I heard you still love her

Chapter 13

Because of Xiao Ruoyan's arrival, this small room finally felt like home.

Yan Zhilan was sitting on a small bench on the balcony picking vegetables. She changed into a homey white cotton velvet long dress, her hair was pulled up, revealing her slender and fair neck, and she was still wearing a thin necklace with no pendant at the end. , she turned her head to look at Xiao Ruoyan from time to time, her eyes were gentle and clear.

Xiao Ruoyan held Xiaoxiao to examine it. She opened its mouth, looked at its teeth, and carefully observed its claws.

Xiaoxiao is well-raised by Yan Zhilan, her claws are trimmed regularly, and her teeth are well protected without any bad teeth.

Xiao Xiao squinted her eyes and yelled impatiently, "Meow Meow", she turned her head towards Yan Zhilan and stared at her, obviously acting like a baby and complaining.

Xiao Ruoyan: "It's time to lose weight, some of them are overweight."

Yan Zhilan smiled, "Didn't you say you want a fat cat?"

Are you still too fat now?

Xiao Ruoyan was startled for a moment, she turned to look at Yan Zhilan, "You still remember."

It's been so long, even she herself can't remember clearly.

Yan Zhilan lowered her head halfway, the sun was shining on her body, and there was warmth in her eyes: "Yeah."

She remembered every word Ah Yan said.

Xiao Ruoyan's chest was sore. Today is a happy day. She didn't want to make it too sad, so she quickly diverted her attention: "I'm going to wash my hands and cook."

She still doesn't feel at ease about Xiaoyan's cooking.

Yan Zhilan smiled, "I really can."

When she came in just now, Xiao Ruoyan didn't look carefully. This time, when washing her hands for cooking, she carefully looked at the toothbrush and towel on the sink.

All toiletries are prepared in two copies.

A blue toothbrush and a pink toothbrush are placed in the cup next to each other.

The hanging towels are also blue and pink.

Looking down at the slippers on her feet, Xiao Ruoyan thought, maybe Xiaoyan thought she would come today, so she prepared them in advance?She felt that she should not be self-indulgent, after all, blue was her favorite color all the time.

But...she just came here for a meal, why did she need to buy toiletries?She doesn't stay overnight...

Inexplicably, Xiao Ruoyan's face was a little hot, she screwed up the faucet embarrassingly, her heart still hadn't calmed down, she looked up and saw Yan Zhilan standing behind her in the mirror with a half-smile.

Xiao Ruoyan: ...

What is that look?

Yan Zhilan looked into her eyes firmly: "The pink one is mine, and the blue one is for you."

Xiao Ruoyan's heart was touched for a moment, she looked into Yan Zhilan's eyes, and pretended to ask casually, "Did you buy it new?"

Her eyes flicked to the hand sanitizer next to her.

That's the tea tree flavor I like.

Yan Zhilan shook her head, "No, I bought it for a long time."

How long has it been since you bought it?

Before Xiao Ruoyan figured out the meaning of this sentence, the corners of Yan Zhilan's lips raised slightly, and she said softly, "The weather forecast says it will rain tonight."

Xiao Ruoyan was silent.

and then?

Yan Zhilan: "Lanlan ordered hot pot near the school before, it's a bit far away."

She looked at Xiao Ruoyan.

Xiao Ruoyan lowered her head halfway, staring at the small balls on the ground.

Yan Zhilan looked into her eyes: "Don't go to the hotel, can you stay with me tonight? There is a guest room at home."

Very gentle and gentle voice, with a hint of pleading.

Xiao Ruoyan's heart turned back and forth, causing countless waves.

She is almost 30 years old.

With my own hard work, after so many years of hard work, I also became the music director of the company.

There are quite a few people under her management, and there are many things to do, and most of the work pushed to her is difficult.

For a long time, she thought that her edges and corners had been smoothed by society, and her heart had long been ground into a pool of stagnant water in the busy day after day.

But now.

Her heart was throbbing, and there was a kind of girlish... throbbing?

In the end, under Yan Zhilan's expectant eyes, Xiao Ruoyan squeezed out such a blunt sentence, "Let's talk."

Yan Zhilan's eyes hooked hers, staring at hers without blinking, Xiao Ruoyan quickly dried her hands and turned around: "Cook quickly, I'm hungry."

Seeing her hurrying into the kitchen, Yan Zhilan's lips curled up, shaking her head and smiling slightly.

fool.

The kitchen is not very big.

Xiao Ruoyan looked at it when she went in, and felt that Xiaoyan should not use it often.

The pots and pans looked brand new.

Yan Zhilan washed the dishes under the faucet, as if she could read her mind, "I used to cook when I was just learning how to cook, but now I am alone, cooking is not interesting, I eat in the school cafeteria."

Although Xiao Ruoyan felt a little distressed by what he said, he was inexplicably agitated by the words "alone".

She believed in Xiaoyan.

Believe in their love.

But the more you care about her, the more you put your heart on her, the more likely you will worry about gains and losses.Even now, she still thinks of the rumored boyfriend that Lan Lan talked about at her boss's wedding that day.

"What about you?" Yan Zhilan tilted her head, staring at Xiao Ruoyan with her beautiful eyes, Xiao Ruoyan was not thinking about it, and replied casually: "Well, I always cook at home."

Xiaoyan suppressed her smile when she heard this, and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiao Ruoyan silently added: "To save money."

This is the truth.

For so many years, the word "saving money" has been engraved in her bones. In life, daily necessities are calculated carefully. Gao Yu saw the bills she wrote that were the same as the ledgers, and he was amazed: "Oh my God, Do you even have to keep track of how much the cabbage has dropped? Are you too hard-headed?"

……

Neither of them spoke anymore, Yan Zhilan smiled slightly and started washing rice.

Looking at her slender hands soaked in cold water, Xiao Ruoyan frowned subconsciously, feeling sorry for her as if imprinted in her bones, she walked over: "Let me do it."

Yan Zhilan pulled her hand back: "Let me show you a hand, get out~"

She smiled and pushed Xiao Ruoyan out.

Xiao Ruoyan refused to leave, so he just stood at the door and watched Yan Zhilan cook.

Judging by the way she chops vegetables, she is indeed not as clumsy as she was when she was a teenager.

Pressing the vegetables with slender, pale fingers, a strand of hair fell from Yan Zhilan's neck. She was serious and skillful with knives, and with the sound of "dong dong dong", she cut the vegetables neatly.

Where there is firewood, rice, oil, salt and fireworks is home.

The red and blue flames ignited, and after a while, the aroma wafted out. Although Yan Zhilan's dishes were home-cooked, they were all Xiao Ruoyan's favorite.

When they were teenagers, they both liked to drink West Lake Beef Soup. This dish was first learned by Xiaoyan. She picked up a spoon and tasted it lightly, then turned around and smiled at Xiao Ruoyan.

At that moment, the years are quiet. If possible, it would be better to stop like this and not move forward.

Xiao Ruoyan stared blankly, and the faint light from outside the window came in, a little against the light, and she couldn't tell whether this scene was real or a dream again.

"Don't stand there stupidly, take a rest when you're tired."

Yan Zhilan urged her with a smile, but Xiao Ruoyan didn't want to leave, so she said casually, "It's almost enough, the two of us can't eat much."

She saw that Xiaoyan was about to cook six dishes and one soup.

West Lake Beef Soup, Stir-Fried Kailan, Stewed Chai Chicken, Green Bamboo Beancurd Sticks, Potato Beef, Ants Climbing Trees...

After being busy for a long time, it was Xiao Ruoyan's favorite food.

The chicken was stewed by Yan Zhilan in advance, and it was already tasty. She wiped the sweat from her brow, and ordered some, "It's still short of your favorite spicy crayfish, ah, there is no pepper in the house."

Xiao Ruoyan said immediately, "I'll go buy it. In fact, you don't need to cook it. You are really good now, and you can cook so many dishes."

She looked at the table full of dishes and praised them, but her heart felt sour.

She still remembers Xiaoyan who cooked a bowl of noodles for her when she was a teenager.

in case……

just if.

They never separated.

Xiao Ruoyan believes that the current Xiaoyan will still be the same as before, being spoiled by her will not do anything.

She somewhat misses the clumsy and cute little Yan she was when she was a teenager.

Because of thinking about it, Xiao Ruoyan was also in a hurry to buy groceries. Xiaoyan was very relieved of her. Xiao Ruoyan was very smart. In the past, wherever the two of them went, as long as Xiao Ruoyan walked by once, she would never go there. Her road idiot is two extremes, and her classmates call her a living map.

Arriving at the grocery store where Xiaoyan bought vegetables just now, Xiao Ruoyan was thinking about buying some more fruits or something. The proprietress saw her coming and greeted her, "Are you here to buy vegetables?"

Xiao Ruoyan nodded, "Well, I want some pepper."

"Okay." The proprietress quickly entered the room to get a bag of peppercorns. She was very talkative and said with a smile, "Ms. Yan is making spicy crayfish again?"

Xiao Ruoyan, who was picking pears, was taken aback for a moment. She looked at the proprietress, "How do you know?"

Before the proprietress could speak, the little girl next to her smiled strangely: "West lake beef soup, stir-fried kale, stewed chicken, green bamboo shoots and yuba, potatoes and beef, braised lion's head, and ants climbing trees. Back down."

The proprietress patted her buttocks, "Why are you talking so much, hurry up and do your homework."

Xiao Ruoyan froze in place, she looked straight at the proprietress, the proprietress explained with a smile: "This teacher Buyan is not good at cooking at first, so he will ask me when buying vegetables. Yes, she often asks our mother and I to taste it, she is very good at cooking, that is..." She smiled honestly: "It's just these few dishes that I have made over and over for several years, many times."

The proprietress looked at Xiao Ruoyan curiously, "You have a good relationship with Teacher Yan, right? It's been a long time, and I haven't seen her come to buy vegetables with others."

Xiao Ruoyan's voice choked, "Yes, we are fine."

The proprietress smiled, and she handed the bag to Xiao Ruoyan, and the little girl next to her, who was doing her homework secretly, raised her head and said happily, "Are you the clean freak who likes blue?"

What likes blue people?

Xiao Ruoyan turned her head to look at the little girl. The little girl's name is Tongtong, and she likes Yan Zhilan very much. Over the years, she has been calling her sister one by one, very close.

Tongtong, who just ate Yan Zhilan's lollipop, said happily: "My sister has a lot of blue things at home, slippers, toothbrushes, bed sheets, pillow covers, quilt covers, she told me when she took me to do my homework. Wait for someone who likes blue to come back."

Because mother is too busy, occasionally, she will trouble Yan Zhilan and send Tongtong there.

Yan Zhilan is very patient with taking care of children, she is free to watch Tongtong do her homework, read comic books and so on.

Tongtong can see her washing the blue sheets and quilts by hand every Friday. At first, the children didn't care, but after a long time, Tongtong asked, "Sister, why do you wash it every week? "

She knew that Yan Zhilan's sheets were pink.

Yan Zhilan hung the fragrantly washed sheets on the rail, turned her head and smiled and replied: "Because my sister is waiting for someone to come back, she likes blue and is very clean, so she needs to wash it~"

Tongtong didn't understand, "Then you washed it so many times, why didn't I see her come back?"

Yan Zhilan's body froze, she was silent for a moment, she turned her head and said softly to Tongtong: "She will come back."

……

Xiao Ruoyan's eyes were moist, the proprietress found out, and hurriedly drove Tongtong away, "Go, go do your homework, you are everywhere!"

……

Come out of the grocery store.

Xiao Ruoyan didn't go home directly.

She squatted in the corner, crying alone.

——Just a few dishes over and over again, and I have cooked them for several years, many times.

Are you that clean freak who loves blue?

My sister said she was waiting for someone who liked blue to come back.

……

After calming down for a long time, she wiped her face carelessly and walked home slowly.

At home, Yan Zhilan had already cleaned up the crayfish. When she heard the door open, she turned her head: "Why is it taking so long?"

Xiao Ruoyan smiled: "It's okay, I chatted with the eldest sister who sells vegetables."

She stared at Yan Zhilan with teary eyes without blinking.

once.

Her Xiaoyan is Miss Qianjin.

People who can't even cook noodles.

It was supposed to be a life of being pampered and cared for.

Now, because of her, he turned against his family and almost lost his life. He moved out to live in this small room by himself, waiting for her day after day.

hatred.

At this moment, Xiao Ruoyan deeply hated, hated the injustice of the world, hated all those who separated them.

Yan Zhilan turned her back to Xiao Ruoyan, unaware of everything behind her: "Well, the eldest sister is very talkative and kind, and it's hard work relying on her at home, where is the pepper, you—" She was about to turn around as she spoke, suddenly Her waist tightened, and someone hugged her tightly from behind.

Yan Zhilan froze, put down the frying spoon, and asked nervously: "What's wrong, Ah Yan?"

Xiao Ruoyan hugged her vigorously, buried her head in Xiaoyan's neck, smelled her scent, and choked up: "Don't talk, let me hug you."
