Chapter 26: Codonopsis

　　 Her apartment is not big, but she is very tidy.
　　Shen Xifan dropped the schoolbag and explained, "The roommate went to hostfamily's house for dinner. There is chicken soup in the rice cooker and there may be dishes in the refrigerator. If we can't do it, we will go to the student restaurant, but we don't know which one is open."
　　He Suye but didn't smile, let her look confused, just want to ask, the small face was gently pinched, he quipped, "Really fat, little girl!"
　　 The face with anxiety and ruin went down again, but she fell into a warm embrace again. She wanted to struggle out, but there was a man's low voice in her ear, "Be good, don't move, hug me for a while, I'm so tired."
　　
　　 has a faint lemon scent on his body, but exudes helpless fatigue. She can't help but look up at his face carefully, thinner than half a year ago, and there are dark circles around her eyes.
　　 sighed lightly, and the loop of his arm tightened his waist. The question finally asked, "How are you here?"
　　He Suye gently smiled, "Come and see you, I am now at the CVI Institute of Penn University."
　　 "When did you come, why didn't you tell me before?"
　　 "I came to the United States in August, and I wanted to see you at that time. As a result, I received a question. I couldn't find time to exhaust, so I dragged on until now."
　　She whispered, "So this is not a wife and a husband?"
　　Hand gently touched the long hair near the ear, He Suye smiled lowly, "Yes, it is."
　　
　　 They cook dinner together, the oil pan together, Shen Xifan began to worry, "Oh my God! I forgot the apron to lend to the dormitory next door, forget it, I’ll cook!"
He Suye blocked her hand, "It's okay, I'll come, I haven't been cooking for a long time, I don't know if the craftsmanship has deteriorated." Just talking, I knocked the eggs into the pot, and immediately smoked, splashing the starting point Oil star, stained on his white shirt.
　　Shen Xifan gasped, "Oil! Oil! Your shirt is gone!"
"Why the little girl likes to make a fuss." Picking up the cut tomato, he laughed. "No, you don't want a little oil star. Whoever cooks the food does not get a little bit. Go and see the soup in the rice cooker. "
　　Shen Xifan scooped half a bowl of chicken soup according to words, sprinkled a little salt, and served him, "You first taste the saltiness."
　　He Suye was holding a spatula in her left hand and was still adding soy sauce in her right hand. She picked up her toes and carefully passed it to his mouth. He took the spoon and tasted it. "Well, it's almost ready."
　　
　　 She suddenly laughed, pursed her lips anxiously, and turned her face. He Suye had not yet noticed, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
　　 shook her head without answering, but her heart was warm and her eyes were a little moist. She tasted the chicken soup carefully, the salty taste was just right, and the umami jumped at the tip of the tongue. It was unpretentious and endless. The man in front of him is really in love, willing to cook for her, even not to let her touch the rough work.
　　 Just now the word "old man and old wife" suddenly flashed in her mind, so she couldn't help laughing.
It's really such a feeling. When I was with Yan Heng before, it was like two youthful ignorant children, who just wanted to have a romantic and exciting life every day. That way of loving each other was like fireworks in the sky. When it fell, it drew a dazzling trajectory, but no matter how gorgeous it was, it only lasted for a moment.
　　 And life is life, romance and passion can never support love for a lifetime.
　　 is still more suitable for yourself in love in a plain, for example, this warm man should be his cup of tea.
　　
　　 made three dishes, scrambled eggs with tomato, lettuce with oyster sauce, beef tenderloin with green pepper.
　　Shen Xifan sighed while holding vegetables, "I am afraid that this is my first authentic Chinese meal in the United States. A lazy person like me is unwilling to open a party by himself. Every time I go to a student restaurant, I gain weight unconsciously."
　　He Suye carried a piece of beef tenderloin to her, "eat more, see you haven't changed at all, where you are fat, your face is not good, waxy yellow, stay up late every day!"
"You just said I was fat!" She didn't refute angrily and turned to hold a bowl of chicken soup for him. "He Suye, I think you have a bad complexion, panda eyes. How did the doctor set an example? Yeah!"
　　 He took a sip of chicken broth, and then he laughed, "I said that the taste is so familiar, it turned out that the codonopsis was added."
　　Shen Xifan pursed her mouth, "Dangshen was brought from home, and my mother said that Yiqi Shengjin nourishes the blood. After each course, I have to boil a large pot of chicken soup to comfort myself."
　　 "Is it hard to work here?"
　　 "Of course it is hard. Although the tutor is very good, but very strict, there is CareerTrack immediately, and the work experience is not bad, but the theory is always inferior to the students from the science class. How about you?"
　　 "I'm okay, not hard, and the subject is going smoothly."
"I don't believe it. It's very hard to study medicine in the United States. See if you are thin." Shen Xifan only felt sour and didn't have the courage to look at his thin face and scooped a bowl of chicken soup for him. Forcibly cheering, "Drink more, there will be no shop after this village!"
　　The heat of the bowl edge still remains at the fingertips. Shen Xifan suddenly had the urge to cry. There was only one thought in his heart, waiting for the long year to end soon, and then he would not leave him anyway.
　　
　　After eating, Shen Xifan's cravings came back again and said with a smile, "It's still good to eat in your house, and there are desserts after eating, it should be perfect!"
　　He Suye took a closer look at the cupboard and smiled, "It's not that there are some red beans. I'm making a rock candy red bean soup."
　　 She jumped up happily, "I will help you, the rock candy is in the small box at the corner, I will find it."
　　
After stewing the red bean soup and washing the pots and pans, Shen Xifan called his family and He Suye chatted with Qiu Tian online, but Qiu Tian’s typing speed suddenly became extremely slow, and it took a long time before he jumped out a word. There are only a few ten words.
　　He Suye was so tempered by him that he casually clicked on a URL in his favorites. Who would jump out to be a blog, and then take a closer look, huh-that is not a small space for Shen Xifan.
　　 He read the website silently, and immediately wrote it down. Looking at the time, he started writing a long time ago, and clicked into a recent article.
　　 "Later, I slowly learned to be tolerant and considerate, to be kind and to compromise.
　　 There are only two emotions in the world that can be called romantic: one is called mourning, and the other is called forgetting in the rivers and lakes; what we have to do is to strive to cherish the love with the loved ones, and forget the people in the second love with the rivers and lakes.
　　 It is a beautiful word. Endless tolerance and patience, unlimited care and care, boundless tolerance and pampering, and long years of mutual support can only be well-written. "
　　
　　Easy to say — really happy and beautiful words, He Suye meditated in the heart, stared at the screen and stayed awake, until there was a sound, he hurriedly turned off the webpage and found Shen Xifan standing at the window and smiling at him.
　　 Suddenly there was a kind of joy, a kind of impulse, want to let all people in the world know that he has her, he is very happy now.
　　 He Suye stood up and walked to her side and asked seriously, "Will you want to meet my friends, I want to introduce you to them."
　　Shen Xifan laughed, "Why does this school also have your classmates, He Suye, you are really a memory confidant!"
　　 "There is a good friend of high school at the College of Agriculture, commonly known as the Dairy Cow College, there are two university classmates at the Weill Medical College, and one is the College of Veterinary Medicine, both are very powerful people."
　　 nodded solemnly, she replied naughtily, "The supply of meat and milk in the school restaurant depends on the Dairy Cow Academy. I have to go and worship these strongmen!"
　　
　　 Ithaca at night is even quieter. There are not many people in the large campus. The colleges are isolated from each other, only the street lights add some anger. Shen Xifan walked in front of him, bouncing and humming along the way.
　　He Suye looked sweet in her eyes, her long hair fluttered in the wind, her fragrance seemed to be entwined in the four directions, there was an illusory beauty, so beautiful, it was worth his proper collection.
He gently called her name, Shen Xifan looked back and slowed down, and saw that He Suye was in the shadow of the light, straight and strong, or that gentle smiley face, but it made her feel unreal, as if dreaming, all in front of her Flying streamer.
　　 This encounter was simply a dream, which made her cry.
　　 She burst into a bright smile, the light directly hit his heart, both eyes looked at each other's eyes, the atmosphere was already faint.
　　
Suddenly, a shiny thing slipped from her eyes. It turned out to be a silk scarf. Shen Xifan bent over to pick it up. Who wanted to blow a strong wind, the scarf floated from the neck, just wanted to reach out, the scarf quickly went to He Su She immediately laughed on Ye's face.
　　 ran to him to get a scarf back, but he held his hand tightly, and she suddenly felt that the familiar and elegant breath of He Suye was lingering in front of her forehead, and the feather-like touch fell on the corner of her eyes.
The next warm finger flicked across her lips, her eyes glowed with burning emotions, and the sudden kiss was as unexpected as a storm. Xiangjin was slipping between her tongues, and her mind was blank, just closed obediently. The eyes seemed to take for granted.
　　 She forgot to think and didn't want to think, but just instinctively wanted to hug him, tighter, tighter.
　　 It's just that there is a thought in her mind that makes her helplessly score-He Suye is really a very boring man.
　　 But who makes her like it.
　　
　　 She has seen a post before that if a man takes his girlfriend out to meet people in her circle, then she publicly acknowledges the relationship between them, and of course she is a great affirmation of herself.
When she actually saw his group of friends, she was shocked. A group of people had four decks of cards, a table of mahjong fights, and even more strangely, there were Americans present. "Lianzhuang!" All in one! Quan Hu!"
A man is dumping his cards, which looks very much like the "discharge of big money" described in Lu Xun's novels. He sees that He Suye is very excited, "Xiao He, come on, come on, I have a bad luck today, please help I pull it back!"
　　 Others laughed, "Don't! Your own card is playing by yourself, no helpers are allowed!"
　　He Suye quietly said to her, "This is my roommate, a very nice person."
　　 It was someone with sharp eyes, and at once saw Shen Xifan, whistled immediately, "Beauty! Xiao He, your wife?"
She was amused at once, and felt that it was very kind to see so many Chinese people in a foreign country, and these people are mostly informal people, and Li Jie Qiu Tian's group has a style, an involuntary interface, "No, I still I didn't get it right!"
　　He Suye was staring at her, "I always feel that you don't seem to learn hotel management, sociology and eloquence!"
　　 Shen Xifan smiled cunningly, "You are also very humorous, sometimes!"
　　
Someone immediately shouted, and there was more than one, "Xiao He, it's not interesting enough, if I have such a girlfriend who has long been married to go home and hid, you dare to put her here and run to Penn University yourself , Not kind!"
　　 He Suye couldn't say a word that was blocked, so he had to answer, "I think too, but I don't know if she can't agree."
　　 A group of people coaxed, "Beauty, Xiao He is a proposal in disguise, do you want to consider it all at once!"
　　Shen Xifan was embarrassed, don't look away, someone immediately interfaced, "Silent means to acquiesce, so many of us are witnesses, and we will have to ask for a glass of wine when the time comes!"
He turned to He Suye for help, who knew he didn't justify it, just took her hand and smiled, and introduced him one by one to his friends. "These two are Will College of Medicine, university classmates, Ben and Chris." After a round of introduction, I thought about it and added a sentence to everyone, "Forgot to say, my girlfriend, Shen Xifan, now reading MMH, I hope everyone will take care of me!"
　　 Laughed, someone immediately packed the ticket, "Everyone is a fellow, just say anything, usually buy a thing to carry a refrigerator sofa is absolutely a response, don't be embarrassed!"
　　 A bigger laugh, "Old Song, you were lazy to carry a box of juice last time upstairs, why is it so hard this time!"
　　 The man hurriedly replied, "They are the wife of Xiao He, can you not be attentive, I also expect him to play cards to help me turn over today!"
　　
They were ready to go after playing cards very late. A group of people sent a long way in a mighty way. They walked side by side at the end. Shen Xifan was curious, "He Suye, I found that you can do almost anything, and playing cards is so powerful. ."
　　 He smiled, "The best gamblers are mathematicians, and my math is pretty good, so playing with them is more than enough, but if you play with professionals, it won't work."
　　 Shen Xifan pouted, "I can't, I can't even learn it. My hobby is "sleeping and waking up naturally, counting money and cramps in my hands". I learned art and calligraphy when I was a kid, and I have almost forgotten now."
　　 "My grandfather loves calligraphy. He often dances and paints at home. Will I take you to see you next time?"
　　 "Don't let me go to shame, my words are ugly!"
　　 "Actually, I mean that..." He Suye hesitated, "The thing they said tonight..."
　　Shen Xifan froze for a moment, then reacted immediately, still pretending to be blank, and smiled, "What's the matter, make it clear, you don't say how do I know?"
　　
　　 He was asked without any idea at all, and he didn't know how to express it. He had always been calm, but he was a little helpless, and he said it in his heart. "I mean marriage, have you ever thought about it?"
Unexpectedly, He Suye answered so directly. Shen Xifan's face turned red, and he had to lower his head so that he couldn't say anything. He gripped her palm with a little sweat and still smiled faintly, "I know Suddenly, but I thought about it myself, so I took the opportunity to ask you today.
　　Shen Xifan's heartbeat was so strong, Zhiwu for a while, "That...I think about it?"
　　 The voice of the room was not falling, so the roommate walking in front of him shouted, "Xiao He, I'm leaving, long story short, or go back and talk again!"
　　Everyone laughed and teased him one after another. "Come over and play when you are free. If you want to say something to your wife, please ignore our existence if you want to kiss other people!" A group of people said so, but their wits spread.
Shen Xifan was embarrassed and blushed. He Suye gently shoved her broken hair away and whispered, "I'm leaving, you think about it, and reply to me at the latest in March, and, Take a good rest, don't get too tired."
　　Nodded her head and replied solemnly, "I know." Then added a sentence, "Remember to call me when you get home, now there is no need to hide!"
　　 He Suye smiled, his brows stretched more and more heroic, "I didn't do it on purpose, well, I'm leaving!"
　　Release her clenched hands, Shen Xifan smiled and watched him get in the car, and then the car drove out of the campus and disappeared in a blink of an eye. She still stood on the spot and smiled slightly. She thought that the smile when she parted with him must be very free and happy.
　　Unspeakable "Goodbye", then don't say it.
　　
　　 She went to the library and searched for some materials again. It had been more than an hour before she recovered, remembering to make an appointment with his phone and hurried back.
　　 As she walked back along the path, her heart was full of sweet taste, and the steps under her feet became lighter and lighter.
Suddenly, there was a clear and loud voice behind her, and in the quiet campus, more and more scary, she hurriedly turned her head, but saw a pair of men and women not far away, the man stood in the same place with the face covered, the woman turned and ran Far.
She wanted to pass by with a smile. Who knows that when she sees the man's close face, she can no longer laugh. The red fingerprints are striking and startling. She quickly asked, "Lin Yishen, what's going on!" "
　　Lin Yi smiled deeply, "I'm so embarrassing like this, and I've been seen by you. Forget it, do you have ice cubes to put on your face, or I won't be able to go out to meet people tomorrow."
　　Shen Xifan sighed, "Yes, yes, but I can't keep you for no reason. I have to tell me what's going on!"
　　
　　 Back to the dormitory, Shen Xifan asked for ice cubes, "What's going on?"
Lin Yishen waved his hand, "Small accidents, short stories, it's actually very simple. My family found me a family member without permission." He took the cold towel handed over by Shen Xifan and put on his face with a hissing sigh. "Then I didn't agree, so I slapped a big lady and said that I wanted to be gracious. Forget it. If I really broke my slap, I would get the money back."
　　Shen Xifan laughed, "Who knows if your family made it or you made it yourself, no man can believe it!"
　　Lin Yi stared at her deeply, "I speak a sentence that is true, and if there is a half-truth, it will die out."
　　Shen Xifan shook his head and questioned, "There are still half lies in the world, it's just fooling!"
　　
　　 Suddenly the phone rang, and she jumped up and shouted, "I'll answer my phone."
　　Lin Yishen joked, "Go slowly, the phone won't run away, it won't be the boyfriend, so positive!"
　　Shen Xifan smiled and heard the phone, and there was a familiar voice over there, "I'm back in the dormitory, didn't I wake you up?"
　　 "No, I just returned to the dormitory!" She just said that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, and quickly explained, "I saw a senior brother before, and it was delayed after a little more talk, so I just came back."
　　 There was only a smile, "Don't be so nervous, I didn't say anything about you, but I was worried about your safety. Go to bed earlier, little girl, so good night."
　　 She vaguely said "Good night", and then she put the phone on, suddenly suddenly annoyed-wanted to say a few words with him, but she didn't know where to start. With a soft sigh, the woman's IQ will drop when she falls in love.
　　
　　 came from behind Lin Yishen’s quiet voice, "Little Sister, I saw that the new man smiled and didn't hear the old man cry. If you have a boyfriend, you would leave my brother behind me.
　　 Shen Xifan raised her eyebrows, "How do you know, as if I didn't say so directly when I rejected you?"
"When I saw it in the supermarket, the two held hands with affectionate affection." Lin Yi pouted, but his expression was relieved. "I knew it then, and I saw it today. Everyone on earth knows it, only you don't know it." we know."
　　She was silent, took the towel, "Would you like to change it for you?"
　　Lin Yishen stood up, reaching out and rubbing her head lovingly, "Sister, hold on well, you are not small anymore, and you will have to step into the ranks of older women without considering lifelong events."
　　Shen Xifan, don't look away, "No serious words!"
　　 He smiled, "I'm not kidding, by the way, what's so delicious in your kitchen?"
　　 She reacted at once, "Oh, it's red bean soup, would you like a bowl?"
　　
　　 The fragrant red bean soup came up, Lin Yi took a deep breath and exclaimed, "It is a blessing to be able to drink such an authentic soup in a foreign country."
Shen Xifan sighed softly and said to him, "Sometimes I feel that this is too beautiful and unreal, but I try hard to grasp it, but I admonish myself to let it go. I am fortunate; not fortunate. Maybe as many people say, love is like sand. The tighter you catch, the faster you leak."
"Nonsense!" Lin Yi patted her head deeply. "It's red beans. It's firmly grasped. It can't be missed. Although there are some hands, it keeps you in mind. When the fire arrives, the water boils and throws away. Entering is red bean soup, a soup made by acacia, and then the love of the two can be regarded as a positive result."
　　
　　Shen Xifan smiled slightly, and she suddenly felt that many things were natural, love or marriage, it was time, she should have come, all this should come down to fate.
　　Even if she met him on the tail of youth, she didn't feel late, because the fire was coming, and the result was repaired.
　　 About that reply, she secretly had an idea.
