She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Today is a sunny day. The sunlight shines in through the kitchen window, casting a faint, soft golden glow on the person who is cutting vegetables with his head down.

Soft and warm, just like every morning in the past.

I dreamed of Zhou Hanzhi cooking for me again.

I looked at it for a while, pulled the corners of my lips in self-mockery, then turned around and went straight into the bathroom.

Dreams are just dreams, just watch them and don’t take them seriously. If you do, the happier I feel now, the more disappointed I will be later.

But when I held the door handle and opened the bathroom door, I suddenly smelled a strange smell.

Is it a dream?

If everything was a dream, why could I smell the fragrance of food in my dream?

In front of me, there was a men's watch casually placed on the bathroom sink, a Patek Philippe Nautilus.

It belongs to Zhou Hanzhi.

The memory was like a curtain on the stage, which was suddenly torn open by the watch, and everything that happened last night was played out on the stage.

Last night, Zhou Hanzhi ambushed me in the underground parking lot. I broke his nose with one punch. He complained and asked me to take responsibility. I took him home and helped him wash his nose and face. I accidentally tore his shirt, so I asked him to take off his shirt, but he took it off completely and carried me into the bathroom to ask for a reward... This watch was taken off by him and placed on the sink when he took off his shirt.

And at this moment, the watch is still on the sink, which means that I am not dreaming.

Not a dream, but reality.

Zhou Hanzhi cooking in the kitchen was real, so I could not only see him cooking, but also smell the fragrance of the food.

So, not only did Zhou Hanzhi carry me into the bathroom and eat me up last night, he also slept in my house all night, and now he's still staying in my house?

"Zhou Hanzhi!" I suddenly reacted and rushed out of the bathroom without even bothering to wash my face. I wanted to question Zhou Hanzhi, asking him why he was so thick-skinned and did so many unreasonable things to me. I should chase him away!

But I had just taken two steps when I bumped into Zhou Hanzhi.

He was walking out with a plate of fried eggs. My living room was so small, I rushed over quickly and dived into his arms.

"Are you extremely hungry?" Zhou Hanzhi held my waist firmly, "Little greedy cat, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist."

My fierce questioning momentum just now was disrupted and broken by his words "little glutton".

I immediately broke free from his arms, adjusted my rhythm, gathered my strength, and prepared to question him.

But his palm touched the top of my head, stroking it twice, then he looked down at me with a smile on his lips, and said in a gentle and doting tone: "You can't eat without washing up, go and wash your face and brush your teeth first, I'll serve the porridge, it's just right for you to drink."

The gentleness in his eyes was like the sea at dusk, quiet and peaceful. I just took a look and lost my temper again. The question that came to my mouth turned into a stammer: "You, why are you still here?"

"I'm here to make breakfast for you." Zhou Hanzhi answered very naturally, "Otherwise, with your habit, you would definitely go to work without eating breakfast today. After a busy day, your stomach would still be empty. It would be strange if your stomach could be healthy."

Phew, who needs him to care about the stomach?

Besides, is this the question I'm asking?

I clenched my fists, ready to question again.

But before I could open my mouth, he pushed me and urged me: "Don't talk about this for now. Aren't you hungry? Go wash your face and come back. I'll go check on the vegetable cake."

After saying that, he put down the fried eggs and hurried back to the kitchen to check the pot.

Watching Zhou Hanzhi's back as he hurried to the kitchen, my unspoken questions were blocked.

I went to the bathroom to wash up in a daze. My mind was a mess. It was really strange. It was such a simple question, why couldn't I say it? Did Zhou Hanzhi cast a spell on me, so when I faced him, I always failed?

I poured cold water on my face, looked at myself in the mirror covered with water droplets, and made up my mind secretly.

What needs to be done must be done. The most important thing right now is to get Zhou Hanzhi out of my house. Otherwise, if someone sees us, I won’t be able to explain myself even if I have a big mouth.

It would be even more troublesome if Aunt Xu, the talkative and gossipy property manager of the community, saw it...

I mustered up my courage once again and walked out of the bathroom.

But as soon as I walked into the living room, Zhou Hanzhi greeted me warmly: "Have you finished washing? Come and sit down. I remember that you like vegetable pancakes. I happened to see that there were some leftover vegetables in your refrigerator, so I made two for you. Try it and see how salty it is."

"You remembered it wrongly. I don't like vegetable cakes. Zhou Hanzhi, are you done with your work? If you are, please leave quickly." This time I learned my lesson. I didn't look into his eyes, but directly rejected his invitation and shouted at him to leave.

My face was very stiff. I guess my expression must be very serious at the moment. If Zhou Hanzhi had any shame, he would not stay here any longer.

The smile on Zhou Hanzhi's face froze, the air became quiet, and began to slowly solidify.

I stood there, tensed my back, and spoke again: "I will compensate you for your shirt, but you must leave now, otherwise..."

"I won't remember it wrong." Zhou Hanzhi suddenly interrupted me, frowning, looking serious and earnest, "I remember your preferences very clearly. You like vegetable pancakes. I made them for you several times before, and you enjoyed them very much. Vegetable pancakes with fried eggs are one of your favorite combinations."

Damn it, can't he hear me? Why is he talking about vegetable cakes at this time? I clearly told him to leave quickly!

I squeezed my fingers hard and took a deep breath. "It's none of Cai Bing's business, Zhou Hanzhi. I need you to leave my house right now. I don't want anyone to see someone else's boyfriend walking out of my house. Listen..."

"So Xuxu, you still like to eat vegetable pancakes, right? Then you can try the vegetable pancakes I made today. I cut the vegetables very finely and adjusted the taste. Try it and give me some suggestions. Your husband will improve it next time." Zhou Hanzhi was really deaf. He didn't listen to me at all. It seemed that there was only vegetable pancakes in his mind!

My patience reached its limit, and I finally couldn't hold it back and burst out: "I won't eat! Zhou Hanzhi, you are not my husband, and I am not your Xuxu anymore. I have a boyfriend, and we are just work colleagues now. I want you to get out of my house right now!"

Zhou Hanzhi finally stopped mentioning vegetable cakes repeatedly, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

The air was completely quiet and dull. He looked at me quietly, but a sadness slowly flowed in his dark eyes.

This is not the first time I have seen Zhou Hanzhi like this. Last time, at the wedding banquet with Yuan Tianye, Zhou Hanzhi blocked me in the restroom of the lounge and looked at me with such sad eyes. He also begged me not to fall in love and to wait for him...

I looked away from him, turned around and took out his coat and watch: "Mr. Zhou, please."

However, just as I finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
