anyway."
Chen Qi'an shook his head. "No, I guess I'll be busy until the afternoon. It'll be boring for you to stay here, why don't you go back first?" He paused for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, when are you going back?"
Chen Qi'an had said so much, Dong You had no choice but to clear the lunch box on the table. Hearing Chen Qi'an's question, he said nonchalantly, "I'll go back with you?"
"ah?"
Chen Qi'an wanted to say something else, but the professor was already urging him from the archives room.
There was no other way, so he had to walk away while stiffening his neck and saying, "You go back first, we'll talk tonight."
Unfortunately, Chen Qi'an came back too late in the evening, it was almost twelve o'clock. Although Dongyou hadn't slept yet, Chen Qi'an had dinner, took a shower, and went to bed again.
They want to communicate, but they are unable to do so.
Chen Qi'an had to get up early the next day and didn't dare to sleep too late.
Dongyou saw that he was so tired and didn't dare to disturb him to rest.
The next morning, Dong Youxue was very excited and she set the alarm for 5:30.
As soon as the alarm rang, she opened her eyes and turned to look to her side.
Perhaps Dong You had more energy than Chen Qi'an and opened his eyes faster than Chen Qi'an. Chen Qi'an stayed in bed for a while, and Dong You stared at him for a full five minutes before he slowly opened his eyes.
When he suddenly met Dong You's eyes, his sleepy eyes suddenly became clear.
"Why did you wake up so early?" But his voice was still hazy.
"I can't sleep." Dongyou started telling some harmless lies again.
Chen Qi'an sat up and walked to the door in the blink of an eye: "I'll wash up first and make breakfast later."
"I'll go with you!" Dongyou immediately followed suit.
This went on for a week, with almost no real communication between them.
Chen Qi'an really wanted Dong You to stop worrying about him. He could take care of himself in a foreign country alone, and she didn't have to put down her work to accompany him. He had already grown up.
But he was too busy.
Every time I start something, I get tripped up by other things and then it ends up in nothing.
Of course, it was impossible for Chen Qi'an to work at such a high intensity for thirty days a month when he went to Country M to help his tutor. The tutor was very humane. He divided the group into groups and made a schedule, with each group taking turns to rest for one day.
The ninth day after arriving here happened to be Chen Qian'an's day of rest.
But that day he still got up at 5:30 and went out at 6:10 as usual.
It’s not that he doesn’t want a holiday or that he’s hardworking.
It was because he had not finished the task at hand the day before, and it was already very late. He was worried that Dong You would have to wait for him too late, so he had to go back early.
It took a long time to finish the work and I didn’t get back to the rental house until nine o’clock.
But when he entered the rental house, he felt very strange.
There were sounds coming from the kitchen and the smell of food.
Who is it?
In fact, he had a vague answer in his heart.
He tiptoed to the kitchen and sure enough, he saw Dongyou wearing an apron and trying to stir the wok with somewhat awkward movements.
Her head kept shrinking back, and Chen Qian'an felt like laughing when he saw her.
Kind of cute.
A ghostly voice reached Dongyou's ears: "—Xiaoyou."
Dong You, who was cooking seriously, was startled and almost dropped the spatula in his hand.
When she realized whose voice it was, her whole body froze and she didn't dare to look back.
Chen Qi'an walked to her side.
At this time, Dongyou was still cooking. Although he was nervous, he did not show it on his face and looked calm.
Now she was not wearing long-sleeved clothes like Chen Qian'an had seen her before. This time she was only wearing a short T-shirt, and the row of red bubbles on her hands were all seen by Chen Qian'an.
"...the meals we've had these past few days..." Chen Qi'an's throat tightened, "Did you cook them all?"
Dong You could tell from Chen Qi'an's tone that he wasn't angry. But there was something more deadly than anger—
He is about to cry.
Although Chen Qi'an was no longer a child and didn't cry loudly like he did when he was little, Dong You was afraid of him crying not because he was annoying but because he was afraid of his tears and his sadness.
Dongyou immediately turned off the fire and turned around.
Sure enough, I saw a pair of tearful eyes.
"...Don't cry." She reached out and covered Chen Qian'an's eyes, looking down at the ground. "I'm sorry."
"I didn't cry." said Chen Qian'an.
You're lying. You clearly sound like you're crying.
Dongyou was secretly complaining in his heart.
There was a long silence.
Chen Qi'an took the spatula from Dong You and said, "Let me do it."
Dongyou squeezed the spatula tightly, "No need!"
She was so determined that Chen Qi'an didn't dare to grab it with force. After all, in the kitchen, excessive physical movement might hurt someone.
Finally, Chen Qian'an assisted and Dong You took the lead in cooking, and they worked together to prepare this table of lunch.
