The next day, the four girls slept until they woke up naturally. Carrying their bags, they headed to Xu Yin's small restaurant while chatting and laughing.

Dad Xu received a call from his daughter yesterday and prepared the ingredients she needed.

Seeing his daughter coming with her dormitory classmates, he took out the snacks and snacks he had prepared in advance to entertain them: "Relax after the exam and tell your uncle what you want to eat."

"Dad, I agreed to make it for them. The store is not busy at the moment, so you can sit down and take a rest."

They arrived early, before lunch time, and many college students had gone home after taking exams. There were not many people visiting here. Office workers in nearby business buildings all chose to order takeaways, such as grilled fish, after winter. , chicken soup, etc., there is very little take-out business. There are many competing merchants such as stir-fry, and Xu’s father is not very good at advertising, so there are not many take-out orders. During this time before the year, the store was relatively quiet.

Father Xu simply gave Xiao Wu, Fatty Sister-in-law and other helpers an early holiday so that they could go back to their hometowns early for the New Year. Therefore, recently, Father Xu is in charge of the store, doing the purchasing and cashiering, and also doing the washing and chopping of vegetables. . He ran a store by himself.

 Xu Yin also learned on the phone yesterday that all the employees in the store were on vacation. She thought that if Xu’s father didn’t close the store, she would come to the store to read books tomorrow.

Father Xu was making tea for them. When he heard what she said, he smiled cheerfully and replied: "Okay, you can make whatever you want to eat. The dishes have been prepared for you and are on the chopping board."

The air conditioner was on in the store. Xu Yin took off her down jacket, put on an apron and entered the kitchen.

 “Ding Dong—Welcome!”

As the electronic sound sounded, the thick thermal door curtain was lifted.

Two men walked in wearing windproof hats and masks, and black down jackets with collars raised to their chins.

"Want to eat? Sit wherever you like!" Father Xu put the kettle that made tea on his daughter's classmate's table, turned around and greeted him.

Just as he was about to lead the two of them to sit at the table for four by the window, he suddenly saw one of the men winking at him. He was stunned for a moment and whispered happily: "Take a photo?"

 “We were passing by here and stopped by for something to eat.”

 “Did you not have breakfast again?”

Dad Xu couldn't help scolding his sons. After they took off their coats and sat down, he lowered the bamboo curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows to block out the light, and went to bring a pot of tea and a box of snacks over for them to fill their bellies first.

"Don't worry, I put up the closure sign and I won't take any other orders at noon today. That table is for Yin Yin's classmates. Yin Yin is cooking in the kitchen, so she insists on cooking for her classmates."

 “She is cooking?” Jiang Zhaoyu was stunned.

“Yes.” Dad Xu couldn’t help laughing when he saw his expression, “That girl has learned a lot of food without telling us!”

　　　…”

Xu Yin learned that Jiang Zhaoyu was coming when Father Xu came to the kitchen, and he was accompanied by a friend.

"Yin Yin, take out the fried vegetables first, and dad will do the rest."

“Dad, let’s give the casserole rice noodles to my brother’s table first. He hasn’t had breakfast yet? You can serve them first when the grilled fish is ready. Anyway, it’s quick to bake another one.”

“No need to grill fish. According to reports, they don’t like spicy food. I gave them grilled strips of king oyster mushrooms with sauce.”

Xu Yin sent the casserole rice noodles without spicy food to Jiang Zhaoyu's table: "Brother, you guys should eat a bowl of rice noodles first to cushion your stomach. Dad is making other dishes and they will be served shortly."

Today she cooked a large portion of garlic grilled fish, a stone pot bullfrog and boiled pork slices, all of which were slightly spicy.

Jiang Zhaoyu nodded towards her and motioned for her to eat first and ignore them.

“Xu Yin, who are those two people?”

 Qian Mingyue and the other three have been sizing up Jiang Zhaoyu and his friends. Although the masks have not yet been taken off, their body shape and height have touched the girl's heart.

 When Xu Yin finished serving the dishes and sat down, she couldn't help but whisper in her ear.

"It's my brother and his friends." Xu Yin winked at the three of them, "Don't tell anyone."

"oh oh."

 The three of them nodded, but they were confused: Since they were her brothers, why couldn't they tell others?

Xu Yin poured drinks for the three of them, turned to the table and asked: "Brother, what do you want to drink?"

Jiang Zhaoyu was lowering his head to clamp rice noodles, but He Shi beside him raised his eyes and looked over, his deep eyes falling straight into Xu Yin's eyes.

When Jiang Zhaoyu handed the rice noodles to He, he asked by the way: "What do you want to drink?"

 “Just water.”

He Shi said and took off his mask.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Qian Mingyue and the others saw his face clearly, straightened their backs and took a breath:

 “He, he, he…he, he, he…”

    “Pinch me quickly, am I not dreaming?”      …”

Xu Yin looked at each other suspiciously, then at her roommate: "Do you all know him?"

Zhao Wenyi choked on her drink: "That's He Shi! Don't say you don't recognize it!"

Chen Lu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Have you lost your memory? Didn't you even recognize He Shi?"

 Xu Yin: “…”

 He turned around and looked at the other person again, never expecting to meet his eyes again.

She was slightly startled. The other person felt too familiar to her, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

As Father Xu served grilled fish to the two tables, Jiang Zhaoyu and both of them took off their masks and started eating.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Xu Yin heard several gasps coming from beside her, and then her sleeves were pulled several times by her roommate.

 “He he he…jiangjiangjiang…”

As soon as Xu Yin looked up, she saw her three roommates dumbfounded, as if they were petrified.

 “What’s the matter? That’s my brother.”

 The three of them lowered their heads and questioned her in a low voice:

"I'll go...is Jiang Zhaoyu really your brother?"

 “A brother listed in the household registration book?”

 “Yeah, didn’t you always know?”

　　　…”

 What do you know? You know!

 They always thought...

 Ouch! It’s really killing me!

Had they known that Jiang Zhaoyu was really Xu Yin's brother, then they...

 Hey, wait—

 “Why is your brother’s surname Jiang and your surname Xu? Your uncle’s surname is also Xu?”

Xu Yin explained lightly: "His surname is his mother's surname."

"oh."

“It’s good for you to know about this matter and don’t publicize it outside.”

Qian Mingyue couldn't help complaining: "We have said it, but someone has to believe it. From the time you said it in freshman year to now, we have lived in the same dormitory for a year and a half. Isn't it only today that we saw the real person and believed it?"

　　　…”

Too.

 These days, there are too many fans who call their idols “brother”.

Qian Mingyue and the others were absent-minded. They took a bite of the food and glanced at the table next door, as if they were just preparing the meal for the two people next door.

 Xu Yin raised her forehead and said, "You guys remind me of a certain idiom."

 “Which one?”

 “Beautiful and delicious.”

　　　…”

"Cough cough cough..." Jiang Zhaoyu coughed violently, and his handsome face turned red.

He Shi next to him poured him a glass of water and glanced at Xu Yin with a half-smile.

 Xu Yin: “…”

 What happened? Isn’t it interesting to disturb a lake of spring water with your good looks and charm?

"Your sister is quite interesting." He Shi looked back and whispered to Jiang Zhaoyu, "How can you take sertraline when you have such a good family?"
