Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Chapter 367 Want to Stay

Yukiko Nakamori asked herself, but couldn't find the answer, because she knew that she was the one who chose to be with that man.

When she found out that he was Wang Xuan, everything seemed to be a lie. All the lies that followed were just to cover up the first one.

Can this really be considered cheating?

The real deception should be to get the advantage and then leave. If that is the case, when they go home separately is the best time to say goodbye. There is no need to show up again.

But he came back, which means he cares about this relationship, right?

But if you really care, why hide the truth?

Are you worried that you will be abandoned after being exposed?

Problems ensued.

Yukiko Nakamori questioned herself over and over again, her mind in a mess, not knowing what to do next.

"Xuezi, Xuezi..."

Seeing that she suddenly fell into deep thought and stopped talking, Kana called her a few times.

"what are you thinking about?"

"nothing."

Nakamori Yukiko came back to her senses, shook her head and smiled, then returned to the previous topic: "Are you really going to endure this and turn it into an underground relationship?"

"What else? What other options do we have?"

Kana said with a wry smile, knowing that her friend was trying to enlighten her. So she changed the subject: "Stop talking about me. Tell me, were you thinking about him just now? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"No……"

There was a hint of loss in Yukiko Nakamori's eyes, and she lowered her head and remained silent.

After secretly cursing the irresponsible bastard in her heart, Kana smiled and comforted him, "It's better if he doesn't come. If he really shows up, we will have to separate. The Red Country is so big, it may take a long time for us to meet again."

"Yes, he will take me away directly when he comes."

With mixed feelings, Yukiko Nakamori suggested, "Why don't we stay together for the next two days? It will be hard to have such an opportunity to get together again in the future."

"Well..."

Kana seemed hesitant.

Seeing the change in the other person's expression, Nakamori Yukiko smiled and said, "It's just a joke. Don't be so nervous. If he comes to see me in the middle of the night, you will be embarrassed."

"What are you talking about!"

Hearing this, Kana blushed, glanced at Nakamori Yukiko, snorted and said, "That won't happen. Even if he suddenly appears, I will never let him take me away. After all, the friendship between sisters is much more important than this!"

Yukiko Nakamori smiled and nodded.

"In that case, I'll stay with you tonight..."

"no problem……"

Although she agreed readily, Kana was already regretting in her heart that she had agreed so hastily.

This is really an act of bragging.

At least now, if the man that Yukiko cared about suddenly showed up, they wouldn't be able to enjoy each other's company.

Luckily, we have a dinner date tomorrow, so I guess he won’t show up tonight.

At this moment, the only thing that made Kana feel at ease was that she hoped that the man could take Yukiko away as soon as possible tomorrow.

Nakamori Yukiko looked at her, her lips curled up slightly, "What do you think about tomorrow night? He Yuzhu said he wants to invite you and his ex-wife to have dinner together, and he wants you two to get to know each other."

"Are you a little nervous? I'll go with you."

Kana thought about it and felt that it was really nice to have someone to accompany her, so she didn't object and sighed, "Let's see tomorrow."

"If he comes to pick you up tomorrow, there's no point in us talking about this now."

"It doesn't matter. It would be more convenient if he really came."

Yukiko Nakamori laughed, "It just so happens that they haven't met yet, so they can have a meal together and get to know each other."

"Hmm, hmm, that's a good idea..."

Kana nodded and couldn't help complaining, "You are familiar with He Yuzhu, but I haven't even seen the face of your girlfriend."

"I just want to know what he looks like and what charm he has that makes you care so much about him."

Yukiko Nakamori smiled but said nothing, but she felt bitter and confused in her heart and didn't know how to respond.

I want to leave, but I can't bear to.

I want to stay, but I don't know how.

Should I lay everything out and make it clear, or should I pretend I know nothing?

What would happen if I confessed everything and Kana found out?

Can the sisterhood continue?

I pretend not to know, but I can't get over it in my heart.

The person she loves and cares about may just be an illusion. Thinking of this, Yukiko Nakamori could hardly breathe.

I really hope I can deceive myself and think that all this is just wild speculation and is not true.

However, there are too many coincidences and doubts for reason to avoid reality.

The office is filled with fragrance.

You Fengxia and Qin Jingru were eating instant noodles happily.

Although it’s not the first time I’ve eaten it, I always find it delicious and want another bowl after finishing it.

After taking the last sip of soup.

Qin Jingru wiped her mouth, glanced at You Fengxia, then went to the bathroom in the lounge to wash the empty bowl and put it on the windowsill to dry.

When coming back.

Qin Jingru frowned slightly when she found You Fengxia was still there. She felt a little anxious, but she still pretended to be calm and picked up the kettle to get some water.

When You Fengxia saw her leave, she became even more uncertain whether He Yuzhu would be back soon.

Originally, I came here to confront He Yuzhu and demand an explanation because I felt that He Yuzhu was cold and indifferent.

As a result, not only could I not find him, I also didn't know when I could see him.

There was no way of going to find Lou Xiao'e.

I'm full now.

The anger in my heart also subsided a lot.

After thinking about it, You Fengxia decided to go home first and try again in an hour. She didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to meet him.

Even if we can't meet today, there will be plenty of chances to run into each other when we go back to Siheyuan in the evening.

After coming out of Yu Li's office, He Yuzhu went to meet Lou Xiao'e and had lunch with her and Sisi before leaving.

In the past, he often went to the instant noodle factory in the morning and to the steel rolling mill in the afternoon, and sometimes vice versa.

Although Lou Xiao'e was reluctant to leave, she didn't show it. After not seeing each other for such a long time, she also understood that Ran Qiuye was also eager to see He Yuzhu.

As usual, before leaving, He Yuzhu returned to his office to check Qin Jingru's learning progress.

I forgot to do this last night, so I have to take a closer look at it today.

When he opened the office door, the aroma of instant noodles wafted towards him, but he did not see Qin Jingru. He guessed that she might be in the lounge, but after looking around, he found that she was not there.

"Where did it go?"

He Yuzhu felt quite puzzled, because normally Qin Jingru seldom moved around and basically stayed in this room.

"Are you going to buy food?"

While thinking this, he sat down at his desk, picked up the cup to drink water, but found that the thermos was not there, which made him realize that Qin Jingru might have gone to get water.

So I picked up today's newspaper and read it, preparing to wait for a moment.

At this moment, at the door of the hot water room downstairs, Qin Jingru, who had just walked out of the door carrying a thermos full of water, happened to meet You Fengxia who was coming towards her.

"Humph!"

She was secretly delighted, with an irrepressible smile on her face, and she passed by him with her chin raised as if she didn't notice him. This made You Fengxia stunned. She had originally planned to say hello to Qin Jingru, but now it seemed that she was ignored.

However, the phenomenon she observed just now caught her attention - Qin Jingru had a smug smile on her face, as if there was something worth celebrating, and her expression was as cunning as a little fox that had stolen honey.

What does this smile mean?

There was a flash of thought in You Fengxia's eyes. She stopped and hesitated for a while before giving up the idea of ​​going back to the broadcasting room. She turned and walked towards the fourth floor.

The corridor was very quiet at this time, and no one was moving. I tiptoed to the door of He Yuzhu's office and gently opened it...

I saw Qin Jingru pouring hot water into a cup.

Seeing You Fengxia coming back, she frowned slightly and ignored her expressionlessly.

There was no one else in the room except Qin Jingru. You Fengxia felt disappointed. Maybe her guess was wrong?

However, recalling Qin Jingru's smile earlier, she always felt that there must be some secret hidden in it.

After a brief thought, he decided to stay and continue exploring. "Sister Jingru, I have something to discuss with you."

Facing You Fengxia who suddenly appeared, Qin Jingru responded coldly: "What's the matter?"

In fact, she didn't want to pay attention to this person at first, but now that she was already here, she had no choice but to deal with it.

You Fengxia slowly walked a few steps closer, sighed and said in a pretentious manner: "You also know that I am staying in the courtyard as a guest..."

A few days ago, my dad told me that the tenants were coming back and asked me to move out quickly to make room.”

"I was quite worried about this before. Now it's all right. We are good sisters now. Sister Jingru, it would be too lonely for you to live alone. How about I move in with you?"

Not good.

How can you still be sisters with this kind of person?

Qin Jingru secretly despised him in her heart, but she didn't refuse directly. "Let me think about it. You go back first. I'll tell you the result before I get off work."

Was it so easy to convince her?

A gleam of pride flashed in You Fengxia's eyes.

In fact, she had long felt that her roommate Yu Haitang was not kind enough, and the landlord just happened to be taking the house back. This was the perfect opportunity to get rid of Yu Haitang without having to break up with her.

But if this happens, I will have no place to live, so I can only think of asking Qin Jingru for a place to stay.

But You Fengxia knew clearly that Qin Jingru had no good feelings towards her and the possibility of her agreeing to let her stay was almost zero.

This time I just wanted to find a topic to talk about. Unexpectedly, Qin Jingru's attitude was unexpectedly gentle, and she even expressed her willingness to consider it.

"Sister Jingru, do you agree?"

You Fengxia pretended to be surprised. "Thank you so much! This is very important to me. Otherwise, I would have nowhere to go in Siheyuan... and I wouldn't be able to go to He Yuzhu's house casually anymore..."

Who said they promised to let you live here?
