This day's dinner is a clear soup made of diced salted egg and shredded cabbage, served with a dish of cold shredded chicken. The seasonings are lightly seasoned, but a lot of toasted sesame seeds and chopped nuts are sprinkled. The vegetables have a little Northeast flavor The tiger dish uses green peppers, onions, and cilantro, and adds some carrots. It tastes spicy and appetizing, but it will not be troubled by calories.
As for the dim sum, it is ice powder made from hand-rubbed ice powder seeds, with a little bit of brown sugar water, sabadan wood and raisins poured on it, and some diced fruit.
The TV in the living room is playing news, but no one in the whole house is really listening to the news—but the sound of the news broadcast makes the whole house feel lively and secular.
A little noisy sound seems to be more appetizing than advanced soothing piano music.
"Sorry, it's a little late to cook today, so I can only eat something casually..."
He Yunzhou put the dishes on the table one by one, then put his hands on the apron, and said very sorry.
"It doesn't matter."
Huo Zheng sat upright on the dining chair, pushed the pumpkin sitting on his lap off his body, and then he showed a sweet smile that was a bit silly to He Yunzhou.
However, this smile was naturally ignored by the absent-minded He Yunzhou.
Huo Zheng was slightly taken aback, and his smile faded a little.
But soon he cheered up again, and excitedly started a conversation with He Yunzhou.
"Well, I read your latest manga."
"Um?"
He Yunzhou gave a vague response in a trance.
"Huo... Huo Xiaomiao is so cute drawn by you."
Huo Zheng lowered his eyes shyly, and said quickly.
After a pause for a few seconds, he added nonchalantly: "I saw many of your fans also say, it's cute."
"Ah, yes, many people have said, it's cute."
He Yunzhou said nonchalantly.
He didn't notice at all, when he said "it's cute", Huo Zheng smiled knowingly at him.
"Today, I saw a message on the Internet, which said... 'If I praise you for being beautiful, I may just be stating a fact, but if I think you are cute, then it must be because I have a crush on you'."
Huo Zheng took out his mobile phone without a trace under the table, glanced at the passage he had specially written down, and said to He Yunzhou with his heart beating wildly.
But when he looked up, he found that He Yunzhou had left the dining table at some point, and when he came back, he was holding a small pot of freshly baked sweet potatoes and potatoes in his hand.
"Let's eat."
He Yunzhou pulled out the chair and sat down, then said to Huo Zheng.
After a while, he looked at Huo Zheng with some hesitation.
"What's wrong?"
he asks.
"Ah, that, I'm online today... Ah, forget it, let's eat."
Huo Zheng said dryly, and put the phone aside in frustration.
His failure was so obvious that even he had a faint feeling in his heart that He Yunzhou would realize what was wrong with him in the next second and asked him what happened with concern.
But obviously, today's He Yunzhou had his own thoughts, he absent-mindedly peeled a sweet potato, peeled the sweet potato slowly, but didn't take a bite for a long time.
Huo Zheng sat at the dining table with downcast eyes, first drank some soup, then silently picked up shredded chicken with his chopsticks, unknowingly eating slower and slower.
And He Yunzhou was in deep thought the whole time, until the other party directly put down his chopsticks, only to realize that Huo Zheng's appetite tonight was unbelievably small.
"Why did you stop eating all of a sudden?"
He Yunzhou recovered from his daze, saw Huo Zheng's appearance, and asked a little tiredly.
"you… "
Huo Zheng stared at He Yunzhou for a long time, then said after deliberating, "Aren't you very happy?"
he asks.
He Yunzhou was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Why do you ask that?"
"The soup is too salty."
Huo Zheng replied frankly.
"ah?"
He Yunzhou was startled, and quickly tasted all the dishes he cooked that night, only to realize that his dinner was indeed a bit of a failure today.
Not only is the soup too salty, but other dishes are more or less flawed. The vinegar flavor in the shredded chicken is too strong, and the brown sugar water in the brown sugar ice powder is boiled out of bitterness.
"I'm sorry," He Yunzhou suddenly became annoyed, "I'll make another one..."
"Need not."
Huo Zheng stretched out his hand suddenly, and pressed He Yunzhou's back, his palm felt very warm.
He stared straight at his lover, then spoke.
"You must have encountered something, right?"
"ah?"
"Did someone bully you?"
Huo Zheng said.
"If someone bullies you, tell me, and I will help you solve it."
"..."
He Yunzhou froze for a moment.
At that moment, he didn't even know how to speak.
No, it's really nothing.
Haha, nothing really, I can handle it.
He Yunzhou's lips moved together, and the words he had been familiar with for so many years could be blurted out, but at this moment they were inexplicably stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak them out.
In fact, although he was a little absent-minded and thinking about the plagiarized matter all night, in essence, He Yunzhou did not regard that matter as a major event.
After all, in the final analysis, similar things, whether serious or minor, have not been uncommon in the past and will not be uncommon in the future.
Even Xiao Xi knew how to persuade him not to go directly to the so-called Jing Kan Luohua to avoid the situation getting out of hand.
Tonight, he was just a little depressed...
That's all.
And, even in this depression, it was more self-loathing: why not be more vigilant? Why leave room for plagiarism to those people? Why not realize something is wrong in the first place
…
Originally, He Yunzhou didn't feel wronged or sad at all.
However, at this moment, there is a person who, when he doesn't know the details, will tell him so seriously - if someone bullies you, I will help you vent your anger.
He Yunzhou felt as if his heart had been pinched hard, and it suddenly became sore and soft.
He stared blankly at Huo Zheng, the man's eyes were so serious, without even the slightest bit of perfunctory.
He Yunzhou clearly felt that what Huo Zheng said just now was not the perfunctory comfort he encountered before.
Huo Zheng said those words seriously.
"I... I did... run into some troublesome things."
He Yunzhou spoke to Huo Zheng very unfamiliarly and slowly.
What a strange feeling.
he thought inwardly.
It turned out that it would be such a strange thing to tell another person that I was in trouble.
He didn't even dare to look at Huo Zheng's face subconsciously.
And the moment he said it, deep regret filled his heart.
In fact, there is no need to tell the other party at all... This kind of trivial matter just needs to be solved by yourself.
It is estimated that Huo Zheng will just say lightly, oh, then don't worry about it too much, right
Just like what his parents and teachers told him since he was a child.
When he was young, He Yunzhou would foolishly think that if he told others about his pain and troubles, he would really get help from others.
It wasn't until he grew up that He Yunzhou realized how stupid he was.
All the problems, in the end, are resolved by themselves, but it is easier.
But while thinking this way, he still stammered, and very dryly told Huo Zheng everything that the publishing house of "God Cat" and that Jing Wang Luo Hua had done.
"...It's really nothing, it's just a little annoying. I'm fine."
However, at the end, He Yunzhou habitually added this sentence.
