“It turns out that you’re my new neighbor.”
Chu Qianze stood up and glanced at the garbage bag in the man’s hand.
“Are you going to take out the garbage?”
“I just sorted things out at home.” Yun Zhoujie pushed his glasses.
When he sent Chu Qianze home before, he was surprised to hear the address because this was his newly chosen home address.
He originally thought that the two of them would be destined to live in the same apartment complex, but didn’t expect..
“This is where you live?” Yun Zhoujie glanced at Chu Qianze and the bag hanging on the doorknob, his tone a little hesitant.
“I forgot to bring the key, and I’m waiting for the lock master to come and unlock it.” Chu Qianze spread his hands, expressing helplessness.
“When will he come? Will it take a long time?” Yun Zhoujie asked.
“I don’t know. That person said that there are a lot of people asking to unlock doors today, so he can only arrive as soon as possible.”
He didn’t bring his key once, but he also happened to catch the time where a lot of people wanted to unlock doors, what luck!
“Would you like to come and sit in my house for a while?” Yun Zhoujie asked. The other party can’t just stand here all the time.
“Can I?” Chu Qianze’s eyes lit up.
“Of course, come in first.” Yun Zhoujie said, putting the garbage bag on the wall by the door.
“Thank you so much!” Chu Qianze took down the ingredients hanging on the doorknob and followed him into the house.
“I just happen to have an extra pair of slippers, so here.” Yun Zhoujie took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them in front of Chu Qianze.
“I was thinking who my neighbor would be, but I didn’t expect it to be you.”
He was busy rehearsing day and night, so he didn’t pay much attention to the existence of his neighbors.
Chu Qianze walked in wearing slippers, he put the ingredients on the table.
“It’s a coincidence.” Yun Zhoujie poured a glass of water out of the kitchen and put it in front of Chu Qianze.
Chu Qianze took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, there was still 3% battery life. “Do you have a charger? My phone’s about to run out of power. I’m afraid I won’t be able to make calls when I open it later. It’s this kind of port.”
He handed the phone over.
Yun Zhoujie picked up the phone and glanced at the port, “Yes, just wait.” He said, and walked to his room.
Chu Qianze looked around and saw that the house was of a minimalistic style, it was a type that couldn’t go wrong with everything, but it seemed cold, a bit like the owner.
However, it’s also really clean here.
Yun Zhoujie walked out of the room and handed the charger to Chu Qianze.
“See if it works.”
After comparing the ports, plugging them in, and seeing that the phone was charging, Chu Qianze breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thanks.” He raised his head and said to Yun Zhoujie.
“You rest first. I’ll just take out the trash.” With that, Yun Zhoujie put his phone on the table.
Chu Qianze watched the other party leave. He sat cross-legged on the sofa and found that Jie had sent him a private message some time ago, asking about tomorrow’s event.
He also replied with a few words.
After a while, a ringtone rang. It was Yun Zhoujie’s phone.
Chu Qianze glanced at the table but didn’t move.
He and Yun Zhoujie haven’t yet reached the stage of friendship that could answer each other’s phones.
It’s better to wait for the person to hang up on their own initiative.
But as soon as the phone rang, it rang again, and it didn’t stop. It made people feel like there was something buzzing next to their ears.
“Who is this..”
Chu Qianze walked over and found a notification window on the screen, showing several unread messages about Group A’s live broadcast.
He didn’t care about the notifications. Chu Qianze’s fingers crossed the screen, directly connecting to the call.
“Hey, cousin, you finally picked up—” The other person on the phone couldn’t hide their excitement.
“Yun Zhoujie isn’t here; he took out the trash. When he comes back, I’ll tell him and ask him to call you back.” Chu Qianze said directly.
“Who are you? Taking out the trash.. are you at my cousin’s house?” Ye Zhong felt something was wrong.
His cousin is a neat freak and pays attention to privacy. He hates it when others violate his private property and rarely even goes to his house. This person is at his cousin’s house and even picked up his phone for him?
If there isn’t anything fishy about this, he’ll screw his head off!
Chu Qianze wasn’t going to continue to talk with the person, so he just pressed the hang up button. As soon as he hung up, he saw Yun Zhoujie open the door and walk in.
“Your phone kept ringing just now, so I answered it. Do you want to call back?” Chu Qianze handed the phone to Yun Zhoujie.
Yun Zhoujie glanced at the call log; it was Ye Zhong.
“It’s alright, it’s nothing important.”
He found that there were unread messages in the live broadcast. He opened it and saw that it was a reply from Yangshengzhai, but it wasn’t the time to chat now.
Putting the phone in his pocket, Yun Zhoujie glanced at the bags on the table. “You haven’t had dinner yet?”
“Yes, it was rare for me to diligently go to the mall and turn around a few times to choose ingredients. As a result, I forgot my key.”
Chu Qianze added after he finished speaking, “Have you eaten, Mr. Yun?”
Yun Zhoujie usually eats when he feels hungry. Looking at the time, there are about two or three hours before dinner.
“Not yet.” Sensing what the man would say next, he inexplicably added, “I was just trying to get something to eat.”
“That’s great.” Chu Qianze smiled wider and suggested, “In order to thank Mr. Yun for letting me stay, how about I cook you a meal? I just bought a lot of ingredients, all fresh.”
He was really hungry now, and he really didn’t want to order take-out.
“You can cook?” Yun Zhoujie asked.
“I live alone, after all, I know more or less. I feel pretty confident about it.”
Yun Zhoujie responded, and said, “When I signed up for a full set of decoration services before, they sent a full set of kitchen utensils, so things should be quite complete.”
“Really? Then I’ll take a look.” Chu Qianze grabbed the bags and walked to the kitchen.
“Let me give you a hand. Although I don’t know how to cook, I’m still fine with washing vegetables.” Yun Zhoujie followed.
Asking guests to cook is a bit awkward after all.
“Then..wash these dishes.” Chu Qianze wasn’t polite since he wanted to help.
Chu Qianze cut the meat in his hand, and when he saw that the man was washing the potato twice, he couldn’t help laughing.
“Are you going to rub it directly into mush?”
“It’s not clean.” Yun Zhoujie’s hand kept moving.
A hand reached out and grabbed Yun Zhoujie’s wrist, and took the potato from his hand.
“Just wash the potatoes, after all, you’ll have to peel them later.” Chu Qianze said, and simply picked up another bag and gave him a new job. “Would you like to wash these vegetables?”
Yun Zhoujie took the bag and looked inside, his expression changed. “There are worms in it.”
Chu Qianze leaned over and glanced at it, “That’s fine. You can dispose of it by washing it.”
After that, he began to dispose of the things he had on hand. He noticed that there seemed to be something strange on Yun Zhoujie’s side. He turned his head to look over, and found that the other party was putting the plastic bag in the sink and rushing to open the faucet.
“What are you doing?” Chu Qianze was somewhat confused.
Only then did Yun Zhoujie come back to his senses and turn the faucet off. “Sorry, I couldn’t control it.”
He stared at the sink for a long time before deciding to reach out.
Seeing that he looked like he was facing a great enemy, Chu Qianze also knew that it was probably difficult for him, so he simply raised his arm and put it in front of him.
Aware of Yun Zhoujie’s suspicious gaze, Chu Qianze said, “It’s not very convenient right now, can you help me fix my sleeves?”
One of Chu Qianze’s sleeves slipped down and was about to cover his sleeves, while the other side also slipped a bit.
“I’ll wipe my hands first.” Yun Zhoujie took his hands back. He walked quickly to the living room, took out a few pieces of tissue to wipe it dry, and then went back to the kitchen to help Chu Qianze fold up one of his sleeves.
“The other side,” Yun Zhoujie said after finishing one sleeve.
Chu Qianze turned around in cooperation.
The two sleeves were folded in no time. From Chu Qianze’s point of view, the width and length of the rolls were very similar, almost like copy-pasting.
“Just put the vegetables here. Let me do it. Now is Chef Chu’s cooking show.” Chu Qianze said.
Yun Zhoujie didn’t insist this time, and obediently retreated to the side, quietly waiting for the meal to start.
All the ingredients that Chu Qianze needed were processed.
Turn on the fire, pour in the oil, and put the ingredients in.
“It’s a bit late, so I’ll just make some light dishes. Does Mr. Yun have any taboos? For example, are you allergic to anything, or unable to eat spicy food?” Chu Qianze said, waiting for it to boil.
“I can eat it all.” Yun Zhoujie said, catching a delicious smell.
He unconsciously touched his stomach.
“Then I’ll taste it a bit.” He picked up a spatula and slipped it into the pot, then put it on a plate.
The phone rang, and Chu Qianze picked it up and answered it. It was about the lock on his door.
“Hey, have you arrived yet? Okay, I’ll be there now.”
After hanging up the phone, Chu Qianze said to Yun Zhoujie, “The lock master is here. I have to go out first.”
Yun Zhoujie pointed to the pot on the stove, his tone with a little loss, “Then what should I do with this?”
“I already turned the heat down, you can just let it cook by itself.” Chu Qianze said, pushing open the door and walking out.
After the door was unlocked, Chu Qianze went in and took out his key, then hurried back to the opposite kitchen.
Chu Qianze opened the lid and looked at it, he said, “The soup is ready, we can eat it now.”
Yun Zhoujie had already put the other dishes on the table, and heated the tableware and chopsticks for two people.
He couldn’t hold it for a long time. He wanted to try it but he was shy, now he could finally eat it.
“Try it?” Chu Qianze motioned for the other party to eat first.
The potatoes were so simmered that they tasted soft and melted in your mouth. This feeling is like quicksand slipping through your fingers, and like soaking in a hot spring quietly, feeling the warm water waves, which only gives people relaxation and comfort both physically and mentally.
Yun Zhoujie ate a potato and then another, he couldn’t stop. His face was calm, his movements were calm and restrained, yet his hands were getting faster and faster.
“How is it?” Seeing the other party eating happily, Chu Qianze couldn’t help but smile.
This desperation to finish all the dishes is probably the biggest compliment to the maker.
Yun Zhoujie had just eaten a piece of braised pork and had no time to speak, so he could only nod his head slightly, his eyes clearly conveying the message that it was delicious, really delicious.
“Then eat more; don’t choke.” Chu Qianze said.
The meal was so enjoyable that both of them felt refreshed.
After finishing dinner, Chu Qianze said, “I’ll go first.”
There will be an event tomorrow.
Yun Zhoujie stood up and took him to the door, “See you tomorrow.”
Chu Qianze’s hand paused when he took the key, and then reacted. “See you tomorrow.”
He returned to his home and posted a message on the channel page.
[See you tomorrow.]
“It turns out that you’re my new neighbor.”
Chu Qianze stood up and glanced at the garbage bag in the man’s hand.
“Are you going to take out the garbage?”
“I just sorted things out at home.” Yun Zhoujie pushed his glasses.
