"Why-"
Yu Pingchuan held onto the spatula firmly, not letting her touch it,
"No trouble, no trouble, the fish soup is almost ready, just sit there and wait!"
Ning Li struggled a bit:
"I, I, I saw a painting last time, and I just want to ask you some questions, look."
Hearing this, Yu Pingchuan finally let go.
"That's fine, Xiaolin, you come!"
Lin Yaohui was overjoyed, and immediately ran over to take the spatula.
"Mr. Yu, you and Ali haven't seen each other for a long time, haven't you? Let's talk more, and leave this meal to me!"
Yu Pingchuan took off the apron again and handed it over.
"I wanted to show you something, but it's a pity. But don't worry, I'm almost done cooking the fish soup, and it will take a few minutes! You can try it later!"
Ning Li: "OK."
The two went to the study.
"What did you say you were looking at?" Yu Pingchuan asked curiously.
Ning Li choked for a moment, and immediately reported a name.
Yu Pingchuan thought about it.
"You mean that? Those are his early works, the technique is not yet mature, and the creative mood is a bit extreme, there is nothing to see."
Ning Li: "Oh."
"It's you—"
Yu Pingchuan sat down behind the desk,
"The last time I changed the painting, I haven't asked you yet, how long has it been since you started writing?"
Ning Li's heart tightened.
"It's been a while. Recently... I just transferred from another school, and I'm catching up with the monthly exam. There are many things to do."
Yu Pingchuan snorted lightly.
"Coax me with this again, how much energy can these things waste your energy? Let me ask you, how is your monthly exam result?"
Ning Li is honest:
"First."
Yu Pingchuan glanced at her:
"Why, are you willing to take the exam now?"
Ning Li listened obediently.
Seeing her obedient appearance, Yu Pingchuan thought of some past events, and felt a little distressed, and he was not willing to discipline her.
"The painting is okay."
He took a sip of tea, and the matter was over.
Ning Li laughed.
"Thank you, Teacher Yu."
Yu Pingchuan snorted, and remembered another thing:
"By the way, you live in Ye's house now, right? How are you doing there?"
The corners of Ning Li's lips curved slightly:
"good."
Yu Pingchuan looked at her and didn't speak.
He had stayed in Lincheng for a long time before, and he always thought that Ning Li's biological mother was gone.
Who knew that she was actually in Yunzhou, married into the Ye family, and had a good life.
If Grandma Ning Li hadn't died of a sudden heart attack, the Ye family would never have had any contact with Ning Li.
It's okay to live like this
But seeing that Ning Li's eyes were calm, he didn't continue to delve into it. Instead, he asked about other aspects, and Ning Li spoke up.
After a while, Lin Yaohui came over to greet them for dinner.
"Old Yu, A Li, it's time to eat!"
There are steaming hot meals on the dining table.
Ning Li saw a pot of unknown things in the middle at a glance.
A milky white soup base with a few leaves floating on top.
"Ari, come and sit here."
Yu Pingchuan waved.
The moment Ning Li sat down, Yu Pingchuan brought over a large bowl of fish soup.
"Come on, try it!"
Lin Yaohui gave him a sympathetic look, and then he started cooking like crazy, without giving Teacher Yu any chance to help serve the soup.
Ning Li scooped it up with a spoon, and saw a piece of charred fish.
She bit the bullet and took a sip of the soup.
Yu Pingchuan looked expectant:
"How about it?"
Ning Li smiled: "It's delicious."
Yu Pingchuan was also very happy, and said that he wanted to have a bowl for himself.
Ning Li pressed it down.
"Mr. Yu, didn't the doctor say you can't drink this kind of food? The purine content is too high."
"Hey, all right."
Yu Pingchuan let go of his hand regretfully,
"Then drink more."
Ning Li: "OK."
Lin Yaohui respected Ning Li and silently gave her a thumbs up in his heart.
After eating, Yu Pingchuan took a few glances at Ning Li:
"Ari, would you like some fruit?"
Ning Li nodded: "Okay."
Yu Pingchuan was overjoyed immediately:
"Xiao Lin, hurry up and cut the fruit, I just bought it yesterday—"
"Uncle Lin, I happened to have some with me just now, let's eat that." Ning Li interrupted him.
"Hey, good!"
Lin Yaohui said, walked over and took out the things.
Yu Pingchuan glanced around, and the smile on his face disappeared little by little.
Grapefruit.
cucumber.
tomato!
Yu Pingchuan's eyelids twitched:
"You call this fruit?"
"Yes." Ning Li went to help wash it, and brought it over, "You don't like it?"
Yu Pingchuan still had many physical problems, and the doctor had told him to pay special attention to his diet.
But he has no self-control in this area. Although Lin Yaohui is taking care of him, sometimes he will secretly eat some high-sugar fruits or something.
Lin Yaohui found out several times, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Looking at the plump red tomato delivered to him, Yu Pingchuan struggled for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand stiffly.
"how come."
Lin Yaohui watched from the side, and sighed silently in his heart.
That is Ning Li, who can cure Mr. Yu.
If it were someone else, they would have already been thrown out with their belongings.
Yu Pingchuan took a bite, it was tasteless.
He couldn't help but look up:
"Ari, I still have lychees and peaches in my refrigerator, look, or I'll eat—"
Ning Li glanced at him.
Yu Pingchuan swallowed the rest of the words.
After honestly eating the tomato, he said:
"A friend sent a horse a few days ago, Ali, shall we go and have a look together?"
Ning Li was surprised:
"You bought another one?"
He has no other hobbies in his life, just painting and raising horses.
"No, no, I haven't bought it yet."
Yu Pingchuan waved his hands again and again.
"They were sent to the racecourse, and I haven't had time to see them yet. It just so happens that you are also in Yunzhou, so let's make time to go and have a look together."
There is an equestrian club in Yunzhou, which raises a lot of horses, some are for people to train equestrianism, and some are professional racing horses, which will be sent to Hong Kong City for competitions in the future, that is, horse betting.
Ning Li shook her head:
"I won't go. Besides, haven't you already bought several horses? Not enough?"
Yu Pingchuan took a step back:
"Then, why don't you take it for a walk with the old man? I won't buy it, I'll just take a look."
Ning Li said bluntly: "You want to see if that horse is worth buying if it is sent to the race?"
Yu Pingchuan felt guilty:
"Hey, if you have to say that, it's not impossible."
Ning Li hadn't been with him for a long time.
She thought for a moment, and finally nodded:
"Okay, then I'll go with you."
Lin Yaohui drove and took Yu Pingchuan and Ning Li to the racecourse.
Because it is just south of the city, not far away, they will arrive soon.
This is a private equestrian club, not small in scale.
Yu Pingchuan had obviously greeted him in advance, as soon as he arrived, someone was already waiting to greet him.
A car drives past.
Ning Li glanced at it unintentionally, vaguely felt that the person inside looked familiar, but passed by too quickly, so she didn't see it clearly.
She didn't care, and followed Mr. Yu out of the car.
