"Hey, isn't this young man Yan Yan's friend? His name seems to be Chen Chao. What kind of box is he carrying in his hand?"

Aunt Wang leaned closer to the screen and looked at it. How did he know where Xiyun lived? Could it be that Xiyun told him herself?

Doors in old communities like to be installed with two layers, the inner one is a security door, and the outer one is an iron door with mesh and railings.

After Chen Chao knocked on the door and waited for a while, the security door on the inner floor slowly opened. The first thing exposed was Chen Xiyun's short, slightly yellowish curly hair.

Through the railing, she raised her head and looked, "It's Chen Chao,"

"Um."

It was pitch dark in the house. He raised the soup box and gestured.

Chen Xiyun did not speak, but silently opened the iron door outside and moved aside.

Chen Chao hesitated for a moment, "Don't you want to change your shoes?"

"Oh oh oh," Chen Xiyun finally reacted and quickly walked to the cabinet in the back room and took out a pair of slippers.

Chen Chao stood outside and couldn't see anything in the dark.

After a while, a figure came out, holding a pair of black cotton slippers in his hand.

"Let's just wear them. My dad went back to China a long time ago and only wore them once when he came here." Putting the slippers on the ground, she raised her head and looked at Chen Chao.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just don't dirty the floor in your house." He put on his slippers and walked in. From the dull sound of bang bang bang, he could tell that the house had wooden floors.

Looking left and right, Chen Xiyun closed the two doors behind her.

Chen Chao slowly adapted to the light in the house, "Why don't you turn on the lights? It's so dark, and it's only the afternoon. Why don't you open the curtains?" He frowned.

"It's nothing. It's good to save some electricity and be a little dark."

"By the way, where should I put the box?" There was still the smell of rice and meat mixed with spices in the air. He easily lifted the soup box to the wooden coffee table in front of the sofa in the living room.

"Just put it there," Chen Xiyun hurriedly walked to the kitchen again.

She doesn't wear pajamas like Tan Yan at home, she still wears casual black loose clothes.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

She walked over curiously, and sure enough, she started frying the half-fried chicken legs again, with a small energy-saving lamp hanging on the wall next to it.

There were only two fried chicken legs on the plate, and two more marinated chicken nuggets were placed on the backing board.

"You," Chen Chao didn't know what to say. Since the relationship between them was a chance encounter, it was difficult to say why he hadn't eaten yet and wasn't responsible for his own body.

It is estimated that Chen Xiyun's image will continue to be greatly compromised after speaking out.

"I have something to do." She explained in a rare way,

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiyun actually started to give reasons, which surprised Chen Chao.

"What have you been doing?"

"Look at the ginkgo trees."

"Where is Jinxing Road? It's really beautiful right now." Chen Chao agreed understandingly.

"Well, did you make the chicken soup that was delivered today?"

Isn't this nonsense? How can Tan Yan cook when he has a cold? But when he saw Chen Xiyun frying chicken legs, he couldn't think of anything to say.

She could only smile, but Chen Xiyun didn't see it. She was just concentrating on frying the chicken legs. Just pretend that Chen Chao was silent and didn't reply.

"It feels like all you eat today is chicken," he laughed out loud at the thought, "Chicken Leg Girl, hahaha."

Chen Chao couldn't help but picture the ferocious look of the slightly sassy woman chewing on the chicken legs in his mind. Chen Chao really couldn't hold it back.

"Why are you laughing?" Chen Xiyun glanced at Chen Chao strangely, and called me Chicken Leg Girl? Is it freezing outside? But it is indeed much warmer inside the house.

"Nothing, uh, I mean today is the beginning of winter, so I stewed chicken soup to go away the cold." He thought of the reason.

"No wonder, it's the beginning of winter in a blink of an eye. I didn't even know it." She sighed, turned off the fire on the hot stove, walked to the balcony next to her and opened the curtains. The light penetrated into the room, making it a little brighter.

It was blocked a lot by the big trees outside the window.

"The leaves haven't turned yellow yet," Chen Xiyun looked out the window and saw that the wind was still blowing the big trees.

How long would it take to fry a chicken drumstick with such inefficiency? The key is that Chen Xiyun didn't see any sign of being hungry, so he was leisurely and leisurely.

There was no other way, so he turned on the fire and fried two chicken legs together.

"Why is it turning yellow? That's a camphor tree outside your window, an evergreen plant. Don't you smell a little faint woody fragrance?" Most of the community is made of camphor trees. He could guess a rough idea even without looking.

"You think I don't know? It's just a sigh of relief. It's a large evergreen tree with camphor smell in its branches and leaves. Its bark is yellow-brown, and its crown is wide and oval..."

Chen Xiyun immediately explained the characteristics of the camphor tree.

Before taking a breath, she said, "How did you know that today is the beginning of winter? I thought you were the kind of person who couldn't live one day at a time." She watched with interest as Chen Chao flipped the chicken legs in the kitchen.

"Haha," he put the last two chicken legs on the plate, "I also checked the reminder on my phone," Chen Chao said sincerely.

"Don't you even want to pretend?"

At this time, the WeChat message on Chen Xiyun's phone rang. She opened it and saw that it was from Aunt Wang, asking her what she was doing now and what Chen Chao was doing.

Aunt Wang saw it, and remembered the surveillance outside the door. She was probably worried about her own safety, so she quickly sent a message back, telling Aunt Wang that Chen Chao only came to deliver chicken soup after listening to Tan Yan's words, so that she could rest assured.

Aunt Wang finally let go of her slight worry. That young man from Chen Chao didn't look like a gangster.

"No need," he put the plate on the coffee table, "you can eat quickly. We welcome you to the whole chicken set meal this afternoon, chicken drumstick girl."

"What?" Chen Xiyun put down her phone, ran to the kitchen with her rice bowl, filled a bowl full of rice, and sat on the sofa.

Chen Chao turned on the big light in the living room and it suddenly became bright.

The decoration in the living room is very simple. There is not even a TV installed, there are only two holes, which are probably traces of the TV being installed on the wall before.

"Then you should eat first." Looking at Chen Xiyun drinking chicken soup, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his laughter again and was about to leave. After all, the mission was completed.

"I'm leaving first." He shook the key in his hand.

Chen Xiyun stopped picking up the rice, paused for a moment, then said "oh" lightly, and then bit into the chicken leg.

"You can bring a chicken leg to eat. I can't finish five of them myself, and there's also this big box of chicken soup."

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Chao took a chicken leg in his mouth and said, "Chicken leg girl, I'm leaving first," he shouted vaguely, and opened the first security door with some strangeness.
