Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 308 307. The Ritual of Cohabitation
Living together sounds like a ritual of stepping from underground to the front stage.

Until the sky brightened again, Guan Yongyi's lips were unconsciously filled with sweetness.

She slept until she woke up naturally, combed her hair, washed up briefly, and insisted on taking Lu Jincheng out.

"Hurry up and get up. I'll make you something delicious later!"

The word cohabitation does seem to have some kind of magic.

Even though they planned everything, the two of them could not possibly live together for more than a few days.

I agreed to Guan Yongyi just to make her happy.

During the day, Lu Jincheng has to go to the company most of the time, and she also has to concentrate on studying for the exam.

After the final exams, both of you will end the semester and return home.

But Guan Yongyi was obviously caught up in some kind of ritual, and she insisted on cooking for him herself.

She took Lu Jincheng out and headed to the vegetable market near the community.

Gu Long once said a sentence.

When a person loses hope in life, let him go to the vegetable market.

Because no matter how despaired a person is, once he enters the vegetable market, he will inevitably smell the breath of life again, and will definitely feel a little attachment to life again.

Not far from Jiangnan Home, there is a large vegetable market.

As soon as she entered the door, Guan Yongyi let go of the man's arm.

She skillfully pulled off a plastic bag, shook her wrist, pouted her lips and blew a breath into it.

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

".I also can."

Lu Jincheng smiled and waved his hands, looking here and there, feeling somewhat fresh.

In two lifetimes, the places where I have dated are so varied that they are countless.

Mr. Lu.

Not only is he well-versed in luxury goods, he is also adept at creating romance, and all kinds of techniques to arouse girls' emotions are almost integrated into his blood.

But this was his first time going to the morning vegetable market with a girl.

Not to mention accompanying his girlfriend, he himself has barely gone shopping many times.

He really found it very novel.

There are so many fresh fruits and vegetables in front of you that make you happy. Just standing there makes you feel healed.

Studies have shown that the color of food can affect people's blood pressure, pulse and breathing rate.

Bright red round peppers, emerald green vegetables, shiny and plump eggplants, these colorful and neatly arranged foods can instantly cure a good person's bad mood.

Even if you are not a good cook, when you see these colorful fresh fruits and vegetables, you will consciously start to imagine the dishes and tastes in your mind.

This unique sense of fireworks can make people quickly escape from the virtual world and start focusing on life here and now.

"Auntie, how much is this kohlrabi per pound?"

"4 yuan a pound."

The two walked deeper and deeper, Guan Yongyi holding the bag in one hand and picking with the other.

In this bustling place, her aloof demeanor seemed to gradually disappear.

The short-haired girl smiled and asked the aunt and uncle selling vegetables about the price.

The small figure blends into the bustling crowd.

"You seem familiar with me?"

Lu Jincheng looked at her series of actions and couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

You know, when Guan Yongyi just started living alone last year, even her skill in frying an egg was a little immature.

Has she progressed to this extent?

"Humph, you should just be happy that you have a girlfriend like me!"

Guan Yongyi had a smile on her face as she picked vegetables happily, her hands full of colorful plastic bags.

"Okay, let me feel it for a while."

Lu Jincheng also laughed, took the spoils handed over by his lover, and walked closely behind her.

The vegetable market is a natural window to observe other people’s lives up close.

The post-industrial society is more like a huge machine, in which individuals are trapped between the nuts and bolts.

As a screw, I don’t understand the meaning of existence, nor do I know where I will be thrown.

Hectic work is uncontrollable and virtual social networks are unreal.

The world is changing too fast. People may be left behind by the times at any time. They may even lose control of their own bodies and are too timid to even look at their physical examination reports.

And in this three-acre piece of land of the vegetable market.

The meat is on the chopping block, the vegetables are in the basket, everything is neat and comfortable.

The ambition to control your life doesn’t just start with cooking, it starts when you decide which vegetables to buy.

The bustling atmosphere of the vegetable market is like an anchor of life.

When you feel the road ahead is uncertain, go to the vegetable market.

In the noisy crowd, perhaps you can find the courage to move forward in this secular world.

"Are you sure you don't need my help?"

As soon as he got home, Lu Jincheng had just put down the large and small vegetable bags when Guan Yongyi pushed him out of the kitchen area.

"no, I'm fine."

"Really? You still have time to regret it now, otherwise I won't eat any weird dishes you make later."

The man raised his eyebrows, half believing and half doubting.

"No need! Don't make trouble for me, do whatever you want."

Guan Yongyi stretched, put on a striped apron, skillfully set up the chopping board by the sink, washed her hands, and responded while tidying up.

"."

Lu Jincheng didn't insist either.

He really wanted to see if Guan Yongyi could make some decent side dishes.

He stared at the back of the short-haired girl, who had an extra apron string tied around her neck, and his eyes wandered over her smooth skin.

Guan Guan looks serious while cutting vegetables, with her long eyelashes covering her eyelids and her fair forearms exerting force gently.

In the sunlight, you can vaguely see the fine fluff.

At this moment, Guan Yongyi is exactly the same as the image of a good wife and mother in countless people's dreams.

If it were an acquaintance, anyone who saw him would rub their eyes, for fear of recognizing the wrong person.

"As for the taste, do you like it salty or light?"

"Oh yeah, I shouldn't have asked you, we have similar tastes."

"They are truly a match made in heaven."

Guan Yongyi muttered a few words to himself, turned around, opened the cabinet, stood on tiptoe to take out the sugar jar, skillfully scooped it into the oil, and poured in the sliced ​​lean meat.

"."

It seems like she does.

Lu Jincheng widened his eyes.

She really can do this move!
Most of his attention, apart from watching Guan Yongyi's cooking movements, was focused on her slim and beautiful back.

As the short-haired girl grows up, the curves under the apron become more charming.

As her wrists turned, the thin apron shrunk up a lot without her noticing.

The scenery near the apron vaguely revealed a lace edge, which swayed slightly on her white thighs, making people feel distracted.

His hands did not stop at all. The aroma of the rolling beef filled the air and Lu Jincheng sniffed many times.

what's the situation?
Guan Yongyi actually learned to cook secretly?

Just by smelling this, the man decided to abandon the idea of ​​opening his phone to plan Plan B.

What else to order takeout?
No matter whether it tastes good or not, we have to give it to you today.

After more than ten minutes, the meal was ready.

After Lu Jincheng helped to serve the food a few times, the cook's work was finally complete.

As soon as the rice came out of the pot, he consciously served two bowls of rice, one large and one small, and placed them in front of the two of them. Guan Yongyi still had a few drops of sweat on her temples that she hadn't had time to wipe off. She took off her apron with a smile on her face and walked over.

She wiped her hands, sat next to Lu Jincheng, and deliberately moved her chair closer to him. She lifted one leg and placed it on his thigh, staring at him straight.

"Try it quickly!"

He looked very proud, waiting for praise.

"."

The best debater in the White Horse Cup, the noble and cold iceberg beauty, the home cook who washes her hands and cooks soup.
The multiple images gradually merged into one.

Something in his heart seemed to melt. Lu Jincheng moved closer, moved his dry lips, and his nose was filled with the fragrant smell.

He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"good to eat."

He doesn't need to pretend to be delicious to save face.

What a pleasant surprise.

"Baby, did you secretly go to New Oriental for further studies?"

"What did you say?"

After eating and drinking, the two naturally snuggled together again.

Guan Yongyi leaned on the man's shoulder and chuckled, her voice clear and pleasant.

"Compared to some things, cooking is not that difficult, and there are so many tutorials online."

she continued.

"But."

"I now understand why people on Weibo suggested that it is best for everyone to live alone for a period of time in their lives."

“The whole time I was away from my parents, away from my roommates, and living on my own.”

"why?"

the man asked.

"Because it seems that only in this way can we understand the essence of life."

"is it?"

Looking at the pair of bright eyes in front of him, Lu Jincheng was a little dazed for a moment.

It turns out that the girls around him have been growing and improving rapidly.

Miao Keyan went from being a campus celebrity to a big anchor in the company today.

Counselor Guo Minjie suddenly became the director of the student affairs office.

Zhou Sining, who started a coffee shop as a couple for fun, has now begun to take the helm of a chain brand that is spread all over Jiangcheng.

Guan Yongyi's independent evolution process can be described as rapid progress.

Even Zhong Ruixi, who seems to have not changed much, is growing up happily and enjoying university life.

Lu Jincheng suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

It seems that I have to take big steps forward.

"Of course! Life itself actually has so many insignificant and trivial things."

Guan Yongyi stretched out his hands, drew a big circle in the air, and continued describing.

These trivial things are the most annoying, yet seem pretentious when brought up.

Living with parents, living in a school dormitory, or living with roommates, many times you don’t actually feel it.

Because these are not your own private spaces.

What we are competing for is who can tolerate more. Often many things are handled by family members or roommates.

In fact, I had no idea that life was like this.

Start by looking for a house.

You need to go see the houses in person and compare them repeatedly to consider the location, orientation, size, layout, price, commuting time, etc.

Choose furniture and appliances and compare prices.

Apply for a network selection package.

Buy pots, pans, and utensils. How many should I buy and how much should I spend?

Clothes hangers have to be bought in dozens, and all the seasonings are so heavy and expensive.

If you just throw your socks and clothes around, they won’t disappear by themselves, nor will they become clean by themselves.

If you don't change your bed sheets and quilt covers frequently, you will really get eczema. It will take a lot of time and sweat to wash and change the whole set.

The house must be cleaned regularly, otherwise the dust will immediately make people feel uncomfortable in their respiratory tract.

You have to wear slippers, otherwise your feet will get dirty, and climbing into bed will increase the frequency of washing the sheets.

After eating, remember to empty the leftovers in the bowl into the trash can first.

Otherwise, you will definitely want to die when you are digging the sewer.

When taking a shower, you should try to clean up the fallen hair in time, otherwise the sewer will be blocked and you will cry.

The toilet needs to be cleaned regularly, otherwise it will become dirty and unhealthy.

The same goes for the kitchen stove, which must be cleaned immediately after use, otherwise it will become sticky and attract insects.

Not to mention clothes.

Not only do you need to organize them and leave space, but you also need to wash them separately, otherwise you will find all kinds of hair on your clothes.

Check the inventory of shower gel, toothpaste, paper towels, etc. regularly.

You have to calculate your water, electricity, and gas needs by yourself, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable if they were cut off one day.

If you live alone without anyone supervising you, once you experience jet lag, your physical condition will immediately deteriorate drastically, even to a degree that you cannot imagine.

All of this will take a huge amount of time and energy.

These trivial matters of living alone cannot be solved once a week. They happen and need to be dealt with every day.

If you don't do it, it turns out that it will really make people sick and their immunity will decrease.

All of the above messy and trivial things are just to ensure the basic health of a person's living environment.

Not to mention when you get home from get off work or school and just want to lie in bed and do nothing.

Who was doing all this in the past?
Every day and night, repetitive trivial things happen constantly, and I have to remind myself over and over again to turn off the lights and put things away.

If I hadn't experienced all of this and tempered all of this myself.

You will never know that this is what life is like.

I thought that what I have now, as long as I worry about studying and working, everything will go smoothly and all will be well, is all there is in life.

I take everything I have now for granted and don't take it seriously.

Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, if you don’t go through this process, you are not really growing up.

Only by having the experience of living independently can you not be too tired of real life, nor take the comfort of life for granted.

That's really how life is.

While doing trivial things, you also have to work hard to make money and improve yourself.

Of course, living alone is also the only leisurely and beautiful time in life.

The downside of living alone is that you may feel so good that you don’t want to end it.

"But I have no choice. I was the one who insisted on moving out in the first place. I can't let a little difficulty overcome me, can I?"

Guan Yongyi stuck out her tongue and made a cute face at the man.

"And when I was least used to it and felt the most tortured at the beginning, there was Mianmian."

The short-haired girl clapped her hands, and the ragdoll cat immediately jumped onto the sofa, snuggled into her mother's arms, and made a comfortable purring sound.

"Is it Mianmian or me?"

Lu Jincheng couldn't help but laugh, revealing his lover's hidden meaning.

"Every time I see it, I think of you."

After saying this, Guan Yongyi couldn't help but blush.

293 has been lifted, and we are still working on 302. Those who haven’t seen it can go and see it.
