Love to Perfection Chapter 8

On Saturday, Zhou Yuan asked Elden Qi to go out with several other classmates. Elden Qi's personality is becoming more and more cheerful, which is a good thing. When I came home in the afternoon, I saw the door on the third floor was open, and there was the sound of water rushing inside. Ethan Luo was wearing an apron and a white handkerchief on his head and was cleaning. The windows were open and a quilt was placed on the window sill.

"We're back." Ethan Luo leaned on the mop and smiled: "The sun is very good today. Let's get some sunshine before winter comes. If you go back and get some sunshine, you won't get sick easily in winter."

Elden Qi suddenly thought that he had never dried the quilt... He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "Ah haha, yes, I have forgotten about it. I will go back and dry it now."

Ethan Luo nodded.

General cleaning. Take out all the quilts to dry, and remove the long sheets and change them. Winter clothes should also be dried, and summer clothes should be washed, dried and put away separately.

After a while, Elden Qi ran downstairs holding the long single quilt cover he had changed: "Um... I don't have a washing machine. Can I borrow yours?"

Ethan Luo pointed to the big bamboo basket next to the washing machine: "Put it in it. I'll send it to you after I've finished washing it."

Ethan Luo's house has been cleaned. The white sheets on the balcony were flying in the wind, and the air contained the fresh fragrance of washing powder.

"It's so organized. I feel ashamed when I see your home." Elden Qi sat on the sofa, holding a tea cup. Ethan Luo stood next to the washing machine and washed Elden Qi's long quilt: "It will be comfortable to live in if it is well tidied up."

"What should I do? I want to stay at your house and not leave." Elden Qi suddenly said.

"Huh?" Ethan Luo looked up and smiled: "Then don't leave."

"I take it seriously."

"I was serious."

Elden Qi jumped on the sofa with a cheer. Ethan Luo let him make trouble. Elden Qi was rolling around and suddenly found this wooden photo frame on the cabinet beside him. There was a slightly yellow photo in it.

He stood up, picked up the picture frame, and looked at it carefully.

Two teenagers, one with a band-aid on his face and a basketball under his right arm, were making V-signs to the camera, happily. The other boy held him in one hand, gesturing with his thumb with the other, and raised the corners of his lips confidently. The background seemed to be a high school playground, with students running in the distance.

The person holding the basketball is Ethan Luo. The other is Noah Li. At that time, their faces could almost look like what they look like now, but they were more youthful, with a kind of immature publicity unique to teenagers.

"Is this... you?"

Ethan Luo came from behind and took a closer look: "You should be able to tell, right? The photo was taken when Xu Fei and I were in the second year of high school. It has been seventeen or eighteen years, and the quality of the color photos at that time was not good, and they were all faded."

"The high school in T city was renovated a few years ago and is much more advanced. But your high school was really run-down at that time."

"Ah. A dozen people live in a big dormitory, and there is only one toilet on the first floor." Ethan Luo took out the washed quilt and shook it out: "I don't have room to dry it here. You can take it back to dry it later." "

Elden Qi still looked at the photo.

how to say.

"Past time" is not a good word for people who know each other well. Memories of the past will always be out of reach for people in the present because it is impossible to join them. Elden Qi watched for a long time. The two high-spirited teenagers were loving each other. He could even feel that the photographer was smiling too.

"It's so fast. In the blink of an eye, I'm already thirty-five this year." Ethan Luo said to himself slightly: "Think about it, it's really scary."

When they were playing basketball, I was in elementary school and still a little kid. Isn't it scary?

Elden Qi took the long quilt home to dry, then ran back, squatted on the sofa and insisted on telling Ethan Luo stories about his boyhood. Ethan Luo was preparing the ingredients for making porridge in the kitchen. While washing rice, he said with a smile, "There's nothing to talk about. It's the same as everyone else. I go to school, take exams, play basketball, and sometimes get into fights with others. That's fine." "

Elden Qi hugged the pillow and held the photo frame, and suddenly said: "Have you and Noah Li always had such a good relationship?"

Ethan Luo opened the sliding window between the kitchen and the living room and smiled gently: "Yes. It has always been like this. I met him because of the meal tickets, but we were in the first grade of high school at the time. We have been inseparable, even in college. After graduating from college, Xu Fei found a job in this company. I didn’t know how to start my own business at that time. Was it so easy? It was just a waste of time. There was no result, and I had a lot of debt. Ah, it was a hell of a time in life. When Xu Fei found out, he tried his best to help me pay off the debt, and he was just an employee in the company. , but he tried his best to help me. Later, when he got promoted, he recommended me to his superiors, saying that I was more capable than him. I was so frustrated that it didn’t matter what happened. , and promoted me too. At that time, I thought, 'It's just for Xu Fei, I can't let him down', so I had to work hard to avoid embarrassing him. The personnel changes in the company in the past ten years are not huge at all, but Xu Fei. Fei has always helped me. Whether it was going well at work, whether it was setbacks, whether it was success or failure, that guy always trusted me and supported me unconditionally. You said, being a brother makes people feel good. What can I say? I often think that meeting Xu Fei may be the greatest luck in my life. "

Elden Qi looked at Luo Jing and An Ning's expressions, and then looked at the photo frame in his hand.

Brother...?

Dinner is light medicinal porridge. They were all plants, and the only ones Elden Qi could recognize were tofu and what seemed like carrots and corn kernels. Ethan Luo said that autumn is dry and people tend to get angry easily. This porridge can clear away heat and relieve it.

The taste is light, you don't feel anything when you first take it into your mouth, and the aftertaste becomes more and more fragrant as you drink it. After drinking two bowls, Elden Qi still wanted it, but was stopped by Ethan Luo: "If you like it, I'll cook it for you another day. Don't eat too much at night, it will affect your rest. How about we drink soy milk tomorrow morning?"

Elden Qi put down the bowl reluctantly: "There's no soymilk seller around here."

Ethan Luo put away the dishes and chopsticks: "I soaked the beans. I'll just make a dozen tomorrow morning. The soy milk I bought is mixed with water, which is not good."

Elden Qi burped: "Okay, but what should I eat with it?"

Ethan Luo opened the refrigerator: "I made some steamed buns yesterday, and I will serve them with fried buns tomorrow morning."

Elden Qi cheered, "Qinghe, you are so great!"

Ethan Luo flicked his forehead: "Your 'greatness' is cheap, just feed you."
