Yan Yan came to visit, and he could only stay at the base for three days in total. Zhuang Yiyun couldn't go out, so he could only take him around the base's living area. Even so, the time was too easy to pass. Yan Yan didn't get out of bed on the first day. Zhuang Yiyun couldn't get over the topic of being unable to do it at the age of 30.
The next day, Yan Yan got in touch with the auntie at the restaurant while he was having breakfast. Not only did she agree to bring back the food for him when he went shopping, she also helped him borrow a stove from the chef. Yan Yan happily returned to Zhuang Yiyun's table, sat down and said, "Brother, I'll set up the table for lunch, and you decide who to invite."
"What?" Zhuang Yiyun was surprised, but then he understood. He held Yan Yan's hand, shook his head and said, "Yan Yan, you don't have to do this for me. You just need to take care of yourself. I don't have to deal with any interpersonal relationships here. Communication between colleagues is limited to professional matters."
"Brother, I want to cook ten dishes for you. Can you eat them all by yourself? What do I, a newly graduated college student, know about workplace communication? I want to let you try the new dishes I learned, but I'm afraid that if I cook too much, you won't be able to finish it. It would be best if you can find a few colleagues to share the work." Yan Yan smiled brightly.
Zhuang Yiyun looked at him and said nothing. They have been here for half a year, and no matter how good the chef is, he can't make the home-cooked food. He often heard his colleagues talk about wanting to eat home-cooked food. Yan Yan said so, but his kindness will definitely benefit him. He has always been cold and doesn't care about interpersonal relationships at all, but Yan Yan has plans for him.
"You said before that you didn't cook for me because you were born to be a good wife and mother. Yanyan, you don't need to put yourself in a difficult position now."
Yan Yan didn't expect that he still remembered what he said during the quarrel. He waved his hand and said, "It's just a meal. What's the big deal?"
He was not pretending, he really didn't feel wronged, he was happier to do something for Zhuang Yiyun than to let him wait. He really wanted to let Zhuang Yiyun taste the flavor of his hometown, and also to thank his colleagues who supported and cared for him.
After Zhuang Yiyu left, he grew up a lot without realizing it. He knew how to cherish and be grateful, and he became more well-rounded in his interpersonal relationships. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
"You don't think you'll just sit and eat while I cook, you need to help prepare the food."
So that morning, after the aunt from the restaurant brought back the vegetables, Yan Yan and Zhuang Yiyun went to the kitchen. Zhuang Yiyun had been at the base for half a year and had never stepped into the restaurant kitchen. The two handsome young men were pleasing to the eye, and the uncles and aunts in the kitchen all came up to help pick and wash the vegetables.
Zhuang Yiyun found it interesting to listen to Yan Yan chatting with the uncles and aunts about the little things in daily life. These were all Yan Yan's way of taking the trouble to help him experience life and integrate into life.
When the dishes were almost ready, Yan Yan sent him to invite people. In fact, Yan Yan had asked some questions during the video chat before. He picked out the non-confidential ones and Yan Yan had heard them. Yan Yan basically knew who was in his team. Zhuang Yiyun went into the work area and called the colleagues who had more contact with him. Finally, when he passed by Mr. Xun's office, he hesitated for a while. The image of Yan Yan cutting vegetables seriously flashed before his eyes. He still went over and knocked on the door and invited Mr. Xun as well.
Zhuang Yiyun's lover is a young man, and no one thought they would be able to have such a meal. When they sat at the table and looked at the dishes in front of them, the atmosphere became unprecedentedly lively.
