Meet Jiaqi for the first time

Chapter 21

A few days later, Chuxi suddenly rushed in and threw a magazine into the arms of Yu Jiaqi who was sitting on the sofa reading. "What is this?" He recognized that it was a very popular magazine that published youth literature novels. He subscribed to it when he was in junior high school, but he didn't understand why he suddenly gave it to himself.

Chuxi only said: "Turn to page No.80 six!" Then he took out a box of orange juice from the refrigerator and drank it. Since he moved in, he can always find his favorite orange juice in the refrigerator. The strange thing is that he It is rare to see Yu Jiaqi drinking.

He turned to page six of No.80 and saw a novel signed by himself.

Chuxi waited to see his reaction, only to see that he was stunned for a while, then covered his mouth in disbelief, "My God, my work has been published!" Chuxi smiled with satisfaction, and then took the He took out an envelope, "There is still the manuscript fee, and I will help you get it." The money was not much, but Yu Jiaqi cherished it very much, and carefully hid it.

There was also a letter, which affirmed his writing talent, pointed out some areas for improvement in his articles, and encouraged him to submit to them again.

"I never thought that I could see what I wrote in this kind of magazine and get paid." He couldn't hide his excitement, and looked at Chuxi, "Do you think I should continue to contribute?" "Of course Yes, it’s a pity that no one saw your writing so well!” He replied briskly.

But he hesitated again, "But this one was lucky enough to be published, what should they do if they don't think the next one is good?" Chu Xi smiled slightly and said, "This is the same as my painting, if you don't let others see you You will never know whether you can do it or not. Maybe your work will be criticized, and maybe not all of your works will be liked by people, but you still have to let them see it in order to become better.”

He thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Well! I understand, thank you." Chuxi's smile changed, "If you want to thank me, take practical actions, remember our bet?" "Ah, Remember, I’m going to buy groceries right now.”

"What?" He pulled him back, "Shouldn't you invite me to a restaurant for dinner?" "You only said that the loser should invite the winner to dinner, but you didn't say that you must eat outside, so I will invite you to dinner at my house. I will cook myself!" As he said that, he bounced and ran away.

He likes him and wants to make him like himself in every possible way, and he is indeed very, very grateful that he forced himself to submit articles to newspapers and periodicals—seeing what he wrote turned into typeface and appearing in finely printed literary publications, in exchange for After receiving the manuscript remuneration, he was really excited and happy like never before. He suddenly realized that this is what he loves to do most, and this is what he will always do in the future.

However, the family conditions forced him to be frugal everywhere, so he had to play tricks on Chuxi once. He thought that Chuxi had always been very generous to others, so he shouldn't be angry.

He didn't know that Chuxi was not only not angry, but was stunned.Because the moment he turned around, he saw a smile on his face, not that faint smile, but a cheerful and playful one, which should always appear on the face of teenagers of his age, but he It is rare to see that kind of smile appearing on Yu Jiaqi's face.

It turned out that he would smile like this too, and it turned out that this smile appeared on his face so beautiful and touching.

Chu Xi was taken aback, how could such an idea come to her mind? "What's wrong with me?" He patted his head hard.

Yu Jiaqi bought some fresh pork, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, lotus root, and a lively carp.

He made spicy shredded pork, fried pork with bamboo shoots, pot-packed pork, braised carp, braised pork, stir-fried lotus root, and even a pot of creamy mushroom soup.

Chu Xi was also a little frightened besides being pleasantly surprised. He never thought that Yu Jiaqi, who looked very weak and gentle, could knock a live carp unconscious with a kitchen knife so calmly, then scraped its scales and ripped open its belly.

The bloody scene scared him so much that he hid in the bedroom, but when it was made into a dish and served on the table, the taste was really irresistible to him. "You have the potential to become a master chef!" He mumbled with his mouth full of food, "This creamy mushroom soup is no worse than the restaurant outside! How did you do it?"

Yu Jiaqi smiled modestly and said: "I followed the book, and this is the first time, as long as you like it." "Yeah." He didn't say he likes it, but his behavior has already explained everything.Seeing him wolfing down, Yu Jiaqi couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

He was surprised and said, "Hey, why don't you eat?" He quickly lowered his head and put the rice in his mouth, "I'm eating."

That night, Chuxi found Yu Jiaqi uncharacteristically sitting on the sofa watching TV, and asked strangely, "Why didn't you do your homework today?" He lazily replied, "It's done." "It's done." ?” He was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground, “It’s only been eight days of vacation, and you’ve finished your winter vacation homework?” “Because I’ve been doing all the work during these eight days except for eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom.”

Listening to his understated answer, and thinking that he was only urging him to do two English papers that day, he finally realized the difference between a top student and a bad student. "No way, I can't do it." He shook his head, "I'd better be a painter."

"Then you'll be fine after finishing your homework? What are you going to do tomorrow?" he asked him. "Tomorrow?" He thought for a while, "Look at what article to submit to the magazine next time, and revise it." "There is no rush, we should take a good rest during the holiday, let's go out and play!"

"Us?" Yu Jiaqi looked at Chu Xi flattered, "What are we playing?" He thought for a while and said, "I haven't been to the playground for a long time, let's go and play together, what do you think?" "Okay. "

The next day, the playground.

"What do you want to play first?" Chu Xi asked Yu Jiaqi.He shook his head, "I don't know, you can play whatever you want." He looked at his eyes curiously looking at everything around him, "Could it be that you have never been to an amusement park?" He said shyly Nodding, "My mother is busy with work and has no time to bring me here. I was too young to play here when my father was alive."

"Oh." Chu Xi paused, "Then let's challenge the classic project first, the roller coaster!" When passing the Ferris wheel on the way to the roller coaster, Yu Jiaqi stopped involuntarily. The Ferris wheel, the legend that kissing will last forever when the Ferris wheel rises to the highest point, can't help but blush.

"Hey, Yu Jiaqi, what's the matter with you? Let's go!" Chu Xi called him from the front. "Oh, here we come."

"Ah—Chu Xi!" Yu Jiaqi couldn't help shouting when the roller coaster was at its most thrilling. "What?" Chu Xi responded equally loudly.

After coming down, Chuxi asked him: "Did you call me by my name just now?" "Ah?" He blushed, pretending not to understand, "No. So many people are screaming Call, you may have heard it wrong." "Did I hear it wrong?" He scratched his head, "Probably not, I remember I answered you."

"You must have heard it wrong," he quickly changed the subject, "Look, it's a haunted house, let's go play." "Haunted house?" Chuxi frowned, "Do you want to play?" Noticing his expression Changing, Yu Jiaqi immediately said: "If you are afraid, then let's play something else." He was indeed a little scared, and he had never tried it before, but Yu Jiaqi's words aroused His fighting spirit, as a man, he is afraid of ghosts, even if Yu Jiaqi doesn't say it, he will definitely laugh at himself in his heart. "Who, who's scared? Let's go play with that!" As he spoke, he walked over righteously.

But when he actually entered it, he was still timid.The dark and gloomy layout, the terrifying sound effects, and the sudden appearance of all kinds of ghosts all challenged his nerves, and he had to pretend to be calm.

When a "ghost" dressed as a doctor with blood stains on his white coat and holding a plastic syringe rushed towards him, he finally couldn't help but grabbed Yu Jiaqi's hand and hid behind him.Then, he never let go of his hand.He knew that this was not good, and it was embarrassing, but now that he was afraid, he couldn't care less, and holding his hand really made him feel at ease a lot.

In sharp contrast to his reaction, Yu Jiaqi looked around curiously, as if he was visiting a museum.When he dragged his hand and refused to move forward, he clapped his hand and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's all fake." It made him feel even more ashamed.
