Chapter 78 Sharing
Following the address given by the director, Shen Ruoyun glanced at the map and found that it wasn't very far.
Thinking it would be a good opportunity to get some exercise, I decided to walk there.
The sky was a bit overcast, and it was also a little windy.
Shen Ruoyun wrapped her black coat tighter around herself, her feet making soft thumping sounds on the concrete pavement.
After walking for a while, I realized that the place seemed to be in a rather remote location.
Shen Ruojun continued forward, and the road beneath her feet gradually narrowed.
Before we knew it, we had turned directly into a narrow alley paved with blue bricks.
Rows of low courtyards were built on both sides of the alley.
The dark blue tiled roof was covered with moss, and the walls were covered with mottled marks left by time.
Walking here and comparing it to the city, I always feel a strong sense of disconnect.
Shen Ruoyun followed the house number and finally stopped in front of a thick, brown-gray wooden door.
I looked up and peered inside. Hmm...good...I can't see anything.
Shen Ruoyun gently raised her hand, curled her fingers, and politely knocked on the door a few times.
Then he stood quietly waiting for a response, but after a short while, the surroundings remained silent.
He took two steps back, raised his hand again, and knocked on the door, this time with a slightly louder knock.
After knocking, he put his hands in his pockets and casually looked at the slightly old wooden door in front of him.
Time has left its mark on this wooden door, with scratches of varying depths.
Just as he was in a daze, a series of soft noises suddenly came from inside the door.
With a soft creak, the door was slowly pulled open a crack.
Immediately afterwards, a handsome and gentle face appeared before Shen Ruojun.
Shen Ruoyun's expression froze instantly, a sense of déjà vu washing over her.
But for a moment, I couldn't remember where I had seen this person before.
Lin Yanshu smiled politely when he saw Shen Ruojun.
That smile was like the morning sunlight, shining through the gaps in the densely packed branches onto the rocks where the spring water flowed through the mountain stream.
Lin Yanshu turned slightly to the side, wearing a pair of white heat-resistant gloves on his hands.
"You're here to pick up something for Brother Zhang, right? Come in."
The voice sounded very gentle.
Shen Ruoyun thought to herself, "This person probably won't get angry."
He nodded, followed the other person into the courtyard, and carefully closed the wooden door behind him.
As soon as Shen Ruoyun entered the courtyard, she looked up, paused for a moment, and her gaze was involuntarily drawn to the viewer.
Emerald wings cluster high among the leaves, crimson tassels lightly brush against the flowers.
The large red camellia in front of me was in full bloom.
The branches, adorned with crimson blossoms, reach up to the low eaves, carrying a patch of green shade.
The scene is filled with arrogance, barbarity, and unbridled behavior.
The old stone slabs under the tree were covered with broken flower heads.
At first glance, it seems out of place with the withered and bleak surroundings, but upon closer inspection, they complement each other perfectly.
Lin Yanshu bent down and pulled a plate of fresh flower cakes from the earthen oven under the tree.
Turning my head, I saw Shen Ruoyun staring blankly at the camellia tree.
The pale spring mountains, the clear jade reflection, are like crabapple blossoms intoxicated by the sun.
Lin Yanshu suddenly remembered a sentence from the book.
You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and people who look at the scenery look at you upstairs.
She chuckled softly and asked, "Here are some freshly baked flower cakes. Would you like to try some?"
Shen Ruoyun snapped out of her daze and looked at the flower cakes on the bamboo plate in Lin Yanshu's hand, her eyes lighting up.
He said, feigning modesty, "I can't accept this. You're such a kind person."
Lin Yanshu placed the plate on the stone table in the courtyard, gesturing for Shen Ruojun to sit down.
Shen Ruoyun took a bite of the flower cake, and the sweet flavor spread in her mouth.
"good to eat."
Lin Yanshu smiled and poured Shen Ruojun a cup of tea.
"These are made with camellias from the yard. You can take some home if you like."
Shen Ruoyun stuffed the flower cake in her hand into her mouth.
She raised her hand to scoop the crumbs of biscuit from the corner of her mouth and put them into her mouth, a rare hint of shyness on her face.
She turned her head, her thick eyelashes fluttering, and whispered, "How could I possibly accept that..."
Actually, he's very shameless, especially when he's freeloading.
I carefully picked up the teacup, took a sip, and couldn't tell what it was made of, but it tasted surprisingly good.
He glanced up at Lin Yanshu.
Lin Yanshu poured him another cup and slowly said, "This is bamboo tip tea that I dried some time ago. It's just right to cut through the greasiness."
Shen Ruoyun picked up the cup, smelled it, and carefully took a sip.
This time he was determined to savor it slowly, and not let Pigsy eat the ginseng fruit like Pigsy did.
"Have you had dinner? Would you like to stay and have some?"
Shen Ruoyun planned to go back and eat instant noodles; he really didn't want to eat boiled cabbage anymore.
Now that I've eaten their flower cakes, I'm too embarrassed to ask for another meal.
"I've already eaten..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Lin Yanshu interrupted.
"My friend just gave me two mud crabs, I probably can't finish them."
Upon hearing Shen Ruoyun's words, he immediately stopped talking and changed his tune.
"Oh... I see. It seems a bit wasteful not to finish it. I should be able to eat a little bit too."
After saying that, he lowered his head, quickly picked up the tea in front of him, and gulped it down. Suddenly, he thought the tea was damn sweet.
"Wait a moment, I'll take it to steam now."
Shen Ruoyun stood up as well, feeling a little guilty about taking food and drinks at the same time.
She quickly stood up and followed Lin Yanshu into the kitchen.
"Let me help you."
Lin Yanshu skillfully cleaned the blue crabs, while Shen Ruojun occasionally lent a hand and handed over some seasonings.
A faint steam filled the kitchen.
A camellia plant inserted in a bamboo tube looks surprisingly harmonious.
"Can we eat vinegar?" Lin Shuyan asked, tilting his head slightly.
Shen Ruoyun withdrew her gaze from the steamed, reddish-brown crab and looked at Lin Yanshu with some confusion.
Lin Yanshu smiled and reached out to wipe the crumbs off his cheek.
Are you jealous?
Shen Ruoyun finally realized what was happening and immediately replied, "Eat...two spoonfuls."
After preparing the dipping sauce, the blue crab was brought out from the kitchen, along with a plate of steamed pork ribs.
Shen Ruoyun tidied up the dining table and pulled over two chairs.
Lin Yanshu was cutting up a crab with small scissors in his hand.
She glanced up at Shen Ruoyun's cherry-like lips, then lowered her eyes and divided the crab in her hand into smaller pieces.
He carefully divided the crabs and placed them in front of Shen Ruojun, his slender fingers still damp with moisture.
Shen Ruoyun looked at the pile of blue crabs in front of her, which looked like a small mountain, and began to speak politely.
"No...no need to give me so much, I'll just eat a little bit."
Lin Yanshu picked up a piece of pork rib and said casually.
"I don't really like this, could you eat more for me?"
Upon hearing his words, Shen Ruoyun looked at the delicious food in front of her and subconsciously swallowed.
"I see. Then I'll help you with some of the burden."
They agreed to share the burden, but in reality, most of the crabs ended up in his stomach.
