If this is not love

Chapter 19 The Difficult Sutra (3)
Ruxu stopped her chopsticks and looked at him in bewilderment: "You're right, I'm curious, who taught you how to cook?" More and more places on him made her feel unbelievable.

Tan Shaojie's eyes dimmed, and he seemed to randomly pick out a thin fishbone, and said, "You can learn without a teacher."

"Tan Da doesn't seem like a man who can go into the kitchen. He is so busy and socializing a lot, it is impossible for him to teach you how to cook. As for your mother, there should be no chance to teach you. According to my guess, you were a pampered young master before the age of 15 , so I really can’t think of an answer. Is it really self-taught?”

The unintentional words brought out her understanding of him.

Hearing this, Tan Shaojie's face was covered with a faint shadow, and he looked at her: "How do you know this?" Based on his understanding, it is impossible for her to take the initiative to ask about his family problems, so, someone gossips in the office?

Ruxu regretted that she had been quick-spoken for a while, and said sloppily: "What do you know? Hey! This dish can get full marks, I should go get red wine to match it!" She immediately turned around and ran to open the wine.

Broken parental relationship, he must not like to let others know!Ruxu took two wine glasses, poured them, and handed them to him.

"Cheers, Tan Shaojie, congratulations, starting today, we have officially turned hostility into friendship." The winter between them is about to pass, and the warm sun is beginning to appear. Will spring be far behind?Tan Shaojie clinked glasses with her to celebrate this hard-won moment of harmony.

"Okay, cheers. Glad you and I can make peace too."

"Shouldn't it be described as something that is human-made and human-made?" Ruxu was in a good mood, taking a sip of red wine, her eyebrows furrowed, "Strange, this is the rare French Lafite that Xin Ning specially gave me, but how does it feel to drink? How much worse than II Baciale?"

Tan Shaojie picked up the wine glass and shook it lightly, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, "Drinking is about mood, this glass is indeed a rare treasure. It is good enough to match my sweet and sour fish, hehe."

This guy never forgets to praise himself.Ruxu wants to retort a few words, but swallows the words on the tip of her tongue, they will be friends from now on, and they can't speak harshly.

"Congratulations, Tan Shaojie, I just found out today that you are a hidden master."

Tan Shaojie smiled without saying a word, hiding his bitterness.He is called a "master" in many aspects, such as playing games, such as cooking, he is really self-taught.When his parents divorced, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. He couldn't bear the smoke at home, and ran away rebelliously.Later, his father talked sincerely with him many times in the way of a man, asking him to understand the entanglements and contradictions between his parents, and hoping that he would accept the reality.

However, the more I understand, the more lonely and painful my heart feels, so I am young and frivolous, self-indulgent...

He stared at her intently, and said heavily, "You are the same."

"Same? I don't even have the right gesture for holding a spatula. How can I compare with the master chef?" In terms of cooking skills, she sighed that she was inferior, and there was no comparison.

"I mean you are also hiding some aspects of yourself." Mainly for love, she will stick to her heart. No one understands her better than him about the contradictions and sentimentality, longing and fear in secret love.The hoarse voice was a little hoarse, but there was a slight sneer on his face, "You——do you really like him that much?"

"What?" The topic was as jumpy as a hurdle, requiring her to turn her mind quickly to keep up.

"You have known Wang Yichen for over ten years, right? You fell in love with him at first sight, or did you gradually fall in love with him? Have you confessed your love before? Does he know your painstaking efforts to wait silently?" He wanted to know everything.

The cup that held Xu Xu's wine stopped in mid-air, and fell into the depths of his magnet-like black eyes, where a faint cold light was rippling, as if it wanted to split her soul open.Even Xin Ning had never asked about Yichen's feelings so directly, and only Tan Shaojie never cared about her feelings in words or actions.The strange thing is that she didn't feel uncomfortable, but instead had the urge to spit it out.

"Decided to break ten years of silence overnight, are you sure you have prepared enough? Are you afraid that you will only be disappointed and sad in the end, and your head will be broken?" He asked again.

"Yes, I'm sure." She was not impulsive, but the result of repeated struggles during thousands of sleepless nights.

The corners of Tan Shaojie's eyes twitched quietly, and the wine glass made a clear "bang" sound when it touched hers.

"Okay, I wish you success."

"Thank you." She smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes melted the frost on her face for another man.

The corners of his raised lips were a bit cold, and he drank the wine in one breath, and said with a half-smile: "You woman, sometimes you are really cruel, so ruthless."

"Such a weighty evaluation, you need to show evidence!" When he joked, her smile gradually deepened.

"There is a lot of evidence! I knew you first and pursued you first, so why did you abandon me without warning? Do you know that this is cruel?" He picked up the bottle and automatically Pour wine.

"Hey!" Ruxu gave him a big roll of eyes bluntly, "It's true that we knew each other first, but has Young Master Tan ever chased me? Except for finding faults, trying to find faults, hurting me and hitting me, I really I don't see how you have any intention of pursuing me."

Tan Shaojie grunted, finished another cup, raised his thick and handsome eyebrows, "No way? I made it very clear when I kissed you the first time—this young master wants to pursue you. Tsk tsk, how can you be a woman? Your nerves are too tight." Rough, EQ is too low, love sensitivity is too low, no wonder! In my opinion, you have nothing to do with Wang Yichen."

He spoke so clearly, he said everything that should be said, and what he should do was wrong. Even if he didn't hold flowers in his hands and look at each other affectionately to express his love directly, how could she not feel it at all?She is a life idiot and an emotional idiot!
"Bah! Crow's mouth." Ruxu waved her hands again and again, not taking his words seriously at all, pointing at him and ordering, "It doesn't matter if you say you're jealous or jealous, but don't curse me and Yichen's future! Xin Ning You're right, even if you're not [-]% sure, there's at least half the chance. Anyway, no matter what, I won't lose Yichen."

If they can't be lovers, they can still be friends.Having figured this out became the biggest reason for her to go forward bravely.

Ruxu put down the cup and rested her chin with one hand, "Oh! I was so stupid before, why didn't I make up my mind earlier? It should have been when Xin Ning married Shen Yitang, I should have seized the opportunity and bravely stood by Yichen's side, Tell him - I like him, I like him very much. But at that time... I was really timid, afraid that if I said this love, I would not even be a friend. In fact, Yichen is not such a person at all, Even if you don't accept me, it won't hurt me, or our 'Three Musketeers' feelings."

"Cough!" Tan Shaojie began to remain silent, drinking one cup after another. The sweet and sour fish on the table was as cold as his mood.

"Tan Shaojie, please don't say bad things in the future, because you can't hurt me. I don't care about the final result with Yichen. The important thing is that I finally took this step bravely. Just yesterday, I planned to treat him My feelings are rotten in my stomach, and I will be buried forever with me in the future, but now I feel that I am reborn, fearless, and full of incredible power. You might as well be born again!"

"Hmph." He snorted coldly, how to be reborn?Sometimes, her mind is very simple, and she doesn't care about the final result with Wang Yichen, so why work so hard?Doing unnecessary things is a waste of time.

The black eyes gathered a shallow water, and the thin lips raised lightly. Suddenly, he raised his voice and raised his wine glass.

"Come on, Wang Ruxu, it seems that you are very sure, then I wish you both to fall in love quickly, to be together forever, and to be together for a hundred years..." This is really fucking disgusting to say.

Ruxu widened her eyes, and suddenly realized that the bottle of wine on the table was half drunk.sky!It's so expensive... If it wasn't for the sake of his willingness to teach you how to make sweet and sour fish, she would be reluctant to take it out.This guy! ! !

"You're talking nonsense again, you drank too much!" She was displeased, grabbed the bottle and carefully pushed it to the other side of the table.But the table wasn't big enough, so he thought he could reach it as soon as he reached out, so he simply stood up and put the wine on the shelf outside the kitchen.

"Hey, you're not so stingy, are you? You want to learn art from a teacher, and you can't even part with a drink?"

Hearing the voice behind her, her heart skipped a beat and she turned around.

He moved so fast, why did he follow behind her silently?

Tan Shaojie stretched his arm towards the cabinet, and raised his hand to block it as if intuitively.

"You've already drank half of the bottle!"

"What? Does it really hurt?"

"That's right, I feel bad. I plan to learn at least three dishes this week, and invite Yichen over for a candlelight dinner on weekends. This bottle is my most precious wine, and I plan to drink it with him at that time."

Candlelight dinner, drink for two?Her wishful thinking is so beautiful!Tan Shaojie's deep pupils constricted instantly, his tall body swayed slightly, he put a big hand on her shoulder, and criticized: "No sincerity! There is no sincerity in apprenticeship, and there is no sincerity in chasing men. You should prepare two, otherwise How can you ask other men to drink the wine I have already drunk? Right?"

Ruxu opened her mouth slightly, what he said was absolutely right!He forgets that this wine is cheap, and tomorrow he will choose one himself, and sincerely pick one just for Yichen.

The face under the light is no longer as cold as ice, the pink cheeks are like peaches, the crystal eyes are bright, and the lips are like nectar...

A strange commotion gushed out of Tan Shaojie's body, and the man's Adam's apple rolled quietly.He is actually very domineering, he doesn't like others to drink the wine he has drunk, he doesn't allow others to touch the lips he has kissed, and the woman he likes doesn't want others to like it too.Of course, he never told anyone that this kind of domineering was only aimed at a certain woman who seemed smart but was really stupid.As long as he thought of what she might do with Wang Yichen, he would be so jealous that he wanted to kill.

So far, however, he may lack grace, but he has always maintained a sense of sanity.

"Wang Ruxu..." His tone was rough, and there was a hint of indescribable emotion.

"What are you doing?" Being stared at with numbness, Ruxuan pushed him away forcefully.

"Can't you give up?" Knowing that it's useless, I still have to ask.

"You're kidding!" This weird guy, why did he suddenly pretend to be deep when he had nothing to do, which made her feel uncomfortable in this atmosphere.She patted his chest heavily, and said loyally, "Have you had enough to eat and drink? Then teach me fried beef, and I will learn it tonight."
