A knock on the door interrupted Duan Mufeng who was busy in the room.
"Enter."
Duan Mufeng immediately looked back at the door and responded loudly.
As the door opened, Xu Qing appeared at the door, and then looked at Duan Mufeng standing there blankly, eyes full of disbelief.
At this time, Duanmu Feng got an apron from nowhere and put it around his body. His sleeves were rolled up. His hands and apron were covered with flour. There was already risen dough on the table that was originally used for working. , and a bunch of meat and vegetable fillings.
Seeing Xu Qing, Duan Mufeng was happy for no reason, with a warm smile on his face.
There were some scattered flour on his cheeks, making his warm smile look more real.
Looking at this scene, Xu Qing could not imagine it, as if it was a dream.
"Come in, what are you doing standing there? Come and help."
Duanmu Feng smiled and waved, urging.
"You...are you making dumplings?"
Xu Qing slowly walked into the room, came closer, pointed at the dough and fillings on the table, looked at Duan Mufeng in disbelief and asked.
"Yeah, isn't that obvious?"
Duanmu Feng smiled and nodded.
"But...you..."
"Why?"
Xu Qing looked at Duanmu Feng blankly, with a puzzled face, and even a little bit dumbfounded.
"Auntie, doesn't she like to eat dumplings?"
"Maybe eating dumplings will completely cure the disease."
Duan Mufeng said with a smile, looking extremely serious.
Hearing Duan Mufeng's words, Xu Qing was stunned for a moment and understood completely.
It turned out that because of his father's words, Feng Shuai immediately prepared all the things needed to make dumplings and started making dumplings here.
Suddenly, a feeling that could not be described in words made her eyes turn red.
No one has ever cared about her so much, not to mention that this person is still the aloof man who filled everyone with awe.
"Help, don't be stupid."
Duanmu Feng urged with a smile and began to roll out the dumpling wrappers.
"Eh!"
Xu Qing nodded hastily in agreement, rolled up her sleeves, and joined in the action. A tear slipped from the corner of her eye unknowingly.
Those were moved tears.
However, at the same time, Jin Ling appeared outside the door at some unknown time, leaning against the wall quietly, with a trace of bitterness that had never appeared on her face before.
Listening to the constant busy sounds in the room and the occasional conversations that were almost full of laughter, she felt extremely uncomfortable. In the end, she could only sigh and walked helplessly to the other end of the corridor.
She had never eaten dumplings before, and she didn't even know what they were. But the point was not the dumplings, but Duanmu Feng's attitude towards Xu Qing.
Before she even ate the dumplings, she was already feeling sour.
...
After a long time, Duan Mufeng and Xu Qing left the top floor together and came to Xu Qing's parents' room on the fifth floor.
When Father Xu opened the door and saw the dumplings in his daughter's hands, as well as the electric pot and pure water bucket held in Duan Mufeng's arms, he couldn't help but reveal an incredible surprise on his face.
"dumpling?!"
"Where did you get it?!"
Father Xu asked in disbelief, his happy smile unable to be concealed at all.
"We packed it together."
Xu Qing turned her head and glanced at Duan Mufeng behind her, raised her head and said, as if she was showing off the unique favor she had received.
"Very good!"
"Come on, come on in!"
"Old lady, there are dumplings to eat!"
Xu's father opened the door with a happy face, took the dumplings in his daughter's hands, turned around and said happily to Xu's mother who was lying on the bed.
"Ah? Why are there still dumplings? Did you make them?"
Xu's mother was surprised, looked at her daughter and Duan Mufeng who walked in with a smile, and asked slowly.
It can be seen that her face is more of surprise than surprise.
"Yes, I'm not dad yet. He said that you can only get better if you eat dumplings, so Feng Shuai asked someone to prepare the ingredients and called me over to make dumplings together."
"Now, look, those ugly ones were all made by him."
Xu Qing nodded, and while explaining, she pointed at the dumplings in Xu's father's hand, and looked back at Duan Mufeng jokingly.
The last sentence seemed to be complaining about Duanmu Feng, but in fact it was more like showing off, as if telling everyone that they would no longer treat each other with respect and courtesy as before.
"Hehehe, great."
"Thank you, Feng Shuai."
Xu's mother looked at Duanmu Feng gratefully and said softly. There seemed to be something self-evident in her eyes.
"Auntie is too kind."
"Are you hungry? Come on, let me cook the dumplings."
Duanmu Feng smiled and waved his hand, and then started cooking dumplings on the spot.
"No, no, no, no, you've all been busy for a long time, leave the rough job of cooking dumplings to me!"
However, Xu Qing's father wisely rejected Duanmu Feng and started cooking dumplings.
The other three people sat quietly aside, watching Xu's busy father, and everyone's mood was undergoing subtle changes.
This scene looks so warm and precious, especially at this special moment.
Not long after, the first pot of dumplings finally came out. Xu's father happily brought the plate of dumplings to a small table on Xu's mother's bed.
So the four of them sat together and started eating dumplings happily.
At this time, Duanmu Feng suddenly took out half a bottle of vinegar from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.
"And vinegar?!"
"You kid can do it!"
Seeing that Duan Mufeng actually took out a bottle of vinegar, Xu's father cried out excitedly, hurriedly opened the bottle, smelled it, and poured half a bowl for himself.
Perhaps because he was too excited, he actually called Duanmu Feng your boy.
Xu Qing realized something was wrong and secretly touched her father to indicate that he had said the wrong thing.
Xu's father also understood this, and looked at Duan Mufeng with some embarrassment and nervousness, with a full face of apology.
However, Duan Mufeng didn't take it to heart. Instead, he showed an indifferent smile to Xu's father.
Seeing Duan Mufeng's sincere and unassuming smile, the other three looked at each other and laughed out loud.
"Oh, being able to have a bite of dumplings dipped in vinegar these days is more wonderful than going to heaven!"
Xu's father sighed as he put the dumplings soaked in vinegar sauce into his mouth, and then showed a satisfied look on his face.
This dumpling meal didn't end until very late, not because the four of them were greedy, but because they were all immersed in that rare atmosphere, and no one wanted to end it hastily.
After Xu Qing helped her father clean up the scene, Duan Mufeng stood up to say goodbye and prepared to leave.
In order to express her gratitude, Xu Qing personally sent Duan Mufeng out of the door and told her parents that she was going back to rest.
Immediately afterwards, the two followed each other all the way and slowly took the elevator back to the top floor.
Since it was getting late, everyone else seemed to be asleep, and no one could be seen in the corridor, which was eerily quiet.
In front of the elevator door, two people stood opposite each other, looking at each other but avoiding their eyes. There was a trace of tension and embarrassment in the air.
Their rooms were on the left and right of the elevator, so it was already time to part ways.
But it can be seen that they are a little reluctant to give up.
"Thank you for today."
Xu Qing looked at Duanmu Feng, swallowed, and said softly.
"It doesn't matter."
Duanmu Feng smiled and shook his head.
He didn't expect to do everything he did today, but after doing it, he found that he was really satisfied.
But just when he finished speaking, Xu Qing, who was standing three steps away, suddenly took two steps forward, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him affectionately on the cheek!
Feeling the warmth that shook his soul, Duanmu Feng was completely dumbfounded and froze on the spot.
"Good night!"
Because of shyness, Xu Qing's face turned red, she whispered a warning, turned around and fled.
But just when Xu Qing was about to run away, Duan Mufeng subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Duan Mufeng, her face full of nervousness and embarrassment.
She thought Duanmu Feng would be angry.
But then, Duan Mufeng suddenly pulled Xu Qing tightly into his arms, and then looked down at Xu Qing, his eyes unblinking...
