MTL - The Sweetest Thing In the World-Chapter 57 Lunar New Year's eve
After reading the last paragraph several times, Xu Mai put his arm on his chin and looked at the screen, but the image of Min Yue typing this line of words appeared in his mind.
She must be angry and aggrieved, like a cat vying for favor, her watery black grape-like eyes stare at you from bottom to top, stretch out her furry paws, and pat you with the pads, so that You look at it and only at it.
Other cats and dogs are not allowed to touch, they can only rub me.
Pet me, fast, right now.
Xu Mai laughed out loud, her little apprentice was so cute that it was impossible to resist.
Rolling the mouse, I looked at the two photos carefully. From the background, it can be seen that they were all taken at Min Yue's house.
Sauce beef, fish-flavored eggplant, Kung Pao chicken, braised pork, vinegared cabbage, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, hot and sour potato shreds... thick oily red sauce, attractive color, just looking at it is mouth watering. She is using facts to prove that she really knows how to cook, and that she has all kinds of home-cooked dishes at her fingertips, not just talking.
Xu Mai also clipped a thermometer for himself, took it out and looked at it, it was 36 degrees 2, 0.5 degrees lower than Min Yue. Xu Mai guessed for a while before realizing that Min Yue wanted to prove that she had a high body temperature and was a naturally warm baby.
From the time she was a student to entering the society, Xu Mai has received various confessions, some are very simple, with only one sentence, and some are very grand, with roses and heart-shaped candles placed all over the floor. She has forgotten what she has experienced. There was no splash in my heart.
However, Min Yue is different.
She felt very hungry when she saw the photos of Jiugongge food, and missed the food Min Yue brought during her hospitalization. When she saw the thermometer, she felt her hands and feet were cold. Remembering that she had a stomachache before, Min Yue helped her warm with her hands. At that time, she was lying beside her, and the continuous heat came from her body, making every pore sigh comfortably.
An empty stomach needs Min Yue, a cold body needs Min Yue, and most importantly, her soul needs Min Yue.
Xu Mai has always thought that she is a person who can endure loneliness. She has no demands on life, but the time with Min Yue's company is happy and warm. She has experienced it, and she can't quit.
Some people have been suffering all their lives, thinking that this is the essence of life, until she meets someone and eats a piece of candy, and then she realizes that life can also be sweet.
Min Yue is her candy.
Every day with Min Yue by my side feels like living in a honeypot.
After chatting with Director Zheng that day, she had considered this matter. She was worried that Min Yue had no thoughts about her other than the friendship between master and apprentice. I was worried that if we separated in the end, one of the parties would have to leave the cardiac surgery department, which would have a negative impact on career and life.
But Min Yue was so sweet and kind, she couldn't bear to let go.
I turned on the TV while eating toast just now, but forgot to turn it off, and it happened to be on a music program. A clear and soft female voice gurgled in from the living room, melodious and affectionate, calling from the bottom of my heart:
Let me love you.
Let me love you.
Xu Mai closed his eyes and sank into the seat.
In the past thirty years, she has been living for her life, sacrificing everything and dedicating everything to heal the sick and the sick, without thinking about herself.
Just this once, please allow me to be selfish and self-willed.
I really, really want to love her.
On the other side of the city, the bustling city center is filled with never-ending neon lights.
The blackout curtains tightly blocked the light from the window. In the darkness, Min Yue's cell phone flickered on and off, then on and off again. She sighed long, why didn't Master reply.
Did you fall asleep and didn't see it? Or have you read it, but you don't want to reply, and you declined me like someone else?
Min Yue turned over, her sadness was like a flood dam, rushing into a river, soon submerging her, almost suffocating.
Min Yue suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up, breathing heavily, but still couldn't relieve the tightness in her chest.
This is simply opening Pandora's box! Why can't I hold back ah ah ah ah!
Others are very cautious in their confessions. They have to choose important dates, look at the almanac, and maybe they will do a fortune teller first. Why am I so impulsive!
With a bang, Min Yue fell back on the pillow, pulled up the quilt to cover her face, and kicked her legs wildly, howling.
Fatty, who was sleeping at the foot of the bed, bounced up in fright, thinking that some monster had entered the bed, aimed at Min Yue's wobbling feet with a paw, but seeing that it didn't work, he gritted his teeth again.
Min Yue let out a miserable cry of pain, so loud that it woke up the voice-activated lights in the corridor.
A minute later, the lights went off again. In the darkness, Min Yue bit the corner of the quilt and groaned miserably. Suddenly, the phone buzzed and vibrated, and Min Yue grabbed it. On the top window, the portrait of the Xumai Maltese dog was pushed to the top row.
Master replied! !
For a while, the blood boiled and the brain exploded. Min Yue opened the chat interface excitedly, and saw this sentence: 【Where are you planning to go for Chinese New Year? 】
Um? ? ? what's the situation? ? ?
Didn't Master see the photo and the last paragraph? impossible.
Min Yue clicked on the word document and checked again, there was no problem, she looked at a loss.
But at least Master didn't ignore me! If you are willing to reply, it means that there is still hope!
Min Yue gave herself an injection of chicken blood, and typed a reply: [I probably won't go out to play, my parents can't leave for work, and they have to visit relatives' houses. 】
After thinking about it, I added another sentence: 【However, I really want to go to the playground. I went there once when I was in college, but I didn’t have time to go there afterwards. I heard that there is a new theme park opened outside the Fourth Ring Road. It's fun to watch other people share their Moments. 】
A few minutes later, Xu Mai replied with one word: [Okay. 】
What does this mean? ? ? Min Yue scratched her head and felt that her IQ was not enough, so she asked for help outside the venue again, and sent a screenshot of the chat history to Shen Fei to ask for her opinion.
After a while, the other party sent a stupid dog expression with its head tilted and tongue hanging: [I can't figure it out. 】
Min Yue wailed, is it so difficult to fall in love with Xueba, the brain circuit is completely different!
Fatty walked from the end of the bed to the pillow in small steps, raised his legs, and sat down on Min Yue's face, his fat belly blocked her mouth. The world fell into silence, Pang Pang closed his eyes and fell asleep in satisfaction, and even grunted happily.
Min Yue ate a mouthful of cat hair, spat it out, stared at the ceiling as lonely as snow, and suffered from insomnia until dawn.
As the end of the new year approaches, red lanterns and couplets are hung everywhere in the First Affiliated Hospital. Patients in the inpatient department are being discharged one after another, and only a few cafeteria stalls remain open. Everyone is preparing to go home for the New Year.
Xu Mai is still on duty this year for people with families, so that other people's families can be reunited. Min Yue got off the night shift on New Year's Eve, took the first round of holidays, and took annual leave for the second year of junior high school, taking three days off at once.
According to the local customs in S City, no matter how old you are, as long as you are not married, you can receive red envelopes. Because Min Yue was away for a few days during the Chinese New Year, Corey’s big brothers gave her red envelopes first. Thirty red red packets were held in their hands, which was very spectacular. Chen Sitian and Deng Sang’s eyes turned green with envy. .
Xu Mai was the last to give. He took out a thick red envelope from the drawer, handed it to Min Yue's arms, and said with a smile, "Happy New Year."
"Thank you, Master." Min Yue reached out to catch it.
Chen Sitian booed from the side: "I am so touched by the relationship between master and apprentice, the red envelope is thicker than a big sesame cake! Xiao Mingyue, open it and see if there is 100 million!"
Min Yue smiled and said don't make trouble, said auspicious words to everyone, said goodbye seriously, and then went back to the lounge to change clothes and prepare to get off work. Putting on a down jacket, a woolen cap, and carrying a messenger bag, he folded thirty-one red packets and put them in the bag, opened the door and went out.
When passing by the duty room, Min Yue quietly looked in through the glass, Chen Sitian and Deng Sang were laughing and playing, Director Zheng stood by the window drinking tea and looked at them with a smile, Zeng Yuan and Hu Yidaojing slumped in chairs chatting, others Some people played with mobile phones and some ate biscuits. Everyone had happy smiles on their faces.
With his back to the door, Xu Mai was pouring honey water. When he stirred it with a slender metal spoon, the sweet and thick royal jelly swirled and gradually merged with the warm water, reflecting a warm yellow color.
Min Yue looked at her back quietly, and said silently, Happy New Year, my beloved master.
When Min Yue arrived home, Jiang Hui was making lunch when she heard the door knock, wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen, smiling to meet her. "Our moon baby is back."
Looking down at what she was carrying in her hands, she said with a pleasant smile, "The child has grown up, and he won't go home empty-handed. Let me see what you bought..."
Before he could finish speaking, Min Yue changed the direction of the cat's cage, lying in it like a fat uncle, and meowed condescendingly.
"Why do you keep a cat?!" Jiang Hui immediately frowned, "How difficult it is to raise a small animal, you are busy with work, and you have to wait on it after work. The cat feces are smelly, how did you find yourself a living ancestor? Wouldn’t it be good to talk about love in that time?”
Min Yue knew that she would be scolded. Many doctors are obsessed with cleanliness. They think that there are parasites in animal excrement, and the shed hair can easily cause allergies and rhinitis.
Min Guangyang was watching the noon news, when he heard the sound, he walked over with his slippers on, pushed his glasses, and took a closer look. "Hey, it's fat enough. Let me weigh it to see how many catties it weighs." After finishing speaking, he took the cage calmly and carried it into the living room, and Pangpang finally entered the house.
Min Yue leaned on Jiang Hui's shoulder and coaxed her coquettishly: "Mom, your newly cut hair is so beautiful, you look like you are forty years old, I will go to which store you cut it at."
Jiang Hui is in her early fifties, but she takes good care of herself. There are almost no wrinkles on her face when she is not smiling. It’s a new year and a new atmosphere. A few days ago, while the hairdressing shop was still on holiday, I went to do oil and ion perm. It is the kind of big curly hair that is popular among middle-aged and old people, dignified and generous.
Jiang Hui was so coaxed that she covered her mouth and laughed: "I bought a cashmere skirt with your dad's card, and I'll show you how to change it after dinner. It's especially suitable for this hairstyle."
The family had a peaceful lunch, woke up from a nap, and began to show off their skills to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. Min Guangyang can't cook, so he can only serve as a helper, and the kitchen is controlled by two great women.
Min Yue made braised pork after a long absence, while Jiang Hui was packing the sea bass and preparing to steam it. Fatty smelled the smell of fish, ran into the kitchen, squatted at her feet and meowed.
Because it was picked up, I don't know the exact month of its birth. According to the veterinarian's deduction, it is about nine months old. Underage kittens are like children, naughty and cute, with a baby voice that makes people feel affectionate.
Jiang Hui stretched out her foot and carefully pushed it aside, muttering: "Don't stay in the kitchen, there is a fire or hot oil, and you will be scalded by accident. Go out and wait, it's Chinese New Year, grandma will steam fish for you Eat, don't worry."
Pangpang didn't understand, but it didn't prevent it from displaying its charming charm. It put its small head on Jiang Hui's leg and rubbed her flatteringly. The chubby ball looked like a donkey with soybean flour rolling.
Jiang Hui scratched the scales of the fish and said with a smile, "This little guy is quite cute."
Min Yue burst into laughter: "Mom, do you know 'really fragrant'?"
"what?"
"A popular person on the Internet, I will starve to death, and I won't eat a bite of your food. It will be delicious after a few days." Min Yue explained carefully, "Mom, your behavior is like that, what's so good about cats? , Dirty and smelly, I changed my words in less than half a day, so cute."
Jiang Hui didn't play Weibo, so she didn't know about the stalk, but she heard that Min Yue was teasing her, and gave her a non-threatening look. "Aren't you happy to praise your cat for being cute?"
"Happy, very happy." Min Yue smiled and accepted it as soon as she saw it.
Although there were only three people eating, the two chefs responded to the festive atmosphere and made six dishes and one soup, three meat and three vegetables, with balanced nutrition. Pangpang also got half a piece of steamed fish without salt, which made his stomach rounder.
Jiang Hui felt that the dumplings sold in the supermarket were too fatty and boring, so she made her own three fresh fillings and large meat and corn fillings. After the meal, the family of three sat at the coffee table and made dumplings while watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Pang Pang stayed at Min Yue's house for half a year, ate cat food every now and then, and tonight ate the fish made by Jiang Hui. He decided that Jiang Hui was the one who loved him the most in the whole house.
When Jiang Hui was sitting on the sofa, it jumped onto the sofa and nestled beside her, with its head resting on her lap, quietly watching them making dumplings, flicking its tail, very comfortable.
Jiang Hui looked down at it with kind eyes. "Like a child, he can act like a baby."
Then he looked at Min Yue, and asked the question that the elders must ask during the Chinese New Year: "When will you get married, let me hold my grandson?"
Min Yue pinched the dumpling with too much force and broke the dumpling skin.
"After the new year, you will be twenty-seven. The boss is not young. When I was in graduate school, I asked you to talk about something and you didn't listen. It's time to talk about it now?"
Jiang Hui made a straightforward analysis: "Find a boyfriend within this year, get along with him for a year or two, get a certificate if he is stable, and have a baby before the age of 30. Your father and I are in good health and can help you. It will be difficult to say in a few years. myself."
Min Yue pinched the dumpling wrapper, and asked lightly: "It must be a boyfriend, can't you be a girlfriend?"
Jiang Hui stopped making dumplings, and stared at her blankly: "What did you say?"
Not knowing where the courage came from, Min Yue blushed and murmured: "I like Xu Mai, can't I?"
