Chapter 529 Bitter Life
The sky... has it always been like this?
Qi Xia slowly frowned.
Isn't this a normal sky?
But why do I always feel strange?
"Xia!" Yu Nian'an's voice came from the kitchen, "How about bitter melon, eggs and ham?"
"Bitter melon... eggs... fried ham?" Qi Xia walked out of the room step by step and slowly moved towards the kitchen.
When he heard these three words, his eyes were already wet.
Qi Xia stood outside the kitchen, looking at the busy figure, showing a very painful smile.
"An..."
"Ah?" Yu Nian'an turned around, as if startled, "What are you doing? Why did you come behind me without making a sound..."
The next second, Qi Xia walked up and hugged the person in front of him fiercely.
"Ah!"
Yu Nian'an was startled, and didn't know what to do for a moment. She also wanted to hug Qi Xia, but her hands were stained with water from washing vegetables.
"My hands are dirty..." Yu Nian'an whispered, "Xia, did you have a nightmare?"
"I don't remember..." Qi Xia choked, "But everything is fine now... I feel fine..."
"Ah! I remember!" Yu Nian'an said apologetically, "Xia, I forgot that you said you don't like bitter melon and ham... I won't make it for you, but don't cry."
"No... This is the best..." Qi Xia hugged Yu Nian'an tightly, "I'm really scared... I'm afraid you will walk into the kitchen and make the dishes I want in my mind... I'm afraid you will do all the actions I like..."
Yu Nian'an obviously didn't understand, she reached out and patted Qi Xia: "Be good, Xia... Why are you always like a child? I just have a bad memory. There is only bitter melon left in the house... I want to make do with a meal..."
Qi Xia was silent for a long time before slowly letting go of Yu Nian'an, his eyes were already red.
"Xia?" Yu Nian'an called out again tentatively, "Then can we eat scrambled eggs today?"
"Anything is fine..." Qi Xia said tremblingly, "Even if I have to eat bitter melon every day in the future, I will swallow it without hesitation."
"You are so weird!" Yu Nian'an laughed, "If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why force yourself?"
"I..." Qi Xia was about to speak, but found that the nearby wall was covered with cracks.
Countless fragments of memory flashed through his mind, making him feel a little dazed.
My home... When did there become so many cracks?
Wait a minute... Has my room always been dilapidated?
"I..." Qi Xia hesitated several times, wanting to tell Yu Nian'an that he felt weird, but he didn't know what was weird.
At this time, his brain seemed to be entangled by countless dark clouds. No matter what he wanted to think about, it would eventually lead to a fog.
"Be good." Yu Nian'an said softly, "You go out and sit first, I'll come in a while."
Qi Xia nodded like a puppet, then walked out of the room and sat down next to the single dining table.
The smell in the air was strange, as if something in the house had died and had been there for a long time.
"It's time to clean the house..." Qi Xia touched the table in front of him and found that it was covered with a layer of dust.
The wall here was cracked, and the table and window glass were covered with dust. It seemed that he was too lazy and didn't even clean up.
After a while, the sound of the ignition stove turning off came from the kitchen, followed by the sound of the range hood turning off, and Yu Nian'an walked out with a plate of steaming scrambled eggs.
"Xia! Let you enjoy your food!" Yu Nian'an laughed, "I accidentally dropped the salt shaker into the pot when I was scrambling eggs just now... Hehehe..."
Qi Xia felt a little incredible when he saw the plate in front of him.
Seeing Yu Nian'an this time... seems to be a little different from seeing her before?
Yu Nian'an handed a pair of chopsticks that were about to rot and break to Qi Xia.
After Qi Xia took it, he picked up a piece of trembling scrambled eggs and put it into his mouth.
It was very salty.
But he still tasted it carefully and then swallowed it.
Things that are too sweet are never life. It is life that is hard to swallow but has feelings that are hard to give up.
"An... don't you want to eat it?"
"I'm losing weight." Yu Nian'an laughed, "But this thing is so bad... I guess I won't eat it... hehe."
Qi Xia nodded after hearing it, picked up the plate, and put it into his mouth in big mouthfuls.
There was too much salt in the scrambled eggs, and some of them were not even fried. They were extremely salty and bitter in the mouth, and fell into the stomach with a squeaky sound. This didn't look like a dish, but it was right.
She couldn't make the taste exactly the same as what she had in her mind, only this was right.
How could Yu Nian'an's cooking skills be as good as imagined?
Qi Xia ate the salty and bitter scrambled eggs while tears filled her eyes. This was the taste of life in her imagination. gōΠb.ōγg
No matter how bitter the food she swallowed was, Yu Nian'an was always by her side.
Even if the days they spent together were not rich or comfortable, they were at least happy.
Even if they were just eating a plate of sand, they might have smiled contentedly.
But why... why was such a life always a luxury?
When this thought came to his mind, Qi Xia was slightly stunned, and then turned to look at Yu Nian'an.
Wait a minute, Yu Nian'an is right beside him, how can this idea be a luxury?
Qi Xia put down the chopsticks, reached out to wipe his mouth, and his eyes never left Yu Nian'an.
"Uh..." Yu Nian'an smiled, "Xia, is it too bad? This is the first time I see you crying after eating something I made... I promise I will never..."
"An." Qi Xia interrupted, "Are you happy?"
"Me?" Yu Nian'an paused for a moment, "Why am I not happy?"
"Do you want to be with me forever?"
"Of course!" Yu Nian'an smiled, "Haven't we planned the future? In the future, you can find a decent job. You are so smart, there will be no problem! I will polish your shoes and tie your tie every day, and then prepare meals for you to come home!"
"Really..." Qi Xia's voice choked again.
"Although we have nothing now, we can buy things one by one! Let's buy a microwave oven in the first month, so that my Xia doesn't have to eat cold meals all the time. Let's buy a robot vacuum cleaner in the second month, so that I can be lazy, hehe! Let's buy a big refrigerator in the third month..."
Yu Nian'an smiled happily as he spoke: "Xia, in the future, our warm little home will be filled with all kinds of furniture. When I have time, I will buy some decorations to decorate the house. You can't think I'm spending money indiscriminately..."
"But what if I wake up..."
Qi Xia's tears burst out in an instant.
"What..."
"An, what should I do if I wake up?" Qi Xia grabbed her hair in pain, "Will you stand there waiting for me..."
