On a certain day of a certain year, she suddenly had her first boyfriend in twenty-six years. Although this boyfriend was different from what she imagined.
Xu Yuanyuan was chopping tomatoes. The latest variety show was playing on her mobile phone hanging on the tiles. Braised beef was stewing on the gas. The aroma in the kitchen was accompanied by the sounds of chopping vegetables, programs and stewing. At this time, Yang Yingqi squeezed into the kitchen carrying large and small bags of things.
Yang Yingqi first organized the bulk purchases from the supermarket and put them in the refrigerator. He also folded the plastic bags and stuffed them into the pocket hanging behind the door. Then he washed his hands and took the knife from Xu Yuanyuan's hand.
"You lie down on the sofa and watch. I'll call you later when I'm ready."
Xu Yuanyuan smiled and watched the man wearing a pink lace apron busy in the kitchen. She washed the vegetables she bought, broke the cucumber in half with her bare hands, and brought half to Yang Yingqi's mouth.
"Huh?"
With just such a sound, Yang Yingqi obediently opened his mouth and bit off half of the cucumber.
"It's quite fresh."
As Yang Yingqi spoke, he opened the enamel pot lid on the gas stove. He was suddenly burned, so he went to put on heat-insulating gloves. Xu Yuanyuan said she was helping, but in fact she was squatting by the pot waiting to take a bite first.
Yang Yingqi's milky coffee-colored dog slippers lightly touched Xu Yuanyuan's calf. Yang Yingqi said, "Just stay aside and don't disturb me while I cook."
Xu Yuanyuan giggled, took out a bottle of yogurt from the refrigerator and ran to the living room.
