Chapter 23 The Apartment...
On Friday night, Chen Lu invited An Chen to his newly rented apartment, and An Chen did not refuse.However, he saw that the kitchen facilities in the house were very complete, so he went to buy vegetables and planned to cook a big meal for Chen Lu, so as to reward him well.
An Chen's cooking skills were learned when he was living alone after graduation.At that time, he didn't have much money, and he was just getting by, so he started cooking by himself to find ways to save money.
An Chen's cooking skills can't be said to be good, at least not comparable to the top masters of those restaurants, but among the boys, An Chen still thinks that his cooking skills should be considered good.
But this time, some sudden thoughts made him discover one thing.
"Are you going to cook?" An Chen pushed the shopping cart and walked in the supermarket with Chen Lu.
An Chen walked in front, occasionally picking up a few daily necessities.In the room they rented, although the facilities were complete, things like towels and toothbrushes needed to be prepared by themselves.
Chen Lu put his hands in his trouser pockets, and followed An Chen calmly. When An Chen was observing the items on the shelf, he also stopped, leaned on the shelf, and looked at An Chen's choice casually.
"Don't you need anything?" Seeing Chen Lu's idle look, An Chen shook his head and asked.
Chen Lu tilted his head and looked at An Chen, then seemed to think of something and suddenly walked to other shelves. When he came back, An Chen looked at the beer in his hand with some twitching corners of his mouth.
"Are you going to cook?" Chen Lu asked when he saw An Chen pushing the shopping cart to the fresh food section.
An Chen walked to the shelf, picked up a broccoli and looked at it. Hearing Chen Lu's question, he turned to look at him and smiled: "It's better to make it yourself than the outside ones! I think The kitchen equipment in the house is very complete, so I plan to cook it myself, what's the matter, don't you welcome it?"
Chen Lu shook his head: "You don't seem like someone who likes to cook." Although there have been changes recently, but only recently, Chen Lu couldn't imagine that the proud An Chen would actually cook.
"I have a good eye, but unfortunately I can cook it." An Chen lowered his head and continued to choose dishes. Chen Lu likes to eat light food, so it should be good for making salad.
Chen Lu is right, in the past, before he was hit by reality, he didn't like cooking.Later, if he hadn't been forced to be helpless, he wouldn't have chosen to start a business by himself.In the 20 years he was cared for by his parents, he never touched those things.
At first, he hated cooking, but he got used to it and recognized the present world clearly.He began to like this ordinary thing. It may be a happy thing to be able to cook quietly by himself, which can calm his mind.
"I'll make you a big meal tonight, do you want it?" An Chen put away the slight sadness in his eyes, turned his head and smiled at Chen Lu.
"Don't you want to advance the big meal on the day of your salary to today, so that it's over?"
Chen Lu crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows and looked at An Chen, his tone seemed a little dissatisfied with An Chen's pettyness, questioning the purpose of his treat.
"I'm a student now, and I can't compare to you, a kid from a rich family. That's all I can do. What's the matter, are you not satisfied?" An Chen cast a glance at Chen Lu, and joked.
"Of course I'm not satisfied. My luxurious meal has turned into a pile of poison that I don't know if I can eat it. Do you think I will be satisfied?"
"Are you so worried about my cooking skills?"
Chen Lu looked at An Chen and nodded abnormally silently.
An Chen turned his head and continued to choose today's dinner.Then he said calmly: "Even if it is poison, you have to eat it for me. Even my parents have never eaten the dishes I cook."
This sentence is true, An Chen has not cooked food now, and it will be two years after he started cooking, and now his parents have never eaten the food he cooked.It was also a temporary idea to cook for Chen Lu today.
"It's too cruel for you to ask me to test myself for poison when we're friends." Chen Lu shook his head with a look of disapproval.
"What do you want to eat today, how about the celery?" An Chen ignored Chen Lu's words, saw that the celery in the supermarket was quite fresh, and asked Chen Lu for his opinion.
"not bad."
……
It was about five o'clock in the evening when Chen Lu and An Chen arrived at the apartment, neither early nor late.
"Aren't you going to take a break and watch TV?" An Chen took out the things he bought earlier bit by bit, and turned his head to see that Chen Lu was actually sitting on the sofa with a notebook and began to doodle.
"Basically, I don't watch TV." Chen Lu turned his pen, then frowned at the essential words, moved the tip of the pen, and crossed out a line.
"Didn't you stop watching TV if you're a director?" An Chen unpacked the toothbrush he just bought and put it in the bathroom.
Chen Lu rested his pen on his chin, continued to think about his script, and was a little careless when answering An Chen's question: "Anyway, I don't want to read it. If you understand the essence of some things, what you see will be different from ordinary people."
An Chen came out of the bathroom, saw Chen Lu's concentration, and smiled: "I found you the most attractive when you wrote the script, but it's a pity that women who can see this scene should not More!"
Chen Lu tilted his head and thought for a while, then looked up at An Chen: "With a woman by my side, I lack inspiration." Vanessa has seen herself writing scripts, but her various tosses make Chen Lu feel uncomfortable every time. Having to stop writing and focus on her can be annoying at times.
"With a man by your side, do you have inspiration?" An Chen started to pack up the groceries in the bag again. He bought a lot. It doesn't have to be finished tonight, and some things can still be kept in the refrigerator. eat tomorrow.
Chen Lu tapped his head with a pen, thought carefully, and corrected his previous answer: "Actually, I have a lot of inspiration, but most of the time, women will influence me to write scripts. Men, generally ignore it!"
"It can be seen that you have ignored me for two years before." An Chen recalled the scene where he and Chen Lu didn't say a word face to face, and felt that what Chen Lu said should be true.This person will ignore other people a lot of the time and just do his own thing.
"Actually, it's not considered ignoring you. You don't need to deny it. You are also ignoring my existence." Chen Lu looked at An Chen, and the smile on the corner of his mouth began to spread.
An Chen walked to Chen Lu's sofa and sat down: "When reading the lines, pay attention to the tone of the speech, without any explosive power. This is the first sentence you said to me, and I still remember it."
When he said this, An Chen looked at Chen Lu with a serious expression.
Chen Lu turned his head and looked at An Chen in a little surprise, then smiled: "I can't tell, you are really stubborn, and you have held grudges for two years!"
Leaning on the sofa, An Chen recalled that time, and felt that he was really stubborn at that time, insisting on something that he shouldn't have insisted on.
"I entered the school as No.1, did you know that?" An Chen raised his head and said, looking at the ceiling above.
"Then I really don't understand." Chen Lu doesn't care about this issue, but he just saw that his roommate has potential, but also has some problems, so he expressed his own opinion.
Hearing Chen Lu's answer, An Chen rolled his eyes at him, and then continued to sink into memories: "At that time, I was proud and arrogant, and everyone praised me, but the person you only met a few times saw me and read a sentence for the first time. The lines criticize me."
"That's the truth. Your performance at the time was really not good enough, but now it can be regarded as a rapid improvement." Two years have changed so fast, and it was only in school. Chen Lu was surprised by An Chen's progress.
"Thank you for your criticism. That's something I lack." An Chen couldn't bring up this topic, so he replied directly.
Chen Lu smiled, then lowered his head and continued to draw in his notebook.
"Then I hope your big meal tonight won't disappoint me."
……
Having not cooked for a few months, An Chen was a bit unfamiliar with it, but he soon regained his senses. Because of his habit, An Chen cooked very quickly, but this time he was afraid of the big meal that Chen Lu ordered. Do whatever you want, he does it with great care.
"What are you still writing?" When An Chen finished cooking and saw Chen Lu continuing to scribble on the sofa, he walked over and called him.
At this moment, Chen Lu stopped writing, and turned the inside page of the notebook to An Chen's direction, "It's been a long time since I drew this kind of character, what do you think?"
What is drawn on the notebook is a person's head, this person is very familiar to An Chen, every morning he can see this person in the mirror.
"You are a good painter, very similar to me." An Chen picked up the notebook in Chen Lu's hand and looked at it carefully. Although it was a very simple sketch, not even a brush, it was very similar, and he captured all his charm up.
An Chen noticed that a line of words was written on the lower right corner of the painting, and then crossed out with one stroke.
Iloved you. Inevershall. That's the truth, Roy. Inevershall.
An Chen's fingers lightly slid across the line.
……
In the middle of the night, the room was silent.
Suddenly a series of rapid phone ringtones cut through the silence.
Chen Lu in his sleep was disturbed by the ringing of the phone, and habitually reached out and groped by the bed.
After getting the phone, without even opening the corners of his eyes, Chen Lu pressed the answer button, and said weakly, "Hello."
A lively female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hi~ Stepon, I'm already at the airport and I'm about to enter the ticket gate. It's flight 3622B. Remember to pick me up!"
"Vanessa?" Hearing it was Vanessa's voice, Chen Lu's sleepiness was mostly gone, and his eyes opened.
"It's me, I'm coming to pick me up, I won't tell you, it's time to check the ticket, bye."
Before Chen Lu could say anything, the phone was hung up.Looking at the phone in his hand, the time displayed on the phone was three o'clock in the morning.
Chen Lu rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly, then lifted the thin blanket on his body and got out of bed.
