"Bad, we all call you Brother Ji!" Another person shouted from the side.
"Get out!" The man kicked the other party.
...
Zhan Xi almost forgot his appearance, his name, but still remembered the first sentence he said to her.
Luo Jingyu went to the kitchen to cook, Ji Hongzhe and Zhanxi were staying in the living room, and they sat far away.
Ji Hongzhe crossed his legs, looked at Zhan Xi with a restrained expression and stiff body, and smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I won't tell Xiaoyu. This is the first time I met you today, do you understand?"
He just bullied Xiaoyu and couldn't hear it, and didn't suppress the sound at all. Zhan Xike couldn't do it, and whispered: "I'm not afraid Xiaoyu knows it."
"I understand, it's nothing." Ji Hongzhe smiled and shook his head, "What a coincidence, you and Xiaoyu actually knew him. I have known him for more than 20 years. I grew up in a community when I was a child. At that time, his family and my family went up and downstairs."
"Oh." Zhan Xi was still listless, and she just felt that the world was so small.
Ji Hongzhe was very curious: "How did you meet him?"
Zhan Xi didn't want to tell the cause, so he replied: "I just met him in the same building, and he helped me install two cabinets."
"Ha? Luo Jingyu is so good at flirting now? He is so capable!" Ji Hongzhe found it very interesting. "He was so introverted when he was a child. The little girl in the community provoked him, but he ignored him and would only go home and cry."
Zhanxi: "…"
The little fish with a crying nose... Tsk tsk tsk, why do you feel so cute?
Ji Hongzhe asked again: "Have you graduated?"
"Yeah." Zhan Xi nodded, "I graduated last year."
Ji Hongzhe handed her a business card: "I am selling a house now. I have a first-hand house. The property is far away. If you are interested, you can find me."
Zhan Xi took it and muttered, "Where can I buy a house?"
Ji Hongzhe laughed: "Why can't it be? Xiaoyu bought a house two or three years ago, about the same age as you are now."
Zhan Xi asked back: "Then have you bought a house?"
"No." Ji Hongzhe said indifferently, "I'm not in a hurry to get married, what house should I buy?"
Jason Zhanxi turned his head to look at the kitchen again, Ji Hongzhe asked, "What are your mother doing now?"
"Ah?" Zhan Xi was surprised, "Just retire and stay at home."
"Haha." Ji Hongzhe's smile was very strange, "I thought she was gone."
Zhan Xi's face changed: "What do you mean?"
"Nothing interesting." Ji Hongzhe pointed to the kitchen door and took out the cigarette box and lighter. "You go find Xiaoyu, you are absent-minded, don't worry about me, I'll go smoke a cigarette."
Zhan Xi had long wanted to go to the kitchen, but after hearing this, he immediately left. Ji Hongzhe said "tsk" and got up and walked towards the balcony.
In the kitchen, the aroma of beer duck was already very strong. Another stove had a steamer on it, and I didn’t know what it was steaming. Luo Jingyu cut mushrooms on the cutting board with his back to the door. When Zhan Xi entered, he did not notice it.
She watched him cut vegetables behind him, and the mushrooms quickly turned into small pieces of uniform thickness. Zhan Xi felt that the little fish's hands were simply treasures, and she felt that she could pick up everything she did.
Well...except typing.
Thinking of this, Zhan Xi couldn't help laughing. Luo Jingyu happened to look up and saw a vague figure behind him from the tiled wall in front of him. He turned his head and smiled at Zhan Xi. Zhan Xi walked over to him and asked, "What dish do you want to cook?"
Luo Jingyu pointed to several different types of mushroom slices, then pointed to a bowl of blanched pork ribs on the side. His hands were compared with a much larger bowl. Zhan Xi knew: "Mushroom pork rib soup!"
Luo Jingyu gave her a thumbs up.
He took the spatula to mash the beer duck in the pot. He thought it was almost done, so he turned off the fire, put the duck on the plate, and then filled the soup pot with water and took it to the stove to turn on the fire.
After busy for a while, he turned around and found that Zhan Xi had been leaning against the Liulitai, his eyes were empty, as if he was in a daze.
Luo Jingyu reached out and shook her for a moment. Zhan Xi came to his senses. His right index finger drew a question mark in the air, and his eyes were filled with care.
Zhan Xi smiled at him and naturally patted his arm: "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Luo Jingyu pointed at her and then outside the door.
Zhan Xi asked: "Do you want me to go out and chat with your friends?"
Luo Jingyu nodded.
"I'm not happy." Zhan Xi simply picked up his arms, "I don't know him, so I want to be here with you."
She actually said this... Luo Jingyu felt so heartbroken! She originally thought that she couldn't hear it, and Huanhuan could chat with Xiaozhe, but she wouldn't be so bored, but she would rather be with him. She was so happy!
So happy... Luo Jingyu immediately picked up a duck leg and put it in a small bowl, and handed it to Zhanxi with chopsticks, so that she could eat it.
Zhan Xi was not polite, so he held the bowl and grabbed the duck legs and started eating it. While eating, he said, "Um... it's really delicious! What is this? Is braised duck? The braised duck made by my mother doesn't taste like this."
Luo Jingyu picked up a can of beer to show her, and Zhan Xi immediately understood: "Beer duck! Wow, you can also make beer duck! So awesome!"
The meal was ready, and there were five dishes and one soup on the folding table: beer duck, six steamed hairy crabs, fried eggs with sausage, dried cauliflower, fried Dutch beans, mushroom and ribs soup.
"..." Ji Hongzhe looked at the dazzling array of dishes and said to Zhan Xi, "You said, is it your blessing you ask me, or is it my blessing you ask you? It's so rich!"
Zhan Xi was about to drool and said indifferently: "You go and ask Xiaoyu."
"It's because he's hospitality." Boss Ji Hongzhe sat down bluntly. Zhan Xi wanted to sit diagonally opposite him and let Xiaoyu sit beside him. Ji Hongzhe called her.
He said, "Sit next to me."
Zhan Xi was unhappy: "Why?"
"Miss, use your brain. He wants to see your face to know what you are saying. It is best to sit opposite him. Do you understand?" Ji Hongzhe was speechless. "Do you think I want to sit next to you? I want to talk to him too. When I sit next to him, I will talk to him, and both of our necks will be sore."
So that's how it is. Zhan Xi understood, so he went to help Xiaoyu get bowls, chopsticks, and cups, and then sat obediently next to Ji Hongzhe.
The gift was full, so he climbed onto the cushion and licked his hair in his own entertainment, watching the bipedals prepare to eat.
All three of them sat down, Ji Hongzhe drove, so he didn't drink. Luo Jingyu helped them pour coconut milk. The coconut milk was still heated because Zhan Xi said she wanted to drink a hot drink.
Ji Hongzhe looked at the folding dining table and asked in sign language: [Xiaoyu, why are you so shabby in a house like this? It's like a food stall.]
Luo Jingyu glanced at Zhan Xi on the opposite side of the table and replied in sign language: [I used to eat alone, so I didn’t use the table.]
Ji Hongzhe also turned his head to look at Zhan Xi, with a joking look: [Then how do you use it now?]
Luo Jingyu frowned and signaled him not to say anything with his eyes.
Zhan Xi looked at them strangely and asked Ji Hongzhe: "What are you talking about?"
Ji Hongzhe took a hairy crab and untied the rope: "We are talking about it. Xiaoyu wants to buy a new dining table."
Zhan Xi turned to Luo Jingyu: "Ah? Why?"
Luo Jingyu didn't see Ji Hongzhe's words, and didn't understand what Zhan Xi was asking. She wanted to get her phone, so Zhan Xi quickly stopped him: "Eat first and have a meal first, and then chat later."
Ji Hongzhe looked at them with a smile and broke open the crab shells: "Yeah, Huang Haoman! It's really good."
With Ji Hongzhe here, the meal is not as silent as usual.
Ji Hongzhe brought his translation work during the day to the evening and consciously became a liaison officer for Zhan Xi and Luo Jingyu. When he talked to Zhan Xi, he would cooperate in making simple sign language so that Luo Jingyu could understand it. The most important thing was to translate Luo Jingyu's sign language to Zhan Xi.
So, Zhan Xi saw Xiaoyu playing sign language so relaxedly, and he was very fast, sometimes with one hand and sometimes with both hands, only seeing his beautiful hands making a series of gestures in front of him.
She only learned a little sign language vocabulary of the three-legged cat, and couldn't understand it at all. Only then did she realize how ridiculous it was to tell Xiaoyu that she wanted to learn sign language. She didn't know how long it would take to reach Ji Hongzhe's level.
Ji Hongzhe likes to eat beer ducks made by Luo Jingyu, especially duck legs. He saw Luo Jingyu grab one duck leg and then go to the plate to find another one, but the result is...attempted.
"Why does this duck have only one leg?" Ji Hongzhe was full of questions.
Zhan Xi chewed his legs, looking innocent.
Luo Jingyu smiled so much that her shoulders were shaking. She clamped a duck wing to Ji Hongzhe and said, "I'm sorry, just let it go."
After eating, the three of them started chatting.
"When I was chasing girls, I would always look for Xiaoyu." Ji Hongzhe said while typing sign language. "From him a lot of gadgets that girls like, such as scented candles, small jewelry, and keychains. I took them to the girl and said I made them myself and didn't give him money."
Luo Jingyu was amused by him and shook her head and sighed.
Zhan Xi turned his head and glanced at Ji Hongzhe: "You have the nerve to say, bully him like this!"
"I also helped him." Ji Hongzhe smiled, "I helped him do homework when I was in school. You don't know how bad his grades are! English multiple-choice questions are all based on my imagination."
Luo Jingyu blushed and quickly called sign language to tell him not to expose his shortcomings.
Zhan Xi was already giggling: "Didn't the Chinese multiple-choice questions rely on confusion?"
Ji Hongzhe said: "It's okay to have multiple-choice questions in Chinese, but the disaster is in the big composition. The compositions written by an eight-year-old child are probably more smooth than his."
"Hahahahaha...can be imagined!" Zhan Xi laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.
Luo Jingyu got angry and picked up a crab leg and threw it at Ji Hongzhe.
"Oh, I won't say it anymore. I've been talking about it many years ago." Ji Hongzhe didn't drink, and for some reason he felt a little drunk. He looked around the spacious living room, then looked at the handsome man opposite him, and said to Zhan Xi, "I haven't contacted Xiaoyu for many years. After moving, I lived far away. His home is in the north of the city and my home is in the south of the city. You should know? There is the other side of Wanjiang Road."
Zhan Xi was stunned: "I don't know."
"Really?" Ji Hongzhe smiled, "I thought you knew."
Zhan Sheng is strange: "Why do I know?"
Ji Hongzhe did not answer again.
