Stop, stop. Why did Ye Xue think of the things that happened in college?
Ye Xue’ was so embarra.s.sed that her face blushed. She stood where she was and watched Jiang Yu open the lunchbox by himself. When he reached out for her lunchbox, she suddenly remembered her $20 lunchbox.
She hurriedly took a few steps forward to cover her lunchbox and accidentally placed her hands on Jiang Yu’s hand. Both of them were stunned.
Jiang Yu lowered his head and looked at the hand that suddenly pressed down on him. It was very different from the chubby hand he saw when they met. Her hand was still fair, but the feeling of flesh was gone. Her knuckles were long and slender, and her nails were round. She looked much better.
Her palms were warm, and there was a layer of sweat on the back of her hand. It made his heart beat faster, but he was very calm on the surface. “What’s wrong?”
“No, nothing,” Ye Xue pulled her hand back with a slightly blushed face. She glanced at the lunchbox that Jiang Yu was pressing on, feeling a little uncertain.
them.
Jiang Yu looked up and saw her blushed cheeks, just like a freshly ripe apple, inviting him to take a bite. He collected his thoughts and said, “Sit down. It’s been a long time since we ate together.”
Ye Xue was stunned. How long had it been since they had meals together? Ever since Jiang Yu left to pick up went to learn martial arts, they had not eaten together.
She subconsciously moved her feet and sat down on the sofa.
Jiang Yu opened Ye Xue’s lunchbox and frowned when he saw the Green capsic.u.m and potatoes stir-fried, Mixed vegetables, and Seaweed soup inside.
He glanced at his lunchbox. He has sweet and sour pork ribs, squirrel mandarin fish, prawns with longjing, and black chicken goji berry soup.
There was a vast difference between the two lunchboxes.
He raised his head and looked at Ye Xue. “Didn’t you bring the food from the staff canteen?”
“Twas afraid that you wouldn’t get used to the food from the canteen, so I ordered a take-out,” Ye Xue explained. She glanced at the food in the lunchbox. Could it be that he didn’t like the food?
“There’s no need to special order food from outside. The staff canteen is pretty good.” Jiang Yu pushed his food towards her. He took the disposable chopsticks and started eating Ye Xue’s $20 food.
‘When Ye Xue came to her senses, she found that Jiang Yu had already started eating. She asked curiously, “Why did you eat my food?”
Jiang Yu slowly chewed the food in his mouth. “You’re too thin. You should eat more meat.”
Ye Xue was stunned again. When they were dating, Jiang Yu often said that she was too thin and needed to eat more. She had gained five pounds over the winter during her first year, but he still said she had lost weight.
Seeing that she had not held up her chopsticks, Jiang Yu reminded her, “Don’t just sit there. Eat first.”
Ye Xue looked at the lunchbox in front of her. She ordered according to a man’s appet.i.te. “I can’t eat so much food.”
Jiang Yu paused in his eating, First, he looked at Ye Xue. Her figure was a little thin, about the same as a year ago. She was skinny, and her appet.i.te had always been small.
Then he looked at the food in front of her. It was indeed a lot.
“Give me some food.” Jiang Yu put down the lunchbox and chopsticks and picked up the lunchbox in front of Ye Xue. He put some of the food into his lunchbox.
After dividing the food, he handed her the lunchbox and disposable chopsticks. “Eat.”
Ye Xue took the lunchbox with one hand and held the chopsticks with the other. She was a little nervous when she ate, worried that Lin Wan would see her when she came in and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Therefore, she had always taken her leisure time to eat and ate very quickly today. She just wanted to finish her food quickly and leave.
Jiang Yu ate a few mouthfuls of the food and saw that she ate very quickly. She did not chew at all, as if she was swallowing. He reminded her, “Eat slowly. Otherwise, you can’t digest if you eat so fast.”
Ye Xue ignored him. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Jiang Yu was a little helpless. He slowly continued to eat his food and was deep in thought.
After lunch, Ye Xue cleaned up and was about to leave, but she was stopped by Jiang Yu again. “Xiaoxue.”
She was used to Jiang Yu calling her Xiaoxue, so she didn’t notice their relationship may seem too close if he called her Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue asked, “Is there anything else?”
Jiang Yu stared at her for a while and said, “Nothing.”
“Then I’m going.” Ye Xue tumed around and walked out, then closed the door.
After Ye Xue left, Jiang Yu stood in the same spot and looked at the tightly shut office door. What could he do to return to their past relationship with Xiao Xue?
The following morning, the sky was still dark.
Jiang Yu drove to the entrance of the alley. As the pa.s.sage was too narrow, the car could not move in. He could only park the car at the alley entrance and then get out of the car to walk.
Jiang Yu had not been to Ye Xue’s house, but he had met Ye Xue’s father, Ye Jianguo.
After sending Ye Xue home, he had secretly followed her, so he knew the exact location of Ye Xue’s house.
After walking for about ten minutes, he arrived at Ye Xue’s door.
He first lowered his head to look at the time on his watch. Estimating the time, Ye Xue was about to leave the house.
He was a little hesitant. Should he knock on the door and enter.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened from the inside. It was Ye Xue’s mother, Luo Meiling.
Seeing a man standing at the door, Luo Meiling was shocked. “Who are you?”
Jiang Yu said politely, “h.e.l.lo, Auntie. I’m Ye Xue’s cla.s.smate and colleague. My name is Jiang Yu. I’m the same age as Ye Xue. I’m the only son in the family…” my parents were still alive.
Jiang Yu felt like he was meeting his mother-in-law for the first time. He was very nervous, but he hurriedly stopped when he said an opening sentence.
Luo Meiling couldn’t help but laugh when she heard that. This child was so funny. She smiled and asked, “So you’re Xiaoxue’s cla.s.smate. Why are you looking for Xiaoxue so early in the morning?”
Jiang Yu didn’t feel nervous when he saw the aunty laugh. He said, “Aunty, I discussed with her yesterday. It’s too far for her to live at home and travel to work. She had to get up early in the morning, and it was not safe to take the car. Moreover, there were too many cheeky hands on the subway. It’s much
more convenient for her to move to an apartment near the office. I’m afraid that there’s not enough time, so I came to pick her up.”
“Mom, who’s here?” Ye Xue had a bun in her hand and took a bite out of it. She even forgot to chew, and her cheeks were puffy. When she walked out of the house, she saw Jiang Yu standing at the door. She was stunned.
Why did Jiang Yu come to her house?
Luo Meiling turned to look at her daughter. She pretended to be unhappy and said, “You child, why didn’t you tell me that you were moving out? Your home is indeed far away. Every day before dawn, you have to get up to catch the bus and take the subway. When you get home, it’s already nine o’clock at
night. “It’s good to move near the office.”
Ye Xue opened her mouth to refute, but unfortunately, her mouth was stuffed, and she could not speak, so she could only chew desperately and then swallow.
Jiang Yu saw Ye Xue puffing up her cheeks and smiled. “Xiaoxue, are you done packing?”
What packing? She had no intention of moving into the apartment at all.
At this moment, Ye Jianguo heard a commotion and walked out of the inner room. He saw the man in the courtyard and stared at him for a long time before he suddenly remembered who he was, “Isn’t this Xiaoxue’s cla.s.smate? A few years ago, when my wife was sick, and her stall was destroyed, he and
two other cla.s.smates saved us. Not only did they pay for the damage, they even paid for the mental damage. After not seeing them for a few years, the change is quite huge..”
