It was already past twelve o'clock when Su Weichu finished his work and came out of the study. After coming out, he first glanced towards the studio. The door was closed and there was no light. He should have returned to the bedroom, so he closed the study door and then gently opened the bedroom door on the side.
All the main lights in the bedroom were turned off, leaving only a faint warm-colored wall lamp. There was a small ball curled up on the bed, which should have been tidy at ordinary times. The ups and downs of her body could be clearly seen. She was not playing with her phone, so she must have fallen asleep. Su Weichu's eyes were a little warm, and he walked lightly into the cloakroom to get his pajamas. When he opened the closet, his eyes fell on her few scattered clothes, and he couldn't help but frowned. Did she only have so few clothes
Normally, Su Weichu would come out wrapped in a bath towel directly after taking a shower, but today he deliberately put on all his pajamas in the bathroom and wiped his hair until it was half dry before coming out. As soon as he came out, he saw Ying Yanluo, who was originally wrapped tightly in the quilt. He didn't know how she rolled over, but one of her legs stretched out of the quilt and hung on the edge of the bed. Su Weichu looked at him and couldn't help but chuckle.
He walked over, reached out to lift her calf that was hanging on the edge of the bed and put it into the quilt. His warm palm touched her skin, which felt indescribably delicate. After a moment of uncertainty, he quickly put her calf back and pulled down her trouser leg. His eyes fell on the shin bone of her calf. Because of her fair skin, the few scabbed scars on it were particularly conspicuous.
Perhaps she felt cold in her sleep, Ying Yanluo couldn't help but kick her legs and consciously hid her legs under the quilt.
Su Weichu looked up at her and couldn't help laughing. She usually looked calm and composed, and it turned out that she had no guard at all. She slept very well, quietly and gently, with curled eyelashes and plump and moist light pink lips.
After turning off the lights, the entire bedroom became dim. Su Weichu pulled the quilt she had rolled up and covered himself with it. She seemed to be using the shower gel she had brought with her. It was probably the first time he had come into contact with this scent. He felt that the entire quilt was filled with the fragrance of her shower gel. Su Weichu took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. He originally thought that he would have difficulty falling asleep, but unexpectedly, he fell asleep quite quickly after smelling this faint fragrance.
In the middle of the night, Ying Yanluo was woken up by thirst, as expected. She reached out her hand dazedly and touched the bedside table beside her. Normally, she should be able to find her water cup, but today she fumbled for a long time and found nothing. Could it be that it was placed on the bedside table on the other side
So she groped in the dark again, rubbing towards the other side, and felt as if something was blocking her. Was it a pillow? She pressed it over without hesitation. Why was the pillow so hard today? It was not soft at all. But she still pressed the pillow, and then stretched out her hand to grope on the bedside table on the other side.
If Ying Yanluo was awakened by thirst, Su Weichu was awakened by her pressure. His chest was compressed and he could hardly breathe. He woke up immediately. He stretched out his hand with difficulty to turn on the wall lamp at the head of the bed. After turning on the light, he became more clear-headed and saw clearly the pressure on his chest...
Ying Yanluo fumbled around for a few times but found nothing. She was startled by the sudden light. When she was in a state of confusion, she suddenly heard someone ask her, "What are you doing?"
"I'm looking for a cup to drink some water..." The voice sounded a little aggrieved.
As soon as Su Weichu heard her voice, he knew that the man was not awake yet. The reason why she was able to wake him up was that she lay across his chest. "Get up first, I'll go get you some water." His voice was hoarse as he spoke.
Ying Yanluo actually shrank back obediently at this time. This shrinkage inevitably caused some delay, and a short, muffled sound came out of Su Weichu's throat.
Su Weichu poured a cup of warm water and originally planned to hand the cup to her, but seeing that she was sitting a little unsteadily, he sat down behind her and let her back lean against his chest. Only then did he feel at ease to hand her the cup and hold it up for her.
When Su Weichu put the water cup away and came back, he had already fallen asleep again with the quilt rolled up.
Su Weichu looked at it and chuckled helplessly.
…
Ying Yanluo slept very comfortably. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the clean gray-white ceiling. After a few seconds, her distracted eyes slowly focused. This was not her room. This realization made Ying Yanluo sit up in bed, and then some memories flooded into her mind.
This is Su Weichu's room. She is married to Su Weichu...
Ying Yanluo reached out and rubbed her head, only to find that she was the only one on the bed.
Where is Su Weichu
Ying Yanluo came out of the bathroom after washing up, changed into home clothes, then left the room and went downstairs.
As I reached the stairs, I suddenly heard voices coming from downstairs.
Xiao Wei received a WeChat message from his boss last night, sending him a shopping list and asking him to deliver it on time at 9 a.m. Xiao, a worker, naturally agreed. The idea that the boss shouldn't exploit his weekends doesn't work here. After all, the boss pays him a salary. He only takes a weekend off when the boss takes a weekend off. What's wrong with buying groceries on the weekend? It's just right for him to go home and take a nap after buying groceries.
Oh! Dancing is so tiring!
Su Weichu took the shopping bag from Xiao Wei and asked, "Have you bought everything I want?"
Xiao Wei nodded immediately, "I bought it, I bought it. I asked Auntie to kill and clean the fish."
"Well, that's fine. Thank you for your hard work."
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard.”
Xiao Wei had often run errands for the boss to buy groceries. Under normal circumstances, he would shamelessly stay and eat for free. After all, as the boss's chief special assistant, he knew well how good the boss's cooking skills were. But forget it now. He decided not to stay and be a light bulb.
Su Weichu closed the door, turned around and saw Ying Yanluo coming down the stairs.
"Morning, awake?"
Ying Yanluo hummed, "Did you buy groceries?"
"Yes, I bought some vegetables and will cook them for you at noon."
"You can cook?" Ying Yanluo was a little surprised.
Su Weichu: "All the men in our family can cook."
"I made some porridge. Come over here and have some."
After Ying Yanluo went downstairs, she followed him to the dining room. There was a casserole on the dining table, which should contain porridge.
"Have you eaten?" Ying Yanluo asked him.
"not yet."
"Then I'll get the bowl."
"Okay, the cabinet on the left." Su Weichu reminded.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, Ying Yanluo smelled a strong aroma. Her eyes were attracted by the bubbling stew pot. It should be simmering pork ribs. She smelled the aroma of pork ribs and swallowed involuntarily. Su Weichu came in at that moment and saw her staring at the stew pot. He smiled and said, "It's not done yet."
Ying Yanluo's face flushed, "I, I'll just take a look, I'll go get the bowl." As he said that, he quickly turned around to get the spoon and bowl.
Su Weichu cooked century egg and shredded chicken porridge, fried two poached eggs with golden edges, and served them with refreshing side dishes. Ying Yanluo drank a whole bowl of it, then thought about the pork rib soup that was still simmering in the kitchen and the ingredients he had not processed, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks after a moment of thought.
"Not eating anymore?"
"Save room for lunch." Ying Yanluo said honestly.
Su Weichu smiled, "That's fine too."
After breakfast, Ying Yanluo cleaned up the dishes and wanted to wash them. Su Weichu didn't need her to wash the dishes, but he still couldn't persuade her and reminded her to wear gloves. At the same time, he was also thinking that the family still needed to buy a dishwasher.
The sunshine was quite good today. Ying Yanluo carried all the blankets and pillows on the sofa to the balcony. Their apartment was on the ninth floor, which was not too high. They could clearly see the paths and flower beds in the community downstairs. There were many tea trees planted in the flower beds, and clusters of bright red camellia flowers were blooming.
Ying Yanluo wanted to help Su Weichu prepare the ingredients that would be used later, but Su Weichu was very determined. He didn't let her do anything, not even wash the vegetables. He even drove her out of the kitchen. In the end, she could only sit cross-legged on the sofa in the living room and watch TV.
As she was watching, she suddenly heard Su Weichu calling her from the kitchen.
"Coming." She put on her slippers and went to the kitchen.
Su Weichu was holding a soup bowl in his hand. Ying Yanluo knew at a glance that it was the pork ribs and corn soup he had been stewing. Her eyes lit up and she carefully took the bowl. Before she drank it, the aroma kept coming into her nose. "It smells so good."
"Try it and see how it tastes."
Ying Yanluo responded and took a sip of the soup first. The soup had the sweet and fresh fragrance of corn and carrots. The ribs were stewed very well and the meat was crispy.
"Is it delicious?" Su Weichu asked her.
Ying Yanluo's eyes lit up, "It's delicious."
Su Weichu smiled and said, "Everyone in our family likes to drink pork ribs and corn soup." It was all because of his mother. Because his mother loved to drink it, this pork ribs and corn soup became a must-have on their family's table. He didn't know why, but the three brothers and sisters had been eating it for so many years and had never gotten tired of it. At the beginning, Wei Jingyi asked him many times how to make this soup. If he had known that he was learning how to make this soup in order to please Yoyo, he would have thrown the pork ribs in his face.
Ying Yanluo looked at him with a gentle smile on his face as he said this, and couldn't help but envy him in her heart, "The atmosphere in your home is really great."
Su Weichu saw the envy in her eyes, and thinking of her family background, he felt a little prickly in his heart, and said softly: "We will have it too."
Because of what he said, Ying Yanluo almost lost her grip on the soup bowl. Fortunately, Su Weichu was quick to hold it, but the soup still spilled a little and splashed on the back of her fair hand. Su Weichu placed the soup bowl on the sink with one hand and held her wrist with the other hand and placed it under the faucet.
"Are you burned? Does it hurt?"
Su Weichu's voice was filled with urgency.
Ying Yanluo came to her senses and quickly said, "No, it doesn't hurt." After she said that, she realized how intimate their posture was at the moment. Her back was against his chest, and he was holding her wrist, washing the back of her hand that had just been splashed by the soup under the cold water. Her body stiffened uncontrollably.
The incident happened suddenly and Su Weichu did not have time to think too much. When he calmed down, he realized that he had deliberately warmed the pork rib soup when he handed it to her. The back of her hand was still white without any signs of burns. However, her sleeves were wet because of his actions, and he also noticed the stiffness of the person in his arms.
Just when Ying Yanluo was at a loss with her back stiff, Su Weichu suddenly turned off the water, then took a clean towel beside her and wiped the water stains on her hands, saying, "It's good that you didn't get burned. Your sleeves are wet. Go upstairs and change."
Ying Yanluo quickly agreed, and after he let go, she said, "I'm going to change my clothes," then turned around and trotted out of the kitchen.
