The winter vacation at Southern High School was not long, about 30 days. After the gathering, it was time to prepare for the new year. After the new year, it was time to visit relatives and friends. School started again before the Lantern Festival at home.
After a winter vacation, the students were particularly festive. In addition to wearing new clothes, there were always smiles on their faces. Especially the girls, who were all dressed up. Autumn Beam could clearly see that many of them had light makeup on. Even the classic beauty, Liu Qi, had drawn her eyebrows. Her eyebrows were like mountains, and she looked extremely beautiful. Walking on the road, they would greet each other with smiles and say "Happy New Year" to each other. Their mood would also be exceptionally good. It was just after the tenth day of the new year, and it was still the time to pay a New Year's visit. As the Lantern Festival was approaching, someone suggested having a Lantern Festival dinner. Everyone would sit around and eat glutinous rice balls.
After some discussion, the class monitor thought that this idea was feasible, and the location was arranged in the male dormitory. They could totally buy the materials and make it themselves. That would be more interesting. Hence, the class monitor ordered Autumn Beam, Hu Shi, and Liu Qi to buy ingredients.
Autumn Beam and Liu Qi didn't go into the kitchen. They were definitely experts in eating glutinous rice balls, but they were amateurs in making them. It was no exaggeration to say that they didn't even know what Tangyuan was made of. Fortunately, Hu Shi understood. Hu Shi was in charge of choosing the materials, Liu Qi was in charge of bargaining, and Autumn Beam had to do the least technical work--moving things.
Autumn Beam couldn't help but laugh at herself." It seems that you two are making the best use of your talents. Compared to you, I'm at most making the best use of everything."”Liu Qi smiled but did not say anything, while Hu Shi appeared somewhat smug.
In the farmer's market, Hu Shi was choosing sesame paste and glutinous rice flour. He focused on picking and choosing, looking over and over again. Autumn Beam wanted to laugh, so she lowered her head and whispered to Liu Qi,""I bet he will choose this shop in the end.”
"How did you know?" Liu Qi was puzzled.
"Just watch!" Autumn Beam casually picked up two bags of sesame paste in different packaging and walked over to ask Hu Shi,""Dr. Hu, please help me take a look. Which of these two bags of sesame paste is better?”
Hu Shi solemnly took it and took a closer look under the sun. After a while, he said,"This bag, this bag of sesame paste is darker, so it's better.”
Autumn Beam smiled. He took the two bags of sesame paste and handed them to Liu Qi. He turned his head and said to Hu Shi,"Alright, stop pretending to be an expert. The two packets of sesame paste are the same." However, this bag is 100 grams, and that bag is 150 grams. Your eyes are really divine. Hurry up, don't dawdle. Hurry up and buy it. Don't waste time here.”Liu Qi looked at the packaging carefully and smiled.
"You don't understand. I'm testing the boss's reaction.”Hu Shi whispered to the two of them," If the things in his house are not good, I'm afraid that the buyer will look at them carefully.”
"Really? The boss is a veteran. Maybe he knew that a newbie like you wouldn't be able to see anything, so he wouldn't be afraid.”
"You're so boring. Alright, this is it.”
"Haha, look, your true colors are revealed, right?”Autumn Beam said to Liu Qi with a smile.
"Don't deliberately make things difficult for him. I think Hu Shi is not bad. He knows how to cook and is a good man at home.”
"Um, according to what you're saying, I'm not a good man? You don't have to be so biased. You only know how to praise your Hu Shi and belittle me.”
"Whose Hu Shi is this? You…Autumn Beam, you're so annoying!" Liu Qi pouted.
"Your family! Haha." Hu Shi also teased her with a cheeky smile.
"Hu Shi, I'm just joking. You really don't think of yourself as an outsider. Liu Qi is clearly my wife. You can't bully a brother's wife. Don't you dare snatch her away. I'll kill you.”Autumn Beam smiled wickedly and raised her right hand in a chopping motion. Liu Qi was both happy and angry at being teased by the two boys.
"Don't you have Xie Ling? Why are you fighting with me?"
"Beautiful women, the more the merrier.”
"Who is Xie Ling?" Liu Qi asked curiously.
"Uh, I can't say. I'm afraid Autumn Beam will hit me.”Hu Shi immediately shut up.
"Autumn Beam, go ahead." Liu Qi refused to let it go.
"It's nothing. You don't know him."
"You guys are really shameless.”Liu Qi was overjoyed, but he deliberately pretended to be angry, wanting to force Autumn Beam to tell him his little secret. However, Autumn Beam refused to say anything, so Liu Qi had no choice but to give up.
On the bus back, Liu Qi was all smiles. His thin eyebrows were slightly raised. He was really good-looking. Hu Shi, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but praise her for her beauty, causing many people in the car to turn their heads to look at them. Liu Qi lowered his head in embarrassment and scolded Hu Shi softly,"Hu Shi, you're so annoying. Stop talking. It's so embarrassing.”Hu Shi didn't say anything, but he still smiled foolishly.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, more than 30 people in the class squeezed into the male dormitory to make glutinous rice balls. It was lively and lively. The experienced students wrapped it up well. Not only was it round, but it was also of a moderate size. Autumn Beam couldn't wrap it well. After wrapping the sesame paste inside, she couldn't knead it properly. There was a small tip in the middle, and it was forcefully wrapped into a "bun". He wasn't the only one who did this. Many girls did the same. Liu Qi was much " smarter ". Although she couldn't make it round, she secretly pulled out the tip and applied a piece of glutinous rice flour on it. It was like a patch. Autumn Beam happened to see it." What a cute girl." She smiled and shook her head. Liu Qi smiled mischievously at him when he noticed…
With so many people working together, it was almost done. The dormitory had electricity restrictions, so the power of the electrical appliances could not be too high. Therefore, they were divided into four dormitories and used four electric rice cookers to cook the glutinous rice balls. Not long after, a fragrance filled the air. The fragrance of sesame seeds quickly spread out, causing everyone to drool. Hu Shi was a little anxious. He lifted the lid of the pot, and a thick stream of hot steam came out of the pot. She used her chopsticks to poke it, but it wasn't cooked yet. He still had to wait a little longer, maybe three minutes.”
"Ping! Ping! Bang! Bang!" The comrades in the dormitory next door had already started to knock on the pots and pans to eat.
"I'm not waiting anymore. Let's eat." Hu Shi said. In front of delicious food, this guy really didn't have much patience. "Alright, everyone pick up your bowls and chopsticks and eat!”Although most of them were amateurs, the taste was not bad. The skin was smooth and soft, and the inside was sweet. Everyone liked it.
"Yay! I should be able to eat what I made myself.”Wang Xiaofeng laughed.
"Eh, I ate a patched glutinous rice ball. It's so strange. Who did this? It was really too talented.”Hu Shi shouted.
"Hey, aren't you talented? This was made by Liu Qi. A talented scholar paired with a talented woman, or you and Liu Qi are fated to be able to eat this.”Autumn Beam shook her head. Hu Shi also thought that it was extremely cute and looked at Liu Qi with a smile. Liu Qi pouted again. Autumn Beam continued eating. Who knew that he would also eat a Patched Tangyuan at this time. Seeing that no one had noticed, he quickly swallowed it.
Sesame paste glutinous rice balls with white sugar were so sweet that everyone's hearts were filled with sweetness. Autumn Beam would always get carried away when she was happy. In front of everyone, he suddenly asked Hu Shi,"What do you think of Liu Qi?”
"What do you want?" Hu Shi glanced at Liu Qi and then at him.
"Tell me, what do you think of Liu Qi? Tell me the truth."
" Very good. Beautiful and kind." What Hu Shi said was absolutely true.
"Liu Qi, what do you think of Hu Shi?”
Liu Qi found his question strange. He thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what Autumn Beam was up to.
"Tell me, in your heart, what kind of person is Hu Shi?”
"Not bad. You're literary and free." Obviously, she was speaking from the bottom of her heart.
"Since you two admire each other and have such a good impression of each other, then you two should be together! What do you think?"
When everyone heard his words, they were all shocked. The glutinous rice balls in their mouths almost fell back into their bowls, and they were instantly speechless. They were also confused. What was going on? They couldn't figure out why Autumn Beam would do such a thing on a whim. Seeing that no one spoke, Autumn Beam could only continue the conversation. "Does anyone have any objections? If you have any objections, you can voice them now. Chen Xin, do you have any objections?"
Chen Xin was shocked and quickly waved his hand.”As she spoke, she hid at the door.
"Alright, since no one has any objections, let's do it this way! Then immediately send him to the bridal chamber." Autumn Beam still didn't know how to restrain herself and went even further.
"Autumn Beam, what nonsense are you spouting? Hu Shi, scold him." Liu Qi said angrily.
"What? What are you scolding him for?" Hu Shi asked. He was the one who was happy and pretended to be in a difficult position. Moreover, he was at a loss and did not know how to deal with it.
Liu Qi had never expected Hu Shi's reaction. "Autumn Beam, you're so annoying. In the future, don't have any random boyfriends!”As she spoke, she was about to cry. Her red eyes were filled with tears. Autumn Beam knew that she had gone overboard this time and hurriedly apologized to her. "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose.”He took out a tissue and handed it to her." Actually, Hu Shi isn't bad either. He's barely worthy of you.”
"You still dare to say that? Autumn Beam, you're an idiot, an idiot! Don't mention anything about a boyfriend to me again, or I'll ignore you again.”Before she finished eating the glutinous rice balls, she hurriedly put down her bowl and chopsticks and went out alone. Autumn Beam knew that she had made her unhappy and did not dare to make her unhappy again. She glanced at Hu Shi and motioned for him to chase after her. Hu Shi had already finished a bowl and was about to scoop another bowl, but Liu Qi left angrily. He couldn't care less about eating and immediately ran out to catch up. How could the boys guess a girl's thoughts? Hu Shi, who had a rough heart, thought that it was nothing to talk and laugh with her. He didn't expect her to be so angry. He thought to himself that he had to be careful in the future and not make her angry.
Hu Shi caught up to her and walked side by side with her. She did not look at him, but he could clearly see the tears on her face. "This Autumn Beam is too much. How can she joke like this? I'm going to give her a good scolding when I get back tonight.”
"Hmph, stop pretending. Don't think that I can't tell that you were very happy just now.”Liu Qi frowned and shouted as he walked. His words were filled with anger.
"Liu Qi, Liu Qi! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong. I'll definitely have a good talk with Autumn Beam later. I guarantee that he won't make such jokes again.”Hu Shi panicked and grabbed her arm. Liu Qi flung his hand away." Go away, don't follow me!"”Hu Shi stood there in a daze and watched her leave.
On the other side, in the boys 'dormitory, the students started chatting after eating the glutinous rice balls. It was as if nothing had happened and they were as calm as ever. However, Lu Lijia could not hide the unhappiness in her heart. She walked over with a straight face and questioned Autumn Beam,"What's wrong with you today?" As he spoke, he also went out. Autumn Beam was stunned for a long time before she regained her senses. She took a deep breath and asked herself,""That's right. What's wrong with me?”
