Xiao Heng turned his head and said to Li Yuling: "Sweep the pot and put in clean water."

"Okay." Li Yuling immediately went to find the pot, rolled up his sleeves, brushed, and the speed was set, brought the pot over, and hung it over the bonfire with Xiao Heng.

When throwing ingredients into the pot, Xiao Heng suddenly reached out and grasped the back of Li Yuling's hand.

Li Yuling felt that the whole arm was going to be stiff.

He is...

"Don't rush to throw them all in." Xiao Heng's voice sounded above Li Yuling's head: "After the fire has boiled for a while, throw it away, so that the taste of the ingredients will be good."

After Xiao Heng said this, he did not let go, and the two of them shook hands half-naturally and half-stiffly.

Seeing this scene in Lin Jieke's eyes, it was really dazzling.

Xiaodou gently pushed Lin Jieke with his hand, and Lin Jieke snorted and looked away.

The water finally boiled, and Xiao Heng slowly let go of Li Yuling's hand.

Only then did Li Yuling regain his feelings.

The fingers moved, and the rough and practical texture remaining on the back of the hand seemed to never leave.

Li Yuling silently threw the ingredients into the pot, watching the ingredients tumbling and rising in the thick white soup, just like her mood at this time, up and down, up and down.

Lin Jieke and Xiaodou were pulling Xiao Heng into a non-stop chat, and Li Yuling had little room for interruption.

She really couldn't get into those high-end topics.

Although she has a double Ph.D. degree, her life in addition to studying and experimenting is to take care of her younger sister, and in addition to working hard to make money, taking her younger sister to see a doctor.

For the first thirty years of her life, she had always come here like this.

She never cared that an ordinary Prada woven bag could be tens of thousands, nor did she care that a small bottle of Shiseido water could be thousands.

These things are far, far away from her life, so far away they cannot be touched.

Even if she followed Gu Xixi and became Yin Yinuo's enlightenment teacher, she was still far away from these.

Because she wants to save money to see a doctor for her younger sister, she can't spend money indiscriminately.

Even if it was a set of Estee Lauder that Gu Xixi gave her, she sold it for money and saved it.

This is Li Yuling.

A Li Yuling who is obviously surrounded by a high-class social environment, but who himself has become a poor public.

Therefore, when Lin Jieke and Xiao Heng discussed whether the sunset is more beautiful or the morning sun is more beautiful, this dialectical thing is actually the same thing in Li Yuling's eyes.

The food cooked quickly, and the aroma was so full that all four people in the room felt their stomachs growl.

When they finally finished the topic, Li Yuling had already prepared dinner for the others.

When Li Yuling brought the dinner to Xiao Heng, Xiao Heng immediately took it with both hands: "Thank you."

Li Yuling smiled and shook his head.

Lin Jieke couldn't help but said sourly: "Since I don't know anything, I don't know anything, so I'm suitable for these cooking jobs!"

Li Yuling raised her eyebrows, but didn't refute anything.

Xiao Heng put down the bowl in his hand and asked seriously, "Which university did you graduate from?"

"I graduated from **** science and engineering." Lin Jieke proudly said: "Don't think I am a science student, but I have studied photography specifically."

"Oh, is it? Then do you know what degree she is?" Xiao Heng said, pointing to Li Yuling.

Lin Jieke glanced at Li Yuling and mumbled: "It's probably not much higher. At most a junior college from a third-rate university."

Xiaodou reached out and pulled Linjieke's clothes, Linjieke looked back at Xiaodou, Xiaodou said nothing.

Lin Jieke didn't know Li Yuling, Xiaodou had seen Li Yuling's photo in an academic magazine!

Just now Xiaodou always felt that Li Yuling was familiar, but could not remember where she had seen it.

Until Xiao Heng asked that, Xiaodou suddenly remembered that Li Yuling was indeed familiar!

More than familiar!

That academic special issue is at the national level!

He wanted to remind Lin Jieke, but when Lin Jieke glared at him, Xiaodou suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.

Xiao Heng laughed suddenly, and his smile was very bold.

Li Yuling sighed and said, "Forget it, don't say it."

Going on is to slap in the face.

No need.

It was originally a stranger, so there was no need to slap her face.

However, because Lin Jieke liked Xiao Heng too much, he was anxious to step down on Li Yuling and raise himself. He did not accept Li Yuling's kindness. Instead, he had to keep an inch: "Just tell me! Can you be higher than me?"

Li Yuling sighed softly without speaking.

Xiao Heng replied slowly: "It's really higher than you. In fact, her education is higher than mine."

Lin Jieke screamed: "Impossible!"

Xiaodou on one side couldn't help it, and asked Li Yuling: "Are you Li Yuling who published the topic of marine life skeleton research in an international academic journal?"

Li Yuling looked at him in surprise: "Do you know me?"

Xiaodou looked at her with admiration: "It turned out to be you! I read your article, which is said to fill a gap in marine biology research! I admire you so much! I heard that you are a plant and the ocean. Doctor Double?"

Li Yuling smiled and nodded: "Land plants and the ocean are actually closely related. When I was studying botany, I minored in marine biology, and then I switched to marine biology after graduation."

Lin Jieke opened his mouth wide and his face was incredulous: "How is it possible?!"

Xiao Heng smiled: "However, this is the truth!"

Lin Jieke looked at Li Yuling in horror.

Such a scumbag woman turned out to be a doctor of two materials?

It's hot, his worldview will be subverted!

Li Yuling smiled helplessly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

Puff, Xiao Heng couldn't hold back, he laughed loudly.

So, for the next dinner, Lin Jieke finally stopped.

Even if he wanted to pull Xiao Heng to chat, but after another thought, there was a Doctor of Double Material sitting next to him, and he fainted in an instant.

What is it for thirteen!

How to pretend!

He is a doctor of dual materials, and he has published world-class and national-level academic journals.

He is a little photographer at best, and he hasn't won any awards yet.

Is this a heavyweight?

So, this meal is simply too quiet.

After everyone finished eating quietly, there is no need to look at the stars.

Although they study plants and oceans, they must have studied astronomy and geography in college and high school!

Yes, don't pretend to be forceful.

Slaps on the face hurts!

After eating, Li Yuling and Xiao Heng arrived in the car one after another, probably because they were embarrassed to go to bed now.

You have to be reserved.

Without waiting for Li Yuling to find a way to break the silence, Xiao Heng took the initiative to speak: "Want to know my story?"

Li Yuling was taken aback, then nodded.

"From a very young age, I was selected as Yin Sichen's personal assistant. From that moment on, I, Xiao Heng, is no longer my own, nor is it from the Xiao family, but from the Yin family. Xiao Heng gently picked up the corners of his mouth and said, "I ate and lived with the young master and grew up together, ran into trouble together, skipped classes and escaped together, and were beaten together. Therefore, the young master is a very important person to me."

"It can be said that I am the shadow of the young master. Where he is, I will go wherever he is." Xiao Heng laughed to himself: "However, more than ten years ago, a major event happened. You may have heard about this thing. Few people have mentioned it, but I have to say that this matter is indeed a turning point in our relationship. My husband caused a man-made car accident and ruined this perfect home."

Li Yuling nodded: "I have heard a little bit."

"Yes, that's it. After this incident, I was dereliction of duty, so I followed the arrangements of the young master to go far away, stay incognito, and perform a secret mission. When carrying out this order, I had to survive in order to survive. Go to the underground boxing arena to fight black boxing..." Xiao Heng told Li Yuling of the dark side that he had experienced in the past.

Xiao Heng's words were very few and concise, but he kept everything clear.

"Look, I'm such a person. A man who exists like a shadow." Xiao Heng laughed at himself: "The Yin family is not bad to me and gave me a branch. In fact, I rarely go to ask about that branch. , Most of the time, I still run around, because the young master needs me. As long as he needs me for a day, I will be his shadow, where he points to where I hit. Is this me, would you still like it?"

Listening to Xiao Heng's last sentence, and listening to him directly and frankly picking out the hazy feelings, Li Yuling was slightly uncomfortable.

"We are all in our thirties and we are not young anymore. Those young people are shy, so there is no need." Xiao Heng smiled and said: "I know you have a good impression of me, in fact I also have a good impression of you. If you always have someone to accompany you in your life, if you have no objection..."

Li Yuling looked up at Xiao Heng and looked at him brightly.

Xiao Heng couldn't say anything anymore.

Li Yuling smiled lightly: "If you say you are a shadow, then I am a cloud."

With a light sigh, Li Yuling raised his hand and brushed his forehead hair: "You also know my situation. My parents died early, and I was struggling with my sick sister. I am really content to have my life today. Therefore, I dare not expect anything else. Perhaps the shadow is destined to live on the back of the light, just like the cloud. If your shadow does not dislike me, this cloud is too humble, I want to fight for this cloud of mine You can hide behind your shadow, stealing a floating life for three days."

Xiao Heng also laughed, nodding lightly, "Okay, deal."

Two people look at me, I look at you, and laugh at the same time.

Between the two people, it seems that there is no other person's drama of chasing me and I chasing you.

It's so simple and common to come together often.

Who said that love must be vigorous?

Plain love can actually be very real.

Everyone is very mature.

Understand each other's perseverance and bottom line, you can deal with each other's feelings and lives very maturely.

that's enough.
