Jessica won't leave.
Tina didn't leave either.
Not only did she not leave, she also planned to stay in the town for a few days. She didn't know whether she wanted to cultivate herself for a while, or to learn about the depth of love.
No matter what, the two of them sent everyone off in person, one calm and indifferent, but the other with a smile on his face. It seems that he is the happiest person in the world, but in fact he just owns a small house without his name on the real estate certificate.
On the plane, Ma Yingjun and others kept peeking at Xiao Zheng with strange eyes. I know, but I don’t think so yet. For those who didn’t know, they thought he had forcibly kissed Sister Feng. That look in his eyes and that little expression made Xiao Zheng unable to bear it many times and wanted to catch him and beat him up.
"Nothing happened in Yanjing recently, right?" Xiao Zheng glanced at Ma Yingjun sitting next to him.
"We flew over the second night after you came over. Who knows more than you?" Ma Yingjun joked.
Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes: "If you don't know, just say you don't know. Where does all this nonsense come from?"
The man sitting in the front row covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Brother, your temper has become bad. Could it be that you were infected by Sister Tina?"
"It seems that I can no longer eat at the same table as the boss." Ju Pao said with a dull expression.
"Why?" the monkey asked in unison.
"I heard that people can be infected by eating." Ju Pao said seriously.
Ma Yingjun couldn't bear it anymore and laughed loudly. It made others complain for a while.
After nearly ten hours of sailing, Xiao Zheng and others finally landed successfully. Ma Yingjun and others did not take Xiao Zheng to have barbecue and drink, but took the car home directly. Xiao Zhengze rushed home non-stop. Not a second was lost.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, Xiao Zheng felt a little uneasy.
He imagined many scenarios of returning home, such as Lin Huayin preparing a grand party to welcome him home. For another example, even the mother-in-law also went out, including Aunt Jing, Bai Wuxia—
But when he pushed the door open and was about to control his emotions and not want to appear too shameless, he found that although the lights were on in the living room, the lively scene he imagined did not exist.
There was a pot base and two sets of cutlery on the dining table. There was a sound of chopping vegetables from the kitchen. The red wine was refrigerated in an ice bucket, and the soup pot was boiling, sending out white smoke. Xiao Zheng changed his shoes and felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle. There was no shortage of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty.
He quietly came to the kitchen door, stuck his head in, and looked at Lin Huayin who was preparing dinner: "I'm back."
Very calm, even slightly naughty tone.
He knew what kind of woman Lin Huayin was. She doesn't like excessive sensationalism, and she's also not good at showing emotions. If you have to push your emotions to that point, even if Lin Huayin's heart is satisfied. But his face will definitely not look too good.
He simply imitated Lin Huayin and restrained his emotions. Try to make yourself feel like you have never left and you are just going home from get off work normally.
"Yeah." Lin Huayin raised his eyes slightly, his tone was quite soothing. "Go wash your face, the food will be ready soon."
"Okay." Xiao Zheng closed the glass door and walked straight to the bathroom. The originally rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables in the kitchen suddenly stopped. It wasn't until a few minutes later that it started slowly.
When she returned to the restaurant, Lin Huayin had already placed a table full of meat and vegetarian dishes and was pouring red wine into two goblets.
Xiao Zheng walked forward quickly and said with a smile: "I'll pour it for you."
Lin Huayin did not refuse, and slowly sat on the chair, staring at Xiao Zheng with a calm expression.
After pouring the wine, Xiao Zheng handed her a glass, then sat back in his chair and raised the glass with a smile: "Cheers."
"Cheers." Lin Huayin raised his glass and drank it down with Xiao Zheng.
After drinking the wine, the two began to put food into the hot pot. Lin Huayin was as taciturn as ever, and Xiao Zheng didn't seem as talkative as before. The two of them were eating and ordering the dishes. Xiao Zheng was sweating profusely while Lin Huayin didn't eat much. But compared with the previous food intake, it is already a big deal.
During this period, she never ate or slept well. They are also facing tremendous work pressure. She didn't know how she survived, just like she didn't know how Xiao Zheng survived. She knew that she would be able to hold on, just like she knew that Xiao Zheng would be able to hold on.
She would not even complain to Xiao Zheng about the difficulties in life and work. Because she knew that Xiao Zheng would not share the dangers and sufferings he experienced with her.
It’s not selfishness, nor is it holding space. But they both know that some things are always better left unsaid than said.
When she determined the time for Xiao Zheng to return home, she left the company immediately, went shopping and bought ingredients, and then from getting ready until it got dark until nine o'clock in the evening, she did every step of the hot pot to perfection. She knew that Xiao Zheng loved spicy food, but he didn't like hemp pepper much, so she eliminated some of the hemp pepper and put in more Chaotian pepper. She knew that Xiao Zheng loved beef sauce more than XO sauce, so when cooking the sauce, she accurately put in the right amount of XO sauce, reaching a ratio of 3:7 with beef sauce.
Even for vegetable leaves, she knew that Xiao Zheng liked to eat green ones and didn't like yellow ones. But when buying vegetables in the supermarket, how can you buy all-green vegetables? So she picked them off piece by piece, eliminating the yellow and leaving the green.
She made all preparations just so that Xiao Zheng could have a meal that he was familiar with, liked, and satisfied with on his first day back home.
This is what she can and will do. Rather than crying and making a fuss like in romantic idol dramas.
A tranquil and peaceful life is what they pursue.
Xiao Zheng knew this very well.
At the dinner table, they sometimes chatted about irrelevant topics and sometimes told funny jokes. A bottle of red wine quickly ran low, but Lin Huayin quickly fetched a second bottle.
This was the most ridiculous thing she did after waiting for Xiao Zheng to come home.
Have two more glasses of wine.
Xiao Zheng took the wine bottle, opened it, poured the wine, then raised his glass and clinked his glass with Lin Huayin: "We haven't seen each other for a few days. I have a good drinking capacity."
Lin Huayin drank half of the glass, raised his eyes and said, "It's not bad at all."
The answer was an understatement, but it was also true. Back then, she was a fierce person who could fight Tina for 300 rounds. Although she was knocked down by Tina in the end. But for Lin Huayin, who doesn't drink much on weekdays, this is an impressive achievement.
The two drank another bottle of wine and ate some food. Xiao Zheng suddenly glanced at Lin Huayin with a half-smile, and said playfully: "Aren't you afraid that if you drink too much, I will take advantage of you?"
Lin Huayin raised his eyes slightly, with a hint of drunkenness on his face: "Aren't you afraid of disappointing the fun?"
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise. "You're not hiding scissors under your pillow again, are you?"
Lin Huayin avoided talking and asked, "Didn't you say I was cold?"
"I'm just joking, you don't have to take it seriously." Xiao Zheng grinned.
"I take it seriously." Lin Huayin pursed her lips and said. “And it’s substituted.”
When Xiao Zheng heard this, there was no look of discouragement or fear on his face. Instead, he smiled knowingly and thought to himself: This woman has changed. Not only can I make jokes, but I can also tell dirty jokes. I have improved by leaps and bounds!
