Jiangzhu's Summer

Chapter 17 Hot Pot

On Friday night, the couple invited Xu Mumu to have hot pot as agreed.Xu Mumu sat in the back and ate dog food for a week, filled with resentment, gearing up to kill the two of them.

The three of them finally went to a Chongqing Jiugongge hot pot.The bottom of the copper pot is served on the table, with a layer of bright red peppers floating on the surface, just looking at it makes the mouth water.

Jiang Chenyu rolled up his shirt sleeves in front of the small cooking table and made a seasoning dish.Add two drops of chili oil to the sesame sauce, sprinkle with green onion, coriander and crushed peanuts.After the adjustment, I turned around and was about to pass it to Zhu Jingci, when I found someone leaning against the table, stretching out his hands to make a viewfinder frame, and clicked at him.

"doing what?"

Zhu Jingci leaned forward and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu'er is so homely and virtuous, I want to take a picture and treasure it." Then, he took the dish he handed over, and sniffed it exaggeratedly , "It smells so good."

Jiang Chenyu reached out and pinched the back of his neck, like pinching a naughty cat.

The latter shrank his neck and wandered to the cooking table by himself, "I'll help Xiao Yuer make one too." He happily took out a plate, added oyster sauce, seafood sauce, sesame oil, spicy millet, mashed garlic, chopped green onion and coriander , stirred the chopsticks, and handed them to the person in front of him expectantly.

Jiang Chenyu dipped a piece of fat beef suspiciously, and couldn't help squinting his eyes when he took the entrance.

"It's delicious!!" Seeing that he likes it, Zhu Jingci was quite proud, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "This is my exclusive recipe. Every time I go out to eat hot pot with people, they love it to death."

"Have you mixed dishes for many people?" Jiang Chenyu frowned slightly, twirling his fingers behind his back calmly.

"Huh?" Zhu Jingci moved his head closer, his eyes narrowed, and he stretched out his fingers to hook him, "I seem to smell jealous, is someone jealous?"

"You heard it wrong." Jiang Chenyu sat upright.

"Okay, I guess I smelled it wrong," Zhu Jingci shook his finger and whispered in his ear, "I only mixed the sauce for Xiao Yu'er myself, others don't have this kind of treatment."

"..." Jiang Chenyu's ears were stained red unconsciously, and he was about to explain, but was interrupted angrily by someone opposite.

Xu Mumu, who had eaten dog food for half a day, stuffed a piece of hairy belly into his mouth, biting it loudly, "Chongqing hotpot needs to be served with oil, you two idiots!!

Although the location of this store is out of the way, the taste is not bad.The duck intestines are flexible, the tripe is crispy, the beef balls are chewy, and the shrimps are smooth and elastic.Jiang Chenyu was originally insensitive to Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, so he couldn't stand Zhu Jingci's teasing, so he took a sip and then ate several mouthfuls silently.

He really likes watching Jiang Chenyu's little habits changed because of him. It feels as if he has gradually put himself into Jiang Chenyu's life, leaving traces of his own existence. He and this person's life are intertwined and integrated, Inseparable.

At the end of the meal, the resentment in Xu Mumu's heart disappeared with the steam of the hot pot.He held up his cup, and patted Jiang Chenyu's shoulder with pride, "If you want to say that I'm awesome, Brother Jiang is awesome. Finding a partner is different from others."

Jiang Chenyu pressed his cup, and replied courteously, "Not as good as you, you can get drunk with Coke."

"Nonsense! I'm so happy!" Xu Mumu slammed his cup loudly, "I was worried that if one day I had a partner, no one would have dinner with you. It's pitiful for you to be alone. a friend."

"Thank you so much," Jiang Chenyu's eyes twitched, "You'd better find someone to eat with you right now, otherwise it would be pitiful to be alone."

"Is our ten-year relationship just for you to waste like this?" Xu Mumu slapped the table, "The friendship is over, Jiang Chenyu, you have lost me forever."

The three of them finished their meal procrastinatingly, and the sky was completely dark.

"Brother Jiang, do you want to go home together?" Xu Mumu asked beside him.

Jiang Chenyu took Zhu Jingci's hand, "I'll take him home and I'll be back later. You stop by my house and tell my parents that I was detained by the teacher."

"You know that I'm an honest person. The last time you didn't come home at night, I lied for you. It's my limit." Xu Mumu looked upright.

"Two meals of spicy hot pot."

"Five meals!"

"Three meals, is it too much?"

"Deal!" Xu Mumu gave him a high-five with a smile on his face, "I'm good at lying and so on, so go at ease and cover me."

"Go away." Jiang Chenyu smiled and thumped him on the shoulder.

Zhu Jingci watched him walk away gradually, his back disappeared in the night, what flashed through his mind was what he said to himself tonight.

At that time, Jiang Chenyu went to pay the bill, and there were only the two of them at the table.Xu Mumu put away his usual hippie smile, "Actually, I never thought that you would like Jiang Chenyu before, nor did I think that you would be together."

Zhu Jingci recalled that night of confession, and the expression on his face softened, "He is the one who is fine."

Xu Mumu looked at his expression, and couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, "Our two families are neighbors, and we have known each other since we were young. Jiang Chenyu, he didn't like to talk or talk to people when he was young, but he was a stinky fart, so I used to be very uncomfortable. like him."

A smaller Jiang Chenyu appeared in front of Zhu Jingci's eyes, with a stern face, frowning, and a serious look, which is cute just by imagining it.Thinking about it, I feel a little regretful that I haven't been able to see it.

Xu Mumu continued, "I loved to eat when I was a child. I was chubby and not very good-looking. Children don't care about right and wrong. A group of children in our community don't like to play with me. They call me a fat man. Such an ugly nickname."

"At that time, I was too young, and I didn't know what to do, so I stood there and cried very spinelessly. Then my brother Jiang saw it once."

"At that time, he didn't really play with us very much, because he often went to various cram schools and didn't talk to us very much. The children in the courtyard were a little afraid of him."

"He stood in front of me and asked me why I was crying, in that impatient tone. I was scared and wronged, so I cried and talked to him. He let me lead, found the group of children, and grabbed the head of their boss. The collar was pressed to the ground, and he told me to choose whether he wanted to scold or beat him back."

When Xu Mumu said this, he paused for a moment, as if he was recalling the scene at that time, with a smile on his face involuntarily, "I was stupid at that time, and I didn't know how to curse, so I slapped that person several times."

"After the beating, he asked me if I was relieved, and I said I was relieved, and he let the man go."

"At that time, the children in the circle were shocked. Jiang Chenyu actually looked weak at that time. Who would have thought that he could fight like that."

"Then what happened afterwards?" Zhu Jingci could hear it fascinated, and the Jiang Chenyu that Xu Mumu was talking about seemed to be different again.When he knew this person, this person had already put away the enthusiasm and second-year high school when he was young, and became gentle and decent.Therefore, the him in the fleeting image is very novel to Zhu Jingci.

"Later, the child's parents came to the door," Xu Mumu winked at him.

"Is there anything difficult for you?" Zhu Jingci's heart tightened.

"How is it possible," Xu Mumu waved his hand, "My brother Jiang's parents are really domineering, and they directly said that my brother Jiang was acting bravely, protecting the children, and letting the family take care of their son. Now it's okay to be beaten up Seriously, there is no place to cry when I enter the juvenile detention center, so I just pissed off that family."

"That's when I realized that what I thought was a huge matter was actually so simple to solve. I made a quick decision and will hang out with my Brother Jiang from now on."

Zhu Jingci clapped his hands together twice.

"So you see, Jiang Chenyu is actually a very kind person. He doesn't want to see others being bullied, and he is soft-hearted towards everyone."

"Such a temperament is endearing, but also vulnerable."

"That's why he is sometimes smart and ruthless. He never stumbles twice in one thing. If he is deceived by a person once, he will never believe him again."

Xu Mumu sat up straight, and said seriously: "Zhu Zhu, you only have this chance to be with him. I can tell that he likes you very much. Don't let him down, okay?"

"I promise," Zhu Jingci replied with a serious expression, "I will always treat him well and will not lie to him to hurt him. I will cherish all his warmth and love."

Xu Mumu stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, raised his glass and touched him, "Then I will entrust this kid to you from now on."

With Xu Mumu as cover, Jiang Chenyu was not in a hurry to send Zhu Jingci back home, and the two simply walked towards Mao'er Lane on foot.

The sky was clear and clear, and it was rare to see stars in the night sky.Zhu Jingci deliberately lagged behind, stepping on the shadow of the person in front of him step by step, every step was just right.The shadow was moving along with the walking, and while people were not paying attention, he stretched out his hand to compare the rabbit ears above the shadow, looked at it, and laughed out loud.

Jiang Chenyu turned his head and caught his little trick.He didn't stop him, and took two steps on his own initiative, moving his shadow to cooperate with him.Zhu Jingci was having fun, and rushed to the front of him, turned around to face him, walked back, and looked at him with a smile on his face.

Jiang Chenyu looked at it and felt that the picture was familiar.After that lunch, this person was also like this, looking at him while walking, with unspoken thoughts hidden in his words, and he was trying to cover it up, and his face suddenly turned pale and panicked after being exposed by him.

As he thought about it, regret surged up, and he felt a dense pain in his heart.

Zhu Jingci didn't know what the person in front of him was thinking, but he could feel his deep emotions.He stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Chenyu's palm, smiling with crooked eyes, and compared the rabbit ears on his head to make him happy.

Jiang Chenyu stretched out his hand, rubbed his earlobe, and said in a low voice, "I'll supply you all, okay?"

Zhu Jingci looked up at him with a puzzled expression, "What do you want to make up for?"

"I made up a lot, starting from the day I met you." Jiang Chenyu recalled, his voice was low and gentle, "Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the most beautiful person in this world?"

Zhu Jingci remembered that this was what Jiang Chenyu taught him when they ate beef noodles together for the first time.He had prepared an answer in his heart at the time, but he hadn't been able to say it to others.So at this moment, with a smile in his mouth, he said loudly to the person in front of him, "It's our little fish that everyone loves, whose flowers bloom like no other in the world!"
