"The environment in Yancheng is rather harsh. The Fourth Master insisted on not bringing a chef with him this time, and he also refused to bring other people to take care of him. The only person I can think of who is willing to accept help and stay is Miss Shang. It just so happens that you also need to do an interview, so my arrangement can kill two birds with one stone." Yu Sheng explained.
"Tang Wei has never been such a spoiled and picky eater." Shang Shiyu sighed, and then sighed self-deprecatingly, "But that was the Tang Wei I knew before. The Tang Wei now is very unfamiliar to me. However, he is the son of the Tang Group, so it is natural for him to be picky."
"You misunderstood the Fourth Master." Yu Sheng shook his head and explained for the boss, "You are very aware of the Fourth Master's fainting a while ago. He is in a special situation now."
Hearing this, Shang Shiyu's heart suddenly tightened, "I heard the driver say that it was because he was too tired, is that really the case?"
Yu Sheng looked at her worried expression and suddenly felt that if he were in the Fourth Master's shoes, he would probably make such a ruthless decision. The more deeply the other person loves, the more he cannot bear to be dragged down.
His silence suddenly made Shang Shiyu panic. She took a step forward and said, "Yu Sheng, tell me the truth, is he sick?"
Yu Sheng was silent for a while, then nodded solemnly: "Yes."
Shang Shiyu took a deep breath, "What's the disease?"
——
In the afternoon, Tang Wei and Yu Sheng went out again. They didn't come back until around nine o'clock in the evening.
When he entered the room, he smelled the fragrance of food.
"You guys are back?" That cute little face poked out from the kitchen and smiled at him. She was wrapped in an apron, with long hair like clouds scattered on her shoulders, which made Tang Wei feel dazed for a moment. When they were together before, he was the one who cooked most of the time. Only occasionally when she did something wrong and asked for forgiveness, she would go into the kitchen and try her best to cook his favorite dishes to please him.
Often, he had no resistance to this practice. Moreover, he would be nervous every time outside the kitchen, fearing that she would bump into something or get burned in the kitchen.
"It may take a while. I'm afraid that if I finish it first, it will not be fresh when you come back, so I've only cooked rice now and haven't done any dishes yet." Shang Shiyu explained.
Tang Wei finally came back to his senses, "It doesn't matter."
"Then go wash your hands first. I'll call you when it's done." Shang Shiyu said and went back to the kitchen.
Yu Sheng felt like he was a bright light bulb here. He said very tactfully, "Fourth Master, you two can have dinner. Old Qi is next door, let me go over and have a couple of drinks with him, and I'll eat over there."
Yu Sheng said and left.
He took two steps, turned back, and strode to his room. He actually came out of the room dragging his suitcase.
Tang Wei glanced at him, "What are you doing?"
Yu Sheng coughed twice, "Old Qi lives alone over there, so it's just right for me to go over there. It's quite crowded for three people to live in this room."
Tang Wei narrowed his eyes, "When did you become so fond of acting on your own?"
"Fourth Master, you said it yourself before. I can choose where to live by myself."
"You were so enthusiastic in inviting a tenant for me, why don't you stay and entertain her?"
"It is indeed me who invited her, but it was you, the Fourth Master, who asked her to stay. So, you should treat Miss Shang well. Miss Shang will definitely not want me to entertain her." Yu Sheng carried the box, "Fourth Master, Lao Qi called me again, and I really have to go over. You guys eat and drink well tonight."
After he finished speaking, he quickly walked out with the box.
Tang Wei didn't say anything else. He looked towards the kitchen. The familiar figure appeared in his mind and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
—
He went to his room, changed into his home clothes, washed his hands, and went to the kitchen. She was making pine nut corn at the moment, and the kitchen was filled with fragrance, making people feel comfortable all over.
His gaze was fixed on her.
Compared to the past, she is now much more skilled in cooking. Stir-frying, adding water, and bringing seasonings are all done in an orderly manner.
Only her loose hair made her feel helpless. It disturbed her work and made her very distressed.
Tang Wei looked for a while, and finally, turned around and left the kitchen.
Shang Shiyu took the pine nut corn out of the pot and cooked the boiled chicken breast. Just as she was about to put her hair behind her ears, a big hand suddenly grabbed her hair from behind.
She was stunned.
Even though she didn't look back, the familiar fragrance from such a close distance allowed her to immediately recognize who was behind her.
"This rubber band is used to tie documents. Do you mind?" Tang Wei's gentle voice sounded in his ears.
Her heartbeat quickened. "I don't mind."
He helped her tie up her long hair slowly, his movements were much more clumsy than before, "Will it hurt you?"
"No." Shang Shiyu held the spatula tightly in his hand, "Are you so considerate to everyone?"
Tang Wei did not answer directly, but only said: "I haven't done this kind of thing in all these years, so I'm worried that I might pull your hair."
Her eyes were sore and her heart was sad.
The corners of his lips were curved, and his tone sounded like a relaxed smile, "You've never tied Yun Ling's hair?"
Tang Wei pursed his lips.
This kind of thing, in this life, he could only do it for her.
He tied the last bunch and then said, "There's no chance yet."
Shang Shiyu smiled bitterly, "So, in the future... there will be opportunities like this. Right?"
"Okay." Tang Wei let go of her hand. As if he didn't hear her sad question, he just said, "Take off your apron, and I'll do the rest of the work."
Since he chose not to answer, she didn't ask any further questions.
"No, just go out and wait, I'll be done soon."
"Shang Shang, you are a guest."
"I'm not here as a guest." Shang Shiyu turned around and looked at him. "In fact, Yu Sheng wants me to come and take care of you. I've already made plans. The company has approved three days of leave for me. I plan to go back to Youcheng with you in two days."
Tang Wei looked at her in confusion, "I said I would accept your interview tonight."
"It has nothing to do with your interview. I have already promised Yu Sheng that I will stay and take care of you for the next two days." She was very stubborn.
Tang Wei laughed, somewhat helplessly, "I'm not such a spoiled person, I don't need you or anyone else to take such great pains to take care of me. After the interview tonight, you can go back early tomorrow morning. Yancheng is a place with a bad environment and bad air. You don't need to stay here for a long time, lest you get acclimatized."
Shang Shiyu looked at him solemnly, with layers of regret unconsciously emerging in his eyes, "Tang Wei, although we are no longer a couple now, but you are so seriously ill, I will never refuse to take care of you if I can."

Tang Wei is pronounced wei, not mo, so don’t make the mistake.
