Chapter 57
The two of them sat on the sofa. Lan Shuqing was wearing pajamas and her long hair was clipped up with a clip. Jiang Bai sat next to her. The documents that were previously on the sofa were collected by Lan Shuqing and put aside.
The cake was placed on the small coffee table.
Lan Shuqing went to the cabinet next to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of milk and handed it to Jiang Bai, "Why did you come here without telling me? Aren't you afraid that I won't be home?"
Jiang Bai took the milk and smiled at her, "It doesn't matter if you're not here, I came to see you anyway."
Lan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, wanting to tease her again, so he said, "Aren't you afraid of disturbing me?"
Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected this, so she asked carefully, "Did I disturb you?"
Seeing that the other party believed it, Lan Shu raised his chin slightly and glanced at the information stacked next to him. "Here."
Jiang Bai let out an "ah!" and looked into Lan Shuqing's eyes. After confirming that there was no blame in her eyes, she tentatively said, "Then, shall I accompany you?"
Lan Shu hummed softly, "It's not impossible."
Jiang Bai smiled. She pulled Lan Shuqing's hand, which was hanging by her side. Lan Shuqing lowered her head to glance at him. Jiang Bai let go again. She smoothed her hair and turned to open the cake box. "I bought it at the cake shop you mentioned."
She ordered it early in the morning, went to pick it up, and then rushed over.
This looked very similar to when they ate cake together at Jiang Bai's house. The two of them also sat on the sofa like this, and Lan Shuqing would sometimes sit with her legs crossed. At that time, she was only nineteen years old and still a high school student.
But now, Lan Shuqing will graduate next year and is already an adult.
Jiang Bai wasn't someone who only bought strawberry cakes. She bought the one Lan Shuqing had recommended, and it was the right one. Jiang Bai handed the fork to Lan Shuqing and looked at her expectantly, "Try it?"
Why not try it? It's not like he hasn't eaten it before. However, Lan Shuqing didn't refuse Jiang Bai. Instead, he picked up the fork, took a small piece and put it into his mouth, saying with a smile, "It's delicious."
Jiang Bai smiled.
Lan Shuqing pushed the cake towards Jiang Bai and said, "Try it too."
Jiang Bai nodded, picked up the fork and took a bite. It tasted really good. Then she looked up and smiled at Lan Shu.
So silly, Lan Shuqing thought.
Jiang Bai put down his fork and said, "Lan Shuqing, you eat."
Lan Shuqing was not polite. The cake was not big to begin with, so she picked it up, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and ate it bite by bite.
Jiang Bai was staring at her from the side.
The gazes of the people around him were too focused and intense. Lan Shu gently put down the cake and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
Jiang Bai looked at Lan Shuqing and suppressed the impulse in his heart, "I just want to see you."
Lan Shu glanced at her lightly and ignored her.
The cake was quickly eaten, and after cleaning up, Lan Shuqing started looking at the information again.
Slowly, the two of them sat on the carpet, Lan Shuqing looked at the information, and Jiang Bai looked at Lan Shuqing.
Slowly, Jiang Bai felt sleepy again, perhaps because he was too relaxed next to Lan Shuqing, or perhaps because he didn't get enough sleep last night. Jiang Bai lay on the edge of the coffee table, drowsy.
It was soon twelve o'clock, and the sound of turning pages suddenly became louder. Jiang Bai woke up suddenly and stood up from the coffee table.
Lan Shuqing looked up at her, confused.
It took Jiang Bai a few seconds to realize that she was at Lan Shuqing's place. She glanced at her phone and stood up, leaning on the coffee table. "Lan Shuqing, what are we having for lunch?"
Lan Shuqing thought for a moment and realized there didn't seem to be anything to eat in the refrigerator, so he said, "Go and have a look. I'll be there for a while."
"oh."
The refrigerator is a large double-door refrigerator, embedded in the center of the living room, with a cabinet on the left and a TV cabinet on the right.
When she opened the refrigerator, there were some drinks inside. Jiang Bai even saw some wine. She raised her eyebrows. In addition to the drinks, there was also a box of red grapes and three large pomegranates.
There is nothing else.
There are not many things in such a big refrigerator.
Jiang Bai looked at the frozen items again. There were beef, dumplings and other things. She closed the refrigerator, took out her phone and searched for the nearest fresh food supermarket.
Well, 500 meters, convenient.
So she walked back to Lan Shuqing, knelt down, and said to Lan Shuqing: "Then you watch first, I'll go buy some groceries and cook."
Lan Shuqing looked up at her and nodded, "Okay."
Jiang Bai smiled again, "Is there anything you want to eat? You can order it~"
Lan Shuqing also smiled and leaned on the edge of the sofa to look at her, "So confident?"
Jiang Bai nodded.
"Then," Lan Shu thought for a moment, "let's braise the prawns."
"good."
Jiang Bai went out to buy groceries, and Lan Shuqing also sped up his work. The translation materials had to be submitted on Monday. It was an urgent task assigned by the leader and had to be submitted early on Monday morning.
After finishing reading the materials, Lan Shuqing went upstairs to get his laptop and started typing.
Jiang Bai came back when they were halfway through knocking.
Jiang Bai didn't disturb Lan Shuqing and went to the kitchen to cook.
By the time Lan Shu finished tapping, the aroma of braised prawns in oil had already leaked out of the kitchen.
Lan Shuqing packed up the materials on the sofa, saved the documents in the computer, took them all upstairs, and then went downstairs.
Seeing her coming down, Jiang Bai asked, "Lan Shuqing, are we going to eat on the coffee table?"
She hadn't taken off her apron yet because she was going to cook. She took off her coat and only wore a white long-sleeved shirt. When she looked up at Lan Shuqing, her eyes were serious.
Lan Shu pointed lightly towards the window and said, "There's a folding table and stools there. Feel free to use them."
Jiang Bai turned around to get the table and stools and placed them in the middle of the living room. Then he wiped the table and brought the food out from the kitchen.
Each person had a bowl of white rice, braised prawns, boiled prawns, dipping sauce, and stir-fried spinach. In addition, Jiang Bai also brought a bowl of something else and placed it on the table.
During this time, Lan Shuqing stood by the stairs, watching her busy in and out, like a snail girl.
After everything was done, Jiang Bai took off his apron and called Lan Shuqing, "Okay, come and eat."
Lan Shuqing walked over. The bowl contained wolf-tooth potatoes. Lan Shuqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Bai. Jiang Bai looked at her and smiled, revealing a well-behaved look.
The two sat down. Jiang Bai even took a pair of disposable gloves, picked up a large shrimp, quickly peeled it, and placed it in a clean small bowl beside him. "Lan Shuqing, you eat."
Lan Shu glanced at her lightly and picked up the shrimp that Jiang Bai had peeled. It tasted good.
"Have you been cooking for yourself these past few years?"
It seems that my cooking skills have not deteriorated.
Jiang Bai smiled and said as she peeled shrimp, "It's okay. I only have time to do it on weekends."
"Lan Shuqing, your place is quite convenient. The things in the supermarket downstairs are all very fresh."
She specially picked the shrimps.
Jiang Bai looked up. "I see your kitchen is quite well-equipped. Are you cooking for yourself now?"
There is everything, but it doesn't look like it is very commonly used.
Hearing her ask this, Lan Shu paused and said, "It's also done occasionally."
Jiang Bai asked again, his hands moving non-stop, "So how long have you been here?"
She remembered that Lan Shuqing was still in school before.
Lan Shu glanced at her lightly and said, "We moved here at the end of June. I bought all these things when we first moved in, and I haven't used them much yet."
Jiang Bai said "Oh" and asked, "Is this place close to where you're doing your internship?"
Lan Shuqing smiled when she heard that. She put down her chopsticks and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Jiang Bai blinked and peeled another shrimp and put it in the small bowl. "Just asking. It would be even better if I could know where you're doing your internship."
Lan Shuqing hummed softly in his heart and said a place.
Jiang Bai recalled that it was indeed quite close to here, about five kilometers. After she got Lan Shuqing's location, she looked around. Although it was a bit perverted, it would be good to know more about it.
So Jiang Bai asked tentatively, "Can I pick you up at your internship place later?"
Lan Shuqing continued to pick up the shrimp, then pointed at the boiled shrimp, "I want this."
Jiang Bai said "Oh", looked at the oil on his gloves, changed into a pair of disposable gloves, and started peeling the boiled shrimp.
Lan Shuqing asked her, "If I ask you to come, do you have time to come?"
Aunt Zhao said that Jiang Bai is very busy in that department now.
Jiang Bai smiled and said, "I don't have much time, but I will come to see you as soon as I have time."
Lan Shuqing didn't reply, but pointed to the large bowl of wolf-tooth potatoes next to him and asked, "Why do you make this?"
Jiang Bai exclaimed, "Ah!" "I thought you must have not eaten for a long time, so I made it for you."
In the past, when Jiang Bai didn’t want to cook and wanted to keep things simple, she would fry a bowl of wolf tooth potatoes. She was very good at cooking, and even this kind of mixed dish tasted great.
Lan Shu snorted lightly and picked up a piece of potato. It still tasted the same as before.
Seeing Lan Shuqing eating happily, Jiang Bai also smiled. She peeled a few more shrimps and then started to eat.
After dinner, Jiang Bai cleaned up. Lan Shu leaned against the kitchen door and watched her. It was obvious that Jiang Bai was very happy and her movements were brisk.
Jiang Bai looked up at her and said, "Lan Shuqing, go and rest. I'll be done cleaning up in a moment."
Lan Shu hummed softly but did not move.
Jiang Bai glanced at her, quickened his pace, and soon washed the remaining dishes.
She was used to cleaning up while cooking, so in the end all she had to wash were a few plates and bowls.
Jiang Bai cleaned up, wiped his hands, and stood in front of Lan Shuqing, "I'm ready."
Be well-behaved.
Lan Shuqing stepped aside and Jiang Bai walked out. She glanced at the sofa and asked, "Have you finished collecting all the information?"
Lan Shu nodded slightly.
Jiang Bai said "Oh" and blinked, "Then, let's go rest?"
Lan Shu leaned against the wall and smiled, "Are you ready to go back?"
Jiang Bai hummed, then took a step forward and pulled Lan Shuqing's pajamas sleeve, "I want to rest, too."
Lan Shu chuckled and looked at her, "Is this how you chase someone? To get inside their house?"
Jiang Bai was speechless for a moment, then she blinked and decided to play tricks, "Anyway, I want to rest with you."
It was exactly the same as when Lan Shuqing went to Jiang Bai's house a few years ago.
Lan Shuqing leaned against the wall and compromised, "Go wash up first."
Jiang Bai smiled, "Okay."
