Chapter 64
Chapter 64 She Is Not an Exception.
Hearing what Mei Ruo said, Xia Ning, standing by them, feels that she is an outsider, the third person between Mei Ruo and Yi Yunrui.
Well, she hates the feeling, the feeling of being the third person.
Xia Ning feels uncomfortable in her heart, but she doesn’t show it on her face. She lowers her head to sip the tea. Her hand grasps the handle of the cup tightly.
“Hum. We will meet.” Yi Yunrui responds casually. He asks Xia Ning, “Besides coffee, do you like tea?”
Xia Ning doesn’t expect the topic will be turned to her. She has a pause and responds, “Yes. I like two kinds of tea, black tea and Tieguanyin. Commissar Mei’s Tieguanyin is top grade. It is lucky to taste it.
Mei Ruo smiles, “If Miss Xia likes, you may take some with you. Anyway, Commander Yi also likes it.”
“Oh... Thank you.” Mei Ruo mentions Yi Yunrui. Xia Ning hesitates to respond.
“No, thanks. I prefer coffee.” Yi Yunrui refuses frankly.
The smile on Mei Ruo’s face freezes, but it returns to normal soon, “Does the Commander change his taste? I just know it now. Sorry. What kind of coffee does Commander like? I can try to get some for you.”
Xia Ning’s heart tightens. By saying this, Mei Ruo is obviously pleasing Yi Yunrui.
Pleasing him right in her presence.
The previous uncomfortableness might be a misunderstanding, but she feels really bad now when Mei Ruo goes to this stage.
After the Ou Yixuan issue, she is not going to be treated by other people as a third person.
Thinking of this, Xia Ning puts down the tea and her face darkens.
“Commissar Mei.” With a seeming smile, Yi Yunrui looks at her, “Haven’t you known already what kind of coffee I like?”
“Err...Oh, yes. Cappuccino. That’s fancy coffee. As a matter of fact, single origin coffee will be better.”
It seems that Mei Ruo sticks to her theory. Xia Ning frowns lightly.
“Well...” Xia Ning speaks, “I haven’t had dumplings for quite a long time. It is complicated to make dumplings and I don’t have the time. However, I think Commissar Mei must make very delicious dumplings.”
“Oh, sorry. I forget this.” Mei Ruo pats her head. She comes to hold Xia Ning’s hand, “Come with me. I still have not finished some of them. I would like you to give me a hand.”
Xia Ning nods and goes to the kitchen with Mei Ruo.
Once she is in the kitchen, Xia Ning is shocked!
The design and the color of the kitchen...are exactly the same as that in Yasi Villa!
“Come here. I don’t know if it is enough, so I make some more.” Mei Ruo leads Xia Ning to sit by the round marble table.
On the table, there are three styles of dumplings. They are red, green and dark grey respectively, telling what kinds of fillings inside.
The shape of the dumplings is also beautiful. There is a pot of soup there, giving out flavor. It seems that Mei Ruo makes considerable efforts to prepare this dumpling dinner.
Mei Ruo takes a piece of dough and puts some filling inside. She kneads the dough and says, “Last time when I was the commissar of the Commander, he liked my dumplings very much. At that time, the Commander always brought many people with him. I prepared everything by myself. That’s a tiring job. Well, it is easy now. Only you and the Commander here. It is much easier for me.”
Saying this, Mei Ruo has finished one and puts it aside. Xia Ning takes a piece of dough and follows Mei Ruo’s way, trying to make one herself.
She finishes one and put it beside Mei Ruo’s. By comparison, she is embarrassed for the difference between cloud and mud.
Comparison can really be killing...
“I, I don’t do it well.” Xia Ning is shy.
Mei Ruo is going to say something when she sees Yi Yunrui come in the kitchen and sit by Xia Ning. She is surprised, “Well? The Commander didn’t ever come into the kitchen before. Are you hungry and coming to find foods?”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. Did Yi Yunrui never come into the kitchen? As far as she knows, it seems that the Army Commander likes cooking. He fights with her for cooking.
“Well.” Yi Yunrui takes a piece of dough and makes a dumpling too and puts it by Xia Ning’s, “Look, my dumpling looks most special. I will surely find it out later.”
Yi Yunrui’s dumpling is in a strange shape. It can be identified easily whether it is raw or done.
Xia Ning laughs, “Like other men, you should stay outside to drink the tea and read the newspaper. Kitchen is for women.”
Yi Yunrui pauses and takes another piece of dough, “The newspaper is not as good-looking as you are.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning twitches her lips. Gosh, Commissar Mei is here!
Xia Ning hits Yi Yunrui with her toe lightly, Yi Yunrui lifts his eyebrows and grabs the dumplings from her. He murmurs, “You put too little filling inside. More filling makes more delicious dumplings.”
Xia Ning is embarrassed...
Looking at their intimate interactions, Mei Ruo’s heart aches. In her memory, Yi Yunrui was always quiet and rarely spoke. He was decisive and never wasted any minute in unimportant things. Many women liked him, but few of them could exchange words with him. He refused all the other women.
Though she was his commissar for not a very long time, she knew that this man looked cold, but he was extremely gentle. In the past, she often thought that she was an exception to Yi Yunrui. In fact, comparing with other women, she was an exception. So, she made it sure that she would spend her life with Yi Yunrui.
Yi Yunrui was not her first choice. Making this decision, she knows that she is hurting another man.
This time she comes back with the decision. That incident makes it clear that who she loves is Yi Yunrui, not him.
Though, what she does will bring difficulties to Yi Yunrui, but no one can change it once Mei Ruo makes the decision.
But...
When she heard that Yi Yunrui had got married. She felt... the whole world collapsed.
He said that he would wait for her.
She had just been away for two years, only two years!
Until today, she realizes that her considering herself to be an exception to Yi Yunrui is totally a childish idea.
At least, Yi Yunrui has never made fun with her like this...
At least, Yi Yunrui has never held her hand in front of other people, telling that she belongs to him...
At the moment, she is vaguely aware that the real relation between Yi Yunrui and her is just good friends.
Thinking of this, Mei Ruo’s heart aches more badly, unconsciously, tears blur her eyes.
“Commissar Mei. What’s wrong?” Seeing Mei Ruo do not finish the dumplings for a quite a while, Xia Ning asks?
Mei Ruo pauses and quickly she adjusts her mood, “No. I was just calculating the dumplings. Thirty dumplings for each should be enough.”
Xia Ning is shocked and her month unconsciously opens. Thirty! She surely cannot eat so many, but the Commander can.
Mei Ruo puts down the dumpling in her hand and stands up, “Well, I will cook the dumplings. They will be ready soon.”
