The next day happened to be Sunday and it was also the day that Li Jingjing said she would come over.
Mother Wang went out early in the morning to buy a lot of fresh vegetables and meat, as if she was going to treat them well.
Yang Cheng did not deliberately avoid her and watched the television downstairs, waiting for Li Jingjing to come over.
What made Yang Cheng feel surprised was that Lin Ruoxi was also wearing an apron and was busy with something with Mother Wang in the kitchen, as if they were going to cook.
Although he did not dare compliment Lin Ruoxi's cooking skills, Yang Cheng treated it as if she was playing around and did not think too much about it.
When it was almost noon, the doorbell rang.
Lin Ruoxi hurriedly ran to the door in her plush slippers and opened it. At this time, she was much more humane than usual as she welcomed Li Jingjing with a smile. It was clear that her feelings for Li Jingjing were very good.
Li Jingjing, who was wearing a white down jacket, walked into the room like a flower. The girl seemed to have matured a lot, and the intellectual temperament of a teacher also carried a bit of charm.
Yang Chen watched as Lin Ruoxi held Li Jingjing's hand and said a lot of intimate words to her. Contrary to her usual taciturn attitude, he felt that it was a little unbelievable. He secretly thought that their relationship had improved too quickly. However, he didn't know that Lin Ruoxi had been secretly learning cooking skills from Li Jingjing.
"Ya, Jingjing, why did you bring things?" When Lin Ruoxi saw the bag in Li Jingjing's hand, she complained: "Didn't I say that I would treat you to a meal today? Why did you bring things?"
"It's my first time here, so of course I have to pay attention to my etiquette!" Li Jingjing smiled and said: "Big sister Lin, I'm sure you don't lack anything, so I didn't bring anything else. I only brought some dried vegetables that I made at home. It would be good for stewing meat."
When Lin Ruoxi heard this, she smiled and took the bag before leading Li Jingjing to the sofa in the living room to sit down.
"Yang Cheng, Jingjing is a guest. Why aren't you getting up to greet her?" Lin Ruoxi saw that Yang Cheng was sitting there watching the news, so she frowned and said in displeasure.
Yang Cheng smiled at Shanshan and greeted Li Jingjing, "Welcome, Miss Li."
Hearing Yang Cheng call her "Miss Li", Li Jingjing's face turned slightly pale, but she forced a smile and nodded.
Lin Ruoxi didn't notice anything strange and just thought that Li Jingjing was shy. She said to Li Jingjing, "I'm helping Mother Wang cook. We'll be able to eat soon."
"Why don't I go and help too?"
Just as Li Jingjing was about to get up, Lin Ruoxi held her back. "No need. I told you to eat my cooking."
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi was very stubborn, Li Jingjing didn't say anything more and sat down with a smile.
When Lin Ruoxi ran back to the kitchen, Li Jingjing and Yang Cheng were sitting on the sofa. They were very close to each other, but they seemed to be incomparably distant.
Yang Cheng was also quite emotional. Not long ago, the two seemed to be very close. But now, he had cruelly drawn a line between the two of them. But this was also for the good of Old Li's family, so he could only harden his heart.
Li Jingjing's eyes were staring at the TV screen, but she didn't pay any attention to the news. Her mind was in a mess and her eyes were filled with a complicated look.
The two sat quietly for almost half an hour. Mother Wang and Lin Ruoxi in the kitchen brought out the dishes and called Yang Cheng and Li Jingjing to eat.
Yang Cheng turned off the TV and walked over alone. Li Jingjing tidied up her depressed expression and also walked to the table and sat down.
Mother Wang politely welcomed, "Miss Li, it's your first time here. Don't stand on ceremony. Eat more."
Li Jingjing didn't seem to be anything strange. She smiled quietly and responded.
The sumptuous dishes on the table looked very dazzling. Yang Cheng didn't say much and buried his head in the rice and ate in big mouthfuls.
Lin Ruoxi saw that Yang Cheng was eating very happily. She also ate a bit of every dish and was quite satisfied with the taste.
At this time, Yang Cheng vaguely praised, "Mother Wang's cooking is always so delicious. You can't blame me for eating so fast. I really can't stop."
Mother Wang chuckled and said, "Young Master, today's dishes weren't cooked by me."
Yang Cheng stared blankly and looked at Lin Ruoxi in astonishment, "Darling Ruoxi, did you cook all of it?"
Being called like this by Yang Cheng in front of Li Jingjing, Lin Ruoxi's face couldn't help but turn red. She rebuked in her heart and said, "Can't I?"
This time, Yang Cheng had a whole new level of respect for her. "You improved so much in such a short time?"
Lin Ruoxi said with a bit of arrogance, "Isn't it just cooking? I learned from Li Jingjing a few times. As long as I learn seriously, it's not difficult."
Yang Cheng felt a faint warmth in his heart. This woman actually secretly learned cooking from Li Jingjing behind his back. Although she was a little silly, she was also very cute.
No wonder his relationship with Li Jingjing deepened so quickly. It turned out that they had become master and disciple in cooking.
"Big Sister Lin is very talented. I actually didn't teach her much." Li Jingjing praised in a timely manner, but there was a bit of bitterness in her eyes. Seeing the intimate interaction between Lin Ruoxi and Yang Cheng, she clearly didn't feel good.
Half an hour later, lunch was over. Yang Cheng pretended to yawn a few times and used the excuse of taking a nap to go upstairs to his bedroom.
But in reality, when he saw Li Jingjing's occasional resentful gaze, Yang Cheng always felt bad in his heart.
Lin Ruoxi unhappily rolled her eyes at him, "Other than eating, I only sleep."
It seemed that she was addicted to doing housework. Lin Ruoxi followed Mother Wang into the kitchen to wash the dishes and let Li Jingjing watch TV in the living room.
Li Jingjing sat on the sofa for a while. After a few minutes, she seemed to have made a decision. She took a deep breath and stood up, walking towards the stairs.
She walked all the way to the second floor and walked to the bedroom that Yang Chen entered. Thud, thud. Thud.
A brief moment later, the door opened. Yang Cheng wasn't asleep and was still wearing a sweater. When he saw Li Jingjing standing by the door, he was left speechless.
Li Jingjing's face was filled with resentment as she looked at Yang Cheng, "Big Brother Yang, can I say a few words to you?"
Yang Chen's heart softened when he saw the girl's expectant look. He took a few steps back and allowed Li Jingjing to enter the room. He turned around to avoid looking at her face and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
When Li Jingjing entered, she did not close the door and sobbed, "Big Brother Yang, are you really going to be so heartless?"
"It's not that I'm heartless, but it's the most suitable choice in my eyes. I believe that you understand what your father said back then." Yang Cheng sighed, "You are a good girl, I know that, but I also know that you still have parents, and they don't want to see you like that."
"But Big Brother Yang, have you ever thought that even if you really cut off all ties with me and pretend not to know me at all, can I really let my parents live in satisfaction?" Li Jingjing said with a sad smile.
Yang Cheng did not turn around. Hearing Li Jingjing's words, Yang Cheng was silent. His mind was in a mess. Too many memories of Li Jingjing's past appeared in his mind.
From the time he first met her after returning to the country, from the shy and timid girl who followed him and called him big brother, to the mature and independent female teacher. Although it was only a year, their feelings had taken root and sprouted. It was like a flame facing the wind, difficult to suppress.
He still remembered walking home at night, and the girl secretly watching him leave from the window.
He still remembered accompanying her to parties and watching him sing and smiling sweetly.
"I only want love, I only want Big Brother Yang to pay attention to me and only love me … But, the only thing I want is also the only thing I can't get …"
He still remembered that evening when the sun was setting, the girl's ethereal and soft voice still echoed in his ears.
Just when Yang Cheng was lost in his thoughts and lost himself, he felt a soft body sticking to his back. A pair of delicate arms wrapped around his waist from behind.
Li Jingjing buried her head in Yang Cheng's back, sticking close to him, and whispered to herself, "Big Brother Yang, I can't forget. We've been through so much, and you've done so much for me. How can I forget you? How can you choose to cut off my feelings for you like this?
I can't forget for even a day that you dealt with Chen Dehai and Chen Feng for me. You took me to buy clothes and said that I was your princess. You went to the party with me and sang in front of me … "
Yang Cheng wanted Li Jingjing to remove her hands from his body, but he was afraid that this action would make the girl's heart completely turn to ashes and hurt her too much.
"Jingjing, let's have a good talk. This isn't a question of whether you want to or not." Yang Cheng sighed and said.
Li Jingjing's mood suddenly became a little agitated and loudly said, "No! Big Brother Yang, how can you reject me like this!? Did you forget that day when you were in my house, I was taking a bath, but you rushed in … You, how can you be so cruel to me!? "
"Clang clang clang …"
The crisp sound of porcelain shattering rang out at the door.
Yang Cheng suddenly woke up. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear someone coming up the stairs to the door!
Turning his head in shock, Yang Cheng was stunned.
He saw Lin Ruoxi standing at the door with a face full of panic, grief, and despair. She covered her mouth with one hand and tightly gripped her apron with the other. The tears in her eyes didn't fall.
On the floor, there were broken porcelain pots and freshly cut fruits. All of them were scattered on the ground. It was a complete mess.
"Sister Lin …" Li Jingjing let go of Yang Cheng's hand. Like a child who had done something wrong, she drooped her head and shrunk to the side.
"Ruoxi, we …"
"Don't say it! I don't want to hear it! "
Lin Ruoxi quickly turned around and ran away. Soon, there was a loud sound of the door closing. Obviously, she ran back to her room and closed the door.
Yang Cheng was stunned for a long time. He turned around and looked at Li Jingjing, who didn't say a word and seemed to have exhausted all her strength. With a complicated expression, he said, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
